In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. With greatest admiration and respect to the greatest woman in the Universe, Marina Orlova also known as HotForWords <img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2im5dw4.jpg"> <a href="http://www.internationalwomensday.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.internationalwomensday.com/</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day</a> On the following link there is a video at the top of the page from the news organization Russia Today, which describes women's day in Russia. Women's Day had its roots as early as 1908 with women campaigning for voting rights and in 1913 Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913 which later was moved to March 8. <a href="http://www.internationalwomensday.com/about.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.internationalwomensday.com/about.asp</a> pedanticKarl on "Geeks, Nerds, Internet, Technology, Society & Culture" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/geeks-nerds-internet-technology-society-amp-culture/page/2#post-13151 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:35:44 +0000 pedanticKarl 13151@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Feb 22, 2010 Thank you to logischabbaubar a subscriber on this website for bringing this article to my attention.

Where: HYATT REGENCY CENTURY PLAZA, LOS ANGELES When: JULY 9-11, 2010 WHAT IS VIDCON (from the VidCon website) Vid-Con is a three-day conference bringing together the brightest lights in the billion-views-a-day community known as the online video industry. Join us at the first ever gathering of the most influential and popular independent video makers online and the communities that have made them a force in the world. Online video has no analogous medium. It is an entirely new form of entertainment and it's spawning new genres and growing extremely quickly. We in online video have no interest in passive entertainment. We want to be engaged emotionally and socially. As the amount of content easily available becomes infinite, social interactions become by far the most significant way of sharing and experiencing video.

Infectious influenza (H1N1) caused millions of deaths as a pandemic in 1918, but is also the source of the current swine flu pandemic. (/ABC News)But a recent incident in China, where a town was quarantined for 10 days after three people died of a variant of bubonic plague, was just one of many reminders that these diseases have not vanished from the face of the earth. While many think of these diseases as completely eradicated -- and they occur far less frequently than they used to in the United States -- they have managed to hang on. "The microbes have hopes, dreams and aspirations just like human beings. In their case, it's to infect other people," said Dr. Howard Markel, a pediatrician and medical historian at the University of Michigan. )))))))))))echoe(((((((((((( pedanticKarl on "Geeks, Nerds, Internet, Technology, Society & Culture" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/geeks-nerds-internet-technology-society-amp-culture#post-9229 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 23:33:02 +0000 pedanticKarl 9229@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/07/more-statistics-coming-to-video-near.html">YouTube videos public statistics - July 22, 2009</a> By clicking the Statistics & Data link below each video, YouTube is now displaying statistics in graphs and other formats.

Being analytically oriented, of course I like the new information. I looked at a variety of videos and it is interesting to see the demographics for different videos and users. pedanticKarl on "Geeks, Nerds, Internet, Technology, Society & Culture" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/geeks-nerds-internet-technology-society-amp-culture#post-9169 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:05:26 +0000 pedanticKarl 9169@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Mashable posted an article about a Twitter Guide for Business.

It is a hot topic on twitter. The live search just keeps on scrolling. <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/05/28/google-wave-guide/"> Google Wave: A Complete Guide</a> May 28th, 2009 | by Ben Parr This is an excellent Mashable article on wave that goes into much more details and some new buzzwords. Here are some of them. - Wave: A wave, specifically, refers to a specific threaded conversation. It can include just one person, or it can include a group of users or even robots (explained below). The best comparison I can make is that it’s like your entire instant messaging (IM) history with someone. Anything you’ve ever discussed in a single chat or conversation is a wave. - Wavelet: A wavelet is also a threaded conversation, but only a subset of a larger conversation (or a wave). It’s like a single IM conversation - a small part of a larger conversation and a larger history. Wavelets, though, can be created and managed separately from a wave. - Blip (BLIP reviews): Even smaller than a Wavelet, a Blip is a single, individual message. It’s like a single line of an IM conversation. Blips can have other blips attached to them, called children. In addition, blips can either be published or unpublished (once again, it’s sort of like typing out an IM message but not yet sending it). The Google search term "Google Wave" is on a sharp uptrend.
