via Facebook... "You need four things to learn a language. First, you have to use it. Second, you have to use it for a purpose. Research shows that doing something while learning a language—preparing a cooking demonstration, creating an art project, putting on a play—stimulates an exchange of meaning that goes beyond using the language for the sake of learning it. Third, you have to use the language in context. This is where Geisler says all programs have fallen short. “A lot of people think that learning with authentic materials”—audio or video in which native speakers are speaking naturally, without a script—“is just a gimmick. But what you will get out of it is all the nonlinguistic cues that you get in a real language-speaking situation. If you are in a doctor’s office, you know what they are saying due in large part to visual and audio clues, not linguistic clues.” Fourth, you have to use language in interaction with others."

via Facebook... Justice system? " When McCollum left death row and Brown left Maury Correctional Institution, prison officials gave each of them $45 in cash. That $90 is the only help they’ve received from the state of North Carolina. .... In January, the water in the house was turned off because the bill went unpaid. One defense lawyer paid rent for January. In North Carolina, people found innocent after a conviction are eligible for $50,000 for every year spent incarcerated, up to a maximum of $750,000. Because they were freed by a judge, and not the Innocence Inquiry Commission, McCollum and Brown need a gubernatorial pardon of innocence to collect their compensation. On Sept. 4, Gov. Pat McCrory said he looked forward to reviewing their joint pardon application. It was submitted Sept. 11. The governor has taken no public action on the case since."
