Our own so-called governments were looking to shaft us and use a dirty bomb to cause world war three and now we all f know it.

President George H.W. Bush - Points of Light - YouTube

In his 1989 inaugural address, President George H.W. Bush invokes his vision of a thousand points of light, encouraging community service.

Shafts of this nature have not been discovered in any other pyramids as of yet. Initially they were presumed to be ventilation shafts, but doubt has been cast on this theory due to the shafts not leading all the way to the outside. This same fact also casts doubt on the theory that the shafts were used to observe certain stars. In 2010, researchers from Leeds University developed a robot that traversed the shaft and used an endoscopic camera to look through the hole previously drilled through the stone blocking the path to the outside, which revealed a small chamber with red ochre markings on the floor and followed by another large stone blocking the path.

A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound, with minimal loss of energy by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction. Without the physical constraint of a waveguide, wave intensities decrease according to the inverse square law as they expand into three dimensional space.

An optical fiber, or optical fibre in Commonwealth English, is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light[a] between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss; in addition, fibers are immune to electromagnetic interference, a problem from which metal wires suffer. Fibers are also used for illumination and imaging, and are often wrapped in bundles so they may be used to carry light into, or images out of confined spaces, as in the case of a fiberscope. Specially designed fibers are also used for a variety of other applications, some of them being fiber optic sensors and fiber lasers.

Following Your Heart with Integrity Can Increase Your Influence with Others. Because Ruth followed her heart and went with Naomi to Bethlehem, her influence on others increased. Instead of looking down on her as a foreigner, the Hebrews noticed her and admired her.

Borrowed from Middle French admirer, from Latin admīror, from ad + mīror (“wonder at”).

Illustration of the concepts. a Schematic of the platform for the investigation of transverse spin-induced SOI effect. b The clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) WGMs present opposite transverse spins on each side of the resonator. c Illustration of the transverse-spin-dependent geometric phase acquired by the vector evanescent wave as the WGM travels around the resonator. For the CCW WGM shown here, a rotation angle of φ·z is experienced by the local coordinates from point (r′, φ′) to (r″, φ″), and the geometric phase imparted on the evanescent wave with a transverse-spin state σ is ΦG = −σφ

A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguides, such as optical fibers. It is a structure formed from multiple layers of alternating materials with varying refractive index, or by periodic variation of some characteristic (such as height) of a dielectric waveguide, resulting in periodic variation in the effective refractive index in the guide. Each layer boundary causes a partial reflection of an optical wave. For waves whose vacuum wavelength is close to four times the optical thickness of the layers, the many reflections combine with constructive interference, and the layers act as a high-quality reflector. The range of wavelengths that are reflected is called the photonic stopband. Within this range of wavelengths, light is "forbidden" to propagate in the structure.

A mirror or looking glass is an object that reflects an image. Light that bounces off a mirror will show an image of whatever is in front of it, when focused through the lens of the eye or a camera. Mirrors reverse the direction of the image in an equal yet opposite angle from which the light shines upon it.

In response The Mac to his Publication

lens (plural lenses or (obsolete) lens or (rare) lentes)

An object, usually made of glass, that focuses or defocuses the light that passes through it.

A device which focuses or defocuses electron beams.

(anatomy) The transparent crystalline structure in the eye.

2013 July-August, Fenella Saunders, “Tiny Lenses See the Big Picture”, in American Scientist:
The single-imaging optic of the mammalian eye offers some distinct visual advantages. Such lenses can take in photons from a wide range of angles, increasing light sensitivity. They also have high spatial resolution, resolving incoming images in minute detail.
