Cargo ship stuck in river after tide falls
A cargo ship travelling through Cambridgeshire has
become stuck in a river.
The Baltic Arrow is currently in the River Nene, Wisbech,
after the captain reported "grounding" at about 08:49 BST
on Tuesday.
The cargo ship was sailing from Riga, in Latvia, to the
Port of Wisbech with timber in packs.
A port spokesperson said it was a "rare situation" but
because the tide had fallen the plan was to wait "until
[the] vessel is afloat at next high water to free her from
the banks".
The cargo ship was being sailed under the flag of St Kitts
and Nevis to the Port of Wisbech.
Six crew members and two local pilots were on board.
There have been no reported injuries on the 80-metre
(262ft) long vessel and the captain has not reported any
damage.
A spokesperson from Wisbech Port added that a full
investigation will be carried out to find out why it
grounded.
They said: "Since tide has fallen away, plan is to wait
until vessel is afloat at next high water to free her from
banks with additional tug assistance and continue her
pilotage safely into Wisbech Port.
"This is a rare situation to happen at Wisbech. We hope
to have vessel freed this evening and bring her alongside
for discharging as usual."
Grounding can be described as the vessel no longer
being afloat and the hull of the ship touching the river
bed.
On this occasion, it was down to the tide going out whilst
part of the vessel was in contact with the bank, the port
spokesperson said.
They added: "All berths at Wisbech port are NAABSA
berths which stands for 'not always afloat but safely
aground' so technically all vessels ground whilst moored
here during low water.
"The river bed is very soft and sludgy here and the vessel
is designed to safely ground so we are confident of no
ongoing issues."

In foreign language education, the teaching of culture remains a hotly debated issue. What is culture? What is its relation to language? Which and whose culture should be taught? What role should the learners’ culture play in the acquisition of knowledge of the target culture? How can we avoid essentializing cultures and teaching stereotypes? And how can we develop in the learners an intercultural competence that would shortchange neither their own culture nor the target culture, but would make them into cultural mediators in a globalized world? This paper explores these issues from the perspective of the large body of research done in Australia, Europe and the U.S. in the last twenty years. It links the study of culture to the study of discourse (see, e.g., Kramsch 1993, 1998, 2004) and to the concept of translingual and transcultural competence proposed by the Modern Language Association (e.g., Kramsch, 2010).

Sustainability is a big buzzword in modern architecture
– and not just when building the world’s tallest wooden
skyscraper. According to the Green Building Council – an
authority on sustainable buildings and communities in
Australia – the built environment accounts for nearly 40% of
“global energy related carbon emissions,” with materials and
construction alone accounting for 11% of that global total.
But once a recently approved residential high-rise in Perth,
Australia, is erected, there will be no mistaking how central
sustainability was to the project. Why? Because it would stand
as the tallest wooden skyscraper in the world.
Envisioned by an Australian architecture firm, C6 (the
project’s name, which is derived from its location at 6 Charles
Street) aims to incorporate hybridized timber not just for floor
paneling, but as an essential structural element throughout
all of its 50 stories, making up a substantial amount of the
project’s total materials. As a result, the architecture firm
claims that C6 will use “around 45% less concrete than a
traditional building of a similar scale”.
There’s no timeline for the completion of C6 just yet.
But don’t be surprised if this landmark inspires other
sustainable-minded architects to eclipse its benchmark by the
time residents are moving in.

Read the following quote from "The Young American", by
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1844):
"We must have kings, we must have nobles; nature is always providing such in every society: only let us have the real instead of the titular. In every society some are born to rule, and some to advise. The chief is the chief all the world over, only not his cap and plume. It is only this dislike of the pretender which makes men sometimes unjust to the true and finished man".
