actually is. Red 40 dye - often known as Allura red, Food red 17, and even C.I. 16035 - is a petroleum-based substance that comes from naphthalene and dark red powder. It is a very cheap artificial dye, allowing it to be added into over 40% of food each year. Because of this, it can be found in unnaturally red…
This is a realistic painting which appears to be in a forest type setting with an opened space. There were several trees placed in the scene showing off their beautiful colors of light and dark green. The trees were very tall, appearing to almost touch the skies if looking up. Some were aligned around a circular light brown path along the ground, appearing to be dirt while the rest of the trees aligned themselves along the shape of the small stream. The sun was shining down towards the left of…
rare orange globe lightly veiled, wanting only of a flying witch. “Yeah, it's like a scary moon. But it doesn't bothered me!”, the trooper in him was talking. Mom fiddled with the decoration as I my chest was suddenly assaulted by a pair of seven year old hands. I was attacked! A wondrous, mysterious attack! Only the brilliancy of My Illuminator's imagination captured the snowflakes dancing across me — and my Joy! Bang bang bang, and more of the enemy flakes retreating across the garage…
modern day traditions, the origin of the jack-o’-lantern is found in the lore of a specific subculture. During the 17th century, the term “jack-o’-lantern” was used to describe the mysterious lights that could sometimes be seen over bogs, marshes, and swamps in Europe. Often blue and purple in color, these lights occurred randomly and would always recede when approached for closer scrutiny. The technical name for the phenomena is ignis fatuus, (Medieval Latin for “foolish fire”), but is more…

Whistler was able to create atmospheric perspective, a sense of dimension and depth, in the painting with the blue tones being used mainly in the middle giving it the impression that it is farther back compared to the rest. Likewise with the yellow and light colors, they helped create the illusion of being in the foreground within comparison to the darker and or cooler shades. Although there is a difference between the colors. The majority of the piece deals with blending them in order to create…
bordering hypnotic. The name Ariel sprang unbidden to mind, she seemed to resemble the moon in every way possible. Her eyes cold and distant. Her skin pale, almost devoid of colour. I stared at the long winding stairs, the polished wood shone in the soft light of the chandelier above, the symmetry of the stairs threw the whole room into an organized chaos. The steps rose out of themselves, each one more smooth and perfect than the last, the green of the plants against the rich chestnut of the…
There are many different methods for developing latent fingerprints. Some work better on non-porous surfaces, while others work best developing prints on porous surfaces. Some are destructive preventing testing the object for other forensic evidence while others are non-destructive. In order to make prints visible on porous surfaces, forensic scientists use one of three methods; Silver Nitrate, Ninhydrin and Iodine fuming. These three methods are known to be the most effective ways for…
beach when I was a boy were now fondly washing my feet, soaking black my shoes and pant cuffs”. But just as a large gust of wind, scary at first, but relieving in the end: Forty long years collapsed like a dilapidated house, mixing old time and new time together in a single swirling mass. All sounds faded, and the light around me shuddered. I lost my balance and fell into the waves. My heart throbbed at the back of my throat, and my arms and legs lost all sensation. I lay that way for a long…
Rapids, with all my cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, grandparents, and parents. All in all, there were 16 of us. Traditionally we would enjoy fireworks sitting by the fire pit where there is level ground, a relatively safe place to light fireworks off. But, this year we decided to hold our show 20 feet in front of our cabin so the parents could gape from inside, safe from the infamous red dots. The kids and two brave adults suited up with bug spray and an excess of clothing to combat the…
