Collaborative writing - Collaborative writing The terms collaborative writing and peer collaboration refer to projects where written works are created by many people together (collaboratively) rather than individually. Collaborative writing projects include: H2G2 Everything2 The International Writing Exchange The Linux documentation project Wikipedia and many other wikis Some collaborative writing projects are also open content..
Jean-Michel Basquiat - from his street existence, such as automobiles, buildings, police, children's sidewalk, games and graffiti. A middle period from late 1982 to 1985 features multipanel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and seemingly unrelated imagery. These works reveal a strong interest in Basquiat´s black and Hispanic identity and his identification with historical and contemporary black figures and events. The last phase, from about 1986 to Basquiat´s death in 1988, displays a new type of figurative depiction, in a new painterly style, with different symbols, sources, and content. He was a close friend of Andy Warhol, and the two made a number of collaborative works. Basquiat became addicted to heroin, and died of an overdose..
H2G2 - of September 12th, 2003, the Edited Guide consisted of 5832 Entries. From September 22nd, 2003, new entries will be added at a rate of at least 10 per week. Peer Review On h2g2, entries are peer reviewed by any members of the community who feel like spending a little time reading and commenting. Some of these may be specialists on the topic, but generally most are not. Therefore it becomes obvious whether the average Researcher can understand an Entry, but does mean that mistakes can slip into the Edited Guide. Once an entry has been picked by a Scout (see later) and leaves Peer Review, it can no longer be modified or updated by its author. However, the author can still update the unedited version, which remains in the wider unedited.
Everything2 - guide for Everything2 noders. Everything2, or E2 for short, is a large collaborative Internet community, currently at www.everything2.com.

With non-alphabetic languages, it may be different. The order in a dictionary with ideographic entries such as Chinese character is often troublesome and controversial because each character has different readings. Collation systems for logographs do exist. In Japanese and Korean, words containing Chinese characters (called Kanji in Japanese and Hanja in Korean) can be spelled in Hiragana and Hangeul respectively, and so are inserted in their proper alphabetical order in dictionaries, alongside words.
Diabetes mellitus - because of osmotic effects - excess glucose from the blood is eventually excreted by the kidneys but this causes fluid loss, which must be replaced. Dangerous signs to watch out for include the smell of acetone on the patient's breath (a sign of ketoacidosis), Kussmaul breathing (rapid, deep breathing), and any altered state of consciousness or arousal (hostility and mania are both possible, as is confusion), the worst form of which is the so-called "diabetic coma". Early symptoms are polyuria, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, with lethargy and somnolence a later development, progressing to unconsciousness and coma if untreated. Diabetic ketoacidosis Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a complication of diabetes, particularly of Type I diabetes and is an absolute medical emergency. It arises from excess fat breakdown and the production of fatty.
Anti-copyright - distorted or destroyed in any manner whatsoever without further attribution or notice to the creator. Most people would regard "anti-copyright" notices as being equivalent to a dedication of material into the public domain (as in the second example above). Some of these disclaimers, however, are less accurate and need to be interpreted individually as the term anti-copyright has no accepted legal meaning. For example, if just free distribution is encouraged, modification or lack of atribution is still illegal, making the material ineligible for collaborative writing projects like Wikipedia. In such a case anti-copyright is not a true denial of copyright, but just a modification of the protection it affords copyright holders. Anti-copyright movement The opposition to copyright law per se is not strictly limited to anarchists. The term "infoanarchism" was coined.
Anything Goes - a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The "book" was a collaborative effort by Guy Bolton, P.G. Wodehouse, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It introduced such songs as "You're the Top" and "Anything Goes". Anything Goes was based on an idea by a producer, Vinton Freedley, who was living on a boat in Panama, having left the USA to avoid his debts. He selected the writing team, and the star, Ethel Merman. As the show was in preparation, a passenger ship, the SS Morro Castle, sank and over 125 passengers were drowned The plot, which concerned a shipwreck, was deemed insensitive, and the show was largely rewritten. The resulting story was that of a nightclub singer, Reno Sweeney, played by Merman. The show opened at the Alvin Theatre, New.

British Broadcasting Corporation - the BBC launched the World Service Television (WSTV) news and information channel, which was renamed BBC World in January 1995. Unlike its World Service radio counterpart, WSTV was commercially funded, and carried advertising, which meant that it could not be broadcast in the UK. The Corporation's UK news service, called News 24, was not launched until November 1997. In August 1998, the BBC's domestic TV channels became available on Sky Digital's satellite service. An unintended consequence of this was that people in the rest of Europe could now watch BBC1 and 2, using viewing cards from the UK, as the signal was encrypted for rights reasons. This even applied within the UK: people in England could not watch BBC channels from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, or vice versa. On 20.
W. S. Gilbert - known as the Bab Ballads. In 1863, he wrote his first professional play, Uncle Baby, which ran for seven weeks. This represented his only dramatic success until 1866 when he had a burlesque and a pantomime produced. The following year, he married Lucy Agnes Turner. Following their marriage, he began to turn his attention more and more to writing for the stage and directing his work so that it would resemble his vision. Gilbert became a stickler that his actors interpret his work only in the manner he desired. In 1871, John Hollingshead commissioned Gilbert to work with Sullivan to create the operetta Thespis for the Gaiety Theatre. This proved to be a false start in the men's collaborative efforts. It would be another four years before the men worked together.
Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius - que se bifurcan (The Garden of Forking Paths). That entire book was, in turn, included within his much-reprinted Ficciones (1944). The first published English-language translation was by James E. Irby, in the April 1961 issue of New World Writing, included in 1962 as the first piece in a diverse collection of Borges works entitled Labyrinths. Almost simultaneously, and independently, the piece was translated by Alastair Reed as part of a collaborative translation of the entirety of Ficciones published in 1962. The Reed translation is reprinted in Borges, a Reader (1981, ISBN 0525466547). Quotations in this article follow that translation. Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers. The following summary is by no means complete - "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" is an intricately layered story - but it does give away plot twists. Like many.
Tool - tool, straightedge, ruler, tire iron, scissors, wrenches. Power tools such as crusher, drill, paper shredder, power grader, wire bonder, wood router. Heat-based tools such as soldering irons, welding torches and thermic lances Eating utensils such as chopsticks, fork, knife, spoon. Writing instruments such as ballpoint pen, brush, fountain pen, pencil, quill, stylus. Measuring instruments Special use tools: Buggy whip, Ox goad, dildo, vibrator Other household implements such as backscratcher, bottle opener, can opener, fan, fly swatter, syringe, toothbrush. An instrument is a concrete or abstract tool, in particular a refined one. Toy tools are popular. Some are essentially similar to the real thing, and just a cheap and/or small version, for example a shovel and bucket to use on the beach and in the sandbox. Others are less functional, e.g. a.
Tom Raworth - in the United States and Mexico, teaching in a number of universities. He returned to England in 1977 to take up the post of resident poet in King's College, Cambridge. His early poetry showed the influences of the Black Mountain and New York School poets, particularly Robert Creeley and John Ashbery. His 1974 book Ace saw Raworth move to a more disjunctive style, built from short, unpunctuated lines that entice the reader into following multiple syntactic possibilities, as they knit together everything from observations of the everyday to self-reflexive commentary on the acts of thinking and writing, to affectionate lifts from pulp fiction and film noir, to political satire. A series of long poems in this mode followed--after Ace came Writing (composed 1975-77; published 1982), Catacoustics (composed 1978-81; published 1991) and.
Sheldon Rampton - two years in Japan as a Latter-day Saint (LDS) missionary from 1976 to 1978. Upon returning to the United States, however, he left the LDS Church, influenced in part by Mormon feminist Sonia Johnson. As an undergraduate student at Princeton University, Rampton studied writing under Joyce Carol Oates, E.L. Doctorow and John McPhee. Upon graduation in 1982, Rampton worked as a newspaper reporter before becoming a peace activist. During the 1980s and 1990s, he worked closely with the Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua (WCCN), which opposed the Reagan administration's military interventions in Central America and works to promote economic development, human rights, and mutual friendship between the people of the United States and Nicaragua. At WCCN, Rampton helped establish the Nicaraguan Credit Alternatives Fund (NICA Fund) in 1992, which channels loans.
Weblog - more knowledge. Additionally, it may reduce the ease of creating and editing text for travellers, some of whom like to produce their travelblogs from Internet cafes as they travel around the globe. Many blogging tools have also been developed to improve the blogging experience, with commonly used ones providing blogrolls and feedback comment systems. Well known examples of these are blogrolling and the commenting system HaloScan. Tools such as w.bloggar allow users to maintain their Web hosted blog without the need to use the (generally somewhat slower) Web based editing tools. Fundamental enhancements to weblog technology continue to be developed. The most intriguing one, generating growing interest in 2003, is Movable Type's trackback feature which enables automatic notification between websites of related content such as a post on a particular topic.
Performance poetry - repetition, alliteration, rhyme and kennings to facilitate memorisation and recall. The performer "composed" the poem from memory, using the version they had learned as a kind of mental template. This process allowed the performer to add their own flavour to the poem in question, although fidelity to the traditional versions of the poems was generally favoured. The Advent of Literacy The introduction of writing had had a number of consequences for the composition and transmission of poetry. One of these was that the oral poems, or at least the most popular of them, tended to be written down. Another was that poetry now tended to be written for, rather than composed during, performance. This kind of poetry was common through the Middle Ages in, for instance, the work of the troubadors.

Motivation - data, brain activity in children is much higher than in adults, making early influences critical for motivation in later life. This is crucial to the understanding of motivation as well. Different people can generate positive emotional responses from different actions. Mathematicians may be able to enjoy dealing with complex formulas, programmers feel the same way about computer code, musicians may feel "in tune with themselves" when composing or playing, and so forth. Given the above knowledge about the early programming of the human brain, and given that memories are encoded together with emotions, it must be concluded that at least part of these different emotional responses are generated during childhood. A child who grows up watching television but not reading any books may find it difficult in later life to be.
