Laser safety starts with knowledge. Without it, blindness can happen in the blink of an eye. Lasers span distances at the speed of light, which, according to physics, is the fastest speed possible. There will be no warning before a laser beam does its damage. One instant, you are fine, and the next, you aren't. Besides their near instantaneous speed, laser light is collimated. That is, their rays of light are nearly parallel. This means the energy intensity of a beam diminishes little with distance

is expected or requested of me at that time. As a result of a multitude of educators, teachers, instructors, and just as many topics of education, I have morphed and molded my learning styles (which includes all types of styles, aural, read/write, visual and kinesthetic) to adapt to the particular type of learning that the present topic requires. While my natural learning style seems to fall in the read/write/aural category, out of habit, pattern, repeated experiences, I am able to use all types

silhouettes are drawn by the artist first then they are cutout using an X-acto knife (Riley). It is through this method that the work has clear sharp edges creating the lines. These two dimensional shapes can only be imagined as life like. They carry no visual texture or color to give the illusion of having mass to exist in the third dimension. This simplistic form of shape shows only an outline of an image and therefore nothing exudes from the work. These black silhouettes typically sit motionless
