Is It Cake or Not Cake?

Advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy has created a series of short video clips called Cake or Not Cake? that ask British viewers to guess whether the product shown is an illusion cake made by ‘The Bake King’ Ben Cullen or one of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference products.

Follow the link and scroll down the page to watch the short video clips.

What do you think? Is it cake or is it not cake?

Kings of the Underground

Kings of the Underground

Kings of the Underground

An exhibition honours Wales’ last coal miners’ strength, resilience and humanity.

Kings of the Underground features over 40 photogrammetry* portraits of miners and their relatives.

The faces have lines and scars from years of working underground, but they also show pride, humour and camaraderie.

Kings of the Underground is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and victories of those who worked in the dark to help the country grow.

Look at the amazing portraits (and read the short texts accompanying them) and pay tribute to the underground kings.

Both photos and texts moved me in ways that are hard to explain.

 

* Photogrammetry converts 2-dimensional images into 3D images.

Why Aren’t More People Meditating?

Why Aren’t More People Meditating?

Meditation can help us feel less stressed, more focused and happier overall.

Sounds great, right? So why don’t more people do it?

Well, some people think meditation is just for hippies or monks, and others don’t think that it works.

It can be hard to know where to start or what to do, too.

But looking at this infographic, I’d say it’s worth giving it a try.

In fact, I used to practise meditation for 30 minutes every morning for a while, and then I stopped. I have no idea why, because it really did help me feel calmer, more centred and more in control of my emotions.

I’ve started again. 

This time I’m testing the Waking up app.

You might like to, too.

Trying meditation won’t hurt. The worst that could happen is nothing!

Tips and Tricks for Finding the Right Words on Bilingual Websites

It’s not unusual to come across words we can’t find in a dictionary.

But there’s an easy way you might not have thought of—use bilingual websites.

Neuland has a website in both German and English, for example.

Imagine you want to talk about Bewertungspunkte, Lochverstärker and Pastellkreiden.

Go over to Neuland’s English site and you’ll find marking dots, reinforcement stickers and chalk pastels.

There’s no reason to reinvent the wheel! wink

 

 

The Privilege To Be Alive

The Privilege To Be Alive

The Privilege To Be Alive

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Marcus Aurelius

Take a moment to reflect on your own life and the things you are grateful for.

What are some of the simple pleasures that bring you joy each day?

How can you cultivate a greater sense of appreciation for the small things in life?

How can we share our appreciation for life with those around us, and help them to see the beauty and value in their own lives?
