Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers … (Filmed at TEDxPugetSound.)
In 2009, Simon Sinek released the book “Start With Why” — a synopsis of the theory he has begun using to teach others how to become effective leaders and inspire change.

Natalie Merchant sings from her new album, Leave Your Sleep. Lyrics from near-forgotten 19th-century poetry pair with her unmistakable voice for a performance that brought the TED audience to its feet.
Natalie Merchant’s career spans three decades — as the leader of 10,000 Maniacs and in her own solo work — of making warmly personal music.
This concerns our generation where energy consumption is based on oil. Everything we know and think about is oil, and we have degrades our anchient methods to absorb a setback.
Not sustainability but resilience.
According to … “We worship energy, war is fought for what we worship”.
Ok, it is not only oil reserves are decreasing. it is also fresh water, and fosforous. The basic elements that we need as an ecological system to survive.

Mijn eerste leken vraag: Betekent dit dat ze onze variant van structured data (RDF/XML) niet doorzoeken?
Verder op de Google Blog staat:
What’s next?
We’ll be continuing experiments with new types (beyond reviews and people) and hope to announce support for more types in the future.

…..We do believe that it is important to have a common vocabulary: the language of object types, object properties, and property types that enable structured data to be understood by different applications. We debated how to address this vocabulary problem, and concluded that we needed to make an investment. Google will, working together with others, host a vocabulary that various Google services and other websites can use. We are starting with a small list, which we hope to extend over time.….
…We’re convinced that structured data makes the web better, and we’ve worked hard to expand Rich Snippets to more search results and collect your feedback along the way…
Zij leveren een service die semantiek kan toevoegen aan bijvoorbeeld blogs, en andere content op websites.
Lijkt me erg relevant om eens te kijken hoe ze dit dan doen…. O en ze zijn powered by…. Thomson en Reuters .
De Grote jongens die gaan dus langzaam maar zeker ook de kant op van het semantisch web.
SIR TIM
Tot slot vond ik weer eens een filmpje van Sir tim; waar wij uitkwam op de proof (on vooral) Trust issues; ditmaal met de insteek of die apps die structured data tot zich nemen te vertrouwen zijn en niet de data zelf; maar het principe is volgens mij hetzelfde:instappen op minuut 18 a 19 zouo ongeveer het stukje over trust moeten opleveren: http://cloudofdata.com/2009/10/licensing-of-linked-data/
Ok here is the thing. I read the briefing acticle “The electrification of motorisation” (with subtitle: “The electric-fuel-trade acid test”) in The Economist of September 5th-11th 2009, on page 73. I was excited and thrilled to read this article in the hope they could provide me with new information about this subject. Since it is The Economist wiriting, it is ofcourse about the Joule per dollar one can get out of a gas or electrical battery. The thesis continues about the bateries, new developments make Li-ion bateries faster to charge, nanotubes to give the electrones a smooth ride. etc. Then they talk about the infrastructure to recharge and to increase the range of your car. There are mentioned two possibilities: 1. charging station at fuel stations, charging a highspeed (and very expensive) battery for 80% in 30 minutes. 2. swapping stations that replace the depleted battery with a new one (see also the TED talk of Shai Agassi) .
Nature has come-up with elegant solutions of today’s problems.
Janine Benyus tells us about a research field that is called Biomimicry. In this field they look at strategies nature has come-up with to solve different problems, just by trail and error during the process of evolution. Let evolution work for us. www.asknature.org is a website one can post different strategies that can be used by humans to solve problems of teoday in an elegant and natural way that keeps the planet eurth in its equilibrium.
Besides that one can innovate just by changing perspective. This talk is about the evolutionary perspective of grass.
This talk is about the aquatic-ape. A different perspective on the evolution of the homo sapience.
Elaine Morgan is a tenacious proponent of the aquatic ape hypothesis: the idea that humans evolved from primate ancestors who dwelt in watery habitats. Hear her spirited defense of the idea — and her theory on why mainstream science doesn’t take it seriously.
Elaine Morgan is an octogenarian scientist, armed with an arsenal of television writing credits and feminist instincts, on a mission to prove humans evolved in water.
The authors Jaap Bloem and Menno van Doorn from the consultancy company Sogeti describe how to setup a Open Innovation business model based upon the Open Source Software model. It describes how one can use empowered employees with greater autonomy to create innovitive products or services and create greater trust due to the transparancy. Open for Business is only in Dutch.
