Hyperopia
Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, or hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred. This blurred effect is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina wall due to insufficient accommodation by the lens. Minor hypermetropia in young patients is usually corrected by their accommodation, without any defects in vision. But, due to this accommodative effort for distant vision, people may complain of eye strain during prolonged reading. Some hypermetropes can see clear at distance, but near vision may be blurred due to insufficient accommodation. For this reason, this defect is referred as far-sightedness. If the hypermetropia is high, there will be defective vision for both distance and near. People may also experience accommodative dysfunction, binocular dysfunction, amblyopia, and strabismus. Newborns are almost invariably hypermetropic, but it gradually decreas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He is the founder of the Farsight Institute which does explorations into the past or future through remote viewings along with exposing secret information. Applied mathematics Brown's research in applied mathematics is mostly focused on social science applications of time-dependent models. He has published five peer-reviewed books and numerous articles in applied mathematics. Brown is also a very visible advocate of the use of the R Programming Language, both for statistical as well as nonlinear modeling applications in the social sciences.

List Of Tau
The T'au Empire (alternatively and formerly spelled Tau) is a fictional alien empire and one of the playable armies in the setting of a miniature wargame ''Warhammer 40,000''. In the fictional setting of ''Warhammer 40,000'', the T'au Empire is a relatively small interstellar empire located on the fringe of the Imperium of Man. The Tau seek to conquer and unite the galaxy under an ideology they call "the Greater Good" and currently hold sovereignty over several alien species. Unlike most other races in the setting, the Tau are in a state of expansion and technological progress, which leaves often coming into conflict with the Imperium of Man. They are known for their focus on ranged combat, with further focus on ambush tactics and the use of shock and awe strategies. Melee combat is typically avoided by T'au, and when unavoidable is typically relegated to auxiliary units pulled from other alien species within the empire.
