An increasing number of hares have been causing such chaos at Milan's city airport that officials have decided to take immediate measures to try and catch them.Linate airport will close for three hours on Sunday while 200 wildlife experts go out on the runways to catch about 80 hares. Hares have been active on the runways for months, confusing the ground radar, and endangering planes landing and taking off, say officials. "In the last two weeks hares have ended up below the wheels of two planes," said Alberto Grancini,the Milan province official in charge of hunting and wildlife."They could have caused serious accidents."
The Milan airport officials said that the hare population at Linate had greatly increased this year leading to several attempts to drive them away from the airport. Unfortunately the hares have refused to leave, so the decision has been made to close the airport altogether to try to catch them.
The operation begins on Saturday, when an area of 4 square kilometres will be closed off including the runways and aircraft parking areas. The hare hunters will move in at the beginning of the day on Sunday, catching hares until 8.00 a.m. when Linate will reopen. Twelve flights will have to be rescheduled for later in the day. The hares will be taken to protected nature reserves in the Milan area and will be set free, in the hope that they do not find their way back to the airport.
Linate, which is only 7 km from the centre of Milan, was built in the 1930s, and served as the city's main airport until the modernization of Malpensa, 50 km up the road. Linate is mainly used by national carriers such as Alitalia and British Airways.
Certain Types of Books
Have you noticed certain types of books missing from your library shelves? Marley Dias noticed that something important was missing from the books she was reading in school. "I wasn't seeing girls like me ---- black girls who are smart. " she says. In fact, most of the stories her class was reading in school didn't feature any characters at all who were black. "Black girls are not being described fully," Marley explains.
She complained to her mother about this. Dias'mother was unwilling to simply accept her complaints, so she challenged her daughter, and what Marley did next won her the 2016 Awesome Person of The Year Award.
"what are you going to do about it?" my mom asked.And I told her I was going to start a book drive, where black girls are the main characters in the book. So the 11-year-old New Jersey girl set out to collect 1,000 amazing stories featuring black girls."Black girls need to see stories about girls like them."Marley says. "Our voices and stories are so important." She created the ＃1000blackgirlsbooks, and her book from people all over the world.She has collected more than 7,000 books of many different styles and was asked to speak on several big talk shows. "People were surprised because I'm 11.But they were also proud of me,"she explains.
Marley decided to donate the books to a school in Jamaica,where her mom is from. "We sent the books in person," Marley says.Marley is still collecting books and speaking about the importance of black girl characters. "You don't have to be the best," she says."You just have to do your best and do what you love."
