Lençóis Maranhenses looks like a desert, but
it's alive with shimmering pools, remote
villages and ancient paths that only local
guides know how to read.
I was at least 20 steps behind my group – and
another 30 behind our guide – when he suddenly
stopped, checked his watch and tilted his face
toward the sky, as if taking cues from the Sun.
"We must be lost," I thought. Smooth, pale slopes
rose and fell in every direction, with glistening
teal pools woven between them. It was a
landscape with no obvious beginning or end.
Then, as if reassured, our guide carried on,
following a trail only he could see.
My three friends and I were a few hours into a
three-day trek across Lençóis Maranhenses
National Park, a humbling expanse of sand in
north-eastern Brazil, and I had already lost all
sense of direction. I walked in silence, listening
to the wind, the rippling water, the sand
crunching beneath my feet.
With each step, I sank a few centimetres, forcing
my foot to work twice as hard. I kept falling
behind, switching from flip-flops to water shoes
and finally bare feet as the sand shifted from soft
powder to a rock-hard surface baking in the heat.
A friend back home had done a similar trek;
"You'll feel bones you never knew existed in
your feet," they'd warned. I was starting to
believe them.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part II)
“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you
have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”
“Seven!” I answered.
“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I
fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell
me that you intended to go into harness.”
“Then, how do you know?”
“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting
yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and
careless servant girl?”
“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much.
You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and
came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes
I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice, but there, again, I
fail to see how you work it out.”
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside
of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is
scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges
of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you
see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather,
and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen
of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks
into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate
of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side
of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope,
I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active
member of the medical profession.”

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part I)
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted
us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the
home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first
finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to
absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form
of society with his whole Bohemian soul, Blank I in our lodgings
in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from
week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of
the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was
still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied
his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation
in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries
which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police.
From time to time I Blank II some vague account of his doings:
of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of
his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers
at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of
Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I
merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little
of my former friend and companion.
One night – it was on the twentieth of March, 1888 – I was
returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned
to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street.
As I Blank III the well-remembered door, which must always
be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark
incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire
to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his
extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even
as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark
silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly,
eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped
behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his
attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.
He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon
the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown
up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad,
I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of
cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner.
Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular
introspective fashion.

Walking 3,000 or more steps a day may slow progression of Alzheimer’s, study says
Even modest amounts of daily exercise may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in older people who are at risk of developing the condition, researchers have said.
People are often encouraged to clock up 10,000 steps a day as part of a healthy routine, but scientists found 3,000 steps or more appeared to delay the brain changes and cognitive decline that Alzheimer’s patients experience.
Results from the 14-year-long study showed cognitive decline was delayed by an average of three years in people who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day, and by seven years in those who managed 5,000 to 7,000 steps daily.
“We’re encouraging older people who are at risk of Alzheimer’s to consider making small changes to their activity levels, to build sustained habits that protect or benefit their brain and cognitive health,” said Dr Wai-Ying Yau, the first author on the study at Mass General Brigham hospital in Boston. Dementia affects an estimated 50 million people worldwide, with Alzheimer’s disease the most common cause.

older people to make small changes,” can be

READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION
Social Dimensions of Climate Change
Extreme weather events are deeply intertwined with global
patterns of inequality. The poorest and most vulnerable people
bear the brunt of climate change impacts yet contribute the least
to the crisis. As the impacts of climate change mount, millions of
vulnerable people face disproportionate challenges in terms of
loss of jobs; physical harm; disease; mental health effects; food
insecurity; access to water; migration and forced displacement;
loss of shelter, assets, and community ties, and other related risks.
Some people are more vulnerable to climate change than others.
For example, workers in sectors such as agriculture, fishing, and
tourism rely on natural resources that are particularly sensitive to
increasingly unpredictable weather and seasonal patterns.
Female-headed households, children, persons with
disabilities, Indigenous Peoples and ethnic minorities, landless
tenants, migrant workers, displaced persons, older people, and
other socially marginalized groups often have fewer financial and
other resources to cope with and recover from shocks which might
threaten their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their families. The
root causes of their vulnerability lie in a combination of their
geographical locations; their financial, socio-economic, cultural,
and social status; and their access to resources, services, and
decision-making power.
The poor are often not just among the most vulnerable to climate
change, but also disproportionately impacted by measures to
address it. These impacts can include increased costs of living, loss
of livelihoods, and limited access to resources and support
systems, which exacerbate existing inequalities and poverty
trends. In the absence of well-designed and citizen-centered
policies, efforts to tackle climate change can have unintended
consequences for the livelihoods of certain groups, including
placing a higher financial burden on poor households […].
While much progress has been made on the science and the types
of policies needed to support a transition to low carbon, climateresilient development, a challenge facing many countries is
engaging citizens who are concerned that they will be unfairly
impacted by climate policies. Citizen-centered programs play a
vital role in ensuring that resources are used efficiently. Engaging
people in shaping climate action is equally critical for achieving
lasting impact. This means ensuring transparency, access to
information, and active citizen engagement on climate risks and
green growth. Such involvement can help build public support to
reduce climate impacts, overcome behavioral and political barriers
to decarbonization, as well as foster both new ideas and a sense of
ownership over solutions.
Moreover, communities bring unique perspectives, skills, and a
wealth of knowledge to the challenge of strengthening resilience
and addressing climate change. They should be engaged as
partners in resilience-building rather than being regarded merely
as beneficiaries. Research and experience show that community
leaders can successfully set priorities, influence ownership, as well
as design and implement investment programs that are responsive
to their community’s own needs. A 2022 report by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes the
value of diverse forms of knowledge — such as scientific,
Indigenous, and local knowledge — in building climate resilience.
Innovations in the architecture of climate finance can connect
communities and marginalized groups to the policy, technical, and
financial assistance that they need for locally relevant and
effective development outcomes.
