Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Hosts R&D Day on Pipeline of RNAi Therapeutics
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) is hosting a Research & Development (R&D) Day today in New York to discuss its emerging pipeline of RNAi therapeutics that leverage the Company's proprietary Targeted RNAi Molecule (TRiM™) platform. In addition to senior members of the Arrowhead team, the R&D Day includes, Ira J. Goldberg, M.D., Bronfman Professor of Medicine, Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, New York University Langone School of Medicine.
Presentations will begin at 1:00 p.m. EDT. A live and archived webcast of the event, with slides, may be accessed on the Events and Presentations page under the Investors section of the Arrowhead website.
Chris Anzalone, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, said: "We have made great progress since we unveiled our proprietary TRiM™ platform just a year ago. Our first two candidates, ARO-AAT and ARO-HBV, have advanced into clinical studies with speed and precision and the initial data have been very promising. In addition, our ability to target extrahepatic tissues is expanding. This now includes lung, tumor, and today we will show initial data demonstrating good knockdown in multiple muscle types. With this validation and the forthcoming capital from the ARO-HBV partnership with Janssen, we confidently enter the next phase of rapid growth for Arrowhead. Looking forward, we expect to accomplish the following: file 2-3 new CTAs every year; target a new cell type with the TRiM™ platform every 18 months; and, have 10 TRiM™ enabled candidates in clinical studies by the end of 2020."
Select R&D Day Highlights
ARO-APOC3 is designed to reduce production of Apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), a component of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLs) including very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons and is a key regulator of triglyceride metabolism. The company believes that knocking down the hepatic production of apoC-III may result in enhanced triglyceride metabolism and clearance of VLDL and chylomicron remnants. Elevated triglyceride levels are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Severely elevated triglycerides (often over 2,000 mg/dL) in patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), a rare genetic disorder, can result in potentially fatal, acute pancreatitis. Arrowhead has conducted work in multiple preclinical models, including in transgenic mice, cynomolgus monkeys (cynos), and high fructose fed rhesus monkeys that suggest ARO-APOC3 strongly reduces the liver production of apoC-III and has a desired effect on serum triglyceride levels. The company will present additional data, including liver biopsy measurements in cynos, in an oral presentation at the American Heart Association (AHA) meeting on November 12, 2018. In addition, a CTA filing is planned for late 2018 to request approval to begin a Phase 1, single and multiple ascending dose study in heathy volunteers and in patients with elevated triglycerides.
ARO-ANG3 is designed to reduce production of angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), a liver synthesized inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase and endothelial lipase. ARO-ANG3 is being developed for the treatment of dyslipidemias and metabolic diseases. ANGPTL3 inhibition has been shown to lower serum LDL, serum and liver triglyceride and has genetic validation as a novel target for cardiovascular disease. In multiple animal models, ARO-ANG3 led to deep ANGPTL3 knockdown in both Western diet or chow-fed mice and significant improvements in lipid parameters. A CTA was recently filed to begin AROANG1001, a Phase 1 single and multiple dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effect of ARO-ANG3 in adult healthy volunteers and dyslipidemic patients. The study is designed to enroll up to 70 subjects. Arrowhead will also present additional data at the AHA meeting on November 12, 2018.
Targeted RNAi Molecule Platform (TRiM™)
Arrowhead's Targeted RNAi Molecule platform, or TRiM™, utilizes ligand-mediated delivery and is designed to enable multi-tissue targeting, while being structurally simple. TRiM™ represents an evolution in RNAi therapeutics from biologic complexity to small molecule precision and execution. It was designed to optimize potency, activity, durability, and safety. Important differentiators of the TRiM™ platform include:
TRiM™ platform demonstrates versatility for both hepatic and
extrahepatic targets
- Potency, activity, durability and safety
- Speed and high success rates
Hepatocyte targets
- Expertise in RNAi chemistry and biology
- We have yet to encounter a hepatocyte gene that we could not knock down effectively and with a wide therapeutic index
Extrahepatic targets
- Requires all TRiM™ platform modules to be fully optimized
- Expertise in uncovering ligand/receptor pairs
- Expertise in ligand designs to enable maximal uptake through endocytosis
- Successful extrahepatic, systemic delivery of RNAi triggers via IV and subcutaneous administrations in ccRCC
- Expanding extrahepatic capabilities to now include delivery to the lung, tumor, and muscle tissue
ARO-ENaC Gen 1
ARO-ENaC is designed to reduce production of the epithelial sodium channel alpha subunit (αENaC) in the airways of the lung. In cystic fibrosis patients, increased ENaC activity contributes to airway dehydration and reduced mucociliary transport. ENaC inhibitors promise a genotype-agnostic therapeutic approach for potentially all CF patients, including those with Class I mutations that produce no CFTR protein. Inhaled small molecule inhibitors transiently improve lung mucociliary clearance, but they are rapidly absorbed and systemic exposure results in renal ENaC inhibition and hyperkalemia. Inhalation of aerosolized ARO-ENaC Gen 1 selectively and durably silences ENaC mRNA expression in the rat lung while sparing the kidney. In addition, improved mucociliary clearance was observed in sheep two weeks after inhalation of aerosolized ARO-ENaC Gen 1. Work on a next-generation ARO-ENaC is focused on further increasing potency to produce in vivo clearance increases similar to short-acting small molecule ENaC inhibitors. A CTA is planned for ARO-ENaC in 2019. The platform may also be adapted to additional therapeutic targets in the pulmonary epithelium, particularly those that are currently inaccessible to traditional small molecule or antibody approaches.
ARO-HIF2 is designed to inhibit the production of HIF2α, which has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis, for the treatment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Arrowhead believes it is an attractive target for intervention because most ccRCC tumors express a mutant form of the Von Hippel-Landau protein that is unable to degrade HIF-2α, leading to its accumulation during tumor hypoxia and promoting tumor growth. ARO-HIF2 has demonstrated effective tumor delivery and deep HIF2α mRNA knockdown in tumors. In addition, ARO-HIF2 led to inhibition of tumor growth and improved overall survival in tumor models. Initial rat exploratory toxicity studies predict that ARO-HIF2 may have a wide safety margin. Additional data is planned to be presented as a late-breaking poster at the EORTC/AACR/NCI symposium being held November 13-16, 2018. A CTA is planned for ARO-HIF2 in 2019.
About Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.

The focus for the team is to play a full game at 100 percent. It's a lofty standard, to say the least, but Rich Modesti feels his team is getting closer to the target.
However, there has been one glitch so far this season for the boy's lacrosse team at Thompson Valley High School, and that's been the start of the third quarter. On Saturday afternoon, the malfunction lasted all of 5:35 on the clock at Patterson Stadium, but the damage was severe — five goals in that span for visiting Lewis-Palmer and a 13-12 loss as a result.
"We just had a small letdown at the beginning of the third quarter the past couple of games," Modesti said, his team now 1-2 on the season. "We identify that as an issue we need to deal with. I think we kind of slowed down a little bit, weren't fully prepared to play as hard as we could right at the beginning. Our overall goal was to play hard for the whole game. That letdown was really a difference maker. Without that, it's a three-goal game in our favor."
For the most part, Thompson Valley's offense functioned pretty well, but the Eagles also ended up playing from behind most of the game. After spotting the Rangers the first two goals of the game, Thompson Valley tied up the score with goals from Brian McGhie and Michael Murray just 16 seconds apart. But before the frame was over, Lewis-Palmer had broken the tie and played with the lead the rest of the day.
Most of the time, it was a slim margin. But those five goals to start the third — the first three from Kyle Anderson — would turn out to be key, especially with the way Ranger goalie Grant Osterlund was playing.
He spent most of the afternoon turning away shots, many of them tough and close in. And even when the Eagles would get a ball past him, Eric Hoghteling had that sinking feeling of ringing the post three times, twice in a row in the first half.
"He's the reason why we run the defense we run," LPHS coach Alan Smith said, his team now 1-1. "He's going to be our backbone this year and next year. I can't say enough about the kid. He's awesome, he's amazing and a good teammate, as well."
Thompson Valley's Nik Clinton found the magic spot, however, though it was even a bit of a shock to him. Camped out to Osterlund's right, Clinton had three straight goals from a sharp angle that appeared to have no chance at success, yet turned out to be high percentage bullets.
Modesti said it comes from a lot of offseason work from Clinton, who also adds a bit of belief helps the cause.
"Probably the best reason for that is coach has kind of given me the mindset I can hit whatever I want to shoot, but I have to know myself I can shoot that," said Clinton, who led all players with five tallies. "So I go home and I shoot those shots every day, 10-15 minimum every day, over and over until I can get them in a row. Hopefully in a game, they work out like they did."
The Eagles twice drew to within one goal with 5 minutes remaining, but the third goal of the game from Lewis-Palmer's Tyler Pope at the 2:07 mark offered a cushion, and Thompson Valley's final goal came with just 1 second left.
"That's a hard one," Clinton said. "We've been learning that we need to play 100 percent for 48 minutes. In the past, our teams have played 100 percent, 2 minutes here, 2 minutes there. We've been trying to get that. I feel (the third was) the only point we didn't play 100 percent."

The Annual Business Meeting of the North Sea Commission (NSC) took place in Assen (NL) on 18th June and was hosted by the Drenthe Province.
During the debates, participants focused on the NSC 2020 strategy which includes different strategic priorities such as managing maritime space, increasing accessibility and clean transport, tackling climate change, developing attractive and sustainable communities and promoting innovation, excellence and sustainability, as a horizontal priority.
Members of the North Sea Commission signed the "Assen Declaration" which asks the forthcoming Dutch Presidency of the European Union to take a leading role in driving the process for closer strategic cooperation between the member states and Norway on the North Sea Agenda. The Netherlands will hold the EU presidency from January to June 2016 and these priorities are not dissimilar to those mentioned in the Dutch visionary document North Sea 2050 Spatial Agenda presented last year. This report makes connections between the North Sea's future opportunities and existing developments and challenges.
Nicolas Brookes, represented the CPMR secretariat during the work held in Assen focusing on the current activities in the field of cohesion, maritime affairs and accessibility and the interaction between the CPMR and its Geographical Commissions.
The Annual Business Meeting of the North Sea Commission (NSC) was organised at the same time with the North Sea Conference, a top level event that brought together over 600 participants.
During the North Sea Conference, the NSC arranged two political workshops, the North Sea Commission for beginners and Revision of the North Sea Region 2020.

Designing For Bite-sized Learning. After identifying a training need, learning designers often think of the solution as a "program"—the classroom experience, the online courses, and the Learning Management System to organize it all.
While robust programs might be best for certain projects, leaving out the in-between "snack times" could mean missed opportunities to engage and reinforce learning. Microlearning, also called "bite-sized learning," is great strategy for helping learners solve real problems or keeping the them connected to the topic long-term. Bite-sized learning was the topic at our February 2015 Collaborative Learning Network session. As always, the versatile professionals from a mix of industries—healthcare, creative agencies, government programs, and education—helped the topic come alive.
We spent 90 minutes defining microlearning, looking at examples, and sharing our own experiences with it as learners and designers. The sessions aren't meant to be presentations. What is "bite-sized learning"? What is the cost of an eLearning course? - Infographic. Custom e-Learning course don't have a single set cost because every course is unique in regard to its requirements, content, and the need of the learners it serves.

Customers demand more and more from support staff every day and they are required to make decisions, solve problems, handle difficult customers and communicate with professionals at all levels. This 2-day interactive course will help prepare them for any and all new demands thrown their way.
The workshop will teach delegates all the skills they need to communicate positively and professionally with both internal and external customers via telephone and / or e-mail. Participants will learn e-mail structure and etiquette and will leave the workshop able to create e-mail messages that are positive, professional, clear, and concise.
Who should attend?
- Customer service representatives
- Receptionists and Frontline staff
- Call centre agents
- Everyone in your organisation who deals with customers, whether internal or external
- Debt collectors
- Office support staff
Effective E-mail communication:
Are your employees able to communicate effectively in writing? Your frontline staff are the face of your company, so when they are composing e-mail responses, you want the communication to be professional and create a positive customer experience.
Customers today demand world-class service.
Customers will reward companies that provide world-class service by remaining loyal and they will take their business elsewhere if service is mediocre. Every single employee in your company who deals with customers contributes to the image of your company and they are the face and voice of your company. Organisations realise the value front-line employees bring to provide world-class customer service.

roll up for the mystery tour...
waldorf schools
the bizarre tale of rudolf "stardust" steiner & the spiders from mars
"making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
like a leper messiah...
Ziggy played guitar"
david bowie / ziggy stardust
In case you can't read the print on the book cover below, it says Spiritualism, Madame Blavatsky, and Theosophy: An Eyewitness View of Occult History by Rudolf Steiner. The reason the author is important to our purposes in today's outing is that Steiner (pictured at the right) was also the founder of a little number called Anthroposophy, referred to in the right-panel (stage down-a-tad) text, which is taken from the official site of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, of which there are currently 800 internationally, with 150 in North America, and seven within a 30-mile radius of where I sit tonight typing this as a public service to an unsuspecting world. The question is (aside from an unnatural fondness for run-on sentences): Why? Well, because Rudolf Steiner -- whose notions about education, and much else, are revered and applauded here in Boulder, CO, Land of the Free -- was, in point of fact, a seriously deluded head case. Don't believe me? Read on...
There's a lot going on here, so try to keep up. First of all, the article quoted above is titled Is Waldorf Education Christian?. Gee, I wonder why anyone would wonder if Waldorf schools, founded by Rudolf Steiner, were Christian? I mean, sure, compared to Sufism, Buddhism, Taoism and Tinfoilhatism, Christianity is embarrassingly passé. But come on. Some people are so paranoid! Second, what's all this about "Theosophy"? Well, it turns out that Rudy was a Theosophist until 1913 or thereabouts, when he got cheesed off at Annie Bessant, who had taken over for The Madame after she prematurely discorporated a decade short of fin-de-siècle (and several bricks shy of a load), and had, with the help of some other dude who was very likely gay as a pagan maypole, dug up this East Indian pretty-boy whom we would later come to know (those of us who did) as Krishnamurti. Krishnamurti was supposed to be the new messiah. They raised him to believe he was, anyway, and packed his head with some of the weirdest shit you can imagine (some taste of which I'm attempting to convey here). However, possibly third, when it came time for Krishnamurti to take over as Messiah, he threw the match, telling people, basically, don't follow leaders / watch your parking meters, and more basically, that he wasn't any messiah, didn't believe in em, and more basically still, that he wasn't having any. This tasteless display of independent thought cast Theosophy into quite the little dither, as you can imagine. The cheek! Third or fourth, depending, why was it called Theosophy? Aha! Here's where my research (funded, yes, by your generous donations cough) has borne yet more interesting fruit (no reflection on the method of Krishnamurti's conscription). Could it possibly be because a certain 16th century manuscript titled The Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians was penned by one Henricus Madanathus Theosophus? Hmmm? Makes you wonder, doesn't it? In fact, that's Henricus up there on the book cover, tokin on that big ol spliff. But the point of all this -- one of them at any rate; so many conclusions beg to be drawn -- is that Rudy was, that's right, get this...
"As we enter upon this study, the true and original mission of the Buddha becomes clear to us. We find by occult investigation that the beings on Mars who correspond to men on Earth -- they are of course of quite a different nature, but for the moment let us call them "Mars men" -- at a certain time in their evolution were in a similar condition of need as were the Earth men in the Fourth Post-Atlantean period when the Christ had to come to them. And as Christ became a Saviour and an Awakener to Life, as that was a mission for the Christ in regard to Earth humanity, so is it a further mission for that Bodhisattva after he became the Buddha, to be a Saviour and Redeemer of Mars men. He has to accomplish on Mars an event similar to the event that the Christ had to bring to fulfillment on Earth.And why give M. Scott Peckerwood all the credit for a "scientific method" of dealing with demonic possession? Steiner was there way before him! He alternately called Anthroposophy "spiritual science." Here's a terrific example...
The "I" in the foregoing (my emphasis, obviously), returns us to our first quote (to the right of that old bat, Blavatsky, stage up). Except in the book I'm holding in my hands right now, the one on Esoteric Christianity, everywhere it says "the I" above, in my version it says "the ego." As in:
"Something had to come that transcends the astral,
and this is the ego."
And again:
"Through this impulse, the ego is to become supreme..."
So now we can "translate" that first quote about Waldorf Education. Here's what it's really trying to say:
Anthroposophy maintains that each individual human being
has a spiritual core, or ego, and that this ego is in a
continuous process of becoming, of evolving in freedom through
spiritual activity toward ever greater narcissism.
It is my contention, demonstrated fairly well here I think, that the New Age, of which Steiner is a shining pillar, is not merely fucked in part -- say, due to some of the more weirdball practices it's so easy to make fun of -- but that it is fucked in toto (and your little dog, too!), from the ground up and the sky down. As above so below. And it is my contention, moreover, that narcissism is not merely an unfortunate error on the part of those Seekers a bit too zealous in their lofty pursuit of "self-knowledge," but that it is the very goal and grail of all this self-important self-referential self-absorbedly numinous Gnostic Nosferatu-lookalike New Age horse shit.

The following is from a new book (August 2003) by the same guy I quoted in the previous post, Walter Truett Anderson. The book is titled The Next Enlightenment: Integrating East and West in a New Vision of Human Evolution. As he says below [p. 180], and in the previous pages, he's largely a fan of the New Age. However...
"On the negative side, it has been a vast fountain of trivialization, commercialization, sloppy thinking, and general smarminess.
Despite the author's fair-mindedness on the overall
subject (more than I'm inclined to muster), there will
inevitably be those who resent what he says above.

"so let us not talk falsely now
the hour is getting late..."
dylan / all along the watchtower
There was an ancient forest somewhere on the Northwest coast. She loved to visit this place, she said, because of how it made her feel. On entering it for the first time, she told me, a powerful thought came unbidden into her head: "Nothing false can enter here."
I was supposed to be impressed. I was impressed. It would be several years before I wondered: what would make someone think that?
Falsity is a big concern these latter days. A certain shakiness as to the putative ground of both personality and reality. A certain gushy-if-gunshy wonderment as to whether they might not, in fact indistinguishable from fiction, amount to the same thing.
You make things up, she said. You imagine things. How could I disagree? And what else is new? What else is even marginally interesting?
Postmodernism has taken all the fun out of calling someone a lying son of a (and/or) bitch. Because who is to really say what's true? Split to infinity, the truth is no longer The Truth, but rather, ohmygod, relative. Because ohmygod, relativism and all that, you know? And, by a certain cadre of those saying ohmygod the loudest, this impasse is glossed and made more palatable (to the congenitally stupid) as "My Truth" and "Your Truth." Still capitalized (so to speak), in spirit if not typographically. Let me suggest a new term for the impulse underlying this novel holding action against the already-over-and-done-with meltdown of unequivocal conceptual categories: i.e., micromodernism. A way to preserve a soupçon of certainty after Heisenberg. A way to pretend that the Enlightenment wasn't just for rich white uptight-outta-sight overeducated Northern European males, and yet fully endorse multiculturalism. No, even better: a way to remain Medieval, yet still appear hip. In a manner of speaking.
I made some awful pun the other day when Selene and I were cruising around looking for wroffle CDs, "wroffle" being a term of her own coinage, which she has asked me to propagate. It means something like ultracool. You're supposed to think ROFL when you hear it, but only the initiated get it. Thus are whole cultures constructed.
"That's not so funny," she said. Because I was laughing at my own bon mot. Too hard, she thought. She often tells me I'm not funny for this reason.
"It's funny to me," I say. "It's My Funny even if it's not Your Funny. You know, like My Truth and Your Truth."
She laughs. I've subjected her to the latter rap more than once, so she hears the caps immediately. Selene is spookily smart for a 13-year-old. For that matter, she's spookily smart for a 45-year-old. I'd much rather talk with her than with most purported adults. "My Funny" has now been added to our semi-private-language lexicon. Oh Bride of Wittgenstein, we do your bidding! Or, apropos The Real Difficulty:
But uh... to return to our main theme, we're talking here about The Real, The True, The Authentic. Because The Authentic = Nothing False. Where nothing false can enter, what has entered must, ergo, be true. Not necessarily as in "baby, baby, ooo-ooo-ooo be true..." But not necessarily not, either.
Now here is the main thing that I want to say: when I hear the word authentic, I reach for my revolver. I'm busy 24 hours a day.
Heidegger, in Being On Time (which I have, it goes without saying, never read; I'm always late), wrote a shitload about authenticity, as 11,400 google hits eloquently attest ("to affirm to be correct, true, or genuine" says The American Heritage Dictionary; "relatively speaking," we hasten to add.) Later, Heidegger was found to be a Nazi. Coincidence? You be the judge.
Now extending our premise one step further, we arrive at...
And its painfully obvious correlate...
Thus, getting blown out of your skull on marijuana, peyote, psilocybin, ibogaine, ayahuasca/yage, etc. is not only considered healthy -- certainly more healing than smoking a cigarette (unless it's an American Spirit like the Indians all smoke) -- but it has become an intrinsic element of Transpersonal "Psychology" (about which aberration much more later). Please understand that I intend no moral indictment here of getting blown out of your skull. Go ahead, cram your bong with DMT, see if I care. Just don't hand me this "healing" bullshit. I already tried that route to mental health. Made me what I am today.
What I'm lumbering toward here is that "healthy" is today one of those many suspect words, whose semantics have been twisted approximately 180 degrees in the Newspeak of New Age Narcissism. My current favorites are "healthy selfishness" (popularized by "The Founder of the Self-Esteem Movement" and onetime Ayn Rand sex-toy Nathaniel Branden (see also Nathaniel Daniel's Annual Spaniel Manual), "healthy narcissism" (popularized by Self Psychology founder Heinz "Fifty-Seven Varieties" Kohut ), and "healthy spirituality" (from, among others, the Textbook of Transpersonal Psychiatry and Psychology; see also The Association for the Promotion of Barking at the Moon).
Here's an informal snapshot of some similar phrases and their google hit counts, with my favorites linked to the actual searches. Keep in mind that google doesn't really respect the quotes, so there are an indeterminate number (i.e., I didn't determine it) of false positives. Also note that my google porn filter may be a bit more forgiving than yours. Honni soit qui mal y pense.
I want to end this with a quote of a quote from The Upstart Spring: Esalen and the American Awakening by Walter Truett Anderson, which is out of print -- either fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view (I mean, it's an excellent book, but I'm writing one myself on some roughly overlapping themes, and I'm not half so convinced as Truett Anderson that any awakening occurred). Yes, well anyway. It requires some setup. So in December 1973, Esalen put on a conference called "Spiritual and Therapeutic Tyranny: The Willingness to Submit." The reason for this particular theme was that Esalen and its various influences and offshoots were getting a bad rep in some quarters (like among the sane) for a sort of none too groovy, none too Aquarian let's say, crypto-mystical fascism. However, if the point was to assuage such fears, the pow-wow seriously backfired. Here's the quote-within a quote...
"The most influential piece of media coverage that resulted from it was Peter Marin's 'The New Narcissism' in Harper's. Marin was not positive about the conference itself ('beneath the ruffled but still reasonable surface of the crowd lay a hysteria that would in other settings take on any one of several forms, none of them pretty'); he was deadly on est; and he did not see that est's shortcomings were noticeably different from those of the human potential movement in general. Indeed, he found est to be 'in many ways the logical extension of the whole human potential movement of the past decade. The refusal to consider moral complexities, the denial of history and a larger community, the disappearance of the Other, the exaggerations of the will...' He found in the movement only a sterile rejection of society, a preoccupation with the needs of the self, self-love, narcissism."So to close with our opening theme, remember:

Dean & Cluetrain Turn Tide
This is from "The Marketing of the President 2004," which appeared on the "Basline Project Management Center" website a couple weeks ago. The quote is not on the first page, so if you want more context, click on the "printer-friendly" (gag me with a spoon) version.
Many of the campaign's principles have been developed in books such as David Weinberger's Small Pieces Loosely Joined, which explores the role of individuals connected by the Internet; The Cluetrain Manifesto, by Weinberger, Doc Searls and Christopher Locke, which describes how to think of the way markets work in the online world; and Smart Mobs, by Howard Rheingold.

One of the challenges our team have had to face this year is creating Olympic themed marketing materials, without encroaching on the Olympic branding guidelines.
To protect the value of the Olympic and London 2012 brands, the guidelines are extremely strict - the use of any of the Games' Marks is only permitted with the authorisation of London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) and is generally reserved for licensees and sponsors.
Our client Teignbridge Council was keen to celebrate the Olympic Torch being carried into Teignmouth and the activities in the town that were planned alongside this. Big Wave were asked to create a flyer and two banners for the event and were supplied with some imagery (including a picture of the torch), which the client had been supplied by the Olympic Committee. We produced a design working in line with the branding guidelines to ensure no infringement and using the picture of the torch and logo as supplied to Teignbridge District Council (TDC) by the Olympic Committee.
While the committee supplied the image and logo TDC still could not reference the Olympics, use the icons or terminology that had been trademarked around it.
The client approached us about the flyer at the end of April and working to our set Service Level Agreement (SLA) we got the first proof of the flyer to our client within four working days. TDC then had to get everything checked by the Olympic Brand Committee, which took 10 days. By this time, it was urgent to get it amended and turned around for the 20th May - the day the torch relay was entering Teignmouth.
The amended proof was completed within one working day and the design of the flyer was signed off by TDC on the 14th May and we then designed two banners using a similar design. The banners were turned around in record time; designed, approved and amended within 3 days to have them ordered on the 17th May for arrival by the 20th May.
Teignbridge Council were really pleased with the result, saying:
"Thanks for pulling out all the stops and getting the designs sorted under such pressured deadlines. The banners and leaflets were awesome - way better than other local authority designs."
This shows that it is possible to create successful marketing materials to promote your Olympic events - you just need to follow the guidelines!
To help you understand the Olympic branding guidelines we've put together a handy Reference Sheet. We would suggest anyone looking to run any events in connection with the Olympics to contact the Olympic branding team direct www.london2012.com/brandprotection

|This article is about the character. You may be looking for the episode.
Robot Randy is an automaton from a foreign planet, whose starring role was in his self-titled episode. He is voiced by late Peter Fernandez.
His wish not to destroy made him an outcast to his fellow robots. He puts on a face of superiority, calling himself the "most powerful robot in the universe," but still finds himself to be a failure to his people. Secretly, he is an incredible whittler, specializing in reindeer sculptures, though he doesn't believe this hobby is worthwhile. He can also breakdance. His voice is styled after the actor Christopher Walken.
A pacifist in a society of violent robots, Randy was an object of ridicule among his clan. After excessive failure in the explosion department, he was sent to conquer Earth in order to redeem his honor. Once on the planet, he enslaved the residents of a farmhouse, forcing them to build statues of him. However, he was internally conflicted, as he did not wish to hurt others, but instead to whittle reindeer. The next day, a falling out between Eustace and Courage caused the statues to be destroyed, and so he punished the farmer and his wife. In the mean time, Courage challenged him to a dance competition to save them, which he won. Randy released his slaves, but realized that this confirmed his status as a failure. Fortunately, Muriel helped him see that his carving abilities made him too talented for petty destruction, and upon return to his planet, he was accepted for his skills (Ep.14-2).
- "I don't wanna destroy things."
- "I'm going to name you Ivana. That's a good reindeer name."
- "I'm such a failure."
- Season 1 opening sequence (cameo)
Season 2
- Robot Randy (debut)
Season 4
- The Nutcracker (action figure)
- Swindlin' Wind (cameo)
- Like Schwick, he is one of the antagonists featured in the Season One opening, despite appearing in Season Two.
- His voice sounds similar to the actor Christopher Walken;
- Though he doesn't like to destroy things, he did shoot the Bagge's house when Eustace entered, but only because Eustace ignored his warnings;
- He is the only one of his species to be coloured red, blue and yellow; while the rest are coloured green, blue and yellow. He seems to be the shortest too, perhaps the youngest of his kind.

Art + Design Lab for November 2013 brought teens into the Museum for exploration of the topic "We Are What Is Not: Absence, Erasures, and the Unvisible." As a participant and informal archivist of the program, I spent time alongside artist-educators Emmy Bright and Julia Gualtieri and students considering how to represent the occlusion and exposure of this month.
Prior to the last session, I drafted a narrative of my own experiences which was then altered, edited, and redacted by the teens. Writing a document intended for revision was an exciting process, as edits would take shape without any of my oversight. Originally uniform photocopies, the newly speculative, collaborative products returned to me translated into new forms of exposure and occlusion. These redactions to my original story fuse practice and representation; reflect visual and narrative dialogue between participants, object, and process; and illustrate how narrative can be more fully realized through collaboration.
Rachel Shipps is an MA student in Public Humanities at Brown University.

Da Lawn
Well beginning near the sward. Its terribly grave to have a thick, full-bodied prairie. Why? My girl the stage association football and I contraction all circumstance she gets knocked down. (I ne'er commendation when she knocks human other behind.) When kids kick up your heels on your lawn, or when senior residents stroll in it, a three-ply lawn protects their husk and joints. A fat prairie as well prevents weeds from coming up, reduction the stipulation for pesticides. So, what can we do in the time of year to get there?
First, pen set your thoughts give or take a few end years turf. What improvements would you similar to have seen? Then spring into dealing. If you have a lawn contractor, handle creation options beside him/her. Are they applying 2-3 pounds of Nitrogen per year? Nitrogen has a pilot tie to the color of the pasture. If the field isnt three-ply and green, ask them to do a grunge test, or you can do one victimisation the painless instuctions on the website. (Cost $15.00 positive charge) Do they use ongoing unfetter or hurriedly giving out fertilizer? Quick production fertilizers offer the meadow a expeditious greenup and are cheaper, but they suffer their color after 2-4 weeks. If youre getting 3 applications per year, beside modal let loose fert, you get 4 weeks of substance and rapid nodule followed by 4 weeks of partial hungriness. Using pokey unshackle feeds gradually, and keeps the field burgeoning at a more than first-string footstep. Ask your builder if he likes lookalike stinging and fabric home turf clippings, if he says yes, I may possibly impart you a $5.00 grant card to Caribou Coffee. When he says no, describe him that exploitation continuing deliverance will cut fuzz on fast even growth, and cut downcast the condition for a lot of spare toil. Everybody wins!Post ads:

These services with their cryptic names reveal the most important milestones of your vehicles life. Manufacturers did not pick the intervals of these major services at random. They designed and built your car and they know what needs to be inspected and when. And as a consumer, this is the key you need to take from this: while there are certain items that will need to be done simply due to mileage, most of the service consists of system inspections to see if service is needed at all. For example, a vehicle that sees all freeway driving and is rarely driven in the city will not wear out brakes as fast as the city dweller that lives in Hillcrest. Our staff will carefully examine all aspects of your vehicle, and recommend services that ensure trouble-free operation until the next service interval.
Schedule an Appointment
At this mileage, unless the vehicle is used in the most extreme ways (i.e. towing or off road/very dusty conditions) there is usually not much other than what the manufacturer recommends to service. As with every service, our shop has a certified technician examine the vehicle to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is starting to fail that may need attention. Most vehicles with staggered tire size (front tires not the same size as the rear tires) will most likely need to have the tires replaced if they have not been serviced already. And depending on driving style, the brake linings may need service at this mileage.
At this mileage, most cars get nearly all fluids changed. All rubber components like belts, hoses, suspension bushings and motor all need to be inspected for wear and deterioration due to exposure to ozone. The vehicle's alignment should be inspected/adjusted because by now the roads around San Diego have beaten the car out of alignment. Not correcting the alignment can result in poor fuel economy and uneven tire wear. The shocks and struts will be tested to make sure the respond as designed. A weak strut or shock can cause the tires to wear and increase the vehicle's stopping distance.
This is the most significant service in most vehicles' life. On vehicles with a timing belt, this is the mileage the belt gets replaced on most passenger cars. It is critical that this service interval is adhered to because the belt cannot be inspected visually reliably. All other drive belts will also need to be replaced and the coolant hoses should also be replaced. This will prevent hose failure that could lead to expensive engine damage. Our shop also recommends the replacement of the engine thermostat at this mileage. The thermostat is a valve the regulates the flow of coolant to the engine, and if it fails can also lead to expensive engine damage. Any drivetrain component like a transfer case or differential will need to have the fluid serviced to ensure quiet operation in the future. At this mileage, my staff will evaluate the condition of the fluids and make recommendations based on manufacturer recommendations and our visual inspection.

Charles Jacobs is the founder and managing partner of 180 Partners, and the author of Management Rewired: Why Feedback Doesn't Work and Other Surprising Lessons from the Latest Brain Science. For over two decades, he has worked with leaders in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. to improve the performance of their businesses, numbering among his clients fifty of the Fortune 100. His unique approach uses our understanding of how the brain works to comprehensively rethink businesses, creating more robust competitive strategies and the performance-oriented organizations needed to implement them. His work provides the key to overcome the number one obstacle to meaningful improvement in business performance—the rapid and effective management of change.
Here is an excerpt from my interview of him. To read the complete interview, please click here.
Morris: Before asking you to discuss specific issues addressed in your brilliant book, Management Rewired, a few general questions. When and why did you first become interested in brain science?
Jacobs: Even as a child, I was fascinated by the mind. I played baseball and did the other things that kids do, but I would find myself standing in the outfield thinking about how the mind worked, usually as the ball dropped in front of me. In my early teens, I stumbled across The Collected Works of Sigmund Freud, and was set for a career as a psychoanalyst.
After my freshman year in college, I landed a job in a state mental hospital, working with schizophrenics. One would give speeches to an unseen audience that could become testy at times, another would periodically be commanded by God to smite sinners with his cane, and a third would walk up and down the hall all day repeating, "Red light, green light." For the first time, I started to appreciate how profoundly different our versions of the world could be.
Behavioral science didn't help me understand any of what I had experienced in the hospital. I started to explore other fields, such as literature, philosophy, linguistics, social psychology, evolutionary biology, and history of science. After graduate school, I taught in various colleges and universities, but I found it rather insular. When I moved to the business world, I was able to focus on the practical applications of my work.
I've always read whatever I could get my hands on, regardless of the field, and in the early nineties, I came across some of the early research using MRIs to track the flow of information through the brain. I found it stunning that we could finally move beyond theory and actually see the brain at work. We could watch as the brain assembled our experience of the world from our perceptions, desires, emotions, and memories.
When my first company was acquired and I was sidelined with a non-compete agreement, I decided to pursue my research full time. I spent two years learning everything I could about this new field called neuroscience and another two years trying to put the pieces together in a book that people would want to read.
Morris: Some of the worst business mistakes are made because of false assumptions and premises. Presumably you agree with what Peter Drucker observed in 1963: "There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all."
Jacobs: In business, we have an understandable preoccupation with rationalization and efficiency to reduce costs. But such efficiency takes time to develop, while the market environment changes rapidly.
We get really good at building planned obsolescence into cars, only to find we're trumped by those who went for quality instead.
This is mirrored in the brain. The more we use a neural network responsible for a thought or a behavior, the more deeply ingrained it becomes until it's on automatic. Since change requires attention and energy, we unconsciously opt instead for getting better and better at doing things that no longer make sense.
Morris: Most change initiatives fail and reasons vary but in many instances, the resistance is cultural, the result of what James O'Toole aptly characterizes as "the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom." Your own thoughts about resistance to change?
Jacobs: Our minds favor the status quo and deceive us into thinking there is no reason to change. Culture then becomes a product of many minds reinforcing each other in this mistaken belief. So we need to count on resistance to change whenever we design a new initiative.
At the same time, our brains have evolved to deal with change. Old neural networks die off, and new ones are created all the time in response to the environment. But we've got to attend to the change and have a reason to endure the discomfort it brings. It's almost as if our brains are saying, "If you want me to change, convince me that change is needed and it will benefit me."
General Motors's bankruptcy has captured the attention of the employees, but real change will only take hold only when there's the promise of a different kind of company that will better meet the needs of its people.
Morris: Now please shift your attention to your latest work, Management Rewired. I am intrigued by both its title and subtitle, hence these questions. First, does management (as an organizational component) need to be "rewired" or do the mindsets of managers need to be "rewired"?
Jacobs: This is a book about fundamentally changing the way we think about management, and that requires stopping the way we currently think. People don't ordinarily think about management as wiring, let alone rewiring, so the combination of the two words is just unexpected enough to stop the mind's automatic processing. The word "management" refers both to a system and a group of people called managers, and both need to be rewired.
Neuroscientists see the brain as wired since it works through electrical impulses sent through networks of nerve cells. Hopefully, the evidence that our commonly accepted management practices fail is the spur that opens the mind to the new, scientifically-based ideas of how to manage. These ideas change the wiring, leading to different ways of thinking and behaving.
But as O'Toole's quote makes it clear, it's easier not to change and simply revert to habit. I've always thought of management structure and systems as the way to compensate for human fallibility. If self-management is wired into the organization, it makes it easier for managers to shift their role from controlling to supporting.
Morris: It seems reasonable to assume that efforts to rewire anyone and anything will encounter resistance from defenders of the status quo. Is that a fair assumption?
Jacobs: From my experience, it's a certainty. The more we have invested in the status quo and the more successful we've been, the more we're going to be unwilling to change. But we can't force people to do anything, let alone rewire their brains. All we can do is create the conditions for the rewiring to take place. Nor can the process be Orwellian. This is not about insisting on one way of thinking, but about giving people the data to reach their own conclusions about what they need to do.
Morris: With regard to the subtitle, "Why Feedback Doesn't Work and Other Surprising Lessons from the Latest Brain Science," why doesn't feedback work?
Jacobs: Our positive self-image is critical to our well-being. When we receive information that is in conflict with that image, it creates discomfort and we seek to reduce it the easiest way possible. Discounting the dissonant information is the path of least resistance.
No matter how constructive a manager may believe the feedback to be, the employee will tend to see it as critical. Imagine how you feel when someone walks up to you and says, "Let me give you a little feedback." Rather than a nice warm feeling engendered by the opportunity to improve, our bodies tense and we get ready to defend ourselves. So we deny, rationalize, or ignore the feedback.
Or we discount the source of the feedback. If the feedback is experienced as punitive, it then becomes in our psychological interests to be aggressive toward the source and punish in return. One of the favored ways to express the aggression is to continue in the behavior the boss would like to see changed.
Morris: What are a few of the other "surprising lessons"?
Jacobs: The pleasure chemical dopamine is released not when we receive a reward, but when we're fully engaged in the work that leads to the reward. It's not monetary rewards that are motivational, but the work itself.
The objective thinking favored in the business world is just not possible. There's a reciprocal connection between the areas of the brain responsible for emotion and logic. When we try to be objective in our thinking, we lose access to past experiences that are anchored emotionally, causing us to lose our capacity for forethought. Measureable objectives focus us on the short-term, not the long-term.
In fact, our objective thinking is not how we make decisions at all. Our decisions are driven by emotions that mark alternatives as good or bad, prior to our use of logic. If we get rid of the emotions, we lose the capacity for good decision-making.

per item
Perfect daytime comfort in super-soft organic cotton.
Customize the organic GladRags Day Pad according to your flow by placing one or both of the absorbent inserts inside the envelope-style holder. Or use just the soft, breathable holder as a slim liner for light flow days!
- GladRags Day Pad is equivalent to a standard-size maxi pad.
- Includes 1 holder + 2 inserts.
Although they may seem daunting at first, cloth pads are really very simple to use! GladRags Day and Night Pads consist of one holder and two inserts. This versatile design ensures thorough cleaning and allows you to make them mini or maxi by using one, two, or even three inserts. Pantyliners are just one piece. All of our pads have wings that snap around the gusset of most styles of underwear. This holds them in place while you go about your day--no adhesives necessary.
- Place the inserts inside the holder.
- Snap the pad around your underwear. The smooth side of the pad goes against your skin, and the wings wrap around the crotch of the underwear to snap together.
- Change the complete pad (holder and inserts) every 2 to 6 hours or as needed. Your used pad goes in your laundry basket or a soaking container if you're at home, or a bag if you're on the go.
- You'll want to change your cloth pad about as often as you would change a similar disposable pad. For example, if you typically change your disposable pad about every four hours, you'll want to do the same with your GladRags Day Pad. You can also check the pad (even remove it from your underwear and turn it over) to visually see how saturated it is. Like a disposable pad, if a cloth pad becomes fully saturated, it may leak.
- If you're out of the house, you can easily use and change your cloth pad. Simply bring a discreet bag with you to hold your used and fresh pads. After removing your used cloth pad, you can easily fold the pad in on itself and snap it shut to form a neat little package that can be slipped into your Carry Bag. Once home, you can wash the pad when you're ready.
Caring for your cloth pads is simple. Follow these easy step-by-step instructions to ensure your GladRags will stay in great condition for years to come.
- After use, separate the inserts from the holder. Pantyliners do not have inserts.
- Soak in cold water, if desired, to help prevent staining. Use the presoak function on your washing machine, or soak in a covered rust-proof container. Change soaking water daily.
- Machine wash cold using a natural detergent and tumble dry low or line dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. You may hand wash pads if desired.
- Remove pads from dryer promptly and store flat to eliminate wrinkling; use cool iron desired. Store your pads in a clean, dry place until next use.
- Avoid using detergents that include fabric softeners or whiteners as these can inhibit the absorbency of your cloth pads. We do not recommend the use of castille soap, facial soap, or other soaps not intended for textile laundering. Excess detergent may lead to buid up, which can limit the absorbency of your cloth pads. While we have many customers that use homemade detergents with great success, cloth pads laundered with homemade detergent are not covered under warranty.
- A note about staining: Soaking your GladRags in cold water or pre-treating with an enzymatic cleanser immediately after using are two simple ways to prevent staining. However, light staining does not indicate that your laundered cloth pads are not clean or sanitary!

I had a huge grin on my face when I drove to Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School (DFCHS) four days ago. My hands and feet felt tingly and my breathing was rapid. When I pulled up into the parking lot I got out of my rental car and stood still for a few seconds.
"Sigh. Wow. Here it is…Here it is," I whispered.
After being fascinated for a while I took a picture of DFCHS…several actually…
Seeing this school in person was an exciting and surreal experience for me. Thankfully no one was there, except for my very patient aunt waiting in the car, or else that would have been really awkward. I could just imagine what someone might have been thinking if they saw me…Why is there a random Black woman taking a photo of the school?* On a Sunday? Perhaps you reading this are asking a similar question – What on earth is there to be excited about this high school? Or at this point you may be thinking that I am one strange individual…
I first became aware of DFCHS after watching two documentaries: Failing Canada's First Nations Children, and The Fifth Estate- Indigenous Youth Deaths in Thunder Bay. DFCHS is a private high school for First Nations youth living in Thunder Bay and from northern fly-in communities in the Sioux Lookout Region. Unfortunately in Ontario (and if I am not mistaken, in other Canadian provinces/territories too) Indigenous children and youth experience extreme inequality when it comes to education. From my understanding a lot of northern Indigenous communities (i.e reserves) in Ontario do not have high schools. Therefore, if a grade 8 graduate wants to go to high school they must leave their loved ones to fly to the closest city with a high school and board with a family (majority of the time a non-Indigenous one)**. Those young individuals that make this decision experience culture shock, racism, and homesickness to name a few. Fortunately for them who attend DFCHS, they have a safe place that counteracts those negative experiences through the student-teacher interactions, curriculum delivery, and physical environment.
I really admire and commend the DFCHS staff and Northern Nishnawbe Education council for providing accessible education for their youth while instilling a strong sense of identity in them. This population of youth are somewhat forgotten and ignored in Canadian society. Also, it seems evident that the DFCHS staff go out of their way to protect the well-being of their students. Seeing this school in person was remarkable for me and hopefully there will be a next time where I can actually meet the principal who I saw in the two documentaries. His dedication and compassion makes him a very inspiring person – especially to those who want to be an ally! A well deserved round of applause for DFCHS!
Thank you for reading,
Miss. Solidarity
* Side note 1: I did not see one Black person in Thunder Bay when I visited this past weekend (LOL).
**Side note 2: very very similar situation/experience to the Residential School System!

Shoes to look cute and help a poor child
TOMS Shoes to look cute and help a poor child. Altruistic Chic: Look good, do good.
We think of footwear as an accent to our outfits, something that both looks great and is comfy… well, most of the time.
However, in many developing countries most children grow up barefoot and walking is often their primary mode of transportation. Children have to walk for miles get basics like food, water, shelter, and medical help. Some cannot even attend school as shoes are part of their uniform. Wearing shoes enables them to walk the distance that they could not barefoot. It prptects their feet from cuts and sores from unsafe roads and contaminated soil, which can lead to a variety of infections, pain, and even disease that can lead to amputation.
While on trip to Argentina in 2006 American traveler and company founder, Blake Mycoskie, discovered that children in certain areas did not have shoes. "I was instantly struck with the desire — the responsibility — to do more," says Mycoskie. TOMS was founded on the One for One premise that for every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair to a child in need. As of April 1st, TOMS has given over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world.
The espadrille-like cute flats and boots are stylish, and show you care about looking good and doing good. Vogue has spotted them on Sienna Miller and Karl Lagerfeld, we've spotted them all over town. Styles for women, men toddlers, vegans, and something there for you.

text: When will we learn to treat others right. One may have prejudices but does that give someone the right to mistreat another human being. I wrote on political correctness earlier and how i hate it. It's good to see where people are and then do what we can to show them where they are wrong. That teacher could have placed the wheelchair where she was and she could have stood on the other side, if she did not want to be next to the child. Or, if she does not care about being seen next to him or not then she could have just place the wheelchair next to her, where she was standing, and then she could have stood up behind the chair or seat on the bench next to the other kids. I mean many different things could have been done. however, do to political correctness they at least made sure that Miles was in the class picture. Well, I hope that the teacher gets reprimanded.
