Norm's wonderful imagination and creative talent has brought to life a colony of characters known as Tushies. These endearing creatures depict the beauty and richness of a multi-cultural society, as Tushies come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes.
Tushies portray a tenderness for family, camaraderie and community.
Definitely a book with the younger NCN reader in mind, but"Grown-ups" will adore it too.
Tushies reveal their happiness and their mishaps, but most importantly, they "bare" the treasure of a child's imagination. More >

Vigilant observers have pointed to the obvious winged sun disk design at the podium, which certainly semiotically links Barack to Horus (and to UFOs, if you subscribe to AAT).
All and all, Christopher Knowles is not quite sure what to make of it.

An introduction to the science and art of perception management.
The phrase "perception management" is filtering into common use as a synonym for "persuasion." Public relations firms now offer "perception management" as one of their services. Similarly, public officials who are being accused of shading the truth are now frequently charged with engaging in "perception management" when disseminating information to media or to the general public.
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems in many ways that do not concern military campaigns or government relations with citizenry. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.
Perception management is a term originated by the U. S. military. The U. S. Department of Defense (DOD) gives this definition:
Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations.
