When it comes to immigration, it helps if you’re
white

Bureaucracy. It’s a word laden with dark
memories. We’ve all been caught up in it. Each
will have a story of how once they were
enmeshed in a paper-chain farce requiring
merely a dash of common sense. But, as is typical
of such scenarios, it’s usually missing. It would all
be laughable if it weren’t threatening to engulf
you in rage, or worse.
By worse I mean the threat of being deported
from the country in which you have chosen to
make a life. This is where, until this week,
Gregg and Kathryn Brain, found themselves.
Having moved to Scotland in 2011 on Kathryn
Brain’s student visa, the family had hoped
to remain in the country by moving on to a
post-study visa, but the government scrapped
this scheme in 2012, potentially affecting tens of
thousands. Deportation was imminent.
An outpouring of support, not least from
Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and 20
job offers saved the day. Mrs Brain is now
employed by Macdonald Hotels and Resorts
Group as a curator for their Aviemore visitors’
centre.
This is a feel-good immigration story. Lord
knows we need one. And yet it’s hard not to look
at this smiling family, relieved at what has been
salvaged by the goodwill of others, and think of
those we seem unwilling to welcome. No one
wishes misfortune on any family. In fact, I’d like
to think I share in this family’s happiness. They
have overcome a system that otherwise would
have treated them as merely numbers.[…]

Read the following interview to answer question.
Giving Capitalism a Social Conscience
David Bornstein
For more than 40 years, Muhammad Yunus, the Bangladeshi founder of the Grameen Bank and
recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, has been asserting that the most powerful way to eradicate
poverty is to unleash the untapped entrepreneurial
capacity of people everywhere. “Poverty is not
created by poor people,” he says. “It’s created by
the system we built. Poor people are like a bonsai
tree. You take the best seed from the tallest tree in
the forest, but if you put it in a flower pot to grow,
it grows only a meter high. There’s nothing wrong
with the seed. The problem is the size of the pot.
Society doesn’t give poor people the space to grow
as tall as everybody else. This is the crux of the matter.”
Yunus has recently written a new book, “A World of Three Zeros: The New Economics of Zero
Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions,” in which he argues that capitalism is
in crisis and remains moored in a flawed conception of human motivation. He proposes a far more
robust role in the economy for “social businesses,” which he defines as “non-dividend” companies
“dedicated to solving human problems.”
At 77, Yunus shows no signs of slowing down. He reports on an astonishing array of work
he has been involved in — supporting and codeveloping social businesses (often in partnership
with large corporations) in Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, France, Haiti, India, Japan, Uganda and
numerous other countries.
“We need to abandon our unquestioning faith in the power of personal-profit-centered
markets to solve all problems and confess that the problems of inequality are not going to be solved
by the natural working of the economy as it is currently structured,” Yunus writes.
“This is not a comfortable situation for anyone, including those who are on top of the social
heap at any given time. Do the wealthy and powerful … like having to avert their eyes from the
homeless and hungry people they pass on the street? Do they enjoy using the tools of the state
— including its police powers and other forms of coercion — to suppress the inevitable protests
mounted by those on the bottom? Do they really want their own children and grandchildren to
inherit this kind of world?”

Drugs and Democracy in Rio de Janeiro:
Trafficking, Social Networks, and Public Security
INTRODUCTION: Thinking about Social Violence in Brazil
Recently, drug traffickers based in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas have attacked government
buildings, bombed buses, and successfully ordered widespread business closings. Over the past
decade, murder rates have averaged 50 per 100,000, in line with the most violent U.S. cities,
and overall rates may actually be even higher as a result of increasing rates of disappearances.
In poor districts, murder rates can exceed 150 per 100,000 inhabitants. Indeed, riding this wave
of criminal and police violence, human rights abuse has increased in Brazil since its transition to
democracy two decades ago.

The Century Trilogy: An epic of Follett proportions
By Kevin Nance September 7, 2012
Well before blockbuster movies, there were blockbuster novels: big, juicy, page-turning epics, with dozens of characters, exotic settings and multiple plots playing out over several years, often against the backdrop of some extended historical conflict. Tolstoy largely invented the form in 1869 with “War and Peace,” and by the middle of the 20th century, its latter-day stalwarts — including James Jones, Herman Wouk and the tireless fiction factory known as James Michener — bestrode the bestseller lists like the titans they were. In recent years, however, the form has fallen somewhat out of favor with writers, if not with readers. Who wants to spend so much time, day in and day out, with the same set of protagonists? Who wants to do all that research? Who has the nerve, not to mention the patience, to keep all those narrative balls in the air over hundreds of pages?
Ken Follett, actually. At 63, the Welsh author is one of the last Mohicans of the form, having traded his highly successful thrillers (“Eye of the Needle,” “The Key to Rebecca”) for the multigenerational historical saga in 1989’s “The Pillars of the Earth” (adapted as a Starz miniseries in 2010) and its sequel, 2007’s “World Without End,” which premieres as a miniseries on Reelz next month.

Text 2 - How to Tell if Your Sunscreen Protects You From the Sun - Here’s what you need to know.
Don’t go overboard with the SPF. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using an SPF of at
least 30, but most experts agree to not go over 50. It’s not that a higher SPF doesn’t provide any more protection, but
once you get above 50, that increase is negligible. Case in point: SPF 50 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 100
blocks about 99%.
But most sunscreen users don’t think about that; rather, they see a number that’s twice as high and assume
they’ll get twice as much protection or that the protection will last twice as long, which cultivates a false sense of
security that could lead to a bad burn. “SPF values above 50 are really misleading,” Lunder says. “They offer a very
small increase in sunburn [UVB] protection, and they don't offer better UVA protection.” She says that the FDA is
considering a rule to cap SPF values at 50, but nothing has been finalized.
And then there’s the fact that, although the increase in SPF doesn’t add much protection, it could increase your
chances of negative side effects from the ingredients. “We do not recommend SPF of 50 or higher, as the minimal
added protection does not outweigh the exponentially more active ingredients required to do so,” Chris Birchby, the
founder of the sun-care line Coola, tells Teen Vogue. “More active ingredients increase the chances of skin irritation.”

“ Autism affects one in 45 children in the United States, almost twice the rate from a few years ago, said a survey Friday
that uses a new approach to assess the frequency of the developmental disorder. The latest figures may reflect a more
accurate picture of autism spectrum disorder, said the report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
(CDC) National Center for Health Statistics, and so does not necessarily mean that there is a ballooning autism
epidemic.
In fact, the study found that while autism spectrum diagnoses are more frequent than in the past, the overall number of
people affected by neurodevelopment problems has not risen, but has remained steady over time.
Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that may cause a person to have difficulty behaving, learning,
communicating and interacting with people. It is believed to be influenced by genetic and environmental factors, though
scientists do not fully understand all its causes.”
