Literary Analysis Guide | English Major & Minor | Goshen College In writing about literature or any specific text, you will strengthen your discussion if you offer specific passages from the text as evidence. Rather than simply dropping in quotations and expecting their significance and relevance to your argument to be self-evident, you need to provide sufficient analysis of the passage. Remember that your over-riding goal of analysis writing is to demonstrate some new understanding of the text. How to analyze a text? Read or reread the text with specific questions in mind.Marshal basic ideas, events and names. Principles of analyzing a passage Sample analysis paragraphs from James McBride’s The Color of Water An important difference between James and his mother is their method of dealing with the pain they experience. The image of running that McBride uses here and elsewhere supports his understanding of his mother as someone who does not stop and consider what is happening in her life yet is able to move ahead. from Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye

Academic Earth | Online Courses | Academic Video Lectures Educational Videos for Kids about Science, Math, Social Studies How Vinyl Records Are Made–And How to Pirate A Vinyl Record | DO IT: Projects, Plans and How-tos Vinyl records have a unique place in the world of music media. Aside from their warm analog tone, vinyl is the only popular medium that is nearly impossible to create or duplicate at home – something that can’t be claimed by cassettes, CDs, DVDs, and certainly not mp3s. Not to be an apologist for piracy, this inherently creates more value for recorded music than using an easily reproducible medium (be it physically or digitally) does. But as we all know, digital is the present and the future, and I am not complaining about that at all; one look at my iTunes playlist and you’ll know what I mean. A while back, the site qj.net ran a piece on how to “pirate” a vinyl record using normal silicone casting materials. Sadly, the link is broken, but thanks to the Wayback Machine, I’ve pulled the archived copy up and am attaching it here for posterity: Posted May 14, 2006 at 06:49AM by Anna S.Listed in: Misc. So you thought you’ve pirated everything huh? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Pour in the mixture.

Ausweis Ausweis A Reality-Hacking Experiment. The world's changing. On a tape I bought at a yard sale, I heard the narrator say, "People are conditioned to believe the printed word." You know I really thought that people would laugh and not let me get anywhere with them. But success came really quickly. My next big success came with the "50 Cents Off" card. What was it that compelled him? Of course, there's the story of the artist who paints replicas of U.S. currency to prove some of the same point. I started to get obsessed with how abstract and far-reaching I could make the words on the card...could they really overcome physical limitations? And why do these cards make everyone smile? I made the "Add To Your Family Card," after I realized most of the previous ones were rather masculine. A little further in the "far-reaching" direction... Trying to restore some balance to the noise most of these create. Another powermad one. Just how absurd can we make this?! Ninja-style... poof! Links

Le management à l’heure du digital Alors que de nouveaux outils apparaissent presque tous les jours, faisant de la digitalisation de l’économie et des organisations une des bascules les plus signifiantes de ces dernières décennies, le management, longtemps perçu comme une activité stable, doit lui aussi aujourd’hui opérer une mutation, et même devenir un acteur clé, un levier de ce changement. Un manager ne peut se contenter d’être un suiveur. Il se doit d’incarner le changement auprès de ses équipes. Quel que soit le contexte économique ou social de l’entreprise, il porte le projet de la direction et lui donne sens. Certes, mais au-delà du discours, cette bascule digitale pose un réel défi aux managers d’aujourd’hui : comment parvenir à gérer l’usage personnel, qui consiste à s’initier pour soi-même, et le partage collaboratif, au profit de l’efficience collective. De nombreux managers se sentent désorientés et dépassés face à ces nouveaux défis. 1- Accepter la dynamique collaborative
