Extra efforts followed to ensure that patients with critical care needs were prioritised over non-essential interactions. įrom the end of 2020, to present times, the company began to resume routine testing in line with government guidance. A small number of clinics are said to have remained open to offer essential, emergency clinical care. Onur Köksal, (CEO) began to initiate the furlough of all non-essential staff. By June 2018, all the Tesco Optician stores had been rebranded to late March 2020, Vision Express closed non-essential branches indefinitely in a nationwide response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This increased the Vision Express store count (in the UK) to 600. This increased the total number of stores to 391 by the end of 2014.ĭecember 2017 saw Vision Express announce the completion of the deal to incorporate 209 Tesco Opticians into their portfolio. The following day, it was announced that the store in Millom (which was due to be transferred to the nearby location of Barrow-In-Furness), would remain open following a review from local residents, bringing the total number of Vision Express stores to 390 by the end of 2014.įollowing a further announcement on 9 December 2014, Vision Express decided to continue to trade from the Conlons store in Annan as part of its portfolio.

Later, Galileo's student Benedetto Castelli discovered the projection method for looking at the Sun (using a pinhole camera), which Galileo felt was a far superior method of solar observation. He may even have looked at the Sun through a low power telescope. You've probably been told that it isn't safe to stare at the sun and that watching a solar eclipse without proper eye protection can make you go blind. Galileo found the addition of fog particularly useful, because it allowed Galileo to observe sunspots on the Sun.Īlthough we don't know how often Galileo looked directly at the Sun, we know from his letters that he made several observations. ![]() This not only makes the Sun less intense, it gives the Sun its reddish glow. When the Sun is low in the sky its light must travel through much more atmosphere to reach us. He looked when the Sun was low on the horizon at dawn or sunset, often when somewhat obscured by fogs or clouds. He never looked directly at the Sun when it was high in the sky. This was not one of Galileo's best ideas, but he did try to be careful about it. As part of his work he looked directly at the Sun many times. But Galileo also made naked-eye observations of the heavens. His discovery of the the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus changed our understanding of the solar system. According to Dr Karunarathne, sunglasses with a blue and UV filter could do the trick when outdoors, as could avoiding electronic displays at night.Galileo is most famous for his telescopic observations. Blue light is emitted by PC monitors, televisions, your smartphone, and so many other devices, not to mention the freaking sun. It’s easy enough to say, “okay why not just avoid blue light”, but that’s harder to do. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop.” “It’s no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye’s retina. “We are being exposed to blue light continuously, and the eye’s cornea and lens cannot block or reflect it,” says Dr Ajith Karunarathne, assistant professor at the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Can the sun cause temporary blindness Photokeratitis is a painful, temporary eye condition caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays. Because we now understand exactly what the issue is, we can find better ways to combat it. 'What is it Sunshine' out of curiosity but without any hint of worry. ![]() Thankfully, the study has more to contribute than just worries. ![]() All of these cells died when exposed to a combination of retinal cells and blue light, but were fine when only exposed to one of the other. To study the effect, the researchers introduced retinal molecules to other cell types in the human body, including heart cells, neurons, and even cancer cells. And yet, blue light could be causing this in millions of people well before their time. Photoreceptors dying is a well-documented process called macular degeneration, and it’s something most noticed with advanced age. When they’re dead, they’re dead for good.” “Photoreceptor cells do not regenerate in the eye. If you shine blue light on retinal, the retinal kills photoreceptor cells as the signaling molecule on the membrane dissolves,” says Kasun Ratnayake, a PhD student who contributed to the study, in a press release. But without a supply of retinal molecules, they’re useless.Īs it turns out, prolonged exposure to blue light actually causes retinal cells to trigger chemical reactions in the photoreceptors that poison and kill them. The thing is, you’re able to see because of the photoreceptors in your retina. Now, scientists have puzzled out exactly what makes blue light so harmful.Īccording to a new study from the University of Toledo’s optical chemistry research division, blue light is literally poisoning your eyeballs. It’s been known to cause eye fatigue and vision loss, though we’ve never been able to figure out just why that is. Sun exposure may increase the likelihood of developing this condition. Blue light filters are a popular accessory for computers, for good reason. Cataracts Cataracts are a primary cause of blindness worldwide. (These image formats are acceptable: jpeg gif png.)

![]() Lazarus taxa are of considerable public interest and attract major media coverage. exemplify species that were thought to be extinct until found again (Scheffers et al., 2011). The Cuban solenodon Solenodon cubanus, Banggai crow Corvus unicolor, and the coelacanth Latimeria spp. Rediscovery of so-called “Lazarus species” (Dawson et al., 2006, Flessa and Jablonski, 1983) provides some hope in a generally glum conservation world. For Kalimantan’s rhinos the choice to publicize-and-protect has been made, closing the door for a strategy based on secrecy, and making effective conservation solutions now all the more urgent. When, without publicity, costs are expected to remain relatively constant over time, or when publicity increases the risk significantly relatively to benefits, secrecy-based strategies should be favoured to develop ways that maximize the likelihood of benefits exceeding costs. Costs and benefits change over time but may not do so at the same rate, and publicity can change these rates significantly. The trade-offs facing organizations with the exciting prospect of a Lazarus species is one between the costs and benefits of publicity. We suggest that a secrecy-based strategy for Kalimantan’s rhinos would have had lower risks and potentially higher long-term returns for conservation. The “publicize-and-protect” strategy now envisaged following the widely announced rediscovery of rhinos in Kalimantan requires immediate major conservation intervention, which, given the track record of conservation in Indonesia, is unlikely to be effective. Interviews with hunters suggests that without information on the presence of rhinos, the perceived financial benefits of hunting down widely dispersed rhinos no longer justified the actual costs. We argue that in the decades the species was thought to be extirpated, the population in Kalimantan could persist precisely because of the lack of attention. We question the decision to publicise this rediscovery. The threat of poaching for its horn, however, remains as strong as ever. The species was thought to have been extinct there for over a quarter of a century. In 2013, evidence that the Sumatran rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sumatrensis still existed in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo, made global headlines. However, it can also back-fire when publicity creates threats that were previously absent. This publicity could potentially generate financial and political support to prevent the species from becoming ‘extinct’ once again. Lazarus species, species that were thought to be extinct until found again, are of considerable public interest and attract major media coverage as they offer a glimmer of hope in a generally glum conservation world. ![]() The exact error message, if one pops up Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL).

Staying off the grid and using solar energy allows people to enjoy the benefits of power without having to pay monthly electric bills or connection fees. Because solar panels require sunshine to collect electricity, mounting them on roofs is sufficient. It is feasible to power a home on solar energy even at night or when there is less sun exposure by storing electricity in a solar battery.īecause remote areas have little infrastructure, connecting to the electricity grid can be difficult for residents, making off-grid solar systems ideal for such situations. ![]() The electricity is then converted using an inverter to power the appliances in the home or company. It operates by using solar panels to generate power, which is then used to charge a solar battery via a charger controller. Off-grid solar power systems, also known as stand-alone power systems, are one of the most common forms of solar power systems (SAPS). However, as battery prices fall, the market for off-grid solar battery systems is expanding, even in cities and towns. As a result, they are usually only needed in more rural places that are far from the power grid. Off-grid systems are substantially more expensive than on-grid systems due to the high cost of batteries and off-grid inverters. While the system is pricey, the fact that you won’t have to pay any electric bills in the long run is beneficial because it allows you to save money for other things. Going off the grid eliminates the need to pay monthly electric bills. Off-grid solar systems must be appropriately constructed to generate enough power throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to meet the home’s needs, even when sunlight is sparse in the dead of winter. When connected to the electrical grid, power outages can occur for a variety of causes, and they can last anywhere from a few minutes to several weeks, an off-grid solar system may store energy in batteries for use during outages, and households can even withdraw from the grid and rely solely on the system for power.īecause an off-grid system is not connected to the power grid, it requires battery storage. Because a grid-tied solar system is connected to the city’s power infrastructure, homeowners are advised to utilize an off-grid system to avoid any issues with the city’s electricity grid. When transitioning to solar energy, homeowners can select between a grid-tied solar system and an off-grid solar system. People are moving to clean, renewable energy to help make the world a greener place, and solar energy is one of the most popular options among homeowners. |
