Nassim Nicholas Taleb - What is a "Black Swan?"


Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/02/04/Future_Has_Always_Been_Crazier_Than_We_Thought Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb discusses the central theme of his bestselling book, "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable." ----- The Future Has Always Been Crazier Than We Thought with Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb discusses his book, The Black Swan in relation to predicting the future, learning from the consequences of the unknown, and the power of randomness. Nassim Nicholas Taleb is an essayist, belletrist, and researcher only interested in one single topic, chance (particularly extreme and rare events, the "Black Swans" i.e. outliers); but it falls at the intersection of philosophy/epistemology (skepticism; knowledge about the dynamics of history; inferential claims), philosophy/ethics (stoicism facing random events; theories of nonhedonic happiness), mathematical sciences (probability theory, statistical physics), social science/finance (opacity & incomplete information in economics), and cognitive science (the mental biases making us "fooled" by randomness). He mainly derives his intuitions from a 2-decade long and intense practice of derivatives trading ("nondull" activities with plenty of randomness). Taleb is currently a researcher at London Business School. He the Dean’s Professor in the Sciences of Uncertainty University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Fellow in Mathematics in Finance, Adjunct Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University (since 1999), and research fellow, Wharton School Financial Institutions Center, and Chairman, Empirica LLC. Taleb held senior trading positions with trading houses in New York and London and operated as a floor trader before founding Empirica LLC. His degrees include an MBA from the Wharton School and a Ph.D. from the University of Paris. He is the author of Dynamic Hedging, Fooled by Randomness, and The Black Swan.

A Visit from St. Nicholas


Best viewed in High Def (subtitles) Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winters nap; When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all! As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and Saint Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney Saint Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes — how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!

Nick Jonas - Appreciate + lyrics


This is the FULL song of appreciate. Lyrics: And there's a man dyin' on the side of the road Won't make it home tonight He was driving fast on a cellular phone That's how he lived his life While he was hanging by a thread These where the final words he said (Chorus) My girl turned sweet sixteen today She's beautiful So Beautiful It might get rough sometimes But I hope she keeps her faith (Hope she keeps her faith) I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her Life is too short so take the time and appreciate And there's a woman crying on the kitchen floor She gotta a call tonight And now she's trembling outside her daughters' door Walks in and holds her tight Wonderin' how or where to start Is there a way to shield her heart (Chorus) My girl turned sweet sixteen today She's beautiful So Beautiful It might get rough sometimes But I hope she keeps her faith (Hope she keeps her faith) I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her Life is too short so take the time and appreciate Anybody lovin will (lovin will) Get hurt along the way Don't be Afraid to open up (open up...) And use the time you have before it fades Show your love today (Chorus) My girl turned sweet sixteen today She's beautiful So Beautiful It might get rough sometimes (It Might Get Rough sometimes) But I hope she keeps her faith (Hope she keeps her faith) I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her Life is too short so take the time and appreciate Life is too short so take the time and appreciate

Nicholas Brothers in Down Argentine Way (1940)


The Nicholas Bros perform the title song in Down Argentine Way. It was the very beginning of their golden years in the early 1940s. To be accurate, it's from 1940 to 1943. During the period, they appeared in six films in Hollywood - Down Argentine Way (1940), Tin Pan Alley (1940), The Great American Broadcast (1941), Sun Valley Serenade (1941), Orchestra Wives (1942) and the legendary Stormy Weather (1943). And this is definitely one of their bests. It's actually equal with the famous 'Jumpin' Jive' routine in Stormy Weather. By this time, the Bros, Fayard and Harold, had already been stars at Cotton Club in Harlem and also appeared in several films, such as Kid Millions (1934), The Big Broadcast Of 1936 (1935), Calling All Stars (1937), etc. They were already fabulous in the '30s. This film, however, tells that in those days the little brothers were, so to speak, only "Padawans". Now they were back on screen as "Jedi Knights"! In the first place, Irving Cummings, director of D.A.W., intended to edit and shorten the Bros' scene, while dance director Nick Castle made a claim for including it in its entirety. A test screening was held, where the audience raised a cheer for the Bros and shouted to the operator in the projection booth to rewind the film and show their dance sequence again (the operator actually did it), which settled the argument. It eventually survived and now you can watch it here. The Nicholas Bros were known as "the Show Stoppers" in the '30s. Nobody could follow them on stage. And they stopped the show literally even on the silver screen! Fayard and Harold appear again at the end of the movie and dance a bit. It also features Carmen Miranda singing 'Mama Yo Quiero' (as well as 'South American Way') which Harold would sing in Reckless Age (1944). You can see the D.A.W. routine enacted on the Colgate Comedy Hour aired on Dec 14, 1952. The Bros performed it also in the film Botta E Risposta (1950) in medley with the 'Jumpin' Jive'. Fayard Nicholas (10/20/1914 - 1/24/2006) is the man on the right. He was kind of a born dancer, a dance-crazy guy of the Astaire type. Watch every movement of his arms, hands and fingers when you see him dancing. Totally beautiful. You can compare it with the movement of Astaire's hands, for instance, in the 'Chanege Partners' number in Carefree (1938). Harold Nicholas (3/27/1921 - 7/3/2000) is on the left. He did singing, dancing, acting, impressions...a very versatile man of the Sammy Davis Jr type. Actually he was Davis' idol. They were the kings. NO ONE could touch them. Tap dancing is not an out-of-date thing, but still an exciting form of dance. One great thing about tap is that you can not only see it, but also HEAR it. Even a blind man could enjoy it. It creates beat, rhythm...which is the most fundamental thing for music. Yes, in the beginning THERE WAS RHYTHM. Hoofers wear tap shoes, just like Jedis wear lightsabers...an elegant weapon of a more civilized time. I call hoofers "Jedis of dance".

Nicholas Brothers in Stormy Weather + Gregory Hines' commentary


The Nicholas Brothers' legendary performance in Stormy Weather (1943) with commentaries by Gregory Hines, Maurice Hines and Fayard Nicholas himself. From the great documentaries We Sing & We Dance (1992) and Flying High (1999). Needless to say, this is one of their bests. It's a jet coaster ride!! What Gregory Hines didn't mention there is that the staircase routine at the climax is sort of a tribute to Bill Robinson who made a specialty of dancing on a staircase. He could tap up and down stairs beautifully. Well then, how did the successors go down stairs? That's what "creation" is all about. And also, the sequence where the Bros dance on the orchestra bandstand is a variation of Robinson's 'African Dance' number in the same movie where he taps on an assemblage of drums. Soon after Stormy Weather, the Condos Bros tapped around a bandstand in Song Of The Open Road (1944) like the Nicholas Bros did, and, in Sensations Of 1945 (1944), girls did splits on huge white tiers reminiscent of the Jumpin' Jive staircase. Fayard says the staircase scene was done in one take without any rehearsal. It's totally different from a perfectionist like Fred Astaire who obsessively rehearsed and shot his routine over and over again. Though discipline is a very important thing, that staircase sequence seems beyond what the repetition of rehearsals can achieve. Remember most of the great jazz records were done in just one or a few takes. That's one of the reasons why it is so fresh and vivid, and still "the greatest ever put on film".
