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.

Rescuers spotted debris from the tourist submarine Titan
on the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic on June
22, 2023, indicating that the vessel suffered a catastrophic
failure and the five people aboard were killed. Below, Purdue
University professor Nina Mahmoudian talks about vehicles
for deep ocean research.
Nina Mahmoudian: When we talk about water studies,
we’re talking about vast areas. And covering vast areas
requires tools that can work for extended periods of time,
sometimes months. Having people aboard underwater
vehicles, especially for such long periods, is expensive and
dangerous.
One of the tools researchers use is remotely operated
vehicles, or ROVs. Basically, there is a cable between the
vehicle and operator that allows the operator to command and
move the vehicle, and the vehicle can transmit data in real
time. ROVs can reach deep ocean — up to a depth of 6,000
meters. It’s also better able to provide the mobility necessary
for observing the sea bed and gathering data.
Autonomous underwater vehicles provide another
opportunity for underwater exploration. They are usually not
tied to a ship. They are typically programmed ahead of time
to do a specific mission. And while they are underwater they
usually don’t have constant communication. At some interval,
they surface, relay the data that they have gathered, change
the battery or recharge and receive renewed instructions
before again submerging.
Crewed1
submersibles will be exciting for the public and
those involved. However, they will be much more expensive
compared with uncrewed explorations because of the required
size of the platforms and the need for life-support systems. So,
uncrewed vehicles provide better opportunities for exploration
at less cost and risk in operating in inhospitable locations.
Using remotely operated and autonomous underwater
vehicles gives operators the opportunity to perform tasks that
are unsafe for humans, like observing under ice and detecting
underwater mines.

How do we know the world is getting warmer?
Our planet has been warming rapidly since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
The average temperature at the Earth's surface has risen about 1.1C since 1850. Furthermore, each of the last four decades has been warmer than any that preceded it, since the middle of the 19th Century.
These conclusions come from analyses of millions of measurements gathered in different parts of the world. The temperature readings are collected by weather stations on land, on ships and by satellites.
Multiple independent teams of scientists have reached the same result – a spike in temperatures coinciding with the onset of the industrial era. Scientists can reconstruct temperature fluctuations even further back in time. Tree rings, ice cores, lake sediments and corals all record a signature of the past climate.
This provides much-needed context to the current phase of warming. In fact, scientists estimate the Earth hasn't been this hot for about 125,000 years.
How do we know humans are responsible for global warming?
Greenhouse gases - which trap the Sun's heat - are the crucial link between temperature rise and human activities. The most important is carbon dioxide (CO2), because of its abundance in the atmosphere.
We can also tell it's CO2 trapping the Sun's energy. Satellites show less heat from the Earth escaping into space at precisely the wavelengths at which CO2 absorbs radiated energy.
Burning fossil fuels and chopping down trees lead to the release of this greenhouse gas. Both activities exploded after the 19th Century, so it's unsurprising that atmospheric CO2 increased over the same period.
There's a way we can show definitively where this extra CO2 came from. The carbon produced by burning fossil fuels has a distinctive chemical signature.

The Strange Saga of Jack Teixeira Reveals New Security Challenges
Moments before his arrest by armed FBI agents on Thursday, a helicopter from a local news station caught footage of 21-year-old Jack
Teixeira reading a book on the sun-splashed back porch of his house in North Dighton, Mass. In his front yard, meanwhile, FBI agents in
camouflage tactical gear were climbing out of an armored vehicle, tightening the straps of their bullet-proof vests and gripping long guns.
The dramatic scene playing out in a sleepy, riverside exurb underscored the peculiarity of a case that exposed military documents,
complicated relations with U.S. allies, and triggered national embarrassment. Intelligence leaks of this magnitude in the past have been
the result of an alienated whistle-blower, double agent or successful spy operation. Now arguably the most damaging disclosure of U.S.
government documents in a decade may have stemmed from the hubris of a junior enlisted member in the Massachusetts Air National
Guard who shared them in a small online chat group called Thug Shaker Central.

Strategy I
In Eating Mindfully, Susan Albers recommends starting with one mealtime: breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Choose a specific location to eat, such as your table or the lunchroom at work. Sit quietly. Don't get up, and don't answer the phone. Have all the food you intend to eat on the table in front of you before starting. To be mindful you must give your full attention to your eating. You must focus on the process of eating and enjoying your meal.
Strategy II
Susan Albers suggests that one way to slow down the process of eating is to challenge the way you have always done it.
For example, try eating using a pair of chopsticks instead of your customary utensils. This will force you to take smaller portions, eat more slowly, and look at your food more closely. Other strategies include eating with your non-dominant hand, chewing your food 30 to 50 times per bite, or trying to make the portion of food you've taken for the meal last 20 minutes.
Observe the sensation of picking up the food and placing it in your mouth.

Africa's Greatest Freedom Symbol
Son of a chief, Nelson Mandela studied law and became one of South Africa's first black lawyers. Early in the 1950s he was elected leader of the youth wing of the ANC (African National Congress) liberation movement. When the country's white minority government prohibited the ANC in 1960, Mandela became convinced that armed struggle was inevitable. Inspired by the guerrilla wars in Algeria and Cuba, he organized a military underground movement that engaged in sabotage. In 1962 he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for high treason and conspiracy against the state.
From 1964 to 1982 he was confined to the notorious prison island Robben Island, together with several other resistance leaders. He was then moved to prison on the mainland until his release in 1990. During his imprisonment, Mandela became a rallying point for South Africa's oppressed, and the world's most famous political prisoner.
Nelson Mandela shared the Peace Prize with the man who had released him, President Frederik Willem de Klerk, because they had agreed on a peaceful transition to majority rule.

The big idea: why we need a new definition of junk food
Ultra-processed products now make up 60% of our diet – and they’re killing us
Strange as it may seem, food has replaced tobacco as the leading cause of early death globally. Each year,more people die in America from illnesses caused by poor diet than were killed fighting in every war in US history combined. In the UK the situation is equally 1. dire. Officially, the health effects of food are entirely due to its nutritional content – the amount of fat, salt, sugar and fibre it contains. The current system leaves it up to you to read the detailed information on the pack and decide how much to eat based on recommended values, and if you have children, you’ll need to know the values for them too. This is nigh-on impossible for most people – but even if you were able to calculate exactly how much fat, salt and sugar you were consuming in each 2. mouthful, you would still be neglecting one vital determinant of health – how the food was processed. You might feel like you’ve heard all this before. People have expressed concern about “processed food” for a long time, but it’s not always been an easy concept to 3. pin down. After all, we have been processing food for hundreds of thousands of years. The human diet was invented by primarily female domestic scientists who modified plants and animals by milling, shaking, pounding and grinding them, or altering them via fermentation and heat, before salting, smoking and drying them for preservation. Food processing has shaped almost every aspect of our bodies: we have the shortest guts of any animal our size because part of their job is outsourced to our kitchens. We are the only animal that must process its food to survive. Processing is fine.
But just over a decade ago a team of scientists in Brazil noticed a 4. paradox in the data from their national nutrition surveys. Obesity had gone from being rare, to being the country’s dominant public health problem – even though people were buying less oil and sugar. What theywere eating more of was industrially processed food: biscuits, emulsified breads, confectionary and so on. The team developed a definition that distinguished between traditional food, whole or processed, and these items, which they termed ultra processed foods, or UPFs for short.

What is mindful eating?
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, and observing the inputs flooding your senses. At meal time: "Think about how the food looks, how it tastes and smells. What's the texture? What memories does it bring up? How does it make you feel?" Burton Murray asks. By being mindful at meals, you'll slow the eating process, pay more attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and perhaps avoid overeating. "It makes you take a step back and make decisions about what you're eating, rather than just going through the automatic process of see food, take food, eat food," Burton Murray says.
Set yourself up for success in being mindful when you eat by: Removing distractions. Turn off phones, TVs, and computers. Eat in a peaceful, uncluttered space.
Pacing yourself for a 20-minute meal. Chew your food slowly and put your fork down between bites.
