Working at home is a wonderful opportunity to be your own boss and set your own career course, but it comes with its own unique set of challenges. Here are the most important lessons I've learned over the course of my freelance career.
Never Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
You'll hear me talking about eggs and baskets a lot on this blog. Let me tell you a little story to explain why. It was 2013, the freelancing heyday. I had been a successful freelancer with several of the top content mills for years, and when a shiny golden egg popped up that paid better than all the rest, I quickly moved my efforts over to that new platform. For a solid year, it was a gravy train (or at least as close as content mills ever get). Then, it wasn't. The company was sold and management changed. What had started out as a wonderful boutique content broker with responsive management and pay rates that would make any freelancer sigh dreamily while listening to Stevie Nicks, morphed into a freelancing catastrophe. The new management was clueless as to the fact that the workforce was the driving force behind the success of the company it had procured. We started hemorraghing talented writers, and the fraction of the original client base that carried over to the new platform began to jump ship. Lesson learned: NEVER, and I mean never, put all your eggs in one basket. No matter how much you love a company or how great the management team is, you are the only person you can trust to manage your own career.
Set Deadlines (And Keep Them)
Most people want the benefits of being their own boss without the responsibility. You're writing your own paycheck now, and to do that, you have to approach your work with the same amount of discipline that you would any other job. In fact, because you'll not only be performing the work but scouting for it, you're going to be working twice as hard. Setting hard deadlines is the key to keeping procrastination at bay (and if Procrastination was a country, I'd be the queen).
Get Organized
I'm one of the few millennials out there who prefers a paper calendar and planner to digital apps, but use whatever you're comfortable with. Resist the urge to start by planning everything in crazy detail (it's going to be hard to take your itemized itenerary seriously when you remember you're still in your pajamas at 3pm.) Start simple. Lay out the articles and tasks you have to perform today, and separate work-related tasks from other errands and responsibilities.
Use Time Blocking
Time blocking is a simple yet magical practice that will help you eek more hours out of the day. Okay, so maybe it's not literally magic, but it's pretty darn close! If you're like me, multitasking is the death of productivity. There are books devoted to the art of time blocking, but in its simplest form, all it is is setting aside a chunk of time each day to devote to a specific genre of tasks. For example, rather than checking Facebook and emails first thing in the morning, then alternating between responding to clients and starting that article that's due in a few hours, I set aside 30 minutes to get caught up on correspondence. Do I accomplish everything I need to do during that time? Usually not, but being hyper-focused and having a limited amount of time to put out the fires of email correspondence makes me use my time more efficiently. Then, I'll set aside three solid hours to dig into my most pressing assignments, usually whichever has the closest deadline. I like to devote those first moments of my day to tasks that don't take a significant amount of focus but still let me start the day with a feeling that I've accomplished something. Once my brain is awake (and heavily caffeinated,) I'll dig into a larger chunk of time spent actually working.
By focusing your efforts on one thing, you can eliminate a lot of the background noise and avoid the deadly quicksand of the social media and email checking cycle. Flitting from one task to another means you accomplish a whole lot of nothing much. Towards the middle of the day, you can set aside an hour or two for housekeeping, both literal and figurative. Other people prefer to group all of their "work blocks" together to maintain laser focus, but I need the brain break that comes with splitting it up.
Value Your Time
You wouldn't walk into a lawyer's office and start shooting the breeze in the middle of her workday, and you wouldn't call a consultant to chat knowing full well he charges $100 an hour for his time. Why? Because explicitly or implicitly, these professionals have assigned a monetary value to their time, and the world respects that. When you work at home, you're going to learn quickly that people assume the self-employed have an abundance of free time on their hands. In fact, many of us make the same mistake by failing to assign a value on our time. I recommend a simple thought exercise to help set a productive mental attitude that will serve you well throughout your work-at-home career. Think about all the work that goes into your earnings for the day. Not just the content writing or search indexing, or whatever actual task you are paid to perform, but the time spent talking with clients, organizing your files, looking for new work and making revisions. Think about how much effort goes into the work you do and assign a fair monetary value to it. How much would you have to pay a personal assistant to do the things you do on a daily basis, just so you can do your actual job? Once you've set a number, divide it out on an hourly basis and ask yourself whether whatever the distraction at hand is can provide benefits that will compensate for the time and effort you've expended. This is a good exercise for anyone who feels guilty for not being available to friends and family at all times even though they work at home. You're a professional, and it's okay to be protective over the time you spend working!

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.9 /5 from 154 reviews
This is a top hotel. The concierges were very helpful for local attractions- restaurants etc and how to use local transport- trams etc We dined in one night in the glamorous Rote Bar- (not the top restaurant- Anna Sacher)- and had a great meal, though quite expensive. It was easy and less expensive to find local coffee shops for breakfast and we really enjoyed sitting out near the Opera house (which is over the road) and listening to and watching live broadcasts from inside performances- la Traviata was on last week. The room was large and comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a heated floor, which was a genuine pleasure even though Vienna weather was superb.
Superb experience. The staff was particularly attentive and they were so kind to upgrade us to a magnificent suite.
Get breakfast included its v expensive at Euro 35 ish
This 5 star historical hotel is in the heart of the city. The price is very affordable for the quality u are receiving. Breakfast is not included and is expensive but it is well worth it as u won't have to eat the rest of the day and u can focus on site seeing. The bar was fantastic. The cafe had fantastic food. The formal dining room is the kind of place one would propose marriage. The staff is friendly. The rooms were beautiful and the artwork throughout the hotel was unbelievable. U are across the street from the Big Bus tour bus stop. The pedestrian shopping is next to the hotel. U are 4 blocks from the Naschmarket and several museums including the Natural History museum and the main museum of Vienna. U are in the PERFECT location. I wish I had known the naschmarket was so close because we would have eaten there morning noon and night!!! Lastly, St Stephan's Catholic Cathedral is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Morning mass is 6:30am M-F and slightly different on the weekends. There is no better place to stay. The hotel is VERY grand.
Wonderful staff

Behaviour that would never be tolerated in any other sport has long been commonplace on the football field, with managers clearly untroubled by players who abuse referees, and the authorities seemingly unwilling to crack down on it. Now, at last, the point has been reached at which football, although not entirely as one, is saying, "enough is enough".
The extent of the challenge was demonstrated on Sunday. In an incident that was typical of many, Liverpool's Javier Mascherano was sent off for dissent during the match against Manchester United. As it happened, the Football Association had just launched a campaign for players to show referees more respect.
In a season in which the former England international Sol Campbell has spoken out about the abuse that players routinely receive from spectators, it is clear that a kind of road-rage culture runs deep in football. Managers do not help by their readiness to berate officialdom. Most troubling of all is the way the trend has filtered all the way down to junior levels. The pressures of the modern professional game – the money, the competitiveness, the constant swirl of hype that surrounds it – cannot be cited as an excuse.
The players' union chief, Gordon Taylor, yesterday called for referees to be made a "no-go area". It would be good to see that happen, and Mr Taylor deserves the backing of everyone involved in the game. A more realistic approach, however, might be to allow the two captains, but no other players, to speak to the referee.
A line needs to be drawn clearly and decisively. Rugby does not have this problem, and football does not need to have it either.

The Orioles honored Earl Weaver at Camden Yards on Saturday, playing the video below, among other tributes. And while the Orioles might not be a D.C. sports news story anymore — or it's debatable, anyhow — Earl Weaver sure is. He was a face of the team during the years when many Washingtonians rooted for Baltimore, and his (first) retirement in 1982 was above-the-fold Washington Post news, as seen here.
In fact, in case you can't read the text above, here's how Kindred's story began.
Whistling, stomping their feet, clapping their hands, waving towels and pennants and brooms from the kitchen pantry, maybe 50,000 people stood in a ballyard at dusk today and called in one voice 'We want Earl…We want Earl.
The Orioles lost today, 10-2. They lost to Milwaukee in a game for the American League East championship. They had won four straight games when a single defeat meant the end. But now in the dusk, they had lost the season's last game without ever being in it.
And the 50,000 faithful, wanting their Orioles for a curtain call so they could thank them properly, saw a little fellow wearing No. 4 pop up the dugout steps. Earl Weaver, the manager, is No. 4 in your program, No. 1 in Baltimore's heart. Only 52 but (he says) worn out by 35 years in baseball, he's retiring now (for how long, no one knows). Over 14 seasons, the wizened gnome/genius made the Orioles big winners, and this was his last game.
"Weaver 4 President," a banner said.
"Thanks Earl," another said.
His baseball cap in his right hand, his left hand held high in thanks, Weaver stood 30 feet in front of the Orioles' dugout. He lifted his face to the upper deck. He turned to the right field seats. He blew kisses around the ballyard….
Weaver disappeared into the dugout at 6:26 p.m. They played "Auld Lang Syne" at 6:33. But at 6:42, here came Weaver back ont the field, now in a sweat shirt, now blowing two-handed kisses to the faithful.
And record this: the last, delightful thing Earl Weaver did on the field on his last day as Baltimore's manager was, laughing all the while, twist his body into Hagy-esque shapes to lead the 50,000 in chanting, 'O-R-I-O-L-E-S.'
So anyhow, the video above is worth watching if you lived through those years, or even if you didn't.

Down And Out In Beverly Hills? Get Realby
If Barry Diller is moping over his loss of Paramount Communications Inc. to Viacom Inc., he's not about to show it. "One of the things I learned long ago about auctions was that it's not about ego or talent," Diller said after his defeat. "It's simply about raising your hand for the next bid."
That next bid is a matter of fervid speculation from Wall Street to Wilshire Boulevard. Diller won't discuss specifics, but he makes it clear that he plans to play on a larger field than his $1 billion-a-year home-shopping service. "We went for five months tilting at this windmill," Diller says. "There will be others."
BIG STAKE. What media property could he target? Take your pick: NBC, which he once considered buying from General Electric; or MCA, whose Japanese owner, Matsushita, has discussed selling an equity stake with other media companies; or maybe even Time Warner, in which his friend, Seagram President Edgar Bronfman Jr., has amassed a big stake. "You have to be opportunistic about these things," says one top Diller adviser. That means Diller could make his move with scant warning or change strategy as assets become available.
In the short term, however, Diller needs to get his own house in order. While he has been waging his campaign for Paramount, others, including Time Warner Inc., have announced a raft of home-shopping rivals. QVC Network Inc. itself will soon launch a new upscale shopping channel, Q2, and also is selling its tchotchkes in Europe. To bolster his position in this crowded market, Diller will probably revive his efforts to merge with archrival Home Shopping Network Inc.
Before he even takes that step, Diller must settle the shifting list of players who are supporting QVC. Cable titan John C. Malone had agreed to sell his stake in QVC after his involvement raised antitrust concerns during the takeover. Since that's no longer an issue, the president of Tele-Communications Inc. will retain his 19% stake in QVC and resume his role as one of the company's three controlling shareholders, along with Diller and cable operator Comcast Corp.
But some of Diller's other backers may not welcome Malone's return. BellSouth Corp., which played a crucial role in financing Diller's bid, still retains an option to buy $500 million worth of QVC stock. TCI, meanwhile, is close to merging with Bell Atlantic Corp. BellSouth may not want to share its investment in QVC with a rival Baby Bell. What's more, Malone remains a lightning rod for federal regulators.
With annual cash flow of nearly $100 million and with funds available from backers such as Comcast and the Newhouse family, Diller has plenty of money to go shopping without BellSouth. Nor has he lost much of his luster in the takeover battle. Matsushita, which has discussed selling a minority stake in MCA to Malone, may see Diller as just the man to propel its film and record companies into the multimedia age.
The creator of the Fox network has also contemplated starting another TV network. Buying NBC Inc. would give Diller a strong foundation. But Richard J. MacDonald, a media banker at CS First Boston, warns that Diller might have to compete for the networks with such power players as Turner Broadcasting and Walt Disney.
Diller is a methodical man who weighs his objectives carefully. This time, though, media experts say he can't afford to tarry, since other potential buyers are already circling the few remaining software players. "It isn't as if there's another Paramount," notes Viacom Chairman Sumner M. Redstone. "We got the last Paramount." Sure enough. But in Barry Diller's world, this auction has only just begun.

In-Vitro Plants>
Cryptocoryne x purpurea In-Vitro Dennerle
Price including german VAT plus shipping costs
Dennerle Cryptocoryne x purpurea In-Vitro
Cryptocoryne x purpurea is a rarity from Southeast Asia. It is a natural hybrid between Cryptocoryne griffithii and Cryptocoryne cordata. The variety described here comes from Borneo and has remarkable marbling on the leaf blades. The growth is significantly slower than other Cryptocoryne species that are well known in aquatics. Growing to a height of around 10 cm (previous experience of cultivation in an aquarium), it remains relatively small in size and, depending on the size of the tank, can therefore also be used in the foreground. As with all Cryptocorynes, a nutrient-rich substrate is very important, as a lot of nutrients are absorbed by the roots.
+ for the forefront
+ Temperature Range: 22-28°C
+ CO2-Requirements: 10-30 mg/l
+ demanding to cultivated species with medium light requirements
Dennerle plant-it! In-Vitro plants are cultivated in the laboratory under sterile conditions. They are supplied in a 7 cm, sealed tub filled with nutrition jelly. The small plants are completely free of algae and snails and can be planted directly. This product is ideal for smaller aquaria and Nano Cubes and for modern aquascaping. But they are also suitbale for larger aquariums and tanks which are already setted up.
The top right hand corner of the packaging very clearly shows how much care each plant requires. Before introducing the plants, the nutrient medium simply has to be rinsed and the plants divided. Clean it, cut it, PLANTit!

Last-minute goal by Minnesota State ends No. 1 Minnesota's unbeaten string
MINNEAPOLIS -- Freshman forward Brett Knowles scored with less than 50 seconds left in the third period to lift 14th-rated Minnesota State to a 2-1 Western Collegiate road victory at No. 1 Minnesota on Friday, snapping the Gophers' 10-game unbeaten streak.
Following a conservatively played opening period were the Mavericks outshot the Gophers by a 12-8 margin, it took until the second period before either team was able to dent the twine.
Gophers defenseman Nate Schmidt took a carom off of a stick from in front of the net and beat MSU freshman Stephon Williams blocker-side for the first goal of the game at 7:48 to open the scoring. The Mavericks responded before the end of the period, however, when junior forward Johnny McInnis took Matt Leitner's centering pass and tapped the puck past Minnesota freshman Adam Wilcox with MSU on the power play at 16:42. The goal is the 11th of the year for McInnis.
Minnesota, which failed to reach the four-goal plateau for the first time in the past 10 games, outshot the Mavericks by a 20-9 margin in the third period, but Minnesota State freshman forward Brett Knowles scored the decisive goal after a shot from the point by Zach Palmquist went to Eli Zuck and then was finished off by Knowles at the 19:16 mark of the final period. The goal, the second of the year by Knowles, is his first career game-winning tally.
Williams, who now owns a 13-6-2 mark on the year, finished with 37 saves in the game, while Wilcox (16-3-4) had 31, one off his career high.
The Mavericks are now 13-3-1 in their past 17 games and own a 16-8-3 mark on the season. MSU stands 10-8-1 in WCHA play. The Gophers, who lost for the first time since Nov. 30, 2012, dropped to 17-4-4 overall, 9-3-4 WCHA. The Mavericks are 7-4-0 in the past 11 games with Minnesota.
The two teams reconvene Sunday at Verizon Wireless Center in Mankato, Minn., to close out the two-game series.

The artful dodger of Charlotte Street, as he was never known, this modest Essex boy found himself working at Saatchi & Saatchi's dispatch department at the tender age of 20. It was a simpler time; 1500 employees, one computer, and endless expense accounts.
When he wasn't setting colleagues on fire or taping them to a chair (health and safety was a non-issue in the 1800s), his entrepreneurial side was at work. Matt realised he could buy the old Saatchi cars way below value and sell them for a neat profit, so he made a few bob doing just that, and decided the advertising world was for him.
Looking for his next challenge, Matt joined the Mill, opening the first traffic department and revolutionising some of the legacy processes that had prevailed.
His entrepreneurial interest was piqued again when one day a client was yelling about a tape that hadn't been received and someone shouted 'send him an mpeg'. Seeing a digital-gap in the market of advertising delivery, Matt started BEAM.TV in 1999, and spent the next few years travelling the world and changing the way people worked. It was a venture true to his dispatching roots, and Matt was exposed to some of the biggest names and characters in our industry.
Matt's adventures had given him an impressive little black book of contacts across the world, and in 2008, he decided to formalise his inside knowledge as the location guides known as Little Black Book.
By 2010, Matt was sick of hearing his mates bemoaning the task of keeping on top of industry news, and he saw an opportunity to develop something new. He decided to create a place where all the news, from all areas of advertising, across all regions in the world, could be found and read for free. And that was the birth of LBBonline.com
Little Black Book is true to Matt's real passion –to celebrate everything great about this wonderful industry that he has been in love with since 1988.
And he won't be stopping until everyone realises how they can really get fame without paying a fortune.
When Matt is not in Soho he loves the sea (any sea), travelling, Christmas, curry and family.
Something you didn't know about Matt...
He really loves silly cars, silly bikes and tiny houses. And cries at absolutely everything on TV; movies, shows and adverts. He really (we mean REALLY) dislikes buttons and has a scarily entrenched phobia of all things Susan Sarandon.

Sarah's first paid job was to calligraph invitations for private parties - aged 11. She could have made a living out of it, too, had the personal computer and printer not come to market. She studied Russian Studies and History at the University of King's College and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, finishing at the Moscow Pedagogical University.
Then fluent in Russian, English and French, Sarah decided to let it all slip away while cooking and waitressing (read skiing and biking) in the Rocky Mountain town of Banff, Alberta. She followed that up by going to college for music, majoring in vocal studies in Nelson,British Columbia.
Several years of waitressing, singing and temping followed before Sarah found herself at Brunico Communications, Toronto and wound up on the team that would launch Boards Magazine. Sarah was there until 2004, reaching the position of Publisher before moving to the UK,where she soon started work on what would become Little Black Book, and then LBBOnline.
Sarah enjoys running, cooking, holding her children's hands and making piles of unfinished work all over her house. Oh, and lists. She loves a list.
Something you didn't know about Sarah...
Sarah is afraid of heights, sea creatures, tunnels, bridges, and baddies. She thinks tattoos are really naff but loves butter mint candies.
Laura Swinton
Global Editor – LBBonline
Laura joined LBBOnline as a staff writer in 2012 and was quickly promoted to Deputy Editor, before becoming Global Editor in 2014.
She previously worked at Shots where she was News Editor, and has written for industry publications such as Promo (now promonews.tv), 1.4, The Young Directors Award, and the Beak Street Bugle.
Laura spent a year at Renmin University in Beijing as part of her undergraduate degree in Chinese with Politics and has a deep-seated interest in East Asian culture, history, languages… and food. She also has postgraduate degrees in Journalism and Psychology and has spent time volunteering in education and mental health around the UK.
Her personal passions are the psychology and neuroscience of creativity and the coming together of art and science – so she's in her element when interviewing the most innovative minds in the business.
Laura enjoys graphic novels, accumulating new hobbies and belting it out at karaoke.
And leaning on tills.
She definitely does not speak Klingon.
Something you didn't know about Laura...
She has held a human brain.
Paul Cooper
Head of New Business – LBBonline
Paul joined LBBonline as a middle aged grunt in 2010 and is now the longest serving LBB-er (not counting the founder).
Before LBB Paul taught art at primary school, was a mosaic artist and did a number of other jobs that he is prevented from disclosing.
Paul's main passion/addiction is buying records, his ever expanding collection was started with his dinner money at school, who needs school dinners when you've had six Weetabix for breakfast. He does a weekly music podcast, Polyvinyl Craftsmen, with a couple of mates from a shed in the Thames Estuary that often involves gin.
Today Paul heads up New Business, and helps drives our global growth.

Something you didn't know about Paul...
He holds the unofficial world record for the number of Ferrero Rocher eaten in a minute.
Rachael Delahunty
Head of Communications (LBBonline) & LBB/Lab
Born within a mile of the Tyne, Rachael spent most of her youth explaining why she didn't have a Geordie accent (still a medical marvel to this day) and watching endless hours of LA Law (perhaps to blame?).
After a brief foray into children's TV, she felt she had conquered the acting world by age-12, and turned her attention to law and order – studying law at Liverpool University, and taking the Bar Course in Newcastle.
It was everything she dreamed of, a powdered horse-hair wig and the right to yell 'object 'in open court. But after six years of stomping around like Rumpole of the Bailey, she decided to turn her career to more creative aspirations, and moved to New York (as you do).
She dabbled in some creative projects (there was a day working at Vogue and a trip to Courtney Love's house that you can read about in her memoirs), but Rachael had her sights set on communications. So she started working for Sir Martin Sorrell at WPP HQ, and networked her way over to Y&R.
Despite being thrown in at the creative deep-end, this legal beagle sniffed out some high-profile communications projects that had a global impact, and was later made Global Communications Manager.
3 years later, via a re-location back to London, Rachael met Matt through Y&R EMEA and in 2015 she became Head of Communications at LBB, also running LBB's PR and content generating limb, LBB/Lab.
When Rachael isn't writing content, devising strategies and pushing out global communications, she is mollycoddling her team, making office treats, and telling it like it is.
Something you didn't know about Rachael
She once blew Nobby Solano's trumpet.
(An actual trumpet– together they played 'Hello' over a Lionel Richie DVD… see memoirs for full story).
Addison Capper
Deputy Editor – LBBonline
A young Addison spent his weekends as potato peeler / pot washer-extraordinaire in his local fish and chip shop, and while he didn't much enjoy the permanent pong of raw potatoes and chip fat, it did spark a curiosity in food. That curiosity turned into obsession upon rupturing every ligament in his knee, sitting in front of the TV for months and watching endless Rick Stein shows.
Thankfully Addison's passion for food was kept extra-curricular and he was able to peel (!) himself away from cooking to study journalism in Chester. This field was somewhat of a family business for Addison; his late grandfather was a Fleet Street journalist, PR guru and President of the Foreign Press Association.
Addison's first foray into Little Black Book was during university, when he worked as a summer intern in 2011. Having whetted his appetite, Addison re-joined the team as an Editorial Researcher the following year, and has since been an integral part of the LBB editorial team.
Today Addison is Deputy Editor and lives in Berlin, heading up LBB's German operations, while also overseeing North American editorial content.
Still a devout foodie – he maintains a persistent penchant for burgers, beers and bass. So most weekends you'll find him concocting extravagant burger recipes, drinking ostentatious beers, and demonstrating some fairly flashy dance-moves.
Something you didn't know about Addison…
He is the official University of Chester - 2011 FIFA Champion. And very proud of it.
Liam Smith
Head of Content – LBBonline
Having cut his teeth as a dishwasher in a dementia unit, Liam decided that there had to be a better way to fund his addiction to video games, spicy food & Nicholas Cage memorabilia.
So after studying creative writing at Roehampton University for two years, he joined Little Black Book in 2014 as editorial assistant, immersing himself in an industry where his terrible fashion sense would not be (vocally) shamed.
Learning the ins and outs of adland as he went, he received his current sparkly job title in 2015, and now manages the content and nitty-gritty parts of the Little Black Book site. He also manages the ever-popular 'Influencers' channel, so be sure to hit him up if you'd like to get involved!
On weekends, Liam plays lots of video and board games, shares funny videos with his unimpressed mates and complains about unimportant things on the internet.
Something you didn't know about Liam...
He can play the accordion. Just not very well.
Phoebe Siggins
Senior Writer + Strategist – LBB/Lab
Before joining LBB Phoebe was trained as a mosaicist by her father. With a background in Fine Art, Phoebe pursued a degree in History of Art at Warwick University which led to the realisation that she'd never like to live in the Midlands again.
Phoebe began her career working as a Sales and Marketing Intern for Shoreditch-based medical recruitment start up, Network Locum. After just three months Phoebe was promoted to Communications Manager for the company running the digital marketing & social comms strategy for the online platform, crunching computer code and handling the accounts of hundreds of GPs.
After a taste of the silicon roundabout and a frankly terrifying insight into the state of the NHS Phoebe wanted to reacquaint herself with something far more creative, joining LBB/Lab in November 2014 as a PR Account Manager. Phoebe creates targeted written content for PR clients across the globe, advising on strategy to raise company profiles and maximise on editorial exposure. Phoebe also lends her writing skills to the editorial team, contributing interviews and profiles about top global talent as well as indepth features about the creative process.
She enjoys painting, living by the seaside, and runs LBB/Lab's Squash club with Paul Monan (Cordials, notsport).
Something you didn't know about Phoebe...
She attended Southend High School for Boys sixth form but has at no point had a sex change.
Paul Monan
Senior Writer + Strategist – LBB/Lab
Paul joined LBB/Lab in 2014 immediately after he graduated from Bournemouth University, where he studied Communications & Media, and quickly moved from being a Writer to a PR Account Manager.
Having decided as a teenager that a paper round wasn't for him (lasting only one day, in which he got his Mum to drive him to the last few houses), Paul spent his teenage weekends and school holidays stacking shelves in his local supermarket, before heading further South to pursue a degree.
At uni, Paul dabbled in sport (masterminding Dyslexia Untied's 2-0 victory over hitherto undefeated Lola Lo's Love Machines), radio (where he was producer and MC extraordinaire for bass music show BPM) and politics (runner-up in the closest student election race ever) before committing to a world of creativity.
As a Senior Writer, Paul works with the editorial team to investigate new creative tech trends, cover industry events and profile exciting new talent. With his 'Lab' hat on, he works closely with a host of global clients, creating targeted written content and advising on strategy to raise company profiles and maximise on editorial exposure.
Equal parts burger-enthusiast and sneaker-aficionado, Paul spends every other Saturday following his beloved Charlton Athletic - although he can't say that he enjoys it - and helps run LBB/Lab's Squash Club alongside fellow Lab-er and founder Phoebe Siggins.
Something you didn't know about Paul...
He completed his first ever sticker album - 2014 FIFA World Cup - aged 21. If you're missing any stickers, he still has plenty of swapsies…
Jake Otley
Junior Writer + Strategist / Sales – LBB/Lab
Before joining LBB, Jake spent three years at Sheffield University pursuing a History & Politics degree. He now hates history and doesn't vote.
An obvious masochist, Jake spent the next six months working in Finland, braving -30c temperatures. Having only learnt the Finnish word for beer (which he thinks is 'ol'), Jake decided to broaden his horizons by travelling around South East Asia and Brazil, where he really 'found himself'.
On his return, Jake worked as a copywriter for a financial services company in Essex, where his enthusiasm for mortgages faded as quickly as his tan. After another trip to Asia (getting suspicious now!), Jake returned to Blighty and started at LBB in November 2015.
Jake works in close partnership with a host of global clients, creating targeted written content and advising on strategy to raise company profiles and maximise on editorial exposure.
Jake enjoys sport, cooking, travel and crying about Sheffield United.
Something you didn't know about Jake…
Jake is a 6"4 grown-up who is scared of moths.
Koo Smith
Junior Writer + Strategist – LBB/Lab
Koo spent the first six years of her life in Tokyo, where she perfected her grasp of Japanese to the extent that she both impresses and intimidates the LBB team in equal measure.
This experience put her in good stead for a stint working in HR and finance in Japan, interviewing the public and researching economic policies. But her regular commuting on the seamless Japanese transport system has only served to confirm her suspicions that Southeastern Rail is run by Satan himself.
Shunning the company of other humans, Koo spend hours sat in darkness at her school's two-person World Cinema Club, but thankfully to the benefit of later earning a degree in Film Studies and English Literature. She continued her love for anything film by acting as a mediator between directors and management at an international animation festival.
A massive foodie, she worked (and ate) at an organic farm kitchen but it luckily did not affect her otherwise sinful eating habits.
At LBB/Lab, Koo works closely with a host of global clients, creating targeted written content and advising on strategy to raise company profiles and maximise editorial exposure.

Spotted in Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, it's a ceramic urn portraying Cocijo:
Pronounced koh-SEE-hoh, Cocijo was the Zapotec god of thunder and rain. As you can see, he's got a forked snake-like tongue (it's pretty common for mesoamerican cultures to depict supernatural beings with animal aspects), and is wearing a headdress (a marker of a high-status individual in Zapotec society).
Given the Zapotec's dependence on rain for their agriculture, it makes sense that Cocijo was one of their most important deities. Along with being in charge of storms, the Zapotec felt Cocijo was to thank for pretty much everything in the universe — having created it from his breath.

"We have a very clear statement. It's too late. Too much blood has been spilt," Mustafa Gheriani, a spokesman for the opposition''s self-declared national council set up in the eastern city of Benghazi, told AFP.
Chavez, an ally of Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi, on Monday proposed creating an international peace mission with forces from friendly nations to try to mediate the unrest gripping Libya and avoid civil war.
"We will never negotiate with anybody on the blood of our people. The only way we can negotiate with Chavez is if Gaddafi goes to Venezuela (for good).
"Then we''ll ask him to have Gaddafi back in Libya to be prosecuted by our justice," Gheriani said.
Chavez said earlier this week that any foreign military intervention in Tripoli would be "a catastrophe" as Western countries mulled military action in Libya where more than 1,000 people have been killed in fighting.
He and Gaddafi routinely make public condemnations of US "imperialism" and have exchanged visits in recent years. Ties are so close that Gaddafi was rumoured at one point to have fled to Caracas, before he eventually appeared in public and on television in Tripoli.

Henry Sharpe is an attorney and Director of the Crown Prosecution Service office in central London. A down-to-Earth sort, Henry rules his team with a fair and firm hand. Henry has a very clear understanding of the psychology of offending behavior and the foundations, pressures and lifestyle choices that lead to a life of crime. He takes a very broad view when looking at a case but ultimately he always acts in the public interest. He is a voice for the victim(s) of a crime and does what's best for them and the public, not the offender; and is in a position of power and trust for this reason. Henry brings a real warmth with him and has a history with Jake (as his mentor), which makes him a bit of a father figure.

The Green Bay Packers had every right to be thinking in those terms late in Sunday's game at Lambeau Field, considering what happened last Monday night in Seattle.
The Saints' Darren Sproles had coughed up the football on a kick return with the Packers holding a one-point lead. But the officials, in their first game back after settling a labor dispute, gave little indication of a fumble.
The players battled for the ball, thinking otherwise. And after a lengthy scrum, the Packers' Jerron McMillian came out of the pile with the football. Still, the officials gave the ball back to the Saints.
Replays on the stadium's high-definition scoreboards showed Dezman Moses' textbook hit had clearly caused a fumble, setting off a mini-firestorm. Coach Mike McCarthy had words with the referee and was told the whistle had been blown. Guard T.J. Lang directed another official to the replays high above. And the 70,571 in attendance rained down a chorus of boos as though Brett Favre had returned in a Vikings uniform.
After two failed replay challenges earlier in the game, the Packers could take no further action.
Would a blown call cost the Packers a game for the second consecutive week?
This time it was not to be.
As the Saints began the ensuing drive amid a refrain of the "The refs still suck" from the fans, quarterback Drew Brees led his offense into scoring position. But after 11 plays and two penalties just before a potential game-winning kick, Garrett Hartley's 48-yarder sailed wide left with 2:49 remaining in the game. The Packers' offense then grinded out a first down and ran out the rest of the clock to preserve a 28-27 victory.
"I don't think I'm going to make any statements today," said Lang, who vented his frustration about the NFL and the replacement officials via his Twitter account following the controversial loss to the Seahawks. "I was pretty close to having a case of déjà vu, but we ended up pulling it out at the end, so not a big deal."
Lang got more than 90,000 re-tweets for one of his comments minutes after a 14-12 loss to the Seahawks. McCarthy chose to redirect his frustration into the Saints. And even after several more questionable calls Sunday from the "regular" officials, he managed to keep his emotions relatively in check – both during the game and in his postgame press conference – with a touch of humor.
"Well, I'll just say this," he began. "We were kidding about this inside. After what I went through last week, the league had called me and we talked about a few things, and they said that they were giving me a pass the rest of the year. I don't have to answer any more questions about officials. So, hey, it's great to have (the officials) back. I thought their communication did make a big difference clearly, the professionalism of the officials, the communication, the management of the game, it was definitely a totally different atmosphere. I think it was very evident if you paid attention to how fast the offenses were playing and the management of the game was able to keep up. So, it was great to have that part back for us and great to have them back, but obviously, let's not be foolish here, there's going to be calls every week that not everybody agrees with."
The ghost of Golden Tate appeared early against the Saints. In the first quarter, wide receiver Marques Colston pushed off on safety Morgan Burnett for 20-yard touchdown reception. What should have been offensive pass interference turned into a game-tying score for the Saints.
Two close replay challenges earlier in the game went against the Packers, too. The first came when wide receiver Jordy Nelson lost the ball while making an extra effort on a third down. The pass was ruled incomplete.
"I was pretty confident they weren't going to overturn it," said Nelson of the play. "I caught it, came down, and saw the first-down marker and tried to reach out to get the first down. And when I came down, the ball hit the ground and moved a little bit. It's the Calvin Johnson rule pretty much. We know what it is. You just have to maintain possession all the way through.
"I didn't tell (McCarthy) to challenge it. I told Aaron right away that when it hit the ground I knew it was going to be simultaneous – not simultaneous but continuation – (simultaneous is) not a good word around here. But I didn't tell Mike. I just ran back to the huddle and what kind of happened was we got down in the play clock, so instead of taking a timeout, he took a chance."
The other challenge from McCarthy came when Saints tight end Jimmy Graham caught an 8-yard pass on third-and-5. Replays showed the point of the ball hit the ground but the official's upheld their decision of a catch. McCarthy would only say afterward of the decision: "Well, I was disappointed with that one, too."
Referee Jeff Triplette and his crew, like others around the league, seemed genuinely excited to be back on the field after missing all of the preseason and the first three weeks of the regular season. They were greeted by the fans at Lambeau with applause and Triplette said over the microphone at the coin toss, "Gentlemen, let's play football!"
It took a span of only a few hours to remind everyone that officials, replacement or otherwise, are imperfect. As wide receiver James Jones said of his team enduring another frustrating night at the hands of the officials, "Oh, man. No comment on the officials. I'm glad we came out with a win. Everybody seen they missed a couple calls but they're human just like we are. We gotta fight through it and we did tonight."
As Jones alluded to, the difference between last week and another outrage this week was getting a close victory.
"Well, it gives us some confidence. I think 1-3 would have been difficult," said quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "We've got a tough schedule coming up. We've got to play some games on the road. We've got to learn to win on the road with this group of guys that we have. One-and-three would have made that very difficult, I think. When you start having consecutive losses, you can't help but having that thinking of, 'Here we go again' at times. Unfortunately, there was a little bit of that tonight with some of the calls but we were able to overcome it. I think it says a lot about the character of this team. This was an important win for us."

Visa threatens to ditch FIFA as sponsor dismay mounts
By Anjali Athavaley and Emma Thomasson
NEW YORK/BERLIN (Reuters) - Visa Inc has told FIFA it could end its sponsorship if soccer's governing body does not act fast to restore the reputation of the game after senior officials were arrested on corruption charges.
The statement from Visa was the strongest so far as sponsors lined up to express concern about the scandal engulfing the world's most popular sport and their customers took to social media to threaten a boycott of brands associated with FIFA.
Sponsors are trying to balance the growing sensitivity of consumers to corruption, human rights abuses and environmental issues against their relationship with the organization that holds the keys to a billion soccer fans worldwide.
"Our disappointment and concern with FIFA in light of today's developments is profound. As a sponsor, we expect FIFA to take swift and immediate steps to address these issues within its organization," Visa said.
"This starts with rebuilding a culture with strong ethical practices," it said. "Should FIFA fail to do so, we have informed them that we will reassess our sponsorship."
U.S. prosecutors issued an indictment on Wednesday accusing nine officials from soccer's world governing body and five sports media and promotions executives of bribes involving more than $150 million over 24 years.
Airline Emirates [EMIRA.UL] and Japanese electronics maker Sony Corp announced in November they would not renew deals with FIFA, although rivals Qatar Airways and Samsung are reportedly in talks to replace them.
Emirates and Sony were among FIFA's six main partners who together paid a total of $177 million in 2014 for the right to advertise in World Cup stadiums and use the FIFA trademark. Continued...

|Tony Allen's learning curve
|01.04.10 at 4:46 pm ET
WALTHAM — It is one the great paradoxes of Tony Allen's career that his biggest problem –besides staying healthy — is turnovers, while his greatest strength is his versatility, which allows him to play multiple positions including, yes, point guard.
When Allen returned from his latest ankle ailment, Doc Rivers tried to make things simple, telling him to cut down on his turnovers and focus on playing defense. That was it. Now with Rajon Rondo hobbled by a hamstring injury, Allen is taking over the reins at the point where he will handle the ball much more than he did before and where things get decidedly more complicated.
One of Rivers great strengths as a game coach is putting his players in a position to succeed, and to that end he had Ray Allen bring the ball up the floor against the Raptors on occasion. But with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett also out of the lineup, Rivers can't afford to have his best scoring option get bogged down in running the team, so the job falls to Tony Allen. It is, as he said, a learning experience. Read the rest of this entry »
|Pierce, Rondo question marks for Miami
|at 3:05 pm ET
WALTHAM — Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo took some shots and did some light running but didn't practice with the Celtics on Monday.
Assistant Tom Thibodeau, who filled in for Doc Rivers, ran practice and said Pierce and Rondo are day-to-day with right knee and left hamstring issues, respectively.
Thibodeau said no decision has been made on whether Pierce would travel with the team to Miami for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
|Injury situation comes into focus
|01.02.10 at 11:04 pm ET
The Celtics shed a little light on their developing injury situation Saturday night.
As expected, Rajon Rondo joined Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett on the sidelines. Doc Rivers said he was didn't want his young point guard to make his tender hamstring worse, and after reviewing Rondo's performance against Phoenix, Rivers said he was concerned that Rondo was trying to over-compensate for the injury. The decision to rest him was set in precautionary terms. "I think he wanted to play," Rivers said before adding that trainer Eddie Lacerte makes the final call.
While Rondo sat, Pierce detailed his experiences last week, which involved a higher than expected white-cell count and an additional surgery to deal with fluid and an infection in his knee. (Go here for more details). If all goes well Pierce might practice Monday before the team heads to Miami to start a three-game road trip, but that's far from certain. Rivers called it 50-50 and Pierce said he was "day-to-day."
What is certain is that Rondo and Pierce are far more likely to rejoin the team before Garnett does. Since details of his hyper-extended knee have surfaced, Garnett has been pushed back from likely to miss the next two games, to possibly out for as much as 10 days from now. That could have Garnett out of the lineup for as many as five games, but even that is far from a hard target.
"I have no idea," Rivers said. "I really don't."
If that sounds eerily familiar to last season, well, it is. The difference, perhaps, this time around is the Celtics may be better-equipped to deal with Garnett's absence for an extended — and unknown –period of time this season.
For starters, the stakes are much obviously lower now than they were last season. The playoffs are nowhere in sight and the Celtics hot start has given them ample room for Garnett to take his time and heal properly.
The offseason addition of Rasheed Wallace also gives the Celtics a reasonable facsimile of Garnett's production and Wallace played perhaps his best game of the season against the Raptors Saturday night. He worked effectively inside on the post and his timely outside shooting helped loosen up the Raptors interior defense, which frankly wasn't all that tight to begin with.
"When Rasheed wants to be, he can be one of the best post players in the game," said Kendrick Perkins, echoing what so many have said over the years. "But, when he comes to play and he's focused, man, he's great."
The Celtics will need more performances like this from Wallace over the next few weeks, whose play can accurately be described as uneven through the first 32 games. "Rasheed shows you he can play almost every night," Rivers said. "He doesn't play well every night, but he's getting better each game."
The third factor with Garnett is that the Celtics have been through this once before. The veteran players are mature and grounded enough to know that it will take some time for Garnett to return and they are prepared to deal with his absence, no matter how long it lasts.
"With Kevin, the big thing is we just want to stay afloat and stay on top of the East until he gets back," Perkins said. "We don't want him to feel like he has to rush back."
|KG, Rondo, Pierce out against Raptors
|01.01.10 at 5:14 pm ET
WALTHAM — Kevin Garnett (knee), Paul Pierce (knee), and Rajon Rondo (hamstring) will not play on Saturday against the Raptors, Doc Rivers said following practice on Friday. Here is the injury rundown:
– Rondo: Rivers decided to sideline Rondo after reviewing film from Wednesday's loss to the Suns. He thought Rondo looked better live than he actually did on tape. Rondo emerged after practice wearing practice gear and sandals. He received treatment at the Celtics training facility.
– Pierce: Pierce also received treatment at the C's facility. Rivers did not have any new information to offer on his return — "Maybe Miami, maybe later."
– Garnett: KG was not present at the Celtics facility during practice. His timetable for return is still indefinite. "I don't think it's a long indefinite thing, but it is indefinite because you don't know the date of return," said Rivers. "It's not going to be that long. But when I did this, I looked at the schedule and I looked at the days off and I thought this was the time to do it."
Marquis Daniels (thumb) is also out.
As for those who will be on the court, Glen Davis (ankle) is expected to play unless his ankle swells up overnight, said Rivers. J.R. Giddens is expected to get his first NBA start, according to Kendrick Perkins, in the midst of the injuries.
|Celtics Community Roundup
|at 3:27 pm ET
The Celtics wrapped up 2009 by spending some extra time in the Boston community. See a few examples of how they ended the year with their fans:
– The Celtics brought cheer to patients from the Boston Medical Center's Pediatric Hematology Program at Dick's Last Resort. The C's posed for pictures and signed autographs for the children, who also received a visit from Santa.
– Rajon Rondo and Glen Davis participated in a Stay in School assembly to honor high-acheiving students at the Thomas Edison Middle School in Brighton. They encouraged students to stay in school by using the acronym PRIDE (perseverance, respect, integrity, decisions, and education). Presented by Arbella Insurance, the Stay in School program is a collaboration of efforts from the Celtics, New England Sports Museum, Northeastern University Center for the Study of Sport in Society, and Boston Public Schools.
– As part of the Read to Acheive program, presented by Kia Motors, Davis, Paul Pierce, and J.R. Giddens read and played board games with children from the GRASP after school program at the Marshall Elementary School in Dorchester and the Orchard Gardens Community Center in Roxbury. Each child received a board game courtesy of the Highland Street Foundation.
– Rondo hosted the "DD Perks Rewards Pick-up on the Parquet" for six lucky Dunkin' Donuts DD Perks Rewards Card holders. The winners received an opportunity to play round robin pick-up games with their five-person teams on the TD Garden parquet. Rondo also participated warm up drills and a shoot-around.
– Ray Allen hosted a giving tree at the Natick Collection and collected hundreds of gifts for children from the Boys and Girls Club of Boston's Jordan Club in Chelsea and the Boston Centers for Youth and Families. The event was presented by Allen's organization, the Ray of Hope Foundation.
|Celtics recall Hudson from NBDL
|12.30.09 at 3:19 pm ET
The Celtics recalled rookie Lester Hudson from the NBA Development League's Maine Red Claws, the team announced on Wednesday. Hudson has played in five games for the Red Claws this season, averaging 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
Hudson was called up on the same day it was reported Rajon Rondo (hamstring) is questionable tonight against the Phoenix Suns.
|Report: Rondo and Garnett questionable
|at 2:00 pm ET
CSN New England's A. Sherrod Blakely is reporting that Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett are both questionable for tonight's game with the Suns. Per Blakely, Doc Rivers told the press after practice that of the two, Rondo is more likely to play. Rondo is dealing with a sore hamstring. Rivers also said that he may wind up sitting Garnett for the next week, specifically citing a game against Miami on Jan. 6 as a potential target date. That would mean Garnett would miss two games; tonight and Saturday against Toronto.
If Garnett can't go, Rasheed Wallace would likely get the start in his place. Rivers has been reluctant to play Wallace and Kendrick Perkins together, preferring that each man the center spot, but Wallace started for Garnett against Philadelphia after Garnett came down with a thigh bruise
UPDATE: The Herald's Steve Bulpett files from Phoenix that the Celtics are saying Garnett's latest problem is not related to his surgery, but that he got kicked in the knee against the Warriors, Monday.

Former Lagerlöf & Leman managing partner has quit to head Pinsent Curtis' new alliance partner Magnusson Wahlin.
Claes Soderstrom, who had been with Linklaters & Alliance's Swedish member firm since 1979, joins as managing partner.
Magnusson Wahlin is one of Sweden's leading practices. Pinsents first worked with the firm in 1995 through an informal international network. But both have decided to take their relationship one step further. The alliance will include secondments, both at partner level and below, as well as client referrals and the alignment of IT systems.
Neither firm has ruled out a possible merger and hope to tackle the lucrative German market together. Pinsents, in particular, wants to bolster its private equity practice and take advantage of Sweden's lucrative technology market.
The appointment of Soderstrom is a coup for Magnusson Wahlin. The leading tax practitioner decided to retire from Lagerlöfs in September to concentrate full-time on management. He was managing partner at the firm between 1990 and 1995.
He denies that his age, 58, was the reason for quitting prior to Lagerlöf's merger with Linklaters in the new year. Attempting to establish a unified retirement age is one of the issues being tackled by the Alliance's merger committee (The Lawyer, 28 February).
But he adds: "There are no old lawyers in normal City firms. You could count them on the fingers of one hand. The profession has turned into an industry earlier in the UK than it has on the Continent."
The alliance was set up by Pinsents corporate partner Jeremy Phillips. He says: "A number of our private equity clients have set up Nordic desks, including UBS and Bridgepoint. The trend towards public-to-private private equity deals is really just something that is getting started in Sweden."

Awesome games 08/09/2012
This review is from: AMD Gift - AMD Gaming Evolved Three For Free Coupon
3 free games with a GPU I was gonna buy anyway? I'm down. Nexuiz really didn't interest me at all (still haven't played it). Deus EX: HR and Dirt Showdown are what I wanted. Fantastic games, graphics, and I really got to show off my new GPU!!
The sheet of paper came in a pretty huge box. The GPU came in one box, and the games came in a BOX. Like 8"x10"x6". I'm not overly green, but a box that big for a single sheet of paper? Kinda crazy. Really, though, no complaints. Well, maybe a better game instead of Nexuiz? Can't complain though....it was free :D

A pioneering patent for free-floating graphene production technology
|CRRs process for generating a floating continuous graphene film builds upon the traditional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The process involves generating an even plasma distribution to produce a glow discharge of ionized carbon atoms at a desired rate that controls the continuous growth of a graphene film suspended over an alternating polarity magnetic structure having a sufficient gradient to float graphene in a stable manner. The free-floating growth process requires virtually no raw materials or surface preparation and eliminates the metal etching and transfer issues that lead to atomic-scale flaws that reduce efficiency. Graphene film produced using this process can be free of undulations, grain boundaries or defects that may cause uneven build-up of the graphene into a polycrystalline structure.
|The process also enables processing of the graphene during its production including using lasers to draw conductive circuit board traces, applying other atoms using stereo lithography to build nanostructures, and activating carbon and mixing impurities to produce semiconductors.
|Our initial investigations have demonstrated an effective technique to economically produce high quality commercial scale graphene without the use of any growth substrate simply by utilizing the interplay between a magnetic field and the diamagnetic nature of graphene. This permits the growth of pristine defect-free films and alleviates the need to remove a film from a substrate after it has grown to its desired size and shape, said Larry Fullerton.
|CRRs free-floating graphene production technology has the potential for substantially increasing the rate of graphene adoption by enabling volume production of high quality graphene sheets as well as graphene sheets tailored to meet specific application requirements.
|CRR President Mark Roberts said, "We are very excited about receiving this pioneer patent for our free-floating graphene production technology. We believe it represents a fundamental capability to produce quality graphene sheets in a scalable and cost efficient manner that did not previously exist, and we fully expect that this technology will play a substantial role in the wide scale adoption of graphene as the next super material."

The above is an excerpt of Max Hattler's abstract political short film Spin (2010).
Catch the full version at film festivals.
Complete credits, awards and screening history: maxhattler.com/spin
Facebook: facebook.com/maxhattler.artistpage
"Max Hattler makes mandalas out of cultural fodder. In this short, a legion of soldiers get the Busby Berkeley treatment, turning war into a tragic musical." San Francisco International Film Festival 2010
"The development of Spin has led to Hattler researching political parades and mass rallies, alongside kaleidoscopic Hollywood dance routines: 'I've been looking at work by Leni Riefenstahl, and the escapist vision of Busby Berkeley. I've also been considering Fordism and the division of labour, where individuals create a bigger pattern. I'm interested in the human as ornament. What happens when you replicate a figure a million times?' With this correlation of dance troupes and military troops, Spin presents a constantly self-replenishing supply of plastic toy soldiers, whose uniform movements shift from dizzying eye-candy patterns into increasingly threatening displays, all to a soundtrack of 1940s big band music." Kate Taylor, Electric Sheep, 2009
"Spin is synchronised swimming for toy soldiers. Aficionados of plastic infantrymen will recognise them almost instantly, and while they've here been rendered such that they can move their limbs, some positional changes see them swapped for another. Here, they are green and black, the living-room invading menace of the tan toy soldiers perhaps being left for a sequel. The sometimes jaunty music from Eclectic works well with Max Hattler's visuals, all creating an entertaining spectacle. It's dark in places, intentionally so, and that's also to the credit of those involved. Perhaps the only note is that among the various GIs and Wehrmacht are some soldiers that appear in fact to be a police SWAT team - what one suspects is actually a battering ram is treated as if it were a giant Roman candle. That may be an artifact of childhood imagination, however, and given how many bricks substituted for firearms before Lego, if you will, bit the bullet, it's totally forgiveable. Watching Spin does in some ways recall the pageantry of fascism, the Nuhremberg rallies and North Korean stadium displays, though again that's an important element - divorced of ideology such efforts still glorify something, and the very notion of a toy soldier raises all sorts of questions. Spin doesn't attempt to answer any of them, nor should it - sometimes the mere act of asking questions is enough, and Spin manages that amply."

Is capsulectomy appropriate 9 months after explantation?
Doctor Answers 4
Capsulectomy after implant removal
Thank you for asking about your breast implant removal.
- Since you had an implant and rupture, I would probably have removed the capsule at the time of surgery.
- Not every surgeon does not - it is a matter of judgement.
- This is unusual enough a response however that I would now recommend a capsulectomy, pathologic examination of the tissue and the fluid and culture of the fluid.
- An alternative would be to place a drain until the fluid stops forming but that would not be my preference.
- It is possible that the fluid is forming in response to retained free silicone - hence the need for capsulectomy.
Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes - Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS
Thank you for your comments and very sorry to hear of your troubles. Since you continue to have build up of seroma fluid, it may be beneficial to have a capsulectomy to remove the capsule as well as closed suction drainage to seal down the tissues and help prevent a recurrent seroma. The capsule does not necessarily have to be removed at your initial implant removal, but it should be if the capsule is irregular, painful, distorting the breast shape, is symptomatic or thickened. This may be a "game time" decision for your PS. Removing very thin capsules may cause excessive bleeding and be associated with other risks of injuring the chest wall muscles, ribs or other complications.
Best wishes,
Benjamin J. Cousins MD
Explantation and capsulectomy
Many variables enter into the decision regarding capsulectomy at the time of explantation. This is a judgement decision made by the operating surgeon after assessing the risks and benefits of the procedure. At this point as you are having a problem with seromas, your options include futher aspirations and capsulectomy. I would favor the capsulectomy but this is something that should be discussed thoroughly with your surgeon.

Is capsulectomy appropriate 9 months after explantation?
At this point, a capsulectomy with drain placement will be your best solution to stop the build up of fluid within your old breast implant pocket. In general, I would recommend a total capsulectomy when implants are removed because of capsular contracture. Thank you for sharing your question and concerns. Best wishes. Dr. Gregory Park, San Diego Plastic Surgeon.
