#rn there . not processing reality correctly

[yourwolfmuzzle]

I kinda in the "recovery mood" so im not that active rn on internet, but this fucking cut-part storyboard (and Yang buff arms...for getting a little bit meat on Yang's arms and ponytail back i need to also get her extra tits size and ugly outfit...i cant have shit in this house without sacrificing something or make something already bad even MORE bad) got into my recommendations on yt and make me feel soooo much emotions that i need to rant into a wall.

LONG POST WARNING?

Before to start it i will honestly trying to tell what i kinda like.

+ Outside of making R/WBY feels like a fucking savers of this world, i kinda dig how sad and kinda depress this all feel at the start. This kinda stuff i want to see after vol8 - how everyone who survive is trying to live they new live and how second characters trying to hold everything together, but having a hard time. A grimm reality with almost no hope.

+ I kinda like how Winter VA was able to pull up her action? Like...i can hear that she was "grieving" a lost of her sister and that she dont feel like everything will going to be better.

+ WE STAN THIS ONE WOMAN WHO WAS TRYING TO DRAG SCHNEE. GOOD FOR HER, LET HER SPEAK!

+At least Winter remember about Penny...

And now EVERYTHING ELSE.

There is a thing - im fine with Winter and Qrow talking about in positive ways about R/WBY that they was trying to to everything that they can to save people. That they was a good huntress or something like that. They in grieving processe, "dont talk about the dead one in negative way", all that jazz. But everything that they talking about sounds like they was a new gods in this world. Like they the new savers of this world when...its not exactly true. The idea is there and this whole "you send the message to the world" can maybe works, but everything sound like they perfect people who save a whole world.

Hey guys! Are we going to...just ignore the fact that Salem now have a staff? Winter mention this but thats it. I dont know how many days its was, how hardcore we timeskip, but you telling me that Salem was just chilling in situation, when her enemy in the most vulnerable position and one of the main problem is no where to be found? Like...okay sure.

Even if i like this one lady who was calling out Schnees (again good for her, she have all right to talk like this with Willow)...i wish there was much more people who was disappointed or angry about Schnee or even angry about R/WBY. Just in general showing that people not only angry about that fact how hard they lives now but also trying to find the one who done this. Not everyone will be buss with trying to fix in what situation they are, somebody will trying to find who guilty. Its cant be the only one woman.

Okay...im maybe have a hard time to remember about vol8 and maybe i didnt rewatch vol7-8 in general that much and maybe its just me remembering things not correctly, but...is there was a whole problem to tell people the true about Salem? This whole "panic will bring grimm" thing? This was also a problem in the end of vol8 if i remember this correctly? Well, right now people not only know about Salem, but they also in extream situation with no homes, living in tents. There is no coming back to home, this is they lifes now. But no grimm problem in this epilogue. I dont even remember if Winter or Qrow mention about grimm?

Also about ignoring stuff - there is still some dead people outside of "dead R/WBY". I maybe miss something or didnt saw some detail but i dont remember some memorials for people who got kill by Cinder or solders who die protecting Atlas. I know Atlas in big mean place and "fuck military", but...they still trying to help?

There is this one moment with gravestone with "Dont Come Back", that Winter write on it. I know there is already two side of this thing (i dont believe anyone and AGAIN this whole miscommunication problem in team + both points is really fucking bad in different ways), but i just want to say that before jump into reading comments or what theory people have about this - i was having no clue what is this and for what was that. I know its storyboard and storyboards not always look with a lot of details, but i was so confuse for what this was done. Anyway, both points is bad and if Ironwood one thing is the real one - my fucking god can you stop having a beef with your own characters and remember that before Ironwood start to be cartoon man-man Winter was working with him for pretty long time?

Do you remember me talking about "both Winter and Qrow in grieving process"? Yeah i fucking lied, its only Winter. For some reasons they decide that the most depress man in this world, the most "I Am Shadow The Hedgehog" guy in the team (according to vol8) after loosing both his only nieces and a guy who was his kinda friend who help him in vol7 and the guy that YES was a antagonist for vol8, but from what i remember was also his kinda friend - absolutely positive! And not in the way that he trying to hold himself together mentally after loosing so many people all in short time, but just positive. Listen, i hate this whole "i wish Qrow was back to drinking", but this is the last guy who have to be THIS positive about everything. My guy can maybe not go into drinking speedrun for good reasons (like he dont want to drink anymore at least for his nieces or he just know that he will feel even worst if he will go drinking again, when he already have a hard time to hold himself together?), but this all feel so wrong and feel like he dont care about losing such a important people. (MY BIRDMAN YOU DESERVE BETTER ONES AGAIN)

YOU DO NOT BRING UP FAIRGAME INTO THIS. THIS IS NOT REAL. "The controversity is good" shit, can you leave FairGame shippers alone?

RAVEN IS THERE. I already knew that they will trying to redem her ass because she is a female villain in R/WBY and that scene from vol9, but...i have other questions. How...Yang is chill that Raven just...transporting them? How Ruby, who only a couple hours ago find out that her mother go on her last mission and that Raven is the one who was the last with her, is absolutely dont trying to do with her anything? How anyone is soooo chill that a bandit and maiden is there? If this was done only so RW/BY can got right to Qrow so we can have this whole...reuniting scene then WOW. There is a chance that this scene was done before they start to cut out two episode and start to working on crossover movie, but im not sure how those two episodes can fix this whole situation.

You know i maybe really touch-hungry person who love hugging, but...why nobody was trying to hug JR/WBY team after they got there? Like...Qrow is just looking at them like its norman friday after mission and the only one who at least react in some way was Nora (With a little bit Ren, Oscar have a strange reaction?). Like...you all was thinking for some time that those people is dead. You didnt know where are they, why nobody hug them or hold they hands or just in general dont trying to have a contact with them, like nobody have a "ARE YOU A REAL?" moments?

Just in general JR/WBY getting there feel...wrong? Like they teleport there and just...walk to look how this whole situation looking. Again, no hugs to Qrow or ORN, no bright reaction toward them? (i know, for R/WBY team its was maybe a couple days, you all was not sure if you even will get back to them. Also Jaune was in EA for 10-20 years. He didnt saw his team for 10-20 YEARS. Listen, im not the most biggest fan of him, but like...let at least him hug his team?). I get it when they didnt react at first, from what i can tell they didnt saw Qrow at first. But after they look at him or when ORN saw them? No? You can still end up this scene with Ruby face, i just feel like after Winter and Qrow speech such a emotions reaction can work pretty well as a ending. Like..."there is a struggle and hurt, but we dont give up" with "hope" coming back to them?

Im worry about Oscar that we ones again skip his character development off screen, but its hard to tell in 6 min long epilogue storyboard.

Still no moments with Maria and Pietro. I mix up this one old man (this one from vol8 that is also a faunus) with him and was question "why he is not in his spider-wheelchair?" but after re watching - there is just no Maria and Pietro. They still cant remember about them. They remember about Ace-Ops, Happy Huntresses (ALSO MAY IS THERE OOPS-), but fuck Pietro and Maria.

This whole thing in general didnt anser the most biggest question - how long its been after JR/WBY+Neo fell? This whole thing is not helping at all and no matter what time is canon - its will not save this moment. Its been a week/s? Qrow got from this really fucking fast and even this whole situations with people looking really too good actually. Its been a months (around 6+) or even a year? This is really bad.

ALSO something i find out only right now - MOTHERFUCKERS IS THERE. This is not...a bad thing, but now i knew that if vol10 will be a thing - they remember about both "sea boys" team and "READ A BOOK" team. Happy to see that they remember about the first one, but after finding our how "in book" team was written - im not ready to see Coco team AT ALL.

In term of fanservise, if we going to look at this from perspective of how a fan will react on this if its was a really epilogue that they didnt cut out - oh boy its working pretty fucking good and probably if this was the ending for vol9 - i feel like people would talk about this season a lot more because after the ending of vol9 even some of hardcore fans was not talking about this whole vol that much.

But in term of writing - THANK GOD THIS WAS DELETED. Sure its kinda emotional epilogue, that hitting fans in right place, but giving us pretty much moments thats dont need to be there or working not that great. I heard that they will try to make this into volume 10, which is....knowing how they dont like "kill they darling" or deleting content that they think is really cool or prioritise moments that have to be cut over moments that needed to be on screen...i have zero hopes that they will re-write this scene. Maybe they will delete Raven because right now with episodes that we got in vol9 she just...out of place there.

But we will see. There is still no greenlight info...

Hi Aeraaa. Sorry it took me long to replay, but I’m glad that I finally can do it =) I just hope tumblr won’t delay my asks further more. I get why you would expect me to major in humanities, actually there’s an area in finance called behavioral finance, and I find it one of the most interesting areas in finance, I guess we can see a pattern in here hehe. What you said about ur major and what do you like about it seems really great, and the flexibility is indeed an advantage. 1

Maybe it doesn't seems like it but I understand the hassle you mentioned. Especially with the older people. B4 I major in finance, I was planning to major in MIS which is a new course in my country. I would then get a similar reaction to the one you mentioned since it isn’t accounting or finance lol. Even though these reactions can be discouraging, it isn’t really important, what’s important is that we’re comfortable with our choices, and I’m glad for that =) but yeah, i kinda get it

And Sure, I can tell you more about what I remember about the two courses. For business communication it was more about how to use the best practices in communicating with other within the organization, like how to get your message delivered, for the sake of getting the best possible result for yourself or for the sake of the organization. Things I remember about this course were like how to make and deliver a good presentations. How to right emails and good resumes. Attitudes and body language

and stuff like that. THH reminded me of a lot from that course :D. It was relatively an easy course but important and effective nonetheless. I took this course two years ago and I kinda wish if I took it like last semester cuz I think I’ll be able to remember better how to write a good resumes lol since I’m graduating this semester. Organizational behavior course was more interesting, it was about applying psychology in understanding the behaviors of personnel so one can manage them better.

The most interesting lecture that I still remember from this course was about many kinds of human bias and how it can affect the process of decision making. People can think that they’ll be able to notice these biases and tendencies easily but the reality says otherwise. That’s what I find is interesting the most. I really like what you said here. “ I think the world actually heavily relies on stories” and I think I agree with that. :)

You’re most welcome dear aera =) I don’t know how I did that but I’m glad for sure that my words made you happy and reached your heart. This’s great and it feels satisfying =). I’ll be back again to write about my thoughts on My time pt.2 after I read it! I’m excited. & Maybe I’m late but all the luck with your projects and finals dear, fighting!

Aseel!!!! Sorry this took so long!!! I got caught up with finals drain and writing slump and writing! But anyway, here I am!!!

OMOMOMO you're finally off-anon! Can I tag you now whenever I get tagged in fun tag games? I wanna know more about you!

I never heard of Behavioral Finance before. I used to think Finance is everything about money and budgeting and practicality and business. I didn't know there's an area like that.  I just searched it now and it's about the influence of psychology on investors and financial analysts 🤯  That sounds do interesting!!!! I just recalled that someone uploaded their books in their Psychology major to our uni's online library and rn I'm studying Forensic Psychology! Since I'm currently in the psych area, I think I'm gonna look into Behavioral Finance, too!

Oohhh MIS? Like Management Information Systems? (Had to Google it zjsjksks) That actually sounds so interesting! And yeah, people's - especially older generation's - opinions on what you do can be quite discouraging. But you're right. It doesn't matter as long as we're happy in what we're doing! Talk all they want how sciencey courses are better than humanities, I'll just flip my hair and study how most human communication goes downhill 💁🏻‍♀️  skskks. 

OMYGOD Business communication is like essentially my course! Were being tsught how to say things more correctly in preswntations, speeches, arguments, in whatever setting but it tends to usually focus on business (since a lot of organizations run in a business manner). One of my majors even focused on training us how to handle crisis in organizations and we were made to attend a "How to Properly Craft E-mails 101" class. It's amazing and funny at the same time. Amazing bc omygod after that class, I was making really convincing emails that helps me get what I want from my classmates (for class works) and from my profs whenever I have inquiries. Lmao bc of this class, I got more thick-skinned in facing profs and asking them what the hell do they mean in their vague instructions. Of course not literally this way, but this is the mood HAHAHAHAHAH. After that class, I made a joke that my future job is decided: an e-mail-er. Yep, yep. Corny joke. I'll see myself out 🤣🤣🤣

 I'm glad you were able to remember business comm in THH. I did a lot of research in how offices function and I had a personal experience in entering one and I hope I was able to translate them well into writing. So knowing you remember a course about it, just makes me feel warm and utterly satisfied 🥺🥺🥺

Oh and you're graduating! Advance congratulations!  🎉🎊👏 I think there will be more opportunities to learn more about writing resumes so don't lose hope! You're still young! (And with the quarantine I think there'll be more online classes about it too!)

And yes!!! Organizational behavior is hella interesting! You're right! People like to disdain bias. They herald unbiased reporting, unbiased essay, unbiased judging (in contests), and etc. When bias is inherently ingrained in humans as it is inevitable to have preferences. And bc they are inherent, it's harder to identify them. Just like how people find it hard to explain why they became the way they were now bc it's difficult to pinpoint something muddled in the surroundings that have long immersed them. I don't think this makes sense but you get what I mean? 

Apart from comm, our course usually focuses on the psychology behind comm so we also get to study about behaviors as well and goddamn I was able to better understand people after I learned about it! 

Oh hon, you don't know how far your words affect me. But the answer is simple. You just motivate me with these kind feedbacks. And you craft your feedbacks with such thought and dedication and sincerity that it just makes my heart explode bc how?? Did?? I?? Manage?? To have you as my reader?? It astounds me in so many levels. You're clearly so smart!  And I'll forever be privileged and happy to having met you (even in just online!) It's a joy to talk with you! I always have fun whenever we exchange long chains of messages! It's okay! Don't pressure yourself to read my works ASAP. We all live lives apart from this site. Just know I'll always be here whenever you wanna talk about just - whatever! Thank you for wishing me luck, Aseel! I really need lots of them bc I got tons of projects ahead (in life in general but also in my writings here 😉). Thank you so much Aseel for brightening my day! Hope you're doing okay! Here's some hearts! (/ ° O °)/ 💕💕💕

Will u please give a poor soul a wee bit of advice as you’re a goddess of wisdom. I’m going into my last year of high school in a month & I feel so overwhelmed with the stress of the final exams and the application process for college. I’m mentally ill & while I used to be a good student, I have fallen down a slippery slope & I don’t know if I can deal with the pressure. Should I take a gap year before I go to college? I think it may lift some weight off, but it may also do more harm than good.

hey babeyyyy :(( i'm really sorry to hear that!! school is so fucking stressful and it's natural to worry about your final year, it just means you care about doing well. that's to be expected. but if you have preexisting mental health issues, your brain may force you to compulsively wonder about worst case scenarios and uncontrollable factors, as a way to induce self hatred or anxiety. it's a tactic, a side effect. but a lot of these thoughts do not reflect your reality or what the future will actually be like. there's no way of knowing, and you still have a whole year to adapt and to learn. the most likely outcome is that you will find a middle ground eventually. so breathe. i know it feels unimaginably awful at the moment, but identifying the difference between fact and fear will allow you to stay grounded in the present. it's ok if it takes a while to get to that point, or if your emotions overwhelm you at times. you've gotten through it before and you will again. sometimes all you can do is cry and lose it and let the 'episode' run its course. but as long as you're even just attempting to cope in a healthy way, through talking to someone you trust or distracting yourself, then you're doing great. better than you realize. another important thing to keep in mind is that your mental health is always more important than your education. just because it's your last year, doesn't mean you have to drop everything, no matter what the adults tell you. your academic career doesn't have to be linear, doesn't have to look like everyone else's. if you have to take a mental health day, or ask your teachers for additional support, you are TOTALLY entitled to that. in fact i encourage it. 'that' part of your brain may try to twist the narrative, may try to place blame or guilt, but your mental illness is not a reflection of your capability or your worth. and neither are your grades. don't ascribe morality or personhood to a letter on a page. the actual experience of leaving high school will probably teach you more than your lessons, in a good and bad way. anyway it's cool if you don't quite believe me right now, but i just hope that concept sticks in your head. ultimately though, all you have to do is take it a day at a time. create a simple short term plan and stick to it as best you can, repeatedly. with regular breaks of course. and make sure at least one of your teachers knows the gist of what's going on so you can keep an honest dialogue with them. it's a matter of finding what works for you, and adjusting accordingly. prioritising your mental well being should always be your goal, because everything starts with you. if you're not practicing self compassion, everything else feels a hundred times more daunting.

anywhere as far as the gap year goes, i think it's a good idea if it makes the upcoming year feel less scary. it's your life and your desicion. and theres literally no wrong answer. and you have a while to mull on it, you don't have to know for sure right now. if you need some time to truly focus on yourself then there's no harm in that. in fact i kind of think it's a sign of maturity when you know what you need and how to give it to yourself. if you can recognize that you're slipping, then that's actually a good sign. because you understand that you need help. you're not buying into any illusions. as a side note - of course, school brings structure which alleviates the impact of many mental health issues. when i briefly left college, i had no excuse to leave the house, and everything festered and i became even more isolated. though i did need that break to figure some shit out. as with everything, there's positives and negatives. so just be sure to keep up with smaller goals if you take time off, that's all. use the break to look into getting professional help if you haven't already. and try to practice self soothing exercises on a weekly or daily basis, even if you feel dumb. gap years are great tools if utilized correctly and fuck anyone who has anything to say about it. college will always be there, and even if you don't go at all for any reason - it wouldn't be the end of the world. there must be a lot of pressure rn for you but so much of it is just,,, bullshit. hindsight will allow you to see that. just gotta let yourself get to that point by living the natural solutions to your worries, and getting by a day at a time. when that feels like too much, an hour at a time. you're obviously still young as hell and your future is so much wider than your brain is allowing you to see. i promise! above all though, keep in mind that there are people to talk to and countless resources out there whenever you're struggling - whether it's at school, or in your community or your family, or through your doctor - there is always someone to turn to and always a way forward. the biggest trick of mental illness is that it convinces you otherwise, but it's a notorious liar. so. try not to self isolate even when the urge is there, and done be afraid to talk about what's going on in your head. let it be embarrassing. block everything else out and look at what will make you feel happier with your own existence from an objective perspective. cause that's all that matters really. anyway i'm wishing you so much luck with your final year and whatever happens, i hope you make some decent memories :) be sure to cut yourself some slack when possible. remember, the desicion is yours, no matter what. sending a lot of love to you!! let me know if you need a friend or want to walk more about it. (also goddess of wisdom sfhjhsdhh im a whole dumbass but. thank you lil peach 💞)

Watchtower Sold The Names of All Their Members to Homeland Security

Paul MacDonald RN MA Dipl

The Watchtower Cult: Trading the Safety and Security of its Members For Their Very Own Financial Gain, Security And Prosperity.

Prisonplanet

3001 S. lamar

Suite 100 78704

Austin

United States of America

Dear Mr Jones,

I write to you in connection with the work you have uncovered on Homeland Security Clergy Response Teams.

I write concerning the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York.

Romans 13 Part 1 Alex Jones

I have uncovered a Tax Return dating back to the year 2007 that highlights their 501C3 status, but was wondering if their relationship with Homeland Security could actually go back even further?

Romans 13 Part 2 Alex Jones

This is not only in light of the work you began to uncover as far back as 2006, but also in light of the fact that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society having a secret relationship with the UN as an NGO. 

Watchtower and Good World Government

This relationship continues to this very day with Paul Gillies from Glasgow who acts in the capacity of spokesman for the Watchtower.

Gillies, however has recently moved to the Watchtower HQ due to his part in the cover up of Child Sex Abuse scandals.

This relationship was brought to light by the Guardian Newspaper in London due to the fact that the relationship was kept secret for those 10 years, and it is a relationship that the Watchtower still does not wish to discuss to this day.

They [the Watchtower] even go as far as to [suppress] any mention of this very SECRET RELATIONSHIP [at all costs] and no matter who gets hurt in the process of keeping that relationship secret.

This relationship with the UN leads us directly on to their current relationship with Homeland Security and their current 501c3 Status. A status that only Homeland Security has the authority to grant.

The Watchtower as a Registered UN NGO

I assume, and correctly, that the 7 million strong members of this group have not been informed of this new relationship. I also assume [correctly] that they are also unaware of what this relationship entails, and what bearing it has on their future safety.

And when I speak of members, this includes ex members, as their personal details have also been sold on. Because, little do they know that all their details were sent to the DHS in 2005 as part of a UN directive.

The members of this group are totally in the dark as to what is going on, especially where Fema Camps are concerned. They have no idea that these camps will be used in the future eradication of those that oppose the rapidly oncoming One World Government. And when I speak of eradication, I speak of mass extermination.

FEMA Camps USA

But, the Watchtower, in exchange for their own prosperity, they have once again sold out the members of their group-and without their members prior knowledge and consent.

The members of this group have been sold out once again, but this time it includes that of their very own futures, as well as the safety of their lives have been sold out and all for the sake of the Watchtower looking after its own interests which amount to $8 billion dollars……you can readily see why they sold out.

They claim to be the one and only true religion, but as you have said on your show, Christ would never sell out the flock, but these “so called” brothers of Christ have.

With the UN relationship, they were obliged to write in their magazines concerning this monster and what it does, and how it benefited the World, so as to maintain NGO status which they had to re-apply for on a yearly basis-again without the knowledge and consent of their members.

Now, they receive tax exemption in exchange for preaching the Governments message and not that of Gods. They are misleading a people in their care, without these people knowing what is ahead, and they really have lead the sheep to the slaughter.

The members of this group, even former members, they do not realize the full implications of this action taken by Watchtower, they are asleep as to what is going on and what is going to happen, and they have little idea of what this sell out means for them, and it’s a sell out which involves the very safety of their lives.

I hereby fax you the details for your perusal.

Watchtower 501C3 Certification

I, and indeed the 7 million strong members of this group would be glad of some kind of clarification to the truth of this. The tax returns and 501 C3 status are still all available online. This is the proof which exits currently to show that this is very real.

I would be glad if you could answer this question, but in doing so, address this 7 million strong group and inform them as to the “reality” and what this “reality” involves.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours Very Sincerely

Lockdown Can’t Hold My Ideas Back

Rachel, the lecturer in charge of the covid challenge, recommended to all the students to submit an idea to AUT’s The X Challenge (which is what the covid challenge is partially based off). I thought I would try enter as many ideas as possible to have the best chance of one going somewhere.

So over the past week (or more? time flies when you’re stuck at home) I came up with multiple quick ideas based on what I was noticing around me. I’ve realized how easy it is for me to come up with ideas when I just focus on the things happening around me and how I fit in with it all, and how I can help. It also helps to keep the idea simple and not overthink it. Then in the couple of days before the submission was due (May 11th) I developed my strongest ideas and submitted.

Here are the ideas I created: (warning, long read)

FoodBuzz

The aim of this idea is to cut back unnecessary waiting time for food customers, and easing the stress off of restaurants when the food is taking longer to prepare. This idea would be especially important for lock down since small restaurants often have difficulties with the influx of customers wanting to buy food out, and for the customers who might be impatient when waiting longer than they were expecting.

My solution is to create an app that is simple and could be widely used by restaurants for displaying food, prices, waiting times but most importantly a pager that buzzes the customer's phone to let them know when their food is ready.

This idea is partially based on the few restaurants that use a pager, but my idea has been planned in the hopes of making that notifying system used more widely. 

My idea is unique because it would take inspiration from food apps UberEats and NoWait as an example. However FoodBuzz would have a simpler interface for both restaurants and customers, be easy to use and most importantly have a pager.

There would be separate interfaces for a restaurant employee and the customer. Through the app the customer would give their order, be given a wait time and when the food is ready the restaurant worker would press a button to make the customer's phone buzz when the food is ready to go.

This idea stemmed after my family decided to get takeaways for the first time in level 3, and we were told by the restaurant it would take 30 mins. But when we went to pick up, we had to wait outside for another 30 mins along with a large amount of other customers all trying to keep their distance. I could see inside the restaurant that the employee's were stressed but trying their best. That's when I wanted to do something for both the restaurants and the customers to make their lives easier.

It was also apparent in the community that people were discussing how much longer it was taking to get food ordered/delivered.

Treasure Love (AKA Trove)

With schools currently closed due to Covid-19, families are having to re-adjust to having their children around all the time while at home.

This is a great opportunity to encourage family bonding, however I am aware that some parents are struggling keeping their children entertained. 

How I plan to help children (and their parents) is to design a digital treasure hunt experience. The parent/s would download the app, and then go for a walk around their neighborhood to find each picture. Trove is an augmented reality app which activates when the camera is focused on a picture, and then give them a riddle, puzzle or photo which leads them to the next location and then the steps are repeated.

This idea is different from other solutions because it encourages parents to go out for a walk with their children, to heighten the bond between the family and helping their children learn at the same time. 

It's also unique because augmented reality is still relatively new, and this experience of combining augmented reality with pictures and puzzles I believe hasn't been made before.

Since I am a kindergarten teaching assistant, I am fully aware of the level of energy children have, the importance of playing to help them learn, and the best ways to keep their mind active. My connections within the education sector would help greatly in the creation of Trove.

My inspiration for this idea is a combination of two things, a concept and a medium. 

The concept came from families doing the "Teddy Bear Hunt" while in lock down; they put teddy bears in their windows so when children go for walks with their family the children have something to look out for. 

The medium came from the time I visited the Art Gallery and there was an art piece called Incense Sweaters & Ice, which had 12 pictures hanging on the wall which could be activated using their app "WYD RN?". When the phone camera was focused on the pictures, the app activates augmented reality (AR) features like gifs, videos and music. There are examples of the art and how it worked below.

HanDoff

Medical professionals are one of the most at-risk of getting infections, so correct disposal of contaminated items are key. Due to the current situation with covid-19, they're even busier with the amount of patients they have to tend to, so they also need to use their time efficiently in order to keep up with the demand.

I was curious about how they dealt with their gloves so I did some research. After watching videos of how to correctly remove the disposable gloves and testing it myself, I noticed how tedious it was taking them off and it made me consider how often medical professionals have to do that everyday.

My idea aims to aid medical professionals through reducing the time it takes to do simple but frequent tasks, reducing the risk of contamination and leaving time for the more important matters.

HanDoff would be a station in the bathroom similar to the hand dryer however it removes the disposable gloves and subsequently moves them to the bin; allowing the staff to then wash their hands.

HanDoff is unique because it creates the opportunity to have an upgrade to the way contaminated items (like gloves) are dealt with in the medical industry. 

Medical professionals are undeniably highly valued and if there's anything we can do to make their lives easier it's a path that should be taken. It's important to protect them since they protect us. The idea is important because it could make a difference to reduce the spread of contaminants and infections, especially among the staff.

I am able to develop this project to it's full potential since a lot of my relatives and some of my neighbors work in the medical field so I can have constant feedback throughout the process.

^ Most basic conceptual design I could come up with ^

My next step is waiting for the results of the submission, but meanwhile developing those ideas further and identifying the one that resonates with me the most.
