Why public relations is important for manufacturing businesses Poorly coordinated or missing public relations can have dire consequences for your credibility in your industry niche.
In order for manufacturing companies to maintain their competitive advantage and ensure the sustainability of their business goals, they need to ensure that they appeal to both the public sector (in order to retain their current clients) while at the same time lure in prospective customers. However, manufacturing companies often don’t do a fantastic job of creating awareness of the products and solutions they offer to the general public. You may notice that whenever you visit a manufacturing company’s website, unless it is regularly maintained by their media department, you won’t be able to see an updated press release web page showcasing trade media information and news related to the…

How our caveman instincts explain why we play video games Video games are fun - that’s a given. But here's what makes them fun.
As I was playing Threes on my mobile phone the other day, it occurred to me that there’s something intrinsically satisfying about tidying up in video games. Taking a messy screen full of numbers and shuffling them neatly into one big number is not only addictive, it taps into a strong desire to put everything in order. The same feeling pops up when clearing the screen in Tetris or mopping up all of those pesky flags in Assassin’s Creed. But where does this desire to tidy up come from? And what function does it serve? “It makes total sense,” says Phil Robinson, director and curator of the Museum of Games…

11 obscure kung fu movies you need to watch For every big-budget martial arts spectacular, there were dozens of cheaper films. But these are just as good as the hits.
Any kung fu appreciator is familiar with its big names – Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, et cetera. They’re sort of like the Stallone and Schwarzenegger of Hong Kong action cinema. But for every big-budget martial arts spectacular, there are dozens of cheaper films that also hit the market. But these movies aren’t disposable, and in fact, many of them are just as good as the hits. Delving into martial arts cinema as a newbie can be pretty difficult. Entry points are few and far between, and once you’ve worked through the all-time classics, it’s easy to get lost in B material. That’s why we put together this list…

8 insane Tumblr moments that went down in history Tumblr was a hotbed of weirdos and insanity. Let's look at the stuff that made even its own userbase go WTF.
It was always hard to define exactly what Tumblr was. You could write blogs on there, but it wasn’t really good for blogging. You could link up with other people like a social network, but it wasn’t really that either. It was — and is, I guess, although the latest news about the platform banning adult content seems like a nail in the coffin — something truly unique. Tumblr was founded by David Karp in 2007 as a method for people to post “tumblelogs” — essentially short-form blogs — featuring links, short paragraphs and a stream of consciousness style. It rapidly grew a wild and fractious user base, split into…

10 of the most useless superpowers ever created Canonical, and downright silly.
Love them because they’re fantastical, or hate them because they’re often corny and don’t help push the narrative along a logical path, superpowers are more popular than ever. No longer sitting in the back row to other forms of hero stories, superhero movies are at the forefront of Hollywood. There are multiple superhero-based MMOs, and television has been dipping into the super-powered formula for quite a while now. What we don’t normally see, though, are superpowers that are downright silly. We rarely have (worthwhile) super-powered comedies, so it’s a little tough to see ridiculous powers that are canonical to a story. They exist — don’t you worry — and we’ve…

5 options to consider when looking for off-campus housing A big decision that can affect your academic performance as well as your social and life development in all kinds of ways.
How do you choose the right housing for your particular needs as a student? It’s a decision that can affect your academic performance and it’s also going to impact your social and life development in all kinds of ways. Each student has their own needs and circumstances. For some, the final rental price is important and they are mainly interested in the financial side of housing. For example, it’s common for universities to offer off-campus accommodation they have procured through deals with real estate agencies, but these options are often above the financial capabilities of the average student. Others are more lucky and are mainly interested in where they will…
