We think of creation as an act of “construction” that is putting pieces to to form a whole. We see Mozart writing Don Giovanni as putting notes in order like workmen building a bridge. Yet, creation can also be viewed as “deconstruction”. When Michelangelo carved his David he removed marble until…

Daughter of Amenophis IV or Akhenaten (1351-1334), Egyptian, limestone/ red paint.

This female head has an elongated skull, and is probably a child of Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten (1351-1334 BCE). The eye is hollow for inlaying. The piece is broken across the neck, and is a forgery executed in the 18th Dynasty, Amarna Period style.

Don’t forget Superman, John. He was an immigrant too. All Americans have a connection to immigration, share your story with us.

The U.S.’s current immigration system is byzantine, cruel, and benefits neither American citizens nor anyone else. We need comprehensive immigration reform to bring highly skilled workers into the United States to help our economy grow and to bring security and stability to the lives of immigrants living in the United States today. Nikola Tesla was an immigrant. So were Joseph Pulitzer and Albert Einstein and Igor Stravinsky. Rational, compassionate immigration reform is needed so that the next Teslas and Einsteins are not denied access to educational or entrepreneurial opportunities in the United States. The time has come. - John Green

The Harry Potter Alliance just started this really rad project called Superman is an Immigrant and this is John’s submission! The idea is to share your immigration story by writing it on a paper and taking a picture with it. Check out their tumblr to see more and submit your own!

Google launches balloons in goal to provide Internet world-wide

AP: Inflatable balloons believed to be capable of sharing Internet around the world were launched this week in New Zealand as part of Google’s Project Loon.

The project, which began 18 months ago, is an attempt to share Internet with countries that lack fiber cables. The balloons are powered by solar panels are moved via prevailing winds. Each balloon is reportedly capable of providing Internet to an area twice the size of New York City.

A farmer in New Zealand was the first person to receive Internet access this week as the balloons passed overhead.
