Change and a city in China. In Chengdu, factory 420 is being pulled down to make way for multi-story buildings with luxury flats. Scenes of factory operations, of the workforce, and of buildings stripped bare and then razed, are inter-cut with workers who were born in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s telling their stories – about the factory, which manufactured military aircraft, and about their work and their lives. A middle-aged man visits his mentor, now elderly; a woman talks of being a 19-year-old beauty there and ending up alone. The film concludes with two young people talking, each the child of workers, each relaying a story of one visit to a factory. Times change.


What are the odds of a pro athlete dating the sibling of another pro athlete? It's more common than you'd think! Probably because all of the sports stars and their sibs run in similar circles. A lot of times, teammates even introduce each other to their family members, hoping they'll be a good match. This list of athletes who dated other athletes' siblings is loosely ranked by popularity.
Whether they play in the NBA, MLB, NFL, or NHL, plenty of professional sports stars have found romance with the family members of fellow players. There are athletes who dated other athletes' sisters, and sports legends who met their life mates through their teammates. Did you know MLB star Kevin Youkilis married Tom Brady's sister? Or that Steve Nash's sister married a professional hockey player? Check out the list below for more information!
The top overall pick of the 2011 NBA draft and Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, Kyrie Irving, dated Callie Rivers, who is the sister of Los Angeles Clippers point guard Austin Rivers. Callie is also the daughter of Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers. The two are no longer together. Kyrie went on to date singer Kehlani and had a kid with former Miss Texas Andrea Wilson.
In 2010, Miami Heat power forward Amar'e Stoudemire dated professional tennis player Serena Williams, who is the sister of the professional tennis player, Venus Williams. Sadly the two broke up, and Stoudemire is married to Alexis Welch (m. 2012) with three children.
The retired strong safety, who played all 12 of his years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is married to Theodora Holmes (m. 2005) who is the sister of former Miami Dolphins tight end, Alex Holmes. The two began dating while both attending the University of Southern California, after being introduced Alex. In 2003, the couple moved to Pittsburgh when the Steelers drafted Troy.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is married to Kelly Hall (m.2015), who is the younger sister of NFL wide receiver Chad Hall. The couple met while attending the University of Georgia where she was a member of the cheerleading team.


Together with the OECD, the Education World Forum, Imagine Education and Polycom Education Fast Forward hosted the 18th global EFF debate.
EFF18, chaired by Gavin Dykes, took place in front of a live audience at the Education World Forum. The forum attracts delegates from over 100 countries and 80 Ministers of Education.
The panel discussed the recent PISA results from the point of view of the fourth industrial revolution. Panellists included Andreas Schleicher from the OECD and Karen Cator of Digital Promise. Summing up the debate was Dr Mmantsetsa Marope. Mmantsetsa's currently the Director of the UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE). They were joined, by experts and groups of teachers using video conference and Skype chat, from countries around the world including Australia, South Korea, South Africa and Singapore.
The "fourth industrial revolution" points to the remarkable advances in information technologies, artificial biological sciences, reproductive technologies, neuroscience and synthetic biology. In the first industrial revolution, new skills were required to operate machinery. In the second industrial revolution jobs became more specialized and repetitive, while skills in managing work gained in value. In the digital revolution, repetitive cognitive jobs became increasingly redundant and non-routine cognitive, interactive roles increased in value.
EFF18 took place in front of a global audience of Ministers and Ministries of Education at the Education World Forum in London on January 23rd. The panel were joined by experts in Polycom video conference facilities from Singapore and India to Brazil and the USA. Groups of teachers also took part from The UK, USA, Norway, Zimbabwe, Latvia, Egypt, Poland, France and South Korea.
