Top 10 ways to increase followers on Twitter
Although Facebook is still the boss of social media, Twitter seems to be catching up. Nowadays everyone you know who are on Facebook are on Twitter too. Twitter is known as a great place for stalking people's lives without having to move your feet as we live in a generation where everyone loves to express every single thoughts they have on social networks, espically Twitter as it's the only social website where it's socially acceptable to post frequently where as in Facebook if one was to post several times, people would become annoyed. It's easy to sign up for Twitter and start Tweeting, but what's the point of tweeting if you barely have any followers? Tweeting your thoughts & having no one read them is quite embarrassing when you realize it's equivalent to talking to yourself. So here in this article I will be discussing Top 10 ways to increase/get more Followers on Twitter.
Don't forget to comment what you thought about this article & your favorite way to gain followers.
#1 – Make sure your profile is presentable
The first thing you should do after signing up is adding a profile picture & writing a nice bio as these two things are the first thing a person will see and then base his first impression on you and decide whether or not to follow you. Remember, first impression is the last impression. Adding a profile picture, cover (optional but recommended) & a nice bio puts a good impression on the visitor and increases chance of them following you by 80 percent.
Tip: When choosing a bio, write down what describes you best. If you're still confused on what to write down, use this Bio Generator to get an idea.
#2 – Follow everyone you know & ask them to give you an shoutout
When you're new to twitter, don't bother following randomers as there is less chance of them following you back as their first thing in their mind would be " What will I get in return of following him/her? To get more money, you need money. To get more women, you need women. Same as for followers, you NEED followers to gain more FOLLOWERS. So start of by following people you're sure that would follow you back such as classmates, relatives, teachers etc And also don't be afraid to ask them for a shoutout, you'll be surprised how many people would follow you just because of a shoutout. Shoutouts always worked for me in my initial stage.
#3 – Tweet when most people are online
If you've already have 1000 followers but noticed they don't retweet or fav any of your tweets, the reason is because you're tweeting on the wrong time. The best time to tweet is when majority your followers are online. If majority of your followers are locals then it's easy to map out when to tweet but if majority of your followers are from another country then you will need to tweet according to their timezone.
#4 – Participate in Trends
The most popular feature of Twitter is Trends which you can view on the left side of Twitter's homepage. Click on a Trend of your choice & start tweeting under that trend in order to attract attention from other people and gain followers.
Tip: If you don't like the current trends, you can change them by clicking on " Change " option besides Trends.
#5 – Use Hashtags
If you're not using hashtags in your tweets then you're using Twitter wrong. Using a hashtag helps more people see your tweets instead of just your followers, which will help you gain followers and if a lot of other people start tweeting using the same Hashtag, it can turn into a Trend which is pretty awesome.
Tip: Make sure to use hashtags related to what you're tweeting so people don't ignore it or flag it as spam.
#6 – Post Pictures
If you thought Twitter was all just about tweeting texts then you're wrong! In fact using pictures with hashtags helps make your tweet stand out from the rest & gain more audience, meaning more followers. If all you do is Tweet plain text then your followers would get bored so it's advised to post pictures once in a while to help make your Twitter profile more alive.
#7 – Link your Twitter Profile
Make sure to place a link to your Twitter profile on your website or other social networking accounts so people from there can follow you too, preferably Facebook & Instagram as most Twitters users are on them as compared to other social networking sites.
#8 – Tweet Frequently
Don't forget to tweet frequently if you want to keep your Followers stable. Most people use services to track Inactive followings on Twitter and they don't even hesitate to unfollow those who forgot to tweet once a day, but I wouldn't recommend you to sacrifice your life in order to use Twitter everyday I recommend you to tweet at least once per day or in 2 days to avoid those pesky services. Everyone hates following Inactive people and so do you probably, so make sure not to become one of them.
#9 – Retweet & Favourite others
" To gain, you gotta give first " This is the main rule of social networking, if someone interacts with you by following or sharing your posts they expect the same in return otherwise you'll scare them away. You can use this technique on others by retweeting & favouriting tweets on your timeline so they can do the same.
#10 – Use services
Use free services such as Crowdfire or Unfollowers to track who unfollowed or followed you on Twitter easily so you can return the favour by unfollowing them or following back, they're very useful tools & prevent a lot of hassle from having to go through your whole profile and figure out who unfollowed you and who didn't etc. Read How to see who Unfollowed you on Twitter for more information.

Travel is a fantastic thing to do. It broadens your horizons, lets you meet new people and see new places and it is a great way to take some time off to relieve stress and blow off steam. Travel can also be difficult and dangerous, however. Read on to find out what you need to know when traveling.
Shop around for the best deal. Often, a shift in a day or two from your departure or return can amount to a significant savings of several hundred dollars in your transportation cost. Many websites can check this automatically for you. As a general rule, if you can avoid travelling on Fridays or Sundays, you will save a pile of money.
Be sure to confirm your reservation at the establishment you will be lodging in. Hotels are well within their right to give your room to someone else if you do not confirm your reservation. A quick phone call can ensure that you don't find yourself without a place to stay, when you arrive.
To help you avoid paying excess airline baggage fees on your return trip, when you are more likely to have souvenirs to bring home, pack old clothing and shoes that you might want to give away. Then, when you are packing to come home, you can leave or donate the old clothing and shoes to make room in your luggage if necessary.
Pack some plastic bags when going on a longer trip. Plastic bags always come in handy when you spill something, for toiletries or if you have some dirty laundry. Meanwhile, some places have laundry opportunities, so it is always useful to carry a plastic bag with you to keep your dirty laundry in.
Plan ahead for your vacation by applying for a credit card that has loyalty points, making sure to always pay off the card in full. This strategy can help you earn a free flight or a free hotel room to use for your vacation. After you've earned your reward, save up for your next trip.
Remember, when traveling abroad it is better to avoid drinking the local tap water. Most visitors will be unaccustomed to the local water, and can get quite ill. It's much easier to go to the local supermarket or grocery store, and buy bottled water instead. It cuts down your chance of sickness, as bottled water is usually produced to the highest of standards.
When traveling by air, conceal a store of emergency money in your carry-on luggage. This stash will be useful if you run into a worst-case scenario, like a mugging or pick-pocketing. Make your stash as large as you feel comfortable with, but remember you may need it to purchase food, transportation or even an overnight room.
Now that you know what kinds of concerns there are when traveling, and how to counter them, you're ready to book your own trip! Travel is great for your mind and health and can be a whole lot of fun. We hope you enjoy your trip and have a great time!

Bounding the speed of `spooky action at a distance'Por Camilo Arcaya • 7 mar, 2013 • Sección: Leyes
Juan Yin, Yuan Cao, Hai-Lin Yong, Ji-Gang Ren, Hao Liang, Sheng-Kai Liao, Fei Zhou, Chang Liu, Yu-Ping Wu, Ge-Sheng Pan, Qiang Zhang, Cheng-Zhi Peng, Jian-Wei Pan
Abstract: In the well-known EPR paper, Einstein et al. called the nonlocal correlation in quantum entanglement as `spooky action at a distance'. If the spooky action does exist, what is its speed? All previous experiments along this direction have locality loopholes and thus can be explained without having to invoke any `spooky action' at all. Here, we strictly closed the locality loopholes by observing a 12-hour continuous violation of Bell inequality and concluded that the lower bound speed of `spooky action' was four orders of magnitude of the speed of light if the Earth's speed in any inertial reference frame was less than 10^(-3) times of the speed of light.

Happy Sunday folks.
Lets start by saying computer models have not been that great this winter beyond a few days out which is a common problem in El Nino winters since much of the energy comes from the Pacific Ocean where there is little data input. Many times a week out the models said there would be a snow storm in the Northeast only to have rain. But the pattern these last couple weeks of January was the favored period in our year-ahead forecast based on statistics and 24 climate cycles to bring a stormy pattern and 2 of 3 short range models (GFS, Euro) agree (Canadian does not). That said, here's a breakdown of the 3 systems to watch. This is a fast moving progressive pattern so nothing really slows down as systems race across the U.S. and keep on moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. This should keep these storms in the moderate to heavy snow category (4-12" range) and not a mega Nor'easter (1-3 feet) as the systems traverse mainly Southwest to East Northeast and not right up the East Coast.
Storm #1 (21st Thursday - 23rd Saturday)looks to develop in Arkansas around the 21st. Snow-Mixed precip likely from Missouri to Kentucky on the northern fringe of the storm. By the 22nd the storm moves over West Virginia with a band of moderate toheavy snowy from Southern Illinois to Connecticut. The storm moves well off the New Jersey coast by the 23rd with moderate to heavy snow possible from Central Virginia throughout the coastal big cities from DC to Boston for the first accumulating snow storm of the season. So, East Coast it appears the Friday to Saturday time-frame is your period to watch for snow. The West Coast will get 5" rain totals from Northern California to coastal Washington the 17th-23rd.
Storm #2(24th Sunday - 29th Friday) will come from the West Coast around the 24th with the energy diving down toward Texas by the 26th. The storm will take a slightly more southerly track and head toward North Georgia around the 27th with snow from Southern Illinois to West Virginia and then off the Virginia coast by the 28th. Snow on the 28th would be possible from Ohio to Northern New Jersey into New England. California again gets pounded with more heavy rain around the 28th with 1" rain as far south as Bakersfield CA and widespread 3-4" up the entire West Coast.
Storm #3 (30th Saturday - 31st Sunday) looks to be more of a Midwest event with a storm developing in Kansas and taking an inland track toward the Northern Great Lakes. This would bring heavy snow from West Kansas throughout much of the North Central U.S., Upper Midwest and Great Lakes but an overrunning snow quickly changing to rain in the Northeast.
So, a lot to watch and yes models will change 4 times a day but the overall pattern at least appears more favorable for folks from Kentucky to Massachusetts to get some moderate to possibly heavy snow later this week and then heavy snow in the last week of the month for the entire mountain West, Midwest, Great Lakes and interior New England...more likely to be rain in the big cities.

Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat to give billion dollar fortune to charity
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's star, Chow Yun-fat, has committed his entire billion dollar net worth fortune to charity
Chow Yun-fat, the Hong Kong actor behind box office hits like Crouching Tigger, Hidden Dragon, has pledged to give his entire billion-dollar net worth to charity.
The actor became a household name through roles in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Anna and the King and Bulletproof Monk, and has used this fame generously through his charitable patronage, including through he and his wife's charity.
In his latest commitment, the actor said he would donate his 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollar fortune to charity following he and wife Jasmine Tan's death. It follows years of Yun-fat's public plan to give most of his money away.
"The money's not mine," Yun-fat told Jayne Stars. "I'm only keeping it safe for the time being. My dream is to be a happy and normal person."
Yun-fat is famous for not just his acting career, but his frugality. He previously told the same publication that he lives off of just $AU143 a month, relying on public transport to get around and shunning designer labels and luxury goods for discount stores.
"The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner," he said.
He has joined the ranks of other elite actors and billionaires who have publicly pledged their own fortunes to charity, including Bill and Melinda Gates, Richard and Joan Branson, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan.
Through The Giving Pledge, the world's wealthiest have committed to giving more than half of their wealth away. Today it consists of 186 of the wealthiest individuals, couples and families across 22 countries worldwide.
Warren Buffet, co-creator with Bill and Melinda Gates, said: "They are passionate about giving their wealth to help reduce inequalities and improve the lives of everyone in the world."

We Hunt Buffalo Self-Titled Reissue out Sept. 20Posted in Whathaveyou on September 5th, 2019 by JJ Koczan
I always feel compelled whenever I write about these guys — and it's been a couple times now — to say that I don't think they really hunt buffalo. Not the least because they're from Vancouver and I don't think there are any buffalo in Vancouver, as many as there are anywhere. Nonetheless, even as the B.C. trio We Hunt Buffalo continue to support 2018's Head Smashed In (review here) as they did earlier this year for a trip abroad that included a stop at Desertfest London, the Fuzzorama Records (Sweden) signees continue to make international headway, hooking up with Greek imprint The Lab Records for a vinyl edition of their long-sold-out early-2012 self-titled debut. The platter, which includes a take on King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man," will be pressed up in an edition of 300 copies and released to the public on Sept. 20, but of course since the record's been out for seven years, it's streaming now. You can hear it courtesy of We Hunt Buffalo's Bandcamp at the bottom of this post.
The PR wire brings word of the reissue:
WE HUNT BUFFALO – We Hunt Buffalo ( LAB040 )
Canadian fuzz rockers We Hunt Buffalo to reprint self titled debut on white vinyl (limited edition of 300) with Greece's The Lab Records.
The 2011 LP has been out of print for some time now and as demand grows for vinyl copies of the album, the band is thrilled to be teaming up with The Lab Records.
"I think it's so cool how a collaboration like this can happen" says Ryan Forsythe (Vocals/Guitar). "Here we have a band and record label on separate sides of the world coming together to release this record. We really like what The Lab Records is doing and are stoked to be part of the roster."
Since the self titled LP, We Hunt Buffalo have gone on to release two additional full lengths and an EP. They've spent much time touring Europe, supporting Monolord & Truckfighters. Their first headlining Euro tour was a success in spring 2019 so expect to see them back soon (with hopefully, appearances in Greece! ).
Release date 20/09/2019.

Kyle Bean's wonderful design project is supposed to be a comment on runaway consumerism. Named Disposable Technology, it is a "response to our consumer relationship with technology and obsolescence", representing the throwaway culture of gadgets by constructing their likenesses in plain, worthless cardboard.
Nice try, Kyle, but you messed up. These cardboard clones are amazing: Far from making us meditate on the wastefulness of technological progress, they make us wish that somebody would actually make a cardboard camera or corrugated computer. Muji would be the obvious choice for this – the company already makes cardboard speakers. And the environment would benefit, too. After all, who's going to miss a few more trees?

LAKELAND | What do a paint-your-own-pottery studio and a hip new tea bar have in common? Kristin Miller.
Miller, 40, owner of Picasso's Cup Art Café, located at 1375 Town Center Drive in Lakeland's Lakeside Village, and the newly opened Tea Largo just next door, has always been a bit of an entrepreneur, dating back to her childhood when she blew away the competition in her school's magazine drive.
In 2002, Miller, having recognized the pottery painting trend after visiting a studio in Orlando, opened Picasso's at a location on South Florida Avenue. Picasso's was among Polk's first pottery painting stores, Miller said, but within just a short time, several other studios had opened in the county.
Over the years, some of that competition has faded as other studios have closed. Regardless, no matter how much competition is out there or what others might be doing, Miller, who employs 15, is solely focused on her business - and spotting emerging trends.
Here, Miller, who grew up in Ohio and has also lived in California, talks about her journey into the pottery business and her passion for tea.
Q: What was your work experience before opening Picasso's Cup?
A: I managed a Laura Ashley store when I was 21. I worked in one of the flagship stores and I also managed one that was licensed in a department store in Pasadena, Calif. I was basically managing a department in a department store. I also had a traveling portraits franchise with INVU Portraits for about three years. About the time I started this, the franchise fizzled.
Q: What attracted you to the pottery business?
A: I went to one in Orlando and there were kids with parents and people on dates. They were sitting there talking and laughing. It's not like a movie where you go and you're just sitting next to one another. I just felt like we needed something like that in Lakeland.
Q: You say running a business like this is harder than people think. How so?
A: It's very labor intensive. You don't just ring up a sale. That's just the beginning, when people paint the pottery. Pieces have to be glazed and have to dry again. Then they have to be fired, sorted, matched back up with their owners and packaged.
Q: There's a quote from the Bible, about God being the potter and all of us being the works of his hands, prominently displayed in Picasso's. How does your faith help you every day?
A: We had the same quote at our other location. There was just no way we could move here and not make a statement with our quote. It's positive. It affirms our uniqueness, that we're handmade by God.
Q: What is now Tea Largo was once a room for pottery parties. How did the tea bar come into existence?
A: We didn't have many parties of 30 or more. So, when you consider dollars per square foot, it's not what we needed. After the first of (2007), we made the decision to take out the bar in the main room (where Miller sold coffee, smoothies and dessert items) and focus on tea. It took about two months to build.
Q: Why tea?
A: Tea is so trendy. Tea is hot. Tea is everywhere. It's the trend. It's almost healthier than water because it's infused with vitamins and antioxidants. It's awesome because now you don't have to drive to Tampa or Orlando just to get your favorite teas. They're right here locally. You can get coffee anywhere. I didn't really know I would enjoy tea so much. It's my favorite thing so far.
Q: What are your plans for Tea Largo?
A: I love the tea concept. Tea Largo is designed to be duplicatable. I always wanted to duplicate something. The way we set it up, it's on its own, kind of like its own store. I would like to create a strong regional brand. I think I have to take it to the next level. I picture tea bars, some with seating, some without, sprinkled throughout the state.
Q: Any idea where the first one will be?
A: Southwest Florida. It'll probably be some time in the coming year.
Q: You say people ask whether Tea Largo is a franchise. Is it?
A: It's not a franchise. Having been a part of a franchise, I don't think I want to go that direction. But there has got to be some way for people to have ownership in the business.
Q: You went to a small Christian college in the Ozarks before transferring to Baylor University, but you didn't graduate. How do you feel about college? Did you get anything out of it?
A: It's obviously important. My husband was talking to my stepson about college recently and I was like, 'Excuse me, I didn't finish.' But I think I've always been an entrepreneur at heart. My work experience in California shaped how I worked from then on.
Q: Speaking of family, your family is involved in your business. How so?
A: I couldn't do it without my mom. She comes up from Fort Myers and helps a lot. My husband, Mark, is very supportive. (Kristin is married to Mark Miller who works for Lanier Upshaw, not the local lawyer as many people assume.) My kids help out a lot. They think the businesses are cool. They enjoy it and are proud of it.
Q: What advice would you give someone looking to open a small business?
A: Save your money. Everything costs more than you think it will. Whatever you budget, expect it to cost twice that. I always say that if it were easy, anybody could do it. That's what keeps me going.
It's Tea Time for Miller and She Loves Every Sip

Random road trips
I decided out of the blue last Sunday night that I needed to visit my sister in Savannah Georgia. I hopped on a Megabus and 4 hours later I was in Atlanta where my sister was coming to pick me up. Have y'all ever heard of Megabus? I just found out about it not too long ago. It's amazing and so so cheap!! I'll be posting a more thorough blog later on about my trip. I just got home yesterday and I am already wanting to plan my next trip.
Put here for your reading pleasure by Kelley Kronic at 4:00 PM

The piracy of academic textbooks is neither more nor less complex than is piracy of most other forms of digital content. Much has been written about digital piracy in general but rather less about the specific topic of piracy of electronic academic texts. Hence, the literature review below, which collects what has been written to date on this subject. As a somewhat 'up to the minute' topic, much relevant literature exists only in the form of blog posts and popular-press articles, although the academic journal press is also taking note. It is at least in part to unify these perspectives that we have compiled this review. Technical details, current information on litigation, alternatives to piracy, and analyses of the ethical and social-psychological aspects of digital piracy among students are all discussed.
If it can be reduced to ones and zeroes, it can almost certainly be pirated1. This is the bitter lesson to which virtually all 'cultural' industries have found themselves subject for nearly 20 years now. Beginning with the music industry's fateful encounter with Napster and other file-sharing sites and protocols and continuing through the Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) technological and legal efforts to bring down 'torrenting' sites and networks, content piracy has continued unabated. The truth seems to be that there is no legal regime, law enforcement campaign or technological development capable of reining in content piracy for long. Indeed, it is now almost easier than ever for someone to either offer or obtain a piece of cultural material--a piece of music, a film, television program, video game, comic, or book--and no money need change ever change hands, certainly not with the content's original creator or publisher. At the time of this writing, online piracy is still expanding into new genres of exploitable content. Much has been made of Alexandra Elbakyan's Scihub web site for piracy of scientific journal articles (as well as Aaron Swartz' earlier effort to 'liberate' similar content). Makers of tabletop wargaming figures must now perform regular sweeps of sites that share specifications for 3D printing and issue takedown notices for postings that violate their copyrights. And as the number of printable substrates for 3D printing multiply, there is now speculation that the next frontier for online piracy will be in the realm of pharmaceuticals.
And all of this is true not just for hackers or technically savvy individuals but for anyone of even middling skills and equipped with only basic computing equipment.
The piracy of academic textbooks is neither more nor less complex than is piracy of most other forms of digital content. Modern textbooks tend to integrate large numbers of diagrams, formulae, and full-color images along with textual information. They tend also to be lengthy, often 500 to 1,000 pages or more. But the proliferation of high-resolution flatbed scanners and high speed Internet connections makes it possible to generate good quality scans directly from a hard copy of a text. Adobe's durable, flexible Portable Document Format (PDF) specification (now standardized as ISO 32000-1) is generally the preferred medium for such documents.
Even simpler for pirates are those cases in which digital copies of a textbook are produced by publishers themselves (as 'born digital' e-books or e-book editions of print books). Such e-books are usually protected by some form of authentication or Digital Rights Management (DRM) software. But easily available software exists to overcome such restrictions. With the text thus in either case 'liberated' as a DRM-free, infinitely shareable electronic file, the textbook can be shared among friends, reposted to wikis and servers, stored and transported on all manner of portable storage media and, most threatening to publishers, made available to anyone via file-sharing client extensions like torrents or else through older, non-Internet platforms like Usenet or Tor.
Much has been written about digital piracy in general but rather less about the specific topic of piracy of electronic academic texts. Hence, the literature review below--which I have broken into categories for clarity and ease of reference--collects what has been written to date on this subject. As a somewhat 'up to the minute' topic, much relevant literature exists only in the form of blog posts and popular-press articles, although the academic journal press is also taking note. It is at least in part to unify these perspectives that we have compiled this review.
Stephen Witt's 2015 New Yorker article "The Man Who Broke the Music Industry" (shortly thereafter expanded as a book-length treatment How Music Got Free) traced the early history of Internet media piracy, beginning with 'ripped' music from just one individual working at one CD factory (Witt 2015a; 2015b). The article traces the evolution of such piracy towards other forms of media (specifically, movies) but does not mention the more-recent phenomena of e-book piracy. The book devotes only marginally more attention to this more-recent area of digital piracy. Nevertheless, it remains a worthwhile preface to current study of the landscape of digital piracy and of corporations' and the government's effort to tamp down on the phenomena.
Over a decade ago from the time of this writing, Siva Vaidynathan's book The Anarchist in the Library likewise served as a broad introduction to the evolution of copyright and copyright violation in the digital age. Vaidhyanathan introduced and refined several important ideas and observations, including that large-scale holders-of-copyright in the digital era were themselves moving away from reliance on copyright (or at least, copyright alone) to secure their property, in preference to licensing and Digital Rights Management. He also described an idea he called a 'global jukebox' or 'Celestial Jukebox' as being the implied end-goal of many copyright-holding corporations. This he defined as the almost infinite granularity--and monetary metering--of access to all content which would, concomitantly, be perfectly secure and invulnerable to piracy:
"Once the infrastructure was built . . . distributing each song [or any other piece of content], would cost the industry almost nothing. No one would be able to copy these songs without going to extreme measures . . . One of the central principles of information policy during the 1990s focused on the idea of bringing smaller and smaller "works"--a song instead of an album, an article instead of a magazine, a single film in lieu of a movie channel subscription--to consumers. In turn, consumers would pay a flexible, metered price for access to the materials."
When The Anarchist in the Library was written, the iTunes store was just 3 years old and sold only music. Its growth and expansion into the sale of movies, TV shows, books, and other media and the appearance of competitor shops run by Google, Amazon, and others had not yet occurred. There are not even any entries for 'books' or 'e-books' in the book's index. Yet the Vaidhyanathan's observations were prescient and certainly bear relevance for looking at piracy of academic texts.
The specific research on digital textbook piracy is quite new, self-consciously so in some cases. The independently published white paper "Understanding Textbook Piracy" (Rebelo 2015) states quite clearly in its introduction:
"While there is a growing literature on the consequences of the digitization of entertainment media (music, movies, etc.), there is much less research on the effect of the digitization of books. In part this scarcity of research reflects the fact that books have more recently been made available in digital form ... This paper focuses on an important subset of the publishing industry: the textbook industry, which for decades has curated students' learning experiences at all grade levels."
Indeed, even quite recent discussions of digital piracy, supposedly covering the entire gamut of pirate-able media types, often lack any discussion of electronic textbook (or even just e-book) piracy (see for instance Peitz and Waelbroeck (2006)), simply because the phenomena is so new.
Rebelo's paper covers numerous sub-topics of interest, among which is that academic texts are sought out and 'consumed' on a basis different from that of the other usual targets of digital piracy--movies, music, games, etc.--which can all be grouped as 'entertainment.' Digital textbooks, by contrast, are aids to academic study, which students are generally required to read (at least if they want to get a good grade). This conclusion is in turn based upon an earlier paper by Scorcu and Vici, who note that the 'compulsory' character of textbook reading seems to obviate any 'cultural value' of textbooks in the eyes of many students, including many of those who admit to pirating them (Scorcu and Vici 2013).
At the time of this writing, Rebelo's paper is perhaps the best available description of the overall phenomena of digital textbook piracy. This is our own admittedly subjective judgment: The primary research thrust of Rebelo is social-psychological, dealing primarily with the motivations of students who decide to pirate (or not pirate) e-textbooks. The portions describing the phenomena itself are primarily found within the introduction and conclusion. At the time of this writing, the paper is not highly cited within Google Scholar (indeed, the only responsive papers for the search "textbook piracy" with a significant numbers of hits are two pieces on open textbooks (Baker et al 2009; 37 cites) and social bookmarking (Farwell et al. 2010; 19 cites), neither of which specifically treat of textbook piracy except perhaps to speculate that their topics might be used to combat such piracy).
As an interesting aside, Farwell et al cites an article from Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP) Bulletin that might also bear relevance to this topic ("Online piracy working group promoting best practices for sites to prevent illegal file sharing" (AAP 2009)) but which cannot, to the best of this author's ability, be located by any means. The PSP Bulletin is an entirely electronic publication and no backfiles older than 2012 are maintained by any library in Worldcat. The American Association of Publishers, when contacted, was unable to provide any copy of this article or of the issue of the Bulletin in which it supposedly appeared. Efforts to find the content of this publication via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine were likewise unsuccessful. This represents an interesting case of Internet 'memory loss.'
One interesting genre of articles regarding textbook piracy comes from the psychological literature, specifically from the study of emotions and ethics. That is: How do students feel about pirating such content and how do they ethically justify committing the illegal act of doing so? While these articles might not seem fully relevant to this review, they include a number of interesting secondary findings regarding the motivations behind piracy.
Much social-psychological and ethical research has been done on the motivations of those who engage in digital piracy in general (rather than piracy of academic texts in particular). Most of the findings of this genre of research are in line with intuition: Individuals who expressed less concern for moral behavior or thought or who perceive that their peers are accepting of such actions are more likely to engage in digital piracy in general. This was the finding of Al Rafee and Cronan (2006) to give only one example among many.
On the topic of piracy of academic texts in specific, there exists less research: of the few papers that exist, many are de novo explorations of the field, citing only general research on either ethical decision making and/or digital piracy in general in their bibliographies. That said, their findings generally track with that of the broader field. Su, et al. (2011) hypothesized and then confirmed direct relationships between intention to pirate a text and several other factors including cost of the texts, anticipated benefits (viz. shortened time to acquire the texts), ease of opportunity to pirate texts, and level of approval among peers. In all such cases, the effects of these factors were partially mediated by anticipatory guilt of the individual.
McCorkle et al's (2012) development of a model of consumer behavior regarding the decision to either purchase or pirate electronic content included a brief mention of electronic textbook piracy. The upshot of that paper was that no single model of consumer behavior can be described at this point: that there exist distinct consumer cultures with varying levels of willingness to engage in piracy. With regard to textbook piracy, McCorkle noted that earlier investigations of ethical behavior--such as the resale of examination copies of textbooks distributed for free to instructors--may not fully inform current behavioral research: That the technology of electronic piracy is so ubiquitous, anonymous, and possesses such low barriers to entry that it may invite unethical behavior even on the part of those who would never engage in the sale of illegal physical goods.
As with Su, Camarero, et al (2013) found that an individual's ethical acceptance of piracy hinged heavily on the ease of opportunity to do so, especially if their own perception of the technology involved was that it was easy to use. That is, the better an individual's grasp of P2P, torrenting or other such means of filesharing was, the more likely they were to engage in textbook piracy. Another positive correlation was found between individuals' perception of the usefulness and/or acceptability of textbooks in electronic format as a substitute for hardcopies and their willingness to pirate. Finally, Camerero et al. noted that among a majority of students surveyed, there was an expectation that e-textbooks should cost approximately 50% what hardcopy books do (which, they noted, represents a fairly accurate guess of the expense saved of not having to print and physically distribute them) whereas in practice they usually cost 70 to 80% of what hardcopies do, and that this disparity--a clear case of rent-seeking in textbook markets--further motivated feelings of the ethical acceptability of textbook piracy among students.
Dionisio et al (2013) made similar findings to Camerero et al. but expanded the number of factors considered to include gender, age, educational stage, family income, impressions of one's own country's economic status and, perhaps most important, perceived legal risk. Upon these axes, statistical findings of note included that females were modestly less likely to engage in textbook piracy; that students closer to graduation were more likely to engage in piracy; and that students who perceived the economic status of their country as being poor or troubled were more likely to engage in piracy.
For those not fully conversant with the technology: a 'torrent' is a non-Internet online protocol whereby users share files 'peer to peer' (P2P). The users need not know anything about each other or ever speak; they simply participate jointly in the network and the files stored locally on each of their computers are made available to each other via an intermediating torrenting program (and they need not be using the same one). The torrent itself does not contain the content to be shared: It is rather just a metadata sequence for identifying the file to others as well as cryptographic values for ensuring integrity of the file. Any individual torrent might be hosted by dozens, hundreds, or thousands of users simultaneously, with the torrent requested by an individual 'fulfilled' by some or all of them. Thus, the ability to obtain a torrent quickly is a function not only of bandwidth but of the number of users offering a file.
Basic introductions to the techniques of obtaining files via torrenting are manifold on the Internet, many of them flogging specific torrenting clients (viz. desktop or, increasingly, browser-based programs for managing one's torrenting activity). Some, more helpfully, compare and contrast various clients (Henry 2011). As with many discussions in software development, the currency of such pieces drops off rapidly with time.
Sites which prominently host torrents (which, to emphasize, does not mean that those sites are offering files, but rather directions to those files) are natural targets for legal action by rights-holders and consequently for very public 'takedowns.' This has been the fate of Napster and The Pirate Bay with other similar sites like Isohunt likewise engaged in a continual struggle with such parties over the rather tenuous legality of their operations.
The majority of participants in P2P networks are content to share and download torrents originally created by others. However for those interested in creating new torrents, the site Lifehacker also has a number of straightforward guides (Ho 2010).
One relatively new development in the area of 'torrenting' is that of what some authors refer to as BitTorrent 'darknets.' Zhang et al.'s paper (2010) examined these communities, noting that they limit membership, often by requiring a would-be member to upload new files before extending an invitation. In many cases, total membership is limited: New members can only join when old ones are kicked off. Total uploading and downloading are also often tracked, with members of the darknet banned if they download much more than they upload or if they do not regularly contribute new content, sometimes referred to as 'ratio incentive.' The appeal of these communities is enhanced by the actions of the administrators, who may remove low-quality or low-popularity torrents. This 'curation' service gives added value to the darknet. Aside from contributing this introduction, much of the remainder of Zhang et al.'s paper consists of proposed methodologies and metrics for estimating the size and level of activity of the torrent darknet 'ecosystem' (Zhang et al. 2010).
For the purposes of this review, we shall here conclude our discussion of the means of file sharing with the modern torrent client-and-extension format. However, it is worth mentioning that there also exist other, older, non-Internet technologies that can facilitate anonymous file sharing, most notably Usenet and Tor ("The Onion Router"). These technologies not only anonymize file sharing activity but conceal it from Internet service providers (ISPs), who can otherwise detect torrenting activity and have been known to attenuate an offending user's bandwidth accordingly. By definition and design, it is very difficult to know how much piracy goes on via Usenet or Tor, in textbooks or in anything else. But anecdotally, this user found it possible to locate freely available downloads of several current academic texts on these networks.
Removing or circumventing DRM from electronic texts, regardless of their format, is not difficult. In the case of texts scanned from hard copies, it is a complete non-issue. But even for commercially produced 'born digital' electronic textbooks, evasion of software-based anti-piracy regimes is easy and the more common a textbook's format, the easier it is. This is particularly true when it comes to the 'big three' commercial e-book formats: Kindle, ePub and Adobe PDF. The usual mechanism by which such software operates is to restrict use of an e-book to a small number of devices (perhaps even just one).
Innumerable online guides exist to describe how this software might be defeated, usually using independently produced anti-DRM software available for free download. To give just one example, the technology and lifestyle blog Lifehacker has two excellent how-to entries on defeating ebook DRM (Ravenscraft 2014; Klosowski 2012). In these and other blogs and papers, a fig leaf of legality or at least ethicality is placed over the discussion by claiming the techniques and tools described are intended only to allow for easier use of content one has already legally purchased (although such reverse-engineering is itself often proscribed by end-user agreements). There is a usually a winking mention that, however easy it might be to apply this technology to pirated content, the authors cannot condone such a use case.
From an economist's point of view the textbook market is at risk for rent-seeking: Although students have some options in terms of vendor (i.e. they can buy from a campus book store, from other book stores, or they can buy online), they are generally constrained to purchase one highly specific item, produced in limited quantities by specialized vendors. That item generally has a limited shelf life before being replaced by a newer version, which causes a severe drop-off in the price of the previous edition2. Certainly the trend in the price of university-level textbooks over the years 1978 to 2012 bears that out, rising 812% in that period, over three times the rate of core inflation (Perry 2012).
Alternatives to this pricing schema--and to the side-effect of online piracy described in this review--have been in development in response to this phenomenon. Educators and nonprofit organizations have pioneered various types of 'open' educational resources (OER), available for free as an alternative to traditional college textbooks. These efforts are often conceived-of as a means of supporting education in poorer, developing nations. But there is little reason why the resources thus developed could not be used by students in richer nations as well.
Beyond the creation and curation of de novo educational material however, some OER projects specifically correlate their own content to that of traditional textbooks written and sold for profit. As one article describes the practice,
"So if you've been assigned to read Chapter 4 ("Principles of Supply and Demand") of [economist] N. Gregory Mankiw's [textbook Principles of Economics (price USD $293.00)], you can simply head to Boundless and get free content that covers that same ideas and concepts, optimized for your tablet or e-reader. For students stocking up on textbooks for their spring 2013 classes, that sounds pretty appealing." (Carey 2012).
The web site Boundless (a start-up rather than a nonprofit itself) engaged most explicitly in this tactic, with some observers even saying their resources amounted to publishing the "Boundless version" of given commercial textbooks. Certainly the textbook publishing industry saw it that way when it sued Boundless in late 2012 (Carey), alleging copyright infringement. That lawsuit was eventually disposed-of in a confidential settlement whose terms are unclear, except insofar as Boundless remains in operation, paid a relatively nominal monetary sum to the plaintiffs, and no longer seems to directly refer to the content of commercial textbooks (viz. no longer offers 'aligned' content) (Boundless 2016; Feldstein 2014).
As noted above, there seems to be no form of licensed or monetized digital content that will not eventually be pirated online. As recently as 2005 or 2006, it seemed that movies, music, and games represented the limit of pirate-able content, but the advent of e-books as a viable format since that time has proven that wrong. As of the time of this writing, there is much discussion about a new piratical venture, Scihub, a resource built by Kazakh graduate student Alexandra Elbakyan (Oxenham 2016). By use of passwords given to her illicitly by academic researchers at larger, better-funded institutions than her own, Elbakyan batch-downloaded a huge corpus of scientific journal articles. Swiftly targeted for legal action by major scientific publishers, Scihub was re-hosted to the remote British Indian Ocean Territory and remains freely accessible at the time of this writing (Scihub 2016).
The specific landscape of the scientific journal world is beyond the scope of this paper (and may indeed be quite familiar to many readers already). It is merely worth noting that this specific act of piracy both targets a heretofore un-exploited type of content (scientific journal articles) and that it represents something of a technological throwback in its implementation: Scihub does not use any form of P2P protocol but rather is the product of one individual armed with many freely contributed authentication profiles and passwords and a single online repository, which has so far escaped adjudication more through geography rather than technology. That content publishers have not been able to stem even this rather old-fashioned act of digital theft merely reinforces that there are few meaningful legal or technical safeguards which pirates cannot overcome.
As stated before, legal and technical campaigns against content piracy have generally failed to keep pace with piratical activity. It is simply too easy and too rewarding for its practitioners to be suppressed for long. To the extent that content creators (not necessarily the same as publishers or other 'business' interests) have had any success in protecting their livelihoods against the threat of online piracy, it has primarily been through adoption of new models for compensation such as crowdfunding by which funds are raised 'up front,' usually prior to completion or even initiation of a particular work, or even 'pay-what-you-want' models in which aficionados of a particular artist, writer, or other creator are invited to pay what they feel is justified for a particular work.
More conventionally, some observers have also pointed to the advent of large-scale Internet content 'shops' wherein consumers can easily, seamlessly, securely purchase digital content as a factor militating against piracy. By lowering the barriers (not least of which being price) to legal purchase of electronic content like music, e-books, movies, and television programs, portals such as iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon make piracy less attractive. So long as content vendors continued to try to tightly shackle the uses of media, following the dictates of Vaidyanathan's Celestial Jukebox idea--and to require would-be buyers to go through the hassle of digging out their credit card and entering their number for every single purchase--then piracy would be a very attractive alternative indeed. It is only by dropping such barriers to access that content vendors have had any success against online piracy.
Textbooks however exist at a specific nexus of cultural, economic, and ethical imperatives that make it likely they will continue to be pirated for some time to come. Attendance at universities and colleges now comes with a hefty price tag and many students may reason that, having paid thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars to get an education, that they are entitled to get something for free (Nestel and Walsh 2014). On that count, obtaining a pirated textbook amounts to no small savings for a student: In the West, a book for a basic college course can often run USD$100 to $300, even secondhand, compared to which the alternative of 'free' is quite stark. While many aficionados of particular artists, writers, or musicians might be persuaded by an ethical appeal to support the creation of content they like, it is difficult to imagine many students being similarly moved to economically support the creation of academic textbooks, which they are otherwise obligated to both purchase and read. That college textbooks are generally the product of large, moneyed corporations lends support to their sense that textbook piracy is a victimless crime or perhaps even an act of righteous revenge.
1 "Pirated," "piracy" and "pirating" for the purposes of this article are terms of art covering a variety of copyright- and/or license-violating practices and technologies. They should be understood herein to encompass both the more-familiar, large-scale forms of peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing, dark nets, non-Internet online protocols like Usenet or Tor and the like but also simpler forms of digital copying and sharing, such as a student 'manually' scanning a book and then sharing it with a few friends or classmates using e-mail, cloud storage, or physical media like a USB drive.
2 The price, but not necessarily the value. Many have noted that adjacent-year editions of a textbook are rarely substantively different: 2016's edition of Young's Physics is essentially identical to 2015's edition in terms of the scientific information it contains. More commonly, new editions simply replace practice problems and adjust page numbering so as to render it more difficult for students to buy and use the cheaper, prior-year edition rather than the more expensive current-year one. University instructors could probably save their students a great deal of money if they simply used an edition three or four years old, with little risk of the students missing out on new information.

Front, Back, Detail
38 x 48-1/2 inches
Pieced by Judy Hopkins
Machine quilted by Judy Hopkins
Binding finished by Blythe Campbell
Label: No
Sleeve: Yes
This quilt was intended for Judy's last book – she worked so hard to get it finished before she died but ran out of time. Judy's notes said "Plaids and stripes made in (Roberta) Horton class years ago." The working name for the quilt was "Angle & Square." Blythe found it in the Juneau house with the binding half finished and a needle in the binding. It was a bittersweet moment, picking up the needle that Judy had last held. More than a few tears were shed finishing the binding.
Quilt was started 9/18/1989 and finished 4/20/2013.

I just love the design of this quilt and was very touched by your experience in finding this quilt. I have so many items my Mama made. Just touching them makes me feel close to her.
Sandie Thompson YuenglingMay 4, 2019
I was in this class with Judy! Roberta Horton's class with Plaids and Stripes took my quilting to a whole new level. Judy never referred to her unfinished projects as UFO's – she preferred "works in progress" 😉

Double oriental lilies are exquisite, delicate double forms of the standard Oriental lilies. They have large flowers with double or triple the usual amount of petals, and are slightly less fragrant than the standard Oriental lilies. They generally have no stamens, so there is no pollen dropping from the flowers. They flower around 100 days after planting and grow to 80 cm in height.

This pecan pumpkin butter is great spread on fruit, toast, mixed into oatmeal or spread over pancakes
Pecan Pumpkin Butter
I love pecans!
I eat them from the bag, make them into crusts for pies, and love pecan butter. The other day I had extra pumpkin puree leftover and I made a delicious pecan pumpkin butter spread for my husband to use on his toast. Now he adds this pecan pumpkin butter to pancakes and mixes it with his morning oatmeal.
When I create recipes, I never really know if they are going to taste great, but I have to say if you like pecans and pumpkin, this recipe is a winner!
Yesterday, I sliced a few pears and spread the pecan pumpkin butter on each slice, it was a delicious afternoon snack.
This morning I made some hot quinoa for breakfast, added in some of the pecan pumpkin butter along with a tablespoon of apple butter, topped it with more pecans and had a delicious breakfast that kept me full and satisfied for hours.
This past weekend I made my favourite banana almond pancakes and topped them with the rest of the pecan pumpkin butter, they were so yummy!
Here is the recipe
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 4 large medjool dates
- pinch salt
- Grind nuts in a high speed blender or vitamix until fine
- Add in remaining ingredients and puree until smooth
- Store in a glass jar in the fridge
Fluffy Gluten Free Almond Pancakes
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 of a ripe banana
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond, coconut or cashew milk
- extra coconut oil for cooking pancakes
- In a food processor mix banana, coconut oil and almond milk
- Add in almond flour, potato starch, and baking powder
- Melt a little oil in a non stick frying pan and pour enough to make pancakes
- Flip when you see bubble appear, cook on both side until brown.
- Top with pecan pumpkin butter and pure maple syrup
