LISTENING. UNIT 3. 
TEXT

Ralph: Hello?

Paula: Ralph, it’s Paula.

- Hi

- You know I told you we could apply to the local council for money for our drama club…I’ve got the application form here but we need to get it back to them by the end of the week. I could send it on to you-you really ought to fill it in as president of the club-but I don’t know if it’ll get to you in time.

- Well, you’re the secretary, so I expect it’s OK if you fill it in.

- Yeah…but I’d really like to check it together.

- Right. That’s fine.

- Like the first part asks for the main contact person-can I put you there?

- Sure.

- Right. So that’s Ralph Pearson..and then I need your contact address, so that’s 203 South Road, isn’t it?

- No, 230…

- Sorry, I always get that wrong…Then it’s Drayton…do you think they need a postcode?

- Better put it-it’s DR6 8AB

- Hmm mmm, OK…telephone number, that’s 01453586098 isn’t it?

- Yes

- Right. Now, in the part of the form I have to give information about our group… so, name of group, that’s easy, we’re the Community Youth Theatre Group, but then I have to describe it. So, what sort of information do you think they want?

- Well, they need to know we’re amateurs, not professional actors… and how many members we’ve got

-what’s that at present – twenty?

- Eighteen … and, should we put in the age range, that’s 13 to 22?

- No, I don’t think we need to. But we’d better put a bit about what we actually do… something like ‘ members take part in drama activities’.

- Activities and workshops?

- Ok.

- Right. That’s all for that section I think.

…

- Now, the next bit is about the project itself – what we’re applying for funding for. So first of all they need to know how much money we want. The maximum is £500.

- I think we agreed we’d ask for £250, didn’t we?

- OK. There is no point in asking for too much – we’ll have less chance of getting it. Then, we need to say what the project … erm, the activity is.

- Right – so we could write something like ‘to produce a short play for young children’.

- Should we say it’s interactive? 

- Yes, good idea…

- Right … I’ve got that. Then we have to say what we actually need the money for…

- Isn’t that it?

- No, we have to give a breakdown of details, I think.

- Well, there’s the scenery.

- But we’re making that.

- We need to buy the materials, though.

- OK. Then there’s the costumes.

- Right. That’s going to be at least £50.

- OK. And what else … oh, I just found out we have to have insurance … I don’t think it’ll cost mach, but we need to get it organized.

- Yes … I’d forgotten about that , and we could be breaking the law if we don’t have it. Good think we have already got curtains in the hall, at least we don’t have to worry about that.

- Mmm. We’ll need some money for publicity 

-otherwise no one will know what we’re doing.

- And then a bit of money for unexpected things that come up – just put “sundries” at the end of the list.

- OK, fine. Now the next thing they want to know is if they give us the grant, how they’ll be credited.

- What do they mean, credited?

- I think they mean how we’ll let the public know that they funded us…they want people to know they’ve supported us, it looks good for them.

- Mmm., Well, we could say we’d announce it at the end of the play. We could make a speech or something.

- Hmm, they might prefer to see something in writing…we’ll be giving the audience a programme, won’t we-so we could put an acknowledgement in that?

- Yeah, that’s a better idea.

- OK. And the last thing they want to know is if we’ve approached any other organizations for funding, and what the outcome was.

- Well, only National Youth Services…and they said that at present funds were not available for arts projects.

- Right, I’ll put that…and then I think that’s it. I’ll get that in the post straight away…I really hope we get the money.

- I think we’ve got the pretty good chance…hope so anyway. Thanks for doing all this, Paula.

- That’s OK…See you soon…Bye.

- Bye

IoT Predictions, Trends, and Market

BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, expects there will be more than 24 billion IoT devices on Earth by 2020. That's approximately four devices for every human being on the planet.

And as we approach that point, $6 billion will flow into IoT solutions, including application development, device hardware, system integration, data storage, security, and connectivity. But that will be money well spent, as those investments will generate $13 trillion by 2025.

Who will reap these benefits? There are three major entities that will use IoT ecosystems: consumers, governments, and businesses.

IoT Industries

Several environments within the three groups of consumers, governments, and ecosystems will benefit from the IoT. These include:

Manufacturing	Transportation	Defense	Agriculture
Infrastructure	Retail	Logistics	Banks
Oil, gas, and mining	Insurance	Connected Home	Food Services
Utilities	Hospitality	Healthcare	Smart Buildings

IoT Platforms

One IoT device connects to another to transmit information using Internet transfer protocols. IoT platforms serve as the bridge between the devices' sensors and the data networks.  The following are some of the top IoT platforms on the market today: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, ThingWorx IoT Platform, IBM's Watson, Cisco IoT Cloud Connect, Salesforce IoT Cloud, Oracle Integrated Cloud and GE Predix.

IoT Security & Privacy

As devices become more connected thanks to the IoT, security and privacy have become the primary concern among consumers and businesses. In fact, the protection of sensitive data ranked as the top concern (at 36% of those polled) among enterprises, according to the 2016 Vormetric Data Threat Report.

Cyber attacks are also a growing threat as more connected devices pop up around the globe. Hackers could penetrate connected cars, critical infrastructure, and even people's homes. As a result, several tech companies are focusing on cyber security in order to secure the privacy and safety of all this data.

Text to use: Top 10 Technology Trends.

Text to use:  Top 10 Technology Trends.  

Trend No. 1: The Device Mesh

The device mesh moves beyond the traditional desktop computer and mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) to encompass the full range of endpoints with which humans might interact. As the device mesh evolves, Gartner expects connection models to expand and greater cooperative interaction between devices to emerge. We will see significant development in wearables and augmented reality, especially in virtual reality.

Trend No. 2: Ambient User Experience

All of our digital interactions can become synchronized into a continuous and ambient digital experience that preserves our experience across traditional boundaries of devices, time and space. The experience blends physical, virtual and electronic environments, and uses real-time contextual information as the ambient environment changes or as the user moves from one place to another.

Organizations will need to consider their customers' behavior journeys to shift the focus on design from discrete apps to the entire mesh of products and services involved in the user experience.

Trend No. 3: 3D-Printing Materials

We'll see continued advances in 3D printing with a wide range of materials, including advanced nickel alloys, carbon fiber, glass, conductive ink, electronics, pharmaceuticals and biological materials for practical applications expanding into aerospace, medical, automotive, energy and the military.

Recent advances make it possible to mix multiple materials together with traditional 3D printing in one build. This could be useful for field operations or repairs when a specific tool is required and printed on demand. Biological 3D printing — such as the printing of skin and organs — is progressing from theory to reality; however, politicians and the public don't have a full understanding of the implications.

Trend No. 4: Information of Everything

Everything surrounding us in the digital mesh is producing, using and communicating with virtually unmeasurable amounts of information. Organizations must learn how to identify what information provides strategic value, how to access data from different sources, and explore how algorithms leverage Information of Everything to fuel new business designs.

Trend No. 5: Advanced Machine Learning

Advanced machine learning is what makes smart machines appear "intelligent" by enabling them to both understand concepts in the environment, and also to learn. Through machine learning a smart machine can change its future behavior. This area is evolving quickly, and organizations must assess how they can apply these technologies to gain competitive advantage.

Trend No. 6: Autonomous Agents and Things

Advanced machine learning gives rise to a spectrum of smart machine implementations — including robots, autonomous vehicles, virtual personal assistants (VPAs) and smart advisors — that act in an autonomous (or at least semiautonomous) manner. This feeds into the ambient user experience in which an autonomous agent becomes the main user interface. Instead of interacting with menus, forms and buttons on a smartphone, the user speaks to an app, which is really an intelligent agent.

Trend No. 7: Adaptive Security Architecture

The complexities of digital business and the algorithmic economy, combined with an emerging "hacker industry," significantly increase the threat surface for an organization. IT leaders must focus on detecting and responding to threats, as well as more traditional blocking and other measures to prevent attacks.

Trend No. 8: Advanced System Architecture

The digital mesh and smart machines require intense computing architecture demands to make them viable for organizations. They'll get this added boost from ultra-efficient-neuromorphic architectures. Systems built on graphics processing units (GPUs) and field-programmable gate-arrays (FPGAs) will function more like human brains that are particularly suited tos be applied to deep learning and other pattern-matching algorithms that smart machines use. FPGA-based architecture will allow distribution with less power into the tiniest Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints, such as homes, cars, wristwatches and even human beings.

Trend No. 9: Mesh App and Service Architecture

The mesh app and service architecture are what enable delivery of apps and services to the flexible and dynamic environment of the digital mesh. This architecture will serve users' requirements as they vary over time. It brings together the many information sources, devices, apps, services and microservices into a flexible architecture in which apps extend across multiple endpoint devices and can coordinate with one another to produce a continuous digital experience.

Trend No. 10: Internet of Things Architecture and Platforms

IoT platforms exist behind the mesh app and service architecture. The technologies and standards in the IoT platform form a base set of capabilities for communicating, controlling, managing and securing endpoints in the IoT. The platforms aggregate data from endpoints behind the scenes from an architectural and a technology standpoint to make the IoT a reality.

CV, Application

CV

A curriculum vitae (CV or vita) is a written overview of a person's experience and other qualifications for a job opportunity. In some countries, a CV is typically the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview.  CVs may also be requested for applicants to postsecondary programs, scholarships, grants and bursaries.

THE APPLICATION FORM

This is a printed (online) form requesting all sorts of information from you, ranging from straightforward biographical details,  work  experience, education, special awards and achievements to paragraphs describing your personal development, including such things as your career goals and aspirations, your successes and failures in life and what you have learned from them, and your personality. It is important to take time to prepare adequately for the task of filling in an application form. Let the application form be a convincing commercial for you. Remember that these forms are designed and used to screen you out rather than in, so you need to put much thought and research into answering each question.
