The Language of New Media Design is an innovative new textbook presenting methods on the design and analysis of a variety of non-linear texts, from websites to CD-Roms. Integrating theory and practice, the book explores a range of models for analyzing and constructing multimedia products. For each model the authors outline the theoretical background and demonstrate usage from students' coursework, commonly available websites and other multimedia products. Assuming no prior knowledge, the book adopts an accessible approach to the subject which has been trialled and tested on MA students at the London College of Communication. Written by experienced authors, this textbook will be an invaluable resource for students and teachers of new media design, information technology, linguistics and semiotics.

Adding a new introduction and two previously unpublished papers, Discourse and Practice: New Tools for Critical Discourse Analysis brings together van Leeuwen's methodological work on discourse analysis of the last 15 years. Discourse, van Leeuwen argues, is a resource for representation, a knowledge about some aspect of reality which can be drawn upon when that aspect of reality has to be represented, a framework for making sense of things. And they are plural. There can be different discourses, different ways of making sense of the same aspect of reality that serve different interests and will therefore be used in different social contexts. However abstract some discourses are, discourses ultimately always represent doings, van Leeuwen argues. Doing is the foundation of knowing, and social practices are the foundation of discourses. Studying children's books, newspaper reports, brochures and other texts, as well as photographs and children's toys, van Leeuwen investigates what can happen when practices are transformed into discourses and provides analytical tools for reconstructing discourses from texts. Throughout the book, van Leeuwen makes connections between sociological and linguistic or semiotic concepts and methods to ensure the social and critical relevance of his analytical categories. van Leeuwen's work has already been widely used by critical discourse analysts across the world. This volume will be a welcome guide for anyone looking for a form of discourse analysis that is both explicit and methodical, and critically incisive.

Featuring a wide range of exercises, examples, and images, this textbook provides a practical way of analysing the discourses of the global media industries. Building on a comprehensive introduction to the history and theory of global media communication, specific case studies of lifestyle and entertainment media are explored with examples from films, global women's magazines, Vietnamese news reporting and computer war games. Finally this book investigates how global media communication is produced, looking at the formats, languages and images used in creating media materials, both globally and in localised forms. At a time when the media is becoming increasingly global, often with the same films, news and television programmes shown all over the world; Global Media Discourse provides an accessible, lively introduction into how globalisation is changing the language and communicative practices of the media. Integrating a range of approaches, including political economy, discourse analysis and ethnography, this book will be of particular interest to students of media and communication studies, applied linguistics, and (critical) discourse analysis.

© 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This paper opens by proposing a model for the holistic study of design software that emphasises user operations. It then examines the affordances of Explain Everything, a popular interactive whiteboard software, for animating concepts that play a crucial role in the Australian Year 7–10 physics curriculum. Building on earlier work on animation by Leão [(2012a). "Movement in Film Titles: An Analytical Approach." Unpublished PhD, University of Technology, Sydney], the meaning-making resources of animation, in general, are presented as a stratified system (of choices), which is then deployed to explore the animation operations that Explain Everything facilitates. It is found that Explain Everything can animate some of the Year 7–10 physics concepts but has limitations with respect to others and is not able to realise all the options which the animation system generalises. In this way, the paper seeks to contribute to the growing body of social semiotic studies of multimodal semiotic technologies.

© 2018, Equinox Publishing. Co-authored by a discourse analyst, a branding expert and medical researchers and practitioners, this paper presents a multimodal discourse analysis of advertisements for contraceptive products in magazines and journals aimed at general practitioners, gynecologists and obstetricians. It combines genre analysis and multimodal image, layout, colour and typography analysis to show how such advertisements link specific types of women to specific products and product attributes and benefits, and how product branding invokes values such as health, sexual freedom, sexuality, femininity, strength and reliability, which combine in different ways to create distinct identities for specific products. The findings show that the way the advertisements link products and users does not align with medical evidence, and that in general they do not represent the full range of factors that play a role in choosing contraceptive methods and products - indeed, they are far removed from the realities of the consultation room.

View description
© 2015 Taylor & Francis. This paper traces the development of a new semiotic mode, kinetic typography. Kinetic typography began with the experiments of filmmakers like Len Lye and Norman McLaren. Later, film title designers like Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro drew on the shapes of letters with inventive metaphors – serifs, for instance could make letters walk, because they can stand for shoes as they are elongated horizontals on which something stands. In Saul Bass' titles for Hitchcock's Psycho, the splitting of letters became a metaphor for the split mind of the film's main character. Such inventions eventually became part of a lexicon of clichés drawn on by designers across the world. Eventually, researchers and software designers began to formalize and systematize the language of kinetic typography, and the fruit of their work is now widely available, not only to specialists, but also to anyone who uses PowerPoint or Adobe AfterEffects, even though users may not always be aware of the lexico-grammatical rules which underlie the menus they choose from. And computers, being agnostic as to the kind of "objects" their operations operate on, apply these grammars to letters as well as other graphic forms, thus consolidating the multimodality of the language of movement. The second part of the paper discusses these formalizations, drawing on the kinetic design literature. Based on M.A.K. Halliday's transitivity theory, it sketches the outlines of a systemic grammar of movement that can make the meaning potential of kinetic typography explicit. The paper concludes with an analysis of art works created by David Byrne which use PowerPoint as a medium. Using PowerPoint's relatively simple movement grammar, Byrne has nevertheless succeeded in using movement creatively, giving us a glimpse of a future of creative writing which has kinetic typography at its very centre.

In this paper, we propose a social semiotic approach to studying PowerPoint in university classrooms. Our approach is centred on two premises: (1) PowerPoint is a semiotic technology that can be integrated into the pedagogical discourse of classrooms, and (2) PowerPoint technology encompasses three interrelated dimensions of social semiotic practices: the design of the software, the composition of the slides and the slideshow-supported presentations, i.e. lectures. Using this approach, we explore how PowerPoint has been used in seven cultural studies lectures in an Australian university. Our analysis demonstrates how multimodal resources in PowerPoint have been used for pedagogic recontextualisation. More specifically, it shows how different semiotic resources have been deployed and combined to recontextualise two key types of knowledge – signifying practice and subjectivity – in the classroom discursive space, and how different strengths of pedagogic framing are achieved multimodally

The term `texture is often applied beyond the tactile, to describe visual and aural qualities. While tactile, visual and aural texture have been studied separately in various fields, the relationships between them remain largely unexplored. To address this gap, this article proposes parameters for describing tactile surface texture and visual texture, and compares their meaning-making potential. The authors argue that, as new technologies increasingly limit the role of tactile experience and expand the importance of the visual, there is a growing need to study the influence of ubiquitous technologies on our use and understanding of the semiotic potential of resources such as texture. They hypothesize about this influence by reviewing the presentation of texture as a fill option for shapes and backgrounds in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows from 1992 to 2007.

7he paper discusses three aspects of the relation between discourse and technology. The first is the influence of new communication technologies on the agenda oflinguistics and discourse analysis. The beginning of radio broadcasting led to new theories of intonation and the beginning of television created an interest in linguistically inspired approaches to non-verbal communication. The second is the use of technologies as tools for discourse analysis. The move from film to the tape recorder and the subsequent birth of conversation analysis diminished the earlier interest in non-verbal communication, while today corpus linguistics challenges approaches that focus on the analysis of single, whole texts. Finally, contemporary software not only builds in spelling and grammar rules, but also text structure rules (templates), and systematic options for the use of layout, typography, colour, animation and other non-linguistic means of expression, leading to a renewed interest in multimodality. The paper concludes with the view that considerations of technology should be integrated with discourse analysis and cites the work of Ron and Suzie Scallon as an early example of this approach.

After an introduction on the recent history of academic publishing in non-linear media, the article compares two versions of an academic publication by the American sociologist David Theo Goldberg. The two versions deal with the same subject matter, but one is a traditional scholarly article, the other published in an online journal in a non-linear format. While the academic article constructs a tight, linear argument, subordinating a range of themes to a single key theme, the non-linear text gives all themes equal weight, accommodates a greater amount of evidence and documentation, and has more scope for multimodality.

War toys of different eras realize the dominant discourses of war of the time, and they do so in a way which allows children to enact these discourses and values in play. This paper examines war toys over the past 100 years before providing a detailed multimodal analysis of contemporary war toys distributed around the planet, mainly by global American corporations, which teach children about the importance of the quick decisive strike, the role of the team and the morality of technology. Through this they convey how conflicts are resolved in today's world, and why. Early on children are recruited not just into the war on terror but also the values of corporate capitalism. The paper ends by looking at some ethnographic data where children play with guns.

View description
This article looks at toys for very small children, an object of study that has been pursued in psychoanalysis (by Freud and Erikson, for example), but all too infrequently in semiotics. Specifically, it analyzes the social roles and identities called into play by the highly successful Playmobil figurines. In the Hallidayan tradition, the investigation foregrounds the importance of roles and actors in semiosis, paying close attention to roles/actors that are excluded as well as those that are included. As the essay argues, semiotic systems are always a mixture of affordance and constraint. Playmobil (in contrast to Lego, for example) is shown to be stronger on constraints than affordances, however. As a global brand and genre, the figures of Playmobil have the potential to influence nascent perceptions of the way that social actors operate.

This article discusses two crucial issues in the social semiotics of visual communication. The first is the move from accounts of specific semiotic modes towards an integrated multimodal approach to visual communication in which the analysis of images becomes less central than the analysis of semiotic resources such as composition, movement and colour, which are common to a range of semiotic modes including images, graphics, typography, fashion, product design, exhibition design and architecture. The second is a new emphasis on the discourses, practices and technologies that regulate the use of semiotic resources, and on studying the take-up of semiotic resources by users in relation to these regulatory discourses, practices and technology. Here, the article will discuss a number of semiotic 'regimes', including codification, tradition, expertise, best practice or role modelling, and technological control. The article ends with a discussion of the way normative discourses are built into the latest visual communication technologies (e.g. PowerPoint, HTML, Photoshop, Illustrator) and an affirmation of the need for a critical and well-contextualised semiotics of visual technology.

The Vietnam News is an English language daily newspaper produced on behalf of the Vietnamese Government, as part of its market reform policies. Drawing on an analysis of 100 translations from the Vietnamese press and their rewrites by the paper's foreign sub-editors, as well as on interviews with sub-editors and journalist-translators working at the Vietnam News, the article documents the translation and adaptation decisions that constitute the process of globalizing the discourse of the Vietnamese press in this particular instance. Three kinds of decisions are discussed in turn: translation decisions affecting the English used, translation/adaptation decisions affecting journalistic style, and translation/adaptation decisions affecting cultural and ideological references in the source texts. The article ends by asking whether the Vietnamese press is best served by closely following the Anglo-Australian model, as it does at present, or by developing its own distinct local style

This article seeks to co-articulate a sociological and a linguistic-discourse analytical concept of style. In both fields there has been some renewed interest in the notion of lifestyle as commentators have noted that, with the decline of traditional types of social groupings such as class and age, lifestyle has become the dominant source of social identity. Both therefore centre on style as the expression of identity and values. The authors use this approach to understand the language of a global women's magazine, Cosmopolitan. Cosmopolitan style is a hybrid of different styles, chosen for the connotations they bring, for the way they help express the magazine's identity and values. Although local versions adopt it in their own specific ways, overall it is a global style. The local languages may differ, but the identities and values conveyed by the style do not. © 2005 SAGE Publications.

The paper presents a systemic-functional description of English discursive resources for representing and regulating the timing of social practices. Four key categories are distinguished: the time summons, which imposes timing on social activities by decree; social synchronization, in which the timing of social activities is synchronized with the timing of other social activities; natural synchronization, in which the timing of social activities is synchronized with the timing of natural events; and mechanical synchronization, in which the timing of social activities is synchronized with the timing of artificially created events. A number of more delicate categories and other aspects of timing are discussed, together with their realizations. Two texts are analyzed to demonstrate the utility of this descriptive framework for the critical discourse analysis of texts in which the management of time is a key issue.

This paper forms part of a larger study in which we investigate the notion that the formats of global media output are increasingly homogeneous while the discursive construction of their content is increasingly localized. In other words, the strategy is that of McDonalds. McDonalds may sell sushiburgers in Japan and curryburgers in India, but burgers remain burgers, and it is in their burger-ness, in the burger format, that the essence of their global cultural significance must be looked for. Like burgers, media formats are not value free, not mere containers, but key technologies for the dissemination of the global corporate ethos. In this paper we will concentrate mainly on the issue of global generic homogeneity. In a companion paper, to appear in the Journal of Sociolinguistics, we will explore the local aspect, discursive diversity. But the relation between the two is crucial, and will be stressed in both papers. We are aware that even if, in this paper, homogeneity will receive somewhat more emphasis than diversity, that local inflections are equally as relevant.

This paper presents a semiotic analysis of a key cultural artefact, the teddy bear. After introducing the iconography of the teddy bear, it analyses different kinds of stories to show how teddy bears are endowed with meaning in everyday life: stories from children's books, reminiscences by adults about their childhood teddy bears, and children's accounts of what they do with their teddy bears, both written for school and told 'out of school'. The paper sees teddy bears as artefacts that provide a cultural channelling for the child's need of a transitional object, and argues that the meanings of teddy bears have traditionally centred on interpersonal relations within the nuclear family, but have recently been institutionalised and commercialised.

This paper investigates the representation of female identity and practice in the U.K., Dutch, German, Spanish, Greek, Finnish, Indian and Taiwanese versions of Cosmopolitan magazine. It shows how a problemsolution discourse schema underlies a range of articles that do not all use a problemsolution genre. While this schema is clearly global and occurs in all the versions of the magazine, it allows for local variation in terms of the kinds of problems and solutions it can accommodate. The schema is described as an interpretive framework which constructs social life as an individual struggle for survival in a world of risky and unstable relationships. The community of readers of the magazine is described as a globally dispersed and linguistically heterogeneous speech community which nevertheless shares an involvement with the same modalities and genres of language and the same linguistic constructions of reality and which can signify its allegiance to the values of the magazine through dress, grooming and other behaviours.

Photography has a long history of (de-)legitimation of wars. In this paper we examine the visual rhetoric of two newspapers, the British Guardian and the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza in their representation of the Palestinian-Israeli war in October 2000. Although both newspapers have access to the same (agency) photographs, their images differ. Both papers show the Palestinians to be the main victims of the war. However, Gazeta Wyborcza depicts the Palestinians predominantly as terrorists and deflects any military responsibility from the Israelis by not including any photographs of the Israeli soldiers. The Guardian shows the Palestinians predominantly as romanticised, lone heroes against the Israeli military might, although the Israeli military force is vague and de-personalised. Furthermore, both newspapers differ in their representation of the war in political terms choosing different images of local and international politicians.

View description
This article presents a brief review of several approaches of 'grammar', as the basis for a discussion of culturally produced regularities in the uses of colour; that is, the possibility of extending the use of 'grammar' to colour as a communicational resource. Colour is discussed as a semiotic resource - a mode, which, like other modes, is multifunctional in its uses in the culturally located making of signs. The authors make some use of the Jakobson/Halle theory of 'distinctive features', highlighting as signifier-resources those of differentiation, saturation, purity, modulation, value and hue. These are treated as features of a grammar of colour rather than as features of colour itself. The article demonstrates its theoretical points through the analysis of several examples and links notions of 'colour schemes' and 'colour harmony' into the social and cultural concept of grammar in the more traditional sense.

It is a companion to an earlier paper investigating the same issues in the UK. Both deal with left-wing governments who, in the European context, are proposing economic change and developing and adapting a range of legitimation devices and rhetorical strategies to this end. There are clear similarities, which can be traced back to European policies, but there are also local accents. In the UK there is a greater emphasis on economic issues and `moral underclass discourse, while in Austria there is more emphasis on political-cum-ideological issues.

The material qualities and kinetic possibilities and limitations of toys and other objects for small children create a specific cultural microcosm. Within the confines of this environment, as facilitated and mediated by parents or other carers, children explore and develop their cognitive and motor abilities, and become specific kinds of socio-cultural actors, with specific kinds of subjectivities. In this study we investigate this process with respect to toys which enters the lives of many babies from the very beginning. We look at discourses of childhood and parenting. We examined the way baby toys are given meaning in the verbal and verbal-visual texts on their packaging, in advertisements, and in parenting magazines and books. We ask the following questions: ? Which of the toys' potential meanings and uses are made explicit, which are not? ? What kinds of activities with the toys are proposed? ? What purposes are ascribed to these activities, and to the toys themselves? We try to show how the same toy can be used to articulate different discourses, for instance a discourse of play as carefree fun' and a discourse of play as serious 'developmental' work, and how such discourses highlight different aspects of the toys, and prescribe or suggest different ways of using them. Our aim here is to investigate which of the baby toys' potential meanings and uses are made or not made explicit in the texts we look at and the kinds of activities proposed with the toys. We are also interested in the purposes ascribed to these activities and to the toys themselves. We explore how baby toys can be used and we begin to explore how society says they should be used. Our main thesis is that 'babyhood', is socially and culturally constructed not only in texts and images, but also in other multimodal representations such as toys. And these communicative practices help to reinforce particular constructions of babyhood that should be at least discussed, if not challenged.

The paper presents a framework for describing the representation of social action in English discourse, attempting to relate sociologically relevant categories of action to their grammatical and rhetorical realization in discourse. Departing from Halliday's theory of transitivity, it begins by describing 15 types of action and their typical grammatical realizations. It then describes the transformations which social actions can undergo in discourse—transformations such as objectivation, deagentialization, generalization, abstraction and overdetermination. The utility of the framework for critical discourse analysis is demonstrated through the analysis of an Australian newspaper feature critiquing the Australian Government's open door policy towards immigration from developing countries in a way which, the paper argues, is strongly tinged with racist attitudes. © 1995, SAGE Publications.

This paper relates the concepts of genre and field, as developed in the context of systemic-functional linguistics, to the broader concepts of discourse and discursive practice. Generic structure is described in terms of the sequencing of speech acts, and as realizing the activity sequences which form the core of discursive practices. Field structure is reinterpreted as the recontextualization of social practice and as realizing discourses, that is, context-specific knowledge constructions about social practices. The theory is extended to the multimodal text, the text which uses more than one semiotic, e.g. verbal text and images. It is applied in a critical analysis of the discursive practices constituted by a certain kind of professional guidance writing in the press, and of discourses about 'going to school for the first time'. © 1993, SAGE Publications.

This chapter seeks to widen perspectives and research approaches on intratextual practices in image-centric communication to produce a trans-textual view that is closely linked to the concepts of discourse and intertextuality. The aim is to demonstrate that an image can constitute the nucleus of an entire discourse, here understood as a transtextual semantic unit. The hypothesis that a discourse can unfold in an image-centric fashion is validated by the fact that images are often located at the center of a dense network of intertextual references. This chapter provides an analytical framework and a typology of major ways in which such intertextual references to a nuclear/centric image can be established in discourse. It is based on a case study of images that went around the world: the photos of the dead refugee boy Aylan Kurdi at a beach in Bodrum, taken by the Turkish photographer Nilüfer Demir in September 2015.

In a paper that played an important role in setting the agenda for critical discourse analysis, Norman Fairclough drew attention to what he called the "marketization of discourse", the "colonization of discourse by promotion" (1993: 142) in diverse social institutions and practices. Powered by neoliberal ideas blurring the boundaries between public and private life, shared and individual responsibility, forms of discourse associated with advertising have infiltrated professional, political and public service institutions, and gradually become the common sense of their everyday world, mixing fact and opinion, information and persuasion, and steering clear of anything that might be regarded as negative or critical. This process, as Fairclough (1993) argued, is reflected in and continues to advance three defining aspects of contemporary communication: (1) "technologization" – the building and imposition, typically top-down, of knowledge and norms about what constitutes effective discourse within a given institution; (2) "conversationalization", or "synthetic personalization", the appropriation of communication principles such as those used in informal, personal conversations, for the marketing goals of formerly self-effacing and impersonal official and professional discourse and (3) increased reliance on the promotional power of semiotic modes other than language (e.g., visual, aural and kinetic resources) and their multimodal interaction, and an associated "significant shift from what one might call signification-with-reference to signification-without-reference" (1993: 142), witnessed in the rise of "discourse aesthetics" (van Leeuwen 2015)

This afterword reviews the chapters in this volume and reflects on the synergies between organization and management studies and multimodality studies that emerge from the volume. These include the combination of strong sociological theorizing and detailed multimodal analysis, a focus on materiality and on the way functionality and meaning combine in multimodal communication, and an interest in the historical transformations of identity and legitimation discourses.

I once heard the jazz bassist and composer Marcus Miller explain how he composed the score for the film 'Siesta', in 1987, laying a bass line first, the using a synthesiser to build up the percussion, layer by layer. At the end of that process, he realised there was something missing. The rhythm was all too mechanical. So he engaged a drummer to play a single drum in the studio, on top of the tracks he has already laid. What next, he then asked himself. I like Herbie Hancocks chords, I'll put some of those in. It was at this point that I had a revelation. I had always seen harmony as the language of Western music, and harmonic structure as its basic sources of textual development, whether in Beethoven, Broadway or the Beatles. But to Marcus Miller chords were just some added spicing, some added colour. It dawned on me that in multimodal texts any semiotic mode can in principle either provide the basic structure of remain incidental, fragmented, providing, here and there, some added colour.

Linguistically inspired approaches to the semiotics of music have generally described music as an abstract system of tonal and temporal relations, 'Music, by itself, signifies nothing', Nattiez (1971: 8), echoing Stravinsky's [1936] categorical denial of musical meaning. Such views aptly describe a particular early 20th century formalist approach to music.

I am a jazz pianist and church organ player as well as an academic. Two years ago I bought a new digital piano, a Roland RD300-SX. Its hundreds of voices imitate the whole range of traditional musical instruments, but also include "human voices": Aah Choirs and Oooh Choirs, Jazz Scat, Space Voices, and more. As a church organ player, I knew this was nothing new. Church organs have included vox humana ("human voice") stops for centuries. I became intrigued. Is there a continuity between analog and digital musical representations of the human voice, or has digitality introduced a new dimension? It is this question that I will explore in this chapter.

We translated and analyzed articles on sexuality and women's careers; we interviewed local editors and readers in ten countries; and we found that the local versions of the magazine followed much the same agenda - all propagate the independent, freedom-loving 'fun, fearless' Cosmo woman. The visual style and generic structure of the articles (and of the magazine as a whole) were also near-identical in all the versions we studied (only the Japanese version had a different format).

Gender and discourse interface in many more epistemological sites than can be represented in one collection. Gender Identity and Discourse Analysis therefore focuses on a principled diversity of key sites within four broad areas: the media, sexuality, education and parenthood. The different chapters together illustrate how taking a discourse perspective facilitates understanding of the complex and subtle ways in which gender is represented, constructed and contested through language. The book engages critically with long-running and on-going debates, but also reflects and develops current understandings of gender, identity and discourse, particularly the shift from 'gender differences' to the discoursal shaping of gender. Gender Identity and Discourse Analysis thus offers not only insights and methodologies of new empirical studies but also careful theorisations, in particular of discourse, text, identity and gender. The collection is a valuable resource for researchers, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates working in the area of gender and discourse.

Global Dance Festival -- by some metrics the largest EDM festival in the region -- brought a typically powerhouse lineup of bass purveyors to Red Rocks over the weekend. Over three days, thousands of fans flocked to the park for sets by the likes of Adventure Club, Zedd and Waka Flocka Flame (GDF has recently been experimenting with new genres). By all accounts, it was a solid progression for a music festival a decade-plus in existence.
But we regret to inform you that tragedy dampened the otherwise-upbeat mood on the event's first night. Suddenly, without warning, huge numbers of attendees found their shirts shrinking and even disappearing. Some tried to make do with makeshift replacements -- the effect seemed lessened for costumes and reflective materials. Veteran photographer Aaron Thackeary did not flinch, and we are able to bring you this report from Backbeat's reporters, supplemented by his photographs. A word of caution: This account contains images that may be upsetting to some of our readers, particularly the parents of teenage girls and office managers seeing this over the shoulders of their employees.

7:00 p.m. MST: There has been some shrinkage. We remain in high spirits. A stranger offers us candy and we accept, because we are highly susceptible to peer pressure. 7:20 p.m. MST: Suspicions are beginning to mount. The mysterious power has torn holes through a woman's shirt. She and a friend are trying to build a force field from a plastic hoop. We wish them luck and move on. 7:40 p.m. MST: We witness an attack firsthand. Helplessly, we watch as a festival patron is thrown against a nearby SUV. Her shirt will never survive. 8:01 p.m. MST: Fighters emerge as a new world order sets in. Knit clothing seems safe from harm, and we elect the discoverer of this defense Supreme Commander. 8:30 p.m. MST: Men seem to be affected in smaller numbers, but those who are lose their shirts completely. In their confusion, victims appropriate symbols of cultures that don't belong to them. The unseen attacker has a sick sense of humor. 8:34 p.m. MST: Sequins are discovered to deter the shirt-destroying force as well. We elect a Semi-Supreme Commander. 8:54 p.m. MST: Some people have now lost their shirts entirely. But they remain stoic. We're in this together. 9:24 p.m. MST: One man struggles against the bonds of his unnatural attire. Fight on, brave dance music fan. 11:20 p.m. MST: We are exhausted, but the attack seems to be over. Exposed midriffs litter the ampitheatre, but it could be worse. We have our tattoos and our bass drops and our pants and most importantly each other.

The Lies of Locke Lamora
If you like Venice, Rome, Oliver Twist, Shakespeare, the Renaissance, the Godfather films or Ocean's Eleven, this fantasy epic is for you. For readers hesitant to tackle longer books, or the fantasy genre in general, I can say without a doubt that Scott Lynch has written a masterful, instant classic -- an unequivocal accomplishment of world-building and detail that earns his mention in the same breath as Charles Dickens, George R.R. Martin and Tolkien.
The Lies of Locke Lamora showcases a clever blend of influences. Witty, bloody, and politically complex, Camorr is a place I had no problem losing my imagination in; an island-like city of gondola travel, hidden passages, mages and violent sea creatures, mysterious buildings of ancient glass, poverty, and a dash of magic that never gets in the way of the story. From the language, to the memorable characters, to the Italian-infused names of places and districts, the author composes an engrossing narrative with carefully structured flashbacks and foreshadowing. As one who is wary when reading fantasy, I devoured this book. It's well-paced for the patient reader who likes all the little things one would find in a well-researched historical fiction.
With fresh plot twists and a gritty edge, The Lies of Locke Lamora is one of the best books I've read in years.

Keywords: comparativists, downplay, monomyth, indistinguishable, extrinsically
form: A distinction between the theme or meaning of a myth, on the one hand, and the style or structure in which it is presented, on the other. Analysts who approach myths intrinsically tend to downplay this distinction, believing that form and content are interdependent and that style is ultimately indistinguishable from meaning; those who approach myths extrinsically tend to focus more on meaning--recurrent themes and images--and to subordinate the form of any given myth. However, the monomyth is a construct that allows comparativists to discuss both themes and formal properties of myths in terms of a generic template whose central features are recognizable despite numerous variations.

Revision as of 14:53, 1 April 2009
This page covers the VCS and git BoF's held at EclipseCon 2009. The git proposal was the result of these two BoF's.
Executive Summary: git Proposal
- Denis proposal: open 5 bugs: (current git bug depends on all of these - Bug 257706)
- (1) Bug 270860 Get the egit project underway - how to improve the egit plugin
- (2) Bug 270850 Startup a git repository to practice on the tooling (Martin?) - maybe a vserver at git.eclipse.org with someone else as root.
- (3) Bug 270852 How do we delete code in git?
- (a) Require CVS for parallel IP
- (b) Use two databases - tainted and blessed?
- (c) Keep track of deletes so they don't come back automatically
- (4) Bug 270854 Deprecate the old tools - timeline to remove the old tools. Denis doesn't mind have CVS around for a while because it's very low maintenance.
- (5) Bug 270856 Bounce the idea of a DVCS with the Eclipse legal team.
VCS BoF
- 24 March 2009 at EclipseCon
- Attendees (apologies for any omissions or errors)
- Alan Shutko (Express Scripts), Shawn Pearce (Google), Jack Repenning (CollabNet), Dennis Beasley (Alcatel-Lucent), Manuel Woelker (EclipseSource), Nick Crossley (IBM via telelogic), Doug Gaff (Wind River), Denis Roy (Eclipse Foundation), Karl Matthias (Eclipse Foundation), Scott Rosenbaum (Innovent Solutions), Cedric (Obeo), William Pierce (Obeo), another Obeo guy, Martin Oberhuber (Wind River)
- What do you use for VCS and what are you interested in?
- Alan: Moving company off of PVCS onto CVS.
- Shawn: everything, but git is his main thing. Perforce is used internally in Google. There is a git-P4 connector. wrapped PVCS in git, moved people to git.
- Dennis: SCCS customized, 4 Clearcase versions, Sublime (SCCS plus stuff), Perforce, some SVN
- Manuel: CVS, SVN, looking at git
- Nick: IBM synergy
- Jack: SVN
- Doug: CC, SVN, git, CVS
- Cedric: project lead of EMF compare
- William: model-to-model transformations
- Martin: git for E4
- General discussion
- Some discussion about parallel development and CVS's lack of support - I didn't capture anything intelligent.
- Why did RTC create another VCS? Nick: says they needed it because of the workflow model.
- Doug G: People need diff merge tools: binary comparisons, semantic merges.
- Jack: definition of binary needs more. Also, code beautification and encoding (UTF-8, shift-jis) also required. Semantic analysis could potentially be a black hole. How deep is the analysis?
- Manuel: don't worry as much about semantic merges. Unit tests, integration tests, and human reviews are still critical. VCS systems should be content agnostic, and merge systems should be content aware.
- Nick: I somewhat disagree. I certainly don't totally trust an automated merge tool, but you need a merge tool to make suggestions and needs some semantic analysis.
- Jack: Well yes, there will always be a harder case. Merge tools should make an attempt, and the tool should know when it can't make the semantic analysis correctly.
- Shawn: one of the social constructs of open source is that if your branch or patch doesn't apply correctly, compile, or pass unit tests, it goes back to the submitter for rework.
- Jack: yes, commercial companies often put the merge job onto someone else other than the developer.
- Git discussion
- Denis: please pick! We're open to git, but stop adding and adding.
- Alan: when will SVN merge well?
- Jack: work in progress! There's stuff in the pipeline, but 1.7 will not be everything that 2.0 wants to be.
- Manuel: the Eclipse support is what's making the SVN switch so hard. People switched to SVN early, and realized the Eclipse integration wasn't great. Tortoise SVN is great.
- Karl: The Eclipse community has to commit to the tooling for git!
- Martin: we can't throw out CVS easily. But we can do git without having the tooling right away.
- Nick: the licensing issues were a real issue with SVN.
- Martin: what pissed me off about SVN was performance. From Europe it was just bad, and the performance issue wasn't client-dependent.
- Shawn: we wanted Egit to be hosted on Eclipse.org, which is why it's BSD licensed. But the plug-in is far from complete, and I need some help from the community.
- Denis: 12 or so projects are on SVN. Almost all the new ones that come up go to SVN.
- Manuel: well, the newer projects might be willing to switch to git.
- Denis: IP process: we have the requirement to permanently delete code. Easy in CVS. Hard in SVN. We have separate repositories on SVN to minimize downtime.
- Shawn: described how this is done in git. But how late is this being identified? Are there ways to avoid code being even submitted.
- Karl: the projects have hugely different social norms, and some projects aren't as good at the IP process.
- Martin: well, as today's keynote said, shit happens. You just can't prevent it.
- Doug: parallel IP process.
- Martin: perhaps libraries in parallel IP could go into a temporary repository.
- Nick: well SVN obliterate command should be coming. Why bend the process for this?
- Denis: force parallel IP into CVS until it's approved. CVS is the easiest to blow away.
- Doug: does this parallel IP process make git more palatable?
- Denis: it makes it less un-palatable. Look, the issue is having too many choices for VCS. It's hard for newcomers.
- (Discussion about complexity of revision control when multiple repositories are required to build a project. No good notes from me.)
- Denis: "did I say fuck yet?"
- Scott R: everyone is acknowledging that there are better systems than CVS. Don't we need to accept some pain so we don't get left behind?
- Martin: yes, and we're encouraging some people to move forward. We have to improve the tooling by experimentation. We need to experiment with git, too.
- Denis: you don't need me for that.
- Manuel: well, for CVS import, we need everyone on one server.
- Decision to adjourn and continue the discussion in the git BoF the following night.
git BoF
- 3/25/2009 at EclipseCon
- Attendees and "Why are you here?" question.
- Manuel: CVS is the cobol of source control management. I'd really like to have git at the foundation.
- Ketan: Similar to what Manuel.
- Windel: SVN admin. Using perforce now. Trying to find out about git.
- Philippe: CVS doesn't work in our company. Bad habits working around CVS. Lack of branching.
- Andy: Using SVN, but not happy.
- Tim: Their team is still on CVS. Trying to determine whether to skip SVN and go straight to git.
- Karl: webmaster
- Denis: webmaster
- Daniel: don't like CVS. Where is eclispe going?
- Boris: work for IBM. Originally helped build CVS plugin in eclipse.
- Shawn: original author of current eclipse plugin for git.
- Alex: git BoF.
- Late arrival - I didn't get the name.
- Discussion about getting patches in and release cycles.
- Manuel commented about having to maintain patches moving forward.
- Git is being proposed as a way to maintain a patch for a long time until the community has time to review it.
- git
- Denis: it's clear that the contributors want git, but how do the committers feel?
- Boris: well, I trust CVS. I don't think we can move to git until we have stronger tooling.
- Karl: consensus from yesterday: the foundation wants to give you the tools you need. It seems like the easiest thing for us to use is to pick a version control system to migrate off of onto git. But we need good tooling to support this. We need to get people helping with the tooling first, though. It's a hard sell to projects without the tooling.
- 20 projects using SVN (corrected from yeserday)
- Karl: "I think git is sweet"
- egit plugin
- Egit is the plugin, jgit is the library.
- Egit is EPL, jgit is BSD and will need EDL to be hosted at eclipse.org or will need to go to orbit. Prefer EDL. Doug G offered to help Shawn with the Dual Licensing discussion.
- Some discussion about egit project proposal status.
- Dennis made the proposal that appears at the top of this page.

Mariah Carey Finally Got Her Hot Tea on New Year's Eve
January 2, 2018
By Scott T. Sterling Rest easy, Mariah Carey fans. She finally got her hot tea. Carey made a splash at this year's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest when she paused after singing her 1990 hit, "Vision of Love" to request some hot tea in the frigid New York cold. Related: Mariah Carey Honored as 'Angel for Animals' by PETA "I just want to take a sip of tea if they'll let me — they told me there would be tea," the singer quipped. "Oh, it's a disaster. Okay, well we'll just have to rough it. I'm going to be just like everybody else with no hot tea." While Carey was tea-free onstage, the legendary singer enjoyed a hot cup after the show, and shared the moment on Instagram with an appropriately glamorous photo. "Found my tea!," she captioned the post, still wearing the furry white coat she sported during the performance. See the fabulous photo below.

I like to pound on AT&T when given the chance, but I can't justifiably rag them over iPocalypse. Apple dropped the ball when the iTunes servers crashed from everyone and their mother trying to update their first gen and/or activate the 3G model. They didn't even bother sending out a release over the matter, which is sort of a PR no-no, IMO. But what else is new these days? Walt ragged on MobileMe earlier and for good reason. It stinks. Apple has a big fat FAIL rating at the moment. I've grown ever so close to my iP3G and barely ever touch my beloved BlackBerry anymore. However, it's not all puppies and rainbows. The transition from 3G to EDGE and back is horrendous. But I won't go any further then that.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, the iPhone 3G shortage. Wherever you go it seems that the iP3G is sold out and, let's face it, cheaper hardware will do that sort of thing, but AT&T stores are a barren wasteland compared to Apple stores. Again, not their fault since Apple hordes them, but today they've gone ahead and updated their press site with info on inventory.
We've seen incredible demand for iPhone 3G since it launched — and subsequently sold out — on July 11. Many customers have opted to purchase iPhone 3G through direct fulfillment, which lets them purchase the device at their convenience and return to the store to pick it up as soon as it arrives in to the store. For those customers who have ordered through direct fulfillment, and have not yet received their iPhone 3G, here's a quick update on our current inventory:
* As of July 23, direct fulfillment customers are receiving their iPhone 3G, on average, 13 or 14 days following purchase.
* Delivery times vary based on the specific model a customer chooses (8 GB, 16 GB white, 16 GB black).
AT&T handles direct fulfillment on a first-come, first-served basis, giving everyone an opportunity for stress-free shopping. As we receive new inventory from Apple, we are shipping it out immediately to fill customers' orders. We hope to begin re-stocking our stores as soon as we can, but first priority goes to those customers who purchased through direct fulfillment.
Looks like I found a reason to rag on you, AT&T. It's nice that you've updated the site regarding the iP3G shortage and all, but it's sort of "whatever" if you don't have a stock tracker for your chain of stores like Apple does. Look across the pond at O2 and take some notes. They've included a list of stores that have them in stock and update it daily. But hey, at least you're trying. I can't say the same for Apple.
Guess I didn't think this one through all the way.
