Computer Eye Strain: How to Relieve It
With the
correct eye care program that includes eye exercises, and proper diet and
supplementation, you can significantly effect and even improve your vision.
Computers
& Vision
More than 50
percent of computer users experience eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision and
other visual symptoms related to sustained use of the computer. This type of
stress on the visual system can also cause body fatigue and reduced efficiency
at work. In addition, there are now indications that heavy computer users are at
risk for glaucoma.
Many of these
symptoms can be reduced through a combination of correcting workstation
conditions, posture, stress-relieving lenses prescribed specifically for
computer operation, special anti-glare screens, eye exercises and nutritional
supplementation.
We were born to
have hunters' eyes, needed for spotting game or danger at a distance. But
during the last 50 years nearly all our work and much of our recreation, for
example, video games, has shifted the focus of our vision to arm's length. This
increased amount of near visual tasks often produces such changes as
nearsightedness, suppressed vision in one eye, poor eye teaming and reduced
efficiency at work and at play.
Many computer
users experience visual stress due to: 1) an increase in the number and
complexity of necessary eye movements and focusing skills, 2) poor lighting
conditions, glare and distracting reflections, 3) screen flicker rate, and 4)
above all, the extended amount of computer use.

Why You Can't Truly Know Other People
It's no secret that we present different versions of ourselves to different people, but we also think we can see through everyone else's versioning system. Somehow we believe ours is impenetrable yet the rest of the world can be read like a book. As David McRaney, author of You Are Not So Smart, points out, carrying on this way is delusional, yet we all do it. Here's why.
The versions of yourself that you present and other present to you are simple and easy to understand. It isn't difficult to for someone to believe that they know you when who you are is a presented set of simplified traits. It's also why people seem easy to read. In reality, who you truly believe you are and who others believe themselves to be is generally internalized and imperceptible to others:

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Book Five
Chapter 1: Minas Tirith
After a long and swift ride Gandalf and Pippin arrive to the great city of Minas Tirith in the early hours of the morning and have an audience with Denethor, the Lord and Steward of Gondor, the father of Boromir and Faramir. Denethor is a man of great power and lineage, who can guess much that is hidden behind one's words. Pippin tells about their journey, and about Boromir, and swears an oath of fealty to Gondor. After the audience Gandalf goes about his business, and Pippin goes out to explore the City. He meets Beregond, a soldier of the city guard, who has been sent to keep him company for a while. They talk about Gondor and its customs, and about Pippin's journey and the distant lands he had seen, and the war that is drawing near and in which Gondor seems to have no hope. Later, when Beregond has to attend to his duties, Pippin looks up his son, Bergil, and together they go to the city gates to watch the armies of Gondor coming to strengthen the defence of the City. In the evening Pippin returns to his lodgings, and in the night Gandalf returns as well, seeming worried and concerned.
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Book Three
Chapter 1: The Departure of Boromir
Aragorn follows Frodo's trail to the summit of Amon Hen; there he hears the sound of Boromir's horn amid the cries of many Orcs, and he runs down to help Boromir. He comes too late, however: Boromir is already dying, and in his last words he tells Aragorn about his attack on Frodo and about the attack of the Orcs, which have taken the Hobbits as prisoners. Gimli and Legolas return soon afterwards, and together they carry Boromir's body into a boat and let it float down the River. They also notice that a boat and Sam's baggage are missing, and conclude that Frodo and Sam must have crossed the River and headed towards Mordor while everybody else was looking for Frodo. Thus it seems unlikely that the remaining three companions could still find them, and Aragorn decides that they will pursuit the Orcs and attempt to rescue Merry and Pippin. They start the chase at once and with greatest speed, for the Orcs have already gained an advantage of several hours.
