Author Using Kickstarter To Offer His Book To The Public Domain, And Help Other Creators To Do The Same


Recently drew my attention to an interesting project and organization seeking more news public domain works. Was launched by Aaron Pogue, who self-published a few books last year, sold more than 100,000 copies, and it allows you not only to leave their jobs, but to start a organization to help content creators are paid to put their works into the public domain

. The goal is to use other systems like Kickstarter to allow fans to support the organization, called

Consortium

Pogue
a kick out of this with an attempt to raise $ 30,000 for the third book of the trilogy. If we reach this goal, will publish the book in the public domain, allowing anyone to do what you want. Make a movie out of it? Go ahead. Is a fan edit it? No problem. Anything you want, once you are in the public domain.

However, it is unclear whether they will make the goal, even if it is an interesting project. I wonder why it has not grown much and I have two theories: first, the production quality of the video with the Kickstarter project is not large. I know it is not always easy, but for whatever reason, projects with a higher quality production seem to do better on Kickstarter. The other thing is that I wonder how many buyers Pogue the first two books of the trilogy not even know about this offer. In fact, I wonder if this is one of the limitations of relying on a platform like Amazon - and that can put a wall between an author and his supporters.



Anyway, I am very interested in this type of project. And it's great to see people like Pogue there - a successful artist - not only explains that copyright is not the "only" way to make money as an artist but certainly not the best way to earn money. And then take that further and help other artists make money without relying on the crutch of copyright, is a great thing to see if this Kickstarter campaign was particularly successful. At the same time, however, if you want to show some support for this type of project, visit the Kickstarter campaign and see if you think it is worth supporting.

Fiona Apple To Label: Back Off, I'm Connecting With My Fans

We wrote about the intricacies of the singer Fiona Apple and her label, Epic Records (an imprint of Sony) for years. In 2005, Epic refused to release his album, because "I have not heard a shot." Instead, the album leak and began to get radio play, which has fans excited, and end , Epic was forced to release him. The New York Times recently had an article on his latest album, which was actually done over a year, but has "held" by jerks on the label. However, this may be the most interesting is a section that talks about his recent appearance at SXSW, where its management basically said that Epic is going to stay the hell out of the road and
not do something
aa: "crazy" was the devotion of fans of Ms. Apple. Before she appeared on the south by the manager of the Southwest, Andy Slater, said he told her to Epic Records, "I want to do something," he said, "Do not make the slightest sign. Do not make any letter. Not a single set. Just do not say anything. Play the show. summer a few years. Let the kids go to the fair, the movie thing, since in their blogs, and you have nothing to do. "Almost immediately after their fans were put video clips on YouTube. There are some interesting things here. First, we have always said that musicians need the brands for "marketing". However, here is an artist in particular the recognition that as a marketing label can not really do things

worst not better. Moreover, it (or its management, in this case) is clearly recognized that the way to really "market" these days is to connect with the fans and then

their trust

- not to treat them as criminals. Note that nobody wanted the label to release a video or music on YouTube. However, all were happy with and that should
fans filmed the program and put it on YouTube. YouTube The same is even sued for billions of dollars to allow people to do. The same YouTube people say that we must be
more proactive in preventing fans do exactly what he did and that's exactly what Apple seems to have wanted to do.

Why Nicklas Bendtner is just an ordinary guy in the Premier League | Amy Lawrence

be interesting to see if the recent setbacks of the Dane in Sunderland is to draw attention to his game needs

What was enlightening to read recent

Nicklas Bendtner apologizes for his litany of crimes. A player who was literally caught with his pants down in the past was forced to repent in an open letter to a Danish newspaper on a variety of incidents where he has brought forth the type of person to audition for a new game called show: I'm a celebrity, everyone in a five mile radius would be on here

The magic of his apology was in his tone, so that looks like a naughty child who was forced to apologize for something in front of his friends, gaining the ability to upload your confession with sarcasm much as he can get away with it. Bendtner is a pity that limit his role in writing. A video message would have been perfect if it is only to see his expression when he speaks of "English police polite and friendly as the CCTV footage allegedly shows the process of damage to parked cars, after a wet night in the city. "Imagine that he delivered in a trembling voice. Puppy-dog eyes. This desperate sadness.

Reflections in your swing when your credit card was rejected in a pizzeria in Copenhagen were also worth a visit. "I bet you all know the feeling," he wrote contrite striker, who had, moreover, was encouraged enough by the end of his letter to be signed with a metaphorical wink full of joy festivals. "See - on the field Sincerely -. Nicklas."

Fortunately, even though they may know the feeling, all players in the Premier League is not there to support the kind of terrible misfortunes that come to Bendtner are not usually find these moments dramatized in newspapers or subjected to forensic examination through the Internet.

It is, in essence, was the defense of Bendtner, and something that promises to correct to avoid extracurricular distractions to focus entirely on football. Your message has been reduced to an admission that it is a normal guy with an extraordinary job. Not bad. And that's exactly the point of his manager, Martin O'Neill, is often very effective in the house battery to their players. This is an extraordinary work, so you must behave in an extraordinary way.

be interesting to see if this episode is the wakeup call Bendtner needs. O'Neill is ready to put in the time and effort to help correct the Dane? The player is sincere enough to restore confidence to reform his character? If he can really learn to work with commitment and a lot more than what has been the case, it has a better chance of being the player who has always dreamed to be (actually is the site of the Arsenal Arseblog, always refer to it by the acronym TGSTEL -. the greatest striker who ever lived)

Darren Bent was the one who ignores the distinction between players and the rest while chewing a few last minute gifts for Christmas, as his teammates worked in their defeat against Liverpool.

To be fair, most players admit they like to watch from the stands when they are absent. And yes, probably should have been beside the point, even if an observer is not very good, but perhaps the biggest problem is that this episode reveals about Villa sense at a time if a player feels that the game is before the final whistle. Bent would probably have delayed their purchases and stood in front of your TV if he felt his teammates were able to make their way back into the game.

Dmitri Mendeleev's business card and Ernest Rutherford's potato masher | Brady Haran

disarms mundane objects in the archives of the Royal Society to remember the human side of respected scientists of the past

Dmitri Mendeleev status almost as a god in the pantheon of science. Many people probably imagine the creator of the first version of the periodic table as a bearded genius bent over papers and textbooks.

In his native Russia, the legend is if anything even greater. It is the periodic table is widely known as "periodic table" and her image was immortalized in everything from stamps to statues.

Mendeleev's no doubt on the scientific aspects of the A list, despite being rejected by the famous Nobel committee in 1900. But like all great figures of history, we sometimes get to see beyond the legend. We hear a story or a vision of an object that betrays a comfortable level of normality.

For Mendeleev, such a thing exists in the archives of the Royal Society in London. It is contained in this envelope, decorated addressed to "Professor Thorpe" in the London offices of the company. The issue joined Russia in 1901.

The envelope was mailed to Thorpe by Mendeleev himself. In two parts so mundane that could deflate even more starstruck chemicals:. Two cards

seems the same man who "invented" the periodic table are presented with a map.

card is in perfect condition, the chemical name written in the traditional "Mendeleev". He is identified as a retired professor from the University of St. Petersburg, and includes an address.

The card is elegant, as befits a renowned scientist in the twilight of his career.

We made a short film about it for our periodic table of the video series. Professor Martyn Poliakoff, a Russian-born British chemist, was clearly excited by it. "I think it's fantastic," he says. "This is the closest we can come to Mendeleev."

Professor Poliakoff also had evidence of interaction between scientists of the age -. A tangible sign of international collaboration between researchers, long before e-mail and teleconferencing

Rooney writes to Uefa in bid to limit ban


. UEFA can increase three-match ban

. Rooney disciplinary plan to improve

Wayne Rooney is to defend his case to UEFA in writing as part of the argument of the Football Association of England striker should not have his automatic one-game ban for violent conduct issued by control of the governing body and the discipline committee.

Aa UEFA's disciplinary department will meet Thursday and discuss the absence of Rooney's petulant defense of Montenegro Miodrag Dzudovic during the 2-2 draw in Podgorica on Friday. The striker was denied by the German official Wolfgang Stark, with 17 minutes of qualifying and the rest will miss the first game of his country in the finals in Ukraine and Poland next summer.

The Control and Disciplinary Body has the authority to increase the three-game suspension, or impose a fine or a warning, and consider the report of Stark, before making a decision. The foregoing prohibition seems to be given to the Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin after he was dismissed for violent conduct six minutes left in the final ranking of Russia against Andorra before Euro 2008. Russia football includes a video of the physical treatment of their captain had received from opposing players in that game as part of their evidence, but Arshavin was banned, even for the first two games of the finals.
The England coach Fabio Capello should also write a letter arguing that the ban should remain in a match. However, it is feared that UEFA will take into account the fact that Rooney played a one-game suspension during the qualifying campaign for Euro 2012 after losing last summer in a draw 2 - 2 with Switzerland after collecting two reserves in Group G. This may work against him.

The FA said if the ban was extended beyond the one-game suspension of an automatic, it will appeal against the decision.


UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will consider on November 17 of the Football Association complains of racist chants by fans in Bulgaria in England 3-0 in Sofia last month, after Bulgarian FA has requested additional time to file your return.

Liverpool see investment in Carroll start to pay off


. Forward scores his first goal of the season

. Liverpool is still a new team gelling, says

Progress in the 216th Merseyside derby is also expected to announce a milestone in the career of Andy Carroll to Liverpool, to a point where the irritation

Kenny Dalglish in the investigation of their investment of 35 million pounds and concern Fabio Capello in the lifestyle of the player are replaced by a renewed emphasis on capacity. It should be, but it will not.

Capello was not the only observer at Goodison Park, whose analysis of the England striker and Liverpool's victory was related to Martin Atkinson. The official erred game so badly in its decision to dismiss a challenge for Jack Rodwell specific Luis Suarez in the 23rd minute which suspended not only the Everton midfielder, but the judgment on Merseyside rivals.

Liverpool was professional and composed in his final break of 10 men tired in a sweltering afternoon in October, Carroll and Suarez marked his debut in the machine so decisive and stressed the introduction of Steven Gerrard, Besides the influence of Craig Bellamy says Dalglish strength in depth of perfection. Beyond that, however, bragging rights that could not carry their usual weight.

Carroll was subjected to a large extent by a unit of Everton on the defensive after the departure furious Rodwell has never lost its purpose or the work ethic, just his marker, Leighton Baines , sweeping the cross, Joseph Henry to open the scoring from close range.

The 22-year goal of the season, and the particular time, may increase lean forward to a good relationship with the Kop and release some pressure, but the process of justification by faith unwavering his manager has barely begun.

Carroll said: "I spoke to Joseph and told him that I wanted to have my first season here before the game I thought," This is the day "This is by far the highlight .. of my time here with ease. meet and beat Everton in place is special, but I have to make it work. Liverpool have come to similar circumstances in the Premier League, two late goals against opponents with 10 men, and will require not only that the team gel, but tastes Carroll Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam to show more urgency and command the confidence of the front to be justified at the end of the season.

For 22 minutes, the derby was a fine point. Suarez sent a weak header straight at Tim Howard and Tim Cahill was forced to keep a fine of Pepe Reina, the game open early and fierce, but without the occasional malice in the tackle.

Rodwell challenge, or rather the interpretation of Atkinson of it, everything changed. Suarez appeared to feign injury and Lucas have reacted angrily to a foul that never happened, but had no influence on the decision of the arbitrator. The red card was instantly.
David Moyes, was beyond anger as he digested the defeat later. The Everton manager, challenged the FA and Atkinson cancel three matches ban Rodwell, without a call from Goodison, although the CEO, Robert Elstone said the club's website on Sunday: "Having considered the evidence video, we believe that the decision to go wrong and we will contact the Football Association requesting that the red card is canceled.
