Blue

Blue is the colour between violet and green on the optical spectrum of visible light. Human eyes perceive blue when observing light with a wavelength between 450 and 495 nanometres. Blues with a higher frequency and thus a shorter wavelength gradually look more violet, while those with a lower frequency and a longer wavelength gradually appear more green. Pure blue, in the middle, has a wavelength of 470 nanometres. In painting and traditional colour theory, blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments, along with red and yellow, which can be mixed to form a wide gamut of colours. Red and blue mixed together form violet, blue and yellow together form green. Blue is also a primary colour in the RGB colour model, used to create all the colours on the screen of a television or computer monitor.

The modern English word blue comes from Middle English bleu or blewe, from the Old French bleu, a word of Germanic origin, related to the Old High German word blao. The clear sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the blue wavelengths are scattered more widely by the oxygen and nitrogen molecules, and more blue comes to our eyes. Rayleigh scattering also explains blue eyes; there is no blue pigment in blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called atmospheric perspective.

  • D Ream

    D:Ream is a Northern Irish pop rock and dance group. They had a UK Number One hit with "Things Can Only Get Better" in 1994 as well as eight more top 40 hits. They released two albums, both of which reached the top five. The group had an all-male line-up which varied in number, but mainly centred on lead singer Peter Cunnah. The live band included keyboard player Brian Cox, who is now a professor of physics and a television presenter, though Cunnah normally played keyboards on studio recordings.

    Early career

    D:Ream first came to prominence with the euphoric single "U R The Best Thing" in the summer of 1992, an anthemic piano-house tune which did not chart but thanks to a Sasha remix was Pete Tong's Essential Tune of 1992. "Things Can Only Get Better"; released in the spring of 1993, gave the group their first chart success and thanks to the Labour Party election campaign of 1997 became their best known success. "U R The Best Thing" was eventually re-released in April 1993 and gave the group their second chart hit.

    Omega (Cyrillic)

    Omega (Ѡ ѡ or Ѡ ѡ; italics: Ѡ w or Ѡ ѡ) is a letter used in the early Cyrillic alphabet. Its name and form are derived from the Greek letter Omega (Ω ω).

    Unlike Greek, the Slavic languages had only a single /o/ sound, so Omega was little used compared to the letter On о), descended from the Greek letter Omicron. In the older ustav writing Omega was used mainly for its numeric value of 800, and rarely appeared even in Greek words. In later semi-ustav manuscripts it was used for decorative purposes, along with the broad version ( ) as well as the Broad On (Ѻ ѻ).

    Modern Church Slavonic has developed strict rules for the use of these letterforms.

    Another variation of o is the ornate or beautiful omega, used as an interjection, “O!”. It is represented in Unicode 5.1 by the misnamed character omega with titlo (Ѽ ѽ).

    Blue Dream

    by: Dance Gavin Dance

    Let's start it over as I comb back and forth,
    Through the causes of my mistakes,
    Well you said it over and over,
    Don't come back, don't come around my kids,
    Well I'm already in, in your home.
    Give in, give in, give it all, slow it down.
    You'll go far on the back of a potato
    Making French fries in the snow
    Then you'll steal, then you'll borrow
    You'll be red, you'll be gold
    Then you'll steal [x3]
    Then you're right in sah dah getti fah da getti tah the betti tah righ [x2]
    Smooth out the street, move your feet,
    Let it out, let it out, let it out,
    Place the blame on my head,
    Let it out, let it out, give it all.
    Give in, give it, give it all, slow it down.
    You'll go far on the back of a potato
    Making French fries in the snow
    Then you'll steal, then you'll borrow
    You'll be red, You'll be gold
    Then you'll steal [x3]
    Then you're right in sah dah getti fah da getti tah the betti tah righ [x2]
    Stop, let it go under now,
    Doo doo doo doo doo,
    Don't move, baby, stay put.
    I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you too. Hey!
    Hey, im bumping bleedo
