Grammar Reminder: We use comparative adjectives (short & long adjectives) when talking about two things (not three or more things).
There are two ways to make or to "form" a comparative adjective:
• short adjectives: add "-er"
• long adjectives: use "more"Mixing The Old Recipe

James Blake Wiener: Nubian artisans seemed ahead of their time. How did that happen?
Denise Doxey: They experimented. They tried new styles. Blue-glazed quartz beads are one example. These were made from quartz crystals.
Quartz is a type of clear stone. They were shaped into balls. A hole was poked through them. They were given a shiny glaze. Finally, they were heated. They are very beautiful. But they were not easy to make.
Nubian glassmakers were also very skilled. They made beads that looked like eyes. They were formed by putting drops of glass onto a heated glass bead.

Ancient Nubia was a powerful empire in Africa. An empire is a group of kingdoms that work together. The Nubians lasted for thousands of years. They developed their own culture and style of arts. Their jewellerymakers
especially showed great skill.
James Blake Wiener spoke to Denise Doxey. Wiener works for Ancient History Encyclopedia. Doxey is an art expert at a museum in Boston, U.S.A. The two of them talked about Nubian jewellery.
James Blake Wiener: What is it about Nubian jewellery that stands out?
Denise Doxey: Its jewellery shows how worldly Nubia was. Many cultures mixed there. Ideas came from central Africa. Egypt was Nubia's neighbour. Traders came from Greece, Rome and Asia. New ways of doing things were always moving back and forth.
Nubian artists were ahead of their time. They were trying out new ideas. Some experimented with enamel. Enamel is a coating for jewellery and other wares.
Nubian jewellery-makers also liked trying new materials. Some stones came from distant lands. One queen's grave was filled with unusual gems and fossils.

Bases play an important role in baking for their ability to react with acids and release carbon dioxide gas. Baking soda is the most common base used in
cooking. Gas bubbles form in batter or dough when baking soda combines with any acidic ingredients, such as yogurt, lemon juice or buttermilk. This
process is known as leavening, a reaction that causes batter or dough to rise up.

However, baking soda can only cause so much lift unless there's a great deal
of it in the recipe, which can result in a soapy taste to baked goods. That's why
some recipes also call for baking powder, a product that combines baking soda with a powdered acid that reacts with water. "Double-acting" baking powder
can be especially helpful because it responds to the oven's heat to create a second chemical reaction, causing even more leavening to the cake or bread.

Acids soften foods that have lots of proteins. Lime juice is an acid that breaks down the protein in fish. The lime juice's effect on the fish proteins gives the dish an appealing mouth texture and an opaque appearance that resembles
cooking with heat. Tough cuts of meat often are soaked in marinades made with vinegar, lemon juice, tomato juice or other types of acids to soften them
and add flavor. Marinades don't enter deeply into meat so in order for the spices to enter, acidic foods are added to open up the outer protein cells.

For thousands of years, the ancients used spices and herbs for various purposes, such as cooking, treatment, and others, but they were and still are used as a treatment for many diseases. 
Modern scientific studies have also reached positive results about the benefits of herbs, as dried medicinal plants are an essential part of herbal medicine, in addition to the use of a lot of spices in the treatment of many diseases or even to prevent infection. 
Studies confirm that the importance of herbs is not limited to a specific part of the plants. Each part of the plants has its benefits. The famous "ancient-origins" website reviewed the benefits and history of natural herbs.

In ancient civilizations, especially the civilization of Mesopotamia or Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and the civilization of ancient Egypt, man relied on medicinal herbs in the treatment of diseases, and in a research study published on the “Ancient Origins” website, the researcher “Alicia McDermott” who holds degrees in anthropology 
and International Development Studies and Psychology, a Canadian resident in Ecuador, has undertaken a historical study of herbal medicine from ancient to modern medicine.

The researcher talked about the 10 most important natural varieties that should be available in every home, and they are considered an alternative medicine:

1. Anise to treat abdominal pain

In addition to its delicious flavor, anise has an important role in treating abdominal pain, as it helps to get rid of gas and colic in children.

English scientists have found a medical cure in an ancient book. Recently, they discovered an ancient recipe that fights a deadly bacteria that makes people sick. The recipe comes from a thousand -year- old book called
"Bald's Leechbook." The book was found in a University library in England.

The medieval cure works against a type of deadly bacteria. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria. MRSA (pronounced mersa) is one kind that causes infections. It is
very difficult to treat. Most medicines do not work against MRSA, which makes it very dangerous.

Mixing The Old Recipe

One thousand years ago, there was a medicine for eye infections. An herbalist, or healer, would make the medicine. An herbalist helped people who were sick by using herbs. To make up the recipe, the herbalist would take a brass pot. He or she would mix fluids from a cow’s stomach and a special type of garlic in the pot.

Christina Lee, a professor, translated the recipe from the Old English language. She asked scientists to make the recipe and test it on MRSA bacteria.

Nottingham scientist Freya Harrison took the challenge. Scientists in Harrison’s lab followed the recipe. In her lab, the thousand -year- old recipe was a powerful killer. Only about 1 in 1,000 MRSA bacteria cells survived the ancient drug. Later, the researchers tested the drug on mice. It killed 9 out of 10 MRSA bacteria.

In this report, you will read about a place in Jordan that was
famous for many different minerals.
Khirbat en-Nahas or Kingdom of Copper is one of the largest copper mining sites of the ancient world, built around 3,000 years ago. It is located in Wadi Feynan between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba Copper in Wadi Feynan was a very important mineral as it played a great role in people’s lives. It was compared to petroleum nowadays. Copper mineral ores like malachite were used in industry to make jewellery, copper tools and weapons. The people of Wadi Feynan were the main suppliers of copper in the
region.
Nowadays, copper's recycling rate is higher than that of any other metal. In fact, it is possible that we could still be using the same metal in our pennies and electrical wiring that was used by people in the past.
Copper is used to make electrical wires and bronze.

passengers can plant some green of their own. He started his eco-mission more than 30 years ago, by planting trees in his backyard and gifting saplings to passengers, bringing huge smiles to their faces. Now this conductor
is a famous eco-warrior with three acres of land. He works daily and spends 40% of his salary planting and caring for his saplings. His goal is to plant more than a million across the region. Yoganathan’s gifting and growing nature proves that even a small effort can make the world a better place.

Deep within the world’s seas and oceans is an area called the
abyssal zone. It lies more than 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) below
the surface of the water. It is totally dark there, and the water
is almost motionless. Yet even in these environments various
forms of life survives. These range from tiny microorganisms to
more complex animals such as fish and crustaceans.
For a long time scientists believed that there could be no plants in the dark bottom of the ocean because plants need light. It was also thought that without plant life there could be no animal life. However, scientists descended to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean’s Puerto Rico Trench in 1964 and reported plenty of life even at the depth of
8,381 meters. -Adapted from Britannica Kids (https://kids.britannica.com/kids/article/deep-sea-life/353043)

Goal 15: Life on Land
Did you know that…?
● 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihood
● 80 percent of land animals and plants live in forests
● 2.6 billion people depend directly on agriculture
● Loss of farmable land is estimated at 30 to 35 times the historical rate
● 8 percent of the known 8,300 animal breeds are extinct and 22 percent are at risk Forests, farm lands and animals play a huge part in our daily lives. Forests rovide habitats and food for animals. Forests are part of the water cycle. Farms and animals are a source of food and livelihood. Animals are an essential part of all ecosystems. Without action, we could lose these
important resources to deforestation and land degradation. What can young people do to help make life on land more sustainable?
