Text: Rio de Janeiro
“Rio de Janeiro is Brazil’s heart, its cultural capital and emotional nerve-center (…). It’s wise to remember that the romantic sparking lights that glimmer in the hillsides illuminate the city’s notorious shanty towns. Crime, especially in the tourist-filled Copacabana district, is common. Most visitors are easy targets, if only because they usually lack a tan. Don’t wear expensive watches or jewelry and carry as little cash as possible, especially when going to the beach. (…) The subway system (Metro) is clean, fast and efficient, but only goes as far as Botafogo. It does not extend to Copacabana. Buses are plentiful but are uncomfortable and can be dangerous. (…) Business visitors should not be surprised when meetings start late or executives are informally dressed. This relaxed attitude is counterbalanced by the “carioca’s” quickness and creativity. “Cafezinhos” (literally little coffees), usually highly sugared, and mineral water are staple of nearly every business meeting in this city. In meetings between men and women (and between women), kisses on both cheecks are common. Men shake hands enthusiastically. Cariocas are easy going and slow to take offence. (…)”

Gen Z 1______ up with technology, the internet, and social media, which sometimes causes them to be stereotyped as techaddicted, anti-social, or "social justice warriors." The average Gen Z got their first smart phone just before their twelfth birthday. They communicate primarily through social media and texts, and spend as much time on their phones as older generations do watching television. The majority of Gen Zs prefer streaming services to traditional cable, as well as getting snackable content they can get on their phones and computers.

Causes and Effects of Climate Change
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. lt has become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modem tives. Called greenhouse gases, their leveis are higher now than at any time in the last 800,000 years.
We often call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place. While many people think of global warming and climate change as synonyms, scientists use "climate change" when describing the complex shífts now affecting our planet's weather and climate systems - in part because some areas actually get cooler in the short term.
Climate change encampasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. Ali of those changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, changing the rhythms of climate that ali living things have come to rely on.
What will we do - what can we do - to slow this humancaused warming? How will we cape with the changes we ___ into motion? While we struggle to figure it ali out, the fate of the Earth as we know it - coasts, forests, farms, and snow-capped mountains - hangs in the balance.

Like students throughout California (USA), students in the West Contra Costa Unified school district, in Richmond, have coped with distance learning instituted this year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Today, we are bringing you these students' reflections on their current experiences with distance learning and being out of school - what worked and what didn't. Students' remarks have been edited in some instances for clarity.
Nayeli Mercado, 15, sophomore, Richmond High
Before distance learning, my mental health was never great, but it was controllable. However, once quarantine started, I have felt way more mentally exhausted because I can't go out. Also, l've been really emotional. I get really sad over little things ar angry at things I shouldn't get angry about. I used to complain about school a lot but I kind of miss it now. I miss my friends, teachers, attending class. I miss school in general.
Alizei De Leon, 15, sophomore, Middle College High
I have about the sarne amount of homework, ar maybe a little less in this second year since some teachers are trying to make this easier. Additionally, I don't have to study as much for tests anymore since some teachers have cancelled ·tests for the rest of the year... I spend about three to four hours on homework per day unless l've already finished all my work that week. l'm getting through my classes, but I know that I will forget most of this information throughout the summer.
Ricardo Castillo, 17, senior, Richmond High
At first, when this distance learning started, I thought the work was going to be easier. But then, as time passed, everything just fel! apart. l'm behind in all of my classes and it's nearly impossible to catch up. I can't do the work on my own. I want to learn with my classmates. Distance learning changed a lot of things for me. I wasn't able to spend time with my friends and my last year of high school hasn't been what I expected at all.
Yashika Joshi, 17, senior, Aspire College PrepAcademy
Distance learning has been difficult lt's been hard to manage, teaching yourself through assignments ... I try to do my work when everybody is asleep at night. lf I was at school, I would've learned much more due to a teacher paying more attention. Teachers are assigning work on a daily basis, with 45 minutes to hour-long assignments for each class, all due at the end of the week. The workload has increased a lot. Some teachers have reached out (checked in) but not often.
Dana Reyes, 18, seniar, Middle College High
My classes are all being taught virtually, through email, or through Google Classraom. I have pushed my selfdetermination to the max and l'm experiencing something very strange. I am still receiving the content but now I have to work twice as hard to understand the material. Sometimes, it is discouraging, and I get unmotivated, but I still try my best to finish early even though teachers and staff have been very flexible and understanding with due dates.
Mekayla Saechao, 16, junior, Richmond High
Distance learning for me so far has been difficult but manageable. Most of my classes consist of completing work that is posted on Google Classroom With a Zoom meeting every other week. I don't believe l'm learning as much as I would have in school because l'm not getting a lesson from my teachers every day. My teachers have helped a lot by answering questions about assignments quickly ... To tell you the truth, it is a lot to manage since l'm not physically at school, working with my classmates and teachers. But being at home in my comfort zone has helped me become more organized with my works.
Monishlla Maharaj, 18, senior, Richmond High
Although I have assignments from almast all of my classes every day, almost back-to-back, I always feel like I can do the work whenever I want to... lt's like fighting with my brain daily to do the work ar not to do the wark. As much as I wouldn't want to do online learning, I know it benefits everyone by preventing them from getting sick from the virus.
Sarahi Yupit, 16, sophomore, Richmond High
lt is hard to concentrate at home during distance learning because I don't feel motivated to do the work since there is nabody my age whereas at school, I feel motivated. lt seems like it's easier to do the tasks and stay on task. There are teachers who teach the actual material. They also motivate you to do your best.

I spend about three to four hours on homework per day unless l've already finished all my work that week. l'm getting through my classes, but I know that I will forget most of this information throughout the summer.

At first, when this distance learning started, I thought the work was going to be easier. But then, as time passed, everything just fel! apart. l'm behind in all of my classes and it's nearly impossible to catch up. I can't do the work on my own. I want to learn with my classmates. Distance learning changed a lot of things for me. I wasn't able to spend time with my friends and my last year of high school hasn't been what I expected at all.

Distance learning has been difficult lt's been hard to manage, teaching yourself through assignments ... I try to do my work when everybody is asleep at night. lf I was at school, I would've learned much more due to a teacher paying more attention. Teachers are assigning work on a daily basis, with 45 minutes to hour-long assignments for each class, all due at the end of the week. The workload has increased a lot. Some teachers have reached out (checked in) but not often.

My classes are all being taught virtually, through email, or through Google Classraom. I have pushed my selfdetermination to the max and l'm experiencing something very strange. I am still receiving the content but now I have to work twice as hard to understand the material. Sometimes, it is discouraging, and I get unmotivated, but I still try my best to finish early even though teachers and staff have been very flexible and understanding with due dates.

Distance learning for me so far has been difficult but manageable. Most of my classes consist of completing work that is posted on Google Classroom With a Zoom meeting every other week. I don't believe l'm learning as much as I would have in school because l'm not getting a lesson from my teachers every day. My teachers have helped a lot by answering questions about assignments quickly ... To tell you the truth, it is a lot to manage since l'm not physically at school, working with my classmates and teachers. But being at home in my comfort zone has helped me become more organized with my works.

Although I have assignments from almast all of my classes every day, almost back-to-back, I always feel like I can do the work whenever I want to... lt's like fighting with my brain daily to do the work ar not to do the wark. As much as I wouldn't want to do online learning, I know it benefits everyone by preventing them from getting sick from the virus.

lt is hard to concentrate at home during distance learning because I don't feel motivated to do the work since there is nabody my age whereas at school, I feel motivated. lt seems like it's easier to do the tasks and stay on task. There are teachers who teach the actual material. They also motivate you to do your best.
