Kutiman's Incredible YouTube Musician Mashup Is Better Than The Sum Of Its Parts
Israeli mashup master and music producer Kutiman is back with an incredible new video entitled “GIVE IT UP.”
Kutiman, whose real name is Ophir Kutiel, has layered and edited together several YouTube video recordings from different amateur musicians to create an entirely new song that’s both groovy and awe-inspiring. The mashup takes parts of a 6-year-old girl’s improvised piano piece in the key of G minor, combines them with another woman’s stunning, silky vocals, and mixes in trombone, saxophone, drums, bass, violin, synth, cello, bassoon and guitar.
The result is a perfect blend of jazz, soul, classical, rock and jam band.
“GIVE IT UP” is a tease for Kutiman’s upcoming album “Thru-You Too,” out on Oct. 1. The album follows up on his highly acclaimed 2009 project Thru-You, a similar collage of sonic odds and ends that Time magazine included in its list of the year’s 50 best inventions.
To see more of Kutiman’s mashups, check out his YouTube page and watch “GIVE IT UP” above.

Airbnb Under Fire From New 'Share Better' Campaign
The battle over the so-called sharing economy is heating up as New Yorkers question the impact of home-sharing sites like Airbnb.
A campaign called “Share Better,” launched Friday by a coalition of elected officials, housing activists and hotel owners, makes the case that Airbnb listings are “illegal hotels” that are “robbing NYC of affordable housing and violating state law.”
The campaign will focus on advertising and public education, aiming to serve as a counterweight to Airbnb’s extensive ad campaign of recent months, which is partly aimed at bending New York state law in a direction more friendly to the company’s business.
The Share Better group, for its part, is using Airbnb horror stories and policy arguments alike to turn public opinion against the popular site.
“Far from being a harmless service where New York City residents can share their homes with guests to the City, Airbnb enables New York City tenants to break the law and potentially violate their leases, it exacerbates the affordable housing crisis in our neighborhoods, and it poses serious public safety concerns for Airbnb guests, hosts and their neighbors,” reads a statement on the organization’s website.
The Share Better coalition says it has $3 million to spend on its ad campaign. It estimates that Airbnb has spent $25 million on awareness efforts of its own.
Airbnb, meanwhile, is not sitting idly by. The company argues that the Share Better campaign is really just a veiled attempt by the hotel industry to ward off its major competitor.
“Some misinformed hotels are willing to spend millions of dollars because they don’t think regular New Yorkers should be able to share the home in which they live,” wrote Max Pomeranc, public policy manager at Airbnb, in a Friday blog post responding to the launch of the campaign.
Pomeranc wrote that the “Airbnb community will generate an estimated $768 million in economic activity in New York in 2014 and support 6,600 jobs.” He added that earlier this year, Airbnb removed many users who were “abusing our site” by offering large numbers of poorly rated listings.
However, representatives of Share Better maintain that sites like Airbnb contribute to skyrocketing rents and aggravate the city’s affordable housing crisis.
“With the rise of illegal hotels and the influence of corporations like AirBNB, affordable housing in our City is in danger,” said New York City public advocate Letitia James in a statement. “A housing model that threatens, instead of supporting affordable housing cannot and will not work for me, or this City.”
Airbnb declined to comment to The Huffington Post on the Share Better campaign.
Here’s a video Share Better released with its launch:

Sharing Bikes Can Lead to a Sustainable World
We’ve asked speakers at our upcoming Techonomy Detroit conference to share perspectives on topics they will discuss at the event relating to U.S. economic growth, jobs, and urban renewal. (To register for the conference, click here.)
By Jeff Olson
“Transportation, Recreation, and Innovation” is the tagline of my company, Alta Bicycle Share. We manage bike-sharing systems in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, Boston, Toronto, Melbourne, and other cities. In five years our bikes have been ridden more than 35 million miles on more than 25 million rides. That’s more than a billion calories burned, and with zero fatalities.
New York’s CitiBike–a bikeshare program with significant corporate involvement in a global media center–has quickly become something of an icon. The CitiBike has appeared on The Daily Show (including in Robin Williams’s last interview and the classic Full Pedal Racket episode), frequently shows up in the Wall Street Journal–including as the object of its editorial board’s disdain, and had a cameo in “Sharknado 2.” CitiBike blue was even the official color of Fashion Week last September.
But what seems like a fast-rising trend is really the result of decades of work by many people, communities, and visionaries who believed that the simple bicycle could be an economic, environmental, and quality-of-life panacea for modern society. Considering the convergence of the sharing economy, solar power, and wireless technologies that enable bike-share stations, it’s now possible to imagine living, working, and playing in our cities more sustainably.
Alta’s multiple offices in great places are populated by young people who are motivated by our mission, who want to spend every day working to make the world a better place. They share the vision I described in my book, “The Third Mode,” that walking, bicycling, and trails are local solutions to the global issues of our time. After 29 years of work that has felt like pushing a rock up a hill, I think we’re finally at the top, ready to enjoy the downhill ride with the wind at our backs.
Projects that we dreamed about a decade ago are now underway: the Arkansas Razorback Greenway, Jackson Hole’s Pathways system, Dubai’s Bicycle/Pedestrian networks, the innovative new National Association of City Transportation Officials Design Guide, the Saratoga Greenbelt Trail in my hometown, and so many others. We’ve achieved scale and scope that make major changes possible.
I see the glass half-full now, but still, our work is only half done.
The Techonomy Detroit conference is a great setting for sharing a vision of how new methods of mobility can move us all forward and for exploring the potential to combine public, private, and non-profit leadership resources to help make people healthier and happier.
The work of people like those gathering for Techonomy gives me hope for the future. Let’s keep moving towards a green society one day at a time, one project at a time.
Jeff Olson is an architect, planner, and author who co-founded Alta Bicycle Sharing. He will speak on a panel about responsive transit at the Sept. 16 Techonomy Detroit conference.
5 Must-Have IT Skills For The Future of Work
The fact that data has the power to change our business and personal lives has put data science and analytics at the center of how marketing is done. Every digital click, swipe, “like”, buy, comment and search produces a unique virtual identity – something that Malcom Frank, EVP of strategy and marketing for Cognizant, calls a Code Halo™, a.k.a. digital exhaust. But in order to use data to drive meaningful results companies need to know what they’re looking for and how to make correlations. Businesses such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon have had an unprecedented growth in value based on their ability to perform mass customization – creating new expectations in consumers and causing businesses in every industry to change the way they work. I recently wrote about the 5 trends shaping the future of work – all lines-of-business can be disrupted given the rapidly evolving landscape, including information technology (IT).
Malcom Frank – EVP Strategy & Marketing, Cognizant
As a global leader in business and technology services, Cognizant’s 185,000 employees are helping their Fortune 500 clients bring the future of work to life using the SMAC Stack (social, mobile, analytics and cloud). In addition to his role of chief strategy officer and CMO, Malcom also heads a digital consulting group where he helps clients navigate the transition to the digital economy. Malcom offers his insights into how companies can get into the future of work – which is now.
5 Must-Have IT Skills for the Future of Work
1. Understand and champion SMAC technologies – Cognizant’s Center for the Future of Work has brought together world class analysts and a number of academic institutions to look at how industry and company structures, and very nature of work itself, needs to transform to meet consumer expectations. Driven by the consumer market, together social, mobile, analytics and cloud technologies have clearly transformed our personal life and they add a new dimension to company business models. Cognizant’s formula for the Future of Work is called SMAC – social, mobile, analytics and cloud on one integrated stack, where each function enables another to maximize their effect. The SAMC Stack is the new enterprise IT model delivering an organization that is more connective, collaborative, real-time and productive
2. Build Code Halos around consumers – All of us now live virtual as well as physical lives. Every online action leaves a digital exhaust, which some companies have become very good at seeing, leading to their domination of their markets. In his new book, Code Halos: How the Digital Lives of People, Things and Organizations are Changing the Rules of Business, Malcom talks about how Code Halos are becoming increasingly vital to the success of every business. “By starting to build a code halo around customers the effect of what they do will form the basis for what you provide as a company so you are there and the right place, the right time and with the right product,” says Malcom, who also advises companies who sell products to instrument the machines and put code halos around their actual products as well.
3. Consumer oriented software design drives user adoption – Most internal IT groups are not known for building beautiful systems, but according to Malcom, design matters and from an IT perspective one of the new skill sets required today is the ability to build beautiful and engaging systems for consumers. He notes that design is more than just a pretty interface, it’s how someone interacts with your product. Companies like Infor have taken the link between design and enterprise software to this next level. Consumer oriented design has to become a core competency of the technology team and they need to not only design the experience but also the business model to deliver them. “The business and technology need to become one in the same and companies need to get these two together as quickly as possible,” says Malcom, who adds that in some companies the role of CDO can fill this void.
4. Get serious about data science - Relying on the data to lead companies to the right answer verses talking the HPPO (highest paid person’s opinion) is a shift in the culture of many organizations. SAP’s CMO, Jonathan Becher, employs “data scientists” to enable the marketing organization and the rest of the company to make decisions on their own based on a variety of data points. Technology driven marketing gives companies the ability to build 1-to-1 relationships, create individualized experiences and leverage technology in new ways. Malcom says it’s important to find people who understand systems and data infrastructure and who also have a great interest in the business. Using data to refine the experiences you offer down to that segment of one opens up new opportunities for mass customization and influencing the product development life cycle. With this level of data on what customers are actual buying, companies are able to get insight into what consumers will want in their product, allowing them to build the products that consumers actually want to buy.
5. Be aware of privacy versus customization challenges – Creepiness and security are the roadblocks to 1-to-1 massive customization Malcom warns. For an app like Pandora, the give is not that big. You give your music tastes and you get hours of listening pleasure, however as the ‘give’ gets bigger, such as with financial information or information about family members, the ‘get’ needs to be considered. Companies will need to determine where people will be comfortable or not. As we put more online, the security risks of bad online activity will only increase and people will need to determine what risks they are we willing to incur for the upside of convenience.

International Folk Artists Join the Global Internet Economy
Tomorrow, the Santa Fe International Folk Art Alliance will launch a program called IFAM | Online to train artists as entrepreneurs and accelerate their entry into the Internet economy.
What makes this effort so unique is it combines yearlong training and mentoring with an online store that “strengthen(s) (developing country artists) capacity to expand their businesses, as well as provide (them) with a new source of year-round income.” In the process, this effort becomes a pivotal effort in creating opportunities for developing nations to become part of the larger creative economy. As such, it represents an auspicious beginning to use the Internet to help transform the economy of more than half the world, and provide access to the growing market for creative goods and services.
While the non-profit Alliance has provided a critical mass for the sale of the artists’ work for the last decade, it has greatly expanded over the last few years. Now through IFAM|Online they are offering artist training that “provides hands-on experience while guiding artists through the channels of the wholesale marketplace.”
IFAA will start with 19 artists from 18 countries and will feature jewelry, baskets, textiles and other artifacts most in demand. And according to Hilary Kilpatric, Associate Director of IFAA and responsible for the program, the training program will expand throughout out the year, and every year thereafter. Eventually, if participation in the annual Market is any indication, artists all over the world will be getting online, selling their unique crafts and, because women’s groups exist which are the focal point for producing these products, using the profits to further develop their communities to compete in the new economy.
Specifically, the goals of the training program says Kilpatric are:
1) Equip participating folk artists with the skills and knowledge to succeed in an export market focusing on the areas of quality control, order fulfillment, and customer relations. 2) Provide learning opportunities for participating artists relating to marketing and sales, including pricing, branding, and financial resource management. 3) Build merchandising experiences for participating artists, including how to create a collection for sale, label their items and tell their story. 4) Provide participating folk artists with a platform to display and market their products to an international community earning year-round income through their sales. 5) Increase the visibility of IFAA and build awareness of international folk art by making it accessible year round to people around the world. 6) Create intercultural exchange opportunities through the purchase of international folk art that comes with a story. 7) Encourage customers to value the hand-made and engage in socially conscious buying.
IFAA is very much aware of the concerns of The United Nations, (UN), the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the UN Development Program (UNDP), who are all working hard to help even the poorest of nations be participants in the “new economy”, the creative and innovative economy that is fast becoming the benchmark of every nation in the world.
A 2013 report from UNDP and UNESCO on the Creative Economy said:
“Culture is a driver of development, led by the growth of the creative economy in general and the cultural and creative industries in particular, recognized not only for their economic value but also increasingly for their role in producing new creative ideas or technologies, and their non-monetized social benefits.”
While the developed world is earnestly figuring out what makes people creative and how best to spot the most creative worker for the new economy, developing nations are beginning to ask their people to look at their unique culture, their customs and identities, in short, their folk art as a way to open the floodgates to global commerce.
Many developing countries have unique historical and cultural identities and their folk art represents their best opportunity to leap frog into the new economy. Why? Because folk art is in abundance in the developing world, and opens the doors to creativity and all the creative industries so in demand: fashion, design, sculpture, literature and more. And, it is one of the fastest growing sectors of the world economy.
IFAA is working with folk artists all year long to address their concerns, help them with marketing issues or support their local communities. In fact, the Alliance pours much of what it earns back into efforts to help these communities around the world fund folk art projects, provide clean drinking water, and even improve health care. Over the next few years the Alliance plans to provide approximately $1.5 million in direct financial support for new artists to attend the annual market and to offer business development training and support for 1,760 artists.
Folk Art is now finding its way into the virtual world through sites like Ten Thousand Villages, the Maven Collection, the Rising Tide Fair Trade, and Beyond Marrakech to name a few. They don’t necessarily provide the training program that IFAM | Online does which covers topics such as pricing, selecting an export collection, customer relations, order fulfillment, and quality control. Artists will also learn marketing and development of promotional materials in order to effectively convey their story and grow the existing web sites as well as perhaps start even more online programs in their own country.
According to Shawn McQueen-Ruggeiro, Executive Director of IFAA:
“Artisan work is the second-largest income-generating sector in the developing world”…”we recognize the incredible power that providing a marketplace and training for folk artists can bring,” she says. ” Folk art has become an engine of enterprise, bringing opportunities to indigenous artisans the world over.”
As the 2008 Creative Economy Report noted, “many developing countries are not yet able to harness their creative capacities for development” reflecting “domestic policy weaknesses and obstacles at (a) global level”….”obstacles include lack of access to markets and non-competitive business practices.”
But that is slowly changing.
Figures published in the 2013 report show that “world trade of creative goods and services totaled a record US$624 billion in 2011 and that it more than doubled from 2002 to 2011; the average annual growth rate during that period was 8.8 per cent.” Importantly, “growth in developing-country exports of creative goods was even stronger, averaging 12.1 per cent annually over the same period.”
In Rwanda, Hutu and Tutsi, for example, women are coming together to weave and talk about their challenges and find that their lives are not so different from one another. Both are struggling to provide for their families and put their painful pasts behind them. Together they have formed the Rwanda Basket Company, now known as Rwanda Partners, and they too, are coming to Santé Fe and selling baskets there and on the Internet. Even EBay, and other Internet sellers are opening their sites to list folk artists from Africa and other countries.
There would probably be many more artists taking advantage of the opportunities to get online but the incentives and know how to do so, nor the marketing savvy are not yet there. The skills offered to artists by IFAA will empower the artists as entrepreneurs.
As the former Secretary General of UNCTAD, Supachai Panitchpakdi, observed:
“The world economy has seen an extraordinary expansion in the last five years, and the creative industries are in the forefront as a result of the globalization and connectivity that have been reshaping the overall pattern of cultural production, consumption, and trade and transforming lifestyles worldwide.”
There is however a disconnect between what is happening in the developing world, their participation in the Folk Art Alliance and the U.N. and its sister agencies. Maybe UNCTAD or UNESCO for example, is wary of stepping on its member’s toes. Maybe the IFAA isn’t doing enough to tell the U.N. what its doing.
Support for empowering the artists and their communities cry out for more encouragement and support. And we are not talking money necessarily although that always helps. One of the founders, Tom Aageson, former Executive Director of the New Mexico Museum Foundation, said that when UNESCO said it was supporting the International Folk Art Market over 10 years ago, business, government and philanthropic institutions fell over themselves wanting to help launch the idea.
Washington Post writer David Ignatius advocated for a Digital Marshall plan to teach entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation for Iraq. Maybe a plan for the developing world that does the same for folk artists makes sense too. Maybe IFAA and the IFAM|Online program is the start of such an effort.
Ancient Flying Beast Named After 'Avatar' Creature
If those bizarre flying dragons that carried around blue humanoids in the 2009 science fiction film “Avatar” were real, they likely would have been descendants of this ancient flying reptile:
The head reconstruction of Ikrandraco avatar is shown in this illustration courtesy of Chuang Zhao.
After all, this newly discovered species of pterosaur, which sported a strange pouch and blade-like crest along its jaw, was named after the movie: meet “Ikrandraco avatar.”
“The head structure is similar in this pterosaur to the Ikran in ‘Avatar,’” Xiaolin Wang, a paleontologist at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing and one of the researchers who discovered the species, told Reuters. “Of course, nobody and nothing can ride this pterosaur.”
Wang and his colleagues unearthed the fossils of two Ikrandraco in the Liaoning province in northeast China. These fossils, which date back 120 million years to the early Cretaceous Period, indicate the pterosaur was likely around 2.3 feet long with a wingspan of around 8 feet.
Features along the pterosaur’s skull suggest it may have had several small teeth and a throat pouch similar to a pelican, which would have allowed it to catch fish while flying low over the water. The researchers plan to conduct further experiments to investigate how the throat pouch was connected to the skull, LiveScience reported.
A study describing the findings was published online in the journal Nature on Sept. 11, 2014.
Obamacare Face Hurdles Ahead Of Its Second Enrollment Season
WASHINGTON (AP) — Potential complications await consumers as President Barack Obama’s health care law approaches its second open enrollment season, just two months away.
Don’t expect a repeat of last year’s website meltdown, but the new sign-up period could expose underlying problems with the law itself that are less easily fixed than a computer system.
Getting those who signed up this year enrolled again for 2015 won’t be as easy as it might seem. And the law’s interaction between insurance and taxes looks like a sure-fire formula for confusion.
For example:
— For the roughly 8 million people who signed up this year, the administration has set up automatic renewal. But consumers who go that route may regret it. They risk sticker shock by missing out on lower-premium options. And they could get stuck with an outdated and possibly incorrect government subsidy. Automatic renewal should be a last resort, consumer advocates say.
—An additional 5 million people or so will be signing up for the first time on HealthCare.gov and state exchange websites. But the Nov. 15-Feb. 15 open enrollment season will be half as long the 2013-2014 sign-up period, and it overlaps with the holiday season.
— Of those enrolled this year, the overwhelming majority received tax credits to help pay their premiums. Because those subsidies are tied to income, those 6.7 million consumers will have to file new forms with their 2014 tax returns to prove they got the right amount. Too much subsidy and their tax refunds will be reduced. Too little, and the government owes them.
—Tens of millions of people who remained uninsured this year face tax penalties for the first time, unless they can secure an exemption.
“It’s the second open enrollment, but the first renewal and the first tax season where the requirements of the Affordable Care Act are in place,” said Judy Solomon, vice president for health policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which advocates for low-income people, and supports the law.
“The fact that it is all going to be occurring within an overlapping and relatively short time frame … means that there will be many issues,” she added.
At Foundation Communities, an Austin, Texas, nonprofit serving low-income people, Elizabeth Colvin says more volunteers will be needed this year to help new customers as well as those re-enrolling. Last time, her organization’s health insurance campaign lined up 100 volunteers. She figures she will need a minimum of 50 more.
“We have less than half the time than last year, and it’s over the holidays,” she said. “We have a concern about trying to get more people through the system without shortchanging education, so that consumers know how to use the insurance they’re enrolling in,”
Some congressional supporters of the law are worried about more political fallout, particularly because of the law’s convoluted connections with the tax system.
“It seems to me there ought to be some way to better educate folks on what they may face in this process,” Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., told Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen at a hearing last week.
Thompson wasn’t impressed when Koskinen said the IRS has put information on its website and is using social media to get out the word.
Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., said in an interview that he disagrees with making people pay back part of their premium subsidy. That would happen if someone made more money during the year and failed to report it to HealthCare.gov.
“Why should individuals be punished if they got a bump in salary?” said Pascrell. “To me, this was not the ACA I voted on.”
Last year the federal website that serves most states crashed the day it went live, and it took the better part of two months to get things working reasonably well. This year, the Obama administration is promising a better consumer experience, but officials have released few details. It’s unclear how well system tests are going.
“This coming year will be one of visible and continued improvement, but not perfection,” said Andy Slavitt, a tech executive brought in by the Department of Health and Human Services to oversee the operation.
Insurers say they continue to worry about connections not fully straightened out between their computer systems and the government’s.
They also are concerned about retaining customers. One quirk troubling the industry is that policyholders who want to update their subsidies and stay in the same plan will have to type in a 14-character plan identifier when they re-enroll online. That’s longer than a phone number or a Social Security number, and customers may not know where to find it.
Administration spokesman Aaron Albright says consumers will have several ways to do that. The number will be mailed to them by their insurer as part of their renewal notice, they can get it from a HealthCare.gov call center or they can select the same plan while browsing other options online.
Alex Stevens, a dishwasher at an Austin pizzeria, got covered this year and said he’s planning to re-enroll. A skateboarding enthusiast in his late 20s, Stevens broke a leg skating with friends this summer. It was a bad break and he had major surgery the next day. But his insurance paid most of the $55,000 bill, and he only owed $750.
“My mom said she was glad that I have insurance,” said Stevens.
As the share of Americans remaining uninsured declines, it’s clear the health care law has filled a need for millions of people like Stevens, who work but don’t have coverage on the job.
That demand was strong enough to overcome a dysfunctional website the first year of the coverage expansion. The second year will show whether the full program is workable for the people it was intended to serve, or if major retooling will be needed.
