China has charged ahead with a bold effort to remake the way that government-backed money
works, rolling out its own digital currency with different qualities than cash or digital deposits. The
country’s central bank started testing a new electronic currency, which was named electronic
Chinese yuan or eCNY, last year in four cities and have recently expanded those trials to bigger
cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, according to government presentations. No other major power
is as far along with a homegrown digital currency.
The effort is one of several by central banks around the world to try new forms of digital
money that can move faster and give even the most disadvantaged people access to online financial
tools. Digital currencies created by central banks give governments more of a financial grip. These
currencies can enable direct handouts of money that expire if not used by a particular date and can
make it easier for governments to track financial transactions to stamp out tax evasion and crack
down on dissidents.
If the eCNY is successful, it will give the central bank new powers, including novel types of
monetary policy to help the economy grow. In one possibility that economists have discussed, a
central bank could program its digital currency to slowly lose value so that consumers are
encouraged to spend it immediately. Also, the eCNY could immediately give the Chinese government
more power to monitor finance flows because a digital currency system can record every
transaction.

The landscape where the São Francisco River enters the Atlantic Ocean seems so out of place it
makes one wonder if this is still coastal Brazil. White sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see;
clusters of cashew trees throw flickering shadows like ocean waves on the sand.
Here among these shifting dunes formerly enslaved men and women founded the Pixaim
Quilombo near the mouth of the river. They developed a reliable sustainable lifestyle and community
well attuned to the dynamic, always changing estuary.
But it is a lifestyle utterly dependent on the São Francisco River; reliant on the planting of rice
in marshes downstream and on catching plentiful freshwater fish upstream. Now, varied and
growing water demands by upstream dams and other users are threatening the long-established
quilombo lifestyle — demands that experts predict will worsen severely in Brazil’s Northeast.
“We used to catch fish that were meters long, but now you have to go much farther up the river
to find them,” remembers 84-year-old Aladim, who lives in Pixaim. “The fish left, so the people left,”
he remarks.

The body of officers representing the civil authority of government is known as police. Police
typically are responsible for maintaining public order and safety, enforcing the law, and preventing,
detecting, and investigating criminal activities. These functions are known as policing. Police are
often also entrusted with various licensing and regulatory activities. However, police scholars have
criticized this popular understanding of the word “police” — that it refers to members of a public
organization having the legal competence to maintain order and enforce the law — for two reasons.
First, it defines police by their ends rather than by the specific means that they use to achieve their
goals. Second, the variety of situations in which police are asked to intervene is much greater than
law enforcement and order maintenance.
There is now a consensus among researchers that the common feature among all the different
agencies engaged in policing is the legal competence to enforce coercive, nonnegotiable measures
to resolve problematic situations. Such situations are characterized by their potential for harm and
the need to solve them urgently before they develop that potential. Hence, the actual use of coercion
or the threat of using it allows police to put a quick, nonnegotiated, and conclusive end to
problematic situations.

In a nutshell, police officers maintain law and order, protect the general public, investigate
crimes and prevent criminal activity from happening.
If you become a police officer, your career will be all about crime prevention, prosecution and
punishment. Policing is such a varied career path that you could find yourself doing all kinds of
activities.
You might be responsible for preventing heinous crimes and stopping dangerous criminal
groups, such as organised crime syndicates. Alternatively, you might be working to diminish anti-
social behaviour, or you might be taking part in counter-terrorism activities.
Moreover, you might be responsible for investigating crimes against people and their property,
or maintaining public peace and order at large events, public gatherings and protests.
At all times, police officers must make sure their actions comply with current legislation.
Consequently, police officers must keep up to date with the latest developments in crime detection
and prevention.

As technology continues to reshape nearly every sector of society, it is also transforming police
work in the 21st century. Law enforcement leaders can now count on an arsenal of high-tech
systems and tools that are designed to enhance public safety, catch criminals and save lives.
One of their options is the use of biometrics. Police have been using fingerprints to identify
people for over a century. Now, in addition to facial recognition and DNA, there is an ever-expanding
array of biometric characteristics being utilized by law enforcement and the intelligence community.
These include voice recognition, palmprints, wrist veins, iris recognition, and even heartbeats.
With comprehensive electronic databases now in place to more effectively use DNA and other
biometric data, even the use of fingerprints to identify suspects has gone high-tech. For example, a
CNBC report explains how police in London can now use a mobile INK (Identity Not Known)
biometrics device to scan a suspect’s fingerprints and in many cases reveal their identity within 60
seconds.

1 The same nerves involved in the fight-or-flight
response can cause permanent damage to the cells
responsible for producing hair color in mice, scientists
4 have found. There is some truth to the longstanding
anecdote that your locks can lose color when you’re
stressed.
7 A team of researchers has found that in mice,
stressful events damage the stem cells that are responsible
for producing pigment in hair. These stem cells, found near
10 the base of each hair follicle, differentiate to form more
specialized cells called melanocytes, which generate the
brown, black, red and yellow hues in hair and skin. Stress
13 makes the stem cells differentiate faster, exhausting their
number and resulting in strands that are more likely to be
transparent — gray.
16 The study also found that the sympathetic nervous
system, which prepares the body to respond to threats,
plays a major role in the graying process. “Normally, the
19 sympathetic nervous system is an emergency system for
fight or flight, and it is supposed to be very beneficial or, at
the very least, its effects are supposed to be transient and
22 reversible,” said Ya-Chieh Hsu.

Stress affects the whole body, so the researchers
had to do some investigation to figure out which
25 physiological system was conveying its effects to hair
follicles. The findings provide the first scientific link
between stress and hair graying. The new study is an
28 important step toward understanding the role of stress on
various tissues.

1 In Hollywood, a typical medium-sized town in the
American state of Florida, the Police Department (PD)
values the development of its community’s youth. The
4 agency recognizes the importance of raising young people
to become upstanding, law-abiding citizens. The town
serves as home to over 20,000 youth, some of whom live
7 in underprivileged areas and need positive role models.
Officers identified this hardship and began making
a difference in many kids’ lives when the department
10 established its Cops Mentoring Kids program during the
2015-2016 academic year. This initiative connects police
officers who serve as mentors with at-risk students in local

13 schools.
Mentoring provides an avenue to change future
generations’ mind-sets. Countering and preventing
16 recruitment efforts by criminal organizations should
concern everyone. Adolescents trying to find their place in
the world become most vulnerable to enticement by these
19 groups. Building young people’s self-esteem and values
provides resilience against criminal predators’
misguidance.

The pandemic has exposed a contradiction in modern society. We are more connected than ever
– proven by the speed and truly global spread of the virus; nevertheless, we are also deeply divided.
Today’s connectedness, enforced by social distancing, has pushed the role of technology in
every aspect of our lives to a new level. The tech industry is now in a challenging space: trapped
between the increasing politicization of technology, the still superficial social debate around its
impact and the slow adaptation of appropriate legislation. Right now, the industry needs to enable
and push forward this ethical debate, recognizing its responsibility in this historic moment.
The first step is to end the myth of tech neutrality. We need to acknowledge that technology is
caught between private economic interests and its social value. Some tech business models, for
example, prioritize commodification of data or advertising revenue over the social value of their
services — the sharing of knowledge, connecting people, etc.
The social impact of tech is deeper than we usually perceive and most of the time invisible to us.
Digital architecture determines, increasingly, social interactions in our digital society. An example of
this is the invisible influence of search engine and social media algorithms, the results of which
shape our understanding of the world.
In this moment of crisis, technology can play a fundamental role in overcoming the economic
recession and reducing the systemic injustices that have been exposed. Social exclusion - the next
pandemic.

A Brazilian company has agreed to pay nearly $ 7 billion in compensation after a dam collapsed
at one of its mines in Brazil two years ago, killing 270 people and causing huge damage to the local
environment. The settlement with the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, which was announced on
Thursday, is the largest in the country’s history, according to local media.
The Court of Justice of Minas Gerais mediated the agreement, which will provide funds for
affected communities, emergency aid and resources for urban mobility. In January 2019, a dam
holding waste water from the company’s iron ore mine in the town of Brumadinho burst, burying the
workers’ cafeteria and dozens of homes under a toxic wave of sludge. It also polluted local rivers.
Minas Gerais, a state whose name translates to “general mines”, is a mining hub in the
southeast of Brazil. The 2019 disaster came after another mining dam in the state burst in
November 2015, inundating the small village of Mariana and killing 19 people.
“Our company is committed to fully repair and compensate the damage caused by the tragedy in
Brumadinho and to increasingly contribute to the improvement and development of the communities
in which we operate,” the company’s CEO said in a statement.
In 2016, a mining company reached a deal with the Brazilian government to pay up to 24 billion
reais ($ 6,2 billion) over the Mariana dam collapse.
The disasters, which left thousands of families in mourning, have renewed scrutiny of the
company’s practices and of environmental regulations in Minas Gerais. The company involved in the
Brumadinho disaster has said that since the latest breach two years ago, it has tried to work with
“the impacted families, providing assistance to restore their dignity, well-being and livelihoods.”
“In addition to meeting the most immediate needs of the affected people and regions, it is also
working to deliver projects that promote lasting change to recover communities and benefit the
population effectively,” the company said in its statement.

A deep freeze this week in the Lone Star state, which relies on electricity to heat many homes, is
causing power demand to skyrocket. At the same time, natural gas, coal, wind and nuclear facilities
in Texas have been knocked offline by the unthinkably low temperatures.
“The extreme cold is causing the entire system to freeze up,” said Jason Bordoff, director of
Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. “All sources of energy are underperforming
in the extreme cold because they’re not designed to handle these unusual conditions.”
The ripple effects are being felt around the nation as Texas’ prolific oil-and-gas industry
stumbles.
It’s striking that these power outages are happening in a state with abundant energy resources.
Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as
Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics.
Wind power is also booming in Texas, which produced about 28% of all the US wind-powered
electricity in 2019, the EIA said. But the problem is that not only is Texas an energy superpower, it
tends to be an above-average temperature state. That means its infrastructure is ill-prepared for the
cold spell currently wreaking havoc. And the consequences are being felt by millions.
Critics of renewable energy have pointed out that wind turbines have frozen or needed to be
shut down due to the extreme weather.
Even though other places with colder weather (like Iowa and Denmark) rely on wind for even
larger shares of power, experts said the turbines in Texas were not winterized for the unexpected
freeze.
But this is not just about wind turbines going down. Natural gas and coal-fired power plants
need water to stay online. Yet those water facilities froze in the cold temperatures and others lost
access to the electricity they require to operate.
It’s too early to definitively say what went wrong in Texas and how to prevent similar outages.
More information will need to be released by state authorities. Still, some experts say the criticism
of wind power appears overdone already. “In terms of the blame game, the focus on wind is a red
herring. It’s more of a political issue than what is causing the power problems on the grid,” said Dan
Cohan, associate professor of environmental engineering at Rice University.
The energy crisis in Texas raises also questions about the nature of the state’s deregulated and
decentralized electric grid. Unlike other states, Texas has made a conscious decision to isolate its
grid from the rest of the country.
That means that when things are running smoothly, Texas can’t export excess power to
neighboring states. And in the current crisis, it can’t import power either.
