There are 3 ways to power an Arduino; through USB, the barrel jack, or directly into the VIN pin. Each option has pros and cons and the method used depends on the project the Arduino is a part of.
Powering an Arduino from a USB is the way used by most people. When an Arduino is connected to a computer to load code, it also provides power for testing. If a project involves interaction with the USB port, in order to send or receive serial data for example, the USB is an easy, no hassle method. However, if a project is mobile or not in close proximity to a computer, a different power option will need to be considered.
Barrel Jack
The Arduino Uno, Mega and Ethernet (as well as the many of the older boards) have a standard 2.1mm center positive barrel jack connector. This jack has a diode to protect the Arduino from reversed polarity. This allows the Arduino to be easily connected to an AC-to-DC adapter or a battery pack. The recommended input voltage for this jack is 7 to 12 volts.
Stationary projects that will be near a wall outlet can be powered with a 9v or 12v wall wart power supply rated at either 1amp or 500ma.
For a mobile project, batteries can also be plugged into the barrel jack. The most basic option is to create a 9v battery adapter. There is a simple tutorial on Arduino's webpage. To power a project with standard 1.5 volt alkaline AA and AAA batteries requires at least a 6x battery holder. If using rechargeable batteries remember that they provide different voltages, NiMH for example is only 1.2 volts. If the power supplied to the Arduino drops below 7v the output of the 5v pin may not be a full 5 volts and the board may become unstable.
VIN Pin
The VIN pin on Arduino boards can be used to tap into the power source plugged into the barrel jack. Some shields will use this as their power source. The VIN pin is after the polarity protection diode so keep in mind that the output will be about .6 to .7 volts less than the input voltage.
This pin can also be used as an input for power. The only difference between the barrel jack and the VIN pin is that the VIN pin is after the polarity protection diode. This means 2 things: first if the power is connected with polarity reversed it will destroy the Arduino and second the power used by the Arduino will be slightly less, leading to longer life if powered from a battery. Once again the type of project and components will determine if this is the best route.
These are the 3 most common ways to power up an Arduino, however keep in mind that not all Arduino boards are exactly alike. The more specialized boards like the Lilypad, Fio and Pro have different power requirements. The new Arduino Ethernet also has an optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) option. Just keep in mind the type of project you are working on and keep experimenting!

Men, Women & Children (2014) – Review
Discover How Little You Know,
About The People You Know
Men, women and children – all react differently in similar or different circumstances. To add to that confusion, we have got technology! All sorts of gadgets, inventions, internet itself pose great problems; some of which can be seen or predicted, while others are just unimaginable. Just as everything has its pros and cons, so does technology. It can help in communication and certain situations but where social media and virtual world is concerned, it can mostly add to troubles and disharmony in all kinds of relationships.
The movie revolves around the lives of a bunch of high school teenage students and their parents. Tim Mooney the football star quits the team. Tim (played by Ansel Elgort whom I just loved in the movie like i loved him in 'The Fault in Our Stars') is faced with a lot of criticism for his decision from everyone and loses his friends too. He starts interacting with a girl Brandy (played by Kaitlyn Dever) whose mom Patricia (Jennifer Garner) takes the expression "tracking your children online" way too seriously. Don and Helen Truby (Adam Sandler and Rosemarie DeWitt respectively) are parents trapped in a sex-less marriage. And two-three more story lines are there. All are intertwined and cross each other's path because of the same high school the kids go to. The movie takes a look at how the lives of these people (they themselves, their relationships and love life), is being affected by the Internet. "Everyone is searching for a better connection." (Another tagline)
The movie has a weird and bizarre beginning. Initially I thought the title could have been better but it is based on a novel of same name by Chad Kultgen. So in the movie there is someone in the background narrating the story line; I thought it is a documentary style thing, but then I realised that's the sound of the narrator we have on all our computers! Quite apt to the theme, must say. That is the level up to which our lives have become dependent on the technology. This comedy-drama film is directed by Jason Reitman who has done a decent job. The ensemble cast, each and everyone in the movie is convincing and have strong on-screen presence. Everyone has done full justice to their roles and gave a real feel to the characters with which the audience can connect.
Watching this movie, made me realize a lot of things:
[This might be a drag; a lot of people might not gather this much from the movie, this is solely my perception and inference]
- I don't know everything about everything! : discovered various short forms, had to look up certain things for reference, gained knowledge about an online role-playing game (world of warcraft) which I think was talked about a lot in big bang theory; but I never really bothered. The impacts this game could have on teenagers (even adults) – is a different debate altogether.
- School is tough on everyone: no matter whether you are the most popular, most unpopular or just a regular student, every teenager is struggling. Every teenager has pressure of one thing or the other. And it's not related to studies at all.
- Too much porn could lead to ED : well that could have been subjective; but one shouldn't take the risk. Right now I am avoiding explaining this in detail. (explained in the movie though!)
- Loneliness attracts loneliness : if a person is alone and they see another loner; they are likely to bond. Might be the understanding of each other's situation angle, or something, but it sure happens. A lot.
- Teenagers want to lose their virginity, just for the heck of it : pretty self-explanatory, but I wonder if this applies to teenagers all over the world and not just America? So yes that gives us the problem of teenage pregnancy.
- Sex isn't everything : in a relationship, other things are important – connection, understanding, conversations, bonding, feeling of 'being at peace' when you are with your significant other, knowing when the other needs you and being there, and most importantly, having so much trust in your partner that you are comfortable being yourself in front of them.
- Parenting is awful lot difficult, much more than it seems to be : knowing what's good and what's bad, when to be a friend and when to behave like a parent again, making choices on their behalf, taking decisions, how much is too much?, where to draw the line?, keep a check all the time, when to let go and when to hold on tight; doing all this plus own work plus house work, and being sane – all at the same time.wow!
- Not every person is a monster on the internet : ought to keep this in mind while trying to protect your daughter from the cyber bullies/crimes/bad guys.
- Not everything is meant for the internet : although this I already knew, but haven't known always (or forget sometimes?). So a good point to mention.
- Intimacy in marriage is highly required : not only sex, intimacy plays an important role in keeping alive a marriage. The little things that eventually lead to sex? Yeah, don't stop doing them just because it's been hell lot of years to your marriage. Try and keep the spark alive, rekindle all the magic you always have had. Try out new things or at least don't stop doing the old ones! Most of the issues can be resolved through discussion. If it doesn't work, try again and always think of the consequences or chances of getting caught if any time 'cheating' crosses you mind. Just make sure you make them feel SPECIAL always.
- Don't ignore the real life (RL) people for virtual ones: just because you have access to internet/social media, doesn't mean you should ignore the people in front of you in RL.
- Communicate. Face to face. : Due to technology and addiction to chatting, people have forgotten how it's like to have a real conversation. So if you don't talk, you don't get to know the person. Hence the very apt tagline.
Besides this, as they say "excess of everything is bad"; same rule applies to technology as well. We have to do our own moral policing and set limits (for children as well). Control is very important. That's the only way we can save ourselves and our loved ones.
This movie is so underrated.
I would call this movie an eye opener on how technology (internet) has screwed up our lives more than it has helped to make it better.
A must watch. I am going to give this movie 9/10

Perry Como
One of the most popular singers of the post-World War II years, Perry Como's vocal style and personal demeanor were always relaxed, unruffled and seemingly untroubled. Como studied the "crooner" style of Bing Crosby and fellow Italian-American Russ Columbo, mellowing it out even further and becoming a beloved presence on radio, record, and television well into the 1960s. Sadly, it's hard to think of another American singer who was as big as Como was, for as long as he was, yet whose recorded legacy has almost completely disappeared from the public consciousness. Though he deserves better, two things have probably kept Como's vast catalogue of songs from seeming relevant decades after they were recorded (the way that Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Dean Martin's catalogues have). First, Como never fought against the tidal wave of goofy novelty numbers labels and publishers passed his way, so digging out the gems requires some patience. Second, his serene "sailing above the clouds" style lacks the attention to lyrics and the jazz foundation that even Bing Crosby, the king of the lackadaisical crooners, displayed. This is a shame because Como was a very good singer, and much of his m... See More

Occurring during the same year as he learned of the true nature of his birth, these events deeply affected Darin and sent him into a long period of seclusion.
Although he made a successful television comeback, his health was beginning to fail, as he had always expected, following bouts of rheumatic fever in childhood. This knowledge of his vulnerability had always spurred him on to exploit his musical talent while still young. He died at 37, following a heart operation in Los Angeles.

By definition one who is subjected to oppression, loss or suffering.
When you hear of someone this happens to, you say 'How Sad'.
Oh, but it is so easy to inflict and for a victim so easy to accept.
Repeated denial of self, needs, wants, desires by others over a time;
Breeds a deep seated inferiority complex that barricades ones spirit
From realizing their worth and obtaining primary elements to happiness.
Some would say, be assertive, demand what you want and need.
Get it when you want, be your own person, have it your way;
But can you not see, that the result of this will produce a victim.
Where is the balance?
How do you justify being?
When does everyone get what they want?
How can a victim not be produced?
How does one stop being a victim?
Where do you draw the line?
Which do you think you are?

GHD have made a number of different versions of hair straighteners over the years. Here is our best efforts at a list, most recent models first.
"GHD Gold" - Not repairable
This is a very recent model and should not be confused with the older GHD Mk5 model which was sometimes called the GHD Mk5 Gold (see the Mk5 photos below). We can repair the old GHD Mk5/MkV/5.0 Gold model, but we can't repair this new "GHD Gold". This has a two year warranty from GHD, contact GHD for any warranty claims.
Platinum S8T261 & S8T262 - Not repairable
These models cannot be repaired. There is more info about the model on the Platinum page. If a pair breaks under warranty GHD just throw them away and send out a new pair. For details of why see our FAQ page on the subject.
Eclipse - Not repairable
Theis models cannot be repaired. If a pair breaks under warranty GHD just throw them away and send out a new pair. For details of why see our FAQ page on the subject.
Therefore please bear in mind that once out of warranty, they cannot be repaired if/when they break. For more information about the Eclipse model, see the Eclipse page.
Mk5 / MkV- Can be repaired
The Mk5 (V) version of GHDs are marked with the model 5.0 (normal 1" wide), SS5.0 (2" wide), MS5.0 (0.5" wide) etc. The new SC5 Contour is, other than the ceramic plates, the same as the SS5 and can be repaired.
They are sometimes called the Mk5 gold, but do come in other colours as well. For more details, please have a look at the GHD 5.0 page.
Mk4 / Mk IV - Can be repaired
The Mk4 (IV) version GHDs are all clearly marked with the model number on the label opposite the power switch. They also have a different style hinge to all previous models:
There are many different variations of this model in different colours (purple, white, black, pink etc) including.... click the links for more details!
- GHD 4.0 (Pink)
- GHD 4.2B Black and Silver
- GHD 4.2B Purple
- GHD SS 4.0 (2" wide plate version)
- GHD MS 4.0 (0.5" narrow plate version)
3.1B - Can be Repaired
This is the second generation of Mk3 iron. They are clearly marked with the model number on the label opposite the power switch:
The following models are based upon this model.... click the links for more details!
- GHD 3.1 (Baby Pink)
- GHD 3.2 - US version
- GHD 3.3 - A very rare hot pink version
- GHD SS2 - wide plate version
GHD 3 - Can be repaired
This model is normally marked with the model number on the label opposite the power switch on the inside of the arm. This model is very similar to the GHD3.1B, apart from it has two small screws which attach the mains switch cover:
There are two other models that are based upon the GHD3 which are the wide and narrow versions.
Older Model - Can be repaired
Pre Mk 3
These are quite old now and frequently do not have any model number marking as they do not have a label. It's easy to tell if you have this model, as they have a "square" end like this:
Fake Irons - Not repairable
There were once lot of fake GHDs on the market. These were mainly copies of Mk4 GHDs, however there are some fake 3.1B/P's and MK5 around.

But every once in a while a success story rises to the top. On Tuesday at the Special Olympics at Saline High School, 13 kids from Terri Redding's and Nicole Burnell's resource rooms at Heritage Elementary School presented a $775.50 check to Jackie Flores, the co-director of Washtenaw County Special Olympics. "They'd never seen a check that big before because everything is digitalized for them so they were like 'wow we're going to give them this big piece of paper,'" Burnell said. The students were invited to the games on Tuesday because they chose to donate the proceeds from their Buttons for a Cause project to the Special Olympics. "I loved it," Redding said. "I was so proud of them that's what they picked. It was even cooler when we reached out to the director of the Special Olympics and she invited us to the games at the high school." The money they donated came from the hard work of the students, but it couldn't have happened without "Team McReddell" as they call themselves. Redding and Burnell collaborated with Heritage art teacher Kevin McCown to help students create buttons that they designed, drew and made. "The kids went around the building and they picked a staff member who they wanted to interview," Redding said. "Based on the answers to the questions, they created a unique button for that staff member." The kids in Redding's and Burnell's Resource Rooms are typically a few grades behind their peers. The project proved to be a great way to get the kids to break out of their shell. "I think it's awesome because these kids who typically would not be social in a group or would not talk to teachers they don't know are out there and talking and meeting new people," Redding said. "There is a student in Ms. Burnell's room who has limited verbal skills and the button he did when I look at it I get choked up every time because it is absolutely amazing to me." For the students, it took a lot of hours of hard work to get their buttons in their final form. "We had to do a draft and we had one design and then we made the buttons with a button machine," said Heritage student Matthew Kotus. "I had to redo some buttons," Heritage student Cooper Lechard said. "We decided it wasn't good enough so I just remade it. Now it's my best." In order to get the students some real world experience and to bring in the community, the three teachers also worked with Jen McPherson, owner of McPherson Local in Saline. McPherson sold the buttons at her store and also had some of the students come into her store where they sold the buttons themselves. "I was totally on board with it right away and I thought the project was awesome, I thought the kids were awesome," McPherson said. McPherson sold the buttons for $1 and took none of the profits, which she said was an easy choice. "I didn't even have to think about it for a second," McPherson said. After the button project was finished, McPherson said she was left feeling proud to live in a community with such great educators. "I can't say enough good things about Terri and Kevin," McPherson said. "They are just absolutely amazing teachers. I feel like those kids are really fortunate to have had both of them and to be involved in a project like this and we just feel honored that we were asked to be apart of it and that we get to come along for the ride because it is really cool to watch." After choosing to donate to the Humane Society last year, the students voted to donate to the Special Olympics this year without any direction, Redding said. "It makes you get a lump in your throat and it's very emotional," Redding said. McPherson said she was delighted with the reaction she saw from the community in her store. "However they found out, they were so supportive," McPherson said. "People would buy as many as they could and they would come in specifically for the buttons and then we would have a display on the counter so if they weren't familiar with the project, a lot of times that display would catch their eye." The project was a lot of hard work for both the teachers and the kids, but seeing the final result at the Special Olympics was well worth it, Burnell said. "This here, like the culminating activities, for them to see all the work they did and the conversation we had today where they were saying, 'we gave up our recess, we gave up our Saturday's' and they didn't mind and so this is so exciting to see it all come together for them," Burnell said. The kids said they were excited to be at the event, outside and away from school. "We get to skip math class!" Heritage student Maren Robinson said. "I've never really been to a Special Olympics game and I wanted to see what it would be like," Heritage student Hayden Cole said. "We're helping people, so it feels good" Lechard said.

ISO 9001 certification in Saudi Arabia is a very good tool for process improvement. To ensure an effective quality management system, preventive and corrective measures are taken. These bodies help the organizations in Saudi to get certified. An interesting thing to note here is that ISO 9001 is the only standard in ISO 9000 series which can be certified.
Cost of ISO Certificate registration
While considering the cost multiple factors are to be considered. The cost of ISO certificate or certificates is variable. There are many factors involved which are as follows-
- Type of industry
- Type of territory
- Region in which it is located
- Manpower
- Standards Implemented already
- Certifying industry
The charges may vary from country to country. Also, there are additional surveillance charges which are applied from second and third year. But if the cost benefit ratio is considered, it seems affordable. The standard is based on the process approach and risk based thinking.
Things to be taken care of during certification process
Below are the few points which need to be taken care of or kept in mind when one thinks of getting involved in the ISO certification in Saudi Arabia.
- Always verify the certificate through online means.
- Ask for audit reports filed by the auditor
- You can opt for any standard irrespective of the industry but general advice is to go for standard 9001 as it a a general standard and covers almost everything.
- ISO is an international organization whose motive is to implement global standards across all the industries.
Pros and cons of getting ISO done by a consultant
- You tend to get genuine and solid advice and you don't have to brain storm about each and every step.
- Continuous improvement- The management system is focused on continuously improving the business processes.
- Hiring a consultant would cost too much.
- There is no promise of you getting the ISO 9001 certification.
- It is a time consuming process.
- Sometimes people fall in trap of false/ fake consultants.
Advantages of the ISO standard and certification in a nutshell
Due to huge competition it has become difficult to sustain in the market. Hence, the need to ISO 9001 certification in Saudi Arabia is in high demand. It is designed in such a manner that can fit in any organization irrespective of it s nature and size. The two pillars of the standard are-
- Customer satisfaction
- Continuous improvement
Step by step implementation process
The process methodology involves various stages. The steps involved in achieving ISO 9001 certification in Saudi Arabia for an organization are
- Gap analysis
- Awareness training
- Templates and documentation
- Internal audit training
- Internal audit
- Management review meeting
ISO 9001 is considered as the mother of all other ISO standards because implementing the ISO certification consultant in Saudi Arabia standard forms a good foundation in order to integrate other management system which is published by international organization for standardization.

It is with feelings of despair that I have been contemplating the fact that winter is over and summer will soon unleash itself upon me in all its scorching, humid glory. However, I have managed to think of one fairly major reason why summer might be preferable to winter, even for a cold-dweller like me.
Yes, outside might be unbearable. But inside, in summer, becomes a large and wonderful refrigerator.
You see, Koreans have a rather odd outlook on the temperature. I'd have thought that the miracle of modern heating and cooling technology would mean that we could keep the interior of buildings at the same comfortable temperature all year long, regardless of the temperature outside. I don't know exactly what this comfortable temperature is, but it wouldn't make you sweat or shiver.
But for some reason, people in Korea like to make the indoor climate feel like the exact opposite of the outdoor one. It's like they're over-compensating. It's freezing cold outside – but inside, it feels like a hot summer's day! It's swelteringly hot outside – but inside, it feels like the coldest day in January!
It's altogether bizarre. And in winter, it kills me. I'm not much for socialising as it is, but in winter I want to leave almost as soon as I've arrived in a bar or restaurant, because the heat is suffocating. Last night, I went for drinks for a friend's birthday at Ethnic Bar, where you sit on the floor at low tables amidst candles and flowers and lanterns and suchlike. All very charming, except that the underfloor heating was turned up so high that I felt like I was about to burst into flames as I sat there. I could feel the heat spreading up through my feet and legs as I sat there squirming miserably, until soon my face was bright red and all I could think about was getting outside into the cold air. When I got home, I stripped off and switched on the fan in an effort to cool myself down – a common occurrence in summer after I've walked home, but not what I'd expect to be doing when you can still see your breath on the air outside!
At school, it can get almost as bad, except that I do have some control over the temperature in my classroom (in that I can open the window). That doesn't stop the burning of the underfloor heating, mind you. Last term, I actually refused to teach my last kindergarten class of the day because the classroom had heated up to a temperature that was utterly unbearable to me, even dressed in the single light layer that gets me shocked and disapproving stares from all the Korean teachers in their sweaters and scarves. I literally could not bear to stand on that hot floor. It felt like it was burning right through my feet (remember we don't wear shoes indoors).
And so – in a weird twist – summer, when it arrives with its searing outdoor heat and oppressive humidity, will mean that I can once again feel comfortable indoors. The floor will be cool on my feet. The aircon will be blasting icy air. Fans will be circulating the coldness. And I will be one happy Hails. Because yes, they really do take it to the other extreme in summer, chilling rooms to the freezing temperatures they're so desperate to eliminate in winter. Outside is horribly hot, but when you walk into a bar or restaurant and the cold air hits you, it's almost worth the walk in the heat to get there. One of my South African friends sat in her coat as we watched a football match in a bar last summer. I, on the other hand, basked in the coldness wearing only a strappy top, shorts, and a big smile.
Oh, Korea… I love your culture, your people, your beautiful scenery, your cities, your quirks, and your children. If only your climate could be just a little bit Irish!

Post-Workout Soreness Slowing You Down?
Exercise is a beautiful thing. It can provide clarity of thought, an extra boost of energy to help get you through the day, and a sense of accomplishment when the last mile and/or final rep is completed.
Not to mention, try working out consistently for a few weeks and tell me you don't feel just a little bit better and enjoy your reflection in the mirror just a little bit more!
There are SO many benefits to exercise, but, if we're being honest, there are a few downsides as well… Namely, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness also known as DOMS.
You know what I'm talking about… DOMS is that pesky soreness that "magically" appears a day or 2 after your first Barre class, new weight training routine, or first morning run after the family summer vacation. Sometimes it feels like you can barely move!
What Causes DOMS?
Many are under the false impression that DOMS is caused by lactic acid and if you thought that too, it's understandable.
Researchers did once believe DOMS to be caused by lactic acid, and a buildup of lactic acid does cause the "burn" felt during your last rep. But new studies have shown that acid levels return to normal within 60 minutes of exercise completion and are not a contributing factor to Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
In truth, we experience DOMS because of microscopic damage to our muscle fibers and the natural inflammation that follows.
The result is that annoying muscle discomfort which, depending on your workout, can range from mild soreness to I-think-I'll-stay-in bed-all-day kind of muscle pain.
Researchers have determined that certain exercises are more likely to cause DOMS than others. According to Jon Mike, a PhD candidate in Exercise Science at the University of New Mexico…
"Eccentric muscle contraction is more likely to be the culprit because it places a higher load on your muscles."
A good example of an eccentric muscle contraction exercise is a bicep curl… the eccentric part happening when the arm muscles lengthen as you slowly lower the dumbbell and resist the weight.
Running downhill is another example; your legs muscles work to slow your momentum so you don't go head-over-heels down the slope.
These eccentric exercises, when done correctly, have been proven to have the most impact on muscle development - so it's no surprise they're also the leading cause in muscle soreness!
DOMS Prevention
DOMS is a natural ailment that will typically go away on it's own after few days. But there are a few tricks to ease your discomfort and potentially allow your muscles to heal more quickly…
Stay hydrated. That's right, good ol' H2O is a key factor in the fight against DOMS! Without a sufficient amount of water, the cells in your muscles won't be able to properly repair damaged tissue through protein synthesis.
Feed yourself. Water alone won't keep DOMS at bay. You need to provide your body with vital nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and antioxidants to help refuel and repair your muscles. Might I suggest a post-workout protein shake?
Sleep on it. Your body needs rest to recover from DOMS and is best able to restore itself during a quality night's sleep. Don't overlook the importance of your beauty rest in the recovery process!
Feeling bold? Try a contrast shower… A fancy term for alternating the water's temperature from warm to cold in a series of timed intervals. This technique works by opening and closing blood vessels creating a "pumping" action that decreases pain and inflammation in muscle tissue.
Keep moving. This may sound counterintuitive, but a light workout - yoga, pilates, a quick jog, etc. - can greatly reduce soreness. This is because exercise gets the blood pumping, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the sore muscles.
Maybe it's just time to pamper yourself! Research has shown that a gentle massage of the aggravated muscles activates inflammation reducing genes. If you're experiencing muscle soreness due to your latest workout, consider booking a session with the local massage therapist!
Feelin' foamy? If a professional message just doesn't fit the budget right now, you can go a long way on your own with just a foam roller! Try lightly rolling over each major muscle group and see how you feel.
All in all, DOMS is a small price to pay for the numerous benefits associated with consistent exercise. But, if it does happen to be putting a damper on your day, try combatting it with the above tricks!

Thomas Knüwer is appointed Executive CD at Kolle Rebbe
The agency's senior creative management team is being strengthened.
Kolle Rebbe is promoting the long-standing lead creative Thomas Knüwer (35) to the role of executive creative director. In doing so, the Hamburg agency is strengthening its senior creative management team, which also includes the managing directors Stefan Wübbe and Fabian Frese as well as the ECDs Rolf Leger (art and design) and Andreas Brunsch (tech and digital). Knüwer will support the creative management on key accounts in his new position and continue to generate new business across the company. Above all else, however, he will be responsible for developing the agency and the creative side.
'Thomas is one of the best all-round creatives in Germany. He is a first-class art director with a brilliant strategic mind. He also has the incredible ability to develop innovative solutions by combining the aspects of technology and creation,' says creative managing director Fabian Frese.
'He has grown up at Kolle Rebbe, He embodies everything the agency represents and is the perfect man for the job of continuing to develop the agency.'
After completing his design degree, he began his career at Jung von Matt/Alster in Hamburg, where he was working for clients such as Mercedes-Benz and Bosch. In 2009, he joined Kolle Rebbe as an art director. The agency had already made him a creative director by 2011, ultimately becoming lead creative in 2014. He looks after a range of clients, including Netflix, DAZN, Heycar, Cremesso, Apple, Momondo, Google and YouTube. Knüwer is an ADC member and has received numerous national and international awards for his work – at the ADC and Cannes Lions, among others.

Earlier today I started work on a song titled "(We're) Singing For Freedom", it's a song I first recorded acoustically back in 2013 but this time around I need your help!
My plan is to have as many people joining in on the chorus as I possibly can as the song was written to be a sang at marches and/or demonstrations, like Give Peace A Chance was in 1969. Of course this song is more directed toward the welfare of animals and equality in society along with the anti-war message.
You can hear the song in it's early stages at this SoundCloud link: https://soundcloud.com/rossmayhewonline/were-singing-for-freedom-demo
The song is being recorded at Sound Gallery Studios in Exeter and I would like to get as many people to come along as possible to add their voices to the chorus, which is:
"We're singing for freedom
We're singing for freedom
singing for freedom
for every life on earth"
Of course if you are not able to get to Exeter in Devon – as i suspect most you aren't – but you have the ability to record yourself singing along you can email the audio file or video clip of yourself singing and I will add it to the song.
So if this is something you would like to take part in please get in touch. I would like to release the song on World Vegan Day so I'd hope to be able to schedule a recording session during September that works well for all those who'd wish to take part.
I hope you can join me in singing a song for freedom.

Islam is one of the world's most ancient religions, no wonder that the number of its proponents becomes bigger with each coming day. Yukie Tatta, a project researcher at the Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology, Tokyo, delivered a great lecture about Muslim people in Europe. The author aptly shows all the growing tensions which Muslim population causes in the European countries. These tensions tackle the problems of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, even identity of nations (the amount of Muslims on the European continent grows with the unimaginable speed – it doubled in past 30 years and is going to double again by 2015). From Mrs Tatta's lecture I realized that if the problem is not recognized by policy-makers, then Europe can change drastically over the next few decades.
I was quite impressed about the act of Danish Theo van Gogh who, in a very negative way, shot a movie about Muslims and who was threatened and then killed in Amsterdam by a Muhammad Bouyari for insulting Islam. This case caused a wave of panic among the Dutch signaling for the possible growth of Islamic terrorism.

When France banned wearing hijab for Muslim women, it caused a lot of protests too. The French government states that we live in a shared society and hijab-wearers are relegated to the inferior status which is not compatible with the French understanding of equality, the lecturer continued sharing with us interesting information.
What concerns the very presentation, Mrs Tatta behaved as a real professional. I learnt that to have a good eye contact and speak with different intonations is very important to keep the audience interested. It is very helpful that she used so many visual aids – it facilitated my understanding a lot (especially when she told us about the tension between Muslims and European governments – the video had a great impact on me, helping me to understand all the acuteness of the situation better). On the other hand, I got an idea that she wasn't really thinking about the way she would lead the presentation as I could notice several times that she lost the track of thought or could not find the needed visuals and video. Her body language, however, was excellent. She knows how to gain people's attention and affection. Even when she did not know what to say for several seconds, she behaved with confidence, without showing her embarrassment. She gave me a good lesson.

KU News Release
Jan. 24, 2011
Contact: Phil Wilke, Kansas Public Radio, (785) 864-5016
Kansas Public Radio presents a night of TV-themed jazz
LAWRENCE — Kansas Public Radio's "Retro Cocktail Hour" will present another night of live music on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Pachamama's in downtown Lawrence, when trumpeter Stan Kessler and his band Television take audiences on a jazzy musical tribute into TV land.
Attendees will hear some of the wacky and wonderful TV tunes of the 1950s and '60s, including themes from "Leave it to Beaver," "Star Trek," "Dragnet," "Rocky and Bullwinkle" and "The Flintstones."
Tickets are $10 and on sale at KPR's website. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for appetizers and cocktails from the Pachamama's menu. Show starts at 8 p.m.
Television plays new jazz arrangements of archetypal television themes. The melodies are intact, but the themes have been reharmonized and placed in different rhythmic contexts. Styles run the gamut, from swing to funk to Latin, even ballads. Often funny, always irreverent, these tunes show off the depth of the bands' talent and versatility. Audiences are sure to be entertained when they recognize favorite themes placed in a different musical environment.
Bandleader Stan Kessler plays the trumpet and flugelhorn. The other Television players are Roger Wilder on keyboards, Jeff Harshbarger on bass and Tim Cambron on drums.
Over the course of their careers, members of Television have played with some of the greatest names in jazz, including Clark Terry, Karrin Allyson, Kevin Mahogany, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and Dave Brubeck.

Studio Style backdrop
Be the first to write a review for this item
Have your bike or car superimposed into my studio style backdrop without spending half a day taking it to a studio. Colour coded to suite with a side on or 3/4 option where its all about the car and creating a great simplistic feature piece of art of your passion. Although this angle is a tricky shot to get so let me know if you need any tips or of course I can arrange to travel to and do a full photo shoot too but when completed looks great on canvas, acrylic glass or metal.
This backdrop was photographed and enhanced by Rob Paston so It can be customised further to create your special work of art. Also available as a limited edition print.


text: WASHINGTON-Tibet's exile prime minister, Samdhong Rimpoche, on Thursday urged Tibetan exiles in the West to take a more active role in campaigning against China�s heavy-handed rule over the Himalayan region. "Tibetans in the West are better educated, economically better off, and politically better informed" than Tibetans inside Tibet or living in exile in India, he said in an interview with Radio Free Asia (RFA). "All Tibetans, and the exile government in particular, must make full use their potential. We appeal to them to get actively involved in our campaign for freedom." Samdhong Rimpoche said he planned to discuss with U.S. Under Secretary of State Paula Dobriansky the possibility of stepped-up cooperation between the United States and Europe toward "resolving the Tibetan issue through dialogue." "We will also be discussing how best the U.S. government, Congress, and other organizations can coordinate for opening a substantial dialogue with the Chinese leadership," he said. Samdhong Rimpoche, elected exile prime minister last August, arrived in New York from Dharamsala, India, on July 4. After Toronto and Washington, he goes on to Minnesota to attend the Conference of North American Tibetan Associations before returning to India July 14. "Many Tibetans who are well educated, experienced, and politically seasoned are now living in North America," he said. "We thought it very important to meet them, inform them of our views and concerns, and also learn their views and concerns." "We also thought it very important to meet members of Congress who have been strong supporters of Tibet and Tibetans for a long time." Samdhong Rimpoche hoped for dialogue "as soon as possible" between Tibetan and Chinese leaders but said there were no indications when that might happen. Meeting with RFA's Tibetan service staff, Samdhong Rimpoche described RFA-which broadcasts to Tibet in three dialects-as "the most extensive and best source of news on Tibet." Some 32,000 exiled Tibetans cast votes at makeshift polling stations around the world on July 29, 2001, with 85 percent favoring Samdhong Rinpoche over his opponent. He will hold the post until 2006. Previously, Tibetan prime ministers in exile were nominated by the Dalai Lama and elected by the Assembly of Tibetan Deputies. Samdhong Rimpoche is a former chairman of the Tibetan exile parliament and a political moderate, who has in the past advocated Gandhi-style nonviolent resistance to Chinese rule in Tibet. Thousands of Tibetans, including the Dalai Lama, have fled their homeland since China annexed the territory in 1950. Radio Free Asia (RFA) broadcasts news, information, and cultural programming to Asian listeners who lack regular access to full and balanced reporting in their domestic media. Through its broadcasts and call-in programs, RFA aims to fill a critical gap in the lives of people across Asia-giving them a voice as well as a means of connecting with the world and with one another. Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA currently broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Mandarin, the Wu dialect, Vietnamese, Tibetan (Uke, Amdo, and Kham), and Uyghur. It adheres to the highest standards of journalism and aims to exemplify accuracy, balance, and fairness in its editorial content.
