DODGER DILEMMA 

Jammie Dodgers unveils new flavour with an 'exotic twist'... and fans are divided


Biscuit lovers had mixed reactions upon learning there was a new Mango and Passionfruit flavour available to buy at supermarkets.


The 140g packet of biccies is 90p at Sainsbury's and just one of a range of new flavours of the iconic brand.

The flavour is mango and passionfruit. Credit: Facebook


A photo of the mango and passionfruit Jammie Dodgers was shared to the Newfoods UK social media pages where reactions where mixed.


"Wish they would just stick to original!!!! More jam!!!!!!!!" wrote one person.


Another added: "Oh yum."


A third commented: "Tasteless."


And a fourth reacted: "We need to get these."


A spokesperson for Fox Burton's which makes Jammie Dodgers said they expect the new flavours to fly off the shelf.


"We are very excited about these new flavours and expect them to do well in market," the spokesperson told The Sun.


Another of the unique flavours available at supermarkets is cherry, apple and blackcurrant, and strawberry Jammie Dodgers.


Last year, the brand raised eyebrows when shoppers found a re-released banana version of Jammie Dodgers.


The banana flavouring replaces the classic jam filling that Brits have grown to love over the years.


The yellow-flavoured biscuits were first launched in the UK in July 2022 inspired by the Minions film, The Rise of Gru.


It was not the first new flavour the biscuit company has tried - other tempting flavours have been launched such as cherry and apple.

Fernanda Torres' Speech at Golden Globe Awards

"My God! I didn't prepare anything, because I was glad already and this is such an amazing year for female perfomances. So many actresses here that I admire so much. And, of course, I wanna thank you, Walter Salles, my partner, my friend. What a story, Walter! And, of course, I want to dedicate it to my mother.

You have no idea. She was here 25 years ago and this is like a proof that art can endure through life even in difficult moments, like this amazing Eunice Paiva, that I do, has passed. And the same thing that is happening now in the world, with so much fear and this is a film that helped us to think how to survive in tough times like these.

So, to my mother, to my family, to Andrucha (Waddington), to Selton (Mello), to my kids, to everybody. Thank you very much. Golden Globe. Michael Barker, Mara, so many people. Thank you very much. Thank you!"

Fear of the unknown: AI anxiety in academia

Mickey Mann January 7, 2025


While experts recognize the possible misuses of AI in classrooms — including plagiarism — they agree that educating teachers and students on what the black box of AI is will be essential to its potential use for good.

When cavemen first saw the spark of a flame, they likely felt a mixture of awe, wonder and fear at the powerful new tool. When the printing press was invented it promised widespread access to writing, but it also threatened the jobs of scribes.

Writing itself was once feared as a disruptive technology. The philosopher Socrates famously opposed the written word, concerned it would replace meaningful conversation and intellectual engagement.

Today, artificial intelligence once again stirs fear of the unknown, particularly in the case of education. Skeptical universities across the country have banned AI software and Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat GPT from their classrooms.

However, some educators in Bellingham are cautiously optimistic about AI’s potential to benefit students, especially English language learners (ESLs) and students with disabilities, by providing much-needed support. But is fear of the unknown holding back this technology from reaching its full potential?

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD



I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world


I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed days, the dark sacred night

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world


The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, saying: How do you do?

They're really saying: I love you!


I hear babies crying, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know

And I think to myself:

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself: What a wonderful world

         Adolescence can be rife with anxieties and challenges, but today’s youth face unique threats on a scale encountered by no previous generation, according to an exhaustive new report on their health and wellbeing.


         More than one billion people aged 10 to 24 are at risk of poor health outcomes by 2030, which is at least half the global adolescent population, concluded the report published on Tuesday in the Lancet, a leading medical journal. Adolescents are experiencing rising rates of obesity and mental health struggles, while also grappling with the influence of digital technologies and a destabilized global climate.


         “Even I was shocked by what some of these numbers and future predictions look like,” says Sarah Baird, a professor of global health and economics at the George Washington University and co‑chair of the Lancet Commission that produced the report. “It’s clear we’re already in, and going to be increasingly in, a crisis of bad health among young people.”


         Lancet Commissions are independent research teams convened by the Lancet to examine specific health topics and recommend policy actions. This report was compiled by 44 experts, including ten Youth Commissioners, who reviewed some 550 peer‑reviewed studies since starting their work in 2021. It follows the first report on adolescent health and wellbeing published in 2016.


         “What life is like as an adolescent today is very different than ten years ago,” says Baird. “Given all these other competing demands for resources, attention, and focus, adolescents have once again fallen into the background. It’s time to really remind people of why they’re important, and that ignoring them in this time of rapid change is potentially disastrous.”


         Though there is some good news in the report’s f indings – declining rates of cigarette smoking and alcohol use and better access to education, particularly for girls – the report warns that the health of young people is at “a tipping point” in an uncertain and rapidly changing world.

According to the text and its linguistic aspects, judge the following item.


It can be concluded that the world’s rapidly changing does affect the health of young people.

Question must be answered based on the following excerpt.


Read the excerpt below from Pennycook’s The Cultural Politics of English as an International Language and answer the following question. More important for understanding the global spread of English are close and detailed understandings of the ways in which English is embedded in local economies of desire. We need to evaluate the global spread of English, and the role of English language teachers as its agents, critically and carefully in order to appreciate the ways in which demand for English is part of a larger picture of images of change, modernization, access and longing. It is tied to the languages, cultures, styles and aesthetics of popular culture with its particular attractions for youth, rebellion and conformity; it is enmeshed within local economies, and all the inclusions, exclusions and inequalities this may entail; it is bound up with changing modes of communication, from shifting internet uses to its role in text-messaging; it is increasingly entrenched in educational systems, bringing to the fore many concerns about knowledge, pedagogy, culture and curriculum. [...] To understand the power and politics of ELT, then, we need detailed understandings of the role English plays in relation to local languages, politics and economies. [...] We are never just teaching something called English but rather we are involved in economic and social change, cultural renewal, people’s dreams and desires.
