The American Language/Chapter 5
The characters chiefly noted in American speech by all who have discussed it, are, first, its general uniformity throughout the country, so that dialects, properly speaking, are confined to recent immigrants, to the native whites of a few isolated areas and to the negroes of the South; and, secondly, its impatient disregard of rule and precedent, and hence its large capacity (distinctly greater than that of the English of England) for taking in new words and phrases and for manufacturing new locutions out of its own materials. The first of these characters has struck every observer, native and foreign. In place of the local dialects of other countries we have a general Volkssprache for the whole nation, and if it is conditioned at all it is only by minor differences in pronunciation and by the linguistic struggles of various groups of newcomers. The speech of the United States, says Gilbert M. Tucker, is quite unlike that of Great Britain in the important particular that here we have no dialects. [1] We all, said Mr. Taft during his presidency, speak the same language and have the same ideas. Manners, morals and political views, said the New York World, commenting upon this dictum, have all undergone a standardization which is one of the remarkable aspects of American evolution. Perhaps it is in the uniformity of language that this development has been most note-worthy. Outside of the Tennessee mountains and the back country of New England there is no true dialect. [2] While we have or have had single counties as large as Great Britain, says another American observer, and in some of our states England could be lost, there is practically no difference between the American spoken in our 4,039,000 square miles of territory, except as spoken by foreigners. We, assembled here, would be perfectly understood by delegates from Texas, Maine, Minnesota, Louisiana, or Alaska, from whatever walk of life they might come. We can go to any of the 75,000 postoffices in this country and be entirely sure we will be understood, whether we want to buy a stamp or borrow a match. [3] From Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, agrees an English critic, no trace of a distinct dialect is to be found. The man from Maine, even though he may be of inferior education and limited capacity, can completely understand the man from Oregon. [4]
No other country can show such linguistic solidarity, nor any approach to it—not even Canada, for there a large part of the population resists learning English altogether. The Little Russian of the Ukraine is unintelligible to the citizen of Petrograd; the Northern Italian can scarcely follow a conversation in Sicilian; the Low German from Hamburg is a foreigner in Munich; the Breton flounders in Gascony. Even in the United Kingdom there are wide divergences. [5] When we remember, says the New International Encyclopædia, [6] that the dialects of the countries (sic) in England have marked differences—so marked, indeed, that it may be doubted whether a Lancashire miner and a Lincolnshire farmer could understand each other—we may well be proud that our vast country has, strictly speaking, only one language. This uniformity was noted by the earliest observers; Pickering called attention to it in the preface to his Vocabulary and ascribed it, no doubt accurately, to the restlessness of the Americans, their inheritance of the immigrant spirit, the frequent removals of people from one part of our country to another. It is especially marked in vocabulary and grammatical forms—the foundation stones of a living speech. There may be slight differences in pronunciation and intonation—a Southern softness, a Yankee drawl, a Western burr—but in the words they use and the way they use them all Americans, even the least tutored, follow the same line. One observes, of course, a polite speech and a common speech. But the common speech is everywhere the same, and its uniform vagaries take the place of the dialectic variations of other lands. A Boston street-car conductor could go to work in Chicago or San Francisco without running the slightest risk of misunderstanding his new fares. Once he had picked up half a dozen localisms, he would be, to all linguistic intents and purposes, fully naturalized.
Of the intrinsic differences that separate American from English the chief have their roots in the obvious disparity between the environment and traditions of the American people since the seventeenth century and those of the English. The latter have lived under a relatively stable social order, and it has impressed upon their souls their characteristic respect for what is customary and of good report. Until the Great War brought chaos to most of their institutions, their whole lives were regulated, perhaps more than those of any other people save the Spaniards, by a regard for precedent. The Americans, though partly of the same blood, have felt no such restraint, and acquired no such habit of conformity. On the contrary, they have plunged to the other extreme, for the conditions of life in their new country have put a high value upon the precisely opposite qualities of curiosity and daring, and so they have acquired that character of restlessness, that impatience of forms, that disdain of the dead hand, which now broadly marks them. From the first, says a recent literary historian, they have been less phlegmatic, less conservative than the English. There were climatic influences, it may be; there was surely a spirit of intensity everywhere that made for short effort. [7] Thus, in the arts, and thus in business, in politics, in daily intercourse, in habits of mind and speech. The American is not, in truth, lacking in a capacity for discipline; he has it highly developed; he submits to leadership readily, and even to tyranny. But, by a curious twist, it is not the leadership that is old and decorous that fetches him, but the leadership that is new and extravagant. He will resist dictation out of the past, but he will follow a new messiah with almost Russian willingness, and into the wildest vagaries of economics, religion, morals and speech. A new fallacy in politics spreads faster in the United States than anywhere else on earth, and so does a new fashion in hats, or a new revelation of God, or a new means of killing time, or a new shibboleth, or metaphor, or piece of slang.
Thus the American, on his linguistic side, likes to make his language as he goes along, and not all the hard work of his grammar teachers can hold the business back. A novelty loses nothing by the fact that it is a novelty; it rather gains something, and particularly if it meets the national fancy for the terse, the vivid, and, above all, the bold and imaginative. The characteristic American habit of reducing complex concepts to the starkest abbreviations was already noticeable in colonial times, and such highly typical Americanisms as O. K., N. G., and P. D. Q., have been traced back to the first days of the republic. Nor are the influences that shaped these early tendencies invisible today, for the country is still in process of growth, and no settled social order has yet descended upon it. Institution-making is yet going on, and so is language-making. In so modest an operation as that which has evolved bunco from buncombe and bunk from bunco there is evidence of a phenomenon which the philologist recognizes as belonging to the most youthful and lusty stages of speech. The American vulgate is not only constantly making new words, it is also deducing roots from them, and so giving proof, as Prof. Sayce says, that the creative powers of language are even now not extinct.
But of more importance than its sheer inventions, if only because much more numerous, are its extensions of the vocabulary, both absolutely and in ready workableness, by the devices of rhetoric. The American, from the beginning, has been the most ardent of recorded rhetoricians. His politics bristles with pungent epithets; his whole history has been bedizened with tall talk; his fundamental institutions rest as much upon brilliant phrases as upon logical ideas. And in small things as in large he exercises continually an incomparable capacity for projecting hidden and often fantastic relationships into arresting parts of speech. Such a term as rubber-neck is almost a complete treatise on American psychology; it reveals the national habit of mind more clearly than any labored inquiry could ever reveal it. It has in it precisely the boldness and contempt for ordered forms that are so characteristically American, and it has too the grotesque humor of the country, and the delight in devastating opprobriums, and the acute feeling for the succinct and savory. The same qualities are in rough-house, water-wagon, near-silk, has-been, lame-duck and a thousand other such racy substantives, and in all the great stock of native verbs and adjectives. There is, indeed, but a shadowy boundary in these new coinages between the various parts of speech. Corral, borrowed from the Spanish, immediately becomes a verb and the father of an adjective. Bust, carved out of burst, erects itself into a noun. Bum, coming by way of an earlier bummer from the German bummler, becomes noun, adjective, verb and adverb. Verbs are fashioned out of substantives by the simple process of prefixing the preposition: to engineer, to chink, to stump, to hog. Others grow out of an intermediate adjective, as to boom. Others are made by torturing nouns with harsh affixes, as to burglarize and to itemize, or by groping for the root, as to resurrect and to jell. Yet others are changed from intransitive to transitive: a sleeping-car sleeps thirty passengers. So with the adjectives. They are made of substantives unchanged: codfish, jitney. Or by bold combinations: down-and-out, up-state, flat-footed. Or by shading down suffixes to a barbaric simplicity: scary, classy, tasty. Or by working over adverbs until they tremble on the brink between adverb and adjective: right and near are examples.
All of these processes, of course, are also to be observed in the English of England; in the days of its great Elizabethan growth they were in the lustiest possible being. They are, indeed, common to all languages; they keep language alive. But if you will put the English of today beside the American of today you will see at once how much more forcibly they are in operation in the latter than in the former. The standard southern dialect of English has been arrested in its growth by its purists and grammarians. It shows no living change in structure and syntax since the days of Anne, and very little modification in either pronunciation or vocabulary. Its tendency is to conserve that which is established; to say the new thing, as nearly as possible, in the old way; to combat all that expansive gusto which made for its pliancy and resilience in the days of Shakespeare. In place of the old loose-footedness there is set up a preciosity which, in one direction, takes the form of unyielding affectations in the spoken language, and in another form shows itself in the heavy Johnsonese of current English writing—the Jargon denounced by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in his Cambridge lectures. This infirmity of speech Quiller-Couch finds in parliamentary debates and in the newspapers; it has become the medium through which Boards of Government, County Councils, Syndicates, Committees, Commercial Firms, express the processes as well as the conclusions of their thought, and so voice the reason of their being. Distinct from journalese, the two yet overlap, and have a knack of assimilating each others vices. [8]
American, despite the gallant efforts of the professors, has so far escaped any such suffocating formalization. We, too, of course, have our occasional practitioners of the authentic English Jargon; in the late Grover Cleveland we produced an acknowledged master of it. But in the main our faults in writing lie in precisely the opposite direction. That is to say, we incline toward a directness of statement which, at its greatest, lacks restraint and urbanity altogether, and toward a hospitality which often admits novelties for the mere sake of their novelty, and is quite uncritical of the difference between a genuine improvement in succinctness and clarity, and mere extravagant raciness. The tendency, says one English observer, is to consider the speech of any man, as any man himself, as good as any other. [9] All beauty and distinction, says another, [10] are ruthlessly sacrificed to force. The Americans, in a kind of artistic exuberance, says a third, [11] are not afraid to use words as we sometimes are in England. Moreover, this strong revolt against conventional bonds is by no means confined to the folk-speech, nor even to the loose conversational English of the upper classes; it also gets into more studied discourse, both spoken and written. I glance through the speeches of Dr. Woodrow Wilson, surely a conscientious purist and Anglomaniac if we have ever had one, and find, in a few moments, half a dozen locutions that an Englishman in like position would never dream of using, among them we must get a move on, [12] hog as a verb, [13] gum-shoe as an adjective with verbal overtones, [14] onery in place of ordinary, [15] and that is going some. [16] I turn to Dr. John Dewey, surely a most respectable pedagogue, and find him using dope for opium. [17]
From the earliest days, indeed, English critics have found this gipsy tendency in our most careful writing. They denounced it in Marshall, Cooper, Mark Twain, Poe, Lossing, Lowell and Holmes, and even in Hawthorne and Thoreau; and it was no less academic a work than W. C. Brownells French Traits which brought forth, in a London literary journal, the dictum that the language most depressing to the cultured Englishman is the language of the cultured American. Even educated American English, agrees the chief of modern English grammarians, is now almost entirely independent of British influence, and differs from it considerably, though as yet not enough to make the two dialects—American English and British English—mutually unintelligible. [18] Surely no English of position equal to Dr. Wilsons or Dr. Deweys would venture upon such locutions as dope and to hog. One might conceivably think of George Saintsbury doing it—but Saintsbury is a privileged iconoclast. Gilbert Murray would blush to death if merely accused of it falsely. When, on August 2, 1914, Sir Edward Grey ventured modestly to speak of pressing the button in the interest of peace, the New Age denounced him for indulging in vulgarism, and, as one English correspondent writes to me, various other Britons saw in the locution a sign of the impending fall of the Empire.
American thus shows its character in a constant experimentation, a wide hospitality to novelty, a steady reaching out for new and vivid forms. No other tongue of modern times admits foreign words and phrases more readily; none is more careless of precedents; none shows a greater fecundity and originality of fancy. It is producing new words every day, by trope, by agglutination, by the shedding of inflections, by the merging of parts of speech, and by sheer brilliance of imagination. It is full of what Bret Harte called the sabre-cuts of Saxon; it meets Montaignes ideal of a succulent and nervous speech, short and compact, not as much delicated and combed out as vehement and brusque, rather arbitrary than monotonous, not pedantic but soldierly, as Suetonius called Cæsars Latin. One pictures the common materials of English dumped into a pot, exotic flavorings added, and the bubblings assiduously and expectantly skimmed. What is old and respected is already in decay the moment it comes into contact with what is new and vivid. When we Americans are through with the English language, says Mr. Dooley, it will look as if it had been run over by a musical comedy. Let American confront a novel problem alongside English, and immediately its superior imaginativeness and resourcefulness become obvious. Movie is better than cinema; and the English begin to admit the fact by adopting the word; it is not only better American, it is better English. Bill-board is better than hoarding. Officeholder is more honest, more picturesque, more thoroughly Anglo-Saxon than public-servant. Stem-winder somehow has more life in it, more fancy and vividness, than the literal keyless-watch. Turn to the terminology of railroading (itself, by the way, an Americanism): its creation fell upon the two peoples equally, but they tackled the job independently. The English, seeking a figure to denominate the wedge-shaped fender in front of a locomotive, called it a plough; the Americans, characteristically, gave it the far more pungent name of cow-catcher. So with the casting where two rails join. The English called it a crossing-plate. The Americans, more responsive to the suggestion in its shape, called it a frog.
This boldness of conceit, of course, makes for vulgarity. Unrestrained by any critical sense—and the critical sense of the professors counts for little, for they cry wolf too often—it flowers in such barbaric inventions as tasty, all right, go-getter, he-man, go-ahead-ativeness, tony, semi-occasional, to fellowship and to doxologize. Let it be admitted: American is not infrequently vulgar; the Americans, too, are vulgar (Bayard Taylor called them Anglo-Saxons relapsed into semi-barbarism); America itself is unutterably vulgar. But vulgarity, after all, means no more than a yielding to natural impulses in the face of conventional inhibitions, and that yielding to natural impulses is at the heart of all healthy language-making. The history of English, like the history of American and of every other living tongue, is a history of vulgarisms that, by their accurate meeting of real needs, have forced their way into sound usage, and even into the lifeless catalogues of the grammarians. The colonial pedants denounced to advocate as bitterly as they ever denounced to compromit or to happify, and all the English authorities gave them aid, but it forced itself into the American language despite them, and today it is even accepted as English and has got into the Concise Oxford Dictionary. To donate, so late as 1870, was dismissed by Richard Grant White as ignorant and abominable and to this day the more careful English will have none of it, but there is not an American dictionary that doesnt accept it, and surely no American writer would hesitate to use it. [19] Reliable, gubernatorial, standpoint and scientist have survived opposition of equal ferocity. The last-named was coined by William Whewell, an Englishman, in 1840, but was first adopted in America. Despite the fact that Fitzedward Hall and other eminent philologists used it and defended it, it aroused almost incredible opposition in England. So recently as 1890 it was denounced by the London Daily News as an ignoble Americanism, and according to William Archer it was finally accepted by the English only at the point of the bayonet. [20]
The purist performs a useful office in enforcing a certain logical regularity upon the process, and in our own case the omnipresent example of the greater conservatism of the English corrects our native tendency to go too fast, but the process itself is as inexorable in its workings as the precession of the equinoxes, and if we yield to it more eagerly than the English, it is only a proof, perhaps, that the future of what was once the Anglo-Saxon tongue lies on this side of the water. The story of English grammar, says Murison, is a story of simplification, of dispensing with grammatical forms. [21] And of the most copious and persistent enlargement of vocabulary and mutation of idiom ever recorded, perhaps, by descriptive philology. English now has the brakes on, but American continues to leap in the dark, and the prodigality of its movement is all the indication that is needed of its intrinsic health, its capacity to meet the ever-changing needs of a restless and emotional people, constantly fluent in racial composition, and disdainful of tradition. Language, says Sayce, is no artificial product, contained in books and dictionaries and governed by the strict rules of impersonal grammarians. It is the living expression of the mind and spirit of a people, ever changing and shifting, whose sole standard of correctness is custom and the common usage of the community. The first lesson to be learned is that there is no intrinsic right or wrong in the use of language, no fixed rules such as are the delight of the teacher of Latin prose. What is right now will be wrong hereafter, what language rejected yesterday she accepts today. [22]

Online Business Models 2015 mississippi
Congratulations! If you're reading this article, then you're likely not working in a cube – and if you are, this article will ensure you won't be for long.
One of the biggest mistakes made with an online business model is approaching it too casually. And in 2015, no market niche worth any money affords you this mistake … especially the membership business model.
If you like money, and have expertise in any niche market or product area, I recommend you test each of the following … each has advantages and disadvantages, so read carefully.
1. Free Membership
Yes … this is a business model to consider every time – no matter what you're marketing and selling online. Free memberships offer several benefits to the small business or startup company in the modern area.
- Immediate targeting opportunity based on interest shown – good for markets or niches with known email abuse history
- People who subscribe to free memberships have taken the second step – not the first … they're more than just a subscriber
- Great way to reward those who go beyond the browsing and create an account – discounts, tripwire offers, etc.
- One of the most popular hooks for maximizing number of customers by charging for add-ons
2. One-Time Fee
A single payment membership is often used to sell a product that allows customer access to the materials – like…
- Business Automation software
- Website design themes, apps or WordPress SEO plugins
- Cheap website hosting services or even …
- Website design auditing
If you have a product with a high refund rate, this model makes perfect sense. The higher rate could be the result of …
- Lower Cost product (like Posters For Your Office)
With a single product membership site, you won't have to worry about someone purchasing -> downloading the product -> cancelling. If the user requests a refund … access to the product can immediately be revoked as well.
This one's also good if your product is frequently updated.
3. Fixed-Period Recurring Membership
This model is the "go-to" for your high ticket items. For example, your online store may offer a host of agile startup marketing templates and dashboards, ebooks and online business tools individually – but what if someone wants all of them?
Fixed period recurring payments have become more popular in recent years. Mostly, this is because people like knowing that there is an end to payments they are asked to make.
For a fixed membership fee, you can provide value to your most loyal (and highest paying) type of customer – which should always be the focus of any business anyway. And for most niche markets in 2015, you may find this to maximize the total number of member acquisitions.
In fact, that's why we just launched unfunnel PRO, for just $1.00 a month starting out.
[feature_box style="33″ title="Try%20unfunnel%20PRO%20for%20Only%20%241.00!" alignment="center"]
Get all of the strategy guides, dashboards and epublications from the unfunnel store – plus exclusive access to events, podcasts and videos … just $1.00 for the first 30 days!
4. Unlimited Recurring Membership (monthly, annually, etc.)
The traditional membership website uses the unlimited recurring membership payment model. It's also the standard business model of your TV, cable and cell phone companies' billing models.
You typically want to use this online business model for any website in which you post new content regularly.
[BONUS] Online Business Tools and Tips for 2016
If I am honest, I was in two minds whether to add this tool publicly to the list. When I see something that I think will benefit you – then you are always the first to know.
See the thing is … I actually wish that this tool was only available for a select few – it's that powerful. I see many in our industry struggle because they are unable to:
– attract an audience
– increase opt-in's
– convert traffic
– overcome tech challenges
– capture leads on mobile devices
– deliver their content effectively
Well now there is a solution that puts an end to these issues and helps even the newest online marketer make an impact with their websites…you can get a preview of it in the video below:
OptimizePress is the new way to create high-converting landing pages, sales pages and membership portals. From what I've seen, this new platform looks set to revolutionize the way many marketers sell their products and services – I don't want you to get left behind.

Many people have tried to turn WordPress into a membership website but in the past it's been quite tricky. There are some fabulous plugins out there but you had to "tweak this" and "tweak that" and if you aren't technical, it becomes very frustrating.

Terroir wine bar, San Francisco
Read any list of the world's best natural wine bars and Terroir in San Francisco is sure to be included so I was determined to take it in on my 2 day visit to the city the week before last.
To anyone used to natural wine bars in Paris it's comfortingly familiar - unsurprisingly as it's run by a Frenchman Luc Ertoran together with his Italian business partner Dagan Ministero - hence the scattering of Italian wines, mainly from Sicily, among the largely French list. There's even a sandfilled trough outside to stub out your Gauloise.
Rather over-optimistically I was hoping to see what California had to offer by way of natural wines. There were only two open that day - an Enfield Syrah from Hayes Vineyard in the Napa Valley - fresh, stalky and about as un-Napa a wine as you could imagine (GREEN TO AMBER) and the Trowbridge 'Four Horsemen' from Lake County, a somewhat tarry blend of Portuguese varieties that was less to my taste (the same rating)
It was at this point things went pear-shaped. The girl on my left, clearly unaccustomed to natural wine was saying "I keep tasting something that reminds me a bit of vinegar' so I pitched in without thinking, concerned that she thought her tastebuds in some way defective and said it was the wine not her and that natural wine took a bit of getting used to.
Unwise. From that moment on Luc clearly decided I needed to be taken down a peg and proceeded to pick an argument about everything from natural wine aficionados who suggested that this was somehow a better way to make wine to whether natural wines fell apart on opening. (They did he insisted, pouring me one to prove his point)
The fact that I detected redcurrant flavours in a Domaine de la Tournelle Uva Arbosiana provoked an even more forceful explosion about how ridiculous tasting terms were. "If you want to analyse do something worthwhile like be a philosopher" he snorted.
I asked if he treated all his customers that way. Not, if they were there to learn, it appeared. It was clearly my presumption in pronouncing on the subject that got his goat.
Eventually he calmed down and we got on OK. He poured a Julien Sunier Fleurie (delicious though Luc said I must simply say I liked it and not pass judgment on it) and a beautifully fragrant Domaine des Sanzay 2008 Les Poyeux from the same vineyard as Clos Rougeard. I presumably knew about Clos Rougeard? No I didn't. Much eye-rolling and 'call yourself an expert' expressions.
Maybe relenting (or deciding I was in need of further education) he said he thought I might be interested in a book called Terroir et L'Humanisme (another one to add to Trevor's reading list) and refused to take any money for the wines he'd poured. I left $20 anyway.
So - a great place to drink natural wines kept in top condition. Just go in the evening when they're busy and Luc doesn't have time on his hands to pick a fight. Oh and if you know anything about natural wine don't let on. And for goodness sake don't mention redcurrants*.
* Or - worse still - that a wine reminds you of candied violets in a salad as one customer had been rash enough to do. "I mean, come onnnnn, when have you ever tasted candied violets in a salad. . . . " See what I mean? Just watch it.
For a fuller report on Terroir read this recent post from Bertrand Celce of Wine Terroirs who obviously got off more lightly than I did.
Terroir is at 1116 Folsom St, San Francisco (on 7th) +1 415-558-9946

Why are so many people in the natural wine crowd so arrogant and generally unpleasant?ReplyDelete
It's odd. I wouldn't say it was a majority but there is an angry minority. You'd think they'd be full of peace and lurve. Probably they feel misunderstood.ReplyDelete
:) Seems easier with some, let's call them normal wines ;) So, you wasn't there to learn Fiona? ;)ReplyDelete
@christer I'm always there to learn ;-)ReplyDelete
lol! sounds like you landed on the lair of the "natural wine nazi" :) either that or Luc was having a bad day. was he at least spinning some good LPs?ReplyDelete
@wine Yoda He was! Have to give him that!ReplyDelete

Guide to Getting Started with R: 2011 Update
In mid-2009, I wrote a post on getting started with R. A lot has happened in the world of R over the last two years. New books, videos, online documentation, blogs and other resources have emerged. New community structures have emerged. As such I've given the guide a major overhaul both to increase its usability and acknowledge the many exciting changes in the world of R. The updated Guide to Getting Started with R is available here..

A controversy has erupted in the Southern African nation of Malawi after a Muslim imam spoke out for legal protections and human rights for gays and lesbians. The speech made by Sheikh Mdala Ali Tambuli, "a respected Muslim scholar" has created "a backlash across the country's Muslim population," reports OnIslam.
"As religious leaders, we saying nowhere in the Bible or the Qur'an is homosexuality supposed to be promoted. On the other hand, what we are saying is that people who are practicing this act are supposed to be served on three things: They are supposed to get protection, love and also we have to look after them, because they are human beings and are totally entitled to all human rights," Sheikh Tambuli said in his presentation.
"As far as Islam in concerned, homosexuality is a sin and I make no apology for that. But I'm saying that as religious leaders, we have to take care of these men who are having sex with fellow men or those who are lesbians."
Many of the leading Muslim clerics in Malawi have publicly opposed the imam's position.
"Islam doesn't regard homosexuality as a human rights issue, we will therefore, follow the dictates of our religion to oppose any attempts to decriminalize same sex marriages in Malawi, where in the first place, it's already illegal," [Dr. Imran Shareef] said.
In its reaction to the same, Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) said promotion of "interests of homosexuals have no place and basis in Islam." "We would like to inform the general public and other fair minded Sheikhs in Malawi that the issue of homosexuality is clearly categorized in the Qur'an as evil and sinful acts as evidently seen in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah during the time of Lut when such immoral practices existed," Sheikh Idrissa Muhammad, MAM's National Chairperson said in a statement.
Islam is the second largest religion in Malawi after Christianity. About 13 percent of the country's population of 14 million are Muslim, according to the Central Intelligence Agency World Factbook. Nearly all of Malawi's Muslims adhere to Sunni Islam.
Same-sex acts are currently illegal in Malawi, as they are in at least 38 of 54 African countries. The maximum punishment is 14 years behind bars and hard labor. Malawian President Joyce Banda made international news when she promised to repeal the anti-gay laws after assuming office in May 2012. The laws have not been repealed yet but they have been suspended. Parliamentary leaders of Banda's ruling Democratic Progressive Party announced a "moratorium" on arrests and prosecutions of suspected gays and lesbians in May 2012.
Malawi faced international condemnation for the May 2010 conviction and 14-year prison sentences given to Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga. The couple was convicted of "unnatural acts" and gross indecency" after holding an engagement ceremony. The late President Bingu wa Mutharika eventually pardoned the couple on "humanitarian grounds."
Banda's move reverses the recent trend in Africa in which many LGBT persons have been increasingly singled out for prosecution. Four nations—Mauritania, Nigeria, Somalia and Sudan—boast the death penalty for gays or same-sex activity. South Africa and Seychelles are the only African nations that protect LGBT rights. South Africa is also the only African nation to guarantee marriage equality. Kenya's parliament and supreme court are considering decriminalizing its sodomy statute.

Is Your Student's Room Feeling Too Hot or Cold?
Binghamton's residence halls house 150-350 residents. As such, it's difficult to make every room the "perfect" temperature. Buildings temperatures are kept at 68-72 degrees during fall/winter and temperature controlled buildings (Cascade, Hunter, Marcy, Windham, Mohawk, Rockland & Saratoga) are kept at 72-76 degrees during spring/summer. Please note that it takes some time to get the building up to temperature; especially during the fall and spring when outdoor temperatures regularly fluctuate. If your student's room has a thermostat, please note that your adjustment range is limited.
If your student is feeling hot or cold, there are a couple of things they can do to help maintain the temperature in their residence hall room.
It may seem basic, but here are some tips for feeling cooler in their room:
- If they are not in a temperature-controlled building, place a box fan in the window - this can help pull cooler air into the room while drawing the warmer air out. (If they are in a temperature-controlled buildilng, opening windows can make it take longer for the air conditioning to cool the room down)
- Close their blinds during the day to block the sun.
- Turn off electrical heat sources (computer, lamps, tv, etc). These all generate heat.
- Dress for the heat: wear natural fabrics (cotton, silk, linen) rather than polyester, rayon or other artificial fibers. Wearing lighter colors can reflect light and heat.
Is your student feeling too cold? Here are a couple of ideas:
- Make sure their window is securely closed (being open a crack can let a lot of cold air in). If they are in an apartment or suite, please be aware that any open window will affect the heat. Sometimes they may be too cold while their roommate is too hot - they have to compromise with their room/apartment-mates.
- Make sure the heat vents are clear - if their bed is pushed up against it, the vents cannot push the hot air into the room.
- If their room has a thermostat, make sure there are no electrical heat sources (computer, lamps, refrigerator, etc) near it. The thermostat can mistake the heat generated by the appliances for the overall temperature of the room.
- Dress for the cold: while shorts and a tank top might be comfortable, chances are the halls won't feel warm enough. Wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants and socks (you loose a lot of heat through your feet!)

'American Idol' Champ Lee DeWyze Dropped by His Record Label
If 10 seasons of 'American Idol' have taught us anything, it's that viewers who vote for the winner cannot necessarily be counted on to buy that person's albums later on. In other words, for every Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, there's at least one Taylor Hicks.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the latest victim of such fickle behavior is season nine winner Lee DeWyze, who's been dropped by his label, RCA. DeWyze's debut, 'Live It Up,' has sold only 168,000 copies since its release almost a year ago, a few months after he won the Fox competition.
Regardless, a rep for the 25-year-old singer, who recently announced his engagement to model and actress Jonna Walsh, said he is "in a good place right now" and excited about other professional prospects.

13th title of Ivanovics career.
An epic game for Nick Foles, a major injury in Green Bay, Stacy starting to roll, Forte, Peterson, Graham, Gronkowki, Witten, Spiller and more in Scott Cullens 50 Points on NFL Week Nine. Wholesale Air Jordan 5 . 1. Eagles QB Nick Foles (22-for-28, 406 YDS, 7 TD) has had some success in his limited playing time, but nothing like what happened on Sunday, when he lit up the Raiders secondary, with more touchdowns than incompletions. Its the kind of performance that should put Foles at the top of the Eagles depth chart, even if Michael Vick is healthy. Of course, with Vick not yet healthy, there is time for Foles to come back to the pack. 2. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (1-for-2, 27 YDS) suffered a broken collarbone against Chicago Monday night, an injury that should keep him out for at least three weeks, but potentially longer. With Rodgers out, Seneca Wallace (11-for-19, 114 YDS, 1 TD) takes over at quarterback and that drop in talent is going to affect Packers receivers, so downgrade Jordy Nelson, Jarret Boykin and James Jones. 3. Rams RB Zac Stacy (178 YDS, 2 TD, 33 touches) continues his rapid ascent from fifth-round pick out of Vanderbilt to a rookie who has gained 307 yards from scrimmage in the last two weeks. And since Kellen Clemens is at quarterback for the Rams, theyre not shy about handing the ball to Stacy, giving him 53 carries over the last two weeks. 4. Bears RB Matt Forte (179 YDS, 1 TD, 29 touches) quietly produces, week after week, and has the most fantasy points per game (16.6) among all running backs this season. 5. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (177 YDS, 1 TD, 28 touches) was finally turned loose, after limited touches the last three games, and had a big day against Dallas. Even in what is a relatively disappointing season thus far, he has the third-most fantasy points among running backs, behind only Jamaal Charles and Matt Forte. 6. Saints TE Jimmy Graham (9 REC, 116 YDS, 2 TD, 12 targets) may have been bothered by a foot injury for a couple of weeks, but it cant be considered much of a problem any longer, after he had another huge game in Sundays loss to the New York Jets. Graham leads all tight ends with 746 yards receiving (Jordan Cameron is second with 600 REC YDS) and leads everyone with 10 receiving touchdowns. 7. Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (9 REC, 143 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) has had two 100-yard games in his three games played this season. Hes still behind Jimmy Graham on weekly tight end value, but that may be about it at this point. 8. Cowboys TE Jason Witten (8 REC, 102 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) had one of his better games of the season, his second 100-yard receiving game. He ranks fifth among tight ends with 505 receiving yards. 9. Bills RB C.J. Spiller (155 YDS, 14 touches) returned to action after a week off and delivered the kind of game thats been expected of him all season. Spiller still had fewer touches than Fred Jackson (99 YDS, 17 touches), who continued to be productive in his own right. Jackson, who was considered a backup entering the season, ranks seventh among running backs with 747 yards from scrimmage. 10. Texans WR Andre Johnson (9 REC, 229 YDS, 3 TD, 13 targets) certainly has Keenums attention and finally scored his first three touchdowns of the season against Indianapolis. Johnson ranks fourth among wide receivers with 813 receiving yards. 11. Titans RB Chris Johnson (170 YDS, 2 TD, 26 touches) does this. After four straight games with fewer than 40 rushing yards, he busted out for 150 yards on the ground, along with his first two touchdowns of the season. Its that upside that keeps drawing fantasy owners in, only to be disappointed. At least thats how the story has gone for the last two-and-a-half seasons. 12. Chargers WR Keenan Allen (8 REC, 128 YDS, 1 TD, 11 targets) had his third 100-yard game in the last four games. As the preferred wideout of Philip Rivers, Allen should be headed for a big second half of the season. 13. Patriots RB Stevan Ridley (124 YDS, 2 TD, 1 fumble, 29 touches) is rolling now, with six touchdowns and 340 rushing yards in the last four weeks. Start him and nevermind those shaky first four weeks of the season. 14. Buccaneers RB Michael James (166 YDS, 30 touches; 2-yd TD pass) had a huge game in his second start, a rare bit of promise from the Bucs season. Second-stringer Brian Leonard (68 YDS, 9 touches) was also productive in limited work at Seattle. 15. Patriots QB Tom Brady (23-for-33, 432 YDS, 4 TD) followed his worst game of the year with his best game of the year, which definitely didnt cause a problem for fantasy owners that were fed up with him and decided to bench him in favour of Andy Dalton. Nope, no problem at all. 16. Texans QB Case Keenum (20-for-34, 350 YDS, 3 TD) has lost both of his starts this season, but hes played well, passing for 621 yards and four touchdowns, without throwing an interception. Keenum hasnt been shy to go downfield and the Texans have the receivers, Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins to make that aggressive approach work. 17. Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (5 REC, 150 YDS, 1 TD, 6 targets) sits second among wide receivers with 823 receiving yards. His 91.4 receiving yards per game is a career-high; his previous best was 77.1 in 2009. 18. Packers RB Eddie Lacy (150 YDS, 1 TD, 22 carries) has been a beast, gaining at least 97 yards from scrimmage in five straight games. With Aaron Rodgers hurt, Lacy becomes extremely important to the Green Bay offence. 19. Washington RB Alfred Morris (121 YDS, 1 TD, 25 carries) is starting to churn out the yardage -- 390 rushing yards and three touchdowns over the last four weeks -- to the point that hes up to fifth in the league in rushing, with 686 yards. 20. Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (141 YDS, 25 touches) keeps churning out the yards, one week after a season-low 27 yards at St. Louis. Hes currently second in the league with 726 rushing yards. 21. Washington WR Pierre Garcon (7 REC, 172 YDS, 12 targets) has been hit-and-miss with his results, scoring only two touchdowns and having two 100-yard games, but hes had at least five catches in every game and remains the top passing option for QB Robert Griffin III. 22. Eagles WR Riley Cooper (5 REC, 139 YDS, 3 TD, 6 targets) has seen a real uptick in his production, with more than 80 yards receiving in three of the last four games. Coincidentally or not, Nick Foles has played significant time in the three games that Coopers production has gone to new heights. 23. Browns QB Jason Campbell (23-for-35, 262 YDS, 3 TD) played well in his second start of the season and has thrown 75 passes without getting picked off this season. With that quarterback play, Browns receivers have value. 24. Browns WR Greg Little (7 REC, 122 YDS, 9 targets) had his best game of the season against Baltimore and while WR Davone Bess (3 REC, 24 YDS, 2 TD, 4 targets) didnt have a lot of targets, two touchdowns is two touchdowns. WR Josh Gordon (3 REC, 44 YDS, 7 targets) and TE Jordan Cameron (1 REC, 4 YDS, 5 targets) were held in check, so credit Cambpell for getting other receivers into the game. 25. As much as Andy Dalton struggled Thursday, following three strong performances, Bengals WR A.J. Green (11 REC, 128 YDS, 19 targets) was thrown at so often that he couldnt help but be productive, even with a few drops. Green leads the league with 862 receiving yards. 26. With Saints WR Marques Colston out, Robert Meachem (4 REC, 93 YDS, 5 targets) had a big game for the Saints and Lance Moore (6 REC, 70 YDS, 10 targets) played a bigger role in his second week back in the lineup. Kenny Stills (3 REC, 35 YDS, 5 targets), looked like he was breaking through the week before with 129 yards and two touchdowns, but its worth noting that he has yet to record more than four catches in a game. 27. Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (104 YDS, 2 TD, 13 touches) had a tremendous game in the Thursday nighter, with a Play-of-the-Year run. BenJarvus Green-Ellis (72 YDS, 21 carries) was productive enough in his own right and still carried a significant workload. 28. Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (129 YDS, 1 fumble, 20 touches) is starting to find his way, with more than 100 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back games. His previous high was 75 yards in Week Two. 29. Following his least productive game of the season, Steelers RB LeVeon Bell (139 YDS, 20 touches) stormed back against New England. Standard performance these days against the Patriots run defence now that DT Vince Wilfork and OLB Jerod Mayo are out of the lineup. 30. Chargers RB Danny Woodhead (98 YDS, 16 touches) is tried and true. Hes a backup running back who has produced at least 75 yards from scrimmage in each of the last six games. Starter Ryan Mathews (34 YDS, 7 carries) wasnt much of a factor in Washington. 31. Falcons RB Steven Jackson (76 YDS, 16 touches) is getting more comfortable in the offence. The season is getting away from the Falcons, but if Jackson can stay healthy, he could still have strong second-half value. 32. Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (65 YDS, 12 touches) returned to the Panthers lineup, naturally cutting into the workload of DeAngelo Williams (54 YDS, 15 touches) and Mike Tolbert (37 YDS, 1 TD, 9 touches). The three-headed running back committee drastically reduces the value of any of them. 33. Raiders RB Rashad Jennings (176 YDS, 1 TD, 22 touches) rose to the occasion, at least in terms of individual production, once Darren McFadden (15 YDS, 6 touches) aggravated a hamstring injury. In the two games that Jennings has had at least 20 touches this season, hes gone over 100 yards from scrimmage. 34. Jets RB Chris Ivory (139 YDS, 1 TD, 18 carries) pulled back ahead of Bilal Powell (29 YDS, 9 carries) in the Jets running back see-saw, though the assigned workload wasnt tilted that dramatically. With two 100-yard rushing games in the last three weeks, Ivory has to be the preferred option, but it would hardly come as a surprise if Powell has some more productive games. 35. Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (80 YDS, 1 TD, 16 touches) has lost some lustre in the last three weeks, averaging 75.3 yards from scrimmage., which is okay, but hes averaging 121.9 per game for the season, and leads the league with 777 rushing yards, so theres definitely a decline. 36. Patriots wide receivers Aaron Dobson (5 REC, 130 YDS, 2 TD, 9 targets) and Danny Amendola (4 REC, 122 YDS, 1 TD, 4 targets) had big games against the Steelers. Their emergence limits the appeal on Kenbrell Thompkins and Julian Edelman, the other two wide receivers getting notable time in the Patriots passing game. 37. Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (6 REC, 75 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) emerged as the big receiving threat for the Seahawks following the injury to Sidney Rice. Golden Tate (3 REC, 29 YDS, 3 targets) was effectively shut down by Buccaneers CB Darrelle Revis. 38. With Texans RB Arian Foster suffering a back injury in the first quarter, Ben Tate (81 YDS, 22 carries) and Dennis Johnson (36 YDS, 8 carries) picked up the slack in the Houston backfield. Foster had been on a roll for three consecutive games before injuries have limited him to four carries over the last two games. 39. Ravens WR Marlon Brown (5 REC, 54 YDS, 2 TD, 9 targets) had a career-high five catches against Cleveland and now has five touchdowns on the season. Hes the only Ravens receiver with more than two touchdowns. 40. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (28-for-48, 400 YDS, 4 TD, 2 INT, 1 fumble) had big numbers in the loss at New England, his second 400-yard passing game this season, but it was also only the second game this season in which he passed for multiple touchdowns, so its difficult to consider him a fantasy starter. 41. Steelers WR Jerricho Cotchery (7 REC, 96 YDS, 3 TD, 8 targets) now has 424 yards on the season, after 442 yards, total, in his first two years with the Steelers. He also has five touchdowns, his most since 2008. 42. Ravens RB Ray Rice (38 YDS, 14 touches) still hasnt had a game with more than 80 yards from scrimmage all season and hes been held under 50 yards in four of seven games. Starter or not, its getting pretty easy to find better options. 43. Browns RB Willis McGahee (31 YDS, 1 fumble, 21 carries) has been a disaster since signing in Cleveland. His 2.6 yards per carry is more than half-a-yard per carry worse than the net lowest-ranked runner this season (minimum 100 carries). 44. Chiefs QB Alex Smith (19-for-29, 124 YDS) had an incredibly unproductive game at Buffalo, against a Bills defence that is mediocre overall against the pass, but has allowed a league-high 20 passing touchdowns. Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe (7 REC, 67 YDS, 12 targets), who has been invisible this season, had a season-high for catches and receiving yards. 45. Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (31 YDS, 4 carries) returned to the Cowboyss lineup against Minnesota, but was virtually ignored in the gameplan, as Dallas had a career-low nine carries Sunday. With Murray back that, theoretically, should give Dallas a more balanced attack as hes gained 642 yards from scrimmage in seven games (91.8 per game). 46. Titans RB Shonn Greene (66 YDS, 1 TD, 10 touches) was healthy and productive, in a backup role, against the Rams. Greene has some deep-league value as the short-yardage back. 47. Bears QB Josh McCown (22-for-41, 272 YDS, 2 TD) turned out to be more than adequate as a fill-in for an injured Jay Cutler, putting up good numbers and helping WR Brandon Marshall (7 REC, 107 YDS, 1 TD, 13 targets) to a big game against Green Bay Monday. It was Marshalls first 100-yard game since Week Two. 48. Bears DE Shea McClellin (5 tackles, 3 sacks), who had three sacks in 20 NFL games going into Monday night, got three against the Packers, a standout performance from the 19th overall pick in the 2012 Draft. 49. An undrafted rookie out of Delaware, Falcons OLB Paul Worrilow (19 tackles) was all over the field against Carolina. He had 16 total tackles in three previous games, so 19 is of course out of the norm, but 19 tackles warrants consideration. 50. Rams DT Kendall Langford (6 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFL); Saints MLB Curtis Lofton (12 tackles); Chargers FS Eric Weddle (15 tackles); Washington MLB London Fletcher (13 tackles); Eagles OLB Mychal Kendricks (10 tackles, 1 sack); Buccaneers SS Mark Barron (11 tackles, 1 INT, 1 PD), Seahawks FS Earl Thomas (12 tackles); Seahawks MLB Bobby Wagner (11 tackles, 1.5 sacks); Ravens ILB Daryl Smith (9 tackles, 1 sack, 1 PD); Steelers ILB Lawrence Timmons (11 tackles, 1 TFL), Patriots FS Devin McCourty (6 tackles, 1 INT); Patriots DE Chandler Jones (6 tackles, 2 sacks); Dolphins CB Brent Grimes (5 tackles, 94-YD INT TD); Dolphins DE Cameron Wake (5 tackles, 3 sacks); Dolphins CB Dmitri Patterson (8 tackles, 1 INT).

Cog-Polis For Liquid Modernity
Editors' Choice
2018 Skyscraper Competition
He Jianqiao
Socialist Zygmunt Bauman introduced the idea of liquid modernity; he described its characteristics as ?increasing feelings of uncertainty and the privatization of ambivalence?. It is a kind of chaotic continuation of modernity, where a person can shift from one social position to another in a fluid manner. Nomadism becomes a general trait of the 'liquid modern' man as he flows through his own life like a tourist, changing places, jobs, spouses, values and sometimes more?such as political or sexual orientation?excluding himself from traditional networks of support, while also freeing himself from the restrictions or requirements those networks impose. Take the modern China as an example, its status quo of society accords with the descriptions accurately, 50% urbanization rate is far below saturation point and thus, enormous vacancy exists for half billion people converting their identity from farmer to worker. Due to the regional revenue discrepancy and family-gathering tradition, the largest scale human transmigrant tide in history is happening annually during Chinese Spring Festival. Together with the property right redistribution and reform brought by IT companies such as Airbnb or Uber, the world is turning into a deeper degree at liquid modernity for a certainty. Meanwhile, architects in this era should cease being tools for capitals or utilizing architecture as a shelter or bastion for s...

It apparently should offer "improved multi-GPU frame pacing" in the AMD Catalyst software, to eliminate such issues as micro-stutter. For a while now users running two AMD graphics cards (or a graphics card and an APU) have been suffering from some performance issues.
Frame rates suggested smooth performance but users often experienced stuttering. It looks like CrossFireX was rendering 'runt' frames which counted towards the reported frame rates. But they never tipped up on the screen. CrossFireX should, in-theory, provide a significant boost to a user's gaming frame rates. It is an attractive selling point for AMD's APU's.
AMD promised a fix for these CrossFireX issues alongside the unveiling of the HD7990 earlier in the year but it never happened. Nvidia had similar stuttering problems with its SLI configurations before it bought out Kepler.
