Top 10 Ways to Make Yourself Look (and Be) Smarter. How terribly obnoxious of you. Thanks for sharing. Well, it is probably not the smartest move ever to call monolingual people dumb. But here in Europe (or at least in most countries) learning a second language is compulsory in secondary school. Therefore not speaking a second language often goes along with a lack of general education, probably leading roelroelroel to this bovine conclusion.
People in Europe need only travel a few hours to encounter another language, and bi- and tri-linguality is essential to business and communication there. North America is an enormous landmass containing (aside from reservations, ethnic enclaves, first-gen immigrant groups, and other outliers) three widely-used languages, one of which (French) is still only used in a relatively small portion of the continent. Bilinguality is, for most people in North America, a non-essential skill. Also, way to be a dick. Yes, I realize that's the norm in Europe, where there's an international border every 50 miles.

It’s a crazy situation: Conservative-minded Americans – people who a generation ago were part of the “Reagan Revolution,” and today might identify with the “tea party” – are caught up in not just one, but two civil wars. The first conflict everyone knows about: America is more polarized today than at any time in the last century. Arrayed on one side are the forces for limited government, free-market capitalism and traditional morality, people who believe less government means more freedom, and that the “American Dream” depends primarily on self-governing, moral and religious people.

Rebekah Wade was 20 years old in 1988 when she showed up at the Warrington office of The Post, a now defunct national tabloid. As Graham Ball, then the features editor, recalled to the BBC, she approached him and said, “I am going to come and work with you on the features desk as the features secretary or administrator.”
He told her that would be impossible, as he was moving the next week to work in the paper’s London office. On the following Monday, he showed up at his new London office “and there she was.” As another editor recalled, she was a “skinny, hollow-eyed” young woman, who was “very, very, very ambitious,” and prepared to go to great lengths “to get on.” In 1989, after The Post folded, Wade got a job as a secretary at the News of the World. Paul McMullan first met Wade in 1994, when she was still features editor. McMullan says that Wade knew about the use of private investigators—“Impossible not to,” he says. “She was quite sweet in those days,” says McMullan. Coastal by Glenn Reeves on Prezi.

This is a guest post by Toby Lanzer, the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General for South Sudan (Juba, South Sudan) — As the conflict in South Sudan reached its 100th day, images of death, destruction and displacement in the world’s newest nation continued to dominate the image of the country.
The fighting between government and opposition forces has driven a million people from their homes, including about 70,000 who are sheltering in UN peacekeeping bases. We know the situation will worsen with the onset of the rainy season; seven million people are facing the risk of hunger. On April 12, in Washington, DC, USAID, UN humanitarian partners and the European Union will once again focus attention on the crisis, calling for an end to the fighting and urging the international community to continue to fund urgent needs there.
Alan Jones « you said it… Megan Levy Breaking news reporter Broadcaster Alan Jones is facing an online backlash after suggesting on national television that “left-wing radical students” were behind the Boston Marathon bombings and that Australia should reconsider its intake of foreign university students in response. Really, you just said that Alan Jones? I have no words… In a segment on Channel Seven’s Sunrise on Wednesday morning, the controversial 2GB host said Boston was a student city home to prestigious institutions such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and suggested that students could be the culprits. Controversial comments: Alan Jones appears on Sunrise on Wednesday morning.
That is despite US authorities saying they do not have any suspects in the case and they do not know who is responsible for the blasts. Alan Jones: “We’re very keen to have foreign students pay the way of universities in this country without a lot of discernment about who comes in.” Source. Mike Carlton on the Alan Jones bio/ABC : Mess+Noise. From the Crikey newsletter: In an edited extract from his on-air editorial this morning, 2UE broadcaster Mike Carlton writes: Time to ask some searching questions, I think. Why has the ABC suddenly decided NOT to publish Jonestown, the biography of Alan Jones, written by the Four Corners reporter Chris Masters? Are they scared that Jones is a powerful figure with powerful friends? But the big question is: what is there to hide? By any standard it's a fascinating story. Or is it that Jonestown alleges that Alan Jones is gay or has had gay relationships? So is that why the ABC Board has tried to stop the book? Alan Jones, 2GB and shares.
The public might wonder why Alan Jones can get away with increasingly outrageous comments — but with this many share options, and that many listeners, it’s hard to get the Parrot to stop screeching. Politicians are railing against him, social media is in meltdown and advertisers are pulling their spending. Yet, despite his insensitive comments about Julia Gillard’s father to the Sydney University Liberal Club, Alan Jones’ status as the king of talkback seems as assured as ever.
As Crikey hit deadline this morning, over 17,000 people had signed a change.org petition calling for 2GB to terminate Jones’ contract immediately. Yet that’s an unlikely — almost impossible — proposition for several reasons. If any Australian media personality is unsackable, it’s Alan Jones. Firstly, Jones is more than just an employee of the Macquarie Radio Network, which owns 2GB. Then there’s the Parrot’s contribution to the station’s profits. 100 Websites You Should Know and Use. In the spring of 2007, Julius Wiedemann, editor in charge at Taschen GmbH, gave a legendary TED University talk: an ultra-fast-moving ride through the “100 websites you should know and use.” Six years later, it remains one of the most viewed TED blog posts ever.

Browse:Home/Media Circus: Fauxpology Edition By tigtog on October 1, 2012 I’m sure there’s a transcript somewhere of the most disgraceful fauxpology ever offered up by an oxygen thief, but I’m not linking to it in this post. Reading commentary on Twitter yesterday was enough. Pinkelstien does, however, have a review of his decades of disgracefulness.Apparently some sport things happened over the weekend. As usual for media circus threads, please share your bouquets and brickbats for particular items in the mass media, or highlight cogent analysis elsewhere, on any current sociopolitical issue. Alan jones « Bipolar Bear. I guess Alan Jones father felt a similar sort of shame after the London 'incident'.... : mrpford.
Bipolar Bear. Alan Jones and the Oedipussy Complex. Alan Jones' hatred for women would seem to be pathological and Oedipal in origin, writes contributing editor-at-large Tess Lawrence. IT MUST repulse Alan Jones to think he exited his mother's body via her cunt, the female coital organ and entry point by which he was both conceived and expunged. Clearly, any quarrel with her remains unforgiven. The hatred he has for women would seem to be pathological and Oedipal in origin. Wikipedia, has an interesting explanation of the Oedipus Complex, the Freudian term appropriated from the myth in which Oedipus murdered his father and wed his own mother, Queen Jocasta of Thebes.
In part it reads: Sigmund Freud, who coined the term "Oedipus complex" believed that the Oedipus complex is a desire for the mother in both sexes (he believed that girls have a homosexual attraction towards their mother); Freud deprecated the term "Electra complex", a term which was introduced by Carl Gustav Jung. It is an insult to crow. Instead, the Sunday Tele reports: The villainy of Alan Jones exposed. David Marr, who has this thing about asylum seekers, reports on the misdeeds of “shock-jock” Alan Jones: Mr Jones lobbied the minister on behalf of a Thai child assessed in Bangkok as borderline retarded; Lebanese and Iraqi Australians with new wives to rush home; an old rugby league star wanting to be reunited with his fiancee, a Polish scientist held up in Warsaw ("Is there deliberate discrimination against Poles?
") and many more. Can you believe this monster Jones, doing a reverse-Alvarez and trying to get a damaged person into Australia rather than kicked out of it? I look forward to David’s next report on the revelations in Chris Master’s biography, especially all those wink-winks about Jones being both gay and once a teacher. Some typical passages from Masters (who admits he has no proof of the abuse he seems to have so eagerly sought): There were continued late-night excursions [of students] to Jones’ room ...
Here’s the sick joke. Alan Jones (radio broadcaster) Alan Belford Jones AO (born 13 April 1941, or possibly 1942 or 1943[1][2]) is an Australian radio broadcaster. He is a former coach of the Australian National Rugby Union Team and rugby league coach and administrator. He has worked as a school teacher, a speech writer in the office of the Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, and in musical theatre. He has a Bachelor of Arts from Queensland University, and completed a one-year teaching diploma at Worcester College, Oxford. He has received civil and industry awards.
Jones hosts a popular Sydney breakfast radio program, on radio station 2GB. Early life Jones was born to farmer and coal miner Charlie Thomas (1906–90) and former school teacher Elizabeth 'Beth' (née Belford) (1906–82). After leaving school, Jones trained as a teacher at the Kelvin Grove Teachers College (now part of the Queensland University of Technology) in Brisbane.
In 1970, Jones was appointed Senior English Master at The King's School, Parramatta in Sydney. Health issues Union. A journalist's great shame exposed - Opinion - smh.com.au. WHEN Alan Jones returns from London, probably today, you can bet he won't be talking publicly about Chris Masters's lurid, sex-obsessed biography, Jonestown.
Before attending the West End premiere of the Australian-produced musical Dirty Dancing on Tuesday, Jones asked his friend and 2GB program director John Brennan, "please don't do any more" to defend him against the book's allegations about his sexuality. "Let's not fuel the fire. " Brennan said yesterday the 2GB breakfast presenter was "as tough as teak", had been enjoying his time in London and had nothing more to say. But another friend who has been in contact with Jones this week says he is "absolutely devastated". The Four Corners journalist maintains the biography is "fair" and critics haven't read it. But with its publication this week Masters's great shame, too, has been exposed.
Jones, an agnostic, has never been a morals campaigner. But no one said he had to avoid it. You would think gay men would be horrified. Chris Masters: Book critics silent about Jones's many scandals.
