If today is your birthday, leap for joy (see what I did there?!)! For all of you math nerds out there, which I, sadly, can't claim to be, what are the odds that three siblings, each born 4 years apart, are not only born on the same day but that day is February 29th?! Heidi Henriksen, Olav Henriksen and Leif-Martin Henriksen were all born on February 29th in 1960, 1964 and 1968 respecitvely.

This Sunday is the 88th Academy Awards and the actual Oscar statue has been resdesigned to combine elements from both the 2015 statutes and the original 1929 art deco style. Making this possible was the use of 3D printing technology! Once the two styles were combined then a final 3D version was printed with wax. The wax version was then used to create a ceramic mold which was then used to pour the brass in, then they were coated in 24-karat gold. Some fun trivia to impress

Check out this great podcast from Will Barron when he chats with Leigh Ashton about using Jedi Mind Tricks or Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to improve your sales process!
