Great-looking screen. Programmable video recording. Downloadable cable guide. Content Portal offers movie rentals. Sturdy kickstand for optimal viewing. Streams from networked PCs.
Not terribly user-friendly. Not many major improvements over previous model. Wi-Fi no longer includedcosts extra. Internet browsing blown away by iPhone. Mysterious organization of music files.
Bottom Line
The 605 behaves more like a mini PC than a portable gadgetless fun than useful. It's a versatile performer, but the manual's a must-read.
the evolution of portable media players in recent years has been a joy to observe. players generally get smaller, yet offer better screens and abilities (the apple iphone comes to mindeven though it is not technically a pure entertainment device). the new archos 605 wifi, an update to last year's 604 wifi, is a (slightly) slimmer and shorter player with some new features. although the device no longer comes with a web browser, the 605 is a capable beast. it can record video and audio, surf the web, download movies using a new content portal feature, stream media from networked pcs, and do all the things a music and video player should as well. unfortunately, while the rest of the tech industry is gravitating towards more user-friendly interfaces, archos devices still behave more like mini pcs with must-read manuals than like intuitive and easy-to-navigate toys. the 605 does everything archos says it will, but using it can feel a little bit like work.

the archos 605 is a tad less attractive than the 604. physically, the previous model was all about brushed aluminum and sturdiness. the 605 replaces metallic buttons with cheaper-looking white plastic, and the brushed-aluminum design gives way to a lighter, less regal metallic look. regardless, the 605 is still a good-looking player, with the large 4.3-inch touch screen stealing the show. the button array down the right side of the player consists of the ok button (akin to enter or select), three navigational arrow buttons, a menu button, and a volume control. the two connections on the lower panel are proprietary; they enable a usb connection to a pc and docking to the dvr station unit, letting you record video to the player or watch video from the player on tv. on the left panel are three leds; one each for battery status (blinks green when fully charged), hdd (lit when files are played or being transferred), and tv (when images are being displayed on a television), as well as the headphone jack. the top of the player houses the power button, the tv/lcd-lock button (this needs to be pressed when viewing content on a tv), and on the flash model (but not the 30gb version i reviewed), an sd/mmc card slot for memory expansion. the back of the device also has a very useful kickstand to prop the 605 up at an angle for hands-free viewing.
the 605 comes with so-so earbuds, two styli, a usb connection cable, and a cloth protective caseagain, a bit less sexy than the 604's leather pouch. the omission of certain plug-ins, the plastic buttons, and the switch to a cloth case all seem to be part of an effort by archos to make its products more affordable. if you don't want the web browserdon't pay for it! (browsing will cost $30 extra). i almost believe that spin, but, speaking from experience, there is nothing more obnoxious than looking at a dead, unusable menu icon on your digital media device. no one wants to spend hundreds of dollars and walk away with the archos lite, and these cost-cutting measures could easily come across as having more to do with archos's bottom line than the consumer's.
here are the facts: a fully loaded 30gb archos 604 would have run you $550 at release, and the new 30gb 605, with all the plug-ins installed, comes to $400. in other words, archos is making cheaper players, which is good for most consumers, but not the folks for whom price was less of an object. basically, the 605 just doesn't look as nice, and there's work involved in getting it up to snuff.
file support for the 605 is well rounded. the unit plays aac files, including itunes plus files (but not apple lossless), as well as mp3 (all bit rates, including vbr), wav, and wma (including lossless). there's no audible, aiff, or ogg support. in the video realm, the 605 plays mp4, divx, xvid, and wmvbut no wmv hd files (though yet another future plug-in is supposed to take care of this). as for photos, i was able to view jpg, png, gif, and bmp files, and some fairly complex pdf documentsbut these crashed the player after i played with them!
the real improvements that the 605 brings to the table reside in its guts. the icons and screen look sharper and better, though the main screen layout is strikingly similar to past models. icons on the main screen are in two rows, and from the top are: video, music, photo, files, content portal, web, recorder, and widgets. the new features are useful, if not mind-blowing. the content portal function, for instance, gives users wi-fidownloadable movies and tv shows via cinemanow, among other things. the user, of course, still needs to pay for these downloads and set up an account. the widgets icon was not yet active at review time, but it will host yet another pay-for plug-in that will give users weather, sports, time, and dictionary support. archos also plans to add another plug-in: internet radio. we'll have to stay tuned to see how that one works out, too.next: portable dvr

More than 100 pathogens are associated with the house fly, including Salmonella, Staphylococcus, E. coli and Shigella. These pathogens can cause disease in humans and animals, including typhoid fever, cholera, bacillary dysentery and hepatitis. Sanitation is critical to controlling these pests, but accurate identification is essential for successful fly control. Here are some other things you should know about flies and fly controls:
Every time a fly lands, it sloughs through thousands of microbes. If a fly lands on food or utensils, customers may ingest germs that can trigger serious illness such as diarrhea, food poisoning, meningitis and bloodstream infections.
The housefly is one of the flies that is commonly referred to as the filth or garbage fly. These flies have earned this classification based on their egg-laying sites, which consist of offal, decaying organic material and corpses. While garbage flies play a vital role in breaking down dead matter, their feeding habits make them incredibly unsanitary, especially if they are present in large numbers.
Filth flies begin their four-phase life cycle when a fertilized female fly finds a suitable location for laying her eggs. As their name implies, filth or garbage fly populations require decomposing organic material to develop. In homes, they may lay their eggs in garbage cans, neglected food or the body of a small, dead animal such as a mouse or bird.
Eggs hatch into legless larvae known as maggots. Maggots feed on decaying organic matter, storing enough nutrition to last them through their upcoming pupal stage. Larvae than leave their egg site to find dry, dark locations within which to develop small, brown cases called puparia. Pupation lasts several days, depending on the species and conditions, during which time larvae grow legs, wings and compound eyes. The fly then emerges as an adult and is ready to feed and reproduce in a matter of hours to days.

Saving Our Backs
28 comments:
Dad's made a few log splitters for tractors (he used to sell the ones they made). Just be careful standing in front of them, a knotty piece can split with some force and fly out. We make sure we stand with a small guard by our legs when we use it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes I understand what you mean, will suggest to hubby he looks after my legs :-)Delete
Looking forward to seeing your goats. The log splitter looks great. We do not have one but our neighbour does, he has it set up on a trailer and brings it up to our place to split logs for us for the winter.ReplyDeleteReplies
Its good to have a neighbor like that :-)Delete
Very Nice!!! I picked up a 3 point log splitter last weekend cheap but I plan on re-selling it because I already have trailer mounted one. I actually have been funding a lot of my homesteading costs by dealing in used tractors and equipment. I don't generally post about that side of things because someone locally could pinpoint me easily if they cross referenced some of my ads and stuff.ReplyDeleteReplies
Its a shame you dont live this side of the pond a handy fella to know :-)Delete
Job done, what a difference to a back, time and energy!!! Nothing wrong with a bit of preloved. Xx looking forward to the goats (kids too)ReplyDeleteReplies
He now looks forward to logging again :-)Delete
We always borrow a log splitter when we have a heap to split much simpler than an axe. We could have bought secondhand but borrowing is even cheaper! All the equipment we had here was secondhand and now it's all been resold to give someone else a bargainReplyDeleteReplies
If equipment is looked after it will last many many years some of the best stuff is second hand :-)Delete
Log splitter eh? The farmer still does it all by hand for our stove - must point this out to him.ReplyDeleteReplies
Its easy enough for you to use :-)Delete
I'm for anything that saves you time and manual labour x looking forward to seeing your goats xReplyDeleteReplies
It gave use an extra day to get on with other things :-)Delete
My son has made two log splitters so far. They aren't upright though they lie on the ground. One of them is on wheels so you can tow it to a tree in the field. What make of tractor do you have? We have Ford tractors.ReplyDeleteReplies
Our little tractor is a Kubuto compact hubby saw it for sale just as we moved here, we dont have a need for a big tractor not to say he wouldnt like one :-)Delete
I have used these and an axe and even wedges in the past, I know which one I preferred. I like secondhand/preloved/previously owned whatever you like to call it. I hate paying VAT the only part of being a pub owner that I hated was being an unpaid tax collector. I have borrowed the odd bit of kit, just to see if it was viable to buy. The trouble is that the thing you need to borrow is just what the owner is using now.ReplyDeleteReplies
we had years of just axe and wedges there is still a need for wielding an axe occasionally, there are some things we will hire in rather than buy things that we would only use occasionally unless we saw it for a really good price :-)Delete
Have not got a log splitter here yet, don't need any wood cut as still do not have a working wood burning stove and fire. Anticipate a quick purchase of this item when fire and Rayburn are working!ReplyDeleteReplies
keep a look out for one in the meantime, we did 2 days of cutting and splitting in an afternoon working together great time saver :-)Delete
Looking forward to hearing about the goats, I am considering getting some when we move as goats cheese/milk seem to agree with me more than a lot of dairy these days. That looks a handy piece of kit, I'm sure the bearded one would love one :)ReplyDeleteReplies
You can get log splitters that work stand alone if you are doing logs then I would recommend one as we get older so do our backs :-)Delete
Anything to make life easier is a good thing. Looking forward to seeing the goats, I hope they've settled in.ReplyDeleteReplies
There is no point in wearing out body parts when there is a tool to help with the job :-)Delete
Great job! I am intrigued as to what a mole drill and the other things do! xxReplyDeleteReplies
The mole drill came with the tractor its used for making drainage, not something we have a need for but you never know :-)Delete
What a practical thing to buy - that will save you SO much hard work. I agree about buying good 2nd hand machinery - what you save on new prices, allows you to kit it out.ReplyDeleteReplies
The only thing we bought new was the forks we couldnt find any used and needed them to move pallets of fire wood, we know some-one who is selling up there small holding and we have earmarked some more attachments from Him :-)Delete
Thank you for taking the time and leaving a comment I do appreciate it, I may not always answer comments but I do read them all.

A Man On Omission
Call it payback. After years of cynicism regarding the whole "gluten-free" movement, my doctor recommended I cut gluten and sugar from my diet for the next two months. Gluten and sugar? Yikes! As hard as it's been to accept, I'm off to a successful start on my newly restricted diet. I've also been a man on a mission. I can live without gluten and sugar (I think), but life without my beloved beer? Unthinkable.
After a few stops on my quest for the perfect gluten-free brew, I arrived at Omission. Created by Widmer Brothers Brewing Company in Portland, Washington, with packaging designed by Seattle-based D.S. Phillips, Omission offers a heady blend of surprisingly tasty brew and refreshingly disruptive branding.
On a crowded shelf of densely illustrated, hipster-centric, micro-beer labels, Omission's design – open, inviting, and playfully type-driven – creates its own space, giving the eyes a chance to breathe (just like beer!). The wordplay is as whimsical as the type treatment, with the "O" in Omission taking flight, highlighting the brewer's "mission" to craft the perfect gluten-free beer.
With the explosion of the craft beer market, it's getting crowded out there. Branding-wise, a sameness creeps in, with everyone seemingly going after the same bearded customer. The gluten-free diet is spreading just as quickly, and between brewer and designer, Omission just may heat things up with their combustible combination of branding and beer.
One thought on "A Man On Omission"
Thank you for this post! As a beer lover myself, I'm always looking for new beer to loooove! 🙂

Golf and World War II intersect in more ways than you might expect, as our resident expert, John Strege, who wrote a book on the subject, can attest.
The popular Twitter handle @HistoryInPics highlighted one of those intersections on Thursday, tweeting a picture of some new rules enacted by Richmond Golf Club after bombs hit the course during the war.
Related: How golf reunited a pair of World War II vets
Among the more notable: "A ball lying in a crater may be lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole, without penalty," and "In Competitions, during gunfire or while bombs are falling, players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play."
Thank goodness for those. After all, it's not like there was a world war raging or anything. . .

Steve Anderson hosts this month's eclectic collection of well being care wonkery, with a decidedly Olympian effort. No matter what kind of insurance policy you intend to purchase—life, health, house, car, or two wheeler insurance amongst others, PolicyBazaar provides you a platform where you can compare and buy insurance policies in addition to save on premium.
The panel recommends that accountability for operating the Motor Car Accident Claims Fund (MVACF) be transferred to the Facility Association (FA), a non-profit group funded by car insurers in the provinces and territories that function personal insurance programs.
Saibaba et al. 19 studied that ladies feel that their lives were not as invaluable as their husbands, they perceive insurance as a instrument for threat coverage and never as a tax saving device, there was additionally a lack of information about appropriate insurance plans.
When you're used to considering of insurance by way of issues like auto or well being, you are used to being "the insured." You are additionally in the first loss position: that's what a deductible" is. It implies that in an insurable occasion, you'll take the primary loss up to your deductible quantity, and only if the losses exceed that limit will the insurer step up and take the remainder of it. MI does not work that approach (with the possible exception of captive reinsurance" points, which we'll speak about beneath).
The Lord Jesus himself, by therapeutic the leper, restoring sight to the blind man, speaking with the publican, saving the lifetime of the girl caught in adultery and demanding that the injured wayfarer be cared for, makes us understand that every human being, unbiased of his or her physical, religious or social situation, is worthy of respect and consideration.…

Zoom In and Out of Images with Photoshop Elements 10
Zooming in and out of images is a task you perform routinely while editing images in the image window, and also when working in other windows, such as the Camera Raw window and the Full Screen view. Zooming in is necessary when you want to precisely edit a section of an image or examine detail in a small area.
You then need to zoom out to see the edits as they compare to the entire image.
Zoom by clicking in Photoshop Elements 10
The Zoom tool appears on the Tools panel. To use the tool for zooming in and out, follow these steps:
Click the Zoom tool on the Tools panel to select it (or simply press Z).
Move the cursor, now loaded with the Zoom tool, to the image window and click the place where you want to zoom.
To zoom in more, click again; keep clicking until you zoom in to the magnification you want.
To zoom out of an image, keep the Zoom tool selected, hold down the Alt key (Option key on the Macintosh), and click.
The cursor changes to a magnifying glass tool with a minus (–) symbol.
Zoom to a selection in Photoshop Elements 10
Another way to change a view is to zoom to a target area in an image. Here's how:
Click the Zoom tool on the Tools panel.
Drag a box around the area you want to zoom.
Keep the mouse button pressed, and as you drag the mouse, a dashed rectangle marquee appears.
Move the rectangle marquee if you need to adjust the selection.
If you have a marquee drawn with the Zoom tool and the size appears just right, but you want to move the rectangle, press the space bar while you keep the mouse button pressed. You can drag the marquee rectangle anywhere in the image to zoom to the area defined by the rectangle boundary.
Release the mouse button.
The view zooms to fit the space defined by the marquee rectangle.

The opposition UPND has been advised not to take for granted its perceived growing popularity by breaching the law at will.
The Zambian Voice is concerned that the opposition party has now become too overzealous by thinking it can do whatever it wants whether within the law or not.
Executive Director Chilufya Tayali says his organization believes the UPND should instead sober up and avoid assuming that it has already won the 2016 general election.
In an interview with Qfm News, Mr. Tayali has suggested that if the UPND is convinced that it has garnered the necessary support to win next year's general elections, it should exercise patience.
Mr. Tayali has cautioned the UPND that it might just spoil its chances of forming government in 2016 if it continues on its current provocative path.
He says the UPND should be mindful that currently the PF is the party in government and has all the machinery at its disposal.

Fabulous Finds Friday
I was on the hunt for a cute bunny or two, and happened upon these two, just waiting for me at a local antique store...
But the bunnies seemed a little expensive, so I compromised and bought one, the mama bunny. Well, I ended up going back and buying the baby too, because the mama just looked so lonesome! They look much more happy together! :) Oh well, sometimes "splurging" is all right! Right? :)
If you recognize the china plate, that is because you have seen this pattern before, paired with my little cloche. I have a few of the dinner sized ones, too... I put the bunnies underneath a large cloche (a splurge from last spring), but it still seemed like it needed a little something extra. SO... I placed a green egg inside for good measure. I know, what do bunnies have to do with eggs...well, ordinarily, nothing. But at Easter, it seems to work! :)
I moved this into the bathroom, and put the flower/vase I showed you last week to a different spot. I wanted something "Easter/Spring" in this room...
The best part of this little spring ensemble is that it was very quick and simple, and I already had everything but the bunnies on hand...
I hope everything is well with all of you! I will be by this weekend to see how you are all doing! Here's to a fantastic weekend! :)

(Transcript from World News Australia Radio)
The Treasurer, Joe Hockey, has confirmed the government will stick to its election pledge to cut 43-point-one million dollars from legal aid services, including those accessed by many Indigenous Australians.
Darren Mara has the details.
(Click on audio tab above to hear full item)
The legal aid cuts will be spread across four main areas: legal aid commissions, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal services, community legal services and the Family Violence Prevention Legal Services.
Indigenous legal aid will have $13.4 million stripped from its budget.
Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey says it's part of returning the national budget to good health.
Among the organisations hardest hit will be the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Legal Services, or NATSILS.
Its chairman, Shane Duffy, says his group still hasn't had any direct explanation of why the slashes to funding were necessary.
He says it's a false economy, and will lead to an increase in child protection removal rates and nationwide job losses in Indigenous legal services.
"So really what it does do is remove – using the government catch-cry of 'Access to Justice' – it takes away the access to justice for the roles that those positions at a national, state and territory level undertook, and that was providing community legal education and informing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of their legal rights in the criminal, civil and family law areas. But also, it takes away the capacity of our organisations at a state, territory and national level."
Mr Duffy says the cuts will effectively force NATSILS to disband.
He also predicts a rise in Indigenous incarceration rates as a result.
Michael Smith is the national convenor of the National Association of Community Legal Services.
He says Indigenous Australians in need of legal help will be worse off under the cuts.
"We work with people all the time that without the right kind of legal help they get really bad legal outcomes. The Aboriginal legal services, in particular, do an excellent job helping people avoid jail and also help people with their legal rights across a whole range of issues in remote Australia and in the cities as well too. It's really hard to see how you can make a significant effort to lower incarceration rates while you're cutting those services."
The federal government says the cuts will only apply to the policy reform and advocacy arms of legal aid.
But during Senate Estimates hearings, the Attorney General's Department confirmed there was no way they would know just how it would affect frontline services.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion has told NITV the federal government is trying to minimise the impact of the cuts.
"Yes that is still a lot of money. Yes that is still cuts. And we don't believe that's now going to impact on frontline services. But we're going to continue to engage with legal services as we have been for the last few months to ensure that's the case."
Michael Smith, from Community Legal Centres, says the cuts will have to affect frontline services.
"Before the election the Coalition talked about a cut of that size to Indigenous legal services only but what they're clearly doing now is they're spreading those cuts across all four legal assistance providers. So rather than just going to the Aboriginal legal services, it's also going to community legal centres. We're looking at a $19 million cut over four years. It's going to the Family Violence Legal Prevention Service, which works with Aboriginal woman in particular and a smaller amount to the legal aid commissions. So they're spreading the cuts across all four legal assistance services and in all those cases we can't see how you can't make those cuts without frontline services being affected."
The federal opposition says now is not the time to be cutting legal aid funding to vulnerable communities.
Opposition Spokesman for Indigenous Affairs Shayne Neumann says the sector needs a funding boost, particularly in the areas of school attendance, youth mentoring and employment programs.
He's called the government's funding cuts "retrograde and conservative", and says similar sorts of cuts in Queensland carried dire consequences for Indigenous groups.
"What the conservative LNP government under Campbell Newman has done is cut funding in terms of prisoner assistance, it cut funding in terms of assistance to families where people are in prison, it cut funding to the drug courts and the Murri courts. What we've seen is a massive spike in incarceration rates, and not just for Indigenous people but across the country (the state)."

On Jan. 4, multiple reports were made concerning a red swastika spray painted on the side of Toys 'R' Us, located near Valley River Center. On Jan. 8, only hours after the Trump administration made known their plans to end temporary protection status for citizens of El Salvador, reports concerning graffiti representing anti-immigration sentiments were received by University of Oregon Police Department.
These incidents come only weeks after The Oregonian ran a front page news story detailing an underbelly of white supremacist groups in Lane County. The article states that over 60 hate crimes were reported within the county in 2017, 20 percent of these crimes were either vandalism or graffiti.
The 2016 Clery report, which requires schools to provide up-to-date crime statistics, makes no mention of hate crimes. Mary Meier, resource director for Lane Community College's student government, says that they are aware of any formal reports of hate crimes taking place on any LCC campus.
"There's been hearsay, but no official reports made," Meier said. "There's tons of reasons people stay silent in cases like this. People are afraid they won't be taken seriously."
Lane's Public Safety Office refused to comment.

As a young LDS missionary just wrapping up my two year stint at the New York Rochester Mission in 1980, on the final day before returning home, I took the time to meditate and pray about my service performed during the last two years. My prayer that entire last week was directed to Jesus, asking Him if my two years of "good works" had been acceptable to Him. I didn't really care too much about what people thought, I sought above all else His sanctioning and approval. His answer came to me in a very memorable dream the final night of my LDS Mission.
In my dream, I was hiking along a very well marked path – not unlike the yellow-brick road in the Wizard of Oz movie. As I journeyed, the path became cluttered with leaves and dirt and was not as easy to distinguish. Soon, I came to a fork in the trail in the middle of a dark forest of trees. Which way, I wondered? It was dark and stormy, and worse, there was no visible marker pointing the way. I wondered: Did both forks of the path lead to the same destination? If not, then which one should I take, or does it even matter?
While pondering over these questions, I then saw a light and felt a tremendously warm presence envelope me. Then the following words entered into my mind and heart in a very powerful way. "My Son – this path you see before you is your life. There will be many forks to choose from. Always choose the Right path, never the Left. If you choose the Right, you will remain safe, and never be lost. Finally, I promise you will find Me and My House at the end of your journey. There will be times when the path will be rocky and steep, and very difficult to travel. People you love and care about will yell at you, mock you, and tell you that you are going the wrong way. But don't despair, for I will be with you always. Remember, choose the Right Hand Path! choose the Right Hand Path! choose the Right Hand Path!" I woke up with those words echoing in my soul.
Looking back over my life since that night in 1980, I realize how He has always been there to help me find the Right Path when I have come to critical forks in the road. His Holy Spirit has whispered clear directions to my heart and mind, and has shown me the right fork vs. the left. This, I have now realized, is the very definition of the concept of GRACE – for I clearly have never done anything to deserve or in any way have earned this direction. Without a doubt, the biggest "fork in the road" I faced, was abandoning Mormonism in favor of complete and total acceptance of the living Christ and His Saving Grace; choosing a personal relationship with Him, (the Right Hand Path) and totally abandoning the false dogmas and teachings of the LDS Faith, which is clearly nothing more than an institutional structure of men (the Left Hand Path).
In the New Testament, Christ teaches His disciples the critical importance of this truth – choosing the Right Hand Path, and abandoning the Left Hand Path. In Matthew 25 we read: 31 ¶ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Recently, I was doing an updated internet search concerning the life of my maternal Great-Grandfather, a man by the name of Joseph Leland Heywood. JLH was quite an important man in Utah during the years 1850-1880. In addition to being a Mormon Bishop, he also was the Utah Territorial U.S. Marshall under Brigham Young, as well as the 1st U.S. Postmaster. He converted to Mormonism during the Nauvoo era, and was baptized in the frozen Mississippi River, where, according to his journal, "the Prophet Joseph assisted in cutting the ice" for the event.
Imagine my surprise when I came across a story on a BYU website entitled "A Fork in the Road" which involved my ancestor. The early JLH homestead is now the northeast corner of the LDS Conference Center! Supposedly, a rather "miraculous" event occurred there – as Gordon B. Hinckley and his family explained it in great detail. Like my 1980 dream in the mission field, this other dream also involved a road with two forks. However, it clearly showed that the LDS Church (Mormonism) is the LEFT HAND PATH, not the RIGHT HAND PATH!
Please take the time and review the entire story: http://www.byujourneys.org/blog/joseph-l-heywood-homesite-2/
Readers, why is this symbolism so significant you may ask? I submit it is because there is only ONE path and only ONE gate in which we must spiritually enter His presence! In what is my personal favorite chapter in the entire Bible (largely because of my dreams and life experiences) Matthew 7, Christ tell us: "3 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Then, I submit Christ teaches us a key about discerning who it is that too often leads us down the "broad way" and "wide gate" leading to destruction:
15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Remember, Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life" and no man comes to the Father, except through Him. (John 14:6) There is only ONE Savior of the World. There is One Way, only ONE RIGHT PATH! We really don't need "prophets" or "apostles" any more – because Christ Jesus is Messiah and He came and was the final and last "High Priest". We have HIM, His Comforter, and His divinely preserved scriptures to guide us. We truly need nothing else in order to find His Right Hand Path, and stay on it for life.
Finally, in conclusion, I realize many people reading this post are faithful LDS people. I don't mean to offend you. I do, however, mean to warn you. My solemn witness to you is that Mormonism is totally and completely the LEFT HAND PATH which is ruled by Satan. Consider the teachings of arch satanist Anton Lavey in his "Satanic Bible":
"Satanism is not a white light religion; it is a religion of the flesh, the mundane, the carnal – all of which are ruled by Satan, the personification of the Left Hand Path."
"The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey (1969)
Book Of Lucifer 3:paragraph 30
Did you get that dear Reader? Satanism is clearly a group of various false religions and dogmas that are "personifications" of the Left Hand Path just as taught by the story told by Hinckley concerning the "Fork in The Road". There is actually a large number of websites that instruct people on how to honor and follow the Left Hand Path. Joseph Smith embodied ALL of these aspects, not the least of which is sexual, carnal lust and eventually embracing the satanic practice of polygamy. For instance, Smith daily invoked the power of a Jupiter Talisman and other Black Magick devices throughout his life. (See Quinn's seminal book "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View" for details on this and other FACTS of Smith's life and witchcraft practices).
There is no doubt that Satan exists – he is every bit as real as Jesus of Nazareth. He can and does bring gifts of healing and carnal miracles to those who are unwittingly on his Left Hand Path heading to spiritual destruction. He can and does appear to men as an "angel of light" as he came to Joseph Smith. (2 Corinthians 11:14) He brings wealth and power to his minions who are promoting the Left Hand Path. He "endows" his initiates with "power in the priesthood throughout all generations of time, and throughout all eternity". This has ALWAYS been a Satanic blessing and endowment for thousands of years dating back to antiquity. Indeed, Satan's "emblem of priesthoods and power" has always been his green apron.
Finally, those who expose these eternal truths are often ridiculed, mocked and even hated by those who fear and/or follow the Left Hand Path.

Wow can you believe we're past halfway through the year? Me neither! Anyways, let me introduce you to my first ever Loves and Hates of the month!
The Body Shop Body Butter in Passionfruit. I bought this for £4.50 (including Membership Discount) because at the moment selected 200ml Body Butters are only £5 (they're normally £12.50!) This is so delicious and I just want to eat it up
Collection 2000's mineral foundation. This is my first ever mineral foundation and I think for the summer, I'm converted. This is such a lovely formulation and I am a freckled faced girl (and no, I don't like them) and whilst this doesn't cover them it does blur them so I'm left looking like I've been photoshopped, it really does make your face look flawless and glowing. Love it!
Cutting up men's tshirts :) Now I love a baggy tshirt, but they really are pretty much impossible to find. Primark has a few, but they always practically see-through and show your bra and they're always not quite right. Everywhere else just seems to have 'stretch' tshirts. I don't want fabric clinging to me in the middle of Summer! So I bought these two t-shirts from H&M for Men, and cut the neck off. The striped one was £2.99 and the nude behind was £3.99. I wear them off the shoulder and you can't see my bra through them, perfect!
Vintage-style handbags. Now I have quite a few of these and this is my newest addition, which went shopping with me today in Oxford Street :) I bought this off Laura's blog sale and it was a bargain and it has so many pockets!
Mixing lip colours. I've always loved doing this, I think I'm one of those people that can't stop when it comes to make up! This is Gosh Darling mixed with Revlon Colorburst in Coral. A lot of people say they find coral difficult to wear and whilst I think that this coral is very wearable, dabbing it over the top of Gosh Darling (or any other nude) gives you a subtle lip colour that isn't your average pink, yet it still remains not too out there!
Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Tutti Fruity. Now don't get me wrong I usually love these nail varnishes, but this one is just terrible. The colour is lovely yes, but it chips like nobody's business and it bubbles. Yes, bubbles. I currently have bumpy chipped nails, it really isn't a good look.
These two glosses I have to admit, I got free as at Boots and Superdrug at the moment you get one free when you spend over £4, but I still can't love them. The best thing about them is their names, but apart from that, they last a matter of seconds, they taste disgusting and no matter which one you use they all look the same colour.
Topshop Liner. You can read my full review of Topshop make up here, and if you've read it already you'll know I hate it. This liner is SO bad it's so difficult to use and the liner is terrible, really thin and yuck. The only thing I use this for is dipped in MAC Fluidline when I can't find my eyeliner brush but apart from that it's no use and I will never buy it again.
Benefit Bad Gal. You can read my Benefit Rant here and my speedy review of this here, I take it back, this liner is not fab and I would never ever buy this. It is a complete waste of money as it just doesn't do what it says it will and it doesn't last on your waterline, or anywhere else for that matter!
Hope you enjoyed reading this, sorry it was quite long, are you loving/hating any of these products?

Psychology of Colors in the Workplace: Why Chefs Wear White Uniforms
It is no secret that different colors can evoke particular emotions and reactions from the viewer. This psychology has been evident from the use of colors to portray emotions in cartoons and movies to the way we speak.
Commonly used phrases like, "red with rage" and "green with envy" are prime examples of a specific color's relationship to certain emotions.
Marketers understand a color's ability to trigger certain feelings and use this to their advantage. Seeing the color alone is not a strong enough signal to the brain to induce an action, however, choosing the right colors to match a brand's identity can certainly help nudge the consumer's thought-process in the desired direction.
Watch These Colors At Work
Through testing, surveys, and controlled experiments, scientists and marketers have been able to determine the influencing potential of certain colors.
Here are some of the more popular colors and their associations:
Associated with urgency and even increases appetite due to its association with aggression, which may have a stimulatory effect on the viewer.
Green is often times associated with tranquility, health, and nature. The use of green tends to bring about a calming and trusting effect.
The use of black can symbolize authority, stability, and power.
The color white tends to bring about feelings relating to purity, cleanliness, and safety. We'll further analyze below the use of white in chef's uniforms and the psychological effects that it can have.
The Chef's White Uniform: A Case Study
A traditional chef's uniform will consist of a sparkling white jacket with a matching, white hat.
From the times before marketers and scientists conducted studies on the psychology of colors, chefs had always worn white uniforms.
Why is that?
Since the beginning of time, it makes logical sense that white represents purity and cleanliness. It is absence of all any colors and can any discolorations or marks can be easily detected.
It also follows that a professional who is entrusted with the handling and preparation of your food is also portrayed with a sense of cleanliness.
White uniforms also entails a faith in the cleanliness of the chef because of white's inability to hide marks. Black cloth may be better at masking a dirty uniform, but can also be conceived as deceitful and untrustworthy.
It is important to note that not all chefs wear white uniforms. Many resort to a black or even red uniform to stand out from their sous chefs in a bustling kitchen.
Whether you need a uniform rental service or a uniform laundry service, Uniform Nations can help you find a reliable contractor near you!

Known Examples
Currently, there are four known forms of life that appear to be matching the definition of a ring species. The classic example is that of the Larus gull, which in 1925 was found to form a chain of varieties around the Arctic Circle by Jonathan Dwight, but lately doubts have arisen if this is an actual ring species or not. In 1938, Claud Buchanan Ticehurst hypothesized the Greenish Warbler spread from Nepal around the Tibetan Plateau, while adapting to each new environment, meeting again in Siberia where the ends could no longer interbreed. These and other discoveries led Ernst Mayr to first formulate a theory on ring species in his 1942 study Systematics and the Origin of Species. Also in the 1940s, Robert C. Stebbins recognised the Ensatina around the Californian Central Valley as a ring species. Finally in 2012-2014, the first example of a ring species in plants was found in a Spurge form around the Caribbean Sea.
Larus gulls
A classic example of ring species is the Larus gulls' circumpolar species "ring". The range of these gulls forms a ring around the North Pole, which is not normally transited by individual gulls.
The European Herring Gull (L. argentatus argenteus), which lives primarily in Great Britain and Ireland, can hybridize with the American Herring Gull (L. smithsonianus), (living in North America), which can also hybridize with the Vega or East Siberian Herring Gull (L. vegae), the western subspecies of which, Birula's Gull (L. vegae birulai), can hybridize with Heuglin's gull (L. heuglini), which in turn can hybridize with the Siberian Lesser Black-backed Gull (L. fuscus). All four of these live across the north of Siberia. The last is the eastern representative of the Lesser Black-backed Gulls back in north-western Europe, including Great Britain.
The Lesser Black-backed Gulls and Herring Gulls are sufficiently different that they do not normally hybridize; thus the group of gulls forms a continuum except where the two lineages meet in Europe.
However, a recent genetic study entitled The herring gull complex is not a ring species has shown that this example is far more complicated than presented here (Liebers et al., 2004): this example only speaks to the complex of species from the classical Herring Gull through Lesser Black-backed Gull.[improper synthesis?] There are several other taxonomically unclear examples that belong in the same superspecies complex, such as Yellow-legged Gull (L. michahellis), Glaucous Gull (L. hyperboreus), and Caspian Gull (L. cachinnans).
Greenish Warbler
The Greenish Warbler (Phylloscopus trochiloides) forms a species ring, around the Himalayas. It is supposed to have spread from Nepal around the inhospitable Tibetan Plateau, to rejoin in Siberia, where the plumbeitarsus and the viridanus appeared to no longer be able to mutually procreate.
The Ensatina salamanders form a ring round the Central Valley in California.
Euphorbia tithymaloides
In 2012-2014, Cacho and Baum described the first example of a ring species in plants. They showed the Euphorbia tithymaloides is a group within the Spurge family, that has reproduced and evolved in a ring through Central America and the Caribbean, meeting in the Virgin Islands where they appear to be morphologically and ecologically distinct.

Clinton Campaign Manager Unable to Answer Questions on 'Hillary Coverup Operation'
TAPPER: There was a document dump on Friday, that we learned from the FBI that an IT contractor managing Hillary Clinton's private email server made reference to the "Hillary coverup operation" in a work ticket. He used those words after a senior Clinton aide asked him to automatically delete emails after 60 days. This IT worker certainly sounded like he was covering something up, no?
MOOK: Look, Jake, I'm — first of all I'm glad you asked that question. A lot of this stuff is swirling around in the ether. It's important to pull back and look at the facts here. The FBI did a comprehensive and deep investigation into this. And at the conclusion of that, FBI Director Comey came out and said to the world that there was no case here, that they have no evidence of wrongdoing on Hillary's part.
TAPPER: So what's the "Hillary coverup operation" that the IT worker was referring to?
MOOK: Well, well, but this is — but this is — this is the perfect example of what's going on here. Republicans on the House side are selectively leaking documents for the purpose of making Hillary look bad. We've asked the FBI to release all information that they've shared with Republicans so they can get the full picture. But again, I would trust the career professionals at the FBI and the Justice Department who looked into this matter, concluded that was no case, than I would Republicans who are selectively leaking information.
5 comments:
Seems to me that they have already trusted the "career professionals" at the FBI.
That's why she isn't in prison right now.
They like having a career. And REALLY like staying alive.
Hoover would be shooting FBI agents himself if he could see what they've become today.
Keep cheering.
- September 26, 2016 at 5:11 PM
The blame game continues amid Hillary's crimes. This is how corrupt the federal government has become which is why we need to clean house by electing Trump.
- September 26, 2016 at 7:40 PM
It's both annoying and revealing when Hillary's gang responds with, "...first of all I'm glad you asked that question," which is always a preface to not answering the question.
- September 26, 2016 at 8:13 PM
Hoover? Ha.

text: Clementines are hybrids of Mediterranean citrus and sweet orange, and are very similar in taste to tangerines. They're less acidic than ordinary oranges, are easier to peel and typically don't have seeds—all in all, the perfect supersweet snack. Clementine juice is a great way to sweeten a cocktail, and the citrusy segments make a sweet addition to green salads. One of our favorite recipes showcasing this citrus is this tangy pound cake, which has zest in the batter, syrup and glaze, and is topped with candied peel for the ultimate clementine dessert. Whether you're looking for a sweet or savory approach, F&W's guide has all the recipes you need.

The 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 has just been announced, so there is less information which are regarded to the release date of the car. The wagon is certainly going to appear by 2019 as they stated that they are going for a release by then. Judging on how the pictures look and also confirmed by the current information, this is a possibility for the car and we might just get to see it by then. The Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 is an icon, as it remains hilariously similar to the military vehicles that inspired it four decades ago. As expected, the 2019 G Wagon 4×4 is expected to hit showrooms as a carryover model. After a long time, we are finally looking at a fully remodeled 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 car.
This is not just a mere updated where the wagon will change some pieces and make things work together well and better, this is a full on generation change that we are talking about. This model is a very popular vehicle and has been around for almost 40 years and is one which deserves a change of this proportion. The G Wagon 4×4 is also known as the G-Wagon or the Geländewagen and has served for many different uses already. Besides being the go to vehicle for the German army, it was also used to battle different kinds of terrains all around the world and even got to appear on some sophisticated streets in California. This model is frequently also a vehicle of choice for the rich and the famous thanks to its size and ability.
By looking at the test mule for the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 we can immediately notice that the car has been widened. The model gets a dimension change which will increase the interior spacing for the car. The front end of the car expands outward from a narrow grille and there is some extra width that is added to both sides of the headlights. The full width begins just before the A-pillars but still manages to keep the iconic look of the G-Wagon we are already accustomed to. The entire vehicle will retain its iconic looks and design. The fender flares are still there and also the low beltline. The flat side glass and roof have been retained and the nearly vertical windshield will be provided here as well. The rear end features the same kind of design with the spar tire added there as well.
The changes brought are certainly going to address the headlights and add some LEDs, and also spotted are the additions of tow hitch, which means that the utilitarian nature of the car is also kept. The inside has not been revealed so far for the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4, but we can assume that it is going to get a treatment as the current model has. There are going to be all kinds of interior accommodations featured on the inside. The current one borrows all kinds of design cues and features from the S-Class and E-Class sedan models. We can expect the same to be done for the 2019 but certainly far less swoopy than the featured cars. We can also expect that the standard front bucket, rear bench design be utilized here as well which will consequently provide more room in the cargo bay behind the second row of seats.
Even with the added inside spacing, the third row of seats will probably not be added. The dimensions for the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 are going to be changed. But the currently known information is that the car is going to be wider. This was not a problem for the past vehicle and it always had a great interior spacing and design which was appreciated. But with the new kind of a setup for this vehicle we can expect the car to be wider and bring us added inside comfort. Also confirmed is the trunk capacity that also gets a few added nods as well. The new 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 will hopefully update the safety settings for the car.
The previous version was not tested by either the IIHS or the NHTSA, but based on the weight and the lack of active safety features it did not post such grand numbers. As far as the standard equipment is concerned radar cruise control and blind-spot monitors, as well as a backup camera and parking sensors. It helps with the rear visibility for the car which is not all that great to be honest. The latest version of the G Wagon 4×4 will update the features and we are hoping to get a much better safety rating compared to the last one.
It is predicted that the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 will add some new powertrain options. The ones that are going to be included are certainly both diesel and gasoline variants. In the US we can expect that a 4.0-liter biturbo V-8 gets to be utilized. This engine is supposed to make 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but until the release date of the car it might be updated to add even more power that currently. The engine will be combined with the Mercedes' seven-speed automatic transmission and will come with 4WD and full-time AWD system with low range gears.
Using the base version of the engine the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 was able to accelerate to 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds, while the G63 AMG version achieved that in 5.4 seconds. As we only have the information that the base engine is making a comeback, but with updated properties, we can also assume that the current rate might be shed by a few tenths of a second. With regards to fuel economy specs for the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 we are expecting them to be more or less the same. There are no current indications for the model to shed weight and it will give us almost the same kind of EPA rating. With the current model making an EPA record of 13 mpg city, 14 highway, 13 combined, with the current engine those specs might return.
The prices are certainly going to increase for the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 car. This is a new generation model so it is clear to assume that this one is going to get a price bump. The current lineup of G-Wagon models starts with a price of $119,900 for the G550, $139,000 for the AMG G63 and the top pick is the AMG G65 and a price of $217,900, all given as a base MSRP price. The new 2019 version is predicted to start at $125,000. The SUV segment will welcome the 2019 Mercedes G Wagon 4×4 Class with open hands, but there you will find some already present models that might thwart the opportunity of getting to be in the top of the segment. Cars like Land Rover Range Rover and Lexus LX570 are some that we are used to seeing in the luxury segment and provide a big obstacle. But the legendary name of the G Wagon will give it its own edge for sure.

Former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) yesterday disapproved of President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) strategy to suggest the leaders' meeting in the APEC forum as an occasion to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平).
Whether Taiwan's president is able to be present at an APEC summit is not only contingent on China, but also on a decision by all APEC members, Lee said.
Lee made the remarks in Taipei yesterday in response to reporters' questions about the possibility that Ma might meet with Xi at this year's APEC summit to be hosted in Beijing.
Since APEC began to hold its informal leaders' meeting in 1993, Taiwan has never sent its president to the summit, instead sending representatives to act as envoys.
Lee said he perceived it to be more important that Taiwan focuses on raising its economic stature so that all APEC members would invite Taiwan's president to attend APEC summit rather than focusing on China's opposition to a Taiwanese leader's participation.
Meanwhile, Lee again addressed the rumor that he had sought to meet with then-Chinese president Jiang Zemin (江澤民) at sea when he was president.
The idea of him meeting with Jiang was suggested by Evergreen Group founder Chang Yung-fa (張榮發), who said that such a meeting could take place on an Evergreen ship because the group was planning to build a wharf as its base in China, Lee said.
Lee said he rejected Chang's idea to his face, partly because Chang's motivation was to make more profits for Evergreen Group in China and partly because Jiang, responsible for firing missiles off Taiwan's coast in 1995 and 1996 (known as the Taiwan Strait missile crisis) had "never been nice to Taiwan."

Slam Dunk! Let out expert tipster Andrew-Bets mark your card for big Basketball game BC Žalgiris Kaunas v FC Barcelona Bàsquet from tipster Andrew-Bets. Get it HERE
"Zalgiris Kaunas and Barcelona are to play this game with different moods. For the Lithuanian champions, this game is a friendly match for pride and also a farewell to the Euroleague season. For Barcelona, this is a very important match, one of the most important in the season. If Barcelona loses, its destiny will be decided in the games including Real Madrid, Brose Baskets, and Khimki Moscow. Truth be told, miracles need to take place to see Barca exiting after the Top 16 stage, but let's wait and see. Personally, I don't believe Zagiris can get a result in this game. Zalgiris' current morality is as low as the Mariana Trench. The most successful Lithuanian club ever doesn't have proper playmaking, leadership, and is the worst shooting club in the tournament from beyond the three-point line. I think they will put enough to end up the Euroleague campaign on a high note in front of their fans but that might be just not enough still to triumph over Barca. The Catalan side has been playing great basketball over the last month, and they will come to Kaunas full of motivation to win and keep the third place in the final Top 16 standings of Group F. Zalgiris will probably start the match brightly as they usually do playing in Kaunas but they will run out of fuel in the second half – Zalgiris is just not fit and good enough these days to to continue rough battling for 40 minutes against teams with long benches. Although playing in Zalgiris Arena is never an easy task for a visiting team, Barcelona is very likely to win convincingly in this game, I reckon."

Swapping one sugary treat for another
Having spent about 15 years of her career working for Coca-Cola, it is thought Bríd Drohan-Stewart will be leaving the company to take on the role of general manager of marketing at Cadbury in New Zealand.
This move will see her replacing Iaan Buchanan, who left Cadbury earlier this year. Mondelez International, the parent company of Cadbury, was contacted in regard to this change, but StopPress is still awaiting a reply.
Drohan-Stewart's most recent role was at Coca-Cola in the UK, where she was initially brought in to cover for Zoe Howorth, who last year left the company to take a year's sabbatical.
While filling in for Howorth, Drohan-Stewart oversaw a marketing portfolio of 21 brands, including Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite and Fanta.
But this was not the first time that Drohan-Stewart had worked with these drinks. Previously, while working as the marketing manager of sparkling in Auckland, she familiarised herself with many of these brands during a three-year stint.
Drohan-Stewart's career with Coca-Cola extends back to 1999, when she first joined the company as its head of consumer promotions in Ireland.
Her career with Coca-Cola was punctuated by stints at BD Activations, where she worked for almost two years as a director, and at Heaton, where she served for 11 months as the head of marketing.
Alison waves goodbye to Saatchi
Off the back of their announcement to relocate Saatchi & Saatchi Wellington to the new Clyde Quay Wharf, Saatchi & Saatchi chief executive Nicky Bell recently confirmed the departure of creative director, Mitch Alison, who has been with the agency for a year.
"Our two offices now work really closely together across several major clients and we actually do our best work when this is the case. In particular, the Wellington creative teams really enjoy being part of the wider Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand team under Antonio's leadership, so the fluid movement between offices makes sense for us and our clients," says Bell.
"Mitch is keen to explore opportunities in a bigger market so when we caught up recently it was really a mutual decision to part ways at this time. We thank him for his hard work over the last year and wish him every success on his new adventure."
At this stage, it is still unclear where Alison will take his career.
In related news, Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand has also hired Kassi Horn in the newly created role of social interaction manager. She will be working with teams across the agency, helping to inform social strategy and planning.
Horn is joining the Auckland office from Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles, where she worked as the social communications supervisor for Toyota USA for over two years, developing multi-channel content strategies to support launch campaigns and brand work.
Steinlager pledges further allegiance to the All Blacks
Steinlager has announced the renewal of its support of the All Blacks with a deal, which will extend its sponsorship through both the 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cups.
(Taken from Stuff.co.nz)
This coincides with the step up in sponsorship of the All Blacks Sevens team, which will see Steinlager as the official sponsor of the team as they strive for gold at the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.
The agreement includes an extensive partnership for the 2017 British & Irish Lions Tour of New Zealand and also secures naming rights for Steinlager Series fixtures scheduled for 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020.
"Steinlager is our longest serving sponsor and we would like to thank them for their unwavering support since 1986," says New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew.
Rory Glass, managing director at Lion was equally enthused at the prospect of the contract extension.
"This sponsorship will take Steinlager's support of the All Blacks through to well over 30 years, making it one of the longest running sponsorships in New Zealand sport," he said.
"During this time rugby has turned professional, the All Blacks have played 382 tests, won two Rugby World Cups, two test series against the British and Irish Lions, three Northern Hemisphere Grand Slams, 20 Bledisloe Cups and 12 Tri Nations/Four Nations trophies. They've had their first series victory in South Africa and most recently secured the first unbeaten season of the professional era."
Michele Driscoll joins BrandWorld
Shortly after announcing the release of its new masthead, Brandworld has appointed Michele Driscoll as a production manager.
A former executive producer of the Shopping Channel, Driscoll has fine-tuned her production skills by working on a range of television shows, including Popstars, Hell's Kitchen and Good Morning.
"We are delighted to welcome Michele to our growing team, says Rachael Weaver, BrandWorld's senior producer. "BrandWorld prides itself on employing people with real programme-making and marketing skills; people who really know what it's like to tell a story that resonates with audiences and Michele is an experienced addition to that commitment."
Driscoll says she was attracted to BrandWorld by its reputation for innovation and long-term client relationships.
"BrandWorld is always one of a handful of partner companies regularly mentioned at events like the TVNZ New Zealand Marketing Awards. People know it for its mastheads, Family Health Diary and Discover etc, but few know about the wealth of tailored products it produces. Yet these are some of the most compelling marketing content you can see on television today," she says.
An army of young guns
Nine top graduates from universities around New Zealand have been chosen from hundreds of hopeful applicants to join the 2014 Clemenger Talent Programme.
(Left to right: Matt Barnes, Kate Macdonald, Bobby Innes, Will Riley, Alex Plummer, Katie Nimon, Carmen McDougall, Michael Doolan. Not present: Alex Smith)
In its fourth year, the intensive nine-month programme will see the graduates gain hands-on communications experience across the Clemenger Group's leading companies in Auckland and Wellington.
The 2014 graduates are:
- Kate Macdonald, University of Canterbury
- Carmen McDougall, University of Auckland
- Will Riley, University of Auckland
- Matt Barnes, Victoria University
- Michael Doolan, University of Canterbury
- Bobby Innes, Otago University
- Alex Plummer, AUT
- Alex Smith, AUT
- Katie Nimon, Massey University
All nine started last month and will rotate through Clemenger Group companies over a three-month period, gaining an insight into the wide variety of skills needed to run a successful communications business (including advertising, public relations, media, retail marketing, experiential marketing, direct and digital marketing). Candidates will then be offered a six-month placement in the company that suits them best, and will be paid an entry-level salary for this period.
Jim Moser, CEO of Clemenger Group says the company is happy to support the future of the industry with a programme that aims to put graduates in a position where they can be offered a full-time role within the Clemenger Group at the end of the nine-month programme.
"We are proud to say that 32 of the industry's brightest young stars have taken part in the Clemenger Talent Programme since it was founded in 2011. We have had a remarkable success rate with the programme to date, with 81 per cent of participants being offered a job in one of the Clemenger Group companies after completion," he says.
A trio arrives
RAPP, which takes care of much of DDB's direct marketing, has boosted its team by employing three new recruits.
Alex Leece has joined the company as an account director, Catherine Chi as a senior digital designer and Shweta Tomar as an account manager.
RAPP managing director Robert Limb says it has been a great start to the year.
"Alex, Catherine and Shweta will help us deliver quality work solutions for newly won business and add to the innovative culture we pride our business on," says Limb.
Joining RAPP from .99, Leece has managed multi-channel projects for various brands, including Mazda and Farmers. In his new position at RAPP, he will focus on Telecom client relations.
Chi joins RAPP from FCB where she worked on clients including Air NZ, Vodafone and Westfield. Originally trained as a graphic designer, Chi eventually shifted her focus toward all things digital. In her capacity as a senior digital designer, she will work across RAPP's complete client roster, including Telecom, Westpac, Milford Asset Management and Fly Buys.
Tomar, who previously worked at Ogilvy, JWT and McCann in India, joins the agency after completing postgraduate studies in business at AUT.
Extending the brand
Voice-over agency Word of Mouth has expanded its business dealings by opening a new talent management division, Represent Management.
Alana Schultheis, the head of the agency, says that the team saw and opportunity to diversify the offering and develop the brand.
"We want to create an agency that caters for each individual person and their needs as a performer. To tailor our work based on what suits them, instead of offering a generic brand", she says.
Schultheis adds that it was a natural progression for Word of Mouth, given that the agency is already viewed as a respected voice talent agency in New Zealand.
