    Car crashes into second floor of Pennsylvania home

    A man drove his car into the second floor of a Pennsylvania home on Sunday in what officials say was an "intentional act".

    Charges are pending against the driver after police found a grey vehicle sticking out of the side of the house in the city of Lewistown.

    Officials have not said how exactly the vehicle made its way to the second floor.

    The pictures speak for themselves", a fire official told the BBC.

    Anywhere from one to three people were inside the home at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to Sam Baumgardner, an administrator at the Junction Fire Company, which assisted in the response to the crash.

    The driver was able to climb out onto the roof after the crash and was taken to the hospital with injuries, Mr Baumgardner said.

    He added that the car likely hit the second floor because of a culvert - a tunnel that carries a stream under a road or railway - on the left side of the house.

    The driver "went into the culvert and propelled into the air and landed on the second floor", Mr Baumgardner said.

    In a report, Lewistown police said they had determined through an investigation that the crash was "an intentional act".

    Officials added that the driver will face charges for the crash.

    The BBC has reached out to police for comment.

    The fire department said it took about three hours to remove the car from the second floor.

    "The crew that was on the rescue definitely had to think outside the box," Mr Baumgardner said.

    Rescue crews helped stabilise the house and put a tarp over the hole from the crash because of upcoming storms, the Junction Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.

    Birmingham Festival praised in report

    Birmingham Festival 23 had a positive economic and cultural impact on the city, according to a new report.

    The free, nine-day outdoor event this summer saw a footfall of 123,500, the Birmingham City Council document found.

    The festival in Centenary Park was made up of 153 projects and performances from more than 800 artists. It was created to mark the first anniversary of the city hosting the Commonwealth Games.

    About 80% of attendees agreed with the statement the event made them feel proud of their local area, the report said.

    Most people who visited - 85% - were from Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands.

    What does a sustainable smartphone look like?

    In a bid to reduce global electronic waste, Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves. What makes its technology so sustainable?

    "This is my phone's camera," says Bas van Abel, holding a small, square component aloft. He has just removed it from his smartphone, using a tiny screwdriver.

    "There's eight components in total which can be removed and replaced," he says, as he meticulously disassembles his entire smartphone, placing the camera alongside his phone battery, USB port, screen and loudspeaker.

    Van Abel is the co-founder of the Dutch social enterprise Fairphone, which claims to have built "the world's most sustainable smartphone". But with a complex product containing rare metals and components from all over the world, just how sustainable can a smartphone be?

    Founded in 2013 in Amsterdam, Fairphone makes Android smartphones which can easily be exchanged, customized and repaired by their owners. By enabling and encouraging people to fix their phones, rather than throwing them away as soon as a component breaks, Fairphone hopes to help reduce electronic waste.

    1 The artist is distinguished from all other responsible

    actors in society by the fact that he is his own test tube, his

    own laboratory, working according to very rigorous rules,

    4 however unstated these may be, and cannot allow any

    consideration to supersede his responsibility to reveal all

    that he can possibly discover concerning the mystery of the

    7 human being. Society must accept some things as real; but

    he must always know that visible reality hides a deeper one,

    and that all our action and achievement rest on things

    10 unseen. A society must assume that it is stable, but the artist

    must know, and he must let us know, that there is nothing

    stable under heaven. One cannot possibly build a school,

    13 teach a child, or drive a car without taking some things for

    granted. The artist cannot and must not take anything for

    granted, but must drive to the heart of every answer and

    16 expose the question the answer hides.

    Um conceito essencial para o trabalho com gêneros de texto é o de capacidades de linguagem. A primeira delas é a de ação. A capacidade de ação trata das representações que o agente produtor do texto tem sobre o contexto em que o gênero será produzido.

    A segunda capacidade de linguagem envolvida na produção textual é a discursiva. Pode-se dizer que ela diz respeito aos tipos de discurso e aos tipos de sequências predominantes que um determinado gênero apresenta. A terceira capacidade é a linguístico-discursiva. É com ela que o aluno desenvolverá seu texto lançando uso correto das coesões nominais e verbais, da coerência ao longo da produção, da modalização do discurso e do paralelismo presente na sua construção.

    Since ChatGPT can engage in conversation and generate essays and graphs that closely resemble those created by humans, educators worry students may use it to cheat. The main reason students cheat is their academic motivation. Sometimes they are just motivated to get a high grade, whereas other times they wish to learn all that they can about a topic. The decision to cheat or not often relates to how academic assignments and tests are constructed and assessed, not on the availability of technological shortcuts.

    Research demonstrates that students are more likely to cheat when assignments are designed in ways that encourage them to outperform their classmates. There is less cheating when teachers assign academic tasks that prompt them to work collaboratively and to focus on mastering content instead of getting a good grade.

    An important way to boost students’ confidence is to provide them with opportunities to experience success. For example, suppose students are asked to attempt to design a hypothetical vehicle that can use gasoline more efficiently than a traditional car. Students who struggle with the project can use ChatGPT to break down the larger problem into smaller challenges or tasks. ChatGPT might suggest they first develop an overall concept for the vehicle before determining the size and weight of the vehicle and deciding what type of fuel will be used. Teachers could also ask students to compare the steps suggested by ChatGPT with steps that are recommended by other sources.

    Asteroids vs. comets: How do they differ, and do they pose a threat to Earth?

    Asteroids are _______________ chunks of rock that measure in size from a few feet to hundreds of miles in diameter. NASA has identified more than a million asteroids, and more than 150 of them have their own moons. In 2022, astronomers published evidence that the asteroid Elektra has as many as _______ chunks of rock orbiting it—making it the first known quadruple asteroid.

    For many years, astronomers considered Ceres to be the largest asteroid at about 590 miles wide. In 2006, however, the International Astronomical Union reclassified Ceres as a dwarf planet—making Vesta the largest asteroid at 329 miles wide. Yet this remains a point of contention among some astronomers, and the U.S. Geological Survey’s Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature defines Ceres as both an asteroid and a dwarf planet.

    Comets are balls of ice and rock whose glowing tails can sometimes be seen from Earth as they streak through the night sky. Comets grow those tails whenever their orbits bring them close to the sun, causing the icy objects to heat up and _________ a trail of gas and dust. The sun illuminates the tail, giving it a majestic glow.

    Compared to asteroids, comets tend to have more elliptical, or oval-shaped, orbits. They also contain more chemical compounds that vaporize when heated, such as water. And when observed through a telescope, comets appear fuzzier than asteroids.

    The story of American literature comes from the beginning of the 1600s, long before there were any “Americans”. The earliest writers were Englishmen describing the English exploration and colonization of the New World. Back in England, people planning to move to Virginia and New England would read the books as travel guides. But this was dangerous because such books often mixed facts with fantasy. For example, one writer wrote that he had seen lions in Massachusetts. However, it’s probable that these “true reports” also had a second kind of reader: people who read read them as tales of adventure and excitement.

    Consider Kenji, a university student from Japan who is studying at a pre-university language institute in the United States. During his previous twelve years of schooling he was taught some very specific behaviors. He was taught to give the utmost “respect” to his teacher, which means a number of things: never to contradict the teacher; never to speak in class unless spoken to—always let the teacher initiate communication; let the teacher’s wisdom be “poured into” him; never call a teacher by a first name; respect older teachers even more than younger teachers. But in his new U.S. language school his youngish teachers are friendly and encourage a first-name basis, they ask students to participate in group work, they try to get students to come up with answers to problems rather than just giving the answer and so on. Kenji is confused. Why?

    European companies dealing with the most alarming energy crisis and inflation in four decades are bracing for a fresh shock: wage inflation and the increasing threat of worker actions. The theme has emerged this earnings season, with many of Europe’s most prominent companies warning that prices may rise further in 2023 amid tough wage negotiations in a tight labor market. A season of strike action is already in full swing across Europe as workers – who now suffer the most dramatic real income decline in years – push for higher pay.

    With productivity almost flat and a number of countries in the euro area, as well as Britain, entering recession, the wage demands could put additional pressure on company’s bottom lines. “We’re watching this very closely,” Nestlé SA chief Executive Officer told Bloomberg Television. “In most industrial European countries those negotiations for ’23 will unfold during the winter and first quarter.”

    Some companies are already dealing with walkouts. For example, in November 2022, as red banners and whistling filled the air, Airbus SE employees marched out of an assembly plant in Bremen, Germany, in a bid to secure an 8% pay rise. Negotiating on behalf of 3.9 million manufacturing workers, IG Metall (Germany’s most powerful workers’ union) argued that wage hikes were needed to meet rising energy bills. In response, the employers’ association has insisted there simply won’t be extra profits to pass down the line, since “there will be no growth that can be distributed”. Yet, Germany’s recent decision to hike the minimum wage by 22% could encourage unions while feeding broader inflation.

    With inflation still rising, there’s more pressure than ever on companies to reduce their spending. But holding down wages can backfire, and the next several months will show whether pay is one cost that companies can’t afford to cut.
