Practically everybody has noticed this oddity at one time or another. When the moon is low, near the horizon, it looks huge compared with how it looks a few hours later when it is higher overhead. The effect is especially noticeable when it is a big, beautiful, full disk—a full moon. But you can notice the effect at any phase. People have been wondering about this curiosity for at least two thousand years, since long before they even knew what the moon was or how it moves around Earth. (But you know, don't you? Any doubts?) Now would you believe that in today's so-called space age we can play hop-scotch on the moon, but we still don't know the answer to the puzzle about its apparent size? As you can imagine, people have come up with dozens of “explanations” over the years. But all save a few of them can easily be shown to be wrong.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
A definitive explanation of the Moon Illusion—and that's what it is, an optical illusion—continues to evade science. If it were a matter of physical science, I assure you we'd know what's going on by now, because physics is a highly advanced science. But apparently it's a matter of human perception, and our understanding of our own psychology isn't nearly as advanced as our understanding of the world around us. If there is one thing we are sure of, it's that as it orbits around Earth, the moon certainly does not yo-yo up and down in size like a fat lady on a fad diet. Earth's original satellite isn't one whit bigger when it's rising and setting near the horizon than it is when it's directly overhead. So it's got to be something about the way it appears to our human eyes and brains. But what? Before we shoot down some of the wrong theories and add our support to some of the more plausible ones, let's prove to ourselves that it is indeed an illusion—that when we think we're seeing bigger and smaller moons, we're really not.<br />
<b>Try this</b><br />
<br />
Check your daily newspaper for the date of the next full moon; it's right there with the weather map. Or call your local TV meteorologist. On that fated night, go out as soon as it's dark and sink your fangs into the creamy, white throat of a beautiful young … Oh, sorry. Wrong book. On that fated night, go out as soon as it's dark and locate the moon while it's still low, near the horizon. If you have to, go to the nearest hilltop.<br />
Now take out the ruler that I forgot to tell you to bring along, hold it at arm's length against the moon and measure its apparent size. It will span about a half-inch (12 millimeters). Write down its “size” to the nearest sixteenth of an inch (or millimeter). Now wait a few hours until the moon is high in the sky and measure its apparent size again. What did I tell you? It's exactly the same, isn't it?<br />
or …<br />
Take several pictures of the full moon when it's near the horizon and later, as it climbs higher in the sky. Use a telephoto lens to make a large image on the film. If you have a zoom lens, make sure you're shooting all pix at exactly the same focal length. Use several shutter speeds to get at least one good exposure at each position. You'll find that the moon is exactly the same size in all the pictures! So rulers and cameras aren't fooled, but we Homo sapiens are. Humbling, isn't it? Now to shoot down some of the theories that have been advanced.<br />
<br />
“When the moon is low, you're unconsciously comparing it with trees, buildings and mountains on the ground, and it looks big compared with them. But when it's all alone up in the sky there's nothing to compare it with, so you don't think it's so big.”<br />
Well, maybe. But even out on the prairie, where there's nothing at all on the horizon, it still looks bigger when it's low.<br />
“When the moon is low, you're seeing it through a lot more air than when it's directly above. All that air can act like a lens, refracting (bending) the light rays like a magnifying glass.”<br />
Sorry, Charlie, but any such refraction effect is small and can make the moon look slightly distorted in shape, but not in size. “When the moon is low you're looking straight ahead, but when it's high in the sky your head is tilted upward and your eyeballs are slightly squashed, and that makes … yada, yada, yada.”<br />
Nonsense.<br />
So what's the answer? Psychologists who study human perception have a couple of fairly convincing theories.<br />
<b>Theory number one</b>: All our experience since the day we opened our eyes (some psychologists think it's even inborn) has taught us that when an object is coming toward us it gets bigger. Think of an approaching airplane, or even a fly ball coming toward you in the outfield. But the “moon ball” seems to be breaking all the rules; as it moves overhead it isn't getting any closer and it isn't getting any bigger. So your brain<br />
interprets it as being unnaturally small, and that's the conclusion you draw. It's not that the horizon moon looks bigger, it's that the overhead moon looks smaller.<br />
I'd be more inclined to believe that theory if the moon rose in a matter of seconds. When I glance at it high in the sky, I'm really not comparing it with what it looked like several hours earlier.<br />
<b>Theory number two</b>: Look up at the sky. If you didn't know better, wouldn't you think it was a huge, overhead dome? Ancient astronomers, in fact, thought that it literally was a dome, into which the stars and planets were set like jewels. Even in this space age, we still seem to have a built-in impression of the sky as a dome. We can't grasp the idea of infinity, so we tacitly imagine that it has finite limits. Picture it consciously for a moment. Now what if I asked you how far away the sky-dome is? You're very likely to feel that the edge of the dome that touches the horizon is farther away than a point on the dome that's straight overhead. In other words, we think of the sky as a somewhat shallow dome; it just seems more comfortable that way. Why? Our experience has always told us that horizons are far away, but there is nothing in our experience, and no visual cues or clues, to tell us that the “top of the sky” is also far away. Thus, when the moon is near the horizon, we subconsciously believe that it is farther away than when it is overhead. But all of our visual<br />
experience tells us that farther-away things look smaller. So when the Man in the Moon thumbs his nose at our expectations by remaining his usual size even when he's “far away” on the horizon, our brain says, “Wow! That guy must be really big.” And that's the impression we get. My money rides on this last explanation.<br />

The sun emits light that travels through space toward Earth Because space is a vacuum (i e , it has no atmosphere), the light remains largely undisturbed until it nears the Earth, whose atmosphere is made up of a mixture of gas molecules (mainly oxygen and nitrogen) and other materials The closer you get to the Earth, the thicker the atmosphere<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Light from the sun appears white but is in fact a combination of colors, and the range of these colors that are<br />
visible to the human eye—from red to violet, by way of orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo—is shown when light is passed through a prism These different colors have different wavelengths and energies, with violet having the shortest wavelength and highest energy and red having the longest wavelength and lowest energy<br />
As light hits the Earth’s atmosphere, the different colors react in different ways Some of them get absorbed by the gas molecules while others do not Most of the longer-wavelength colors (such as red and orange) pass straight through the atmosphere and are unaffected, while many of the shorter-wavelength colors (such as violet and blue) get absorbed by the gas molecules, because the wavelengths (i e , the distance between the peaks of each wave) of these colors are similar in size to the diameter of an atom of oxygen The gas molecules then radiate these colors and scatter them across the sky, causing the sky to appear blue<br />
<br />

That’s one reason why the area around them is so prone to expression lines. But while we can love laugh lines, let’s be honest: we can do without dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark spots. To deal with them effectively, it’s important to understand eye skin care and give proper attention to this, one of the thinnest, most delicate skin on your body.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ul style="color: black;"><li><b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Shedding light on dark circles, lines, dark spots and puffy eyes</span>.</span></b></li>
</ul>Dark circles have a variety of causes. Many experts believe that blood retention caused by fatigue, lack of sleep or stress can create the look of dark circles. Other causes? Veins and capillaries can show through skin; irritation and dry skin can make the area look dull and tired. Finally, natural shadows from the brow bone can also make this area appear darker.<br />
When it comes to fine lines (crow’s feet), wrinkles, puffiness and dark spots, it’s wise to remember that this delicate area of the face can show signs of aging a lot sooner than other areas of skin on our face and body. So it’s important to limit sun damage, improper care and neglect.<br />
<ul><li><b>Bottom line: Give your eye area the right kind of care.</b></li>
</ul>To help prevent or to minimize the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and damage, make sure to use a special lightweight moisturizer (eye cream) under the eye area. Under-eye creams are specially formulated to deal with the special needs of this area. For example, they won’t migrate on the skin. That way, they won’t run into the eye and irritate it—which regular moisturizers can do.<br />
<ul><li><b>Further reflections on eye skin care.</b></li>
</ul>Look for under-eye creams that contain gentle and non-irritating ingredients along with a wide range of vitamins, antioxidants, and skin-plumping substances. Be careful to also manage salt intake, get enough sleep and try not to rub the area around the eyes. If you have allergies/sinusitis be sure to keep them under control as much as possible since that can also contribute to the puffiness in this area. The under-eye area is also one place where stress shows very quickly, so managing your stressors is helpful as well.<br />
Nighttime is an especially good time to treat this delicate area, as skin is more receptive then. Gently massage eye products into the skin around the eyes. And, as you treat and care for the skin around your eyes, remember to always protect your skin with an SPF product during the day.<br />

<br />
Cantalupo claimed Whitten failed to tell him that he was a poor candidate for the surgery because he suffered from thinner-than-normal corneas, which caused him to develop ectasia after the surgery.<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.allaboutvision.com/lasik-surgeons/tlc/tlc-tiger-277x207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://www.allaboutvision.com/lasik-surgeons/tlc/tlc-tiger-277x207.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Ectasia causes the remaining corneal tissue to bulge, making it difficult for Cantalupo to see.<br />
<br />
Whitten contended he was under no obligation to tell his patient about the risk and that Cantalupo was a good candidate for the procedure known as LASIK surgery, even though Whitten admitted Cantalupo's corneas were thinner than normal.<br />
<br />
After the verdict, Whitten appealed the decision to the state Superior Court, which upheld the lower court decision.<br />

<br />
Whitten said he has performed the procedure on dozens of male and female professional golfers on the PGA and LPGA tours.He performed the same surgery on Woods in October 1999.</span><br />

Rob Spence, Kosta Grammatis and a team of others are trying to make history by embedding a video camera and a transmitter in a prosthetic eye. That eye is going in Robs eye socket, and will record the world from a perspective that's never been seen before.</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Although the 1998 settlement agreement between big tobacco and state governments restricted advertising to children and teens, nearly half of teenage girls participating in the study could name their favorite cigarette ad. What's more, the study found that teenagers who could name a favorite cigarette ad were 50 percent more likely to have smoked during the five-year study period.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">One ad campaign in particular stood out in the minds of teen girls and increased their awareness of cigarette advertising, the study found. The product was Camel No. 9 cigarettes, and the ads featured a pink camel and a sub-brand of cigarettes called Stiletto. In addition to the very feminine ads placed in such magazines as Glamour and Vogue, the campaign also featured promotional giveaways, including flavored lip balm, purses and cell phone jewelry.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"These are the same people that brought us Joe Camel, a very big campaign with multiple different components," said study author John Pierce, a professor of family and preventive medicine and director of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego. "Now it seems like what they're doing is trying a campaign, and then when people complain, they change and do something else."</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">R.J. Reynolds, which makes Camel No. 9, said that the product and the advertisements were not designed to attract teenagers. "Camel No. 9 was developed in response to female adult smokers, both of Camel and competitive brands, who were asking for a product that better reflected their taste preferences and style," according to a prepared statement issued by the tobacco company.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"When Camel No. 9 was launched in 2007, all magazine advertisements for it appeared in publications whose readership was at least 85 percent age 18 or older," the statement continued. "More importantly, R.J. Reynolds has not run any print advertising for cigarettes, including Camel No. 9, for more than two years, and there has been no in-store advertising for Camel No. 9 since 2008."</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The study, published online March 15 in the journal Pediatrics, includes data from the fifth telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of teenagers that was designed to assess whether cigarette ads run after the tobacco settlement had any effect on adolescents.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The first survey was done in 2003 when the 1,036 children were 10 to 13 years old. The fifth survey was done in 2008.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The researchers found that, for boys, the proportion who had a favorite cigarette ad remained stable throughout the five surveys. For girls, however, there was a marked difference in the last study.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">During the first four surveys, the number of girls who could identify a favorite tobacco ad remained about the same. But, during the last survey, which was conducted after the start of the Camel No. 9 campaign, the proportion of girls who had a favorite ad jumped by 10 percentage points, to 44 percent. The Camel brand was responsible for most of that increase, according to the study.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">During the first four surveys, 10 percent to 13 percent of the girls said that Camel was their favorite ad. In the fifth survey, the number rose to 21.5 percent, the study reported.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"This article presents credible evidence that the Camel No. 9 cigarette advertising campaign has targeted underaged girls," the researchers wrote.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">New research found out that heavy makeup used by Cleopatra (queen of Egypt) had medicinal health benefits,</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The heavy eye make-up used had medical as well as aesthetic benefits. </span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lead salts in the mixture helped to protect against eye disease, says research published by French scientists.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Philippe Walter,who headed a team from the Louvre museum and the CNRS national research institute, said: 'We knew ancients Greeks and Romans, too, had noted the make-up had medicinal properties, but wanted to determine exactly how.'</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Contrary to widely held belief that lead was harmful, the team, using analytical chemistry, found that 'in very low doses lead does not kill cells.'</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Instead, it produces a molecule-nitric oxide-which activates the immune defence system that beats back bacteria in case of eye infection.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The research was carried out using a tiny electrode, the 10th of the size of a hair, to look at the effect of a lead chloride synthesised by the Egyptians on a single cell.</span></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is also thought that Galena, the natural mineral form of lead sulphite, was used as kohl and possesses antiseptic and fly-deterrent properties as well as protecting the eyes from intense sun.</span></span><br />
