This Stardust styled shoot is nothing short of magical! The details capture the enchantment of the book perfectly but my favorite part by far is the wonderful camera trick that turned the bride into a luminous star herself!

“Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, from Cleveland, Ohio, was one of the first women, and very likely the first woman, to receive a Ph.D. degree in computer science in the United States. Keller entered the Sisters of Charity, a Catholic religious order, in 1932 and professed her vows in 1940. Later, she studied at DePaul University, where she received a B.S. degree in mathematics and an M.S. degree in mathematics and physics. In 1965, she received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Wisconsin. Her dissertation work involved constructing algorithms that performed analytic differentiation on algebraic expression, written in CDC FORTRAN 63.
“As a graduate student, Keller also studied at Dartmouth, Purdue, and the University of Michigan. At Dartmouth, the university broke the “men only” rule and allowed her to work in the computer center, where she participated in the development of BASIC.
“After receiving her Ph.D. degree, Keller accepted an offer of a faculty position at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. Keller founded the Computer Science Department there and chaired it for 20 years. She also established a master’s degree program for computer applications in education.
“Keller felt that women should be involved in computer science and especially in the field of information specialist. In her words, ‘We’re having an information explosion, among others, and it’s certainly obvious that information is of no use unless it’s available.’ Keller’s vision extended eyond education and reached toward artificial intelligence. ‘For the first time, we can now mechanically simulate the cognitive process. We can make studies in artificial intelligence. Beyond that, this mechanism [the computer] can be used to assist humans in learning. As we are going to have more mature students in greater numbers as time goes on, this type of teaching will probably be increasingly important.’ Sister Mary Keller died at the age of 71 but has left a legacy of computers and education at Clarke College.”

pbfluffernutter:

I recently went on a missions trip to Lourdes france, and while I was there I met a family of 10 children, and their parents. Their ages were 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 5months. Two of the Children, Thomas and Sheila, have Leigh’s disease. This disease is a rare inherited neurometabolic disorder that affects the central nervous system. Most children with Leigh’s don’t live past the age of seven, while some have lived to their mid-teens. It is incurable. Little Sheila just passed away on May 11th. Thomas is still fighting. 

Please, Please, Please pray! They are such a wonderful family. Please help them.

signal boost.  St. Raphael, pray for these little ones!
