The rise of femvertising: taking body positivity back from the brands
06 Jul 2018
Throughout the 20th century, adverts for products aimed at women have been notoriously awful. Sexist, racist, ageist and ableist, the brands that sold to our grandmothers and mothers assumed they were simple, fearful, and that their main aims in life were to keep a tidy house, keep a husband happy and be slim. Even towards the close of the century, it seemed like an advert’s main aim was to belittle women into product consumption. Fast forward to 2018 and it would appear that the tables have finally turned, and body positivity is now being used to shift units. But this is a version of body positivity designed for a product–one that still capitalises on women and our insecurities.
The body positivity movement as it’s known today came to the public eye in the late 1960s with Lew Louderback’s essay “More People Should Be Fat”, which focused on fat acceptance. As the movement grew in popularity over the next five decades, it also opened up to include other marginalised groups who were unfairly judged because of their bodies, such as people of colour, the LGBTQI+ community and those who are differently abled. This is now an inclusive movement that helps to champion the rights of the marginalised. It supports millions of people worldwide and is real activism where people are pushing for their human rights, whether it be related to the size of their body, the colour of their skin, how they identify their gender and sexuality, or the way that their bodies work.
Well known figures like Janelle Monae, Lena Waithe, Margaret Cho and Francesca Martinez are continuously challenging traditional ideas of what women are and speaking out about the issues that they face, defining themselves for themselves. But this movement, with its long, rich and complex history, has been co-opted by advertising agencies and spun to suit their needs.
“But this movement, with its long, rich and complex history, has been co-opted by advertising agencies and spun to suit their needs”
Adverts started having feminist and body positive undertones throughout the 90s, but it all kicked off in a big way with Dove’s 2004 Campaign for Real Beauty, which featured “real women”, as opposed to professional models, smiling in their underwear. The advert and accompanying exhibition, both orchestrated by Dove and advertising giants Ogilvy & Mather, started a new dialogue that focused on how women regard their bodies. The advert was a huge success and inspired many brands to follow suit, focusing on body positivity, feminism and inclusivity to sell their products. But in doing so, many brands reduced these concepts down to their most simplistic aspects. These were movements founded to help the oppressed, many of whom were now not represented at all.
“Femvertising”, as the method is often known, has been a success. Female empowerment is such a hot commodity that it’s now being used to sell the majority of products aimed at women. There’s no doubt that this method of advertising is far better than the one that preceded it. But while campaigns like Pantene’s #ShineStrong and Gillette’s #UseYourAnd seem to have positive connotations, it’s worth remembering that they are still brands making a conscious and often cynical attempt to sell you shampoo and razors, all while presenting themselves as feminist and body positive.
“For years brands shamed, belittled and bullied women into buying their products under the guise that women weren’t enough without them”
For years, brands have shamed, belittled and bullied women into buying their products under the guise that we weren’t enough without them–now they’re presenting themselves as champions of female empowerment. And while representation in the media is undeniably important, the type of people who are being represented are usually able-bodied, young white women of a statistically average size. Tokenism is widespread, and you very rarely see dark skinned women of colour in any of these adverts.
These brands and advertising agencies have one job: create content that will appeal to women, so that we feel the need to spend our money on their products. It’s no myth that money is always top of the agenda. It’s imperative not to place too much importance on these brands and their adverts, even when they seem to be doing the right thing. Femvertising is a trend. If we believe these brands are part of an existing movement, whether it be feminist or body positive, then where does that leave us when the next trend comes along? These brands have no obligation to care about women, marginalised or otherwise. They are obliged to make as much money as possible.
“These brands have no obligation to care about women, marginalised or otherwise. They are obliged to make as much money as possible”
It’s time to reclaim body positivity and what it means to us. We are taught from a very early age that we are for others. That our skills, our services and especially our bodies – and let’s be clear, most of these products being advertised are for our bodies – exist for the benefit of other people. But our bodies are for ourselves first. They are our home. The only things that truly belong to us; safe spaces that should be ours entirely. They’re how we navigate and experience this world and how we view them is of extreme importance to our physical, mental and emotional health. Our sense of self-worth shouldn’t come from owning a specific brand of underwear or moisturiser. It should come from taking ownership of our bodies and appreciating them for what they are.
Loving and respecting our bodies is not always something that comes naturally when we are a part of a society which capitalises and restricts them. It takes a lot of work to shed the notion that a specific version of physical perfection equates to a higher level of worth. A lifetime of being told to feel one way about your body, and then being told that you are at fault for your feelings by corporations that ingrained those feelings in you, can be frustrating. As with any movement or reclamation, it starts with the education, the uplifting and the support of each other, which is work we are all more than capable of doing.

Great to listen to, Pellegrino (an Italian/Brit living in Norway) explores how culture is shaped by preconceived perceptions and people see what they want to see. He argues that successfully working across cultures means that you have to accept that your assumptions are not necessarily the assumptions of others. Each culture has different ideas of what is accepted and familiar – and Pellegrino brings this to life with entertaining anecdotes, some great photos and his ability to mimic accents. He finishes with an appeal for transcultural behaviour.

Why is small talk so big in America?
Riding the waves of culture
As humorous as always, Fons Trompenaars explores how cultural misunderstanding can cause crisis. He start off with reminding us of the time when Americans were in America and the Chinese were in China and management theories worked – but now we have multicultural teams – so what does today’s manager do?
Fons argues that the challenge today is to reconcile cultures and create a paradigm that works across cultures. He then uses the “pedestrian dilemma” and the “peach and the coconut” analogy to remind us that regardless of where you’re from every culture faces the same dilemmas. The question is how can today’s organizations “crack the line” and build a transcultural organization?
Everything you always wanted to know about culture
Starting with a quick look at what is culture (“culture is like water to fish”) this video then looks at the specific cultural dimension of individualism and collectivism (aka communitarianism). Entertainingly, it then looks at how culture manifests itself in communication – with a smile-inducing focus on how individualism and collectivism manifests itself in insults and humour.
This is the first TED video I’ve seen where the speaker asks the audience to please shout out insults and then says thanks after hearing “moron”, and shows how insults changes across cultures based upon the importance of the individual versus the importance of the group. It then turns to humour and it does and does not cross cultures. The video clip at 14:55 where the Australian newscaster is telling a joke about the Dalai Lama to the Dalai Lama is cringe worthy.

This happened over the course of a bunch of months. It's all the metalwork to the floor pans and trunk area.
First, we removed all the sound deadening from the floors and then the cutting began. The car got three floor pans replaced with new metal, one patch we had to fabricate for the rear seat shelf, then patches on the front inner wings, and finally a few outer rocker panel patches — the inners were solid, rust treated, painted and then sealed up.
The undercoating was stripped from the underside then sandblasted - and treated with POR15 (cleaner, zinc phosphate metal-prep, then POR15), the same for the inner panels of the floor. Then hit it all with seam sealer.
Then we moved on to the trunk - the spare tire well was shot. We cut it out and decided to mount the spare UNDER the car like a truck (hell yes). fabricated it up, welded it in, then moved on to the gas tank surround.
It had been poorly patched in the past, and we discovered all kinds of rot underneath it. So like everything, cut it out, sandblast it, make a new piece, weld it in, POR15, seam sealer.

Happy September! I figure I should post my blog status and tell you all what’s up.
As you know there hasn’t been anymore updates of Make or Break for 2 weeks. Well that story will not be continuing for a few number of reasons. Ally’s story was a short, it only meant to be 10 chapters long but I pulled the plug early.
#1, My heart wasn’t into it. I never felt it was my best work.
#2, Alyssa is boring to write about. As a teen she was interesting but as an adult she seemed a bit dry. I struggle to develop her character. Alyssa works better as a background character.
#3, I am out of time. What do I mean by that? I need to get the ball rolling for the official story for Gen 3 with Raiden Montigo. As I mention I planned to start the story in October and I’m cutting it close. There’s still a ton to do before I can start but I am about 80% ready as of now.
So speaking of Gen 3, I am excited to start that story. I have so many ideals in my head that I want to put out there. Although I won’t be finishing Ally’s tale, I won’t leaving you all hanging cause I know there are some readers who enjoyed it. I do plan to write up a flash summary of how the rest of the story would had went leading up to the start of Gen 3’s story. Be on a look out for that. I dunno when I’ll write it but it will be soon.
For now my blog will just have updates of my game play 100 baby challenge. I hope that will be enough until next month.

Wedding preparation may be stressful, but Alexa Bliss has a partner in crime in the form of his fiancé Ryan Cabrera. The WWE star stated that Cabrera would be in charge of the couple’s forthcoming wedding in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “Everyone who knows us and Ryan understands it’s Ryan’s wedding,” Bliss explained. “I’m not a big fan of weddings. I’ve never been there before.”
Alexa Bliss Engaged SmackDown’s Mike “The Miz.”
“When we were engaged, he told me you just had to show up, and I didn’t believe him at first, but now I do because even my mother and best friend are like, ‘We don’t know what’s going on with the wedding,’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know either.’ Still, I know a majority of it is planned.” After more than two years of dating, the pair became engaged in June 2020. They initially ignited relationship speculations in 2018 when they were seen having lunch together in Los Angeles.
Mike “The Miz” and Alexa Bliss have found love, and it’s a WWE match made in heaven. If Bliss and Cabrera hadn’t met through a familiar acquaintance, they might not have ended up together. The Miz, Bliss’ employee, happened to be that old acquaintance. According to Comic Book, the Miz’s matchmaking began when he asked Cabrera if he wanted to go on a date with Bliss.
Cabrera and Bliss exchanged communications after Cabrera made contact with them. They finally run into each other during one of Cabrera’s shows. Despite her worries about dating a musician, Cabrera won Bliss over. “He was patient and persistent, and we grew to be fantastic friends.” “It grew into a fantastic relationship,” Bliss raved about her fiancé. Cabrera proposed to Bliss after a year of dating in November 2020.
A Complete Timeline Of Alexa Bliss’ Relationship With Buddy Murphy
Fans are perplexed by Alexa Bliss’ new relationship with Ryan Cabrera, although she hasn’t been alone in a long time. Before meeting Cabrera, Bliss had been engaged to another guy, retired WWE wrestler Buddy Murphy. In 2015, Bliss and Murphy met while working in WWE’s developmental division NXT. When she worked as a valet for Murphy and his tag partner Wesley Blake, the two started dating, and we’re partnered together on television.
Bliss and Murphy got engaged in 2017, but their relationship was strained because they signed them to different labels. When Bliss was asked about Murphy on the reality show Total Divas, she seemed to sidestep the topic of marriage. In 2018, Bliss and Murphy broke up after announcing their engagement. With two remaining pals, the break-up was amicable. Bliss expressed her support for Murphy after WWE released him earlier this year.
What would I do if I were the one to plan the couple’s wedding? I believe the most important thing is to prepare the couple for it and make them feel comfortable about it. Let them know that there’s nothing much for them to worry about during their wedding day. Let them know that you will handle everything else. You should be a one-stop shop for the couple so that they can focus on their day without having to worry about anything else.

MPs debated whether an environmental emergency should be declared. This follows the findings of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change that global emissions need to fall by around 45% by the year 2030 (from 2010 levels) to avoid a more than 1.5% rise in global warming.
Note: This video is an archived copy of the YouTube live stream. The debate begins at 9:31
Because today is an Opposition Day in the House of Commons, the subject for debate has been chosen by the Labour Party.
Motion to be debated today
‘That this House declares an environment and climate emergency following the finding of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change that to avoid a more than 1.5°C rise in global warming, global emissions would need to fall by around 45 per cent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero by around 2050; recognises the devastating impact that volatile and extreme weather will have on UK food production, water availability, public health and through flooding and wildfire damage; notes that the UK is currently missing almost all of its biodiversity targets, with an alarming trend in species decline, and that cuts of 50 per cent to the funding of Natural England are counterproductive to tackling those problems; calls on the Government to increase the ambition of the UK’s climate change targets under the Climate Change Act 2008 to achieve net zero emissions before 2050, to increase support for and set ambitious, short-term targets for the roll-out of renewable and low carbon energy and transport, and to move swiftly to capture economic opportunities and green jobs in the low carbon economy while managing risks for workers and communities currently reliant on carbon intensive sectors; and further calls on the Government to lay before the House within the next six months urgent proposals to restore the UK’s natural environment and to deliver a circular, zero waste economy.’
What is an Opposition day?
Usually the Government decides what is debated in the Chamber but twenty days in each session are set aside for debates on subjects chosen by the Opposition. The Leader of the Opposition (currently Jeremy Corbyn, Labour) gets 17 days. The other three days are allocated to the third largest party in the House (currently The Scottish National Party).
Parliamentary sessions usually last for a year but if a session lasts longer than a year, the whips may agree on a further number of Opposition days. And the Government may provide further ‘unallotted’ Opposition days, even in a normal year-long session. Some of these might be used for the smaller political parties to choose the subject for debate.
The Opposition sometimes table a motion in the form of a humble address on Opposition days. A humble address is a message to the Queen. It’s used, among other things to call for papers from departments headed by a Secretary of State.

We visit this area a lot but this was our 1st time to the Hilton Garden Inn, with weekday rate and a military discount we feel we got a good rate for a very large room in the Dells. We had a King Whirlpool suite, the whirlpool with the overhead shower was awesome, room was very clean but it was so large that the furniture just looked tiny and rooms looked bare. Somewhat disappointed in the King bed, like other said, it was very hard in an odd way, it was just very low to the ground it seemed and the linens were not plush like I would expect at a Hilton. Only 3 bath towels in a whirlpool suite I thought was rather skimpy as well. We did visit the lobby bar, strange elevator music and the few customers were all playing on their electronics, the bartender was okay but seemed distracted by what maybe was a friend at the bar, so overall it wasnt a social experience and when we paid the bill we were shocked to find the tiny cocktails outrageously priced. Overall I would stay again for a fair price and have cocktails elsewhere.

Six Barcelona directors have resigned after sending a strongly-worded letter to president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Vice presidents Enrique Tombas and Emili Rousand have both left along with directors Maria Teixidor, Silvio Elias, Jordi Clasamiglia and Josep Pont.
They questioned the club’s direction, while condemning ‘Barcagate’ – which saw Bartomeu deny claims he had hired a social media company to criticise key figures at Barcelona in an attempt to protect his reputation.
The letter said: “We hereby want to communicate that the undersigned managers have transferred to President Bartomeu our decision to irrevocably resign from our position as managers of FC Barcelona.
“We have reached this point by not being able to reverse the criteria and forms of management of the club in the face of the important challenges of the future and, especially, from the new post-pandemic scenario.
“We must also highlight our disenchantment with the unfortunate episode on social networks, known as ‘Barcagate’, which we learned about through the press.
“We ask here that once the results of the audit entrusted to PWC are presented, that responsibilities be cleared as well as the eventual corresponding compensation.
“As a last service to our club, we recommend that as soon as circumstances allow it to convene new elections that allow, with all the ‘authority’, to manage the club in the best possible way in the face of the important challenges of the immediate future.
“Last but not least, we want to have a very special recognition and thanks to our colleagues on the Board of Directors who have dedicated and dedicate their best energy and efforts for the good of our beloved Barcelona Football Club.
“Also to thank the executives and employees of the club for their support and excellent work during this time in which we have had the honour of serving our beloved Barca.”
Bartomeu was appointed Barcelona president in 2015, but has faced criticism from club captain Lionel Messi this season.
Last month, the 32-year-old blasted the club’s board when Barcelona’s players took a 70 per cent pay cut due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Messi accused Nou Cap chiefs of ‘trying to put us under pressure to do something we always knew we would do’.

Candidates talk about goals if elected to lead Kitikmeot Inuit Association
Northern News Services
Published Monday, March 14, 2011
Kitikmeot Inuit aged 16 or over, enrolled or eligible to enroll under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement can cast their ballots on March 28 (or March 21 for advance polls) to choose who will lead the association.
The position of president is a term position until March 31, 2014.
Nunavut News/North asked each candidate why they are running, what they are hoping to achieve and what they think would be their biggest challenge.
Joe Otokiak is a former KIA board member, former hamlet councillor and acting mayor as well as former commissioner of the Nunavut Planning Commission.
He said he is running because changes are needed at the association.
"People need to know what's happening at KIA. Beneficiaries are being left behind," he said. "I think the organization is looking too much (towards) non-renewable resources development at the moment.
"I mean you can only do so much with that but people's lives are more important."
He added social issues, such as suicide, must first be dealt with.
"Once you get that to some kind of healthy state, then economic opportunities will look after themselves more down the road," said Otokiak.
The 56-year-old Cambridge Bay resident said he hopes to bridge the gap between elders and youth.
"Young people need to learn those skills of survival from our elders before they pass on," she said.
Making sure communities are ready to handle development opportunities when they occur will be his biggest challenge, he said, as they happen fast, especially with mining.
Otokiak is married and has five children and many grandchildren.
For the last 10 years, he has worked as a freelance Inuinnaqtun interpreter/translator for various organizations throughout the territory, including the Nunavut Impact Review Board, the legislative assembly, NTI and KIA.
Incumbent Charlie Evalik wants to continue his work as president of KIA, he said, working with other organizations and regions to transfer some programs to the regions, closer to the communities.
He added he wants to continue working on the economic development initiatives they are undertaking with companies such as Newmont Mining Corporation's Hope Bay project and Shear Diamonds's work.
"I need to continue to work in that process," he said.
The 59-year-old from Cambridge Bay was first elected president of the association from 1996 to 2005 before being re-elected in 2008.
Evalik said he hopes to achieve continuity for the Inuit.
"We hope to achieve major agreements with the mining companies, where we participate in terms of development of their mining initiatives, ensuring business opportunities as well as employment training opportunities are available from those developments for the Inuit in the Kitikmeot," he said.
Evalik is also the chairman of the Nunavut Resources Corporation and has negotiated a number of Inuit Impact Benefit Agreements. Closer to Cambridge Bay, he was the community's first settlement secretary.
Continuing working with the mining activities that are happening will be challenging, said Evalik.
"Ensuring Inuit are ready ... for the employment and training opportunities that might derive from those developments," he said. "We've got to get the Inuit ready for those challenges so they can take on employment training business opportunities within those developments."
Evalik is married and has three children.
Vivienne Aknavigak, a former economic development officer in Taloyoak, said she is running "for the betterment of Kitikmeot East."
More social programs, such as after school or drop-in centres for youth, are what she hopes to achieve.
"My biggest challenge would be the mining sector. To put in more programs for the employees, and social issues," she said.
Nunavut News/North was unable to obtain a photo of Aknavigak before press time.

The U.S. federal government’s top telecommunications regulator is proposing a “new regulatory paradigm” by calling on communications providers to step up and assume new responsibilities to manage cyber risks.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler outlined in a June 12 speech his vision for relying on industry and the market as an alternative to implementing new regulations. He described a voluntary initiative to help secure information networks operated by telecommunications companies and Internet service providers.
Wheeler said the new paradigm must be based on private-sector innovation and the alignment of private interests, such as return on investment, with public interests, such as public safety and national security.
“It needs to be more dynamic than rules, and – this is a key point – it needs to be more demonstrably effective than blindly trusting the market,” he said. “… The bottom line is that this new paradigm can’t be ‘happy talk’ about good ideas – it has to work in the real world. We need market accountability on cybersecurity that doesn’t exist today, so that appropriately predictive and proactive investment is made to improve cyber readiness.”
The largest U.S. broadband provider, Comcast, says it and other Internet service providers are up to the task to work with the FCC. “We have and will continue to be committed to taking a leadership role in establishing practices that meet the dynamic and ever-changing nature of these threats,” Myrna Soto, Comcast Cable senior vice president and chief information and infrastructure security officer, says in a statement.
Wheeler, though, hinted that the FCC could adopt cybersecurity regulations if industry fails to adopt effective IT security best practices. “While I am confident that it will work, we must be ready with alternatives if it doesn’t,” he said.

ABU DHABI: As the conflict between Qatar and some of its Gulf neighbours intensifying, UAE national carrier Etihad has declared that Qatar’s nationals as well as its expat residents will not be allowed to travel to or transit through UAE airports.
This announcement follows instructions by relevant authorities in the UAE, said a report in Reuters citing a statement released by the Abu Dhabi-based carrier.
“This ruling applies to all airlines flying into the UAE, including Etihad Airways,” the airline said.
The move follows UAE severing all diplomatic relations with Qatar, in a coordinated decision with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt. The countries also said all air, sea, and land links with Qatar will be closed.
According to the ruling, nationals and expats from Qatar will not granted visa-on-arrival in the UAE.
Several other countries, including Libya, Yemen and the Maldives, have backed the GCC states’ decision and snapped ties with Qatar.
The rift has affected global oil prices, hit travel plans and sown confusion among businesses, the report said.

The latest film in the Twilight franchise is the best so far, but still has meandering subplots, miscalculated segues and inexcusable flashbacks. Fickle Bella (Kristen Stewart) is caught between vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and wolfboy Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

Rave-A-Roo took place on Friday February 19 at London’s icon super club, Ministry of Sound, to a sold out crowd of mini-ravers and Carousel were first in line.
An entirely new concept, Rave-A-Roo boasts an indoor festival vibe with a focus on families partying together and getting their rave on!
The line-up included top DJs, the Disco Ball Games, a Big Fish Little Fish takeover, live stage performances from a new look Go!Go!Go!, PlayGlow toys, confetti mayhem, neon craft, Glow Chill Room and a UV tattoo station.
Rave-A-Roo’s philosophy is to allow kids can be themselves – dance, let loose, create, watch or just chill. For time out from the dance floor and for the little ones who can’t party that hard there was a soft play and chill out zone.
The event was a huge success! All who attended had loads of fun as they raved the afternoon away.
Rave-A-Roo will be returning to the Ministry of Sound throughout 2016 as well as taking place in Liverpool, Brighton, Manchester, and Cardiff. Dates to be announced soon.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 28 – In a bid to ensure Kenya enters as many teams as possible in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the government in collaboration with respective federations and the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) will facilitate funds for teams that will compete in the qualifiers.
This was announced on Tuesday by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Sports, Ambassador Amina Mohamed while opening the sports marketing workshop organized by the NOCK) in Nairobi where all the federations attended.
The CS’ sentiment comes after a number of national teams have struggled to raise funds for qualifiers with the national women’s rugby team, the Kenya Lionesses and their counterparts from the volleyball team, Malkia Strikers being victims.
“We had requested that federations present their funding proposals before the end of the year and most them have done that, we will be looking at those proposals and they should not expect what they asked for, we are going to rationalize and make sure everybody is given what is needed and not what they asked for,” the CS stated.
Her sentiments were echoed by the NOCK treasurer Anthony Kariuki, who said they presented the budget to the Ministry of Sports and agreed the government should assist federations in terms of funding to ensure they do not miss the qualifiers.
“We have planned adequately and presented our budgets one of the largest item in the budget is the qualification procedures and we have agreed that clearly the government will assist in qualification, what the CS said is that we are going to relook at the budgets that were presented, rationalize them so that we can reason together with the federations and that is a key thing and once we tell them federations can work backwards,” Kariuki underscored.
Kariuki also underlined that teams that have already qualified, like the Malkia Strikers, Kenya Lionesses, Kenya Sevens and a huge chunk of runners should also be facilitated for ample preparations.
“We believe qualification is a key process, the teams that have already qualified have a serious budget in preparations so we want to concentrate on them to prepare adequately so that they can be ready for the games,” the NOCK treasurer underscored.
Acting Secretary General Francis Mutuku noted that NOCK will start building capacity within the sports federation and by extension within the sports building fraternity in Kenya.

If your thermostat isn’t giving a sign to your AC to work, it won’t turn on.
The most important point is ensuring it’s on “cool” and not “heat.” Otherwise your air conditioning might not switch on. Or you might have. hot air coming from vents since the furnace is running instead.
If you have a traditional thermostat:
- Replace the batteries if the readout is empty. If the readout is displaying jumbled characters, get a new thermostat.
- Ensure the correct mode is displaying. If you can’t change it, override it by dropping the temperature and pushing the “hold” button. This will make your AC start if scheduling is not right.
- Test setting the thermostat 5 degrees cooler than the space’s temperature. Your AC won’t work if the thermostat matches the room’s temperature.
Once your thermostat is set accurately, you should receive refreshing air quickly.
If you have a smart thermostat, such as one manufactured by Nest, Ecobee, Lux, Honeywell or Bosch, check the manufacturer’s website for help. If you’re still having problems, reach us at 314-325-7552 for assistance.

In patients with advanced melanoma, pembrolizumab achieves efficacy regardless of BRAF V600E/K mutation status or prior treatment with BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors, according to the results of a new pooled analysis published in JAMA Oncology.
Approximately 40% of metastatic melanomas harbor a BRAF mutation, 90% of which are an activating BRAF V600E/K mutation. While targeted agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors, including pembrolizumab, have considerably improved outcomes for patients with advanced melanoma, limited data existed regarding the association of BRAF V600E/K mutation status and prior BRAF inhibitor treatment with response to pembrolizumab, until now.
A team of researchers led by first author Igor Puzanov, MD, Professor of Medicine at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, investigated the efficacy of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced melanoma with or without BRAF-V600E/K mutations and with or without prior treatment with BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors. The post-hoc subgroup analysis included patients with advanced melanoma and known BRAF tumor status who were enrolled in one of three multinational clinical trials: KEYNOTE-001, KEYNOTE-002, and KEYNOTE-006. Of 1,558 patients included in the analysis, 434 had BRAF V600E/K mutations; the remaining 1,124 had BRAF wild-type mutations. Patients received pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg every three weeks, 10 mg/kg every two weeks, or 10 mg/kg every three weeks. The primary end points of the analysis were objective response rate, four-year progression-free survival, and four-year overall survival.
In the overall population, pembrolizumab produced an objective response rate of 38.3%, a four-year progression-free survival rate of 22.0%, and a four-year overall survival rate of 36.9%. Patients with BRAF V600E/K experienced similar rates of objective response (34.3% vs 39.8%), progression-free survival (19.8% vs 22.9%), and overall survival (35.1% vs 37.5%) compared with patients with BRAF wild-type mutations. Patients with BRAF V600E/K mutations who had been previously treated with BRAF inhibitors with or without MEK inhibitors had baseline characteristics with worse prognosis and experienced lower rates of objective response (28.4% vs 44.2%), progression-free survival (15.2% vs 27.8%), and overall survival (26.9% vs 49.3%) compared with patients who had not undergone prior therapy with these agents. The safety profile of pembrolizumab was similar across all subgroups.
"Results of this post-hoc pooled subgroup analysis support the use of pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma regardless of BRAF V600E/K mutation status or use of BRAF inhibitors with or without MEK inhibitor therapy," conclude Dr. Puzanov and colleagues. "Results of well-designed randomized studies that evaluate potential determinants of outcome will help to determine optimal first-line agents for defined subgroups of patients with advanced melanoma."

EIT graduate Danielle Randell is back down to earth after a high-flying year away working as an intern for Air New Zealand at Los Angeles International Airport.
The opportunity for the exciting overseas experience came when course coordinator Nikki Lloyd proposed Danielle apply for the internship after she had completed her Diploma in Tourism and Travel studies at EIT.
A rigorous round of submissions and interviews followed, and she was then told she was one of eight selected for the prestigious American posting.
“We flew over as a group in a 777-300, which was so new it had only about its third flight. In my job, I learned a lot about different passenger aircraft,” she laughs.
Danielle’s role encompassed “pretty much everything” associated with check-in at one of the world’s busiest airports. Dealing with many different nationalities, she helped passengers with their luggage, directed them to connecting flights and shuttles, boarded them on flights and ensured they found in the right seats.
With her fellow interns, she was housed in a hostel about half an hour’s commute from the airport.
During her time away, Danielle managed to see other parts of the USA. A favourite was Las Vegas, which she visited three times with different friends.
“It’s just like the movies,” she enthuses. “The hotels are amazing and I loved the lights at night. It’s like an adults’ playground, and it really does never sleep.”
She also savoured San Diego and San Francisco – coastal cities where she found she could walk just about everywhere.
At the end of her USA stint, fiancé Ash Fritz travelled from Napier to meet Danielle and the couple holidayed in Hawaii en route back to New Zealand.
“I was so excited to get home,” she says. “I really appreciate what we have here in Hawke’s Bay and don’t take anything for granted.”
What’s also helping her settle back is the house she and Ash have bought in Napier and her new job working for Air New Zealand at the Hawke’s Bay Airport.
“I like being on the other side of the check-in counter and think I’m very fortunate with how everything has fallen into place for me.”
Danielle also appreciates that her diploma studies gave her the grounding she needed in Carena – a travel software programme used by Air New Zealand flight bookings. She also singles out EIT lecturer Nikki Lloyd for praise.
“It’s pretty much due to her that I am where I am today. She’s always been happy to help me and did a lot of paperwork needed for the internship application including printing off information after work hours.”
Given her year away, it might be understandable if Danielle had caught a chronic case of the travel bug, but she says she has only a mild dose of the disease.
She’s happily settled in her new job and life in Hawke’s Bay with Ash because, she says, “I figure we have millions of years to travel and can save all the big destinations for another day.”

- Manage Your Expectations. A full-length Thalys needs about twenty feet to be enjoyed in its entirety as it races across an HO-scale countryside. The busiest lines in Switzerland have trains passing roughly every 5 minutes. If your available space (and budget) don’t allow for getting even close to those numbers then consider dropping the main line as your layout’s focal point and focus instead on a branch line. Watching a train chase its tail gets old quickly, and those Viking cars will never be able to cross the tracks when the crossing gates are down more time than they are up.
- Design for ‘Creative Realism’. The Internet has an unlimited number of European railway images. Books by the dozen help with prototypical modeling. Google Earth provides access to almost every railway line/station in Europe. However trying to replicate a prototype exactly in your chosen scale is usually not a good solution. Instead, use prototypes as guidelines and compromise as needed to increase your layout’s entertainment value. That big-city terminus station will keep you just as busy and entertained with a few less tracks than the prototype.
- Flex track is your friend. Even R5 curves are too tight to be realistic on any main line. When possible, keep all fixed radius track hidden in tunnels. If it’s absolutely necessary to use sectional track in a visible area then try and keep your curves short, with no curve more than 15 degrees. If necessary, cut track (yes, even if it has roadbed) to make your curved sections shorter for a more slender look.
- Embrace the third dimension. When planning your layout consider the added benefits of going above and below the ‘station’ level. Hidden staging yards, visible freight yards, and parade sections of main line are perfect for going one or two levels down. Commercial helix kits are available, or consider a completely independent loop of track above or below your main layout. Multiple levels provide a natural ‘break’ between areas of track and make the layout feel less crowded. Putting stations on two different levels and at opposite ends of the layout provide more of a ‘from-here-to-there’ feel. My current layout design includes two staging yards, one below the other, and both of them below the main station. The bottom level is a mere three feet off the ground!
- When All Else Fails, Change Your Scale. To many of you this will sound sacrilegious. I have been a die-hard 1-scaler (1:32) for nearly twenty years, and although our new house has a decent basement for a 1-scale layout, I’m contemplating switching back to HO, the scale of my childhood. Why? Because of what I’d like to accomplish on my next layout, including the afore-mentioned Thalys run. A few years ago when I had zero space for even a modest HO layout I built a layout in Z-scale, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Don’t rule out the possibility of switching scales, either until available space changes or for good.
Our hobby, like so many others, is an evolution. The more we do, the more mistakes we make, the more we learn. Unfortunately this isn’t like knitting, where we can try over and over again to ‘get it right’. But with every trip to Europe or every episode of ‘Eisenbahnromantik’ I watch on Youtube I get just a little bit smarter on the minutiae of European railroads. Unfortunately that leads to new ideas and new desires when it comes to replicating those into a smaller scale. With these tips hopefully you can join me in making sure that at least at the track planning stage the result is a little more ‘railway’ and a little less ‘train’…


Facebook will soon kick off one of its biggest events of the year: its annual F8 developer conference.
This year promises to be one of the biggest events in recent memory, with Facebook expected to announce new software that will allow developers to create bots for Messenger.
Mark Zuckerberg's keynote will kick off beginning at 10 a.m. PT Tuesday when he is scheduled to take the stage at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco.
In addition to bots, we're expecting Facebook's chief executive to spend some time talking about its artificially intelligent assistant M and the company's other A.I. initiatives. We're also likely to hear a lot about the company's live-streaming product, Facebook Live, as well as 360-degree video for the Oculus Rift VR headset.
As always, there are likely to be at least a few surprises in the works as well. You can follow along with Zuckerberg's keynote right here to make sure you don't miss a moment.
Mashable will also be reporting live from the event in San Francisco so stay tuned for more news and analysis as the announcements unfold.

Question about Flat Panel Televisions
We turn the TV on the blue power light on the front turns on, everything is fine for about 15 seconds then the screen goes black and 2 red lights (the lamp and temperature lights) come on the power button. The sound is fine but there is no picture. My husband opened up the TV and found that the lamp comes on, gets brighter and then just shuts down. I need to know what exactly the problem is as I wouldn't think it to be the lamp alone as it comes on and gets bright. I am just praying it is not the lamp engine because then we are talking $900 to fix.
Check to make sure all the ventilation opening on the tv arent plugged. if not, then you will have to make sure all the fans inside the tv are working properly.
