United states
over the past ten years, airport security screeners have confiscated
some 50 million prohibited items, according to a U.S Department of
Homeland Security report. In 2011 alone, screeners prevented more than
1,200 fireams from being taken onto planes. Most of the owners said
that they had simply forgetten they were carring a gun.
* Brazil
Education authorities have begun to embed electronic chips into school
uniforms in an effort to fight truancy. A parent gets one text message
when sensors detect his or her child's arrival at school and a
different message if the child is more than 20 minutes late.
* Norway
The lutheran Church is no longer Norway's official state religion. In
an unprecedented measure, the Norwaywegian Parliament voted to amend
the constitution and losen the bonds between Church and State.
* Czech Republic
When surveyed, two thirds of Czech employees said that they feel
obligated to answer work-related calls, e-mails, or text messages when
they are not a work. More than a third consider it rude not to reply
immediately.
* India
Despite a surge of almost 50 percent in food production over the past
20 years and stockpiles of 71 million tons of rice and wheat, india
still struggles to feed its people. Only about 40 percent of
stockpiled grains reach indian homes. Corruption and waste are part of
the problem.
