"How I learnt English … and how I didn't"
I came across this graphic on Facebook recently and, as an English teacher, it depressed me a great deal, especially when I went to the original page and read the comments, as person after person spoke of the video games which helped them to learn. While it is great that they have been able to learn, and that they have taken responsibility for their own learning, as a teacher I feel bad that this is the image that at least some students have of our work. So for the past few days I have been thinking of ways to redress the balance. Luckily, there are many ways in which we can incorporate elements of what the students identified as helping them to learn English into their mainstream classes.
Using songs
Perhaps the step that we have all taken to bring our classes into line with the interests of our students is the introduction of popular songs into the classroom. Indeed, modern textbooks designed for teenagers often include exercises built around pop songs as a way of engaging students. However, the very nature of popular music means that it is practically impossible to include a song in a printed medium which stands the test of time until the next reprinting. In addition to this, it can be hard to choose the most appropriate song for a classroom of teenagers – inevitably, if some of the students love the song, others will hate it. And the generation gap between teacher and student can lead to choosing a song which fails to have the desired motivating effect. Often, the end result is that the teacher chooses a more classic song which they feel more comfortable with.
One answer to this problem is available online. The site www.lyricstraining.com provides simple gap-fill listening exercises based on a large range of modern songs. If you have access to a computer lab at some stage, this can be a nice exercise to end the session, as each student can choose the song they want to work on and complete the lyrics exercise on their own using headphones. If you are lucky enough to have access to computers in the classroom, this can be used for fast finishers.
However, there must be more to introducing music into the classroom than simply providing more practice in gap-fill exercises, or the novelty will soon wear off. Something I try to do is to have parts of songs appear in unlikely places in the class. One exercise I use is the jigsaw dictation, in which a text is dictated with the sentences jumbled. The students must first take the information down as a dictation, and then work together to reorganise the sentences to reconstruct the original text, using their knowledge of grammar and cohesion. So why not use the lyrics of a song as the jumbled text? Better still, why not mix the lyrics of two songs, to add an extra layer of text organisation to the exercise? If you don't tell the students at the start of the exercise what the source of the text dictated is, it adds an element of surprise to the exercise which can perhaps be more motivating than simply announcing that you're going to listen to a song. A possible way of checking whether they have the correct order for the texts is to play the song at the end of the exercise.
Another way in which I use songs in class is in the exercise 'Desert Island Discs'. In this activity, students get to talk about why they have chosen a particular piece of music and how they feel about it, as well as sharing their choice of music with the rest of the class.
For younger learners, it can be more of a problem to ask them to look for music online, and great care must be taken to ensure that what they come into contact with is appropriate for them, but this doesn't mean that we can't work with songs online in class. Cambridge English has a great platform available on their website called Sing & Learn, which is designed to help students learn, remember and use new language through a series of karaoke activities that can be used both in class and at home. The videos are divided into levels taken from Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). If you're not sure what level your child is at, it may be a good idea to start with the pre-A1 level video At the zoo.
Bringing video into the classroom
In my post 'How to exploit video in the classroom' I examined different activities which can be used in class in order to introduce an audiovisual element into everyday learning.
Videos are a great way of presenting ideas or topics to the class,but they should be used as an integrated part of the lesson. To this end, short clips of video are far more useful than longer parts of films, and a series of activities can be planned around different showings of the same video. For excellent ready-made examples of what can be achieved with this sort of material, I suggest you try Kieran Donaghy's great website, www.film-english.com.
I have a colleague who regularly uses film trailers from You Tube in her classes, with listening comprehension activities very similar to those which can be done with songs. In a C2 (Proficiency) class, I used a series of short clips from the series 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' to illustrate different regional British accents, although fully accepting that even a Proficiency group would have difficulties following Jimmy Nail in full flow! Matt Halsdorff, in a comment on the post mentioned above, said that he used video for close listening exercises, focusing on very specific items of usage, such as 'gonna', 'wanna', or the excessive use of 'like' in popular speech.
However, while bringing video into the classroom in this way is motivating and comes closer to matching the students' real world experience, it remains a relatively passive experience. It is a simple step to allow the students to make their own videos, either in the classroom itself or for presentation in the classroom. This can range from recording videos of presentations done by the students so that they can analyse themselves as part of any debriefing to full-blown video projects which they script and organise themselves. I have had students produce videos of weather forecasts, adverts, daytime TV programmes and cookery programmes, while a colleague in Primary sets a video project every year in which his Year 4 students represent different aspects of Roman life as part of his CLIL social science class. Using relatively simple software, students can create photo stories, or video podcasts explaining a point of grammar or an item of vocabulary, along the lines of the example below, taken from Cambridge English TV, Cambridge English's own YouTube channel:
On Cambridge English TV you can find different models of spoken text, from short language learning tips to interviews, and all of these can be used as models for your students' own productions. And of course, you can also find model speaking tests for all of the different exams, complete with examiner comments.
You can find other free online activities for all ages and English levels involving video tasks on our page Cambridge English Learning English. These online activities, available for teenagers and adults, can help you practise your reading, writing, listening, pronunciation and vocabulary skills.
An important thing to say in any examination of possible new teaching techniques is that what we have been doing up to now should not be rejected. While in this post we have focused on bringing elements of our students' outside realities into the classroom, what we have been doing in the classroom up to now plays an important part in the education of our students and we must continue to do it. However, things outside the classroom have changed radically in the last few years, and as educators we must be aware of ways in which we can engage and motivate our students, including incorporating what they feel comfortable with into our everyday approach.
Over to you
These are just a few ideas for introducing elements from outside the classroom into your lessons. But how about you? What do you do to bring songs and videos into the classroom? Do you have a favourite activity you'd like to share?
I look forward to reading your comments.

A new perspective for
prospective students.
Webster University
World. Class.
With an international campus network spanning four continents and eight countries, Webster University, tucked away in Webster Groves, Missouri, is exponentially more connected than it appears.
Their international network allows them to offer students something no other university does — a truly global perspective.
The early bird gets the student.
The decision to go to grad school is an extremely involved one, not unlike buying a home or vehicle. And it's a long conversation between student and school before they make a decision. So starting this long conversation early on using the microsite we built would be crucial to successfully enrolling new students.
Prospective students are careful; they want to know everything there is to know about what they're getting themselves into. Our target — grad students — are an even more selective group. These people already have jobs and degrees, so they aren't in any hurry. That's why we decided to start the conversation early on, because being available to them early on during their long decision process was key to this campaign's success.
Look out, world.
Despite its worldwide presence, Webster competes with forms of education that didn't exist when the university was founded a century ago. Competition from open-source learning, for-profit institutions and online universities were markedly decreasing Webster's graduate program enrollment.
And while the university had more to offer than these trendy educational outlets, prospective students weren't seeing it. To curb the downward trend, we knew we needed to help students remember the true purpose of getting an education and experience why Webster is uniquely qualified to deliver it.
Global site, local data.
On Webster's previous site, a prospective student had to dig for the information they needed most. And if someone submitted an inquiry to Webster, its system wasn't designed to furnish a quick response.
So we built a global site with localized data, perfectly suiting this global university with a local mission.
We created a custom site for Webster's graduate recruitment efforts so we could start the conversation with a prospective student early on, while they're still in the discovery phase. And to condense all the otherworldly benefits of a global education to a digestible size, we distilled and rewrote over 150 pages of content into a bite-size, easy-to-read format.
Campaign Photography
Smile for the camera.
The entire site was designed around the idea of custom photography, so a lot hinged on how the photos turned out. We had a photo shoot where we shifted the primary focus from Webster to each student's career aspirations. We wanted to show the result all students come here looking for: a better job. By showing people in that moment where they're truly proud of the job their education unlocked for them, the hero shots cut straight to the point. Because after all, a degree is only as valuable as the job it helps you get.
We made this just for you.
Nobody wants to spend time digging for information. So creating a site that's responsive to every viewer's information made it easier to customize each experience to his or her liking. And our global site, local data strategy is very effective. Each page includes modules that take a deeper dive into the conversation, with the topic varying based on where they are. And this highly detailed, customized architecture hosts a high number of variations based on who's viewing, so it always feels like it was made just for you because, in fact, it was.
Survey says…
Data also played a big role in shaping our decisions as the campaign evolved. To keep up with the abundant data points available, we had to install sophisticated backend analytics so they could integrate the data with their enrollment management system.
After it gave us a sizeable output of data points, our challenge was to sift through this massive amount of usage data and determine what the measured behaviors meant. Then, we applied those lessons to our campaign.
Wave to Webster on your way to work.
When you're talking to working professionals on their way to work, you won't want to waste anyone's time. That's why we created bold, to-the-point outdoor boards that speak with a knowledgeable, no-nonsense tone to likeminded people who just might be considering investing in a graduate degree.
All together now.
The collaboration between client, creative, strategy and development early on was fundamental to pulling this off. Our client and their team contributed a huge amount of intellectual capital, which made it possible to map out every piece of the puzzle and execute at a high level. We created multiple versions of user flows and wireframes; we then built them and often, reconfigured them based on live feedback from our team. The result was a very deliberately and effectively designed 360-degree experience that did exactly what we set out to make it do: start your grad school conversation.

should we always post photos of what we eat?
By Ron Cruz
In the age where a smart phone is fast becoming a food utensil, everyone can easily become a foodie, a critique, a connoisseur. So, inevitably food-whoring became a subculture of travel and social media: Taking pictures of what's on the plate replaced the prayer before meals and the cyber generation claimed a responsibility to show the world what we are eating despite the fact that no one is asking for us to do so.
In the pre-social media world, people will only take pictures of food because:
- They work in the food industry (like chefs, stylist, writers, photographers).
- There's a bug in the food and they want to have an evidence when they sue the restaurant.
Now people take pictures of food because:
- Uh, duh!
- Because you want to show-off and caption: Kaffir lime marinated partridge medallions on coconut reduction with artichoke puree, saffron couscous-quinoa sides, slow terra cotta baked cilantro, kumquat and kale chips drizzled with oil of olay and calamine aioli. #YUM #DuckFace #FoodPorn
Should we do this? The safe answer is "It depends on where you are."
French culture. Their cuisine set a global benchmark in gastronomic standards, dining is deemed to be a serious affair and so some chefs do not like the idea of diners taking photos of the food. That's understandable, because their culinary culture said so.
This culinary culture also said eating burger is a carnal sin, fast food is dismissed as a cultural taboo and don't get them started with french fries because they will brush you off and they will deny the responsibility for it, ask for pommes frites.
In a country where they can change the color of McDonald's logo because the yellow and red are, well, too tacky for Champs Elysees, we could not help but abide or be ready for a Parisian wrath for dessert.
One should really make a dissertation on Chefs' free publicity versus intellectual property in social media. A lot of renowned chefs are campaigning to stop taking pictures of their food, I think I understand why: (1) they are spoiling the novelty for other diners, (2) they somehow feel their intellectual property rights are violated and (3) it is painful for a chef to watch the perfectly cooked steak at 133°F medium rare go cold while the diner take several shots using her smartphone for her real-time blow-by-blow instagram posting.
I also understand the passion behind the hash tag, Food Porn. FINE! But don't blame people for thinking of you humping the thanksgiving rotisserie turkey or when the bratwurst went missing.
I am not a sophisticated foodie, I just pretend I know the difference between hors d'oeuvre versus amuse bouche, and hummus vesus baba ghanoush. Half of the trick is just learning to pronounce it correctly. Anyway, nobody really cares if you know what a foie gras is, for as long as you know that there is a sad duck behind it, it is expensive and it tastes like isaw (grilled pork/chicken intestines), that's fairly good enough.
So for non-experts/non-pros like me (and majority of us in instagram) the myopic eye of the general public is prying and asking the existential question of whether we should ALWAYS post photos of what we eat.
The correct answer is "Do whatever you feel like doing!" But my personal take on this is simple and I will say this without being judgmental:
Ruling-out the issue on meal etiquettes and cultural differences, try to ask yourself if the people around you are genuinely interested on what you had for lunch, if your answer is a resounding YES, then snap and post! But if you are just trying to sound sophisticated when you caption "I just had a Calenberger Pfannenschlag!" we will just hope it is not a sexually transmitted infection. And if your answer is NO, then save your battery, shut up and eat #BonAppetit.

A large, Praetorian-sized Xenomorph with a greyish-green exoskeleton and a hard, tan carapace on its head, back, and forearms. It gets its name from the chrysalis it is seen gestating in when it first appears.
The Chrysalis' head can extend a short distance from underneath its carapace when biting prey, in addition to the extension of the inner mouth. It sometimes moves and-or attacks by rolling itself along the ground in a ball.
More Chrysalis are seen defending the Queen during the final battle. These have a reddish or blue coloring.
A variation of the Chrysalis appears in the second level of the Konami "Aliens" arcade game, but it looks considerably different, and has a different attack pattern.

Many of our babies' firsts are together. Their first time eating solids was side by side. They transitioned to their own cribs together. Since we have three boys and a girl, I pictured the boys getting their first haircuts together. It is amazing how many variations there are in a single gene pool. Grayson has so much more hair and teeth than any of the other babies. We held off on cutting his hair for a little while, but finally, it was time. He was starting to look scraggly, from bed head, to swing head, to car seat head. Yes, it was time.
Grayson at home before his haircut
In the Barber Shop before his cut
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take Grayson for his first hair cut by myself. It would not have been the same if I needed to take the quad stroller and the other babies. I was able to cuddle with Grayson and dote on him while I carried our video camera and regular camera, looking like a dorky Mom. I could not hide my excitement as we sat and waited at the busy shop. I eyed the possible seats, an airplane and a red hummer. I imagined that Grayson might have a meltdown like he did for Santa, and was mentally prepared.
When our wait was up, Grayson sat in the red hummer. The owner of the Barber Shop expertly cut his hair. Grayson simply sat there looking around, without a single tear. I stood in front of him capturing his first hair cut on video and in still shots. I could see the people around us were bemused by all the hoopla over a haircut. I didn't care. I was having a Mama-Son date, something I do not get to do very often.
Before my eyes, he transformed from a scraggly car seat head into a little boy with a little boy haircut. He received a certificate and a lock of hair when he was finished. These milestones will only happen once. I want to cherish them all.
At the end, he was ready to go home.
The sun lit up his little boy haircut as he sat in his car seat.

DIY Damsel
My latest obsession is customizing denim shorts, similar to the 'Runwaydreamz' shorts I got a little while back. The dye. The studs. The frayed edges. What's not to love? Anyways, just wanted to show you a picture of a pair of vintage shorts that I am customizing at the moment and if anyone who reads this (not you, Dad) wants me to customize a pair of their denim shorts then just send me a message on Facebook, Twitter or Blogspot and I will get back to you!

|Counting profits:
Benedict's favourite weekend activity
Account of profits in trade mark infringement and passing off cases? The IPKat is delighted to host a guest contribution by Simon Chapman (Lewis Silkin) on this very topic and on a case (Jack Wills v House of Fraser) in which he and his team have acted for the defendant.
Here's what Simon writes:
"Following Mr Justice Arnold's finding (Jack Wills Limited v House of Fraser (Stores) Limited [2014] EWHC 110 (Ch)) that retailer House of Fraser was liable for trade mark infringement and passing off after adopting a pigeon logo that was confusing similar to Jack Wills pheasant trade mark, HHJ Pelling gave judgment (Jack Wills Limited v House of Fraser (Stores) Limited [2016] EWHC 626(Ch)) in the account of profits, with the final profit figure being identified in the form of order hearing last week.
Judgments in respect of accounts of profits are rare, primarily on consideration that the parties usually come to an agreement on the level of profit that the defendant has made from its infringement after preliminary disclosure because they wish to avoid the costs of further legal proceedings that can be very expensive. However, following the Court of Appeal's decision in Hollister Inc v Medik Ostomy Supplies Limited [2012] EWCA Civ1419, some commentators believed that defendants would be unable to deduct general overheads (ie overheads that support the defendant's business in general, such as rent, management and advertising) from their profits after direct costs (such as VAT and cost of purchasing or manufacturing the infringing items) had been deducted.
And so it was that Jack Wills, the British clothing brand particularly popular with well-heeled twenty-somethings, sought to recover over £650,000, that sum being the entirety of House of Fraser (HoF)'s sales revenues less VAT and cost of manufacture, and without any apportionment of the profits between the infringing use and other factors, such as the design of the garments. On the other hand, HoF claimed that the amount payable was in the region of £50,000 after the deductions of both direct costs, general overheads and apportionment.
A few days before the hearing, the Court of Appeal handed down its judgment in Design & Display Limited v OOO Abbott and another [2016] EWCA Civ 95. In that case, the Court of Appeal overturned a judgment by HHJ Hacon, ordering that a defendant should be able to deduct general overheads from the profit figure if he has foregone an opportunity to sell non-infringing products. In that case, Lewison LJ agreed with Kitchin LJ's reliance on an Australian case, Dart Industries Inc v Décor Corp Pty Limited [1994] FSR 567, in which the court had held that "… where a defendant has foregone the opportunity to manufacture and sell alternative products it will ordinarily be appropriate to attribute to the infringing product a proportion of the general overheads which would have sustained the opportunity. On the other hand if no opportunity is forgone and the overheads involved were costs which would have been incurred in any event, then it would not be appropriate to attribute the overheads to the infringing product. Otherwise the defendant would be in a better position than it would have been in if it had not infringed".
Jack Wills had pleaded that a defendant needed to show it was operating at full capacity, or else it could not show that it had foregone an opportunity to sell non-infringing products, i.e. that capacity was a threshold condition. However the Court of Appeal in Design and Display made it absolutely clear (to the extent there ever was any ambiguity) that capacity was not a threshold condition. HHJ Pelling found that the true test was "whether HoF has demonstrated that (a) the same overheads would have been incurred even if the infringement had not occurred and (b) the sale of infringing products would have been replaced by sale of non-infringing products which would have been sustained by the overheads in fact used to sustain the infringement."
On the facts, HoF satisfied this burden: it showed that it had a consistent range of products year on year; it sold broadly the same number of products each season; and that the infringing products replaced non-infringing garments before subsequently being replaced by non-infringing garments. This was not a case where the defendant had added a new line of infringing items to its existing business.
Jack Wills argued that even if HoF could deduct some overheads it would need to show to the requisite evidential standard that the specific overhead had supported sales of the infringing products. HoF on the other hand argued that the whole business was supported by all of the costs.
With the exception of some small costs the court allowed HoF to deduct all of its general overheads. This had the effect of substantially reducing the amount payable and putting it much more in line with the profit levels of the whole business.
As a further point, there was significant argument over the basis of calculating the applicable percentage of overheads. HoF's expert witness sought to deduct overheads by reference to sales turnover as HoF did in its management accounts. Jack Wills' expert witness claimed this was not the best way and that a 'square-footage' basis was preferable. Essentially, the judge decided that, except where one particular method is clearly superior, it is a judgment call as to which of the imperfect measures is most appropriate for a particular category of overhead. He then applied each method to the particular category in dispute as he considered most appropriate.
Having arrived at a net profit figure, the court then had to determine the further question of whether to award Jack Wills that or just those profits attributable to the infringement. Jack Wills argued that it was entitled to all of these, but HoF claimed that the garments themselves had value over and above the value of the pigeon logo that had been found to infringe, i.e. there was value in the design, fit, quality and other intangible qualities of the garments and value in the store environment itself. HoF claimed that to require it to pay over 100% of the profit it made, would be to give Jack Wills a windfall and punish it, which is not the purpose of an account of profits. Jack Wills had of course been entitled to elect for damages at the outset instead of profits, but had chosen not to.
HoF argued that there was no different test to be applied to trade mark cases than is the case in respect of other IP rights; there is value in the product aside from the value of the infringed IP. Further, the evidence was that there was no increase in sales or profitability following the adoption of the infringing logo.
HHJ Pelling was not persuaded that trade mark cases are by their nature different from other IP cases and accordingly, held that 41% of the net profits were attributable to the infringing mark. That figure was based on HoF's expert witness evidence regarding typical royalties for the use of third party brands.
The amount of profits that HoF was ordered to pay to Jack Wills totaled £53,281, against the £650,000 that had been claimed.
For many IP owners, it is the costs consequences of the judgment that will be the cautionary tale. At the form of order hearing, the court heard that HoF had made several offers to settle the claim and that Jack Wills had failed to beat one made very early on in the account proceedings. The court therefore ordered that Jack Wills should pay HoF's costs of the account from the expiry of that offer. As such, despite Jack Wills finding itself in the position of having won on liability it will be substantially out of pocket. Claimants will need to keep firmly in mind that the value of IP litigation is primarily in obtaining an injunction and consider very carefully indeed whether to elect for damages or profits after a successful decision on liability."

Today I would love to welcome Kayla Jameth to the cyber bar.
A knight and a former princess, Kayla now spends her time writing m/m romance. A true Renaissance woman, she has done everything from cross stitch like a proper lady to welding with the best of them. An eclectic life has left her with a unique understanding of the world inhabited by men and an appreciation for the difficulties faced by men in m/m relationships. It is her devout wish that her experiences translate into a richer telling of such tales.
What we are Drinking
Four Parts Orange Juice
One Part Amaretto
Enough Vanilla Ice Cream to make a nice milk shake in the blender.
Deanna: First things first. Where are you and what are you wearing?
Kayla: (((Hands Deanna a frosty mug))) Why don't you follow me this way? My favorite reading chairs are in my library.
(((Waves Deanna to the one on the right before dropping into one or the horse-shoe shaped chairs))) These chairs are just so comfortable. (((slumps down and snuggle into it with my legs draped over one of the arms.))) Just make yourself at home.
As you can see I'm a bit of a tomboy so I'm just in my usual jeans and a t-shirt. There's nothing fancy about me.
Deanna: And what is this yummy drink you made for us today?
Kayla: It's called a dreamsicle and tastes a bit like an orange push up. It's a nice little dessert that can pack a bit of a punch depending on just how stout you mix it. I think it's a nice end to the day. (((Takes a sip)))
Deanna: (((takes a sip and smacks lips))) Oh, nice, you gave me a stiff one!
Kayla: (((grins))) I try!
Deanna: Now that we're comfy, tell me about your new book.
Kayla: (((Leans forward))) My latest work in progress is an m/m romance called ALEXIOS' FATE. It's about a youth, named Alexios, in ancient Greece who happens, through no fault of his own, to capture Apollo's fancy. There is a fair amount of history and the gods and their lesser brethren walk the pages in this period piece. Once again we are reminded that one man's history is another's mythology.
Deanna: I've read an older version of this story and I love it. I can't wait to read the finished version! But tell me, where did the idea for this story come from?
Kayla: I have an online group called Inspired Writing. We post a photo periodically and write a story to go with it. This particular photo was of a nearly naked man chained to a rock with a Greek temple and a trireme in the background.
Deanna: Oh and there he is!!! Yum! No wonder you were inspired!
Kayla: (((refills the cocktails))) The setting was obviously ancient Greece and very reminiscent of Andromeda. She was chained to a rock to be devoured by a sea monster in retribution for her mother unwisely bragging that she was more beautiful than the daughters of one of the local sea gods. Perseus saves her from the monster and weds her in the traditional myth.
My story is similar. Alexios' father makes a boast that angers Apollo. The young man is chained to the rock and Apollo sends a storm to destroy him because of his father's hubris. But will anyone be able to play the part of Perseus and save him from his fate?
Deanna: What was the hardest part of writing this story for you?
Kayla: (((Leans back and stares at the ceiling for a moment))) Hardest part… Nothing in particular. This story wanted to be written and practically flew onto the paper for me. The one thing that gave me difficulty initially was dialog. I needed more dialog and asked my good friend Deanna, the queen of gab, to help me out with suggestions on how to get more in there. (((Nods at hostess)))Thank you very much for your suggestions. They took a 20K short story up to a 35K novella and added a lot of depth at the same time.
Deanna: Awwww, thanks, hon! I was glad to help! What was the easiest thing about writing this book?
Kayla: Just about everything. I'm a pantser. I write what my guys tell me and they kept me busy trying to keep up. I really think I enjoyed writing Alexios' tale more than anything else I have ever written. The descriptions of the culture and the surroundings, the mythology and religious aspects, the limitations of all the characters, slave, prince, king and god alike all had constraints inherent in their separate statuses they couldn't ignore. No one, not even a god, is truly free.
One of my beta readers said that the sex in this story is very political. Every character's actions are all based on status, power and wealth. I did not set out to write this story that way. I merely wrote situations that were historically correct, but by so doing the sex must perforce be political.
Deanna: What is your dream story, your opus, if you will? The one you dream about writing but haven't done?
Kayla: I'm not sure that applies to me. I don't have an epic in mind. I actually do all my stories from photo prompts. I see a photo and wonder how the people in the picture got into that situation and what they will do next. Then I spend some time ironing out all the flaws and wrinkles in the story line. I like puzzling out a logical/reasonable reason for everything.
(((Shrugs))) I guess I just haven't seen the right photo yet.
Deanna: When did you first discover you were a writer? Were you like sitting on the toilet and just said, "Ya know, I think I'm gonna write a book." Or was it more profound?
Kayla: I guess my epiphany was only marginally more profound. I was reading some Samurai Champloo slash where the author had used every name in the series, but hadn't bothered to keep the setting or the characters true to the anime. The main characters had been brought up into the present and their personalities swapped. And it only devolved from there!
I told Sara, whose slash I helped edit, that I could do better than that. She made me prove it. About eighteen months ago I wrote the first chapter of my slash INFINITE INFATUATION. I intended my first and only piece to be a one shot PWP (Plot, What Plot?), but somehow it has grown to be six chapters long.
I still didn't call myself an author.
Deanna: I know it can be hard to admit you actually are an author, like your bragging or something. But trust me, Kayla, You ARE an author and I love your work. I've read several of your stories a. The first one I read was that m/m Cinderella spin off. Can you tell our readers about it?
Kayla: That would be the cinderfella story I wrote called CINDER-GARCON? and then some original pieces in response to the Inspired Writing photos. Several people called me an author at that point, but I argued that point with them.
It wasn't until a publisher offered to publish a short story for me that I started to think of myself as a writer. I finally gave in and admitted it when I started a blog a few weeks back and put in the welcome that I am an author of m/m fiction.
Deanna: Well, you are a great writer, dear! I only have the best at the cyber bar! Speaking of...
Kayla: Oh, looks like we're out! (((whips up another batch and pours them out)))
Deanna: (((taking a sip))) I'll either be drunk by the end of this or on a sugar high. Probably both! Now, what helps you when you are stumped on a scene in a manuscript? I usually have a cocktail … or three … LOL! But that's just me.
Kayla: (((Chuckle!))) When my boys are balking, I go look at the hotties in my photo albums. When they get jealous enough to behave, I'm more than willing to listen.
Deanna: Most of my stories have a theme song, do you do that for your characters?? If so what is it?
Kayla: For Alexios I listened to a Niyaz playlist. I wanted an exotic Mediterranean feel and didn't want to be distracted by lyrics.
Deanna: Tell us about a scene that you have written then afterward, when you read it, you shocked yourself? You know I want a dirty answer (((hint hint)))
Kayla: I've always written very explicit sex scenes so I'm not sure which one to pick. (((Stares off into space for a moment))) The final chapter to INFINITE INFATUATION is called "With This Ring" and features a PA…
Deanna: What's a PA?
Kayla: A Prince Albert piercing!
Deanna: Oh, I should have known that! Any other stories that got naughty?
Kayle: DIRTY POOL… It's the story of a fledgling D/s pair who goes into a leather bar. The Dom challenges other men to play pool and bets his sub's favors. Several men have their way with the young man bent over the pool table in a packed bar.
Deanna: I love your dirty mind, Kayla!!! Thank you so much for stopping by today and bringing these yummy drinks.
Kayla: I had a great time, Deanna. Thanks for having me.

When we went to dinner, I was handed the list. Always a challenge in a Chinese restaurant and this was no exception. There's no perfect match and the list was pretty thin, but these did okay and were quite reasonably priced. No need to break the bank when there's no really good match on the list.
- 2004 Leonildo Pieropan Soave Classico Superiore - Italy, Veneto, Soave Classico
Bright and light yellow with lemon and grass hints. Fresh and clean nose of white fruit, a wee bit of lemon, a fresh whiff of sweet grass, and some flowers. Palate entry is as bright and light as the color, with a saline mineral spine, fresh cut herb, bright apple, and a beautifully refreshing finish. Not big, not bold in any blockbuster sense. Just solid, clean, and refreshing. As good a counterpoint as could be found to the lighter dishes.
- 2003 Château Fortia Châteauneuf-du-Pape - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Deep, but clean and transparent red. Much lighter than the other '03 CdP's I've tried so far. Nose has a whiff of tar, followed by ripe red fruits (cherry, berry) and some piney herbs. Palate is richer than many Fortia of late, showing more of the red fruit and a bit of blacker berry, a hint of leather and some dust. Perhaps lacking a bit of concentration on the finish, this is much more in balance and much more drinkable now than most of its '03 cousins. Did the job, but not something to seek out. However, if ever there was a case where a wine was made for a vintage and a vintage for a wine, Fortia and '03 seem to be that case.
The Fortia was a huge hit. One other person and I basically had the Soave to ourselves. Okay by me!

These little painting/drawings in the works have been keeping me up late the past couple of nights, insisting on being brought into existence. Who am I to deny these odd moon-faced girls with their strange dollies? It would be lovely however if inspiration could strike a bit earlier in the day. Bedtime at 1:AM and Awaketime at 6:AM don't happily co-exist for long. Luckily, I have a job that encourages napping.
Been playing with clay too. Just putting the finishing touches on a Chihuahua head that is turning out larger than anticipated. Come to think of it, it's about the size of an actual Chihuahua's head. Well, maybe a Chihuahua puppy's head. Also, I'm trying to decide if that bearded fellow wants hair. I already know he wants a top hat, but he'll just have to wait his turn like the rest.
Hope you're all having a creative day, in some way or another.

This is an opportunity to increase our recruitment base, provide our students with a more diverse academic community and continue our mission by providing more services to underserved populations.
Harrogate, Tennessee (PRWEB) May 30, 2014
Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) and American Language Academy (ALA) of Greensboro, N.C., have entered into an agreement to promote enrollment of international students at both institutions.
ALA, an English language and American cultural studies school for post-secondary students with its main office and classroom space in Greensboro, N.C., and auxiliary classroom space on the campus of Guilford College, aims to bring its highly successful English language academy to LMU's main campus in Harrogate, Tenn., in the fall of 2014. ALA will operate independently, offering the academy's nine-week sessions five times a year. ALA students will be housed in the LMU residence halls and will have access to LMU learning, social and cultural resources.
"This is a crucial relationship for Lincoln Memorial University and an opportunity to increase our recruitment base, provide our students with a more diverse academic community and continue our mission by providing more services to underserved populations," said LMU Vice President for Academic Affairs Clayton Hess. "An English language institute on campus is important for LMU to meet its current and future goal. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to form this innovative partnership."
In addition to providing housing and an immersive experience for ALA students during their studies, LMU will offer preferred applicant status and a conditional letter of acceptance to LMU for graduates of the ALA program. For those who choose to apply to LMU as degree-seeking students, the University will consider successful completion of ALA's Level Five class to be proof of English proficiency. Other international students must submit a Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score. Applicants from the ALA program must meet all of the University's other admission requirements for international students.
While ALA has partnerships with ten other institutions of higher education, LMU will be the first where it will offer its complete program on site. Other academic partners include North Carolina A&T State University, Appalachian State University, ECPI University, Guilford College, High Point University, Living Arts College, Salem College, University of South Carolina at Aiken, SUNY Cobleskill and Tarleton State University.
"Our campus on LMU is a great opportunity for international students who are seeking a true immersion learning experience that will address the academic, cultural and social needs in a safe and nurturing environment," said ALA President John Ricci. "LMU's goal of diversity and cross-cultural understanding will benefit students from both institutions. We are looking forward to helping LMU achieve this goal."
ALA and LMU aim to be ready for students in October 2014, pending accreditation. ALA will be located in DAR Hall on the LMU main campus in Harrogate and students will be housed in Liles and West Residence Hall.
About LMU
Lincoln Memorial University is a values-based learning community dedicated to providing educational experiences in the liberal arts and professional studies. The main campus is located in Harrogate, Tennessee. For more information about the undergraduate and graduate programs available at LMU, contact the Office of Admissions at 423-869-6280 or e-mail at admissions(at)lmunet(dot)edu.
About ALA

August/September 2008
Provolone, Olive, and Spicy Pepper Skillet Pizza
Homemade pizza in just 30 minutes sounds like an impossibility. But with a little ingenuity, and a hot skillet, we accomplished the impossible.
Why This Recipe Works
Omitting the yeast from our Skillet Pizza created the thin crust we wanted, and the addition of baking powder to the dough gave us a light and crisp texture. To eliminate bubbles in the pizza dough, we used a fork to pop the bubbles as the first side cooked in the skillet—poking before cooking impeded the rise.
We replaced the water in the dough with a bold dark brown ale to add a strong yeasty flavor to the pizza dough. To keep the cooking process quick and simple, we topped the pizzas with potent no-cook ingredients: Fresh tomatoes (salted and drained to eliminate excess moisture) and basil worked as the base flavors and were easily dressed up with provolone, kalmata olives, and roasted red peppers. Soft cheeses melted best in the covered skillet, especially when we turned the heat down low after adding them so they melted without burning the bottom crust.

text: Problems Caused Chipmunks bite people if they feel threatened or trapped. If not treated correctly, these wounds become infected, which can lead to tissue damage. Swelling, redness, oozing, and fever are symptoms of infection. Other signs a person bitten by a chipmunk is experiencing infection include severe pain around bite sites, red streaks, and swollen lymph nodes. It is very rare for the pests to carry rabies, however it is possible. Chipmunk bites also cause tetanus on rare occasions, which is preventable with a vaccination. Treatment Individuals should wash bites with soap and warm water as soon as they occur. If pain persists more than a few days, visit a healthcare provider. Watch for signs the wound's getting redder, as this means an infection is setting in. Removal By reducing nearby chipmunk populations, people are less likely to come in contact with the pests or be bitten. The trained professionals at Critter Control should be called in at the first sign of infestation. Our technicians expertly remove any chipmunks and offer tops of preventing future run-ins with the pests. Learn more about chipmunk removal.


text: Women have always wanted to look stylish. Its quite true that since the last so many years, there has been a huge revolution in the hairstyles adopted by them. The hairstyle adopted by any woman should be in accordance with the time she can take out for the maintenance of her hair. Short hair requires lower maintenance whereas longer hair requires one to spend much more time washing and combing it. In addition, one should be happy with the kind of hairstyle adopted.

Texas Federal Court Upholds NLRB's 'Quickie' Election Rules
As we previously reported, on April 15, 2015, the National Labor Relations Board implemented new union election rules (Election Rules) that made sweeping changes to the Board's proceedings for processing election petitions, holding hearings, and conducting secret-ballot elections. At the time the Election Rules took effect, legal challenges to the Election Rules were pending in the United States District Courts for the District of Columbia and the Western District of Texas.
On June 1, 2015, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas issued its decision in Associated Builders & Contractors of Tex., Inc. v. NLRB, Case No. 1:15-cv-0026 (W.D. Tex.), rejecting all of the building associations' challenges to the Election Rules. While another case—Chamber of Commerce et al. v. NLRB, No. 15-cv-00009 (D.D.C. filed January 5, 2015—is still pending, given this ruling in favor of the NLRB upholding the new Election Rules, the court's decision in Associated Builders & Contractors of Texas is likely to lead to an increase in organizing activity in the coming months, as unions that were awaiting resolution of the legal challenges to the Election Rules resume or step up their organizing efforts. Since the Election Rules took effect, the median time from petition to election has been reduced to 23 days, and the number of petitions filed in the month after the Election Rules went into effect increased by 32 percent. We will continue to monitor this issue and report on it as it develops.
Proactive employers, it is important to prepare for the impact that the new Election Rules will have on your organization.

July 11 — Dawn Bennett, an investment adviser who protested an SEC enforcement action by not showing up, and her firm were hit with multimillion dollar penalties by an agency judge ( In re Bennett Grp. Fin. Srvs., LLC, SEC, Admin. Proc. File No. 3-16801, initial decision of default 7/11/16 ).
Bennett overstated the firm's assets under management in magazines and on the radio, and misstated the firm's profitability, then tried to cover it up once the Securities and Exchange Commission began investigating, Administrate Law Judge James E. Grimes found in a July 11 initial decision of default.
They overstated assets to give the impression they "were larger and more successful players in the industry than was actually the case," Grimes found.
Bennett and her firm, Bennett Group Financial Services LLC, didn't participate in the hearing that preceded the decision, but the SEC's Enforcement Division called 11 witness and introduced more than 300 exhibits.
Gregory Morvillo of Morvillo LLP, Bennett's attorney, didn't return a message seeking comment.
Grimes ordered Bennett and the firm to pay $556,000 in disgorgement. Bennett got slapped with a $600,000 civil penalty, with another $2.9 million penalty for the firm.
Bennett is also challenging the constitutionality of the in-house courts in federal court, claiming that the judges are hired in violation of the Appointments Clause.
She didn't succeed in halting the administrative proceeding during that challenge but argued in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in February that her "time-honored right to see a federal judge and assert that the proceeding is unconstitutional" was being stifled (30 SLD, 2/16/16).
The Second, Seventh and D.C. Circuits have rejected similar challenges, holding that the respondent must wait until the SEC's administrative proceeding concludes, with an opinion from the commission as well, to bring the constitutional claims (108 SLD, 6/6/16).

Schools sign up to conserve energy
K-12 schools in America spend an excess of $7.5 billion on energy costs each year, with as much as $2.25 billion (30 percent) being used unnecessarily, according to Energystar.gov. The Green Cup Challenge looks to change that. More than 100 schools across the country have vowed to slash their energy costs this year. Come mid-February the challenge ends, but every school that participates is deemed a winner for reducing energy use. Learn more at www.greencupchallenge.net.
Say 'oui' to camp
Summer is coming; and if you want to give your children a leg up in foreign language, enroll them in the French Institute Alliance Francaise's French summer day camp programs.

Demetaphorization as explicitating shifts in translation
'demetaphorization' is generally associated with congruent unpacking of grammatical metaphors (cf. Halliday, 1985; Halliday and Matthiessen, 1999, 2004)

This study investigates clause complexing and conjunctive explicitation in a speciallycompiled corpus consisting of two sets of Arabic translations and comparable non-translatedArabic texts both produced by the same translators/authors in the domainsof history and philosophy. Focusing on certain types of conjunctive markers, thisstudy seeks to find lexico-grammatical evidence of one of the translation-specificfeatures, i.e. features typical of translated language, in these selected target texts,using both parallel and comparable corpora.Adopting a Systemic Functional approach for analyzing logico-semantic relationsbetween clauses, clause complexes and sequences in Arabic, the study examinessome causal and concessive conjunctions and conjunctive Adjuncts in Arabictranslated and non-translated texts, and contrasts these with their English counterpartswith a view to identifying recurrent patterns or trends of 'explicitation', one of thefeatures that are arguably typical of translated texts.Baker (1996) suggests a number of translation-specific features, which manifestthemselves in translated texts on lexical and syntactic levels, and seem to be typicalof translated language in general. Evidence of one such posited feature, namelyexplicitation, is sought in the selected translators' handling of structural and textualconjunctive expressions in the English source texts. Thus, the primary aim of thepresent study is twofold: to examine from a systemic functional perspectivedifferences in the patterns of instantiation of clause complexing and conjunctiverelations in English source texts, their Arabic translations and Arabic non-translationsauthored by the same translators; and to investigate whether, and to what extent, thesedifferences are attributable to explicitation as a translation-specific feature.The originality of this study stems first from its focus on Arabic, thus addressing aconspicuous gap in corpus-based research on translation-specific features, which hasso far been largely confined to Indo-European languages. Secondly, being theorydriven,and specifically embedded in a systemic functional framework, the conceptionof explicitation adopted in this study constitutes a departure from the taxonomicapproach characteristic of a large body of literature on explicitation, which is neitherinformed nor motivated by a coherent theoretical framework, with the result that itoften engenders a flat model of description and classification, with vague overlappingcategories. Confirming the findings of earlier studies on explicitation, this study hasrevealed a tendency of explicitation features to cluster in various metafunctionalenvironments, with the overall effect of reducing vagueness or complexity, avoidingambiguity, and enhancing comprehensibility through enhanced conjunctivecohesiveness, reinforcement, expanded simplification or unpacking of complexconstructions.

Did that catch your attention? Perhaps bicycling through en François, flowers and the USPS would be a more appropriate hint…
Today's card was thoroughly inspired by a birthday card I received from one of my good friends Esther… I'll share that beautiful card and my initial response tomorrow… but today.. you have bicycles, literature, and flowers!Do you know the name of today's featured stamp set? It's Postage Due, and has been stampede using Midnight Muse Ink onto Comfort Cafe Designer series paper!! Isn't that fun? The Comfort Cafe DSP was stamped using the largest image from the Postage Due Stamp Set using Midnight Muse inked. I love the contrast on the striped background paper don't you? Postage stamp images were stamped in gumball green, midnight muse and Raspberry Ripple ink and punched using the postage stamp punch. After attaching in a random fashion to the comfort cafe dsp, the upper portion of the dsp was run through a big shot die-cutting machine encased within the square lattice embossing folder.
Today's tips for paper crafters:
To avoid a hard creased line when doing partial card stock or dsp embossing:
- IF you plan to attach extra pieces to the proposed embossed area (like the postage stamps in the sample shown).. do so first, and use multipurpose liquid adhesive to attach them. Allow the attached card stock to dry thoroughly before embossing to prevent shifting.
- Insert the "to be embossed" area into the embossing folder, leaving the non-embossed portion extended beyond the folder.
- Using the pre-defined embossing sandwich (check your sandwich for the big shot die-cutting machine vs.. competitive models for the proper sandwich….. vagabond, cuttlebug, etc.) with the 'loose' end leading towards the embossing or die-cutting roller.
- Your embossed card stock will come through the die cutting machine without creases and/or unusual markings.
Tomorrow I'll be sharing two cards… the inspiration piece for today's card and another Clean and Simple (CAS) sample as well. I look forward to reading your comments, and am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks again for your online orders!

Having studied business rather than a creative arts subject, Anthony Del Col is not exactly typical of those breaking into the comics industry, but in many ways, it is this difference which has been key to his success. Unlike many writers and artists, Del Col set out to get his comic, Kill Shakespeare with a good idea of what publishers and editors were looking for, sold it to them and, once he'd acquired a good deal, continued to take an active role in the marketing and promotion of his work. In a workshop at MCM London Comic Con, the co-creator of the Kill Shakespeare comics series offered his advice to budding creators on how to set about getting noticed by publishers.
Before developing Kill Shakespeare, a comic pitched as "The Justice League of Shakespeare", Del Col had never worked in comics or attended a convention, though he had been involved in the entertainment industry more broadly. Using this media industry experience, combined with his earlier business background, Del Col and his fellow Kill Shakespeare creator Conor McCreery managed to put together a professional-looking pitch package that helped them raise thousands from independent funding and enabled them to get their comic made.
Appropriately enough, the presentation started with the subject of pitching at conventions, with Del Col listing the best ones to go for. Out of the US cons, New York, Emerald City and Chicago were picked out as good choices, as opposed to San Diego, which has become much more concerned with film and television. Though those based in the UK may not have immediate plans to fly out to the States to sell their work, the basic principle here is applicable anywhere in the world – do your research to avoid wasting time and money on the wrong people in the wrong places.
About a month and a half after attending their first comic con (described by Del Col as a "sensory overload"), the two writers had managed to attract the interest of five different potential publishers. The reason for this? Well, partly, it was down to self-presentation: they had looked and acted like professionals at all times, avoiding the pitfall of seeming like "fanboys with an idea", but more important still was the quality of the documents they handed over to the publishers they met. Here's how Anthony Del Col describes the layout of a good pitch package.
First of all, it's important to keep the pages clean and tidy. Publishers and editors are busy people with tons of other proposals to read over. Put too much information on one page, and their eyes will instantly gloss over. Keep things short, clear and to the point: a good pitch package is around 10-15 pages in length, and a lot of that will be blank, white space.
The structure of your package should be something like this:
- Series synopsis – For your main series summary, you'll want to start by condensing your idea into one simple, single-line sentence, similar to a film or TV logline. A good way to think about this is as a Twitter pitch with a character limit, or as what Del Col calls "an elevator pitch". Imagine that you have 30 seconds alone in a lift with someone. How do you get across your idea before they step out? This can then be expanded into a longer paragraph, followed by a full-page description – these are the follow-ups that publishers will read if they think you've got a good idea.
- Individual issue synopses – Each of these should be about 1-2 paragraphs in length. Make sure each story idea is complete though. Publishers aren't concerned about spoilers, but they are worried about working with writers with half-baked ideas, so they want to be certain that you know how all your stories will end, even if your readers don't.
- Character designs and descriptions – A single line followed by a couple of short paragraphs should be sufficient to describe each character, and it's generally a good idea to place them in order of importance: main characters first, followed by supporting cast. These should be accompanied by some character sketches, preferably from two or three different angles.
- Sample pages – Five or six sample pages from one or two scenes are enough to give a sense of your style and themes, if well-chosen. Take care to ensure that these are representative of the series as a whole, so if you're writing an action comic, you might do well to choose a battle scene, while if your work is romantic, a love scene would be more appropriate. You can think of these samples as a sort of teaser, designed to interest the intended audience without giving too much about the main feature away. This is your chance to leave people wanting to read more.
- Marketing ideas – Think about who is going to buy your comic, because your publishers will want to develop a targeted marketing strategy. Probably the best way to do this is to look at what's already out there that could be compare to your work. In the case of Kill Shakespeare, there were obvious comparisons with other comics like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Fables. It's also a good opportunity to think about a "cross-sell", e.g. "The Lord of the Rings meets Shakespeare in Love". Based on this, it becomes clear that two good, potential audiences to target will be fans of other fantasy franchises, and those with an interest in Shakespeare, such as literature students or those in the theatre industry. Do make sure you pick out popular, successful titles, though: you won't do yourself any favours by comparing your work to something obscure.
Once you've handed out your perfect pitch package in person, it's a good idea to follow it up with an email to anyone who has expressed an interest, just in case they lose or forget about the document, particularly when they're likely to be travelling long distances home after the event.
The work doesn't end once you've got people interested, however. In this age of mass communications, creatives are increasingly expected to have a very public presence, and to participate directly in the promotion of their work. As Del Col put it himself, publishers "want to know that you'll hustle". Between the two of them, Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery attend about 20-30 comic conventions every year, as well as being active on social media, talking to the press (no publication is too small) and signing books for fans. Learning how to put together press releases has been a great help, since the media are "always looking for new ideas". They'll even speak directly to their retailers, another thing which Del Col feels has set them apart from the crowd, since retailers are rarely approached directly by creatives in this way.
Finally, two key lessons were instilled in us which, according to Del Col, were the most important things to take away from the workshop. The first of these was "branding". Always be aware of what is unique about you and your idea, and think carefully about how to present both. The second was "persistence". Getting published is not an easy thing to do, so don't give up when things seem tough. Success never happens overnight, and getting your work out to audiences takes a lot of time and effort. You'll find you'll probably spend at least as much time on marketing and promoting your work as you will on actually making it in the first place. Nevertheless, the feeling at the end of it all is definitely worth it!

I was on my way to find a tiny vintage camera shop that Jess had told me about. Somewhere deep inside one of the alleyways on this street is a tiny camera shop / cafe. The street itself is pretty neat. Its like you are watching the neighborhood slowly becoming gentrified one store front at a time. As you walk down the street, you notice small wine shops, a fish and chips bar, small cafes and french bakeries; all the while the area still feels very local with Shanghainese folks hanging out outside playing cards / chess and hanging laundry out to dry on the streets.

Consumers are being given new legal rights from today that will entitle them to a repair or replacement when digital products are faulty.
The Consumer Rights Act will bring digital purchases in line with physical ones which are covered by the Sales of Goods Act, created in 1979 before the advent of the internet.
The Department for Business Innovation & Skills said that shoppers are spending increase amounts of money on digital content. More than £2.8bn was spent on downloaded music, video and games in 2014 alone, an 18 per cent increase from the previous year.
The new law will also clarify rules around refunds, repairs or replacements of faulty goods. Consumers now have a 30-day window following a digital purchase to reject a faulty item and receive a full refund.
According to the department, researchers in 2014 found that shoppers had encountered more than 18 million problems with consumer goods and services in the preceding year. In total, this left consumers £4.15bn out of pocket.
The bill sets out a number of changes to the rules around consumer protection in addition to the 30-day window. These include:
- After 30 days retailers have an opportunity to repair or replace any faulty goods and if the attempts are unsuccessful, the consumer can claim a refund or a price reduction.
- There are clear rules around services if not carried out with reasonable care and skill as agreed with the consumer. The service provider will need to adhere to the original agreement or provide a partial refund.
- Consumers will be able to challenge terms and conditions which are not fair or are hidden in the small print.
Business Minister Nick Boles said: "Whether it's downloading music or buying a fridge freezer, the Consumer Rights Act makes it easier to understand your rights.
"UK consumers spend £90bn a month and it is important they are able to shop with confidence. These changes will also simplify the law for businesses so they can spend less time worrying about unclear and unwieldy regulations."
Richard Lloyd, executive director of the consumer product body Which? said the act was long overdue and needed to reflect the significant changes to shopping habits since mass adoption of the internet.
"Getting a refund or repair, dealing with issues with faulty digital downloads and understanding contracts should now all be much simpler," he said.
"Businesses must ensure their staff are aware of the changes so they're not caught out short-changing customers or breaking the law."

A driving-under-the-influence team, fielded jointly by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol and five South Bay police departments, arrested 80 people for drunk driving during the holiday period, according to the Gardena Police Department, which coordinated the program.
Operating between Dec. 20 and Dec. 31, the team--which also included officers from Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo and Redondo Beach--concentrated on a different area each day.
Special holiday task forces also were formed by police departments in Torrance and Inglewood to concentrate on drunk drivers.
Torrance police said 39 arrests were made by its task force during a two-week holiday period, while an additional 13 drunk drivers were arrested by regular patrol officers.
The task force in Inglewood, which operated from mid-November until the end of the year, arrested 96 people for driving under the influence, according to the department.
