Why Be George Clooney = Stacy Keibler, 33, UnderWear in Monaco???

One of my Upper East Side Manhattan cousins lives in Monaco. He's asked me to come visit a few times. .. Wish I were there this weekend. ..In fact, wish I were George Clooney.

Sure, a lot of guys tend to hate with a certain primal urge to rage on the modern day popular Alpha Male like Hollywood's George Clooney for being confident, rich, gorgeous, on the silver screen, smart, savvy, great dresser, really cool friends, his Italian Villa and without over-reaching an all-access laminated cat.

I actually would love to be George Clooney for all those reasons above but also just to be hanging with Stacy Keibler this past weekend in Monaco.

Eyes up here!

Stacy Keibler, 33, attended the Formula One F1 Grand Prix on Sunday in Monte Carlo, Monaco, but all is not right in this photo.

While at first glance George Clooney's girlfriend looks très chic in a red romper with a black belt, a closer examination shows she forgot to zip it up all the way, exposing the side of her underwear.
The "Supermarket Superstars" host happily posed for photographers, likely not knowing there was a wardrobe malfunction going on down below. And while the romper was a good fashion choice - showcasing Keibler's toned arms and legs - we all just saw a little more than she probably intended!

The blonde was a good sport about the incident, it turns out, tweeting on Tuesday: "At least zip slips are better than nip slips...#oopsie."

Too bad Clooney wasn't around to give her a helping hand. The actor has been busy shooting "The Monument Men" with Matt Damon elsewhere in Europe, where the 52-year-old is getting plenty of time to goof around with pals.


George Clooney leaves LouLou's in Mayfair (Splash News)

Clooney was spotted out to dinner in London on Saturday, hanging at a member's only club in Mayfair until 3 a.m. Before heading to the U.K., the Oscar winner spent time at his house in Lake Como, Italy, while Keibler hobnobbed around the Cannes Film Festival. The last time Keibler and Clooney were photographed together was on March 16 at Berlin's Grill Royal.

There have been rumors for a few months now this romance has fizzled out. Will Keibler and Clooney put those to rest and meet up since they are just a short plane ride away from each other right now? Guess we will have to wait and see.

Somehow, we're sure Keibler got his attention with this picture.

After the Terror - - - (a new poem written today)

After the Terror

 

Inside his computer and displayed on his screen was an ocean of content

Waves crushing against the jettisoned sand sediment and petrified hot lava

Currents grasping & grabbing to gather mass consciousness and rip tides trying to

Break a heart or two or maybe open or close a few minds that might go with the flow

The pieces of the picture where there like dancing pixels waiting to be strung together

And create port cities of safe harbor along the way for those who earned a ticket to ride

These illuminations once strung together created a passing through time in unmistakable

Ritual in feeling alive like travelling along ancient ley lines leading to pauses at power spots

Refreshing as if coming up for the first breath of fresh air after swimming near the bottom

Alive with electricity directed to provide a spark of inspiration to make someone at the end

Think a little differently and maybe with a kinder, gentler, open minded ripple effect before

Anyone else would have the primal muck stuck between the ears of their heads & cast another

Stone at the woman who was really abused and used and not respected for her inherited property

He was an American and she was a pro westerner who wanted to wear Levis & listen to Obama

She followed him over the hub spots stretched out by long highways of information across the internet

 Global connections brought the opportunity for global communications to light the caves of darkness

"Theories get you thinking. Sweat get you results."

Today's Marketing "Fortune Cookie" is about the difference between the real and the ideal.
Most people are idealistic creatures. We hold an utopian image of what should or shouldn't be for our world, our family, our friends, our possessions and ourselves. Anything short of that image, is imperfect and unacceptable. We think our government is too liberal, or maybe it's too conservative. Our coworkers are too serious, or not serious enough. We should have zero percent body fat, or we think we're too skinny. We either dye our hair blonde, black or red, or some of us wish we had hair at all. We think we're too short, or we wish we weren't so tall. For most people, whatever we have and whatever we are, is not ideal.

The same thing happens in marketing. Idealistically, we will have enough time and money to conduct exhaustive market research, which will spell out in no uncertain terms, exactly what we should do with our marketing. In this ideal world, we would have three months to prepare a perfect marketing plan, the perfect messaging and six months to get the creative just right. We'd also have an unlimited budget to put all of this into play and if this were the case, you'd probably do pretty well with the campaign.

The reality in most marketing campaigns is, we don't have unlimited time or money. In fact, it's more likely that time is cut short and budgets are trimmed even shorter. There's no time for formal research. There's very little time for planning, and even less time to build it. We lift off, start flying and make course corrections and campaign optimizations from the air. We use brute force to push the flywheel, we rely on our experience to pull the right levers, and while the idealists are still developing theories, we're out of the starting gate with a head start.

Even if the idealists had their way and could develop a perfect marketing plan, there's no promise that it will actually work. Oh sure, ideally their marketing video will go viral and make Psy's "Gangnam Style" video look like child's play, but that's more likely to happen by accident. They may plan for every one of their Tweets to trend for two days on Twitter, and for their Facebook page to grow to 100 million likes over night, but it probably won't happen as planned.

At the end of the day, a great idea put into play, trumps a good theory that's still under review in the board room. If you can stomach the risk of imperfection, and are willing to make refinements as you go, you may find you've got the right stuff for a career in marketing. It won't be easy and it won't be ideal, but if you are willing to do the work, it will be as today's fortune says, "Theories get you thinking. Sweat get you results."

What does a deal with Rosetta Stone®, the world's best language-learning software, mean for Google Glass sales?

Watching Diana Falzone’s BreakTime! “Is Google Glass half empty? We examine the pros and cons of this gizmo” and reading an article this weekend called "Beliefs about Language Learning: Current Knowledge, Pedagogical Implications and New Research Directions" got my wheels spinning like the parade of vehicles that was the Grateful Dead from Pittsburgh, PA “trucking up to Buffalo.”

 

                                               Diana Falzone rocking Google Glass in studio

According to Business Insider (about 1 hour ago)

Most People Think Google Glass Is Going To Flop

Tech pundits are still weighing in on Google's computerized glasses, Google Glass.

Assessments are all over the map.

But getting a free version of a new gadget, or being rich enough that you can plunk down $1,500 for one, is very different from actually choosing to buy one as a normal person.

And that, for any new gadget, is where the rubber meets the road.

However, I say, look at iphone. It has revolutionized everyday communications in a way I’m sure big old Ma Bell was to weighed down to foresee let alone dream to release and manage.

Where does a savvy director of business development and poet dream about crossroads that will further revolutionize not only business but education too?!

One must not try to argue an upfront valuable point in Beliefs about Language Learning: Current Knowledge, Pedagogical Implications and New Research Directions. Yes. Sometimes the truth stings but almost always the first steps of change are quite painful and met with overwhelming resistance --- Just in the first paragraph alone it states that the current methods of learning have become stagnant.

Boom.

Now listen to Perillo Tours family member and CEO

Welcome to Perillo's Italy

I'll never forget my first impressions of Italy as an 11 year old boy. Majestic cathedrals. Buzzing motorbikes. I've gone back a hundred times, sometimes for work, sometimes for play, but always for what really makes Italy travel great - the reawakening of your senses.Thank you for your interest in our legendary tours and I look forward to seeing you in Italy!

                                                   Milan, Italy

OK, now imagine this 11 year old boy with Google Glass.

The learning capabilities at that age matched with gripping engaging, dynamic technology inside an everyday device such as Goggle Glass and paired up with Rosetta Stone® would occur so seamlessly that this 11 year old boy wouldn’t even realize he’s learning stuff!

In fact, in this scenario I’m painting for you I would go so far as to predict this little 11 year old going back to his dreamy dreadful suburban school district from his Perillo tour of Italy with Rosetta Stone® integrated into Google Glass his director of business development father and CPA mother bought him and he being so far advanced compared to his peers that a scandal erupts about the boy cheating in his Italian and social studies classes because of his effortless good grades.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And, moreover, to further that, if Diana Falzone is programmed into the Google Glass featuring Rosetta Stone® "real" real-time online learning as my emissary = well, I'll pay $2, 500.00. No big deal. ..

Cheers! (with a glass half full).

Metaphor of the sun and Platonic doctrine of recollection

Metaphor of the sun

In The Republic (507b-509c) Plato's Socrates uses the sun as a metaphor for the source of "intellectual illumination," which he held to be The Form of the Good. The metaphor is about the nature of ultimate reality and how we come to know it. It starts with the eye, which Socrates says is unusual among the sense organs in that it needs a medium, namely light, in order to operate. The strongest and best source of light is the sun; with it, we can discern objects clearly. Analogously for intelligible objects The Form of the Good is necessary in order to understand any particular thing. Thus, if we attempt to understand why things are as they are, and what general categories can be used to understand various particulars around us, without reference to any forms (universals) we will fail completely. By contrast, "the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent" is none other than Plato's world of forms—illuminated by the highest of the forms, that of the Good.

Platonic doctrine of recollection

The Platonic doctrine of recollection or anamnesis, is the idea that we are born possessing all knowledge and our realization of that knowledge is contingent on our discovery of it. Whether the doctrine should be taken literally or not is a subject of debate. The soul is trapped in the body. The soul once lived in "Reality", but got trapped in the body. It once knew everything, but forgot it. The goal of Recollection is to get back to true Knowledge. To do this, one must overcome the body. This doctrine implies that nothing is ever learned, it is simply recalled or remembered. In short it says that all that we know already comes pre-loaded on birth and our senses enable us to identify and recognize the stratified information in our mind.

Platonic epistemology holds that knowledge is innate, so that learning is the development of ideas buried deep in the soul, often under the midwife-like guidance of an interrogator. In several dialogues by Plato, Socrates presents the view that each soul existed before birth with the Form of the Good and a perfect knowledge of everything. Thus, when something is "learned" it is actually just "recalled."
Plato drew a sharp distinction between knowledge, which is certain, and mere opinion, which is not certain. Opinions derive from the shifting world of sensation; knowledge derives from the world of timeless forms, or essences. In The Republic, these concepts were illustrated using the metaphor of the sun, the analogy of the divided line, and the allegory of the cave.

Beliefs about Language Learning: Current Knowledge, Pedagogical Implications and New Research Directions

This paper argues that, while research on learner beliefs about language learning so far has provided us with valuable insights, it has stagnated, investigating which beliefs are fundamental to the exclusion of other important factors. The question central to this paper is what shapes learner beliefs? Despite what we know about beliefs, we have very little knowledge about the psychological mechanisms involved in creating, shaping and guiding these beliefs, which are byproducts of a number of internal as well as external factors.

The Nature and Origin of Beliefs

 Terms such as knowledge and beliefs are treated differently within the research
community, depending on varying theoretical orientations. Early psychological studies
into learner perceptions and beliefs about learning "opened a whole new Aladdin's cave of personal beliefs, myths, understandings, and superstitions as they were revealed by the persons' thoughts and feelings about their learning" (Thomas & Harri-Augustein, 1983, p. 338). They concluded that beliefs about learner capacity and personal models of their own processes were more central to understanding the individuals' learning performances than universally accepted theories of learning; these personal "myths" explained more about individual differences in learning than such psychometric measures as intelligence or aptitude (Thomas & Harri-Augustein, 1983).
In cognitive psychology, learner beliefs about the nature of knowledge and learning, or epistemological beliefs, have been investigated with the idea that they are part of the underlying mechanisms of metacognition (Flavell, 1987; Ryan, 1984), form the building blocks of epistemology (Goldman, 1986), and are a driving force in intellectual performance. Psychologists have begun to acknowledge the pervasive influence of personal and social epistemologies on academic learning, thinking, reasoning, and problem solving (Schommer, 1993), persistence (Dweck & Leggett, 1988), and interpretation of information (Ryan, 1984; Schommer, 1990).

From this perspective, beliefs about language learning are viewed as a component of
metacognitive knowledge (Flavell, 1987), which include all that individuals understand about themselves as learners and thinkers, including their goals and needs. Flavell (1979, 1981) emphasizes the study of meta-cognitive knowledge in second language learning and focuses on the person. He calls this "person knowledge." Person knowledge is knowledge learners have acquired about how cognitive and affective factors such as learner aptitude, personality, and motivation may influence learning. In addition, it includes specific knowledge about how the above factors apply in their experience. For example, is it the learners' belief that they do, or do not, have an aptitude for learning another language or, that their particular type of personality will inhibit or facilitate language learning (Wenden, 2001)?

 

Beliefs have also been said to "act as very strong filters of reality" (Arnold, 1999, p. 256).Interdisciplinary research suggests that learner beliefs about learning are intertwined
with factors such as self-concept and identity, self-efficacy, personality, and other
individual differences (Epstein, 1990). For example, students may be directly influenced
by their perception of success in learning and levels of expectancy (Yang, 1999; White,
1999; Bernat, 2004)--with realistically high helping to build confidence, and low (or
unrealistically high) expectations helping to build incompetence (Puchta, 1999). Truitt
(1995) discusses expectancy (based on Pintrich & DeGroot's (1990) concept) as
students' beliefs about their abilities and responsibilities to perform tasks. Values are
considered by Pintrich and DeGroot to be related to students' goals and beliefs about
the relative importance and interest of the task. Truitt (1995) further addresses selfefficacy as beliefs about ability, similar to expectancy.

The Day Jobs of Poets

A friend sent me this last night. .. And this does speak to me. A lot! In my late teens and thru my twenties when . I was discovering who I was and writing poetry, doing readings and such so many people tried to tell me that I could only be... a poet if I only wrote poetry and made a living by only writing and publishing poetry - which was something that made me cringe as I did not want to be boxed in, limit myself or miss out on the prized perspective of an everyday person with an everyday job. (Not to mention I love business and particularly sales and marketing). Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday World Wide Web: "20 years on, world's first Web page to be reborn"

20 years on, world's first Web page to be reborn = (and for all you who don't speak Geek let me translate: "happy birthday" first web page on the world wide web - otherwise known as the internet - there will be a special celebration by bringing back this first web page and explanations of why & how it was done + commentary on what it means today & for the future)

                                           Photo: Systemic >> Sonified


The world's first web page will be dragged out of cyberspace and restored for today's Internet browsers as part of a project to celebrate 20 years of the Web, organisers said on Tuesday.


The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said it had begun recreating the website that launched that World Wide Web, as well as the hardware that made the groundbreaking technology possible.

The world's first website was about the technology itself, according to CERN, allowing early browsers to learn about the new system and create their own web pages.
The project will allow future generations to understand the origin and importance of the Web and its impact on modern life, CERN web manager Dan Noyes told AFP.
"We're going to put these things back in place, so that a web developer or someone who's interested 100 years from now can read the first documentation that came out from the World Wide Web team," he said.

The project was launched to mark the 20th anniversary of CERN making the World Wide Web available to the world for free.

British physicist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, also called W3 or just the Web, at CERN in 1989 to help physicists to share information, but at the time it was just one of several such information retrieval systems using the Internet.

"It's one of the biggest days in the history of the Web," Noyes said of April 30, 1993.
"CERN's gesture of giving away the Web for free was what made it just explode."
Noyes said that other information sharing systems that had wanted to charge royalties, like the University of Minnesota's Gopher, had "just sort of disappeared into history".

By making the birth of the Web visible again, the CERN team aims to emphasise the idea of freedom and openness it was built on, Noyes said.

"In the early days, you could just go in and take the code and make it your own and improve it. That is something we have all benefitted from," he said.

While CERN was not promoting any specific ideology, "we want to preserve that idea of openness and freedom to collect and collaborate," said Noyes.
