Rain Is Coming to Burning Los Angeles and Will Bring Its Own Risks
Rain is forecast to begin as soon as Saturday
afternoon and to continue as late as Monday evening, says
meteorologist Kristan Lund of the National Weather Service’s
Los Angeles office. The area desperately needs the
precipitation, but experts are warily monitoring the situation
because rain poses its own risks in recently burned areas—
most notably the potential occurrence of mudslides and similar
hazards. “Rain is good because we’ve been so dry,” Lund
says. “However, if we get heavier rain rates or we get the
thunderstorms, it’s actually a lot more dangerous because you
can get debris flows.”
Fires do a couple of different things to the landscape
that can increase the risk of burned material, soil and detritus
hurtling out of control. When fires burn hot or long enough, they
leave an invisible layer of waxy material just under the surface
of the ground. This develops from decomposing leaves and
other organic material, which contain naturally hydrophobic or
water-repellent compounds. Fire can vaporize this litter, and
the resulting gas seeps into the upper soil—where it quickly
cools and condenses, forming the slippery layer.
When rain falls on ground that has been affected by
this phenomenon, it can’t sink beyond the hydrophobic layer—
so the water flows away, often hauling debris with it. “All of the
trees, branches, everything that’s been burned—unfortunately,
if it rains, that stuff just floats,” Lund says. “It’s really
concerning.” Even a fire that isn’t severe enough to create a
hydrophobic layer can still cause debris flows, says Danielle
Touma, a climate scientist at the University of Texas at Austin.
Under normal conditions, trees and other plants usually trap
some rain above the surface, slowing the water’s downward
journey. But on freshly burned land there’s much less greenery
to interfere; all the rain immediately hits the ground. [...]
Fortunately, the rain should also help firefighters tame
the blazes that remain active. The largest, the Palisades Fire,
is currently 77 percent contained. The second largest, the
Eaton Fire, is 95 percent contained. The Hughes Fire is third
largest and only 56 percent contained. A fire can be fully
contained but still burning. The containment percentage refers
to the amount of the perimeter that has barriers that firefighters
expect will prevent further spread.

In teaching, “fidelity” refers to closely following specific
procedures for how to teach a lesson or respond to student
behavior. For example, following a curriculum to fidelity
might mean a teacher is required to read from a script, use a
certain tone or expression, or teach from a designated page
in a guidebook on a specific day. While prevalent across
the country, this kind of micromanaging is more common in
schools that serve low-income and minority students.
I’m a former elementary school teacher in the United
States and I now study how teachers make ethical decisions.
This includes how they observe their students and try to help
them – regardless of whether their decisions align with a
prescribed curriculum.
In a recent study, I interviewed 12 teachers about how
they deal with problems that arise in the classroom every day.
These teachers discussed how they came up with responses
based on best practices they had learned from their own
experience as teachers. They also spoke of the knowledge
acquired in professional development courses.
Of the nine who worked in public schools, however, all
but one of the teachers were influenced by pressure to follow
a curriculum to fidelity. This kindergarten teacher described
how, when she was teaching preschool, her students who
lived in a rural area did not understand references to crossing
busy city streets in a book she was required to read as part
of the curriculum. She brought her students outside to the
parking lot to practice street crossing and listen to the noises
of local traffic. This was not part of the curriculum. Had the
teacher followed the curriculum strictly, the students may not
have been able to grasp the lesson from the book.
Research shows that flexibility in teaching methods and
curricula allows teachers and students to participate more
fully in the learning process – and even promotes a more
democratic society. Instead of mandating that teachers stick
to the curriculum word for word, schools should trust teachers
and ask why they want to teach. Working with teachers should
begin with the belief in their good intentions.

Uses of AI in Education
In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Education released a
report titled Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and
Learning: Insights and Recommendations. The department had
conducted listening sessions in 2022 with more than 700 people,
including educators and parents, to gauge their views on AI. The
report noted that “constituents believe that action is required now
in order to get ahead of the expected increase of AI in education
technology – and they want to roll up their sleeves and start
working together.” People expressed anxiety about “future
potential risks” with AI but also felt that “AI may enable achieving
educational priorities in better ways, at scale, and with lower
costs.
AI could serve – or is already serving – in several teachingand-learning roles, for instance:
instructional assistants: AI’s ability to conduct human-like
conversations opens up possibilities for adaptive tutoring or
instructional assistants that can help explain difficult concepts to
students. AI-based feedback systems can offer constructive
critiques on student writing, which can help students fine-tune
their writing skills. Some research also suggests certain kinds of
prompts can help children generate more fruitful questions about
learning. AI models might also support customized learning for
students with disabilities and provide translation for English
language learners; and teaching assistants: AI might tackle some
of the administrative tasks that keep teachers from investing more
time with their peers or students. Early uses include automated
routine tasks such as drafting lesson plans, creating differentiated
materials, designing worksheets, developing quizzes, and
exploring ways of explaining complicated academic materials. AI
can also provide educators with recommendations to meet
student needs and help teachers reflect, plan, and improve their
practice.
Along with these potential benefits come some difficult
challenges and risks the education community must navigate. For
example, both teachers and students face the risk of becoming
overly reliant on AI-driven technology. For students, this could
stifle learning, especially the development of critical thinking. This
challenge extends to educators as well. While AI can expedite
lesson-plan generation, speed does not equate to quality.
Teachers may be tempted to accept the initial AI-generated
content rather than devote time to reviewing and refining it for
optimal educational value.
In light of these challenges, the Department of Education has
stressed the importance of keeping “humans in the loop” when
using AI, particularly when the output might be used to inform a
decision. As the department encouraged in its 2023 report,
teachers, learners, and others need to retain their agency. AI
cannot “replace a teacher, a guardian, or an education leader as
the custodian of their students’ learning,” the report stressed.

OpenAI’s GPT-4 Scores in the Top 1% of Creative Thinking
By Erik Guzik
Of all the forms of human intellect that one might expect
artificial intelligence to emulate, few people would likely place
creativity at the top of their list. Creativity is wonderfully
mysterious—and frustratingly fleeting. It defines us as human
beings—and seemingly defies the cold logic that lies behind the
silicon curtain of machines. Yet, the use of AI for creative
endeavors is now growing.
New AI tools like DALL-E and Midjourney are increasingly part
of creative production, and some have started to win awards for
their creative output. The growing impact is both social and
economic—as just one example, the potential of AI to generate
new, creative content is a defining flashpoint behind the
Hollywood writers’ strike.
And if our recent study into the striking originality of AI is any
indication, the emergence of AI-based creativity—along with
examples of both its promise and peril—is likely just beginning.
When people are at their most creative, they’re responding
to a need, goal, or problem by generating something new—a
product or solution that didn’t previously exist.
In this sense, creativity is an act of combining existing
resources — ideas, materials, knowledge — in a novel way that’s
useful or gratifying. Quite often, the result of creative thinking is
also surprising, leading to something the creator did not — and
perhaps could not — foresee.
Our results?
GPT-4 scored in the top 1 percent of test-takers for the
originality of its ideas. From our research, we believe this marks
one of the first examples of AI meeting or exceeding the human
ability for original thinking.
In short, we believe that AI models like GPT-4 are capable of
producing ideas that people see as unexpected, novel, and
unique. Other researchers are arriving at similar conclusions in
their research of AI and creativity.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
YOUNG MINDS Number of children facing mental
health crisis soars 53% in 4 years − 16 signs your
child is at risk
Some 32,521 under-18s were referred for emergency
care at mental health services in 2022 to 2023, up from
21,242 in 2019 to 2020.
Doctors at the Royal College of Psychiatrists said the
shocking numbers "cannot become the new norm".
The college said many of these under-18s have suffered
worsening mental health while on NHS waiting lists for
treatment.
Dr Elaine Lockhart, chair of the college's child and
adolescent faculty, said: "It's unacceptable that so many
children and young people are reaching crisis point
before they are able to access care.
"Severe mental illness is not just an adult problem. The
need for specialist mental health services for children and
young people is growing all the time.
"The evidence shows us that children who receive
support quickly are less likely to develop long-term
conditions, that negatively affect their education, social
development and health in later life.
"Government and integrated care boards must commit to
reducing the rate of mental illness among children by
setting an achievable target.
"This needs to be backed by an expansion of the mental
health workforce and additional funding for services.
"Investing in children's mental health will ultimately free
up NHS time and resources, while ensuring the country
has a healthy and productive population in the years to
come."
The college said around half of mental health conditions
arise before the age of 14 and three-quarters before the
age of 24.
Data shows under-18s who are waiting for follow-up after
a GP referral for mental health problems have already
waited on average five months and, in the worst case,
almost two years.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists said last year's
Government announcement of an extra £5million to
improve access to existing early support hubs was
welcome.
But it said it predicts an extra £125 to £205million is
needed to establish hubs in every local authority, with
running costs of at least £114m per year.
It comes as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child
Health (RCPCH) published a statement outlining the
"changing role" for paediatricians in being involved in
identifying and helping children with poor mental health.
RCPCH officer for mental health Dr Karen Street said:
"The entire children's workforce has a role to play in
tackling the current crisis in children's mental health but
as paediatricians we are particularly well placed to make
a difference.
"Research shows paediatricians are the most trusted
profession for secondary school children, across all
ethnicities and backgrounds and that children see
doctors as a key group to support their mental health.
"We know that paediatric settings and emergency
departments are not ideal for children and young people
experiencing a crisis in their mental health, but they
cannot be left without support.
"If we are ever to get out of this dire situation then we
need meaningful support for health services and staff, as
well as child focused polices that can improve the
physical, emotional, social and educational wellbeing of
young people.
"The responsibility to tackle this growing mental health
emergency cannot be left to healthcare professionals
alone."
Liberal Democrat health and social care spokesperson
Daisy Cooper said: "This devastating explosion of mental
ill health among children should be a wake-up call for the
government.
"Conservative ministers have neglected children's mental
health during and after the pandemic, leaving mental
health services and families in crisis.
"We have seen a litany of broken promises from this
government including the failure to deliver maximum
waiting times for children, ending out of area placements
or reforming the Mental Health Act."

Cell culture experiments are widely used in biomedical
research, regenerative medicine, and biotechnological
production. Due to restrictions on the use of laboratory animals
by animal protection laws and the strict implementation of the
3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) formulated
by William Russell and Rex Burch to improve the welfare
of animals, it can be expected that the general use of cell
lines will further increase during the next years to substitute
animal-based research. However, it should be noted that cell
culture experiments, if not properly conducted, are prone to
errors. Therefore, it is essential that cell culture studies are
performed with good cell culture practice (GCCP) to assure
the reproducibility of in vitro experimentation.
In particular, inter- and intra-specific cross-contamination
and cell misidentification, genetic drift, contamination with
bacteria, fungi, yeast, viruses, or chemicals, and lack of quality
control testing are widespread fatal cell culture problems that
contaminate the literature with false and irreproducible results.
Rough estimates suggest that the number of published papers
that used problematic cell lines is about 16.1%. Moreover, the
International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC) lists
576 misidentified or cross-contaminated cell lines in its latest
register released in June 2021.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
How can you make sure you are eating a balanced,
filling and nutritious plate at every meal?
Think of your plate divided into different food groups -
protein, carbs, fat and fruit and veg.
Protein: David Wiener, training and nutrition specialist at
AI-based lifestyle and coaching app Freeletics, told The
Sun: "Aim for one to two palm-size portions of lean
protein in each meal.
"Protein includes meat (chicken, turkey, pork, beef),
beans, peas, lentils and fish.
The NHS Eatwell Guide says to choose lean cuts of meat
and mince, and eat less red and processed meat like
bacon, ham and sausages.Aim for at least two portions
(two x 140g) of fish every week, one of which should be
oily, such as salmon, sardines or mackerel.
Carbs: Carbohydrates should make up about a third of
your plate, or a fist-sized portion.
The Eatwell Guide says: "Choose higher fibre or
wholegrain varieties, such as wholewheat pasta and
brown rice, or simply leave the skins on potatoes.
"There are also higher fibre versions of white bread and
pasta.
"Starchy foods are a good source of energy and the main
source of a range of nutrients in our diet.
"Fat: Generally the advice is to think of fat like a
thumb-sized amount on your plate.
The Eatwell Guide says: "Remember all types of fat are
high in energy and should be eaten in small amounts.
"These foods include chocolate, cakes, biscuits, sugary
soft drinks, butter, ghee and ice cream.
"They're not needed in our diet, so should be eaten less
often and in smaller amounts."But a small amount is still
essential for the diet.
Try and eat more unsaturated fats (avocado, nuts, olive
oil), which are healthier than saturated fats (butter, hard
cheese, sour cream).
Fruit and veg: David says: "Make sure you also get lots of
colourful fruit and vegetable carbohydrates too.
"Aim for at least five of these portions a day.
"One to two fist-sized portions of fruits and vegetables
with every meal is generally recommended.
"Fruit and veg can be fresh, frozen, tinned or dried. You
can roast, boil, steam or grill veggies.

Generation y or the millennials: digital natives
The revolution was shaped by the millennials or generation Y. Also known as digital natives, millennials are those born
between 1982 and 1994 and technology is part of their everyday lives: all their activities are mediated by a screen. The concept of on
and off is completely integrated into their lives. However, they were not born into it; they migrated to the digital world from the
analogue one in which they were living.
Unlike previous generations, because of the economic crisis, the world requires them to be better trained to get a job, as
competition is increasing. Unlike their parents, Generation X, digital natives are not satisfied with the world around them and are
ambitious and want to achieve their goals.
However, the millennial generation is labelled as being lazy, narcissistic and spoilt. In fact, in 2014, Time magazine labelled
them as the me-me-me generation.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans
Experts say the rise of artificial intelligence will make most
people better off over the next decade, but many have concerns
about how advances in AI will affect what it means to be human,
to be productive and to exercise free will
By Janna Anderson and Lee Rainie
Digital life is augmenting human capacities and disrupting eons-old
human activities. Code-driven systems have spread to more than
half of the world’s inhabitants in ambient information and
connectivity, offering previously unimagined opportunities and
unprecedented threats. As emerging algorithm-driven artificial
intelligence (AI) continues to spread, will people be better off than
they are today?
The experts predicted networked artificial intelligence will amplify
human effectiveness but also threaten human autonomy, agency
and capabilities. They spoke of the wide-ranging possibilities; that
computers might match or even exceed human intelligence and
capabilities on tasks such as complex decision-making, reasoning
and learning, sophisticated analytics and pattern recognition,
visual acuity, speech recognition and language translation. They
said “smart” systems in communities, in vehicles, in buildings and
utilities, on farms and in business processes will save time, money
and lives and offer opportunities for individuals to enjoy a morecustomized future.
Many focused their optimistic remarks on health care and the
many possible applications of AI in diagnosing and treating
patients or helping senior citizens live fuller and healthier lives.
They were also enthusiastic about AI’s role in contributing to broad
