Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, has analysed six common sleeping positions - and found that each sleep position is linked to a particular personality type.
Thinker: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.
Log (15%): Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.
The yearner (13%): People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.
Soldier (8%): Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don’t like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.
Freefall (7%): Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don’t like criticism, or extreme situation
Stargazer (5%): Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don’t like to be the centre of attention. (img)
What is your type? I’m a stargazer… pretty accurate
I am a ‘thinker’. That is one of the positions that he studied, right? But there is no percent and also it says he studied six only…
Merry Christmas! Here’s some glowing bacteria for you (via: CURB)
Callie and her family from the novel Middlesex once lived in Detroit and Grosse Point.Feral House #13 and Feral House #7 by James Griffioen
“As the city of Detroit disappears, nature is flourishing. I am interested in the duplicity of plant life in Detroit as both blindly innocent and somehow deeply sinister. The two feral houses selected here stood within three blocks of the border between Detroit and the old-money suburbs of Grosse Pointe: more than a municipal border, it is one of race, class and social order. In Grosse Pointe, meticulously groomed and maintained ivy walls of homes and institutions are a symbol of social elitism. In Detroit, ivy also flourishes as a symbol of the indomitable spirit of nature.”—Artist James Griffioen
The Trees Need To Be Cut Down and Butterfly Chair by Karen Barbour
“The subject matter I deal with is mostly walled gardens with enclosing hedges, boxwood hedges and bushes clipped into shapes, while the wilderness looms beyond. These natural and unnatural shapes, which people struggle to make and maintain, signify their attempt to control nature: They build fences and walls of trees to keep the world out. The titles are from overheard conversations and the labeling of objects.”—Artist Karen Barbour

“I have taught my students not to apply rules or mechanical ways of seeing,” said legendary artist and educator Josef Albers. What do you see in the seemingly blank landscape presented here by Justin James King?

Similar drawing from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery“In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night … You—only you—will have stars that can laugh!”
Lily Evans and Remus are indeed very similar. I feel she affected him greatly to be the timeless character he is today. I love them both.

Remus will always be my favourite HP character.If I was a witch I’d want him as my father. He seems so caring and loyal. He never got to have a child… before it was too late.
But he had Teddy, just a few months before the battle. And “Dora” too. I don’t think that was too late. Short, yes - but sweet.
