Ecoducts - reduce conflict between wildlife and roads
Bridge wildlife (ecoduct) provides safe passage and path for many animals living in the wild, thus avoiding the dangers of the highway.
The first such bridge in combination with wildlife, were built in France in 1950.
Later in all European countries began building different crossing structures to reduce conflict between wildlife and roads in several decades using various overpasses and underpasses to protect and restore wildlife and endangered species such as the : amphibians, badgers, ungulates, invertebrates, and other small mammals.
Netherlands as an example.
In the land of tulips were built more than 600 tunnels installed under main and secondary roads. For a few years the Dutch managed to significantly increase the population of endangered European badger.
The longest ecoduct also is located in the Netherlands.
It is located near the city Kralio, is 800 meters long and covers highway, railroad and golf course.

There are things that smell gross to a normal person. There are things that smell horrible to a person with a strong sense of smell. Then are the odors that let us know that we are indeed with child. Hormones are to blame, but there is nothing that can prepare you for the stench that lurks beneath your nose.
Here are 10 odors that smell even worse when you are pregnant.
1. Cigarette smoke. I smoked for many years and always LOVED the smell of cigarettes. Walking down a street behind someone who is smoking or past the doorway of a restaurant where smokers are hanging out has a gag effect like no other.
2. The fish department at the grocery store. Cart past this aisle and you may become so grossed out that you will become a vegetarian.
3. Stale urine on the streets. I live in Los Angeles and there are public places that although lovely tend to attract homeless people. They may use the same sidewalk you walk on with your family as a toilet. Hey, if I were homeless I'd live in Santa Monica, too, but that waft of their toilet to a pregnant person is tough stuff.
4. The cheese shop. Sure. you crave all sorts of cheeses. You indulge. BUT -- walk into a shop that devotes its life to cheese while you are with child and feel your throat tighten up quicker than you can say Cheddar.
5. Buffalo wings. Whether or not you eat them, they always have a strong smell. When you are pregnant and those wings are brought within 10 feet of you -- you now know what it's like to work at Hooters.
6. Sour dairy. Forget checking the date on your milk. Just walk by your fridge and you'll know if you should toss the carton.
7. A toddler's poop. It's so hard to keep your smile when you are faced with the poop of your first child. Is this what your husband feels like when he claims he's had a "sensitive nose" all these years?
8. Beer. How could something that smells so refreshing go in such a hideous direction. Don't go to the ball park without caution and just make it a rule not to take out the recycling ever.
9. Bad breath. Usually your sense of smell isn't strong enough to detect most peoples' breath. At a restaurant the other day, the server was reading the specials and I could smell her breath from my seat. Needless to say, I ordered off the printed menu.
10. Pets. I'm not one for animals anyway, but homes that house pets or even walking by a pet store at the mall is really foul. The smell is so bad it makes me think humans and animals shouldn't live together.
What smells get to you during your pregnancy?

Ugh EVERYTHING this time! It's terrible! Smoke especially, followed closely by gasoline, cars in general, and coffee in the very beginning... it was sooooooo intense. yuck. Now 6 mos in, its sort of dying down... thank God!
Nothing really bothered me when I was pregnant with my second, but with my first it was bread! I couldn't walk down the bread aisle at the grocery store without barfing.
I hated the smell and taste of garlic when i was pregnant. HATED IT!! Normally I love garlic and still cook with it often, but it had a different taste/smell then.
I couldn't stand the smell of SO's aftershave, air freshener, or laundry detergent!
Other people. I could smell a woman with hormone issues from a mile away. One guy smelled like pepper.
On normal drive between work and home I have to pass a dog food factory, when pregnant I couldn't drive past it with out throwing up so for both pregnancies I had to take an alternate route across town that added about 20 min to my commute but it was worth it not having to deal with vomiting daily.
the only things that smelled horrible to me were fast food and perfume. i had cats but they didn't smell any different to me. i was at the movies with my df when i was 6 months pregnant. a lady behind us had on perfume. it smelled so horrible i had to run to the bathroom to throw up.
My first one, I had to ban my husband from eating summer sausage in my presence. This pregnancy, it's beer; my hubby likes his beer, but he isn't allowed to breath close to me when he drinks it.

Lamborghini Veneno
[Press release] In the year of its 50th anniversary Automobili Lamborghini is presenting an extremely exclusive model at the Geneva Motor Show 2013. Only three unique units of the Lamborghini Veneno will be built and sold. Its design is consistently focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornering stability, giving the Veneno the real dynamic experience of a racing prototype, yet it is fully homologated for the road. With a maximum output of 552 kW / 750 hp, the Veneno accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and the top speed for this street-legal racing car stands at 355 km/h (221 mph). It is priced at three million Euros plus tax – and all three units have already been sold to customers.
The Lamborghini Veneno features a twelve-cylinder power unit with a displacement of 6.5 liters, an extremely fast-shifting 7-speed ISR transmission with 5 driving modes and permanent all-wheel drive, as well as a racing chassis with pushrod suspension and horizontal spring/damper units.
Veneno is the name of one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever. He is also famous for being one of the fastest bulls in the history of bullfighting. His name became popular in 1914, when he fatally wounded the famous torero José Sánchez Rodríguez during the bullfight in the arena Sanlúcar de Barrameda's, Andalusia, Spain.

This does take some time but if you're looking for a truly old-fashioned flavor, this is it. And just since I love it so much, I did remove 1/2 cup of water in the filling and replaced it with bourbon. Really delicious. The hardest part was letting it sit for a few days before eating it.

When I was of a young age
I'd often sneak into bed with my mother to watch television.
When I could hear my father's footsteps approaching
I'd cuddle up to my mom,
Hoping that I was tiny enough
To not be seen.
I wished to hide
And not have to leave.
Slowly, I'd drag myself out of my small, warm bed,
Attempting to make my way down the hall without passing out or puking.
My new place of rest would still be warm
With the heat my mother's body left behind.
Comfortable there, I would waste my time
Sleeping and watching cartoons
While waiting for my bowl of soup to arrive at noon.
I'd cry out for my mom while running to the bathroom
And she'd meet me there with a wet cloth in her hand.
Gently she'd pull my hair back
While I stayed put with my head above the toilet.
I'd puke until I could puke no more,
And the whole time she'd slowly be rubbing my back.
Afterwards she'd hand me the cloth
That she so patiently had been holding
So I could wipe my face before preparing myself for bed
Once again.
I took her for granted,
Always expecting her to be there,
But now I am alone
With no one to comfort me
Through my sickness,
And I wish for those days of my childhood
When she would stand by my side
In the middle of the night.
Alone I stand in the middle of a field
Covered in a blanket of fresh, white snow,
Some still sprinkling gently down from the cold grey sky.
My vision is distorted,
Blurred greatly by the cloud that quietly sits only feet from the ground.
How I got here, I wonder,
As I begin to trudge in any direction I can, struggling to find my way.
So long it seems I have been walking, getting no closer to civilization,
And the fog shows no signs of lifting.
With my head slightly spinning and my body so tired,
I collapse into a bed of snow
And wake up immediately in my warm, dark room, alone.
flooding in my head,
drowning my mind,
and I cannot drain them.
What would it feel like to have the whole ocean against you,
To struggle against the strength its waves throw at you
And constantly crawl through salty water
For sips of the air us humans must breathe in order to live?
What would it feel like
To fight against such outrageous power
And lose,
Sinking slowly into its dark beauty, away from the sunlight
That reaches through the blue for you?
After the burning [oh, the burning!]
A peaceful dream may wash over you,
Just as the ocean once did
When it first welcomed you into its flowing arms.
Years from now, I'll be remembered
As the girl who never spoke,
The girl who was emotionless,
Years from now, people will talk about me,
What I was really like.
Will they still think that I'm
A stuck-up bitch,
Better than everyone,
Just 'cause I was able to hold my head
Higher than they ever could?
Years from now, will they still consider me a freak
Because of my lack of words, lack of actions,
Lack of reactions?
Years from now, they'll have forgotten why they never liked me,
But I'll never forget why I hated them.
I'll laugh at them all for being so stupid,
Years from now.

Morning, folks.
As you all probably know, much of the furious anger at Saturday's defeat is yet to subside. It's a minefield out there, folks. You need only once inadvertently say the wrong thing – usually positive – to have the combined wrath of Twitter fall upon you.
I wouldn't really want to dispute with anyone about their right to be angry. God knows, I'm angry. We lost in the most pathetic way imaginable in a game that was of huge significance. Had we taken a moment to envisage the worst case scenario before kick-off, the thoughts and views conjured would probably bare striking resemblance to that which occurred. It was an altogether sh*tty day – compounded for me by a startling shaving error that resulted in the need to remove the vast majority of my beard. Continue reading

Glenn Beck – Accessory to Murder
Glenn Beck is an accessory to murder. I think that many people have known this for a long time now. Of course, he's never pulled the trigger himself, but that doesn't change the fact that he is responsible for making killers into what they are, and ordinary gullible people into violent conservatives.
Conservatives have always been a violent group, supporting militarism, retribution, and a tribal us versus them worldview. Vicious rhetoric is no stranger to them. But not since the era of Senator Joseph McCarthy before have we seen such violent rhetoric normalized and promulgated over mass media. Fox 'News' is omnipresent throughout today's media, and their formula to success is to promote sensationalism with a mob mentality. Their very red meat is presenting exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies as news with impunity.
There are no fact-checking organizations that have the same reach as Fox into the public square, so many of their assertions are simply repeated as facts until proven wrong. Even then, Fox acts as if they either never said anything or did nothing wrong, and simply moves on to the next work of sensational rubbish. Some hold the view that this is okay, as long as people only watch Fox for opinion rather than facts or news. Glenn Beck has proven the power to single-handedly prove them wrong. His opinions, time and time again, incite people to violence.
There's a litany of examples that I could turn to, but first let's go to the most recent example of Professor Frances Piven. Ms. Piven is 78 years old, and she is a widow. But these are just things to make one feel even more pity for her -- they're not even relevant in light of the events. We all know how Glenn likes to find a person and rant about them with the help of his famous chalkboard, crocodile tears, and unfounded accusations. Well unfortunately, Ms. Piven happened to be his latest target.
45 years ago -- yes, you read that right, 45 years -- Professor Piven co-authored an article with her husband about establishing a national guaranteed income. The topic of the article (again, not entirely relevant) was a call for a movement to overwhelm public welfare rolls in order to bring this about. It's not a view that makes sense to me, because I don't think that ends justify means. But nevertheless, there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a minimum national income. Or is there? There sure is, or at least that's what Glenn Beck says. According to him, average people with money is known as "the fall of capitalism". And if we're talking about the Republican version of capitalism, in which income disparity continues to grow by the year, then I'm actually inclined to agree with him. Disgusting.
Anyhow, it seems like Piven is Beck's latest Van Jones (remember that?), and his sick lie-filled rants are proving just as effective. Van Jones, as we know, resigned. Well Piven is 78 years old, and a bit past the point where she can just retire from the spotlight to get away from Beck. In fact, she'd already done that -- these articles were written when Beck was only two years old. So why did he do it? Maybe he figured that if he picked any relevant material it would be too easy for people to call him out on his crap. Maybe he'd exhausted his supply of modern ranting material. Or maybe, he's just a drunken Mormon dingbat that sees something and wants to yell about it. I pick the latter.
But I digress. Ever since Glenn started his deranged little pontifications, conservatives have been doing what they do best -- they listen without thinking, they get angry without seeing why, and then they get violent. And in this case, they threaten to kill. Piven has received threats to her email including, but of course not limited to 'Die you c***' and 'May cancer find you soon'. Comments were posted on Beck's site directed at her. "Maybe they should burst through the front door of this arrogant elitist and slit the hateful cow's throat." "Big Lots having a rope sale I hear, you buy the rope and I will hang the wench. I will spin her as she hangs." Beck's program has never even tried to contact Piven.
Of course, Beck claims to denounce violence. Fox claims to denounce violence. But this, of course, is just another lie in a long string of fabrications from the people responsible for a litany of death threats, pressured resignations, and even killings. If they cared about these threats, if they did not support these threats, they'd delete them from their websites, they'd apologize, and Beck would speak out against them on his show. Hell, I'll make a vow right now -- if anybody ever comments on my site with a serious death threat, I'll delete it. And if it lasts long enough for somebody to catch wind of it, I'll apologize. It's only the right thing to do.
Threats of violence and death from Beck's crowd are old news to us, and old hat to them. What's (only slightly) newer? Actual killing. Of course, he didn't quite make it, but let's start with Byron Williams. He planned to drive to the Tides Foundation with his rifle, shotgun, and pistol, and go on a killing spree. Luckily, the police pulled him over and arrested him after a firefight, but that's not where his story ended. In prison, he gave interviews, expressing his love for Glenn Beck's program in particular(along with Alex Jones and others), and how it was Glenn's vicious attacks on the Tides Foundation, over many programs, that validated his desire to kill eleven people or more.
Wouldn't all of this be enough? After shootouts, attempted murder sprees, and twisted death threats, couldn't a person just call it quits? Admit that what they were doing wasn't helping, or at least change their course of action so that they were sharing opinion without inciting hatred? At least, after all this, if nothing else a person could issue an apology.
Well not Glenn. Most people would choose the apology, but instead he chooses to continue on his current path, and help inspire Jared Loughner to kill six people and shoot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in the face. It's demonstrable that Loughner was a mentally ill man, but ideas like his do not come from nowhere. Beck is the most outspoken proponents of returning to the gold standard, as was one of Loughner's many unhinged opinions. But furthermore, Beck had launched into an attack of Giffords on his program just months earlier. Of course, we can't blame everything on Beck, but I'd certainly say that we can hold him responsible for being one of the multiple things that pushed him over the edge.
After the shooting, Beck issued a plea to stand together against all violence. Of course, this particular statement was one of the biggest 'epic fails' in recent memory, because a) he uses explicitly violent rhetoric on a weekly basis, and b) the statement was posted right next to a picture of himself… holding a handgun and trying to look like some kind of action star.
Violent rhetoric, you ask? Just months before, Beck (surprise surprise) called democratic leaders 'communists' that 'have called for a revolution', and told his listeners "You're going to have to shoot them in the head". That is an exact quote. As for the handgun, if you hadn't believed in his complete insincerity before then, that should definitely be the clincher.
Glenn, I don't want anybody to kill you in cold blood, as you seem to want for so many people with ideas you dislike. I'm not going to paint a map with targets on your house, I won't even use any violent rhetoric without providing a disclaimer in the same breath. When I don't like somebody, what I hope for is that they get taken out of the spotlight, arrested, and/or hit with a hefty fine. And I'd like all of those for you.

Of course he knows what he's doing. And today he tried to link the union protests here in America with some kind of Shariah Law takeover (Brought about by a million Muslim march on washington on July 4th of this year) along with his usual lynching of 'socialism'. I'm curious, where exactly is glenn beck getting his shit from? Pamela Gellar, the Ayn Rand clone?
The worst part is, I think he knows what he's doing. http://fb.me/wze9Jf7h

The octopus, found at 2,394 meters below sea level (nearly a mile and a half down), of course, isn't the first deep-sea—or the first vent-dwelling—octopus to be discovered. But it shares the same ghostly pallor as others that have been observed at similar depths. Why would these creatures, whose shallow-water cousins are so famous for their flamboyant camouflage, be slinking along as pale as a ghost?

White Label has been chosen by new food festival Meatopia to deliver an integrated communications strategy that includes both traditional consumer PR and social media. We'll also be responsible for securing brand partners as they build awareness of the festival which hopes to capitalise on the trends for high-end street food and experience dining.
Meatopia, the biggest festival of Meat and BBQ in New York, San Francisco and Texas, is this year coming to London for the first time, hosted by a glittering line-up of London's food cognoscenti including Hawksmoor's Richard Turner. This 'Carnivore's Carnival' has been running for 10 years in NYC and will be coming to Tobacco Dock for one day only on September 7th 2013. Described as a 'meat lover's paradise' (New York Magazine), Meatopia is a celebration of BBQing, smoking and grilling. It's a 'rare breed' food event led by chefs that is set to become a serious fixture on the London calendar, with chefs such as St John's Fergus Henderson, Gizzi Erskine and Pitt Cue's Tom Adams creating bespoke recipes for the event's visitors.
White Label has brought on board specialist food publicist Hannah Norris from Nourish PR who will work with them to gain widespread press coverage for the event to drive buzz and ultimately, ticket sales.
In the lead-up to the event, White Label will reach out to aspirational food-loving consumers through a targeted social media campaign including the use of Instagram, Facebook and Twiiter. Bespoke video content will also be created to encourage social sharing and build a distinct identity for the UK's take on the US festival.
Greg Saunders, Creative Director at White Label, added; "We're hugely excited about Meatopia and think that it's just what the UK has been waiting for. As a bunch of self confessed foodies ourselves, we can't wait to see all of these chefs under one roof at such an amazing venue. As the target London audience are digitally switched-on and time poor, social media will play a key part in spreading the word about this truly unique experience".
Following an extensive pitching period against four PR and integrated marketing agencies, White Label has been retained to deliver a fully integrated brand campaign, encompassing everything from brand architecture to cross-channel activation through live, PR, social, digital content and partnerships.
From early beginnings, 25 years ago in a Brighton basement, Easyart has grown to be a leading international producer and retailer of quality art prints and framed pictures, attracting the support of prestigious institutions, including the National Gallery, London, The Guardian, and The Andy Warhol Foundation. The first major piece of work will focus on defining the brand's story in a way which connects with a culturally-savvy audience who are interested in art as part of their wider lifestyle, taking influences from music, film and interior design.
Marc Lickfett, Managing Director at Easyart said; "The team at White Label were fearless in challenging us to look beyond our original brief and address the real work that needed doing. We are confident that with White Label behind us, Easyart will fundamentally transform the way in which people purchase art online."
We are a caring bunch at White Label, so much so that in 2012 we launched our first employee volunteering programme.
We realised that some of the team were very keen to help out in their communities, so to support them in their actions we set up a 'time bank' which allowed employees to take an active and sustainable part in the life of their local community, drawing on the time bank to put the hours into the projects they cared about.
In December, we were asked to help out at Age UK's Christmas party in Hackney. Two of us went along to help set the venue with decorations and get the food ready for the afternoon. Jobs mainly consisted of making sure everyone had enough to eat and more importantly cups of tea! We hope we made a small difference and came away happy at
having ensured the party run smoothly. As Winston Churchill once said 'You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give'.
Here's to more volunteering opportunities in 2013!
…And at precisely 11:30am this coming Monday, so he will.
As part of the celebrations to mark Diet Coke's 30th anniversary, the brand has unveiled a teaser ad on its Facebook page, giving fans a tantalising glimpse of the 'Diet Coke hunk', revived from the iconic TV campaign and ready to set hearts racing once more.
But, 30 years on, do such overt marketing initiatives still hold the same appeal?
Diet Coke, which was launched in the UK in 1983, confirmed last year its plans to target female consumers through activity based on the 'empowerment of women'. Indeed, Zoe Howorth, market activation director for Coca-Cola Great Britain, was reported in Marketing magazine as attesting: 'Women are always at the heart of our Diet Coke plans and we are currently looking at how we continue to celebrate the role of women and our Diet Coke-drinkers in 2013.'
The question remains though, does being portrayed as ogling attractive, semi-naked men sipping cold beverages as they wander through building sites really constitute the 'empowerment' of women?
Well, if we look at the reactions the advert originally provoked in the early 1990s, the answer may well be, yes.
Whilst in 1994 many women claimed that it's purely a male fantasy to believe women leer at men, and many men criticised the blatant exploitation inherent in the ad, the fact remains that Diet Coke did turn sexism on its head. Indeed, at the very moment the female office workers sprinted to their windows to witness the hunk's striptease taking place at the construction site opposite, the previously rigid gender roles of advertising were irrevocably reversed. Arguably, therefore, the advert worked precisely for the reason many objected to it. On a superficial level, at least.
But what of today's female population? Can this ad spot still be said to 'celebrate' the role of women? Or would we see that under the guise of empowerment, women's position in these adverts remains subjugated, ogling as they are in secret, exchanging none of the boisterous comments allowed to construction workers, a glass window replacing the glass ceiling?
Would twenty-first century women argue that, if the Diet Coke ad was truly grounded in reverse sexism, the 'hunk' should be working for a woman-owned company - one in which female employees consistently out-earn their male counterparts to the point that the latter can do little but move sideways having reached a certain level of success, bemoaning the lack of men at the top?
But even so, I certainly know where I'll be at 11:30am on Monday.
As we begin 2013, and the boundary between the on and offline worlds becomes ever more blurred, a question many influencers are now asking is, can so-called "analogue" businesses survive the ongoing digital revolution?
Interestingly, it's now looking like the answer may well be a resounding yes, given the number of organisations seemingly intent on remaining relevant. Through implementing inspiring and innovative strategies, these industries are safeguarding their continued survival in an increasingly digital universe.
Amongst them is Polaroid, who fought back at the Computer Electronics Show this year with the announcement that the company will be branching into the retail industry with Polaroid Fotobars. These experiential stores will allow consumers to print their digital pictures in a range of sizes and on to a vast array of surfaces, which include bamboo, wood and metal.
Alongside this is the news that, in spite of the astronomical developments the music industry has seen since the creation of the LP record, vinyl record sales have been on the rise. Indeed, against all the odds, 2012 registered a 16.3% increase in LP record sales, which critics are attributing to their distinctive sound and increased space for cover art.
And finally, against a landscape shaped by the impact of emails and social networks, the Dutch Postal Service has proved itself to be a strong survivor in creating a pioneering site to promote mail delivery. By analysing Dutch people's tweets and allowing users to interact with them, the tweet which received the most comments was rewarded with a hand written transcript of these comments on postcards delivered directly by a Dutch celebrity.

White Label had the pleasure of meeting Hellicar & Lewis recently as part of our Little White Book - Drop In sessions. Their work uses art, technology and design to create groundbreaking experiences that take people into the moment to impart lasting memories. Combining open-source coding, artistic sensibility, design know-how and a penchant for surprise, creative duo Hellicar & Lewis have spent the last four years producing interactive visual experiences in a wide array of settings, from a multi-projection fashion show in a Savile Row shop to a Twitter-responsive sculpture in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.

Where do you find inspiration?
We find inspiration everywhere. Smells, random thoughts in the rain. The placing of one random thing with another. Juxtaposition and context. Street life. Books, music. The act of turning a thought into an action. It's the mix of all of these things and more that provide the connections where inspiration happens. Ideas are easy. Doing is hard.

This is a question I've noticed has been asked a lot lately. Especially now that Facebook has its own email messaging system.
To discuss this, I think it's important to divide communication into two categories: personal communication and business communication.
For personal communication, thinking of myself, I barely use email these days for anything other than notifications from social media sites, websites I follow or order receipts from Amazon or eBay… much to my mother's dismay. She usually ends up emailing me at work to tell me to check my personal email. I think the younger generation is checking personal email much less frequently and according to Facebook's CEO, Sheryl Sandberg, only 11% of teens (who she claims lead the trends of technology) communicate via email. While I agree texting and communicating via social media is much easier and quicker than email, teens don't exactly need to send documents or formal communications. Which is where email comes in handy.
Business communication remains formal in both email and letter format and I don't see this converting entirely to social media any time soon, just as letter communication in business hasn't entirely converted to email. Internal communication platforms at work, such as Apple iChat and Microsoft Lync, on the other hand, are growing in popularity. Tech company Atos has implemented a zero email policy for its employees and has converted entirely to these alternative communication platforms. The CEO argues that email is no longer appropriate, where only 10% of the average 200 emails an employee receives a day are useful. He says one of the greatest challenges businesses face today is the deluge of information coming via email.
Some also argue it's better to commutate via social media platforms, such as Facebook or LinkedIn, as these are permanent communication addresses, whereas a person's work email will change on average 14 - 21 times during their lifetime. Others say email has and will evolve to integrate with social media.
How do you communicate with friends and family? How do you communicate for business?
If you have ever witnessed a Mexican wave of fawning sent round an office by an email of a kitten in a hat or god forbid a small dog in a Yoda costume, you will fully appreciate the direct and profound effect garnered from an emotional interaction with a subject.
What can we as a experience-led creative agency take from this insight?
Well, two things:
1) When sending an important email around the office, always attach a picture of a cat, dog in costume and/or human falling over if you want a reply.
and more importantly…
2) When planning a campaign, never underestimate the importance of instilling a relevant and real emotional connection between your subject matter and your target audience.
One company that knows this and plays on it is John Lewis, with their Christmas ads quickly becoming established as a Christmas staple. Admittedly they had a hard task to beat last year's ad (where they even convinced Morrisey to get into the festive spirit), and this year Ann Summers rather blunt parody may have garnered a wider viral reach.
Nevertheless, John Lewis are undoubtedly onto something and on a path to set up a festive tradition to rival the illuminated lorry of sugar that is the Coke ad.
If you have a smartphone, laptop or tablet (which is just about everyone but your dog. Or maybe it does?), the likelihood is that you've become a digital multi-tasker. These days, it's becoming impossible to focus your attention on just one thing. TV viewing involves browsing photos on Facebook, reading your news app, watching something else on YouTube or Tweeting about the numpty you're watching who is trying unsuccessfully to make their way through a watery obstacle course. Maybe doing all of the above at once. Aren't we clever little things.
One thing just isn't enough for most of us. Our collective attention spans have decreased to that of an elderly goldfish after a night of heavy boozing. We all love our gadgets and the line between our physical and digital lives has pretty much disappeared. We can go for a run and share how far we managed and in what time straight to our online profiles. We can post a picture of the cat in a scarf we just spotted or 'check-in' to tell our friends where we are (usually just showing off of course).
Our everyday experiences are intertwined with the online version of ourselves thanks to an ever-expanding list of ways to combine the two. So with that in mind, here's a few pieces of activity that have blurred the division between two realms…
1. Red Stag Party Terminal
Obviously we had to start with one of our own. For Red Stag by Jim Beam, we created an immersive pop-up, fusing augmented reality and social media, meaning that consumers could not only dance and be photographed with two virtual girls, but also share their experience on a personalised e-postcard with their friends via Facebook.

2. Marmite Christmas Lights
This Christmas, Marmite invited consumers to submit their 'love it' or 'hate it' expressions for a chance to see their face in lights! The experience ran full circle, starting on Facebook and then inviting users to see themselves up in London's famous Christmas lights, before posting the pictures back to Facebook. Ah, the modern circle of life…

3. Kellog's Special K Tweet Shop
Who needs money to pay for stuff, when you have a Twitter account? Launching the "world's first tweet shop" Special K announced its entry into the crisps market, allowing shoppers to purchase a bag in exchange for a Tweet.

4. Ariel Fashion Shoot
Slightly different one here but it gets an 'outstanding contribution' award for the use of Facebook to make something happen in the real world. Ariel set up a jam-firing robot in Stockholm station which allowed users to aim it at a selection of white 'designer' clothes. Once you'd messed them up, they would be yours to keep. Fully washed and stain-free of course…

5. McKay Flooring Instagram Competition
Finally, this just had to get a mention. Family run business, Mckay flooring, asked their fans to submit pictures of (you guessed it) the best floors they came across for a chance to win £100. The concept was later rolled out across Pinterest for added excitement *PLEASE NOTE HINT OF SARCASM. But we love it. Simple, silly and sheer genius…

White Label have now fully settled into their new offices at No4 Great Newport St and we've come to love our new home. If you haven't visited us yet, there is a lot of history behind the black tile façade.
It's one of the last surviving original houses on the north side of the street dating from 1612. The façade was altered and re-fronted to the present face of black tiling, covering a mid eighteenth-century façade at some point after the war. From the picture you can see the original building with a stuccoed ground floor, doorway centered between two windows and a set of Regency Doric pilasters, as well as and its incarnation in the 1970s (given away by the green flares bottom left!).
The most important internal feature is the open-well staircase with a massive railing of symmetrically turned balusters supporting a broad handrail - something you may have noticed if you have had to climb to the third floor. In fact, it is this part of the building that is Grade II listed.
Another important historic fact is its link with Joshua Reynolds, who used the first floor with its large windows as a studio, and the ground floor as a gallery space. It's fascinating to see the building maintaining its creative link with the past. The fact that White Label has two members of staff called Reynolds is purely coincidental!
Ever woken up in a cold sweat worried you're losing sight of the current trends storming the art landscape? Well fear not, here's a round up.
New Media Gold Rush
Social media has allowed art to become more wide reaching and relevant to a diverse audience. As such, art will become even more popular over the next few years, reaching into different avenues of society. Social media is spawning mass collaborations and crowd sourced art projects, and Spencer Tunick's nudes are a perfect example of this, with subjects mainly recruited online. Likewise, these days thousands of people can support largely unknown artists via social media, launching them to stardom without even having held a traditional 'exhibition'. Street artists have a particular strong hold over this opportunity.
Artists Become Big Brands
Co-branding of art is becoming big business and rising in popularity due to its media worthiness, with the recent tie-ups between Absolut and the Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett, and Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama proving the PR legs such campaigns can possess. Likewise, governments are recognising the enormous economic potential of art for their cities and are supporting more large cultural events. Don't even get me started on urban art and the fun councils can have with that. Check out our Pinterest for more on this.
New Fusions
Gallery spaces will develop to become a fusion of music, film and entertainment - a multi-purpose environment. More interaction between art and the viewer will develop within galleries through the use of inventive tech. The rise of the virtual art tour is inevitable with billions of people armed with cameras on mobile devices capturing their own personal art experiences. The ubiquitous popularity of photography and video art is already clear. The Instagram mob will only grow bigger!
Counter Trend
Counter trends are always fascinating. A turn away from new media obsessions, could mark a growing interest in traditional media of paint and pencil and more figurative styles. Watch this space.
And that, in a nutshell, is that.
Sleep easy.
As well as being an idea factory and creating affinity for brands, we at White Label know how important it is to give back to the community and to help those that may be less fortunate than ourselves. To encourage our staff to be active and spend time with local charities, we have implemented a scheme where staff may take time off work to volunteer and help others.
As such, we keep an eye out for opportunities to get involved. One such project that we have recently come across and are big fans of is the Band4Hope initiative. They are a non-for-profit social enterprise that encourages acts of charity and kindness through the wearing and giving of a trackable copper and zinc bracelet. You wear the bracelet as a reminder to do good and then to pass it on to inspire others to do the same. Each bracelet has a unique ID number, which can be entered online to see who's had it before you, where in the world it's travelled to, how many donations it's raised and for which charities. The bracelets are ethically made in Zimbabwe and can be shipped anywhere in the world. The proceeds support the growth of the Band4Hope project with 10% going directly to the charity of your choice.
Check it out and get your kindness on! http://band4hope.com/
Hello, Greg here. I went to a trends seminar a few weeks and wanted to tell you all about it. The session was run by trendwatching.com and took the form of a 3 part seminar/lecture where their head of global research Henry Mason took us through a two part, fast paced array of global stories and happenings all roughly corralled into trend groups with made up names such as 'statusphere' and 'newism'.
In any case, I tend to feedback on post seminar analysis much better when interviewed, so leapt at the opportunity of being interviewed by Hoxton's hottest online trendzine bi-weekly 'East Trenders'. Enjoy!…
Disclaimer: East Trenders may or not actually be a figment of my gargantuan imagination.

Rain or Shine, Staples Make Sales
Eric is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A shopper may give up some luxuries during a recession, but a consumer staple like baking soda is much harder for her to leave on the shelf. Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD), Clorox (NYSE: CLX), and Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) sell products that their customers need to buy, which insulates them from the fads and trends that cause wide swings in other retailers' sales.
Church & Dwight makes Arm & Hammer baking soda, and this staples seller showed steady revenue growth and strong margins over the last few years even while other consumer oriented firms had to offer big discounts to keep their customers. Church & Dwight significantly improved its gross margin during the last few years, which increased from 39.1 percent in 2007 to 44.7 percent in 2011.
The Arm & Hammer brand doesn't just include the company's familiar boxes of baking soda. Church & Dwight also sells Arm & Hammer brand cat litter, toothpaste, and laundry detergent, as shoppers know that Arm & Hammer makes bad smells go away. Although a bargain hunter could buy lower end cleaning products to save money, quality is very important with these types of products because cheap cleaning products could leave a shopper's house dirty and smelly. The Arm & Hammer brand also provides opportunities for Church & Dwight to add more product lines, as the company may find ways to use its baking soda in other household products.
Church & Dwight also sells an array of personal products such as condoms and home pregnancy tests, and the company owns the well known Trojan condom brand. These personal care product lines provide further protection against worsening economic conditions for the company, as consumers typically have fewer children during recessions. High product quality is very important for these personal care products, as a product failure could lead to an unexpected pregnancy.
Clorox built its brand on bleach, and many of the factors that gave Church & Dwight strength during the recession also apply to Clorox. The Clorox brand is well known, just like Arm & Hammer. Clorox can also use its main brand to branch out into other product lines. Arm & Hammer figured out that small amounts of baking soda can provide noticeable performance gains for many household products, and the same theory applies with bleach and other cleaning products. Like Church & Dwight, Clorox sells a wide array of household products such as laundry detergent, household cleaners, and cat litter. Clorox also uses its association with clean households to market trash bags under the Glad brand.
While Clorox's revenue improved from $5.16 billion in 2009 to $5.23 billion in 2011, Church & Dwight's revenue rose from $2.52 billion to $2.75 billion during the period. Church & Dwight might have had more room to grow than Clorox, because Clorox is a larger company, although both companies are much smaller than their competitor Colgate-Palmolive.
Church & Dwight's income improved from $392 million in 2009 to $495 million in 2011, while Clorox's income increased from $537 million to $557 million. Clorox actually earned $603 million in 2010, although the company's net income figure includes several significant items. Clorox wrote off $258 million in goodwill and earned $247 million from selling its auto business in 2011, so a direct comparison to its 2010 results could be misleading.
Colgate-Palmolive's product line also includes many basic necessities. The company's two main brands, Colgate toothpaste and Palmolive soap, satisfy needs that are mandatory in modern society. A consumer with a limited budget will still purchase toothpaste and soap. Again, although there are cheaper toothpaste and soap products on the market, a low end product may not meet a consumer's personal grooming standards.
Colgate reported significant sales growth in foreign markets, even though its United States sales figures did not change much. Between 2009 and 2011, Colgate's Latin American sales grew from $4.32 billion to $4.78 billion, while its European sales increased from $3.27 billion to $3.51 billion. All three staples companies sell products throughout the world.
Colgate-Palmolive, Clorox, and Dwight & Church each offer a wide array of well known brands, retained their customers during a weak economy, and can benefit from growing demand in international markets. I think all three of these consumer staple companies are buys.

Censorship Abounds: The Handful of Companies That Control Your Perceptions
Christina Sarich, Staff Writer
Waking Times
Almost all the media channels you watch are controlling your perception of reality – namely to get you to value their commodities (goods and services) instead of yourself and your own morals and values. This affects you at every level, from the food you eat, the friends you are more likely to make, the goods your purchase, and even the careers you choose or education you decide to get. It also affects your self worth as you believe you are only as good as the things you can buy or the 'hot' woman you can take out, since sex and money are the primary ways media motivates you. The world has become censored in ways you wouldn't even imagine in both covert and overt ways. Let's look at the six major corporations who control every single media station that you probably peruse on a daily basis:
- Comcast – formerly owned by GE, controls MSNBC, NBC and Telemundo
- Disney – controls ESPN, the History Channel, A & E and Lifetime
- Viacom – the parent company of Paramount, BET and MTV
- CBS – and its dozens of affiliates
- Newscorp – controls Fox News, New York Post, Wall Street Journal
- Time Warner – controls CNN, Time, People Magazine and Warner Brothers
Recent egregious, top-down censorship incidents include the following:
- Monsanto threatened Fox investigative reporters, who wanted to out bovine flu, and stated, "We'll tell you what the news is."
- ABC was going to air a story on 20/20 about how Disney Land was going to hire pedophiles. The story wasn't aired because ABC is owned by Disney.
- CNN's coverage of the deep water horizon oil spill was laughable when just after the coverage aired, there was a commercial for BP Oil, touting the benefits of enjoying wildlife in the Gulf.
These are just a few examples of a rampant and detestable control of your brainwaves, via the air waves. Only 118 people sit on more than 200 media boards that drive most of what you see, hear or look at. So a very small number of people is controlling the media with complete disregard for people and their health and well being.
There are alternative news media outlets that have popped up all over the internet to try to give real facts and not corporate agendas to the people. They include Waking Times, for example, as well as InfoWars, Natural News, Natural Society, DavidIcke's site, GreenMeInfo, Prevent Disease, Activist Post, and many more.
Some of these sites are heavy on the 'conspiracy' theory angle. Others try to offer unbiased news as much as possible, since we all alter 'information' based on our own opinions. In the very least, these alternative news sources are not controlled by an elite population of merely 118 people who are essentially running the world through managing our perceptions of it. There is a grand diversity of ideas and interpretations of world events.
If you know of other great alternative news sources that really provide good information and not merely a good brainwashing dosed with a heaping spoonful of propaganda, please list them below.

Thank you very much. As I come from a family that gets nearly all of its news/information from The Today Show and CNN, I'm always looking for more alternative news sources in order to get as much information as possible. They think that I'm crazy, though.
Staria, you aren't crazy at all!
There is nothing to practice.
To know yourself, be yourself.
To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that.
Just be. Let your true nature emerge.
Don't disturb your mind with seeking.
That's it in a nutshell. Be there!
Not ONE of the 'alternative' news sites you mention is willing to publish the Truth about: 1)the Dead Sea Scrolls (that Jesus was the author of the Thanksgiving Hymns); 2) the Nag Hammadi Codices (that the Gospel of Truth and the Treatise On Resurrection convey the Teaching of Jesus); or, 3) that the Doctrine of "resurrection" was taught by Isaiah, Daniel, Jesus and Mohammed as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'.
And why not?
In order to preserve the economic interests of *another* corporation: Judaeo-Christianity-Islamism, INC.
michael. if you are convinced you have the truth, then YOU make a website and publish YOUR truth. quit waiting around for someone else to do something you are unwilling to do, secondly not everything is a conspiracy, and lastly, ive been around ALOT, and have seen ALOT, and I for one, have never heard what you are talking about, and if I havent heard of these things, I doubt the afore mentioned websites have heard of them either, so quit crying that people arent publishing YOUR truth. make a damn website and shut up. then you can complain that no one reads your truth.
zen shaman: try clicking on his name, and you will see he already has done that…
Everything IS a conspiracy.
Michael, you need to do a lot more research. Especially about the Nag Hammadi codices.
Start here:
And here:
You've got a lot to relearn.
All major media companies are owned and controlled by Zionist Jews.
Today, seven Jewish Americans run the vast majority of US television networks, the printed press, the Hollywood movie industry, the book publishing industry, and the recording industry. Most of these industries are bundled into huge media conglomerates run by the following seven individuals:
Gerald Levin, CEO and Director of AOL Time Warner
Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company
Edgar Bronfman, Sr., Chairman of Seagram Company Ltd
Edgar Bronfman, Jr, President and CEO of Seagram Company Ltd and head of Universal Studios
Sumner Redstone, Chairman and CEO of Viacom, Inc
Dennis Dammerman, Vice Chairman of General Electric
Peter Chernin, President and Co-COO of News Corporation Limited
Those seven Jewish men collectively control ABC, NBC, CBS, the Turner Broadcasting System, CNN, MTV, Universal Studios, MCA Records, Geffen Records, DGC Records, GRP Records, Rising Tide Records, Curb/Universal Records, and Interscope Records.
Most of the larger independent newspapers are owned by Jewish interests as well
Check out http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/ for straight talk from a former Reagan insider. Also, Greg Hunter's USA Watchdog http://usawatchdog.com/ is always good for information or http://cryptome.org/ which has a long history of leaks.
Aggregation sites like http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ are helpful as well.
I don't have a tv or subscribe to any of that garbage. Problem solved!
Morgan, good for you. I don't watch tv either. It rots your brain.
it doesn't rot your brain, i am a doctor.
I see my comment about Zionist control of the media has been removed. How ironic, considering this article is about control of perception. Way to go guys!
Now my comments have been reposted. What's going on here?
Thank you David ! without your timely comment I would have missed that very interesting information :]
The one thing that i remember the most clearly over the past 40 years of my school days at Brandeis University in 1970′s are my student adviser's words that when he was growing up that his grand parents and parents used the term "'goyishe kup,'" meaning that the "Non-Jews are Stupid"
Later in life I learned that the exact translation of "GOYISHE KUP" means that the "Cattle are STUPID"..
I remember him recalling whatt his father told him when he was growing up in Eastern Europe. One of them being that when his father was in high school he and a group of friends would skip school early on Fridays and go over to his friend's father's butcher shop. That they would buy at cost any cows , that had not been butchered by the end of the day on Friday before the start of shabat . They would take the cow home and wash it and then the boys would procede to "beat the udders of the cows so that they would swell up and turn pink" so as to sell them to the "GOYISHE KUP" as milk producing cows.
The part that I remember him asking me if the East Europeans are so naive, so gullible and so stupid to buy old "non milk producing cows" from a bunch of young Jewish Boys.
So thinking of it now I agree with the Jewish saying that the "GOYISHE KUP" are indeed" Stupid" as they believe that a Bunch of Arab Moslem Kids who were not able to Fly a Cessna Airplane took it upon themselves to FLY a Jumbo 747 and outwitted the US Militaryand Civilian authorities. The "Jewish Lightning Insurance Scam" of the 1960′s is still alive and well has been put to good use by Larry Silverstein in putting 15 million down and comming out with 7 billion dollars for buidings that no one wanted to buy because it would have cost a billion dollars to remove the asbestos from. Then on top of that the people in America actually believe that they actually decide who is elected President or for that that actual VOTE is really counted and makes a difference in deciding who represents them in the White House and congress.
bollyn.com , rense.com
Yeh I agree that the AmericanNon-Jews are indeed American "GOYISHE KUP" or "STUPID CATTLE"!
War Is Crime — an excellent and explicitly non-commercial daily digest of the best alternative analysis articles.
Ern (above) is absolutely right, and that's not to be interpreted as anti-Semitism, or hatred. It's a statement of fact, and it's an important one because we're not talking about race, religion, or ethnicity here, but rather a political movement, and the fact that almost ALL sources of information Americans have been exposed to throughout their lives has been delivered by Zionists.
Your school curriculum, and your knowledge of "history", as well as your twisted perception of current events are all supplied by one political group, with one political agenda, which incidentally, includes the destruction of this country.
People better wake up and discover the motives and means of these Zionists who now control America before it's too late, if it's not already too late.
All I have to say is "prepare for war". No one's interested in your opinions of war. War is coming your way whether you like it or not.
I would recommend Russia Today (RT) they have a great youtube channel, usefully they have the Keiser Report three times a week – which although a bit whacky for the first part – does get some good guests for the second half of the show…
The advantage of the russian programming is its anther competing agenda thrown into help overcome the mainstream and if you watch the news bulletins from PressTV you combine these to get a reasonable overview of events to overcome the bias from western, russian and eastern propaganda machines…
Type storm clouds gathering in youtube if you haven't already, the guy knows his stuff. I also recommend groundedbeing channel in youtube for videos based on creating positive change within yourself. For a British journalist that I have found recently on youtube type swilliamism, he's definitely one of my favourites. And of course the Corbett report on youtube which you all probably already know about.
I got rid of my television service many years ago. I could not tell you what is HOT or NOT on TV anymore. I do not have to have some babbling paid nimcompoop blathering on in the background for "white noise" from places of news. You should just get rid of your television service and see how your life changes dramatically.
For the most logical and honest of people and uncensored news, I reccomend:
There are few who have the courage to delve into the serious issues of morgellons and satanic ritual abuse–some of the most censored issues. This guys got balls.
Surprised not to see Alternet. (http://www.alternet.org)
