Specifically, I am eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to work with HotWired’s creative director Barbara Kuhr. Not only did she spark many of the theories and processes in this book, but put together an unbelievably competent and articulate design team. Two of those design- ers in particular, Eric Eaton and Douglas Bowman, have been indispensable sources of inspiration. Doug also designed this book, and spent long hours making sure every detail was perfect. I’m also thankful that I was able to convince Steven Champeon to edit this book. He suffered through countless iterations and desperate phone calls when I couldn’t find the words for the ideas I had. He has inspired much of this work, and has pointed me in the right direction on matters of small-batch bourbon and alternative country music. The folks at New Riders have been a joy to work with. Michael Nolan and Karen Whitehouse encouraged me to take on this project and pushed me to make it the best it could be. They also took me out to dinner a lot, which really helps. I also had many, many conversations during the writing of this book that helped to make it what it is. Among those who’s opinion I value are Joel Truher, Peter Merholz, Taylor, Tim Gasperak, Christina Wodke, Jon Littell, Drue Miller, Steven Johnson, Mike Kuniavsky, Nadav Savio, ASWD_001121.qxd 11/27/00 11:17 AM Page viii viii ix Jonathan Louie, Lance Arthur, John Shiple, Jesse James Introduction Garret, Alex Wright, Margaret Gould Stewart, Michael Kay, Kim Ladin, Frank Leahy, Dave Hendry, Michael Sippey, Greg Veen, Mark Hurst, June Cohen, David Reid, Jeffrey Zeldman, Derek Powazek, and a bunch of others whose names I’ve undoubtedly missed.

Suddenly the screen explodes into spinning text and bright-colored objects careening onto the page.

Stepping out and passing through the pillared porticoes was a Who's Who of Swiss society-the head of state, national sports icons, former ministers and army generals-all of whom had come to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Werner Spross, the owner of a huge horticultural business empire. As one of Zurich's wealthiest and best-connected men, it was perhaps fitting that 650 of his "close friends" had been invited to attend the event, a lavish banquet followed by a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Defiantly greeting the guests were 200 demonstrators standing in the square in front of the opera house. Mostly young, wearing scruffy clothes and sporting punky haircuts, they whistled and booed, angry that the opera house had been sold out, allowing itself for the first time to be taken over by a rich patron. They were also chanting slogans about the inequity of Swiss society and the wealth of Spross's guests. The glittering horde did its very best to ignore the disturbance. The protest had the added significance of being held on the tenth anniversary of the first spark of the city's most explosive youth revolt of recent years, The Movement.

  • “I Don't Care for My Other Books, Now”
    THE LIBRARY University of California, Berkeley | No. 29 Fall 2013 | lib.berkeley.edu/give Fiat Lux “I don’t care for my other books, now” MARK TWAIN’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY CONTINUED by Benjamin Griffin, Mark Twain Project, Bancroft Library Mark Twain’s complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author’s death, as he requested. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Twain’s life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Like its predecessor, Volume 2 mingles a dia- ry-like record of Mark Twain’s daily thoughts and doings with fragmented and pungent portraits of his earlier life. And, as before, anything which Mark Twain had written but hadn’t, as of 1906–7, found a place to publish yet, might go in: Other autobiographies patiently and dutifully“ follow a planned and undivergent course through gardens and deserts and interesting cities and dreary solitudes, and when at last they reach their appointed goal they are pretty tired—and they The one-hundred-year edition comprises what have been frequently tired during the journey, too. could be called a director’s cut, says editor Ben But this is not that kind of autobiography.

  • Southern Comfort
    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

Frankly, almost never. Even the most professional looking royalty statements can mask issues resulting in unreported royalties. Often there is a lack of visibility with actual gross sales, the amount or type of deductions is not transparent; and sales territories, channels and customers are undisclosed. Additionally, unapproved products are not highlighted, unexploited rights remain dormant and hidden, and other issues are not revealed.

  • 122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The
    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • BACHELORARBEIT Browser Und Ihr Einfluss Auf Die Entwicklung Des
    BACHELORARBEIT im Studiengang Informatik/Computer Science Browser und ihr Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des Web Ausgeführt von: Thomas Greiner Personenkennzeichen: 0910257037 BegutachterIn: Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Gerd Holweg Gols, 15.01.2012 Eidesstattliche Erklärung „Ich erkläre hiermit an Eides statt, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbständig angefertigt habe. Die aus fremden Quellen direkt oder indirekt übernommenen Gedanken sind als solche kenntlich gemacht. Die Arbeit wurde bisher weder in gleicher noch in ähnlicher Form einer anderen Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegt und auch noch nicht veröffentlicht. Ich versichere, dass die abgegebene Version jener im Uploadtool entspricht.“ Gols, 15.01.2012 Ort, Datum Unterschrift Kurzfassung Der Browser ist von heutigen Computern nicht mehr wegzudenken. Seit der Entstehung des World Wide Web und mit ihm des ersten Browsers gab es Ereignisse, die die Geschichte beider maßgeblich verändert haben. Vom Ursprung des Web, über den ersten Browser Krieg zwischen Microsoft und Netscape und die folgende Ära des Internet Explorer 6, bis hin zu den Anfängen des heute noch vorherrschenden zweiten Browser Krieges, war es stets ein Auf und Ab, wenn es darum ging, das Web zu dem zu formen, wie wir es heute kennen. Die Frage, die sich hierbei auftut, ist doch, wie viel Einfluss die Browser tatsächlich auf die Entwicklung des Web gehabt haben oder ob möglicherweise sogar das Web die Entwicklung der Browser beeinflusst hat. Das ist die zentrale Frage hinter dieser Arbeit. Diese wird durch die Kombination aktueller Zahlen über die Marktanteile der jeweiligen Browser und Aussagen einflussreicher Personen wie Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt und Mitchell Baker, sowie die Meinungen zweier österreichischer Unternehmer, die von ihren Erfahrungen mit dem Web berichten, beantwortet.
