  2. How NOT to make cheese on toast, by London Fire Brigade

     

    An urgent warning is issued after a fire was caused by a sideways toaster used to make a cheesy snack

     

    A fire has been started after a peckish south Londoner put a toaster on its side to make cheese on toast.

     

    Now, the London Fire Brigade have issued an urgent warning to prevent it from happening again.

     

    A picture of a toaster on its side with some cheese on toast in it under a giant red cross could not make the message any clearer.

    Firefighters arrived at the house in Croydon to find the toaster completely burnt out on its side having set fire to the worktop.

     

    Crew Manager Nick Morley, from the Norbury station, said: "I never thought I'd have to give this advice as it's painfully obvious, but if you want cheese on toast use a grill not a toaster.

     

    "Toasters are not designed to be put on their side and used to grill cheese on toast.

    "Not only does it generate heat onto the work surface as we saw at this incident but the dry left over crumbs from the bottom of the toaster can get onto the hot elements and ignite."

  3. A secondary school in Leeds at which more than three-quarters of pupils do not have English as a mother tongue has introduced lessons for all pupils to teach them English as a foreign language.

    The headteacher, Georgina Sale, said all pupils of City of Leeds secondary school, including those for whom English was a first language, would soon receive the extra 50-minute lesson each week.

    The extra tuition would "boost their fundamental English skills and improve their basic spelling and grammar", she said. "We hope this will allow pupils who speak English as a first language as well as our multilingual learners the same opportunity to accomplish A and A* grades at GCSE."

     

    Pretty wild when you think about it.

  4. The mysterious turn that diverted the missing Malaysia Airlines flight off of its scheduled route to Beijing was programmed into a computer system on board, the New York Times reported Monday, meaning it was not executed manually by one of the pilots at the controls.

    The revelation lends more credence to a theory by investigators searching for the jet that the Boeing 777 was deliberately diverted.

     

    No shit?!

     

    The Times reports it is unclear if the change in course was reprogrammed before or after the plane took off, but the change was likely made by someone in the cockpit with knowledge of airplane systems.

     

    No shit?!
