Questions of Style: Literary By Michel Hockx Reviewed by Edward M. Gunn MCLC Resource Center Publication (Copyright November 2004) Michel Hockx Questions of Style: Literary Societies and Literary Journals in Modern China, 1911-1937. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2003. ISBN: 90 04 12915 4 (hardcover). The concept of style that Hockx pursues in this study of Republican-era literature is a set of features involving not only language but also lifestyle, style of organization of literary activity and production, and style of publication (13). This method of research opens up a broader vision of literary activity and production to systematic study than has existed. Graduate students for decades have been sent into the stacks of libraries to acquaint themselves with journals and their appearance and content, but perhaps
never with the rigor and scope that Hockx has brought to this task of making journals the text of study, rather than the context. His survey of literary organizations and their journals reveals that, as much as Shanghai played a key role in national distribution of journals, it was not the hub of literary societies themselves nor the writing of their members, which were spread across the nation. The “horizontal reading” method across issues of specific journals—not necessarily in bed—calls attention to the role of journals in shaping a unity of or at least strongly suggestive links among the material submitted by various individuals. An examination of abusive criticism demonstrates

Last month I was traveling in northeastern Thailand for work with a couple of my Thai colleagues. The food in the Northeast is truly spectacular. Meals are worthy of special consideration up there, and I’ve had some of my most memorable meals in Thailand in the most unassuming places in that region. One trip we had an unforgettable smoky, crisp chicken from a roadside vendor that grilled the chicken over old oil barrels. On
my last trip, we had the unfortunate luck to have booked a return flight at 1pm. This meant lunch at the airport. (A universal truth – airport food is dicey.) When we sat down in the airport restaurant, without hesitation my colleague ordered us each a plate of Chicken with Holy Basil with rice and a fried egg on top. There was nothing particularly unique

If you don’t subscribe to CWN, you ought to: Italian political party petitions for Latin Mass Rome, Dec. 13, 2006 (CWNews.com) – Italy’s National Alliance party is leading a petition drive among Catholics in the Liguria region, asking the bishops there to allow at least one Sunday Mass each week celebrated in the Tridentine rite. The National Alliance, concerned about the steady influx of immigrants from South America and Eastern Europe into Liguria, argues that the use of the 1962 Missal would be an effective way to help integrate the new residents into the region’s traditional culture. Formed by an alliance of the Italian Social
Movement with members of the defunct Christian Democrat party, the center-right National Alliance has moved sharply away from its historical connection with Benito Mussolini’s fascist movement, and

To puzzle out how a company has performed in the past and where it might be heading, financial ratios can't be beat. The problem has always been data entry.

Democrats have been saying that for years, but now Newt Gingrich, of all people, has changed the conversation. As the AP put it, “The firebrand former House speaker broke with what has become a reflexive Republican hard line on immigration, calling for ‘humane’ treatment for otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, establishing deep family and community ties. Gingrich suggested they should be provided a pathway to legal residency but not citizenship. Republicans, he said, should see illegal immigrants through the prism of another issue near and dear to the GOP faithful: family values.” Is Newt
right, or are other Republicans correct to take a hard line on immigration issues? Will the GOP position cause Hispanics to refuse to vote for Republican candidates — and thus doom them in many elections? Should the GOP say the same thing, but in a nicer way? If you have a comment on this or any

THE RACE: Polls Show Presidential Race Tightening With about five months to go, the presidential race is tightening, polls show, with voters nearly evenly divided between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, his likely Republican challenger. Obama and Romney are locked in a dead heat over handling the economy, the top concern of voters, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows. They are tied at 47 percent. Overall, 49 percent said they back Obama for re-election and 46 percent preferred Romney, a statistically insignificant difference. Other recent national polls show a similarly close margin. Earlier polls generally showed the former Massachusetts governor holding a slight lead over Obama on economic issues and Obama slightly ahead overall. But the tightening follows an aggressive attack on Romney’s business credentials by the Obama campaign, including ads painting him as a job-destroying corporate raider at Bain Capital, the private-equity firm he co-founded. Romney called the attacks "character assassination." But Obama defended the tactic on Monday as legitimate and suggested Romney’s background
was a poor qualification for the White House since being president involves more than "maximizing profits." An NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, meanwhile, suggested that Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage two weeks ago was a political wash, with 17 percent saying it makes them more likely to vote for him and 20 percent saying it makes them more likely to vote for Romney, who opposes gay marriage. Sixty two percent said it makes no difference in their vote. With U.S. unemployment still hovering above

In my last post I talked about the concept of moral dissonance, relating to our ability to accept the idea of the death penalty, specifically using our assassination of Bin Laden as the center of that discussion. I wasn’t sure if “moral dissonance” was even a concept in use. I’ve googled it a bit, and found that (as you would expect) it is a phrase that’s used. Here’s an article on Wikipedia discussing cognitive dissonance, and tying it to the idea of moral dissonance. We all find ourselves faced with decisions we need to make, or positions we need to support or condemn. Sometimes the decisions we make or the positions we support are at odds
with our core moral compass. In those cases, we can either recognize, accept, and live with the moral dissonance, or we can justify our decision in some way – building a case that makes it an acceptable exception to our moral compass.

Don Diego is the master shaman of Sachavacay, he fully embodies the ancient healing traditions of the Amazonian curanderos (traditional healers). He is a man dedicated to uncovering the most profound truths that this life has to offer, which has propelled him on a life-long path of learning. At a young age, he was readily identified as a pure-hearted vessel into which the age-old wisdoms of the Amazon were transmitted, and he spent his formative years apprenticing to elder shamans throughout the region. A diligent student of the Amazonian master plants, Don Diego has internalized the lessons of his masters, wisdom poorly understood in other cultures, that the plants themselves are the purest teachers. Most of what he has learned has been revealed to him in moments of solitude and deep introspection due a mixture of Divine grace and relentless dedication to his path. His body, mind and spirit
have become a repository of the magnificent knowledge gleaned directly from a vast pharmacopoeia of plant medicines, and he has learned how to apply this knowledge to spiritual evolution.

"...(My) take on the whole issue of open standards versus open source? I would say this: If it doesn't have an open-source reference implementation, the term "standard" is an abuse of the language. That's still a very strong position by today's standards. But it won't be in three to five years. If it doesn't have an open-source implementation, how do you know what the standard means?" Eric Raymond, Co-Founder of the Open Source Initiative In this article we provide some insights into the relationship between non-code based open assets, open development processes, and open standards. The insights are based on a case study of the OpenAccess (OA) Project of the Silicon Integration Initiative. The unique relationship between the OA standard's openness, evolution
and adoption is an example of how open processes could be used to enable design tool interoperability, innovation, and cooperation.

As a home brewer, I’m fascinated by the fermentation. And Olympia appears to have a respectably large home brew culture, supporting two beer- and wine-making supply shops (Rocky Top on the Westside, and Healthcrafts on the East). And, well, Olympia as a town has a long-standing beermaking history on a commercial scale, what with Olympia Brewing Company‘s long shadow. But I’ve often wondered why, with the exception of the upwardly mobile Fish, Olympia doesn’t really have much in the way of small scale beer manufacturers. I’m starting to suspect the reason is our local brewers are, well, interested in fermenting other things. So perhaps trying to capture alcohol as the primary goal of fermentation is no longer so obvious, at least not to my fellow
Olympians. Perhaps the reason why there are so few brewpubs and taprooms in the South Sound is the friends of fungus and yeast have developed a taste for bitters other than

Many individuals use social media to adopt an alter ego for personal or professional reasons—or just to be an ass. In some cases it is planned and calculated, and in others the platform simply emphasizes or exaggerates the individual’s personality. Be it your social media personality or an alter ego, we each have one. This list could easily be created with social-scientific personality names such as lurker, moderator, or curator. But I’ve chosen to title them by their celebrity equivalents to personify the corresponding social media engagement traits. Consider it a game: How many of the people you engage with online can you match with each personality? 1.

MSG: Tasty! (2011) Jazz recordings cannot punch listeners in the nosewell, not literally. But when a recording hits as hard as MSG's Tasty!, it certainly feels like it. Saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, a Guggenheim Fellow and distinguished Player, has been applying his punchy style, first in projects with pianist Vijay Iyer, but lately in creative endeavors such as Apex, with saxophonist Bunky Green and pianist Jason Moran, in duo with saxophonist Steve Lehman, and with his South Asian-influenced work in Indo-Pak Coalition and The Dakshina Ensemble. Here, he teams up with Paris-based Indo-Dutch drummer Chander Sardjoe, and Irish bassist Ronan Guilfoyle. All three players are well-versed in the music of South India, but this session comes more from Brooklyn than it does Bangalore. The playing is gritty, raw and confrontational, with Mahanthappa's music best described as equal parts Jackie McLean and Steve Coleman; Blue Note hard bop of the 1960s infused with an M-BASE dynamic. Recorded in 2006 by this trio, a year after
forming, the players exhibit a chemistry normally attributable to much longer association. The compositionsfive by Mahanthappa, and three from Guilfoyleall require the players to turn on a dime, shifting rhythms and patterns quickly. Guilfoyle's acoustic bass looms large throughout, but he hovers over "Installation," poking and propelling both Mahanthappa and Sardjoe before taking a solo of his own.

- In the past, terminal programs running in Konsole had no idea about the color scheme being used, although some tried to guess based on the value of the TERM environment variable. I found out that the rxvt terminal sets a COLORFGBG variable which is recognised by Vim and others. The upshot of this is that when a color scheme with a dark background is used by Konsole, Vim will automatically pick appropriate colors for syntax highlighting. The same is true for a light background. Thanks to Robert Scott for bringing the problem to my attention. - I added a handy "hidden" feature to the color schemes. Per-session random colors. This is commonly used for the background color in a color scheme so that you can tell different sessions apart at a glance - especially when you are working with thumbnails of the terminal. KDE 3 had a random hue feature, but it was random per Konsole process, which is not so useful. I say this feature is hidden because the option is not yet exposed in the GUI and requires manually editing the.colorscheme files. Adding this feature to the UI without cluttering what is currently a nice
tidy dialog will require some careful thought. - There was much tweaking in response to feedback from other hackers at Akademy. Cheers for the feedback :) Wednesday, July 11, 2007 Quick updates and Akademy thanks First

Nathan's parable-David confesses his sin. (1-14) The birth of Solomon. (15-25) David's severity to the Ammonites. (26-31) Verses 1-14 God will not suffer his people to lie still in sin. By this parable Nathan drew from David a sentence against himself. Great need there is of prudence in giving reproofs. In his application, he was faithful. He says in plain terms, Thou art the man. God shows how much he hates sin, even in his own people; and wherever he finds it, he will not let it go unpunished. David says not a word to excuse himself or make light of his sin, but freely owns it. When David said, I have sinned, and Nathan perceived that he was a true penitent, he assured him his
sin was forgiven. Thou shalt not die: that is, not die eternally, nor be for ever put away from God, as thou wouldest have been, if thou hadst not put away the sin. Though thou shalt all thy days be chastened of the

Imagine a service that cuts out 95% of the noise in the AI and robotics sector and gives subscribers precisely the information they want. This is news because Computer Review is the comprehensive one-stop resource of the global knowledge economy. Subscribers tune-in to the artificial intelligence and robotics sector to generate sales leads in aeronautics, track favorite companies in telecommunications and promote the cause of wearable technology in the marketplace. With Computer Review's online database, subscribers discover the barely touched legal studies of Artificial Intelligence or debate the growing concern about "group think" in social media.

The Justice Department announced today that it has asked a federal court in Detroit to permanently bar Calvin Carter and brothers Raheen Stroud and Laron Stroud, who do business as E-File Tax Pros LLC and Tax King, from preparing federal tax returns.
The civil injunction suit alleges that Carter and the Stroud brothers falsify customers’ income on their tax returns, frequently by fabricating business income and expenses, in order to claim the maximum earned income tax credit (EITC) for them. The EITC is a refundable credit available to certain low-income people. The maximum credit in 2010 was $5,666. Due to the method used to calculate the EITC, people with higher annual incomes may be entitled to a larger credit. Some tax prepar

IT'S NEARLY Christmas and the end of the year is coming. It's been a busy year for the information technology industry so we thought it would be a real treat for you if we rounded it all up in one neat article. So, we've trawled through hundreds of stories month by month to pick out the top headline making stories and most exciting events of the year so you don't have to. These early winter months, the first of the year, can be cold and bleak. Thanks then to Apple, which eased us in gently with an alarm clock bug that gave people some extra time in bed, China for warming us up by considering a ban on Skype, and Microsoft, which managed to delete a lot of emails belonging to its Hotmail users. Also, and perhaps because there was fighting talk in the air, Google attacked the H.264 web video standard. Which was interesting, but perhaps not as significant as what was going on elsewhere. February is a mercifully short month, and in it we learned that a security researcher had apparently infiltrated the Anonymous hacking group, and then

Here's the letter Steve Hammond sent to Mr. Logan: I regret to inform you that last week’s revelations concerning the discovery of first 87 and now possibly 93 uncounted absentee ballots has, on top of the failure to yet provide a full accounting of unverified ballots processed through Accuvote machines, eroded my confidence in your ability to successfully perform the duties of your office.

To protect them even Gods-Trio fought against these demons but they could not face Mahishasura and fled away from battlefield. He even captured Heaven and ousted all gods from there. After several centuries had passed, all gods approached Mahavishnu to redeem them from Mahishasura. Now Mahavishnu disclosed all about the boon of Mahishasura and that the demon could only be eliminated by a female power. He suggested that if gods created with their power and glory a woman warrior and endowed her with all their might and weapons, she would assassinate the demon. Before Mahavishnu had finished, there issued forth from Brahma's face a female figure with dazzling effulgence. The figure radiated from her person beams of light, which were
partly cool and partly warm. Vishnu and Shiva looked at her in amazement. But, meanwhile, similar figures, embodying the specific powers and qualities of Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Kubera, Varuna and all other gods, emanated from them. The next moment all these figures merged into a single form of a woman endowed with celestial beauty. She had eighteen arms. The gods supplied her with jewels, ornaments and gorgeous clothes and all their weapons and other attributes. This miniature renders the event most effectively.

By Dancho Danchev Over the past several quarters, we’ve witnessed the rise of the so called Police Ransomware also known as Reveton. From fully working host lock down tactics, to localization in multiple languages and impersonation of multiple international law enforcement agencies, its authors proved that they have the means and the motivation to continue developing the practice, while earning tens of thousands of fraudulently obtained funds. What’s driving the growth of Police Ransomware? What’s the current state of this market segment? Just how easy is it to start distributing Police Ransomware and earn fraudulently obtained funds in between? In this post, I’ll profile a recently advertised DIY (do-it-yourself) managed voucher-based Police Ransomware service exclusively targeting European users, and for the first
time ever, offer an inside peek into its command and control interface in order to showcase the degree of automation applied by the cybercriminals behind it. Sample underground forum advertisement of the managed DIY Police Ransomware service: According to the advertisement, the actual malicious executable is both x32 and x64 compatible, successfully blocking system keys and other attempts to kill the malicious application.

Video highlights: Big Foot Chiefs fall short in overtime of championship game MADISON The Big Foot Chiefs slowly climbed their way back into the WIAA Division 4 championship game Thursday evening against Somerset, but couldn't quite make it over the top, losing 35-33 in overtime. The Chiefs, playing in its third WIAA state title game in the past five seasons, went up 6-0 early, but fell behind to Somerset's grinding, time-consuming offense. Somerset built a 27-20 fourth quarter lead, but Big Foot, which moved the ball easily behind Mason Dixon when it had possession, tied the game at 27-27 on a short Carter
Hehr run with a little more than 5 minutes left. Somerset then moved the ball within field goal distance and a chance to win the game with seconds to go when the Chiefs' Gus Wedig crashed the line and blocked the kick, sending the game into overtime.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The 12 astronauts circling the Earth received a blessing from Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday in the first ever papal call to space. The pope addressed the crews of the linked space shuttle Endeavour and International Space Station from the Vatican. Two Italians are among the space fliers: Roberto Vittori and Paolo Nespoli. Seated before a television set tuned to NASA’s live broadcast from orbit, Benedict said he admired the astronauts’ courage, discipline and commitment. The pontiff said he hopes shuttle commander Mark Kelly’s wife continues to improve. Kelly’s wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, underwent a skull implant on Wednesday, four months
after being shot in the head in Tucson, Ariz., during a political event. Kelly, who was raised Catholic, thanked him for his kind words.

But as nervous as the Real Madrid players and fans may have been at that point, they obviously weren’t as nervous as Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero, whose unease must have caused his hands to sweat through his gloves, resulting in his inability prevent Karim Benzema from nut-megging him in the 72nd minute.

To summarize the reports, Ntrepid is tasked with creating software that allows U.S. personnel to manage up to 10 online personas. These personas would exist within the confines of social media websites like Facebook and Twitter, but would include convincing and comprehensive back-stories. These profiles would not be used domestically by the government, but would focus on international communities and probably interact in different languages like Arabic and Farsi. Government Adoption of Social Media? My initial reaction is to look at the validity of such a report. Granted, Facebook and Twitter have been credited with much of the success in protests and government dissidence in Middle Eastern and African countries. But aside from President Obama choosing YouTube as his favorite platform for addressing American citizens, the U.S. Government seems an unlikely force to take social media seriously. Many top policy makers and people of power fall within the “What’s this Facespace thingy” age range. The U.S. Government seems more likely to see the silliness of the younger generation chatting with their friends and
celebrities making outrageous comments through social media rather than see it emerging as a lightning rod for political unrest. Validity of Report? Most importantly however is the ridiculousness of the ideas within the report. Allowing a single person to control 10 social media aliases?

I’ve been thinking about mailing lists lately. You’re on somebody’s list, right? You know, you get these jokes, or PowerPoint files filled with amazing or funny photos, or low-res movie clips of European TV
ads. I know it’s trendy to make fun of those e-mailing lists, and often for a good reason; a lot of it’s hopeless junk. The chain-mail ones, the maudlin moving-spiritual tales, the ones full of capital letters and misspellings, the “astonishing photos” that are

JOHN BUTLER often uses his music to campaign for peace, protecting the environment and political causes. But he will be fighting at a meeting of creditors next week for the rights of performers, production vendors and backstage staff to be paid money owed to them after the collapse of the Peats Ridge festival. The John Butler Trio is owed $95,579.50 following the collapse of the Peats Ridge Sustainable Arts and Music Festival, according to the liquidator appointed by the company
that ran the axed festival. ''JBT is in the process of trying to recoup unpaid monies along with many other performers and contractors for their performance at Peats Ridge,'' the band's manager, Philip Stevens, said. The band is the second-largest creditor among more than 200 performers, production vendors and suppliers owed $1.27 million by Peats Ridge Pty Ltd, the company that ran the festival, which was held from December 29 to January 1 at Glenworth Valley, north of Sydney.

So, does that make it official? Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn hold hand at White House party (and she wears his jacket) There's been a spate of denials about Scarlett Johansson's relationship with Sean Penn, ever since rumours first surfaced that they were more than just friends. So the Hollywood stars are going to have to come up with an ingenious explanation about these new photos. As they left a politically-charged event in Washington D.C. Scarlett, 26, and Sean, 50, stroll casually through the grounds of the president's home holding hands - the actress wrapped up in his suit jacket. Caught red-handed: Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn leave the White House in the early hours holding hands Cover up: The actress had Penn's jacket wrapped around her as they left the annual Washington Correspondents dinner The kind of behaviour that bears all the hallmarks of a normal, loving relationship, and not a regular platonic friendship. It's not the first time the couple have been pictured displaying more intimate interaction with one another than a typical pair of friends. In early March they were pictured enjoying a cosy lunch together at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Scarlett had removed her shoes and placed her feet on Penn's lap, while they ate together
at the Versailles restaurany. Later that month it was also reported that they had gone away on a romantic trip to Mexico, where they were again seen displaying unusually affectionate body language. But the denial has been stringent from the start. Look of love?: Scarlett smiles at her rumoured beau as they make their way out of the White House grounds In February a spokesperson

Israeli ban on Gunter Grass ´infantile,´ says Salman Rushdie (ISRAEL HAYOM) Israel Hayom Staff 04/10/12) Israel Hayom Articles-Index-Top Author of "The Satanic Verses," who was the subject of an Iranian fatwa, says it´s okay to be disgusted with Grass´ poem calling Israel "threat to world peace," but banning him is wrong • Dershowitz: Yishai´s ban "foolish and self-defeating." Following the publication of Nobel laureate Gunter Grass´s poem "What must be said," Israeli politicians and Jewish leaders lashed out at the German author for saying that Israeli warnings about striking Iran threaten "the already fragile world peace." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the poem "shameful," while Interior Minister Eli Yishai
on Sunday said Grass would be considered a persona non grata in Israel. By Tuesday, however, a backlash to such reactions appeared to emerge, with Grass´s poem (published last week in German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung) and his freedom of speech being defended not only by German ministers and the German public, but also by the likes of author Salman Rushdie and staunch Israel supporter Professor Alan German Health Minister Daniel Bahr chimed in on the debate over

Video: Slam Nuba's Dominique Ashaheed wins 2012 Women of the World Poetry Slam If there's any winner in the Women of the World Poetry Slam, it's Denver, first figuratively and now literally. The international championship, in its fifth year and Denver's first as the host city, kicked off Thursday and held its second preliminary round on Friday before ending with two X chromosomes and one winner Saturday night at the Denver Art Museum. After four days of competition, Denver's own Dominique Ashaheed took home the title. Can we say poetic justice? This is not Ashaheed's first rodeo. The poet already holds another national championship title for her role on Denver's 2011 Slam
Nuba roster. Women of the World, which places Denver in the running to host future and larger slam gigs, is now the city's second concurrent national title. But after maintaining the highest overall rank through both preliminary rounds, it seems the only person who is surprised by Ashaheed's final victory is the poet herself. Two days after her international win, Ashaheed has yet to recover from the final round, in part because she still hasn't adjusted

Oh Auntie Seraphic! I think by this point you are quite entitled to shorten your name to 'Auntie Seraph." You are not just angel-like, but a real angel, indeed, a spiritual auntie for us little poppets. Just as I consider St. Therese to be a spiritual mother, I think women on earth who are not in heaven yet are most appropriately termed Spiritual Aunties.

The Orange County Register is reporting that the Food Truck Jamboree is coming to the Hyatt Regency Irvine January 27th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Imagine if Downtown Fullerton had something like this but on a weekend. Maybe add some music and activities for the kids. Unfortunately, many communities do not support food trucks because they compete against brick and mortar restaurants and generally have lower operating overhead. Local government doesn’t like food trucks for a few reasons. Their tax structure is such that they pay their sales tax within the city/county which they’re based and not where the tax was
collected. Some cities have began regulating food trucks in an effort to capture tax revenue and level the playing field for local businesses. The fact that the trucks can drive into a city, sell food for an hour or two, then drive out of the city has caused code enforcement officers to take notice and issue citations for not having a city business permit.

It used to be that many managed service providers—especially those targeting SMBs—were reluctant to present clients with IT service-level agreements (SLAs). These were
contracts issued by corporate behemoths, and the stigma behind them was that they rarely favored the customer—an image that SMB-friendly MSPs didn’t want to create. As the industry has evolved, however, not only do these documents protect MSP
