Do you "really" speak English? The British Council challenges the native-speaker myth
Wed, May 21, 2025 08:42 EDT
To mark World Day for Cultural Diversity (21 May), the British Council, the UK's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, shares a clear message: in a multilingual and globalised world, judging an English teacher's ability based on where they were born is not only inaccurate but also biased. For decades, the idea of native speakerism -the belief that only those who acquired a language naturally from early childhood are truly qualified to teach it- has shaped how English is taught, influencing both hiring practices and the expectations of students and parents. But this belief is increasingly being challenged by experts, research, and the British Council's own experience, which supports a more inclusive model of education, grounded in today's global and diverse reality. 'English doesn't belong to any one country or group. It's a global communication tool, a living language that is constantly evolving and enriched by every person who uses it, no matter their accent', says Andrew McMullen , Teaching Excellence Project Manager at the British Council. This approach is backed by the report The Future of English: Global Perspectives , which explores how traditional "native speaker" norms are becoming less relevant in a world where English is mainly used as a lingua franca among people from varied linguistic and cultural backgrounds. What makes a good English teacher? In some European countries, the myth still lingers that so-called 'native' teachers offer a superior learning experience. But the evidence -and experience- suggests otherwise: what truly makes a difference is a teacher's training, expertise, empathy, and pedagogical skills . ' Many teachers who have learned English as an additional language are better able to understand the challenges their students face and bring more effective strategies to help them overcome those challenges'', McMullen explains. A recent internal survey conducted by the British Council among more than 350 education professionals reveals strong consensus: including teachers regardless of their mother tongue improves the quality of education and reflects the diversity of English as it is spoken around the world. 'Accent should never be a reason to exclude someone. Preparing students to communicate effectively in English means exposing them to a range of accents, registers and real-world contexts. This variety mirrors the situations they'll face in their professional and personal lives, where English is used in many ways depending on the speaker and the context ', says Deni Savvidou, Director of Studies at the British Council in Madrid . ' In fact, even within the UK itself, accents vary widely. Only a small minority of speakers use so-called Received Pronunciation (RP), which prompts us to question what we mean by 'standard accent'. Rather than promoting imitation of a single model, our goal is to teach a clear, accurate and internationally intelligible form of English', she adds. ' In this context, intelligibility -not the imitation of a particular accent- should be the key. This approach responds to the real communication needs of our learners in a globalised world and supports a more inclusive vision of English as an international language ', Savvidou adds. English language teaching must reflect the linguistic and cultural reality of an increasingly interconnected world. That's why the British Council promotes a model that values teachers' actual skills and invites us to rethink the outdated categories of 'native' and 'non-native' in favour of a broader and more inclusive understanding of language knowledge. The British Council has led global initiatives to challenge stereotypes in English language teaching. From reviewing its own recruitment policies to publishing key research, such as the article Native speakerism: what is it and why does it matter? , the organisation is committed to driving structural change across the sector. ' World Day for Cultural Diversity is the perfect moment to remember that, like culture, language is a shared human asset . Promoting inclusion in English teaching is not only an act of fairness; it's an investment in quality, representation and the future ', McMullen concludes.

Time to Retire the 'Beach Body', Say Health Experts at Well by Vertis
Wed, May 21, 2025 03:44 EDT
As summer approaches, Well by Vertis, part of Vertis Health, is calling for an end to outdated and harmful phrases like "summer body" and "beach body" - terms that continue to fuel unrealistic beauty standards and put both physical and mental health at risk. Health experts at Well by Vertis are raising concerns that pressure to meet these narrow ideals is exacerbating a worrying trend in unregulated weight loss drug use. In their recent experience, many people who have struggled with weight for years are increasingly vulnerable to black market medications that promise rapid results without clinical oversight or safety guarantees. Stephanie Smith, Lead Nurse at Well by Vertis, is warning against the risks. She said, "We meet clients every day who are exhausted by the shame and stigma surrounding their bodies. The idea that there's a single 'right' way to look in summer not only damages self-esteem: it pushes people towards unsafe options. Our message is clear: health should always come before aesthetics. Quick fixes from unregulated sources are both dangerous and unnecessary." The clinic is urging anyone struggling with their weight to seek out professional, supervised support - not to fit into a certain dress size, but to feel better in themselves and take charge of their wellbeing in a sustainable, healthy way. Unlike the pressure-filled marketing that often surges in spring, Well by Vertis provides a safe, non-judgemental environment where clients are guided with empathy and clinical expertise. Instead of chasing a so-called "summer body," the clinic urges the public to focus on a summer mindset of movement, nourishment, joy, and emotional wellbeing over numbers on a scale or unrealistic images on social media. "We want people to enjoy the sunshine, not hide from it," Smith adds. "You don't need to look a certain way to deserve a holiday, a picnic, or a trip to the beach. Your body is already good enough." As the rise of unregulated use of weight loss drugs and TikTok-driven trends present new dangers, Well by Vertis is advocating for a refreshingly honest conversation about health: one that puts safety and long-term wellbeing at its heart.

UK EU Trade Reset Brings a New Era for FMCG Efficiency and Complexity
Tue, May 20, 2025 17:07 EDT
The recent "reset" trade agreement between the UK and the EU brings with it both opportunities and new complexities. Here's what it means for us and for the wider FMCG landscape. A Welcome Reduction in EU Border Friction For several years, the FMCG industry has contended with a fragmented and often inefficient post-Brexit border regime. The new UK-EU agreement introduces a long overdue sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) deal that reduces checks and simplifies paperwork for plant and animal products. Phil Durham, UK Business Unit Director at Atlante commented on the latest updates to the regulations: "The new UK-EU agreement is a welcome development for the entire FMCG industry, and specifically for importers and distributors like Atlante. As a company that sources high-quality food products from across Europe and brings them to UK shelves, any move that simplifies trade and reduces friction at the border is a major win. Streamlining customs processes and enhancing regulatory alignment will help us deliver even greater efficiency in our wholesale and distribution operations. This deal strengthens our ability to serve UK retailers with speed, consistency, and competitive pricing, all while deepening our relationships with EU partners." For UK-based FMCG distributors like Atlante, this move is a positive step forward. Faster customs clearance and reduced bureaucracy will mean: Shorter delivery times for EU imports and exports Reduced risk of life issues linked to border checks. More reliable supply chains for retailers This is especially relevant for many of Atlante's European supplier relationships, where smoother cross-border flow can support more efficient stock replenishment and better forecasting. A Compromise: Alignment with EU Food Standards The UK has agreed to "dynamic alignment" with relevant EU food and drink regulations meaning we'll follow EU rules without having a formal say in how they are made. While this may sound controversial, it also brings practical benefits for businesses like ours that work with both EU and UK partners. By adhering to a single regulatory standard, compliance becomes more straightforward. Products developed and packaged to EU specifications won't need dual-labelling or reformulation, streamlining the supply chain from producer to supermarket shelf. However, this alignment also brings challenges, especially when considering products sourced from outside the EU. The Challenge: Cost Rises for Non-EU Produce While the new agreement reduces friction for EU trade, it shifts scrutiny toward non-EU imports adding cost, time, and complexity to supply chains that rely on global sourcing. This is a concern across the FMCG industry. Under the new regime, products like avocados, pineapples, mangoes, and oranges, many of which are sourced from Costa Rica, Peru, South Africa, Egypt and Morocco, will face increased border checks and stricter compliance. Importers could now see inspection rates jump from less than 5% to as high as 100% for some fruit and vegetables. For FMCG distributors like Atlante, which source specialist products globally, this could mean: Longer port delays Higher inspection and admin costs Increased risk of shelf-life compromise Price pressure for UK retailers and consumers As highlighted by industry leaders, substituting these goods with EU alternatives is rarely feasible. European farms simply do not produce them in sufficient volume or consistency. Supply Chain Impacts: Retailers and Consumers Retailers are already navigating price sensitivity, especially in fresh and healthy food categories. While ambient and long-life products are less impacted by spoilage risk, any disruption in upstream supply (such as delayed ingredients or packaging) can ripple through to final goods. At Atlante, we're working proactively with our suppliers and logistics partners to: Optimise shipping schedules and documentation Identify alternative port routes where feasible Communicate clearly with retail customers on lead times and availability We remain committed to maintaining value and efficiency for our retail and wholesale partners even as the regulatory and logistical landscape evolves. Looking Ahead The UK-EU reset deal is a mixed bag. It provides greater clarity and efficiency for trade with Europe-a key win for FMCG businesses with established EU relationships. But it also brings new barriers for global sourcing, particularly fresh produce, which could drive cost inflation in some categories. For Atlante UK, the priorities are clear: Stay agile in managing shifting compliance requirements Support retailers with timely, transparent updates Champion innovation and value across our supply chain As ever, we will continue to combine global expertise with local knowledge to deliver exceptional FMCG distribution-no matter how the borders shift. About Us Atlante is a dynamic global food sourcing platform with over 100 specialists in sales, buying, product development, and more, dedicated to bringing innovative and authentic food solutions from concept to shelf.

Hygiena® First to Get ISO 16140-2 for Multiplex RT-PCR Detection of Salmonella and Cronobacter
Tue, May 20, 2025 12:29 EDT
First-ever ISO 16140-2 validated multiplex PCR assay for simultaneous detection of Salmonella and Cronobacter Camarillo, CA - May 20, 2025 - Hygiena ® , a global leader in One Health Diagnostics ® and food safety solutions is setting a new industry standard with the launch of its groundbreaking foodproof ® Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit ® . This innovative workflow solution is the first and only ISO 16140-2 approved rapid, real-time PCR test that enables manufacturers to detect both Salmonella spp. and Cronobacter spp. in a single assay, delivering unparalleled efficiency and regulatory compliance. Ensuring the safety of infant formulas and related ingredients is a top priority for manufacturers worldwide. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA, EFSA, FSANZ, and SAMR mandate stringent testing protocols to prevent contamination by Salmonella and Cronobacter , two pathogens that pose serious health risks to infants. Traditionally, food safety laboratories performed separate tests for each pathogen, which increased costs and delayed results. Hygiena's foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit eliminates this inefficiency by detecting both pathogens in a single test, streamlining workflows and accelerating time-to-results for infant formula producers, ingredient suppliers and environmental monitoring programs. "At Hygiena, we are committed to delivering solutions that not only meet but exceed industry standards in food safety," said Steve Nason, CEO of Hygiena. "By introducing the foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit, we are providing manufacturers with a faster, more cost-effective and highly reliable testing method that ensures compliance and safeguards consumers. This is a significant step forward in our mission to create innovative diagnostics for a healthier world." The foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit is validated according to the ISO 16140-2 standard by AFNOR Certification. This validation ensures high accuracy across a range of matrices, including powdered infant formula (both with and without probiotics), related production ingredients and environmental samples from manufacturing facilities. Hygiena is offering the first-ever multiplex PCR method specifically designed to address the unique pathogenic challenges of the powdered infant formula industry. In response to evolving industry practices, this groundbreaking method has been validated for test portion sizes up to 375 grams, ensuring it meets the stringent needs of end-users while delivering robust and reliable results. The ISO 16140-2 performance metrics provide food safety teams with reliable, specific, sensitive, reproducible and regulatory-compliant pathogen detection results. Speed is crucial in food safety testing and the foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit delivers results in just 19 hours. Unlike alternative methods that require 18-20 hours of incubation for a single pathogen target, Hygiena's test reduces the enrichment time to 16 hours while detecting both Salmonella and Cronobacter simultaneously. This accelerated process enables manufacturers to reduce holding times, cut costs and minimize the risk of product recalls. Designed for ease of use, the foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit features a streamlined workflow that enhances stability with lyophilized reagents, reduces contamination risks and integrates seamlessly with existing laboratory systems such as the BAX ® System Q7. The simplified process requires minimal training, making it accessible to a broad range of laboratory personnel. The foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit joins Hygiena's comprehensive suite of ISO 16140-2 validated assays, including those for Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes , ensuring robust and reliable pathogen detection across various food matrices. Food protection is a non-negotiable priority, and our extensive validated portfolio provides manufacturers with reliable solutions that ensure compliance while protecting consumer health. We create innovative diagnostics for a healthier world Contact: For media inquiries, please email: Stephanie Köhrle, Communications & PR Manager at skoehrle@hygiena.com .

As a leader in AI security, Shane holds a relevant and high-demand skill set to support Keeper's innovative, future-facing growth. Shane spent nearly eleven years at the USCIS, where he served as Chief of the Cyber Intelligence Branch and Deputy CISO, prior to his CISO appointment. Before his official service with the USCIS, Shane worked with the organisation during his beginnings as a Federal security contractor. Shane holds two master's degrees and a bachelor's degree from the University of Vermont. "Shane brings tremendous knowledge and demonstrated expertise in AI and cybersecurity to the Keeper team, further bolstering our internal investment in security, controls and compliance," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder, Keeper Security.

Content Vault Launches: A New Standard in Media File Security
Tue, May 20, 2025 04:28 EDT
London, UK : Content Vault, a new patent-pending application offering robust protection for digital media, launches this week. Designed to give content creators and organisations full control over who can view their files, Content Vault uses device-specific AES-256 Bit encryption to safeguard valuable media against leaks, theft, and unauthorised access. Originally developed for the television, film, and entertainment industries, Content Vault ensures that encrypted files can only be viewed by the intended recipient on their registered device. Even if files are intercepted, copied, or shared beyond their authorised recipient, they remain inaccessible without the proper decryption key and application. The platform was created by media professionals with deep experience in high-profile productions. Having witnessed repeated security failures in traditional file-sharing methods, the founding partners developed Content Vault to address the need for a more secure, user-specific alternative. Recent cyberattacks - such as the MOVEit breach affecting over 80 million users, and the Rockstar Games leak exposing unreleased game footage - have highlighted the vulnerabilities in current systems. Content Vault responds to this growing threat by encrypting files to a specific device, never fully decrypting them unless permission is explicitly granted. Whilst media remains the primary focus, the team acknowledges that Content Vault has clear potential for broader use. Sectors such as healthcare, legal, and defence - all of which rely on secure handling of visual and audio data - may adopt the platform over time as new use cases emerge. "Content Vault was born out of real-world frustration," said Simon Ingram, co-founder of Content Vault. "We've spent years working in environments where leaked content can cost millions. We built this platform so all content owners can protect their valuable intellectual property from the moment it leaves their hands. We're already in discussions with UK resellers and partners who clearly recognise the value of what we've developed." To use the platform, the recipient installs the Content Vault application and shares their unique Content Vault Key (.cvk) with the sender. The sender then encrypts files, currently video, audio and image files, specifically for that user and their device, using the .cvk file they were sent. The encrypted files can be transferred via any method, but can only be opened using the Content Vault app on the intended recipient's registered device. This prevents unauthorised access even if the files are leaked, stolen, or shared without the owner's permission. Content Vault is available now for Windows and macOS. It integrates easily into existing workflows, giving studios, production teams, and independent creators a secure way to store and share valuable media files.

Sunsail offers seasoned sailors a new off-grid experience
Mon, May 19, 2025 12:53 EDT
Yacht charter company Sunsail launches a new off-grid style sailing itinerary for seasoned sailors who want to visit the beautiful sailing grounds of the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia. The new sailing itinerary, which is branded as " Off The Beaten Track ", will be available for bareboat charters from Sunsail 's base in the beautiful marina village of Agana, in Central Dalmatia. The itinerary is designed to offer experienced sailors who hold a minimum entry RYA Day Skipper and VHF qualifications an opportunity to enjoy a seven day off-grid adventure away from the well-travelled hotspots. In contrast to other itineraries from Sunsail , which has been sailing for more than 50 years, " Off The Beaten Track " is designed for experienced sailors who prefer the freedom of anchoring and want to avoid the added expense of mooring fees at marinas and town quays. Caroline Barbour, UK Marketing Manager for Sunsail , comments; "This suggested itinerary is one our most exciting yet. It mixes sightseeing in local towns, coves and sandy beaches with open sailing during the day. By night, mooring buoys and anchorage points will leave guests feeling like they are sleeping on the open water. "While this itinerary isn't suited for beginners, you do have the option to add a skipper who can handle the sailing for you. Alternatively, if you are considering a bareboat charter you need to know how to safely anchor for the night, and there is no electricity, water refill points, rubbish removal or refuel points in any of these spots, hence the name " Off The Beaten Track ". This itinerary is ideal for experienced sailors seeking more freedom and adventure, while still enjoying the peace of mind that comes with Sunsail 's local team and 4-Hour Commitment. "We can't wait to welcome guests to set sail and share their experience of freedom." This new itinerary gives participants the opportunity to sail Croatia's breathtaking coastline from the serene anchorage of Fumija Bay to the lively waterfront of Komiža Town, blending adventure, relaxation and hidden gems.
