The title of the episode "#THINMAN" refers to the meme generally known as the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/slender-man "Slenderman,"] often called the internet's first urban legend. The meme was spawned by a "paranormal pictures" photoshop contest on the Something Awful (SA) Forums. The idea may have in turn been inspired by the German legend of the Tall Man. The hashtag in the title is used on twitter to help other users search for terms.

Outline While working a case involving a murdered teenage girl, Sam and Dean once again cross paths with the Ghostfacers.
Monster Thinman
Timeline Six months since 8.23 Sacrifice
Location(s) Springdale, Washington
A teenage girl, Casey Miles, is taking selfies in her bedroom when she notices a mysterious figure in the background. As the lights go out, she hides in her closet and calls 911. While she is talking, a hand holding a knife appears behind her. Blood begins to pour through the closet doors.
Sam is doing research in the library when Dean comes in and tells Sam that he will be back. When Sam questions him about his leaving, Dean says he found a case, but he wasn't going to take Sam because he doesn't know what Sam wants. Sam wants to come along, so the boys head to Washington.
Sam and Dean, as FBI agents, visit Casey's house and speak with her mother. As the Boys ask the usual questions, the mother knows all about "fritzing" and cold spots because she spoke with "Supernaturalists." Sam and Dean are curious about who she spoke with.
The Ghostfacers, Harry and Ed, are sitting in a diner, and Harry is obsessing about his ex-girlfriend's Facebook page when Sam and Dean sit down with them. The boys exchange some witty banter with the Ghostfacers, and Sam and Dean warn them to leave town. In the meantime, the busboy gets in trouble with his manager for not doing his job properly.
The boys return to the motel to research, and Sam checks the Ghostfacers website where they discover the Ghostfacers latest obsession: Thinman. The boys argue about whether they are hunting a ghost or Thinman. Meanwhile, Ed and Harry return to Casey's bedroom to record some footage for their fans. They continue to discuss Harry's ex-girlfriend. A frustrated Ed says they should bail on the case, but Harry insists they need to find Thinman to make all the haters eat their words.
As the boys continue to research at the motel, Dean is still skeptical of the Thinman legend. They wonder how the photo ended up online, so they head to the police station to gather more information. They get assistance from Deputy Tom Norwood who has also been talking to the Ghostfacers about the possibility of a supernatural killer.
The next day, Sam and Dean arrive at the diner to find the Ghostfacers are also there to investigate. Dean confronts Ed and Harry, about Thinman and possibility they created another Tulpa. Deputy Norwood shows them the security footage where a mysterious "Thinman" figure kills the restaurant manager.
Harry wants to search the woods for Thinman, but Ed isn't so sure. He suggests that Sam and Dean should take over because two people are dead. Harry insists on continuing the hunt.
At the motel, Sam and Dean are tossing around ideas and discussing the case. Dean brings up how when, as kids, they pretended to be Superman and Batman. They reminisce and laugh about how they jumped off the shed and Sam broke his arm, and how Dean rushed him to the hospital on the handlebars of his bike. Dean and Sam share a moment before the tension returns and Harry interrupts.
While Harry is in the woods looking for Thinman, Ed tells Sam and Dean his story. Harry was becoming wrapped up with his new girlfriend so Ed made up Thinman to keep Harry in the game. Sam insists that Ed tell Harry the truth because secrets ruin relationships. Meanwhile, Harry is attacked by Thinman who slashes Harry across the stomach. Sam, Dean, and Ed come to his rescue, and then they discover tire tracks which the Boys think may belong to whoever is pretending to be "Thinman."
Ed tells Harry the truth about Thinman, and Harry is really, really mad. Harry says he can't trust Ed, and Ed leaves. Sam arrives and talks to Harry about secrets and whether they are forgivable. Sam believes this is something that Harry needs to decide for himself. Dean comes in and says they have a lead on the tire tracks so Sam and Dean leave. Then, Harry and Ed decide they will work together to fix the mess that Ed has created so they follow Sam and Dean.
At a warehouse, the boys meet Deputy Norwood who then tasers them from behind and ties them up. He then reveals that he and his friend, Roger, the busboy, are behind Thinman. They plan to kill Dean and Sam in order to continue the legend. Roger, disguised as Thinman, steps up to cut Dean's throat while Norwood records the act. A frantic Sam works to pick the lock of his handcuffs so that he can save Dean.
However, before any slicing occurs, a noise distracts Norwood and Roger who go to investigate. Ed and Harry trap "Thinman" but then Norwood captures Ed and Harry. When they return to where Sam and Dean were cuffed, they see that Sam and Dean have escaped. The boys attack Norwood and Roger. Dean captures Roger and coldly kills him. When Norwood pulls a gun on Sam and Harry, Ed shoots him to save Harry.
Harry and Ed discuss their relationship, and Sam and Dean watch as the Ghostfacers break up over a situation that mirrors their own. Harry leaves with the Boys as Ed sadly watches them. In the Impala, Harry laments that he thought Ed would always be there and they would grow old together. It's obvious that Sam and Dean can relate, but they say nothing.

Harry: Ah, the Winchesters. Yay.
Ed: Says nobody...
Harry: Ever!
Harry: Say hola to my little pistola.
Dean: Am I supposed to be impressed with that treasure trail or the lady gun you got hiding in your, uh, pants there?
Harry: Uh... Both? Look, whether you like it or not, we are handling this situation.
Dean: What the hell's a Thinman?
Sam: I don't know. Um... Whoa. Check that out, though. That does kind of look like whatever was behind Casey Miles, right?
Dean: Or Garth if somebody shaved his face off. Big whoop.
Ed: Two people are dead -- really dead. And I just keep thinking that, you know, maybe Sam and Dean should just take over.
Harry: First of all, hell no. And -- and quit raining on my rainbow.
Ed: Rainbows can't happen without rain.
Harry: Don't try to use science with me. This is about a-a feeling. And we can't quit when we're so close to finding Thinman and finally making up for everything we've lost because of...what we do.
Harry: Well, the lore says that Thinman hangs out by trees, and the woods is where trees hang out. Two kills in town -- local woods is the best bet.
Dean: You know what video would have gone viral, if we still had it? When you were five and you got dressed up as Batman and you jumped off the shed because you thought you could fly.
Sam: After you jumped first.
Dean: Hey, I was nine and I was dressed up like Superman, okay. Everybody knows that Batman can't fly.
Sam: Well I didn't know that. I broke my arm.
Dean: I know you did. Then I drove you to the ER on my handlebars.... good times.
Sam: ...yeah they were.
Ed: If I tell Harry, he's gonna leave the Ghostfacers.
Sam: Listen, if you don't tell him, he's gonna leave anyway. Trust me here. Secrets ruin relationships.
Ed: Okay, well, I'll just tell him when the time is right.
Dean: Time's right now, chief.
Ed: Well, he's -- he's not here. Uh, he's -- he's out in the woods, uh, searching for Thinman.
Sam: Okay, because Thinman, or whatever the hell this thing is, has killed two people, and now Harry is in the woods alone.
Ed: Well, actually, it's more like "wood," um, 'cause I dropped him off by some trees behind a grocery store. Guys, come on. He's gonna be fine. Guys?
Harry: I just got punched right in the feels.
Dean: So you're Thinman? That would make sense if it didn't look like you just ate a fat camp.
Ed: It's Scooby-Doo time, douchebag. Take off the mask. I know you're not Thinman. You're just a me-me.
Harry: Ed, it's pronounced meme.
Ed: It's spelled M-E-M-E though.
Harry: The second E is silent.
Ed: You're a me-me. A man meme. And I invented you.

Dean: All right, shut up and listen. This is how it's gonna go. You two clowns are gonna get into that mystery machine outside, and you're gonna leave town or I'm gonna put holes in your knees.
The Mystery Machine was the van which Scooby-Doo and his fellow supernatural investigators - Daphne, Velma, Fred and Shaggy traveled around in.
Harry: Oh my god Menudo! Will you guys relax? We know what we're doing.
Menudo was a successful Latino boy-band from the 1980s.
Dean: Really? And what about the rest of the Bad News Bears, huh? Where's the -- where's the fat one? And -- and the girl? There was a girl, right?
The Bad News Bears was a 1976 movie about a terrible Little League baseball team.
Harry: Okay. I've waited all my life for this. Amazon me, bitches.
A reference to the online retailer Amazon.com, where Sam and Dean can purchase a copy of the book The Skinny on Thinman which Ed and Harry authored.
Harry: Fifty Shades of whey too much protein!
A reference to the erotic romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey.
Dean: Yeah, because everything started on the internet is true. Like, uh, oh, the shark attacking a helicopter - they write the book on that one, too?
A reference to Helicopter Shark, which was a widely circulated photo in 2001 which showed a great white shark leaping out of the water, attacking military personnel climbing into a helicopter.
Dean: Well, you know, people still see Elvis all over the damn place.
A reference to the purported sightings of Elvis all over the U.S. after his death.
Harry: When we find Thinman, are they gonna be on Dr. Phil?
Ed: No.
Harry: We're gonna be on Dr. Phil.
Dr. Phil is a self-help guru, with a syndicated television show.
Sheriff: I figured it wouldn't hurt to go a little "Medium," you know? Uh...two counties over, folks were combing the place for a poor little dead boy back in August. The cops let a psychic do her thing. Shish, bang, boom -- found a body a day later.
Medium was a TV series about a medium who works to solve crime with the District Attorney's office.
Sam: When did viral go from that baby chimp falling out of a tree to killer Candid Camera?
Candid Camera was a long running hidden camera/practical joke reality show, that first aired in 1948.
Dean: This all sounds like Sad Times at Bitchmont High. What does this have to do with the case?
Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a 1982 high school coming-of-age comedy. It is pretty much guaranteed to be one of Dean's favorite movies.
Harry: You crashed the Jenga Tower of our lives. I was gonna get married. I left her to run around with you, living some lie.
Jenga is a game that involves balancing wooden blocks to make a tower, and then removing blocks strategically to add to the top of the tower, without collapsing the structure.
Dean: So there was no teleporting, just a couple of douchebags doing a Scream thing.
In the Scream movie franchise, a masked person kills people in the manner of horror movies, with the usual twist being that there are two killers wearing the mask.

Saanich's 65-year-old race car driver, Bill Okell, has kicked off yet another season of racing down on the southern California race circuit.
Bill Okell, Saanich's 65-year-old race car driver, sped his way to a podium finish during the western conference U.S. Majors Hoosier SCCA Super Tour feature race at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Bakersfield, Calif. on Feb. 23. (Video submitted by Bill Okell)  pic.twitter.com/0q1F9Bgbyb
— Devon Bidal (@devonscarlett) March 4, 2020
Okell nabbed a third-in-class title and a podium finish at his first race of 2020 – the western conference Hoosier Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Super Tour, which took place Feb. 21-23 at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Bakersfield, Calif.
READ ALSO: Saanich's senior race car driver not slowing down
Okell competed in two production races at the Hoosier SCCA Super Tour. On Feb. 22, he sped around the track for a sprint race and on Feb. 23, he took part in the 17-lap feature race. He nabbed third in class during the Saturday race and second place in the feature race. Okell said he was just "inches away" from securing his fifth U.S. Majors win.
While he typically races in a 1964 MGB Roadster that he's been driving in for 44 years, Okell traded in old familiar for a black MG Midget owned by Huffaker Engineering. He began racing with the Huffaker team in 2014 but struck out on his own in 2019. After taking a year off from the team, Okell decided to race with Huffaker once again.

The weekend's success made his triumphant return to the Huffaker team a "memorable experience."
Okell, who turns 66 this year, doesn't have much time to celebrate as he has already set his sights on the next U.S. Majors Western Conference Series race which takes place at the Laguna Seca Raceway Park in Monterey, Calif. in just over a month.
He's hoping for a successful 2020 season and is already looking ahead to the 2021 National Championships in Indianapolis.

Ein Bigbag, auch Big Bag, ( für großer Sack oder große Tasche) ist ein flexibler Schüttgutbehälter, der aussieht und benutzt werden kann wie ein großer Sack oder eine große Tasche (mit Henkeln/Schlaufen). Die international gebräuchliche Kurzbezeichnung lautet FIBC und steht als Abkürzung für Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (englisch für flexibler Zwischenbehälter für Schüttgüter). Weitere Bezeichnungen sind Bulk bag und Jumbo bag.

Entwickelt wurde der Bigbag von der Firma Gustav Grolman GmbH & Co. KG, einem Vertriebsunternehmen für Spezialchemie aus Düsseldorf. Der Name erlangte 1978 in der Form grolman BIG BAG markenrechtlichen Schutz; dieser erlosch 2007.

Ein Bigbag fasst ungefähr 1000 bis 1300 Liter. Das maximale Füllgewicht ist außen angegeben und beträgt meist 1000 kg. Er besteht aus einem stabilen Kunststoffgewebe und kann nach Entleerung und gegebenenfalls Reinigung erneut befüllt werden, ist also wiederverwendbar. Müllentsorger verwenden meist Einweg-Säcke, die bei brennbarem Inhalt in der Müllverbrennung mit verbrannt werden.  Zur offenen Seite hin sind mehrere stabile Schlaufen angenäht, an denen der Behälter zwecks Befüllung, Transport oder Entleerung angehoben werden kann. Es sind aber auch Bigbags mit oberer Schürze zum Verschließen oder mit angenähten Einfüll- oder Auslaufstutzen erhältlich. Das verwendete Gewebe besteht aus Gründen der Dichtigkeit und des Feuchtigkeitsschutzes zumeist aus Polypropylen, wird zum Teil mit einer inneren Beschichtung versehen oder mittels Folieninliner ausgekleidet. Ein großer Bigbag füllt die Fläche einer Europalette aus und ist befüllt bis ca. 1,5 Meter hoch.

Bei manchen Schüttgütern bereitet aufgrund ihrer Eigenschaften die staubfreie und dosierte Entleerung des Bigbags Probleme.  Für diese Fälle wurden spezielle Bigbag-Dosierautomaten entwickelt.

Bigbags werden oft in der Entsorgungstechnik für leichtere Abfallstoffe wie Papier und Stoffreste eingesetzt, aber auch zur Errichtung von Kofferdämmen. Sie finden ebenfalls als preiswertes Transport- und Endlagergebinde für Reststoffe (z. B. Filterstäube) in Untertagedeponien Verwendung. Auch als Produktverpackung von Schüttgütern wie Holzpellets, Mandeln, Kakaobohnen, Kunststoffgranulat oder den Transport von Baustoffen (Sand, Kies, Schotter, Pflastersteine usw.) sowie Saatgut (Mais, Getreide, Kartoffeln) werden zunehmend Bigbags eingesetzt.

Bei Flutkatastrophen werden mit Sand gefüllte Bigbags von Hubschraubern abgeworfen oder abgesetzt, um undichte Stellen an Deichen abzusichern.

Mit Sand und Schotter gefüllte Bigbags können als Splitterschutzverbauung z. B. in Krisengebieten dienen, wo sie als Hescoss bezeichnet werden.

In Rhöndorf, einem Stadtteil von Bad Honnef, wurden im Frühjahr 2014 Bigbags im Weinberg zur Abwehr einer angenommenen Steinschlaggefahr aufgestellt. Nach mehreren Gutachten wurden die Bigbags aus arbeitsschutzrechtlicher Sicht akzeptiert.

Bigbags müssen den Sicherheitsvorgaben des Geräte- und Produktsicherheitsgesetzes (GPSG) entsprechen. Für die Einhaltung ist gegebenenfalls der Importeur verantwortlich. Die Tragfähigkeit von Bigbags (außer Gefahrgut-Bigbags) wird nach dem Standard ISO 21898:2004 geprüft.

Zum Öffnen von Bigbags können beispielsweise Pyramidenmesser oder Kreismesser eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere beim automatisierten Entleeren von staubenden Schüttgütern eignen sich Kreismesser, die einen Materialsteg im Sackmaterial erzeugen. Hierdurch bleibt das Schüttgut vor Verunreinigungen durch den Sack verschont.

As temperatures dip, it might be accompanied by falling motivation when it comes to exercise, according to this report. A study quoted by the same report goes ahead to point out that on average, people see a fall of 11 minutes in their daily physical activity in winters as compared to summers. For most people, this is a significant fall. Looks like winters are making you lazier, but how do we address this? If the report is to be believed, the answers lies in meditation.
This was concluded after an eight week analysis with two different groups of people. While one group was given an exercise regime, the second group was introduced to routine mindfulness meditation.
A group of 49 people, both men and women were recruited for the study, primarily conducted by the Iowa State University, US. The people were healthy, but inactive. They had also never meditated. Next, they were all asked to wear an activity monitor for a week. After this, they were assigned at random to either exercising or meditating or to continue with their lives as before.
The mindfulness group was given a standard programme to meditate.
The participants of the exercise group were asked to exercise for 20-40 minutes everyday, and met once a week for a group workout. The mindfulness group, on the other hand, was given a standard programme to meditate. They were advised to practise mindful walking along with traditional seated meditation.
The routine lasted for eight weeks from September to early November. The participants were made to wear activity monitors for another week after this, but were not told their aim is to track physical activity. With the onset of winters, it was found that the mindfulness group remained more active than the one which had stuck to an exercise regime. Additionally, there was a fall in activity by 18 minutes in the second group.
As for the other two groups (meditation and those with no change in their daily routine), they were not required to meditate any more and could continue with their lives as before. A fall of only six minutes of activity was observed with them, less than what the average fall has been concluded to be so far (11 minutes).
The connection between meditation and activity is not still not clear for the researchers. However, they speculate that meditation made people more aware of their bodies. With their heightened consciousness, they perhaps found it easier to continue moving in the autumn and winter months.

Pro-Russia Rebels Kill 14 Ukraine Troops as Crucial Poll Nears
Ukrainian soldiers ride atop an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) near the site where pro-Russia rebels killed Ukrainian servicemen in the outskirts of the eastern Ukrainian town of Volnovakha, south of Donetsk May 22, 2014.
Ukraine's acting president says 13 service members were killed when pro-Russian separatists attacked a military checkpoint in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region.
President Oleksandr Turchnyov said Thursday the soldiers who died in the overnight attack near the town of Volnovakha "gave their lives for Ukraine."
He said the separatists attacked the checkpoint using mortars, grenade launchers and heavy automatic weapons.
Officials in the Donetsk regional administration said 16 people died in the attack, but they did not specify whether all those killed were government soldiers. They said 32 people were injured.
Another government serviceman was killed overnight in the neighboring Luhansk region.
Reacting to the latest violence and other reported incidents on Ukraine's border with Russia, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk called for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council.
"We will provide proof that it is the Russian side that bears responsibility for attempts to escalate the conflict… and to undermine presidential elections," he said at a military installation outside Kyiv.
Russia accused Kyiv of stepping up military operations in eastern Ukraine and failing to implement measures to end the crisis.
Ukrainian businessman, politician and presidential candidate Petro Poroshenko (L) meets his supporters during his election rally in the city of Kryvyi Rih May 17, 2014.
Confectionery magnate and former foreign minister Petro Poroshenko, 48, remains the clear front-runner in the presidential race, according to opinion polls. Some surveys suggest he could garner the more than 50 percent of votes needed to win the election in the first round.
Kyiv and Western countries hope the poll will help legitimize Ukraine's new government following the ouster in February, after months of protests, of pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovych, and help stabilize the situation in the country.
The U.S. and the European Union say they will impose broader sanctions on Russia if it tries to derail the vote.
Russian troop movements
Also Thursday, NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said there was some Russian troop activity near the Ukrainian border that "may suggest some of these forces are preparing to withdraw."
Western countries have protested Russia's deployment of tens of thousands of troops to the area, expressing concern Russia may be preparing an invasion after annexing Crimea in March.
Russian officials have said multiple times in the past few weeks that the troops would pull back from the border.
Rasmussen said Thursday on Twitter that he hoped the troop movements were the start of a "full and genuine withdrawal," but also cautioned that most of the Russian forces remained near the border.
He called on Russia to meet its international commitments, particularly in view of Sunday's elections in Ukraine.
NATO's military chief, meanwhile, said that that despite the recent movements, Russian forces on Ukraine's border remained "very large" and threatening.
"[It's] too early to know where they are moving to or how many of them are moving, but what we do know is the force that remains on the border is very large and very capable and it remains in a very coercive posture," U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, told a news conference.
Meanwhile, Russia's Defense Ministry said Thursday that 20 trains and 15 planes full of troops have been moved out of the border area with Ukraine.
Russia feeling economic pressure
In another sign of the effects of Western pressure on Russia over Ukraine, many foreign investors are snubbing Moscow by boycotting a high-profile economic summit underway in St. Petersburg.
Billed as Russia's response to the annual forum in Davos, Switzerland, this year's event is being shunned by many major Western companies, with some having sent only lower-level executives or none at all.
In an apparent damage control effort, the Kremlin reportedly sent a confidential email to loyal and state-run news organizations advising them to accentuate the growing participation of Asian investors and the quality of discussions at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Speaking on the sidelines of the forum, a ranking Russian official admitted that "informal" Western pressure is having an effect.
"…the informal character of the pressure, which is being exerted by the United States and countries of the European Union, it is all causing serious consequences for our economy," said First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, according to RIA news agency.
Prince Charles 'Hitler' comment fallout
Meanwhile, Russia blasted Britain's Prince Charles Thursday for reportedly likening President Vladimir Putin to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler over Moscow's actions in Ukraine.
"[For] members the of the British royal family to spread the propaganda campaign against Russia on a pressing issue - that is, the situation in Ukraine - as unacceptable, outrageous and low,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said at a news conference.
He added that Moscow was seeking an official explanation from Britain.
During a visit to Canada, in conversation with a Jewish woman who fled Poland during World War II, Prince Charles said that "Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler," Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported.

Launching P. Diddy's Sean John brand
Client: Henkel Consumer Goods Canada
Project: Purex Natural Elements Laundry Detergent "Little Drops, Big Ripples"
Objective: To generate awareness of Purex Natural Elements laundry detergent, a year after it had been launched and enjoyed extensive media coverage.
Strategy: Following up on the success of the Henkel hockey program, the company hired us in the Fall of 2008 to create a second-year awareness program for its Purex Natural Elements laundry detergent. The first biodegradable laundry detergent from a major company, Purex Natural Elements breaks down within 28 days, putting less stress on the environment. We developed the Little Drops, Big Ripples program. We asked families and teachers and their classes to think about what they are putting down their drains at home, and then invited them to enter a contest sharing tips for things we can do to keep our water systems clean and pure. Teachers were also invited to use free custom-designed educational resources that dovetailed with existing class curriculum and available online. We negotiated a charitable aspect with Free the Children, a Canadian charity that ensures fresh clean water is available in less developed countries. The charity's Clean Water project provides young girls with the opportunity to go to school rather than spend their days searching for water by taking home water from the wells at the schools.
Results: The program generated 485,970,272 impressions through 381 positive stories worth more than $53 million in editorial coverage. The contest received 81,702 entries including 273 sent in by teachers, and the program generated double digit growth for the brand. The program was recognized with two industry awards, an Award of Excellence for Media Relations and an Award of Excellence for Social Responsibility and was named the 2009 Best Consumer Promotion by Dial Corporation, makers of Purex.
Project: Henkel Play Strong, Play Clean, Play Fair Hockey
Objective: To generate awareness of Henkel Consumer Goods Canada as a sponsor of the IIHF World Championship Hockey being held in Canada for the first time.
Strategy: Henkel Consumer Goods Canada hired us in August 2007 to create a public relations program to promote Henkel's sponsorship of the 2008 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championships. We developed a corporate brand-building public relations program that utilized the hockey sponsorship tie-in as an opportunity to introduce the company to Canadians and the world as they focused on the games. Our strategy was to develop a strong awareness of Henkel as a company through the utilization of a national survey that gauged Canadians feelings about recreational hockey, especially where children were involved. We then developed a web site contest that encouraged children to tell us what playing clean and fair hockey meant to them and launched a national consumer media relations program to advise Canadians about the contest and the opportunity win a trip to the championships. In addition, every entry received would generate a donation through the Henkel Smile corporate philanthropy program to KidSport to provide funds to underprivileged kids who can't afford to play hockey.
Results: There were more than 1,054 stories generated by the program on local, regional, national, mainstream and alternative, print, broadcast and the web media outlets, and all mentioned the company by name. The winners were featured in a 4.5 minute piece on CTV's Canada AM. More than 924,474,985 impressions were generated across Canada, and in fact, throughout the world; 62 times the target. More than $172,387,422 in editorial coverage was generated; an ROI of 1,675 times the total budget; and 575 times the goal. There were 33,140 unique visitors to the web site, and 946,634 page views. Parents were excited about the program and sent in comments like: "It's a terrific contest and really reflects so much of the attitudes of so many of the kids and parents I talk to. Colin is in his first year of organized hockey and I think this sort of emphasis is so vitally important for the enjoyment of the kids! HUGE kudos to Henkel for doing this. This what corporate responsibility should be all about! BRAVO!!" Henkel donated more than $25,000 to KidSport to give young Canadians a chance to play their national pastime.
Client: Ronzoni Foods Canada
Project: The Launch of Catelli Smart Pasta
Objective: To officially launch Ronzoni Foods Canada's innovative new Catelli Smart Pasta with inulin.
Strategy: Ronzoni Foods Canada Corporation hired us in May of 2007 help them launch their new Catelli Smart Pasta. Smart Pasta is an industry first, a delicious white pasta with the fibre benefit of whole wheat that uses inulin as one of the key ingredients to achieve this goal, a new use for this fairly new food ingredient. The strategy developed was to create a creative, thought-provoking communications program that would generate awareness, develop support for and create an understanding of the benefits of Catelli Smart pasta. We wanted to layer the program to reach and educate consumers in various ways: about the health benefits of the inulin in the pasta, about how easy it was to integrate eating healthy into their every day lives and how great tasting the new pasta was. We used the results from a national omnibus consumer survey to provide us with statistical information about the obstacles for Canadians to eating healthier every day, developed the theme, "It's back to school time and it's not just the kids getting Smart™…We're getting Smart about our pasta" and created an integrated national consumer awareness media relations campaign.
Results: The program was an overwhelming success both in terms of the way the product was portrayed, the coverage of the product, the goodwill it generated amongst the trade, the favourable impressions it left with media and consumers and the business it has generated. More than 48,764,117 impressions were generated across Canada; more than 3 three times than target. Major, Tier 1, national media have carried stories, resulting in more than 99 positive stories, and all mentioned the brand by name. More than $589,320 in editorial coverage was generated; an ROI of seven times the total budget; and triple the goal. Media loved the new pasta and told their readers so. "Two thumbs up is how we'd rate new Catelli Smart Pasta." "I was pleasantly surprised with this and would use it again." "Inside the press kit were some fabulous recipes." The program won two industry awards including an international Gold Quill Award.
Client: Multiprint Ltd – Deréon
Project: Beyoncé and the Canadian Launch of Deréon
Objective: To officially launch superstar entertainer Beyoncé's family-run fashion business, Deréon, in Canada.
Strategy: On July 18, 2007, Multiprint Ltd, a Montreal-based clothing manufacturer and distributor, received agreement from superstar entertainer Beyoncé to launch her new, junior fashion line, Deréon, in Canada. We identified an opportunity to create an exclusive, "By Invitation Only" event for trade and media. It would allow an inside look at the "sexy, sophisticated, empowered lifestyle" character of the brand which was in keeping with Beyoncé and Tina's design approach. We would bring that taste of the high life to Toronto and show the trade and the media that Deréon was a strong, growing, sexy and exciting brand.
Our strategy was to utilize Beyoncé's Toronto tour date to develop an event that would generate media awareness of the launch and the line. However, as Beyoncé would only be available for one hour, we also wanted to utilize the family aspect of business to extend awareness beyond Beyoncé and generate additional media opportunities. The key: do it all in three weeks, over the long August 1st weekend, and during industry summer shut-downs on a very tight budget. We: rented the entire Ultra Supper Club venue, a chic, happening dinner club with rooftop lounge in downtown Toronto; worked with the chef to create a dynamic, exciting menu with a nod to Tina's Creole heritage; devised a decorating theme; arranged for valet parking and a red entry carpet; lighting; staging with video walls showing Beyoncé's music and fashion videos; sourced decorations including flowers, renting furniture; hired a designer and florist; developed and delivered invitations; made hotel arrangements for the entire entourage team; created a live fashion show at the event; and coordinated all media arrangements in Toronto. We needed to generate buzz right from the delivery of the invitations. Over the long holiday weekend in August, we sourced and printed navy blue embossed invitations, with a special hang tag that told the story of the family heritage that is Deréon. These tags were hand applied to live white Casablance lilies. Each lily was place by hand in a clear plexiglass box, with the invitation just prior to delivery. Each VIP invitation was hand-delivered by two stretch limos and drivers wearing white gloves and carrying the invitations on sliver trays. When each box was opened, the scent of the Casablance lily wafted out. The buzz about the event started immediately.
Results: We created an exciting and exclusive event — one that would be heralded as a major event — that was attended by the who's who of the Canadian fashion industry and media, more than 650 guests. Invitations were in hot demand. 118 media and their guests from Canada's key media RSVP'd. We generated national, positive media coverage that generated brand awareness, mentioned the brand by name and established the credibility of Deréon as a fashion line — in both the news and fashion sections of newspapers, TV and magazines — and included three front page photos. The amount of coverage generated is outstanding given that our opportunity to conduct one-on-one interviews with Beyonce, Tina and Solange was very limited. There were 107 stories which generated 163,358,368 impressions, 11x our goal and 71 of the stories discussed the family connection. In fact, the media coverage was seen internationally, reaching into the U.S. and Latin America including photos on People.com. The editorial value of the program is $9,075,050.16, which represents a return on investment of approximately 42x the budget. The program won four industry awards for special events and media relations.
Client: Multiprint Ltd./Sean John Canada
Project: The Future of Fashion: The Launch of Sean John in Canada
Objective: To officially launch the Sean John fashion line in Canada and create media coverage of the brand.
Strategy: A new licensee had been assigned the Sean John brand in Canada creating a need to reinvigorate the brand and generate excitement about a fashion line that had already been in Canada for approximately two years. We identified an opportunity to create an exclusive, "by invitation only" party for trade, media and celebrity VIPs. It allowed an inside look at the "not just a brand, but a lifestyle" character of the brand which was in keeping with designer's approach. Sean "Puffy/P.Diddy" Combs is a rap star/entertainer/celebrity/fashion designer well known for his high lifestyle. It is a key element of the brand and one of the reasons that his target demographics purchase the menswear line: the opportunity to have a taste of his lifestyle. In addition to creating a high end event at the Rosewater Supper Club in Toronto, we coordinated a media tour in Montreal and Toronto with Mr. Combs. To ensure that Mr. Combs would be able to attend the event, we had only four weeks to coordinate the entire event and the media tour including all security details, hotel and entourage requirements, party logistics and media tour bookings. To generate buzz right from the initial invitation, we hired two VIP security officers dressed in Sean John suits to hand deliver the individually wrapped, boxed invitations in a Sean John branded Hummer.
Results: More than $17,294,870 in editorial coverage was generated, a 100x Return on Investment, and more than 221,811,718 impressions were generated. All of the major national media carried stories, as did affiliates across Canada. We coordinated live on-air appearances on MuchMusic in Toronto and MusiquePlus in Montreal. Media flocked to cover the arrival of his plane in both cities, even with his plane arriving at midnight in Toronto. There was front page coverage on the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun. Fashion Television followed the group around all day, filming behind the scenes and generating a six minute feature piece that was shown in more than 40 countries worldwide. More than 675 guests attended the event including the who's who of Canada's fashion trade and media. Mr. Combs himself told a New York-based trade publication, DNR about the Canadian launch of his fashion line, executed by us, "It was overwhelming. I think it definitely surpassed my expectations." The program received the prestigious 2006 IABC Gold Quill Award, a 2006 Silver Leaf Award and a 2006 OVATION Award for Media Relations.
Client: Cadbury Trebor Allan Inc.
Project: The Cadbury Caramilk Search for Canada's Best Kept Secret Contest
Objective: To re-ignite consumers' interest in and generate awareness of Cadbury Caramilk by leveraging the secrets concept inherent to the brand.
Strategy: To create awareness of Caramilk in a newsworthy manner, we developed The Cadbury Caramilk Search for Canada's Best Kept Secret Contest. It included a media relations campaign to generate awareness for the contest, as well as reveal information gained from a national consumer "Secrets Survey" that revealed Canadians' attitudes about secrets. We created a branded Reveal Your Secrets Kiosk that travelled across Canada and gathered videotaped secrets and included sampling opportunities. We also created radio and television co-promotions to promote the kiosk coming to cities across Canada.
Results: More than $570,000 in editorial coverage was generated, four times the cost of the program. More than 41 million impressions were created and the cost per impression was $0.00. All media coverage leveraged the secrets positioning and 46,000 samples of Caramilk were handed out to key demographic targets one-on-one. In addition, more than 530,000 Canadians saw the kiosk. The program contributed to the 13 per cent growth the brand experienced in 2002 and helped the brand to become the number one chocolate bar in Canada during the timing of the program. The program won an OVATION award in 2003.
Client: Wildlife Preservation Trust Canada
Project: Corporate Identity Research and Re-branding
Objective: To identify if the charity should re-brand and then help them to create that new identity.
Strategy: Wildlife Preservation Trust Canada (WPTC) is a lean, hands-on organization based in Guelph, Ontario that since 1985 has worked to save critically endangered species both in Canada and around the world — species whose numbers are so low that a great deal more than habitat protection is required to recover them. The project included working with a Task Force of Board Members to conduct a feasibility study of re-branding WPTC, including defining their target audiences, and considering whether changing their name, logo and identity would increase their appeal to their target audiences. The project needed to consider the timeline required, the cost and the implementation issues. The next step was to create the new name and logo. We outlined from our research what the name should convey, what needed to be kept in mind when revising the new name, identified that the current brand's dodo had to go and suggested colours.
We identified 44 characteristics that were inherent to the organization and that the new brand would need to convey. Those were narrowed down as were the more than 35 suggested names that evolved from the research. We recommended that the name change slightly to Wildlife Preservation Canada and worked with our designer to create the new graphic icon. We also recommended adding a tagline to identify what WPTC does. We created 16 taglines, identified the top four and reviewed those with the Task Force.
Results: After reviewing many competitive logos, and having many discussions with the Task Force, we narrowed down the 50 designs we created to arrive at the new brand:
Feedback from the Board members included:
From the Executive Director: I think you did an excellent job of presenting your report to the Board and I have now read your full report and must commend you for a well written and comprehensive report. I found the input you received from people not connected to the Trust extremely valuable (i.e. charitable organizations often are very "inward" looking and tend to communicate in terms that may be familiar internally, but mean absolutely nothing to "outsiders" who we may want to bring "onside." The input from outsiders on how our messages are not public friendly really hit home in the sense that I didn't realize that the average educated person would not pick up on the concepts, so we obviously need to address this.
Incoming President: Again, many thanks for an excellent presentation that made the Board's acceptance of our hard work that much easier. The inclusion of the process and some of the options made it clear that we had dealt with a lot of ideas.
Client: Strub Brothers Ltd.
Project: Ongoing Marketing Initiatives
Objective: To develop marketing and public relations initiatives to help create awareness of Strub's
pickle products.
Strategy: We first began working with Strub's, a small, privately owned family business based in Brantford, Ontario in 1999. We developed a public relations program that introduced the 70-year-old company to Canadians. Each subsequent year, we have developed integrated communications programs that have slowly expanded into radio advertising, couponing and additional sponsorship. To celebrate the company's 75th birthday in 2004, we developed a program that included The Strub's Celebrity Pickle-Off at the Good Food Festival, and the Strub's 75th Anniversary Family Reunion Contest and media relations campaign that included the development of new recipes using Strub's pickled products and facts gained from a national family reunion survey. In 2006, we launched the first organic pickle in Canada.
Results: The initial public relations program generated $274,724 in coverage, helped to increase market share 52 per cent and won two communication industry awards. The ongoing integrated efforts have continued to contribute to double-digit sales growth each year. ACN numbers have shown that our efforts have actually increased the size of the refrigerated pickles market. The 75th anniversary program came in under budget and generated more than 60,000,000 impressions at a cost of $0.00 per impression. The total editorial value of the program was more than $650,000. Our contest web site received almost 300,000 hits in three months and the program helped Strub's to achieve its growth goals in Ontario and Western Canada including getting new listings. The program received a 2005 OVATION Award for Media Relations. Our program to launch Strub's organic product reached 4.7 million people and generated a return on investment of 19.5 times the budget.
Client: Kraft Canada Inc.
Project: Post Honey Bunches of Oats Relaunch
Objective: Create consumer awareness of new packaging of Post Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal.
Strategy: Recognizing that most consumers and media have no interest in new packaging designs, we created the "It's Big… Really Really Big" program for Post. Working with Kraft and Kraft Kitchens, together we made the world's largest cereal treat bar to break the current Guinness World Record. To keep the attempt a secret to prevent other competitors and the current record holder, Michigan State University from pursing the record as well, we had to draft media materials and information pieces very creatively.
Results: The results were definitely really, really big. After more than 1,600 boxes of cereal, and 14 hours of cooking, the team created a 2,900 pound Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal Treat Bar. We then coordinated getting the official weighing of the bar and transporting the bar to downtown Toronto during rush hour traffic for an official unveiling the next day. At the unveiling, we cut the bar, wrapped it and handed out more 18,000 pieces of the treats to passersby. We had arranged for a dozen charities to receive pieces, as well as a number of local companies. The event was featured in TV, radio and newspapers across the country.
Client: Royal LePage Relocation Services
Project: All-Star Tool Kit Program Launch
Objective: Royal LePage Relocation Services (RLRS) merged three companies with distinct corporate cultures and identities and needed to harmonize and motivate the team.
Strategy: To create a common vision around which the 400 employees in five national offices could rally, we conducted a communications audit and developed the All-Star Tool Kit Program. The program created excitement around RLRS' new corporate look and approach to business. The program included a teaser campaign, an all-star employee launch event that was held at movie theatres in the five cities on one day, customized briefcases with new business tools, including a Style Guide, and a relocation tool kit for clients.
Results: Employees enthusiastically accepted the new look and the new tools. This program was awarded three communications industry awards in 2000.

Observations reveal how nanoparticle catalysts lower operating temperatures in fuel cells
(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology and Arizona State University have used environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) to explain the role of nickel nanoparticles in lowering the operating temperature of praseodymium doped ceria (PDC) anodes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) (see paper in Catalysis Today:"Direct observation of hydrogen spillover in Ni-loaded Pr-doped ceria").
These fuel cells are a promising technology for efficiently converting chemical fuels into electricity, and PDC-based anodes have the potential to replace the more commonly used nickel and yttria-stabilized zirconia anodes, which operate at higher temperatures (typically in excess of 1000 °C) that unfortunately cause the anodes to degrade.
Nickel and PDC are being investigated as alternative anode materials because they operate at a relatively cool 500 °C to 700 °C, making the anodes more stable. Using the ETEM, the researchers were able to visualize nanometer-scale structural and chemical changes occurring at the interface between the nickel and the PDC as a function of temperature in an atmosphere of dry hydrogen at 130 Pa, mimicking the partial pressure of hydrogen in a SOFC.
Using energy-loss spectra, the researchers showed that the introduction of nickel nanoparticles lowered the reduction temperature of the PDC in a 20 nm-deep reduction zone around the interface between the two materials. The formation and size of the reduction zone is consistent with two possible mechanisms, each involving the spillover of ambient atomic hydrogen from the nickel to the PDC.
The researchers believe that understanding and controlling how the nickel nanoparticles catalyze these lower-temperature reactions will enable the development of SOFCs that are both efficient and long-lived.

#100happydays 51-60: A little more travel!
On our first full day down in Bavaria, my Dad and I had a 3 hour ski lesson with an Austrian man called Helmut (couldn't understand a word), and that afternoon the three of us (not Helmut, replace him with my brother) headed to see Schloss Neuschwanstein, which you may know for its likeness to the Disney castle.
More skiing and some definite soreness on day 52, finishing with a drive through some of Austria and stopping for a bite to eat in Lermoos; this turned out to be the day's most flattering photo of me!
All a little bruised and battered, we decided to take a 24 hour break from skiing and took a little road trip down to gorgeous Innsbruck!
Very colourful place amongst the snowy mountains!
A chilled day in Bayern with a ski in Austria in the morning. I'm the little blob in the middle!
My last day in Bayern included dropping my brother off at the local airport and then heading to have a clearer look at Neuschwanstein with my Dad. It's quite surreal close up, and only a 25 minute walk up the hill. Definitely worth a visit, I think.
On day 57 I returned to Hamburg! Happy days indeed.
A little moment of madness possibly brought on by lack of sleep/a travelling high led me to sign up for not one, but two half marathons later on this year. Gulp. I'm hoping my attempt at training will be less injury-ridden than the last time I tried. This time around, however, I know I'll have the lovely Louise for the Nottingham Half, and both her and the lovely Jade for the Tissington Trail. Still, gulp.
It was only St. Patrick's Day! Green (ish. They're green. I blame the filter for the doubt) sparkly nails were certainly in order! This was also the first day of my training!
And finally to round up this ten day instalment, the delight of combining Beyoncé and my iPad mini to make a cardio session much more enjoyable.
Also I have no internet connection at work, so this is what happens when you're off the grid for a few hours: 261 whatsapp notifications. Thanks Fay (Slo), Loz, Kath (Kegz) & Saz.
See you at day 70!

Q: Including a different version of a library, in a maven dependency totally broke my build So I had
 <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-jaxrs</artifactId>
            <version>1.8.3</version>
            <scope>${defaultScope}</scope>
        </dependency>

I included this
   <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-social-web</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.2.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

which itself includes this
 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
      <version>1.9.3</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Which resulted in a no class not found for jsonwrapper.
I updated my original version of jackson dependency to be up-to-date with the spring-social included version, and it now works.
This seem rather fragile/unfriendly, is there something I should be doing to avoid such problems ?

A: You can inspect the dependencies of dependencies using
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose

In your case it yelds:

      \- (org.springframework:spring-web:jar:3.1.0.RELEASE:compile - omitted for duplicate)

And as far as I see, it's not spring-social-web that includes jackson-mapper-asl

A: You can tell Maven to ignore transitive dependencies using <exclusions> section:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-social-web</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2.RELEASE</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <artifactId>org.codehaus.jackson</artifactId>
            <groupId>jackson-mapper-asl</groupId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

With this definition Maven will use only dependency that you defined earlier (1.8.3 version). But be aware that sometimes this can lead to other problems, for example spring-social-web may use features that do not exist in 1.8.3 version.

Larger than life statues depict the execution of José Rizal, forever commemorating the life and death of this important Filipino leader.
At the western edge of the park near Avenue Roxas is the "Rizal Monument," a 50-foot (15 m) high granite obelisk. Several large panels flank the monument on which "Mi Último Adiós" has been written in English, Spanish and Tagalog (one of the major languages spoken in the Philippines and the basis for Filipino). Filipino Marines in immaculate uniforms guard over this imposing monument.
North of the monument, near the Chinese Garden, is a small enclosed section. This is the actual site of Rizal's execution. Larger-than-life dioramas show his final days in captivity and his death at the hands of his own countrymen. The Spanish authorities used Filipino, and not Spanish soldiers, for his firing squad. As the diorama shows, Rizal's last act of defiance was to face away from his executioners.
The statues in this park are more than a permanent tableau to this important page in Filipino history. They are used in regular sound and light shows that tell Rizal's story. Entrance to the Rizal Diorama is 10 pesos (US$ 0.18) and the times for the light and sound shows are posted at the ticket kiosk.
Exiting from this small and somber enclosure back into the park proper, one only has to look at the crowds of Filipinos enjoying themselves in simple daily pleasures to realize that a park like this really is a fitting memorial to this man.

Prospect of the Month (April)
Posted on May 3, 2021 by Gary Kittilsen
On a month that featured countless highly touted prospects taking important step-up fights. With a wide array of outcomes and multiple high-level prospects taking the first "L" of the career. On one particularly prospect loaded card, one prospect put forth the most spectacular performance of his young and impressive career. On a Top Rank Card, that featured their entire stable of high-level Puerto Rican Prospects. However, one man stole the show via a first-round knockout, and it wasn't the one with the incredible 1st round knockout streak, rather, 18-year-old phenome Xander Zayas, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, scored a devastating first-round stoppage of 8-1-1 prospect Demarcus Clayton, a hard-hitting 6'2 welterweight, on the undercard of Navarette- Diaz, running his record to 8-0 (6) and capturing our Prospect of the Month Award for April.
Xander Zayas reminds you such much of Felix Trinidad. both are tall rangy Puerto Ricans with a dynamite right-hand and lethal left hook who stands upright and patiently wait then explodes the moment the opportunity arises. That's exactly what happened on the 24th at the Silver Spurs Arena, in Florida. That's exactly what the undefeated phenome did. Just moments into the opening stanza Zayas walked Layton down, backed him into the ropes ducked a shot, and threw a picture-perfect left hook that caught Layton's attention the Puerto Rican then unleashed another left hook that rocked his opponent, seizing the moment Zayas unleashed a barrage of power shots and a ferocious left-hook landed on the button putting Layton down and out. Giving Xayas the 8th consecutive win of his young and promising career win of Since the departure of Miguel CottoPuerto Rican fights, fans have patiently awaited the arrival of their next megastar. The next Island native that can carry the torch of their impressive legacy. At 18 Zayas appears to be that guy. The next great Puerto Rican star.
The 147-pound division has long been considered the "talent division" many of the sports best fighters and pound-for-pound elites have spent years campaigning in the division. With young upstarts, like Vergil Ortiz, Jarron "Boots" Ennis, Connor Benn, Jesus Ramos, and now Zayas the division appears to be in great hands for the future. At just 18 the Puerto Rican could be the most skilled of the bunch of young 147-pounders and has the potential to grow into a massive box office draw and multi-weight division belt holder. Despite being just 18 he appears to be ready for the step-up in completion and fights with the likes of rugged veterans such as Brad Solomon, Julius Indongo, Kendo Castenada or Jovanie Santiago are all possible opponents, having Top Rank connections and are winnable fights that would make sense for Zayas. Wins against this caliber of opponent would help propel him into contender status in 2022, fast-tracking the teenager to a world title shot.

One of our many ancestral hometowns is Petersham, Massachusetts, population 1234 as of 2010. In 1733, land was granted to a group of men to found a town in central Massachusetts. Even before this time, though, our Wilson relatives were already in residence – Joseph Willson, my 7G-grand-uncle, was said to be the first white man to winter here, and Abner, son of Joseph and his wife Rebakah, was born here in October 10, 1732.
Joseph's brother Samuel, my 7G-grandfather, was born about 1702 in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, then known as Billerica. Tewksbury's state hospital once housed Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller's teacher, as a child. Samuel Willson married Mary Davenport on November 25, 1734. He had 13 children, all of whom appear to have been born in Petersham. Either Mary's approximate birthdate of 1696 is incorrect, or Samuel may have been married more than once.
In 2002 Mom and I visited Petersham, explored its cemeteries and encountered a wild turkey. We also spent time in the Petersham Country Store. We were sad to learn later that the store had closed, though it appears that the store still has a lot of supporters in the area. While in Petersham Mom and I also learned about the building of the Quabbin Reservoir between 1930 and 1939, which flooded four towns: Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott. I am thankful Petersham was spared.

Sieger Design creates tiny home spa that fits inside micro apartments
Ali Morris | 13 July 2018 Leave a comment
A horizontal shower replaces the bathtub in this futuristic six-square-metre home spa, designed for small-space living by German studio Sieger Design.
Realised in collaboration with bathroom brand Dornbracht, the Small Size Premium Spa, which the company refers to as SSPS, has been designed in response to urbanisation and shrinking apartment sizes.
"More and more people are moving into cities, resulting in increasing scarcity of living space and rising apartment prices. But at the same time, there's increasing demand for enhanced quality of life," said Michael Sieger, co-founder of Sieger Design.
"The bathroom is becoming ever more important as a part of overall living space. Not only does it serve to prevent illness and boost quality of life, but it is also becoming more and more of a refuge – a place to refresh and revitalise."
"The Small Size Premium Spa, SSPS for short, fulfils all the standards of a luxury spa in a compact area of approximately six square metres," he added.
The minimalist design is divided into a dry zone and a wet zone, which are separated by a glass screen. The wet zone features a vertical and a horizontal shower with customisable integrated strip lights, and spotlights, sound system and fragrance options.
"Since the innovative shower applications make it just as comfortable to shower lying down as to take a bath, there's no need for a bathtub," said Sieger.
"If a bathtub is expressly required, it can be precisely integrated (in combination with a footbath, for example) and covered when necessary so that it can be used as a seat."
Meanwhile, the dry zone features a double washbasin with an extendible sprinkler head that can be used to wash hair. A compact toilet sits in the corner, while a display built into the mirror or cabinet front allows users to individually control all elements of the bathroom. As the room is fully networked, it can be configured remotely ahead of time via an app.
Nobody wants to talk about style anymore, says Rossana Hu
Mirrors are used to create a feeling of spaciousness. A large screen that lines the wet zone acts as a virtual window, which can display a live camera feed of the surroundings and produce an atmosphere that harmonises with changes in the natural light outside.
The SSPS concept was originally debuted in 2015. It is on show at the West One Bathrooms showroom in Battersea, London.
Since then, Sieger Design has also introduced a slightly larger eight-square-metre version for hotels called the SSPS Suite.
This year, it unveiled the SSPS Apartment – a concept for a 35-square-metre city home that features an integrated private spa, including a 3.5-square-metre washing and showering area.
The bath is located behind a translucent glass barrier that lets in daylight from the living area. In addition to the Vertical Shower and the rain panel integrated into the ceiling, the wet zone features special massage jets positioned to stimulate various parts of the body.
Additional electronically controlled water outlets enable residents to programme automated sequence showers while sitting, or they can select a "stimulating leg shower". While the bathroom is occupied or during the spa treatments, the apartment's separate guest toilet can be used at any time by others.
The apartment also features a compact seven-square-metre kitchen and plenty of built-in floor to ceiling storage. Functions, materials, finishes and colours can be tailored to meet individual needs and taste.
The design team said the concept could be used not only for private flats, but also for hotels or yachts.

A Democrat running for a US House seat in Pennsylvania offered praise for then-President-elect Donald Trump, called on Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to resign and said progressives "are the least tolerant of anyone who disagrees with them" in a series of now-deleted tweets.
Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli is running to replace retiring Republican Rep. Charlie Dent in what is now Pennsylvania's 7th District. Morganelli, who is a centrist Democrat running in a crowded field of six primary candidates, is backed by United Together, a group with reported ties with the bipartisan organization No Labels, and longtime Clinton associate Lanny Davis.
The race in Pennsylvania's 7th district pits the more conservative Morganelli against a slate of more liberal candidates, illustrating the intra-party ideological fights playing out nationwide among Democrats. Heading into Tuesday's primary, progressive groups are concerned that Morganelli, someone who once floated going to work for Trump's administration, could emerge as the party's nominee.
Morganelli has long been a hardliner on immigration, breaking with his party and advocating for a crackdown on illegal immigration. Since announcing his run in January, Morganelli has emphasized his efforts on several liberal policy priorities, including gun control, equal pay for women, alleviating student loan debt and increasing access to affordable health care.

Marjorie Simmins has a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of British Columbia and a Certificate in Adult Education from Dalhousie University. In 2011, she completed a Master of Arts, Research, focusing on memoir studies, at Mount Saint Vincent University. She teaches memoir writing on both coasts, most recently as a guest-alumna, at the UBC Alumni Centre, March 2017.


If the participant successfully completes the program, the District Attorney will not prosecute the case and the participant will not have a criminal record, the case will be dismissed prior to arraignment. However, if the participant does not successfully complete the program or voluntarily withdraws from the program, the case will go forward in court for prosecution.
The case will be monitored by a member of the district attorney's staff who will also ensure compliance of these requirements.
The community service will be dedicated to diversion program initiatives, such as improving parks, playgrounds and fields in Worcester County used by children and adults. The labor from the diversion candidates will help make these spaces safer and more desirable for public use and youth programs.

Why are Worcester's teams 0-16?
Anyone who reads the standings in Tuesday's Telegram & Gazette knows that each of Worcester's four public, nonvocational high school football teams – Doherty, Burncoat, North and South – is 0-4 this fall. But the standings don't tell the entire story. They don't mention the challenges facing the coaches and the obstacles the teams must overcome.

A: Try to cast these request.getParameter() to String  like this:
   String b1=(String)request.getParameter("on");
   String of=(String)request.getParameter("off");

And write the equals method in if condition like this:
    if("on".equals(b1))
    ....

    if("off".equals(of))
