Sell Therapy, Counseling, Tax Advice, Computer Help, and More - Sell what you say Talking With God I met god the other day. I know what you're thinking. How the hell did you know it was god? Well, I'll explain as we go along, but basically he convinced me by having all, and I do mean ALL, the answers. Which is odd, because I'm still an atheist and we even agree on that! It all started on the 8.20 back from Paddington. What did he look like? Well not what you might have expected that's for sure. 'Anyone sitting here?' 'Help yourself' I replied. Sits down, relaxes, I ignore and back to the correspondence on genetically modified crops entering the food chain... Train pulls out and a few minutes later he speaks. 'Can I ask you a question?' Fighting to restrain my left eyebrow I replied 'Yes' in a tone which was intended to convey that I might not mind one question, and possibly a supplementary, but I really wasn't in the mood for a conversation. 'Why don't you believe in god?' The Bastard! I love this kind of conversation and can rabbit on for hours about the nonsense of theist beliefs. 'Stottle.
Brainwave Experiment Visualizes Storytelling's Effects on the Mind Image courtesy the artists. Screencaps via What happens inside the brain when you're reading? To explore that question, Latvian interactive art lab Connection Codes equipped participants with EEG headpieces to collect brainwave data as they listened to others read books aloud, including A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, and a number of texts from Latvian authors. The data was then translated into fractal animations and projected onto the wall of the Latvian National Museum of Art at the “Staro Rīga 2014” Festival of Light. With Reader, Connection Code wanted to see the intersection between reading and technology in a different way—beyond ebooks. The Reader from CONNECTION on Vimeo.

Negotiation Examples: How Crisis Negotiators Use Text Messaging In their negotiation training, police and professional hostage negotiators are taught skills that will help them defuse tense situations over the course of long phone calls, such as engaging in active listening, determining the person’s emotions from his or her inflection, and trust building. These crisis negotiators are being put to the test by young criminal suspects and others in crisis, whose first instinct increasingly seems to be texting rather than talking, according to an Associated Press article. Back in 2014, Red Bank, Tennessee, police chief Tim Christol told the Associated Press that the usual negotiation skills he teaches don’t translate to texting, such as emotional labeling in the form of a statement such as “You sound angry.” Without verbal cues, Christol says, it becomes much more difficult to understand the emotional state of the person in crisis, and misunderstandings are common. “Words are only 7 percent of communication,” he says.
Soaking Deep in Luxury: 8 Free-Standing Stone Bathtubs There is something elemental about stepping barefoot on stone – and natural about taking a bath in a solid, smooth-curved earthen tub made of this basic substance either at an open-environment, rock-surrounded hot spring or in an at-home, free-standing bathing basin. But there is more than easy luxury beneath the surface of these outwardly simple stone tubs. From small and wide to deep and tall, these bathtubs from Vaselli may require a good deal of space … but for those who like to take long, relaxing, meditative and luxurious dips they seem at first worthy of sacrificing a bit of spare square footage for. But what is really for sale here? Close inspection reveals that the experience of these baths and feel of their surrounding spaces is tied to more than merely the deceptively smooth and largely free-standing quarried-and-cut stone tubs themselves. The lesson in all of this?
Trump’s Fake War on the Fake News Seven days before Donald Trump took office, the inauguration festivities got off to a low-key start inside a modest conference room at the Capitol Hill offices of the American Trucking Associations. There, a hundred-odd familiar faces from the Washington set gathered to fête one of their own, incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer. The party spilled out into the hallway as entrepreneur Susanna Quinn, ubiquitous Republican consultant Ron Bonjean and Spicer’s wife, Rebecca, a staffer at the National Beer Wholesalers Association, rubbed shoulders with CBS’ White House correspondent Major Garrett and its political editor Steve Chaggaris, Time’s Zeke Miller and several journalists from CNN, including Washington bureau chief Sam Feist. Spicer arrived late, but in good spirits, and after 20 minutes of schmoozing he strode to the front of the room to deliver brief remarks. Story Continued Below In public, Trump’s team and the press had been engaged in bitter clashes for months.
CogZest – Thrive in the Sea of Knowledge Angelic Architectural Lighting via Wall-Mounted LED Rings Each of these halo-shaped circles is an independent LED light fixture that casts a round ring of light on the wall. What makes them more interesting, however, is the way they can be combined into more complex shapes to create decorative patterns. A simple singular Flos Architectural Wall Piercing ring creates a flower-like arrangement, while an untidy line adds some asymmetry into the mix. They can be layered up and interlinked as well, though the effect starts to overwhelm the viewer a bit (perhaps more appropriate for a night club than a living room) if the patterns become too pervasive. While they are attached to the wall, they look like hoop earrings actually piercing the surface from a distance – or as if someone stuck the each ring in while the plaster was drying. Definitely a neat effect and is multiplied through creative combinations and overlaps.
Pretty pictures: Can images stop data overload? 16 April 2012Last updated at 19:01 ET By Fiona Graham Technology of business reporter, BBC News Brain scan: Research suggests that one way to avoid being overloaded by data is by presenting it visually rather than text or numbers Sitting at your desk in the middle of the day, yet another email notification pops up in the corner of the screen, covering the figures you're trying to digest in the complicated spreadsheet in front of you. Your laptop is open on the desk next to you with another set of figures you need - meanwhile you're frantically tabbing through different documents on the main screen. You have a meeting in 20 minutes and you suddenly feel as if you're swimming in a sea of impenetrable data, and you're starting to sink. Welcome to the 21st Century workplace, and "data overload". Under siege You're not alone. Dr Lynda Shaw is a neuroscience and psychology lecturer at Brunel University in the west of London.

Backward Bowls: From Form-Cast Fruit to Inverted Veggies From potatoes, peppers and onions to pears, apples and oranges, we take the unique organic forms of fruits and vegetables for granted when we pick them up at the grocery store or slice them for a meal – these bowls, by comparison, are creative food-for-thought pieces that leave a new, unique and lasting impression. Requiring no firing, these powdered-ceramic creations from Mischer’Traxler (via Dezeen)are as naturally unique as each fruit or vegetable that went into making them. The works individually reflect the embedded organic form of the objects pressed into them and their identities are reinforced by dyes added before the pressing and drying processes. Each piece casts a new light on the plant matter that made it possible, from the smooth shapes and surface textures of citrus fruits to the rough and variegated and complex fractal patterns of cauliflower and everything in between.
Drawing on the right side of the brain: A voxel-based morphometry analysis of observational drawing Highlights We measure structural differences in GM and WM in art students and non-art students. We correlate GM and WM volume and performance on drawing tasks. Drawing skill linked to increased GM in the cerebellum and medial frontal gyrus. Drawing relates to changes in fine motor structures in art and non-art students. Abstract Structural brain differences in relation to expertise have been demonstrated in a number of domains including visual perception, spatial navigation, complex motor skills and musical ability.
