Mass media, America’s nasty Chlamydia, a V.D., an S.T.D. called Network TV. You bet; the wet nurses, coercers and disbursers of news and views to the nation, or a confused interpretation thereof; the Corporations’ representation, as released for general dissemination to the beast, as Alexander Hamilton, was pleased to describe us. He ascribed to the line of thought, that proscribed and sought to, exclude, all those considered crude, and untutored, which effectively, even back then, neutered ninety percent of the white male complement. But that’s all changed; now a range of, activities are in place, to keep the real proclivities and face of America invisible; so much for indivisible. We have now, rabid consumers and avid assumers; a non-thinking population. Yet another generation, which accepts, unblinking, the precepts of reality, as defined, by a refined, and elite ideology, sponsored by the Captains of Industry; what they perceive, we’re supposed to believe, and take for truth. It’s a ruse, make-believe, designed to deceive us, and at the same time relieve us of, any responsibility, for planning, or manning our own destiny; it’s all serendipity say the few. Their one sided view, right on cue, causes refraction, and pauses the action of the many. Weapons of mass distraction; fixing our attention in another dimension thus, switching our focus to another locus, to further muddy our perception. A perfect deception, a standard joke; to be candid, a yoke. Like the myth of the liberal media, the wish of the ignorant, and more belligerent whose, core is blinded by the right; sightless drones who don’t even know the media’s been owned and cloned by Corporate America, since their advent, which event, brought to the forefront their insatiable greed, and the need to plant a seed and prevent a thinking agent - indeed their main intent - was to reinvent the wheel, so they could say what’s good and what’s real; what’s hot, and what’s not; reality V for all to see. And we all trot along, with our little patriot songs; they got us, led us, dead to right or wrong, we’re on the side of the strong, all night long. The polls showed the incumbent ahead, although I read and heard the word on the street was, hell no, he’s got to go. More than a few refused to choose between the War on Terror, and the flaw of economic error.

The microscope is an important educational tool used in scientific research and education. It is used to produce a larger image of an object for projects ranging from medical discoveries to important educational training in schools across the nation. Microscopes use technology to allow humans to view objects as they could never be seen with the naked eye alone.

A conventional microscope was first developed during the last part of the 16th century, which lead the world of science toward a prospering future in the world of medicine and biology. In it’s earliest years, the microscope was primarily used as a recreational device and was found mainly in wealthier homes. It wasn’t long, however, before technology and research began to blend for a new discovery relating to blood circulation. In addition, advancements in the study of bacteria and diseases were among the discoveries that followed.

The majority of microscopes are called light microscopes, which uses a series of high powered magnifying lenses in order to bend light rays. Studies continued through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries while, at the end of the nineteenth century, an even bigger development occurred. With the realization that electrons could be used as a light source in microscopes, scientists were provided with a never before seen resolution. The first electron microscope was unveiled approximately 75 years ago, which allowed for even smaller things to be researched and viewed. Among the advancements, atoms were finally visible for the first time and viruses could finally be identified with the powerful magnification and resolution of the electron microscope.

A microscope is an important tool and should be treated carefully. Proper care should be exercised when handling, or transporting, a microscope in order to avoid damage to the unit. Always carry the microscope with both hands and in the upright position. If you have a special tote or a box, either will work fine for transportation. When the microscope is in use, always make sure that it is placed on a flat surface and one that is not shaky. A sturdy table is the best placement for a microscope, but avoid placing it close to the edge where it could fall off to the side. After each use, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in proper cleanup of the unit, as well as any slides. If you do not plan to view the slide’s contents again, they should be cleaned in order to avoid interaction with future items that are placed on the slide for viewing.

While much emphasis is placed on scientific research and the technical aspects of microscopes, it’s important to remember that children can also benefit from the tool’s educational teachings. When you’re a child, it’s fun to collect a sample of anything and check it out under a microscope. Of course, microscopes begin as toys for smaller children and advance to larger, and more realistic models, as the child ages and is better able to understand the importance of the tool. If a child learns to be familiar with a microscope at a young age, he/she will be much more prepared for biology classes and the various parts and styles of microscopes.

A little girl came up to her mom in the store and she asked, Mom do we celebrate Hanukah? The little girl had obviously seen a sign in the store that said Celebrate Hanukah next to some merchandise. The mom said no we do not celebrate hanakah, but pointed to a lady sitting in the bookstore in the middle of the café and said that lady over there does. The girl asked her mom, what does Hanukah do? The mom said; ask the lady with the gold circle necklace over there.

So the little girl went over to the lady with the Mr. “T” size golden circle with the Star of David emblem in the middle. The girl said. My mom says you celebrate Hanukah, but we don’t, why don’t we celebrate Hanukah too. The lady said probably because you celebrate Christmas, the girl said ‘OH’, yes we do celebrate Christmas every year. But why can’t we celebrate both? The lady said that the bible is in two parts and we believe in the first part and not so much all of the second part. We believe that Jesus was a very very important person, but we believe there is another important person coming one day. The little girl said OH. The lady said you are Christian and I am Jewish. The little girl said oh. The lady said Merry Christmas and the girl said thank you. And the older lady told the girl if she had any Jewish friends that she should wish them Happy Hannaka.

The girl said okay then. “Happy Hanukah” the little girl said. The girl went back to her mom and said, that the lady was very nice and that she now understands the difference and why they did not celebrate Hanukah. Her mom smiled across the café at the older Jewish Lady with the huge golden circle containing the Star of David on it and mouthed the words; ‘thank you so much’. The older Jewish lady just blinked and smiled back. This is a true story, I witnessed in a Barnes and Noble Book Store in Ft Myers FL.

It makes me so glad to be an American with Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Hindu, Catholic, LDS, Scientologist, and Christian friends; what a great nation. What a great country to live in. We should be thankful for what we have built and fight hard to protect it. It was so interesting to here the café come to a silence listening to how the wise Jewish lady was going to explain this to an innocent little girl. I felt a sigh of relief come over the entire room as the Older Jewish lady fielded the question perfectly. I think everyone in the room learned something that afternoon. I do not know who that lady was, but it is so good to see the patience and understanding she had. What if the whole world was like that?
