For years language teachers have been trying to come up with new ways to transfer knowledge to their students, not only with basic teaching techniques but also by using various teaching aids. As the technology progressed so did the need for the implementation of modern teaching aids in classrooms all around the world. Most of us remember the blackboard and chalk, and even overhead projectors, but nowadays it's the computers, digital projectors and internet that we have at our disposal.
If a teacher succeeds in merging old teaching techniques with the new technology, they can almost guarantee a fun and interesting classroom. For example, pair the listening task with a visual one - this method is great with young children, instead of just listening to the text, they get to watch what is going on on a screen. It can be in form of a film, an animation or plain pictures. In this way their attention is more focused and at the same time, paired picture and sound helps them memorize the lesson better. This makes the whole experience more entertaining, without losing the educational value, while at the same time leaving very little room for distractions during class.
Another good example is combining writing with visual materials. As we all know one of the main parts of all language exams is different types of writing tasks, for example articles, reviews, formal and informal letters etc. Why not instead of giving them a task of writing a film review just give them a film to review, right there in class thus helping them focus faster and spend less time thinking about the given topic. There is an abundance of very interesting and educational short films online, they take up about five to ten minutes of your class and at the same time give your students some fresh ideas. What makes this a great technique is that not every student is going to like the film, so the diversity of reviews will be a great way to start up a discussion. This method can be applied not only to writing reviews but also articles, you can show a documentary and ask them to express their feelings about it. These are just some ideas how to pair writing task with visual aids, it opens up an opportunity to mix and combine ideas and at the same time keep your students focused and interested, but most of all involved in the class.
If we take into consideration that even children aged 3 and younger have been exposed to internet, and the different games available on and offline, we can safely assume that they have been exposed to language that is not their native and have been acquiring it at the speed of light in order to excel at the game they are playing. This makes a foreign language teacher's job a lot easier. So, by simply directing young learners' attention to appropriate games that are both fun and educational, they can give them an opportunity to learn as well as play. Thus using the modern technology to their advantage and at the same time keeping the students entertained and letting them do what they love. The only danger with this method might be the angry parents, who dislike their children spending so much time on the computer. Sadly, the truth is that the child who wants to play online games will do so no matter what, so why then not point them in the right direction, while at the same time explaining to the parents that it is not your goal to get them to spend more time on the computer, but actually to use the time that they are already spending on it more constructively.
More often than not there is a fun educational CD accompanying the course book especially on elementary levels, and it contains materials for all of the above listed techniques, both visual and audio exercises together with games and stories. What it does not contain is a teacher, meaning that instead of just mentioning to students to check out the CD, a teacher should do it together with them in class. A good example is creating a tournament in puzzle word, or other similar games, or doing a song competition. In this way the students will be more motivated to play the CD at home, to prepare for classes and at the same time learn.
On the other hand, an opinion exists that all these new and modern language teaching methods actually subtract from a student-teacher relationship, making them estranged and lacking in, so to say, a human touch. The fact of the matter is that it all depends on the teacher and the teacher's approach to using these techniques. There is no dispute that the new techniques implemented in language teaching can bring more benefit than harm when used properly, but there is also a possibility of teachers misusing them. The use of all these techniques needs to be carefully planned by the teacher, used at the right time for the right purpose in order for them to be effective and not boring for the students.
To conclude, language teaching techniques have drastically changed in order to follow the modern technological trends. Modern technology, when used properly, can make a language teacher's job much easier, and language learning much more fun for students, but it is important to remember to find the right balance between old teaching techniques and the implementation of new ones while using all the available teaching aids that the technology has brought.

Last night, my favorite go-to West Village restaurant, Bobo, (owned by Carlos Suarez), was the setting of a dinner for some of the more fashion-forward New Yorkers in the city. It was for Elise Overland and the threeASFOUR fashion company and was hosted by the Villency Emerging Fashion Program, which was founded by Eric Villency and Sabine Heller in 2007 to encourage and support up and coming talent which has included: Proenza Schouler, Derek Lam, Imitation of Christ, Ruffian, Sari Gueron and Katy Rodriguez.
More story and photos below:
Cocktails started at 7:30pm when Voguettes Meredith Melling Burke and Stephanie LaCava dropped in to congratulate the designers being celebrated on the second floor of the downtown hotspot. Fashion 'It'girls Maggie Betts and Jessica Joffe (in a darling pink multi- tiered mini skirt by her designer gal-pal Katy Rodriguez) chatted baby names with Ferebee Bishop Taube who is expecting twin boys this Spring. At the same dinner table, Zani Gugelman and Byrdie Bell shared ahi tuna and chocolate toffee cake under the tented roof strung with stuffed birds and exotic animals. In the main candlelit dining room, host Eric Villency held court at a long table filled with media heavyweights including ABC's Gigi Stone, FOX News' Kimberly Guilefoyle Villency, Page Six's Richard Johnson and Brant Publications Editorial Director Glenn O'Brien. The threeASFOUR gang, Adi, Ange and Gabi, entertained wild child guests Arden Wohl and Melissa Bent while Poppy deVillenueve congratulated fellow filmmaker Chiara Clemente on her documentary 'Our City Dreams' upcoming debut at Film Forum cinema.
Artist Tom Sachs chatted up everyone's favorite rock-star mum Ann Dexter-Jones (mother of Mark, Charlotte and Sam Ronson) in the tented terrace room while next door, sculptor Hope Atherton showed off her black stingray Cecelia clutch to branding babe Kate Schelter, who showed off her favorite accessories - her oversized House of Lavande earrings.
Handbag and shoe designer Lily Raffi broke her recent good news to stylist friends Frances Tulk-Hart and Natasha Royt that her label Felix Rey will launch a highly coveted diffusion line at Target in April. PR powerhouse Serena Merriman and Domino's fashion director (and stylist) Lauren Goodman chatted about their client John Patrick Organic, the CFDA-nominated label whose New York Fashion Week presentation they sexing up. Sabine Heller was overheard telling Serena that she is considering JohnPatrickOrganic as a candidate for next season's Villency Emerging Fashion Program.

SANDIA PUEBLO, N.M. (AP) — Federal and tribal politics and bureaucracy remain some of the reasons energy development has been so difficult in Indian Country, American Indian leaders said Tuesday.
Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly, National Congress of American Indians President Jefferson Keel and others opened a three-day conference with a round-table discussion about the hurdles of developing natural resources, from oil and natural gas to renewable sources.
Shelly said his tribe is working on modernizing its energy and environmental codes to better position itself for new development opportunities.
"So many years, we've been talking," Shelly said. "I'm getting old. Let's get it done."
He urged tribal leaders to band together and take advantage of the opportunities they have to bring in revenue, create jobs and become energy independent.
On the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, unemployment tops 60 percent and some families are still without electricity and running water. Shelly said he doesn't have time to wait for some other state or federal agency to find a solution.
Tribal leaders have been asking for years for the federal government to streamline permitting processes and curb oversight to address the issue. It was Keel who urged Congress last year to pass legislation to expand leasing reform and create an Indian energy self-determination law.
Experts said Tuesday that tribal lands make up about 5 percent of the land mass in the U.S. but contain as much as one-fifth of the nation's energy resources.
In North Dakota, the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation is in the middle of one of the biggest oil and gas booms in decades. More than 800 wells have been drilled on tribal land, 30 rigs are operating there, and more than 16,000 semi-trucks are keeping the roads busy as part of the development.
Tribal Chairman Tex Hall said the tribe developed its own codes to balance development with environmental protections. He said those codes will continue to change as technology drives development.
Keel said one of the other focuses is protecting tribal sovereignty.
"Tribal governments have an important role in not only developing those resources but protecting the cultural resources, our sacred sites, all of those things that are important to Indian people and our way of life, not to mention raising the quality of life of our people," he said.

COBO acts to bring optics closer to the chip
The formation of the Consortium for On-Board Optics (COBO) highlights how, despite engineers putting high-speed optics into smaller and smaller pluggable modules, further progress in interface compactness is needed.
The goal of COBO, announced at the OFC 2015 show and backed by such companies as Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Finisar and Intel, is to develop a technology roadmap and common specifications for on-board optics to ensure interoperability.
"The Microsoft initiative is looking at the next wave of innovation as it relates to bringing optics closer to the CPU," says Saeid Aramideh, co-founder and chief marketing and sales officer for start-up Ranovus, one of the founding members of COBO. "There are tremendous benefits for such an architecture in terms of reducing power dissipation and increasing the front panel density."

As Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton steps down from her job Friday, many are assuming she will run for president. And she may. In fact, five of the first eight presidents first served their predecessors as secretary of state.
It hasn't happened in more than a century, though that may change should Clinton decide to run. After all, she has been a game changer her entire life.
But before we look ahead, I think we should appreciate what she's done as secretary of state; it's a high profile, high pressure job. You have to deal with the routine as if it is critical and with crisis as if it's routine. You have to manage egos, protocols, customs and Congress. You have to be rhetorical and blunt, diplomatic and direct.
As secretary of state you are dealing with heads of state and with we the people. And the president of the United States has to trust you — implicitly.
Of all Clinton's accomplishments — and I will mention just a few — this may be the most underappreciated. During the election, pundits were puzzled and amazed not only at how much energy former President Bill Clinton poured into Obama's campaign, but even more at how genuine and close the friendship was.
Obama was given a lot of well-deserved credit for reaching out to the Clintons by appointing then-Sen. Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state in the first place. But trust is a two-way street and has to be earned. We should not underestimate or forget how much Clinton did and how hard she worked. She deserved that trust, as she deserved to be in the war room when Osama bin Laden was killed.
By the way, is there any other leader in the last 50 years whom we routinely refer to by a first name, and do so more out of respect than familiarity? The last person I can think of was Ike — the elder family member who we revere with affection. Hillary is Hillary.
It's not surprising that we feel we know her. She has been part of our public life for more than 20 years. She's been a model of dignity, diplomacy, empathy and toughness. She also has done something no other secretary of state has done — including the two women who preceded her in the Cabinet post.
Hillary has transformed our understanding — no, our definition — of foreign affairs. Diplomacy is no longer just the skill of managing relations with other countries. The big issues — war and peace, terror, economic stability, etc. — remain, and she has handled them with firmness and authority, with poise and confidence, and with good will, when appropriate.
But it is not the praise of diplomats or dictators that will be her legacy. She dealt with plenipotentiaries, but her focus was on people. Foreign affairs isn't just about treaties, she taught us, it's about the suffering and aspirations of those affected by the treaties, made or unmade.
Most of all, diplomacy should refocus attention on the powerless.
Of course, Hillary wasn't the first secretary of state to advocate for human rights or use the post to raise awareness of abuses or negotiate humanitarian relief or pressure oppressors. But she was the first to focus on empowerment, particularly of women and girls.
She created the first Office of Global Women's Issues. That office fought to highlight the plight of women around the world. Rape of women has been a weapon of war for centuries. Though civilized countries condemn it, the fight against it has in a sense only really begun.
The office has worked to hold governments accountable for the systematic oppression of girls and women and fought for their education in emerging countries. As Hillary said when the office was established: "When the Security Council passed Resolution 1325, we tried to make a very clear statement, that women are still largely shut out of the negotiations that seek to end conflicts, even though women and children are the primary victims of 21st century conflict."
Hillary also included the United States in the Trafficking in Person report. Human Trafficking, a form of modern, mainly sexual, slavery, victimizes mostly women and girls. The annual report reviews the state of global efforts to eliminate the practice. "We believe it is important to keep the spotlight on ourselves," she said. "Human trafficking is not someone else's problem. Involuntary servitude is not something we can ignore or hope doesn't exist in our own communities."
She also created the office of Global Partnerships. And there is much more.
She has held her own in palaces and held the hands of hungry children in mud-hut villages, pursuing an agenda that empowers women, children, the poor and helpless.
We shouldn't have been surprised. Her book "It Takes a Village" focused on the impact that those outside the family have, for better or worse, on a child's well-being.
As secretary of state, she did all she could to make sure our impact as a nation would be for the better.

Peter and I are on the board of DoCoMoMo-Oregon and were invited to present the same topic at DoCoMoMo-US's National Symposium in Sarasota earlier this year. The Modernism conservation group is beginning to grapple with the issue of Postmodernism and we tried to highlight some of the major issues while maintaining a fairly lighthearted approach. In Florida we only had 20 minutes to present our cases, and this time we had over an hour, and we had a lively and engaged audience who brought their own perspectives to the discussion.

Via Michelle Malkin, French philosopher Jean Francois Revel has died at the age of 82. Revel was perhaps the most pro-America author in France, and his 2002 Anti-Americanism is one of the greatest works ever on European anti-Americanism, as well as a defense of America. He will certainly be missed. One of my early blog postings was on this book.

What to Do About DarfurSunday, April 30th, 2006
I'm really not sure what should be done about the situation in Sudan. Genocide has been happening there for years, killing an estimated 200,000-400,000 people, but no one with any authority really seems to care. Today, a demonstration was held in Washington to urge the Bush Administration to take stronger measures to alleviate the murder in the country.
But the question is, what can be done? Negotiations with the Sudanese regime will likely go nowhere. Economic pressures and sanctions are useless.
The only way to stop the killing is through military action. Ideally, the UN would intervene, since genocide is automatically supposed to trigger action according to the UN Charter. But the UN, or at least most of the wealthy member nations, don't care about the deaths in Sudan. The UN was forced to cut food aid to the region due to lack of donations from member states, particularly in Europe, where Italy was the only major European country to contribute.
So with no help from the UN and little concern from Europe, who are we left with? The United States, of course. We have shown some interest in the situation, donating $188 million to feed the starving residents of Sudan. Yet this doesn't stop mass murder; only military action can accomplish this. Given that so many of our troops are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan (not to mention rising tensions with Iran), and the potential for a bloody occupation after the initial invasion, is military action wise? I don't know.
Obviously, Bush needs to make a stronger case against the genocide in Sudan, and try harder to convince the UN and Europe to work towards ending it. Ultimately though, military action may be the only solution. Are we prepared to invade? This is a question I don't have an answer for, although given Sudan's clear terror ties, it would not be completely outside of our interests to do so.

Sensible Immigration PolicyFriday, April 28th, 2006
Rasmussen goes on to note that his polling actually shows Americans in favor of a generous immigration policy coupled with a desire for enforcement of the laws and the security of the border…in other words, the American people (though they don't know it) are precisely where President Bush is on the issue. Once again, it is GW who has figured out what is the right thing to do…but we've also got a lot of really bad politics preventing something as rational as Bush's plan (increased security plus guest-workers) from happening.
A combination of cowardice and demagoguery on both sides of the political aisle is preventing rationality…Democrats want to harm the GOP over border security, but they also want to pander to hispanics; GOPers want to increase border security, but are afraid that this will alienate hispancs…caught in the crossfire and suffering the most are those Americans who have to pay for the illegal immigrants, and the illegal immigrants who are legally neither fish nor fowl and thus can't be properly integrated into Americans society, nor booted out if that is what everyone really wants.

Atlas Shrugged Coming to Big Screen?Thursday, April 27th, 2006
I've always wondered why Hollywood hasn't tried to cash in on Ayn Rand's 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged. I figured it might have had something to do with politics. But now, it looks like the movie may happen:
Ayn Rand's most ambitious novel may finally be brought to the bigscreen after years of false starts.
Lionsgate has picked up worldwide distribution rights to "Atlas Shrugged" from Howard and Karen Baldwin ("Ray"), who will produce with John Aglialoro.
As for stars, book provides an ideal role for an actress in lead character Dagny Taggart, so it's not a stretch to assume Rand enthusiast Angelina Jolie. Angelina Jolie's name has been brought up. Brad Pitt, also a fan, is rumored to be among the names suggested for lead male character John Galt.
Should be interesting.

The ongoing economic crisis already has inspired its share of cinematic forays: the documentary indictment"Inside Job,"for instance, and the dramas"Margin Call"and"The Company Men,"which consider the meltdown from the perspectives, respectively, of the perpetrators and the downsized.
But no movie on the subject has combined populist outrage, social critique and entertainment value with as much flair as Hong Kong director Johnnie To's "Life Without Principle" (2011), new to DVD andBlu-ray from Indomina Releasing.
It's no surprise that To, one of the most prolific director-producers in Hong Kong genre cinema, would be up to the task of tackling the crisis head on. The quick pace of Hong Kong production allows for a certain up-to-the-minute responsiveness (details of the 2010 Greek debt crisis and European Union bailout flicker past on television screens in "Life Without Principle").
Even in his action films about the criminal underworld ("Election" and "Election 2" being perhaps the best known), To often had a sharp eye for the motivating forces of greed and materialism. And Hong Kong, as a former British colony and longtime business capital of Asia now locked in a complicated relationship with an ever more capitalist mainland China, makes for an interesting vantage point from which to observe the ripple effects of international financial markets on day-to-day life.

Bangalore: Lahore Lions, who have just managed two points from a rained-off game, will be looking for a big win and the arithmetic to go in their favour to book their Oppo Champions League T20 semi-final spot when they take on Dolphins in a Group A match, here on Saturday.
With reigning IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders already in the final-four, Chennai Super Kings and Perth Scorchers will fight it out as the second team from this group to enter the semi-final and that leaves little room for Lahore as a winless Dolphins are all but out of the race.
But the Muhammad Hafeez-led side will have not only have to rely on a big win against the South African side but will also have to see the outcome of the other matches to create a mathematical chance for themselves.
Lions entered the main draw of the tournament following two wins in three matches they played in the Qualifying Group. They thrashed Mumbai Indians by six wickets with eight balls remaining in the match on September 13.
Lahore's Saad Nasim, Hafeez, Ahmed Shezad and Umar Akmal have been impressive with the bat. They struck 59 and 40 respectively in the match against Kolkata.
Akmal had also impressed in the game against Mumbai Indians in the qualifying round. Hafeez has also been striking well with the bat, scoring a superb 67-run knock in the match against Southern Express.
Lahore bowlers Aizaz Cheema, Wahab Riaz and Imran Ali have been successful in the qualifying matches.
But the team will need to put up a very strong all-round performance to make it difficult for the seasoned Chennai side.
Dolphins, on the flipside, would like to upset Lahore in tomorrow's game, which will give CSK and Scorchers a clear chance of a two-way battle.
Dolphins are a team made of many little-known faces, except for Kyle Abbot and skipper Morne van Wyk.
The South African side has players such as Craig Alexander, Cody Chetty, Cameron Delport and Keshav Maharaj, who are not big names in world cricket and they would surely like to leave an impression.
However, the weather forecast for Bengaluru is not good. There are chances of thunderstorms and rain during the match, which will keep both captains worried ahead of this encounter.

Washington: The man who shot a former US congresswoman in the head during a rampage that left six people dead and 13 wounded has been sentenced to a life term.
Jared Lee Loughner`s sentencing was preceded by emotional testimony from victims and their families who confronted him for the first time since the January 2011 shooting in the state of Arizona.
One of his victims, former US Representative Gabrielle Giffords, watched as her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly made an impassioned statement on her behalf that was directed at Loughner.
"Loughner, you may have put a bullet through her head, but you have not put a dent in her spirit. Gabby and I are done thinking about you," Kelly said.
"You sought to extinguish the beauty of life," he added. "You tried to create for us a world as dark and evil as your own. Know this and remember it always: You failed."
Loughner, 24, chose not to speak at the hearing, after pleading guilty three months ago to 19 federal charges under an agreement that guaranteed he would not be executed and would spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Loughner, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been on medication since the shootings, was ruled mentally competent to plead guilty.
Other victims scolded Loughner in court, "We`ve been told about your demons, about the illness that skewed your thinking," said Susan Hileman, who was shot three times. "Your parents, your schools, your community, they all failed you."
In January 2011, Loughner opened fire at a public event in Tucson, Arizona that was being hosted by Giffords, then a member of the US House of Representatives. He was armed with a loaded pistol and 60 rounds of extra ammunition.
In less than 30 seconds Loughner fired 31 shots and stopped shooting only when he paused to reload his gun. He was eventually tackled and restrained by onlookers.
Giffords, 42, was gravely wounded after being shot in the head. She was initially in a coma, but has since made a remarkable recovery through physical and speech therapy. With limited ability, she can walk and talk.
Giffords formally resigned from Congress at the beginning of this year.
In September, she delivered the US Pledge of Allegiance at the Democratic National Convention that nominated Barack Obama for his second term as President.

The Atomic Submarine (1959)

Fun classic "B" picture, a very entertaining sci-fi monster movie from the 1950's, the low budget makes it more entertaining. The special effects are not very good, but I have always liked these old sci-fi/horror movies from this era.

I don't know if there's a similar topic but All these promos for the US (like the free shipping if you spend over $50 for US Only) are making me want to move to the US... But does anybody think there will ever be a promo for people who live in other countries like Canada(Not excluding the others of course)?
So many animes are ending... I'm sobbing here
even amazon doesn't do that. (They did it once as a special promotion, but wasn't permanent)
Shipping internationally is expensive.

What are Incoterms and when are they used?
"Incoterms" is an abbreviation of International Commercial Terms, which were first published in 1936 by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Since that time there have been six different revisions and updates to the Incoterms. The Incoterms provide a common set of rules for the most often used international terms of trade.
The goal of the Incoterms is to alleviate or reduce confusion over interpretations of shipping terms, by outlining exactly who is obligated to take control of and/or insure goods at a particular point in the shipping process. Further, the terms will outline the obligations for the clearance of the goods for export or import, and requirements on the packing of items. The Incoterms are used quite frequently in international contracts, and a specific version of the Incoterms should be referenced in the text of the contract.
Although the Incoterms are widely used and exceedingly handy, they are not meant for every type of contract. Specifically, the terms used in a contract state exactly when the shipper unloads and relinquishes obligation, and when the buyer takes over for carriage and insurance. The Incoterms are not meant to replace statements in a contract of sale that outline transfers of ownership or title to goods. Therefore, the Incoterms may not be of use when looking to resolve disputes that may arise regarding payment or ownership of goods.
What are some examples of Incoterms?
The 13 Incoterms fall into four different groups. These four groups are:
Each group's letter makes up the first letter of Incoterm. For example, if your agreement with a buyer calls for the release of goods by the seller to occur at the seller's location, the Ex Works (EXW) Incoterm would be used. This term states among other things that the buyer is to take over carriage and insurance responsibilities at the sellers dock. Alternatively, if the seller were to deliver goods to the buyers dock, including all carriage and insurance, a term from the Arrival group such as DDP would be appropriate. The DDP term stands for Delivered Duty Paid and includes in its definition that the seller will deliver goods to the buyers dock with all carriage, insurance, and duties paid. DDP represents the most obligations for the seller, whereas EXW represents the least.
Caution must be exercised when using Incoterms because the Incoterms relate to particular modes of transportation. For example, some of the Incoterms deal solely with transport by sea. Terms such as FOB and CIF can be used only for ocean bound freight. FOB, meaning Free on Board, translates to the shipper (seller) having upheld his/her part of the agreement when the goods pass the ship's rails at the port of exit. The receiving party (buyer) assumes risk and costs associated with the goods once they pass the ship's rail in the seller's home port. Due to the specific mention of the ship's rails, an aircraft or other mode of transport could not be used with FOB. For a shipment scheduled for delivery by air, rail, or some other form of transport with the same agreement as FOB one would need to use the Incoterm FCA, or Free Carrier. FCA can include other modes of transportation such as road, rail, interland waterway, and air. Whereas transfer under FOB takes place when the cargo passes the ship's rails, transfer with FCA occurs when delivery of goods has been made at a destination previously outlined by the buying party.
Where can I learn more about Incoterms?
Several different avenues exist for obtaining information on the Incoterms. The publisher of the Incoterms, the ICC, can be contacted directly for valuable print materials related to the Incoterms. They can be reached at ICC Publishing, 156 Fifth Avenue, Suite 417, New York, NY 10010, (212-206-1150), or www.iccbooks.com.
In addition to the hard copy version of the Incoterms, there are many different websites listing definitions of the Incoterms. Following are several of the sites currently available:

Tintin merchandise is still very popular around the world.
There are still over 2 million books sold annually worldwide. The total number of books sold since Remi created Tintin is estimated at 200 million books with four in ten homes in France owning at least one Tintin comic.
Tintin cartoons has been translated into over 60 languages and in China alone sales are in excess of 600,000 per year. There are many reasons for the popularity of Tintin merchandise. The ligne claire style has captured the imagination over people since the late 1940's when Remi developed the style. It has influenced artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein who cited the ligne claire illustrations of Remi as the influence behind the pop-art scene.
To watch cartoon is a very cool way to learn French
The Tintin world and Tintin cartoons merchandise is going to see a revival in the coming years with a trilogy of Tintin movies to be released. The first one is scheduled for release in 2009. What all the fuss is about? Tintin cartoons is easy to like and a simple character that everyone can connect with and understand. Tintin reminds us of our innocent childhood. The Tintin name is not recognized in America due to the fact Mickey Mouse was introduced to the world just a few months before Tintin the Belgium boy detective was first seen in Europe in the early 1930's. This will change when the film are released. Tintin is going to be popular around the world and may challenge Harry Potter in 2009.
You can choose to have a french teacher only for you
There are 23 Tintin albums in total and have been entertaining young boys and people of all ages for over 70 years.
The release of the films will hopefully increase the awareness of Tintin so he can proudly take stage where he belongs among the cartoon greats.
The story starts when an interest (a question accepted to have heavenly forces) that initially has a place with a tribe of South American Indians is stolen from a gallery in the town where Tintin lives. The following day the statue is come back with a note saying it had been a wagered. Tintin however ever the legend acknowledges it is a phony on the grounds that the substitution is finished when the first was feeling the loss of an ear.
Tintin now clearly need to get to the base of the secret so starts the adventure to understand the wrongdoing. He finds that a wood carver has as of late been murdered and concludes that this man Balthazar most likely cut the phony so goes looking for the keeps an eye on parrot in a would like to obtaining some much needed education to the executioner.
The lead sends him to South America alongside two other men who additionally are following the trail Alfonso Perez and Ramon Bada. They are for the most part endeavoring to exceed each other. Ramon and Alfonso on the voyage over by watercraft murder Roger Tortilla (not extremely creative) who was the man that initially stole the obsession. Tintin who had been in camouflage capture the men on docking in San Theodoros. In a contort the Colonel who welcomes them releases the men and it is Tintin who is later captured and is surrounded for psychological warfare and condemned to death.
Discover more information about the adventures of Tintin.
As Tintin is going to be executed by the terminating squad he is spared by a dissident pioneer General Alcazar.
Tintin who uncommonly has been drinking vigorously swears his devotion to Alcazar who is presently in charge of the nation and makes Tintin a Colonel.
Tintin new position demonstrates an assistance and a block as Perez, Ramon and the disfavored General Tortilla attempt to slaughter him. It is now we are acquainted with the "Gran Chapo War". This war is pushed by two contending oil organizations that both need the oil accepted to be underneath the earth in the Gran Chapo locale.
Tintin gets away from another endeavor on his life by General Trickler of Great American Oil (one of the contending organizations). Tintin in the long run ends up among the general population of Arumbaya. He tries to discover why such a significant number of individuals are after the obsession that in money related esteem is useless. Tintin picks up data that persuades that there is an important precious stone having a place with the Arumbaya tribe covered up in the fixation.

This post is brought to you by Boudreaux's Butt Paste and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.
Just last night we returned from a whirlwind car trip with 5 children. We were pretty much gone for 17 days! I'm going to give you a few tips for traveling with a baby.
Tip #1: Have naps and/or Quiet Time
The first stop on our trip was our annual family reunion. We typically go to Wisconsin Dells, but this year we rented a cabin from a family member at Little Paw Paw Lake, MI. I was so glad that I remembered to pack Boudreaux's Butt Paste in my bag. The first day we were at the lake, Quinny had an accident in her swimsuit and no one caught it. Between poop and sand, her poor little butt got rubbed raw. She was screaming every time she would go potty. Boudreaux's Butt Paste was able to give her some relief and provide some protection between her diaper and her skin. While at the lake house I did my best to try to get the babies to take a nap or at least get some lay down time every day. I did that to give the rest of my family some sanity from cranky babies!
Tip #2: Be prepared
Our next stop on our trip was unplanned. We returned home from our family reunion on the 16th only to find out that a dear family friend had died so we got things repacked on Wednesday and headed out to Iowa for two days to attend a wake and funeral. Unfortunately my husband had to fly out of town for work on Wednesday so he was supposed to meet us in Iowa via plane. Since I was the only adult traveling 5 hours with 5 kids, I wanted to make sure things were organized, easy to handle, and I didn't have to make a million stops. One thing I did was made sure that I had one bottle ready to go with water in it (just had to add the formula, which was pre-portioned) and an extra bottle of water in my backpack. Any one of the big kids were able to make a bottle quickly for Joey without having to pull of the road to make sure he was taken care of. The picture above was on our way back from the funeral; we stopped at a rest stop that overlooked the Mississippi River.
Tip #3: Have a baby carrier ready
So we got home late Friday night from Iowa and then got up super early Saturday morning, packed the van and headed out to New York City. My husband had work in the city so the kids and I went with since he's been traveling so much that we never see him anymore. When you're in a city as fast-paced as NYC, you have to learn to be flexible. You want to fit everything in, but you can't always do that. That also includes naps! So we took an on/off bus tour and while we rode the babies would nap on our laps. It's not necessarily an ideal napping situation, but knowing the babies got their sleep made life a lot easier. It also rained on us one day. Quinn loved playing in the rain and we just went with it. A tip for handling NYC with a baby is to use a baby carrier. There are so many people and pushing a stroller isn't always the easiest, plus some areas are way too small to fit the stroller. I would have felt better having baby snuggled up next to me instead of so far away in the stroller.
Tip #4 Be Flexible
On Tuesday we left my husband in NYC and headed to upstate New York to visit my friend. She is a super busy woman and we had to be flexible to fit into her schedule. She is a homeschooling mom of 5 kids as well. She's successfully running her own business and occasionally fills in as a morning news anchor at a Christian Radio Station. Trying to fit time in with us last week was a challenge so we had to be ready to go whenever we could and just enjoy the time making new friends and exploring new places. The kids got to visit her at work on our last day there. They enjoyed getting the radio station tour and meeting the morning personalities.
Tip #5: Find the Beauty and Just enjoy each other
On Friday my husband flew up to Rochester and we picked him up so we could spend the weekend with his Aunt and Uncle in upstate New York. It was so great spending time with them and I really didn't want to leave. We went to visit Niagara Falls on the way home and I have to admit, I was a crabby mess. I was hot and I saw a thunderstorm approaching and then my husband parked about a half a mile away from the falls. Unfortunately I was snapping at all the kids and the baby was crying because he was hot and stuck in the sun and I had just had enough. I had to take a step back from myself and think "Do I want the kids to remember this trip as the time that mom was angry about everything? Or do I just want to smile and have fun?" Traveling with babies and 5 kids can be hard, but it's worth it and I'm glad we are taking the time to show the kids the world we live in.
Keep in mind when you pack up to travel with your baby (or toddler) that you shouldn't leave home without a tube of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. You never know when your child will get sand in their diaper or eat something that doesn't agree with them. They'll be happy to have that extra protection on their bottom. Butt Paste is available in three types: Original Butt Paste (for minor or moderate rash), Maximum Strength (for stubborn rash), and All Natural (for minor or moderate rash but made with natural ingredients and is petrolatum free). To learn more about Boudreaux's Butt Paste you can follow them on social media here: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and their website.

Maybe if I had taken another route I wouldn't be here, right now. I wouldn't have to be worrying about the What If's? I would be peacefully at home maybe even drawing on my sketches, but I'm not. I'm not home were I'm safe from the danger outside in the world. If only I had went with my instincts about going a different route I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be here where my worst nightmare could only began.

Team Falken Tire will continue its sports car racing program program next year with Porsche, it was confirmed Wednesday. The team is set to campaign the first customer version of the new 911 RSR in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.
The Derrick Walker-led organization, which won last month's ALMS series-ending Petit Le Mans, has retained its core driver lineup, with Bryan Sellers and Porsche factory driver Wolf Henzler set to handle driving duties of the 991-based Porsche in the GT Le Mans category.
Due to time constraints, the team will forgo the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona and start the year at the Twelve Hours of Sebring in March, ahead of a planned effort for the remainder of 2014.
The Falken squad was the opportunity to test the new car privately prior to last month's Petit Le Mans.
"It's great to see Falken continuing on into the United SportsCar Series," said team manager Walker. "The commitment they've given to racing has been amazing. They're a very determined company to produce quality tires in the toughest environment.
"When you look at the new 911, it's a bigger step from the current car in terms of optimizing what it needs for a very competitive GT series. It will have all the things every racer needs: more downforce, lighter, more power, more grip, more mechanical grip. Porsche is continuing to make a serious commitment to GT racing and I couldn't be happier."
Sellers, who has been with Team Falken Tire since its inception in 2009, added: "It's very important I have continuity in a program and I am glad Wolf and Derrick will be returning as part of the program as well. I am very hopeful for the future of our program."
Falken joins the previously announced two-car factory effort from Porsche as the only teams expected to run the new 991-based RSR in North America.
As many as 12 cars are expected for the GTLM class next year, which will be largely made up of works entries.
18 Comments
Very cool to see another team joining the GTLM class and not another Porsche GT America in the GTD class.
GREAT news!
Well that opens up a slot for a Euro GTLM entry for Daytona.
Exactly what I was thinking. And that team could probably run Sebring as well, since they're currently marked as having three additional slots available (60 and 63).
Maybe AMR or AF-Corsa can make it after all?
They won't let AMR in unless they pay that million dollar marketing fee, or whatever it was Hindy was talking about.
AM only needs to pay if they want to be eligible for the mfg championship. Otherwise they won't score any points.
Well, I suppose if grid spaces are limited, entries using OEMs who have contributed toward series marketing are going to get first crack at it, which makes sense. In which case, AF Corsa would likely get first crack at it (or not, Ferrari doesn't seem to need to advertise much).
Lets be smart about this, this is the only location this car could go. Now while I am glad to see that Porsche smartened up and got them the best fire power available, it was this or nothing for them. Every other class has a spec. tire, every other series has a spec. tire. While I am glad there is another GTLM car (the 9th confirmed of 12 full season spots available, IMSA are you paying attention?) they should not be congratulated for not doing GTD, they didn't have an option.
I understand what you're saying.
I was just happy to hear of another entry in the GTLM class in general. I'm aware that they (Falken) really don't have another option due to tire regs.
Good to get confirmation the blue and green will be competing again.
I am looking forward to the 991 in Falken and Core livery. In all honesty, I am not the biggest fan of the Porsche AG livery in WEC.
Agreed, its a little bland isn't it?
Do we know if there will be a Porsche works team in the WEC next year?
Expect to see the Manthey Team back in the WEC.
I'm not happy at all that the team will miss the Daytona 24 but I guess due to the poor timing of the TUSC regulations, and possibly Porsche taking a 'let's wait and see' approach with non-factory teams (Core Autosports), we probably can't blame Derrick Walker or the team in any way. At least they'll still run the rest of the season in GTLM.
Glad to see this. Welcome back Team Falken.

Bosnia's new PM takes office, pledges EU-backed reforms
SARAJEVO, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Bosnia's parliament approved Denis Zvizdic as prime minister on Wednesday after he promised to unblock the Balkan country's stalled bid to join the European Union and push through reforms sought by the bloc.
The approval came some four months after Bosnia's elections despite EU pleas for swift action. Bickering over jobs has slowed the formation of new governments at different layers of Bosnia's complex system, a legacy of a peace accord that ended its 1992-95 war and split power along ethnic lines.
"The period ahead of us is one that should bring about change, reforms and economic development and I will do my best to make a shift from daily politicking to real economic and social issues," Zvizdic, a Muslim Bosniak, told lawmakers.
Twenty-eight lawmakers in the 42-seat assembly backed Zvizdic for the post, five voted against and two abstained.
Deputies of two Bosnian Serb parties walked out of the chamber before the vote after their request to discuss charges against the parliamentary speaker was denied.
Deputies from Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik's SNSD party, which is not part of the ruling coalition in parliament, have said they will oppose any national legislation they see as undermining the interests of the Serb Republic.
Zvizdic, a former architecture professor, pledged to respect the authority of Bosnia's two constituent autonomous units, the Bosniak-Croat Federation and the Serb Republic, and said he would try to ease political relations within the country.
Bosnia's unwieldy system of ethnic power-sharing has slowed reforms, stifled development and left the country trailing its ex-Yugoslav peers on the road to EU membership.
Zvizdic, 50, was nominated by the largest Muslim Bosniak party, SDA, as part of the ethnic power-sharing deal. He has previously served as the Sarajevo cantonal prime minister and as the parliamentary speaker of the Federation.
Critics say his track record is poor and have voiced doubts about his ability to lead Bosnia decisively along a reform path. (Reporting by Maja Zuvela: Editing by Zoran Radosavljevic and Gareth Jones)

HOSTILE WORKPLACE: Obama's Female Debate Coach Complained About 'Hostile Workplace' at White House.
Really? Where would she get that impression?
At the exact moment Jon Favreau is receiving high praise in pre-inaugural media puff pieces, the 27-year-old chief speechwriter for President-elect Barack Obama (not Jon Favreau, the Hollywood actor/ director) finds himself in a minor mess over a photo from a recent private party showing him groping the breast of a cardboard cutout of Hillary Rodham Clinton as an unnamed pal wearing an "Obama staff" T-shirt kisses and feeds her beer.
If you haven't seen it, imagine the early stages of the barroom rape scene of "The Accused" with Jodie Foster. Or think prosecutor Mike Nifong's graphic (though false) descriptions of the Duke lacrosse party. Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson danced to a similar tune at the 2004 Super Bowl.
Fraternities have been closed for less.
(And has anyone told Obama's campaign co-chair about this issue? She may be laboring under a false consciousness.)
RELATED: Heh, indeed.™

Search is On for European Native Seed Collections
A plea has gone out for information to all institutes holding conservation collections of European native seeds.
Participants speaking at the Third Annual European Native Seed Conservation Network (ENSCONET) meeting in Warsaw, Poland recently expressed the need to compile a complete inventory of samples conserved in seed banks.
ENSCONET coordinates seed conservation activities of wild plants within Europe.
Seed collections could be the only hope for hundreds
Their activities will help guide the prioritisation of collecting, and determine the need for future resources to support the collections made.
Simon Linington, Chair of ENSCONET said "Although great progress has been made in assembling data from the network's partners, the inventory needs to represent all relevant collections from the continent."
He urged institutes that maintain seed banks of native European seeds to contact ENSCONET's co-ordinator, Dr Jonas Müller.
The threats to the flora of Europe have never been greater. Through the impacts of habitat destruction, invasive weeds, over-collecting and pollution, as many as one in three plant species are under threat.
Climate change is likely to increase the number of plants threatened. For many of these species, ex situ conservation using seed banks provides the only realistic hope for their survival until re-introduction or population reinforcement can be carried out, perhaps many years later.


text: Sorry to those who cant apply this method..... it takes little programming skills which I don't have either. Move this to Jr. VIP if you want but I'm not a member there so it would suck. First of all, what we are going to do is just harvest emails from college website directories. For example: http://www.psu.edu/directory/ What I did was hired someone to create a program for every college that I wanted to gather students on. He only charged me $10 per prog per school, which I felt was really fair. Unless you chose a school that has low population or a bad search. Everything was done in VB so if you have little programming skills you can easily apply this. Just look at how the post method is done to apply the names. Or you could just have the API load the txt line per line and gather like that. What he did was created a whole list of first names in a txt. Jessica, Veronica, Jack, John, Joe, Joseph, etc. I of course added to the list besides his. I used a list of baby names. The program goes through the "Full name field" with the .txt of names. It will list a maximum of 200 people(just for the site example). Gather emails and load them into facebook for friend requests . There are many schools who have these types of directories. Hope you all enjoyed. I was going to post this as my 100th post but whatever. Thanks or donations are always welcomed! Because I still am poor.

Age Appropriateness
Lunch Line is a fun (and funny) game in which students practice their fractions, decimals, and percentages ordering skills. Students must arrange the celebrities and historical figures in a lunch line based on the values floating on top of their heads from least to greatest. If students arrange all ten correctly, the lunch line will proceed smoothly to the cafeteria in a straight line and they'll be able to print out a certificate showing the line leader. If figures are positioned incorrectly, the lunch line will stagger crookedly and inefficiently to the cafeteria, thereby angering the teacher.

Scratch a philosopher, find a reductionist revolutionary. Thales thought he'd shake up the world by claiming everything was made of water, a resourceful guess by a sixth-century-BC thinker stuck in a port city. Pythagoras declared that all things consisted of numbers because harmonies and ratios did. Heraclitus judged the sole primary element to be fire, then made sure we had enough rivers to douse it in an emergency.
That monomaniacal spirit, obsessed with balancing the world on one foot or idea, meanders through the Western philosophical tradition, stopping at major stations such as Spinoza's sole substance of "God/Nature" and local curiosities like Bergson's élan vital. Thus it has ever been: If you would stir tumult in the canon, surround a concept, then exalt it, make it over or drive it out of the temple, whipping the mangy beast if necessary.
In these fin de millénaire dog days for philosophy, "reason" presents an especially inviting conceptual target. Humiliated and marginalized by twentieth-century politics and war, belittled by psychoanalysis, stripped of its capital letter by everyone except the Germans, it hobbles along in the humanist vocabulary, mainly surfacing in musty older-generation conversation. ("Won't he listen to reason?") Even intellectuals who treasure its Enlightenment glory days treat reason like a rickety emeritus, worthy of deference during chance encounters but not of mention in one's current work. Many philosophers and cognitive scientists exclude it from their books and indexes, ignoring it like some now embarrassing cousin of phlogiston.
So the first thing to say about Donald Calne, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson is that they buck those who refuse to listen to reason and attempt to put it back at center stage, if not atop its old pedestal. They treat "reason" not just as an idea that still matters but as perhaps the proper cynosure of philosophy, rightly understood. Their voices exude familiar revolutionary commitment: Listen to my big ideas, because they may change your thinking about thinking forever.
Calne speaks in the softer register. A Vancouver neurologist who specializes in neurodegenerative disorders, he comes not to bury reason in the new semantics of neurons, synapses and the anterior cingulate sulcus (where Francis Crick locates free will) but to raise it out of wet matter and see what's left. Reason, Calne assures, may still be regarded as a psychological "faculty" in traditional style, so long as we recognize that it's "a biological product" and understand that we're "motivated by instinctive urges and emotions linked to cultural forces–reason is their servant and not their master." Calne argues that modern neurology gives reason no role in setting our goals: It deals with "how" issues, thus explaining why ours is not to reason "why." It is "simply and solely a tool" fashioned by evolution, a capability that "cannot assign or control the purposes to which it is put," something we use "to get what we want, not to choose what we want."

360 Browser
Thumb from page to page, literally
iOS App of the Week There isn't a proper version of Firefox available for iOS, but the 360 Web Browser is perhaps the closest alternative I've seen so far. Version 3.0 has just been released and its feature list is ridiculously long, including an option to sync with Firefox, a built-in download and file manager, the ability to upload files to a Dropbox account, and a plug-in architecture similar to Firefox.
360 Browser makes use of a phone-friendly scroll-wheel-style UI
In the end, though, the main thing that prompted me to cough up the mere 59p developer Digital Poke is asking for the browser was simply its highly efficient browsing interface.
There are two key features that give it the edge over Apple's Safari. Its tabbed browsing is much better for working with multiple web pages than Safari's long-winded open-and-close juggling act.
There's a standard web view (left), but the browser can also go full screen
Then there's the "360 arc" control system: a circular on-screen menu similar to the scroll wheel control of the original iPod.
