Q4150348 Inglês
   British workers are increasingly likely to work into their 70s, according to a research that found the cost of living crisis has left older people with little choice but to stay in employment. There were 446,601 people above the age of 70 still in work in 2022, a rise of 61% compared with 277,926 in 2012, said Rest Less, an online community for the over-50s that offers advice to older workers.
   While most of the over-70s workforce is male, the rise has been more significant among women, most likely in response to the gradual equalisation of pension ages between 2010 and 2020. Women were previously able to retire five years earlier. The number of women working beyond the age of 70 is up 66% since 2012, compared with an increase of 58% for men.
    Stuart Lewis, the chief executive of Rest Less, drew a comparison between older workers and King Charles, but acknowledged that most continue working “for very different reasons” to the hereditary monarch. “At the age of 74, King Charles is a fantastic example of someone who both enjoys, and benefits from, continuing to work post-state pension1 age,” said Lewis. “Our latest analysis shows that there are far more over-70s in the workplace today than a decade ago. Until Covid hit and life expectancy dropped for the first time in a decade, there were more people reaching their state pension age than ever before, which meant there were more experienced people in the workplace than ever before too.”
    Lewis said many of those reaching the theoretical age of retirement were staying in the workplace for lack of any other option. “Like King Charles, many of these people will have no choice but to work, although for very different reasons to the king. We see many older workers today who are struggling to survive amidst the cost of living crisis, with inadequate retirement savings meaning they must work in order to survive financially.” The state pension age in the United Kingdom (UK) is 66 for men and women but is due to start rising from 2026.

Q4149754 Inglês
     Some of the world’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are calling for a pause on research into AI, claiming that safety issues must first be urgently addressed. If not, the outcomes could be devastating for humanity. Others say any pause in development would not only be impractical to enforce on a global scale, but could also stand in the way of advances that could both improve and save lives.
     The AI that is currently available already has the power to radically alter society, in new ways that we are seeing every day. So how might it progress over the coming years? Are we on the brink of an artificial intelligence-powered utopia or dystopia?
     Firstly, technology has been automating jobs since the Industrial Revolution, though never before has it happened on this scale. Everyone from truck drivers to voice over artists are at risk of being replaced by AI. A recent study found that just over 30 jobs are considered safe from automation in the near future. They range from mechanics to athletes, though they represent just a sliver of the current labour market. While new jobs will be created, there is a significant chance that the majority of the population will be left jobless. This could either lead to:
     Utopia: A new leisure class emerges, living off a universal basic income funded by taxes on robots and the companies that operate them.
    Dystopia: Mass unemployment results in social unrest, similar to the way laid off factory workers trashed the machines that replaced them. With so many jobs at risk and the potential for huge wealth inequality, some fear it could ultimately result in societal collapse.
    Secondly, artificial intelligence is already contributing to major scientific advances, dramatically accelerating the time it takes to make discoveries. It has been used to invent millions of materials that did not previously exist, find potential drug molecules 1,000 times faster than previous methods, and improve our understanding of the universe. This could either lead to:
      Utopia: Cancer and all other life-threatening diseases are cured, leading to a new age of health and prosperity. Scientists are already using AI tools to make breakthroughs in longevity medicine, which aims to end or even reverse ageing.
     Dystopia: The same AI-enabled technology could be used for malevolent purposes, creating entirely new diseases and viruses. These could be used as bioweapons, capable of devastating populations that don’t have access to cures or the tech needed to develop them.

HOW IMPORTANT IS TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION?


Technology provides students with easy-toaccess information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.


By Rambabu Dixit



1.The Meaning of Education


Knowledge, learning, and information: the word "education" is used in the English language and is derived from the Latin word "educatum" which means "teaching work." Some great scholars have attributed its origin to "educare" which means "to raise."



1.a. Narrow Meaning


This is the education given to the child in the school. The place, duration, curriculum, etc. of such education is fixed. In this sense, the person's school life is their education. Mackenzie has written: "In a narrow sense, education refers to the conscious efforts made for the development and promotion of our powers."



1.b. Broader Meaning


In this sense, education is a lifelong process by which a person develops their overall personality, social interactions, and their ability to adjust to their environment.



2.The Meaning of Technology


The use of scientific inventions, rules, principles, and processes in different aspects of life comes under the use of technology. Many types of technologies exist, including educational technology. In other words, the application of scientific principles to different areas of life is called technology. Therefore, when scientific, orderly, and well-organized knowledge is used to do daily work, then it is given the name of technology. The word "technology" is usually associated with machines, but it is not necessary that machines should always be used.



3.The Meaning of Educational Technology


When scientific, technical, and psychological principles and methods are properly used to make the teaching/learning process easy, simple, efficient, and effective, it comes under the umbrella term “educational technology”. Today, scientific and technological inventions have affected every aspect of human life. Education, teaching, and learning have also been greatly affected by them. In the field of education, as a result of the latest research, discoveries, and investigations, such techniques (i.e., skills) have been developed, which are helping in achieving the objectives of education. These competencies and skills, which are especially based on science, are given the name of educational technology.

HOW IMPORTANT IS TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION?


Technology provides students with easy-toaccess information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.


By Rambabu Dixit



1.The Meaning of Education


Knowledge, learning, and information: the word "education" is used in the English language and is derived from the Latin word "educatum" which means "teaching work." Some great scholars have attributed its origin to "educare" which means "to raise."



1.a. Narrow Meaning


This is the education given to the child in the school. The place, duration, curriculum, etc. of such education is fixed. In this sense, the person's school life is their education. Mackenzie has written: "In a narrow sense, education refers to the conscious efforts made for the development and promotion of our powers."



1.b. Broader Meaning


In this sense, education is a lifelong process by which a person develops their overall personality, social interactions, and their ability to adjust to their environment.



2.The Meaning of Technology


The use of scientific inventions, rules, principles, and processes in different aspects of life comes under the use of technology. Many types of technologies exist, including educational technology. In other words, the application of scientific principles to different areas of life is called technology. Therefore, when scientific, orderly, and well-organized knowledge is used to do daily work, then it is given the name of technology. The word "technology" is usually associated with machines, but it is not necessary that machines should always be used.



3.The Meaning of Educational Technology


When scientific, technical, and psychological principles and methods are properly used to make the teaching/learning process easy, simple, efficient, and effective, it comes under the umbrella term “educational technology”. Today, scientific and technological inventions have affected every aspect of human life. Education, teaching, and learning have also been greatly affected by them. In the field of education, as a result of the latest research, discoveries, and investigations, such techniques (i.e., skills) have been developed, which are helping in achieving the objectives of education. These competencies and skills, which are especially based on science, are given the name of educational technology.

Sprowston mother in stand-off with school over bullying

                                     By David HannantDHannant87Specialist reporter: health and education



A Sprowston mother is locked in a stand-off with her daughter's school after keeping her at home for the past six weeks to avoid what she describes as "brutal" bullying.


Rebecca Everson says the treatment her 12-year-old daughter Phoebe suffers has become so severe that the youngster has been left "a shell of a girl".


She says the Year 8 Sprowston Community Academy pupil is subjected to cruel messages on social media platforms like Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat and has abuse hurled at her by classmates regularly.


After raising her concerns with school leaders, Ms. Everson said her daughter's issues only got worse so for the past six weeks she has refused to send her in. However, she now claims the school is threatening her with fines over Phoebe's attendance record.


She said: "The bullying Phoebe has suffered has been awful. They send her messages calling her every name under the sun. It is brutal.


"I have rung the school and told them she does not feel safe at school and requested work to be sent home for her, but they have done nothing."


Ms. Everson the issue started in October last year, which she reported to Phoebe's teachers.


She said: "The school said they would talk to the girls involved, but when they did it just aggravated the situation.


"Some of the girls involved in the cyberbullying attend other schools nearby too, so moving schools is just not viable.


"Phoebe is a shell of the girl she was before this all began. She has done nothing to deserve this but now she's terrified to even go to school.


"I just feel like I'm going around and around in circles trying to get something done - it's terribly awful."


Sprowston Community Academy was approached for comment but said the school was unable to comment on individual cases.

Implications of English as an International Language for Language Pedagogy

The position of the English language in the world has recently underwent an enormous shift. Much literature has been written about what English as an International Language (EIL) actually is (e.g. Alsagoff et al., 2012; Matsuda, 2003; McKay and Brown, 2016; Sharifian, 2009), ranging from a view of EIL as the many varieties of English that are spoken today to the use of English by second language speakers of English. Thus, EIL is viewed both as a type of English and as a way of using English (Cameron & Galloway, 2019). 

In addition, the global spread of English has altered its status from being a homogeneous and standard language spoken by a few powerful countries into an international language or lingua franca spoken by a wide variety of speakers around the world (Llurda, 2004; Galloway & Rose, 2017). Crystal (1997) stated that “if there is one predictable consequence of globalization of a language, it is that nobody owns it anymore” (p. 2). Various studies (e.g. Llurda, 2017; Marlina, 2018; Schuttz, 2019) have widely argued that English does not belong only to native-speaking communities because the number of people who currently speak English as a second/foreign language exceeds that of native English speakers. Seidlhofer (2003) asserted that “English is being shaped at least as much by its nonnative speakers as by its native speakers” (p. 339).

7 Tips to Launch Your Product Using a Teaser Campaign

As a small business, there can be a lot of pressure to ensure a product launch goes well. Sometimes the fortunes of the business are directly linked to the successful launch of a new product or service. This can put a lot of pressure on a communications team tasked with getting maximum reach and reward ahead of a launch. In the automotive industry, there’s a long and dubious history behind the protracted teaser campaign. A ‘leak’ is almost always written with inverted commas. And leading publications have a rendering specialist on hand to stitch teased images together into the final product, usually with mixed results. Behind the teaser is the need for the brand to maximize conversation and reach through social engagement. The reality is, some industries are more open to a teaser than others. But the industries that are open to a good teaser campaign may surprise you. Cars, motorcycles, video games, books, films are all pretty obvious candidates for a half decent teaser campaign. How many of us have stayed past the credits at the end of a Marvel film just to see the teaser for the next film? (The Deadpool teaser is still one of my favorites.) You may ask, what do all of these teaser campaigns have in common? The answer is, they have dedicated fans that lap up the intimate details and enjoy the tease that only drip-fed information provides. So if your industry has fans who eagerly await every announcement, no matter how small, then chances are a teaser campaign will work well for your brand. From the outside looking in, some of these teaser campaigns look chaotic. But that’s not the case at all.
