Troy (NY) - A research team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has developed a new type of liquid lens that rapidly changes focus through sound wave energy.
The lens is extremely light weight, durable and may have future applications in cell phones and other low-power, high speed stationary cameras for security. Amir H. Hirsa and Carlos A. Lopez co-authored a paper that explains the technology in detail. Most liquid lens solutions rely on changing the shape of the liquid in order to refocus it. Two tiny water droplets are positioned into a cylinder. The advantage of this idea is that the sound wave generation requires only tiny amounts of energy while allowing for a nearly perfect focus on high speed video regardless of zoom. Discordianism. "Sacred Chao" redirects here. For the German thrash metal band by that name, see Living Death. There is some division as to whether it should be regarded as a parody religion, and if so to what degree.[2] It is difficult to estimate the number of Discordians because they are not required to hold Discordianism as their only belief system,[3] and because there is an encouragement to form schisms and cabals.[4][5] Founding[edit] The foundational document of Discordianism is the Principia Discordia, fourth edition, written by Malaclypse the Younger, an alias of Greg Hill.

Organization[edit] The very idea of a Discordian organization is something of a paradox. POEE[edit] History[edit] Eris[edit] The Original Snub[edit] Curse of Greyface[edit] See also[edit] Worry doll. An assortment of worry dolls. Worry dolls (muñecas quitapenas), or trouble dolls, are very small and colorful dolls traditionally made in Guatemala.[1] A person (usually a child) who cannot sleep due to worrying can express their worries to a doll and place it under their pillow before going to sleep.
Some medical centers use them in conjunction with treatment for disease in children.[2][3] According to folklore, the doll is thought to worry in the person's place, thereby permitting the person to sleep peacefully. The person will wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night. Parents may remove the doll during the night, reinforcing the child's belief that the worry is gone.
Some parents involve the child in making the dolls to further increase the psychological benefits of releasing worries, and instructions may be found online. Because they are inexpensive and small to transport, many tourists buy the dolls.[4] References[edit] All sizes | Who Increased The Debt?
