What the Paris Olympics opening ceremony really
meant
The opening ceremony of the Olympic
Games traditionally offers the host city the
opportunity to celebrate sporting excellence and
international unity while also presenting to the world
a flattering portrait of its own nation, informed by its
own culture. [...]
[...] Entitled ‘Ça ira’ (‘It’ll be all right’), the show
garnered mixed reviews in the French press. It was
described variously as magical or catastrophic, as an
astonishing apotheosis or a distressing accumulation
of kitsch. Lady Gaga performed up and down a flight
of stairs, dressed in feathers. The French singer
Philippe Katerine, covered in blue body paint and
dressed up as Bacchus, reclined in a platter of fruit.
A threesome blossomed in the Bibliothèque
Nationale. Decapitated figures of Marie-Antoinette
holding their singing heads appeared at the windows
of the Conciergerie. A floating piano was set on fire.
The ceremony was conceived over two years by a
committee made up of historian Patrick Boucheron
(a member of the prestigious research institute, the
Collège de France), the scriptwriter Fanny Herrero
(creator of the Netflix series 10 Pour Cent/Call My
Agent), the novelist Leïla Slimani (winner of the
Goncourt literary prize for her novel Chanson
douce/Lullaby), and the dramatist Damien Gabriac,
who were all assembled in 2022 by the event’s
master of ceremonies, theatre director Thomas Jolly.
to co-write the script of their celebration of France.
[...]
The man behind Le Puy du Fou is entrepreneur and
politician Philippe de Villiers. Although de Villiers
briefly served as Secretary of State for Culture under
Socialist President François Mitterand, he is
currently a member of French nationalist party
Reconquête!, whose leader is the far-right firebrand
Eric Zemmour. De Villiers is a Christian traditionalist
who has expressed hostility towards Islam and has
maintained that during the French Revolution a
political ‘genocide’ was perpetrated against the
Royalist people of Vendée.
It was therefore important for Jolly and his team
firmly to distance their own project from Le Puy du
Fou and to offer instead, as Jolly said: ‘the opposite
of a virile, heroic and providential history’, of ‘an ode
to grandeur’ or to the ‘manifestation of force’.
Besides de Villiers’ theme park, another anti-model
may have been the opening ceremony of the 2023
Rugby World Cup. Hosted by the popular actor Jean
Dujardin and featuring a playful celebration of
traditional French life, it was criticised for portraying
a nostalgic and ‘rancid’ version of France. To be sure,
at a time when France is politically and culturally
riven, it would have seemed important to tell a
national story that would unite rather than divide. In
contrast, Jolly aimed for a celebration of ‘planetary
multi-ethnicity’. But was it not in hindsight a mistake,
a missed opportunity, to throw out, for fear that it
might be politically toxic, anything that might be
perceived as a celebration of French history, or the
shared heritage that binds all French people
together?
Patrick Boucheron, the historian in Jolly’s team, has
declared his ‘resistance’ to the idea of a ‘roman
national’, the strengthening story a nation
collectively weaves about itself – the word roman
meaning in this instance at once a narrative and a
romance. Boucheron favours instead a decentring of
national consciousness and a deconstruction of
national history. There was always a danger in
rejecting historical greatness for ideological reasons.
Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte – both absent
from the celebration – really do belong to all French;
including them in the narrative would not have made
it reactionary. Meanwhile Jolly’s desire
systematically to foreground pop culture in order not
to appear elitist often felt parochial. What is the
long-term cultural significance of Nicky Doll, Paloma
and Piche, stars of the reality show Drag Race
France? Was the performance of John Lennon’s song
Imagine really, as a sports historian declared in the newspaper Libération, ‘heavy with meaning’
because of its nature as a ‘political and cultural
allegory’?
Wasn’t it also a pity not to celebrate France’s
contemporary achievements, especially the
rebuilding of Notre-Dame after its devastation by
fire, and the Grand Paris Express transport network
being developed for better integration of central
Paris and its banlieues?
But above all, what was missing from the show, with
rare exceptions – such as the sight of the Olympic
cauldron rising into the sky tethered to a gigantic hot
air balloon – was beauty. This signalled a lack of
cultural confidence on the part of the ceremony’s
storytellers. It was telling, for example, that Marcel
Proust, one of France’s most exceptional writers,
was featured as a caricatured carnival head,
alongside Little Red Riding Hood and Marcel
Marceau. Nor was placing the ceremony under the
auspices of ‘Ça ira’, a 1790 anthem of the French
Revolution as familiar to the French as the
Marseillaise, an expression of intellectual
confidence. Like the Marseillaise, ‘Ça ira’ is a call to
violence – an ode to the systematic hanging of
aristocrats from lamp-posts – and insisting, as Jolly
did, that it can be reframed as a message of hope and
of ‘union and unity within diversity’ is meaningless.
Ultimately, whether any of this landed with its
audience remains doubtful. In spite of the driving
rain, the French enjoyed the show’s wackiness, the
party atmosphere, the excitement and anticipation
of the Games. And the Games themselves were a
wonderful success. But a message was sent
nevertheless. And now that the Olympic truce is
over, Emmanuel Macron must once again face up to
a divided nation

Conclusions and Recommendations
Given the panorama of English instruction in Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, and
considering the results of the surveys conducted with universities and teachers in both states, some conclusions and
recommendations could be drawn.
Nationally, English instruction has been gaining importance and visibility through curriculum reform and the new model
of upper secondary school. It is an enormously significant achievement that, for the first time, English has become mandatory
in all public and private schools from 6th grade onward. The BNCC offers clarity on the competencies and abilities that students
should develop at each education level. However, if, on the one hand, making English compulsory was an important step, on
the other hand, the implementation of this policy is still incomplete. The main issue is the limited amount of instructional time
in English in the national curriculum guidelines. As the cases of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais illustrate, the result is that
students have insufficient exposure to the language, with only two classes per week in secondary schools and one class per
week in upper secondary. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and
teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.
Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the
routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the
programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and
communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.
Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial
training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical
elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools
with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and
enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies. Therefore, they enter schools not fully
prepared to be teachers and face all the challenges of a classroom.
Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability
to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English
teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one
school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their
contracts.
The surveys with teachers demonstrated that many have never participated in a professional development session
specifically designed for English teachers. For those who have, not all considered the helpful training to improve their knowledge
and practice. This points to the fact that more attention needs to be paid to the continuous training courses offered to English
teachers. These training courses should be frequent and address specific challenges, taking into account the pedagogical issues
and areas that English teachers identify as most critical.
Briefly, it is important to highlight the windows of opportunity that have been opened in Brazil with the BNCC and the
new upper secondary model. Through their education ministries, state governments have made significant efforts to adapt
their regional curricula to the competencies and abilities listed on the BNCC and implement the first pilots and designed
pathways for upper secondary schools. It remains a question of how the rest of those two processes will be implemented, but
there are positive signs that English may gain more importance at a national level. At least in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso,
there is already a movement to increase the importance of the discipline.
While Minas Gerais has developed a few specific training courses for English teachers focused on improving their
pedagogical knowledge through the program “Pathways for Educators” and intends to create a training pathway for upper
secondary students focused in English, Mato Grosso has implemented English in all primary schools in the state and launched
the program “More English,” with resources to help teachers and students. Those efforts are aligned with the national reforms
and illustrate the political willingness of states to promote more actions to improve teachers’ and students’ proficiency in
English.
In these states and, to some extent, at the national level, the foundations have been set to put English instruction in the
spotlight as a crucial discipline to the integral development of students. However, much work and resources are still needed to
realize this goal. Therefore, the following recommendations are intended to advise decision-makers at universities and State
Education Departments.

Text for the question.
In today’s rapidly evolving technological
landscape, IT professionals are increasingly playing a
pivotal role in enhancing the fields of physiotherapy and
occupational therapy. By integrating advanced technology
into therapeutic practices, IT experts are helping to create
innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes and
streamline clinical processes.
One significant contribution is the development
of sophisticated software and applications that enable
therapists to design personalized treatment plans. These
digital tools allow for precise tracking of patient progress,
making it easier to adjust therapies in real‑time based on
data analytics. For instance, motion‑sensing technology
and wearable devices can monitor a patient’s physical
movements during exercises, providing immediate
feedback to both the therapist and the patient.
Additionally, virtual reality (VR) and augmented
reality (AR) are revolutionizing rehabilitation methods.
IT professionals are creating immersive VR environments
where patients can perform therapeutic exercises in a
controlled, engaging setting. This approach is particularly
beneficial for those recovering from injuries or surgeries,
as it can make repetitive exercises more enjoyable and
less monotonous.
Telehealth platforms are another area where
IT expertise is crucial. These platforms enable remote
consultations and therapy sessions, ensuring that
patients have access to care regardless of their location.
IT professionals ensure that these systems are secure,
user‑friendly, and efficient, thereby expanding the reach of
physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
Moreover, data security and patient confidentiality
are paramount in healthcare. IT professionals implement
robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive patient
information. By doing so, they help maintain trust and
compliance with regulatory standards, ensuring that
therapeutic practices are both effective and safe.
In conclusion, the collaboration between IT
professionals and therapists is fostering a new era of
healthcare where technology and therapy converge.
This synergy not only enhances the quality of care but
also empowers patients on their journey to recovery,
demonstrating the invaluable role of IT in advancing
physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
In the sentence, “Motion‑sensing technology and wearable
devices can monitor a patient’s physical movements during
exercises, providing immediate feedback to both the
therapist and the patient,” the word “immediate” is a/an

Action for Global Health publishes Stocktake Review
Unlimit Health is a proud member of Action for Global Health (AfGH), an influential network of more than 50 organisations
working towards a world where health equity is achieved and everyone has access to the quality healthcare they need without
being forced into financial hardship.
Harnessing the expertise and strength of its members and partners, including people with lived experience of health inequity
globally and civil society organisations based in low- and middle-income countries, AfGH works to secure political action and
commitments in the UK to improve health equity globally.
Today, AfGH publishes the Stocktake Review. This report, created with the support of its membership and the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation, provides an assessment and a series of recommendations for the UK’s role in global health.
Reflecting on the report, Wendy Harrison, Unlimit Health’s CEO said, “While the UK Government has long been committed to
global health, this commitment should be supported through implementation plans and financial allocations, to achieve
healthy outcomes for all. Recent cuts to UK overseas aid have impacted negatively on people affected by neglected tropical
diseases and other health inequities, and set back efforts to strengthen health systems. As members of Action for Global
Health, we call on the UK Government to maintain their world leading role in providing long-term, bold pledges to key global
health goals and partnerships, stepping up efforts to build resilient, inclusive and strong health systems.”
The review provides a snapshot of the UK Government’s current political, financial and programmatic commitments to global
health, as well as reviewing progress towards recommendations made in the previous Stocktake Review.

Capital One Sued Over Consumer-Data Disclosures to Meta, Google
Capital One Financial Corp. is facing a proposed class action alleging the financial giant disclosed the personal and financial
information of millions of consumers to Meta Platforms Inc., Google LLC, Microsoft Corp., and other third parties without their
consent in violation of state and federal privacy laws.
Vishal Shah and three other named plaintiffs accused Capital One of “knowingly and secretly” installing online tracking tools
from third-party software providers and data-analytics companies on its website, allowing those third parties to collect
information arising from consumer visits there.
Data allegedly disclosed to the third parties included information arising from consumers’ interactions with the website,
information about bank and credit card accounts, information disclosed on credit card application forms, and employment
information, according to the complaint filed Monday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
Other third parties identified in the complaint included DoubleClick Inc., NewRelic Inc., Adobe Inc., Everest Technologies Inc.,
Kenshoo Ltd., Snowplow Analytics Ltd., BioCatch Inc., and Tealium Inc.
No third party is named as a defendant.
Meta’s Facebook and the others used the information for their own purposes, including for marketing and advertising, and
made further disclosures to other third parties “who will profit off of the use of that information,” the complaint said.
The plaintiffs seek to represent a nationwide class and a California subclass of people whose information was disclosed by
Capital One without their consent.
The complaint alleges negligence, negligence per se, invasion of privacy, breach of express contract, breach of implied contract,
unjust enrichment, bailment, breach of confidence, declaratory judgment, and violations of the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, the
Consumer Protection Law, the Consumer Privacy Act, the Customer Records Act, and the Invasion of Privacy Act. The plaintiffs
are seeking actual, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages; three years of credit-monitoring services for class
members; restitution and disgorgement; attorneys’ fees and costs; and pre- and post-judgment interest.

Who wants a therapist who’s robotic? But a robot therapist?
Imagine feeling overwhelmed and in need of someone to talk to, but no one is available. You have no idea what to do, who to
talk to and what to say. Chatbot AI is your new best friend. Essentially, it can take over basic human interaction and problems,
answering even the most absurd questions. An artificial intelligence chatbot provides support and guidance. But there are some
aspects that AI can not replace, things like having a physical person in front of you. Still, you feel a bit better knowing you have
some support. The 1980s were referred to as the rapid “AI boom.” Joseph Weizenbaum, a professor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, developed the first chatbot to simulate an entertaining human conversation. He envisioned it as taking
on the persona of a psychotherapist. Its original purpose was “to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts,
solve the kinds of problems now reserved for humans and improve themselves.” Ideally, a user would input a message on an
electric typewriter linked to a mainframe, and shortly after, the “psychotherapist” would respond. Decades later, in 2017,
chatbots finally became recognized as a stable form of communication. Because of continuous innovations in technology,
chatbots have been created as a type of artificial intelligence application that poses as a sort of digital friend that you can lean on.
