IT HELP DESK

11_- 15.png (291×221) 

    Working the IT help desk can be a great entry-level job. As a help desk professional, your core responsibilities are to provide technical help and support; that could mean setting up and repairing computers or responding to a customer’s question about how to use their computer, as well as performing routine maintenance of a company’s computer networks and internet systems or teaching staff how to use new technologies. The job requires deep computer knowledge and good technical and interpersonal skills. But what if you want more? Additional credentials and advanced degrees can help you move beyond the IT help desk. Here are three career paths to consider.
     (i) Cloud and systems administrator – Network and systems administration is a natural next step from the IT help desk. Organizations need reliable computer networks, so there’s great demand for skilled professionals who can manage, administer, and protect computer systems. (ii) Network ops and security expert - Cybersecurity is a top-of-mind concern in every sector and industry. IT professionals with expert training in network operations and security systems are in high demand. (iii) IT manager – Yes, you will need plenty of experience, credentials, and certifications; still, you can get to a managerial or executive-level position from the IT help desk. It can be tough to see the top through all those steps of the stair, but the top is closer than you think.
   Software development, computer network architecture, and computer programming are other possible professions those working on the IT help desk or in other entry-level IT positions can pursue. In today’s ever-changing job marketplace, there’s no one career pathway.

  Mining trucks are monstrous machines that guzzle fuel at a scarcely believable rate. Weighing 220 tonnes, they can get through 134 litres of diesel every hour. Little wonder then that mining companies are focusing their attention on these vehicles as the first step to reducing their carbon footprint.
    Anglo American, in collaboration with several partners, is retrofitting a mining haul truck with hydrogen power technology. A first of its kind, the monster mining vehicle is being piloted in Limpopo, South Africa, at the firm’s Mogalakwena platinum mine. Due to be launched early 2022, the truck will be hybrid, with a hydrogen fuel cell providing roughly half of the power and a battery pack the other half.
    Instead of having a tank of diesel that powers the motor, hydrogen enters the fuel cell and mixes with oxygen to create water in a chemical reaction catalysed by platinum, which generates the electricity needed to power the motors that drive the wheels. By rolling out this technology across its global truck fleet, Anglo American says it will be “taking the equivalent of half a million diesel cars ‘off the road”.
    The construction sector, which includes mining, accounted for 39% of energy-related CO2 emissions in 2017, according to Davide Sabbadin, from the European Environmental Bureau. He says the sector will need to reduce its energy consumption by a third if it hopes to be compatible with the Paris Agreement. “While electric-powered vehicles, generally speaking, are less damaging to the environment than internal combustion engines on a life cycle analysis, this does not mean that they are green,” he says. It all hinges on how the hydrogen is produced. Some hydrogen is created using fossil fuels, which of course means there are substantial emissions as a result. “We should refrain from presenting hydrogen as a technological solution to all problems… all forms of hydrogen come at an environmental cost – water use, impacts on nature,” says Mr Sabbadin.

The Amazon Forest


The Amazon is often called the lungs of the earth and produces 20% of the world’s oxygen. For this reason, many people are trying to stop deforestation in the rainforest. Brazil, for example, is working hard to help the rainforest survive.


A few years ago, the Brazilian government put forward a plan called ARPA (Amazon Region Protected Areas). It had the support of many international agencies, including the World Bank, and the German Development Bank, KfW. The main aim was to build new areas of protected rainforest, maintain areas of the rainforest that hadn’t yet been destroyed, and stop deforestation. Deforestation contributes greatly to global warming because carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when trees get cut down and burned.


One of the first areas to be recognized as part of ARPA was the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. It is 38,800 km2 and is the same size as Switzerland, a small country in Central Europe. It’s the world’s largest protected tropical national park, and the second largest national park. It is home to certain species of jaguar, eagle, and lizard, which can only survive in the rainforest. Many of these species are under threat from climate change and deforestation.


In order to work in the park, conservationists need a reliable map. However, no map existed, and they didn’t have enough knowledge to make one on their own. They came up with the idea of involving local tribes to help them, combining modern and ancient methods to produce a map. The tribes learned to use global positioning system handsets (GPS), in conjunction with their local knowledge of the area, which included fishing and hunting grounds, and places of historical or mythical importance. Aerial photos were a 20useful aid in the process as well. This method of map-making is now the key to the future of rainforests, in Brazil and the rest of the world too.

Study these sentences and decide if they are ( T ) true or ( F ) false about language teaching.
( ) Methodology: Pedagogical practices using theoretical underpinnings and related research only.
( ) Approach: Positions and beliefs about the nature of language, the nature of language learning, and the applicability of both to pedagogical settings.
( ) Method: A generalized set of classroom specification for accomplishing linguistic objectives.
( ) Techniques: an specific type of task used in the language classroom for realizing lesson objectives.

3. The phrasal verb ‘cut down’, in the second paragraph, means to reduce the amount.
4. The negative form of “They came up with the idea of involving local tribes to help them, combining modern and ancient methods to produce a map.” is They didn’t come up with the idea of involving local tribes to help them, combining modern and ancient methods to not produce a map.
