DIGITAL KNOWLEDGE

A new publication discusses the role of technology in sharing and preserving Indigenous Knowledge for future generations. In “Sharing and Preserving Indigenous Knowledge of the Arctic Using Information and Communications Technology,” researchers Heidi McCann and Peter Pulsifer from the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, and Carolina Behe from the Inuit Circumpolar Council-Alaska analyze how digital technologies afford and impact the preservation of documented Indigenous Knowledge while maintaining cultural significance and intellectual property rights.

Christie knew all about 'Bridgegate', according to prosecutors who say they will prove it. The over wait and see overweight fat cat apparently knew in advance about a plan to shut down George Washington Bridge lanes as an act of political retribution say, prosecutors.

Meanwhile, CC top insists he knows 'nothing'. Will Humpty dumpty fall off The Donald's wall?

DIGITAL FRAGMENTATION

Digital fragmentation is shaping the way we produce and consume news. This, according to a study conducted by Ricardo Gandour.

During his time as a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York, the Brazilian journalist looked into the "new journalistic environment," which he found, "is characterized by consolidation and fragmentation, two conceptually opposed phenomena that advance simultaneously."

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life... It has nothing to do with pretty or ugly.

It is all about respect and admiration. You must also avoid:

Choosing the wrong partner. A lot of people choose somebody for the wrong reasons. Have a solid foundation in the relationship so that the partnership can continue when some of the other factors start to erode.

Lack of communication. It's important to resolve disagreements immediately and not allow resentment to build. Take time to right any wrongs and never go to bed angry with each other.

This has been an extreme and often disgusting political camp pain. Now the home stretch is finally here for US registered voters as we approach 50 days, which could become filthy before we cast our and follow our consciences.

After more than a year of an unusually toxic and dangerous period, could it all come down to a survival between white only, or in living color? Much can happen in the final fifty days.

It's a blame game of he said she said. The Donald launched his camp pain and continued a birther lie, while a Hillary staffer who was let go was spreading lies. Meanwhile, she insists she's telling the truth.
We the people should ask them to wear lie detectors when the candidates appear on stage for their debates? Why do politicians insist on lying to US?
