...songs, called "catches," depend for their spice on stout voices singing the lyrics alternately. As the lyrics interweave, words overlap and innocent verses yield bright fruit: a catch that begins "He tickled her fancy and told her his tale" is sure to come out "And he fancy-tickled her tail." Jonathan Swift was an eager catch lyricist, but the biggest tease of all was Henry Purcell, the saintly master of the High Church hymn. After hours, Purcell forsook cantatas in favor of catches and "hockets"-a trick of song in which a voice may boldly interject one word...
...green-sensitive layer, the magenta dye, which is nearest that layer, is captured. The other dyes, yellow and cyan, are free to go to the surface and become the green leaves in the finished picture. Similarly, yellow and magenta make red. Intermediate colors form at places where the images overlap weakly, allowing fractional amounts of dye to escape. White light in the picture (such as a cottony summer cloud) makes exposed spots on all three layers, capturing all the dyes and leaving the finished picture white. When all three dyes reach the surface, they form spots of black corresponding...
...dyes used are subtractive colors, each of which transmits about two-thirds of white light. The yellow transmits the green and red components, blocking blue; magenta transmits red and blue; cyan transmits blue and green. When two of the colors overlap equally, they produce the color that is common to both. Cyan and magenta give blue; cyan and yellow give green; magenta and yellow give...
While mapping with the help of electronic stimulation has pinpointed some parts of the brain primarily responsible for controlling individual parts of the body as small as the tongue, fingers, or even eyelids, there is evidence of much overlap and feedback. Speech obviously demands control of movements of different parts of the mouth-but not until after the speaker has decided what words he wants to say. So both motor control and intellectual processes are involved...
...visitation this year, when the last-they remember distinctly-was only nine years ago in 1953. That was Brood X. To complicate things further, there are Southern branches of the cicada family that appear every 13 years, and in some unfortunate areas, the 17-and the 13-year tribes overlap, sometimes hit exactly the same hatching years...
