A New Trend in Cryptocurrency: Selling Your Iris


    Characters of countless sci-fi films have relied on iris scans to unlock hidden rooms, power up advanced gadgets, or authenticate their identities in a tech-centric world. What once was only a Hollywood fantasy is now becoming a reality, with similar applications just around the corner. These days, it’s not unusual to hear about shopping malls in cities like Barcelona featuring tiny booths where visitors scan their eyes. The concept is puzzling, especially when they explain that the goal is to “scan your iris to give you cryptocurrencies.”

    Worldcoin, one of Sam Altman’s (director of OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT) ventures, has recently gained increased attention due to their new initiative: offering money in exchange for iris scans. Worldcoin scans the biometric data of the eye and then compensates individuals with cryptocurrency. However, many ask the same questions: What (1)____ Worldcoin gain from our iris? What (2)____ they really planning to do with it? Why (3)____ the iris so important? How (4)____ it affect your privacy?

    Unlike data such as phone numbers, credit cards, or passwords, biometric data is unchangeable. Biometric data includes traits that can be used to identify you, such as your voice, fingerprint, or iris. They are inherently yours and non-transferable. Sharing biometric data could expose individuals to risks of tracking and surveillance, potentially enabling identification without consent through various technologies. Often without realizing it, people have given permission for their data to be sold.

    After carefully studying the legality of this practice, Spain has banned these operations and is removing the stands and iris scanners used by Worldcoin. In countries like France or Brazil, Worldcoin has also faced bans on conducting their activities, while claiming they’re leaving voluntarily rather than because it’s illegal.

Sweden Reintroduces Traditional Books in Schools After Digital-Only Education Experiment


    In 2009, Sweden embarked on a bold journey to digitize its classrooms, aiming to revolutionize the way students learn. The government envisioned a future where computers and tablets would transform education into an interactive and accessible experience. By replacing traditional textbooks with digital alternatives, Sweden sought to make learning more dynamic and prepare students for the digital demands of the 21st century.

    Despite the initial optimism, the digital transition did not deliver the anticipated results. Although Sweden maintained its high ranking in global education standards, studies and feedback from educators and parents revealed challenges. One significant issue was the decline in essential skills such as reading and writing. Teachers noticed that students struggled to concentrate and retain information when using screens compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.

    Distractions from digital devices further compounded the problem. Lots of students get sidetracked by games or surfing the web during class instead of sticking to their studies. While computers and tablets were intended for learning, students often used them for gaming or browsing the internet during school hours, reducing classroom engagement.

    Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course. From 2022 to 2025, the government will invest €104 million to provide every student with paper textbooks for each subject. The decision reflects the government’s understanding that (1)_____ technology has its advantages, traditional teaching methods are vital for fostering critical thinking and comprehension skills.

    “This move is about finding a balance,” said Education Minister Lena Johansson. “We’re not abandoning digital tools altogether, but we’re ensuring that they complement rather than replace the foundational aspects of learning.” By reinstating printed material, Sweden hopes to rebuild fundamental learning skills (2)_____ continuing to use digital tools where they can add value. The new approach aims to harmonize digital and traditional methods to create a more comprehensive educational experience.

Secret WWII tunnels under London to become new tourist attraction


    A vast network of secret underground tunnels beneath central London, constructed during World War II, is set to be transformed into a major tourist attraction by 2028. The London Tunnels project, led by Angus Murray, aims to convert the historic Kingsway Exchange Tunnels into an immersive venue that combines a museum, exhibition space, and entertainment area, commemorating the tunnels' role in British history. With an estimated cost of £120 million ($149 million), the project seeks to attract up to three million visitors annually. Tickets are expected to cost over £30 ($37), and the attraction could rival visitor numbers of landmarks like the London Eye, which draws more than three million visitors each year.

    The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels were originally built as air-raid shelters during the German bombing campaigns of World War II and were completed in 1942. However, by then, the bombing campaigns had ended, and the tunnels were never used for their intended purpose. Actually, their true significance emerged only later. In 1944, they were repurposed as a spy headquarters where Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, worked for the Naval Intelligence Service. The tunnels' connection to espionage adds a unique allure to the planned attraction, inviting visitors to explore a world filled with history, mystery, and wartime secrets. Post-war, the tunnels were expanded and became a top-secret communication center during the Cold War.

    The tunnels have remained largely inaccessible to the public since the 1980s. The project aims to offer an immersive experience that merges historical preservation with modern technology. The attraction is set to include high-resolution immersive screens, interactive activities, hundreds of speakers, and scent-emitting technology to engage visitors fully. "One of the most thrilling global destinations," said Murray, envisioning the project as offering a unique journey through London's wartime past.

Helping Others Helps Ourselves


By Victoria - Pineville, Missour


    I believe helping others is a way to help ourselves. Helping a friend, family, a neighbor, or even a stranger does not necessarily mean fixing their car, or buying them lunch. Helping someone could be as simple as waving or smiling when walking past them. Helping a person could be a small thing such as listening to their problems, offering support and advice, and walking them through an otherwise hard time. Honestly, a person can help another without realizing helping is what they are doing.


    Even though I am only eighteen years of age, I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. In helping others I have become a better person. Offering assistance to others is the best way to leave a good impression on someone. Maybe it is the alleged “bum” on the side of the road; no one can truly know if he is sincerely poor or not except him/her. Still, stopping to give him/her a happy meal or a cup of coffee can show him/her that there are good people left in the world. You may not remember his/her face, but I can guarantee that he/she will remember your kindness forever.


   Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand. In my book everyone deserves a second chance, however if they blow that chance, then they are one their own. I also believe that everyone deserves the chance not to be judged. There are several people that are cold hearted, but seeing the good or best in them could help them to change into a better person. This is why I believe in helping other people.


     I am soon going into the medical field to become a doctor. I chose this field in order to make the most out of helping people. I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish. Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn. I can in turn use my knowledge to discover a cure for cancer or lupus, thus helping many families realize there is still hope. Mostly, however, I would be helping myself in knowing that I have helped so many people for one small act of kindness. I hope that my belief will have a lasting effect on those who read it, and that you too will see the joy in helping others and do the same.

In relation to the Text I, judge the following statements and mark the correct alternative.

I. In the sentence “Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn”, the modal verb “can” expresses an obligation, and could be replaced by “must” without changing the intended meaning.
II. In the sentence “I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life”, the author uses the present perfect tense to refer to past experiences with relevance to the present, and the simple future tense to express intention.
III. In the sentence “I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish”, the term “would be able to” expresses a hypothetical or projected future scenario, associated with a desired profession.
IV. In the sentence “Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand”, the expression “even though” could be replaced by “although” without changing the intended meaning.

"Divergent" is a dark and thrilling series of young adult science fiction books by American novelist Veronica Roth. The trilogy consists of "Divergent" (2011), "Insurgent" (2012), and "Allegiant" (2013), which were later adapted into 3 films.

It is set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian Chicago that has separated its population into five Factions, each defined by certain values. The Factions are Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the selfless), and Candor (the honest). Each year, teenagers of a certain age take a placement test and then choose the Faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. In Chapter 1, we are introduced to Beatrice Prior, who later changes her name to Tris, the protagonist and narrator of the story. As she sits in front of a mirror while her mother cuts her hair, she reflects on the life challenges she will have to face soon.


Chapter 1

THERE IS ONE mirror in my house. It is behind a sliding panel in the hallway upstairs. Our faction allows us to stand in front of it on the second day of every third month, the day my mother cuts my hair.

I sit on the stool and my mother stands behind me with the scissors, trimming. The strands fall on the floor in a dull, blond ring.

When she finishes, she pulls my hair away from my face and twists it into a knot. I note how calm she looks and how focused she is. She is well-practiced in the art of losing herself. I can't say the same of myself.

I sneak a look at my reflection when she isn't paying attention-not for the sake of vanity, but out of curiosity. A lot can happen to a person's appearance in three months.

In my reflection, I see a narrow face, wide, round eyes, and a long, thin nose -I still look like a little girl, though sometime in the last few months I turned sixteen. The other factions celebrate birthdays, but we don't. It would be self-indulgent.

(...) "So today is the day," she says.

"Yes," I reply.

"Are you nervous?"

I stare into my own eyes for a moment. Today is the day of the Aptitude test that will show me which of the five factions I belong in. And tomorrow, at the Choosing Ceremony, I will decide on a faction; I will decide the rest of my life; I will decide to stay with my family or abandon them.

"No," I say. "The tests don't have to change our choices."

"Right." She smiles. "Let's go eat breakfast."

"Thank you. For cutting my hair."

She kisses my cheek and slides the panel over the mirror. I think my mother could be beautiful, in a different world. Her body is thin beneath the gray robe. She has high cheekbones and long eyelashes, and when she lets her hair down at night, it hangs in waves over her shoulders. But she must hide that beauty in Abnegation.

We walk together to the kitchen. On these mornings when my brother makes breakfast, and my father's hand skims my hair as he reads the newspaper, and my mother hums as she clears the table - it is on these mornings that I feel guiltiest for wanting to leave them.

US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth



It sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but some researchers want to cool the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. Sun blocking' technologies - also known as solar radiation modification (SRM) - could theoretically cool down the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. One idea involves pumping sun-blocking particles into the upper atmosphere. This process of 'stratospheric aerosol injection' would involve planes spraying an aerosol like sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. This mist of particles would reflect the sun back upwards, shading the earth. The method has already worked - although accidentally. When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, it released thousands of tons of sulfur dioxide. The global temperature temporarily dropped by 0.5°C. In September 2022, researchers at Yale University argued that the injection method could hypothetically refreeze the poles.


A White House report published last Friday confirms that the US is open to researching SRM. "A programme of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component. of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation it says. However, the report also clarifies that no decision has been made to "establish a comprehensive research programme focused on solar radiation modification."


In February, several news outlets reported that the UN wanted to 'explore' this technique. This could give the impression that the organisation had approved sun blocking as a viablé tool to fight climate change. Unfortunately for tech enthusiasts, this is not the case. The UN Environmental Program's recent report into SRM concludes that it is not currently a realistic or wise plan. "UNEP concurs with the panel that, at present, large-scale, or operational deployment of SRM technologies is not necessary, viable, prudent or sufficiently safe, given the limited scientific understanding and uncertainty about the potential impacts and unintended consequences," says UNEP's Chief Scientist Andrea Hinwood. "The review concludes that SRM cannot replace reducing greenhouse gas emissions." Nonetheless, the body doesn't rule out the method altogether, with the report concluding that their assessment of the technique "may change should climate actions remain insufficient".

Fewer than 1 in 5 would give up their smartphone to mitigate climate change, YAF poll found


According to a poll published on Aug. 13, 2023 from the Young America's Foundation, two thirds of college students believe climate change is a threat to their generation, but fewer than one in five are willing to give up their smartphones to heip, a recent poll found. More college students would sacrifice having children and eating meat before giving up their cellphones.

The poll, facilitated by Echelon Insights, asked 812 college students in mid-July about a wide variety of topics, including environmental issues. According to the poll, 86 percent believe climate change is happening, and nearly two thirds, 67 percent, believe it is a threat for their generation. But when asked what they are willing to give up or significantly cut down on to "heip mitigate climate change," only one in five - or 13 percent - chose their smartphones.

Anthony Watts, senior fellow for environment and climate at the Heartland Institute, said the results did not surprise him. He said giving up a smartphone - "essentially a visual stimulation drug" - is like trying to end a drug addiction, and it isn't surprising that students are more willing to sacrifice almost anything else.
