In the Digital Era, OurDictionaries Read Us
Merriam-Webster
Peter Sokolowski, editor at large at Merriam-Webster Inc.
By Jennifer Howard MARCH 11, 2013
Merriam-Webster
Peter Sokolowski, editor at large at Merriam-Webster Inc.
For Peter Sokolowski, a high-profile event like the 9/11 attacks or the 2012 vice-presidential debate is not just news. It's a
“vocabulary event” that sends readers racing to their dictionaries.
Sokolowski is editor at large for Merriam-Webster, whose red-and-blue-jacketed Collegiate Dictionary still sits on the desk
of many a student and editor. In a print-only era, it would have been next to impossible for him to track vocabulary events. Samuel
Johnson, the grand old man of the modern dictionary, “could have spent a week or a month writing a given word's definition and could
never have known if anyone read it”, he says.
Today, Sokolowski can and does monitor what visitors to the Merriam-Webster Web site look up—as they're doing it.
With the spread of digital technologies, dictionaries have become a two-way mirror, a record not just of words' meanings but
of what we want to know. Digital dictionaries read us.
The days of displaying a thick Webster's in the parlor may be past, but dictionaries inhabit our daily lives more than we realize.
"There are many more times during a day that you are interacting with a dictionary" now than ever before, says Katherine Connor
Martin, head of U.S. dictionaries for Oxford University Press. Whenever you send a text or an e-mail, or read an e-book on your Nook,
Kindle, or iPad, a dictionary is at your fingertips, whether or not you're aware of it.
For dictionary makers, going electronic opens up all kinds of possibilities. It's not just that digital dictionaries can be
embedded in the operating systems of computers and e-readers so that they're always at hand. They can be updated far more easily and
often than their print cousins, and they can incorporate material like audio pronunciations and thesauruses. Unsuccessful word "lookups," or searches that don't produce satisfying results, can point lexicographers to terms that haven't yet made their way into a particular
dictionary or whose definitions need to be amended or freshened. Online readers can click a button and contribute their own word lore,
extending a tradition that dates back at least as far as the late 19th century, when James Murray and his team compiled the first Oxford
English Dictionary with the help of thousands of word slips sent in by the public.

In today’s IT‑enabled world, a good systems engineer, or administrator for that matter, is one of the lynchpins of any enterprise because they ensure technology works as it is intended. They ensure all systems in an organization work well together. They are responsible for streamlining those systems, but also developing and implementing new technology. They are also the ones that are called upon when there are problems.
An IT systems engineer develops, tests, implements, and evaluates software, servers, network computers, workstations, and more. They develop and implement new software, improve existing processes, upgrade hardware, and do whatever else is necessary to ensure that the organization is streamlined and functional that can meet the business needs. Systems engineers are generally very knowledgeable in mathematical analysis, computer science, and engineering.
Systems engineers understand technology beyond merely engineering it. They understand the role it plays in the larger picture of the organization’s and the individual’s ultimate objectives. In terms of the actual job description, some of the responsibilities of a systems engineer may include, but not be limited to:
• Installing and configuring hardware and software
• Managing servers
• Setting up workstations and accounts
• Maintaining and operating systems
• Troubleshooting
• Ensuring security
• Upgrading systems
• Training staff and customers on new technology
Different companies will have differing requirements in terms of their systems, which means that a systems engineer’s day‑to‑day duties might differ significantly from one organization to another. For example, a manufacturing firm might require unique inventory tracking systems. On the other hand, a cybersecurity firm might require their systems engineer to consult with clients on hardware necessary to support the security system being developed. Therefore, a systems engineer might also consult with clients on what the right software and/ or hardware they need to make certain that their IT system meets their requirements. They might also have direct involvement in the purchasing, installation, testing, and implementation of a project.
Systems Engineers will also evaluate the existing infrastructure to determine how effective it is and advise on how scalable said infrastructure is. Of course, they will also be responsible for resolving any problems that occur when the system is being used. As the Internet now plays a massive role in most companies’ operations, a systems engineer will also review and recommend security measures that will allow the enterprise to operate online safely.
In other words, without a good IT systems engineer, an organization is likely to crumble like a tower of cards when one removes the vital foundation.

According to the text, judge the following item.
According to the text, the work of a systems engineer must be as equal as possible, without distinction among companies.

The debate about the role of education in the 21st century goes far beyond the
simple transmission of facts. While technological tools have expanded access to
knowledge, they have also highlighted inequalities: not every student has the same
resources or the same capacity for autonomous learning. Moreover, the teacher’s
role has shifted from being the sole source of information to becoming a mediator,
guiding students in the development of critical thinking and adaptability. Thus, the
core issue today is not whether information is available, but whether individuals are
being prepared to use it wisely and ethically.
According to the text, what is presented as the central challenge of education in the 21st century?

When Sarah moved to a new city, she was worried about making friends. At first,
she felt lonely, but she didn’t give up. She joined a local volunteer group, and
slowly she built up her confidence. Eventually, she managed to get along with her
colleagues at work and even took up painting as a hobby. Over time, Sarah realized
that challenges are opportunities to grow.

Professor Nayanika Mookherjee awarded top
Anthropology honour
The Medal is awarded by the Royal Anthropological
Institute for outstanding contributions to anthropology,
with an emphasis on fieldwork and a significant body of
theoretical literature.
Shaping global conversations
Professor Mookherjee is Co-Director of our Institute of
Advanced Studies, and her interdisciplinary work
explores how societies remember violence and imagine
fairer futures.
Her research spans war crimes tribunals, memorials,
wartime sexual violence, graphic ethnography, digital
surveillance and nearly three decades of fieldwork in
Bangladesh.
Using ethnography and visual storytelling, Professor
Mookherjee examines how memories of conflict shape
politics, aesthetics, and ethics today.
Her work has shaped global conversations on ethical
testimonies, public memories and gendered violence
during conflict.
It has contributed substantially to the well-being of
survivors and ethical discussions on sexual violence
during conflict.
Far reaching concepts
In 2022, Professor Mookherjee theorised and edited the
volume 'On Irreconciliation' to explore the politics of
non-forgiveness, justice and the possibilities of
accountability after conflict.
The work allowed an important examination of the rule of
law within processes of unresolved genocidal injustices,
debates relating to enslavement, memorialisation,
removal of statues and institutional responses to bullying
and harassment.
The concept of Irreconciliation has had extensive
interdisciplinary interest and resonance.
Professor Mookherjee was invited to deliver the 2023
Firth lecture?on this theme at the Association of Social
Anthropology of UK's annual conference.?
The lecture generated discussions among those
researching genocide, state violence, reparative justice
as well as those working on climate change and mental
health.
The theoretical frameworks has been widely deployed by
academic and non-academic communities within and
beyond anthropology.
Professor Mookherjee is currently preparing a book on
the 'Arts of Irreconciliation and the Futuring of
Bangladesh' covering the debates of the liberation war of the country and the 2024 uprising.
Prestigious award
Professor Mookherjee said she was honoured to receive
the 2025 Rivers Memorial Medal, adding: "The research
among various communities has meant so much for my
learning, thinking, writing and teaching.
"I am absolutely delighted with this recognition.
"For various survivor communities a critique of the
symbolic performance of redressal has become very
important.
"This creates the possibility of not only registering the
impact of violence.
"It also creates a political space for them in the face of
the corrosive realities that the lack of acknowledgement
of injustice engenders.
"It is also important to critically understand various forms
of irreconciliation and victimhood."

How artificial intelligence is transforming the world
Qualities of artificial intelligence
Although there is no uniformly agreed upon definition, AI generally is thought to refer to “machines that
respond to stimulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for
contemplation, judgment and intention.”3 According to researchers Shubhendu and Vijay, these software
systems “make decisions which normally require [a] human level of expertise” and help people anticipate
problems or deal with issues as they come up.4 As such, they operate in an intentional, intelligent, and
adaptive manner.
Intentionality
Artificial intelligence algorithms are designed to make decisions, often using real-time data. They are
unlike passive machines that are capable only of mechanical or predetermined responses. Using sensors,
digital data, or remote inputs, they combine information from a variety of different sources, analyse the
material instantly, and act on the insights derived from those data. With massive improvements in storage
systems, processing speeds, and analytic techniques, they are capable of tremendous sophistication in
analysis and decision making. Artificial intelligence is already altering the
questions for society, the economy, and governance.
Intelligence
AI generally is undertaken in conjunction with machine learning and data
world and raising important
analytics.5 Machine learning
takes data and looks for underlying trends. If it spots something that is relevant for a practical problem,
software designers can take that knowledge and use it to analyze specific issues. All that is required are
data that are sufficiently robust that algorithms can discern useful patterns. Data can come in the form of
digital information, satellite imagery, visual information, text, or unstructured data.
Adaptability
AI systems have the ability to learn and adapt as they make decisions. In the transportation area, for
example, semi-autonomous vehicles have tools that let drivers and vehicles know about upcoming
congestion, potholes, highway construction, or other possible traffic impediments. Vehicles can take
advantage of the experience of other vehicles on the road, without human involvement, and the entire
corpus of their achieved “experience” is immediately and fully transferable to other similarly configured
vehicles. Their advanced algorithms, sensors, and cameras incorporate experience in current operations,
and use dashboards and visual displays to present information in real time so human drivers are able to
make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions. And in the case of fully autonomous vehicles,
advanced systems can completely control the car or truck,and make all the navigational decisions.

'First there is trust, then passion, then death': Why
the 'Virgin Queen' never married
Neil Armstrong
Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, is the only English
queen never to have married. The iconic Tudor
monarch's last visit to Kenilworth 450 years ago may hold
some clues to her solo reign − as revealed in a new art
installation at the castle, depicting betrayal, beheadings
and an elaborate declaration of love.
On a July evening in 1575, 41-year-old Queen Elizabeth I
arrived at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire, UK, for
what would be her longest and last visit. She had given
the castle to Robert Dudley in 1563 and granted him the
title of Earl of Leicester the following year. Dudley was a
great favourite of the Queen and is thought to have been
her childhood friend. The precise nature of their close
relationship was the subject of much gossip.
Prior to the unmarried Queen's arrival, Dudley had given
the magnificent castle a major refurb. New buildings had
gone up, a new garden had been created and the estate
had been landscaped. And the earl pulled out all the
stops to lay on extraordinary entertainment in the form of
music, dancing, acrobatics, spectacular fireworks and
dramatic interludes performed by costumed actors. On
the huge mere surrounding the castle, there was a
moving island inhabited by the "Lady of the Lake". There
was a 24ft (7.3m) dolphin that concealed musicians, and
an 18ft-(5.5m) long swimming mermaid.
No expense was spared. It cost Dudley £1,000 ($1,400)
a day − millions in today's money, and the whole
extravaganza has been interpreted as an elaborate and
expensive courtship display; the 16th-Century ruling
class's equivalent of hiring a plane to fly a "Marry Me"
banner. "The 1575 festivities were an attempt to woo
Elizabeth − marriage is a theme in some of the events,"
Jeremy Ashbee, head curator of properties at English
Heritage, tells the BBC. "Dr Elizabeth Goldring, who has
made a detailed study of Lord Leicester, has called it 'his
last throw of the dice'."
Dudley's gamble seemed to be going swimmingly, but
then everything changed. The highlight of the stay was to
have been a masque − or performance − on Wednesday
20 July. It never took place. Was it simply a case of bad
weather preventing the event, as the official version had
it? Or had the monarch got wind of the subject matter
and been angered? The masque featured Diana,
goddess of chastity, searching for one of her chaste
nymphs, pointedly called Zabetta − a version of the
name Elizabeth.
It concluded with a messenger of Juno, goddess of
marriage, directly addressing Elizabeth, and imploring her
not to follow the path of Diana but to marry instead.
Dudley had a certain amount of leeway with the Queen, but this perhaps was going too far. Whatever the reason,
the masque never took place, and the revelries were
over. The Queen remained in her quarters for a few more
days before leaving on 27 July.
Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, is the only English
queen never to have married. She came to power in
1558 at the age of 25, inheriting religious, political and
financial problems from her two predecessors, her
half-brother, Edward VI (1537-1553), and her half-sister,
Mary I (1516-1558).
Advisers and members of Parliament repeatedly urged
her to marry to protect England's security. A woman
ruling alone? Inconceivable. A queen needed to marry, it
was believed, not just to produce a male heir in order to
avoid succession disputes but also so that a man could
take charge of political and military matters. The
entreaties to marry were ceaseless, and numerous
matrimonial candidates were suggested or suggested
themselves. Elizabeth repeatedly parried, deflected and
refused. Why?
It's entirely possible that she simply found the idea of
having to obey or defer to a husband − any husband −
intolerable. After all, she was very well educated (she
learned five languages − French, Italian, Spanish, Latin
and Flemish − and had studied history and rhetoric),
highly intelligent, proud and fiery. She is said to have
declared: "I will have but one mistress here and no
master."
Also, Elizabeth knew that a woman could govern
perfectly well without a man looking over her shoulder. In
the summer of 1544, at Hampton Court, she witnessed
the scholarly Katherine Parr, Henry's sixth wife, ruling
with full authority while the king was on campaign in
France. Katherine was a more than capable regent, and
Elizabeth seems to have been profoundly influenced by
seeing her stepmother exercising power, and accepting
as her due the humble deference of powerful male
ministers and courtiers.
Besides, her own immediate family had hardly furnished
her with an image of the joys of marriage. Her father had
her mother, Anne Boleyn, arrested on trumped-up
charges of adultery and conspiracy, and then, shockingly,
had her beheaded when Elizabeth was just three years
old. Some commentators have suggested that Elizabeth
might have been afraid of sex.
In fact, Elizabeth enjoyed the company of handsome
men, and could be flirtatious with them. However, she
had plenty of reasons to fear pregnancy and childbirth.
Childbirth was a very high-risk enterprise in the Tudor
era. Jane Seymour, Henry's third wife, died in childbirth,
and Katherine Parr died of an illness shortly after giving
birth, as had Elizabeth's grandmother, Elizabeth of York.
But there were political reasons, as well as personal, for
not marrying. Keeping the country free from the influence
of foreign powers may have been a consideration. Also,
the prospect of Elizabeth's hand in marriage might have
strengthened her negotiating position in her dealings with
France, Spain and other nations. Meanwhile, if she'd
married an English nobleman (and Dudley might have been a possibility had not his wife, Amy Robsart, died in
somewhat suspicious circumstances in 1560), she would
have automatically put another English nobleman's nose
out-of-joint.
So she kept everyone waiting and wondering. She seems
to have had an instinctive grasp of what we now call PR,
and liked to present herself as wholly devoted to her
realm. From early in her reign she cultivated the image of
the Virgin Queen. In 1559 she declared, in response to
MPs asking her to marry, that eventually "a marble stone
shall declare that a queen, having reigned such a time,
lived and died a virgin".
Had the real Elizabeth allowed Dudley to think he might
be in with a chance? And what did the Kenilworth visit
mean for their relationship? "I don't believe that he felt
humiliated by her rejection of his proposal," says Ashbee.
"He was happy for an official account of the festivities to
be published soon afterwards, and in his will, he
stipulated that the castle was to be left exactly as it had
been. I rather get the feeling that he saw 1575 as his
'finest hour'. He certainly didn't retire quietly into private
life after 1575."
Elizabeth was furious with Dudley for a while when he
married Lettice Knollys in 1578 − but she forgave him.
When he died, in 1588, she locked herself in her room for
so long that her chief adviser ordered that the doors be
forced open. And when Elizabeth died in 1603, a note
Dudley had sent her shortly before his death was found
in a casket she kept by the side of her bed. She had
written on it "his last letter".
