ABSTRACT
Under ordinary circumstances, healthy sleep is by far the most powerful determination of high-level performance and productivity. Three major characteristics must be present to define healthy sleep. They are (1) a sufficient amount and continuity to avoid sleep indebtedness, (2) absence or near absence of pathological sleep-related events and (3) reasonable synchronizing of desired time in bed with circadian predisposition. The nature of each of these three characteristics will be elaborated as well as their relation to performance.
Speaker: Dr. William Dement
William C. Dement, M.D., Ph.D., is the world's leading authority on sleep, sleep disorders, and the dangers of sleep deprivation. He is Chief of the newly created Division of Sleep at Stanford University School of Medicine, which is also the home of the world's first sleep disorders center founded by Dr. Dement.
Born and raised in the state of Washington, Dr. Dement remained in his home state for his undergraduate years at the University of Washington. He then pursued his graduate studies at the University of Chicago, receiving his M.D. in 1955 and Ph.D. in Neurophysiology in 1957. For more than half a century, Dr. Dement has conducted basic sleep research, investigated sleep disorders and treatments, and has launched a myriad of public education programs. From 1953 to 1957, he conducted the first studies leading to the characterization of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the basic REM/NREM sleep cycle, and all night sleep patterns.
In 1975, Dr. Dement founded the American Academy of Sleep Medicine serving as its President for twelve years. Dr. Dement was also a founder of the American Board of Sleep Medicine. From 1990-1993, he served as Chairman of the U.S. Congress's National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research. In 2001, he received the largest National Institute of Health research grant in sleep medicine history to establish the effectiveness and benefits of continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) treatment for large populations of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
As the author or co-author of over 500 scientific publications, Dr. Dement's research, findings, and advice can be found amongst several texts including his own, The Sleepwatchers, and most recently, The Promise of Sleep. He is also co-editor of the definitive textbook, Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, now in it's 4th edition.
Dr. Dement's strong desire to educate students about sleep and the dangers of sleep deprivation led to the creation of his very popular course, "Sleep & Dreams," at Stanford University, which he has been presenting regularly for over 35 years. He will continue his efforts to educate the public and increase sleep awareness as long as he lives. |

Well I been meaning to control my caloric intake
so I'm startin off with a fruit and yogurt parfait.
I got my friend here in the the passenger seat--
I wanna lettuce sandwich and make my bun wheat.
Is that all you want? Nah, I'll take a snack wrap.
But fill it with tofu. Do ya'll have that?
Gimme a grilled chicken sandwich; I been meaning to try it.
And Biggie size my soda but you better make it diet.
And hold up 'cause this rhyme and through yet.
Give us some balsamic vin-egret.
I got cash--I got debit.
Can we do these orders separate?
You still owe me five bucks.
You're never gonna get it. |

About
Eat your greens, or else...
I turn into a bogey man and gonna stuff that large vegtable up y* ! Lol !
The shot
I tried to look angry while my wife took some pictures of me holding this rather large version of a courgette,
really had to suppress a bit of laugther there, it shows, doesn't it? Hahaha.
It worked quite well in the end, only had to take 4 or 5 shots to come up with something I could use.
Photoshop
Nothing, hahaha, no seriously I really had to beautify myself if I ever had my portrait on flickr !-)
° Most work was done with the liquify filter, you really should try that out some day, or else...
° A hue/saturation/lightness with the colorize option checked, chose a greenish colour with the hue slider, inverted the mask and the painted the green back in on the right side, used the opacity slider the make it more subtle.
° Did some dodging and burning to make the horns on my head capture the light as well.

All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are ( as always ) welcome.
