Date: 02 Feb 2010
GENEVA (2 February 2010) – "There is an increased risk of unaccompanied children in Haiti, including
orphans and restaveks, being abducted, enslaved, sold or trafficked, due to increased insecurity in the
country," a group of UN human rights experts warned Friday.
The experts, who are mandated by the Human Rights Council to monitor slavery, sale of children,
trafficking and violence against children, stressed that "protection of children must be at the heart of the relief
operation in Haiti."
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Committee on the Rights of the Child and
Independent Expert on Haiti have also emphasized the critical need to protect children in the chaotic
aftermath of the earthquake, and in light of the particular dangers posed by thousands of gang-members and
other criminals who escaped from prisons damaged by the quake.
"Unaccompanied children are particularly vulnerable and it is essential, wherever possible, to register,
trace and reunite children with their families," the UN experts said, adding that "during the evacuation efforts,
it is imperative to avoid the unnecessary separation of families which may place children at higher risk,
aggravate their trauma and distress and hinder their recovery and reintegration."

OBAMA’S INAUGURAL SPEECH
(CNN) – Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States and the nation’s first
African-American president Tuesday. This is a transcript of his prepared speech.
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled __( I )__the task before us, grateful __( II )__the trust you have
bestowed, mindful__( III )__ the sacrifices borne by our ancestors . I thank President Bush__( IV) __ his
service __( V )__ our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown __( VI )__ this
transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken
during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters
of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these
moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We
the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching
network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and
irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the
nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly;
our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our
adversaries and threaten our planet.

BRAVE HEIRESS, BRAVE HEART
By Fernando Duarte
Daughter of Brazil’s most famous environmentalist, Elenira Mendes pays tribute to her father, 20
years after an assassination that shocked and engaged the world.

Society for Arts and Technology.

still have his work cut out for him today; __( III )__ the advances made by the Lula administration, safeguarding
the Amazon continues to be an enormous challenge. __( IV )__, take the reservation named after my father, in

OLINDA! WHAT A LOVELY SPOT FOR A TOWN

by Jason Bermingham
Legend has it that a view gave rise to the name of Pernambuco’s first capital. In 1535 provincial lord
Duarte Coelho, having climbed to the top of a hill, is believed to have said "Oh! Linda posição para uma vila!"
The truth of this is anyone’s guess. By the same reasoning one would expect to find places like
Poxaquebonita and Quelugarchique on the map – when in fact they do not exist. Still, the story is colorful –
and gives you a destination this sunny morning: Alto da Sé, the hill from which Duarte Coelho supposedly
waxed poetic.
So you tramp up Rua do Amparo. With Carnaval just days away, Olinda is as pretty as a flower garden

Shrimp cocktail.Tortellini.Chocolate pudding cake! The International Space Station crew eats well, and
soon they’ll have even more choices. In late 2008 Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata will blast off on
Expedition 18 along with some delicacies devised by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for a test. His

there), nutritious, and fit for zero gravity (salt and pepper are in liquid form as specks would float around).
Food containers are fastened to trays. Astronauts sip liquids with a straw or dig into solids with forks and
spoons. The new eats pose new issues.

E-CYCLING ETIQUETTE: HOW TO HELP
Americans toss out about two million tons of unwanted electronics annually, fouling landfills with toxic
lead from old computer monitors, cadmium from leaking batteries, and more.
But it’s getting easier to discard responsibly. Some charities repurpose old cell phones as lifelines for
seniors and victims of domestic violence, and computers can go to underfunded schools. Reputable
recyclers will properly scrap unusable electronics, though they sometimes charge a small fee. Donating
newer models, on the other hand, can earn a tax deduction, so keeping old gadgets from gathering dust
helps you and the environment. For more information on charities and recyclers, go to epa.gov/ecycling.

a) charity groups make seniors and sick people reuse their own old electronics in order to spend time
doing something useful.

c) unless you donate more recent models, you won’t have a discount.

WILDLIFE
Fearsome, yes. But fragile, too. The hippopotamus is built like a tank, runs far faster than a man, and
defends its territory with massive, razor-sharp tusks. Yet the enormous herbivore has a sensitive side; it
spends all day in the water to prevent its thin skin from drying out, and secretes an oily reddish-pink
substance to protect it from sunburn. It is also the linchpin in a finely balanced wetland ecosystem: if the
hippopotamus and its fertilizing dung are removed, local fish populations crash. Facing both habitat loss and
poaching for meat and tusks, the hippopotamus is disappearing from its former range on a frighteningly large
scale. We can help make the world a better place by raising awareness of endangered species.

PERSUADING LEONARDO
D. Wohlbruck, Dr Dobb’s Journal, January, 2004.
Although both Ben Shneiderman's Leonardo's Laptop: Human Needs and the New Computing
Technologies and B.J. Fogg's Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do
are written by academics, the books transcend academia to provide a different view of the Internet's
potential. Shneiderman prepares the groundwork for what he calls the "new computing," while Fogg
describes how to make that computing persuasive.
The idea behind Leonardo's Laptop is a consideration of what Leonardo da Vinci would demand from a
laptop computer and what he would do with it. To Shneiderman, who is founding director of the Human-
Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland, the new computing puts users first. Shneiderman
begins with a brief history of computing and computer applications, declaring that, "These founders of the old
computing overcame technological limitations to build impressive projects and then turned to producing tools
for themselves, giving little thought to the needs of other users." Although not a founder, I admit to being of
the old computing generation. I programmed in dead languages such as IBM's 1401 Autocoder and 360
Assembler before progressing to Cobol and RPG. I have now learned Visual Basic and C++, and I can report
that there is nothing intrinsic to any of these languages that center a programmer's focus on those who use
their applications. The new computing is not about languages but, as Shneiderman suggests, about
understanding human activities and human relationships.
With Leonardo as both creator and user, his laptop will enable greater creativity and grander goals. This
book goads you with ideas for applications in e-learning, e-business, e-healthcare, and e-government. Each
area is built around a framework for technology innovation that Shneiderman calls the "four circles of
relationships" and the "four stages of activities." (…)
Although the mental picture of Leonardo with a notebook computer excites the imagination, as a literary
device, it does not wear well as the book progresses. Nonetheless, Shneiderman achieves the objective of
Leonardo's Laptop — creating a foundation for the new computing.
With a new computing application in hand, B.J. Fogg's Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to
Change What We Think and Do gives you advice on its implementation. To Fogg, who launched Stanford's
Persuasive Technology Lab and who holds seven patents in the area of UI* design, a web site must first be
credible to be persuasive. Fogg has coined the term "captology" to describe this branch of the study of
computers. From the book's "Introduction:"
Captology focuses on the design, research, and analysis of interactive computing products created for
the purpose of changing people's attitudes or behaviors. It is the computer's ability to provide interactivity that
gives its applications an advantage over other forms of media.
Persuasive Technology describes three basic roles that computers play: the computer as a tool, as
media, and as a social actor. Further, there are seven types of persuasive tools described by Fogg. Such
tools persuade by simplifying, tunneling (guiding), customizing, being there at the right time, removing
tedium, rewarding after observation, and reinforcing proper behavior. As media, computers can modify
behavior by simulating new endeavors. As a social actor, computers persuade through praise. However, no
matter the role, to persuade, the application must be credible.
Perhaps the most interesting parts of Fogg's book are the two chapters that discuss the ways in which
computer applications destroy their own credibility and what an application or web site must do to be
considered, by its users, trustworthy. According to Fogg, a computing device or application is perceived to be

credible only if it is first perceived as believable—trustworthiness based on expertise. In brief, an application
is trustworthy if it is thought to be fair and unbiased. It is trustworthy if its author or origin is thought to be
skilled and knowledgeable. The crux of the issue is that credibility matters.
Both books are thoroughly documented and both are excellent points of departure for a more detailed
inquiry into the available material. If both books are taken to heart, using computers and their applications
will become enjoyable and satisfying.

TEN QUESTIONS OVER A CELL PHONE
Milton Hatoum is the award winning author of Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers) and Cinzas do Norte (Ashes
from the North). His new novel, Órfãos do Eldorado (Eldorado Orphans), will be released next April.
1) Which was your best trip ever?
The trip I took with my father to Lebanon, in July 1992. He had not seen his Lebanese family for over
30 years. Visiting Lebanon and meeting dozens of relatives was a very emotional experience.
2) What is your dream trip?

To go to Kashmir and some parts of India. I also would like to visit several African countries
3) In what other country would you like to live?

Well, I have already lived in three countries and eight different cities. I now just want to stay around
here. But when I think of Provence or Tuscany, I feel like spending some time in France and Italy
4) What do you admire most about a person?

His or her character. What elevates or demeans a human being is not religion, gender, color, ethnicity
– none of that. It’s the character.
5) What do you hate most in a person?

I think an arrogant person looks ridiculous. I hate meanness, deceit, dishonest people.
6) Would you be happy without friends?

I would be unhappier without them.
7) What animal would you like to be?

The very same one I was destined to be. Our fate is to be human.
8) What do you do when you have nothing to do?

I get bored when I don’t do anything. Right now, after finishing a novel, I feel a bit like I’m hanging in
mid-air, aimless. But there’s always a book to read or re-read.
9) Who is your favorite film director?

I love Rossellini, Visconti and the directors of Italian neo-realism.
10) What character would you like to be?

It’s hard to say... I would be a terrible actor. But all the characters in my novels have a bit of me in them.

FORMER ASTRONAUT: MAN NOT ALONE IN UNIVERSE

(CNN) – Earth Day may fall later this week, but as far as former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell and
other UFO enthusiasts are concerned, the real story is happening elsewhere. Edgar Mitchell says "There
really is no doubt we are being visited." Mitchell, who was part of the 1971 Apollo 14 moon mission, asserted
Monday that extraterrestrial life exists, and that the truth is being concealed by the U.S. and other
governments. He delivered his remarks during an appearance at the National Press Club following the
conclusion of the fifth annual X – Conference, a meeting of UFO activists and researchers studying the
possibility of alien life forms. Mankind has long wondered if we’re "alone in the universe. But only in our
period do we really have evidence. No we’re not alone", Mitchell said. "Our destiny, in my opinion, and we
might as well get started with it, is to become a part of the planetary community… we should be ready to
reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there."
Mitchell grew up in Roswell, New Mexico, which some UFO believers maintain was the site of a UFO
crash in 1947. He said residents of his hometown "had been hushed and told not to talk about their
experience by military authorities. They had been warned of 'dire consequences’ if they did so."

IMPERIAL ANGKOR
At its height in the 13th century, the capital of the Khmer Empire was the most extensive urban complex
in the world. Researchers have been using imaging radar and other tools to establish its size. So far, they
have learned that Greater Angkor covered almost 400 square miles, roughly the area of the five boroughs of
New York City, with as many as 750,000 inhabitants. Most were rice farmers and laborers who worked the
giant jigsaw of fields. In the city center, perhaps 40,000 people – elites and farmers alike – lived within the
walls of Angkor Thom, a 3.5-square-mile enclosure with temples and a royal palace. Though the rainy
season usually brought ample water, the ability to store water in great reservoirs called barays and control its
flow gave Angkor an edge in times of drought or flood. But this engineered landscape required constant
maintenance. When the water system faltered, so did Angkor’s power.
In Southeast Asia, months of monsoon rains are followed by months of near drought. To ensure a
steady water supply, stabilize rice production, and control flooding, Khmer engineers built a network of
canals, moats, ponds and reservoirs. Massive earthworks slowed the wet-season deluge flowing from the
Kulen Hills, directing it into canals that fed the barays and temple moats.

Maya Angelou is hailed as one of the great voices of American literature and as a remarkable
Renaissance woman. Being a poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights
activist, producer and director, Dr. Angelou continues to travel the world making appearances, and spreading
her legendary wisdom. Born April 4, 1928 in Saint Louis, Missouri, Maya Angelou`s given name was
Marguerite Johnson. In her early twenties she was given the name Maya Angelou after her debut
performance as a dancer at the Purple Onion Cabaret. The author`s father, Bailey Johnson, was a naval
dietician, and her mother was Vivian Johnson. She has one sibling, a brother named Bailey after their father.
When she was about three years old, their parents divorced and the children were sent to live with their
grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Angelou claims that her grandmother, whom she called "momma", had a
deep-brooding love that hung over everything she touched. Growing up in Stamps, Angelou learned what it
was like to be a black girl in a world whose boundaries were set by whites. She learned what it meant to
have to wear old hand-me-downs from a white woman. And she also learned the humiliation of being refused
treatment by a white dentist. As a child, she always dreamed of waking to find her "nappy black hair"
metamorphosed to a long blond bob, because she felt life was better for a white girl than for a black girl.
Despite the odds, her grandmother instilled pride in Angelou with religion as an important element in their
home. After five years of being apart from their mother, the children were sent back to Saint Louis to be with
her. This move eventually took a turn for the worst, when Angelou was raped by her mother`s boyfriend. The
devastating act of violence committed against her caused her to become mute for nearly five years. She was
sent back to Stamps because no one could handle the grim state Angelou was in. With the constant help of
a woman named Mrs. Flowers, Angelou began to evolve into the young girl who had possessed the pride
and confidence she once had. Again in 1940, her brother and her were sent to San Francisco to live with
their mother. Life with her mother was a constant disorder. Living with her mother soon became too much for
her, so she ran away to be with her father and his girlfriend in their rundown trailer. Finding that life with him
was no better, she ended up living in a graveyard of wrecked cars that mainly housed homeless children. It
took her a month to get back home to her mother. Angelou`s dysfunctional childhood, spent moving back
and forth between her mother and grandmother, caused her to struggle with maturity. She became
determined to prove she was a woman and began to rush toward maturity. Angelou soon found herself
pregnant, and at the age of sixteen she delivered her son,Guy.

RUSSELL, BERTRAND (3rd Earl Russell) (1872–1970), philosopher and peace campaigner. Grandson
of Whig prime minister Lord John Russell, he established his reputation with his work at Cambridge on
mathematical logic, resulting in the publication (with A. N. Whitehead) of Principia Mathematica (1910–13).
Removed from his Cambridge lectureship in 1915 for his open opposition to World War I and his support for
conscientious objectors, he was imprisoned in 1918 for seditious writings. Although he was restored to the
Cambridge post in 1919, he gave it up to devote himself to writing. His later works include The Analysis of
Matter (1927) and History of Western Philosophy (1948), as well as a large number of broadcasts and works
of popular philosophy. These made him famous, and as a result he won the Nobel Prize for literature in
1950. An opponent of nuclear weapons, he was a co-founder of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
(CND) in 1958 and its first president, and was imprisoned in 1961 for his CND activities.

In recent years there have been suggestions that, instead of raising sheep, Australia should be raising
kangaroos, which (unlike sheep) are native Australian species that are adapted to Australian plants and
climates. It is claimed that the soft paws of kangaroos are less damaging to soil than are the hard hooves of
sheep. Kangaroo meat is lean, healthy, and (in my opinion) absolutely delicious. In addition to their meat,
kangaroos yield valuable hides1. All of those points are cited as arguments to support replacing sheep
herding with kangaroo ranching. However, that proposal faces real obstacles, both biological and cultural
ones. Unlike sheep, kangaroos are not her animals that will docilely obey one shepherd and a dog, or that
can be rounded up and marched obediently up ramps into trucks for shipment to the slaughterhouse.
Instead, kangaroo ranchers have to hire hunters to chase down and shoot their kangaroos one by one.
Further problems with kangaroos are their mobility and ability to jump fences: if you invest in promoting
growth of a kangaroo population on your property, and if your kangaroos perceive some inducement to move
(such as rain falling somewhere else), your valuable crop of kangaroos may end up 30 miles away on
somebody else’s property. Kangaroo meat is accepted in Germany and some is exported there, but the sale
of kangaroo meat faces cultural obstacles elsewhere. For Australians, kangaroo meat has little appeal, and
they continue to prefer their more traditional types of meat, especially lamb and beef. Many Australian animal
welfare advocates oppose kangaroo harvesting, not taking into consideration the fact that living conditions
and slaughter methods are much crueler for domestic sheep and cattle than for wild kangaroos. The U.S.
explicitly forbids the importation of kangaroo meat because we find the beasts cute, and because a
congressman’s wife heard that kangaroos are endangered. Some kangaroo species are indeed endangered,
but ironically the species actually harvested for meat are abundant pest animals in Australia.

A team from Northwestern University, Illinois, found that when you eat, not just how you eat, could make
a big difference. Scientists found that when mice ate at unusual hours, they put on twice as much weight,
despite exercising and eating as much as the other mice. The study, in the journal Obesity, is said to be the
first to show directly that there is a "wrong" time to eat. Recent studies have suggested that circadian
rhythms, the body’s internal clock, have a role in how our bodies use up energy. However, this had been
difficult to prove definitively. Deanna Arble, the main author of the study, said: "One of our research interests
is shift workers1, who tend to be overweight. This got us thinking that eating at the wrong time of day might
be contributing to weight gain". The researchers looked at two groups of mice over a six-week period. Both
groups were fed a high-fat diet, but at different times of the mice "waking cycle". One group of mice ate at
times when they would normally be asleep. They put on twice as much weight. This was despite the fact that
they did the same level of activity, and ate the same amount of food, as the other mice. The researchers
believe that the findings may have implications for people worried about their weight.
