TEXT I
“All crimes are not created equal in the harm they cause: homicide is many times more harmful than shoplifting
but in crime statistics where offences are counted by number, they appear equivalent. For example, in the UK
for the year ending September 2019, there were 3,578,000 incidents of theft and 729 homicides (Office for
National Statistics, 2019). An increase of 500 thefts would be a small change in the overall number of thefts
and have little impact on police resources. 500 extra homicides would have large consequences both for the
harm caused and the impact on police resources. In a number-only count, the additional 500 thefts or
homicides would result in the same overall number of crimes, yet clearly the impacts are disparate.
This reality has led to the proposition of a “Harm Index” to measure how harmful different crimes are in
proportion to the others. This approach adds a larger weight to more harmful crimes (e.g. homicide, rape and
grievous bodily harm with intent), distinguishing them from less harmful types of crime (e.g. minor thefts,
criminal damage and common assault). Practically, adoption of a harm index can allow targeting of the highestharm places, the most harmful offenders, the most harmed victims, and can assist in identifying victimoffenders. Experimentally, use of a harm index can add an additional dimension to the usual measures of
success or failure, by considering harm prevented as well as reductions in prevalence or frequency. For the
police, creation of harm index could allow them to invest scarce resources in proportion to the harm of each
offence type.
Sherman, Neyroud and Neyroud (2016) propose that any index needs to meet three requirements in order to
be considered a legitimate measure of harm: An index must meet a democratic standard, be reliable and also
be adopted at minimal cost to the end user. To meet these requirements, Sherman, Neyroud and Neyroud
(2016) opted for using sentence starting points rather than maximum or average actual sentences. The
sentencing starting point is used to calculate crime harm as it provides a baseline penalty relative to the crime.
We propose that it is a better measure of harm caused by the crime than average actual sentences, which are
offender-focused and thus substantially affected by previous offending history.
The Cambridge Crime Harm Consensus proposes creation of seven statistics for counting crime, usefully
including separation of historic crime reports, creation of a harm detection fraction and separation of public
reported crime and those detected by proactive police activity, with the aim of providing the public with a more
reliable and realistic assessment of trends, patterns and differences in public safety.
Counting crime by harm is an idea that has spread beyond the United Kingdom with indices published for
Denmark (Andersen and Mueller-Johnson, 2018), Sweden (Karrholm et al. 2020), Western Australia (House
and Neyroud, 2018), California (Mitchell, 2017), New Zealand and other countries.”

Entertainment
In the summer of 1944, the popular comedian and radio personality Bob Hope began another of
his famous tours of military camps for the United Service Organizations (USO). This particular tour
made stops in Hawaii and on small islands all across the Pacific theater, where Hope and his troupe
performed 150 shows in two months. American military personnel loved the shows. Hope's jokes and
silly stunts made them laugh and took their minds away from the war for a few minutes. Entertainment
gave them something to fight for.
Military commanders in all wars throughout history have understood that morale is essential to a
force's willingness to fight and endure hardship. While good morale depends (1) ________ many things,
including good leadership, clear purposes and good food, entertainment played a crucial role in the
morale of American military forces during World War II (WWII). Entertainment also served particular

“When Johnny comes marching home” is a popular song from the American
Civil War (1861 – 1865) that expressed people’s longing for the return of their
friends and relatives who were fighting in the war. It was written in 1863 by an
Irish-American called Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore.

Fricatives are consonants with the characteristic that
air escapes through a narrow passage and makes a hissing
sound. The dental fricatives are sometimes described as if the
tongue were placed between the front teeth, and it is common
for teachers to make their students do this when they are
trying to teach them the sound. The thing is, however, that the
tongue is normally placed behind the teeth; the air escapes
through the gaps between the tongue and the teeth. There is
a distiction between fortis (unvoiced) fricatives, as in the word
“thin”, and lenis (voiced) fricatives, as in “thus”. (Roach 2003)

Most teachers recognise the need for the students’
awareness about the potential relevance and utility of the
language and skills they are teaching. And researchers have
confirmed the importance of this need.
In ESP (English for specific purposes) materials, for
example, it is relatively easy to convince the learners that
the teaching points are relevant and useful by relating them
to known learner interests and to ‘real-life’ tasks, which the
learners need or might need to perform in the target language.
In general English materials this is obviously more difficult; but
it can be achieved by researching what the target learners
are interested in and what they really want to learn the
language for. An interesting example of such research was a
questionnaire in Namibia which revealed that two of the most
important reasons for secondary school students to wish to
learn English were so they would be able to write love letters
in English and so that they would be able to write letters of
complaint for villagers to the village headman and from the
village headman to local authorities.
Perception of relevance and utility can also be achieved
by relating teaching points to challenging classroom tasks
and by presenting them in ways which could facilitate the
achievement of the task outcomes desired by the learners.
The ‘new’ learning points are not relevant and useful because
they will help the learners to achieve longterm academic or
career objectives, but because they could help the learners to
achieve short-term task objectives now. Of course, this only
works if the tasks are begun first and the teaching is then
provided in response to discovered needs. This is much more
difficult for the materials writer than the conventional approach
of teaching a predetermined point first and then getting the
learners to practise and then produce it.

Kids can show anxiety symptoms early on
Kristen Rogers - CNN
Excessive clinginess to parents can be a sign a child is struggling with an anxiety disorder, experts have said.
(...)
Anxiety disorders are marked by persistent and excessive worries. While someone with generalized anxiety might worry about various everyday things, someone with social anxiety typically has ‘intense or persistent fears or worries about being judged negatively by other people’, said Rachel Busman, a New York-based clinical psychologist and cognitive and behavioral consultant _______ specialized in anxiety.
One fifth of children worldwide have anxiety symptoms that are clinically elevated, or worse than what is considered normal, according to a 2011 study.
Anxiety symptoms can be difficult to spot, but the sooner parents notice signs, the earlier mental health professionals ‘can help parents and kids understand what is happening’, said Dr. Rebecca Baum, a professor of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine at the University of North Carolina.
Children with anxiety might begin to avoid anxietyinducing situations. This behavior can facilitate a cycle that makes their fears bigger and bigger.

The arm of Liberty
Anonymous
The Statue of Liberty is probably the ______ icon of the
USA.
( ...) When the American Civil war ended, Édouard de
Laboulaye wanted to commemorate the end of the slave trade
with a gift. He and other people who opposed slavery raised
money and hired a sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, to
design the Statue. Bartholdi later employed the French
engineer, Gustave Eiffel, to devise its structure.
Eiffel designed the Statue to be built around a massive
metal skeleton, similar to the Eiffel Tower. In 2018, a map
dealer bought some historic papers at an auction in Paris,
which included original plans. After special treatment, the
papers clearly showed that Eiffel’s plans had been changed by
Bartholdi.
(...) We don’t know what Eiffel thought of Bartholdi’s
changes. By then, Eiffel was working on other projects, and
only his assistants were working with Bartholdi.
(...) At first, visitors could climb a ladder to the torch in
Liberty’s arm, but in 1916, there was an explosion on a
nearby island. It damaged the Statue and made it unsafe, and
the stairway to the torch has been closed ever since. During
restoration work in the 1980s, engineers noticed that the
structure inside Liberty’s head, shoulders, and arm were
different from how they were shown on Eiffel’s plans. They
thought that the builders had made mistakes, but some
historians believed that Bartholdi had changed Eiffel’s design.
The newly discovered papers confirm those theories.

The Power of Hashtags in Social Media
By TOMAS McKENNIE
Although hashtags were first used on Twitter back in 2007,
they soon became a social media phenomenon, being integrated
into most platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Linkedin,
etc.
So what exactly are hashtags, and how can your business
benefit from them? Well, let’s go ahead and take a look.
What are Hashtags?
Put simply, hashtags are the “#” symbols followed by a string
of words. As you’ve probably seen, hashtags are placed in almost
every social media post out there. But why?
Hashtags act as a label for the content users post on social
media. Their job is to place these posts under a certain category,
making it easier to find content that shares the same topic. And
with how cluttered most of our feeds are, hashtags definitely come
in handy.
However, are hashtags important for anything besides making
your posts easier to find? Well, any digital branding company will
tell that the answer to that question is yes.
The Importance of Hashtags
1. Hashtags grab attention
2. Hashtags increase visibility
3. Hashtags give you insights into your competition
4. Hashtags give you insights into your audience
5. Hashtags increase engagement
All in all, hashtags shouldn’t be treated as an afterthought.
They are as important to social media as keywords are to Search
Engine Optimization. If you use them properly, hashtags can
increase visibility and help you reach a wider audience.
With that said, to make the most out of your hashtags, you’ll
first need to research both your audience and your competitors
extensively. That will allow you to find out what your audience is
most interested in and understand how your competitors are
engaging with the said audience.

Fortnite’s Shopping Carts Disabled Yet Again By Epic
Shopping carts are unavailable due to “ongoing issues.”
Shopping carts have been a fun addition to Fortnite: Battle
Royale, but they’ve also proven to be a problematic one. Epic
Games has had to disable them a number of times due to problems
that have arisen, and that’s the case once again.
Epic confirmed the temporary removal of shopping carts in
a tweet, stating, “Due to ongoing issues, we’ll be disabling
Shopping Carts again. We’ll update you when this issue is
resolved.” There’s no time table shared for when they might be
added back in, but at this point players have become accustomed
to seeing shopping carts--Fortnite’s first vehicle--yanked from the
roster of active items.
It’s not uncommon for Epic to disable items; some are rotated
out to make way for new ones, while others--like the guided
missile--have been removed to provide the studio with time to
work on balancing them. But shopping carts have been
temporarily pulled several times now in a relatively small window
of time. Among other things, they’ve been utilized to glitch into
areas of the map that players should not be able to access, which is
extremely problematic in a competitive game. With Fortnite’s
massive popularity continuing to rise, it’s no surprise Epic is fast
to pull anything that might upset its competitive balance (and
thereby impact its growing success).
Since the launch of Battle Royale last year as a free-to-play
mode in Fortnite, Epic has steadily and frequently rolled out new
content. Some of that comes in the form of new weapons, as with
the recently added Stink Bomb, while others serve different
purposes, as with the shopping carts and Hop Rocks.
During E3, Fortnite: Battle Royale was released on Switch,
joining the existing PC, PS4, Xbox One, and iPhone versions.
Fortnite Mobile is also on the way to Android, although a release
date for that version has not yet been announced.

Lockdown Named 2020’s Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary
Lockdown, the noun that has come to define so many lives across the world in 2020, has been
named word of the year by Collins Dictionary. Lockdown is defined by Collins as “the imposition of stringent
restrictions on travel, social interaction, and access to public spaces”. The 4.5-billion-word Collins Corpus,
which contains written material from websites, books and newspapers, as well as spoken material from
radio, television and conversations, registered a 6,000% increase in ______(1) usage. In 2019, there were
4,000 recorded instances of lockdown being used. In 2020, this had risen to more than a quarter of a
million.
“Language is a reflection of the world around us and 2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic,” says Collins language content consultant Helen Newstead. “We have chosen lockdown as _______(2) word of the year because it encapsulates the shared experience of billions of people who have had to restrict _______(3) daily lives in order to contain the virus. Lockdown has affected the way we work, study, shop, and socialise. It is not a word of the year to celebrate, but it is, perhaps, one that sums up the year for most of the world.”
Other pandemic-related words such as coronavirus, social distancing and key worker were on the dictionary’s list of the top 10 words. However, the coronavirus crisis didn’t completely dominate this year’s vocabulary: words like “Megxit,” a term to describe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping back as senior members of the royal family, also made the shortlist along with “TikToker” (a person who regularly shares or appears in videos on TikTok), and “BLM.” The abbreviation BLM, for Black Lives Matter is defined by Collins as “a movement that campaigns against racially motivated violence and oppression”, it registered a 581% increase in usage.

Because we all have different styles of teaching, and therefore planning, orientations about course planning and delivery should not be meant to be prescriptive. As Bailey (1996) points out, a lesson plan is like a road map “which describes where the teacher hopes to go in a lesson, presumably taking the students along”. It is the latter part of this quote that is important for teachers to remember, because they may need to make “in-flight” changes in response to the actuality of the classroom. As Bailey (1996) correctly points out, “In realizing lesson plans, part of a skilled teacher’s logic in use involves managing such departures to maximimize teaching and learning opportunities”. Clearly thought-out lesson plans will more likely maintain the attention of students and increase the likelihood that they will be interested.
