Welcome to the Nikwax WebQuiz
Spring is here, so it's time to switch to your lighter cotton garments. Ensure you're prepared by proofing your gear with Nikwax Cotton Proof. Play our WebQuiz for your free sachet!
The rules How to Play Send this page to a friend
Nikwax Cotton ProofDuring spring, cotton and cotton-mix garments are a favoured choice of clothing for outdoor lovers. However, cotton is really absorbent, so if caught in a spring shower you could find yourself weighed down by cold, wet, heavy fabric. This can cause restricted movement and will reduce your garment's breathability.
Nikwax Cotton Proof adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to the fabric fibres of cotton, polycotton and canvas, whilst still allowing moisture to pass through it, optimising breathability. Our latest formulation is 3x more concentrated, giving you better performance and great value for money! For best results, we recommend cleaning items first with Nikwax Tech Wash in a separate wash cycle.
Nikwax Cotton Proof is also great for use on cotton or canvas equipment, such as rucksacks, tents and awnings.

While race results are the most obvious signs of Central Catholic's success. The success of our graduates at nationally recognized collegiate rowing programs is another indicator. Most importantly, however, the continuing growth of the roster confirms the value of the experience to Central Catholic students.
Coaching Philosophy
Rowing promotes team work and rewards self-discipline and individual hard work. Our coaching staff has a well-defined standard operating procedure both on the water and around the boathouse. This structured approach instills discipline, ensures safety and enhances performance during races. Our annual schedule, rowing technique model and physical training plan are based on best practices found in competitive collegiate and international rowing programs. In addition to hiring the best coaches available, we give them the tools they need to fully develop the team and each athlete.
Jay Hammond, head coach
Jay continues to get out on the water in a single scull and occasionally enters rowing races at the request of other "has-beens" looking for an extra body to fill out a heavyweight eight.
|Aaron Lucia '06, novice coach
Aaron started rowing in the spring of his sophomore year. As a junior and senior he was a member of Central's First Varsity boat. In 2006, Aaron rowed 5-seat for the first Central crew (and first crew from Western PA) to win the Varsity Boys 8+ event at Midwest Scholastic Championships. Aaron joined the Central coaching staff in the 2007- 2008 season, after rowing at Syracuse in the first frosh. Aaron was technique coach for the first two Midwest Champion freshman crews from Central. As Head Novice Coach, the CCHS frosh have returned to the Midwest podium, as well as earned a bronze medal at the Scholastic Rowing Association of America's National Championship Regatta - with multiple bids in the final at nationals.
The staff also includes a number of volunteer coaches who assist the regular coaching staff from time to time.

So the pendulum action you are referring to is a rotation of the wrist around the axis going through the forarm, and not around the axis perpendicular to that going through the wrist (i.e. from thumb to little finger)?
Because if the latter, the pendulum action would be in the plane of the swing path which is mostly in the horizontal plane, and more so when the player meets the ball higher in the bounce. This means gravity, and hence g, would only play a small role in the pendulum action and g would need to be replaced by a, the accelleration of the racket arm executed by the player.
If the pendulum action you're referring to is a rotation around the forearm axis, as in the modern 'windscreen-wiper' stroke, it would be perpendicular to the plane of the swing path and therefore mostly in the vertical plane. Then gravity does play a role, but not exclusively. When you rotate your forearm to bring the rackethead up during the take-back, you store energy in the forearm by twisting the radius and ulna bones relative to each other. When you then bring arm foreward during the stroke, the radius and ulna are forced back into their original position, releasing this stored energy into a rotation of the wrist and, hence, the racket. This rotational force therefore also affects the pendulum action around the wrist, as well as gravity, creating an angular accelleration on top of g.
Shouldn't this also be accounted for in your formula? How would this affect your conclusions?
This has nothing to do with windshield wiping.
If you look at the slo-mo vids I posted earlier in this thread of Del Potro and Gonzalez hitting forehands, you can see that the racquethead typically drops from about 7 ft high to about 3 feet high before rising again toward the ball. During the portion of the stroke where the racquethead is dropping those 4 feet, the player does not need to exert much force to accelerate the racquet. Rather, it is gravity plus centripetal acceleration that accelerate the racquet (it matters little that the plane of the swing is not vertical, as long as there is a significant vertical component to the motion). In other words, the motion of the racquet still obeys the physics of a mechanical double pendulum even though the plane of the swing is only partly in the vertical plane.
Only after the racquethead reaches the bottom of the stroke does the player need to apply significant force to keep the racquet moving. This is because the racquet naturally accelerates during the downward part of the stroke (which is mainly gravity powered). But on the upward part of the stroke, the player must apply force to counter the deceleration caused by gravity. I believe that your body naturally senses the inflection point at the bottom of the swing when the motion of the pendulum sweep of your arm switches from acceleration to deceleration, triggering you to begin applying pressure on the handle to keep the racquet moving.
As Corners has mentioned earlier, Rod Cross published an article in 2009 in the American Journal of Physics, showing that the swing of a baseball bat can be modeled as a double pendulum, and that the player must actually apply a reverse-direction couple just before the moment of impact, otherwise the bat pivots too fast from the wrist, causing timing errors. In other words, MgR/I for the baseball bat was too high.

Sky News Arabia Puts Blackmagic Design At the Heart of Skynet Initiative
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 24 March 2014 Release date- 24032014 - Manchester, UK - Blackmagic Design today announced that Sky News Arabia, the Arabic language 24 hour breaking news broadcaster, has launched The Content Hub, a new virtual production, transmission (TX) and playout environment, equipped with broadcast infrastructure from Blackmagic Design, including the ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher, Compact Videohub and UltraStudio 4K.
Engineers for the Skynet project have built in high levels of redundancy across every aspect of the new virtual studio workflow. 40 x 40 Compact Videohub routers handle signal distribution for The Content Hub while separate 16 x 16 Micro Videohubs are responsible for monitoring. The smaller router handles multiview outputs from the vision mixers and other sources while also feeding streaming encoders.
Receiving feeds from studios and live positions around the world, Sky News Arabia routes those signals via the Compact Videohub to the ATEM 2 M/E Production Switchers where the show is crafted. A second ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher is used for adding graphics. Four UltraStudio 4K I/O devices are connected to Mac Minis in the studio outputting Internet based programs.
Using the ATEM's SDK, Sky News Arabia's developers have built a custom control system and graphical user interface (GUI) for the system providing a simple, user friendly interface that manages the multiple devices, redundancy and system flexibility. Each component in the workflow has a mirrored counterpart, which means operators can lose either and remain on air uninterrupted.
'The system we've developed allows multiple workflows incorporating two or more of every component; so that's two Compact Videohub routers feeding four ATEM 2 M/E Production Switchers,' explains Dave Mace, Project Manager for Sky News Arabia. 'However, the custom GUI means operators only see this as one system regardless of what is actually controlled to achieve their objective. If any components should fail, the GUI automatically detects this and changes what is available within the user interface.' Dominic Baillie, CTO for Sky News Arabia adds: 'Our in house development team worked closely with Blackmagic's developers to get the GUI operating how we wanted it. Having the SDK available was a massive selling point when it came to choosing Blackmagic Design. The solution offers the perfect mix of high redundancy and broadcast quality output in flexible and extremely easy to use systems. We opted to go with Blackmagic's ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher because it was rich in features, reasonably priced and we had access to the SDK. This afforded us a higher degree of flexibility when it came to developing the virtual studio.' Press Photography Product photos of the ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher, Compact Videohub, and UltraStudio 4K are available at www.blackmagicdesign.com/press/images About Blackmagic Design Blackmagic Design creates the world's highest quality video editing products, digital film cameras, color correctors, video converters, video monitoring, routers, live production switchers, disk recorders, waveform monitors and film restoration software for the feature film, post production and television broadcast industries. Blackmagic Design's DeckLink capture cards launched a revolution in quality and affordability, while the company's Emmy award winning DaVinci color correction products have dominated the television and film industry since 1984.

SEC's Levitt "Gravely Concerned" Over Auditor Roles
Addressing a blue ribbon panel [2] investigating the effectiveness of audits, Levitt sharply criticized auditors as playing a major role in the disturbing trend of company's "managing" their earnings.
Mr. Levitt criticized the Big Five accounting firms for distancing themselves from the very audits that they increasingly use to cross-sell their consulting services, as they now "think of themselves as 'multi-disciplinary organizations.' " He said he has "grave concerns" that the audit process "may be diminished, perhaps even sacrificed in the name of more financial and commercial opportunities."
Mr. Levitt further questioned the ability of the profession to regulate itself, and suggested that all the regulatory bodies are "stacked with accountants" making it difficult to address the issues. He further questioned the ability of the AICPA [3] to effectively oversee the audit problems at the Big 5 firms, because of the large number of small firms that are representative of the membership.
AICPA repesentatives responded that none of the members of the Public Oversight Board come from auditing firms, and added that even with high profile audit failures, the profession boasts a 99.7% success rate with public audits. "It's not news when 1000 airplanes land safely every day," says AICPA President Barry Melancon.

99% Attitude
11th November 11
Posted in culture
Author: Nicky Vita (@stellavita), Strategy Director, BBH London
A few weeks ago, I was at the Temple Synagogue in Krakow's historical Jewish district, Kazimeirz. It was the closing night for Unsound, an avant-garde music festival with the central theme of "Future Shock".
As a whole, Unsound deliberately defies expectations – about how music should sound, how music genres should/ shouldn't fit together, who should be collaborating, whom we expect to create modern music or art and even what 'modern music' actually means.
This – along with the music – got me thinking about a project I've been working on for client of ours, around 'the lofty subject of human progress' and what this means today. In a recent international survey, 96% of respondents agreed that'It is important for me to continually improve as a person'. Ordinary people wanting to do extraordinary things.
While the desire to move forward is not new, the context or the approach required to achieve this has shifted radically. In the past, the key ingredients were focus, stamina and the wherewithal to keep slogging until the finish line. Tow the line.
And now? Well, there may not be a clearly defined 'there' or final end goal. There are fewer linear paths, one-way ladders and singular directions. The "tried & trusted" is no longer appropriate and all the rulebooks have been ripped up. Seemingly more than ever, people want to advance themselves. Technology is an especially great enabler. However, what you actually need to do to achieve this progress is less clear than ever before.
At a global level, this thought is either hugely terrifying or massively exciting. And what emerges is that the key to 'success' today is having the right attitude. Glancing at modern role models and entrepreneurs across the world, it isattitude that they have in common. No rules means you can try anything, explore everything, break things up and put them together in completely different ways.
Much of what I saw at Unsound reflected this attitude, so I thought I'd outline a few underlining principles for progressing in today's modern world…
Retain a youthful mindset.
1960s pioneer Morton Subotnick & 1980s synth performers Chris & Cosey (ex-Throbbing Gristle) belonged at the festival as much as young, incoming acts such as Pontone (Poland) and Laurel Halo (USA). Curiosity, creativity and experimentation do not age.
Keep it open.
Music genres don't sit in boxes. Or rather, amazing things can happen when you don't assume that they should. Hype Williams threw together R & B, techno and dark ambient, coupled with constant strobe lights, to create a visceral, challenging performance. Trying different things and putting them together in unusual ways can create something special.
Lantern Awareness.
A wonderful term I picked up from Google's Tom Uglow a while ago, speaking passionately about the wonderful things that could happen if we stopped focusing & opened up our awareness to the things going on around us. Every artist had taken a deliberate step away from his or her known individual sound and had nicked, borrowed or repurposed from the experiences around them. To capture this spirit, we've created team 'Lantern Sessions', as simple as a quick chat about the things that are exciting us or a good excuse to get out of the office and to an exhibition. Less focus creates more enhanced encounters.
Be bold.
With experimentation and exploration comes inherent risk. Some of what I saw and heard was massively improvised. Leyland Kirby's mad video of his life on the road, wrapped up by a mimed rendition of Elton John's 'Can you feel the love tonight?" could have gone horribly wrong. It didn't. Trying new things means allowing yourself to be at least a little open to potential failure.
Live in the moment.
For me, the entire festival was an immersive, immediate experience. This may sound obvious (being a music festival), but I came back feeling more excited about life because I'd allowed myself to be completely absorbed in an experience. If everyone there came away with this same feeling, you can feel confident that this will soon be manifested in a future performance, track or video. Soak up every encounter.
Go with your gut.
Everyone at Unsound was passionate about music. Not in a rational 'let's think about why this works' way. It was much more of an emotional 'how the music makes you feel' way. Things were being put together in ways that were intuitive and based on gut impulses. Great things can happen when you go with the rhyme instead of the reason.
It's about substance.
There were few 'big names' and while many of the artists were successful in their own right, at Unsound they were respected for their spirit, energy & experimentation in the moment. What you do matters more than what you have.
Act like an entrepreneur.
What makes an entrepreneur great is a bit of charisma. While many artists were there to perform, they were also there to create opportunities for future collaborations & endeavours, to show a difference side to themselves. Curiosity and a 'can do, will do' attitude is what made them interesting. Not so difficult is it?
The closing down party…
None of this might strike you as particularly groundbreaking. Steve Jobs spoke openly about the importance of connections, of being allowed to fail, of the opportunities that come up when you've tried different things. Einstein believed in experimentation and playfulness. Tom Uglow wondered what could happen if we all quit our jobs, played more and got closer to the edges. What is striking for me is that this attitude is shifting the way people think about progress at a universal level. This is not about the super elite, the super eclectic, the technologists at Google or Facebook or Labs, even. Sure, I am referencing some edgy artists, playing at a festival you've never have heard of. But we're also talking about ordinary people wanting to apply this attitude to create extraordinary things.
I think it's tremendously exhilarating. Can you even begin to imagine the great things that would happen, the progress that would come about if we all lived this way?

It's looking to be a lot of fun. It looks like we're at capacity, with a heavy waitlist – but there is still one way to get in. We've still got space for a few micro-stories: that is, tales of five minutes instead of ten. So, if you have any internet incidents that you think might amuse and enthrall and you want to come, drop me an email at email@example.com in the next few days.
And if you just can't make it but want to tune in, watch this space – we'll try to get a stream up and running on the night, right here.
Until then,
Tech interns, we need you.
28th October 11
Authors: Gabor Szalatnyai (Creative Technology) & James Mitchell (Strategy), BBH London & BBH Labs
Here at Labs, we make a lot of stuff for other people and brands, but, now and then, we like to build experiments – additional stuff we love so much, we take extra time and pull late nights to see it done. We do this because sometimes, we want to test a theory, because we want to test our capabilities, and because we want to make something cool.
With one very special project, we're ready to begin the making and we're going to spend the next three months doing just that. Which is why we we'd like some inspirational new talent to come and intern with us in London to help out. We are embarking on a project with Rails and MongoDB on the backend and HTML5 on the front. We would expect you to have previous projects using these, and if you are confident with CoffeeScript, Sass and Javascript game engines (craftyjs, gameQuery, renderEngine,) you'll enjoy the coding even more. We are managing source code with git on GitHub, so prepare your branching and merging skills too!
But this role is about more than the build. We'll work iteratively on this, so we'll be testing and learning as we go. This means you'll be working with the team to prototype, test, bend and break – modifying and bettering the experiment at every stage. We'll expect you to have a major impact on the idea itself. You'll have the freedom to implement any technical solution that solves the problem, to work with the entire team to make sure the thing doesn't just happen, but happens better.
Why work with us? Because we hope you'll agree the project is cool, the team is a diverse and interesting one, and the use of data is, as far as we know, something that's never been tried before. And, at the end of it all, you'll get to put your name against something very special.
To apply, please send a nice message (with your GitHub username and/or some work) to **firstname.lastname@example.com**, and we'll have a chat about what we're trying to build. If you have any more questions, drop them in the comments. Thanks!
Internet Trends – Mary Meeker's 2011 report
21st October 11
Author: Adam Powers, Head of UX, BBH London
This week ex-Morgan Stanley research analyst, now at KPCB, Mary Meeker delivered her latest Internet Trends presentation. As always, Mary's distillation of trends is always good value and genuine insights are peppered throughout.
For the time starved amongst you, here are some highlights:
World view:
• Though still with some ground to make up, it's striking the number of Chinese and Russian internet companies popping into the global top 25.
• What's more, between 2007 and 2010 China accumulated 246million new internet users – that is more than exist within the USA.
Mobilising the people:
• Mary notes that even in recessionary times breakthrough technology and services can breakout. One need only look at the extraordinary first weekend sales of Apple's iPhone 4S to confirm this.
• 2010 QTR 4 saw more mobile devices (which includes Tablets) sold than PCs and signs that Smartphone sales outstripping feature phone sales in US/EU
• That said. still enormous unconverted user base with 835 million Smartphone users against 5.6 billion mobile device subscribers.
• Apple getting plenty of headlines right now, but it's Android mobile devices with the remarkable quarter on quarter ramp up – jumping from 20million to 150million units shipped in between quarters 7 and 11 post-launch.
• Global mobile success story continues with app/ad revenue up by a factor of 17 between 2008 and 2011 to a figure of $12billion.
Touchy, feely:
• Meeker calls out the latest trend in the evolution of human computer interaction being from text command lines to graphical user interfaces (GUI) to natural user interfaces. Yes, Steve gets a name check too.
Cash is no longer king?:
• E-commerce story continues to be one of growth through tough economic times but plenty of room to grow.
• Again the big story is growth in mobile commerce with ebay and PayPal doubling or more their gross mobile sales/payments since 2010.
• The uplift in mobile e-commerce activity has been of particularly benefit to local commerce through the plethora of location aware discount offer aggregators.
Power to the people:
• Meeker identifies overarching mega-trend as the empowerment of people via connected devices.
• She references the Twitter traffic patterns post Japanese earthquake, the fact that 200million Indian farmers currently receive government subsidy payments via mobile devices and 85% of global population are now covered by commercial wireless signals versus 80% being on electricity grid.
Google #Firestarters 3: Building A New Agency OS
30th September 11
Posted in transformational change
For the third event in the Google #Firestarters series its curator extraordinaire, Neil Perkin, chose to tackle the issues of "legacy structures, processes and thinking" head-on with the question: "what might the operating system for the agency of the future look like?".
It's a hairy, humbling monster of a question, not least because talk of new agency structures and ways of working so often teeters precariously on the edge of empty buzzword bingo (check out Tim Malbon's post last year on Agile as a cargo cult).
On Tuesday night, Martin Bailie, James Caig and I were given 20 minutes to share a response. I attempted to avoid painting a picture of an agency built of silicon, and instead set out to describe something rather more prosaic. These days, perhaps more than ever, agencies are almost ALL about culture; their operating system a set of programs designed to encourage creativity and responsive behaviour, not codify inflexible structures and processes. Get the culture right and the rest follows. So the question becomes: what sort of agency culture do you want to create or be a part of? And what about all the contextual stuff we perhaps need to consider first?
A simple take on the impact of technology
We've known for years that the opportunities to buy mass attention are shrinking by the day, just as the opportunities to earn and measure attention become ever more enticingly available. If today Google's Panda algorithm places ever more pressure on businesses to boost the signal not increase the noise and Facebook's EdgeRank reduces the visibility of brands that send users to sleep, imagine what this will be like in future. At its simplest, it adds up to the same thing: ALL marketing – not just the rare handful of brands that regularly win awards – needs to be *genuinely* useful or entertaining. If not, marketing will become that thing that marketers and agencies fear the most: unseen and unheard.
If we can just wake up to this fact, this is a show-stoppingly great moment in time for our industry. There simply isn't room for me-too, clutter-up-your-life, half-baked ideas, or one way messages dumped on the web dressed up to look "interactive". However, there is lots of room for marketing done with skill and purpose, that people want to share, remix and make their own.
I'm calling this Marketing Singularity – an absurd title, which I'll explain it in a second. For now, I just want to restate how it feels that we're at a tipping point in our industry's life cycle. If we can just set ourselves straight, it's going to be epic. Let me explain why and how…
Is the pace of change exponential or logarithmic?
Let's start with a question that's at the root of why we're having this conversation in the first place: the oft-discussed pace of change. Jeremy pointed me to a speech made earlier this month by Ben Hammersley, who spoke with provocative eloquence about an incumbent generation of leaders losing ground on a 'Internet era' revolution racing away from them. Around the same time, Matt Edgar wrote a spirited rebuttal to the common assumption that the pace of change is accelerating.. It feels important to decide where you sit on this debate, because if the pace of change is exponential, then it follows we need to have systems in place that encourage us to plan a lot further ahead – or react more nimbly – than we have currently. Or perhaps that isn't the point. The pace of change may or may not be accelerating, but the pace of life is de facto faster than it was, say, five years ago. And whilst Matt questions whether technology's exponential rate of change actually impacts on our lives to the same degree, I find that a peculiar assumption. Technology doesn't sit on the sidelines of our lives these days: it's embedded, root and branch. What's more, the technology companies themselves regard speed as a competitive advantage ("Better products, faster" – Larry Page, Google shareholders' meeting, 2011). Last week's avalanche of tech news (again) is a case in point.
Marketing Singularity?
In fact you could argue we're approaching Marketing Singularity: the point at which marketing is forced to become exponentially better, until it is so useful or entertaining it ceases to be a separate, stand-alone, one-way message and instead becomes indistinguishable from the product or service it promotes.
It might be content, it might be a framework or a game that invites participation; or even participation that gets displayed as a game. Platforms are brand operating systems, campaigns are applications. As Ben pointed out earlier this year, these are not binary.
Marketing as a profit centre, not a cost
Taking this to its logical conclusion, shouldn't we aim to create marketing products and services that are so good, people are prepared to pay for them? Even if this approach isn't what's required (perhaps a Freemium model is the way to begin), I like the responsibility it places upon our shoulders: make marketing valuable to people. Looking further out, we may look back on the tube8 days we spent millions of dollars just paying for the privilege to reach people as a little odd. Brands like Audi and Red Bull are early experimenters in the guise of brands as committed media owners / publishers.
The kind of agency OS this demands
A few programs for starters:
Reductive thinking everywhere
At Labs, we admire the ruthless economy, flex and energy of a great start up as much as the next person. Kickstarter and Instagram are two of the better known examples of Minimum Viable Product thinking. For any agency worth their salt, the fundamental principles of MVP should not feel new. Great brand strategy and creative have *always* been about the art of sacrifice. The task now is to apply that mindset throughout agency departments: reduce to MVP, then listen (data) and pivot as required. This becomes all the more important when we look at shifts in business stability: from long periods of stability and short periods of disruption, to the reverse. This is a model for marketing too – let's get comfortable with an environment that needs to flex and morph.
Silicon vs carbon
As Rishad Tobaccowala said a few days ago, 'the world may be digital, but people are analog." Any agency OS needs to be built around people, not technology.
'Big is a collection of smalls'
People habitually join agencies like BBH from colleges and smaller agencies because they want to do something at SCALE. Accordingly, the very last thing we need to do is shy away from growth. Instead, the best agencies are increasingly breaking into nimbler, cross-functional teams, often with hybrid skills and collaborative in mindset. As Nigel Bogle puts it, 'big is a collection of smalls'. Teams with autonomy, but access to shared services.
Whilst we should cast for the client or task in question (don't take the team structure I sketched too literally), it's worth drawing attention to the 'broker' role. If you're interested in non-traditional media partnerships and thinking, you need a deal maker in your team.
Networked, versus in a network
We cannot do everything ourselves. With every layer of complexity, comes a deeper requirement to nurture and build strong external partnerships. Labs is a product of its network, plain and simple.
Foster Renaissance (wo)men
We've said this before, but we're living through a Renaissance period. To be successful, we need fearless people who want to collaborate and learn from other industries. Deal makers, entrepreneurs, makers.. The people who never hold back from making the thing they dream of, just because the tools don't exist today. Because they know they'll exist tomorrow.
Make real things
You don't need a 3D printer to make stuff or experience the benefits of making a proto-type of your idea. Making an early version of something – even if it's rubbish (many years ago, I remember taking a mockup of a Boddingtons Tetra pak to a client meeting, to sell the idea of 'Fresh Cream'. They hated it) – teaches you stuff you don't find out if you stay in theory mode. So go buy a soldering iron and make something… There's also a non-too-subtle shift going on between experiences that live entirely online (potentially interesting) and those that straddle the real world too (potentially fascinating). Check out Russell Davies' piece for Campaign and the brilliant Marc Owens' Avatar Machine if you want to read more.
Stay curious
Adopting and encouraging a culture of constant learning sounds exhausting, but it may well be the only way to stay sane. Learn to code, get comfortable in the wild, stay open, stay curious – I'm enjoying playing with my Weavr thanks to @zeroinfluencer – create your own here. A phrase used often at BBH and which turned up on our login screens this summer is perhaps an apt way to close: "Do interesting things and interesting things will happen to you."
We'd love to hear what you think – what are the other programs you'd want to include in an agency OS?
Check out Martin's presentation here and James's here.
Thank you to Neil, James, Martin and everyone who came and contributed… as always, the discussion got most interesting when the formal presentations stopped and everyone piled in. Aside from following the conversation here #Firestarters or nicely storified here, there have also been several thought provoking response posts (check out this one here from Simon Kendrick or this one here from Shea Warnes for starters). As always, Neil's follow-up post will be one to look out for too.

ASOS Urban Tour: An Experiment In Shopping Culture
16th September 11
Posted in Film, interactive
Author: Lucia Komljen, Strategist, BBH London
This week saw the launch of ASOS Urban Tour – a shoppable, cultural experience in the form of an interactive platform promoting ASOS A/W 2011 menswear collection. It invites the audience to watch some of the world's most skilled urban musicians, dancers, designers and artist in action across the world and to explore what – and where – inspires their craft and their style. The centerpiece is a dynamic, shoppable video set in London which can be paused and explored at any point, presenting the user with more information on the dancers and enabling the purchase of their looks.
Overall, we hope Urban Tour is an example of what can be achieved when you push technology and design in an attempt to seamlessly combine entertainment and service for e-commerce brands. Furthermore, it's another demonstration of just how powerful it can be when technology enables ambitious creativity throughout the customer journey.
Here's the story behind the work so far, we'd love to hear what you think. Read full post

Please donate here: http://keepaaroncutting.blogspot.com/
A few weeks ago we started the UK edition of The BBH Barn program (@BBHBarn).
The Barn is a program for our interns: its aim to expand and mix both the power advertising wields and youth's inherent energy, then channel both for good.
As our team went about trying to find a problem they felt passionate about solving, we were all surprised by the absurdity of the past week's riots in the UK.
With the riots came all of the negativity towards todays youth and the use of social media technology to mobilise people.
There it was, we had our problem. We wanted to show the world that youth and technology could also be a force for good, this was exactly what The Barn was about. The team came up an idea. Why not use the force for good to help someone that was neither young nor technology savvy.
hd sex We set up Keep Aaron Cutting.
Aaron is an 89 years old barber who has been in the Tottenham area for 41 years whose business was ransacked during the riots. He has no insurance and no way of rebuilding his shop. His livelihood is devastated.
"I will probably have to close because I haven't got insurance and I can't afford the repairs," – Aaron
If we could restore Aaron's faith in youth and technology that might not solve the problem, but would be the perfect way to start.
If you want to help, please donate or share. And if you'd like to, follow the story via the site and via #keepaaroncutting on Twitter.

What People in Brands Can Learn From People in Bands
5th August 11
Author: Neil Barrie (@neilbazza), Director, ZAG
I spent the first half of my adult life to date, playing in bands and the second half planning brands, most recently at Zag, the brand ventures division of BBH.
After an awkward adjustment period where I tried to deny all existence of my previous life and its accompanying streaked mullet jpegs, I've recently been finding that I actually learned a lot of useful things in those years in the Highbury Garage. Here they are:
# 1 Develop your dynamics
Listen to any AC/DC, song, especially Back in Black and you are listening to a lesson in dynamics. The space, the drums, the shifts, the CRUNCH – you can't help but be moved by it. Loads of massive rock tracks owe a lot to soft/loud dynamics from Babe I'm gonna leave you to Teenage Dirtbag. Boys in particular like this sort of thing. The laws of rock dynamics are directly applicable to any presentation. It's a good discipline to think "where's the bit where the chords come crashing in?" and "how can I make this section feel more like ACDC?"

SEP Definition Updates on VDIs
Hi All.
Good Day!
I have a query related to content updates on VDIs. We have not yet rolled out SEP client on the VDIs but are in the process of testing the installation, creating exceptions, and configuring live update setting etc on a few VDIs. We need to run around 10K VDI clients from the golden image and we need all of them to be updated. Our clients are running as non-persistent guest virtual machines.
Moreover, we are alreay following the best practices specified at: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH180229
The concern is that we do not have an image refresh policy at the moment. We may not update the golden image for months. Also, it is really cumbersome to recreate 10K clients everytime the golden image is updated.
So, if we do not update the golden image for say 2 months, how will we manage the content updates. Will it require to download the content updates from the day the golden image was created all the way to the current date whenever the VDI gets connected. Is that how it works?
We also have a Shared Insight Cache in place. But can we consider that as a replacement for latest updates, as it marks files as safe that are already considered clean?
Request you all to please assist me with this.
We are running SEPM 12.1.1101.401 RU1 MP1.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it will download the entire missing chunckWhen will a client download a full definition set from a Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager or Group Update Provider?
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH131528How are virus definitions distributed from the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager?
SIC is for scan. the clients needs to be updated.
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
In your case, you use the content randomizer in the client communication settings to randomize definition and signature delivery. Based on client density we have found the following to be a pretty decent guideline based on a 1 hour client pull based heartbeat:
a. 25-30 VDI instances per host – 2 hour randomization
b. 30-50 VDI instances per host – 3 hour randomization
c. 50-75 VDI Instances per host – 4 hour randomization
d. 75-100 VDI Instances per host – 6 hour randomization
e. 100-150 VDI instances per host – 8-12 Hour Randomization based on disk type start with 12 and work backwards until the customer is comfortable with the IOPS level.
It should be noted that this is NOT randomization using the settings within the Live Update Policy. Using randomization within the LU policy has shown to be much more CPU and disk intensive. Best performance has been having clients pull content from the SEPM. And common sense says no VDI should be a GUP (Group Update Provider).
Check the White Paper for best-practise configuration.
Secondly, Shared Insight Cache is a stand alone server that enables clients to share scan results. This allows clients to skip scanning files that have already been scanned by another client.

Do not spend money calibrating it. For regular use you'll never need that much accuracy.
I'm not sure about schockt's comment about a high resistance short though. A short is a subjective thing, it's a somewhat arbitrary threshold on a resistance measurement below which the meter will beep and above which it won't (usually around 100 ohms). The fluke will do a better job making that resistance measurement, but I don't see anything special about a meter that just happens to have a high threshold for the beep. And even a cheap meter can make an ok R measurement over a pretty wide range. Perhaps the fluke lets you change the threshold.
A short isn't a subjective thing when you are trying to troubleshoot a line voltage control circuit that is blowing control fuses, and the cheap meter says that a portion of the circuit is O/L, and the good meter says it is shorted to ground. In that case having a crappy meter means spending a lot more time searching for a problem that it can't see.

Great deal on the new Tales of Monkey Island. (Saw it for at least $20 or $30 just last night elsewhere). I just played through the game about 3 days ago, and bought the game some time ago when TellTale sold a pack of their games. Haven't played the other Monkey Island titles, but man was I impressed with this one. I admit that I used a walkthrough, but it was still very enjoyable. The common cutscenes help to keep the game alive.
I'm interested in the Poker game. More so Poker Night 2, but a lot of users are saying it has been crashing for them in Steam....

Get on another browser, and download Ghostery for your browsers, and you can generally remove the malware with ccleaner (or if you know what you're doing within the registry hijackthis!)
On to the thread at hand, Monkey Island is alright, but only for those who have played any of the other games in the series. While you don't need to know the jokes and the story leading into it, you might not enjoy it all that much.
Poker Night at the Inventory is just about $2 worth of game, you can only play Omaha and Texas Hold'ems, always against Brock Sampson, Claptrap, Ashley Williams, and Sam. Their interactions get repetitive if you've played like 10 tournaments.

I'd like to pick up Wallace & Gromit and Back to the Future, but I already bought those at GOG, and those are not Steam games. I'd prefer to have the Steam versions, but can't really justify the additional $9.00, especially since I already paid that once already...

Friends, family and debts of a different kind are dealt with in this debut novel of by IT professional.
Though as the cover suggests, the whole story is connected by violence and alcohol, the crux of this thriller is emotions and friendship, the emotions and friendship of Jacob and Shiva.
Set in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu between 2006 and 2009, the book shows off the culture and traditions of the land and explains picturesque locations and occasions like a Christmas celebration, very vividly. It also gives us an insight into violence and its effects on people.
The crux...
Shiva, the protagonist of the story, is the unchallenged bully and master of the streets who at first bullied Jacob in school. He is later repaid for this act through kindness by Jacob who comes to Shiva's rescue and fends off Shravan, who wanted to beat Shiva up.
This bond only gets stronger from there with Jacob helping Shiva give up fighting and mend his ways. The duo is later joined by, Gred and Forge, who bring the humour element to the story and Peresu, who is the wise man of the group. The book revolves around this group's drunken nights and a side story involving girls.
The main focus of the story is the bond between family and friends and the various issues that can arise amongst them. The various family issues that the characters have to go through is a mix of all the scripts ever written for the afternoon TV soaps.
It also talks about violence and how Jacob helps Shiva get over this habit at first, but like many addicts, Shiva finally succumbs to it again.
And Jacob, quiet and non-aggressive as he is, also finally gives in to the power of violence realising as the synopsis of the book says, "there are certain debts that cannot be repaid with kindness. They have to be paid in kind."
Future tracks
Vivek Wilson has tried, in his very first novel, to include more angles than necessary. There are many aspects in the story that are introduced and cause confusion in the minds of the reader, but eventually fall into place like a jigsaw puzzle.
This leads to the book becoming a tad slow in parts but it does pick up pace soon after. Though not un-put-down-able, Dirt Tracks is definitely a formidable start to the writing career of the 'IT project lead' living in Hyderabad.
