Epilepsy Foundation YouTube punishes Logan Paul over Japan suicide video Media playback is unsupported on your device YouTube has cut some business ties with Logan Paul, the hugely popular vlogger who posted a video showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan. Paul's channels were removed from YouTube's Google Preferred programme, where brands sell ads on the platform's top 5% of content creators. YouTube also said it had put on hold original projects with the US vlogger. Paul posted the video with a man's body on 31 December, triggering widespread criticism. What is YouTube punishing Logan Paul for? The video showed Paul and his friends at the Aokigahara forest at the base of Mount Fuji, known to be a frequent site of suicides. Going in to film the "haunted" forest, they come across a man's body and are shocked but also make jokes. The identity of the deceased man is not known. Paul later posted an apology on Twitter, saying he had been "misguided by shock and awe". Image copyright YOUTUBE/Logan Paul "I'm ashamed of myself," he added.

Crime and Punishment: Some Engaging Classroom Activities I am not a big fan of watching TV. I find most programmes dull and very often uninteresting. However, one of the very first things I do as soon as I wake up (this, of course after my first cup of coffee) is to watch the news. However, lately, I have been considering skipping them. Is it me or do you have the impression that the news is filled with disaster and corruption? How can you be expected to rise and shine when the world is going crazy, when all the stories in the news are about crimes and criminals? Anyway, please excuse my rambling and let me share with you some of the activities I have designed to help my students learn and practise vocabulary related to crime in a series of engaging speaking activities. Using grass skirts. Preparation: Choose a number of crimes and write them down. Procedure: Point to the posters on the walls of the class.Tell students they will have about 10 minutes to make up a funny crime story. Using a Feedback Tool to play a game to revise vocabulary.

Le dossier du Cnesco comprend : les recommandations du jury de la conférence ; quatre rapports scientifiques d’évaluation (sur les acquis des élèves, sur les langues dès le plus jeune âge, sur l’apprentissage des langues, sur l’enseignement des langues) ainsi que les présentations des experts de la conférence (sous forme de notes, diaporamas et vidéos). En 2016, les élèves français ont, globalement, de bons résultats en compréhension de l’écrit d’une langue étrangère. Ils progressent ainsi par rapport à 2010 au primaire comme au collège, tout comme en compréhension de l’oral.
