Arsenal unfortunate accident of the cup, as Martin O'Neill's car continues at the Stadium of Light

Arsenal beat Sunderland last time in the FA Cup - in the semifinals Saturday, April 7, 1973, goals from Billy Hughes and Vic Halom sending the Wearsiders at Wembley - which would win the trophy.

If Martin O'Neill's side so prevalent today against the Gunners' old jiggered, passed into history repeat itself? Major figures in the art world are not expected, since less than 24 hours after the aforesaid victory, Pablo Picasso died.

The likes of Tracey Emin and Ai Weiwei, you can calm down, however, as Arsenal have the advantage in recent games, cup after Sunderland was abolished in 1991 and 1997 .

But let's be honest, it is as relevant as Arsenal win 5-0 in the Cup in 1906, or 6-0 victory for Sunderland in 1893, or the triumph of Sunderland 2-1 in 1961. I do not know why I say anything about it, really. In fact, we all know why, it is to pass the time until kick off, but we will not spoil the magic.

Specifically is the last Sunderland:

Four wins in their last six games, with one defeat, even if it was the last A against both, however, Arsenal.

Arsenal could have won here at the Stadium of Light last week, but the confidence gained by the result that was lost after the

that

to humiliation in Milan.
Three wins in their last six games, two losses of more, not a big club happy

therefore unpredictable, this game has the potential to be:. A classic Cup ages

aa

Kick-off:. 5:15 p.m.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, the star of today. Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)

Sunderland welcome back captain Lee Cattermole from injury, with Fraizer Campbell as follows:

Mignolet, Bardsley, O'Shea, Turner , Richardson, Larsson, Cattermole, Gardner, Colback, McClean, SESSEGNON. Subs:. Westwood, Bridge, Campbell, Ji, Meyler, Kyrgiakos, Elmohamady

Gervinho comes straight back in the Arsenal team, hopes to put his fear of the Nations Cup with the Ivory Coast behind:

Fabianski, Sagna, Djourou, Vermaelen, Coquelin, Song, Arteta, Gervinho, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Van Persie Subs: .. Szczesny, Rosicky, Walcott, Squillaci, Arshavin, Chamakh, Benayoun

strains of the Dance of the Knights, the teams take the field. Aa Sunderland his trademark red and white stripes, Arsenal get a series of two shades of blue. Arsenal win a little moral credit in the handshake: your pet gives his Arsenal counterpart Junior pennant, but it receives the tapered end of FEP while back. Oh Sunderland

and go! Arsenal throw the ball bearing. Just a few empty seats around the stadium, but not received sniffy, there is a recession. Lot of noise, however. And it's a brilliant start by Arsenal Bardsley, Gervinho last race on the left and win a corner in the first 50 seconds or so. So what happens in this corner, then?

2 min. Nothing, that's what

4 minutes: Arsenal have started well here. Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right race and managed to dig a cross even though he had a postage stamp area the size of the field to work in. It has a certain perspective, this boy. Nothing to do with this intersection, the record, Turner is cut before the ball is anywhere near the danger zone. "So he goes back in time to send today Clattermole and Gervinho can make a comeback to cover a screen usually unnecessary for missing a penalty," he predicted Lou Roper. Meanwhile, Ben Dunn asks, "Gus Caesar called difficult or Djourou?". Requiring public tonight. Where is the love?

6 minutes: Van Persie was about twenty meters in the middle. Arteta takes the free kick, and hits a few inches wide effort delicious to the left of goal. Mignolet had covered, but only just, it was not far from the upper left corner at all. "Maybe Picasso painted this when the FA Cup final was played at the Millennium Summit?" Robi Polgar issue, focusing on leeks, I'll be bound.

8 minutes: Coquelin is surmounted by Larsson, but the speed starts to increase erratically, clinging to the back of his left leg . He falls to the grass and rolls his thigh was clearly gone. Poor fellow. He will be replaced by Squillaci.

10 minutes: SESSEGNON is

this


clear to break the inside left channel Djourou step, but the Arsenal man receives a foot in front of the attacker can get into the Sunderland box. It was almost a one-on-one. The crowd to raise their voices

11 min: McClean wins a corner on the left. The corner is placed at the near post and hit the trail on the left. Do you move your hand to the ball? I'm not sure I had much idea of ??what was happening there. The referee is having none of it, anyway. Arsenal clear.

14 min: SESSEGNON has a window of about 25 meters from the center of the field, leaving one shoulder, pushing the ball to a couple of rolls to the right, and trigger an increase in effort goalwards. The ball is deflected just wide, and probably a little too high as well. However, a very decent effort, however, the first half of the Sunderland game.

18 min: Song lags after contact with Cattermole. In fairness to the reviled Clanker Sunderland, which was a challenge just 50-50. On the touchline, Arsene Wenger, jumping around like crazy. "Here are some good Fitba art, Keith Haring powerful," writes Ryan Dunne. "I think it's called Two Yellow Jelly Babies Objection to a dropped ball. My money is on the guy on the left."

20 minutes: With Coquelin, the song limping, and looking Ramsey is not happy either, pushes the ball over Arsenal caution today. They do absolutely nothing in advance. "The Arsenal of course not be trusted defenders," said Matt Dony. "If I had broken with the frequency converters Arsene breeze back, my father would have taken everything from me."

22 min: Ramsey dinks a clever head on Turner and continue seeking to enter the space through the center of the court. Turner cynically checked their progress, and the chance to escape the situation without a yellow. It's a free kick, but it did not work. The crowd is a bit quiet today, Sunderland are not putting anything of note, with

25 minutes: is very present report. Gardner SESSEGNON published almost straight toward the center with a movie for the first time, but Vermaelen is in position to sweep. "My knowledge of the hamstrings is entirely based on unfounded assumptions," begins Ian Copestake, promising. "I do not understand how you can" go "or supplement (not in shape?) And be well again without invasive surgery that involves finding the end of a rubber band and reconnect somewhere in the leg. " All medical experts out there who can help? A doctor in the house? We will even accept the drunken ramblings of a charlatan barred, we are not picky.

28 min: Van Persie slipped a pass through the inside right channel Gervinho, who has a right button before requesting 'upper right corner of the edge of the area. Mignolet is just behind, and the palms of the effort behind a sharp corner.

29 min: the corner, Sunderland sweep the other end and win themselves on the left. Larsson hits a ball directly across the six yard box. Contact, and is a goal. Or a specific objective. Fortunately for Arsenal, everyone lacks balloon and sails off a goal kick from the other side.

31 min: Song Sunderland defense divided into two passes with a slide rule beautiful on the inside left. Van Persie seems clear in the region, but O'Shea gets a toenail to the ball before the attacker can take. Van Persie is coming, but does not claim a penalty. It was a beautiful football from Arsenal.

34 min: SESSEGNON continues a long walk through the inside right. He almost got the better of Djourou, but the Arsenal defender remains strong toes and the ball to his goalkeeper before the attacker can break clear. Here Ciaran McGowan with three observations for the price of one: "one need a" do not like it, "Wenger documentary style, 2 Although previous screens defensive Squillaci Maldini-esque Arsenal, arriving here is not complete. . me with confidence. 3. Walcott poses the same threat to the bank as it does when the "

36 minutes: Arsenal begin to ping the ball very well. They are gradually taking over. Sunderland did not get anywhere near the Arsenal box for a while. "I think Gervinho is the only player outside Fabianski Arsenal have not spent much time on the ground," JR exaggerated in Illinois, but not by much. "Weird. Also need to stop crying Arsenal players who played for Sunderland. Have you not noticed that the referee is? You can hit an opponent in the face and not carded by Webb, provided that it is the first part of the game. "

39 minutes: Djourou is booked for a cynical tug of Gardner, after left without being stolen by the midfielder for Sunderland the right wing. It would be a kick in a dangerous enough. "There are three types of hamstring strains, but all involve some type of tear in the muscle," writes David Konopka, in response to the doctor in 25 minutes Ian Copestake. "Grade I consists of tiny tears in muscle fibers in the muscle. Grade II tears involving partial tear of the muscle as a whole. In grade III, which are rare, involve a complete tear and separation of muscles. A single degree III tear usually requires surgical correction. In general, if the break does not mean much muscle, then the ends are close enough to heal. "So there you have it, Ian. Dr. Dave also whether you want to buy a liter of snake oil. A single ticket will cost $ 11.

40 mins: GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland
43 minutes:
Arsenal
shaken. SESSEGNON Met and rejects the right, but stopped short hand. You are on the way Arsenal try to run a free kick quickly, so Vermaelen barge arrives with a shoulder. Probably should have been a reserve, but the referee can not be bother to get their cards, Howard Webb, and all that.


44 min:

A cross looped into the Arsenal area on the right. In the post, head down to Colback McClean, who at close range, but a low angle hoicks directly into the side netting. Arsenal are now not only shocked, and are shaken and rolled.

Life on Earth

surprising, but not all good news. Our blogger on the advantages and disadvantages of digital textbooks and iBooks Apple Author

I'll admit something right now: I am a bit fan of Apple products. I have a MacBook, an iPhone and iPad 2 and always look forward to the next call to come out of Cupertino. When I heard the opening statement last week would involve an ad based on education, I was excited about everything - there was not much talk on the web around the idea of ??digital textbooks and I was intrigued by what the company had arrived.

For once, rumors on the Internet has done well. Apple announced two iBooks, digital textbooks and iBooks author. I searched the opening video on YouTube and it was a typical Apple promotional video: cheese and it comes with the ordinary, but certainly interesting and well done. My first thought was that this could change everything. Downloaded immediately life on Earth so I could see for myself.

So what a digital manual? Well, great, on the testimony of the LOE. Opening a source of inspiration to draw attention to the video is incredibly immersive. The content is excellent, with lots of text and images. There are more videos to watch, Keynote presentations and interactive quiz board at the end of the second chapter. It was certainly a rewarding experience and I wish I had one of these when I was in school many moons ago. Could digital textbooks will be the future?

many students do not like having to carry heavy stacks of books - in fact, sometimes do not like the way while keeping them at home! Digital textbooks are becoming a thing of the past. Students need only bring an iPad to school, something that many do it anyway in some schools.

Another big problem with the textbooks, as we all know is that they are often outdated as soon as printing, but the transition to digital would negate the need to continually buy latest information physical version of a text. With the latest technology from Apple, the manuals can be revised by updating iBooks. This should be a good thing.

For me, however, the most exciting part of this Announces Author iBooks. This service is available via the Mac App Store. It allows Mac users to create their own interactive books and submit them to the iBookstore or share them with other iPhone users. This could allow teachers the opportunity to create interactive systems of work for students to download, I thought, to create training resources immersion or customized textbooks from school in a fast and easy

Unfortunately, not all good news and there are some obvious drawbacks.


digital textbooks and workbooks created with iBooks author can be seen on the iPad. This could be a little short by Apple, mainly because the tablet is an inexpensive kit and no doubt many students and schools do not have the means. Schools are already struggling with their budgets and their cases will not be at the top of the list of things to buy. This can result in a technology gap between schools.

The second problem is the amount of disk space these books. Life on Earth is a download of about 1 GB and is only two chapters. The total volume can take up more than 16 GB iPhone. Not much good when you want to buy several textbooks
Finally, there is the matter with the consent of the author iBooks end-user license. This is an issue strong enough to discuss at length here and in itself is probably another blog for another day, but certainly you should read this article in 9to5mac.com. I do not know how I feel about this aspect of the announcement from Apple, but it is certainly causing some controversy.

League One promotion are not discouraged by the link of the fifth round at home to Premier League high flyers Harry Redknapp

rivals

At 2:00 p.m. Sunday, the last show of the Great American Circus Uncle Sam will start in Stevenage. During the last week, a large upper draped Stars and Stripes took the eyes of those who pass through the exhibition of Fairlands Valley and has been a playground for children in their mid-term break. As some enjoy an evening beyond the hope of their parents could directly across the street at Lamex Stadium, there is another screen where men are made to look like clowns.

for Tottenham was in town to play a fifth-round link of the FA Cup is sure to test the love of competition Stevenage. It's a special feeling started in 1998 when, as part of the Conference, held in Newcastle, then the last game for the Premier League title with a 1-1 draw in the fourth round, and improved after the opposition that defeated the same 3-1 in the third round of last season.

Hertfordshire

Harry Redknapp next in third place in the Premier League and considered by many as the strength of the most devastating attack in England. The bookmakers have 2-7 in the League by beating his rival and the other with the kickoff at the same time as the start of the circus, it may well be that Uncle Sam does not provide the best "non-action stop "in the city on Sunday.

It is fear that has gripped the guests. This, after all, is a club that has seen little success in recent years, winning the Blue Square Premier League in 2010 before finding a second promotion 12 months later, beating Torquay in League Two play-off final. Given that currently sit sixth in League One, who has just completed the double in third place, and with better resources, Sheffield Wednesday, perhaps not surprising that the visit of Spurs is considered by players of Stevenage as a opportunity rather than a test.

"Spurs are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the country, but there is no fear among us, not our mentality," said Chris Beardsley, top scorer in Stevenage this season with nine goals, including two from the second round 3-0 win at Stourbridge. "As a team, we have been together for over two and a half years now, and have proven ourselves in the big games, like against Newcastle last season and play-off final. So we know that are capable of. "

Stevenage last season, doubled Stoke City in the Premier League and has been little change in its direct approach, as Beardsley was compared with the Wimbledon Crazy Gang Westley and successor, Gary Smith, describing as "intransigent".

"In modern football, you tend to find computers that are not equipped as competitive as this group," Smith said 43-years. "There are good players here and when the opportunity arises to play good football. But, yes, we can say that we are an" up-and-a-'em fast, high-pressure side, and we will have to impose the [Tottenham]. If we do not become a very difficult 90 minutes for us. "


Smith arrived at Stevenage, in late January, after leading the Colorado Rapids in MLS title in 2010 and the play-off a year later. Before that, he also worked as a scout based in Spain for Arsenal. This is a rather exotic background for a man now in charge of a team that still has its roots in the minor leagues, but you can not deny his excitement about what is potentially coming. "The decision to return to England was taken after I spoke with President Stevenage [Phil Wallace] and I realized that the club is moving in the right direction," said Smith, whose father, Roger, Spurs was when the club won the double in 1961, after being raised a short distance from White Hart Lane. "When I came here a case of mixing with what was already happening and will not change too much. Everything is on the promotion and the other is a realistic ambition for us this season. "

Aa SKOLKOVO

facilities are designed to attract the best minds of science in Moscow, but warns investors to beware

Russia is planning a new revolution. Moscow has pinned its future on the transformation of 400 hectares (1.5 square miles) of permanent farmland 20 miles west of the Kremlin in a base camp for the next generation of Mark Zuckerbergs.

In 2015 these areas will become a desolate city of 35,000 with some of the research centers the most advanced in the world, if you believe that the plans of the Kremlin. This is Silikonnovaya Dolina. Silicon Valley in Russia

not a utopia, according to promotional materials given to British scientists, entrepreneurs and investors last week as part of an overall mission to stimulate interest in the Innovation Centre Skolkovo The preferred project President Dmitry Medvedev.

"We expect to continue to explore the moon and planets," said a brochure to promote Skolkovo Space Center, provided one of five "clusters" with him, biomedical science, the energy efficiency and nuclear technology.

Investors are promised tax cuts on corporate and personal. And the chance to meet Anna Chapman, the former spy and model underwear, which was given the task of attracting young talent to Skolkovo

Sergey Zhukov

, a cosmonaut who oversaw research in astrophysics and radiobiology aboard the Mir space station and now heads the cluster space, said that "not only allow thousands of people achieve their dreams of spaceflight. not contribute to accelerate the technological development of humanity. "

Space is a key element in Skolkovo, which is the goal of transforming ideas and achievements of Russian scientists in cash. While Russia is responsible for 40% of the space launches worldwide, is far behind the ability of NASA to make money. Production by the Russian space industry employee is now $ 14,800 (£ 9.348) per year, less than 33 times higher than in the U.S..

The center, which led to Sir Richard Branson on board, plans to launch a series of new satellites and a "new generation of carrier rockets to ensure low cost space transportation."

But now there is nothing, if Viktor Vekselberg, the oligarch to implement the project, he told potential investors that the foundation started and the project is completed on time.

oligarch, who made his billions in natural resources and has a stake in TNK-BP, the oil company owned by BP, told investors and British scientists at the Institute of Directors (IoD) in London last week that the project was part of an attempt by Russia to diversify beyond natural resources. "The time has come for the economy to a new area, one that no longer depend on natural resources," he said.
History
But Russian oil casts a long shadow. The largest Skolkovo agreement signed in London last week was an investment agreement of 9.3 million pounds with BP and Imperial College London to improve the efficiency of oil refineries. It is expected that the agreement will therefore late to build bridges after the raid last summer at the offices of BP in Moscow.

history of the Russian state to intervene in international affairs is likely to be the biggest obstacle in the development of Skolkovo. British hedge fund Hermitage was expelled and his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky died in prison after finding a $ 230 million fraud alleged by the police and tax officials.

flexible working culture of Denmark and wide, affordable child care, the proportion of mothers can return to work

"Never once thought about not returning to work after Martha," said Harris Miller Mette, kissing her 13-month-old daughter. "The only person I asked him if he thought leaving my job was a friend of English."

As staggers through the wood floor Marta ground Copenhagen Mette and her husband, Christian, ministry of 34 years, a lawyer for justice, adds: "I do not know anyone who is a mother living home, and no friends of my mother was right. Most women return to work after having children in Denmark. "

flexible hours culture means that Denmark Mette Christian or Martha can pick up 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.. Christian, 33, who is building a career as a freelance writer, said: "We need to spend much time with Martha's parents here are very involved in their children's lives Most men I know take about three months paternity license ... "

note that, while the two must work for economic reasons, which makes its configuration is the affordability of child care viable. In Denmark, families pay up to 25% of the cost of day care, people with low income or single parents who pay between nothing and 25% of the cost, with discounts for siblings. The government pays the difference.

When Holmgaard Maiken, 32, and his partner, Mads Buddig, 36, had a son Sylvester, now six, she was studying to be a special needs teacher. "I took lessons when I was a baby and he started kindergarten at one, when I had my first job. We do not have much money, we had a price below 700 crowns (£ 78) per month. It would have been difficult to manage if we had to pay more. "

The couple has two children. Meyer, two, attends the nursery and wildlife in the center of pre-school day care overlooking the harbor near his apartment in Copenhagen. Sitting at the kitchen table going into cinnamon rolls are baked, Mads, a graphic designer, explains how their income was affected by the economic downturn. "Now they pay about 4,000 crowns (£ 446) per month for both. With children at daycare, at least we can both work. We have friends who moved back to Denmark from the England two weeks ago and within six months. They are academics and concerned about the cost of child care. "

Mette and Maiken are not alone: ??Most women with children work in Denmark. Consequently, the country ranks fifth in the employment of women among the 34 countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Britain is 15.

cult TV drama The Danish policy

Borgen

, which describes the challenges faced, the first woman Prime Minister of Denmark, is one of the favorites to Westminster. But now, British politicians look to Denmark for more than entertainment. This is how the Danes hold her maternity leave and paternity leave, childcare and family policy that interests them.

two Labor and the coalition government is seeking ways to increase the number of women in the workplace as a means of stimulating long-term growth of the economy. Resolution Foundation, a group of experts, approximately one million women are "missing" in the labor force in the UK due to lack of funds for child care, parental leave and how unbalanced the tax credits and subsidies are not enough to encourage women to return to work.

Britain is one of the biggest investors in families in OECD countries, spending 3.6% of GDP on family benefits in 2007. Only Denmark and France spent more, by 3.7% each.

however, is how the money is spent that is under control. In terms of better outcomes, such as the ability to lift children out of poverty and increasing women's employment is Britain lagging behind the countries that spend less, such as Sweden and Finland. The Nordic countries tend to spend more on services to cash benefits for families. The UK does the opposite.

In the UK, 10% of state spending on family policy is intended to maternity and paternity leave, compared to 17% in Denmark. About 26% of expenditure in the UK is in kindergarten, compared to 49% in Denmark. The largest proportion of public spending on the family in the UK is tax credits, in 29%, compared to zero in Denmark.

The eye watering cost of childcare in the UK has become a barrier to employment for many women. An investigation by the Child Care Foundation found that a nursery place in England full time for a child under two costs an average of £ 193 per week. Prices in London and the South East are much higher. Child care funded by the State in the UK starts at three - or two for low-income families - and is limited to 15 hours per week

Parents in Britain spend on average one third of their household income net of child care, compared to an average of 13% in other major economies, according to OECD figures.

A recent study conducted by Save the Children found that the high cost of child care, and cuts in work tax credits and child tax credits, causing low fourth wages for parents to abandon their jobs. Always-paid professional women in Britain, as lawyers and accountants who use nannies, because they did not finish the job after nursery closed, complain that, after paying your nanny salary, taxes and social security contributions, they see little of their own after-tax profits.

all income spectrum, women who were out of the workforce are struggling to return to the effect of career breaks show that even a few years has a major impact on lifetime earnings and pension rights.

In the spotlight last Thursday Snorretoppen, young children, including son Mads and Maiken, Meyer - played in the sun in February. Inside, in rooms decorated with paintings of dragons and giraffes, another group participated in a gym. This is one of the most popular in the capital and scores of children on the waiting list.

No parent pays more than 25% of the cost - the equivalent of about £ 380 per month for one child in daycare (there are discounts for siblings), £ 250 per month for kindergarten and £ 160 per month for six to nine years after school.

In the UK women have more children, the worst employment rate compared to other countries. The female employment gap between England and the top five countries for women with a child is 12%, but among mothers with three or more children the gap in employment by 24%.

The low cost of child care, generous parental leave and the absence of a culture of long hours has been juggling a balance between work and family is as much a problem for many parents as mothers Danish family. There is also a widespread acceptance of high rates of income tax of around 50%.

An Internet company that offers to acquire a second language by translating web content highlights the complexity of effective teaching

Review

In Germany, popular tradition speaks of the funnel of Nuremberg, a device used to pay for language skills in the student's head, with little or no effort by the teacher or student.

The Guide

the hitchhiker in the galaxy, the novel by science fiction satirist Douglas Adams, Arthur Dent space tireless traveler was able to understand a foreign language by inserting a Babel Fish in your ear.

aa

Combining these two concepts and approach to the aspirations of an Internet project called Duolingo recently launched. Described by its creators as "the next chapter of" human calculation, the goal is to translate a lot of web content in a variety of languages, while at the same time, offer free classes for millions of users of the language. The logic is this: Over 1.2 million people learn a foreign language, while large sections of the site exists only in one language, usually English. Why not combine those two activities and create a online courses in which students text translation site as part of the learning experience?

Say you want to learn Spanish. The program gives you a quote from a website and asked to translate. If not, the system helps you understand the difficult elements, giving examples of "education" or translations of individual words. Then submit your translation and additional information with their peer group.

According to the inventors, a group of only 100,000 people could translate the whole Wikipedia in Spanish in five weeks and the final goal is to attract over 100 million users.

If this all sounds too good to be true, it is because it is.

developers believe they have addressed the crucial question of how students can produce publication-ready translations to work in a language with little or no knowledge. Inexperienced translators can see how other students have a particular text and evaluate the work of another, creating a translation powered by sheer force of numbers.

It is a technique known as "crowdsourcing," a term recently defined by the Web strategist Henk van Ess as "channeling the desire of experts to solve a problem and then freely share response with all the world. " In fact, this is not a new idea. In pre-Internet days, the Oxford English Dictionary has openly called for volunteers to index all the words in the English language and has received about six million shipments during a period of 70 years. Internet crowdsourcing also has a role to play in language teaching, as it is activated every time a part of teachers or students of a problem with other students or teachers through blogs or social networking sites. In the field of translation, these existing projects, too. Over the past 18 months or more since its international launch, Linguee, a bilingual dictionary and search engine of translation has accumulated over 100 million pairs of sentences in different languages. Unfortunately, the wealth does not guarantee the quality and although Linguee can serve as a reference point, the user rated notes include many questionable as inexperienced translators accidentally repeat the mistakes of others. Room for another term, has crowdcrunched. And I suspect Duolingo suffer the same fate.

From
Duolingo is a text-based system, it is reasonable to assume that all are available on the practice of vocabulary and make videos to promote the website states that devices such as flash cards will have an important role in the learning process. It's not a bad thing - in fact, there are lots of free vocabulary trainers out there already, including those operated by leo.org crowdsourcing and multilingual dictionaries as dict.cc -. It is not enough
aa

translation may play an important role in language learning, but a methodology specifically built around students in translation extracts decontextualized, reveals a vision of language learning, it is simplistic to extreme.


developers seem blissfully unaware of the fundamental principles of language teaching communication, second language acquisition and the dangers of adopting their peers instead of a teacher as the main model.

If you are under 26 or over 60 years, it is difficult to find affordable ways to see a show. Could ticket offers to help the rest of us to develop a habit to the theater?

I bought my tickets for The Ladykillers parents for Christmas. The seats were placed, the B line, not less. Maybe this seems like a gold-plated gift - the above prices are in denominations of £ 55 or £ 85 a head for a huge premium - but I had a secret weapon: the promotion annual discount industry ticket Get Into London Theatre (GILT), which allowed me to get a more reasonable price £ 35.

If I was buying for me, I could have been more likely to opt for a cheaper price DORE, ranging as low as 10 pounds. Only one problem, of course: from February 10, after six weeks, the promotion has ended for another year. For me and many others, it's back to bite the bullet and pay full price for tickets, or (more likely) offers rummage for discounted prices.

This, I think, why DORADO scheme - which has been running for 11 years - So Good: allows people to experience theater as a luxury, not as something that is needed jump through hoops to see, but as something that could be part of normal life - something that could become a passion. Like many others, who rarely went to the theater as a child because my family was not flush, and the occasional trip to Stratford with my GCSE English class was as far as it went. But in recent years thanks to the excellent work in the arts, I saw a lot of great theater - most often, grateful for free - and I developed a love scene that I "had before in my lives. Surely everyone should go see theater, and as regularly as other culturally enriching pastimes such as reading books or going to the movies, but for many, the theater is affordable -. or at least not a habit of affordable theater

If Suarez had escaped punishment, the good work campaigning against racism and the FA would have been in vain

The Football Association has made a massive favor to sport when Luis Suarez gave Liverpool a group of eight ban and fined £ 40,000 after being convicted of abusing the race Patrice Evra of Manchester United.

seems an eternity since the Uruguay striker Evra side in a 1-1 draw at Anfield on October 15. In fact, there were many inside and outside the black community who wondered why it took so long to reach a verdict. Many thought the incident might be swept under the rug. However, the complexity of this particular case means that every detail had to be ratified in order to reach a decision.

The penalty will be considered the last for many, but the federation has provided a deterrent to those in the game who feel it's okay to abuse any other professional, simply because of their color.

Bad tackles, offside and the referee's decisions are closely monitored during the long history of football. However, issues of race have often been ignored, as if they do not matter. It does and always will.

I wonder what the likes of FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, president and Wigan Dave Whelan - who both suggested that the mountains were a grain of sand - to say now

Suarez, who is a wonderful footballer, surely now understand that while it might be good to use the Spanish word

black

South America, the same thought does not work in the UK. Gus Poyet compatriot, the Brighton manager, you should also take note.


Liverpool, say they are surprised and disappointed by the verdict of the FA. This line of thinking is understandable, because they will lose a player who scores goals and creates. The club manager, Kenny Dalglish, had supported his player throughout the case. However, while support was understandable that ultimately proved to be moved. This incident took place during one of the biggest games of the club in the world. Watch the game at the time I could see he was deeply upset Evra, although he did not receive a false or reckless tackle the elbow. When suggestions came later that he had been racially abused, his anger seems to be explained.


Suarez not been allowed to get away with their crime. Evra says Suarez abused him at least 10 times, suggesting that man was intended to tarnish his Liverpool adversary in the most disgusting. To make matters worse, in his defense, including Suarez suggested that Evra is called "something that his teammates call him in Manchester."

We turn back to the inequality of the time of Oliver Twist

The U.S. economy is now almost three times larger than in the 1970s - and yet the typical working man is not a penny of this transforming growth on its payroll. In an unprecedented event in London last week, the Resolution Foundation brought together experts from both sides of the Atlantic to treat the great class war undeclared, who stole the workforce in the U.S. fruit the rapid growth of their work for so long. The British would do well to familiarize themselves with the history of contraction in 40 years, as there are signs of a cold start something similar here.

Aa public seminars

Lord Justice Leveson in the practices and ethics of the media are a vital part of their research

What is the Lord Justice Leveson up? The judge handling the phone-hacking provides a series of public seminars on the relationship between the press and the public. The right to search for evidence of internal rules in august institutions like the Guardian and the BBC? Or if limited, as some critics say, to investigate misconduct by the tabloid press and the police?

not go very far with it at the time. Well, the second part of the research Leveson - "as far as illegal or improper behavior to News International" - will have to wait until the police investigations and subsequent prosecutions. But there is no justification for suggesting that the first part of his research - in the culture, practices and ethics of the press - is simply a way to fill time. And he could not have excluded the "good guys" of his letters requesting news organizations on their standards and protocols for conducting investigations.

least one point of view, there is no good anyway. All media organizations in the privacy of individuals. In certain circumstances, which may be considered public. But who decides? How do you define "public interest"? And it is even capable of definition?

These are starting points of Leveson. We all agree that the public interest was for journalists to investigate how MPs spent their expenses, but not in the public interest to listen to phone messages Milly Dowler. But research is not likely to be impressed by those who say that the public interest can not be determined case by case. "You know when you see it" is essential to have a clear definition of rules work that the media should be judged.

Leveson

The third session is designed to start teaching Leveson and his team of advisers - none of which was tabloid journalist - in the "dark arts" of unlawful interception. Unlike the others, not in public - although I hope the Leveson report back to us at the time, at least on techniques that have been replaced by safer

Aa hope

Republican governor of Texas in danger of ruining his reputation for mixing politics and religion, critics warn

Rick Perry, a Republican contenders in the race for the White House in 2012, is under fire after a large demonstration organized evangelical Christian in a football stadium in Houston, Texas.

Although not yet officially declared his intention, Perry is second in some polls behind Mitt Romney, the prime candidate. But critics say he is risking his reputation as scheduled Saturday of prayer and fasting, said in response to the economic and moral crisis facing the country.

Perry, Texas governor, was accused of mixing politics and religion, and faced questions about the financing of the organization of the rally - which has been described as a "group hatred "by the monitors discrimination. Atheists sued unsuccessfully to have stopped the demonstration and participation Perry declared unconstitutional.

Perry, in a message inviting Christians to the event, said: "Today, America is in crisis, we have been plagued by debt, terrorism, and a host of natural disasters as a nation .. we must unite and ask Jesus to guide us through the struggles unprecedented, and thanks for the blessings of liberty that so richly enjoy. "

He added: "Some problems are beyond our power to solve, and according to the book of Joel, Chapter 2, this historical moment demands a historic response, therefore, the 6. August, thousands of people gather to pray for an historic breakthrough for our country and a renewed sense of moral purpose. "

He called on Christians to join him in the football stadium of 71,000 seats for rallies Reliant seven, "with people who pray for God's forgiveness, wisdom and provision of our state and nation. There is hope for America. He is in heaven, and we shall find their knees. "

It is to announce this month or next whether to seek the Republican nomination for president. He already has a campaign team in place and started playing to raise money.

If it holds, would probably become the leading candidate, provided that the act does not have to rely.

But the New York Times reported this week that only about 8,000 people had registered for the event. Perry invited all the governors of the country, but only one, Sam Brownback of Kansas, is an assistant. Sixty thousand empty seats could be seen as a humiliating rebuff.

Eric Bearse, a spokesman for the rally, told CNN that attendance was not a problem.

Channel 4 reported that a study published in The Lancet showed a new drug reduces the symptoms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Unfortunately, the study shows no such thing

The Channel 4 News, scientists have discovered a new treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. "A study in The Lancet shows a drug injected weekly for three months seems to have reduced symptoms," they say. "Although it is not a cure, but it seems to reduce symptoms."

Unfortunately, the study shows that there is no such thing. The gene for the manufacture of a damaged muscle protein dystrophin DMD patients. The Lancet article shows a new treatment led to some recovery in production of dystrophin in some children in a small open-label study.

This is not the same as symptoms improve. However, Channel 4 recalls its jurisprudence, the mother of two study participants. "I think for Jack ... maintained his mobility ... with Tom, there are certainly significant changes ... more energy, less tired."

When these positive stories come from? Unfortunately, come the release of Great Ormond Street Hospital press (which was in line based policy wonk Evan Harris). It summarizes the results of dystrophin with precision, but again, there is an anecdotal case study goes much further: "The whole family has noticed a marked difference in their quality of life and mobility during the We believe that this period has helped to extend the mobility and Jack. Tom was much less tired. "

Both were known to lower blood pressure, and people assumed it would also reduce the risk of real outcomes such as stroke and heart attack.

But patients in the doxazosin was found to have a

top risk of stroke, and cardiovascular problems than patients with chlorthalidone - despite the blood pressure lowering both - so much so that the trial was stopped early. Blood pressure, in this case was not a reliable result of substitution to evaluate the benefits of the drug in the real world results.
