This is just the first game of the year. We just won one game. I'm like, 'How can we maintain this kind of spirit? You know, so that was kind of special. I actually had a decent game and it was part of history.

So, that was super. That would have to be my most fun and earliest memory of Buffalo. Then my second most memorable event would be the birth of my first child — my daughter. We made the playoffs my second year and we were actually a Wild Card team and we played the New York Jets in the playoffs and I actually had a really, really good game against them and we won the game and we celebrated.

My wife was pregnant we were celebrating and all kinds of stuff and then when we flew back to Buffalo that morning, early that morning before the sun came up, she went into labor and my daughter was born that next day. So, that was kind of a special moment. I felt like I had a great game and then that was icing on the cake to have my child born…. Oh yeah. One of the guys that I think really helped me a lot was Roland Hooks.

Roland was a veteran a couple years ahead of me. Even though we played the same position, he never once, you know you'd expect someone if you're competing against someone [that's] the same position, you'd expect their information not to be accurate.

You expect them to tell you stuff that's not going to be good for you, but he was the most genuine guy that I know as far as to compete against for the same position.

He helped me as much as he could possibly do, I think. I still see him every now and then. I actually didn't tell him how much I appreciate everything that he did, until this past year. It was kind of emotional at the time because I was telling him how much I appreciate that he helped me get to that level. He said, 'Man I never even knew that.

That kind of says something about him. Probably the closest guy in the locker room was probably Ervin Parker because we came in together as rookies and we kind of spent a lot of time together. As rookies, you kind of…you're the foreign guys coming in and you kind of cling together until you figure out who is who and all that. He and I were good friends.

We're still good friends. Actually, he was in my wedding. So, he and I, even though he played on the other side [because] he was a linebacker, he and I were good friends. We roomed together a little while and you we would almost do everything together pretty much. I talked to him, Ervin, yesterday as a matter of fact. But yeah, there's several guys that I still stay in touch with.

There are probably guys that I kind of, not every day but maybe every other month or every month we have a conversation. Do you have any plays that stand out to you during your time with the Bills?

It could be one of your biggest plays or something you'll never forget. Ninety halfback option is probably one of the most successful plays for me and we called it the 'undefendable play. It's like because I had the option to run different routes and it was just a question of whether or not Joe, Joe Ferguson the quarterback, and I read it the same way. If we read it the same way, we're going to make it every time. There's just no way to defend it.

So, that was probably the one play, and I won't go into details trying to explain how it works, but ninety halfback option would be that play. Yeah, no question. Probably, the comradery and the relationships that develop over the years.

I think they mean more than probably the stats or the records and everything. It's the locker room, it's the relationships, it's the friendships that you develop, and I think that's probably true with all levels of sports.

There's something special about being in the locker room, being in the fire, being in the huddle with 10 other guys that are trying to achieve something or make something happen and you know, counting on them to do their job and you know that you have to do your job because they're counting on you. So, I think that's kind of special. I really do. I was one of the most superstitious, unsuperstitious guys you'll ever [meet].

I always said, '…Well, you know it doesn't matter' but I always did some of the same things. It was like, I know I'm not superstitious but yeah, I better do this anyway to make sure.

And there were a few things I always did before every game. There was a special prayer that I would always say at some point — this is besides the regular team prayer and all of that. This was kind of like my personal little prayer and then there were [other] certain things that I would do.

Whatever my routine was, I wanted it to be the same. So, I tried to keep the same routine but sometimes I didn't. So, that's why I say I'm superstitious, but I'm not superstitious. I think the thing you miss the most is the, for me…I think it's the things that I said were special to me. I think I miss the locker room. I miss the fact that for every week, I'm working with guys and we have an objective that we're trying to achieve, and we're working hard to try and achieve it. That kind of thing.

It's like, a lot of people don't realize that playing professional football is a job and it's a unique kind of job because you really get close to the people…Your job is about interaction with other guys and figuring things out and making them work. So, I think that is probably the thing I miss most. For the last maybe something years, I've been in the financial services industry.

Primarily, on the insurance side of setting up supplemental retirement plans for guys, for individuals. I do all types of insurance — business, personal, everything on the insurance side.

The ancients created idols fashioned of wood and stone. Modern society has set aside that type of idol in favor of new idols—idols of fancy gadgets, material wealth, a comfortable lifestyle, and even our children. Human beings have seen and experienced the limitless bounty of idolatry, where we place some created object or person in the place of the one true God.

What idols do you hold dear in your life? The letter to the Hebrews makes clear that only one Person deserves to hold the primary place in our lives. While we are busy idolizing our move up the corporate ladder or placing all our hopes in our kids, Jesus offers us a better position, a better priest, a better covenant, a better hope, and a better sacrifice.

Only when we give Jesus His rightful place in our lives will everything else in life fall into its rightful place. View Chuck Swindoll's chart of Hebrews , which divides the book into major sections and highlights themes and key verses.

Who wrote the book? The prologue presents Christ as God's full and final revelation, far surpassing the revelation given in the OT. The prophecies and promises of the OT are fulfilled in the "new covenant" or "new testament" , of which Christ is the mediator. From the OT itself, Christ is shown to be superior to the ancient prophets, to angels, to Moses the mediator of the former covenant and to Aaron and the priestly succession descended from him.

Hebrews could be called "the book of better things" since the two Greek words for "better" and "superior" occur 15 times in the letter. A striking feature of this presentation of the gospel is the unique manner in which the author employs expositions of eight specific passages of the OT Scriptures:. Practical applications of this theme are given throughout the book. The readers are told that there can be no turning back to or continuation in the old Jewish system, which has been superseded by the unique priesthood of Christ.

God's people must now look only to him, whose atoning death, resurrection and ascension have opened the way into the true, heavenly sanctuary of God's presence. To "ignore such a great salvation" or to give up the pursuit of holiness ,14 is to face the anger of the "living God" Five times the author weaves into his presentation of the gospel stern warnings see note on and reminds his readers of the divine judgment that came on the rebellious generation of Israelites in the desert.

Hebrews is commonly referred to as a letter, though it does not have the typical form of a letter. It ends like a letter but begins more like an essay or sermon The author does not identify himself or those addressed, which letter writers normally did.

And he offers no manner of greeting, such as is usually found at the beginning of ancient letters. Rather, he begins with a magnificent statement about Jesus Christ. He calls his work a "word of exhortation" , the conventional designation given a sermon in a synagogue service see Ac , where "message of encouragement" translates the same Greek words as "word of exhortation". Like a sermon, Hebrews is full of encouragement, exhortations and stern warnings.

It is likely that the author used sermonic materials and sent them out in a modified letter form. All rights reserved. Learn More. Share Download. Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God's love and mercy and is worthy of our trust and devotion.

Clicking on a chapter will show you the text of that chapter of Hebrews in the Bible New International Version. Although long thought to be Paul, the author of Hebrews is in fact unidentified. Throughout the years, biblical scholars and historians have suggested many potential authors, including Barnabas, Apollos, Priscilla, Clement, and Timothy.

Whether by close connection with Paul or knowledge of both Jewish tradition and the Greek language, many of these suggestions are at least possible, though some are more likely than others. Hebrews was written to a group of Jewish believers who were apparently reverting to the old covenant—their laws and traditions.

The look and feel of your blogs is totally amazing too.. Much love?? Did exuma water sports jet ski tour take You to all these places? Going on our honeymoon here in June and would love to see some of this stuff! We did a jet ski tour with Exuma Water Sports just around the island and we visited one of the smaller islands with swimming pigs, a cove with sea turtles, and a shipwreck. We did all those with Exuma Water Tours as a full day activity I highly recommend it. They may have changed their itineraries since we did go 2 years ago, so I would email both companies to see which tours they offer and where exactly they go from the main island of Exuma.

This is Perfect. It looked like you had an amazing trip!!!! My Husband and I are planning a trip next year for our 10 year wedding anniversary!!! Did you travel anywhere else around the island, any other beaches, restaurants…. Any other recommendations for booking our trip?

What time of the year did you go? Thank you so much!!! Hey Courtney! Wow 10 years, congratulations! Exuma is such a beautiful, romantic destination! We went the last week of May and it was very beautiful. There were a couple of afternoon storms but nothing that kept us from any activities.

We were on our honeymoon and stayed at the Sandals resort, which is all inclusive. We did meet a couple that was staying at an air BnB on the East side of the island and they loved it. Hi Angie, we just checked your new page and we really like it. We know how hard it is to start a new blog. Keep going! We want to read more about Bahamas or any other places.

Exuma looks amazing! It is on our list now. Thanks, xx. Wow thank you so much for checking out my website!! It is such an amazing place! And the swimming pigs are too cute. The water is my favorite part! Just beautiful and everything you would want for a beach vacation!! And the pigs were so awesome! I loved Exuma too!

I did it as a solo trip and fell in love with the island. It really is picture perfect. I rented a car and cruised around by myself for a couple days visiting some deserted beaches and had a blast.

And of course visit to the pigs. I had so much fun the first day, I booked a second day as well! Oh wow a solo trip there would be amazing as well!!! There so many cool places to explore around Exuma!!

Great post and incredible pics Angie! Exuma is definitely on our list of trips.. Thank you soooooo much Chrissie for checking out my website and blog! As a fan this sounds like a must-visit for me!

You and my husband would get along so well! The only reason we went to Thunderball Grotto was because Layton really loves the movies! Hi Angie! We just checked out your blog and it is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more posts soon! Hi Alicia! I cannot thank you enough for your kind words! It means so much that you visited my website and were the first other than my husband haha to comment!

I am so thrilled to have you join me on my adventures around the globe. Hoping to get some more posts up soon so stay tuned! The Snorkeling Is Incredible.

The sharks can grow up to 14 feet, though most reach around seven foot in length. To get to Compass Cay, you can take a water taxi from Staniel Cay by either taking a day trip from there or negotiating with a local fisherman at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Note that this is a self-service property, as there are no restaurants or grocery stores on the island, other than a souvenir shop selling snacks at the marina.

Lehder even built an airstrip for his private fleet of aircraft, though the airport is no longer used for commercial flights and only charter flights can land. It was only in that marine biologist Richard E. The arrangement was that the island could be used for the festival, as long as there was no connection made to the drug-fueled past. The island has also been used as a set for the Johnny Depp film Blow , in which the actor played drug trafficker George Jung, and also as a set in the second episode of season 1 of Narcos.

Musha Cay is a privately owned island, around 85 miles southeast of Nassau, owned by illusionist David Copperfield. There is a ultra-luxury resort located on the island, which consists of five homes that can accommodate up to 24 guests minimum five-night stay , with rates starting from USD57, per night! If you are staying at the resort, Musha Cay can be reached via a minute flight or minute boat ride from Georgetown, Great Exuma, as arranged by the resort. Then, the island was abandoned overnight when funding ran out and everyone left, leaving all equipment behind.

Lee Stocking Island can be visited by charter vessel, but there is no public transport that goes to the island, nor is there any infrastructure there.

The isle was once home to a pineapple plantation, but has no formal infrastructure. There are a few beach bars and private homes. Most visitors take day trips from Paradise Island to swim with the pigs here. Did you Enjoy this Post on the Exumas? Why not Pin it to save to Pinterest? Looking to book your next trip?

We are planning a trip to the Bahamas as soon as things open back up, and we will be adding all of these swimming and snorkeling spots to the list. Definitely looking forward to Thunderball Grotto! First off, the photos look astoundingly surreal and out of this world! The beautiful art of nature plus great photography equals these masterpieces! BAHAMAS is really a heaven on earth that we realized after reading your blog and going through the shared pictures and the second thing is though its small in size but their is a lot to explore.

Thanks For sharing. Thank you for sharing this information. Yes, of course, The Bahamas is such a very beautiful place for spending a vacation. Shhhhh dont tell anyone! Beautiful pictures and a great post!

These pictures are making me want to take a trip to the Bahamas. I love your photos; the underwater shots and that swimming pig! I love the idea of seeing the island on a golf cart. We did the same in San Andres, Colombia. Frank bbqboy.

Absolutely stunning photography. They make us want to go back too. Especially the Exumas. Kirsten you would love it. The Exumas were so much more than I expected.

On a Bahamas Day Trip with Bahamas Air Tours you will have the chance to view a seemingly endless number of picturesque scenes such as this one. A Bahamas tour to visit the Staniel Cay pigs has become the most sought after trip in the entire world. After visiting these pigs and being entertained by them as they paddle past your boat, you can visit a number of other exciting destinations nearby.

Sunken plane wrecks, gorgeous grottos and prehistoric islands on which Bahamian Rock Iguanas Roam. Georgetown Exumas, located on Great Exuma, is the capital of the Exuma Cays and an excellent stop on your Bahamas tour. For a start, this is a fantastic place to try out the local Bahamian cuisine at the Fish Fry just to the north of Georgetown Exumas.

You will be spoiled for choice with a wide range of different seafood dishes, many of which including conch. A very popular ingredient in Bahamian cooking, you will be able to try cracked conch, conch fritters, conch salad and many more dishes, each with their own distinct flavours and textures. Tasting these dishes is a great way to immerse yourself in the Bahamian culture on a Bahamas Day Trip. While there really is no better viewpoint than from the window of a Bahamas Air Tours plane, a visit to Mount Thompson on Great Exuma will provide you with a fantastic view of the island.

Not only will you see the island from a new perspective, but you will also have a perfect view of the famous Three Sisters rock formation. Protruding dramatically from the ocean just off the coast of Great Exuma, the Three Sisters provide a unique addition to this beautiful Bahamian scene.

Delving into the history of Great Exuma, you can visit the Rolle Town Tombs which date back to the times of the loyalists in the Bahamas. Rolle Town is located just south of Georgetown Exumas. Upon arrival in Rolle Town you can make your way to the small clearing in which you will find the 3 famous Rolle Town Tombs. This experience provides you with a fascinating window into the past on your Bahamas tour.

The range of activities available to you on a Bahamas Air Tour is truly impressive, and your flights to Great Exuma will not be wasted. Great Exuma also serves as a fantastic gateway to some of the nearby islands. Stocking Island, just off the east coast of Great Exuma is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas.

But finding out how and where to spend the pure research dollar is key. We have to drive them. But even then binary computation has limitations. Hofmann has kicked into that smartness warp I mentioned earlier. How we use bandwidth right now is wasteful. There are certain gains that can be made simply by more smartly allocating how the spectrum gets used. Nobody expected your thirteen-year-old daughter to want to watch high-res vampire movies on a hand-held mobile device while waiting for a bus.

Bell Labs is on this in a major way, to reduce energy use by a factor of one thousand. We have to face the fact that God might actually be bored by knowing all the answers to everything. Hofmann gives a dry chuckle. But manufacturing competition is crazy, and we have such quick feedback now. Andy Warhol believed that all the Chinese restaurants in Manhattan had just one jumbo kitchen underground that they all got their food from.

Is the company pursuing too many near-term projects? Are we overestimating their impact? How much should you spend on internal research, as opposed to buying new technologies? Prioritizing ideas is crucial. I remember that I forgot my phone today. That predictable homesicky wave washes over me. What is it about forgetting your phone? We all know the sensation.

Or in the car. What am I missing? Sometimes I look at those dogs people tether to posts outside the local grocery store, those dutiful dogs waiting for their masters to emerge so they can complete their canine pack animal sense of self, and I think that mobile phones and the Internet have collectively turned us all into dogs waiting outside the Safeway.

Curiously, the conversion from dog into cat is dealt with in an oblique manner by my next Alcatel-Lucent interviewee, Marcus Weldon. Weldon is Corporate Chief Technology Officer and has a large office, which he has made some commitment to personalizing with a large magnetic spinning globe that works bravely to combat the beige paint and sun-faded blond hardwoods and oatmeal carpeting. His dryerase whiteboard panels are the cleanest in the building, showing no ghosts at all of meetings past.

As his bio, pillaged directly from the Alcatel-Lucent website, proves, this guy really knows his stuff:. In , Dr. The two of us quickly fall into a discussion about modern communications. People used UNIX command-line addresses. It is in this massive amount of trivia that Weldon sees the future of communications technology. Nobody wants to drink water from a fire hose.

I need to be interacting with a set of machines that will allow me to optimize my life. We also need to make the physical world and the virtual world interact—as what happens playing with Kinect and Wii. And the future is a machine that learns you. Most of us leave scads of digital traces behind us almost every second of our lives. If your phone has a GPS connected to a single downloaded app, then your presence on earth can be perpetually recorded. Whenever there is a sound that can be interpreted as a word, Google will do so, effectively transforming your entire life into a searchable document.

I used to collect high-school yearbooks; the faces in them often trigger interesting ideas for characters and plot twists. In a friend and I wrote a script for a movie called Doppelgangers. Its premise is that the villain uses secret facial recognition software to locate his look-alike and, of course, murder ensues.

Dennis Ritchie's archived website While at Bell Labs, Dennis Ritchie created some of the most important programming languages still in use today.

But research didn't just stop. In , for example, Karl Jansky, working at the Holmdel, New Jersey facility, discovered radio astronomy. Another trend was closer cooperation with the military, which had begun during World War I, and which continued in the s as Bell Labs began working on radar and military communication systems. At the end of the war Bell Labs was at the peak of its power. From the late s through the late s, it reigned unchallenged as the largest and perhaps most inventive industrial laboratory in the world.

Its engineers and scientists invented or brought to fruition numerous technologies, including the first transistor and many of its important variations. Although the integrated circuit was invented elsewhere, construction techniques invented at Bell Labs established many of the necessary precursors to it. The same could be said for fiber optic transmission, electronic switching systems, cellular telephony , satellite communication , solar power, and other technologies we use today. Although not all of their elements were invented at Bell Labs, it was there that the long and incredibly expensive development process brought them to maturity.

The Charge-Coupled Device or CCD, now universally used in digital cameras, video cameras, the Hubble telescope, and elsewhere, was one such development. These divested operations became the seven regional "Baby Bells. But with Bell Labs now being owned by a much smaller company in the competitive businesses of long distance telephone service and telecommunications equipment, the financial resources were much smaller, and Bell Labs gradually contracted, particularly in pure research.

The labs split as well, with researchers following the business whose work they supported. Explore content Browse by Subject.

Northrop Grumman has been a leader in space for more than 60 years, from missions supporting human discovery all the way to critical military space programs. Fifty years ago today, April 17, , the Apollo 13 Command Module and crew safely returned home, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean as more than 40 million Americans tuned in to watch. Those engineers from Grumman and TRW, heritage Northrop Grumman companies, were instrumental in enabling the rescue operation a half century ago.

Prior to the Command Module making its final descent to earth, the Service Module would also be jettisoned and burn up in the atmosphere. The mission was going as planned until an explosion occurred onboard the CSM 56 hours into the mission. Since critical elements aboard the spacecraft were built by TRW and Grumman engineers, many were urgently called in to help solve this mission-critical problem.

Tens of thousands of miles above earth, the three Apollo 13 crew members rationed their supplies and took shelter in Aquarius. The LM, which was only intended to accommodate two astronauts for 36 hours during a lunar surface mission, now had to sustain three astronauts for more than 86 hours. The larger flag that Lovell and Haise would have planted at their Fra Mauro landing site was stowed in a compartment on the exterior of the lunar module, so it was inaccessible to return to Earth.

What was in reach and did come back, though, was a metal plaque that Lovell and Haise would have used to cover a similar marker attached to Aquarius' ladder. The revised plaque named Swigert instead of Thomas "Ken" Mattingly, who had been exposed to the German measles and replaced on the Apollo 13 crew days before the mission's launch. Lovell and Haise also took it upon themselves to collect a few more "moon rocks" for good measure — and memorabilia.

Lovell detached a mirror and the crewman optical alignment sight COAS from above the commander's window in the lunar module, while Haise collected some of the netting used to restrain items and the four armrests from below Aquarius' control stations.

The two also cut off their patches from the portable life support system PLSS backpacks they would have worn on the moon. Lovell also packed his spacesuit's helmet visor assembly LEVA , his lunar surface gloves and the checklist he would have worn on his wrist.

With everything stowed in lockers and in bags underneath the astronauts' seats, Odyssey was properly weighted for re-entry and the crew safely splashed down in the South Pacific Ocean.

After the flight, and in the 50 years since , Apollo 13's "moon rocks" made their way into museums and private collections. But the small vessel protected and carried the crew long enough to reach Earth's atmosphere. In the hours before splashdown, the exhausted crew scrambled back over to the Odyssey powered it up. The craft had essentially been in a cold water soak for days, and could have shorted out, but thanks to safeguards put in place after the Apollo 1 disaster, there were no issues.

Numerous design changes were made to the Apollo service module and command module on subsequent missions in the Apollo program. As for the astronauts, Haise was assigned to command the Apollo 19 moon mission. However, it and two other missions were canceled after NASA's budget was cut.

He later piloted the space shuttle Enterprise during its test flights. In , Swigert was elected to Congress in his home state of Colorado. However, during the campaign, he was diagnosed with bone cancer, and he died before he could be sworn in.

In , Lovell and journalist Jeffrey Kluger co-wrote a book about Lovell's spaceflight career that primarily focused on the events of the Apollo 13 mission.

That evening, several local whites attacked James Reeb , a white Unitarian minister who had come from Massachusetts to join the protest. His death two days later contributed to the rising national concern over the situation in Alabama. Because it is not just Negroes, but really it is all of us, who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. The following day Selma demonstrators submitted a detailed march plan to Judge Johnson, who approved the demonstration and enjoined Governor Wallace and local law enforcement from harassing or threatening marchers.

On 17 March Johnson submitted voting rights legislation to Congress. The federally sanctioned march left Selma on 21 March. Protected by hundreds of federalized Alabama National Guardsmen and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, the demonstrators covered between 7 to 17 miles per day.

And that will be a day not of the white man, not of the black man. Afterward a delegation of march leaders attempted to deliver a petition to Governor Wallace, but were rebuffed. That night, while ferrying Selma demonstrators back home from Montgomery, Viola Liuzzo, a housewife from Michigan who had come to Alabama to volunteer, was shot and killed by four members of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Voting Rights Act was designed to eliminate legal barriers at the state and local level that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote under the 15th Amendment — after nearly a century of unconstitutional discrimination. Last month, the President invited a number of people connected to the marches to attend a Black History Month reception here at the White House. We talked with some of them about their experiences -- and their stories are nothing short of inspirational.

Some of them also gave us their thoughts on the challenges facing today's generation:. On August 6, — just a few months after the march — President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, to prohibit racial discrimination in voting.

The act itself has been called the most effective piece of civil rights legislation ever passed by Congress. But the work is far from done. Today's generation still faces a number of challenges, and we must be as committed to change today as we were then.

In a group of community activists formed the "Dallas County Improvement Association" with the goal of having "White" and "Colored" signs removed from public buildings, an investigation of police brutality against blacks, and increased access to jobs and voter registration.

Local officials ignored the Association's concerns. The mayor of Selma, along with the chief of police, kept the government response mild. The mayor did not want the bad publicity that violent confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officials would bring. Selma's sheriff, Jim Clark -- infamous for leading a band of thuggish irregulars in the oppression of blacks -- had told the mayor he would not involve himself in the demonstrations in Selma.

However, demonstrations in the town of Marion, twenty-five miles northwest of Selma, were another matter. Civil rights organizers there, discouraged by their lack of progress in getting county officials to register black voters, requested help from the SCLC. After an emotional night rally at a Marion church, SCLC staffers led an impromptu march to the Marion courthouse just a few blocks away.

The marchers were met by a force of , made up of state troopers, county deputy sheriffs, local policemen, civilians, and Sheriff Jim Clark. With national and local journalists looking on, the marchers were ordered to disperse.

For example, there has been much debate about whether the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer may have used a camera obscura to capture incredible detail in his exquisite paintings of domestic interior scenes, but there is no documentary evidence.

The balance of opinion among art historians is that he probably did! The camera obscura is useful for making drawings, but it is only focusing and reflecting light, not capturing it. The next big leap, beginning in the 19th century, was to use a device like a camera obscura but to combine it with a material that would alter when exposed to the light, thus preserving the image.

So the camera obscura is a rather magical box after all — with just a hole and some light, we have the basis for all photography, including, believe it or not, the camera in your phone.

Before, we also had had evidence of the observation of the phenomenons and the effects of the sunlight produced by the Camera Obscura: since the fifth century in a few texts written by chinese philosophers and, in the fourth century in a referente by Aristotle. However, until Alhazen its relation with the formation of the optical image was not introduced.

During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci gave an impulse to the development of the camera obscura, using it to study in depth how the vision works, how the Light reacts and the laws of geometric perspective: he related all that to the painting techniques. The first written reference to the lenses was made by the mathematician Girolamo Cardano in , but the scientist Giovanni Della Porta was the one who, eight years later, spread this piece of news around the World.

In the XVIIth century, Robert Hooke built cameras oscuras, and tried to reproduce the curved shape of the retina, wiith concave screens of projection situated at the bottom of the camera. The intention was to demostrate the mechanism of the human vision.

We have a mirror at the top of our tower which is angled to reflect light down a large tube which contains three lenses. These lenses focus the light onto a white wooden table, projecting an image of the view outside. The mirror tilts and rotates allowing us to see a degree view of Edinburgh and the lenses allow us to see the image the right way up.

In fact, camera obscuras date back to as far as BC, possibly even before records existed. The earliest known written account of a camera obscura was provided by a Chinese philosopher called Mo-tzu or Mozi in BC. He noted that light from an illuminated object that passed through a pinhole into a dark room created an inverted image of the original object.

In the 4th century BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle realised that a partial eclipse could be viewed by looking at the ground beneath a tree. Camera obscura is a very old device. Oldest mention of its effect is by Mozi, Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohism, during the 5th century BC.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle noticed in 4th century that light from a sun eclipse that passes through holes between the leaves, projects an image of an eclipsed sun on the ground. Anthemius of Tralles, which designed the Hagia Sophia, used a type of camera obscura in his experiments in 6th century. Al-Kindi, Arab philosopher, mathematician, physician, and musician, performed experiments with light and a pinhole in 9th century and proved again behavior of light.
