Linguisitc prejudice is endemic in public life, widely tolerated, and institutionalized in social enterprises that affect almost everyone, such as education and the media. There is limited knowledge about and little regard forlinguistic study showing that all varieties of a language display systematicity and that the elevated social position of standard varieties has no scientific linguistic basis.

In Kenya and other low- -income countries, at-home food’s share of consumption expenditures can exceed 50 percent. Per capita calorie availability follows the reverse path. According to the most recent available data, U.S. per capita calorie availability was among the highest at 3,682 calories per day, while Kenya’s was estimated at only 2,206 calories.

For a typical dollar spent in 2020 by U.S. consumers on domestically produced food, including both grocery store and eating-out purchases, 27.9 cents went to foodservice establishments such as restaurants and other eating-out places. The foodservice share of the food dollar decreased after 9 years of gains as households shifted to food-at-home consumption during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. For the remainder of the food dollar, transportation (4.1 cents) and wholesale trade (11.9 cents) rose to their highest shares reported in the series, which provides statistics back to 1993.

In American literature, regionalism refers to works that describe distinctive local geography and culture, and to movements that value smaller-scaled representations of place over representations of broad territorial range. Regionalism emerges from the perception of modern geographic plurality; writers and readers understand a larger unit of space (commonly the national territory) to be diversified at its periphery according to topographical features, economy, history, dialect, and manners. A region is always one among many within a common container, characterized by uneven development between center and periphery. Regionalism indicates that a writer has chosen to focus on one of the areas outside the centers of power, and to organize the work around that region. In American literature, regionalism has been associated with the sketch or short story, although the category can accommodate poetry and the novel. Regionalism’s detractors have treated it as a minor form portraying outdated folkways, more parochial than literature that features a larger spatial scale and cosmopolitan characters. Its defenders reject that evaluation, often arguing that regionalism provided access to female, nonwhite, and rural writers, who used the form in innovative and empowering ways.

Delta variant and low vaccine access
creates a third wave in Africa
Covid-19 cases are surging across the African continent, with more than twenty countries now in the grip of a third wave. Experts predict this wave will surpass case numbers seen in previous peaks. The speed and scale of Africa’s third wave is like nothing seen before, says Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization regional director for Africa. The Delta variant is a big part of this potentially catastrophic surge, with over a dozen countries having detected cases. In Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Delta variant is now the most common in circulation. Stopping the spread and mutation of Covid-19 relies on populations being vaccinated. But access to vaccines in Africa is far too low. According to the latest WHO figures, only 1% of the African population has been fully vaccinated, compared to 50% of the population in high income countries like the UK and USA. Covid-19 vaccines, the world’s best hope to end the pandemic, are not being distributed fairly.

The teacher introduces the topic of past verb forms by means of informal conversation asking students about activities they performed on the last weekend (it is useful to know that the past tense of regular and irregular verbs has already been studied in other previous classes). Then he/she presents students a text, in the genre interview, which students should silently read and employ to fill in the individual chart that they have just been given. The students are told to pay close attention to verb use in the text, so that the chart should be filled with regular and irregular verbs which appear in the text in their past form. Students are also told that not all of the blanks in the chart would be filled. Afterward there will happen the sharing and discussion of the collected information.
