Do what matters
It's a simple enough idea but it informs everything we do. From the organisations we work with to the way we work with them. We find the things that matter most about the people and organisations doing the work that really matters. The key insight or truth from which to create a brand, a campaign or a seismic change. Then we amplify this through inspired creative and design thinking. You could call it sustainable communications. We call it doing the work that matters.

Maasim, Sarangani Province, 20 November 2010 – Around 1,000 villagers from Maasim, Sarangani in Mindanao, the Philippines' deep south, form the words "No to Coal" on the grounds of a local elementary school. The community was joined by Greenpeace volunteers and crew from the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior. The Rainbow Warrior arrived in Mindanao yesterday for its "Turn the Tide" tour of Southeast Asia, to join thousands of Sarangani folk as they sought to 'knock out' coal and broadcast their rejection of dirty coal power. Conal Holdings Corp is planning to build a coal plant in Maasim municipality to the detriment of the health and livelihoods of surrounding communities. Greenpeace is supporting communities in Southeast Asia in their struggle against coal and is calling for the massive uptake of clean, renewable energy with an Energy [R]evolution.

Non-native tiger shrimp are back in South Atlantic waters and threatening native species. But this time, it isn't Bluffton's fault.
In 1988 an accidental release of 2,000 creatures in Bluffton led to 300 tiger shrimp turning up in commercial shrimp trawlers' nets along the Atlantic coastline of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
Then for 18 years, they disappeared, only to resurface in 2006.
The source of the latest population is speculated to be aquaculture operations in the Caribbean, northern South America, and the west coast of Africa, according to the S.C. Department of Natural Resources.
S.C. DNR is now warning the public that tiger shrimp are showing a "striking increase" from North Carolina to Florida and across the Gulf States to Texas. Even the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has posted an advisory on its website, featuring one of the black and yellow animals.
In fact, Palmetto State officials are now asking the public to make aquaculture "WANTED" poster of sorts, if they find a tiger shrimp and report it to state officials.
"Recreational and commercial shrimpers are encouraged to report catches of tiger shrimp in South Carolina to the S.C. DNR at firstname.lastname@example.com. If possible, reports should include a photograph of the animal along with location and date of capture. Specimens less than 5 inches in length are of particular interest and should be kept frozen prior to donation."

Jacques Tardi is without a doubt one of the most important artists of his generation. He invented a new variation within the clear line style and in this way inspired many artists. Tardi's expressionistic style is perfect for his stories about World War I and about the underworld of the city. Tardi is the father of "the new realism" and a master in depicting both the old city of Paris as the awful life in the trenches of the Big War.
Adieu Brindavoine (Pilote #700, 5/4/1973)
After studying fine arts in Lyon and decorative arts in Paris, Tardi joined Pilote magazine in 1970. He started out illustrating several short stories written by Jean Giraud and Serge De Beketch, before he drew the political fiction story 'Rumeurs sur le Rouergue' (text by Pierre Christin). He also worked in the western genre for Record ('Blue Jackett', 'Cheval Gris'). For Dargaud, he produced 'Le Démon des Glaces' and 'La Véritable Histoire du Soldat Inconnu'. He expanded his activities in 1975, and drew for Libération, Charlie Mensuel and L'Écho des Savanes. Several of his short stories were collected in the album 'Mouh-Mouh' in 1979.
Adèle Blanc-Sec (1998)
For Métal Hurlant, Tardi created 'Polonius' with writer Picaret in 1976. That same year, he began his famous turn-of-the-century mystery serial 'Adèle Blanc-Sec' in the daily Sud-Ouest. Tardi made 8 installments of the series with long hiatuses until 1998 and a ninth story appeared in 2007. French director and producer Luc Besson started working on a trilogy of movies based on the books, and the first was released in 2010.
Tardi also began 'Griffu' (text by Jean-Patrick Manchette) in B.D. and 'Ici Même' (text by Jean-Claude Forest) in À Suivre. For the latter, he adapted Léo Malet's novel character 'Nestor Burma' to comics.
Ici Même (À Suivre)
Tardi's books on World War I have become classics, like his most famous work, 'C'était la Guerre des Tranchées', which strikingly portrayed the disillusionment of the war. In the early 1980s, he produced such titles as 'Tueur de Cafards', 'Jeux pour Mourir', 'Le Trou d'Obus', 'Mines de Plomb' and 'Chiures de Gomme'. He also became an illustrator of books by Céline and he wrote his first novel in 1990.
Guerre des Tranchees
In the 1990s, Tardi began painting and drew several portfolios. He continued his comics work with 'Le Cochon Enchanté' (based on a Rumanian tale), 'Le Sens de la Houppelande', 'L'Enfant de l'Absente', and 'Sodome et Virginie'. He teamed up with Michel Boujut to create several cinematographic stories for Charlie-Hebdo from 1993.
Adèle Blanc-Sec (1994)
He also created the radio series 'Le Perroquet des Batignolles' with Boujet. Although Tardi has repeatedly said that he hates drawing the modern world, his work 'La Debauche', scripted by Daniel Pennac, is a colorful satire of late twentieth-century Paris. In 2001, Tardi and writer Jean Vautrin created 'Le Cri du Peuple' about the rebellion of the Communards, of which four books were published by Futuropois between 2001 and 2004. Tardi then continued to make comic adaptations of Jean-Patrick Manchette novels for Les Humanoïdes Associés, including 'Le Petit Bleu de la Côte Ouest' (2005), 'La Position du tireur couché' (2010) and 'Ô dingos, ô châteaux!' (2011). In 2012 he told the story of his father, a French soldier who spent about five in a German prisoner camp during World War II, in the graphic novel 'Moi René Tardi, prisonnier de guerre au Stalag IIB'.
In 2010 a feature film called 'Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec' was released, made with close cooperation of Tardi. Fantagraphics picked up Tardi's classic comic in the same year for publication in the US.

Cooling Your Ride and Increasing Horsepower with Flex-a-lite
Living in Florida has its disadvantages. For starters, sitting at a red light gives a car the chance to boil itself into an explosion of coolant, water, and radiator hoses. When our Mopar musclecars were built, the factory supplied an ample cooling system for the engine and the accessories supplied with the car. That was 20, 30, even 40 years ago in some cases, and aging parts and aftermarket modifications have changed the playing field a bit. The adding of items such as larger camshafts and higher compression ratios create more heat within an engine and the cooling system needs to play catch up.
An integral part of any cooling system is the fan. Be it a nonthermal or thermal coupling, or direct driven, the factory used these three versions with great success. It has long been known, however, that the effort exerted by the engine to turn the fan will rob a certain amount of horsepower. Even though a nonthermal coupling fan is the most efficient of the mechanical drive fans, horsepower is still used to rotate it. If you need to free up every last bit of horsepower, an electric fan can be installed, and since the engine has no connection with the fan, it requires no engine energy to run. The little stock 360 in the Valiant needed every last bit of horsepower it could muster, and an addition of an electric fan was a definite must. We contacted Flex-a-lite and ordered one of their Black Magic universal fans, PN 150.
With the installation of an electric fan and shroud, Flex-a-lite recommends at least 70 percent of the radiator's core be covered by the fan and shroud. Although the Black Magic fan is designed as a puller-type fan, by turning the blade over and reversing the polarity of the motor, it can be used as a pusher. Keep in mind, a fan is more efficient when used as a puller fan as opposed to pushing.
Flex-a-lite Black Magic fan PN 150 $199.99**

Black-burnished ware, Drinking Cup fragment, 1st-3rd Cent
Cast clay; 30mm x 4mm/3.9gm. At this size and weight, it was certainly from a small drinking cup used by the servants.
Seller's Note/ Unlike Terra sigillata that was used by Roman elites as serving plates and vessels to show off their wealth and taste, black-burnished ware was used in the kitchen for cooking. This is an excellent example of such cooking ware. Oddly enough, such fragments are more scarce than terra sigillata!
Always desirable to Roman collectors, such pieces look great in shadowboxes.

Greg Kessinger's class for the USAF was at "the top of the world"!
Mr. Kessinger has also provided fire alarm training classes for oil companies in both northern Alberta Canada (oil sands) and Alaska, but this Air Base site 'topped' them all! At more than 600 miles further north than Point Barrow, Alaska, it is very near "the top of the world"! In fact, a compass here will point westward, since the difference between magnetic north and true north is considerable at this latitude. For some photos, click here.
Having taught several classes for the United States Air Force in the past, including one for the technicians charged with protecting America's Stealth Fighters, his most recent Air Force class was very different!
With some of the coldest temperatures on earth, the walls at Thule have to be over a foot thick to keep the heat in (but with small windows to keep the Polar Bears out).
Read about Mr. Kessinger's recent fire alarm class he held at the top of the world for technicians and engineers at Thule Air Base in Greenland, 650 miles above the arctic circle.

Q. How can you tell if someone is selling out-of-date fire alarm training manuals and other materials?
A. If they mention "Work Elements"! The new NICET tests are no longer based on Work Elements!
NICET has finished their changeover to computer-based testing. NICET's new PC fire alarm exam is currently being given for all four Levels. While our software programs were originally designed to follow the Work Element test scheme, NICET's new computerized tests are not broken down into specific Work Elements. However, those taking the new PC based exam will still be tested on the same general knowledge. Their exams are now Pass/Fail tests. Doing poorly in several specific subject areas will cause you to fail the test and the entire test will have to be re-taken. In other words, you will no longer be taking a series of mini-quizzes for each Work Element by answering five to seven questions grouped into subject specific areas such as Job Safety or Smoke Detection. This will mean that our practice test software should become even more valuable since it will indicate weak subject areas. Locate your nearest NICET Test location HERE.
OUR NEW SOFTWARE HAS ARRIVED TO REFLECT THE "PEARSON VUE" TEST EXPERIENCE! (GET the F.A.C.T.S.©)

The instructor
Mr. Greg Kessinger teaches fire alarm classes across the United States. He is a trained professional, holding a teaching degree from Kent State University in Ohio. After having taught high school for eight years, his love of education persisted. Although he owned his own alarm company from 1982 through 2010, he also began to teach fire alarm code classes to inspectors and technicians. Greg is also a magazine columnist for Security Dealer & Integrator and authors the industry's longest continuously published fire alarm column called "Grill the Fire Expert". Some of his accomplishments and experience are listed below.

Fox's Chris Wallace Disappears Allegation That Boeing Retaliated Against Union Workers
Chris Wallace said that the National Labor Relations Board "went after Boeing for wanting to build a plant in right-to-work South Carolina." But this description completely obscures the motivation for the NLRB's action: Its complaint against Boeing alleges that the company illegally retaliated against union workers in Washington state for going on strike.
Wallace Says NLRB "Went After" Boeing For Decision On Location Of New Plant
Wallace: NLRB "Went After Boeing For Wanting to Build A Plant In Right-To-Work South Carolina." From Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier:
CHRIS WALLACE (guest host): Rich Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO, announcing Big Labor's new plan to push its candidates and causes in the 2012 election.
We're back now with our panel. So, Mara, the Obama administration has taken a really strong pro-union tilt in recent weeks and months. The National Labor Relations Board, with its Democratic Obama-appointed majority, went after Boeing for wanting to build a plant in right-to-work South Carolina. Now the NLRB says employers must post notices of workers' rights in all workplaces -- their rights to organize -- even though there hasn't been any case. They're really deciding it on their own. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 8/31/11]
NLRB Actually Alleges Boeing Illegally Retaliated Against Union For Lawful Strikes
Complaint From NLRB General Counsel's Office Alleges Boeing Decided To Transfer 787 Production To SC Because Washington State Employees "Engag[ed] In ... Lawful Strikes." From the NLRB general counsel's complaint against Boeing:
(a) In or about October 2009, on a date better known to Respondent, but no later than October 28, 2009, Respondent decided to transfer its second 787 Dreamliner production line of 3 planes per month from the Unit to its non-union site in North Charleston, South Carolina.
(b) Respondent engaged in the conduct described above in paragraph 7(a) because the Unit employees assisted and/or supported the Union by, inter alia, engaging in the protected, concerted activity of lawful strikes and to discourage these and/or other employees from engaging in these or other union and/or protected, concerted activities.
(c) Respondent's conduct described above in paragraph 7(a), combined with the conduct described above in Paragraph 6, is also inherently destructive of the rights guaranteed employees by § 7 of the Act. [The Boeing Company NLRB General Counsel's Office Complaint, 4/20/11]
Complaint Alleges Boeing "Threatened Or Impliedly Threatened" Workers That They "Would Lose Additional Work In The Event Of Future Strikes." From the NLRB general counsel's complaint against Boeing:
On or about the dates and by the manner noted below, Respondent [Boeing] made coercive statements to its employees that it would remove or had removed work from the Unit because employees had struck and Respondent threatened or impliedly threatened that the Unit would lose additional work in the event of future strikes. [The Boeing Company NLRB General Counsel's Office Complaint, 4/20/11]
NLRB Specifically Stated Boeing Can Build Anywhere It Wants, If Decisions Are "Non-Discriminatory"
Complaint Says Boeing Is Free To Make "Non-Discriminatory Decisions" About "Where Work Will Be Performed." From the NLRB general counsel's complaint against Boeing:
(a) As part of the remedy for the unfair labor practices alleged above in paragraphs 7 and 8, the Acting General Counsel seeks an Order requiring Respondent to have the Unit operate its second line of 787 Dreamliner aircraft assembly production in the State of Washington, utilizing supply lines maintained by the Unit in the Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, area facilities.
(b) Other than as set forth in paragraph 13(a) above, the relief requested by the Acting General Counsel does not seek to prohibit Respondent from making non-discriminatory decisions with respect to where work will be performed, including non-discriminatory decisions with respect to work at its North Charleston, South Carolina, facility. [The Boeing Company NLRB general counsel's office complaint, 4/20/11]
Labor Law Experts Have Said If Allegations Are True, It Would Be "A Classic Violation" Of Labor Laws
Labor Law Professor Brudney: "Relocating Work Away From A Plant Because Of Too Much Lawful Union Activity Would Be A Classic Violation" Of Federal Labor Laws. In a telephone interview with Media Matters, James J. Brudney, the Newton D. Baker-Baker & Hostetler Chair in Law at Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, said: "Relocating work away from a plant because of too much lawful union activity would be a classic violation of 8(a)(3)" of the National Labor Relations Act, which makes it illegal for employers "to discriminat[e] in regard to hire or tenure of employment or any term or condition of employment to encourage or discourage membership in any labor organization."

Labor And Employment Law Professor Fisk: If NLRB General Counsel's Complaint Is True, This Is An "Absolutely Standard Violation" Of Federal Labor Laws. In a telephone interview with Media Matters, University of California-Irvine Chancellor's Professor of Law Catherine Fisk said that if the NLRB general counsel's complaint is true, this is an "absolutely standard violation of Section 8(a)(1) [of the National Labor Relations Act], which has been in the statute since 1935 and prohibits retaliation against employees for protected activities" such as forming a union, engaging in collective bargaining, and striking. Fisk also said that she saw "nothing controversial" about the complaint. [Phone interview with Media Matters, 5/11/11]
Labor Law Professor Secunda: Complaint Against Boeing Shows The NLRB Is "Carrying Out Its Congressionally Mandated Mission To Protect The Right Of Workers To Engage In Concerted Activity." From a Seattle Times editorial by Marquette University Law School associate professor Paul Secunda:
The National Labor Relations Act gives workers the unequivocal right to engage in concerted activity -- including the right to strike. Boeing stated publicly that it was moving production away from Washington because its workers there previously went on strike and could go on strike again in the future.
Such comments amount to an admission from the company that it was intentionally retaliating against employees and trying to limit their rights -- a clear affront to the law that the NLRB is charged with enforcing.
At the end of the day, what we are seeing is the agency carrying out its congressionally mandated mission to protect the right of workers to engage in concerted activity for mutual aid and protection. The agency is simply enforcing the law, providing balance and fairness for workers and businesses alike. [The Seattle Times, 4/29/11]
Labor Law Professor Hirsch: Boeing Allegations Involve A "Relatively Straightforward Case Of An Employer Punishing Workers For Striking." From a post on the Workplace Prof Blog by University of Tennessee College of Law associate professor Jeffrey Hirsch:
I've been surprised at how much attention is getting paid to the NLRB General Counsel's complaint against Boeing. Based on what I've seen, the conservative uproar to what, based on the allegations is a relatively straightforward case of an employer punishing workers for striking (with admittedly large potential economic impacts), is way out of proportion. But this editorial from the Wall Street Journal (subscription required, but if you Google the title, you can find it free) and the legislation it describes, has now entered the bizzaro stage.
As for the editorial, even taking into account the normal tenor one would expect from a WSJ editorial, I honestly don't ever remember seeing any piece of writing with so many inaccuracies. For instance, there's the title, which states that there is a Board ruling (it's just a GC complaint); the description of the remedy to shut down production in South Carolina (the GC doesn't seek that, it would just require Boeing to maintain production in Washington; and the argument that the complaint requires employers to stay in non-right-to-work states (I don't even know where to begin). Two minutes with a fact-checker would've had these cut, although that would've undermined the purpose of the editorial and its support for the legislation. [Workplace Prof Blog, 5/4/11]
