IPSOS is using biometric belts that have been strapped onto consumers' chests in order to understand human reactions in their truest form. More simply, they are measuring the response to stimuli through the nervous system.
Biometrics is a branch of neuroscience that takes the measurement of emotions to a whole new level. It allows marketers to understand the additional dimensions of unconscious consumer responses in their day-to-day decision making, ultimately leading to stronger end results and a greater understanding of how brands and advertising are connecting with people in their everyday lives.

Oliver on understanding science:
“I can remember distinctly the time when I first understood what the word ‘science’ means. That was in the ninth grade, when I went to Longfellow Junior High School . . . I took a course called General Science, and in the first few weeks the instructor did an experiment. He got a pump, and he pulled the air out of an old oil can; and of course it collapsed. So he asked us why it collapsed. We were all kids, you know. We said, ‘You sucked the air out of it. It collapsed. You sucked it in.’ He said, no, that wasn’t it. He had created a low pressure area inside, and the pressure outside had pushed it in. At that particular moment, I can distinctly remember, it dawned on me that there was a way of thinking about phenomena that I had been interested in for a long time. And that way of thinking was called ‘science.’”

"New York ... the Fair City" by the Bell System (We have been blessed to spend many spring vacations in NYC staying with family and photographing our visits including some to the old fair grounds in 2009 :>)
While financial inclusion and financial deepening can promote economic growth and contribute significantly to denting poverty and inequality that is rampant in the region, there are also concerns that it could aggravate systemic risk and financial instability. Various dimensions of financial inclusion will be explored in this day and a half research workshop hosted by the Institute for Emerging Market Studies (IEMS) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and co-sponsored by Centre on Asia and Globalisation (CAG), at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), National University of Singapore (NUS).

Tough day today, had to say goodbye to Maddie. We are all going to miss her. Grateful for the fun times we had with her.
Silicon Valley residents were eager to learn more about universal basic income (UBI) from experts on the topic, which has been touted by tech leaders as a solution to widespread job displacement caused by innovation and disruption.

"Letters Without An Envelope" 2009 ART of Scott Jeffrey Cousins
These intensely bold oil paintings are a delightful retinal experience. The artist's innate sense of color and exuberant technique are so enchanting that one is captured from far away and enticed to come so close as to see the graceful, subtle brushwork and literally hundreds of colors. The purely abstract compositions dance before you and, when they draw you in, seem to viscerally bring on a sense of peace -- humanity through joy, pathos and transcendence. Like seeing music. The artist, Scott Jeffrey Cousins, refers to these new paintings as: "A sanctuary that the spectator may enter through a retinal experience." They are truly unlike anything else. Influences of other great painters are present but only a memory. These tactile paintings, photographed beautifully here, have surprised even the most experienced art critics and curators with their lush interplay of color -- They'll surprise you when you touch them with your own eyes!

My understanding is that Fragments is what was originally the restaurant section attached to Mayfield.
Mayfield began in April 2010 when Kevin T Byrne and Kevin D Byrne opened their doors on Terenure Road North to the public.
The small building was originally a butchers shop from the early 1900’s. Already rich with character this was retained and built on using vintage tables and chairs. In 2013 the opportunity arose to expand and taking the risk they moved the restaurant into the large adjoining premises, turning the original space into a take-out deli.
"The buying process has never been more complex. Consumers have hundred of places online to purchase products that meet their needs. They may shop at home, at work, in the grocery store. They may be using an Android phone, an iPhone, or an Xbox."

I visited the "Mapping Knowledge. Understanding the World through Data" exhibition in Mons, Belgium, which is European capital of culture in 2015. An exhibition for all persons interested in data visualisation/infographics, and all those interested by the "knowledge" topic. The biggest surprise for me was to discover and to learn more about the Mundaneum. It is the crazy project of two Belgian, Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine, who tried in the late nineteenth century to gather and classified the world’s knowledge available on...paper at that time. They created an internet on paper! Their final goal was to design the ideal society, with the help of Le Corbusier. Mundaneum is not only a big crazy project but it is also the place and the concept that hosts the exhibition (The message is the medium. Isn't?)
The exhibition starts with a large timeline of "data visualisations" (maps, drawings, etc) which begins in 366AC.
An interesting part of the exhibition is on the tree (symbol of knowledge) and its use in visualisations to represent the organisation of knowledge. Another part offers orginal works by Paul Otlet done for the Mundaneum project, wonderful. A part is dedicated to "invisible networks and cities" which proposes visualisations of the hidden flow of data around us. To finish, a section on "Data is art" where artists use data to create pieces of art.

I like all types of imagery and I think that book and magazine covers have some interest and there are a number of Flickr groups for them.

Mothers are the image of God on this Earth!
Understanding and cherishing the value of this thought, Presidians celebrated Mother’s Day with a deep sense of love, respect and admiration for their Mothers. There is no love as special as that of a mother, and this celebration was in honour of those beautiful souls who have unfailing and pure love in their hearts - MOTHERS.
Presidians celebrated the day by performing on a splendidly choreographed song on Mother’s Day. They made beautiful greeting cards and wrote loving messages for their moms and presented it to them with gratitude. Such celebrations build respect, love and appreciation in children for their loved ones and they recognize the value of a family and relationships.

The world of licensing is a strange, strange place. While there are examples of strange things everywhere, this little review focuses on the world of Persona 4.
The short version is, based on my understanding, if you wanted a collection of the main cast of Persona 4 and their Persona, you basically need to buy a combination of Figma, D-Arts, and fixed statues. Furthermore, you have accept that some are based on their Anime looks, and some their P4A video game appearance.
Now, maybe I'm wrong and that the various license holders just gave up on doing a full line, or maybe Atlus really did piecemeal this property out like this... I'll never actually know, but I'm too pretty to care.
Which brings me to this review, Figma Yukiko and D-Arts Konohana Sakuya.
Yukiko is one of the main heroines in the game. The daughter of the owner of a popular inn located in Inaba (the setting of Persona 4), Yukiko is the quiet, studious girl of series, who dreams of life outside the town and is deadly in the kitchen.. because apparently she can't cook.
Yes, that's a relevant fact, especially if you play the game.
Konohana Sakuya is, of course, her initial Persona. It's some weird bird/flower thing... there's no real simple way to describe the design. I believe that this Persona is aligned with the element of Fire, but again, it's been a long time so I can't remember for sure.
The Figma releases (Yu, Chie, and Yukiko) are, I believe, based on their appearances in the Persona 4 Anime series. Based on stills I've seen, I feel that the figure captures this art style very well, especially with the more slim aesthetic of the Figma 1.0 body.
Yukiko comes with several expressions, her trusty fan, a slash effect, and two pairs of glasses - I think both are meant for use so the team can see Shadows, the enemies in this game, but obviously one is worn for shits and giggles. Even with the "limited" articulation of the 1.0 body, Yukiko's graceful frame can be posed in a variety of character accurate positions. QC, of course, is top notch with no real complaints.
Now, while Yukiko here was a chance purchase, Konohana Sakuya is a bit more interesting. Apparently, unlike Figuarts, released Figuarts are either really cheap, or horribly expensive in the aftermarket. This one definitely falls into the former, as I was able to get it for $25 CAD after one of those eBay coupons, shipped with tracking, all the way from Hong Kong to Canada.
Naturally, I was intrigued as to what was wrong with the thing, and ordered one to complement my Yukiko.
I think the best way to describe the final product is - ambitious.
The set comes with the figure, several wing segments, and a dynamic stand.
The good news is that it appears the two scale very well with one another. Adding to the favour of this union is the fact that Konohana Sakuya doesn't stand on the ground - she floats.
The base figure itself is very solid, and much better than Jiraiya in terms of QC... but lets face it, its pretty damn hard to top a screw up like painting so much your head get stuck to your body. The included stand isn't bad, but I seem to recall that the joint isn't quite strong enough in some positions to hold the main figure in the air.
Those wings, however, are where the ambitious comment comes to light. Each wing segment is made up of translucent plastic, and theoretically are jointed such that you can do all sorts of pretty things with them, as indicated on the back of the box. The reality is, the wings are a pain in the ass to pose and join together, and once you get it a certain way you probably don't want to screw around with them anymore. Furthermore, you might notice that the wings are actually mounted on a separate arm on the stand, with two sections connected to the forearms of the figure itself, making for more fun as you struggle to connect joints, praying you don't break the things in the meantime.
But you know what? As awkward as the process was, I truly did appreciate the effort put into trying to duplicate those crazy wings seen in the video game.
Compared to the other releases under the Persona 4 D-Arts line, unless there was some major size differences, this Persona probably gave designers the greatest headache and was worth its weight in gold more, as it were. But, collectors of this sort of stuff are a fickle bunch, so I'm guessing that this Persona probably lost the popularity contest.
So that was the pairing of Yukiko and Konohana Sakuya in figure form. Maybe one day, I'll find the rest of the crew... or at least get the pairing of my favorite carnivore, Chie, and her Persona.
