B4Bers, We deserve a Break!

Dear B4Bers,

After 3 weeks of hard work, we surely deserve a 5-minute break. Here is a video about computer jargon.
As a teacher trying to integrate technology in my teaching, I surely recognize myself in this show.
But remember, laughter is the best medicine.
Enjoy it.

Dear B4Bs, Take a tour around Tetuan.

TETUAN

THE WHITE DOVE

A lovely white Andalusian city set upon the Mediterranean Sea near Tangier, Tetuan traces its origins back to the 3rd century B.C. Then it was a settlement called Tamouda which existed until 42 A. D.. when it was destroyed by Roman armies.

When the Merinid sultan Abu Thabit constructed a kasbah at Tetuan in 1307, the Muslim city began to find its form. However, as a refuge for Barbary pirates, Tetuan drew the wrath of the Castilian king Henry III whose forces overran the city and sacked it in 1399.
For a century thereafter, Tetuan went into a period of decline until coming under the Andalusian influence of refugees from Granada. From 1484 the city took on some of the rich architectural and cultural character of Muslim Spain, traces of which can still be seen today.
In 1913 Tetuan became the capital of Spain's protectorate until independence in 1956.

Located in an agricultural area, modern Tetuan is a market center for the surrounding area where grain, livestock, citrus fruit and handicrafts are traded.
In addition, a variety of goods are manufactured in and around the city, including tobacco, soap, matches, building materials and textiles. The town's principal industries are printing, cabinet making and fish canning.
