Reports of Military Sexual Assault Rise Sharply

By JENNIFER STEINHAUER

Congress is considering changes to the military justice system that would give victims more resources and possibly reduce the power of commanders to reverse offenders' convictions. 

If he let it burn, it would be for the sake of what wildfire experts call resource benefit: letting fire play its proper role in the ecosystem, and allowing forests in the West to revert to the conditions that characterized them in the days before every wildfire was extinguished as quickly as possible. That practice — pursued for more than a century, and today recognized by scientists as a really dumb idea — allowed younger trees and underbrush to flourish in many places, increasing the density of flammable material and thus exposing forests to fires hotter and more intense than they had evolved in response to. Now firefighters like Klimek look for ways to reduce the potential fuel in the environment, which sometimes means letting lower-intensity fires burn and watching them closely. This seemed like an opportunity for just such a “managed” fire.

Ostler contends that the future promises something quite different: a new linguistic world order, in which China, India, Russia and Brazil, increasingly dominant economically, will discover that they can secure their positions in the global marketplace without recourse to English. The international form of the language will evaporate, and English will revert to being spoken only in its native heartlands. Those heartlands will be less important politically and commercially.奧斯特勒則認為，未來可能會出現完全不同的圖景：在新的世界語言格局中，隨著中國、印度、俄羅斯以及巴西在經濟上逐漸變得舉足輕重，它們會發現即使不借助英語，同樣能鞏固自身在全球市場中的地位。國際性的語言將不復存在，英語會重新成為尋常語言，只有英語發源國家與地區才會繼續使用它，屆時那些國家與地區在政治上和經濟上都將不再舉足輕重。
