Santa Maria di Leuca
|This article does not cite any sources. (February 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Santa Maria di Leuca, often spelled simply Leuca (Greek: Λευκή, from Leukos, "white"), is a frazione of the comune of Castrignano del Capo, in the province of Lecce (Apulia), southern Italy. A part of the town once belonged to the comune of Gagliano del Capo.
Santa Maria di Leuca is famous for the iconic lighthouse. With its height of 47 metres, and position at 102 metres above sea level, is the second most important lighthouse in Italy, after Genova. Next to the lighthouse is the large Sanctuary, or Basilica, De Finibus Terrae ("End of the Land", 1720-1755), built to commemorate the passage of St. Peter here during his travel to Italy. It is devoted to Saint Mary (from whom the town gets the name Santa Maria di Leuca). It lies on the former site of a Roman temple dedicated to Minerva. The edifice has a fortified structure, and during its existence it sustained several assault by Algerian pirates. In the same site, a Corinthian column was erected in 1939 to celebrate the construction of the Apulian Aqueduct (Acquedotto Pugliese). The basilica is connected to the port through a 284-step staircase.
Punta Meliso promontory (the ancient Promontorium lapygium or Sallentinum) is the southeastern extremity of Italy — traditionally considered the lowest point of the geographical "heel" of Italian peninsula, as well as the meeting point of the waters from the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea. But Leuca is a bay so there's another promontory called Punta Ristola challenging this geographical particularity. According to Google Earth, Punta Ristola, at 39° 47′ 22.96″ N, is approximately 440 meters south of Punta Meliso, at 39° 47′ 37.73″ N.
After WWII the town hosted Jewish Holocaust survivors for two years (1946-1948), giving them warm hospitality.
Since October 2006 its territory is part of the Regional Park "Costa Otranto - Santa Maria di Leuca e Bosco di Tricase". Santa Maria di Leuca's littoral is marked by numerous grottoes with Latin and Greek inscriptions. Also famous are the 19th century patrician villas (c. 43 in number).
Not far off Punta Ristola, at c. 85 m of depth, lies the shipwreck of the Italian submarine Pietro Micca, sunk during World War II with its crew of 58 men.
Prehistoric remains have been found in the "Zinzolusa cave".
According to the legend, the town takes its name from "Leucasia", a white beautiful mermaid (in Greek "leukos" means "white") who conquered sailors and farmers by her charming voice. According to a later legend, Virgin Mary once saved some boats from a storm, and her name was added to that of Leuca.
Santa Maria di Leuca was founded in fact in the early 1st century AD by some monks, after Saint Peter's passage. A cross was built in his honor and after some restructurings, still be there.

Gerry Anderson, the British creator of popular television
show "Thunderbirds," has died aged 83 after a long battle
with dementia, his son said on his blog.
"I'm very sad to announce the death of my father,
'Thunderbirds' creator Gerry Anderson. He died peacefully in
his sleep at midday today ... having suffered with mixed
dementia for the past few years," Anderson's son Jamie wrote.
The puppeteer started his television career in the 1950s,
creating a string of popular British shows including 1964's
"Stingray" and 1967's "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons."
His company AP Films pioneered the "supermarionation"
puppetry technique with the fusion of marionette figures and
small-scale models to create live action-style shows.
Anderson's most notable production was 1965 series
"Thunderbirds," featuring marionette puppets, about a secret
organization that performs rescue missions using high-tech
tools and vehicles, with characters such as ex-astronaut Jeff
Tracy and agent Lady Penelope.
While the show only aired for two seasons on British
television, it became a cult favourite and was adapted for
the big screen, most recently in 2004 film "Thunderbirds,"
with the voices of Ben Kingsley and Bill Paxton.
Anderson is survived by his wife Mary and four children.

Bad news for anyone born with a silver spoon in their mouth
You are in yet another maze of twisty little passages, all alike
Apparently created in a schism over a TV Tropes policy of content restrictions imposed by their advertising contract, All The Tropes covers much the same ground in a more conventional wiki inteface (Mediawiki).
The Star-Spangled Fork-Flip, the Freedom Fork-Over, the Homeland Handoff
The American way of using a fork and knife is inefficient and inelegant. (SLSlate) Do you cut-and-switch? Well, you've got to stop. The more time you waste pointlessly handing utensils back and forth to yourself, the less time you'll have to cherish life and liberty, pursue happiness, and contribute to America's future greatness. And also—though that snob at dinner surely didn't know this—the supposedly all-American cut-and-switch is in fact an old European pretension, of just the sort we decided to free ourselves from 237 years ago.
From whence the spork?
Feeding Desire: The Tools of the Table [click on "visit the website"] is an amazing illustrated history of utensils over the past 600 years. If you prefer history to design, look at the California Academy of Science's collection and learn more of the history of the knife, fork, spoon (and more spoons!), and chopsticks. Not covered in these collections are the awesome cutlery/gun combinations of the 1700s, or how to identify the bewildering array of specialized silverware there is out there. Don't forget your bacon forks and cake breakers!.

If you are like most of us, then this is the time of year we all have something growing in the yard other than what you want to be growing.
This past ice storm proved to be very interesting for a lot of people.
As turf grass areas occasionally begin to thin out, moss and algae begin to form because conditions for growing dense, healthy turf have declined.
Valentine's Day is not only all about romance and significant others, but it is about reflecting on all of those whom you care for in your life such as siblings, parents, close friends and even pets.
Over time the soil beneath our lawns can become as hard as a brick due to soil compaction. This reduces pore space and increases soil density, resulting in problems for any gardener.
If you have ever come into my office to ask a question about how to grow a garden, fix a production issue or renovate a pasture, one of the first things I request is a soil sample.
We really never think about it, but chimney maintenance is important. Especially since a house fire from a badly maintained chimney is 100 percent preventable.
Poinsettias are a native to Mexico and can be seen growing in the wild of their native land. But thanks to the first U.S. ambassador, Joel Poinesett, the plant made its way to the United States when he sent some cuttings back home to South Carolina.
During this time of year, everyone is busy buying gifts for loved ones and friends, going to Christmas parties and enjoying the magic of the holiday season and its effect on children and grandchildren.
Squirrels around the house can be a blessing or a curse. It all depends on whether or not the squirrel has made it to your attic.
Mother Nature is in a gift-giving mood this time of year.
Preventive maintenance is so important to any aspect of life, whether it's your health or equipment.
Strawberries are definitely a spring and early summer fruit, so why talk about them in October? Well this is the best time of year to plant them.
For gardeners, there is nothing better than putting new plants into a landscape. The end product is eye-appealing and rewards you with the beauty of nature.
For most of us, the fall is the time of year for college football (GO DAWGS!), cool, crisp air in the mountains and raking leaves that seem to get everywhere. It is also a time of year when many people consider overseeding their warm season lawns to produce a green carpet of grass all year long.

They are a part of summer, but I don't have to like it. And I am referring to the presence of yellow jackets.
When azaleas have blossomed into a big green bush but have lost their spring brilliance, it is easy to forget they are there.

World Cup of Beer: Knockout stage
So now we enter the knockout stage of Page 2's 2010 World Cup of Beer. After taking a week to review each of the groups (Group A, Group B + C, Group D + E, Group F, Group G + H) we've cut the field in half and we are left with the following beer bracket.
Note that we followed the same group layout as the one FIFA drew up for the teams competing in South Africa. Some interesting matchups abound so feel free to knock one back as we review the knockout stage below. Also feel free to spout off in our comment area should your fury flow over.
Knockout stage -- 16-beer bracket
MATCH No. 1
Seeding: 1A vs. 2B
Competitors: MEXICO (Dos Equis) vs. ARGENTINA (Quilmes)
The skinny: The "Most Interesting Man in the World" vs. the real-life "Most Interesting Man in the World" (aka Diego Maradona)
Notes: XX takes out the beer of the bidet-demanding, tax-evading pitchman for enemy suds.
Winner: MEXICO (Dos Equis)
MATCH No. 2
Seeding: 1C vs. 2D
Competitors: UNITED STATES (Yuengling) vs. SERBIA (Jelen Pivo)
The skinny: Battle of the "J"-sounding beers
Notes: After finishing runner-up in a similar competition hosted by a German magazine in 2006, the lager-loving Serbs get surprised by the U.S. upstarts in Page 2's beer bracket.
Winner: UNITED STATES (Yuengling)
MATCH No. 3
Seeding: 1E vs. 2F
Competitors: NETHERLANDS (Heineken) vs. SLOVAKIA (Zlaty Bazant)
The skinny: Battle of the Heineken brands
Notes: As it turns out Zlaty Bazant was recently purchased by Heineken International. The Golden Pheasant (translation of Zlaty Bazant) is good but in the end it is no match for Heineken's golden goose.
Winner: NETHERLANDS (Heineken)
MATCH No. 4
Seeding: 1G vs. 2H
Competitors: PORTUGAL (Super Bock) vs. SWITZERLAND (Cardinal)
The skinny: Battle of the Cardinals (Cardinal jersey-wearing country vs. Cardinal beer)
Notes: Disappointing Swiss fans looking for some divine intervention (perhaps they were hoping for their own "Hand of God"), Super Bock stands tall and wins out.
Winner: PORTUGAL (Super Bock)
MATCH No. 5
Seeding: 1D vs. 2C
Competitors: GERMANY (Spaten) vs. ENGLAND (Boddingtons)
The skinny: Battle of the Heavyweights (This could easily be a final ... similar to what we might now see with a possible Brazil/Spain knockout match.)
Notes: Spaten is said to have been the first beer served at Oktoberfest. Here, Spaten is the first favorite knocked out. Although this Oktoberfest bod gets a nod, Boddingtons moves on.
Winner: ENGLAND (Boddingtons)
MATCH No. 6
Seeding: 1B vs. 2A
Competitors: NIGERIA (Guinness Foreign Extra Stout) vs. FRANCE (Kronenbourg)
The skinny: Ireland's Revenge
Notes: After the huge brouhaha following Thierry Henry's handball, Ireland in a way exacts revenge by way of Nigeria.
Winner: NIGERIA (Guinness Foreign Extra Stout)
MATCH No. 7
Seeding: 1F vs. 2E
Competitors: ITALY (Moretti) vs. DENMARK (Carlsberg Elephant)
The skinny: Battle of the European Peninsulas (OK it is a stretch but who will get the boot?)
Notes: Hats off to Moretti (its logo features a gentleman wearing a cap), which takes out the strong Elephant beer that looked like it had the stuff to make a run in South Africa.
Winner: ITALY (Moretti)
MATCH No. 8
Seeding: 1H vs. 2G
Competitors: CHILE (Kunstmann) vs. BRAZIL (Antartica)
The skinny: Battle of "Chilly" (Chilean beer vs. the Brazilian beer adorned with penguins)
Notes: Kunstmann continues to shake things up as it takes out its South American rivals. Antartica might have better luck next time as Brazil hosts the next World Cup in 2014.
Winner: CHILE (Kunstmann)

By default the text color is set to white, so you just need to change the CSS code to set it to black. FTP into your WordPress installation and go to wp-admin > css, and open up wp-admin.css in a text editor. Search for the text "theEditor". Change the color value to black.

Homeless Veterans:
Job Retention Goal Under Development for DOL's Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program
GAO-05-654T: Published: May 4, 2005. Publicly Released: May 4, 2005.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has estimated that as many as 250,000 veterans may be homeless on any given day. Many other veterans are also considered at risk for homelessness because of poverty, lack of support from family and friends, and precarious living conditions in overcrowded or substandard housing. One federal program designed to help these veterans is the Department of Labor's (DOL) Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP)--a grant program that provides funding for employment and training services for homeless veterans. GAO was asked to assist Congress with its consideration of HVRP reauthorization by providing information on DOL's (1) expenditures on HVRP grants and (2) measures and goals for assessing the effectiveness of HVRP. GAO reviewed VA and DOL documentation that included the amounts DOL expended for HVRP as well as information on HVRP grantees and performance goals. GAO also interviewed DOL program officials.
DOL's expenditures for HVRP grants have increased from $9.5 million in fiscal year 2000 to over $18 million in fiscal year 2004. For fiscal years 2005 and 2006, DOL estimates that it will expend over $20 million on HVRP grants each year. Currently, DOL oversees 79 HVRP grants that help provide employment and job training services for homeless veterans. In program year 2003 (July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004), 63 percent of homeless veterans enrolled in HVRP funded programs entered employment, which exceeds the 61 percent entered-employment goal in DOL's fiscal year 2006 budget. DOL recently reported that for program year 2003, 35 percent of employed veterans served through the program retained their jobs for 180 days. However, DOL is in the process of developing a performance goal for this job retention measure. This goal along with the entered-employment goal will help DOL, Congress, and others evaluate the impact that HVRP has on homeless veterans.

Chances are that you've really started to "pop" as your uterus moves up in line with your naval – you'll now look and feel pregnant. Hurrah! Don't worry if your bump seems larger or smaller than friends or people around you – there's a huge variety when it comes to belly size. Read this fun article here for more about belly size. Or come see some of the gorgeous bumps on show on our Facebook page – and share your pics too!
Physical changes
Aches and pains
Many women experience sharp groin pains during the middle of their pregnancy. These are usually caused by straining the round ligaments that support the growing uterus. Walking, sudden movements, coughing, sneezing or exercise such as swimming can trigger pains. You can read more about stitch pains here.
Read what our midwife Melissa has to say about aches and pains in pregnancy here.
To read about other physical signs of this stage of pregnancy click here.
Emotional reactions
As the pregnancy progresses into the middle months, various emotions can surface in both positive and negative ways. For a few women, their pregnancy feels like just an essential physical process they must endure in order to have a baby. These feelings may come as a surprise if you expected to enjoy being pregnant but in reality have found this not to be the case. Despite society's expectation that all pregnant women should feel happy and 'glowing', for some women these feelings are far from the truth.
You can read more about these and other feelings here.
Ask our midwife Melissa about your emotions during pregnancy here.
Other considerations
Choosing childbirth classes
Childbirth preparation classes are not compulsory and you may prefer to just read books, talk with friends and relatives or use Internet sites to prepare for your baby's birth. However, many prospective parents choose to attend face-to-face classes to help them prepare, as well as meeting up with other pregnant women and their partners. Childbirth classes fill up quickly, so we recommend booking them soon, even though they may not start until 28 to 30 weeks.
In more recent years, childbirth classes have incorporated early parenting, breastfeeding and perhaps techniques for settling a crying baby. However, often separate classes are provided to specifically address different topics. To gain an understanding about the various childbirth classes on offer and to help you make a choice, you can click here.
Natural therapies in pregnancy
Reflexology involves massage and the application of pressure to points on the hands and feet, which correspond to various organs and systems in the body (also known as reflex zone therapy). Reflexology is based on the belief that energy or 'chi' flows though 10 major meridians (or channels) running the length of the body to the 7000 nerve endings in the feet and across to the fingertips. Reflexology aims to stimulate these zones by releasing 'trapped energy' relieving stress, pain, discomfort and minor ailments. You can read more here.

Halo 3
Multiplayer Beta Afterthoughts: a post-mortem interview.
LB: They've been brought down. So you can actually just jump in them and there's no climbing that you have to do.
TG: In fact, if you're playing VIP and you're feeling campy, you're much better off in the base.
LB: Yeah, you actually wouldn't go [to that ledge] now.
EGM: You hinted that the Covenant carbine's going to be tweaked, maybe the spiker is going to be tweaked...can you give us some examples of specific weapon changes?
TG: The carbine does a little bit less damage now, and the accuracy parameters have changed a little bit. It's a little bit less accurate if you're spamming it. I think the rate of fire was slightly decreased, too, because it had a rate of fire cap faster than you could pull the trigger, so if you could jam on the trigger really fast it turned into an unexpectedly, unnecessarily powerful weapon. The battle rifle, also, was too weak compared to the carbine, so we brought that back up a little bit, so now the two weapons feel like peers, which is where we want them. They have different characteristics, but you shouldn't feel like one is at a great disadvantage against the other.
|SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Halo 3 screens.
The Spartan laser -- some of the auto-aiming parameters on it were changed, to make it a little bit harder to use, but it's still a powerful weapon, and it's still treated like a power weapon. But it's not quite as point-and-kill as it was in the beta. And the last one I can think of that you mentioned, the spikers...when dual-wielded, they had no damage reduction, no damage penalty on them, so they were really very deadly, dual-wielded. More so than we had intended. So we brought them down a little bit to bring them more in line with other dual-wielded weapons. But we didn't totally nerf them.
EGM: We saw that the [charged plasma pistol shot to battle rifle head shot] "newb combo" is still somewhat effective. Are you guys planning on doing anything with that specifically, or do you think it's OK now with the changes [less auto tracking] to the plasma pistol?
TG: I'm not sure that we changed it that much since the beta. But I don't feel like it's the same no-brainer that it was in Halo 2, and that's what's really important to me. In Halo 2, you just used it because, why the hell not? It was so effective and so easy to use, it was just a no-brainer. But now...you can do it under the right circumstances, which vary from person to person depending on how good they are, but it's not something that you just do by default.
EGM: What about equipment? Any tweaks from the beta?
TG: Actually, not really a lot. The equipment fared really well in the beta, I think. The bubble shield, people were using it more or less how we expected them to. Same with the grav lift. The power drain we actually changed before the beta went out the door, and I think people would have appreciated that, so I guess you can count that. The thing that's changed now is that it throws out with quite a bit more force, so it's not like dropping a giant plasma grenade right at your feet, and then it takes down your shields and the guy kills you. Now it's more like something you use offensively -- you can throw it into a situation. That [tweak] wasn't in the beta.
EGM: Was there anything that you anticipated before the beta was out that actually came to fruition?
|SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Halo 3 screens.
TG: Some of the VIP camping on Valhalla...we saw that coming. That's something that we wanted to change, but it was very difficult to make that kind of change when you're in a lockdown process like we were for the beta. In Oddball on Snowbound we saw people using the shield doors to camp pretty viciously, with the one-hit kill and the shield door. We're not sure how we're going to fix that. It's partially by design, but if that sort of thing is really a problem, we may tweak back the Oddball punch, so it's not a one-hit kill anymore. But the other thing is, when you look at some of the other games where that starts happening, the other team deals with it by just flanking the guy. They just hit him from the other side. So we're going to sort of play that one by ear.
EGM: Some of us are having trouble bringing ourselves to delete the Halo 3 beta from our hard drives...it's like breaking up with a hot chick. Any advice, first of all, and is there any reason to keep the beta around?
TG: [Laughs] Only...maybe someday it might be a collector's edition. Put your Xbox 360 on eBay and say it comes complete with the binary data for the Halo 3 beta!
LB: Yeah, it's a dead piece of software right now. You'll never be able to do anything with it, unfortunately. I mean, maybe you could keep it on there and cry every time you bring it up in the hard drive list, but...I dunno what to tell you.
TG: That's abandonware now; it's dead. [Laughs] We're not going to resurrect it for some trial, surprise run. If we did that, there would be bricks sailing through our window pretty quick.
LB: Plus, the game is in such a better state now, too, since the beta. It plays a whole lot better. So many minor things have changed. It would be tough to go back.

TWM Moves to Facilitator Learner Model
Posted: August 6, 2012
Written By: Mary RedClay (TWM contributor)
Summer sails past and soon educated grown-ups will be preparing for their roles as teachers of youngsters, as has been happening ever since some farmer decided his kids needed to be home when the crops were ripe. Peculiar, isn't it, that we still follow the agrarian calendar. More peculiar still is that we consider teachers to be living textbooks, full of vital information that must be delivered to their students. In the "information age" this notion is absurd. Teachers will better serve their students if they become "facilitators" of instruction and guides to the process that students use to seek knowledge on their own....[ click here to continue reading full post ]
— Coming in August we will have two brand new Learning Guides to the movies
127 Hours and The Help, so keep an eye out for those soon!
Lesson Plan on Influenza and its Threat to Mankind
What if the Bird Flu Went Airborne?
Description of the Movie: Contagion tells the tale of a fictional influenza pandemic. It is, in many ways, realistic.
Learner Outcomes/Objectives: Students will understand the risks to modern society from the influenza virus and see a realistic scenario of what might occur in case of moderately lethal influenza pandemic. Students will learn to use the Internet to obtain information on illnesses from various web sites, including cdc.gov from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and www.flu.gov from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
View the Learning Guide to Contagion Here.
The Spread of Viral Infection
Learner Outcomes/Objectives: Students will have a clear picture of the path that a virus can take from a host animal to its first human victims and from there to an epidemic destroying an entire community.
Rationale: The film clips provide an excellent supplement to a unit on the spread of infectious disease.
Description of the Film Clip: A deadly virus is transmitted from Africa to the United States and threatens to cause an epidemic. The clips are taken from the first hour of the movie showing how the disease spreads.

Pairing of Nonfiction Books and Film
Written By: Mary RedClay (TWM contributor)
Years ago, a workbook given to students to help them prepare for a standardized test asked them to read a piece of nonfiction called "School Based Management." The students in my test prep class glanced at the title, read a line or two, and then quickly turned to the questions and penciled in the answers on the scan-tron test. Discussion ensued. I learned that the kids were certain they would do as well randomly selecting a response as they would were they to read the material and reason through to the correct answers. No way, they argued, were they going waste their time reading something so boring....[ click here to continue reading full post ]
Administrators: The cornerstone of any program to ensure that class time won't be wasted when students are shown movies is to give teachers curriculum materials that reveal the educational value of feature films. Then you can work with teachers to ensure that movies are used infrequently but with maximum educational return consistent with the Common Core State Standards.
Television is a multifaceted medium with programming that covers most subjects in the k-12 curriculum. There are nature shows, history documentaries, and dramas such as soaps, crime stories, and the reality survival shows. In addition, there are reality competition shows in dance, music, cooking, memory and various sports-like situations. TV also has documentary-like shows which provide important up-to-date information on the latest current events or discoveries in science. The most popular TV programs, with varying degrees of quality, are watched by millions.
The interest that students have in TV programming offers an opportunity for creative teachers to make interesting homework lesson plans for both extra credit and required homework assignments. An important additional advantage is that the TV watching will be done at home, outside of class, and will not take up instructional time.
- Fiction (Soaps, Dramas, and Reality/Survival Shows);
- Historical Fiction;
- Documentaries - Informational and Persuasive;
- Reality Show Competitions; and
- News Program.
Click Here to view the list of TV Program Worksheets for Homework which serve as the core for TV show lesson planning.
We now offer two film study worksheets designed to help teachers quickly create lesson plans based on documentary films; one is for movies that are primarily informational and the other for films designed to persuade the viewer on a matter of political or social significance.
The worksheets assist students in analyzing the documentary. They allow students to take notes during breaks while watching the movie or when the film is over. The prompts on the worksheets can be used to facilitate class discussions or form the basis for writing assignments.
The worksheets for documentaries will help students:
- determine premise, theme and intent;
- look at the structure and form of the presentation;
- summarize important facts;
- articulate important lessons learned from the film; and
- identify scenes, images, or sounds that appeal to the viewer.
TWM offers the following movie worksheets for documentaries:
- Film Study Worksheet for a Documentary;
- Film Study Worksheet for a Documentary that Seeks to Persuade on Issues of Political or Social Significance.
Hawthorne is to The Rolling Stones as "Young Goodman Brown" is to "Sympathy for the Devil"
Written By: Mary RedClay (TWM contributor)
Mick Jagger cannot be duplicated. And in his early days, everyone knew those Lips and studied how he slung them around his lyrics in sync with his moves. Whether or not you are old enough to be a Rolling Stones fan, your students will enjoy watching a video of this young 60's icon as they learn the theme of one of Nathaniel Hawthorne's best short stories.
The early classics of American Literature are increasingly obscure to today's students. Most of them would prefer a mediocre film over a book any day. But Hawthorne's short story, "Young Goodman Brown," as dense and difficult as it is, redounds with ideas that are as important now as when they were written in 1835. And Jagger's "Sympathy for the Devil" makes the central idea outright obvious. Plus, it leads to a good writing assignment...[ click here to continue reading full post ]
Into the Wild tells the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man from a troubled family who was enraged by what he considered to be the moral lapses of his mother and father and their multiple failures as parents. Chris also had a love of nature and of adventuring in the wild. Upon graduating from college near the top of his class, Chris cut himself off from family and friends to go solo adventuring in the Western United States. His last trip was to the Alaskan wilderness where he was found dead of starvation in an abandoned bus, a few short miles from safety. The movie tells the story of the events at home, Chris' love of nature, his wanderings in the West, the people that he met, and, in the final weeks, his epiphany of forgiveness and his realization of the importance of human relationships.
The book, Into the Wild, by John Krakauer, is an excellent nonfiction text for students in grades 10 - 12. The film can be used to introduce students to the book or to serve as a reward after they have read the book. The TWM Learning Guide provides writing exercises for students who have seen the movie or read the book.
Foreshadowing and Characterization using a film clip from Thelma & Louise
Learner Outcomes/Objectives: Students will learn how to use, analyze and interpret foreshadowing and characterization through showing rather than telling.
View the Snippet Lesson Plan to Thelma & Louise.
Deriving Theme Using a film clip from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Learner Outcomes/Objectives: Students will practice deriving theme from a scene in a novel that has been adapted to film.
View the Snippet Lesson Plan to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Deriving Theme By Comparing Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" with the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil"
Learning Outcomes/Objectives: Students studying American Literature will gain a sense of the writing of Nathaniel Hawthorne and see connections between his advanced thinking and similar themes found in pop culture. Students will observe the same ideas presented in two different media from two different time periods. They will practice expressing their ideas in a compare/contrast essay.

Using the Movie Babies to Inspire Quality Writing
Written By: Mary RedClay (TWM contributing editor)
Not long ago in my 11th grade ELA class, a student announced to all that she was, well, with child. The class responded with a mighty "ohhhhh." The sound, heard in muted chorus, could have signified a question, a moan of disappointment, a hint of disapproval or perhaps a basic "you-don't-say" response. Probably given the fact that there were nearly forty students in the room, all three feelings were communicated in that "oh." ...[ click here to continue reading full post ]

Check with "What's new on TWM" next month when we will start "A New TWM initiative on using movies to interest students in reading nonfiction: The first guides will be to 127 Hours, Into the Wild and Mao's Last Dancer."
According to the 2010 Common Core State Standards ("CCSS"):
- Extensive research has established the need for college and career ready students to be able to independently read complex nonfiction texts;
- The majority of the required reading in worker training programs and in college is informational in nature and it is often challenging in content;
- The amount of nonfiction reading required of students in post-secondary education programs is usually greater than that required in K-12. CCSS pp. 3 & 4.
The Ox-Bow Incident
A frontier town in 1885 Nevada is rocked by news that a respected rancher has been murdered. The sheriff is out of town. Impatient townspeople form a posse. Three strangers are soon found herding cattle marked with the brand belonging to the murdered rancher. They claim they bought the cattle but there is no bill of sale. One of the strangers has the rancher's gun. He tells the posse that he bought it from the rancher but again, he has no evidence. Most of the posse wants to string the strangers up immediately. A few men argue that the posse should wait and turn the strangers over to the sheriff. What will the posse do?
Mao's Last Dancer
The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Mao's Last Dancer will assist teachers who show the movie alone or in conjunction with reading Li Cunxin's interesting autobiography of the same title.
The Relic
Viruses and the Speed of Evolution Using The Relic
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (Redox) Using a Film Clips from Daylight
Showing students movies as a reward for good behavior has its purpose.
The promise of a film as reward for tasks accomplished has always been a manipulative device favored by teachers who themselves love a good movie now and then. But reward doesn't have to mean useless or brain-dead.
Reward films are an opportunity to show students movies that are great works of art, unusual films that change lives or show a part of the world that students have never seen. It is also a reward to show students a filmed version of a book that they have read.
Finally, reward-time is a great way to expose students to foreign films.
The key is to use the class to do something different that will help students.
Click here to see our latest article about showing reward films. It includes a list of recommended movies.
NEW LEARNING GUIDES TO: Hercules & Grave of the Fireflies
What do you do with a movie that, although loved by children, takes a Greek myth, changes the plot, modifies the characters almost beyond recognition, mixes in Christian theological themes, and adds parallels to a comic book hero?
Grave of the Fireflies
Grave of the Fireflies is a heartbreaking film that shows two orphaned children trying to survive the aftermath of the American incendiary bombing campaign that preceded the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It shows one example of the effects of the Second World War on civilians and provides a clear example of the tragedy hidden behind the euphemism "collateral damage." Roger Ebert wrote, "Grave of the Fireflies is an emotional experience so powerful that it forces a rethinking of animation." Another critic compared the movie to Schindler's List saying that: "It is the most profoundly human animated film I've ever seen." See Roger Ebert's Review in the Chicago Sun-Times.
The Common Core State Standards and
Feature Films in the ELA Classroom:
Feature films — carefully selected, properly introduced, shown with a movie worksheet, and followed by discussions and assignments — will inspire and interest today's students.
Some of the new Common Core State Standards refer to the use of film. Movies can also assist in meeting standards that make no reference to film. Click here for an explanation of how a few carefully selected and properly presented movies can assist teachers in meeting the Common Core State Standards, including a complete list of the Common Core State Standards that relate to the use of film in education.
Helpful Tip: Are your school administrators resisting the use of film in your ELA classes? Give them TWM's article entitled Common Core State Standards and Feature Films in the ELA Classroom and the Common Core State Standards - Annotated & Highlighted for Films. These documents demonstrate that teachers cannot realistically meet the Common Core State Standards without showing some movies in the classroom and that a limited and judicious use of feature films can assist in meeting many standards.
Updated Learning Guide to Casablanca
Casablanca a classic story of love and redemption through sacrifice at the beginning of World War II. It's one of the most popular films ever made. With its extended metaphor relating to the end of American isolationism, Casablanca can assist learning in both English Language Arts and social studies classes. The film is an excellent example of historical fiction. Moreover, the film can serve as an example of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey through Rick's internal quest for redemption and self-rediscovery.
ELA teachers . . . . How many of your students will frequently read books as adults? Some . . . . but they'll all be watching movies!
Help students understand that movies tell stories that can be analyzed using the elements and devices of fiction. You may change the way your students look at film for their entire lives. With TWM's Movies as Literature Homework Project YOU CAN DO THIS WITHOUT A LARGE INVESTMENT OF CLASS TIME!
Social Studies Teachers . . . . How many of your students will read books about history when they are adults? A few . . . . but most will be watching historical fiction in movies!
TWM's Historical Fiction in Film Cross-Curricular Homework Project requires students to watch, outside of class, movies that are historical fiction. They are required to analyze the films for the elements and devices of fiction and for their historical accuracy and perspective. Used with TWM's revised Film Study Worksheet for Historical Fiction this homework assignment means . . . . YOU CAN DO THIS WITHOUT A LARGE INVESTMENT OF CLASS TIME!
Health Classes: Students love the character of Art, a man confined to a wheelchair by cerebral palsy. Art's spastic movements make even the simplest tasks of daily life extremely difficult. Michael Sheen's portrayal of this real-life character is so engaging that the way students see and think about persons with obvious physical disabilities will change forever. The movie will also help students reach new levels of understanding about the effects of early childhood trauma, PTSD, and overcoming a dysfunctional family. Music Within is one of the best films for Health classes relating to disabilities.
Social Studies Classes: Music Within presents one of the five great advances in human rights in the U.S. during the 20th century: the movement to allow the disabled to integrate into mainstream society. It will show students that just a few years ago, disabled people could not get access to public buildings and could be discriminated against at work and in education. The movie also provides a window onto life in the last half of the 20th century.
English Language Arts Classes: The movie is an excellent description of the human condition as experienced in America during the 20th century. It vicariously expands students' experiences and raises important questions that are great topics for persuasive essays and other writing projects.
Since it is strong in so many areas, the film also offers cross-curricular benefits.
Film Study Worksheet for Historical Fiction
Historical Fiction in Film Cross-Curricular Homework Project
Before showing a work of historical fiction, require students to read TWM's Film Study Worksheet for Historical Fiction. After the movie is over, in class or as homework, ask students to provide written responses. Alternatively, hold a class discussion based on the questions in the Worksheet. This will keep students' attention on the movie and lead them to evaluate the film as both a work of fiction and a description of history.
Because class time is valuable and there are few opportunities to show an entire movie in class, TWM has developed a Historical Fiction in Film Cross-Curricular Homework Project which requires students to watch, outside of class, a certain number of movies that are historical fiction — TWM suggests four per semester — and then respond to the questions in the Film Study Worksheet for Historical Fiction.
We have updated the Learning Guide and Student Handout for Super Size Me with new statistics about the obesity epidemic. TWM recommends ten other movies that will supplement and add depth to Health classes.
(We can count; the first one overlaps.)
Illustrate the amazing power of exponential increase and decrease, show students the reason for scientific notation, and introduce different numeral systems with Exponents, Scientific Notation, and Numeral Systems Using Powers of Ten or Cosmic Voyage. Both films have similar scenes that will leave a lasting impression on students.
Demonstrate the vast distances between stars but the relative closeness of galaxies with Interstellar and Intergalactic Distances Using Cosmic Voyage. The Guide has links to websites with amazing photographs of galactic collisions.
Show students the optics of refraction that lie behind the rare and ephemeral Green Flash. See Refraction and the Green Flash Using a Clip from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
How can harmonic motion sink a ship, break a glass, make beautiful music, or destroy a bridge? Give examples from Hollywood (fictional) to Tacoma (real) with Harmonic Motion Using Film Clips from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
The Snippet Lesson Plan on Molecular Bonds and Surface Tension Using Film Clips from Microcosmos focuses on amazing footage of ants drinking from drops of water. It will interest students in this important topic.
The Old Man and the Sea is a faithful adaptation of Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize winning novella. The Learning Guide contains a Film Study Worksheet to keep students' focused on the film and the themes of the story. The Guide will assist in teaching both the book and the movie providing insights, discussion questions, and assignments. As almost always, TWM suggests that students read the book before they see the movie.
While The Sandlot appears on the surface to be a lightweight comedy, the movie provokes an empathic reaction in virtually all viewers. The Learning Guide to this film points out the themes of the movie and provides discussion questions. It contains assignments for middle or junior high students to practice the skills required by The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts for Writing and for Speaking and Listening.
As you can see, we have a new and modernized look with new navigation tools including a search engine. Give it a drive — check it out.

|In TWM's Snippet Lesson Plan — Introduction to Thermonuclear Reactions in the Sun and as a Source of Unlimited Energy for Mankind Students — Using a Film Clip from Spiderman 2 introduces the thermonuclear reactions that take place in the nucleus of the sun. Students will learn why it would be a major breakthrough to be able to reproduce the fusion that takes place in the Sun in a controlled environment on Earth. They will be introduced to the difficulties that have made this endeavor impossible to date. Students will also be introduced to the magnetic fields of the Sun and see films of sunspots and solar prominences.
|The solar eclipse shown in Dolores Claiborne faithfully reproduces the correct atmospheric and light conditions as well as the phases of a total solar eclipse. While there is nothing like viewing a total solar eclipse while outside, this movie clip will allow students to vicariously participate in part of that experience. Check out TWM's Snippet Lesson Plan — Total Solar Eclipse — Using a Film Clip from Dolores Claiborne
During 2011 TWM will present 12 new Snippet Lesson Plans illustrating principles of science. Combined with our current offerings, TWM Users will be able access more than 40 ways to use film in physics, biology and earth science classes to vary classroom routines and stimulate interest. See TWM's Science and Technology Index.
Our first new Science Snippet Lesson Plan is an Introduction to Volcanoes and Tectonic Plates Using "Volcano".
Students will learn about volcanoes,their likely locations, the factors that can lead to an eruption, the relation of plate tectonics to volcanic eruptions, and the kind of certainty that scientists can and cannot provide. They will become familiar with the way that volcanoes are classified and four of the important phenomena that happen before and during eruptions: heating of underground and surface water, lava flows, ash clouds, and volcanic bombs.
The Lesson Plan shows the difference between what occurs in nature and where Hollywood fantasy manifests itself in the film. The events of the movie are loosely based on real incidents in which a volcano suddenly surged to life in an unexpected location and when advancing lava was cooled and stopped with water. Comparison of the real events with the film will demonstrate the differences between fact and fiction in movies while providing interest and context for the lesson.
Very few students will be involved in the situations and violence portrayed in today's action/adventure movies. However, most of them, at one time in their lives, will embark on their own quests for achievement or for personal growth. These quests often fit the paradigm of the Hero's Journey. TWM has developed four Lesson Plans to show that the Hero's Journey can be found in stories other than action/adventure movies. More Hero's Journey Lesson Plans will be published in the coming months.
Check out TWM's Stages and Archetypes of the Hero's Journey -- Introducing the Monomyth based on the insights of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and Christopher Vogler.
|In Fly Away Home, Amy undertakes two important quests. The first is to successfully pass through paralyzing grief arising from her mother's untimely death. She accomplishes this, in part, through her second quest, a mission in which she and her father work together to teach her orphaned geese how to migrate from north to south. Both of these quests fit the paradigm of "the Hero's Journey,"
|The "The Wizard of Oz" is another Heroine's Journey. In the process of finding her way back home, Dorothy grows in self-confidence and matures.
|The Hero's Journey can also be found in romantic comedies as shown by the Lesson Plan for "Big". In this case, Josh makes an internal Hero's Journey and learns that despite his desire to be big, he is not ready for the world of adults and that childhood is a time to be enjoyed.
|The Hero's Journey lesson plan for "Departures" shows a Journey of personal growth and development in a foreign film.
In each of these lesson plans, students will be asked to describe the stages and archetypes of the Hero's Journey. By completing one or more of the suggested assignments, students will employ and perfect the writing skills required by ELA curriculum standards.
TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guides are designed to assist teachers in creating lesson plans. Each Learning Guide contains sections on Helpful Background, Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Discussion Questions, and Assignments.
Snippet Lesson Plans are made from short subjects or from "film clips," "movie clips," or "video clips." The video segments of these lesson plans are ideal for classroom use because they are less than 40 minutes long.
Movies and films make the events they portray come alive. TeachWithMovies.com helps teachers and parents make lessons vivid and personal for children.

Dana Fehr1 Stars Out Of 5May 19, 2010Dana FehrThis book has a chapter for irresponsible spouses, alcoholic spouses, abusive spouses, sex addicts, etc. If your marriage has one of these problems, you are going to need a whole lot more than one chapter of pop psychology to fix it. Save your money.
JEFF5 Stars Out Of 5May 27, 2009JEFFGreat book!!!! It gave me hope and a lot of insight on what is going on in my marriage. Gary Chapman is a great author and has many other great books!!!
Barb5 Stars Out Of 5May 4, 2009BarbThis book is for couples at the end of their rope, but I believe these principles could be used in ANY marriage. It addresses some heavy subjects - abuse, depression, addiction, etc., but in a way that gives hope. It is very easy to read, and includes stories from real couples in crisis. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Hungary Tax Erodes Credibility, Growth, Analysts Say
Hungary's decision to extend special industry taxes beyond their planned expiration may undermine efforts to boost economic growth to more than 5 percent by 2014 and meet revenue targets as debt repayments peak, analysts said.
Stocks fell the most in six months yesterday in Budapest after Prime Minister Viktor Orban's spokesman, Peter Szijjarto, said the Cabinet plans to draft new rules to collect revenue from selected industries after "crisis" taxes approved this year end in 2012. The government will negotiate the new tax with companies in 2012, Orban said today in Budapest.
"The equity market crashing tells you what this tax will mean for growth," Bartosz Pawlowski, an emerging-market currency strategist at BNP Paribas SA in London, said by phone. "The investment environment will be severely hit with companies having less cash to invest, causing potential growth to decline, which is probably the last thing the government wants to do."
Hungary's reliance on tax increases is stoking concern the European Union's most-indebted eastern member will shy away from spending cuts as it narrows the budget deficit. Investors have been buffeted by shifts in policy since Prime Minister Viktor Orban was elected in April on promises to end five years of austerity. After a standoff with international lenders, he agreed in September to meet the EU deficit limit next year.
"There is little one can say about yesterday's events in Hungary except that they pulled the country one major step down the credibility ladder, the main reason for the selloff in equities," Simon Quijano-Evans, head of emerging-market strategy at Credit Agricole Cheuvreux SA in Vienna, said in a note to clients today.
Forint Falls
The forint weakened 0.8 percent today to 276.66 per euro at 11:30 a.m. in Budapest The benchmark BUX stock index rose 1 percent., paring losses after it fell 4.7 percent yesterday, the most since May 7. Mol Nyrt., Hungary's largest oil refiner, rose 1.1 percent after tumbling 6 percent yesterday. OTP Bank Nyrt., the country's biggest lender, increased 0.9 percent after falling 5.2 percent yesterday.
Magyar Telekom Nyrt., which is controlled by Deutsche Telekom AG, and Mol have said they may reduce investments next year. Vienna-based Erste Group Bank AG said yesterday it will cut 9 percent of its workforce in Hungary.
Tax Projection
Orban originally levied taxes on the financial, energy, telecommunications and retail industries through 2012 and said he would use private pension funds to plug budget holes created by switching to a flat 16 percent personal income tax next year.
According to the budget draft posted on parliament's website, the government is now counting on revenue from the taxes through at least 2014. The taxes will raise 348 billion forint ($1.8 billion) in 2011, 260 billion forint in 2012 and 179 billion forint in both 2013 and 2014.
With elections scheduled for 2014, the Cabinet's reliance on industry taxes for the remainder of its terms shows the government probably won't tackle structural issues to reduce state spending, said Daniel Bebesy, who helps manage $1.5 billion of mostly Hungarian government bonds at Budapest Investment Management.
"There is no comprehensive plan, only ad hoc solutions," Bebesy said. "In this kind of environment, where companies are hit with this kind of burden, the government's growth projections are unrealistic."
Economic Outlook
The government expects growth to accelerate to 5.2 percent in 2014 from a projected 0.8 percent this year, according to Economy Ministry forecasts. Hungary's economy contracted 6.3 percent last year, the most since 1991.
While the government's measures are sufficient to meet short-term budget targets, they fail to address the "structural deficit" that may widen the budget gap to 6 percent of GDP by 2014, Standard & Poor's said Nov. 3. S&P affirmed Hungary's debt rating at BBB-, one step above junk, with a negative outlook.
Hungary in 2012 will have to start repaying an International Monetary Fund loan, part of a 20 billion-euro ($27.4 billion) bailout obtained in 2008 to avert a default during the global financial crisis. The government decided not to extend the credit line, which expired last month.
The volatility of the forint against the euro may show a "notable rise" next year, Carolin Hecht, a Frankfurt-based currency strategist at Commerzbank AG, said in a research note.
Hungary's currency has fallen 1.9 percent against the euro this year, the worst performance among 25 emerging market currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The forint fell 0.2 percent to 275.09 per euro as of 9:59 a.m. in Budapest.
"The forint is suffering under the pressure of market uncertainty regarding Hungarian refinancing prospects," Hecht said. "In view of impending funding shortfalls and due to a lack of alternatives, the government might once again apply audacious fiscal measures, which will further increase uncertainty on the markets, leading to higher financing costs."

I dismantled the "drain pump assembly" part making the noise and the solenoid and paddle flaps looked fine. However when manually turning the flaps I could occasionally reproduce the slappy / crackling noise.
Upon further inspection, it was apparent that the seal the axel for the agitator had a small leak. I ordered a new piece and sure enough, the sound is gone!

New Orleans metro area remains in path of Isaac
Published: Monday, August 27, 2012 at 9:53 a.m.

Tropical Storm Isaac has winds of 65 mph and is moving WNW at 14 mph, as of the 9 a.m. NHC update. Isaac is 546 miles from New Orleans. A hurricane warning has been issued from Morgan City eastward to Destin, Fla. The warning includes metro New Orleans and the Lake Pontchartrain area.
The latest NHC track and cone shows that New Orleans and SE LA is INSIDE the cone and now the official track has the center moving towards New Orleans as the projected landfall now. This can still shift west or east. New European model doesn't come until 1 or 2am.
Intensity may be a 100 mph Cat 2 storm, although that is just an estimation. It could be stronger or weaker. As the storm pulls away from the Florida Keys, the track should tighten up and we'll have a more defined idea on the future of Isaac. However, Monday is the time to ready yourselves for possible hurricane conditions. Review your plans and be ready to take action if need be.
(National Weather Center updates occur every three hours - 1 a.m., 4 a.m., 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.)

Barcelona and Real Madrid are to meet 4 times within a few weeks...and it will be amazing to watch two of the best teams go at it over and over again. The top two players in the World, Ronaldo and Messi will be going up against each other as well...always a treat to watch.
ESPN 3 will show The Classico and it's too bad it's on the same day as the first day of NBA playoffs, but if you get a chance - do watch this 90 minute clash. Best thing is, if you miss this one - there will be 3 more in the coming weeks. The 2nd one is just this coming Wednesday. I believe today's game is at 1 PM Pacific.
Barcelona has won 5 straight and are coming off an 5-0 win in the last match at home.
Can't wait...so many games today!!!
