With any back injury, always talk to a doctor first to check if it is serious. Keep moving - for example, go swimming or
walking. And it’s usually fine to lean back in comfortable chair.
This type of crime is a growing problem in the U.S and Canada. People lose billions of dollars every year hoping to get
the prize of their dreams. Victims of telephone scams are often called a second time by the same criminals who pretend
to be government lawyers. The victims are told they can get their money back if they pay a legal fee or government tax.
These criminals usually can't be caught because they call from outside the country and use telephone numbers that
can't be traced to real people or companies. If you haven't entered a contest, you probably haven't won anything. Don't
be fooled by telephone fraud: never send money or give out your credit card information in order to receive a ‘prize’.

“The problem is human nature,” says a leading environmentalist, 'because changing to more eco-friendly habits means
not having some of the things we’re used to. Instead of telling people what luxuries they will be giving up by changing
their behavior, we have to give a more positive message about what they will be gaining.
Changing consumer behavior is complex, but he most effective pressure that can be applied is financial. While gas
prices remained affordable, people used their cars without thinking about the environmental cost. But as world oil prices
increase, car owners are looking for ways to reduce car use. In countries where public transportation is limited, many
people have few alternatives. What is clear is that it will take more than recycling paper and plastic to save the planet.

a. make things more expensive c. tell people about the environmental cost
b. convince people it’s the right thing to do d. let people use their cars

But imagine finding your vacation photos in an advertisement, copied from the Internet without your permission. As an
amateur photographer, you thought they were "just pictures", but someone else decided they had value and used them
to make money. That person stole your property.
Photo theft or image theft, is a growing problem, especially for professional photographers who advertise on the web.
Any photo can easily be copied and used illegally, and often the people who do it don't realize they are committing a
crime. The ones who do probably know it won't be caught.
How can you protect yourself and your images? Professional photography associations recommend using photo editing
programs to add text to your photos. For example, using a special sign on the pictures or using sophisticated software
allows you to make the pictures "flash" or add moving images so that can't be copied. Finally, give your photo files
unusual names so that people won't find them easily when they look for them on Internet as common subjects like "the
beach".
A few forward-thinking companies are investing in renewable energy, reducing their use of oil and coal, recycling more,
and consuming less in order to reduce their carbon footprint. Although companies like these are preparing to live in a
reduced-carbon world, most businesses have been slow in reducing their negative impact on the environment. What
might encourage them to finally start changing their environmental policies will probably be a combination of legal,
political, and business pressures.
Laws on carbon emissions are likely to be affected by changes in government policy. In the United States, lawyers from
eight states have tried to sue some of the biggest power-producing companies to force them to reduce their carbon
emissions. In addition, the effects of new weather patterns such as high winds, hurricanes, fires, and floods are making
Insurance companies look seriously at climate change, as they pay out more and more money for the damage caused
by these events. Insurers are now forcing companies to think of such damage as an important business risk.
