At 4:30 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon, the Bison high school girls were hosting Butte in a Class AA playo
soccer game when a familiar sound was heard in the distance. Immediately, in the middle of the 1-0 game,
both teams froze and the head referee stopped the play clock for a minute. One spectator lmed the
incident, which was so simple yet so powerful a gesture. The sound that brought the game to a halt was the
national anthem, which plays over the speaker system at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB), directly across
the street from the Siebel Soccer Park in Great Falls. Every day at 4:30 p.m., the anthem plays as the United
States flag is lowered from its perch.
Usually, the teams are only practicing when the anthem plays, and they stop to honor the ag. However, on
this particular Tuesday, when the anthem played at 4:30 p.m. just as it does every day, the girls on the eld
were in the middle of the 1-0 game. Much to the surprise of onlookers, the head referee stopped the clock,
and the girls knew what to do. Both teams turned toward the ag, and some players placed their hands over
their hearts. Even in the middle of a game, these girls remembered what is really important: showing respect
for our anthem and our flag honors the people who fought for our freedom.
While kids behaving badly will always manage to get attention, there are plenty of other teens who know the
right thing to do. All too often, these youngsters fly under the radar, not drawing the praise they deserve. But,
every once in a while, the spotlight shines brightly on them when they do something particularly awesome. In
a world lled with news about kids doing the wrong thing, it's nice to see a story about teens, like these girls,
who do the right thing. They could certainly teach a few adults about patriotism, loyalty and love for our
country. Good job, girls!

etter sent in 1916 arrives over 100 years later
A letter written during World War | has nally arrived at a at in Crystal Palace, south London, over 100 years
later. According to the BBC, the envelope, sent in February 1916, bears a postmark from the English city of
Bath and includes a one-penny stamp featuring the head of King George V.
The letter nally arrived two years ago at the apartment of theatre director Finlay Glen, 27, who told the
outlet he was confused when he saw it in the mail and only recently gave the letter to a local historical
society. "We were obviously pretty surprised and mysti ed as to how it could have been left there for more
than 100 years," he said.
by: Torricelli1889
The mysterious letter was written to Katie Marsh, wife of local stamp magnate Oswald Marsh, by her friend
Christabel Mennell and it describes her visit to a sanatorium in Bath where her father was a wheelchair user.
The envelope also has a stamp from the Sydenham sorting o ce, which was in operation for over a century
before it closed down in recent years. This led to speculation that the letter was found and placed in the
day's post when the office was cleared out, Glen told the newspaper.
"We are uncertain what happened in this instance," a spokesperson from the Royal Mail said. "We appreciate
that people will be intrigued by the history of this letter from 1916, but we have no further information on
what might have happened.”
Glen told the BBC that if relatives of the letter's sender, or relatives of the intended recipient, wanted the
letter, he would gladly give it to them. "It's an amazing piece of their family history that has turned up," he
said, "if they want to, they can come round."

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation 
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sta , is leading important changes following
recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals
and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive sta s and even the
spouses of senior officers. 
Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top o cers
needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior o cers alone. He
said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer
way”. 
“You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base
because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t
do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in
the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.” 
General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments
to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and
superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions,
“most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”. 
Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their sta s. The
inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general o cers to understand
whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In
addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s sta , and a spouse, are fully aware of
military regulations. 
“In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You
have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General 
Dempsey said.Adapted from www.nytimes.com/2013/04/14/us

Empirically Based Leadership 
A signi cant area of interest within the US Army empirical literature on leadership is emotional intelligence
(EI), which in recent years has been the focus of considerable attention in relationship to leadership e cacy.
Emotional intelligence involves an awareness of one’s own emotions as well as the ability to control them,
social awareness of others and their emotions, and the capacity to understand and manage relationship and
social networks. 
In understanding others’ emotions, an important contributing factor to the success of the more e ective
military o cers is their ability to empathize with their subordinates. In discussing empathy, FM (Field Manual)
6-22 de nes it as “the ability to see something from another person’s point of view, to identify with and
enter into another person’s feelings and emotions”. Empathy is not typically a quality that most soldiers would
readily identify as an essential characteristic to e ective leadership or necessary to producing positive
organizational outcomes, but it is an important quality for competent leadership, especially as it relates to EI.

Welcome to Madrid: City of Protests 
Madrid (CNN) – “The people, united, will never be divided!” yells the crowd, angrily waving banners and
placards. “To ght is the only way!” Dog-walkers, mothers with strollers, and pensioners carrying shopping
bags join the crowd. These people on the sidewalk are no curious neighbors. Indeed, many of them are
complete strangers to the family living on the fth oor, but they are all here to protect Rocio from eviction
- being forced to leave her property by legal process. 
Rocio and her son, now 17 and in high school, moved from Ecuador in 2003, when times were good and jobs
plentiful in Spain. But then the global nancial crisis hit, bringing Spain’s economy down, Rocio lost her two
jobs - in a shop, and as a cleaner. For a while, Rocio got by on bene ts, but then those stopped too. She is an
example of the crisis many Spaniards face as the country deals with the highest unemployment rate since
the Civil War in the 1930s, and a recession entering its second year. “I can’t stand the thought of living on the
streets with my son, but I have no idea where else to go”, she says. 
Rocio’s story is echoed by others all over Spain. It is this fear that took many Spanish citizens to action. Many
of those people who are outside the door of Rocio’s apartment block are supporters of “Stop Desahucios”
(Stop Evictions), part of the Platform of People A ected by Mortgages (PAH – Plataforma de Afectados
por la Hipoteca), a group that campaigns to prevent banks and authorities from eviction because of the
country’s economic crisis. They accuse the banks and authorities of “real estate terrorism”. 
There are also the mass marches of the 15-M movement - also known as the “Indignados”. Activist Dante
Scherma, 24, says citizens were not used to speaking out on political issues. “The 15-M movement made
people talk aboutsocial issues, and about politics in normal conversations - in cafés, restaurants, bars - where
before they only talked about football or fashion.” 
Back in Vicalvaro, the moment of truth has arrived, but the crowd - now shouting at the police, insisting they
have to stop forcing families to leave their properties - appears to have had an impact. Lawyers from the
PAH explain that Rocio will be able to stay - for a while, at least. For those working to stop Spain’s eviction
epidemic, today has seen a small and temporary victory. For those demonstrating about cuts, corruption and
lack of cash, the protests will go on.

President Obama Launches Gun-Violence Task Force 
Five days after deadliest elementary school shooting in U.S. history, President Obama said his administration
plans immediate action early next year on proposals to curb an “epidemic of gun violence”. At a morning
news conference, Obama announced the formation of a task force to be headed by Vice President Joe
Biden that will formulate a package of policy recommendations by January. “The fact that this problem is
complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing”, Obama said. “The fact that we can’t prevent every
act of violence doesn’t mean that we can’t steadily reduce the violence and prevent the very worst
violence.” The president said he intends to push for implementation of the proposals “without delay”. “This is
a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now”, he said. 
While Obama did not o er speci cs, he suggested the task force would examine an array of steps to curb
gun violence and prevent mass shootings, including legislative measures, mental health resources and a “look
more closely at a culture that all-too-often glori es guns and violence”. “I will use all the powers of this o ce
to help advance efforts aimed at preventing more tragedies like this”, Obama said. 
Obama made similar pronouncements following at least four other mass shootings that marked his rst term.
But few policy changes were made. “This is not the rst incident of horri c gun violence of your four years.
Where have you been?”, asked ABC News’ Jake Tapper. “I’ve been president of the United States, dealing
with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, two
wars. I don’t think I’ve been on vacation”, Obama responded.

Apple manufacturing plant workers complain of long hours and militant culture 
Chengdu, China (CNN) — Miss Chen (we changed her name for this story), an 18-year-old student from a
village outside of the southern megacity of Chongqing, is one of more than one million factory workers at a
Chinese company that helps manufacture products for Apple Inc.’s lucrative global empire, which ranked in a
record $46.3 billion in sales last quarter. They work day or night shifts, eating and sleeping at company
facilities, as they help build electronics products for Apple and many other global brand names, such as
Amazon’s Kindle and Microsoft’s Xbox. 
by: Torricelli1889
As a poor college student with no work experience, looking for a job in China’s competitive market is an uphill
battle. So when Chen was offered a one-month position at Foxconn with promises of great benefits and little
overtime, she jumped at the chance. But when she started working, she found out that only senior employees
got such benefits. 
“During my rst day of work, an older worker said to me, ‘Why did you come to Foxconn? Think about it
again and leave right now’,” said Chen, who plans to return to her studies at a Chongqing university soon. 
Foxconn recently released a statement defending its corporate practices, stating its employees are entitled
to numerous bene ts including access to health care and opportunities for promotions and training. In
response to questions from CNN, Apple also released a statement: “We care about every worker in our
worldwide supply chain. We insist that our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with
dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes wherever Apple products
are made. Our suppliers must live up to these requirements if they want to keep doing business with Apple.” 
After three weeks of applying more than 4,000 stickers a day onto iPad screens by hand and working 60
hours a week in an assembly line, Chen says she’s ready to go back to school and study hard so she’ll never
have to return to Foxconn. “It’s so boring, I can’t bear it anymore. Everyday is like: I get o from work and I
go to bed. I get up in the morning, and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an animal,” said
Miss Chen. When asked why humans do machine-like work at Foxconn, she responds, “Well, humans are
cheaper.”

Brazilian Forces Claim Victory in Gang Haven
RIO DE JANEIRO - In a quick and decisive military operation, Brazilian security forces took control of this

In the early afternoon, the military police raised the ags of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro atop a building on the
highest hill in the Alemão shantytown complex, providing a rare moment of happiness and celebration in a
decades-long battle to rid this city’s violent slums of drug gangs.
An air of calm and relief swept through the neighborhood, as residents opened their windows and began
walking the streets. Dozens of children ran from their houses in shorts and bikinis to jump into a swimming
pool that used to belong to a gang leader. Residents congregated around televisions in bars and restaurants,
cheering for the police as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams. “Now the community is

Mark Zuckerberg’s 650 Million Friends (and counting)
Back in June 2009, the globe’s potpourri of social-networking sites was extremely diverse: Google’s Orkut
dominated India and Brazil; Central and South America preferred Hi5; Maktoob was king in the Arab world.
The Vietnamese liked Zing, the Czechs loved Lidé, South Koreans surfed Cyworld. Two years after that, and
Facebook has stolen users away from its rivals very fast. It’s completely knocked Hi5 o the map in former
strongholds such as Peru, Mexico, and Thailand. After a tense back-and-forth with Orkut in India, Facebook
has emerged victorious. And it’s becoming more popular in Armenia, Georgia, and the Netherlands, where
local providers are making a desperate last stand.
There are some glaring exceptions to Facebook’s colonization kick. Russians continue to use Vkontakte and
Odnoklassniki, with Facebook a distant fourth in the rankings. China remains highly committed to domestic
sites such as Qzone and Renren. But for the rest of us, we’re living in Zuckerberg’s world.

A LANGUAGE BY WOMEN, FOR WOMEN
In China, in the past, only men learned to read and write Chinese.Because of that, scholars are not sure how,
or exactly when, women of a fertile valley in the southwestern corner of Hunan province developed their
own way to communicate.
So, a new language called Nushu was born. It was a delicate, graceful script passed from grandmother to
granddaughter, from aunt to niece, from girlfriend to girlfriend - and they never shared it with the men and
boys. Chinese scholars believe it is the only one of its kind.
by: Torricelli1889
(adapted from Edward Cody, Washington Post Foreign Service, February 24, 2004)
In the title "A LANGUAGE BY WOMEN, FOR WOMEN", the use of "by" and "for" means that:

by: Torricelli1889Identical twins go on separate vegan and meat diets to see difference they make to body 
In 2021, a set of identical twins took part in an experiment that involved one going vegan while the other
consumed meat to see which of these two diets is (1) ________________. The diets are complete polar
opposites, but which one is being (2) ___________ to your body? 
Well, explorers Hugo and Ross Turner decided to put the plant-based and omnivore diets to the test to see
which was better - with Hugo ditching meat and dairy and Ross sticking to a diet that included meat, dairy
and sh. The twins took part in the Kings College London study over a 12-week period (3) ______________
the same number of calories each day as well as carrying out the same gym training. 
Hugo admitted that the switch to a plant-based diet hadn't been easy, but he eventually ended up feeling
more energetic. "l was on the vegan diet and it really does take a hit on your body. I was now having to eat
fruit and nuts and alternatives that didn't have any dairy in them - and so that meant I was eating a lot more
wholesome food, which meant that my sugar levels were a lot satiated during the day. I felt like I had more
energy.” 
On the other hand, Ross' meat-eating journey was a little di erent. As he said, his gym performance was 'up
and down a little bit more'. He added that on some days of the challenge he felt very energetic' and on
others he would have 'huge lulls”. 
By the end of the 12-week study, the men found that the di erences between the two diets weren't very
significant, after all.

Cornelius Ryan, the Irish D-Day Reporter Who Re-Invented Journalism
The father of modern literary journalism is Cornelius Ryan, whose massive “I was there” coverage of D-Day
and its aftermath led to two incredible books and movies, The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far. He was an
unlikely war correspondent.
Ryan was on a boat that ditched on Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944. He followed the Allied invasion
attached to General Patton’s army. Years later he put together perhaps the best book about war ever
written. It was exquisite writing and research, and as Michael Shapiro wrote in the Columbia Journalism
Review in 2010, “it broke completely new ground”
Shapiro wrote, “The book (The Longest Day ) was a triumph, earning rave reviews and sales that, within a few
years, would stretch into the tens of millions in eighteen di erent languages. I opened the book on the eve of
a long weekend. I was hooked after a single page. Something was taking place in the telling of this story that
transcended journalism.”
The book was written when Ryan placed an ad in several newspapers in 1957 which went, “June 6th, 1944:
Were You There?” One thousand, one hundred, and fty people wrote back. And of that group, he
interviewed 172 alone or with his assistants. Out of that came a book that puts you at the heart of the
greatest invasion of all time. You are there as the invasion forces rst gain the beaches and the Germans,
taken by surprise, fight back furiously.
Ryan died at just 54 from prostate cancer. On his gravestone in Connecticut is his name and one word:
“Reporter.” No one has earned that title more. He deserves to be remembered. 
Adapted from https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/cornelius-ryan-irish-dday-reporter.
In the sentence “...whose massive ‘I was there’ coverage of D-Day…” (paragraph 1), the word whose refers to
A literary journalism.

recognise that they are internal voices and cultivate a strategy to counteract them.

Of course, while it might be enjoying a renewed popularity at the moment, the game of chess dates back

Chinese Woman Opens Plane’s Emergency Exit for Some Fresh Air
A ight was delayed for an hour and a woman detained by police after she opened the emergency exit for “a
breath of freshair” before the ight took o in central China’s Hubei province, mainland media reported. The
incident happened on Xiamen Air Flight MF8215 from Wuhan to Lanzhou, which was scheduled to take o at
3.45 p.m. on September 23.
Cabin crew had briefed the woman, who was in her 50s, about the rules when sitting next to the emergency
exit and reminded her not to touch the button that opened the emergency exit. However, the woman said
she needed some fresh air and touched the button to open the exit when the stewardess turned around to
help others, the report said. The woman was taken away and the ight was delayed for an hour. Opening the
emergency exit can be considered to be disturbing public order in an aircraft, which is punishable by police
detention and a fine.
In July last year, a woman who was ying for the rst time mistook the emergency door for a lavatory door
before her plane took o in Nanjing. The emergency slide was released and the ight was delayed for two
hours. The woman was detained for 10 days. Some passengers have paid a heavy price for releasing the
emergency slide, which may take days and considerable expense to repair and reinstall. In January 2015, a
man who opened an emergency door after a plane landed in Chongqing had to pay 35,000 yuan (150,000
baht) in compensation to the airline.
In June, a man from Hubei who was returning to China from Bangkok on a Thai Lion Air Flight opened an
emergency exit before take-o . After apologising repeatedly, according to witnesses, he was held by Thai
by: Torricelli1889
authorities for one day and given a fine of 500 baht before being deported.

Lockdown Named 2020’s Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary
Lockdown, the noun that has come to de ne so many lives across the world in 2020, has been named word
of the year by Collins Dictionary. Lockdown is de ned by Collins as “the imposition of stringent restrictions
on travel, social interaction, and access to public spaces”. The 4.5-billion-word Collins Corpus, which contains
written material from websites, books and newspapers, as well as spoken material from radio, television and
conversations, registered a 6,000% increase in ______(1) usage. In 2019, there were 4,000 recorded
instances of lockdown being used. In 2020, this had risen to more than a quarter of a million.
“Language is a re ection of the world around us and 2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic,” says
Collins language content consultant Helen Newstead. “We have chosen lockdown as _______(2) word of the
year because it encapsulates the shared experience of billions of people who have had to restrict _______(3)
daily lives in order to contain the virus. Lockdown has a ected the way we work, study, shop, and socialise. It
is not a word of the year to celebrate, but it is, perhaps, one that sums up the year for most of the world.”
Other pandemic-related words such as coronavirus, social distancing and key worker were on the dictionary’s
list of the top 10 words. However, the coronavirus crisis didn’t completely dominate this year’s vocabulary:
words like “Megxit,” a term to describe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping back as senior members
of the royal family, also made the shortlist along with “TikToker” (a person who regularly shares or appears in
videos on TikTok), and “BLM.” The abbreviation BLM, for Black Lives Matter is de ned by Collins as “a
movement that campaigns against racially motivated violence and oppression”, it registered a 581% increase
in usage.

Native English speakers are the world’s worst communicators 
 It was just one word in one email, but it caused huge nancial losses for a multinational company. The
message, written in English, was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second
language. Unsure of the word, the recipient found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary. He acted on
the wrong one. 
Months later, senior management investigated why the project had failed, costing hundreds of thousands of
dollars. “It all traced back to this one word,” says Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications skills and
intercultural trainer, who didn’t reveal the tricky word because it is highly industry-speci c and possibly
identifiable. “Things spiralled out of control because both parties were thinking the opposite.” 
When such misunderstandings happen, it’s usually the native speakers who are to blame. Ironically, they are
worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language, according to
Chong. “A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world’s global language. They feel
they don’t have to spend time learning another language.” 
The non-native speakers, it turns out, speak more purposefully and carefully, trying to communicate
e ciently with limited, simple language, typical of someone speaking a second or third language.
Anglophones, on the other hand, often talk too fast for others to follow, and use jokes, slang, abbreviations
and references speci c to their own culture, says Chong. “The native English speaker is the only one who
might not feel the need to adapt to the others,” she adds.

OXFAM AMERICA 
Oxfam stands for the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. It was started in Oxford, England in 1942 in
response to the European famine-related issues resulting from the Second World War. Ten other countries
worldwide, including the United States and Australia, have started chapters of Oxfam. They make up what is
known as Oxfam International. 
Oxfam America is dedicated to creating lasting solutions to hunger, poverty, and social injustice through
long-term partnerships with poor communities around the world. As a privately funded organization, we can
speak with conviction and integrity as we challenge the structural barriers that foster con ict and human
suffering and limit people from gaining the skills, resources, and power to become self-sufficient. 
Oxfam implements various global projects that target areas particularly a ected by hunger. The projects
focus on developing self-su ciency of the communities in which they are based, as opposed to merely
providing relief in the form of food aid. Oxfam’s projects operate on the communal level, and are developed
by evaluating issues causing poverty and hunger in the community and subsequently the possible
infrastructure that could end hunger and foster the attainment of self-su ciency. Examples of projects in
which Oxfam America has been or is involved range from a women’s literacy program in India to providing
microloans and agriculture education programs for small-scale organic farmers in California.

Are any foods safe to eat anymore? The fears and the facts 
 Food was once seen as a source of sustenance and pleasure. Today, the dinner table can instead begin to
feel like a mine eld. Is bacon really a risk factor of cancer? Will co ee or eggs give you a heart attack? Does
wheat contribute to Alzheimer’s disease? Will dairy products clog up your arteries? Worse still, the advice
changes continually. As TV-cook Nigella Lawson recently put it: “You can guarantee that what people think
will be good for you this year, they won’t next year.” 
This may be somewhat inevitable: evidence-based health advice should be constantly updated as new
studies explore the nuances of what we eat and the e ects the meals have on our bodies. But when the
media (and ill-informed health gurus) exaggerate the results of a study without providing the context, it can
lead to unnecessary fears that may, ironically, push you towards less healthy choices. 
The good news is that “next year” you may be pleased to learn that many of your favourite foods are not the
ticking time bomb you have been led to believe...

 Italian children have been told not to turn up to school unless they can prove they have been properly
vaccinated. The deadline follows months of national debate over compulsory vaccination. The new law came
amid a surge in measles cases - but Italian o cials say vaccination rates have improved since it was
introduced. Children must receive a range of mandatory immunisations before attending school. They include
vaccinations for chickenpox, polio, measles, mumps and rubella. 
 Children up to the age of six years will be excluded from nursery and kindergarten without proof of
vaccination under the new rules. Those aged between six and 16 cannot be banned from attending school,
but their parents face fines if they do not complete the mandatory course of immunisations. 
 Italian media report that regional authorities are handling the situation in a number of di erent ways. In
Bologna, the local authority has set letters of suspension to the parents of some 300 children, and a total of
5,000 children do not have their vaccine documentation up to date. In other areas there have been no
reported cases, while still others have been given a grace period of a few days beyond the deadline.

Teaching English in the Brazilian countryside 
 “In Brazil, countryside youth want to learn about new places, new cultures and people. However, they think
their everyday lives are an obstacle to that, because they imagine that country life has nothing to do with
other parts of the world”, says Rafael Fonseca.Rafael teaches English in a language school in a cooperative
coffee cultivation in Paraguaçu. His learners are the children of rural workers. 
Rafael tells us that the objective of the project being developed in the cooperative is to give the young
people more opportunities of growth in the countryside, and that includes the ability to communicate with
international buyers. “In the future, our project may help overcome the lack of succession in countryside
activities because, nowadays, rural workers’ children become lawyers, engineers, teachers, and sometimes
even doctors, but those children very rarely want to have a profession related to rural work”, says Rafael. 
“That happens”, he adds, “because their parents understand that life in the countryside can be hard work and
they do not want to see their children running the same type of life that they have. Their children also believe
that life in the country does not allow them to have contact with other parts of the world, meet other people
and improve cultural bounds. The program intends to show them that by means of a second language they
can travel, communicate with new people and learn about new cultures as a means of promoting and selling
what they produce in the country, and that includes receiving visitors in their workplace from abroad.” 
Rafael’s strategy is to contextualize the English language and keep learners up-to-date with what happens in
the global market. “Integrating relevant topics about countryside living can be transformative in the
classroom. The local regional and cultural aspects are a great source of inspiration and learning not only for
the young, but for us all.”

German explosives experts defused a massive Second World War bomb in the nancial capital of Frankfurt

About 60,000 people were ordered to leave in what was Germany’s biggest evacuation since the war, with
more than 1,000 emergency service workers helping to clear the area around the bomb, which was
discovered on a building site last week. Police set up cordons around the evacuation area, which covered a
radius of just under a mile (1.5km), as residents dragged suitcases with t hem and many families left by
bicycle. 
The re service said the evacuation of two hospitals, including premature babies and patients in intensive
care, had been completed and they were helping about 500 elderly people to leave residences and care
homes. 
More than 2,000 tonnes of live bombs and munitions are found each year in Germany, even under buildings.
In July, a kindergarten was evacuated after teachers discovered an unexploded Second World War bomb on
a shelf among some toys. British and American warplanes pummelled Germany with 1.5 million tonnes of
bombs that killed 600,000 people. Officials estimate that 15% of the bombs failed to explode.

Woman who rescued Nigerian ‘witch-child’ beats Obama and Pope Francis to top list of world’s most
inspiring people
A woman who rescued a two-year-old boy who had been cast out by his own community for being a “witch-
child” has been recognised in an international list of the most inspiring people of the year. Anja Ringgren
Lovén, a Danish care worker who rescued the young Nigerian boy back in February 2016, beat the likes of
Pope Francis, Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama to top the list of 100 inspiring individuals compiled by
German-language OOOM Magazine.
An image of Ms Lovén giving the two-year-old boy (now called Hope) some water was shared around the
world, and served to highlight the work she was doing to help orphan children in Nigeria. Witch accusations is
a growing problem in many African countries, especially in Nigeria, where Anja’s charity African Children’s Aid
Education and Development Foundation cares for other children like Hope.
“When she saw the starving child, she acted like a human being and became an inspiration for millions,” said
Georg Kindel, OOOM’s editor-in-chief, who led the jury that chose the list. Speaking today about the
experience, she said: “He was the size
of a little baby, my whole body froze. I was thinking of my own son when I saw the boy. For me it was clear
at that moment that I would fight with all my strength for him to survive.”

Military operations in megacities 
A linguistic perspective 
The challenge of conducting future military operations within megacities (cities with populations over ten
million) lies in understanding the dynamic and multidimensional complexities of these urban areas. Military
operations in megacities, whether combat-oriented or otherwise, will be similar to those in other urban
environments, but will be complicated by factors unique to the megacity environment.

First and foremost, megacities are largely multilingual. While this can be said of large cities in general, the
scale of multilingualism in megacities magni es its e ects. For instance, in New York City (NYC) – a
metropolitan megacity of over eighteen million people – nine foreign languages are spoken by communities
of one hundred thousand or larger. Language also plays a role in determining one’s identity and the language
community in which one decides to live. For example, the majority of Russian speakers in NYC tend to live in
south Brooklyn and Staten Island, while Chinese speakers tend to cluster in Manhattan and Sunset Park. In
megacities, language, culture, and regional context go hand in hand and often reach beyond ethnic identities. 
In order to fully understand the context of a megacity, we must understand the role of the languages used in
its communities. How _____(1) language communities interact in megacities? What tensions ______(2)

How diversity makes us smarter 
 Decades of research by organizational scientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists and demographers
show that socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual
orientation) are more innovative than homogeneous groups. It means being around people who are di erent
from us makes us more creative, more diligent and more hardworking. 
It seems obvious that a group of people with diverse individual expertise would be better than a
homogeneous group at solving complex, non-routine problems. It is less obvious that social diversity should
work in the same way – yet the science shows that it does. This is not only because people with di erent
backgrounds bring new information. Simply interacting with individuals who are di erent forces group
members to prepare better, to anticipate alternative viewpoints and to expect that reaching consensus will
take effort. 
Diversity of expertise confers bene ts that are obvious – you would notthink of building a new car without
engineers, designers and quality-control experts – but what about social diversity? The same logic applies to
by: Torricelli1889
social diversity. People who are di erent from one another in race, gender and other dimensions bring unique
information and experiences to bear on the task at hand. A male and a female engineer might have
perspectives as different from one another as an engineer and a physicist – and that is a good thing. 
The fact is that if you want to build teams or organizations capable of innovating, you need diversity.
Diversity enhances creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to
better decision making and problem solving. Diversity can improve the bottom line of companies and lead to
discoveries and breakthrough innovations. Even simply being exposed to diversity can change the way you
think.

Would it be wrong to eradicate mosquitoes? 
 The mosquito is the most dangerous animal in the world, carrying diseases that kill one million people a year.
Now the Zika virus, which is carried by mosquitoes, has been linked with thousands of babies born with brain
defects in South America. There are 3,500 known species of mosquitoes, but only the females from just 6%
of species draw blood from humans - to help them develop their eggs. Of these, just half carry parasites that
cause human diseases. 
More than a million people, mostly from poorer nations, die each year from mosquito-borne diseases,
including Malaria, Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever. Some mosquitoes also carry the Zika virus, which was rst
thought to cause only mild fever and rashes. However, scientists are now worried that it can damage babies
in the womb. There’s a constant e ort to educate people to use nets and other tactics to avoid being
bitten. But would it just be simpler to make an entire species of disease-carrying mosquito extinct? 
In Britain, scientists at Oxford University and the biotech rm Oxitec have genetically modi ed (GM) the
males of Aedes aegypti - a mosquito species that carries both the Zika and Dengue viruses. These GM
males carry a gene that stops their o spring from developing properly. This second generation of
mosquitoes then die before they can reproduce and become carriers of disease themselves. 
by: Torricelli1889
So are there any downsides to removing mosquitoes? Mosquitoes, which mostly feed on plant nectar, are
important pollinators. They are also a food source for birds and bats while their young - as larvae - are
consumed by sh and frogs. This could have an e ect further ahead in the food chain. Mosquitoes also have
limited the destructive impact of humanity on nature. Mosquitoes make tropical rainforests, for humans,
virtually uninhabitable. Rainforests are home to a large share of our total plant and animal species, and nothing
has done more to delay man-made destruction over the past 10,000 years than the mosquito.

Operation Desert Storm Was Not Won By Smart Weaponry Alone 
 Technology has long been a deciding factor on the battle eld, from powerful artillery to new weaponry to
innovations in the seas and the skies. Twenty- ve years ago, it was no di erent, as the United States and its
allies proved overwhelmingly successful in the Persian Gulf War. A coalition of U.S. Army Apache attack
helicopters, cruise missiles from naval vessels, and Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk “stealth ghters” soundly broke
through Saddam Hussein’s army defenses in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm, which became known as
the “100-hour war”. 
But for all the possibilities that this “Computer War” o ered, Operation Desert Storm was not won by smart
weaponry, alone. Despite the “science ction”-like technology deployed, 90 percent of the pieces of
ammunition used in Desert Storm were actually “dumb weapons”. The bombs, which weren’t guided by lasers
or satellites, were lucky to get within half a kilometer of their targets after they were dumped from planes.
While dumb bombs might not have been exciting enough to make the headlines during the attack, they were
cheaper to produce and could be counted on to work. But frequency of use doesn’t change why history will
remember Desert Storm for its smart weapons, rather than its dumb ones.

This migrant crisis is different from all others 
by: Torricelli1889
 2015 was unquestionably the year of the migrant. The news was dominated for months by pictures of vast
crowds shu ing through the borders of yet another European country, being treated with brutality in some
places and given a reluctant welcome in others. 
When researching a report for radio and television about the migrant phenomenon, it is possible to realize
that there was nothing new about it. For many years, waves of displaced and frightened people have broken
over Europe again and again and the images have been strikingly similar each time. 
In 1945, __________ (1) the ethnic Germans, forced out of their homes in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia
and obliged to seek shelter in a shattered and divided Germany. More recently, we can see oods of
Albanian refugees escaping from the ethnic cleansing of the Serbian forces in Kosovo in 1998 and 1999. 
Yet there is one major di erence between these waves of migrants in the past and the one we saw in 2015.
Professor Alex Betts, director of the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University says that it was the rst
time Europe faced people coming in from the outside in large numbers as refugees. He explains: “The fact
that many are Muslims is perceived as challenging Europe’s identity.” European societies are changing very
fast, indeed, as a result of immigration. In London, for instance, more than 300 languages are now spoken,
according to a recent academic study. The in ux of migrants reinforces people’s sense that their identity is
under threat. 
But how can the world deal conclusively with the problem? The former UN under-secretary-general for
humanitarian a airs, Sir John Holmes, blames global governance. “Other powers are rising,” he says - Syria is
an example of this. “And the United States doesn’t have the in uence it once did, so the problem’s not being
xed, no-one’s waving the big stick and we’re having to pick up the pieces.” We have endured an entire
century of exile and homelessness and the cause is always the same - con ict and bad government. Unless
these are dealt with, the flow of migrants will never be stopped.

We’re so well educated – but we’re useless 
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most
educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life
skills. 
Looking back on my rst weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a
couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen
counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now nally
acquired all the domestic skills Imissed out in my modern education. 
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural
talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of
basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but
when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or xing a hole in their
on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor. 
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow our own crops,
build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create
anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption. 
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class that isn’t able to
“make” anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital
aspects of “domestic science” education. Instead of only maths, language and history, we should create an
interactive learning environment in schools where craftsmanship and problem-solving are valued as highly as
the ability to absorb and regurgitate information. We need to develop children into people that not only think
for themselves, but are also able to act for themselves.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment 
The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces (OFF) Sept. 13,
2014, at Camp Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what military members endure from
basic training to technical school to a mock deployment, ending with a homecoming party. 
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly experienced by
young family members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas Cox, 460th FSS youth program
chief. “Everything from basic training, tech schools, camp activities and accomplishing their mission as a
team made the event a one of a kind opportunity for military kids.” 
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading o to “Basic Military Training.” The training
consisted of doing push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through an in atable castle.
They were also taught how to stand at attention, salute and do an about-face. 
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a speci c Air Force Specialty
Code to help them in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving self-aid and buddy care
skills while others learned about the importance of radio communications while on a deployment. 
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their deployment, the
children encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon ght and injured allies who needed help
along the way. 
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade signs
welcoming the “troops” back home. 
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force Management
technician. “It’s a way for kids to get a hands-on understanding of what their parents do when they are
separated from them during deployments.”

Brazil’s Rolezinhos – The Kids Are All Right 
Shopping Metrô Itaquera, a gleaming mall amid the favelas (shantytowns) of eastern São Paulo, gained
notoriety on January 11th, when the police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse a crowd of 3,000
youths. The youngsters were participating in a rolezinho, a gathering of tens, hundreds, and sometimes
thousands of youngsters which is convened via social networks. 
Mall owners and shopkeepers have reasons to be cautious. A few rolezinhos have led to muggings and
robberies. But most do not end in Itaquera-like chaos: the word’s true meaning is closer to “little outing”. And
theories that rolezeiros are class warriors or favela dwellers tired of the country’s veiled racism are not
correct. “Their battle cry is not ‘Less oppression!’” says Renato Barreiros, who has directed a documentary
about them. “It’s ‘More Adidas!’” 
The point of a rolezinho is “to hang out, chill, buy nice things, meet people”, explains Vinicius Andrade, a 17-
year-old from Capão Redondo, a favela in western São Paulo. He has taken part in 18 big rolezinhos and
helped organise a few, drawing some of his 89,000 Facebook followers. His 15-year-old girlfriend, Yasmin
Oliveira, a rolezeiro sweetheart with 94,000 fans of her own on the social network, says that shopping
centres make good meeting places because they are safe – an important consideration in a crime-ridden
city. There are few other public venues for kids, especially in poorer neighbourhoods. 
As well as air conditioning, shopping centres also confer something no open-air space can: status. Rolezeiros
enjoy walking around in a branded T-shirt and bermudas, with a pair of 400- reais ($170) shades perched on a
baseball cap. Vinicius confesses to spending 800-1,000 reais a month on clothes and accessories, most of
what he makes as a helper at a local Adventist church. Just 8% of Itaquera shoppers enjoy a monthly income
in excess of 2,780 reais. Some rolezeiros support their ashy lifestyle by reselling outmoded attire to poorer
neighbours. 
Shopkeepers in the local malls have mixed feelings about the gatherings. On the one hand, the youngsters
make ideal clients: they often pay cash and can spend 2,000-3,000 reais in one go. On the other, larger
groups can scare away customers.

Japan WW2 Soldier Who Refused to Surrender Dies 
A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended and spent 29 years in the jungle
has died aged 91 in Tokyo. Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines,
until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended. He was nally persuaded to emerge after his
ageing former commanding o cer was own in to see him. Onoda was greeted as a hero on his return to
Japan. 
The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three decades. “I became
an o cer and I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel shame. I am very competitive”, he
said. Three other soldiers were with him at the end of the war. One emerged from the jungle in 1950 and the
other two died. 
Mr Onoda ignored several attempts to get him to surrender. He later said that he dismissed
