Be True to Your School 


A song by The Beach Boys 


When some loud braggart tries to put me down

And says his school is great

I tell him right away

Now what’s the matter buddy

Ain’t you heard of my school

It’s number one in the state (Hey, hey! Take it away! Get that

ball and fight!) 


So be true to your school now

Just like you would to your girl or guy

Be true to your school now

And let your colors fly

Be true to your school 


I got a letterman’s sweater

With a letter in front

I got for football and track

I’m proud to wear it now

When I cruise around

The other parts of the town

I got a decal in back 


Come Friday we’ll be jacked up on the football game

And I’ll be ready to fight

We’re gonna smash ‘em now

My girl will be working on her pom-poms now

And she’ll be yelling tonight 


So be true to your school now

Just like you would to your girl or guy

Be true to your school now

And let your colors fly

Be true to your school (Push them back, push them back)

The Benefits of ChatGPT in Educational Settings 


        Dr. Steve Watson from Cambridge University’s Faculty of Education remarked that “ChatGPT brings both new opportunities and new complexity.” This insight is especially relevant to education, in which ChatGPT can assist both teachers and students, reducing workloads and creating new learning opportunities. Here are key areas where ChatGPT can play a significant role in education according to his studies.


Personalized Learning 


        Though a digital tool, ChatGPT offers personalized learning experiences. It adapts to students’ unique learning styles through personalized recommendations based on their history. This allows students to receive targeted answers and support in any subject they need help with. ChatGPT also helps students build on topics they’re investigating by creating useful frameworks. Similarly, teachers can use it to craft content specific to their lessons and generate information for classroom discussions.


Virtual Tutoring 


        ChatGPT functions as a flexible virtual tutor, offering instant support. Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, it adjusts to the students’ needs and provides immediate answers, which helps to reduce frustration and increases confidence. Students working under tight deadlines especially benefit from this on-demand access to help, as it allows them to solve problems quickly and avoid missing important project deadlines. ChatGPT can also identify areas where students struggle, providing targeted assistance in real time.


Language Learning 


        ChatGPT can also aid language learners. Like grammarly helps with writing, ChatGPT offers real-time translations, grammar corrections, and pronunciation feedback. Students struggling with language can improve their writing skills and gain confidence in their communication. The platform’s language prompts also make it easier to create targeted content, which is especially useful in foreign language classes. Teachers can fine-tune ChatGPT’s outputs to better meet specific class needs, enriching the learning experience.


Exam Preparation 


When it comes to preparing for exams, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. It generates practice questions and gives feedback on student responses, helping students pinpoint areas they need to focus on. This makes ChatGPT a personalized study guide. Additionally, it provides grammar and vocabulary exercises, reducing study time while adding value to each session. These exercises can help students prepare for assessments more efficiently and build confidence. 


Writing Assistance 


    Writing essays or assignments can feel daunting, but ChatGPT simplifies the process. It helps students generate topic ideas, corrects grammar and spelling, and suggests improvements to writing style. Acting like an online editor, ChatGPT streamlines content creation. Beyond basic writing help, it also fosters critical thinking and analytical skills. ChatGPT can process data, mirror human thinking, and deliver responses that help students draw logical conclusions and present their arguments clearly.

ChatGPT doesn’t specifically aim to improve writing skills beyond basic corrections, as it mainly focuses on grammar and spelling.

     A survey released on Thursday (18) by MapBiomas shows that, in 2022, 77% of the illegal mining areas in the Brazilian Amazon were less than 500 meters away from water streams, such as rivers and lakes. According to satellite images recently revealed, the Amazon had 186,000 hectares of illegal mining areas near water streams, out of a total of 241,000 hectares occupied by illegal miners (known in Brazil as “garimpeiros”) in the region. At the time, the Amazon accounted for 92% of all the area mined in the country.      “The proximity of gold mines to watercourses is the DNA of mining activities in the Amazon, especially gold, which is almost always linked to rivers and their alluvial deposits. While deforestation is confined to the area mined, the siltation caused by mining near the edges of rivers and other water streams coupled with the contamination of water by mercury, and more recently by cyanide, reach much larger areas,” said Cesar Diniz, a technical coordinator of mining mapping at MapBiomas. The survey also showed that around 10% of the area mined in the Amazon (25,100 hectares) is located within Indigenous Lands, especially in the Kayapó, Munduruku and Yanomami lands. MapBiomas points out that Indigenous lands are the best-preserved areas in the Amazon: from 1985 to 2022, they lost less than 1% of their native vegetation, compared to 26% recorded in private areas.

From Woolf to Sackville-West

52 Tavistock Square
Tuesday, January 26.

    Your letter from Trieste came this morning – But why do you think I don’t feel, or that I make phrases? ‘Lovely phrases’ you say which rob things of reality. Just the opposite. Always, always, always I try to say what I feel. Will you then believe that after you went last Tuesday – exactly a week ago – out I went into the slums of Bloomsbury, to find a barrel organ. But it did not make me cheerful … And ever since, nothing important has happened – Somehow it's dull and damp. I have been dull; I have missed you. I do miss you. I shall miss you. And if you don’t believe it, you’re a long eared owl and ass. Lovely phrases? …
    But of course (to return to your letter) I always knew about your standoffishness. Only I said to myself, I insist upon kindness. With this aim in view, I came to Long Barn. Open the top button of your jersey and you will see, nestling inside, a lively squirrel with the most inquisitive habits, but a dear creature all the same – V.

Read thoroughly to answer the following question.

    Had the great pleasure of introducing my 14-year-old son to one of my favorite movies tonight. I saw SCREAM five times when it was released theatrically in 1996. I was a freshman in college and working part-time at my hometown movie theater, Cineplex Odeon in Bowie, Maryland, and I remember loving it so much that I would sometimes spend my 15-minute breaks in the back of the theater just to admire the filmmaking.
   The movie absolutely knocked the wind out of me in '96, and I'm pleased to report that it still works beautifully for me today.
    SCREAM is a riff on the high-school slasher film, where a group of friends are picked off one-by-one by a masked killer. The difference is that both the killer and the intended victims are aware of (and in some cases well-versed in) the very movies that created this genre, and try to use those tropes as a means of attack, or a way to survive. This kind of meta-genre deconstruction was pretty revolutionary in 1996, but SCREAM succeeds at being an exceptional slasher film even as it takes the genre apart, and that is truly miraculous to behold.
    Kevin Williamson's script is crackling with wit, humor, and deep respect and love for the genre. Craven's direction is fluid, confident, and full of brilliant misdirection – it feels like watching close-up magic, and his slight of hand is balanced with some truly inspired set pieces and beautiful cinematography. The cast is wonderful, and I found myself smiling about just how affectionately I remember these characters. When the movie started, I didn't think “oh there's Neve Campbell, and there's Matt Lillard” – I was thinking “There's Sid, there's Stu.”
    It's easy to forgot how revolutionary and astonishing the iconic opening sequence was, and I marvel now at the extended party set-piece, which takes up almost the entirety of the second half of the film. Just wonderful stuff.
     SCREAM is a gleeful, brilliant deconstruction of the genre itself, breaking it apart with profound respect and love, and celebrating the very tropes it is exposing. There's a reason it had such impact on release, and that the franchise is still finding some fuel in the tank nearly three decades later. It's also a time capsule of the late 90's, and reminds me so much of my youth – I grinned when the sheriff asks Billy Loomis “Why do you have a cellular telephone, son?” This was, at the time, not an unreasonable question. It's a different world, but horror still works just as well.
     If I would have told my 18 year-old self that someday I'd work with (and become great friends with) Matthew Lillard, enjoy meals and social deduction games with Kevin Williamson, and have a relaxed, casual dinner with Neve Campbell... I frankly would never have believed it. I've now gotten to personally thank those artists for the impact this film had on me, and that in and of itself only further blurs the lines between movies and reality – a sensation I faintly felt watching NEW NIGHTMARE in 1994, and felt completely with SCREAM. What a wild world this is.
    This movie was formative for me, and changed the way I looked at what was possible in the genre. I loved it when I was 18, and I loved it tonight. And, my son also loved it... so a great evening all around.

Every day we wonder who will be deported next.
Every morning we look around for our friends.
We make sure they are still here.
Those who are deported are taken at the wee hours,
Setting that fear among us as if we were kids afraid of the dark.
While we wait behind these walls, all we can do is watch.
Watch all that we've worked for all these years go down in flames.
And our families?
They are scattered, living with relatives.
And our children?
They ask and wonder, “When is Daddy coming home?”
We don't ask for much. Just for liberty and justice for all.

Generation y or the millennials: digital natives

  The revolution was shaped by the millennials or generation Y. Also known as digital natives, millennials are those born between 1982 and 1994 and technology is part of their everyday lives: all their activities are mediated by a screen. The concept of on and off is completely integrated into their lives. However, they were not born into it; they migrated to the digital world from the analogue one in which they were living.

   Unlike previous generations, because of the economic crisis, the world requires them to be better trained to get a job, as competition is increasing. Unlike their parents, Generation X, digital natives are not satisfied with the world around them and are ambitious and want to achieve their goals.

    However, the millennial generation is labelled as being lazy, narcissistic and spoilt. In fact, in 2014, Time magazine labelled them as the me-me-me generation.
