He packs a lot of expression in the faces and bodies of his characters. Initially, I thought vary little of this, I mean Disney characters were primarily from an animated medium in my mind, and comics based on them weren't anything more than a way to squeeze a few extra merchandizing dollars from your property, right?

    Types of Lexicographical Information Needs and Their Relevance for Information Science

In information science, user needs are often described through very specific examples rather than through a classification of situation types in which information needs occur. Furthermore, information science often describes general human needs, typically with a reference to Maslow’s classification of needs (1954), instead of actual information needs. Lexicog- raphy has also focused on information needs, but has developed a more abstract classification of types of informa- tion needs, though (until more recent research into lexicographical functions) with a particular interest in linguistic uncertainties and the lack of knowledge and skills in relation to one or several languages. In this article, we sug- gest a classification of information needs in which a tripartition has been made according to the different types of situations: communicative needs, cognitive needs, and operative needs. This is a classification that is relevant and useful in general in our modern information society and therefore also relevant for information science, including lexicography.

    Bursting Money Bins the Ice and Water Structure

    Bursting Money Bins The ice and water structure Franco Bagnoli, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy and Center for the Study of Complex Dynamics, University of Florence, Italy Via G. Sansone, 1 50019 Sesto Fiorentino (FI) Italy [email protected] In the classic comics by Carl BarKs, “The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill” [1], Uncle Scrooge, trying to defend his money bin from the Beagle Boys, follows a suggestion by Donald DucK, and fills the bin with water. Unfortunately, that night is going be the coldest one in the history of Ducksburg. The water freezes, bursting the ``ten-foot walls'' of the money bin, and finally the gigantic cube of ice and dollars slips down the hill up to the Beagle Boys lot. That water expands when freezing is a well-Known fact, and it is at the basis of an experiment that is often involuntary performed with beer bottles in freezers. But why does the water behave this way? And, more difficult, how can one illustrate this phenomenon in simple terms? First of all, we have to remember that the temperature is related to the Kinetic energy of molecules, which tend to stay in the configuration of minimal energy. In general, if one adopts a simple ball model for atoms, the configuration of minimal energy is more compact than a more energetic (and thus disordered) configuration. But this is not the case for water. FIG. 1: A Schematic representation of the water molecule Indeed, water molecules resemble the head of MicKey Mouse (see Fig. 1), the two hydrogen atoms being the ears.

Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie. Donald is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech and his explosive temper. Along with his friend Mickey Mouse, Donald is one of the most popular Disney characters and was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time in 2002.[2] He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character[3] and is the fifth most published comic book character in the world after Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine.[4] Donald Duck rose to fame with his comedic roles in animated cartoons. He first appeared in The Wise Little Hen (1934), but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit which introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse. Throughout the 1930s, '40s and '50s he appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards.

    Donald Duck Comics and U.S. Global Hegemony

    Modern American History (2020), 1–26 doi:10.1017/mah.2020.4 ARTICLE Ten-Cent Ideology: Donald Duck Comic Books and the U.S. Challenge to Modernization Daniel Immerwahr The comic-book artist Carl Barks was one of the most-read writers during the years after the Second World War. Millions of children took in his tales of the Disney characters Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge. Often set in the Global South, Barks’s stories offered pointed reflections on foreign relations. Surprisingly, Barks presented a thoroughgoing critique of the main thrust of U.S. foreign policy making: the notion that the United States should intervene to improve “traditional” societies. In Barks’s stories, the best that the inhabitants of rich societies can do is to leave poorer peoples alone. But Barks was not just popular; his work was also influential. High-profile baby boomers such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas imbibed his comics as children. When they later pro- duced their own creative works in the 1970s and 1980s, they drew from Barks’s language as they too attacked the ideology of modernization. In the 1950s, the U.S. public began to hear a lot about Asia. The continent had “exploded into the center of American life,” wrote novelist James Michener in 1951.1 He was right. The follow- ing years brought popular novels, plays, musicals, and films about the continent. Tom Dooley’s Deliver Us from Evil (1956) and William Lederer and Eugene Burdick’s The Ugly American (1958) shot up the bestsellers’ lists. The novel Teahouse of the August Moon (1951), set in Okinawa, became a Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play (1953) and then a movie starring Marlon Brando (1956).
