All right, this is for teachers with upper-year art, textiles, or sewing classes. And if you need Hallowe'en costume ideas, see the third paragraph. Since this site compiles everything there is to know and do with duct tape, it's only logical that it has a fashion section. The "tour" shows a number of projects from high schools and colleges of design, such as prom dresses, accessories like purses, and fancy costumes made entirely of duct tape. Serious? Of course -- see the video of the duct tape fashion show from Parsons School of Design in New York, or the duct tape wedding in Los Angeles. "The refrigerator" part of the site is the main index. They have one lesson plan, on creative thinking, just to the right of the handle; a smaller gallery of duct tape art (besides the fashion) is just above the handle. The Hallowe'en costume ideas are just below "Duct Tape 101" in the lower right corner. Tim Nyberg and his brother-in-law Jim Berg of Roseville, Minnesota, are "two regular guys who have dedicated their lives to duct tape." They support this site through sales of their own duct-tape-related merchandise. Please note that the entire site is copyrighted; students are not to use its illustrations or text as part of their own projects unless they ask permission first. For all the wackiness, it appears all family-friendly and cute, adolescent-appropriate humour. ! The same cannot be said for the site in last ! Thursday's Nugget about scam letters; one off- A site link near the bottom of www.rey.ca leads D to some scam letters about pornography. Maybe I V should have expected that; scammers don't have I scruples about their content (or anything else), S and some anti-scam sites cover that angle too. O My apologies if your students found that link. R To avoid it and still use the content, just copy Y the main table and paste it into an Excel sheet. ! Thanks to longtime subscriber John Casey for ! alerting me to the problem. NEWS BRIEF... http://www.brainsinbahrain.com Nuggets eschews news coverage, but could not ignore the man-vs-computer chess match now under way in Bahrain and running until October 19. Game 1 was a draw; the human (Russian champion Vlarimir Kramnik) beat the German computer Deep Fritz for Game 2. ---------------------- Network Nuggets is a free service of the Community Learning Network Website (www.cln.org) and the Open Learning Agency of British Columbia (www.openschool.bc.ca).

Mobile phones in Gazipur -- a village on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh -- are allowing women to establish small businesses. Grameen women, as they are called, receive loans from Grameen Bank, the Bangladesh NGO. The women then build local businesses around their phone, such as offering communications services to residents in their village. The mobile phone program allows women to earn money and send their children to school, as well as earn more respect from family members. "I can send my child to school which I couldn't before," said one program participant. "I don't have to worry about going to a doctor as I [now] have the money to pay him."
