FALL/AUTUMN ISSUE
16th October 2014
NOT SO ORDINARY 3RD OF SEPTEMBER
By Margaret and Triinu-Liis
On September 3rd our school's International Baccalaureate
Diploma Program students had a wonderful, once in a lifetime
chance to attend President Barack Obama's speech at Nokia
Concert Hall. The speech started at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but
students had to arrive early to go through a high level security
check which could be compared to an airport one. Every student
was given a random seat in the audience and some of us were
lucky enough to be placed next to politicians, ministers or other
important Estonian figures. Before the President started his
speech, there was a young Estonian student named Oskar Poola
who gave an introductory speech. By that time the audience was
thrilled to finally hear the President’s speech.
As the President stepped on the stage, he received loud applause
from the audience. At the beginning of his speech, he spoke about
the history of Estonia, showing us how well-prepared he was and
also his passion towards our country. He really appreciated the fact
that Estonians had been strong enough during the Soviet times, to
establish independence, which to some, at the time, might have
sounded like a mission impossible to complete. Then, he started
the serious part of the speech; he discussed how NATO and the
US will always help to protect Estonia and other Baltic countries
such as Latvia and Lithuania. His opinion about Ukraine's
situation and Russia was very strong and he was not afraid to share
it with us.
In conclusion, the speech was very enjoyable and educating and
gave each one of us a great new experience.
EBOLA OUTBREAK
By Elliina
The year 2014 brought a major outbreak of a disease, which is by
now famous and bears the name Ebola. The epidemic first made
its appearance this year in Guinea.
As of September 21st, there have been officially 6263 registered
cases, out of which 2917 remained uncured and resulted in th
death of the patient. However, The World Health Organisation
(WHO), who presented the public with the previous numbers, has
hinted that the number of deaths has already surpassed 3000.
The symptoms of the Ebola virus are quite similar to a cold or
pneumonia, especially in its beginning stages. They include fever,
muscle pain, coughing, a sore throat, stomach pain, headaches,
hiccups and quite a few other unpleasant sensations. The virus
itself causes internal and external bleeding and heavily damages
one’s immune system, affecting and sometimes preventing the
body from any hints of fighting back. By causing small instances
of internal bleeding, it allows blood the to clot and create even
heavier, later unstoppable instance of bleeding.
According to most experiments, Ebola does not spread through air
all too easily and is most likely to be attained through direct
contact with someone already infected. As far as one knows, Ebola
came in contact with humans through animals such as monkeys
and fruit bats through bodily fluids or skin contact. To prevent the
virus from spreading as much as possible, the patients, who are
suspected to be infected, are immediately isolated.
The death rate has been jumping from 25% to 90%, however, even
without an official cure, there have still been amazing recoveries.
There have been huge advances in medicine that may bring
scientists closer to finding a solution.
While some believe Ebola to be uncurable or even fear it will bring
forth stronger and even deadlier diseases, many still hold hope and
faith and continue marching forward, relentlessly searching for a
