Atomisation of society under a chemist prime minister
Margaret Thatcher | Theatre acoustics: anthems and amplifiers | Solutions to table wobbles: tripods and Paddington Bear’s saw | Sean Hughes and Crystal Palace Mike Ellwood (Letters, 18 October) recommends selecting our leaders by degree subject, choosing from those, for example, who “understand the molecular structure of vitamin C or soap”. The prime minister who served the longest continuous term since the Earl of Liverpool did have such a degree, which might explain the atomisation initiated by the policies she pursued from 1979 to 1990. JEREMY WAXMAN _London _ • Twenty years ago I took parties of schoolchildren to Epidaurus several times and we thoroughly tested the acoustics with whispers (by our teaching staff), which were clearly audible all over the theatre (Ancient Greek theatre’s claims prove unsound, 17 October). On one visit my whole party sang the Welsh national anthem, which resounded around the theatre and was applauded by all the other tourists. I recited Robert Browning’s Oh to Be in England and my colleague declaimed some ancient Greek, but it was Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau which brought the house down! Sadly, on a recent visit the guide would not let us test the acoustics, claiming it would damage the theatre. MAGGIE CAINEN _Swansea_ Continue reading...

An 11-year-old has become 'America's Top Young Scientist' for her sensor detecting lead in water
[Gitanjali Rao Winner]Andy King, Discovery Education * 11-YEAR-OLD GITANJALI RAO WON THIS YEAR'S DISCOVERY EDUCATION AND 3M YOUNG SCIENTIST CHALLENGE. * HER WINNING INVENTION WAS A SENSOR THAT CAN MORE ACCURATELY DETECT LEAD LEVELS IN WATER COMPARED TO CURRENT METHODS. * RAO HOPES TO BECOME EITHER A GENETICIST OR EPIDEMIOLOGIST AND SELL HER DEVICE SOMEDAY. Gitanjali Rao, an 11-year-old from Lone Tree, Colorado, is the winner of this year's Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge for her sensor that can detect lead levels in water better than traditional methods. Rao, whose victory was announced late in the evening of Tuesday, October 17, will take home $25,000 for the idea, which she said she developed approximately five months ago in response to learning about the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan . [Gitanjali Rao Tethys 3.JPG]Andy King, Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge"The idea just came to me when I saw my parents testing for lead in our water," Rao, a seventh-grader, told Business Insider. "I went, 'Well, this is not a reliable process and I've got to do something to change this.'" Lead-contaminated water is a problem for more than 5,300 water systems in the US, according to 2016 data. If people want to test their water, they generally rely on one of two methods. They can either use lead-testing strips, which are fast but not entirely accurate; or they can send the water to the EPA for analysis, which is time-consuming and requires expensive equipment, Rao explained. She wanted to devise a smarter, more effective solution. Over the course of the summer, Rao worked with 3M scientists to bring her proposed sensor to life. The device, which Rao named Tethys after the Greek goddess for water, uses carbon nanotubes to detect the presence of lead. She tuned, or "doped," the carbon nanotubes specifically to detect lead, pairing the device with a mobile app displaying the water's status. [Gitanjali Rao Presentation]Andy King, Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist ChallengeNow that she's won, Rao said she hopes to refine the device further. Eventually, she hopes to sell the sensor to anyone living in an area where lead contamination is a problem. Rao wants to be either a geneticist or epidemiologist (someone who studies the spread of disease) when she grows up. Lead contamination was interesting to her, she said, because it combines both disciplines. "If you take a shower in contaminated water, you do get rashes and that can easily be studied by an epidemiologist," she said. "And if somebody drinks lead in their water, their children might have small, minor defects." In either case, she said the goal with Tethys was simply to reach as many people as possible. "I studied a little bit of both of these topics since I was really interested in these fields," she said, "and then I came up with this device to help save lives." NOW WATCH: Scientists think they've finally solved the mystery of the 'alien megastructure' star

Trump says he 'can never support' a key part of bipartisan Obamacare stabilization deal
[donald trump] * PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED THAT HE SUPPORTS GOP SEN. LAMAR ALEXANDER "AS A PERSON," BUT THAT HE CAN'T SUPPORT A KEY PART OF THE BIPARTISAN OBAMACARE PACKAGE HE HELPED CRAFT. * TRUMP HAS CALLED THE COMPONENT IN QUESTION, COST-SHARING REDUCTION PAYMENTS, A "BAIL OUT" FOR HEALTH INSURERS. * TRUMP SEEMED TO SUPPORT THE PACKAGE AT FIRST ON TUESDAY, BUT HAS BEEN BACKING DOWN FROM THAT SUPPORT SINCE TUESDAY EVENING. ------------------------- President Donald Trump added to confusion over the new Obamacare stabilization package in a tweet on Wednesday, saying he "could not support" a key part of the plan. "I am supportive of Lamar as a person & also of the process, but I can never support bailing out ins co's who have made a fortune w/ O'Care," the president tweeted. Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Republican and chair of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, announced that he and Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat and ranking member of the committee, reached a deal on a bill Tuesday after roughly two months of negotiating. As part of that deal, the cost sharing reduction (CSR) payments in the Affordable Care Act (the formal name for Obamacare) would be funded through 2019. The CSRs help defray costs to insurers since the companies are mandated to provide plans with low out-of-pocket costs to poorer Americans. For the last few years, CSR payments have been paid through the executive branch, a practice that was challenged by the Republican-controlled House. A judge ruled in 2016 that the way CSRs were paid was illegal, but the ruling was challenged by the Obama administration. Trump decided to drop that challenge and discontinue the payments Thursday. To solve this issue, the Alexander-Murray plan included the payments, but Trump has painted CSRs a "bail out" for insurers in the days since his decision to end them. Despite their inclusion in the bipartisan deal, Trump appeared supportive of the plan when asked about it at a press conference with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday. "So they are indeed working, but it is a short-term solution so that we don't have this very dangerous little period — including dangerous periods for insurance companies, by the way," Trump said. "For a period of one year, two years, we will have a very good solution." Later, in a speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation, Trump appeared to walk back his support for the package somewhat. "While I commend the bipartisan work done by Senators Alexander and Murray — and I do commend it — I continue to believe Congress must find a solution to the Obamacare mess instead of providing bailouts to insurance companies," Trump said Tuesday night. A White House spokesperson told Business Insider that the tweet on Wednesday represented the president's position. At the same time, however, Alexander said that Trump was supportive of the plan and helped craft it. "Trump completely engineered the plan that we announced yesterday," Alexander said at an Axios event Wednesday morning.
