News Thousands of multi-coloured Easter eggs wash up on German beach after storm 'This isn’t funny anymore - it’s damaging for the environment and highly dangerous for animals', warns local mayor
Thousands of coloured Easter eggs containing small toys have washed up on the shore of a German island, after they were washed off a cargo ship during a storm. The small plastic capsules reportedly came to the island of Langeoog in the North Sea on five freight containers, as a ship belonging to Danish firm Reederei Maersk struggled through the heavy winds of Storm Axel. The ship was travelling between China and Bremen when bad weather struck. The eggs contained toys with Russian messages, with tourists and children on Langeoog quickly joining a game to collect up the capsules. The local mayor, Uwe Garrels, 6
meanwhile pointed out that many plastic bags and other items of rubbish had washed up on the beach alongside the eggs. “This isn’t funny anymore - it’s damaging for the environment and highly dangerous for animals,” he said. A large crowd from the island later congregated on the beach to help with the clean-up effort, with local photographer Daniela Skrzypczak writing on Twitter: “Many hands make light work and nature says thank you.” Storm Axel contributed to the worst flooding on Germany’s north-east coast for a decade, causing major damage to services in towns along the Baltic sea.
Canada’s New National Bird? Will the gray jay be Canada’s new national bird? The Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) thinks the gray jay should be named the national bird of Canada. It is hoping the federal government will make it official in time for the country’s 150th birthday in 2017. The RCGS and Canadian Geographic magazine started the National Bird Project in January 2015. The goal was to choose one bird from the 450 species that live in Canada to become a national symbol. Nearly 50,000 Canadians voted for the bird they thought best represented Canada. Then a panel of experts considered the top five choices and debated which one should become our national bird. The winner was announced by the RCGS on November 16. There are many good reasons for
choosing the gray jay. It is found in all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, living in our boreal and mountain forests, and it remains in Canada all year round. According to First Nations folklore, gray jays sometimes help lost hunters find their way home by singing and flying from tree to tree. The birds often accompanied early European explorers in
Canada. Today they frequently visit remote lumber camps or research stations, and follow hikers along trails in the forest. Some people think the gray jay is a bad choice because it isn’t well known. They say one of the other top birds should have been chosen. Three of those birds – the snowy owl, the common loon and the chickadee – are already provincial birds. The fourth bird, the Canada goose, is not popular in much of North America and Europe because its poop makes a mess wherever it goes. The gray jay is a smart and friendly bird. It is a member of the corvid family, like ravens and crows, and is about the same size as a robin or blue jay. It is sometimes called the whiskey jack (from its Cree name, Wisakedjak) or the Canada jay.
The Robin Hood Restaurant
At a restaurant in Madrid, Spain, regular paying customers come for breakfast and lunch. In the evening, the restaurant is reserved exclusively for the homeless. The money that’s made from the meals paid for earlier in the day … is used to provide free dinners for homeless people later that night. The restaurant seats 50 people and there are two seatings for dinner
(one earlier and one later), so each night the restaurant feeds 100 homeless people. It’s called the Robin Hood restaurant after the storybook character Robin Hood who steals from the rich to give to the poor. There’s no stealing going on here but it does embody the idea of people who have means sharing with those who are less fortunate.
And the Robin Hood restaurant is about a lot more than just providing food. In addition to a warm and hearty meal for the homeless that’s the same quality as a paying diner would receive, it’s a rare opportunity for a homeless person to eat with dignity — being served by a waiter or waitress at a table with a nice tablecloth, cutlery, and glasses … and eating comfortably and in the company of others. The restaurant opened in the last month or so and the hope is to open more of them around Spain. It’s an initiative of Spain’s Messengers of Peace and its 79year old leader known as Father Angel. Angel, indeed.

You can buy a box of Crayola® crayons in 152 colors today, but way back in 1903, they only came in eight colors. And that first-ever box of Crayola® brand crayons was a huge improvement over the first crayons ever sold, which only came in black. Wax crayons were mostly used for industrial purposes until cousins Edwin Binney and Harold Smith introduced their brightly colored crayons for kids. Edwin’s wife, Alice, made up the name Crayola® by combining “craie” (French for chalk) with “oleaginous” (which means oily). In other words, oily chalk! It’s hard to understand just how different modern crayons are from their ancestors without a look at the history of the crayon. In 1864 Edwin’s dad, Joseph Binney, started the Peekskill Chemical Works in upstate New York. The firm made charcoal and lamp black, a black pigment made from the soot left over when oil is burnt. When the two cousins took over in 1885, they started making new things, like a red pigment for barn paints and a carbon black that made rubber tires stronger. They made a number of industrial products, but from 1900 to 1902, they started making pencils and dustless chalk for school blackboards. Colored crayons were a natural next step. But the original pigments they had used were not safe for kids, so they developed crayons that would be safe if swallowed. The first box they sold — the one with eight colors — cost just one nickel. Over the years, as the company has grown, it has introduced more than 400 different colors. You can find metallic crayons, crayons with glitter in them, crayons that smell like flavors, crayons that wash out of clothes, and even eggshaped crayons. Nowadays, plenty of other companies make colored crayons for children too.

The Kitten Read the story below and decide why Rosie might have done what she did. Write your answer in the space provided.
Rosie wanted a kitten more than anything in the world. For months, she had dreamed of the day that she and her parents would go to the pound and adopt her brand new pet. But Rosie’s mother insisted they wait until Rosie’s birthday, which was still two months away. Rosie thought of kittens all day. She hoped hers would have blue eyes, fluffy fur, and a happy purr that Rosie would feel through her shirt when the kitten curled up on her chest. Walking home from school one day, she passed a neighbor’s house and noticed a big cardboard box on the porch. Curious, she ventured closer and saw her neighbor, Mrs. Spencer, lifting a fluffy kitten from the box! The words “Free Kittens” were written across the side of the box in big, black letters. Mrs. Spencer saw Rosie eyeing the box and waved to her to come closer. “Your name is Rosie, isn’t it? You live down the block.” Rosie nodded and held her arms out for the kitten Mrs. Spencer was handing her to hold. It had blue eyes and its fur was as soft as Rosie had dreamed it would be. “Would you like to adopt that kitten?” asked Mrs. Spencer, smiling kindly. Before she knew what she was saying, Rosie blurted out, “Yes!” “Is it alright with your parents?” “It’s fine. We’ve been planning to get a kitten for months.” Though it wasn’t the whole truth, Rosie couldn’t help herself. She let Mrs. Spencer put the kitten into a little box, hand her a can of food, and send her on her way. 14
Why didn’t Rosie tell the truth?

You will land at San Francisco International Airport, 13 miles from downtown SF.
The city enjoys warm summers and mild, dry winters so any time of year is good to visit San Francisco. Having said that, experts say that the likelihood of another major earthquake in SF in the next 30 years is 75%! The Golden Gate Bridge is San Francisco’s most famous landmark. It was once called ‘the bridge that couldn’t be built’ but today is one of the seven wonders of the modern world. It opened in 1937 and spans 1.7 miles. 16
Golden Gate Park is one of the largest urban parks in the world, stretching for 3 miles. It is home to two major museums, wonderful gardens and facilities for more than 20 sports so it is well worth a visit!

Rabbits are small mammals found in many parts of the world, although more than half of the population lives in North America.
A male rabbit is called a buck, the female is a doe and a young rabbit is a kitten or kit (although it is more often referred to as a bunny).
A group of rabbits is called a colony or nest.
20
There are over 150 recognised rabbit breeds.
They live in woods, meadows, grasslands, wetlands and deserts (and gardens!) In the wild, female rabbits can deliver 8 litters of young every year. The largest litter ever recorded consisted of 24 kits!
Most species live underground in burrows. A group of burrows is called a warren.
Rabbits are herbivores. They feed on grass and leafy weeds.
They can jump up to 1 meter high and 3 meters long and can run up to 40 miles per hour!
Rabbits have 28 teeth – and they never stop growing! When rabbits are happy, they run and jump, twist their body and flick their feet. This expression of joy is called ‘binky’.
A rabbit has long ears, ideal for detecting predators. They also have large, powerful hind legs.
Their strong nails are used for digging. They also use their nails (and their teeth) for defence.
21
Rabbits stand upright on their hind legs to help them look for predators. They alert other rabbits of danger by thumping their hind legs.
A rabbit’s fur is usually long and soft and either grey or brown.
Rabbits are becoming increasingly popular as a domestic pet and are now the 3rd most popular fury pet in the UK after dogs and cats.
Rabbits have an excellent sense of smell.
Their main predators are foxes, badgers and snakes. Birds of prey are also fond of rabbits, particularly falcons, kestrels and sparrow hawks.
The rabbit is one of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. It represents kindness, compassion, graciousness and elegance.

They can see almost 360 degrees but have a blind spot at the bridge of their nose.
The world’s largest rabbit is called ‘Darius’ and weighs over 50 pounds! He lives with his owner, Annette Edwards, in the UK.
Traditionally, a rabbit’s foot is a symbol of good luck.
Unfortunately, rabbits are viewed as pests by some farmers and are often shot or caught in snares.
Some people hunt rabbits for their meat. They are also farmed for their fur.
There are many famous fictional rabbits including Bugs Bunny and Jessica Rabbit. Rabbits also feature in the novel and movie Watership Down as well as Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit series.

Valerie Hunter Gordon was born on 7th December 1921 in the UK. She was the granddaughter of the inventor Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti, founder of the British electrical engineering firm, Ferranti.
Her great-grandfather was the Italian classical composer, Marco Aurelio Zani de Ferranti and her grandmother, Juliana Scott, was a concert pianist.
She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart School in Roehampton, London, run by a French teaching order of nuns.
24
In 1940, Valerie married Major Patrick Hunter Gordon, a Scottish soldier. Sadly, he later died in a car accident.
She made a name for herself after the birth of her third child in 1947.
After hours spent washing, drying and ironing the traditional toweling nappy (diaper) she set about inventing a less labour-intensive alternative.
She came up with a biodegradable disposable pad made of cellulose wadding and cotton wool, to be worn inside an adjustable waterproof garment with pressstuds (a PADDI). Initially, she used old military parachutes!
Her invention was extremely popular with other mothers and she began to receive orders from friends. She made the PADDI using her sewing machine at her kitchen table and sold them for 5 shillings each.
25
At this stage, large manufacturers were unable to see the commercial possibilities of her invention.
Now using a newly created material, PVC, she was able to sell her PADDI in Boots, a nationwide chemist and in 1950, displayed her invention at the Mothercraft Exhibition in Westminster.
Valerie applied for a patent in 1948 but this was only granted for the PADDI, not the disposable pad inserts. Still she was unable to attract interest from large manufacturers but on 8th November 1949, after a chance meeting between her father and Sir Robert Robinson, she signed a contract with Robinson & Sons of Chesterfield.

By 1951, she was granted a patent for the US and worldwide.
PADDI sales had reached 6 million by 1969 and the product continued to sell in large numbers until the introduction of Pampers all-in-one nappies. In this new product, the plastic is thrown out together with the wadding. The design was (and still is) highly criticized as unsustainable but its sales escalated making the original PADDI design a thing of the past.
Her design was then featured at the Ideal Home Exhibition in 1952 and the BBC featured the invention as one of the six most interesting products at the show. She had sold 750,000 packs by the end of 1952.
Valerie died on 19 October 2016 at the age of 94 and was survived by 6 children, 19 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
She will be remembered for changing the lives of millions of women by sparing them from the daily drudgery of washing, drying and ironing cloth nappies.

It is sometimes called the ‘strawberry pear’.
It originates from South America and was traditionally grown for royalty and the very rich. 28
The official name for dragon fruit is Pitaya.
It flourishes in hot countries with heavy rainfall. Periods of cold weather will kill the plant.
The best way to eat a dragon fruit is to cut it in half and scoop out the flesh.
When buying dragon fruit, avoid those with wrinkled stems or brown patches – they are probably over ripe.
One single dragon fruit contains around 60 calories.
The fruit is dark red in colour (although some varieties are pink or yellow). Its thin rind is covered in scales – a bit like a cactus - and the center is soft and sweet, dotted with black seeds.
29
It is considered a modern day ‘super fruit’ because it is rich in iron and calcium as well as vitamin C, B1, B2 and B3. It is also high in fiber.
The flowers of a dragon fruit plant only bloom at night and usually only live for one night! They have a beautiful scent.
The flowers rely on nocturnal pollinators for fertilization, such as bats and moths. 30
Some people use dragon fruit as treatment for acne!
Apparently, eating dragon fruit can help to keep you young! Its rich antioxidants help keep the skin tight. The fruit is often used as an ingredient in face masks.
Dragon fruit flowers are often used to flavour tea.
Dragon fruit mixed with honey and cucumber juice is said to soothe sunburned skin.
In Taiwan, doctors urge their diabetic patients to eat dragon fruit to lower their blood sugar levels. Apparently, if you eat too much dragon fruit, it can turn your urine red! This is a harmless condition called pseudohematuria. Imagine that!

Swimming with Sharks: The Daring Discoveries of Eugenie Clark
by Heather Lang Before Eugenie Clark's groundbreaking research, most people thought sharks were vicious, blood-thirsty killers.

Hearing well helps us to learn how to speak, to understand, to communicate with others and to enjoy listening to sounds that we like to hear. It is hard for people who do not have hearing problems to understand what it is like for those people who do have problems.
Hearing loss
lSome people hear like this (normal
hearing). lSome people hear only loud sounds (like when your ears are blocked after you have had a cold) - this is called conductive (say con-duk-tiv) hearing loss. l-ome -e--l- -ear li-e -–i- (can only hear some sounds) - this is called sensory-neural(say sens-or-i-new-ral) hearing loss (a bit like listening to the radio when it isn't tuned in properly).
Some people cannot hear at all because their hearing system is badly damaged or has never worked since they were born. 34
There are different levels of hearing loss.
What can be done?
What can be done depends on the type of hearing loss. lHearing loss can be in one ear or in both. lIt can be for a short time (temporary) or for always (permanent).
Conductive hearing loss This is caused by anything that makes it difficult for the sound waves to get through to the cochlea. There is a problem in the outer ear or middle ear or both. Things like: lwax in the ear canal lsomething stuck in your ear (this is one of the reasons why it is dangerous to give small objects to small children - they might try sticking them in their ears) la hole in the ear drum (this can happen sometimes after a bad ear infection, but it usually heals up) lfluid in the middle ear space llack of air in the middle ear space lthe bones in the ear not working properly. These tiny bones are called the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes). 35
Sensory-neural hearing loss
This is caused by dysfunction (say dis-funk-shun - which means 'not working') of the inner ear or sometimes (not often) the hearing pathways in the brain. This hearing loss is permanent.
Mixed hearing loss
Sometimes a person can have both types of hearing loss (conductive and sensory neural).
Central hearing loss
Sometimes there is a problem with the part of the brain that works out what is being heard. The person may be able to hear but the brain cannot make sense of what it is hearing because it has been damaged in some way (this can happen to older people after they have a stroke).
Hearing aids
Some children can be fitted with a hearing aid. A hearing aids act like an amplifier to make sounds louder to help people understand speech by hearing what is said. But it may also amplify some sounds that the person doesn't want to hear - like some of the sounds in the background. It is important for the hearing aid to fit snugly (really well) into the ear, or the wearer can get 'feedback' (a high whistling noise) just like a microphone. Sometimes a hearing aid may not fit too well because your ears have grown. Some children now have FM systems. The classroom teacher (or speaker) has a special microphone, which sends his voice by radio waves into the hearing aid. This makes it easier for the child to listen and understand, without having to put up with all the other classroom sounds being made louder. Hearing aids may make the sounds louder, but the brain may need extra help to understand what it is hearing. Watching the speaker's lips, facial expressions and gestures can help the brain to get the right messages.
Did you know Ludwig Von Beethoven, one of the greatest composers of all time, started to lose his hearing when he was 26? In the last ten years of his life he composed lots of wonderful music which he never heard being played because his hearing had gone completely. 36
Helping your friend
Here's what you can do to help a friend or someone in your family who has a hearing problem. CLINIC lStand in front of your friend. lMake sure that your friend is looking at you. lDon't cover your lips when you are talking. lStand facing the light so that your face can be seen. lMove away from noisy places (like the air-conditioner). lSpeak clearly. Do not shout or move your lips more than you usually do. lUse simple language. lIf your friend doesn't understand at first, try saying it in a different way. lUse your hands to point or 'draw' in the air to help your friend understand. lWrite it down if your friend cannot understand what you are saying. lBe patient. If there is a lot of noise around it will be more difficult for your friend to hear. If someone wears a hearing aid remember that it makes all the sounds around louder. lCheck that your friend has understood any instructions (like when the teacher tells you what to do next or for homework). It might help her if the teacher or you write things down for her. lLearn how to use 'signing' if your friend uses it. Even simple signs could help your friend, and it would be fun for you to learn too! Baghdad Street – Building 38 same as Boushahri Seema Pharmacy, Opposite Suleiman Al-Luhaib Mosque - Tel : 1888877

Remember that no one has any control over what they can hear, but everyone can choose to listen to some extent. Some people have to work much harder at listening because their ears do not hear very well, or they may have a problem being able to concentrate.

Donald Trump Donald J. Trump was born in Queens, New York, on June 14, 1946. He was the fourth of five children born to Fred and Mary Trump. In the '60s, Trump studied economics at the Wharton School of Finance. After graduation, he took control of his father's real estate company and named it the Trump Organization. Donald Trump married his first wife, Ivanka, in 1977. The couple had three children named Donald, Ivanka, and Eric. All three later joined the Trump Organization. In 1993, Trump married his second wife, Marla Maples, and had a daughter, Tiffany. His third and current wife, Melania, gave birth to his fifth child, Barron, in 2006. Trump's first passion was Manhatttan real estate. As a young businessman, he purchased and developed many larger NYC properties, including the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Tower. After making a name for himself in New York, Trump moved on to other cities and projects, including casinos in Atlantic City (Trump Taj Mahal) and a condominium complex in Seoul, Korea (Trump World). In the early '90s, the Trump Organization experienced serious financial troubles, and several of his companies filed for bankruptcy. Trump rebuilt the organization by changing his business model. Instead of borrowing money, he bagan to sell his name and brand. In 1996, Trump purchased the Miss Universe Organization. In 2004, he began starring in NBC's reality TV show, The Apprentice. On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump announced his plans to run for the US presidency. He chose the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and ran as an antiestablishment Republican. During the campaign, Trump bullied his opponents and flaunted his wealth. He also offended large
38
groups of voters, including Latinos, Muslims, and women. NBC cut its business ties with Trump, but millions of Americans rallied around him and his promises for change. Despite running a largely negative election campaign and having no political experience, Trump achieved his goals. First, he beat 12 Republican candidates in the primaries to become the party's nominee. Then he beat Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, in the general election* and become the president-elect. His win was impressive considering his opponent outspent him on advertising with a margin of 3-1. Trump's business ventures have included everything from hotels and casions to board games and bottled water. His wealth has been estimated anywhere from 150 million to 2.4 billion dollars. Some Americans believe Trump's business experience will allow him to make America great again. Others fear the great country of America is about to suffer a historic setback.
*Note: Though Clinton won the popular vote by nearly three million votes, Trump won the Electoral College vote required to become president. This was the largest loss of the popular vote by any US president in history.

Glaciers How Glaciers Form Glaciers form when snow doesn’t melt away completely during the summer months. Each winter, new snow falls on top of the old snow. The layers of snow gradually change from light, fluffy flakes to hard-packed ice.
Glacier Basics The existence of glaciers is based on two principles. These are known as accumulation and ablation. Accumulation refers to the amount of snowfall in the top layers of the glacier. Ablation refers to the loss of snow and ice, mostly due to melting, in its bottom layers. More accumulation than ablation makes a glacier grow. More ablation makes it shrink. A glacier starts forming when just one snowflake falls. After snowflakes land, they clump with other snowflakes. They form a surface layer with air gaps between the snowflakes.
Snow keeps building up, packing down the buried snow. If it lasts through one melt season, it becomes known as firn. Firn is a grainy material that looks like sugar. More snow falls. The weight of the snow and firn forces out all air, turning the white, airy snow into dense, blue, airless ice. As more snow falls, it puts more pressure on the grains below. The ice field gets thicker and heavier. Once an ice mass is about 66 feet thick, it spreads out under its own weight. Gravity pulls the ice mass down from higher to lower ground. Sometimes the ice moves slowly—only several inches a year. At other times, it moves quickly—over 100 feet a day. However slowly or quickly it moves, once its journey begins, it is known as a glacier. 42
Check It Out! Why does the ice turn blue?
When the ice gets very dense, it absorbs all other colors in the spectrum. But it mostly reflects blue, so that is what we see. When glacier ice is white, it usually has lots of tiny air bubbles in it.
Glaciers can form in just a few years in coastal mountain areas, such as those in Alaska. A lot of snow falls in such places. The story is very different in polar and continental areas, like Antarctica and central Asia. There, it may take more than 1,000 years for glaciers to form. Those regions have the lowest rate of snowfall.
Kinds of Glaciers These big masses of ice come in many shapes and are found all over the world. They may be vast ice sheets that cover an entire continent. They can also be small valley glaciers, or somewhere in between.
43
Kinds of Glaciers
An ice shelf is a large, flat-topped sheet of ice. It’s attached to land on one side but mostly floats in an ocean or lake. They can grow hundreds of miles out into the sea. Ice streams add ice and make them bigger, but they shrink by melting or when chunks break off. That’s called calving (KAHV-ing).
Valley glaciers start out as mountain glaciers, but then they move from the snow-topped mountains down to the valleys below. Usually very long, they look like giant tongues. Sometimes, avalanches roar down their surfaces.
Ice fields are flat or sloping expanses of glacial ice. They cover large areas of land. Often, their surfaces are full of mountain ridges and summits.
Tidewater glaciers are parts of outlet glaciers that enter the sea. Outlet glaciers are fast-moving areas of ice. They are like ice streams, but they’re in ice caps and ice fields.
44
Ice streams are currents of ice that flow in an ice sheet. They usually head for an ocean or ice shelf. Ice streams can be hundreds of miles long. They can be up to 30 miles wide! They move ice from where it builds up as snow down to where it melts or is dumped into the sea as ice shelves or through calving.
Icebergs are big floating masses of ice that have calved (KAHVED) from land-based glaciers into the water. Some are over 100 feet high.
The biggest glaciers, ice sheets are domeshaped bodies of ice that cover an entire land mass or continent. They move relatively slowly. They flow at about seven feet a year. They’re so slow because they’re frozen to the bedrock. Antarctica and Greenland are blanketed in ice sheets, which cover up everything—even whole mountain ranges.
Cirque, or corrie, glaciers are small. They are usually found in valleys or semicircular mountain basins. They are named for the bowl-like holes they occupy, called cirques.
Piedmont glaciers occur when a valley glacier slides out of a high mountain. When it reaches a fairly flat plain, it spreads out like a fan or a lobe.
Nunataks are summits that show through glaciers. They are found on the ice sheets of Antarctica or in other areas completely filled with ice.
Mountain, or alpine, glaciers are small glaciers found in... mountains!
Ice caps are large, dome-shaped mountain glaciers. They are so thick, they can bury a whole mountain. They can cover up many peaks, and may even smother entire mountain ranges.
