New Translator agreement. The PDF is actually dated Oct. 3, 2014 in the properties. Archived in http://www.webcitation.org/6TfKOJHBY on 2014-10-28 The https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/translations%2FCoursera%20Translator%20TOS.pdf of its former one now says AccesDenied in a chunk of XML. However its changing versions were archived - in http://www.webcitation.org/6SttqGNYz on 2014-09-27 - in http://www.webcitation.org/6SSA3w3F7 on 2014-09-06 - in http://www.webcitation.org/6PS41wkK8 on 2014-05-09

The updated version is even more disadvantageous for GTC volunteers, in that it does not mention the "goog and valuable consideration" that Coursera was to provide in exchange for translation work.

Tutti i video sono automaticamente sincronizzati con http://www.amara.org e quindi ciascuna reca il link alla pagina Amara.org dove possono essere sottotitolati in più lingue. Sembra che UN UMANO per ora faccia i sottotitoli inglesi originali. A differenza di Coursera dove avevano un team Amara incasinatissimo dove sbattevano sottotitoli automatici originali zeppi dei tipici errori del riconoscimento vocale, poi si stupivano che la gente mollasse le traduzioni a metà.

TANTO TANTO Quanto è bello parlare di didattica, condivisione, esperienza e voglia di apprendere

"Oettingen's team call this strategy "mental contrasting" - thinking about how wonderful it would be to achieve your goals, while paying due attention to where you're at now and all the distance and difficulties that lie in between."

Soprattutto interessante per le risorse.

Example + comment: "This language is designed to grab all rights from a free-lance author or artist. The first clause purports to create a work for hire agreement, which would mean that the author has no rights left at all, ever (and cannot even get them back through the termination right). The second clause takes a belt-and-suspenders approach: if for any reason the work is not for hire -- which it would not be if the commissioned work did not fall within the statutory categories -- the author explicitly assigns all rights not only in this work, but in any work based on this work, for the full term of copyright, for the whole world."

The example is very close to the language of https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/translations%2FCoursera%20Translator%20TOS.pdf

"The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, "Here no one else can gain entry, since this entrance was assigned only to you. I'm going now to close it.""

"Chapter 5 There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane, he had to fly them. If he flew them, he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to, he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. "That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. "It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed. p. 55 (p. 46 in Simon & Schuster 2004)"
