A study at the Northumbria University suggests that regular exposure to second-hand smoke may damage memory. The findings are first of its kind that has linked passive smoking to everyday memory problems.
Researchers of Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group at Northumbria University made a comparative evaluation of a group of regular smokers and two groups of non-smokers. First group of non-smokers were regularly exposed to second-hand smoke, whereas second group was not. [Read: What Smoking Does to your Body]
It was found that the non-smoker group who had been exposed to second-hand smoke scored 20 per cent less than non-exposed group in a memory test. However, both the groups outperformed smoker's group which scored 30 per cent less in memory test.
The findings indicate that the deficits associated with second-hand smoke exposure increases risk of cognitive dysfunctions. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports in the past have confirmed the serious consequences on the health of people who don't smoke, but are exposed to other people's tobacco smoke.

Safe Cig went radio silent around January 28th when its site went down and no one seemed to know why (though we have our suspicions). Even the Safe Cig Twitter feed hosts its last tweet from January 22nd. The absence has come at a bit of a shock. Still, that hasn't prevented e-cig company V2 making a play for Safe Cig customers. The two primary suspicions: buyout or bust.
The Safe Cig is one of the bigger electronic cigarette vendors, but word is that they've been having trouble. Their brand (use of the word safe) made them a prime target for arguments that e-cig companies were making inappropriate harm related claims. Although the science is rapidly proving electronic cigarettes to be a far healthier alternative to smoking, Safe was probably considering a change in brand soon to alleviate these issues.
In the absence of detailed information, most of this article is conjecture, rumor mongering, and out-right best guessing on the part of the writer. We know this, but it's still worth thinking about.
At the same time, rumors are flying that Safe was having inventory and distribution issues. Customers were dropping off because they weren't getting their orders. They wouldn't be the first company to experience issues with supplies. E-cig company Stog was forced to retool not too long ago for similar issues with suppliers. Some suggest this could mean the company is going bust, having failed to retain enough customers to stay afloat.
A member of Ecig Advanced's team reached out to Safe's owner, Robert Deak, but was told no information could be shared citing that team member's involvement with another e-cig company. Sounds like Safe might not be going anywhere, but we could be wrong. This could suggest that the company is retooling and relaunching as a new brand or is being purchased (which seems more likely).
The writer has a more complicated guess. A pharmaceuticals company might be looking for a way to break into the electronic cigarette market on the cessation side of the market. A company like Pfizer or Glaxosmithkline has the money to do clinical trials and research into the damage of their products and sell them as the safest option on the market. The Safe Cig could be the perfect brand for such an endeavor. If this is the case, the products and employees of the company don't matter at all compared to simply owning the brand.
Studies are showing electronic cigarettes could be the strongest cessation option on the market once organizations like the FDA feel they have enough proof to allow them to be marketed as such. Give it a year or so and we could see Pfizer's Safe Cig offering clean delivery of nicotine, 25% enduring cessation rate, and a 200% mark up from other e-cigs on the market.
And you know what? There are people out there that will pay it.

i like your theory on a big pharm company trying to get an edge in the market… i think it would be a great move on their part, especially owning the name… but if this is that they blew it BIGTIME by dropping the customer base they already had…
it may be interesting to see what comes of this, i look forward to you keeping us posted like always, thanks…

I would think the most likely scenario is, like many, many, many other companies that used this same affiliate-based marketing model with an overpriced e-cig offering a "lifetime warranty," Safecig's "lifetime" expired when the returns and commissions owed to people who linked to them exceeded their income. They never said it was for your lifetime, did they? They made a bundle on an e-cig that can be bought for $8 wholesale!
Never fear, they will surface again under a completely new name and will start up the whole charade again. They'll recruit the same affiliates they used in the past and owe money to, but those affiliates will never realize it is the same company. Those affiliates will market the re-branded version of the same exact e-cigarette to the same people who never did get their lifetime warranties from safecig. If they are like many other here today, gone tomorrow e-cig companies, they might even use the same address for the next company. 1051 Cole Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90038 appears to be just a virtual address, anyway.

Interesting find. Oddly I just ran into my safecig kit I won on this site ages ago and had given to my mother and was debating on passing it along to someone else since she abandoned it. I don't know how well I would feel with big pharma getting up in the middle of things… so I'm going to lead for now towards "I hope not"

Wow. Had no idea Safe Cig was gone. That was the very first ecig I purchased although I never received the product and git a refund. I just got luck and ended up getting an EGO instead. I was not real happy with their customer service, as it took months to get my money refunded and it was incredibly difficult to even reach anyone. Only reason I got a response was because I posted publicly on their FB page. I bet that has something to do with the company being gone now. I say Good Riddence.

I've been a Safe Cig customer for 3 years now. I've tried other brands and I always stuck with Safe Cig because they had my favorite Menthol. I'm pretty upset as I'm just hearing of this now and it will be time to get refills soon. I know they had issues with stocking refills, and I filled out a popup survey a couple of months ago. I know that they just revamped their site and added a 24 hour help line recently. And also, last I knew everything was marked down 20% for a couple of months. I'll probably just stop completely if they don't come back. Why bother.
Any other long time Safe Cig users out there? I've been searching online for more info in hopes that it's just a domain renewal issue (the domain name has been parked) or something. Thanks for letting us know what's going on. As you said, a tweet from someone at the company would be nice.

Wow! I had no idea and am a bit sad over it. The SafeCig is the one e-cig that has came close to making my hubby a convert! He loves their batteries and flavors. I won a kit here on ECA but couldn't afford to keep up with the actual SafeCig products… they are/were a bit pricey! But, to try to replace one of the SC batts that my hubby had destroyed, I purchased a RN4081 batt from another place that was a lot cheaper. Well, the quality of the cheap one was just that… cheap! It didn't even come close to the quality of the SC batt! oh well…
Hope you keep us updated Klaus.. And thanks for the article.

I'm shocked to hear from a reader named B who said "I've been a Safe Cig customer for 3 years now. I've tried other brands and I always stuck with Safe Cig because they had my favorite Menthol. I'm pretty upset as I'm just hearing of this now and it will be time to get refills soon. I know they had issues with stocking refills, and I filled out a popup survey a couple of months ago.

I'll probably just stop completely if they don't come back. Why bother."
Why would you give up smoking for 3 whole years because you don't want to do a little research or ask people who makes a comparable menthol flavored juice? That is inane and such a waste in my opinion! There are far too many great vendors and products who won't rip you off with the kind prices "Safe Cig" was charging you. Why wouldn't you go to ECF or Vapors Lounge on FB to ask for help? Many vendors would be happy to help make you whatever flavor you want. I sincerely hope you won't give up vaping for such a silly reason in my book.

In a time when mixed martial arts is in dire need of some good news involving performance-enhancing drug abuse, Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer offered some up on Friday. The random drug tests they administered on UFC stars Shane Carwin (Pictured) and Roy Nelson ahead of their December 15th scrap have come back clean. Carwin was examined on October 18th, while Nelson was screened the following day. According to Kizer, both samples were submitted to LabCorp. Each heavyweight was tested for steroids and diuretics, but not for recreational drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. Kizer did not disclose why the NSAC didn't scan for recreational substances. Neither of the competitors have flunked drug exams in the past. The former interim heavyweight champ and Nelson were serving as opposing coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter 16." The bitter rivals will collide in the show's finale. The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the shootout.

Capturing special moments with the click of a camera can be an exciting occasion. However, taking pictures outdoors, especially on a sunny day can result in photos that are not the best quality. It is common for photos taken outdoors to come out looking either too dark or too light. You can use some basic techniques to make your outdoor photos look like they were taken by a professional photographer.
Choose specific times of the day to take photos outdoors. The best time to take photos on a sunny day is either an hour before sunset or just after sunrise.
Locate a shady location outside when taking photos on a sunny day. This will help soften the sunlight. Find a tree or a tall building to help shield the sun while taking the pictures. You can also let the subject turn his back to the sun.
Take photos on a sunny day while using a collapsible reflector or a white sheet. Reflectors help to bounce the sunlight in various unusual locations, enhancing the look of the photo.
Tilt your camera at different angles to get the best shot. Looking at the LCD screen can give you an idea of what your pictures will look like.
Use your flash when taking pictures outdoors in the sun to eliminate the shadows on the person's face.

U.K. Needs 'Urgent Action' to Keep Banks in London, BBA Saysby
International banks are moving jobs away, cutting investment
Regulations to cut wholesale banking returns to less than 10%
British lawmakers need to take "urgent action" to ensure the U.K. maintains its position as the leading global financial center or risk the departure of banks to cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong, according to the British Bankers' Association.
New regulations, taxes and depressed economic activity in Europe have resulted in an 8 percent drop in British banking jobs, with two-thirds of BBA members saying they've moved business elsewhere since 2010, the lobby group said in a report Friday. The BBA recommends a softening of the law separating retail operations from investment banking, further tax cuts and a reworking of visa limits to make it easier to hire from abroad.
"We have now reached a watershed moment in Britain's competitiveness as an international banking center" and "many international banks have been moving jobs overseas or deciding not to invest in the U.K.," BBA Chief Executive Officer Anthony Browne said in the report. "Wholesale banking is an internationally mobile industry and there is a real risk this decline could accelerate."
'New Settlement'
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, 44, outlined a "new settlement" for the City of London in a speech in June, pledging to curtail huge fines and amend regulations to "get the balance right." As memories fade of the 1 trillion pounds ($1.5 trillion) of U.K. taxpayer support given to banks amid the 2008 crisis, this year the government has backed down on some issues after lobbying from the BBA, while HSBC Holdings Plc has said it may leave London.
Osborne diluted a levy on U.K. banks and pushed out the regulator's chief misconduct enforcer, Martin Wheatley, and most recently u-turned on a plan to assume senior bank managers are guilty until proven innocent, which lenders blamed for hindering recruitment of top foreign executives.
"We recognize the change of tone in conduct regulation, important developments in the senior managers regime, the proposed reduction in the bank levy, greater certainty over tax for international banks," the BBA said.
Job Losses
Nevertheless, London's financial sector continues to shrink while its rivals grow, according to the report. Compared with 35,000 jobs losses and a 12 percent fall in U.K. banking assets in the past four years, assets in the U.S. have grown by the same percentage, while in Singapore and Hong Kong they have climbed by 24 percent and 34 percent respectively.
European firms are also losing market share to U.S. rivals in wholesale banking, which is the part of banks that cater to large corporates and other financial institutions. From 2010 to 2014, the wholesale market share of the top five European banks fell to 24 percent from 26 percent, whereas the share of the top five U.S. banks has risen to 48 percent from 44 percent, the BBA said.
London is also losing market share in lending and initial public offerings, the BBA said. Wholesale banking's global return-on-equity, a measure of profitability, is expected to fall to an average of 6.5 percent by 2017, about a third of the 18 percent-average between 2000 and 2006, according to the report, co-authored by consulting firm Oliver Wyman.
Osborne's overtures to the industry were counterbalanced by the high cost of ring-fencing -- a law that requires splitting off retail units to protect them from investment banking losses, the BBA said. "Uncertainty arising from the rapidly changing tax regime and European Union referendum are inhibiting business planning and discouraging investment," according to the report.
The BBA's wishlist includes a demand the Chancellor cut the bank levy faster. Under current plans the tax will be reduced over six years and then limited to domestic balance sheets until 2021. The lobby group also wants an 8 percent surcharge on bank profits to be phased out over time.
Financial services is the U.K.'s biggest export industry selling 62 billion pounds abroad every year, and employing more than 405,000 people, the BBA said.

U.S. Army Dental Corps
U.S. Army
Founded in 1911, the U.S. Army Dental Corps supports America's global military mission by providing comprehensive dental care for soldiers and their families.
Serving more than 450,000 active-duty Army personnel and their families each year, the Dental Corps is the largest dental program in the world. For more than 90 years, it has provided routine and acute dental care to sustain the efforts America's warriors stationed at home and abroad. Today, the Dental Corps is staffed by more than 2,500 officers and enlisted personnel.

text: Seller: jacksonglassmill (55) 100%, Location: Cadott, Wisconsin, Ships to: US, Item: 232132753540 This piece of fused glass art depicts a cluster of hay plants. The technique called bas relief, has been used to create the curving graceful leaves. The backside of the glass is indented with the leaf design and is smooth to the touch. The flower seeds are contour fused art glass with a soft tactile feeling. The top part of the glass represents the blue sky of a hay field. The cast iron antique hay bale carrier is embedded into 2 pieces of reclaimed oak that have been rubbed with linseed oil so that it can be placed outside. The cast iron has also been coated with linseed oil to protect it against the elements. The fused glass is hanging from the hay carrier with copper wire. Fused glass is quite sturdy; heated glass is about 5-7 times stronger than plain glass.The total measurement of the piece is 39.5" high X 21" wide X 18" deep. The glass on the bottom is 12" wide X 16.5" long. The top glass is 12" wide X 6.5" long.This beautiful piece of art would also complement the inside of someone's home. It would work well in an industrial or modern decor. It combines antique tools of the farm with the modern touch of glass.If you choose to use this art in your garden, please bring it inside in the winter if you live in a cold climate. The elements are hard on the wood. Also, retreat the wood and cast iron once a year or so by rubbing it with linseed oil. This piece of art was created in my Wisconsin studio using fusible art glass, antique hay bale carrier, and reclaimed wood from an old building. NO RETURNS please. It is too difficult to pack and ship something like this back and forth. I will answer any questions you may have as quickly and accurately as possible. Condition: Antique farm tool with new fused glass created in an art studio., Maker: Original art from my studio, Material: Cast Iron and Fused Glass

Britt Daniel fans who cut their teeth on "Girls Can Tell" and "Kill the Moonlight" may be shocked to hear how freely Daniel borrows from The Pixies and Nirvana on these first two Spoon releases, back on the streets for the first time since more than a handful of hipsters outside Austin would have recognized the name. But even at their most derivative, you won't confuse these records (now packaged together) for a Silverchair anthology. They're edgier than that, especially when Daniel goes all unhinged on the chorus of "Not Turning Off" or unleashes the squealing guitar on "All the Negatives Have Been Destroyed." Other tracks make the most of a loopy vocal style just conversational enough to suggest early Jonathan Richman, while the rhythms channel Wire. And although the songs are in no danger of replacing "Gimme Fiction" on your average Spoon fan's iPod, you can definitely hear the promise of their later triumphs in both Daniel's and drummer Jim Eno's performances. The band feels tighter and more Spoon-like on the follow-up EP, but it's missing the quirky exuberance that made the debut so much more than just another post-Nirvana hook explosion.

He said the airline, which is at the top of the profitability league, was still not making enough to pay its shareholders and renew its fleet.
But Broughton predicted that in two years BA would be achieving profit margins of ten per cent, which would trigger dividend payments and a fleet renewal programme.
BA, whose current margin stands at about seven per cent, is confident it can achieve the higher target, even though soaring fuel prices will cost an extra £400 million-a year. The company is also struggling with a huge pension deficit and debts of £3 billion.
Broughton, who was in China for the airline's inaugural flight to Shanghai, said the key to paying dividends was cutting costs.
And he said BA, which has just gone through a painful redundancy programme that cost 13,000 jobs, would be forced to make further job cuts.
The airline's move to Heathrow's Terminal 5 in 2008 would give it a chance to slash costs and change working practices. 'There is no alternative to cutting costs and it will mean further job cuts,' he said.
Broughton also disclosed that BA was in talks about buying an advanced version of the 747 jumbo jet if Boeing decides to go ahead with the model.
He hinted that BA might replace its present 747 fleet with American planes rather than the new giant Airbus A380. Meanwhile, the company is holding two trials to review the way it runs its short-haul fleet.
It is considering either copying no-frills airlines by making passengers pay for their meals, or offering even more luxury to premium passengers.

When I told my husbands step-mum that we are under going IVF, she just goes "Oh really. Well, I was born to be a mother- my children came so easily! I just had to look at my husband and I'd be pregnant. I'm just a baby maker."... Wow. Insensitivity overload. She's twice my age and her children are my age, so you'd think she would be more wise and have some motherly warmth about it.
However, I should have been more careful with who I told, seeing she's also once proclaimed when I was much younger (I was 19 back when I first met my now husband ten years ago... and her) that she "prefers the company of men because women are too b*tchy". How ironic. It's always the ones that say this that are the worst!

Campaign finance reports suggest parties' strategies
WASHINGTON — Republicans are trying to convert hard-won gains in statehouses to successes in this November's congressional elections and the 2016 race for the White House, according to a review of their campaign finance reports.
For Democrats, the next two years are more about protecting political turf and keeping a political machine humming.
Months before the midterm elections that will decide House and Senate control, with an eye on the 2016 presidential race, the major parties are making spending choices…

Her mother died with unfinished business, lots, in many areas. In Forgiveness Chiquis is seeing to it that in many areas she's setting the record straight and putting and end to things past to move on to things future.
I started out doing a story on mun2's upfronts as a segue to a story on how shows make it to TV at all. But then, as many stories do, it led into another direction and ended up in the heart of the Grammy Museum surrounded by Jenni Rivera's belongings, and her family.
"It's an issue. Studios want to tell universal stories. We want to do the same thing. But, we want to use Latino stories with Latino faces to tell universal stories. We're all part of one group. We are all humans and we all want to tell human stories."
When I got off the bike there was a single text message: It's not a rumor, Jenni's plane has vanished, on way to office, will text later. I stared at the screen. That's not possible. It's a mistake. I immediately felt so much.
Jenni Rivera can touch the heart. She's the sister you want, the mom figure, the playful wife, the business woman; she's many things. And she's Latina. And that's why so many in my world haven't heard of her.
New Latino voices. Rising talent. A directorial vision from a co-directing team of complementary talents. It could just be the recipe for a movie that packs a punch...or in the least, a really cool rhyme.


text: We were looking for a quick bite for our kids and had pizza delivered to the hotel which was convenient. The pizza quality wasn't great though, their idea of a margarita was pizza with diced tomatoes. I think they need to check the definition of that, my kids wouldn't eat it as it was covered with tomatoes. Not great.

Fernando Sor: Study in D - Classical Guitar arrangement in Standard Notation and Guitar Tab
Study in D by Fernando Sor is a very melodic classical guitar piece that is well worth playing. It's no. 17 from his Opus 35. Despite this opus being titled "24 very easy exercises", this Study in D is around grade 4 level of the guitar exams that are set in the UK for classical guitar students. Grade 4 is classed as 'lower intermediate' level.
The video contains the score in standard notation with guitar tab directly underneath. It displays line by line in time with a (MIDI-based) audio recording playing in the background. If the display is unclear or too small, view it in full screen with a high playback-quality setting.
You can also use the ("see all photos") Gallery feature to view the same score shown below the video if it's too small to see clearly on whatever you're viewing it on. The link appears when your cursor is over any part of the score.
Fernando Sor - Study in D
Sor: Study in D - Learners' Notes
The main point of this study is to give you practice in controlling the duration of the bass notes. They're not meant to be left to ring out like typical arpeggio studies. They should be stopped by your thumb. That can be left until you have some fluency in playing it, though, as it can be quite tricky to focus on controlling the bass notes while playing the other notes.
The other main difficulty lies in the barred chord shapes that you sometimes have to hold. There are some chromatic notes, such as E sharp, that are unusual in simpler pieces in the key of D. That means you should expect some unfamiliar chord shapes.
Fretting-hand fingering is shown where needed. Picking-hand fingering isn't shown but it's in typical arpeggio style using your thumb (p) for bass notes and your i, m & a fingers where they most naturally fall. See the chart for classical guitar fingering if you don't already know it.
Use rest-stroke on the upper melody notes to bring them out more clearly. Rest stroke, (also called 'apoyando') in case you don't know, is where the finger plucks the string and comes to rest on the adjacent string above. It has a more dynamic sound due to having to exert more pressure on the string to continue through to the next one. It's ideal for adding extra volume to the melody notes only.
Chord Tones
D major
Tonic (home)
A major
Dominant (leading home in D maj) or the tonic of A major
G major
Secondary dominant (to A major)
Key and Chords
The key is D major, so the two sharp key signature is employed to indicate the raising of all F and C notes on any staff lines or spaces reserved for those notes. The closely related (dominant) key of A major is also featured several times. It makes its first brief appearance in bar 4. There are several hints at other keys, too, by the use of chromatic chords.
The chord chart shows the chord tones of the most important chords.
D major is the tonic or home chord
A major is the dominant chord and also the tonic chord when the piece modulates to A major. The first modulation (key change) is at bar 4.
G major is the subdominant chord in the key of D major. In its first appearance in this piece it leads nicely to E7 just by changing one note (G to G#) in bar 3
E7 is a secondary dominant chord - meaning it's the dominant chord of a different key. In this case it's the dominant of A major - in other words, it's the 'dominant of the dominant'. It is used to effect the brief key change to A major.
Other out-of-key chords appear either as a way of hinting at a new key centre (e.g., B7 leading to E minor) or to provide an unexpected tonal contrast (e.g. D minor and A minor)
Fernando Sor
Fernando Sor (1778-1839) was a Spanish guitarist and composer from Barcelona who contributed a large volume of guitar compositions to the classical guitar repertoire, His output ranges from easy classical guitar studies to technically challenging works such as his 'Variations on a Theme of Mozart'. You can read more about Fernando Sor on Wikipedia.
More Classical Guitar Pieces to try
Here are some more classical guitar arrangements that are easier than this one. Each is from a different period: Renaissance, Baroque and Classical/ Romantic.
Wilson's Wilde - a traditional, Renaissance Period English tune that has been arranged for lute by famous Elizabethan composers such as John Dowland and William Byrde. This guitar arrangement is simple and effective, especially with lute-like effects added such as capoing at the 3rd fret and strumming (rolling) some chords instead of plucking them.
J.S. Bach - Minuet in G - A guitar transcription of a very well-known Baroque Period harpsichord composition that Bach composed for his wife. It's more difficult than Wilson's Wilde, but still easier than Sor's 'Study in D'
Carulli - Waltz in C - A simple but tuneful beginners' waltz by the renowned 18/19th century Italian guitar composer Ferdinando Carulli. This is the only one of the three that was actually written for guitar.
Study in D is composed by Fernando Sor (1778-1839) and is in the Public Domain.
The score, images and audio track are by chasmac and produced on Finale, Goldwave and Photoshop.

In the history department we are enthusiastic about our subject and about the benefits that we believe it offers students. History is vital as it offers an excellent understanding of the way that the world has changed and developed in the past and so helps us to understand the world in which we live today. History is taught by a dedicated team of specialists who believe in challenging students to broaden both their knowledge and skills. We strive to create exciting, imaginative and inspiring lessons through a variety of different techniques.
RT @OutwoodBydales: Teacher of Drama? Make a real difference with our amazing students! Inspire our next generation of actors! Visit: https…
RT @OAALEARN: Congratulations to our teacher of the week Mr Broad #outstanding https://t.co/0ccayIeUUi
In Years 7 and 8 we aim to provide an overview of a number of key historical events, people and changes, each six week unit of work is based on a particular topic and is centred around a crucial historical skill.
If you would like further information about the topics and themes being taught please contact: Miss Dance or Mr Murray.
In the History department we follow the Edexcel History A GCSE: Modern World History (Year 11) and the Edexcel GCSE History (Year 9 and 10). Through our planning, teaching, assessment and marking, teachers of History aim to develop students' ability to recall, select and use historical knowledge, understand historical terms and concepts, communicate information in a clear and coherent manner; both verbally and in written form, interpret and evaluate a wide range of sources, respect individuals beliefs and different cultures, make reasoned and balanced judgements, reflect on their own learning and finally to understand their role as a global citizen.
If you would like further information about the topics and themes being taught please contact: Miss Dance or Mr Murray.
In the History department we follow the AQA GCE History 7041/2 course. This is a two year course in which students will study three modules of work. The work in Year 12 can lead to an independent AS qualification but we intend for all students to continue on into Year 13 to complete the full A level. Our A level course is designed to build upon the foundation of knowledge, skills and understanding that students developed at GCSE. During the two year course students will be encouraged to acquire, and effectively communicate, knowledge and understanding of two comparative periods of history; develop an understanding of historical terms and concepts; explore the significance of events, individuals, issues and societies in history; understand historical evidence and the methods used by Historians to analysis and evaluate this evidence; develop an understanding of how the past has been interpreted and represented; understand that history is concerned with judgements based on the evidence available and finally, to develop an interest and enthusiasm for history.
If you would like further information about the topics and themes being taught please contact: Miss Dance or Mr Murray.

Beyond the Boundary (Kyoukai no Kanata)
|Akihito Kanbara is a high school sophomore in the literature club who believes himself to be a "Meganest", and although he appears to be human, he is actually half Yōmu, which makes him invulnerable to wounds, due to the fact that he can heal so quickly, and also immortal. One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it appears as if she is about to attempt suicide by jumping off of the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is considered heresy even among other members of the underworld, so she is shunned. Soon after Akihito saves Mirai, disturbing events begin to arise.
Cardcaptor Sakura
|Sakura Kinomoto was an ordinary 4th grader until the day she opened a strange book and let dozens of powerful magic cards loose on the world. Keroberos, the Guardian of the Clow Cards, informs Sakura that it is now her responsibility to find and capture the freed cards.

Each card is a living, thinking, extremely powerful being. She'll have to learn to cope with her new responsibilities, as well as ordinary troubles involving love, school, family, and friends. With the support of her friend Tomoyo and a young boy with powers of his own, she must learn how to use her newly awakened magical abilities to collect each card and prevent the disaster that will befall the world if she doesn't.

Soon, he finds he can now understand what cats are saying, including his family's own ill-tempered cat, Nyamusasu. However, if he does not grant 100 wishes from cats, he will turn into a cat himself.
Ouran High School Host Club
|Haruhi is a poor tomboyish student at a school for the ultra-wealthy, able to attend because of a scholarship, and unable to even afford a uniform. One day, she stumbles across the decidedly peculiar but very popular Ouran Host Club. She tries to leave, but accidentally breaks a vase, and unable to pay for it, she's told that she'll have to stay and do odd jobs. That is, until they decide she would be more valuable as a club member. Not realizing she's female due to her appearance, they fix her up and give her a male uniform. She's an instant hit, so they decide to have her keep up the charade even after they find out the truth. Haruhi, being average almost to a fault, doesn't know what to make of the unconventional activities of the Host Club (or of the even more unconventional members), but having little choice, she plays along. Before long, real bonds are formed, friends made, and Haruhi finds herself accepted in a way she could never have been otherwise in this affluent school.
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! (Hataraku Maou-sama)
|In another dimension the Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo.

Executive Producers: Mark Burnett and Donald Trump

America's Next Top Model
Ken Mok and Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks
Regular airtime: Tuesdays, 9pm ET
The Apprentice and America's Next Top Model Season 2 mark the maturation of reality TV's subjects. The shows' celebrity masterminds, Tyra Banks and Donald Trump, have shifted the terms of a genre that for too long has encouraged gnawing at animal parts, mate-seeking, and endless displays of stupidity, selfishness, and dysfunction. Contestants are not just looking for prize money or fleeting fame: they're looking for work.
True, the participators on The Apprentice and America's Next Top Model are as desperate and ridiculous as any castaway, housemate, or bachelor/ette. The Apprentice's recently dismissed Sam was reviled as a pubescent-voiced schemer, an irritating Gollum in a three-piece suit; on Model, Shandi, the gawky Kansas City schoolmarm, apparently aches to doff her glasses and reveal the glam swan beneath. Yet, the rewards—a job with Trump, a modeling contract—give the competitions a refreshing pragmatism that befits the hostile job market of 2004.
This approach also serves the interests of Banks and Trump, re-actualizing their own celebrity in ways quite different from Jessica Simpson or Richard Hatch. Rather than exposing the icky details of their domestic lives or submitting to humiliating contests, these "hosts" get to strut within their professional milieus. Like Botticelli's Venus, Banks first appears out of nowhere on the windswept U.S.S. Intrepid; this supermodel-turned-mogul watches over her charges like a sassy sister-friend with words of encouragement ("Y'all fly!") and wisdom ("You have to live, breathe, and eat this.").
The Donald, by contrast, makes frequent check-in calls from his cross-town helicopter, calling himself "the world's worst boss," a somewhat lovable patriarch lurking in dark-mahogany boardrooms and his Babylonian penthouse. "You have to want the Trump lifestyle," wannabe apprentice Kristi remarks, eyeing the 24-karat toilet flushers in his Trump Tower palace. Unlike, say, Simon Cowell, Banks and Trump present themselves as sympathetic, inspiring mentors, having worked their way up sky-high ladders.
Both set in New York's mythologized urban jungle, the shows recycle clichés of competitive reality TV, requiring contestants to perform inane tasks that take on a feverish intensity (a citywide lemonade sale, an impromptu fashion show aboard an aircraft carrier); talk dirt in "confessionals"; be judged each week by a tribunal; and endure cruel exit processionals when they lose. On Apprentice, Trump barks, "You're fired," and the pink-slipped party must grab his or her wheelie-suitcase, take the down elevator, and catch a cab (no more limos). On Model, Banks hands out headshots to weekly survivors, while the empty-handed poser quietly slips away to pack up her knockoffs and go home. Both programs quickly exploit the gender stereotypes also synonymous with the genre: the men of Apprentice are inept, non-communicative frat brothers in need of discipline, while the women of both Apprentice and Model are catty, emotional, and sometimes strategically '"sexy."
Model begins with 12 would-be catwalkers who prove their mettle each week in simulated photo shoots, fashion shows, and other tests of talent, "potential," and "versatility." They live and spar together at a posh downtown loft, with designated "bling-bling," "punk-funk," and "mod" areas. Striking, uptight African American Camille chides her new roomies for stealing toilet paper during a Tyra-sponsored dinner at Tavern on the Green, surmising, "Maybe I'm just more educated." When Jenascia sleeps late the morning of their first photo shoot, April half-heartedly entreats the others to wait for her. They don't, so Jenascia arrives hours late and narrowly avoids elimination. Lucky for her, plus-size Anna won't go along with the Adam and Eve-themed shoot, which involves body jewelry and paint, a nude male model, and little else. "I'm just trying to be Christ-like," she says, by way of explanation. The four judges, including gleefully tactless '70s supermodel Janice Dickinson, have choice words for tardy, too-short Jenascia, but Anna's pious refusal to sex it up means she's the one sent home.
Sex and ambition also make bedfellows on The Apprentice, where eight-member teams are assembled along gender lines (this like the most recent Survivor, also produced by Mark Burnett). Challenges pit the female Protégé Corporation against the male Versacorp. Their varied pedigrees imbue this Machievellian struggle with a layer of class tensions: David holds both an MD and an MBA, while Jessie is a home-schooled orphan; projects-born Omarosa is a former Clinton White House staffer finishing her Ph.D., while cowboy Troy is a self-made businessman with only a high school diploma. Each week, the losing team elects three members for possible banishment, complete with scathing commentary. After the elected parties beg for clemency POW-style, Trump, flanked by a white-haired henchman and blonde henchwoman, renders the final verdict.
Despite skirmishes caused by control-freak Omarosa, who battles with hot-tempered Ereka and idealist Katrina, the women trounce the men in three consecutive rounds, employing their "feminine wiles" and not a little strategic thinking. In the first, they quadruple their profits by giving out kisses and phone numbers to the midtown men who buy their $5 lemonade. In the second, they construct a brilliantly unsubtle ad campaign for a private jet company, stressing the similarities between male genitalia and airplane parts, and wearing fetching stewardess' outfits at the presentation. Lesson learned: it takes balls to win the rat race.
The uninspired men, meanwhile, suffered near-comic meltdown. When they couldn't find any customers at the deserted South Street Seaport, Sam attempted to sell one cup of lemonade for $1000. In the second challenge, as the men's team scrambled to throw together a shoddy ad campaign, Sam napped on the office floor, his manic bursts of energy apparently catching up with him.
After he failed the "put up or shut up" test as Project Manager in Round Three, Sam finally went home. In his post-Apprentice life, however, this pitiable villain has worked some surprising savvy, redeeming his dignity by proposing, successfully, to his girlfriend of five years in front of Katie Couric on the Today Show. His 15 minutes may be quickly expiring, but Sam is going out with a happily-ever-after bang, perhaps the best success test of any reality star.
As cringe-worthy as Sam remains, it might behoove the remaining junior tycoons and mini-models to consider his example. For all their calculated cunning and preening, all but one Apprentice and Model contestant will eventually have to formulate the most humbling strategy of all: a Plan B, one that will work in the real world.

Winter Olympics in the Classroom - A Brief History January 28 2010
This year marks the 21st Winter Olympic Games. They will be held February 12th through the 28th in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Athletes from all over the world have been training tirelessly for a chance to compete, and excitement builds as the Olympic torch makes its way closer to the finish line at the Opening Ceremonies!

This particular lesson plan focuses on the history of the ancient and modern Olympic Games, giving students a chance to compare and contrast what they learn.

I always like to find out what my kids know and have questions about a given subject, and one of the best ways is the K-W-L chart. In the K column, make a list of what kids "Know" about the Olympic games. In the second column, list questions from kids regarding what they "Want to Know" about the Olympics. When the lessons about the Olympics are finished, go back to this chart and have kids fill in the L column with what they learned - some of these hopefully answer the questions brought up in the "W" column.
No matter what age you teach, it's a good idea to go over Olympic vocabulary. Some of these words could include ancient, modern, centuries, stadium, athletes, medals, prize, discus, shotput, javelin, relay, estimate and measure. To help kids process this vocabulary, consider using this Predict, Define, and Sketch chart to first guess what each term means, then look the words up in a dictionary for their "official" definitions.
Read All About It
Included in this reading lesson is the Ancient and Modern Olympic History page. It's fairly simple and straightforward, giving students several facts about the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games. I like to have kids read something like this two or three times. The first time is usually a quick run-through, and we read it as a whole group or in partners, coming together to talk about important key words or facts.
The second read-through is specifically to process information more carefully, and again as a whole group or in partners. After this second reading, I like to introduce something like this Ancient and Modern Olympics Comprehension Questions sheet for comprehension practice.
Write All About It
Over the years, I've found that Venn Diagrams certainly have their advantages, especially when dealing with nonfiction reading material. This Olympics Venn Diagram gives students the opportunity to compare and contrast the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games.
With the information organized in the Venn Diagram, there's a variety of writing activities to extend this reading lesson plan into a writing lesson plan. Take the similarities or the differences only and teach them how to write a paragraph with an opening and closing sentence. Ask for volunteers to write a fact each on a sentence strip, then put together a paragraph using a pocket chart, review sequencing and then have your kids write an opening and closing sentence to fit with the facts.
If you have older kids, this is an excellent time to talk about how to write a good compare/contrast essay - an opening paragraph, a paragraph about similarities, a paragraph about differences, and a closing. These expository pieces are difficult for kids to write well, and the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games would be a great essay to model. After writing the paragraphs with your students' help, have them compare and contrast something of their choice to practice.
The winter Olympic Games offer a wonderful opportunity to bring timely subject matter into the classroom. Take advantage of the excitement of the Winter Olympics, and use these reading and writing activities as the first step to hosting your own Classroom Olympic Games.
