1.Dubai experienced an unprecedented 48 hours of torrential storms, causing 25cm of rain, twice the UAE's yearly average, to wash away its image. British expat Jordache Ruffels described the experience as "living through the apocalypse." Four large storms, each 15km into the atmosphere, were fueled by powerful jet streams. Dubai's weather infrastructure was unprepared for the worst rain since 1949, leaving much of the city's outdoor infrastructure under water.

3. Dave Lock had previously struggled with his mental health. When

he was feeling at his lowest he reached out to the Samaritans (a

UK-based charity which supports people struggling with their

mental health). Every year the London Marathon has thousands of

people running for different charities, but this year, their main

charity was Samaritans. Dave has completed an amazing 25

marathons, raising thousands of pounds for charity. He has always

run in a different “phone” outfit - making the 26.2 miles (42.2

km) even more of a challenge.

This year he ran it with his daughter Isabella in memory of his

brother, who also struggled with mental health issues.

I read the information i am supposed to learn and make a decision on whether i would prefer making flashcards or writing it in a notebook. If i make flashcards, i continuously read and answer the question until the exam. I also mix the order of the flashcards. If i write it in my notebook, i recite the information out loud before writing it out without any help. When i get low marks its usually because i don't put much effort in or i don't like the subject

B)-1) Geography: The Scottish Highlands is a mountainous region in Scotland, covering the northern two-thirds of the country. It is known for its rugged landscapes, including mountains, lochs (lakes), and glens (valleys). Cromarty Firth is an inlet or firth located in the Scottish Highlands, known for its deep waters.

Climate: The climate in the Scottish Highlands is typically classified as temperate oceanic, characterized by cool temperatures, moderate rainfall, and relatively mild winters. The weather can be quite changeable, with conditions varying depending on the specific location and altitude.

Average Temperature in Cromarty Firth: To find the current average temperature in Cromarty Firth or any specific location, I recommend checking reliable weather websites, local meteorological services, or climate databases for the most up-to-date information. Websites like the UK Met Office or other weather services can provide current and historical climate data for Cromarty Firth.

D)-1) Pros:

1. Reduced Air Pollution: A well-designed and efficiently operated metro system can help reduce air pollution by providing an alternative to private vehicles, which often contribute to emissions from fossil fuels.

2. Decreased Traffic Congestion: As more people choose to use the metro, there can be a reduction in the number of private vehicles on the road, leading to less traffic congestion and associated idling, which contributes to improved air quality.

Cons:

1. Construction Impact: The construction of a metro system can lead to short-term environmental impacts, including habitat disruption, noise pollution, and the generation of construction waste.

2. Energy and Resource Use: The production and maintenance of the metro infrastructure, as well as the energy required for operations, can have environmental consequences. This is particularly true if the electricity used to power the system is derived from non-renewable sources.

1)-a)History and Cultural Significance: The Haka has its origins in the Maori culture of New Zealand. It was traditionally performed by Maori warriors before battle to intimidate their opponents and to display their strength and unity. It is a powerful and symbolic form of expression. Over time, the Haka has evolved into a cultural practice that is performed on various occasions, not just before battle. It's often used to welcome guests, celebrate special events, and express cultural identity.

b)Variations Among Maori Tribes: Different Maori tribes (iwi) may have their unique variations of the Haka, which are often passed down through generations. These variations can represent the specific history, stories, and traditions of the tribe. Each iwi's Haka may have distinctive movements, lyrics, and themes that reflect their cultural identity.

c)Key Movements and Expressions: The Haka is known for its vigorous and rhythmic movements. It typically involves stomping of feet, slapping of thighs and chests, vocal chants, and aggressive facial expressions. These movements and expressions convey a range of emotions, from challenge and defiance to unity and pride. The specific message and emotions conveyed can vary depending on the context and purpose of the Haka.

d)Modern Usage in Sports and Cultural Performances: The New Zealand Haka is commonly seen in modern contexts, particularly in sports events, where it is performed by New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks, before matches. It is also featured in cultural performances, festivals, and other events. The Haka's impact on the audience and participants is profound. It can inspire and energize both the performers and the spectators, creating a sense of connection and pride in New Zealand's culture and history.

e)Cultural Elements Accompanying the Haka: The Haka is often accompanied by elements such as traditional Maori clothing (including flax skirts and tribal tattoos), rhythmic chanting, and musical instruments like the pūkāea (a trumpet-like instrument) and the poi (a ball on a string). The use of the Maori language in the lyrics of the Haka also contributes to the cultural experience. These elements enhance the overall impact and authenticity of the performance.

2) The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is a vital component of the United Nations, tasked with maintaining global peace and security. It consists of 15 member states, with five permanent members having veto power. To pass a resolution, a majority of at least nine votes, including approval from all five permanent members, is required. The UN's effectiveness is a subject of ongoing debate.

Strengths of the United Nations include its role in mediating conflicts and its contributions to humanitarian aid and development through specialized agencies. However, it has weaknesses, notably the veto power of the P5, which can lead to decision-making gridlock and perceptions of unfairness. The UN's capacity to enforce decisions and address complex global issues like climate change and inequality is also questioned. The UN's effectiveness depends on adaptability, member state cooperation, and ongoing reform efforts.

3) The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that women on average continue to be paid about 20 per cent less than men across the world. There are large variations between countries, from a high of over 45 per cent to hardly any difference. The gender pay gap has been reduced in some countries while in others there has been little change.

• Promoting a gender-inclusive business culture while adopting a holistic approach to equal remuneration for women and men for work of equal value.

• Making equitable salary offers to men and women.

• Basing pay on the position itself rather than previous pay of the employee as the latter perpetuates the gender pay gap.

4) Climate change is linked to hurricanes through several key mechanisms. Warmer sea surface temperatures provide more energy for hurricanes, leading to stronger and more intense storms. Rising sea levels exacerbate storm surges, increasing coastal flooding. Climate change can alter hurricane paths and may impact their frequency. Additionally, it can lead to increased rainfall during hurricanes. The exact impacts can vary by region, but addressing climate change is essential to mitigate these risks and their consequences.

1) The story is that i believe that the gymnast has won a very important competition and is really happy.
Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history and the first female to win six all-around world titles, added another gold medal to her collection at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships. This marks her 27th world medal and breaks the record for total world and Olympic medals combined.
2) I believe the story is an inspirational story on how the young gymnast is going to 'make history'
Kaylia, a former France junior gymnast, competed for Algeria at 16 and won silver, less than 0.07 points off Qiu Qiyuan's gold.
3) It is about how global warming is increasing the rate of forest fires worldwide.
2023's average global temperature reached 1.5C higher than pre-industrial levels, indicating a new level of global warming, with 2024 potentially being even hotter, according to Dr. Melissa Lazenby from the University of Sussex.
4) The story is how NASA will make satellites more sustainable and increase the amount of satellites made.
Amazon founder Elon Musk launched two prototype satellites for Project Kuiper, a broadband mega-constellation aiming to challenge Elon Musk's Starlink. The satellites, KuiperSat-1 and KuiperSat-2, were carried into a 500 km-high orbit by an Atlas-5 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

1) I can see a globe that has 3 continents and it reminds me of space, the sun and man-life
In 1820, a Russian ship discovered Antarctica, marking the official finding of a new continent and solidifying the concept of seven major continents. These are Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. However, in 2017, Zealandia, an eighth continent southeast of Australia, was recognized. Scientists had long suspected its existence, but it remained hidden for centuries due to being mostly underwater. Now, researchers are uncovering its mysteries.
2) I see a goat eating grass.
Goat herder Michael Choi highlights the positive reception of using goats for vegetation control, describing it as a win-win situation. Goats have voracious appetites and naturally consume vegetation like weeds, bushes, and dry brush, which are fire fuel. This aligns with California's wildfire preparedness guidelines, making goats a valuable tool in wildfire prevention. Additionally, goats are resilient grazers, thriving in triple-digit temperatures and effortlessly navigating steep mountainsides, which can be challenging for human laborers. Choi emphasizes goats' natural aptitude for mountainous terrain and their ability to access and consume vegetation in hard-to-reach areas.
3) Poverty and poor health
Around 150 migrants have arrived in Italy, mainly young men, at a makeshift camp in Oulx, manned by local volunteers and Red Cross staff. Over 130,000 migrants have entered Italy this year, double the 2021 period. France's authorities are detaining and pushing back undocumented migrants, reintroducing controls and suspending Schengen free movement regulations. The European Court of Justice has ruled that detained migrants should be subject to an official return decision.
4) the upcoming UAE rugby cup
Fiji, a Pacific Island nation, has emerged as a surprise in the annual rugby tournament, beating Australia 22-12 and Georgia 9-0. If Australia is knocked out, Fiji will face England in the quarters, potentially reaching the quarterfinals.

THINK START:
I believe the methods to cultivate independence is to do something outside your comfort zone so that your mind can adapt and also you can also learn and experience new feelings and new things. Set standards and boundaries, don't let people walk or take advantage of you. Think about yourself and how it affects YOU not others when facing an ultimatum or problem.
REFLECT:
There are many mind blocks when it comes to pushing us down when we try to pursue something. In my opinion, the most successful mind blocker is your own mindset and how you undermine yourself constantly, destroying every ounce of self-confidence slowly. However, your mindset is also set not by you but also by your friends or the people you enjoy talking to.
SLIDE 4,5,6
1. I agree with the paragraph because in my belief, if teachers tell students the answers then the students won't learn much and will eventually grow the mindset of continuously asking the teacher for help or the answer.
2. I agree with this long statement because then not only will they learn the topic but they will actually understand it and ask questions if they don't. It also gives the chance for the teacher to understand how much the student knows in that course/topic.
3. I agree because it is always better to set realistic goals that suit us instead of setting torturous goals that will only pressure us and suffocate us in the long run. If we set goals that are too lenient then we are not doing much. Goals should challenge us as much as not be unrealistic.

# data[].attributes.body
Think start:
I agree but i also disagree. This is because independence can take you a long and far way. It is always good to not be too dependent on a single person or many people. However, it is also okay to be dependant on a person or two. It is okay to ask for help and depend on someone.
They key point being, be independent but ask for help if you need it.
Reflection Task

TASK A: Think and Respond
1) These pictures symbolise the feeling of independence which could also be shown by the word freedom. It can also signify a new life.
2) It makes me feel prosperous as well as hopeful at a chance of my own independence.
3) I believe the second image is the most powerful because it implies how caterpillars take time and patience in the cocoon and then they emerge as a butterfly. This shows that everyone can have a new life and all it takes is patience.
TASK B: Evaluate
I believe the second image represents how my life starts over every single day in every single month in every single year. Why? because i believe that every, i get to be a new me. A better me. A me that has learnt from her past mistakes and takes her problems head-on without hesitation.
