Women over 45, Learn a Foreign Language through Singing!
Sing2Learn combines three innovative methods to make learning easy, fun, and interesting: Sing2Learn, Sing2Pattern, and Sing2Picture. Sing2Learn uses singing to make the learning process fun and easy. Learners mimic what they hear with very little stress or mental processing. Sing2Pattern allows learners to create hundreds of sentences from simple sentence patterns and syllable patterns. Sing2imageture uses the power of visualization to enhance learners’ memorization skills through visually stimulating graphics. All of the songs are 100% original and they emphasize simplicity, clarity, and a comfortable pace for easy learning, and are creative — which makes it fun and easy to learn.
Watch the video, Have some fun!
Chief Blonde Remarks:
Sing2Learn is just what it says. You are learning while you are singing. Now we all know how we remember the most trivial songs, tv jingles, and radio ads that are set to music. I’ll bet you can still sing the Big Mac song–”2 all Beef Patties…” or how about the Brady Bunch theme “Here’s the story, of a lovely Lady,….”. So you can certainly see why the Sing2Learn concept was very interesting to me when I first viewed it at the CES.
Christopher Boyd Brewer in his book Music and Learning says that music can help us learn because it will–
When you couple your knowledge of how music that you have learned has STUCK with you through the years with clear research on the Music and learning concepts–who can argue that a child or a Women over 45 can learn a foreign language or at the very least the common phrases with Sing2Learn?!

| There just might be a stereovision PC in your Christmas stocking this year. Jon Peddie Research (JPR), the industry’s research and consulting firm for graphics and multimedia just completed an in-depth look at the emerging Stereo 3D (S3D) PC market. Titled, “Stereovision in PCs,” The report finds that the S3D market is poised for rapid growth in the immediate future. Close to one million dedicated S3D PCs will ship in 2010. That number will grow to 75 million by 2014 as S3D becomes ubiquitous. |
Table 1: Growth rates from 2010 to 2014
|
| Although most PCs will be S3D capable due to the GPUs that are in them, not all PCs will be S3D PCs because they need a special monitor, glasses, and appropriate content. However, S3D PCs will be very attractive to several important market segments. JPR’s report provides forecasts for the unit sales of the seven major applications that will take advantage of S3D on the PC: 1. PC: Games |
|
“Gaming will be the vehicle for kick-starting the S3D PC market,” said Jon Peddie. “The gaming segment has the largest inventory of content and the most vocal enthusiasts who will spread the word and show their friends and families what it looks like and what it can do.”
Pricing and Availability
The JPR S3D PC Market Study is available for $2,995. www.jonpeddie.com Women over 45 take note–in a couple of years, this will be the technology that you will have to stand outside of TARGET for before Christmas! You might as well be informed about it now! Blog Note: Chief Blonde did not receive compensation or product for this post. Information provided by the company.

World’s Largest Technology Tradeshow Posts Twelve Percent Attendance Growth
The 2010 International CES® today announced that 126,641 industry professionals attended the tradeshow’s four-day run in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10, a 12 percent increase in CES attendance from the previous year. An independent audit of the 2010 International CES, performed by Veris Consulting LLC, confirms CES’ status as the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow and North America’s largest annual tradeshow of any kind.
Veris is certified by the Exhibition and Event Industry Audit Commission (EEIAC) to perform audits. As part of the Veris audit, each CES attendee is counted only once, and show size is calculated using only exhibit space actually sold, not hallways or bartered space.
“The CES was overflowing with innovative new products, and this audit proves that the 2010 International CES successfully attracted top executives, retail buyers, content providers, entertainment executives, venture capitalists, engineers, government officials and media from every corner of the world,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, producer of CES. “CES is also a must-attend global event as evidenced by our more than 24,000 international attendees.”
The number of Women over 45 who attended the show was not readily available, much to the disappointment of Still Blonde after all these YEARS!, a blog for women over 45!
2,500 global companies, including a record 330 first time exhibitors, unveiled an estimated 20,000 new technology products across 1.4 million net square feet of exhibit space. More, 24,364 international attendees from 136 countries helped increase global attendance at CES by more than eight percent over last year. The top ten countries represented at CES are Canada, Korea, China, Japan, Mexico, United Kingdom, Taiwan, France, Brazil and Germany.
Senior-level executives and business decision makers continue to conduct business at CES. According to the Veris audit, 45 percent of all attendees were senior level executives, director level and above, on par with last year. Presidents, CEOs and/or business owners made up 20 percent of attendees. More than one third of all attendees are the final decision makers when it comes to new product purchases and partnerships within their organizations. More than 8,400 attendees represented companies with more than $500 million in total annual sales, nearly double the previous year.
The Veris audit also shows that CES attracts leaders from diverse business areas including entertainment, retail, education, engineering and venture capital. More than 12,000 retail buyers, 8,000 manufacturers and 3,000 engineers came to the 2010 CES along with more than 8,500 attendees from the software development/publishing, content development and entertainment industries, a 41 percent increase over last year.
Top government officials also attended the 2010 International CES. Policymakers from the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, the Department of Commerce, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of the Treasury were all present.
Every year, influential media and analysts attend the CES to report on the cutting-edge technologies and trends in consumer technology. The 2010 CES drew more than 5,000 press, bloggers and financial and industry analysts.
The CES audit provides absolute verification of exhibition records, including direct on-site observation, examination of registration systems and testing of attendee records. Post-show analysis included direct confirmation sampling, reconciliation of attendance lists, elimination of duplicate names and verification of demographic data with the source of documentation.
Final audit numbers may differ from estimates given on-site due to additional badge pick-ups and badge reader reports. This audit complies with the industry standards for audits adopted by both the Exhibition and Event Industry Audit Commission (EEIAC) and the International Association of Exhibition and Events (IAEE).
The 2011 International CES is scheduled to run January 6-9 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Phubby–Shut your Ring Off and “Feel the Vibration” Contest Closed
The Wrist Cubby is a light weight comfortable solution for holding a cell phone. This unique item is functional, as well as a fashion accessory.
Oh my goodness, Women over 45 and their younger friends will just love this one! Perfect for Dad’s and Grads! Phubby’s are an innovative approach to carrying a cell-phone on your wrist. One can view incoming calls and even operate the touch screen directly through the fabric. The Sport version of the Phubby is manufactured from a breathable washable mesh fabric. Shut your potentially annoying ring tone OFF and “Feel the Vibration”. Never miss another call with your phone conveniently located on your wrist, not buried in your hand bag or back pack. A Phubby is particularly handy when your clothes don’t have a convenient pocket. Headphones easily attach through the pocket for listening to music while exercising for walkers, bikers, or runners. The extra pocket on the reverse side also can be used to hold a key, ID, Bluetooth or a few extra dollars.
Chief Blonde Remarks: I first saw Phubbys at the 2010 CES. Trust me once you see a Phubby, you will want one. Phubbys are just as fun and useful as they look. So light that I keep mine in my purse for handy use wherever I am. They come in every color imaginable AND you can just operate your device (Phone, Ipod, etc.) right through the fabric. For the blondes and women over 45, I must say I highly recommend this–no more missed calls or rifling around in your purse for your phone! At first, you feel a little like”George Jetson” but in a crowded room or during a sports activity, you so quickly see the Phubby’s value. $12.95 on at the Website

Apple Ipad–A Really Big Ipod Touch!
Apple iPod touch 32 GB (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL
which we use extensively for our blog including easy access at trade shows– it’s amazingly easy to use and surf the web. Reviewers are paralleling the Ipad with an Itouch–only bigger! As we think the Ipod Touch
is GREAT–we’d like to contrast the two. Exciting times in Consumer Electronics! Criticism so far seems to focus on the fact that it’s not SOOO powerful but given that it combines basic computer, e-reader, ipod, and probably soon camera/video–it will probably work wonders for our readers. We’ll try our hardest to get one to review, maybe even a Giveaway?!
Apple® today introduced iPad, a revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more. iPad’s responsive high-resolution Multi-Touch™ display lets users physically interact with applications and content. iPad is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds— thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook. iPad includes 12 new innovative apps designed especially for the iPad, and will run almost all of the over 140,000 apps in the App Store. iPad will be available in late March starting at the breakthrough price of just $499.
“iPad is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.”
iPad syncs with iTunes
Apple also announced the new iBooks app for iPad, which includes Apple’s new iBookstore, the best way to browse, buy and read books on a mobile device. The iBookstore will feature books from major and independent publishers.
Listen to Steve Jobs introduce it:
, netbooks
and smartphones
. As a result of the resounding success from the 2010 CES, exhibit space sales for the 2011 CES are already tracking ahead of 2010, with the 2011 International CES scheduled January 6-9 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Not only was our display extremely busy, but the people who came were genuinely interested in purchasing our products; in other words, they were true members of the trade. CES was truly the perfect springboard to what we are hopeful will be a strong 2010.”
,” said Daniel Kelley, senior director of marketing for the computer networking leader. “Our wide array of new solutions for the digital home – media players, home monitoring, energy efficiency products and Wi-Fi connectivity – not only drew huge crowds to our booth, but earned enormous media coverage and a ton of awards.”
