Often the best solutions are the simplest ones. Th ere

is little point introducing co mplex and expensive
solutions to salve problems in the developing world
where resources and finance are scarce . And the
work of Professor David M orl ey is testimony to
this. He started working in the field of chi ld health in
Nigeria in the 1950s and he has been researchi ng
and developing low-cost teac hing aids, diagnostic
tools and health equ ipment ever since. There are few
experts alive today whose knowledge and experience
in this area is greater and at 80 years old he is still

Ohen the best solutions are the simplest ones .

lndeed, there is little or no point in implementi ng
co mpl ex solutions when they may well prove to be a
drain on local finances in an underdeveloped region
where resources are scarce at best. And the work of
Professor David M orley is testimony to thi s. He has
been research in g and developing low-cost teaching
aids, diagnostic tools and hea lth eq uipment to serve
the needs of ch ildren ever since he sta rted working in
thi s field in Nigeria in the 1950s. There are few experts

Yeah. He's still on the phone!!
Over the years, he has developed a range of

low-cost health aid s that can be produced local ly.
What's ingenious about these aids is that you
don 't need a degree in med icine to use them . The
dependency on unaffordable medical resources that
was once effectively a barrier to basic health ca re
for many of Afri ca's impoverished peopl e has been
removed, and ord inary families are now empowered to
care for their own. Hi s simple innovative medical kits ,
such as flytraps, water purifiers and asthma inhalers
made from plastic drink bottles have saved thousands
of lives. And the hope is that what he has pioneered will
outlast him . Th e two charities he has set up CTeaching

he UK poli ce force has been undergoi ng a series

of comprehensive reforms since 2000. The
government wants to create a police force which is
able to deal with hi gher levels of crime while building
strong relationships with its com muniti es. The aim
is to empower communities by reducing their fear
of crime, and increasing their confide nce in the
effectiveness of the police force. In building positive
relationships between the police and its communities,
the government aims to create strong and empowered
communities that won' t deteriorare into crime and
lawlessness.
In an attempt to help build relationships between the
police and their communities, the authorities have
come up with something called ' comm unity poli cing'.
'We want to bring back a more local approach to
poli cing, where local people know their poli ce officers
and where they can see more police officers on the
streets,' said a spokesman.
'We are doing thi s by creating community support
officers who will have a di fferent role to ordinary
police officers. They will have the authority to deal
with minor offences but their main role wi ll be to build
relationships with ordinary citi zens and in doing so,
build a stronger and safer society.'

able tennis might not be the most popular

sport in the West, but in China it is one of
the most widely- followed sports in the
country. And one of the greatest female players in
table tennis history is Deng Yipang from Henan
Province. The popularity of the game is su eh that
many youngsters start playing at three or four
years old, and Deng herself first too k up the sport
at the tender age of five. Even as a child, she was
ambitious and was determined to be the world
champion, and by the time she was in her teens,
she had started competing professionally and
was winning titles. She won regional and national
titles befo re finally winning the ultima te prize in
Japan in 1991. For Deng, however, this was only the
beginning. The world singles title she won that year
was only the first of fourteen, and she continued to
win titles for the next seven years. By the time she
retired in 1999 at the age of 24, she had become a
legend in the sport, anda role m o del for Chinese
sportswomen everywhere. lt's common knowledge
in China that while so many sports people prove to
be uninspiring, Deng, in contrast, is someone those
preparing to compete in the 2012 London Olyrnpics
look up to. In 1999 DengYapingwas named Chinese
Sports Personality of the Century, a fitting tribute to
a great champion.

In 2007 British television faced the biggest
challenge to its reputation in its long history.
It had to admit that a number of phone-in
programmes on the BBC and ITV had misled
their viewers. Sorne of these were popular
children's programmes and charity events
on both TV and radio. Television audiences
around the world were shocked.
The scandal concerned the selection of
competition winners. In the programmes
involved, staff had chosen the winners before
the phone lines had closed. That meant that
viewers and listeners who called in later
had no chance of winning. In sorne cases, TV
and radio staff had even faked competition
winners.
Executives from the TV and radio channels
were repentant and apologized immediately.
'It was very wrong to lie to the public in this
way, and the programme producers have
acted irresponsibly. We will do everything we
can to find out what has gone wrong and to
put it right immediately,' said a spokesman.
The BBC called an investigation immediately
and cancelled a number of live phone-in
programmes, but the damage had already
been done. The question now is whether the
public will ever be able to trust the media
again.
d they wouldn't apologize.

The history of the wheel

Can you imagine life without the wheel? No bicycles, no cars,
no trains, no buses, no planes. Without wheels, many forms of
transport would be impossible. Wheels form an integral part
of most machinery as well as countless other devices that we
simply take for granted. In fact, the applications of the wheel
in modern life and technology are virtually infinite.
Most historians consider the wheel to be one of the most
ancient and important inventions. The earliest known wheels
were constructed in Mesopotamia and date from about 3500
to 3000 BC. These were used mainly by potters - people who
make things like cups and plates out of clay - to turn their
creations. Wheeled vehicles are believed to have appeared
sometime after the invention of the potter's wheel, and the
wheeled cart soon replaced the sledge - a kind of vehicle
without wheels - as a means of transportation.
In its simplest form, the wheel was a solid wooden disk
mounted on a round axle, secured by wooden pins. Eventually
sections were cut out of the disk to reduce the weight, and
radial spokes were devised about 2000 BC. The wheel led to
more efficient use of animal power for agricultura and other
work. It quickly became an invaluable mechanical means for
controlling the flow and direction of energy.
When you think about it, it seems incredible that horno sapiens
sapiens - humans- existed 150,000 years ago but for 143,000
of those years, they remained 'wheel-less'. So why did people
with physical capacities equal to our own walk the earth for
so long before creating the wheel? Palaeontologists say it is
because human populations were extremely small and nomadic
during most of this period, and the wheel, which requires an
axle and support to be useful, is not as simple a device as it
may seem. Making and balancing a wheel requires a skilled
expert, and humans simply didn't spend enough time in one
place for expertise to emerge.

Amazingly, although the invention of the wheel was a major

turning point in our civilisation, we will never know who to

wheel is thought to have been the creation of a single, brilliant
but unknown inventor.

Cause for alarm?

Stealing from shops, or shoplifting, has existed for centuries.
Keeping police and the courts busy, shoplifting is one of
the most common property crimes in the world. In the mid
20th century, as self-service shops became more common,
shoplifting increased considerably. Experts say that shoplifting
causes considerable damage to business and customers by
forcing shops to increase prices. In 2007, it was reported
that shoplifting cost US retail shop owners $25 million a day.
Other studies claim that the majority of what is reported as
shoplifting is actually either employee theft or fraud.
Befare the advent of closed-circuit television (CCTV), shoplifters
were rarely caught. When they were caught, the store would not
usually report the theft to the police be cause of the complicated
legal procedures involved. Shop owners would commonly fine
the offender, tell him or her never to return to the store, and
let him or her go. Technological advances, however, have helped
increase security. Closed-circuit television cameras are common
now in all shops. With this system, customers' movements are
recorded and anybody trying to steal or damage property can

be detected. However, retailers trying to reduce theft in this
way often have to devote a lot of resources to the job as CCTV
requires full-time , human monitoring of the cameras. This
means that the shop has to hire someone to sit and stare at the
camera all day which is, in itself, expensive. In addition, sorne
thieves are so skilful that they are not caught and rarely even
detected.
These days, most retail establishments rely on electronic
security tags which are attached to products. The tag can only
be removed by employees with a special device. If a shoplifter
tries to leave the store with a stolen article, the scanners
installed at the front of the store will detect it and an alarm
sounds.

Curiously, many people who shoplift are actually wealthy. In

The gender gap in sport

Will women ever be able to run as fast as men? Andy Tatem
of Oxford University, who has conducted research into the
sprinting speed of men and women athletes, believes there is a
good chance that they will. But not until 2156!
A mathematical analysis over the past hundred years, shows
that women's performance is improving significantly faster
than men's. If this trend continuas, the fastest person in the
world in 2156 will be a woman athlete able to run the lOO
metres in 8.079 seconds. However, the margin of error in the
calculation means that this could happen as soon as 2064 or
as late as 2788.
Abi Oyepitan, Britain's leading sprinter, is sceptical of the

Oxford researcher's claims. 'I don't believe women will ever
run faster than men', she stated. 'I don't think it's physically
possible. There's now a second between men and women in the
100 metres, and that will always be the case. But if it happens
in the next 50 years, I'll remember this conversation'.

Many researchers believe that, at sorne point, neither men nor

women athletes will be able to run any faster. Others believe
that men will always win because of the size of their bodies,
testosterone production and muscle mass.
In the first women's 100-metre Olympic final in Amsterdam

in 1928, the winning time was 12.2 seconds. The men's final
was won in 10.8 seconds, so the difference was 1.4 seconds.
By 1952, the difference between the women's 100-metre time
and the men's was down to 1.1 seconds. And in four of the
five Olympics between 1988 and 2000, the difference was less
than a second. Tatem's theory was looking good until 2004,
when the gap widened to 1.08 seconds, as female Belarussian,

Yuliya Nesterenko, won the Olympic final in 10.93 seconds
while American male, Justin Gatlin, won in 9.85. Then, in
the 2008 games, the gender gap increased to 1.09 seconds as
Jamaican Usain Bolt broke the men's world record with a time
of 9.69 seconds. Shelly-Ann Fraser won the women's final, the
same year, in 10.78 seconds. Another flaw in Tatem's theory
is the fact that women athletes have not been able to beat
Florence Griffith-Joyner's world record set in 1988.

Cosmic conspiracies
Since ancient times, people have seen unexplained lights or
objects in the sky. We now cal! these Unidentified Flying Objects,
or UFOs. The first, widely publicized, sighting of one of these in
recent times was in Roswell, USA.
The name of Roswell, New Mexico has now become synonymous
with UFOs in popular culture. On July 7, 1947, alien-looking
materials were recovered there. There is much debate about
what actually happened and the evidence itself is widely
disputed. However, according to conspiracy theorists, a crashed,
alen spacecraft and bodies were recovered. Further, the US
military attempted to cover-up this 'evidence'. The military
claim, in contrast, that what was actually recovered was debris
from a secret, experimental, high-altitude surveillance balloon.
Whatever the truth of the Roswell incident, it ranks as one of
the most publicized and controversia! ever.
Many thousands of similar observations have since been
reported worldwide, including recent sightings in the skies
above London. However, sceptics claim that there are many
rational explanations for UFO reports. These range from human
activity, such as satellites or aircraft, to natural phenomena like

peculiar clouds, meteors or stars. Critics go further and point
out that many people these days like to attract public attention
by engaging in hoaxes or may, simply, be experiencing druginduced delusions.
Though no scientifically valid evidence supports belief in
UFOs, this does not, of course, exclude the possibility that
extraterrestrial civilizations actually exist. In fact , many
scientists agree that it is possible - sorne say even probable that sorne kind of extraterrestriallife is 'out there'. The issue
with UFOs is simply a lack of hard evidence.
In 2008, secret files on UFO sightings in the UK were made
available for the first time by the British National Archives. Dr
David Clarke, who is a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University,
told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, "I doubt the disclosure of
these files will convince those who believe there is an official
cover-up. Inevitably, sorne have already dismissed this release
as a whitewash. For them the 'truth' still remains out there,
hidden no doubt in more top secret files concealed somewhere
else."

The benefits of a good night's sleep

We all know that a good night's sleep helps learning. Parents
say so, teachers say so, doctors say so. But is there an
explanation for this or is it an excuse that adults use to send
teenagers to bed early?
Until recently, sleep was considered to be just a period of time
when a person was not awake. However, as a result of studies
conducted over the past 30 years, we now know more about
what goes on when we sleep and the different stages of sleep.
Scientists have discovered, for example, that our brain remains
active while we sleep and that it performs a variety of tasks.
For instance, certain stages of sleep help us feel well rested and
energetic the following day, and other stages help us learn more
effectively or even create memories.
In the last few years, sleep researchers have focussed intently
on the relationship between sleep and memory. They have

your own words.
discovered that the brain consolidates and practises what

it learned during the day after we go to sleep, so learning
continues while a person is sleeping. That means that people
who are taught mentally challenging tasks do them better after
a good night's sleep. Research also suggests that sleep is needed
for creative problem solving. This is true in human beings of
al! ages. It means that sleeping after a lesson is learned is as
important as resting well befare a test or an exam, something
that very few people do. What is much more common is to stay
awake all night studying. We think that one last minute of
revision is going to help us perform better. Big mistake! Tests
done with students at Harvard University Medica! School have
shown that learning a new task and remembering information
of any kind will be facilitated and improved by adequate sleep.

Border security
we have not had any negative feedback. The process is digital.
As a response to the September ll, 2001 terrorist attacks on

the World Trade Centre buildings and the Pentagon, the United
States began increasing security measures for all foreign
visitors, including Western Europeans. Transatlantic travellers
soon found they had to pass through tighter security on their
arrival at US airports and recently the levels of security have
increased again. Prior to the tightening of security measures,
Britons and sorne other travellers had not needed a visa to
enter the USA (unless they were staying more than 90 days).
But in recent years there have been two rounds of increased
security measures.
First of all, in 2004, European travellers were obliged to get
visas (unless they had a machine-readable passport). On arrival,
they had to be photographed and have their fingerprints taken
too. Originally, these security procedures were relatively
painless - fingerprinting took around 15 seconds and only
involved the index finger of the right hand. 'We have been taking
finger scans of British nationals since January, 2004,' said
Bob Mocny, deputy director of airport security systems, 'and
It doesn't involve any ink and the scanning machine is a very
simple device.'
However, since 2007, travellers have been forced to give
fingerprints of all lO fingers befare being allowed to enter the
country. These new security measures now apply to passengers
from Western Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Brunei
and Singapore. Only diplomats, children below the age of 14, and
adults over 80 are exempt.
;:
Curiously, these new security measures have not caught any

terrorists, nor have they been effective in screening for bombs.
But the system has uncovered severa! 'undesirables' such as
common criminals.
Newspaper journalist Charles Starmer-Smith reports that
'overseas travel to the United States is 17% lower than it was
befare the September ll terrorist attacks, while worldwide
travel has increased by 20 per cent during that time'. This
indicates that the decrease in tourism in the USA could be
related to the treatment visitors receive on arrival at US
airports.

he music industry is going through so me of

the biggest changes it has encountered since
cassettes were made obsolete by CDs in the
90s. However successful an artist or band may be
today, they have to face the fact that record sales
have sharply decreased and are no longer what they
used to be.The rise of the 'iTunes TM generation ',
that down loads songs cheap ly (and in some cases,
illegally) and builds music libraries rather than buying
costly CDs, is significantly changing the way the music
industry operates.

4 Charities raised over E2,000,000 for the victims.
lt has been predicted that music sales wil l make up

only 30% of a record labe l's overall income by 20 1O, so
both bands and record labels have had to adapt fast to
the changing market and have realized that profits have
to be found elsewhere: namely in live performances
and the sale of merchandise such as T-sh irts and other
memorabilia. As the record-buying public grows weary
ofthe ir'anytime anywhere' access to recorded music,
record labels have started promoting the value of live
performances and it is paying off. Fans may now expect
to pay less for the recorded music they download, but
they are more than willing to paya high price to hear
their favourite bands live.
