Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content. -

Design One Project Three Introduced October 21. Due November 11
Design One Project Three Introduced October 21. Due November 11. Typeface Broadside/Poster Broadsides have been an aspect of typography and printing since the earliest types. Printers and Typographers would print a catalogue of their available fonts on one large sheet of paper. The introduction of a new typeface would also warrant the issue of a broadside. Printers and Typographers continue to publish broadsides, posters and periodicals to advertise available faces. The Adobe website that you use for research is a good example of this purpose. Advertising often interprets the type creatively and uses the typeface in various contexts to demonstrate its usefulness. Type designs reflect their time period and the interests and experiences of the type designer. Type may be planned to have a specific “look” and “feel” by the designer or subjective meaning may be attributed to the typeface because of the manner in which it reflects its time, the way it is used, or the evolving fashion of design. For this third project, you will create two posters about a specific typeface. One poster will deal with the typeface alone, cataloguing the face and providing information about the type designer. The second poster will present a visual analogy of the typeface, that combines both type and image, to broaden the viewer’s knowledge of the type. Process 1. Research the history and visual characteristics of a chosen typeface. Choose a typeface from the list provided. -Write a minimum150 word description of the typeface that focuses on two themes: A. The historical background of the typeface and a very brief biography of the typeface designer. -

Pietro Bembo and Standards for Oral and Written Discourse: the Forensic, Dialectical, and Vernacular Influences on Renaissance Thought
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 254 894 CS 504 879 AUTHOR Wiethoff, William E. TITLE Pietro Bembo and Standards for Oral and Written Discourse: The Forensic, Dialectical, and Vernacular Influences on Renaissance Thought. PUB DATE Apr 85 NOTE 29p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Central States Speech Association (Indianapolis, IN, April 4-6, 1985).

DESCRIPTORS Communication Skills; *Discourse Analysis; *Renaissance Literature; *Rhetoric; *Rhetorical Criticism; Speech Communication; *Standards; Theories; Writing (Composition) IDENTIFIERS *Bembo (Pietro); *Speaking Writing Relationship ABSTRACT Traditional assumptions about oral and written discourse persist among various philosophers ,and critics., Careful examination of the context for traditional assumptions, however, suggests that current scholarship should pursue altered lines of inquiry. Peculiar influences on Renaissance standards of purpose, style, and theme illustrate the nature of the problem, especially the works of Pietro Bembo, a Renaissance humanist chancellor and religious administrator. First, his forensic priorities in the principles and practice of rhetoric focused critical attention on a limited setting and purpose of discourse. Second, although written communications were customarily designed for oral proclamation, Renaissance developments in dialectic stressed the written word and promoted practical training in communicative skills outside rhetorical -

Bluebook Citation in Scholarly Legal Writing
BLUEBOOK CITATION IN SCHOLARLY LEGAL WRITING © 2016 The Writing Center at GULC. All Rights Reserved. The writing assignments you receive in 1L Legal Research and Writing or Legal Practice are primarily practice-based documents such as memoranda and briefs, so your experience using the Bluebook as a first year student has likely been limited to the practitioner style of legal writing. When writing scholarly papers and for your law journal, however, you will need to use the Bluebook’s typeface conventions for law review articles. Although answers to all your citation questions can be found in the Bluebook itself, there are some key, but subtle differences between practitioner writing and scholarly writing you should be careful not to overlook. Your first encounter with law review-style citations will probably be the journal Write-On competition at the end of your first year. This guide may help you in the transition from providing Bluebook citations in court documents to doing the same for law review articles, with a focus on the sources that you are likely to encounter in the Write-On competition. 1. Typeface (Rule 2) Most law reviews use the same typeface style, which includes Ordinary Times New Roman, Italics, and SMALL CAPITALS. In court documents, use Ordinary Roman, Italics, and Underlining. Scholarly Writing In scholarly writing footnotes, use Ordinary Roman type for case names in full citations, including in citation sentences contained in footnotes. This typeface is also used in the main text of a document. Use Italics for the short form of case citations. Use Italics for article titles, introductory signals, procedural phrases in case names, and explanatory signals in citations. -

Coil Loop for Exhaust-Air Energy Recovery
Coil loop for exhaust-air energy recovery An exhaust-air energy-recovery system can reduce utility costs by capturing and using energy that would normally be lost to the Devices (including total- exhaust air stream. energy wheels and heat pipes) other than the coil A coil loop can be applied either to the primary supply-air system loop described here can or to independent systems such as the dedicated ventilation exchange sensible and/or system that serves a laboratory. The effectiveness of the coil latent heat for energy loop typically ranges from 45 percent to 60 percent for recovery. recovering sensible heat. Figure 4–2 illustrates how the coil loop works. During the heating season (Inset A), heat extracted from the exhaust air stream (EA) warms the air brought into the building. Operation of the coil loop is limited to prevent the supply-air temperature from exceeding the cooling set point. (This condition is most likely to occur on mild days during the spring and fall.) Preconditioning the outdoor air (OA) in this manner reduces the heating load, which in turn reduces the energy consumption of the HVAC system. Figure 4–2 Operating modes for coil-loop energy recovery Inset A • winter operation Inset B • summer operation Coil-loop operation reverses during the cooling season (Inset B). Sensible heat is extracted from the air brought into the building and is rejected to the cooler and drier exhaust air stream. This time, preconditioning by the coil loop reduces the cooling load and, in turn, the energy consumption of the HVAC system.
