If you know me well, or even just a little, chances are you've seen me running around with glasses on my head.
Not on my face, but on top of my head. Or falling off my head. Or, hooked on the front of my shirt. Or even looped through my bag. Or, if I'm trying to see something far away, you've maybe seen glasses on my face.
Moral of the story here? My glasses never land in a case, and they are often, temporarily, misplaced.
But it's okay! I have multiple pairs! Instead of trying to be a perfect glasses owner, I buy multiples. Ya win some, ya lose some. For this reason, I am always on the look-out for new frames.
Having lots of great glasses is like having lots of favorite jeans: No such thing as too many.
I recently heard about David Kind glasses, and I was totally intrigued:
An at-home try-on glasses program that offers high quality frames and lenses, free shipping, a seamless order process, and a personal stylist. A few seconds browsing their website and I was hooked. Sign me up.
Here's how the at-home process worked:
I uploaded some head shots so my stylist, Sami, knew what she was workin' with.
The website also lets you pull pics direct from your Facebook profile. Easy. Next, I was supposed to pick three styles I wanted to try, and then Sami would pick three styles. This is where I got a little high maintenance, and wanted to pick four (I know, I know, I'm a millennial). I was really interested in seeing variation in color, so I wanted to try two different frames, each in two different colors. Sami was great, let me carry on in my high maintenance ways, and selected two other awesome frames for me.
My box arrived a few days later, and man do these guys deliver on presentation. A beautiful cork box, and a neat envelope with a note from Sami and next step directions. I want to keep this cork box and its organized contents on my dresser forever. But I can't, so let's get to the contents:
My Picks
The Madison in Heather
I was drawn to the Madison because it is a fairly large frame, but in a feminine shape. Black is classic, and I thought the varied pearl/grey tortoise on the inside was a nice contrast (though you cant see this much in the picture)
The Madison in Cerulean Blue
A deep blue with some lighter highlights. These match my eyes, and are neutral for me, since I'm always in denim (even at the office).
The Ace in Morado Tortoise
A bold frame. Modern and edgy. On trend, but a lot of people have similar frames. I like the variation in this tortoise.
The Ace in Matte Pine
Same bold frame, but a softer, unique color.
Sami's Picks
The Trenton in Pine
A contemporary, clean, and classic frame. I love the color of these, and the shape is similar to a pair I already own, so I am, of course, drawn.
The Louis in Red Havana
A wide frame, but also thinner, and less "heavy" looking. The keyhole bridge is unique. I would have never picked these for myself, but I put them on and instantly liked the twist.
Help Me Decide!
The Louis or the Madison in Blue?
Let me know what you think in the comments below... no really, I need your help! The Madison is something I had in mind, and they would serve me well morning through night. The Louis, on the other hand, is unexpected. I feel a little Ivy League in these. They are more refined.
If I could, I would get both, but ... budgets.
Overall, I loved the David Kind experience. I can't yet attest to how they stand up to my glasses-flinging ways, but the quality is among the highest I've seen. Give them a try! You'll love.

Reshaping Shakespeare on the student stage
From as early as 1901, University of Melbourne students have been performing Shakespeare at the Union House Theatre.
It's hard to know how students would have interpreted Shakespeare back then, but from the mid-1970s there was a noticeable trend worldwide toward modernising Shakespeare's settings so they would resonate more easily with contemporary audiences, and so they could present commentary on multiple political events.
A 1977 production of Richard III (RIII) and a 1980 interpretation of Richard II (RII) by Union House Theatre were considered radical at the time because both productions were played promenade-style, meaning the audience moved with the cast through the entire theatre, and action was not confined only to the stage.
Alumnus Peter King who designed the show and played the part of Richard in RIII says the intent was to create a "situationist spectacle".
Situationism was an avant-garde, Marxist, anti-authoritarian cultural movement of the early twentieth century which used the concept of spectacle to raise awareness of political issues.
To facilitate this spectacle, the entire stage, including backstage and wings were painted "a painful gloss white" denoting the access-all-areas approach that was being taken," King explains.
This proved problematic because with no assigned audience seats the actors "had to do some serious clambering over crowds to enact intimacies or find other performers."
Eventually red paint had to be used to mark out areas the audience was not to enter.
Mark Williams – who went on to complete his Honours thesis on the performance history of Richard II and ultimately his doctorate at Oxford on seventeenth-century dramaturgy – played Richard in RII and co-directed it with King.
Mark Williams (standing) as Richard II in the 1980 production by Union House Theatre.
An audience unseated
Williams recalls how that production took 'spectacle' staging one step further by introducing timber platforms to cover the audience's seats.
"By using the entire auditorium as a stage the directors were better able to articulate the political alliances and schisms that divided characters in those stories."
It should prove to be one of the most adventurous, enormous and successful productions of this University … The result is a creative, energised, hard-fisted assault which leaves one trembling with excitement.
King says because there were no seats, the audience took up watching positions instinctively, thereby becoming unwitting members of crowds, battles, depositions and witnesses to murder during the play.
"With the action taking place around the peripheries of the expanded space, voids opened and yawned in the centre of the theatre".
And in line with the contemporary tendency to modernise context, RIII was played as a post-World War One allegory, while the creators of 1980's RII production (many of whom had produced and/or performed in '77's RIII, chose to stay with the political milieu of the second world war, this time staging RII as taking place in the pre-war era, and referencing the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII. Kingship was marked by a cravat, and queenship by a fur stole.
RIII received a "rave review" in 1977's October/November edition of the student production Farrago, the reviewer writing: "It is very difficult to review [it] without raving…[it] should prove to be one of the most adventurous, enormous and successful productions of this University … The result is a creative, energised, hard-fisted assault which leaves one trembling with excitement."
These days Melbourne University's Shakespeare Company has taken up the challenge of re-working and radicalising Shakespeare's plays.
Founded in 2005, this student-directed theatre group dedicated to all things Shakespeare performs at least one production a year. Callouts for auditions and notifications are communicated en masse via their Facebook page.
Hamlet goes sci-fi
Alex Talamo who directed Hamlet in 2011 wanted to explore the relationship between Shakespearean theatre and sci-fi film gore as both employ exaggerated styles of performance. She drew inspiration from classic 1980s transformative films like The Fly and Re-animator for their sci-fi horror appeal.
Hamlet's script was rewritten while maintaining all of Shakespeare's original words, to parallel the story of Jekyll and Hyde. Talamo says that Jack Richardson, the student who wrote the script "wanted to exploit the visceral nature of Hamlet's deteriorating sanity".
"The text itself suggest a Hamlet torn between two opposing forces wildly oscillating between action and inaction, and the Jekyll and Hyde metaphor offered the opportunity to consider this in its most extreme version," she says.
To highlight the spectacular elements of 1980s science fiction, Talamo used a live glam-rock band to create "an extreme, heightened experience for the audience, the way only a rock concert with blaring lights and a lead singer in tight glitter pants can."
Talamo's background in physical theatre led her to explore the choreography of the play, and set the performance in the 'Great Denmark Hospital'.
"I worked to create the sense of a busy hospital hallway, with people constantly entering and exiting making an appropriate metaphor of Hamlet's mind: a maze of lies, calculations and machinations.
"Cast members would explode through double swinging doors and band members would double as bandaged characters fuelling the frenzy of an emergency room teeming blood and injury," she explains.
Special effects and sci-fi gore featured in the Melbourne Shakespeare Company's 2011 production of Hamlet.
There was no shying away from special effects either, notably around the death scenes.
"The most complicated one involved a buzz saw that was used to cut Claudius's forehead, exposing brain and spraying about ten litres of UV blood across the stage from a spinning steel gurney".
The aesthetic was difficult to pull off and required a sophisticated and careful collaboration between set, lighting, sound, costume, props and special effects.
"For such an ambitious student theatre production, the cast really rose to all the choreographic and special effect challenges involved," she says.
Tilly Lunken's Onomatopoeia blog described this Hamlet as a meld of "schlock-horror with glam-rock in a grotesque hospital setting…[and had] the kind of energy that reenergises a source text that is hundreds of years old into an entirely new institution".
Of power and violence
To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death the Company put on Henry IV Part 1. Henry IV is the second play in Shakespeare's series of historical plays about British monarchs, and depicts Prince Harry's rise to the throne amid a civil war that threatens his family's reign.
Director of the play James Christensen believes Shakespeare's historical plays are often neglected for being rooted too distantly in the past and being seen as less relevant in contemporary society.
"In my experience of reading and engaging with these texts, they explore as profound an emotional and thematic scope as any of the more regularly performed plays," he says.
Like RIII and RII, a perennial theme is the exploration of power. In Henry IV Part 1, Christensen sought to study the "'performance' of power, and how it's maintained, as well as the ways in which violence is conceived and used to serve political ends."
Student theatre often mirrors issues in public discussion and Henry IV Part 1 is no different. Following his directorial instinct, Christensen wanted "to reimagine what the figure of the 'monarch', and the extreme political structures represented in Henry IV, might mean for a contemporary student community."
Characters were no longer gender specific and Kate Weston was cast as Princess Hal rather than a Prince, and Adelaide Greig as Queen Henry.
Patricia Di Risio's review for Stage Whispers found that "the presence of women in central roles brought the psychological relationship between power, violence and valour to the forefront."
The "brokering of power and the volatile nature of political alliances [was] no less ruthless or bloodthirsty and brought with it a different perspective to hyperbolic masculinity and what it means to rule with an iron fist.
"I anticipated her character to be particularly resonant with university students representing the balance between revelry and responsibility," he says.

UK government to legislate to broaden public-private terrorism reinsurer Pool Re's remit to include business interruption
Pool Re is to be freed up to cover business interruption losses that don't involve damage to commercial property.
The UK risk managers' association Airmic "strongly welcomed" the news.
Airmic's deputy CEO Julia Graham said: "The decision to allow Pool Re to cover business interruption will be warmly welcomed by industries in the UK and is a development that Airmic has always supported.
"It is a logical and much needed step, especially with the rapid changes in business models that are taking place," said Graham.
The government is to legislate to broaden the remit of the UK's state-backed terrorism reinsurer, John Glen, economic secretary to the Treasury announced to Parliament.
Until now, Pool Re has been able to cover for business interruption losses contingent on damage to property.
However, following the London Bridge terrorist attack last June, there was controversy that businesses inside the police cordon were unable to carry on their business for several weeks while investigations continued, but were unable to claim for business interruption losses.
"This government remains committed to ensuring that businesses can continue to secure insurance against the financial costs of terror attacks," Glen told Parliament.
Graham at Airmic said: "The potential cost to supply chains of future terrorist attacks is now every bit as great as the physical loss of buildings. The ability to transfer the BI element of terrorism risk to Pool Re will be a real benefit to risk managers."
Graeme Trudgill, executive director of the British Insurance Brokers' Association, also welcomed the announcement.
"Both Biba members and MPs had raised with us the changing nature of terrorism which is leaving businesses exposed. We raised our concerns with Pool Re on the need to extend their scheme. We also recognise the need to encourage more small businesses to buy any kind of terrorism cover as fewer than 3% of SMEs take up any cover at all," he said.
"This will help businesses affected by terrorism. In our 2018 Manifesto we called for legislation to be passed to extend the Pool Re facility, particularly in relation to denial of access cover."
ABI head of property Mark Shepherd said: "Pool Re plays an important role and we support updating its scope to reflect the changing nature of terror attacks.
"It is important to remember that there are already insurance products that offer business interruption cover where there has been no physical damage to the insured premises from a terrorist attack, but this should help cover become more widespread, provided the legislation is well thought through."

America has a strained, sometimes strange relationship with science. When science (or scientific findings, at any rate) vindicates what it already roundly believed to be true it is accepted, lauded, and embraced. When those same findings challenge deeply-held beliefs, desires or predilections, that same science is – sometimes the very same scientists are – very swiftly cast aside or turned into a rhetorical pincushion, an example of intellectual elites in an ivory tower who've lost touch with the common man. This strand of American anti-intellectualism has been so well studied as to border on cliche, so rather than examining it in detail I'm going to move on. It's mostly irrelevant to my eventual point, anyway.
Well, I'm an elite. I'm a scientist. I've been in the ivory tower, and have done plenty of biological, chemical and genetic research. At this very moment, I'm sitting in a lab working up exactly how much Benzene is in the municipal drinking water of various localities, maybe even yours (hint: basically none, in all probability). I think, even though sometimes people don't trust science or scientists, that it is still one of the most effective tools we have at making our world a measurably better place, when combined with good policy and unselfish motivations. So lets give it that policy framework and those motivations, I say.
Basically everyone is agreed that the Earth is pretty swell. We live here, and we like taking care of it. We plant trees, we try not to make a mess, and whenever possible we try to find and make better the good things about this pale blue dot we call home. While we may not always (and in fact almost never) all agree as to how, we can at least start with that common ground as out final aspiration and work out from there.
Specifically today, I'd like to talk about food. The way we produce food, in the United States especially, is in many ways really bad. For us, for the environment, for the rest of humanity, it's just bad. No, not that we make too many GMO crops or not enough organics, or too few GMOs and too many organics. Although I do have an opinion on that, I understand that that's a controversial issue that is best tackled when we've plenty of time to spare on exhausting debates. We don't have that kind of time today, or at least I am disinclined to having that particular debate right now. No, what I mean is that we use too much fertilizer (organic and conventional farms both do this), we use too much pesticide (organic and conventional farms both do this), we use too many fossil fuels transporting out food halfway round the world, and we produce too much food that too few people can afford (organic and conventional farms both do this), and we have successfully made unprofitable the farming practices that allowed farmers to be responsible stewards of the land for generations (again, organic and conventional farms both do this). That's turning farming into the province of Agribusiness, of Monsanto. That is a bad thing, for people and the environment, for producers and consumers.
First of all, we need to recognize that farmers fundamentally want to care for the land. The land is their legacy, and is the inheritance they pass on to their children. We need to enable them to be the stewards they want to be, instead of structuring our laws so that they are encouraged to farm in a way that is, over the long-term, unsustainable. Also, we need to structure our laws so that they encourage and enable small farmers to prosper, so that farming doesn't become the province of mega-corporations who have no inherent interest in environmental stewardship, sustainability, or the common good.
Next, we need to recognize that our good intentions sometimes have really devastating consequences. For instance, you'd think that providing food aid (to Africa, for instance) would be a no-brainer. People are hungry so feed them, right? Unfortunately, as good as those intentions are, it doesn't quite work out that way. By flying tons of food over to countries who just need a little temporary help, we depress the prices of food in those countries and make it impossible for the farmers there to make a profit. As a result, they are driven out of business. When a country has no farmers of its own other than subsistence farmers, it can't ever stop being helped with food aid from abroad. Also, it turns out that the fuel cost to fly food around the world is immense. It would be much cheaper in the long run if we could instead spur the growth of local food production, instead of relying on our own food and flying it halfway round the world.
Next, we need to recognize that while we may not have a common preferred means to achieve the goal of sustainable food production, we do have that goal in common no matter where we are or who we are talking to. Very few people indeed want unsustainable agriculture. So instead of focusing in particular on how we get there, just set our destination as a common end point and reward those who get farther along on that path. That way, no matter who ends up being right – GMOs,/GE crops organics, heirlooms, holistic farming, permaculture, polyculture, etc – we'll have still gotten farther along that path. So no matter who 'wins,' we all win in the end. I think we can all agree that that's a good thing.
But how do we do it? Well, my ideas aren't perfect, and aren't an ideal solution, but here are a few of them.
Restructuring farm subsidies:
Currently in the United States, we essentially pay farmers a certain minimum income per acre per year, up to a certain maximum value, regardless of the amount of crops they produce. However, we subsidize crops at different rates per acre depending on what is grown. Unsurprisingly then, farmers tend to plant what the government subsidizes at the highest rate in order to earn the most they can per acre of crops. Then, they plant the same thing next year, and the year after, and the year after, fertilizing the land with synthetic fertilizers as necessary in order to maintain productivity. For the same reason, they use pesticides as much as they need to, to combat the ever-growing number of insects that prey on their crops.
What I'd like to see is that instead of paying farmers a variable amount for the crops they produce, pay them a subsidy based upon producing what we need. In order to see to that, I propose that we create a panel in the Dept. of Agriculture that would be tasked with setting a target each year for the number of tons of each major crop that American farms ought to produce. Then, pay farmers to meet that target. Rely on things like food processors and lobbyists to communicate with this body the needs of those they represent, and have them then use that knowledge to get us to where we need to be. In addition, use farm subsidies to encourage Best Practices in agriculture. For instance –
* Increase the per acre subsidy by 5-10% if a farmer plants a different thing on that acre this year than he planted there last year (crop rotation)
* Increase the per acre subsidy by 5-10% if a farmer uses substantially less pesticide than is typical
* Increase the per acre subsidy by 5-10% if a farmer uses substantially less fertilizer than is typical
* Increase the per acre subsidy by 5-10% if a farmer produces at least three to five different crops in their fields
* Decrease the per acre subsidy by 10-20% if the farm is owned by a corporation worth more than, say, $20 million
Restructuring Food Aid:
One of the other areas that we need to reform is the way we provide food aid to the developing world. Currently, what we do is simple. When a place demonstrates a need for it, we fly food over to that place and distribute it, generally free of charge. While this helps solve the immediate problem of starvation in those areas, it drives local farmers out of business. In so doing, it locks those countries into a cycle of dependency on foreign food aid. Rather than allow that, we need to find a better way to help people when they need help, but also help them to in the long term help themselves.
What I'd like to see is that any time we activate our food aid program, we then appropriate a dollar amount to that program equivalent to the number of tons of food we intend to disburse, according to the local market price of that food. Then, we go into the country and buy their entire crop of food at the market price plus 5%, and whatever money we have left over we instead devote to flying food aid to that country, up to a maximum number of tons that is equated with the needs of that country. Then next year, we do the same thing, and keep doing it until local production is such that we are no longer sending them food aid. At that point their own domestic production will be self-sustaining, and they will no longer need our help.
Those are my initial thoughts. What are yours?

Skybox Lumen, 29 April 2018. Scanned lumen print, inverted.
These were made with the skybox pinhole camera (pictured below) on the occasion of the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, 2018. This camera is specifically made to look at the sky. It has a short focal length and is built from bits of lumber picked out of a dumpster
I loaded the skybox and left it out in the back garden before I went to bed Saturday night. Sunday was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and this camera stayed out there all day, letting the sun burn its path into the paper inside. The trees held back their silhouettes as the sky added its illumination. I finally brought the camera inside after dark, which made this a 24-hour exposure. With times like that, who needs a shutter?!
This is a lumen print, which means that the image is made by giving the paper such extreme overexposure that the paper darkens by itself. Lumen prints are nifty because you don't need a darkroom to make them, nor do you need pristine photo paper. I make them using a pack of ancient Kodak RC paper that is too old and fogged for normal darkroom work. It feels good to still be able to put that silver to good use.

When you take the time to step out of your own culture--where you're surrounded by the beliefs and practices you've grown up with--you're introduced to new ideas, and ones that may surprise you. Different countries have made different degrees of progress concerning a girl's place in society, and some of this progress, or lack thereof, has been documented by the global campaign, Girl Rising. Following the stories of three girls living in countries with different social practices, we will explore and answer these essential questions:
How do cultural beliefs influence and affect a girl's life? How are educational opportunities for girls tied to these beliefs?
Suma, Nepal
Suma is a Nepali girl whose parents arranged for her to be "bonded" when she was younger, meaning that she would be forced into labor---to remain a slave, to remain a piece of property. Her experience was a traumatic one---one that is hard for her to speak about, even though the memories will remain with her forever. In an effort to cope with the pain and suffering she was put through, she would write songs to express her voice that had been suppressed in her bondage.
It is believed in her culture that women do not have the right to an education. While she works for her master, her brothers attend school. Even more extreme, the idea of giving birth to a girl is deemed "thoughtless." Now free, Suma spreads awareness of the unjust treatment of girls in her culture, and undergoes training to become a medical assistant.
Suma grew up in a culture in which her only use is for that of manual labor. This identity assigned from birth takes away a girl's voice--it takes away her worth, and it takes away her ability to learn and to live a life that is her own.
Mariama, Sierra Leone
Mariama is a girl from Sierra Leone whose dad passed away when she was young. Her uncle then married her mom, as was custom when a father died, and also married another woman. Mariama describes this as "the perfect family," showing that polygamy is a practiced and accepted part of her culture. Unlike Suma, Mariama has the opportunity to attend school, although certain members of her community have questioned the influence an education has had on her, and whether or not it has caused her to lose respect for her dad. The same is said when she gets a job at a local radio station. Radios are quite popular in Sierra Leone, and Mariama takes this opportunity to use her voice and share her ideas with the girls that listen to the station. As mentioned before, many questioned the idea of a girl holding a job, as well as staying out late for both social and work related reasons. The gossip surrounding Mariama caused a temporary rift within her family, but luckily it was just that---temporary.
Mariama is a dreamer. She appreciates the opportunity she has to learn and to work and inspire others. Despite any negative feedback she's received, she continues to follow the path she's forged for herself, and won't take no for an answer.
Amina, Afghanistan
Amina, grew up surrounded by male violence. Whether the source be her father, her brother, or her future husband, the male population holds an air of dominance over the girls. Similar to Suma's culture, the idea of a girl having an education is unheard of. Girls hold little value, to the point where Amina's mother was upset when she was born, for she wanted a boy. Amina's birth, therefore, wasn't even worth a birth certificate.
It is in her culture that women are destined for a "life of servitude," being sold into arranged marriages at ages as early as nine. Amina was sold at the age of eleven, and her parents used the money they were given to buy her brother a car.
In Afghanistan, there is a belief that a woman's identity must literally, and figuratively, be masked. Once an adult, a girl cannot show her face, and the only opportunity a girl has is to serve a man. Amina, however, is tired of living a life that others chose for her. She wants to learn without consequence, because she is happiest in the classroom. Recently, more and more girls in Afghanistan have been given the chance to have an education, which is one step out of the many necessary for a girl to uncover her identity.
Education is something a lot of people often take for granted. There are girls around the world who wish to have homework or a test to study for. Certain cultures around the world put girls into categories. They oppress them, and try to convince them that they are unworthy of the opportunities given to men. Sometimes, these cultural beliefs manage to strip a young girl of her identity---manage to succeed in convincing her that she is undeserving. Other times, however, a girl will fight back. Girls like Suma, Mariama, and Amina recognize that they are worth an education, and that their voices have power. By using their voices, they allow other girls to hear them; and as their momentum builds, it becomes more and more difficult to silence them.

On September 8 at around 9 a.m., students and faculty of UH Mānoa received an alarming email alerting them about an armed person possibly heading to the college campus. Despite this, UH did not call for a lock-down or evacuation, and the day continued normally.
The email alert provided helpful information such as a description of the suspect's vehicle and other helpful tips; however, some students felt that more could have been done to ensure their safety. While the email alert was sent out to inform students of a possible situation and police were on the scene, it only makes sense that students will worry for their well-being.
Unfortunately, the number of school shootings has increased over the last few years. According to Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, there were 64 school related shootings last year alone; 31 of those took place on college or university campuses. Dangerous situations can occur at any time and at any place, so it's best to be prepared. Read more >>

Sarah Palin on Donald Trump: 'Thank God That He's Running'
Breitbart ^ | 3 Aug 2015 | Michelle Moons
Posted on 8/4/2015, 2:33:22 AM by Red Steel
What started it all? Trump had simply said he would "love" to have former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin serve in an "official capacity" in the event of a Trump Presidency and this week the Governor herself joined the radio program.
Trump's praise for Palin made its way across national and international media and entertainment outlets including CNN, Fox, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, Fortune, Time, Washington Times, Washington Post, New York Daily News, local outlets, TMZ, E! and Cosmopolitan to name some as the comments went viral.
"I absolutely respected even more his boldness for being so candid about his opinion of me," Palin said of Trump's candidacy and comments as someone who says she does know Trump well.
She said Trump is "calling it like it is" as he is "not a politician."
He's gonna tell the truth and not couch all of his answers with some poll-tested, kind of namby pamby, vanilla flavored answer to anything. He's going to be candid and he's going to be candid and tell you what he thinks, what his solutions are and that's so refreshing in politics.
He's bringing issues that need to be talked about to the forefront of national debate Palin said.
"You're never going to find a perfect candidate," Palin told Scholla and …
I thank God that he's running. He's stirring it up. He's coaching, he's educating the other candidates, letting them know this is how you tap into the good part of a populist movement, these are the issues that the people are talking about, jobs, industry, the competition for our jobs via illegal aliens coming over open borders. All those things that Donald Trump has taken on, well the other candidates now, they have to step up their game.

Happy Valentine's Day
We arrived at school with the big smile on our faces. We did our morning jobs as usual and we're very excited to get inside and play with our toys. Puzzles and some table toys were prepared and we slowly found out how to fix them accordingly. Our teachers were always here to support and guide us with the activities and we definitely appreciate their efforts to make things better for us each day. On the carpet, we saw some dresses and other hats that we could play again today. We also did this yesterday and we enjoyed it. We then put on the wonderful dresses the we have in the classroom. We enjoyed the Spider-man suit, the princess dresses and the Winnie the Pooh costume. It was like we were movie stars as we walked around and showed it to our friends and teachers. We also took out some musical instruments that we could play for today. Our teachers also helped us to sing and play some wonderful rhythm that we have learned before. The kitchen area was also very popular. We put them in the tray as we cooked some delicious recipes for everyone.
We talked about Valentine's day during our circle time. We learned about the shape of the heart and also tried to find out where the location of our heart is. We realized that it was in our chest. We touched our chest and imagined our hearts beating. We also talked about the calendar and learned that after a few days we are going to celebrate our Valentine's day. And our teachers told us the word about LOVE. What is love? Why do we feel love? How do we show our love for everyone? Is the heart also representing the word LOVE? There were so many questions that we needed to answer about love. We tried our very best to understand the context but we will surely understand this more when the right time comes. We then sang "Skidamarink", "I love you" and "The heart shape says I love you". We gave a kiss, a big hug and a high five to our friends and teachers.
We went to the balcony upstairs and our friends enjoyed playing with the sand, colorful and shiny bottles and some mirrors from the tub. We counted the stones and wood as part of our special activity outside.
Tomorrow and the day after will be a holiday. So, have a great weekend and see you all again on Monday! Have a great Valentine's day!
Lots of love,
All the children from Buds class 2015-2016

Thermal damage to the retina following laser irradiation may be predicted using impulse and steady asymptotes derived from a first-order rate process and a simple thermal model for two time domains. Effects which have been observed experimentally in the short pulse (<10−4 s) region such as changes in energy per unit area for threshold damage as a function of image diameter may be explained with this model. The model allows rapid damage prediction without extensive calculations of temperature increase which normally require a large computer. Thermal damage to the ocular fundus resulting from a long pulse exposure may also be easily described with a simple steady-state model for temperature increase and damage.

An Old Mord 'Sith Tradition
By mysensitiveside
Sam was never that good at keeping rhythm, but she finds herself tapping out a steady beat almost everywhere she goes. Tapping her foot, or the pencil in her hand, or drumming her fingers on any surface available.
She doesn't even really notice that she's doing it until Harrison points it out. Even after he does, though, she can't quite figure out what the rhythm is, or why she can't seem to stop.
She doesn't realize until that afternoon, that is, when she makes her daily stop by the hospital.
She's tapping out the beat of Brooke's heart; she's been listening to the heart monitor for long enough that the rhythm is now stuck deep in her head.
So she sits, and she waits, and she taps along to the beeping sound, killing time until the moment when Brooke will finally wake up. Cara had died many times before, but this was the first time that it truly scared her. She wouldn't let it show, obviously, but Cara could feel time stretching out unbearably as she waited and waited and waited for the breath of life to come.
She'd never been scared before, because she'd had nothing much to lose.
But now... Now Cara could barely stand the thought of never seeing Kahlan again.
It couldn't have been very long, but it felt like an eternity before Cara was finally pulled back into the land of the living.
A terrified Kahlan was the first person Cara saw, and without thinking, the Mord 'Sith simply reached up and tugged the brunette down into a searing kiss.
A fierce blush ran up Kahlan's cheeks as the women parted, but she didn't seem too disconcerted by Cara's actions. Cara cleared her throat. "Sorry. Old Mord 'Sith custom. You have to kiss the first person you see after you've been brought back to life."
Cara glared in the direction of Mistress Amelia, apparently the one to bring her back, warning her to play along.
"Yes," Amelia agreed convincingly. "One of our oldest."
Kahlan simply nodded, a shy smile crossing her lips.
Now that the lie was in place, Cara thought... Maybe she'd have to start dying more often.

A dying soldier's last wish for a photo he was found holding to be returned to his family was fulfilled by the German who killed him, as personal stories marking the centenary of World War One emerge.
Sergeant Percy Buck clutched the black and white photo of his wife Bertha and young son Cyril as he lay fatally wounded in a shell hole on the Western Front in 1917.
On the back, he had written his address and asked for whoever found the photo to post it to his loved ones in the event of his death.
Sgt Buck would have assumed it would be a British comrade who would do the kindly deed if required.
But the person who recovered the poignant image from his body was Gefreiter Josef Wilczek, the German soldier who is most likely to have fired the shots that killed Sgt Buck.
In a remarkable act of humanity, Gefr Wilczek sent the photo to the Red Cross in Geneva along with a forwarding note.
He wrote: "He was holding the card in his hand and the finder was asked to forward it to his wife. I, wishing to fulfil the last will of the dead comrade, send it to you.
"May he rest in peace."
But in carrying out the stranger's final wish Gefr Wilczek may have deprived Sgt Buck of a war grave for his family to visit.
The photo would have been a key item that would have helped identify his body. In the end it is thought Sgt Buck was buried in an unmarked grave in Flanders.
And in another sad twist, Gefr Wilczek did not survive the First World War and was killed on October 31, 1918 just two weeks before the Armistice.
Now Sgt Buck's grandaughter, Christina Reynolds, has unearthed the letter the German sent to her grandmother along with the devastating telegram informing her of her husband's death.
And part of the emotive archive that has come to light nearly 100 years later is a photo of Sgt Buck with his wife and son taken on the same occasion as the one returned to them.
Upon finding the documents, Mrs Reynolds, from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, showed them to the newly-formed Herts at War project, set up to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.
Mrs Reynolds, whose late father Cyril was aged three when his father died, said: "My father barely knew his father but he had these items in a box.
"The box has been passed down to me and in it were these letters by the German soldier and the Red Cross explaining the return of the photo to my grandmother in 1917.
"It was this German soldier who probably killed my grandfather in an act of war.
"He didn't have to take the time out and maybe risk punishment to fulfil my grandfather's wishes. He could have left it there.
"The two men didn't know each other but it was very kind of him to do what he did for a fellow soldier."
Sgt Buck served in the Hertfordshire Regiment and trained troops in rifle practice before being sent to the Western Front in December 1916.
In July 1917 the men took part in a major dawn offensive in the Third Battle of Ypres, otherwise known as Passchendaele.
The night before the men went over the top, Sgt Buck wrote the request on the back of the photo and showed it to a colleague.
The next morning his battalion were at St Julien at Flanders and came under heavy machine gun fire which caused them to conduct a fighting withdrawal.
Sgt Buck was shot in the side and fell into the shell hole.
Mrs Reynolds, 58, said until now the family did not know how Sgt Buck had died.
But as a result of her coming forward, researchers for the Herts at War team have uncovered an eye-witness account of his death.
In 1918, a Private Ramsell told the Enquiry Department for Wounded and Missing: "We went over the top together at St Julien front.
"I did not see him (Percy) hit but several other fellows did. He was hit in the side and fell into a shell hole. He was too severely wounded to move.
"He showed me a photo of his wife and child the night before. On the back of it he had written his wife's address and the words 'whoever finds this please forward', or words like that.
"We never saw him again and his body was never found."
Mrs Reynolds said: "All the family knew was that my grandfather was missing in action and then confirmed as killed in action.
"His body has never been found and we have never really known what happened to him until now.
"We still don't know where he is, only that he is buried out there somewhere.
"I just wish my father was still alive today because he would have wanted to know."
Sgt Buck was aged 26 when he was killed. His widow Bertha, who he married in 1912, died in 1962.
Dan Hill, of the Herts at War project, said: "We are covering 20,000 different stories and this one stood out because it was an incredible moment of humanity in the carnage of war.
"It was right in the thick of the action and this one German soldier took it upon himself to do a dying comrade this remarkable favour."

A temperature of about 45 degrees Fahrenheit or above sends the legwear packing. Well, in the year of the "Polar Vortex," I have worn shorts 6 out of the 15 days in January of 2014.
Now, I am far from being a proponent of the global warming theories out there, but, according to a recent article published by the Associated Press, written by Seth Borenstein, statistically, we are becoming a nation of "Weather Wussies."
The article states, "As the world warms, the U.S. is getting fewer bitter cold spells like the one that gripped most of the nation last week. So when a deep freeze strikes, scientists say, it seems more unprecedented than it really is. The average daily temperature for the lower 48 states dropped to 17.9 degrees a week ago Monday, which was the first deep freeze of that magnitude in 17 years. Previously, according to an Associated Press analysis, such cold extremes have occurred every four years since 1900."
Schools closed, weather forecasters warned that people should stay indoors, even pets were advised to do their business indoors.
Meteorologist Greg Carbin, from NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration listed 58 days in the past 115 years in which the national temperature average has been below 18 degrees. Between 1970 and 1989, it happened a dozen times. It occurred twice in the 1990s, and then there were none until the infamous Vortex.
Oh, and the killer chill? it was the 55th recorded coldest day since 1900.
Simply put, when it doesn't get as cold as frequently or as often, it feels colder than it really is.
Please don't ask me to repeat that sentence.
But you know where I'm going.
Here's my take on the situation. We live in a world of instant communication and the transmission of tremendous amounts of information in a short amount of time. We also have about 10,000 television channels, all willing to sensationalize everything.
I live in Pennsylvania. It is January. It is going to be cold. There's going to be snow, ice, and wind. Folks living near a beach are going to experience tropical storms. Tornadoes terrorize the country's midsection, and wildfires cause great destruction in the west.
As runners, we have the solution: be prepared, and be able to adapt.
Layering and staying dry are the keys to remaining warm during days with polar-like temperatures. Confront windy days by running an out-and-back course, with a pleasant tailwind on your way home. Wear fabrics that insulate you and repel the rain. Have special routes in mind for snowy days, and if it's icy, then you may consider the treadmill.
Be a weather forecast junkie. Get several reports, and if you have flexibility in your schedule, plan your run for the least unpleasant time of day. Remain bright and visible, as winter weather often decreases visibility.
And when you receive a comment from a civilian like, "You're nuts," as you train in 5-degree weather or through a deep snow, just tell them you're not a "Weather Wussie."

God this is beautiful. I just wish I could understand this language.
God this is beautiful. I just wish I could understand this language.
Number of the beast minus one?
Anyway, nice animation.
Dang, this movie was just oozing with creativity. It was hard to tell what the message was. Was it meant to be about isolation? Was it about how easily we make fools of ourselves? I'll probably never find out. The animation was incredible.
I have always been a fan of surreal stuff. Salvador Dali is one of my favorite artists! The music was so fitting as well. It was just as surreal as the actual video! This is why you're one of my favorite artists here.
im russian and the song's name means "epmtiness"
Some things never change. It's been almost ten years and kol belov is still creating magnificent little movies.
I have to browse through kollaps.ru some time or another...

Author Notes: Spaghetti and Broccoli, as we called it, is simple, delicious comfort food and a typical dish from the Puglia region, where my mom came from.
It is a family favorite and a "hit" with friends outside the family as well; this recipe is handed down from one generation to the next, it is a dish we have often. I've adapted from my Grandma who liked her pasta cheesy and mild, as did my mother, but I like it tweaked up with lemon zest and red pepper flakes.
This dish was a fitting tribute paid to my Grandmother, after funeral services, when we served endless Spaghetti and Broccoli – definitely a true Celebration of her Life, in our family.
Serves: a crowd
1 lb. dry spaghetti (I prefer De Cecco)
1 lb. broccoli flowers and stems (I use 1 bag of frozen when broccoli is no longer garden fresh)
6-8 large garlic cloves, 1/2 of them minced, 1/2 sliced
Zest from 1 lemon
1-2 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes - to your taste
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil…divided in half
1 medium onion, diced
3/4 teaspoon sea salt…plus extra for the boiling pasta water
1/4 cup pasta water...divided in half
1 cup micro-plane grated Pecorino/Parmesan mix - divided in half.
Extra cheese for individual plates after serving.
- In a small bowl, add the minced garlic, lemon zest and red pepper flakes; whisk and reserve for later.
- Place a large heatproof serving dish or bowl in the oven, heated @ 200 degrees. Note: I sometimes use a large saute pan.
- Start a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the spaghetti noodles half way. Add the broccoli. Finish cooking until pasta is al dente and broccoli is tender. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water - divide in half.
- Meanwhile, in a nonstick pan, heat the first 3 tablespoons of olive oil; add onion and saute until soft.
- Add the sliced garlic and 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, stir until the garlic is pale yellow colored.
- Take pan off the heat. Stir in the reserved minced garlic/lemon zest/red pepper flakes and add 2 tablespoons of the pasta water. Reserve until needed in step #8.
- Drain the spaghetti/broccoli and transfer to the warmed serving bowl or dish. Add the last 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining pasta water - toss to coat.
- Now add the reserved onion/garlic, olive oil mixture (from step #6) and the first half of grated cheese, toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with the last half of the grated cheese and serve.
- Or at this point you can cover with foil and let sit in oven for up to a half hour - the pasta and broccoli will be cooked a bit more…but personally, I like it that way.

Baseball is back! Pitchers and catchers reported to camp last week all across the Sunshine State. While many up North are freezing in their home cities, 15 MLB squads are reporting to cities across Florida and Grapefruit League exhibition play is set to begin. Here's a changes to take note of this Spring:
- The Houston Astros no longer train in Kissimmee and the Washington Nationals no longer train in Viera (both a bummer for us Central Floridians). Both teams are opening a new joint facility, Ballpark of The Palms, in West Palm Beach.
- Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, home of the Detroit Tigers, has undergone a $48 million renovation and the Tigers have a contract with the city of Lakeland through 2036. The Tigers have held Spring Training in Lakeland since 1934.
- The New York Yankees home at George M. Steinbrenner Field has undergone $40 million in renovations and the Yankees are locked in with the city of Tampa through 2046. The Yankees have held Spring Training in Tampa since 1996.
- The Atlanta Braves are still at Champion Stadium at Walt Disney World, but are negotiating with Sarasota for a new facility. This may be one of the final few seasons the Braves play in Central Florida.
- The World Baseball Classic kicks off on March will pull some of the leagues top stars away from Spring Training. Marlins Park in Miami will host First Round games from Pool C, which includes: United States, Canada, Columbia and Dominican Republic.
If you are looking for more details on Spring Training and would like to catch your team in action, there are several great online resources available, including: Florida Grapefruit League, Spring Training Online and Spring Training Connection.
Play ball!

(San Francisco, CA) Two steadfast advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights—each of whom traveled different paths to become vocal and effective activists for dignity and inclusion—have been named the first recipients of Keshet's new Landres Courage for Dignity Award. Jennifer Gorovitz, former CEO of the San Francisco-based Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund (JCF), and Ayala Katz, who became an outspoken leader for LGBT equality in Israel following the murder of her gay son, Nir, will be honored in December as part of Glimmer, Keshet's first major fundraiser in the Bay Area.
Keshet is the nation's largest organization working for LGBT equality and inclusion in all areas of Jewish life. Former Keshet Board member Shawn Landres created the award to recognize individuals who display public courage as allies to support the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people or others whose dignity is at stake.
Idit Klein, Keshet's founding executive director, noted that Jennifer and Ayala were selected because they show how individuals working within vastly different circumstances can be powerful advocates for LGBT people.
"Jennifer made her mark as a professional in charge of a very influential and well respected Jewish organization in the United States. At the same time, Ayala took her profound grief and turned it into a catalyst for changing hearts and minds in Israel. Keshet is very proud to recognize both women for the actions they have taken and the differences they have made," Klein said.
During her tenure as the first woman CEO among the 20 largest Jewish federations in America, Gorovitz championed outreach and inclusion for all Jews in the Bay Area who felt excluded from Jewish life. Her leadership on LGBT issues set a national example for Jewish leaders across the country. She was a strong advocate for inclusion in synagogues and schools and stressed the importance of staff training to eliminate prejudice and prevent bullying of LGBT teens. Recognizing the importance of long-term financial support for LGBT inclusion, Jennifer also led the JCF to make the largest LGBT-oriented gift by any Jewish federation.
"I'm deeply honored and humbled to receive the Landres Courage for Dignity Award," said Gorovitz. "In my leadership role of the San Francisco-based Jewish Community Federation and beyond, I strived for full inclusion of the LGBT community in all Jewish institutions as simply what's right, fair, wonderful and essential to progress as a People and as a society more broadly. I am inspired to continue to work for inclusion and diversity with the generosity of spirit expressed in the creation of this award. I am also particularly moved by both the tragedy and subsequent dedication of my co-recipient, Ayala Katz, to advancing LGBT rights in Israel. Barriers are broken and new paths are forged when we all stand together day after day, year after year, with passion and fortitude, and no one should have to go it alone."
While Jennifer Gorovitz made her mark in the Bay Area, Ayala Katz has worked tirelessly to promote LGBT equality in Israel. Her life was torn apart on August 1, 2009, when Nir was one of two Israelis murdered in a shooting at the Bar Noar, a Tel Aviv center for LGBT youth, where he volunteered as a counselor. Nir was only 26 years old.
Katz responded to her incalculable loss by becoming a vocal activist in Israel's LGBT movement. Without fear of repercussions, she gave interviews, and spoke at rallies, conferences, and schools. In addition, she worked with LGBT organizations to create the Nir Katz Center for Violence, Discrimination and Homophobia Reporting, which opened in Tel Aviv in 2012. She chaired Tehila, an Israeli support organization for parents of LGBT children. In 2010, she organized a meeting between Gideon Starr, Israel's Minister of Education, and LGBT groups—the first such meeting of its kind in Israel. When Nir's German-born partner faced deportation, Katz helped him obtain legal counsel, and went to the media with the message that her late son's partner deserved the same legal rights as a heterosexual in the same situation. As a result, the Interior Ministry reversed its decision and allowed Nir's partner to remain in Israel.
"Strengthening the values of compassion, dignity, and equality is my own 'engine' since my son was murdered in the hate crime against LGBT people in Tel Aviv on August 1st, 2009. So I am honored to be selected as one of the two people to receive the inaugural Landres Courage for Dignity Award from Keshet. I am excited to meet the people behind the valuable activities Keshet undertakes to expand inclusion and tolerance among Jewish communities, organizations, and families of LGBT people."
Shawn Landres, who established the award, said that Gorovitz and Katz both share values taught to him by his parents, Renata Landres and the late Dr. Peter Landres, who served as his inspiration for creating this award through their deep care for the welfare of anyone who has suffered because of discrimination.
"Jennifer Gorovitz and Ayala Katz exemplify courage and commitment to the fundamental dignity that is the birthright of every human being," said Landres. "That they have done so as public allies in the cause of LGBT inclusion is what makes them especially deserving of this honor."
Glimmer will take place Saturday evening, December 6, in San Francisco. For information on the event, and other Keshet programs and activities, visit https://www.keshetonline.org/events/glimmer.
Keshet is a national grassroots organization that works for the full equality and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Jews in Jewish life. Led and supported by LGBT Jews and straight allies, Keshet strives to cultivate the spirit and practice of inclusion in all parts of the Jewish community. Keshet began as a small, grassroots group working for change in the Greater Boston area, is now a national organization with offices in the Bay Area and Denver, in addition to a national office in Boston.
Keshet works for a world in which all Jewish organizations and communities are strengthened by LGBT inclusive policy, programming, culture, and leadership and where Jews of all sexual orientations and gender identities can live fully integrated Jewish lives. www.keshetonline.org

Speaker Setup: nVidia SoundStorm
nVidia SoundStorm is a program that lets users customize their sound settings. It consists of an equalizer, preset equalizer settings, setup of speakers, as well as the helpful "Test Tone" feature. The "Test Tone" feature is a feature where your computer sends sound out to their respective speaker to test the location of the sound. For example, the sound "Left Speaker" will be heard where the left speaker is, the words "Right Surround" will be heard where the right rear speaker is suppose to be, and so forth.
Results: The sounds were projected where they were suppose to be. However, it was very evident that the front left and right speaker sounds were much louder than those of the center and rear speakers. The most logical reason for this would be because since most sounds that are played are usually 2-channel (e.g. music, games, etc…), Zalman tried to focus on the a stronger stereo sound, just in case the users that were using the headphones were playing 2-channel sound, such as an mp3. Center sound was where it was suppose to be, in the center of the headphones. Surround rear sounds were heard at the back of the headphones. However, the center and rear surround channels are faint, and so users would not be able to gain an equal amount of sound from every channel, unless you lowered the volume of the front left and right channels (which is annoying in my opinion).

Terron Grant wins a four-round split decision over Stephon Alexander in an extremely close fight. Alexander scored a knockdown on Grant in the first, although it did look like a slip from ringside. The knockdown made no real difference, however.
The scores were 39-37 and 38-37 for Grant and 39-37 for Alexander. Grant is 4-0, two KO's. Alexander is now 4-5, four KO's.
Brief intermission now.
