TEXT I


The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster - instead, it is at risk of failing.


Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profounp influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River. It forms part of the global ocean "conveyor belt" connecting the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The system regulates Earth's climate and pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe. But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current.


The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is like a moat around the icy continent. The current helps to keep warm water at bay, protecting vulnerable ice sheets. It also acts as a barrier to invasive species such as southern bull kelp and any animals hitching a ride on these rafts, spreading them out as they drift towards the continent. It also plays a big part in regulating the Earth's climate.


The influence of climate change:
Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous research suggested one vital part of this conveyor belt could be headed for a catastrophic collapse. Theoretically, warming water around Antarctica should speed up the current. This is because density changes and winds around Antarctica dictate the strength of the current. Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed up the current.


Far-reaching consequences:
The consequences of a weaker Antarctic Circumpolar Current are profound and far-reaching. As the main current that circulates nutrient-rich waters around Antarctica, it plays a crucial role in the Antarctic ecosystem. Weakening of the current could reduce biodiversity and decrease the productivity of fisheries that many coastal communities rely on. It could also aid the entry of invasive species such as southern bull kelp to Antarctica, disrupting local ecosystems and food webs.

One man in a boat


L.G. Alexander


Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything ‐ not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. “You must give up fishing!” my friends say. “It’s a waste of time.” But they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

What is a friend?

Márcio Paulo Barbosa Pena Mascarenhas 


Laurie: To me, a friend is someone who stands by you when  you  need  them,  someone  who  cares.  Not  like  your  parents,  ________. Parents are either picking on you or telling you off, so  sometimes it’s a pain. To a friend you can always open up. 

Angela:  I  agree  with  Laurie  but  personally,  I  don’t  think  a  friend has to be physically around all the time. I have friends that I  haven’t seen in years, but I know if we get together, we’ll pick up  right where we left off. 

Fran: I think a friend is that old pal you’ve always gotten on  with. I often look back on my schooldays and I think of the funny  things my  friends and I  did  together. As I  see  it,  the  friends you  make in youth are friends to keep for a lifetime. 

Gary:  If  you  ask me,  a  friend  is  a  person  you  have  fun  and  relax with. My friends and I talk about movies, sports or politics. I  don’t go  round  telling  them my  troubles and I  don’t  particularly  want  to  hear  theirs. I  believe  that  if  you  don’t expect  too much  from people, you won’t be let down.

Earthquake levels city of Antakya in southern Turkey 


    The Turkish city of Antakya, one of  the hardest‐hit  towns in  the earthquake  zone,  has  been  nearly  destroyed  by  the massive  7.8  quake  that  struck  on  6th  February.  Tall  apartment  buildings were  flattened,  trapping  residents  who  were  sleeping  when  the  quake  struck  in  the  early  morning  hours.  Thousands  are  __________  to  be  buried  in  their  homes.  Most  of  the  city  was  heavily  damaged  and  rescuers  have  been  working  around  the  clock to pull survivors from under the rubble, racing against time  in  cold  weather. Many  residents  were  left  homeless  and  had  to  spend nights outdoors, burning debris to keep warm as overnight temperatures  dropped  below  freezing. Workers  pulled  a man  in  his 30s out of the ruins as a jubilant crowd burst into cheers and  tears. Not  long after,  they  found an elderly woman. Then, a  10‐ year‐old girl was also rescued: the child was under the rubble for  90  hours.  These moments  of  hope  among  the  devastation  keep  them going as darkness falls. More than 80 hours after the quake,  rescuers using pails along with other equipment, found a man and  his mother, and pulled  them out alive. Amid  the  rubble, a group of rescuers were able to pull out lost family members alive. 


    Even  as  more  help  arrives,  hope  for  finding  survivors  dwindles.  Family  members  wait  in  the  cold  to  see  if  their  loved ones will be found, alive or dead. There are more than 100 bodies  waiting  for  identification  in  a  makeshift  morgue  outside  the  Antakya hospital. More than 600 aftershocks are slowing recovery  efforts  and  make  the  task  more  dangerous.  Little  aid  from  the  government has reached  the city and  the need is overwhelming.  People walk  the  streets  in  tears,  dazed. There  is  no  place  to go.  Everything  is  covered  in  dust.  Even  with  some  120,000  rescuers  across Turkey and Syria now  taking part in  the effort,  the  task is  daunting.  With  every  passing  hour,  the  likelihood  of  finding  survivors diminishes.

Global coral reef bleaching event underway as oceans get  warmer  


    The  world’s  oceans  experience  unprecedented  rising  temperatures:  last  month,  the  average  global  sea  surface  temperature reached a record 21° Celsius. Last week, the National  Oceanic  and  Atmospheric  Administration  (NOAA)  reported  the  4th  global  bleaching  event  on  record.  A  press  release  stated,  “Within  the  last  14 months,  significant  coral  bleaching  has  been  documented in  the Northern and Southern Hemispheres of each  major  ocean  basin.  Since  2023,  the  problem  has  become  more  frequent in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.”


    According  to NOAA, warmer  ocean  temperatures  can  result  in expulsion of algae that live in the coral tissue, leaving the coral  completely  white  ‐  something  known  as  ‘coral  bleaching’.  This  does  not  necessarily mean  corals will  die,  as  they  can  recover  if  the strain on their ecosystems is reduced. At a local level, storms,  disease,  sediments  and  changes  in  salinity  can  cause  corals  to  bleach. However, mass bleaching, which is when several varieties  of  coral  reefs  are  bleached,  is  largely  caused  by  increased  sea temperatures.  When  these  events  are  sufficiently  severe  or  prolonged, they can cause coral mortality, which hurts the people  who depend on the coral reefs for their livelihoods.


    In  2019, NOAA  published  a  study  that  provided  “resilience‐ based management practices” and __________ the importance of  coral restoration. “We are on the frontlines of coral reef research,  management  and  restoration,  and  are  actively  and  aggressively  implementing  the  recommendations  of  the  2019  study.” A  buoy  in  Florida  reported  an  ocean  temperature  of  38°  Celsius  in  July 2023, according to meteorologists at the time. In response, NOAA  started  a  program  to  attempt  to  offset  the  effects  of  global  climate change on the local coral reefs by moving coral nurseries  to  deeper,  cooler  waters  and  deploying  sunshades  to  protect  corals in other areas.

Overcoming shyness by controlling emotional state 


    Words can be amazingly powerful if you know how to use  them.  Read  any  book  about  influencing  people  and  you’ll  see  what  I  mean.  Some  shy  people  don’t  understand  how  their  behavior,  and  specially  their  language  patterns,  influence  others.

    Any  decision  you  make  is  largely  influenced  by  the  emotional state you are in at  the  time. If you are in a positive,  happy  state,  you  are  much  more  likely  to  behave  in  positive,  rewarding ways. If you are in a “bad mood”, you  tend  to make  poor decisions and ignore  the positive  things around you. How  do emotional states work? If you concentrate, you can often put yourself in whatever state you want (Think happy thoughts!).
