Officials in a remote Russian city have drawn up a list of practical tips for locals on how to survive encounters (ÏàÓö) with bears, after growing numbers have wandered into the streets in search of food.
Officials in the city of Syktyvkar drew up the guidelines to guide the local people, after several bears were caught sight of in the city, going hungry after a heat wave shriveled their usual diet of nuts and berries.
The guide warns that city people there should stay calm and stand still if they meet with a bear. ¡°Speak to the bear in a firm voice¡± and ¡°Don¡¯t turn your back on it,¡± it adds. In the worst case, if the bear attacks, the person should also be ready to attack, the guide says. ¡°Shout angrily at it and look it straight in the eye,¡± the guide advises. ¡°Bears have started coming into the areas where people live more and more often,¡± the city officials said in a statement. ¡°Any encounter with a bear is unsafe for humans, so our task is to do all we can to prevent such accidents.¡±
In September, a bear attacked a 25-year-old man in a central street of the city, wounding him in the neck before he managed to run away, police said. ¡°Three or four people who met with brown bears have been recorded recently,¡± the head of the hunting department in the regional agriculture organization, Alexander said.
Officials have asked police to patrol (ѲÂß) streets close to wooded areas in the evenings.
Syktyvkar is the regional capital of the remote Komi region in northwest Russia. Its population is just over 230,000.

A daughter¡¯s duty? Adult daughters are often expected to caregiver for older parents. In 2007, Jorjan Sarich and her dad moved from California to Idaho. It was where he wanted to live his rest time.
¡°I left my occupation, I left my friends; he did the same thing,¡± said Sarich, who bought a house with her father, George Snyder, in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline. Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation£¨ÂÛÎÄ£©, Sarich chose to be her dad¡¯s full-time caregiver.
¡°It¡¯s only now, several years later, that I¡¯m realizing how much work it was. It¡¯s the kind of exhaustion£¨Æ£±¹£©that sleep doesn¡¯t cure,¡± she said.
About 6 million Americans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing homes. Laurel Kennedy, author of ¡°The Daughter Trap¡± (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.95), says that women bear a disproportionate£¨²»³É±ÈÀýµÄ£©share of the burden ¡ª about 70 percent of hands-on care giving such as bathing.
¡°I want to be clear: Women don¡¯t hate this,¡± Kennedy said. ¡°What they hate is that everyone just assumes they¡¯ll do it.¡±
Kennedy is calling for a social revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Employers should help working caregivers by offering accommodations. Men should step up more often. It¡¯s unfair that women are always chosen to provide care for an elderly family member.
Despite the hard work it took on Sarich ¡ª interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end game, she would do it again. Since about half a century had gone by, she wasn¡¯t the person he remembered, and he wasn¡¯t the person she remembered either. Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿ Why did Jorjan Sarich caregiver for her father?
| A£®It was a very easy job. | B£®She had no work to do. |
| C£®It was the social practice. | D£®She lived with her father. |
| A£®Daughters don¡¯t like care giving. |
| B£®Daughters devote a lot to care giving. |
| C£®Care giving is daughters¡¯ duty. |
| D£®Care giving should be sons¡¯ duty. |
| A£®The child care revolution. | B£®The reform in day care. |
| C£®The social development. | D£®The change in care giving. |
| A£®Five years. | B£®Only one year. | C£®Four years. | D£®Two years. |
| A£®got along well with her father | B£®was a little tired of her father |
| C£®changed her father in every way | D£®felt it was unfair to do so |
Misery and setbacks are not always as terrible as one imagines. Hard times can offer new ways of looking at life that would otherwise never be known. And, if you are a writer, this can be the source of much of your success.
Popular British author, Charles Dickens' £¨1812-1870£©family could hardly make ends meet. They could only afford to send one of their six children to school. Dickens was not that child. His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy. Then at the age of 12, Dickens' life took another turn for the worse.
His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts. And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory. His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing. His father was freed three months later and inherited a small amount of money. Dickens was then sent to school.
From 1836 to 1837, he wrote a monthly series of stories. Thus the Pickwick Papers, came into being, which brought fame to the 23-year-old man.
Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels. He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in Oliver Twist, the French Revolution in Tale of Two Cities, and social reform in Hard Times. He also wrote David Copperfield, a book thought to be modeled on his own life.
¡°I do not write bitterly or angrily: for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am,¡± he once said. His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career. There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist.
Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success. ¡°Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort,¡± he once wrote. On June 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work£®The words on his tombstone read: ¡°He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed, and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world.¡±

Authorities in Shanghai said Thursday night that another person has died from H7N9 bird flu, bringing the death toll to five around the country. The city has reported six infections (¸ÐȾ) to date, and four have died, said the Shanghai Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission. Of the rest two, there was a four-year-old, the agency said. The baby was recovering from mild illness, it added. The person died at Huashan Hospital on Wednesday and was confirmed infected with the H7N9 bird flu on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, the commission reported the city's third death from the H7N9 bird flu. The case involved a 48-year-old man surnamed Chu, a poultry (¼ÒÇÝ) transporter from Rugao in neighboring Jiangsu Province. He developed symptoms(Ö¢×´) of cough on March 28. After having a fever on Monday, he went to a private clinic for treatment. The man then sought help in the Tongji Hospital in Shanghai in the early hours of Wednesday after his condition worsened. Chu died three hours after being admitted to the hospital. He was confirmed infected with the H7N9 virus on Thursday. Eight people who had close contact with him have shown no abnormal symptoms.
So far, China has confirmed 14 H7N9 cases -- six in Shanghai, four in Jiangsu, three in Zhejiang and one in Anhui, in the first known human infections of the lesser-known type of bird flu. Of all, four died in Shanghai and one died in Zhejiang. China's Ministry of Agriculture said Thursday the H7N9 avian flu virus has been detected from pigeon (¸ë×Ó) samples collected at a marketplace in Songjiang District of Shanghai.
After gene sequence analysis, the national avian flu reference laboratory concluded that the H7N9 virus found on pigeons was highly congenetic with those found on persons infected with H7N9 virus. China's health authorities have promised transparency(͸Ã÷) and cooperation (ºÏ×÷) to the World Health Organization in regards to human infections of the new type of bird flu. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that no human-to-human transmission of H7N9 has been discovered.
