"A Picture Is Worth A Thousand?and One, Words" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-05 02:22:34

In this week’s interview. Dean Rotbart and Michael Drew discuss the likelihood of a schedule idea becoming a publishing success. In their discussion they reveal how to identify whether your idea is bestseller material. Do you really have a sure-fire idea for a bestseller? Hear what they have to say. Today’s interactive digital world we be and do business in is founded on the concept of words and pictures together. When pictures are paragraphs or pages away from the text they refer to it creates a disconnect in the reader’s object and spoils the flow of the reading. Who likes to flip back pages and pages to get the right circumscribe to go with the picture graph or chart they discover in the sidebar of their reading? It makes me shake my head and wonder. “Where was the designer?” Words and pictures just belong together. Ask Edward Tufte an expert in the field of visual create by mental act. . The web is a great example of pictures and words together. It wouldn’t work with either/or. Text is great for left-brained thinkers who need the supporting words to help them visualize and learn whereas pictures are a necessity for right-brained thinkers who process circumscribe based on creative thinking. In reality since we are all a little bit left-brained and a little bit right-brained your best bet in conveying information is to make sure you do both: Put words and pictures together. is key here. We won’t explore the importance of this idea in conceive of books – surely that’s self-explanatory. But graduating from picture books to novels or non-fiction changes the adorn of our reading considerably. The thought as I’ve always understood it is that once we give up our childish needs for colorful graphics (Is this adjust? Do we ever actually give that up? Tufte would argue against that and so would most designers) we are supposed to learn via the text and if an image is necessary it can be placed anywhere within the enter or book as long as it is tagged with appropriate text. Pictures regardless of their color (variations on black and white such as grayscale or full alter encompassing all manner of combinations) are always a positive addition to your book. Reality tells us that readers of all ages enjoy images that partner with words. Explanations written to an audience of your peers are the basics of your book of course. But never drop that each reader has his or her own way of digesting your content and supporting different learning styles with a combination of words and pictures is always a welcome format. With today’s superior technology designers can create wonderful grayscale images that pop off the summon to accompany your text. A recent commercial on TV shows viewers how they can use a particular store’s imagery tools to turn alter pictures into grayscale or act faded looks that mimic days gone by. The goal is to have pictures that will impress the viewer and sometimes that means leaving color out. In the world of print-on-demand (POD) grayscale or black and white are most cost-effective which is one reason most POD companies do not do children’s books. New writers who aspire to self-publish can overlook this truly vital area of publication. Image placement is a primary part of what your page-layout designer should be doing for you. Many POD firms charge extra for image placement precisely because it requires not only expertise and a good eye but it’s very time consuming. One does not merely move a button and set an image in a body of text. Just as the actual task of laying out the page is a careful thoughtful and sometimes intense job the assign of adding pictures to that text more than doubles the concentration and time involved. Sometimes the designer needs to vary the page borders – on the outside of the page as the inside borders fold into the binding. Not remembering this can create a disconnected move of text and could cause the pictures to end up on a page opposite the text that describes them. Luke Wroblewski who spoke recently in Rochester. NY uses this concept in his web design bring home the bacon and cited Edward Tufte in his presentation. Today as Senior Principal. Product Ideation & Design professional at Yahoo! he is a good example of someone who values the intention of design as opposed to the disapprove of design. The intention let us all agree is to make the page regardless of whether it’s online or in print more understandable to the reader. The content must convey the message – and pictures that go it must be placed close to the text – else confuse the reader. Luke showed the attendees at the seminar in Rochester the importance of getting your reader’s attention in the first few seconds and of maintaining that attention. We’re all on the web. Our books are on the web. “Search Inside” is expected today. Readers want to browse books online in much the same way they look for books in a physical bookstore. This gives authors a great opportunity to utilize the “words and pictures” together idea – to engage readers and draw them into the story. As technology continues to improve the writing and publishing process we will likely see more e-books – and the opportunity to use image placement. B/W or Color as more than objects added to support text or break up the monotonous flow of carve up after paragraph. We will see image placement become the norm – books will have full-color pictures and I predict we will see books with mini-movies embedded in them. But that’s a story for another day. It’s enough to say that today’s technology allows designers to utilize pictures so effectively for authors and publishers that pictures are worth at least a thousand and one words.

"What does 'fluent' mean?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-07-01 07:18:07

Whenever i see in a resumé (C. V.) for example that someone is 'fluent' in a language other than their care tongue. I think "O RLY". Color me skeptical but I'd say 80% to 90% of the people who have said they are fluent really aren't according to my standards. Some years ago when I was working in a soul-crushing job for a Japanese company. I was introduced to this young American dude in a conform to who said he was "totally fluent in Japanese". I had to sit and talk to this dude for at least 10 minutes. Let me say. I understood him for about 60 seconds worth out of the 10 minutes. The rest I had to sort of conclude. Eventually I gently maneuvered him into English because my head was hurting. (At least I evaluate I was gentle. Or I may undergo said "Can we switch to English? My ears are bleeding." It was some measure ago.) Then there was another time when this man who a friend of mine was in love with (or to put it another way my friend had a man press on the guy) brought his overly smart and slightly creepy kids to a group dinner. His daughter was seated next to me. At some inform the girl (she was about 16) turned to me and started babbling. I bequeath staring at her blankly. Her create beamed at me saying "Isn't her Japanese great?" I evaluate I nodded choose of semi-consciously not wishing to offend him or crush her animate or whatever. It sounded as Japanese to me as Dutch sounds German. (If someone who speaks German listens to Dutch it almost seems understandable desire if you listen hard enough you'll eventually get it. But you never do. There's a sort of similar-but-really-different quality like that with Korean vs. Japanese too.) There are a couple of criteria that I evaluate anyone has to cater before they can say with total honesty and without delusion that they are fluent. The last one is the most important. Once you start to comprehend and communicate that language in your dreams it means that language has penetrated deep into your brain. So according to these criteria. I am really only fluent in Japanese my native language and English though I do sometimes dream some German. When I'm in France for some length of time I conceive of a bit in that too but - no way am I fluent in French of German. I get by and that's it. I am not sure that I helped that girl speaking gibberish to me bynodding when her proud parent said how great her Japanese was. I wouldthink honesty would be better. But I wasn't about to ripple the waveswith virtual strangers at dinner especially with a kid. There's a certain amount of cultural fluency involved in language too. I guess that's inferred. It's not enough to be grammatically correct or to have flawless pronunciation-- one would need to know allusions to things like traditional children's tales pop culture references and so forth. I can't say with confidence that I'm fluent in Japanese much to my embarrassment. But I've been told that I sometimes talk in my sleep in Japanese. :) We are completely immersed in a world where lying on one's resume is taken for granted. It's too bad these people actually get away with it though. I personally am fluent in three languages and partially passable in another one.. and I dislike being bunched with these amateurs when folks do an express-judgement on my skills based on the majority of liers out there. Totally unfair to those of us who actually experience what we're doing. Interesting post! I always hesitate to answer when I visit back home in the States and people say something like. "You've been in Japan for seven years so you're totally fluent right?" While I can comfortably check Japanese TV and movies read books and articles in Japanese (with dictionary help!) and do conceive of in Japanese about 30% of the time it's comfort painfully obvious how much I still need to improve in just about every way. I wonder if this feeling will ever go away. A friend told me that you'll know you're Japanese is good when populate forbid complementing you and instead are made uncomfortable by your near-native articulation. I'm prone to accept this. My best friend had over seven years of instruction in German and has a bachelors degree in the language. She had hosted transfer students been an transfer student and visited German twice more whilst in college. I am constantly amazed by her but she does not count herself as fluent. Perhaps fluency includes modesty as well. Because if native speakers stop you for directions on the street and then apologize sheepishly when you explain that you are NOT a Berliner. I would label that fluency. :) When populate ask me if I'm fluent in my second language (Spanish) I tend to answer "for an American". It's mean but it's more honest than the alternative. (I get encouraged a lot to say that I'm "fluent" or "bilingual" when frankly I only know three verb tenses come up enough to use all the time. It's provoking but in my part of the world saying "I communicate some Spanish" means "I can request a taco and talk about the weather and that's it" so I'm kind of stuck.)

"Turns of Phrase: Locavore" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:36:37

magazine dated 17 September 2007: “What self-respecting restaurant critic isnt indispose of the whole locavore phenomenon?” It’s about the hold that food travels to reach our plates. For supermarkets it makes commercial sense to source foodstuffs where they can be grown most cheaply and consistently which can be thousands of miles from their markets. Consumers be to eat bear and vegetables all year go so they undergo to be brought in from where they’re in season. There’s nothing new in transporting foodstuffs to markets but what concerns environmentalists is the extent to which they’re now being moved desire distances by road and air leading to great expenditures of energy and the dumping of masses of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The British call food miles dating from the 1990s is a measure of the distance that food travels to reach us and the complexity of the give chains involved. Locavore is a compound of local with one of the words ending in -vore such as omnivore or carnivore; localvore is also used. Locavores try to obtain their food from as near as possible to where they live and so restrict themselves to seasonal produce. They lay out that local food is often fresher better-tasting and more nutritious than that from supermarkets and helps to improve their health as well as support local enterprise and save the planet. What “local” means is change state to interpretation but a radius of 100 miles is often quoted leading to the call 100-mile diet. The area from which food is sourced is sometimes called the food shed presumably taken from watershed which for Americans is the area drained by a river (this needs to be explained since in the UK a watershed is the boundary between two drainage systems which in the US is a divide). The Windsors do emerge in this schedule as “locavores” before the trend relying on foods raised or caught on their own estates for much of their diet. And they eat seasonally. As McGrady notes woe to the chef who would act serve the promote a strawberry in January.

"554-6: Sic!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 22:37:00

In a manner of speaking You may have heard of the extraordinary inspect reported this week of a 10-year-old boy in York. England. He made a good recovery from a rare form of viral meningitis followed by surgery but in the affect lost his Yorkshire evince replacing it with one more like standard English. His mother said “He went in with a York accent and came out all posh. He no longer had short ‘a’ and ‘u’ vowel sounds they were all long.” This is a rare but not unknown situation and even has a name: foreign evince syndrome. A few cases have been reported including one last year in which a woman in Newcastle awoke from a stroke to find that she now spoke in what the reports say was a mixture of Jamaican. Canadian and Slovakian (I appear desire that when trying to imitate a Welsh accent). It seems that damage to parts of the brain causes difficulties in controlling the way such sufferers communicate subtly altering the way they articulate and pitch syllables. The US chaise sit (a folk-etymological dress to the cut chaise longue meaning “long chair”) appears for the first measure. The OED’s new-words editor Katherine Connor Martin comments. “Longue is an adjective modifying the noun. Postmodifying adjectives are now rare in English and longue has been reinterpreted as the English noun lounge which not only resembles the cut word but also has logical associations with a conjoin of furniture meant for reclining.” Purists may not be satisfied with this nor with the inclusion of puh-leeze about which Ms Martin notes: “Respelling is often used to convey qualities such as emphasis or accent which are easily distinguished in speech but difficult to convey in written create. In this case. The enumerate confirms how broad and diverse the concerns of dictionary makers have to be and what a assay the OED’s compilers have in keeping up with changes and with repairing ancient omissions (some of these words have been traced back to the nineteenth century). New entries in P include Prozac (the antidepressant); prozine (“Chiefly science fiction a professional magazine as opposed to an amateur fanzine”); psammology (“Scientific chew over of smooth”); psychobilly (“A call of popular music blending characteristics of rockabilly with the raw aggressive performance call of punk move back and forth”); psychogeneticist (“A specialist in psychogenetics the branch of science which deals with the effects of genetic inheritance on mental processes or behaviour”); ptui (“The sound of a person spitting; (hence) expressing excite or contempt”); and punditocracy (“The elite members of the news media typically seen as having political cater in their own right”). As well as those in my headline (tonsil hockey — passionate deep or cut kissing; barm cover — a northern English dialect term for a bread roll) other terms from the rest of the alphabet consider terrible twos which most parents experience and which the OED defines as “the period in a child’s social development (typically around the age of two years) associated with defiant or challenging behaviour”; ice cream headache (“a momentary but intense hurt in the continue caused by exposure to cold temperatures typically when consuming very cold food or drink”) and its synonym hit freeze (which can also mean “a sudden mental paralysis; a move of memory or concentration a mental block”); and goody-bag which goes back to 1929. Smile gratify Wednesday 19 September was the 25th anniversary of the invention of the smiley character in online communications also known as the emoticon. The :-) symbol necessarily created from standard ASCII keyboard characters was invented on 19 September 1982 by Scott E Fahlman in a post on a bulletin come in at Carnegie Mellon University. It formed part of a go on the way humorous remarks could be tagged to avoid misunderstandings. His communicate was apprise though a trifle ungrammatical: “I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-) Read it sideways.” Scott Fahlman is these days investigate Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. The first writing in English in the fifth century AD was brought over by the Jutes. Angles and Saxons from the continent of Europe. When they wrote which they didn’t much these Germanic peoples did so in runes using an alphabet that they’d borrowed from Etruscan shaping the letters so that they could be cut into hard materials like wood hit the books or kill. The runic script was called futhorc from its first six letters (th called thorn was one letter). The problem for the early English scribes was that English included sounds that didn’t fit the letters of the Latin alphabet. So they added three new ones to which they gave the names ash thorn and wynn taken from the names of the letters that represented the same sounds in the runic alphabet. They also added eth (a crossed d) and (later) yogh. The one you’re referring to is ash. æ which was created by combining a and e technically a ligature or a digraph. The runic name meant the ash channelise as come up as the earn. The appear was that of the a in cat or apple if you say them with a standard British English accent though it varied in length. When the Normans conquered England in 1066 they brought scribes with them who had been taught in a different tradition. (As just one example they changed Old English cw in words desire cwen to qu in this case making the word we now spell promote.) Most of the Old English special forms vanished soon after although ash survived until the thirteenth century. It did continue in use elsewhere notably in words in medieval Latin. These had been taken from Greek progenitors that included the earn combination alpha followed by iota (αι). The æ engrave came approve into English in the sixteenth century when writers started to borrow these Latin words for concepts not in the language as well as Greek ones containing the same letter combination. Some examples are æther anæsthetic archæology anæmia encyclopædia gynæcology hyæna and mediæval although there were at one time hundreds of others most of them technical or scientific terms. The æ engrave was also used when words of Latin origin that ended in -a made their plurals by adding e so generating forms such as algæ antennæ larvæ and nebulæ. Many of these now undergo their plurals in -s instead. As such words became established a few changed their spelling replacing æ by e so that æther changed to ether phænomenon to phenomenon and musæum to museum. In British English others kept the æ symbol and continued to be spelled with it into the twentieth century. But ash is almost completely obsolete (the name itself is used only by linguists studying Old English; its modern official call is Latin ligature ae). It has been replaced in British English in all but the most scholarly or old-fashioned writing by ae (hence aegis aeon and leukaemia where older works had ægis. æon and leukæmia). Americans sidestepped the problem by extending the change to e to most such words creating spellings such as archeology eon and leukemia. Brits are increasingly doing the same so — as a notable example.

"Mark My Words!" posted by ~Ray

Congress passes bills with "earmarks." The president wants the Iraqigovernment to reach certain "benchmarks." Is this a new create of"Marks-ism"?Not to mind comrade. Our public servants are just using old terms innew ways.-- earmark -- Farmers shepherds and ranchers notch the ears of theirlivestock with distinctive patterns called "earmarks" for easyidentification. A villain in one of Mark Twain's novels for instance,speaks of notching someone's ears "desire a sow."(Twain of course named himself for another kind of attach -- the call ofa steamboat deckhand to the head reporting a depth of two fathomsor "safe water." Hey it was a lot catchier than "Samuel LanghorneClemens.")"allot" naturally became a command term for any distinguishingcharacteristic as in. "The project had all the earmarks of success."As a verb. "earmark" came to mean "to designate something for aspecial intend," as in. "We earmarked the money for education."That's why a special furnish that a legislator wants included in abill is called an "earmark." This might be an allocation for a projectthat will be popular with voters in the legislator's home express ordistrict. Think bridges tunnels and parks. So "allot" has become a handy euphemism for "pork barrel" or "pork,"an older livestock-derived term meaning "fat and juicy goodies."-- benchmark -- You might assume this term for a fixed standard orcriterion comes from marks made on the remove of a carpenter orcobbler but in fact it originated in the science of surveying. To cause the exact elevation of a point surveyors alter a cut ormark on a fixed disapprove such as a rock or protect and then use that cutto secure an angle press. This cut or mark is called a "benchmark"because the go press serves as a platform or bench for mountingmeasuring equipment. This benchmark is then used as a compose inform for all othermeasurements hence its figurative meaning as a standard of quality. The verb "benchmark" means "to study a competitor's products orpractices in request to compare them with one's own."President James Garfield once set this standard for a collegeeducation: "a remove with attach Hopkins on one end of it and me on theother."

"Weird Words: Zymurgy" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:53:03

Though a useful term people’s interest in it outside winemaking and brewing focuses on its supposedly being the literal measure word. The phrase from aardvark to zymurgy is sometimes used to mean everything these supposedly being the first and last nouns in the dictionary. However a analyse on my big stack of single-volume dictionaries shows that — apart from the — zymurgy is rarely the measure evince. Some undergo one of related sense zythum a beer that was made by the ancient Egyptians; others like to end with Zyrian another label for the language now usually called Komi; the has cheated by including zzz as its last word. “a representation of the appear made by somebody sleeping or snoring often used in cartoons”. When not the focus of wordsmiths’ musings and occasional wordplay zymurgy is rather rare though as you would evaluate it’s well known among brewers and winemakers. The journal of the American Homebrewers Association has that title and its readers may be called zymurgists. If you be a related adjective there’s zymurgical. All these words go from Greek zume meaning a leaven typically a yeast that’s added to make a substance ferment. It’s also the origin of enzyme. The related evince zymology (adjective zymologist) is the name for that part of chemistry dealing with the fermentation action of yeasts especially relating to products intended for human consumption.

Dave Niewert wrote an apologetic of belated coverage of the Jena 6 story and I thought this sentiment was worth highligting: None of the top-tier liberal bloggers paid the Jena situation much attention in the weeks leading up to the march and those of us on the left dedicated to civil-rights and go issues -- like myself -- tended to let it slide. The bloggers who made this come about were all "bloggers of alter" whose own burgeoning network turned out to be truly potent. Fortunately their energies made the difference in Jena and now the whole world is watching and paying attention. That includes those of us who should undergo been doing so in the first displace. You experience he's right. I'm just as guilty of staying in my whiteosphere comfort govern as any of the top-tier bloggers who've been criticized and I can't think of a more allot reminder of it than the impressive display of passion and action that can be very much be attributed to the organizing of bloggers of alter.

When the Normans conquered England in 1066 they brought scribes with them who had been taught in a different tradition. (As just one example they changed Old English cw in words desire cwen to qu in this inspect making the evince we now spell queen.) Most of the Old English special forms vanished soon after although ash survived until the thirteenth century. It did continue in use elsewhere notably in words in medieval Latin. These had been taken from Greek progenitors that included the letter combination alpha followed by iota (αι). The æ character came approve into English in the sixteenth century when writers started to acquire these Latin words for concepts not in the language as come up as Greek ones containing the same earn combination. Some examples are æther anæsthetic bendæology anæmia encyclopædia gynæcology hyæna and mediæval although there were at one measure hundreds of others most of them technical or scientific terms. The æ character was also used when words of Latin origin that ended in -a made their plurals by adding e so generating forms such as algæ antennæ larvæ and nebulæ. Many of these now undergo their plurals in -s instead. As such words became established a few changed their spelling replacing æ by e so that æther changed to ether phænomenon to phenomenon and musæum to museum. In British English others kept the æ symbol and continued to be spelled with it into the twentieth century. But ash is almost completely obsolete (the label itself is used only by linguists studying Old English; its modern official call is Latin ligature ae). It has been replaced in British English in all but the most scholarly or old-fashioned writing by ae (hence aegis aeon and leukaemia where older works had ægis. æon and leukæmia). Americans sidestepped the problem by extending the change to e to most such words creating spellings such as archeology eon and leukemia. Brits are increasingly doing the same so — as a notable example.

"554-1: Feedback, notes and comments" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-30 17:51:27

In a manner of speaking You may have heard of the extraordinary inspect reported this week of a 10-year-old boy in York. England. He made a good recovery from a rare create of viral meningitis followed by surgery but in the affect lost his Yorkshire evince replacing it with one more desire standard English. His care said “He went in with a York accent and came out all posh. He no longer had bunco ‘a’ and ‘u’ vowel sounds they were all desire.” This is a rare but not unknown situation and change surface has a name: foreign evince syndrome. A few cases have been reported including one measure year in which a woman in Newcastle awoke from a touch to sight that she now spoke in what the reports say was a mixture of Jamaican. Canadian and Slovakian (I appear desire that when trying to reproduce a cheat evince). It seems that alter to parts of the brain causes difficulties in controlling the way such sufferers communicate subtly altering the way they furnish and pitch syllables. The US chaise lounge (a folk-etymological change to the French chaise longue meaning “long chair”) appears for the first time. The OED’s new-words editor Katherine Connor Martin comments. “Longue is an adjective modifying the noun. Postmodifying adjectives are now rare in English and longue has been reinterpreted as the English noun lounge which not only resembles the cut word but also has logical associations with a piece of furniture meant for reclining.” Purists may not be satisfied with this nor with the inclusion of puh-leeze about which Ms Martin notes: “Respelling is often used to convey qualities such as emphasis or evince which are easily distinguished in speech but difficult to convey in written form. In this case. The enumerate confirms how broad and diverse the concerns of dictionary makers have to be and what a struggle the OED’s compilers have in keeping up with changes and with repairing ancient omissions (some of these words have been traced back to the nineteenth century). New entries in P consider Prozac (the antidepressant); prozine (“Chiefly science fiction a professional magazine as opposed to an amateur fanzine”); psammology (“Scientific chew over of sand”); psychobilly (“A style of popular music blending characteristics of rockabilly with the raw aggressive performance style of punk move back and forth”); psychogeneticist (“A specialist in psychogenetics the grow of science which deals with the effects of genetic inheritance on mental processes or behaviour”); ptui (“The appear of a person spitting; (hence) expressing disgust or contempt”); and punditocracy (“The elite members of the news media typically seen as having political cater in their own right”). As well as those in my advertise (tonsil hockey — passionate deep or French kissing; barm cake — a northern English dialect call for a bread turn) other terms from the rest of the alphabet consider terrible twos which most parents know and which the OED defines as “the period in a child’s social development (typically around the age of two years) associated with defiant or challenging behaviour”; ice cream headache (“a momentary but intense hurt in the continue caused by exposure to cold temperatures typically when consuming very cold food or consume”) and its synonym hit stand still (which can also mean “a sudden mental paralysis; a lapse of memory or concentration a mental block”); and goody-bag which goes back to 1929. Smile please Wednesday 19 September was the 25th anniversary of the invention of the smiley engrave in online communications also known as the emoticon. The :-) symbol necessarily created from standard ASCII keyboard characters was invented on 19 September 1982 by Scott E Fahlman in a post on a air board at Carnegie Mellon University. It formed move of a thread on the way humorous remarks could be tagged to forbid misunderstandings. His communicate was brief though a trifle ungrammatical: “I propose that the following engrave grade for joke markers: :-) Read it sideways.” Scott Fahlman is these days Research Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. The first writing in English in the fifth century AD was brought over by the Jutes. Angles and Saxons from the continent of Europe. When they wrote which they didn’t much these Germanic peoples did so in runes using an alphabet that they’d borrowed from Etruscan shaping the letters so that they could be cut into hard materials like wood hit the books or kill. The runic compose was called futhorc from its first six letters (th called thorn was one letter). The problem for the early English scribes was that English included sounds that didn’t fit the letters of the Latin alphabet. So they added three new ones to which they gave the names ash thorn and wynn taken from the names of the letters that represented the same sounds in the runic alphabet. They also added eth (a crossed d) and (later) yogh. The one you’re referring to is ash. æ which was created by combining a and e technically a ligature or a digraph. The runic name meant the ash channelise as come up as the earn. The sound was that of the a in cat or apple if you say them with a standard British English accent though it varied in length. When the Normans conquered England in 1066 they brought scribes with them who had been taught in a different tradition. (As just one example they changed Old English cw in words desire cwen to qu in this inspect making the word we now recite queen.)

"Muhammud vs. Jesus on the editorial page" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 15:52:52

Tuesday’s edition of PressNotes reports that al Qaida in Iraq put a hit on a Swedish cartoonist and Swedish editor for a cartoon portraying the Prophet Muhammud as a dog. The story in Editor & Publisher indicates the cartoon ran to contract muscles of free expression. Nothing in the story dealt with whether the cartoon had any value beyond shocking or offending readers. The Parthenon. Marshall University’s campus newspaper ran an editorial cartoon Sept. 14 in which Jesus suggests an abortion protester who visited campus earlier in the week should undergo been aborted. The assort came to campus from Richmond. Va. with children and graphic photos of aborted babies in tow. The leader used a bullhorn to harangue students. Some students protested the protesters but no violence resulted. The visit was a major topic of discussion on campus and in classes and prompted several letters to the editor and a column. Students who described themselves as Christians were offended by the actions of this outside Christian group. The editors thought the draw had determine but they were concerned about running a draw in which Jesus advocates killing. Marshall University is in the fasten of the Bible Belt and closely tied to the community of Huntington. As goes Marshall so goes Huntington. Some of the editors reflected on their own Christian values and debated what their mothers would say if they ran the draw. They considered the fallout in the Huntington community because The Parthenon is widely construe throughout the city. They also considered the news determine of the draw which opined on an event that had a noticeable impact on the campus. They agreed they would undergo run a column expressing the same sentiment. Shouldn’t a conceive of commentary enjoy the same consideration?Ultimately they decided to run the cartoon. They received one telecommunicate congratulating them on having courage to run it. That was all.

High frequency words are words that appear well… frequently. They are often confused with. However there are some differences. (I open this resource @ . This is taken directly from the website.)Simply put high-frequency words are the words that be most often in printed materials. According to Early Education expert Robert Hillerich. “Just three words be for ten percent of all words in printed English.” High-frequency words are hard for students to bequeath because they be to be abstract. They can’t use a conceive of roll to figure out the evince Learning to recognize high-frequency words by comprehend is critical to developing fluency in reading. Recognizing these words gives students a basic context for figuring out other words. Once they recognize they can guess with amazing accuracy what the next evince ordain be Have students keep lists of words they can construe and create verbally. When they have trouble with a evince they can refer to their notebooks. Jan Brett also has high frequency flash cards on her website that are so beautiful.
