That is from Psalm 119:105. The NWT renders it thus: "Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light to my roadway."

Basically, it is saying that God's Word is where we receive direction and instruction in making both short term (lamp unto feet) and long term (light unto path) decisions.

Compare the thoughts found in Isaiah 48:17-19 - "This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: "I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk. O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. And your offspring would become just like the sand, and the descendants from your inward parts like the grains of it. One's name would not be cut off or be annihilated from before me." See also 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

For feng-shui purposes, where should I put a floor lamp in relation to my couch?

Feng-shui principles say that a lamp can drain a person's energy if the light bulb is directly over the couch. If your floor lamp does not have a bendable top then the lamp can be placed anywhere in the couch's vicinity for good energy. If the lamp does have a bendable head make sure it is not bent straight down onto the couch.

Why do blobs form in Lava Lamps?

When a lava lamp is turned off, there is a pile of stuff at the bottom. When you turn it on a big light lights up at the bottom of the lamp and bubbles form and float, right? This is because the substance at the bottom of the lamp is very light WAX. The light heats up the light wax and this makes the wax lighter. There is a liquid in the lamp (a jelly type of liquid) that makes the light wax even lighter. Now, because the light heated up the wax, it leaves bubble SHELL. There is nothing inside the bubble but air. And so this ALSO makes lighter. With all these factors making the bubble lighter it slowly begins to rise up. As it moves away from the light it cools down, but there is a light at the top so when it gets to his light it catches onto the OTHER wax at the top of the lamp. By this point it has cooled down alot which makes it heavier and is now bigger. So the wax sinks to the bottom Slowly and heats up again by the light at the bottom. This cycle repeats for ever until the batterys run out. Hope this helps ;)


What advice would you give someone about how to collect light to shine into a microscope?

light is collected by a mirror at the base of the microscope. The mirror is held in special joints that allow it to move in any direction. The light comes from a lamp or from a sunless sky. It must never be collected directly from the sun as this can cause sever eye damage and blindness. Some microscopes have a built-in lamp instead of a mirror. The light either shines directly through a hole in the stage onto the specimen or it passes through a hole in a diaphragm.
