The Story of Us: Ryan
Some people show up on my table and they have been on their path to healing for quite sometime. This is true for Ryan. He was well along his own journey and knew the importance of having the kind of support that I provide. His presence is always a breath of fresh air and of genuine kindness. I am thankful that we have met and that he has and continues to trust me on his path of self discovery and self care.
1. How long have you been attending body and/or energy work sessions with Sonya?
I have been attending body/energy sessions with Sonya for two years.
2. How has your relationship grown, shifted and changed with your body during this time?
I am more aware of my body now, listening and paying closer attention to it, and taking greater care of myself now than I did before. I'm also able to release a lot of the energy that I pick up in everyday life on a consistent basis when I see Sonya.
3. How would you describe a typical session with Sonya?
The sessions are extremely relaxing, calming, and restorative. I leave every session wishing I had another 90 mins to repeat the session again.
4. Besides the actual energy and/or body work sessions, is there anything else you receive from these sessions?
Life guidance and coaching. Sonya really takes the time to get to know me on a deeper level so she can offer me suggestions on how to improve my overall quality of life.
5. Is there anything else that you would like to share about our relationship that we have cultivated over this long length of time?
Just to reinforce how lucky I am to have been introduced to Sonya. I'll continue to refer friends, colleagues, and the like to her.

Sin Bins - There must be an app for that?
This year the English Football Association is rolling out Sin Bins across grassroots football, which includes:
All men's leagues in the pyramid from Step 5 and below
All women's leagues in the pyramid from Tier 5 and below
All youth leagues and Sunday leagues too
The FA are allowed to implement the changes after IFAB (the body responsible for the Laws of the Game) added 'Temporary Dismissals' to the Laws of the Game in 2017. In the Laws of the Game, Football Associations around the world are able to adopt Temporary Dismissals (Sin-Bins) in grassroots football and can implement one of two systems, System A (all cautions result in a Sin Bin) or System B (selected cautions result in a Sin Bin).
The English FA chose to adopt System B (for dissent cautions) to help improve player behaviour on pitch and have piloted the procedure on 92 leagues over the last two seasons.
In anticipation to a nationwide roll out you may have seen there's been a whole host of training put on by County FA's up and down the country to clubs, players and referees. On this page you'll see the familiar chart of possible outcomes Sin Bins now introduce in matches, it must leave you thinking - surely there's an app for that? Well, we're glad to say there is. Read on to see how REFSIX handles Sin Bins for referees up and down the country.
When creating a game
Before you use REFSIX on a match you create a game on the REFSIX mobile app. When creating a game simply select Temporary Dismissals from the dropdown and enter the amount of minutes a sin bin should last for (10 minutes for adult, 8 for youth).
Giving a temporary dismissal in the game
Giving a sin bin in a game is effortless and takes a matter of seconds. Simply swipe to the team options menu, select the player number, select dissent and confirm the temporary dismissal. This will show a confirmation message that the player's temporary dismissal timer has started.
The app is fully aware of all of the different considerations you'll need in matches including:
A confirmation message will appear if a player gets another card whilst in the sin bin saying the player should not be able to return to the field.
If there is an injury during the sin bin time and you stop the watch as a referee, this time is added on to the temporary dismissal.
The timer pauses when you end the first half and commences again when the second half is started (the same with going in to Extra Time periods too).
A player is allowed to take part in Kicks from the Penalty mark after Extra Time even if they are still in the sin bin.
If a player is in the sin bin the app will not allow that player to be subbed or score a goal.
The outcomes
After the player has spent the allotted time in the sin bin the app will flash up a confirmation message and provide you with information if the player can continue or not, or can be subbed or not.
The REFSIX app has been used by 1000s of referees up and down the country and many have been using our sin bin feature during the last pilot season since we added it in August 2018. It's available for any referee to use for free, simply head to the AppStore or PlayStore and search for REFSIX or click the links below:

It's Friday! Why not wrap your week with a little T&A!
CBR News is back again to present an open and honest Q&A with Marvel Comics Vice President Executive Editors Tom Brevoort and Axel Alonso for our regular column: MARVEL T&A! Aside from being the minds behind the biggest franchises at the House of Ideas, the pair have taken the reins of the editorial staff on a day-to-day basis since the many changes that have upped the profile of both Marvel and the company's senior staff in the past year. So who better to look inside the halls of Marvel and make some memorable reader Q&A?
Each Friday, in addition to our regular CUP O' JOE installments, CBR presents a new interview with the T&A duo covering everything Marvel Comics. This week Tom and Axel speak to their roles when other editors launch major Marvel storylines from "Chaos War" to "Big Time" to the incoming "Age of X," dig into what characters will appear in the latter Mike Carey-penned X-series, discuss the impact fans have on character revivals and answer your questions on everything from the future of X-Statix to the fate of Rikki Barnes. Read on!
Kiel Phegley: Gentlemen, at the risk of jinxing myself here, I thought I'd start this week with the observation that from the point of view of the comics buyer, it seems a bit quiet out there these days. We've spoken before about how you guys at Marvel try to build the line in a way where big news and big stories hit at key times around things like the con season and San Diego. Is there a calmer time of year where you're focusing more on the nuts and bolts of monthly comics while steeling up for the next wave of big promotion and big events?
Tom Brevoort: Um...no. [Laughs] Not really. It's funny that you say that, because it shows the difference between where you are in your perception of the process and where we are in the process. Axel and I just had an incredibly busy, incredibly frantic week pulling a whole bunch of stuff together for the next nine to twelve months and figuring out some elements that are crucial to our publishing plan going forward. We couldn't be any more pressured and stressed right now, and there couldn't have any more going on than we have right now. You don't see that just yet, but you'll start to see it over the next two to four months as announcements start to get out. You may not have heard about it all yet, but that doesn't mean we're not working on it.
Axel Alonso: What Tom said. We've got some big announcements coming, but we have been busy bees.
I think part of how things are perceived by readers is that a number of bigger event-style stories, from "Chaos War"about to bring back all the dead characters to "Children's Crusade" ramping up to "Big Time" landing for Spider-Man, they're all in the middle of their runs. I know you guys don't edit a lot of those titles directly, but what role do you play in overseeing those bigger stories at their inception and as they play out?
Brevoort: I hope that we don't take a heavy hand with anything edited by other people. We take a hand, certainly. We were involved with the overall planning for and particularly the first issue of "Chaos War," for example, giving feedback to Mark Paniccia as he laid out what that story was going to be, and what characters it would involve. Especially as he planned "Dead Avengers" he talked a lot to me, and as he planned "Dead X-Men" he talked a lot with Axel. He made sure that the characters he wanted to use were actually dead and that he wouldn't be stepping on any plans we might have had in the ongoings. But the day-to-day bulk of and credit for what happens in the story is really Mark's. That's his baby.
In the same way, you mentioned Spider-Man and "Big Time," and certainly Steve [Wacker] and I talk often, and I look at any scripts he wants to get my input on. But he runs Spider-Man. That's his job, his gig, his responsibility. For the most part, I will back his play unless I have a very strong reaction to it, and even at that point it becomes a conversation between he and I to figure out what we think is the best course of action. But any editorial credit for "Amazing Spider-Man" is completely his.
"Crusade" I edit, so that's directly in my own hands.

KMS ver. 1.2.321 – MapleStory Glory: The Chosen One!
The fourth and final patch of the MapleStory Glory update has been released. This patch features the conclusion of the new story content, titled The Chosen One, and the corresponding Glory events.
KMS ver. 1.2.316 – 16th Anniversary (Pt.2) & Job Balancing!
The second part of the anniversary has been released, with a minigame collaboration with Crazy Arcade and more throwback events. This patch also includes job balancing skill changes (there are some changes from the test server patch).
This summer's update will begin on June 20, so look out for teasers coming soon!
KMST ver. 1.2.086 – Job Balance Adjustments
This test server patch has the second half of the anniversary as well as some job balancing. One of the new minigames is even a collaboration between MapleStory and Crazy Arcade!
KMS ver. 1.2.314 – Pink Bean World!
This patch was released on KMST last week but I didn't translate it since it basically only had events. For the next month, we have the Toben Hair Warrior and Haste events, and the Pink Bean World!
KMS ver. 1.2.313 – MapleStory Adventure: Squad!
The third and final patch of this winter's MapleStory Adventure update has been released. Titled Squad, this patch contains a new type of minigame called Maple Squad (which seems to be an event for now but I think it will become permanent later on) as well as a new theme dungeon and job balancing.
KMS ver. 1.2.309 – MapleStory Adventure: Skill Balancing & Pre-Registration!
The first patch for the winter has been released, and it's a bit disappointing haha. First of all, this winter's update is called MapleStory Adventure! There's not much information about it so far but it does have something to do with a place called Adventure Island.
This patch contains a pre-registration event so technically, the Adventure update will not start until January 10 (official server, test server patch should be on January 3).
This patch also contains the skill balancing from the last test server patch (as well as some extra changes) and the Christmas event for this year. There's even another Tera Burning event!
KMST ver. 1.2.079 – Winter Class Balancing
Okay so I was wrong, this test server patch (which will be coming to the official servers next week) is not the first one for the winter update. That will actually be on December 27 (and I think even that will be a 'pre-update' instead of an actual update). Instead, have some job balancing!

While Tokyo's colours are subdued when compared with many other parts of Asia, the city is full of wonderful forms and textures. After two weeks spent discovering autumnal Tokyo, I have a great respect for the meticulousness and pride of Japanese people in all they do. They know love (or the devil, whichever you prefer) resides in the details. From wandering around imposing stone walls of the Imperial Palace to sitting down to a bowl of tender tuna sashimi at the Tsukiji fish market, the attention to detail and ceremonious care given to each creation is evident. The largely neutral palette allows the interesting wood grains, fluted metal rain chains and waves of kawara – ceramic roof tiles – among other things, to take centre stage. Noting the consideration placed on every detail in Japan, it only felt right to photograph it that way – zoomed-up so you too can revel in the beauty of the smallest details.
If you'd like to read more from my Japan trip, check out Where to go in Tokyo, Kawara: Decoding Japanese Roof Tiles and The Meaning of Shide and Shimenawa.
Peace, love & inspiring travel,

Bewildering Stories welcomes...
Louis Brierley
Louis lives in Rochedale and has been writing since was ten. He wrote five novels by the time he was 20. Fantasy stories, he says, allow him to allude to reality without the restraints of norms or style.
"The Midnight Man" is a story about a young girl's dream, but its conclusion sidesteps our guideline about "dream stories." Nonetheless, the story illustrates what the author means by allusions to reality: "The Midnight Man" is a story about a story. It invites the readers to fill in many blanks on their own, in particular: For what is Aisha's father remorseful? Why does she have a semi-ethnic identity?
Readers may have other questions, as well, but they may find in the Midnight Man himself a figure akin to Terry Pratchett's character, Death. Pratchett's Death is a lonely bachelor with an odd taste in home furnishings, but he is really a kindly, compassionate soul, one might say, even a friend...
Louis Brierley's bio sketch can be found here.
Welcome to Bewildering Stories, Louis. We hope to hear from you again soon and often!

Your shopping cart is empty.
May 29, 2018
This is the conundrum; when I am lining up jobs, I am not producing work. When I am producing work,I am not lining up jobs. I know it is a time management issue, and it is an issue I have had trouble juggling for a very long time. Add to it the fact that I really just want to stay at the board, it makes those of us who are not natural born "salesmen" put the selling/marketing aspect of the business off for as long as possible. Guilty.
This is why my newsletter is so sporadic. I do have a schedule for marketing that I have every intention of sticking to, but I ignore like a new year's resolution. It seems more important to me to get the work done that I have promised, which feeds into my comfort zone of just doing the art. So I will try, yet again, to stick to the schedule... After I create yet another schedule to stick to.
Anyway, here's where things stand: I am finishing up 8 Magic the Gathering paintings on the back of proof cards (all Shivan Dragons) along with a large painting of Shivan Dragon. I was able to sneak in 2 pencil sketches on proof card backs during the drying times for the oils. A Shivan Dragon on one, showing the hand dropping a lantern, which is out of the frame in the card art, and a portrait of Half Dane on the other.
I enjoy doing the oils, but I really like doing the pencil sketches. They don't take any prep work and are more spontaneous. The oil paintings are more time consuming because of the prep and drying times that are needed, and I am not a miniatures artist. Painting that small is a real challenge for me, whereas drawing in pencil that size is very comfy.
This is, of course, in addition to the designing I do for my print on demand shops which do not all feature Magic stuff. The one that has Magic and other gaming art is "Nightmare Artist". The others are an interior design shop called "Ranting Centaur", a shop with Pagan themes in the "That Pagan Artist" shop, and "Fat boy Fossils" which features trilobites and ammonites. These are Zazzle shops. There is also "Fine Art America" with a little bit of everything, and "Eclectic Artisans" which is also a Pagan shop. (There. I've done my marketing for the day, whew!) The painting a day blog on blogspot gets attention when I am not fulfilling jobs. I did extra art so that I'd have a backlog to pull from for it, but that hasn't worked out as planned, so that page needs some love right now too.
So this is why it seems like I fall of the face of the earth every now and then and all you hear from me is crickets. OK, I'm off to do that schedule... well, maybe after I do a little more on those Shivan cards, they seem dry enough... Oh look, Facebook...

Always need good news stories
Just some positivity, because we could all use some more of this in our lives.
Video games are ephemeral art like drawing in foam on your coffee drink. In twenty years no consumer device will be able to run Dragon Age 2; in fifty years we won't remember what Dragon Age 2 was even about. Our memory is fallible and our machines are themselves memory, hindered by progression and anti-piracy measures as we are hindered by our own need to enforce the tyranny of story upon lawless experience. DOSBox will not save us. Final Fantasy VII's code was lost. All code will be lost. In two hundred years one of the Bioshock endings will be "apocrypha;" someone successfully reconstructs an OS that can run it in two hundred and nine years. "The cake is a lie"; nothing beside remains. My Dwarf Fortress worldgen is simple text, printable, archivable, non-human-readable, seafoam. Our legacy will be illegibility. Where lives death if not in us, and in our CD binders.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert… . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
— "Ozymandias", Percy Shelley ca. 1818
Makoto Kino - Sailor Jupiter
I translated this from an italian article, which you can read by yourself here → https://www.animeclick.it/news/209-Sailor+Moon+Kotaro.
Makoto Kino (木 野 ま こ と Kino Makoto) is the fourth Sailor warrior to appear.
Her battle name is Sailor Jupiter, the fighter protected by the planet Jupiter.
In the oriental tradition, the element of wood (extended to green trees and nature in general) is tied to the planet Jupiter and to the green color, which characterizes Makoto's clothes and her battle costume, green with pink bows, almost to remember a flower. In both civilian and transformed clothes, Makoto always wears a pair of rose-shaped earrings, to emphasize her connection with flowers, trees and nature.
The link is already explained by the name, as the surname of the girl, 木 野 Kino, contains the ideogram 木 ki / moku (wood, tree), which appears both in the Japanese name of Thursday and in that of the planet Jupiter.
The name ま こ と Makoto has the same pronunciation of the ideograms 誠 (sincerity) and 真 (truth). Being the name of the character written in hiragana, it is not clear the meaning that the author wanted to give her, so the full name of the warrior of Jupiter, "Ki no makoto", can be understood as 木 野 (の) 誠 "the sincerity of the trees" or as 木 野 (の) 真 "the truth of the trees".
Nature is the source of the powers of Sailor Jupiter, who, especially in the manga, uses attacks related to plants and flowers such as the Flower Hurricane or the Jupiter Coconut Cyclone. The only plant-based attack that appeared in the animated series is the Jupiter Oak Evolution, where oak leaves become an important symbol of the character in both the anime and the manga.
To underline Makoto's link with nature and green there's her dream, to become an a florist.
The planet Jupiter, from which Sailor Jupiter draws strength, is the largest of all the Solar System (it is not accidental, therefore, that Jupiter is the highest, the most curvaceous and the one with greater physical strength, among the warriors). Because of its size, which made it more visible than the other celestial bodies, since the times of the ancient Babylonians this planet has been associated with the main deity of the various cults, the so-called "father of the gods" (Indo-European expression from which the Latin Iuppiter). It was also called "planet protector", and in relation to this Sailor Jupiter is called "warrior of protection".
Storms and perturbations occur frequently on Jupiter.
The ancient Greeks associated it with Zeus (Ζεύς Zeus) the Jupiter (Iuppiter) of the ancient Romans, who was indeed the father of the gods in their pantheon, but also the lord of lightning and cloud, whose sacred tree, moreover, was just the Oak.
In the manga but also mainly in the anime, many Sailor Jupiter attacks are mainly based on lightning, a characterizing element of Zeus, such as the Supreme Thunder, the Supreme Thunder Dragon or the Sparkling Wide Pressure. Moreover, Jupiter's battle costume includes a small lightning rod antenna in the manga and in the anime, used to catalyze electricity.
In the comic it is also said that on Jupiter there is a castle called Io Castle which gives Sailor Jupiter the strength to become Eternal Sailor Jupiter.
Io is the name of a Jupiter's natural satellite, which takes its name from the homonymous character who, according to Greek mythology, was one of the lovers of the god Zeus, later transformed into a heifer because of Hera's jealousy.
In mythology, Zeus was also known for his numerous extramarital erotic adventures and for the numerous children from different women. It could refer to this aspect of the eponymous god of the planet Jupiter also the leitmotiv that characterizes Makoto in the cartoon, her way to fall in love with almost any boy who appears in the story with the excuse that reminds her a senpai from the past.
Born on December 5th, Makoto is a Sagittarius, ruled by the planet Jupiter, whose characteristic flower is the red rose, like those of the earrings worn by the girl.
Those born under this sign are characterized by an expansive character, a great openness of mind and a great humanitarian spirit, all qualities that are well suited to the "warrior of protection" who acts a bit like a mother for the other warriors, cooking good meals for them and acting like a real friend.
She has always been my favorite of the seshi for being a fighter and a carer, strong and yet vulnerable. Still a role model for the kind of woman I want to be.
like whats the average lifespan of an asgardian? like yeah thor is 1500 but what if thats just like 23 in human terms
googled "asgardian lifespan" found this,
so if thor is currently 1500 years old (said in infinity war)
- 5100/1500 = 3.4
so thors current age times 3.4 would be the average lifespan of an asgardian
to change that to human terms the average lifespan of a human is about 80 so
- 80/3.4
lsdmkfgjdfjsd oh my God…
thor really out here having the worst time of his life and hes like 23
i'm so puzzled by harry potter fics where hermione's doing the majority of the childcare instead of ron. hermione is ruthless and driven and a single child and boy does she get easily frustrated with people being stupid or weak. ron's from a big family with an attentive mom and he's an extremely sweet and supportive guy. if i was going to pick a full-time parent i'd go with ron every time.
like ron is the parent that teaches you to read and write and cook and ride a broom and share your toys and make up with your friends. hermione is the parent that picks your schoolyard bully up by the scruff and throws him over the fence and gets banned from all future PTA meetings.
You know what the Green Heron is basically the best heron because it is like 90% neck so when it is all folded down it looks like a giant head with wings and legs
but then suddenly ZOOP
fucking green herrons
What the fuck
In case you need proof that animals can lie.
no offence but let yourself be ugly!! you don't have to fix your hair if you're not going anywhere you don't have to cover up ur spots or change out of your lounge pants to go buy milk like damn we really gotta let ourselves be comfortable without constantly apologising for just looking normal and it's hard but i think we need to practice looking in the mirror and saying i look ugly af today and that's okay!! tru self care is letting urself be ugly tbh
I love this version of self-love because it's much more feasible for people who are self-conscious. Like it takes years of powerful reconditioning to convince yourself that your flaws, like stretch marks or acne or cellulitis, are attractive. It's basically impossible for most people.
But learning to say "so what, I'm ugly, there's more to life" not only overwrites this narrative that we have to feel attractive in some way (which is bs) but also reroutes your actual attention to just, living, instead of examining, evaluating, and judging your appearance
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They're everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
Omg the payoff for this post was incredible
reminder series: bleak yet comforting thoughts.
i specifically chose animals that are (or believed to be) extinct due to human influence: thylacine, great auk, baiji, west african black rhino, golden toad, dodo, passenger pigeon, and quagga. there are many other species i could have included. the plants are also based on extinct species, but i found much less information about extinct plants, unfortunately.
the text doesn't necessarily relate to each animal or their extinction. it's all basically the same idea: let's all be nice to each other, because today, the universe is vast and incomprehensible, we are all suffering, we are all going to die, and we're all in this together. for today.
i'm busy for a couple weeks with conventions, but after that i'm considering a companion series with ancient extinct animals, so feel free to send me your favorites :)
hi everybody, welcome to another wonderful episode of Weird Biology! I'm your host, Bunjy.
we're here today to talk about a seriously adoraweird critter with a heart of gold! (or maybe just fluff, it's hard to tell)
so put all your emotions in your front pocket where you can reach them and give it up for-
he's meow-vellous!
the Manul is a smallish wildcat native to the mountains of Central Asia. they are also called the Pallas Cat, after German Naturalist Peter Pallas. however, we won't be using that name because he was a fucking idiot.
seriously, he thought the Manul was related to the Persian, which is a breed of domestic cat. (Persians are descended from the African Wildcat just like the rest of housekittydom, sorry Pallas. you moron.)
also he didn't discover shit, the native Mongolians have been calling it the Manul since the first human to meet one got their shins clawed off hundreds of years ago.
and their scientific name, Otocolobus manul, means "ugly eared Manul". where are these scientists, I will fight them. FACE ME, COWARDS.
Manuls are about the size of a housecat, weighing up to 10 pounds. however unlike a housecat which is composed of about 30% fluff, the Manul is composed of nearly 110% fluff. there's barely any cat in there at all! you could probably stick your hand right through. try it yourself! go ahead, I'll watch from back here.
what? I just like to keep 10 feet and a solid barrier between myself and other people at all times. do it. you can trust me.
(no you can't)
anyway as you have possibly just found out from the emergency room doctor, there is in fact some cat inside the Manul's grand fluff and it is not fond of being pawed at by people. (Manuls make terrible pets, so get that thought out of your head right fucking now. go see them at the zoo like everyone else.) it's a shame, because that fur coat is goddam luxurious.
in fact, the Manul has the longest and thickest fur of any wildcat! this is because they live only at high elevations (up to 16,000 feet, which is 15,997 feet higher than I will tolerate), where the weather is windy and brutally cold. you've probably also noticed their tiny Garfield ears, which help to minimize heat loss. this combo keeps them toasty warm on otherwise bare mountainsides.
at least until Jim Davis sues them for copyright infringement.
though all these biology facts are very interesting, I must confess they aren't the reason that I've chosen the Manul for this week's topic. the real reason is that they're a bunch of hyperemotive memelords.
no seriously, the Manul has catapulted (har!) to internet fame in recent years because their round faces, wide expressive eyes and stubby bodies combine to form a perfect emotive machine. this cat can express emotions that haven't been invented yet, let alone named.
let's call this one "Swoom"
seriously, how can you top that? it's like a living emoticon.
this is "Woderous"
okay, where were we before I got distracted by cat memes? *paper rustles* ah, right. the spite chapter.
Manuls are ambush predators, despite their fluffy bulk. they mostly eat Pika, (sorry, Pokemon fans) a small rabbity creature that squeaks a lot and doesn't really deserve the fame Nintendo gave it. Manuls are solitary animals and live alone.
(this sounds sad, but it's actually because every Manul hates every other Manul in existence and not even god himself can change this)
this is not the face of a creature that enjoys the company of others.
Manuls avoid each other, keeping fiercely to their individual territories. the only contact adult cats have with each other at all is during the breeding season, which is pathetically short. after briefly working together to make some kittens, the Manuls part ways. (presumably while avoiding eye contact.)
after about three months the female gives birth to 2-6 bouncing baby kittens, which all hate each other immediately. seriously, Manul kittens growl and hiss at their littermates before they can even open their eyes! talk about sibling rivalry. once the kittens are old enough to make it alone, they'll take off in different directions and never call home again.
like the Brady Bunch, except very much not.
unfortunately the Manul is classified as Near Threatened in most of their range. human encroachment and environmental destruction takes a toll, but most of the problem is a little more cartoon villain-y than you'd expect.
see, humans really really really like that plush fur coat, but they like it even better as an actual fur coat. (I was going to make a 101 Manuls joke here but it was just too depressing.) Manuls are still hunted for their fur in a fair amount of their range, though that is beginning to change. many nations are putting protections in place for our favorite stubby emotion machine, and we can only hope this is enough to save the wonderful pile of antisocial fluff that is the Manul.
thanks for reading! you can find the rest of the Weird Biology series here.

Stuart Semple is so full of gentle but pointed snark and a burning desire for accessible art, I love him. I love that no matter what Anish Kapoor does, Stuart Semple will be there, making fun of him and selling affordable art supplies to anyone who wants them.
Iit smells like black cherry? Fuck yes
Is that the same guy that gave him a middle finger by making the wordest brightest pink and putting in the terms of use that the Vantablack asshole is the only man not allowed to use it?
I love this because it's like watching a comic book fight between an art themed hero and his super villain nemesis that wants to keep all the art things to himself.
Yes, and that same jerk broke said terms of use by having someone get him the pink pigment and he then literally gave Semple and the world the middle finger, after dipping it in the pink pigment. No class whatsoever.
Semple responded by somehow getting Vanta Black (or his own newly made pigment, can't remember which) and giving the peace sign to everyone with two voided out fingers. Seriously, they looked like a bad video edit.
Sounds like he's attempting to flush his reputation down the crapper with keeping such a huge advance in art technology to himself AND throwing a tempter tantrum over the backlash.
I'm glad this Semple dude is standing up his bullshit.
Ya'll are missing one very important point: Vantablack is caustic. Direct skin contact can cause really gnarly chemical burns. Despite that, the "void is staring back at you" black is something just about any artist would want to experiment with, even if you need to handle it as a hazmat chemical.
So, Semper's peace sign in his own "deep space between stars" black is downright incredible as it's SAFE. Anyone can use it, it even smells good without the scent affecting the color or consistency.
An artist in his studio whipped up a safe alternative to a pigment that chemical engineers have to make in a controlled lab.
Semper's vengence led to a breakthrough that benefits artists of all levels the world over, and that's just lovely.
It's like he used the power of righteous hatred the same way some people use the power of love.
His intense need to spite the VB asshole let to him making a scientific breakthrough that shits all over his product.
Spite is humanity's greatest power. I love it.

We're celebrating Siblings Day with these matching dresses worn by the Stetson sisters, granddaughters of the founder of Stetson hats. The sisters enjoyed dressing alike, so when Ann, age eighteen, chose a pink tulle dress for her 1927 debut party, Elizabeth, age twenty, had the same model made in aqua.

In awe at the size of this lad
Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn't warm your heart I don't know what could.
don't forget that he also bought arwen's horse for her stunt rider when she couldn't afford it awww
#also don't forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan
also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier.
Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.
if this isn't the best post i don't
So you're saying the entire Rohan army could have killed the Witch-King of Angmar.
Witch King: No living man can kill me!
several thousand riders of Rohan: *rip their fake beards off*
Witch King: Oh fuck…
it's so common for "being straight & cis is normal" people to get hung up on what's most evolutionarily "efficient" like they come at you with "if Men and Women didn't have sex and continue the species we wouldn't have made it this far so it doesn't make sense to be anything but Straight and Cis," and I really want to ask them when humans have Ever Ever Ever picked the most efficient route. Why did we ever leave the equator then in the first place, to willfully live on tundras and freezing islands where not much grows?
Why did people move to mountains where future generations needed to be born with bigger lungs to breathe right?
Why have humans historically, for tens of thousands of years, cared for the sick and the disabled and the injured even thought that wouldn't be an "efficient" use of resources? Why did we ever develop a sense of compassion at all?
Why did any human ever leave home to cross an ocean, or a desert, or a jungle, hoping to find a way to live whether they ended up?
We have never followed the rule of "efficiency." In fact, read any reputable paper on human evolution and success, and you'll see it argue that our refusal to follow the "efficient" road is what actually made the human species so successful–that our unrivaled adaptability and unprecedented resilience in an ever-changing world is what put us on top for so long.
So if you can't keep up with "all these new genders and sexualities," it seems like you're the inefficient one, the weak link, and you're going to get picked out and left behind.
My backyard is a fairly wild and untended little patch of woods, and there's more than one kind of tree there. There's maples, oaks, beech, birch, and a couple pines. Which is interesting, because a really naive approach to ecology would suggest that a single Best Tree would exist for the conditions of my backyard, and the woods would optimize themselves to be entirely made up of whatever the Best Tree is.
But more often in the real world, the optimal solution is an equilibrium of multiple species. Asking "which is stronger: oaks or maples?" misses the point that a diverse forest is stronger than a solid block of any one tree. It's also more true to the history of the land, and more likely to produce a sustainable future.
So you see.
"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
"Basically the price of a night on the town!"
"I'd love to help kickstart continued development! And 0 EUR/month really does make fiscal sense too... maybe I'll even get a shirt?" (there will be limited edition shirts for two and other goodies for each supporter as soon as we sold the 200)

Prince Rupert his declaration
Oxford: Leonard Lichfield, 1642. 4to. 8 pp. Second issue of first edition. Title (trimmed) within decorated woodcut border, woodcut device, initial and headpiece. Later boards with printed title pasted on front, new endpapers. Item #17559
Second issue of first edition. Rupert had acquired a reputation as a ruthless military leader, and he was the target of many Parliamentarian pamphlets. Even his white poodle, named Boy, was feared for his supposed supernatural powers. In response to numerous "malicious lying Pamphlets" the Prince penned this declaration intending to dispel rumors of his despicable actions like defacing churches. This tract demonstrates the importance of pamphlets during the English Civil War in the eyes of the public.
Prince Rupert (1619-1682), Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, was a younger son of the German prince Frederick V, Elector Palatine and his wife Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of James VI of Scotland (ultimately James I of England). He was thus nephew to Charles I and first cousin to Charles II. He became a top military general under Charles I. Following the restoration, he returned to England to become a senior English naval commander. Both patron of and participant in the sciences and arts, he was a founder of the Royal Society.

Back in 2010, I weighed 195lbs. It was the heaviest I have ever been and I was consistently lethargic. My mind sought adventure and a desire to take on the world, however, my body just wasn't cooperating.
My dear friend and neighbor then just met Alina Z and started consuming her green smoothies in the morning and throughout the day. His smoothies consisted of wheat grass, kale, blueberries, chia seeds, bananas and more. From these smoothies, not only did I see his waistline shrink, but he had an enormous amount of energy too.
This newfound energy, of course, helped him with his career directing large-scale community events. A few months later I also met Alina and started to incorporate a variety of green smoothie and juices in my life and the results have been tremendous.
From this quality nutrition, I lost 50 lbs and my energy level has skyrocketed. Finally, my body was in line with my desire to take on the world. My job requires me to travel and write and to stay in hotels and speak to doctors, patients, medical and business professionals and more. This newfound energy has not only helped me tackle multiple projects, but it has made me conscious of what I put in my body.
In addition, it has my mind sharper, improved my romance level in my relationships, made my skin glow and has brightened my outlook. It is neat how a simple alteration in my diet has created a whole array of positive change. Je ne regretted rien!

Well I am home from my FABULOUS Alaska cruise. I focused on eating healthy while indulging myself when I wanted to. There were many choices which really made it easy. (I maintained my weight) One morning they served a Spinach Tofu soup for breakfast. Yeah GREENS!! Didn't have a lot of choices for DARK greens, but managed and ate lots of fruits and vegetables.
Looking forward to returning to my routine eating everything you taught me to love. Went to Whole Foods and restocked, making my Quinoa for the week, and have lots of salad stuff, coconut water, greens, grains and beans. I look forward to your posts which are continuous coaching and encouragement for me.

Lila and I want to thank Alina Z for her wonderful vegan cooking demonstrations.
We were privileged to participate in her cooking classes at both the Boca Resort and at Whole Foods. The food she prepared was delicious. More importantly we walked away with the ability to duplicate Alina's recipes in our home.
Since we turned vegan several years ago, we have attended numerous cooking classes here in Florida and in other venues. Noone does it better than Alina.
We are blessed to have Alina here in South Florida.

The moment I met Alina I knew she was a very special person. She is filled with such a huge array of talent, knowledge and passion. I learn something new every time I work with her. Our customers really respond to her method of teaching and look forward to her classes each month.
Each of her classes has been full with a wait list within the first few days of registration. She is such a pleasure to work with, as well as inspiring. I look forward to hosting more events with her in the future.

Having multiple food intolerances and Crohn's disease, I was searching for a nutritionist that could work with my unique needs and help guide me to better health (and loose a few pounds along the way!) I immediately connected with Alina's approach to nutrition- grounded in eating whole foods and not depriving yourself, her philosophy about body and blood type and its effects on our weight and health-and decided she was the right fit.
Having a food company, I felt I'd tried most everything – but Alina introduced me to new super foods to add into my repertoire.
During my session with Alina I had a full flare of my Crohn's, and together we were able to calm the flare with foods that supported my medication and advice from my doctor.
In our discussions we went way deeper than just nutrition, tapping into why my body was upset and not following the direction of my mind. About two-thirds of the way thru the session my body and mind finally felt into sync.
She has taught me to rethink why I ate, what I eat and how to eat, and most importantly to listen to my body and what it is telling me. Nutrition is more than just nutrients and calories – it is giving your body what it TRUELY needs when it needs it – something Alina has taught me.

Alina Z is RAWmazing!
Her passion for health and vitality will be known to you within 3 minutes of being in her presence…and all of a sudden you just feel inspired to "Let Yourself Blossom!" Alina is one of those that are truly helping the world be a better place.
I am honored to know her – she most definitely is RAWkin' with PURE ENERGY!!!
~ Steve Factor,
Owner and Creator of Pure Energy Factor and RAWkin' Juice
I highly recommend her program and her approach.
Not only can Alina create nutritious and delicious meals, snacks, and juices she can guide you to a clearer more cognizant mind! It isn't a typical "therapy" session with Alina. It's a discussion with an old friend! If you don't believe me.. check out her blog! She takes any situation you present to her and puts it in terms you can relate to. For example: I would be having a hard time in my personal life and Alina, knowing my preferences, was able to take my situation, analyze it, and present it to me in terms of a shopping experience. Her ability to dissect and get to the root cause of situations, present them in ways that one can understand, and address them helped me get to a calmer and more productive space in life. She is true in her thoughts and will tell you what you need to hear but in a kind, warm, and loving way.
She helps one to clear out the toxins… not only in ones diet.. but in their lives. Her advice, like her food (especially the Kale chips and green juice) is fantastic and cleansing. You feel energized and refreshed after a session with Alina.
Andrea G., Arlington, VA
Alina offers her undeniable knowledge about living foods in a way that engages you from the start.
After knowing, working and observing Alina there is one comment that goes without saying….She is the consummate professional. Alina is serious about the importance of nutrition and how to achieve optimum results using food as the medium for curative measures, which is why her presentations are so unique and inspiring….she takes the burden of learning off of the participant and infuses her workshops and classes with fun so you don't even recognize how much you are learning. Alina is simply at the top of her game, and it is so refreshing to work with and know someone that is passionately walking her talk.
Odette Maria Artime
Alina is an extremely gifted coach.
So much of what blocks us from developing a more healthy lifestyle can not be approached by strict rules, expectations and the directive approach I have observed in health coaches and life coaches alike. Alina is approachable, down to earth and non-judgmental. She has the ability to connect with individuals of all backgrounds and make them feel at ease. This allows one to be honest with her and in turn to honest with themselves. Alina is unique because she is both knowledgeable and humble. She never presumes to know what you need, or why you do what you do, better than you do. Even if sometimes she does know better than you! She guides you while allowing you to grow at your own pace on your own terms. I am grateful to know and work with such an incredible agent of change.
Melissa Cramer, LCSW CAP
Thanks again for making me a part of such a wonderful experience!
Alina your weekend class was awesome, loved all of your "Z" Tips. The recipes where great, the food all tasted delicious I love how we can always change or "fix" a recipe. You are one of my favorite raw Food teachers, enjoy spending time with you always.

I feel great and my friends have even noticed a difference in my being!
When I first started drinking green smoothies I had been feeling full and heavy and my workouts were sluggish. Today, it has become a daily regiment where I make a fresh green smoothie every morning and have it around the same time, late morning.

It's a miRAWcle!
Being Russian is not just about being accustomed to cold and loving ballet. It's also about loving rich, fatty, highly-processed foods and being accustomed to skeptically question everything. Everything.
Now imagine transitioning to incorporating (and craving!) the raw (and overall healthier) dishes and drinks – just after four days with Alina Zhukovskaya and her not only super-healthy, all-organic but also amazingly tasty approach to eating and – living.
Alina not only is highly knowledgeable about the various dietary theories, she also offers very easy-going, relaxed (oh and did I mention – delicious) practical ways to advise and assist me, a busy professional who also has an active social life and trains in martial arts, on how to achieve and sustain a high energy level throughout my day — through healthier nutrition that doesn't demand much time or self-torture.
Thank you Alina! I feel stronger, more energetic, and more – light!
Yelena B., Washington DC
You are my catalyst to a future of balanced eating and living, and I am eternally grateful.
As a yoga teacher and practitioner for over 30 years, I have been exposed to many principals of healthy eating and living, but a recent turn of events in my private and professional life, just threw everything I know to be good for me out of wack, and I was living on hard boiled, albeit, organic eggs.
My cholesterol level was rising for the first time in my life, and I had no energy. I now am including sprouts, green drinks and grains into my daily diet, no matter how busy I get, and the results are amazing. In three months my cholesterol level dropped and my nerves are healing.
Sometimes we think we know more than we really do, and sometimes we just need a jump start.
Boca Raton, FL
With Alina's knowledge and guidance, my immune system has also improved & my allergies are much more controlled!!
I've been Vegan for over 15 years, but I was eating too many processed & unhealthy foods . Alina introduced me to raw Vegan dishes that are not only more nutritious but taste much better. Now, not only is my diet kind to animals & the planet, its kind to me too!
Janine F., Fort Lauderdale, FL
I have lost a few pounds and feel great!
I stopped using processed products and enjoy shopping for food now! You have been great, helped me not only on my eating habits, but overall. Taught me how to appreciate and enjoy food, how to be balanced and indulge without feeling guilty.
— Romy,
Aventura, FL
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed your class and the awesome food you prepared.
I/we would love to partake in more classes. Please keep me notified of upcoming events….I will be there! Everyone should come take a look at your classes, I really learned a lot about how raw food 'works' to the benefit of our bodies…love all the 'Z Notes'!!!
After working with Alina, I got the extra muscle I was looking for without the side-effects or empty calories.
I've been working out at the gym since my early 20's, but I wanted to put on a little bit more muscle. Alina designed a personalized plan for me and introduced me to alternative sources of protein from what I was using before.
Alina is one of the best in her field.
She has the knowledge and compassion that is so strong, that you just want to hear what she has to say all day. She is one of the most insightful people I know. Her understanding and warmth is what makes her stand out most. Her creative mind helps you see things in a different perspective. Alina always wants to learn more, from nutritional theories to different acts of wellbeing. She has a genuine passion for what she does as a health counselor and it shows just by talking with her. She has helped me in so many ways which has led me to discover so much about my eating habits, and I know her work will strive because it comes naturally to Alina. She is simply the best health counselor I know.
Thank you for making me healthier.
After working with Alina for just a few weeks, I started to feel better and my energy level has increased tremendously. I loved the food, especially the raw vegan pizza and hummus.
Alina restored my faith.
I was a skeptic of raw food after visiting a local restaurant specializing in such dishes and did not enjoy it, but then Alina restored my faith. Her in-depth knowledge in the fields of health, nutrition and digestion enabled her to develop a delicious meal plan for me that gave me energy and had me feeling better than I have in years.

The Metropolitan Opera Club--Opera's Biggest Fans
I didn't know the Metropolitan Opera Club existed until just a few years ago, but they've had a lasting presence in the history of the Metropolitan Opera for over 125 years now. The Metropolitan Opera Club consider themselves opera's biggest fans, and have cultivated relationships with principal singers, members of the Orchestra, and to our delight, members of the Chorus. Club members see multiple performances at the Met, but members also travel to opera houses around the world (I've heard people talk about visiting Santa Fe Opera, The Bayreuth Festival, and Vienna State Opera) throughout the year for even more performances. The Chorus loves our MOC friends, but few know who they are.
In 1893 at the "Old Met", a private gentlemen's club was founded called The Vaudeville Club. It boasted a private room on the Grand Tier level near a box of about 50 seats that they reserved for performances. Apparently, they spent their intermissions visiting female operagoers and enjoying private performances by vaudeville acts like Vesta Victoria. According to Martin Mayer's "The Met: One Hundred Years of Grand Opera":
It was also possible to get a drink, or several, in the club's room across the corridor. "Memberships were high," wrote the Club's historian affectionately in 1949, "and so, at times, were members."
Shortly after its formation, the club changed its name to the Metropolitan Opera Club. More importantly, they changed their focus from intermission shenanigans to the art form of opera. They opened their membership to women in the 1980's, and their mission currently concentrates on cultivating vocal and instrumental music and social engagement among its members.
The Club now resides in a private restaurant on the Dress Circle level of the Met, complete with a chef and headwaiter, and is accessed by a private elevator in the Met's lobby. The elegant space was designed by Angelo Donghia in 1966. The room features a silver-leaf ceiling and a chandelier, and on the bar sits a bronze bust of tenor Giovanni Martinelli. When I first visited members John Brewer and Susan Clearwater in the Club, I was struck by the chic decor and "old-school" elegance. It's exactly the type of room you'd expect for an institution with its kind of history. But the members are friendly and engaging, with unrivaled knowledge of opera.
I routinely feel underdressed when I'm visiting the Club. One tradition they haven't changed over the years is wearing formal attire for performances and Club dinners. Known as the "Penguins" by the average opera patron, members wear white tie and tails and gowns for opening nights and turn to black tie for midweek performances. If you see the Penguins on the Dress Circle level, say hello — they're proud of the moniker!
The Chorus' association with the MOC began in 2017 with a presentation of the choruses from La Traviata, with the help of MOC members and friends John Brewer and Susan Clearwater. We organized the presentation around the particulars of executing the score with the right style and character needed for the piece, complete with a demonstration of what it was like to sing wearing the Act II masks from the Willy Decker production. The following year saw a La Bohème presentation, and in February of this year we explored Carmen.
Each of these operas is very familiar to Club members — they see over 130 performances a season, after all. So we endeavor to make the presentation interesting by inviting our Chorus Master Donald Palumbo to speak about what it takes to prepare each score. The intricacies of each piece are demonstrated by Chorus volunteers singing, say, the "conversational" quality of La Bohème. The Bohème chorus should sound like the busy Café Momus, with voices coming from all around you, but it has to carry in the Metropolitan Opera house full of 3,800 seats.
The selection we sang in our Carmen presentation ran the gamut in terms of character: the Soldiers' lazy opening "Sur la place", the sultry yet finely-detailed Habañera (Carmen was played by chorister Stephanie Chigas), the women's frantic "fight" scene and a Toreador song with chorister Ned Hanlon as Escamillo. Each opera presents issues for choristers, such as "how do I sing this long, legato line while staged to lay on the floor?" or "how can I 'cheat' my voice out to the house without sacrificing the action of the scene?" The presentations end with a Q&A session, which can cover topics like backstage drama, staging logistics, old vs. new productions, and our personal backgrounds. We also invite Club members each season to a handful of our musical rehearsals held in List Hall. There, they see the "nitty gritty" of putting together an opera chorus from the ground up.
Club members have a similar relationship with the Orchestra, and are able to hear individual players when they join guest lecturer Maestro Joseph Colaneri for his series of talks for the Club. In his lectures, he'll detail the history of the opera he's highlighting, concentrating on historical context, musical or dramatic themes, and the composer's life or body of work. Sometimes Orchestra members will play a string quartet by the composer, or musical examples from the opera. At one I attended, principal flutist Seth Morris played the gorgeous introduction to "Casta Diva" from Norma, demonstrating how much his melody is really just another vocal line set for flute.
The Club has hosted dinners for various principal singers through the years, presenting them with honorary Club memberships, with Elina Garanca, Sonya Yoncheva, and Piotr Beczala being the most recently honored. The dinner features an interview with Opera News' Editor in Chief F. Paul Driscoll covering the career and life of each artist prior to an opera performance in the house. Dessert is served during the first intermission, with built-in social time with the artist. This Spring, the Club chose Chorus Master Donald Palumbo for an honorary membership, and a group from the chorus sang the finale of La Clemenza di Tito with choristers singing the solo parts as a surprise performance for Maestro Palumbo and the members.
Although the Club has no affiliation with the Metropolitan Opera Association, you can thank the Club for numerous contributions around the house — they fund revival costs each year (the past few years have included the revivals of Don Giovanni, Madama Butterfly and Anna Bolena), similar contributions for special productions, the purchasing of tickets worth a total of $500,000 each season, with perhaps the most visible donation: the Met's gold curtain. The MOC funded the 1979 installation of the Scalamandre silk gold curtain with an endowment which pays for replacement costs, like the new curtain installed in 2005.
As you see, they have a voracious appetite for opera, and music in general. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Metropolitan Opera Club, and are happy to count these "biggest fans of opera" as our friends.

Dr. Schleier-Smith's research with laser-cooled atoms pushes the frontier of quantum technologies
Just 40 quantum mechanical particles can contain more information than the world's largest supercomputer. Scientists dream of exploiting the extreme information density in quantum mechanical systems to enable new paradigms of computation or to construct ultra-precise compact sensors. Realizing these visions will require surmounting major experimental and conceptual challenges surrounding the generation and preservation of entanglement--the intricate tapestry of quantum correlations among particles. Dr. Monika Schleier-Smith, of Stanford University, tackles the problem of many-particle quantum control in experiments with laser-cooled atoms. Her top-down approach offers prospects for advancing technologies ranging from timekeeping and navigation to secure telecommunications.
A recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, Dr. Schleier-Smith combines a desire to push the frontiers of knowledge with a keen awareness of the power of fundamental research to transform technology. Her track record includes surpassing the standard quantum limit on the stability of an atomic clock by engineering entanglement among many thousands of atoms. One of the greatest challenges in quantum engineering is that a system is necessarily altered whenever it is observed. Thus, Dr. Schleier-Smith works to find ways of manipulating atoms while revealing as little as possible about them to the outside world. One approach is to place atoms between two mirrors (an optical resonator) and let photons shuttle information back and forth between them - allowing the atoms to "talk" to one another discretely without being "overheard." It may sound like mere gossip, but this chit-chat will form the foundation of a versatile new platform for engineering many-particle entangled states.
Current research projects include:
Fragile States for Quantum Sensing: Entangled states can be extraordinarily fragile, which makes them very challenging to prepare and preserve. However, if researchers are able to harness the power of that fragility, it can become a resource enabling quantum mechanical sensors with incredible precision. Dr. Schleier-Smith works to engineer states that are very sensitive to perturbation and understand how that sensitivity can be exploited to reach fundamental quantum mechanical limits to measurement precision.
Robust States for Information Storage: To realize visions of quantum computation, it will be necessary to prepare quantum states that are exceptionally robust, capable of storing information in a manner that is not disturbed by the outside world. Dr. Schleier-Smith is developing ways of encoding information redundantly by distributing it across many atoms; or embedding information in non-local, topological features--much like the twist of the celebrated Mobius strip--that cannot be removed by any local perturbation or distortion.
Monika Schleier-Smith was born and raised in Fairfax County, Virginia, where her high-school chemistry courses kindled a fascination with quantum mechanics. She attended Harvard University to study Chemistry and Physics, with a secondary concentration in Mathematics, and received her A.B. in 2005. She joined the group of Vladan Vuletic at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for Ph.D. research in physics, supported by fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. Upon receiving her Ph.D. in 2011, she assumed a postdoctoral fellowship in the group of Immanuel Bloch at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. Since 2013, she has been an Assistant Professor at Stanford University. Her honors and awards include MIT's Martin Deutsch Award for Excellence in Experimental Physics, a Hertz Foundation Thesis Prize, and an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship.
Dr. Schleier-Smith was drawn towards physics because of her fascination with quantum mechanics that originated from studying chemistry in high school and college. Ever since learning of the strange and counterintuitive laws of quantum physics, Dr. Schleier-Smith yearned to find opportunities for observing them in action at a microscopic level. She was thus drawn to pursue experiments with ultra-cold atoms, which when isolated in vacuum and subject to highly controlled manipulation with laser light, enable direct observation of quantum effects unexplainable by classical, Newtonian physics.
