California woman arrested in theft of 65 Stanley cups - valued at nearly $2,500
By C Mandler
January 22, 2024 / 3:05 PM EST / CBS News
On Jan. 17, police in Roseville, California, discovered a 23-year-old woman had allegedly absconded with 65
Stanley cups from a nearby store — worth nearly $2,500.
"Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them," said the
Roseville Police Department in a statement on Facebook.
After being confronted by retail staff, the woman refused to stop, stuffing the cups into her car. She was
subsequently arrested on a charge of grand theft and has yet to be identified by officers.
"While Stanley Quenchers are all the rage, we strongly advise against turning to crime to fulfill your hydration
habits," said the Roseville police.
One commenter on the post pointed out that in addition to the trove of cups in the trunk and front seat, there
was also a bright red Stanley cup in the cup holder, which they hoped police also confiscated. Colorful Stanley
cups caused consumer mayhem earlier this month when the brand dropped a limited-edition batch of
Valentine's Day colors of the popular tumbler at in-Target Starbucks locations.
Viral video showed shoppers running toward displays of the cups, as well as long lines of consumers waiting
to get their hands on one of the coveted Quenchers.

Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equity in the
Forest Management and Fire Prevention Program in Brazil
Women make up more than half of Brazil’s population and
account for 47 million (~50%) of the labor market. Despite these
numbers, women are still underrepresented in many sectors:
they occupy 37% of leadership positions in private companies;
only 15% and 13%, respectively, are federal Representatives and
Senators; and only 12% of cities have women as mayors. The
fewer women there are in leadership positions and in politics, the
lower the representation and scope of their interests and needs.
Coupled with that, men’s wages are, on average, 24% higher
than women’s who hold the same position. Furthermore,
Brazilian women dedicate, on average, 10.4 hours/week more
than men to household chores and caring for family members
(for example, children and the elderly), a type of work
characterized as “domestic” and unpaid. As a result, women
dedicate less time to professional improvement relative to men.
The fewer women in mixed gender work teams, the less likely
women are to excel in their roles and positions.
In Integrated Fire Management (IFM), women face similar
challenges, whether in coordination roles or technical and
operational ones. In Brazil, specifically, Solis and colleagues1
identified that there are no regulations or guidelines that
promote multiculturalism and gender equity in the processes of
hiring forest fire brigades. Although gender equity in IFM is
recognized, in Brazil this debate is still informal and poorly
documented.

Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.

Text 1A2-II
Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is
a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. About 6-7 million people worldwide
are estimated to be infected with T. cruzi. The disease is found
mainly in endemic areas of 21 continental Latin American
countries, where it has been mostly transmitted to humans and
other mammals by contact with feces or urine of triatomine bugs
(vector-borne), known as kissing bugs, among many other
popular names, depending on the geographical area.
Chagas disease is named after Carlos Ribeiro Justiniano
Chagas, a Brazilian physician and researcher who discovered the
disease in 1909. Chagas disease was once entirely confined to
continental rural areas of the Region of the Americas (excluding
the Caribbean islands). Due to increased population mobility
over previous decades, most infected people now live in urban
settings and the infection has been increasingly detected in the
United States of America, Canada, and many European and some
African, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific countries.
Chagas disease’s transmission is caused by T. cruzi
parasites, which are mainly transmitted by contact with
feces/urine of infected blood-sucking triatomine bugs. Normally
they hide during the day and become active at night when they
feed on animal blood, including human blood. They usually bite
an exposed area of skin such as the face (hence its common
name, kissing bug), and the bug defecates or urinates close to the
bite. The parasites enter the body when the person instinctively
smears the bug’s feces or urine into the bite, other skin breaks,
the eyes, or the mouth. T. cruzi can also be transmitted by
consumption of food or beverages contaminated with T. cruzi
through, for example, contact with feces or urine of infected
triatomine bugs or common opossums. This kind of transmission
typically causes outbreaks with more severe cases and mortality;
passage from an infected mother to her newborn during
pregnancy or childbirth; blood or blood product transfusion from
infected donors; some organ transplants using organs from
infected donors; and laboratory accidents.
Internet: <who.int> (adapted).
Regarding the transmission of Chagas disease, according to text
1A2-II, judge the following items.
I Blood product transfusion from infected donors can transmit the disease.
II The also called kissing bug’s feces and urine carry the protozoan parasite.
III Infected pregnant women cannot contaminate their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.
IV Contaminated food or drinks can transmit Chagas disease to people.
Choose the correct option.
I Blood product transfusion from infected donors can transmit the disease.
II The also called kissing bug’s feces and urine carry the protozoan parasite.
III Infected pregnant women cannot contaminate their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.

Text 1A2-I
In 2020, the state of California experienced its worst
wildfire season on record, with the Bay Area fire becoming one
of the largest wildfires in American history. By the end of the
year, the state recorded more than 8,600 blazes that burned down
over 4 million acres of land, accounting for more than 4% of the
state’s total land area.
California is known for its wildfire seasons, which usually
take place between late summer and early autumn, though they
have been getting significantly more intense, destructive, and
longer in the past two decades. At least one-third of the worst
wildfires in USA (United States of America) history occurred in
California. But what causes California such susceptibility to
wildfires in the first place and what is causing the exacerbation
of it?
Wildfires can occur naturally and as a result of human
activity, but three elements must be present for a wildfire to start.
Fuel: Any flammable material surrounding a fire, which can
come in the form of live or dead trees, dry vegetation, and other
organic matter; Air: An abundance of oxygen supply. Heat
sources: to ignite and burn the fuel. This could take the form of
lightning strikes or human sources such as campfires or
cigarettes.
Natural wildfires, which are classified as natural disasters
by the Environmental Protection Agency, can start during low
precipitation, dry weather and droughts. During these conditions,
dry vegetation becomes the perfect fuel for wildfires and when
lightning strikes, it ignites a fire that can spread rapidly with the
aid of strong winds and elevated temperatures.

Why NASA spacesuits are white
What do Neil Armstrong, Ed White, and today's ISS (International Space Station) astronauts have in
common? They all wore a white spacesuit. And they're not alone. Beyond NASA, space programs in countries
like Russia and China also use white suits. Not the colors of the Russian flag or China's iconic yellow and red,
just white. That basic color has saved countless astronaut lives. NASA didn't always have white spacesuits.
Their very first manned spaceflight featured silver suits, but none of those astronauts actually explored the
vacuum of space. And that's the key because out there, spacesuits have to be highly reflective. And the best
color for that isn't silver, it's white.
Here on Earth, our atmosphere shields us from 77% of the sun's radiation. But astronauts in space don't
have that natural shield, which makes them vulnerable to blistering temperatures, severe sunburn, and even
cancer-causing cell damage. So to combat that, they wear white suits that reflect the sun's harmful radiation.
But those white EVA (extra-vehicular activity) suits aren't the only garment in an astronaut's closet. When
heading into space or coming home, NASA astronauts wear a bright orange suit because that loud orange
stands out against the blue ocean and sky and is perfect for attracting attention, so if there's a malfunction during
landing and astronauts have to abandon ship, so to speak, they need to be easy to spot for rescue crews.
That being said, times are changing. Nowadays we have more sophisticated ways of locating astronauts
in need of rescue, like GPS trackers and transponders, so space agencies are now free to get creative with their
color choices. NASA and other programs are already starting to use other colors like deep blue and mustard
yellow. And in the future, they could look a lot different because NASA is heading to Mars. It will be the longest
crewed space mission to date, taking as long as three years from start to finish, and during that time, astronauts
could suffer from boredom or depression. That's where colorful spacesuits could be useful.

(CNN) - A couple abandoned their baby at an airport check-in desk in Tel Aviv, Israel after
arriving without a ticket for the child. The pair, who have not been identified, were checking in for a
Ryanair flight from Ben Gurion International Airport to Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday with the
infant. It emerged that the baby did not have a ticket, and the couple headed off to board the flight -
leaving their child behind on the airline check-in counter.
"The matter was referred to police", a spokeswoman for Ryanair told CNN in an email. She
said: "These passengers traveling from Tel Aviv to Brussels presented at check-in without a
booking for their infant. They then proceeded to security leaving the infant behind at check-in. The
check-in agent at Ben Gurion Airport contacted Airport Security, who retrieved these passengers,
and this is now a matter for local police."
According to Ryanair's website, "infants can be included in a flight reservation during the
online booking process." When making plans to travel with an infant, a pop-up message appears
on the site stating that there is a €25 ($27) charge - or the local currency equivalent - for each
one-way flight the baby takes while sitting on an adult's lap. A seat must be paid for by separate
arrangement if the adults want the baby to travel in a car seat.
The Israeli Airport Authority confirmed the episode to CNN and said in a statement: "A couple
and an infant with Belgian passports arrived for a flight at Terminal 1 without a ticket for the baby.
The couple also arrived late for the flight, once the check-in for the flight was closed. The couple
left the infant seat with the baby and ran toward the security checks at Terminal 1 in an attempt to
reach the boarding gate for the flight."
A spokesman for Israel Police told CNN in a phone call that the matter appeared to have
been resolved by the time police arrived on the scene. He said: "The baby was with the parents
and there's no further investigation."

The Israeli Airport Authority confirmed the episode to CNN and said in a statement: "A couple
and an infant with Belgian passports arrived for a flight at Terminal 1 without a ticket for the baby.
The couple also arrived late for the flight, once the check-in for the flight was closed. The couple
left the infant seat with the baby and ran toward the security checks at Terminal 1 in an attempt to
reach the boarding gate for the flight."
A spokesman for Israel Police told CNN in a phone call that the matter appeared to have
been resolved by the time police arrived on the scene. He said: "The baby was with the parents
and there's no further investigation."

Identical twins go on separate vegan and meat diets to see difference they make to body
In 2021, a set of identical twins took part in an experiment that involved one going vegan
while the other consumed meat to see which of these two diets is (1) ________. The diets are
complete polar opposites, but which one is being (2) ________ to your body?
Well, explorers Hugo and Ross Turner decided to put the plant-based and omnivore diets to
the test to see which was better - with Hugo ditching meat and dairy and Ross sticking to a diet
that included meat, dairy and fish. The twins took part in the Kings College London study over a
12-week period (3) ________ the same number of calories each day as well as carrying out the same
gym training.
Hugo admitted that the switch to a plant-based diet hadn't been easy, but he eventually
ended up feeling more energetic. "I was on the vegan diet and it really does take a hit on your
body. I was now having to eat fruit and nuts and alternatives that didn't have any dairy in them -
and so that meant I was eating a lot more wholesome food, which meant that my sugar levels were
a lot satiated during the day. I felt like I had more energy."
On the other hand, Ross' meat-eating journey was a little different. As he said, his gym
performance was 'up and down a little bit more'. He added that on some days of the challenge he
felt 'very energetic' and on others he would have 'huge lulls'.
By the end of the 12-week study, the men found that the differences between the two diets
weren't very significant, after all.

Entertainment
In the summer of 1944, the popular comedian and radio personality Bob Hope began another of
his famous tours of military camps for the United Service Organizations (USO). This particular tour

performed 150 shows in two months. American military personnel loved the shows. Hope's jokes and
silly stunts made them laugh and took their minds away from the war for a few minutes. Entertainment
gave them something to fight for.
Military commanders in all wars throughout history have understood that morale is essential to a

including good leadership, clear purposes and good food, entertainment played a crucial role in the
morale of American military forces during World War II (WWII). Entertainment also served particular

Why Climate Change Could Mean More Delayed Flights
No one enjoys a delayed flight, but as our weather gets warmer, we can expect more of them.
That's according to experts, who say that the heat of the summer might cause more delays.
Bloomberg looked at US data for flight delays at airports in Chicago and New York from June to August in 2022 and from January to March in 2023. It found that there were more delayed flights in the summer months at both airports.
When the temperature rises above 39 degrees Celsius, things get very difficult for airlines, Bijan Vasigh, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US, told Bloomberg.
The air is thinner when it gets hot and that makes it harder for planes to take off. In thinner air there is not as much lift, so more power is needed.
When they need more power, it helps to have a lighter airplane.
That might mean pilots have to make last-minute decisions to reduce the weight on board by dumping fuel, passengers or baggage — meaning the plane will probably be delayed.
The problem gets worse at airports that are at a higher altitude where the air is already thinner, and at airports with short runways, since planes need more space to get up to a high speed.
But thin air is not the only problem. Smoke from wildfires — that have been happening all around the world in the summer of 2023 — can also cause flights to be delayed and canceled.
Of course, the summer is also a busy time when millions of people fly, and weather is not the only cause of delays — but our hotter climate doesn't seem to be helping.

Car crashes into second floor
of Pennsylvania home
A man drove his car into the second floor of a
Pennsylvania home on Sunday in what officials say was an
"intentional act".
Charges are pending against the driver after police found
a grey vehicle sticking out of the side of the house in the city
of Lewistown.
Officials have not said how exactly the vehicle made its
way to the second floor.
"The pictures speak for themselves", a fire official told the
BBC.
Anywhere from one to three people were inside the home
at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to
Sam Baumgardner, an administrator at the Junction Fire
Company, which assisted in the response to the crash.
The driver was able to climb out onto the roof after the
crash and was taken to the hospital with injuries, Mr
Baumgardner said.
He added that the car likely hit the second floor because
of a culvert - a tunnel that carries a stream under a road or
railway - on the left side of the house.
The driver "went into the culvert and propelled into the air
and landed on the second floor", Mr Baumgardner said.
In a report, Lewistown police said they had determined
through an investigation that the crash was "an intentional
act".
Officials added that the driver will face charges for the
crash.
The BBC has reached out to police for comment.
The fire department said it took about three hours to
remove the car from the second floor.
"The crew that was on the rescue definitely had to think
outside the box," Mr Baumgardner said.
Rescue crews helped stabilise the house and put a tarp
over the hole from the crash because of upcoming storms,
the Junction Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.
