Cirrus Minor Cirrus Minor the Nile Song La Canzone Del Nilo Crying Song Canzone Di Pianto Cirrus Minor Cirrus Minor In a churchyard by a river Nel cimitero vicino al fiume, lazing in the haze of midday oziando nel mezzogiorno afoso, laughing in the grasses and the graves sorridendo tra ciuffi d'erba e tombe... Yellow bird you are not lonely Giallo uccellino, tu non sei solo in singing and in flying on mentre canti e mentre voli, in laughing and in leaving mentre sorridi e te ne vai... Willow weeping in the water Un salice piangente ondeggia nell'acqua waving to the river-daughters alle figlie del fiume, swaying in the ripples and the wreaths che giocano tra le rive ed il fogliame... On a trip to Cirrus Minor In un viaggio a Cirrus Minor saw a crater in the sun ho visto un cratere nel sole, a thousand miles of moonlight later dopo mille miglia di luce lunare. The Nile Song La canzone del Nilo I was standing by the Nile Stavo ritto di fronte al Nilo when I saw the lady smile quando vidi la Signora sorridere I would take her out for a while, for a while Avrei voluto portarla fuori per un momento, per un attimo... like tears that like a child Come lacrime attirate da un bambino, how her golden hair was blowing wild come la sua chioma dorata si gonfiava selvaggia! then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly Poi aprì le ali per volare, per volare, soaring high above the breezes levandosi alta sopra i venti, going always where she pleases vagando a suo piacimento. She will make it to island in the sun Riuscirà a raggiungere l'isola nel sole, I will follow her in her shadow La seguirò nella sua ombra and I'll watch her from my window e la guarderò dalla mia finestra one day I will catch her un giorno la afferrerò. She is calling from the deep Lei mi stà chiamando dal profondo, summoning my soul to endless sleep manderà a prendere la mia anima per un sonno infinito, she is bound to drag me down Riuscirà ad attirarmi nel fondo. Crying Song Canzone di pianto We smile and smile Noi ridiamo e ridiamo laughter echoes in your eyes - echi del sorriso nei tuoi occhi - we climb and climb Noi saliamo e ci arrampichiamo fruits falls softly in the pines - I frutti cadono dolcemente nella pineta - we cry and cry Noi piangiamo e piangiamo sadness passes in a while - la tristezza si dilegua in un attimo - we roll and roll Noi proseguiamo e rotoliamo help me roll away the stone - aiutami a far ruzzolare questa pietra - Green Is The Colour Verde è il colore Heavy hung the canopy of blue Greve discende la volta azzurra shade my eyes and I can see you offre ombra al mio viso e posso guardarti. white is the light that shines through the dress that Bianca è la luce che splende attraverso il vestito che porti. you wore Lei giaceva nell'ombra di un'onda, She lay in the shadow of a wave le visioni erano confuse, sovrapposte. hazy were the vision overplayed Nel suo sguardo c'era la luce del sole, ma i raggi della luna la sunlight in her eyes, but moonshine made her cry every facevano sempre piangere. time Verde è il colore dei tipi come lei, quickness of the eye deceives the Green is the colour of her kind mind Il guizzo degli occhi inganna la mente. envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned L'invidia è il legame tra chi spera e chi è dannato. Cymbaline Cymbaline Il sentiero che calpesti è stretto e le trombe ferme e penetranti. The path you tread is narrow and the trumpets sheer and I corvi stan tutti guardando da un vicino promontorio, very high l'apprensione striscia lungo la schiena come una linea della the ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby metropolitana. apprehension creeping like a tube train up your spine La corda tesa arriverà alla fine? Il distico finale avrà la rima? will the tight rope reach the end, will the final couplet rhyme Ed è il momento culminante, Cymbaline, and it's high time, Cymbaline destami ti prego. please wake me Una farfalla con le ali spezzate sta cadendo dalla tua parte, A butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side i corvi van serrando le fila, non c'è posto dove tu ti possa the ravens all are closing in, there's nowhere you can hide nascondere, your manager and agent are both busy on the phone il tuo manager e il tuo agente sono entrambe occupati al selling coloured photographs to magazine back home telefono and it's high time, Cymbaline a vendere fotocolors ai giornali di casa. please wake me Ed è il momento culminante, Cymbaline, destami, ti prego.

I've been amazed since the first time Sono rimasto confuso fin dalla prima volta I can't get a line too close che non riuscii ad ottenere un verso perfetto take me down, take me down Fammi scendere, portami giù from the cell of my mind dalla prigione della mia mente, and hear me slowly floating lonely somewhere e ascoltami quando vago solitario dolcemente, chissà dove... I live far enough on a shelf like a dress Io vivo piuttosto lontano, appoggiato su un ripiano come un on the end of all that reads like a sad song vestito, leaves began to grow beautiful al termine di tutto ciò che suona some una triste canzone and years they began Le foglie iniziarono a crescere rigogliose, and hear me slowly floating lonely gli anni presero a passare, flowing down too slow e ascoltami, quando vago solitario dolcemente, e discendo lentamente... .

  • April 7 School Toolkit 2021 Edition
    Green Shirt Day - April 7 School Toolkit 2021 Edition This school toolkit has been adapted by Canadian Blood Services on behalf of Canada’s Organ and Tissue Donation Community. We gratefully acknowledge BC Transplant for permission to adapt this material for a broader audience. 1 #GreenShirtDay #LoganBouletEffect #TogetherStrong #organstissuesforlife Message to educators In April 2018, Canadians rallied together in support of the victims, survivors and families of the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash that took place in Saskatchewan. Many students and teachers took part by placing hockey sticks in front of their classrooms and wearing their jerseys to school. In 2019, the family of Logan Boulet held the first annual national Green Shirt Day in honour of their son Logan and the Broncos family. They aimed to increase awareness about the importance of organ donation and honour Logan’s precious gift. This highly impactful annual campaign is known as Green Shirt Day and takes place on April 7. Weeks before Logan Boulet was fatally injured in the Broncos bus crash, he had registered his decision to be an organ donor and discussed his wishes with friends and family. The 21-year old defenseman went on to help six lives live on through his generous gifts. In the weeks that followed, Logan’s story inspired more than 150,000 Canadians to become registered organ donors. This became known as the “Logan Boulet Effect”. Today, the Boulet family continues to champion that spirit of giving through Green Shirt Day (greenshirtday.ca, #GreenShirtDay). We hope your school will join the Canadian organ and tissue donation community in championing this movement of hope and inspiration by wearing green on April 7.

  • Colour Play in Arundhati Roy's the God of Small Things
    Colour Play in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things Shazia Sadaf The God of Small Things is complex in its simplicity. Its language is a tan- talizing play on the familiarly unfamiliar. The monsoon moist, intensely coloured Keralese backdrop is startlingly novel for Western readership. The characters, their names, and issues of class are an immediate chal- lenge to the apathetical reader. The movement is dynamic, yet subjec- tive in tone; the narrative detached, yet painfully moving. For all its seemingly erratic stylistic devices, The God of Small Things emerges as a perfectly harmonious work because of an underlying threadwork of connecting ideas. One such connecting mesh is the use of colour-codes within the novel, which gives it direction and coherence. Colours are used as a suggestive device to help invoke the required feelings in the readers. The importance of colour perception in philosophical studies can be traced as far back as Locke’s Essay Concerning Human Understanding where he theorizes that the perception of colour by each individual may be a subjective experience. Inversely, research has claimed that “coloured light can powerfully affect the human condition” (Humphrey 38). In more recent years theories of colour psychology have gained ground in many subject areas. The term “mental colour” today generally stands for qualitative mental properties of colour experiences. In fact, colour psy- chology has become an effective tool as means of silent manipulation in marketing and advertising fields. Subjectivism in colour theory means that the hues we attribute to physical objects in colour experiences are mental qualitative proper- ties of visual states themselves.

  • Þáttur 3.Odt
    Cirrus Minor Good afternoon. My name is Björgvin Rúnar Leifsson and this is an episode about Pink Floyd. In 1969, Pink Floyd released two albums. The first one was released in July and the name varied a bit by publications. Mine is called “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack More "but most people simply call this album" More ". As the long name implies, this is a film soundtrack album, the first of two, that Pink Floyd released and contained only songs by themselves. The other was "Obscured by Clouds", which was released in 1972 and which we'll learn about later. Pink Floyd actually composed songs for other films. The first was "The Committee" in 1968, to say the least a bizarre film by director Peter Sykes with almost as weird compositions by Pink Floyd along with the song "Nightmare" by Arthur Brown. The music for the film was never released on an album but the film was released on a DVD about 15 years ago which I own of course. Another film with songs by Pink Floyd was Zabriskie Point in 1970, from which we will hear an excerpt in the next episode. And let's not forget "Tonight Let's All Make Love in London" in 1967, which we heard about in the first episode, and Live at Pompeii in 1972, which shows PF holding a concert for themselves in an empty amphitheater from the time of the Roman Empire in the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy. Last but not least is the 1982 Alan Parker film The Wall based on the famous album since 1979.

  • The Selby Festival and Pink Floyd Live in Selby : All in 1969
    The Selby Festival and Pink Floyd live in Selby : all in 1969 A 6-month-long party marking a 900 year anniversary The Selby Festival 1969 From the perspective of the 21st century, the Selby Festival of 1969 seems to have been a magnificent attempt at municipal celebration. Whilst it ultimately failed financially, the self-confidence and belief of the organizing committee was tremendous. It is impossible to think that a town of similar size to Selby could ever plan to host a 6-month event of such diversity and quality. This article can only give a brief and fact-based account of the Festival. To have some idea of the optimism and spirit of the times, read the back copies of the weekly 'Selby Times' for 1969, available in Selby library. The festival was first discussed in the autumn of 66 with an organizing committee drawn from civic and religious organizations. It is difficult to credit now quite how important a role the church played in everyone's daily life, and the large membership of groups such as Scouts and Guides, and the way that these groups worked together with the schools and technical colleges to put events on ensured comprehensive 'community involvement' as it would be called today. The focus of the plans was to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the foundation of the original Selby Abbey by Benedict. It's also important to remember the status that Selby had in Yorkshire at the time. With an Abbey older than any other in Yorkshire and a vibrant local economy based on Cochrane's shipyard; British Oil and Cake Mills (BOCM); the sugar factory; John and E Sturge; and Rostron's paper as well as many other local industries, a station based on the East Coast Main Line and the infamous Toll Bridge : Selby was a prosperous and highly-regarded town.

  • Colour Terms in Advertisements
    Armenian Folia Anglistika Linguistics Colour Terms in Advertisements Kristine Harutyunyan Yerevan State University Abstract The present article focuses on the peculiarities of the usage of colour terminology in advertisements. We live in a colourful world and there are great many colour words to describe it. We also live in a world where advertisement has become an accompanying phenomenon of our everyday life. It is obvious that the language of advertising has its specific features and it seems worth trying to reveal the role and the meaning of the colours used in advertisements. Colour terms are known to be linguistic universals which have certain associations attached to each of them. We may suppose that the colours that are mostly used in the advertisements are the basic colour terms. The spheres where we expect to find wider usage of colour terms should be the ones connected with fashion industry. Key words: colour terms, advertisements, hue, lightness, saturation, symbolism. Introduction The study of colour terms has a very long history. Nearly 2,500 years ago, colour was systematically studied for the first time as a basic cognitive domain. As might be expected, different research traditions employ different methods: work with colour arrays (naming, mapping, identifying focal point) is a traditional anthropological method; response time, consistency and consensus of naming, and elicited lists are often used by psychologists; frequency in texts, morphology and word length have been part of the linguistic approach. Our aim is to study the colour terms in advertisements. We should note that advertisement is characterized mainly by the following aspects: concision, clarity, frequent use of comparative and superlative constructions, neologism, repetition, non-sophistication, and application of rhetorical devices.
