BitTorrent's Offer To Sony: Release "The Interview" Safely Online With Us And Make Money20 Dec 2014 | 5:19 am"What better way to take back the Internet than to use technology Hollywood has been scared to use?"In the days after Sony canceled the theatrical release of the Seth Rogen, James Franco comedy The Interview, the studio has so far failed to make any alternative distribution arrangements, in part because crucial Video On Demand partners are unwilling to assume the risk of a potential new cyberattack.

Daily21 Dec 2014 | 2:08 amThere's a fundamental difference between the things you do every day, every single day, and the things you do only when the spirit moves you. One difference is that once you've committed to doing something daily, you find that the spirit moves you, daily. Rather than having a daily debate about today's agenda, you can decide once that you will do something, and then decide every single day how to do it.

It turns out that the air didn't get let out, the balloon disappeared. Balloons have pressure because there's only one tiny opening. Scarce shelf space. Only room for one newspaper. Only forty titles on the Billboard chart. It's that opening that creates the environment that allows pressure to exist, that pulls…
This or that vs. yes or no19 Dec 2014 | 2:14 amIt's much easier to persuade a philanthropist to fund your project than it is to persuade a rich person to become a philanthropist. Encouraging someone to shift slightly, to pick this instead of that, is a totally different endeavor than working to turn a no into a yes, to change an entire pattern of behavior. When looking to grow, start with people who already believe that they have a problem you can help them solve.

Soon Your Tech Will Talk to You Through Your Skin22 Dec 2014 | 2:30 amWhen Thomas Ella gets a text message on his smartphone, he can sometimes tell what it says without reading it. Instead, he feels it: An app called Mumble! "plays" the text as a pattern of vibrations, syllable by syllable, using higher-intensity vibrations when a message has exclamation points or capitalizations. After a few weeks of using the app, Ella developed a sort of tactile ESP, an ability to recognize texts as coming from particular friends and to distinguish a significant message that needs a reply from an "LOL" that doesn't. "It's cool," he says, "to have a reason…

They wore little black dresses and super high heels and they carried purses that glittered like warfare. As judgmental as I like to be, I am enamored with the idea because in all cases, people were allowing themselves to play, to…

5 Steps to Revising Your Content Marketing Strategy to Attract and Retain Future Customers18 Dec 2014 | 6:00 amThis is not a how-to post; this is a how-to-think post. What troubles me about the majority of current content creation activities from companies is the sheer lack of strategy and purpose.

Content Marketing Institute's latest research even found that only 38 percent of all marketers believe they are effective at content marketing.

Seth Godin on Stepping Up and Making it Happen16 Dec 2014 | 9:00 amSeth Godin is the author of 17 bestselling books. He's the founder of email marketing pioneer Yoyodyne, and the charity-driven publishing platform Squidoo. And he's the selfless dispenser of daily wisdom via the most popular marketing blog on the planet. But if you had to sum Seth up in one word, it might well be impresario. The classical definition of that word refers to a promoter, manager, or conductor of an opera or concert company. The modern definition, set forth by Seth himself when he's teaching others about the prime entrepreneurial role of the connection economy,…
Adaptive Content: A Trend to Pay Attention to in 201516 Dec 2014 | 6:00 amEach new year seems to bring with it a new buzz term or two describing a concept that will change how we reach an audience, or how we build and grow a business. Some of these buzz terms pan out and become legitimate, long-term parts of the lexicon because they work and prove important. Others flash then fade like the pet rock. So the question now as we look ahead to 2015 is what buzz concept should you be paying attention to? Because if there is a concept that is starting to pick up steam, and will prove worthy, you're going to want to get in on it at the ground floor. Well guess what?

White elephant: There's a reason they give this advice away20 Dec 2014 | 4:00 amJust like that tacky sweater your mom got you in 1997 that everyone keeps re-gifting, Forbes is the gift that keeps on giving. And speaking of giving, Eric Jackson doesn't think Apple should be giving money back to shareholders. "Apple Returns Cash To Shareholders Because It's Out Of Ideas On How To Invest It" (indirect link and tip o' the antlers to weid1) Jackson, you may recall (if you keep up to date on each outlandish piece of advice for how Apple should light its money on fire), has long suggested that Apple should have bought Twitter. Because social mumble mumble. So, when he…
BrandPost: How to design an environmentally friendly website19 Dec 2014 | 11:02 amYour website could be doing a lot more harm to the planet than you think. It might seem like a flash on a screen couldn't cause much damage, but every small feature of your site has a discernible impact on the environment, with more complex features requiring greater resources to maintain. Over time and in great quantities, it adds up. Many factors - from the color palette you choose to where you host your site - can influence your site's carbon footprint.Designing more environmentally friendly site for your business lets your customers know you have an ethical stance that reaches beyond…
BBC documentary highlights conditions at a Chinese iPhone factory, but is it all Apple's fault?19 Dec 2014 | 9:31 amI've worked at a lot of different jobs in my life, but there are a few I'd never like to try: picking crops on a farm, working in a chicken processing plant, and working in any kind of factory. The relentless assembly lines and the noise of the machines would be hard to deal with. Even those factories without deafening machines still seem like harsh places to work, if only because of the cadence they impose on employees. Whatever device you're reading this article on was built in a factory, most likely in China. In this country, not known for its pleasant working conditions, all the…
Instagram's spam purge reveals high-profile accounts with fake followers19 Dec 2014 | 8:42 amInstagram made good on its promise to delete spam accounts that have plagued the service and other social networks like Twitter. Sounds like a positive move, right? Well, the sudden evaporation of millions of fake users is enraging Instagram fans who care about things like high follower counts. Millions of accounts vanished in the Great InstaPurge of 2014, also dubbed the "Instagram Rapture," and the Instagrammers whose follower counts declined the most were the ones with the highest number of followers. Celebs like Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Beyoncé saw millions of followers…

A Frank Lloyd Wright Approach To Digital Design19 Dec 2014 | 1:00 amFrank Lloyd Wright was a century ahead of his time. He was a pioneer, an avant-garde architect who broke free of the traditions of his era. His views on materials, form, function, space and environment define his iconic works. These ideals and principles are still used in architecture today, and his buildings have stood the test of time, remaining relevant even in today's digital age. I find a lot of inspiration in Wright's timeless work. As designers, we're frequently asked to create digital experiences (especially in software) that will have a lifespan of 5 to 10 years. This is an…

Understanding Mobile Back End As A Service15 Dec 2014 | 5:52 amWhat if you could create an entire back end for your mobile applications that was feature-complete in data synchronization, push-notification support, user management and file-handling before you even started building the mobile experience? What if it was architected in such a way that you could easily create new cross-platform native and web applications seamlessly on this back end? While this might sound like a fairy tale, it is exactly what providers of mobile back end as a service (MBaaS) are aiming to give app developers. It is up to you to determine whether that is true for the…
Design Principles: Visual Weight And Direction12 Dec 2014 | 6:02 amEvery element on a web page exerts a visual force that attracts the eye of the viewer. The greater the force, the more the eye is attracted. These forces also appear to act on other elements, imparting a visual direction to their potential movement and suggesting where you should look next. We refer to this force as visual weight1 and to the perceived direction of visual forces as visual direction. Both are important concepts to understand if you want to create hierarchy, flow, rhythm and balance in your composition. Note: This is the fourth post in a series on design principles. You can find…

Restaurant Menu Food Photography Using Natural Light21 Dec 2014 | 10:00 amThere are many ways to approach food and drink photography, from big budget shoots with food stylists and complicated lighting setups, to low budget natural lighting setups.

Tips for Retouching a Night Photograph using Lightroom21 Dec 2014 | 5:00 amI will show you an experience I had of shooting in the middle of the night after sunset without a tripod. Many monuments don't allow you to shoot with a tripod but you still want to take a photo. The nicer light in my opinion is usually after sunset or before sunrise, so I will show you how to take and process a photo without a tripod at night. If you have a nice high vantage point to take a beautiful photo but cannot put down your tripod you will see that there is something we can do about it. The trick is you must put your camera on a timer, (use the built-in 2-second timer) meaning when…

Writer's Favorite Lens – The Canon 24-105mm f/420 Dec 2014 | 10:00 amI like shooting all manner of outdoor scenes. I am a sucker for landscapes and seascapes, which almost always require a wide-angle lens. I really enjoy exploring new cities with my camera, which also requires a wide-angle lens but can also be helped by a little zoom to capture details. And, of course, I like taking pictures of my family while we are out, which requires portrait focal lengths. My favorite lens, the Canon 24-105mm f/4 does all these things, and does them remarkably well. A wide angle allows you to get right behind your subject and also get the background. Shot at 24 mm (1/100,…

On Assignment: Lighting Like Leo20 Nov 2014 | 9:27 amOf all of the wonderful things that have happened since I began writing Strobist eight years ago, certainly the best is the steady parade of creative people I have met as a result. And few are more talented (or insan motivated) than London-based photographer Drew Gardner.We grew up in the same era, both working for newspapers in our respective cities. We left the papers and graduated to second careers. Drew moved onto a mix of editorial, commercial and art photography. And I, well, sometimes I'm not sure how exactly to describe what it is that I do.So it was with equal parts curiosity and…

Simple, Yet Smart 'Color Labels' Idea From One of My Readers19 Dec 2014 | 4:20 pmAfter taking my survey yesterday, Andy Ramsay, posted a comment with the very simple, clever, and effective way he uses Color Labels in Lightroom. Here's what he wrote: "I use traffic-light-style colour labels to identify 'Needs Work in Photoshop' [Red], 'Been worked in Photoshop, Needs final LR adjustments' [Amber], and 'Ready for Release' [Green]. …My portfolio smart collection is built to only use photos that are coloured Green and tagged 'portfolio'." This is the type of stuff we all tend to over-think. Love the…
Results from Yesterday's Lightroom "Tagging" Survey19 Dec 2014 | 8:51 amThanks to 1,800+ of you who were kind enough to take the survey yesterday (much appreciated). I was surprised to see… …that nearly 40% of the respondents use Color Labels as part of their workflow, especially since Lightroom Mobile doesn't yet support Color Labels (a feature that's been in the desktop version of Lightroom since 1.0). It supports Pick Flags and Star Ratings, but not Color Labels. Maybe if the LR team at Adobe sees that enough people use Color Labels they'll add it to a future Lightroom Mobile update. So, thanks again to all of you who participated.
Follow Up: Insetting One Photo On Top of Another In Lightroom18 Dec 2014 | 7:57 amHi Gang: This is just a quick follow-up to my post earlier this week on Back-screening an image. At the end, I showed an example with an inset photo overlapping a full bleed photo and I offered to show how it's done (because it's not super obvious. Well, it wasn't to me the first time I tried it anyway). A few folks asked me to show it, so here's one way to get it done: STEP ONE: While you can do this from scratch using the "Custom Package" Layout Style (in the Layout Styles panel) and then use the Cells panel to create it, I think it's quicker to…
Will You Take a Quick One-Question Lightroom Survey?18 Dec 2014 | 6:12 amMy buddy Terry White (from Adobe Systems) posted a survey yesterday on the use of different ways to tag your images in Lightroom (Pick Flags, Star Ratings and Color Labels), and I wanted to do the same thing here today with my audience (don't go look at Terry's — I don't want it to taint your answers). So, if you wouldn't mind, can you just take this quick one-question survey and let me know which of these three methods you use (you can choose all of them, or just one or two — choose as many as you use in your own workflow). I'll post the results shortly.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is determined to improve his scoring record and revealed manager Arsene Wenger is offering him plenty of guidance.
The Gunners striker is currently helping France's World Cup bid in Brazil and claimed an historic goal for his country during Friday's 5-2 triumph over Switzerland.
After being used as a second-half substitute in a 3-0 win over Honduras, Giroud was brought into the starting line-up and got Les Bleus off to a flying start with a 17th-minute header which took France to 100 World Cup goals.
On the domestic front, Giroud netted 16 goals and chalked up eight assists as Arsenal finished fourth in the Premier League but the 27-year-old is well aware of the need for a better return.
\"I feel I can go on improving,\" he told L'Equipe. \"I can improve some parts of my game and have better statistics.
\"For a forward, statistics are important, especially when you negotiate a contract. In the Champions League, it was more difficult. But you also need titles and key performances.
\"I am working hard in front of goal post to try to sort out some details. I think about missed opportunities, notably against Chelsea.\"
Former Montpellier forward Giroud, who made the switch to Emirates Stadium in 2012, is keen to review his performances and admits Arsenal boss Wenger is looking for him to develop into a more intelligent player.
\"I have to be more decisive in the box, but also in my way to keep the ball and defend,\" he added. \"You have to be demanding, trying to find peace in front of goal.
\"At least once a week I try to work in front of goal. I have been doing it systematically since I have been at Arsenal. I need it.
\"Arsene Wenger often gives me corrections after matches. We are talking about opportunities.
\"To him, I am not crafty enough. Once he told me I am too frank in my runs, too predictable. I have to be more confusing.\"

"We don't give a damn about the big three, L.A. let's show 'em we about to threepeat," the Doggfather raps on "Purp And Yellow", just another in a long line of jams about one of his favorite West Coast cities.
Rap-Up.com posted the above photo of Snoop and Game on the set of the video, along with a snap of the latter MC's cut finger. "Game bled red after he split his finger while smashing a guitar. Ouch!" the site noted.

The Founders wrote "the law of nations" into the document; the far right wants to read it out
Brendan McDermid/Reuters
Not long ago, Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL) introduced a bill to forbid the Supreme Court from ever citing or using any precedent from international law. In the conservative Washington Times, Adams explained:
The Constitution laid the foundation for our nation's judicial system, and allowing foreign law to supersede it in any capacity leads to its erosion. Not only is using international precedent a transparent disregard for the Constitution, but it could be used to advance a judge's personal political agenda over the best interests of the nation.
Adams said she was outraged that in recent years, the Court has discussed international law and human rights norms in three decisions: Atkins v. Virginia, which held that executing the mentally retarded violates the Constitution; Roper v. Simmons, which held that executing adults for crimes they committed as children violates the Constitution; and (most importantly) Lawrence v. Texas, which held that jailing competent adults for consensual private sex with members of the same sex violates the Constitution.
Many conservatives loathe any limitation on the death penalty; they also loathe recognition of the basic human rights of gay men and lesbians. If courts are according the right to life to the retarded or to juveniles -- if they are according any measure of equality to gay people -- foreigners must be to blame. Judges must be forced to stop their ears to their strange, seductive foreignness.
In November 2010, the voters of Oklahoma amended their state constitution to forbid their judges from ever using international, foreign, or Muslim Sharia law in their decisions. We can all breathe a sigh of relief that Oklahoma's all-powerful Muslim bloc (less than one-half of one percent of the state's population in recent surveys) can't use its unstoppable political muscle to oppress the 94 percent of the population that is Christian. But the sponsors of the initiative silently worked in a provision overturning Article VI § 2 of the United States Constitution. Oklahoma judges can't cite treaties in their decisions any more -- even though the U.S. Constitution makes them "the supreme law of the land... anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
Senators at the confirmation hearings for Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked her about her views on using foreign and international law. Her measured answer was instructive:
American law does not permit the use of foreign law or international law to interpret the Constitution. That's a given, and my speech explained that, as you noted, explicitly. There is no debate on that question. There's no issue about that question.
The question is a different one because there are situations in which American law tells you to look at international or foreign law... [T]here are some situations in which courts are commanded by American law to look at what others are doing. So, for example, if the U.S. is a party to a treaty, and there's a question of what the treaty means, then courts routinely look at how other courts of parties who are signatories are interpreting that. There are some U.S. laws that say you have to look at foreign law to determine the issue. So, for example, if two parties have signed a contract in another country that's going to be done in that other country, then American law would say you may have to look at that foreign law to determine the contract issue.
Sotomayor's answer took note of one fact the far-right does not understand: international law is part of the Constitution. The framers knew a great deal of international law. Article I § 8 cites among the powers of Congress "to define and punish.. offenses against the law of nations," and "to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water." Article II empowers the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to "make treaties." Article III extends the judicial power of federal courts "to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls [and] to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;" and Article VI § 2, as noted above, says "treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States" will form part of "the supreme law of the land... any thing in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
All of these concepts -- offenses against the law of nations, declarations of war, authorized privateering on the high seas, and most particularly treaties made by the United States -- are at or near the core of what is called "international law." Their presence in the Constitution isn't an accident.

The Great Debate
Taxing spoils of the financial sector
If you want less of something, tax it.
That truism is often used as an argument against a tax on profits, or health benefits, or employment, but in the case of the rents extracted from the economy by the financial services industry here's hoping it proves more of a promise than a threat.

- John Kemp is a Reuters columnist. The views expressed are his own. -
Reports that China has asked for a discussion about reserve currencies at next week's expanded Group of Eight summit in Italy has added to confusion about whether the country wants to dethrone the dollar from its status as the world's sole reserve currency.

NFL.com ranked Lovie Smith as the 14th best coach in the NFL today.
Booger said there's no way that Lovie Smith isn't a top 10 coach. He's a proven winner and took a team QB'ed by Rex Grossman to the Super Bowl.
Marc said that Lovie Smith's offensive production has always held him back and is the reason why he isn't in the top 10.

How to Suppress Women's Writing
University of Texas Press, 1983 - Literary Criticism - 159 pages
If certain people are not suppose to have the ability to produce 'great' literature, and if this supposition is one of the means used to keep such people in their place, the ideal situation (socially speaking) is one in which such people are prevented from producing any literature at all.

Great fan!

Good Looking

Bargain Hunter, Practical, High-End Shopper, Stylish
Very nice and good looking. The lighting store where we saw it wanted $650 for it. Then they would take 30% off. Some where around $450 before tax. Got it here for $319 including a 2ft. down rod. It works great with the large room we have. Also the customer service was great the two times I called them. Will be back for lights next...
