Alphabetic writing systems are based on the principle of representing spoken sound segments, specifically those at the level of consonants and vowels, by written characters, ideally one for each sound segment.

The Roman alphabet and Anglo-Saxon The Roman alphabet, being designed for a language with a very different phonological system, was never perfectly adapted for writing English even when first used to represent Anglo-Saxon. Writing in Anglo-Saxon: Variation and incipient standardization Norms for writing words consistently with an alphabetic character set are collectively called orthography.

Quatro instituições públicas gastaram ilegalmente millhões em regalias. Estas quatro entidades auditadas pela IGF no ano passado gastaram um total de 1,329 milhões de euros em pagamentos de remunerações, benefícios e regalias "sem previsão legal ou em desconformidade com a previsão". Esta é uma das conclusões do relatório de atividades da IGF, que detetou um total de 45,7 milhões de euros em processos irregulares da administração pública no ano passado e propôs correções que podem levar a poupanças de 627 milhões de euros aos cofres do Estado. Estes montantes já eram conhecidos, mas agora a inspeção liderada por Vítor Braz vem detalhar alguns desses casos, com a divulgação do relatório na página oficial da entidade.

Outra situação detetada pela IGF em 2014 é o caso de 113 aposentados com acumulação de funções públicas remuneradas, "envolvendo o pagamento irregular de pensões ou rendimentos de atividade no valor global estimado de 900.000 euros". 8 Inspiring Quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird's Atticus Finch :: Books. “It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.” — Scout Finch Published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird chronicles lawyer Atticus Finch’s defense of a wrongfully-convicted Black man in Depression Era Alabama. Adored for his courage and integrity, Atticus has since become one of the most iconic literary heroes of the 20th century. In honor of today’s announcement that Harper Lee will publish a To Kill a Mockingbird sequel this summer, we rounded up eight inspiring quotes spoken by Atticus in the classic novel: 1. “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

The problem of Greece is not only a tragedy. It is a lie. The problem of Greece is not only a tragedy. It is a lie. 13 July 2015 An historic betrayal has consumed Greece. Having set aside the mandate of the Greek electorate, the Syriza government has willfully ignored last week's landslide "No" vote and secretly agreed a raft of repressive, impoverishing measures in return for a "bailout" that means sinister foreign control and a warning to the world. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has pushed through parliament a proposal to cut at least 13 billion euros from the public purse - 4 billion euros more than the "austerity" figure rejected overwhelmingly by the majority of the Greek population in a referendum on 5 July. "Anti-austerity party sweeps to stunning victory", declared a Guardian headline on January 25. For six months Tsipras and the recently discarded finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, shuttled between Athens and Brussels, Berlin and the other centres of European money power.

In "Content Marketing" Diversity in comic books began all the way back in the 1940s with one visionary artist. We’re currently living in a new golden age of comics, where the main characters are finally beginning to look like the people who’ve always read them. There’s an openly gay (and unabashedly sexual) Batman analogue teleporting his way around the DC Universe and a new Muslim Ms. Marvel patrolling the shady streets of New Jersey. This diverse golden age is the end result of a long-fought push for more representative characters, plotlines, and stories. Writing for Vocativ, Jennings Brown traced the origin of the modern age of diverse comics to the Black Panther’s introduction In Fantastic Four #52, released back in 1966.

That title belongs, collectively, to characters invented by black writer Orrin Evans for his All-Negro Comics, created almost two decades before the Black Panther, in 1947. Back in the 1940s, there were no black superheroes. Marvel Comics Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is one of Marvel's oldest characters. Orrin Evans wanted to change that. All-Negro Comics.
