Romania’s Inna Drops New Video
September 30, 2010 by Charlie Amter
Share: 
Just hours ago, Bucharest-based beauty Inna released her latest video, “Sun Is Up.” Earlier this week (September 28th), the singer was the most viewed musician on You Tube–a major coup for the blowing-up-worldwide singer. This clip is not quite as “Amazing” as her other videos released in 2010, but it’s still very well done and will likely rack up millions of views just as her other hits have done. File under catchy, light pop fun.

Urdu Bazaar is one of the busiest markets of Lahore, Pakistan. It is situated at opposite side of Mori Gate of walled city, near Anarkali bazaar.

Fundamentally Addicted to Choice

Short but informative video from a women’s breakfast with NBCU’s “Power of the Purse.” It’s women-focused, of course, but interesting to hear the advice, which hasn’t changed in several years. I’m ready for someone to tell brands HOW to get the women, not just the reasons they should. In other words, not just the “be where she is” which is important, but the “talk to her and listen to her” wherever she is. Best sound byte: “today’s woman is fundamentally addicted to choice.”
In Defense of Delhi and India for the Commonwealth Games

Lodhi Garden, Delhi, India
Commonwealth Games at a tipping point
In the days leading up to the 2010 Commonwealth Games, Delhi has been vilified in the western media for lack of preparedness, unclean facilities, unfinished and potentially unsafe stadiums (a bridge collapsed, injuring dozens) and security lapses. The international community called it a “fiasco” and is putting a lot of pressure on India to rectify the situation. I feel heartbroken about this because I know and love the city of Delhi, and it pains me to see that the western media seems to take particular glee in exposing the “filthy” conditions. Sports columnist Stephen Brunt in Canada’s national Globe and Mail newspaper wrote a very thoughtful column about the situation, a column that should have been in the front section of the newspaper: Huge shadow looms over New Delhi.
In the column, Brunt rightly pointed out, “… this kind of shortfall was inevitable, eventually. It has been coming. And were it not New Delhi now, it would be somewhere else in the very near future, in a city and country that paid too much, that promised too much, that was…

Return of The Girl Effect

She’s back. The Girl and her Effect. A couple of years ago many of us were inspired by The Girl Effect – a starlingly persuasive and influential text-based animation explaining how to tackle poverty in the developing world by helping young girls fulfill their potential.
Gazillions of views later the sequel is here. Another beautiful, powerful piece of storytelling which just premiered at the Clinton Global Initiative summit in NYC.
Enjoy, spread the word and be inspired to do something.

Bill Clinton Time To Get Local
September 30, 2010 by Michelle Kraus

The US and the economy were for the first time a big focus at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting last week in New York City. Hallelujah! The former president hinted at an effort to get the unemployed back to work and retrained for the new and emerging jobs. Of course, Tom Friedman of the New York Times showed up with a lofty panel of experts, and there were sessions on new market-based solutions, worldwide manufacturing, and clean tech. Admittedly, there was a discussion on “Robust Job Creation in the United States.” The former president did address the issues of small business, manufacturing and clean energy. There was a panel where players such as Wal-Mart, Timberlake, and others discussed overhauling their operations to reduce carbon emissions and create jobs. And there was the tireless work of Laurene Powell Jobs together with her co-founder Carlos Watson at College Track that has been working for more than a decade to change the lives of underprivileged youth by keeping them in school and preparing them for college.
So why not have Bill Clinton turn his full attention to rebuilding America? Obama’s not doing it… Read more…

Yum! A festival for the ultimate Southern comfort food takes place October 2, 2010. What, you haven’t heard? The National Banana Pudding Festival takes place that day in Centerville, Tennessee.
Come taste the sweetness! Head for the Hickman County Agriculture Pavilion, 979 Grinder’s Switch, Centerville, Tennessee. Hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., but there’s bound to be more goodies toward 10 a.m. than by the time 10 p.m. rolls around.
What’s a banana pudding festival without banana pudding? The “Puddin Path” will give you a chance to sample some of the best, and in some cases what can be described as “not your grandma’s banana pudding” — all prepared by non-profit organizations. After you sample the different versions, you can “vote” for your favorite by dropping a dollar or two or three in the voting jar for that organization.
Who makes the best Banana Pudding in the nation? If you believe you do, this is the contest! If it’s your grandma, well it’s time to load her in the car and find out if hers really is the best ever. The winner of the very first National Banana Pudding Cook-Off will… Read more…
