![]() Did the message persuade people to follow its command, thus driving up sales? It’s hard to say. The games manufacturer claimed to be shocked at the revelation, with a misguided employee carrying the can, and the commercial was removed from airplay. Some sharp-sighted parents noticed something suspicious and filed complaints with the FCC. ![]() In a classic case of subliminal advertising from 1973, a TV commercial for the children’s memory game Husker Du, shown in the US and Canada, featured sub-visual cuts, with the phrase ‘Get it’ flashed no less than four times, for a frame each time, during its one-minute run time. Perhaps their spokespeople had been taking lessons from the McDonalds’s team. Watched in slow motion, the flashing images became apparent, though Konami declared they were due to a technical bug. The concerns were clear – even if the imagery was not: picked up subliminally, such signals could encourage people to keep throwing their money away for longer, spurred on by the subconscious feeling of winning. The games displayed a 5-of-a-kind jackpot symbol combination on screen for a fifth of a second as the reels started to spin on every go. In February 2007, a gambling operator in Canada pulled the plug on 87 Konami slot machines and removed them from the floor of Ontario’s casinos after an investigation uncovered subliminal trickery taking place before bleary-eyed players. How could such a thing occur accidentally? A McDonald’s spokesman said: “We don’t do subliminal advertising.” Sure, just an accidental glitch – a supersized one. What had audiences seen but barely been aware of – all but invisible to the naked eye? A McDonald’s logo that popped up for a single frame together with the hamburger giant’s slogan, ‘I’m lovin’ it.’ Following the revelation, accusations of subliminal advertising were met with claims that it was a “technical error” by the television network, but skeptics unsurprisingly weren’t convinced. On January 27 2007, viewers watching the Food Network’s Iron Chef America may have noticed a brief flash of red that appeared for a split second towards the end of a show when the challengers’ entries were being assessed and two men raised their glasses. Mischievous maybe, but still concealed imagery subliminally playing on the fact that sex sells. Apparently less insidious marketing strategy than a lascivious joke, the ad did nevertheless run before the fuss it provoked, and its illustration has also been found on other materials such as matchbooks and cocktail napkins. What’s being offered here? On the face of it, flooring – though the headline, ‘Laid By The Best,’ is revealed as a somewhat unsubtle sexual innuendo. Looks innocuous? Well flip the image upside down and crop the lady’s head and daintily held champagne glass, and it suddenly doesn’t look like her neck she’s touching but a more sensitive, exposed part of her anatomy. This ad appeared in Britain’s Yellow Pages but was pulled because of the suggestive content it contains. The matter was investigated by the FCC, but while the ad was taken off air, no penalties were imposed and Bush denied allegations of subliminal skullduggery. Gore and his party were associated with vermin. At such a speed, the bold lettering was scarcely perceptible except to the subconscious mind, but the implication was obvious. ![]() When the phrase ‘BUREAUCRATS DECIDE’ appeared just after Gore’s name was mentioned, the final fragment of the second word – ‘RATS’ – flashed up for a fraction of a second – one-thirtieth to be precise. A series of words flitted across the screen throughout, yet something smelled funny. Here are ten devious examples that didn’t quite slip through the regulatory net.ĭuring the 2000 US presidential race, a TV commercial created by George Bush’s campaign team used subliminal messaging over pictures deriding presidential candidate Al Gore’s proposals on prescription drugs. What is evident, however, is that ads containing stimuli that are difficult to discern exist, and that they can, however subtly, alter human behavior and emotions. The effectiveness of subliminal messages is actually disputed – if the results of controlled tests are anything to go by. If adverts can steer us toward a particular product through surreptitiously placed words or images designed to be absorbed at a subconscious level, how else can marketing and government agencies coerce us into decisions that are not our own? The specter of brainwashing looms large. Ever since the term ‘subliminal advertising’ was coined in the 1950s, the idea of advertisements with hidden messages that can influence us without our conscious understanding has captivated the popular imagination.

![]() How is "possession" determined by referee? In fact, once three passes have been completed, if a defensive player (including the goalie) accidentally knocks the ball into the pin it can result in a goal being scored for the offensive team! Some players even try to "bank" shot the goal by deflecting the ball off of another offensive or defensive player. You can kick the ball, slap or "spike" the ball, "head" the ball, etc. Once three passes have been completed, a goal can be scored by any means. How can goals be scored (hands, feet, etc.)? But, if the shot does not hit the ground and the rebound comes back to an offensive player they may shoot again without passing. However, once your passes are complete your shot can be bounced or even rolled into the goal pin, and of course you can use the backboard for bank shots! Keep in mind that once the ball hits the ground, if the shot rebounds back to an offensive player, they must start their passes over again. Yes! Remember that if the ball hits the ground for any reason, it re-starts your three passes. ![]() The use of feet is also a good way to prevent a ball from going out of bounds, and so long as you have completed your 3 passes you can even kick the ball into the BakiPin goal pin to score a goal!

In some studies, the stretch and sweep intervention only brought the onset of labour forward by about 24 hours. “The risks and downsides of a stretch and sweep include discomfort, light bleeding and irregular contractions, which may interfere with a woman’s ability to rest and sleep in the last few days of pregnancy. Here’s another excerpt from my book on Inducing Labour: Stretching and sweeping isn’t benign, as some people like to suggest. More on that review here.īecause there is so much uncertainty, it’s really hard to know whether, if you go into labour after you’ve had a stretch and sweep, it was because of the stretch and sweep or whether your body was about to go into labour anyway. Questions remain as to whether there is an optimal number of membrane sweeps and timings and gestation of these to facilitate induction of labour.” (Finucane et al 2020). When compared to expectant management, it potentially reduces the incidence of formal induction of labour. “Membrane sweeping may be effective in achieving a spontaneous onset of labour, but the evidence for this was of low certainty. They also note that the evidence isn’t robust and that there are lots of areas that we need to know more about. Note that, in this quote, they can only say that it MAY help. The most recent review shows that it’s still very uncertain whether or not membrane sweeping makes a difference. The Cochrane review that I referred to in there has since been updated, but not much has changed. However, this figure assumes that all women would decide to have induction, which is not the case.” ( Wickham 2018). “The most recent Cochrane review of the research on this topic by Boulvain et al (2005) found that, while these may help bring on labour a bit sooner than otherwise would be the case, eight women need to have a stretch and sweep in order for one woman to go into labour without needing more induction interventions. Here’s what I wrote about the evidence in Inducing Labour: making informed decisions: Many were deemed to be of low quality and, where there is a difference between the women who had a sweep and the women who didn’t, it was a small difference. The results of studies that have looked at this have been very varied. ![]() However, you do not have to accept any intervention, including a stretch and sweep. This is understandable, because midwives know that many women do not like induction and it can lead to unwanted consequences. In other areas, midwives offer it because they know that women will be pressured to undergo hospital induction if they do not go into labour by a certain time. Stretch and sweeps are discussed in the NICE guidance in the UK. Some hospitals have guidelines that tell the midwives that work for them to offer a stretch and sweep to all women. In other words, it is a way to try to induce labour. It’s a procedure in which a midwife or doctor will, while doing a vaginal examination, sweep a finger around and/or within the opening of your cervix (the lowest part of your womb).Ī stretch and sweep is offered in the hope that it will stimulate the uterus and bring labour on earlier than it might otherwise have begun. But what is this, why and how is it done, does it work and can you say no? Many women are offered a ‘stretch and sweep’ in late pregnancy, sometimes on more than one occasion.
