      While we turn to our loved ones and friends for comfort, think hard about those whose impact on your life is more distant, but no less meaningful. Think about an undocumented father, ignored or scorned by his community, who is putting himself at 31 in the fields today to feed his family and yours. Think about a single mother, who stocks shelves at night and drives a city bus in the morning, without 32 so much would fall apart. Think about the hospital orderly, scrubbing down the ward on hands and knees, whose work today is as solitary and 33 as a high priest purifying a temple. Most of all, think about how you─blessed 34 a world-class education─might act and work and be differently when all of this is said and done. Memorialize in your heart the way in which these times 35 what really matters: the health and well being of our loved ones, the resilience of our communities, and the sacrifices made by those─from doctors to garbage collectors─who give their whole selves to serving others.

       Sea otters are known for being one of the most beloved mammals in the world. Not only are they playful and clever, but they also have interesting behaviors that help them stay safe. For starters, sea otters are 36 to hold hands while they are sleeping to keep them from floating away. Also, sea otters are often seen 37 their adorable faces or other parts of their body for a matter of life or death. That is, because they do not have the fat other sea animals have, they must groom a lot to 38 getting water into the skin. If they do not do so, they might be at risk of losing too much 39 and freezing to death, especially for the sea otters that live in cold-water places. Besides staying well-groomed themselves, mothers spend a lot of time helping their young pups groom by licking them since younger sea otters do not know how to do it by themselves. These actions may just appear cute to humans, but are 40 to their survival in the wild.

       Researchers have discovered there could be a good reason why women spend so long in the morning getting ready for work─they get paid more if they wear makeup and do their hair.

       Sociologists Jaclyn Wong and Andrew Penner concluded that attractive people get paid around 20 percent more than what they called “average” people. They found that both physically attractive men and women tended to earn more than average-looking employees. They added that the more a woman cared about her looks, the more attractive she appeared. However, the researchers also said that for men, only about half of the effect of attractiveness was due to grooming. This is mainly because women are more readily judged by their looks, so presentation becomes important to them.

       The study was conducted by the universities of Chicago and California. The researchers analyzed data from 14,000 participants who were questioned about their salary, job, education, personality, social behavior and other characteristics. The interviewers were also asked to rate each participant on how attractive and well-groomed they were. Researchers said that people were biased when it comes to beauty because of a “halo effect.” They think someone who is attractive on the outside will also be beautiful on the inside. The researchers noted that the idea that humans are influenced by beauty bias is not new.

    Described by his peers and family as “a bloody exasperating child,” Paul Bono got a reputation at an early age for both forgetting things and arguing a lot. He was also wickedly curious. From a strange cross of punk rock and blues music plus a bad attitude, a star was born.

       Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, in 1960, Paul Hewson (known as his stage name Bono) is the second child of Bobby and Iris Hewson. Like any other person, Paul has suffered many ups and downs in his life. At age 14, Paul experienced the loss of his beloved mother. Some people say that she died at her father’s funeral and others say it was a few days after. Whenever it was, it must have been a terrible thing for the young boy. It was not long after his mother’s death that Paul got his new name. His high school mate, Guggi, gave him the name Bono Vox. Initially, Bono did not like the name; however, when he learned it translated to “good voice,” he accepted it. Later, Bono Vox shortened his name to Bono.

       On 25 September 1976, Bono responded to an advertisement on a bulletin board at Mount Temple posted by a fellow student to form a rock band. This band later became known as “U2.” Bono writes the lyrics for almost all U2 songs, which often have social and political themes. Known for his popularity, fame, and fortune, the controversial star was awarded the 1999 MTV Free Your Mind Award for his work with charities. Bono continues to contribute heavily to debt relief in Africa. With U2, Bono has won numerous awards, including Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Award, and so on. As the co-founder of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa), Bono has given his commitment to end poverty in his lifetime. With his charm, and a sometimes unfavorable mix of politics and music, Bono continues to travel the world with dedication, making a compassionate contribution to future generations. In a word, “Bono,” a name that echoes worldwide, has made his footprint in history.
