![]() But Valve has added some mind-bending mechanics and tools to the mix.Īs the player advances through the Apeture Labs they're introduced to new items that the research facility has created to exercise their grey matter and potentially kill them off. ![]() Yes, using the Portal Gun to navigate one's way through every new environment is the core premise of the game – and cubes, gun turrets, floating platforms and pressure pads all make a return. While the set-up will sound incredibly familiar to Portal veterans, Portal 2 is hardly a retread of the first game. They're also soon reunited with GlaDOS, who takes umbrage at their presence and decides that a new round of potentially lethal tests is in order. In the opening stages of the game, players are introduced to Wheatly, a stammering, motor-mouthed droid voiced by Stephen Merchant, and reacquainted with the Portal Gun, which creates interconnecting portals capable of bending distances, and physics, in their environment. Walls are crumbling, test chambers malfunction and every room the player moves through is riddled with smashed windows, natural overgrowth and broken machinery. Aperture is a wreck: without GlaDOS – Portal 1's female AI antagonist – to run things, the facility is in an advanced state of disrepair. Portal 2 kicks off with player waking up in the Aperture Laboratories, the human behaviour research facility from the first game, and finding out very quickly that things have gone haywire. Still, Valve has managed to go one better than what its team created before, and then built on its impressive foundations. The game seemed like lightning in a bottle and a sequel sounded unnecessary. The first Portal, released in 2007 as part of the Orange Box, was a short, ingenious puzzler wrapped up in first-person-shooter mechanics, underpinned by a darkly comic story about scientific research taken to dangerous extremes. Well, thankfully, Portal 2 isn't the game that's going to cause this, which is remarkable when you consider it's arguably the sequel of 2011 with the toughest act to follow. ![]() ![]() I could give you so many examples of composers who are not all that good in my opinion, to put it nicely, but are excellent at networking. I'm not saying that you don't have to have talent, you absolutely do. These aspects of the business are every bit as important as talent these days. If I would go back and do anything differently, I would have taken more business classes, I would have focused more on self-promotion, networking, that whole thing. You may not have the luxury of making the kind of connections I did when I first got into writing music for films. The main thing I would say is, get your self-promoting chops together, because you may not have the luxury of having representation. You know the advice I have now would probably be much different than when I first started out. I'm very blessed I'm able to go to conventions, play live concerts and include this music and people still seem to love it. I never expected it and it continues to this day. I tell you, that is a surreal and wonderful experience. ![]() Fans tell me, 'this is what your music did to me as I was growing up'. I'm watching them watching the movie and it's a very surreal experience. I can look around at the faces in the theater and they're anticipating all these things. I'll go to screenings every once in a while, I look at all these fans, they know every line of the movie, they know every piece of the music, they know the music literally better than I do at this point. I think the music played an important role after all. Specifically, he said, "Do you know how many fans there are of your music?" I really had no idea.

In addition, it’s then more difficult for Jutoh to pull out headings to make a table of contents, as an example of one of various tasks that are made easier when specific named styles are used. It’s then very hard to ensure that the book is consistently formatted throughout if you use named styles, you only need to edit the styles themselves to change the way individual paragraphs look, whereas direct formatting can, in the worst case, require every single paragraph to be reworked. Direct formatting is when, instead of choosing a named style for a paragraph (such as “Heading 1” or “Body Text”), the author has instead stuck with the “Normal” style for each paragraph and applied formatting such as bold, text size, indentation, alignment directly using tools. The most common problem facing an author or formatter is the use of direct formatting in the original document. Not only does this result in a high quality book, but it improves your formatting skills. Our approach with Jutoh is to give you as much control as possible, retaining your original formatting but providing detailed suggestions and tools for improving your formatting, via error messages, warnings, tips and copious in-application help topics. This only works for the lowest of expectations and can’t be described as a professional approach, because as experience has taught us, most original Word (or other word processor) documents are not created with ebooks in mind and usually require some work – despite efforts by some companies to persuade you that instant, effortless conversion from any document is possible. No or very little chance to tweak or reformat, very few suggestions for improvements – you’ll miss all sorts of problems that can occur in your document. ![]() This works better with novels, which have relatively little special formatting, but doesn’t really scale to more complex books and may not allow the level of control you need even for simple formatting.Īnother approach is simply to suck in your original Word document and spit out an ebook.

Total ethnic minority population lives in London, but community languages are spoken throughout the United Kingdom. Maolra Seoighe was a monolingual Irish-speaker living in a bilingual country that had lurched towards English, leaving him without standard rights and. Predominant among the monolingual Irish speakers were the rural poor, in particular those. much of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy remained monolingual Gaelic speaking well into. Of the five million people estimated to be living in Ireland at the end of the eighteenth century, two million were monoglot Irish speakers, one and a half million were bilingual in Irish and English with a further one and a half million English speakers. Other community languages include Cantonese, Italian, Polish, Greek and Turkish. Although some of them may speak Irish, it is reasonable to assume that the vast majority of them are not active Irish speakers. Although there is little public awareness of the issue of language. The largest group (spoken by 2.7% of the total UK population) are South Asian languages such as Bengali, Punjabi, Hindi and Gujarati. There are also large numbers of community languages, brought into the country and sustained by recent immigrant communities, which account for more than 5.5% of the population.

Present-day collectivists concur they want a national plan which taxes away about 40 per cent of the peoples’ earnings in order to redistribute these billions of tax dollars to politically selected individuals and groups. The theory of Mercantilism held that government must control and manage the economy, else production would be chaotic and the right people would not be properly rewarded. ![]() The major theme of The Wealth of Nations has to do with the interaction between government and the economic order. Mercantilism, in short, is the prototype of today’s totalitarian state, where government - by controlling the economy - exerts a commanding influence over people in every sector of their lives. Now, if someone holds the power of decision over you as to whether you eat or starve, he’s acquired considerable leverage over every aspect of your life you do not bite the hand that feeds you! If someone controls your livelihood, you do his bidding, or people start talking about you in the past tense! What do you get? You get political control over what you eat. Take the theory of Mercantilism and boil it down. The modern authoritarian state, of course, has more efficient methods of surveillance and control than did the governments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but the basic idea is similar. Mercantilism was the planned economy par excellence the nation was trussed up in a strait jacket ofregulations just about as severe as the controls imposed today upon the people of Russia or China. The goal of Mercantilism was the enhancement of national prestige by accumulating the precious metals, but the goal was not nearly so significant as the means employed to reach it. The nations of Europe at this time embraced a theory of economic organization called "Mercantilism." Mercantilism was based upon the idea of national rivalry, and each nation sought to get the better of other nations by exporting merchandise in exchange for gold and silver. ![]() There were numerous laws designed to regulate trade, but the laws were difficult to enforce, and so they were ignored. These colonial manufacturers and farmers had been practicing economic freedom all along simply because the Crown was too busy with other matters to interfere seriously. There had to be carpenters and cabinet makers, bricklayers and blacksmiths, weavers and tailors, gunsmiths and bootmakers. The colonies, of course, were largely agricultural but of necessity there were also artisans of all sorts. There was a Whig faction in the British Parliament and many Englishmen were bound to the American cause by strong intellectual and emotional ties.Īdam Smith’s book was warmly received here, not only because it was a great work of literature, but also because it provided a philosophical justification for individual freedom in the areas of manufacture and trade. Adam Smith was a Whig the men we call Founding Fathers were Whigs. The Tories favored the King and the old regime the Whigs worked to increase freedom in society. In England, as in the colonies, there were two opposed political factions-Whigs and Tories. This is a remarkable fact, for there were only three million people living on these shores two centuries ago, and about one-third of these were Loyalists. The Wealth of Nations sold briskly in the American colonies, some 2,500 copies within five years of publication, even though our people were at war. Smith had made a name for himself with an earlier volume entitled Theory of the Moral Sentiments, published in 1759, but he is now remembered mainly for his Wealth of Nations, on which he labored for ten years. We celebrate in 1976 the bicentennial of two significant events, the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, and the publication of The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.

The future of social mediaĪbout the only definite for the future is that social media will continue to be all about sharing, community, communication and networking. And, as new social media platforms like Twitch emerge, it’s likely that we’ll continue to see newer and newer formats of social media content and sharing emerge. But today, video is the most popular form of social media content. In the early days of social media, this was mostly limited to images and text. One of these is the ability to embed almost any form of multimedia content into a post or update. In addition, there are various other conventions that many of the most popular social networks use. For example, most “feeds” are organized in reverse chronological order, but due to the immense explosion of social media content, algorithms now play a key role in determining what gets shown, and to whom. Of course, there are various iterations on all of these. They also have a way of organizing connections into some form of network – sometimes these connections are co-workers (as in the case of LinkedIn), sometimes they are fellow travelers (as with Trip Advisor), and sometimes they are friends and family (as with Facebook).Īnd, finally, all the big social media sites include some form of “feed” or “stream” that enables users to find popular, like-minded or noteworthy content. And all of them embed certain content-sharing tools (such as likes and shares) to make sharing content as easy, convenient and real-time as possible. First of all, they all require some sort of profile, avatar image and/or user handle in order to get started. That being said, every social media site follows certain basic conventions. ![]() Basic conventions and features of social media Most importantly, they showed that average, everyday people could opine on movies, sports or tech gadgets just as well as the big-name media publications. These early bloggers using blogging platforms like WordPress were actually the first “ social media influencers,” and they helped to define many of the conventions and formats that still define social media today, such as the use of “tags” to help find content and the method of time-and-date-stamping all new content. They believed that all media should be social, and that media should not be limited to a few big media companies. And, arguably, sites like Yelp (founded in 2004) and Trip Advisor (founded in 2000) can also be considered among the early pioneers of social media, building in a lot of sharing and opinion-oriented content into a vibrant community that became more powerful the more people that joined.īut the real genesis of social media can be traced back to the early days of blogging in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when brave media innovators decided to take on the mainstream media world with quirky, fun, independent blogs that covered everything from technology to entertainment. The same holds true, to a lesser extent, for social networking sites like Friendster or Six Degrees. For example, MySpace actually launched back in 2003, and at one time, was the most popular social network in the world. ![]() Early roots of social mediaĪnd, yet, even before Facebook launched in 2004 or Twitter launched in 2006, there was already a generation of social media sites that created the foundation for what exists today. All of these sites have hundreds of millions of monthly active users around the globe, and all of them have become so popular and so instantly recognizable that it almost seems impossible to remember a time before they actually existed. For most people, the term “social media” is synonymous with a handful of high-profile social platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram – and for good reason. |
