The mark-making potential of these great BIG Gelli® combs casts an addictive spell! Count on losing yourself in hours of play as you discover how compelling it is to create different and dynamic combed patterns. You know the feeling..."just one more" — right?!!"
You'll find ideas, tips and techniques for using these new combs on the blog post, "Awesome NEW Gelli® Printing Tools!!!" from August 20, 2015.
If you've ever dragged or swiped a comb across a painted gel plate, you know it's a wonderful subtractive process that removes paint to create your image.
This video demonstration is on an 8"x10" plate. But the Gelli® combs are great for designing patterns on ALL of the Gelli® plate sizes—large, small and round. It's amazing how many effects you can create!
Here's something to try! Instead of applying paint directly to the plate and rolling with a brayer, use a paintbrush to cover the plate with quick, loose brushstrokes — blending colors as you go! It's so easy to create an artful painted layer — and perfect for swiping your combs through!
- When brushing paint onto the gel plate, a thin layer will show the beauty of your brushstrokes.
- Avoid laying down thick areas of paint, as they'll squish and print as blobs.
- Use analogous colors (next to each other on the color wheel) to avoid making mud. A color wheel is great to have on hand — and helpful for making color selections.
- Work quickly so you can comb smoothly through the wet paint.
The paint used in the video is DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics. This line of fluid acrylic paint is wonderful for creating combed patterns—and like any acrylic paint, will act as a resist to watercolor, producing impressive results. That's the technique we're exploring here!
Creating beautiful delicate colors is easily achieved by adding Media Tinting Base to any of the Media paints. And it adds body to the fluid paints. Have fun mixing your own colors and printing with soft hues.
But we're not stopping there! After the Gelli® prints are dry—make your prints sing by adding watercolors!
With this in mind, it's best to print on a paper that can handle that extra process. These prints are pulled on Fabriano Artistico Hot Press 140lb. watercolor paper. In case you're not familiar with the term—hot press paper has a very smooth surface (cold press has texture).
Rather than using traditional watercolors (although they work beautifully)—I'm experimenting with some incredible pigment powders from Lindy's Stamp Gang, called 'Magicals'. They're named so perfectly—these pigments contain mica, so they sparkle and shine! For watercolor effects, simply add water and mix the desired intensity of each color. The pale powders morph into rich, metallic colors when water is added. Magic! And perfect for adding pizzazz to a print!
Work wet-in-wet—letting the pigments run together into spontaneous color reactions. As the colors mingle, it's like watching a mystical transformation fill the blank spaces on your print!
Acrylic paint will resist the watercolors. If needed—to clean up watercolor from any printed areas—it's easy to wipe it off the acrylic paint with a damp cotton swab. So your original printed image stands out.
Something to keep in mind: For this technique, the comb should remove most of the paint off the plate where you swipe it. That's what creates the unpainted areas on your print for adding watercolors. So it helps to start with a clean Gelli® plate. If there is dried paint on your plate, you may want to clean it first.
You'll quickly discover when you start creating combed prints with the 7" Gelli® combs — it's hard to stop!! The process is fast and fun!
So make a bunch of combed prints and add watercolor! It's a quick and simple way to make each print extra-special!
Combed prints are so easy to embellish — the lines to guide you are already there!!!

Last night, Brad Pitt stepped out for the NYC screening of "Okja," which is produced by his company Plan B.
While he skipped interviews on the carpet, he received a warm reception from actress Lily Collins, director Bong Joon, and Tilda Swinton's partner Sandro Kopp, all of whom gave him hugs!
Earlier this week, he made an unexpected appearance on "The Jim Jefferies Show," poking fun at the political climate as a weatherman. He joked in his forecast of the future, "There is no future." Watch!
Over the months, Pitt has become more comfortable with public appearances since his split with Angelina Jolie, attending the premieres of "The Lost City of Z" and "War Machine."
Work aside, Pitt also showed support for musician Chris Cornell's family after his shocking death, spending time with the late singer's kids at Universal Studios Hollywood, according to EOnline.com.
Rumors were recently swirling that Pitt has called ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and "apologized for all the heartbreak," but a source close to Pitt told Gossip Cop that the story is not true.
In April, Jennifer's friend Chelsea Handler spoke out against rumors that she was interested in the divorce drama between Pitt and Jolie. She told the UK's You magazine, "I don't think Jen cares about what's going on, and it's crazy that people think she does."
It appears that Angelina and their kids will be based in Los Angeles since she reportedly bought the historic Cecil B. DeMille estate for $24.5 million, according to People magazine.

Rolling Stone put a suspected murderer on the cover of their magazine this week, and have received more press than they've garnered in years.
I'm sure they considered the backlash, and I am sure they are loving it.
I am also fairly certain they have no idea who Maurizio Iacono is.
Of course, he fronts Canadian death metal band Kataklysm.
Maurizio, like David Draiman and Trevor Phipps, is pissed at Rolling Stone for featuring Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover, like some sort of celeb.
"Rolling Stone magazine: If they had to put something, they should have put his brother's blown up face on the cover with 'this is what happens to idiots' instead they put this fucker and glorify him, looking like a rockstar," writes Iacono.
"Really? I'm not a reader of this mag, but I've known it all my life and always saw it as the pinnacle of 'if you're a musician and you make the cover of Rolling Stone, you made it big time.' It took AC/DC their entire career to make the cover of this mag because they were snubbed by them, [yet it only] took this kid some explosives and guns.
"Shooting sprees and bombing places are becoming a trend. Why? Because of the media making it so. 'I'm nobody, I'm depressed, let me blow up something, so at the very least I'll get my face on the cover of Rolling Stone. Now I'm somebody,'" he writes.
"Shame on you. I'm not putting the cover on [my Facebook page] because I dont want to contribute to this nonsense, but I want to express my anger and sadness that people lost their limbs, lives over this and here we are talking about 'how this perfect harmless kid became a monster.'
"Fuck you; I'm disgusted.
"Don't buy this mag."

New York, NY: Kim Jong Il, the leader of North Korea, traveled to United Nations headquarters today. He came to deliver a speech to an emergency session of the Security Council as to the intent of North Korea's missile launch of 5 April 2009.
Kim Jong Il addressed the Security Council, admitting that "a Taepodong 2 missile launch had taken place, but not exactly in violation of UN decrees and resolutions." He added that "a flotilla of North Korean fishing boats was innocently conducting fishing operations in the Northern Pacific Ocean prior to the missile launch."
The leader continued "these North Korean fishermen observed the Imperial Japanese Whaling Fleet (IJWF) chasing two helpless unarmed whales. These socialist heroes of the people immediately notified the Taepodong 2 missile crew to engage the IJWF, as opposed to putting a satellite into orbit."
Kim Jong Il concluded that "his fishermen, all members of PETA and Greenpeace, observed the missile parts miss the IJWF and splash down close enough to cause a distraction. The whales were able to make their escape unharmed. For this act of kindness North Korea should be applauded not scorned."
There was an eerie diplomatic silence in the council chamber, except for the raucous laughter of the five permanent member ambassadors from the USA, China, Russia, France and the UK who were doubled over at their desks.
A UN spokesperson said "the Security Council has recessed for the evening without agreeing to any North Korean sanctions."

If you can't work due to illness, should you not eat?
In II Thessalonians 3:10-12 it says if we won't work neither should we eat. I always feel bad because I can't work anymore. My wife and I are disabled and I can hardly count all the diseases I have and move only in a powerchair. Should we turn down any request to eat at people's houses or just not eat?
"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread" (II Thessalonians 3:10-12).
Paul is discussing those who will not work, not those who cannot work. The problem in Thessalonica was that people decided the return of the Lord was going to be very soon, so they stopped working altogether. Paul states that if people are determined not to work, then they should not be feed.
While there are many people who are able to work, but rather use any excuse to avoid work, you make it clear that such isn't true in your case. While there may not be a whole lot you can do, fill your time with doing productive things. Even sending out words of encouragement or going to sit with someone who is housebound for a few hours to keep them company are things that you can do to serve the Lord. The concern Paul had was that those choosing not to work end up filling their idle time with things that were sinful.

Producer Responsibility Initiatives (PRIs) have been developed for a number of waste streams, based on the producer pays principle. The waste streams currently covered by PRIs are Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), batteries, packaging, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), tyres and farm plastics.
In July 2014, this Department published a report entitled "Review of the Producer Responsibility Initiative Model in Ireland" The report was wide ranging and included segments on the existing PRIs, enforcement, competition among compliance schemes, information and awareness raising, corporate governance and potential new waste streams that might be covered by Producer Responsibility Initiatives in the future, such as Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste and Newsprint & Magazine waste.The Appendices to the Report, including 'A Packaging Levy for Ireland?' can be found here.
The report contained approximately 170 recommendations, some of which were cross cutting, while others were specific to individual waste streams. Two waste streams, End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and Tyres, were identified as priorities by the Review and work has been on-going in establishing new coherent PRIs for these waste streams.

|Ms. Barb and Ms. Woodchuck - Chris Whiton photo
This week marks the start of August, which means the summer session of the Bretzfelder Park Family Educational Series kicks off Wednesday!
Local naturalist and musician Barb Desroches begins the Bretzfelder series with her wonderfully entertaining and informative performance of Ms.Barb's Nature Songs. Barb's original music is packed with fun facts about the wildlife around us. She'll bring along her animal puppet friends to help her entertain and inform.
Barb's music is geared toward children aged 3 years and older, who will be encouraged to sing along. The fun starts at 7 p.m. this Wednesday, August1.
The explorative learning continues August 8 with a guided tour of the Wildlife Habitat Trail of Bretzfelder Park.
The 1.5-mil trail, which opened last year, was designed to provide a year-round outdoor educational venue for families and local teachers. The trail traverses several wildlife habitats, including wetland, beaver marsh, spruce-fir forest, and deciduous forest. Interpretive signs along the way describe the various habitats and the animals living there.
The Wildlife Habitat Trail was developed in a collaborative effort between the Forest Society and Bethlehem's Bretzfelder Park Committee, who work in conjunction to manage the park.
Priscilla Didio will lead the guided tour of the trail. Didio is a local naturalist and a teacher at Bethlehem Elementary School and helped design the trail's interpretive signs and develop the trail as an interactive learning activity that appeals to all ages. For more information about the trail and the tour, check The Rocks calendar.
On August 15, the Bretzfelder Series continues with a program on the Owls of New Hampshire, as the Forest Society welcomes a naturalist and live owls from Squam Lakes Natural Science Center.
The program will cover myths and facts about various owl species, as well as the habitat needs of owls. Check our calendar for additional details.
The summer Bretzfelder Series concludes August 22 with a demonstration of wild lands firefighting. District Forest Ranger Steve Sherman will lead the demonstration, with wardens from the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands and members of the Bethlehem Fire Department assisting. The firefighters will demonstrate how they use special tools, equipment and tactics to fight wildfires.
Weather permitting, the firefighters will conduct a live demonstration with a fire at the park. More information about the demonstration is on our calendar.

In October 2014, Click Consult was asked by Monster Supplements to find a creative and engaging way to bring new customers to their site whilst developing a brand proposition that could stand the test of time
Kickstart 2015 was created with a specific focus, tapping into a wide community of people wanting to make a health change after the Christmas holidays where indulgence has become a well known trait. We understood from customer research and personal experiences within Click Consult that January is a time for change, and our Kickstart 2015 campaign was an opportunity to tap into that need of the consumer.
But we went one step further. We appreciated that change can take place at any time, so we developed a strong creative and thought leading piece of content marketing that would resonate with a wider audience for a longer period of time; after all, changing your diet or the way you train doesn't just happen in the January window.
Monster Supplements helped provide expert analysis whilst our team of Outreach professionals tapped into the blogger community to find health professionals that would add their knowledge, experience and in some cases, recipes using supplements which fed back into the our clients proposition.
Popular with the health and fitness community, our Kickstart 2015 Campaign has seen it shared across different communities multiple times, helped develop SEO visibility and provide a strong core brand message that has kept Monster Supplements at the sharp end of the health supplements industry.

You'd never suspect that cup of coffee that runs $70 is made from elephant feces. But that's exactly what you will get with the world's most expensive coffee.
Rarely do things that cost this much money literally come from poo. But such is the case with the world's most expensive coffee, because it comes from elephant dung.
Black Ivory Coffee will run you about $70 per serving and is created in Thailand in the Golden Triangle. The coffee is made by feeding fruit mash with the beans to elephants, who digest and poop out the unroasted beans.
It takes three days for the elephants to digest the beans. After they have laid their droppings, workers don gloves and carefully harvest the beans from the poop. They then clean and roast the beans. To put into perspective the harsh price tag, 30 pounds of harvested beans will only produce about 1 pound of coffee.
The reason elephants are used is because they are an herbivore. When they digest the beans, they help to weaken the cellulose and make the beans sugary by imparting the fruit in the coffee pulp. Basically, the beans slowly ferment in the elephants' bellies and reduce the bitterness of the coffee while making it sweeter.
Tasters compare the taste to sweet, soft or a combination of coffee and tea. Some say it's fruity. Others say that it is chocolaty. Nobody says it tastes like an elephant's bum.
If you think that's strange, other coffee is made from poop, too.
One brand uses the Asian Toddy cat to ferment the beans, collecting them from the dung and cleaning and roasting them, selling the brewed cups for about $15.
Camocim Jacu Bird Coffee uses bird poo to bring out the flavor, and runs about $3,000 for a 130-pound bag.
Kopi luwak coffee is made from wild civet poop and retails for about $3,000 per kilogram.
Regardless the taste, whatever happened to enjoying a good old fashion cup of Kona coffee? No poop is required.

The CO-Firm, on behalf of the German enterprise's initiative for energy efficiency (DENEFF), supported by the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety uncovered why investments in climate protection measures take place (or why they do not) and what property owners need to be able to make better decisions in the future regarding climate protection. We developed a toolset of innovative projects that targets the needs of property owners and enables moving towards a sustainable building stock.
The Federal Government aims at reaching a virtually climate neutral building stock until 2050. Commercial properties – although the number is comparatively small – are responsible for almost half of building related emissions in Germany. At the same time, climate protection measures do not play an important role for this sector. In order to move towards a climate neutral transition pathway and meet the Federal Government's targets in the Paris agreement, billions of investments in the building sector and in commercial properties are necessary. This opens up great opportunities for the commercial property sector, energy efficiency sector and Financial service providers. Property owners, on the other hand, who do not invest, face great risks.
You can read the Study (German) "Climate friendly commercial properties: property owners, investment processes and new tools for more investments in climate protection" here.

How I Found a Future in My Past Lives
Our Past Lives Impact Both Present and Future Possibilities Here's an amazing – and proven – story of an Englishwoman's past life with Garth Brooks, and how recovering it changed both of their lives….
An exciting story by Jenny Smedley, from her book Ripples.
Recovering past life memories cured a deep depression – and a whole lot more!
It began 4 years ago, when I was a 45 year old, depressed and overweight housewife, who apparently had no future at all. I had no reason to be depressed for I was happily married, with a house and land in the country, and a wonderful son, but nevertheless I was, desperately so. Even my husband Tony, whom I had loved intensely for 25 years, could find no way to help me. He had become extremely concerned about me. I was also suffering from two debilitating physical conditions, an unexplained abdominal pain that had dogged me since I was about 14, and a more recent back pain. I was very nervous and suffered from several phobias too. However, everything changed for me in a moment just because one night I felt drawn to switch on the TV, and I obeyed the instinct. I saw someone on TV that night, someone I had never seen before. The most amazing instant reaction was that my depression, this blackness that had blighted my entire life, was gone. It was the most wonderful release. Some dark cloud that had been hovering over me was dissipated in those few seconds. I had no idea why this had happened, but even more startling to me was the sure and certain knowledge that the depression was gone for good this time.
I was right, there have been no more 'panic attacks', no more fear, and no more inexplicable sorrow.
The man in question turned out to be country singer, Garth Brooks, but I had no idea at this point, why the very sight of him should be a cure for this life-long recurrent depression. It didn't make any sense at all. I also made a decision overnight. I decided to be a songwriter – and amazingly, that's just what I did.
Even though I had never even attempted to write a song before, within weeks I had found and contacted a man called Barry Upton. Barry used to be in 'Brotherhood of Man', and incredibly he just loved my lyrics. Barry and I have written 3 successfully recorded songs so far, and we have an on-going partnership. By now I have had 12 songs recorded in all.
Over the next few months, the life changes continued to happen. I lost my life-long phobia of flying, amazing my husband by suggesting that we go to the USA for a holiday. I lost the abdominal pain, and the back pain, together with my fears and anxieties, and 45lbs of fat – without dieting. I had no answer for it. But finally a friend came up with one. She told me that she believed in past lives, and more that she believed I had recognized Garth Brooks from a previous lifetime. That there had been some unresolved trauma involving him, which would account both for the depression, and also for its sudden resolution when I saw him. It took her six months to persuade me to go for regression hypnosis, but when I did, I remembered living in the 17th century, in Hampshire, as Madeleine Fitzgerald, married to Ryan Fitzgerald, now Garth Brooks. It turned out that Ryan and Madeleine were tragically torn apart, and Madeleine had never known what had became of Ryan. This explained the depression – it was actually a very old grief. It also explained the lifting of that depression, because my subconscious had recognized him immediately.
I came up with a vast array of dates and facts that I couldn't have known, all of which have been independently researched and by a Senior Resource Librarian in London.
The lady, Angela Wright, has even produced a map showing that every battle and skirmish I described is accurate, even down to the location of the training camp I saw. My husband took me to the house where the family lived in the 1600s, and I was even able to tell the people there that the house had a secret room that they didn't even know about.
Eventually I wrote down all my memories in my book, 'Ripples' though I had never written a book before.
I travelled with my husband, to the USA to meet Garth Brooks – (photo available) this man from my past. I couldn't have done this had I not been cured of the flying phobia. There was an instant rapport between us. Certainly for me, and him too I believe, it was like getting re-acquainted with an old friend. I told him about my story, and he asked for his own copy of Ripples, appearing totally accepting of the whole thing – it was as if he already knew about it. From the moment I met him, and touched his hand, for me the circle was closed. It had been a long wait (4 years – or maybe 400 years).
Ryan Fitzgerald died by the sword, the entry being at the left side of his waist and downwards, just come to light, is the fact that Garth Brooks bears those same scars. He got it in a car crash, at the same age as Ryan was when he received his fatal wound. In Garth's words he was 'skewered' by a long piece of metal from the car. Was this the 20th century version of a sword wound?
Garth has also 'carried through' Ryan's phobia of deep water.
Recently, Garth appeared to re-enact an entire chapter of Ripples, when, like his 17th century counterpart, Ryan Fitzgerald, he helped fight a grass fire that had started at his neighbour's house. Garth also saved a boy, and the boy's name? Ryan.
It seems that we do experience permutations of the same events, over and over.
American Psychiatrist Bob Jarmon had an answer for my vanishing pains. The first, the abdominal pain, he believes was carried through by me to this life, through guilt at what had happened to Ryan. (That pain was also in the same spot as Garth has the scar). The second, the back pain, was, he believed, carried through for the same reason, but manifested in my back, because Madeleine De Porte committed suicide by jumping from the high rooftop of the house in Hambledon.
Life has changed so much for me it's hard to grasp it all. I have been cured of depression, become a successful author, song writer, newspaper columnist (on alternative therapies), and TV presenter, and I have changed from someone totally lacking in self-confidence, into someone who has just completed over 95 live radio interviews on USA radio stations, facing some very tricky interviewers.
The 'ripples' from this story have effected not only myself, but people all over the world who feel that they have some of their own problems explained by my book. This is the greatest thing to have come from that single moment of 'hearing' that little voice that we all too often are taught to ignore.

Today's troubles can often be sourced in the past… even the distant past… a traumatic event in a past life leaves permanent scars on the soul, scars that are visible in today's experiences… recovering one's memory of that old event can be healing and freeing….

Hands-On: Moss is pure VR magic that everyone will love
PlayStation's VR headset has been a huge hit for Sony, racking up huge sales and providing the most accessible path to top-tier virtual reality for many gamers. Because of this success, it's no surprise that PSVR was a major part of Sony's E3 2017 press conference, as Sony featured one VR trailer after another, demonstrating the bredth of gaming experiences that will be available for their headset in the coming months and beyond.
The VR title that got the most buzz coming out of Sony's show was Moss, a 3rd-person game from Polyarc (a small studio composed of ex-Bungie, Red Dead Redemption, and Dragon Age crew members). The online audience didn't know precisely what to make of the colorful title, but they knew they loved the mouse that starred in the game's trailer.
Here, just watch. You'll see what I mean.
Intriguing but a bit mysterious, right?
Going hands-on with Moss at E3 2017 gave me a much better understanding of how the game will play. It also left me convinced that this endearing VR title is a game absolutely everyone who plays it will love.
Meet Quill, your new best pal
Moss is introduced via a virtual library, and when you open the book in front of you and begin turning the pages (through simple and intuitive motion controls), you're transported into the world of the book and the proper game begins. There's a lush forest around you, and you have a few quiet moments to interact with the water and plants, all of which respond naturally to your touch. If you look down at the placid pool beneath you, you can see your reflection.
Eventually Quill, the mouse protagonist of the game, emerges and greets you. She waves, and you're going to instantly want to wave back. Quill knows "you" are there, and frequently gestures, chirps, or gives you looks as you play. It's hard to make it clear in words what a charming experience this is. Though you'll use fairly standard PS4 controls to control Quill around the 3D environments, it never really feels like you are the mouse. You're helping the mouse. You two are a team.
Puzzles, platforms, and combat
Moss is a third-person platformer presented in a style reminiscent of classic adventure games like Monkey Island or Grim Fandango, in the sense that you'll progress from one scene to the next and each will have a stationary camera view of the area, rather than a camera which follows the game's protagonist over the shoulder. In this sense, the trailer for Moss doesn't really show what it's like to play the game, but it's always a challenge to properly represent a VR title outside of VR.
The big difference between Moss and those classic titles (or other static camera experiences like the original Resident Evil) is that the player takes on the role of that camera viewpoint. You are seeing each area from a fixed point of perspective, but you can lean your head, look left and right, and even get up and move around a bit if you want (though the whole game is designed to be able to be played while seated). Chronos on the Oculus presented its action in essentially the same way, and it's an effective method to immerse players in virtual reality without disorienting them.
You control Quill's movements with an analog stick and the face buttons on the PlayStation controller, and at the same time "you" can interact with the world by moving the controller in physical space and pressing different buttons to grab, push, or otherwise manipulate objects. You'll need to reach out and pull a stone platform into place for Quill to jump on, for example, or rotate a moving staircase while Quill is on it so she can reach a higher level.
These two different control schemes felt totally natural while I was playing, and it's only now that I'm writing about it that it occurs to me that it could actually be complicated if done incorrectly (or if more challenging portions of the game require you to act with more time pressure). Quill moves, jumps, and swings her sword exactly as you would expect a character in a 3D platformer to, and you interact with the world basically just as you would in real life, so everything feels second-nature and intuitive.
Moss will feature platforming challenges and light combat, but it looks as though the game's "puzzle rooms" will be the real meat of the gameplay. In my demo I encountered a multi-stage puzzle that involved moving Quill and other objects around onto different pressure plates in the right sequence in order make progress, and the whole thing had a mechanical fantasy feel to it reminiscent of Myst or The Room (the game, not the movie).
The VR game for everyone
While the jury is still out on whether VR is safe for kids or if it makes their eyeballs melt or whatever, Moss definitely looks like a game younger VR players will love, thanks to its endearing hero, fantastic world, and accessible gameplay. Of course that's not to say that Moss is just a game for kids, because it's honestly hard for me to imagine anyone playing the demo I did and not coming away with a smile on their face.
The stationary "VR camera" presentation means this game should have essentially zero motion sickness issues for most players, and the gameplay challenges (at least in the demo I played) were just tricky enough to be satisfying without ever becoming frustrating. As a seasoned 3rd-person action and puzzle game player I don't expect that Moss will seriously tax my skills when the full game comes out, but if the rest of the experience is as colorful and entertaining as what I've seen so far it won't matter one bit.
Polyarc's Danny Bulla told me that when the team was setting out to create Moss they first considered what virtual reality does well, and the main points they came away with were "immersion" and "scale." And that's exactly what Moss delivers. You're immediately immersed in a rich fantasy environment, and your motion-controlled interactions with the world feel tactile and satisfying in a way old school adventure games were never able to.
And then you meet Quill. And she's friendly, and brave, but very small. And because it's VR, you really feel how small she is compared to you. It triggers something deep down in your brain, something in humans that makes us want to help and protect small animals. You feel responsible for what happens to Quill, and that's a very powerful thing.
You can pet the mouse
If all the puzzle solving, platforming, and combat gets a little too stressful, Moss offers a wonderful way for both the player and Quill herself to relax. By reaching out with the motion controls and holding a button, you can pet Quill. Petting will heal Quill if she's taken any damage, but it's also just a nice and fun thing to do. You can heal Quill at any time, even during combat, which is good because I don't know if I could handle being responsible for the brave little mouse actually dying.
Quill moves her head the way an affectionate cat or dog would, and you can even feel her small heartbeat via vibration feedback in your controller. I was told that if you pet Quill for too long she'll gesture for you to stop, but I just couldn't make myself test that out. I didn't want to annoy Quill.
We were a team, after all.
Moss is currently scheduled for a holiday 2017 release for the PSVR. Polyarc hasn't ruled out other VR platforms eventually, but for now they're focused on getting the game polished and ready for its PSVR launch.

CBRE Vietnam has been officially appointed by the Cau Giay Investment Trading Service Joint Stock Company as property management agency for its Discovery Complex, backdated to November 4, 2017.
The Discovery Complex is located in the center of Hanoi's Cau Giay district, the gateway to the capital's west. It is the first project to be directly connected to the nearby urban railway station and has been designed and built on a total area of 10,218 sq m and includes a 54-story residential tower and a 43- story office tower on top of an eight- story commercial center.
With its state-of-the-art, space-optimized architecture, the Discovery Complex features an unobstructed view of the area and natural lighting in the interior space.
The eight- story commercial center, with a total of 38,144 sq m of shopping space, and the 43- story Grade A office building with high-quality services and facilities, are expected to satisfy all needs. The handover process has been conducted since November.
Ms. Bich Trang, Director of CBRE's Hanoi Branch, said CBRE Vietnam is honored to be chosen to help launch operations. "We believe that by applying careful asset management that combines our operational skills with our experience, we can make a more positive impact that can help Discovery Complex become a highly-desirable address for office occupiers who are seeking a convenient workspace, as well as residents who are looking for a pleasant environment with modern facilities in the growing center of Cau Giay district," she said. "We are committed to providing great services to all at the project, to support their businesses, customers, and families so they can take full advantage of the project's location in the west of Hanoi."
In particular, the design of the mixed-use project helps ensure it can provide tenants and residents with a pleasant environment to live, work, and play. "Given these factors, we believe that the cooperation between CBRE Vietnam and the Cau Giay Investment Trading Service Joint Stock Company will be successful and long-lasting," said Ms. Trang.

The possible T-Mobile and MetroPCS merger just got more interesting. Bloomberg has reported that Sprint is considering a counteroffer to T-Mobile's bid to acquire the low-priced wireless company.
The acquisition of MetroPCS would be a gift and curse for T-Mobile. The two companies use different networks, T-Mobile using GSM and MetroPCS using CDMA. However, T-Mobile would obtain substantial market share in the prepaid market by taking MetroPCS under its wing.
Sprint is a CDMA-based network like MetroPCS, so the acquisition would be beneficial in allowing for expansion in metropolitan markets like New York City, Los Angeles, and Dallas. The 4G LTE networks of the two companies runs on different spectrums, so a merger could bring device compatibility issues and high maintenance costs for Sprint. According to Reuters, Sprint expressed interest in MetroPCS back in February with a bid of $8 billion, but Sprint declined to comment on the rumor.
Sprint, the larger company of the two, could easily outbid T-Mobile, but after the disastrous outcome of its Nextel deal, does it really want to go down that road again?

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. We found Mom's care at home until her death was so dignified and personal. Although she was on the LCP, it didn't interfere with our interaction with her in her last days and hours. I think you are right, though, about the difference between in-hospital LCP and that experienced by a loved one dying at home xx.
Liverpool Care Pathway
This is not truly a rant but it is something that has caused me to be concerned. Most of you know that I worked in care looking after mostly terminally ill people. I did a wonderful course at the local hospice that looked at every angle of death, how to help people pass away with dignity, pain-free and as little stress as possible. The course was mentally exhausting because it brought to the surface all our emotions our own fears and the fears we have for others, but it taught us all so much, it made us dig inside ourselves, not always easy to do. I found the hospice to be giving care at a level I had not seen before, amazing standards.
Towards the end of the course we were given our little books which were the handbook of the Liverpool Pathway set out as a basic guide line to achieve a pathway to a gentle trauma free death. When out in the community I then began to become aware of it, and for some families it gave them the comfort they needed to feel they had a plan to make sure their loved one died with dignity in a controlled situation.
This was not true for all families as it seemed some did not understand it and for some families they were not fully aware of their loved ones being on it often their loved ones had been put on it in hospital without the correct level of communication. I found that one case stuck in my mind, it raised the doubt that maybe it did not fully look at each patient as an individual as it should. One evening I was tending a lady who was close to death she had been floating in and out of consciousness, we were told that she was to have no food or fluids just general mouth care to keep her comfortable, she would have choked if she had been given food. As I was washing her she came around and her daughter was at her bedside she held her hand and said I would love a cup of tea, the daughter looked at me with her eyes full of fear, can I give Mum a cup of tea she said. I said, do you want to, she said with tears in her eyes, yes I really do, will she choke? I said I was not sure but I went and made the cup of tea, I came back to find the daughter just cuddling her Mum, she was so very ill, gently we gave her tiny sips of tea, little coughs came after each sip. She drank about a third of a cup, she smiled and closed her eyes she passed away 20 minutes later in her sleep. The daughter hugged and thanked me for making her last wish happen, I knew I could be in big trouble because I did not stick to the care plan but I felt it was the daughters right to be able to make that decision.
Care at all levels must be tailored to the needs of each patient, I now nurse my granddaughter who is very ill, I listen and follow my gut instinct to give the best care I possibly can. The Liverpool pathway I believe was not always interpreted the correct way, everything in life should be flexible and no way should hospitals or Doctors receive payments for putting patients on a pathway. I am glad the reviews came along and changes are coming from it, although my experience in the community was so much better than that of hospital care which is very sad.

Chinese Bamboo Tree for Day 24 Tree Tuesday
January 24, 2017
Chinese Bamboo tree or the Lucky Bamboo is one of my favorite plant because it is so easy to care for and according to Asian beliefs especially Chinese, it can bring good luck especially if it was given to you as a gift.
But before rushing to your local Asian Mart or flea market to get some, please remember that you must get them in groups and take note of their meaning:
- Lucky Bamboo Stalk – signifies, simplicity, the Chinese meaning of one is of truth or commitment.
- Lucky Bamboo Stalks – signifies good luck, and some believe two stalks will double your luck. These are also given as gifts for love and marriage.
- Lucky Bamboo Stalks – will bring happiness, success and change in life.
- Bamboo Stalks – 4 means negative, so four stalks are never given and is considered as a bad luck.
- Lucky Bamboo Stalks – associated with the Chinese five elements of water, fire, earth, wood and metal, the number five represents balance or the peace between elements when they are in balance. Signifies good life and career.
- Lucky Bamboo – signifies happines, harmony and success in life and business.
- Lucky Bamboo – No. 7 signifies overall good health
- Lucky Bamboo – the no. 8 usually signifies prosperity and wealth.
- Lucky Bamboo – signifies good luck and grants great luck to whoever receives nine Stalks of Lucky Bamboo
- Lucky Bamboo Stalks – if someone gives you a 10 Lucky Bamboo, it means that the person wants you to feel complete and perfect.

Some of the most eye-catching photos we've seen lately were snapped by photographer Trent Bell. Formerly an architect, Trent photographs commercial and residential interiors and exteriors, products – and his travel photography is simply stunning. Read on to find out about his shift from architect to photographer, getting your house photo-ready, and how he got so darn good at what he does.
- What made you want to become a photographer?

- What do you like about architecture photography?
- What's the best way for a homeowner to make their house photo-ready?
- What equipment do you use?

- Any upcoming trips planned?
- Full House or Family Matters?
What made you want to become a photographer?
I started out as an architect and actually transitioned over to an architectural photographer as it had a more constant flow of creative opportunities in the day-to-day working environment. In architecture school I actually did the school's fundraising brochure photography and really enjoyed it, but at that time I just figured it wasn't a viable option for a career. Later on in a fit of blissful ignorance I decided to actually do it! I'm incredibly happy I did but am incredibly amazed everyday at the odds that I was able to overcome to be where I am at today doing this as a living. It only took about 5 years of constant work and no income to start to make a living. ;)
How did you learn? What do you think is the best way for someone to get really good at photography? Do you recommend certain equipment to start out with?
I am mostly self-taught but I have had a few friends and acquaintances along the way that have given me tons of advice that have helped me grow by leaps and bounds. Read-read-read, get good at Photoshop, get a full-frame digital camera and a 24-70mm lens, and you will be half-way there… okay, maybe a quarter.
What do you like about architecture photography?
I like that I can plan and control the situation and work on composition and lighting. Architecture photography is the grand-daddy of still-life photography.
What's the best way for a homeowner to make their house photo-ready?
Clean as normal but most of all de-clutter to an extreme level. DE-CLUTTER. Less is more.
What equipment do you use?
trentbellphotography – In My Bag from trentbellphotography on Vimeo.
Who inspires you?
Eric Almas, Jill Greenburg… many more, but in all honesty I'm fairly unfamiliar with what/who is out there. I'm noticing things that inspire me all the time but I have a hard time remembering names.
Your travel photography is amazing. How do you go about taking portraits of strangers when you're traveling?
I find that approaching someone directly and just telling them who you are and what you're doing and what you want can work very well if you bring the right attitude. Professional, do this all the time kind of thing.
Any upcoming trips planned?
We will soon be heading to the incredibly exotic land of Michigan and possibly Wisconsin soon after!
Full House or Family Matters?

A Brief History of Psychology
Psychology is a science still in its infancy, but that doesn't mean people are only interested in human behaviour in recent centuries. Classical Chinese philosophers like Laozi, Confucius, and Mencius have been interested in matters of the mind as early as the 5th Century BCE. Laozi observed that having a 'right mind' will lead to our lives to falling in place. He also pioneered the idea of 'wuwei' (read more at: https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-28/november-2015/wu-wei-doing-less-and-wanting-more), which suggests that we should be less deliberate in the ways we lead our lives, which latter corroborates with Buddhism's core tenet that 'desire is suffering' (in modern psychology, dissatisfaction is often aroused when there is a mismatch between expectations and actual feedback). Indeed, our early human ancestors have been extremely interested in developing practical wisdom of the mind and much of these wisdom holds true by modern standards.
However, most of the psychology we know was developed mainly in the west, mainly led by Plato and Socrates. Plato suggested that our mind lies in our brain (it wasn't common sense back then!), while Socrates proposed that it might lie in our heart (to be more precise, it is the vagus nerve that plays the a part in our decisions). Plato was one of the earliest thinkers to think that the soul had several components: reason, spirit, and appetite (which almost certainly became an inspiration for Freud's psychoanalytic theory). Plato also studied human pleasures and their ranked orders, along with morality. His disciple, the great Socrates, invented what is known as the Socratic method of enquiry. While this started off as way of debate and primitive science, it later on formed the core tenets of cognitive therapy. It is as if people are already doing positive psychology before the common era even began.
Except, these ideas were not scientifically tested yet. The scientific method had yet to exist.
The study of minds remained in the domain of philosophy for an extended period in human history, but it was in the early 17th century where the field had many well documented developments, with debates that still haven't seen resolution today. It was a great period for both philosophies of mind and science. David Hume and John Locke contributed greatly to the empirical, experience-based, philosophy of science. Famed philosopher Rene Descartes suggested that the mind is a separate entity from the body, which might have influenced the separation of psychiatry (mind medicine) from neurology (brain medicine). It was also a period for the rise of many political philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, Karl Marx, and Jeremy Bentham, where their interest in politics also led them to discuss a lot about human behaviour and nature. All of these combined with the rise of existentialism (which is still a strong influence in modern psychotherapy and personality theory) led by Nietzsche and Heidegger. This era has been full of thinkers vital to the development in our collective understanding of both science and mind.
This science-mind integration first saw the birth of psychiatry. The mentally ill were not treated humanely as their illnesses stripped them of their humanity in the eyes of the public. It was also around this era that Philippe Pinel released many of these patients from their wards, which will have a lasting impact for a more humanistic approach towards psychopathology.
Neurology also experienced considerable development at this time. The early 1800s saw the birth of phrenology (nowadays largely scrutinized as a pseudoscience) by Franz Gall, who believed that the shapes of our skull can reveal patterns in our personality. Following this were studies on language brain interaction (speech production and speech comprehension are different pathways localized in the brain) by Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke. It is no coincidence that the emerging field of psychology will be close contemporaries with neuroscience, and many psychologists would too pursue a career in neuroscience.
Psychology formulated much later, just short of half a century later after the publication of Origins of Species by Charles Darwin. It is difficult to track who actually came first, but both William James and Wilhelm Wundt were the forefathers of psychology and started the first ever experimental psychology labs in their own countries (The US and Germany respectively). Wilhelm Wundt's school of thought would employ introspection and break down these experiences into smaller components, while William James would adopt a more evolutionary perspective to understand how our mental functions help us. Both schools of thought are no longer used, but both would have lasting impact on how psychology works.
Psychology would continue to develop, with different waves of perspectives emerging from different countries. Sigmund Freud will first rise as a prominent neurologist before developing psychoanalytic theory, which will inspire many others to readapt their own version of psychodynamics to better model how our unconscious works (and unfortunately, skewing the perception of psychology due to its lasting influence in pop culture).
This will eventually be took over by behaviourism, unintentionally pioneered by Ivan Pavlov and popularized by John Watson and Burrhus Skinner. This paradigm had been radical in the sense that it dismisses all forms of internal psychological works, and prefers to reduce all psychology to observable behaviour. Now again, behaviourism is no longer fashionable but its core tenets, archaic as it seems, are still capable of providing very powerful explanations in the psychology of learning.
These waves of psychology had been lacking one crucial component, which is the whole person. Psychoanalysis diminished the holistic idea of humanity by reducing humans to their unconscious, while behaviourism monolithically dismissed the need to understand the human experiences by focusing only on outward behaviors. These brands of psychology could not satisfy the desire to want to know humans better, thus coupled with the human potential movement, humanistic psychology happened. This wave is spearheaded by quite possibly the most influential psychotherapist in history, Carl Rogers. Carl Rogers believed that humans are more than the products of conditioning and their unconscious impulses, as they are capable of choosing and doubting while striving to be better. Rogers recognized that every single being has potential and is a work in progress, which a monolithic view of science will fail to notice. Psychology began to look at whole-person ideas such as motivations, while the fields of counseling and psychotherapy took a modern, non-judgmental turn.
Around the mid 20th century, an intellectual movement turned people to recognize the importance of information processing and decision, which the major waves of psychology have largely ignored. This is known as the cognitive revolution, which psychology started to use methods from computer science and artificial intelligence. American psychology start to push away radical behaviourism and start to adopt more computational models of human decisions in their research, while bringing in European psychologists who have already made some progress in cognitive psychology. Psychology mainly turned to language, memory, perception, and problem solving, which is still a mainstay in modern psychological research.
This brings us to our modern times. The mot influential area now is positive psychology, a more scientific remaster of humanistic psychology, which is now seeping into the applied areas of developmental psychology and organizational psychology. There are also resurrections of ancient wisdoms, most notably mindfulness meditation, which shows to have benefits that can survive rigourous neuroscientific testing. Overall however, psychologists no longer have rigid schools of thought (Read here for psychologists from various specializaitons https://thebestschools.org/features/most-influential-psychologists-world/). People aspiring to work with psychology will not have to subscribe to monolithic philosophy aside from aspiring to produce good science rather than trying to market ideas for personal profit.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are the proven most effective way of treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). With all of the different options, though, it can get confusing what all of these different parts due, so we'll try to walk you through some of the basics.
The most obvious part of your CPAP equipment setup is the machine itself. These machines come in a variety of types. All of these machines have the purpose of delivering pressurized air to your airway in order to prevent the instance of apneas, where your throat closes and you stop breathing during sleep. CPAP machines deliver one pressure while BIPAP and APAP have multiple pressure settings that can help those with more severe OSA. You can read more about these machine types here. Machines also contain filters. These small, usually white pads fit into your machine and filter the air intake to ensure cleaner therapy. They need to be changed in order to ensure they are doing their job to eliminate particles that could cause you irritation.
Your machine delivers air through a series of tubing. The tubing attaches at one end to your machine, and at the other on your mask. Masks fit over your nose, mouth, or both and form a tight seal to ensure you get your prescribed therapy pressure. Like machines, there are a few different types of masks to choose from. Full face masks are triangular in shape and fit over your nose and mouth. They're a great option for people who breathe from both their nose and mouth while sleeping. Nasal masks are a smaller triangle that fit only over your nose. Even smaller are nasal pillow masks that fit on your nostrils. Each of these masks is fully effective at delivering CPAP therapy, but everyone has their own preferences about which works best for them. You can read more about which mask might work best for you here.
Your mask is held on by a set of headgear. The headgear clips onto your mask and then fits around the head to hold it firmly in place even if you toss and turn. Headgear is often adjustable, so find a comfortable fit that's snug, but not too tight. You also may choose to use a chin strap if using a nasal or nasal pillow mask. These will help keep your mouth closed while resting in order to prevent air leakage.
Final Thoughts
Of course, the above outline is not a complete guide to complex CPAP equipment, but hopefully you now have a better idea of the basics. Of course, it is best to speak with your doctor to determine what is best for your individual needs.
