Marcus Trescothick, captain of Somerset County Cricket Club, sat down for an interview to discuss the upcoming season. He says he has rediscovered his love for the game after struggling in 2013. While he faced criticism over his age during his poor form, he feels he can still perform well. Trescothick stepped down as one-day captain but enjoyed playing T20 matches without the pressure of leadership. He hopes a change in atmosphere under the new Director of Cricket Matt Maynard will help Somerset be more competitive across all formats in the new season.
Overtons channel sibling rivalry to Somerset’s advantage - The InciderJeremy Blackmore
The twins, Craig and Jamie Overton, dominated the third day of Somerset's match against Yorkshire through both their batting and bowling. Together they shared a 10th wicket partnership of 76 runs to give Somerset the lead, with Jamie scoring a quickfire 50. Their bowling was also effective, with Craig taking three key wickets. It was the first time the talented brothers had appeared together for Somerset this season due to injuries. Both have shown individual performances this season but are becoming an increasingly effective partnership through channeling their sibling rivalry.
Somerset plan for the future as Thomas moves aside for youth - The InciderJeremy Blackmore
Somerset have made changes to their one-day squad for the remainder of the season, backing youth and looking towards the future. Alfonso Thomas steps down as captain, with Jim Allenby taking over, and young players like Jack Leach, Tom Abell, and Adam Hose will be given opportunities. The club hopes this strategy will boost confidence and momentum heading into the red-ball cricket.
The document discusses proposals to reform English county cricket in the wake of England's early exit from the 2015 Cricket World Cup. It argues that reducing the number of county teams through franchise models would severely limit access to cricket for fans and opportunities for young players. While some change is needed, a wholesale shift to a franchise system risks losing the next generation of cricket fans outside of major cities and could undermine the county system that previously produced successful England teams. More competitive domestic cricket across all formats may better address England's one-day struggles than restricting the county system.
Somerset will have “no truck” with T20 franchises – Andy Nash - The InciderJeremy Blackmore
Andy Nash, the chairman of Somerset Cricket Club, stated unequivocally that Somerset will oppose any move to franchise T20 cricket, which could result in matches being played by a Bristol-based franchise instead of Somerset. Nash said Somerset has invested too much money and development into the club to see T20 cricket move away. While some changes may be needed to improve England's international performances, Nash believes it would be unfair to blame county cricket structures. He reiterated that Somerset intends to compete strongly in any restructured T20 competition format.
Ready and Abell_ Somerset make long term investment in Tom’s promise - The In...Jeremy Blackmore
Tom Abell is a rising star for Somerset County Cricket Club. He has shown promise from a young age, scoring over 150 runs in a single innings for Taunton Cricket Club at age 17. On his first-class debut for Somerset last summer, he scored an mature 95 runs. Somerset recently awarded Abell a new four-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2019, in recognition of his talent and promise to develop further. Those who have coached and played with Abell praise both his elegant batting technique and strong temperament.
A very personal decision_ Nick Compton moves on from Somerset after five year...Jeremy Blackmore
Nick Compton has decided to leave Somerset County Cricket Club after five years to relocate to London. Compton had been a key player for Somerset, scoring many runs, but was dropped from the England team in 2013. This disappointed him greatly. While he continued scoring runs for Somerset, he was overlooked for England selection again in 2014. Compton felt the long commute from London was affecting his form, so he decided to move permanently to be closer to family and friends in London and explore other career opportunities, while still hoping to continue his cricket career. Somerset were sorry to lose Compton but understood his personal reasons for leaving.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Marcus Trescothick: “The buzz of playing the game is back”
Somerset captain Marcus Trescothick sat down with
journalists at the club’s media day recently to discuss
pre-season preparations and his hopes and
aspirations for the new season. Jeremy Blackmore
was there for The Incider.
“Another season. They roll into one these days,”
Marcus Trescothick sits himself down on a
comfortable window seat in the Long Room at the
County Ground in Taunton and stretches his arms out
as he prepares to answer questions from a group of
journalists.
This is the veteran – and we’ll come back to that word
– batsman’s 23 season of first-class cricket and his
sixth at the helm of the county championship side.
Many of his contemporaries have long since abandoned the demands of the gruelling county season for
the comfort of the television studio. Yet in his forthieth year, Trescothick insists age is not a factor and
clearly has high expectations of himself over the next five and a half months.
Looking relaxed and tanned in a dark blue Somerset tracksuit, Trescothick mentions the word “enjoyment”
several times over the next 15 minutes and a broad grin spreads across his face as he speaks about
receiving his new bats ready for the season, something which evokes the same feelings in him that he used
to get as a teenager. If it ever really went away, he has clearly rediscovered his love for the game.
Indeed, life is obviously treating the Somerset skipper well. He has just gone on his first pre-season
overseas trip in several years, a major achievement and an experience he clearly enjoyed, and is relaxing
into the atmosphere being forged in partnership with new Director of Cricket Matt Maynard. The decision
to split the captaincy between himself and Alfonso Thomas also seems to have lifted a weight from his
shoulders and he speaks warmly about playing T20 cricket last year as a wicket-keeper batsman without
the added pressure of leadership.
Last season saw a return to form for Trescothick after the ‘annus horribilis’ that was 2013 when he failed to
score a first-class hundred for the first time in an English summer since 1998 and Somerset fought a
relegation battle to remain in the top tier of the championship.
How did Trescothick cope during one of the darkest periods of his captaincy?
“During the season where it didn’t go very well, you’re always thinking how am I getting through into the
next big score that you want to get? And then I got a big score against Sussex down at Hove [in late April
2014] and made a difference in the game and then it all comes flooding back after that.”
Trescothick’s age was cited by many critics throughout 2013 as the reason behind his lack of form. Were
there times that season when he began to doubt himself and let the criticism weigh on his mind?
“You don’t get drawn into what’s going on because you’ve played the game long enough to appreciate it’s
going to be up and down at different times,” he reflects, drawing on all his years of experience.
However he accepts that it’s

something which older players have
to deal with. “You can never get
away from it, it’s always going to be
there for as long as I’m still playing,
my age will obviously be that factor
when you don’t play well, when you
go through a lean spell, “oh, he’s
past it”, many players are producing
the goods older than I am now and
still doing so, so it’s not an issue.”
This month saw the first competitive
game in charge for Matt Maynard as
the new Director of Cricket and
Trescothick notes that there’s a
different atmosphere at the club this
year.
“The atmosphere at the club has
evolved a little bit, I think you’re
trying to get back to the fashion that
we had.
“Two or three seasons ago we were aggressive, the energy and confidence was high. You’re trying to get
back to that point really.”
Trescothick, who will continue to captain Somerset in
the County Championship, warns that changes will
take time. “I don’t think you can judge it too much on
early season. Time will tell; it’s the obvious thing isn’t
it. I don’t think we can get too caught up on it just yet
and what has gone on. What’s happened, we’ll put
that to bed and try and move forward in a different
fashion to what we’ve done.”
We spoke the week after the club’s pre-season
training camp in Desert Springs in Spain, Trescothick’s
first overseas cricket tour in several years. It was a big
step for him, but an experience which clearly brought
back many good memories.
“It’s been a good winter. Last week was great,” he
says. “It’s the first time I’ve been on a pre-season
cricket trip for a number of years. That was a nice
feeling to get away, get a bit of sun on the back and do a bit of cricket abroad.
“You forget what it’s all about. I’d forgotten what touring was like. The week I spent reminded me how much
I used to enjoy it. Cricket in the morning, golf in the afternoon and go from there really, so I really enjoyed
it.”
Trescothick prepared quietly by going out to Spain for two days the week before the training camp while
Maynard was there with the Tom Maynard Trust.
“I went out there for two days. Me and Alfonso went out there together. He went out for four days. I just
went out to have a look at the place, to get a feel for what it was all about, knowing then the following week
we had the pre-season trip. It went brilliantly, I couldn’t ask for more.”

The captain’s verdict was that the camp was extremely valuable for the squad.
“It’s great that you get the extra preparation time. Already you’ve had a week out on grass. You come back
here and you’re a week ahead of where you need to be already.
“It doesn’t make it any easier necessarily that you come back here and it’ll fly, but I think it gives you that
extra little bit of confidence that you need to know that you’re generally moving in the right direction.”
There was much conjecture over the winter whether there may be changes to the captaincy in one-day
cricket in 2015 and Trescothick confirms it was a topic he gave a lot of thought to.
“Matt asked me when he came in: “what do you want to do with the captaincy” and I was umming and
ahhing. In recent times I’ve been like: ‘this is what I want to do, I want to do everything full time’.”
But he admitted that he had started to feel differently after the past two years.
“I just wanted a bit of a rest from it,” he explains. “I found it quite demanding over the last probably two
seasons, working at your own game and trying to get the team in order. Whether that’s partly because of
how the team’s operated in terms of performances – we haven’t been as good – it makes it more
challenging for a skipper.”
Last summer Trescothick stood down from the T20
captaincy after a poor run of form, despite his
prolific scoring in the championship, with Thomas
taking over the reins. He came back into the side
temporarily as keeper-batsman following Craig
Kieswetter’s horrific eye injury.
He explains that it was those T20 games with the
gloves that ultimately led him to decide to give up
the one-day captaincy.
“It made me really realise when I kept wicket in
those few games, I really enjoyed it, the buzz of
actually playing the game was back, like when you’re
a kid.
“That’s what really led me down that road to saying I
need a bit of a rest from this and move away. It’s
tricky to move away altogether with players that
we’ve got. For Alfonso to be championship captain,
for example, would have been quite tricky when
you’re trying to rest bowlers and so on.”
Maynard has been careful going into 2015 not to make any boasts about bringing silverware to Taunton in
his first year, although he has said he expects his charges to be competitive in all three competitions. Is it
wise to go into the season in understated fashion, fly under the wire and maybe surprise your opponents?
“We’ve done it both ways,” notes Trescothick, ruefully. “Both have been successful, both have been
unsuccessful. I don’t think there’s any real right way. What matters at the end of the day are your
performances. If you get that right, it looks after itself.”
He talks of his hopes that having an overseas spinner of Abdur Rehman’s calibre will help Somerset win
matches in the fourth innings. The club has found it difficult, particularly in the second half of last season,
to bowl sides out twice.
“Whether that’s the pitches, whether that’s a bit more experience in the team, we don’t know,” he says.
“When you bring in the calibre of overseas that we have done this season it’s going to give you a better

chance. When you watch someone like Warwickshire, where Jeetan Patel controlled the game when he
played against us, it’s going to help us.”
The off season saw the departures of two quality batsmen with international experience in Nick Compton
and Alviro Petersen, as well as news that Kieswetter is likely to miss the whole summer while he
recuperates from his injury. Does that put more pressure on Trescothick as the most experienced batsman
in the side?
“I wouldn’t say so right at this minute, no,” he says. “That changes throughout the season when people are
in form, out of form, you get spells when you’re relied on because you’re the man in form at different times.
“But personally I’ve carried that burden for a number of years anyway. I expect it of myself that I’ve got to
be the leading run scorer. I expect that over the course of the season to try to be that for the whole of the
country. Not just in our own team. You expect yourself to do well. You’ve got to live up to that.”
He accepts though that after a disappointing year in white ball cricket that he is under pressure to justify
his place, now that he is no longer captain in that form of the game.
“I’ve got to step up and perform better than I have done,” he acknowledges.
One thing that seems as far away as ever is retirement. He will celebrate his 40 birthday on Christmas Day
this year and will take stock.
“40 was my target; that was what I wanted to get to and then I said I would reassess at that point. As long as
I’m still enjoying it and good enough to match up to the team and it’s up to the club at that point.”
He has though made a move towards establishing a
career after cricket by joining the coaching team at
Taunton School this month as Cricket Development
Coach in addition to his media commitments.
Working with younger players such as those who have
emerged through Somerset’s youth system like the
Overton twins, Lewis Gregory and Alex Barrow, is
something Trescothick clearly enjoys.
He freely admits there’s a difference between players of
his generation and younger players whose fitness levels
were produced a much earlier age, but says his
teammates remain keen to learn from him.
“They understand the element of experience that they
don’t have and they’re trying to learn that. So they’re
always feeding off different things and trying to pick my
brains and understand that sort of thing.
“They might have all the youth, of course they do.
Whereas I wake up after a long day in the field and can
hardly move and they’re all bouncing round, but there’s
still that side where you’ve got to think about it a bit more. You’re trying to give them as much as you can
and make them understand what they’ve got to do.”
Veteran he may be, but Trescothick understands that youthful excitement and enjoyment of the game only
too well.
“When your new package arrives and your new bats and gloves and things like that,” he grins. “I was
knocking in my new bats yesterday afternoon when everyone had gone home, it was just like, “okay, let’s
get ready”. That’s what it’s all about.”
