It might be April Fools' Day but according to the agency that created this app, this next stunt is not a prank.
Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand has created an app that apparently helps clients fire every other agency. An agency spokesperson told Marketing that this is not a prank (we're a little skeptical, but read on).
In the Thai market, 'The Advertising Book' has a complete annual of all advertisers, agencies and marketing service companies present in the market and is known as the Yellow Pages for both agencies and clients alike.
Whilst every other agency runs fancy advertising about how creative they are, Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand decided to take a different route. On the back page, it ran a simple but insightful question: "Need an excuse to fire your agency?"
Via a QR code, clients were invited to view 'Goodbye My Agency', a mobile site with tongue-in-cheek excuses in ready-to-send emails that clients could use to fire their agency. It pokes fun at its competitors such as McCann asking it to change its name to McCan't and telling Ogilvy that having an O in its name is bad luck! Other agencies too aren't spared.
The site also allows clients to call for a pitch against Saatchi & Saatchi, learn about Live Creativity - the agency's real-time social and content creation hub, or even invite the CEO for a coffee.
Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand's ECD, Nuntawat Chaipornkaew said : "Sometimes our industry is too serious, especially when it comes to promoting ourselves in front of clients. We have enjoyed firing all our competitors and we look forward to the 1,964,952 pitches we now have on this week."
Good way to get some attention guys!

Examples and Responsibilities for Health and Safety Plans
What a Health and Safety Plan Example Looks Like
Any health and safety plan example would almost always include, first, the complete address of the work where the health and safety plan is being made for. It also includes the name of the person to whom the plan is prepared for and the person who prepared the same, the date, and the code identifying the project, i.e., is a project number or its equivalent. This plan also includes the names and the signatures of those who created the plan, the people who will approve it and the date when it was signed.
The table of contents of this plan must reflect the part introducing the whole plan, the information regarding the site and the scope of work, the body that will be in charge of the project health and safety, programs to ensure health and safety, assessment of risk in the workplace, safety requirements for each specific activity to be undertaken, protection gear to be required, site control, plan for an emergency response, etc. If there are data analyses, these should be attached after the body. Tables must also be after the text, which should be included in the appendix.
A health and safety plan example will show that a plan should be properly paged and footnoted, if necessary. Normally, a plan would have running heads showing the title of the paper on one side the title of the plan on the other. And at the bottom part is the page number and the date. This plan should be created with all the proper method of writing being considered and applied.
Responsibilities of a Health and Safety Plan Template Contractor
Before a work begins, a health and safety plan template contractor is charged with submitting a template of how to address the health safety of all the people involved in a project.
The template of this plan should include the contractor's name and his detailed information. The details should include the address of the contractor, the person who will represent him, the description of the contract, the place where the work is located, the officers who will be legally responsible for everything, and the date when the work will start and when it will end. It should also include the contractor's safety and contingency policy and management plans. The contractor should also charge itself with responsibilities and liabilities in case something wrong happens. The activities that will take place must also be stated in details.
The health and safety plan template contractor must impress the importance of securing and protecting the people involved in the work. This should have the greatest weight in terms of priorities. The contractor is supposed to be in charge of managing the risk so that it will be at the lowest level and that in case of failure, damage or injury, he has a contingency plan and that he will take responsibility thereof.
The contractor must also provide detailed procedures when faced with an emergency situation. He must not only take into consideration the health and safety of the people involved in the work but also of the general public. The public should not be harmed at all.

Transformers characters often meet all kinds of death and destruction in fiction, and we're not just talking about the 1986 movie! The original Marvel comics produced some particularly nightmarish tales with plenty of intense and graphic imagery, so for our first COUNTDOWN list that's exactly what we're looking at. And yes, at least a few of them involve Optimus Prime having unspeakable things done to him.
We'll be considering every story included in the extended UK run of the comic, including Generation 2. It goes without saying that there will be MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for the whole of the Marvel comic run!
#10: The Dinobots' dream sequences
Victory (1986 UK Annual)
Let's kick things off with an absolute banger from the relatively early days of the expanded UK run. The story sees the Dinobots lying comatose, having been taken out of commission in the equally-classic Dinobot Hunt! We explore some of their greatest fears as they lie dreaming, which translates to the entire story being filled with epic moments.
The title splash page of Grimlock slicing Megatron in two is a definite standout, both as one of the most fantastic pieces of artwork in the comic's entire run and as pretty shocking in its own right. Sadly by the end of each dream the Dinobots have all come a cropper, such as Grimlock being blasted to pieces by a fusion cannon-wielding Starscream.
For me though it's Sludge's dream that really takes the cake, as a tender encounter with his human friend, Joy Meadows, is turned into pure nightmare fuel when she rips her own face off and reveals herself to be a robotic assassin. Sleep well, kids!

#9: Scourge discovers Cyclonus' corpse
Time Wars (UK #203)
Time Wars is one of those stories where pretty much any character could die at any time… and many do! So you'd think it might be hard to pick a standout shocking moment, but the sight of Cyclonus' dismembered body having been strung up on a wall is definitely one. It all happens after Shockwave learns of his own death in the not-too-distant future and spirals into a crisis of despair. Now that's not very logical!
Artwork credit: Reed / Peters
#8: Impactor's death… and "resurrection"
Target: 2006 (UK #88), Legion of the Lost! (UK #166-7), Meltdown (UK #168-9)
There were many fantastic original characters in Marvel's Transformers but Impactor is a fan-favourite. The leader of the Wreckers proves to be a a solid dude, sacrificing himself to save Emirate Xaaron's life at the end of Target: 2006. It's a shocking moment by itself and remains one of the best death scenes in the entire run.
Artwork credit: Simpson / Perkins / Hart
He was then resurrected some two years later… as a zombie! This nightmarish tale builds suspense by holding the introduction of "Zombiepactor" back until the end of the third issue, but when it happens it's definitely one that sticks in the memory. Oh, and he gets to sacrifice himself a second time just for good measure. What a guy!

#7: Optimus gets his face punched in before being eaten alive
A Rage in Heaven (Generation 2 #12)
Oh hey, it's about time we mentioned one of the many moments that Optimus Prime suffered a terrible fate, eh? Yes, the Autobot leader is well-known for being put through some tragic circumstances, but nowhere is that better exemplified that in the Marvel Generation 2 run, with the worst saved until the final issue. First of all Prime comes face-to-face with new generation Decepticon, Jhiaxus, who promptly punches his face off. Ouch!
That splash page alone might not be enough to warrant inclusion on this list but it's the follow up a few moments later that proves really shocking, as Prime realises the only way to win the day is to allow himself to be consumed alive by the Swarm, a cloudlike entity that munches on Transformers. Yikes!
Artwork credit: Senior / Mossoff
#6: The end of the road
End of the Road (UK #331, US #80)
The final story of the original Marvel Transformers run wraps things up pretty quickly come the end, but the story kicks off in a very dark and shocking place. As a kid the sight of many of your favourite heroes lying dead on the floor as the Decepticon army declares final victory made for a memorable issue, demonstrated in the first three panels which see Getaway cornered and ruthlessly slaughtered. Quite the way to start the story off.
Artwork credit: Wildman / Baskerville / Yomtov
#5: Shockwave is blown to bits by Death's Head
The Legacy of Unicron (UK #147)
We've already mentioned Shockwave's death in the future and here it is getting its own place on the list! Yep, it's that time the bounty hunt– er, freelance peace keeping agent, Death's Head, got the drop on the one-eyed Decepticon and blew him to tiny pieces before squashing his brain module between his fingers. Ice cold.
Artwork credit: Senior / White
#4: The Transformers… are all dead!
The Last Stand (UK #8, US #4)
This was the final story in the comic's original four-issue limited series run in the US, and so naturally you might expect everything to wrap up neatly… and it does look like it's going that way for a good moment as the Decepticons have been defeated and Optimus Prime is busy declaring victory for his team. Suddenly a blast from above changes all of that, as we meet Shockwave for the first time and you realise this isn't going to be a happy ending at all! This may not be the most graphic entry on this list, but it was still pretty shocking in its own right.
Artwork credit: Springer / Esposito / Yomtov
#3: Unicron kills everyone
On the Edge of Extinction (UK #319-322, US #75)
Stories involving Unicron tend to include a fair amount of carnage, but On the Edge of Extinction gives the 1986 movie a run for its money in terms of how many characters meet their maker come the end. The whole thing is packed with shocking moments, starting with the usually calm and collected Brainstorm being rendered senseless with terror before being impaled and eaten.
Then comes the story's biggest surprise as Unicron swiftly destroys the Transformers' creator, Primus, with a mere blast of his eye lasers. Despite years of build-up to this moment, Primus proved to be no match for the Chaos Bringer, leaving the Autobots and Decepticons scrambling in their battle to survive.
However, it's Scorponok's death that packs the biggest punch here, as the Decepticon leader completes his character arc and sacrifices himself in battle. He's left melting to death on the battlefield but finds a small moment of reassurance from his unlikely ally, Optimus Prime, before he goes. This remains one of the most memorable moments of the entire comic run.
Artwork credit: Senior / Yomtov
#2: Optimus Prime is… still alive!
Still Life (UK #323, US #76)
Following hot on the heels of the previous story, Optimus Prime (yes, him again!) has sacrificed himself to defeat Unicron and save Cybertron. Except, wait! The biggest shock here is that he's not dead! Or maybe it's just that he's been left in a state worse than death for a few final agonising moments before finally shutting down anyway. This guy cannot catch a break.
Artwork credit: Wildman / Baskerville / Yomtov
#1: Galvatron loses half his face… before being destroyed by the time storm
Time Wars (UK #203/205)
Yes, it's another Time Wars entry! There was no way the UK epic wasn't going to earn itself a second spot on this list, and this time it's Galvatron's turn to have horrible things happening to him. First we have that moment half his face shot off, which definitely cannot be unseen.
Artwork credit: Reed / Peters
Then we have the peak of the story, when the storm caused by his own time travelling finally catches up with him, and Galvatron is torn apart piece-by-piece. It's quite the gruesome end for a character that had become such a mainstay of the UK comics, and was both equally fitting and shocking.
Artwork credit: Sullivan / Peters
So, that's our list! Do you agree with our choices? Let us know if not and of course feel free to suggest your own!

There are many second generation stars in the entertainment circle, but it is said that only Li Xiang's daughter, Wang Shiling, has successfully entered the upper life circle. Li Xiang has invested a lot in her daughter's education since she was a child. Apart from the regular subjects taught in pure English, Wang Shiling's noble school has such elegant subjects as equestrian, cello, chess and oil painting.
Because grandpa is a painter, Wang Shiling is influenced by him, and his painting skills have been improved. A picture of peacocks she drew was bought for 100000 yuan.
At a young age, you can have such artistic strength. Maybe you can break into the upper class circle with such qualification, which is also very famous.
After all, in many TV dramas, those who are sitting in auction houses competing for classical paintings are all of great value and taste.
However, for the enjoyment of art, there is no class division. Even ordinary people can feel the healing power of painting in a beautiful painting in an economical way.
This way: reading.

Price: 128 yuan. The cover of the radio is Gustav Klimt's famous painting.

DIY Radio was an idea I had back in 2014. I used promote local shows in Northern NJ & Providence, RI. Over the years I've collected demos, cd's & mp3 from bands that I booked. I had come to realize I had enough material to carry a weekly show on Area 24 Radio in Garnerville, NY. So I continue to collect music by going to local shows, meeting people in person, even buying music directly from the bands themselves. I had guests hang out & perform live in studio such as The Foxfires, Strange Bird, Scary Hours, Pioneer The Eel & More. Now in the Fall of 2019 on the 5 Year Annerversary, DIY Radio Joins the Line up on WFDU HD2 to bring you a mix of Indie, Post punk & unknownAlternative from Local, Unsigned, or just unknown to you.
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Latest from WFDU General Manager, Kenny O'Boyle
Hello everyone!
I hope you and your loved ones are safe, healthy and managing okay during these unprecedented times.
I wanted to give you all an update, but unfortunately there is not much to update you on. The question I get more than any other from our staff and listeners is, "When will WFDU be able to resume normal, live programming?" Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to this question. Logically, I would have to assume that WFDU Staff will not be allowed back inside the station until the government stay at home restrictions are lifted. Who knows when that will be? Even when those restrictions are lifted, it's still ultimately up to the university.
What can we do and what are we doing?
We are now accepting new material and recordings of past shows for our programs on HD2 and will begin airing those ASAP
I speak on behalf of the entire staff and I'm sure many of you too when I say we all can't wait to return to normal. We all miss doing our shows and most of all, interacting with you! Please be patient. We all have to be.
I very much appreciate all of the listeners that have reached out via email, phone or Facebook. Overwhelmingly, the messages are positive and appreciative that WFDU is still on the air even in this limited capacity. It warms my heart to hear that WFDU can be a source of comfort during all of this.
If you would like to reach out with any comments, questions or concerns, please do.
Phone: 201-692-2806 (Leave a message)

Keep listening and thanks for supporting WFDU!

UIC Alumni Zhong Zhihao and Hu Ying first met back in 2013 at UIC during the English Enhancement Programme (EPP). They were sitting close to each other and when the teacher asked everyone to find someone to introduce themselves to, Zhihao and Ying ended up not just introducing themselves but beginning a long term friendship that has been going strong ever since. To this day they send postcards to each other from around the world with inspiring words and introductions to the places that they are at.
(from left) Zhong Zhihao and Hu Ying
When they graduated in 2017 from the International Journalism (IJ) programme, they took different paths but have, however, maintained their friendship. Ying described Zhihao as a person not only constantly asking how we can change things, make things better and make a difference, but also as a person who tries to actually implement his plans, so she was not surprised that Zhihao decided to join the Teach for China Programme to teach kids in China's less developed areas. Zhihao has said that neither he nor Ying would have foreseen six years later that they would still be close friends encouraging each other even if they were not in the same country. Zhihao and Ying were also the editors of the International Journalism Programme Yearbook.
Ying and Zhihao at their graduation in 2017
Below are their stories of what they have done since graduating, what skills they have acquired at UIC, as well as how they are using these skills in their daily life.
Zhong Zhihao
My name is Zhong Zhihao and I obtained my BA degree in International Journalism in 2017. I am graduating again from Teach for China, a two-year teaching programme in China's less developed areas. For the next two years, I will be a Master of Public Policy candidate at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, Germany.
Zhihao with three of his colleagues
During the study of IJ's Year-Three course 'Gender, Identity and the Media' instructed by Division of Humanities & Social Sciences (DHSS) Assistant Professor, Ms Kim Johnson, I became aware of gender stereotypes around me and thought about how we could improve the situation, and I thought the solution could be through education. Therefore, educating kids at an early age with an emphasis on gender equality may help them form their values, which can influence them for the rest of their lives.
Making such a decision to become a teacher was completely different and a little difficult compared with nearly everyone else back then. The thought was actually initiated by my best friend Shi Xiaoying who was also an IJ graduate of the 2017 class. She had been dedicating herself to public services and introduced me this teaching programme. Pondering over all challenges I might have, I decided to join the program with plenty of support from my friends, parents and professors. DHSS Associate Professor, Dr Edgar Yuen, who was then the IJ Programme Director, inspired me greatly as he devotes himself to public services as well.
Zhihao with his students
During these past two years, I saw for the first time a very different Guangdong province. I was based in Dadong, Dabu, Meizhou City, which are located in Guangdong's northwestern region. The mountainous area has many tunnels throughout the expressway. Topographic disadvantages restrict the town's economic development and also education, and that was the reason we came.
Zhihao found his passion with 'Teach for China'
I had to get familiar with the surroundings and know more about my colleagues and students. I then began to talk to everyone I met. When our conversations went deeper, I could sense that there may be some sensitive information that the person I talked to was unwilling to reveal. It was usually about their family, domestic violence, divorce and illness, etc. Unwillingness to tell these stories is understandable because I was still a stranger to them. However, I was able to establish trust between me and my colleagues, my students and their guardians with sincerity and very importantly the journalistic skills I acquired in IJ. The interview skills allowed me to discern if the person was telling the truth. If not, I could always ask for other information based on logical reasoning to decide the truth of that person's words. If this was not enough, another source of information from neighbours etc. also helps complete the story accurately.
Zhihao really enjoys the interaction that he has with his students
For their very last class, I reminded them how special and brave they are to be able to question the words I said to them as their teacher. Students tend to trust their teachers unconditionally and change answers when they are asked the same question more than twice. I am glad my students can try to question authorities at this early age. I hope they adopt critical thinking, believe more in themselves and make up their mind based on logical reasoning, just like the way I was trained at UIC.
I had regrets but feel content. There is so much more I could have done if given more time, but if I had limitless time doing something, I might never have started it.
Hu Ying
My name is Hu Ying and I graduated from UIC with a first-class BA degree in International Journalism (IJ) in 2017. After my experience at UIC, I went on to pursue an MSc in Global Governance and Ethics at University College London and completed an internship at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Geneva, Switzerland.
Hu Ying
I'm currently working as an intern at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)'s Headquarters in Geneva, with the support of the Chinese Scholarship Council. My UIC experience has given me two valuable things: the confidence to speak up; and the aspiration to make a difference.
The confidence to speak up comes from UIC's language teaching environment and the encouragement for students to use critical thinking and express their ideas. In addition to the immersive English environment, UIC provides a wide range of language courses, including French, German and Spanish.
I had the privilege to study two semesters of German and one semester of French. I also went to Lille, France, for a one-semester exchange programme and completed a journalism internship in Paris afterwards.
The language skills I gained not only enhanced my cultural awareness but also became one of my core competencies for applying to international organisations. Therefore, I am truly grateful to my language instructors, Director of International Development Office (IDO) Dr Katharina Yu, DHSS Senior Lecturer Sophie Dubios-Pepin and DHSS Lecturer Mr Helmut Warmenhoven for their dedication in guiding and inspiring me.
Meanwhile, independent and critical thinking is highly encouraged at UIC, especially in the IJ programme. The small class sizes and friendly relationships between professors and students also creates a relaxing environment for everyone to exchange ideas and thoughts.
My current work at UNHCR requires me to provide analysis of situations that might deteriorate and cause displacement crisis. The fact-checking skills I gained from IJ helped me decide what information is credible from a wide range of sources, while the critical thinking skills helped me write an unbiased and comprehensive analysis.
Ying in front of the United Nations Office in Geneva
I am also confident and comfortable to share my analysis with colleagues and listen to their opinions. I wish to thank my IJ professors, DHSS Associate Professor Dr Edgar Yuen and DHSS Assistant Ms Kim Johnson for showing me impeccable professionalism and encouraging me to think critically and speak up.
The aspiration to make a difference comes from UIC's Whole-person education philosophy and the atmosphere on campus to contribute and make changes. In addition to the academic curriculum, UIC has many unique courses such as Emotional Intelligence, Voluntary Service, and Experimental Development Programme (EDP).
Ying in front of UCL's department of political science with her dissertation
Student organisations that aim to help others are also extremely common and popular at UIC. The atmosphere at UIC encourages students to step out of their own comfort zone and help people in need. It's difficult not to develop a strong empathy to care about others in such an environment.
I also met many inspiring and talented people at UIC. Among them, Zhong Zhihao is one of the most passionate, proactive and caring people I have ever known. I met Zhihao on the first day of my freshman year. We were sitting close to each other when the teacher asked everyone to find someone to introduce themselves. Zhihao likes to take action and make things happen. For the six years, I've known him, he is not only constantly asking how we can change things, make things better and make a difference, but also trying to actually implement his plans. Therefore, I was not surprised at all when Zhihao decided to join the Teach for China Programme to teach kids in China's less developed areas. Zhihao also invited his friends to participate in his innovative initiatives during his two-year teaching programme. We sent postcards from around the world with inspiring words and an introduction to the country and to the village where he's teaching.
Ying along with Zhihao and other friends at IJ's farewell party
My current job involves reading many reports of violence and murder. It is empathy that reminds me that what I read is not just figures and numbers, but actual human suffering. It is the aspiration to make a difference that keeps me motivated and determined to devote myself. I am glad my UIC experience has truly equipped me with the skills and aspirations that are needed in my current and future endeavours.

Baidu picks Microsoft for English search [China]
China's Baidu is to partner with Microsoft for English-language search…The tie-up will direct English searches from Baidu to Microsoft's Bing, which will deliver the results back to Baidu's Web pages…Bing…filters out results in China relating to controversial subjects, such as political dissidents, Taiwan or pornography, to be able to operate in the country…Baidu spokesman Kaiser Kuo said Bing was not submitting to any further censorship or restrictions on its English search as a result of the deal "than they already do." Microsoft had no immediate comment beyond confirming the partnership..."Google has potentially shot itself in the foot when it comes to cooperations in the Chinese market," said Daniel Knapp, analyst at...Screen Digest. "Chinese local players like Baidu would be very wary about striking up a relationship with Google, a rogue authority in the eyes of the Chinese authorities. Microsoft has always been very diffident -- for Baidu it's much safer," he added.

Cloning of a novel cell type from human fetal liver expressing cytoplasmic CD3 delta and epsilon but not membrane CD3.
Journal Article
Seventeen-week human fetal liver cells cultured with a feeder cell mixture of irradiated PBL, irradiated JY cells (an EBV-transformed B cell line) and PHA contained a subpopulation of CD3- cells in addition to a major population of T cells with the mature phenotype. After 12 days in culture, CD3- CD16- cells were sorted and cloned by limiting dilution. Two representative clones, FL121 and FL125, were expanded and characterized. They shared the phenotype of CD2+CD3-CD4-CD5-CD6+CD16-CD56+. FL121 did not express CD8 whereas FL125 expressed CD8 alpha but not CD8 beta. Both clones were found to express cytoplasmic CD3 delta and CD3 epsilon Ag while CD3- NK clones isolated from PBL were negative for them. These results indicate that FL121 and FL125 were committed to the T-cell lineage. Southern blot analysis showed that the TCR beta genes and the TCR gamma genes of these clones were in the germ-line configuration. The establishment of FL121 and FL125 may provide a novel insight into the earliest stage of T-cell development in man.

Spray tips are the smallest and most overlooked components of a sprayer. Drift control spray tips use air induction to produce air filled droplets, which dramatically reduce drift compared to conventional tips. Here are the benefits:
- Reduce off target spray. Your neighbors don't want your ag chemicals on their property.
- Improve efficacy. It is estimated that 30% of conventionally sprayed droplets drift off target, land on the ground, or evaporate (leaving the active ingredient inert). Reduce that drift to 2% and achieve better results.
- Improve coverage. Air filled droplets stick to their target while conventional droplets may bounce off. When the air bubbles break the surface tension of the droplet, the spray material becomes more dispersed on the target.
- Improve spray quality. The chemical label shows a droplet size category, which can vary from extremely fine to ultra coarse, at which the product must be applied for optimum results. Air induction tips produce more consistent droplet diameters than conventional tips.
- Save money. With improved efficacy and coverage you may require less chemical and less water to finish the job. With improved efficacy and coverage likely you will only need to spray once, saving money and time.
- Be environmentally responsible. Keep herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers confined to their targets and out of drinking water supplies and the aquifer.
Before you buy any spray tips, it is also important to know:
- Your spray technique: broadcast or banding
- Sprayer speed (in mph)
- Tip spacing (20 inches, etc.)
- Application rate (from chemical label)
- Spray tip flow rate (GPA or GPM)
- Spray pattern: flat fan or cone
- Spray quality (fine, medium, coarse, etc. from chemical label)
Armed with this information, use the Hypro SprayIT Calculator to select drift reduction tips. Hypro has designed this online calculator to make it easy to select the proper spray tip for your application. Given the information we just covered, all you need to do is select the type of application and input your specific application data and the calculator with do the rest.
