"Irish alcoholism nature' reason for job rejection for Irish teacher in South Korea

A teacher from the Republic of Ireland has been turned down for a job in South Korea due to the "alcoholism nature" of Irish people.

Katie Mulrennan, from County Kerry, had applied for a teaching job in Seoul.
She was told by an agency that their client did not hire Irish people due to their perceived drinking habits.
The 26-year-old told the BBC that she could not believe the email was real at first.
"Usually when you apply for a job and they don't want you, they don't send a reply," she said.
"Or they tell you they would prefer someone from North America, because some schools prefer the accent.
"But this reply was a first. When I got the email, it was so abrupt and short. I actually laughed when I read it initially.
"But then I wanted to write back a really angry response.
"In the end I took a deep breath and sent back a reply, that was a little bit sarcastic as I couldn't believe the email I had received. But I haven't heard anything back since."

Can you write an e-mail in response to the one this teacher received telling her that she couldn´t work because of the drinking habits of Irish?(200 words)

Suspect arrested after photos of slain woman posted online

Oregon authorities have arrested a man accused of killing his girlfriend in Washington state and posting gruesome pictures of her body online.

David Michael Kalac, 33, was taken into custody near Portland late Wednesday by the Wilsonville Police Department.

He was wanted on suspicion of second-degree murder.

"Outside of a terrorist attack this is as serious as you can get," said Deputy Scott Wilson of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities first received a call Tuesday afternoon. When they arrived at the apartment in Port Orchard, Washington, they found the body of Amber Lynn Coplin, 30.

Around the same time, authorities started receiving tips about suspicious photographs posted online on social media sites Imgur and 4chan.

"The initial poster, believed to be Kalac, was also posting comments with the pictures. He said that the crime scene would be discovered and what he was going to do. We took this very seriously. We have no reason to believe that anyone posted them but him," the deputy said.

According to CNN affiliate KOMO, the statement read, in part: "Check the news for Port Orchard Washington in a few hours. Her son will be home from school soon. He'll find her, then call the cops. I just wanted to share the pics before they find me. I bought a BB gun that looks realistic enough. When they come, I'll pull it and it will be suicide by cop. I understand the doubts. Just check the (expletive) news. I have to lose my phone now."

KOMO reported the same writer later added: "Turns out its way harder to strangle someone to death than it looks on the movies. She fought so Damn hard."

Kalac has a history of domestic violence and making threats to law enforcement, Wilson said.

The victim's missing vehicle was found abandoned in Portland earlier in the day.

Red Bull Pays $13 Million In Class Action Lawsuit For Not Actually “Giving You Wings”

I want to meet the guy who guzzled a Red Bull, checked his watch after a few minutes and was like “Where the hell are my wings? This company is bullshit. I’m suing!”
For over 20 years, Red Bull has been lying to consumers by using the slogan “Red Bull gives you wings,” and now they’re paying $13 million dollars for not ACTUALLY giving you wings. Lucky for you, if you’ve bought a Red Bull even once in the last 12 years, you’re eligible for a $10 cash settlement, or (surprise, surprise) $15 worth of free Red Bull.
It all started when the Plaintiff, Benjamin Careathers claimed he had been drinking Red bull since 2002, but felt mislead by the brand’s slogan, which insinuates increased performance, concentration and reaction speed. The claim stated, “Such deceptive conduct and practices mean that (Red Bull’s) advertising and marketing is not just ‘puffery,’ but is instead deceptive and fraudulent and is therefore actionable.” News flash, dude: sugar will make you hyper, but you won’t turn into Superman. You won’t fly. In reality, you’ll probably get a sugar high and crash in a couple of hours.
In defense of their product and marketing tactics, Red Bull issued the following statement:

“Red Bull settled the lawsuit to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation. However, Red Bull maintains that its marketing and labeling have always been truthful and accurate, and denies any and all wrongdoing or liability.”

School year has started. English is not easy, you will have to study a lot, but to make it not so dull I would like to give you some tips to make it more fun:

Learning strategies

Learning strategies or study skills determine the approach for achieving the learning objectives. The strategies are usually tied to your needs and interests to enhance learning and are based on many types of learning styles.
Here are some strategies that can help you be successful in your studies.

Set small, achievable goals

Start with small steps to reach higher targets.

1. For example, try to learn 5 new English vocabulary items every day.
2. Set a 30 minutes study session every day.
3. Learn the lyrics of an English song every now and then.
4. Read a short English text every day.

Setting small targets is much better than setting huge goals that you cannot achieve. Remember that "small drops of water make the mighty ocean"

Plan your studies

Planning your studies gives meaning to your work. If you know all the steps necessary to achieve a goal and these steps are written down on a piece of paper, it will be easy for you, then, to see the whole picture.

Be motivated

The secret to success is that you should be motivated to learn. Try to avoid boredom by having fun in what you do. Try to find a positive aspect to studying English.

1. Read about what you are interested in (hobbies, fields of interest...)
2. Watch your favourite films in English
3. Listen to your favourite English songs and learn the lyrics.
4. Write your diary in English.
5. Read about your favorite stars in...

Remember, we learn better and fast things we really want to learn.

Manage your time

In order to manage your time successfully, having an awareness of what your goals are will assist you in prioritizing your activities. Time management provides you with the opportunity to create a schedule that works for you, not for others. This personal touch gives you the flexibility to include the things that are most important to you.

Set a reward for yourself

Set a reward for yourself that you can look forward to. For example, when you reach a goal, give yourself a reward:

1. Watch a movie.
2. have a delicious snack.
3. Meet your friends.
4. Go to the café.

Excitement in Brazil over World Cup stickers

12 May 2014

In Brazil completing the World Cup sticker album has become a popular past-time ahead of the first match in Sao Paulo on 12 June.
It takes 640 stickers to complete the album and Brazilians of all ages have been swapping with other collectors to achieve their goal.

The run-up to a World Cup is a time when children start collecting football stickers and cards. But there are also adults who get worryingly misty-eyed, including Ian Shoesmith.

I rip the packets of stickers open with all the excitement and anticipation of the 10-year-old boy that I used to be, and inhale their long-forgotten but oh-so-familiar odour of glue mixed with sticky tape and paper.
Instantly, I'm back in 1986 and my penultimate year at primary school, when the most important thing in my life was how an England squad featuring Gary Lineker, Peter Shilton and John Barnes would fare at the World Cup.
I am a 38-year-old father with a mortgage and a four-year-old son, Danny.
But my childhood passion - the thrill of racing to the paper shop, handing over all of my pocket money, desperate to be greeted by the mulleted head of a Soviet-bloc defender - is dismissed, out-of-hand, by my son. But I will persist in collecting them - for when he changes his mind. I'm most definitely not collecting them for myself. Definitely not.

World's best pizza not in Italy

Australian pizza is now officially the best in the world.

Well, sort of.

Judges at last weekend's Campionato Mondiale Della Pizza (Pizza World Championship) held in Parma, Italy, awarded the world's top margherita pizza title to Australian chef Johnny Di Francesco, owner of the 400 Gradi restaurant in Brunswick, a Melbourne suburb.

Di Francesco, 36, beat more than 600 competitors from 35 countries to take home the Specialita Traditionale Garantita pizza prize in the annual competition.

The win and subsequent publicity has made the small restaurant he owns in his hometown an overnight sensation.

"It's been an amazing reaction," Di Francesco tells CNN. "Honestly, I just went to Naples to do what I love. I didn't think it was going to make such a stir."

"A lot of people think it is easy to produce a margherita but it is one of the hardest (pizzas) to produce," Di Francesco told Australian website Good Food.

"With a lot of other pizzas it's easy to mask the flavor with toppings so you don't really get the flavor out of the dough. With a margherita there is no hiding anything that isn't right."

Competition rules are strict on what ingredients can top the dough on the margherita: only peeled tomatoes, certain types of mozzarella, garlic, olive oil, salt and fresh basil leaves are used.

Can you give us your pizza recipe? Please explain with detail. We are not master chefs...

Seville April Fair

The Seville Fair takes place just two weeks after Semana Santa, in a huge area in Los Remedios, to the south-west of the city, next to the river. This is a week of serious dancing, drinking, eating and socialising, with late nights - or all-nighters - the norm. The sheer size of the April Fair's spectacle is extraordinary. From around midday until early evening - especially on Tuesday, the first official day - Sevilla society parades around the fairground in carriages or on horseback. There are also daily bullfights , generally considered the best of the season.

What are casetas and what happens in them?
The "Real de la Feria", where the Feria takes place, covers 1.2 km2 and includes the amusement park, `called ´Calle de Infierno' (Hell Street), and the casetas, canvas tent pavillions of varying sizes arranged along 12 streets. Numbering over 1,000, they belong to eminent local families, groups of friends, businesses, clubs, trade associations and political parties. Most of the casetas are private and open only to members and their guests. If you have a Sevillano friend with a caseta, you could be lucky enough to receive a much-coveted invite. Alternatively, there are also seven public casetas - the "caseta municipal" and one for each of six districts of Seville.
Inside the tents the drinks begin to flow, and tapas are served, from around 1:30pm till early next morning. Each caseta is equipped with a bar, kitchen and sound system or live entertainment playing Sevillanas . This is the official genre of folk music in Seville, which has its own set dance. It's worth taking a few classes before the Feria so you don't have to be a wallflower.
As a non-native, pay attention to how the authentic "Sevillanos" (natives of Seville) pace themselves in order to make it full-force right through to the end. Also, a little effort goes a long way - whatever your level of Spanish, make sure you use it (again, why not brush up a little before going, by taking some classes). You´re a guest at their party, so express your appreciation by joining in!

'Friendly' drone on dog leash takes off

Drones are becoming more common in our skies, performing a variety of tasks, from taking photos to monitoring crops and potentially even delivering broadband.

But there are strict rules about their usage, which has led some to come up with innovative ways to fly such vehicles more safely.

"I'm using a dog leash for a small dog," says roboticist Sergei Lupashin as he demonstrates a new kind of consumer-friendly drone at the Ted (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Vancouver.

By tethering it, he hopes the Fotokite, as it is called, can avoid some of the issues faced by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are banned without a special licence because of safety and privacy concerns.

"It doesn't rely on GPS [ Global Positioning System], sophisticated machine vision, radio, it doesn't even use a compass. Most crashes today happen because of GPS, radio or piloting issues," says Dr Lupashin.

"Should something happen, the leash gives a robust fail safe - the vehicle reduces thrust and it automatically comes back to the operator," he adds.

The inspiration for the device came during street protests in Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, when he realised it could be an invaluable tool for reporting protests around the world.

"For journalists it is good to get that perspective, to show the scale of the event without adding to the tension," says Dr Lupashin.

But he also sees potential for amateur and professional photographers, archaeologists, architects and even as a toy for children.

His prototype device uses a shop-bought quadrocopter with "a basic action camera attached" which, in turn, is connected to a standard dog lead. It can shoot both video and stills.

'Game of Thrones': Who did it?

Fresh on the heels of the infamous Red Wedding, Sunday's "Game of Thrones" served up more murderous matrimony. But, with what fans have dubbed the "Purple Wedding," many of us finally got something we'd been hoping for since season one.

'Thrones' is back: 'All men must die'

The future of "Game of Thrones"

Sex, dragons fuel new 'Thrones' tease

As the loathsome King Joffrey lay on the ground doing his best impersonation of Violet Beauregarde from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," one question sprung to mind after the obligatory high fives: Who did it?

Certainly there is no shortage of folks who would have loved to off the sadistic, smug boy king. Here, we run down some of the key suspects and why they may have been behind the deadly deed. Let us know your theory in the comments (and, book readers, no spoilers, please!)

Tyrion

He's obviously Cersei's top suspect. And it's not like he doesn't have reasons.

There was no love lost between Tyrion and his nephew (remember the much-celebrated slap?) even before Joffrey went out of his way to humiliate him repeatedly, both before and after the wedding.

Slicing up his gift of a rare and priceless book? Check. Wine on the head? Check. Trying to force him into a humiliating performance at the feast? Check.

Was it all just too much for Tyrion? Not hard to imagine.

Sansa

And then there's Tyrion's wife. Joffrey was responsible for the deaths of her father, mother and brother. And that's on top of having her publicly beaten and tossing her aside for a more politically useful marriage. (Not that she wanted anything to do with him by that point.)

Sansa may be as close to an innocent as still exists in King's Landing. But what better time than Joffrey's wedding day to exact some revenge?

Oberyn Martell

"The Lannisters aren't the only ones who pay their debts."

When the Martells sent fiery warrior Oberyn to the wedding in place of his brother, Prince Doran, it was a not-so-subtle hint that they haven't forgotten, or forgiven, that Oberyn's sister, Elia, was raped and killed by Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, who serves the Lannisters.

It only took hearing a Lannister song, "The Rains of Castamere," to send Oberyn into an anti-Lannister stabbing fit at a brothel. Was murdering Joffrey his plan all along?

The Tyrells

'Game of Thrones' fans freak out

Comic-Con: "Game Of Thrones" Cast

Comic-Con: GOT's Kit Harington

'Game of Thrones' fans freak out

The wedding was over. Margaery was a queen. But Margaery and the rest of the Tyrell family, particularly Margaery's grandmother Olenna, had no doubts about what a rotten little bastard (literally) Joffrey was.

It's possible they've concocted a scheme to off Joffrey, but still press their claim for the Iron Throne now that Margaery has a crown on her head.

Stannis and Melisandre

As Jaime told Joffrey, the war is not over.

We assume Joffrey's transition to a lovely shade of purple was due to poisoning. But could it have been more dark magic from the Red Priestess instead?

It's easy to focus on the people who were at the wedding. But we've already seen what Melisandre can do to a foe without having to be in his presence. Could this have been an otherworldly announcement that Stannis is down, but not out?

Somebody else?

Seriously, who doesn't have one reason or another to want Joffrey dead?

Lord Varys isn't called "The Spider" for nothing. He's sneaky, as well as professing to be the only person in Westeros who truly wants what's best for the kingdom. He could have decided that's not Joffrey.

Knight-turned-fool Ser Dontos was obviously up to something. Was this part of a plan to save Sansa and avenge his humbling by Joffrey?

It's hard to imagine how Daenerys could have played a part from across the Narrow Sea. But could someone loyal to the Targaryens have made a move to weaken the Lannisters' hold on the throne?

We can presume it will all become clear in time. Meanwhile, we'll make a mental note to never, ever, accept a wedding invitation in Westeros.

What Not To Say In A Job Interview

Setting yourself apart from the crowd is vital when you are looking for that new job. This applies for all stages of the recruitment process - you want to ensure that your CV is at the top of a recruiter or hiring manager’s pile, and that your interview shows you in the best possible light.
People looking to fill a role will be looking for that something special which sets the very best candidates apart. To give yourself the best opportunity, here are some very common mistakes and phrases which you should try to avoid in those all-important interviews

I don’t know
Interviewers will be looking to stretch and challenge candidates during the course of the recruitment process. The best way of dealing with the tough questions is to do your homework. The importance of research cannot be understated – you should know about the company, and be prepared for anything you will be asked about your own CV. Of course if there is a question which you are not expected to know the answer to, or if you are genuinely stuck, don't make things up or try to bluff your way through. Move back into your comfort zone, relate the question back to something you do know and take on board any new information you are given. But as I said, proper planning and preparation is essential.

What’s the salary?
The salary is always a tough point to discuss with a new employer, especially at the interview stage. There is a time and place to bring it up, and the first interview isn't always the right one. At the same time, you don’t want to get too far down the process and not know what the salary is. Initially you should have a good indication of the remuneration from the job description. The chances are that the interviewer themselves will ask you what sort of salary you are looking for - this gives you the opportunity to talk about it and negotiate the best deal for you.

How many holidays do I get?
Companies are on the look-out for people that are motivated and willing to put in the necessary effort. They want staff to be ambitious, driven self-starters, not people who are just looking for an easy life. If you want a fulfilling career and the rewards that tend to come with that, then you have to be prepared to go that extra mile. Of course you are perfectly entitled to perks, but try to avoid talking about things like holiday entitlement straight away, because it can give off the wrong impression.

I dislike my current company
You never want to turn the tone of the interview negative, even if you may be having a bad experience at your current job. All this does is make you seem like somebody who is difficult to manage. If asked why you are leaving, focus more on your ambitions for the future and what excites you about the job you are applying for.

I don’t have any questions
I have written before about candidates needing to ask questions themselves in interviews. You want to show prospective employers how keen you are to get the role. The research you have done may have thrown up some interesting facts that you can ask about, or you may want to know about the scope for personal development. You may also wish to get some more information about your role or the working culture – either way it is important that the interview process is not one sided.

To Use, Or Not To Use The Cane

There were tempers flaring in the home of Demola Lewis, his parents threatening a police arrest, when he returned home from school with bruises gotten from a teacher’s cane recently. Demola, 14, a Junior Secondary three student of Government High School, Ipetumodu, told his parents he got beaten by his teacher for engaging in a fight with another student.
But for his father, Mr Lewis, no offence should warrant the extent of beating gotten from his teacher which was evident from the bruises on his son’s body. “I am not saying they should not correct my child, but this is too much,” he complained. “I don’t even beat my son to the extent of giving him bruises on his body so what right does a teacher have to beat my son like that?”
An outdated practice?
The use of a cane as a means of correcting or instilling discipline in a child by teachers and school administrators has been a topic of debate among several interest groups more than a few times. While many would say the choice of using a cane should be left for the parents or guardians alone, others say a cane should not be used either at home or in school for any reason.
Several people still fall under the school of thought that if you spare the rod, you end up spoiling the child. For them, a cane can be used by any older or matured person, in school or at home, to correct a child immediately so that he would not repeat the same wrong doing again.
Among the latter group who believe in the cane comes the question – to what extent should the cane be used in schools?
In most private schools in Nigeria today, the use of a cane has been completely abolished, forbidden some would say. For some of these schools, the adopted British or American curriculum being used to train the students does not conform with the use of a cane. Others have stopped using it or decided not to use it as a result of decisions made by the parents or school administration. The cane is mostly being used, however in scanty measures, by public school teachers today.
Schools without canes
Belinda Amao, the Head Teacher of Chrisland School, Ikeja, while speaking about the use of cane at a school function recently, said it was stopped because the management realised that it affects the relationship between the teacher and the students negatively.
“We realised that when a teacher uses the cane on a child, the child becomes withdrawn and would not be able to approach the teacher when he or she has problems with studies,” she said. “This could affect the child’s performance.”
At Bright Stars International School, Apapa, the use of cane was stopped after an unanimous decision was reached by the parents during one of the Parents Teacher’s Association meetings. “All the parents said they would prefer if the teachers stopped using the cane, so we had to oblige,” said Patricia Chukwuemeka, Head Mistress of the school.
Breaking the law
In 2011, the Lagos State Government passed a legislation which outlawed the caning, beating or physical torture of school students. The provision of the law stated that striking any adult person with a stick or other weapon constitutes a violent criminal offence statutorily classified as Felony Assault and Battery, for which jail sentences can be imposed after a fair trial, under Nigerian law.
However, Ajoke Osoba, an English teacher at Oshodi Senior High School, Oshodi, is one woman who doesn’t agree with the law. “I don’t beat them because I hate them, I beat them to discipline them just like I beat my own children and it always works,” she said, adding that she only beats her students on the palm and no other part of the body.
The parents’ view on the use of the cane is just as varied.
Caroline Paul, a mother of two said she has never used a cane on any of her children and would never allow a teacher beat her children with a cane. “One of the things I asked when I was looking for a school for my children is whether they use cane on the students,” she recalled. “I don’t believe in the cane and I was not brought up with it. There are other ways of disciplining a child.”
Tomisin Bakare, another mother believes the cane should only be used at home and not in school because “teachers can sometimes get too overzealous.”
But Taiwo Oyedele, a counselor and director of Children In Leadership Foundation, says that most Nigerian parents today are being misled by the Western culture. For him, you cannot use western methods to train an African child or African methods to train a western child.
“Most parents are just deceiving themselves these days,” he said. “What works abroad might not necessarily work here. I don’t believe a cane should be used at school but it should be used at home. A child who is not properly trained according to the dictates of the society in which he grows up would always misbehave later in life.”

Seriously!!!!!!

I can´t believe it!!!!!

Male university students in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un, it is reported.

The state-sanctioned guideline was introduced in the capital Pyongyang about two weeks ago, Radio Free Asia reports. It is now being rolled out across the country - although some people have expressed reservations about getting the look.

"Our leader's haircut is very particular, if you will," one source tells Radio Free Asia. "It doesn't always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes." Meanwhile, a North Korean now living in China says the look is actually unpopular at home because people think it resembles Chinese smugglers. "Until the mid-2000s, we called it the 'Chinese smuggler haircut'," the Korea Times reports.

It seems that haircuts have been state-approved in North Korea for some time - until now people were reportedly only allowed to choose from 18 styles for women and 10 for men. Earlier, North Korea's state TV launched a campaign against long hair, called "Let us trim our hair in accordance with the Socialist lifestyle".

However, there are conflicting reports over the haircut mandate, with the NK News website reporting that recent visitors to Pyongyang did not notice a change in hair styles.

Late leader Kim Jong-il, who ruled North Korea for 17 years, sported a bouffant hairstyle, reportedly in order to look taller.

Born	Bessie Wallis Warfield (1896-06-19)19 June 1896[1] Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania
Died	24 April 1986(1986-04-24) (aged 89) Bois de Boulogne, Paris

Wallis, Duchess of Windsor (previously Wallis Simpson and Wallis Spencer, born Bessie Wallis Warfield; 19 June 1896^[1] – 24 April 1986) was an American socialite. Her third husband, Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII, abdicated his throne to marry her.
Wallis's father died shortly after her birth, and she and her widowed mother were partly supported by their wealthier relatives. Her first marriage, to U.S. naval officer Win Spencer, was punctuated with periods of separation and eventually ended in divorce. In 1934, during her second marriage to Ernest Simpson, she allegedly became the mistress of Edward, Prince of Wales.^[2] Two years later, after Edward's accession as king, Wallis divorced her second husband in preparation to marry Edward.
The King's desire to marry a woman who had two living ex-husbands threatened to cause a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom and the Dominions, and ultimately led to his abdication in December 1936 to marry "the woman I love".^[3] After the abdication, the former king was created Duke of Windsor by his brother and successor, King George VI. Edward married Wallis six months later, after which she was formally known as the Duchess of Windsor, without the style "Her Royal Highness". She was instead styled as "Her Grace", a style normally reserved only for non-royal dukes and duchesses.
Before, during, and after World War II, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were suspected by many in government and society of being Nazi sympathisers. In the 1950s and 1960s, she and the Duke shuttled between Europe and the United States, living a life of leisure as society celebrities. After the Duke's death in 1972, the Duchess lived in seclusion, and was rarely seen in public. Her private life has been a source of much speculation, and she remains a controversial figure in British history.
