What does the future hold for broadcasting in Britain? What
revenues will be available for funding programming in the 1990s and
beyond? British broadcasting stands on the threshold of immense
change. The BBC is reviewing its purpose and funding in an era of
deregulation, mixed funding and multiple services. The independent
television companies have staked their futures on advertising
revenues which may not materialise, meanwhile, broadcasters face
increasing competition for viewers and revenue from satellite
television channels. There is much agreement about what the
audience wants in the 1990s: quality programmes, diversity, home
grown entertainment, comprehensive cultural coverage and reliable
information at the flick of a switch. There is less agreement about
how these needs are to be met and what balance is required between
commercial and public broadcasting to ensure that they are
satisfied. "Paying for Broadcasting: The Handbook" takes these
debates on board through a wide-ranging discussion of funding
options open to broadcasters.
Data mining is the art and science of intelligent data analysis. By
building knowledge from information, data mining adds considerable
value to the ever increasing stores of electronic data that abound
today. In performing data mining many decisions need to be made
regarding the choice of methodology, the choice of data, the choice
of tools, and the choice of algorithms. Throughout this book the
reader is introduced to the basic concepts and some of the more
popular algorithms of data mining. With a focus on the hands-on
end-to-end process for data mining, Williams guides the reader
through various capabilities of the easy to use, free, and open
source Rattle Data Mining Software built on the sophisticated R
Statistical Software. The focus on doing data mining rather than
just reading about data mining is refreshing. The book covers data
understanding, data preparation, data refinement, model building,
model evaluation, and practical deployment. The reader will learn
to rapidly deliver a data mining project using software easily
installed for free from the Internet. Coupling Rattle with R
delivers a very sophisticated data mining environment with all the
power, and more, of the many commercial offerings.
Compunction was one of the most important emotions for medieval
Christianity; in fact, through its confessional function,
compunction became the primary means for an affective sinner to
gain redemption. Cultures of Compunction in the Medieval World
explores how such emotion could be expressed, experienced and
performed in medieval European society. Using a range of
disciplinary approaches - including history, philosophy, art
history, literary studies, performance studies and linguistics -
this book examines how and why emotions which now form the bedrock
of modern western culture were idealized in the Middle Ages. By
bringing together expertise across disciplines and medieval
languages, this important book demonstrates the ubiquity and impact
of compunction for medieval life and makes wider connections
between devotional, secular and quotidian areas of experience.
This book traces the development of the ideal of sincerity from its
origins in Anglo-Saxon monasteries to its eventual currency in
fifteenth-century familiar letters. Beginning by positioning
sincerity as an ideology at the intersection of historical
pragmatics and the history of emotions, the author demonstrates how
changes in the relationship between outward expression and inward
emotions changed English language and literature. While the early
chapters reveal that the notion of sincerity was a Christian
intervention previously absent from Germanic culture, the latter
part of the book provides more focused studies of contrition and
love. In doing so, the author argues that under the rubric of
courtesy these idealized emotions influenced English in terms of
its everyday pragmatics and literary style. This fascinating volume
will be of broad interest to scholars of medieval language,
literature and culture.
