Experts Everywhere; Howcast Integrated

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:58:54 PDT
This morning’s New York Times has a great piece by technology writer Miguel Helft on the growth of the how-to video sector. A popular “smorgasbord” of instructional content, from the “satirical” to the “humorous” to the “esoteric,”as well as platforms to support it, is emerging, he points out, and online video seems like the perfect medium for it, given the enormous range of subjects people want to learn about. How else could you learn how to start a fire with a battery? It is with these pro

Will CBS Swoop in on Web MD and Buy It?

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:39:10 PDT
Last week I ran down a list of potential acquisition targets for CBS Interactive. I ended up with the conclusion that only CNET would provide a strategic fit with enough leverage. Mind you, with his ability to peer into upcoming trends and opportunities, CBS’ President Quincy Smith is enamored with Web 2.0 (that’s not a knock) and CNET is certainly a tad too Web 1.0 for CBS’ liking. So who else is out there? Well, how about health pioneer Web MD? Like CNET, the company commands a billion-plus

Ha Noi - World cheer bard�s birthday







Viet Nam News, Vietnam

Ha Noi, world
cheer bard�s birthday


(22-04-2008)








Bloody good show: A
scene from the play Macbeth by artists from the Youth Theatre. �
VNS File Photo

HA NOI � Ha Noi�s Youth
Theatre will join in a worldwide celebration tomorrow of William Shakespeare�s
444th birthday with a performance of an abridged version of the Bard�s famous
Scottish play, Macbeth.


The international event,
entitled Shakespeare 24, is an extraordinary worldwide day of performance
organised by the Shakespeare School Festival in London.


The festival is a unique arts
education initiative which enables young people to perform abridged productions
of Shakespeare�s most famous plays in their local professional
theatres.


Kicking off in New Zealand and
ending 24 hours later in Hawaii, 65 youth theatres and school groups from 35
countries will stage abridged plays at 7pm in their respective time zones on
Wednesday, April 23, Shakespeare�s birthday.


From Mexico to Malawi, Russia
to Rio, the cultural baton will be passed around the world in a day.


In England, the city of
Liverpool, 2008�s "Capital of Culture," is a Shakespear 24 event partner
and will broadcast highlights of the performances.


Receiving the invitation from
the organising board last year, Ha Noi�s Youth Theatre artists have a rare
opportunity to revive a classic play.


Macbeth, written by Shakespeare in 1606-07, is a story of
murderous ambition set in 11th century Scotland.


The Youth Theatre production
tomorrow is based on the production staged by veteran director Le Hung in 2002
and given 68 performanes, including at festivals in Beijing and Shanghai in 2003
and 2005, said the theatre�s deputy director, Truong Nhuan.


The production was
enthusiastically received in China, Nhuan said, especially due to the Asian
theatrical motifs used in the scene depicting the death of Macbeth�s
wife.


"The play is very Vietnamese
in character because director Le Hung used dances from Vietnamese tuong
(classical opera)," Nhuan said.


In the play�s title role,
actor Anh Tu said, "I�m very enthusiastic to play Macbeth as I have played in
many other classic plays from around the world and Viet Nam. I am very proud to
play this role and I try to express the character of Macbeth, who is very
talented but overly ambitious. I like the cause and effect of the play." �
