How to Volunteer Abroad for Free Originally published on January 6th, 2011 by Laura Walker. Volunteering abroad is an opportunity to share your skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm, while immersing yourself in a unique culture, discovering new places and contributing to a good cause. However, the price tags on some programs can scare off volunteers before they even open their destination's guidebook. Free projects, because they're usually run by smaller organizations, tend to be less organized, so you'll need to take initiative to get as much out of the experience as possible. Yes, there are plenty of programs that charge to participate in their volunteer programs (and most of them have good reasons for doing so!). But you found us, so we're going to help you out on your search for free volunteer opportunities abroad. The Real Cost of Volunteering Abroad for Free Understandably, the idea of spending thousands of dollars and hard-earned free time to contribute to a good cause does not appeal to many people. Free is relative
Le SoLoMo, nouveau buzzword ou véritable tendance ? Le SoLoMo, ce serait la nouvelle tendance de l’internet post-web 2.0, une vague de fond qui va une fois de plus tout changer. Après qu’à peu près tout le monde se soit mis au web social, est-ce l’étape suivante, ou un énième concept qui n’existe que dans la tête des prophètes du marketing numérique ? Loïc Le Meur a annoncé que le SoLoMo serait le grand thème de la conférence LeWeb 11. Mais pour ceux qui ne sont pas encore au courant, il est grand temps d’expliquer le sens de cet acronyme étrange : Social, Local, Mobile. Social, Local, Mobile, trois tendances pas vraiment égales Doit-on vraiment encore expliquer l’importance du web social ? Et le local dans tout ça ? Le “local” à la traîne ? Le “local” connaît bien des déconvenues : d’abord il y a Google qui abandonne ses application de “deals” et de “Lieux”. Foursquare, même, a bien du mal à passer à la vitesse supérieure et à intéresser le grand public (l’utilisateur de Foursquare moyen en France est là depuis plus d’un an déjà !)
2008 February 18 « Ground Glass The blogosphere is full of ‘best of’ lists and rankings. The blog is a perfect venue for this type of information. So I thought it would be nice to create a women in the history of photography list. I rarely read an interview where a photographer, male or female, cites a woman as an influence. The exceptions is perhaps Diane Arbus. And I have always found the sources on this subject rather limited. I often wish I had more female mentorship and inspiration, but I guess it is out there if you are willing to look.

I thought about how I might do this. Typically, I’d throw together a powerpoint and begin talking about various tools, trends in the field, try to get a sense of what people are interested in, tailoring my comments to those topics. Today though, I’m trying a different approach. I want students to understand that the choice of tool, and the way data gets represented or manipulated in a computer, are not inconsequential choices. To that end, I’m working with Prezi. Like this: Like Loading...

"Most Wanted" 2013 Introduction Many corporations are complicit in violating human rights and the environment. As the free trade market continues to push forward the global economy, holding corporations accountable for their poor practices becomes difficult. Unfortunately, corporations are working harder than ever to cover abuses instead of preventing them. This does not have to be the reality. Global Exchange has compiled a list of the top ten “most wanted” corporations of 2013 based on issues like unlivable working conditions, corporate seizures of indigenous lands, and contaminating the environment, just to name a few. The Top Ten Corporate Criminals list is a guide to learn about what companies like Nike, Shell, Syngenta, and others you might have heard less about are doing to undermine human rights and the environment so that you can get informed and involved in combating the injustice. See our Corporate Criminals alumni. The List 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 1. CEO: Peter Voser Working On It: 2.
