A dazzler is a non- lethal weapon which uses intense directed radiation to temporarily disorient its target with flash blindness. They can effectively deter further advances, regardless of language or cultural barriers, but can also be used for hailing and warning. [1] Targets can include electronic sensors as well as human vision.
A laser weapon [2] is a type of directed-energy weapon that uses lasers to inflict damage. Whether they will be deployed as practical, high-performance military weapons remains to be seen. [3] [4] One of the major issues with laser weapons is atmospheric thermal blooming, which is still largely unsolved.
Dazer Lasers use a "GreenStar Laser" (US Patent and Trademark Office provisional patent application no. 61/348,312), which is a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS), 532 nm (green), Class IIIb laser that produces maximum power of over 750 mW without having to increase the same laser's size.
Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle (in the U.S.) or dazzle painting, is a family of ship camouflage that was used extensively in World War I, and to a lesser extent in World War II and afterwards. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson, though with a rejected prior claim by the zoologist John Graham Kerr, it ...
A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire. It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction made in a thin zone. [1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density, they are then considered plasma. [vague] [2]
Pine green is a rich dark shade of cyan that resembles the color of pine trees. It is an official Crayola color (since 1903) that is this exact shade in the Crayola crayon, but in the markers, it is known as crocodile green. The color pine green is a representation of the average color of the leaves of the trees of a coniferous forest.

In Greece this rolled incense resin is called 'Moskolibano', and generally comes in either a pink or green colour denoting the fragrance, with pink being rose and green being jasmine. Burning incense. Indirect-burning incense is burned directly on top of a heat source or on a hot metal plate in a censer or thurible.
Kale is a good source (10–19% DV) of thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin E, and several dietary minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Boiling raw kale diminishes most of these nutrients, while values for vitamins A, C, and K and manganese remain substantial.
Lasers and aviation safety. Lasers are one of the main threats of aviation safety. Under certain conditions, laser light or other bright lights (spotlights, searchlights) directed at aircraft can be a hazard. The most likely scenario is when a bright visible laser light causes distraction or temporary flash blindness to a pilot, during a ...
