What was that? How are you going to introduce it to the world? Why, make a blog of course! Imagine: A blog of your own that is filled with all of your ideas, interests, and aspirations. You can interact with and build a community, filled with people who have the same interests, opinions, and aspirations! Doesn’t that sound awesome? Your blog will be your very own safe-space, filled with the stuff you love. At the same time, you can also make money off of it. You have to agree that that is amazing! That is also why many people have blogs of their own these days.
Making a blog is easy; the difficult part is running it after. You have to take into account several things, when running a blog: Is your blog staying relevant? Is it popular? Is it practically sound? Apart from that, making money off of your blog isn’t that easy either. There are a bunch of "do's and don’ts" that you definitely have to know when creating a blog. To be honest with you, if you are serious about making this blog, you have a lot to learn.
But fear not, dear friend, because How to Start and Manage a Successful Blog is here to help! This audiobook is a complete guide on how you can create a blog, curate it, and make money off of it, too. It will teach you strategies for making your blog a success, along with disclosing a few secrets....T
his audiobook will provide you with information like how to keep your blog relevant, monetize it, create and build a community; connect with the readers, collaborate with other bloggers, as well as the importance of creating a mailing list; how to make a business out of it, how social media can help, a list of all the dos and don’ts, etc. It even tells you how to sell it! All this might sound a little overwhelming, but don’t you worry, this audiobook isn’t the usual guidebook that only consists of boring chapters, jam-packed with technical terms. This audiobook is your friend. It wants you to achieve your dreams. All it wants is for you to create that blog, and build that community filled with the stuff that matters for you! It is rooting for you! Is it going to be a difficult read? Nope, it is not. You'll be listening to it! And better still, you might just mistake it for a casual conversation with a friend. So listen to the book, and make that blog already!

On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

Story
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Run a Google search for “black girls” - what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls”, the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried 58 shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.
