Eye of the Needle is a spy thriller novel written by Welsh author Ken Follett. It was originally published in 1978 by the Penguin Group under the title Storm Island. This novel was Follett's first successful, bestselling effort as a novelist, and it earned him the 1979 Edgar Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America. The revised title is an allusion to the "eye of a needle" aphorism.
Operation Fortitude was an Allied counter-intelligence operation run during World War II. Its goal was to convince the German military that the D-Day landings were to occur at Calais and not Normandy. As a part of Fortitude the fictitious First United States Army Group (FUSAG) was created. FUSAG used fake tanks, aircraft, buildings and radio traffic to create an illusion of an army being formed to land at Calais.
In 1940 Henry Faber is a German spy, called 'die Nadel' ('The Needle') for the use of a stiletto as his trademark weapon, working at a London railway depot, collecting information on troop movements. Faber is halfway through radioing this information to Berlin when his widowed landlady stumbles into his room hoping for intimacy. Faber fears that Mrs. Garden will eventually realize that he was using a transmitter and that he is a spy, so he kills her with his stiletto, then resumes his transmission.
The book then introduces David, a trainee RAF pilot, and his bride Lucy. On their honeymoon David and Lucy are involved in a car crash. David loses the use of both his legs. Unable to fly in the Battle of Britain David grows embittered as he and Lucy retire to the isolated Storm Island off the east coast of Scotland.
"Eye of the Needle" is a song recorded by Australian recording artist Sia for her sixth studio album, 1000 Forms of Fear (2014). The song was released on 3 June 2014 as a promotional single by Inertia in Australia and Monkey Puzzle and RCA Records globally. It appeared on record charts of Australia, France and the United Kingdom.
Background and composition
"Eye of the Needle" was released as streamed audio as a promotional tool for Sia's album 1000 Forms of Fear on 2 June 2014. The song was written by Chris Braide and Sia, while production was handled by Greg Kurstin.
Voyager detects the signs of a wormhole and a course is set to investigate, in the hopes that it may shorten Voyager's journey to Earth. To the crew's disappointment, it is discovered to be a decaying micro-wormhole whose aperture is only about 30 centimetres (12in) in diameter. Nevertheless, Captain Janeway suspects that it could be used to transmit a message to the Alpha Quadrant, and a micro-probe is launched into the wormhole to determine where it exits.
However, the probe gets stuck in gravitational eddies, and is unable to pass any further. Meanwhile, a vessel at the other end of the wormhole is investigating and making scans of the probe. The crew of Voyager detect the scans and make contact, using the probe as a communications relay. The vessel identifies itself as a Romulan ship, and confirms that the wormhole does indeed exit in the Alpha Quadrant.
Janeway convinces the Romulan captain to take securely-transmitted messages from the crew which can be passed on to Starfleet and the family of Voyager's crew members.
Eyes are the organs of vision. They detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons. In higher organisms, the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment, regulates its intensity through a diaphragm, focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image, converts this image into a set of electrical signals, and transmits these signals to the brain through complex neural pathways that connect the eye via the optic nerve to the visual cortex and other areas of the brain. Eyes with resolving power have come in ten fundamentally different forms, and 96% of animal species possess a complex optical system. Image-resolving eyes are present in molluscs, chordates and arthropods.
Eye magazine, the international review of graphic design, is a quarterly print magazine on graphic design and visual culture.
History
First published in London in 1990, Eye was founded by Rick Poynor, a prolific writer on graphic design and visual communication. Poynor edited the first twenty-four issues (1990-1997). Max Bruinsma was the second editor, editing issues 25–32 (1997–1999), before its current editor John L. Walters took over in 1999. Stephen Coates was art director for issues 1-26, Nick Bell was art director from issues 27-57, and Simon Esterson has been art director since issue 58.
Empty Yard Experiment (or EYE for short) is a progressive rock band based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Founded in 2006, EYE has created a reputation for its live shows, where the band’s music is complemented by the use of conceptual and visual art. Influenced by bands such as Tool, Karnivool, King Crimson, early Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails, Alice In Chains, Mogwai and Russian Circles, the band's music often eludes categorization with its unique blend of Western musical traditions and those inspired by the various cultures of the Middle East. It incorporates various elements of Post-Rock and Alternative Rock to place the band as one of the most prominent progressive rock acts in the region. EYE's live shows rely heavily on visuals created by the band, former drummer Sami Al Turki and Altamash Urooj which allows the band to offer their audience a "multi-sensory experience", used a as a distinctive platform for communication with the audience.
EYE released a self-titled EP in 2011 and in 2014, the band released the critically acclaimed 'Kallisti', which was hailed by Metal Hammer magazine as a "sweeping, epic, multi-faceted piece that takes its listener on a journey that very few other bands are able to."

LYRICS
Take me down
I'm feeling now
And if I move on
I admit you're gone
I ain't ready
I'll hold steady
I'll hold you in my arms
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I wont let the terror in I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
Step and repeat
Tears fall to the beat
Smile through pain
Feel the acid rain
I ain't ready
I'll hold steady
I'll hold you in my arms, in my arms, in my arms
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I wont let the terror in I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
My bags heavy
Been filled by me
They weigh me down
Carry them round
It's all mine all mine
I am blinded by the eye of the needle

Eye of the Needle (1981) - Home Guard Scene
After taking photos of dummy B17 bombers and P51 Mustang fighters, the German spy Henry Faber (played by Donald Sutherland) makes his way back to the boat moored on the side of the canal. A Home Guard captain (played by John Paul) waits inside for him to come closer. As the spy replies with what he has in his bag, a Home Guard corporal (played by Stephen Phillips) armed with a Lee Enfield approaches behind him and asks for Henry to put his hands up. As he tries to untie the bag, Henry pushes the corporal to the ground and stabs the captain, pushing him into the water. Henry then turns around to stab the corporal and the scene ends.

Eye of the Needle Gate in Jerusalem
This is a tiny gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. Some people believe this is what Jesus was referring to when He said, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." The camel would have to be completely unloaded, kneel, then dragged through on a board.

Some people believe this is what Jesus was referring to when He said, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." The camel would have to be completely unloaded, kneel, then dragged through on a board.
Eye of the Needle is a spy thriller novel written by Welsh author Ken Follett. It was originally published in 1978 by the Penguin Group under the title Storm Island. This novel was Follett's first successful, bestselling effort as a novelist, and it earned him the 1979 Edgar Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America. The revised title is an allusion to the "eye of a needle" aphorism.
Operation Fortitude was an Allied counter-intelligence operation run during World War II. Its goal was to convince the German military that the D-Day landings were to occur at Calais and not Normandy. As a part of Fortitude the fictitious First United States Army Group (FUSAG) was created. FUSAG used fake tanks, aircraft, buildings and radio traffic to create an illusion of an army being formed to land at Calais.
In 1940 Henry Faber is a German spy, called 'die Nadel' ('The Needle') for the use of a stiletto as his trademark weapon, working at a London railway depot, collecting information on troop movements. Faber is halfway through radioing this information to Berlin when his widowed landlady stumbles into his room hoping for intimacy. Faber fears that Mrs. Garden will eventually realize that he was using a transmitter and that he is a spy, so he kills her with his stiletto, then resumes his transmission.
The book then introduces David, a trainee RAF pilot, and his bride Lucy. On their honeymoon David and Lucy are involved in a car crash. David loses the use of both his legs. Unable to fly in the Battle of Britain David grows embittered as he and Lucy retire to the isolated Storm Island off the east coast of Scotland.
