Thousands of Fishermen Empty Lake in Minutes

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 05:53 PM PST

Got a favorite fishing spot? Well, you ain't never seen nothin' like this one in Lake Antogo, Mali. On one day a year, the Dogon people can fish in the sacred water of the lake – and fish they do: the lake gets emptied in minutes!

Spot The Odd One Out

Strange has never looked as good or hilarious as it does in these funny pictures. At first glance everything seems "normal" but a closer look reveals a far spookier adventure unfolding right before your eyes and once you spot it, you'll have a toe curling chill running down your spine or a hearty belly laugh. Either way, you'll feel like a true champ once you figure out what's strange about each and every one of these pictures.

Tuesday at 9

Good afternoon,

I just started at the White House as a Senior Advisor to President Obama, and over the past few days we've all been increasingly focused on Tuesday’s State of the Union Address (9 p.m. EST). The President will talk about what America needs to do to create jobs today, make America more competitive tomorrow, and win the future for our children and our country.

And to make sure that you are part of the discussion about America's future, we've been working on a number of ways to use our online program to give you and Americans across the country a chance to participate in this important event and ask your own questions. That starts immediately after the speech ends, when White House policy experts will be available at WhiteHouse.gov to discuss the issues the President raised in the speech and to take your questions and feedback.

We've also lined up a series of live online events with President Obama and other senior Administration officials on Wednesday and Thursday to answer as many of your questions as possible.

Check out the lineup of events and learn how to participate:

Tuesday, January 25, 9 p.m. EST
Watch live @ WhiteHouse.gov/SOTU

I'll be in touch next week with more details and reminders about all of the ways you can engage with the White House around the State of the Union Address.

Sincerely,

David Plouffe
Senior Advisor to the President

Seth's Blog : Misjudging risk (and bad decisions)

[You're getting this note because you subscribed to Seth Godin's blog.]

Misjudging risk (and bad decisions)

The perception of risk is skewed when bad outcomes are vivid, personal and immediate.

Given the choice between working on the important and the urgent, the urgent almost always wins.

Given the choice between avoiding the rare but grisly outcome or doing the hard work to avoid the equally nasty, more subtle but more common outcome, we usually go for the grisly.

We do this sort of miscalculation all the time at work. We avoid the hard work on the long-term project in order to panic and rush about to avoid the possible vivid, immediate and personal risk on the short-term project, even if it's far less important.

(Think about this the next time you're in the security line at the airport).

This is one reason why the media is so complicit in many of the issues of the day... they take concepts that were previously abstract and relentlessly make them vivid, personal and immediate. It amplifies the risks around us and easily sells us on a cycle of dissatisfaction.

If you want to create action on the important, figure out how to make it vivid, personal and immediate.
