FUNNY BONE Laughter really is the best medicine and should be prescribed on NHS, scientists say


(1º§) Chuckling along to comedy shows helps boost the organ's ability to pump blood around the body, Brazilian researchers found. They said laughter therapy should be offered more widely on the NHS alongside drugs like statins.


(2º§) Professor Marco Saffi, of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, said: "People with heart disease could be invited to comedy evenings. "People should try to do things that make them laugh at least twice a week. "Laughter is good for the brain and good for the heart. Laughter therapy could be used in the future to help patients with heart disease and help reduce dependence on medication."


(3º§) Around 7.6million Brits have heart disease and 160,000 die from it every year. It occurs when the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries, which can lead to heart attacks. Symptoms include chest pain and shortness of breath, and patients are also at risk of heart failure.


(4º§) Drugs like statins can help and some patients need surgery to widen the artery. The study, presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Amsterdam, involved 26 adults with an average age of 64. They had all been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Half were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy programmes each week, including popular sitcoms, over three months. The other half watched two different serious documentaries every week, about topics such as politics or the Amazon rainforest.


(5º§) At the end of the study, the comedy group saw a 10 per cent improvement in their VO2 max, a test measuring how much oxygen their heart could pump around the body. Their flow-mediated dilation - a test which measures how well arteries can expand - also improved. They also had blood tests to measure several inflammatory biomarkers, which indicate how much plaque has built up in the blood vessels, and whether people are at risk of heart attack or stroke.


(6º§) The laughter group saw significant reductions in these inflammatory markers, compared to the control group. Professor James Leiper, Associate Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "While this study reveals the interesting possibility that laughter could in fact be a therapy for coronary artery disease, this small trial will need to be replicated to get a better understanding of how laughter therapy may be helping these patients. "It's encouraging to see that something so simple and widespread could benefit our health, but more research is needed to determine whether laughter alone led to the improvements seen, and how long the effects could last."

Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded to 3 Scientists for Exploring the Nanoworld


Three pioneering scientists, Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Alexei I. Ekimov, have been honored with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on quantum dots, which are semiconductor particles small enough to significantly alter their electron behavior. These quantum dots, comprising only a few thousand atoms, have applications ranging from enhancing LED lights to potential advancements in solar cells and quantum information encryption.


Semiconductors, essential in powering our modern electronics, traditionally consist of large molecular-level crystals. However, quantum dots are vastly smaller. To provide perspective, the Nobel Foundation likened the size difference between a quantum dot and a soccer ball to that between a soccer ball and the Earth.


These nanoscale dots are now utilized in LED lights to refine color and in televisions to improve resolution. Additionally, they hold potential in the biomedical field, such as in cancer tissue removal. Despite initial skepticism regarding the feasibility of creating such __________________ minuscule particles, this year’s laureates prevailed. Their achievement, particularly Bawendi’s method for crafting specific size, highquality nanoparticles, has propelled technological applications like QLED screens and various imaging in biochemistry and medicine.


However, the announcement of this year's laureates was surrounded by unusual circumstances. Before the official statement from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Swedish media sources leaked the information, citing an email mistakenly sent early from the Academy.


About the winners: Dr. Bawendi, a professor at MIT and a former postdoc under Dr. Brus, was born in France. Dr. Brus, a professor emeritus at Columbia University, was born in the U.S. Dr. Ekimov, once the chief scientist at Nanocrystals Technology in New York, was born in the former Soviet Union.


Their achievements in the realm of nanotechnology have enabled the exploration of distinct properties of extremely small matter, and have had profound implications in various technological domains. Their efforts in the 1980s, which led to the creation of quantum dots, needed further refinement before technological applications could be realized. Their work is regarded as monumental in bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications. According to the American Chemical Society’s president, Judith Giordan, their discoveries are not just of academic interest but aim to benefit humanity at large.


Upon winning the prize, Dr. Bawendi expressed surprise and honor, emphasizing the significance of sharing the award with his mentor, Dr. Brus. Other notable winners this year include Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their contributions to Covid-19 vaccine development in the Physiology or Medicine category, and Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier in Physics.

Come along for the ride?

Oh, my outfit so tight

I can take the heat, baby, best believe

That's the moment I shine 


'Cause every romance shakes and it bends

Don't give a damn

When the night's here, I don't do tears

Baby, no chance

Watch me dance, dance the night away

My heart could be burnin', but you won't see it on

The teaching of the English language in contemporary settings is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. With globalization and the dissolution of geographical barriers, English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching has gained paramount importance. This growth is spurred not only by the desire to engage in international trade or diplomacy but also due to the pervasiveness of English in international media, arts, and technology.


In response, ESL teachers strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that acknowledges the diverse backgrounds and needs of their students. The primary goal is to foster communicative competence, which goes beyond mere linguistic knowledge. It encompasses cultural understanding, pragmatic abilities, and the aptitude to navigate various social situations. 


Modern technology plays a pivotal role in this. With digital tools, students can have a more immersive learning experience. Virtual reality, for instance, can transport students to Englishspeaking countries, offering real-world situational practice. Apps and online platforms provide interactive exercises, enhancing vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation skills. These tools, however, are most effective when coupled with a human touch — the nuanced guidance, motivation, and support that only a dedicated teacher can provide.

Becoming


Back in the ancestral homeland of Michelle Obama, black women were rarely granted the honorific Miss or Mrs., but were addressed by their first name, or simply as "gal" or "auntie" or worse. This so openly demeaned them that many black women, long after they had left the South, refused to answer if called by their first name. A mother and father in 1970s Texas named their newborn "Miss" so that white people would have no choice but to address their daughter by that title. Black women were meant for the field, or the kitchen, or for use as they saw fit. They were, by definition, not ladies. The very idea of a black woman as first lady of the land, well, that would have been unthinkable.

THE ROLE OF TEXTBOOKS IN A LANGUAGE PROGRAM


Textbooks are a key component in most language programs. In some situations they serve as the basis for much of the language input learners receive and the language practice that occurs in the classroom. They may provide the basis for the content of the lessons, the balance of skills taught and the kinds of language practice the students take part in. in other situations, the textbook may serve primarily to supplement the teacher’s instruction. For learners, the textbook may provide the major source of contact they have with the language apart from input provided by the teacher. In the case of inexperienced teachers, textbooks may also serve as a form of teacher training. – they provide ideas on how to plan and teach lessons as well as formats that teachers can use. Much of the language teaching that occurs throughout the world today could not take place without the extensive use of commercial textbooks. Learning how to use and adapt textbooks is hence an important part of a teacher’s professional knowledge.

What does a sustainable smartphone look like?


            In a bid to reduce global electronic waste, Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves. What makes its technology so sustainable?

        "This is my phone's camera," says Bas van Abel, holding a small, square component aloft. He has just removed it from his smartphone, using a tiny screwdriver.

        "There's eight components in total which can be removed and replaced," he says, as he meticulously disassembles his entire smartphone, placing the camera alongside his phone battery, USB port, screen and loudspeaker.

        Van Abel is the co-founder of the Dutch social enterprise Fairphone, which claims to have built "the world's most sustainable smartphone". But with a complex product containing rare metals and components from all over the world, just how sustainable can a smartphone be?

        Founded in 2013 in Amsterdam, Fairphone makes Android smartphones which can easily be exchanged, customized and repaired by their owners. By enabling and encouraging people to fix their phones, rather than throwing them away as soon as a component breaks, Fairphone hopes to help reduce electronic waste.
