Asics continues its partnership with the Australian Cricket Team and Cricket Australia, this time shining a light on both the established and emerging stars of the game as a localisation of the global "Want It More" positioning. There's no other game quite like cricket. It's a team sport but also a game which places individual player performance under such scrutiny and pressure to perform time and time again. Dealing with this pressure requires a huge amount of personal sacrifice by the players. The series of spots, via Infinity Squared and directed by Melvin J. Montalban, shine a light on how players sacrifice those things we take for granted as Australians, all in pursuit of Wanting it More: Nights out with mates, BBQs and quality time with family and friends. Featuring David Warner, Holly Ferling and paceman Mitchell Starc, the extended campaign also explores the technical approach the players employ for their training.

When these Londoners were asked to try a new milk, they were more than happy to offer praise for the creamy drink, but when a disturbing "fact" about the milk was revealed, everything changed. People were disgusted when they were told that the drink (which was actually soya milk) came from a dog. But if the thought of drinking dogs' milk makes you feel ill, why drink the milk from any other animal? After all, there is nothing "normal" about artificially inseminating a cow and forcing her to give birth, only to tear her beloved calf away from her so that the milk that nature intended for her baby can be consumed by humans instead. Humans are the only species on the planet to drink another animal's milk, and cows' milk is no more natural for us than dogs' or rats' milk would be. Agency: Don't Panic, London.

Before World AIDS day, the French NGO AIDES reveals to the general public a piece of information that might just change everything. It's a piece of information that is widely approved by the scientific community but that still hasn't made its way to the general public: an HIV-positive person following treatment no longer transmits the virus. Anti-retroviral drugs are now so efficient that they make the virus undetectable in the bloodstream and sexual fluids of affected people. Hence, HIV-positive people no longer transmit HIV, even when having unprotected sex. Such a piece of information completely spins on their head the representations people have of HIV-positive people.
