Tingle and relax: ASMR creators face challenges to keep material fresh. Tapping is one of the sounds that can trigger ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) sensations for some people.
ASMR is the third most popular YouTube search term worldwide. ASMR, the euphoric tingling certain sounds provoke, has created online superstars with millions of followers. Is it just a weird fad, or could it help people with anxiety and depression?
But what is ASMR? There are six main types of triggers that induce the sensation: sounds (by far the most popular, usually involving soft voices, tapping or scratching); visuals (often gentle swooshing movements, such as paint being mixed); eating (watching and listening to people chew); crushing (the sight of objects like kinetic sand, sponges or slime being compressed) and role-playing. The final trigger Ð which the internet cannot reproduce, for now at least Ð is old-fashioned touch, such as someone ÒdrawingÓ on your back.

Photo collection explores history of the troubles in Northern Ireland - Apr 2015
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/t5rq
As Northern Ireland goes to the polls today (2 March 2017) photographer Valerio Berdini has released a photo collection exploring the troubled history of the country. Voters in Northern Ireland are voting today as part of the Assembly Election following the resignation of former Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. Valerio comments: "As part of an ongoing series of projects exploring Brexit and the repercussion on the United Kingdom equilibrium, series explores Northern Ireland in its most controversial history". "The Troubles" is the common name for the conflict that distressed Northern Ireland. It began in the late 60s and ended with the Belfast "Good Friday" Agreement of '98.

Suitcase Memories by Yuval Yairi
An artist has created haunting landscapes - on old and worn suitcases.
Yuval Yairi's nostalgia-tinged works sees sepia-toned images adorning the luggae, as if recounting the memories of trips once taken.
The Israeli captured the original photographs by travelling around in his old VW van and documenting picturesque locations. He was then able to imprint what he saw on the cases.
The scenes include crumbling rural buildings, a lone woman gazing at a ship and a building seemingly shot at night with all the lights on.
Yuval explains: "The series of Memory Suitcases is a part of my project of investigating the subject of memory.
"I took my suitcases on a photographic voyage around Israel in an old VW van, collecting with my camera some of the many stories left lying by the side of the road.
"Some of the images 'imprinted' on the suitcases, such as that of the tree house, echo childhood memories of Israel in the early 60s, memories common to a whole generation born before the Six Day War.
"Several of the suitcase images are of abandoned houses once belonging to Palestinian Arabs who escaped or were evacuated during the 1948 and 1967 wars. Some of the houses have remained untouched and decaying ever since; others have been inhabited by Jews who immigrated to Israel following the Second World War; others still are being converted into exclusive modern homes.
"All bear testimony to a far-from-remote history that we Israelis may try to forget, ignore or erase. Meanwhile, many Palestinians keep the keys to these houses, just as mementos, or in the hope of returning.
"A suitcase is perhaps the most potent and familiar image associated with migration, and for many different peoples an icon of wandering and displacement."

Suitcase Memories
Suitcase Memories by Yuval Yairi
An artist has created haunting landscapes - on old and worn suitcases.
Yuval Yairi's nostalgia-tinged works sees sepia-toned images adorning the luggae, as if recounting the memories of trips once taken.
The Israeli captured the original photographs by travelling around in his old VW van and documenting picturesque locations. He was then able to imprint what he saw on the cases.
The scenes include crumbling rural buildings, a lone woman gazing at a ship and a building seemingly shot at night with all the lights on.
Yuval explains: "The series of Memory Suitcases is a part of my project of investigating the subject of memory.

The Quirky Welsh Town of Portmeirion
July 7, 2007, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, Wales: Portmeirion, in North Wales, is a resort, where no one has ever lived. A self-taught Welsh architect named Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built it out of architectural salvage between the 1920s and 1970s, loosely based on his memories of trips to Portofino. Including a pagoda-shaped Chinoiserie gazebo, some Gothic obelisks, eucalyptus groves, a crenellated castle, a Mediterranean bell tower, a Jacobean town hall, and an Art Deco cylindrical watchtower. He kept improving Portmeirion until his death in 1978, age 94. It faces an estuary where at low tide one can walk across the sands and look out to sea. At high tide, the sea is lapping onto the shores. Every building in the village is either a shop, restaurant, hotel or self-catering accomodation. The village is booked out at high season, with numerous wedding receptions at the weekends. Very popular amongst the English and Welsh holidaymakers. Many who return to the same abode season after season. Hundreds of tourists visit every day, walking around the ornamental gardens, cobblestone paths, and shopping, eating ice-creams, or walking along the woodland and coastal paths, amongst a colourful assortment of hydrangea, rhododendrons, tree ferns and redwoods. The resort boasts two high class hotels, a la carte menus, a swimming pool, a lifesize concrete boat, topiary, pools and wishing wells. The creator describes the resort as "a home for fallen buildings," and its ragged skyline and playful narrow passageways which were meant to provide "more fun for more people." It does just that.///Woodlands and lake, with water lilies and with Temi Temple at Portmeirion. Credit: Nigel Dickinson / Polaris

July 7, 2007, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, Wales: Portmeirion, in North Wales, is a resort, where no one has ever lived. A self-taught Welsh architect named Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built it out of architectural salvage between the 1920s and 1970s, loosely based on his memories of trips to Portofino. Including a pagoda-shaped Chinoiserie gazebo, some Gothic obelisks, eucalyptus groves, a crenellated castle, a Mediterranean bell tower, a Jacobean town hall, and an Art Deco cylindrical watchtower. He kept improving Portmeirion until his death in 1978, age 94. It faces an estuary where at low tide one can walk across the sands and look out to sea. At high tide, the sea is lapping onto the shores. Every building in the village is either a shop, restaurant, hotel or self-catering accomodation. The village is booked out at high season, with numerous wedding receptions at the weekends. Very popular amongst the English and Welsh holidaymakers. Many who return to the same abode season after season. Hundreds of tourists visit every day, walking around the ornamental gardens, cobblestone paths, and shopping, eating ice-creams, or walking along the woodland and coastal paths, amongst a colourful assortment of hydrangea, rhododendrons, tree ferns and redwoods. The resort boasts two high class hotels, a la carte menus, a swimming pool, a lifesize concrete boat, topiary, pools and wishing wells. The creator describes the resort as "a home for fallen buildings," and its ragged skyline and playful narrow passageways which were meant to provide "more fun for more people." It does just that.///Ornamental central gardens of Portmeirion village. Flanked by Dome Gallery, Gothic tower, Renaissance collonades, with lwans, flowerbeds, topiary, pools and fountains..
