The 2023 Mosman Art Prize - Australia's oldest and most recognised local government art award has been awarded to Sydney-based artist David Griggs. This work is from a series of paintings entitled Baseline, and the other works from this series are currently on display at GAG Projects, Adelaide. Of this series, David says: "Most recently my process is to make detailed paintings, before disrupting them with a more gestural application, to try to wash away the mechanisms we have as painters". Originating from a difficult medical experience, Griggs has approached this difficult subject matter with his characteristic honesty to create apainting that is chaotic and gestural, but ultimately touches on the vulnerability of our humanity.

When we wash our face with a cleanser, our skin can start to feel tight. With the application of a favorite moisturizer, that feeling often goes away. This perception of our skin might seem subjective, but researchers at Stanford recently revealed the mechanism behind these feelings. Their work, published this week in PNAS Nexus, demonstrates how mechanical changes at the outer surface of our skin translate into sensations and provides a quantitative approach for determining how people will perceive their skin after using a moisturizer or cleanser.

WASHINGTON: The climactic end of a seven-year voyage comes Sunday when a NASA capsule is due to land in the Utah desert, carrying to Earth the largest asteroid samples ever collected. Scientists have high hopes for the sample, saying it will provide a better understanding of the formation of our solar system and how Earth became habitable. The Osiris-Rex probe's final, fiery descent through Earth's atmosphere will be perilous, but the US space agency is hoping for a soft landing, around 9:00am local (15H00 GMT), in a military test range in northwestern Utah.

MANILA, Philippines – Higher oil and production costs incurred by its subsidiary, alongside lower output due to inclement weather, weighed down on the profitability of listed mining firm Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corp. last year. In a disclosure on Monday, Atlas Mining reported that consolidated net income reached P3.21 billion in 2022, down 17 percent from P3.86 billion in the past year. Gross revenues tumbled by 4 percent to P17.68 billion from P18.5 billion. 'The lower NIAT (net income after tax) was mainly due to the unprecedented spikes in fuel and energy prices that resulted in higher operating and production costs as well as lower production levels brought about by significant heavy rainfall volumes experienced by its wholly-owned operating mine, Carmen Copper Corp (CCC),' added the listed firm.
