Face shape identification is needed to reference the hijab style selection. Many people don’t know their face shape. The mistake of choosing a hijab style makes the face look disproportionate. The morphological facial index model is used to identify the face shape by calculating the length and width of the face. Face Landmark point is used for facial feature extraction which is used as an attribute in the study, namely face height, face width, upper jaw width and lower jaw width. Various kinds of hijab styles and the absence of a hijab style guide make it difficult to choose a hijab style that suits your face shape. Machine learning is needed to create a hijab style selection system. Random Forest was chosen as the method for choosing the hijab style. The purpose of this study is the implementation of a random forest for the selection of hijab styles based on face shape using morphological facial index. This study used 129 images of female facial data which was split into 89% training data and 11% test data. The prediction system produces an accuracy value of 93% with 30 trees for pashmina, scarf and instant hijab styles. The use of the random forest method is proven to be able to predict the selection of hijab styles based on face shape using morphological facial index. Scikit-learn tool used to random forest modelling and evaluated the efficiency of our proposed method.

For CS50 at Harvard, we have developed a suite of free, open-source tools to help students with writing, testing, and submitting programming assignments; and to help teachers grade those assignments and check them for plagiarism. help50, a program that parses error messages and provides beginner-friendly advice to interpreting them, helps students understand and resolve often-cryptic compiler errors. check50 runs a set of automated tests on students' code, providing feedback and hints about where students have made errors. style50 lints students' code, highlighting places where it doesn't meet the course's style guide. submit50 allows students to submit assignments to a GitHub repository, without students needing to have knowledge of git or version control themselves. And compare50, an open-source and customizable alternative to Moss, allows teachers to analyze submissions for similarity, looking for pairs or clusters of submissions that might be the result of improper collaboration. The grading and submission tools require only a GitHub account to use, and can serve as free, extensible alternatives to tools like Codio, Gradescope, and Vocareum. In this workshop, we'll introduce each of the tools, and discuss how to use them for your own classroom. To date, each tool has been deployed to hundreds of students on campus and thousands online. Along the way, we'll discuss how to use the tools effectively, compare and contrast them with other options, identify how the tools have changed students' behavior for the better and for worse, and highlight pedagogical and technological changes we've made to redress the latter. Laptop (with Wi-Fi) required. Linux, macOS, or Windows. Latest version of Chrome.

Dullscreen as an interface design concept suggests minimizing colors to avoid interface confusion and clutter. Dullscreen designs have been applied in several of the author’s efforts to modernize legacy control rooms in nuclear power plants with digital upgrades. A study on system overviews revealed an unexpected finding. One set of screens followed a vendor’s human-computer interface style guide, which featured a series of colorful elements on the screens. Another set of screens followed an in-house style guide that adhered to dullscreen principles. The discovery that the colorful elements were more visually salient, especially when seen across the control room, pointed to a need to reconsider strict adherence to dullscreen design principles.

A design initiative for advanced user interfaces began several years ago with the intent to provide design guidelines for new applications in the form of an interactive prototype toolkit called the User Interface Prototyping Toolkit (UIPT). The concept was to develop a tool that would allow sponsors, customers, end users, designers, engineers and software developers to work together in an iterative fashion to achieve a tailored user interface for the application of interest. An advanced or modern style was applied to the interface to provide a more current and modern look and feel to the user while still adhering to solid principle of design, workflow, tasks, layout, coloring, size, animated actions and user cues or alerts. An overarching goal was to design with a general repeatable structure. This allows each new project to understand what elements are used for and how the work within the user interface. This concept was further exploited by integrating multiple domains within in the same software application and leveraging the use of an end user’s role to smoothly transition from the display from one user role to that of another. UIPT has been successfully integrated with over four projects and a series of user roles and the user interfaces associate with those roles. To maintain this design philosophy an interactive style guide began to be developed to apply design consistency across the multiple projects that utilize UIPT. This interactive style guide just happens to be built with Unity, a 2D and 3D game engine. This is the same tool used to prototype these user interfaces. As such the styles for size, color, layout and other design factors are laid out in an application which can be run to view and work with user interface element illustrated in the common design guide for the projects. Software developers obtain an advantage of having access to the code of the interactive style guide which contains not only how the code is to be implemented but contains the style specification already built into the code. This is advantageous as a means maintain design consistency, not having to repeat design and software development for a majority of the user interface. Additionally, new software developers and designers are provided with a solid template which helps in bring them up to speed at an accelerated rate.

This study presents the initial results of a quest to document the values and practices of journalism produced by Native Hawaiians. The objective is to disrupt and improve journalism by integrating Hawaiian perspectives and practices while supporting the revitalization of Hawaiian language and culture. The knowledge gleaned from Hawaiian journalists helped launch the creation of a Resource and Style Guide for Hawaiʻi. Much can be learned from Hawaiian values and cultural practices on how to include Indigenous perspectives, if we apply a broader interpretation of Western ethical journalism guidelines. Western media will also need to invest in training and education for all journalists and hire more Indigenous people.

Advanced user interfaces continue to improve through better design which in turn translates to more effective development and end use. The intent of this work is to provide design guidelines that can be used across all new applications. An interactive prototype toolkit called the User Interface Prototyping Toolkit (UIPT) was developed to allow sponsors, customers, end users, designers, engineers, and software developers to work together in an iterative fashion to achieve a tailored but guided user interface for the application of interest. Modern styles were applied with a consistent and common look and feel while adhering to solid principle of design, workflow, tasks, layout, coloring, size, animation, and user cues. The design required a general repeatable structure for designers and developers with the intent to allow each new project to understand the overall design and incorporate the features and functionality in accordance with style guide principles. UIPT integrates multiple domains within in the same software application with the ability to efficiently transition an end user’s role from one display presentation to another. To date, several projects and user roles have been integrated into the UIPT. In support of this design philosophy an interactive style guide is in continuous development to apply a common reusable design across the multiple projects that utilize the UIPT-based interface. Both the UIPT application and the interactive style guide were built with Unity, a 2D and 3D game engine. Styles for size, color, layout, and other design factors are laid out in the style guide itself which can be run to visualize and examine interactions. This is advantageous for new and experience software developers because the guide itself contains the code and styles necessary to implement the various components of the user interface while supporting design consistency with reusable code for rapid deployment.

The Lagrangian analysis of particulate matter, biota and drifters, which are dispersed by turbulent fluid currents, is a cornerstone of oceanographic studies, covering diverse study objectives. The results of Lagrangian simulations and observations is predominantly visualised by means of easy-access plotting interfaces and simple presentation techniques. We analysed over 50 publications from the years 2010–2020 with respect to their visual design to deduce common visualisation practices in the domain. Individual figures are analysed towards adherence to visualisation best-practices, algebraic visualisation guidelines and the IPCC visual style guide. In this article, we present the resulting best-practices and common pitfalls in the design of Lagrangian ocean visualisations. Based on this visual study, we highlight that raising awareness of established visual guidelines may have a higher impact on improving the visual quality of publications in oceanography than the vigorous development of more general-purpose visualisation tools.

This study of Rural Studio's style guide uses artifacts and interview findings to examine the role of the style guide in an organization that promotes home ownership to mitigate rural poverty. To address these challenges, the team is developing a suite of communication products. As we conducted the study, we came to understand the style guide as a technology, a dynamic element of the genre ecology that is shaped by and in turn shapes the narratives about both individuals and the problem as a whole.

Back in February, the Daily Telegraph ’s Celia Walden used her column to mock the Royal College of Nursing’s (RCN) style guide on the correct terminology and formats to use in nursing communications.12 The piece was ostensibly light hearted, its tone gently ribbing what Walden saw as the RCN’s po-faced attitude. But it wasn’t hard to construe the meaning behind the joke—namely, that we’ve become far too obsessed with “woke” language and identity politics, that it’s distracting and detracting from the vital work of clinical care, and that staff have better things to worry about than putting their foot in it or getting into …

We have a long way to travel before we get back to what Dickens meant… —G.K. Chesterton, Charles Dickens The 20th and 21st centuries have continued the quest, so aptly described by G. K. Chesterton in 1906, to ‘find’ Charles Dickens and recapture the characteristically Dickensian. From research attempting to classify and categorise the nature of his popularity to a century of film adaptations, Dickens’s legacy encompasses an array of conventional and innovative forms. Dickens After Dickens includes chapters from rising and leading scholars in the field, offering creative and varied discussion of the continued and evolving influence of Dickens and the nature of his legacy across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Its chapters show the surprising resonances that Dickens has had and continues to have, arguing that the author’s impact can be seen in mainstream cultural phenomena such as HBO’s TV series The Wire and Donna Tartt’s novel The Goldfinch, as well as in diverse areas such as Norwegian literature, video games and neo-Victorian fiction. It discusses Dickens as a biographical figure, an intertextual moment, and a medium through which to explore contemporary concerns around gender and representation. The new research represented in this book brings together a range of methodologies, approaches and sources, offering an accessible and engaging re-evaluation that will be of interest to scholars of Dickens, Victorian fiction, adaptation, and cultural history, and to teachers, students, and general readers interested in the ways in which we continue to read and be influenced by the author’s work. This collection is edited by Dr Emily Bell (Loughborough University) with a Foreword by Professor Juliet John (Royal Holloway, University of London), author of Dickens and Mass Culture (OUP). Dr Bell is a board member for the Oxford Dickens series and an editor for the Dickens Letters Project. She also acted as the first Communications Committee Chair of the international Dickens Society, and has published on Dickens, life writing and commemoration. *** Please note: you can download the ebook on its own or you can download chapters individually using the dropdown menu below.

At the ‘English Usage (Guides) Symposium’, Cambridge 2014, I was invited to account for my revision of Plain Words (Gowers, 2014), the style guide originally written by my great-grandfather, Sir Ernest Gowers (1880–1966). And because, by the time I gave that talk (see Gowers, 2018), I was already writing my own book on the English language, intended as a sort of adjunct to Plain Words, the arguments aired at that Cambridge gathering were particularly interesting to me. That said, they also left me more daunted than ever by my own project.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) contributes increasingly to the generation and dissemination of public knowledge. Its publishing division and the OECD iLibrary provide access to around 219,700 publications. While the OECD offers translated summaries of some of its key titles in up to 25 languages, the majority of publications are authored in English, and are stylistically regulated in accordance with Anglo-Saxon writing standards, as set out in the OECD Style Guide. This article discusses the language effects (Pennycook 1994) – that is, the worldmaking implications – of the OECD’s predominant use of English in processes of knowledge production. It presents two contrasting perspectives: 1. (the OECD’s own view) that the English language standards imposed by the organisation mean that the knowledge generated becomes widely accessible, which in turn contributes to a transcultural knowledge world; 2. (an external critique) that the dominance of English language publications embodies the OECD’s symbolic power, so that knowledge can only be generated and accessed by accepting English as the legitimate language of authority (Bourdieu 1977). Attention will be drawn to the diverging role of translation in both scenarios, and to the concept of institutional translation (Koskinen 2008).

The present style guide (Version 1.5 of October 10, 2019) has been created as result of the research project Open-Access-Hochschulverlag ( Open Access University Press) at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, Germany. The project was to develop a sustainable and adoptable workflow, which enables universities to publish their publications both as OA and printed books in a state-of-the-art publishing process and without any restrictions regarding the license, the variety of formats, print run etc. The style guide was created to characterise the internal layout of OA books, which have been published by our university press. To enable low-threshold transfer of knowledge how to publish OA books, this style guide has been published under Creative Commons Licence CC BY. Publishing monographs in a uniformly series design, the so house style, offers several advantages: it creates a recognition value for the user, so the publications are better remembered and the university press as a publisher becomes more visible as a brand. In addition, a uniform appearance ensures a consistent quality standard, as scientific publications can be highly structured and complex. Strict specifications facilitate the handling of those complex content and ensures the uniform appearance. The house style of our project consist of general specifications such as the selection of book formats, the basic structure of the scientific publication, page layout, baseline grids, fonts, colors, pagination and running titles, as well as rules for hyphenation and Document Object Identifier (DOI). Furthermore, specifications for the content-specific elements, which may occur in scientific publication are defined, such as heading hierarchies, footnotes, subtitles, lists and numbering, indents, formulas, source code, info boxes, figures and tables. Finally, the guideline includes further specifications, e.g. cover design, directories, appendix and specifications for the electronic output formats of the publication.

MineralBay ist ein webbasiertes Materialverwaltungssoftwaresystem für Aushubmaterialen und befindet sich derzeit in Entwicklung. Das Design der Applikation wirkt aufgrund fehlender Richtlinien und Verantwortlichen heterogen. Die Entwickler haben nicht die notwendige Zeit und das Know-how über Usability um Design entscheidungen zu treffen. Die folgende Arbeit zeigt einen Lösungsansatz und gibt den Entwicklern einen Styleguide als Instrument zur Entscheidungsfindung und Informationsbereitstellung. In der Diplomarbeit wurde ein Usability-Konzept für die Webapplikation MineralBay ausgearbeitet. Die Ergebnisse der durchgeführten Usability-Recherche wurden den Entwicklern als ein Online-Styleguide bereitgestellt. Der Fokus der Forschung lag auf der Integration des Styleguides in den Software-Entwicklungsprozess und der Überprüfung der Akzeptanz eines Styleguides und der Erwartungen an dessen Inhalt. Grundlagen für das Konzept der neugestalteten Applikation und des implementierten Styleguides ergeben sich aus einer ausführlichen Literaturrecherche zum Thema Usability und Styleguides. Nach einer theoretischen Aufbereitung wurde im Rahmen einer Nutzeranalyse eine quantitative Erhebung in Form eines Online Fragebogens mit den potentiellen Benutzern und den Entwicklern von MineralBay durchgeführt. Diese Analysen resultierten in Personas und den Designentwürfen in Form von Wireframes. Die Wireframes dienten als Input für den Inhalt des Styleguides. Um den Styleguide zu evaluieren und eine Aussage darüber treffen zu können, ob die Anforderungen der Entwickler erfüllt wurden, wurden kontextuelle Analysen durchgeführt. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass sich Styleguides mit dem Styleguide getriebenen Ansatz von De La Cuadra [DLC15] in den Entwicklungsprozess eines Softwareengineering-Projektes integrieren lassen. Die hohe Akzeptanz eines Styleguides seitens der Entwickler basiert auf den Erwartungen an Konsistenz, einfachere Entscheidungsfindung und die daraus resultierende verkürzte Entwicklungszeit. Die aus der Literatur erarbeiteten Empfehlungen zum Inhalt eines Styleguides sind grundsätzlich ausreichend, damit derStyleguide bei Entwicklern Verwendung findet. Darüber hinaus sehen die Entwickler einen Bedarf an zusätzlichen technischen Informationen zur Einbindung der Komponenten inden aktuellen Entwicklungskontext sowie einem Stylesheet zum Downloaden, das die CSS-Codes aller Komponenten zusammenfasst., MineralBay is a web-based material management software for excavated material and is currently under development. The design of the application seems rather heterogeneous due to missing guidelines and responsible persons. The developers do not have the necessary time and the usability know-how to make design decisions. The following work demonstrates a solution approach and gives developers a style guide as a decision making and information sharing tool. In this thesis, a usability concept for the web application MineralBay has been developed. The results of the usability research were provided to the developers as an online style guide. The focus of the research was on the integration of the style guide in the software development process of university projects, the review of the acceptance of it and the expectations of the developers towards the content. The basics for the concept of the redesigned application and the implemented style guide are the result of a detailed literature research on the topic of usability and style guides. After a theoretical treatment, a quantitative survey in the form of an online questionnaire with potential users and the developers of the MineralBay was carried out. This analysis resulted in personas and design drafts in the form of wireframes. The wireframes served as an input for the content of the style guide. To evaluate the style guide and be able to make a statement about whether the requirements of the developers have been met, contextual analyzes were performed. The findings show that style guides can be integrated into the development process of a software engineering project using the style guide driven development concept by DeLa Cuadra [DLC15]. The high acceptance of a style guide by developers is based on expectations of consistency, easier decision-making and the resulting reduced development time. The recommendations from the literature on the content of a style guide are basically sufficient for the style guide to be used by developers. In addition, the developers see a need for additional technical information to integrate the components into the current development context as well as a downloadable stylesheet that summarizes the CSS codes of all components.

O presente relatório descreve a experiência de estágio de 400 horas na empresa de tradução ONOMA – Gabinete de Traduções, Lda., realizado no âmbito da componente não letiva do Mestrado, e que permitiu pôr em prática os conhecimentos adquiridos durante este ciclo. Propôs-se como principal objetivo a elaboração de um guia de estilo para a ONOMA, no intuito de uniformizar a escrita da empresa, dar solução a problemas comuns e fazer transparecer alguma da marca da empresa nos projetos. Numa primeira parte, é apresentado o processo de tradução na empresa, bem como as tarefas desempenhadas e os problemas que surgiram. Na segunda parte, caracteriza-se tradução enquanto serviço e confrontam-se algumas definições de qualidade, com vista a determinar o potencial contributo do guia de estilo nos processos de qualidade na tradução profissional. Na terceira parte, descreve-se o processo de elaboração do guia de estilo e analisam-se os seus capítulos. O guia de estilo apresenta-se como um documento de referência para tradutores e revisores, contendo preferências, recomendações e requisitos linguísticos a cumprir para garantir a qualidade das traduções. O desenvolvimento do guia de estilo da ONOMA teve por base guias de estilo institucionais como o da Microsoft, do Centro de Informação Europeia Jacques Delors, o Guia do Tradutor da Comissão Europeia e o guia de estilo do jornal Público, a experiência e sugestões dos colegas da ONOMA, e também a própria experiência da estagiária ao longo da componente não letiva. This report describes the experience of a 400-hour internship in the translation agency ONOMA – Gabinete de Traduções, Lda., which took place in the second semester of the Master’s programme, and which allowed me to put into practice the skills acquired throughout this course. The main objective proposed was the creation of a style guide for ONOMA, with the aim of standardizing the company’s written style, providing solutions to common problems and leaving the agency’s mark on its projects. In the first part of the report, the translation process in the agency is presented, along with the tasks performed and the problems which resulted from them. In the second part, I characterize translation as a service and set some definitions of quality against each other, in order to determine the potential contribution of a style guide in the quality processes of professional translation. In the third part, the process of creation of the style guide is described and its chapters analyzed. The style guide serves as a reference document for translators and revisers, containing preferences, recommendations and linguistic requirements to be met in order to assure the quality of translations. The development of a style guide for ONOMA is based on institutional style guides such as those of Microsoft, Centro de Informação Europeia Jacques Delors, the Portuguese Style Guide of the European Commission and the style guide of the Público newspaper, the experience of my colleagues in ONOMA, as well as the experience I acquired throughout the internship.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar uma ferramenta computacional utilizando os conceitos de redes neurais artificiais para reconhecer alguns dos grupos de estilos de cervejas baseado no guia de estilos do BJCP 2015. Para isso, além do desenvolvimento dos padrões de entrada que a rede neural artificial necessita para trabalhar, foi utilizado o framework Encog 3.4 para reaproveitamento de códigos. Os resultados dos dois testes realizados neste trabalho foram bastante positivos, uma vez que a rede neural além de reconhecer todos os estilos de cervejas de um grupo do BJCP 2015, em seu primeiro teste, ela também conseguiu distinguir os estilos de quatros grupos simultâneos do guia de estilos.

Continuous increases in technology use have improved the opportunity for extension professionals to engage with a broader audience and maximize dissemination of information through social media platforms. Infographics utilize visuals to narrate complex information in a simple and concise manner and therefore may represent a key educational tool for extension professionals. The objective of this project was to evaluate the effect of communication mode on audience engagement and reach in extension programming through social media. The authors hypothesized that Facebook posts containing infographics would elicit a greater number of reactions, comments, shares, and reach compared with posts containing webpage links. Four informational webpages discussing colic, ration balancers, round-bale feeders, and planning a pasture were selected from the University of Minnesota (UMN) Equine Extension website and were utilized to create corresponding infographics (n = 4). The infographics were designed following a consistent style guide (e.g., 20 pt body text, single page, etc.) and UMN Extension formatting (e.g., approved fonts and colors). Infographic-webpage pairs were systematically assigned to a month (February, May, July, October 2020) and posted on the UMN Equine Extension Facebook page. Infographic posts contained an introductory sentence and infographic. Webpage posts contained a similar introductory sentence, image, and webpage link. Posts occurred on the first and third Mondays of the month with a one-week washout period between post types (webpage or infographic). The order of post type was alternated each month. Facebook metrics (number of reactions, comments, shares, and reach) were recorded at 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 168 h following posting. Results were compared on the log scale using mixed ANOVA models with post type and hour as fixed effects and repeated measures and pairs as random effects. Reported results were back transformed and P-values

Informality has become something of a contemporary mantra as, from the denim-clad offices of internet startups to the pages of business reports, we are encouraged to shed old constraints and relax conventions. This paper explores the perception that since informality has now invaded a large range of written and spoken domains of discourse, academic writing has also followed this trend. It asks the question whether academics are now freer to construct less rigidly objective texts and craft a more inclusive relationship with their readers. Taking a corpus of 2.2 million words from the same leading journals in four disciplines at three periods over the past years, we explore changes in the use of ten key features regarded by applied linguists and style guide authors as representing informality. Our results show only a small increase in the use of these features, and that this is mainly accounted for by increases in the hard sciences rather than the social sciences. It is also largely restricted to increases in first person pronouns, unattended reference and sentences beginning with conjunctions. We discuss these results and argue they represent changes in rhetorical conventions which accommodate more obvious interpersonal interactions in the sciences.

Traffic Flow Management (TFM) functions to minimize airspace congestion and maximize safety and efficiency. TFM personnel at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration use Traffic Situation Display (TSD) software to observe air traffic and weather systems and issue strategic congestion-mitigation initiatives to Air Traffic Control facilities. Since its initial deployment, the TSD has been augmented by many groups of developers. This distributed process has led to an inconsistent interface that does not always adhere to best usability practices, especially because during the initial stages of development there was little human factors involvement. This can have a detrimental effect on new users learning the interface and also may make experienced users more likely to make errors. We developed a style guide for an operational Air Traffic Management tool, and a companion consistency assessment, to help developers (a) adhere to usability principles for future software expansions and (b) bring older portions of the interface into compliance with user-centered design. We discuss the process of style guide development—including the unique aspects of the TFM user population and application domain and their implications for creating a style guide for TFM software—and the applicability of our guide beyond the TSD tool.

This study examined the internal headings of theses and research articles in applied linguistics. Headings collected from 110 theses and headings selected from 500 research articles underwent quantitative and qualitative analyses. The goal was to investigate possible differences between the heading writing styles adopted by the writers of each genre in focus. Analyses revealed the higher incidence of functional headings in both genres, particularly in research articles. Virtually, all functional and conventional syntactic options used in headings testified to be significantly different. Moreover, deployment of functional headings evidenced to act as a gatekeeper alternative that might have enhanced the publication chance of research articles in prestigious ISI-indexed journals. The study provides assistance for the writers of style guide manuals and syllabus designers in paving the way for novice writers to gain recognition in academia as professionals. Keywords: applied linguistics, conventional heading, functional heading, research article, thesis

How can we support the development of age-appropriate system design in a society with new information and communication technologies (ICT) emerging at an ever-increasing rate, making it imperative to consider age-appropriate design to achieve the best possible usability and acceptance for older adults? This paper describes the development of a style guide within the Historytelling Project to increase the consistency and therefore efficiency of the interface and to gain a higher software development efficiency. The implementation of the style guide is based on the preexisting CSS framework Bootstrap because of its high amount of predefined UI elements. The developed style guide consists of two components: the actual implementation of the style guide in the form of CSS customizations and the associated documentation. Both components are freely accessible and editable online. An adjusted interface was tested against a standard Bootstrap interface with 31 older adults aged 51 to 93 (M = 71), of which 15 participants used the standard Bootstrap interface and 16 the age-adjusted interface. Findings indicate a higher task completion rate (effectiveness) across tasks for the adjusted Bootstrap+ version.

Translated by Christopher Pilling Edited by Richard Hibbitt and Katherine Lunn-Rockliffe With an introduction by Katherine Lunn-Rockliffe Tristan Corbiere is a poet who tests language to the limits, dislocating normal syntax, revelling in self-contradictory affirmations, and piling up puns. Born in Brittany in 1845, he died at only 29, leaving to future readers a scattered assortment of texts. This collection brings together several less well-known pieces, some early versions of published poems, and others which were handwritten into his own copy of his only published collection, Les Amours jaunes. Presented as a bilingual edition, this volume offers the first English translations of many of these writings, all of which testify to Corbiere’s sly humour, linguistic glee, formal innovation and mordant self-irony. Playful and comic, Corbiere’s work is also experimental, subversive and moving. The texts are translated by Christopher Pilling, an award-winning poet, playwright and translator. He is a founder of the Cumbrian Poets workshops, which he has hosted for 35 years, a convenor of Skiddaw u3a, and the organiser of translation days and readings in Keswick. He has translated the work of a number of poets, mainly from French but also from Latin. A beneficiary of the Royal Literary Fund, Christopher is also a member of Parkinson’s UK. Oysters, nightingales and cooking pots provides a fitting sequel to Christopher Pilling’s translation of Tristan Corbiere’s Les Amours jaunes, published as These Jaundiced Loves in 1995. The volume is edited by Richard Hibbitt and Katherine Lunn-Rockliffe. Please note that this volume is available in multiple formats for your convenience.

In November 1939 Madeleine Blaess, a French-born, British-raised student, set off for Paris to study for a doctorate in Medieval French literature at the Sorbonne. In June 1940, the German invasion cut off her escape route to the ports, preventing her return to Britain. She was forced to remain in France for the duration of the Occupation and in October 1940 began to write a diary. Intended initially as a replacement letter to her parents in York, she wrote it in French and barely missed an entry for almost four years. Madeleine’s diary is unique as she wrote it to record as much as she could about everyday life, people and events so she could use these written traces to rekindle memories later for the family from whom she had been parted. Many diaries of that era focus on the political situation. Madeleine’s diary does reflect and engage with military and political events. It also provides an unprecedented day-by-day account of the struggle to manage material deprivation, physical hardship, mental exhaustion and depression during the Occupation. The diary is also a record of Madeleine’s determination to achieve her ambition to become a university academic at a time when there was little encouragement for women to prioritise education and career over marriage and motherhood. Her diary is edited and translated here for the first time. Dr Wendy Michallat was born in West Yorkshire. She studied at the Universities of Warwick and Nottingham and lectures in the School of Languages and Cultures at the University of Sheffield. She researches and teaches French cultural history, life-writing and popular culture and has published on diverse subjects including cartoon art, women’s football and first-wave French feminism. Alongside the diary translation Dr Michallat has brought together a range of resources including a film about Madeleine's time in Paris , and also teaching resources for schools.

This first volume of Star Carr provides an interpretation of the Star Carr site, one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe. Discovered in the late 1940s by John Moore and then excavated by Grahame Clark from 1949-1951, the site is famous in the archaeological world for its wealth of rare organic remains, including significant wooden artefacts. However, since the original excavations there has been much debate about how the site was used: was it a residential base camp, a hunting camp or even a ritual site? The 2003-2015 excavations directed by Conneller, Milner and Taylor aimed to answer these questions. In use for around 800 years, the Star Carr site is much larger and more complex than ever imagined. The excavations show that Mesolithic groups were highly invested in this place and continued to occupy the site despite changes in climate. The findings include the oldest evidence for ‘houses’ in Britain, large wooden platforms along the edge of the lake, antler headdresses and a unique, engraved shale pendant which represents the earliest form of Mesolithic art in Britain. There is evidence for activity areas, such as crafts and tool repair associated with structures, an axe factory, as well as a number of caches. New finds of antler frontlets have increased our understanding of the diversity of human interactions with animals. “If these do not get a gong, something will have to be done about archaeology book awards.” Mike Pitts, British Archaeology Despite the degradation, these excavations have provided a new understanding of life in the Early Mesolithic, particularly enhancing our understanding of how important wood (a material rarely recovered) was for Mesolithic people. The findings challenge many of the preconceived views of this period in terms of the character and scale of activity and the degree of investment in a particular place in the landscape. Volume 1 focuses on an interpretation of the site, while volume 2 of Star Carr provides detail on specific areas of research.

The writers of ancient literature of oriental civilizations did not give reference in their texts. The concept of giving references in texts was not heard of in those times. However, even in present times also many researchers do not cite the references or quote sources consulted by them, which can be described as an act of plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious offence where a writer merely copies the ideas of the original writers without acknowledging them. Proper citation of the sources consulted or quoted in the text can help in avoiding plagiarism students of literature must use MLA handbook for making their research work acceptable by the readers all over the world. When MLA style manual was published for the first time in 1951, it was of only 31 pages, whereas 8th edition of the manual has 146 pages. It has kept pace with the changing times and this article highlights the changes made in the 8th edition of the MLA style sheet.

Students in introductory computer science courses (CS 1) typically receive little formal instruction in proper programming style. They may gain limited understanding of proper style by reading code samples, observing an instructor write code with proper style, or by receiving feedback on homework submissions. In our research, we evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative pedagogical approach in which students are provided brief instruction on proper style and are then asked to critique examples of improper style. This research answers three questions: First, when a student knows style will be graded, is proper style utilized? Second, does the student's ability to use proper style correlate with academic performance? Third, do our exercises increase the student's ability to employ proper style? We investigated the first two of these questions using data from three CS 1 courses with distinct forms of style assessment: 1) no style grading and no feedback; 2) automated style grading with feedback; and 3) hand-graded style with feedback. We investigated the third research question, by augmenting the first two course forms with our pedagogical approach. In all courses, a CS 1 style guide was distributed at the beginning of the term and similar lecture examples were used. We found that grading of style is necessary to motivate students, and that our approach shows some promise in increasing ability to use proper style.

In this chapter I talk about why we as F# developers need a style guide, and what such a guide should look like. I also outline a few principles that, independent of language, great developers follow: the principles of semantic focus, revisability, motivational transparency, and mechanical sympathy. These principles will be our guiding light in the many decisions we’ll examine in future chapters.

In the WBID Model, design and development activities are completed concurrently. The design planning, which results in the WBI Strategy Worksheet, is the basis for developing the prototypes and online instruction. Additionally, message and visual design principles help guide the development, assembly, and organization of the instruction and LMS/website content. Initial development tasks include developing an interface prototype, creating flowcharts, and developing storyboards. Later development tasks include fully developing the digital elements that will be deployed in the LMS, converting prototypes into Web pages, and incorporating media. Formative evaluation procedures are included to ensure that resulting online instruction meets design specifications.
