A new scholarship aimed at developing the next generation of artificial intelligence “pioneers” will open to applicants in spring 2026, with the first cohort beginning studies the following autumn.

The Sparck AI scholarships, named after pioneering British computer scientist Karen Sparck Jones, will give master’s degree university students access to industry-leading firms as the Government looks to boost the UK’s AI credentials.

The University of Bristol will be one of nine universities to offer the fully-funded Government scholarship, alongside faculties in Newcastle, Manchester and Edinburgh.

The scheme has been developed in line with the Government’s “AI Opportunities Action Plan”, receiving more than £17 million of funding from Westminster, with the grant covering both students’ tuition and living costs.

Alongside master’s places, 100 scholars will receive placements in leading AI companies, as well as mentorship from industry experts. It is hoped the scholarships will give students “unparalleled access” to the fast-moving industry.

Vice-Chancellor Evelyn Welch said the scholarships would give Bristol the chance to “explore bold new ideas and nurture exceptional talent.” Technology Secretary Peter Kyle MP said he believed the scheme would help students secure “highly skilled jobs” and build “a workforce fit for the future.” AI talent acquisition firm Beamery said the scholarships would help their goal to create “equal access to work” and connect “talent to opportunity”.

Text CB1A2


Currently, the Digital Euro has not been launched — though there are signs that a launch may be coming sooner rather than later. By October 2025, the ECB (European Central Bank) has indicated a second phase of the preparation for the Digital Euro. By then, the ECB will have prepared an outreach plan, procurement standards, and technology providers.

The Digital Euro has potential downsides, many of them echoed in the other launches of central bank digital currencies. For example, the central bank will become a technology company focused on procurement with central points of failure. This was a breeding ground for corruption for the bureaucrat fortunate enough to make these technical choices in China.

While the Digital Euro is slated to “coexist” with cash, this also comes when EU (European Union) nations are voting on ending end-to-end encryption (a critical digital privacy tool) and have started to restrict cash with limits being placed on how much you can spend in cash to accelerate its slow demise.

User privacy is said to be the ECB’s “chief concern” as it has been designing the central bank’s digital currency. Certainly, the ECB is aware of public perception that has negative surveillance, control, and privacy implications in mind. The ECB has been at pains to say that the Digital Euro will “coexist” with cash and that unlike the e-CNY (China’s central bank digital coin) it will not be tied to a “social credit” score or place limits on how money is spent.

A big part of the ECB’s drive towards the Digital Euro is to compete and pry Europeans away from Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and “stablecoins”.

Central bank digital currencies are a direct liability of the central bank. Since the central bank has the power to issue currency, this means that the central bank can essentially create “digital euros” if it wishes to. The architecture and data within a central bank digital currency are usually built completely by the central bank supported by private vendors of its choice. In China, the central bank has turned away from a distributed ledger technology to a centralized data store, in which the technical details are pretty scant. Hence, the central bank controls everything, and the system has no external access.

Innovation is crucial for the food industry to address several critical challenges. Firstly, it is essential to meet the rising demand for food products driven by a growing global population. By implementing new technologies and improving production processes, companies can significantly increase output. Secondly, innovation plays a vital role in enhancing the efficiency and reducing the costs associated with food production. This allows companies to remain competitive by offering affordable prices while maintaining profitability. Finally, innovation empowers companies to adapt to evolving consumer preferences. This includes developing new products that cater to specific dietary needs and preferences, such as healthier options or products with unique flavor combinations.
Innovation in the food industry can be broadly categorized into four key areas: product innovation, process innovation, packaging innovation, and marketing/branding innovation. Product innovation focuses on creating new or improved food products with unique features and benefits for consumers. This may involve developing new flavors, textures, and incorporating healthier ingredients. Process innovation aims to optimize production processes by implementing new technologies and methods to increase output while maintaining or improving quality standards. Packaging innovation explores innovative ways to package and present food products to consumers, such as using eco-friendly materials, implementing unique designs, and incorporating features that extend shelf life. Finally, marketing/branding innovation involves developing creative strategies to promote food products to consumers, leveraging social media, influencer marketing, and engaging campaigns to build brand loyalty.

Because the culture of any community has many facets and manifestations, it would be practically impossible to deal with all of them in the classroom and prepare students for the many situations that they might encounter in the course of their functioning in ESL/EFL environments. However, many important aspects of teaching the second culture can be brought forth and addressed via classroom instruction, and some of these are discussed here. The most important long-term benefits of teaching culture may be to provide learners with the awareness and the tools that will allow them to achieve their academic, professional, social, and personal goals and become successful in their daily functioning in L2 environments.

Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city


SAO PAULO (AP) — Around 1.4 million households in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were without power on Saturday almost 24 hours after a brief but powerful storm swept through South America’s largest metropolis. At least seven people were killed.


Officials in Sao Paulo state said that record winds of up to 67 mph (108 kph) knocked down transmission lines and destroyed trees, causing severe damage in some parts. The storm also shut down several airports and interrupted water service in several areas, according to the state government.


Authorities originally expected to restore power within a few hours. But several neighborhoods in the metropolitan area, which is home to 21 million people, were still in the dark on Saturday, and authorities were urging residents to limit their consumption of water.

Even before they start reading the text “Powerful storm knocks out power to 1.4 million homes in Brazil’s largest city”, some students say they will not be able to understand it. And immediately mention the words “knock”, “households” and “swept”, in the headline and the first paragraph.

The literature about teaching reading in a second language mentions a variety of methods and approaches to deal with unknown vocabulary. Materials and teachers may instruct learners to

I. make use of the dictionary: they will not understand the text properly if they do not know all the words in it.
II. look for the pronunciation of the unknown words: the association between sound and spelling always helps comprehension.
III. ignore vocabulary difficulties and focus on grammar: meaning does not derive from words in isolation but from sentence structures.
IV. Pay attention to context and appeal to background knowledge on the subject: making inferences is key to learning a new language.
V. Concentrate on text meaning rather than word meaning: words may be ignored if not essential to the comprehension of the text’s main points.

Usage and use

The distinction between language use and language usage was first made by Widdowson. He coined the term usage for language which conformed to pre-established paradigms of language. Usage is independent of context, and is related to language correctness.

In contrast, use has to do with the speaker’s intention in producing a particular sentence. For example, the sentence “I don’t know what you mean”, said in a particular context, may imply a request for clarification; the same sentence, said in a different way and in a different context, may be an expression of disbelief.

Most sentences in textbooks and in grammar practices are well-formed sentences. However, can you think of a real-life situation in which a sentence such as “This is my hand” is pronounced?

Em muitos contextos da escola brasileira permanece forte a herança da tradição estruturalista, focada em usage. Pense em um professor brasileiro formado dentro de tal tradição que, percebendo seus limites para desenvolver a capacidade de o estudante interagir no mundo por meio da língua inglesa, começa a preparar suas aulas sob a ótica de uma abordagem centrada em use.

Transfer is a general term referring to the application of prior skills or knowledge to subsequent learning. While positive transfer benefits the learning task, “negative transfer” or “interference” disrupts learning. In language learning, the learner’s mother tongue is an obvious set of previous experiences, and a most common source of interference errors. Observe os pares de frases que seguem. A versão em português foi fornecida pela professora. A tradução foi feita por um dos estudantes. Nas traduções, observa-se a interferência do português.
