National Blog Posting Month
|
Remember National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) back in November? You all used the opportunity to take a swing at churning out a 50,000-word novel on your blogs in only one month — some with great success!
There’s also NaBloPoMo, which has nothing to do with post-modernism, but with blogging! It stands for National Blog Posting Month.
It’s an even more fitting occasion for posting regularly to your blog on the topics that interest you. And maybe the best part is that it starts whenever you want it to! The only objective is to post every day for a month. So why not begin with July? To make it official, sign up here. It’s open to anyone with a blog, anywhere in the world.
The NaBloPoMo team provides a theme for each month, which isn’t mandatory, but is a nice way to gain inspiration that can kick off your daily updates.
Not into that? Then we suggest sticking to the stuff you’ve been blogging about all along — the things you experience and love — with the added caveat of keeping it on the regular.
If you run out of steam, you can always find ways to blog about the dozens of weird celebrations and holidays that take place in July, in addition to Independence Day in the U.S. — like Ice Cream Soda Day, Video Games Day, or Bugs Bunny’s Birthday.
To plug the WordPress community into your endeavor, we suggest using NaBloPoMo09 as a tag on each post you publish to your blog. They’ll show up on the tag results page, which is also a great place to get inspired by your fellow bloggers.
A note: Please refrain from commenting with questions about NaBloPoMo in response to this post. It’s not a WordPress project. Instead, check out their FAQ to learn more about its objectives and requirements.
Happy (daily) blogging!

Recomandari de Bucuresti
|
Se intampla lucruri frumoase in Bucuresti zilele astea. Am participat deja la o parte din evenimente, cu celelalte mai greu, insa vroiam sa va fac niste recomandari.
In primul rand sunt Erste Foundation Prizes for Social Change, insotite de conferinta “The Future of Social Change. 1989-2009: Visions and Perspectives after 20 Years of Transition”. Activisti ONG, oameni de afaceri, antreprenori, jurnalisti si alti “change-makers” regionali se intalnesc timp de cateva zile in Bucuresti (24-26 iunie) si pun la cale viitorul socio-economic al regiunii noastre. Am fost ieri la conferinta de deschidere, ratand din pacate primul speech - al domnului Traian Basescu - caci m-ar fi interesat aici reactiile diferite ale publicului - ale romanilor versus ale celorlalti invitati straini. Insa am reusit sa urmaresc un panel cu un titlu provocator: “20 Years of Freedom: Who Is ‘In’ and Who is ‘Out’”? Mi-a placut mult felul in care a moderat discutia Boris Marte, Membru al Board-ului Fundatiei Erste (o institutie de-a dreptul impresionanta, de care din pacate auzisem prea putin pana acum), si mi-a placut mult interventia profesorului Claus Offe de la Hertie School of Governance, care a evidentiat ceea ce eu cred de mult - nevoia de a intari statul si de avea un stat puternic drept piatra de temelie pentru asigurarea tuturor celorlalte privilegii si libertati. O alta idee interesanta a fost cum am putea sa inlocuim dependenta sterila de partide politice prin foruri deliberative alternative. Cel mai mult mi-a placut insa raspunsul lui Offe la intrebarea referitoare la felul in care efectuam tranzitia morala si schimbam valori - anume amintind oamenilor des ceea ce ar trebui sa fie “in their face”: universalismul, responsabilitatea individuala, interdependenta sociala. A dat drept exemplu o masura miraculoasa a primarului orasului Bogota, care a impanzit un cartier cu o rata de criminalitate ridicata cu postere gigantice cu mesajul “La vida es sacrada”. Si a functionat.
Apoi zilele acestea vin, pe partea de entertainment, Maratonul Future Shorts si Noaptea Institutelor Culturale. Le ratez pe amandoua, caci plec din Bucuresti, dar vi le recomand cu multa caldura.
Iar azi, din motive obiective, ratez Green Biz Forum, de care am aflat (cam prea tarziu, din pacate) de pe blog-ul lui Dragos Dehelean - discutii despre CSR verde si green business-uri, cu cateva din cele mai noi si promitatoare nume din domeniu. Sper sa citesc pe bloguri sau pe site-ul evenimentului cam despre ce a fost vorba.
Asadar, food for the brain and soul. Enjoy!

Istoria Degetului Mijociu
|
In ziua de azi este ceva jignitor sa arati cuiva degetul mijlociu. Dar acum sute de ani gestul avea alta semnificatie. Inaintea bataliei de la Agincourt din 1415, francezii, anticipand victoria lor asupra Angliei, au decis sa le taie degetul mijlociu tuturor soldatilor luati prizonieri. Asta pentru ca fara degetul mijlociu le va fi imposibil sa mai traga cu arcul si astfel sa mai ia parte la vreo lupta pe viitor. Insa francezii au pierdut acea batalie iar soldatii englezi ii batjocoreau aratandu-le degetul mijlociu, pe care acestia intentionasera sa li-l taie.

Aspen Young Leaders in Delta
|
Sunt din nou la Aspen Young Leaders. De data aceasta in delta, la Mila 35, la un nou retreat, mult mai putin centrat pe lumea din jurul nostru de aceasta data, cat pe noi insine. Ii avem ca traineri pe Marian Stas si Andy Szekely, care ne ghideaza pas cu pas prin diferite instrumente legate de leadership si mai ales prin instrumente care ne ajuta sa ne descoperim pe noi insine, cu puncte bune si mai ales cu vulnerabilitati grele si care pot fi depasite numai prin multa, multa munca. LSI (lifestyles inventory), GSI (group styles inventory), NLP (neurolinguistic programming), TA (transactional analysis), leadership transformational, si multe altele.Am facut un test fantastic care povesteste lucruri despre stilurile mele de comportante. Lifestyles Inventory de la Human Synergistics. Nu am aflat secrete prea mari, desi au fost cateva lucruri despre mine pe care nu le-as fi intuit (cum ar fi, bunaoara, tendinta spre evitare). Insa ceea ce am aflat (in esenta ca sunt prea putin constructiva, ci prea mult ofensiv-agresiva, adica perfectionista si competitiva) planuiesc sa corectez si sa imbunatatesc.Per total, Aspen este o descoperire de sine care e imposibil sa te lase rece. Sunt lucruri care iti explica trecutul, care iti arata cum esti in prezent si, cel mai important, te fac sa iti pui intrebari grave si complexe despre viitorul tau. Si e important sa iti pese.

SocialVibe
|
You spend a lot of time creating great content and attracting an audience for your blog. What if you could use that influence to make a positive social impact? Now you can.
We’ve teamed up with SocialVibe, and now by adding the SocialVibe widget to your blog, you are able to earn donations for the charity of your choice by getting sponsored by a brand that appeals to you.
Each time someone visits your blog and engages with your brand (by rating a video, for example), you’re making a difference. That impact is immediately visible on your badge, i..e., ‘My blog has provided 63 cups of clean water for people in need.’
The money donated comes from your brand, so you and your readers never have to pay a dime.
In addition to earning donations, you’ll also get feedback from your charity about the difference they’re making thanks to you. By clicking the charity logo in the badge, you can find information about your cause and view real-time goal progress.
Setup is easy and only takes a few clicks – just go to Appearance->Widgets in your dashboard, add the SocialVibe widget and pick a cause and a charity. For more details you can find documentation in our support area. If you change your mind about your sponsor or cause, you can easily make adjustments by visiting your widget dashboard.
If you are running a self-hosted WordPress blog, be sure to grab the SocialVibe plugin.
With SocialVibe, our community can pool our individual influences to create positive change in the world.

Filme si liceeni. Un cocktail fascinant.
|
Imi place la nebunie cum evolueaza proiectul Cluburile de Film One World. Sunt recunoscatoare spiritelor ca mi-au dat-o pe Alina care il administreaza cu un zel, rigoare si atentie la detalii cum mie personal rar mi-a fost dat sa vad.Multumesc inca o data, Alina!Rolul meu in proiect este de coach si facilitator. De bagator de coada acolo unde cozii ii sade mai bine.E un proiect personal la care tin mult, pe care l-am initiat in urma cu mai bine de un an si care merge frumos. E genul de proiect care e suficient sa aiba un impuls si apoi stie sa mearga sigur.Duminica am avut un atelier de lucru cu toti coordonatorii cluburilor de film, din tara si din Bucuresti. Am discutat cu cei care au avut curajul sa organizeze deja, cu eforturi proprii, convingandu-si colegii, profesorii, prietenii si directorii sa ii sprijine si sa le fie alaturi, primele proiectii de film. Si am discutat si cu cei care inca planuiesc acest moment.Am cautat sa aflam cum le-am putea fi mai mult de folos, cum i-am putea instrui si cum i-am putea ajuta sa isi inspire si mai mult, prin puterea propriului exemplu, colegii de generatie. Sunt cu totii tineri fantastici, care au inca nevoie de incurajari si batai pe spate, ca de altfel noi toti.Apoi ne-am uitat la un film pe care eu personal il gasesc de fiecare data tulburator. Trezeste in mine sentimente succesive de optimism si neputinta, de speranta si reflectie, de admiratie. Am mai scris despre acest film si acum ma bucur sa il descopar disponibil pe Youtube in intregime, pentru oricine doreste sa il vada.Este vorba despre “Bridge over the Wadi”, un film care vorbeste despre temerara incercare de a organiza scoli primare mixte, arabo-israeliene, in teritoriile ocupate din Palestina. Si care vorbeste despre conflicte si istorie, despre solutii, despre comunicare. Vi-l recomand neaparat, pentru ca este un dialog despre oricare dintre noi, despre culturile si identitatile noastre, existente indiferent de situatie.Asadar, continuam cu acest proiect cu entuziasm!

Yahoo! App and 360 Importer
|
We’ve got two Yahoo! related news items today.
The first is that we’ve launched a Yahoo! 360 importer (listed in your admin screens under Tools → Import) to make migration from 360 to WordPress.com super easy. Just upload the Yahoo! 360 export ZIP file, and we’ll do the rest. Yahoo! will be shutting down their 360 service soon, so if you have any friends over there feel free to give them a little help and encouragement to head over to WordPress.com
Second is the release of our WordPress.com QuickPress Yahoo! Application. You can post posts and read and moderate your most recent comments straight from My Yahoo!. (Note to any self-hosted WordPress.org folks out there: the app currently only works on WordPress.com. We’re working on making it .com/.org universal.)
Thanks to Yahoo! for their help with their Yahoo! Application Platform, and thanks to all of you for the best blogs on the intertubes.
If you need help with either of these new toys (or anything else), please contact our support team.

Cine nu vrea societatea civila?
|
Mult prea multe programe de finantare nu finanteaza salarii pentru cei care aplica. De ce? E simplu, care guvern ar vrea sa aiba in coasta un ghimpe pe care el il finanteaza?! Asa ca, noi ne prefacem ca va finantam si va sustinem, ca sa fim siguri ca voi, veti "dezerta" din acest sector intr-o zi, in sectorul profit unde prioritatile voastre se vor schimba.

Another Letter from USA President Barack Obama (To:Simonette Brebenariu)
|
My Supreme Court nominee Wednesday, May 27, 2009 1:19 AM From: "President Barack Obama" <info@barackobama.com> Add sender to Contacts To: "Simonette Brebenariu" <sburnt2001@yahoo.com> | Simonette --
I am proud to announce my nominee for the next Justice of the United States Supreme Court: Judge Sonia Sotomayor. This decision affects us all -- and so it must involve us all. I've recorded a special message to personally introduce Judge Sotomayor and explain why I'm so confident she will make an excellent Justice. Please watch the video, and then pass this note on to friends and family to include them in this historic moment. Introducing Judge Sotomayor (Watch and Share the Video at http://my.barackobama.com/page/m2/55c13fdb/6c6a9dff/2babebfd/11884eb3/2279173639/VesE/ Judge Sotomayor has lived the America Dream. Born and raised in a South Bronx housing project, she distinguished herself in academia and then as a hard-charging New York District Attorney. Judge Sotomayor has gone on to earn bipartisan acclaim as one of America's finest legal minds. As a Supreme Court Justice, she would bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any Justice in 100 years. Judge Sotomayor would show fidelity to our Constitution and draw on a common-sense understanding of how the law affects our day-to-day lives. A nomination for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land is one of the most important decisions a President can make. And the discussions that follow will be among the most important we have as a nation. You can begin the conversation today by watching this special message and then passing it on: http://my.barackobama.com/SupremeCourt
Thank you,
President Barack Obama |

Prima proiectie One World Film Clubs: “Decreteii”, de Florin Iepan
|

Cluburile de Film One World, un proiect al Asociatiei ORICUM care se adreseaza liceenilor face pasi mici, dar siguri catre impanzirea liceelor din Romania cu filme documentare de calitate, cu tematici variind de la drepturilor copilului, la conflict resolution, refugiati si comert international.
Primul film, proiectat deja in 2 licee din Bucuresti - Cosbuc si Lazar - si cat de curand in alte 6 din tara, a fost “Decreteii”, de Florin Iepan. La proiectia din Cosbuc au fost cateva zeci de elevi, care au apreciat filmul si au discutat cu invitatii speciali Stela Serghiuta, de la Fondul ONU pentru Populatie si Andreea Rosca de la Federatia Asociatiilor Studentilor in Medicina din Romania.
Proiectul are deocamdata un blog si cat de curand va avea si o frumusete de site
Va recomand din toata inima “Decreteii”. Puteti gasi fragmente pe Youtube. Este un film care vorbeste despre o epoca pe care multi am uitat-o prea repede, care vorbeste despre drepturile femeii, despre controlul populatiei, despre intimitate si in general despre un fenomen demografic si social national socant, provocat de celebrul Decret din 66 de interzicere a avorturilor in Romania.
Stay tuned for more One World Film Clubs in Romania!
