Within the Mormon Church, every member is assigned a duty, such as leading a congregation, teaching a class, cleaning the building, or providing music. Everyone works together to make the congregation operate. These responsibilities are assigned (there is no applying or campaigning for higher positions), the responsibilities rotate, and nobody gets paid. It is simply expected of church members to contribute to their congregation. You can learn more about this at the "Related Links" below.
Better to understand how the shapes of the wavefronts of light change when they pass through the lens(concave or convex) in terms of Huygens Principle? The simple answer is that light travels in a straight line in any given medium. A medium could be anything light can pass through like air, vacuum, water, glass, plastic. Each medium has its own 'refractive index' which is a physical property of the material that varies the speed of light within a medium. Light travels slower in glass than it does in air for example. Light bending or refraction occurs as light passes the boundary of one medium into another. When viewing light from an object through a lens, that light passes from the object through air to the lens material and back into the air before reaching they observers eye.
Light rays entering the front convex or concave surface of a lens are refracted (bent) by the refractive index of the lens to a new path through the lens material. As light leaves the lens material it is bent again as it reenters the air. The extent that light rays bend depends on the lens material and the curvature of the lens surfaces. Light entering a convex lens is refracted toward a focal point on the other side of the lens. Light at the edges bends more than light passing through the center of the lens, however all rays converge at the focal point. If an observer were to place their eye just in front of the focal point the image would appear larger and in the same orientation. If an observer places their eye beyond the focal point the image appears inverted.
Light entering a concave lens is refracted away from a focal point making the image appear smaller.

What cities would make Romney win?
If Mr. Romney had won major swing states, he would possibly have won the election; but he did not. (In electoral politics, it's about entire states, rather than cities.) Barack Obama won a majority of the popular vote as well as the electoral college, and he was re-elected. He will serve his second term as president.
What is Mitt Romney's view on teaching evolution?
Mitt Romney believes that God created the universe, and evolution is the mechanism He used to create humans.
Romney believes that science classes should have evolution taught, not creationism or intelligent design. He states that they are perfectly fine in a philosophy, religion, or history classroom. This is his view from 2008.
It seems that he has been relatively quiet on this issue since he started running for the Republican nomination.
