Thick smog in China forced airlines to cancel flights, as heavy-polluting factories in Beijing were temporarily shut down to ease the pollution.

Street lamps and outlines of buildings were barely visible in the Chinese capital, as pedestrians donned face masks to guard against the smoke. The government advised residents to stay indoors as much as possible because the pollution was “severe”.

The flight cancellations prevented the passengers from flying during the first week of the country’s busiest period of travel, due to the Chinese New Year on February 10. Many passengers were left waiting at the airport, as information was scarce.

Unbeetable: The humble root which fights cancer

 and lowers blood pressure

With its sweet, earthy taste and ruby-red interior, beetroot is a favourite of foods, but there’s far more to it than that.

The majority of beetroot’s benefits stem from the unusually high level of nitrates it contains.

Nitrates have suffered a bad reputation because of their use as a food additive. However, recent studies have shown that nitrates in beetroot lower blood pressure.

A study carried out in 2010 also found that the ____ the blood pressure, the _____ the drop observed. If beetroot juice is consumed widely, there will be reduction in death from cardiovascular disease.

Among other benefits, beetroots may also slow progression of dementia and growth of tumours.

Charles Lindbergh’s achievement

On 20th May 1927 a small fixed-wing single-engined aeroplane loaded with its maximum capacity of fuel (450 gallons) struggled to get airborne as it bounced down the runway at Roosevelt Field, New York. To avoid extra weight, the parachute, the radio and even the brakes had been removed by the mechanic. At last it lifted off, just avoiding some telephone wires, and disappeared into the distance.

Thirty hours later a hundred thousand Parisians lined up at the Le Bourget Airport to wait for the arrival of the plane. It was 10 o’clock at night.

Burning lanterns marked out the runway. Then came the low-pitched sound of an engine and a wave of excitement swept through the crowd. The Spirit of St. Louis touched down and rolled to the end of the runway. Out of the plane stepped a tall handsome American – Charles Lindbergh. He’d just become the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic, and he was

destined to become one of the most famous men in the world.
