    DM>> Francis Bacon - ok, but what is beacon/becon (from kitchen)?   
    ML> i'm not exactly sure about the question but bacon is what americans call   
    ML> thin sliced pork belly that we fry generally for breakfast...   
    ML> some pics here:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon   
   And next link is "beef".   
   Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle, particularly skeletal muscle.   
   Humans have been eating beef since prehistory. Beef is a source of protein and

    ML> white and green light at airports is a beacon... there are also radio   
    ML> beacons used for travel...   
   What radio beacons are used for travel?
