'Tragedy' - Lyrics By BeeGees

** Tragedy **

Here I lie
In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Goin’home
I just can’t take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on
It’s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don’t know why
It’s hard to bear
With no-one to love you you’re
Goin’ nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It’s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don’t know why
It’s hard to bear
With no-one to love you you’re
Goin’ nowhere

Night and day
There’s a burning down inside of me
Burning love
With a yearning that won’t let me be
Down I go
And I just can’t take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on
It’s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don’t know why
It’s hard to bear
With no-one to love you you’re
Goin’ nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It’s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don’t know why
It’s hard to bear
With no-one to love you you’re
Goin’ nowhere

The Beauty Of An Ancient Queen

Even though the world and all in it are forever changing, a few things never do, not in principals, like the effort all females are willing to invest in their beauty. Or the appreciation of it on the male's part. Or the artist's ideas to express it.

A computerized tomography has revealed the real face of Queen Nefertiti, hidden underneath an external layer of her very well known sculpture: she had wrinkles round the corners of her lips and on the cheeks, less prominent jawbones, with an imperfect nose.

Some 3,300 years ago, the artists who was commissioned to sculpt on stone but, afterwards, decided to add a new plaster layer over the original version of the bust, adapting small changes according to the aesthetic beauty of the era. So confirmed a team of investigators of Imaging Science Institute of Berlin, in the Scientific Radiology magazine.

The magnetism of the bust of Nefertiti, wife of Pharaoh Akenaton, has captivated archeologists and ordinary observers ever since 1912, the year when it was discovered by a German, Ludwig Borchardt in likely the burial ground between Luxor and Cairo. After submitted the rare and precious sculpture to computerized tomography giving 64 spiral cuts, the investigators not only found the sculpture in the state of good conservation, but also it's true face.

After being regarded as a very beautiful queen for 3,300 years, I wonder whether the queen was of the character that would be glad to be finally seen as her true self, or would she be annoyed that she couldn't continue with her reputation of being a beautiful queen any more? Personally I think she looked just fine as she really was.

The Piano Lovers

Carles Santos is a very famous musician-pianist. He was taking his lover, so he calls his beloved piano, for a walk recently, on the Rambla of Barcelona, the almost obligatory first stop of international and national tourists coming to this cosmopolitan city.

It was to celebrate the new campaign of the Santa Monica Art Centre. The piano was mounted of a platform on wheels, running through the most centric and well frequented main streets, then stopping in the Avenida from Canaletes, where he gave a most immodest dance of fiery love and passion, performed by 2 actors/dancers, right on top the piano, to the utter surprise and delight of an enormous crowd of passersby.

Nigerian Mail & Phising

By Spanish law, the cyber police here are not allowed to follow trails of cyber delinquents who commit fraudulent crimes with email and other illegal means, unless they have been clearly and openly denounced. If they act on their own, even when the crime is evident, the cyber agents will be accused of incitement or provocation, becoming the hunters hunted. They can only act when any crime has actually been carried out, or proven to have been committed.

A good example is the swindle the police could persecute, if they were permitted by law, is the so nicknamed 'Nigerian mail', which has been in practice for some time. Email signed by someone with a typical and resounding African name asking help to take out large sum of money from some country, in exchange for a succulent commission. This had surprising hooked a lot of people. These mail are done in several languages. The swindlers contracted part time students of Erasmus to do the translation. It's done via legal firms and the students don't know what they are in for.

Recently the National Police arrested 23 people in and around Madrid, who sent out daily 20.000 mail of this kind, with which most surprisingly, they had managed to cheat 150 people of the United States and of Europe. Paradoxically, what the Spanish police can't do the reporters can. One well distributed newspaper here responded to a donation of € 80,000 offered by one such Mr. Anani Kassa, in what is clearly a variation of the 'Nigerian mail', but in French. It's done from an Email address created for the purpose, and the supposedly lawyer Anani Kassa answered within 24 hours from an Email address, which led to the Republic of Benin. Mr. Kassa urged the press to facilite them a current account to send the money. Then with a new mail in which the press showed certain reticence, he facilitated a telephone number in Benin.

At the end, obviously, the newspaper did not close the deal, knowing that it was a swindle. But as they had not actually cheated the press out of anything, there's nothing to denounce. The police simply can't interfere. But other police from other countries could have followed it up.

In the same classic line of cyber-swindle, there's phishing, which consists of a correspondence seemingly from a bank, to update client's personal details, requesting them to facilitate their identification and password. If you do that, all your money would no doubt disappear in a very short time, with the thief having a high time, far away in another part of the world.
