We need evolution of our education systems!

Sir Ken Robinson speaks at TEDtalks

Ted.com says:

“About this talk: In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning -- creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish.

“About Sir Ken Robinson: Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children.…..

Why don't we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance. Robinson's TEDTalk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? "Everyone should watch this."
A visionary cultural leader, Sir Ken led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative and cultural education, a massive inquiry into the significance of creativity in the educational system and the economy, and was knighted in 2003 for his achievements. His latest book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, a deep look at human creativity and education, was published in January 2009.”

It’s time for an Evolution not just a Revolution of our education systems. Regards, Mike

ThinkUKnow is an Internet safety program

ThinkUKnow is an Internet safety program delivering interactive training to parents, carers and teachers through primary and secondary schools across Australia using a network of accredited trainers.

Created by the UK Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre, ThinkUKnow Australia has been developed by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Microsoft Australia.

ThinkUKnow Australia believe that by helping parents, carers and teachers understand the technological landscape we can help keep young people safe.

ThinkUKnow is centred on the three key aspects of ‘have fun’, ‘stay in control’, and ‘report’.  The website and the face-to-face presentations are framed in this manner also.  “We want to help you understand how young people use information and communication technologies, such as the Internet, mobile devices and gaming devices, to have fun”.  These applications also pose some issues and knowing how to minimise these risks is how young people can stay in control.  If something does happen, we want to educate people on how to report these problems.

What's available on the site?ThinkUKnow website screenshot

On the ThinkUKnow Australia website, you can learn more about the applications young people use and how to stay in control whilst using:

  • Instant Messaging (IM) and chat
  • Social networking like Facebook
  • Blogs
  • Mobiles
  • Peer-to-peer (P2P)
  • Gaming devices

The ThinkUKnow site also provides information on how to report if things go wrong, as well as help and advice on non-criminal disturbances.

“Now I Can Instantly Name Any Note Or Chord Just By Hearing It!”

Ear training is important for all musicians & singers. It’s common knowledge among musicians that you can only play & sing as well as you can hear.
There are two basic types of ear training: perfect pitch ear training & relative pitch ear training. Pure Pitch Method will help you learn both pure pitch & relative pitch. The effect of this will be to make you an immeasurably better singer, songwriter, and musician (no matter what instrument you play.)

The Pure Pitch Method is 100% guaranteed and since there is a full money back refund period of 8 weeks there’s no risk involved in buying it. If you are unsatisfied with it for any reason (and you won’t be!) you can easily receive all of your money back. There’s nothing to lose, and golden ears to gain!
The website is filled with customer testimonials so you know that this product has worked for many others. If it’s worked for them then surely it will also work for you. What are you waiting for? Check out The Pure Pitch Method by clicking here.

Here are some interesting facts that you should know:
1. 10% of students at the leading music schools, including Julliard School of Music, have absolute pitch.
2. A symphony orchestra usually includes 20% - 40% of musicians with absolute pitch.
3. Numerous leading surveys have concluded that at least 50% of today's top recording artists have either absolute pitch, relative pitch, or both!

There’s a prevailing myth that only certain people have the perfect pitch ability and that most people can never develop it. Pure Pitch Method proves that untrue! Anyone can attain perfect pitch through this incredible program.

Here's what some others have said about the Pure Pitch Method:
"I've been singing for the last 15 years but I always required the use of a reference note from an instrument in order to get my musical bearings. That has all changed since listening to your pure pitch method. Now I can instantly name any note or chord just by hearing it. I can even tell whether a pitch is in tune or not. My band has started calling me 'The Human Tuner'!
Doug A., Australia

'It Didn't Take Me Long To Realize That I Made The Right Choice!'
As a student majoring in music I really wanted to learn more about absolute pitch. Out of all the courses I looked at, pure pitch seemed like the best value for money. It didn't take me long to realize that I made the right choice. All the lessons were very easy to follow and provided tons of great exercises. After witnessing my own improvements, I have been recommending the course to all my classmates.
Jared Newsome, UK"
After you start using the Pure Pitch Method you will see a whole new world of musical possibilities open up to you. Not only that but you will be seen by others around you as exceptional and rare. Who doesn't want to feel that boost of confidence? And you will certainly increase your appreciation of music!

It's Goodbye To Google – says my friend Harvey Segal

You read that right. I've told Google to push off. Stop spidering me.                     [Click Here to see Harvey's eBook]

  • I no longer want my online business to depend on its ever changing whims as to what makes a good or bad ranking.
  • I don't want to spend time collecting thousands of backward links then find that they are probably worthless because the anchor text does not contain a suitable keyword, or the site does not have sufficient page rank, or whatever the latest algorithm is.
  • I don't want to buy expensive cloaking tools and run the risk of penalization.
  • I don't want to be bothered about whether a domain has a static or dynamic IP address or have to use different hosts to make a network of minisites.

What's that you say ? You don't need fancy tricks - just provide good relevant content. My answer? Nonsense.

I have a huge content site devoted solely to ClickBank, the only one of its kind. If you wanted to find the most relevant content for a search on the keyword 'ClickBank' don't you think that would be at the top? Well Google used to agree with you. It was ranked number 2, with only ClickBank.com itself at number one. Today it is ranked ... wait for it ... number 426. It is beaten out of sight by sites which have nothing to do with ClickBank but happen to mention that keyword once.

I asked a search engine expert about this and he suggested that it was due to keyword density, in other words too many mentions of the word ClickBank. Well that has to be the case - the site is after all a 'Complete Guide to ClickBank'. His advice - try replacing the word ClickBank occasionally e.g. use 'CB'.  No way. That was the last straw and became the inspiration for me to develop a revolutionary approach to getting traffic.

It led to me being called 'The Guru who said goodbye to Google' in the marketing forums.

And this new approach ? It uses some of the fundamental pillars of Internet marketing that you already know - techniques which will never become obsolete. But they are combined together in a new way and with a viral twist that you won't have seen before. It includes giving out free information in a certain way and I show you how exactly in my book, The Ultimate SuperTip”.

Here's what others said:

"I had to take a walk round my garden"
If you are thinking of expanding your internet activities this year, do read Harvey Segal's book on viral marketing. There's no charge for it but it packs a punch. When I read it I had to take a walk round my garden to think through the implications of his system and then write down some notes! I'm still not sure I've exploited all his tips effectively yet.  As I said, no charge.
... William Charlwood, factsaboutadsense.com

"The amazing package"
The full potential your system has for promoting my various products is only just beginning to occur to me. Not to mention the amazing package of ebooks and tools you have thrown in.
... Peter Roe, MindWaves.co.uk

"So compelling, so mesmerizing"
Your ebook was so compelling, so mesmerizing, so "suspending of my rational thinking", that I rushed to hit the button at the end.
... Terry Rayburn, graceforlife.com

"Simply astonishingly intelligent"
I read a lot of stuff on the Internet, especially about marketing. Some is great, but most is pretty average. However, yesterday I downloaded Harvey Segal's "The Ultimate SuperTip" in which he reveals a few things I already knew and a couple of ideas that are simply astonishingly intelligent. (Wish I'd thought of them!).
One of the most useful concepts he deals with ... for me as an ebook seller ... is the ability to rebrand PDF ebooks from an HTML file "on the fly". And he even shows where you can get an unheard of 100% commission. And that's genuine.
... Robin Henry, dwave.com.au

I found the greatest marketing idea of all time - in a FREE book: The Ultimate SuperTip.
