How Many Cals In A Small Fried Rice Curry Sauce

Netspeak =

Any form of communication is second to only the appropriate features and is geared to achieve the proper purposes only. With the development of new ways of communication, using newer equipment and technological developments created an entirely new varieties of old behaviors and communication. Any change involves another change. Recently a new, notable sphere of human activity, which does have specific and distinct ways of communicating and therefore the appropriate style of speech is the Internet.

Internet, a global network, electronic communication, so for example, IRC, instant messaging, SMS provides an opportunity to communicate information, however, information transmitted via the network have specific characteristics and are constructed in a specific style - netspeaku. Netspeak has been accurately described by Monika Górska-Olesińską , there is no need to build a detailed analysis, but I want to draw only one main thing for me netspeaku.

Just as before the creation of writing, printing, photography, radio or television resulted in the formation of various types of speech, such as species of journalism, so today the emergence of new computer technologies and the development of the Internet gives rise to new species of expression, such as blogs.
Style, Internet Internet variant of the Polish language, the language of the Internet, the language of the Internet, netlish, weblish, netlingo, wired styles cyberspeak, e-language, e-talk, e-disc like to call this phenomenon is primarily geared to the objective What is rapid and effective communication. Hence, so many "errors", errors, lack of punctuation and spelling, abbreviations, acronyms, stirring speech to the letter, skryptualizowanie speech, language mixing, etc. In the same way can be explained why more and more websites are built in Esperanto. Well, after all, Esperanto is system that can be mastered in a relatively short period of time, and thereby gain the ability to communicate and exchange information with people around the world, because as we know there is no corner of the globe where there is a group practicing funkcjonowałaby Esperanto.

Remember finally that one of the synonyms virtual token is Practical . Connotation of practicality is easy to explain. After all, this virtual reality is in fact a practical reality meets a whole range of utilitarian and pragmatic tasks. gives, for example, the exact characteristics of the virtual elements the same as those elements are actually existing in reality . Virtual reality has been created if only for practical purposes.

Does A Dazzle Need Software?

practical universal source


reading texts in their electronic form is not the most pleasant form of contact with the work of the reader, but it is this form of information is perfect for the processes of information-retrieval systems. It is not surprising that the activities of Bibliographic moves to the Internet. Perhaps soon the majority of contacts such as on line user - the bibliography will be carried over the network, while probably blurred the boundaries will allow a clear distinction between these types of sources as a catalog, bibliography, index, or even the library collection. They will be integrated within the framework created hipermedialnego time, a universal source of information. If your idea of \u200b\u200bcrowding out traditional documents through an electronic has a chance of success, it will probably reach a specific category, which is developing the information. Contrary to appearances, this is not a pessimistic vision.
From the information point of view, it seems that the most important feature of hypertext, which allows you to mix and match objects information. This gives the current interpretations of even breakthrough opportunities. Here are the records of library catalogs, but also such information on the Internet bookselling located in a very simple way, often by a "clicking" allow the user to order the book, indicates in the library, or repository, and where it is located closest to the position (even if we were in "remote" corner of the world), shows online bookstores where you can purchase the full text of document supply if it is available to the public in electronic form, indeed allows to read its contents, abstract or excerpt. Studies are mostly devoid of bibliographic existing restrictions: the territorial, linguistic, chronological, or of the type described materials. Records in the bibliography using the invention of hypertext and the Web are no longer static. Meet not only the function of indicating, Signal, but they are alive, they will be given new power is impressive from the eyes of a specific user, the target sought by the information already available in a click computer mouse. They can also move the user directly to the document containing the wanted content to specific phrases, or lessons per entity. Cataloguing a wealth of new features. It was not only descriptive but also the role of animation, it becomes an interactive tool for responding to user activity.

Bright Red Palms And Soles

How criticized Wikipedia? Malgorzata Kowalska

Since Wikipedia has become an alternative to any traditional encyclopedias (print), henceforth always looking for a hook on it to show various errors, lapsusy and all the dark sides of this social networking project. Criticism is carried out either by demonstrating that the Free Encyclopedia passwords are full of defects, such as information about the alleged death of the poet and completely this encyclopedia can not be compared with the traditional, what we know is not true. I recall the article Justyna Hofmokl and Alka Tarkovsky, who summoned a number of arguments for showing, inter alia, that the number of errors in traditional encyclopedias is comparable with those detected in the Wikipedia.

Secondly trying to wyłapywanymi, famous lapsusami undermine the quality of passwords Wikipedia. I mean well-known example of Polish - namely, the password Henryk Batuta . Which proves that you can not necessarily intentionally or unintentionally write some shit on any of the passwords, but can we concoct a password and all such pre-conceived then put on Wikipedia. Thirdly

also trying to be more intelligent to point out that all the sites based on the model of Web 2.0 are doomed to disaster because they create too much collectivized systems or become too individualized a cluster of points view. I especially recommend the article at this point Filiciak Miroslaw, who presented the views, calling for those aspects: Zizek and the Lanier article or Peter G. Zielinski that shows how committed the error, however, Zizek comparing the content creator of the content recipient.

Another possibility is that criticizing yet this encyclopedia by statistical calculations. Nearly 70% of the entries in the English version of Wikipedia edits about 2% of users. Hmm, 2% in this case is about 40 thousand editors, for example when printed encyclopedias are classic boasts several thousand editors. I can not imagine that the number of people involved in the formation of encyclopaedia in these cases were in any way similar. Himself to admit that all of a sudden edited the three, if I remember correctly, the password in Wikipedia and I'm her big supporter. Just at the point where I thought it right I added a password. And this is the so-called. the wisdom of the crowd. Just that every Pole you just added a password, and we have 40 million-encyclopedia. You can not? Sure can, just need to educate people.

This, of course, problems do not stop here came to revealed that a large number of the editors of Wikipedia entries is not who he gave, namely that not a scientist with the titles of scientific .

In fact, I wonder what is the difference whether the person who authored, developed and modified twenty thousand password is something other than that declared. If errors are not reproached him, since he did a good job you should be glad that he found someone who could show great initiative and determination. This is further proof that everyone can współredagować this huge knowledge base. This is the clou whole project all sites coined in the formula 2.0.

Despite attempts to undermine the role of Wikipedia, and a generic criticism (in the style: "Wikipedia is grossly uneven" from year to year comes passwords and number of visits is increasing . As the number of passwords, which comes about five each day in Polish language version and thousands of eyes to constantly monitor the various articles were correct password schemes stylistically and materially and to correlate the relationship or to be placed in appropriate categories.

all those who recognize the shortcomings in the Encyclopedia Wiki also proposes to sit in front of the monitor and put some intellectual effort to edit and correct errors. Contestation is very fashionable in Poland. Complain about anything and everything rather than roll up their sleeves and get down to work.

Maybe all these attempts to undermine the quality of passwords Wikipedy, some linked to the export as it is;), are the only form of struggle to leave everything unchanged, to leave zastanego right, fight for the status quo. Everywhere in the encountering resistance and resentment, and the road changes often leads to a situation we all well know from history, and he is one of the librarians adapted to the present attempts to make any changes to the activities of libraries.

: digitizing their collections of Polish libraries. Warsaw 2007 Publisher SBP.

Start digitizing print collections of the year 1971, when Michael Hart has introduced manually into the computer's Declaration of Independence of the United States. Initiative taken by him led to a burgeoning group of volunteers and turned in perhaps the biggest non-commercial site with books in a digital world. While the first library digital world was not financed nor mentioned above by the federal nor any state budget of Project Gutenberg, both on Polish soil as the first appeared in 1997's Network. This co-created by volunteers of the initiative ahead by more than five years opened with great fanfare Polish Internet Library, which unfortunately due to many different perturbations is not developing as it would expect that the environment of librarians.


Today, digital libraries developing in spontaneously. Although the number of libraries that have joined the move the contents of books threatened by the passage of time or other adverse factors increases, it is still too small and in the eastern part of the Polish do not exist at all. While digitizing evoked response in the form of numerous publications, however, until the book Margaret Doe has not been described in a comprehensive manner.


"The ultimate objective of development - according to the author - is characteristic of digitization strategies adopted by individual libraries, the overall evaluation of the achievements of libraries in this area and attempt to show this type of business prospects for the future." Issues raised in the book is important especially in view of ongoing development aimed toward the Polish economy based on knowledge. Without the resources offered by digital libraries have not been able to protect a substantial part of national heritage, which consists of virtually unknown works of authors whose works have been issued once. Malgorzata Kowalska divided the book into two parts. The first, entitled "Application of digital technology in the protection of the heritage of the documentary is devoted to the digitization of the manifold aspects ranging from technical through organizational, ending the law. "Digitizing their collections in Polish libraries" is the title of Part Two, devoted to the practical effects of that action.


Even though the author's words contained in the preface to the fact that this book does not fulfill the function of the guide, it should be stressed that it should become necessary to release the reference library of every person in charge of the work dygitalizacyjnymi in the library. Without a doubt he deserves it because of the wide issues undertaken in the development of bringing together in one place, topics addressed in many articles scattered over many journals and publishing agreements. However, remained an area overlooked by the author. Although the book's title clearly indicates that the issue is summed up on issues related to the digitization of library collections undertaken, but it seems that it lacks even a subsection devoted to initiatives undertaken at the intersection of law, which are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to the European Digital Library and the awakening of controversy, Google, the author actually did not describe any of the project also sets dygitalizującego protected by copyright. And you may find that because of digitization run by commercial companies, the role of the library as a center for collecting the literature will be threatened, and to read the book, not purchased in person, today's library users will be forced in the near future, use one of web services operating on the borderline of the law.

entire review is in the "Librarian's Guide," No. 9 / 2007 p. 24 - 26

Thank you for the gift of Mrs. Margaret in book form.
