  Nurses took strike action for a second time this year and we can expect more coming next year. The Royal College of Nurses says its members should have a 19% pay rise. They rejected a offer off 7,5% rise, which is small comparing to over 11% inflation. The strike mostly affect patients that don’t need urgent care and the routine care patients. But how much money earns average nurse in UK? The starting salary for a nurse is England is just over £27,000 a year, A nurse with four years' experience could earn close to £33,000 and specialist nurses can make up to £47,000. It can’t be argued that they deserve a rise. With that amount of work and years of training and practice they should earn more. They are essential to keep the citizens healthy and safe. source: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-63561305

According to researchers, students stayed up late because they didn’t get enough exposure to natural light. Other researchers found out that each additional hour of daytime light was linked to improved circadian rhythms. I think it’s true in my case and I can see this pattern in my everyday life. During winter moths I tend to stay up over a hour and a half more than usual but I still wake up at the usual time. source:https://www.healthline.com/health-news/exposure-to-natural-light-during-the-day-may-help-you-sleep-better

  Government wanted to convince Chinese population that potatoes should be a staple of their everyday diet. Due to the fact that potatoes cultivation in China contributes 20% of the global production, but their potato consumption is below world average. Some scientist state that potato plantation can reduce emotion of green house gasses and they require less energy to maintain that rice or corn. This is important because countries feel pressure on the global food system because of climate change, covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion on the Ukraine. More countries should become sustainable and independent in face of economical crisis that we’re facing. I believe that the   information about the increased consumption of potatoes is intend to arouse internal demand and increase production, which will transfer into Chinese better economical results. What leads to China not only being the number one world potatoes planters but also the biggest potatoes consumer in world.   s...
