////////////////////Most Distant Detection Of Water In The Universe
ScienceDaily (Apr. 26, 2009) — Astronomers have found the most distant signs of water in the Universe to date. The water vapour is thought to be contained in a jet ejected from a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy, named MG J0414+0534

Dr John McKean of the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) will be presenting the discovery at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science in Hatfield on Wednesday 22nd April.
The water emission is seen as a maser, where molecules in the gas amplify and emit beams of microwave radiation in much the same way as a laser emits beams of light. The faint signal is only detectable by using a technique called gravitational lensing, where the gravity of a massive galaxy in the foreground acts as a cosmic telescope, bending and magnifying light from the distant galaxy to make a clover-leaf pattern of four images of MG J0414+0534. The water maser was only detectable in the brightest two of these images.
Dr McKean said, "We have been observing the water maser every month since the detection and seen a steady signal with no apparent change in the velocity of the water vapour in the data we've obtained so far. This backs up our prediction that the water is found in the jet from the supermassive black hole, rather than the rotating disc of gas that surrounds it."
The radiation from the water maser was emitted when the Universe was only about 2.5 billion years old, a fifth of its current age.
"The radiation that we detected has taken 11.1 billion years to reach the Earth. However, because the Universe has expanded like an inflating balloon in that time, stretching out the distances between points, the galaxy in which the water was detected is about 19.8 billion light year

Pronunciation: ['blahr-nee]
Definition: (1) The gift of eloquent speech; (2) empty words, double-talk, fabrication, nonsense.
Usage: The first meaning of today's word has all but faded. To express this sentiment it is better to say that someone is 'blessed with the gift of the Blarney Stone.' "Blarney" is used today most often to refer to deceptive flattery or exaggerated fabrication.

/////////////////A sapper is an individual engineer soldier usually in British Army or Commonwealth military service.
Considered the most elite combat engineer soldiers in the United States Army[1], a Pionier in the German Army and a sapeur in the French Army, a sapper/combat engineer may perform any of a variety of combat engineering duties. Such tasks typically include bridge-building, laying or clearing minefields, demolitions, field defences as well as building, road and airfield construction and repair.
In other words, a modern sapper's tasks involve facilitating movement and logistics of allied forces and impeding that of enemies.

The character is loosely based on a historical László Almásy, who was indeed a well-known desert explorer in 1930s Egypt and who did help the German side in the WWII fighting; but he did not get burned or die in Italy, but survived the war and lived until 1951, and is not known to have had an affair with Katharine Clifton - who was also a historical figure, but died long before the war and not in the circumstances depicted. The book (and the film based upon it) never made any claim to historical veracity, but rather made use of actual persons and situations and considerably changed them to fit with the needs of the storyline.
