text: Michael John Laekas is the author of five published books that pay tribute to his parents, Mary and John Laekas. In 2009, he embarked on a project to provide a legacy for future generations. The result is a set of books that will appeal to fans of stories about love, war, and family. First came the trilogy Mary and John, The Early Years that describes the rough and tumble world of his parents, from their childhood to young adults. Then he created a remarkable photo album with narrative (Reliving Their Journey) that followed his emotional 47-day visit to places in Canada, Great Britain, and Europe that marked significant events in his parents’ young lives. His latest book is a compelling story of his father’s years as a Canadian soldier during the Second World War in A Soldier’s Journey 1940-1945.

I was born in Christchurch New Zealand and have, for a number of years lived in Auckland.
My qualifications are in engineering; however from the years 2000 to 2009 I dedicated my time to creative computer programming. I essence I developed software to run on the Windows platform and then marketed it.
It required some application of imagination to develop software and in 2009 I used this same imagination to write my first book. This was something I have always wanted to do and quite frankly, once I started I enjoyed it immensely.
Close by to where we live (that's my wife Julie, and me) there is a delightful bush lined stream where we walk most days. It's a beautiful natural oasis in suburban Auckland. This stream was where with a little imagination the two "Louie the Bee" books were "born".
The "Louie the Bee" books are available from Amazon, and Barnes and Noble in hard copy form and a few sell. However I must say the greatest pleasure I gain from writing is seeing the pleasure others get from reading the stories I have created. I feel I have achieved this when I see how the "Louie the Bee" books, that are here in our Auckland libraries; are always in demand. Seeing this has been the absolute true pleasure of writing for me.
Subsequent to the "Louie The Bee Books", I was motivated to write the two "Love Sweet Love" books, by the despair I feel at what man is doing to the planet and how inevitably we will bring about our own demise. In reading "Love Sweet Love" you will know what I mean!
Currently "Love Sweet Love" is only available in eBook format from Smashwords and Amazon Kindle.

Louie the Bee: The World Belongs to the Insects.
by Dave Corrick
The story moves on from "The Insects Prevail" In some ways it is a modern version of “Robin Hood” in that humans affected by greed and dishonesty, find Louie and his compatriots to be a means of gaining justice. Woe betide anyone exploiting others! In this second book about Louie, he and his friends discover an unbelievable place to live. Its a magic story.
Louie the Bee: The Insects Prevail.
by Dave Corrick
Escape in a warm anthropomorphic tale that draws strong emotional responses. A story for the mature reader. It's about an insect community living an idyllic streamside life. Blissful complacency turns to a realisation that all is not well when the community's future is threatened by human activity. Some special powers enable the insects to deal with pending threats. Contains intrigue and mischief!

The Adidas ‘Brazuca’ will be the official match ball at the Fifa World Cup in Brazil next summer.
The new ball was unveiled at a launch ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.
Named by a fan poll in the Latin American country, Brazuca supposedly references something innately Brazilian in style.
The Brazuca has been worked on for nearly three years making it the most-tested ball in history.
Adidas say the new ball will provide “improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch” and that it has been thoroughly tested to “meet and exceed all FIFA metrics for an official match.”
It is made up of six identical panels and the colours and ribbon design symbolise the traditional multi-coloured wish bracelets worn in the country.
The official Adidas ball has been trialled under cover in several matches already.
“My first impression of ‘Brazuca’ is of a ball that is fantastic and we’re going to have a lot of fun with it,” said Barcelona and Brazil defender Dani Alves.
“Adidas has created an incredible-looking ball fitting for a tournament as big as the FIFA World Cup” added the Brazilian full-back.

While the majority of us live in coastal counties, most are unaware of the astounding insular variety in the United States. Islands of America explores well-known coastal islands like Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts and Kodiak Island, Alaska as well as more obscure inland destinations including Melita Island, Montana and Antelope Island, Utah.
There are 20,000 named islands in and between our shining seas that appeal to myriad desires, curiosities, sensibilities and needs. Come ashore to places where tidal cycles mean more than clocks, bears and bison roam free and your fish was caught that morning. Along the way, get to know the artists, chefs, divers, farmers, shipwrights and tribal leaders who call these havens home.
I’ve explored islands since I could walk, traveling with my family to the shores of Maine, Maryland and North Carolina. As an adult I’ve visited islands in Africa and Europe, and I live on Georgia’s Tybee Island. Since 2012, I’ve visited 75+ islands in 24 states, bringing my American tally to 130+…and counting! It’s my pleasure to introduce you to these water-framed wonderlands.

Indian sports fraternity celebrates National Sports Day on August 29 in the memory of hockey wizard and magician Major Dhyan Chand every year. Sports teaches us character, it teaches us to play by the rules, it teaches us to know what it feels like to win and lose, it teaches us about life.
Khelo India movement is gaining momentum as we come across more and funds are allotted to this cause to give importance to sports in this country. Thanks to the initiative taken by our Prime Minister and sports minister and the care taken by sports associations, all see our country’s flag is flying high in the world of sport. Even though we are not able to gain much in Olympics medals in recent times, our overall performance in other sports is creditable.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet project Khelo India has been the main gainer by getting additional Rs.170 crore in the Union Budget proposal presented by the Finance Minister. Khelo India school games showed much promise. It is encouraging to note that shot putter Khelo India movement is taking shape in sports circle, thanks to the initiative taken by PM in encouraging sports from the grass root level. It was an excellent show by the Maharashtra men and women and we feel proud to be number one on medals tally in the first Khelo India School Games. Kudos to Team Maharashtra.
Young Kiren Rijiju appointment as sports minister in Modi’s government is a right step in the right direction. The Target Olympic Podium Scheme is one of the many steps the Centre has implemented in nurturing young sporting talent more so for budding athletes. This scheme is not just about giving them exposure but taking care of them in all walks of life.
The Under 19 World cup win in separating them from boys to men in an inspired game of cricket. The goal of making sports a sustainable career is the main aim of the government. However, the game of cricket is given undue importance.
Indian sports is full of stories of champions triumphing despite the system and not because of it. These are individuals, who defy tremendous odds and don’t let the apathy and nepotism of administrators and the absence of even basic infrastructure hamper them. In the 10 metre air pistol, Sourabh Chaudhry, 15, from a farmer’s family in UP became the youngest Indian ever to win an Asian Games gold. Catch them young is true for sportsmen in India.
Indian badminton team is in high spirits as PV Sindhu is winning medals in Super Series and she is the shinning star in the Indian sports horizon. Now she made history by winning the badminton World Championship. Pullela Gopichand deserves all praise for picking the right choice in an individual game. Khelo India movement is going on in high spirits as more and more medals are pocketed by our sportsmen and sportswomen and Indian flag is flying in the field of World sports. Apart from cricket, other games are also getting much needed boost in the recent times. Our enthusiastic sports minister Kiren Rijiju wants India’s youth to gun for the bulls eye through the Khelo India programme and reap a rich harvest of medals and accolades for the Indian sports contingent. Many sports personalities are getting the honour Arjuna Award and other civilian awards up to Bharat Ratna to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
Jeev Milkha Singh is an Indian professional golfer who became the first player from India to join the European Tour in 1998. He has won four events on the European Tour becoming the most successful Indian on tour. Mary Kom is an Indian boxer who has the distinction of being a five-time World Amateur Boxing champion. This biography of Mary Kom provides detailed information about her childhood, life, achievements, works and timeline in a big way. Likewise many more biopic came to Bollywood about Indian sports personalities and that includes MS Dhoni and Milkha Singh. ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ was an inspiration for young sports talent in India.
In the field of hockey, we are lagging behind much after showing early promise in Olympics and other World sports events. But of late, the performance is not good enough to cheer about. The training methods in India should match that of European countries in the field hockey. Youngsters should be tried out Astro Turf to gain maximum experience and the much needed exposure. Both Snooker and Billiards are getting the feel India with many champions in the making. Chess, Carrom and Table Tennis are the best indoor games. Shiva Keshavan is knocking Winter Olympics for 5 seasons and lasting for 22 years with a flourish. All in all, Indian sports in true spirits thanks to the Khelo India initiative. Hockey is a national sport and we must encourage the sport from grassroot level.
Nothing succeeds like success and the recent success in Asian Games with over 50 medals in our kitty is an encouraging performance and we wish to continue the good work of our athletes in the days to come and bring more laurels to the country. India’s sportspersons are not only wanting to excel but also showing deep desire to win. Today is National Sports Day. Our sincere hope and appeal for today and every tomorrow, is free and easy access to sports, across every city, town, gully and field. All this, so that we become healthier at home awards and accolades in the years to come.

CLEVELAND — At this point, it appears to be a matter of not "if," but "when" CC Sabathia will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
And when he is, Cleveland Guardians owner Paul Dolan is hopeful that Sabathia's plaque will include a Cleveland Indians hat.
"CC was obviously a big part of our organization," Dolan told 3News' Dave DeNatale ahead of Wednesday's Greater Cleveland Sports Awards, where Sabathia was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award. "I still hope that when he goes into the Hall of Fame, he goes in as an Indian, because that's what he would be."
As for the likelihood of that actually happening, it's murky at best.
While Sabathia's Hall of Fame monitor score of 128 on Baseball-Reference makes it appear likely that the left-hander will be enshrined in Cooperstown one day, the case for him being inducted as a member of the Indians isn't as strong. During his 19-year Major League career, Sabathia spent 7.5 seasons in Cleveland, with the final 11 years of his career coming as a member of the New York Yankees.
Although his lone American League Cy Young Award campaign came as a member of the Indians in 2007, the Vallejo, California, native posted three of his four highest single-season win totals in New York. Sabathia also accumulated more strikeouts, a lower ERA and a higher total Wins Above Replacement (WAR) in New York, where he also won the lone World Series title of his career in 2009.
But while it seems more likely that Sabathia -- who will first be eligible for the Hall of Fame ballot in 2025 -- will don a Yankees cap than an Indians one on his Hall of Fame plaque, there's no doubting that Cleveland is very much a part of the six-time All-Star's story. That much was clear on Wednesday night, as Sabathia was honored in the city where he first established himself as one of the best pitchers in baseball history.
"I'm really just pleased for him," Dolan said. "The success he's had in his career and maybe even more importantly, the success he's having post-career. The impact he's having on kids across the country, starting here in Cleveland, is fabulous. So it's really wonderful to be able to honor him here in Cleveland and recognize all that he's achieved."

South West forecourt market "buoyant" with demand outstripping supply
Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has revealed an increase in demand in the South West forecourt sector for the first half of 2016, with this demand looking set to continue into the second half of the year.
When compared with the same period in 2015, Christie & Co has sold 50 % more forecourts and has seen 75% more forecourts go under offer with most attracting multiple bids.
This strong demand in the region has been driven by a number of factors including private equity groups investing in the sector, fuel margins remaining relatively stable for the last 12 months and the change in consumer spending where forecourts are benefiting from the ‘top up shop’. This trend has increased in the last five years where consumers visit a supermarket once every one to two weeks with the so called ‘top up shop’ filling the gap for essentials.
David Morris, Business Agent at Christie & Co explains, “With the convenience channel set to grow by over 11.5% by 2021 (IGD five year forecast) there is no doubt that forecourts are set to benefit from a slice of this growth and this is also helping to drive interest in the forecourt sector, particularly from existing operators. In addition to this, the forecourt sector is seeing a lot of attention from private equity – not only in the South West, but also across the rest of the UK.”
Christie & Co has also revealed the impact that changing economic conditions are having on the forecourt sector. With an increase in the National Living Wage and changes to employee pension contributions on the horizon, David explains how this will impact on the large numbers of independent operators across the region.
“The South West has a large number of independent owners operating one or two sites and, as costs rise, due to legislative changes, their businesses will not be as profitable. Corporate operators have an advantage in this situation as they will find it easier to absorb this cost, so the effects are not felt so deeply.
“However, on the positive side for those looking to sell in current conditions, forecourt owners in the South West often find that the bricks and mortar value of their business is stronger in comparison with Wales or the Midlands and so provides a safer investment for a potential buyer, thus making businesses in the region more attractive. With many businesses having been held by a private individual or family for many years, they will have had time to build up these businesses to a level that is attractive to the corporate and regional multiple operator and we are seeing that it is currently these buyers who are predominantly looking to purchase.
“That said, first time owners, many with extensive retail experience, are still very active in the market, alongside regional multiples and larger corporate operators.
“Regional multiple and corporate operators are often seeking the freehold interest with leasehold opportunities proving more attractive and often more cost-effective to the first time owner. Creating a new lease has also become a popular alternative as freehold owners look to create an investment without relinquishing their freehold interest in the property.
“It’s fair to say that the South West forecourt market is busy and buoyant, with both buyers and sellers looking to move quickly.”

Although it was a cold, gray April day outside, in the Cheney greenhouse 20 or so garden clubbers were warm and cheery learning to make topiaries under the direction of Karen Thomson of Tomson Topiaries. Karen had brought everything we needed to turn wire forms into garden sculpture in basically three easy steps: First we squeezed dry some wet moss and packed it into and around the edges of the form. Secondly we held the moss in place with a peace of fishing line tied to the form and continuously wrapped around the form. The fishing line was barely visible after the ivy was placed on the form. Third, we made small holes in the moss using a pointed plant dibbler to make room for the roots of the ivy and flowers going into the form. We anchored the plants in the holes with a little patch of moss and U-shaped metal pins. That was it; easy peasy. Eventually as the plants grow, they will need to be pinched back to keep the shape of the form. Weekly the topiary will need to be soaked with a hose or placed into a tub of water to keep it moist.
The finished products were as varied as their makers:

The Reef Approved For South LA, Some Neighbors Balk
The Reef, a controversial, high-end project in South LA, was just approved by the LA City Council.
It was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission last week and would consist of more than 1,400 condos and apartments.
However, critics have voiced concerns, arguing the residences would be unaffordable for many locals, the LA Times reports.
There is also concern the Reef would drive up local housing prices, pushing out those who live in the neighborhood.
Some residents had wanted 50% of the units to be set aside for affordable housing.

Welcome to the working week Popsters, “I know it don’t thrill you, I hope it don’t kill you….”
Take heart, Spring is in the air, not to mention the baseballs!
Ah yes, it is the season of rebirth, an awakening after all of those short days and early sunsets. The inviting Spring air is filled with romantic potential, late night breezes filled with the sweet smells of orange blossoms and lilacs in full bloom and….honestly, it’s all enough to make you sneeze uncontrollably until your burning eyes pop straight out of your head. Yes, like the other three seasons, Spring is a mixed bag and in the end will only ever be what you choose to make it.
And with that, it’s time once again for all the news that’s fit to POP for this week!
• Walking Dead Mad Men
The Walking Dead has ended it’s season and Mad Men has finally returned after a very, very long hiatus but this bit of brilliance asks the question; what if we simply combined the two? Seriously, this is hilarious, check it out!
• Ethan Coen’s The Day the World Ends
Writer Ethan Coen is best known for his work as one half of the widely successful cinematic team, The Coen Brothers, responsible for some of the best films of the last two decades including but not limited to; Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, Fargo, No Country For Old Men and, most recently, True Grit. In his off time Ethan is a fairly prolific author of stage plays, short stories and some wickedly bizarre poetry.
Last week Coen released the hilarious, (and slightly disturbing) collection of poems titled, The Day the World Ends. This collection is NOT for the faint of heart, if you take life, and poetry, too seriously, this book isn’t for you. If, however, you appreciate the absurdity of our world, and aren’t too disturbed by humor focused largely on the taboo subjects of incest, sexual perversion and bestiality, you will enjoy this laugh out loud assortment of odd prose.
Coen’s latest collection is what I imagine e.e. Cummings might have sounded like as a teenager caught in the throws of a confusing puberty or Charles Bukowski passing dirty notes in high school. It’s true, these new poems of Coen’s are brilliantly immature and, more often than not, a lot of fun. That being said, there are times when Coen seems like he may be trying a bit too hard to shock or surprise and the frequency that he references sex with animals is funny at first and then, after a few too many, becomes more than a little disturbing.
Animal fucking aside, the title poem, The Day The World Ends, is a hilarious gem that opens with the line, “The day the world ends there will be the sound of a long whining fart and everyone on the street will stop and look at each other as if to say, what the hell is that?” I don’t know about you but, anyone who writes a poem predicting that the end of civilization will include a “long, whining fart” is O.K. in my book.
I’m including two of my favorites for you from the collection today. The first is one of the more thoughtful and mature, the second….well, it’s damn funny, (and really sick), enjoy!
Uh-huh, I loved you once, it’s true,
And acted like the man that I believed you’d be attracted by-
And I myself believed the lie.
How hard, though, being someone new!
If I’m not him, I guess we’re through.
I’m me again- it’s sad, it’s true.
I loved you once, and that’s a fact.
Was it a sin to try and make
A better me for your love’s sake?
A Dream we weave- but then we wake.
Prince cramps me up; alas, I lack the limberness to not change back
to a frog again- and that’s a fact.
What can I say, what can I do?
It turns out I cannot be who
We both can live with, me and you.
The better me was not quite true;
The truer me can’t stand to stay;
You wouldn’t like him anyway.
What can I do, what can I say?
When their pug began humping his leg
Uncle Vern shook his head at Aunt Peg:
“Can’t deny that I’ve snuck her the odd little fuck,
but we can’t have her starting to beg.”
• Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope
♦ ♦ ♦ out of 5
I feel like I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this film to come out and, this past Friday, it finally did, both On Demand and also at a theater near you.
So, my verdict? It’s pretty damn good. Of course, you would be hard pressed to make a bad documentary at the San Diego Comic-Con, all one need do is point the camera in any direction and start shooting, the rest will take care of itself.
One of the reasons I was so anxious to see this doc is that I was actually in attendance at the 2010 Comic-Con and, on more than one occasion, watched as director Morgan Spurlock raced across the convention room floor to catch a particular moment or event.
Just for fun today I thought I would include some never before seen film we shot at Comic Con 2010. It’s basically just some raw stuff recorded by my filmmaking partner Robert Sucato on 7/24/2010 for the “Life in a Day” film project. The footage was shot on a Canon 5D (1080 24p) and an iPhone 4 (1200×1600 24p) for the time lapse. All high definition.
It’s kind of a nice day in the life overview, beginning at the hotel and continuing on to the end of the day. The two questions I’m asked at the end are; “What do you love?” and “What scares you?” Keep an eye out for some major celebrity cameos as well! Enjoy!
• The April New Music PopCast
The Pop Bitez PopCast began in December of 2010 and in that time I’m proud to say we have been rocking some pretty excellent tunes! It’s been a lot of fun and I’m very thankful to have so many of you tuning in!
As far as introducing you to the new stuff, more often than not, you’ve heard a lot of big hits here first! If you’ll allow me to gloat a bit, in our PopCast dated 8/26/2011 we featured a new song from Gotye called “Somebody That I Used To Know“. A full 8 months later the tune is currently ranked at number 1 on Billboard’s Rock Charts and is also one of the most covered tunes in the last six months by indie artists on youtube. You’ll also be hearing the song on Saturday Night Live this coming weekend when Gotye takes the highly coveted musical guest spot. Pop Bitez listeners also will remember they heard “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People a full six months before most everyone else did in the United States. So, what’s my point? My point is, we know a great tune when we hear it and WE ROCK! If you haven’t subscribed to the bi-weekly PopCast on iTunes yet, now would be a perfect time!
This week we’ve got some great new stuff from The Shins, The All American Rejects, Norah Jones and Dr. John (to name but a few), so, what are you waiting for? Start rockin’!
(on a side note, after listening to this week’s PopCast I have decided to do my best to abandon the word “groovy” once and for all. I’ve been trying to bring it back but these days I just sound like an old, dumb hippie…and I really hate old, dumb hippies.)
• Zombie Ass
If ever there was a culture designed to inspire deep feelings of profound xenophobia it’s Japan. It’s true, not only do I not understand them, they often scare the shit out of me. There I said it. Here’s a new trailer for their latest export, (where’s Godzilla when you REALLY need him?)
* This coming weekend I’m going to be seeing Oscar winner Kevin Kline on Saturday night and Squeeze, (one of my all time fav brit bands), on Sunday! I can’t wait! I’ll be sure to tell you all about it next monday! Until then, Cry when you need to, laugh when you can and if you see the devil hitching for a ride don’t bother picking him up, (cuz he’s always gonna wanna drive!) On a personal note; hang in there Lisa Robin, it’s darkest before the dawn and tomorrow is another day to make it right!
Until next time Popsters, Cheers!- Scott

Paulwaat is film about a middle-class youth who attempts to follow his dreams in the gut-wrenching bowels of Mumbai’s music industry. While the film has, at its heart, an honest story, it is let down by poor technique and direction. Apart from failing to capture, in any measure whatsoever, the essence of the struggle that one has to truly endure in Mumbai, it also fails to explore some potentially interesting characters and relationships. Poor attention to detail adds to the woes of this film. Though by no means an unwatchable film, one sorely misses a strong directorial voice in this honest story.

How Storytelling can Improve the SEO Ranking on Your Business Website
A guide to how integrating stories into your business website can help your marketing strategy and increase brand loyalty
As digital marketing spends increasingly concern themselves with using programmatic advertising and SEO becomes more of an integrated discipline, how can SEOs and content marketers use storytelling techniques content to drive return on investment (ROI)?
At first glance, despite the buzz around storytelling in the wider marketing industry, the two can seem very separate, especially to those who concentrate in technical aspects of optimisation. But when it’s done right, incorporating storytelling as part of the overarching content strategy can provide the emotional engagement and useful information that boosts the fundamental goals of any SEO or content campaign: conversions and traffic to your company website.
The rise of programmatic marketing means that it’s even more important to deliver highly targeted, resonant content to clearly-defined audience segments.
Why is storytelling so popular among readers?
Stories might be something that we tend to associate with young children, but regardless of our age our brains are hard-wired to respond to stories. Neuroscience shows that when we are told a story it activates sensory and motor regions of the brain – just as it would if we were living through those experiences.
This makes content that involves storytelling elements much more engaging. And engagement translates to not just shares and traffic, but also increased ‘likeability’ and positive emotional associations; the secret sauce to loyalty and increased sales.
Doesn’t this work better for a business advertising rather than website content?
It’s easy to think of adverts and social campaigns that use stories effectively: just think of Compare the Market’s meerkats or Lidl’s Surprises campaign, which focused on bite-sized tales from consumers discovering their products.
But look at how both Instagram and BT position content on their blogs. Instagram feature inspiring and often moving stories from its users, like Jack Lowe. The photographer and printer is reconnecting with a childhood passion for lifeboats by shooting every RNLI station in the UK and Ireland.
Stories aren’t just for B2C brands either. One of the services BT provides to small businesses is a remote working network and to showcase this they featured the Carlene Jackson, who serves British clients while living in the French Alps. Her first person story about the strain commuting was putting on her home life and the stress it was causing her staff, compared to the way remote working allows her to live and work in an idyllic setting, is much more compelling than if similar information was presented as a straightforward informational blog.
So what’s the story when you’re a business?
It’s not just about your business – the real story is in how your customers interact with and use your services, particularly for long-form or visual onsite content. As 2015 is predicted to be the year that user-centric content separates winners from losers, incorporating storytelling gives a clear competitive advantage.
The first step to this is finding out what your customer’s stories are, beyond how they use your product or service. What are the wider issues in your niche? What are the deeper-seated reasons why customers use your service? What are their experiences when doing so?
This is where imagination and data meld. Creativity is important, but if it’s not targeted you’re taking the marketing out of content marketing. Google Analytics and Share Tally are useful for seeing which of your existing content is getting views and engagement.
But this won’t tell you about the potential stories you’re missing out on. For that, social monitoring tools can give you a broader cross-section of data, from what people are saying about your brand, to popular topics of conversations and the most-shared content within your niche.
Once you’ve identified what stories are relevant to your niche, how you tell them is just as important as what you’re telling. Featuring user-generated media and the stories behind it works well for Instagram, and this doesn’t have to be limited to B2C companies. For example, a company that sells or manufactures kitchen equipment could collaborate with restaurants who use their products, sharing photos and stories of life in the kitchen and how their product helps.
For other sectors interviews as part of whitepapers or blogs can work well, or visualising it in a way that incorporates data or other information to tell a story. Storytelling isn’t just for novelists – it gives content the edge it needs to achieve key SEO metrics.

Mobile World Congress 2017
What will we remember of this year’s fair? Please find our selection of interesting announcements.
Withings becoming Nokia
One of the first things that drew our attention, is the re-branding of the Withing products to Nokia. Indeed, after the company has been bought by the Finnish brand last year. Nokia is slowly building a new product strategy after a long period of silence. We are really curious how they are going to manage the transition. The new brand Withings is quite popular amongst the Y generation. Nokia is known for its quality, especially for people in their 30’s and 40’s. We will keep an eye on it to see which new product they will introduce this year!
Wing: The world IoT network from Nokia
Besides the transition from Withings to Nokia, the brand also unveiled their solution for IoT: Worldwide IoT Network Grid (Wing). It aims to connect all the IoT products through Wi-fi, Satellite, 2G, 3G, 4G and Lora on a universal network, wherever you are on the planet. This is really interesting news because people are becoming more and more mobile and the notion of borders tends to become more and more blurry. A user scenario is that an activity tracker can exchange data with servers everywhere thanks to a virtual Simcard.
Nokia 3310 & Blackberry
To conclude on Nokia we also like to talk about the revival of the 3310 (produced by HMD), which was one of the stars of the MWC. It can be quite surprising when smartphones today are mostly about big screens and powerful processors but it also shows that sadly, Nokia is a brand that appears to decline in the mobile industry. If this phone attracts that much interest, it is probably because the smartphone market is becoming overcrowded and maybe less exciting.
Just as Nokia, Blackberry also launched a phone with their original DNA, the KeyOne. A business focused smartphone with a keyboard. Will this be enough compared to all their competitors?
Another company that caught our attention is this French start-up that makes connected trackings for rhinoceros (which is an endangered species). Sigfox launched the project “Now Rhinos Speak” to prevent the extinction of this species. For only 30 euros, this sensor is directly integrated into the horn of the rhino.
Sony Xperia touch
Powered by Android, this projector is able to turn any surfaces up to 23” into a touch interface. We find it quite interesting how projection technology can be used in all kind of different ways. We would like to use it while prototyping and be able to project an image on a material.
The new brand Echo is also quite interesting for us. Without making a complete revolution in the smartphone industry, they offer a really nice innovation through shape and materials for a new look and feel. We are curious if we can apply the same process to different IoT products.
Finally, we also like the LG G6 for the rounded corner screen. It’s opening new opportunities in screen integration for products!

Absolutely Awesome !!!. I have recently tried baking a Southern Style Rice Pudding in the oven and it was good, but this recipe calls for making it on the top of the stove, which in my opinion is no comparison.
If you make it exactly as is, and use the right ingredients you'll be in HEAVEN.
The only deviation i did was add very little cinnamon and nutmeg as i was cooking, just enough to keep the color of the finish product white and creamy. My family devoured it before eating dinner. REMEMBER to use the short gain rice and the best ingredients. Again, this was great, the best i ever had.

Quotes: Kirsty Wark slams BBC pay gap; Morgan Freeman denies sex claims
"The idea that women should be paid less for doing an equal job is absolutely outrageous and what happened was that either knowingly or unknowingly, the BBC let that grow... and so it is being redressed now and it will have to be redressed."
Newsnight host Kirsty Wark criticises the BBC's gender pay gap in Good Housekeeping magazine.
"I did not create unsafe work environments. I did not assault women. I did not offer employment or advancement in exchange for sex. Any suggestion that I did so is completely false."
Hollywood star Morgan Freeman responds to allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behaviour.
"I'm incredibly embarrassed and deeply sorry to have done that to Jessica. This is a big learning moment for me. I shouldn't have tried so hard to mansplain, or fix a fight, or make everything OK."
Actor Jason Bateman tweets an apology to his Arrested Development co-star Jessica Walter after appearing to defend Jeffrey Tambor's verbal harassment of her in a cast interview.
"We carried on chatting and it was obvious she thought I was someone else, so I said: 'Do you think I am Zoe Saldana?' Victoria was absolutely mortified."
Thandie Newton jokes on The Graham Norton Show about the time Victoria Beckham confused her with fellow actress Zoe Saldana.
"I think next year might be the last one, certainly for a while. We may come back, who knows? There's a huge gap in the books, about 15 years."
Poldark star Aidan Turner says that he believes the next series of the BBC drama may be the last one for quite a while.
"I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his s*** together is a very major problem."
Pop star Ariana Grande hits back at a fan who criticised her for ending her relationship with rapper Mac Miller, which she described as "toxic".
"I was asked to speak, and to have sections where I would take on Dale's voice, and at first I said, 'Are you sure?' And his friends and family said 'Yes of course, to hear his voice, that's really what we want.'"
Comedian Jon Culshaw shares his surprise at being asked to impersonate Dale Winton at the late TV star's funeral.
"To label it at all, when we don't ever question women discussing the things they are struggling with, contributes to the ever disastrous historical stigmatisation of men expressing themselves emotionally."
Musician James Blake takes to Twitter to hit back at the term "sad boy" being used to describe his music, and calls for less stigmatisation of men who express themselves emotionally.
"I'm sure my great-great-great-grandkids would watch the show in 100 years from now and think no way were we part of the suffragette movement and no way we got Italian roots, so it's something that has dawned that is really special that all the family members can look back on."
Michelle Keegan speaks about discovering she has links to the suffragettes – and also Italy – while taking part in the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? series.

10 Jun Beauty parlour design: the design and furnishing of the Verdeaqua Wellness Centre in Landriano (IT)
Beauty Parlour Design
The VerdeAqua Wellness Centre in Ladriano (IT)
Dr Gabriela Cusaro came to us wanting a modern wellness centre to be designed for her expanding beauty treatment business.
Our design brief was to recreate the same feeling of space and light present elsewhere in the pharmacy, which we had renovated some years before. Our renovation transformed small stuffy rooms into well-lit spaces in harmony with the exterior and linked together by unbroken lines of prospective passing out through wide floor-to-ceiling windows facing a lovely park in full bloom.
In essence, the design and furnishing of the VerdeAqua wellness centre aims to stimulate new emotions and positive energy in the clientele visiting the store, which is located in a new shopping centre outside Pavia and combines three interlinked yet distinct activities – that of a pharmacy, wellness centre and sex shop.
Attention to detail was critical for the successful realisation of the project as the wellness centre’s interior décor follow the project’s design brief to the letter and create a pharmacy that stimulates customers to react positively the interiors, soaking up their vital energy.
Through dynamic floor lighting and indirect lighting from the treatment rooms, we were able to create an very positive atmosphere in the open space at the store’s centre where customers relax while waiting. Furthermore, ample use was made of the internal walls, which were transformed into precious mosaics using modern technology.
Areas where customers can take a break alternate with areas where customers can try out products and display areas featuring products used in the wellness centre’s beauty treatments.
The design and styling of this wellness centre cum beauty parlour was perfectly combined with the store’s more functional needs. For example, white methacrylatereception desks are softly lit by flower-shaped lamps, backlit Plexiglas vases hold scented plants and light cubes guide the customer around the corridors and walk ways.
Dr Gabriela Cusaro’s desire to push the concept of the pharmacy to new limits and widen pharmacists’ horizons has led to the opening of a beauty parlour in her very own pharmacy in 2001 and then the creation of a modern and fully-function wellness centre 6 years later.

male - The government of the Maldives archipelago has declared a state of emergency for thirty days. That happened after the discovery of a quantity of weapons and explosives, according to local media.
The security forces discovered thereby plans to use the weaponry. In two days are mass demonstrations on the archipelago in the Indian Ocean at the program organized by the opposition party, the MDP.
President Abdulla Yameen put on the advice of the National Security Council signed the decree on the state of emergency Wednesday around noon (local time) starts. The announced demonstrations to be probably canceled because the freedom to take action is limited by the state of emergency.
In late September, there was an explosion on the speedboat of the president. The government said the explosion was caused by a bomb. The FBI said later after investigation it was not a bomb. The Vice President of the archipelago, was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the explosion. The president remained in the blast unharmed but two others were injured.

A version of this story appeared in CNN’s What Matters newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up for free here.
One distressing headline out of New Hampshire as voters prepared to cast in-person primary ballots was that a fake version of President Joe Biden’s voice had been used in automatically generated robocalls to discourage Democrats from taking part in the primary.
It’s not distressing because of the message, per se – Democrats had penalized New Hampshire for insisting on holding its primary Tuesday. Biden was not even on the ballot, although a write-in campaign was launched on his behalf.
The distressing thing is that while the audio appears to be fake, it sounds just like the president and even uses his trademark “malarkey” catchphrase. Listen to it here.
Who created the audio? Who is behind the robocall? There have been warnings for years about a new era of deepfakes being used to manipulate US elections, from within or outside the country. That era is undeniably here.
I talked to Donie O’Sullivan, CNN’s correspondent covering both politics and technology, who has been on this story for years. Excerpts of our conversation are below.
There’s going to be a lot more of this
WOLF: You cover this stuff every day. What crossed your mind when you saw this headline?
O’SULLIVAN: It’s probably one of the first of many, many, many headlines and stories like this that we are going to be seeing this year.
If we’re not already in it, we’re on the precipice of an explosion of AI-generated disinformation.
It’s most likely that this audio was created using artificial intelligence. I think we’ve all kind of become familiar with the fact that this technology is out there, but I think we’re ready to kick into gear with this current election campaign.
Importantly, there’s been a lot of focus on fake videos over the past few years.
But from the experts and other folks we’ve been speaking to, I think there’s a big concern about audio.
What is a deepfake?
WOLF: Terms like “deepfake” are probably new to a lot of people. What is the basic glossary people need to know to stay on top of things?
O’SULLIVAN: “Deepfake” normally refers to a fake video that has been created using artificial intelligence. It is basically a fake video that looks very realistic.
Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has made the creation of fake images, videos and audio way easier.
AI makes fake videos, images and audio differently than how it has been done traditionally, which was by slicing audio together or by Photoshop. This is the machines, the computers themselves, making the images and audio.
This is a fundamentally different type of technology, and it is a lot more realistic.
Who is making this stuff?
WOLF: What do we know about who might be behind this? Not this specific instance, because we don’t know, but what do we know about who is doing this type of thing?
O’SULLIVAN: Anybody and everybody. The challenge we’re going to have in 2024 is that really anybody can make these pretty convincing deepfakes.
A few years ago we did stories about the threat of this type of technology. But then it might only be the likes of a nation-state, Russia or China or somebody else who really has access to this technology.
I think we’ve all seen over the last 14 months or so with ChatGPT that now we all tend to have access to this crazy and powerful technology.
I will give an example for this time last year:
I tried out fake audio creation software, which is widely available online, and then called my parents back in Ireland with my fake voice, and my dad fell for it. My mom kind of knew something was up, but she wasn’t quite sure what was going on. My dad fell for it and had a full conversation with my AI voice.
We were able to make that just by taking a few minutes of a recording of my voice. So basically, you can take anybody’s voice, you can pick up all the clips online of candidates, and you can essentially get him to say anything.
Why is this so dangerous?
WOLF: I don’t think anybody expects this robocall to change the outcome of an election where Biden isn’t even on the ballot. What is the ultimate threat?
O’SULLIVAN: We’re seeing underlying reporting already about how this type of technology is being used in scams, particularly to target people making it sound like a loved one is calling them and getting them hand to over money. Things like that.
I think if you just look back at political campaigns – 2012 and Mitt Romney’s 47% comment (when he argued that nearly half of Americans were dependent on the government), which was caught on audio. Donald Trump of course, with the “Access Hollywood” tape back in 2016.
All throughout modern American political campaign history, audio and tapes have played fundamentally important roles in campaigns. The concern is that tapes start emerging online that make it sound like Biden or Trump have said something that they didn’t really say, maybe something that’s quite incriminating.
Now, obviously, we have checks and balances in place for that. We consult AI experts and other digital forensic experts that can say, well, this doesn’t sound quite right here. There’s also some technology that’s been developed to try and detect these fakes.
We all know that now in this modern era of mis- and disinformation, even when something is fact checked, millions or tens of millions of people can hear a piece of fake audio before that happens, and it can still place doubts in people’s minds.
Approach things skeptically!
WOLF: So what is your advice to people? How should they approach something they see?
O’SULLIVAN: Especially since 2016, over the past decade, I think a lot of us, particularly people who are more and more clued into politics, we’re getting used to this era of mis- and disinformation and knowing that you can’t trust everything you read on the internet.
But now you can’t trust everything you physically hear or watch on the internet or elsewhere either.
That is easier said than done. It is just a general, absolute – being diligent, getting your information from reliable sources, etc. Here’s the thing: I do think that this type of technology allows for a profoundly different form of disinformation.
Because it’s one thing to read something, but if you hear a tape or you watch a video, I think that resonates in a very different way.
There is a lot of disinformation particularly on the political right, but anybody can fall for this stuff, and particularly if it’s playing into an existing narrative.
We all have people in our families who are one way politically inclined, and we like to think it’s the other side who is getting misinformed, but I don’t think that’s the case. And especially with this kind of technology.
Has anyone used a deepfake of themselves to cloud the facts?
WOLF: Have we seen the other side of things where someone created a deepfake to essentially lie about themselves in their own interest?
O’SULLIVAN: I haven’t really seen an example of that.
What I will say is the most mind-bending, dystopian element of all of this is that we all need to be aware that this technology is out there – so we’re living in this kind of new reality, or unreality, as people become more aware that this technology exists, that gives politicians and others the ability to deny something that might really have happened.
For instance, you can imagine that if the “Access Hollywood” tape arrived in 2024, Trump could say that’s a deepfake.
In addition to creating the possibility of fake scenarios, it also allows people the space to deny real scenarios.
There is a tape that is now being investigated by some federal authorities of (pro-Trump political operative) Roger Stone allegedly speaking about assassinating members of Congress.
He denies that he ever said that. So you can already see this kind of defense being utilized.
WOLF: The next-generation version of “my Twitter account was hacked” when it wasn’t.
We can expect deepfakes in unexpected places
WOLF: The frightening thing to me is that we only know what we know. We know this particular robocall exists, but we don’t really know what else is out there. We can’t say for sure where it came from or who is behind it.
You described a lag time of being able to verify something when people are exposed to it. And that’s an important thing. We assume it was to push down turnout for a write-in campaign for Biden, but we don’t know that to be true. It’s a mystery. And the more of these things that are out there, we won’t have any idea.
O’SULLIVAN: I think because this stuff is so easy to make, especially when it comes to audio, this is not just going to happen on a presidential level. This can happen all the way to dogcatcher.
If something happens involving Biden and Trump, there are going to be lots of eyeballs and people calling it out.
But I think it’s going to be at every level – state, county, township, city – and that’s going to be harder to catch.
If you want a visual example to point to, there was a lot of disinformation on the elections in Taiwan a few weeks back. There is a video of a US congressman that turned out to be a deepfake where he’s saying he’s soliciting votes for Taiwan’s presidential candidate.
WOLF: This has been a very depressing conversation. Is there an optimistic note you can leave us on?
O’SULLIVAN: You can take some bit of comfort from the fact that my mom was able to figure out that something was up with the deepfake.
I think people are also becoming more aware. Don’t trust everything you read on the internet. And I’d like to think as a society we’re getting a bit better at being a bit more skeptical.
The fact that we’re having these conversations now in January is better than all of us learning about this technology in September or October of this year.

"Leaving Iowa" in Manistee: Manistee Civic Players production opens this Friday
MANISTEE — The mark of a good play — or any event for that matter — is its ability to evoke emotion.
Director JoAnn Muma believes the Manistee Civic Players' upcoming production of "Leaving Iowa" will do just that, across the board.
"It really runs the gamut from high comedy to very thought provoking tenderness," said the Civic Players' executive director. "I find that so intriguing with the play, and it's been so much fun to work with.
"It's a comedy, but it has very touching moments in it."
The play, written by Chicago comedians Tim Clue and Spike Manton, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Oct. 28 and 29 and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 23 and 30 at the Ramsdell Theatre, located at 101 Maple St. in Manistee.
"Leaving Iowa" is a comedic but heartfelt tribute to family vacations.
It is the story of Don Browning — played by Brayden Cole — a middle-aged writer, who returns home and decides to finally take his father’s ashes to his childhood home, as requested. When he discovers grandma’s house is now a grocery store, however, he begins traveling across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father.
"I portray a man who takes for granted what his childhood was," said Cole, "and when he comes to terms with it as an adult, he finally matures from it."
This father-and-son road trip shifts from the present to Browning's memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Don’s journey leads him to reconcile his past and present.
"For everybody, once a very close member of your family dies — usually a mother or father — we always kind of seem to relive our time with them through our memories," Muma said. "For this character in particular, the memory of his father elicited family vacations."
Muma praised the talented and hardworking local cast and crew for the upcoming production.
"We have a very talented cast, from seasoned actors to newbies," she said of the talent spread across 21 roles. "I couldn't ask for a better cast, and on top of that we've got an awesome crew. "
Muma said the crew has been busy creating much of the show's scenery, rather than renting, and attendees can expect a wide range of sound for the show, including a spattering of music and dancing. She expects families who experience the production to leave with recollections of their own.
"It's a really well written play that is good for families, kids included," Muma said. "It's really heartwarming. It should bring the family together as their leaving the theater, remembering the vacations they've spent together.
"It's so relatable. Family vacations mean a lot to people."
Order tickets in advance by calling MyNorth Tickets from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (800) 836-0717, online at www.manisteecivicplayers.org or at the Ramsdell box office beginning at noon today.

Celebrating Women’s History Month in Central Harlem
With Eric K. Washington
Please note — In response to concerns about coronavirus, the Municipal Art Society has made the difficult decision to cancel this tour.
The years straddling the storied 1920s Harlem Renaissance revealed women engaged in astonishingly diverse vocations, ambitions and flights of novel pluck. Join Columbia Community Scholar Eric K. Washington on a Central Harlem tour that highlights a number of these women—from flappers to pharmacists—many of whom populate the pages of his new book, “Boss of the Grips,” about a once influential Harlem-based labor and cultural figure. Waypoints include such sites associated with figures who made remarkable strides in such varied fields as theater and music, civic activism, beauty culture, fashion design, business enterprise, arts and letters, politics and philanthropy.

In just a few years, social media has become vital to our personal and professional lives. From wedding hashtags to Instagram advertising campaigns, the impact of social media is felt in all aspects of society, and so it’s no surprise that it has changed how companies approach public relations. As this new media gives organizations new platforms for storytelling, PR pros are adapting to this dynamic communications tool that gives everyone a voice.
At RLF, we manage social media for several of our clients. While tweeting and pinning may seem like second nature to the millennial generation and younger, successful social media management requires strategy and measurement.
Although we have several professionals with experience in social media management, it’s always helpful to exchange best practices and lessons learned with other industry professionals. Earlier this week Jenifer Daniels, APR, shared some of her experiences as social media manager for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library at the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Tar Heel Chapter monthly meeting. Daniels is the creative resources specialist for the library, and has nearly 15 years experience in nonprofit and education communications.
After the library’s budget was cut by 50 percent a few years ago, Daniels used social media to actively listen to the concerns of patrons and share the library’s story. Here are some key points from the discussion:
Follow the Pareto Principle, which states that 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of the causes.
The 80/20 rule pushes us to focus on the 20 percent of tasks that really matter and are key to success. You can see dramatic improvements in social media engagement by focusing your efforts strategically, rather than trying to do anything and everything on social media.
As social media managers, 80 percent of our time should be spent as active listeners.
Find out what customers are saying about you and listen to what they want from your organization. The remaining 20 percent of your time can be used to share information with your followers.
Don’t chase followers.
You want hearts, not eyeballs. Organizations should seek followers who will actually engage in discussion, regularly visit an organization’s social media pages and share content.
Don’t lose customers to negativity.
Try to solve their problems as soon as possible, and take their recommendations into consideration.
No dumping on the Internet.
Don’t overindulge on social media just because you have the capacity and resources. Before you post, ask yourself these questions: What do my followers want to hear? Am I posting something of value, or am I just posting junk?
80 percent of posts should be helpful, interesting, funny or irreverent.
20 percent of posts should be original or self-promotional. Share messages that will resonate with your followers, but feel free to weave key messaging and positioning into these posts.
In a world that has been saturated by online content and social media overload, Daniels’ advice is short and sweet: Simplify your social media strategy through focusing your efforts, listening to followers and posting interesting content.
Daniels ended the conversation with one last social media tip: If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t matter.
