    Shocking photo lays bare what 28 years of sun damage can do to your face

    (1º§)THOUGH GPs and dermatologists have issued countless warnings about how sun exposure can damage your skin, it can be hard to visualise what that actually might look like. But photos of a truck driver - whose right side permanently faced the sun for almost three decades - lay bare how much UV rays can wreak havoc on your face.

    (2º§)Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the portrait shows 69-year-old man who spent 28 years on the road, with one side of his face permanently exposed to the sun through the window while the other got respite from the interior of his truck.

    (3º§)The sun exposed side of his face is craggy, deeply lined and noticeably darker, but the skin on in the other side smoother and more lifted. The photo could almost show a 'before and after' transformation when split in two, with the left side of the driver's face allowing us to see what his whole face could have looked like had he worn sun cream and protected his skin from the sun.

    (4º§)According to the study, the left side showed signs "consistent with the Favre-Racouchot syndrome of photodamaged skin, known as dermatoheliosis". The skin on the damaged side of his face gradually thickened from sun exposure, in a process known as unilateral dermatoheliosis. Sunlight is made up of several components, including Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays and UVB rays.

    (5º§)Unlike UVB rays, UVA rays are capable of penetrating through glass windows and clouds, destroying the skin's elastic fibres and causing the driver's deep wrinkles. They can also be responsible for causing skin cancer. According to the journal, though the damage had already been done to the man's skin, he was told to start using topical retinoids and sunscreen while also going for regular skin cancer check ups.

    (6º§)Though the journal initially published its findings in 2012, they are more topical than ever, as UK skin cancer cases reached a record high and are expected to multiply. Cancer Research UK said there are 17,500 melanoma cases per year and they could surge another 50 per cent to 26,500 per year by 2040. These 'alarming' rates are being driven up because of a fashion for cheap package holidays and tanning that date back to the 60s.

    (7º§)Though you should be protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays year round, it's especially important in the summer when they're stronger and hotter. Where possible, you should be spending time in the shade when the sun is at its most damaging, between 11am and 3pm. If you expect to be outside, the NHS advises you wear loose and covering clothing and sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF).

    (8º§)Your sun cream should have an SPF of at least 30, which will protect you against UVB rays and burning. But you should also check the UVA protection of your sun cream. to make sure your skin is also shielded from UVA rays. UK-made sunscreens will have a star rating - make sure you pick one with at least four stars. UVA protection can also be indicated by the letters "UVA" in a circle, which indicates that it meets the EU standard. It's quite possible you're also not applying enough sun cream - adults should aim to apply around 6 to 8 teaspoons of sunscreen if you're covering your entire body, according to the NHS.

    Text: “Why do people collect?”

    Petra Engels owns 19,571 erasers, Carol Vaughn has 1,221 bars of soap, and Ralf Shrőder has a collection of 14,502 packets of sugar. Many people love to collect things, but why? Psychologists and collectors have different opinions.

    The psychologist Carl Jung believed that collecting is part of our ancient human history. Thousands of years ago, humans collected nuts and berries. They kept them carefully and ate them when there was no food. The best collectors survived long cold winters or seasons without rain. Their genes passed to future generations. Nowadays, we still have a collecting instinct.

    Historian Philipp Bloom has a different opinion. He thinks collectors want to make something that will remain after their death. By bringing many similar items together, the collector gains historical importance. Sometimes their collections become museums or libraries, for example, Henry Huntington, who founded a library in Los Angeles to house his collection of books.

    Author Steve Roach thinks that people collect things to remember their childhood. Many children collect things, but few have enough money to buy the things they really want, and they lose interest. In later life, they remember their collections fondly. Now, they have enough money and opportunity to find special items, and they start collecting again. This way, they can re-live and enjoy their childhood years.

    Art collector, Werner Muensterberger, agrees that collecting is linked to childhood. But he believes we collect in order to feel safe and secure. While babies hold blankets or toys to feel safe when their mother isn’t there, adults collect things to stop feeling lonely or anxious.

    Autograph collector Mark Baker agrees that collecting is emotional, but he doesn’t collect to reduce anxiety. “For me, it’s the excitement,” he says. “I love trying to get a famous person’s autograph. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I fail. Also, by collecting autographs, I feel connected to famous people. I don’t just watch them on television. I actually meet them.”

    These are just a few reasons for collecting. Do you know any people with collections? Why do they collect?

    TEXTO PARA AS QUESTÕES 07 A 10

    Quantum breakthrough could revolutionise computing

    Computer scientists have been trying to make an effective quantum computer for more than 20 years. Firms such as Google, IBM and Microsoft have developed simple machines. But, according to Prof. Winfried Hensinger, who led the research at Sussex University, the new development paves the way for systems that can solve complex real world problems that the best computers we have today are incapable of.

    “Right now we have quantum computers with very simple microchips," he said. "What we have achieved here is the ability to realise extremely powerful quantum computers capable of solving some of the most important problems for industries and society.”

    Currently, computers solve problems in a simple linear way, one calculation at a time. In the quantum realm, particles can be in two places at the same time and researchers want to harness this property to develop computers that can do multiple calculations all at the same time.

    Quantum particles can also be millions of miles apart and be strangely connected, mirroring each others actions instantaneously. Again, that could also be used to develop much more powerful computers.

    One stumbling block has been the need to transfer quantum information between chips quickly and reliably: the information degrades, and errors are introduced.

    But Prof. Hensinger's team has made a breakthrough, published in the journal Nature Communications, which may have overcome that obstacle.

    The team developed a system able to transport information from one chip to another with a reliability of 99.999993% at record speeds. That, say the researchers, shows that in principle chips could be slotted together to make a more powerful quantum computer.

    Two of the factors to play a part in language teaching and learning are:

    Learner Characteristics – Who are the learners that you are teaching? What is the ethnic, linguistic, and religious heritage? What are their native languages, levels of education, and socioeconomic characteristics? What life experiences have they had that might affect their learning? What are their intellectual capacities, abilities, and strengths and weaknesses? How would you describe the personality of any given learner? These and other questions focus attention on some of the crucial variables affecting both learners’ successes in acquiring a foreign language and teachers’ capacities to enable learners to achieve that acquisition.

    Linguistic factors –No simpler question is one that probes the nature of the subject matter itself. What is it that the learner must learn? What is language? What is communication? What does it mean when we say someone knows how to use a language? What is the best way to describe or systematize the target (second) language? What are the relevant differences (and commonalities) between a learner’s first and second language? What properties of the target language might be more difficult or easier for the learner to master? The language teacher needs to understand the system and functioning of the second language and the differences between the first and the second language of the learner. It is one thing for the teacher to speak and understand a language and yet another matter to attain the technical knowledge required to understand and explain the system of that language - its phonemes, morphemes, words, sentences, and discourse structures.

    A network administrator’s tasks generally fall into the areas of designing and planning the network; setting up the network; maintaining and expanding it.

    The first phase in the life cycle of a network involves creating its design, a task which entails making decisions about the type of network that best suits the needs of your organization.

    Once the new network is designed, the second phase, which involves setting up and configuring the network, begins. This consists of installing the hardware that makes up the physical part of the network, and configuring the files or databases, hosts, routers, and network configuration servers.

    The third phase of network administration consists of ongoing tasks that typically constitute most of what you are responsible for. They might include adding new host machines to the network, administering network security, administering network services, such as NFS™ services, name services, and electronic mail, and troubleshooting network problems.

    The longer a network is in place and functioning properly, the more your organization might want to expand its features and services. Eventually, a single network will expand to the point where it can no longer operate efficiently. That is when it must enter the fourth phase of the network administration cycle: expansion.

    Each task area corresponds to a phase in the continuing life cycle of a network. You might be responsible for all the phases, or you might ultimately specialize in a particular area, for example, network maintenance.

    What's the best way to learn receptive skills?

    Miranda Hamilton

    July 26, 2021

    We often think of speaking and writing as the most challenging of the four language skills but what about the receptive skills? With reading, learners have time to think, but listening in another language presents a very different set of challenges for the learner. How often have we heard learners complain ‘it’s too fast, teacher!’? So how can you help?

    Some guides are designed to help teachers understand the subskills of listening, with activities, tips and strategies to help you develop your learners’ listening skills as they prepare for their exams.

    Here are just a few of the ideas from the guides for you to try with your learners. They will work at all levels.

    How many words?

    This micro listening is a great activity to try towards the end of your listening lesson, when learners have already heard the recording, so they know the speakers’ voices and the topic.

    1. Select a short phrase, of around 10 words, from the listening you have just completed. Set up the audio so you are ready to press ‘Play’.
    2. Tell the learners to listen and count the number of words they hear. You will need to play the audio several times. Pairs discuss. Take a range of answers from the class, but don’t tell them the answer just yet.
    3. Write the phrase on the board and count the number of words with the class. Who was the closest?
    4. Now ask them to listen and read the phrase at the same time. This time they have to decide which words they hear most clearly, in other words, you want them to notice the stressed words. Ask why they think they heard these words most clearly. Explain that stressed words carry the key information.

    This micro listening activity helps raise learners’ awareness of sounds, helping them notice the stressed words and preparing them to listen for key information.

    Support every learner

    In mixed-ability classes, put a few simple strategies in place so the whole class can listen to the same recording, and take part in the same activity. This means that no learner feels lost or left behind.

    1. Make the gap-fill or sentence-completion task more achievable and supply the first letter of the missing word. Alternatively supply the first and the final letter and indicate how many letters the missing word has.
    2. Provide an additional layer of support for weaker learners by giving them the audio script. They can read the script as they listen and use it to help them find the correct answers.

    Prepare to listen, prepare to understand

    Don’t be in too much of a hurry to hand out the listening task and press ‘Play’. Time spent in class before listening means learners are better prepared to understand.

    1. Before you listen, have a class discussion around the topic of the listening. This gives learners the opportunity not only to practice their speaking, but also to practice listening to one another. A good discussion will make them think about the main ideas they might hear when they listen.
    2. Useful vocabulary always comes out of a class discussion, creating a very natural way to pre-teach vocabulary before they listen. Useful language linked to a discussion is easier to learn because learners have a context, which makes it easier to remember than pre-teaching vocabulary from a wordlist.
    3. Take your time to discuss the task and check understanding. Encourage the class to reflect on their discussion and predict the answers. Remember to write their predictions on the board. Did they guess correctly? It doesn’t matter if they did or not, what matters is that they are prepared and ready to listen to see if they were right.

    Feeling prepared to listen means learners feel confident and ready to understand, both in the classroom and in their exam.

    Who invented the marathon? It’s not as ancient as you think

    Ask most people about the origins of the marathon—a race covering 26.2 miles of terrain—and you will likely hear about how Pheidippides, an ancient Greek courier, ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens to _____________ the Greek victory in a decisive battle over the Persians—then died on the spot. As legend would have it, the Greeks honored the herald by adding a “marathon” to the ancient Olympic Games.

    But the true history is more complex and convoluted. There was an ancient Greek named Pheidippides, and he did work as a courier during the war against the Persians in 490 B.C. According to the ancient historian Herodotus, the courier did make an epic run. But Pheidippides was not heralding victory in the Battle of Marathon—he was _____________ to round up troops to help beat back the Persians. Herodotus writes that the courier ran an incredible 153 miles back and forth between Athens and Sparta over 36 hours.

    In the 1890s, Bréal participated in the founding congress of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which proposed a series of international competitions inspired by the ancient games that would rotate among countries every four years. Greece had been hosting its own revived Olympics for years, but the IOC wanted to formalize them as a competition between nations.

    Bréal _________ that one of the events be a footrace from Marathon to Pnyx, where the ancient Athenians held their most popular assemblies—a distance of 40 kilometers, or 24.85 miles. Since then, marathons have only grown in popularity. The first U.S. marathon was held in Boston in 1897, and though it began nearly a century later, in 1970, the New York City Marathon is now the nation’s biggest.

    Engaging web design trends for 2023

    1. Design trends can look back at the past with nostalgia, creating connections to the styles
    2. and trends of the time and finding new ways to bring them into the future. For 2023, the standout
    3. theme is the shift toward more immersive experiences. Whether it’s coming from the
    4. advancement of web-building technology or increasingly immersive environments like the
    5. metaverse — we’re excited to see what’s in store for the upcoming year.
    6. The resurgence of the early 2000s style (the Y2K aesthetic) is in everything from fashion
    7. to music and, naturally, that trend is bleeding through to design and the web. We can see retro
    8. typeface use, pixelated fonts and images, or custom cursors, and we’re anticipating the rise of
    9. custom fonts and hand-created lettering. We also expect to see __ explosion in shareable
    10. frameworks, as creators are sharing resources and techniques as __ way to build community,
    11. grow their reputation, and make __ web __ overall better place. Like Alexa Heinrich, who chose
    12. to share the Accessible Social Guidebook rather than just telling people to build accessibility.
    13. Furthermore, more sites will allow customizable viewing experiences: features like dark mode
    14. and sound can make a site more user-friendly for people with differing needs.
    15. With the rise of the metaverse, illustrations that mimic the virtual world are coming into
    16. fashion. The loading animations are also back, and this resurrection comes from the growing
    17. popularity of interaction. Web users hate waiting for pages to load and animations make waiting
    18. feel less like a chore. Another change regards mobile notifications, mainly used as a sales tool
    19. in the past. Audiences want their interactions with the apps to feel more genuine and useful, so
    20. the app Lyft, for example, has incorporated handy notifications like “ride taking longer than
    21. expected” and silent 911 assistance.
    22. The web is an interactive place, and it has been since its inception. Designers have always
    23. loved making immersive experiences and making visitors an active part of their website
    24. experience. What sets this year apart is how effortlessly integrated the idea of user engagement
    25. has become, once we now have the technology to empower this movement. Modern websites
    26. are increasingly living, breathing places where designers and users find new ways to interact
    27. and engage. We think that seems a delightful way to experience the web.

    International Day of Friendship

    Sharing the human spirit through friendship

    Our world faces many challenges, crises and forces of

    division – such as poverty, violence, and human right abuses

    among many others – that destroy peace, security,

    development and social harmony among the world’s

    5 peoples.

    To confront those crises and challenges, their base

    causes must be addressed1 by promoting and defending a

    common spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms –

    the simplest of which is friendship.

    10 Through friendship – by accumulating bonds2 of

    camaraderie and developing strong connections of trust –

    we can contribute to the fundamental changes that are

    urgently needed to achieve durable stability, make a safety

    net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better

    15 world where all are united for the greater good.

    Thus, the International Day of Friendship was

    proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the

    idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and

    individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges

    20 between communities.

    TEXTO 6

    ESSENTIAL GAME ELEMENTS

    At its heart, gamification is about taking elements from games and applying them to non-game settings (Deterding, 2011). While many look at modern video games as a key inspiration for gamification, central elements such as points and levels come out of tabletop roleplaying games. While no one has yet succeeded in coming up with an undisputed definition for "game," most would agree that to be considered a game, it must include at least the following aspects:

    1. Interactivity: If there is no way for the player to affect change on the system; if there is nothing for the player to actually do, then it ceases to be a game.

    2. Rules: A mechanism to constrain the behavior of players in pre-specified ways.

    3. Goal(s): One or more objectives that players pursue while interacting with the game.

    4. Quantifiable measure of progress (or success): This can be as simple as a binary acknowledgement of completion, or as complex as a set of cricket scores.

    5. Definite ending: While some applications commonly referred to as games do not have clear endings (The Sims, for example), most games have a clear endpoint. By this measure of game, it could easily be argued that a formal educational course meets these criteria.

    European companies dealing with the most alarming energy crisis and inflation in four decades are bracing for a fresh shock: wage inflation and the increasing threat of worker actions. The theme has emerged this earnings season, with many of Europe’s most prominent companies warning that prices may rise further in 2023 amid tough wage negotiations in a tight labor market. A season of strike action is already in full swing across Europe as workers – who now suffer the most dramatic real income decline in years – push for higher pay.

    With productivity almost flat and a number of countries in the euro area, as well as Britain, entering recession, the wage demands could put additional pressure on company’s bottom lines. “We’re watching this very closely,” Nestlé SA chief Executive Officer told Bloomberg Television. “In most industrial European countries those negotiations for ’23 will unfold during the winter and first quarter.”

    Some companies are already dealing with walkouts. For example, in November 2022, as red banners and whistling filled the air, Airbus SE employees marched out of an assembly plant in Bremen, Germany, in a bid to secure an 8% pay rise. Negotiating on behalf of 3.9 million manufacturing workers, IG Metall (Germany’s most powerful workers’ union) argued that wage hikes were needed to meet rising energy bills. In response, the employers’ association has insisted there simply won’t be extra profits to pass down the line, since “there will be no growth that can be distributed”. Yet, Germany’s recent decision to hike the minimum wage by 22% could encourage unions while feeding broader inflation.

    With inflation still rising, there’s more pressure than ever on companies to reduce their spending. But holding down wages can backfire, and the next several months will show whether pay is one cost that companies can’t afford to cut.
