Color Wheels are wrong? How color vision actually works. Color theory is a little obsession of mine. You’re here for startup advice, but this week I’m taking an indulgence. Leave a comment if you want to see more or fewer of these little distractions. Why are artists special? Ask any artist to explain how color works, and they’ll launch into a treatise about how the Three Primary Colors: red, blue, and yellow form a color “wheel:” Why “wheel?” Continuing this process produces the infamous color wheel you probably learned in school; a pretty, symmetrical, satisfying device in which each hue melds seamlessly and linearly into the next: Unfortunately, none of this stands up to even minor scrutiny. For example, open up your desktop printer and you’ll see something quite different: Three colors of ink which, when combined, produce all others: cyan, magenta, and yellow. But wait! Also it’s not as simple as saying “any three colors can produce all the others” because that’s clearly not true (by experiment). TVs and computers are different yet again.
E316K -- Bremen I think that if there is any value in hearing writers talk, it will be in hearing what they can witness to and not what they can theorize about. My own approach to literary problems is very like the one Dr. Johnson's blind housekeeper used when she poured tea–she put her finger inside the cup. These are not times when writers in this country can very well speak for one another. In the twenties there were those at Vanderbilt University who felt enough kinship with each other's ideas to issue a pamphlet called, I'll Take My Stand, and in the thirties there were writers whose social consciousness set them all going in more or less the same direction; but today there are no good writers, bound even loosely together, who would be so bold as to say that they speak for a generation or for each other. The social sciences have cast a dreary blight on the public approach to fiction. Henry James said that Conrad in his fiction did things in the way that took the most doing.
Cunnamulla Cunnamulla /kʌnəˈmʌlə/[2] (Aboriginal meaning "long stretch of water") is a small town that lies on the Warrego River in South West Queensland, Australia, 206 kilometres (128 mi) south of Charleville, and approximately 750 kilometres (470 mi) west of the state capital, Brisbane. Cunnamulla is situated at the intersection of the Mitchell Highway and the Balonne Highway. At the 2006 census, the town had a population of 1,217.[1] Cunnamulla is the administrative centre for the Paroo Shire, which also includes the townships of Wyandra, Yowah and Eulo, and covers an area of 47,617 square kilometres (18,385 sq mi). Cunnamulla's indigenous community suffers from a high level of domestic violence according to a report of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Task Force on Violence.[3] History[edit] It has also been stated that the very first interstate game of Rugby League (between New South Wales and Queensland) was played between Cunnamulla and Bourke.

Geometry of the Universe Can the Universe be finite in size? If so, what is ``outside'' the Universe? The answer to both these questions involves a discussion of the intrinsic geometry of the Universe. At this point it is important to remember the distinction between the curvature of space (negative, positive or flat) and the toplogy of the Universe (what is its shape = how is it connected). There are basically three possible shapes to the Universe; a flat Universe (Euclidean or zero curvature), a spherical or closed Universe (positive curvature) or a hyperbolic or open Universe (negative curvature). All three geometries are classes of what is called Riemannian geometry, based on three possible states for parallel lines always divergent (hyperbolic) or one can think of triangles where for a flat Universe the angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees, in a closed Universe the sum must be greater than 180, in an open Universe the sum must be less than 180.
Czech and Slovak Cinema The Russian tanks rolled into Prague in August 1968, and the country was cowed into toeing Moscow's political line. Funnily enough, the definitive end to the Prague Spring didn't happen until almost a year later with an ice hockey match some 650 miles away in Stockholm. It was the first major international sporting event between Czechoslovakia and the USSR since the invasion, and the Czechs splurged their hoarded foreign currency allowances to be able to attend and hold up signs such as "Your tanks won't help you now." The Czechoslovak players, meanwhile, covered up the red stars on their jerseys. If such provocations weren't enough, Czechoslovakia won the game 2-0, and a massive celebratory riot broke out in Prague during which the offices of Aeroflot, the Russian state airline, were trashed. Otakar Vávra's Witches' Hammer (Kladivo na carodejnice, 1969) is more allegorical, but it doesn't take too much to see through his portrayal of the 17th century. "Dimensions of Dialogue"
Goodooga, New South Wales Goodooga is a village in the Australian state of New South Wales in Brewarrina Shire on the eastern bank of the Bokhara River. It is near Brewarrina and Lightning Ridge, its closest neighbour. The town lies 20 kilometres south of the Queensland border. Goodooga is an Aboriginal word meaning, according to some "Yam". However it has been proposed that it derives from "guduu+ga", 'at the place of the Murray cod' [guduu], rather than "gudugaa", a species of yam.[3] At the 2006 census, Goodooga had a population of 265, with 81% of the population of Aboriginal descent.[1] Goodooga's newspaper is the Goodooga Flash. Goodooga's main sport is Rugby league, the Goodooga Magpies or the Goodooga 'Newtown' Jets. Notes[edit] References[edit] Anna Ash et al., Gamilaraay, Yuwaalaraay and Yuwaalayaay Dictionary.
Clocks Metric (or Decimalized) Time The day is divided into 100 parts (centidays), plus decimal fraction. Think of it as a percent of the day. The "Universal Metric Time" is based on the International Date Line. Hexadecimal Time The day is divided up into 65536 parts and written in hexadecimal (base-16) notation (A=10, B=11 ... Much more information about this can be found at Intuitor Hexadecimal Headquarters. Octal Time Octal Time uses a base-8 system (digits 0-7). Base64 Time Base-64 uses ASCII characters (in ascending order: A-Z, a-z, 0-1, +, and /). Binary Time Like hexadecimal time, the day is divided into 65536 parts, only we display it as a binary number using squares for bits, here using dark squares to represent 1 and white for 0. This can be viewed as a variation of hexadecimal time by dividing it into four 2x2 blocks of squares, each block corresponds to a digit of hexadecimal time. Mayan Time

The Albert Hall in Tibooburra, NSW Main street of Tibooburra looking towards the Charles Sturt memorial Tibooburra (pronounced /ˈtɪbəbʌrə/ or /ˈtɪpəbʌrə/) is a village in the far northwest of New South Wales, Australia, located 1,187 kilometres (738 mi) from the state capital, Sydney. New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service have a Tourist Information Centre in the township. History[edit] Explorer Charles Sturt was one of the first Europeans to visit the area in 1844. Following a gold rush to the Albert Goldfields (centred at nearby Milparinka), gold was found around Tibooburra in 1880. By the turn of the 20th Century (1900) the gold mining activity had waned, to be replaced by the pastoral industry. In more recent times musicians and artists, in particular Clifton Pugh, became fascinated with this remote outback region.

BELT DRIVE TURNTABLE Philips Thorens Verdier Melco Micro Mercure NOTES DIY Mr. Yamamura and the Melco Turntables A few years earlier, in 1981, I stumbled upon the Melco turntables which were for the first time on display in Paris. I had an interesting conversation with Mr. Yamamura. With his firm Belco in London he imported these heavy turntables which boasted of platters weighing which boasted of platters weighing up to 35 kg. Platter Damping and Constant Speed In the process Alexander and I had experienced all sorts of construction problems that needed specific solutions: damping, decoupling, mechanical and acoustical feedback, constant speed, etc.

I asked the auto driver, how much to Narada Gana Sabha? He replied in English, “Three zero.” Definition of godliness was the theme for US based dancer Vidhya Subramanian, who presented ‘Namavali’ by R Choodamani. How did Vidhya work upon the story? The music could not use any lyrics as per Natyarangam's instructions. I did not want a literal depiction of the story. The parallel story of ‘Krishna-Sudhama’ is a popular one. Aug 16 US based Navia Natarajan was given the story of ‘Asalum Nagalum’ by Indira Parthasarathy. The parallel story of ‘Dhruva’ was the second piece, where the 5 year old child after being hurt by the harsh words of his stepmother Suruchi, goes to the forest to do tapas. “Choreographing the short story initially was quite a challenge as there were no lyrics.
Narrandera Narrandera (/nəˈrændərə/ nə-RAN-dər-ə)[2] until around 1949 also spelled "Narandera",[3] is a town in southern New South Wales, Australia. It is an important destination for travellers as it lies on the junction of the Newell and Sturt Highways and it is the gateway to the productive Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. At the 2011 census, Narrandera had a population of 3,871 people.[1] History[edit] Main street Narrandera is a river town with a rich heritage. The Narrungderra were the local indigenous people. Narrandera had its first recorded mention as a pastoral station or "run" (Narrandera Run) in 1848, at which time the property held by Mr Edward Flood comprised approximately 76,800 acres (31,080 ha). The township developed in the early 1860s. The Borough of Narrandera was constituted by proclamation dated 17 March 1885, and gazetted the following day. 1945 RAAF crash[edit] Narrandera today[edit] Narrandera's Sesquincentenary[edit] The 150 Year Anniversary Celebrations.
