NO KID-DING Why you should never let your kids take a bag on the plane − even if it's free
(§ 1) A TRAVEL expert has revealed you should never let your kids bring a bag on the plane if you want a stress-free journey.
(§ 2) Experienced flyer, Vanessa Grant recommends parents don't let their kids take a bag with them after sharing her recent experience of travelling with her kids - aged 8 and 11.
(§ 3) "Smart packing is what really saved us," she said.
(§ 4) Vanessa did two long-haul flights with her family from Canada to Indonesia which went smoothly because the kids didn't have bags, she claims.
(§ 5) It is important to "instil a sense of responsibility" in kids however, it is not worth the stress of tracking down a lost backpack __ a busy international airport, according to the travel expert.
(§ 6) Vanessa explained: "The stakes are just too high and even replacing a charging cord can be pricey at a duty-free shop, let alone a whole backpack's worth of stuff."
(§ 7) It is also important to bring the right type of carry-on when travelling with your family, to make your life a lot easier.
(§ 8) A small rolling suitcase is perfect for long-haul flights and "is like the clown car of carry-ons".
(§ 9) Vanessa added: "It fits a change of clothes for three of us, plus toiletries and some snacks."
(§ 10) Instead of storing your carry-on in the overhead bins you should put it __ the seat of your shortest child so they'll be able to rest their feet on it, Vanessa recommends.
(§ 11) This clever hack will stop your child from complaining as it is "uncomfortable to have your legs hanging for hours".
(§ 12) Packing a change of clothes for everyone will ensure you have a smoother journey, according to the experienced flyer.
(§ 13) "Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone," she said.
(§ 14) Vanessa added: "One of my kids lost multiple socks __ the plane and in the hotel.
(§ 15) "Luckily most airlines give passengers a little package including a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear plugs, an eye mask and socks so we had a few extra pairs."
(§ 16) Bringing snacks for your kids can end up saving a lot of money as they likely won't eat all the food offered by airlines, "unless your child is a unicorn".
(§ 17) Vanessa also recommends bringing an empty water bottle you can fill up before getting on the plane.
(§ 18) Most kids on flights are thrilled to get "hours of uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and thescreens on the back of seats in front of them".
(§ 19) However, screens even for kids can get old quickly.
(§ 20) Parents should bring alternative activities for their children.
(§ 21) Vanessa brought a book, notepad and pens which kept them entertained throughout the flight.
(§ 22) Forgetting either your charger or headphones can spoil the whole journey, the travel expert claims.
(§ 23) Parents will need the chargers to make sure their children can stay entertained on the screens.
(§ 24) "We brought headphones for everyone," Vanessa said.
(§ 25) She added: "No one—including you—wants to hear the sound effects from your kid's favourite video game for hours on end."

Americans May Add Five Times More Plastic to the Oceans Than Thought
The United States is using more
plastic than ever, and waste exported for
recycling is often mishandled, according
to a new study.
The United States contribution
to coastal plastic pollution worldwide is
significantly larger than previously
thought, possibly by as much as five
times, according to a study published
Friday. The research, published in Science
Advances, is the sequel to a 2015 paper
by the same authors. Two factors
contributed to the sharp increase:
Americans are using more plastic than
ever and the current study included
pollution generated by United States
exports of plastic waste, while the earlier
one did not.
The United States, which does
not have sufficient infrastructure to
handle its recycling demands at home,
exports about half of its recyclable waste.
Of the total exported, about 88 percent
ends up in countries considered to have
inadequate waste management.
“When you consider how much
of our plastic waste isn’t actually
recyclable because it is low-value,
contaminated or difficult to process, it’s
not surprising that a lot of it ends up
polluting the environment,” said the
study’s lead author, Kara Lavender Law,
research professor of oceanography at
Sea Education Association, in a
statement.
The study estimates that in
2016, the United States contributed
between 1.1 and 2.2 million metric tons of
plastic waste to the oceans through a
combination of littering, dumping and
mismanaged exports. At a minimum,
that’s almost double the total estimated
waste in the team’s previous study. At the
high end, it would be a fivefold increase
over the earlier estimate.
Nicholas Mallos, a senior
director at the Ocean Conservancy and an
author of the study, said the upper
estimate would be equal to a pile of
plastic covering the area of the White
House Lawn and reaching as high as the
Empire State Building.
The ranges are wide partly
because “there’s no real standard for
being able to provide good quality data on
collection and disposal of waste in
general,” said Ted Siegler, a resource
economist at DSM Environmental
Solutions, a consulting firm, and an
author of the study. Mr. Siegler said the
researchers had evaluated waste-disposal
practices in countries around the world
and used their “best professional
judgment” to determine the lowest and
highest amounts of plastic waste likely to
escape into the environment. They settled
on a range of 25 percent to 75 percent.
Tony Walker, an associate
professor at the Dalhousie University
School for Resource and Environmental
Studies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said that
analyzing waste data can amount to a
“data minefield” because there are no
data standards across municipalities.
Moreover, once plastic waste is shipped
overseas, he said, data is often not
recorded at all.
Nonetheless, Dr. Walker, who
was not involved in the study, said it
could offer a more accurate accounting of
plastic pollution than the previous study,
which likely underestimated the United
States’ contribution. “They’ve put their
best estimate, as accurate as they can be
with this data,” he said, and used ranges,
which underscores that the figures are
estimates.
Of the plastics that go into the
United States recycling system, about 9
percent of the country’s total plastic
waste, there is no guarantee that they’ll
be remade into new consumer goods. New
plastic is so inexpensive to manufacture
that only certain expensive, high-grade
plastics are profitable to recycle within the
United States, which is why roughly half
of the country’s plastic waste was shipped
abroad in 2016, the most recent year for
which data is available.
Since 2016, however, the
recycling landscape has changed. China
and many countries in Southeast Asia
have stopped accepting plastic waste
imports. And lower oil prices have further
reduced the market for recycled plastic.
“What the new study really underscores is
we have to get a handle on source
reduction at home,” Mr. Mallos said. “That
starts with eliminating unnecessary and
problematic single-use plastics.”

A 9th grade group was given a handout containing a list of sentences to be observed and analysed as a pair work activity, having the lexicon found in the sentences been already studied, and, if necessary, dictionary checking on word meaning allowed. The teacher conducted class discussion based on the perceptions resulting from the list examination performed. Being the handout as follows, consistent data to ground conclusions is introduced in:
• Summer’s arriving will be happily celebrated in the touristic cities and towns this year.
• People are coming to attend the Rock in Rio shows on the multiple stages of Rock City.
• Beating among opponent sports fans has become an issue during championship playoffs.
• For his disregarding teacher’s instructions during tests, Carl got detention on several occasions.
• The candidates are campaigning all around the country for elections are just around the corner.
• Some boys are beating each other in the school yard and there’s not any adult out there.
• Tourists’ coming to spend summer vacations is surely bound to fill in all hotels and inns.
• Since our bus’s arriving, we should get our luggage together and be ready to get it.
• The candidate hasn`t stayed much with her family because campaigning takes her all over.
• The way that man drives tells us he’s totally disregarding both, human life and traffic laws.
View from the Rio favelas: 'We're often scared to leave the house in case we're hit by a stray bullet'
A year has gone by since the Olympic Games. Only 147 of those 365 days ended without the residents of Complexo do Alemão hearing gunshots. After the promises of hope and the Games’ legacy of peace, 218 days were accompanied by a soundtrack of gunfire.
On 218 days we were afraid we wouldn’t make it home alive; we were scared to leave the house in case we were hit by a stray bullet; on 218 days we were afraid that the walls of our homes might be hit. To pretend that we were not in a war zone, the military police painted their armoured military tanks – popularly called caveirão, or “big skull” – white.
For a long time I’ve wondered about the reason for the conflict and danger in the favelas of Rio, the same places that hold so much shared affection, culture, art and memory.
Since the Olympics, residents of the Complexo do Alemão have been afraid of organising a cultural event in the neighbourhood square, or of people gathering outside because an intense shootout might happen without prior notice, with no chance to find protection. It has been 218 days of fear.
All eyes – and investments – were turned to Brazil when it hosted, over 10 years, three mega sporting events. But the country has failed to keep its promises of peace after the 2007 Pan-American Games, the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.
Before the Olympics, the state was completely absent in the favela. Back then we had no cable car – now we do, but it doesn’t work. We did not have family clinics – now we do, but without medical care. There were no police – now there are, and we live with daily shootings. What have the poorest received as a result of the Games? On television, I see only news of corruption.
Brazil is at war, some say. A war on the poor, justified by drugs. A war that justifies, for many (but not for me) the presence of the Brazilian army in the streets of the city. The beauty of Rio’s natural landscapes contrasts with the conflict of our daily lives, militarised by the government.
We need to talk about the relationship between violence and drugs. Young people from different favelas are now coming together to think about strategies that we hope can feed into public policies on drugs in Brazil. The #Movimentos movement – which runs discussions and seminars for young people – was created because it isn’t possible to deal with the drugs issue without the input of those who live with the consequences of failed policies.
As other countries move towards resolving the issue in a serious way, investing in research and prevention mechanisms in public health services, Brazil invests in more weapons and repression that result in an increase of death and incarceration – particularly among people who are poor, black, young and living in favelas.
But despite all the fear, all the chaos, we continue to conquer the world, occupying the spaces that we have been historically denied. The Coletivo Papo Reto (Straight Talk Collective) has created a calendar that celebrates the good news and achievements of the people who live in Complexo do Alemão. Many people may not understand what it is that motivates us in the midst of this chaos and fear. I don’t know either – but I feel that I must keep going.

O surgimento do pensamento moderno se dá com a mudança de paradigma. Enquanto os medievais
trabalharam a filosofia a partir do teocentrismo, os modernos trabalharam a filosofia a partir do antropocentrismo;
os primeiros, seguindo os gregos, se interessaram pelo ser e sua contemplação, ao passo que os segundos, ao
se voltarem para o homem, se preocuparam com o conhecimento e a questão do método. Assim, nota-se que a
filosofia greco-medieval tinha uma preocupação ontológica, e a filosofia moderna, gnoseológica. Frente ao
