Participatory Culture, Community, and Play : Learning from Reddit
What does online community look like in the age of social networking?How do participatory culture platforms reflect both their designers’ intentions and the desires of their users?In this incisive and timely work, Adrienne L. Massanari discusses how culture is created and challenged on Reddit.com, the self-proclaimed «front page of the internet».Reddit enables the sharing of original and reposted content from around the web, and provides a platform for like-minded individuals to commune around topics of interest – everything from the joys of drinking beer in a shower (/r/showerbeer) to celebrating the pleasures of tidy penmanship (/r/penmanshipporn).Massanari’s ethnographic work provides a detailed examination of the contradictions that shape Reddit’s culture and how they reflect its role as an epicenter of geek culture.The book explores the ways in which community on Reddit is formed and solidified through play and humor, and the complex ways in which Redditors come together, which demonstrate a deep capacity for altruism and charitable giving, but can easily lapse into mob action.It also explores the community’s troubling gender and racial politics and how some Redditors are carving out their own space on the site to fight back.

Creating Gaia Culture : Vision and Workbook
Humanity stands at the threshold of a new phase of Earth's planetary evolution.Breathtaking possibilities - in tune with the evolutionary path of the universe - are now available.Yet the question arises: Does humanity have the ideas, foresight and potential for action that could create a culture that corresponds to the planet's transformation?In the midst of distressing ecological crises, Marko Pogacnik offers fresh hope.Having worked intensively in the fields of holistic ecology (geomancy) and Earth-healing for four decades, he now formulates a vision of a culture based on co-creation with Gaia (the Earth), her elemental worlds and beings from parallel evolutions.Creating Gaia Culture is also a workbook, featuring dozens of drawings and meditative exercises to help transcend mental obstacles by cultivating the quality of living imagination.Pogacnik - UNO Goodwill Ambassador and UNESCO Artist for Peace - presents numerous ways to collaborate with the process of creating Gaia culture.He allows us to look into the primeval source of the future by interpreting the ancient book of the biblical Apocalypse - a text that holds the secret of Earth changes in a coded vision of a new human civilization - and uses his experiences, visions, dream stories and communications with beings from parallel worlds to trigger pictures that can enable a new human culture become a tactile reality.

Can vision improve?
Yes, vision can improve in some cases. For example, wearing prescription glasses or contact lenses can help correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Additionally, certain eye exercises and vision therapy techniques may help improve focus, eye coordination, and overall visual function. It is important to consult with an eye care professional to determine the best course of action for improving vision.
-
What impairs vision?
Vision can be impaired by a variety of factors, including eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can also impair vision. Additionally, injuries to the eye or head, as well as certain medications and medical conditions such as diabetes, can contribute to impaired vision. Finally, aging can also lead to changes in vision, such as presbyopia.

What are the symptoms of double vision and blurry vision?
Double vision, also known as diplopia, is a condition where a person sees two images of a single object. This can be caused by misalignment of the eyes, nerve damage, or certain medical conditions. Blurry vision, on the other hand, is a loss of sharpness in vision, making objects appear out of focus or hazy. Both double vision and blurry vision can be symptoms of underlying health issues such as diabetes, cataracts, or neurological disorders. It is important to seek medical attention if experiencing these symptoms to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Can Dolby Vision be used on a TV without Dolby Vision?
No, Dolby Vision cannot be used on a TV that does not support Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is a high dynamic range (HDR) format that requires both content and display devices to be compatible with it in order to experience its benefits. If a TV does not support Dolby Vision, it will not be able to display content in Dolby Vision format, and the user will not be able to take advantage of its enhanced color, contrast, and brightness capabilities.

Practical Vision Science : Learning Through Experimentation
This workbook provides a collection of experiments and observations that use physical materials (rather than digital displays or resources) to reveal fundamental properties of the human visual system. Practical Vision Science centers discovery, observation, and critical thinking.By observing and manipulating visual phenomena, readers gain insights regarding visual processing from the outside world into high-level areas of the visual cortex.The text covers geometric optics, image formation, early stages of visual processing, and inferences regarding brightness, color, depth, motion, and form.The goal is to highlight the critical role that observation of one’s own sensory experiences plays in vision science, while introducing phenomena that provide clues about the computations and constraints that shape our experience of the visual world.Each exercise can be completed with everyday materials, and the text includes discussion of key phenomena readers should be able to observe and the implications of these effects for underlying mechanisms that support visual experience in each case. Practical Vision Science is an essential text for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students of Sensation and Perception, providing the opportunity to learn by doing things rather than reading facts about the visual system on the page.

What are vision disorders?
Vision disorders are conditions that affect the eyes and the ability to see clearly. These disorders can range from common issues like nearsightedness and farsightedness to more serious conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Vision disorders can cause symptoms such as blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, eye pain, and even vision loss if left untreated. It is important to have regular eye exams to detect and manage vision disorders early on.

What is spatial vision?
Spatial vision refers to the ability of the visual system to perceive and interpret the spatial relationships between objects in the environment. It allows us to understand the size, shape, distance, and location of objects in our surroundings. Spatial vision is essential for tasks such as navigating through space, interacting with objects, and judging depth and perspective. It is a complex process that involves the integration of visual information from both eyes to create a coherent representation of the three-dimensional world.
