the populations are coming back, mostly thanks to legislation. The Clean Water Act

unions, and the Carbon Capture Collective, a
coalition of business and environmental

50 YEARS

(The New York Times)

AFTER THE
MOON LANDING
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing
On 20 July, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin – two of the
three crew onboard the Apollo 11 mission – became the first humans to set foot on
the moon, giving the United States a considerable advantage in the space race. Their
‘giant step for mankind’ was followed live by nearly 600 million viewers
worldwide. Some Americans, who witnessed this historic event either close up or
from afar, remember…

O n May 25, 1961, then-Pres-

ident John F. Kennedy ad-
dressed Congress with the challenge
of the U.S. being the first country to land
someone on the moon. “I believe that this na-
tion should commit itself to achieving the goal,
before this decade is out, of landing a man on
the moon and returning him safely to the
Earth,” Kennedy reportedly said. “No single

sive to mankind, or more important for the
long-range exploration of space; and none will
be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.” 
2. It would take eight years — and Kennedy
would not be alive to witness it — but on July 20,
1969, the Apollo 11 mission reached the moon,
and in the early morning hours (Coordinated
Universal Time) of July 21, 1969, astronauts Neil
Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin walked on
the moon’s surface. 
3. About 2 1/2 hours after landing, Aldrin radioed
to Earth: “This is the LM (lunar module) pilot.
I’d like to take this opportunity to ask every
person listening in, whoever and wherever they
may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate
the events of the past few hours and to give
thanks in his or her own way.”

7. Bias remembers a lot of the aftermath of
the moon landing, from the astronauts’
splashdown return on July 24, 1969, to the
coverage of the quarantine astronauts went
through upon their return. “We don’t know
what this could be,” Bias said of the mental-
ity following the astronauts’ return. Space
exploration was such a new frontier that it
was unknown if astronauts would come back
with radiation poisoning or other such com-
plications at that time.  1969
8. Bias also remembers the surrounding enter-

Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip had a moon land-

9. The moon landing is an event that has stayed
with Bias, and is something he has talked about
with his parents over the years and with his
own children as well. His family went on trips
to Cape Canaveral and Houston to visit space
centers. He said it’s hard to put into words for
his children, though. “To my kids, the space
program is kind of ho-hum,” he said. “They (the
astronauts) were the first original rock stars.

CHINA'S LOVE-HATE
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE U.S.
Conflicting emotions between China and the US
China and the United States have been involved in a trade war for several months now. In May, the U.S. raised its tariff on imports
to 25% for over 200 billion dollars worth of Chinese merchandise, which triggered a response by Beijing of increasing tariffs on
American products. Has the perception of the United States by Chinese people changed over these exchanges?

THE GUARDIAN DAN SABBAGH

THERESA MAY NEVER HAD

A GRIP ON HER CROWN
Government over... for Theresa May
(to have a grip on to have a firm control of / crown here, symbol of power)
On June 7, Theresa May stepped down as British Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party, having failed to get her
Brexit deal with the E.U. through Parliament. According to a journalist with British newspaper, The Guardian, Theresa May’s
legacy will be her failure to implement Brexit. A retrospective look at her troubled premiership.

T heresa May will ultimately be remem-

bered as the prime minister who was
defeated by Brexit. Her task was to reconcile a
nation split by the surprise referendum result.
But if it was possible to achieve a graceful exit
from the European Union, or indeed any exit,
May utterly failed to negotiate it. The crown
had fallen unexpectedly into her lap. David
Cameron and George Osborne had already
catastrophically misjudged the public mood
over Europe. Boris Johnson had misjudged his
relationship with Michael Gove. 

2. She gave the appearance of the only remain-

ing grown-up in the race, and when her last
remaining rival, Andrea Leadsom, pulled out,
May entered No 10 in July 2016, just three weeks
after the referendum. However, the meticulous
but cautious home secretary had had no real
time to work up an agenda for government.
There was no obvious blueprint for Brexit,
which May had, ironically, come out against
during the referendum campaign. So as the new
prime minister arrived in Downing Street, she
made a pledge about something else.  >>>

3. May promised to fight “burning injustice”
– and on her first day in office said she aimed
to reverse the disadvantages of race, class,

brought in chief Brexiter Johnson as foreign

she struggled to engender loyalty among those

FATAL SNAP ELECTION
6. Comfortably ahead of Labour in the polls,
May decided to hold a snap general election
during an Easter walking holiday in Wales
with her husband, Philip. Projections at the
time suggested the Tories could secure a
majority of 140, with nearly 400 seats, while
Labour would plunge below 200, which would
have been the opposition party’s worst result
since the 1920s. But the election campaign was

7. The prime minister was awkward and un-
incomprehensible in difficult moments. No 10
had tried to build a campaign around her, be-
ginning with the ad nauseam repetition of the
phrase “strong and stable”. But May refused to
take part in television debates, leading to ac-
cusations she was afraid. Nor could the prime
minister create a rapport with the electorate.
John Crace, the Guardian’s sketch writer, first
dubbed her “the Maybot” in November 2016
and the term gained a wide circulation during
the campaign, even in the rightwing press and
servatives lost their majority in parliament and
May had to secure a deal with the DUP to prop
up the government.

and largely in secret, relying heavily on top
official Oliver Robbins, whom she took from

“by a significant margin”. It was the first in a
succession of humiliations. By now enough let-

the chairman of the Conservative party’s back-

Yet, speaking outside Down-

she had a “renewed mission”
that she said involved “deliver-
ing the Brexit that people
voted for” and failed other-
wise to change course. The
long-awaited “meaningful

12. Two months of mostly inconclusive talks
followed; with all sides feeling that May was
trying to run down the clock to the 29 March
deadline for Britain to leave the EU and force
MPs to agree to the deal she had negotiated.
But her bluff was called. May eventually braved
a second vote in mid-March. The deal was de-
feated by 149 votes. 
ONE LAST DESPERATE ACT
13. At this point, May’s authority collapsed,
although the Tory party proved unwilling
to administer the coup de grace, because
nobody else could see a way through the
Brexit impasse. Instead May was forced
back to Brussels twice to ask for extensions
that her own MPs would not vote for in
the Commons. Cabinet discipline had come
to an end. May lost a third Brexit vote on
what had been intended to be the Brexit
deadline of 29 March by 344 to 286. By now
she had conceded that her premiership
would soon end. 
14. An undesired European election had be-
come inevitable too, bringing back the one
rightwing politician with the courage to take
her on: Nigel Farage. Soon his Brexit party
was topping the polls before the prime min-
reckless act. May stunned colleagues in the
week of the election by promising to intro-
duce “a requirement to vote on whether to
hold a second referendum” so vehemently
opposed by almost all her own party. It
prompted yet another cabinet resignation,
that of Andrea Leadsom. With zero chance
of a fourth Brexit vote succeeding, there no
longer seemed any point in May being prime

Coca-Cola brings back New Coke in partnership with Netflix and Stranger Things 3 on Thursday,

BLAME NETFLIX FOR NEW

COKE'S COMEBACK
Netflix brings back New Coke
The long-awaited third series of Stranger Things is set to return to Netflix on 4 July. The streaming giant has put in place an
impressive marketing strategy featuring an exceptional partnership with the Coca-Cola company.

N ew Coke, the soft drink that drew a

nationwide backlash in 1985, is back.
And the credit, or blame, for the return of Coca-
Cola’s greatest folly goes to Netflix. A limited
supply of the vintage beverage is now available
as part of a robust promotional campaign re-
lated to the coming season of Stranger Things,
the supernatural thriller set in the 1980s. New
Coke will also appear in several episodes of the
show. Representatives of both companies said

9. “I think we underestimate romantic comedy
in movies,” Boyle said. “Those things (romance
and humor) are essential nutrients in your life.”
For his part, Curtis said he’s attempted to carry
on the Beatles all-you-need-is-love philosophy in
his career. “I always feel that what I’d chosen to
do in my work has been, in a very junior version,
something like their tone,” Curtis said. “I try to
make myself happy and, in a funny way, kind
of ecstatic, which they always did without be-
coming only pop stars. Even their slow songs
are happy, like ‘Help!’ and ‘I’m So Tired’ and
‘You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.’” 
BEATLES REACTION
10. Early reaction from the Beatles camp has
been positive, although neither the surviving
Beatles, Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison nor their
company, Apple Corps Ltd, have any formal as-
sociation with Yesterday other than licensing
the songs. “I loved it,” Starr told The Times
through a spokeswoman while he was on tour
in Japan. “It’s a great premise — he’s like us but

Taylor Swift is "ME!"
Impossible not to be aware of Taylor Swift’s new single,
“Me!”, from her next album, which is due to be released
at the end of the year. This lively pop song, sung as a
duo with Brendon Urie, is accompanied by a colourful

The Independent: There are so many musical
references in the video – which did you draw
particular inspiration from?
Taylor Swift: I watch a lot of films and I’ve
always loved musicals. With this video, I
wanted it to be sort of a love letter to roman-
tic, epic musical films, but always with a
weird eccentric twist. Some of it was inspired
by big Disney films, or classics like Singin’ in
the Rain. The love story between the two main
characters in these films tends to be very
performative, and that’s exactly what I want-

2. Independent: What made you want to
work with Brendon Urie on the song?
T.S.: Brendon is the kind of performer I’ve al-
ways been in awe of. Endless energy, creativ-
ity and the desire to evolve every time he makes
something new. You also never hear anyone in
the industry say anything other than “he’s the
nicest, loveliest person”. He’s actually got so
many great qualities it’s almost obnoxious.

T.S.: I’ve always loved the French language.

as much as any non-French speaker can. I

important message you wanted to send to

T.S.: I wanted them to see that I’m heading
in a different direction musically than
they’ve seen in the past few years. This song
was to change expectations and be a bit of a
palate cleanser before they hear more of this
new project. Plus, the chorus just makes me
happy and lifts my mood when I sing it. I

THE ECONOMIST
LOOKING FOR GOLD
IN TREES
Where money does grow on trees...
The future looks good for many Australian gold prospectors. The reason is a newly
devised technique for analysing the components of leaves on trees to detect the
presence of gold in the surrounding earth.
I n the good old days, gold miners could seek
out visible specks of bling at the surface in
order to find deeper, richer veins. These days,
prospectors must examine samples of dirt for
more minute traces suggestive of a hidden seam
below. Analysing water from boreholes can also
yield clues, but boreholes are scarce and new ones
are costly and time-consuming to drill.  are associated with gold deposits, such as anti-
2. Trees offer an alternative that is finally bearing
fruit in Australia. The idea has been around since
the 1940s but, until now, never practical. Some
trees have roots that reach deep underground,
drawing up water and, along with it, tiny quanti-
ties of minerals that end up distributed through-
out the tree. In this way, even lofty leaves bear
traces of what lies far beneath. The quantities are
minuscule. In areas where there is no gold, leaves
may have a background level of 0.15 parts per
billion (ppb) of gold; on gold-rich sites that can rise
to 4ppb.
COLLECTING LEAVES
3. In theory, “biogeochemical” prospecting is a
simple matter of collecting leaves from across a

site and mapping mineral concentrations to reveal
subterranean treasures. It is best applied to dry
regions where plants seek out water with deep
roots. Some even break down soil to extract min-
eral nutrients, thus increasing the amount of
telltale minerals in their leaves. Gold is the obvious
element to look for, but checking for elements that
mony and bismuth, can also be sensible.
DIFFICULTIES
4. Sampling is harder than it sounds, though.
Different trees accumulate gold in different ways,
so exactly the same species must be sampled
across each site for valid comparisons. Acacia is
one of the trees of choice, but Australia has about
1,000 Acacia species, many of which look similar.
To confuse matters further, the degree to which
elements accumulate in leaves varies with the
seasons.
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
5. In proof-of-principle studies over the last few
years, Nathan Reid and his team at CSIRO, Aus-
tralia’s national science agency, have shown that

biogeochemical prospecting closely tallies with
the surface and groundwater analyses. Inspired
by these results, Marmota, an exploration firm,
put the method to the test at its Aurora Tank site,
50km from the highly-productive Challenger
mine in South Australia. Leaves collected imme-
diately around a known deposit that lies beneath
ten metres of rock contained traces of gold, validat-
ing the approach.
6. Further samples were taken 40 metres apart
around known deposits, and at wider spaces
farther out. This turned up several anomalies,
where gold seemed to be present but other tests
had shown nothing. Then came the pay-off. Drill-
ing revealed a five-metre-thick vein with 27g of
gold per tonne, more than 30 metres below the
surface. 
7. Marmota is keen to explore further. In the
outer sampling zone, the company found four
anomalies in an area where only one potential
seam had been identified. They have yet to be
drilled but plans are afoot. Prospecting with trees
is starting to look less like a scientific curiosity
and more like a golden opportunity. l

américaine dans le prestigieux Taj Mahal Palace Hôtel pour des
vacances en famille. C’est alors que débute une série d’attaques
coordonnées visant plusieurs lieux emblématiques de la ville,
dont l’hôtel du Taj Mahal. Tandis que ce dernier est pris d’assaut
par les terroristes islamistes, de nombreux employés tentent de
sauver les clients... Ce thriller inspiré de faits réels relate, sans
