The trends, approaches and methodology used to teach languages
Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching
An Introduction
History of Language Teaching
The evolution of language teaching reflects the kind of proficiency learners need
Oral proficiency vs. reading proficiency
The Grammar-Translation Method
Early 19th Century
Detailed analysis of
sentences and texts into and out of target language
Reading & writing major focus
Grammar taught
Child Language Learning
Introduction of demand for
Using way children learn native language as a model for how students can learn second language
Importance of meaning,
, situational cues
The Reform Movement
Discipline of linguistics
Establishment of phonetics (IPA)
Advocated: study of spoken language, good pronunciation, use of
approach to grammar
Hear language first, words presented in sentences with meaningful contexts, translation avoided
The Direct Method
Without translation or use of learner's native language
Use language actively in the class
Encourage direct use of language
of grammar rules
Attention to
Everyday vocabulary
New teaching points introduced orally
Direct Method Approaches
• Never translate: demonstrate
• Never explain: act
• Never make a speech: ask questions
• Never imitate mistakes: correct
• Never speak with single words: use sentences
• Never speak too much: make students speak much
• Never use the book: use your lesson plan
• Never jump around: use your lesson plan
• Never go too fast: keep the pace of the student
• Never speak too slowly: speak normally
• Never speak too quickly: speak naturally
• Never speak too loudly: speak naturally
• Never be impatient: take it easy
What are goals of language teaching?
Should language teach conversational proficiency, reading, translation or other skills?
What is the role of the native language?
What teaching techniques work best?
What activities work best?
Under what circumstances?
Influences on Language Teaching Innovations
Theory of Language
Structural view
Language is a system of structurally related elements for the coding of meaning
Functional view
Language is the vehicle for the expression of functional meaning
Interactional view
Language is the vehicle for the realization of interpersonal relations and for the performance of social transactions between individuals
~ 60% of the world is multilingual
The Oral Approach
Main Characteristics
Language teaching begins with
Target language
is the language of the classroom.
New language points are introduced & practiced
Simple forms of grammar taught before complex ones.
Reading & writing introduced after sufficient lexical and grammatical basis established.
Three Processes of Learning Language
Receiving the knowledge or materials
Using it an actual practice until it becomes a personal skill
Fixing knowledge or materials in the memory by repetition
Situational Language Teaching
The use of concrete objects, pictures, "realia"
Together, with actions and gestures, can be used to demonstrate the meanings of new language items
Teachers Role
The Model
Set up the "situation" in which the target structure is created and model the new situation to students
Conductor of the orchestra
-> Draw the music out to the performers
The Skillful Manipulator
Use questions, commands and other cues to elicit correct use of language
Activities in the Classroom
Choral Imitation:
students repeat after teacher
Individual Imitation:
individually repeat
Isolate sounds, words, groups
teacher uses mime, prompt words, gestures, etc.
Substitution drilling:
using cue words
Question-answer drilling:
one student asks a question and another answers
Teacher indicates by shaking head
by repeating the error
tries not to simply correct error for student
invites student to correct it
encourages students to listen to each other carefully
Total Physical Response
Built around the coordination of speech and action
Teaching language through
physical activity
The verb in the
Absence of stress
Performing physical actions in the target language makes input comprehensible
Needs to be used in
with other techniques
Children develop listening competence before they develop the ability to speak
Listening before speaking
Comprehension via physical responses
Children's ability in listening comprehension is acquired because children are required to respond physically to parent's spoken commands
Listening comprehension leads to speech
After a foundation in listening comprehension is established, speech evolves naturally and effortlessly.
Three Central Processes
Lesson Plan
1) Review
Individual students move with commands
Pablo, drive the car around Miako and honk the horn
Jeff, throw the red flower to Maria
Maria, scream
Rita, pick up the spoon and put it in the cup
Eduardo, take a drink of water and give the cup to Elaine
Lesson plan should be detailed
Exact utterances should be wrote out
Action is fast-moving
2) Introduce new commands
New verbs introduced with context, using motion
Wash hands/face/laundry
Look for a towel/the book
Hold the cup/the door
Cooperative Language Learning
Three-step Interview
(1) Students in pairs; one is interviewer, other interviewee
(2) Students reverse roles
(3) Each shares with team members what was learned
One piece of paper and one pen per team
(1) Student 1 makes contribution
(2) passes paper & pen to student to left
(3) Each student makes contribution in turn
(1) Teacher poses question
(2) Students think of response
(3) Students discuss their responses with a partner
(4) Students share their partner's response with the class
(1)Teacher poses problem
(2) Students work out solution individually
(3) Student explains how to solve the problem
Maximum use
of information between learners in groups
Learner held accountable for his/her own learning and is motivated to increase learning of others
relationships among students
Replace competitive structure with team-based structure
Promotes communicative interaction
of all students
Three Types Learning Groups
Formal Groups
Established for specific tasks
Informal Groups
Ad-hoc groups; short term
Heterogeneous groups; long term
Cooperative Base Groups
Teacher's Role
What are the three best qualities of a language teacher?
Write down your answers
Share with person next to you
Decide on two best qualities (one from each partner's list) and share with class
Lexical Approach
Lexical Units
regular occurrence of words together
e.g. make my bed, do my hair, etc.
'clean and tidy'
'cool, calm, collected'
'dead drunk'
'as old as the hills'
Conversational gambit:
'guess what!'
[1] Teaching individual collocations
[2] Making students aware of collocation
[3] Extending what students know
[4] Storing collocations
Lexis as the building blocks of language learning
Language production: piecing together of already-made units
Study ways lexis can be pieced together, the ways they vary, the situations in which they occur
Learner as a
Words or combinations of words
Task-Based Language Teaching
Use of
as the core unit of instruction
Focus on
rather than product
Real world tasks:
those that learners may need to achieve in real life
Pedagogical tasks:
those that have pedagogical purpose
[1] Jigsaw
[2] Information-gap
[3] Problem-solving
[4] Decision-making
[5] Opinion-exchange
learners combine different pieces of information to form a whole
learners share & collaborate information
learners arrive at solution together for a problem with a set of information
must choose outcome to a problem through negotiation and discussion
exchange ideas via discussion
Pretask activities
Posttask activities
Task activity
Looking Forward
Whole language approach
Incorporation of student needs, interests, media
Expect some of the methods discussed here to continue
Refining or reshaping of existing approaches and methods
Richards, J.C. and Rodgers, T.S. (2003) Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching, Second Edition. Cambridge University Press
Write the following verbs in the past tense
go, is, do, have, work, study, buy, make, pick
Think of four things you did yesterday & write in sentences.
First, I got up and ____________________________
Then, _____________________________________
Next, ______________________________________
Finally, _____________________________________
Write three hobbies/activities you like to do
Ask the people around you what their hobbies are
Decide on a suitable gift for each person

I'm a huge fan. I think Sproul has a TON of potential. He took massive steps forward this year, but it wasn't really noticed because of the Soo's disappointing season as a team.
Offensively, he got better in every area. He's obviously got a booming shot, but he was smarter in using it this year. Last year he became a bit predictable and team's started taking that shot away from him. But he made adjustments this year and really worked on getting his wrister through just as effectively. He also didn't force shots and got himself in better position for one timers. He also became more aggressive in skating the puck out of the zone, and had no issue with going deep and creating chances. But best of all, he did this while limiting some of the turnovers in his own end that plagued him in his draft season.
Defensively, lots of progress was made and this is marked by the fact that he finished +16 on the season...on a team that missed the playoffs. He used his size more and become more physical (although don't confuse him for a guy like Jarred Tinordi or anything). He chased the puck less and became a little more reserved, letting the play come to him.
If this guy were playing for a higher profile OHL team, I think we'd be hearing more about him. Definitely looking forward to seeing how he takes his development even farther next season.

Description: Legendary New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard returns with three of his favorite characters: Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from LaBrava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap. Jack Foley, the charming bank robber from Out of Sight, is serving a thirty-year sentence in a Miami penitentiary, but he's made an unlikely friend on the inside who just might be able to do something about that. Fellow inmate Cundo Rey, an extremely wealthy Cuban criminal, arranges for Foley's sentence to be reduced from thirty years to three months, and when Jack is released just two weeks ahead of Cundo, he agrees to wait for him in Venice Beach, California. Also waiting for Cundo is his common-law wife, Dawn Navarro, a professional psychic with a slightly ulterior motive for staying with Cundo: namely, she wants his money. And with the arrival of Jack, she sees the perfect partner in a plan to relieve Cundo of his fortune. Cundo may be Jack's friend, but does that mean he can trust him? And can either of them trust Dawn? Road Dogs is Elmore Leonard at his best-with his trademark tight plotting and pitch-perfect dialogue-and readers will love seeing Cundo, Jack, and Dawn back in action and working together . . . or are they?

Heaslip - Belief is everything
Ahead of Ireland's Six Nations match against Scotland, Jamie Heaslip has warned team-mates who lack self-belief "to get off the pitch".
Last Updated: 25/02/11 6:00pm
Ahead of Ireland's RBS Six Nations meeting with Scotland this weekend, Jamie Heaslip has warned team-mates who lack self-belief "to get off the pitch".
Declan Kidney's side have had a flat season to date, winning only three out of six games with the victories against Samoa and Italy hardly resounding.
The same was arguably even the case in their record triumph against Argentina, with mixed messages coming from the Ireland camp as to why they should be experiencing such a malaise.
Defeat at Murrayfield on Sunday would therefore continue a worrying trend for a side that is clearly struggling in World Cup year.
Backs coach Alan Gaffney reckons the high error count is down to anxiety but Heaslip insists that anyone lacking confidence should not be playing for Ireland in the first place.
"I don't feel any anxiousness, you'd have to ask each player individually about how they feel," he said.
"I'm pretty relaxed but at the same time a confident person. I back myself and my ability. I back any of the guys out on the pitch as well.
"I don't think there's a lack of confidence or belief. If there is, and if I know there is, I'd tell them to get off the pitch.
"You don't pull on a green jersey unless you're 100% confident that you're ready to go."
Ireland's attempts to produce a more expansive style have produced some sublime moments of play but as things stand, the high error count is getting in the way of a positive result.
A series of try-scoring chances went begging in Rome and despite out-scoring France three tries to one, Ireland still lost 25-22.
Heaslip thinks that, while teething problems do exist, Ireland are on the right track.
"We've evolved into playing this new type of game," said the Lions number eight.
"It was an exciting game when stuff clicked, we were on fire and created a lot of quick ball. We split a lot of teams wide open and caused them problems.
"But our own mistakes punished us, stuff like turn overs and easy penalties.
"That has happened less frequently in the Six Nations but it has still happened one or twice. The standard of sides we're playing punish your mistakes.
"You might get away with it once or twice in club rugby, but international rugby is pretty ruthless.
"We are on the brink of doing something really, really good.
"We're showing that we can score tries against very good teams. We just need to cut out the mistakes we can control."
An ankle injury sustained in December has limited Heaslip's own involvement in the Six Nations to just the France game.
It was the 27-year-old's first injury in 10 years and while he felt uneasy on the sidelines, he admits the break came at a good time.
"I just wasn't used to it because it had been 10 years since I last got injured," he said.
"I didn't know what to do with myself - I felt guilty for having weekends off.
"It was good in a way because contract negotiations with the Irish Rugby Football Union were going on at the time and it gave me time to think about my options.
"Normally I take a stand-off approach, but I had the time to get properly involved.
"I always said injuries are only for the weak. Everyone said don't say that.
"If it happens, it happens, you just get over it. It's a contact sport and it's going to happen.
"Sometimes you see football players jump in the air and start rolling around.
"You think 'jeez lads, get up will you!' In rugby we run into each other!"

VANCOUVER, Wash. — A warrant suspect shot and killed in a confrontation with local and federal authorities in Vancouver on Friday has been identified.
Authorities identified the man as 28-year-old Jessee J. France on Saturday.
According to information from the Vancouver Police Department, France rammed an undercover police vehicle before the shooting. Officers got out and approached the driver. The driver, then, "escalated the situation" leading several officers to fire.
The suspect died at the scene near the Addison Apartments. A veteran Vancouver Police detective has been put on paid administrative leave pending completion of the investigation.
France was a suspect in several felony cases and had an outstanding warrant.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is made up officers from the U.S. Marshals Service, the state Department of Corrections and Vancouver police.

Whether your first sign of
impending parenthood was nausea, headaches or just a positive
pregnancy test, they're only the start of a long list of things to
come. The question is, what's normal? Many pregnancy symptoms can
be both signs of a totally normal pregnancy and a signal to call
your doctor. Broken down by trimester, here's what to expect when
you're expecting and what should put your mommy sense on
Odds are you're not going to be feeling great-fatigue, nausea,
vomiting and mild pelvic cramps are all normal symptoms during this
time. The severity of these symptoms is what you should keep track
of, however, when deciding when to call your doctor.
"You should not be so tired that you can't get through normal
activities without some extra rest," says Dr. Mark Gapinski, an
obstetrician and gynecologist at Central DuPage Hospital. "If it's
'I can't get through my day and have to go home from work,' it
could be something else wrong, such as a thyroid disorder that
needs to be evaluated or anemia."
Although many women have spotting at various times in their
pregnancy with no ill effects, Gapinski says spotting is never
normal and you should always contact your doctor when it happens,
especially if it is accompanied by significant pain.
Often known as the "honeymoon period," many of the difficult
symptoms of the first trimester go away in the second trimester.
It's not necessarily smooth sailing for all expectant moms,
"It's a very individual thing and the key for the patient to
know if it is a problem or not is if there is a dramatic change,"
says Dr. Alex Lin, attending obstetrician at Northwestern Memorial
Hospital and a professor in clinical obstetrics and gynecology at
Northwestern University. "If they feel crummy in the first and
second trimesters but nothing has really changed, it's probably
just going to be a difficult pregnancy for the patient."
Common symptoms include random, sharp pains in the groin area
(called round ligament pain) and some swelling in the legs and
fingers. You should call your doctor if the pains take on any
organized pattern or are accompanied by bleeding or increased
discharge (or if you just have a huge increase in discharge without
pain) since these can be symptoms of early labor. Swelling in just
one leg and not the other can be a sign of a blood clot and a
dramatic increase in swelling along with headaches and/or blurry
vision can be an early sign of preeclampsia and should be addressed
with your doctor immediately.
Aches and pains typically increase during this time, along with
swelling and fatigue. Your baby's movement will also usually slow
down, but Lin says there should still be three episodes of movement
per day. Increased (or returned) nausea is also a possibility
during the third trimester. Some contractions are normal at 35 and
36 weeks of pregnancy, but call your doctor if they are strong or
follow a timed pattern. Some mucus discharge is also normal, but
you should notify your doctor of any dramatic increase in discharge
or any watery or bloody discharge.
All nine months
Although you don't need to call your doctor every time you get a
cough or runny nose, you should contact him if your symptoms don't
go away within a week or are accompanied by a fever. You should
also make a call if you've never had chicken pox and are exposed to
it at any point during your pregnancy. Any exposure to Fifth's
Disease (symptoms include fever and red cheeks) should be noted. No
matter what the situation, though, you should feel comfortable
contacting your doctor.
"You should have good communication with your physician," says
Gapinski. "If not, it could be a sign that you could have a
difficult time when you need to get a hold of them."

The disclosures herein relate generally to content management systems and more particularly to addressing problems associated with the lack of handling of structured data by stored procedures.
Modem computer database environments such as shown in
Stored procedures in a content management system typically only handle primitive data types such as integer, long, binary large object (BLOB) and character large object (CLOB) in the parameter passing carried out by the procedure's interface (API). The interface of the conventional stored procedure does not provide parameter passing of structured data with variable length data such as 1) an array of integers; 2) an array of character strings, or 3) an array of mixed data types.
Some content management software is based on a set of stored procedures that interact with database servers, such as DB2 servers, for example. These stored procedures do not pass structured data and this can present a problem in many applications.
What is needed is a mechanism and methodology for handling parameter passing of structured data for stored procedures in a client-server content management system.
Accordingly, a method of communicating data between a stored procedure in a server and a client is disclosed which includes calling, by the stored procedure, a utility interface program in the server. The utility interface program encodes the data in a structured data format including a plurality of elements. The encoded data is transmitted by the server in the structured data format to the client. The client receives the encoded data and calls the utility interface program in the server to decode the encoded data. In one embodiment of the disclosed methodology, the structured data format includes a binary large object (BLOB) and a character large object (CLOB) to enable handling of both binary data and variable length character strings.
A principal advantage of the embodiment disclosed herein is the ability to handle parameter passing of structured data between a stored procedure and a client system.
The disclosed methodology for handling parameter passing of structured data for store procedures in a content management system is now discussed. Content management system 100 includes at least one stored procedure 110 which is connected via its interface 115 to a client computer 120. The disclosed method involves communication of data between stored procedure 110 and client 120. An orthogonal data format provides a foundation for handling structured data communication including binary data, character data and mixed (binary and character) data.
The method includes an encoding process and a decoding process. The encoding process builds a data format for input parameters with structured data of stored procedure 110. In other words, a data format for parameter passing is constructed. The decoding process parses the data format for output parameters with structured data of stored procedure 110.
Stored procedures are often used to provide queries to a database repository. However, in the disclosed methodology, stored procedures can perform different functions. More particularly, when server 100 desires to transmit data to client 120, an encode/decode utility located in stored procedure 110 or its interface 115 is called. The utility acts as an encoder to encode the data in a BLOB/CLOB pair (binary large object/character large object pair) which is transmitted via interface 115 to client 120. In actual practice, the utility interface program may be located in interface 115 where it can be called by either stored procedure 110 or client 120. When client 120 receives the BLOB/CLOB pair, client 120 calls the utility interface program associated with the stored procedure, and the utility decodes the BLOB/CLOB pair to restore the original data for use by client 120.
Conversely, when client 120 desires to transmit data to stored procedure 110 of server 100, client 120 calls the utility interface program which encodes the data into the BLOB/CLOB pair which is then sent along to the stored procedure. The stored procedure can then decode the data as before. From the above, it will be appreciated that the utility can perform a bidirectional encode/decode operation depending on the circumstances. Either the stored procedure or the client can call the utility for encoding and decoding operations. Advantageously, the BLOB/CLOB pair data format employed by the utility enables communication of many kinds of data including structured data with variable length data such as integer arrays, character string arrays, binary data, character data and arrays of mixed data types (binary and character data).
Each piece of data which is to be built (encoded) or parsed (decoded) is placed in a BLOB/CLOB as an element. An element is composed of an element ID, a data type, a length and a value. The element ID identifies the element. For example, the element ID may be a component ID, a customer number or an account number. The data type describes the particular type of data, for example, binary, character or mixed. The length denotes the length of the data value to be passed between the stored procedure and client or vice versa. For integer types of data the length is fixed; however, for character data the length depends on the length of the particular string to be passed. The value represents the actual value to be passed.
Each part of the element is stored in the BLOB or CLOB. Element ID, the data type and the length are stored as a header in the BLOB. It is acceptable to store the value in either the BLOB or CLOB depending on the data type. In other words, the BLOB is used to store header data and binary data, whereas the CLOB is used to store character data. In the particular embodiment shown in the drawings subsequently discussed, a header contains an element ID (a 2 byte integer), a data type (a 2 byte integer) and a length (a 4 byte integer).
Three operational scenarios are now discussed with reference to
Returning to the binary data scenario data structure of
The other type of mixed data for which the data structure of
Returning now to
In one embodiment, interface 115 supports the following data types: sqlint16, sqlint32, sqlint64, double, character and binary data types. These data types are supported as either NULLable or nonNULLable. When the utility program encodes or builds the BLOB and CLOB, the data type is specified. When parsing or decoding, the data type is also specified to the utility program. If the date type upon encode does not equal the data type upon decode, the utility program returns an error. An exception to this error rule is that a nonNULLable data type can be built into the BLOB and CLOB and can be parsed as a NULLable data type. This is valid because nonNULLable is a subset of NULLable.
One example of the above mentioned utility interface program 115 that can be used for the encoding and decoding functions is now described with reference to a C language implementation. The utility uses a structure to hold all of the information with respect to the BLOB and CLOB. The structure is declared and initialized using one of the initialization routines discussed below. In actual practice, there are two different types of initialization, namely one for encoding and one for decoding. The structure is passed to other routines in the utility and is used for manipulating the data in the BLOB and CLOB. One structure which is acceptable is:
typedefstruct _ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT { sqluint16 sByteOrder; sqluint32 lClobLength; sqluint32 lClobOffset; char * pClob; sqluint32 lBlobLength; sqluint32 lBlobOffset; char * pBlob; } ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT;
The utility program includes a number of routines to initialize the structure. These routines are given below along with comments which describe the specific purpose of each routine: The acronym "SP" refers to stored procedure 110 and "API" refers to application program interface.
// . . . This routine is called by API or SP to create a CLOB/BLOB structure in which to store data sqlint32 ICMParmInitForBuild(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms); // . . . This routine is used by APIs which call SPs that return the CLOB and BLOB to // make sure the output buffer is large enough to handle the data returned. sqlint32 ICMParmInitForBuildWithSize(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms, sqluint32 size); // . . . This routine is used by APIs which call SPs that return the CLOB and BLOB to // make sure the output buffer is large enough to handle the data returned. // This function is used when nothing is put into the BLOB/CLOB when it is // sent to the SP, but results are returned from the SP. sqlint32 ICMParmInitForOutput(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms, sqluint32 size); // . . . Initialize CLOB/BLOB to pass a NULL CLOB/BLOB sqlint32 ICMParmInitNULL(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms); // . . . Called from SP to initialize CLOB/BLOB structure sqlint32 ICMParmInitForParse(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms, char * pClob, char * pBlob); // Called from API to initialize CLOB/BLOB structure returned from SP sqlint32 ICMParmInitForParseAPI(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms, char * pClob, char * pBlob);
The utility program includes additional functions which are used to handle freeing of memory and to prepare the BLOB and CLOB to be sent between stored procedure 110 and client 120. In actual practice, a memory freeing routine is only needed after the build or encoding because in the decoding or parsing, BLOB and CLOB data is used directly from a host variable used to pass the data. A "prepare to send" routine is called to set the data length properly in the BLOB before it is sent between client 120 and stored procedure 110. These routines are now presented below:
typedef enum { PARM_TYPE_CHAR = 1, PARM_TYPE_SHORT, PARM_TYPE_LONG, PARM_TYPE_BINARY, PARM_TYPE_DOUBLE, PARM_TYPE_BIGINT, PARM_TYPE_MAX } PARM_TYPE; typedef enum { PARM_TYPE_CHAR_NULLABLE = 501, PARM_TYPE_SHORT_NULLABLE, PARM_TYPE_LONG_NULLABLE, PARM_TYPE_BINARY_NULLABLE, PARM_TYPE_DOUBLE_NULLABLE, PARM_TYPE_BIGINT_NULLABLE, PARM_TYPE_MAX_NULLABLE } PARM_TYPE_NULLABLE;
The utility program (here a C interface) provides one routine to build or encode the BLOB CLOB and two routines to parse or decode the BLOB CLOB. These routines take in variable parameter lists to advantageously allow many values to be handled in a single call. In one embodiment, each routine takes in the BLOB/CLOB structure, a structure containing log information and a repeating list of elements. As discussed earlier, each element includes an element ID, a data type, a length, and the actual data value which may be either binary or character data. More specifically, element ID's are declared in lspdef.h. The data type is one of the constants referenced above. The value can be a pointer to the actual data value. The data type varies according to whether binary, character or mixed data is being manipulated. In more detail:

The utility program or C interface includes a parse routine which handles NULL values. This functionality is needed to process NULLable data types. The parse routine returns an indicator for each element that indicates whether the particular value is NULL. More specifically, the indicator is set to −1 if the value is NULL. In the build routine, the length is set to −1 to indicate a NULL value.
A representative parse routine for handling NULL values is given below:
sqlint32 ICMParmParseNullable(ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT * pParms,
* sIndicator,
* pValue,
. . . );
A representative build (encoding) code is given below:
ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT parms;
// declare a ICMPARAMLOB_STRUCT structure
ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT *pParms = &parms;
// declare a pointer to the structure
long rc= 0 ;
// declare the return code variable
char DataValue[17];
// declare a character array
char * pDataValue = &DataValue;
// declare a pointer to the array
// Parse the structure and get the data value
rc = ICMParmParse(pParms,
// pointer to ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT structure
// Element ID
// character type 17,
// data value
// marker to indicate the end of parameter
A representative parsing (decoding) code is given below:
ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT parms;
// declare a ICMPARAMLOB_STRUCT structure
ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT *pParms = &parms;
// declare a pointer to the structure
long rc= 0 ;
// declare the return code variable
char DataValue[17];
// declare a character array
char * pDataValue = &DataValue;
// declare a pointer to the array
strcpy(pDataValue, "DATASTRING100000");
// pass in the data
// Build the structure with the given data value
rc = ICMParmBuild (pParms,
// pointer to ICMPARMLOB_STRUCT structure
// Element ID

The content management system can be stored on virtually any computer-readable storage media, such as CD, DVD and other magnetic and optical media in either compressed or non-compressed form. Of course, it can also be stored on a server computer system or other information handling system.
As can be seen, a principal advantage of the disclosed methodology and apparatus is to provide for parameter passing of structured data for stored procedures in a content management system. Desirably, structured data with variable length such as an array of integers, an array of character strings, or an array of mixed data types are all accommodated in the disclosed interface between a stored procedure in a server and a client system. Without the disclosed methodology, each stored procedure in the content management system server would generally require interface customization to meet its special needs in parameter passing. The disclosed technology advantageously obviates this problem. It should be understood that while one representative stored procedure has been discussed with reference to the disclosed content management system, in actual practice the server of the system can contain multiple stored procedures and multiple clients employing the disclosed methodology can be coupled to the server.
Although illustrative embodiments have been shown and described, a wide range of modification, change and substitution is contemplated in the foregoing disclosure and in some instances, some features of an embodiment may be employed without a corresponding use of other features. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the scope of the embodiments disclosed herein.

Skype SMS' Teething Problems
You've probably all heard of Skype's new SMS service, which is very cool. If you have a Skype-Out account, you can send SMS messages to cellphones and, if you register you cellphone number with Skype, the recipients can reply to you on your mobile phone. Great idea. Only problem: It doesn't work.
Well, it does work, but not always. At least one cellular operator doesn't seem to pass the messages on. That wouldn't be a problem, except that Skype says that the message has been delivered, and charges you for it. Teething troubles, I guess, but still a nuisance, if you're counting your Skype pennies. (This experiment has so far set me back €0,44. Money that has gone forever. Forever.) Other folk are reporting similar problems, although it doesn't sound widespread.
Skype's technical people say you should raise a help ticket if this happens to you. The only problem is: How do you know that it doesn't get through? An interesting conundrum as Skype ventures into new waters. Consider: Cellular SMS supports a service which allows you to receive notification of the arrival of your message; Skype users can tell whether other Skype members are online and available. But now you can send an SMS to someone, unless the pending/delivered/failed notification feature works properly, all those presence/delivery indicators are out the window.
A weird disjuncture, given that Skype is best used for non-local calls. Skype is all about reaching beyond the tyranny of long distance communication costs. And the same is true of Skype SMS, I suspect, especially in those places where SMS is very cheap. Here in Indonesia, for example, cellular SMS to an Indonesian phone costs 250 rupiah, or 3 US cents. A Skype SMS costs 14 US cents. No one is going to send a Skype SMS to someone locally if that kind of price difference exists. So Skype SMS might best work if you want to communicate with someone who is not at their computer, or doesn't have Skype (or doesn't have a computer) but doesn't live in your zone. Not a bad niche. But the problem still remains: If SMS via Skype is really going to kick in, reliability is going to be an issue. Who is going to use the service if they have no way of knowing whether their messages landed?
Something that Skype needs to fix.
Comments (5)
3 US cents in Indonesia? Seriously? In NZ, SMS costs 20 NZ cents or just under 13 US cents.
The irony in NZ is that most people use SMS instead of calling, which is even more expensive – US$0.32 to US$0.90 per minute.
Fired up Skype 2.5 beta here, and found two SMS failure messages – except I know for a fact that those two messages went through.
Oh, better yet, I didn't get charged for the "failed" SMS. Maybe Skype shouldn't hurry up and fix the problem. 🙂
I signed up for skypeOut today. The call prices are a bit lower than my ISP charges me. But the sms cost is really expensive. It's 0.079 euro, 0.09 including VAT. The cost to send an sms is 0.01 euro! it's 9 times as expensive! Even skype calls cost less.
here is is 5 years since you wrote the first blog about sms not being delivered and still charged for by Skype… and nothing has changed, at least not using Skype sms to Tele2 in Europe!!

Anyone who owns a Saab knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do. When your Saab 9-3 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes Swedish engineering in their automobile. Your Saab dealership isn't the only place to find genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your 9-3. Obviously, you didn't buy your 9-3 unless you knew that you wanted best-in-class service and a trusted brand both impeccably combined into one automobile.
Emissions reduction technology has improved drastically over the last 50 years, and it has also been responsible for advancements in fuel efficiency. Both jobs are done by the vapor canister purge solenoid on your Saab 9-3. This part is located on or near your gas tank, and the Saab 9-3 vapor canister purge solenoid redirects excess fuel vapors from the tank to your intake so it can be burnt when you start the engine. If a burst of pressure or fuel vapor gets released when you open your gas cap, then the vapor canister purge valve may have failed.
Ordering new Saab parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement 9-3 parts on the internet. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When it comes to Saab 9-3 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve parts, you can find them for 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Android phones, despite being children of separated parents- namely Google and respective manufacturers, have their own advantages in terms of features, several interfaces, variety in design and performance as well as pricing.
However, one area where they are vulnerable is that of security breaches and possible hacks. Once your phone is hit, how soon you can get it corrected depends on when your phone's manufacturer releases a patch or which version of Android is installed on your phone.
Apart from being risky, the process really tiresome.
And now hackers and stalkers have come across yet another vulnerability and they're exploiting it to the fullest.
Phone manufacturers usually install a remote support app in Android phones through which they can help users. However, they also keep special access to the phones which can now be hacked into.
So be it reading your texts, tracking where you go or even turning on your phone's microphone to listen to what you talk about, you stalkers are going to have a field day. More so, if you are using a Samsung, HTC, LG or ZTE phone.
Even though manufacturers have started releasing new security fixes, how soon your phone will be fixed can be anybody's guess. Since hackers continue to find new loopholes in modern smartphones' hardware and software, the manufacturer's actions are most often reactive than proactive, a terrible thing to imagine given how much is at stake.
Ask Ashley Madison users. They'll know the feeling very well!

+1 cheeseburgers.
I know what I'm having for lunch now. :-)
Nov 23, 2010 at 9:11 UTC
Ditto the cheeseburgers. Now I just gotta figure out which place to get a cheeseburger from.
Nov 23, 2010 at 9:19 UTC
No fast food burgers, got to go to a good place. Ponderosa has a good burger for a good price. Their are also a couple good local joins that have good burgers.
Nov 23, 2010 at 10:45 UTC
Me hungry now
Nov 23, 2010 at 10:50 UTC
Agree with that. No Ponderosa close to here, though. I may go to Bub's, a popular local burger joint, or maybe Five Guys.
Nov 23, 2010 at 11:19 UTC
Ponderosa... I use to love that place when i was a kid, they closed down here back in the late '70's.
Nov 23, 2010 at 11:30 UTC
all this talk of burgers is making me hungry!!
Nov 23, 2010 at 3:28 UTC
And no one made the Royal with cheese reference? *shocked*
Nov 23, 2010 at 4:23 UTC
Ha, I just picked up that dvd last weekend.
Nov 24, 2010 at 11:37 UTC
Is that MacD, BK or some other chain cheeseburgers?
Nov 24, 2010 at 12:24 UTC
Rich Uncles is an IT service provider.
Love it!, printing and posting this for the break room
Nov 24, 2010 at 2:56 UTC
So are those burgers from the King or Ronald - sure it makes a difference!
Nov 24, 2010 at 3:06 UTC
I know it isn't these burgers, that's for sure.
From L-R:
Achilles, 1lb
Hercules, 2lb
Atlas, 3lb
Zeus, 7lb
Mt. Olympus, 50lb
EDIT: bit of background found here
Nov 24, 2010 at 3:09 UTC
wth Limey
Have a look at this:
Nov 24, 2010 at 3:23 UTC
Ha, just edited my previous post when I got finished reading that page, 'Badlands' trying to eat the "Olde 96er", 6 lb burger at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub. He made it in 7 hours, eat it in 3 and it's free!
I think the Clinton Station Diner actually goes even higher than 50lb now, I'll check next time I stop in.
PS. they all look gross, especially since my limit is a bacon cheeburger hold everything else
Nov 24, 2010 at 6:11 UTC
that is a good one.

The eerie thing about every End-Of-The-World story in nearly every religion throughout history: they all mention the dead rising from the grave and walking upon the earth once more (granted, it isn't explicitly implied they're the flesh-eater variety of resurrected corpses, but, better safe than sorry).
Churches, especially the older stone cathedrals built by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches at first seem like ideal places to fortify yourself when the dead rise. Stone and concrete walls, high forcing-you-to-look-toward-heaven windows, thick, heavy doors, well-supplied housing facilities for the parish and those seeking sanctuary, and often with one or more bell towers that could function as a prime sniping locations. For example, many Catholic churches, not even the larger cathedrals or chapels, in the United States were built in a time when they often had to defend against human-wave attacks, in this case usually being mobs of native-born Protestants rather than zombies, and were accordingly fortified.
However, churches rank low on the zombie survival meter, just as hospitals and police stations do. This is not because Satan's soldiers are trying to destroy the house of God: it's where the food is. As the rest of society falls around them, droves of people are likely to swarm to their nearest place of worship to pray for healing or miracles - only to be followed by the shambling undead, in slow and steady pursuit of their prey.
Even if a group does manage to make an adequate defense, there are going to be internal dangers. While few religious people are extremists, one is more likely to find extremist personalities amongst survivors making camp of a religious center. In every religion there are people who take their holy scripture as the word, and intolerant, even hostile or violent to anyone or anything that deviates from that belief even slightly. Extremist personalities are more likely to ignore logic or reasoning, which can prove a fatal flaw. As the situation begins to seem more hopeless, more and more survivors may to listen to the almost insane preaching's of these radicals. On top of all this, churches are one the most barren places imaginable when it comes to supplies. Stained glass windows, pews, organ pipes, and bibles can be found aplenty, but not so much when it comes to weapons, food, ammo, medicine, or fuel.
World War Z has several accounts of religious fundamentalists who have led themselves and the poor souls following them to tragedy, from child "mercy killings", to a cult who thought that the rapture was near and believed that the only way that they could ascend to heaven was to infect themselves and everyone else as soon as possible, with one group even making an attempt on the U.S. President's life. Also notable were accounts of a rampant religious sects spreading (and acting on) the absurd and disturbing belief that once one has sex with a virgin, one will be cleansed of the infection (echoing the same real-life false belief currently plaguing AIDS ridden African slums).
It should also be noted that there are often cemeteries in close proximity to churches, meaning that depending on the type of zombie outbreak these might actually be among the worst places to hide.
Being the epicenter of the outbreak. In some older churches the dead also used to be buried inside the church, though they would be covered by large heavy stones on top of their graves (from the church floor). But considering that some zombie outbreaks involve zombies crawling out of six feet of earth and a tough wooden coffin, that might not be a big deterrent for the living dead. Also note that there might be catacombs beneath larger and older churches. However many of the bodies buried in older churches will obviously be mostly devoid of flesh meaning they wouldn't be able to walk at all. Again, this is highly dependent on the type of zombie outbreak.

Leland Orser slept in guest room while filming drama with wife Jeanne Tripplehorn
Jeanne Tripplehorn insisted her husband Leland Orser slept in their guest house while they worked together on new movie Morning because she feared spending so much time together would cause tension in their marriage. The Taken actor wrote, starred and directed the drama, about a couple coping with the loss of a child, and Tripplehorn admits they took a little time out of their real-life relationship during the shoot.
She says, "It's a little intense… We just decided during the period of working together, because it would be so intense, that he would move to the guest house. I needed a little separation of church and state and the marriage survived!"
The actress wed Orser in 2000.

General Information
Information about Internships/Stagiaires
Temporary Agent posts (indefinite duration) in the GUE/NGL Group are always advertised on this site.
The requirements for each vacancy will be clearly set out in each notice.
Normally, we will examine all applications and select between three and five for interview including oral and written tests.
There is no point in submitting a spontaneous application for a Temporary Agent post.
Contract Agent posts (fixed term and, usually, short term) often arise on an ad hoc basis to meet an immediate need.
Interested and qualified candidates (a two-year post-secondary diploma or a second-level qualification plus three years relevant professional experience is the absolute minimum) are invited to submit a EuroPass CV (2-3 pages) plus a motivation letter (one page) to firstname.lastname@example.com
In the Subject line, using up to 25 character spaces, describe the position/policy area you are suited to. E.g., Accountant, Bookkeeper, International Affairs, Social policy, Secretary etc.
You will receive an automated response but we will not be able to engage in any exchange beyond that because our resources simply do not allow it.

The Decimator 2is a low cost, easy to use downconverter and video distribution box. It is unique because it will accept HD-SDI, SDI or 3G (4x4x4) video signals, and output both HDMI, SD Video, and Analog Audio — no other mini-converter has all of these features. Once it detects an input signal, a colored diode lights up depending on the format, while a yellow diode indicates it is getting power. The Decimator will output all three signals (SDI loop-thru, HDMI, and Video) at the same time. A set of toggle switches on the back enable the user to set it up for different types of inputs and a wide selection of output options.
The Decimator is intended as a rack-mounted or monitor-mounted unit, and a mounting plate with screws is supplied. However, with a low weight of only .45 lbs, it can easily be rigged to a camera such as the RED.
Powered by DC 5-24V power, the Decimator comes with a power supply. Abel Cine Tech also sells a P-Tap adaptor that allows use with an on-board camera battery. It can also be powered by a Nebtek plate accepting Sony, Panasonic or Canon batteries.
USB and HDMI cables are included in the box.

Did previous changes move stable functionality over to using an unstable properties implementation? If so then I missed the significance of those changes. Furthermore, I missed the significance of the addition of new features that used undocumented/unreleased and untested features of core. Of course, there is no problem with doing this as long as we have a release of the plugin at the point at which it was only using stable features. We now have a situation where a plugin that claims to be compatible with 0.8 is using features that will not be a part of the 0.8 release. See my original objects as to why this is a problem, together with my further responses in other parts of this thread. Sorry I didn't pick up on this earlier, it only dawned on me when Cyriaque did the right thing and asked if the community felt his changes were OK. Ross
