WHY
DO WE SLEEP?
A recent study may have an answer to one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science
what is the purpose of sleep? The work suggests it's actually about making animals function more
efficiently in their environments.
Pythons, bats and giant armadillos are among the longest sleepers at over 18 hours a day.
Human babies need 16 hours, and most of us
probably feel we need around eight hours sleep to
function well.
Professor Jerry Seigel from the University of
California, Los Angeles, conducted a study of the
sleep times of a broad range of animals and
found that they vary widely. Some, like
migrating birds, can survive long periods without
sleeping at all. He believes that shows sleep evolved
to conserve energy:
Jerry Seigel: Its animals that are needlessly active that will not survive, but animals that
are most efficient and use their waking time to do vital functions, and are otherwise asleep that
will survive.
Sleep helps make best use of limited resources. In humans, when were awake, our brain
accounts for 20% of the energy we use when just sitting around. Sleeping also makes us less likely
to get injured and less likely to be detected by predators.

WHAT
IS
GLOBAL WARMING?
Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is
getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are
getting more frequent.
Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of the air near the Earths
surface has risen a little less than 1 Celsius. Does it not seem all that much? It is
responsible for the conspicuous increase in storms, floods and raging forest fires we
have seen in the last ten years, though, say scientists.
Their data show that an increase of one degree Celsius makes the Earth warmer
now than it has been for at least a thousand years. Out of the 20 warmest years
on record, 19 have occurred since 1980. The three hottest years ever observed
have all occurred in the last ten years.
Earth should be in cool-down-period
But it is not only about how much the Earth is warming, it is also about how fast it is warming. There have always
been natural climate changes Ice Ages and the warm intermediate times between them but those evolved over
periods of 50,000 to 100,000 years.
A temperature rise as fast as the one we have seen over the last 30 years has never happened before, as far as
scientists can ascertain. Moreover, normally the Earth should now be in a cool-down-period, according to natural effects
like solar cycles and volcano activity, not in a heating-up phase.
What is more, climate change wont be a smooth transition to a warmer world, warns the Tipping Points Report by
Allianz and WWF. Twelve regions around the world will be especially affected by abrupt changes, among them the North
Pole, the Amazon rainforest, and California.
All these facts lead scientists to infer that the global warming we now experience is not a natural occurrence and that
it is not brought on by natural causes. Man is responsible, they say. What did we do? Read more about the man-made
causes and impacts of global warming in our next articles.

CHILD LABOUR
Child workers, some as young as 10, have been found working in a textile factory in conditions described
as close to slavery to produce clothes that appear destined for one of the major high street retailers.
Speaking to a British newspaper, the children described long hours of unpaid work and threats and beatings.
The company said it was unaware that clothing intended for its stores had been improperly outsourced to a
sweatshop that used child labour. It announced it had withdrawn the garments involved until it had investigated
the alleged breaches of the ethical code it imposed on manufacturers three years ago.
The discovery of these children working in very bad conditions in the Shahpur Jat area of Delhi has renewed
concerns about the outsourcing by some large retail chains of their garment production to India, recognised
by the United Nations as one of the world's hotspots for child labour. According to one estimate, over 20 per
cent of India's economy is dependent on children, which comes to a total of 55 million youngsters under 14
working.
Consumers in the West should not only be demanding answers from retailers about how their goods are
produced but also should be looking into their consciences at how they spend their money and whether cheap
prices in the West are worth the suffering caused to so many children.

While women are less likely to suffer heart attacks than men,
once a woman suffers her first attack she is 70 per cent more likely
to die from it than a man. These surprising new findings highlight
the need for medical staff to be more vigilant against heart disease

LOS ANGELES Come summer 2006, Warner Brothers
Pictures hopes to usher Superman into thousands of theaters
after a 19-year absence. But given the tortured history surrounding
that studios attempts to revive Superman, the forerunner of
Hollywoods now-ubiquitous comic-book blockbusters, the Man of
Steels arrival would be nothing short of a miracle.
Since Warner began developing a remake of the successful
comic-book franchise in 1993, it has spent nearly $10 million in
development, employed no fewer than 10 writers, hired four
directors and met with scores of Clark Kent hopefuls without
settling on one. The latest director Bryan Singer, who directed
X-Men and its sequel, was named on July 18 to replace Joseph
McGinty Nichol, known as McG, who left the project after
refusing to board a plane to Australia, where the studio was
determined to make the film.
