A Simple Process To Learn How To Curate Any Content You Read: The Cornell Notes

I recently stumbled onto this short video tutorial (1′:57″) which was created to explain to students how to take effective notes during a lesson or lecture.

Right upon my first play through it, I immediately felt that the steps suggested in it, could be also very useful for anyone just starting out with content curation and wanting to follow some kind of formal sequence to achieve good results.

The Cornell Notes video tutorial illustrates in fact in less than two minutes how to: 1) collect notes,  2) extract key concepts from them and  3) synthesize the essence of it in a presentable and readable format. If you are just starting out with content curation, this can be quite useful.  Useful. Simple. 8/10

Looking further ahead, the article states:

If you thought special interest money in the last election was a problem you haven't seen anything yet. Thanks to Citizens United the Koch brothers and their Rightwing friends are determined to spend what it takes to put their servants into office. This is so obvious one would think that the Supreme Court would realize the dreadful mistake they made. However, I don't think they see it as a mistake. The corruption of American democracy was what they intend! ed.

First Perturbations of Resistance to the Encroaching Police State?

This short Youtube video shows some cop cars nearby a club at night, and the cops in the cars are apparently monitoring those entering or emerging from the club, all of whom are peaceful and causing no trouble. Some men decide to approach the cop cars and issue the kinds of threatening questions innocent motorists stopped by the police routinely receive, “Is there anything illegal you in your vehicle, can I search your vehicle?”, etc. After a short time of this treatment, the cops leave. Some of the comments on this video urge watchers of it to spread the word and organize similar types of such incidents against other cops. This make me wonder: is this incident an early warning signal of mass citizen resistance to government-corporate tyranny? If this kind of action catches on, it may well be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful on the 30% That is Old Think — Oblivious to Evolution & Nuance, January 25, 2014

Although this book is seven years old, as the world confronts the twin debacles of CIA rendition & torture combined with drone assassinations of thousands (only 2% of whom could be construed somewhat legitimate targets) and NSA's mass surveillance combined with its financial and cyber subversion of most other foreign intelligence services, I thought it important to buy and review this book.

It emerged from the Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in the USA.

It losed one star on page one, the opening chapter by Bruneau & Boraz:
