William Wenk
Catered only to popular students. Spent way too much time being way too friendly with select students (and ignoring most) and not enough time teaching. He never know my name. Camping trips? Swimming in his home pool? Inappropriate
I loved biology, but Wenk made this class unbearable. If you were not "cool", you were COMPLETELY ignored. He was extremely inappropriate as a teacher & had "TOO personal" relationships with students.
great teacher had alota fun in his class and he got me a 4 on my AP test even though i barely tried. the camping trips and everything else during the year made his class so much better
Was a great teacher only if you were his friend and you played his game. Found his outside involvement with his students to be very questionable.
Spent 2 years on the senior trip with him as a chaperone and the memories he gave those seniors will last forever. Awesome guy with the students in a non-school setting. Will never forget the informal gathering when you played the guitar for the kids.
Mr. Wenk is the greatest teacher. The greenbelt and biking trip were awesome. He really made a huge difference in my life...class of 2000
Great AP Bio teacher, great hearts player, great pal
Best teacher I've ever had, one of the few classes I looked forward to going to. Made AP Bio understandable and fun. Thanks Mr. Wenk!!!
An amazing and inspirational teacher. 13 years later and I still remember how much fun he made biology class!
I learned sooo much in his class, yet it was one of the funnest classes ever. Thanks for a great year!

Slugs but still quicker than the almost revered (these days) 220 wheezer.
4Vman (17th August 2017)
no argument from me, I've agreed, I forgot to add 220 in my previous post.
Hence why I shifted it for the 250stroker.
I would have gone backwards in the 260, even if given to me I would have flipped it quick smart.
YNWA ! off to CL 2018.

How To Use Digital To Make Your Customers' In-Store Experience Awesome
It can no longer be said that we're entering the digital age. It's here. We're in it. Your customers exist in two worlds, the physical and the digital. To ignore either one is to only have half your customers' attention.
But it's about more than just attention. So often as marketers we get caught up simply trying to get people to listen to what we have to say in the hope that our message will get them to patronize our business. We forget that marketing extends through the entire sales process.
Let's face it, while sales and marketing have different definitions, the functions are essentially the same, and any attempt to separate the two automatically diminishes both. All marketers are also salespeople and all salespeople are also marketers. Why? Because it is about more than just your brand IMAGE — it is all about your brand EXPERIENCE.
That means your marketing isn't just leading people to the sales process, it is walking with them through it.
Because let's face it, any misstep along the way will cost you brand loyalty points and will keep people from recommending you to their friends.
Which brings up another important point that we marketers sometimes forget. In the digital age where people consider their lives on social networks to be almost more real than their physical ones, your marketing strategies can't be simply focused on recommendations when it comes to word-of-mouth advertising. You need to give people a reason to want to talk about you, even if none of their friends asks about you.
People share their experiences, the really awesome experiences and the really bad ones. Everything in between is compartmentalized in that area of the brain for those things deemed of little or no consequence. So you don't want your brand experience to fall in that grey zone, and of course, you don't want to give people a reason to complain about you. The unfortunate reality is that people are much more inclined to complain than to praise.
So how do we integrate the worlds of digital and physical into a single incredible brand experience that compels people to talk about you?
1. Deliver content tailored to your customers for maximum relevancy.
Effective marketing of any kind begins with a thorough understanding of who your customers are, what excites them, and what motivates them. The most efficient way to get to know your customer is the same as it is for anyone — talk to them. Bi-directional mobile messaging platforms allow you to speak to your customers either en masse or individually, and better still, they can talk back to you, providing you with the insight you need to provide them with the content they want.
2. Elicit user-generated content through viral social media campaigns.
Beyond tailored content, UGC creates the interactivity and experience with the brand that you're looking for. A social media campaign that gets people to participate is a game-changer when it comes to word-of-mouth. Now your customers are sharing THEMSELVES with their friends when they share you.
3. Bring the physical world to your digital audience.
There's no replacement for being in a store surrounded by colorful merchandise and other excited shoppers if you're a retail operation. If you're a service industry, nothing inspires confidence more than seeing the people who will be doing the work and watching them in action. Give your customers as much of the physical experience as you can through the no-pressure anonymity of the digital experience, and you'll increase the excitement level that will eventually bring them into your store or office. It's great if you post lots of pictures and video of your operation; it's even better if you find creative ways to get your customers to do it for you.
4. Use your mobile app to accentuate the in-store experience.
Your mobile app isn't just about m-commerce. You may not even offer m-commerce, but you can still get incredible mileage out of a mobile app. Here's what your app should be giving your customers:
- Give customers more information about your products or services to help inform their purchase decision.
- Allow your customers to set up customer service preferences. Do they want someone to assist them at the store or do they want to browse without interruption.
- Allow your customers to browse your inventory through your app, add the items to their shopping cart, and either present the list to an associate to fill the order when they come into the store or have the order pre-picked and waiting for them. Convenience is a major factor in the ease and enjoyability of a customer's experience.
- Post in-store QR codes for your customers to scan to get immediate discounts and promotions to give them the added boost they need at just the right time to make their purchase decision.
The bottom line is that your customers live in both worlds — the physical and the digital. If you want to create the kind of awesome brand experience that builds brand loyalty, they better be able to find you in both places, even at the same time.

Discussion in 'Fine Living, Home, Design & Auto' started by Tck13, Mar 15, 2006.
Over here, scooters are for pizza delivery.
That's cool. It's just more practical for me right now. I''ll be doing mostly city riding and here in TO, I can park a scooter on the sidewalk for free and just walk away. Insurance will be cheap as well.
A bike is still in my future....most likely a cafe racer rebuild but I think I need at least a year of some form of ridership under my belt for insurance purposes.
The last few days..
Any experience or thoughts with Tuscano Urbano jackets?
Long jacket suitable for use all year round
Breathable and waterproof outer shell made from Polyamide
Inner lining made from Polyester
Removable winter padding made from Polyester
Taped seams
Reflective safety band on the neck
Removable CE approved elbow and shoulder armour
Ergonomic hood, folds into the neck
Adjustable waist
6 outer pockets, 2 inside pockets for carrying documents
Around $250 or so.
None, sorry. If I wear a jacket at all, I usually stick with leather (personal preference) but I also have a Belstaff or two for wet weather. I like the look though, but I'd probably bite the bullet and get a Roadmaster or Trialmaster.
I got a Frank thomas jacket in a Barbor International inspired style. It's dirt cheap, but does the job really good. No hood though. Why would you need a hood??
I got my new bike today - a Buell Lightning XB9SX. It was my first time riding in probably 2 or 3 years. Man, I forgot how fun that is.
Took mine into storage this weekend.
Congratulations. How do you like it so far?
Sucks dude. I clocked 300+ miles on my Fat Boy Lo (gratuitous pic below) around the Smokies and hope to ride until at least Thanksgiving.. Did you get out much this summer?
Sadly, no -- between my kids and all my drinking, rides were few and far between ...
Good. It has a Jardine exhaust, a Buell race chip, and K&N air filter on it. I put about 35 miles on this weekend - not much, but it is getting into the 40s and windy here, so I just tooled around town.
It is just fun to get on a bike again - unfortunately, I'll have a long winter of waiting now as they are forecasting snow Tuesday and Wednesday.
Nothing worse than buying a bike at the end of the riding season. I did that myself with a Street Bob that I rode a few hundred miles before having to store for the winter..
The prices are so much better now though!
I hear you. Got any pictures?
What's "winter?"
Rode the Norton to work today. 61 degrees and sunny!

DIY Karaoke Equipment Hire
Solar's karaoke is AMAZING. Just had for my daughters 30th & couldn't fault it. Dave was easy to communicate with & clear on all aspects. The equipment is brought to you, set up, explained & then picked up & I seriously think the price is excellent. Wouldn't have a party again without it unless it was in my terraced house 'cause the neighbours would definitely have something to say. Cannot recommend them enough. My daughter absolutely loved having her own karaoke party.

Dave was extremely professional, he arrived at the venue 2 hours before the party to ensure he was set up which I thought was excellent service. I particularly liked how he liased with the venue which took this pressure away from me. He had an excellent choice of music and the karaoke was such a good addition to the evening. Thank you Dave, I would most definitely use your services again.

An excellent service. I booked Solar for my birthday party. Liked that I could pick all the tunes prior to the event and offer my guests that opportunity. The karaoke songbook was the most comprehensive I've seen and was my reason for choosing this company. On the night itself Dave was all set up and ready for my guests to arrive. He was a valuable part of the fun and I definitely recommend :-)

Dave's service was highly professional, efficient and friendly. The karaoke, song books, lights and microphones were great. Dave set everything up and left me with easy instructions.

7th July 2016 The Bodega, Nottingham
We used Dave for our wedding party and, without hesitation, I would say he was a huge success! He gave us 4 hours of DJing with karaoke interspersed and we and our guests had so much fun. Dave was great value for money and so easy to deal with. We arranged all details via email and he was always courteous and interested in only providing the night we wanted. Dave set up his gear (which was fantastic for the karaoke!) and liaised himself with the venue on how to do this which, when organising a wedding, is a Godsend! We can not speak highly enough of the night provided by Dave and would recommend him to anyone for any occasion!

Thank you to Dave for a lovely night of music, karaoke and dance for my husband's party. He accommodated for all ages and very obliging. A particular huge hit with the children, they danced and sang the night away and didn't sit down all night! Will definitely recommend Solar Entertainments and will be making a booking for our 40th wedding anniversary in the near future.

Today Instagram Direct launched; now you can send images directly to one person. How will we use that in business? I suppose we can use it to pitch editors and retailers since you can send it to folks who are not following you. I could see the potential for abuse there and the possibility for those key influencers to get turned off or leave Instagram altogether. But for those you have an existing relationship with you could use it to give them instant access to new designs, events, insider tips and tricks and even some jokes. It could build a relationship more now that you can directly communicate more. We'll have to wait and see, won't we?

How old are you?How old do you feel?It seems like most online shopping sites expect you to want to dress like an 18-34 year old regardless of what your drivers' license says. But there are many who think this is bunk -- a 40+ saying if ever I heard one! According to Christina Binkford, fashion writer of the Wall Street Journal, online sellers better get with the boomer program.Are online marketers so youth-conscious -- because it feels right -- that they're ignoring lucrative markets just when they're most needed?

The demand from the boutique, fashion and accessories market is growing for finer jewelry.

This text argues that hydrologists of the 21st century must look beyond the traditional boundaries of river channel, or river catchment, areas to consider new questions: firstly, how water resources should be managed in an integrated and sustainable way with a growing appreciation of the global dimension to water resource problems; and secondly, how the search for solutions to water pollution, flooding, drought and environmental degradation requires a broader understanding of transboundary connections between components of the hydrosphere across a range of spatial and temporal scales.

Classic yakitori restaurant
For a taste of real Tokyo, this classic and rustic institution feels as if you are traveling back in time. Thanks to its charm, it would appear not much has changed from its inception in 1928. Some of the best and most reasonable yakitori (grilled meat skewers) in Tokyo and the fabulous location makes it a must. Right at the entrance of the beautiful Inokashira Park off of Kichijoji station, a popular shopping district, the smoky grilled chicken and beef skewers infuse the air with barbecued goodness, making it impossible not to stop and wait in the line forming outside this popular joint. Order a cold beer, a variety of yakitori, and definitely don't miss the oversized gyoza.

March 1998 - Vol. 17, No. 3
The Deaf President Now! movement reached many different people
in many different way, including changing the way we deaf look at
ourselves. This month, CSCDHH celebrates the 10th anniversary of
the Deaf President Now! movement.
Ten years ago, Gallaudet University was the site of a student-led protest that today is called Deaf President Now, or simply, DPN. But DPN was more than a protest. It also was a unique coming together of Gallaudet students, faculty and staff with the national deaf community-all bound by clear and defined goals. The DPN supporters believed that the time had come for a deaf person to run the world's only university for deaf and hard of hearing students. When this didn't happen, the result was a protest whose effects are still reverberating around the world today.
DPN was remarkable not only for its clear sense of purpose, cohesiveness, speed, and depth of feeling, but also for its ability to remove the barriers and erase the lines that previously separated the deaf and hearing communities. In addition, it raised the nation's consciousness of the rights and abilities of deaf and hard of hearing people.
Although the United States believed enough in deaf peoples' abilities to establish Gallaudet University in 1864, prejudices and discrimination against deaf and hard of hearing people persisted. By 1988, no one at Gallaudet doubted the ability of deaf people to do whatever they wanted to do. The big question was whether or not the administration and Board ofTrustees really believed the same thing.
When the Board announced Sunday night March 6, 1988 that the next president would not be deaf, the deaf students protested and made all the difference in the world. There is no simple answer as to why this protest succeeded, and why it did so fast. However, here are some of the factors that may have contributed to the success of the protest:
This article was summarized from the Gallaudet web site. For more information, go to http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/DPN/issues/theweek/sunmar6.html.
In the beginning
The Board of Trustees established a committee to begin the search for a new president after Dr. Jerry C. Lee resigned at the end of 1987. On February 28, 1988, the committee announced the finalists: Dr. Harvey Corson, a deaf man serving as the superintendent of the Louisiana School for the Deaf; Dr. I. King Jordan, a deaf man who was currently the dean of the University's College of Arts and Sciences; and Dr. Elisabeth Zinser, a hearing woman and assistant chancellor of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Deaf advocacy groups and organizations made it clear to the Board that they wanted the next president of Gallaudet University to be deaf.
As the momentum for a deaf president grew, letters of endorsement flooded in. Many people, including Vice-President George Bush, Senators Bob Dole and Civil Rights activist Jesse Jackson, supported the idea. The mainstream media had yet to latch on to the cause, and strangely enough, neither did the students. But that would change. March 1, 1988 was a crucial date in the history of DPN. It was the day of the first fully organized rally, the event that inspired many students to join the movement. For some, it was the first time they had even learned what the protest was all about and what it would mean for them to have a deaf president. In their flyers, organizers likened the protest to a civil rights movement, drawing parallels between the deaf community and other minority groups.
In the next few days, the protest started building up.
Day 1
6:30pm, an hour and a half earlier than expected, the Board of Trustees put out an announcement that Zinser had become the new President of Gallaudet. The students, in anger and disbelief, marched to the Board meeting to demand an explanation. Chaos soon broke out. Gallaudet Board of Trustees Chair Spilman agreed to come to the campus the next afternoon to discuss the issues further.
Day 2
Students met throughout the night debating what to do next. In the morning, they blocked the way onto as well as off the campus. Throughout the morning, the campus was alive with activity. In addition to impromptu speeches and rallies, protest leaders were meeting to formalize their demands:
1. Zinser must resign and a deaf president selected.
2. Spilman must resign from the Board
3. The percentage of deaf members on the Board of Trustees must be increased to at least 51%
4. There must be no reprisals against any of the protesters.
The protesters met with Spilman, who told the group that the Board rejected the four demands. Almost everyone walked out of the meeting. The protesters then marched to the U.S. Capitol Building.
Day 3
The University gates were re-opened and people were allowed to come and go. The students boycotted classes and attended rallies and speeches instead. At the same time, the faculty convened a meeting to discuss among themselves what to do. By this time, four students had emerged as leader of the protest: Bridgetta Bourne, Jerry Covell, Greg Hlibok and Tim Rarus. The Alumni House became the headquarters for the protest and the Deaf President Now Council. Rallies and speeches continued throughout the day eventually reaching national television, programs and newspapers.
Day 4
Elisabeth Zinser began her presidency early and hoped that her presence would help bring the protest to close. Meanwhile, many congressmen and leaders met with the deaf students to help them win their four demands. The Board refused to listen. That night Hlibok, Zinser, and deaf actress Marlee Matlin were interviewed by Ted Koppel on ABC's Nightline.
Day 5
Greg Hlibok appeared on Good Morning America. Rallies were held all day. Moral and monetary support continued to flow in from a variety of sources. Students from NTID and other deaf schools arrived to participate in the strike. I. King Jordan retracted his support for the Board and fully supported the four demands set forth by the students. That night, Zinser announced her resignation.
Day 6
With three and a half demands left, the deaf students marched to the Capitol again, where a variety of people gave speeches. At 7pm, there was another rally in the Field House.
Day 7
Saturday was a day of rest. Many people attended afternoon barbecues and all-day arts festivals.
Day 8
The Board of Trustees members met all day to decide what to do. By the evening, Jane Spilman announced in her last press conference that she had resigned, Phil Bravin would be the next chair of the Board of Trustees, a taskforce would be set up to determine a way to achieve 51% deaf majority on the Board, no reprisals, and Dr. I. King Jordan would be named the eighth president and first deaf president of Gallaudet University.
It was all over. In eight emotional, action-packed days it was over .

Deaf President Now
It's hard to believe that it is the tenth anniversary of the Deaf President Now (DPN) movement. This was a watershed event in Deaf history. An otherwise normal event, choosing a new leader for a university, mushroomed into an international media miracle. For the new president being chosen was for Gallaudet University, the nation's (indeed, the world's) only liberal arts college specifically for the deaf. In its over 100-year history, it never had a president that reflected the student body and a large percentage of the faculty. When the chair of Gallaudet's Board of Directors at that time said that the deaf were not ready to govern themselves, this inflamed the passions of deaf people all over the world. Its impact affected the community and many individual deaf, deaf-blind and hard of hearing individuals. Some of their stories you will read in this issue.
The Deaf President Now movement's greatest legacy was that it proclaimed that deaf people can and will take control of their destiny. We were tired of well-meaning hearing persons making decisions for us. We were tired of not having role models that were Deaf. We were tired of boards of non-profit agencies serving the deaf not having a majority of deaf people on the board, or even, in many cases, not even having a deaf, deaf-blind or hard of hearing person on their board! We were mad as hell, and we did not want to be oppressed anymore!
I. King Jordan, the first deaf president of Gallaudet, is still at the helm ten years later. His stewardship has ably proved that a Deaf person can lead a major university. Robert Davila, who is Deaf and Hispanic, later assumed the responsibilities for the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), the world's only technical college for the deaf. Schools for the deaf started hiring deaf superintendents (our own Larry Petersen is the acting superintendent of Washington School for the Deaf).
Non-profit agencies serving the deaf began to institutionalize policies that called for a majority of its directors reflect the community the agency serves (of the 15 members of the CSCDHH Board of Trustees, 11 are deaf or hard of hearing, for a majority of 73%; in the past, we have had deaf-blind persons on the board).
Employment of the deaf changed drastically. Before DPN, many deaf persons were in jobs traditionally reserved for the deaf, like newspaper printing jobs. Now, we have deaf lawyers (congratulations, Mike Izak!), doctors, business owners (check out the Golden Gondola, an Italian restaurant in Pt. Orchard, owned by Deaf husband and wife team, the McCays; and the Ragin' Cajun, a Cajun food restaurant owned by Danny Delcambre, a Deaf-Blind person), accountants, managers and many other professions. We have a deaf major league baseball player, Curtis Pride. We are fortunate in Seattle to have executive directors of agencies serving the deaf population that are Deaf themselves (Marilyn Smith of Abused Deaf Women's Advocacy Services, and yours truly). True, many, many deaf, deaf-blind and hard of hearing people are still unemployed and under-employed, but it is very different from ten years ago.
Attitudes have changed significantly, too. As deaf people move into, and move up, to more and more jobs, as we enter training programs, colleges and graduate schools, we become more visible. People now see us as smart and capable persons. The old phrase, "deaf and dumb" has faded away.
We should always remember Deaf President Now! and the lessons
it has taught us and millions of people all over the world.

What's Happening
Congratulations To PIP
The Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center is proud to announce that its Parent Infant Program has been selected to participate in the 1998 Partners for Progress National Forum on Family Involvement. The forum is sponsored by Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., and will be focusing on improving education for deaf and hard of hearing students. Seven model programs were selected from throughout the United States.
The 1998 Partners for Progress National Forum on Family Involvement brings together professional and parents to share strategies and materials that benefit families and their children, and to identify future directions in program development and research. The focus of the forum is on the special needs of families who do not speak English, are members of a minority group, live in rural areas, or have deaf or hard of hearing children with additional disabilities or low academic achievement.
Congratulations to PIP, another valuable resource in our
Seattle community!
KODA Corner by Holly Parker Jensen
We are pleased to announced that on April 26, 1998, we will be celebrating our first annual "Mother Father Deaf" Day. At the 1994 Children of Deaf Adults International Conference, the members unanimously passed a resolution proclaiming that Mother Father Deaf Day shall be established and celebrated annually to honor their parents for the gifts of language and culture that they had given them. The first official observance was in 1996.
There is no set way to celebrate this occasion. This day reflects our children's bicultural experience. In the hearing culture, those special days (Mother's Day and Father's Day) are usually quiet family affairs. But, in the Deaf culture, most celebrations tend to be communal. We invite you to join us and celebrate this special day. More information will be given out at a later date.
If you have any suggestions or questions, please contact Mike Buckman at (253) 432-3796 or e-mail at email@example.com.
The German movie Beyond Silence with Howie Seago and deaf
French actress Emmanuelle Laborit has been nominated in the
Oscars for Best Foreign Film. Will it win? Tune in March 23rd and
find out.
As of February 2, KOMO channel 4 has expanded the number of news shows captioned. KOMO provides real-time captioning for the following newscasts:
Monday through Friday, 5pm to 6pm, 6:30pm to 7pm, and 11pm to 11:30pm; Saturday, 5pm to 6pm and 11pm to 11:30pm; and Sunday, 9am to 11am, 5pm to 5:30pm, and 11pm to 11:30pm.
Be sure to thank KOMO for their efforts.
How often have you gone to see a movie and wished it were captioned? A new type of technology is now being experimented in theaters all over the United States. It is called the Rear Window Captioning (RWC).
I experienced this in December when I went to see Titanic in a Los Angeles theater. I was quite excited, not only because the subject was so fascinating, it was my first experience seeing a captioned movie in the theater. The captions are different from open captions or subtitles on foreign films because they are visible only to the people who use the reflector panel. The panel is about 12 inches by 3 inches and it functions very much like a car's rear view mirror (hence the name of the system, "rear window captioning").
I placed the panel in the soft drink holder, where it fit quite snugly. I adjusted it so that I could see the test captions ("Welcome to Rear Window Captioning") which were located behind me, in the rear of the theater, up high on the wall.
As Titanic began, I eagerly awaited the first captions to come on my reflector panel. Soon there were words appearing on my panel. It struck me then, how much dialogue I usually missed from going to movies without these captions. It was really an incredible feeling, to sit there and watch this movie and being able to understand everything that was happening.
Have you experienced this type of technology? Would you like to see it in the theaters? I would like to get this system set up in movie theaters in Seattle, but I need your help! You can help by writing a letter of support and sending it to me at the address below. In your letter, please indicate:
A. Your interest in this technology being used in Seattle's theaters (if you have used it before, please describe your experience with it)
B. How it would benefit you and others
Please send letters to Elizabeth Ralston 650 NW 84th Street,

The American Association of the Deaf-Blind (AADB) hosts bi-annual conferences throughout the United States. Besides meetings, in which current issues concerning deaf-blind people are discussed, it is also a big social event. Most deaf-blind are isolated as a result of mobility and communication barriers; this week-long conference represents the wonderful possiblity of a week free of isolation and communication or mobility barriers. This is possible because of a large corps of volunteers called SSPs (support service providers or interpreter/guides).
However, most deaf-blind are limited financially and cannot afford airfare to the conference or provide funds for the conference itself. There are not enough skilled SSPs in any one location to support a conference of this size in addition to giving up pay / vacation time for a week. Most SSPs are asked to pay their own way to the convention. The AADB itself is financially burdened by committing to pay for the room and board for the SSPs.
To help lighten the financial burden, American Sign Language Interpreting School of Seattle (ASLIS) is sponsoring a drive, chaired by Tim Cook, to help pay airfares to Connecticut (where the next AADB conference will be held this coming June) for pairs of deaf-blind people and SSPs. The more successful we are, the more deaf-blind people and SSPs will be able to attend the convention.
You can help by: 1) joining the committee; 2) donating any frequent flier miles you may have accumulated; 3) sending a financial donation to ASLIS (PO Box 31468, Seattle, WA 98103); or buying raffle tickets. This will literally help us get off the ground.
For more information, call Tim Cook at (206) 323-3132 (TTY) or e-mail email@example.com.

With the second edition of the tournament reaching a climax, Gruffudd Owen takes a look at how Dubai is helping pave the way for a return to international cricket in Pakistan through the Pakistan Super League
Pakistan, much like its eastern neighbour India, regards cricket as something of a national obsession.
In this diverse, vibrant country of over 200 million people, the sport's immense popularity is enduring.
The national cricket team have been crowned champions of both the Cricket World Cup and the World Twenty20, while the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shahid Afridi – some of the most distinguished players to have donned the famous green shirt – are household names not just at home, but around the world.
All of which made the staging of the inaugural Pakistan Super League (PSL) in 2016, a Twenty20 tournament featuring five professional franchises, an eminently sensible decision.
With the game's leading stars drafted in for a month of thrilling, fast-paced cricket, the competition was virtually guaranteed to be a hit domestically.
Television viewing figures would be in their millions, while a whole new generation of Pakistanis would be inspired to take up the sport, boosting the national team's prospects in the long term.
There was one major problem, however: the location.
Security concerns denied Pakistan the opportunity to host matches, meaning an alternative site was needed if the tournament was to go ahead.
With its world-class amenities, excellent infrastructure and its relative proximity to Pakistan, Dubai was the obvious choice to assume the mantle. The Emirate certainly hasn't disappointed either.
The state-of-the-art 30,000-seater Dubai International Cricket Stadium was the venue for the majority of matches during the 2016 season, including the final (nearby Sharjah staged the rest of the matches), and PSL organisers have been so impressed by the city's hosting capabilities that the second edition of the competition is back again this year, with 13 matches taking place in the Emirate in total.
For Azhar Mahmood – one of the most recognisable Pakistani cricketers of his generation and the current bowling coach of the Karachi Kings PSL franchise – this decision was a no-brainer.
"We are playing cricket at home," he says.
"Dubai is a 'home' for us. It has some of the best facilities in this part of the world. It's been brilliant so far.
"From a bowling point of view, I think bowlers will enjoy playing at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium because there is a bigger boundary for them in T20 competition. I think it's a wonderful ground."
Splendid though Dubai's foremost cricket ground may be, this is not to say that it is the only world-class cricket attraction in the city.
The ICC Academy – located a stone's throw away in Dubai Sports City – is fast emerging as one of the world's top cricket centres, inviting several club and national sides to make use of its ultra-modern facilities every year.
Unsurprisingly, this offer has been taken up this season by a number of the PSL franchises – including Mahmood's Karachi Kings.
"The ICC Academy is amazing," he says.
"You can find all types of pitches at the nets here. The facilities are a lot more suitable for coaches and players compared to those at Sharjah."
It's not just the players who are benefitting either. With tickets generously priced between AED30 and 250, the tournament has been made affordable for all cricket fans based in the city, allowing them to catch a glimpse of genuine superstars including Brendon McCullum, Kumar Sangakkara and Kevin Pietersen in action.
Ultimately, the PSL's aim is to bring the competition back to Pakistan, and tentative steps have already been taken with the announcement that this year's final will be held in Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium.
However, there is no doubting the role that Dubai has played both in promoting this nascent competition worldwide and in helping restore the image of Pakistani cricket – a role it is well placed to resume for years to come.
The third PSL 2017 playoff takes place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday 3 March

3 Reasons Why A/B Testing Case Studies You Read Suck Big Time
I hear it over and over again when speaking to our clients and prospects: "We did some A/B testing of the CTA color and the social sharing buttons, because we read about it in a case study and it gave great results". Then I ask if it failed. Yes, it did. Not a surprise.
If you let your company follow the "read a case study" -> "copy the testing ideas" -> "fail" routine, you will soon be out of business. Testing out ideas found on the Internet (or worse – implementing them right away) is a common mistake among beginners. There are three reasons why you shouldn't utilize every best practice you find on the web.
1. Most case studies are not backed-up with absolute numbers
The case studies you come across on the web mostly contain two metrics: the percentage of conversion rate growth and the statistical confidence level. But relative metrics are not enough! You can't tell if the results are plausible unless you know the absolute number of conversions and users that took part in the experiment. It's really rare to find these figures in a case study. For example, this case study of landing page optimization from WhichTestWon.com is not credible in my opinion, since it lacks absolute numbers (despite the fact you are expected to pay to see it!).
Keep in mind that relative metrics like percentage of conversion rate growth are not enough. You need absolute number of conversions and users to decide if the A/B testing case study is credible.
So why does this happen? Well, when you don't provide the actual numbers, it's easier to portray a result that will draw attention to your case study, with headlines such as "110% conversion rate growth by changing two words in headline", and you can be sure that nobody will be able to disprove it. That means more pageviews / downloads for the author. Even if the statistical confidence level is said to be 95% or more, it cannot actually be checked.
Lesson number one: if an A/B testing case study lacks absolute numbers, don't trust it.
2. Best practices are often based on random results (and are therefore nonsense)
Some people are nice enough to enhance their case studies with screenshots from A/B testing tools, like James did in this post on the Crazy Egg blog (you need to open it via archive.org since they deleted it after I published this article). The tool showed that the results are statistically significant, but the number of conversions are 15 for version A and 24 for version B. This makes the results totally random and no one should ever draw any conclusions from them.
If the number of conversions per version is lower than 100, you shouldn't draw any conclusions from it. Unfortunately, some of the case studies authors write best practices based on random results. Don't apply them!
That is because firstly, you should get at least 100 conversions per version to be in any way confident about the results. And secondly, at least one whole business cycle of your company should be covered, which means that the test should run for at least 14 days. Of course, depending on the industry, this may even be way longer. Before you proclaim any best practices based on any test, you should get at least 100 conversions per version (and be sure the results are statistically significant). How does 17 and 24 compare to that?
Unfortunately, the author of the blog post mentioned above seems to lack even any basic knowledge of statistics. But still, he came up with 3 golden rules for writing compelling headlines. However, I really hope not many marketers have started A/B testing their copy based on this, because these kinds of tips may be really harmful to conversion rate.
The fact is that the stats engines in A/B testing tools cannot always be trusted. If the absolute difference between two challengers equals to 9 conversions, stating 95% confidence level is totally wrong. The same applies to any tips, conclusions or best practices built on the foundation of experiments of this kind.
You need absolute numbers and time to make test results trustworthy. So before you start or analyse your next A/B test, make sure you read this great article by Peep Laja on statistical significance and validity in testing. It will also help you understand better why you shouldn't trust case studies with such low numbers of conversions.
Lesson number two: don't apply best practices from A/B tests with less than 100 conversions per variation or you could harm your business.
3. Authors don't explain why they tested certain hypotheses
Finally, you must have in mind that every website and business is unique. This is why you need to understand the logic behind any experiment you read about in a case study. Most authors do not provide information about the research they have conducted, how they found the problems and why they thought it important to test it.
To make an assessment about whether you should follow any concept presented in a case study and test the same element on your website, you need to know why the author made the calls he or she did. Unless you are sure that the context is similar to your business, you shouldn't just copy the testing idea. Otherwise you will probably end up with a conversion rate decrease.
Lesson number three: don't copy a testing idea from a case study unless you are sure it applies to your unique situation
How to get the best out of A/B testing case studies?
You should treat any A/B testing case studies you come across on the web as an inspiration for your own analysis. They should just be a starting point for analysis and research, not a signal to start testing right away. So if you see something that has worked out well in a case study, dig into your Google Analytics, conduct usability testing or run some onsite polls to check if a similar problem exists on your own website. If there is, then you can move to the phase of tackling it with the solutions covered in the case study.
If you manage a team that is responsible for conversion rate optimization, please don't get fooled by any statement that "we have read an article and we want to test that out". Always ask about absolute numbers, real statistical confidence of results (not just the ones shown by the tools) and the context of the test that they have read about and are so eager to copy.
Protect your company from applying the best practices based on clumsy A/B tests. Stay away from posts like the one from the Crazy Egg blog that I mentioned above. Because following tips based on microscopic changes in conversion rates will do your business more harm than good.

Cause Marketing Advice
Brian Reich at Cone has written this helpful series of profiles on the following cause marketing initiatives:
- Alliance for Climate Protection (Al Gore's project)
- "Start!" — a campaign of the American Heart Assn to combat adult inactivity
- Timberland's multi-faceted integration of philanthropic objectives into business practices
- Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign aimed at improving the self-esteem of teen girls
The article also links to this media release on the 2007 Cone Cause Evolution Survey.
Surprise, surprise … more than ever, consumers say that pro-social business behavior is important to their purchase decisions. And as employees, people want to see their companies act responsibly … and visibly so.
Some different numbers from the survey struck The Agitator though:
- 22% have used the internet to engage in grassroots activism
- 37% have gone online in search of issue information
- 38% have forwarded issue messages to family and friends
Reich's article is pretty basic … best for beginners taking a first look at cause marketing.
