The Atheism Jab + notes
This is a story I'm not particularly proud of.
I wrote it for a site called Clarkesworld, which pays quite well for sci-fi. All their stories have a distinct style that isn't anything like mine, so I read a few and tried to adapt. 'The Atheism Jab' was a story I did years ago, but I went back, made it more Clarkesworld-y, and below is the result.
I figured I could get it published, get noticed by sci-fi publishers and sell one of my sci-fi novels more easily. I'm not desperate for cash, but what other way is there to make it in the sci-fi market?
You can keep making zines and printing your own novels + others' novels and sticking them around the world, but it's not gonna stop her from leaving you one day. Some sacrifices have to be made, and the first ones to go are always your principles.
Principles = trouble + enemy-makers
I compromised a lot on this story. There's no real heart to it…a superficial heart, maybe, but it's all bullshit really. For me, heart comes from my own experiences and actions. E.g. whatever I do in my life, even if I don't understand it, shows some kind of behaviour or emotion more than anything I can make up so it gets written down. Real arguments become arguments in my fiction, and real scenes become fake scenes which are almost exactly the same as the real ones.
J J Abrams [a counter-example] doesn't seem able to do this, so he has to make things up…it's not heart you see in his films, it's fraud, but because most of us have never been in command of a starship or stuck on a deserted island, we let it pass.
For this story, I was J J Abrams. I used my imagination and zero real life experiences and no humour and it hurts the story, I think.
But still…this is as close as I can get to the science fiction that published authors write, and I don't feel good about any part of it. What's the point of writing anything if you don't even recognise yourself in any of the characters? Why am I writing stuff that mimics stories I don't even like?
Better not to waste time adapting…better to go back to stuff like 'Ljubljana Witch' and 'Uchu-jin'…they may be shit, but at least they're different. At least they have a sense of humour.
Better to keep making zines too.
All I need is another guaranteed way to make enough cash to have a future.
Anyway, here's the story I don't really like:
The Atheism Jab
Oli Johns
'Theism is a disease. If we relent…if we back down in any way, we lose.'
Pg. 7, Notes on rationalism, Blackout Press, 2024
The left arm jerked upwards and left, smacking hard against the wall.
It did it again, four, five…eight times.
The ninth time, it stopped.
There was a crack in the wall where the hand had struck. Nineteen days earlier, it would've been the glass covering the painting of Moses leading the Israelites out of the desert, but now it was the paint.
The owner of the arm, Wong Tak Wah Alan, slept [relatively] peacefully, unaware of cracks or spasms or the Red Sea.
His bed hadn't been changed in three and a half weeks. The sheets he lay on were beginning to stain from the sweat brought on by his convulsions. The room around him was also in need of cleaning; the floor was gathering dust, the paint [aside from the crack] was stripping itself off the walls, the desk in the corner still had all the coins Wong had claimed over the past year of his life.
It needed attention, but it wouldn't get it, not from him.
Wong's left arm reached up again, this time aiming for the ceiling. The fingers grasped for nothing and the wrist flipped around as though it were trying to break itself.
Sitting in a chair beside the bed, reading Puncher's infamous Atheist text 'Exorcising God', was another man. Yu Tin Lok Thomas…or "Tommy Gun" as the other group members called him. Tommy had been there the whole night, and the eighteen days before that, watching the patient.
It wasn't his house, but he was living there.
Tommy lowered the book, glaring at the patient. "Come on, Abe," he muttered. 'It's just a little red…'
Wong didn't answer.
"I reckon you're faking it anyway…right?"
"Come on, Abe…you can tell me. One spasm for right, two spasms for wrong…"
Wong's left arm shook a little, but there was no spasm.
Tommy went back to his book, the conversation clearly over. It wasn't a strange thing, talking to a guy who couldn't talk back. He'd done it before, many times. Besides, there was no one around to hear. They were in a large house in a half-evacuated little village, twenty minutes from Tai Po, an hour from Mong Kok, and at least thirty minutes from the nearest church-base. No one knew he was there, not even the theists.
Tommy read a few more lines of Puncher's book, something about 'God is love' being the impossibility of 'an abstract is an abstract', and nodded.
He looked up at the end of the page, just in time to see Wong's right arm spasm.
"Ha, I knew it…"
Tommy put his book on the floor, marking the page with his 'Devil in a suit' bookmark. When he looked up again, Wong's eyes were open.
"Ah, you're awake," Tommy said, leaning forward.
No answer.
"What's up? You want something, Abe?"
Wong closed his eyes again.
Tommy looked at his watch. "I guess it's about time, huh…"
He got out of the chair Wong Alan's father had used to tell stories from, the chair he'd been sitting on for seven hours straight, cleaned the red out of the needle and prepped the next dose.
"Back to the baby juice," he told his patient. "Let's try a half shot, see how we go."
He took a large bottle of green liquid [three quarters empty] off the desk and stuck the needle in, filling it up to halfway.
'Green is important, the baby steps before walking upright. It doesn't replace the theist lies, it challenges them. It brings the delusional closer to us, through information and truth.
Methodology: the watcher reads our texts, the green turns the words into scenes within the patient's brain. It transports our people, our speakers, past the barricades and directly into the prespyrus-dithalic cortex, where the defences are weak. The subconscious informs the conscious, as Kapok told us. The patient is given a foundation, a base built solely on rationalism.
Recommended dose: Quarter shots for the first ten days, half shots for the next ten, full shots for the last five.
DO NOT introduce the red until day twenty six.'
Pg. 56, Notes on Rationalism, Blackout Press, 2024
Tommy pointed the needle upwards and pushed the trigger. Some green fluid squirted out, flying briefly up towards the ceiling before dropping harmlessly onto the floor by the bed. Tommy watched the hallucinogen try to dissolve itself into the floor.
"If your floor were alive, it'd probably be atheist by now," he said, smirking.
He pulled the point of the needle down to the flip side of Wong's elbow and pushed it in hard. It went up to the hilt. The green juice switched sides, the whole lot of it disappearing from the syringe.
"There…better than red, huh, Abe?"
Tommy pulled the needle out, put it back on the desk without wiping it, and stood back so the arm wouldn't hit him when the convulsions started up again.
The green had been ineffective the last few times, but that wasn't unheard of. All it needed was a stronger dose, real characters, a harder loyalty breaking down the old one…
"I'll run you all the way up to forty days if I have to," said Tommy. "All the way, Abe, I don't care…"
He thought of Sammy, alone in the clinic.
"No one holds out past thirty five anyway…"
Tommy went back to the narrator's chair, picked up the book from the floor and started to read the lines out loud.
The third sentence was broken by a knock on the door downstairs.
He stopped reading and listened.
A few seconds passed…then a second knock.
Tommy put the book on the floor. "You expecting anyone, Abe?"
Another knock, louder this time. He tried not to think bad thoughts, but it was hard. Everyone knew what had happened to Kenny in Yuen Long a few months back…
He looked over at the bedroom door, unlocked.
But that was…it was a one off. Something like that…that severe…hadn't happened in over two years. Not anything they'd put on file at least…unless…
Another knock.
Tommy muttered something, dug his nails a little way into his left thigh then stood up.
"Okay, Abe…stay here and don't move…"
He walked out of the room and down the small flight of stairs leading into the kitchen. The gun was by the kettle, in the same position he'd left it. He picked it up, forced a deep breath and aimed at the front door.
"Come on then, you bastards…come on…"
He spat on the floor, trying to work himself up to some kind of eruption.
"Come on…"
His hand started to sweat a little, so he changed the gun to his left, went over to the window near the door and looked out onto the street. Well, it wasn't a street exactly, more like a path leading to each house in the village.
There was no one there, only the chickens in the cages opposite.
He went quickly to the door and opened it, stepping out with the gun behind his back. Still no one. He walked to the left, along the path and onto the hill stretching down to the village entrance.
No cars, no dog walkers, no joggers…nothing.
He waited a few more seconds, squinting at a minibus speeding past at the bottom of the hill, checking for dodgy faces or men with baseball caps pulled down over their eyes…nothing, the thing was practically empty.
He ran back to the house and locked the front door behind him. He checked the kitchen and the living room and upstairs to see if someone had managed to sneak in while he'd been gone, but there was nothing different about any of it.
If it was them, he thought, returning to Wong's room…why didn't they just rush me when I opened the door?
That's what they'd done to Kenny…the first part of it anyway.
He put the gun on the desk by Wong's bed and pulled the phone out of his pocket.
"It's Tommy, I need a check." He paused, waiting for confirmation. "Wo Mei Tsuen, Tai Po. There was a knock on the door. Yeah, it's the third time in the last two nights. Options?"
The person on the other end talked for a while, Tommy listened. After a while he started to nod.
"You sure? Kids? Okay, fine. Right. I'll keep the gun close by. Yeah, on me at all times. Got it."
He hung up and put the phone back in the pocket.
"No white knights tonight, Abe…"
Wong stared up at the ceiling, oblivious to white knights or black knights or knights of any colour whatsoever.
Tommy looked out the bedroom window onto the path below, checking one last time. Nothing but chickens and shitty concrete. He turned back to the patient.
"Green's been in a while…we better get this done."
He picked up the book, opened to the third chapter, the one concerning the ontological proof, and started reading out loud.
Inside the dream-scape of Wong Alan, the blank space cleared and things started to take shape. Halls and podiums appeared…microphones, cables, cameras…leading figures of atheism spun themselves out of nothing, coughing, glaring, readying their false mouths to explain everything their listener had never wanted to know.
Two nights later [Day Twenty-One of the process] Tommy Gunn stood in Wong's living room holding a bible and a big, black bag.
The bag was for anything considered by the council as regressive or prohibitive to their patient's development. Anything from his past way of thinking had to go in there. Each member, after putting the patient under, had to scour the apartment for anything religious, biblical, supernatural, mystical…anything containing dogma or rhetoric. The most common things were books on the shelf, crosses on the wall, bibles hidden within drawers.
In place of these items, the member had to scatter things related to the cause: science journals, evolution charts, naturalist texts.
So far, Tommy had put a few physics books on the shelves and a poster of the human body on the wall near the front door. It wasn't much, but he didn't really care. The most important part, to him, was making sure all the theist shit was eliminated.
The bible in his hand was the last piece of Wong's theist shit, a lucky find. He'd been up in Wong's room a few hours earlier administering another shot of green, when he'd noticed a lump in the pillow beneath his head. A book-shaped lump.
Fucking theists…
He didn't know why, but after reaching under and pulling out that damn book, he'd loaded the needle with another half shot of red and stuck it in Wong's arm.
'Red is to be used after twenty-five days of green. Simply, it is a stimulant which releases a specific set of endorphins in the patient's brain, embedding loyalty to the atheist cause. Post-insertion, the watcher reads atheist names to the patient as well as all the theists who have attacked them, forcing the patient to mentally defend the former.
Side effects: quite painful, induces spasms and chest convulsions if more than half a shot [50ml] is administered'
Pg. 83, Notes on Rationalism, Blackout Press, 2024
Tommy looked at the front of the bible, that fucking cross. It had been lying there all that time…twenty-one days, right next to the guy's head, and he hadn't noticed.
Wong was lucky. That kind of defiance deserved blue, not red. And it's not like he'd given him that much…just a few drops of red here and there…when Wong was bad.
Tommy dropped the bible into the bag and kicked it.
"It's your own fault, Abe. If you'd just put it somewhere open, none of this would've…'
There was a knock at the door.
He spun round, straight away looking at the latch on the front door. No alarm system, no cameras, no double locks…just an old-fashioned latch.
It didn't move. Not yet, at least.
He tried to think of possibilities. Pranksters? It was the fourth time in as many nights, there's no way it was kids. It couldn't be. Neighbours? There weren't any, the place was like a morgue. Police? No, it was too remote, and they had their hands full in Kowloon anyway. Who else?
He edged towards the kitchen counter, keeping his eyes on the latch. There was no point debating it…he knew who it was.
Knock, knock.
He reached out with his right hand, picked the gun off the counter and aimed it at the front door, keeping the black bag in his other hand.
Knock, knock, knock.
Louder, louder, louder.
He stared at the door, expecting it to burst into pieces.
It didn't.
But that was only because he wasn't standing next to it…that's what they were waiting for, wasn't it?
Knock, knock, knock.
He imagined the wooden splinters firing from the door and into his eyes…he imagined theists swarming in, pinning him down and…
He was better than this. He wasn't Kenny, he was…
"Fuck's sake, Tommy, move. Do something."
He dropped the bag, kept the gun at arm's length and walked quickly to the door. He didn't bother to check the window first, he didn't care. If it was them…if they really were out there…
He opened the door with absolutely zero hesitation and aimed at what he thought would be head height.
The steps outside were empty.
Across the path, the chickens were making noises, beak-butting the sides of the cages. Tommy looked left and saw what they were clucking about. A man was running towards the hill…
"Hey…" Tommy shouted, running onto the path, gun still drawn.
The man looked back, raised his arm…
Tommy ducked down and covered his head. He waited for the sound of the bullet hitting glass or chicken.
He took his arms away from his head and looked at where the man had been standing. The space was empty.
He straightened up quickly and ran to the end of the path, cursing himself for ducking, praising himself for getting back up so fast.
At the top of the slope, he stopped and looked around. There was a chair outside one of the houses, but no one was sitting on it. No one on the main road at the bottom of the hill, either.
He walked a little further down the slope, squinting at the minibus stop under the overpass.
No one.
The whole place was dead. Deader than…
He turned and walked back up the slope, the only thought coming to him 'deader than Kenny.' When he reached the top, he noticed the steps leading into the forest. Not many people went up there, not at night…not with all the illegals around.
He looked at the steps, following them up until they dissolved into a huge mass of dark canopy. There were eyes in those leaves, dozens of them.
That's where he'd gone, had to be.
Tommy stood there, posing for a picture that no one was taking. If he went, they might get him. If he didn't go…
"You better run…" he muttered, cocking his gun and walking slowly towards the first step.
Back in the room upstairs, Wong opened his right eye. He wasn't fully awake, but he had a notion that…some idea that someone was…where was he?
He looked around until he was satisfied it was still his room and he was alone. It was, he was, everything was normal. Still, there was a feeling…something wasn't right. He wasn't sure what it was but…his head felt comfortable. The pillow's softer than usual, he thought. Much softer.
His next thought was to thank someone for the softness of his pillow but he couldn't think of anyone to address. There is someone though…who do I usually thank?
He pushed the back of his head further into the pillow. There must be a reason why this pillow's softer than usual, he thought. Someone made it this way, there was a cause…but who?
He raised his head higher, off the pillow, and checked the room again. This time he saw the desk and the needles resting on it. Three large bottles of red, green, and blue; all without labels, the green one almost empty. What…
He stopped himself.
Was this really his room? Was someone else there?
He waited a few seconds for someone to appear, but no one came. Was this…the bottles were real…they are real…what is that stuff?
Gotta get up, he told himself. Go downstairs, look around.
He tried to lift his legs off the bed but they wouldn't move. Then his arms…they moved an inch off the sheets then shot right back down. They were dead.
This didn't…there was something not…what was going on here?
A spasm ran through his chest and then spread out four ways, running to each tip of his body.
What the…
He couldn't finish the thought, the pain…
His eyes closed again, beyond his will. Despite his fatigue, the spasms continued inside, delivering pain to every nerve and cell and nuclei and then flowing back to his brain where he started to think of…
…he thought a thousand things at once…there had to be something that would help him…Evolution; a natural process, a selection that made him…a universe without a creator…what creator? What did it look like? How was it outside out of time? What would that look like? Morality is relative, it cannot, CANNOT be programmed into you by a God-head…what's that? The man was shouting and he knew him, he knew the man…Puncher…Tony Puncher…and he was shouting at another man but it was alright, he seemed to like Mr. Puncher…there was something reassuring about him…that Mr. Puncher, he was a good guy…if anyone talked bad about him, he would…wait, what was…who was this man?
He tried to lift his hand to his temple to rub it and make the thoughts slow down but it wasn't his real head and even if it were real, it didn't matter as he was still pinned to the bed, his fake bed, his dream bed.
More thoughts came…but not thoughts, it was a vision now…a face in the sky…and a man on the ground, with a beard and white robes…he knew that man…the face in the sky spoke: "I am you and you are me, and if you ask any more questions…" The man, the one he knew, nodded and then turned to a crowd and spoke to them, but it was inaudible…the crowd was nodding and listening…and the face in the sky was watching them all, monitoring them…then the crowd was gone, and there was a city…a huge walled city, and he could see right down into it, as if he were a bird…there were people down there, some of them in a group…he somehow magnified it, possibly by swooping down, he wasn't sure, and he saw that the people in the city were strong and had swords and spears and were killing other people, defenceless people…he looked away, horrified…but then he looked elsewhere in the city and he saw more people…they were talking, and laughing, and there was a mother with a child in her arms, and a group of men watching, smiling at the baby who seemed happy…this was a better part of the city, he thought…and then the face in the sky came…Wong looked left and saw his bird arm and some clouds and beyond that he saw the face…it was looking over the whole city, and it was puzzled…then the face changed, turned into a giant stone and fell towards the city. He watched as it dropped and at first it looked like it would flatten the whole earth…but as it fell, it slowly shrank until it covered only the city, which was further away from him now, and then it hit, and there was nothing there anymore. No city, no killing, no happy kids. He swooped down again and circled the stone…it grew back into a face and then into a man and floated back down to the ground, leaving the wreck of the city behind it, along with the killers and the mother and her child, and then the newly born man spoke to some men who had appeared from somewhere holding stones and chalk, and as he spoke they wrote with their chalk…the man faded into nothing and the whole landscape changed into grass and fields, and then he was back in his room…what was happening here…he knew who he'd seen, but it was different…he'd never seen it like that before…the mother, her child…was that the story? Something told him to reach under the pillow, and that's what he did…his hand had come back to life and he could move it…slowly, but it was moving, it was definitely moving…and then it disappeared, under the pillow up to his wrist, and there had to be something there for him…but he couldn't…it wasn't…there was nothing there. He reached further in until he hit the wall and…a noise from somewhere in the room…there's someone here…
"Who's there?" he shouted. "What are you doing?"
He spun his head round in four jerked movements and took in the rest of the room…there was someone…a whole body, and arms, coming towards him with…it was sharp…a knife…no, a needle…a needle with bright red juice…tried to pull hand back from pillow but…not move quickly…edged out, too slow…needle on arm…was it…final push and…wake again…only chance…waited fear paralyze but…no fear…pain…pain drilling bones…veins…deep…
Tommy kept the needle in until Wong's eyes were shut tight. He was still breathing heavily from his sprint up the stairs, imagining what his boss would say if he found out about this.
You've let us down, son. You've destroyed us, everything we've…
It didn't make sense. All from one shot of red…how? It wasn't procedure, fine, but…they never woke up, not like this, never. This guy wasn't anything different. All the background checks had been conclusive; he was a regular. Just another Wong. Why was he waking up? And his hand…it was under the pillow…why? Did he remember? He couldn't…he wasn't supposed to remember, it was impossible.
Tommy pictured the future hearing in his head. Seven men around a horseshoe shaped desk, lecturing him. You used too much red, you were irresponsible, they said.
No, I was…
You are relieved of all duties from this moment on. Please reflect on your actions and perhaps one day, if satisfactorily repentant, you can reapply.
We said, dismissed. Go. Leave. Be gone. Disappear.
Tommy turned to the desk and stared at the blue bottle. It had no label…it looked kind of like a cartoon version of shampoo or body lotion…but he knew exactly what it did.
'If all else fails, use the blue. 10ml shot only. The liquid is basically poison therefore overuse will result in extreme pain and probable brain death.'
Pg. 147, Notes on Rationalism, Blackout Press, 2024
He took the cap off the bottle.
"It's goodbye to the God of love, Abe…"
He filled the needle with 20ml of blue juice and stuck it hard into Wong's right arm. The cartoon blue disappeared. When it was all gone, Tommy pulled the needle out and threw it casually back down onto the desk.
He got off the bed, sat down in the chair in the corner and waited.
The next night [day twenty-two of the process], Tommy was sitting in his usual chair, reading Singh's 'Kill all Gods and burn them' to Wong, when his mobile rang. He put the book on the floor, saw the name and sighed.
"What is it?"
"It's me, dear."
"I know, Mum. Caller ID."
"Can we talk?"
"It's important, dear…"
Tommy looked at the clock on the wall, the new one that didn't have Abraham in the middle. Both his parents knew about his work with the group. They'd all been de-converted together, in the same house. After waking, he'd been the quickest to adjust, which is why he was recruited as a member. Mum had been the slowest, but she'd come around eventually.
"I'm working…call you back later."
"Wait, you're still there…in Tai Po? I don't understand, it's been a month already…what's happening? Are you alright?"
"It's been three weeks, Mum. And I'm fine."
"Then why's it taking so long?"
"Ah, you know how it is…another God-sucker clinging on. It doesn't matter, it's fine."
"But they don't take this long…I don't understand, dear."
"It doesn't matter…"
Tommy looked down at the floor, at the cover of the book, an image of an elephant God being burnt at the stake.
"I'm worried about you, Thomas. If they find out where you are…"
"They won't. We cover our tracks…don't worry."
"It's not enough. You're all alone out there, it's not…we heard about what happened in Yuen Long."
"It's fine, Mum, really. Yuen Long was a one-off, it won't happen again."
"Are you sure?"
"I am. Besides, there's a team nearby if I need them."
"You mean they're in the area…in Tai Po?"
"And you have their number?"
"I do."
"You know which house they're in? The building name, number…"
"Mum…it's okay, really."
There were a few seconds of silence. Tommy thought about giving details, but couldn't think of any specific place. Besides, it was a lie, there wasn't anyone nearby. What he'd said already would be enough…as long as she didn't know about the knocks at the door…
"Okay then. As long as you're sure, dear…"
"I am."
Wong's body didn't seem to like this answer. It came to life and rolled onto its side, the arms reaching over the side of the bed.
"Look Mum, I've gotta go…the patient's getting close."
"Wait…one more thing…"
"Mum, please…"
"No, just…it's about Sammy."
Tommy looked over at Wong, who was paddling his arms as if he were in a canoe. "What is it?"
"I went to see him today, at the clinic."
"He wasn't looking so good, Thomas…I tried to give him something to look at…you know those Heinlein books he used to read when he was young…I tried to read them out loud to him, but…they don't seem to interest him anymore. Nothing does."
Tommy nodded, but didn't say a word back. He couldn't think about his brother, not now.
"…I think they're giving him the wrong shots. Actually, I'm sure of it. Some of those nurses…they don't look like nurses. Not the normal ones you see. The eyes are different, the way they walk in with those clipboards and…they don't look right. I think they could be working for them…"
"It's a secular clinic, Mum…theists can't get in."
"They can. They're sneaky. And the security guards in reception…they look like they're a hundred and fifty years old…they couldn't stop a…a fly…or a child. Really, they're useless, Thomas, I've seen them move. They can't fight. They don't have guns. The theists could just…if they know where Sammy is they could just walk right in and…"
"I won't let that happen."
"But you can't promise that, Thomas. How can you? You're always working…"
"It's true. When was the last time you visited him?"
"What…I still visit him…"
"All the time…"
"The last one…okay, it was…it was last month. I went to see him a month back, before I came here. I took him the downloads, the old ROMs…"
Tommy was lying. He hadn't visited his brother in nine months. His mum wouldn't know this unless she asked the nurses directly, and they wouldn't say anything as he'd sworn them all to secrecy. They wouldn't go back on that, not with the money he'd given them. And Sam…Sammy couldn't say a damn word. Mum would never admit it but he was gone. The theists…they'd done their work.
He realised his mum was still talking.
"…don't forget about him, Thomas. He's not gone yet. He's still our Sammy, even if he doesn't like those silly science fiction books anymore."
"I know…"
"As long as we keep trying…as long as we protect him…as long as we keep them away from him."
"I know."
Wong came to life again and rolled onto his other side, pinning down his own arms.
"Mum…gotta go."
"Okay, dear, but make sure you call…"
He hung up before she finished.
Wong moved his head again. He was close to waking up. Tommy had to finish the chapter before he opened his eyes again.
Perhaps another shot of blue to help him feel more…
A picture came into his head. Sammy sitting on the steps outside their building, telling him what was and what wasn't science fiction.
He closed his eyes, tried to wipe it away, but it wouldn't budge.
"It's not good, you should read more…stop playing all those ROMs…"
"I like the ROMs…"
"Yeah, so do I, but they're no good. They don't mean anything…"
"Okay, Granddad Sam…"
"Fuck off…not my fault I'm more diverse than you…"
"More diverse…ha, you sure that's the right word?"
"It is…"
"It was in one of the Pohl books…he used it, so it must be right."
Tommy opened his eyes and looked at the patient. He looked at him for a long time. He looked at him as if he were already a corpse.
"You don't like Pohl, do you, Abe?"
No answer.
Tommy leaned forward. "You don't even know who he is…"
Wong's right arm shook, sliding itself off the edge of the bed.
Tommy watched it hanging there, begging to be pricked.
"Okay then, Abe…okay."
He stood up and walked over to the desk. The needle was lying next to the bottle, waiting. He picked it up and filled it with blue. The liquid should've stopped near the first marker, ten millilitres, but he couldn't let go of the trigger.
"A little extra," he said. "You deserve a little extra, don't you?"
He brought it over to Wong's arm and let the tip of the metal rest against the skin, ready to go.
He looked at Wong's face and thought about how similar it was to any other face. Eyes, nose, mouth, ears…it was all there. All that was wrong was in the brain. Information, wiring, synapses…it was unfixable with this one. They said it wasn't…anyone could be saved, no one's ever completely gone…but it wasn't true.
Wong was different. He was one of them, always.
Not my fault I'm more diverse than you.
Not my fault.
I know…I know it's not.
Tommy pulled Wong's arm closer and found a vein. He didn't hesitate, he didn't freeze. The needle went in and he emptied the whole cylinder, every last drop of blue. When it was done he reached over for the blue bottle and took all that was left, straight into the needle and then the arm.
Wong didn't react at first; his face was serene and his body relaxed. When the second dose was all in, Tommy took out the needle, put it on the desk, and sat back down in his chair. The atheist book was on the floor, but he ignored it.
"Won't be long, Abe…"
A few moments later, it began. He watched as the patient's arm flew into the air and against the wall, lashing out at it ten, twenty, thirty times, trying to break through the plaster. The rest of Wong's body lurched upwards, convulsing, trying to throw itself off the bed. It vomited bile and little bits of yellow phlegm, and finally blood. There were sounds…primal howls, animal noises…like a creature being mauled. It filled the room and its walls and anything inside.
Tommy sat with his arms folded, only a metre away from the dying man. He didn't get up to close the window or gag the patient, what was the point? There was no one living within two houses of them and even if someone in the village did hear something, it didn't matter.
The thing…it was already done.

- ALL - In Trance 95 -
Artist : In Trance 95
Label : Minimal Wave
cities of steel and neon / LP
'Cities Of Steel And Neon' is a compilation of early tape recordings by Greek electronic pioneers In Trance 95. In Trance 95 was formed by Alex Machairas and Nik Veliotis when they were just 18 years old. From its inception, the duo shaped their sound using portable analogue synthesizers and drum machines, becoming one of the 1st artists in the minimal synth / coldwave / EBM vein to come out of Greece in the 80's. They released 2 singles, 1 12", and 1 album as well as appearing on several compilations at the time. Now for the 1st time ever, songs from their vast archive of unreleased 4-track tape recordings have been made available. 'Cities Of Steel And Neon' features material recorded between 1988-1989: the unreleased 4-track recordings, the highly lauded 1st single "Desire To Desire / Brazilia", and a rare version of "21st Century European Temptation". The LP, an edition of 999 hand-numbered copies, is pressed on 180gram black vinyl and housed in a matte jacket with semi-gloss inner sleeve depicting 1989 video stills of the the duo. Nice one ;)

The project Tom&Jerry is the redesign of a classic furniture typology: the workshop stool. The
three-legged stool (in two different heights). Due to its smooth-running mechanism it is easy to adjust and convenient to climb. The sturdy couple make a versatile addition to working, recreational and private environments alike.
An office canteen, the trendy Health Food Restaurant as well as the kitchen counter at home.
It's the working stool of an architect in his studio or a scientist in a research laboratory; the resting
place of a museum attendant, telephone stool, valet in a changing room, seating for the children in
a kindergarten...
made of solid beech wood with mechanical parts in
self lubricant plastic.

Olympics London 2012
Some shots from my day at the athletics evening session on 7 August. Bought a ticket online the day before and found myself sitting half way around the first bend only 10 metres away from the Olympic cauldron itself! You could feel the heat coming off it. I ran 800m myself back in the 1970s and won 7 British youth and junior titles. My best time was 1.49.97 for the 800m in the final of the European Junior Championships in Germany (won by Steve Ovett). Then Achilles Tendon injury stopped it all. A dream being at the London Olympics just for a day and watching the great David Rudisha in the 800m semi final. What would I have paid to have seen his fabulous world record in the final!!

Within the past decade, sexual misconduct on college campuses has come to the forefront of conversation. In the wake of the highly publicized arrest of Brock Turner and the sexual harassment accusations in Hollywood, many individuals have come forward, releasing details of sexual harassment and assault in various settings, ranging from college campuses to the workplace.
In 2014, the University of Puget Sound began revising its policies against sexual misconduct. In the informational session for the new policy, Sarah Shives, the Dean of Students, explained that the original policy did not specifically outline individual procedures for faculty and students. She noted that it also covered a large amount of information, which created confusion for many campus members. The process of revising was a process of "disentangling the previous policy" to create a more accessible document.
According to Shives, this new policy has been written in accordance with national policies and within the guidelines of Title IX. Title IX, part of the Education Amendment Act of 1972, states that "No person in the United States shall on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program" (US Department of Education). The act of sexual misconduct falls under Title IX in that it impedes access to education due to creating an unsafe environment.
Completed in 2017, the new campus policy has been lengthened, including robust definitions of consent, coercion and harassment. The policy has been split into two parts, one describing the policy itself and another which definitively outlines the procedure for sexual misconduct violations and accusations for faculty, staff and students. This policy will be revisited annually to ensure campus safety.
These procedures are complaint-driven,"according to Jessica Pense, the Director of Student Conduct, meaning that all proceedings occur in accordance with the wishes of the complainant. Processes are not through a legal entity; rather, all proceedings go through the Sexual Misconduct Board, which is made up of trained faculty. The resolutions of these cases are determined by the "preponderance of evidence," in which the board takes personal narrative as evidence, which differs from law enforcement tactics.
The procedure also outlines the right to a support person, whose purpose is to be utilized for "support, guidance, advice, etc." This person, allowed for both the complainant and the respondent (the individual being accused) may not advocate for either party, but rather, serve as emotional support.
Jo Gudgell, a sophomore who attended the informational meeting, still believes there is some ambiguity surrounding the idea of support persons. "I was a little confused about the support person addition because I think it's really important for survivors to have people there for them, but the support person can't say anything or advocate for them, so I was a little confused about the point of that," Gudgell stated.
While these procedures have been clarified, their purpose is still a point of confusion for some students. Luckily, students may submit forms online reviewing the policy, which allows for more student voices to be heard.
Both the policy and the procedure include various resources both on and off campus, including faculty, student groups and outside support groups. This policy is available on the campus website, which also includes an online report form. Reporting through this form may be anonymous and may contain as much or as little of the story as the complainant wishes to tell.
According to the policy's statement of purpose, "This policy is informed by an understanding that sexual misconduct destroys the respect, dignity, and trust necessary to form a vibrant community." This revised policy creates a standard for our campus community that allows for a safe environment while maintaining transparency between students and campus conduct officials.

Positive vibes = winning (97 of #100DaysofSatoshiDoodles)
This was my view earlier today as I fried my eyeballs watching children bury each other up to their necks in the sand. You know, the important things.
(Well, this is not to diminish the other important things such as all efforts that led up to and including the Aug. 1, 2017 hard fork. And all the historical and subsequent work going into building up the BCH ecosystem.)
We are influenced by vibrations which reflect the emotional state of those we surround ourselves with (including online). Fresh air and turning off the internet are helpful for recalibration. A positive mindset is a winning mindset.

In April 12th," the middle reaches of the Yangtze River city group industry integration strategy cooperation and Development Forum" held in Wuhan, Hubei Jiangxi provinces by the (labour) letter appoint signed" Hubei Jiangxi provinces to strengthen the middle reaches of the Yangtze River city group industry integration strategic cooperation agreement"," delta" will restructure through mergers create a trans-regional large enterprise groups.
International Mould Association Secretary-General Luo Baihui accepted the British Financial Times Chinese investment reference column is stationed in New York reporter in an interview that the current domestic and international industry division of labor, the profound adjustment, China's eastern coastal areas of the industry is transferred to center-west region to accelerate the pace of. The Midwest play to rich resources, low cost, factor market potential advantages, and actively undertake domestic and international industrial transfer, is not only conducive to accelerating center-west region industrialization and urbanization, promoting coordinated regional development, but also conducive to promoting economy of foreland of the eastpart part transformation and upgrading, nationwide optimizing pattern of industrial division of labor. For further guidance from the Midwest and ordered to undertake the transfer of industries, improve cooperation mechanism, optimize development environment, development order, recently, the State Council issued the" on Midwest undertaking industrial transfer instruction opinion", for our country industry transfer points to clear direction.
The Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, the Bohai sea in eastern coastal area of the capital is relatively saturated, together with the land, labor, energy and other factor supply hasten, quicken economic transition and structure upgrade brook no delay. And the vast center-west region infrastructure gradually improved, the elements of the cost advantage, industry development space is larger.
With the unified national market is formed stage by stage and cost factors of comprehensive promotion, foreland of the eastpart part of original system mechanism advantage disappears basically, extensive economy grows way difficult to continue weakening, competitive advantage. At the same time, the impact of international financial crisis, the international market demand drops quickly, highly dependent on exports of manufactured goods in Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta areas substantially reduced orders, export growth down quickly, the economic growth rate decreased significantly. In the domestic and international economic environment changes brought about by the pressure, the eastern coastal area of China Die & mould industry is transferred to center-west region to speed up the pace, this is the law of the market economy under the action of the industrial gradient shift inevitable result, is also the integration of the global economy driven by the irreversible trend of economic.
The eastern coastal region of the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta region is regarded as a world manufacturing base, but at present the industry are mainly labor-intensive products, at the low end of the value chain link, R & D, design and marketing, brand and other link is weak, lack of independent innovation capacity, mainly rely on low cost, low price to obtain the competitive advantage, industry, regional homogenization of serious phenomenon. Only the part of the labor-intensive, resource consumption and environmental requirements of the higher industrial transfer out, can cause the high technology, high level of enterprises in the local has more space and more elements of the supply security, accelerate industrial structure to optimize upgrade pace.
The eastern coastal areas and some good operating condition, the rapid development of private enterprises mold, in capital, technology and management level have a considerable accumulation, in succession to a regional and industrial transfer, nationwide greater access to markets and economic benefits. In the process of the industry transfer is the most active private small and medium-sized mold enterprises, the pursuit of business growth, promote foreign expansion, often is these enterprises industrial transfer targets. Especially since 2008, as the change of macroscopical economic situation, make the market pressure increased significantly, forcing the eastern coastal areas of the enterprise through the transfer of industry to open up the market. Luo Baihui discovers in investigation, at present, our domestic die industry transfer is at its peak.
The Midwest communications, communications and energy infrastructure is progressively and perfect, system environment, investment environment, market environment change greatly, coupled with low land, labor cost and rich resources, become the mold industry to undertake the transfer of ideal. The Yangtze River Delta 's industry in the past mainly to North Jiangsu and Anhui transfer, now expanded to Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi province. In recent years, many of the Zhejiang labor and resource intensive enterprises to speed up the Jiangxi and other central and Western regions. The Pearl River Delta region of the mold enterprises also begin to transfer to the Midwest, Foshan ceramic mold company relocated to Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Shandong etc.. Jiangsu, Zhejiang province to accelerate industry of the developed regions in the province to province in the less-developed areas. Such as Jiangsu through financial support, electricity subsidies, land use plan tilts wait for measure, carry out the hook support, build the Development Zone, South of Jiangsu to promote industry to sue, transfer of North jiangsu. According to statistics,2001 ~2007, South of Jiangsu area to the north of Jiangsu transfer5000000yuan project 10919, a total investment of 382600000000yuan, the actual investment amount of 170360000000 yuan. Shanghai as China's industrial transfer is an important source, the local government has said industry transfer does not mean that all links in the production chain and enterprises are transferred out of. Pearl River Delta enterprises have to focus on the transfer of thing both wings and the mountains of northern guangdong. According to the International Mould Association Secretary-General Luo Baihui to provide the latest information, Dongguan mold industry is going through from the traditional Hong Kong, Taiwan-funded, Japanese, German, American background to the private enterprises as the main body of the transition, private enterprises to undertake the market order and orientation by the Japanese orders to domestic household appliance market and Europe and the United States auto market" two legs" walk.
Hubei province by the letter appoint director Ouyang Wankun, Hubei Jiangxi provinces has good industrial foundation and strong competitive pillar industry, automobile, petrochemical, engineering machinery, optoelectronics, mold and other industry in the country has a strong influence and competitiveness, Hubei will support the provinces enterprises open up the industry chain, guide resource is centered to advantage company, focusing on cultivating a group with strong financing capability and industrial conformity ability of big company big group of big company big group, these would in the river industrial integration to support and drive action.
" Triangle should be ligament with capital, with property right as the main transaction means, through mergers and reorganization, to create an internationally competitive industrial clusters. Promote the development of electronic communication, modern medicine, fine chemicals and other high technology industry enterprises merger activities, through the transformation and reorganization, make iron and steel, petrochemical, automobile and other industries, form dimensions benefit." Hunan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences Dean Zhu Youzhi said.
" Hunan and Hubei Jiangxi financial market integration is opposite lag,3 provinces should build the property rights trading market relentless efforts." Huazhong University of Science and Technology economy to Dean Xu Changsheng thinks, the financial market is the enterprise crosses the basis of regional cooperation, if China can have several similar to the Optics Valley property rights exchange mechanism, will greatly facilitate the enterprise reorganization of provinces.
At the same time, Xu Changsheng suggested, should be actively encouraged other provinces Sany listed cross-holding among enterprises, strengthening the fundamental link of 3 provinces. " Provincial corporate bonds and commercial paper market construction is imminent, they affect the long-term capital and liquidity requirements."
" I suggest that the Bank of Hankou, Wuhan agricultural firm, Bank of Hubei, Hubei enterprises to actively to Hunan, set up branches in Jiangxi, with local enterprises to establish phylogenetic relationships; similarly, Jiangxi, Hunan banking institutions should also to set up branches in Hubei, to build the middle reaches of the Yangtze River City cluster dynamic financial market."

"Before capital controls, we were reaching out to companies to encourage them to register," says Yiannis Deliyiannis, the company's chief executive.
"Now companies themselves are getting in touch with us to get registered.
Just thinking... if a market/currency collapse/bank bail-in is near and barter is necessary for survival, some one with computer smarts and time could have a e-barter system in place. Completely circumvent fiat.

It was hot in Werner's office. A musty, stagnant hot, the result of ventilation "prioritization" across the entire compound. Dark and dusty too- another example of "prioritization"- with the only sources of light being a pair of already fading TV screens and a flickering desk-lamp. It all made the office an uncomfortable, sweaty place to … More Recompense

by SportingFreak.com • November 27, 2014 • Cricket
Cricket Australia has confirmed that the 25-year-old cricketer Phillip Hughes has died in St Vincents Hospital, three days after being hit on the head by a ball at SCG.
We are extremely sad to announce that Phillip Hughes has passed away at the age of 25 pic.twitter.com/RjIWcqlT2v

Hughes suffered the head injury by a bouncer from NSW paceman Sean Abbott during the Sheffield Shield match at the SCG on Tuesday. He underwent surgery and was in coma but never regained consciousness.
Hughes made his Test debut against South Africa in 2009, had played 26 Tests for his country.

We Australians love the mateship, sports, helping others etc. At the other end of the spectrum what we also love is being in debt. Australians have one of the world's highest if not the highest debt to disposable income ratio. This is getting us closer and closer to a crisis which is not visible to the common eye.
According to the Courier Mail, Australia owes more than $36 billion on their credit cards and this debt is growing at a rapid rate by the day. This works out to be roughly $4757 per cardholder. With the average credit card rate of interest at roughly 18%, it is the most expensive debt one can get into.
With the rate of interest and an average debt of $4757, an individual making only minimum monthly payments will roughly take close to 48 years to be free from credit card debt and in the process paying roughly $13000 in interest charges to be credit card debt free which is for every statistics a very very long time.

I would like to see the ability to nudge control points during a transform or perspective crop. Often times I would like to get more precise with the position of a point and trying to drag the point just doesn't cut it. If there were a way to select a control point and then use the arrow keys to nudge, it would make this process much easier.

Data Breach in End of Life IT Assets; The E-Waste Monster!
Spooky! Dead Computers Tell Secrets!
Data Breach in End of Life IT Assets; The E-Waste Monster!
While we continue to wage a war against dumping e-waste into landfills and promoting reuse or recycle of computers, we are faced with yet another daunting task of managing data security associated with recycled, reused, lost and stolen computers. Most companies, as part of their corporate social responsibility programs, would encourage reusing or recycling their IT assets, but when asked about data security management in these retiring assets, most have none of little or no planning in place.
While businesses are trying to do the right thing by recycling, decommissioning or giving away or donating old computers and obsolete IT assets, they undermining the grave nature of data security breach threat associated with those assets if not handled properly. "In a survey of 350 companies, of which 75% had given away or donated their computers, only 23% had erased data from discarded computers".
A dead computer without proper data security management is like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode!
In May 2013, the Ponemon Institute released its 2013 Cost of Data Breach Study: Global Analysis ("Ponemon Study"), indicating that the average cost of a data breach for US companies in $188 per record. Based on an average 28,765 records per US breach, the Ponemon Study identifies a total organization cost of $5,403,644 per data breach
The Poneman Institute study shows the gravity, financial implications and reputational impact of data breach on an organization.
Healthcare Data Breaches- A few independent studies recently concluded that Healthcare security breaches are on the rise. Scary, isn't it?
According to Information Security & Data Breach Report (November 2012 update) Healthcare entities again accounted for the largest percentage of the data breaches identified in either quarter (Q3: 49% vs. Q2: 40%).
With more and more healthcare organizations adopting Electronic Health Records (EHRs), data security management on assets holding these records have become extremely important. Rising adoption of high-tech devices, HER digitization of records and increased usage of mobile technology, data breaches are even harder to track. As a result of HITECH Act, which is an expansion of HIPAA's privacy and security policies, healthcare organizations are even more hard-pressed to protect and safeguard patient information and notify those whose information has been breached. It is mandatory for these organizations to protect patient data at the most vulnerable stage of an IT asset's life- its end!
End of Life IT Asset Management "Dos" and "Don'ts"
|» –
|Establish clear and concise goals on handling disposition of IT assets
|» –
|Use an eStewards or R2 certified electronic recycler to handle data security while disposing, recycling and remarketing your old computers.
|» –
|Explore options in regards to donation, reuse, remarketing/reselling, recycling of IT equipment and methods of data destruction.
|» –
|Document every piece of data storage equipment. Its not just computers and servers, even printers, scanner, USBs, mobile phones, BOYD devices or a volatile RAM could hold data.
|» –
|Store IT assets in need of replacement. In addition to high cost of storage, fixed asset tax, they can serve a useful purpose, perhaps through reuse, refurbishing or recycling.
|» –
|Discard computers into landfills. It is environmentally unsafe, Illegal*, irresponsible and extremely risky from data security point of view.
|» –
|Give away or donate computers for reuse without handling data security issues first.
Recycle! Recycle! Recycle! But with data security in mind.
It is an irony of electronic waste entering the waste stream at an unrelenting pace, there's a little education on what happens to e-waste in the end. Out of 25% of the total e-waste recycled, a starting 70-80% of it is actually shipped to third world countries, where it gets informally treated, using primitive methods like incineration, acid washing, burning and stripping often by under-aged kids!
"In a recent study, everything from bank records to classified missile test results were found on a random sample of hard drives on eBay. The Ponemon Institute estimates that 70% of data breaches come from offline computers, usually after they have been disposed of by the equipment owner".
Data Destruction is not a DIY project, especially when your reputation, credibility and legal standing is at stake. Seek an eStewards certified recycler.
Certified Recyclers provide open indemnification for data leakage or breach assets they recycle. It is a good idea to outsource managing end of life IT equipment to eStewards Certified Electronic Recyclers, who are qualified and experienced in handling, recycling and data security management in end of life IT Assets as per National Association of Information Destruction (NAID) standards.
When it comes to telling secrets, there are no exceptions!
While decommissioning your IT assets, you're probably separating high-risk data storage devices from the low risk ones. However, even the low risk assets can open up doors to more serious breaches in to sensitive data merely through an ignored, missed, overlooked or hidden piece of information on a low risk asset. The point I am trying to make here is, while decommissioning your assets, place equal emphasis on all assets regardless of perceived risk associated with each.
Reformatting, Wiping or drilling is not enough With data security threats becoming so sophisticated, it is often not enough to just reformat or repartition your drive, needless to say disposing it in a landfill is the least safe bet, and illegal in most states.
Secure data destruction is not accomplished by simply running a software application, formatting, drilling or smashing a hard drive. It is also about complete documentation, serialization, life cycle accountability and establishing a trail of events while destroying each storage device. Secure Data Destruction by a certified e-cycler includes:
|» –
|Secure transportation with chain of custody documentation
|» –
|On-Site Data destruction specifically designed done in compliance with HIPAA, HITECH and as per DOD standards
|» –
|Off-site data destruction under video surveillance with certificate of destruction, fully insured and covered under professional liability insurance
|» –
|Security e-Bins for safe storage of hard drives and storage devices
|» –
|Serialization and documentation of assets
|» –
|Recycling, Refurbishing, Donation Options, Re-marketing/Reselling of IT assets
|» –
|Quarantine or hold assets in safe/secure place while data is migrated to new assets
|» –
|De-install, move or relocate assets securely
|» –
|Certificate of Data Destruction and Certificate of Recycling
Information security and data breaches are on the rise. Data Security is not just as a result of deliberate infiltration by a criminal hacker, it can happen as a result of organization's negligence in handling it's old IT assets; computers, cell phones, printers, media disks and all other data-bearing devices. By carefully reviewing an organization's IT disposal process, and auditing recyclers for required e-waste certifications which ensure specific health, safety and data security requirements, an organization can prevent embarrassing, costly and at times threatening data breaches on end of life assets. Nip the monster than threatens to tell your organizational secrets in the bud, recycle IT Assets responsibly, ethically and with data security in mind!

Information for Bexar County property taxes is available in two places: the county site and the appraisal district site.
The Bexar County site features include:
- Find property tax account and status
- Search for overpayments
- Instructions to get your Bexar County property tax statement through email
The Bexar Appraisal District site has:
- Several forms, including a protest form
- A chart of exemptions
- An extensive property search that gives a wealth of information, including property facts, values, taxing jurisdiction, improvements, land, value history, and deed history.
To test the two different searches, I put Sea World's address in the County search and the Appraisal District search. Nothing shows up in either if you spell the address "10500 Sea World Drive" but both have information if you shorten it to "10500 Sea World Dr". Both give you information for "10500 Sea World".
As a side note, did you know that Sea World pays almost $100,000 in property taxes?

Is a poem equivalent to the particular words of which it seems to be made? I argue that it is not. If we take a poem as constituted by its particular words in their particular order, we produce a surprising (often ignored) logical pressure on how those words can function and mean. If we follow out this particularity, we discover that poems are odd logical constructs. The more explicit we attempt to make the logical particularity of a poem, the more logically strange it becomes. In fact, if poems are logically constituted by what they say, and not by what they mean, they become parodies of language: faux language.

Apr 2 '12
Two weeks ago the Advertising Standards Authority cleared publicity material for the NSPCC after complaints that its reference to child abuse was "disturbing and offensive".
The advertising watchdog investigation concerned a DVD sent as a direct mailing in December. The ASA said such a distressing subject was likely to cause discomfort when presented in any medium. The charity said it recognized that some people would be sensitive to the "difficult" issues of child abuse.
The DVD case carried the text: "Kerry's father asked her to do the unthinkable. And then he filmed it." A leaflet inside the DVD said: "The footage of Kerry is now with the police. As is her father, because she was able to talk to ChildLine."
Seven people complained. Thankfully the ASA did not agree: "We took the view that any discomfort inherent in the subject of child abuse ought to be balanced by the worthwhile purpose of raising awareness of it."
The fundamental point to advertising is to elicit a response. A connection with the brand that makes you feel "yes, that's relevant to me and how I feel". But it goes further than that. Advertising, and all marketing, is supposed to communicate the brand messages – whether they are aspirational, practical or anything else. Above all, advertising is there to provoke an emotional reaction.
The fact that seven people chose to object to this advert suggests to me that it did the trick. They found it "disturbing and offensive"… well, here's the shocker… child abuse, and allowing it to continue, is. The direct mailing made society feel uncomfortable. I made it impossible for people to sit back and 'think about it tomorrow'. It was, in short, inspired, and should, I think, go down on the list as one of the very great campaigns of modern times. It would be interesting to see the effect it had on donations and support. If you would like to donate you can do so online here.
It's easy, however, to do this with an emotive topic like child abuse. One would have to have a heart of steel not to feel disturbed by the issues raised. How relevant is this, then, to day-to-day business?
In an increasingly regulated society, we have gradually fallen into a pattern of desensitizing advertising and marketing. In the B2B world we all pretend to focus on 'needs' and 'drivers' but more often fall back on tangible benefits or expertise demonstration. Some would argue that it's easier to focus campaigns on emotions when you are marketing to consumers – a charity seeking donations or a new bank promoting its launch. Businesses are less emotion-led, surely?
Well, here's a novel thought… businesses don't buy stuff. Businesses don't read adverts or marketing mailings. People at businesses do. And those people all have emotions. Their decisions are all influenced by their emotional reaction to your brand. Ok, the decision-making process may be slightly less reactive, but the influence is undeniable. If you desensitize your marketing approach then the impact of your message will be vastly less effective because it won't tap in to the things that influence purchase decisions.
The most successful B2B advertising and marketing campaigns have recognized the importance of individuals and their emotions – the desire to be seen as a person, rather than a company. It is for this reason that pURL campaigns are on the up and broader campaigns are increasingly talking to individuals, within organizations, rather than faceless corporations.
In summary… bring back emotions. Let's not be afraid of them and let's certainly not complain about them… even though we're British.
Some award-winning campaigns to inspire B2B marketers:
'Rejuvenating the customer conversation' for Lombard Group
'O2 reduced cost and complexity' for O2
'Take off with Magnet Trade' for Magnet Trade
