Often the best solutions are the simplest ones. There is little point introducing complex and expensive solutions to salve problems in the developing world where resources and finance are scarce . And the work of Professor David Morley is testimony to this. He started working in the field of chi ld health in Nigeria in the 1950s and he has been researching and developing low-cost teaching aids, diagnostic tools and health equipment ever since. There are few experts alive today whose knowledge and experience in this area is greater and at 80 years old he is still working .

Over the years , he has developed a range of simple low-cost health aids that can be produced local ly and used easi ly by families in the home. His simple innovative medica! kits such as flytraps, water purifiers and asthma inhalers which are made from plastic drink bottles have saved thousands of lives . Such simple solutions to everyday health issues have enabled women to care for and monitor the health of their ch ildren at home without becoming dependent on expensive medica! resources that they cannot afford . The two charities he has set up CTeaching Aids at Low Cost and Child to Ch ild) continue his work by helping to educate and inspire families and health workers around the world.

Professor David Morley still works in the fie ld of chi ld hea lth in Africa .

Ohen the best solutions are the simplest ones . lndeed, there is little or no point in implementing complex solutions when they may well prove to be a drain on local finances in an underdeveloped region where resources are scarce at best. And the work of Professor David Morley is testimony to thi s. He has been research ing and developing low-cost teaching aids, diagnostic tools and health equipment to serve the needs of ch ildren ever since he started working in thi s field in Nigeria in the 1950s. There are few experts alive today with such experience, and at 80 years old he refuses to retire.

Over the years, he has developed a range of low-cost health aids that can be produced local ly. What's ingenious about these aids is that you don 't need a degree in medicine to use them. The dependency on unaffordable medical resources that was once effectively a barrier to basic health ca re for many of Afri ca's impoverished people has been removed, and ord inary families are now empowered to care for their own. His simple innovative medical kits , such as flytraps, water purifiers and asthma inhalers made from plastic drink bottles have saved thousands of lives. And the hope is that what he has pioneered will outlast him .

The UK police force has been undergoing a series of comprehensive reforms since 2000. Despite the w idely-held view that it is al llittle more than a cost-cutting exercise , the government insists that it intends to create a police force which is able to deal with higher levels of crime while bu ilding stronger bonds w ith its communities . Some voices in the liberal press have suggested it is an exercise in giving the police stronger powers but thi s appears to be an unfounded claim. The aim, according toa government spokesperson, is to reduce the fear of crime in some communities, and increase their confidence in the effectiveness of the police force . In build ing positive relat ionships between the police and its communities , the government ai ms to create strong and empowered communities that won't deteriorate into crime and lawlessness.

In 2007 British television faced the biggest challenge to its reputation in its long history. It had to admit that a number of phone-in programmes on the BBC and ITV had misled their viewers. Sorne of these were popular children's programmes and charity events on both TV and radio. Television audiences around the world were shocked.

The scandal concerned the selection of competition winners. In the programmes involved, staff had chosen the winners before the phone lines had closed. That meant that viewers and listeners who called in later had no chance of winning. In sorne cases, TV and radio staff had even faked competition winners.

Executives from the TV and radio channels were repentant and apologized immediately. 'It was very wrong to lie to the public in this way, and the programme producers have acted irresponsibly. We will do everything we can to find out what has gone wrong and to put it right immediately,' said a spokesman.

The BBC called an investigation immediately and cancelled a number of live phone-in programmes, but the damage had already been done. The question now is whether the public will ever be able to trust the media again.

The history of the wheel Can you imagine life without the wheel? No bicycles, no cars, no trains, no buses, no planes. Without wheels, many forms of transport would be impossible. Wheels form an integral part of most machinery as well as countless other devices that we simply take for granted. In fact, the applications of the wheel in modern life and technology are virtually infinite.

Most historians consider the wheel to be one of the most ancient and important inventions. The earliest known wheels were constructed in Mesopotamia and date from about 3500 to 3000 BC. These were used mainly by potters - people who make things like cups and plates out of clay - to turn their creations. Wheeled vehicles are believed to have appeared sometime after the invention of the potter's wheel, and the wheeled cart soon replaced the sledge - a kind of vehicle without wheels - as a means of transportation.

In its simplest form, the wheel was a solid wooden disk mounted on a round axle, secured by wooden pins. Eventually sections were cut out of the disk to reduce the weight, and

:

so long before creating the wheel? Palaeontologists say it is because human populations were extremely small and nomadic during most of this period, and the wheel, which requires an axle and support to be useful, is not as simple a device as it may seem. Making and balancing a wheel requires a skilled expert, and humans simply didn't spend enough time in one place for expertise to emerge.

Amazingly, although the invention of the wheel was a major turning point in our civilisation, we will never know who to thank. Unlike other earlier inventions such as pottery, the wheel is thought to have been the creation of a single, brilliant but unknown inventor.

Cause for alarm? Stealing from shops, or shoplifting, has existed for centuries. Keeping police and the courts busy, shoplifting is one of the most common property crimes in the world. In the mid 20th century, as self-service shops became more common, shoplifting increased considerably. Experts say that shoplifting causes considerable damage to business and customers by forcing shops to increase prices. In 2007, it was reported that shoplifting cost US retail shop owners $25 million a day. Other studies claim that the majority of what is reported as shoplifting is actually either employee theft or fraud.

Befare the advent of closed-circuit television (CCTV), shoplifters were rarely caught. When they were caught, the store would not usually report the theft to the police be cause of the complicated legal procedures involved. Shop owners would commonly fine the offender, tell him or her never to return to the store, and let him or her go. Technological advances, however, have helped increase security. Closed-circuit television cameras are common now in all shops. With this system, customers' movements are

recorded and anybody trying to steal or damage property can be detected. However, retailers trying to reduce theft in this way often have to devote a lot of resources to the job as CCTV requires full-time, human monitoring of the cameras. This means that the shop has to hire someone to sit and stare at the camera all day which is, in itself, expensive. In addition, sorne thieves are so skilful that they are not caught and rarely even detected.

These days, most retail establishments rely on electronic security tags which are attached to products. The tag can only be removed by employees with a special device. If a shoplifter tries to leave the store with a stolen article, the scanners installed at the front of the store will detect it and an alarm sounds.

Curiously, many people who shoplift are actually wealthy. In the last few years, many famous actors and actresses have been arrested for shoplifting, among them the American actress Winona Ryder.

The gender gap in sport Will women ever be able to run as fast as men? Andy Tatem of Oxford University, who has conducted research into the sprinting speed of men and women athletes, believes there is a good chance that they will. But not until 2156!

A mathematical analysis over the past hundred years, shows that women's performance is improving significantly faster than men's. If this trend continuas, the fastest person in the world in 2156 will be a woman athlete able to run the lOO metres in 8.079 seconds. However, the margin of error in the calculation means that this could happen as soon as 2064 or as late as 2788.

In the first women's 100-metre Olympic final in Amsterdam in 1928, the winning time was 12.2 seconds. The men's final was won in 10.8 seconds, so the difference was 1.4 seconds. By 1952, the difference between the women's 100-metre time and the men's was down to 1.1 seconds. And in four of the five Olympics between 1988 and 2000, the difference was less than a second. Tatem's theory was looking good until 2004,

3 Researchers believe t hat athletes of both sexes wi ll eventua lly reach t heir natural limit .

4 Abi Oyepitan agrees with Andy Tatem.


when the gap widened to 1.08 seconds, as female Belarussian, Yuliya Nesterenko, won the Olympic final in 10.93 seconds while American male, Justin Gatlin, won in 9.85. Then, in the 2008 games, the gender gap increased to 1.09 seconds as Jamaican Usain Bolt broke the men's world record with a time of 9.69 seconds. Shelly-Ann Fraser won the women's final, the same year, in 10.78 seconds. Another flaw in Tatem's theory is the fact that women athletes have not been able to beat Florence Griffith-Joyner's world record set in 1988.

Many researchers believe that, at sorne point, neither men nor women athletes will be able to run any faster. Others believe that men will always win because of the size of their bodies, testosterone production and muscle mass.

Abi Oyepitan, Britain's leading sprinter, is sceptical of the Oxford researcher's claims. 'I don't believe women will ever run faster than men', she stated. 'I don't think it 's physically possible. There's now a second between men and women in the 100 metres, and that will always be the case. But if it happens in the next 50 years, I'll remember this conversation'.

Cosmic conspiracies Since ancient times, people have seen unexplained lights or objects in the sky. We now cal! these Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs. The first, widely publicized, sighting of one of these in recent times was in Roswell, USA.

The name of Roswell, New Mexico has now become synonymous with UFOs in popular culture. On July 7, 1947, alien-looking materials were recovered there. There is much debate about what actually happened and the evidence itself is widely disputed. However, according to conspiracy theorists, a crashed, alíen spacecraft and bodies were recovered. Further, the US military attempted to cover-up this 'evidence'. The military claim, in contrast, that what was actually recovered was debris from a secret, experimental, high-altitude surveillance balloon. Whatever the truth of the Roswell incident, it ranks as one of the most publicized and controversia! ever.

Many thousands of similar observations have since been reported worldwide, including recent sightings in the skies above London. However, sceptics claim that there are many rational explanations for UFO reports. These range from human

activity, such as satellites or aircraft, to natural phenomena like peculiar clouds, meteors or stars. Critics go further and point out that many people these days like to attract public attention by engaging in hoaxes or may, simply, be experiencing druginduced delusions.

Though no scientifically valid evidence supports belief in UFOs, this does not, of course, exclude the possibility that extraterrestrial civilizations actually exist. In fact , many scientists agree that it is possible - sorne say even probable -that sorne kind of extraterrestriallife is 'out there'. The issue with UFOs is simply a lack of hard evidence.

In 2008, secret files on UFO sightings in the UK were made available for the first time by the British National Archives. Dr David Clarke, who is a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, "I doubt the disclosure of these files will convince those who believe there is an official cover-up. Inevitably, sorne have already dismissed this release as a whitewash. For them the 'truth' still remains out there, hidden no doubt in more top secret files concealed somewhere else."

The benefits of a good night's sleep

We all know that a good night 's sleep helps learning. Parents say so, teachers say so, doctors say so. But is there an explanation for this or is it an excuse that adults use to send teenagers to bed early?

Until recently, sleep was considered to be just a period of time when a person was not awake. However, as a result of studies conducted over the past 30 years, we now know more about what goes on when we sleep and the different stages of sleep. Scientists have discovered, for example, that our brain remains active while we sleep and that it performs a variety of tasks. For instance, certain stages of sleep help us feel well rested and energetic the following day, and other stages help us learn more effectively or even create memories.

In the last few years, sleep researchers have focussed intently on the relationship between sleep and memory. They have

2 Before an exam, we remember things more easi ly if we stay awake all night.

3 The more we sleep, the fewer things we remember.

4 What we eat has an influence on the effectiveness of our learning.


discovered that the brain consolidates and practises what it learned during the day after we go to sleep, so learning continues while a person is sleeping. That means that people who are taught mentally challenging tasks do them better after a good night 's sleep. Research also suggests that sleep is needed for creative problem solving. This is true in human beings of al! ages. It means that sleeping after a lesson is learned is as important as resting well befare a test or an exam, something that very few people do. What is much more common is to stay awake all night studying. We think that one last minute of revision is going to help us perform better. Big mistake! Tests done with students at Harvard University Medica! School have shown that learning a new task and remembering information of any kind will be facilitated and improved by adequate sleep.

However, there are other factors that contribute to learning well, such as a healthy diet or low stress levels. So, if we want to improve our academic performance , maybe we should have another look at what we eat and drink and the things we do.

Border security As a response to the September ll, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre buildings and the Pentagon, the United States began increasing security measures for all foreign visitors, including Western Europeans. Transatlantic travellers soon found they had to pass through tighter security on their arrival at US airports and recently the levels of security have increased again. Prior to the tightening of security measures, Britons and sorne other travellers had not needed a visa to enter the USA (unless they were staying more than 90 days).

r==============================, :: Stories about celebrities are guaranteed to keep magazine circulation figures rising and editors are wel l aware of this fact. Britney Spears is an example of a celebrity the media love and who people are extremely keen to read about. And unfortunately, this means that she can't go about her daily business without lots of tabloid journalists and photographers fo llowing her every m ove.

Some say that the .constant attention of the media has contributed to Britney's well-publicized personal problems. lf you open any of the cheaper magazines or tab loid newspapers, you'll see plenty of articles about her, many of which contain false information and cruel, unflattering photos. In the current market a photo of Britney can sell for as muchas $100,000 so it's not surprising that the paparazzi wil l stop at nothing to get a shot of the star. So, shou ld we ask ourselves when does journalism become harassment?

Fol lowing the death of Princess Diana in 1997, celebrities felt that they could complain about unfair treatment from the media. Yet, today's newspapers continue to mislead the public as well as invade the privacy of and ruin the lives of certain ce lebrities . Should the government interven e to limit the powers of the press? Some say yes, but others are against the idea as it would compromise free speech. The matter is made more complicated by the fact that there is now a new breed of celebrities who have risen to fa me via reality shows like Big Brother. Many of these people actua lly like media attention and go to extremes in order to attract it. Perhaps we have to ask ourselves the question, 'Can we have democracy without freedom of the press?'

The music industry is going through so me of the biggest changes it has encountered since cassettes were made obsolete by CDs in the

90s. However successful an artist or band may be today, they have to face the fact that record sales have sharply decreased and are no longer what they used to be.The rise of the ' iTunes TM generation ', that down loads songs cheap ly (and in some cases, illegally) and builds music libraries rather than buying costly CDs, is significantly changing the way the music industry operates.

lt has been predicted that music sales wil l make up only 30% of a record labe l's overall income by 20 1 O, so both bands and record labels have had to adapt fast to the changing market and have rea lized that profits have to be found elsewhere: namely in live performances and the sale of merchandise such as T-sh irts and other memorabilia. As the record-buying public grows weary oftheir'anytime anywhere' access to recorded music, record labels have started promoting the value of live performances and it is paying off. Fans may now expect to pay less for the recorded music they download, but they are more than willing to paya high price to hear their favourite bands live.

The future of technology

Predictions about life in the future have often

anticipated the rise of the machine and a world

where most manual jobs are done by robots. In fiction

and film we have predicted hi-tech forms of transport

involving voice-controlled computers, flying cars and

spaceships taking passengers to other planets. While

these inventions remain the subject of science-fiction,

it's undeniable that technological advances have

rapidly changed our world.

N ew communication systems have connected

the economies and cultures of the world ,

causing rapid globalization and creating political and

social improvements in many developing countries.

The digital revolution has made life easier for many of

us and created new forms of leisure and recreation. In

spite of these benefits, there are also some concerns

that the digital age has created systems that

governments and corporations could abuse.

Scientists predict that our future will be shaped

by radio frequency identification (RFID). This is

used already by supermarkets to protect products

that are easy to steal, such as CDs. The packaging

of the product contains a microchip. This sends

a signa! which can be followed by a detector. The

supermarket controls the detector and can use it to

track the product. However, anyone in the area with

the correct detector could al so read the signa!. Not

surprisingly, there are concerns that this system could

be used to collect information about the public in

ways that would infringe our privacy.

'The ways in which we use technology raises serious

ethical questions, ' said one high-profile commentator.

'For example, in some areas of France authorities are

using microchips to monitor the movement of primary

school children. The motivation is protection, of

course, but when does protection become control?

lt's easy to see how this technology could be abused

by governments and authorities in the future.'

1 t is certain that by 2020 a whole range of

technologies will be available to make our lives

easier, more fun and better organized. What isn't so

easy to predict is the degree of personal freedom

and privacy we may have to give up in order to enjoy

these benefits.
