Alan Earls

A VIRTUAL meeting gave young people across the region the chance to quiz Euro MPs in Brussels without leaving the north west.
Video conferencing facilities, supplied by Manchester specialist Videonations, provided the opportunity to hold a live link-up with north west MEPs during Local Democracy Week.
Ten youth groups won places on the Youth NoW Video Conferencing Partnership organised by the North West Regional Assembly with funding from the North West Development Agency.
Video conferencing allows individuals and groups to link up. All the participants can see and hear one another via a split-screen TV monitor.
The kit will also be available for the groups to develop their own projects as well as a series of themed regional link-ups connecting young people with MPs and north west decision makers.
The chairman of the regional assembly Coun Dave Quayle said: "At a time when we are told that voters are turned off by politics, it is really encouraging to see young people so anxious to get involved and make their views known to people in power."
And the meeting got the thumbs-up from all those in Brussels. Lib Dem MEP Saj Karim said: "This is a really imaginative use of new technology. It offers a great opportunity to discuss our work with young people and to learn first-hand about their hopes and concerns for the future."
And Labour MEP Gary Titley MEP said he too was encouraged by the event.
"It is often commented on that young people have no interest in politics, their communities or their future. This is why I'm so pleased to be involved in projects like this which disprove this misconception and reveal young peoples ever-present appetite to make a difference."
Arlene McCarthy, Labour MEP, said: "Europe plays a big role in all our lives and those of our young people. I believe that young people will understand the impact of Europe if they can see something in Europe for their own life prospects and their concerns for the future.
"This project gives young people the chance to do that, to ask us how Europe affects them and to tell us what matters to them."

In her own words...
Why commit to better balance?
Any significant change needs to be led from the top to embed it in the organisation. This issue has been on the table for a very long time and it is an issue that is crucial to business achieving its potential, as well as ensuring that 50% of the population has the same opportunities as the other 50%.
I believe when you are in a position of influence you are duty-bound to ensure you leave that business in a better shape than when you were appointed, and creating gender diversity in business is a key part of this.

THE Israeli Broadcasting Authority (IBA), has banned Israeli singer Moran Mazor from wearing a John Galliano dress when she performs at the Eurovision Song Contest next month. The designer had allegedly agreed to create a bespoke outfit for the musician, who will represent Israel at the annual contest, although Galliano's representative, Liz Rosenberg, said that nothing had been confirmed.
The IBA argues that it is unacceptable to allow Galliano - who was dismissed from his role at Dior in March 2011, after making anti-Semitic comments in a Paris café - to dress a Eurovision representative when racism and anti-Semitism is still prevalent in Europe. The designer has since apologised for his behaviour and has sought treatment for the alcoholism that led to his actions.
He recently returned to fashion in February this year, completing a temporary residency at Oscar de la Renta's New York design studio in the run-up to the label's New York Fashion Week show. Anti-Defamation League director Abraham H Foxman, which previously showed his support for Galliano's return, argues that the IBA should reconsider its views.
"Mr. Galliano has continued to work hard not only in changing his worldview, but in establishing relationships," Foxman told The New York Magazine. "It is great to see that he is now involved with Israeli artists. The Israel Broadcasting Authority must realise that this is a changed man - he has consistently shown us that he is taking steps to understand and grow from his mistakes and at this point, to continue to boycott him is not constructive."

It's been a year and now I'm back at it. I am drawing the line in the sand this winter. Every weekend I hope to be in the garage tinkering and posting the goings on.
Click HERE and scroll to the bottom of the page. You'll be looking for the November 11th - 18th, 2018 entry for the lastest updates.
The time off from the car, while unavoidable, has given me the break I needed from it. When you are doing this alone and only on weekends you tend to find any reason to do one of the 100's of other things on your to do list.
The time has probably created more work for myself, but what the hell.... its a hobby, and keeps me outta trouble!!
The new goal is to have it in paint by spring and on the road this summer. SO MUCH TO DO!

See inside a former Norwich MJB hotel which has been given a £675,000 makeover
PUBLISHED: 21:47 21 February 2019 | UPDATED: 11:18 22 February 2019
A former MJB hotel that once had some of the lowest customer ratings in Norwich has been given a £675,000 makeover.
The Lodge, on Unthank Road, used to be the source of multiple complaints about drug taking and prostitution while under the ownership of the MJB group.
But in 2017 it was purchased by developer Ben James, who has now refurbished the building in a bid to attract a different type of clientele.
Mr James, from Estateducation, said: "When we picked up the keys to this building it was not what I would call in the best condition. "We were facing black walls, black ceilings, mouldy carpets and rats coming out of the toilets.
"It was, what I would consider, a dire state of affairs."
He said £600,000 had been spent on construction costs while a further £75,000 went on furnishings.
The property will be made up of 19 serviced apartments, and will include an on-site gym and concierge service.
Mr James said he hoped to attract corporate or business travellers and will charge around £100 per night.
He said: "The apartments are fully furnished and fully equipped. The reason we do that is because we are looking for corporate and business travellers, as well as tourists, to make long stay bookings for up to a month."
The property, now known as Number 82 The Unthank, sits across the road from another former MJB hotel that was also purchased by Mr James - Bristol House.
Much like The Lodge, complaints had previously been raised about anti-social behaviour linked to the Bristol House hotel before it was taken on by Mr James.
Last year he was granted planning permission by Norwich City Council to convert the property into a 26-bedroom home, with a gym, cinema room and communal area.
Mr James said: "The reason I have invested a lot of time and money into Norwich is because I can see the growth that is going to occur in the area."

Vegetables and
Annual Flowers
Why Start Seeds?
There are lots of
reasons to start your own seeds indoors.
1. You like to grow unusual varieties. There are thousands and thousands of vegetable and flower varieties, yet relatively few of these are commonly grown by commercial growers to sell as transplants. So if you want to try that Moon and Stars watermelon or Candy Cane zinnia, you'll probably have to start them from seed yourself.
2. You like to get a jump on spring. Starting seeds indoors is a great way to brighten up late winter and get those gardening juices flowing.
3. You want to save money. Seeds cost less than plants. You can grow dozens of plants from a single packet of tomato seeds.
4. You enjoy it! And you can take pride in knowing you nurtured your vegetable and flower plants from seed.

Ephesians 1:15-23 ESV
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
The hope to which he has called you
What is the hope to which He has called those of us who are his saints, his faithful followers of Jesus Christ? Well, first of all this hope is not wishful thinking. It is confident assurance that what we expect to happen will indeed happen. We are certain of it, because God said it, and we believe him.
But, what is the hope? What all does it entail? I mean, what has he called us to?
Well, first of all, he has called us to belong to Christ (Rom. 1:6). This means that, through faith in Jesus Christ, we are now God's possession. For, when Jesus gave his life up for us on that cross, he bought us back for God. We are no longer our own to do with our lives whatever we want, but now we are to honor God with our lives. Jesus is now our Lord (master) and we are his workmanship, "created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:10).
We are also called to be saints, and the word "saint" is synonymous with the word "holy" (Rom. 1:7; 2 Tim. 1:9; 1 Thess. 4:7). And, that means to be set apart (unlike, different) from the world because we are being made to be like Christ. This means that we don't act or think like the world. We don't live like we did before we believed in Jesus Christ. We do not engage ourselves in what is unholy, ungodly, impure and dishonest. Instead, we are being conformed to the image of Christ in all that we do, and he is holy, pure, righteous, faithful, truthful, loving, kind and forgiving.
We are also called according to his purpose (Rom. 8:28). And, his purpose for us is that we die with him to sin and live with him to righteousness. His purpose is that we walk in fellowship with him and no longer in darkness. His intention for us is that we walk in freedom from the control of sin over our lives. And, his objective in saving us from our sins is that our lives, i.e. how we live them, would be for his glory and praise (2 Pet. 1:3; 1 Co. 1:9; Gal. 5:13; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1 Jn. 1:5-9).
Lastly, we are called out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Pet. 2:9; cf. Acts 26:16-18). We were not called merely to be forgiven our sins so that when we die we can go to heaven and not to hell. We were called to come out of our lifestyles of living to sin and self to walk in his light, in his purity and righteousness and holiness, becoming like Jesus in all that we are and do and think and say. This is the hope to which we are called, that we no longer have to live in sin, but now we can live holy lives, pleasing to God.
The riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints
So, what is our inheritance? Some people think it is merely that we get to go to heaven when we die. But, is that all there is to it? No!
Our inheritance first and foremost is God himself. For, when we believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, we are no longer separated from God, but now we have become a member of his household. God the Father is now our heavenly Father, and we are his children.
God/Jesus Christ, in the person of the Holy Spirit, now comes to live within us, so we are now his temple, his body, his church. Now we can come directly into God's presence. We don't need any human mediators between us and God. We now live in him and him in us, and thus we are in relationship with Almighty God. And, he counsels, leads, encourages, convicts, urges, and comforts us, and he shows us the way that is right for us to go. And, then he strengthens and empowers us to go the right way.
Our inheritance also is our salvation and eternal life with God. We have been delivered from the pit of despair and we have been given a new lease on life. Praise his holy name! Amen!
Sin no longer has dominion over us. Our chains are gone. We have been set free! Amen! We no longer must "struggle" with sinful addictions. Jesus' blood already paid the price for our sin so that we could be free of sin's grip on our lives. Now, in the power of the Spirit of God living within us, we must walk in that freedom which he provided for us.
The eternal life we have with God, as well, begins at the moment when we trust in Jesus Christ to be Lord of our lives. We don't have to wait until we get to heaven to experience this abundant life God has for us in Christ Jesus. We can walk in freedom from sin while we still live on this earth. We can have an awesome relationship with our Lord where we sit each day at his feet drinking in his words, and then we go out and do what they say. Sin no longer has mastery over our lives, for Jesus set us free! Amen!
The immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe
This is what so many people who call themselves Christians totally miss. They are convinced that becoming a Christian is not much different than when they were not Christians. The only real difference for them now is that they feel that they have the assurance of a home in heaven when they die.
How do I know this? Because it seems the vast majority of Christians (or professing Christians) in America talk as though Jesus never did set them free from sin. They behave as though they are still bound in the chains of sin with no way out. They continually live in defeat, addicted to porn and movies and entertainment, etc., and they find it peculiar if you speak with them about holiness and living lives separate from the world of sin.
They are convinced that "struggling" with sinful addictions, meaning that they regularly and consistently give in to defeat, that it is the norm, and so they must try harder if they want to experience true freedom. But, "trying harder" sounds a whole lot like operating in the flesh, and not in the Spirit. For, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! Amen!
It isn't that we need to try harder to stop doing stuff we shouldn't be doing and to do stuff that we should be doing instead. It is that we need to yield our hearts and lives over to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and we need to surrender to his will for our lives and do what he says to do or don't do. But, we don't do this in our own strength, for if we try, we will keep failing. We are only able to defeat sin because of the "immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe."
We just have to tap into that power, and we have to do what the Word says to do, and we have to cut out of our lives the things which are leading us into sin, first of all, and then stop doing what we know is wrong and start doing what we know is right, in God's strength within us. It is possible to walk in freedom. It does not mean we will never sin, but that sin will no longer be what controls or defeats us.
We just have to believe it, and to be assured (confident) of it, and then, in the power of God's Spirit living with us, act on what we so confidently believe. And, God will give us all the power we need to be free from slavery to sin and to now become slaves (servants) of his righteousness. Amen!

Hi RandiJo!
There are several different models of iPod® currently available. Since I don't know exactly what "reasonable price" means to you, I thought I would give you a couple of options:
First is the new nanos. They come in a variety of colors, and you have two capacity options; 8GB and 16GB. You can anticipate that you will be able to hold approximately 1 hour of video for every GB of available space, though this can vary a bit with video quality. The 8GB nano is currently $149.99, and the 16GB nano is currently $199.99.
Now I know you specified iPod®, but there are several other manufacturers of Mp3 players, and many of them produce video models. The reason I mention it is because we've got some Mp3 players currently available in our Outlet Center. (Look for a link at the top of the page on bestbuy.com.) You might find a deal that's just too good to beat!
And of course, we always offer financing. So if you decide to splurge, we can help you with that too.
I would love to hear what you end up getting!

As I discussed in my last post "Can I Leave My House or My Car Out of My Bankruptcy?" the Bankruptcy Code requires that a debtor truthfully disclose all of his debts, assets, income, and expenses. One cannot choose to leave a given debt or asset "out" of her bankruptcy case. Not only is the bankruptcy debtor required to sign his bankruptcy petition, affirming under penalty of perjury that it truthfully and accurately discloses all assets, debts, creditors, income and expenses, but the debtor is again required to testify under oath at his section 341 Meeting of Creditors that he has truthfully listed all of these items in his bankruptcy petition.
But what happens if a debtor unintentionally omits a particular debt or creditor from her bankruptcy filing? Although our San Francisco Bay Area bankruptcy attorneys take great care to help our clients list every debt—we purchase an up-to-date, comprehensive credit report for every client, for example—there are valid reasons why a particular creditor may be unknown to the debtor, and may not even appear on his credit report. Some claims against the debtor may be dubious or disputed. Some debts may have been bought and sold so many times by third party bill collection agencies that the most recent collector hasn't even yet identified itself to the three credit bureaus.
There are a number of valid reasons why a particular creditor or debt may be unknown or uncertain to the debtor when we prepare and file his bankruptcy petition. But what happens to this debt, if it is unintentionally omitted from the bankruptcy filing? If the case is still open while the debtor learns the identity of the creditor claiming such an inadvertently omitted debt is owed, we can amend the bankruptcy petition to include that debt and the creditor's identity. The Bankruptcy Court does impose a small filing fee of $30 for amending the bankruptcy petition to include such a debt, but amending is far less costly than later arguing with the creditor over whether the debt was discharged after the bankruptcy case has closed.
What about an unintentionally omitted debt that is never included in the bankruptcy case? If the debt was not listed, then that creditor most likely never received any notice of the debtor's bankruptcy filing. What to do when that omitted creditor later attempts to collect the unlisted debt? In some jurisdictions, this situation may necessitate a costly reopening of the bankruptcy case in order to schedule the unlisted debt. The bankruptcy attorney will have to file a motion to reopen the case, will likely bill the client for this additional work, and the Bankruptcy Court may or may not grant permission to reopen an list the debt.
Fortunately, in California, because we practice bankruptcy law in the Ninth Circuit, we may rely on a case called In Re Beezley, 994 F.2d 1433 (9th Cir. 1993). That case holds that with respect to Chapter 7 cases, as long as the omission of a creditor was unintentional, and as long as the bankruptcy case meets certain criteria, then the unlisted debt is discharged regardless of whether the creditor ever received notice of the bankruptcy filing or not. First, the bankruptcy case must have been a Chapter 7 "no asset" case (meaning there were no assets over and above what the debtor was allowed to exempt and keep). Additionally, there must have been no basis for the creditor of the unlisted debt to have challenged the dischargeability of the debt under Bankruptcy Code section 523(a)—such as fraud by the debtor. As long as these criteria are met, the debtor is not required to reopen her bankruptcy case in order to list an omitted debt. The debt was discharged under the "blanket" Chapter 7 discharge, and the creditor may not collect that discharged debt.
Note that I am only talking about debts that are unintentionally omitted from a bankruptcy filing. If a particular debt is intentionally omitted from one's bankruptcy petition, such omission can not only operate to make that debt nondischargeable (meaning the debtor will still owe that debt), but worse, such an intentional omission could be treated as a bankruptcy crime and criminally prosecuted.
Consumer bankruptcy is complex. Which is why it is critical that if you are considering filing bankruptcy in the Bay Area, that you get good advice from experienced bankruptcy attorneys. Call us today to schedule a free initial consultation.

The centre-back, who helped Juventus beat the Nerazzurri on Sunday, was highly critical of Erick Thohir for cancelling the swap deal at the last minute
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has launched a stinging criticism of Inter owner Erick Thohir for pulling the plug on the swap deal involving Fredy Guarin and Mirko Vucinic in January.
Guarin was set to go to the Scudetto holders with Juve striker Vucinic going the other way, but the San Siro side chose not to go ahead with the deal due to fan protestations despite the clubs having reached an agreement.
Chiellini, who scored the second goal in the Bianconeri's 3-1 win at home to the Nerazzurri on Sunday, wished Inter's Colombian attacker all the best and hit out at Thohir for the way he handled the scrapped transfer.
"I wish the best to Inter and especially Guarin," the Italy international, 29, told Sportmediaset.
"Guarin, along with Vucinic, was the victim in a surreal situation where he [Thohir] toyed a bit too much with the lives of two men."
Roma's suspended match with Parma on Sunday meant that Antonio Conte's men extended their lead at the top of Serie A to nine points with their victory over Walter Mazzarri's side.

The new Gillette ad has opened a debate on toxic masculinity.
This got us thinking whether our website is part of this toxic masculinity and we came to a conclusion that we are. But, we are not alone, society loves toxic masculinity but we pretend to hate it.
Scholars have used the term toxic masculinity to refer to stereotypically masculine gender roles that restrict the kinds of emotions allowable for boys and men to express, including social expectations that men seek to be dominant (the "alpha male") and limit their emotional range primarily to expressions of anger.
We did some research and found a number of studies that show women actually like certain aspect of toxic masculinity.
Alpha male
A 2010 study from the University of Wales Institute found that men pictured with a Silver Bentley Continental GT were perceived as way more attractive than those pictures with a Red Ford Fiesta ST.
And a 2014 study from Cardiff Metropolitan University found that men pictured in a luxury apartment were rated more attractive than those in a control group.
A 2011 University of British Columbia study revealed a curious finding: Heterosexual men and women prefer different emotional expressions on potential mates.
This study found that men who had an expression of pride were more attractive to women taking part in the study. Sure too much pride can be a bad thing, but a man who believes in himself is more likely to be successful with women despite this being a trait of toxic masculinity.
A 2014 study led by researchers at the University of Alaska at Anchorage found that women are attracted to men who take what the researchers call "hunter-gatherer risks."
It seems that society seems to like aggression, we love seeing a big tackle in football, we jump in excitement when Lebron dunks on someone.
"Hunter gatherer risks" include mountain biking, deep-sea scuba diving, and extreme rollerblading. The respondents in the study said they found men who take part in more dangerous activities were more attractive.
The thing women in the study found less attractive were modern risks which included plagiarising an academic paper, casually handling chemicals in a lab, and not updating the virus-protection software on your computer.
What these studies show us is that there is nothing wrong with masculinity, and the phrase 'toxic masculinity' is a generalisation of a complex issue. There are some male behaviours that need to be eradicated, but there also some male behaviours that society appreciates.

Effects of fluid slippage at a solid/fluid interface can hardly be observed in macroscopic dynamic wetting. In this talk, we will discuss how slip can have significant effects on dynamic wetting in small-scaled fluidic systems. Two cases will be presented:
- spontaneous dewetting of microdroplets
- forced dewetting in a tube. In the regime where the slip length is close to the characteristic size of the system, varying the slip length can significantly alter the profile evolution of a droplet or the transition velocity of forced dewetting. We give explanations in terms of the change of flow structure inside the fluid.

In 2013, when Man of Steel was released, I wrote about the challenges of adapting Superman for modern audiences. After a mixed bag of movies, it seems like Warner Bros is ready to cut bait and move on from this iteration of Krypton's most famous son. Or maybe not? Now, Ben Affleck is apparently looking to bail as well. Who knows. The fact of the matter is, the DCEU is a dumpster fire.
Which is unfortunate because, unlike the MCU, Warner Bros actually owns all the IP rights to the DC characters. It should've been them leading the way of the shared cinematic universe, not Marvel, who didn't even own the rights to Spider-Man when this whole trend got going. The MCU built perhaps the biggest box office juggernaut in Hollywood history off the backs of second-tier characters. What the hell happened?
We can talk about the shortcomings of Zack Snyder, Superman's CGI mustache, or getting a trailer company to edit Suicide Squad, but, ultimately, it all comes down to storytelling. The mistake studios have made trying to ape the MCU is to think that a shared cinematic universe is a substitute for storytelling. The reason why we enjoy watching Thor and Hulk fight is because we care about the characters. The MCU released five movies before The Avengers, giving each character the opportunity to establish an arc and grow.
The DCEU tried to skip all that hard work by going from Man of Steel right into Batman v Superman, where they not only re-booted Batman but also introduced Wonder Woman and teased the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. It was too much, too soon and painfully sloppy.
The worst offender for this, however, is Universal's Dark Universe. They just went right for it in the first (and last?) movie, The Mummy. I mean, who are these characters? Why do I care? Why is Dr. Jekyll talking about the Knights Templar and the Bride of Frankenstein. It's like going on a first date with a Tinder match and before you have drink they're all ready talking about a guest-list for your wedding.
Say what you will about the MCU and how it's the ruination of cinema, blah blah blah, but they certainly earned their universe by going through the proper steps. By and large, the MCU really gets that a shared cinematic universe is a means towards the end of great storytelling.
Nerdwriter did a great video addressing this problem of elevating universe building over storytelling. He calls it "weaponized intertextuality" wherein movies make references to other movies, characters, significant objects, etc. to achieve a certain "frisson" in the audience. Basically, instead of trying to tell a story it's just a bunch of "whoa, sick reference, bro!" Consequently, you end up with something like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 where it's just a bunch of teasing for a movie that never comes. Or, worse, Ready Player One. But the less said about that the better.
These problems continue to exacerbate as the epidemic of cinematic universes continues. And we're seeing more diminished returns from audiences. Solo was the first financial failure of the Star Wars films. Why? Probably because instead of telling us a story about Han Solo, we got a bunch of wink, wink, nudge, nudge. "Hey that's the Kessel Run! Hey that's the costume Lando wore while infiltrating Jabba the Hut's palace! Holy shit, Darth Maul!" And on, and on, and on.
It all feels so cynical. And what's worse is that these are beloved characters. I often resent the possessiveness fandoms show over their favourite characters, and I'm certainly not naive about the relationship between capitalism and film, but at a certain point you have to say enough is enough. I love the Star Wars universe. I'd watch an origin story about Bib Fortuna so long as the story was good.
And that's the problem with the DCEU. With the exception of Wonder Woman (which I loved), the emphasis always seems to be "How can we build this universe?" I'd like to believe that the creative team have their hearts in the right places; I can imagine many non-commercial reasons why you'd mistake universe building for storytelling. Nonetheless, if you want to avoid your cinematic universe from collapsing into a Big Crunch then you'd better rise above "sick reference, bro!"

Courses for M.S.Ed. English as a Second Language
The faculty of the School of Education take pride in the curriculum they teach. Whether just beginning in the field of education as an undergraduate student or pursuing a graduate or doctoral degree, the coursework will prepare students to confidently and effectively make a difference in classrooms, school districts, and communities.
|Course Number
|Course Title
Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners
This course is designed to provide you with the outlook, knowledge, skills and dispositions needed to work effectively in K-12 ESL or mainstream settings. It integrates theory and research with practical classroom applications to address ESL specialists' needs to work effectively with culturally and linguistically diverse learners. More specifically, this course will address how ESL learners' gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, socio-cultural backgrounds and so forth, as well as their power relations, identities, motivations, attitudes, anxieties, aptitudes, learning styles/strategies, beliefs, and their L2 socialization affects or relate to their success in both ELL and content areas. By doing this, it aims to enable ESL specialists to facilitate learning among students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. It is also designed to encourage you to acknowledge, respect, appreciate and incorporate diversity in your work as educators. In addition to other class assignments, this class requires frequent reflections on linguistically and culturally diverse ESL learners in specific classrooms and case studies and exploration of current cutting-edge research incorporating theory and learner-centered practice in SLA. Students are expected to engage in extensive reading, research, in-class discussion and self- evaluation as well as individual and/or group projects and on-line asynchronous discussions.
Theories and Practice of Second Language Learning
This course will include nine major components that encompass all aspects of SLA from theory to practice: 1- a comparison of first and second language acquisition processes; 2- second language development models such as First Language, Attention, Experience, and Social Theories as well as CPH/Maturation, Ecological Theory, Chaos Theory, and Inter-language 3- language teaching settings, and learner variables including cognitive styles, motivation, identity, attitudinal orientations, language socialization, learning strategies; 4- integrating academic language, culture and literacy skills in content classes; 5- approaches and methods in language teaching - from Grammar Translation to current trends including Content-Based, Learner-Centered, and Task-Based Approaches; 6- planning and teaching receptive skills (listening, reading), productive skills (speaking and writing), and complementary skills (vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation); 7- ESL materials evaluation, selection, design, and development; 8- CALL and ESL instruction; and 9- readings on current developments in ESL teacher education (to be determined by students and instructor).
ESL Curriculum and Assessment
GESL 512 provides a general overview of curriculum and assessment in ESL education. More specifically, the first half of the course focuses on theoretical and practical issues related to the ESL curriculum, including the origins of language curriculum development, students' needs analysis, learning situation and setting analysis, planning goals and learning outcomes, ESL course planning and syllabus design, instructional materials selection, adaptation and development, and approaches to language program evaluation. The second half of the course, on the other hand, sheds light on the processes of language testing, including teaching and testing, kinds of language tests, validity, reliability and backwash effect in L2 testing, stages of test development, common test techniques, testing productive, receptive and complementary language skills. It also touches upon currently debated assessment and evaluation issues such as testing overall L2 proficiency, age and L2 testing, standardized tests, and process-oriented assessment: dynamic, authentic and portfolio assessment. In this course, students will also get a working knowledge of the application of fundamental L2 curriculum development and testing principles to particular L2 settings and language skills with actual data sets and exercises in several class sessions.
Sociolinguistics and the ESL Classroom
This course addresses the relationship between language use and the social world. It provides an overview of the main topics of sociolinguistics and an introduction to the most important methods used in sociolinguistic research and analysis. The lectures will be built around a discussion of topics and notions, such as the speech community, dialect, code-switching, language variation, pidgins and Creoles, bilingualism, multilingualism, diglossia, address systems, language and gender, language planning, language maintenance, and language shift. The course also covers an introduction to the basic levels of language (phonetics and phonology, morphology and semantics, syntax, pragmatics) with special emphasis on the relevance of linguistic concepts to education. Students will explore the relationships between language and society as well as between sociolinguistics and education by assigned readings, classroom discussions, written assignments, oral presentation, and final examination.
Integrated Literacy in the Content Areas
Since the purpose of this course is to integrate ESL teaching strategies into content-area instruction, it provides opportunities for participants to tailor content-area instruction and to design appropriate curriculum to meet the needs of ESL students. Participants in this course, thus, will explore theories, experience the research, and integrate literacy in the content areas teaching to help ESL learners. To prepare ESL students to cope with the academic mainstream, ESL teachers must help the learners acquire not only the language skills, but also the critical thinking and study skills required in content-area classes. This course explores strategies and approaches using to help ESL learners so that ESL students can benefit from inclusive classes. They will also develop ability to communicate their understanding of integrating literacy in the content area to students, parents, content area teachers, and administrators. Content area language instruction will cover ESL teaching in several areas including Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening and Science, Mathematics, Social studies, and Physics.
Advanced Grammar and Applied Linguistics
This course aims to support current and prospective graduate students in expanding their knowledge and skills in three main areas within TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages): 1. Advanced English Grammar, which explores the associated metalanguage of grammar and pedagogical principles for teaching grammar to L2 users as a tool for communication; 2. Key Applied Linguistics concepts and areas, such as the NS/NNS dichotomy, the role of identity in language acquisition and use, critical Applied Linguistics, and alternative approaches to language acquisition; and 3. Qualitative and quantitative inquiries and paradigms in Applied Linguistics.
Teaching English as a Second Official Language Methods
This course provides instruction on TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) methods, focusing on receptive and productive skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. Additional attention will be given to vocabulary. Class sessions will focus on practice related to these five important skills. Educational philosophy behind the suggested methods will be discussed.
Practicum in ESL
Supervised teaching experience designed for persons who hold an Instructional I or Instructional II teaching certificate and are extending certification to ESL Program Specialist. Prerequisite: approval of faculty advisor.
Technology and Education
Examines the pedagogy of teaching digitally, the use of technology as a teaching strategy for the classroom, and the impact of school-related legislation and leadership roles available in instructional technology.
Instructional Design
"Instructional Design is a ""hands-on"" course. As such, you will work on assignments to address some of the key issues confronting educators with respect to the design and implementation of technology-based lessons in the classroom. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of technology-based instruction by examining the pedagogy of teaching and the use of technology as a teaching tool. The instructional design theories that are introduced are equally applicable to education, training and learning in general. However, this course was designed specifically around the application of these theories and practices in the teaching of children. Blending these theories, participants design instructional materials that take full advantage of their target population's learning strengths, and help their learners master the material and identified learning objectives. The design activities are provided to guide you in the development of an overall unit of instruction and how the particular lesson you will create in this course fit into the grand scheme of the identified unit of instruction. "
Instructional Application of Technology
Participants will prepare technology-based instructional lessons in K-12 subjects (Math, Science, English and Social Studies). They will integrate their understanding of instructional design and delivery with basic learning theories.
Theories, Models, and Instruction of Writing
This is a graduate course that will guide you – whether you are a future staff developer or K-12 preservice or inservice teacher – in how to support children's writing and teach writing in your grade level, content area, and/or school. This course is "writing intensive" and will require a substantial amount of homework. The focus of the course is on the genres of nonfiction/information writing, fiction and poetry. Prerequisites include at least two undergraduate or graduate courses in reading or language arts. While the course is open to all graduate school of education candidates, it is a requirement for those candidates pursuing certification as a reading specialist, for it is often the expectation and administrative structure for reading specialists to be one of the school's leaders and staff developers in the teaching and assessment of writing. Utilizing an intensive writing and workshop format, sessions will model how to make students better writers and thinkers through writing. Because one cannot teach what one does not know, much of the course will involve us engaging in the writing process ourselves. Modeling the link between reading and writing, genre topics will involve study of authentic texts and literature. The course is highly collaborative, as you will conference with the instructor as well as with other students in the class.
Disciplinary Literacy
This course is designed to provide teachers and reading specialists with background knowledge and application of "best practices" related to secondary reading instruction. The reasons why some students struggle with reading at the secondary level is one of the major emphasis of this course. To understand the current science-based methodologies to increase a student's reading level; which include the development of instructional strategies related to phonological awareness and phonics, fluency, vocabulary and morphology, comprehension, writing, study skills and assessment.
Adolescent Literature
Evaluation and selection of books and related materials in the subject fields of science, arts, and the humanities, with special reference ot the interests of high school youths.

It is really hard for a supercar to qualify as a hypercar. Hypercars are the stick against which all cars are meant to be measured. Makes sense, but it is missing something in this day and age where lines have blurred as technology advances and even everyday cars seem sporty.
Ultimately, ordinary cars are engineered for comfort, fuel economy, passenger space, and cargo space. True sports cars will have minimal cargo space, minimal seating and performance characteristics that drive most of the decision making car companies went through to build it. Sporty Compact Cars Small sports cars are so much fun. Compact and relatively affordable this is how most of us first experience the supercar bug in real life for ourselves.
Supercar Supercars are the best of the best in the automotive world. A race-car level of performance is just the first hurdle and not the only qualifier. Today it seems people are quick to apply the supercar moniker to a wide range of cars the Nissan GT-R and Corvette Z06 are not supercars folks. A Ferrari California is no supercar. Supercars are mystic creatures. They have an air of mystery.
SUVs harnesses utility attributes and powerful engine performance. Luxury and sports car makes are increasingly launching SUVs to their well-heeled clients. Now, a newer and even sportier supercar makers are getting involved. Bentley and Lamborghini come to mind, both launching SUVs soon.

A List Of Mighty Search Engine Optimization Tips
What's the use for having a website no one can find? To ensure your investment pays for itself, you must rank highly on search engines. Therefore, it is important to understand the ways that search engines rank. The following advice can boost your rankings via search engine optimization methods.
If you want SEO to help increase the traffic to your website, you need to code it appropriately. A site that is primarily written in messy JavaScript will be difficult or impossible for spiders to index. If there is a large amount of Flash content on your site that lacks an alternate textual description, it will not be indexed at all.
When using SEO techniques on your page, don't fall for adding lots of extra advertising to boost your rankings in the search engines. Advertising may increase traffic; however, it does not affect your search engine ranking.
In order to fully optimize your site, you must focus on keyword density. Keywords should total 20% or less of the entire article.
One of the most important elements of the optimized site is appropriate keyword density. The total use of keywords on any given page should be less than 20 percent.
Incorporate one or two of your keywords into your domain name. After all, you want people to find your website easily. Not everyone will come to your site through links or ads; you need to be prepared for users coming in through searches for your product.
Search Engines
Make sure you know how experienced they are. Be aware of the risks that are involved, so you will be able to make an informed decision.
You should make sure that you are using SEO style writing, so that you will be improving your ranking in the search engines. This means that keywords should be repeated as often as you can without making the flow of the writing stilted. One reason using keywords will improve your rankings on search engines is that search engine spiders work by locating and weighting keywords.
It is important to hold the attention of your visitor. Not only do you want to encourage people to visit your website, you also want to encourage them to come back. Content is king, as a result.
A domain name which contains your keywords can be a real boost to your efforts. The website needs to be easily located by anyone who is searching for it. Visitors may be drawn through ads, but are also often drawn by using a keyword search for your type of product.
If you want to have successful SEO results, you need a site map. It makes it much easier for the search engine's spiders to crawl through your website's information. Larger sites should have several maps. You should generally limit the number of links on any given site map to 100.
Increasing your PageRank depends upon increasing the amount of site traffic you have, as well as keeping visitors on your site for an extended period of time. It seems the length of time someone remains on a website (according to site metric scores such as Quantcast, etc.) alters the page rank for the better. ) has some bearing on the site's Page Rank. Forums and message boards are great ways to keep visitors engaged with your site for long periods of time.
Use title tags that are relevant to your content. This helps your search rankings because the web crawlers are better able to know what your page is about. Keep your text down to 60 characters or less, since many search engines cut off the content at that point. They also tend to give less weight to terms after that point.
When performing search engine optimization, each page of your website must include meta description tags. These description tags are important, as they show up below the title of your page in search engine results. Your meta tags should be useful and true. This should increase traffic to your site with minimal effort.
Site maps make the website easier to navigate and increases the traffic to your different pages. Every separate webpage on your site appears as a link on such a map. When visitors notice the links on your page, it can significantly increase your site traffic.
Search Engines
Keep the focus of each page on a single subject or product. It really is a mistake to try to cram in each of your services or products into just one posting. It confuses clients and prevents them from returning. Focus on one product per page.
Flash shouldn't be used. Flash isn't read by the spiders and won't be indexed. To properly optimize a site for the search engines, the content must be crawlable and visible to the search engines.
Develop a site map to make it easier for the search engines to index your pages. A site map could be a navigation bar, or for sites with a lot of pages, it could work like and index that has links to each page. This helps search engines follow links all the way through your entire site. A site map will help rankings, no matter how small the site is.
Adding a site map to your website is a highly important search engine optimization step. Search engine spiders will be able to access your content much easier with a text based map of your site. If your site is particularly large, you may need multiple maps. You don't want more than 100 different links for each map.
Try including transcripts for videos or audio you post to your site. Search engines will scan the transcripts and recognize keywords that are related to your site's niche.
Site Map
Proofreading is something that is often forgotten, but it is a very important part of running a quality website. Make sure your website is readable by both man and machine. Spell your keywords correctly and avoid obvious grammar mistakes. Otherwise, you risk having search engines lower your site's ranking.
Make a site map to help the search engines index your site's pages. A site map, or navigation bar, helps the search engines find all of the pages of your site. You will increase your search engine rankings by including a site map, no matter how large or small your site.
To avoid the spam filters of the search engines, avoid duplicating any content on your site. You might not even realize that you are using the same material over and over. Repeating the same product description can save time, but search engines see it as spamming.
Think as a consumer when selecting search engine optimization keywords. Look into what potential customers are likely to put into a search engine in order to find a site like yours.
Image links are not good for search engine optimization. The only purpose an image link serves is to store the URL of a linked file. This is not as beneficial when search engines index them.
The parameters and indexing traits sought out by search engine algorithms have a specific purpose in the indexing of websites. To perfect those results, try using definite commands that can help the users find you in the relevant results.
You must focus on producing interesting content for humans when you are thinking about search engine optimization. It is essential to include the keywords for the bots, but the bots are not your customers. You want to be able to easily read your site. If it's not, you'll be doomed to failure.
An easy way to boost your page ranking immediately is to buy a previously owned domain name that already has a good reputation. A domain name that's been around for two years or more is automatically given a higher page rank. Do a search of recently dropped domain names, and see whether any of the listed domains will serve your website.
Social media sites are a valuable tool in search engine optimization. Twitter and Facebook are completely interactive, and the video sharing site YouTube is an effective way to showcase your product.
The strategic placement of keywords in the content on your website and within your blogs can have a significant impact on the amount of traffic driven to your site by search engines. Use keywords at the beginning of your text, but avoid stuffing. A good strategy is placing your keyword at least twice in the first paragraph. You should continue to use the keyword throughout the body of the text, however, it should flow naturally and not feel stuffed or repetitive.
If you have a sub-hosted website and you purchase a domain for it, request your host to forward the old site to your brand new domain. This gives all of your visitors that ability to continue to find your website easily through their old shortcuts or bookmarks. You can also add redirect pages to your old domain and automatically direct users to your new site from your old one.
Do not publish an article more than once on your site. Google considers this cheating, so your Page Rank might suffer as a result. Having people link to two different pages for the same content will also dilute your incoming link count, which will further drop your Page Rank.
Search engine optimization is a core online marketing concept. Putting the proper keywords throughout your content will give you a higher ranking on search engines, giving you more traffic. This improves your site's search engine ranking which, by extension, directs more people to your business.
Each page on your website should be optimized for one keyword phrase. Too many keywords leads to confusing and under-developed pages. Worrying about just one topic tends to cause you to produce better content, which will cause your readers to continue coming back because they will be satisfied with what they are finding. Though search results are important, having visitors who return frequently is even more important.
While search engine optimization is important, don't lose sight of what your true purpose of your website is. You began your website with a goal to achieve something, provide information, a product or a service, not to just be the most popular, so keep that in mind. If you have a website that ranks high, this will happen, but you also need genuine content that is continuously updated on your site. The most useful way to earn a top spot with SEO is to present content that is very useful, interesting and up to date. Make sure you update your content.
Search Engine
All inbound and internal links should use a keyword phrase. " as anchor text. This will help the search engines see your links and additional keywords as being relevant, which will get you higher search rankings. Every so often, check through the internal links on your website, and make sure all of them are using keyword links too.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is a way to market online. Increase your search engine rankings by strategically placing keywords and phrases. Correct keyword usage will drive the correct visitors to your site.
This tactic will boost your rankings by search engines. In many search engines, the meta description appears right under the hyperlink for the website, so make it inviting for searchers to click onto your site. Many web design tools give you the ability to change these meta descriptions right in the editing box.
If you go the link directory route to build backlinks, verify the legitimacy of the directories you use by checking to see if its sites are useful and interesting. There are directories out there that contain many websites that are either outdated or have are very poorly designed. Take care to select good affiliates.
If you find it tough to write great content and get your blog optimized simultaneously, there are a few things you can do. It is best to focus on writing good content and working on SEO later. If your website consists of nothing more than a string of keywords, nobody will bother taking a second look.
When it comes to description META tags, there needs to be a unique tag for every page. Not using different tags can mean lower search engine ratings.
Get more traffic onto your site with SEO. The ideal goal for most is to get high rankings in the free search engines: you then have a continuous stream of free targeted traffic. However, it can take considerable effort and time to master search engine techniques to achieve this position. Using a "pay per click" type of search engine can help boost your website almost immediately. This will cost you continuously. Watch the results and adjust bids, if you need to.
As you can now see, search engine optimization methods are essential for realizing success on the Web. With the tips you've read here, you should now be prepared to make the changes that need to be made. You will be rewarded with better results and more visibility.
RSS feeds are a great tool to have when owning a website. RSS feeds are syndication feeds that allow people to track interesting threads. RSS feeds that are regularly updated count as new content. You can create your own feed where you post information about related topics, if you cannot find a good feed to add to your website. Let everyone know that they can subscribe to your RSS feed.

Regency Slash Prices as Car Hire Charge Triples During Holiday Season
A consumer report has shown that from June to August the price of hiring a car can increase as much as 176%, making the process of hiring a car a pretty pricy activity.
We hire these 'around town' cars to make holidaying just that little bit easier, ensuring that our activities and excursions are dictated by us and achieved in the timeframes set out on our holiday agenda.
The thought of having to rely on taxis and busses can influence that sense of stress that is usual when away with the family. However with rates on such a dramatic increase the future is pretty bleak for budget holidays with car hire firms recognising just how much their products are in demand.
The average hire price was £50 for a 50-year-old for a week in June. In August, it increased to £138. Malaga airport saw similar increases, rising from £49 in June to £123. This is an increase of 152 per cent and is angering consumers greatly, feeling that they are being used to make additional profit.
Faro airport in Portugal saw prices rise by 109 per cent for hiring a small car, starting at £64 in June rising to £134 in August. A large car went from £148 to £280, an increase of 89 per cent. This has come as a great shock to us all, not wanting to go abroad as a result.
Holidaymaker Lois Dacruz says:
'I have been going to Spain every year for the last four years with my husband and two children. We have always hired cars abroad to make our time away less stressful. We usually pay around 250 pounds for the week but this year we have been quoted no less that 400 pounds. I can see why people are more inclined to stay at home'
These prices are just ridiculous and even though the types of families shopping for hire cars are able to afford these prices it is the principle that is becoming frustrating. Families with disposable income know the value for money, therefore are steering towards other car hire options, and choosing to incorporate an element of style during the British summer.
As Brits we are illustrating a stronger passion for our country, spending the summer months residing in the UK rather than flying abroad. Although holidays usually serve as an out of the ordinary experience holidaymakers are filling this gap by hiring beautiful cars.
With the money saved by staying within the UK families are treating themselves to car hire with a difference, not going with the boring hatchback but a supercar.
Trevor, the Sales Manager at Regency puts this new trend in trip planning down to money.
'With the price of both flying and renting a car abroad dramatically increasing many feel that the cards are being stacked against them. We at Regency heavily promote the British holiday and what better way to experience the beautiful roads of the UK than in a beautiful car.'
On the back of these finding Regency have cut their prices, seeing consumers offered competitive prices for self-drive sports car hire.
Contact Regency today and book your self-drive Ferrari or Lamborghini.
