Air traffic controller: orchestrating aerial and ground movements

Service Animals
A Therapy Dog is a kind of service animal – an animal that helps people. The most common service animal is a seeing eye dog. A seeing eye dog helps blind people. However, dogs help people in many other ways. Hearing ear dogs help people with hearing problems. These dogs listen for specific noises, such as a fire alarm. When the dog hears the sound, the dog touches the owner. However, if it’s an emergency, the dog may pull the owner out of danger. Usually small dogs are hearing ear dogs because they are easy to care for. Wheelchair assistance dogs are much larger because the dog’s main job is pulling the wheelchair. These dogs also open doors and get items for their owners, such as magazines.

The heaviest rains in decades caused floods and
landslides in Rio de Janeiro
Mudslides swept away shacks in Rio’s hillside slums, turning the city’s main lake and the sea brown during the round-the-clock heavy rains.
Morning flights in and out of the city of six million people – which will host the 2014 soccer World Cup and the 2016 Olympics – were canceled or seriously delayed.
Most victims died in more than 180 mudslides, authorities said. A spokesman for Rio’s fire service said at least 40 injured people were taken to hospitals as the search went on for others reported missing.
“The situation is critical. Roads are flooded and blocked,” Mayor Eduardo Paes said. “We recommend people stay at home.”

The Mona Lisa
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is widely recognized as the most famous painting of all time. She has aroused admiration, curiosity and suspicion for over 500 years. She can provoke a reaction known as the Mona Lisa Syndrome: the viewer is enchanted by her legendary smile, which becomes increasingly enigmatic the more you look at it.
As it will never be sold, the Mona Lisa is priceless, although for insurance reasons it is believed to be valued at anything up to $ 1 billion.
