PROBLEM: Article: A HOLIDAY jet pilot said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking. He warned Maureen Harkavy, "Put that cigarette out, or I'll land the plane and have you arrested." Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline's chairman.But his reply was even ruder. "You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbors' atmosphere," wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways. (a)Said Maureen, "I only found out about it when I was checking in.I'm a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight.A stewardess asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane." She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived. (b) "I've never seen such an unpleasant letter." She said, "I don't think I'll ever fly again." But there was a funny side.Maureen explained, "We were offered duty-free cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!" (c) Mr.Ferriday went on: "Believe me, you haven't.Especially when you travel on my planes." Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal.But they were not told of the company's no smoking policy. (d) "He was loud and rude," said Maureen."He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police." Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

PROBLEM: Article: "Ten years ago I could never have imagined I'd be doing this,"says Greg Pal,33,a former software executive. "I mean ,this is essentially agriculture ,right? But the people I talk to, especially the ones coming out of business school , think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into ." He means bugs. To be more accurate, the genetic change of bugs---very, very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw ,they do something extraordinary . They excrete crude oil. Unbelievably ,this is not science fiction .Mr. Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could ,in theory ,be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us .Not that Mr. Pal was willing to risk it just yet .He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls "renewable petroleum ".After that ,he smiles ,"It's a brave new world." Mr. Pal is a senior director of LS9,one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley.The company is not interested in using corn as material ,given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel .Instead ,different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy :wheat straw in California ,for example ,or woodchip in the south. Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars? "It's not the same as with food,"Mr. Pal say ."We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container. Their entire universe is in that tank .When we've done with them .they are destroyed." " Besides ",he says ,"there is greater good being served."" I have two children, and climate change is something that they are going to face .The energy crisis is something that they are going to face .We have a collective responsibility to do this."

PROBLEM: Article: Most people think about donating blood. However, very few actually do it. Even the most consistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern-day technology. The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a "thank you" text. Though that certainly helps them feel appreciated, what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need. Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. _ that was started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country. However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone's life. While all these outreach( ) programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people for authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e-mail reminders. Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light-hearted and fun -- things like "We won't give up until you bleed." Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations, don't be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic country's blood banks start to overflow!
Question: Why is another text sent to blood donors after a "thank you" one?
