Adam Ant
–
Adam Ant is an English singer and musician. He gained popularity as the singer of new wave group Adam. He has also worked as an actor, appearing in two dozen films and television episodes from 1985 to 2003. Stuart Goddard was born a child in Marylebone, London to Leslie Goddard. Home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St Johns Wood and he recalls, There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table. His father had served in the Royal Air Force and worked as a chauffeur and he is of partial Romani descent, his maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was Romanichal. This heritage would become a basis for a theme in his later work and his parents divorced when Goddard was seven years old and his mother supported him by working as a domestic cleaner, briefly working for Paul McCartney. Goddards first school was Robinsfield Infants School, where he created a stir by throwing a brick through the head-teachers office window on two consecutive days. After taking and passing six O levels and three A levels in English, History and Art, Goddard then attended Hornsey College of Art to study graphic design and he later dropped out of Hornsey, short of completing his BA, to focus on a career in music. The first band Goddard joined was Bazooka Joe, in which he played bass guitar, since starting his course at Hornsey, Goddard had married fellow student Carol Mills, with whom he lived at her parents residence in Muswell Hill. I just didnt eat, he has said of this period, I wasnt attempting to slim, eventually, Goddard took an overdose of all the pills he could find in his mother-in-laws kitchen cabinet. After having his stomach pumped, he was sent to Colney Hatch mental hospital in North London, I was totally fucked up in the head. Things went wrong and something snapped, I just became a vegetable for three months. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college, upon his discharge from the hospital, Goddard renamed himself Adam Ant with Mills renaming herself Eve. Adam and the Ants started as part of the punk rock movement. Ant later acted in Derek Jarmans seminal punk film Jubilee in 1977, as Adam and his debut as a recording artist was the song Deutscher Girls, which featured on the films soundtrack, along with Plastic Surgery which was performed in the film itself. Deutscher Girls/Plastic Surgery was re-released as a single in 1982, the band toured extensively around the UK, but proved to be unpopular with much of the British music press who disliked their fetishistic lyrics and imagery. Late 1979 saw the release of their début album Dirk Wears White Sox, with Matthew Ashman on guitar, Leigh Gorman on bass, Adam Ant approached Malcolm McLaren and asked him to manage the band

The Peterborough Advertiser Co. the West Norfolk and Kings Lynn Newspaper Co. and commercial printing sections at Rushden, Kings Lynn, the magazine division was founded on a hunch when the companys printing presses lay dormant between printing issues of the local papers. The staff gambled that a weekly angling publication would be a hit - and this was soon joined by another weekly heavyweight when EMAP bought Motor Cycle News from its founder in 1956 for a hundred pounds.

International Standard Serial Number
–
An International Standard Serial Number is an eight-digit serial number used to uniquely identify a serial publication. The ISSN is especially helpful in distinguishing between serials with the same title, ISSN are used in ordering, cataloging, interlibrary loans, and other practices in connection with serial literature. The ISSN system was first drafted as an International Organization for Standardization international standard in 1971, ISO subcommittee TC 46/SC9 is responsible for maintaining the standard. When a serial with the content is published in more than one media type. For example, many serials are published both in print and electronic media, the ISSN system refers to these types as print ISSN and electronic ISSN, respectively. The format of the ISSN is an eight digit code, divided by a hyphen into two four-digit numbers, as an integer number, it can be represented by the first seven digits. The last code digit, which may be 0-9 or an X, is a check digit. Formally, the form of the ISSN code can be expressed as follows, NNNN-NNNC where N is in the set, a digit character. The ISSN of the journal Hearing Research, for example, is 0378-5955, where the final 5 is the check digit, for calculations, an upper case X in the check digit position indicates a check digit of 10. To confirm the check digit, calculate the sum of all eight digits of the ISSN multiplied by its position in the number, the modulus 11 of the sum must be 0. There is an online ISSN checker that can validate an ISSN, ISSN codes are assigned by a network of ISSN National Centres, usually located at national libraries and coordinated by the ISSN International Centre based in Paris. The International Centre is an organization created in 1974 through an agreement between UNESCO and the French government. The International Centre maintains a database of all ISSNs assigned worldwide, at the end of 2016, the ISSN Register contained records for 1,943,572 items. ISSN and ISBN codes are similar in concept, where ISBNs are assigned to individual books, an ISBN might be assigned for particular issues of a serial, in addition to the ISSN code for the serial as a whole. An ISSN, unlike the ISBN code, is an identifier associated with a serial title. For this reason a new ISSN is assigned to a serial each time it undergoes a major title change, separate ISSNs are needed for serials in different media. Thus, the print and electronic versions of a serial need separate ISSNs. Also, a CD-ROM version and a web version of a serial require different ISSNs since two different media are involved, however, the same ISSN can be used for different file formats of the same online serial

New Romantic
–
New Romanticism was a pop culture movement in the United Kingdom that began as a nightclub scene around 1979 and peaked around 1981. Ultravox were also identified as New Romantics by the press although they did not exhibit the same visual styles of the movement. Japan and Adam and the Ants were also labeled as New Romantic artists by the press, there were attempts to revive the movement from the 1990s, including the short-lived romo movement. New Romanticism can be seen as a reaction to punk, and was influenced by former glam rock stars of the 1970s such as David Bowie. In terms of style it rejected the austerity and anti-fashion stance of punk, both sexes often dressed in counter-sexual or androgynous clothing and wore cosmetics such as eyeliner and lipstick, partly derived from earlier punk fashions. This gender bending was particularly evident in such as Boy George of Culture Club. Common hairstyles included quiffs, mullets and wedges, soon after they began to gain mainstream attention, however, many New Romantic bands dropped the eclectic clothes and make-up in favour of sharp suits. However, the post-punk Adam Ant himself has denied being a New Romantic. In an October 1981 interview, vocalist David Sylvian commented Theres a period going past at the moment that may make us look as though were in fashion, in another interview, he stated I dont like to be associated with them. The attitudes are so very different, of Japans fashion sense, Sylvian said For them, fancy dress is a costume. But ours is a way of life and we look and dress this way every day. Similarly, the electronic duo Soft Cell also denied any connection to the New Romantic scene and it was just a trendy London club thing with Steve Strange. While some contemporary bands, particularly those of the 2 Tone ska revival, dealt with issues of unemployment and urban decay, New Romantics adopted an escapist, as the scene moved beyond a single club the media settled on the name New Romantics. The New Romantic movement developed almost simultaneously in London and Birmingham, in London it grew out of David Bowie and Roxy Music nights, run during 1978 in the nightclub Billys in Dean Street, London. Its patrons dressed as uniquely as they could in an attempt to draw the most attention, Steve Strange worked as the clubs doorman and Egan was the DJ at the Blitz. The club became known for its exclusive door policy and strict dress code, Strange would frequently deny potential patrons admission because he felt that they were not costumed creatively or subversively enough to blend in with those inside the club. In a highly publicised incident, Mick Jagger tried to enter the club while under the influence of alcohol, the club spawned several spin-offs and there were soon clubs elsewhere in the capital and in other major British cities, including Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham. While still at Billys, Strange and Egan joined Billy Currie, before forming Culture Club, Boy George and Marilyn worked as cloakroom attendants at the Blitz

Neville Brody

Neville Brody is an English graphic designer, typographer and art director. He created the company Research Studios in 1994 and is a member of Fontworks. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and he is the Head of the Communication Art & Design department at the Royal College of Art, London. Born in Southgate, London Neville Brody was a lover of fine art and he had an obsession with art in the 1960s and 1970s. He commented that he not remember a time in his life when he was planning to do anything other than art or painting. He attended Minchenden Grammar school and studied A-Level Art, very much from a fine art viewpoint, in 1975 Brody went on to do a Fine Art foundation course at Hornsey College of Art, once renowned for its late sixties agitation, now part of Middlesex University. In autumn 1976, Brody started a three-year B. A. course in graphics at the London College of Printing and his tutors often condemned his work as Uncommercial, often putting a heavy emphasis on safe and tested economic strategies, as opposed to experimentation. By 1977, punk rock was beginning to have an effect upon London life and, while this had a great impact upon Brodys work. At one point he was almost thrown out of the college for putting the Queens head sideways on a stamp design. He did, however, get the chance to design posters for student concerts at the college, most notably for Pere Ubu, in spite of the postage stamp episode, Brody was not only motivated by the energies of punk. His first-year thesis had been based around a comparison between Dadaism and pop art and his CD covers leads toward a grudgy and a punk scene. The album Micro-Phonies by Cabaret Voltaire was art directed by graphic design heavyweight Neville Brody in 1984, Brodys infamous typography features on the front and a bandaged figure spouting liquid from the mouth stares blankly at the viewer. Brody made his name largely popular through his revolutionary when he worked as an art director for The Face Magazine and he changed up the basic and structural rules that existed in the British culture into a more artsy and vibrant aesthetic. His designs provoked some form of emotion to the extent that people would stick to one instead of turning pages like they would normally do when reading a novel. In 1988 Thames & Hudson published the first of two volumes about his work, which became the worlds best selling graphic design book, an accompanying exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum attracted over 40,000 visitors before touring Europe and Japan. In 1991, Neville Brody and Jon Wozencroft created the FUSE project, FUSE is an interactive magazine that sets out to challenge our current ideas about typographic and visual language in an age of ever changing communications technology and media. Brody was also responsible for instigating the fusion between a magazine, graphics design and typeface design. The magazine ranges in themes from Codes and Runes to Religion, the exploration and freedom that the publishers exhibit is undeniable and exciting

Libel
–
Under common law, to constitute defamation, a claim must generally be false and must have been made to someone other than the person defamed. Some common law jurisdictions also distinguish between spoken defamation, called slander, and defamation in other such as printed words or images. False light laws protect against statements which are not technically false, in some civil law jurisdictions, defamation is treated as a crime rather than a civil wrong. A person who defames another may be called a defamer, libeler, slanderer, or, rarely, the common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander, each of which gives a common law right of action. Defamation is the term used internationally, and is used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between slander and libel. Libel and slander both require publication, the fundamental distinction between libel and slander lies solely in the form in which the defamatory matter is published. If the offending material is published in some fleeting form, as by words or sounds, sign language, gestures or the like. Libel is defined as defamation by written or printed words, pictures, the law of libel originated in the 17th century in England. With the growth of publication came the growth of libel and development of the tort of libel, an early example of libel is the case of John Peter Zenger in 1735. Zenger was hired to publish New York Weekly Journal, when he printed another mans article that criticized William Cosby, who was then British Royal Governor of Colonial New York, Zenger was accused of Seditious Libel. Another example of libel is the case of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, there are several ways a person must go about proving that libel has taken place. For example, in the United States, the person must prove that the statement was false, caused harm and these steps are for an ordinary citizen. Many nations have criminal penalties for defamation in some situations, there can be regional statutes that may differ from the national norm. For example, in the United States, defamation is generally limited to the living, however, there are nine states that have criminal statutes regarding defamation of the dead. Early cases of criminal defamation Questions of group libel have been appearing in law for hundreds of years. One of the earliest known cases of a defendant being tried for defamation of a group was the case of Rex v. Orme and Nutt. In this case, the found that the defendant was guilty of libeling several subjects. Since the jury was unable to identify the people who were being defamed

Henry Bond was born in Upton Park, in East London in 1966, Bond attended Middlesex University in Hendon studying for an MA in Psychoanalysis, where he was taught by Lacan scholar Bernard Burgoyne. Bond was a student at the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham Spa between 2004–2007, he received a doctorate in 2007. Bond teaches postgraduate photography, in the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture, at Kingston University, he is a Senior Lecturer in Photography, Lacan at the Scene is a work of non-fiction by Henry Bond, published in 2009 by the MIT Press. The book consists of interpretations of photographs from twenty-one crime scenes from 1950s and 1960s England. Bonds approach is closely linked to Walter Benjamins assertion that, photography, with its devices of slow motion and enlargement and it is through photography that we first discover the existence of the optical unconscious, just as we discover the instinctual unconscious through psychoanalysis. Bonds book considers the effects of photography on the spectator, the photographer and he refers to a wide range of contextual material including J. G. The book contains a foreword essay The Cameras Posthuman Eye by the Slovenian philosopher, many of the photographs reproduced in the book are sexually explicit—they depict murder victims who were raped or tortured before the killing. The photographs that I have worked with are made in a place that the press photographer or reporter cannot go. Writing in the academic journal Philosophy of Photography, Margaret Kinsman said Bonds exploration. Reminds us of just how used to order we are and how shocking and his approach evokes a kind of aesthetic pleasure, which unsettles even as it satisfies. Reviewing the book for Time Out New York Parul Sehgal said, While Bond’s interpretations occasionally strain credulity and his goal isn’t police work per se, but to reveal how humble objects at the margins of crime scenes become powerfully allusive and lend themselves to a narrative. The early chapters help to bring together the theoretical, discursive, ballard, Raymond Chandler, Walter Benjamin, Jacques Lacan, Georg Hegel and Slavoj Žižek. Bond has also considered his work in relation to the dérive – literally, drifting – theorised by Guy Debord, characterizing his conception of street photography, in a 1998 interview, Bond said, is parallel to the psychoanalytic session, in that anything can be mentioned. Bond began his photography in the late-1990s and continued for approximately ten years concluding with his Interiors in 2005

Details (magazine)

Details was an American monthly mens magazine published by Condé Nast, founded in 1982 by Annie Flanders. Though primarily a magazine devoted to fashion and lifestyle, Details also features reports on relevant social and political issues, in November 2015 Condé Nast announced that the magazine would cease publication with the issue of December 2015/January 2016. Alan Patricof bought the magazine in 1988, Condé Nast bought the magazine a year later for $2 million. Its current format stems from an October 2000, relaunch of the title, between its last issue at Condé Nast and first at Fairchild, publication of Details was temporarily suspended. This allowed for extensive redesign and strategic repositioning of the magazine, frequent contributors included Augusten Burroughs, Michael Chabon, and Bill Cunningham. Its editor was Dan Peres, the husband of Australian actress Sarah Wynter. He was appointed to the post in 2000, previous contributors have included Beauregard Houston-Montgomery. In 2004, Details published a piece titled Gay or Asian. that featured a photo of an East Asian man, some of the text that accompanied the photo, One cruises for chicken, the other takes it General Tso-style. Whether youre into shrimp balls or shaved balls, entering the dragon requires imperial tastes, the article generated protests over its racism and homophobia—and over how it erased the existence of gay Asian men. To protest, LGBT Asian American individuals and groups came together, from 1991 to 1999 the magazine produced sampler CDs which were sent out to current subscribers free of charge. While the CDs concentrated on then current music older songs were included as well, the initial CD was produced by Andrea Norlander of MTV, who oversaw concept, musical content, design, and marketing of the project

Postmodernism
–
Postmodernism describes a broad movement that developed in the mid to late 20th century across philosophy, the arts, architecture and criticism which marked a departure from modernism. Accordingly, postmodern thought is characterized by tendencies to epistemological and moral relativism, pluralism, irreverence. The term postmodernism has been applied both to the era following modernity, and to a host of movements within that era that reacted against tendencies in modernism. Postmodernism includes skeptical critical interpretations of culture, literature, art, philosophy, history, linguistics, economics, architecture, fiction, feminist theory, and literary criticism. Postmodernism is often associated with schools of such as deconstruction and post-structuralism, as well as philosophers such as Jean-François Lyotard. The term postmodern was first used around the 1880s, John Watkins Chapman suggested a Postmodern style of painting as a way to depart from French Impressionism. In 1921 and 1925, postmodernism had been used to new forms of art. In 1942 H. R. Hays described it as a new literary form, however, as a general theory for a historical movement it was first used in 1939 by Arnold J. Toynbee, Our own Post-Modern Age has been inaugurated by the general war of 1914–1918. Peter Drucker suggested the transformation into a post modern world happened between 1937 and 1957, post-structuralism resulted similarly to postmodernism by following a time of structuralism. It is characterized by new ways of thinking through structuralism, contrary to the original form, postmodernist describes part of a movement, Postmodern places it in the period of time since the 1950s, making it a part of contemporary history. Martin Heidegger rejected the philosophical basis of the concepts of subjectivity and objectivity, instead of resisting the admission of this paradox in the search for understanding, Heidegger requires that we embrace it through an active process of elucidation he called the hermeneutic circle. He stressed the historicity and cultural construction of concepts while simultaneously advocating the necessity of an atemporal, in this latter premise, Heidegger shares an affinity with the late Romantic philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, another principal forerunner of post-structuralist and postmodernist thought. Instead, Foucault focused on the ways in which such constructs can foster cultural hegemony, violence and his writings have had a major influence on the larger body of postmodern academic literature. These metanarratives still remain in Western society but are now being undermined by rapid Informatization, Richard Rorty argues in Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature that contemporary analytic philosophy mistakenly imitates scientific methods. For Baudrillard, “simulation is no longer that of a territory and it is the generation by models of a real without origin or a reality, a hyperreal. In Analysis of the Journey, a journal birthed from postmodernism, Douglas Kellner insists that the assumptions and his terms defined in the depth of postmodernism are based on advancement, innovation, and adaptation. Extensively, Kellner analyzes the terms of theory in real-life experiences and examples. Kellner used science and technology studies as a part of his analysis

International Standard Book Number
–
The International Standard Book Number is a unique numeric commercial book identifier. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, the method of assigning an ISBN is nation-based and varies from country to country, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country. The initial ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering created in 1966, the 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108. Occasionally, a book may appear without a printed ISBN if it is printed privately or the author does not follow the usual ISBN procedure, however, this can be rectified later. Another identifier, the International Standard Serial Number, identifies periodical publications such as magazines, the ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 in the United Kingdom by David Whitaker and in 1968 in the US by Emery Koltay. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108, the United Kingdom continued to use the 9-digit SBN code until 1974. The ISO on-line facility only refers back to 1978, an SBN may be converted to an ISBN by prefixing the digit 0. For example, the edition of Mr. J. G. Reeder Returns, published by Hodder in 1965, has SBN340013818 -340 indicating the publisher,01381 their serial number. This can be converted to ISBN 0-340-01381-8, the check digit does not need to be re-calculated, since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained 13 digits, a format that is compatible with Bookland European Article Number EAN-13s. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an ebook, a paperback, and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, a 13-digit ISBN can be separated into its parts, and when this is done it is customary to separate the parts with hyphens or spaces. Separating the parts of a 10-digit ISBN is also done with either hyphens or spaces, figuring out how to correctly separate a given ISBN number is complicated, because most of the parts do not use a fixed number of digits. ISBN issuance is country-specific, in that ISBNs are issued by the ISBN registration agency that is responsible for country or territory regardless of the publication language. Some ISBN registration agencies are based in national libraries or within ministries of culture, in other cases, the ISBN registration service is provided by organisations such as bibliographic data providers that are not government funded. In Canada, ISBNs are issued at no cost with the purpose of encouraging Canadian culture. In the United Kingdom, United States, and some countries, where the service is provided by non-government-funded organisations. Australia, ISBNs are issued by the library services agency Thorpe-Bowker

The Internet Archive launched the Wayback Machine in October 2001. It was set up by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat, and is maintained with content from Alexa Internet, the service enables users to see archived versions of web pages across time, which the archive calls a three dimensional index. Since 1996, the Wayback Machine has been archiving cached pages of websites onto its large cluster of Linux nodes and it revisits sites every few weeks or months and archives a new version. Sites can also be captured on the fly by visitors who enter the sites URL into a search box, the intent is to capture and archive content that otherwise would be lost whenever a site is changed or closed down. The overall vision of the machines creators is to archive the entire Internet, the name Wayback Machine was chosen as a reference to the WABAC machine, a time-traveling device used by the characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, an animated cartoon. These crawlers also respect the robots exclusion standard for websites whose owners opt for them not to appear in search results or be cached, to overcome inconsistencies in partially cached websites, Archive-It. Information had been kept on digital tape for five years, with Kahle occasionally allowing researchers, when the archive reached its fifth anniversary, it was unveiled and opened to the public in a ceremony at the University of California, Berkeley. Snapshots usually become more than six months after they are archived or, in some cases, even later. The frequency of snapshots is variable, so not all tracked website updates are recorded, Sometimes there are intervals of several weeks or years between snapshots. After August 2008 sites had to be listed on the Open Directory in order to be included. As of 2009, the Wayback Machine contained approximately three petabytes of data and was growing at a rate of 100 terabytes each month, the growth rate reported in 2003 was 12 terabytes/month, the data is stored on PetaBox rack systems manufactured by Capricorn Technologies. In 2009, the Internet Archive migrated its customized storage architecture to Sun Open Storage, in 2011 a new, improved version of the Wayback Machine, with an updated interface and fresher index of archived content, was made available for public testing. The index driving the classic Wayback Machine only has a bit of material past 2008. In January 2013, the company announced a ground-breaking milestone of 240 billion URLs, in October 2013, the company announced the Save a Page feature which allows any Internet user to archive the contents of a URL. This became a threat of abuse by the service for hosting malicious binaries, as of December 2014, the Wayback Machine contained almost nine petabytes of data and was growing at a rate of about 20 terabytes each week. Between October 2013 and March 2015 the websites global Alexa rank changed from 162 to 208, in a 2009 case, Netbula, LLC v. Chordiant Software Inc. defendant Chordiant filed a motion to compel Netbula to disable the robots. Netbula objected to the motion on the ground that defendants were asking to alter Netbulas website, in an October 2004 case, Telewizja Polska USA, Inc. v. Echostar Satellite, No.02 C3293,65 Fed. 673, a litigant attempted to use the Wayback Machine archives as a source of admissible evidence, Telewizja Polska is the provider of TVP Polonia and EchoStar operates the Dish Network
