The Green Lanterns' optimistic counterparts, the Blue Lantern Corps, have a secret power hidden in their rings. While the interstellar police officers chase the universe's worst criminals around the universe, Saint Walker and his blue-hued corpsmen can heal the threats they come across in the most tear-jerking manner possible.
While the emerald light wielded by the Green Lanterns is by far the most well-known, it's but one of seven main lights that make up the mysterious cosmic force known as the Emotional Spectrum. From the intense Red Light of Rage to the passionate Violet Light of Love, the Emotional Spectrum of Green Lantern covers a wide panoply of feelings felt by sentient beings. Nestled right next to the stable, Green Light center of the Spectrum is the Blue Light of Hope that powers the Blue Lantern Corps, an organization that believes no matter what, "All will be well."
The Green Lanterns discovered their odd doppelgänger corps at the worst possible time in Green Lantern #36 by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis. The Lanterns are recovering from an attack of animalistic Red Lanterns. Sensing their need for help, Saint Walker, the first Blue Lantern, arrives to assist the wounded. While Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns are amazed and confused at the existence of multicolored Lanterns, Walker insists that he’s here to help.

Optimistic Geometry specializes in creating various copies of weapons for cosplay - but it's not just repainted nerf-ganes. This is different in that it "works". No, it is not equipped with bullets, does not shoot with lasers or plasma, but the mechanical parts move, light up and fold. Just

There are plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about the American economy. After years of stagnant growth in the wake of the Great Recession, unemployment is falling, housing prices are rising, and the dollar has rebounded nicely against other global currencies. Perhaps the most auspicious sign for continued economic recovery and
luxury home design growth is the incredible expansion of commercial construction.
In 2014, commercial buildings rose by a whopping 14 percent. According to the 2015 Dodge Construction Outlook, that upward trend will continue with an estimated increase of 15 percent by year's end. Why is this happening? Let's find out!
1. Hiring Boom
As U.S. employers continue to hire hundreds of thousands of new workers each month, they must expand their operations. It is no surprise, then, that much of the growth in the commercial building sector has been spurred by new office space in the private sector. Both large and small companies are now spending across the board, increasing their investments in new facilities.
2. Demographics and luxury home design
Like most developed nations, the United States has an aging population. Since older folks consume more health care than younger ones, the need for new hospitals, health clinics, and other medical facilities has never been greater. According to reliable estimates, institutional building, which includes hospitals, is expected to rise by 9 percent in 2015.
3. Energy Growth
Now the world leader in oil and gas production, the infrastructure that is needed to sustain these massive, growing industries must be updated and upgraded in the coming years. A recent estimate put the total amount of infrastructure investment needed at just over half a trillion dollars. Yes, that's a trillion with a "T!" Many of these improvements will require commercial building, both onshore and offshore.
4. GDP Rising
They say a rising tide lifts all boats. With the economy expected to grow at around 3.5 percent, many industries should reap the benefits. At present, construction accounts for around 5.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) -- the broadest measure of economic activity. As a result, the sector should get a nice bump simply because the economy as a whole is growing.
5. Made In America
Fueled by strong growth in the automotive sector, manufacturing plant construction should continue to grow at an impressive rate. Although not quite as rapid as the 42 and 57 percent increases the industry experienced in 2013 and 2014 respectively, recent estimates remain high by historical standards. According to the aforementioned report, manufacturing plant building is expected to rise by 16 percent

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

“Daffodils are an optimistic flower, and foolproof. You know what Shakespeare said:
"Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty."
...I plant them in big clumps with a trusty shovel. I make several large holes all around and put quite a few in. That's why it makes such a spectacular look when they bloom.”
