An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.
Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times. The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments. In the eighth century Chinese artists used cobalt blue to colour fine blue and white porcelain. In the Middle Ages, European artists used

Blue
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. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Well it's either played on a grass field, synthetic field, or turf field.
That is diversified. I guess it makes it easier to maintain the field if it is synthetic.
Yup, and players use sticks that are usually made of wood or fiber glass or a combination of both to hit a hard round plastic ball.
That seems like a fun game. Anything with a ball and sticks to hit it with is fun!
It is fun! The goalies also have a different kind of stick but they can use the regular stick if they choose to.
Yeah I guess cause the goalies are the most important part of the game.

The length of the stick is based on the player's individual height. Only one face of the stick is allowed to be used. Goalies often have a different kind of stick, however they can also use an ordinary field hockey stick. The specific goal-keeping sticks have another curve at the end of the stick, this is to give them more surface area to save the ball.

Blue
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. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

"color psychology"' is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors can also enhance the effectiveness of placebos. For example, red or orange pills are generally used as stimulants.

Factors such as gender, age, and culture can influence how an individual perceives color. For instance, heterosexual men

I can't remember now, but every day we had five different things that we had to convey... but I do know that Jim [Byrkit], and then Alex [Manugian], the other writer, had to make sure that we were all on point. So it was just a matter of getting that information out. ... Since there was no script, I had no idea how it ended. ... When I saw the movie, I'm like, 'Oh shit, this is awesome!' ...

Now a conservation-reliant endangered species, the majority of the world's tigers live in captivity.

History.
Historically, tigers have been hunted on foot, horseback, elephant-back, and from machans. Any of these involved considerable danger

Hundreds of millions of cats are kept as pets around the world. Cats have either a mutualistic or commensal relationship with humans.

I was thinking of getting into urban agriculture. Have you ever done any urban farming?
No, but my grandparents do that, why are you decided to do that?
Well, I think that growing and distributing food within a city is a cool idea. It lessens people's reliance on grocery stores and gives them something fun to do.
Yes, and you have the food that you know where it comes from, and it is organic, I like that.

These networks can evolve when receiving formal institutional support, becoming integrated into local town planning as a "transition town" movement for sustainable urban development. For others, food security, nutrition, and income generation are key motivations for the practice. In either case, more direct access to fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat products through urban agriculture can improve food security and food safety.

I walk everywhere, from aquatic to terrestrial environments.
That is great for your health I'm sure! Do you enjoy being out in nature while you are walking?
I do, but it raises different problems than that in water, I get tired very easily!
Well, if you keep at it, you will build up stamina to last longer, right?
You're right, but walking, running, or jumping cause pain in my knees, sadly.
That's no good. You should go to the doctor and get it looked at. They may be able to do something to ease or eliminate the pain.

It is closely associated with a unique high-stepping action of the front legs called "big lick" movement in show ring Tennessee Walking Horses. Under

Even though there are 30 teams in the NBA, I like the Dallas Mavericks.
