Um dia recebi uma grande lição de um professor, talvez a maior dica de todo o curso.
Em minha formatura há alguns anos, fiquei muito empolgado com o cerimonial, muita gente se formando , todos felizes a fila para pegar o "canudo"estava grande e lenta. Mesmo assim resolvi, que na minha vez, iria falar com o reitor, enfim agradece-lo e etc.. pois estava muito feliz e o esforço havia sido enorme.
Quando cheguei perto daquele senhor e comecei a dizer tudo que vinha na minha cabeça, ele olhou bem para mim, colocou as mãos nas minhas costas e olhando a fila que se formava disse: Just keep moving son!!

PETA em protesto na Times Square

A instituição PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, que em português quer dizer Pessoas pelo Tratamento Ético dos Animais) fez uma manifestação pacífica porém sangrenta, na última semana na Times Square, em Nova York.

Pessoas deitaram despidas dentro de bandejas ensanguentadas e forradas com plástico filme, similares às que consumimos nos supermercados e açougues para a compra de pedaços de carne. Devidamente etiquetados, cada pessoa ou bandeja fornecia a seguinte informação: "Carne: Bilhões de animais são abusados e violentamente mortos porque você come carne".
O protesto tentou, mais uma vez, abrir as portas para que a filosofia "viva e deixe viver" do vegetarianismo pudesse se sobressair em lugar da filosofia "viva e deixe morrer" atualmente em vigor em grande parte do mundo.

O descaso com o consumo de carne incomoda não só os protetores da vida animal, mas os ativistas e defensores dos direitos humanos, e enquanto o protesto acontecia nas ruas de Times Square, comentários maldosos da mídia afirmavam que a PETA nunca seria levada a sério enquanto jogar tinta nas pessoas como forma de protesto.

Se tinta é mesmo a melhor forma de protestar contra o consumo da carne animal ou não é, esta é um questão a se discutir. Mas a interferência artística e o questionamento de surpresa no meio da rua pegou um monte de gente desprevinida, e que ao ver e entender a manifestação, comentava que perdeu o apetite, ou se perguntava o que deveria almoçar, agora, depois de visto isso.

Sandwiches in a can: Can-do or can-don’t?

To win consumers’ hearts, Candwich inventor knows it will all come down to taste

markonefoods.com

Have you been hankering for a food product that can roll around inside your car for months before you eat it? If so, look no further.

by Laura T. Coffey

Mark Kirkland is used to skeptics. He’s comfortable with critics. He’s unfazed by the reaction he typically gets the first time people hear about his invention: “Ewwwwwwww.”

Kirkland, 50, of Salt Lake City, Utah, has dedicated more than a decade of his life to a single concept: The sandwich in a can.
Or, actually, make that a few concepts: Sandwiches in a can. Pizza in a can. French toast in a can. Cinnamon rolls in a can.
Why a can? Because, when combined with techniques similar to those used to preserve Meals Ready-to-Eat for soldiers, an aluminum can keeps food fresh for a full year or even longer. Yes, that’s right: A fresh, year-old sandwich.
And cans have an added benefit, Kirkland noted: They fit perfectly inside all the soda vending machines that exist, well, everywhere. That means his “Candwich” products could be sold in both stores and vending machines.
“So think about it,” Kirkland explained. “You’re a mom running your kids between school, piano lessons, soccer. Stopping at a fast-food restaurant takes time. This is something that literally could roll around the car for a few months. ... I kind of compare it to bottled water when it first came out. At the time I thought, ‘Why would I pay a dollar for a bottle of water when I can just go to the water fountain?’ Now I drink bottled water every day. It’s convenient.”
But how does it taste? Thus far, Kirkland’s assurances haven’t done much to stem the snickering and giggling. On his late-night Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report,” Stephen Colbert joked about preserving sandwiches with the same technology used to store motor oil. Colbert said of the “BBQ Chicken Candwich”: “I am confident only one of those B’s stands for botulism.”

Jac Howard

TODAYshow.com writer Laura T. Coffey conducts a taste test and gives the PB&J Candwich a thumbs-up.

Kirkland knows his products won’t be a hit with busy moms, kids or anybody else if they don’t taste good. To demonstrate the virtues of “shelf-stable bread” and sandwich fixings that have a long shelf life, he sent two peanut-butter-and-jelly Candwich samples to TODAYshow.com. This writer tried them, and you know what? They weren’t bad at all. In fact, they tasted just like standard peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches made with hot-dog buns — a perennial kid-lunch staple.
In the interest of full disclosure, Kirkland did not send the sample sandwiches in a fully canned state. (The cans are in the process of being mass-produced for his PB&J Candwich product launch in August.) When canned, his food products will undergo the rigors of “hurdle technology” — that is, hurdles to prevent the growth of any pathogens or unwanted organisms in the food. By controlling the amount of oxygen, acidity and water inside the packaging and the sandwich itself, pathogens can be stopped in their tracks, Kirkland said.

markonefoods.com

To build a PB&J Candwich, you spread the contents of squeezable peanut-butter and jelly packets onto a hot-dog bun that has been stored separately in cellophane.

The sandwich samples Kirkland shared with TODAYshow.com included the ingredients that would have gone inside a can: A hot-dog bun wrapped in cellophane; a squeezable packet of peanut butter; a squeezable packet of jelly; and a small piece of taffy for dessert. You just build your own sandwich and nosh. The shelf-stable bread Kirkland uses for the hot-dog buns wound up sitting in a FedEx package for five days, but it still tasted, smelled and felt just fine.

But what about pre-built sandwiches and pizza pockets that have meat baked into them? How do those hold up after months and months inside a can?
Jeff Pierson, 46, a nature and wildlife photographer based in Salt Lake City, loves the BBQ Chicken Candwich so much that he’s devoured dozens of them. A few years back, he tried his first canned sandwich courtesy of one of his buddies, a longtime friend of Kirkland’s.
“When it was just peanut butter and jelly, I was pretty excited about it, but when I was handed my first meat sandwich I was a little hesitant,” Pierson recalled. “I thought, ‘How safe could this be?’ But I’ve eaten them after a full year, and they were still good — and I’m still here.”
Pierson said the sandwiches are convenient when he spends multiple days outside — nowhere near a store or refrigerator — taking photos of grizzly bears and other wildlife. When closer to home, he’s also devised a method for enjoying hot chicken sandwiches.
“I keep ’em in my car,” he said. “I put ’em in a heavy plastic sack and leave them on the dashboard, and I have a hot sandwich for lunch. ... I’ve never been sick and I’ve had a lot of them that have been kicking around in the car for a spring and a winter, a few seasons, and it’s always been OK.”
No need for refrigeration Because of their staying power, inventor Kirkland also sees a place for Candwiches in emergency-preparedness kits and at times when natural disasters strike.
“I wish I would have had about 100 million of these when the earthquake hit Haiti,” Kirkland said. “Or any time there’s a hurricane or the power goes out. ... I think of it as more of a convenience item than an emergency item, but I do think it’s perfect for emergencies.”
In August, peanut-butter-and-jelly Candwiches will go on the market for the first time in limited areas of the United States. That will be followed by a nationwide product launch. Next will be the Pepperoni Pizza Pocket Candwich, which has the pepperoni, sauce and cheese baked into the bread.
Next up: The BBQ Chicken Candwich, the BBQ Beef Candwich, French toast that contains a maple filling, and cinnamon rolls that come with a spreadable chocolate sauce. Kirkland also has plans to unveil canned calzones and canned wrapped sandwiches in the future.

Pretty soon consumers will be able to add a sandwich to their soda order when they do business with a vending machine.

He foresees the products selling in soda vending machines for $2 to $3, and in grocery stores and convenience stores for varying prices.
‘A long, hard road’
Kirkland is almost giddy that the Candwich — which is being marketed by his company, Mark One Foods — is finally about to be sold to the general public. His lengthy canned-sandwich journey began when he had an epiphany back in the 1990s.
“I was eating a cookie and drinking a soda, and it occurred to me if I put cookies into a soda can I could sell it through a soft-drink vending machine,” Kirkland said. “I had a cookie in one hand and a drink in the other, I thought, ‘Hey! Bring your hands together!’ That’s where it all started.”
He patented the concept of putting a non-beverage item inside a soda container in 1999. He found an investor named Travis L. Wright who wanted to back the Candwich and help bring it to the market — but as time passed, everything went awry.
It turns out that Wright allegedly used money raised from about 175 other investors to support Candwich development and other business ideas. But those other investors had given Wright $145 million to invest in commercial real estate. A lawsuit filed this month by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission maintains that Wright committed fraud by misleading his investors and using their money to fund a “lavish lifestyle.”
“He had me in limbo for years, and then he left me in the lurch,” Kirkland said. “When the real estate market crashed, his business crashed, and now he’s being charged with fraud. It’s nothing that we did wrong; it’s just that he turned out to be a bad investor.”
Kirkland said he’s struggled to get the Candwiches to the product-launch point without Wright’s full, promised backing. It took a while to pull that off in this economy.
“It’s been a long, hard road,” he said. “It’s been a tough five years. If I didn’t really believe in the product and I didn’t have a good wife, I’d probably be dead now.”

Meu Gianinni

2010-07-21T03:56:00.000-07:00

Lembro como se fosse hoje. Esperei meu pai chegar para o almoço, em casa. Há 30 anos atrás aquele era o dia mais esperado do ano, 17 de Julho, meu aniversário. E aquele dia seria especial, afinal estava no conservatório musicas José Carlos Biancardi, conhecido como Grupo AMA, há 2 meses e meu pai me prometera um baixo, intrumento que eu cursava com os professores Aldão, Aurélio dias e mais tarde Tavinho Fialho e IVan, no baixo Acustico.

Meu pai chegou, e fomos para a rua Aurora, lá no centro na loja Del Vechio, uma das poucas lojas que vendiam instrumentos musicais, ainda não tinha isto na Teodoro Sampaio muito menos internet ou mercado livre.

Fiquei emocionado com a quantidade de baixos, Tinha o Gianinni Supersonic, o Stratosonic e o Rickenbacker. Como era menor e estava começando meu pai escolheu o Supersonic e um aplificador Palmer 550(pesava uns 20 Kilos).

Fiquei com o Super alguns anos e depois evolui para um Gianinni Rickenbacker, Sonzasso!!!. Com ele me diverti muito tocando nas Bandas Sigmetal e Equinox.

Achei estas fotos na web e quem tiver mais fotos de baixos antigos por favor me envie.

País viveu um boom de lançamentos no varejo

Adriana Mattos, de São Paulo

Brasil agora ocupa a segunda posição entre os países que apresentam mais novidades nas gôndolas no mundo

O volume de lançamentos de produtos de consumo no Brasil bateu recorde em 2009 e colocou o país na segunda posição entre os que apresentam mais novidades nas gôndolas no mundo. Apenas os Estados Unidos, onde há um mercado consumidor maduro e extremamente ativo, registraram um número maior de lançamentos.

Foram tantas mercadorias apresentadas pelos fabricantes no mercado brasileiro, em sua maioria voltadas para as classes C e D, que, de cada cem itens novos criados pela indústria no mundo, cinco foram lançados no Brasil por fabricantes instalados no país, segundo dados do Laboratório de Monitoramento Global de Embalagem da Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM).

Payola - From Seth Godin

2010-07-07T04:00:00.001-07:00

Payola
For twenty years, the Billboard charts were easy to manipulate. By paying radio stations and some retailers, record labels could push an act to the top 40, which would increase sales. People liked buying what they heard on the radio, and the radio played what they thought people were buying.
Billboard changed their methods about twenty years ago, and overnight the acts on the list changed. Suddenly, it became clear that what we were listening to wasn't what we thought it was, and as a result, the marketing of music changed forever.
The New York Times bestseller list is even more easily manipulated than Billboard ever was. It doesn't cost much to scam it and it's pretty straightforward to buy your way onto the list (I know authors who have done this and consultants who sell this service.) You can hire a bunch of old ladies who will go into the 'right' stores and buy books on the right day. As a result of this distortion, the books on the list get more promoted, and thus sell more copies. It's not pretty but it's true. The Times is well aware that this is going on, that the list isn't accurate, but they persist in publishing lists that are demonstrably wrong. (I still find this amazing, but it's true).
Manipulating social networks is easier still. There are firms that manipulate which stories are posted and which blogs are linked to, and for years there are firms that have worked to manipulate which links come up higher on the search results as well. As these signposts become more, not less, important, there's a significant market opportunity for someone who can, as Billboard did, clean up the charts and make the payola worthless or at least more transparent. In the meantime, be skeptical.

Interessante!
Há 30 anos atrás eu escutava muito sobre o TeleVizinho. Aquela figura que morava ao seu lado ou perto de vc (ou de seu televisor) e que vinha ver a TV.
Pois bem ontem estava no aeroporto e aconteceram 2 fatos inusitados. O primeiro foi um senhor, alto de origem européia que me perguntou se gostava de F1. Disse, educadamente que sim. Então o senhor me perguntou sobre a classificação do Grid. Disse que não. Aí ele sentou-se ao meu lado (eu estava com o Ananias, meu netbook aberto) e me disse, vamos rapaz acesse a globo.com e veja logo isto!. Rachei de dar risada e disse que estava trabalhando.
O segundo fato aconteceu no meu retorno, desta vez com um menino de 10 anos, o Pedro. que sem cerimonias, sentou-se ao meu lado e pediu para acessar a FIFA para ver a classificação e simulação que ele havia feito. por pouco ele não ficou usando o meu computador.
foi muto engraçado lembrou de minha juventude, quando minha mãe nos pedia silencio para escutar a televisão da Vizinha. Sempre tinha o jingle Ducal, Ducal!
Estamos nma época do WEbVizinho?

Ads And Brand Experiences That DEMAND Consumer Attention

The game of marketing has changed fundamentally. Taking out uninspiring, run-of-the-mill print and TV ads doesn’t fly any more. Marketing a brand effectively requires exceptional ideas and concepts that are entertaining and unusual enough to capture the imaginations of today’s cynical, ad-wary consumers. Our advice is to go beyond the traditional media to capture your audience in other platforms as well – offline brand experiences that DEMAND consumer attention.

The Starfish and the Spider

2010-05-17T06:13:00.000-07:00

Peguei o resumo , na integra no site http://www.starfishandspider.com ,
um livro antenado com o dia a dia de muitas empresas brasileiras, também recomendo a leitura.

IT'S A STARFISH WORLD AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT
One thing that business, institutions, governments and key individuals will have to realize is spiders and starfish may look alike, but starfish have a miraculous quality to them. Cut off the leg of a spider, and you have a seven-legged creature on your hands; cut off its head and you have a dead spider. But cut off the arm of a starfish and it will grow a new one. Not only that, but the severed arm can grow an entirely new body. Starfish can achieve this feat because, unlike spiders, they are decentralized; every major organ is replicated across each arm.
But starfish don't just exist in the animal kingdom. Starfish organizations are taking society and the business world by storm, and are changing the rules of strategy and competition. Like starfish in the sea, starfish organizations are organized on very different principles than we are used to seeing in traditional organizations. Spider organizations are centralized and have clear organs and structure. You know who is in charge. You see them coming.
Starfish organizations, on the other hand, are based on completely different principles. They tend to organize around a shared ideology or a simple platform for communication- around ideologies like al Qaeda or Alcoholics Anonymous. They arise rapidly around the simplest ideas or platforms. Ideas or platforms that can be easily duplicated. Once they arrive they can be massively disruptive and are here to stay, for good or bad. And the Internet can help them flourish.
So in today's world starfish are starting to gain the upper hand.
How can Toyota leverage starfish principles to crush their spider-like rivals, GM and Ford? How did tiny Napster cripple the global music industry? Why is free, community based Wikipedia crushing Encyclopedia Britannica overnight? Why is tiny Craigslist crippling the global newspaper industry? Why is Al Qaeda flourishing and even growing stronger? In today's world to answer this it is essential to understand the potential strength of a starfish organization.
The Starfish and the Spider by Ori Brafman and Rod A. Beckstrom, explores the phenomenal and unstoppable new power of the starfish organizations and will change the way you look at the world.

Book Jacket Summary

If you cut off a spider's head, it dies; if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one, and that leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. Traditional top-down organizations are like spiders, but now starfish organizations are changing the face of business and the world.
What's the hidden power behind the success of Wikipedia, craigslist, and Skype? What do eBay and General Electric have in common with the abolitionist and women's rights movements? What fundamental choice put General Motors and Toyota on vastly different paths? After five years of ground-breaking research Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom have discovered some unexpected answers, gripping stories, and a tapestry of unlikely connections. The Starfish and the Spider argues that organizations fall into two categories: traditional 'spiders,' which have a rigid hierarchy and top-down leadership, and revolutionary 'starfish,' which rely on the power of peer relationships.
The Starfish and the Spider explores what happens when starfish take on spiders (such as the music industry vs. Napster, Kazaa, and the P2P services that followed). It reveals how established companies and institutions, from IBM to Intuit to the US government, are also learning how to incorporate starfish principles to achieve success. And it will teach you:

How the Apaches evaded the powerful Spanish army for 200 years
The power of a simple circle
The importance of catalysts who have an uncanny ability to bring people together.
How the Internet has become a breeding ground for leaderless organizations
How Alcoholics Anonymous has reached TK million members with only a shared ideology and without a leader

The Starfish and the Spider is the rare book that will change how you understand the world around you. You'll never see things the same way again.

Impetus for Writing

After the events of 9/11, we co-founded Global Peace Networks, a non-profit that engaged CEOs from around the world in conflict resolution and economic development projects. Small circles of CEOs worked in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. There was no hierarchy or rigid structure. Rather, the circles worked independently on their own projects. Over time, we began seeing connections between this decentralized network and what was happening in virtually every industry.
The connections all around us were just too strong to ignore--what did craigslist have in common with al Qaeda? How were Skype and the Apache Nation linked? What did Toyota, GE, and eBay have in common?
In May of 2004, we presented our ideas to a a group of 60 CEOs at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The group loved the presentation and asked for more. They told us we had to write the book.

The Title

Our initial working title was "The Decentralized Revolution." We still love this title but it was just too abstract, not to mention a mouthful. "The Starfish and The Spider" on the other hand, is concrete, has meaning, and is easy to remember. The concept of using the starfish as an image for representing decentralized networks came from brilliant environmental scientist, Dr. Jane Lubchenco. We were having dinner with her and told her about our work and ideas. She encouraged us to study the starfish which has a completely decentralized nervous system.
The Starfish is a perfect metaphor for decentralized organizations. The spider, in turn, sort of looks like a starfish--it has a bunch of legs coming out from a centralized body. But the spider has a head--it's centralized. The contrast between these two animals is the basis for the title.

No final do ano liguei para o SAC da Sky TV para solicitar o cancelamento, contrariado pois gostava do serviço. Me convenceram a apenas suspender por 90 dias (ia mudar de apartamento e ainda não tinha onde instalar o equipamento), recolhi o equipamento e o trouxe aqui para o Flat onde estou (conforme indicado pelo Atendimento SKY) Achei ótimo, em alguns dias poderia instalar tudo de novo no meu novo endereço.
Porém, recebi uma notificação que no débito automatico cairia uma conta da SKY TV. Fiquei surpreso liguei para o atendimento (+/- 45 min) e me disseram para não me preocupar, renovariam a suspensão por mais 60 dias(eu ainda nào havia mudado) e retiraram o débito do sistema. achei ótimo, atendimento demorado mas solução dada.
Ontem recebi uma ligação sobre meu débito pendente fiquei mais 50minutos explicando tudo de novo, ninguem achava o histórico, nada que comprovasse minha história. Assustado com isto passei o protocolo dos atendimentos, foram localizados mas em branco, segundo o operador. Disse que alguem (+/- 20 minutos) me ligaria para resolver pois eu tinha, realmente, razão.
Me ligaram ontem no meio da tarde. Expliquei tudo de novo(+/- 40minutos de novo) e disseram que o débito procedia, que não havia renovação e que eu teria que pagar mesmo. ABSURDO!!!!
Lembrei a atendente de toda a história e disse que se esta era a posição da SKY, tudo bem. Pago para sair, mas saio. Daí (30minutos cravados depois) ela me disse que não posso cancelar senão pagar os débitos (brincadeira). Solicitei um boleto, a retirada do equipamento e ADEUS SKY. Pois bem ela não aceitou tenho que pagar os débitos. ok, eu pago!!!
Após nossa conversa, recebi extrato de pontos da SKY pela fidelização!!?!?!?!?
Sinceramente? SKY me esquece!!!

Açougue Chique

Imaginem em 1876 um açougue sendo lançado na Austrália em uma pequena rua. Como será este açougue Tradicional, clássico, moderno, limpo, etc... Este é o Victor Churchill Butchery, grau máximo em elegancia, design e sofisticação a prova de que um açougue pode ser hype.

Sensacional não.Aquela imagem de açougue sujo de sangue ficou para trás, não é mesmo?

Imaginem um açougue deste tipo no Brasil onde ficaria?

Quando estiver na Austrália por favor visite:

Ontem fui pego de surpresa! Zapeando os canais me deparei com o Miss Brasil 2010. Rapidamente peguei pipoca, Coca Zero bem gelada e comecei a ver um dos maiores espetáculos da TV Brasileira. Gente o que foi aquilo?!?

Como o evento estava bonito, bem ensaiado e bem coreografado. realmente muito bom. Havia tempo não dava tanta risada. Em certo momento as misses saíam de cortinas e as camaras as flagravam segurando as cortinas e olhando do tipo: é minha vez agora? depois elas passavam por um corredor com 6 atores/modelos que as paqueravam. O show maior estava nas perguntas do tipo com quem vc gostaria de jantar? Minha familia, respondeu a "surpresa " miss. Parabéns Débora Lyra vc vendeu a tudo e a todos!!!!
