Opposite her, above the crowded mantelpiece and surmounted by a raffia wreath, the enlarged-crayon gaze of her deceased maternal grandparent, abetted by a horrible device of photography, followed her, his eyes focusing the entire room at a glance.
Rip blinked as he stared out into space to where Koa was pointing. He had trouble focusing his eyes at first, and then he saw the glow of the cruiser. "Good," he said. "They’ll send a landing boat first thing." "I hope so," Koa replied. Rip wanted to ask why the big Planeteer doubted, but he was too tired to phrase the question. He contented himself with watching the cruiser.
"You, Larange, take 'em back to the picket line, will you?" The Texan's hands closed about Drew's upper arms just below the arch of his shoulders, steered him on, and then pressed him down into the limited range of the fire's heat. From somewhere a tin plate materialized, and was in Drew's hold. He regarded its contents with eyes which had trouble focusing.
Fourth, we must assure our pre-eminence in the peaceful exploration of outer space, focusing on an expedition to the moon in this decade in cooperation with other powers if possible, alone if necessary. Fifth, we must expand world trade. Having recognized in the Act of 1962 that we must buy as well as sell, we now expect our trading partners to recognize that we must sell as well as buy.
If one were to attempt to give in order the steps of the process involved, they might be stated as follows: establishing a motive for forming the habit; knowing exactly what we wish to do, or the habit or skill to be acquired; recognition of the importance of the focusing of attention during the period devoted to repetitions; variation in practice in order to lessen fatigue and to help to fix attention; a recognition of the danger of making mistakes, with consequent provision against lapses; the principle of review, which may be stated best by suggesting that the period between practice exercises may only gradually be lengthened.
Sometimes a bottle was too great a temptation to be resisted, and one would stand timidly like a bird with wings half spread, only to dash away as though the devil were after him, when he saw my head disappear beneath the focusing hood. Wu and a mafu who could speak a little Tibetan finally captured one picturesque looking fellow.
Her mouth had shut and her cheeks were without curves, following the triangular corpse-like lines of her skull. Her lips, like bits of vermilion paper, stared as from an idol's face. She was regarding Dorn with a smile. He had grown erratic in his gestures. His eyes seemed incapable of focusing themselves. They darted about the room, running away from him.
In order to speak wisely you must secure at least a partial concentration of the faculties and forces upon the subject at hand. Speech interferes with the focusing powers of the mind, as it withdraws the attention to the external and therefore is hardly to be compared with that deep silence of the subconscious mind, where deep thoughts, and the silent forces of high potency are evolved.
Clinton J. Davisson and Lester H. Germer of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, New York City, who found that the electron had a dual personality partaking of the characteristic of both a particle and a wave. The wave quality gave the electron the characteristic of light, and a search was begun to devise means for 'focusing' electrons in a manner similar to the focusing of light by means of a lens.
A long-sighted, or hypermetropic, eye is one which can focus light from distant objects, but not from near objects. These defects in focusing are remedied by wearing glasses with lenses so shaped as to counteract them. Short-sightedness is corrected by concave lenses and long-sightedness by convex lenses, as shown in diagrams above. Astigmatism is another defect in the focusing power of the eye.
