Human Interest

Other Worlds by Garrett Putman Serviss is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . PREFACE PREFACE The point of view of this book is human interest in the other worlds around us. It presents the latest discoveries among the planets of the solar system, and shows their bearing upon the question of life in those planets. It points out the resemblances and the differences between the earth and the other worlds that share with it in the light of the sun. It shows what we should see and experience if we could visit those worlds. While basing itself upon facts, it does not exclude the discussion of interesting probabilities and theories that have commanded wide popular attention. It points out, for instance, what is to be thought of the idea of interplanetary communication. It indicates what must be the outlook of the possible inhabitants of some of the other planets toward the earth. As far as may be, it traces the origin and development of the other worlds of our system, and presents a graphic picture of their present condition as individuals, and of their wonderful contrasts as members of a common family. In short, the aim of the author has been to show how wide, and how rich, is the field of interest opened to the human mind by man's discoveries concerning worlds, which, though inaccessible to him in a physical sense, offer intellectual conquests of the noblest description. And, finally, in order to assist those who may wish to recognize for themselves these other worlds in the sky, this book presents a special series of charts to illustrate a method of finding the planets which requires no observatory and no instruments, and only such knowledge of the starry heavens as anybody can easily acquire.

The point of view of this book is human interest in the other worlds around us

It happens every few months: an article or video describing a shocking new TikTok trend lands in one of your feeds, one you simply can not believe is real. From people biting into Tide detergent pods and trying to climb across stacked crates to eating corn on the cob attached to a power drill, these trends become a core part of the cultural discourse for a few days or weeks before the world turns and moves on to the next one. As TikTok is fundamentally an entertainment vehicle, it’s not surprising its users seek this sort of thing out, nor is it surprising the algorithm built to capture your attention rewards these content creators. What those who don’t use TikTok may find surprising is there is increasing visibility and popularity of edutainment communities, people who gather around content subjects designed to entertain and also educate. There is an untold number of these communities, including #BookTok, #FoodTok, #MoneyTok, and #BeautyTok. But there’s one that has really lifted off in the last year or two that no one saw coming: #PrisonTok. #PrisonTok is an Eye-Opener Like many niche communities on TikTok, #PrisonTok offers a window into a world many know only through the lens of mass media and news reports. #PrisonTok creators come from all angles, including legal professionals, those who work in prisons, the formerly incarcerated, and even, believe it or not, . those who are currently serving time and accessing the internet with a smartphone they’re not allowed to have One leading #PrisonTok influencer, Sabrena Morgan, has built an engaged audience with more than 51,000 followers as she shares her journey from addiction and self-destruction to her four years in federal prison and where she is now, re-entering society while trying to spark a broader conversation about the justice-related things people tend to shy away from. In a recent episode of the , Sabrena shares the emotional evolution she underwent while on pre-trial and away at prison and how that helped her not only develop good, healthy habits but also to live a life driven by intention and a desire to, in her words, “not waste time.” Nightmare Success podcast with Brent Cassity The honest, raw perspective of someone who re-invents their fundamental approach to life is not one that makes its way through to Hollywood, but its popularity on TikTok tells us that it is a mistake by the major studios and producers: people want these stories. Beyond Entertainment and Human Interest And while other #PrisonTok influencers take a sillier approach to their content, offering up things like prison recipes, it’s important to understand the real value of #PrisonTok extends beyond entertainment and human interest. In the words of , #PrisonTok and related communities have become an important step for those facing the prospect of incarceration: “Unfortunately, for many years, there has been a lack of information to those who are going to prison. That’s a very big problem that social media is beginning to address, and the availability of this information has already had a meaningful impact on thousands of people.” federal prison consultant Sam Mangel Mangel, who offers similar, , knows first-hand. After he was arrested for insurance fraud violations in 2016, Mangel engaged an attorney who specializes in white-collar criminal defense. Despite his purported expertise, Mangel’s lawyer failed to prepare him for several key pre-sentencing steps, which culminated in a sixty-month sentence, more than three times greater than the guideline recommendation for his crime. complementary, and informative content about prison on his YouTube channel Mangel turned his attention to what he could do to return to his family as quickly as possible, which was a tall order in the pre-#PrisonTok world. Mangel ultimately served less than two years of his sixty-month sentence, returned home, and now assists white-collar offenders (including CEOs, medical professionals, politicians, and foreign nationals) in preparing for incarceration as a federal prison consultant. If he were faced with the same circumstances in today’s information environment, it’s likely Mangel would have been better informed and would have known to speak with his attorney about the critical steps they missed. It’s possible he would have engaged the services of a consultant for personalized guidance. And armed with all of that, it’s likely he would have found himself with a far better outcome than a sixty-month sentence. The Power of Breaking Down Information Silos While many media outlets focus on security concerns that threaten to and groups that liken social media use to smoking cigarettes, communities like #PrisonTok offer what has long been the promise of social media and the internet broadly: breaking down data silos, improving access to critical information, and connecting people. That’s why it’s important to highlight communities like these, which clearly offer so much help to those in need. These are an important counter-point to the current discourse around TikTok and social media. ban TikTok in the United States

THE LOVE STORY OF THE AWKWARD MAN

Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 2 by Havelock Ellis is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. It has been remarked by Professor Wilhelm Ostwald that the problem of homosexuality is a problem left over to us by the Middle Ages, which for five hundred years dealt with inverts as it dealt with heretics and witches. To regard the matter thus is to emphasize its social and humanitarian interest rather than its biological and psychological significance. It is no doubt this human interest of the question of inversion, rather than its scientific importance, great as the latter is, which is mainly responsible for the remarkable activity with which the study of homosexuality has been carried on during recent years. The result has been that, during the fourteen years that have passed since the last edition of this Study was issued, so vast an amount of work has been carried on in this field that the preparation of a new edition of the book has been a long and serious task. Nearly every page has been rewritten or enlarged and the Index of Authors consulted has more than doubled in length. The original portions of the book have been still more changed; sixteen new Histories have been added, selected from others in my possession as being varied, typical, and full. These extensive additions to the volume have rendered necessary various omissions. Many of the shorter and less instructive Histories contained in earlier editions have been omitted, as well as three Appendices which no longer seem of sufficient interest to retain. In order to avoid undue increase in the size of this volume, already much larger than in the previous editions, a new Study of Eonism, or sexo-esthetic inversion, will be inserted in vol. v, where it will perhaps be at least as much in place as here.

PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION

THE STARS OF AUTUMN

Saying nothing is loud and clear. From startup to public traded company, there is an opportunity for earned media that many tech companies are missing right now. Not a day goes headlines aren’t pummeled with lay offs, cut backs or, as of today, . For companies in growth mode, the once cutthroat competitive landscape for media attention is opening slightly. Example -- the same companies going through layoffs aren’t pitching positive stories to the same media writing about their deficiencies. startup-funding banks closing What didn’t work two years ago, may now What was once a race to differentiate between competitors or stand out in a crowded marketplace, may now be an easier “sell.” Especially in the startup world, human interest stories in the “survive and thrive” genre are resonating along with more coverage of success moments that aren’t as frequent. For example, startups who close a Series B round are more compelling because . those rounds have fallen sharply The media you earn during these moments sets a company up for the next round of funding and has major implications in launching a company’s post-funding earned and owned media strategy. Remaining relevant in the news cycle (think: every 28 days) is a major part of what our team calls the Reputation+ model and impacts authority and awareness for every single stakeholder. “Always on” mentality We all know that major media coverage doesn’t happen overnight. No professional relationship in any capacity works like that. It’s important that your public relations team has regular outreach with media across all of your target verticals. From story starter ideation to early outreach on major company news and announcements regular “drip” outreach builds long-term relationships on behalf of your brand. Companies who conduct media outreach or thought leadership moments infrequently (less than once a month) can expect the same from media results. Media strategy matters more than ever right now because the portion that includes “white space opportunities” is a gap that is widening. While product-led announcements typically incur the lowest amount of coverage, in the current economy, there are new ways to position these types of things if they: save money, save time, impact employee satisfaction, reduce waste, etc… These types of stories didn’t really work a few years ago because almost everyone could say the same thing. Working with an internal PR team or external agency in an “always on” capacity means they build out a 28-day strategy that includes a full-scope strategy: major announcements, proactive story starters, reactionary topics, thought leadership, owned amplification and more. Fully executed, it gives marketing counterparts ample opportunities to retarget and implement paid strategies to further connect with stakeholders. Earned media increases investor meetings Recently, a friend of mine, who also happens to be a founder in an industry that is getting funding, got a “big deal” earned media placement. This particular piece linked him with some impressive third-party credibility and thanks to particular words and phrases in the article, it’s now the number one result for him on Google (and Google News). Why does it matter? He is currently fundraising and investors are researching him before meetings. Coincidentally, after securing this major placement, he noticed an increase in the number of investor meetings accepted over the next two weeks. How did they get the placement? It doesn’t hurt to have a friend in tech PR who was able to offer them as the perfect source to a reporter who was actively working on piece already. Imagine replicating that across the board with bylines in trade publications investors or customers read, a podcast tour to get your voice heard or with multiple secured media opportunities that alert your Linkedin connections, like investors, that you’re in the news again. Score. Public relations practitioners understand the changing media landscape and interact with  reporters to keep a pulse on what they’re looking for and what stories they want to tell. Be part of the story.
