Divine Comedy Southern Hemisphere
417 wordsIn his lecture, Professor Mark Dantmore says that Purgatorio is "almost science fiction" to people of the time it was written.

In fact, it was demonstrated in the lecture that the descriptions of the pos...

The Eye And Laser Surgery
1,557 words... pascal pulse of 250 is very long compared to other lasers. The discharge is build up in three phases: 1) X-ray pre-ionisation provides a homogeneous distribution of electrons in the discharge area. 2) A high voltage pre-pulse with a very fast rise time multiplies these electrons in an avalanche process, providing a homogeneous ignition of the discharge.

Dont Remember Dim Light
4,132 wordsMy Evening with Cliff Cliff Richard stubbed out the cigarette butt and immediately lit another from my fireplace. This was something else new. The Cliff Richard that I knew would never smoke. He sat back in the armchair, took a long draw, and exhaled slowly, relishing in the pattern of swirling smoke lit up by the fire. Yes, I know I havent been in contact for a long, long time. Im sorry, I really am. But there has been a good reason. Since I had known him at college, his appearance and manner h...
