  The last decade has seen an exponential increase in the development and adoption of language technologies, from personal assistants such as Siri and Alexa, through automatic translation, to chatbots like ChatGPT. Yet questions remain about what we stand to lose or gain when we rely on them in our everyday lives. As a non-native English speaker living in an English-speaking country, Vered Shwartz has experienced both amusing and frustrating moments using language technologies: from relying on inaccurate automatic translation, to failing to activate personal assistants with her foreign accent. English is the world's foremost go-to language for communication, and mastering it past the point of literal translation requires acquiring not only vocabulary and grammar rules, but also figurative language, cultural references, and nonverbal communication. Will language technologies aid us in the quest to master foreign languages and better understand one another, or will they make language learning obsolete?

  Why would anyone spend a large portion of their life in a world that doesn’t really exist, or with friends they have never met? Those are questions anyone considering online gaming should explore. It starts out innocently enough—with the excitement, unbelievable graphics, and unique storylines that suck you into a world which can rob you of time, self-esteem, health, and the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy.The sad truth is that there are millions upon millions of people just like you and me who fall down that rabbit hole. It’s a drug, an escape, a test of our fortitude—and it can replace reality to the point of a false existence. And yet, we do it over and over, and we love almost every minute.We, who are called humans, are easily sideswiped off the road of common sense into the dumpster of adventure. I, of all people, can point this out because I spent almost 22 years, and even now—after five years away—I am still going through withdrawals.This is what some call tough love.

  In Green Lewisham we are invited to explore the surprisingly numerous green spaces in the Borough of Lewisham in south east London. Rivers, trees, grassy glades and wildlife are round almost every corner, hidden between houses and alongside railway lines and all lying less than ten miles from Trafalgar Square in central London. We have a brief history behind the many calming and natural sites and the photographs tempt us to go walking every day, and at all times of the year, as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of the autumn. Discover herons and egrets, swans, and many, many species of birds as well as the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the centuries-old River Ravensbourne and its tributaries, or find stunning views of London from the hilltops. Lewisham is celebrated as the London Borough of Culture in 2022. Candy Blackham has given us a unique book which opens our eyes to appreciating and enjoying the natural, green spaces in this special year.
