---My Introduction---
- Hi, I'm Daniel5127. Occasionally, I consider myself as Mathematician because I like to study the Mathematics such as Calculus. I first discovered the Wikipedia in June 2005. As a Wikipedian, I'm a 20 year old boy (teenager) as College student, and live in Los Angeles, California, America. I will help you with anything if you don't know how to use Wikipedia, you don't understand the way of using in Wikipedia, or have any problems with editing. I've been a Wikipedian since March 3, 2006. So, I'm glad to see you. Ahh, my hobby is to study Science, because I want to be scientist in the future. I'm quite proud of being chinese Wikipedian. I'm also interested in Astrology, something that tells about fortune of the day. The astrology book is called The New Astrology. This book is dedicated to everyone.
The thousand-yard stare (also referred to as the two-thousand-yard stare) is the blank, unfocused gaze of people experiencing dissociation due to acute stress or traumatic events. The phrase was originally used to describe war combatants and the post-traumatic stress they exhibited but is now also used to refer to an unfocused gaze observed in people under any stressful situation, or in people with certain mental health conditions. The thousand-yard stare is sometimes described as an effect of shell shock or combat stress reaction, along with other mental health conditions. However, it is not a formal medical term. This painting by the war artistThomas C. Lea III, titled Marines Call It That 2,000 Yard Stare, popularized the term after it was published in Life in 1945. It depicts an unnamed US Marine at the Battle of Peleliu, which took place in 1944.Painting credit: Thomas C. Lea III
Awarded to Daniel for never letting others make you angry or sad (even the grumpy vandals!), for alwaysassuming good faith in every situation (whether you know that or not!), for always asking questions when you don't understand and learning from others answers... and, for just being a kind-hearted great-natured wikipedian! Congrats! - Glen 16:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
