Hello, my favorite color is purple, what is yours?
I Like black and red, and white... and yellow.. its hard to pick just one haha!
Interesting, colors have influence on people but the effects are differ, I guess that's why we like different colors

We have a subject as color psychology which is the study of hues and human bahvior
That's pretty cool. I have heard that the in underground subway stations in New York City they used psychologically calming colors like cool tonally subdued shades of purple and stuff
Interesting, I've read purple is the color related to royalty, magic and piety, maybe it's the reason
it's less aggressive than red, for instance. I believe it was associated with royalty due to the exclusivity of purple resulting from it being very expensive. The whole history of color is quite facinating

Purple
Purple is a color intermediate between blue and red. It is similar to violet, but unlike violet, which is a spectral color with its own wavelength on the visible spectrum of light, purple is a secondary color made by combining red and blue. The complementary color of purple in the RYB color model is yellow.
According to surveys in Europe and North America, purple is the color most often associated with rarity, royalty, magic, mystery, and piety. When combined with pink, it is associated

The main purpose for creating the kayak, which literally translates to "hunter's boat" was for hunting and fishing. The kayak's stealth capabilities allowed for the hunter to sneak

As hunters, catch dogs are contrasted with bay dogs who corner prey animals and alert their handler by howling, or baying. Catch dogs are typically outfitted with chest armor to prevent being speared by the boar's tusk, and neck armor to prevent neck injury.
As livestock dogs, catch dogs use their weight and teeth to immobilize live animals so that they can be captured

Microbrewery
A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer, typically much smaller than large-scale corporate breweries, and is independently owned. Such breweries are generally characterized by their emphasis on quality, flavor and brewing technique.
The microbrewing movement began in the United Kingdom in the 1970s, although traditional artisanal brewing existed in Europe for centuries and subsequently spread to other countries. As the movement grew, and some breweries expanded their production and distribution, the more encompassing concept of craft brewing emerged.

An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. This alignment of three celestial objects is known as a syzygy.

The Bible (from Koine Greek τὰ βιβλία, "tà biblía", "the books") is a collection of sacred texts or scriptures. Varying parts of the Bible are considered to be a product of divine inspiration and a record of the relationship between God and humans by Christians, Jews, Samaritans, and Rastafarians.
What is regarded as canonical text differs depending on traditions and groups; a number of Bible canons have evolved, with overlapping and diverging contents. The Hebrew Bible overlaps with the Greek Septuagint

Hitchhiking
Hitchhiking (also known as thumbing or hitching) is a means of transportation that is gained by asking individuals, usually strangers, for a ride in their automobile or other vehicle. A ride is usually, but not always, free.

Hello, I run at least eight kilometres every day.
Wow great effort. Where do you get the energy from? What does the running involve?
I eat a lot bananas and mangos. Running involves aerobic exercise and requires tons of stamina.
When did running become considered as a health option? When did it originate?
It has always been considered healthy, especially since hypothesis suggests that running endurance in the "Homo" genus arose because travelling over large areas was essential for running from predators.
That makes a lot of sense. How many different forms of running styles are there?
There are many, but the most popular one is endurance running, which is needed in physical military training

endurance running is also found in migratory ungulates and a limited number of terrestrial carnivores, such as bears, dogs, wolves and hyenas.
In modern human society, long-distance running has multiple purposes: people may engage in it for physical exercise, for recreation, as a means of travel, for economic reasons, or for cultural reasons. Long distance running can also be used as a means to improve cardiovascular health.

Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least 3 kilometres (1.8 miles). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength.

Readers may use context clues to identify the meaning of unknown words. Readers integrate the words they have read into their existing framework of knowledge or schema.
Other types of reading are not speech based writing systems, such as music notation or pictograms. The common link is the interpretation of symbols to extract the meaning from the visual notations or tactile signals (as in the case of Braille).

Well usually a lens is used to repeatedly focus on light reflected from objects. This turns it into real images in the camera and it creates multiple images. It is just fascinating.
This is amazing! I'd like to try it some time, the whole process is so inspiring.
It really is. With an electric image sensor you can see each pixel and then it is sotred for display or processing.
Wow so it is an electric process, I thought it was like analog.
No modern cinematography is electric. Interestingly the word cinematography came from greek words meaning movement and record joined together meaning recording motion. Sorry for any misspelling tonight. My keyboard is sticking.

Cinematography
Cinematography (from ancient greek κίνημα, "kìnema" "movement" and γράφειν, "gràphein" "to write") is the science or art of motion-picture photography and filming either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as film stock.
Cinematographers use a lens to focus reflected light from objects into a real image that is transferred to some image sensor or light-sensitive material inside a movie camera. These exposures are created sequentially and

Domestication of animals
The domestication of animals is the mutual relationship between animals and the humans who have influence on their care and reproduction. Charles Darwin recognized a small number of traits that made domesticated species different from their wild ancestors. He was also the first to recognize the difference between conscious selective breeding in which humans directly select for desirable traits, and unconscious selection where traits evolve as a by-product of natural selection or from selection on other traits. There is a genetic difference between domestic and wild populations. There is

Rayleigh scattering ( ), named after the nineteenth-century British physicist Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt), is the predominantly elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light.

Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet.
