    28 Jan 2010 Goethe’s Theory of Colours

    In 1810, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe took issue with Newton and the scientific establishment. Not that Newton was not a brilliant man, but he was influenced by methods which tried too hard to define and did not stop to glance out of the corner of the eye, for this is how people are sometimes prone to do things.

    Newton saw darkness as simply an absence of light, but Goethe had seen it sideways and had noticed that darkness and light work together, and only then does colour appear on the margins between the two. What is more, we have to stand back a little to see them and, in doing so, should simply observe. Anything else will be too much and the image will fade, as anyone who has enjoyed the works of Turner or Kandinsky will know.

    20 Jan 2010 Parental Advisory – Explicit Content?

    If you’ve ever purchased a CD or at least been to a record store and looked around, you’d be familiar with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) logo that’s on some of the record album covers that says: Parental Advisory – Explicit Content. The recording company that produced the album decides which ones get the sticker and which ones don’t, so it isn’t exactly a rating given out by some accredited evaluation group. There isn’t a standard set of criteria to tick off against, but the albums that have this warning are usually presumed to have instances of strong profanity, violence and/or sexual situations. Critics have said that an album that has a sticker doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s more profane than one that doesn’t have a sticker. Some have been first released without the label and subsequently re-released with one. In other words, the label isn’t as telling as album titles like “Prolonging the Magic” and “Barely Legal.”

    The first African-Mexicans to come to Mexico, and their descendants, have greatly influenced the Mexican culture. Throughout the centuries, Afro-Mexicans have made vast contributions to the country of Mexico and they deserve to be recognized and acknowledged for their many accomplishments. Afro-Mexicans share a rich history and count heroes and presidents among their ancestors. One was Vicente Guerrero, Mexico’s 2nd president and a hero in Mexico’s War of Independence from Spain. The state of Guerrero in Mexico was named after him.

    Amongst other things, these immigrants have contributed to the modern Mexican culinary gamut. Unlike other groups, they unquestionably did not come willingly. Their arrival was a product of what was perceived as economically beneficial by the European conquistadors of Mexico,but during the post-conquest years they have added important and vibrant contributions to Mexico’s culture and cuisine.
