« Odors are perceived with every breath we take and immediately interpreted by the most ancestral parts of our brain. In recent years, researchers and practitioners, from the neurosciences to the humanities, have strived to gain a better understanding of the sense of smell, which deeply, yet often unknowingly, shapes the way we live: our eating habits, our social interactions, our emotions, memories, and even our well-being and safety. Albeit elusive and ephemeral in nature, scents may thus be purposefully used to improve many aspects of our lives. Furthermore, despite its long neglect in the West, smell can also carry cultural, aesthetic, and practical values, as exemplified by a number of ancient and foreign cultures.
In the hands of contemporary designers, whose job it is to consider the interactions of minds, bodies, and things, scents are mediated in innovative ways to raise a form of new sensory awareness. This exhibition will feature about 40 of these designers and artists from all over the world whose work reflects and participates in the growing culturalization of all things olfactory. Working with and around the sense of smell, taking into account its neurobiological, historical, social, and aesthetic specificities, these practitioners attempt to change the way we relate to and interact with the world. Their informed efforts are an incentive to use our nose to observe objects from a different point of view, and conversely to use objects to take advantage and make sense out of smell in novel ways.
The phrase ‘olfactory design’ can refer to a variety of practices that encompass, inter alia, fragrance making, olfactory marketing, stage design, architecture, and even urban planning. The focus of Living with scents will be on objects, not just scented products, but creative and artful interfaces to deliver scents with manifold design outcomes, from the hedonic to the functional. On display will be an unprecedented collection of useful, meaningful, and beautiful olfactory objects to be discovered through both the eyes and the nose. »

« An Exhibition Explores the Intersection of Scent and Design
After years of research into the design of the five senses, Elisabetta Pisu and Clara Muller have curated Living with Scents at San Francisco’s Museum of Craft and Design.
“Through the olfactory sense, we can interpret and learn about the world, fixing in our memory places [we’ve been] and the emotions we’ve lived,” says Elisabetta Pisu, design curator, founder, and project manager of EP Studio. While ephemeral, scents can dramatically shape the way humans live in and experience the built environment. “For this reason, ambient scent has become very important and constitutes an integral part of the research planning for many designers.”
After years of research into the “design of the five senses,” Pisu and olfaction scholar Clara Muller have curated Living with Scents, a new exhibition at San Francisco’s Museum of Craft and Design. Featuring the work of more than 40 international artists and designers, the exhibition examines the neurobiological, historical, social, and aesthetic implications of smell through objects. Works on view include a coffeepot 3D-printed from coffee grounds, a clock that releases a different essence every hour, and jewelry that provides a solution for those allergic to perfume. «

You are thinking the quote relates to the global economic downturn occurring all around us - it’s actually for a golf industry keynote today!
But it actually relates to both! (My wife thinks the rhyming is kind of hokey. I’m going to run with it anyways!) Later this morning, I’ll be on stage with an opening keynote for the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association of Canada, with a talk on the growth opportunities in the world of golf.
I suspect this might be the last stage keynotes for a bit of time as the global event industry unwinds as a result of the rapid spread of Covid-19, the related economic changes that are underway, and a new era of business uncertainty.
With that in mind, I will be spending my Tuesday in my home broadcast studio, getting it ready for a new era of video leadership keynotes. Stay tuned!
What’s my message? In a time of uncertainty, you’ve got to move quickly into the next phase with the downturn: getting beyond shock and denial and anger of the last two weeks — into acceptance!
The golf industry message today? The same!
Part of my message for these folks - and my message for previous keynotes for the PGA of America & others in the global golf industry - is that in order to innovate within the world of golf, we’ve got to move beyond looking at the doom and gloom stories: courses shutting down, declining participation numbers, less interest by mobile obsessed millennials in a 4-5 hour game.
Stay focused on those stories & you come away convinced there is no future for the sport.
Or … focus on innovation, change, adapting!
Innovations like TopGolf! Webcam’s on par-3’s for that elusive hole-in-one. Using social media as a means to attract parents of young children into the game. Experimenting with new hyper-connected golf clubs for swing analysis and more.
There are lots of opportunities for growth!
The world has changed in a big way - so get moving!

Relating helps you develop a very sensitive, even telepathic resonance with your surroundings. This opens up your intuition. Relating begins from an attitude of not knowing and stays open to perceiving changes and new possibilities as they unfold.
From the book "Getting Real"
The Cockatiel (also recognised as the Quarrion and the Weero) is a small parrot relating to both the Psittacidae and the Cacatuidae families. Like other cockatoos, as for example the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, the cockatiel has an erectable crest. Cockatiels and cockatoos in general also share other features, such as the facial feathers covering the sides of the beak, which are rarely - if ever - found outside the Cacatuidae family. In contrast to most cockatoos, the cockatiel has long tail feathers, roughly making up half of its total length. These birds originate from the outback regions of inland Australia, and favor the Australian wetlands, scrublands, and bush lands. The cockatiel's distinctive pointed yellow crest is held erect when startled or excited, while a crest slightly tilted indicates a relaxed state of mind.
Female hand-raised cockatiel of typical colouring, age 15.
Female hand-raised cockatiel of typical colouring, age 15.
The plumage is generally mid-grey, lighter underneath, with an almost perfectly round orange patch of feathers covering the ear opening (usually referred to as a "cheek patch") and a prominent white blaze on the wings. A row of yellowish spots can be found underneath the wings of female cockatiels, but not on the males. Some other mutations exist, such as the Lutino, which lacks black and grey colour, being a light yellow colour overall. Female Lutinos also have barred tail feathers. Both the cock and the hen have yellow facial feathers: the female has a yellow wash around the beak and eye, in the male, yellow covers most of the head and the fore part of the crest. Male cockatiels are very protective and nurturing of their offspring and are known to be very capable of raising their newborns if the mother is unable to.
Cockatiel lifespans in captivity are generally given as 15-20 years,[1] though it is sometimes given as short as 12-15 years[2] and there are reports of cockatiels living as long as 30 years, the oldest reported being 35 years old when it died.[3]
SB1082 (Relating to Transportation of School Children) simplifies Section 302A-406, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The bill allows for more flexibility by the BOE and DOE regarding contract requirements. This measure will provide the DOE with a tool to control costs of school bus transportation by removing statutory requirements related to school bus procurement.
SB1083 (Relating to Transportation of School Children) exempts contracts for transportation for school services from Section 103-55, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Under the provisions of this bill, the DOE will not need to require school bus contractors to certify that they pay same wages as public officers and employees. The bill removes the statutory requirements related to school bus procurement.

Information relating to the statue of Queen Victoria outside the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney.
The site of the Queen Victoria Building was the location of the George Street Markets, and was selected for the construction of a grand government building. Architect George McRae designed the QVB in the ornate Romanesque Revival style with the express purpose of employing a great number of skilled craftsmen who were out of work due to a severe recession. The building was completed in 1898 and named the Queen Victoria Building after the monarch.
The completed building included coffee shops, showrooms and a concert hall. It provided a business environment for tradesmen such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers, and florists. The concert hall was later changed to a municipal library and the building was partitioned into small offices for Sydney City Council. The building steadily deteriorated and in 1959 was threatened with demolition. It was restored between 1984 and 1986 by Ipoh Ltd at a cost of $86 million, under the terms of a 99-year lease from the City Council and now contains mostly upmarket boutiques and "brand-name" shops.
This bronze statue of Queen Victoria, located on the forecourt, was originally located in front of the Irish Parliament in Dublin until 1947. It was given to the people of Sydney as a gift from the people of Ireland and unveiled in 1987.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
Most of these are shot outdoors where I have the room to literally spin and throw my little camera several feet up into the air, with some throws going as high as 15 feet or more!
None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

The Problems Relating to the Management & Excavations of the Archaeological Ruins of Herculaneum / Pompeii as Reported in Foreign Press (1904-2002). [Prof. Amedeo Maiuri - War Damage] "Naples preserved Most of its Art." The N. Y. Times, Oct. 7, 1943. p. 5 [2/2].
Just wanted to relate to you all how important it is in life to cherish every moment God lets you live with your loved ones. For two weeks my father had asked me to take him to a special place he wanted to eat lunch and taste the shrimp in that area. At 81, and in a fairly good health after his last stroke, my father wanted to eat shrimp by the bay. I was busy, doing my every day things and took me two weeks to take him. Once there my father told me the story why he wanted to go to that special place. When he was very young, my grandfather had a factory in the city and shipped his goods all thru the country from that special shipping port. They lived close by and he remembered dearly those moments when his father used to take him there (fishers market down town) and he ate those same shrimps over 70 years ago. He was so happy there, he enjoyed every moment, ate slowly and remembered grandma and grandpa who have longed passed away. He felt close to them and just lived the moment second by second every bite he took was just like being there again 70 years before.
I write this with the deepest pain in my heart, so bad it hearts deeply, as I felt God was telling me he is getting ready to reunite my Dad with my grand parents, let him live again but now forever, those unforgettable moments he carries in his heart for all his life, let him have a well deserved peace and tranquility he has more than earned thru his 80 years of being the best Dad anyone can have, the most amazing example of a brave man, who never gave up to give us all the best any one can give and get.
As I sit here praying to God he lets me reimburse my Dad for all he has given us, I wanted to make it public, and ask any of you out there to take one minute and ask God to keep him with us for as much as he wishes so we can all enjoy him for the last days, months o years of his life he has left. We certainly can’t change the past but can absolutely change the future. God I made my deepest desire to you public in my most sincere hope you hear us all and have mercy upon us. God Bless you all.
Dear Mouschi,
I'm feeling disturbed and tormented because relating to people is hard for me. On many more than one occasion I have found myself experiencing the worst type of feeling. Bitterness, nearly hate. I feel this, I think, not because I don't love...but because I have a lack of understanding. Ok, not even a lack of understanding, but an impassivity that makes me play dead and not try to comprehend them. Each and every one of us carry our own dictionaries. Your picture of a house will probably be different from my picture of a house. When I'll ask you to look at my house, you'll say to yourself that its not a house, its a bungalow. If you are like myself, you probably will not want to hurt my feelings, telling me that my house is a bungalow. Before we know it, the misunderstanding starts off and we are arguing over the difference between a poppy and a violet. We're always forgetting that a blossom is still a blossom and a home is either a house, a bungalow or anywhere I can rest my corpse at night.
Everything I've ever done, is everything I ever know. I just keep doing it over and over and over.
My biggest struggle is to find an equilibrium between living in truth of myself and my integrity and managing to make a compromise for love. When I will give birth and become a mother is when I think I'll manage to give everything. I wish I didn't find it so hard to show people that I care. If I care it means that I can also hurt. I don't want them to know that I can hurt because then they will start hurting me too. My pathetic attempts at trying to protect my dear ones only causes them to hurt me more.
Perhaps I shouldn't try and protect others from feeling after all. I'm learning that one of the most important things in our lives is to feel. I'll find it hard to be unpretended.
Despite all said this morning, one of my favourite things about you so far and what I very much envy is how you can express yourself so candidly and be so brutaly honest.
I need to sleeeeeeep...

The first of the several buildings I wanted to take a close look at was the Museo Soumaya. I didn't actually go inside - I tend to not hit museums unless it's raining, but I did stare at the exterior for quite a bit.
Postcard
The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).
