In all asymmetric wars there comes a time when the tide definitely turns against one side or the other. History, or the gods of Mount Olympus, get tired of the game and decide to pick a winner.Military experts call it the tipping point. This does not mean that all fighting suddenly comes to a halt. Nor does it mean that the loser would necessarily throw in the towel. What it means is that after t

My good buddy in the Money Life Network, freefrombroke, asks this question on his blog:What is your personal finance tipping point? I see there being two tipping points in one’s personal finance. The first is when you finally admit to yourself how bad your finances are and you resolve to do something about it... The second is that point when everything comes together; all of your saving and payi

The recent real estate bubble bursting indicates a tipping point, or more to the point, two tipping points -- the point where speculation ran epidemic-like through the market; and the tipping point when sub-prime adjustable rate mortgages started coming due and burst the bubble, starting the epidemic we are experiencing now.
I'm not sure what it is. I am either okay with the present state of things in my life, or I am on the verge of collapse. It could be one or the other.It could be neither and instead be nestled somewhere in that infinite array of greys between extremes. I'm not good with the shades of grey, though. I seem to prefer throwing myself out onto one ledge or the other.I suppose that I could just stop t

Having grown up in Australia and now living in America, it is always interesting to note the subtle difference in cultures between the two countries. One clear example is when it comes to "tipping". This is how a tip is defined : "A small monetary amount left to show appreciation for a service rendered above the norm". In America the standard tip is 15-20% of the bill, In Australia it is normally 1-!0%. The reason for the difference in tipping standards between America and most countries is due to the fact that American workers in the services sector are paid close to minimum wage (around $A7 per hour), whereas in other countries the minimum wage is much higher (In Australia it is about $A14). So the low minimum wage in America is justification for the large

You know the rules: environmentalists and concerned “green” citizens on one side, business on the other. The green lobby shouts and screams about the threats of climate change, and the business lobby ignores them or reacts with “reality” statements, excuses and a lack of general acceptance.
It seems these rules don’t work anymore, and the past month may have been the tipping point. If you don’t think so, just ask Tony Juniper of the NGO Friends of the Earth.
In mid-November the Nobel Peace Prize co-winners, the Interplanetary Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the latest report (AR4). A Report that concluded - yet again - that Climate Change is here, very much here and now, and it was time to stop dicking about.

Guinness no quiso quedarse atrás en el día de los Records, ingresando en su propio libro con el comercial para la televisión mas caro del mundo.
El anuncio televisivo llamado “Tipping Point” fue producido por la agencia AMV BBDO (Reino Unido), con un presupuesto de £10 millones de libras esterlinas (20 millones de dolares/ 15 millones de euros), y dirigido por Nicolai Fuglsig, el reconocido director que estuvo a cargo del comercial de Sony Bravia llamado “Balls”.
El spot publicitario de 90´segundos de duración fue grabado en la provincia de Salta en Argentina, en ella se ve a los pobladores uniendo fuerzas para realizar un impresionante “efecto domino” con miles de objetos, según se dice invirtieron alrededor de 6,000 piezas de domino, 10,000 libros, 400 neumáticos, 75 espejos, 50 refrigeradoras, 45 armarios, 6 automóviles, entre otros artículos que se sumaron para realizar este impecable anuncio publicitario… (ver videos)

Este é o novo filme da cerveja Guinness, Tipping point, que estreou ontem a noite na Inglaterra. A veiculação está sendo feita em 3 versões: 30″, 60″ e 90″.
Com 80 anos de história, este é o comercial mais caro já realizado pela empresa. O conceito diz: “Boas coisas aguardam aqueles que esperam“.
O filme foi rodado na Argentina, em região de grande altitude. Quem assina é a AMV BBDO. A direção é de Nicolai Fugslig, o mesmo de Balls, de Sony/Bravia.
Este comercial de Guinness pode lembrar o grande sucesso da Honda: “Cog”, de 2003, que por sua vez foi baseado num filme experimental. Mas o importante é que cada um nos proporciona uma experiência diferente.

I was listening to the audio book called “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference” by Malcolm Gladwell that explains how major trends get started.

I am actually very pleasantly surprised to see a piece in the LA Times that speaks positively of what our troops are accomplishing in Iraq. In spite of the Democrats best efforts at snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory the Surge would seem to be working. ~RJHLA Times story link 'Tipping point' seenTogether with the 4,500 police officers recruited in Ramadi since last May, the members of the Provincial Security Force, or PSF, have helped effect an improvement in security that has seen attacks on U.S. forces plummet and a surge in discoveries of insurgents' weapons and munitions caches. U.S. military officers now talk of a "tipping point" in the three-year battle in Ramadi that has left much of this city in ruins.A lead collected by Sahed's crew recently was a case in point. After an attack on a coalition Humvee cost a GI his legs, the group fanned out in Al Tash. The tip soon led them to a "stranger" who had a 155-millimeter artillery shell in his house a
In a Perspective in the April 12, 2007 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the Association of European Cancer Leagues describe the growing momentum for indoor smoking bans in countries across the globe. They identify Ireland’s pioneering 2004 comprehensive indoor smoking ban as a likely tipping point for fundamental change in social norms and public health worldwide.
Since 2004, in only a few years, more than a dozen other countries have also adopted national indoor smoke-free policies that are being implemented or will be implemented in the near future.
Lead author Dr. Howard Koh, Professor and Associate Dean of Public Health Practice at HSPH said: “The 21st century is witnessing a paradigm shift, once considered impossible, whereby entire countries are declaring themselves smoke-free in indoor public places. Such mounting progress across the globe is making smoking history worldwide.”

Why did crime in New York drop so suddenly in the mid–90s? How does an unknown novelist end up a bestselling author? Why is teenage smoking out of control, when everyone knows smoking kills? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? Why did Paul Revere succeed with his famous warning? In this brilliant and groundbreaking book, New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Ideas, behavior, messages, and products, he argues, often spread like outbreaks of infectious disease. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a few fare–beaters and graffiti artists fuel a subway crime wave, or a satisfied customer fill the empty tables of a new restaurant. These are social epidemics, and the moment when they take off, when they reach their critical mass, is the Tipping Point.A must read for followers of buzz marketing
The Republicans are falling all over themselves trying to figure out how to deal with their latest scandal.
But reading the front-page headlines and watching the breathless TV coverage five weeks before the election, one could glibly assume that the fallout from the Foley frenzy will be the tipping point that will produce a Democratic sweep in the House. Especially seeing the Republicans in full meltdown, vacillating between fetal-position defeatism and a desperate effort to find a scapegoat.
