I have been working at SAP full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – SAP is a great place to work. The strategy is clear and it's working. The company focuses on making it's customers, partners and employees successful. The people are top notch. For my role, there is a lot of flexibility to be able to determine how, where and when I work. I feel like I can make a positive difference in the world working for SAP.
Cons – There are many breaks because of the nature of the high tech industry and our competitive posture. There are also not many women in high tech, so for me (a woman), it's hard to progress to higher levels of the organization. Also, sometimes because of the rapid pace of delivery, the left hand and the right hand don't realize that they are working at odds or redundantly. That's a pet peeve of mine.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep working on the women in management initiative, but go deeper in the topic. You need women on the board and in senior management who think differently to the men so that you get the value of diverse thinking in SAP strategy. If you only keep people who think like men, you lose the benefit.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

From the sound of it, if young Mr. Riddles hadn't paniced and run, he wouldn't be having a problem now. A stolen bike, both changing lanes, sounds like a plain old traffic accident. Sad.

The original charges were sufficient to lock them up for many years. The recent addition is an excessive response by the feds to prove that even though their oversight of this type of facility, their management of contracts for this type of facility and their continued efforts to cut funding for security for this type of facility is a joke. Nothing they've done has changed the fact that these three were able to cut through three separate fences each of which was supposedly monitored electronically and visually, that even when they cut through the fence within the third security level they were able to have a picnic and deface a containment wall, and then when security officers finally showed up were allowed to go back to their backpacks to retrieve pamphlets and other items. Go for hang 'em high, and sleep better for knowing the terrorists have been locked up for the rest of their lives. And know that we'll have sent out a message to all protestors that if they do the same they'll also rot in federal prison for many years. But so far what we've shown to the true terrorists is that there are a bunch of facilities just like this one that are fair game for any team that's competent and planning on rapidly doing something other than adding some spray paint while having a picnic at the base of a critical containment area.
And as much as I hate it when others go off-topic I have to come back to this quote from the judge: "When weapons are possessed to deter others, the precise intent is not to use them. The court considers the situation to be analogous to the junkyard owner who posts a sign saying 'mean dog' inside his junkyard. The purpose of the sign is not to threaten or commit violence. Instead, the junkyard owner posts the sign to deter acts on the part of others so that the dog will not have to bite." The timing is rather ironic since Obama and several state governments are now making a major push to restrict gun ownership, including a proposed ban in Illinois of even a pump action shot gun. Not to mention that we're also globally defining which countries are allowed to own what kinds of weapons or technology.

Tobin's q, Unionization, and the Concentration-Profits Relationship
This article uses Tobin's q, the ratio of the market value of a firm to the replacement value of its physical assets, to measure monopoly power and to examine the relationship between market structure and profitability. Tobin's q is a better measure of monopoly profits than indices of single-period profitability because it measures long-run monopoly power. In addition, it is subject to less measurement error and it contains an adjustment for risk. The relationship between q and long-run monopoly power is established. Provided that all inputs are supplied competitively, q should be highly sensitive to even small amounts of monopoly power. Since the level of q is generally not high in the American economy, the result suggests either that monopoly power is absent or that unions manage to capture monopoly rents. Empirical tests of the relationship between Tobin's q and measures of market structure and unionization provide evidence that unions do capture most monopoly rents.Download Info

Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid icon who emerged as South Africa's first black President after spending 27 years as a political prisoner, passed away at the age of 95.
While human beings around the planet Earth mourned the loss of a hero, the vile repugnant slime monsters, whom also go by…
People are so disrespectful… at the time of a changed man's death, you bring up his past and start insulting him. None of these people understood the level of racism that went on in South Africa at the time….
one time a white student from the university in my home town was talking to a student that came from africa to study and said "wow growing up in africa must have been so tough for you" and he just replied "my family could buy you" and walked away

everyone in my psychology class is so afraid to say the black out loud and whenever theyre about to they stop short look at me and say african american instead

I know Gaga hates being compared to other artists, but I've gotta do it this time, because I saw such a sharp contrast between three of the bigger female pop acts who performed at the AMA's tonight.
Katy Perry put on a cheap, stupid, culturally appropriative, racially insensitive minstrel act…

I was in Oslo work over a weekend. The hotel was a welcome Oasis in this cold (and very expensive) country. Rooms were perfect; staff professional and polite; location great; and the breakfast was exceptional! Only compliant was the bar outside the hotel (across the street) that played karaoke (very loudly) until 4am. Request an inside rooms.

Today, after a morning and early morning at the Musée d'Orsay, we went to the Musée Maillol, on rue Grenelle, just one block from rue du Bac. There is a fascinating special exhibit of Venetian glass objects, from the 15th century to the present day, showing a wide variety of methods for making and decorating the glassware, as well as some very "modern-artist" items that defy written explanation. The upper floor has a large and diverse collection of works by Aristede Maillot himself, as well as some by important other artists his model and "companion" had collected herself. It was a surprisingly-enlightening visit, and we stayed much longer than I had expected.

Thank you for this report, Claude. I had never heard of this museum. My wife is a glass artist, and I'm sure we would like to see the special exhibit. Do you know how long it will be on show? I looked at the site http://www.museemaillol.com/ but could not tell how long that special exhibition will be up.
Unfortunately, it looks like we won't make it to Paris this Fall as usual --- sigh ---- -

It looks like it will run from 27 March to 28 July. Organizing this unique exhibition seems to have required a lot iof effort, so I would not be too surprised if it moves on to another city later this year, perhaps in the US. However, we didn't see anything at the musée today that would indicate that kind of joint sponsorship.
We saw the Chuhuli exhibition in San Francisco a few years ago (2008?), and this one outshines it. -
Report Abuse
While we know and like Chihuli, I'm sure the exhibition of glass done in the 1400s must be more impressive than the stuff Dale is currently doing with his modern equipment and army of gaffers.
That being said, visiting the new Chihuli Museum of Glass (and self aggrandisement) in Seattle http://www.chihulygardenandglass.com/ is well worth a visit. -

A handsome, smaller museum is a pleasant alternative in Paris, especially when it has grown out of an intriguing history. Aristide Maillol was a prominent sculptor in the latter years of the 19th Century and first half of the 20th Century. He came from the southwest, as much Spanish-Basque as French. In his elder years his model, muse and (possibly platonic) companion was Dina Vierny, who after his death was the moving force in establishing this monument. Its works and special shows tend to focus on the period of his life; I saw an exhibit of pre-Stalin modern Russian art there a few years ago. Wikipedia is helpful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillol

And, for those who seek out works by Berthe Morisot - there are several in the collection.

"He came from the southwest, as much Spanish-Basque as French."
If he was Basque, Picasso was Norwegian. He was Catalan, born in French Catalonia (Banyuls-sur-Mer).

Floyd Landis remains in 4th place
Updated: November 3, 2010, 11:49 PM ET
Associated Press
INVERCARGILL, New Zealand -- Disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis remained fourth in the Tour of Southland following a sixth-place finish Thursday in the sixth of nine stages.
Landis, the American stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title because of doping, finished the 83-mile stage from Lumsden to the Crown Range 27 seconds behind stage winner and tour leader Jeremy Yates of New Zealand.
Yates completed the stage in 3 hours, 43 minutes, 15 seconds, extending his overall tour lead to 24 seconds over Jack Bauer. Landis was 1:39 behind in the overall standings.
The tour concludes Saturday at Invercargill.

Hunger Games Simulation (Daedalus 2.5)
Oct 12, 2013 Full Version 0 commentsAn accurate simulation of "The Hunger Games". You're a tribute, fighting intelligent AI in a "battle royal" to be the last person standing. Inspired by...
An accurate simulation of "The Hunger Games". You're a tribute, fighting intelligent AI in a "battle royal" to be the last person standing. Inspired by the novel by Suzanne Collins and the movie by Lionsgate Films. This is a turned based combat game in 1st person perspective. The randomly generated arena features a central "Cornucopia" filled with melee and ranged weapons along with food and other gear, surrounded by wilderness in which one can hide or forage. You may form alliances with the other tributes, and backstab or be backstabbed by your allies. In the preview image (from an external observer) you can see the semicircle of 24 tributes on their platforms, the central golden Cornucopia, gear in front of and within it, and surrounding forest containing mountains and rivers. May the odds be ever in your favor! :)

The new version 2.5 of The Hunger Games Simulation is downloadable here, and features the following additions over the previous version 2.4 that was released in March:
An accurate simulation of "The Hunger Games". You're a tribute, fighting intelligent AI in a "battle royal" to be the last person standing. Inspired by...
This is an older release: You probably want to download the latest version 2.5 instead.
I really cannot wait for 48, 96, 12, 120, and 144 tribute hunger games!
(And of course extending by 24 more and more, possibly all the way to 1200?)
I hate to sound like an impatient child but.
Hi, there appears to be a bug where, if you give someone a net (or at least the District 7 Girl, not sure if it works on the other tributes)
They seem to either give it back to you, or drop it. You can then continue to give them the net, to make them like you extremely fast.
They also seem to break their alliance out of seemingly nowhere, we seemed to just be wondering around when the D7 girl started to attack me.
Oh well.
My desperate attempts to give her a valuable net has failed.
Was the District 7 Girl by chance wielding a Sword? Tributes drop or give away items they can't use. A Net is a melee only weapon rated the same as a Sword, so wielding a Sword (also a melee only weapon) will make one believe a Net isn't any better, and so get rid of it.
Alliance improving is currently based on the static value of the item. It should probably instead be based on the value of the item to them at the time - in other words giving a Sword should improve an alliance a lot, a little, or not at all depending on what they're already wielding.
There's usually only one winner, so most allies will turn on you at some point. :) For example, whenever a cannon fires, the remaining tributes get more suspicious of each other. Allies can also get angry if you attack somebody they like better than you, e.g. attacking the D7 Boy is likely to annoy the D7 Girl, even if she's already an ally.
Is there any way to get more or less than 24 tributes in a arena? For example 48 to recreate the 2nd quarter quell? It should be possible at the time, shouldn't it?
No, the current version always has 24 tributes. I agree a setting to change the number of tributes per District (or even the number of Districts) would allow interesting options, such as reproducing the 2nd Quarter Quell that Haymitch won. :)
One last question, I was hoping that you could make the world even more 3D by allowing differently elevated surfaces, that you can stand on top of. This could also recreate the little slope in the 74th games.
Yes, I agree that would improve the game. :) That would allow you to climb on top of mountains instead of just clinging to the sides of cliffs, and allow water to be visibly lower than the rest of the ground. The 75th HG also features elevation prominently, with the Cornucopia clock wedges in a depression with a slope rising all around it.
To attack another tribute in melee, just move into them. You can also attack by using the Throw command ("F8" or "t" hotkey). These attack methods are described on page 2 of the in-game help text (Click "OK" on the opening screen to see it).
That's a nice link to part of a randomly generated 4096x4096 square arena, which is the largest possible in the Hunger Games Simulation. Assuming each square is 5x5 feet, then the maximum arena is 3.87 miles across, and covers over 15 square miles! :)

Straight from the Streets (1999)
Movie Info
Straight from the Streets chronicles some of the milestones that faced the African-American community during the early '90s, beginning with the Los Angeles riots of 1992 and concluding with the Million Man March of 1995; however, the focus of the film is not so much on the events themselves, but the profound impact they had throughout modern black America, particularly in the inner cities. Among the speakers include actor Denzel Washington and civil rights activist Louis Farrakhan, while Snoop

Naples Tax Day Tea Party, 4/15/2010
12 noon - 2 PM
US 41 North and Pine Ridge roadWhat is a Tea Party? "A group of everyday citizens (like you and I) promoting conservative public
policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional
American values, and a strong national defense." Many of us come together to protest what we see
as our non-representing representatives, following their own agendas instead of the clear will
of the American People. We believe our politicians are out of touch with the people they serve,
specifically in terms of taxation and spending. They are also culpable in the erosion of our Judeo-
Christian values which have been at the core of American life since they were fought for and won
by the blood of our founding fathers, during the American Revolution.
Will you folks be shouting the N word at minorities as they drive by?

cool,classy and some of the best music from the 70's
By emeka from Surrey, England , 12 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
I have got the 12 inch LP album of this film. The score is brilliant : night fever, staying alive, how deep is your love, and of course, disco inferno (burn, baby burn!!!!!). The acting is 70's but boy, the dancing (made quite sleek and mesmerising by the cool JT - John Travolta) is unique. I have sen this film many times and will see it again. Each time I see it, it not only reminds me of my disco days but also shows how much effort was put into making musicals in the days when technology wasn't ''advanced'' - if you see what I mean!!! I will recommend this to anyone. Great family entertainment.- Was this review helpful to you?

(38)Unexpectedly distressing
By a customer from London , 18 Jan 2009I rented this film because it is a classic, the kind of film everyone talks about. I was expecting disco dancing and dated costumes. These I got, but what I did not expect was the unrepentant misogyny of almost all the characters or the despicable actions of the main character. At the point when it seemed that Tony (John Travolta) had turned a corner and started to be redeemable, he then commits one of his worst acts of the film, closely followed by his not intervening at all to stop another horrendous act on the part of his friends.
I do not know what the film was trying to accomplish, but unless its aim was despair, it has not succeeded.- Was this review helpful to you?

One thing that people like about the Kentucky Derby, aside from horses, of course, is the glamour surrounding the event.
Everyone is excited about maybe getting a chance to glimpse of a celebrity or two, or to dress up in fancy hats or just enjoy a tasty mint julep.
Wakefield-Scearce Gallery has had its share of celebrity visitors during past Derbies, and employees enjoy recalling the stars and what kinds of trinkets caught their eyes at the gallery.
"We have had Stephanie Powers and Robert Wagner and even Lauren Bacall come in," said Patti Wilson, a decorator at the gallery.
"And of course, William Shatner, but he's a local, you may as well say."
Wilson said that when stars drop in, they are mostly interested in small collectable items, usually silver.
"There was a lady in Bloomfield who used to hold a large Derby party each year, and celebs would come in here with her, but she no longer does that," Wilson said. "Now, they mostly just fly in for the Oaks, they go to parties that night, go to the Derby the next day, and they don't linger as much these days."
Wilson said that although the smaller items are big with celebrities, the late actor Robert Urich, who died in 2006, was an exception.
"He bought a bunch of furniture from us, and we shipped it to a cabin out west somewhere that he was building," she said.
Matthew Burnett, the gallery's chief financial officer, said he remembers when John Lovitz of Saturday Night Live fame came in a couple of years ago.
"I walked around with him, and he wanted to buy a gift for some people he was staying with," Burnett said.
He added that the public, as well as celebrities, enjoy browsing through the gallery's selection of sterling julep cups and other Derby-related items.
"They're a good traffic generator for us," he said. "People want to have a good time and enjoy themselves, and here they can experience the feel of the Derby and maybe pick up a julep cup."
Wilson said the gallery sells a lot of julep cups, even though they start at $850.
The gallery began having a silversmith manufacture its julep cups as soon as the facility was founded in 1947 by Mark A. Wakefield and Mark J. Scearce, who bought a portion of the old Science Hill School, with Scearce acquiring the rest of the property in 1965.
Each julep cup is named after the president who was in office at the time the cup was made, and has the president's name engraved on the bottom.
"We have them for every president since Truman," Wilson said.
The gallery displays its copy of the Kentucky Derby Trophy, made by the gallery in the early 1970s, each year at Derby time, and has other Derby items scattered throughout the gallery as well, with price tags ranging from modest amounts to more expensive, such as hand-painted china with horse patterns and julep cups just shy of $2,000 each, to dish towels in the gift shop with mint julep recipes on them.
"This is our Derby room; we are rather proud of it," Wilson said, glancing around at the horse art and sculptures and a huge bouquet of red tulips adorning the central table.
"Churchill Downs uses roses for the [Derby] winner, but they decorate the grounds with tulips," she said.
And then there is the Derby apparel at W Cromwell and the Country Lady, with scores of brightly colored neckties decorated with horses and jockeys, and, of course, the ever-popular hats.
"How do I look?" asked Wilson, trying on a stylish hat and pirouetting before a mirror in the shop, the County Lady, owned by Geri and Billy Andriot. "I've had my eye on this one."

Sir Malcolm Rifkind: Wrong to blame crash on Chinook crew
Related Articles
Published: 04 January 2010
Former defence secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind said new evidence of the helicopter having computer faults before the 1994 crash placed greater doubt on the accident being due to the "gross negligence" of pilots Jonathan Tapper and Rick Cook.
The BBC today published an internal Ministry of Defence document which stated that software was "positively dangerous" nine months before the Chinook came down over the Mull of Kintyre.
Sir Malcolm told the Today programme: "The one thing you can't do is blame human error."
The MoD said in a statement: "Nothing has been presented to successive Secretaries of State that would justify reopening the inquiry."

603 apply to vote on district for Kansas City streetcar line
- David Twiddy
- Reporter- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
As of the Tuesday deadline, 603 residents of Kansas City's Downtown submitted applications to vote on whether to create a special taxing district for a proposed Main Street streetcar line.
Janelle Jennings, a special projects law clerk with the Jackson County Circuit Court Administrator's office, said the number of people who will be allowed to vote is likely to change as she weeds out duplicate and flawed applications and adds some mailed applications that haven't yet been opened.
She said a final total will be ready by the end of the week.
The number of ballot applications swelled due to a final push by streetcar backers. The count stood at 474 at the end of the day Monday.
Tuesday's count of 603 requested applications represents slightly more than 10 percent of the 5,900 people that Jackson County election officials say are registered to vote in the proposed district's boundaries.
Backers of the streetcar plan say the application "turnout" is closer to 19 percent. That figure is based on the 3,200 people in the district boundaries who have voted in the past 10 years.
"I think we're doing pretty good, " said City Councilman Russ Johnson. "It's in line with the turnout in municipal elections. ... Am I happy that municipal election turnout is low? No. But I'm pleased (the applications) are at least in line with municipal elections."
Voters will be asked to approve a special taxing district that would run generally from the Missouri River to Crown Center, encompassing the Downtown Loop and bordered by Broadway to the west and Gillham Road/Oak Street/Locust Street to the east.
Within the district, the city wants to assess special property and sales taxes to raise the $75 million local share for building and running a streetcar line between the River Market and Union Station. City officials also have applied for a $25 million federal grant for the $101 million project.
Ballots for the question of whether to create the district will be mailed out on June 19 and must be returned by July 31. If the measure passes, the city will hold a second election to approve the slate of special taxes.

Posted: 07/14/2011
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has been invited to attend a Marine Corps Ball after helping to persuade his FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS co-star MILA KUNIS to go to one as a soldier's date.
Kunis, who was asked to attend the gala via a YouTube.com video posted by Sgt. Scott Moore, has since pulled out of the party due to work commitments - and now her onscreen lover has become the target of a military fan.
Corporal Kelsey De Santis, who is stationed at the Marine Corps base at Quantico in Virginia, has posted her own video clip on YouTube.com, asking the SexyBack singer to be her date.
She says, "Justin, you wanna call out my girl Mila, well I'm gonna call you out and ask you to go to the Marine Corps Ball with me on November 12, in Washington D.C."
Quoting the title of one of Timberlake's hits, she continues, "If you can't go, all I can say is, 'Cry me a river'."
Even if he agrees and Kunis reconsiders, they won't be at the same ball - De Santis has invited him to one six days before the party the actress was to attend.
Kunis, who is still trying to rearrange her production schedule so she can make the date with her soldier fan, has agreed to meet with Sgt. Moore privately when he returns from Afghanistan, where he is currently posted.

Round-the-World Freighters
Q. I would like to travel on a commercial vessel with private accommodations on an extended around the world itinerary. Can you help? -- Elizabeth Braun, Boca Raton, Fla.
A. There are four major freighter lines that cater to around-the-world passengers and two companies in the United States act as their selling agents.
Freighter World Cruises represents three of them: Bank Line, a British concern, and two German lines, Deutsche Seereederei Rostock (known as D.S.R.) and Niederelbe Schiffahrtsgesellschaft Buxtehube (N.S.B.).
Maris USA represents the other one, ABC Containerline, a Belgian company.
Of the four, Bank Line probably fits most people's pictures of freighter travel. Its four ships use their own cranes to offload cargo in smaller ports, a traditional activity that is interesting to watch. This is in contrast to ships of the other lines, and indeed most other freighters today, which by and large carry their cargoes in containers.

Bring chaos theory to English language teaching
2011 07 07
By Maurice Claypole |
By relying on grammar rules in class, learners are in danger of becoming detached from the dynamism of spoken language
A van pulls into a UK service area sporting in foot-high letters the query, "Does my broadband look big in this?" Nearby, McDonald's announces to the world: "I'm lovin' it." To the learner of English, often brought up on a diet of grammar rules and comfortably defined meanings, such instances of language use, while commonplace, often seem to defy analysis.
In particular, it is pointless to debate whether the hamburger slogan represents correct use of a stative verb. If the rule does not match such widespread usage, it is the rule, not the example, that has to go.
But why are grammar rules so elusive? Why do so many items of vocabulary seem to defy the attempts of lexicographers to tie them down to anything other than a vaguely defined core meaning? Why does the socio-cultural context of today exert such a powerful influence on the received meaning of tomorrow?
The answer lies in the dynamic nature of language itself and in the complex network of ever-changing patterns that are constantly being expanded and reformed through an ongoing process of interaction, iteration and feedback.
Sometimes a simple phrase can, through a process of quasi-repetition, spread from its initial roots to spark off a new generation of inferences. Thus, the example cited above is being used by a British telecoms provider to capitalise on a popular catch-phrase from a 1990s comedy series in which the question, "Does my bum look big in this?" is repeated in a variety of humorous situations.
Learners and teachers generally favour practical solutions to language problems in the form of easy-to-follow guidelines and clear categories that serve to package language structures and utterances for easy consumption. But there are times when we can benefit from taking a broader view by considering the language we use in the context of other, more rigorous, scientific disciplines.
One view of the world in particular embraces a wealth of perceptions that extend from the beauty of a rose to the violence of lightning, from the magnificence of the fjords to the mysteries of the macrocosm; science, nature and art coalesce in the fantastic world of fractal forms.
A fractal is essentially a mathematical construct a formula, if you like but unlike the Euclidean geometry of perfect circles and triangles, fractals are forms that are present in nature and that embody the key features of self-organisation, self-similarity and dynamism.
Human language shares these traits; like the weather, it changes in a dynamic way as seemingly insignificant factors are fed back into a loop of cause and effect in which the magnitude of the outcome bears no relation to that of the input values, a phenomenon which frequently produces unexpected results, the so-called butterfly effect of chaos theory.
(Unless you consider that there might be a conspiracy to destroy language and limit peoples vocabulary. Much in the same way that weather manipulating technology is messing with the natural dynamic of the weather on this planet. But since this is happening outside of most peoples awareness, it doesn't exist .. right? The results of weather manipulation or destruction of language might still be unexpected though.)
For this reason the dynamic nature of the English language does not properly lend itself to static analysis; it is not governed by simple rules but driven by an ongoing, iterative process of self-referential contextualisation. In other words, English usage obeys a set of "laws", but these are complex in nature and often defy prediction.
The paradigm used in the fractal approach to ELT concentrates on creative output rather than on a fixed initial state of the language. Since the model is rooted outside any notion of formal language structure, it may be counterintuitive to many language teachers, but also opens up new possibilities by placing more emphasis on non-verbal contributors to meaning, acknowledging more grey areas of acceptability, stressing the fleeting nature of the spoken language and allowing the teacher to use material that may previously have been disregarded since it did not conform to a previously perceived pattern.
Each time a word or expression is used, it acquires a new valence as a result of external factors such as the context in which it was uttered, the intention of the speaker and the medium in which it occurred. By declaring "war on terror", George W Bush had already redefined the notion of "war", and by similarly declaring a cyber attack to be an "act of war", the Obama administration has recently extended this notion still further or more accurately, has provided an additional instance variable within the mathematical boundaries of the set of meanings attributable to the term "war".
This phenomenon applies to every use of the language and is the generating force behind all forms of peer group discourse, from rhyming slang and Hinglish to financial jargon, political obfuscation and Twitterese. The dynamic model recognises that by using the language we change it. Once you have used or encountered a word or a phrase in a new context, it takes on associations and meanings it did not have before. Such instances of linguistic iteration frequently fall outside the scope of regular language lessons and yet the patterns they reveal are as commonplace as they are complex.
For teachers, it is important to resist the temptation to dumb down or sanitise the language in order to teach it. If a received grammar rule or text-book explanation fails a harsh reality check, then it is time to throw it out, but by contrast, educators should be wary of discarding real-life material by characterising it as "slang", "regional", "jargon", or similar and instead seek to emphasise the effect that context has on meaning and introduce new material from a wide range of sources, even if they appear to conflict with one another.
Above all, the fractal approach favours a goal-oriented method of teaching combined with a holistic view of language acquisition. It encourages students to explore new paths and expand their language skills by discovering new aspects of English through pattern recognition rather than static language acquisition. The objective is not to tame the chaos of language but to encourage learners to appreciate the dynamic qualities inherent in its use.
Rather than being alienated by new instances of self-referential language in practice, students, too, should be lovin' it.

Dear Abby was a pioneer and an advice columnists inspiration
An era has passed with the death Wednesday of legendary advice columnist Dear Abby at 94, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Dear Abby: My husband is in the paint and paper business. A young widow in the next town asked him to paint her kitchen, and he has been doing the job. Abby, he started four months ago and he hasn't finished yet. Is this possible?
Dear Marion: How big is the lady's kitchen?"
It was with this sharp tongue and dry wit that legendary advice columnist Dear Abby skewered the heart of a question, while never demeaning the questioner.
Pauline Friedman Phillips died Wednesday, at 94, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Her passing marks the end of nearly five decades when twin sisters Phillips, who under the name of Abigail Van Buren, and Esther Friedman Lederer (Ann Landers) provided the most trusted voices in North America through the second half of the 20th century.
Their succinct, sharp answers on relationship problems in a rapidly changing world, gave a forum to millions of readers long before people turned to counsellors, talk shows, reality-TV and social media to air their personal issues.
They inspired many future advice-givers, like myself. I started my Ellie column in the Toronto Star shortly after Ann Landers had passed and when it was already known that Abby was no longer writing.
Their successors today tackle questions on the search for happiness, love, and self-confidence within increasingly multi-layered relationships, and come from a diverse populace in a highly complex world.
Consider a modern question that came to me from Chicago. "My baby daddy just got out of jail. He is sleeping with my sister. She stole my phone. How do I get my phone back?"
Dear Abby's legacy still calls for straight-talk advice, while the 21st century's choices can only be narrowed with a dose of compassion.
The Dear Abby column eventually reached a daily readership of 100 million through newspapers across the globe. Her daughter, Jeanne Phillips, took over the writing in 1987 and the "Dear Abby" title in 2000.
But since the mid-1950s, Abby and Ann, who died 10 years ago, dominated the newspaper advice field, which arose in print in England in the 1850s, under the label of "agony aunts," then often written by male editors with female pseudonyms.
Using the name Abigail Van Buren, the Dear Abby column, was first published in 1956, springing from unusual circumstances.
Sister Esther had already been hired to replace a former "Ann Landers" at the Chicago Sun-Times months before, but was overwhelmed by the quantity of mail. She sent off batches to her sister in California to answer and returned, until a Sun-Times editor quashed the arrangement.
Phillips walked into the San Francisco Chronicle and was hired for work the next day.
Dear Abby became known as the sharper tongue. Her style leaned toward the dry one-liner, yet even her flippancy delivered its point. Long before Dr. Phil's "Get real," she shone a mirror on the problem.
Born in 1918 to mid-Western, middle-class Jewish parents, the twins married on the same day, both to successful, affluent men. Neither had newspaper experience or counselling degrees. But they had smarts, humour and chutzpa.
Both women became standard-bearers for common sense, and dignified accommodation to the postwar times, including the sexual revolution, feminism and the anti-Vietnam war movement.
Dear Abby adjusted her own advice through the times, coming to accept that divorce was often the better choice than having children grow up in a home of discord.
The iconic twins brought such social awareness to perplexed minds at a time when people still kept many of their personal problems to themselves.
They couldn't keep their own feud out of the media, however, and reportedly stopped speaking to each other for some five years but reconciled in the mid-1960s.
