Genetically Modified Foods, Pros and Cons.
Genetically modified foods (GMs)are becoming increasingly
coirtmon in many countries. However, before one opts for any of
these foods, it is very important to know about their pros and
cons.
There are a variety of reasons for developing GMs. For
instance, some foods are genetically modified to prevent the
occurrence of allergies after consumption, while some are
developed to improve their shelf life.
Though the seeds of GMs are quite expensive, their cost of
production is said to be lesser than that of the traditional crops
for these foods do have natural resistance towards damaging pests
and insects. This reduces the necessity of exposing crops to
hazardous Chemicals. It is also said that GMs grow faster. Due to
this, productivity increases, providing the population with more
food. At times, GMs crops can be grown at places with unfavorable
climatic conditions whereas a normal crop can grow only in
specific season or under some favorable climatic conditions.
The biggest threat caused by GMs is that they can have
harmful effects on the human body. It is believed that they can
cause diseases which are immune to antibiotics. Moreover,
according to some experts, people who consume such foods have high
chances of developing câncer. Besides, not much is known about
their long-term effects on human beings.
In many countries, manufacturers do not mention on the labei
that foods are genetically modified because they think that this
would affect their business. However, this is not a good practice
as consumers do not get the chance to decide whether they should
really opt for these foods, Experts are of the opinion that with
the increase of genetically modified foods, developing countries
would start depending more on industrial countries because it is
likely that the food production would be controlled by them in the
time to come.

Based on the text below, answer the question.
Navy preps submarines for lst female officers
HARTFORD, Conn. — For Ensign Peggy LeGrand, the biggest
concern about serving on a submarine is not spending weeks at a
time in tight quarters with an entirely male crew. What worries
her is the scrutiny that comes with breaking one of the last
gender barriers in the military.
"I have a feeling more people will be focused on us. Our
mistakes and successes will be magnified more than they deserve",
said LeGrand, a 25-year-old Naval Academy graduate from Amarillo,
Texas.
LeGrand is among a small group of female officers who are
training at sites including Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite
submarine force beginning later this year. While the Navy says it
is not treating them any differently from their male counterparts,
officials have been working to prepare the submarine crews — and
the sailors1 wives — for one of the most dramatic changes in the
111-year history of the Navy’s "silent Service."
The change is a source of anxiety for others, including the
wives of submariners, who worry the close contact at sea could
lead to sailors' cheating. The issue really has to do with the
creation of a relationship that becomes very close and then
results in further relations ashore. That is, of course, what
bothers the wives. "They know the kind of relationships that
happens between the shipmates", said retired Navy Rear Adm. W . J.
Holland Jr., a former submarine commander.
The initial class of 24 women will be divided among four
submarines, where they will be outnumbered by men by a ratio of
roughly 1 to 25. The enlisted ranks, which make up about 90
percent of a sub's 160-sailor crew, are not open to women although
the Navy is exploring modifications to create separate bunks for
men and women.
The female officers, many of them engineering graduates from
Annapolis, are accustomed to being in the minority, and so far
they say they hardly feel like outsiders. The nuclear power school
that is part of their training, for example, has been open to
women for years because the Navy in 1994 reversed a ban on females
serving on its surface ships, including nuclear-powered vesseis.

A Shift from Nursing Homes to Managed Care at Home
Faced with soaring health care costs and shrinking Medicare and Medicaid financing, nursing home operators are closing some facilities and embracing an emerging model of care that allows many elderly patients to remain in their homes and still receive the medicai and social Services available in institutions.
In the newer model, a team of doctors, social workers,
physical and occupational therapists and other specialists provide
managed care for individual patients at home, at adult day-care
centers and in visits to specialists. Studies suggest that it can
be less expensive than traditional nursing homes while providing
better medicai outcomes.
The number of such programs has expanded rapidly, growing
from 42 programs in 22 States in 2007 to 84 in 29 States today. In
New York City, a program run by a division of Center Light Health
System, formerly known as the Be th Abraham Family of Health
Services, has over 2,500 participants at 12 sites in the
metropolitan area.
"It used to be that if you needed some kind of long-term
care, the only way you could get that Service was in a nursing
home, with 24-hour nursing care," said Jason A. Helgerson, the
Medicaid director for New York State. "That meant we were
institutionalizing Service for people, many of whom didn't need
24-hour nursing care. If a person can get a Service like home
health care or Meais on Wheels, they can stay in an apartment and
thrive in that environment, and it's a lower cost to taxpayers."

They are an important part of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there.
Many have a garden where people can sit in the summer. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in
St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century. Groups of friends
normally buy 'rounds' of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for all the members
of the group. In most pubs in Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for
your purchase immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders do not expect frequent tipping.
To tip them, it is customary to say: “Would you like a drink yourself?"

I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk allowed, but his chair was angled toward me. His hair was dripping wet – he looked like someone in a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.
“My name is Edward Cullen," he continued. “I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan."
My mind was spinning with confusion. He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was waiting. But I couldn't think of anything conventional to say.

Fire at Antarctica station kills 2 Brazilian sailors
Two Brazilian sailors died and one was injured Saturday after a fire broke out at a naval research station in Antarctica, authorities reported. The fire occurred at the Comandante Ferraz Station on King George Island, said Adm. Julio Soares de Moura Neto, commander of the Brazilian Navy. The three sailors were trying to extinguish a fire that broke out in the engine room of the facility. Brazilian military police are investigating the cause. The station is home to researchers who conduct studies on the effects of climate change in Antarctica and its implications on the planet, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology and Innovation. Researchers at the base also study marine life and the atmosphere.

Two Brazilian sailors died and one was injured Saturday after a fire broke out at a naval research station in Antarctica, authorities reported. The fire occurred at the Comandante Ferraz Station on King George Island, said Adm. Julio Soares de Moura Neto, commander of the Brazilian Navy. The three sailors were trying to extinguish a fire that broke out in the engine room of the facility. Brazilian military police are investigating the cause. The station is home to researchers who conduct studies on the effects of climate change in Antarctica and its implications on the planet, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology and Innovation. Researchers at the base also study marine life and the atmosphere.

Apple manufacturing plant workers complain of long hours and militant culture
Chengdu, China (CNN) — Miss Chen (we changed her name for this story), an 18-year-old student from a village outside of the southern megacity of Chongqing, is one of more than one million factory workers at a Chinese company that helps manufacture products for Apple Inc.'s lucrative global empire, which ranked in a record $46.3 billion in sales last quarter. They work day or night shifts, eating and sleeping at company facilities, as they help build electronics products for Apple and many other global brand names, such as Amazon's Kindle and Microsoft's Xbox.
As a poor college student with no work experience, looking for a job in China's competitive market is an uphill battle. So when Chen was offered a one-month position at Foxconn with promises of great benefits and little overtime, she jumped at the chance. But when she started working, she found out that only senior employees got such benefits.
“During my first day of work, an older worker said to me, 'Why did you come to Foxconn? Think about it again and leave right now'," said Chen, who plans to return to her studies at a Chongqing university soon.
Foxconn recently released a statement defending its corporate practices, stating its employees are entitled to numerous benefits including access to health care and opportunities for promotions and training. In response to questions from CNN, Apple also released a statement: “We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. We insist that our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes wherever Apple products are made. Our suppliers must live up to these requirements if they want to keep doing business with Apple."
After three weeks of applying more than 4,000 stickers a day onto iPad screens by hand and working 60 hours a week in an assembly line, Chen says she's ready to go back to school and study hard so she'll never have to return to Foxconn. “It's so boring, I can't bear it anymore. Everyday is like: I get off from work and I go to bed. I get up in the morning, and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an animal," said Miss Chen. When asked why humans do machine-like work at Foxconn, she responds, “Well, humans are cheaper."
