Confessions of a Publisher: “We’re in Amazon’s Sights and They’re Going to Kill Us” | PandoDaily

by karlcow

Long-term there’s no future in printed books. They’ll be like vinyl: pricey and for collectors only. 95% of people will read digitally. Everybody in publishing knows this but most are in denial about it because moving to becoming a digital company means laying off like 40% of our staffs. And the barriers to entry fall, too. We simply don’t want to think about it.

And it's a second bad idea for them to publish how they did it so others can copy it," believes Dr. Thomas Inglesby, a bioterrorism expert and director of the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Observing this gives me all the more sympathy for bodies like the W3C et al who kill themselves trying to define standards for things that to many people are still profoundly arcane abstractions (but as we see, are very real, very affective.)

Baby Sleeping Problems and Its Solutions

by personmark
Baby sleeping problems are common during the first few moths after delivery as they are easily startled and have short sleep cycles – from light sleep to deep sleep and then back to light sleep again – which usually takes 50 to 60 minutes, therefore your baby normally wakes up every after an hour or even less. This is actually not a problem; rather, this is normal. However, baby sleeping problems may indicate a physical problem, which may prompt you to visit your pediatrician for a consultation. The Real Problems and the Solutions The inability of your baby to sleep well at night may be because of the environment –the noise, the smell, as well as the ambience matters! Babies are very sensitive beings. They may be unable to see or may be able to but not as clear as that of the adults, thereby allowing their other senses to work more keenly. If the environment does not have very good ventilation or does have a bad smell, the baby may not be able to sleep well, even adults for that matter! Also, if the surrounding is noisy, how will you be able to sleep, right? A very good environment conducive for sleeping must therefore be provided. Babies who are soaked wet with their diapers on are not able to sleep well. It is therefore right to check their diapers if it is full, making the babies feel uncomfortable. It is important to change them immediately in order not to disturb or cut short their sleep. There are also instances when babies get to feel too cold or too warm, making babies wake up in the middle of the night. The best thing to do is to provide warmth when she is cold, and to provide good ventilation if she feels warm. Simply put, just be there beside your baby during her sleep and make her feel comfortable all throughout the night. And more often than not, the reason why babies get to be awaken in the middle of the night is hunger. They have little tummies to fill their little amount of milk and food into, thereby making them feel hungry more often than adults. It is for this reason that feeding of the babies must be done every after 2 hours. Furthermore, babies may feel pain that is why they cannot sleep well during the night. If all of the above problems have been checked and nothing seems to satisfy the baby, maybe she is in pain. This should prompt you to visit your medical practitioner for consultation. Middle of the Night Awakening – A Survival Instinct of the Babies! There is also a good side on why babies awaken in the middle of the night. Since babies cannot communicate their needs yet, it is through waking up in the middle of the night and crying that they are able to deliver to you their message that they are either hungry, already soaked wet or feeling cold or warm. If they are not able to wake up in the middle of the night and not trouble you, how else would you know that they are hungry or that they needed something, right? Baby sleeping problems may not be problems at all but a message that your baby wanted you to receive. It is for this reason that you must rather be more thankful that your baby is trying to wake you up in the middle of the night than not at all! Your baby wanted to survive, so help her survive, not just through the night but through her entire life.

Could this new book kill the Kindle? | Books | The Guardian

by karlcow, 1 comment

If you've ever whined about how the Kindle, compact though it may be, doesn't have the look or feel of a nice printed novel – put this in your pipe and read it: the newly invented "flipback" book. Released in Britain this summer, it is being touted as the, er, new Kindle: the tome that's smaller and lighter than an e-reader, but made out of pages, not bytes.

by oseres (via)
Content Aggregation (which is just a fancy term for the automated gathering of links and content from the web) can be viewed on sites like Google News and several other news kind of websites. Generally, this kind of aggregation may be seen being a good thing for content creators and content publishers and uptill recently, it was upto the technology to do this – meaning – automated scripts or bots – that could help fill up content from different sources. The part of content creation was and has generally been a very human effort.

Kendo and Kata – its relationship with Humanity and Buddhism

by Takwann
"Even if your foe is greatly evil, don't draw your sword, or let your foe draw theirs. Don't cut and don't be cut. Don't kill, and don't be killed. Help them transform into a good person. If they still won't comply, then send them to the next world."
