I think it's interesting that Nepal, one of the world's smallest federations (and smallest outside of Europe), is bordered by china, the world's largest unitary state.

I never even thought of that. We're also bordered by the two of the, by far, most populous states in the world, like 3 billion people damn. 3 in 8 people in the world are our neighbours.

My most fascinating and enjoyable day of Creativity Works - and it involved numbers!? #XAXIS

By Lucrece Grehoua

If you know me, you know that Lucrece Grehoua is an artistic and hands on creative. My prerogative is to make colouful content and to spend my life exercising my creative juices.

Yet, when visiting trading company, Xaxis who combine artifical intelligence with data to opimitise media investments I began to reanalyse my whole entire life.

Xaxis is the world's largest global programmatic media platform. Essentially, they work with thousands of numbers and data to analyse what they can do best to bump up exposure and function of some of the world's biggest brands.

When I was younger, I did an International Baccalaureate and loved Maths. I was not the best, but I was always enthralled by the idea that I could have no knowledge of something, but by learning a formula and practicing it I would be able to come up with results and solve problems dealing with quantity, structure, space and change.

I always wanted to be a data analyst, but because my creative spark and passion for media overruled this, I never believed I could become a bright spark in this area if I did not subject myself to a long, grueling university degree course. As the years went by, working with numbers was just not something I saw myself doing due to the time I believed I lacked. In fact, after one point I thought I was too unintelligent to even look in that direction.

1. But here at Xaxis, the first thing I was fascinated by was learning that the data analysis and programming companies use artificial intelligence (AI) to number crunch. I always thought that since I did not have the patience to sit down and calculate heaps of numbers I could never even think of entering the industry. However we were told that with machines like Copilot, calculations would be done for us and all we would have to do is use our savvy, introspective and young, creative minds to then come up with cool strategies to help the companies we are working with get better.

2. We were able to meet figures within the company who revealed to us that none of them did any university courses that had anything to do with data analysis or numbers. Many of them simply had transferable skills such as project managment abilities to make creative campaigns once Copilot numbers were in, or people skills to be able to negotiate advertising prices with external brands. I was just inspired and amazed by the idea that I could use my every day skills to potentially be a part of this big company!

3. Their attitudes towards diversity were some of most genuine and thoughtful I had ever come across. Not only did they speak on the importance of diversity of culture, but also of gender and most importantly for me, diversity of general life. They understood that the world is changing drastically, and that due to the changes of societal responsibilties between our generations, millennials work best with flexible working hours and we also take our mental health extremely seriously and will not compromise it for stifled workplaces.

I absolutely loved my day at Xaxis, it was the most surprisingly fascinating day I had had in my 6 weeks of Creativity Works. I do not know how it would work with me wanting to be in news, digital media, the arts and all the other things I love, but at least I know that my teenage dream of working with numbers is actually closer to me than I had ever imagined.

We've been on the road for 38 days, took 26 meetings, hit 19 planet fitnesses, slept on 7 different couches or in the van in the parking lot of 25 different walmarts. We put 11,000 miles on our van, drove through 3 different time zones, and hit 2 scenic highways and 5 national parks as we made our way through exactly half of the 50 states with temperatures ranging from 9 to 90 degrees. And now we're heading 🔙 2 BROOKLYN!!!🏠 #ByTheNumbers |#NumberCrunching | #WhatToWear | #RoadWarriors | #RoadTrippin | #RoadLife (at United States)

2 years of Tabletop Games on Kickstarter | Fluff N' Crunch

The guys at Casual Game Revolution have been collecting and analysing data in the Tabletop section for the last two years (May 2014- May 2016). The result of their labour is this awesome infographic they made to share with the world. How are board games doing on kickstarter?
