RIO FAVELAS CRIME CLAMPDOWN

Brazilian security forces occupied one of the biggest slums in Rio on Sunday. 
The operation was part of a major
clampdown on organised crime ahead of
the 2014 World Cup and the 2016
Olympics.
Authorities in Rio launched a fresh
attack on organised crime by taking over
the Mangueira slum close to the city's
famous Maracana Stadium.
Around 800 police and Special Forces occupied the slum without firing any shots.
The vast majority of residents co-operated fully with the authorities; they want their
community pacified and free of drug dealers.
The police had pre-announced the raid, a strategy that gives criminals the chance to
leave the area rather than being confronted in densely populated areas. Rio's authorities
are making an effort to win the trust of those living in the slums who after decades of abuse
have got used to seeing the police as their enemy.
The Mangueira is the 18th slum in Rio to be reclaimed by the authorities. But there
is still a lot to be done. With hundreds of slums known as "favelas" still in the hands of
organised criminals, drug dealers have vast areas in which to hide and thrive.

Do you ever get angry at people
walking slowly in front of you? If you do,
you might be suffering from Intermittent
Explosive Disorder (IED). A University of
Hawaii professor, Leon James, has studied
people’s emotions as they walk along busy
streets in New York City. He discovered
that many people have “serious problems”
when someone walking at a snail’s pace in
front of them impedes their progress. Dr James, a psychology professor, called the condition
“sidewalk rage”. James is developing a Pedestrian Aggressiveness Syndrome Scale (PASS)
to measure the different levels of sidewalk rage. It measures 15 different behaviors that
indicate sidewalk rage. These include muttering to yourself, bumping into other pedestrians
on purpose, glaring, and walking too closely to other people.
Dr James’ research found that tourists are those most likely to cause IED. They are
the slowest walkers, at an average of 1.16 metres per second. IED sufferers should easily
be able to spot tourists and change course to avoid any chances of getting angry. Next
slowest are smokers, cellphone users, and people with bags. These walk between 1.27 and
1.3 metres per second. The fastest walkers, at 1.4 metres per second, are those who listen
to music. New York resident Jim Redman said he was shocked when he found out about
the research. “That’s me!” he said. “I get sidewalk rage every day. I can’t stand it when
people walk so slow in the city. I have no patience with them,” he added. Mr Redman
confessed that he also showed signs of IED in his home when his children slow down his
journey to the bathroom.

GOODBYE TO TYPEWRITERS
The typewriter, rather than the computer, was responsible
for creating the modern office. But now, the only company
in the world that still makes and sells them says there are
just 500 left, and no more are to be made.
India is well-known for its legions of computer
programmers, but the country also has another face as the
last bastion of the typewriter. Manual typewriters stayed
popular in India long after developed nations had entirely
switched to the keyboard and mouse.
As recently as the 1990s, the Mumbai plant of a company named Godrej and Boyce was
turning out 50,000 typewriters a year. They were popular in a nation where reliable electricity
supplies – essential for computers – are still by no means guaranteed.
But even in India, typewriter sales have slumped in the last ten years. Gradually, every
manufacturer stopped making them, leaving only Godrej's Mumbai plant – and that switched
to making fridges two years ago. And now the firm says it only has 500 typewriters left in stock.
It’s a far cry from the heyday of the 1950s, when India’s then Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru held up the humble typewriter as a symbol of the nation's independence and
industrialisation.
The first commercial typewriters were produced in the United States in the 1860s. The
typewriter was the dominant office technology for more than a century until the computer came
along.
(Mark Gregory)
Computers have largely replaced typewriters today.

DIGITAL NEWSPAPERS ON THEIR WAY
Traditional and digital news media might soon merge
to produce daily newspapers on iPads. This is if the plans
of Apple owner Steve Jobs and newspaper mogul Rupert
Murdoch come to fruition. Industry rumours say the new
newspaper will be called “The Daily”. There might even be
a name to replace newspaper, as the new project will, of
course, be paperless. There will be no print edition or even
a Web edition of this new media. It will download straight
to the iPad or alternative tablet for an unbeatable price of 99 cents a week. Messrs Jobs and
Murdoch may be onto a winning thing here. The Apple boss has the technology to be able to
deliver digital news and Mr Murdoch owns the world’s biggest news corporation. They also both
have the ability to know what people want.
There are reports that Murdoch is particularly interested in the iPad and how popular it is.
He told Fox Business this week that The Daily was his “Number one most exciting project.” He
seems to believe people will prefer to read the news on such a device rather than a traditional
broadsheet newspaper. There are advantages of the tablet over a paper, such as the lack of origami-
style gymnastics required to turn a page on a crowded train, or avoid the corner getting soaked
in milk at the breakfast table. Other more obvious benefits to an iPad include the higher level of
interactivity the user has with the news. Another advantage for Mr Murdoch and his News
Corporation is that he could increase revenues by selling application programs designed specifically
for the iPad.

BILINGUALISM
Residents of the European Union
(EU) are becoming better and better at
languages. Almost 50 percent of the EU
population reckon they can speak at
least one foreign language very well,
with that figure rising to nearly 80
percent for students. To celebrate its
linguistic diversity and bilingual,
trilingual or multilingual capabilities, a
special day is set aside in the EU. September 26 is the European Day of Languages. The
day’s website cites a Slovak proverb that says: “The number of languages you speak is the
number of times you are human”. This aims to encourage all Europeans to brush up on and
advance their language skills. The website predicts that Europe’s young generation “will
fully contribute to enriching Europe’s multilingual society”.
The results of the “Eurobarometer” survey put Luxembourgers at the top of the
language ability list. An amazing 99 percent of the Luxembourgish population is at least
bilingual. Those with the poorest language skills are the Hungarians (29 percent) and British
(30 percent). The survey also shows that English is the most widely spoken foreign
language, used by more than a third of the population. It is followed by German (12
percent), which has for the first time usurped French (11 percent) for the second spot.
European enlargement to incorporate former communist countries has elevated Russian to
fourth place – tied with Spanish. The EU spends $36 million a year on language programs.

DRUG TRAFFICKING GRANNIES
Police in Chile have arrested two women,
aged 72 and 80, after _____________ a stash of
cocaine and cash in their house. It's thought that the
women ____________________ a drug-trafficking ring
in the area for years.
Police raided the house during the night and
found two kilos of cocaine and around 65,000
dollars in cash. They arrested 80-year-old Maria
Valdebenito and 72-year-old Giselle Gilbert and charged them with drug trafficking offences.
Mrs Valdebenito is bedridden. Prosecutors say she received the drugs from her contacts and
passed them to her younger and more agile accomplice to sell. The house that the women used as
their base is just a few metres from Chile's biggest police academy.
Prosecutors say the women should be taken into preventative custody while their case is
considered. But, because of their frail state of health, they might be placed under house arrest instead.

Greenland has been marking a step
towards independence from Denmark, its
ruler for 300 years. Ceremonies have
been taking place to mark the start of self-
rule, approved by voters in a referendum
last year.
Queen Margarethe of Denmark and
the prime minister made the long trip from
Copenhagen to attend the ceremonies in the
capital, Nuuk.
Cannons were fired out to sea after the raising of Greenland's simple red and white
national flag.
Self-rule will mean Greenlanders earn more from the riches lying under their melting ice
fields and surrounding ocean, including oil, gas, minerals and precious stones, but the large
subsidies provided by Denmark are expected to be reduced.
The newly elected Prime Minister, Jakob Kuupik Kleist, said self-rule was an important
achievement for a small community.Greenland, he said, was now accepted as a nation
alongside others. The local government will take on responsibility for policing and justice and
the Inuit Greenlandic becomes the official language, but Denmark keeps control over
defence, foreign and monetary policy.

TALL PEOPLE EARN MORE
Researchers in Australia have found that tall people earn higher wages than their shorter
counterparts. They also found that chubby people earn more than those who are skinny.
The long and short of this Australian report is that tall workers earn significantly more than
their vertically challenged counterparts. A six foot man can expect a windfall of almost $750 a year.
The researchers found there were practical reasons why the size gap translated into a pay
gap. Tall people were sometimes more capable of performing certain physical tasks, like reaching
high shelves. But the discrepancy is explained mainly by discrimination, the simple fact that society
tends to look on tall people as more powerful and smarter, ____________ when they’re not.
The study from the Australian National University also found that slimmer workers tend to
get slimmer pay packets. Fat men earn 5% more than their slender colleagues.

FUVEST
The role of women in Spanish society has changed fast since the country became a democracy after General
Franco died in 1975. He had swept away liberal reforms introduced in the 1930s, when Spain was a republic.
For women specifically, these included a benevolent divorce law and certain property rights. In the 1930s many
women played a big part on the left, often fighting side by side with men in the pro-Republic militias during the 1936-
39 civil war. But after it the new regime, for the most part applauded by the church, put them back in the home as
wives and mothers, with divorce forbidden and working outside frowned on.
Change began in the 1960s when Spain opened up to tourists. Faced with competition from sexually liberated north
Europeans, Spanish women “declared war on them, on men and on their elders”, in the words of Lucia Graves, author
of “A Woman Unknown”, which recounts her life as an Englishwoman married to a Spaniard at the time. That aggressive
self-assertion continues.
Not wholly successfully. At universities, women students now outnumber men. A typical couple has one or two
children these days, a far cry from the days when families of eight or ten were common. But Spanish women still
face the problems of their sisters in northern Europe. Their progress at work is often blocked, their pay often lower
than men’s.
