""Lab pe aati hai dua" ("Chlid's prayer"), on a poem by Allama Iqbal, the great Urdu and Persian poet (1977-1938 - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Iqbal ). It is sung here by Siza Roy and a chorus of school children, Label: Saregama Distribution: The Orchard - see http://www.theorchard.com/dist/releaseInfo.php?upc=829410800501. Thanks to the Orchard for having removed the ads that were first automatically added to this video. NOTE I don't know Urdu, so I copied the words from "dua (prayer) - Lab pe aati hai dua... " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvBd_F-Fn3w . one of the several open-captioned videos on this poem. Then I used them to produce the dynamic subtitles in Open Captioning with TunePrompter (Mac version: http://tuneprompter.en.softonic.com/mac ). Exporting the video produced the credits in the first seconds of the video."

"Each week, we will be interviewing people who are truly inspiring. They come from all over the world, and have overcome obstacles that make life that much harder. Their stories are inspirational, and allow us to be grateful for what we have in life. "Many people have come to see disease as a gift in their lives. Often, they learn that they are more than their disease, and once freed by that certainty they go on to live the rest of the story." This week, we interviewed Chloe Cohen. A truly inspiring woman who has been dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Chloe's inner strength and determination to help her deal with MS allows us to realize that their is hope for everyone. I feel honored to be able to share Chloe's story with everyone, and I hope it gives you as much enjoyment as it has given to me. Women like Chloe are hard to come by. Too many of us give up before we even try, especially, when suffering from a disease such as MS. Chloe's openness and willingness to share her story with all of us is amazing."

"On November 13 the Digital October Center hosted a web meeting with Eli Bildner, one of the Coursera team members. Bildner is responsible for looking for educational partners and translating selected videos into the native languages of the projects's multicultural audience, and shared the results of the first few months of work he has put into localizing the content of the most popular platform for free online education. He discussed: which translation approaches have been tried and how well they have worked from country to country why Coursera settled on working with local partners the statistics on what has already brought about growth in the number of users who do now know English well enough or even at all. Lecture guests also were the first to see how the crowdsourcing platform ABBYY Language Services and the Knowledge Stream team built to translate Coursera content works. This solution at some point in the future may become a universal tool for localizing courses around the entire world. At this point, however, the development is in beta testing."
