Everyone says that we must use less energy! But how? That is the
big question. In this article, you can read about the house of the
future, which uses hardly any energy at all...
Most houses use energy - lots of it. We use energy for heating,
[5] lighting, for running our household appliances - TV's, washing
machines, fridges, and so on. In winter time, most houses use
dozens of kilowatts of electricity every day, or the equivalent in
gas.
The house in the photo, on the other hand, uses virtually nothing:
[10] most of the energy that it uses comes straight from the sun, the
wind or the ground. This is an experimental house at the University
of Nottingham, and it could be the kind of house that most people
are living in fifty years from now.
During the daytime, it is rarely necessary to turn on an electric
[15] light, even in rooms without windows. Sunlight, or daylight, is
"piped" through the house, into each room, through special highreflection
aluminium tubes. You can see how well they reflect light,
by looking at the reflections of the faces in the picture!

UFG 2012/2Layout elements
Layout elements are largely used in newspapers, magazines, and business documents. They serve to either provide information to readers or to attract their attention. In the best situations, these elements accomplish both tasks.
Lines of text that are set in larger type for the purpose of attracting readers are headlines.
In a lengthy article, subheads can be used to break text into shorter segments. Subheads can also appear beneath a headline, but should not be too detailed.
When you want to draw attention to a dramatic quote, you can reprint the quote in larger type within the article. The second, larger version of the quote is known as a pull quote.
Infographics are informational graphic elements such as maps, charts, and diagrams.
When you include photos, artwork, or infographics, you might need a caption to give readers a bit more detail.

UFG 2012/2New leukemia treatment exceeds 'wildest expectations'
A single shot could be one of the biggest advances in cancer research in decades, scientists say.
By Robert Bazell Chief science and health correspondent NBC News
Doctors have treated only three leukemia patients, but the sensational results from a single shot could be one of the most significant advances in cancer research in decades.
In the research published Wednesday, doctors at the University of Pennsylvania say the treatment made the most common type of leukemia completely disappear in two of the patients and reduced it by 70 percent in the third. In each of the patients as much as five pounds of cancerous tissue completely melted away in a few weeks, and a year later it is still gone.
The results of the preliminary test “exceeded our wildest expectations,” says immunologist Dr. Carl June, a member of the Abramson Cancer Center's research team.
Dr. Edgar Engleman, a cancer immunologist at Stanford University School of Medicine who was not involved in the research calls the results “remarkable ... great stuff.”
The Penn scientists targeted chroniclymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common type of the blood disease. It strikes some 15,000 people in the United States, mostly adults, and kills 4,300 every year. Chemotherapy and radiation can hold this form of leukemia at bay for years, but until now the only cure has been a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow transplant requires a suitable match, works only about half the time, and often brings on severe, life-threatening side effects such as pain and infection.
