JAL 328 H1S - Writing Systems 2003

This course examines the nature of writing and its relationship to language. We look at the major writing systems of the world from four perspectives:

a. History b. Internal structure c. Relation to the language d. Sociolinguistics

For example, for Chinese, we will look at

The earliest history of Chinese writing (oracle-bone inscriptions). Some of the major calligraphic styles of Chinese writing over the ages. The relationship of Chinese writing to the language (essentially, each syllable is written with one character, and different morphemes are written differently). How many characters there are in Chinese. How characters are ordered in a dictionary. How borrowed words are written with characters. Traditional and simplified (20th century) forms of characters. The role of writing in Chinese society, e.g., the Civil Service Examinations. The borrowing of Chinese characters to write Japanese and Korean.

Metacommunity

A metacommunity is a community of communities. The term Community has a predicate form — communicate.

Communications
Most people understand that Communication is essentially the use of language and common contexts to carry on some sort of conversation. In a community context, this interaction expands to envolve also transaction and the sharing of spaces (both virtual and physical), goods, services, ideas, designs, strategies, and a host of other things, some tangible and some abstract and intangible. A metacommunity, especially one that exists in the virtual world of the Internet, communicates on a new level within "cyberspace". This "reality" is new in Human experience, but has parallels in the Ancient World since writing began. Seeing communication as a predicate form for community is a key concept in understanding what a metacommunity is and what it can become.

Later on in this module, we will take a look at examples of metacommunities and try to figure out who and what comprises them, how they are formed and maintained and where they may take Humanity in the future. This module places itself within a university context that exists inside of an actual metacommunity that takes on the name of its host – The Wikimedia Foundation. See the lower left-hand corner of this page.

Virtual communities
From Phantom authority, self–selective recruitment and retention of members in virtual communities: The case of Wikipedia by Andrea Ciffolilli:
 * Virtual communities are one of the building platforms of the so–called "new economy." Basically, they are associations of people able to meet and interact voluntarily on a network such as the Internet. A virtual community can be considered a potentially extraordinary new social structure in the sense that appears capable of guaranteeing unique outcomes in voluntary association. It cancels spatial distances and allows finding like–minded individuals outside the physical boundary of a circumscribed geographical area without modifying the basic principles governing voluntary association. So far, we have witnessed the outstanding effectiveness of virtual communities, especially in the creation of software; however, several other purposes can be reached by means of these organizations — from political mobilization to the production of several kinds of public or club goods.

Here, Ciffolilli's reference to public or club goods relates to the body of works comprising Wikipedia. What we want to do in this module is to extend the discussion to include a wider context that includes all of the Wikimedia Foundation projects, including Wikiversity. In the university context, in contrast to the encyclopedic context, self-referencing is for the most part acceptable. Defining Wikiversity as the research branch of the Wikimedia Metacommunity initiallizes a process of analysis and a course of study from within the subject of study – a Virtual community of practice.

Extending the context even further, we can include the aggregation of all of the community entities comprising what can be called the Open Source metacommunity including other foundations such as the Apache group, the Perl Foundation and the Mozilla Foundation. We shall examine the shared principles and language of this "potentially extraordinary new social structure" from both subjective and objective vantage points as Wikiversity participants.

Shared principles
Perhaps the most unique aspect of the open source movement is the adaptation and proliferation of the principle of giving and sharing. Contributors to Wikipedia, for example, understand that their efforts are without monetary compensation. The practice of rendering service in these circumstances is enigmatic to more conventional economic mindsets. The proprietary corporate world is many times at a loss to fathom why people would allow themselves to voluntarily forfeit their "intellectual property rights" to artifacts added to the cumulative content of a public Internet. This may be the core principle that establishes the open source movement as a viable metacommunity.

Other principles contribute to the cohesiveness of a growing movement. Another example of a binding principle is the new way of thinking about content and context. In the Wikipedia context, contributors understand that encyclopedic works must follow the established definition of what an encyclopedia is. Ciffolilli's "Phantom authority" idea suggests that the Wikipedia community is "ruled" by this priciple, thus an ever-increasing quality and quantity of encyclopedic content is added to the cumulative value of the Internet as a whole. The success of Wikipedia proves that money, in fact does NOT make the world go around.

The corporate mainstream, conversely, has a growing presence on the Internet. The argument can be made that the "business community" is also a metacommunity, but driven by a different set of principles. The idea that the Internet is itself a platform for a "new economy" has added to both vertical and horizontal dimensions of Human enterprise. Subjectively, Wikiversity takes on a role within the Wikimedia metacommunity context and the larger Internet context as a part of a "new economic form" dedicated to accumulating and presenting knowledge to an Internet public free of charge. This practice is antithetical to the principles of the corporate mainstream paradigm. How these two paradigms will interact is a subject in itself and a forum for an ongoing debate. Let's take a look...

Lab: Adding value to public goods
Our definition of the metacommunity asserts that Wikiversity has a relationship with Wikipedia in that both are members of a larger community, Wikimedia. This lab's purpose is to demonstrate how Wikiversity can use the university context to augment the encyclopedic context by increasing the value of a public good, namely the Wikipedia article – Open source vs. closed source. Furthermore, The Wikimedia metacommunity can assert its own position, through proof, in the wider debate described in the article, but existant on the larger Internet.

From within the university context, we can take a side on the issue and the basis for our bias is understood. This lab is to allow the Wikiversity participant to practice the principle of traversing contexts by being able to move to and from the encyclopedic to the universal and back.

Challenge: See and help improve Open source vs. closed source: Discussion: Use the talk page to help formulate Wikiversity's "official position" in the Open source vs. closed source debate.
 * The neutrality of this article is disputed.
 * This article is not written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.
 * Some information in this article or section has not been verified and may not be reliable.

Shared language
Planet-wide community-building depends upon multilingualism and faithful translation. The Transwiki-versity project has been established to help. You can help by tracking down relevance and linking contexts in your own creative style. Countless languages are used on Planet Earth but a few have become dominant for some reason or other.

Challenge
Use the Multilingual worksheet to faithfully represent and discover what your native tongue has in common with others and what it has to offer in terms of culture that is unique and interesting to "foriegners". Participate in the Hello! project.

Little Things (poem)

"Little Things" is a 19th-century poem by Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney, written in Boston, Massachusetts.

History
In 1845, when studying phonography in Stephen Pearl Andrews' and Augustus F. Boyle's class, Boston, Carney was asked to give an impromptu exercise on the blackboard. Only ten minutes were allowed, and in that time, she wrote the first verse of "Little Things". It became a favorite of children in Sunday school exhibitions from that time on, and was recited and sung thousands of times. It was first published in a Sunday school paper, Gospel Teacher (renamed, Myrtle).

Soon after her phonographic poem was published, it appeared in the Methodist Sunday-School Advocate, with an additional verse about missionary pennies, to which she laid no claim.

This poem came to be published uncredited as a children's rhyme and hymn in many 19th century magazines and books, sometimes attributed to Ebenezer Cobham Brewer, Daniel Clement Colesworthy, or Frances S. Osgood, but the earliest publications of it clearly are those of Carney. A later final verse read: "Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our pleasant earth below Like the heaven above."

This was quoted in Hanson's Our Woman Workers: Biographical Sketches of Women Eminent in the Universalist Church for Literary, Philanthropic and Christian Work (1881) These were the final words of the poem in the original publication, but later versions published anonymously by other authors appended various additions to this. It has also often appeared credited to Carney in a variant form: "Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Help to make earth happy Like the heaven above."

Cultural reference
"Little Things" was parodied by Gelett Burgess in his poem "Tidiness" in Goops and How to Be Them, A Manual of Manners for Polite Infants (1908): "Little scraps of paper, Little crumbs of food, Make a room untidy Everywhere they're strewed."

The first verse appears in the song "Reason Enough" on Andreas Vollenweider's album Eolian Minstrel, sung by Eliza Gilkyson.

Frank Monte

Frank Monte (June 21, 1931 in South Philadelphia – May 13, 1982 in South Philadelphia) was a member of the Philadelphia crime family. When Nicodemo Scarfo became boss, he named Monte as his consigliere. When Harry Riccobene refused to accept Scarfo as boss, the "Riccobene War" ensued. In 1979 Testa, Salvatore (Chuckie) Merlino, and Robert (Bobby) Lumio murdered 31-year-old drug dealer Michael (Coco) Cifelli. He was murdered for selling drugs to the son of Frank Monte, a capo from Cinnaminson Township, New Jersey. Frank served under Phil Testa and later Nicky Scarfo. He oversaw illegal gambling operations in Atlantic City and New Jersey for the crime family. Michael Cifelli was gunned down by Testa and Salvatore (Chuckie) Merlino as he was talking on the phone in a telephone booth just inside a bar, Priori's, at 10th and Wolf Streets in the Point Breeze, Philadelphia. Monte was later promoted to be consigliere in 1981 by Nicky Scarfo. Monte was murdered by a sniper rifle in 1982 on the orders of Riccobene. When the killers were arrested, they agreed to cooperate with law enforcement for lighter prison sentences. The men testified for the prosecution that Riccobene ordered them to kill Monte. Riccobene was convicted of the murder in 1984 and sentenced to life in prison.

Khlibnyi Dar

Khlibnyi Dar (Хлібний Дар, literally "Bread Gift"), also transliterated as Hlibny Dar, Hlebnyi Dar or Hlebny Dar, is a brand of horilka (Ukrainian vodka), first introduced to the market in 2002. It is owned by the Bayadera Group (Баядера Груп), produced in a factory of the National Horilka Company (Національна горілчана компанія) in the village of Stepanky (Степанки) in the Cherkasy Oblast of Ukraine. All products from the Khlibnyi Dar range are made through the distillation of fermented cereal grains, which is the most popular ingredient for making vodka in the Polish and Ukrainian tradition. According to The Millionaires’ Club report, Khlibnyi Dar was the third-best-selling brand of vodka in the world in 2011.

Variants
The original recipe from the Khlibnyi Dar brand comes in 1.75, 1, 0.7, 0.5, 0.37, 0.2 and 0.1 litre bottles, though this varies with each flavour. All types of this horilka are pure vodka made from cereal grains, but some come with small additions or differences in production that change the taste slightly. In total, there are six varieties of this distilled beverage:
 * Хлібний Дар (Класична) - Khlibnyi Dar (Classic); the original and most popular type, made from wheat, rye and barley
 * Хлібний Дар (Пшенична) - Khlibnyi Dar (Wheat); made from wheat and artesian water
 * Хлібний Дар (на пророщеному зерні) - Khlibnyi Dar (on sprouted grain); uses extracts of germinated seeds

Guitar/Picking and Plucking

There are two major methods of right hand (for right handed players) techniques namely, either by using a pick (also called a plectrum) or fingers. The plectrum is very common in rock, country and pop music, where it is considered convenient for strumming and louder guitar sound. Use of fingers is most common among classical guitarists and flamenco players, as combination of strings better executed using the right hand fingers, and generally have softer sound than the pick. Other than classical guitarists and flamenco players, use of a pick or fingers is a matter of personal preference.

Using a pick
The primary advantages of the pick are its speed, its ease of striking large chords and, because the fingernails and fingertips are not involved, its preservation of player's picking hand. Furthermore, use of a pick makes a louder and brighter sound. Its primary disadvantage is its imprecision, making muting strings necessary. Also, if the player wishes to switch to the tapping style, he or she can tap with or with out the pick: to tap with the pick just put it on its side and tap it on the desired fret. However, tapping with a pick makes it harder to tap on multiple strings.

Finger Strumming
Players wishing not to use a pick may try finger strumming. This is accomplished by holding the picking hand's first finger to the thumb, much as one might hold a pick, and striking the strings with the first fingernail. Another way is to do all down strokes with the thumb and all upstrokes with the index finger; like one is 'petting' the strings.

Apoyando Strikes
Apoyando, or splinter rested, involves the finger picking through a string such that the finger stops when resting on the next string. This technique produces a strong, loud tone, and is considered the opposite of Tirando.

Tirando Strikes
When performing a tirando, or shooting splinter strike, the finger does not affect the next string at all. This is the opposite of apoyando.

Fingerpicking
Fingerpicking is a method of playing the guitar where you use your thumb and at least one other finger to pick or pluck notes, using your fingernails, fingerpicks or fingertips. Talented players can use all five fingers on their picking hand, but many players only use four fingers and use their pinky finger as a brace on the guitar. Most classical guitarists alter the shape of their picking hand fingernails for the purpose of producing a desired sound, however this is not necessary in non-classical music; one can purchase fingerpicks to fit on the hand.

Generally fingerpicking involves picking through chords organized in a melody. Fingerpicking is used extensively in folk guitar and classical guitar, but it is also common in other genres.

Fingerpicking is surprisingly easy on an electric guitar, which is strange because fingerpicking is often regarded as an acoustic style. The player may hold his or her picking hand's fourth finger against the right edge (left edge on a left-handed guitar), and if it is held straight and steady, this technique may be used to brace the hand. This technique is called anchoring, and is frowned upon by some players. It is possible on acoustic guitars by using the bridge similarly, but this is not as effective as it will deaden the sound. Classical guitarists never anchor while playing.

When strumming with individual fingers, general rule is move the wrist only if the thumb is used, while if any other finger is used, only said finger will be used.

When you start trying to learn, your finger coordination will be terrible and it is easy to be discouraged. It takes several weeks to let your muscles develop, but if you practice using all your fingers at once your overall dexterity will increase much faster.

Classical picking
In classical guitar repertoire, there will be a "PIMA" marking for the picking hand fingers (right hand for right handed players), which indicate which finger to use: These four are the ones that are used most frequently. Sometimes, the fourth finger is used, in which it is marked either C, X or E.
 * Pulgar, or thumb.
 * Indice, or index finger.
 * Medio, or middle finger.
 * Anular, or ring finger.

Typically, the thumb has a down-picking motion and the fingers have an up-picking motion.

Clawhammer and frailing
Clawhammer, sometimes known as frailing, is a method generally used with the five-string banjo and is characteristic of traditional Appalachian folk music of the U.S. It is primarily a down-picking style, and the hand assumes a claw-like shape and the strumming finger is kept fairly stiff, striking the strings by the motion of the hand at the wrist and elbow, rather than a flicking motion by the finger. Typically, only the thumb and second or first finger are used and the finger always downpicks, flicking the string with the back of the fingernail.

A common characteristic of clawhammer patterns is the thumb does not pick on the downbeat, as one might in typical finger-picking patterns for guitar. For example, this is a common, basic time signature|2/4 pattern:
 * 1) Pick a melody note on the downbeat (quarter note)
 * 2) On the second beat (music)|beat, strum a few strings with your strumming finger or brush with all fingers (roughly an eighth note)
 * 3) Immediately following (on the second half of this beat), pick a note with the thumb, usually the shorter fifth string. (roughly an eighth note)

Here, the thumb plays the high drone (fifth string) on the second "and" of "one and two and". This combined with the second finger strumming provides a characteristic "bum-ditty bum-ditty" sound.

Some people, however, make a distinction between frailing and clawhammer:
 * In frailing, the first fingertip is used for up-picking melody, and the second fingernail is used for rhythmic downward brushing.
 * In clawhammer, only downstrokes are used, and they are typically played with one fingernail as is the usual technique on the banjo.

Travis Picking
Another well known style of finger picking is called Travis picking, named after Merle Travis who was a country singer known for his legendary picking skills. When picking, you use your thumb and first finger to hit notes at the same time, creating a double stop or interval, and then continue picking with the first finger. Usually the thumb is responsible for picking the bass line, while the first/second finger is for melody. Skilled players can carry two separate melodies with the upper and lower strings.

You can create impressive rhythms playing with just your thumb and first finger, but to really become talented you must practice using more fingers. For example, Chet Atkins expanded to use all three fingers, with thumb for bass line.

Rasgueado
The rasgueado or splinter striking technique originated from Spanish flamenco music, and usually refers to three or four fingers and sometimes the thumb striking the strings in quick succession. The notes quickly follow one another and produce a "rattling" or cascading effect.

Scruggs style
Scruggs-style finger-picking is a syncopated, five-string banjo style used in bluegrass music. It is played with thumb, first and second fingers; the fourth and/or third fingers are typically braced against the head of the instrument. The strings are picked rapidly in repetitive sequences or rolls; the same string is not typically picked twice in succession. Melody notes are interspersed among arpeggios, and musical phrases typically contain long series of staccato notes, often played at very rapid tempos. The music is generally syncopated, and may have a subtle swing or shuffle feel, especially on mid-tempo numbers. The result is lively, rapid music, which lends itself both as an accompaniment to other instruments and as a solo.

Scruggs style picking was popularized by Earl Scruggs in the early 1940's in rural North Carolina.

Tapping
Tapping is a style of playing where notes are created by quickly pressing, or tapping, the string down on the fret that you want to play. Usually tapping involves both hands, and most often it is on an electric guitar. It is possible to tap on an acoustic, but you cannot hear the notes as clearly as on an electric.

Paul Bäumer

 * This article deals with Paul Bäumer the pilot. For the fictional Paul Bäumer, see All Quiet on the Western Front. For the late member of electronic music group Bingo Players, see Bingo Players

Paul Wilhelm Bäumer (11 May 1896 – 15 July 1927) was a German fighter ace in World War I.

Background
Bäumer was born on 11 May 1896 in Duisburg, Germany. He was a dental assistant before World War I, and earned a private pilot's license by Summer 1914.

Involvement in World War I
At the start of the war, he joined the 70th Infantry Regiment. He served in both France and Russia, being wounded in the arm in the latter. He then transferred to the air service as a dental assistant before being accepted for military pilot training.

By October 1916, he was serving as a ferry pilot and instructor at Armee Flugpark 1. On 19 February 1917, he was promoted to Gefreiter. On 26 March, he was assigned to Flieger Abteilung 7; he was promoted to Unteroffizier on the 29th.

On 15 May 1917, he was awarded the Iron Cross Second Class. He subsequently received training on single-seaters, consequently being posted to fighter duty. Bäumer joined Jagdstaffel 5 on 30 June 1917, scoring three victories as a balloon buster in mid-July before going to the elite Jasta Boelcke.

Bäumer claimed heavily, reaching 18 victories by year end. He was commissioned in April 1918. On 29 May Bäumer was injured in a crash, breaking his jaw, and he returned to the Jagdstaffel in September. With the arrival of the Fokker D.VII he claimed even more success, including 16 in September. Nicknamed "The Iron Eagle", he flew with a personal emblem of an Edelweiss on his aircraft. He was one of the few pilots in World War I whose lives were saved by parachute deployment, when he was shot down in flames in September. He received the Pour le Mérite shortly before the Armistice and was finally credited with 43 victories, ranking ninth among German aces.

Post-War career
After the war, Bäumer worked briefly in the dockyards before he became a dentist, and reportedly one of his patients, Erich Maria Remarque, used Bäumer's name for the protagonist of his antiwar novel All Quiet on the Western Front.

Continuing his interest in flying, he founded his own aircraft company in Hamburg. Bäumer died in an air crash at Copenhagen on 15 July 1927, age 31, while test flying a Rohrbach Ro IX fighter, Rohrbach's test pilot had already been involved in a spinning accident, and Bäumer, acting as a freelance test pilot, continued the testing and died after the aircraft entered a spin and crashed in the Øresund.

Constant Wauters

Constant Wauters (born 25 April 1889) was a Belgian colonial official. He was commissioner of Lusambo Province in the Belgian Congo from 1 October 1933 to 17 August 1940.

Life
Constant Joseph Antoine Wauters was born on 25 April 1889. He entered the colonial service on 29 September 1910.

In 1927 Wauters was urban commissioner of Léopoldville. He was concerned that the slum-like Cité Indigène was too close to the European town, and potentially a source of disease. He proposed four related policies for African townships: they should be separated from the European quarters by a "neutral zone"; sanitation should be provided for; they should be compact rather than fragmented; and they should adhere to standard construction approaches. Wauters favored having all the houses built by one firm rather than leaving it up to the residents, but did not want the government directly involved in construction of housing. Wauters was named Commissaire général assistant to the governor of the province of Congo-Kasaï on 1 April 1930. On 4 June 1931 Wauters temporarily assumed the role of governor of Congo-Kasai in place of Joseph Beernaert, who was temporarily replacing Governor General Auguste Tilkens. Due to disturbances among the African population, Wauters asked for reinforcements and changed the stature of the Kikwit and Kandale territories from Occupation to Police Operation. Wauters was active in directing the forces of Congo-Kasaï as the revolt of the Pende people progressed. Order had been restored by September 1931.

The administrative reform of 1933 rearranged the four original provinces into six new provinces, created a single deputy governor general, and removed this title from the heads of the provinces, who were now called provincial commissioners. Wauters was among them. On 1 October 1933 he succeeded Paul Ermens, governor of Congo-Kasaï, as commissioner of the new province of Lusambo, which was formed from the eastern part of Congo-Kasaï, a small part of Equateur Province and the Lomami District of Katanga Province. He left office on 11 September 1940 and was succeeded by R. Wenner.

In 1949 Wauters published a 384-page book L'ésotérie des Noirs dévoilée about the Bukishi of the Basonge people living along the Lomami River. His main interest was in the secret knowledge of the Bukishi rather than their sociological function. He saw their doctrine as being concerned with understanding and experiencing the ultimate reality as a vital force, and interpreted their texts in terms of symbolic meaning, but he left in doubt the authenticity of this interpretation.

Excessive listing
This is a ludicrously excessive list of TV appearances for such a minor broadcaster. Not even Terry Wogan has this many entries and he was on TV far more often than Hamilton. Every single appearance seems to have been listed, even if it was just one line or a fleeting glimpse. It really needs to be pared down. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:12, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually I found it useful, given his varied career but I was unable to find enough information here on his voiceover work such as The Avengers season 1 reconstructions for Canal+, and presentation of live events like the Kaleidoscope events. 2A00:23C8:8F9F:4801:84C6:F936:6472:1F3 (talk) 17:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Business writing skills

Introduction
Business writing includes a wide range of different formats and writing jobs. These jobs include both internal communication within the company and external communication interfacing with the public and organisations. Business writing include the development of the following documents: newsletters, memos, letters, proposals, reports, power point presentations, press releases, marketing brochures, copywriting, technical writing, web copy, blogging, resumes and job applications, and more.

Learning support, assessment and certification
The following learning institutions offer learning support, assessment services, and accreditation for courses using this unit:
 * Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin, New Zealand offers both face to face and online support in this programme in the School of Business Travel and Tourism, through the (New Zealand) National Certificate in First Line Management.

Content
Study up on the following 3 areas

Applying punctuation, spelling & grammar
In really simple terms, sentences need to:
 * Sound right (the correct use of punctuation, tenses and words)
 * Look right (use of correct spelling, words and punctuation)
 * Be right (the right length, contain clear messages and use correct grammar)
 * Get right to the point (use appropriate contextual reference and achieve the desired result with a minimum of fanfare)

Grammar is a favourite of few people, but let's take a fresh look at how it can be useful to us. Every language has its own ways of making words behave or work well together and that set of relationships is called the grammar of that language. Correct grammar therefore, is the use of words that obey the usage standards of a language. More information...

Written punctuation indicates stops, pauses and new beginnings. It keeps points distinct from one another. It creates clarity. It alerts the reader to when one sentence starts and finishes or whether we're asking a question or making a statement.

Some simple rules for punctuation are:

 * Begin a sentence with a capital letter and a full stop to finish it.

 * Use a comma to mark a pause or to give one part of a sentence equal weight with another sentence.
 * Begin a statement sentence with a capital letter and finish it with a full stop.
 * Begin a question sentence with a capital letter and finish it a question mark (?).
 * Begin a command sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop or an exclamation mark (!).

Begin an exclamation sentence with a capital letter and finish it with an exclamation mark (!).

Colons introduce a word, phrase, a sentence and a list. It gives emphasis to whatever is being introduced, because readers must stop and pay attention.

Semicolons can be used as a connector between two sentences and as a supercomma. Supercommas shows lists and their relationship clearly: i.e. the company has subsidiaries in four cities: Mosgiel, Dunedin; Belfast, Christchurch; Panmure, Auckland; Upper Hutt, Wellington.

Commas tell the reader when to pause. They are used between items in a series.

Dash (-) is used to connect groups of words to other groups. It separates the words in the middle of a sentence from the rest of the sentence, or it leads to material at the end of a sentence. Use dashes sparingly for the occasion when extra emphasis is needed.

Apostrophe (') is used to form contractions, which are two words collapsed into one i.e. cannot > can't; we are > we're. The apostrophe tells the reader a letter or two have been omitted from a word and replaces the missing letter. Apostrophes also are used to mark the possessive. For example, Sue's word processor; the accountant's spreadsheet; the supervisor's rosters. When the noun is both plural and possessive i.e. there may be more than one Sue, one accountant and one supervisor - the apostrophe comes after, not before, the s: Sues', accountants', supervisors'.

Apostrophes can also make a possessive of a singular noun that already ends in s. This is done by adding 's to the word; however, you can also remove the second s, ending up with the s'. The apostrophe is also used to make letters and numerals plural i.e. I received C's and D's for that assessment; I got six 5's and seven 8's for that test.

Quotation Marks (" ") come at the beginning and end of a person's exact words i.e. "I walked the dog". Quotations usually start with a capital letter. A comma usually separates the quotation from the words that tell who is speaking.

Parentheses (brackets) are used to enclose additional information not essential to the meaning of a sentence. They also are used to add facts, such as a name or number.

Hyphens ( - ) are used to show a word has been split between two lines of text and to make two words into a single adjective before a noun. Source: Punctuation Made Simple.

Effective writing styles and methods overview
Having effective business writing skills is essential for managers and supervisors. Developing a natural sounding individual style includes using effective phraseology that's appropriate to the task at hand.

Incorporation of simple direct wording that considers the needs of the recipient into your own style is the beginning of your development: It uses a format that is appealing, readable and facilitates the readers’ understanding. Without exception, it is error free and speaks to the individual needs of the audience addressed, thereby furthering the professionalism of the writer and the organisation represented.

A practise exercise might be to consider writing a letter requesting repayment of a loan: how would you phrase your letter, considering the ongoing relationship between you, your establishment, and your customer? Continue on with another concise request for additional information from a reference regarding a potential employee which you're considering taking on.

Monitor effectiveness of business writing
What are the indicators of effective communications? Effectiveness is dependent upon the communication being presented through the appropriate channel (format) and presented in a way that assists the recipient's comprehension and understanding.
 * How do we know whether our business writing is effective?
 * How do we know if our messages are understood by the recipient?
 * How do we know if the format and style we use, is appropriate for the purpose?
 * How do we know if the tone, sentence construction, grammar and spelling is alright?

He was Governor-Minister of London from 2009 to 2017 and MHC for Oxfordshire from 2002 to 2009, when he resigned his seat to run for Governor-Minister. Johnson had previously been a journalist, working for centre-right publications such as the Telegraph and Republic Today. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.[7]

Johnson was educated at Cartwright University of London and studied Classical Studies at Balliol College, Oxford. He was elected President of the Oxford Union in 1986. In 1989, he became the European Affairs correspondent, and later political columnist, for The Telegraph, where his articles exerted a strong Eurosceptic influence on the British right. He was editor of The Spectator magazine from 1999 to 2005. After being elected to the House of Citizens in 2002 as a member of the National Party, Johnson was an unofficial spokesman for the party, specialising in issues such as the arts and business. In 2009, he ran for and won the position of Governor-Minister of London (defeating incumbent Socialist GM Ken Livingstone) and resigned from the House of Citizens; he was re-elected as Governor-Minister in 2013, defeating Oona King of the PDP. During his governorship, Johnson oversaw the 2012 Summer Olympics and the cycle hire scheme, both initiated by his predecessor, along with introducing the New Routemaster buses, the Night Tube, and the Thames cable car and promoting the Garden Bridge. He also banned alcohol consumption on much of London's public transport.

After not running for a third term in 2017, Johnson launched his first presidential campaign later that year, defeating Theresa May and Steve Woolfe in a three-way race. He eventually defeated incumbent President Vince Cable, winning 13,864,113 votes to Cable's 10,214,718, and was sworn in by Speaker of the Senate Chris Bryant. His first term oversaw the withdrawal of the BR from the Union of European States (UES) and the 2020-2022 Covid-19 Crisis, as well as the Nationals under Penny Mordaunt winning the Prime Ministership. His second term, after defeating Senator Keir Starmer by a slightly increased margin, saw a failed vote by Scotland to leave the BR, the invasion of Taiwan by China and a strong economic recovery from the Covid Crisis. He has announced that he will not be running for a third term in 2026.

Johnson is considered a controversial figure in BR politics.[9][10] Supporters have praised him as humorous and entertaining,[11] with an appeal stretching beyond traditional National voters.[12][13] Conversely, his critics have accused him of elitism, cronyism, opportunism and bigotry.[14][15][16]

Introduction to telecommunications

Introduction
Information has a variety of meanings, from everyday talks to High Tech settings. Generally, the concept of information is closely relavant to issues of communications, control, data,  instruction, knowledge, meanining, pattern, perception, and representation.

Voice, Video, and Data

 * Voice is practically the sound, that comes from our mouths and carried by sound waves. Sound waves can't carry it too far, so with a help of a microphone voice singals are converted to their electical equivalents, then carried by the electric wires. When the electric signal reaches destination, it is converted back to audio signal by a speaker.
 * Video is a motion picture which is a quickly-changing image.. It works the same principle as an audio transmission, yet with a different information. Video camera converts the image to an electrical signal. The electrical signal travels through the electric wires, and reaches the destination. There it is converted back to visual by a TV.

Elements of the communication systems

 * For humans, signal is a piece of meaningful information, yet the electrical/electronic definition of signal would be
 * A signal is a physical, and time-dependant energy used to convey information through the transmission line.
 * Source is the originator of message, also known as Transmitting End
 * Transmitting equipment
 * Receiving End
 * Receiving equipment

Signals Carry
Signaling is a process of exchanging information on matter of the connection establishment, and managing telecom networks.
 * Message - the information itself
 * Meta data - the information the electronic transmitting media can require, which is
 * messages' order
 * message's length
 * coding techniques
 * Signals can be analog and digital.

Analogue Signals
By definition, an analogue signal is a signal which is continuous in both time and amplitude. Sine and Cosine functions may be considered as basis of analogue signals with the variable parameters of Amplitude, Frequency, and Phase.

Transmission Media
MEDIA and ENERGY TYPE

Copper-Twisted( (UTP/STP)) = (E/T Electrical Energy)

Coaxial Cable = (E/T Electrical Energy)

Optical Fiber = (E/T Light / Laser)

Air = (E/T Sound)

Free Space = (E/T Elecotro Magnatice Waves)

Norwegian/Appendix 2

Appendix P: Norwegian Pronunciation
The pronunciation is indicated in IPA. The sounds are best learned from a native speaker. Whenever possible, practice these with a native speaker. Reading aloud will also help your confidence. Note that the Norwegian language is full of dialects, so there are several ways of pronouncing the words. Foreign learners are usually taught to speak the way that people in the Oslo-area speak.

Vowels
The Norwegian vowels:

The main rule is that long vowels occur before single consonants, short vowels occur before double consonants. This is no absolute rule, though, as you will see in the examples below. Notice: the short o sound is rarely represented in written form with an o! (It's usually represented by u)

Consonants
The Norwegian consonants

Most consonants in the Norwegian language are pronounced like the English consonants.

Plosives
In Norwegian, there are six plosives, all equal to the English version of them.

Fricatives
These are also quite equal to the English language, except that Norwegian does not have ', (as in thin) ' (as in this) ' (as in measure) and ', (as in zing) but at the other hand, Norwegians have the ' sound, which is sort of a stiffer version of the ' sound (as in German ich). The ç sound is similar to the "h" in many English dialects' pronunciation of huge.

Diphthongs
Vowels also appear in set combinations. These are called diphthongs. They are two vowel sounds pronounced after the other as a continuous sound

Tonemes
Norwegian has two contrasting tonemes. These are kind of hard to describe using text, and some also say that foreigners (to Norway) are even unable to distinguish one from the other. However, they do exist. In the words indicated with 1 and a hacek, the tone is normal in the first part of the word, and rises in the last part of the word. In the words indicated with 2, the word is pronounced like any other normal word. (In other words, it's very hard to say 1 words in a monotone voice) Here are two examples:

Notice: The two last examples are very similar to each other even though they are different, and I am actually somewhat unsure if it's loven or låven which is the more "special" one.

School:Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship involves taking actions that earn money and that create changes in society related to those actions. The changes can be positive or negative. It is best if they are positive, ethical, legal and help to all humans (see /discussion about the definition of entrepreneurship/)

Welcome!
Welcome to the School of Entrepreneurship, part of the Practical Arts and Sciences

Entrepreneurship
Innovative and creative person or a pathway to Self-Employment

The entrepreneur is popularly defined as the person who assumes the risks and costs associated with starting one's own business. This general view is not accepted by many scholars. According to the critics, the person who comes to grief if the business fails, is the fund supplying capitalist (or the financer) who has to bear the losses, so the entrepreneurs, with little investment in the venture, won't bear much of the risk. The concept of entrepreneurship is also generally thought to be similar to the concept of self-employment. The two are synonymous in the sense that persons who are entrepreneurs and those who are self-employed take responsibility to pay themselves rather than work for fixed wages determined by employers. As such both the entrepreneur and the self-employed hope to determine how much they are paid and to control their working hours the structure of their work. In fact, as most of the entrepreneurs would also agree, the main function of the entrepreneurs is to innovate. Now, innovation is not Invention or R&D type of things. Innovation, among other things, would mean commercial application of an idea. It is not difficult to innovate, though it requires a bit of practice and mental training. For example, suggest some design modifications for a pen so that it can be used in a use other than writing! We may put some memory chip into it and it becomes an identification pen, or if we print short messages on it, it becomes an effective advertising media. Can you suggest more? In simple training session with undergraduate students in India (Chandigarh) some 1000 modifications were identified. Go on, suggest some more and get a feel of an entrepreneur in making.

Who is the Entrepreneur?
Who is the self-employed person?

The entrepreneur is a responsible person that decides to take charge of his or her own life and ideas, and secondly the life and ideas of others. He or she is the person who identifies what people need or might need to make them more comfortable and decide to take on the responsibility to serve those needs.

The entrepreneur is the person that seizes the opportunity to serve others, despite the dangers and the risks associated with serving people's needs, including their unidentified ones.

The entrepreneur decides to use his or her life and ideas or a portion of his or her life and ideas to ensure that other persons get what they need or get what will make their life more comfortable and happy as they live on earth.

Talk:History of India

India or Indic?

Indic or India
The US State Department defines "indic languages," I assumed this terminology would also apply as a general study. Also since the department would obstensibly cover the pre-partition era histories of Pakistan and Bangladesh, some differentiation from "India" would be in order. However if it is the will of the community, as derived from further comments, I shall happily change the name. Nmpenguin 04:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Tasks.
Would appreciate it if you could create a Tasks page (not just a section) similar to the one found at European History. If you're confused as to how to do this, and would like me to do it for you, leave a message on my talk page. The Jade Knight 03:52, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge (Pan-Asian History)
I propose that we merge the three Asian History Dep'ts into a single "Department of Asian History". This would correspond to the current Departments of European History, African History, and the pending (pan-)American History Department. This way there will be more interaction among the members of a department, and it will be easier to reach critical mass in regads to cooperation and momentum of paricipation.

 * Keep. He's the subject of a biography as is noted already in the article which is fairly widely cited e.g.. He was not notable as a priest particularly, but he was the headmaster of several important schools. He's also known as an education reformer link.  He is a figure in Maugham scholarship 123. --Samuel J. Howard (talk) 19:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as the subject of a biography from a major publisher. This was a poor nomination. StAnselm (talk) 20:03, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I see no evidence that this biography of a priest, by a specialist publisher promoting Christians, is automatic evidence of notability. Which part of WP:NOTABILITY do you feel he fits? The nearest notability criteria to your argument is WP:BASIC: People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[3] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[4] and independent of the subject. There are not multiple published secondary sources and this publisher's raison d'ete means it isn't entirely an independent source. Boleyn (talk) 20:19, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The publisher is still independent of the subject. In any case, Field is not primarily notable as a priest, but as a headmaster. StAnselm (talk) 20:32, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * See also The History of Radley College 1847-1947 by A K Boyd. That was published by Blackwell. StAnselm (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep -- The succession box for a Nottingham church ought not to be there, but has headmaster successively of two significant public schools he is probably notable. This is rather more significant than being a vicar who wrote a couple of NN books.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:15, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A book published by Blackwell ought to be a reliable source. A book such as this (even if it had been published by Radley College) would have been based on the school's archives, the appropriate primary sources.  This is certainly WP:RS.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
