Exciting news: our brand new website will be arriving very soon. To be the first to hear about it, sign up here.
Where in the world are you?
It's far nicer (and easier) when things are in your own language.Right now, we speak a few, but we're learning more all the time…
By our creative director, Emma Sims-Hilditch
Christmas at Neptune is a little different to what other companies do. We're quieter, our colour palette is much shyer, and our whole tone is one of peace. Like with everything we do, our festivities are rooted in two things: nature and elegance. And perhaps because Christmas is a time when other brands might get carried away, by staying true to who we really are, that elegance is felt all the more.
This is Christmas, the Neptune way.
Warm, welcoming, imaginative, pared-back, heart-warming, effortless. These are all words that I've heard people use to describe our Neptune Christmas scenes. And I think they're all quite true. The one sentiment that's missing there though is, easy. All of our designs have been created to promise you effortlessness, so that you know no matter how busy you are, it will all come together in the end. Not only that, we want you to be able to recreate what you see in our photoshoots, because nothing is more frustrating than seeing something spectacular that you'll never be able to make yourself.
Nature underpins all of our Christmas interior schemes. The furniture of course plays a key role, but we accentuate the natural textures and tones by bringing in quite a large amount of foraged bits and bobs.
Step outside
A weekend afternoon spent with our families in the great outdoors becomes all the more joyful when you're tasked with amassing fallen fir cones, knobbly sticks and crooked twigs to bring back home. We'll then mix them in with some of our wonderfully life-like sprigs and stems to create an arrangement that's full of earthy tones.
A nod to our European neighbours
As a little girl I remember visiting a friend who lived in Germany and being mesmerised by the Christmas markets. At Neptune we're inspired by the Christmas scenes seen in countries like Germany and Switzerland, but we borrow aspects rather than the entire very-merry theme.
Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference
Wreaths for indoors as well as out
I just love using wreaths inside. Our very clever stylists will sometimes make a wreath using real foliage and berries to hang from outside doors, but when it comes to our interiors, you'll spy the more practical (and very pretty) life-like wreaths. I like to use one on dark or heavily textured walls, or at the end of a very long hallway so you see it as you walk along, or down the staircase towards it. Tradition tells us the wreath belongs on the front door, and while we agree with that, we very much believe it has a place behind closed doors too.
The tree
The Christmas tree can be a bit of a conundrum for many homes. Faux fir feels like you're cheating somehow, but if they're a more practical option for you then we say you should feel perfectly happy and confident with your choice of tree. Even as huge fans of all things natural, we also think practicality is key to our homes feeling happy. I try to create balance with our Christmas interiors by using a beautifully bushy life-like fir and then buying offcuts from real ones to use for decoration so you can still capture that lovely pine smell. And because at Neptune we love to decorate all aspects of our homes in the subtlest of ways, these branches are perfect for draping over mantels, dressers, or photo frames hung from our walls. Or I might get an extra, smaller real tree to use in an outdoor space.
Emma's advent tree
The advent tree is a really fun thing to create and is a refreshing alternative to the typical advent calendar. I'll use a miniature Christmas tree and make little advent parcels to hang from the branches using wrapping paper and twine. Then each day when a parcel is plucked, you replace it with a decoration. This is the tree from which I'll hang all of the crumpled heirloom decorations that I don't want to throw away but aren't quite to my taste anymore. Even though my children are all grown up now, they still absolutely adore our little advent tree.
Nature's palette and varied texture creates an offbeat kind of elegance; it's familiar, varied and therefore a little informal. But we build on that elegance by allowing ourselves to be creative with our displays.
The loveliest lighting
Christmas lighting can go one of two ways: over the top and squinty bright, or soft and twinkly. Christmas lighting at Neptune is about the latter. So we created fairy lights that can be battery-powered or joined together to create one super long string, as well as a collection of candles that encourages us to mix things up.
Lighting is such a simple way to achieve magic, like a strand of fairy lights and a cluster of snowy fir cones within a glass jarstood in the kitchen, or weaving their blinking bulbs through the top layer of logs in a log basket. The same goes for the romance of candlelight. The design team and I wanted a really fun array of tealight holders, candlesticks and hurricane lanterns so your festive lighting is an exciting, eclectic mix. I think it looks quite breath-taking when it's black outside and biting cold and you walk into a room that has a beautiful wave of 'up- and down-ness' of candlelight. By mixing colours, shapes and sizes of candles and holders it's almost reminiscent of music notes on a page.
Make an entrance
I often talk about how important it is to treat the hallway as a room, because it's the first thing that will greet not just guests, but you and your family, day in day out. So at Christmas time we make a spectacle of our entryways so that you have plenty of ideas to steal.
The easiest place to start is the staircase. Spindles and banisters call out to be adorned with all things festive, but it's really fun to experiment with different ideas. We try something new every year but there's always greenery. This year we've used red berries and the tiniest amount of fairy lights. It's important to not go overboard.
Wrap up
Present wrapping is very much a part of the decorating process too. Gifts under the tree is such an enchanting spectacle. My mum is the most incredible gift-wrapper and would often use rolls of wallpaper that she'd stashed away to wrap our childhood presents. I try to think of present wrapping like she did. Each year I'll block a day out in my diary to wrap all my gifts. It brings me such joy and it's lovely to not have a last-minute rush. But for when plans go awry, we designed wrapping paper that will mean that no matter what happens, your presents can be hugged in something sophisticated.
Bake and display
At home, we bake so many mince pies every December. We just adore them. It's what made me wonder what else we could do with them, because they're one of Christmas's most celebrated motifs. So I'll make a few spare and I'll use them to display in glass jars too, replacing them each week in the run up to Christmas. Sometimes I'll write a little tag that says 'help yourself' because everybody feels welcome when there are edible decorations around!
These are but a few of the ideas that I cherish the most and that help to illustrate what Christmas at Neptune is all about. I hope that our imagery fuels your imaginations, that our stories explain our festive thinking, and that our stores help you to bring it all together.
The Christmas collection From fir tree to fairy lights

We ruled the skies
Daddy was a great kite flyer. His passion for kites was so strong that to tell him to fly a ready-made kite was akin to blasphemy. So as soon as kite flying season would come there would be rolls of maanja, couple of phirkis, bamboo and sheets of glazed paper or China paper, as some would call it because Chinese lanterns were made of it, lying around the house. Mummy would be asked to make a pot of 'layee' ( an adhesive made by cooking refined flour) Daddy didn't believe in using the market glue. Then there would be pieces of glass, which he would very strictly forbid us from even looking at forget touching!
Now the entire process of making kites for the season would begin. What made it so exciting was the involvement of imagination……no ordinary kites for us.
"Aur phir Chakotri," he'd address me, smiling delightedly, "what kind of kite do you want?"
The question would go to Jasper Nana too. But whereas Jasper would be more thoughtful about the kind of flying object he desired, obviously taking in other "technical aspects," I'd let my imagination fly. I think I must have made some very impossible demands, in fact I'm sure I did, but none would be brushed aside with a flat " NO." Daddy would work around my original design, retaining what he could to keep me happy and also produce something that would take off.
The maanja was the most difficult part. I can't recall the exact process but I know the glass would be powdered very fine. A difficult task and the male domestic help would also be requisitioned for this, much to Mummy's annoyance, because the only male help was also the cook. And then the string would be dipped in some sort of gooey stuff and drawn through the powdered glass. This needed space so it would be done in the backyard which was very big.
But I'm drawing out this narration too much…let's come to the day we became the rulers of the sky. One day Jasper Nana and yours truly decided that the pecha wins we had in our kite flying sorties, were not very impressive, so I went with our laments to Daddy. And as usual, bless him, he was up to the challenge.
"Abhi dikhate hain unko patang kya cheez hai. Arre, I'll make you such a kite that they'll run with their tails between their legs."
Thus was fashioned a kite that was taller than I was, so it would be over four feet. A lot of thought and planning went into the dynamics of this monster ( it looked like one to me). Then the question of maanja was raised by Jasper, and Daddy totally agreed that we needed something much stronger but not too heavy either. Now don't ask me what he did because I don't remember, all I can recall with absolute detail and delight, even to this day, is the pride I felt as the kite soared majestically into the sky.
The first day we took it for its maiden launch, Daddy had in true 'Daddy' nature made it a picnic. He got Mummy to pack the picnic basket. In those days I doubt if there was any home without a wicker picnic basket. Our destination, a twelve minute walk from home, was a small hillock. My job was to lug the picnic basket which, given my diminutive size was big. But I wasn't going to complain about that and managed to keep it an inch above the ground.
And then I waited with bated breath for the take-off. Smooth! It climbed against the wind like a dream. As it made its way upward and onward, Daddy brought it into combat with every kite in 'pechable' distance. Annihilation was swift and sure. Our grand-daddy of all kites dominated the blue expanse, as it held steady, a tiny speck in the sky.
By the third day word had spread and the regulars who flew their kites there vanished kite et al, as soon as they saw us coming with our giant. After the initial egoistic boost, I felt a bit deflated as we watched our kite do a drunken swoon, as it sailed unchallenged and uninterrupted. This wasn't fun. We had taken away the fun from the entire activity. What should have been pure enjoyment and fun and games had turned into a battle for supremacy. Of course I couldn't elucidate all this but I did comment on it.
"They've all gone away," I said quietly. "They are scared of us," I added with undisguised disappointment.
"Yes, daud gaye sare. Your kite is the king." Daddy had failed to notice that I wasn't quite pleased with this dubious entitlement.
"But it's not so nice without any other kites. It was so much fun on the first day," I insisted in an effort to make my point. No one sensed how I was feeling. They were too elated with the momentary thrill of being rulers of that small patch of blue.
I had learnt a lesson.
Later on the realization would imprint on my mind that there is a fine line between healthy competition and unhealthy competition and we must remember never to cross this boundary. Ever since then I have gauged the level of competition to set my standards and then I've competed with myself alone. In the bargain if I outdid the others it would be a bonus for me….! It was always a win-win situation. I either added to my prizes or I added to my learning experience.
Manja.....the twine used to fly the kite.
Phirki.....a kind of spool on which the twine is wrapped. It has elongated handles on either side which rest between the thumbs and forefingers.
Aur phir chakotri......What now chakotri(a name he had coined up for me because of my round face.)
Pecha.....The act of engaging and cutting an opponents kite.
Abhi dikhate hain unko patang kya cheez hoti hai.....We'll show them right now what a kite is.
Daud gaye sare.....They've all run away.
Pechable.....a combination of 'pecha' and 'able'. Coined up by us to mean within striking distance.
See you tomorrow.
I think, I write. I see, I write. I remember, I write. I read something, I hear something, I write. I am happy, sad, angry, indifferent, I write...like the babbling brook I flow on and on...like the leaden cloud I pour out my thoughts.

I was trying to find some good domain name for our upcoming business science website, when something suddenly became clear to me. Many of us have been confused for a long time about what data science means, how it is different from statistics, machine learning, data mining, or operations research, and the rise of the data scientist light - a new species of coders who call themselves data scientist after a few hours of Python/R training, working on a small project at best, and spending $200 for their training. Thedata scientist light is not a real one, even though I believe that you can learn data science from scratch on the job, just as I did.
This introduction brings me to the ABCD's, and the arguments are further developed in my conclusion below. These four domains are certainly overlapping. But I believe that identifying them brings more clarity about roles differentiation and collaboration.
- Analytics Science. Deals with modern statistical modeling, predictive modeling, model-free (data-driven) statistics, root cause analysis, defining and selecting metrics, and traditional techniques such as clustering, SVM, linear regression, K-NN (whether you call it machine learning, AI, statistics or data science). Analytics scientists are true geeks with generic knowledge applicable to many domains. They may work on small or big data. Analytics science, unlike data science, is well documented in college textbooks.
- Business Science. Deals with principles, both theoretical and applied, where domain expertise and deep cross-departments business understanding is critical. The purpose is to leverage analytics to deliver added value or increased profits. Business scientists might spend little time coding, unlike the three other categories. Examples of business science applications can be found in this article, and also in this article. It may overlap with BI, six sigmas and operations research. So it can definitely involve a great deal of statistical modeling, modern or not.
- Computer Science: Deals with architecture (including real-time, distributed and cross-platforms such as IoT), algorithm design and refinement, platform design, Internet and communications protocols, data standards, systems engineering, software engineering and prototyping.
- Data Science: Deals with data identification, collection, cleaning, summarizing, and insights extraction - even dashboards and visualizations that help with the executive decision process. Also includes advanced algorithms for big data, sensor data (IoT), black-box analytics, batch-mode analytics, automation of analytics processes. API's, analytics-driven systems based on machine-to-machine communications (for instance, automated bidding, fraud monitoring.) Typically, simple black-box, machine-controlled techniques are more difficult to design than complex man-controlled analyses, because they must be made very robust, as opposed to very accurate. Many data scientists also know quite a bit of analytics science, especially modern principles (typically not published in college textbooks) to deal with big, unstructured, fast flowing data. While in some ways computer scientists make data alive, data scientists take it from there and make it intelligent.
I finally decided to call myself business scientist, as my experience is more and more aligned with this domain (being an entrepreneur), though, like many of us here, I have significant knowledge and expertise in all four domains, especially in data science and analytics science. My motivation to call myself abusiness scientist is also partly to not be confused with a data scientist light. This erroneous statement is sometimes brought against us (real) data scientists, by a minority of vocal analytics scientists. I believe that we need to dispel this myth. Part of the reason, I believe, is because math-free solutions that in addition, trade accuracy for robustness (in order to fit in black-box systems or be usable by the layman) are not respected by some traditional statisticians, who erroneously believe that automation and/or removing statistical jargon and mathematical background, is not possible. Maybe because it could jeopardize their jobs?
In the end, I want to make data science accessible to everyone, not to an elite of initiated, change-adverse professionals. It requires a new, unified, simple, efficient, math-free or math-light (but not data science light) approach to analytics problems and solutions, as well as algorithmic ingeniosity. This is feasible, but more difficult than producing extremely complicated statistical models - which is what I was doing earlier in my career.

mission statement
Design stands for the development of creative, intelligent and sustainable solutions in the dynamic interface between society, the arts and technology, between strategic economic management and interdisciplinary scientific thinking. Pforzheim University / School of Design bases it's educational goal on connecting these factors of success with the goal of teaching sustainable design on the highest aesthetic and technical level. Quality and a sense of responsibility define the center point of thinking and taking action, as our students will be deciding influences on culture, economic success, identity and acceptance of companies and the developing aesthetic understanding of our society.
international role
We cultivate an active exchange with over 20 partner schools worldwide, some are individually study program specific and others applicable to several study programs. Participation in internationally well known trade fairs opens our activities to a larger audience, providing participating students with invaluable, international feedback and experience. We also place a high value and emphasis on participation in international competitions, take part in international symposiums, and are actively involved in organizing them as well, such as the biannual international Transportation Design Symposium.
national role
We are content to have qualified and vivid cooperations with industries and universities such as international operating companies (e.g. Daimler, VW, Audi, Miele, Kärcher, Duravit...) and nationwide workshops involving students from faculties of architecture, design and art (funded by Bayer, Grohe, Henkel...). On the other hand we also connect to regional business´ coining a Corporate Identity for the region of northern black forest or being an active member in chamber of commerce.
main focus
Both the BA and MA programs aim to help our students develop into independent thinking, successful and sustainable designers, able to work in their chosen fields and be active contributors to the ongoing development of their professions. A profound breadth in the fine and theoretical arts is the critical foundation for all study programs, giving our students a unique basis for developing individual aesthetic and critical thinking approaches. While different study programs emphasize different attributes, the ability to conceptualize, to synthesize new aesthetic and problem-solving strategies is tightly woven to material- and form-sensitive explorations and realisations.
faculties and departments
Pforzheim University School of Design hosts various departments with a focus on Accessory Design, Jewellery, Fashion, Industrial Design, Transportation Design, Visual Communication as well as Creative Direction and Design as Future Making. With its unique trans-departmental education, DesignPF offers a broad range of art-related core classes to all design students challenging the designers' elastic and creative mind, provoking inspiring paradigm shifts and fostering an engagement of intellectual, experimental and tacit rigor.The project- and student-centered education assures hands-on, collaborative seminars and studio classes, interdisciplinary activities as collaborations with internal and external partners and stresses the cultivation of challenging sustainable engagement, working within limitations and interconnecting creativity and commerce.
bachelor level programs
Pforzheim University School of Design offers six Bachelor degree programs in the area of
- Accessory Design,
- Jewellery,
- Fashion,
- Industrial Design,
- Transportation Design,
- Visual Communication (with elective options of different minors)
master level programs
Pforzheim University School of Design – DesignPF - currently offers three postgraduate degree programs, which takes 3 semesters to complete. The consecutive master's program in Transportation Design requires an undergraduate degree in a similar field whereas the master's programs in Creative Direction and Design as Future Making request an inter- and transdisciplinary design approach with a focus on creative making and leadership strategies.
research activity and main areas
Pforzheim University School of Design – DesignPF – focuses on two major areas: research through as with design and research about design. Both approaches comprise the fulcrum of creative, critical thinking and making.
Creative THINKING & Critical MAKING
Creative MAKING & Critical THINKING:
DesignPF Research entails critical as creative engagement taking in two conceptional as contextual approaches: the 'disegno' concept and the 'design turn'. The appealing concepts comprise both, design as embodiment of all intellectual processes and creative principles and design as an integrative force with its synthetic and interdisciplinary potential of generating and imparting knowledge. Craftsmanship and the various ways of thinking are fundamentally interconnected capacities of future-oriented, innovation-driven design work.
DesignPF Research approach requires Denkräume forming, 'thinging' and thinking spaces: encouraging, even provoking diversity, lateral exploration, experimental investigations, controversial sense-making and knowledge spans with a particular, reflective focus on process structures in art and design. Research a comprises various ways of thinking and interacting with speculation and situated knowledge.The internationally recognized lecture series "artefacts", accompanied by the upcoming eJournal "artefakte.online" provide theme-oriented inspiring impulses for students, educators and researchers.
In conjunction with EngineeringPF, the DesignPF Research Institute HEED operates as a pioneering hub, as an innovation laboratory incorporating trans- disciplinary design research, multidisciplinary skills and transfer knowledge in order to challenge empathic, holistic interactions, to strengthen a (joint) venturing culture and to encourage entrepreneurial activities in the field of design, technology and engineering.

Open World games that capture the sense of emptiness
@Haru17 said:
and Xenoblade Chronicles are two good examples of games that have absolutely nothing interesting in their world design.
I guess you forgot about places like Valak Mountain that have climbing, weird ice sliding mechanics, camouflaged little ice jut paths that lead to secret areas, a fucking geyser that takes you between places, etc. You're grossly oversimplifying the world to say it's all just flat areas with absolutely nothing interesting you walk through.
Xenoblade's Bionis Leg is really just a flat field with parts of that flat field elevated into strips of land floating in the air, equally featurelessly.
Really? Sure you're not exaggerating? Cause here's a map of that exact area that shows otherwise:
literally just holding forward (or holding nothing in TWW's case)
In the case of Windwaker you change the wind direction with the namesake of the game to navigate the seas toward the direction you'd like to explore, running into things like weird shark enemies, fish that you can give bait to for filling out your sea charts, tornadoes you can later harness the power of to quickwarp around the world, boats that shoot at you, and more. There's sail time between each thing yes, but that's because oceans are like that. Kick back and enjoy the atmosphere, watch the sunrise, admire the seagulls, instead of being so impatient to get to the next thing you're pulling your hair out. And if you're really that annoyed, the HD remake of the game has this nifty item called the Swift Sail you can obtain to greatly speed up the sailing sections of the game. Or just learn to swift swim glitch like the speedrunners.
Even Uncharted climbing is more engaging than Grow Home/Breath of the Wild climbing because you actually have to navigate instead of just hold up and wait.
No, just no. Going along linear, set paths that are COLOR MARKED, that crumble the moment you pass them is not more interesting. I can't even tell you early game in Breath of the Wild how many times I had to cleverly ration my stamina to get up areas. Sometimes, I'd have to find ways to break one big cliff-face into multiple ascents by finding places where they was a break you could rest, often a slant just horizontal enough to catch your breath on. Other times I'd have to find other tall structures nearby my stamina could carry me up to use as a jumping and often gliding point to reach the next cliffside for me to climb up with all my stamina from the midpoint. There were points where climbing something was actually impossible without cooking some food to extend your stamina bar or refill it midclimb.
As you progress in the game you get powerful new tools to make climbs easier, such as greatly extended amounts of stamina wheel, a certain Champion power that let's you ride the wind to quickly shoot straight up, a certain armor set that lets you quickly swim up the waterfalls that often flow across the steepest cliffs, and even an armor set that straight up lets you climb for longer. These things make you feel like you've grown as a hero and make landscape that was daunting previously exponentially easier to tread across at high speeds as you scour for secrets.
Windwaker I get, but have you even seen a map of Breath of the Wild with all the interest points plugged in? It's insane how little you have to walk from one to the next. It might feel like you're going long stretches without something, but that just means you're barreling forward and not taking the time to analyze your environment and search for the secrets all around you. I was constantly getting sidetracked from my objective when things caught me eye. Sometimes they were nothing, but more often than not they led to cool finds, and the way you could set your own waypoints on the map ensured I never got completely lost from what I was doing before I noticed such and such to check out. Oh and if you really do just wanna barrel forward ignoring everything the world has to offer, just grab a horse man.

I hear Super Mario Odyssey is pretty open and empty.
The game leaked, right? People can't be lying about it.

@Art I am a bit worried about that.

@Mbun having recently started and quitted Xenoblade Chronicles I would say that at the very beggining the world seemed interesting, but after just a couple of hours on it quickly became uninteresting and it simply seemed to be filled with terrible side quests and nothing of interest

I'm going to throw out a very odd choice, the Myst games. Hear me out. You can tackle the ages in any order, freely explore (more so in the later titles that allow free roaming) and encapsulate this barren nothingness of civilizations long past.
Ian Hinck talks up Myst Online URU Live and that is an amazing example. The world has depth and lore that is Tolkien in scale and is an absolutely blast to play, explore and just relax. Nothing can compare for me in the world of barren mystery!
@bard91 The sidequests are a bit of a grab bag. Some are great and others are trash. As for the world, there's great stuff there, you just gotta stick with it. I imagine you got tired of interior areas probably.

@Mbun nope exterior as well, as I mentioned it was cool for the first few hours, and then it was just a whole lot of nothing
@bard91 There's lots of little secret out of the way paths to find that usually lead to cool vistas, but you really gotta poke around for them.

Ian Hinck talks up Myst Online URU Live and that is an amazing example. The world has depth and lore that is Tolkien in scale and is an absolutely blast to play, explore and just relax. Nothing can compare for me in the world of barren mystery!
Good choice.

Breath of the Wild, that's my favorite for sure. I like how it's open vertically too, climb the highest mountain and paraglide down to some new unexplored territory. And while it definitely have lots of open world emptiness it still have stuff you can find in the weirdest places of nowhere because of the korok seeds.
No Man's Sky is another one. I know it's not the most popular game but I've played it for almost 300 hours so far. Love it! The freedom, the farming, the impossibly huge size. I've been playing it since the launch and the hunt for that optimal home planet to build the perfect base on may not ever end for me, whenever I start to lose the interest they patch in some new stuff or my kids point on the galaxy map and say "Lets go to that place dad!" or wants to name some animals etc. I might never put it down.

@Haru17 said in Open World games that capture the sense of emptiness:
Ocarina of Time had a sense of space and didn't force players to trudge across an unreasonable amount of empty fields or ocean. In fact the 3D Zelda game with the least distinct sense of where different locations are in 3D space is The Wind Waker because all of the geography between locations was featureless, flat ocean and all of the islands were so incredibly far off and distant for the sake of loading them in.
Of course it's still a 10/10 game like the other 3D Zeldas IMO because it had enough metroidvanian Zelda stuff buried away on those islands. But that doesn't change the fact that denser games waste your time less and TWW literally, inarguably had nothing to do while crossing the ocean and none of the few random events were procing. You couldn't even look at your map while the boat was still moving.
That's why I love OOT above any other Zelda title. It didn't really feel like a chore to get from A. to B. The game's only problem is that it was too short! :) I wanted more of OOT, than the evolutions that Zelda seem to get. I liked Wind Waker, but it felt like a chore to get from A. to B. I loved the sense of exploration in Waker, but at the same time, it was a chore. The boat section was nice, but it was also a chore. I liked that you battled a few monsters in the boat, that sense of adventure. But it required soo many tasks to get to B. I got stuck in the game because of that chore, I just gave up. I love zelda, but my patience wears thin when it's tested.

No mention of NieR: Automata? I thought that game did a good job of presenting a dead, lifeless world. Just very empty and lonely, but strangely beautiful as well. I loved sprinting through the sand and kicking up all the particles.

im not the biggest fan of open world games as their great for the first 25 hours or so but after a while becasue of their design i just get burnt out and bored. The only open wor;d game that hasnt made me feel this way was witcher 3 because instead of a random NPC giving me a quest to go kill/loot/grind for a item that said npc and his quest had a story Arc and it was enough to keep me engaged in that world and i think its the first open world game i completed the main story of.

@Winter-sMirage I totally get your argument. An empty environment can absolutely set the right tone for a game if it is used well. But there are a lot of ways that you can evoke feelings of isolation, loneliness, or desolation without resorting to wide empty spaces. Silent Hill 2 managed to make me feel alone and lost without having a huge game map. It just takes some creativity and time to think of other ways that you can establish the same vibe. Additionally, the large game maps that people complain about are the ones in Mafia 2, Burnout: Paradise, or Shadow of the Colossus. They are the Ubisoft titles that fill their maps with countless fetch quests and collect-a-thon trinkets so that their maps don't look as empty as they actually are.
But at the end of the day, I don't think the main problem is actually with the games themselves but rather how their size is advertised and marketed. I can't even count how many press releases I've read where publishers or developers brag about how much bigger their game world is but fail to mention what we can actually do in that world. Every once in a while we'll get a Witcher 3 that uses their open worlds wisely, but most of the time the space they create is just for the sake of having a large space. I feel like we're back in the "Bit Wars" all over again were people care more about numbers than content.

Sometimes the summer vacations turns adventurous. It brings you long-lasting memories. It might pave path for new beginning of a journey or a path. Jake, a free-bird, a writer, fully packed with his research, was asked to take care of his niece, Heiley and nephew, Noah by their father and Jake's brother, Daniel.
Yeah, by the way, I am talking about, Jake's vacation with Hailey and Noah in the movie "Secret Summer" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4743250/). The movie also casts the effort of a group of people, who attempt to stop the selling of a library, which is a community hall for many. Appraiser, Raichel was assigned the job of getting the papers ready for buying the library complex for building a resort and spa.
This movie shows the effort of Jack, how he is building the broken relations with his brother family. The difference between Jack and brother Daniel goes away at the end of the movie.
The last part of the movie becomes emotional. The kid, Noah goes missing. He has gone to get a possible treasure which he got to know through uncle Jake. At last they found Noah, who was digging the floor of library building. During this, he found some archeological reminaining which preserve the library from selling.
The film is a worth watching piece of work. I assure that definetely, you will appreciate this movie.

Are you lucky or unlucky? Nobody would give a clear-cut answer. The answer depends their present situation. Whether, that moment they are lucky or unlucky. Human mind always search for it perfection. Therefore, even if you don't have any problems as such, you look for some problem. In fact, it is not happening as such. Since we are not satisfied with what we have and we tries for the best, we are left with half-filled mind. A completely satisfied human being is not existing, even if he might be saint. Why I am particular about this is even those people who abstained themselves from material happiness itself are in a constant urge for becoming stable. Their constant efforts of discovering happiness outside of whatever they see itself indicates that they are not finding happiness. I am not critic of those peoples. What I want to stress here is even those who left earthly happiness are no way different from an average human being, especially in this regard.
How much I earned today and how much I targeted for tomorrow. We are all motivated like that. May be, our civilization has taught us to be competitive. We are growing up by listening and learning all those filthy stuffs in the form of education of various forms, both institutional and non-institutional. We are aimed for tomorrows and we are not living today. Even, I myself may not be quite different from others.
Earlier days, when I was worried over something, I used to reach parents. This is due to my belief that I will be relieved off the tension if I could share with somebody, especially someone very close to me. But, what would be the impact of this deed is they would become more tensed than me. Earlier, it was only me who was tensed, but because of my action I could tense my parents too. Ultimately, we all do things this. We are all tries to escape from everything, from happiness, from sadness, from enjoyment, from worries etc. We are not finding happiness anywhere. We escape from ourselves by reading, writing, traveling, worshiping etc.
We are always contradictory. We say it is good at this instant and would change our opinion at the next moment. Our creations are victims of such varied emotions. As we are not uniform by birth and living styles, our creativity also varies accordingly. The day we conquered our mind will be the day of end. A complete or perfect mind cannot stay long. The motive of our existence itself is the imperfection, that throw us in to many more problems. By finding solutions, both temporary as well as permanent, we spend each day, waiting for more challenging tomorrow. Whole of our valuable time is being spend by thinking about tomorrow and about yesterday, forget to live in present. Today's awesome moments will be better appreciated tomorrow.
Even if, we think of the futility of the way we live, we cannot change the way it progresses, because of the very fact that we are human beings.
It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite.…………Soren Kierkegaard

Eyes were enthralled to see you,
You were floating above my head,
over the sky,
Appears as black and white,
enticing the emotions,
Moving rhythmically to somewhere.
Hiding the Sun from us,
Strewed across the sky,
By seeing you,
I apprehended various shapes.
I saw angels playing on your surface,
Laughing folks and
flocks of sheep.
I was lone company of you,
Enjoying the glittering surface
of your edges,
Spending the whole day
watching your beauty,
I too disappeared myself
in you,
Stood watching and feeling jealous-
As you were free to move anywhere.
I saw the world through camera,
I saw kids playing,
Beauty of river and mountains,
I saw everything except me,
Everything gave me pose,
waiting for my click,
I zoomed the world through my fingers,
I loved to see the world outside me
through the camera lens
It stood as a barrier between me and world outside
As a third-eye it captured everything
I came across,
I narrowed down the world in to pics,
Sometimes the world outside was crying,
whereas the images were emotionless,
I got bored off seeing the motionless world,
wandered several places to find satisfaction,
Everywhere I was welcomed with
the same images,
The images to be clicked.
Sometimes, I am afraid of darkness,
Especially those fearsome nights,
When I woke up in the middle of sleep
Those nights felt lengthier than usual ones,
I was tired, but sleep was standing away
Street dogs were barking incessantly,
And the cicadas sound too rattling the ears,
Lost my patience over not getting sleep,
Switching the positions of head
My bed was placed near to window
The window was not draped
Chilled air was entering in to the room
My face was bathed by the moonlight
Stars twinkling above my head,
tickling my eyebrows,
Branches of the tree was often caressing
my window glass
The leaves appears sleeping,
Fireflies strewed across branches
Challenging the lights of the stars
As if it were dropped on earth
Everything on the earth were sleeping
Except me and those barking street dogs,
It was piercing through my ear-drums.
I was alone,
You came into my loneliness
as companion,
It was darkness,
You torched light,
Path was not clear,
You guided my to go,
I was hungry,
Your fed me with your hand,
I was tired,
You hold my hand with your palm,
My mind was empty,
You filled the vacancy,
I was unattached,
You bonded me with the world,
I was not confident,
You gave me courage.

MEPS REACT TO COMMISSION'S "FUTURE OF EU FARMING" – 29 NOVEMBERBrussels, Brussels Daily
Future of EU farming: Agriculture MEPs react to Commission's ideas
The EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) must remain truly common and well financed to be able to deliver, Agriculture MEPs told Commissioner Phil Hogan on Wednesday evening.
The debate followed the adoption by the Commission of the keenly awaited Communication on the Future of food and farming in the EU, which launched formal deliberations on the next CAP reform for after 2020.
"We don't need a [CAP] revolution, we simply need to make necessary corrections", said Albert Dess (EPP, DE) echoing what Commissioner Hogan said. But he was "a bit sceptical" over "too much of a national responsibility". The CAP "is a Common Agricultural Policy", Mr Dess stressed and warned against market distortion. He also insisted that the CAP must be properly funded. "The amount of what we spend is justified given what we achieve through it", he said.
The idea to further simplify the CAP was welcomed by Eric Andrieu (S&D, FR). Subsidiarity "is a valuable idea (…) particularly when it comes to greening" but this must be a "reform without renationalising" the CAP, he said. Mr Andrieu also welcomed measures to help young farmers and said that the support to the first installation should be made "mandatory in all member states". But he criticised lack of focus in the Communication on market-related measures.
The CAP budget must be maintained but "Brexit will have serious [budgetary] implications" and "the £50 billion" from the UK "will help only slightly", James Nicholson (ECR, UK) said. He welcomed Phil Hogan's "comments on Brussels' interference" but said that "sometimes it is not Brussels but national authorities" and "the way they implement" EU rules that creates problems.
Providing additional "room for manoeuvre" for member states "is great" but "it is important to avoid distortion of competition" on the internal market, said Ulrike Müller (ALDE, DE). Unfair competition within the EU must be avoided, she stressed.
"You say the CAP is a success story – but for whom and where?" Maria Lidia Senra Rodríguez (GUE/NGL, ES) asked Commissioner Hogan. Key words missing in the Communication are "fair prices and production regulation", she said adding that "more liberalisation and trade deals" will lead to "lower income" for farmers. She also criticised the idea that EU "needs to feed the entire World".
"The core of the [EU's farming] policy must remain European", otherwise the CAP will be implemented in too many ways, warned Martin Häusling (Greens/EFA, DE). Using new technologies is fine "but it cannot be the answer to everything", he said and called for ideas on capping direct payments for big farmers and fairer distribution of EU funding among and within member states.
"We lack a structured, consistent, long-term policy that would make us less dependent on imports", said Marco Zullo (EFDD, IT). The Commission should not "miss the opportunity" to "build the agricultural policy for citizens" instead of "multinationals", he insisted.
Farmers must be respected rather than be penalised and made subject to additional controls, said Philippe Loiseau (ENF, FR). He also criticised international trade deals: "if you want food security, you have to stop negotiating these agreements", he said.

These cookies are some of the traditional Christmas cookies my family have been making for as long as I can remember for the holidays and I really want to share these with you. I have some fond memories of helping out in the kitchen at Christmas along side my mum and grandmother and I really miss that as I've gotten older. I try to bring along some of their traditions and for me it just wouldn't be Christmas without.
Christmas is for me the time for remembering those who are near to us and loved ones who have passed away and these cookies help me to do that this time of year. So here we go...
Swedish chocolate cookies (cookies on the left)
300 grams all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
200 grams sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
200 grams cold butter
1 egg
1 egg white
Danish pearl sugar
Mix together all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and crumble it into the flour. Use the egg to make the dough stick together - it will be quit soft. Roll the dough into 6 bars with about 1½ centimetre girth and as long as your baking sheet allows them to be.
Put the bars onto the baking sheet and lightly press them flat with your palms. Brush them with egg white and sprinkle pearl sugar on top. Bake the bars in the oven at 175C (347F) for about 10 minutes.
When the bars are done cut them into diagonal cookies while they are still hot (can be done with a pizza wheel) and leave them on the baking sheet to cool of before putting them into a container.
Crispy cookie circles (cookies on the right)
250 grams cold butter
250 grams all purpose flour
50 ml double cream
1 egg
Danish pearl sugar
Cut the butter into small pieces an crumble it into the flour. Add in the cream to make the dough stick together but you mustn't knead it. Put the dough in the fridge for about ½ hour.
Roll out the dough onto a heavily flour dusted tabletop and cut out the cookies with either two glasses or round cookie cutters making the circles about 1 cm wide.
Place the cookies onto a baking sheet and brush the cookies very carefully with the egg (whisked together) and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake the cookies in the upper half of the oven at 200C (400F) for about 8 minutes or till they are golden.
Be cautious when removing the cookies from the baking sheet they will crumble or break apart very easily. Put them carefully into a container when they are completely cooled off.
Bon appetit and enjoy!

Congressional Republicans demand plan for collecting El Niño water
The Republican members of California's delegation are demanding a government plan to store the deluge of water that could come with El Niño this winter.
Fourteen GOP lawmakers will send a letter to President Obama and Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday asking for specifics about how federal and state agencies expect to capture, save and transport water.
A new federal forecast released last week showed El Niño is continuing to strengthen, with experts saying it's on track to potentially produce record rainfall across the state.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Tulare) said the governor has opposed a plan approved by the House, and the Senate hasn't proposed one of its own.
"We need him to offer up solutions," Nunes said in an interview Wednesday. "If it does rain this winter and we let it all go to the ocean again like we did three years ago, the whole state is going to run out of water. A plan is not opposing what we're trying to propose. He has a responsibility as the governor of California to come clear with what his plan is."
He said that without a plan, Brown should identify which farms and homes …read more

Plans to demolish an Angus church and replace it with a "21st Century" place of worship have been launched.
Five years ago, the kirk session of St Margaret's Church in Forfar were told vital repairs would cost £300,000, excluding any modernisation.
Decay was first noticed 35 years ago and architects began to look at options for the building and its halls in 1996.
A consensus has formed that "it would be better to demolish" the unlisted church and start again.
Original plans for a 250-seat sanctuary along traditional lines were abandoned due to a £1.65m price tag, and have now been replaced by ideas for a smaller multiple-use building.
The former West Church was built in the 1880s and merged with the old St James's Church in 1977.
Although it is an unlisted building, Angus Council planning chiefs will look at how a smaller building will affect the town's conservation area.
A planning policy statement by MBM Planning says it could be a "future distinctive landmark" and would not affect the town centre conservation area.
"The Kirk Session is of the view that rather than spend several hundred thousand pounds on the present building, it would be better to demolish it and build a new church and halls on site fit for purpose in the 21st century," it states.
"The church needs to adapt to meet the needs of not only its existing users but also to meet the needs of the future generations.
"Amongst other things this means, as a minimum, providing a warm, light, energy efficient and welcoming environment with easily adaptable size of meeting spaces that can readily meet the needs of the groups who wish to use them.
"It also means attracting different user groups on different days and times throughout the week so that the new, improved facilities are a sustainable facility that brings significant wider long term public benefits to both the building but also to the wider town centre of Forfar.
"The proposed new purpose built facilities would therefore realise these wider public benefits."

Worst-Ever Year For Cash ISAs: It's Official.
A recent article in the Daily Mail's Money Mail section (Jan 3rd, 2018) simply confirmed what every saver already knew: that cash ISA returns are, as they put it, 'pathetic'.
In fact, the article went as far as 'naming and shaming' the worst accounts, based on the Mail's annual study of more than 125 variable rate accounts. Top of the list was NatWest's Cash ISA, which paid just 18p interest on a £1000 deposit. The top seven accounts on the list all paid less than £1 interest on £1000 – and all were high street names including TSB, Bank of Scotland, Halifax, Lloyds and RBS. Each of those accounts had an interest of 0.25% or lower.
The Mail's reporter, Sylvia Morris, declared that 2017 had been the worst year for cash ISA returns since they were introduced back in 1999, and that because of tumbling rates thousands of savers had withdrawn a total of over £6.8 billion from cash ISAs in the six months to November.
So, if your savings are stuck in a poor-paying cash ISA, it's time for a re-think. But what are your options?
Transfer to an easy access savings account
This is easy enough to do, but even the best fixed rate deals pay around 1.15% – still well below the rate of inflation (so your savings are dropping in value). Higher rates are available, but usually with a catch such as a bonus that disappears after a year, or not being able to invest a lump sum.
Change your current account
Truth is, the best interest rates on the high street come from savings accounts linked to current accounts – Nationwide's FlexDirect account pays 5% on balances up to £2,500, for example. Again though, there are catches, The rates often drop after a year, and you need to deposit at least £1000 a month into the account (to qualify as a current account).
Invest in stocks and shares
Of course, stock market returns have long outpaced savings accounts, but there's always been risk attached with no guaranteed winners. Having said that, the FTSE All-World Index jumped 22% last year, making the markets a very attractive proposition. The key is selecting the right ISA provider, who can give you intelligent ISA options that minimise the risk and maximise returns.
Look at alternative ISAs
One of the best options right now is a different form of ISA – not cash, but one that qualifies as a stocks and shares ISA.

Last week the second-century insulae, or housing complexes, were presented to the public through the European Heritage Days program, in which each member country of the Council of Europe promotes new cultural assets and sites that have mainly been closed to the public.
"Over all, this is the most important ensemble of second- and third-century frescoes in the world," Angelo Pellegrino, the director of excavations at the site, now called Ostia Antica, said in an interview.
The buildings, in the western part of the ancient city, were built around A.D. 128 in a housing boom during Emperor Hadrian's reign. With demand for accommodations growing, new multilevel homes resolved issues of space and expansion. Although only the ground floors remain, evidence that buildings stood taller than one story has emerged from the rubble.
If it weren't for Ostia Antica and its multistory houses and apartments, "it would be difficult for people to imagine how people lived in that era," said Norbert Zimmermann, president of an international association for ancient mural painting.

HMRC has now published guidance in its Corporate Finance Manual on the changes to the connected party loan relationships rules which relate to debt buy-backs. A release of a debtor loan relationship owed by a company which is connected to the creditor does not generally result in a credit being brought into account by the debtor or a debit being allowed for the creditor. This treatment does not apply in certain circumstances where a company acquires a loan relationship at a discount from a third party which is owed by a company with which the purchaser is connected at the time. In these circumstances, there is a deemed release of the loan relationship in an amount equal to the difference between the third party's carrying value for the loan and the amount paid by the purchaser (i.e. the discount).
For many years there was an exception to this "deemed release" where the loan relationship was purchased by a company which was not connected to the debtor within a three year period beginning four years before the acquisition. This allowed groups to establish new companies with the sole purpose of buying in debt at a discount without triggering a "deemed release" (and corresponding taxable credit in the debtor company).
This was perceived by the Government as abusive and pursuant to two announcements, one on 14 October 2009 and one on 9 November 2009, the scope of the exceptions to the deemed release provision were narrowed with the substitution of three new exceptions: (i) the corporate rescue exception, (ii) the debt for debt exception and (iii) the debt for equity exception. Guidance issued by HMRC has clarified how HMRC will interpret the corporate rescue exception and the debt for debt exception.
The corporate rescue exception applies where there is a change of ownership of the debtor company within the year before or the 60 days following the debt buy-back (i.e. a "rescue" of some sort). One of the conditions which must be met in relation to the corporate rescue exception is that is must be "reasonable to assume" that, but for the change of ownership, the debtor company would have gone into insolvent liquidation, administration or receivership (the "insolvency condition"). HMRC will accept that this condition will be met where (i) the insolvency is avoided not only by change of ownership but by steps taken subsequently, (ii) enforcement action might have been taken against another company in the debtor's group as a result of guarantees given in respect of the debtor's borrowing and (iii) there is evidence that the insolvency condition would be met but the company has not publicly acknowledged its potential insolvency because of a need to engage in sensitive discussions with auditors and lenders over banking covenants and its ongoing status.
The debt for debt exception applies where a loan relationship is replaced, in an arm's length transaction by a new loan relationship which has the same nominal value and substantially the same market value. Loans represented by securities must be replaced by loans represented by securities and other loan relationships must not be replaced by loans represented by securities (i.e. the exchange must be like-for-like in this respect). HMRC have clarified that while the nominal value of the exchanged debts needs to be the same and the market value needs to be substantially the same, minor differences in interest, repayment and other terms will not prevent the exception applying.
Furthermore, while the legislation states that the consideration for the release of the old debt must "consist only" of the new debt, HMRC will accept that the consideration may also include an agreement to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the old debt and will also accept that the old debt can be exchanged for a mixture of shares and new debt (in which case the consideration must be apportioned – with the debt for debt exception applying in part and the debt for equity exception applying in part). Note that the main difference between (i) the debt for debt and corporate rescue exceptions and (ii) the debt for equity exception, is that a later release of debt bought back in under the debt for debt and corporate rescue exceptions will result in a deemed release (and a corresponding taxable credit) for the debtor in the amount of the discount on the original buy-back of the loan. This will not be the case on a later release of debt bought back using the debt for equity exception.
