Vlogger Sarah Austin Perfects the Work/Life Balance: One Seamlessly Feeds the Other
Sarah Austin" /> This interview is part of our ongoing series related to The Influence Project. Not long ago I had lunch with the vlogger and lifecaster Sarah Austin. We ate on the patio at Aureole and not ten minutes in she asked if I we could shoot our interview for a reality show she is doing. She said she'd send me what she wanted to use before it went live and wouldn't ask for a release until I gave her approval. I agreed and she rolled tape. Looking back, I realize this is what Austin does. Austin hosts a weekly Webcast on Justin.tv/pop17 that attracts 50,000 viewers and has been endorsed by, among others, Leonardo Dicaprio, Steve Wozniak, and Demi Moore. We recently spoke about online influence and our conversation landed on the question of when we thought was the best time to break news. Read the Q&A, then prepare to reschedule your programming. Mark Borden: When did you first go online? Sarah Austin: I was 10 in 1996 and my dad had a PC in his home office. Robert B.
The Mediavore's Dilemma: Making Sustainable Media Choices
The media business is becoming a complex game. A major study recently conducted by the Knight Commission concluded that the Internet and the proliferation of mobile media have unleashed a tsunami of innovation in the creation and distribution of information, a torrent teeming with hundreds of thousands of media channels and millions of media product choices. We also live in a world being confronted by an unprecedented array of environmental threats caused by human activities like agriculture, coal mining, oil extraction, industrial production, electricity use, transportation and deforestation — all of which contribute to climate changing greenhouse gas emissions. A factor making the media game even more complex is the carbon footprint created by media brands and their supply chains as they compete for advertising dollars and vie for consumer attention. * Can advertisers afford to ignore the environmental threats associated with their media supply chain choices? Game Change? The U.S.

Figures of speech
Figures of speech are ways of using words and phrases to add interest and 'colour' to what you are saying or writing. They vary in different countries and regions. Here are some of the main types. Some of the examples can be included in more than one category, e.g., colloquialisms overlap with idiomatic terms. Colloquialism Colloquial means relating to the sort of language used in everyday informal conversation. Here are a few examples: gimme = give me outta or outa = out of G'day = Good day (a greeting in Australia) ratbag = rascal, rogue, unpleasant person yeah = yes kid = child or teenager (it means 'young deer', so it's a compliment) seconds = the second helping of something at a meal Euphemism A euphemism is a polite, childish or picturesque word or phrase, used when the real word or phrase might be embarrassing or offensive to some people. casket = coffin pass away, pass on, pass over = die beverage = drink (noun) elderly citizen = old person hearing handicapped = deaf sit-upon = buttocks Jargon

With a Little Help From His Friends
In early 2001 he tried to launch his own Internet company, and to redeem himself. “It had to have the potential to be as big as Napster,” he says. “Otherwise it wasn’t interesting to me.” Eventually, Parker and some partners managed to land some seed money from Sequoia, the prestigious Silicon Valley venture-capital firm. He began to hang around with some of his newfound San Francisco friends, including night owl Jonathan Abrams, a programmer who had launched Friendster in 2002, in part to help people hook up. One day—in a scene fictionalized in The Social Network—Parker saw Thefacebook, as it was then known, on the computer of his roommate’s girlfriend, a student at Stanford. Matt Cohler, who joined Thefacebook shortly after Parker, is awed when he thinks about that pivotal e-mail. Parker impulsively flew to New York, where he met Zuckerberg for dinner, and the two quickly bonded. Yet again, Parker’s undisciplined ways would prove his undoing. “Why do we all put up with it?”
