One of the most interesting authors of the twenty century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien receives his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a profession of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University.

Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949.

CROSSWORD PUZZLES – AND WHY THEY ATTRACT?

What is it about this enigmatic grid of black and white squares that holds such universal appeal?

Crosswords exercise our little grey cells, of course; and they test our vocabularies and general knowledge. But the urge to solve a crossword is about more than mental gymnastics. Humans are, by nature, problem-solvers. We love the crossword because the puzzle is solvable and finite: there is a right answer. The crossword allows us to bring order to chaos. It challenges, absorbs, comforts and distracts us. As Martha Petheridge, the first female editor of the crossword puzzle, said at the height of the Great Depression. “Who can worry about the rent when you are trying to solve 25 down?”

The very first puzzle resembling a crossword was devised by a man named Arthur Wynne. Wanting something a bit special for that year’s seasonal supplement, he came up with the “Word-Cross”. Derived from the ancient game of acrostics and the Victorian pastime of word squares, Wynne’s first  puzzle was diamond shaped. It was published on Sunday December 21st, 1913 with 31 simple clues, no black squares and little fanfare. The story might have ended there, but a few readers wrote in expressing their enthusiasm for the new brain-teaser and, much to the dismay of the typesetters, it was back the following week.

The first crossword published in the United Kingdom appeared in the Sunday Express on November 2, 1924. After initial skepticism, including an article in the Times branding the crossword a menace that had “enslaved American, Britain succumbed to the puzzle’s allure; but the challenge of the straightforward “definitional” crossword – where the clue might be quick and the answer is “fast” – soon began to pall. A new, distinctly British, style of crossword began to emerge: the cryptic. The cryptic was complicated, intellectually brooding cousin of the definitional – it had mystique and depth. With English being a language that consists of so many words from other languages and having so many ways of  saying the same things, it was hardly surprising that cryptic crosswords writes took pains to go beyond simple definitions. But whether you enjoy a quick crossword or a cryptic one, the essential features are  the same. The best writers all know that the essence of a good crossword lies in providing a sufficient number of questions for which the answers come with relative case and then grading the difficulty level  of those that remain. In other words, what you get is something that appears “doable” at first, but that gradually opens up in the face of dogged persistence. This is where the addiction sets in: The more crosswords one completes, the more fluent one and the more addicted you become.

Over the past century, there have been many imitators – and in recent years, a numerical challenge  in the form of the mathematical teaser, Sudoku – yet the appeal of the classic crossword remained undimmed. In fact, a curious turnabout is taking place as crosswords hold their own against video games and other competitions. Rather than competing, the internet facilitates endless discussions about clues and answers, and, as a consequence, the typical crossword consumer appears to be getting considerably younger than their counterparts in previous generations.

WE’RE YOUNGER THAN WE EVER WERE!

Today’s mature adults are participating in all kinds of activities, both physical and intellectual. Old  people have never been so young.

A. A Helping Hand

If you belong to the older generation, Singapore is a good place to live! On this island, the Ministry for Community Development and Sport is working hard to encourage sporting activities among all age groups, including the older citizens. The Ministry believes that physical activity helps people to  keep a positive self-image and contributes to their sense of well-being: mental as well as physical. There are two main programmes which aim to promote and encourage different activities among the older generation. The first of these is a Mutual Help programme, where older people meet for various activities including sports. Here, the emphasis is on helping and thinking of other people. The second programme is  a programme of activities organised by the Senior Citizens’ Clubs. Many of these clubs have keep-fit equipment, and a large number of social and cultural events take place there, as well as sporting activities. Both programmes aim to encourage older people to lead an active, healthy and meaningful life.

B. Healthy Exercise

In Ireland, there is a national programme for sport and physical activity for older people. It is called “Go for Life”. The physical fitness professionals on this programme work exclusively with older people. We know that regular physical activity is good for our health. Research also proves that it can prevent many common illnesses, such as high blood pressure and asthma. Physical exercise will also help people who already have such illnesses. However, people often become less active as they get older. This is probably because they feel that they are “too old to participate in sports. Nothing could be less true. Older people can take part in the programme on their own, with activities such as walking, gardening or swimming, or they can bring their friends to organised events in their own area, such as bowling, tennis or dancing. There is a free book called Opportunities in Retirement which suggests different kinds of activities and gives contact details of different organisations.

C. Lifelong Learning

Elderhostel, founded in 1975, is the world’s largest educational and travel organisation for older adults. Its aim is to excite people’s minds and enrich people’s lives. There are no examinations or marks. All that you need in order to enroll on a programme, is an enquiring mind and an adventurous spirit. Also, of course, you need to believe that learning and discovery continue all your life. There are expert instructors and experienced group leaders for field trips and cultural excursions. Elderhostel offers a large number of programmes in a huge variety of areas. First of all, there are traditional programmes. Here, people study ancient histories, literature and art, and can learn about different cultures, modern peoples and issues. Then there is a group of adventure programmes involving activities like hiking, kayaking, biking and studying whales. There are also programmes which give people the chance to help communities in different ways, such as protecting endangered species, tutoring school children and building affordable housing. Finally, there are programmes which take place aboard a boat, anywhere from the Antarctic waters to the Mississippi River.

D. The Spice of Life

Port Lincoln, a city in Australia, is a place which is particularly geared to older people. This is because of an organization called OPINACT (Older People in Action). OPINACT’s motto is: “Promoting the lifestyle of the over So’s in Port Lincoln”. Amongst other things, it provides simple, on line information on activities and services. For example, under the heading “Lifestyle”, it lists 28 different options, ranging from “Boating & Fishing” to “Yoga”, from “Family History” to “Tai-Chi”. There is no shortage of activities, here! In the “Sports” section, there are 33 different possibilities. Alongside the usual sports like swimming, hockey and cricket, you will find “Dog Clubs”, “Flying Clubs” and “Aussie Sports”. The “Seniors” page shows fascinating headings, such as “Age of Reason”, “Year of Older Persons” and “Seniors in Cyberspace”. Clearly, they believe in the connection between physical health and mental health. The word “old” has a very different and very positive meaning in Port Lincoln.

Which organization(s):

21. ___C____ has professionals to help older people with sporting activities?

22. ___D____ has a programme which enables you to find out about your ancestors?

23. ____C___ gives students the chance to construct low-price accommodation?

25. ___C____ is appropriate for people who like excitement?

26. ___B____ encourages activities for one person and for groups?

27. ___C____ enables students to help animals that are in danger of becoming extinct?

28. ___D____ has a big website?

29. ___B____ organizes sporting activities, and nothing else, for older adults?

30. ___A____ has two programmes of activities?
