1822 Born in Stonehaven, Kincardineshire, Robert was the eleventh of twelve children of a local woollen mill owner. His family wished him to study for the ministry but Robert refused, one reason being his inability to master Latin.
He left school at the age of 14 and went to live with an uncle in Charleston, USA, where he was apprenticed to a merchant.
Two years later he returned home and taught himself chemistry, electricity and astronomy with the help of a local weaver who had a knowledge of mathematics.
Robert's father gave him a workshop and by the time he was 17 years old he had rebuilt his mother's mangle so that wet linen could be passed through the rollers in either direction, had successfully designed and built a ribbon saw, and had completed the first working model of his elliptic rotary steam engine which he was to perfect in later life.
He served an engineering apprenticeship in Aberdeen and Dundee before joining a civil engineering company in Glasgow. He then went to work for an Edinburgh firm of civil engineers where he devised a new method of detonating explosive charges by the use of electricity, thus greatly reducing the loss of lives in mines throughout the world.
Thomson next worked as a railway engineer and supervised the blasting of chalk cliffs near Dover for the South Eastern Railway. He set up his own railway consultancy business and proposed the line for the Eastern Counties Railway which was accepted by parliament and eventually developed.
1845 Thomson patented the pneumatic tyre.
1846 He was granted a patent in France in 1846 and in the USA in 1847. His tyre consisted of a hollow belt of India-rubber inflated with air so that the wheels presented "a cushion of air to the ground, rail or track on which they run". This elastic belt of rubberised canvas was enclosed within a strong outer casing of leather which was bolted to the wheel.
1847 Thomson's "Aerial Wheels" were demonstrated in London's Regent Park in March 1847 and were fitted to several horse-drawn carriages, greatly improving the comfort of travel and reducing noise. One set ran for 1,200 miles without sign of deterioration.
1847 Mentioned as Robert William Thomson, 18 Adam Street, Adelphi. Civil engineer.
For many years Thomson was frustrated by the lack of thin rubber and he turned to the development of his solid rubber tyres. It was not until 43 years later that the pneumatic tyre returned, when it was developed as a bicycle tyre by John Boyd Dunlop. Dunlop was granted a patent in 1888 but two years later was officially informed that it was invalid as Thomson's patent preceded it.
1851 At the Great Exhibition Thomson demonstrated his self-filling fountain pen, and an invalid chair with solid rubber tyres.
1852 The following year he accepted a post in Java, where he designed new machinery for the production of sugar, thus greatly increasing profitability. During this time he invented the first portable steam crane but did not bother to patent it.
1862 Williams returned to Scotland and despite ill health, which latterly confined him to a couch, Thomson's genius was undiminished and some of his most significant work was done during the following ten years.
In 1867 he patented solid India-rubber tyres for his road steamers. The Scotsman described this application of vulcanised India-rubber to the wheels of road steamers as "the greatest step which had ever been made in the use of steam on common roads". The resilience of the stout rubber tyres allowed his lightweight five ton steam engine to run on hard or soft, wet or dry surfaces, over obstacles, uphill or downhill. In addition, the thick rubber tyres did not damage the roads as did the iron wheels of heavy traction engines. Thomson's first road steamers, manufactured in his own small workshop in Leith, were fitted with three wheels, the small single wheel at the front being directly below the steering wheel. The tyres, which were 125 mm (5") thick, were corrugated internally and adhered to the wheel by friction.
He designed a 6hp traction engine with a vertical boiler mounted amidships and weighing 5 tons which he had built by T. M. Tennant and Co of the Bowershall Works in Edinburgh.
1871 Designer of five road locomotives that were made in 1871 and these were shipped to India to the order of Rookes Evelyn Bell Crompton.  One was made by Thomson's own company prior to Tennants taking over manufacture. This was Prima. The other four were Chenab, Ravee, Hindus and Sutlej, these were essentially Thomson designs with a small bit of tinkering by Crompton (if that). These four were made by Ransomes, Sims and Head at Ipswich.
Thomson's road steamers, often drawing four fully loaded coal wagons totalling 40 tons up and down steep gradients, excited great interest in the streets of Edinburgh. Soon the first omnibus was in service between Edinburgh and Leith. Engines were exported to Java, India, Canada and Australia, and by 1871 were being manufactured under licence in both the UK and the USA by companies such as Tennant and Co of Leith, Charles Burrell and Sons in Thetford and Robey and Co in Lincoln.
1873 Died at his home in Moray Place, Edinburgh, aged 50. His mind was active to the end and his last patent, for elastic belts, seats and cushions, was filed after his death by his wife, Clara.
DEATH OF Mr. R. W. THOMSON.- We announce with regret the death of Mr. R. W. Thomson well known as the inventor of india-rubber tires for traction engines, or, as he loved to call them, road steamers.
Mr. Thomson was born in Stonehaven, in 1822,and served his time in shops in Aberdeen and Dundee.
At the age of nineteen he started for London, With a very few pounds in his pocket, to push the ideas which he had conceived of firing mines by electnc1ty. He took his invention to Faraday, who approved of it; and Cubitt, possibly on the strength of Faraday's opinion, gave young Thomson employment in carrying out blasting operations near Dover.
He was next employed by the Stephensons. When not more than twenty-two he turned his attention to the use of india-rubber for tires, but the material was so scarce and dear that he made no progress with the invention.
In 1852 he went out to Java to erect sugar machinery, and be there became partner with a manufacturer. Mr. Thomson visited England from time to time, and invented a steam crane and an hydraulic dock about 1860.
In 1862 Mr. Thomson left Java and settled in Edinburgh. The history of the traction engine and tires with which his name is united is too well-known to need repetition here. Mr. Thomson was a great sufferer for several years, and his death was by no means unexpected.
Mr. R. W. Thompson (sic) was born at Stonehaven in 1822. Early in life he was sent to the United States of America to be made a merchant of, but he disliked the calling, and returned to England when sixteen years of age. He spent two years of his life making experiments in chemistry and electricity, interspersed with engineering schemes.
He was next apprenticed to engineering, at Aberdeen and Dundee, filling up his spare moments during this period in inventing a rotary engine, &c.
After serving his apprenticeship during which he made rapid progress, he was employed by the Stephensons.
In 1844 he commenced business on his own account. Two years later he conceived the idea of applying indiarubber tyres to ordinary conveyances. We read in volume xlv. of the Mechanics' Magazine that noiseless tyres had been applied to a brougham which was running in the London parks, the invention of Mr Thompson. Indiarubber at that time was scarce and badly made, so the invention brought in poor returns. Moreover, the powerful railway companies in due course adopted the tyres to the platform handcarts, and paid him no royalty. Thompson sent in a plan for the 1851 Exhibition, which received some attention; and a fountain pen of his invention was sold inside the exhibition.
In 1862 he had settled in Edinburgh. The portable crane was one of his most useful inventions. A traction engine being required for use in Java, from whence Thompson had recently returned, he commenced to design one in harmony with his own ideas, which resulted in his invention of the indiarubber tyres for the wheels, and the "pot" boiler, in 1867, which made his name famous. Although numerous inventors had cherished the idea of applying indiarubber or other soft substances, covered with leather, &c., to the tyres of road locomotives, before 1867, they having no doubt received the inspiration from his noiseless tyres in 1846, yet he was the first to put the idea into practical shape.
In December, 1867, a small road locomotive having a "pot" boiler and vulcanised rubber tyres to the wheels was being tested, and the newspapers pronounced the engine to be "in advance of everything which had preceded it." The steam cylinder was 5 in. diameter, and 8 in. stroke. The engine was mounted upon three wheels, all of which were fitted with rubber tyres, the driving wheel tyres being 12 in. wide and 5 in. thick. Numerous trials were run with this engine, drawing a large omnibus behind, at the rate of 10 to 12 miles an hour. It was said: "Mr. Thompson intends to run the engine over to Glasgow by the road, for shipment to Java, where it is to be used for travelling between two towns, about 40 miles apart, taking in tow a large omnibus full of passengers, or trains of wagons, at the speed which has already been acomplished in the trials which have been made in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. We illustrate by Fig. 64 one of Thompson's road steamers, made in 1868 by Messrs. Tennant and Co., of Leith, for use in the Island of Ceylon.
From the illustration it will be seen, the horizontal engine and vertical pot boiler were mounted upon a wrought-iron frame of channel iron, presenting a neat and compact appearance. This engine was subjected to some severe trials previous to its shipment for Ceylon. We are unable to afford the space to give particulars of a tithe of the trips made by Mr. Thompson with his road steamers. However, in 1869 some trials were made with two 6-horse engines, under Mr. Thompson's directions, which exhibited their tractive power and speed in a remarkable manner. "One of the 6 ton road steamers was harnessed to four wagons of pig iron — weight of iron and wagons, 34 tons — which it drew without an effort or any stoppage from the foot to the top of Granton Road, a distance of a quarter of a mile, with inclines of one in eighteen. Arrived at the top, it turned with its train and ran back to its starting point It may be pointed out that the drawing of 34 tons, besides the engine's own weight, up one in twenty, is equal to drawing 100 tons or more on a level road. The other road steamer was attached to an omnibus which conveyed a party of gentlemen from Granton to Leith. The distance is two and three-quarter miles, and the journey was performed at the rate of over eight miles an hour, that being the highest speed at which it was deemed safe to run through a town."
This road steamer had been built specially for omnibus traffic, and was exceedingly light and compact One morning a road steamer was taken down on to the sea sands at Portobello, and ran up and down there at the rate of ten miles an hour, the rain pouring all the time in torrents. A road steamer was employed at Aberdeen to draw a 15 ton boiler on a 5 ton wagon through some of the streets at three miles an hour. An engineer writes: "It is certainly a feat for a 5 ton engine to drag out a 20 ton load and climb gradients of one in twenty with single gear. We had all Aberdeen turned out as we passed. It was an unusual sight to see the infant 'Hercules' in front of the great boiler, 30 feet long and 7 feet in diameter, bowling along with it like a plaything at its tail, whilst the plaything itself shook the houses again as it danced over the rough causeway."
It would be amusing to quote the foolish statements made respecting the unprotected vulcanised rubber tyres; indeed a great deal of harm was done to the cause of indiarubber tyres by the inconsistent statements of some of their promoters, who invested them with almost marvellous capabilities. One advocate remarked that because the soft tyres resembled the feet of the elephant and the camel, which have large soft cushions in hard hoofs, and as no other animal can bear so much walking over hard roads as they can accomplish, therefore these tyres would pass over newly- broken road metal, broken flints, and all kinds of sharp things without leaving a mark on the rubber. And we were repeatedly informed that the tyres were not affected by heat, cold, or moisture, and were durable beyond all conception; and yet, in the face of all this claimed durability, no end of schemes were being proposed and patented for protecting the surface of the tyres from injury. As one writer nicely puts it, when noticing one of the methods of attaching metal shoes round the tyres: "Considering how much has been said concerning the everlasting properties of the indiarubber tyres, it is curious that so much ingenuity should be expended in affording them protection."
In January, 1870, Mr. Thompson sent out an eight horse road steamer to India, which, though not a success (says Mr. Crompton), proved that the rubber tyres were not affected by climate, and that the engine was handy and manageable.
Four larger engines were eventually Ordered by the Indian Government of which particulars follow. At the Royal Show at Oxford, July, 1870, two road steamers with indiarubber tyres were shown, running about the ground, "twisting, turning — we are inclined to say waltzing — and disporting themselves generally in a manner suggestive of what a pair of gigantic steam kittens or other frolicsome animals might do. One engine was tried without the steel chain armour around the wheel tyre, and on the strain being thrown on one wheel the tyre on that wheel snapped right across."
Fig. 65 shows a section of Thompson's original rubber tyred wheel, which was constructed of wrought iron plates, strengthened by angle iron and diagonal stays, with low flanges on each side to keep the tyres in place. The periphery of the wheel was polished, and then drilled all over with 0.625in. holes. The elastic tyre was made a little less in diameter than the wheel, and being stretched in order to get it on the wheel, had a tendency to contract, which helped to keep it in its place. The boss or nave of the wheel was made of cast iron. The wheel ran with the indiarubber in contact with the ground. To prevent the wheels from slipping on soft and damp roads, the chain armour was introduced. Fig. 66 shows a part side elevation of a rubber-tyred wheel with the chain armour applied. Fig. 67 shows a section of the same wheel. This species of armour consisted of steel plates or shoes, joined together by flat links of malleable cast iron, and was a constant source of annoyance in practice, owing to the breakage of the link pins, and the difficulty of keeping the tyre in its place unless the shoes were very tight. When an indiarubber tyre is working without shoes, at a speed of 8 miles per hour, there is a much greater amount of indiarubber on the leading side than on the following side of the wheel. On the leading side the excess of indiarubber accommodates itself by 'bagging out' as shown by Fig. 68 while in the rear it is in a state of tension, and tightly grips the iron wheel. From this action the indiarubber tyre is continuously working round with a reverse motion to that of the drum. The rate of this motion depends upon the tightness with which it was originally stretched, its density, its thickness, and the weight of the wheel. If the wheel is lightly loaded, the tyre will scarcely move, while if it is heavily compressed, a great portion of it is rolled out towards the front," and the amount of the reverse action becomes very great. Under ordinary circumstances the tyre will move once round the drum in from 30 to 40 revolutions. It is evident that friction must take place in the indiarubber tyre, from its contrary rotation round the iron drum, and also from the continuous change of form it undergoes.
It is self evident from the above remarks that indiarubber tyres, to be successful, should be relieved of all driving strain.
In spite of the bad name, and whatever drawbacks the indiarubber tyres may possess, it is impossible to ignore the following facts, which must be placed to their credit. They act as an excellent spring, and are placed where the spring should be situated — that is, in the nearest point to the road, thus saving the engine from a great amount of wear and tear and rough usage. They are perfectly noiseless. Owing to their flexibility they always possess a regular amount of sur- face of adhesion, which on paved roads is almost indispensable.
The injury to the road may be said to be nil, for there has never been any complaint from the road authorities of any damage done by them ; and they are one of the means devised for enabling a road locomotive to travel over the highway at a sensible speed, say 7 to 10 miles an hour.
Another advantage of the rubber tyre is mentioned by Mr. John Head. "On good macadam its resistance is more than that of the rigid wheel, and on a rough or newly-metalled road, owing to its great surface, it does not sink below the tops of the stones, while the rigid wheel consumes a great amount of power from sinking into the surface of the road with a crushing and grinding action."
The great cost of the rubber tyres had, no doubt, much to do with their ultimate disuse. The failure of the indiarubber tyre at the trials at the Royal Show, at Wolverhampton, in 1871, owing to the slippery state of the land after the excessive rains, is very well known. "The clay was spurted up from under the wheels, and entered between the indiarubber and the rim of the drums, and so lubricated the parts that there was a revolution of the iron rim within the indiarubber."
Thompson's tyres answered well for regular road purposes. The experiments carried out by Mr. Crompton, in India, proved: "(i) That upon the level roads of India, traction engines can be relied on to work a service of trains with great regularity and at a fair speed, and that passengers can be conveyed at eight miles an hour. (2) That the rubber tyres, as used in such running, are of great service in reducing the cost of the ordinary engine repairs, and in giving uniformity of adhesion, without in the least degree damaging the surface of the roads."
Such was the demand for Thompson's road steamers between 1870 and 1873, that Messrs. Tennant and Co., of Leith, could not make them fast enough. Engines of this type were made by Messrs. Robey and Co., of Lincoln ; Messrs. Ransomes, Sims and Head, of Ipswich; Messrs. Charles Burrell and Sons, of Thetford; and others, particulars of which follow.
Thompson's pot boiler was not a success; it was abandoned in favour of the Field vertical, or locomotive multitubular type of boiler. The indiarubber tyres, with suitable protection, continued to be used until the time of Mr. Thompson's death, which occurred on the 8th of March, 1873, he being in his 51st year. Although his two chief inventions were not a thorough success, yet he paved the way for other schemers, and by his efforts steam locomotion on common roads was rapidly advanced.
1922 The centenary of an event which has had a far-reaching effect on mechanical transport was celebrated on June 29th, when a memorial tablet was placed on the house in Stonehaven, Kincardineshire, where R. W. Thomson, the inventor of the pneumatic tire, was born.

fig. 65 shows a section of thompson's original rubber tyred wheel, which was constructed of wrought iron plates, strengthened by angle iron and diagonal stays, with low flanges on each side to keep the tyres in place. the periphery of the wheel was polished, and then drilled all over with 0.625in. holes. the elastic tyre was made a little less in diameter than the wheel, and being stretched in order to get it on the wheel, had a tendency to contract, which helped to keep it in its place. the boss or nave of the wheel was made of cast iron. the wheel ran with the indiarubber in contact with the ground. to prevent the wheels from slipping on soft and damp roads, the chain armour was introduced. fig. 66 shows a part side elevation of a rubber-tyred wheel with the chain armour applied. fig. 67 shows a section of the same wheel. this species of armour consisted of steel plates or shoes, joined together by flat links of malleable cast iron, and was a constant source of annoyance in practice, owing to the breakage of the link pins, and the difficulty of keeping the tyre in its place unless the shoes were very tight. when an indiarubber tyre is working without shoes, at a speed of 8 miles per hour, there is a much greater amount of indiarubber on the leading side than on the following side of the wheel. on the leading side the excess of indiarubber accommodates itself by 'bagging out' as shown by fig. 68 while in the rear it is in a state of tension, and tightly grips the iron wheel. from this action the indiarubber tyre is continuously working round with a reverse motion to that of the drum. the rate of this motion depends upon the tightness with which it was originally stretched, its density, its thickness, and the weight of the wheel. if the wheel is lightly loaded, the tyre will scarcely move, while if it is heavily compressed, a great portion of it is rolled out towards the front," and the amount of the reverse action becomes very great. under ordinary circumstances the tyre will move once round the drum in from 30 to 40 revolutions. it is evident that friction must take place in the indiarubber tyre, from its contrary rotation round the iron drum, and also from the continuous change of form it undergoes.
it is self evident from the above remarks that indiarubber tyres, to be successful, should be relieved of all driving strain.
in spite of the bad name, and whatever drawbacks the indiarubber tyres may possess, it is impossible to ignore the following facts, which must be placed to their credit. they act as an excellent spring, and are placed where the spring should be situated — that is, in the nearest point to the road, thus saving the engine from a great amount of wear and tear and rough usage. they are perfectly noiseless. owing to their flexibility they always possess a regular amount of sur- face of adhesion, which on paved roads is almost indispensable.
the injury to the road may be said to be nil, for there has never been any complaint from the road authorities of any damage done by them ; and they are one of the means devised for enabling a road locomotive to travel over the highway at a sensible speed, say 7 to 10 miles an hour.
another advantage of the rubber tyre is mentioned by mr. john head. "on good macadam its resistance is more than that of the rigid wheel, and on a rough or newly-metalled road, owing to its great surface, it does not sink below the tops of the stones, while the rigid wheel consumes a great amount of power from sinking into the surface of the road with a crushing and grinding action."
the great cost of the rubber tyres had, no doubt, much to do with their ultimate disuse. the failure of the indiarubber tyre at the trials at the royal show, at wolverhampton, in 1871, owing to the slippery state of the land after the excessive rains, is very well known. "the clay was spurted up from under the wheels, and entered between the indiarubber and the rim of the drums, and so lubricated the parts that there was a revolution of the iron rim within the indiarubber."
thompson's tyres answered well for regular road purposes. the experiments carried out by mr. crompton, in india, proved: "(i) that upon the level roads of india, traction engines can be relied on to work a service of trains with great regularity and at a fair speed, and that passengers can be conveyed at eight miles an hour. (2) that the rubber tyres, as used in such running, are of great service in reducing the cost of the ordinary engine repairs, and in giving uniformity of adhesion, without in the least degree damaging the surface of the roads."
such was the demand for thompson's road steamers between 1870 and 1873, that messrs. tennant and co., of leith, could not make them fast enough. engines of this type were made by messrs. robey and co., of lincoln ; messrs. ransomes, sims and head, of ipswich; messrs. charles burrell and sons, of thetford; and others, particulars of which follow.
thompson's pot boiler was not a success; it was abandoned in favour of the field vertical, or locomotive multitubular type of boiler. the indiarubber tyres, with suitable protection, continued to be used until the time of mr. thompson's death, which occurred on the 8th of march, 1873, he being in his 51st year. although his two chief inventions were not a thorough success, yet he paved the way for other schemers, and by his efforts steam locomotion on common roads was rapidly advanced.
1922 the centenary of an event which has had a far-reaching effect on mechanical transport was celebrated on june 29th, when a memorial tablet was placed on the house in stonehaven, kincardineshire, where r. w. thomson, the inventor of the pneumatic tire, was born.

On Sunday, January 20th, our students learned about Isaac. God chose Isaac to continue His covenant with Abraham, but God’s blessing on Isaac’s life did not mean that Isaac never faced strife or conflict. Our world is broken by sin, which means that sin affects every area of life. We can learn from Isaac that the best thing to do in trying times is to obey God and trust Him. Because Isaac trusted God to provide for him, he did not need to fight for what was rightfully his. Instead, Isaac chose peace—again and again. When is the last time your family chose to seek peace with each other? Name a couple of situations you or your kids face each week. Talk about how you can trust God and choose peace in those tough situations. If you'd like to check out the Explore the Bible at Home sheet you can find it here.
Younger Kids Text Truth: Isaac trusted God to care for him.
Older Kids Text Truth: Isaac trusted God and chose to seek peace.
Isaac planted seed and grew over 100 times what he planted. God was blessing Isaac. Isaac became very wealthy. The Philistines wanted to be wealthy like Isaac, so they filled up all the wells that Isaac used. Now instead of water, the wells were full of dirt. The leader of the Philistines, Abimelech, told Isaac to leave.
Isaac left and settled in a new spot, the Valley of Gerar. He reopened some wells that his father had dug long ago. Next Isaac’s servants dug and found a well of spring water. But the herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen over the water. Another well was dug, but they argued over that well too.
So Isaac moved and dug a new well. Isaac knew that God was with him and would take care of him. Isaac and his family moved to Beer-sheba (bee ehr-SHEE buh). That night God appeared to Isaac. “Do not be afraid. I am with you. I will bless you and your future family.” Isaac built an altar to praise God. Then Isaac set up his tent and his servant dug a new well.
Abimelech told Isaac, “We have seen that God has been with you. We want to make a promise of peace with you.” Isaac agreed to have peace. After the men left, Isaac’s servant came to tell him that they had dug a new well and found water. God was with Isaac and taking care of him.

While you might have heard of video marketing, you may yet be unclear as to what it entails. It is a way to use videos online to market your business. When done right, it can really boost profits. The article that you’re about to read is going to go over the basics.
TIP! You should make as many videos as you can. This encourages viewers to keep checking your channel for new content.
You should make as many videos as you can. You should regularly make videos so that people come to expect something new from you when they are on your site. This also increases your exposure on the Internet and draws in new viewers.
Your titles are very important. People need to get hooked. The title is one of the most important factors, and without a proper title, the viewers won’t know what to expect. Therefore, spend a bit of time on your titles.
Video marketing is all about getting to the point quickly. The initial 15 seconds of the videos you make are the most important. You have to give them something that makes them want to keep watching.
TIP! Don’t spend to much time worrying about production value when it comes to generating video marketing content. Large budgets don’t always mean great returns.
Keep YouTube in mind for your video marketing strategy. You should start all of your video marketing efforts on this site. It gives you free hosting for your videos. It is also the third most visited site on the Internet. It is one of the best search engines as far as volume, and it’s also the best video site as well.
Be consistent with the tone of your marketing videos. Funny and quirky approaches to the video can work just as well as a more traditional “how-to” format. Think about what it is exactly you are trying to market and the type of people you are trying to reach. Consider the product and the tone of your other advertising.
TIP! Production is only part of the video marketing process. Promotion is also a huge part of the process.
Any event is a good time to take a video. You may have an opportunity to talk to some people who are experts in your field, or you can just record your experiences. If you do a public talk, don’t forget to ask someone to record that for you.
You need to ask something of your clients in each video. Having a “call to action” is important. If you have a newsletter and you want people to receive it, ask them to opt-in to the mailing list discussed in your video. This makes it easier for your viewers.
TIP! Many people go online every day looking for directions on how to do things. You can attract a lot of people by creating some video tutorials on topics your customers will be interested in.
If your viewers are constantly asking a similar question, record a video that directly addresses their concerns. While many people put FAQs on their website and expect users to read them, it is a good idea to make a video. This provides them with options when receiving information.
Videos don’t go viral by themselves. It is necessary to market the video itself through blogs, websites or social media. People need to know it exists so that they can view it.
TIP! Each video should remain concise and focused. If you aren’t prepared, it’s easy to become distracted.
Make sure you share your videos! Send it to everyone you know. Create a blog post that describes the video on your website. Get the word out to clients through emails. Add it to Facebook, YouTube or other video outlets. Spread the word to everyone!
Do not get bogged down seeking perfection. You don’t need state-of-the-art equipment to market with video. Generally, you can use the basic programs or software that came installed on your computer. You can also use the camera on your smartphone if you need to. Just create great content and stay professional and it’ll work out.
As you can see, video marketing is a surprisingly easy way to reach a large audience. By utilizing the advice in this piece, you might succeed in gaining buyers from across the globe. Use this advice to get the most out of your video marketing campaign.

Situations are created which aim to give staff the experience of what it might be like to be autistic and the challenges this presents.

Is Prince Harry as much of a style icon as his wife Megan Markle? Perhaps the hair and makeup at Thom Browne can tell us. Backstage in Paris, makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo claimed the look’s inspiration was “Eton College boys,” the squad of fluffy-haired aristos whose legions include Princes Harry and William, plus Eddie Redmayne, Percy Shelley, and even George Orwell.
That meant a “boy brow” of the highest degree, with M.A.C Great Brows Powder being brushed directly into the brows, then shaped with pencil and a long-handled lash brush. “Just take the natural shape of the eye and go even bigger and a little bit squarer,” Carrasquillo explained. Meanwhile, stylist Eugene Souleiman completed the beauty look with Wella texturizer—an elevated version of the hair wax that teen boys glob before big school dances.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a big brow this season: At Isabel Marant, makeup artist Lisa Butler touched up the models with Glossier Boy Brow, the American (!!!) style staple seen in college dorms nationwide. Val Garland referenced Brooke Shields’ “big ‘80s power brows” for her look at Giambattista Valli, while Pat McGrath’s team at Stella McCartney expertly restored the full brows that models like Kaia Gerber had bleached off at Valentino.
But, Thom Browne’s brow was by far the most dramatic fashion statement, though perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. After all, besides Will + Harry, Eton also boasts Beau Brummel—who some consider the first-ever fashion influencer—on its alumni list.

Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by Costello, Sep 14, 2006.
As you may already know, the DS-X team was providing us with "exclusive" news about the DS-X - the next-generation flashcart that is scheduled for release in the next few weeks. They also promised that GBAtemp would be the first to receive a prototype of the DS-X.
However today we learnt that our friends over at MaxConsole supposedly received a unit of the new DS-X. Which sadly means that either MaxConsole or the DS-X team is lying to us.
While this may not be of any importance for you, here is another story that you should read more carefully.
• Two members of the DS-X team have asked us to spin a rating of the NinjaDS which we are currently reviewing in an attempt to promote their product.
• The review of the NinjaDS by MaxConsole, written by jpxdude, was originally a fairly non enthusiastic review of the product which is by no means a problem. But zeus, head of MaxConsole and Divineo - (yes, the online shop) modified the review later on in order to give a more negative image to the NinjaDS.
You may draw your own conclusions from these events.
We're not trying to harm anyone, not the DS-X team, not MaxConsole, we are only reminding you that GBAtemp Reviews are, and will always be unbiased. We do not condone spin doctoring in an effort to promote other products unfairly.
If the score in our upcoming review of the NinjaDS is bad or good it'll be because that's what the product deserves, similar with the DS-X. Our main concern is to bring objective, unbiased, lengthy and useful reviews. The impartiality of GBAtemp has been put into question so many times that we felt it was necessary to show you that you can trust us.
Well, here's an angry fellow ! Anyway, is this an article to promote the NinjaDS ?
GBAtemp staff, I'm happy you guys are giving the attention this event it deserves. Trust is something not very popular in the internet, After you telling the thousands of readers this, you probably grow even more. Keep it up for the next milestone 1,000,000 members!
I haven't written the article on my own.
This article comes from the whole staff because all our staffers write reviews.
Well, here's an angry staff ! Anyway, is this an article to promote the NinjaDS ?
This is an article that insures to the public that we do not lean to one side or the other. Our reviews are based on how good the product is, not what people ask us to put in it.
I think this news item obviously promotes the Flash2Advance Serial Linker.
I find it enjoyable to note that the 'Two members of the DS-X team have asked us to spin a rating of the NinjaDS which we are currently reviewing in an attempt to promote their product.' piece coincidentally isn't brought up until after GBATemp realizes that MaxConsole scooped them.
In case any of you care, I'm not affiliated with either GBATemp or MaxConsole. Or anybody else in the 'scene'.
And as a footnote: Across the board, 'review units' explicitly sent to reviewers are generally hand-picked and tested by the manufacturer to ensure that the review won't be marred by unexpected flaws, instead of being any other off-the-assemblyline unit. It's generally safer to only trust personal reviews from people you know. Personally, I'm hoping that this DS-X cart turns out well. I pre-ordered one from modchipman and hope to get it soon.
well i hope this shuts all the people up that keep saying GBAtemp is working together with DS-X. I'm glad you guys got a chance to set things straight, now lets just hope things pan itself out nicly and DS-X will actually be a good cart like they say it wil be.
BTW how much worse can the Ninja-DS review get? I'm starting to think this company is pretty shifty. But regardless if they make a good product i wont care as much.
I'm so not suprised that the ds xtreme group or whatever would try and pull this. Man GBAtemp just made my man-crush list.
Down with the conservative bias!!!
this news is huge in the trust of ds-x and the real greatness of the product. i will wait for future comments before i buy one.
It wasn't brought up because we weren't contacted about the possibility of biasing a review until a few hours ago and we told them no. It's not something we've been sitting on.
It's called responsibility. GBAtemp owes it to their readers (congrats on sharing the news) and DS-X owes it to their potential buyers (shame on you). Honestly, they look to have a good product, and if it is more costly than the NinjaDS, so what! People buy quality and will spend it for that. Here's hoping they have a good product and make up for a lousy launch.
This should come as no surprise to anyone ... What should we expect from people who make a living off of piracy? Of course they are going to do underhanded things to make money.
I hope they at least offered gbatemp some money to write a fake review Well, anyway ... nice work exposing the truth behind MaxConsole and the other parties involved here.
I don't think Zeus is the head of Divineo. His site, however, is a well-known mouthpiece for their products, as are many like it.
