The elephant in the memory room, so to speak, is age. How does one compensate for the decline in memory as one ages? Buy more Post-its? Put chalkboards in every room? (The bedroom chalkboard could get interesting.) Set alarms for our impending alarms? Surely, there’s got to be another way.

Game: Amusement, Distraction, Diversion or Sport
This is what frightens me; what left a bad taste in my mouth before I was even born. What remains a problem to this day: We follow too easily. We forget too easily. We are too easily lured by pretty, empty promises.
The Psychology Behind Adverts
Psychology can be successfully applied to advertising to drive more sales. This is not a new thing – it’s a concept that’s been developed over hundreds of years. However, advertising always seems to be evolving and getting more advanced.
The Shape of Modern Dog Training
Modern dog training has brought us some new views and new approaches to training. Some of what we do these days is just a refined version of things we have been doing for a long time.

After exploring its sand dunes and dried lakebeds I climbed into a Namib Sky Balloon Safaris’ basket with a Nikon camera-in-hand for a totally different perspective.
