The Carrot is an economically important horticultural crop that has gained popularity since World War Two due to increased awareness of its nutritional value and versatility. Orange carrots are highly revered as good for the eyes due to their high content of hydrocarbon carotenoids, a class of phytochemicals that are often precursors to vitamin A. α- and β-Carotene predominate in orange carrots.
During the 6 years of World War Two the UK Ministry of Food did its best to drum up enthusiasm for carrots as a substitute for rationed goods. Doctor Carrot, carrying a bag marked " Vit A", was prominently featured on pages of recipe books and extensive advertising campaigns in the press, cinema and on the radio.
World War Two revived the popularity of the carrot and gave it a rightful place in the kitchen, elevated to a new high as a major food and nutritional source.
Carrots also played a small part in winning the air battle. Famously, the UK Government's Food Ministry responded to a temporary wartime oversupply of carrots by suggesting, through propaganda, that the RAF's exceptional night-flying and target success, was due to eating high carotene content carrots. The message worked and consumption of carrots increased sharply because people thought carrots might help them see better in the blackout, thus taking the pressure off other food supplies.
Summary explanation -
This is a very complex and convoluted subject, often over simplified by the media to create a compelling headline. The clue to unravel this issue is the timing of two separate but intertwined events.
"Carrots Help you See in the Dark" was a popular saying at the time and people eagerly digested carrots, believing this would help them to see more clearly in the blackout. This certainly helped reduce the surplus vegetables but also played a part in helping to mask the chief reason for the RAF's success in night time air battles - the increasing power of radar and the secret introduction of an airborne version of the system. It is true that the consumption of carrots does help to keep your eyes healthy and if you are otherwise deficient in Vitamin A, will help you see better in the dark, by restoring that function to peak performance, by defeating night blindness (the medical condition Nyctalopia).
So, if you don't get enough carotene or Vitamin A in your diet, eventually you will suffer problems in your vision. This was the basis of the "myth" started by the Food Ministry. Carrots cannot improve your eyesight, they can help maintain eye health. Even Dr. Carrot was depicted wearing glasses.
Carrots helped win World War Two in the air!
The carrot "myth", which is not! - It is said that UK World War Two pilots were fed excessive amounts of high carotene carrots to help them see better in the dark and therefore spot, and shoot down enemy airplanes quicker. Famously, the UK Government's Food Ministry responded to a temporary wartime oversupply of carrots by suggesting that the RAF's exceptional night-flying success was due to consuming more carotene, via carrots. The suggestion worked and the consumption of carrots increased sharply because people thought carrots might help them see in the blackout, thus taking the pressure off other food supplies.
At one point in the early 40's there was a glut of carrots, and the Government let it be known that carotene, helps maintain (or restore) night vision, was largely responsible for the RAF's increasing success in shooting down enemy bombers. People eagerly tucked in to carrots, believing this would also help them to see more clearly in the blackout. This campaign not only reduced the surplus vegetables but also helped, in a small way, to mask the chief reason for the RAF's success - the increasing power of radar and the secret introduction of an airborne version of the system.
The slogan "Carrots keep you healthy and help you see in the blackout" was used extensively. Advert (right) from the UK Times, 6 February,1942.
The truth is that whilst the British Air Ministry were happy to go along with the story of carrot-improved vision, they never set out to use it to fool the Germans. Here is what the RAF Museum in London has to say on the See in the Dark Campaign -
In the US the Popular Science magazine reported in May 1942 thus:(extract, full version available here - Popular Science archives)
- By 1939, UK had radar stations all round the south coast of the UK
There is very little hard evidence for this propaganda exercise, but it is fairly clear it did take place. For example in the book "The Fear in the Sky: Vivid Memories of Bomber Aircrew in World War Two" by Pat Cunningham, he said:
"One extracurricular activity this time around at Yatesbury involved the disinformation that night-fighter pilots were fed on carrots to improve their night vision. This, of course, was aimed at covering up the fact that the RAF possessed radar. Whether the authorities had begun to believe their own propaganda, I couldn't say, but the Yatesbury intakes were used as guinea pigs. Our class was fed carrots until we were sick of them, whereas other classes had none. But although it went on for some weeks I never heard that anything came out of it one way or another."
How the myth became confused, although it has some truth behind it - For the record, carrots CAN help you see better in the dark. Carrots are good for your eye health (not eyesight) and in one area can be a cure for night blindness! if you are otherwise deficient in Vitamin A.
There is a connection between carotene and sight. Maybe the mechanism wasn't known at the time but it is now. Carrots have high carotene which the body makes into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is converted to 11-cis-Retinal which is a visual pigment in the eyes. When visible light "hits" this pigment it is converted to all-trans-Retinal which is used in a neuronal signal to the brain (sight).
Night blindness (nyctalopia) is the inability to see well at night or in poor light. It is not a disorder in itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying disorder or problem. It can have several causes and Vitamin A deficiency is one of them. It is rare in Western society, that does not mean it does not exist. The consumption of carrots in such circumstances will help cure the symptom and help the sufferer see better in the dark, by restoring night vision to its normal level.
In 1940 experiments with high carotene varieties
were conducted to reduce night blindness in World War II pilots. These high
carotene roots were very dry. With the advent of synthetically manufactured
carotene, cultivation of these varieties ceased in 1947. In World War II,
Britain's Air Ministry spread the word that a diet of carrots helped pilots
see German bombers attacking at night. That was mis-information intended to cover the real
matter of what was underpinning the Royal Air Force's successes: the latest,
highly efficient on board, Airborne Interception Radar, also known as AIR. The
secret new system pinpointed some enemy bombers before they reached the English
It is true they can help you see better in the dark, BUT can only improve your night vision, by defeating night blindness if you are otherwise deficient in Vitamin A. When you eat carrots, the beta-carotene is transformed into retinol or vitamin Carrots are high in Vitamin A, and a deficiency in this nutrient can cause some difficulty seeing in dim light. Vitamin A is essential for the formation of the chemical retinal, whose presence in the retina is necessary for vision. Our eyes have two kinds of light sensitive cells: the rods and the cones. The rods are the cells we rely on to see in dim light.
They are sensitive to Vitamin A deficiency, because it can cause a shortage of retinal. The retina is the light-sensing part of the eye that holds the rods and cones, which contain enzymes that absorb light and allow us to see. When light strikes the retinal molecule, it changes its shape. This activates a cascade of chemical reactions that informs the brain that light has entered the eye. When the levels of light sensitive molecules are low, due to Vitamin A deficiency, there will not be enough retinal to detect the light at night. During the day there is enough light to produce vision, despite low levels of retinal.
So it's only night vision that can be improved by eating carrots. The rods provide black and white vision and respond in dim light while the cones provide colour vision and respond to bright light. Vitamin A helps the retina tell black from white and provides for colour vision. It also helps us see in dim light or at night. When you go into a darkened theatre after being out in the bright light, your eyes are able to adapt because of the vitamin A that you have stored in your body.
So really the answer is they do help you see in the dark, but can only improve your night vision if you are deficient in Vitamin A. All that the correct level of Vitamin A in the body can do, is restore night vision to peak performance and defeat night blindness.
The Food Ministry's campaign was so persuasive to the extent that the British public started growing and eating more carrots, so that they could find they way around easier at night during the blackouts that were compulsory during WW II.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children." In fact, WHO estimates that 250 million young children, and an unknown but substantial number of pregnant women, are vitamin A deficient worldwide. Read more on the Vitamin A page.
How the "myth" became misunderstood - It is pretty clear that beta carotene is good for eye health and easily available from carrots. Carrots are of course not the only source of Vitamin A. There is a difference between eye sight and eye health.
Eye Sight is about visual acuity and whether a person can see everything, near and far, in sharp focus. Poor eye sight is often a physical trait. Once Night blindness is cured you can see better in the dark. Items will be not better focussed as that is a function of good eyesight.
Eye Health -. It is possible to have good eye health yet poor vision. Less likely to have poor eye health and good eye sight.
As many UK citizens were not deficient in Vitamin A, the higher consumption made no difference they claimed that is was a myth promoted by the government to convince the to eat more carrots. All that the correct level of Vitamin A in the body can do, is restore night vision to peak performance.

Transcript of an actual "Kitchen Front" radio broadcast script (pdf) which addresses night blindness here.
|Report from US Time Magazine 22 December 1941:
The R.A.F. may soon be eating Arizona carrots in preference to all other carrots on earth. The British Ministry of Foods last week impatiently cabled to University of Arizona Nutrition Chemist Margaret Cammack Smith for more details on her discovery that "Arizona carrots contain three to ten times as much carotene as the average carrot" - a discovery, said the Ministry, "of extreme interest and value." Reason: carotene, a yellow pigment occurring in association with chlorophyll in green plants, is transformed by the body (probably the liver) into vitamin A, which insures optimum human night vision.

I have yet to meet a person who doesn't have some secret fantasy of being a surfer (current surfers excluded, of course). Maybe it's because of the connection to the wave. Or possibly because of the rush that gliding over the water at lightening speed can give. Or maybe it's because surfers never have problems getting dates. Whatever your reason, surfing has its appeal.
In this latest Huffington Post from Liz Markus, surfer, yogi, and meditator Eoin Finn is interviewed about his upcoming yoga DVD, The Blissology Project: Yoga, Meditation and Lifestyle. According to Finn, meditation (in addition to Tai Chi and yoga) gets a person in touch with transcendent energy, which is the ultimate energy source.
And all that comes back to Joseph Campbell. He lit me up for this stuff right when I was deciding what courses to take. His message is that the ultimate energy source in life is transcendent energy. All you have to do is quiet your mind and get in touch with this energy source, and you will get there. That really spoke to me. I learned meditation, tai chi and yoga. I would never say I was a serious student of any of them. I was barely serious in school at all because I was really addicted to windsurfing. So my first three months of school, I didn't even rent an apartment. I said, "I'm not paying rent. I'm gonna pay tent." I bought a tent, and I would just wake up on the beach every morning and do my thing and then go into it.

The price is usually right on DVD two-fers, and this week Sony is bringing out a pairof Bill Haley musicals (also two Chubby Checkers) for $20 each. Sony also recently brought out a pair of Dean Martin comedies on a single disc. Here's a look at two-fers from the past that are good bargains:
Rhythm on the Range + Rhythm on the River
Bing Crosby recorded so many cowboy songs that there's even a British CD devoted to them. One of the hits was I'm an Old Cowhand, which Bing sings in Range with an ensemble for the ages that includes Louis Prima, Roy Rogers and Frances Farmer. River, which co-stars Mary Martin and Oscar Levant, features Bing's obscure but infectious title tune, given a great Dixieland rendering.
The Trip + Psych-Out
In the first, scripted by Jack Nicholson and directed by Roger Corman, Peter Fonda "feels the energy" of an orange. Co-stars Susan Strasberg and Bruce Dern also are in Psych-Out, casting Nicholson as the head of a Haight-Ashbury band. You also get Dean Stockwell in a headband and a score with Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow.
New today
Robert Bresson's Mouchette; Robert Mitchum in Angel Face; Jesus Camp; Maggie Gyllenhaal in Sherrybaby
Who Was That Lady + How to Save a Marriage (and Ruin Your Life)
Marriage is labored, with queasy undertones about office sexual harassment. At the time, the press reported that the star clashed with director Fielder Cook, referring to him as "the guy with two last names." Lady, though, has its moments, as Dino claims to be an FBI agent to help pal Tony Curtis out of a marital scrape with Janet Leigh.

-In 1945 the war ended. The Germans surrendered, and the ghetto was liberated. Out of over a quarter of a million people, about 800 walked out of the ghetto. Of those who survived, only twelve were children. I was one of the twelve.- For more than fifty years after the war, Syvia, like many Holocaust survivors, did not talk about her experiences in the Lodz ghetto in Poland. She buried her past in order to move forward. But finally she decided it was time to share her story, and so she told it to her niece, who has re-told it here using free verse inspired by her aunt. This is the true story of Syvia Perlmutter--a story of courage, heartbreak, and finally survival despite the terrible circumstances in which she grew up. A timeline, historical notes, and an author's note are included.

Gaviao Vacation Packages
Lisbon, the national capital, is situated 85 miles (137 kilometers) southwest of Gaviao.
To find out why so many travelers keep choosing Alentejo as a vacation spot, ensure you and your family spend a while longer in the wider region. While here, consider a trip to the Abrantes Castle and Belver Castle in Abrantes, about 14 miles (23 kilometers) to the east of Gaviao.
Organize some transport and spend half a day in Tomar, a transport and retail hub for the area, located approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers) away from Gaviao. This regional center offers a wide range of attractions, for example Sao Joao Baptista, Praca da Republica and Quinta do Falcao Bullring. Ensure you don't return to Gaviao until you've stopped by Tomar's Church of San Pedro de Tomar and Museu Luso-Hebraico Abraham Zacuto.
Uncover the region's rich cultural tapestry within Alentejo's great history museums, art museums and theaters. A great way to learn about a place and its people is by understanding its history. While here, be sure to drop into the area's fine ruins.
If you are searching for a special way to enjoy the Alentejo area, try hot air ballooning. Finding one of the culinary tours and guided nature walks is an interesting way to get an understanding of Alentejo.
Everything must end sometime, but be rest assured, when it's time to leave Gaviao, you'll have many wonderful memories to take with you.

Though pitching a tent on a soccer field, donning a clown nose, and hurling circus peanuts through flaming tires may attract a crowd, taking a trapeze class is the only way to relive the circus on a regular basis. Prolong the magic with today's Groupon: for $35, you get one trapeze class from Trapeze School New York on Santa Monica Pier (up to a $79 value). This Groupon is only good for classes Monday through Friday and cannot be redeemed during June, July, or August. This Groupon's value includes a one-time $22 registration fee.
The professional danglers at Trapeze School New York transform landlocked humans into airborne backflippers with a unique and fun form of fitness that helps conquer the fear of heights, instill self-confidence, and improve team-building skills. With class options fit for all skill levels, experienced instructors teach prospective body pilots ages 6 and up learn how to work dormant muscles and laugh in gravity's smug, scientific face in a fun and secure environment. Experience the flying-trapeze class, a two-hour course that will train students how to swing from a wildly pendulating bar by their knees before gracefully landing on a soft net.
Trapeze School New York has been featured in a variety of press. KCOP 13 featured the Los Angeles location, and more than 20 Yelpers give it a five-star average.
- The instructors were funny, professional, and encouraging. I never would have dreamed that I would have learned so much or had that much fun. – Amy B., Yelp, 1/31/11
- it's really a once in a lifetime kind of thing that not a lot of people do. I highly recommend it! – Kaitlin H., Yelp, 12/1/10

IBM Announces Carbon Nanotube Research Breakthrough: Why It's A Big Deal
- IBM announced a research breakthrough in carbon nanotube electronics for post-silicon electronics.
- Carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising replacements for silicon and could keep electronics and computing on Moore's Law.
- IBM needs new computer systems that stay on Moore's Law of exponentially increasing performance to support its push to next-generation applications.
- The research breakthrough brings IBM a step closer to ultra-high performance carbon nanotube technology within the decade.
- IBM and Intel are the two companies that are doing more to push the miniaturization and performance of computer chips to new heights.
IBM (NYSE:IBM) announced a research breakthrough that could soon permit replacing silicon transistors with carbon nanotubes in future high-performance electronic chips.
Carbon nanotubes consist of single atomic sheets of carbon rolled up into a tube. The carbon nanotubes form the core of a transistor device whose superior electrical properties promise several generations of technology scaling beyond the physical limits of silicon. The IBM researchers developed a fabrication process that permits overcoming previous obstacles in nanotube electronics manufacturing.
"These chip innovations are necessary to meet the emerging demands of cloud computing, Internet of Things and Big Data systems," said Dario Gil, vice president of Science & Technology at IBM Research. "As silicon technology nears its physical limits, new materials, devices and circuit architectures must be ready to deliver the advanced technologies that will be required by the Cognitive Computing era. This breakthrough shows that computer chips made of carbon nanotubes will be able to power systems of the future sooner than the industry expected."
In fact, IBM is betting on next-generation applications that need ultra-powerful computers. In particular, IBM is betting big on the coming era of cognitive computing - computer systems that understand the world in the way that humans do. As recently reported by Amigobulls, IBM is expanding its Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform Watson, with new Application Programming Interfaces (API) for cognitive computing. The planned applications of cognitive computing, which include machine learning, computer vision, and natural language understanding, are very computationally demanding and will need very high performance computer systems both on premise and in the cloud.
Gil added that the research breakthrough brings IBM a step closer to the goal of a carbon nanotube technology within the decade.
Seeking Alpha notes that the development could start a new phase of growth for IBM. In fact, the possible use of carbon nanotubes to shrink transistor size is urgently needed to keep electronics on Moore's Law.
Originally stated by Intel Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) founder Gordon Moore in 1965, Moore's Law is the observation that the density of electronic chips, and consequently the performance of computing devices, doubles every two years, but advances in chip development have slowed recently and the current trend is toward a longer doubling period according to many industry experts. But carbon nanotube technology could open a new, post-silicon phase of development for electronic circuits, which could that stay on Moore's Law. The IBM press release notes that their new approach could scale all the way to the 1.8 nanometer transistor – four technology generations away from the 14 nanometer of today's technology.
"It's a major step towards having reassurance that we'll have semiconductors working beyond the limits of silicon," said Richard Doherty, the director of technology consulting firm Envisioneering, as reported by Wired. "Moore's Law can continue on."
Fortune notes that the foundation of our information economy is built on Moore's Law, but its progress threatens to slow down because we are reaching the physical limits of manufacturing ultra-dense chips. That's one reason IBM is spending $3 billion on basic semiconductor research, and the new result is a crucial step that could lead to more efficient post-silicon electronics.
"Carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising replacements for silicon in semiconductors," wrote Gil on a IBM research blog. "That's because they can be used to build incredibly tiny devices and they use less power to switch the state of transistors - which is how we create the ones and zeros essential for digital computing."
Of course, IBM is not alone in the quest to keep electronics and computing on Moore's Law, nor are carbon nanotubes the only promising technologies on the table. Intel plans to release 10 nanometer silicon chips over the next two years, and IBM previously announced that can build a chip from silicon and germanium whose smallest features are in the 7 nanometer range.
"Investors should take a vested interest in the progress of tech giants like Intel and IBM in bringing Moore's Law back into balance," concludes Seeking Alpha. In fact, IBM and Intel are the two companies that are doing more to push the miniaturization and performance of computer chips to new heights - with a primary focus on research and manufacturing, respectively - and the stocks of both companies are likely to reflect that in the mid term.

Spammers in developing countries like the Phillippines, India, Pakistan and Egypt, among others, are known for operating "click farms". These click farms create fraudulent likes that make advertising on Facebook useless. Click farms are banned by Facebook and if one who manages a Page to get Likes deliberately uses them, themselves, they will — like hundreds of thousands before them — find their accounts suspended.
These spammers, however, have been known to cover their tracks by clicking the Like button on anything on Facebook.
Derek Muller's Veritasium, a weekly podcast, that airs on YouTube has come forth boldly and clearly with his assertions.
Advertising to promote your Page on Facebook may very well be a waste of money. Derek Muller got 80,000 Likes (that Facebook won't eradicate) but not the adjoining upturn in engagement with his post.
Being on a small percent of the newsfeeds of your followers, unless the interest/response rate is high, is the usual Facebook policy. These fraudulent practices aid and abet Facebook as the next step is to dole out more money to Facebook in a useless pursuit to reach followers.
Facebook must do some major overhauling in how things are done to be wholly trusted to do business with, and they know it.
