| 'Go away, Smarty' and New Arctic Arrivals Posted by Sam Erica on 12/02/2004, 7:52am | ||
| The world's smartest woman can't get a job that pays more than $200 per month 'Go away, Smarty' "The following is a sobering story from Bulgaria, where the world's cleverest woman can't even get a job," writes Michael Millar in Personnel Today. "Daniela Simidchieva, a mother of three, has an IQ of almost 200, backed up with five Masters degrees. Moreover, she is recognized by the country's Mensa office as the world's cleverest woman. Poor Daniela is qualified as an industrial engineer, an English teacher and an electrical engineer, and yet she can't get a job that commands a salary of anything more than [$200 Canadian] a month. She says employers in Bulgaria just don't want clever staff." Also, on the same page: New Arctic arrivals "Global warming is increasingly rendering Inuit and other Arctic peoples at a loss for words," writes Geoffrey Lean Sheila in The Independent on Sunday. "They have plenty of ways of describing their own wildlife . . . but [have] none for say, the [European robin], which is only now venturing north of the treeline. The Inuit are reduced to describing it as 'the bird with the red breast' in their language, said Sheila Watt-Cloutier, chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference." Nor, she said, are there words for salmon, hornets and barn owls, all of which are appearing in the Arctic for the first time. | ||
