Sterilized Wraps– Wash and bleach a white sheet. Cut it in strips about 8 inches wide. I do width wise, but can be done length wise also. Take one end and roll it up one at a time. Wrap individually with brown paper (grocery bag) and put tape or a rubber band on it to keep it sealed. Line up on cookie sheet and bake at 225 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove and place in zip lock bags. I keep so in my car kit for emergencies as well as in my first aid kit.
Sterilized Dressings – Remember a dressing is sterile; a bandage is not. Soak clean cloth in a bleach solution (1/10) or hydrogen peroxide solution (50/50). Dry well. Wrap with foil or paper, label, and line up on a cookie sheet and place in oven at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, let them cool and put them in zip lock bags. Place some in your car kit as well as in your first aid kit at home.

Schiavo: The readers vent
Salon readers express outrage at this "appalling" and "grotesque" case of "political opportunism" -- with a few dissenters.
March 23, 2005 12:31AM (UTC)
[Read "The Panderers," by Alan Wolfe, "This Has Nothing to Do With the Sanctity of Life," by Andrew Leonard, and "When Public Opinion Doesn't Matter," by Eric Boehlert.]
II Corinthians 5:8 -- We are confident, yes, well, pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
As a pro-life (antiabortion and anti-death penalty) Christian who is not a member of the religious right and as a person whose own mother has recently suffered serious neurological injury, I find this case completely appalling. The president and Congress have drastically overstepped the constitutional limits placed upon the executive and legislative branches of government. The party of "states' rights" has desecrated the principles of federalism and the sanctity of marriage. Mrs. Schiavo made her wishes clear to her husband. Those wishes were verified by her best friend and confirmed in the courts of the state of Florida. Contrary to the so-called conservative view, keeping someone alive via artificial means (and yes, a feeding tube is artificial life support) against their will is not biblically accurate.
For Christians like Mrs. Schiavo, death is not to be feared. The people who have compared this case to "starving a dog to death" are completely ignorant of medical, legal and religious facts. I have had a relative die as a result of a prior refusal to be on a feeding tube. I can assure you it was not the horrific scene that Tom DeLay and Bill Frist have fallaciously propagandized. Every year, hundreds of thousands of religious people have DNRs, reject certain medical procedures, and make living wills prohibiting life support because they would prefer to have eternal life in heaven rather than suffer needlessly on earth.
My mother has reiterated her request to not be kept alive via artificial means for an extended period of time. If that event arises, my family, unlike Mrs. Schiavo's parents, will unselfishly honor her wishes and let her peacefully go to the Lord.
-- Jason Rowe
I've been having a difficult time getting anything done for the past few days. Every time I turn on the television or radio, I hear something about the Terri Schiavo case and the political posturing surrounding her case, and get so angry that I can't think of anything else.
Let me tell you about my experience with the effects of the right-to-life crusade on my family. In 2001, my mother was in a nursing home in our town and in the final stages of Alzheimer's disease. She was also confined to a wheelchair due to the effects of severe arthritis and a previously broken hip. One night she managed to disconnect the restraints and alarms that were used to keep her in bed and she attempted to walk to the bathroom. On the way, she fell and broke her other hip.
She was immediately transferred to the hospital and underwent surgery to repair the broken hip the following day. The surgeon was able to repair the hip by replacing it with an artificial joint, but the pain continued. When she recovered from the effects of the surgical anesthetic, she began screaming in agony. Various painkillers were administered, but none of them were capable of reducing the pain at normal doses.
I tried to get her doctors to give her enough painkiller to make her comfortable, but none were willing to give her a dose of sufficient strength to relieve the pain. Apparently, a larger dose might kill her if it didn't relieve the pain and none of the doctors were willing to leave themselves open to a charge of practicing euthanasia. Even though her situation was hopeless and the Alzheimer's would probably kill her within a few weeks or months, the right-to-life zealots have the medical profession so cowed that they can't do what's best for the patient.
As a result, my mother lay in bed and screamed in agony for a week until she was so exhausted that she could die. I find it really hard to believe that my mother would have found it worth suffering the week of agony just to keep from offending the sensibilities of the religious right. I wish the "compassionate conservatives" could muster up enough compassion to consider the suffering of others.
-- John Buyok
If you would compare my level of faith to the median level of faith in the country, I would probably be considered a conservative, for the simple fact that I believe in the virgin birth and the Resurrection, and I believe that the Bible is the Word of God.
However, I am simply appalled at the way people who claim to have my kind of faith are acting. The one thing that we as Christians are assured of is a life that surpasses our physical bodies. I haven't heard anybody who claims to be representing Christian beliefs ask whether or not Terri Schiavo believed that Jesus Christ died for her, or whether or not when her physical body does stop, if she will be in Heaven with the body she apparently longed for on earth.
I was just going to state that "If someone I loved were in Ms. Schiavo's condition ..." I can't make that statement. I've never had to watch someone I love die. I do hope, though, that the people that love me would understand, if I were in Ms. Schiavo's condition ...
I can't say that, either. My longing to be in Heaven wouldn't be any stronger than it is now.
My belief system says that God puts us here on earth for a purpose. While we are praying for Ms. Schiavo, her husband and her family, let's pray that her purpose can be seen.
The president and Congress can say and do whatever they want, I suppose. I just wish they wouldn't use Jesus to back themselves up.
-- Deb Howard
I was unhappy with Eric Boehlert's tack in his editorial, "When Public Opinion Doesn't Matter." While the point he was making -- that the political interest in the case does not reflect the public will -- was a good one, the approach also gave the impression that public opinion should have been a factor in deciding Mrs. Schiavo's fate. It shouldn't. Only Mrs. Schiavo's own choice, which has been established to the satisfaction of the courts, mattered in this. I know Mr. Boehlert was not saying otherwise, but it was a bit too easy to misread (or even willfully misquote) his editorial.
-- Sophie Lagaci
I can't thank you enough for your coverage today of the Terri Schiavo case. I have been spluttering for days, in a rage about what political opportunists are doing to what's left of this poor woman, and I have found little in the mainstream print press that satisfies my need for intelligent articulation of the constitutional and ethical questions at hand. Your articles by Alan Wolfe and Eric Boehlert and your interview with the Rev. John Paris have helped articulate for me what I've only been able to fume about.
-- Maryann Gorman
This Republican Congress didn't just slide down that proverbial slippery slope with its actions in the Schiavo case, it jumped head-first -- and landed on the rights of all Americans. No matter where they stand on this complicated and emotional issue, all rational-thinking Americans have to be concerned.
Despite what Republican leaders say, a precedent has been set. Imagine a future where lawmakers are moved -- through personal feelings, pleas from generous donors or the desire for reelection -- to seek intervention in other court cases. Certain conservatives might not mind that now, but should look to a time when Congress will be controlled by Democrats. How would they feel if that Congress sought intervention when lawmakers didn't like a court ruling on, say, gun control or the death penalty?
In any event, the arrogance, hypocrisy and abusive political maneuverings of congressional Republicans and Mr. Bush have to be reined in. The Democrats have been unsuccessful so far. So, I'm praying for an intervention from on high.
-- Robin Johnston
While I agree in principle with Terri Schiavo's right to die, I think that we should be careful when trumpeting the virtues of law. According to classical philosophers, namely Plato and Aristotle, it is not always clear that written law can quite encompass the range of situations that exist in a human society. While there may be a right and wrong, the same law may not always be in the "right."
All I am saying is, tread lightly when invoking the majesty of law. It has been known to be wrong.
-- Justin Lacombe
I find myself disappointed in Salon's approach to the Schiavo case. How can all of your writers on this topic pretend that it doesn't raise terrifying issues on both sides of the political spectrum? As someone with solid liberal credentials who does support the right to die, here are the things that make me glad to have intervention in this case, even if it does come from the Christian right:
1. It worries me that decisions about life or death could come down to hearsay: based on a husband whose motivations might be questionable and a few reported comments, a court feels that it can come to a conclusion about the preferences of someone who cannot express them.
2. Schiavo's parents claim she is responsive and can even communicate, while doctors claim these movements are purely reflexes. But surely the fact that Schiavo smiles, moves, grunts and breathes on her own raises important concerns about what it means to be alive. This is a debate worth having, a debate about disability and the definition of a "persistent vegetative state"; a debate, by the way, that is quite alive in medical circles. Surely Salon can give that debate a fair shake, instead of featuring only an article claiming that "This has nothing to do with the sanctity of life."
The view that in the absence of a living will, it is best to continue life support, seems like a position that a reasonable person might hold. It is not exclusively the domain of rabid evangelicals. It worries me that Salon and the liberal left continue to portray this as a right-to-die issue, and bring up the demonic specter of the Christian right to create panic among us pro-choice liberals. Let us not overlook that protection for Schiavo is also protection for ourselves: protection from having anyone other than individuals themselves -- even their spouses -- make decisions about whether they are fit to live.
-- Irene Perciali
Thank you, Alan Wolfe and Salon! Just yesterday I was engaged in a heated argument with co-workers while discussing the Terri Schiavo case. I was trying (unsuccessfully) to make the case that Mr. Wolfe so eloquently made in his piece, "The Panderers," but all I succeeded in doing was to get angry at most of my friends, who have been blinded by the politics at play in this story.
Mr. Wolfe's piece intelligently frames the issue as it should be framed -- in terms of America's tradition of liberty, not in terms of a blitzkrieg to the moral high ground as the Republicans want it to be viewed.
-- Rob Kerr
The irony in all of this is that "Schiavo" (pronounced Skee-Ah-Voh, it irritates the hell out of me to constantly hear it mispronounced) means "slave" in Italian. Read whatever you would like into that.
-- Lisa Vara
It strikes me as oddly peculiar during this grotesque, Republican-led exploitation of Terri Schiavo that no one is paying attention the following issues:
The efforts to keep Mrs. Schiavo alive constitute a filibuster. In Washington, these efforts are being orchestrated by the very opponents of the filibuster's use in Congress.
Mrs. Schiavo's condition was brought about by her bulimia. As she was consciously abusing herself, none of those fanatically intent on her survival offered to help with her condition.
The Bible states that the husband is lord over the wife. I've yet to hear any Christians involved in this matter point that out.
-- Pat Gallagher
I live in Florida, and so have been forced to watch the ruthless tug-of-war over Terry Schiavo's future, which of course has less to do at this point with "justice" or "the culture of life" than with political grandstanding on the part of the Christian right and Congress. Having lost a loved one after a long, painful and humiliating illness, I feel special empathy for both Michael Schiavo and Terri's parents, the Schindlers. They are each faced with a horrific circumstance, and it's a pity that they couldn't settle it privately.
That said, I think it's fair to compare Terri Schiavo's circumstance to that of another woman whose life was placed in the hands of the American legal and political system: Karla Faye Tucker, who was sentenced to death in Texas, and whose execution was ordered -- against the protests of anti-death penalty lobbies that included numerous Christian right organizations -- by the former governor of Texas, one George W. Bush.
Ms. Tucker should be familiar to Salon readers: a convicted murderer whose sentencing hinged largely on a recording made by her then-boyfriend and accomplice (who sold her out to save himself from the death penalty) in which she described the orgasmic pleasure of bludgeoning two people to death with a pickax, Karla Faye experienced an altogether convincing religious conversion to evangelical Christianity while on death row, and thus became a poster child for the possibility of grace, reform and mercy. Then-Gov. Bush refused to spare her life, citing his obligation to uphold the rule of law.
It may seem perverse to compare Terri Schiavo to a death row inmate, but the logic is sound. By committing murder, Ms. Tucker yielded control over her own destiny to the state.
Similarly, by signing her marriage certificate, Ms. Schiavo willingly entered into a contract under which her husband, not her parents, is explicitly entrusted with the sole power to make decisions about her life and medical care in the event that she became unable to express her own wishes
I grieve for the Schindlers, and I sympathize with their sorrow and their deep desire to hold on to hope. But it is Michael Schiavo's right, vindicated by countless doctors and medical ethicists and even the Supreme Court of our beloved backwater banana republic of Florida, to allow his wife's body to follow her brain to the great unknown. The law may be wrong in this case, but our public officials must uphold its rule, lest we abandon all pretense of blind justice or representative democracy.
-- Ed Tarkington
The sincerity of Schiavo's husband is in doubt regarding her wishes (which apparently she never repeated to anyone else), and she has parents who are willing to care for her, and are anxious to give her love and affection. It doesn't hurt anyone to err on the side of life, and give someone food and water.
Maybe then this Republican "humanity" can be extended to other parts of the world.
-- Tom Yesberger
Terri Schiavo has a right to life; we all do. But does the right to life include the right to live as an inhuman vegetable? Does it include the right to submit one's husband to the status of permanent caretaker, endless emotional pain and mile-high medical bills? Speaking of medical bills, do conservative Republicans who want people like Terri Schiavo kept alive also want the government -- meaning you and I -- to foot those bills? Republicans favor expanding the welfare state (e.g., Medicare) just as Democrats do; aren't they submitting this welfare state to even more economy-busting medical expenses than we already have in the name of -- what? Keeping the hopelessly ill and barely alive breathing another few days or weeks?
The dangerous, ugly side of this whole issue is that it's not being treated as a borderline case, or as the unfortunate exception that it is. Instead, religious conservatives are trying to use it as an example of how any kind of life is life, no matter how partial, or tenuous or barely hanging on that life might be. They know that if they can impose force on the living to keep alive the barely living, they can likewise impose force on the living to bring into existence unwanted potential lives. Their view of life is not rational; it's religious. When they say that this country is founded not on reason, but on faith, they mean it.

Former Boeing Chairman Platt Dies at 64
The Seattle Times, September 9 – 10, 2005
Lewis "Lew" Platt, a director and former chairman of Boeing who also served as chief executive at Hewlett-Packard in the 1990s, died in early September at the age of 64. Mr. Platt, who joined the Boeing board in 1999, was thrust into a visible role at the company as it worked to overcome ethical lapses. He became non-executive chairman when then CEO Phil Condit abruptly resigned in December 2003 amid defense-contracting scandals that ultimately sent two executives to jail.
Harry Stonecipher, Boeing's retired president, was brought back as CEO, to restore Boeing's image. But Platt's efforts to restore order at the company were dealt a setback in March when Stonecipher resigned after admitting an affair with a female Boeing executive. Platt served as non-executive chairman until W. James McNerney was appointed chairman and CEO in June. McNerney stated, "Lew shepherded Boeing with strength, grace, dignity, and integrity through a period when the company most needed his steady hand."
Platt worked for HP for 33 years, starting as an entry-level employee in the company's medical products group in 1966. Shortly after his appointment as CEO in 1992, he succeeded David Packard as HP's chairman, serving until he left the company in 1999. Mark Hurd, HP's current president and CEO stated, "Lew cared deeply for HP and its people, and his loss is being felt widely across our company. He was a natural leader who was enormously well liked and made an enduring impression on those he encountered."
Comment: In recent times in our nation we have heard of a number of CEOs who have abused their positions with corruption. It's refreshing to hear the accolades accredited to Lew Platt of being a natural leader with strength, grace, dignity, and integrity. Lew has truly left an enduring impression on those he encountered. We need more Lew Platts. Platt was featured in the Ethix Conversation shortly after leaving HP in Ethix 10, April 2000.
Vinton Cerf Joins Google
The Seattle Times, from Knight Ridder Newspapers and The Wall Street Journal, September 9, 2005
Adding to its all-star roster of engineering talent, Google has hired Vinton Cerf, often referred to as the Father of the Internet. Cerf, who was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Clinton in 1997, joins Google from MCI, where he is a senior vice president of technology strategy. Google said that Cerf will become a vice president and "chief Internet evangelist."
Cerf begins work at Google in October along with his chief of staff from MCI. Cerf's focus at MCI has been on public-policy issues. He said he hungers to return to developing applications. He rattled off a list of "half-baked ideas," including being able to index information based on geography, improving the relevance of search results and building sophisticated applications related to voice communications on the Internet.
Comment: Cerf joining Google will likely fuel speculation that the company is planning to build its own worldwide broadband network, possibly resulting in a free WiFi service. He was featured in the Ethix Conversation in September/October 2005.
Relaxed ID Rules Could Invite Financial Fraud
USA Today, September 28, 2005
After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, banks are walking a tenuous line between getting money quickly to people who have no identification and not falling prey to fraud. Bank and credit union regulators have asked financial institutions to waive fees and loosen rules on verifying customers. Their goal is to help hurricane victims who fled their homes with no bank card or driver's license.
A real concern is that relaxing rules could entice artists to try cashing fraudulent checks and enhance identity theft (see News Notables on identity theft in the most recent Ethix issue). The number of displaced people along with the huge number of checks entering the banking system, make conditions ripe for fraud.
Many banks are still grappling with immediate concern such as restoring operations and serving displaced customers. "The challenge is really down the line," says Doug Johnson, of the American Bankers Association. "At the moment, banks are just trying to do the right thing for customers."
Comment: This situation creates a Catch-22 for banking institutions effected in the South. At one end of the spectrum, it sounds great to help the hurricane victims, but on the other end, bank fraud and identity theft could run rampant. Obviously, some middle ground must be found.
From Prison to CEO
The Seattle Times, October 15, 2005
The founder of Fog Cutter Capital Group has been reappointed chairman and chief executive after his release from federal prison. After more than 14 months in federal custody, Andrew Wiederhorn returned to Portland this week and was immediately reappointed to the helm of the merchant banking company. Wiederhorn will be allowed to work at Fog Cutter during the day but must live at a halfway house until November 22. He went to prison for his role in the Capital Consultants scandal.
Comment: Here is one company that looks like it doesn't take ethics very seriously. It will be interesting to watch their progress in the marketplace.

The area of Qinghai Lake, China's largest salt lake, reached 4,432.69 square km during the dry season, an expansion of 7.31 square km compared with last year.
There is a clear sign of continuing long-term climate change caused by increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and these have been confirmed in 2015, 2016 and 2017, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said Thursday.
Not for the first time this summer, it has got hot in southeastern Australia.
Australia's two biggest cities could swelter through 50C days within a few decades, a study has found.
Sydney and Melbourne are likely to endure such summers even if global warming is contained to the Paris accord limit of a 2C rise above pre-industrial levels, scientists said.
The world's global seed bank, a hedge against ecological catastrophe, has been declared safe after floodwaters caused by warming temperatures gushed into the main entrance and threatened to destroy the contents of the facility.
One of the coldest areas in the world is getting greener, and researchers say it's because of global warming.
Stanford University climatologist Noah Diffenbaugh sees no contradiction in California, on the US West Coast, experiencing one of its wettest years on record right on the heels of a record-setting extended drought.
The World Meteorological Organization has confirmed that 2016 made history with a record global average temperature, exceptionally low sea ice, and ongoing increases in sea levels and ocean heat.
The record-breaking decline of the Arctic ice volumes registered by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is associated with the extremely warm summer in the Arctic region last year and ice forming one month later than usually, deputy director of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute Alexander Danilov said on Friday in a comment on the WMO release.

"The Reason Why I Have Never Been To Nigeria" - Rapper Wale Reveals
Super star rapper Wale in a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, revealed that the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn't really... you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to save up to go to Nigeria.
That wasn't what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're running around so much you don't even have time to see your own parents"

[ABSOLUTE WICKEDNESS] 'Go And Die'! - Gov Oshiomhole Tells A Crying Widow [VIDEO]
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State said to a poor widow "You're a widow, go and die!" during a sanitation exercise of Benin City with some state officials recently.
The act of Governor Adams Oshiomole which I can personally describe after watching the video as nothing but absolute wickedness, this should not have come from a whole state Governor. THIS IS UNFAIR!!
The woman was hawking on the road side which is illegal in the state but to tell her to go and die after she knelt in front of him, crying and begging him not to seize her little means of livelihood, is just cold-hearted. Watch the video after the cut..

The burial ceremony began with a wake keeping service on Sunday in GRA, while the funeral service held Monday morning at St John's Anglican Church in Lagos Island before he was finally laid to rest.

The church was full to the brim and the street still wasn't enough for sympathisers to stay. A lot of them came in black and were unable to control their tears as songs were rendered in his memory.
See a picture of the large crowd outside the church below.

Another round of Tinder answers. What questions you ask girls on Tinder? Well, one of "techniques" is to write my 2 questions. They mostly have the purpose to go into deeper conversations. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But if we are honest to each other… Who don't like a good conversation?!
You probably heard the podcast episode already if not I will link below. So my two favourite questions are "What is the sense of life" and "what is love"…. Sometimes I get funny answers, sometimes they are very short and shallow, but you barely hear the same thing twice. Spme questions I already posted in the first Tinder Answers blog. Feel free to check it out.
After a while you also can kind of categories people. I mean I don't ask them to answer the question to put them into a box right after, but it gives me a feeling of how much they think about those things. How much they are interested in the topic or how much effort they put into answering these questions. You all know that time is valuable and we tend to limit our energy to things we like.
1. Did she thought that throw?
Not easy to analyse. Did you wrote both answer? Do you realize something? Maybe it is me, but something doesn't fit. Still a interesting answers.
Never heard about Limitations of I talk about the sense of life. Also rare to find workaholics these days. What you think? Is hard working a important part of your life?
I thought there is coming more after "it is deep". I may never said that before… There is no right or wrong. It is maybe not even possible to find a common definition. Still, some people try hard to find a general definition. These questions are always subjective.
Sounds like she knows what she wants. I guess Travel, Food and Family are the things a lot of people desire. Sometimes I speculated about the order. Maybe during life the order change. Having nice food as a Teenager, going Traveling as a grown up and than get into the Family life.
This One-Word-Girls are annoying. For me a clear sign of getting to many matches. Doesn't take time at all for a person, but thats 21th century, right? If you hear that questions – would you shout out a one-word-answer? I bet not.
7. That was pretty good for a not speaking english!
Here we go – Find yourself! That could be one of the best slogans for backpacking tour companies. Just wondering now that nobody really using it?! People overvalue love… That was fascinating. Why? Didn't we sometimes tell ourselves not to take us so serious? Why putting love on a podest? Let it be..
The chance may be not high, but some guys still like to match with cartoons in Tinder. Yes, not just guys have fun profiles or troll around. You never know what is behind. Sometimes a catfish and sometimes you catch the lucky loser ticket.

July 2019 - Go2 Productions
Target Spherical Hologram
Our team came up with the concept to create the world's first spherical hologram and after a lot of R&D in our lab, it all came together even better than anyone could have imagined.
This incredible 10.5ft diameter structure was built to display 18.5 million pixels and was fabricated by our technical partners – RabCup Studios.
Besides the 360° holographic branded content that appears to float around the structure, we included a unique holographic selfie booth. Audio reactive RGB LED strip lighting was installed on every connecting side, to give an added depth of content and overall effect.
The holographic units were still in beta stages of production and required massive amounts of R&D from our artists and developers, and the manufacturer, HYPERVSN, to pull this off. None of what we produced was included in the manual.
The whole system made extensive use of the SDK and touch designer. All the control hardware was neatly packed inside the structure, accessible from the structure's base. Guests were invited to create 4 seconds of video adjacent to the dome, which later appeared on one of the holographic zones in full HD quality.
Our clients, Wasserman and Target, were both elated with the results and guests were amazed by the new technology and mesmerized by the overall effect. Everyone was taking part, having a blast and filming their 'on screen' moments.
Canadian Labor Conference 2017
The CLC holds a convention every three years, which is attended by delegates from local unions to present proposed resolutions to the floor. The 2017 conference was called #FairFuture and featured inspiring speakers from all over the world. Over 4000 people attended this 5-day event.
Our team created content for three ultra-wide screens: the two side screens were 48 x 16 feet and the main centre screen was 100 x 25 ft.
Go2 came on board to produce an entire themed conference package – included opening videos, logo and title animations, animated wallpapers, and closing videos.
The Animations
We made sure every piece of content was dynamic, on brand and memorable. When you need to make a great impact and leave a lasting impression on hundreds or even thousands of people at an event, then our corporate/conference events package is for you.
With our team calling the show behind the scenes, the conference was a huge success. We've created projection screens and content that spans over 200ft wide in massive ballrooms and arenas, using combinations of projection technology, huge LED walls, lighting design and live performances such as dancers and even circus professionals. Contact us to find out how we can help you make your next conference unforgettable.
WestJet Reveal
WestJet was about to announce some big news and Go2 stepped up to help make their event unforgettable. The event would announce a new livery design onto their newly acquired 787 Dreamliner planes. The planes would also feature a Business Class and newly redesigned modern cabin. Because the planes were not ready yet, WestJet was looking for a unique solution to be able to showcase this announcement at the AGM in May 2018 and to get the public and their staff excited for the new Dreamliners.
The Site Visit
WestJet wanted to express a new identity – one that they believed would enrich the passenger experience. The company was evolving their brand colours to a deeper, sophisticated palette, taking inspiration from the Canadian landscape.
Go2 focused on creating the content for a projection mapping experience that would allow us to explore the inside of the plane, and reveal the new livery design. We teamed up with Freeman Audio Visual to execute on the technical audio-visual setup and to help add additional lighting/show elements to complement the projected animation. WestJet wanted to communicate to the staff attending the event, where their inspiration was stemmed from and how that translated into the new sleek cabin and livery design.
The Execution
The event took place at midday – and the hangar doors had several windows along with several larger windows at the back of the hangar. The back windows had to be fully blacked out, and the hangar door windows had to be double layered with block out vinyl. And although we were able to get some 3D elements from the interior cabin, we had to build each class/cabin out from scratch utilizing supplied 3D elements.
The hangar doors themselves are built with four large panel doors, all on different levels, which allows the hangar to open and close. Because the full surface was on different plains, we had to add a projector for each individual panel to avoid any edge blend issues on site.
More than 1000 Westjetters and media personnel attended the thrilling reveal at Westjet's Calgary hangar that went off without a hitch and the event went live on Facebook so WestJet staff and customers could get in on the action.
In addition to the main projection mapping animation, our team created four brand story animations, which focused on: Stitching/Textiles, Architecture, Shapes and Color that conveyed where the inspiration for the aircraft design.

We think Spelling You See is the best spelling program out there. Just a smidgen of bias, maybe? Maybe, but it's based on solid educational research and follows the way people learn language. It has proven results with students from a range of ages and abilities. It's different, but it's not difficult. But we're willing to admit that it may not be for everyone. If you can strongly relate to any of the following statements, you might want to consider another choice.
If your idea of a spelling lesson is rote memorization of a list of twenty loosely-related words, presented out of context, that are written and regurgitated over and over in hopes of drumming them into long-term memory, then you will be disappointed.
Why? Because tests are a great measure of a student's short-term list memory, but not of whether they are imprinting the proper spelling of a word into long-term visual memory. Think of your grocery list from the week of April 27, 2005. You can't? That's because list memory is short term and is regularly overwritten like an old computer file. You'll know your student is learning when you see ongoing improvement in all of their written work and an increased number of correct words in dictation.
Fair enough, it doesn't. It also, therefore, doesn't need to spend all that time teaching all the exceptions to those "rules." English doesn't play nicely with spelling rules or phonics once you've moved beyond consonant-short vowel-consonant words, and some students can get extremely frustrated and discouraged by this: "Whaddya mean, it's wrong? I applied the rule!" As students progress through the program and are already strong in their skill development, they'll be introduced to appropriate rules in a natural progression.
Yes, but that's on purpose. Encoding (spelling and writing) and decoding (reading) are two very different processes. It's quite possible for a student to be an outstanding, advanced reader, but a terrible speller. We don't want students to struggle with decoding while they're focusing in on their spelling.
We admire your dedication, but there's a reason we advise you to set a timer and stop after ten minutes. That's about how long we can really focus on a task, especially when we're kids. So when the timer goes off, pencils down. Count the number of correct words. As your student gains more spelling fluency and confidence, this number will go up.
A cool fact about Spelling You See is that it can improve spelling fluency for most struggling spellers, regardless of reading level or age. Our short rhymes and passages are intended to be easy reading but are still remarkably effective at developing long-term visual memory of proper spelling. If you have a unique situation (and who doesn't?), feel free to contact a curriculum consultant in customer service or sales for a custom recommendation.
That's true. Research shows that repeated reading and repeated writing of passages cement proper spelling in visual memory. Have you ever written a word and thought, "That just doesn't look right…"? That's your visual memory at work. When students can close their eyes and "see" the proper spelling, that's what puts the "See" into "Spelling You See." Plus our passages include interesting, factual content that all ages can appreciate. They've even been known to spark an interest in new topics!
8) Students Don't Have to Correct Their Mistakes or Write Misspelled Words Ten Times or Anything!
When a word is spelled incorrectly in copywork, you'll ask the student to erase it and copy it or write it correctly. It's important to address misspellings immediately so that there's no time for that misspelling to get into long-term memory. If your level involves a second dictation, encourage your student to write a problem word several different ways and "see" which one looks right (hence the name "visual" memory). As for writing missed words multiple times, that just creates negativity in the student as it can be seen as a punishment. We want to keep learning positive and relaxed and as much fun as possible.
It really is, isn't it? It seems too simple to work. Each activity involved is developed to take no more than 10 minutes, since that's about how long our brains can pay attention to something. And we're serious about not wanting our students to be stressed out. Stress short-circuits learning. So we provide lists of letter chunks to be identified in each lesson, and we encourage you to provide as much help as needed during dictation (we'll provide direction on how to help appropriately, don't worry).
Yes and no; while keyboarding is clearly a valuable, necessary skill in today's world, it doesn't create the same neural pathways in the brain as writing by hand. This is the same reason we don't use letter tiles or games or apps. Putting pencil to paper and forming one letter at a time helps encode a word into long-term visual memory like no other method can.
But…but that's a good thing, right? Have you seen some of those other programs? Tests every day, list after list after neverending list, focusing solely on missed words and making kids feel like bad spellers…that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. A spelling program that works and doesn't involve any weeping or gnashing of teeth – what a breath of fresh air!
Mmmmmm…chocolate chunk ice cream…chocolate chunk brownies…chocolate chunk cookies…No? Seriously…no one else? Just me? Okay, then. Never mind.
We can't guarantee that we can change your mind and make you love Spelling You See. We just hope we've given you something to think about. Get in touch and ask us hard questions – we're up for the challenge, and you might decide to make a change that will put your child on the road to becoming a confident speller.
What happened to NUMBER ELEVEN???!!! There are only 11 reasons listed NOT 12! – CAN'T YOU COUNT!!! Seriously, I love your program on math – HUGE FAN – and this looks to be on par with that. Good Job as usual.
This program is amazing !!! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication !!! This program took two youngest from " I can't " to " I'm on it " . Grateful in every way for this program .
