Harvard study: Men want powerful jobs more than women
By Justine Hofherr, Boston.com Staff | 09.29.15

  Let’s get one thing straight: Women believe they are as capable as men to attain and perform high-level leadership positions at work. Many just don’t want them as much, according to new research from Harvard Business School.
  The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), includes nine studies conducted on high-achieving groups. Professor Francesca Gino, doctoral student Caroline Wilmuth, and associate professor Alison Wood Brooks (all of HBS) surveyed over 4,000 male and female employees from different industries, and found a big gap between the professional objectives of men and women.
  While women reported having twice as many “life goals” as men - desired achievements that ranged from having strong relationships, marriage, a meaningful career, and family - fewer were focused on professional power, which women were more likely to associate with negative outcomes like stress and conflict.
  “This is a snapshot of where our culture is right now", Brooks told Boston.com. “If we these questions 50 years ago, or in another 50 years, we might see dramatically different results. Women are pursuing careers on par with men, yet women are still a little more responsible for things at home.”

What Causes a Super Blood Moon?
By Daniel Victor, Sept, 25, 2015. 

   A rare astronomical phenomenon Sunday night will produce a moon that will appear slightly bigger  usual and have a reddish hue, an event known as a super blood moon. 
  It’s a combination of curiosities that hasn’t  since 1982, and won’t happen again  2033. A so-called supermoon, which occurs when the moon is closest to earth in its orbit, will coincide with a lunar eclipse, leaving the moon in Earth’s shadow. Individually, the two phenomena are not uncommon, but they do not align often. 
  Most people are unlikely to detect the larger size of the supermoon. It may appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter, but the difference is subtle to the plain eye. But the reddish tint from the lunar eclipse is likely to be visible throughout much of North America, especially on the East Coast.
  “You’re basically seeing all of the sunrises and sunsets across the world, all at once, being reflected off the surface of the moon,” said Dr. Sarah Noble, a program scientist at NASA.

[…] We Brazilians are famous for being expressive — not just vocally, but gesturally (after all, what’s music without some dancing to go with it?). So where does this talent for talking with our hands come from? Perhaps we inherited it from our Italian great-grandmothers (there have been several waves of Italian immigration to Brazil over the last century-and-a-half); or maybe it comes from our even older African and Portuguese roots. One thing is certain: We Brazilians have invented many gestures that are unique to our country. […]

Sahar Zand (Iran): Increasing numbers of young Iranian couples are now living together before marriage, something which would have been unthinkable a generation ago and is still illegal. Dating apps like Tinder are starting to take off in Tehran and it's suddenly become fashionable for some middle-class girls in the capital to have lots of different boyfriends and to flag up their regularly changing relationship status on social media.

Read the text on climate change and answer question


According to all measurements, climate change is happening. But scientists appears to be split on what to do about it. Unfortunately, scientists do not all agree about the causes of global warming. In a recent book, two scientists – Fred Singer, a climate physicist, and Dennis Avery, a biologist – argue that the warming currently observed around the world is part of a 1,500-year cycle in solar energy. Singer, an outspoken critic of the idea that humans are warming the planet, and Avery, believe that a well established, 1,500 year cycle in the Earth’s climate can explain most of the global warming that has taken place in the last 100 years. We are currently in an upswing, getting back on the downswing, and getting colder again. They say that efforts to slow down the current warming by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases are at best pointless, or at worst economically damaging. This, of course, is not what the fourth assessment report of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said a few weeks ago. That report from UN climate science working group has concluded that it is likely that rising greenhouse gas concentrations have caused most recent warming and that, depending on our actions now to slow he growth of emissions, warming by 2100 will probably be between about 1.5ºC and 6º C. So, which scientists tell us the truth?
