“Hello Dave,We've not met before. I'm an ad creative too.I felt compelled to write and tell you how much I'm enjoying your blog. I've learnt loads. (Now I've started writing this email I feel a bit silly!)Anyway, keep pumping your stuff from the loft out into the ether.It's wonderful.Thanks,Oli.”I got that email in 2013.I wondered where this charming young man went to college or was on placement, so I googled him: ‘Partner and Executive Creative Director at Anomaly.'Before that Creative Director at Mother.Before that – Wieden + Kennedy (where he'd won a pencil, the yellow one, for one of the coolest ideas of that year; The Kaiser Chiefs album launch.)What an unusually modest guy?Since then I've worked with Oli a few times (once on the Virgin Trains campaign below) he was just as modest and charming as he presents himself in that email. (Listen to the podcast if you don't believe me.)But what I found and what I love about Oli, is whatever he touches – multi-million pound ad campaigns, complaints letters or tweets, his humour, intelligence and humanity come radiating out, like he literally can't help himself.Psychologists have a term for it – ‘Talent'.(We had a lovely chat, hope you enjoy it.)

Original Broadcast: June 2014 ''Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left (Matthew 25:32-33).'' All the nations being gathered before Him, Jesus will separate the people. Sheep and goats are easily distinguished. Before Jesus, all people are easily distinguished as either a sheep or a goat. The sheep will be on the right. The goats on the left. The right-hand side has always been seen as a high place of authority. Everyone wants to be the right-hand man or woman of their employer. They want to be seen as indispensable. And the sheep are truly indispensable. They have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. They receive God's blessings in their lives and in eternity. The goats on the left are ornery. They may have called themselves Christian in their lives, but they refused to live as a Christian. They wanted to have everything on their own terms. But Jesus will not allow this. They are placed on the left, separated from God's holy ones, to mark them as being unholy in their lives and in eternity. And there is no crossing over from the left to the right. On the Last Day, you will not be able to change over from a goat to a sheep. Just as you cannot make a goat into a sheep or vice versa. On the Last Day, everyone will be confirmed in the way they lived according to Christ. Embrace Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and be His sheep. Then you will be placed on His right with His holy ones. Amen.

The debut EP of DC-based PsyOp brings you into the fractured mind of one Daniel K, a twisted prophet of rage who speaks of shifting dreamscapes and the unnameable terrors of the night. Howl from the Void fuses nihilist anthems of decadence and decay ('Bang My Head Against the Wall,' 'The World Owes Me Something'), hardcore bruisers ('Before the Gates'), and jagged postpunk ('Copy and Paste') to create a breathless display of alienation, paranoia, and outrage towards the dystopian techno-horror that is our world today. Henry and John of grind powerhouse No Mas, along with co-writer Seth Abelson and producer Dag'Nabbit, conjure a vivid backdrop to K's scouring vocals and piercing lyrics. PsyOp draws from the righteous fury of classic hardcore and the nihilism of 70's punk to create something fiercely its own.  Download the album: https://psyopdc.bandcamp.com Follow PsyOp  https://www.facebook.com/PSY-OP-105756408045635 https://www.instagram.com/psyopmusic/   Also, you can read Daniel K’s short story Hikikomori: https://www.empathymedialab.com/post/hikikomori-by-danial-kadir    EML’s Artist Profiles Empathy Media Lab’s Artist Profile series focuses on the role of artists in society.

It's been fifty-one days. Fifty-one days of fifty-one black stones and fifty-one white stones vying for control over the weiqi (go/baduk) board. That is longer than the recent hot war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And we are still going strong. Which is a good thing because both of us would love to drop a daisycutter on each others' asses, but the ratings seem to favour death by ninja stealth more. And so, we take things slow and watch the intensity build as we try to force each other's hand to bend to our will. What I find really interesting, is how much of it is emotionally affecting the viewership. Without having a direct say in how the game will progress, it is in some ways more intense for them than it is for us, the actual players. Sure, I spend time calculating the moves. But I don't spend all day on it. In some ways playing one move per day is easier to manage strategically and tactically. What really is trying on my nerves is the waiting game. Waiting for my opponent to make his move - play his stone - so that I can respond in kind. Now for those of you who think it will last forever like a TV show past its use-by-date, you really are poor with numbers regardless of how nerdy smart you project yourselves out to be. The game only has 181 black stones and 180 white stones. And yes, the English websites are wrong. You do not get an infinite number of stones. And the updated Chinese Professional gaming rules miss the point by trying to make the number of stones equal to both sides. War and politics is never a fair fight. It is deliberately meant to be unfair. My opponent requested the match after reading my book '圍棋戰聖: The Weiqi Art of War'. And so it is his game, his world, his establishment. It is my job to take it away from him. And every morning that's what happens. The game is our breakfast newspaper. No Murdoch here. No Great Wall of China, and no North Korean rubbish. This war between us is a good stuff upper lip of calculated Dim Mak targeting. Now on a side note: True Dim Mak is the art of targeting an opponent's vital or pressure points. In an actual battle it rarely works and that's why fighters say it is fake. Real Dim Mak is more like an assassination or surgical strike designed to knock out an opponent 'BEFORE' an actual fight, so that a war is unnecessary. But again, history has proven that it sometimes does not work. In our weiqi game, the war is already happening. Here a successful Dim Mak strike will end it ⚔️圍棋戰聖 Follow on Insta: @baguazhang_
