Eager eyes on the snow show

Article Abstract:

The Albertville, France, Winter Olympics 1992 needed an internal telecommunications network, access to international telephone lines and broadcast networks, and electronic security coverage. Everything was portable or convertible. One hundred kilometres of fibre-optic cable and 25 satellite relays fed live coverage to studios for mixing and transmission via Telecom 2. An 8,000-line switchboard handled 200,000 calls a day. Pagers were essential. High-definition television was the new feature for the 1992 Olympics.

Here's looking at you, ol' vampire eyes

Article Abstract:

Some opticians are now making available FreshLook Colours, the first disposable coloured contact lenses in the UK. The lenses have tiny dots of a realistic iris-like pattern of colour, but can appear unnatural on some people. They appear a different colour according to the amount of light and the wearer's natural eye colour, and can sometimes be a very different colour from what the wearer expected.
