Over the past two decades around a third of the world’s mangrove swamps have ---1--- for human use, with many turned into valuable shrimp farms. In 2007 an economic study of such shrimp farms in Thailand showed that the commercial profits per hectare ---2--- $9,632. If that were the only factor, conversion would seem an excellent idea. However, proper accounting shows that for each hectare government subsidies ---3--- $8,412 of this figure and there were costs, too: $1,000 for pollution and $12,392 for losses to ecosystem services. These comprised damage to the supply of foods and medicines that people ---4--- from the forest, the loss of habitats for fish, and less buffering against storms. And because a given shrimp farm only ---5--- productive for three or four years, there was the additional cost of restoring them afterwards: if you do so with mangroves themselves, add another $9,318 per hectare. The overall lesson is that what looks beneficial only does so because the profits ---6--- by the private sector, while the problems are spread out across society at large, appearing on no specific balance sheet. 1) A. converted B. been converted C. been converting D. convert 2) A. were B. are C. was D. is 3) A. forms B. is forming C. has formed D. formed 4) A. had taken B. has taken C. are taking D. take 5) A. stayed B. have stayed C. are staying D. stays 6) A. to be retained B. are retaining C. are retained D. have been retained #RWFIB #388_Shrimp_Farm

From the mid-1890s a race was on between the merchant navies of the recently unified Germany, Britain and France. That race was ---1--- the most luxurious and fastest ocean liners and it started with the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, the first of fourteen four-stackers ---2--- between 1897 and 1921. The large vessels that followed each tried to outdo the previous one in terms of size and interior design. Using many of the most famous of interior designers, every part of the new ships was 'designed', from the cutlery to the china, from the furniture to the paneling, and from the bedrooms to the boat decks. Through Kronprinzessin Cecilie, Mauretania, Aquitania, Olympic, Titanic, Imperator, Vaterland, Ile de France, and Paris, the development and design of the ships ---3--- grander and more luxurious. The process continued into the 1930s, with the Empress of Britain and the fabulously Art Deco Normandie, the finest and most expensive liner ever built, and designed to be a showcase for all that was France, as well as with the Queen Mary, a rather more traditional vessel, but one, nonetheless, which ---4--- the boundaries of design away from the traditional country house look of the Edwardian era. Each new vessel brought with it the finest of interiors, from the plush and palatial to the modern look of the time. Even today, the influence of these floating palaces can still ---5--- in vessels such as Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and the multitude of new cruise vessels, all ---6--- for the public's interest and affection. 1) A. makes B. made C. making D. to make 2) A. builds B. had been built C. built D. were built 3) A. grew B. are growing C. grow D. have grown 4) A. pushed B. had pushed C. are pushing D. pushes 5) A. be saw B. have seen C. be seen D. see 6) A. vied B. vying C. to vie D. vie #RWFIB #339_Merchant_Navies

As a child, I used to spend hours playing in my grandmother's garden. She had an array of colorful flowers and herbs growing throughout the yard, and she would teach me about each one. She had a particular love of lavender, and I remember her telling me stories about how she used to dry it and make sachets to put in her drawers. #ra #apeuni_1145

Blue whales are the largest living mammals. Though reports of maximum length and weight vary from one account to another. Antarctic blue whales are known to have reached lengths to 100 feet and weights of over 150 tons before stocks were severely depleted by whaling operations. North Atlantic blue whales may be expected to reach lengths of 80-85 feet. #RA #579_Blue_Whale

Research has shown that regular meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as improve sleep quality, cognitive function, and immune system response. Meditation is also associated with increased feelings of compassion, empathy, and self-awareness. By cultivating a regular meditation practice, individuals can enhance their overall health and well-being. #RA #Apeuni_1313 ——————————————————— 🎖Together we persevere, Together we can 🎖 @Iran_pte_house

🔮 Transcript I think with our linguistic training we also get all this invisible training to be authorities, to be the people who know. It is part of that process that you come out as a world authority on your chosen subject. But when we move into working with communities, we have to recognise that the communities have to be the authority in their language. Actually, a woman in the class I'm teaching at Sydney at the moment, a career woman, expressed this very nicely, although she was talking about something else, she was distinguishing expertise from authority. And certainly linguists, because of our training we do, have expertise in certain very narrow areas of language, but we don't have the authority over what to do with that knowledge or what to do with other knowledge that the community produces. I guess for me the bottom line is languages are lost because of the dominance of one people over another. That's not rocket science, it's not hard to work that out. But then what that means is if in working with language revival we continue to hold the authority, we actually haven't done anything towards undoing how languages are lost in the first place, so in a sense the languages are still lost if the authority is still lost. 🔮 Suggested Key Concepts ✅ linguistic training ✅ invisible training ✅ a world authority ✅ working with communities ✅ the authority in the language ✅ distinguishing expertise from authority ✅ narrow areas of language ✅ what to do with knowledge ✅ languages are lost ✅ the dominance of one people over another ✅ language revival ✅ authority is lost #rl #retell_lecture #apeuni_predictions_247 @Iran_Pte_House ✅ Together we persevere Together we can 💚

🔆 Transcript: There can now be no reasonable, science-based, doubt about the reality of global climate change effects brought on by the cumulative and rapidly growing emission of so-called "greenhouse gases" - primarily carbon dioxide - into the atmosphere. As these effects become increasingly more obvious worldwide, so commercial interests, groups of concerned individuals and national governments have been gripped by amounts of mass panic and what to do about it. To many, Paul Ehrlich’s Malthusian "Population Bomb" of 1968 appears about to explode in the world’s face in an indirect version of his millenarian vision of population growth which outpaces agricultural production capacity - with predictably catastrophic results for humanity. And his three-part crisis scenario does indeed seem now to be present: a rapid rate of change, a limit of some sort, and delays in perceiving that limit. Ehrlich’s work was roundly criticized at the time, and later, from many quarters, and much of what he predicted did not come about. Nevertheless, can the world afford to take the risk that the climate scientists have got it wrong? Is it not in everyone’s interest to apply the Precautionary Principle in attempting to avoid the worst of their predictions - now, rather than at some future time? As the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Mr. Rajendra Pachauri, has recently pointed out, eleven of the warmest years since instrumental records began have occurred in the past twelve years, while major precipitation changes are taking place on a global scale. 🔆 Main Points: ⚜️ the global climate change effects ⚜️ greenhouse gases / carbon dioxide ⚜️ mass panic ⚜️ the Population Bomb/ population growth ⚜️ outpacing agricultural production capacity ⚜️ a crisis scenario ⚜️ being criticized ⚜️ applying Precautionary Principles 🔆 Other Points: ⚜️ catastrophic results for humanity ⚜️ a rapid rate of change ⚜️ a limit of some sort ⚜️ delays in perceiving the limits 🔆 Sample Answer: The essential feature of this topic was to determine the global climate change effects. Although greenhouse gases can perceive mass panic as the Population Bomb, outpacing agricultural production capacity could be associated with catastrophic results for humanity. Moreover, a crisis scenario may derive being criticized from applying Precautionary Principles. Consequently, the most vital purpose of the presentation was to clarify the concluding remarks.

In the creative condition, the students were told to think of a friend who did something special and think of them as their "creative friend" who could help them solve any problem. This type of creativity training is called perspective-shifting, in which the kids look at a problem through the eyes of someone else. #RA #Apeuni_1346 ——————————————————— 🎖Together we persevere, Together we can 🎖 @Iran_pte_house
