IT HELP DESK
Working the IT help desk can be a great entry-level job.
As a help desk professional, your core responsibilities are to
provide technical help and support; that could mean setting
up and repairing computers or responding to a customer’s
question about how to use their computer, as well as
performing routine maintenance of a company’s computer
networks and internet systems or teaching staff how to use
new technologies. The job requires deep computer knowledge
and good technical and interpersonal skills. But what if you
want more? Additional credentials and advanced degrees can
help you move beyond the IT help desk. Here are three career
paths to consider.
(i) Cloud and systems administrator – Network and
systems administration is a natural next step from the IT
help desk. Organizations need reliable computer networks,
so there’s great demand for skilled professionals who can
manage, administer, and protect computer systems. (ii)
Network ops and security expert - Cybersecurity is a top-of-mind concern in every sector and industry. IT professionals
with expert training in network operations and security
systems are in high demand. (iii) IT manager – Yes, you will
need plenty of experience, credentials, and certifications; still,
you can get to a managerial or executive-level position from
the IT help desk. It can be tough to see the top through all
those steps of the stair, but the top is closer than you think.
Software development, computer network architecture,
and computer programming are other possible professions
those working on the IT help desk or in other entry-level
IT positions can pursue. In today’s ever-changing job
marketplace, there’s no one career pathway.

Mining trucks are monstrous machines that guzzle fuel
at a scarcely believable rate. Weighing 220 tonnes, they can
get through 134 litres of diesel every hour. Little wonder then
that mining companies are focusing their attention on these
vehicles as the first step to reducing their carbon footprint.
Anglo American, in collaboration with several partners, is
retrofitting a mining haul truck with hydrogen power technology.
A first of its kind, the monster mining vehicle is being piloted
in Limpopo, South Africa, at the firm’s Mogalakwena platinum
mine. Due to be launched early 2022, the truck will be hybrid,
with a hydrogen fuel cell providing roughly half of the power
and a battery pack the other half.
Instead of having a tank of diesel that powers the motor,
hydrogen enters the fuel cell and mixes with oxygen to create
water in a chemical reaction catalysed by platinum, which
generates the electricity needed to power the motors that
drive the wheels. By rolling out this technology across its
global truck fleet, Anglo American says it will be “taking the
equivalent of half a million diesel cars ‘off the road”.
The construction sector, which includes mining, accounted
for 39% of energy-related CO2
emissions in 2017, according
to Davide Sabbadin, from the European Environmental
Bureau. He says the sector will need to reduce its energy
consumption by a third if it hopes to be compatible with the
Paris Agreement. “While electric-powered vehicles, generally
speaking, are less damaging to the environment than internal
combustion engines on a life cycle analysis, this does not
mean that they are green,” he says. It all hinges on how the
hydrogen is produced. Some hydrogen is created using fossil
fuels, which of course means there are substantial emissions
as a result. “We should refrain from presenting hydrogen as a
technological solution to all problems… all forms of hydrogen
come at an environmental cost – water use, impacts on
nature,” says Mr Sabbadin.

this technology across its global truck fleet –, the terms
in bold can be correctly replaced, with no change in

A Mayor on Easter Island Is Up in Arms After a
Runaway Pickup Truck Knocked Over a Sacred
Statue
(1º§)Archaeologists have long assumed that the ancient
society that erected the colossal Moai figures on Chile's
Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, collapsed many
centuries ago. Now, a new study indicates that the
islanders' civilization was still going strong when
Europeans arrived in 1722.
(2º§)The island was settled in the 13th century by
Polynesians, and is known __ the famed Easter Island
"heads" (many of the bodies have been buried by erosion
over the centuries).
(3º§)The research, which appears in the Journal of
Archaeological Science, contests the accepted timeline
that the Easter Island society was already in decline by
the year 1600 and its massive stone statues left to fall
into disrepair.
(4º§)Conducting radiocarbon dating on 11 sites __ Easter
Island, the authors determined the timeline of each
monument's construction. Their findings indicate that
Easter Islanders were still actively building new Moai
figures, and maintaining existing ones, up until at least
1750.s of fresh water-a precious resource. As well as
moments to their ancestors, it turns out they may have
also served a more utilitarian purpose.
(5º§)Further supporting these results are historical
documents __ the island's first European visitors. Written
accounts from the Dutch explorers who arrived in 1722
found that the monuments were in active ritual use, with
no signs of decline, and the same goes for the Spaniards
who landed in 1770. It was only in 1774 that James Cook
found the giant statues in ruins and the figures knocked
over.
(6º§)"The way we interpret our results and this sequence
of historical accounts is that the notion of a pre-European
collapse of monument construction is no longer
supported," lead author Robert DiNapoli told Archaeology
& Arts.
(7º§)"Once Europeans arrive on the island, there are
many documented tragic events due to disease, murder,
slave raiding and other conflicts," added co-author Carl
Lipo. "The degree to which [the Rapa Nui people's]
cultural heritage was passed on-and is still present today
through language, arts, and cultural practices-is quite
notable and impressive. I think this degree of resilience
has been overlooked due to the collapse narrative and
deserves recognition."

Seven secrets to savvy packing before you head
off on your holidays
(1º§) 1.Tuck and roll clothes
ITEMS like sarongs and dresses are vulnerable to
creasing, but rolling them up and tucking them in
tightly is the way to beat wrinkling. Or follow tidying
guru Marie Kondo's advice and pack all of your
clothes upright, rather than in a pile, so that you can
see all of the outfits in your case.
(2º§) 2. Keep hats in shape
WHAT'S a holiday without a hat? If you need to put
yours in a suitcase, make sure it's one of the first
things you pack, and stuff it! A swimsuit works well as
the cossie will keep its shape no matter what you
pack it in. Then place small items such as underwear
around it.
(3º§) 3. Stuff sandals to keep shape
YOU don't want your sandals to be bent out of shape
while en route, so stuff them with a small item such as
a pair of socks. That way they will also take up less
room in your suitcase. You can also slot the ends of
your sandals together to help preserve their shape
even more.
(4º§) 4. The rule off three fold
THE rule of three is an effective way to keep smaller
items such as T-shirts folded nice and tightly. Think of
your T-shirt split into three equal parts down the
middle. Fold each side into the centre, fold in half and
then again until your item is small and compact.
(5º§) 5. Tie belts around shorts
IF you have a pair of shorts or trousers that have a
tie, use it to your advantage. Remove it from the belt
loops and once your item is rolled, wrap the tie
around as many times as needed before tucking ends
in. It will stop clothing unrolling and has the extra
benefit of keeping the tie crease-free.
(6º§) 6. Fold up bag and add trinkets
FOLD your bag in half before placing it flat at the
bottom of the suitcase. Then add your larger, rolleditems on top of the bag. It will stay as flat as possible
and so avoid becoming misshapen. Add smaller items
such as jewellery inside your rolled clothes to keep
them safe.
(7º§) 7. Sunglasses protection
IF your sunglasses don't come with a protective case,
then they need to be protected from being damaged
during the journey, it's horribly easy to scratch the
lenses. A soft sarong, which is all one fabric, is
perfect for this. Pop your sunnies in, roll to the end,
and pack it up.

"misshapen" (6º§).

Critical Literacy
Critical literacies are not new among scholars and researchers
in literacy education. However, due to different theoretical bases,
there is no unique definition of “critical literacy”. In their
broadest sense, critical literacies refer to the ability to read texts
going beyond their superficial meaning. That is, it implies
approaching texts in a reflective way to understand working
ideologies such as power, inequality, and injustice. In the realm of
critical literacy, text is understood as a “vehicle through which
individuals communicate with one another using the codes and
conventions of society” (Robinson & Robinson, 2003, p. 3). Texts,
in this sense, can be either songs, novels, poems, conversations,
pictures, movies, and so on. […]
Hence, the critical literacies approach is generally contrasted
with functional literacy. The former views literacy as a social
practice, while the latter views literacy as the mastery of linguistic
skills. In addition, Manning (1999) developed a framework to
distinguish critical literacies from functional literacy by
establishing the difference between their respective ideology
purpose, literacy curriculum, and instruction. On the one hand,
the main objective of functional literacy is to produce skilled
workers for the marketplace. Consequently, the curriculum is
restrictive and the instruction is individualistic and competitive.
On the other hand, for critical literacies, texts are not neutral but
marked by power messages, dominating interests, and hidden
agendas. In order to deconstruct these texts and unveil their
ideological messages and power relationships, the curriculum is
to employ materials from the everyday world as text and analytic
tools.
Critical scholars have overtly supported the idea that there is
not a single procedure for incorporating critical literacies into the
classroom, given that the particularities of the context where the
foreign language is taught differ from one another. Thus, an
approach to critical literacies “needs to be continually redefined
in practice” (Comber, 2001, p. 274).
Adapted from: Jiménez, M.C. G. and Gutiérrez, C.P. “Engaging English as a Foreign
Language Students in Critical Literacy Practices: The Case of a Teacher at a Private
University” available at http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=

Balloons
Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon
flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in
the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows
hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air
rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air
in the grocery store freezer settles down around the
food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to
understand more about how this principle works in
hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air
balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the
burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This
ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra
weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air
inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric
balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the
envelope is heated, the balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of
the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope.
When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is
allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than
air. This makes the balloon descend.
Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which
way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a
general idea........................... which way the balloon will
go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the
direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight.
This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind
may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer
the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference
between the direction of the wind between layers is
negligible. But other days the difference is so strong
that it can actually push the balloon in a completely
different direction!
Analyse these sentences below.
1. As used in paragraph 3, the best synonym for ‘ascend’ is ‘climb’.
2. As used in paragraph 3, the best antonym for ‘descend’ is ‘fall’.
3. According to the author, wicker is “a pliable twig to make items such as furniture and baskets”.
4. The words ‘higher’ and ‘lower’, as used in the last paragraph are examples of the comparative of superiority form of the adjectives ‘high’ and ‘low’.

In our modern world, there are many factors
that place the wellbeing of the planet in
jeopardy. While some people have the opinion
that environmental problems are just a natural
occurrence, others believe that human beings
have a huge impact on the environment.
Regardless of your viewpoint, take into
consideration the following factors that place
our environment as well as the planet Earth in
danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major
contributing factor to environmental damage.
Because of global warming, we have seen an
increase in melting ice caps, a rise in sea levels,
and the formation of new weather patterns.
These weather patterns have caused stronger
storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of
excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon
dioxide into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge
from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to
chemicals, toxic substances, and improper
waste disposal. Air pollutants are absorbed into
the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a
combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as
well as produce acidic precipitation in areas far
away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments
do not sustainably use their natural resources.
Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and
even improper use of water resources can have
tremendous effects on the environment. While
these strategies often attempt to boost local
economies, their effects can lead to oil spills,
interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on
the environment can lead to many problems.
Human beings need to consider the
repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce,
reuse, and recycle materials while establishing
environmentally sustainable habits. If
measures are not taken to protect the
environment, we can potentially witness the
extinction of more endangered species,
worldwide pollution, and a completely
uninhabitable planet.
Choose the option that best replaces the
words in bold:
“Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on the environment can lead to many problems.”

occurrence, others believe that human beings
have a huge impact on the environment.
Regardless of your viewpoint, take into
consideration the following factors that place
our environment as well as the planet Earth in
danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major
contributing factor to environmental damage.
Because of global warming, we have seen an
increase in melting ice caps, a rise in sea levels,
and the formation of new weather patterns.
These weather patterns have caused stronger
storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of
excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon
dioxide into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge
from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to
chemicals, toxic substances, and improper
waste disposal. Air pollutants are absorbed into
the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a
combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as
well as produce acidic precipitation in areas far
away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments
do not sustainably use their natural resources.
Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and
even improper use of water resources can have
tremendous effects on the environment. While
these strategies often attempt to boost local
economies, their effects can lead to oil spills,
interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on
the environment can lead to many problems.
Human beings need to consider the
repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce,
reuse, and recycle materials while establishing
environmentally sustainable habits. If
measures are not taken to protect the
environment, we can potentially witness the
extinction of more endangered species,
worldwide pollution, and a completely
uninhabitable planet.

Education
Education encompasses both the teaching and learning of knowledge, proper conduct, and technical competency. It thus focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades or professions, as well as mental, moral & aesthetic development.
Formal education consists of systematic instruction, teaching and training by professional teachers. This consists of the application of pedagogy and the development of curricula.
The right to education is a fundamental human right. Since 1952, Article 2 of the first Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights obliges all signatory parties to guarantee the right to education. At world level, the United Nations’ International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 guarantees this right under its Article 13.
Educational systems are established to provide education and training, often for children and the young. A curriculum defines what students should know, understand and be able to do as the result of education. A teaching profession delivers teaching which enables learning, and a system of policies, regulations, examinations, structures and funding enables teachers to teach to the best of their abilities.
Primary (or elementary) education consists of the first
years of formal, structured education. In general, primary education consists of six or seven years of schooling starting at the age of 5 or 6, although this varies
between, and sometimes within, countries. Globally,
around 70% of primary-age children are enrolled in
primary education, and this proportion is rising.
In most contemporary educational systems of the world, secondary education consists of the second years of formal education that occur during adolescence. It is characterized by transition from the typically compulsory, comprehensive primary education for minors, to the optional, selective tertiary, “post-secondary”, or “higher” education (e.g., university, vocational school) for adults.
Higher education, also called tertiary, third stage, or
post secondary education, is the non-compulsory
educational level that follows the completion of a
school providing a secondary education, such as a
high school or secondary school. Tertiary education is
normally taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as vocational education and
training. Colleges and universities are the main institutions that provide tertiary education. Collectively,
these are sometimes known as tertiary institutions.
Tertiary education generally results in the receipt of
certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees.
In the sentence “Colleges and universities are
the main institutions that provide tertiary education.”,
the word in bold has its correct synonym, in which
alternative?

What does an occupational and environmental physician do?
As highly trained specialists, OEM physicians and other health professionals enhance the health of workers through preventive medicine, clinical care, disability
management, research, and education. OEM professionals have expertise in
determining the ability of employees to perform work; the arrangements of work,
the physical, chemical, biological, and social environments of the workplace, and
the health outcomes of environmental exposures.
They recognize that work and the environment in which it is performed can have
favorable or adverse effects upon the health of workers as well as of other populations; that the nature of work can be arranged to protect worker health; and that
health and well-being at the workplace are promoted when workers’ physical attributes or limitations are accommodated in job placement.
They are skilled at using the tools of preventive medicine ______ improve the
health of workers and their families, and they are trained in the complex Returnto-Work process, an advanced system of health monitoring that optimizes the
time in which ill or injured workers can safely return to work. The occupational and
environmental physician must communicate with and inspire confidence in people
on all levels.
Perhaps most importantly, occupational health professionals occupy a critical
position at the center of virtually all health-related transactional activities in the
workplace. They are connected to all of the other parts of this complex infrastructure—senior management, benefits and human resources, legal, worker’s compensation, government regulatory agencies, labor and unions, hospitals and public health organizations. They are a fulcrum of workplace health—understanding
the needs and challenges of each of these diverse groups. They provide a
unique bridge between the clinical/scientific medical community and the businessbased employer community.

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) refers to the policy of allowing employees to supply their own computing devices for use at
work. Employers save money by eliminating hardware purchasing and maintenance overhead, and employees enjoy the freedom of
choice to use whichever mobile phone, tablet or laptop that best meets their preferences.
For example, a user may have a Windows PC for work and a MacBook for a personal laptop. The keyboard shortcuts for each
platform are slightly different, making it easy to mangle copy-paste functions in word processors and spreadsheets. Using the same
BYOD MacBook for work and personal computing eliminates these switchover errors. Even for non-SaaS organizations, user error typically represents a third of all data loss, second only to hardware failure. The
reduction in user error gained from BYOD policies is present regardless of whether an employee is creating a document in Google
Apps or Microsoft Word.
There has yet been no rigorous study of the change in rates of user error before and after adopting BYOD policies.
Nonetheless, it's safe to assume that some level of user error is reduced by familiarity and comfort with BYOD devices.
BYOD can't make your data invulnerable, but combined with good security policies, regular user training and effective data
backup, it can make a noticeable difference in the availability and integrity of your company data.

Behind the rise of ransomware
The story of the ransomware surge is the story of the
discovery, professionalization, and growth of the targeted attack
extortion model. Prior to 2016, most ransomware campaigns
targeted a large and effectively random pool of end users. This
“spray-and-pray” business model privileged quantity over quality,
meaning ransomware actors spent less time focusing on how to
apply pressure on a given victim and more time trying to reach as
many victims as possible. Until the tail end of this period,
ransomware did not generate enormous profits. Being a secondtier avenue of cybercrime, it failed to attract as much talent or
activity as it would in the years to come.
Ransomware experienced its first period of significant growth
between 2013 and 2016, when refinements to ransomware
payloads, the emergence of virtual currencies, and enhanced
anti-fraud measures from banks and cybersecurity vendors
increased the profitability of digital extortion relative to other
common avenues of cybercrime. What happened next remains
unclear, but with more activity concentrating on ransomware,
criminals appear to have learned how easy it was to extort
organizations before piecing together how lucrative these attacks
could be. Regardless, between 2016 and 2019, established
cybercriminal gangs entered the targeted ransomware business
en masse.
From that point until the summer of 2021, cybercriminals
invested growing time and resources to improve the targeted
extortion model. During this period, digital extortion became
more profitable because cybercriminal gangs and cybercrime
markets reoriented around a near limitless demand for targeted
ransomware. Moreover, as criminals learned how to best extract revenue from victims, they launched increasingly disruptive
ransomware attacks.
[…]
Even though it is tempting to hope that we are just one
diplomatic agreement, one technological leap, or one regulation
away from its elimination, targeted ransomware is here to stay.
As with other forms of crime, the government can expect better
outcomes by planning how to manage the issue over time rather
than searching for quick and complete solutions.
