Five words I never expected to relate to. (via lawngirl)
This phrase was provided meaning and truth the first time I heard Melissa (lawngirl aka pregnantlawngirl) speak; and were realized when I kissed her face for the first time.
Happy Xmas, love.

An event at The Woodlands in Philadelphia featuring a taste of “All Hallows Read” which (Neil Gaiman explains here) encourages everyone to share a scary book with someone, swap a similar scary book from them, and pay it forward for literacy, reading, and education.
This is how(l) you Halloween.
Understanding Dyslexia (And Your Students Who Have It)
Everyone has heard of dyslexia, but do we truly understand what it means?

Over half a million of our Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTS). It stopped me in my tracks when one of my patients said, “it can happen once in your life, but one hundred times in your mind.” The echoes linger on… This is a very serious dilemma not only for our nations veterans, but for countless individuals that have experienced any variety of serious trauma in their lives.
Traumatic stress is a type of stress that exists on an entirely different level than that of the stress we encounter on a daily basis. Our bodies do not know how to process the impact that these scarring events have had on us, and in return the impression left on the brain is one that needs healing and recovery to restore its natural state of holistic functioning.

Two Solar Flares
The sun emitted a significant solar flare on June 10, 2014. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory - which typically observes the entire sun 24 hours a day — captured images of the flare.
This flare is classified as an X2.2 flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, etc.
About one hour later, the sun released a second X-class flare. This is classified as an X1.5 flare.

A stream of plasma burst out from the Sun, but since it lacked enough force to break away, most of it fell back into the Sun (May 27, 2014).
The GIF/movie combines two wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, and covers a little over two hours. Minor eruptions like this one occur almost daily, representing the dynamic activity driven by powerful magnetic forces near the Sun’s surface.

How Big Is The Brain? Here’s Some Perspective.
Chris Whittaker and Laura White of Ashfield Healthcare Communications, and Craig Armstrong of CreativeFusion used a metaphor approach that put them in first place. They scaled the human brain all the way up to the scale of the world and described the size the structures of the brain would be at that size. This brings the tiniest brain structures into a scale we can all relate to. This approach combined with a crisp, clean style, does a great job of clearly explaining the scale of the human brain.
