Mobile apps have brought a revolution in this digital era. There are a lot of applications found in apple app store, android play store, windows app store and many more, and the number of downloads in these apps in a month has shot extremely high in numbers. These apps range from radio apps, books and precisely, there are apps for everything and anything that you might need. That being said learning apps have not been left behind. There are several apps that can help ESL/TESOL/TEFL teachers teach English and also recommend them to their students because as we know the number of people with smartphones according to statistics is very high. There are a few advantages that comes along with these apps.
Supplemental Teaching Resources to Help Adult Learners Learn English
Admin - Jul 09 2016
Learning a foreign language may appear to be a daunting task to anyone embarking on this journey. Moreover, it is that much more difficult at an older age. The plasticity of the young mind allows it to be easily molded and grasp a new language relatively effortlessly. Adults, with other commitments, families of their own, and responsibilities of a full time job, often find it extremely difficult to grasp a new language. However, there are many resources available to facilitate learning English in an appealing and engaging manner for learners of all ages and ethnicities.
Cultural Norms for ESL Teachers Teaching Abroad
Admin - May 22 2016
Many countries in Africa, Asia, and South America are nowadays learning English as second language (ESL). It has therefore become quite a lucrative venture which English teachers are making a run for. This however means moving to new country and embracing or coping with a whole new way of life. You will be interacting with an entirely new community different from the one back at home. It is therefore best to familiarize yourself with the dos and don'ts of the community in terms of greetings, mode of dressing, religion among others.
How to Learn to Speak English – English Language Learning Methods
Admin - Mar 11 2016
English is continually becoming a global language. It is now being used extensively in business, education and entertainment. Learning to speak English is essential to anyone who wishes to communicate and interact with the rest of the world effortlessly. Like learning any other language, learning to speak English requires willingness, commitment, and persistence. However, should not scare you away as the experience can be fun and rewarding depending on the approach and the methods that you use. Here are a few methods that you can use to learn how to speak English fluently.
How to Select and Create Effective ESL Materials
Admin - Feb 20 2016
Educators need to take considerable effort in choosing or building their collection of learning materials. Otherwise, haphazardly selected teaching aids that poorly match the students' cultural background or level of competency will only prevent the learning process from smoothly moving forward. As is often the case, poorly selected learning materials generate confusion among learners instead of the planned appreciation of the subject matter. This is doubly true in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) where the learning dynamic is usually between a native English speaker who functions as the knowledge source and a class of non-native speakers whose socio-linguistic contexts are very distinct from their teachers.
Overview of Learning Methodologies
Admin - Feb 06 2016
Learning is the process of acquiring any information that modifies a person's behavior, values and knowledge base. An ongoing process that starts as early as the fetal stages in humans, learning occurs in many forms including instinctive, experiential, conscious, and purposed learning. Personal experiences, formal education, and controlled training are some of the general scenarios within which learning can be administered. Some types of learning--such as native language skills--occur over time as part of the learner's daily social interactions. Some--like martial arts training--are consciously undertaken by learners who are motivated by various reasons to learn a particular subject, discipline, or skill. Others such as primary education, are mandated by governments and as such, are compulsory activities.
Top Teaching Markets That Value Maturity and Life Experience
Admin - Feb 02 2016
While it is no secret that certain regions make it more difficult for TEFL instructors of a certain age to find work, there are still various markets who value the experience that comes with hiring more mature TEFL instructors. Focusing your job search on these markets will help the process along, but freelance teaching (i.e. tutoring without a third party school involved) and using your experience to specialize in teaching a target market (i.e. teaching business English) are also great ways for these candidates to get your foot in the door.
Challenges in Teaching English as a Second Language to Young Learners
Admin - Jan 29 2016
Teaching young learners English as a second language has a number of challenging aspects that are rarely encountered in teaching English to older children and adults. Younger children are restless and may not give their teacher their full attention which makes learning new vocabulary and grammar very difficult. Younger children often have very little reason or need to learn a foreign language.
Using Storytelling as a Teaching Tool for Young Learners
Admin - Jan 24 2016
Children love stories. They can remain enthralled for hours listening to fantastic, scary or funny tales. Stories are an important part of bedtime and some kids can't go to sleep without their bedtime story. Given this love for storytelling, it's not hard to understand why storytelling is an effective tool for teaching English to early foreign language classes. Why should teachers use stories?
Vocabulary Builders: Helping Young Learners Improve their Vocabulary Skills
Admin - Jan 19 2016
Strong vocabulary skills are the foundation to successful reading comprehension. Research has shown that kids who have weak vocabulary when they enter kindergarten are more likely to struggle when learning to read. Kindergartners will learn about 3,000 new words in a single school year so it is imperative for any educator to help young learners learn as much vocabulary skills as they need to be successful. The National Reading Panel identified four types of vocabulary.

Sprague — The town's largest taxpayer and employer, Fusion Paperboard, announced Wednesday that it plans to close its Sprague mill in September and lay off about 140 employees, said state Sen. Cathy Osten, who is the town's first selectwoman.
The news comes one year after Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Osten welcomed news that the state Department of Economic and Community Development had approved a 10-year, 3 percent loan of
$3 million to help Fusion expand operations, retain 147 jobs and create 20 new jobs with a $6 million upgrade project.
Osten said she received word Wednesday morning following the announcement to employees at the plant. The plant, formerly known as Cascades Boxboard Group, contributed about $250,000 to the town's tax rolls last year, she said.
"I think this was a complete surprise to everyone," said Osten, a Democrat. "From a first selectman's perspective, we did a lot of work to ensure they were treated with respect and did what we could to make them successful."
Osten said the town had forgiven a $50,000 building permitting fee and worked to secure a three-year agreement with Norwich Public Utilities to halt a planned sewer rate increase.
Osten said she has already contacted Malloy's office to look into terms of the $3 million loan but said she has had no indications the company plans to walk away from repayment of the loan. She said she plans to meet with company officials.
"I'm certainly concerned about the $3 million, but right now I'm most concerned about the 140 families facing unemployment," Osten said.
After 29 years working at the plant on Inland Road, Rich Harrelle, 54, said he was caught off guard when he was called in with other employees Wednesday morning and told about the planned closing. The plant is to close Sept. 22, he said.
Harrelle, who is a turbine engineer at the plant and president of the local 1840 of the United Steelworkers Union, said he is calling on all available legislators to help save the plant and the livelihoods of his fellow employees.
"We're going to do what we can do to hopefully keep the place running. We have two months to come up with some kind of plan to save about 140 jobs," Harrelle said. "There are so many jobs leaving Connecticut. It's just a shame."
Harrelle said company officials told workers "market conditions" had led to the closing. A company spokesman was not available to comment on Wednesday.
In a press statement announcing the planned mill improvements last year, Fusion Paperboard Chief Operating Officer Ghislain Levesque said the multimillion-dollar project to upgrade equipment at the plant "is the most important investment in a single project for the Sprague mill in the last decade." Fusion intended to overhaul and repair its paper machine, which produces recycled paper products, and a turbine that generates the power for the paper machine.
The company produces high-performance coated, recycled boxboard, folding cartons and packaging for North American food and consumer product manufacturers, according to its website. It also produces 100 percent recycled, food-grade paperboard at its Sprague mill.
OpenGate Capital purchased Fusion in 2011 when it was known as Cascades. There was a similar announcement that same year when Caraustar Industries Inc., located in an adjacent mill to Fusion, announced it was closing and laying off about 80 employees.

Poe Fans Call An End To 'Toaster' TraditionBreaking News
BALTIMORE -- Edgar Allan Poe fans waited long past a midnight dreary, but it appears annual visits to the writer's grave in Baltimore by a mysterious figure called the "Poe Toaster" shall occur nevermore.
Poe House and Museum Curator Jeff Jerome said early Thursday that die-hard fans waited hours past when the tribute bearer normally arrives. But the "Poe Toaster" was a no-show for a third year in a row, leaving another unanswered question in a mystery worthy of the writer's legacy. Poe fans had said they would hold one last vigil this year before calling an end to the tradition.
"It's over with," Jerome said wearily. "It will probably hit me later, but I'm too tired now to feel anything else."
It is thought that the tributes of an anonymous man wearing black clothes with a white scarf and a wide-brimmed hat, who leaves three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac at Poe's original grave on the writer's birthday, date to at least the 1940s. Late Wednesday, a crowd gathered outside the gates of the burial ground surrounding Westminster Hall to watch for the mysterious visitor, yet only three impersonators appeared, Jerome said....

Widening Madison
WEBB CITY -- City officials in Webb City say the construction along Madison avenue is on track to be finished by the August 14 target date. Crews are widening the street from two lanes to three, adding in a center turn lane. They are also working on installing a five foot wide sidewalk on the east side of the road. The goal of the $125,000 project is to ease traffic backups around the high school. Crews should have the work done before school starts, weather permitting.

Through the first two years, we have processed roughly 100 entries; issued 18 awards; published two special reports in Bio·IT World; twice held prestigious awards ceremonies and dinners at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.; published two compendiums of each year's entries and distributed those as a token of appreciation to all entrants (2004 participants will receive theirs shortly); and recently launched a Best Practices newsletter to more expansively share BP results within the wider bio-IT community.
"Our participation has proved beneficial in several ways. First, it has provided a high-profile vehicle for sharing some of the ways we have been able to use current technologies to improve and enhance how catastrophic childhood diseases are captured and reported. Further, [the] recognition helped to increase institutional awareness regarding our current success and the potential for greater returns on investment over the short and long term," said Bill Smith, project manager.
Recently, we were able to put a University of Leipzig (UL) researcher in contact with a Scripps Research Institute researcher after he asked for more information upon reading an extract of Scripps' 2004 Best Practices entry, describing efforts to identify sepsis biomarkers, that had appeared in our monthly Best Practices newsletter. We also provided the UL researcher with the full text of the Scripps entry.
These are modest accomplishments, but they nonetheless represent Bio·IT World's commitment to play a role in identifying important new technologies and success strategies, and our commitment to sharing that information.
In preparation for the 2005 Best Practices Awards program, we have refreshed the Web site explaining the program and entry process, added a list of dos & don'ts developed from past experience, and posted a sample entry as guidance.
We've also expanded the number of categories. They include Drug Manufacturing, Infrastructure (IT Hardware and Systems Software), Lab Automation, Discovery Tools and Equipment, Computational Biology and Informatics, Knowledge Management and Collaboration, Regulatory Compliance, Business Strategies, and Promising Young Company. Once again, an outside panel of experts will choose the winners, and our gala awards ceremony and dinner will again be held at the National Press Club.
The deadline for entries is March 15, and I urge all of you to consider submitting entries. It delivers good PR for your company, added leverage for your project, broader exposure for your career development, and important, useful feedback for the industry.

Chromecast, in its current iteration, has been on our shelves for awhile now, and has remained one of the highest quality streaming devices in the world, rising above the challenges of bigger (read: more expensive) streaming video boxes.
So what's helped it stand the test of time since its inception three years ago?
First, It's one of the simplistic and easy to use streaming devices. All you need to do is plug it into the HDMI port on the back of your TV, hook it up to Wi-Fi via the Chromecast app, and then it's off to the races. Secondly, at $35 (£30, AU$49), it's cheap.
Other big budget boxes from Roku, Apple and Amazon go for three or four times the cost of Chromecast, and for what? An interface and a remote? That's not Chromecast's style.
So then, just what is Chromecast's style?
Well, before we get into the nitty gritty details, let's rehash the story of how the original stole our hearts.
Chromecast: what is it?
The idea behind the Chromecast was to bring smart functionality to the series of "dumb" TVs that hit the market before smart TVs rose to popularity near the end of the last decade.
Like the original, the new Chromecast plugs directly into your TV's HDMI port (make sure it has one of those before you buy it) and streams video from your mobile phone, tablet or PC.
Here's the odd part: it doesn't have a remote or a user-interface per se. Google's little streamer will sit there like an electronic canine waiting for your other devices to tell it what to do.
- Read: 1080p not doing it for you? Read up on the rumored Chromecast 4K
It's different in that way from its main competition – the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Roku Streaming Stick – the two devices that only came about after Chromecast's debut. All of these devices can take streaming content from apps like Netflix, Sling TV, HBO Now and, in Amazon Fire TV's case, Amazon Prime Video, and toss it onto your TV.
But more impressive than any individual external detail or snippet of code is its price. The new Chromecast only costs $35 (£30, AU$49), around $10 or £5 less than its closest competitor. At roughly the cost of two Blu-rays, it's tough to turn down.
Chromecast vs. the competition
The Chromecast's calling card is the ability to sync with your mobile phone, tablet and PC. Few devices work as seamlessly with your electronics as Chromecast does, and any that do require you to be bought into a particular family of products.
Chromecast vs. Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick: Chromecast is by far the cheaper streaming stick and can outperform Amazon's streaming device, thanks to its new-and-improved 802.11ac Wi-Fi antenna. Both Amazon products – $99 (£79, about AU$140) for the box and $39 (£35, about AU$56) for the stick – come with a remote, but also rely heavily on a subscription to Amazon Prime to function at their fullest potential.
That said, if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber you won't be able to watch the service on Google's streaming stick – Amazon's mobile app doesn't support Google Cast functionality.
Chromecast vs. Roku 3 and Roku Streaming Stick: Here's a story of David and the Goliath. The circular Chromecast does much of what the $99 (£79, about AU$140) Roku 3 does, though it depends more on your phone, tablet and PC to keep pace. Roku is known for having thousands of channels of content and universal search functionality that allows you to search multiple sources at once.
Google has adopted the latter into the latest version of its Chromecast app, but doesn't have near the amount of channels Roku has. If you're looking for full-size streaming device with access to any and every streaming service, Roku can't be beat. If you're looking for a simplistic solution to putting audio and video on your TV, however, Chromecast is the way to go.
Chromecast vs. the new Apple TV: Apple TV, like Amazon's streamer, favors its own ecosystem, at least in terms of hardware. On the software side of things, Apple opened up its app store to every developer for the first time in the history of its home entertainment device, making it a bit more well-rounded than the Chromecast. It also includes a new remote and an 802.11ac antenna, identical to the one found in the new Chromecast. That said, Apple TV costs a whopping $149 (about £96, AU$200).

TravelPod Member ReviewsIbis Casa Voyageurs Casablanca
Super easy to get to from the airport, staff were welcoming, clean and had good wifi.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We arrived from train and upon exit saw Hotel Ibis, little did we know that it is a chain and this particular one was not the one where we had a reservation. We opted to stay here anyway for the convenience factor. It was fine, clean and much like a Marriot Courtyard. Breakfast was horrible.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ibis Casa Voyageurs Casablanca
Convinient for train travelleing
I stayed there with my wife for one night, travelling further to Marrakech by train next morning. We arrived around midnight. Receptionist was nice and polite although I didn't understand why he was surprised to see guests at midnight. Room was Ibis size (rather small but expected). Bathroom had dirty feeling with only one towel and opened (used?) soap. I went to the reception and asked for another towel and soap and was given with no problem. Breakfast is not included in the room (around 5 EUR per person additionally) and I guess it is worthy. Hotel is definitely worth to stay if you travel by train otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. Another tip - if you are travelling by train go and by tickets early, I went around 7 AM and there was almost nobody there (some of the staff even speak English). Later at 9 AM there was quite a queue at the ticket desk.
Good moderate choice
I stayed here two times, for one night each, while traveling in and out of Casablanca. I was satisfied each time and found the Ibis comparable to a moderate Days Inn or similar in the U.S. In other words, at roughly $50 a night it may be luxurious to the average Moroccan, but it is not by Western standards. Still, my rooms each had adequate lighting, a phone, a TV, and a clean bathroom with plenty of hot water. My understanding is that the breakfast buffet is included in the price and not optional. During my second stay, in mid-April, the room was rather warm; I was told that air conditioning is turned on only in June, July and August. I would think that would be a problem in May or September, especially since leaving a window open for the breeze is not a great option because of the noise from the adjacent train station. It is important to book ahead. I almost did not get a room during my first visit because I was advised by my riad owner in Fes that it was probably not necessary. (When I arrived the Ibis staff told me no room was available but ultimately canceled another reservation because it was evening already.) The only other hotel by the Casa-Voyageurs train station is atrocious (Hotel Terminus), and you don't want to be stuck there, even if it is only $10 a night. The Ibis could not be more convenient to the train station; and while it is not centrally located, cabs are cheap and plentiful right outside the door, if you want to go downtown. (I tried walking and got hopelessly lost, so a cab is definitely smarter.)
No room at the Ibis
Despite booking well in advance directly with Ibis, when my family arrived on the 10pm train from the airport, we were told there was 'a problem' and that the three rooms were not available. We were put in a taxi to 'another hotel, only 5 minutes'. 15 minutes later, in the dark in a strange city, we arrived at the other hotel - a scary quarter of an hour.
I'm pleased to say that the other hotel was good enough, and that the taxi driver duly arrived to collect us again in the morning - and that we were not out of pocket.
Such 'problems' no doubt occur in all industries, and the staff of the Ibis solved this one without too much trouble.

good value rooms and service for the price, but only if you are armed with a set of earplugs. The downside of the close location to the train station (my balcony was almost on the platform!) is the constant train noise and car horn honking - it goes on all night!
Hotel Chain of Morocco
I stayed at the Ibis in Casablanca on two non-consecutive locations during my trip to Morocco. It's location is good for travellers as it is right next to the main train station of Casablanca - Voyaguers. The hotel is a bit away from the city centre, although I don't feel like there is much to see in Casablanca anyway. The Hotel room itself was of normal size, carpeted, and had a good bathroom. Ibis Moussafir is like the Holiday Inn of Morocco, so it is a little more expensive, but the rooms are comfortable, clean, and even have English TV channels. The breakfast is a bit pricey, but it is large, but you don't have to take it if you don't want to.
Convenient location, overpriced
I stayed at the Ibis for 1 night in December 2005. Great location to catch the train. It was overpriced for the amenities. Very average. December breakfast buffet. The rooms did reek of cigarette smoke (not surprised since the majority of males in Maroc smoke). I would not stay here again.
Comfortable, peaceful, clean and good facilities
If you are travelling Morocco by train and are staying in mid-range hotels, the Moussafir chain is a great option. We stayed in Moussafir in 3 different cities back in 2000. At that time, they all provided good accommodation with ensuite bathroom, hot water, hairdrier, TV, CH and comfortable beds. Service was also good. We have never been to any of their restaurants. By taking a look at other reviews we can see that conditions haven't changed much since then. Prices are expensive for local standards but good value if you are travelling with Euros or US dollars. Guests comprise a mixture of local businessmen and foreign travellers. It compares favourably to other accommodation.
Value for money
this hotel is value for money. it is clean and the rooms are well priced. don�t expect the best service and the cleanest place but for what you are paying it is correct. located right beside the train station so if you want to leave casablanca...like i did because the city is really not worth it....for better parts of the country you can. and to get into the center of the city it is only a 6-8 min taxi.
i stayed there based on reviews from this site and i would say that everyone�s reviews are pretty spot on.
Clean Safe and Very Convenient
We visited four Moroccan cities and in Casablanca we stayed for 3 nights at Ibis, on the 22nd, 25th and 26th of May. We used Casablanca as our base and as we were travelling by train the Ibis was very very convenient, just one minute walk from the station. We had no noise problems, the price for the double room was affordable and the rooms were clean. If we go back to Casablanca we will stay there again. We stayed at the Ibis Hotel at Fez too and we had a similar good experience. Also very close to the train station.
Fine for a night, but don't eat at the restaurant...
We only stayed here for one night at the tail end of our trip in Morocco so that we could easily get to the airport for our flight home. We didn't expect much (we're budget travellers and usually stay for under $20 in hotels with much more character) but our expectations were still not met. The room (although non-smoking) reeked of smoke, and the staff at the front dest was exceedingly rude (even though we didn't approach them with any problems- they were just rude during check-in and check-out). We had been ill from eating something bad earlier in the trip, so were playing it safe before the flight home and wanted to get familiar foods in the hotel restaurant, but the service was TERRIBLE. The worst I've ever experienced. Everything we ordered for the lunch and dinner that we ate there had something wrong with it- we received spaghetti instead of lasagna, fries instead of rice, two creme caramels instead of one (and even though we sent one back we were charged for both) and every time we ordered a drink we had to remind the waiter a few times before we actually got it. Anyway, I wouldn't stay here again- for the price you can get a much nicer experience in Casa.

Editor's Note: In place of our normal Take Two Tuesday, we had Dave Telep chime in on two hot topics in the recruiting world: the new-look July evaluation period (which begins Wednesday) and the NCAA's recent smackdown of four AAU programs that had ties to agents. For more info, read Andy Katz's Daily Word on how coaches are reacting to the summer changes and Telep's piece on the AAU bans.
1) A shorter window for evaluation
Welcome to July 2.0, the NCAA's answer to a request by the college basketball coaches. The past few years, college coaches were shut out of the spring evaluation period, told to stay home while AAU teams hooped it up in April.
The coaches begged for another chance, promised to behave if they were allowed back. The NCAA conceded, but the currency to pay for the concession came in the month of July.
The NCAA shortened the July evaluation period, creating three, four-day windows for events without really asking anyone's opinion. What we now have is a shortened July in which event directors cram the same number of events into a tighter schedule. Will it work? What are the ramifications? Well, until we go through a complete cycle, we can only speculate.
The first impression is that travel is difficult. The windows to see players close quicker in the new format, so being in multiple places is exponentially harder. The big dogs with the private planes and astronomical budgets will have to manage their time well. The guys in the low and mid-major leagues who can't afford to travel the same way are forced to make tough decisions and be crisp with their plans.
Murray State doesn't have Kentucky's budget and therefore travel decisions are played out on a different economic field. While UK can gas up, wheels up and off to another city, Murray might be anchored in a spot to ride out an event. Will the Racers see fewer players than in a typical recruiting cycle? Most believe the answer is yes.
The effect on the players themselves will be minimal. They'll notice less time to recover and relocate to the next event. Maybe in the past, they squeezed out a day or two at home between events. With the new calendar, that might not be an option.
Any time you take a calendar and shave off days without eliminating events, you're putting everything into a vice and squeezing. There's a breaking point. The questions on everyone's minds -- have we reached it, can it be squeezed tighter, or do all of the actors involved need more time for the month to play out?
The only way to judge is to go through a cycle, take notes and gauge if it worked. In Year 1 of the new rules, that's exactly what we're doing.
2) NCAA strikes a blow aimed at agents
Days before the July period tipped off, the NCAA set off a bottle rocket aimed at sports agents. An email allegedly from agent Andy Miller led to the sanctioning of four AAU teams, the muscle behind their operations and the removal of four familiar faces from this month's summer scene.
The NCAA said these team operators couldn't command their clubs in July and needed to step away. Basically, they banned T.J. Gassnola, Matt Ramker, Desmond Eastmond and Tony Edwards.
Behind the curtain, the NCAA aimed its limited powers in this matter at something it had control over: team certification for the month of July. However, the real goal was to out an agent who they may have suspected of funneling money and expenses to third parties and filtering it down the food chain. It's no secret that in the grassroots world, agents and runners plant seed money among willing third-party participants.
The ban of the four men serves as a wake-up call to others who have direct and indirect ties to agents. There are others out there. They're difficult to catch and even more difficult to try proving guilty. To me, this move by the NCAA indicates that no matter how slim the evidence may be, the NCAA is going to act and won't be afraid to peek into Pandora's box.
The NCAA did what it could by banning three of the four teams, removing their muscle and allowing the prospects who were not sanctioned to find alternative teams. One team kicked out its coach; two more changed names and distanced themselves from the named parties. The good news is that the kids who need scholarships haven't been affected.
The timing of the decision to ban had to be planned. Days before the July period tipped, the NCAA acted. It was high-profile and highly effective in terms of shedding light on a problem. It didn't solve the problem, but it put everyone on alert and sent a flare across the bow of those who are thinking about circumventing the system, no matter how loose it is.

Andre Ward Rips Froch-Kessler II: Jabs Carl, Eddie Hearn
By Luke Furman
WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward has ripped IBF king Carl Froch and his promoter Eddie Hearn. Ward says the two men are "misleading the fans" when they make comments regarding their desire to put together a potential rematch. A year ago, Ward defeated Froch by way of a unanimous decision to win the Super Six Tournament. Froch is now inching closer to a rematch with Mikkel Kessler, who holds the WBA's "regular" title at the weight. Froch has been demaning a Ward rematch in the press, but Ward says the Nottingham star wants nothing to do with him.
"Listen, I'm not interested in anything Froch says. Carl Froch would rather pick on Kessler than fight me! He's going after the weak link! That's fine, but Carl Froch and Eddie Hearn need to stop misleading the fans! Tell the truth. You don't want to fight! I hope Carl Froch and Kessler don't fight around a holiday, wouldn't want the big man to lose focus 3 days before the fight," Ward blasted on the social networks.

Kevin Cuneo: It doesn't hurt to ask
When auctioneer Tim Rocco holds liquidation sales this week for two longtime Erie tavern/restaurants, it will afford bidders an opportunity to own a piece of local history.
I have fond memories of both places -- On Deck Tavern and Oscar's Pub -- for different reasons. On Deck, located across the street from the dusty softball fields, offered an oasis where you could wet your whistle.
Oscar's Pub stands out in mind because it was the place where my wife and I had our first date 28 years ago.
Who wouldn't want a souvenir from either place? Actually, I've been regularly collecting such items at similar sales in recent years, which is why we have so many beer signs, old kettles, framed prints and other items in the basement.
There's so much "memorable stuff," in fact, that my sons recently accused me of hoarding junk.
I am not a hoarder, but I do like to bid at auctions and have become something of a wheeler-dealer. That's how I like to think of it, although my family considers me a nut.
A lot of people visit garage sales and try to work the price, but I've discovered that many retail places are also open to offers.
For example, a big-box appliance store accepted my bid for a dishwasher that was already on clearance. Never mind that it's turned out to be the world's worst dishwasher.
I recently made an offer on bedroom furniture, a kitchen chair and a bookcase that the salesman accepted.
When I winked at my wife, she said, "Why didn't you just ask for free delivery?"
Last January, a store at the Millcreek Mall wanted $10 for neckties on a clearance table. I walked away with one for just $7.
OK, OK. I'll admit I've misfired a time or two. Years ago, when I stumbled into the bidding for an old Cadillac at an auction, I neglected to check the other side of the car, which was pretty bashed in.
The car turned out to be a terrible lemon -- "The worst car I've seen in 30 years on the job," my mechanic said. And I eventually lost $600 on the deal. But, hey, not even Babe Ruth batted 1.000.
It's not as if I'm a tightwad, I'm just trying to have a little fun.
The key is to approach the seller with the right attitude. You can't just walk up, make a demand and say "take it or leave it." No, you have to use a little finesse -- start by asking the seller if he's open to an offer. You'd be surprised how often he is.

"This invitation is exactly what we were looking for! It is elegant, with a traditional design. Ours arrived with beautiful color and we are 100% satisfied!"
"These invitations are wonderful. The quality is excellent and our guests are loving them. We wanted something fun, not stuffy. Beautiful and classy, but down to earth. These fit the bill perfectly! The process went very smoothly except the delivery was a bit delayed."
"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."
"These perfectly fit the update we were looking for on the traditional black and white invitation. Wedding Paper Divas did a great job editing the wording to reflect my husband's late parents, and customizing the back. We tied them together with Tartan plaid ribbons to add a little extra holiday pop for our December wedding. We received so many compliments and couldn't have been happier!"
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."

Kell Brook Ready: I'm Gonna Expose Shawn Porter!
By Shaun Brown
It's been a long time coming but Kell Brook's moment of truth is finally here.
After a 2013 which saw his IBF welterweight title clash with then champion Devon Alexander called off three times, a somewhat unnecessary rematch with Carson Jones and the biggest win of his career against Vyacheslav Senchenko. There still remained disappointment that Brook 32-0 (22 KOs) had still not challenged for a world title.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, British boxing fans will either have their hopes realised that the Yorkshireman is in fact 'The Special One' as he calls himself or have their fears confirmed that the chance has ultimately passed after he faces the current IBF 147lb title holder, Shawn Porter 24-0-1 (15 KOs) at the StubHub Center, California.
When speaking to BoxingScene.com before he flew out to America for his biggest test to date, Brook was aware of the criticism that he and his promoter Eddie Hearn have had thrown at them after a frustrating 18 months. The 28 year old gave his own explanation as to why he thought that was.
"I think people wanna see if Kell Brook can really fight," said the unbeaten Brit.
"It's not always been my fault, politics behind it mean it's (a world title shot) not happened. The thing is I'm 32-0 and people wanna see if I can fight at the top level and they're gonna see on the 16th that I'm the real deal."
The former British welterweight champion who used to watch the likes of his idol Naseem Hamed do his thing at the iconic Ingles Gym in Sheffield knows it's sink or swim time. After recent career setbacks there is a sizeable amount of pressure on his shoulders to deliver another world title back to British boxing. Despite Brook describing himself as 'laid back' when it comes to such demands there is a dawn of realisation as to how big Sat night has become.
"I am laid back but at the back of my mind I know it's the biggest fight of my life. When I walked into a gym as a youngster I've always wanted to become champion of the world. This is the one, this is the one that I've been training for all my life. I am a kinda cool customer, laid back but at the back of my mind I know it's a huge fight. But, you know, I've had huge pressure in Sheffield my own backyard. I seem to deal with that pressure quite nicely. It's gonna be what it's gonna be. I've done all the hard work. It's just about me and Porter sharing that ring together on the 16th."
And what of Porter? The 26 year old champion from Akron, Ohio has all of a sudden blossomed into a devastating force at 10st 7lbs after bullying Devon Alexander into giving up his world title last December and ruthlessly dismantling Paulie Malignaggi inside four rounds in his first defence back in April. Two good wins that top anything and anyone Brook has ever fought and beat are the media and fans getting carried away with how good he is?
"It's debatable," he answered.
"We'll see in this fight. He's come on the scene and I don't believe everything about this Shawn Porter. I'm gonna expose him on the 16th. People are gonna see and people are gonna know about my talent and why they call me 'The Special One'. They'll know on the 16th why."
Combine the punching power and accuracy from Brook, the power and relentlessness from Porter and it looks on paper as we may have ourselves a very competitive world title fight that will unlikely go the distance. Brook told 'Scene he doesn't care if it's a war or a chess match. He's trained for every scenario. In his opinion, the best of the challenger will beat the best of the champion.
"I expect it to be what it's gonna be. I've prepared for every different avenue. I've prepared hard and prepared well. Whatever happens in that ring on the night I'm prepared for. I've left no stone unturned and believe me I'm ready.
"I'm not concentrating on Shawn Porter and what he's done in his last fights or what he's capable of doing. I've been training for these past three months and it's been the best Kell Brook and the best Kell Brook beats the best Shawn Porter for me."
As people in and around the Brook camp have been telling us this is the best that he has ever looked. And during his phone interview with 'Scene it was clear to the ears that mentally he is full of belief, positivity and convinced that this is his time. A far cry from the fighter that came close to walking away from the sport after several months of setbacks that eventually saw Matchroom stablemate, Lee Purdy fight Devon Alexander, and not Brook.
"There has been some dark times," Brook admitted.
"I've got good people around me. It's been hard, there's no other way of putting it. It's been very hard. But what can you do, what can you do? It's about being patient and I knew it was just a matter of time. I knew nothing was gonna get in my way this time. It was just a waiting game and making sure that everything in the plan was there to be done.
"I've had Eddie telling me what's gonna happen and to be patient and carry on with what I'm doing and here we are. Whatever he's said is what's happened. I'm here now and the fight's not far away."
And with the fight just around the corner, it's as welcome for his fans back in Sheffield as it is for himself. They too have had to deal with the waiting game and the wondering if they are going to see another boxing star emerge from the 'Steel City' much like Naz did in the 90s.
"A lot of the fans are buzzing about this fight but is it what is, it's been going on for a while. This should've happened a year and a half ago. So people are still kinda waiting to see what Kell Brook's all about and basically we're here now. They don't have too long to wait. I need to go out there and do what I've been doing in training. Whatever happens in that ring whether I box or whether I fight I'm willing to lay it all on the line in that fight. And I know that winning this fight I'll get the utmost respect from all the fans all over the world. I'll be a superstar overnight."

Obama's battleground fight

President Barack Obama hits potential swing states to campaign for his re-election.
jackie: Trump isn't a Politician and a professional debater like hillary. She's been in the corrupt political scene for 40 years. Even in Yale, she was writing in the Political College paper, proudly calling cops--PIGS. she's been a radical hater from the start. She's also been racist from college on through the 90's. Go to You Tube and watch her racist comments. Secret service that worked for them through the years have written books and did interviews on how both her and Bill used the "N" word all the time. She's no champion for Women or Children. She's the one that got a 41 year old man off on the rape of a 12 year old girl. Then Laughed about it, saying she knew he was guilty. She goes where the wind blows, and has the devil in her heart. Sure, she is protected by the MSM and Elites Globalist's-- but pray God that most people see her for the phony and dangerous Liar she really is.These people are the most corrupt, deceitful Money and Power crazy people ever. They are evil immoral people, and they have only cared about themselves in this life. Don't trust her. Something really evil happened to the Democrat party in the past few decades, and they are Not the party of Kennedy. I'm sure Trump will slip up because he's not versed in the Word Game that politicians use, but he has our vote for the next 4 years. God Bless Him.

Currant Pug
The currant pug (Eupithecia assimilata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found across the Nearctic and Palearctic regions and the Near East.
This species is rather similar to the wormwood pug, with warm brown forewings and a triangle of black spots close to the costa, but can be recognized by its broader wings and a more prominent white spot close to the tornus. The wingspan is 17–22 mm. Two broods are produced each year with adults on the wing in May and June and again in August.
The larva, as the name suggests, feeds on currant, but will also feed on hop. The species overwinters as a pupa.

Qahwa isn't wine
Just how caffeinated do you like to be? A medical study has found that the more coffee subjects guzzled during the day, the lower their risk of contracting a rare form of head and neck cancer. People who drank at least 4 cups a day seemed to cut their risk by one-third.
Who doesn't love to have a vice transformed into a virtue? A classic part of coffee's mystique is the name "coffee" itself. The uncertainty around its etymology spans continents.
Leave it to the Italians to introduce coffee to the rest of Europe, as caffe. This word derives from the Turkish kahveh, which in turn stems from Arabic qahwah, short for qahhwat al-bun, meaning "wine of the bean." This poetic phrase led to the misunderstanding that qahwah also meant "wine."
Take another sip before you read on. Some researchers suggest that the story of coffee's name goes further, originating from the Ethiopian region of Kaffa which is one of the historic homes of the bean. In Kaffa, coffee is called buno, and in Arabic the raw bean can be known as bunn. Returning to the lovely "wine of the bean," qahhwat al-bun, both Ethiopian words are present.
To close, here are a few lesser-known coffee drinks. See if you know how they are made, and what they taste like.
Qahwa isn't wine
You're so cool! I don't believe I've truly read anything like this before. So wonderful to find someone with original thoughts on this issue. Seriously.. thank you for starting this up. This web site is something that is needed on the internet, someone with some originality!|
I once read that when a man drinks a lot of coffee, his semen will taste bitter.
blabberwocky – January 19, 2011 – 2:46 p.m.
How can something that smells so wonderful taste so icky…sigh.
@best programmable coffee maker:
Some tips:
- Start with a free platform like WordPress
- Have a distinct writing style
- Include pictures in your blog posts
- Be unique!
Amazing blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Cheers!
Also I believe the word "mocha" comes from the port city Mokha in Yemen. Thought that was pretty cool too.

I have no clue how people like coffee I wonder how you make coffee
SF2! It sucks that you've lost love ones to cancer. It's gotta be ONE OF THE worst ways to die. Due to your experience, I'm sure you'll find what I'm about to tell you hard to believe…
Cancer doesn't have a cure because it's not a disease… unless you consider imbalance to be a disease. It's not "formed" it "grown"…
the over-growth of a basic component that's as necessary for human life as is air…
FOOD(diet) IS THE MEDICINE… no drug can kill your white blood cells without killing you or part of you. Proper diet, exercise and neurological stimulation make the body untouchable to disease AND create a balanced organism that thrives even under wretched conditions.
[...] coffee lover has a term of endearment for his or her cup of brew. Here are the stories behind some of [...]
How interesting and how cool. "Wine of the bean" how lovely. I love to pass this information on to other people and they think I'm the real intellect of the group. How funny—READ,guys,READ.
liked this post. makes sense and i like coffee
"wine of the bean" coffee coffee coffee loves you so much mmmmmmm. Thanks for the very interesting info. Have more reasons to drink more coffee… heheheh
yep. the turks brought us coffee. see, they were going to conques some european city in the medival era(i don't remember what city it is) but reinforcments came and they hsd to flee, giving us coffee and helping protect Christianity(by not conguering the city)
It's truly some good stuff.And to think that my mom hates when I drink coffee.
I think Joker should be the next Poet Laureate. I liked the poem and I share your love of coffee.
My true desire is that people (or those who think they are doctors or fact finders) stop telling people that coffee or any other food item prevents or lowers cancer effects. If we knew for sure or even partially that coffee or certain foods did this, we'd be closer to a cure. My family are avid coffee drinkers and all died from some form of cancer; just keep it real to the fun facts and stop trying to make food a deterrent to cancers, it is about the genes and our total environment that cause cancers. At one time, they believed coffee caused cancers.
Keep it real, please. who really knows?
I guess that is where the Bunn industrial coffee maker brand comes from. How bout that?
After so many years (not revealing how many!) I have finally learned to enjoy coffee. It used to taste like mud to me – and yes, fresh Kenyan coffee is the best! But even the decaf makes me jive!
Oh come on, save us! – balance out the potential of being saved from a rare cancer to the significantly increased potential of dying from a heart attack from 4+ cups per day! Alternating with a little tea is good! Everything in moderation, eh?
It would have been nice to have some dates in this article. For instance, I was under the impression that "coffee" wasn't introduced to Europe until the 16th century. Coffee had been around since the 9th century in Yemen, if I recall correctly, so I'm just wondering at that omission of information. I know we're primarily talking about the origin of the word here, but I think it's important to include that brief history lesson alongside this information. At present, this feels like it's bordering on giving credit where credit isn't entirely due. Just saying.
For years, my office got its coffee from a service named "Bunn," which included a "Bunnomatic" coffee maker. I never guessed that Bunn and Coffee were so closely related otherwise- I wonder if its founder George Bunn knew?
The arab word qahwah rings a bell, I am from Kenya in East Africa and the Swahili word for coffee is KAHAWA, swahili being a mixture of arabic and bantu language kinda explains where the root word came from. We grow some really Good Arabica coffee in Kenya. Guess what the swahili word KOFI ( pronounced as coffee means? a slap) funny twist on words huh?
Common pronunciation in Ethiopia (where I've lived for several years) is 'bunna' (long 'u'). And many Ethiopians insist they, not the brief Italian occupiers, invented the macchiato, which they sometimes spell 'makiato'. A proper Ethiopian macchiato is made with the milk and coffee separated in the glass (and at least a centimetre of sugar on the bottom!).
I just love it and so I made a poem for it:
Coffe is the best, it is tasty and yum,
until yesterday I thought the best would be a plum,
but now that I know,
without it I will never go,
I don't know what else to say,
except that coffee is the best to this day!!!
thanks for all the interesting facts i loved them
I hoped you loved the poem I made
Coffee *AHHH*
I <3 coffee

It's not only a Turkish word,in Slovak it's Kava and doesn't one say in England, 'A cup of Java '. Kava or Kavu depending on the case is a normal Slavonic word. Coffe is good for the long term memory also.

A few years back there was a Colombian soap opera tiled "cafe con aroma de mujer" which means Coffee with the scent of a woman. In that soap opera the plot is not important. The facts spewed about coffee, its origins, usage by famous people. The fact that it just to grow in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka but due to a plague of mildew it disappeared. That is why the Brits drink tea instead of coffee.
I thought that caffeinated beverages fired up migrane..is'nt it??
thank you for this inspiring etymology…:-)
WOW!!!Interesting Article!!!!
Hey amazing!!!! All you usually hear about coffee is the negative effects…this article is cool!!
I love coffee (bunn) as call it in our country. Most of the time I was made fear in drinking bunn telling me that it can cause blood pressure. So I had been and off drinking it, however it keeps more motivated and happy. I still drink it and I shall continue to drink coffee.
It is nicely made in our home.
Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of uterine and liver cancers, and some evidence also suggests esophageal and colon cancer.
When I was in Saudi Arabia, the Qahwah was made from a coffee bean that looked to have a greenish color and is smaller than the bean we are familiar with in the west. It's brewed kind of like 'cowboy coffee' with the ground beans directly in the water, laced with cardamon, then strained though grassy fibers (never did find out what it was) into small ceramic cups. By tradition, you should always have a second cup, but it is acceptable to refuse a third by turning the cup upside down and waving it back and forth slightly. Qahwah is part of the Arab tradition of hospitality and is usually offered with dates. To this day passengers traveling on Saudia Airlines are offered Qahwah and dates in buisiness and first class.
WOO HOO, knew it was good for me – Love my JAVA. There's another words associated to the wine of the bean.
Interesting article! Just one thing, though: the Turkish word 'kahve' is spelled without an 'h' at the end (http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahve).
"…the more coffee subjects guzzled during the day, the lower their risk of contracting a rare form of head and neck cancer."
All the more reason to love coffee. *sips on a cappuccino*
wow!!!! i luv coffee
wow!!!! super info!!! now i luv it more!
And all this time I thought coffee was from Folgers Mountain. . . who knew?
Any idea who conducted the study, and where was it done?
Wine's fine anytime of day for me And now I now that i can drink in the morn wow! I'm fully Dionysian whether the bean or the grape!
Wow, "wine of the bean"! That's really interesting. Thanks.

WOW! That was my reaction to their strategic review process.
They IMMEDIATELY deemed the offer in november by shangdong as not in their best interests i mean shareholders interest. Twenty two companies contacted them?? I nearly pissed myself for laughing so hard. By April 13th they knew everything was dead. So realizing their stupidity they tried to stroke the ShangDONG only to have it blow up in their face!Literally. The telltale sign was when the CEO left. That was your clue to something was very wrong...

The Barrier Miner
|Daily newspaper
|Henry Fenton, Augustus Sydney Knight and George Alfred Mills, 1888-[1974]
|Samuel Prior 1889
|The Barrier Miner[1]
The Barrier Miner was a daily English language broadsheet newspaper published in Broken Hill in far western New South Wales from 1888 to 1974.
First published on 28 February 1888, The Barrier Miner was published continuously until 25 November 1974. Copies are available on microfilm and online via Trove Digitised Newspapers.[2] The paper was revived briefly in 2005; an index to births deaths and marriages has been prepared which also notes additional publication dates between 16 December 2005 and 31 July 2008.[3] The paper closed down for a second time in 2008 with the managing director, Margaret McBride stating that ...due to commercial reasons the paper would no longer service Broken Hill and the region...[4] The Barrier Miner served the growing mining community of Broken Hill, when the area was found to have lead ore and traces of silver. It was not until late 1884 or early 1885 that rich quantities of silver were found and the Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) was floated to mine the leases. The newspaper was published by Henry Fenton, Augustus Sydney Knight and George Alfred Mills and was distributed to Broken Hill, Tibooburra, White Cliffs, Wilcannia, Menindee, Ivanhoe. It was edited by Samuel Prior from 1888, who was also a partner (with a one-seventh share) with the main proprietors in 1905, Knight and Von Rieben Ltd. who took over in about 1890 when Fenton and Mills sold their interests. Prior may have been one of the youngest editors of a daily newspaper in Australia. He later wrote the Wild Cats column at The Bulletin, where he was later appointed editor, and was its main proprietor when he died in 1933.[5]
E. R. Kellsall took over as editor after Prior left, with Mr R.D.S. Magnusson as sub-editor. The newspaper was originally published and printed from a building in Argent Street, occupying a galvanised iron clad shed. In 1908 a substantial stone building was erected by F.J. Fairweather and Sons on the corner of Blende and Sulphide Streets.[6]
Knight and Von Rieben retired in 1907 to Adelaide and Sydney respectively, when John Smethurst (a building contractor who erected the Broken Hill Town Hall) took over as managing editor, remained in charge up to 1933 when J. F. Williams took over. E. K. Lean, joined the staff in 1893 and became assistant manager in 1918. A Sunday evening special edition was published during the 1914-1918 war featuring letters from overseas soldiers with many eager residents rushing the office for copies as soon as they came off the presses. The newspaper office was twice bombed during World War I, it is believed because of some comments made about unpatriotic behavior in the town, which was not taken well by the strong unionised workforce. Daily circulation reached 8303 in 1905, with three editions published up to about 1922 (at 1 p.m., 3:00-3:30 p.m. and 6:00-6:30 p.m.) the first and third editions being sold in Argent Street and the second edition being home delivered.[6]
James Davison (1848-1929) (managing editor of the Melbourne Herald) took over the paper in 1919, along with the Port Pirie Recorder. He left in 1922 to start the Adelaide News, (the paper which gave Murdoch's News Limited its start). Competition came in 1919 with the addition of the Barrier Daily Truth.[6]
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) [7] project of the National Library of Australia. The microfilm copies are held in the collection of the State Library of New South Wales.[8]
