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.

BRAZIL JOINS GROWING LIST OF COUNTRIES
BANNING CELLPHONES IN SCHOOLS
Despite questions about the effectiveness of such bans,
Brazil is the latest to prohibit the devices amid concerns
over impacts on learning and well-being.
A bill that bans students from using cellphones in schools
was signed into law in Brazil on Monday, the latest example
of lawmakers limiting young people’s use of personal
technology in the classroom, amid growing concern about
its effect on education and well-being.
Brazil’s Education Ministry said in a statement that the law
“aims to safeguard the mental, physical and psychological
health of children and adolescents.” The Brazilian President
called it an example of “working together for the safety and
better learning of our children and young people.”
The law prohibits all students in public and private
elementary and secondary schools from using portable
electronic devices throughout the school day, the ministry
said, though it allows for their educational use and some
other exceptions.
Brazil joins several countries that have banned the personal
use of cellphones in schools — including the Netherlands,
Italy for students up to the third year of middle school, and
France for those under 15 — though there are questions as
to whether phone bans are effective in achieving their aims.

banned the personal use of cellphones in schools”, the

The mysterious death of Alexander the Great
When Alexander the Great’s body seemingly remained unchanged for six days after his death in 323 BCE, his contemporaries could offer only one explanation. Alexander must have been a god. So… was he?
Alexander the Great first fell ill during a days-long series of parties, during one of which he collapsed, complaining of a searing pain in his back. After 10 days of intense fever, Alexander’s soldiers were brought in to see him one final time. As reported by the historian Arrian, at that point the king “could no longer speak… but he struggled to raise his head and gave each man a greeting with his eyes.”
When Alexander was declared dead on June 13, theories began forming. Had he been poisoned? Sabotaged? Had he been killed by drinking too much wine? Today we have an explanation for Alexander’s death and his period of bodily freshness that relies less on the supernatural and more on science. In 2018 Dr. Katherine Hall, a lecturer in New Zealand, proposed that Alexander the Great had Guillain-Barré syndrome, an acute autoimmune condition that results in muscle paralysis. In other words, Alexander may have been alive when he was declared dead—a mistake that could have been made when physicians mistook the shallow breathing of a coma patient for no breathing at all. If this was the case, Alexander may have been effectively murdered during embalming—a process that would have seen him disemboweled.
While we can’t travel back in time to confirm Hall’s theory, it is the only one that takes into account all the details of Alexander’s death—and his body’s mysterious life.

If styles are general characteristics that differentiate one
individual from another, then strategies are those specific
“attacks” that we make on a given problem, and that vary
considerably within each individual. They are the momentby-moment techniques that we employ to solve “problems”
posed by second language input and output. Chamot (2005,
p. 112) defines strategies quite broadly as “procedures that
facilitate a learning task. Strategies are most often conscious
and goal driven.”
As our knowledge of second language acquisition
increased markedly during the 1970s, teachers and
researchers came to realize that no single research finding
and no single method of language teaching would usher in an
era of universal success in teaching a second language. We
saw that certain learners seemed to be successful regardless
of methods or techniques of teaching. We began to see
the importance of individual variation in language learning.
Certain people appeared to be endowed with abilities to
succeed; others lacked those abilities. This observation led
Rubin (1975) and Stern (1975) to describe “good” language
learners in terms of personal traits, styles, and strategies.
Rubin (Rubin & Thompson, 1982) later summarized fourteen
such characteristics. Among other abilities, good language
learners tend to:
1. Find their own way, taking charge of their learning
2. Be creative and develop a “feel” for the language by
experimenting with its grammar and words
3. Make their own opportunities for practice in using the
language inside and outside the classroom
4. Learn to live with uncertainty by continuing to talk or listen
without understanding every word
5. Use linguistic knowledge, including knowledge of their first
language, in learning a second language
6. Use contextual cues to help them in comprehension
7. Learn to make intelligent guesses
8. Learn chunks of language as wholes and formalized
routines to help them perform “beyond their competence”
9. Learn different styles of speech and writing and learn to vary
their language according to the formality of the situation.

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.

The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.
Those explorations required skepticism and imagination both. Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere. Skepticism enables us to distinguish fancy from fact, to test our speculations. The Cosmos is rich beyond measure — in elegant facts, in exquisite interrelationships, in the subtle machinery of awe. The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. From it we have learned most of what we know. Recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. The water seems inviting. The ocean calls. Some part of our being knows this is from where we came. We long to return. These aspirations are not, I think, irreverent, although they may trouble whatever gods may be.
