Sagging Pants Banned In US Town
Like other New Jersey shore towns, Wildwood is trying attract visitors after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the region in October. It just doesn't want to see their underwear. The Cape May County municipality has banned sagging pants on its boardwalk in hopes of making the resort community more family-friendly. Those caught with trousers that sink 3 inches below the hips, exposing either underwear or bare skin, are subject to fines of as much as $200 and 40 hours of community service. The ordinance also prohibits bare feet and shirtlessness after 8pm. "I'm not the fashion police and I do realize there are societal changes," Mayor Ernest Troiano said in an interview. Sagging, as the trend is called, began in prisons and spread via hip-hop artists to a wider audience of teenagers in the 1990s. Sandy struck October 29, wreaking havoc along the shore from Belmar in the north to the mansions of Mantoloking and south to Atlantic City. 'Do Something' Not Fake Thug Life About Decency Bloomberg
Formativa arbetssätt för engelskundervisningen
Jag samlar länkar för att utmana mig själv i det formativa arbetssättet och för att variera undervisningen och hitta rätt inlärningsstil för eleverna. Jag såg att vi är fler som vill utmana oss i det på blogghubben. Här kommer ett litet bidrag med de länkar eller arbetssätt jag just för tillfället kan bidra med. Nedan har jag kategoriserat mina länktips efter rubrikerna muntligt (gäller både tala och samtala), skriftligt, lyssna, och läsa, men även grammatik och ordinlärning då det är centralt i språkinlärningen, samt övrigt: Muntligt För muntligt kan man testa Mystery Skype, Silent viewing eller att spela in sig själv på diverse program på datorn är kul, som Quicktime eller iMovie om man har tillgång till surfplattor. Här finns ett inlägg om att göra egna podcasts. Skriftligt Lyssna Att lyssna på olika nyhetsinslag är bra och gärna ihop med en text och då vid andra lyssningen om man ska följa lyssnarstrategierna. Läsa Läsning kan du också arbeta med online. Grammatik och ord Övrigt

Belfast riots: 56 police officers injured during parade protests
10 August 2013Last updated at 11:53 ET Northern Ireland Chief Constable Matt Baggott condemned the rioters. The number of police officers injured during loyalist protests against a republican parade in central Belfast is 56. The police fired 26 plastic bullets and made eight arrests on Friday evening amid sustained rioting in Royal Avenue. Northern Ireland's Chief Constable Matt Baggott described the violence as "mindless anarchy" and "thuggery". He praised his officers, saying they had put their lives on the line to protect the rule of law. "I want to, as ever, commend my colleagues for their immense courage last night. Officers hospitalised He added that those who attacked police had "no intention of peaceful protest". Bricks and fireworks were thrown at officers, and they were also attacked with scaffolding poles and paving stones ripped from the city's streets. A PSNI spokeswoman said four of the injured officers needed hospital treatment and one of them remained in hospital. Shops damaged
