CO NTRO VERSIA L CONSERVATION
The lora turtle is a sea tu rtle th a t’s in danger - and one of the reasons
is that people steal its eggs. A surprising solution is now being tried.
1
The beach at O stional in C osta Rica is one of only eight beaches that
the lora tu rtle uses to build nests for its young. W hen the beach is full of
turtles, it doesn’t just attract w ildlife lovers - it attracts people hoping to
m ake m oney too. Turtle eggs are quite a popular food, and people pay
quite a lot of cash for them because they believe that eating them helps
people to have children.
2
A lthough international trade in tu rtle products is illegal, people can
supply them to restaurants, and som e sell them illegally. On som e
beaches, more than 80% of lora turtle nests don’t survive because of
people. It w ould be disastrous for the tu rtle s if the problem got that bad
at O stional, one of the m ost im portant of all their nesting sites. So the
a uthorities there have taken the decision to allow people to help
them selves to a lim ited am ount of eggs.
T he idea is that allow ing people to take som e of the eggs for part of the
tim e will benefit both the turtles and needy unem ployed people.
R odrigo M orera Avila, head biologist at the O stional C onservation
Project, said: “T he com m un ity gets an incom e w hile bringing about
social change. The project has tw o sides - that of conservation, and
the social project.”
Som e people are not convinced, however, that the schem e will reduce
the num ber of eggs that are taken by people from the beach. W hen the
project began in S eptem ber 2013, people reported that they had seen
egg collectors fill enorm ous sacks with eggs.

HOW ADE ADEPITAN FINALLY MADE HIS PARENTS PROUD
Ade Adepitan is one of Britain’s best-know n Paralym pic athletes. To get anyw here in
sport, however, he had to ignore his parents’ advice. His father, in particular, thought
there was no future in d isability sport back in the 1980s. Ade recalls: “He was convinced
I w as ruining my life.”
It w asn’t the first tim e Ade had com e into conflict w ith his parents over the direction he
chose to take. T hey didn’t even w ant the teenage Ade to begin using a w heelchair. “My
parents thought me getting into a w he elch air w as like me giving up on walking,” says
Ade.
To Ade, however, the w heelchair represented a new freedom , not w orsening disability.
“The disabled kids were c o o le r...th e y got up to crazy things. W e'd be out in the streets
racing our chairs, playing basketball, travelling all over east London like a crew. It felt
like I belonged. W e all had the sam e problem s.”
Ade’s father disliked the idea of his son using a w he elch air so m uch that he threw it out.
Ade retrieved it and hid it in the garden so that he could continue using it outside the
house instead of the leg supports he’d had to use since getting the disease polio as a
young child.
Perhaps it’s not surprising how m uch Ade’s father tried to control his life when you
consider the disappointm ents in his own life. He and his m other took Ade to London
from N igeria w hen he was three because they thought a boy with polio w ould have a
better life there. The move didn’t com e w ithout sacrifices. They had to leave Ade’s sister
behind for several years and the Adepitans w ere unable to continue th eir teaching
careers in the UK. Mr Adepitan found him self doing cleaning jobs. To him, academ ic
success w as the key to a better life for Ade.
Full parental acceptance of Ade’s life choices finally cam e after Ade m ade it to the
Sydney Paralym pics as a m em ber of the British basketball team and his m other and
father saw him in broadcasts of the opening cerem ony and com petition. “W hen I cam e
back Dad w as crying and he gave me a big hug and he realised this is w hat I w anted to
do. W e were frien ds again.”
So w hat does Ade think w ould m ost Improve w he elch air users’ lives today? His answ er
to that is a disabled a dvisor to the governm ent on public transport. “ I used to get the
train to w ork and it was a nightm are - and I’m fit and strong and have good w heelchair
skills. S om etim es I threw my chair onto the train. People w ould see a chair flying past
them and me falling on the floor to get on. T hat should not be the way.”

type of w ork often involves lifting som e very heavy pieces, so can put workers
in danger of developing health problem s or having quite serious accidents.

So could robotic suits be the answ er? H um an-shaped m achines that people

and for A m erican soldiers w ho have to carry big loads. Now researchers are
designing sim ilar suits, known as ‘exoskeletons’, for industry. The European

ANN A FREUD
M any of the descendants of Sigm und Freud - perhaps the m ost fam ous
psychologist in history - have also found fam e through th eir w ork in Britain. His
grandson Lucian, for exam ple, was a respected painter, and Lucian’s m ulti-talented
brother C lem ent had successful careers as an author, a m em ber of parliam ent and a
chef. C lem en t’s daughter, Em m a, has ensured the Freud nam e rem ains in the public
eye through her w ork as a TV and radio presenter. O nly one Freud, however,
follow ed closely in S igm und’s footsteps - his daughter Anna.
A nna Freud trained as a teacher before setting up her own nursery school in London
during the Second W orld War. The school w as as m uch a social service as a place of
education - it provided a hom e for children w ho had been m ade hom eless in the
bom bing of London. A nna realised that a lot of these children needed particular
attention because th eir m others were busy doing jobs norm ally filled by men w ho
w ere serving in the arm ed forces. By putting the children into groups of five or six and
providing a teacher especially for each group, A nna created alternative fam ilies for
her pupils. She understood the im portance of healthy relationships in early life for
good m ental health in later childhood and adulthood.
From the age of 13, A nna had regularly taken p art in discussions with her father on
the type of therapy he developed, known as psychoanalysis. It’s even possible that
he used her as a patient for practising his techniques. No doubt influenced by her
fa th e r’s ideas, A nna believed in observing and docum enting every aspect of her
pupils’ behaviour. She w anted to research norm al and abnorm al behaviour in
children and also to study the effects of the w ar on them . H er w ork show ed how
children’s play can reveal th eir em otional troubles. There w as one boy at the school,
for exam ple, called Bertie, w hose father had been killed by a bom b dropped from a
plane. Bertie built houses from paper and dropped toys on them again and again. In
this gam e, the people in the houses always escaped unharm ed. A lthough Bertie
m ade him self do this repeatedly, he didn’t enjoy it. A nna and her colleagues noticed
that Bertie finally stopped re-creating the incident in w hich his father died w hen he
got the chance to talk about it.
By the tim e she died in 1982, A nna Freud’s w ork had strongly influenced the way
m any im portant institutions treat children. H ospitals had extended visiting hours for
children’s w ards in response to the kind of research she had done and co urts had
begun to use screens and video cam eras to allow children to give evidence in a less
frightening environm ent than a crim inal courtroom .

C ookisto is now m uch more than a student project. W ithin a few m onths,
12,000 interested cooks, known as “C ookistas” registered on the site to sell
th eir specialities. M any of them say it’s not just about money. One C ookista,
w ho began cooking for cash after losing her job, said: “ Every day I feel proud
helping others. And the best reward I can get is when people tell me how much
they like my food.”
As with m any other online services, m aps are available to show users w hat is
available locally and custom ers can decide w hich C ookista to use by looking at
reviews w ritten by o the r users. C ookisto is less im personal than som e online
services, though. The person w ho cooked your dish usually delivers it in person
(and m ay include a free dessert!) It’s therefore not only business relationships
that develop through it, but also a sense of com m unity.
Becoming a Cookisto customer, of course, involves trust. The website administrators

do not check cleanliness standards in its cooks’ kitchens, or w hat ingredients they
use. It’s not clear, then, whether Cookisto can work in places with very strict laws on
the sale of food. Even so, Cookisto has already expanded beyond its home city of
Athens to London, where it is likely to be popular with the city’s large student
population.

MARIA’S RISE TO THE TOP
W hen M aria Toorpakai W azir found herself playing squash on a co urt surrounded by
gunm en to protect her, she knew she had to change her situation. The gunm en had been
provided by the Pakistani Squash Federation, w hich had also set up a security base next
to her house. The reason? A girl playing sp ort w ent against the cultural traditions of her
area, w here it w as unusual for a girl even to w ear sports clothes.
M aria had always enjoyed physical pursuits, no m atter how m uch she suffered because of
them . In fact, she regularly got into fights as a little girl. “ My hands, elbows, knees w ere
always bleeding. My eyebrows and face w ere always swollen,” says the 22-year-old.
People expected boys, not girls, to behave the way M aria d id ...s o she presented herself
as one. She cut her hair. She burned her fem inine clothes and began w earing her
bro the r’s instead. W hen she was 12, M aria’s father decided to encourage her to use her
energy in a positive way through sport. He arranged for her to train as a weightlifter, telling
the coaches and other participants that she was a boy to avoid any em barrassm ent.
W ithin a few m onths, she had won her first tournam ent.
It w as again M aria’s father w ho got her interested in squash - but only because
som ebody suggested she w ould grow fat and fail to get taller if she continued w eightlifting.
Fortunately, M aria w as just as happy hitting balls as lifting w eights. “ I liked how the kids
had so much determ ination, the beautiful racquets and balls, and the kit,” she says.
M aria’s father enrolled her at a squash academ y run by the Pakistani A ir Force and once
m ore they both pretended she w as m ale. Soon, however, the truth w as discovered - and
the result was terrible verbal bullying. It didn’t affect M aria’s determ ination to succeed,
however, and she often practised alone from m orning until evening. “ My hands were
swollen, bruised and bleeding, but I still kept playing. I locked m yself away, trying to create
my own shots.”
M aria won several cham pionships for squash juniors and turned professional in 2006. Her
success was noticed by the president of Pakistan, w ho gave her a special award. Of course,
her growing fam e also attracted the attention of traditionalists w ho don’t believe Pakistani
girls should com pete as sportspeople. At one point som eone put a note on M aria’s father
car ordering him to stop her playing squash or face unpleasant ‘consequences’.
To stay as safe as possible, M aria began to practise in her room - but caused herself so
m any painful injuries that her concerned father decided the solution w as to move. M aria
em ailed squash academ ies all over the w orld asking for th eir help. Again, her
determ ination paid off. Since 2011 she has been training in C anada with a fo rm e r w orld
num ber one player and is now herself one of the w o rld ’s top 50 players.

THE ELEPHANT ORCHESTRA
They say elephants never forget. Now w e’ve discovered a nother surprising skill
that they possess - m usical ability.
Elephants in T hailand have been living closely w ith people for a long tim e.
T h a t’s because Thai elephants used to be a key part of industries that involved
transporting resources. W orking elephants are m uch less com m on in the 21st
century - but that m eans few er people are taking responsibility for them .
As a result, a num ber of elephant sanctuaries have opened in Thailand. At one

of the sanctuaries, one of the co nservationists becam e convinced that
elephants enjoy listening to m usic and he began to w onder if they w ould enjoy
playing m usic too. To answ er th a t question, he asked a New York-based
scientist and m usician called David S oldier to create giant, super-strong
m usical instrum ents especially for them .
David m anaged to m ake large m etal versions of traditional Thai instrum ents for
the elephants - but he didn’t th ink it w ould be easy to get elephants to produce
music. He said: “ I thought, ‘W e’re going to have to give them a banana every
tim e they play a n o te ...’. It w as nothing like th a t at all. I w ould play the
instrum ent, hand an elephant the stick and m aybe point. T h a t’s it. T hey were
playing w ithin a few m inutes.”
No elephant is m ade to play music. Just as with people, how m uch elephants
like m usic varies from individual to individual. A nother w ay they resem ble us is
that they are highly social. Those that like playing m usic seem to p articularly
enjoy doing it in a group. Som e elephants focus on particular instrum ents. One
even becam e able to play three drum s at the sam e tim e and keep rhythm!

IN THE BROODING WILD
Two m en occupied the back room of V ictor G agnon’s store. O ne w as the owner, w ho
w as sm all and quick-thinking, and had an expression on his dark face indicating
anger. He w as sitting by the fire holding his hands out to the w arm th. The other man
w as beside the window. N am ed Jean, he w as incredibly tall and w earing grey
w olfskin from head to foot. His w ide shoulders were broadened so much by the fur
that he looked a giant. Below his long black hair, his face w as as som bre and strong
as the w orld to w hich he belonged.
The room was untidy. The bed stood at one end and the blankets on it looked as
though they had not been straightened for w eeks. Victor w as looking down at a
w ooden container w hich stood at the big m an's feet.
‘And w hy didn't she com e along with you?”
“M aybe because she’s cleverer than any of us. M aybe because I didn’t w ant her to.
There’s som ething we need to discuss, Victor.” The big man spoke quite calmly, but
his calm ness had a dark quality.
“C leverer indeed!” said Victor, ignoring the last part of the o th e r’s words.
“That's w hat I said,” w ent on the giant. “ Davia reckoned it w asn’t safe to just
disappear in case those guys discover th ey’ve been robbed of th eir goods. She’s
staying around to put them off the trail. They all enjoy being with her and aren’t likely
to suspect w ho ’s got the stuff w hile she’s around.”
V ictor nodded and began to look less angry. He knew Davia w ould serve him well.
“But that isn’t the only reason,” the big m an continued. “ I w anted her to stay. W e need
to talk in private, V ictor G agnon. It’s nearly three years since you and Davia w ent into
business together. You said you’d m arry her w hen you were independent of the
company. You said it didn’t w ant m arried traders on its books. A nd you had no money.
T h a t’s w hat you said. T hings are different now, so w hen are you going to m ake her
your w ife?”
“You're pretty rude,” said Victor, with an unpleasant laugh.
“W e speak our m inds in these parts,” answ ered Jean. “ Davia is now as sick of your
gam e as me. She didn’t go into it for an adventure, but to please you. I’ve been
w atching you to m ake sure you treat her well. And th a t’s w hy I’ve done all your d irty
w ork in this latest schem e. Now w e’ve got the stuff, you're going to do the right thing

INTRODUCING LAYLA
The m ain news is that there’s a new pet in the family. W e don’t
know w hat breed she is, but she has beautiful brown curly hair
and is full of energy. My daughter Suzie asked to adopt her quite
a w hile ago. She had been running wild near the a irp o rt for som e

shelter looked after her for a few m onths and then let us adopt
her.

A GROUNDBREAKING MUSICIAN
G raduating from the Royal C ollege of M usic in London is an achievem ent for
anyone - but N icholas M cC arthy needed som e extra determ ination to succeed
there.
As som eone w ho w as born with only one arm , N icholas M cC arthy never saw
him self as a piano player - until he saw a friend playing som e Beethoven when
he w as 14. The beauty of the piece m ade such an im pression on him that he
decided he w anted to becom e a pianist him self.
However, N icholas says nobody believed in him as much as he did. Even his
headteacher failed to see his potential, telling him his d isability w ould always
hold him back. Rather than taking his w ords to heart, N icholas becam e more
determ ined to prove people wrong. He bought a cheap electronic keyboard and
taught him self the basics with it before beginning actual piano lessons.
Even after he show ed such com m itm ent to the instrum ent, m usic schools failed
to take him seriously. Eventually he stopped telling the schools about his
d isability in his applications. T hat way, he could be judged on the q uality of his
perform ance alone w hen invited to an audition.
His strategy paid off. T he talented teenager w on a place at the G uildhall School
of Music, and then the Royal C ollege of M usic. He becam e the first one-handed
pianist to graduate from that prestigious school in all its 130 years, focusing on
pieces w ritten for one hand by com posers such as M aurice Ravel, Benjam in
Britten and Sergei Prokofiev.

No. 15 w as a narrow, high house with very steep stairs, but Elsie was fit enough to
use them , although she com plained about the num ber of tim es she had to go up and

clothing in the kitchen to save them selves from u nnecessary journeys.
Elsie w ent dow nstairs once more, and sat at a co rn er of the new spaper-covered
kitchen table to drink tea and eat bread and jam .
“That's the doo rb ell!”
Mrs Palm er lifted herself out of her chair, from w hich she had been reading the

W hatever is the w orld com ing to?”
“That'll be the W illiam ses, and about tim e too. You'll have to give me a hand to get the
luggage upstairs later, Elsie, but I'll give them supper first.”

voice saying: “G ood evening. You've brought us som e w et weather, I'm afraid... You

Elsie ran to the back kitchen, put on her w aterproof coat and hat and slipped out
through the side door into a wet, cold autum n evening.
“O o h!” She turned up the collar of the coat, and pushed her gloveless hands deep
into her pockets as she hurried along the pavem ent. Every now and then a noisy
tram m ade its w ay along the broad suburban road. O nly a few shops w ere lit. M ost of
the buildings on both sides were houses that displayed a sign or a card saying
“ Room s available”
R ight at the end of the street were the blue-coloured lights of the Palace C inem a. “I

“ I had to help mother, of course. And if you w ant to know, I ought to be there now.”
She laughed up at him naughtily.
“C om e on in,” he said, pulling her hand through his arm.
In the past tw o years she had gradually discovered that she had a pow er over men

She did not know why boys so often w anted to go out w ith her. At first she had

FRANKIE AND THE RECORD SELLERS
W hat future do record shops have now that it’s becom e norm al for people to get their
m usic in the form of M P3 dow nloads? M any m usicians w ho are trying to m ake a
nam e for them selves don’t even try to sell th eir m usic; instead they m ake it available
for free dow nloading in the hope that people will pay for fu rth e r music, or to see them
live. Even som e established stars occasionally offer free songs to the Internet-using
public to raise interest in th e ir work.
Perhaps the record store still has a place in the 21st century, however, judging by the
sto ry of ‘Frankie and the H eartstrings’. This band from S underland in north-east
England, w ho have had only m inor com m ercial success, w anted to sell th eir m usic
the traditional w ay w hen they released their second album . They liked the idea of
encouraging younger people to understand the joy of ow ning m usic in a physical
form , including appreciating the a rtw o rk on the cover. To th eir alarm , however, they
realised there were very few m usic shops left in British high streets. T he ir solution
w as to open th eir very own shop. Supported by local politicians in th eir hom e town,
they took over a form er tourist inform ation centre and renam ed it Pop Rees.
T he original intention w as to keep the shop open for just tw o w eeks to publicise the
release of th e ir album , and also to draw attention to the disappearance of places
w here you can buy m usic on vinyl records or in other physical form s. T he store
becam e so popular, however, that It has becom e perm anent. In fact four of the five
band m em bers w ork there full-tim e, on top of their m usic careers. W ithout Pop Rees,
they adm it they w ould have to find w ork outside the m usic industry altogether. They
lost th eir recording contract after th e ir second album failed to m ake the Top 40, and
the only tim e th eir m usic brought them significant financial rewards w as w hen a
pizza com pany used one of their songs in a TV ad. Even the m oney from that kept
