ABT's Ballet Terms Word Tree™
How would this look on a T-Shirt, I wonder?
I checked the spellings in a ballet dictionary.
Composed in "Wordle" which is a toy for generating “word clouds” from the text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
I am redoing it to recreate the steps...
Save your text in a text edit program so you can try it out against different settings in Wordie. Type in words you want to be larger more often.
Paste your text into Wordie at www.wordle.net/create and hit Go.
Click on Color in the menu line above and select the color palette you want to try. For example, I used Worldle(TM).
Also select the level of variance you like at the bottom of the Color menu. I like lots of variance so word colors do not repeat as often and you get different shades of the basic colors..
You can click repeatedly on Recolor in the color menu, until you like the colors it chose.
Click on Layout. I like "Mostly Vertical" or "Mostly Horizontal"
You can also keep hitting "re-layout" with current settings until you get a layout you like.
I then used "Grab" and selected my area on the window I wanted to save. Grab is a nice screen selector and save program on Mac's OS X. There are plenty of similar applications on Microsoft Windows too.
Actually you should select and save the image whenever you like it because selecting changes seems to lose what you had. For me anyway.
Here's A Different Way:
It's also fun and interesting, on the create page, to use the option of giving it your webpage URL and have it select the words for you. It selects word sizes on the frequency of occurrence on the page. Or in your text for that matter.
Hope that helps.
Oh, I should mention. The colors from Wordle are too mute for my taste, so I imported it into Apple's iPhoto to give it a little more vibrancy. You can do the same in Flickr's Picnic. Or, you can use Photoshop, which is the real powerhouse.

Not too shabby for the back yard of a house smack dab in the middle of Cleveland! It was so clear I had to set up the tripod and just let the OMD snap away for a while!
Had to chop a Bunch of photos from the end of the set because the lens was starting to frost over. I really should think about one of those warmer thingies...
635 shots at 10 seconds each for just a shade under 106 minutes of trails.
Homebrew 175MHz prescaler for frequency counter. This was based on Heathkit IB-102 design, with some modifications. The circuit boards were my only use of a photographic technigue to develop the resist patterns. The boards came out nice but it was too time consuming for a one-off application.
Well, I've finally bucked up and started participating in the Bike Commute Challenge. It's sort of exciting and disheartening at the same time. Admittedly I haven't changed my bike commute routine, I'm just tracking it on the fancy website, now. The sort of sad thing is, that as a team, we can hardly compete. I'm the only person that lives less than 20 miles from the office. And out of the 8 of us, only 2 of us commute by bike with any frequency. So a lot of the statistics they track on that site put us at the bottom of the accomplishment scale. That's the disheartening part. The up side, though, is looking at all those miles rack up. Way to go, bike commuters!!!

London Psychogeophysics Summit 2010
Dark Heart of Codeness .walk (pronounced as “dot-walk”)
Wilfried Houjebek wrote a geospatial algorithm in the “Brainfuck” programming language. After initialisation by a random coin toss the algorithm sends the user on a algorithmic tour. For historic reasons Wilfried chose the Royal Observatory as the starting point. From here our group was sent on a spiraling course towards Point Hill.
During the walk electromagnetic energies were recorded with an ELF receiver.
At Point Hill we planted undeveloped film sheets for thoughtographic experiments and hid measuring devices for logging high frequency energies. Also some intuitive drawings were made to record the atmosphere.
From there we went back to the center of London to interrogate the London Stone.

Dark Heart of Codeness:
Metrobus Scania OmniDekka 491 (YN53 RZD) turns away from Warlingham Green while on a route 411 bound for Redhill.
Route 411 (Chelsham Common - Redhill) was withdrawn as part of Surrey CC Bus Review phase 2, replaced on this bit between Chelsham Common and Caterham by doubling of the 409 frequency, and between Caterham and Redhill by new route 400.
When in Warlingham, I overhead two elderly ladies talking about where they go on the buses. One of them was talking about how they sometimes use the "blue" bus to go shopping in Caterham. I was surprised that the other said she daren't, as she only knew the 403. It's interesting that some OAPs go everywhere imaginable on their free pass, while others only know one bus route and stick to that, with no interest on going anywhere else. This is particularly of interest when you consider that the 403 goes to Croydon.

I have a theory that every living thing emits frequencies beyond what we are able to audibly hear but within our ability to sense on a subconscious level. What determines your personal frequency is everything you are made of, your dna, brain chemicals, emotions, thoughts, the physical, mental, psychological, spiritual truth of you. In a nutshell, your frequency is determined by your entire consciousness. And all of us are not only constantly emiting our own frequencies but also subconsciously receiving the frequencies of everyone around us and reacting to them without awareness of the source. Opposing frequencies repel or cancel each other out while complimentary frequencies create harmony. This is why, upon meeting someone, we sometimes feel immediately repulsed or immediately connected before learning anything about them - or, at least, before learning enough to justify such intense feelings.
We are all affecting each other all the time, though most people haven't learned to listen consciously to the vibrations and are therefore still susceptible to being fooled by what is on the surface. I also believe it is possible that instead of emiting their own frequency, some people simply reflect other people's frequencies back to themselves, creating the illusion that they are connecting when, in reality, the bond is insincere. A lot of consciousness is required to easily spot phony signals, but the potential is there to not only recognize the fake but also tune out the excess. And while people can pretend all kinds of things to appear a certain way, frequencies cannot be forged; we only have to pay attention.
However, since individual frequencies are determined by consciousness, and consciousness can change, either through evolution or deterioration, it is reasonable to believe that frequencies can change as well. As the sum of us moves from low road to high or high road to low, the tone of our frequency naturally follows. But aside from tone, there is also volume. I've found that many strive simply to be the loudest but such energy is destructive in the long run. To be quiet to the point of being undetectable is equally unhealthy. One must attempt to reach the volume that fits both their own tone and the music of their surrounding world.
The Northern Lights are an atmospheric light phenomenon consisting of colorful, dancing and changing patterns in the northern and southern night sky. The northern lights are mostly green, but sometimes red, purple or blue.
The northern lights are caused by charged particles brought by the solar wind hitting the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of about 80-250 kilometers. When a particle collides with oxygen atoms and nitrogen molecules in the Earth's ionosphere , it gives them additional energy, and the atoms are momentarily excited to a higher energy state. When a particle's excited state is released, the excited energy is released as photons , which is visible as light .
Designation
In the northern hemisphere, the aurora borealis is also internationally called by the Latin name Aurora borealis , or northern fire, in the southern hemisphere, Aurora australis , or southern fire. In most other languages as well, the name of the phenomenon refers to the northern lights or northern brown. Only in Finnish is the phenomenon called "aurora borealis". The name is said to come from the fact that the aurora borealis is believed to have been caused by the fur of the Fire Fox rubbing against the trees. According to another theory, "repo" means the spells of the forest Finns , i.e. the northern lights are the spell fires of the sky.
Occurrence
The source of the aurora's energy is the Sun and the solar wind emanating from it , which continuously blows electrically charged particles towards the Earth. The aurora borealis is caused by the interaction of high-energy, charged particles of the solar wind with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of about 80–600 kilometers. Most aurora borealis occur between 80 and 250 km altitude. Their lower edge is usually sharp, but the upper edge gradually fades into invisibility.
Upon arriving in the Earth's magnetic field , the charged particle that arrived from the Sun begins to bounce, guided by the magnetic field, between the Earth's north and south polar regions along the magnetic path, i.e. the field line. When the particle stops bouncing under the influence of an external force, it plunges down in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. When a particle collides with oxygen atoms and nitrogen molecules in the Earth's ionosphere , it gives them additional energy, and the atoms are momentarily excited to a higher energy state. When the excited state of the particle is released, the excited energy is released as photons, which is visible as a flash of light. Up to thousands of such can occur simultaneously in an area of a cubic centimeter. Together, all the flashes produce a vast aurora borealis.
Occurrence
The aurora borealis occurs mainly in ring-like areas surrounding the Earth's geomagnetic north and south poles, called aurora borealis. They are located at a distance of about 20 degrees of latitude from the poles. The northern aurora oval runs along the width of the northern part of Fennoscandia , the Svalbards , Iceland , southern Greenland , northern Canada, Alaska and the northern coast of Siberia . The southern aurora borealis is located in an uninhabited area around Antarctica, far from, for example, Australia and New Zealand.
The diameter of the aurora oval increases from time to time, when the aurora borealis moves further from the poles and can be seen further away. An aurora substorm is an event where the point of the aurora oval brightens, the oval becomes wider, and the bright area spreads west and east.
On Karhusaari in the Arctic Ocean, halfway between Fennoscandia and Väippuvuorti, the probability of aurora borealis is at its highest, and they occur there every night. In Finland's Kilpisjärvi, the northern lights occur three nights out of four, at the height of Oulu every fourth night, and in the capital region once a month. In the south, the aurora borealis are usually only visible in the northern sky, but sometimes the aurora borealis can also be seen in southern Finland directly above at the zenith .
Sometimes, during periods of strong solar activity, the northern lights can also be seen in Central and Southern Europe, for example in Vienna on average once a year and in Istanbul about every ten years. At low latitudes, the northern lights can sometimes very rarely be observed during strong solar storms in the sky. The northern lights were observed in 1859 in Hawaii at 21 degrees north latitude and in 1872 in Mumbai , India at 19 degrees north latitude, when they were at their zenith in Istanbul and Athens . The southern northern lights have possibly been observed in 1921 in Samoa 13 degrees south latitude and in 1909 in Singapore just one degree north of the equator .
Because the magnetic poles wander on the Earth's surface, the aurora borealis also moves to different places over the centuries. For example, in 1700 the aurora borealis extended to Oulu and Scotland , as a result of which Europe saw ten times more northern lights than today. In the 11th century, however, the aurora borealis reached deep into the southern parts of Siberia, and the aurora borealis was seen significantly more in China than now, but only a little in Western Europe.
Occurrence periods
The frequency of northern lights varies in several cycles – daily, 27-day cycle, seasonal and 11-year cycle.
Since the aurora oval is asymmetric with respect to the magnetic pole and remains stationary with respect to the Sun, as the Earth rotates, it moves during the day relative to the Earth's surface. In the afternoons, the northern lights are far to the north of Finland, but in the course of the evening they move towards the south and are over northern Finland at 22–23. Towards morning, the northern lights retreat to the north again.
When an area of the Sun is activated, it produces not only a lot of sunspots , but also a lot of charged particles that cause the aurora borealis. Such an active region is turned towards the Earth every 27 days, because in that time the Sun rotates once around its axis. An active northern lights period is often followed by a new active period after 27 days. This usually lasts for a few revolutions of the Sun, until the active point of the Sun fades and the aurora borealis decreases.
The most active time of the northern lights is called the northern lights maximum and the smallest is called the northern lights minimum. During the year, the northern lights have their maxima at the vernal equinox and autumn equinox . The minima, on the other hand, are at the summer solstice and winter solstice . However, their differences are not great, and in the northern lights event, the northern lights are observed every night of the year.
Over a period of several years, the northern lights occur most often when the Sun's magnetic activity is at its highest during its 11-year sunspot period , more precisely in the early years of the waning season.
Longer-lasting or irregular fluctuations have also been observed in the number of sunspots and, at the same time, auroras. Around the years 1640–1715 there was the so-called Maunder minimum , during which there were exceptionally few sunspots and the aurora borealis was hardly visible.
Detection
Place and time of sighting
One of the best places to observe and study the aurora borealis is northern Fennoscandia , as it is more populated and has better transport links than the rest of the aurora borealis area.
The aurora borealis is best observed in clear and dark conditions, when the Sun has set behind the horizon . The air temperature is not important in itself, although in freezing weather the air is often clear and therefore good for spotting the northern lights. The aurora borealis occurs as much during the day as at night, but daylight prevents them from being seen just as well as the aurora borealis at night. In Finland, the best time to observe the northern lights is in the northern sky between 21 and 24, far from the light pollution of urban areas .
Northern Lights substorm
The aurora borealis occurs during the night as regular aurora borealis substorms, or "aurora borealis shows". On a calm night, one occurs only once a night, but sometimes 3 to 5 of them are seen during the night. In the north, the aurora borealis can sometimes be seen from directly below, but in the south it is usually only visible from the side.
An aurora substorm starts early in the evening, when one or more peaceful greenish aurora arcs appear on the northern horizon. The arches stretch across the horizon in the east-west direction, but in the north-south direction their width is only a couple of kilometers. The arcs remain unchanged or drift slowly towards the south. The arc brightens an hour or two after it appears, and red may be visible above it. The previously flat light splits into vertical rays, and the arc often begins to ripple. During half an hour, the arc moves south to the middle sky.
The third act of the northern lights play lasts only 10 minutes, but during that time the northern lights substorm is at its fiercest. In the sky, you can see wide aurora bands and curtains that fold and rotate and move rapidly north and south. In addition to green and red, you can also see blue and violet, sometimes even purple. The climax of the northern lights show is sometimes formed by the so-called aurora corona, which is directly above the viewer and spreads to both the northern and southern sky.
In the fourth act, the northern lights diminish in brightness and calm down, and the sky is covered by a gray-green diffuse mantle or pulsating northern lights. This takes about an hour, after which the whole show can start over, when a new aurora arc appears in the northern sky.
Already after the aurora shows have ended in the morning, there are gauzy aurora surfaces that shine with a steady intensity. During the night, so-called false starts can also occur, where the arc does not develop into a substorm.
Colors
The color of the light of the northern lights depends on the quality of the excited particle and the energy it receives in the collision. The excited states of oxygen atoms make the northern lights green and red, and nitrogen molecules bluish.
Green is the most common color of the northern lights. It is born at an altitude of about 100–300 kilometers. The green forms of aurora borealis are usually clearly distinct and sharp, because the state of excitation that releases the green color is maintained for only a second between the impact and the release of the light. Green auroras sometimes also show yellow, which is due to the mixing effect of other colors or the atmosphere. If the sky is not completely dark, green can appear white because the human eye cannot distinguish color from low brightness.
It takes a good minute for the red state of excitation to be discharged. Because the object of impact moves long distances in that time, the red auroras are softer in shape than the green ones. Red light is also weaker than green. The red auroras are mainly created at an altitude of more than 300 kilometers, because the particles have more room to move there than lower down, and because the low-energy and slow particles that cause the red light collide with oxygen even before they have penetrated lower in the atmosphere. At southern latitudes, the aurora borealis almost always appears as intense red, and not green, as in the north.
Purple or mauve color usually occurs below green. It is caused by very high-energy and fast particles that collide with nitrogen molecules only late, at an altitude of about 80–100 kilometers. This color occurs in strong and fast-moving aurora borealis, and the excited state of the particle only lasts for a fraction of a second. The purple aurora borealis are indeed very strong and sharp.
Blue light from ionized nitrogen molecules can sometimes be seen at the top of the aurora borealis. It is very common in conjunction with all other colors, but is often overshadowed by other, stronger colors. The blue color is best seen in the early evening or late morning, and early fall or late spring.
A single aurora form can change color. At first it may be completely green, but after a while the green color will be replaced by a red and softer form.
Formats
Northern lights come in many different forms. The same Northern Lights can look different depending on whether it is viewed directly from below or from the side. During large eruptions, auroras change rapidly and take many forms.
The different forms of northern lights are divided into belt-like, diffuse (blurry) and radiated. In structure, aurora borealis are homogeneous (even), circular or radial. The state of the aurora borealis can be calm, active (moving or changing), or pulsating.
The most common, longest-lived and first visible form of the Northern Lights is the Northern Lights Arc. It stretches from the eastern horizon to the western horizon, and has a flat lower edge. It is usually green and moves calmly and steadily. It can gradually rise higher. As the aurora activity intensifies, several adjacent arcs can be seen in the sky, and the aurora zone expands at the same time. There may be brightenings in the arc that go east or west. The arcs may also start flashing.
Northern Lights Belt.
The aurora belt is created when the aurora arc begins to activate. The aurora borealis has various folds and other structures, and the lower edge of the shape becomes folded and multi-layered.
Northern Lights Veil.
The aurora borealis is a radial arc or belt when viewed from the side. The rays are streaks of light up to several hundreds of kilometers high that may move along the veil.
The aurora corona or aurora crown is visible directly above the observer. It can sometimes cover the entire sky. The corona is usually green, but sometimes it can be completely red.
Aurora spiral.
The aurora spiral is a twisted belt-like structure. The rotation of the magnetic field is caused by the increased upward electric currents, which twist the field line of the magnetic field. A spiral chain has several simultaneous and adjacent spirals.
A westward advancing attack is not as strongly twisted as a spiral. It heralds the strengthening of the northern lights within half an hour.
A place where there is no aurora light is called a black aurora, because the particles travel back into near space. The black aurora borealis form streaks against the bright green aurora borealis.
North–south arcs occur as magnetic activity increases. [39]
Pulsating northern lights occur when the most powerful phase of the eruption begins to pass. They do not move, but their brightness varies greatly, i.e. they pulse or flash. They can appear as patches or long streaks, and are most common in the early morning hours.
The Omega belt resembles the letter omega of the Greek alphabet. It is often seen in the early hours of the morning. It forms a wide and long arc-shaped circle from north to south, and moves towards the eastern horizon.
The aurora pillars can be seen during calm times of the aurora night. They appear on their own and may remain completely in place for a long time. They can show all the colors of the northern lights, but they are quite dim.
Diffuse Northern lights are a flat and dim blanket of northern lights that often appear in the early hours of the night.
Sounds
It has been claimed that a sound is sometimes produced from the aurora borealis. Sounds are not believed to be produced high in the atmosphere, but according to some researchers, it is possible that some kind of sound is produced in the lower atmosphere in connection with the northern lights.
One possibility is that electromagnetic waves are converted into sound waves in objects located near the viewer. Such objects could be, for example, the listener's hair or clothes, or even some parts of the hearing organs. A recent Finnish study suggests that voices can actually be heard. However, their physical basis is still not completely known.
According to the latest measurement results, the sounds associated with the northern lights are produced only at a height of 70 meters and are audible to the human ear. Unto K. Laine and other researchers from Aalto University recorded the sounds of the aurora borealis with three microphones placed apart from each other and were able to locate their place of origin by comparing the delays caused by the passage of the sounds. The sounds are not created in the northern lights, but the same solar particle eruptions that cause the northern lights can also create sound sources near the earth's surface. The details of how the sounds are made are still a mystery, and they do not occur regularly during the northern lights. The sounds are quiet and barely stand out from the surrounding noise. Those who have heard the sounds have often described them as a distant noise and crackling. Because of this, the researchers consider it possible that there are several ways of generating sounds and that the distances of the sound sources from the surface of the earth can vary.
In Culture and Research
Concepts and beliefs related to the northern lights are abundant in the traditions of the peoples who lived in the regions of the Arctic Circle. According to Finnish folk belief, the northern lights were caused by fire foxes running around in Lapland , when their flanks hit trees or their tails hit the snow. Native Americans in Canada had a similar belief, featuring a caribou deer instead of a fire fox . According to an Inger and Karelian folklore, the aurora borealis is caused by the sunlight-reflecting scales of the Leviathan whale swimming in the Arctic Ocean . In the Kalevala, the aurora borealis is referred to, among other things, as the Gates of the North.
The gates of Pohjola are visible,
The evil guards are shining,
The roofs are colorful
from the man-eating village,
from the sinker of Uroho.
( Old poems of the Finnish people : VII1,679)
The pale green color of the northern lights is often associated with the dead in northern folklore, and for example the Eskimos of Greenland considered the northern lights to be the souls of dead children. The red glow of the northern lights has sometimes been seen as soldiers who died in battle struggle with giants. In central and southern Europe, rare and usually blood-red aurora borealis were seen as heavenly signs of wars, plagues and other upheavals. The Norsemen of the time of the Edda poems also associated the northern lights with battles and the dead in battles, and the Canadian Eskimos in Hudson Bay saw the northern lights as guiding lights to heaven for the souls of those who had died violently. In Finland, the northern lights are also widely believed to predict weather changes, although in different ways in different regions.
Earliest written references
Northern lights are rarely seen in Mediterranean countries, but when they are, they can be very spectacular and can be seen over large areas. They are mentioned in several ancient Greek literary sources. Thale is known for example around 600 BC. having paid attention to them and tried to come up with an explanation for them. It has been speculated that at that time Thales saw the same aurora borealis that was also noticed by the prophet Ezekiel who lived at the same time , whose description of the extraordinary phenomena seen in the sky at the beginning of the book has been explained as referring to the aurora borealis.
History of Scientific Theories
The Greek Aristotle proposed in the 3rd century BC that the aurora borealis would be vapors evaporating from the underground layers that ignite from the heat of the Sun. Even at the beginning of the modern era until the 18th century, the northern lights were explained as reflections of sunlight either from ice crystals in the air in the polar regions or from the waves or salt sprays of the Arctic Ocean. Another popular explanation was the glowing smoke from volcanic eruptions in Iceland .
Swedish physics professor Anders Celsius noticed in 1741 that the compass needle vibrated more than usual during the occurrence of strong aurora borealis. This is how the aurora borealis was first connected to Earth's magnetism. Later in the same century, more evidence was found of connections between the aurora borealis and magnetism. In the 19th century, the aurora borealis began to be considered an electromagnetic phenomenon produced by the atmosphere. For example, Selim Lemström , professor of physics at the University of Helsinki , developed the aurora theory at the end of the 19th century, according to which the aurora borealis is a slow discharge of electric charge accumulations in the atmosphere, while lightning is their rapid discharge.
When the electron was discovered at the end of the 19th century, the Norwegians Carl Strömer and Kristian Birkeland proposed that the aurora borealis is caused by electrons thrown into space by the Sun, which somehow generate a glow of light in the upper layers of the atmosphere. Finally, in the 1920s, it was discovered that the northern lights are created by the impact of the Sun's particles on atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen, which release the energy they receive as light.
In popular culture
The northern lights appear, among others, in Philip Pullman's fantasy novel Kultainen Kompassi , in the films Kätketty kullan maa (1996), Insomnia (2002) and Aurora Borealis (2005) and in the television series Villi Pohjola
An afternoon wonder around Flavigny-sur-Ozerain
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a commune in the French department of Côte-d'Or, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
The village was awarded membership in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("France's most beautiful villages").
The medieval village of Flavigny is situated on a rocky spur, surrounded by three streams: the Ozerain, the Recluse and the Verpant.
The first written mention of the village of Flavigny was in the Latin form of its name, Flaviniacum, which appears in the cartulary (or charter) of the Benedictine abbey founded on the site by a certain Widerard in 719. In the mid-9th century, in response to the increasing frequency of Viking raids, the relics of Saint Reine (or Santa Regina) were removed from the nearby town of Alise to Flavigny in the hopes that they could be better protected in a more fortified setting. The relics remain in Flavigny to this day, although they travel back to Alise every fall for the celebration of the saint's feast day in early September.
The town was prosperous during the Middle Ages, catering to large numbers of pilgrims, both those who came to visit the relics of Saint Reine and those on their way to Santiago de Compostela. By the 10th century, the abbey had grown into a town, with a parish church dedicated to St. Genest in addition to the abbey church (dedicated to St Peter). During the 12th and 13th centuries, extensive fortifications were raised around the town; large portions of these walls still surround the village to this day, including the Porte du Val (which includes both an inner gate dating to the 13th century and a sixteenth-century outer gate), and the 15th century Porte du Bourg with its statue of the Virgin. Despite these fortifications, Flavigny was occupied by the English during the Hundred Years' War.
In 1632 the Ursuline convent of Flavigny was founded, and in the early 18th century a new residence for the Abbot of Flavigny was constructed. However, by that time the abbacy had become corrupt and was held by a layman who had little to do with the town. At the time of the French Revolution, there may have been as few as five monks in residence. The abbey church was probably already in ruins, although local tradition holds that it suffered damage at the hands of revolutionaries. The parish church, St. Genest, emerged from the Revolution more or less unharmed.
In the 21st century, Flavigny has fewer than 400 year-round residents, although this number increases in the summer due to the substantial number of foreigners (Swiss, American, Australian, German) who have summer homes in the village. The abbey now houses the factory which manufactures Les Anis de Flavigny, small aniseed-flavored pastilles distributed worldwide. Various artists and artisans make their homes in the village, and it has become a popular tourist destination.
