Nike Business Essay
Look for critical success factors, matches and mismatches. Identify any key areas that have affected Nike.
Look at tools of analysis e.g. swot analysis, pestle, value chain, porter's 5 forces, shareholder matrix, resource view, 4 p's, BCG matrix.etc and others to come to your answer.
Nike operates within the sports footwear and apparel market. Originally designing and producing running shoes, their portfolio has broadened to include a wide range of sports and leisure wear. This is all endorsed by top sporting personalities.
This environment is fairly stable although terrorism and Sars has affected consumer confidence and supply networks.
Mission Statement
In its mission statement Nike expresses that it requires doing business in a responsible way, leading to sustainable financial growth. With the advances in technology, HR practices, the well informed and trained work force, there is very little left to differentiate organisations. Being seen to go further than the minimum required on social issues can attract and retain customers. This green cleansing attracts attention to the organisation; they are viewed as caring and social responsible (Mullins, L. 2005).
A report, on the business practices of Nike through its supply chain accused the organisation of being involved in poor working conditions, violations of labour rights, low wages and harassment of its workforce. Nike takes these reports seriously. On the basis of the research findings the company has intensified the monitoring of its suppliers (Hummels, H and Timmer, D.2004)
Past options
To build its business with all of its partners based on trust, teamwork, honesty and mutual respect; this is expected to be returned, expecting business partners to operate on the same principles.
Nike does not want to only do what is required by law, but also do what is expected of a leader
Future Options
Review and monitor closer the actions of business partners
To prevent bad publicity, which can damage the organisation
Critical Success Factor
To demonstrate to consumers the high value within the organisation to CSR.
Change of Focus
Hummels, H and Timmer, D.2004 agreed that these reports were needed, Although Mullin, L. 2005 stated that it could be just green washing
Nikes Function
Past options
the company focus on design and development
This reduces long term debt has the benefit of not tying capital up in plant and equipment
Future Options
Critical Success Factor
Reduced size of premises therefore reduced costs. Vital to have innovative employees. Products are viewed as innovative
Change of Focus
Johnson, G & Scholes J 2004 agreed that this was a cost effective method of production
Production Within several of these countries there have been problems with production, distribution and political problems. With the change in relationship between the USA and Vietnam and China, these are new production venues that Nike could explore.
Past options
Produce goods in the Far east
Keeps costs down
Future Options
Vietnam and China
New trade agreements, present sites are switching manufacturing to electrical goods
Critical Success Factor
Maintaining current standards, closer working relationships, retaining customer loyalty by guaranteed standard of product
Change of Focus
A shift to a more managed production
All organisation need to watch changes in political and economical factors in their outsourcing. Johnson, G & Scholes J 2004,
Shareholder Matrix
Surrounding all organisations are stakeholders, all with varied levels of authority, power and interest towards the organisation Mendelow (1991)...

Foreplay would be like all the little players warming up on the pitch, gotta stretch certain muscles and get them ready for the game, so kissing, touching, caressing etc would be the warm up, now u need to make sure that you warm the female body properly or you won't be deemed fit enough to play a match and have 2 take ur ass home or the woman would leave.
However depending how cute you are or how much that girl likes you if your foreplay isn't on point we'll give u yellow card and give u a little warning, give you 1 2 2 coaching tips like your coach/manager or take control for a while, try change the formation and see which position you can handle the most!!
Now, think of female genitalia as the goal, each player is different with how they score a goal some like to shoot the ball straight into the back of the net,some like to show a little skill and tap the ball in be a little show off, some like to hit the goal in all different angles which is fine but you don't wanna hit the post i.e slip out n hit somewhere where your not supposed 2 or COMPLETELY MISS DA NET in the first place (y'all know wot I'm talking bout)
Now if you try hit it in the booty thats a straight RED CARD
- Come off the pitch
- Do not pass go
- Do not collect your £200
You only stay on ur team (with your female) for as long as ur performance is good, we look at how many goals are scored per season ( you get the hint by now) your performance in both the first and second half, if your a good captain and team player, your agility and fitness and your pay will be worth it!! (hopefully coz i ain't gonna lie some of ur girls are SLACKING but that;s a next subject don't worry man dem i hear ur cries) if not we make a substitution and bring in someone else YA DIGGGGGG!!!!
lol this was just a random thought in my head u guys know how I'm crazy its all for a laugh n was inspired by a comedienne called Dionne she was funny!!!
I'm Gonna Write More Call Them VEX IN THE CITY!!

Is there anyone in the Michigan community, or for that matter, in the entire country that can explain LOGICALLY the svengali power over our young people and less educated and unquestioning citizens by one of the presidential candidates?
He was born in a foreign country to an Islamic activist father of African heritage and a white mother. Parents can have an indelible influence on their children and that can include the severe indoctrination of the Muslim religion.
He said he was later raised by his maternal grandmother. His father had abandoned him. His mother apparently didn't raise him.
As an adult he married a girl who stated that she was never proud of America (until her husband was selected as a presidential candidate).

Atezolizumab (Tecentriq) monotherapy produced substantial response rates as first-line or subsequent treatment in patients who had advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with confirmed programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) expression, reported the phase II BIRCH trial.
Atezolizumab therapy produced a 22% objective response rate in first-line treatment, 19% in second-line, and 18% in third-line or higher in patients with PD-L1 expression on ≥ 5% of tumor cells (TC) or tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC), according to Enriqueta Felip, MD, PhD, of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, and colleagues. Patients with the highest levels of PD-L1 expression -- TC3 or IC3 -- had better objective response rates: 31% in first-line, 26% in second-line, and 27% third-line or higher.
"BIRCH demonstrated responses with atezolizumab monotherapy with PD-L1-selected advanced NSCLC, with good tolerability," the authors wrote in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. "PD-L1 status may serve as a predictive biomarker for identifying patients most likely to benefit from atezolizumab."
Atezolizumab binds PD-L1 and inhibits PD-L1-mediated signaling, and has been shown to demonstrate efficacy in both chemotherapy-naive and previously treated NSCLC. The single-arm BIRCH trial aimed to assess atezolizumab's efficacy and safety across different lines in patients with pre-selected levels of PD-LI expression. Its primary endpoint was an independently-reviewed objective response rate versus historical objective response rates with chemotherapy.
Only patients with PD-L1 expression on ≥ 5% of tumor cells (TC2/3) or tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC2/3) were enrolled in the study. Expression levels ≥ 50% on tumor cells were defined as TC3. Expression levels ≥ 10% on tumor-infiltrating immune cells were defined as IC3.
The study included 659 patients with advanced NSCLC and no central nervous system metastases. Participants had a median age of 64, and 59% were men.
The sample was divided into cohorts, based on the line of therapy atezolizumab represented: first-line (139 patients; cohort 1), second-line (268 patients; cohort 2), and third-line or higher (252 patients; cohort 3) groups. Overall, 46% of patients had TC3 or IC3 status, distributed similarly across cohorts.
All patients received 1,200 mg of atezolizumab intravenously every 3 weeks. The median duration of treatment was 4.2 months, and the median number of doses was 7. Patients in cohort 1 were required to discontinue atezolizumab at disease progression. Patients in cohorts 2 and 3 could continue treatment as long as they received clinical benefit.
The overall objective response rates were 22%, 19%, and 18% in cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively, after a minimum follow-up of 12 months. In the subgroup of TC3 and IC3 patients, the objective response rates were 31%, 26%, and 27% in cohorts 1, 2, and 3. Responses occurred regardless of EGFR or KRAS mutation status.
Median progression-free survival was 5.4 months in cohort 1, 2.8 months in cohort 2, and 2.8 months in cohort 3. Median overall survival was 23.5, 15.5, and 13.2 months for each cohort, respectively. TC3 and IC3 patients in cohort 1 -- in other words, patients who had the highest levels of PD-L1 expression and who used atezolizumab as first-line treatment -- had a median overall survival of 26.9 months.
The safety profile was similar across all cohorts and consistent with previous atezolizumab monotherapy trials. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse effects were fatigue (19%), diarrhea (11%), nausea (11%), and severe itching (10%). The incidence of atezolizumab-related pneumonitis (3.3%) was consistent with prior studies.
In an accompanying editorial, Daniel Tan, MBBS, PhD, of the National Cancer Centre Singapore, noted that the BIRCH study offers a glimpse into the potential role of atezolizumab as first-line treatment, especially in light of what he called the "remarkable median overall survival of 26.9 months" in TC3 or IC3 patients.
This magnitude of clinical benefit is consistent with the findings from KEYNOTE-024, he observed, where, in first-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥ 50%, pembrolizumab elicited a response rate of 44.8% and was associated with significant progression-free survival.
"Within the limitations of cross-trial comparisons and differences in diagnostic antibodies, these results support the notion that in a highly selected patient subset, there remains a role for upfront checkpoint-inhibition monotherapy, where sustained T cell-mediated immunity can result in durable anti-tumor effects," he wrote.
Limitations of the BIRCH study were similar to those of other single-arm phase II trials. Though it was open-label, its endpoint was assessed by an independent review facility that was blinded to all clinical data except previous treatment to minimize potential bias.
The study results were compared with historical objective response rates with chemotherapy because chemotherapy was the standard of care for advanced NSCLC when BIRCH started.
The BIRCH trial was supported by Genentech (a member of the Roche Group) and a National Institutes of Health grant.
Felip and other co-investigators disclosed relevant relationships with Roche. Tan disclosed industry relationships, but not with Roche.

Irish Pubs Global creates worldwide plastic straw campaign
Irish Pubs Global, the association for Irish pubs worldwide, has recently launched a campaign to its members urging them to phase out the use of plastic straws in their pubs in an effort to combat the issue of plastic pollution.
The campaign comes at the same time as pubs, and the wider hospitality sector, are being urged to stop using plastic straws and stirrers, to reduce plastic packaging waste and recycle more as part of calls backed by the British Institute of Innkeeping, the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers, the British Beer & Pub Association and The Morning Advertiser.
As part of its campaign, Irish Pubs Global is offering members 10% off their 2018 membership if they pledge to phase out plastic straws in their pubs – a move that has received great feedback and interest worldwide.
Irish Pubs Global CEO Colm O'Reilly said: "Irish Pubs Global has recently launched a global campaign to its members worldwide urging them to phase out the use of plastic drinking straws in their establishments.
"Plastic pollution is a hugely important issue that we need to increase awareness on and we are delighted to back The Morning Advertiser campaign in the UK with the British Institute of Innkeeping, the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers, the British Beer & Pub Association urging pubs to stop using plastic straws and stirrers."
There are many environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic straws that can be used in pubs, including paper, bioplastic and reusable stainless steel or glass straws.
Irish Pubs Global community manager Averyl Quinn added: "We are delighted to have received such a positive reaction from our members on this issue of combating plastic pollution.
"The statistics on the environmental impact of plastic straws alone are shocking and we encourage all our members in Irish pubs worldwide to join us in our campaign to end the use of plastic straws and spread awareness on this topic."

Videos using the formula "five reasons why x car sucks" are nothing new. Hell, here's one on the ultra-rare Lykan Hypersport. Some of these videos try to be funny or just plain outlandish. This video from YouTube channel Engineering Explained does its best to be objective. Regardless, it still pissed a ton of people off, as evidenced by the comments section. Now the host of this video has a bit of experience with the Subaru WRX STI he's bashing, having done a recent comparison video between it and the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR.
While every one of his seven points isn't objective the video is still an interesting watch. It's much more than the standard "this car sucks because," argument.

FO – Messenger Bag
Posted by notthatkat on June 13, 2007
This bag is very loosely based on the striped satchel in this pattern book(scroll down to the bottom), but by the time I was done, about the only things I kept were the colors (mostly) and the stitch pattern. I made the front/bottom/back/flap as a single piece, increased the size, picked up and integrated the stitches for the sides, changed the strap, added applied I-cord to the edge of the flap, added pockets to the inside… basically I would describe it as more inspired by than based on the original.
Yarn: Patons Classic Merino Wool
Colors: Old Gold, Leaf Gree, That's Pink, That's Blue, Too Teal, and Bright Red
It has pockets on the inside on both the front and back sides. (this one's the front)
This has been a back burner project for a very long time. As best I can remember, I started working on it in January 2006. Initially, I worked on it in fits and starts around other projects. Then I had to figure out how to integrate the sides and strap. Later, it sat in the UFO pile until I decided to resurrect it this spring. It was still back burner, and I kept coming up with new ideas to incorporate. Finally a couple weeks ago, I decided I was ready to felt it. Since then, I've been poking around on the finishing. I finished the final touches on Saturday. Wanna see?
I love these buttons I found to go on it. They're just too perfect.
I finished not one bit too soon, because on Sunday, I got an FO of a different sort:
This is my brand new laptop, my first ever. I've been socking away money for it for a couple years now, and my very good friend and computer guru Vic helped me with the selection process as well as getting me a really good deal. I've barely had time to play, but I love it already.
Will you look at that? Perfect fit. I couldn't have planned it any better.
In other news, I needed something to spin while I wait for my high speed flyer to come in. Besides the fact that I don't like to go too long without spinning, I had my fiber guild meeting this weekend. I dug through my fiber stash and came up with one of those near legendary Grafton Fibers batts:
I ordered this from the website shortly before they stopped retail sales. They now do only wholesale orders, but have a list of retailers on their site. I'm not sure if they are still doing fiber fairs and events, but as they never came down my way, seeing them as such venues was not an option for me. This batt is squishy and complex, and spins like a dream. I have one more I got at the same time, but I'll probably
hoard save it for a while.
The second curtain is off the needles, and I am working on finishing them.
The socks have two pattern repeats, with a half repeat to go before they get heels.
For your cute animal fix of the day:

Débats | Points de vue
"Spring of Resistance" [March - May 2011]
"Spring of Resistance" [March - May 2011]
"Emancipation for All"
Free and emancipatory education does not only benefit students in schools and universities, but also society at large. We, groups and activists around the world on the ISM platform, say "Our Fight is Your Fight just like Your Fight is Our Fight" and call upon labour and the community at large to join in the fight students, teachers and parents are engaged in.
Massive protests were organized in various parts of the world including Austria, Bangladesh, Chile, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, not to mention South Africa, the UK, Ukraine and the U.S.A. in the past few months alone (see e.g. "Global Wave of Action for Education"). The demonstrations were not only against austerity measures that effect accessibility to education, but also to fight the increasing privatization of education, growing pressure to succeed, and a rising wave of questioning of the fundamental structures and functions of education systems.
To further the pressure locally and globally, groups, associations and individuals on the International Student Movement platform, who endorse the "International Joint Statement" came together to initiate the "Spring of Resistance" (SoR) from March to May 2011. That period will include a "Global Week of Action" (March 21-26th) as well as a "Global Day of Action" (May 2nd).
The framework of the SoR basically consists of the following three elements:
- "International Joint Statement" (consider endorsing it!)
- a united symbol (different versions are still being made)
- common slogans
Individual groups and associations will organize their own actions during this period while the ISM provides the platform and the infrastructure to coordinate the mobilization across and between the regions. The timeframe of the "Spring of Resistance" marks an opportunity to strengthen the network between groups and activists and unite worldwide for free emancipatory education for all. Various social movements can be joined by the timing as well as by the framework of the "Spring of Resistance".
In addition to sit-ins and demonstrations, events such as workshops and street theatre are planned by some to mark the resistance against the currently dominating education systems around the world. We want education for emancipation - not for profits!
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.
ISM Global: firstname.lastname@example.com (to announce actions to be listed as part of the SoR and send in reports)
ISM - North America: firstname.lastname@example.com
The following protests and events as part of the "Spring of Resistance" have been confirmed so far:
- South Africa (March 4th): Marches for Free Education organised by SASCO (South African Students Congress) in one city of all 9 provinces. For example for the Eastern Cape province a march will take place in the city of East London. => fb event page
- Manila, Philippines (March 4th): Students from different colleges and universities in Metro Manila will marched to the Commission on Higher Education to protest against tuition and other fees increase. (sent in by the League of Filipino Students - University of Manila)
- Dhaka, Bangladesh (March 22-24th): The 34th National Conference of the Bangladesh Students' Union (BSU) taking place at Dhaka University. The main focus will be the struggle against the increasing commercialisation of education.
Central America:
- Puerto Rico (March 11th): Networks of sympathizers with the ongoing student strike at the University of Puerto Rico announced that thy will stage simultaneous demonstrations in solidarity with the UPR in cities around the world, and invite all supporters to join them, coordinating their own activities in their respective towns. more details: ism-global.net and redaccion-pr.net => fb event page (spanish and english)
- France (March 25th): Students across the country will ring a buzzer during lectures at 2pm. This will be a call to Wake Up!

A civic artifact is a human-made relic/phenomenon that frames the civic in a rhetorically compelling way.
Who "made" the artifact? (You can think about this in many ways: who consumes the artifact?; who challenged a commonplace by creating the artifact?; who benefits from the artifact?, etc.)
Why was the artifact necessary? (What was/is the artifact responding to?)
Has the need for the artifact changed over time?
Does the artifact have different meanings for different groups of people?
What commonplaces are embedded in the artifact? Or, how does the artifact comment on commonplaces?
What makes the artifact "civic?" How does the artifact frame the civic?

From the book
Chapter One
Jason was going to Brain Camp. It had another name, a real name, but that's what everyone called it.
"Okay," he said, wedging a final pair of socks along the edge of his suitcase. "The list. One more time."
I picked up the piece of paper beside me. "Pens," I said. "Notebooks. Phone card. Camera battery. Vitamins."
His fingers moved across the contents of the bag, finding and identifying each item. Check and double-check. With Jason, it was always about being sure.
"Calculator." I continued, "Laptop. . . ."
"Stop," he said, putting up his hand. He walked over to his desk, unzipping the slim black bag there, then nodded at me. "Skip down to list number two."
I scanned down the page, found the words LAPTOP (CASE), and cleared my throat. "Blank CDs," I said. "Surge protector. Headphones. . . ."
By the time we'd covered that, then finished the main list—stopping to cover two other sub-headings, TOILETRIES and MISCELLANEOUS—Jason seemed pretty much convinced he had everything. Which did not, however, stop him from continuing to circle the room, mumbling to himself. It took a lot of work to be perfect. If you didn't want to break a sweat, there was no point in even bothering.
Jason knew perfect. Unlike most people, for him it wasn't some distant horizon. For Jason, perfect was just over the next hill, close enough to make out the landscape. And it wasn't a place he would just visit. He was going to live there.
He was the all-state math champ, head of the debate team, holder of the highest GPA in the history of our high school (he'd been taking AP classes since seventh grade, college sections since tenth), student council president two years running, responsible for an innovative school recycling program now implemented in districts around the country, fluent in Spanish and French. But it wasn't just about academics. Jason was also a vegan and had spent the past summer building houses for Habitat for Humanity. He practiced yoga, visited his grandmother in her rest home every other Sunday, and had a pen pal from Nigeria he'd been corresponding with since he was eight years old. Anything he did, he did well.
A lot of people might find this annoying, even loathsome. But not me. He was just what I needed.
I had known this from the first day we met, in English class sophomore year. We'd been put into groups to do an assignment on Macbeth, me and Jason and a girl named Amy Richmond who, after we pulled our desks together, promptly announced she was "no good at this Shakespeare crap" and put her head down on her backpack. A second later, she was sound asleep.
Jason just looked at her. "Well," he said, opening his textbook, "I guess we should get started."
This was right after everything happened, and I was in a silent phase. Words weren't coming to me well; in fact I had trouble even recognizing them sometimes, entire sentences seeming like they were another language, or backwards, as my eyes moved across them. Just printing my own name on the top of a page a few days previously, I'd second-guessed the letters and their order, not even sure of that anymore.
So of course Macbeth had totally mystified me. I'd spent the entire weekend struggling with the antiquated language and weird names of the characters, unable to even figure out the most basic aspects of the story. I opened my book, staring down at the lines of dialogue: Had I but died an hour before this chance/I had liv'd a blessed time; for, from this instant,/ there's nothing serious in mortality:/all is but toys.
Nope, I thought. Nothing.
Lucky for me, Jason, who...
- laurak - I read this book while we're doing a hero book project, which is finding a book that has an everyday hero in ti. In this book, there are different heroes if you stand in different character's perspectives. From Macy's perspective, the friends she met during her caterer job were her heroes, because they helped her to get rid of that perfect but boring life. From Macy's mother's perspective, her daughters and crews are her heroes, because they helped her get over the grieve of husband's death. I really like this book because the words are very vernacular, but can be able to convey author's thoughts. Also, it contains a lot of humour in it which I love it, talked about high school life that I admire. It also described how a girl can overcome the pressure of her boyfriend, SAT scores, strict mom, which I might face in the future.
May 3, 2004
In this contemporary romance, Dessen (This Lullaby
) gracefully balances comedy with tragedy and introduces a complex heroine worth getting to know. While recovering from her father's sudden death, Macy clings to things that are safe and predictable, notably her brilliant, oh-so-steady boyfriend Jason. ("Anything he did, he did well," Macy explains. "A lot of people might find this annoying, even loathsome. But not me. He was just what I needed.") When Jason goes off to "Brain Camp" for the summer and announces (via e-mail) that he wants to put their relationship on hold, Macy must find happiness and reassurance on her own. Much to her sensible mother's dismay, Macy impulsively takes a job at a disorganized catering company, working for very pregnant Delia, a woman who thrives on chaos. As a caterer's assistant, Macy endures flying meatballs, spilt wine, irate clients, inebriated guests and, at the same time, feels more alive than she has since her father's death—especially when she's around Wes, the sensitive, artistic bartender who seems to understand Macy better than anyone else. On one level, the novel traces the growing intimacy between Macy and Wes; on another, it examines the healing process as Macy allows herself to grieve. Readers will cheer Macy on as she tentatively reenters the world of the living by taking risks and relearning how to act spontaneously, embracing change rather than avoiding it. Ages 12-up.

Pitbulls are great dogs, but the term "pit bull" is used referring to several breeds, including the American Staffordshire terrier and the Staffordshire bull terrier, recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), and the American pit bull terrier, recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC).
Even the term "blue nose" is found on many Internet listings, these dogs are not bred by colour. It means there are only pitbulls of various colours, quality and markings.
Dogs called blue pitbuuls have a recessive dillution gene that turns their coat into a beautiful color. But these dogs are born this way, they don't grow into their colour. Their eyes are rather light, but not always blue.
Blue pitbulls' head is one of the most defining features of the breed. It should be large, strong but still not disproportionate to their body. Their ears can eb or not cropped, and if they're cropped, it should be in a short manner.
These dogs are usually big, weighing approximately 70 pounds. Additionally, pitbulls have a muscular body, a lot of energy, are playful, speed are agile and have a great physical power.
Nonetheless, temperament is the most important feature of pit bulls. They are courageous, loyal, friendly and people-oriented. Unfortunately, in the recent years, this breed has been linked to dog fighting and violence, so its reputation has been affected. In some areas, it's illegal to be the owner of a pitbull. Let's hope that in the near future, their reputation will be improved.

Fans of the book series and TV show Game of Thrones have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Season 6 particularly since it was revealed that the TV show plot will significantly deviate from the books. Fizzdot puts you up to speed with the latest news on the show and why we think it's worth watching!
NEED TO KNOW: The show is set to return on April 24.
What is Game of Thrones About?
For those of you who don't watch it here's a bit of background and why you should be hitting Netflix to catch up!
Now entering its 6th season, Game of Thrones is about the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos with a large ensemble cast. The same is true for the book series it is based on written by George R.R. Martin. The books and the TV series take readers and viewers on epic journeys into the wars and battles between noble families in a fight to reclaim their thrones. There is much fantasy and nail-biting adventure with gritty, interesting characters and a twisting plot.
What are the Highlights for Season 6?
It's an exciting season for Game of Thrones and people are already talking about the controversial decision to depart from the plot in the original books. That's because the original book series written by George R.R. Martin is running behind the screen-version. This doesn't mean it has to be full of spoilers though and according to the showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss they are purposefully giving a different version of event s to keep the books exciting when they do get published. They promise big surprises in the amazing world created by George R.R. Martin so that now fans can see different versions of events in this fantastical world. It sounds like good news for superfans of the books and the TV series. So fear not, it's not set out to spoil the books but rather compliment them so that the marvelous adventures can continue.
Returning character, Sansa Stark is set to make a dramatic turnaround this season. It was revealed in Entertainment Weekly by Sophie Turner, the actress who plays Sansa in the series, that she will finally be standing up for herself. Season 6 will see Sansa become a leader and take on an empowered role since her escape from the evil clutches of the Bolton family last season. It's hinted that she might even be getting some much deserved revenge on those who have wronged her in the past!
Who are the Stars?
As well as the return of many of the large ensemble cast you can expect to see new characters in Season Six. the fact that Thrones loves to expand and kill off its large ensemble cast, each new season promises a variety of additions into the wonderful world of Westeros. Season 6 showcases some of the biggest and best casting to date.However, due Here's our pick of who to look out for from big names to some cool newbies.
Freddie Storma I Dicken Tarley
Storma has starred in a variety of films and TV shows but it is his role as Cormac McLaggen, in the Harry Potter film series where he plays Hermione's love interest and Gryffindor Quidditch keeper. He plays the role of Dicken Tarley, younger brother to Samwell in Season 6 and described as the son that Randyll Tarly always wanted and that Samwell has not lived up to. He's going to be doing a lot of action stuff as the hunter and swordsman of the family. We are set to meet more of Samwell's family in Season 6 so watch out!
Richard E. Grant I Character yet to be named
Grant is one of the big guns of theater, film and tv and has been around since the 1980s. He is set to play an actor and manager of a theater troupe in Braavos, and is associated with Arya's storyline, and isn't particularly kind to his fellow actors off-stage. They'll be putting on a show-within-the show, and it seems as though Grant could be a version of Izembaro, otherwise known as King of the Mummers. He is an associate of the Faceless Men, and plays King Robert Baratheon in the play. Reports suggest that he'll be around for three episodes in season 6.
Essie Davis I Cersei Lannister
Davis is an Australian actress with her first major role in The Matrix Reloaded. However it is her character in The Babdook that many will know her from.
She was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Empire Awards, and Best Actress by the US Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. Davis will be starring alongside Richard E. Grant in the 'play within the show.' Her character apparently likes to drink rum and has been revealed to be fun and charismatic.
Rebecca Benson I Talla Tarly
She's a relative newbie only graduating from Drama School in Scotland recently.Her role as Talla Tarly is the sister of Samwell Tarly. She's described as very similar to her brother so viewers are sure to fall in love with her too.
Dean S. Jagger I Smalljon Umber
Jagger will be one of many new British acting talents to feature on Game of Thrones. The character of Northern Lord, Smalljon Umber. Despite the name Smalljon, he's a huge man with 'a hatred that runs deep'. He is also the son of Greatjon Umber who was taken captive at the Red Wedding.
Joe Naufahu I Khal Jhaqo
Naufahu has previously appeared in historical drama with a role in Spartacus: War Of The Damned back in 2012. He will play Khal Jhaqo, a character that has featured in the books and is staying around for longer than one episode. Let's hope he doesn't get killed off although on this show, the odds are against you!
TRIVIA TREAT: Where is Game of Thrones Filmed?
Game of Thrones is filmed on location and in studios located in Belfast, Ireland. On location you can expect to see the stunning scenery of Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Spain, Scotland and the United States.

After the end of a long-running civil war and the beginning of a fresh government, Sri Lanka's market offers both opportunities and pitfalls for investors.
The market certainly has its boosters. Dumith Fernando, executive chairman at Sri Lanka brokerage Asia Securities, highlighted the positives.
"You're talking about 5-6 percent economic growth, fairly robust earnings growth and in that context, right now the forward price-to-earnings multiples are under 10 times," he says. "That's cheaper than most of the frontier markets in Asia and emerging markets in Asia."
The market has had a tough year - the Colombo Stock Exchange All-Share index is down more than 7 percent so far this year, although it's tacked on around 5 percent so far this month.
On a one-year horizon, Fernando expects some of his top picks could garner total returns ranging from 25 percent to 60 percent. Fernando is particularly positive on the outlook for the construction sector, noting one of his top picks is Access Engineering.

I heard an intuitive explanation about what is going on with inflation induced perturbations that I enjoy:
During inflation, the spacetime is expanding at an exponential rate (faster then the speed of light) driven by quantum fields. These quantum fields are in some sense conveying information to the spacetime which reacts by expanding exponentially.
However, when the inflation field(s) turn off, that new information is communicated to the expanding spacetime with an amount of uncertainty that matches Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Given this "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle's" amount of uncertainty in knowing when to stop, some points in space stop inflating slightly differently than others.
If you do the math, this uncertainty should lead to fluctuations in the spacetime on the order of one part in 10^5, which is exactly what we see. (Go inflation getting another prediction right again!)
(If the above words made no sense), look at the picture. (The picture is technically of something else, but it should get the job done.) Each slice can be thought of as a patch inflating bigger and bigger. Soon the quantum fields tell the spacetime to stop inflating. Given there is some quantum uncertainty in this command, different regions stop inflating at slightly different times leading to the noticeable fluctuations in spacetime seen at the top.

LOST Eyelander
You see, I don't watch tv much at all (in fact I don't have one that works) but I'd heard so much about LOST that I'd checked it out on Hulu & I was seriously hooked! How's that for an amazing coincidence? I thought it was downright LOSTworthy!
The LOST Underground Art Project at Gallery 1988 in LA. 15 through 24 December 2009. Acrylic, text, maps & gold leaf on resin statue (statue provided by the gallery). (A news report on the show.) SOLD
Please click to see details, & forgive the focus issues... it's hard to get a good scan of a 3d object! p.s. This is just one statue-- the four views are so you can see all the details.
EDIT: For those who are coming here in 2012 from Illustration Friday, the show is long past, but I couldn't resist posting this for the LOST prompt!

Thanks so much, folks. It really was exciting to be a part of this.
Andrew, thank you, but I should clarify that I did not mold the figure-- it was provided as a blank by the gallery for customizing by various artists. I've done very little sculpting & certainly wouldn't know how to make this from scratch!

YOUNGSTERS in Bangladesh are to receive support during a week-long visit by volunteers helping a charity improve education in impoverished schools.
Marketing manager Sarah Noel-Tod, 28, from The Student Support Centre, in Church Avenue, Beckenham and her colleague Darren Tye, 41, took textbooks and other resources when they left for Nalitabari, a remote part of Northern Bangladesh, on Sunday.
The pair will be accompanied by representatives from the charity World Vision and a film crew as they tour local schools and talk to teachers. Sarah said: "It's been a complete rollercoaster trying to get ready for a trip and I am really excited".
"Although I have worked with charities overseas before I have never been to Bangladesh so this will be a steep learning curve. I can't wait."
She added: "As well as meeting some of the children that we sponsor we will be speaking to parents at primary and secondary schools-we want to bring them up to speed."

Hello, all. This is only about the fifth time I have uploaded pictures for comments. I am still very new to photography, but I am learning by leaps and bounds by doing lots of reading and experimenting. One thing I like to do when it is high noon and the the light is generally bad for regular shooting, I like to use my infrared converted camera because the light is just right. Anyway, I have been doing mostly IR landscape, but have been also trying some portraiture. With three kids under 5 years old I also have a hard time finding time to shoot. So, I am usually shooting on the fly, messing with settings when a hand is free.
I would love some comments and criticisms for these two shots. The only adjustments I did from the RAW file was swap the blue and red channels (standard for IR photos) and dodge some unsightly highlights. Thanks for your help!

Propositions.... And please comment!
Proposition 1:
I think we should have a manly Monday. Wherein, the title of your post could be either "manly Monday" or "A weird little glimpse into my marriage".
This would be a chance for us to get a clearer view into your husband, and a glimpse into your weird little marriage.
In regards to husbands:
"His sperm count is ..." UNACCEPTABLE.
"He works here..." "He is obsessed with this movie..." "He wears boxers when he sleeps" etc. etc.
In regards to marriage:
"We eat dinner every night around 6 at the kitchen table". UNACCEPTABLE.
"He farts in his sleep" "He likes it when I slap his ass in the bedroom" ACCEPTABLE.
Who's in? On Monday at the end of my post I'll put up links to other participants.
Proposition 2:
Changing "Secret Sunday" to a monthly occurence (last Sunday of the month) and choosing a theme for those secrets.
For example, this month's theme will be "SEX". So this will give you, regular readers, first time readers, lurkers, pleeeenty of chance to come up with one.
Future theme possibilities:
Gross things I've done
Secrets of other people (that I can now share anonymously)
Fertility related secrets
My husband's secrets
A bad thing you did back in HS or JHS.
And I would totally love to hear your other ideas! They don't have to just be funny or sexy categories - we could get serious with it, if we want. Thoughts? Opinions? Concerns?
25 comments:
I am so totally going to do Manly Monday! I'm already composing in my head an acceptable post.ReplyDelete
I agree with moving Secret Sunday to once a month. A theme would also be helpful. May I suggest a theme surrounding stupid things we did in college? Or perhaps embarassing moments at work? I know that my creativity simply blows your mind so I will stop there.
Bring on the weird marriage glimpses!
Count me in for both, I find Kitt utterly fascinating so why wouldn't everyone else and I am sure I can dig another sex confession out from some corner or other.ReplyDelete
I like the theme secrets too..reading your themes made me think of one already!ReplyDelete
I'm voting for Prop 1 and I'll try to come up with some more for Prop 2 although I don't have very many secrets. I am sure I can dig one up once a month!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 8, 2012 at 5:43 AM
Great ideas!! Heck yeah!ReplyDelete
I'm terrible at coming up with themes for secrets. I'm curious to see what people say. Maybe stupid things you did while drunk, work-related secrets, definitely sexy secrets. Maybe for the serious side - political views, moral values, or things you believe in that might be different from others? People might not post openly about that kind of stuff.

Yeap I'm down for both.ReplyDelete
Proposition 1: Check...I'm inReplyDelete
Proposition 2: Check...I'm in...
And now for something really exciting...oh wait...I'll have to wait until Monday....
I love your propositions, especially #2. I don't think I would participate in #1 because my hubby is very private and my blog is shared with some of our family and friends. He would be mortified for me to share anything that was overly personal about him. Although, I would get a kick out of it. ;)ReplyDelete
Love it. I'm in.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 8, 2012 at 8:12 AM
Sounds good to me! Maybe I can actually get brave enough to share a secret.ReplyDelete
I'm in on manly Monday!ReplyDelete
Love the ideas. I'll have to think about joining manly Monday...just like sams my hubby is more on the private end and I'm not sure if he'd like posts highlighting him. I'll see if I can talk him into it! ;)ReplyDelete
I'm in for both! I was going to do the "glimpse into my marriage" anyway today, but I'm glad I have an excuse to wait (he has been annoying today).ReplyDelete
I might actually send a secret if I had a theme to narrow it down. Me likey. And um...I don't have a blog so I can't comment on Prop 1. But I would certainly enjoy reading that ;)ReplyDelete
Manly Monday ... love. I'm sure there's more to my husband than his sperm count; I'll wrack my brains for the first entry in this series.ReplyDelete
I like the themed secrets idea - perhaps having a prompt will inspire me to think of one after just giggling at all of yours for the last month or so!
Hey there. I just hopped over from EmHart's blog...I would like to participate in both :)Consider me de-lurked!ReplyDeleteReplies
Lurker... Lurker!!!Delete
Well, all over the blogs I read, I'm seeing "Manly Monday" and I decided it wise if I finally popped over to see what all this fuss was about it. And I love both props! Not sure I actually have the time to do a post about my man today...will this be a one-time or weekly thing? But I'm definitely in for Prop #2. How fun!ReplyDeleteReplies
Well helllooooooo!Delete
I'm thinking we should throw it in every once in awhile. While I love that we have so much info on the innerworkings of each other's partners balls, I'm thinking a dash here and there of 'other' would be lovely (but I still want the ball info, too).
Well I'm behind already. But I'm in for both! I need to start creating new secrets....ReplyDelete
I love to talk about my man and my marriage.
Sounds like a really fun idea.ReplyDelete

SPEAKING OUT: Steve Harvey
SNOOP DOGG has come under fire recently, after his appearance in BADBADNOTGOOD's "Lavender" video, in which he shot a Donald Trump impersonator with a toy gun.
The video caused controversy, with Fox host, Kimberly Guilfoyle saying Snoop Dogg should be killed for the video, while Bow Wow and T.I. took to social media to defend the iconic rapper.
One of the many people who've decided to speak out in support of Trump is Steve Harvey, who shared his thoughts on how musicians should conduct themselves under a Trump administration.
Harvey stated that the president should be respected and advises rappers to "be smart with what you say."
The Family Feud host also addressed the sexist comments Bow Wow made towards Melanina Trump, saying that whatever issues he has with the president, the rapper should leave leave Trump's wife out of it.
"You got money and they know how to go after that money. Just be smart, handle your business. Let me tell ya man, leave the first lady out of this. Y'all going down another path with these cats now. You start messing with they wives…I'll tell y'all you going down another path," Harvey said.


text: Okay, my friends. One of my favorite little farms to buy from, Natchwoolie, is experiencing a really bad drought, and the well has run dry! They've been bringing in water every couple of days, using it for the animals and them selves. The cost of getting rural water hook up is high, but there's no way for them to save, given that they spend up to 150$ on fuel and water purchase per week. So she's set up a fundraiser, which you can find here. I've given a little bit, 10$. If you could even donate 5$, it would be wonderfully apreciated. Please at least have a look, and see if you can help out a wonderful farm full of wonderful animals, and wonderful people!
