The Adjusted CRAYON BOX SURVEY
General | Posted 12 years ago theearthdogpresents The CRAYON
BOX SURVEY

• Do you love someone?
More than one—a higher number than I find agreeable.
• Do you believe in love at first sight?
I believe more in cruelty at first sight.
RED IS ANGER

Reasonably. I'm not so considerate. It's a damned unattractive truth.

Recently, but in select and justified instances.

My goal for 2013 is to be the most stunning female AND to be the fiercest animal; to be fit to survive in a monster's world.

Debatable. I like the idea of exposing my young to all the beautiful and terrible things. But I am absolutely horrified of child abuse. And I fear that I will unavoidably traumatize my young.

I want to die before I can no longer recall my experiences or loved ones. And I WILL die before anyone even dares to consider putting me in a home.

General | Posted 12 years agoI'm always exploring new ways to expose my human body to animal advantages. And I wondered if it was possible to improve the human night vision? But unfortunately, humans have poor night vision compared to many animals, in part because the human eye lacks a tapetum lucidum. Plus human vision is confined to a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called visible light. But here are some fun techniques that experts say can help make temporary improvements to the human night vision!
HOW TO SEE IN THE DARK

STEPS—
• Consume more Vitamin A. Because vitamin A helps protect the surface of the eye (cornea), it is essential for good vision. One of the first signs of Vitamin A deficiency is night blindness. In Ancient Egypt, it was discovered that night blindess could be cured by eating liver, which was later found to be a rich source of Vitamin A. A lack of Vitamin A also causes the cornea to become very dry, leading to the clouding of the front of the eye, corneal ulcers and vision loss. Vitamin A deficiency also causes damage to the retina, which also contributes to blindess.
• Practice using your peripheral vision. The human eye has 'rod' cells and 'cone' cells on the retina, which is the sensory layer at the back of the eye. Rod cells and cone cells are distributed evenly throughout the retina except for the fovea, which is a small area on the back of the eye opposite the pupil. At the fovea, there are only cone cells. This is an important thing to know because the cone cells are more proficient at color detection, whereas rod cells are better for low light and detecting movement. Therefore, when trying to see in low light, try not to look directly at the places you are trying to see. By using your peripheral vision you are using more rod cells, which work much better in low light. This takes a great deal of practice for most people.
• Wear dark sunglasses during the day. Just 2 to 3 hours of exposure to bright light can reduce your ability to adjust to darkness by 10 minutes, and 10 consecutive days of unfiltered sunlight exposure can cause a 50% loss in night vision. However, don’t wear glasses that are too dark, as depriving your eyes of sufficient light will also weaken them; for best results, wear glasses that transmit 15% of visible light. Be sure that they have a neutral, gray tint; to adapt both your cones and your rods to darkened conditions, you must reduce light in the entire visible spectrum, not just portions of it.
• Stay in perfect darkness for 20 to 30 minutes. Before going into a dark area, wear a sleep mask or (at least close and cover your eyes) to give your eyes a chance to adjust. 20 to 30 minutes is usually enough to adjust.
• Wear red-tinted glasses or goggles for 20 to 30 minutes. Red-tinted lenses block everything in the visible spectrum except red, and since the rods in your eyes aren’t sensitive to red, the glasses will allow your rods to adjust to “darkness” of a sort before you head out. This is what aviators do when they don’t have time to sit in perfect darkness before night-flying.
• Close your eyes tightly and apply slight pressure with your palms to both eyes. After about 5 or 10 seconds, instead of seeing black, your vision will turn white behind your eyes for a few seconds. This is like a resetting of your eyes. When the white goes away and the black comes back, open your eyes, and your vision will be significantly better in the dark, until you see light that is.
• Practice using your night vision in safe areas. This can be as simple as shutting out the lights in a room and closing all portals. When moving around in the dark, it is safer to move slowly and slide your feet, using your toes to sense obstacles in front of you. You're most stable when you have both feet on the ground, and are less likely to trip and sprain, or even worse, break something. Also, if you put your arms out to feel where you're going, cross them at your wrists and form a circle with your elbows out to the sides, thus helping you to keep your balance while avoiding walking into a post, tree trunk or edge of an open door.
• Look for contrast. While the rods in your eyes are far more light-sensitive than the cones, they can only discriminate between black and white and provide low-quality images (which is why the different colors in a flower bed become almost indistinguishable at dusk). In tall grass, for example, look for horizontal lines that stand out against the vertical grass.
• Avoid looking directly at light sources while navigating in the dark. Light sources diminish night vision – plus it takes longer to adjust back for the dark than it does for your eyes to adjust for the light you just looked at. If you can’t avoid looking at a light source, cover or close one eye until it passes. If, for example, you’re driving at night and someone comes around the bend with their high-beams on, protecting one eye will prevent you from getting “flash blindness” in both eyes, allowing you to more easily adjust back to the darkness.
• If you do need to use a light, place a red lens over the light source. This will allow the cones of your eyes to see whatever is being illuminated without affecting the rods. Stargazing programs, for example, often have an option to make their display screens red because red does not affect your rod cells, allowing you to still see in the dark well.
