PR Week Global Report Card: Cohn & Wolfe Q&A
What were your agency's three highlights of the past year?
It's hard to narrow it down, but I'd have to say that our three biggest highlights were exceeding our budget with double digit growth, advances on the digital front and being ranked as one of Advertising Age's Best Places to Work:
* With regards to our strong business growth, we not only added more than 50 new accounts to our roster, but several of these were million-Euro-plus wins. We now have the pleasure of working with corporate giants such as Sam's Club, LG Electronics, Kia Motors, Hennessy, Warburtons, North America Properties, Warner Bros Entertainment and tescodiets.com.
In addition to welcoming these fantastic new clients and more, we also strengthened our partnerships with existing clients, seeing significant organic growth with Smucker, Valvoline, Hill's Pet Nutrition, 3M, and Solta Medical. Wins were across all practices, but our Consumer and Corporate Affairs were particularly strong in 2011.
* As far as our current focus on digital, one could say that we are currently experiencing a "digital explosion" at Cohn & Wolfe. We've always prided ourselves on our digital capabilities, but this year we took our agency's expertise to a new level and can now say that digital is built into the fabric of Cohn & Wolfe.Digital programming factored into nearly 100% of all our business opportunities this year, and we experienced significant, digitally driven revenue growth in each market.
* In addition to incorporating digital into all campaigns, we also made significant investments in our employees, making over 20-plus hires in senior digital talent.Of course, the highlight I'm truly proud of is our inclusion in Advertising Age's 2011 Best Places to Work list.
I've always known that Cohn & Wolfe is special and we've worked hard over the past few years to bring our "Dig Deeper. Imagine More." mantra to life across all our offices. Our efforts definitely paid off, since we had one of the lowest turnover rates in the history of Cohn & Wolfe this year at 16%. And we continue to attract the best talent in the industry due to our strong reputation for powerful client work in the areas of branding, creativity and digital. These new leaders not only solidify our vibrant and creative culture, but also represent an important investment in the short and long-term growth of our agency.
Of which work in the last 12 months were you most proud?
Like proud parents, we are pleased with all the campaigns our talented teams produce, but these three were some of this year's superstars.
* Our London office put together a fantastic campaign for the DVD launch of the hit film Bridesmaids for Universal Pictures. Our team partnered with artist Alison Jackson to do a royal spoof celebrating the ultimate bridesmaid, Pippa Middleton. We created a series of three vignettes with stills celebrating Pippa's role and imagining the behind-the-scenes events at Kate & Will's wedding. The photos were picked up across UK newspapers, spread like wildfire across the blogosphere and immediately became the most read story on many websites, such as the Daily Star. Besides making significant impressions online and in the press, our efforts contributed to the DVD's success at the counter, with Bridesmaids finishing with total week 1 sales of 280,665, and a strong week 1 conversion of 1.22%. Our client, Universal Pictures, is extremely pleased with these results and has high hopes to further deliver strong OTC sales up to Christmas, with lots of marketing activity still to run.
* Finally, our New York team's campaign for Buick, the Regal Remix, flipped the script on traditional automotive marketing – and for a very simple reason. It was time. In 2010, the average age of the Buick owner was 72. While respected for durability and dependability, the brand needed an injection of youthfulness.
Our team created an anti-car show and took the Remix on the road for six exclusive events hosted at trendy venues across the country over a seven-month span, which ensured a continuous buzz throughout the Regal's rookie season. We also launched Tweet to Drive, where users could set up test drives through Twitter. The concept was simple. Simply tweet to drive and ambassadors picked you up – anywhere within a 20-mile radius of city center – for a cruise down the highway, a drive home from the airport or an afternoon taco run.
The results of the campaign were momentous. We reached more than 25,000 online customers, and generated hundreds of Tweets and nearly 160 million impressions over the course of the Regal's launch. More tellingly, Buick is now the fastest-growing major U.S. automotive brand with sales up 57% in 2010. And since January, the average age of the Buick consumer has dropped from 72 to 61.
How has your agency been improving its digital offering in the last 12 months?
Our advances in embedding digital across the agency means we won't even need a standalone Digital practice in two to three years.
In 2011, we unveiled major initiatives to grow our C&W digital footprint, starting with the launch of our agency-wide Digital Intelligence Series (DIS). DIS boasts a mandatory 30 course curriculum to train all of our global employees (including "Train the Trainers" sessions) and includes a dedicated portal for 24/7 on-demand access to the digital team for questions. We introduced new digital tools to the agency, such as procuring the Global Web Index to help our teams dig deeper on global digital and social media trends and behavioral perspectives on brands.
Client demand pushed us to formalise and roll-out 10 new digital services in 2011, including online reputation management and Facebook and Brand Fan Acquisition Strategy. We continue to invest in making sure all of our employees, and clients, have access to cutting-edge digital tools and insights now and in the future.
What are the most effective ways of encouraging more collaborative working across a global network of offices?
One of the biggest misconceptions at companies is that collaboration can be fostered in the form of "lunch 'n learns" or happy hours. At Cohn & Wolfe, we recognise that this is definitely not the case. Culture and collaboration matters when your alarm goes off and you don't hit snooze seventeen times. People join Cohn & Wolfe – and stay here – because of our agency's creative energy, drive to push boundaries and an entrepreneurial spirit that fosters innovation.
We've worked hard to ensure that we have multiple ways of offering our employees a way to think and create collaboratively.
For example, all employees participate in Emergenetics, a work-style program that provides clues into how people think and behave. It celebrates all forms of thinking, from structural and analytical to conceptual and social. The program enables our employees to play to their strengths, make better business decisions, communicate more effectively, and helps the agency build stronger, more creative and more productive teams. This past year we also hosted a worldwide Dig Deeper. Imagine More. Day in all our offices – a concentrated global think-session and team-building experience designed to celebrate, reinvigorate and coalesce the research-driven creative firepower of Cohn & Wolfe employees.
Which three offices have been experiencing the greatest growth over the 12 months to July 31 2011 and why?
Although all of our offices have had a great year, the three that stand out the most are our New York, London and Shanghai offices.
Our New York office, which is home to Cohn & Wolfe Group's world headquarters and our largest office in terms of employees and revenue, has experienced an impressive year in terms of new business growth. Some of the year's major new client wins were Hennessy, HSBC and Sam's Club. The New York team saw remarkable organic growth with multiple clients, including Smucker, Valvoline, Hill's Pet Nutrition, 3M and Solta Medical.
Under Scott Wilson's leadership (Managing Director, UK), the London office has achieved a remarkable turnaround in 2011. Under Scott's tremendous direction and vision, employee and client satisfaction survey have increased significantly. A new business streak landed several major brands in the past year, most notably tescodiets.com, an on-line diet and weight loss service from one of the world's largest retailers.
Other significant wins include being named UK AOR for Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, AOR for Drinkaware, the UK's leading charity for raising awareness about alcohol consumption, and sizeable project work for leading bread maker Warburton's. In addition to new clients and leadership, our London office also gained the prestige of passing the PRCA CMA audit with one of the highest awarded scores this year, an honor that will surely lead to more growth in 2012.
As growth in the Asia-Pacific market continues to be a top priority for our company as a whole, we have been thrilled to see extraordinary growth in our Shanghai office. In both Beijing and Shanghai, Cohn & Wolfe China welcomed multiple new clients this year, including the China International Boat Show, Pfizer, Merck and Quaker Oats.
In November, Cohn & Wolfe acquired impactasia, a mid-sized independent public relations agency with an impressive client list and an established network of offices, including Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai. By joining forces, our newly merged organization will triple in size, with a team of more than 80 PR professionals and greater regional and international expertise in consumer, digital, corporate and healthcare.

Heidi Klum showed off her incredible figure as she was honoured for her charity work at a glamorous gala in New York.
The 39-year-old mother-of-four dazzled in a backless sparkling black gown with a plunging neckline, set off with a drop necklace, as she accepted the award at the gala held by American Foundation for Aids Research (amfAR) at Cipriani Wall Street.
A host of stars turned out to celebrate, including Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chloe Sevigny, John Legend and Alexa Chung.
Heidi - who is reportedly dating her bodyguard Martin Kristen following her split from Seal last January after seven years of marriage - left her new man at home for the evening.
Janet Jackson was also honoured at the event.

Install VMWare on Ubuntu |
Installing VMWare on Ubuntu can be a pain in the butt. Here a few steps that may help. Updated 11/6/08 for VMWare Server 1.07 on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex running the 2.6.27-7-generic kernel. No need to rewrite what is already well documented. See VMWare Server 1.0.7 on Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid" (2.6.27.-7-generic) Sometimes after the upgrade you may need to run sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` where uname -r has been run to give you your running kernel. These steps are best for 64-bit installations. We'll assume you've downloaded VMWare Server 1.07, unpacked it, and changed to the vmware-server-distrib directory. 1) Install xinetd and ia32-libs

But analysts said OPEC sphere of influence was limited.
"The truth is the decision today is not nearly as important as three other events that will occur over the next few weeks," said Jason Schenker of Prestige Economics. He listed Sunday's election in Greece, which could decide whether the country stays in the eurozone; a meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve in Tuesday; and the July 1st implementation of an EU embargo on Iranian oil as much more significant in determining where crude is headed.
That embargo, combined with a U.S. push for a global ban on imports of Iranian crude, figured prominently on the sidelines of the closed meeting.

Melissa Joan Hart has lost 29 pounds since January but hopes to lose 30 more.
Lithuania captain Javtokas to miss Olympics
"It is a huge loss. It's difficult to describe how much we will miss him, not only on the court but also off it," team coach Kestutis Kemzura said in a statement.
Basketball is Lithuania's top sport - dubbed the second religion of this nation of three million, after Catholicism - and there are high hopes that the team could add to the haul of Olympic medals won by previous squads.
Center Javtokas, 32, suffered pain during the Olympic qualification tournament in Venezuela this month, and Lithuanian medics discovered a stress fracture in his foot.
Javtokas, who stands two metres, 11 centimetres (six feet, nine inches) tall, made his Lithuania debut in 2001 and has not missed a single summer with the team since the 2004 Athens Olympics.
The loss of Lithuania's talismanic captain is likely to increase the pressure on 20-year-old rising star Jonas Valanciunas, selected by the Toronto Raptors as the fifth pick in the 2011 NBA draft.
Currently with Lithuanian powerhouses Zalgiris Kaunas, Javtokas has spent most of his career in European clubs.
Lithuania have ranked among the top four in the five Olympic Games since the country's independence from the former Soviet Union.
Their squads won bronze in 1992, 1996, 2000 and came fourth in 2004 and 2008.
Lithuania will play in Group A in the preliminary round in London, along with the 2008 gold medalists the United States, Argentina, France, Nigeria and Tunisia.

© 1998-2013 GPUpdate.net
Conor Daly is making his GP2 test debut at the Circuit de Catalunya this week. The American, son of ex-Formula 1 driver Derek, secured a late deal with newcomers Hilmer Motorsport, the team which has replaced Ocean Racing on this year's grid.
"This was totally unexpected," said Daly. "I was in England and within a day the deal was talked about by The KINC agency and I was on a plane. I'm very much looking forward to the experience. I know the engineers and the team have assembled some very experienced people. The weather forecast is not great but I will still learn a lot."
Daly, who raced in GP3 for ART last year, will drive for two days in Barcelona, with the test getting underway in wet conditions on Tuesday. The 21-year-old also tested for Force India in 2012, completing a series of straight line aero runs at Cotswold Airport.

Etonic G-Sok R-Series Leather Golf Shoe Review
Hi guys, this is Trevor with GolfEtail.com, and these are the Etonic G-Sok R-Series Golf Shoes. As with all Etonic Golf Shoes, their focus was on quality, craftsmanship, and performance. These are made out of full grain leather, so they are waterproof, and they actually come with a 2-year Waterproof Guarantee.
The G-Sok is Etonic's first ever non-cleated Performance golf shoe. You can see they come with soft rubber spikes, rather than removable, extra-large spikes, but they still provide you with all the grip and traction you need on the course. These particular shoes come with a Goodyear Rubber Outersole, so they are very durable and provide a great amount of traction.
The tagline with the Etonic G-Sok shoes is that they are "As comfortable as your favorite pair of socks," and this is really true. They have a really soft and comfortable insole, so it feels like an athletic shoe. Another great part of these shoes is that they have a fairly soft heel, unlike a lot of golf shoes that have a really stiff heel that digs into you as you are walking around the course. Not the case with these: they are soft and comfortable.
These shoes come in a variety of sizes and in two different widths: We have them in Medium and in Wide. They also come in two color variations. This is called White/Black/Cedar, and this is White/Bomb/Redstone, and they are both very good looking.
Jump on our website, GolfEtail.com, and see if we have the shoe that fits your game.

Street Fighter 3: Third Impact (Import) review (PlayStation 2) |
Reviewed by midwinter (August 27, 2004) Where brothers and sisters are concerned, nothing says unfair quite like being compared to your older sibling. Try as you might to match their achievements, invariably you're left standing in the corner as the dark shadow of someone else's success begins to fall across your life. "Why can't you be more like him?" your parents ask. "He knows what life's all about, you're such a disappointment to us all!" they claim. Yes, yes, I know how much I've let you both down.

Is This High-Yield Blue Chip Worth Your Time?
Demitri is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
H.J. Heinz's (NYSE: HNZ) shares touched a new high last week after the company reported its 29th straight quarter of organic sales growth. The Ketchup King delivered higher profits too, aided by strong growth in emerging markets. But the stock's rich valuation and rising debt levels has a lot of investors wondering if the market is charging too much for this sauce-maker and its 3.7% yield.
At 19 times earnings, is an investment in Heinz really worth the risk? Or, to paraphrase a line from the movie The Girl Next Door, "Is the sauce worth the squeeze?"
The Sauce
To try to answer that question let's start with the good stuff; what investors are getting for their investment in Heinz. The short answer is: a lot.
Considering its perch as a premium brand food company in times of consumer cutbacks and commodity inflation, Heinz has performed well. The company's sales, profits, and dividends have been steadily increasing over the past 5 years.
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | |
Sales | $9,885,556 | $10,011,331 | $10,494,983 | $10,706,588 | $11,649,079 |
Dividend | 1.52 | 1.66 | 1.68 | 1.80 | 1.92 |
Sales are in 000's.
Key to that growth has been strong sales of Heinz's flagship ketchup and sauce brands. But on top of that solid foundation the company has also been booking more revenue from emerging markets. Heinz went on an international shopping spree in 2011, scooping up big brands in both the Chinese and Brazilian markets. China and Brazil now promise to become major markets for Heinz down the line. And the company's spicy 19% sales growth in emerging markets last quarter shows those investments already beginning to pay off.
At the same time, Heinz is dropping underperforming products -- like TGI Friday's and Boston Market licenses -- in a bid to refocus on top brands in its portfolio. And this stronger brand position has translated to increased pricing power for Heinz, as it raised prices by 3.8% last year with only a 0.3% drop in volume. By comparison, General Mills (NYSE: GIS) and Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) couldn't manage that feat; their price hikes were met with volume dips of 6% and 1%, respectively.
Altogether, Heinz' strong execution has delivered impressive global sales growth. That growth powered over $1 billion in annual free cash flow and easily funded a 7% hike in dividends paid to shareholders.
The Squeeze
So what are investors risking in exchange for a piece of that solid business execution? The short answer here is: debt and write-downs.
To fund the major Brazilian and Chinese expansions, debt levels at the company have ticked up. Total debt rose from $4.6 billion in 2011 to just over $5 billion last year. And on top of increased debt payments, Heinz has been forced to take a series of charges to profits as it writes down past investments that didn't turn out as planned. Taken together these points raise the concern that Heinz could be stuck in a poor expansion cycle, with sales gains from good investments being continuously offset by write-downs in the bad ones.
As far as price goes, Heinz isn't nearly as cheap as it used to be. But the company doesn't seem so richly valued when compared to other consumer food staples like Kraft (NASDAQ: KRFT) and General Mills.
HNZ PE Ratio data by YCharts
Bottom line
Overall, Heinz looks like a great investment to me. The company boasts pricing power and has shown that it can deliver sales growth in a tough economic environment. Management is executing well and delivering steadily increasing returns to shareholders. Best of all, Heinz's strong cash flows and sector-beating yield don't appear completely priced in to the shares.
If Heinz' management can keep its recent focus on core brands, profitability should improve and investors stand to reap big rewards in the form of expanding global sales and margins. Buying into this ketchup and sauce maker isn't without its risks, but it's an investment that seems well worth the effort.

Not an article along the usual lines this time, but I was so surprised by just how far bionic technology has come that I felt I had to write some musings on it.
While doing research into the state of present day bionics technology I started thinking about the implied limits of the current technology. Just how far are we from the Matrix-like brain-in-a-jar philosophical thought exercise being a realistic possibility? From what I can make out, most of the technology, albeit crude and unwieldy in a lot of cases, appears to actually be available today.
Bionic limbs controlled by processed signals picked up from the brain and peripheral nerves have been around for a long time. While there are still issues with implanting sensors directly into the brain causing an inflammatory response in the tissue known as gliosis which causes electrodes to get insulated and prevents them from picking up the signal, the technology has been tested pretty successfully. If that can be done, then arguably the same technology could be used for all muscle control.
But what about other vital organs?
Heart: Permanent heart replacement devices have already been used.
Kidneys: Dialysis machines have been in use for decades, and although bulky they are capable of performing the function of kidneys indefinitely. Small, implantable devices are also becoming available.
Spleen: Considering that people who have had their spleens removed for various reasons (injury, cancer or other illness) live for decades without significant health consequences, spleen doesn't appear to be a vital organ.
Liver: Since liver is one of the few vital organs that regenerates, most of the approaches to artificial replacements have been based on biotech and regenerative technologies. Still, it would appear that Extracorporeal Liver Assistance Devices (ELADs) do already exist.
Digestive system including pancreas: Intravenous provision of nutrients for coma patients appears to have been in use for a long time. Thus, in the context of what might be considered to be a full bionic chassis, the digestive system could be omitted and the appropriate nutrients introduced into the blood stream directly.
Lungs: Artificial lungs appear to be the most problematic part. The devices available today, both the bulky external ones and the more modern implantable ones all suffer from the same problem – blood clotting. The life expectancy on the large external devices is typically around a day, while the smaller implantable ones have been able to sustain animals in trials for around 5 days before they started to introduce blood clots into the blood stream that lead to problems like stroke.
In light of all that, it would appear that ghost-in-the-shell possibility is rapidly making a transition from science fiction to science fact. Sure – we aren't quite there yet. But it is quite amazing just how close to plausibly implementable the very concept actually is today, at least from the point of view of a layman who only has limited information available.
If you are involved in this field of research and can confirm, deny, correct, extend or elucidate any of the above points, please, do post a comment.

Trade unions are demanding that the daily minimum wage be fixed at Rwf 1,500, way above the current Rwf100 under a 1974 law still in force.
Achieving gender equality in most of the agricultural work in Africa, Asia and Latin America is still a major challenge, according to a new report by a Dutch based organisation.
The case file of Genocide fugitive Ladislas Ntaganzwa has been transferred to Rwanda from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the fourth genocide case to be handed over to Kigali.
The East African Business Council (EABC) has tasked its affiliated federations in the five EAC partner states to petition their Speakers of Parliament over representation in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).
Rwandan traders who export goods to European countries go through difficult conditions, owing to tight restrictions, the traders claim.
As part of the celebrations to mark the Rwanda National Police (RNP)'s 12th anniversary, the force will support over 1, 000 vulnerable people across the country, police Spokesperson, Supt Theos Badege, said yesterday.
The Secretary General of the East African Community (EAC), Dr Richard Sezibera, has hailed the progress in trade negotiations between the grouping and the European Union, saying that this was the first time regional states were negotiating terms of reciprocal trade arrangement with Europe as a bloc.
Africa has been asked to ensure that it does not deplete its natural capital to satisfy its daily needs.

Beautiful birthday!!! The perfect way to celebrate a kids birthday party!!!
Hi! Beautiful party! I'm thinking of having a Dr. Seuss party for my sons first birthday also. Where did you find the large Cat in the Hat and the Thing 1 and Thing 2 picture stand?
Where did you get the dr.seuss paper that you made the pinwheels with
@ Erica- I'm not sure what picture stands you are taking about. I made most of the party...email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can chat there. Thanks, Nikka
@Brandy- I got that paper from Michaels Craft store. They have a Cat n the Hat section and if you look thru all that stuff there is a little kit to make pinwheels. I also saw that JoAnn Fabrics has the same little section. (dont forget your coupons when going to either store-totally cheap with a coupon!) Thanks, Nikka

Party Recap...
When my youngest of three kids turned one this summer, I knew it had to be fun. He is my only summer baby, so I finally got to plan a party outside. My 2 older kids were Thing 1 & Thing 2, and the birthday boy was Cat in the Hat.
I made all the decorations and food. It was fun to make things not so perfect, like an off centered cupcake stand and tall skinny candy jars.
I fell in love with the red, white and teal combination of colors. The 'real' Cat in the Hat came to read a book and the kids loved playing all the games, including pin the tail on Horton

the back of the main sail to re-run the reefing pennant. The winds were building to around 30 knots

Welcome to Yorkshire who were heading in the wrong direction, unfortunately for
them they missed the 10 minute call on the VHF radio and were madly trying to
get to the start line. We held the lead
through as the night the as the winds eased down to 5 knots allowing for those
of our crew who had once again been struck down by the dreaded sea sickness to
recover slightly. With the dramatic
change in wind strength we were all kept busy doing all of the sail changes to
keep up with it. Trust me this was a

in a calm 5 knots of wind, we were faced with a new navigational hazard as the
sun peaked over the horizon at 4am. Large wind farms lined the water ahead just
off the coast and there was also another TSS (Traffic Separation Scheme) a high
way for the super tankers and something that we were restricted to enter. Whilst trying to keep clear of the wind farms
we fell into a wind hole which gave the golden opportunity to four other boats
to overtake us. Due to our race success
so far (11 wins) the other boats would relish in the opportunity to be ahead of
us. At one stage team Edinburgh
Inspiring Capital overtook us and just as there stern cleared our bow they all
cheered enjoying seeing us behind them for a change however 5 minutes later we
quietly overtook them back. I didn't
hear anymore cheering from them after that…
It was now the afternoon of day 2 at sea and we could now
see the white cliffs of Dover ahead and were about to sail down the Dover
Strait. With three boats ahead of us we
made a tactical call to sail as close to those white cliffs as possible and
with some tidal calculations done Skipper Richard Hewson decided that it was
safe to sail over a sand bank with a depth of 1 meter on the chart. This would mean that we would need to tack
less than the other boats allowing us to hopefully make up some ground. Trusting in our tactical decision and the
fact that we did not run aground Edinburgh Inspiring Capital decided to follow
us. This tactic payed off for both of us as we exited the straits we were once
again in 1st place.
Throughout the rest of the afternoon we steadily increased
our lead on the rest of the fleet expect Geraldton Western Australia who stuck
to us like glue. At around 8pm we sailed
once again into another bad wind hole offering up gusts of 0.3knots of wind. Geraldton held the winds slightly longer and
gained the lead whilst behind us the rest of the fleet came steadily charging
up closing our 4 nautical mile lead down to a mere 500 meters. Trying to do everything in our power to get
the boat moving we got Veronica up on deck to perform one of her wind
dances. It must have worked because with
her arms failing and weird noises emanating from her vocal cords I felt a
slight hint of a breeze on my cheek.
Soon enough it was enough to get moving but we were once again back to
the middle of the fleet. This was agony
because we had been working so hard to get the lead and then something small
like this would happen and you were straight back to the middle again and in these
light and fickle winds it was just so hard to catch the bad guys ahead.
We were now near Southampton and entering into the elastic
band section of the course. This was a series of marks that could be lengthened
or shortened to ensure that we arrived in Southampton in time for the race
finishing celebrations. Our course went
from being a straight line to a triangle course that we ended up travelling
around twice having finished the first one with time to spare because the winds
were sitting nicely at 10 knots. We were
not so lucky on the second time around as the winds once again dropped down to
near 0 causing our boat speed to do the same.
So the rest of the fleet caught up and we drifted towards the last mark
that we needed to round before we were able to go for the finish line.
We were reaching on our way to the mark with Singapore half
a mile ahead of us, once we went around the mark we would be able to hoist our
spinnaker and if we hoisted this before Singapore than we would have a chance
of overtaking them, the only chance before the finish. Lucky for us it went off like clockwork and
was a beautiful piece of racing to watch. Rounding just inside Singapore we had
our kite up and set before they had started hoisting theirs, costing them
valuable time and allowing us to take 1st place again.
Once we were around the last mark the slight breeze that we
had once again dropped away causing us to drop our spinnaker and hoist our wind
seeker sail. With a boat speed of 1.4
knots we were now drifting 0.2 knots faster than the rest of the fleet and very
slowly closed in towards the finish line.
Just after the sunrise on the dawn of the 22 July we sailed across the
finish in 1st place 200 meters ahead of the rest of the fleet. What an intense and close race this final one
was but the adventures did not stop here because 3 miles further along is the invisible
line that we sailed when we left Southampton 12 months earlier. Sailing over this line would officially make
5 of us on board circumnavigators. 20 minutes
after the race ended we became circumnavigators with tear filled eyes we all
embraced each other and remembered the journey that we shared across the world's
oceans. And what an adventure it has
Once all of the sails had been packed away we lined up for a
parade of sail into the Southampton Waters, looking around the boat I could see
hundreds and hundreds of boats all shapes and sizes out to welcome the fleet
home. What a fantastic sight this
was. As we entered into the Ocean
Village Marina Richard lit a flare and we celebrated with the 30-40 thousand
people who were crammed along the waterfront.
I was simply too excited to cry but almost everyone else had tears in
there eyes and with the greatest adventure of my life now complete you might be
asking me what is to be next? Well do it
all again of course!

Newborn Baby Care
Parenthood is something that you can plan and study for but not truly experience until you have your little one in your arms for the first time. Parenting is a duty and responsibility like no other—and one very important job that has no manual. Here are some tips about basic newborn baby care:
report abuse- Prior to the birth of your child: Gather basic baby equipment (a car seat is essential) you'll need to care for your child. Throw a baby shower and put some essential gear on the list!
- Once you bring home baby, don't invite the neighbor's kids over to spread germs! You might want to keep visitors to a minimum for the first few days at least— and wash your hands before handling baby!
- Keep the umbilical stump clean and dry. Treat it gently.
- Keep your baby's genitals clean. That means changing a lot of diapers! Your newborn will need to be changed from 8 to 12 times a day.
- Learn your baby's early signs of hunger and feed your baby before he begins to cry. Early signs of hunger include stirring, crying, lip smacking, stretching, sucking motions, and fussiness.
- Until the umbilical cord falls off, you should not give the baby a tub bath at all. The baby should be given sponge baths until then. If you are changing the baby as soon as the diaper is soiled and wiping off the baby's hands and face each time you change his diaper, your baby only needs a bath two or three times a week.
- Allow your baby to get as much sleep as he needs. Newborns up to 3 months old generally sleep for most of the day, somewhere between 16 and 20 hours. The sleep periods are divided evenly between night and day. The longest time they usually sleep at stretch is about four or five hours, and then they will wake up because they are hungry.
- Support your baby's head and neck. And never—under any circumstances, shake a newborn.

More Argentinian stuff…
On the 30th of June we continued our tour of Buenos Aires. In the morning we visited a neighborhood called Recoleta and there we went to one of the oldest graveyards in the country with presidents and others buried there. (Eva Peron)(Legit) Then we went to another neighborhood where we had lunch and then had a scavenger hunt where we had to find different things and make our way to a different part of town with two other kids. It was a really cool way to throw us into the country and get us to work on our own. During the scavenger hunt I found something amazing. A new Argentinian pair of cleats. I haven´t used them yet… But I´m so pumped to put them on in the states… =D
Time crunch again… Type later!
Hasta Luego!

Why should I Consider Studying Religious Science?
There is a Power for Good in the Universe greater than you are and you can use it! As a Divine being, you are the master of your destiny. Science of Mind, which is studied, taught, and applied in Religious Science Churches, is a system of mental and spiritual principles, combined with techniques for the application of these principles. The consistent application of these techniques results in health, satisfying relationships, enhanced creativity, and prosperity. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "the ancestor of every action is a thought." When you apply the Science of Mind techniques to change your thinking, your life will change around you in ways that will seem almost magical both to you and to those who know you.
What Does Your "V" Symbol Mean?
The circle is divided by two lines into three levels. The upper level represents the Universal All-Originating Spirit, God. The middle level represents the Universal Subjective Mind, which is the medium of all thought, and the lower level represents that which we, from our present viewpoint, refer to as the Physical Universe. The V which descends from the upper, through the middle, to the lower level, represents the manner in which Spirit, through Thought, manifests as all physical forms and beings.
What About Meditation?
Meditation is a time honored approach to taming, training and transforming the mind, thereby increasing one's experience of peace of mind and sense of connection with Spirit. Religious Science endorses meditation, from creative visualization to more traditional mind stilling techniques.
What About Prayer?
Religious Science honors and endorses all forms of sincere prayer. In addition, it teaches a unique and scientific form of prayer called Spiritual Mind Treatment. This is a powerful, affirmative method of prayer that was developed by Dr. Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science.
What is the Difference Between Prayer and Meditation?
Briefly, prayer is a way of expressing ourselves to Spirit or God, and meditation is listening for the reply.
What is An Affirmation?
The term affirmation is normally associated with a verbal statement that is made about some goal that we are trying to achieve, or some experience we desire to have. However, the act of affirmation is really much more than that. It is an act of faith. It is the ability to put aside your doubt and fear in order to act as if your desired goal were already a reality. In this sense, an affirmation can be any statement, act, or symbolic gesture that affirms the reality of your intentions.
What About Sin?
The original meaning of sin was simply to fall short of or "miss the mark" of spiritual perfection. A sin is not a thing, it is merely an activity that produces an undesirable effect in our lives. In other words, we are punished by our sins, not for them.
What About Evil?
Religious Science does not deny the appearance of evil. However, it teaches that evil does not exist as a force or power in the world. The only Power in the universe is God, which is always Good. The appearance of evil results when we withhold our expression and experience of that good by holding false beliefs in our minds.
What does Religious Science believe about Heaven?
Heaven is neither a physical place nor even a spiritual place. It is simply the state of being that progressively results when we allow the Good of God to flow fully and freely into, through, and as our lives.
What does Religious Science believe about Hell?
Hell is neither a physical place nor even a spiritual place. It is simply the state of being that progressively results when we fail to allow the Good of God to flow fully and freely into, through, and as our lives. Usually this is done by holding false and negative beliefs in mind.
Do You Believe in the Devil?
There is only one Power in the universe, that Power is God, and that Power is always Good. Therefore, the devil simply cannot exist as a force acting in opposition to God. So, there really is no devil. There is only the manifestation of falsely held beliefs within our minds, which can produce the appearance of some sinister invisible force, or being, acting in our lives. To blame unpleasant conditions and circumstances on the devil, or on anyone else, is in reality a way of avoiding responsibility for our own experience of life.
Are There Other Churches with Similar Teachings and Beliefs?
There is a great deal of similarity of beliefs and teachings among Religious Science, Unity Churches, and Divine Science . On the other hand, some organizations with similar-sounding names, such as Scientology and Christian Science, are not similar, and Religious Science is not connected with them in any way.

"Andy and I love to dance, so I wanted to wear something I could move in," says Ami of her gown, from Jin Wang in San Francisco. Andy's Ike Behar tie, from Saks Fifth Avenue, in San Francisco, helped inspire the wedding's orange and yellow color scheme.
Ami and Andy in Annapolis, CA
This couple celebrates with laid back elegance at the groom's vineyard
Ten years ago, Andy and his brother, Nick, opened Peay Vineyards, a 48-acre winery located four miles from the California coast. Ami and Andy decided to have their wedding on the grounds of the winery because it provided a scenic location for their summertime bash that emphasized friends and family, as well as locally produced food and wine.

Learn It
I watched almost all of the videos before I began and thought that was very helpful. Then, I re-watched videos at each step. Susan's instructions are wonderful and the platform has been very helpful (both Susan's responses and reading the other questions from participants).Difficulty:
Category: Sewing
Type of item: Clothing
For: Women
Style: Classic
Navy cotton pique for the dress, silk organza underlining and 'majestic purple' silk crepe de chine for the lining.
What was your inspiration?
My grandmother is an excellent seamstress and always made my holiday clothes growing up. I've wanted to learn how to sew since then but never really took the time. I figured with this was a great way to get a solid foundation with some serious skills.
What are you most proud of?
I'll be most proud of finishing the project and actually wearing the dress!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Take your time, don't be afraid to repeat steps. Take advantage of the platform - I found Susan and others taking the class to be extremely responsive and helpful. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
