TL;DR: Gross as mentioned in this paper argues that the modern plunderers are not anomalies but are the legitimate descendants of the financiers who organized Lowell and the Boott and turns a study of a defunct textile corporation into a condemnation of economic practices and theories that are widely accepted today and are inherent in the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Abstract: parative advantage. The work would also be stronger if the author could provide more detail as to how profitable the Boott was and where the profits were re-invested; Gross makes it clear that profits were not plowed back into the mill. It is probable that the figures are simply not available but, if they could be presented, they would make a strong case even more convincing. In his postscript Gross draws parallels between modern entrepreneurs, who are often criticized for \"being devoted to the production of profits, not of goods\" (p. 242), and the owners of the Boott. He argues that the modern \"plunderers\" are not anomalies but are the legitimate descendants of the financiers who organized Lowell and the Boott. In short, Gross turns a study of a defunct textile corporation into a condemnation of economic practices and theories that are widely accepted today and are inherent in the North American Free Trade Agreement. How his thesis will be received and incorporated into the interpretation of Lowell is an interesting question.

TL;DR: This report presents key findings from a major national, inhome, face to face survey of 1,511 9-19 year olds and 906 parents of the 9-17 year olds, using Random Location sampling across the UK (see Annex).
Abstract: The research project: UK Children Go Online (UKCGO) aims to offer a rigorous and timely investigation of 9-19 year olds’ use of the internet. The project balances an assessment of online risks and opportunities in order to contribute to developing academic debates and policy frameworks for children and young people’s internet use. The research was funded by an Economic and Social Research Council grant under the ‘e-Society’ Programme, with co-funding from AOL, BSC, Childnet-International, Citizens Online and ITC. This report presents key findings from a major national, inhome, face to face survey, lasting some 40 minutes, of 1,511 9-19 year olds and 906 parents of the 9-17 year olds, using Random Location sampling across the UK (see Annex). It complements the project’s recent qualitative report on young people’s experiences of the internet. The fieldwork, conducted via multi-media computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) with children and a paper questionnaire to their parents, took place between 12 January and 7 March 2004. In this report of findings from the UKCGO survey, all percentages have been weighted in accordance with population statistics.

TL;DR: The theory that space is limited is nothing new to the average housewife as mentioned in this paper, and this is the case not just for sputniks and moonshots but also for hi-fi.
Abstract: This is the space age. Not just for sputniks and moonshots but also for hi-fi. We have ‘space’ conveyed through stereo sound – if we can find space for that extra stereo speaker. The theory that space is limited is nothing new to the average housewife. (HiFi Review, April 1959, p. 49)

TL;DR: Theory, culture and society as discussed by the authors define l'entre-temps des virtualites, des evenements, des singularites, and des virtualities entent dans le processus de leur actualisation.
Abstract: Parution du dernier essai publie par Deleuze de son vivant, dans le cadre d'un recueil d'articles consacre a l'evenement de sa pensee (in «Theory, culture and society», 14, 2, 1997, pp. 1-81). Soulevant la question du champ transcendantal et de sa relation avec la conscience, l'A. montre que le premier, sans rapport avec la seconde, caracterise le plan de la pure immanence ou de l'immanence absolue qui est vie, definie comme l'entre-temps des virtualites, des evenements et des singularites qui entrent dans le processus de leur actualisation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that, while many avenues are being actively pursued, many researchers are concentrating on the notion of participation, asking, on the one hand, what modes of participation are afforded to people by the particular media and communication infrastructures which mediate social, cultural or political spheres of life? And on the other hand, how do people engage with, accede to, negotiate or contest this as they explore and invent new ways of connecting with each other through and around media?
Abstract: As today's media simultaneously converge and diverge, fusing and hybridizing across digital services and platforms, some researchers argue that audiences are dead—long live the user! But for others, it is the complex interweaving of continuities and changes that demands attention, especially now that audiencing has become a vital mode of engaging with all dimensions of daily life. This article asks how we should research audiences in a digital networked age. I argue that, while many avenues are being actively pursued, many researchers are concentrating on the notion of participation, asking, on the one hand, what modes of participation are afforded to people by the particular media and communication infrastructures which mediate social, cultural or political spheres of life? And, on the other hand, how do people engage with, accede to, negotiate or contest this as they explore and invent new ways of connecting with each other through and around media? The features of this emerging participation paradigm o...
