American english file 4 student book
This article discusses the trend of "extreme interviewing" where interviewers ask job candidates unusual or bizarre questions to see how they react. Some examples given include asking what kind of dinosaur the candidate would be or having the interviewer pretend to be a chicken. The goal is to assess how quickly candidates can think on their feet when caught off guard. This style of interviewing originated in technology companies in Silicon Valley and is meant to distinguish truly exceptional candidates from just very qualified ones. While strange, proponents believe it provides an opportunity to see aspects of a person's personality that a typical interview may miss. However, others argue it may be too unusual or intimidating for candidates.

Scouse is characterized phonetically by TH-stopping, H-dropping, and differences in vowel pronunciation compared to Received Pronunciation (RP). For example, words containing "air/are/ear" are pronounced with the vowel sound in "nurse" rather than "square." Scouse also exhibits lenition processes that modify consonant sounds like "t" and "k." The accent continues to evolve across generations.

Foundations of Communication and Models of Comm.
1) Strong social relationships and avoiding loneliness provide significant health benefits, while social isolation is a major risk factor for disease.
2) Communication is a complex process where people interact through symbols to create and interpret meanings in a systemic way. Early models of communication focused on simple linear exchanges, but modern models recognize the transactional nature of communication.
3) Many factors can introduce noise or ambiguity into communication exchanges, including environmental factors, internal states, and the symbolic and personal nature of deriving meaning from words and messages. Establishing shared contexts is important for effective communication.

Disinfo Lectio

Applying this method could help build skills for engaging with information more mindfully versus quick scrolling, and gain new understanding of posts' intent and missing context.
Visual Turn
This document discusses semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. It explains that there are three main types of signs: iconic signs which closely resemble the object, indexical signs which have a commonsense connection to the thing, and symbolic signs which have no logical representational connection. It provides examples of each type of sign including the word "cat" as an iconic sign, smoke as an indexical sign for fire, and words or equations as symbolic signs.
Disinformation
People turning to social media for news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are encountering high levels of misinformation, including old videos, fake photos, and video game footage passed off as real. The document provides tips for how to verify information, such as checking if other authoritative sources have confirmed it, assessing the credibility of sources, and doing lateral reading from other reliable outlets. It also mentions new EU regulations that aim to curb digital disinformation by very large platforms and search engines through content moderation and transparency requirements.
