Pseudoephedrine, a generic drug sold over the counter, is just as effective in treating hay fever as the prescription drug Singulair, a new study has found, and neither has significant side effects.
The study, partly financed by Merck, the maker of Singulair, appears in the February issue of The Archives of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery. Three of its authors are paid consultants to the drug company.
Researchers randomly divided 58 healthy adult hay fever sufferers into two groups. In daily doses over two weeks, the first took 10 milligrams of Singulair (montelukast sodium), while the second took 240 milligrams of pseudoephedrine (Sudafed 24 Hour). A 10-milligram Singulair pill sells for $3 on the Internet; 240 milligrams of pseudoephedrine costs 80 cents.
The researchers hypothesized that each drug would work well for nasal congestion, but that Singulair would also control runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezing. They thought that pseudoephedrine would have more unpleasant side effects.
But each drug proved effective for all four symptoms, and neither had significant side effects. The only difference was that pseudoephedrine appeared to be slightly better than Singulair at relieving nasal congestion.
Merck referred questions to Dr. Fuad Baroody, the lead author of the paper and an associate professor of otolaryngology and pediatrics at the University of Chicago. He cautioned that this was a small study and that the results might not be the same for everyone.Continue reading the main story
"If you still itch and sneeze with pseudoephedrine, or have any of the known side effects such as becoming nervous and wakeful, talk to your doctor," Dr. Baroody said. "There are other drugs you can be given that are very effective in improving allergy symptoms without undesirable side effects."Continue reading the main story

In the Appleton Area School District, American Education Week 2015 was a resounding success!
Throughout the week there was opportunities for student-run tours, family and cultural events, musical performances, and more. Our students and staff encouraged neighbors and the communities to check out their public schools, to engage with them in the classroom, to participate in roundtable discussions, and to celebrate the support for our public schools with an applause heard 'round the Valley!
It's easy to be enthusiastic and proud when you are in the public education environment every day. Take a look at the comments below from community members on their experiences in our first "Team Up with a Teacher" exercise
"Thank you for letting me co-teach with you this week at Appleton's Classical School! Your 4th graders are so smart, creative and enthusiastic. You are making an incredible impact on these young lives. I'm in awe of your relationship with these children and your command of the classroom. You've created a warm, nurturing yet disciplined learning environment. What an incredible asset you are to these kids, their families and the AASD.
It was fun doing the advertising activity we shaped together and I hope we get some future marketers out of the class! I didn't get nearly the reception back at the office that I did from your class. What a wonderful world you live in every day!"
-- Jean Van Den Brandt, Vice President - Marketing, Secura
"This morning, I visited a Life Skills class at North, taught jointly by Ginger Sturdivant and Kathy Devereaux. The class pairs intellectually challenged students with North seniors who take the class as an elective. I can certainly appreciate the dedication and patience of Ginger and Kathy as they worked through a lesson plan that would be considered basic for most, but was actually challenging for many of the students in this class.
It was an eye-opening and rewarding experience, and I'm glad to know that the AASD is working hard to improve the lives of those kids that need some special attention. Thanks for the opportunity!"
-- Jeffrey J. Werner, First Vice President - Investment Officer, Wells Fargo Advisors
"Recently, I was asked to speak at a life skills class at Appleton East High School. The class was made up of students with cognitive disabilities paired with students as mentors who may or may not have interest in the healthcare field.
My role for the day was to observe the class and then talk about being a leader. Being honest, I wondered how I could share this message with young men and women who had these unique challenges they faced every day. I think the lesson here ended up being all mine. I had my list prepared, but these students did the demonstrating."
Read more from Sharon Hulce, Community Columnist
Our Fox Valley community members weren't the only ones who saw the impact of both American Education Week and "Team Up with a Teacher"
"On behalf of myself and students, thank you for the opportunity to have a community member volunteer their time and efforts to work with my students. As always, I welcome anyone who wants to participate in the project and see why it is important to carry on for the future of the trades and homeowner education alike."
-- Marcus McGuire, AASD Technology Education Teacher & School Build Instructor
"We had a wonderful time with our community partner! She was very impressed by what she saw this morning, and commented throughout her time about the wonderful opportunities that the students had throughout the activity that we did together. When she talked with the students at the end, she reinforced the different skills that she observed and participated in with the students – working together, creating a mind map of a book students were reading, sharing out their learning, transitioning from one activity to the next – as skills needed as they grow and transition to the workplace. I enjoyed this opportunity, and hope that we can continue this activity in the years to come!"
-- Karen Hoppe, Grade 4 Teacher at Highlands

07 You Baby click to listen to this sweet song!
ring ring….as I answered the phone this afternoon at work. "Grandma, can I come over tonight!"
I rushed home tonight to greet our little sweetie! Oh, not here yet….good, I had a little time to let Savannah out and get his bagels and cream cheese away….just in case! Grandma always has to be prepared!
So, I just started up my computer to get some labels and things printed to happily ship my Etsy orders, when I hear Jaden upstairs! "GRANDMA! running down the stairs! "I have something for you!" So, he comes running in with a Ziploc bag full of "Gems" for me to make jewelry! (Talk about my heart just melting!) So I open the bag and dump the rocks out on my desk. The super smooth white ones, I found….Kyle, my friend found this one….little Jayden found this one! "I like all the white ones" , I said. "I found all those white ones Grandma!"
These are the things that make parenting the best thing ever! How cool is it when a little one not only thinks of you all on his own, but then has him and his friends go digging for "Gems & Stones" for his grandma to make jewelry! I would have loved to have been there to witness this! Imagine all these little guys running in the house to Mom! Muddy hands open, "Mom, we were digging for "Gems and Stones for Grandma for her to make jewelry! Real gems! She can sell 'em on Etsy! They're so HUGE, she'll probably be rich!"
Did I ever tell you how much Jaden loves Etsy, yep, he does! Every year he grows up so much! But, I remember when he would sit on my lap and we would browse Etsy! It inspired Jaden so much! In fact, I had an Open House at our home for my jewelry. Jaden was SO excited. So, I get a phone call the night before my Open House…."Grandma….could I have my own table to sell the ornaments that I am making?" Well I was so excited, "Yes, of course you could!" He was such a little salesmen! He did great! I think every person that came would have bought one…but he sold out before everyone could get one of their own!

LONDON--In a deal that adds firepower to Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox in its multibillion-dollar quest for Time Warner Inc., British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC has made its move to build "Sky Europe."
The U.K.'s market-leading pay-television operator Friday said it agreed to acquire its sister companies in Germany and Italy from 21st Century Fox in a deal worth about $9.09 billion, the majority in cash, to create a pan-European pay-TV giant with around 20 million customers across Germany, Italy, Austria, the U.K. and Ireland.
For Mr. Murdoch, the deal provides a bulk of cash as 21st Century Fox weighs advancing its $80 billion takeover bid for rival media titan Time Warner, which rejected Fox's first overture. Fox said it expects net after-tax proceeds of $7.2 billion from the BSkyB transactions, which analysts have called crucial to making the math on a Time Warner deal work.
Fox also moved Friday to reassure skittish investors who have sent its shares down more than 6% since news of the Time Warner offer broke last week, saying it would renew its share-buyback plan next month. The new buyback authorization "will be executed regardless of any potential acquisition or investment activity by the company," Mr. Murdoch said in a release.
BSkyB said it would buy 21st Century Fox's 57.4% stake in Sky Deutschland AG for GBP2.9 billion ($4.9 billion) in cash, valuing the German business at EUR6.75 a share. BSkyB is also offering EUR6.75 a share to Sky Deutschland's remaining minority shareholders, intending to take full ownership of the company, but it will almost certainly need to offer more: Sky Deutschland shares were up 1.8% to EUR6.78 in morning Frankfurt trading, suggesting holders expect a higher price from BSkyB.
BSkyB also will acquire Fox's 100% stake in the Italian TV company Sky Italia for GBP2.45 billion ($4.2 billion), GBP2.09 billion of which will be in cash.
The deal, also to be funded through new shares and debt, is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. While there are no clear regulatory hurdles, price may be an issue for shareholders on both sides. Fox is BSkyB's biggest shareholder, holding a 39.1% stake, and plans to invest $900 million to maintain its stake at that level. BSkyB's other shareholders will need to be convinced the stakes are adequately valued.
Shareholders seemed skeptical in early European trading. Besides the rise in Sky Deutschland shares, BSkyB shares were down 2.6% to 901 pence. Still, Numis Securities, in a note, said the combination has both financial and strategic rationale, with price and scale of synergies in line with expectations.
As part of the deal, BSkyB said it would transfer its 21% stake in the international National Geographic channels to Fox, at a value of GBP380 million. That would raise Fox's ownership stake in the cable and satellite channels to 73%.
21st Century Fox was until June 2013 part of the same company as News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires.
BSkyB said the new entity would be the No. 1 pay-TV provider in three of the four largest markets in Europe, helping the operator battle earnings erosion after spending heavily on technology upgrades, programming and premium sports-TV rights. BSkyB has 11.5 million TV customers, Sky Deutschland 3.7 million and Sky Italia 4.8 million. In total, "Sky Europe" will offer 47.5 million product subscriptions, more than 34 million of which come from BSkyB.
BSkyB Chief Executive Jeremy Darroch said shareholders have "understood the logic" of the deal, which is expected to close later this year.
Mr. Darroch said the enlarged business would offer commercial opportunity, benefits of scale and significant cost savings. "There remains significant opportunity to take up additional products across all businesses."
BSkyB said it expects GBP200 million of annual cost savings by the end of the second financial year after the deal is completed, with additional savings after that.
"We think the businesses in Italy and Germany are very high-quality," he told reporters. "This is the right deal for Sky at this stage of our development."
Asked if the "Sky Europe" deal would bolster Mr. Murdoch's bid to acquire Time Warner, Mr. Darroch said, "You'll have to ask him that."
Media executives are looking for cross-border heft in buying rights to show sports and entertainment, as well as developing content of their own, to lock in subscribers and drive up revenue. The drive is accelerating a consolidation boom. And the threat to pay-TV operators is intensifying across global convergence of TV and the Internet, such as from cable, rival online download platforms and from cheaper over-the-top streaming services, including from Netflix Inc.
"The trend in media right now is like that, and I don't expect that to change," Mr. Darroch said. "Media is an attractive business."
Separately, BSkyB Friday posted lower yearly profit as costs hit its earnings, even as demand for new products drove up revenue.
BSkyB's net profit in the fiscal year ended June 30 fell to GBP865 million from GBP979 million in the year-earlier period. Operating profit before exceptional items--a key metric of business performance--fell 5.3% to GBP1.26 billion from GBP1.33 billion.
Revenue rose 6.5% year-over-year to GBP7.61 billion, in line with forecasts.

Virtual Strategy Marketing first ran this story about TOWN Residential and their analysis of the end of 2015. TOWN Residential works in the residential and commercial markets as a seller and developer, and they publish their figures every year in their own magazine. This article explains what TOWN has gleaned from their own numbers, and there are implications for 2016 within the article.
#1: 2015 Ended Well
2015 was a banner year for apartments for sale in New York, but the numbers were so high that it seemed they would never stop rising. Investors were paying more and more over the course of the year, and anyone who was buying moved quickly to avoid the rising tide. TOWN watched as prices became stable at the end of the year, and they predict that prices will remain stable in 2016.
#2: Who Benefits From High Prices?
Developers and sellers like TOWN Residential made quite a lot of money in 2015 from rising prices, and sellers were able to sell their properties at a premium. Buyers were paying more for their properties as the year went on, but anyone who was willing to wait saw price stop rising at the end of 2015. The furious nature of the growth on the market caused a rush on many properties, and TOWN was hardly able to keep up.
#3: Will 2016 Be Different?
2016 will be a much different year from 2015. The high prices in New York will remain mostly stable, and buyers need not immediately move to purchase a property simply because its price could jump overnight. The uncertainty in the market has been replaced with stability at prices that are all-time highs. New York is a hotbed for development, and every seller or developer in the city will make just as much money in 2016 as they did in 2015.
TOWN Residential's analysis of the 2015 real estate market in New York shows that prices have finally stopped rising. A bit of inflation will cause minor price increases, but the frenetic price increases that happened in 2015 seem to have ceased.

By Rev. David Ramirez
Islam is one of the largest religions in the world and is often spoken about in the news media. What do Muslims teach about their faith and its relationship to the government? How does Christ teach differently about the roles of the church and the state? Let's start with some history to answer these questions:
Mohammed and Mecca
According to Muslims, Mohammed was born about 570 A.D. in the city of Mecca, an important trading center and caravan stop in the Arabian Peninsula. After being orphaned as a young child, he was raised by his uncle. At the age of 25, his fortune changed when he married a wealthy widow 15 years his senior With wealth came comfort and leisure. Mohammed would take time to meditate, often away from Mecca in the hills. On one of these trips in 610 A.D., he claimed that he had a vision of the angel Gabriel, who spoke to him the words of "Allah."1 Mohammed devoted the rest of his life to spreading the message and teachings of Allah, whom he believed was guiding and speaking to him.2
His early attempts to win followers in Mecca failed miserably. Most Arabs at this time were polytheists. Mecca was a center for idolatry and was made rich by the festivals and trade surrounding idols. Since Mohammed condemned polytheism, he came to be viewed as a nuisance by the Meccans—even his own tribe. Mohammed also tried to reach out to "the people of the book," as he called Christians and Jews. But they were unimpressed by his teachings.
Consequently, Mohammed relied on persuasion to gain followers and influence while his political strength was weak. He modeled, however, a very different approach when given the opportunity.
Medina and Conquest: Power and Conversion by the Sword
After struggling to gain converts in Mecca and increasingly looked down upon by the leaders of the town, Mohammed accepted an invitation to relocate to the nearby city of Medina. As a neutral outsider, he was asked to be an arbitrator between the competing tribes of Medina. With his newfound power and authority, Mohammed began to draw more followers to his religion. Once he had the ability and strength, he began conducting raids and attacks on caravans (with supposedly divine approval). After taking his own share, Mohammed distributed the loot and booty to his followers, which in turn drew more followers eager for riches.
Mohammed tightened his grip on Medina. He ruthlessly crushed opposition, supporting the assassination of his rivals and the murder of groups who challenged his authority. Eventually, Mohammed defeated even the Meccans in battle. The promise of riches and conquest enticed even former enemies to follow him. Before he died, Mohammed and the Muslims controlled not only Medina and Mecca, but all of the Arabian Peninsula.
After the death of Mohammed, the Muslims continued their wars of conquest. Those who were conquered faced a choice: 1. death; 2. conversion; or 3. submission to their new Muslim rulers that included a special tax for being non-Muslims.
Sharia Law
Where Muslims ruled, they sought to establish sharia law. Sharia law is a code of rules and regulations designed to inform every part of life. Sharia law has two sources: 1. the Quran, which contains the messages that Mohammed supposedly received from Allah; and 2. the "traditions" describing the life of Mohammed that his followers later collected. Muslims believe that sharia law is not just to be enforced among Muslims, but also around the entire world.
Muslims who take their faith seriously believe that it is their duty to support the spread of Islam. This includes more than just "Muslim evangelism." An essential part of spreading Islam is that sharia law is spread by political dominance. The example of Mohammed clearly teaches Muslims to say and do what is necessary to gain power, including an unrestrained use of the sword.
Two Kingdoms
A key difference between Islam and Christianity is that Islam does not recognize the distinction between church and state, or as Lutherans would put it, the two kingdoms.3
We believe that our Lord rules over all things, and that the government as well as the church is a way our Lord rules and blesses us. But we make a distinction between what God has called the government to do and what He has called the Church to do. He has given earthly government the duty to "bear the sword" and to "carry out God's wrath on the wrongdoer." (Romans 13:4 ESV) The government should uphold the "natural law" that all men know. (Romans 1-2) The civil government flows from the fundamental unit of society, the family, and the calling of fathers to rule over and protect their families.
On the other hand, our Lord teaches us that His kingdom of grace, that is His Church, is not of this world. He tells Pilate that, "If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world." (John 18:36 ESV) The Church is to be concerned with preaching Christ crucified. It is not to be leading armies, conquering nations, or getting wrapped up in politics.
The reason why Islam cannot recognize this distinction is because it rejects Jesus. There is no Gospel in Islam; it is a religion of law. Mohammed rejected the way to the Father because he rejected the beloved Son of the Father, offered up for us and for our salvation. Islam rejects the one and only true God, who actually descended, lived, died, and rose again—for us and for our salvation. Praise God for sending us the Truth, our Savior Jesus Christ, who still pours out forgiveness through His Church. May He help us be model citizens, resisting evil in the world while we wait for His return.
1 "Allah" is the Arabic word for God.
2 The essence of Islam is: "There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet."
3 This is not to say that we believe in an absolute separation between church and state like secularists do. For instance, sometimes the church must preach against what the state is doing.

Mobile operators and various telecom companies face various challenges in developing countries including lack of suitable infrastructure, political uncertainty, regulatory issues, difficult environments, vast and sparsely populated geographical areas to cover, unreliable energy supplies and poorer target groups among others.
However, ingenuity and perseverance can help overcome many of these challenges. In several countries, prepaid cards in small denominations sold in numerous mobile booths have given consumers affordable access to mobile telephony. Off-grid base stations in Asia, the Middle East and Africa are increasingly using green power solutions almost completely replacing dirty and expensive diesel. In East Africa, M-PESA and other mobile money systems have revolutionised the way money is transferred, making it possible for almost everybody to use basic banking services.
Developing countries are next in line for a data boom
Taking the next big step into the 'post-mobile data revolution' will bring many more challenges to developing countries, which to begin with, grapple with low data penetration and high prices.
Infrastructure is the biggest challenge with high quality, efficient data centres being the need of the hour. Data centres house and power all the equipment needed for transmission of data and are the heart and brain of any network. But traditional builds for data centres take a lot of time to plan, co-ordinate (with different suppliers) and construct.
Challenging environments also add a lot of risk to a data centre project, often resulting in delays and budget over-runs. Buildings for data centres are mostly not purpose-built to be used as technical facilities, often facing water leaks and other problems, as well as being over-dimensioned since they cannot be expanded quickly and easily.
Pre-fabricated modular data centres ideal for emerging markets networks
The solution is pre-fabricated modular data centres, which are quicker to deploy and will in most cases save considerable time and money compared to traditional brick and mortar buildings. The modular design will ensure the facility will always be the 'right' size since it can be expanded to suit changing needs. More efficient power and cooling will make a pre-fabricated data centre more cost-effective to run. Quality, budget and the time plan can more easily be ensured for pre-fabricated purpose built facilities, bringing predictability to the project.
A pre-fabricated solution also allows easy customisation to meet specific needs and can be deployed anywhere.
For instance, Vodacom in Mozambique (a subsidiary of Vodafone) recently decided to deploy a modular data centre (the eCentre) on top of a six-storey parking garage next to its corporate headquarters in central Maputo, the capital of this southeast African country.
The rooftop turnkey deployment is a 126m² open space data centre featuring a pre-fabricated build that met Vodacom's requirement to put the facility in place quickly, efficiently, and on time. The pre-fabricated build reduced the project risk significantly because the construction work was all done in ten weeks in a clean environment (in Sweden) and the installation work needed on site was completed in only eight days - all in a fraction of the time that would have been required to complete a similar brick and mortar project.
Speed and predictability in challenging environments are critical issues in Africa given that it is the fastest growing mobile market in the world and the take-off for data could be right around the corner. Pre-fabricated, modular and custom-designed data centres that can be deployed very quickly, and easily re-deployed if needed, offer yet another innovative solution to the African situation as well as in all developing countries in the world, enabling data centre owners such as internet service providers, hosting companies, mobile operators and banks to act quickly and confidently.

Yes, I'm concerned about bacteria spread by hand dryers, because hand dryers are in bathrooms where there are a lot of germs. A lot of people don't wash their hands properly after using the bathroom and it's very easy for these devices to get very dirty, fast. Most diseases are spread by human contact, so hand dryers are dangerous.
Honestly, I'm all about saving the environment, but I hate hand dryers for a lot of reasons. The risk of bacteria spread from hand dryers is the biggest reason. Public restrooms are not always the cleanest, and I wouldn't want to catch something just because I really needed to use the bathroom.
Not only are hot air blowers less efficient, taking much to long to dry a good percentage of your hands, almost a full minute, the constantly moist environment of a restroom, lends itself to the growth of bacteria in both the air intake and the air outlet nozzle. Studies have reported that when measuring bacteria on just washed hands, paper toweling and cotton continuous looping towels removed an average of 50% of bacteria on hands, while blowers increased bacteria left on hands by over 200%.
Why should I be concerned of bacteria spreading from a hand drier in a public restroom if I just washed my hands with soap. While not all people do wash their hands with soap, it is expected. Hand driers should not be a place of concern for people worried about bacteria.

The former King John student joined Seevic because of the variety of courses that they offered compared to other Colleges and Sixth Forms. Here is what Melissa had to say about her time at the College…
"I always knew that I wanted to work in aviation and Seevic was offering the course which could help me to get there. I liked the idea that at College there was more freedom than at a Sixth Form however still with all the help I would need.
"Without the constant help and support I would never have been able to achieve my final grade nor even manage to get an interview, let alone a job, in aviation.
"From the moment I joined the College to even now after I have left both of my Tutors regularly contact me to see how things are going and if there is anything they can help with. All the Tutors are very encouraging and even though we have all been through low points they manage to pick you right back up.
"Seevic helped me more than anything in getting my job. The course was fully suited to the role I was interested in, and the Tutors had previous experience where they were able to advise, prepare and encourage me. I knew everything I could about the job I was going for and there were no shockers when I began to work.
"The College even took us on a trip to an airline training ground to give us a real insight as to what would be involved.
"Not only did my Tutors help me with College work but they ensured I had a strong CV, cover letter and even helped with interview technique to give me an advantage in the recruitment process.
"Don't worry - College isn't all work! My favourite memory of Seevic was going on a trip to Paris where we had the chance to see the beautiful city, learn about the industry and even visit Disneyland Paris.
"To anyone thinking of coming to Seevic, it is a great stepping stone between school and either a first job or further education. You have more independence than you do at school and are treated like an adult. Seevic provide you with valuable life lessons along with responsibility but they will get you to where you want to be, just always remember what your end goal is!"

A Short Summary
Nora Helmer appears to live a charmed life. She has a husband who loves her, servants to care for the house, and friends who dote on her. Appearances are deceiving. Nora committed a crime. She illegally borrowed money to pay for a trip to Italy, a trip that saved her sick husband's life. Nora secretly worked for years to pay back the loan, and right before paying off the balance, she receives a visit from the man (Krogstad) who lent her the money, a man who coincidentally works for Nora's husband, a man who is soon to be fired by Nora's husband, a man who blackmails Nora so he can keep his job.
- slide 2 of 3
Literary Merit
Ibsen's A Doll's House has taken its place as one of literature's greatest plays. The following issues make it worthy of classroom discussion:
- The Role of Women: This is the overriding theme of the entire play. Students will be shocked to learn of the subservient role women played in the past. In Ibsen's A Doll's House, women were not allowed to own property or borrow money and were strongly discouraged to not work outside the home. A discussion of the women's rights movement may help students understand the context of the play.
- Economic Issues: The second leading cause of divorce in the United States is finances. Teach students how financial setbacks ruin lives. The following lives are ruined or nearly ruined because of financial setbacks: Mrs. Linde's husband dies, leaving her penniless and in desperate need of work, an excellent opportunity to explain the benefits of life insurance; Nora borrows money behind her husband's back (for his benefit), an excellent opportunity to discuss the importance of saving and investing; Krogstad blackmails Nora in order to maintain his position, a position he's about to lose because of previous dishonorable actions.
- Freedom: Philosophers, politicians, and revolutionaries have talked about freedom for centuries. It's a term thrown about casually. It's written about, sung about, and spoken about, but what does it really mean? This makes for a good definition essay and offers many possible thesis statements.
- slide 3 of 3
Doll House Analysis
Ibsen's A Doll House offers plentiful occasions for teaching and discussing the elements of literature:
- Characterization: As with real humans, Ibsen's characters are not always what they seem. In Act I, readers assume Torvald and Nora have a great relationship; that's not true. Krogstad appears to be evil and although he is guilty of various misdeeds, his intentions are to help his family.
- Irony: If you teach one literary device only, it should be irony. For example, Krogstad is ostracized by society for committing the same crime Nora, whose crime remains unknown, commits. Nora gets away with the crime and decides to confess it to her husband anyhow. Nora risks her freedom to save Torvald's life, yet he is angry with her. Torvald treats Nora like a little child, yet she is a strong, determined woman.
- Plot: Keeping track of who knows whom and whose paths crossed previously make the play an excellent example of an intertwining narrative and a good play for teaching flashback.
- Resolution: There is no resolution. The audience does not know what happens to Nora, nor is it clear whether or not she made the right decision.
- Symbolism: A discussion of the play's title makes for a great class discussion and the inspiration for an essay question.
- Teaching experience.

"We're always looking for a way to refresh the brand. It's all about the pictures and how teens use them," said Ronni LaCoste, group marketing manager for i-Zone. Polaroid also has teamed with Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys to promote the i-Zone.
The new sneakers-which will retail for $64.99 at Niketown, select Foot Locker stores and teen shoe store Journeys-are supported by a print ad from Bcom3 Group's Leo Burnett USA, Chicago, breaking in May teen magazines such as Primedia's Seventeen and Time Inc.'s Teen People. It's part of a larger TV and print campaign launching the i-Zone Convertible Instant Pocket Camera, which lets users change the camera's color with face plates.
Polaroid's marketing aim is to demonstrate "new, fun ways to enjoy the i-Zone camera and sticky film," said Polaroid's Director of Worldwide Advertising Randall Smith-whether it's launching a new camera or "providing a new way to experience and share the i-Zone with others, like the Pic shoe." The co-branded sneaker is one of four girl-targeted athletic shoes in Nike's new Runamok series, whose logo is the classic Nike swoosh in a flower petal. Polaroid saw Nike as a perfect partner based on "the relevance of that brand in terms of [teens'] lifestyle and the way they express themselves," Mr. Smith added.
Nike initiated the deal with Polaroid, said a representative for the footwear marketer, adding that co-branded deals such as this one "are very rare for us."
The companies also will introduce a co-branded shoe clip-available in special packages of i-Zone film-that allows teens to display photos on any shoes and will sponsor the "Best Friend Search" with Seventeen (winning teens get their pictures in the magazine). Girls can enter through Seventeen or at Journeys, a new distribution outlet for i-Zone.

Series: The Marine Fish Families Series
By: Helmut Debelius(Author), Hiroyuki Tanaka(Author), Rudie H Kuiter(Author)
208 pages, colour photos
Amongst reef-fishes, few could compete with the beauty of angelfishes. The 'bill-board' appearance of the large species may surprise an encountering diver and arouse some curiosity when a loud bongo-like sound hits them. Angelfishes can be found on all tropical reefs, but usually occur in small numbers. Many species remain small in size, around the 10 cm mark, and combined with their beauty, and often rarity, are sought after in the aquarium trade. At present 8 genera and at least 88 species are known, some still undescribed, and all are included here with colour photographs. Even those species that live in deep water are presented here in living colour. In addition, many new colour morphs are shown.
