Doesn’t it sound exhilarating to race a motorcycle in an organized race on a hand-built track with many large jumps and tight turns? I know first hand that it sounded very nice to me as a young kid‚ in fact I rode at my first motocross track when I was only 3 years old.

Her use of a biased narrator helps portray this concept easily. What is less obvious‚ until the twist ending‚ is that she is also making a point about how easy it is for people to rush to judgment without having all of the facts. Upon revealing that the man who was shot (Lucas) is actually the illegitimate

Mie resonances in dielectric particles can increase the local optical density of states (LDOS) associated with either electric or magnetic transition rates in nearby quantum emitters without ohmic losses. Their rather large quality factors compensate their low field confinement as compared to the plasmon resonances of metallic nanostructures for which nonradiative decay channels dominate. We show theoretically that near-infrared quadrupolar magnetic resonances in silicon particles can preferentially
