Steelcase today launches Gesture, a new sitting experience, designed in response to the company’s latest research about changing postures in the workplace. The global study reveals how new technologies have led to nine new postures — not supported by current office chairs — which frequently cause pain and long-term injuries, disrupting concentration and creativity. The Gesture chair was inspired by studying the movement of the human body and created for the ways people work today.

Last summer, Sierra Coulthard’s life changed forever.
She spent a week identifying her strengths and discovering who she was. She learned what it takes to be a leader and how leaders can change lives. And the Wisconsin high school student realized just how real and rampant poverty is in the world today.
“My eyes were opened to so many troubles in the world,“ she said. “I saw how real the needs of people are and I wanted to do something to help.”
Coulthard returned home and immediately connected with Nashville-based Soles4Souls, which since 2005 has secured more than 17 million new and gently used shoes for people throughout the world. The charity shipped her a large supply of new shoe boxes that she placed throughout her home town of Neillsville to encourage donations. Nearly 1,000 pairs of shoes were donated to the “Sierra’s Shoes” drive.
And last month, she was able to travel to Haiti and pass them out to deserving children who needed them.
Coulthard’s vision for the drive was developed at the National FFA Organization’s annual Washington Leadership Conference, which focuses on leadership development, personal growth and community service. More than 2,200 students – up to 340 a week – from throughout the U.S. who are FFA members will attend one of the conference’s seven week-long sessions in June and July.

Girl: I\\\'ve been wondering… where do websites come from?
Mom: Hmm. Well, when two people are in love with each other, they want to express their love in a way that everyone can see. And that\\\'s when they make a website.
Girl: But how do they do it?
Dad: We wanted to save this talk for when you were older, but since you\\\'re asking… When a mom and dad know they want to create a new baby website, they put the kids to bed early, turn off all the lights… and log onto FreeWebsite.com.
Mom: Yes, then they just decide what kind of website they want and they\\\'re done! The stork will bring the new-born website within 48 hours.
Girl: Oh, now I understand! Is that how babies are made too?

Rafa Nadal is being taught how to play poker and PokerStars has filmed him learning a vital poker skill – the bluff – in a unique and unusual way. Rafa spends a few hours working at the reception desk of a golf club in Majorca, serving surprised customers throughout the day – as one of the most famous sportspeople in the world, people understandably recognise him. When he’s asked if he’s Rafa Nadal he tries to bluff them and convince them that he’s not. The clip is filmed in a ‘hidden camera’ style.

National blood stocks have fallen by 7% over the jubilee weekend according to latest figures from NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) which today launches its annual awareness campaign, National Blood Week, to urge the public to donate blood.
During the National Blood Week recruitment drive additional appointments have been created and selected blood donor sessions have extended opening hours to give donors more flexibility to schedule a visit. Regional recruitment events will also be driving awareness and enabling people to sign up.
To launch the 2012 National Blood Week, Made In Chelsea’s Rosie Fortescue has rolled her sleeves up to recreate the heroic ‘Rosie the Riveter’ WWII poster and issue a rallying cry for new and existing blood donors to come forward. Rosie Fortescue, who shares her name with the 1940s poster girl, said: “This woman clearly knew how to get things done, and I feel honoured to become a modern day campaigner for the national blood stock build. Blood supplies are vital to the health service and every unit of blood can save or improve the lives of up to three people.”
