20 December 2018
Its been a bumper year for W. Working across the intersection of consumer, culture and commerce we've delivered 'thumb stopping' campaigns that have made a real difference. From creating a blockbuster Christmas campaign for British Airways, Cannes Lions wins for Project 84, busting World Chess into sports and lifestyle pages, to sending Piers Morgan to hell in a Spurs shirt, here's just some of the campaign highlights across our Creative, Brand, Digital, Enterprise and Talent divisions.
Seeing as it's the season to be jolly, we'll kick-off with our blockbuster Christmas campaign for British Airways, 'A Very Kevin Christmas'. Inspired by Home Alone 2, we took four inspiring children on a surprise trip to New York to 'live like Kevin'. They also got the chance to star their own festive movie trailer, as well as a six minute film about their adventure and inspiring back stories.
This is our first year as the pro-bono PR partner for men's mental health charity CALM and what a way to start. Our Project 84 work with This Morning and Adam&EveDDB generated 200,000 signatures demanding government action on the issue of male suicide. The government responded by appointing its first suicide prevention minister and saw W pickup SEVEN Cannes Lions, including two Golds, in June.
We also had a grand night at the PR Week Awards, where we brought home three gongs, received a high commendation and nominated for agency of the year. Campaign wins included Innovative Use of Social & Digital Media and Best Not-For-Profit for CALM's L'Eau De Chris, and Best Financial Services campaign for MoneySuperMarket for Freddo-nomics. And, don't we brush up well!
To launch PG Tips' new Tasty Decaf and Dairy Free we appointed Craig Revel Horwood as the brand's new Head of Taste for an integrated PR and social campaign, including this digital ad created in-house at W. Sales targets were smashed, darling!
With the simple addition of three lion emojis we rebranded 50 Three stores nationwide to show support for the England team during Russia 2018. The Drum described it as 'the most blatant piece of ambush marketing we've seen during the World Cup'. And, yes, when England bowed out in the semis even our emojis were reduced to tears!
On a more woke football theme, W launched #WeAreFemaleFans with Carabao and This Fan Girl. Fed up of hyper sexualised images of young women (invariably Swedish or Colombian!) dominating Google search for 'female football fans', we captured five images of real female football fans at Wembley just before the start of the World Cup. In the space of four weeks created a social movement and a shedload of national TV and lifestyle coverage to drive our images to the top row on Google Images by the time England played Panama.
W gaveWorld Chess a 2.0 contemporary makeover, managing media for the global finals held in London. Thanks to a monumental build-up which included a five page Times Magazine feature on 'the Beckham of chess' Magnus Carlsen and national and global TV and print features, we turned an initial 'not for us' response from sports editors into lead stories in their pages for the final – including front page of the Financial Times!
Our Carabao social team made the nation's dream come true when we sent Piers Morgan to Hell. To maximise interest in the semi-final draw for the Carabao Cup we enlisted outspoken Arsenal fan Piers Morgan and former Spurs star Peter Crouch, but with a wicked wager. With Spurs beating Arsenal playing in the quarter final on the night of the draw, Piers had to conduct the draw in a Spurs shirt and share the image on social media.
When Pot Noodle fan Alexandra Kane left Love Island, we quickly coupled her up with a new beau: Pot Rice. Launched on her Instagram channel, this digital ad racked up 1m views in the first 12 hours, cleaned up national and lifestyle coverage, and won The Grocer's award for Best Brand Launch of 2018.
Come on, admit it. Every agency brainstorm has a 'Why don't we do something with Stormzy?' moment. Well, we actually did. W worked with Spotify Premium to host Stormzy's 25th birthday. We welcomed Stormzy's biggest fans, fellow artists, and invited media to fly on a private charter flight on #MerkyAirways. Their final destination was a luxury villa in Menorca for a party that was covered in the likes of Vogue, Clash and Dazed.
We weren't just celebrating Stormzy's birthday. After successfully delivering projects for Spotify's Who We Be brand across live events and podcasts, W have been appointed to handle a wider brief in 2019. W will now handle ongoing media relations across Spotify's content-led exclusives and strategic content focusses, including Spotify Singles, artist partnerships, and podcasts.
To raise awareness of the partnership between our client Unilever and the Trussell Trust we enlisted Professor Green to spend a day working as a volunteer at his local food bank in Lewisham. The initiative was covered in The Sun, Metro and made the front page of The Independent.
With many young adults either refusing to leave the nest or returning back home, our MoneySuperMarket team cleaned up with coverage with our Hotel of Mum and Dad campaign. Our research revealed 4.5m bedrooms are occupied – with only an average contribution of £6 a night by their guests.
It's been a year of huge growth and high impact results for our corporate, media, tech and SME division, W Enterprise: Announced the Evening Standard Progress 1000 List of London's most influential people; Opened the Ministry of Sound's revolutionary private members club and co-working space; Led on Trouva's 10 million USD series A funding announcement, securing p.1 of the Sunday Times' Business supplement"
W Enterprise supported in the launch of the London Office for Rapid Cybersecurity Advancement (LORCA). The then Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Matt Hancock, and the ex-head of GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, opened the centre and coverage included interviews in New Statesman, profiles in Forbes and case studies in Bloomberg. LORCA was placed firmly on the map as leading the UK's fight against cyber related threats.
To launch the new coach travel booking app from Trainline, we teamed up with producer Naughty Boy to create a killer track 'via M40'. The musical piece lasts exactly 151 minutes to cover the entire journey from London – Birmingham and was artfully crafted using sounds captured from in and around a coach journey.
We started with Christmas, so we'll close with Christmas. W's Brand and Talent divisions made Winter Wonderland the number one family destination during the festive period. We started with a red-carpet celebrity preview night with appearances from Robbie and Ayda Williams, Tamara Ecclestone, and a subsequent visit from the Beckhams. Broadcast coverage included The One Show, X Factor, Sky Sports, ITV News, and six weather broadcasts on Good Morning Britain.
There's plenty more we could've featured, but that's it and thank you for actually scrolling all the way to the end. You get a gold star!
See you in 2019.

With New Center Coming, Remembering The Southern Home For Destitute Children
The South Philadelphia Branch of the Free Library was recently leveled to make way for construction of the Community Health and Literacy Center, a wellness and educational partnership between Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, FLP, and the City. Long before the former library's tenure at Broad and Morris Streets, an orphanage claimed the large rectangular block from 1891 to 1960.

Our Story
Pumpkin Theatre is among the longest standing theatre companies in Baltimore and is the area's premiere source for Children's Theatre. Indeed, our mission is to Entertain, Educate, and Empower young children with our theatrical productions and education programming.
Pumpkin Theatre is among the longest standing theatre companies in Baltimore and is the area's premiere source for Children's Theatre. Indeed, our mission is to Entertain, Educate, and Empower young children with our theatrical productions and education programming.
Founded as a project in 1967 by Sister Mary Catherine Engers, Pumpkin Theatre began its journey at the College of Notre Dame. Cinderella being the inaugural production, the company took its' name from the pumpkin that is magically transformed into a golden carriage. The fledgling company started gaining notoriety and found their first home in Roland Park. There have been many changes over the years. Nearly three decades were spent in residence at St. Timothy's School in Baltimore County where a three hundred seat theater accommodated Pumpkin's growing audience.
Pumpkin Theatre presents plays for kids, but we make it an enjoyable experience for the entire family. Some of our parents and grandparents came to Pumpkin when they were children and now they want to share that experience to the new generation of young theatre goers. We produce some of the world's most familiar stories, sometimes with a unique perspective, but always with positive messages. Our stories provide lessons in empathy and knowing right from wrong. Often a Pumpkin Theatre performance is a child's first experience seeing a live theatrical production. In addition to popular tales like Peter Rabbit, Sleeping Beauty, and Winnie the Pooh, Pumpkin Theatre presents new works by local playwrights, including the world premieres of Rainbow Crow, and The Girl with Diamonds in Her Eyes.
Pumpkin Theatre has also developed an extensive educational component over the years. Traditionally, Pumpkin offers spring and fall classes as well as summer camps. Introduction to Acting, Comedy, Musical Theatre, and Play Writing classes have all helped our students build confidence, and learn to work together while having a joyful experience.
Now Pumpkin Theatre is coming back to Baltimore City as we partner with the amazing Single Carrot Theatre this spring with Little Red Riding Hood. Show dates are May 12 and 19 at 1pm & 3pm.

Today's featured designer is Chip Beauvais, designer of the games Smoke and Mirrors and ChromaCubes. He also runs a game on Twitter, A Little Alliteration, which can be found @LitAlliteration. He plays the saxophone, is a father, and encourages supporting creators with Creator Appreciation Day via social media. He'll also be joining us at Granite Game Summit in May.
Three random facts about Chip:
- He read the same book to his daughter every night for over a year.
- Since 2010, He's given up a specific food for an entire year. (This year it is french fries.)
- He sometimes levitates.
Questions by Kimberly Bullock (KB), answers by Chip Beauvais (CB).
Three game design related questions:
KB: What has been the most rewarding aspect of designing games?
CB: While I really value the relationships I've established since I began designing games, the most rewarding part is watching people enjoy playing my game. Sometimes, the rules and mechanics fade away, and the game becomes a battle of wits between friends, or a shared storytelling experience. Bringing some fun into the world isn't always easy, but the results always make me smile.
KB: How does the design process start for you, e.g., a new mechanic, a theme, a character?
CB: Inspiration can come from anywhere: a mechanic that I want to explore, a component restriction (e.g. a 4x game using only 18 cards), or a punny title (Seven Card Stud). Early in the design, however, I try to identify who the game is for (see my psychographic profiles), and the type of experience that player is looking for. There are a lot of decisions to be made while designing a game, and this guidance is invaluable.
KB: Is there one type of game you would really love to design but just aren't sure about?
CB: Not one, there are many.
- I'd like to design a co-op game, but I don't find them engaging as a player. I'd like to design the tabletop equivalent of Rock Band.
- I'd like to design a game that gives players a cover of anonymity, so they can confess socially unacceptable thoughts to their friends, and find out that others have those thoughts as well.
- I'd like to design a nonviolent miniatures game.
- I'd like to design a deck-building game that emulates a slot machine.
My main challenge is deciding which of these ideas is most promising, and which I can find playtesters for.
Three questions that are just for fun:
KB: Aside from boardgaming, what is a hobby you enjoy?
CB: I enjoy making music. I've played alto saxophone in a town concert band, a jazz band, and I've lead a small group to raise money for the Salvation Army around Christmas. I haven't been able to participate in these groups as much as I'd like since the birth of my daughter, but I'm looking forward to rejoining them again soon.
KB: What is your favorite New England vacation spot?
CB: Cold Springs Resort, in New Hampshire. My wife and I own a timeshare week there in May (two weeks before G2S!), and we love it. We always go to Hart's Turkey Farm and Funspot at least twice during our stay. We'd love to visit with some local gamers while we're there.
KB: What is your favorite animal, and why?
CB: You'd expect me to say sheep, wouldn't you? And sheep are pretty awesome. While my wife and I have also had guinea pigs and hedgehogs, I'm going to say my favorite animals are bunnies. They don't talk much, and their noses are really cute when they are eating.

GoogleTV not yet ready for prime time
Google is leaping into the television set-top box business this holiday season with its new GoogleTV software platform. After trying one of the first models a few days, I'd say it isn't yet worth the $300 to $1,400 that GoogleTV systems cost.
Seattle Times staff columnist
Google is leaping into the television set-top box business this holiday season with its new GoogleTV software platform.
After trying one of the first models a few days, I'd say it isn't yet worth the $300 to $1,400 that GoogleTV systems cost.
There are plenty of cheaper and simpler options if you want to connect your TV to the Internet and watch Netflix and YouTube videos.
Technophiles wanting their TVs to have the power of a PC may be frustrated by the limitations of GoogleTV. It's nowhere near as polished and flexible as the Media Center software built into most versions of Microsoft Windows, and it lacks the digital video-recording features of Media Center.
It's too bad because I just love the remote control on the GoogleTV system I've been testing, the $299 Logitech Revue.
The remote is a light but sturdy wireless keyboard with a trackpad and TV controls on the right side, where you'd find a numeric keypad on a regular keyboard. Its big buttons are easier to use than the mini-keypads used on some remotes nowadays.
It connects to a set-top box about the size of a netbook computer and runs the same kind of Intel Atom processor.
GoogleTV will also disappoint people looking for a way to "cut the cable" or reduce the clutter of boxes connected to their TV.
It's designed to supplement, rather than replace, a cable company's set-top box.
In a surprising departure from Google's democratic approach to product design, GoogleTV really only works if you pay for premium cable. It also requires broadband.
If you have bare-bones basic cable — the kind that requires no cable box — or use free broadcast TV, you're basically out of luck.
There's no way to connect an antenna or coaxial cable. The only way to get TV signals into the box is through an HDMI cable.
So what does GoogleTV do? It's basically a layer of software that can be added to your TV.
This layer can be used to browse the Web, display Web video content and run applications, although there are only a few available so far.
It runs on the tiny Intel processors in a set-top box or built into special flat-panel TV sets.
The big feature is, of course, Google search.
When a GoogleTV device is connected to a TV, you can call up a search box on the screen to look for content available on the Web and your TV.
Search results are tailored, so a search for a particular actor may return links to a bunch of video snippets where the actor appears.
When I searched for "Jamie Oliver," GoogleTV displayed links to the British chef's website, a speech and Web videos. But it didn't find the collection of his shows that I'd already recorded on a TiVo connected to the GoogleTV box.
At the Food Network's website, I was able to play its parsimonious selection of free video clips. But they were off center on the screen, and GoogleTV's vertical scroll bar is so narrow — the width of a pencil on a 40-inch TV — that I had trouble moving the page to the right place.
I was able to use the browser to do work e-mail on the TV in my living room. But GoogleTV wouldn't let me press the "close" button to exit the Web mail program, which remained open on the TV's "desktop."
Despite all the content protection and cable coziness, GoogleTV's still getting the stink eye from TV networks.
Most are blocking GoogleTV units from accessing their free, online video offerings, including the free TV shows and movies at Hulu.com.
If you point the browser at Hulu, you get a message saying you'll have to pay for its $10-per-month premium plan, through a GoogleTV application that's being developed.
Google says lots of applications will be available in 2011, but for now there's a meager selection, including the standard YouTube, Netflix, Pandora and Twitter apps. There's also an NBA application that displays scores and highlights, if you still care after the Sonics debacle.
I've tested all sorts of gadgets with Netflix lately, and GoogleTV was the first one that failed to work out of the box. The system hung up and directed me to Netflix support, where I was advised to do a hard reboot — unplugging and restarting the GoogleTV box. It worked afterward.
Google's being cagey about its plans to connect GoogleTV to its advertising delivery system. That may be the biggest reason to wait before investing in a GoogleTV system.
If Google's going to use the system to make money off you, with ads, the system should be cheaper or even free.

Hi there! My family and I just (a week ago :/ ) got back from a month long trip out west. My trip started a little earlier than planned when one of my Uncle's past away from cancer. My little guy Parker and I flew out to California for his memorial services, then met up with my husband and Skylee a few days later when our trip was originally planned for. I have a very large extended family, but I feel as though we're also very tight-knit. Although it wasn't a reason anyone would have chosen, it was wonderful to see all my brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I believe that families are forever, and that I will see my Uncle Jim again, he was a great Uncle to me :)
The rest of our trip included; indoor black light mini golf, cosmic bowling, splash parks, water park, Mandalay Bay Shark Reef, 5 days on a houseboat at Lake Mead (wakeboarding, inner-tubes, boating, jet skis, swimming...), family BBQs/bonfire, Chuck E. Cheese, eating out for just about every meal,visiting with long time friends and spending quality time with my family. It was a blast, wish I could do that every month! I think people around here in Georgia wondered if I was ever coming back though. I won't bore you with thousands of pictures, just a few ;)
My beautiful family minus my husband and daughter

The Best of 2017: A Highlight Reel
It goes without saying that the best thing that happened in 2017 was Elise's arrival. Hands down, no question, duh. But curses. Now I've said it. So I'll just leave you with a Day 1 picture and a Today picture so that you can imagine how much goodness was in between the two.
And now that we've gotten that out of the way, I hereby give you my best-of list for 2017. You know...now that it's 2018. I should have written this a week ago.
Best Location
I/We traveled several places this year, both pre- and post-baby. These places ranged from Vermont to New York to Washington to Vienna to Prague to Budapest, and Budapest took the cake. I was 19 weeks pregnant and it was cold/snowy/icy in January, but it was beautiful, and I loved walking around the city in all its wintry loveliness with my wiggly (internal) baby as company. The food is delicious, the cost of living is inexpensive, the people are friendly, and the history is fascinating.
Best Book(s)
I read a lot of things until May 28th. After that my reading rate went WAY down, but I'm hoping to pick it up again in the coming months. That should technically be easy since Elise currently prefers to nap with me rather than in her crib...but I'm getting off track. Unsurprisingly, my favorite books were on the topic of home and/or motherhood.
I've loved The Lifegiving Home for a couple of years now, and I've definitely recommended it here before. It's a book that really gave me a vision for how I want our home to be, and it has lots of practical ideas presented in a warm way that is both encouraging and inspirational. Since the second half of the book has a chapter for each month of the year, I reread through those sections from September onward. I'm hoping to continue that as we move into 2018.
My other favorite book, The Magic of Motherhood, was a recent discovery that I purchased on a whim during a ridiculous Amazon sale (where else could you get a hardcover book for $7.50?). It's written by a group of authors who collectively contribute to the Coffee + Crumbs blog, and it's organized into several short essays. I found that it was best enjoyed during nursing sessions, since I could read a couple of the essays in the amount of time it took Elise to eat. It's beautiful and uplifting while at the same time not shirking away from harder topics. Two thumbs up from me.
Best TV Show
We waited all year for this one! The Crown (season 2) is a show that we anticipated for 11 months, and then watched in about a week. It went by too fast!
As an unabashed British royalty fan, it was right up my alley. We enjoyed season 1 last year, and enjoyed season 2 just as much this round. And both Chaz and I liked it, which is saying something about a British period drama! This also relates to my next category...
Best Website
I heard about this one on an episode of the Federalist podcast that focused on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement. I don't really know how to describe www.gofugyourself.com, so I will just tell you that it has lots of articles on the royals (well beyond William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan), TV shows (The Crown!), and a HOST of things including unusual celebrity fashion choices, award shows, and other bizarre things. I'm very much looking forward to their coverage of the royal wedding in May. I realize that listing this website as my favorite of the year may reveal my shameful interest in celebrities rather than just the royal family, but...there it is.
Best Photos
These are all pretty much baby-related. I'm not sorry. As a result, they're not actually the best *quality* photos, just my favorites.
I think that's it for my highlight reel. Onward to 2018!

1. e4 c6 – Well Anand means well…he at least hopes for a dynamic E4 game..
2. d4 d5 – Caro Kann, how adventurous of Carlsen! He should have a medal for braveness.
3. Nc3 dxe4 – sigh
4. Nxe4 Bf5 – double sigh..
5. Ng3 Bg6 – Where have I seen these moves before? Oh only in 99% of all Caro Kann games..
6. h4 h6 – These moves just confirms that openings are just burping of canned stale information..
7. Nf3 e6 – Anand on the move again with his knight. Wonder if this one has any shiny armour!
8. Ne5 Bh7 –
9. Bd3 Bxd3 – Anand with three light pieces out and Carlsen just one. Caro Kann knew his shit, though.
10. Qxd3 Nd7 –
11. f4 Bb4+ – Ok finally a move of aggression from Anand. Followed by a bishop check. Odd move. White just strengthen his pawnformation in my opinion. Queen is less mobile however after the c3 move though.
12. c3 Be7 –
13. Bd2 Ngf6 –
14. O-O-O O-O- Long Castling for white, attempting assymmetry. Where there is a will there is a way. Normally. Carlsen accepts challenge. Now we are talking!
15. Ne4 Nxe4 – Knight exchanges, yes definately wise. They could be tricky jesters in this position.
16. Qxe4 Nxe5-
17. fxe5 Qd5 – Opening up rook and bishop file towards the black kings fortress. Anand is ahead for sure. But wait Carlsen wants to get even and force draw exchanges.
18. Qxd5 cxd5 – And succeeds with that plan. Sigh.
19. h5 b5 – Is this going to be a rally towards each king? Chicken race sort of?
20. Rh3 a5 –
21. Rf1 Rac8 – Oh yes! My mouth is watering!
22. Rg3 Kh7 .
23. Rgf3 Kg8 – This could be intriguing. However Carlsen really feels safe here.
24. Rg3 Kh7 Repeated moves. A draw. Neither had the guts to call the other and play their cards.
25. Rgf3 Kg8 1/2-1/2
Game Conclusion:
They are both safe players who don't take any unnecessary uncalculated risks. If they had continued this game it would be very unsure but very interesting for us to see who actually would win the chicken race..had they continued. As it turned out both turned chicken! Quaack! Quaack! And lost quite a bit of appreciation from their fans surely.Hope they both shape up quickly.

Today I wanted to share a layout I made using my new Pink Pailsee mistables mask - I love that it's 12" long - perfect for a layout! This is my son and I - he really loves hugs and kisses and is soooo sweet (when he's not being a total daredevil and driving me insane, that is). It's called my light and I used the cutest little light bulbs as the bodies on the butterflies and on the lantern. The butterflies and heart I cut out of chipboard using my Tim Holtz mini movers and shapers dies.

Harley Davidson Sportster
Harley Davidson Sportster
By Allan Girdler and Ron Hussey
In 1957, The Motor Company, as they call Harley-Davidson in Milwaukee, was in trouble. The big twins were too big, the small two-stroke single was too small, and a surge of imports had taken the sporting market from the under-powered Model K.
It was time for something new and different.
It was time for the Sportster.
Never has a motorcycle been more aptly named. The Sportster kept the K's best features, borrowed the improvements of the imports, threw in some homemade hot rodding, and before you could say Superbike-a term invented to describe the XLCH-the Sportster was making history, setting sales and speed records, and introducing people to the sport of motorcycling and the mystique of Harley-Davidson.
The history is still going on.
This book tells how and why, in sequence, from the circumstances and models that preceded the XL through to the 1200 Evo, with its five speeds and belt drive. On the way, there are in-depth looks at the race-ready XLC that began the Superbike era (and took even the factory by surprise), at the radical Café Racer and super-sport Buell, and at the price-buster XLX that taught the imports the value of the dollar.

The Ad Rem Vulture was developed to separate Zorba and IBA into a clean aluminium fraction and a heavy metal fraction.
The capacity ranges from 10 to 40 tonnes per hour.
In this design, Ad Rem specifically focused on the recovery of the Ferro Silicon (FeSi) medium. Up to 5 kg of additional FeSi is recovered per tonne of input material, as compared to similar flotation systems.


text: Western countries allege Iran's nuclear programme is a cover for weapons development [EPA] 'Considerable changes' The resignation came ahead of a promised shake-up of the government. Ahmadinejad said last month that he would be making "considerable changes" to his cabinet. Aghazadeh is thought to be close to Mir Hossein Mousavi, the Iranian opposition leader who claimed the results of last month's presidential elections were rigged, as well as an ally of former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who backed Mousavi. The former nuclear chief served as executive deputy to Mousavi in the 1980s, and was Iran's oil minister from 1985 to 1997 before being appointed to head the atomic organisation under Mohammad Khatami.

Outside of the ACTUAL health and fitness world there exists a mysterious realm. In this realm, (faux) health experts present (pseudo) scientific facts with impressive charts, graphs and computer programs. In these impressive documents "secret" formulas are introduced which claim to possess the keys to improving your health and fitness in the quickest, easiest and most injury free manners possible. To attain these keys all you need to do is learn these keys (buy them), plug your numbers into their formulas and - POOF! - the rest is just a matter of application. Variables? What variables???
This kind of thing is just plain STUPID.
Attaining health and fitness is still an art. It is replete with individual variables and factors which are dynamic. These can change daily, even hourly. While there is good science out there that we can use to improve our chances of becoming healthy and fit while preventing injuries, there is NO fool-proof standard for accurately predicting this. NONE. Well, maybe there is just ONE, but we'll come to that later. When storming GPP workouts, always keep in mind there is no weight light enough to guarantee safety while assuring effectiveness of a workout. There is no rep scheme considered more safe than others. No recommendation for sets that will unilaterally guarantee safety while granting health and fitness. In other words, there is no such thing as Universal Scalability.
A universal scaling model is quite impossible. It exists NOWHERE in the health and fitness world. Where it is claimed to exist, it is vehemently disputed by most other (well qualified and experienced) experts, including myself. There are too many variables in exercise to assign a guaranteed safe value of reps, sets, weight or rounds that would apply to ANYONE, let alone EVERYONE. The very suggestion of a purely scientific method would eventually and inevitably lead many to become injured due to a false sense of security.
Several years ago, a dear friend of mine injured his shoulder during a workout. At least he's pretty sure it was during a workout. Sometimes you just can't know, right? He went to the doctor to have it examined and was told he needed surgery to repair the damage. His doctor (probably a guy with little or no exercise experience) asked what he was doing when he thought it was injured. My friend (a triathlete), said he wondered if it happened while doing heavy overhead push presses. Or it may have happened while swimming, or..., or... The doctor zeroed right in on the heavy push presses.
"A man of your weight and height shouldn't be going that heavy for that many reps. That's how people get hurt."
What a stupid, irresponsible thing to say. Unfortunately this upset my friend. He shot me off an email asking how I could "allow" people to do exercises which were "inherently" dangerous. I answered.
"I'm sorry about that shoulder, brother. I can imagine how disappointed you must be...It is unfortunate your doctor speculated that high rep, heavy weight exercises, done by a man of your age and stature, caused your injury. In doing so, he may have added to your frustration by leading you to believe that your injury might have been foolish and/or avoidable."
My friend was needlessly frustrated by his Dr. Even his Dr. would have been aware that he could have sustained the EXACT same injury with VERY light weights and VERY low reps. Or even with that same weight on the very first rep. He also knows that many, many factors come into play when a person sustains injury. Sleep, stress, focus, energy level, nutrition, hydration, electrolyte balance, fatigue, balance, coordination, skill, experience, previous work load and many, MANY other factors could contribute to an injury. Due to this, your resistance to injury changes constantly (day to day, hour to hour, even minute to minute). In fact, you could do a lift one day and be perfectly safe, then several days later perform the very same lift with the very same form and sustain a lifelong injury due to one or several factors from above.
I'm not sure what his Dr. gained by telling him it was the push presses.
All physical activities are potentially dangerous. This is true of everything from ping pong to running to hockey to even yoga. A lady I know blew her knee out and needed reconstructive surgery from a beginning Yoga class. She was the instructor. Your competitive nature combined with GPP, biking, running, swimming, and etc. are risky behaviors that have the potential to cause ACCIDENTAL injury. There is only ONE way to assure you do not become ACCIDENTALLY injured while participating. Told you I'd eventually get around to it. Here it is ...
Do not participate.
Of course there is a flip side to non-participation. The flip side of this is by not participating you run what I believe are even greater risks. Some of these include the risk of developing lifestyle diseases (diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, dementia, cancer, etc.). Of course these are just the physical (and we really haven't touched on the diseases linked to inactivity).
It is important to know that depression, low self-esteem and other mental illnesses are rampant among those who do not participate in "dangerous" physical exertion.
Let's not even get started on the poor example we'd be setting for those who depend on our judgements (our future generations) for helping them make and learn valuable life choices. Oh, you can make a case for the importance of "telling" and "explaining," but ANY leader worth their salt leads from the FRONT!
If you ask me, ALL of the above are much more hazardous, painful and expensive in all ways possible when compared to any injury you might suffer while exercising. Seems like a silly trade off, but no doubt some would (and do) take it.
Do all you can to avoid injury. When performing any exercise, try your hardest to learn and perform it correctly. Take into account all that has been said above and use it to determine the volume and intensity of each workout you perform. On top of that, use methodical preparation, more than a little common sense and an eye toward situational awareness as your best allies for avoiding injuries.
Do NOT buy into the dogma of Universal Scaleability. There are NO programs, formulas, experts, charts or graphs which would guarantee your safety for any given workout. Not at ANY weight, using ANY rep scheme. Until we develop some sort of consistent clairvoyance - nobody could possibly make this guarantee. Not a scientist. Not your doctor. And frankly, not even you.

The exhibition of Nick Brandt in the Fotografiska Museum Stockholm is absolutely magic. I walked in with "wildlife photography" in my mind. But this is far beyond just that. The exhibition is on until September 13th, and if you are interested in photography and have the chance to see this, you must go. I have been to these places. But the way he took it, is really humbling for anybody who holds a camera looking at the same scenes.
The Fotografiska Museum in Stockholm is a very fine place. I also liked Inez & Vinoodh's "Pretty Much Everything 2015", even though fashion photography is not my thing. But I liked the take on it: "At its best, fashion makes it possible for a wider audience to discover what contemporary art and design is all about". Nice also to see the exhibition of photos by Andreas Zorn, of whom I was only aware of his watercolors, but not that he also was a keen photographer.

Nick F. - Videographer
Long before Nick ever picked up a camera, his passion for the cinema came at an early age. Movies were a wondrous window to different worlds. Beautiful places he may have never seen otherwise. His interest in pursing video/film was when he was an actor in college and was cast in his first short film. After getting a taste of what is like to make a movie, he began to gravitate towards the production aspect of film making. The rest is history. So now he has taken from what he has loved from the magic of cinema and incorporated it into his wedding filming style.

Have you ever tried to love something less? When you feel silly, and think about how you can't possibly pick all the things, and to be more selective, and limit your enthusiasm, because loving everything just seems a little over the top? Maybe even absurd?
What was ever so bad about being absurd? What was ever so bad about loving everything? Maybe judgement and discretion are what's overrated. What if we were all a little more sincere with our enthusiasm and used it without limitation? Maybe with the use of enthusiasm in it's fullest expression, life would be less limited?
In reference to the desire to love things less, that's how I felt scrolling through all these Beau Taplin quotes. I felt like I just loved them all so much and I can't possibly post all of them. So while it might not be entirely fair to call these my favorites, because I seem to love everything I've read, which is pretty lovable in and of itself, here are some that spoke to me recently.

Il-geun Kwon, Senior Vice President and Head of the LG Home Entertainment Company's IT Business Unit said that "The Tab-Book is going to appeal to consumers who want the convenience of a tablet but also the productivity of a notebook and don't want to carry two devices all the time." LG's new LTE-enabled Tab-Book will be available this week in Korea.

Effectiveness of domestic antibacterial products in decontaminating food contact surfaces
De Vere, Elizabeth and Purchase, Diane (2007) Effectiveness of domestic antibacterial products in decontaminating food contact surfaces. Food Microbiology, 24 (4). pp. 425-430. ISSN 0740-0020
Full text is not in this repository.
Four commercially available antibacterial products (two wipes and two sprays) were tested under laboratory conditions on a range of food contact surfaces (wood, glass, plastic, Microban® incorporated plastic). The products' effectiveness at preventing cross-contamination of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and the influence of surface type and drying time were assessed. Survival of the bacterial culture (approximately 400 colonies per 8 cm2) on the above preparation surfaces was determined using an in situ nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) method. In the absence of any antibacterial products, both bacteria survived up to 120 min on all test surfaces with glass and plastic showing no reduction in bacterial number. The order of survival is: glass>plasticMicroban® incorporated plastic>wood (<8%). The length of drying time did not affect the survival of either bacterium on glass and plastic surfaces. On wood and Microban® incorporated plastic, E. coli appeared to be more sensitive to drying time than S. aureus. Only plastic appeared to affect the effectiveness of the antibacterial products, where the reduction in bacterial number was significantly lower than the other test surfaces (p<0.05). The overall results suggest the antibacterial products are effective in disinfecting food preparing surfaces, provided products instructions are carefully followed.

March 19th - 25th
Roc, our music creator, allows you to create short bursts of very cool beats or music that you can incorporate into full-length Myna mixes. Here's a nice example by Zidane14, incorporating piano with Latin and techno drums that is not so far away from being a treat to get you into that trance mode.
What is a styromus? It's a combination of a love of coffee and music, of course! If you haven't heard of him yet, you will definitely be adding his mixes to your playlists, and telling all your friends as well. Here we have an example from him of the absolutely beautiful power that Myna has to incorporate external sources, lots of the new Roc instrument folders, and superb Myna editing and effects to create a magnificently moving piece that is eerie, child-like, pumping, and grungy all at the same time.
One of the treats that we all enjoy at Aviary is watching a new artist's progression... learning and interacting in the forums, but even more so, a rapid rise in skill development that we follow and learn from. Browneyes joined us only this past October, yet in that short time she has gifted us with charm and an amazing and enthusiastic way of taking all of Aviary's tools to create a cornucopia of artwork and music that incorporates a wonderous variety of shapes, colors, textures, ideas and sounds. Be prepared to give out fave adds - we heartily recommend an exploration of the gallery that is browneyes' special. Get your moxy with Roxy...
This week's challenge, set by stevebfromco, is the Heavy Paint Blackbox Challenge. in Steve's words:
"Have you played with the Heavy Paint Blackbox yet? It produces some great looking images. Would you share something that you have run through the box? I would love to see some other images."
And we totally agree, so far your images are just beautiful and we would love to see some more :)
Some of our faves:
By now, we've all heard of the unfortunate and heartbreaking tragedy that recently occurred with our friends in Japan. Several of our artists have already created tribute art and comments that express our well wishes and hopes for a world-wide expression of condolences and help in recovery.
As some of you may know, our sister site Worth1000 has a new Aviary arena where we will be running regular contests based on using all of the Aviary apps. You'll be able to win Worth credits and trophies, and we'll also be showing the best of the best here in the weekly Birdbath!
Tip - Add Swatch
Did you know that you can save swatches with our color picker in Phoenix and Raven? This will make your favorite colors available every time you open the color picker during your creation session. To add a color swatch, first choose one either by customizing from the color area or by sampling from the workspace using the eye dropper. Then click the + to swatch button which will add the selected color to the color swatches below. Each color will be added in the order you save them. Clicking the arrow at the bottom will open the swatch panel, revealing all 102 color wells. Finally, if you want to clear all the swatches, just click the crossed button .

Oracle treats empty strings as NULL
This is with reference to "NULL can be your friend." You suggest to use COALESCE function and say that "What this COALESCE expression does is substitute an empty string whenever foo is NULL, so that the resulting value will be found in the IN list." However, my results are contrary.

that "What this COALESCE expression does is substitute an empty string whenever foo is NULL, so that the resulting value will be found in the IN list."
However, my results are contrary:
SELECT 'X' FROM DUAL WHERE COALESCE('foo','') IN ('','B','C','D'); no rows selectedSELECT 'X' FROM DUAL WHERE COALESCE(NULL,'') IN ('','B','C','D'); no rows selected
Further, the following SQL shows that Oracle (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 18.104.22.168.0 - Production) treats '' as NULL:
So, is this behavior not carried forward ONLY 10g onwards?
The behavior that you have discovered is well-known. Oracle treats an empty string as NULL. This is not standard SQL.
Apparently, this behavior continues. The Oracle 10g Release 1 documentation for Nulls contains this note:
Oracle Database currently treats a character value with a length of zero as null. However, this may not continue to be true in future releases, and Oracle recommends that you do not treat empty strings the same as nulls.
So to come back to the example given, you could also get the desired results by substituting something else for the empty string, like this:
WHERE COALESCE(foo,'~') IN ('~','B','C','D')
The point was to ensure that the result of the WHERE condition will evaluate TRUE both for NULLs as well as for the legitimate values 'B', 'C', and 'D'.

Fifty Coalition tensions
The Coalition must confront at least 50 policy disputes in coming months, according to ministers and special advisers from both parties who have spoken to The Times.
The scale of the Government's challenge is laid bare amid accusations by business groups and opponents that it is becoming paralysed by indecision.
Here are 50 tricky issues facing Nick Clegg and David Cameron, dubbed "50 shades of dismay":
- Will the Government give prisoners the vote, against David Cameron's wishes, before the October deadline set by the European Court of Human Rights?
- Will the Lib Dems try to block NHS legislation needed to create the watchdog Monitor, which they fear will promote private sector providers?
- Will the coalition decide to opt out from 130 EU crime and justice

Active holiday on the French Riviera
The mild climate of the Riviera ideally invites to practice some sports. With the sea just at 300 meters and the ports of Hyeres and L'Ayguade nearby there are numerous water activities nearby. Swimming in the warm waters of the Mediterranean, sailing or diving, the sea is a wonderful playground close to the campsite. And as soon as one moves away from the sea, the Var coast is dotted with hiking trails that wind among and through the Massif de l'Esterel and the Massif des Maures.

When asked about netbooks earlier this year, Apple COO Tim Cook didn't beat around the bush: "They have cramped keyboards, terrible software, junky hardware, very small
screens, and just not a consumer experience, and not something that we would put
the Mac brand on, quite frankly".
That's fine, but the reality is that netbooks have made a huge mark on the market and have been given credit for driving much of the growth in the PC market. It's not hard to see why: for $300 or less in some cases, consumers can have an internet-capable 'mini-laptop'. In this economy, it's safe to say that many netbooks have been sold to consumers who otherwise would not have made a laptop purchase due to price considerations.
Some have questioned Apple's decision to avoid the netbook market but a research note from analysts at Piper Jaffray suggests that Apple is likely to counter netbooks with a product uniquely its own: a touch-screen tablet costing somewhere between $500 and $700.
From the research note:
Between indications from our component contacts in Asia, recent patents relating
to multi-touch sensitivity for more complex computing devices, comments from
[chief operating officer] Tim Cook on the April 22nd conference call, and
Apple's acquisition of P.A. Semi along with other recent chip-related hires, it
is increasingly clear that Apple is investing more in its mobile computing
Piper Jaffray's predictions:
- The display will be 7 to 10 inches in size.
- It will sport a proprietary microprocessor designed in-house.
- The device may run on a "hybrid" OS that meshes some features from Mac OS and the iPhone OS.
- The tablet could go on sale as early as Q1 or Q2 2010.
- Apple might partner with wireless carriers to integrate mobile internet access right out of the box.
Lots of predictions, no confirmation, of course, from Apple. Meaning plenty of buzz.
Putting aside that speculation is speculation and analysts are often dead wrong, such a device would be interesting. Obviously it's not going to compete head-to-head with the netbooks that consumers can purchase for $300 or less, but if Apple can produce a device in the range of $500 to $700 it could lure in consumers who have been priced out of the Mac laptop market.
Perhaps part of Apple's marketing genius is that it competes in markets by not competing in them. After all, even though Apple will be effectively competing in the netbook market if it releases the type of tablet Piper Jaffray thinks it will, the characteristics of that product (including price) will be very different from the competition.
But netbook manufacturers won't be the only ones who have to take notice if Apple releases a tablet. There's also the possibility, as AppleInsider points out, that such a device would pose a threat to Amazon's Kindle. One analyst has suggested that the Kindle will generate $1.6bn in revenue for Amazon by 2012 but if Apple jumps into the market with a tablet device that makes ebooks sexier, Amazon could find itself facing a tougher competitive landscape.
We'll see how this plays out. One thing is for sure: there's going to be a lot of talk until Apple confirms or denies these reports of a tablet. Marketing genius once again.

The Never Game By Jeffery Deaver. Normally, this book will cost you $14.99, Here you can download thousands of books in PDF file format for free without needing the extra spent money. Click the download button above or alternative link below to download thousands of books in PDF file format.
From the bestselling and award-winning master of suspense, the first novel in a thrilling new series, introducing Colter Shaw.
"You have been abandoned."
A young woman has gone missing in Silicon Valley and her father has hired Colter Shaw to find her. The son of a survivalist family, Shaw is an expert tracker. Now he makes a living as a "reward seeker," traveling the country to help police solve crimes and private citizens locate missing persons. But what seems a simple investigation quickly thrusts him into the dark heart of America's tech hub and the cutthroat billion-dollar video-gaming industry.
"Escape if you can."
When another victim is kidnapped, the clues point to one video game with a troubled past--The Whispering Man. In that game, the player has to survive after being abandoned in an inhospitable setting with five random objects. Is a madman bringing the game to life?
"Or die with dignity."
Shaw finds himself caught in a cat-and-mouse game, risking his own life to save the victims even as he pursues the kidnapper across both Silicon Valley and the dark 'net. Encountering eccentric game designers, trigger-happy gamers and ruthless tech titans, he soon learns that he isn't the only one on the hunt: someone is on his trail and closing fast.
The Never Game proves once more why "Deaver is a genius when it comes to manipulation and deception" (Associated Press).

Please click here to see blog posts written by Ian.
Having joined the Mann Lawyers business law team in June of 2017, my practice areas are focused in corporate and commercial law. I assist clients with purchases and sales of businesses, tax planning and reorganizations, debt financing and security, franchising issues, commercial leasing, and other general business law matters. I am committed to providing high quality legal services in these areas, always with the aim of ensuring that my clients' goals are achieved as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
I have always had a keen interest in business so naturally I obtained a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours in Business Administration at the University of Windsor in 2008. I then attended the University of Ottawa Law School where I continued to develop my business acumen in the legal context. I was called to the Ontario Bar in 2017 after completing my articles in a mid-sized firm.
While in law school, I had the pleasure of working with the University of Ottawa's Business Law Clinic, which exposed me to many fascinating start-up clients in the Ottawa area. I am particularly passionate about helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams, and this experience showed me that Ottawa is full of innovative individuals who embrace the entrepreneurial spirit. I am truly happy to be in a position where I can continue with this work.
Out of the office, I love to stay physically active and particularly enjoy soccer. I have an international background, having been raised overseas in Nairobi, Kenya, and so I enjoy and seek out exposure to new cultures. I find that there is no better place for that than right here in the capital of this great country.
If you need help with any business related issues, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Bing and Yahoo Web Master Tools allow you to drive traffic to your web site(s), advertise your web site, as well as develop your site with bings toolbox.
In this first article covering the Bing and Yahoo Web Master Tools we will focus on signing-up for a Bing account and driving traffic to your web site.
Use the link: http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster. You will need to create an account for these tools. This process is not complicated but it does go through several e-mail verification processes before you can get started.
At your dashboard you will be able to add your web site URL. If you have more than one web site you can add multiple URLs to fall under the same Bing account. However, it is suggested that you set-up one URL and go through the process before adding other sites. This will keep the process simpler and allow you to work through the functionality without too much clutter.
From the configuration window you can submit your Sitemap(s), Submit URLs, submit Ignore URL Parameters (a list of pages that you do not want indexed on the search engines), set your Crawl Control (this is the frequency that the search engines index your web site), set and manage Deep Links (these are links from a main category page to a detailed page within your web site). You can also set Block URLs (specific pages that you want removed from the search listings), you can set Disavow Links (These are links to your web site that you do not want the search engine to use for ranking purposes), and you can also manage the users that can have access to your Bing account.
Bing's Reports & Data includes Page Traffic, an Indexing Explorer (see how your site is indexed on Bing and yahoo!), and Search Keywords (see what keywords your site is pulling up under). You can also get an SEO Report (find out how you list on the Bing and Yahoo! search engine), you can get an Inbound Links Report (see what sites are linking to yours), and you can view tha Crawler Information (how often the search engines crawl your site).
Bings Diagnostic Tools include keyword research, a link explorer, the ability to Fetch as a Bing (this shows you what the serach engine sees when it is searching your web site), a Mark-Up Validator (this checks the code on your web site), an SEO analyzer (see how to better optimize your web site), and a Verify Bigbot tool.
Once you get started you may have questions. Try the Bing Webmaster and How To Center to get all of your questions answered.
