I dag dykker vi ned i øjets anatomi og hvordan synet egentlig virker. 1: Hvordan synet virker2: Hvad er langsynet / kortsynet3: Grå stær4: Laser Eye Surgery5: Nat linser6: Elektrisk omformning af øjet 7: Guld i Øjet8: Chip i øjet----------1: Hvordan synet virkerHjerne / Synet forbindelsehttps://videnskab.dk/krop-sundhed/oejet-kigger-men-hjernen-ser/2: Hvad er langsynet / kortsynetØjets form3: Grå stærHvad er det?4: Laser Eye SurgeryLASIKFor those who want do do away with corrective lenses, the main option is LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) surgery, which uses a laser to reshape the cornea by removing microscopic amounts of tissue beneath a thin flap, allowing light to focus properly on the retina. While, for those suitable for treatment, LASIK has a high success rate – around 95% of patients go on to ditch their glasses only a few days after recovering from surgery – it's expensive and invasive, and cutting into the cornea alters the structural integrity of the eye.“LASIK is just a fancy way of doing traditional surgery,” said lead researcher and presenter Michael Hill, a professor in chemistry at Occidental College. “It's still carving tissue – it's just carving with a laser.”5: Nat linserhttps://www.city-optik-muenchen.de/en/orthokeratologie-muenchen-ortho-k-nachtlinsen/Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, offers a revolutionary way to correct vision without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. By wearing special contact lenses overnight, users can reshape the cornea and experience clear vision throughout the day. This method challenges the conventional approach to eyesight correction, offering a non-invasive alternative for those seeking freedom from corrective lenses.The cornea is the transparent part of the eye on which the contact lens is placed. It consists of five layers of different thicknesses. However, only the uppermost layer, the so-called epithelium, is important for us.Corneal epitheliumBowman membranestromaDescement's membraneendotheliumThe corneal epithelium is about 0.04mm to 0.06mm thick. It is the uppermost layer of the cornea and renews itself completely once in 7 days. Such an epithelium as it occurs on the eye, there is similarly also on the “normal” skin on the human body. Such an epithelium scales itself off and is thus a protection for the underlying tissue. The Ortho-K contact lens makes use of this process by pushing the top layer of the epithelium from the middle of the cornea (directly above the pupil) to the edge by adhesive forces (tensile forces). Since only the top layer of the epithelium is moved here, the natural protective mechanism of the eye is fully preserved. In addition, this effect of orthokeratology is reversible due to the rapid regeneration time of the epithelium. This means that if the contact lens is no longer worn, it will take another 7 days for the old shortsightedness to be restored. Orthokeratology is in no way harmful to the eye compared to laser eye surgery, which destroys tissue in much deeper layers (stroma) in order to achieve a lasting effect. Recent studies from the USA, on the other hand, have even pointed out that the eye dioptres in orthokeratological contact lenses remain very constant, i.e. do not change. For this reason, Ortho-K contact lenses are also used with children who are already very shortsighted at a young age. In general, there is no age limit for orthokeratology.6: Elektrisk omformning af øjethttps://bli.uci.edu/laser-free-vision-correction-uses-electrical-current-to-reshape-eye/Electric Eye Treatment (EMR - electromechanical reshaping)Denne teknik er stadigvæk ikke godkendt til mennesker, men de er i gang med kliniske forsøg.Scientists have developed a novel, non-invasive technique that reshapes the cornea using only a mild electric current and a temporary pH shift. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye, acting as a transparent window that helps focus incoming light. It's made of tightly packed collagen fibers and is designed to be strong and smooth. When light enters the eye, the cornea is the first lens it hits – and it's here that most of light-bending (refraction) occurs in order to focus the light onto the retina at the rear of the eye. However, if the cornea has an irregular curve, it results in conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia).What Hill and colleagues propose is instead working with the composition of the cornea to reshape the dome without removing any material from it. Made primarily of collagen, the cornea maintains its shape thanks to the arrangement of charged molecules and proteins. The researchers discovered that by applying a low-level electrical current through a specially designed platinum “contact lens” electrode, they could change the pH of the tissue, increasing the acidity of the corneal tissue, which would make it pliable just long enough to reshape – like fitting something into a mold. In this case, the mold is the platinum lens.Then, once the current stops and the pH returns to normal, the cornea hardens again and holds its mold-fitted shape. The whole process takes about a minute, requires no cutting or removal of tissue, and, so far, has shown no structural damage or cell death in the tested samples. 7: Guld i Øjethttps://www.sciencealert.com/gold-injections-in-the-eye-may-be-the-future-of-vision-preservationThe macula is responsible for the central, high-resolution, color vision that is possible in good light. This kind of vision is impaired if the macula is damaged, as in macular degeneration (AMD). AMD: Sygdommen ødelægger de celler i nethinden, der opfanger lys, og gør det svært at se skarpt. 20-30 procent af befolkningen over 70 år får denne sygdom.Biomedical engineer Jiarui Nie, from Brown University in Rhode Island:This is a new type of retinal prosthesis that has the potential to restore vision lost to retinal degeneration without requiring any kind of complicated surgery or genetic modification. We believe this technique could potentially transform treatment paradigms for retinal degenerative conditions.How: very fine gold nanoparticles, thousands of times thinner than a human hair, are laced with antibodies to target specific eye cells. They're then injected into the gel-filled vitreous chamber between the retina and the lens. Next, a small infrared laser device is used to excite these nanoparticles and activate specific cells in the same way photoreceptors do. If the treatment makes it to us humans as well, that laser could be embedded in a pair of glasses.So far it looks like the nanoparticles could help bypass damaged photoreceptors (in Mice).Dette er endnu ikke blevet testet på mennesker8: En microchip i Øjethttps://videnskab.dk/krop-sundhed/lille-traadloes-chip-i-oejet-kan-potentielt-genskabe-synet-hos-aeldre-med-oejensygdom/En anden behandling af AMD.En trådløs chip kan måske give ældre mennesker med fremskreden øjensygdom noget af synet tilbage.Opfindelsen bygger på en ny teknologi kaldet PRIMA-systemet, der består af to dele: Første del er en fleksibel, trådløs chip på 2×2 millimeter, som erstatter de ødelagte sanseceller. Den anden del er et par specielle briller, der opfanger billeder og sender dem som usynligt infrarødt lys til chippen, der omdanner signalerne til elektriske impulser, som sendes videre til hjernen.Forskerne forventer ikke at kunne genskabe helt normalt syn med chippen alene, men de arbejder videre på at forbedre livskvaliteten for patienterne. »Jeg tror ikke, vi nogensinde vil kunne genskabe fuldt 20/20-syn (normal synsstyrke, red.) med implantatet alene [...], men et af de største ønsker, vi hører fra patienter, er at kunne genkende ansigter og følelser igen - og det arbejder vi hen mod,« siger han i pressemeddelesen. Indtil videre er chippen kun godkendt til forskningsbrug, men firmaet Science Corporation har ansøgt om godkendelse til klinisk brug i Europa.Der er allerede forsøg med mennesker. 38 deltagere over 60 år på 17 klinikker i fem europæiske lande. Efter et års brug af systemet havde 26 ud af 32 deltagere, der gennemførte hele forløbet, opnået tydelige forbedringer i synet.

The late historian David Mccullough is very much missed, but the new book “History Matters,” posthumously published this fall, helps us remember why history is so important for all of us and is under threat. Especially now, given the current scrutiny how the Smithsonian Museum and our National Parks are telling American history. “History Matters” is a collection of Mccullough's essays that address the importance of history especially our shared history as Americans. Many of the essays have never been published, the collection includes a foreword by Jon Meacham, the book is edited by McCullough's daughter Dorie Mccullough Lawson, and his longtime researcher Michael Hill.

A possible sign of the economic recovery with Michael Hill's New Zealand operation reporting its first positive result in more than two years. In the six months to December the jeweller made $62 million worth of sales, increasing by 2.4%. First Retail Group Managing Director Chris Wilkinson says jewellery's a good sign of discretionary spending and consumer confidence. He told Mike Hosking there are also positive economic signs elsewhere. Wilkinson says there's a lot of benefits in areas where these large projects are taking place and provinces are doing well, with agriculture also strong.

A nod to Dunedin. The place of my birth and a bunch of fairly happy years in the early part of my radio career. We were back last month for the graduation of a daughter, now plying her trade in the medical profession. Everything about it was awesome. It is what every city in this country should aspire to. Christchurch has, rightly, got a lot of headlines for doing things well. And Dunedin is not Christchurch. It has not been rebuilt or re-imagined and many bits of it are the same as when I worked there 30 years ago. But a lot of bits are better. The Ebb hotel is brilliant. It's perfectly placed and you walk everywhere. Perhaps most importantly, everywhere we went, and I mean everywhere, people were friendly. Not just friendly, but inquiring and helpful. Not a shop was entered where we got anything but help and interest and advice and service. It was like New Zealand used to be, or that's the way it seemed when you live in Auckland. From restaurants to cafes, to an art gallery, to hotels and bars and rental car operators, every single interaction delivered. I honestly cannot remember the last time that happened. I asked my daughter whether she would miss it. She said six years was plenty, so maybe living and visiting is different. Mind you, the lady at Michael Hill said she had moved from Auckland and would never be back. The airport is still too far from town. They built it with a vision, ironically, that the city would spread across the Taieri. It didn't, well not enough, and I think we can conclude it never will. It was sunny that weekend and 23 degrees and everyone told us how unusual all that was. So maybe we got lucky – good weather, nice hotel, we bought three paintings, plane arrived and took off on time, daughter won some prizes so we were full of pride, food was good and service was professional and friendly. So maybe we were lucky. Or just maybe, Dunedin rocks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

​​Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2026Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell sits down with Michael Hill, CEO of H&A Farms, a vertically integrated operation in Florida that has transformed the blueberry supply chain. Starting as a fourth-generation farmer with a single employee, Michael now leads the business responsible for packing 40% of Florida's blueberry crop while running thriving agritourism and processing divisions.Michael opens up about the pressures of scaling, surviving pandemic-era uncertainty, finding—and keeping—the right people, and the mindset it takes to grow, diversify, and lead through chaos. His story is a lesson in intentionality, delegation, resilience, and never forgetting the value of your name.Key Takeaways:1. Leadership Starts With Your Word: Intentional leaders don't just tell others what to do—they hold themselves accountable first. Michael reminds us that the most dangerous promises to break are the ones we make to ourselves.2. Delegation Is a Skill — Not a Surrender: From running everything himself in year one to scaling to over 2,000 seasonal workers, Michael learned the hard way that growth depends on your ability to trust others, define responsibility, and let go of control.3. Crisis Reveals Character: During COVID, 98% of Michael's sales evaporated overnight. Instead of shutting down and causing market collapse, he held the line, protected his growers, and managed an unprecedented backlog until demand returned.4. Culture Evolves — But It Must Be Protected: Michael's business outgrew its early “everyone does everything” startup DNA. To evolve, he had to install structures, set standards, and protect culture by removing mediocre players who couldn't or wouldn't keep up.5. Seasonal Ag Labor Is Not for the Faint of Heart: Managing hundreds of local workers and 1,800 H2A harvesters in a seven-week window requires systems, communication, and acceptance that during peak season, work takes over life. Not everyone is built for that kind of leadership—and that's okay.Notable Quotes:“You die with one thing in this world — your name.” – Michael Hill“If I believe I can bet on myself, is it really a risk?” – Michael Hill“Winners want to be around other winners. The mediocre don't.” – Michael Hill“You can't just delegate — you have to put the right people in the right seats.” – Michael Hill“Still being here? That's the win.” – Michael HillAction Steps:Create your own Delegate-to-Elevate grid and get honest about what needs to go.Assess your team: Who's a fit for the mission? Who's just along for the ride?Consider crisis planning: What would you do if 98% of demand stopped overnight?Make one visible choice this week that protects your integrity and leadership reputation.Listen If You Are:Building or scaling an agribusiness from scratchStruggling to delegate or develop leaders around youCurious about blueberries, packing, and agritourism at scaleLeading teams with seasonal or H2A laborLooking for real-world stories of grit, growth, and intentional leadership

The mathematical area of topology is all about figuring out what truly defines a shape. Famously, topologists consider a coffee cup to be the same as a doughnut because one can be turned into the other without cutting or gluing — what defines and relates these two shapes for a topologist is that they have a single hole. As you might imagine, if you have ever tried to drink coffee out of a doughnut, topology has traditionally been part of pure mathematics. Topological data analysis (TDA), however, opens up a world of applications by applying ideas from topology to vast data sets, helping us to understand their "shape" and draw out important features. In this episode of Maths on the Move we talk to algebraic topologist Michael Hill about some of the fascinating uses of topological data analysis — from understanding breast cancer to making sure that voting is fair. We talked to Michael after he gave a brilliant Rothschild lecture at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) in Cambridge. He was at the INI to attend the research programme Equivariant homotopy theory in context. To find out more about the topics mentioned in this podcast see: Maths in a minute: Topology — a quick introduction to topology. Understanding life with topology — a quick introduction to TDA and some of its uses.

We sit down with a delegation of Irish curators—Michele Horrigan (Askeaton Contemporary Arts), Michael Hill (Temple Bar Gallery + Studios), and Mark O'Gorman (The Complex)—to unpack what it means to build artist-centered institutions on an island without a commercial art market. From weather-worn banana warehouses to smoke-machine-filled nightclubs, these curators share space-making tactics, post-colonial entanglements, and the challenges of caring for artists without selling to collectors. They're in Chicago for EXPO and bringing the heat—with nothing but friendship, found neon, and deeply site-responsive shows.

This past month, Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols announced the creation of the Greenwood Trust, a $105 million private fund dedicated to repairing and restoring the Greenwood District—site of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. In an address rich with history and a call for shared courage, Nichols described the fund as the city's next step in righting past wrongs and investing in a more just and equitable future. Let's listen to this historic moment.A young man locked up for a minor probation violation is dead—his body battered and his family left in the dark.

Jeremy Kuzmarov has details.In the conclusion of our broadcast of Tribal Justice: The struggle for Black Rights on Native Land (full story can be found on Audible.com), we hear about Michael Hill, a Cherokee Freedmen who was arrested by the Okmulgee Police in the fall of 2020. He fought to have his case transferred to tribal court because he's an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. After all, this was right after the McGirt decision which returned criminal jurisdiction to tribal nations in Oklahoma when they involve Native people-like Michael. But Michael's case was complicated-because of his status as a Black man with no blood quantum, his case did not qualify to be transferred. In this series, we've been exploring how centuries old laws have impacted people like Michael, and his brother Mikail, who was murdered in 2016. His case was transferred out of state court even though, like Michael, he is an enrolled Cherokee Freedmen.
