A New Teletext Charncter Set with Enhanced Legibility FLORIS L. vAN NES Abstract-Teletext is difficult to read, partly because of the letter be read by somebody with an average visual acuity, i.e., fonts employed. Present fonts are contained in a matrix of 6 (horizon· 1.0 (equivalent to 20/20), subtends 5 min of are. To avoid tal) x 10 (vertical) elements.

  • Gerard Manley Hopkins' Diacritics: a Corpus Based Study
    Gerard Manley Hopkins’ Diacritics: A Corpus Based Study by Claire Moore-Cantwell This is my difficulty, what marks to use and when to use them: they are so much needed, and yet so objectionable.1 ~Hopkins 1. Introduction In a letter to his friend Robert Bridges, Hopkins once wrote: “... my apparent licences are counterbalanced, and more, by my strictness. In fact all English verse, except Milton’s, almost, offends me as ‘licentious’. Remember this.”2 The typical view held by modern critics can be seen in James Wimsatt’s 2006 volume, as he begins his discussion of sprung rhythm by saying, “For Hopkins the chief advantage of sprung rhythm lies in its bringing verse rhythms closer to natural speech rhythms than traditional verse systems usually allow.”3 In a later chapter, he also states that “[Hopkins’] stress indicators mark ‘actual stress’ which is both metrical and sense stress, part of linguistic meaning broadly understood to include feeling.” In his 1989 article, Sprung Rhythm, Kiparsky asks the question “Wherein lies [sprung rhythm’s] unique strictness?” In answer to this question, he proposes a system of syllable quantity coupled with a set of metrical rules by which, he claims, all of Hopkins’ verse is metrical, but other conceivable lines are not. This paper is an outgrowth of a larger project (Hayes & Moore-Cantwell in progress) in which Kiparsky’s claims are being analyzed in greater detail. In particular, we believe that Kiparsky’s system overgenerates, allowing too many different possible scansions for each line for it to be entirely falsifiable. The goal of the project is to tighten Kiparsky’s system by taking into account the gradience that can be found in metrical well-formedness, so that while many different scansion of a line may be 1 Letter to Bridges dated 1 April 1885.

New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. This bulletin provides information on diagnosing and/or repairing some 2011-2019MY vehicles (refer to table below for applicable model and engine), which may exhibit a symptom of excessive oil consumption. Follow the flowchart on page 2 and instructions outlined on page 3 in this procedure to repair a vehicle exhibiting excessive oil consumption.

Engine oil is expected to be consumed in normally operating engines. Therefore, regular oil level checking and oil changes are required as part of the factory maintenance schedule. • The purpose of oil changes is to prevent oil deterioration. A separate requirement is to maintain the oil level, independent of the oil change interval. It is necessary to check the oil level at every fueling stop and replenish the oil, if necessary. This is one of several check items that the owner’s manual recommends at every fueling stop. • Operation with deteriorated or low engine oil causes reduced lubrication and cooling, as well as impaired operation of hydraulic components.

    Florida Polytechnic University S/U Grade Option FAQ Why Is Florida Polytechnic University offering S/U grading options? • In an attempt to help students continue to progress towards their degree and future career aspirations in a timely manner, the Florida Polytechnic University Administration and Faculty have approved a change in the current Grading and Withdrawal Policies for Spring 2020 courses. Is my course eligible for the S/U grading option? • Not all courses are eligible for S/U Grading. Graduate Courses, unless already designated as such (e.g. Thesis, Project, or Research hours) and all Senior “Capstone” courses have been deemed ineligible for S/U grading. What letter grades are eligible for an S option? What Letter grades are eligible U option? • For courses that allow the S-grade, you must have a C or higher. • For courses that allow the U-grade, you must have a C- or below. Am I required to take the S/U option? • No, for instance if you have an A in the class, it would not be in your best interest to take an S grade for that class. If you have 3 A’s and 1 C then you could opt to take an S grade for the C grade so your GPA would not go down. • If you earn a D- or better, take the grade to progress, unless the course you are in is a pre- requisite where you must earn a C or better for future courses. • If you earn an F, it would be better to take the “W” and have the “W” on your transcript and retake the class rather than a “U.” (See note below for Bright Futures.) When do I choose a class or classes for an S grade? • We recommend that you start planning now, but do not submit your form yet as your decision is final.
