	Modern History Sourcebook: Sir WilliamThomson (Lord Kelvin): Wave Theory Of Light, 1884
		Plane - polarised light is light with the vibrations all in a single plane, perpendicular to the plane through the ray which is technically called the "plane of polarisation." Circularly polarised light consists of undulations of luminiferous ether having a circular motion.
		Light is always polarised when it is reflected from a plate of unsilvered glass, or from water, at a certain definite angle of fifty - six degrees for glass, fifty - two degrees for water, the angle being reckoned in each case from a perpendicular to the surface.
		Light does go round a corner in these diffraction spectrums; and it is shown going round a corner, since it passes through these bars and is turned round an angle of thirty degrees.

	Seeing The Light - Kenosha Pierhead Lighthouse
		With work progressing on the new breakwater in 1900, the decision was made to erect a light on the southeastern end of the breakwater to serve as a front range to the beacon on the north pier.
		The north pier light was given a coat of red paint in 1917, and the characteristic of the light changed back to red, only this time it was converted to an occulting characteristic of a 2.5 second flash followed by 12.5 seconds of darkness.
		The 1906 breakwater light was removed from the breakwater in 1921, and replaced by a 37 foot tall red skeletal steel tower with its lower end enclosed, similar in design to that currently in existence on the Muskegon south breakwater.

		Operation Eagle Claw (or Operation Evening Light) was a United States military operation to rescue the 53 hostages from the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran on April 24, 1980.
		The operation was a failure, and had a severe impact on US President Jimmy Carter's re-election prospects; on a military level, it led to the creation of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (the Night Stalkers).
		The concept of USSOCOM was born and finally established; and placed into operation in the 1988-1989 time period.

		It began in the evening of April 24, 1980, when a supposedly elite US military force launched a bold but doomed attempt to rescue their fellow American citizens and their nation's honor from captivity in Tehran.
		The Air Force radio operator was one of the lucky few C-130 aircrew members to survive a ghastly collision and explosion between his aircraft and a helicopter on Iran’s Great Salt Desert.
		The aftermath of the rescue operation was a barrage of investigations, congressional hearings and, believe it or not, more planning and training for a follow-on rescue mission.
