It was the end of the pool season, but before the pool drained for the colder months, the Hinds pool committee thought it would be a fun thing to do for the dog owners in the community to let their pooches plunge in the pool. According to her owner, pool committee member Sarah Wakelin, Dottie had a great time at the pool although being a bulldog she sinks more than swims, but loved to splash around. The Hinds pool will go to the dogs again this Sunday – from 12 noon to 2pm. PHOTO LAURA BAGRIE Above – This pooch looks blissful as it enjoys a dip at the Hinds Community Pool. Thunder struck Firefighters were called to an area near Fairton after lightning splintered a tree, causing a nearby pump shed to fume. Fire and Emergency (Fenz) confirmed the strike caused smoking to the shed at a property near the intersection of Works Road and State Highway 1. A local farm manager said the strike splintered a tree, causing a current to travel to the shed about 40 metres away. Smoke could still be seen about 20 minutes later.

Christian’s passion for Doctor Who and all things Time Lordly began when he was but an infant; memories of The Pirate Planet and Destiny of the Daleks still haunt him, but his clearest classic Doctor Who memory remains the moment the Fourth Doctor fell from a radio telescope… When the announcement was made in 2003 that Doctor Who would be returning to TV, Christian was nowhere to be seen – in fact he was enjoying himself at the Munich Oktoberfest.

  • Analysing the Language of Television the Case of Media Cockney
    Analysing the language of television The case of Media Cockney Claire Timmins and Jane Stuart-Smith Department of English Language University of Glasgow Fachbereich Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaften Universität Hannover 15 November 2004 Analysing the language of television The case of Media Cockney Paper overview This paper investigates the linguistic, and specifically, phonetic nature of popular television shows set in London (media- Cockney), namely Only Fools and Horses, The Bill, and EastEnders. All three shows topped viewing ratings for their genre at the time of our data collection (spring 2003), and were also very popular with our informants. Note that the results for GOOSE/FOOT for Kat and Alfie are based on very small numbers of tokens. Subsequent measurements of these vowels from another episode confirm our findings, and will be incorporated into the written version of the paper. JSS/CT 31/03/05 Analysing the language of television The case of Media Cockney • Why analyse accents portrayed on television? • Previous research on represented accents • ‘media-Cockney’ – the accent of television shows set in London • Our sample: police drama; comedy; soap • Methods •Results • Concluding remarks Background: TV and accent change • traditional view: sociolinguists deny effect of watching popular television on accent change, insist on face to face interaction as mechanism (e.g. Milroy and Milroy 1985) BUT • speculations about a possible role for television (e.g. Bayard 1990 on New Zealand English) AND • recent findings in British English accents provoke discussion of the topic (e.g. Williams and Kerswill 1999) The Glasgow problem • least geographically mobile, working-class adolescents in Glasgow, Scotland • using accent features typical of South East/London English, e.g.

  • Cache/Sample
    Templates In the last chapter, you saw how to take a well-formed HTML document and turn it into a stylesheet by adding the XSLT elements <xsl:value-of> and <xsl:for-each> to pick out information from a source XML document and produce an HTML result. The stylesheets that we looked at were simplified stylesheets. Simplified stylesheets are good as a starting point when you're creating a stylesheet, and they can be all you need in some cases. However, to utilize the more sophisticated functionality of XSLT, you need to use full stylesheets. In this chapter, we'll take the simplified stylesheet that we developed during the last chapter and turn it into a full stylesheet. I'll also introduce you to templates as a way of breaking up your code and look in a bit more detail at how XSLT processors construct a result from some source XML. You'll learn: ❑ What full stylesheets look like ❑ How the XSLT processor navigates the source document to create a result ❑ How to break up your code into separate templates ❑ How templates help with document-oriented and unpredictable XML ❑ How to create tables of contents in your pages using template modes XSLT Stylesheet Structure The simplified stylesheets that we used in the last chapter are a specialized form of stylesheet that make a good starting point when we're creating an XSLT stylesheet. Simplified stylesheets aren't all that common in larger applications because they're fairly restricted in what they can do, especially with document-oriented XML. Technically, simplified stylesheets are defined in the XSLT Recommendation in terms of how they map on to full stylesheets.
