The 1980s was a time of many transitions and many firsts for the show. In 1980, the Dobsons were moved to ATWT, and replaced by Douglas Marland. Marland had written for such veteran soap writers as Agnes Nixon and Irna Phillips (the creator of The Guiding Light) and had written on his own, as well as acted on ATWT in the early 1970's. From January 1980 to June 1982 Marland, as head writer, decided he wanted to bring Guiding Light back to its roots and abide by the show's bible as Marland was fond of ...

Yog means union. Union with a supreme power which is the source of creation, perfection and destruction. Union with the supreme intellect and the guiding force behind the perfect mechanism of the universe. Yoga is merging oneself with this force that guides the human being to a state of total bliss. A human being is a small universe in itself. When the consciousness of this small universe unites with the energy prevailing in the vast canopy of the universe the union is complete and the light of wisdom starts flowing in the human body. The light contains everything a human needs to evolve. A human is a part of nature and constantly striving for perfection. This is the natural course of evolution because god is the personification of ultimate perfection.

The concept of the Inner Light is central to many versions of Quaker (or Religious Society of Friends) theology. It refers to God's presence within a person and to a direct and personal experience of God. Quakers believe that God speaks to everyone, but that in order to hear his voice, one must learn to be still and actively listen for it,--what Paul Lacout called a "silence which is active" [1]. They believe not only that individuals can be guided by this Inner Light, but that Friends should meet together and receive collective guida ...

Atticus Finch is one of the primary characters in the 1960 book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee . He represents morality and kindness. He defends Tom Robinson, a black man being tried for rape, because he feels that not doing so would make him a hypocrite. Atticus serves as a guiding light for his children, always calm and patient. He allows them to come to the understanding that, although evil exists, one should not dwell on that but should instead realize that the existence of this evil is a sign that there is work to do,

Armoured personnel carriers (APCs) are light armoured fighting vehicles for the transport of infantry. They usually have only a machine gun although variants carry recoilless rifles, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), or mortars. They are not really designed to take part in a direct-fire battle, but to carry the troops to the battlefield safe from shrapnel and ambush. They may have wheels or tracks. Examples include the American M113 (tracked), the British FV 432 (tracked) the French VAB (wheeled) and the Soviet BTR (wheeled). Including:

During its first fifteen years on television, The Guiding Light used an adaptation of "Romance from Wieniawski's Violin Concerto # 2" in D Minor as its theme music (as it had been used on radio), which accompanied a number of different title sequences. The earliest episodes on television featured a drawing of a lighthouse as an announcer said, "The new Duz brings you The Guiding Light." By early 1953, the show was using an opening and closing image of sunlight bursting through the clouds. Another lighthouse opening visual, now set on ...

In 1981, a new disco-style theme, "Guided Lightning" by Jack Urbont, accompanied a new main title that started with a burst of light from the middle of some round, amber-colored abstract glass sculpture, followed by a parade of clips from the show featuring action-packed scenes and close-ups and two-shots of all the main characters (mostly featuring light as a recurring motif, for example a shot of a disco-ball, and another of two characters sitting by a fire). The sequence ended with a return to that abstract light sculpture as the title of the ...

In January 1991, the show changed to a new title sequence. The new sequence begins with a lighthouse whipping its beacon light around and around rather quickly. Each time the light beam comes around, we see an abstract circular light pattern that ultimately frames the title of the show in modernized silvery letters. The cast montage of this opening had a unique Knots Landing-style setup in that clips of the characters were contained inside rounded patterns that progressed from right to left across the screen, followed by the words of the tit ...

The Guiding Light changed its opening logo and theme music when it went from black and white to color on Monday, March 13, 1967. The new theme music was an original composition by the then new organist for the show, John Gart. From March 1967 to September 1968, the show opened with a shot of a major character posed in the mood of that day's episode. The program opened on a close-up of one of the character's faces against a black background. The announcer proclaimed the title, and the music swelled, as the camera remained fixed in a very tigh ...

GLT and similar competing technologies such as Translohr are often described as the tram equivalent of rubber-tyred metro technology, but this is not strictly accurate; while the GLT follows a central rail, the rail does not support the vehicle, and the actual wheels which do are as independent as those of a regular bus. The wheels of rubber-tyred metros, on the other hand, are bound and guided by their rails in the same way as are steel-wheeled trains. With two articulation points and a total length of 24.5 metres, GLT vehicles are s ...

The GLT systems in place have experienced some mechanical problems which, though they have largely been resolved, have discouraged some other cities from adopting the technology. [1] The vehicles have shown a tendency to move erratically when running free, and do not respond well should the driver mistakenly attempt to steer while following the guidance rail (for example, to avoid a jaywalking pedestrian or an animal running into the street). Critics of the system also point out that unlike a conventional tramway, GLT is a proprietary ...
