Designed by the late National Artist J. Elizalde Navarro, it symbolizes "THE THIRD EYE" - the quality of being perceptive and being able to see, through the surface, the essences of things. |
Perceptions has been Microsoft’s PR agency in the Philippines since 2005 and the business relationship has turned into a strong partnership that has brought recognition to the Microsoft PR team amongst its APAC and worldwide PR network. |
Ideas are what clients come to us for and we rise to the challenge whether it is for a million-peso project, a pitch or an internal brainstorming with colleagues. |
After the success of its first domestic tourism project, "Biyahe Tayo!", Perceptions has provided its services to the Department of Tourism (DOT) for the "Pilipinas, Tara Na!" domestic tourism campaign. |
I am still processing all of my olfactory activity from the end September until now. It’s been a period of extreme intensity, which has seen me deliver a residency, a solo show, two group shows and 5 workshops around the UK within a 7 week time frame. As you might expect this will take time to evaluate, but doing so will be important as there are certainly things I’d do differently should a similar opportunity arise. |
No doubt I’ll blog about such an evaluation on here before the end of the year. but right now I just want to relax and think about how my most recent perfume making workshop at Abbey House Museum went. |
You see, I approached this workshop slightly differently. As my practice has veered more towards creating oil based fragrances, I thought it appropriate to begin teaching oil based perfumery. Previously my workshops had taught alcohol based perfumery. |
I feel oil perfumes are richer and more opulent than their alcohol based counterparts. Plus participants can take a complete perfume home on the day instead of having to add water later on. Not to mention the fact that application of oil perfumes is a more personal experience; which directly references my own thought process when designing perfume portraits. |
On the face of it this may seem small, but it highlights a change going forward as I seek to interweave my workshops with my exhibitions, allowing them to more directly reference each other. I think this is important for reinforcing my role as a fine art perfumer as it shines a light on my own processes. |
Anyway, all of this rambling is really just delaying the inevitable – that being how to digest the aforementioned last 7 weeks. It will be a big task, but hopefully I’ll have done it by the end of the week. Here goes! |
Then we're going run a benchmark to fill up the database. |
Finally, we will use kubectl to expand the size of the volume and re-run the benchmark. |
The parameters are declarative policies for your storage volume. Notice the "allowVolumeExpansion: true" this needs to be added for kubernetes volume expansion. See here for a full list of supported parameters. |
The task is for a small group to count to ten, collectively, without any two people saying a number at the same time and with no verbal planning. The group will need to cooperate and focus in order to be successful. |
Ask your group to form a circle. |
Your group will count to the same number as there are people in the group so that everyone is responsible for one number. Example: There are ten people in a group, they will count to ten, 23 people then have them count to 23 together. |
The timing of this activity will depend heavily on the size of your group. Groups of 10-15 people will take 10-20 minutes. You should allot larger groups 20-30 minutes. |
Explain that no talking or planning is allowed. |
The task is for the group to count (to the number determined above) collectively without any two people saying a number at the same time. For example, one person starts by shouting “one,” and another person shouts “two” and so on. |
Each number must be called out clearly by one person, and no one else may talk when a number is called. |
When two or more people speak simultaneously, the entire group starts back at zero. For example, if two people call out “five,” the group restarts. |
Every member must say a number. |
The group must work out an informal solution to accomplish this task. |
Facilitator Note: It may take awhile but group members will work out creative solutions together! |
If your group is successful try a larger number. |
If you have a large group, split them up into smaller groups to start and then bring them together to try with more people. |
Have them turn their backs to the inside of the circle to make the communication even more difficult. |
What would today’s world look like without Instagram? Less than a decade ago, Instagram started as a place to share snapshots from your phone and allowed you to use a few basic filters to spice up an image (cue the birth of the well-known “Valencia” filter). Eight years later, Instagram has become its own empire: conceiving the world of influencers, opening a whole new market for advertising, and creating a space for communities to grow and learn from each other. |
What has Instagram offered the modern creative? Let’s explore the value Instagram gives to four different artists and how they are using Instagram in their everyday lives. |
Before we examine the use of Instagram by artists on an individual level, there are a few common themes of the creative Instagram community that are important to keep in mind. |
1) Instagram is an outlet for sharing and discovery – with the opportunity, and likelihood, to forge connections along the way. |
Picture an amateur painter looking for inspiration. While scrolling through the #watercolor page on Instagram she stumbles upon the account of a watercolor painter from a neighboring town. She admires the artist’s style and attention to detail so she DMs the artist a sample of her work asking if he might be willing to offer her guidance. He writes her back giving advice and critiques and just like that, a relationship is formed. |
This could happen with two musicians, two designers, two photographers…you name it. Creatives of all types use the platform to find inspiration, share their work, and make connections. |
2) Instagram is a modern-day portfolio. |
With (almost) all things digital, most artists have moved towards showcasing their work through websites, slide decks, and social media. Since its emphasis is on photo-sharing, a wide range of artists commonly use Instagram to display pieces from their portfolio on their accounts and some have accounts devoted entirely to their portfolio. |
Now, let’s take a look at a few artists in the world of Instagram. |
Furniture designer Chris Wolston finds his work in the spotlight quite often. In addition to using Instagram to share personal content, inspiration, and examples of his work, he shares earned media with his followers. From features in British Vogue and Sotheby’s to spreads in Architectural Digest, Wolston’s earned media are no small feats. Instagram gives him an added outlet to promote the recognition he’s received. |
For Hip-hop choreographer and dancer Guy Amir (also known as “Guy Groove”), Instagram is a playground: a place for his choreography to shine. His account highlights videos of routines he’s created showcasing his choreography style and many of the dancers he’s worked with. The videos are filmed with simple studios as the backdrops with dancers dressed casually, emphasizing his choreography. Amir’s moves are not only popular on his personal page, but also widespread among the dance community of Instagram. The hashtags #groovygang, #GuyGroove, and #guygroovechoreography each have a few thousand posts of dancers performing Amir’s choreography. Continually using these hashtags and encouraging his dancers to do the same will boost Amir’s presence in the Instagram world. And the greater his reach, the greater his chances are that new dancers will discover his work. |
Designer Luke Choice’s feed is a vivid collection of typography, animation, and illustration marked by pops of bold colors. He’s built up a strong following at around 88,200 which has allowed him to use Instagram as more than just a place to showcase his work. Choice is considered an Instagram “influencer” and attracts major companies to participate with him in “paid partnerships” through the platform to reach potential consumer bases. |
He was commissioned by SweeTarts Candy to create a visual campaign for the brand’s new gummy candy. Choice featured a post highlighting his work for the product, a paid promotion by SweeTarts as noted by the “paid partnership” and #ad tags. For Choice, Instagram has not only been an arena for promoting work, but also a source for driving business and generating income. |
Getting paid per post is becoming increasingly popular on Instagram as the user base continues to grow. Individuals are purchasing directly from their smartphones more – 62% of smartphone users have made an online purchase using their device in the last year – and companies are earning a profit simply from user clicks. |
New York and Miami-based fashion photographer Anthony Parmelee actively uses his Instagram for creative and professional endeavors. Originally, his Instagram served as a space to share personal content, but as he noticed others in his industry using the platform more and more as a tool for business and marketing, he began to do the same. |
Anthony is in the process of curating content that gives his followers (about 85-90% of whom are fashion industry related) a behind the scenes journey they wouldn’t get to experience from just seeing his work in a magazine or on an advertisement. |
This behind the scenes footage is for the CoverGirl “virtual greeter” – an AI component of the first CoverGirl store which will be located in Times Square and open in the fall. |
Anthony has shifted from spending hours of paging through Vogues from around the world, Marie Claire, and Elle to find inspiration (and hundreds of dollars to buy the magazines) to sparking his creativity through social media. He now uses Instagram and Pinterest to study inspiration and creativity, taking screen clips of media he likes and saving it to his inspiration folder to refer back to when he’s looking for his next big idea for a shoot. And Instagram has given him the opportunity to find new people to work with and places to shoot. |
“A lot of times if I see really good retouching I’ll take note of the accounts that are tagged to reference who worked on the shoot. Or if I see a really great model, I’ll see who’s tagged and then I’ll follow that person, or at least have their handle so I know who they are and can reference that if I want to use them. I do this for locations as well. When I follow a Miami photographer or a New York photographer I can see places they’ve shot. I might see a really great beach or house or resort and then I’ll reference that location tag [if] I want to shoot there. |
Anthony gets inquiries through Instagram on a daily basis. Most professional inquiries he receives through his website and email, Instagram inquires tend to be models who want their picture taken, but he notes that these DMs are still good information to have as they open the lines of communication. |
His goal at the moment is to increase his number of followers by posting a few times per week and using hashtags pertinent to his work like #editorial and #fashionphotographer. By increasing his following, he hopes to get more people to regularly see his work and ultimately drive them to his website, LinkedIn, and other social outlets. |

Of course, the biggest question people ask me is why I need to know yet another language. After 28 years I’ve collected knowledge of more than a few computer languages—some of which turned out to be turkeys, some of which were extremely useful for a limited time, and others that I still use almost daily. Experiencing new languages and understanding how they can make developers more productive helps keep computer science alive for me. If I had stayed with the original set of languages that I learned as part of my training in college, I would not only be bored to tears, I’d be unemployed. So, if nothing else, learning about TypeScript is an adventure for me. |
If you do try TypeScript out, let me know what you think of it. Do the features that TypeScript provides today make working with a new language worthwhile? Let me know your thoughts at John@JohnMuellerBooks.com. Also, keep your eyes peeled for more posts about TypeScript because this really does seem like an interesting and productive language! |

Thats a real shame, my LLC got back to me to come to an induction session but after that I as pestering her LOADS for a start date and sometimes she didn't get back to me. However I came to realise its quite normal having to wait 6 weeks for a start date. |
Maybe you should get back in contact with LL head office again and just say you have tried contacting your local LLC 3 times with no reply and are intrested in getting started. Im sure they will hurry her up. I havent heard of LL giving any discounts for any reason. However I her they are bring out a new program that is 3 packs and meal it may be cheaper, however I dont think this would work for some people. I would go straight of track if I had to introduce a meal. |
Anyway good luck hopefully you will hear from someone soon. |
Hi sorry to hear you're having trouble getting in touch with them. My llc was brilliant, it's my first day today only got in touch last thursday and had my info session on saturday. She was really supportive and just wanted to help me get started asap! |
Hope you have more luck soon! |
Are there any other LLC's in your area - there were 3 near me that I could choose from. |
If cost is a problem, why not think about CD or Lipotrim, then you would be able to start straight away. Although it depends on whether you feel you need the counselling part of LL. |
just a little rant - so annoying! |

Setting up an Adwords Campaign can be daunting. There seems to be no end of options, dialogue boxes and drop down menus! So you’ve created an ad and got it displayed on Google’s Ad Network. You’ve even had a few clicks. But what now? How can I tell if all this time, money and effort is actually doing my project any good? As we provide Adwords management services to many companies we can walk you though it. |
Congratulations – you can untick the “AdWords Novice” check-box because you are well on your way to joining the community of “Serious AdWords Users”. You can accomplish this with the Google AdWords Conversion Tracking Tool. Basically Conversion Tracking works by identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that you set up. |
First off you need to decide which Indicator (or indicators) is/are important to you. eg. you need to ask yourself “Why am I running this AdWords Campaign and what do I want to achieve?”. |
Popular responses are to generate sales, gain user downloads and sign-ups, form-fills, app downloads, generate leads or even have direct phone calls to your business. The system is so flexible that you can actually import your own “offline” data too (e.g. a sale in a bricks and mortar outlet). |
After your conversion goals have been set, Google can associate them with the AdWords activity that lead to the conversion. This is when AdWords comes into it’s own. The resulting data can help you to fine-tune your campaign by optimising your keywords, ads, quality score and bid. When you hit the sweet spot, it’s a case of How many units would you like to sell? |
So what are these Four Main Methods? Here we go! |
Start by clicking the Tools/Conversions menu option. Click the red “+Conversion” button. |
1) Website tracking. After answering some questions about how the conversion works, AdWords will give you a code snippet to paste onto your website. It will normally go on a webpage of your site like “Order Confirmation” or “Thanks for Contacting Us”. |
2) App Activity. Adwords can get you up and running with Android data for App installs and In-App purchases, but if you need iOS or more complex user activity, you will need to install the FireBase SDK (Or similar). |
3) Phone calls. Track calls to your Ads by using a Google forwarding phone number or by adding a tag to your website. This can be very powerful when used in conjunction with Location Extensions and ad scheduling for the times of day you want the phone to ring. |
After you have saved the conversion data, click done and that’s it. Google will do the rest to marry up all AdWords activity with any confirmed Conversion Goals. If you have any questions or need some assistance with setting up your Conversion Goals, please don’t hesitate to use the JivoChat widget or drop us a Contact Message. |
