All In Your Head
It’s really horrible. I’ve been having a lot more trouble with my OCD lately—it’s getting to the point where it’s incredibly hard to function. Even right now I’m in a wrestling match with my mind. It’s all at once the most annoying and one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever experienced.

“Until recently, if Caillebotte was remembered at all, it was because he’d amassed a large collection of major Impressionist paintings which he bequeathed to the State. Independently wealthy, he often bought the works of (and hence supported) his Impressionist friends. Happily, if belatedly, we’ve begun to appreciate him as an artist who did some of our favorite Parisian street scenes from the era, and as practically the only French Impressionist who attempted to paint snowy winter scenes.” - Art History
The Battle Between the Gods and the Giants (Titans) - relief sculpture
fragments of the northern frieze on the Treasury of the Siphinians at the Sanctuary of Apollo, Delphi
530-525 BCE. Height of 66 cm, made of marble.
Notable for it’s complex use of space, with the artists using overlapping figures, and varying degrees of relief. Originally this form of sculpture was brightly painted giving it a lifelike effect (It is a common western misconception that all Greek sculpture was pure and white in colour, when it was at one point brightly painted)

A computer science professor at Amherst College who recently devised and conducted experiments to test the speed of a quantum computing system against conventional computing methods will soon be presenting a paper with her verdict: quantum computing is, “in some cases, really, really fast.”
“Ours is the first paper to my knowledge that compares the quantum approach to conventional methods using the same set of problems,” says Catherine McGeoch, the Beitzel Professor in Technology and Society (Computer Science) at Amherst. “I’m not claiming that this is the last word, but it’s a first word, a start in trying to sort out what it can do and can’t do.”
