Through studying this specialised pathway you will gain a practice-based education in law with a critical appreciation of crime with our LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology programme.
The aim of this pathway is to allow you to study the foundations of law while exploring the social aspects of crime, punishment and victimisation, making this course highly relevant if you are aiming for a career in the legal profession or more generally within the criminal justice system.
The specialised Criminology modules will enable you to explore a diverse set of criminological issues, from youth crime to intelligence and security. You'll engage in philosophical and ethical debates surrounding war and conflict, developing a criminological understanding of homicide and victimisation.

Following on from Apple's recent World Wide Developer Conference, the big implication for web designers is that Safari on iOS 8 will now at long last support WebGL.
This makes WebGL the largest graphics platform on the planet, with all modern mobile and desktop browsers supporting this. Of course, there will always be older browsers, but we can create fallbacks for these.
In this tutorial we are going to create a scene in 3D for three.js, a popular WebGL library. The difficult part about creating a scene in code is that you have to keep checking the position in a browser and then adjusting your code. The three.js editor (threejs.org/editor) lets us assemble models and lights visually and load them in with one swoop, making less code for your scene. The final project has to be served to the browser via a web server in order to work. Let's get started.
Get started
Take the Start Folder from the CD and copy this onto your hard drive. Make sure you locate the Assets folder as we will need that. Head over to threejs.org/editor in your browser – Chrome seems to work best with this – and go to Add and choose a Hemisphere Light. Position this a 0, 200, -100.
Set the scene
Just above the light in the Scene panel you will see a little purple square. Click on this and name it 'World' in the panel below. Click back on the light in the Scene panel. Click on the blue colour for the light and make this a lighter blue, then click on the orange and make this darker, almost brown.
Adding the world
Now go to Add and choose Object 3D. This is an empty object, a little like a group. Rename this 'planet' in the panel on the right. Now go to Add again and choose 'Sphere'. Rename this 'ground' and from the parent drop menu choose 'planet'. Click the scale checkbox and scale it up to 3.0 on all axis.
Going green
Scroll down in the panel on the right while still having the 'ground' selected. When you get to 'material', change the colour to green by clicking on the colour and using the System Colour panel to change. Now we need to import our first model; go to File>Import and choose 'mountain.dae' from the Assets folder.
Move any mountain
You won't see the mountain import because the planet is in the way. Rename it 'mountain' and scale up to 0.2, 0.4, 0.2. Make the 'planet' its parent. Grab the green handle to drag it up and place it on top of the planet. Now position it back a little and over to the left. Rotate by clicking and dragging anywhere in the grey space.
Import the aeroplane
From the File menu, import the 'aero.dae' model and change its name to 'aero'. Scale this up to 1.6, 1.6, 1.6 and change the middle rotation (Y) to 1.56. Position it at 0, 225, 46. What's important after positioning this is that your mountain is behind the aeroplane. If it's not, be sure to adjust it. When you reselect the mountain always select from the Scene panel, not the 3D view.
More mountains
With the mountain selected in the Scene panel, go to the Edit menu and choose Clone. Make this new mountain a child of the planet and move this to a new position and rotation. Do this again so that you have three mountains behind the aeroplane as in the screenshot.
Add a tree
From the file menu, import 'tree.dae' and rename it 'tree'. Make it a child of the planet and scale it to 1.0, 1.0, 1.0. Position it at -30, 195, 113. Just like the mountains, we are going to clone this model and create a small forest in front of the aeroplane. Remember when selecting a model, do so from the Scene panel, not the 3D view.
Forestry commission
Don't forget when cloning your trees to make each one a child of the 'planet' and use the rotation in the right-hand panel. These numbers can be clicked and dragged to move the rotation, without inputting numbers by keyboard. When you are done, you should have a forest similar to the screenshot.
Cabin in the woods
Select the planet in the Scene panel and rotate it 0, 0, 1.56, which is on the z axis. The whole planet will turn 45º. Import 'cabin.dae' and rename it 'cabin'. This should be made a child of the planet. Position this at 210, 32, -27, with a rotation of 0.4, 0.14, -1.56 and scale it to 0.4 on all three sides. Your cabin should be positioned as shown
The woods
In the Scene panel, select one of the trees, go to the Edit menu and choose Clone. Make this new tree a child of planet and position at 221, -42, -39, then place the rotation at 0.3, 0.03 and -1.74. Copy this again twice more, making them children of the planet, and position to the right of this.
Building regulations
Select the planet in the Scene panel and change the rotation to 0, 0, 3.14. Now import the file 'building.dae' and rename this 'building' when it loads. Set the Parent of this to the 'planet' in the panel on the right. Position this at -1, -225, -23 with a scale of 0.3 on all
three axes.
Planning permission
With the building still selected, go to Edit and choose Clone. Make this a child of the planet and position and scale this to one side of the first building. Repeat the process again so there are three buildings. Remember you can click on the grey area in the scene and drag to change your viewpoint – this doesn't deselect the current object.
Sand dune
Select the planet in the Scene panel and set the rotation to 0, 0, -1.56. Now import the model 'sand.dae' and rename this to 'sand'. Set the 'planet' as the parent and set the position to -228, -52, -30. Set the rotation at 0.2, -0.06, 1.8, then the scale to 1, 1.2, 1. It should look like the screenshot above.
More dunes
Use Edit and Clone to copy the sand model and make it a child of the planet. Position to the left of the plane and repeat this twice more, placing the last two dunes in front of the plane. This will take a few minutes to position and rotate just right. Again don't forget to make the parent of each sand dune the 'planet'.
Beside the seaside
Go to the Add menu and choose 'sphere'. Name this 'sea' and make its parent the 'planet'. Position it at -151, 1.6, -14 and set the scale to 1, 1.4 and 1.4. This should be between the dunes now. Scroll down the side panel and change the colour to a light blue and the ambient colour to a slate grey.
Little fluffy clouds
Now import the model 'cloud.dae' and rename it 'cloud', making the planet its parent. Position at 219, 136, -28 and the rotation set to 0, 0, -1.1. Change the scale to 0.5 on all three axes. In the scene click on 'Mat' which is a child of the cloud. Now scroll down to the material and make the colours the same as the screenshot.
Opacity change
Further down in the material, change the opacity to 0.32 as it's a little too transparent. Clone this three times and, as before, make each a child of the planet. Position them in between each of the main elements on the planet, but floating in
the sky!
Under the spotlight
Your planet should have all the clouds in place now, like in the last screenshot. Select the planet in the Scene panel and change the rotation to 0, 0, 0. Now go to the Add menu and choose a spotlight; rename this 'spot'. Position this at 138, 387, 80, changing the colour to a light cyan and the angle to 0.75.
Spotlight target
Underneath the spotlight in the Scene panel you will see there is something called a Spotlight Target. Click on this and change the position to 15, 160, 0. Now go to File>Export Scene; a new tab will open in the browser containing a lot of numbers. Select all the code and copy it.
Final step
Go to your code editor, create a new file and paste the code in from the previous step. Save this as 'scene.js' in the JS folder from the starting files in Step 1. Now run index.html in a browser using a web server to see your file loaded and your plane flying around the world!

Remembering the Holocaust
International Holocaust Remembrance Day was observed on January 27; the day in 1945 when the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp was liberated by Soviet forces. Countries throughout Europe respectfully remembered the Holocaust and expressed their determination to ensure that a similar tragedy did not happen again.
European Parliament President Martin Schulz , addressing an event organized by the European Jewish Congress, spoke of his "specific responsibility" as a German to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. He was referring to the meeting of Nazi officials in 1942 to decide on the "Final Solution." Although the present German nation was not guilty of the Holocaust, he said they had an 'important duty to take into account our responsibility for the Jews in the world.'
All over the world, ceremonies have been held to mark this day, British Prime Minister David Cameron, signed a Book of Commitment, pledging his commitment to remembering the Holocaust.
The French Government issued a statement that "France is determined to fulfil the duty to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and to pass this knowledge on to new generations in France and throughout the world,"
However, anti-Semitism is not in any way dead. The German magazine Stern recently published a report showing that one in five young Germans has no idea that Auschwitz was a Nazi death camp.
And a German Parliament study found high levels of anti-Semitism in mainstream German culture, with one in five Germans latently hostile to Jews. It concluded that anti-Semitism could be found "right at the heart of society." and warned against taking comfort from the fact that it was even more widespread in some other countries such as Poland, Portugal, Sweden and Hungary
The Jews - God's Witnesses
The Jews are an amazing people, scattered throughout the world after being banished from their home land they have kept their identity- you will never be able to recognise a Babylonian or even a Roman- their days are long past - but the Jewish race still survives against all odds.
No other nation has been treated with such harshness and abuse and yet retained a distinctive national identity and the Bible tells us why. God told Israel, as they were about to enter the land He had promised them, that if they failed to serve Him they would be punished. They would be expelled from the land and scattered among the nations (Deut 28:65) " among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind". This happened finally in AD70 when the Romans took Jerusalem and banished them. However, God intended that the Jews should not lose their identity. Jeremiah 31:35-36
"Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun... moon... and stars... If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever."
The wonderful thing about the Jew is that God raised them for a special purpose – to demonstrate that He exists and keeps His promises. They are His witnesses Isaiah Ch. 43:10 'Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he'
The continued existence of the Jew, despite such sustained persecution and racial hatred throughout the centuries is living proof that God exists. Even the anti-Semitism which continues through all civilised nations was prophesied.
De 28:37 'And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee'.
The regathering of the Jews foretold
Isaiah tells us clearly that God has a special purpose with the Jews– They are His witnesses. And though scattered among the nations, the Bible promises they will be regathered into the land God had promised them. The Lord Jesus' prophecy, puts a limit on their wanderings Luke 21:24 ' And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.' As does Jeremiah
'Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock'. Jeremiah 31:10
This shows how God is in control of world affairs. God said that if they failed to obey Him, the Jews would be scattered. It occurred. God said that he would regather them. This occurred too but only after the terrible judgments prophesied had been poured out in the Holocaust of World War 2, which resulted in the world leaders being compelled to provide a homeland for the Jewish people so that in 1948 the nation of Israel was born.
We see then how that the Jews are witnesses that the author of the Bible, God Himself, exists and is at work – The Most High, ruling in the kingdom of men (Daniel 4:17).
His work with Israel, though, has not yet finished. Anti-Semitism won't stop until our Lord returns. The Bible states that once the Jew was back in the land there would be more trouble; and this would cause the Lord Jesus Christ to return from heaven to re-establish the Kingdom of Israel as it existed in days of old. We read of that time in many prophecies including Isaiah: 45:17
' But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end'.
The end of Anti-Semitism
It is evident that, despite the well meaning efforts of politicians, the world has not learned from the Holocaust. Bible prophecy states that at the end Israel will be surrounded by a great Northern army and in their distress they will turn to The Lord. When they finally see their need and cry unto Him, He will save them.
Joel 2:11
And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Zechariah states that God will bring powerful nations against Israel and then Jesus will return:
Zechariah 12:9-10
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him...
The one who the Jews have pierced is the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom at his birth, the angel said in Luke 1:32-33 that "the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."
When, the Jews realise that Jesus was indeed their Messiah and repent; then the Lord Jesus will return to rule the world. Then will be fulfilled the blessings promised in Deuteronomy 28:13
'And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:'
A repentant and cleansed Israel will then no longer suffer the hatred of the nations but will have their admiration.
Until that joyful time, which must be soon, they are to remain, God's witnesses.

Bears LBs show little concern for Delhomme
In a great story from the Chicago Tribune's Vaughn McClure, Bears linebackers Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher showed little compassion for Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme.
On a play that has been called the turning point of the Bears-Panthers game on Sunday by several analysts — not by me, though — Delhomme slid feet first on a third down play in the third quarter and was simultaneously drilled by Briggs. Delhomme and his Panthers teammates were understandably upset because no one likes to see their quarterback take a licking.
But the play was bang-bang and there was no flag thrown. Panthers players — former Bear Muhsin Muhammad among them — felt that Briggs should be fined.
Said Briggs: "I'm not a dirty player and never have been. They pay me to be mean on Sunday. It's football. You can't spend the rest of the game or after the game crying about hits. Not taking anything from Jake Delhomme; he's a great quarterback. But this is football. You're going to get hit."
Added Urlacher: "I told [Delhomme] to get off the field [after the quarterback bounced to his feet and pounded his chest]. It would have been different had they gotten the first down. Then I would have been ticked. But it was fourth down so, 'Go to the sideline. Your field-goal team is coming in.'"
Briggs also said he would appeal if he was hit with a fine.
Good for him. The play was legal, which was why a flag wasn't thrown. And good for Urlacher, too, not putting up with the childish antics of a crybaby.
I felt before Sunday's game — and still maintain afterward — that Delhomme is the biggest whiner — and wiener — in the NFL. Delhomme got in the face of officials and argued nearly every penalty called on the team, and I believe there were 10 of them.
And on a side note, I'll still never forget the D-Generation X crotch chop Delhomme gave Chicago fans in the Bears-Panthers playoff game of 2005. What a tool.
(For those of you not familiar with D-Generation X, it was a WWF wrestling group several years ago who gave "crotch chops", which were obscene gestures in which the participants would make "chopping" motions with their arms toward their crotches).
Delhomme will get what's coming to him. It's a long season, but the Bears still could make the playoffs and face the Panthers again, and you know what they say about payback.

Nikita Mikhalkov: At Home among Strangers, a Stranger at Home - Свой среди чужих чужой среди своих (1974)
Director: Nikita Mikhalkov
Writers: Nikita Mikhalkov, Eduard Volodarskiy
Stars: Yuri Bogatyryov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Sergey Shakurov
The story takes place in early 1920s, shortly after the end of the Russian Civil War. Five Red Army soldiers are sent to protect a precious shipment of gold that is sent by train. One of the friends is kidnapped and drugged, while the train is attacked and the gold is stolen. Suspected of treason, he becomes "a Stranger at Home".
A debut of the world-famous director Nikita Mikhalkov, this film is an excellent model of a "western", having a very ingenious plot, and, most importantly, being a hymn to men's true friendship.

Spurs' big offensive night takes down Nuggets
DENVER (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs may be the hottest team that nobody's talking about.
Between the Miami Heat winning eight in a row and Jeremy Lin guiding the resurgent New York Knicks, the Spurs have slipped under the radar.
And that's just fine with them. They'll just silently go about their business of winning, where it seems like a new player steps up each night.
DeJuan Blair was in the starring role Thursday as he tied a career high with 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, helping the Spurs beat the injury-riddled Denver Nuggets 114-99 to wrap up a nine-game road swing.
The Spurs have won 12 of their last 13 heading into the All-Star break and lead the Southwest Division by three games over the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.
So, where's the national love for the Spurs?
"It's been the same way for 15 years," coach Gregg Popovich said. "I don't even think about it."
Nor does anyone else on his team.
"We let the hyped people get the hype," Blair said.
This is a team that's racing to the beat of Tony Parker. His ability to draw defenders certainly opened things up for his teammates as Tim Duncan added 18 points and Richard Jefferson hit 5 of 7 3-point attempts and scored 17.
Parker had his sixth double-double this season, winding up 16 points and 12 assists.
"The best I've ever seen Tony Parker orchestrate a game," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "He was really great with his decisions and his passing."
The Spurs finished their rodeo road swing with an 8-1 mark. In all, the team spent 17 days away from home and logged 7,941 miles. The nine straight games away tied a franchise record.
Corey Brewer scored 23 points for the banged-up and beleaguered Nuggets, who have lost 12 of their last 16 to drop out of the playoff picture. The loudest cheer of the night came when rookie Kenneth Faried slammed home a pass from Andre Miller midway through the third quarter. That cut the Spurs' lead to 24 points.
It was simply that kind of night for Denver.
Duncan and Parker were back in the lineup after Popovich elected to rest them in a lopsided 137-97 loss in Portland on Tuesday.
While most of the Spurs receive a break, Parker will head to the All-Star game as a reserve. He will be making his fourth appearance, joining George Gervin, David Robinson and Duncan as the only San Antonio players to be picked at least that many times.
Parker is in the midst of another strong season, averaging nearly 20 points and eight assists.
Before the game, Karl was asked what his team's focus would be against the Spurs.
"Parker," he said, with little hesitation.
But the problem Thursday was perimeter defense as the Spurs hit 13 3-pointers and shot 48 percent from the field.
"A rough night," Brewer said.
San Antonio led by as many as 28 points in the second half and looked to be headed toward a rout. Duncan even took a seat on the bench, figuring his night was finished.
When the Nuggets pulled within 12 points with 6:42 remaining, Popovich quickly summoned Duncan back into the game.
From there, the Spurs pulled away again. Blair hit four straight free throws to silence the threat.
Blair was a dominant presence down low, hitting 12 of 21 shots.
"He finds a way to score," Duncan said. "He's like a magnet to that ball — he goes and gets it. It's just about getting his opportunities and he got a lot of opportunities tonight and he'll finish them. He'll put them in."
The Nuggets showed their fatigue early on, falling behind 26-7 midway through the opening quarter. The team arrived back in town late Tuesday night after a 103-95 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
This has been an injury-filled season for the Nuggets. They were without speedy point guard Ty Lawson (left ankle), big man Nene (calf strain) and leading scorer Danilo Gallinari (left ankle).
Although they were supposed to have Rudy Fernandez back on the court, he ended up missing his fourth straight game with a strained lower back.
The All-Star break couldn't come at a better time for the Nuggets.
"We need a couple of days," Brewer said. "We're let down because we're a little beat up. But mentally, we're good. As a team, we're going to be just fine. We know we have a lot of guys out and we're getting guys back. We're going to be ready to make our second-half run."
Same with the Spurs, and they really don't care if anyone's paying attention.
"That's a question from every year. I really don't care where the radar is," Duncan said. "I don't watch radar. We just play games and we'll figure out where we are at the end of the year."
NOTES: The Nuggets wore retro uniforms, leading Karl to suggest that maybe the league should look into using striped basketballs in team colors. "It would be fun," he said. "But I think that's too out there." … Miller finished with 20 points, while G/F Jordan Hamilton had an interesting stat line — no points and nine boards. … Spurs F Kawhi Leonard (calf) didn't play in the second half. … The Spurs were missing Manu Ginobili, who's out with a strained left oblique. The team is 17-8 this season in Ginobili's absence.

Airline Forum 2017: Lufthansa Systems takes airline customers into the digital world
"Spice IT up! – Digitalization and beyond" is the motto of the Lufthansa Systems Airline Forum, which started this week.
A total of 450 participants from around 80 airlines worldwide will learn about the latest developments in the portfolio of the airline IT specialist. The focus is on Commercial Planning and Operations solutions from the NetLine and ProfitLine product lines. "This industry meeting, which is traditionally held in the Lufthansa Training & Conference Center in Seeheim, is one of the most important events in the airline IT sector," said Ulrike Behrens, Head of Marketing at Lufthansa Systems, who organises the Airline Forum. Lufthansa Systems advises and supports airlines in their digital transformation. The aviation IT experts show what sustainable airline processes can look like and provide hands-on support to customers in implementing their projects.
"Digitalisation has a significant influence on working processes, business models and our daily life. This applies to the aviation industry as well. The core of our company strategy is to put airlines in a perfect position for the digital future," said Olivier Krueger, CEO of Lufthansa Systems. "We are delighted to welcome so many of our customers' representatives to the Airline Forum again this year.
Customers will have the opportunity to speak and report on successful projects. The next two and a half days will be devoted to some 80 lectures and workshops as well as personal conversations with product experts and other airlines. Attendees can put together their own individual program from a comprehensive range of topics. The focus will be on new product developments and innovations in the NetLine and ProfitLine product lines, which will be introduced by experts from Lufthansa Systems and its industry partners.
Automation and integration are key aspects in this context. Modern technologies make it easier to collect and evaluate data in order to identify anomalies and automatically learn from them or carry out certain actions. But it is also increasingly important for IT solutions – especially in the field of operations – to be able to share this data and interact with one another in order to make the best decisions and optimize processes. Communication also plays an essential role in the digital world. It should be fast, simple and possible from anywhere. Mobile solutions and a user-friendly layout help meet these demands.
"At the Airline Forum, we present new industry trends and product portfolio developments to our customers. We also want to talk with them about market challenges, new technologies and smart solutions for their specific requirements," said Stefan Auerbach, CEO of Lufthansa Systems.

Welcome to my home page!
To the top left, you will find information about my work, such as a list of publications, and a page where you can download a few of them.
Below that, still to the left, is a set of links to sites that are somewhat more dynamic - for example my blog.
If you go to my photo's on Flickr you will find an unedited photo diary. I tag the photos though, so if you are looking for pictures from a certain conference you will find them. For example, searching for "GDC2011" will return all my pictures from the Game Developers Conference of 2011, while searching for "GDC2011" and "social" (choosing the tags-only option) will only give people-pictures (most pictures I tend to take are of power-point slides).

|Summary, etc.:
"This is not a test"-every New Yorker's worst nightmare is about to become a reality. New Yorkers aren't easily intimidated, but someone is doing their best to scare them, badly: why? After two inexplicable high-tech attacks, the city that never sleeps is on edge. Detective Michael Bennett, along with his old pal, the FBI's Emily Parker, have to catch the shadowy criminals who claim responsibility-but they're as good at concealing their identities as they are at wreaking havoc. In the wake of a shocking assassination, Bennett begins to suspect that these mysterious events are just the prelude to the biggest threat of all. Soon he's racing against the clock, and against the most destructive enemy he's faced yet, to save his beloved city-before everyone's worst nightmare becomes a reality.

David Bizar was quoted in a May 22 story "U.S.-PHH Tag Team Raises Stakes in Test of CFPB's Constitutionality" from Bloomberg BNA on the Trump administration's unusual but not unprecedented decision to weigh in against the CFPB. Bizar said that if the D.C. Circuit adopts the Department of Justice's position and rejects the CFPB's, there likely won't be an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Last year, the Maxxcom-backed agency ranked 40th among the top 50 agencies in the Gunn Report, an annual tabulation of award winners from the top international and national creative competitions.
The Miami-based shop scored heavily with the BMW Mini print and TV campaign, along with work for Ikea and the American Legacy Foundation, said Donald Gunn, a former Leo Burnett Co. creative director and longtime analyst of award-winning creative work.
In a superb year for U.S. agencies to bring home creative prizes, several other U.S. shops staged comebacks. Havas' Arnold Worldwide Partners, Boston, moved up to No. 4 from No. 18 last year and Publicis Groupe's Fallon, Minneapolis, jumped to No. 12 from 35. Omnicom Group's Goodby, Silverstein & Partners had fallen off the top 50 agency offices chart last year, but campaigns for General Motors Corp.'s Saturn and Hewlett-Packard Co. brought the San Francisco shop back up to No. 22 this year. Crispin Porter displaced last year's most-awarded agency, independent Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, but Wieden still finished in third place behind TBWA, Paris.
At the global-network level, BBDO Worldwide kept the top spot for the second year in a row but Omnicom sibling TBWA Worldwide was a serious challenger for the top slot for the first time.
"TBWA had three agencies in the top 10-in France, the U.K. and the U.S.-and that's unprecedented," Mr. Gunn said. "But the winning network also needs global coverage. All TBWA's points came from 10 countries. BBDO had award-winning work from 24 markets."
Mr. Gunn monitors 32 TV and 20 print competitions to rank the best-performing networks, individual offices, countries, commercials and print ads (gunnreport.com). By Mr. Gunn's point system, the U.S. garnered almost twice as many points this year as the next-highest scorer, the U.K.
The single most award-winning commercial was Peugeot's "Sculptor" by Havas' Euro RSCG Mezzano Costantini Mignani, Milan, Italy. In the spot supposedly set in India, a young man batters his cherished car with blowtorches and elephants until it resembles the Peugeot he saw in an ad. The No. 2 spot, "Metamorphosis" by Interpublic Group of Cos.' VegaOlmosPonce, Buenos Aires, traces the Axe Effect that renders men who use Unilever's Axe body spray irresistible all the way to the grave, creating lust among the maggots.
The most awarded print ad was a Levi's campaign from Bartle Bogle Hegarty, Singapore, with the headline, "Classic men's jeans now recut for women." The ads show the naked torsos of a man and a woman emerging from the waist of the same pair of jeans.

I am not making many websites just dedicating my time at being the absolute best at just one site. It is subscription based so it has the potential to generate high revenue. I was curious if the community could List all the possible ways that you would go about getting to the Top of Google Searches. I already have about 20 different ways I can think of thus far. I just want to be sure that I don't miss anything when I go on my 6 month Web marketing adventure. This can hugely help out anyone knew to the site if we all just put in our input all in one location I launch officially Monday with the Beta so lets see how big a list we can get! Ill go first: 1. Create a yahoo answer account and ask questions and answer them in a none soliciting way to your website. (Make sure you change up the Ips) 2. Create an informative or hilarious youtube vid with your Url in the description to generate easy traffic. 3. Write a ton of articles for your niche and submit them to Enzine articles.

'People have spoken', both Britain, EU 'indispensable partners': Obama
President Barack Obama said on Friday the US relationship with both Britain and the European Union would endure in the wake of British voters' decision to leave the EU.india Updated: Jun 24, 2016 21:49 IST
President Barack Obama said on Friday the US relationship with both Britain and the European Union would endure in the wake of British voters' decision to leave the EU.
"The people of the United Kingdom have spoken, and we respect their decision," Obama said in a statement.
"The United Kingdom and the European Union will remain indispensable partners of the United States even as they begin negotiating their ongoing relationship," Obama added.
Britain's decision at a referendum on Thursday forced the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron and dealt the biggest blow to the European project of greater unity since World War Two.
Obama, during a visit to London in April, had argued passionately against Brexit, or Britain's exit from the EU, in an unusually strong intervention into British politics.
He had warned that close NATO ally Britain would be "in the back of the queue" for a trade deal with the United States if it dropped out of the EU, but opinion did not swing in favor of the "Remain" campaign.
Thursday's vote result rattled Wall Street and other markets around the world.
US presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday thrust himself into the heart of the Brexit issue, calling the result of the vote a "great thing" and drawing parallels to his own insurgent campaign.
In Scotland to reopen a golf resort, he praised Britons who he said "took back control of their country."
"People want to take their country back. They want to have independence in a sense. You see it with Europe, all over Europe," Trump, 70, said in Turnberry, Scotland.
US Vice President Joe Biden, travelling in Ireland, said the United States would have preferred that Britain had voted to remain in the European Union, but respected the result.
"I must say we had looked for a different outcome. We would have preferred a different outcome ... but the United States has a long-standing friendship with the United Kingdom and that very special bond will endure," he said in a speech in Dublin.
He had travelled to London at the request of Cameron, whom he calls a friend, exhorting Britons to stay in the EU. The unusual intervention was denounced as meddling by those campaigning for the country to leave the EU.
Obama has said his involvement was justified because of the two countries' longstanding special relationship. He also had warned that leaving the EU would put Britain at the "back of the queue" for a trade deal with the United States.
His former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate in the Nov. 8 election, had also said she hoped the UK would stay in the EU.
In response to Britain's decision to leave, Clinton said the United States must first safeguard against any economic fallout at home at "this time of uncertainty" and underscore its commitment to both Britain and Europe.

She has a slightly bigger engine than KOTI, a 90BETA, and the fuel economy is very similar.

There and Back Again
I'm back from my first roadtrip with friends!
It was so much fun I wish I'll never get back to a regular desk job (though it might not be as much fun for my bank account...), so that I can take off whenever I please. Unlike three of the guys who couldn't make it after all.
The four of us set off early Saturday morning on a long, eventually scenic drive to Hope.
The first stop was at a riverside fruit stand, where B. picked up some strawberries. Half an hour later, Raccoon, our driver for most of the trip, stopped in Agassiz for some Canadian hazelnuts.
The owner suggested that we take some pictures under the trees, and we walked into her farm to find the most magical place in the world. A small corner of it is captured in the first photo above.
We reached Coquihalla Provincial/Regional Park (actually two joined parks I couldn't tell apart) about 2.5 hours later.
The hiking was fairly light, but we got a nice long walk through five of the nine tunnels -- the last few were closed due to a recent landslide. All are connected by the remains of a railway from the early days of Canadian history.
It was refreshingly cool and pitch black in every tunnel. We had to rely on camera flashes and cellphone flashlights (apparently there's an app for that) to get through.
Each stretch in between was shrouded by mountains and edged in an emerald-coloured river.
Having filled our cameras with scenery and tourist-y poses, we headed to Harrison for more sightseeing... in a pedal-cart!
It's actually a lot more difficult to move the cart with four people than with two... I guess the weight of the cart doesn't increase in the proper ratio. It's a good workout for your butt and thighs, anyway, and the most amusing mode of transportation ever. Well worth the $40 per hour (a mere $10/person).
Over all, this has been an awesome trip! The only thing that would've made it better would be if we had gone the whole way there and back in a pedal cart.

Simon Cowell's mirror mansion
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 January 2009
Simon Cowell is building a £10 million home in Barbados with mirrored walls in the bedrooms
Simon Cowell is building a £10 million home in Barbados with mirrored walls in the bedrooms.
The 'American Idol' judge has bought a 10-acre site for his new house, which will boast six bedrooms, a swimming pool and a helipad.
A source said: "No expense will be spared. It will have all the latest gizmos and boy toys. Cowell has been very specific when it comes to what he wants and insisted on the mirror panels in the bedroom. He thinks they will be hilarious and can't wait to show them off.
"Simon will be personally overseeing the whole building process."
Simon is "in love" with the Caribbean island, and already owns a £5 million house there.
The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "He is undecided at the moment about whether he will sell his other home or not. He's so rich he might keep both of them. It's a luxury he can afford."
Meanwhile, Simon's half brother Tony is reportedly desperate to star on UK TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Tony has already asked producers if he can appear on the next series of the show, which is a direct rival of Simon's series 'The X Factor'.
A source said: "It's early days but Tony's been in touch and producers are keen. The Cowell brothers going head-to-head would make great Saturday night TV."

The main reason for this blog was that I wouldn't bring gaming into it. Gaming is to be blogged elsewhere, or at least that was the plan until today. Because today is the day of the Rickets Revelation.
Yup, rickets is all the rage these days and it's being blamed, you guessed it, on videogames. The theory is, you see, that you play videogames so you don't see daylight and therefore don't get the rickets banishing vitamin D you need to live a normal, healthy existence. It's quite funny that the media has, for the most part, latched onto the videogames aspect of this report when just the general increase in computer use was also listed as a cause. But hey, when things mention videogames then the first thing that flashes through everyone's mind is evil.
Games get a lot of bad press. They make us violent. They make us anti-social. They strip us of social skills. They make us fat. They make us pale. They make us, I noticed on an advert earlier, not clean our teeth properly. So, for all the Daily Mail readers out there, you're quite likely to be attacked by a pale, fat, wheezing person with bad teeth and bow legs. Keep an eye out. You never know when they'll strike. And they won't be able to tell you because they're socially inept. Mind you, there's also a good chance that all their bones will explode when they hit you, so you'll probably be alright.
The violence in videogames issue is an ongoing thing. As long as there are advances in technology bringing us better graphics, better sounds and better gameplay people will point the finger of blame at the games. Games are notorious for leading people astray. God, don't you remember in the '80s, when everyone played Super Mario and then ran out into the street and tried to knock turtles out of their shells with their arses and climb into pipes. I remember, as a child, insisting the my dad suspended my pocket money in mid-air so I could jump up and collect it with a little "ting" noise.
A poor workman blames his tools though, and people are often quick to judge videogames as the root of all evil. Maybe, just maybe (pay attention Daily Mail et al), you should look past the videogame and look at the circumstances that have led to that person playing the games. As adults we're responsible for our behaviours – the buck stops with us. I'm a 32 year old gamer. I've been playing games for something close to 25 years – I've never killed anyone. I've never felt the need to act out a videogame. But I also know that, when I was younger, if I'd tried to kill anyone my parents would have stopped me – although there is a slight chance that depending on the target, I may have been encouraged with my dad chipping in things he'd learnt in the Marines. If I had killed anyone I don't think that, back then, the finger of blame would have been pointed at the games I was playing. The finger of blame would have been pointed at my parents. Why didn't they stop me? Why hadn't they noticed that I was dabbling in the dark arts?
These days very little blame is attributed to the parents. When I see a divvy parent buying games for their blatantly under-age child I do bubble with a little hint of rage. I often say that I wish I could go up behind the parent and slam their head into the shelf. There are two reasons I don't do this, however. Firstly the attack would be blamed on videogames – earning them more bad press but actually, for the first time ever, being kind of right. Secondly, I've never played a game where I've had to ram a parent's head into a shelf so wouldn't be able to do it. The rage is genuine though. I'm not a parent, but it surely can't be that hard to show a bit of interest in what your child is doing or to put a bit of effort into researching their hobbies a little so that you at least have a basic grasp of what the hell you're letting them spend countless hours doing. Especially if you're going to fork over £40 on something you're just going to blame for them being a twat later in life.
As for the rickets, it turns out that you can get vitamin D from brazil nuts, so if you'll excuse me I'm going to pull the curtains, grab some nuts and have a quick play…
