Pattaya Team Building ActivitiesPattaya team building activities today are growing in popularity among companies of different sizes.
Team-building activities are an integral part of any human resources strategy. This is a pretty basic principle that most companies seem to neglect or ignore completely.

Dear Friends of The Playing Field,
May has been a busy month! We took pause to honor our amazing classroom staff. We had the opportunity to share our model and mission with our state leadership. I also had the opportunity to travel and share our work in both Texas and Oklahoma.
Most importantly, our children have continued to grow and learn. They are spending more time outdoors and enjoying seeing new things springing up.
I am very grateful for each child entrusted to our care and for each teacher who chooses this amazing and often challenging work. I am also thankful for your ongoing support and interest!
Wishing you well,
Abbi Kruse
Preschool Play!
Our teachers do such a great job of building curriculum around the emerging interests of children. By watching what children are doing and listening to what they are talking about, teachers can plan experiences that are meaningful to them. This might seem like a small detail but, consider this— we all learn best when we are interested in the topic!
Our preschoolers have enjoyed watching spring begin in Wisconsin and this developed into a study of plants. Birthdays have also been a topic of interest so, the teachers included the makings of a fun party in the dramatic play area.
National Provider Day
The Friday before Mother's Day has been designated as National Provider Day, a day set aside to honor child care providers.
In recognition of our staff, several officials from our state government paid a visit to The Playing Field. These visitors included Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, State Representative, Sheila Stubbs, Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Secretary-Designee Caleb Frostman, Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Secretary-Designee Emilie Amundson, and Division of Early Care and Education Administrator, Erin Arango-Escalante.
This group came with an interest in our model for providing children from different backgrounds access to the same high quality program. They were also interested in our potential expansion and partnership with Plumber's Union Local 75.
We were grateful for their interest and kind words. It was a great opportunity to showcase our unique model for early care and education!
Teacher Appreciation Week
The first week of May is National Teacher Appreciation Week. Our administration and board members look forward to this time each year as it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our wonderful teachers and assistant teachers!
We had a lot of help celebrating our team. Staff were treated to lunch donated by local restaurant, Pasture and Plenty. Cheramy Story Arts and Marketing designed new T-shirts for us. Board members visited with treats and heartfelt thanks. Parents wrote notes of appreciation on classroom doors.
It is a joy to celebrate our wonderful teachers and assistant teachers and to recognize the important work they do in the lives of children and families.
May Travels
In the last part of April, our Executive Director, Abbi Kruse had the chance to travel to Oklahoma and Texas.
In Oklahoma City, she met with the leadership of The Uncommon Collective as they studied The Playing Field model for child care. This nonprofit helps women start businesses to better their own lives and to allow them to hire other women. They have found that of lack child care is barrier many women face in maintaining employment.
Abbi provided training on our early education model, our Conscious Discipline practices, and our funding. Our organization was glad to support another nonprofit with this training.
From there, she went to Tulsa where she met author Dr. Barbara Sorrels. We have referred many people to read her book, "Reaching and Teaching Children Exposed to Trauma." We hope to continue this relationship with Dr. Sorrels!
After leaving Oklahoma, Abbi traveled to San Antonio, Texas to speak at the National Head Start Conference. She was the opening keynote speaker for the New Director's Boot Camp. She also offered a session called, "Heart to Heart: Connecting With the Relationship Resistant Child."
This was a great opportunity to highlight our Early Head Start partnership. We are grateful to our EHS partners at Reach Dane for allowing us to dream as we started The Playing Field!
Win Ice Cream for a Year from Chocolate Shoppe!
The Playing Field is the beneficiary of a yearlong fundraiser being sponsored by Madison's Attic Angel Association, which is celebrating its 130th anniversary in 2019. The organization seeks to raise $50,000 from throughout the community to help build a sensory playground that will support children with specific needs related to early trauma.
A gift of any size will automatically be entered to win one of two Ice Cream for a Year awards from Chocolate Shoppe. Make your gift online at www.AtticAngel.org/130 or in person at the Life is a Playground! birthday event on the Attic Angel campus (corner of Old Sauk and Junction) on Sunday, July 28, from 1 to 4 pm (online RSVP requested).
As an added bonus, your gift will be doubled, thanks to a generous donor who will match every gift up to a total of $25,000! To RSVP and/or make a gift, visit www.AtticAngel.org/130.
Goods Donations
From time to time, people ask about donating used goods. While we greatly appreciate the thought, it is often not practical for us to receive such items.
The No Thank You List
Used Books – When we receive books, we have to have a staff person go through them to assure that they are culturally relevant and reflect the values of our School Family. We are also limited on storage space so, having multiple copies of each book can cause a challenge.
Clothing – Storage space is always a challenge in early childhood programs. In fact, we pay to rent storage space so that our classrooms can rotate furniture and materials. While we do occasionally see needs for clothing, we just don't have the space to store items until a need arises. When we need clothing, we post the needed item along with the size on our Facebook page.
Car Seats – Due to concerns related to recalls and expiration dates, we can not accept used car seats. We also are unable to determine if seats have been involved in an accident.
Toys – Used toys are another item that we can not receive. We may not able to confirm the appropriate age for materials. Pieces are often missing and/or broken and we must devote staff time to assessing the condition of items.
Ways to Be Helpful
Gas or Grocery Gift Cards – We keep gift cards on hand to help families during difficult times. Even cards with a small amount are helpful.
Items from our Amazon Wish List – Our teachers put items that they would like to receive on the wish list. When these items arrive, it is like a birthday or holiday celebration! (The teachers are often as thrilled as the children!)
Packages of New Underwear – New, child-sized underwear is always needed and appreciated.
Volunteer – If you have time to volunteer, there are many ways to get involved. Consider the following opportunities: Help a teacher on our next staff work day, assist with prepping classroom materials, volunteer in the office or in classrooms.

For a Sleepness Night
(Para noche de insomnio)
by Horacio Quiroga
No man, I repeat, has told, with greater magic the exceptions of human life and nature, the ardours of the curiosities of convalescence, the close of seasons charged with enervating splendours, sultry weather, humid and misty, where the south wind softens and distends the nerves, like the chords of an instrument; where the eyes are filled with tears that come not from the heart; hallucination at first giving place to doubt, soon convinced and full of reasons as a book; absurdity installing itself in the intellect, and governing it with a crushing logic; hysteria usurping the place of will, a contradiction established between the nerves and the mind, and men out of all accord expressing grief by laughter.
We were all surprised by the fatal news; and we were left terrified when a servant brought us–flying– details of his death. Although for quite some time we had noticed signs of instability in our friend, we didn't think that it could ever come to this extreme. He had carried out the most dreadful suicide without leaving a memento for his friends. And, when we had him in our midst, we turned our faces away, prisoners of a horrified compassion.
That wet and cloudy afternoon intensified our feelings. The sky was a dull gray, and a gloomy mist crossed the horizon.
We transported the body in a carriage, crowded together by a growing horror. Night was approaching; and through the badly closed door a river of blood fell, tracing our path in red.
He was lying on our legs, and the last light of that yellowish day fell full on his face, violet with bruise-like patches. His head tossed from one side to the other. At each jolt of the cobblestones, his eyelids opened and he stared at us with his glassy, hard, and misty eyes.
Our clothes were stained with blood; and with every jolt a slimy cold drool dripped from his lips onto the hands that supported his neck.
I don't know what caused it, but I don't think I'd ever felt so disturbed in my life. At the mere contact of his stiff limbs, I felt a chill over my whole body. Strange superstitious ideas filled my head. My eyes stared at him with a hypnotic fixity, and in the horror of all my imagination, I thought I saw him open his mouth in a hideous grimace, pin me with his gaze and leap upon me, filling me with cold and curdled blood.
My hair stood on end, and I couldn't help but give a cry of anguish, convulsive and delirious, and throw myself back.
In that moment the dead man slipped from our knees and fell to the floor of the carriage, where it was as black as night. In the darkness we clutched each others' hands, trembling from head to toe, without daring to look at each other.
All our old childhood ideas, absurd beliefs, came back to life in us. We lifted our legs onto the seats, unconsciously, full of horror, while on the floor of the carriage the dead man jolted from one side to the other.
Little by little our legs began to chill. It was a cold that arose from the floor, that coursed through our bodies as if death were spreading in us. We didn't dare move. From time to time we would lean towards the floor, and remain staring for a long time into the dark, with our eyes frightfully open, believing that we saw the dead man sitting up with a delirious grimace, laughing, watching us, sending death into each one of us, laughing, putting his face close to ours, in the night we saw his eyes shine, and he laughed, and we remained frozen, dead, dead, in that carriage that drove us though the wet streets…
We found ourselves again in the parlor, all gathered, seated in a row. The casket had been placed in the middle of the room and they had not changed the dead man's clothing, because his limbs were already very stiff. His head was slightly elevated, with his mouth and nose stuffed with cotton.
On seeing him again, our bodies trembled and we glanced at each other stealthily. The room was full of people crossing at every moment, and this distracted us somewhat. Only from time to time, we watched the dead man, bloated and greenish, stretched out in the casket.
At the end of half an hour, I felt someone touch me and I turned around. My friends were pale. There, where we were, the dead man watched us. His eyes seemed larger, opaque, terribly fixed. Fate had brought us under their gaze, without us realizing, as if uniting us with death, with the dead man who did not want to leave us. The four of us were left weak and fearful, immobile before the face that from three steps away was turned towards us, always towards us!
It was four in the morning and we were completely alone. Instantly fear overpowered us again.
First a trembling stupor, then a desolate and profound desperation, and finally a cowardice inconceivable at our ages, a precise premonition of something awful that was going to happen.
Outside, the street was full of mists, and the barking of the dogs prolonged itself in a mournful howl. Those who have kept vigil over someone and suddenly realized that they were alone with a corpse, excited, as we were, and have suddenly heard a dog cry, have heard an owl scream in the dawn after a night of death, alone with him, will understand our distress, already affected by fear, and with terrible doubts at times about the horrible death of our friend.
We were alone, as I said; and, after a little while, a muffled noise, like a rapid mumbling, traveled around the room. It came from the casket where the dead man lay. There, three paces away, we saw him clearly, his chest rising with the cotton packing, horribly pale, watching us steadily and sitting up little by little, leaning on the edges of the casket, while our hair stood on end, our brows were covered in sweat, while the muttering became louder every moment, and a strange laugh rang out, extrahuman, like vomiting, stomach-churning and epileptic, and we got up desperately and began to run, horrified, crazy with terror, closely pursued by the laughter and the steps of that dreadful resurrection.
When I arrived home, opened the door of my room and pulled back the sheets, still fleeing, I saw the dead man, stretched out on the bed, turning yellow in the early morning light, dead along with my three frozen friends, all stretched out on the bed, cold and dead.

Since you use real onions, it's hard to do. Very often the gallows are in such places that you have no chance of making a mistake. Sometimes, the victims panic and twitch on the rope, which greatly complicates the process of hitting the arrow in the rope. If you get an arrow in the head of the victim, then you lose, because this person will die. In addition, you must do everything quickly, because the victim ends the air and it can suffocate.

At my old job I used to have this group of coworkers I had Friday lunch outs with. Inevitably, every Friday around noon someone would message the others asking "where are we eating?". Now, there are a lot of good places to eat around the area and we've all been working there a while so most of the time we don't care where we eat and we'd say we'll decide when we get to the elevators. We get to the elevators but we're still not sure where to eat. So we take the elevators down and we'll figure it out downstairs. What often happened is that we ended up walking around, wasting time and eventually just choosing a place at random. It was a weird sort of decision-making.
Decision making can be tough, especially for big, complicated decisions that need to be evaluated on multiple axes. Buying a house, choosing a new job, and yes, even where to have lunch, these are all examples of possibly tough decisions.
Ideally, you are able to put forth a set of requirements for your decisions and then you check which among the available options best fulfills the requirements. Sometimes that approach is insufficient. It can be because you are lacking information or have too much information or have too many choices or none of the choices are acceptable or you are unable to properly evaluate the trade-offs between different criteria, or maybe even that your subconscious has a set of "secret" requirements that you are unable to formalize.
Some notes I've kept on decision-making:
- Spending too much time on decision-making is a cost. Be aware if there is a time limit to your decision making.
- For most things, decision-making should be quick and easy. Minimize decision making for unimportant (read: low cost or low impact) stuff. For example, remembering passwords. Either use an app or a scheme so that you don't have to decide or try to remember what the password for each site is. "Don't sweat the small stuff."
- It's okay to use your guts or emotions to make an initial decision, then validate if it's okay using more empirical criteria. If your emotions don't lead anywhere, measure and use data, pros/cons to determine best course of action
- Understand the difference between an acceptable choice and the best choice. It may be easier to settle merely for a choice which is acceptable rather than spending extra time to try to find the best choice.
- Not making a choice is also a choice. Sometimes not all the choices will satisfy your standard or requirements. Don't forget that abstaining or deciding not to do anything can also be a valid choice.
- If you're having trouble choosing between some options, that means they are mostly within an acceptable range for you (if any of the options was flat out unacceptable you would have rejected them on the spot). In that case, just choose one at random (literally roll a dice if you can't decide) and go. If it turns out later that it wasn't the best choice, figure out if there was any information that would have helped you, take note of it for next time.
- Be careful when making big purchases. Even if you have already made a decision, you may want to delay it a bit for really big amounts to give your subconscious some time to ponder it. (This is really more about money management than decision making… but I had it in this list so here you go)
- In moments of self-doubt, ask other people for advise. It can be friends and family or even random strangers on the internet.
Back to the lunch out story. Some years later, a different lunch group (that I was occasionally a part of) thought of a better approach: they set up an automated email that got sent out to the members around 11:30am. The program would choose at random one of the nearby places to eat, making the decision for the group. If anyone objected to the randomly selected choice, they bore the responsibility for providing the new choice.
Life is too short to waste on poor decision making.

Tucson musicians join Tucson Rocks with a visual art exhibition
November 4, 2011
The Tucson Pima Arts Council will present an exhibition of artwork by artists whose primary occupation is music.
The exhibition titled "Vinyl to Canvas" will include artwork by seven Tucson musicians who are also visual artists.
The show will be on display in the lobby and adjacent conference room of the historic Pioneer Building at 100 North Stone Ave. from Nov. 7 through Dec. 23. An opening reception with musical performances will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
The TPAC show was inspired by the Tucson Museum of Art's current photographic exhibition "Who Shot Rock and Roll." The artists featured are:
– Howe Gelb, winner of a 2010 MOCA Genius Award, has been producing music in Tucson for many years as Howe Gelb or Giant Sand. Less known are his abilities as a visual artist.
– Al Perry, another Tucson musical legend, is also an illustrator. In a recent solo art show, he sold out a series of watercolor paintings and drawings.
– Gabriel Sullivan, one of the rising stars of the Tucson music scene, for many years has used his graphic design skills to illustrate posters, flyers and album covers.
– Chris Black, another artist/musician, will release an album later this year in which every song is accompanied with a work of visual art. His charcoal drawings are as provocative as his musical projects, including "Chamber Lab" and the underground series "Ashes of Love."
– Dimitri Manos of Golden Boots and Dr. Dog brings his brush to bear on album covers and flyers for local and national musical projects.
– Emilie Marchand is Tucson's own New York art scene. Originally from upstate New York and trained as a photographer, Emilie challenges conventional notions of what it means to be a woman with projects in music, fashion, performance and photography.
– Tom Walbank, curator of "Vinyl to Canvas," was trained as a comic artist. For the past decade, he has married his love of music and visual art in illustrations of blues musicians and blues folklore.

When: Sun., May 1, 8 p.m. 2011
Just last month, All Things Considered (on that wicked NPR) highlighted 28-year-old Tristen, a folk-pop singer out of Nashville. The story mainly considered the schism between pop hooks and smart writing, with the eventual conclusion that Tristen actually delivers both. After listening to "Baby Drugs" and "Matchstick Murder," I've gotta say she does, and more likably than the dramatic song names would betray. Those 21 and up can catch her at 8 tonight at the Triple Nickel Tavern (26 S. Wahsatch Ave., 555nickel.com) with Edith Makes a Paperchain for $5. — Edie Adelstein

The EVOLVE manual pipette features three adjustable dials to rapidly set volumes. This revolutionary approach reduces repetitive stress injuries and allows users to set volumes in a fraction of the time it takes with a traditional manual pipette.
EVOLVE pipettes together with INTEGRA's wide range of GripTips form a perfect pipetting system. GripTips snap into place with minimal tip loading effort, providing a secure connection. GripTips never fall off and are perfectly aligned, ensuring the precise touch off of fluid resulting in superior pipetting performance.
Two unique plunger springs allow users to customize the plunger force to their preference. This option allows users to slow the aspiration and dispense speeds resulting in improved pipetting technique and results. The controlled plunger spring option is compatible with all single channel evolve pipettes except the 5 ml model. Changing the spring is completed in seconds. The ultra lightweight, well-balanced design of the pipettes provides unsurpassed ergonomics even during prolonged pipetting sessions.
Adjust volumes more than ten times faster
Unlike traditional pipettes which utilize a single rotating plunger to set volumes, EVOLVE features one dial for setting each of three volume digits. This is the same convenient method used to unlock three dial combination locks. This revolutionary approach allows users to set volumes more than ten times faster than standard manual pipettes. Simply depress and twist the plunger to release spring tension from the volume dials. This allows users to freely adjust all dials in either direction. Once set, twist and return the plunger to the up positon. Volumes set on traditional manual pipettes can often change while pipetting due to unintentional plunger turns. The EVOLVE Quick Set Dial design prevents inadvertent volume drift due to plunger movements while pipetting.
Do your pipette tips ever loosen, leak or fall off? This is a common issue in laboratories, caused by the use of universal pipette tips. Such tips require "hammering on" which distorts the shape of the pipette tip rim. The distorted pipette tip rim immediately starts moving back to its original shape, away from the tip cone. This can cause leaking, unaligned tips and even pipette tips that completely fall off the pipette!
This will never happen with any EVOLVE pipette / GripTip combination. Featuring a low attachment force and a low ejection force; GripTips effortlessly snap onto the tip fittings and are easily ejected. Also, GripTipsfeature a high lateral resistance once attached to EVOLVE pipettes. This means GripTips are always firmly attached and perfectly aligned, regardless of how many side well touch offs are performed. You no longer have to hammer your pipette tips onor worry about pipette tips falling off!
Linear stand and shelf hook options
Storing pipettes upright is important to prevent liquid or debris from entering the tip fitting. Proper storage also extends the life of a pipette. The INTEGRA linear stand is ideal for hanging EVOLVE pipettes up off the lab bench. Up to twelve manual pipettes can be placed on a linear stand. EVOLVE shelf hooks are also available for proper storage
Users can add up to four charging/communication stations to convert the linear stand into a charging option to charge any INTEGRA electronic pipette. A mains adaptor is also required to convert the linear stand into a charging stand.
Since 1965, Integra has been committed to addressing the pipetting and media preparation requirements of various organizations in research, medical, and quality control industries. Integra delivers high-precision, accurate and reproducible results with product offerings including manual and electronic pipettes, pipetting accessories, aspiration systems, peristaltic pumps, media preparation supplies, and microplate dispensers.

It would, perhaps, be unfair to say that the VR bubble has burst, because from where I'm sitting, it looks as though the bubble has barely left the niche market that spawned it. Yet, with so many headsets now sat gathering dust in closets and display cabinets around the world, is it time to finally admit that VR was an interesting fad that never found its audience? Or is it simply taking a little longer to find its foothold than first thought? 2016 was heralded by many in the tech sector as the 'year of VR' and then, when that didn't happen, that mantle was passed to 2017, but, aside from the widely praised release of Resident Evil 7 back in January and a few nifty marketing stunts, 2017 has been a quiet year at best for virtual reality. Research consultancy CSS Insight has admitted that it had vastly overestimated 2016 VR sales when it revised its figures from an expected 2 million units down to 1.2 million, with chief of research, Ben Wood ,recently remarking: "There's no doubt that dedicated VR headsets can be a tough sell." You don't say.
Basically, the VR industry is floating when it should be soaring. Oculus' decision in March to drop the price of its Rift headset and Touch controller bundle from $798 to $598 is not the sort of thing a company does when its products are flying off the shelves and Facebook, which owns Oculus, also announced last Thursday that it would be shutting down Story Studio, its VR production unit. Jason Rubin, VP of content at the studio, said of the closure: "We're now entering the next chapter of VR development, where new creators enter the market in anticipation of adoption and growth, and we've been looking at the best way to allocate our resources to create an impact on the ecosystem. After careful consideration, we've decided to shift our focus away from internal content creation to support more external production." That sounds to me like an incredibly political answer.
Triple A Gaming
The one area where VR appears to have reached a plateau is the world of gaming, which is arguably the platform with the most to gain and/or lose. The three major players; the PSVR, the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive, have (through necessity rather than design perhaps) priced themselves outside the reach of most casual gamers, so, for the foreseeable future at least, serious VR gaming will be the sole pursuit of the core gaming crowd. I myself own a PSVR though, and honestly, since I finished the aforementioned Resident Evil, i've barely touched it. This is for two reasons; a lack of genuinely engaging, reasonably priced software and the sheer inconvenience of the thing. The first point can be easily rectified over time, but the second... not so much, at least until the technology improves.
The fact remains that full-blown VR gaming is (right now at least) an incredibly bulky and time consuming pursuit. There's no 'pick up and play' appeal. Indeed, to even consider booting up the PSVR I have to first make sure my girlfriend is happy with my essentially taking over the living room, then I have to clear out the coffee table, position the camera, wipe the lenses, get comfortable, put on my headphones, tighten my headset and then go through the calibration process. Sometimes, the experience is worth the effort, but I'm a 31 year old man with a job and a mortgage with precious little spare time, and most of my fellow VR owners fall into the same bracket, because younger millennials (by-and-large) won't be able to afford it and baby boomers (by-and-large) don't give a shit.
Software could also be a real problem for VR gaming going forward. In a similar manner to the Nintendo Wii, the technology appears to lend itself to piss-poor 'shovelware' titles that have little substance and demand a hefty price tag. This is less of a problem with the PSVR, as Playstation has rather strict quality control measures in place, but the Oculus Store and Steam VR are a little more liberal with what they allow to be published, and some of it is just reprehensible. What VR gaming, and by extension, VR as a whole, really needs, is 'killer apps' that really show off what the medium is capable of. In the world of gaming, this means titles that are more than gloried tech demos (the upcoming Fallout 4 VR could be a good start), but in the wider world of VR, this could mean anything that uses the technology to do achieve something that would be impossible any other way.
Very Real Estate
One recent application that could really turn those headsets is the real estate market. With the right tools, prospective buyers could be taken on virtual tours of seller's homes, making the traditional ball-ache of house viewing (a pain I know all too well) potentially obsolete. The tech is already being trialled by a number of companies, and allows buyers to view an unlimited number of properties in a small window of time that would have otherwise taken days or weeks out of their calendars. The trend actually landed the second spot on the "Forbes 23 Bulletproof Real Estate Marketing Ideas" published earlier this year, with Forbes citing the use of 3D Matterport technology, which offers an entirely realistic representation of a potential home, as a must for staying ahead in the property marketing sector. The use of VR in property is already being valued as a $1 billion industry globally too, with Goldman Sachs estimating this figure will have trebled by 2020.
Music Videos
The success of recent online 360 music videos by international pop acts like Gorillaz underlines the potential of the platform when it comes to immersive entertainment. David Mogendorff, artists relations manager at YouTube, worked with Gorillaz on the ground-breaking video for their track Saturnz Barz, the world's biggest VR video release to date. Such was the fervour around the innovative video release that it picked up a record-breaking three million views in its first 48 hours. It has now passed 8.25 million views. And according to Mogendorff, its popularity is just the latest indicator that music fans are increasingly seeking music content of a more immersive, technologically advanced nature. The music industry has always led the way when it comes to technological innovation though, so this is hardly surprising. Even Mogendorff, however, who is clearly a dedicated advocate of the benefits VR has to offer the music industry, insists that artists and labels should proceed with caution. He explained, during an interview with Music Week: "My advice to people doing 360 or VR content would be: does it need to be in VR? What is that going to bring to it that it's not going to have otherwise? Similar to live streaming, are you going to use the technology because it has a purpose or because everyone else is doing it and it sounds like the kind of thing you should be doing? If it has a purpose, it's definitely worth it but it took a huge amount of expertise and skill to make the Gorillaz project so good." So basically, if it doesn't need to be VR, don't force it. Which leads us neatly to...
Social VR
Despite the fact that VR could be argued as the most isolating piece of technology ever created, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains convinced that isolating people behind high-tech blindfolds can be an appealing social experience. At the social network's F8 developer conference last month, Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of his company's first social virtual reality product, Facebook Spaces. Head of social VR (yes that's a job) at the company Rachel Franklin, took a turn on stage trying to sell the concept that VR can be a social experience. She explained: "VR is is technology that gives us something that no other technology has before, a magical feeling of presence, the sense that we're really there together, even when we're apart. Because of this, VR is a naturally social platform." Personally, I'm not buying it. I love VR, truly, but I've also never felt more isolated than when I pull on my PSVR or my Samsung Gear. Maybe the key to social VR is smaller, more convenient, wireless headsets? Or maybe we should be looking elsewhere for the next big thing in social technology. Speaking of which...
The AR Factor
Many of the same industry heads that were heralding VR as the best thing since high definition appear to have shifted their allegiances to artificial reality (AR) in recent months. It was evident at F8, for instance, that Facebook now expects that potential will be realised in augmented reality, which can be done using smartphone cameras, without exiling people from actual reality. AR is more flexible, more affordable and more social and the overwhelming success of Pokémon Go, not to mention the various marketing applications it affords, means that, for my money, AT is what will own the immediate future, whilst VR continues to be a remarkable oddity, beloved by the few (myself included), but misunderstood and shunned by the masses. So has the VR bubble burst before it's had a chance to grow? No, I don't think so. I think it just needs a little more time to really figure itself an its audience out. It's a bit of a shame, but I hold out hope that in a few years, when the technology is more affordable and more streamlined, VR will finally have its day in the sun.

H&H Kia is always trying to reach out to a younger audience, as that is the Kia manufacturer target, specially since the Kia Sportage came out. So we needed to come up with videos that would live both on TV and online, help H&H appeal to that younger audience, and subsequently increase the number of new cars sold,.
We created a series of monthly TV and online videos/spots that broke out against the norm of car dealership ads. In these videos, we featured "talking" vehicles. Those vehicles bantered back and forth and announced the monthly deals going on at H&H Kia. The dialogue (or monologue) was playful and silly, helping us appeal to that younger audience.
Overall, this approach was deemed very successful. Online our CTR was 2.38 percent (compared to the industry standard of 1.49 percent) and our completion rate for a :30 video was 37 percent (compared to the industry standard of 19 percent). More importantly, total foot traffic and new car sales were up significantly year-over-year.

Many people underestimate just how vital good digestive health is to our overall wellbeing, and often only pay attention when something goes wrong. Accredited Practising Dietitian Bobbie Crothers has five golden rules to make taking care of your digestive health easy.
Taking care of our digestive health is crucial – a healthy digestive system can help minimise the risk of developing serious diseases, such as bowel cancer, as well as help to avoid stomach pain and bloating. However, what you might not realise is that good digestive health also impacts on many areas of our general day-to-day lives.
Unfortunately, many of us don't think about our digestive health until things go wrong. It's not until we find it difficult to go to the toilet, experience excessive bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, a bout of diarrhoea – or worse – that we find ourselves at the doctor. So, how do you proactively manage your digestive health? Here are the fundamentals broken down into five simple rules so you can get started today.
Dietary fibre is a must when it comes to taking care of our insides. Many of us are still not getting enough in total, or are not getting the right types, according to a new roundtable report on diet and bowel health developed with the help of experts from CSIRO and The Gut Foundation. In fact, the key outcome from the report is that different fibres do different things, and are more effective in combination than individually when it comes to promoting digestive health. This makes it important to not only boost your total fibre intake, but to get a mix of different fibres in your diet.
The three main types of fibre are soluble fibre; insoluble fibre; and resistant starch.
Soluble fibre slows the time it takes food to pass through the stomach and small intestine, which helps with the absorption of nutrients. Soluble fibre is found in oats, barley, psyllium, fruits with the skin on, vegetables, legumes and fibre supplements such as Metamucil or Benefiber.
Insoluble fibre speeds up the time it takes for waste to move through the large intestine, which helps to produce larger, softer stools, increases the number of trips to the toilet and reduces the time toxins stay in the bowel. Insoluble fibre is found in wheat-based cereals, (especially those with wheat bran), pasta and quinoa.
Resistant starch is fermented by good bacteria in the large intestine, which produces short chain fatty acids (a type of fat) that are important for the health of cells in the bowel. Resistant starch is found in legumes, firm bananas, and cold, cooked pasta and potatoes.
Many food products that contain good amounts of different types of fibre will list the 3 different types separately on their nutrition information panel. Currently there are no specific guidelines on what the right mix of fibre is, so you should try to eat a variety of the foods listed above. Ensuring you get enough total fibre in your diet is still key: men should aim for at least 30g per day, and women, for 25g. To help you, we've put together some examples of foods and the total amount of fibre they contain.
The recommended daily intake for fibre (total) is 30g for men and 25g for women.

There are around 10 times as many bacteria in the large intestine as there are cells in our bodies. That's a lot of bugs when you consider our bodies are made up of more than 10 trillion cells.
While the role and the benefits of these good bugs are not entirely understood, we do know that having the right balance of good bugs in our digestive system is important for digestive health. Here are a few things we do know about why these bugs are so important:
To tip the balance towards good bacteria, there are two things we can do. One is ensuring our diets are high in dietary fibre (especially resistant starch) as it promotes their growth. The other is to include foods in our diets that contain these bacteria, otherwise called probiotics. Probiotics are most commonly found in yoghurt and probiotic drinks. You can also take probiotic supplements, such as Inner Health Plus. While probiotic supplements are a convenient way to get more of these good bugs, you get added nutrients when you choose a probiotic yoghurt instead – calcium, protein and B vitamins to name a few! But if you want a top up, have recently taken antibiotics (which can kill off the good as well as the bad bugs when we're sick) or had a bout of diarrhoea, probiotic supplements can be a good addition to your diet.
A recent survey conducted by the Grains and Legumes Nutrition Council showed an alarming decline in Australians' consumption of grain-based foods such as breads, breakfast cereals, rice, pasta and noodles. It showed Australians mistakenly believe the recommended intake of grain-based foods is only 2.5 serves per day, when it is actually a minimum of 4 serves per day. This finding is of significant concern, as it is grain-based foods and the fibre they contain that play a key role in keeping our digestive health on track. The finding could be partly due to the prevalence of headlines in recent years linking low-carbohydrate diets to weight loss – which can encourage people to unnecessarily cut carbohydrates, such as grains, from their diet.
Another common example is wheat, with many people deciding to cut it from their diet in the hope of gaining relief from their digestive problems. However, unless you have been diagnosed with coeliac disease or an intolerance, banning wheat from your diet isn't recommended without consulting a doctor or dietitian. Wheat, and in particular wheat bran, is high in insoluble fibre (see point 1. above). Eliminating wheat from your diet limits grain-based foods and makes it harder to get the fibre you need. The same is true when it comes to avoiding high-carbohydrate foods at breakfast. Around 1 in 4 of us skip breakfast, despite it being a key opportunity to boost your fibre intake.
"To meet the adequate intake of fibre for a healthy digestive system, breakfast is a very important meal", says Gut Foundation dietitian Katherine Collings. "If you don't have a good source of fibre at breakfast it's very hard to reach the suggested intake through your other meals".
A bowl of your favourite high-fibre cereal with skim milk and yoghurt, or a couple of slices of wholegrain or rye bread as part of your breakfast will give you a head-start on your fibre needs.
Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated helps maintain digestive health. During digestion up to 10 litres of fluid enter the digestive system; 2 litres from the foods we've eaten, 2 litres from stomach juices and another 4–5 litres from the liver, biliary system (gallbladder and bile ducts), pancreas and secretions from the small intestine. While most of this fluid is reabsorbed into the body, it shows how important fluids are for healthy gut function.
The exact amount of fluids we need depends on individual body size (both height and weight), the temperature and how active we are. A good guide is around 1.5–2 litres (approximately 6–10 glasses) of water a day. Try to drink enough so that your urine is very pale yellow or almost colourless, except for first thing in the morning when it's usually a darker yellow colour. The fibre in your diet also absorbs water during digestion, so as you increase the amount of fibre you eat make sure you are getting your 1.5–2 litres of fluids a day. Along with plain water, you can also count other fluids such as tea and coffee as part of your daily fluid intake, but water is best.
It's no secret that diet and lifestyle habits affect your general health and wellbeing, but you may not have considered how some factors affect your digestive health. Smoking, alcohol, caffeine, high-fat foods and even stress can all have a negative impact on the digestive system. Research also shows having a higher body mass index (BMI) is linked with digestive health issues such as abdominal pain and bloating. On the other hand, studies have shown being active and eating plenty of fruit, vegetables and other high-fibre foods is linked to fewer digestive health issues.
We've listed some of the more common factors that can cause digestive issues in some people without them realising what the cuplrit is. Identifying whether any of these may be a problem for you could also help you to better manage your own digestive health.
Many of us experience a predictable trip to the toilet after our morning coffee. This is because caffeine is a stimulant. It's great for perking us up, however it can also have a stimulant effect on the bowel, causing digestive discomfort and loose stools, says Collings. She recommends monitoring how much caffeine you consume. If you find coffee upsets your system, try herbal tea or decaf.
Smoking also acts as a stimulant, which can cause muscle contractions in the wall of the bowel, leading to loose stools or diarrhoea.
Alcohol acts as an irritant in the gut. Even a small amount can cause changes in bowel habits and the consistency of stools, says Collings.
Ongoing stress can have an effect on our digestive system, and cause symptoms like diarrhoea and nausea.
Foods high in fat can also impact the digestive system. "Fat in any form may have an impact on muscular activity of the bowel and can cause pain and bloating", says Professor Terry Bolin from The Gut Foundation.
*These are just a few specific foods – remember to include plenty of fruit and vegetables and high-fibre grain-based foods in your diet every day.
Five warning signs that things are not right, and when to see your doctor:
For more information on digestive health, head to www.gutfoundation.com.au.
Stomach: The first stop after the oesophagus. The stomach muscles churn food and acids help to break it down before it moves into the small intestine.
Small intestine: Food continues to break down and nutrients are absorbed into the blood. Fluid and fibre pass through to the large intestine.
Large intestine: Consists of the colon and the rectum. The colon is where the breakdown of fibre and re-absorption of water occur, and where waste is stored until it is transported out of the body via the rectum and then the anus.
Bowel: The bowel includes the small intestine, the large intestine and the rectum.
Anus: Where waste exits the body.

Diann Bauer
Honorary Mention Collide International 2018
Bauer's independent work focuses on questions of time, in particular the disjunction between our experience of it and how it appears to function (or not) at scales beyond the human, through a range of media including video, installation, drawing and sculpture.
Bauer studied art and architecture at the Cooper Union and has an MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, London. She has screened and exhibited internationally including at Tate Britain, the ICA and The Showroom, London; The Sharjah Biennale 13, UAE; The Busan Biennale, Korea; Deste Foundation, Athens; and The New Museum and Socrates Sculpture Park, New York.
Her work 'Scalar Oscillation' (2018) explores the idea of time and how is understood in the contemporaneity. Through the use of text, graphics, animations and immersive sound, Diann Bauer, in collaboration with composer Seth Ayyaz, aims to discuss and project the notion of time and scale at a fundamental level, and in doing so, highlight how these realities are completely exotic to us as humans.
'Scalar Oscillation' (2018) is co-produced by ScANNER (Science and Art Network for New Exhibitions and Research) founded by Arts at CERN, FACT Liverpool, CCCB Barcelona, Le Lieu Unique Nantes and IMal Brussels.

Praise For Pig-Headedness
Student-led civil disobedience is underfoot at Success Academy High School for the Liberal Arts, a Potemkin Village-like showcase in the private charter school empire of Eva Moskowitz. "Civil disobedience" is an expression that is practically axiomatic with "social justice" causes that are generally conceded to be worthy.
In this case, the protest may not be as well-founded. Its focus is the compulsory summer workload that is being imposed on students during the traditional period of loafing known as summer vacation. The students were assigned the reading of 5 books, including volumes oif a topical and contemporary appeal and borderline classics on a fairly high literacy standard. Additionally, the "scholars" were required to complete 15 SAT assignments each week and one math test every week of the hiatus. They must also take part with their peers in online discussion of the assignments.
A panicked member of the school community reportedly estimated this might entail 4 hours each day of onerous and oppressive drudgery. The term "abusive" is bandied about. Theatrical language does not make the underlying idea more formidable.
The school points out, not unreasonably, that these students are ambitious for acceptance to superior universities and will seek financial aid.
Every assignment, whether classwork, homework, short-term or long-term, on regular days when school is in session, or on holidays, weekends or vacations,, should be purposeful. It should never be punitive or simply to keep a student busy. And it should never be a public relations ploy. That means it must not be a stunt to conjure the illusion of "productivity" to gullible parents, supervisors, ambassadors from the community or so-called "distinguished visitors."
It should reinforce recently taught material or help to seamlessly introduce the next step of knowledge based on it.
Do the protesting students truly feel aggrieved? Are they justified or is their sobbing a bit "over the top"? Are they driven by a love of learning and who is doing the driving? What is the link between academic immersion and getting hold of a credential or a scholarship?
Do students punch a time clock in their brain? (Haven't they always?) Is intellectual labor a kind of mental incarceration or the keys to freedom? Are the Success Academy pupils being treated like Victorian children dispatched to debtors prison to toil all day and night with little food or light to offset their parents' liabilities?
We're talking a few hours daily, which is less than most of these kids squander on social media.
Kids will be kids, which means most of them won't voluntarily subscribe to doing chores. Is there not a positive role for "tough love" in this situation?
The charter schools of Eva Moskowitz are critically flawed. That may even be a charitable assessment. But on this issue their pig-headedness is commendable. Stubborn adherence to the principle of year-round learning deserves praise and emulation.
