Another day -- another nay (information rejection)


I started my radar today and found (among other things): a possible medicine that could save many hundreds $billions worldwide (what health sectors and drug companies are going to do?) and softdrink can give us diabetes; 9 millions chinese try to improove their brains and 9 millions chinese are losing their brains (China growth rate is 0.4871% at 2013 the population is 1344 million+) ;  Half of the world are getting "obese" and another half "not enough to eat" (How should we distribute food globally?); and the hightlight is a letter to the editor on "a national game without a referee". I have enough yeahs and nays for today ;-)

Metal bra clasps have been banned in China for students who are sitting the university entrance exam.

...Students in the northeastern province of Jilin were banned from wearing clothing with metal parts, and education authorities installed metal detectors to clamp down on 'wireless cheating devices', the state-run Global Times reported.

Authorities have become increasingly concerned about the risk of examinees using devices such as smartphones - some of which have become smaller and easier to hide - as an illicit aid during tests.
Around 9.12 million high school students were registered across China to sit the crucially important two-day exam, known as the gaokao...

The southern city of Guangzhou introduced dedicated lanes for vehicles taking students to the gaokao, local media said, while parents in China's business hub of Shanghai booked taxis a week in advance for their children.

Parents across the country visited temples to make offerings for their children's success, the Global Times said, while others were shown waiting outside exam rooms with food and drink specially prepared for their children.

The test has come under fierce criticism in China for putting enormous pressure on students.

It's also a symbol of educational inequality, with many low-income students whose parents have migrated to cities barred from taking the exam in their new homes.
