THE NEW ACADEMIC BUILDING OPENS by Hope Trama OCTOBER 2012 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF SUNY COLLEGE AT OLD WESTBURY #529 T H E www.catalystatoldwestbury.comCATALYST“IGNITING THE MIND” FREE THE NEW ACADEMIC BUILDING OPENS By Hope Trama he long-awaited New Academic Building has finally opened. The Tmajority of classes for the School of Arts and Sciences, School of Business, and School of Education are taking place in this new facility, which has dramati- cally changed campus life away from the old Academic Village building. The only classes being held in the Academic Village this fall are those for PowerTrack Math. Not only are there forty brand new classrooms, but they are all smart rooms with up-to-date technology. Of the com- puter labs in the new building, four are for “general purposes,” while others are prioritized for social sciences and modern language classes, computer science, teacher education, and business. This facility will not only provide Old Westbury with a new learning atmo- sphere, it will also have two large lounges and numerous sitting areas available for students during their breaks. The first floor lounge has a Dunkin’ Donuts, due to popular demand. Wi-Fi access is available in the lounges, along with the rest of the building. The 147,000 square-foot building has four floors, including the basement. The smart classrooms are equipped with computers, DVD equipment, and large screens, which make it easier for film use. Previously in the old Academic Village professors had to push TV’s on wheels into the classrooms. (Cont. on page 3.)

FREE, HATEFUL, AND POSTED: RETHINKING FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION OF HATE SPEECH IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD Abstract: Speech is meant to be heard, and social media allows for exaggeration of that fact by providing a powerful means of dissemination of speech while also dis- torting one’s perception of the reach and acceptance of that speech. Engagement in online “hate speech” can interact with the unique characteristics of the Internet to influence users’ psychological processing in ways that promote violence and rein- force hateful sentiments. Because hate speech does not squarely fall within any of the categories excluded from First Amendment protection, the United States’ stance on hate speech is unique in that it protects it.

En China mantiene el nombre original de DouYin, pero en 2018 se extendió por todo el planeta con el nombre de TikTok tras su fusión con la app Musical.ly.

  • A Linguistic Analysis of Their Written Discourse
    Spanish politicians in Twitter : A linguistic analysis of their written discourse Ricardo Casañ Pitarch Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain) [email protected] Abstract In Spain, politics is often seen as a profession rather than a service, and thus political discourse should be considered a specialized genre subjected to specific rules and convention. In the 2010s, a new tendency to campaign in politics was the use of social networks, allowing the publication of messages in a virtual environment and the possibility of interacting with other users, Twitter being a popular network. The purpose of this research is to analyze a corpus of 630 tweets published by four Spanish political leaders in their personal Twitter accounts, and consequently to describe their communication style in this social network with the hypothesis that their political views and interests influence their messages. In order to achieve our aim, this research focused on the analysis of written text, emoji, multimedia affordances, and hashtags, and how these elements influenced the politicians’ communication style when dealing with some relevant topics at the time this study was carried out. Keywords: written discourse, Spanish politicians, social networks, Twitter, communication. Resumen Los políticos españoles en Twitter: un análisis lingüístico de su discurso escrito En España, la política suele concebirse como una profesión más que como un servicio, y, por ello, el discurso político debe interpretarse como un género especializado que está sometido a una serie de reglas y convenciones específicas. En la década de los años 2010 surgió una nueva manera de hacer campaña en política mediante el uso de las redes sociales, las cuales permitían la publicación de mensajes cortos en un entorno virtual y la posibilidad de interactuar con otros usuarios.

After a series of Advisory Board unsuccessful reorganization plans, the Club board voted to sell Woodcrest in a Myron Blumenfeld voluntary bankruptcy auction. Ann Cannell Judith Chapman In an attempt to protect this significant property, North Shore Land Alliance Louise Harrison (NSLA) put together a group of investors to bid on the property. The “North Shore Eric Kulleseid Neal Lewis Land Alliance Group” was composed of the Village of Muttontown, the Town of Robert Mackay Oyster Bay, neighbors of the Woodcrest Club, a private investor and NSLA. While Sarah Meyland our $15.25 million bid was more than the “stalking horse” bid, we did not win but Peter Schiff John Turner did learn a lot about the process. If NSLA had a “fast action” revolving fund of $10 Rick Webel million or more, we would have moved earlier and possibly saved the Club for Richard Weir conservation.
