 felony is terrible and divisive, Montgomery is free to cite the proposal as yet another example of Hollywood’s reluctance to innovate into the streaming market. If properly executed, this technique should distract readers from considering empirical data—for instance, the rapid expansion of legal streaming platforms for filmed entertainment. This kind of observable evidence could indicate that Hollywood may actually be innovating in the streaming market, which would potentially refute the underlying theme as Montgomery has proposed. But an effective editorial using the techniques we recommend should help readers ignore this kind of contradictory evidence.
We would also not want readers to wonder, in this case, “Who are these legitimate streaming services inadvertently infringing despite their best efforts, to whom Montgomery refers?” Instead, we want readers to imagine that there are scores of innovators who would be afraid to enter a market where infringement via streaming is a felony. AVOID EXAMPLES OR SPECIFICS. It is always better to refer to innovators and innovation generically and hypothetically. Remember that above we said vamp, meaning to extemporize. This is critical. One of the most effective ways to enhance your editorial is to follow Guideline #4.
Does the law really work that way?
Have I ever heard of a case anything like what he’s describing?
These are the types of questions you want to avoid provoking among readers, which is why that SOPA lead is so vital.  Don’t be afraid to get creative! And that brings us to Guideline #5.
Notice how Montgomery’s headline might make a reader think the author has written some kind of thoughtful compromise on copyright between the named parties. DO NOT WRITE SUCH AN EDITORIAL. Instead, as we have seen, the central argument of Montgomery’s article boils down to the following: That Hollywood is only focused on legal remedies to infringement because it has not accepted the future potential of streaming. That’s not exactly what the headline implies the article will be about, but when we combine the misleading headline with the central argument made in the article itself, we get Hollywood should stop fighting over copyright. Pretty cool, right?
Ordinarily, if Montgomery’s core argument were presented as a thesis without a SOPA lead, and without employing the techniques described above, some readers might immediately doubt his premise in light of the dramatic growth in legal platforms for streaming filmed entertainment, news, and sports. And this doubt could, in turn, prompt readers to consider whether or not huge investment in legal streaming and legal remedies for mass copyright infringement might have to coexist in a sustainable, digital marketplace. But by effectively using the techniques in this guide, you can distract the reader from these and many other complex questions.

Is it any wonder then, why we have presidential candidates that would more appropriately be found at a carnival side-show? That this generation simultaneously has access to more information yet are less informed about things in general? That people fail to see the irony in stealing from others willy-nilly then complain they can’t find a good paying job?..
Happy Holidays, David.
Thanks, AN. Happy Holidays to you, too!
This is hilarious. Nice work!
And people wonder why Wu Tang did what they did.
Q. Well then what about YouTube’s Content ID? A. It only works because we own YouTube.
Besides, we don’t want to go through what happened with SOPA, again. But congressman it’s different………….
to sell the new teck’so they just stole it.
On the theme of responsibility, I’d argue that the air we breathe isn’t free either. Thanks for your comment.
Last night, I was verbally assaulted on the subway. It didn't last long, but it was a scary moment to say the least. I could see the fear in the eyes of the passengers sitting near by.
Though flustered, I am sad to say this is not the first time this has happened, or probably the last. I see this far too often in San Francisco. But, should I accept this as part of living in a big city?
Last night, I walked home feeling enough is enough. We can be better. As a city, as a nation, as people. There are times in life where we must put our personal agenda on hold and lend a hand. Is that spirit gone from America?
With jobs being given to those who will work for less, just so we can add black ink to the balance sheet and collect our performance bonus, what does that mean? I am not ok with the number of people living in San Francisco who need help. I am not ok with the number of people lined up down the street in Berkeley before Thanksgiving, just to get a full meal provided by the local high school.
Democracy works for a collective society, not for individuals with corporate sponsored agendas. Where is the honor? Where is the civility? Where is the pride of taking care of our neighbors as brothers and sisters. We do not prosper as individuals, but as a nation. We rely on every person to move this nation further, educate our children, and take care of our elderly.
Enough is enough. We are the United States, not the states of the 98 and 2 percent. No more excuses. It is time to lend a hand, to do our part, to take ownership for our mistakes.
Incidents like last night will not be solved by a secret government agency in an ivory tower, they will be solved by us. There is no one left to blame. It is our responsibility. We can be better. We can be brave. We can say, "enough is enough".The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. The watch is in very good overall condition with minor surface wear to the band only, particularly at 9 o'clock. The case back with minor pinhead dings towards the edges. The buckle with surface wear.
I’ve traveled a little bit with Americans, some of whom took the trouble to learn a few words of their hosts’ language, and some of whom, well, didn’t. Now my personal opinion, for what it’s worth, is that it’s only fair to learn the basics. What are the basics? For me, they’re the following, divided into the essentials (things you should have memorized before you get on the plane) and desirables (the more of these you learn, the happier you’ll be). First, the essentials; no surprises here.
I think politeness never hurts. Blame my Mum. And to interact a bit, memorizing the following desirables would be a good idea, lavishly adding please/thank you/excuse me of course.
Anything more, and one graduates to actually having to learn the language: namely, understanding what people say back to you. Yeah, that’s the killer. Anyway, to help keep all this straight I threw together a little downloadable PDF cheat sheet that you can print, fold up, fill in, and carry around as an aide-mémoire. Happy traveling!
This entry was posted in Unreliable Recommendations on 16 Apr 2006 by Mike.We discovered that it’s simpler to use a scoop to pour meals when the container is filled to the brim than risking to spill food in all places. A really attention-grabbing characteristic is that the containers stack together when you purchase more than one. For the small container, we had been pleasantly stunned when it held round 18 cups of food. The medium held around 46 cups, and the big held exactly 64 cups. Each of the two chrome steel bowls holds up to two quarts of dry meals or water. Frequent visits to the shop is usually a nuisance, and your dog can wolf down your complete inventory of kibble in a matter of days. Our selfmade dog food recipes had been created by a holistic nutritionist.
And the kibble also loses nutritional value, so your dog might be getting fewer vitamins he must thrive. But there’s a solution, and a easy one at that—dog food storage containers. Next up in our collection of the most effective pet food storage containers comes one other entry from Gamma2’s Vittles Vault line. This container is large enough to store as much as 50 kilos of dry pet food. This makes it an excellent alternative when you have a number of canines at residence, otherwise you own bigger breeds that plough by way of bag after bag of meals.
What begins to occur to dog food as soon as it’s exposed to air, and why correct pet meals storage is so critical. Unless you undertake cautious pet meals storage habits, even that premium dog food could be inflicting your pet more harm than good. Although it’s all the time necessary to think about how lengthy your pet food shall be stored—here, hermetic containers can stop bulk quantities of meals from going stale too rapidly. Although containers are helpful, some of you may want retailer dog food baggage instead, somewhat than decanting them.
Basically, which means it’s secure in your pooch to make use of. It’s simple to get the food out with the small lip in the front and it’s equally as simple to refill with the bigger gap on the again. For something slightly easier, smaller and less complicated strive the Curver brand – the ideal resolution for smaller dogs who don’t undergo an enormous quantity. This works best by putting the bag in fully and not tip out the bag and then into the container.
Making the most effective buying selection isn’t easy but with the right data you
