(1º§) Flamenco's trifecta of guitar music, vocals and dance ranks among Spain's most famous art forms. But in the country of its birth, this centuries-old craft that unites elegant physicality and raw human emotion is in danger of extinction.
(2º§) Spain's tablaos - traditional flamenco venues named after the wooden platforms upon which performers spin, sing and strum - were particularly hard-hit by pandemic lockdown restrictions. In tablaos , spectators rub shoulders at tightly spaced tables and performers remain close enough to maintain an electric connection to their audience, one that encourages improvisation and turns flamenco into a nearly collaborative act.
(3º§) The unique environment that fosters flamenco, though, presents serious challenges in the time of Covid-19. Shuttered for extended periods, the majority of Spain's tablaos remain empty.
(4º§) According to Juan Manuel del Rey, president of the Spanish Tablao Association, tablaos employ 95% of the flamenco dancers in Spain. Before the pandemic, the country's 50,000 yearly shows accounted for all but 5% of the world's flamenco performances. Without tablaos, flamenco is losing its stage to the world.
(5º§) Because tablaos don't have a specific license that recognise them as cultural providers, they're unable to receive needed support from the Spanish government, leaving both venues and performers scrambling for survival. A few venues have opened with limited capacity one or two nights a week, but many remain closed or have already closed permanently.
(6º§) It's not just the financial implications jeopardising the future of the form. Tablaos were designed to bring audiences and performers together, and without that connection, many flamenco artists struggle to maintain the fire that fuels flamenco's signature passion.
(7º§) To see deep emotions embodied in music and dance is, for many, the power of flamenco. In an age of global uncertainty, the art form remains as relevant as ever. If it can find a way to survive.

HEALTH CHECK
TAKE THIS CANCER QUIZ TO DETERMINE YOUR RISK OF DEVELOPING DISEASE - AS 1 IN 2 FACE DIAGNOSIS
(1º§) Around one in three cases of the most common cancers could be prevented by eating a healthy diet, keeping to a healthy weight and being more active, according to Macmillan Cancer Support.
(2º§) The following factors are asked about in the quiz.
Smoking
(3º§) At the top of the risk factor list, the WCRF says "not smoking is the best way to protect yourself from cancer".
Weight
(4º§) "Being a healthy weight is one of the most important ways ____ protect yourself against 12 types of cancer," the WCRF says. This includes bowel, kidney, womb and oesophagus cancer.
Exercise
(5º§) There is a reason exercise is encouraged - and not to just look fit.
(6º§) The WCRF says: "Being moderately active for at least 150 minutes or vigorously active for at least 75 minutes a week helps protect against three types of cancer. "Doing 45-60 minutes of moderate activity a day increases the benefit even more."
Fruit and veg
(7º§) You should aim to eat five portions of fruit and five of veg every day. "Fruit and vegetables can protect against cancers of the mouth and throat and digestive tract," WCRF says.
Wholegrains
(8º§) Wholegrain versions of carbohydrates not only help you keep a healthy weight, but have also been shown to reduce the risk of bowel cancer, the WCRF says. Generally it's important to eat a balanced diet as a way to prevent cancer.
Sugary drinks
(9º§) How many sugary drinks do you drink a week? This includes fizzy drinks, sugar-sweetened tea and coffee and squash. "Limiting sugar-sweetened drinks helps to prevent weight gain, which reduces your cancer risk," the WCRF says.
High fat and sugar foods
(10º§) Similarly to sugary drinks, consuming too much junk food will lead to weight gain - and weight gain is an independent cancer risk factor.
(11º§) It doesn't mean you can never have your favourite chocolate bar, cake or crisps. But it's about simple daily swaps. The WCRF suggests swapping a whole chocolate bar for a small piece of chocolate and a piece of fruit, for example.
Red and processed meats
(12º§) A diet abundant in red meat, like beef, lamb and pork, should be avoided. Similarly processed meats, such as bacon, sausages and ham, shouldn't be consumed ____ much. Both are linked to bowel cancer risk.
(13º§) "Limiting your intake [of red meat] to no more than three portions a week (350-500g cooked weight) can protect against bowel cancer," the WCRF says.
Alcohol
(14º§) The best way to avoid this risk would be to stop drinking at all.
(15º§) But if you do like a tipple, stick to the guidelines of no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to around four to five pints of beer or large glasses of wine.
Sun exposure
(16º§) Do you go the extra measure to protect yourself ____ the sun?
(17º§) We're talking suncream used regularly, avoiding the sun between 11am and 3pm, wearing a hat and sunglasses and avoiding sunbeds. "By not using sun beds and protecting yourself from sun exposure, you'll reduce your risk of skin cancers," the WCRF says.

The challenge for policymakers
How can we approach quality assurance based on individual student outcomes along with inputs? Assessing a school is difficult without clear data on individual student growth—online or otherwise—to determine whether a program is actually supporting students to meet their educational goals. This report is not intended to be a treatise on comparing growth models. It is clear, however, that we need measures that show actual student learning outcomes—and we must realize that most states and schools are using a flawed assessment system that doesn't necessarily measure entry and exit knowledge across the entire K-12 curriculum. This situation makes quality assurance a major challenge in the United States.
As well as in any other country, Brazil’s Education System has a policy for teaching standards, which cover foreign language learning. In primary school, for instance, the curriculum is built upon content areas or strands. They are outlined by what kids can or cannot successfully do in English (or even Spanish) and it’s divides between stages. What are these strands?
