Chris Cantell Discusses Education: Votre vol annulé? Prennez le bus..


Les 275 vols annulés par le Delta, les 318 vols déjoués par les Lignes d'Air américaines, l'autres 570 annulés par l'ARM Corporation et beaucoup plus d'annulations attendues. Ce sont les resultats actuels de l'audit de toute l'industrie ordonné par l'Administration fédérale d'aviation (AFA) mois dernier.L'AFA est une organisation fédérale spécialisée, qui a l'autorité pour examiner si les règles et les directives concernant l'aviation civile sont gardés. Ce mois l'examen se concentre sur les directives de sécurité et comme il semble, il y a quelques problèmes. La cause principale pourquoi des centaines de vols ont été annulées depuis les deux semaines dernières était la question si l'embrayage électrique dans les pares-boues sont fixés correctement. À côté des hauts prix du combustible, il y a une autre issue provoquant la migraine aux officiers de compagnies aériennes. Mais qu'en ferait-il 250,000 américains furieux affectés par les problèmes dans l'industrie de compagnie aérienne (cette semaine seulement) ? Bien, ils sont dans malaise aussi.. La majorité de compagnies aériennes ne garantit pas d'horaires de vol fixés, ainsi si votre vol est annulé, c'est dommage à vous. Et une compensation ? Ça dépend.. Si la raison d'annulation est sous le contrôle de la compagnie aérienne, vous pourriez récupérer votre argent. Ils peuvent vous réserver à nouveau un autre vol disponible et si vous avez de la chance, les compagnies aériennes paieront pour vous le logement, une carte téléphonique ou même quelque chose pour manger. Cela, évidemment, seulement si vous ne vivez pas dans la ville delaquelle vous volez. En plus, certains experts conseillent pour réserver un vol au début du matin, pour que vous ayez plus d'options pour le réserver à nouveau s'il est annulé. Et, finalement, ma conseil : vous devriez plutôt prendre un bus la prochaine fois ..

Chris Cantell Discusses Education: Monkey Business
by Eva Matova

Nie je ziadnou novinkou ze simpanzi su schopne naucit sa rozpoznavat cisla a pismena. Malokto by vsak ocakaval, ze su schopne porazit ludi v testoch kratkodobej pamate. Vedci z Kyotkej Univerzity v Japonsku vyskumom prekvapili mnohych, ked dokazali, ze 5 rocny opiciak dokaze vyuzit svoju pamat lepsie nez vysokoskolsky student!Sesti studenti, ktori sa zucastnili testu , mali za ulohu zapamatat si cisla zobrazene na pocitacovom monitore. Ked cisla z obrazovky zmizli, ocakavalo sa od nich, ze cisla zoradia v spravnom poradi tak, ako ich videli predtym. Nikto by vsak nepovedal, ze simpanz bude mat 80 percent odpovedi spravne, zatial co student iba 40 percent. Vyskum ukazal, ze kratkodoba pamat starych opic nefunguje az tak dobre ako pamat tych mladsich. Pre odbornikov bol tento objav viac nez prekvapujuci. Tetsuro Matsuzawa z Kyotskej Univerzity, clen vyskumneho timu, povedal, ze tento objav " ruca vieru mnohych ludi, vratane vedcov, ze clovek je nadriadeny voci simpanzom vo vsetkych kognitivnych funkciach."Takze namiesto platenia studia pre svoje deti si radsej kupte opicu. Mozno vychovate noveho genia!

Standard qualification is declining
by Claudia Sonea


This year As results made teachers gasp in contempt. The 25.3 per cent of pupils that were awarded A grades reveals a year-on-year improvement. However, the critics sniff and say that it is not due to hard work and quality teaching, but to the decline of standard qualification. Schools minister Jim Knight stated the exact opposite and said that quality teaching and strong investment made everything possible. He added that the system reveals an increased number of people getting good advanced qualifications and that there will be a vital reform in the 14-19 education. As a challenge for the brighter students the A* grade will be introduced and on his list there are new projects, diplomas and a new curriculum. Liberal Democrat schools spokesman Stephen Williams was harsh with the critics and said that it is not appropriate to talk about the exams' difficulty while students are receiving their results; although a debate on this subject will take place. Claiming that prestigious science departments of universities are closing because of the lack of students, the spokesman pointed out that the present situation is harmful for the country's interests. The director of the Joint Council for Qualifications reveals that the results are the evidence of students' hard work and that everyone got the mark they deserved. The Examinations and Assessment chief executive of Ulster, North Ireland, was totally agreeing the directors view. In Wales took place an improvement too. No matter of other opinions, the students did great and they have to celebrate. If the examinations will be changed in the future, it will be great, but that won't minimize the results. A problem should not be how qualified they get inside universities, but what they are doing there.

And then I get knocked down the stairs or set on fire."Cotter spent four years in looking for right space and getting the right insurance, and now he finally fulfilled his dream.Going to classes at the stunt school you'll be offered how to jump from a 40-foot-tall building, be set on fire or get hurled through a glass window.These classes come at a price tag of $800 for a four-day course or $2,800 for the full three-week session."I've been doing this for 30 years, and it's still the most fun you can have with your clothes on," Glenn said. "I get to be the superhero part of the hero."The classes are available to children aged 10 to 17 that can take eight week course to learn skills such as tumbling, trampoline, falls, and bungee pulls."There is a lot of interest in stunt work and it's not only for stunt people; it's also for people who want to do theme park shows and people that just want a challenge for themselves, to fight their fears," said Cotter.
