Is Ignorance Bliss?
Apple, Illusion, and LDS Impact
1 Corinthians 13
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

One of the key motifs of Through the Looking-Glass is that of mirrors, including the use of opposites, time running backwards, and so on, not to mention the title of the book itself.
In fact, the themes and settings of the book make it somewhat of a mirror image to its predecessor, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865).
The first book begins in the warm outdoors, on 4 May; uses frequent changes in size as a plot device; and draws on the imagery of playing cards.
The second book, however, opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on 4 November (the day before Guy Fawkes Night); uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device; and draws on the imagery of chess.
The event proved a milestone in the war. Within six weeks, more than a year before formally entering the conflict, the United States started the famous MIT Radiation Laboratory to develop microwave radar systems based on the magnetron. The nation’s top physicists—10 future Nobel laureates in a lab that employed nearly 4,000 workers by war’s end—accepted the challenge.
Ground radars such as the SCR-584 in 1942 immensely threatened the German operations. Many of the scientists including Albert Eintein later went on to work on the atomic bomb, but few afterward doubted which project was more important to the war. Indeed many believed that the radar was the most important thing for winning the war although it was bought to an end by the "bomb".
From the late 1920s through the 1930s Loomis and renowned scientists performed good research at Tuxedo Park. Besides working with Wood on ultrasonics; he co-laborated with George Kistiakowski on spectroscopy; and with E. Newton Harvey on electrical signals in the brain and heart.
He invented the artillery chronograph to better measure the speed of artillery shells, practically invented the EEG, investigated precision time keeping, and concieved of and patented the LORAN system (Long Range Aid to Navigation) of navigation transmitters, receivers, and high precision clocks. He was instrumental in helping E.O. Lawrence obtain funding to build the big cyclotron at Berkeley, and even maintained an office in Lawrence's Berkeley Lab for a time.
Loomis authored and co-authored 29 scientific papers between 1927 and 1939, all with established scientists; the papers were published in leading journals. He also obtained two patents during this period. When projects he worked on led to series of papers, his name usually appeared only on the first. He did not participate in all the projects carried out at the lab.
He (Vannevar Bush) joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1919, and founded the company now known as Raytheon in 1922. Starting in 1927, Bush constructed a differential analyzer, an analog computer with some digital components that could solve differential equations with as many as 18 independent variables. An offshoot of the work at MIT by Bush and others was the beginning of digital circuit design theory.

The Relief Society General Presidency is called to lead the Relief Society, the Church’s organization for women, which has millions of members worldwide. The presidency is composed of a president, who is called by the President of the Church, and two counselors. These three women travel around the world to visit, teach, and minister to the women of the Church. They also counsel with other general Church leaders to strengthen the women of the Church and their families.
The Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized by Joseph Smith, the Church’s first President, in 1842. He called it “a select Society separate from all the evils of the world, choice, virtuous, and holy”1. He also taught that the purpose of the Relief Society was “not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls.”
Sister Yee’s artistic skills and focus led her to a position as an artist and producer at Disney Interactive Studios, where she worked for 13 years. Currently, she manages the Church’s animation team.
Yet ah why should they know their fate
When sorrow never comes too late
And happiness too swiftly flies
Thought would destroy their Paradise
No more, where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise.
