WHO SAYS ONE BILLION PEOPLE DISABLED
A new report from the World Health Organization
(WHO) says the proportion of disabled people in the
world is rising. It estimates around 15 per cent of the
global population has some form of disability – that’s
one billion people. This figure has increased from 10
per cent in the 1970s. The World Report on
Disability says about one in five of the 15 per cent,
nearly 200 million, suffer from a severe disability.
WHO director-general Dr Margaret Chan warned:
“In the years ahead, disability will be an even greater concern due to ageing populations and
the higher risk of disability in older people as well as the global increase in chronic health
conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental health disorders.”
One of the most worrying conclusions of the report is that the disabled are more likely to
face discrimination in the future. The WHO says the disabled will have greater problems finding
work and accessing healthcare. The report authors say disabled people are three times more
likely to be denied healthcare than other people in developed countries. The WHO’s Tom
Shakespeare said: “The clear message from the report is that there is no country that has got it
right.” Dr Chan said: “Almost every one of us will be permanently or temporarily disabled at
some point in life. We must do more to break the barriers which segregate people with
disabilities, in many cases forcing them to the margins of society.”

IN COURT
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) – Julie Jensen
will essentially testify from the grave when her
husband's murder trial begins this week.
Shortly before her death in 1998, Jensen told
police, a neighbor and her son's teacher that
she suspected her spouse was trying to kill her,
court documents show. She gave a letter to the
neighbor that said that if she died, Mark Jensen
should be the first suspect.
Until recent years, using such evidence in
court was virtually unheard of because of constitutional guarantees that give criminal defendants
the right to confront their accusers. But the Wisconsin Supreme Court created new rules, prompted
by a U.S. Supreme Court decision that laid the groundwork for her accusatory letter and
statements to police to be used as evidence in the trial.
Jury selection begins Thursday; opening statements were scheduled for Monday.

NOT SO HAPPY HOUR
This summer sees the end of the “happy hour” in
Britain. Offers included a flat rate, for example, 10
pounds (about 14.50 euros), paid at the door: all
drinks were free for one hour.
About half of Britain’s 60,000 pubs have banned
the “happy hour” in order to stop binge drinking.
The UK government says the cost of drunken
behaviour, related crime and lost working days
is about £20 billion. 35 per cent of all accident
and emergency attendances are alcohol-related.

GETTING BURNT
We all know the dangers of sunbathing, but many of us
still suffer painful sunburns. How can we relieve the pain?
Here are some natural solutions:
Take a raw potato and cut it in half, the cool surface will
soothe the pain. Another solution is plain yoghurt: just
spread it over the burnt area and relax as the fresh
temperature relieves the pain and the yoghurt’s natural
ingredients help repair the damaged skin.
Or perhaps you’d prefer a cool bath: dissolve half a kilo
of oatmeal in the water and relax for 30 minutes.

FALSE FRIENDS
A DAY AT WORK
In the morning I attended a meeting between management and union
representatives.
The discussion was very comprehensive, covering topics like working hours, days
off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to
compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually, they
decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.
Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the
proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept
workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an
appointment, and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn’t want to discuss the
matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office.
After lunch I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax
legislation and has a graduate degree in Political Science. He said his
government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to
improve college education and build a public library, and establish tougher limits
on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what people expect from the
government.

Skipping School
Kids are increasingly cutting class to travel. A good idea?
While other schoolkids were in the classroom sharpening their adding and subtracting skills, first-grader Jonathan
Dilger was busy surfing down sand dunes on New Zealand's Bay of Islands. No need to alert the truancy cops. Cutting
class was his parents' idea. The Dilgers pulled the six-year-old out of school for three weeks so he could visit his
grandparents. When he returned, he showed his classmates a Maori war canoe replica and gave a presentation.
Skipping school to travel is becoming more common in classrooms around the country. Vacation taken during the
school year can be more economical – airlines, hotels, and theme parks may have lower rates – but that's not the only
reason for the boom. With two parents working and children active in extracurricular activities, the modern family has
trouble scheduling a dinner hour together, let alone a vacation. Complicating matters may be kids in different school
systems, or divorced parents. And more parents are taking their kids on exotic vacations, according to Jim Kackley
of Thompson Family Vacations in Cambridge, MA. "Boomers want to explore with their kids. That may mean stretching
spring break from a week to three."
But what happens when Johnny comes home from Borneo to face a stack of undone school work? “It depends on
the student,” says Sarah Jones, a sixth grader teacher at Washington, DC's Sheridan School. "There are many who
have the self-motivation to make up for it." Jones recently had a student who traveled to Antarctica with her father and
was able to integrate her experience into schoolwork by keeping a journal.
Of course, such unique opportunities tend to be more educational, says Kaye Rhees, principal of Edith Bowen
Laboratory School in Logan, UT. "If students leave to go skiing, that's more difficult to accept than if they leave to
go to Thailand." But no matter how educational the trip may be, says Jones, it's never a good idea if your child is
struggling academically.

IF PUBLIC speaking gives you the willies, the chances are
you'll be just as scared of virtual people, experts have
discovered. But in the long run these "avatars" will help you
overcome your fears.
Mel Slater at University College London, and his colleague
David-Paul Pertaub have developed a VR environment to help
people overcome their phobias. In their virtual seminar room,
people have to give a presentation to eight computer-
generated people who can appear by turns fascinated, bored
stiff or just annoyingly neutral.
While it's not the first time VR has been used to treat
phobias, such as fear of spiders or flying, no one knew if the
technique could also help people to overcome their social
phobias.
To find out, Pertaub watched how people behave in
seminars and programmed the virtual people to do the same
things: crossing their arms, frowning, yawning and putting
their feet on the table. "Our negative audience is very
negative," says Slater. 
Then Slater and Pertaub compared the performances of
43 volunteers who gave a talk either to an attentive audience
or to an unenthusiastic one. Surprisingly, the subjects
responded as if the avatars were real.

THE COMISSAR’S NOT IN TOWN
When Guangzhou resident Ma Yiyong, 57, went to renew his
unemployment certificate last month, something extraordinary
happened: he did so efficiently and discreetly, with a few
keystrokes. “It used to be really troublesome in the past,” says
Ma. “I would have to stand in line several times, and sometimes
the government officials weren’t at their desks. Now it’s fast.”
China’s romance with e-government is now reaching the
grass-roots level, bringing efficiency and convenience to
citizens. But its biggest benefit may be in circumventing one of
the last bastions of communism: the infamous neighborhood
committees. These groups of local party members have for
decades served as the authorities’ eyes and ears. They were
also notorious busybodies, making it their business to know
who was having marital problems, grumbling about the
government or out of work.

overseas property has become much more common. “There
is no doubt that the vacation-home market has recently
increased in popularity,” says Piers Brunner, a managing
director.
People are buying these secondary homes because, well,
they can. More and more countries now allow foreigners to
own property at relatively affordable prices. Elsewhere,
developers now step in to take care of the legalities. And
though experts say that most people still buy real estate within
a four-hour ride of their primary residence, improved travel
routes have opened up new markets, especially in Asia and
Europe. Among the hottest new destinations: Sri Lanka, Spain
and Hungary. Buying a vacation home can also be a good
investment. Henrietta Wheatman earned $50,000 last year
by renting out her Thai villa, more than offsetting the $24,000
it costs annually to maintain and staff the house. All her
vacation homes have appreciated up to 100 percent, and
practically pay for themselves through rentals brought in by
referrals and Web sites.

OLD, STRANGE ALBION
ENGLAND NEVER FINISHES what she starts. She was the first
European country to topple monarchy and have a king
beheaded, but wasn’t until a century later that the republican
revolution that counted took place – in France. England set off
the Industrial Revolution, yet she is the least advanced, in
technological terms, of the industrial countries. Karl Marx wrote
Capital in the British Museum and regarded England as the
epitome of an industrial state heading for social upheaval; the
upheaval took place in Russia. England never underwent a
social revolution: her class structure was impervious to the
Industrial Revolution, to several periods of economic
depression, to twoworld wars, and to the rise and fall of her
empire. The seats of all empires experienced an identity crisis
with the twilight of their imperial domination – not so England.
She just packed and went back home, with nothing learned.
The Beatles’ dream began in Liverpool but flourished in
Woodstock, in the United States, and was over in California.
The English invented soccer but won the World Cup just once,
at home in 1966, and some say that it was with undue help
from a referee.

HOW TO EAT A POEM
Don’t be polite.
Bite in.
Pick it up with your fingers and lick the juice that
may run down your chin.
It is ready and ripe now, whenever you are.
You do not need a knife or fork or spoon
or plate or napkin or tablecloth.
For there is no core
or stem
or rind
or pit
or seed
or skin
to throw away.

UNFOLDING BUD
One is amazed
By a water-lily bud
Unfolding
With each passing day,
Taking on a richer color
And new dimensions.
One is nor amazed,
At a first glance,
By a poem,
Which is as tight-closed as a tiny bud.
Yet one is surprised
To see the poem
Gradually unfolding,
Revealing its rich inner self,
As one reads it
Again
And over again
Naoshi Koriyama – (IME)
