Silver Eyes Online Free

[Verline]

IanKline's photographs feel like film stills: images of a manufactured world teeming with color, confusion and a touch of the absurd. A red haired, older woman strikes a dramatic pose in a backyard, shielding her eyes from the sun while tattered tarps billow around her like shabby ghosts. A quartet of teenagers, shot from above in black and white, make their way down a dirt road, while their shadows stretch out in from of them, epic in scale, larger than life. A pair of hands, fingers and wrists bedecked in gold rings and carved bangles, lift a tangle of soft, felt packing blankets to reveal the profile of a wooden sculpture, dusty with age.

This body of work, while ongoing, places Kline in the midst of an uncanny reckoning. Feeling the past appear in new moments right before his eyes, Kline refuses to act as a silent bystander. Capturing moments infused with time's strange ability to reflect the past and present simultaneously, the click of Kline's shutter hits pause on this endless cycle, even if only for a second.

Honorably Mentioned is a series of online exhibitions highlighting work from artists chosen as Honorable Mentions for Silver Eye's Fellowship competition. Each year, Silver Eye receives hundreds of talented, innovative submissions of work, but can inevitably only choose two artists for our International and Keystone Awards. This series seeks to feature the six artists selected as Honorable Mentions by our jurors for their outstanding bodies of work. Ian Kline was selected as an Honorable Mention for the Keystone Prize, by juror Jessica Beck, Milton Fine Curator of Art at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA.

The silvereye is a common small songbird immediately recognisable by its distinctive white eye-ring. It has olive-green plumage on the head, lower back and upper tail, and mid-grey on the hindneck, sides of neck and upper back. The upper wings are mostly dark olive green, with narrow lines of yellowish green, and the tail is dark olive green. The underparts are whitish-cream on the throat and upper breast, creamy grey on the belly and undertail, the flanks are pinkish-buff, the thighs are white, and the underside of the wings creamy-white. The dark brownish-black bill is fine, short and sharply pointed. The iris is dark reddish-brown, and the legs and feet pale brown. The sexes are alike. Juveniles have similar colouring to adults but have a narrower and duller white eye-ring.

Voice: a range of clear often high-pitched and melodious calls including warbles, and trills, often repeated, used in a wide variety of contexts. The main contact is a plaintive creee, and the flight call a shorter cli-cli, with many birds calling at once. Full song is a quiet, long liquid warble, similar to the song of the dunnock.

Silvereyes occur throughout New Zealand from sea level up to about 1,200 m altitude, in urban areas, farmlands, orchards and all indigenous and exotic forests and scrublands, including scrubby edges of wetlands. They are less common in open grassland areas of Otago. Silvereyes are resident on Stewart, Great Barrier, Kermadec, Chatham, Snares, Antipodes, Auckland and Campbell Islands. Although silvereyes are resident on or regularly visit all vegetated offshore islands, they are only irregularly or seasonally present on islands with high-densities of bellbirds and other passerines, including Three Kings, Poor Knights, Little Barrier and Kapiti Islands.

A gregarious species, silvereyes are well known for flocking especially in winter. They are a mobile species that forages actively for food in parklands, woodlands, suburban gardens, forests and scrublands. Aggressive interactions are common within flocks, with a dominant bird performing rapid wing fluttering and short aggressive chases of other birds. Some local seasonal movement and even migration within the country may occur; for example, a bird banded in Marlborough was recovered in Wellington.

Silvereyes are omnivorous and eat a range of small insects such as aphids, caterpillars and flies, also spiders, gleaned from shrubs and trees. They also feed on a range of small and large fruits including small berries and ripening fruit including grapes, cherries, apples, pears, figs, apricots and peaches. Silvereyes eagerly feed on nectar of native and exotic plants including kowhai, fuchsia, eucalypts and bottlebrushes. They visit bird feeders more than any other species in New Zealand voraciously feeding on fat and lard, especially in winter.

Both eyes have a silvery-white ring and dark reddish-brown iris, and the bill and legs are dark brown-black.

Born from blackened soil, Daughter Death was a quiet baby. She simply gazed upwards and watched the sky, the roots of the above-world trailing through the whorl of obsidian clouds. Her eyes were round and silver like the coins gifted for the dead, and her smile was a crescent-moon, a sliver peeking light into the darkness. When she looked upon her father and reached out with chubby little hands to grab the skeletal ridges of his face, Death was immediately besotted.

Between his travels, above and between, Death watched his daughter carefully, her expressions the shape of commas and question marks as she narrowed her glow-in-the-dark eyes and pointed to the sky and kept reaching.

On his next visit to the above-world, Death plucked more daisies from a field to bring home. But when he returned, the flowers were ash in his hands. Daughter Death still took the gift and sprinkled the remains around her own daisy, life and death, together.

Then came other luminescence where dark usually swallowed parts of the above-world whole. Daughter Death travelled the length and breadth of the land of death, so she could reach through the watery abysses of the above-sky, where oceans broke upon grey shores. Her hands grabbed jellyfish and algae, and odd-looking fish lurking in the darkest of depths, and lit them blue with phosphorescence.

Later, she journeyed far to the darkest corners of the below-world, pushed hands up through thick black peat to the above-fens and bogs. There, she set gases alight to dance amidst the fog and reeds, and come to be known as spirit lights, leading travellers to treasure, if they did not in their misfortune find Death.

Next, in spectral trees she wandered, with her cloak of daisies and her cocoon crown, where she reached past the tallest canopies, through gnarled sky-roots, breaking into the above-world woodlands. She found mushrooms, touched their mycelium hearts, and set them thrumming with a glow that dappled forest floors, atop rotted wood, between layers of lichen, beside carpets of moss, casting pinpricks of brightness under the cold night sky.

When was the last time you had your eyes tested? Regular eye exams can ensure healthy vision. Our eyes change as we get older, and this often goes unnoticed. The first sign that our vision is deteriorating is not always blurred or unfocused vision. Headache or eye strain can also indicate vision problems.

Better vision also means more quality of life, as sight is our most important sensory organ. 80% of the impressions we receive of our environment are obtained through our eyes. Having our eyes regularly tested by a qualified eye care professional should be a routine part of preventive health care; not only for yourself, but also for the safety of other people if you are driving. In general, provided we do not have any existing or known eye problems, we should have our eyes tested once every two years.

In Part 1 of our free online assessment we simulate the testing of your visual performance on the screen. This is not intended as a replacement for the tests conducted by your eye doctor. However, you will receive an initial impression of the quality of your vision.

Initially, you may think that this test is not really important. However, contrast vision is of major significance for comfortable vision. If we cannot distinguish differences in contrast, eye fatigue may be the result. We all know what it's like when the contrast isn't properly set on our computer screen, or if we try to read in poor light.

In Part 2 our online screening assessment we simulate contrast vision. The test may provide you with an initial indication that your contrast vision is not as good as it could be. Your eye doctor will be pleased to look into this in more detail.

What we all know as "color blindness" affects many more men than women. This is a genetic variation that affects as many as 180 million people worldwide. Various types of lenses are available for this condition.

Astigmatism is a type of refractive error of the human eye in which the focal point is not evenly distributed along the meridians. As with other refractive errors, astigmatism can change gradually with age. Symptoms with astigmatism can include eyestrain, headaches or trouble driving at night. Astigmatism can be corrected with properly fitted glasses or contacts.

The check provides a symbol which contains differently orientated groups of black lines. These lines are designed to appear in different shades of gray if your eyes have some astigmatism. Your task is to indicate whether you see the sharp/black differently, which is a first sign for astigmatism.

This Online Vision Screening Check is not a medical test and cannot take the place of eye care by a trained professional. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. This exam is only meant to give you a general idea of your eye power and whether a professional eye test is advisable.

Compared with conventional grain-fed beef, grass-fed beef has been shown to be lower in saturated fat and higher in vitamins A and E. It is even slightly higher in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids as well as other healthy fats.
