How to Monetize Curated Content: Robin Good, Part 2. In Part 1 of his interview, Robin Good talked about how to create a revenue-earning micro-business. In Part 2, he tells us specifically how content curators can monetize their work using free online tools. Robin, how do you get started making money out of content curation? If we go back to the 4 steps to becoming a micro-entrepreneur, you need to listen at the beginning to learn what your tribe’s specific needs are. And then you monetize by creating or customizing products or services that fit those needs.

You need to use the tools in a serious way and become respected for your work on your topic. You can’t just aggregate a newspaper where you have no input, where everything is left to the software. The value comes when you go beyond re-scooping, re-publishing and re-sharing and focus on curating a specific topic. While there may be only a few good examples we can mention now, you can definitely plan to make revenue by learning to be a trusted curator on a specific interest area.

Dez filmes inspirados no teatro. Na semana de estreia do filme ‘Miss Julie’, adaptação de uma peça de Strindberg, propomos um olhar por dez filmes que tiveram também como ponto de partida um texto criado para o teatro. Texto: JOÃO LOPES A estreia de Miss Julie, o filme de Liv Ullmann que adapta a peça de August Strindberg, relançou a fascinante questão das relações cinema/teatro.

Em boa verdade, a categoria “filme-adaptado-de-peça-de-teatro” não é coisa linear — afinal de contas, Casablanca (1942) nasceu de um argumento inspirado numa peça que nunca tinha sido representada em palco… Mas é um facto que há filmes em que a coabitação com o teatro surge como elemento decisivo para a concepção do espaço, a organização narrativa e, no limite, a especificidade dramática da acção. Eis uma dezena de títulos, por ordem cronológica, que talvez nos ajudem a (re)lembrar que o cinema se pode intensificar e, numa certo sentido, reinventar através de palavras que foram escritas para outro domínio de expressão.

Fabulosas raças de humanóides: monstros e robôs. Acabou de sair na Kairos, Revista de Filosofia & Ciência, número 7, o meu artigo "Fabulosas raças de humanóides: monstros e robôs.

Left Foot Forward | Evidence-based political blogging. Five progressive things done by the governments of Margaret Thatcher. There are plenty of things Margaret Thatcher did which progressives are right to have opposed. Support for Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet abroad, the casual disregard her government showed to the unemployed at home, the emasculation of local government and the introduction of Section 28 to name but a few. She also brought in a few progressive measures, though. Here are five: The abolition of corporal punishment. Under Margaret Thatcher’s government corporal punishment was abolished in 1986.

Mrs Thatcher did not vote herself (she was entertaining Nancy Reagan at the time), and several pro-caning Tory MPs missed the commons vote – which was won by 231 votes to 230 – because they were stuck in traffic caused by preparations for the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, which took place the following day.Took action on HIV/AIDs.

George Mason University economist, and advocate of anarcho-capitalism, Bryan Caplan explains why details of the ideological history of human attitudes toward methods and techniques of government show that ideas that almost everyone dismisses offhand as nutty and impossible can and in fact have come to dominate our political culture.

I mean, you think anarcho-capitalism is crazy? Imagine how people used to react to democracy? Let Caplan explain: Imagine advocating democracy a thousand years ago. You sketch your basic idea: "Every few years we'll have a free election. Anyone who wants power can run for office, every adult gets a vote, and whoever gets the most votes runs the government until the next election. " Caplan then points out that in the modern world, a political leader who told his cronies their response to losing an election would be to start killin' would not be obeyed, but condemned as "crazy.

" The lesson: "Crazy" is relative to expectations. The pros and cons of newspaper paywalls: a Twitter debate. Debates over newspaper paywalls break out all the time, but not all of them involve a former Dow Jones chief executive, a former Wall Street Journal publisher, the current head of the Wall Street Journal‘s digital arm, the president of BuzzFeed and media writers for Bloomberg and All Things Digital. Just such a debate broke out on Sunday, however, and you can check out an edited version of it below (or there’s also a Storify version.) I started things off with a critical tweet about a Bloomberg story by Edmund Lee on how the New York Times paywall was working “better than anyone had guessed,” which I contrasted with a post of mine about the decline in traffic to the NYT site (as measured by comScore) and what appeared to be a corresponding decline in advertising revenue — including digital revenue.

Edmund responded that his story said circulation revenue has made up for the shortfall in ad revenue. . ... . . @mathewi @bgrueskin @rajunarisetti @davisshaver @edmundlee @joshsternberg True.

Hanna Pickard – Why do people become addicts? Sarah started using heroin when she was 16, and soon after that she left home to live with her dealer. Heroin was one of the ways he had power over her. He was older than her, and often unfaithful. Over the three years that they were together, they frequently fought, sometimes violently. She would end up staying with friends or on the streets. Sarah received treatment for her addiction in prison, and had frequent contact with mental health professionals, but she has never successfully gone without heroin for more than a few days, despite repeated efforts.

This is a fictional case study, based on the real addicts I come across in my work. I am a philosopher and I am also a therapist within the National Health System in the UK, and I often see patients like Sarah. But actually working with people who suffer from these conditions has started to teach me how to see beyond the stereotypes. Addiction is a burden to us all, not just to addicts. Who is this minority? 3 April 2013 Comments. How Memes Are Orchestrated by the Man - Kevin Ashton. Corporations had more to to with the popularity of the Harlem Shake than you or I did. Google's trend charts of the phrase "Harlem Shake" are seismic. No one looked for the words until Feb. 7, then searches surged faster than any term Google ever had, except for "Whitney Houston" after her death.

A few weeks later, they fell close to zero. Experts said the "Harlem Shake" phenomenon was emergent behavior from the hive mind of the internet--accidental, ad hoc, uncoordinated: a "meme" that "went viral. " The word "meme" comes from evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.

Eric Ogden Dr. Angelo Volandes is making a film that he believes will change the way you die. The studio is his living room in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston; the control panel is his laptop; the camera crew is a 24-year-old guy named Jake; the star is his wife, Aretha Delight Davis.

Volandes, a thickening mesomorph with straight brown hair that is graying at his temples, is wearing a T-shirt and shorts and looks like he belongs at a football game. “Remember: always slow,” Volandes says. “Sure, hon,” Davis says, annoyed. Volandes claps to sync the sound. You are seeing this video because you are making medical decisions for a person with advanced dementia. Her narration will be woven into a 10-minute film.

Young in affect and appearance, Volandes, 41, is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School; Davis, also an M.D., is doing her residency in internal medicine, also at Harvard. Volandes nods. New Statesman - Britain's Current Affairs & Politics Magazine. Hungary is no longer a democracy. It is now a fact: Hungary is no longer a democracy.

President János Áder has just signed the implementation decrees for new constitutional reforms that wipe out what was left of opposition forces against the government. More particularly, the Constitutional Court is no longer allowed to give its opinion about the content of laws and to refer to its own case-law – which results in the loss of almost all monitoring power on the legislature and the executive. This meticulous destruction of democracy and its values – whose starting point was the landslide election of Fidesz in 2010 – has taken place over months and months, under everybody's eyes. This political degradation gives us a gruesome historical and political lesson. Obsessed by economic and financial issues, too indifferent to its fundamental values ​​of freedom, equality, peace and justice, the EU has abandoned the fight to promote or even maintain democracy as the political system of its member states.
