2015 is being celebrated as the International Year of Light. As part of that celebration, the international society for optics and photonics (SPIE) is sponsoring a photo contest "to raise awareness about the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies and the vital role that light and light-based technologies play in daily life." There is an online exhibition of light-themed photography (note: it seems to present the photos in a random order, so don't comment that you like "the third one", for instance). You can also vote for your favorite, and if you are inclined to give them your email address, you'll be entered to win a GoPro camera (contest runs through 15 August).

a psychiatrist once asserted that I was autistic. He was completely convinced of it, I could not convince him otherwise.
A simple counter-argument is that I was a telephone hotline volunteer for the Suicide Prevention Service of Santa Cruz County, in California. That's not something an autistic person could do.
Not just anyone can be a crisis counselor; before I was permitted to take the training course I had to convince three women that I was empathetic enough.
