Blue is my color .It has a universal connotations
Blue is such a beautiful color. It has so many different shades. I love royal blue and also turquoise! It's so calming.
It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light
Oh really? I didn't know that! Both of my boys are colorblind and can't distinguish blue and purple, maybe because they're so close on the spectrum?

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.

Crochet (; ) is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook. The name is derived from the French term "crochet", meaning 'small hook'.

The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before the next one is begun

Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was more vague, and historically the definition of entomology included the study of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups or other phyla, such as arachnids, myriapods, earthworms, land snails, and slugs. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.

Forensic entomological decomposition
Medicolegal entomology is a branch of forensic entomology that applies the study of insects to criminal investigations, and is commonly used in death investigations for estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI). One method of obtaining this estimate uses the time and pattern of arthropod colonization. This method will provide an estimation of the period of insect activity, which may or may not correlate exactly with the time of death. While insect successional data may not provide as accurate an estimate during the early stages of decomposition as developmental

Acoustic guitar
An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air—as opposed to relying on electronic amplification (see electric guitar). The sound waves from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body, creating sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings. In standard tuning the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E A D G B E.

Mansion
A mansion is a large dwelling house. The word itself derives through Old French from the Latin word "mansio" "dwelling", an abstract noun derived from the verb "manere" "to dwell". The English word "manse" originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way (compare a Roman or medieval villa). "Manor" comes from the same root—territorial holdings granted to a lord who

Pickling ? Often wondered what its is related to.Can you guide me?
Pickling is the process of preserving or expanding the lifespan of food
Wow! That's interesting .What type of food are we referring here?
Foods that are pickled include meats, fruits, eggs, and vegetables
So is it same as refrigeration or other ways of preserving food?

Pickling
Pickling is the process of preserving or extending the lifespan of food by either anaerobic fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar. In East Asia, vinaigrette (vegetable oil and vinegar) is also used as a pickling medium. The pickling procedure typically affects the food's texture, taste and flavor. The resulting food is called a "pickle", or, to prevent ambiguity, prefaced with "pickled". Foods that are pickled include vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, dairy and eggs.

pickling, the food is placed in an edible liquid that inhibits or kills bacteria and other microorganisms. Typical pickling agents include brine (high in salt), vinegar, alcohol, and vegetable oil. Many chemical pickling processes also involve heating or boiling so that the food being preserved becomes saturated with the pickling agent. Common chemically pickled foods include cucumbers, peppers, corned beef, herring, and eggs, as well as mixed vegetables such as piccalilli.
In fermentation pickling, bacteria in the liquid produce organic acids as preservation

Have you ever been involved in any type of dance?
Oh yeah, I've done my fair share of dancing in my life. Why do you ask?
My daughter is in a ballet company. I just love watching them dance everytime she performs.
Oh she does? That's awesome, the only real ballet company that I've heard of is The Royal Ballet because of how old (founded in 1931!) and renowned it is.
There are so many companies around the world. She dances with a local one.
I can't say that I'm surprised that there are loads of dance companies, since it is such an old and yet still so popular form of performing art.
I think one of the reasons it's so popular is because they seem like they are just floating on air. But it's hard work.

Dance
Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance, although these two categories are not always completely separate; both may have special functions, whether social

a "Billboard" interview, Norwood further commented about the track, saying:
"I just felt like, [when] being gone for such a long time, you need to come back with something strong and shock people. Make them go, 'Wow, who is that? Oh my God, that's Brandy? I didn't' even know she can sound like that. Didn't know she would do a song like that?' Because It's completely different than anything I've ever done.

Hair loss has caused me psychological distress, since I'm female.
I am a bald man.
In females hair loss is supposed to be thinning of the hair, but mine is a bald spot in back of head. I think bald men are actually "in style."
I can empathize in the physical fact of the bald spot and I sympathize with what I assume is your Alopecia, that stinks big time.
Yes that's what it is! Alopecia. A spot of baldness. How long have you been bald and does it bother you or no?
My mom's pop was bald as can be and my pop's pop was full head of jet black hair. I started thinning in my early 20's so I take it in stride. Is it treatable?
Most treatments work best to slow down hair loss, rather than regrow hair. I refuse to wear a wig, though!
All I can say is embrace it. I shave my head.....it doesn't grow on top at all anymore. We all have flaws. I don't blame you at all for refusing a wig.

They also wore the wigs on top of their hair using beeswax and resin to keep the wigs in place. Wealthy Egyptians would wear elaborate wigs and scented cones of animal fat on top of their wigs. Other ancient cultures, including the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Jews in ancient Israel, Greeks and Romans, also used wigs as an everyday fashion.

I enjoy classical music. How about you?
I do too. I'm referring to the precise definition of classical music, which is the period from 1750-1820.
Yes! I really like Beethoven's work. Do you have a favorite composer/artist?
Tchaikovsky is my favorite. He was the first Russian composer to leave an international impression.
Neat! So Tchailkovsky has worldwide popularity. I really enjoy listening to the classical music station, I bet his work has been played before.

Before the world premiere, Lindberg reflected, "If I was really pressed to choose just one composer from the classical canon it would have to be Beethoven, because he stands out as an example of what it is to be a contemporary composer – just as much as figures like Xenakis in my own lifetime. I've re-examined his late works with fresh ears in preparing for this composition, to create music that leads

Phonograph record
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English, or simply record) is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the center of the disc. At first, the discs were commonly made from shellac; starting in the 1940s polyvinyl chloride became common. In recent decades, records have sometimes been called vinyl records, or simply vinyl or even vinyls.

Interscope gave us, like, a million bucks last year, and we built a recording studio, and then they basically didn't do too well with "Pummel", so we bailed out and took our recording studio with us. I think the thing they didn't realize, and we did realize, is that it

I have been playing football since I was a kid, the way to play is by kicking a ball with a foot to score a goal.

forms of football are known as football codes.
There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, or prehistoric ball games played in many different parts of the world. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools during the nineteenth century. The expansion of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside the directly controlled Empire. By the end of the nineteenth century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic football, for
