One solution to this problem has been demonstrated recently in a device based on an LCD which simulates the pupil size as a function of the ambient light. For decades, all efforts and investments to improve the appearance of artificial eyes have been dampened by the immobility of the pupil. Ocularist surgeons have always worked together to make artificial eyes look more realistic. In some countries, Germany especially, prostheses are still most commonly made from glass. In the United States, most custom ocular prostheses are fabricated using PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), or acrylic. Production of modern ocular prosthetics has expanded from simply using glass into many different types of materials. As a result, the US instead made artificial eyes from acrylic plastic. Shortly following the introduction of the art of glass eye-making to the United States, German goods became unavailable because of World War II. But the center shifted again, this time to Germany because of their superior glass blowing techniques. These were crude, uncomfortable, and fragile and the production methodology remained known only to Venetians until the end of the 18th century, when Parisians took over as the center for artificial eye-making. The first in-socket artificial eyes were made of gold with colored enamel, later evolving into the use of glass (thus the name "glass eye") by the Venetians in the later part of the sixteenth century. Roman and Egyptian priests are known to have produced artificial eyes as early as the fifth century BC constructed from painted clay attached to cloth and worn outside the socket. In addition to this, an early Hebrew text references a woman who wore an artificial eye made of gold. Since microscopic research has shown that the eye socket showed clear imprints of the golden thread, the eyeball must have been worn during her lifetime. On both sides of the eye are drilled tiny holes, through which a golden thread could hold the eyeball in place. The surface of the artificial eye is covered with a thin layer of gold, engraved with a central circle (representing the iris) and gold lines patterned like sun rays. It consists of very light material, probably bitumen paste. It has a hemispherical form and a diameter of just over 2.5 cm (1 inch). The earliest known evidence of the use of ocular prosthesis is that of a woman found in Shahr-I Sokhta, Iran dating back to 2900–2800 BC. Or any of Trump's town halls on Fox News back in 2016 according to Axios.Artificial glass eye being moulded under heat, 1938 However, the numbers were not as good as a 2016 town hall with Joe Biden that drew 3.4 million viewers. Approximately 3.3 million viewers tuned in to watch Trump call Kaitlan Collins a " nasty person," which was four-times the eyeballs CNN usually gets in the 8 p.m.
While Trump's CNN townhall did good numbers, it was not their best anything in 11 years. And there were plenty of other issues that led to him being fired in Central Park following an embarrassing profile in The Atlantic. In fact, ratings were down across the board at CNN. They fired him because he got great ratings."Ĭhris Licht was not fired because he got great ratings. "They fired the head of CNN and he had the highest rated show in 11 years. 7ksgnZhsXI- Justin Baragona June 27, 2023 Ratings under Licht were CNN's worst in nearly a decade, and the town hall wasn't their best show in 11 years. Trump says Chris Licht was fired from CNN "because he got great ratings" with the Trump town hall, adding that it was the best ratings they've had in 11 years. Trump started by saying he got Jeff Zucker his job at CNN, "but it took too long to fire him." He then started talking about his town hall, calling it a "ratings bonanza."
On Tuesday afternoon he spoke to the Federation of Republican Women in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was talking about The Apprentice, which turned into a rant about CNN. Donald Trump is speaking to any audience he can find at this point.
