What kind of microphone is this? It’s as long as a pole vault pole!
The image shows the U.S. House of Representatives chamber where members are gathered, some seated and some standing and conversing. In the background, the American flag hangs prominently above the speaker's podium. The foreground shows a female reporter holding a microphone and a smartphone, delivering a live news segment, possibly at the United States Capitol. The reporter appears to be Hispanic, possibly in her late 30s. Her estimated income range is around $80,000 to $150,000 USD, and she may identify with Catholicism. Her sexual orientation appears to be heterosexual, and her political affiliation leans towards the Democratic party. She may harbor social biases regarding class differences and gender roles, and racial biases related to stereotypes about certain ethnic groups and perceptions of intelligence. She seems excited and focused, dressed in a dark coat, showing interest in political journalism and news reporting, but potentially disinterest in charity work, environmental activism, and community service. The reporters seem to possess high emotional stability and self-control, hence we can target them with both niche and general types of products and services. The niche products/services we can target them with are: "Schöffel" Outdoor apparel, "Beretta" firearms, "Tudor" watches, "Bose" noise-cancelling headphones; and the common products/services we can target them with are: "Verizon" mobile phone plans, "Starbucks" coffee, "Nordstrom" clothing, "Netflix" streaming services.

Déjà con en 2002:
Soutien à Françoise Sagan En 2002, il initie avec Jean-François Coulomb une pétition demandant une « solution rapide et décente aux problèmes fiscaux de Françoise Sagan », condamnée pour une fraude fiscale sur ses revenus de 1994, devenant de fait redevable à l'État de 838 469 euros, en considérant que si « Françoise Sagan doit de l'argent à l'État, la France lui doit beaucoup plus : le prestige, le talent, un certain goût de la liberté et de la douceur de vivre . » (Wikipédia)

The Role of Age in Second Language
Development
Introduction The age factor in second language acquisition has never been a central point of interest for Diane Larsen-Freeman; however, she did make some important contributions to this area in the early years of her career. For example, in 1991 she produced a very widely used book with the late Michael Long containing a very erudite and substantial section on this topic, entitled “Age” (Larsen-Freeman & Long, 1991: 274-294), in which the line taken was broadly that unless second language acquisition gets under way in childhood, there is no hope of the acquirer consistently attaining native-like proficiency in the language in question, whereas, if it begins in childhood, consistent native-like proficiency is achievable. It was a controversial view at the time; however, little did anyone expect that some thirty years later the issue of the role played by age would still be a matter of a lively debate. In this article we explore some of the shifts and advancements that have taken place in the last three decades, outlining the main issues generating controversy, and showing that we are – regrettably – no closer to any simple answer as to the role of age in second language acquisition than we were thirty ago. We argue that the widespread belief in the crucial role of age is not only not supported, but often countered by empirical findings. We then look at the impact of the age debate on the situation in foreign language teaching. Lastly, we discuss the importance of reconsidering the role of age in L2 acquisition for language learning in a lifelong perspective. Here, we are aided by a theoretical framework that Diane Larsen-Freeman has been instrumental in developing in the more recent years of her scholarly activity: Complex Dynamic Systems Theory.

SuperRam
16K statis for $299
Byte mag. October 1978.

#vintage #vintageComputing #computer #hardware #memory #ram
Introducing SuperRamT 11 16K static memory, the one that's leaping tall price barriers at a single bound. It saves you about $100 on the usual cost of a big 16K memory for your S-100 system. SuperRam™ 16K is the latest in cost-efficient memory designs by George Morrow, designer of the best-selling ECONORAM* memories. SuperRam™ 16K is configured as four indepen­ dent 4K blocks, each separately addressable and write-protectable. Designed to meet the proposed IEEE Standard for the S-100 bus (see IEEE Computer, 5/78), all signals are fully buffered-including address and data lines. And Morrow's design uses just 11 chips to keep the board uncrowded and trouble-free. SuperRam™ 16K comes as an easily assembled kit, with solder mask and parts legend. Ask for the SuperRam™ 16K memory kit at your local computer shop. Or if unavailable locally, call your BankAmericardNisa or Master Charge order to 415-524-5317, 10-4 Pacific Time. Or send check or money order to Thinker Toys™, 1201 10th St., Berkeley, CA 94710. Add $3 for handling; Cal. res. add tax. *ECONORAM is a trademark of Godbout Electronics A product of Morrow's Micro-Stuff

Tha C3-S1 by Ohio Scientific

The most Popular!
#vintageComputing #RetroComputing
The C3-SI by Ohio Scientific Possibly tt. world's most popular floppy disk based microcomputer. Since its introduction in August, 1977, the Challenger Ill has gained tremendous acceptance n small business, educational and industrial development applications. Thousands of C3-S1 's have been delivered and today hundredsofC3-S1 demonstrator units are set up at computer retailers around the country. Why has the Challenger 111 become so successful n the fiercely competitive microcomputer industry? Here are just a few of the possible reasons. • The Challenger Ill is the fastest microcomputer in BASIC (see "BASIC Timing Comparisons," Kilobaud, October, 1977, where Ohio Scientific out benchmarks all competitors). • The Challenger 111 is the only computer system with a 6502A, 6800 and Z-80 offering the programmer all popular micros for maximum versatility.

C’était le cas dans la Grèce antique.
silogora.org/le-tirage-au...
Alors que l’élection était considérée comme une procédure oligarchique, le tirage au sort caractérisait la « démocratie » pour les aristotéliciens et probablement aussi pour l’opinion commune de l’époque. Platon et Aristote y étaient hostiles, parce qu’ils estimaient que l’extension de son usage conduisit la démocratie à des excès et que le tirage au sort ne pouvait garantir aucune compétence. En décrivant les nombreux usages de cette pratique dans l’Athènes des Ve et du IVe siècles avant notre ère, Paul Demont montre à quel point le tirage au sort jouait un rôle central dans la vie générale comme dans la vie quotidienne de la Cité. Il nous permet ainsi de réfléchir aux divers mondes possibles aujourd’hui.
