Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are(yeah)

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are.

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

TV broadcast: Junk food Regulation

Why junk food is so addictive? because it is delicious you may think. Listen to what the expert has to say  about  it. Go to the next address to see the video.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-10-19/professor-brownell-predicts-junk-food-regulation/3580266

STEVE CANNANE, PRESENTER: One of the world's leading junk food experts says governments will soon adopt aggressive regulations against unhealthy food manufacturers because of mounting evidence that junk food can trigger addictive eating behaviour.

As a result, he says, some companies could also be vulnerable to legal action for promoting goods with high levels of sugar, fat and salt.

Yale University's Kelly Brownell is in Australia to discuss the latest research with Australian governments and public health officials.

Margot O'Neill has the story.

MARGOT O'NEILL, REPORTER: When American film-maker Morgan Spurlock first started gorging on junk food in the documentary Super Size Me, he threw up.

But after 30 days, he said he only felt well when he ate fast food. The rest of the time he complained of feeling depressed and irritable.

MORGAN SPURLOCK, DOCUMENTARY MAKER (Excerpt from Super Size Me): I just feel really depressed, you know, for no reason. I mean, things are going great. I've had a good day.

MARGOT O'NEILL: Were these classic withdrawal symptoms?

Kelly Brownell from Yale University's Rudd Food Policy and Obesity Center says scientific research is nearing the point of linking junk food to addiction.

KELLY BROWNELL, YALE UNIVERSITY: There's more and more research suggesting that an addictive process does in fact take place and I think this will change the world debate on food and the behaviour of the food industry, because all of a sudden they're going to have to be accountable for intentional manipulation of ingredients that work on the brain like this.

There might be serious government restrictions on what could be sold to or marketed to children. It really could change things a lot.

MARGOT O'NEILL: Experiments have shown that rats exhibit withdrawal symptoms from junk food. In one experiment rats were prepared to withstand electric shocks to eat junk foot rather than go back to a regular diet. In another experiment rats habituated to both cocaine and sugar were given a choice between the two. 90 per cent chose sugar just about every time.

KELLY BROWNELL: There's studies using laboratory animals and also studies using brain imaging techniques with humans that show a very powerful effect of things like sugar on the brain. It looks very much like classic substances of abuse like heroin and nicotine and alcohol for example. The effect isn't as strong, but it's there.

MARGOT O'NEILL: Experts say it all goes back to our ancestors. Our brains are wired to crave high-energy food because our ancestors were geared for binge eating so they could withstand the lean times. Fats and sugars were biologically prized nutrients because they were so scarce. The problem these days is there's not exactly a shortage of calories on offer.

RUSSELL KEAST, DEAKIN UNIVERSITY: The food environment's changed dramatically over the past 50 years, and arguably we could say that change has been greater in the last 50 years than any other time in our - in known history.

MARGOT O'NEILL: At Deakin University, Dr Russell Keast's research has shown how eating a high fat diet can reduce the feeling of fullness and stimulated the need to eat even more, another hallmark of addiction.

RUSSELL KEAST: We really need to figure out how to activate these fullness mechanisms or these satiety mechanisms in foods to stop the overconsumption.

MARGOT O'NEILL: The highly engineered taste sensation of manufactured food is also to blame.

KELLY BROWNELL: We've become accustomed to this explosion of sensation when we eat a food. The companies are working with scientists now who are doing brain imaging research to find out how the brain can be triggered in the most effective way to want certain foods or to respond to advertisements for those foods.

The major question is: what does this all mean? Where do we go with this? Well I think the implications could be tremendous.

For example, could the industry be held legally liable and financially culpable for intentionally manipulating ingredients that are making people sick if these ingredients hijack the brain?

MARGOT O'NEILL: Russell Keast remains cautious about comparing overconsumption of junk food to drug addiction. He also worries that the fight against the worldwide obesity epidemic could fail if food companies aren't part of the solution.

RUSSELL KEAST: The food companies really are doing exactly what they should be doing and that is producing foods which we like, and there would be great consumer backlash if those appetite compounds - you know, the fats, salts and sugars - were dramatically removed from foods. We've got to enjoy our food.

KELLY BROWNELL: The whole food system has become perverted. We - what used to be natural foods are now a concoction of chemicals with a list a mile long of ingredients. All these things, we don't know how these things work on the brain. We don't know whether they're all safe, but yet they're put into foods with abandon. And some people have even asked whether certain foods like a sugared beverage or a Twinkie or a chip should even be considered a food.

MARGOT O'NEILL: Kelly Brownell says industry makes too much money from unhealthy foods to switch voluntarily, that fat taxes and marketing constraints are needed. One study in the UK found that it could cost more than $13 billion in lost food sales if UK adults returned to 1980 body weight levels by losing about eight kilogram each simply by reducing their calorie intake.

KELLY BROWNELL: The industry hasn't responded at all to this because I don't believe they see it as a threat yet, which is a big mistake. I think it's a tremendous threat to them.

MARGOT O'NEILL: The Australian Food and Grocery Council was asked to comment, but declined.

Margot O'Neill, Lateline.

Shadows are fallin' all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery! I sure could use some company
Since you´ve been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess its all meant to be
For love to cause such misery
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause me misery
And, oh! I've been down this road before
With a passion that turns into pain
And each time I saw love walk out the door
I swore never get caught again
But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
And sometime we get too smart to leave
One more heartache for me
Another night of misery
Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh

Guess its all meant to be
For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah

We were both young when I first saw you,
I close my eyes, and the flash back starts.
I'm standing there. On a balcony of summer air.

I see the lights,
See the party the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd,
You say hello
Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting all theres left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
Tts a love story baby, just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quite because we're dead if they know
So close your eyes, Escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all theres left to do is run
You'll be the prince, I'll be the princess
Tts a love story baby, just say yes

Romeo save me, try to tell me how it is
This love is difficult, but its real,
Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby, just say yes, oh,

I was tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think.
He fell to the ground, and pulled out a ring

Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and thats all you know
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby, just say yes
Oh, Oh, Oh
We were both young when I first saw you

today you will listen a book which like to many people. 

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Victor Hugo began writing The Hunchback of Notre-Dame in 1829. The agreement with his original publisher, Gosselin, was that the book would be finished that same year, but Hugo was constantly delayed due to the demands of other projects. By the summer of 1830, Gosselin demanded Victor Hugo to complete the book by February 1831. Beginning in September 1830, Hugo worked nonstop on the project thereafter. The book was finished six months later.

The story begins on Epiphany (6 January), 1482, the day of the"FEAST OF FOOD" in Paris, France. Quasimodo, the deformed hunchback bell-ringer of Notre Dame, is introduced by his crowning as King of Fools.

Esmeralda, a beautiful Gypsy with a kind and generous heart, captures the hearts of many men, including that of a Captain Phoebus, but especially those of Quasimodo and his adoptive father, Claude Frollo, the Archdeacon of Notre Dame. Frollo is torn between his obsessive love and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to kidnap her, but the hunchback is suddenly captured by Phoebus and his guards who save Esmeralda. Quasimodo is sentenced to be whipped and tied down in the heat. Esmeralda, seeing his thirst, offers him water. It saves him, and she captures his heart.

Esmeralda is later charged with the attempted murder of Phoebus, whom Frollo actually attempted to kill in jealousy, after seing him about to have sex with Esmerelda, and is sentenced to death by hanging. As she is being led to the gallows, Quasimodo swings down by the bell rope of Notre Dame and carries her off to the cathedral under the law of sanctuary Clopin, a street performer, rallies the Truands (criminals of Paris) to charge the cathedral and rescue Esmeralda. The King, seeing the chaos, vetoes the law of sanctuary and commands his troops to take Esmeralda out and kill her. When Quasimodo sees the Truands, he assumes they are there to hurt Esmeralda, so he drives them off. Likewise, he thinks the King's men want to rescue her, and tries to help them find her. Fortunately, she is rescued by Frollo and her phony husband, Gringoire. But after yet another failed attempt to win her love, Frollo betrays Esmeralda by handing her to the troops and watches while she is hanged. Quasimodo pushes him from the heights of Notre Dame to his death. Quasimodo then goes to the mass grave and lies next to Esmeralda's corpse. He then crawls off with the corpse to Esmeralda's tomb, where he cradles her in his arms and eventually dies of starvation. About eighteen months later, the tomb is opened, and the skeletons are found. As someone tries to separate them, Quasimodo's bones turn to dust.

One of the most representative english bands of all times, The Beattles!

The Beatles were an English rock band, active throughout the 1960s and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Formed in Liverpool, by 1962 the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as "Beatlemania", transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. They came to be perceived as the embodiment of ideals of the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.
