Artà
Coordinates: 39°42′N 3°21′E / 39.700°N 3.350°E / 39.700; 3.350
Artà is one of the 53 independent municipalities on the Spanish Balearic island of Majorca. The small town of the same name is the administrative seat of this municipality in the region (Comarca) of Llevant.
Population
In 2008 the municipality of Artà had a population of 7,113 recorded residents within an area of 139.63 square kilometres (53.91 sq mi). This equates to 50.9 inhabitants per km2. In 2006 the percentage of foreigners was 13.2% (890), of which Germans made up 3.9% (262). In 1991 there were still 136 illiterates in the municipality. 1,292 inhabitants had no education, 1,675 only a primary school certificate and 1,210 had secondary school leaving certificates. The official languages are Catalan and Spanish (Castilian). The Catalan dialect spoken on the island is known as Mallorquí.
Geography
Location
Artà lies in the northeast of the island of Majorca, around 60 km from the island's capital of Palma. The Massís d’Artà, the highest and most compact massif in the eastern mountain chain of the Serres de Llevant, occupies more than half the area of the municipality. The municipality is located on the western part of peninsula of Artà and is bordered in the west by the Bay of Alcúdia (Badia d’Alcúdia), and in the north by the Mediterranean sea where its coast lies opposite the neighbouring island of Minorca. The coast of Artà stretches for 25 kilometres and, so far, has escaped being developed. Particularly noteworthy are the beach and sand dune formations of sa Canova d’Artà, the flat coastal strip near the settlement of Colònia de Sant Pere, the high rocky coves of the Cap de Ferrutx and a large number of smaller bays that extend from s’Arenalet des Verger to Cala Torta.
ART image file format
ART is a proprietary image file format used mostly by the America Online (AOL) service and client software.
Technical details
The ART format (file extension ".art") holds a single still image that has been highly compressed. The format was designed to facilitate the quick downloading of images, among other things. Originally, the compression was developed by the Johnson-Grace Company, which was then acquired by AOL. When an image is converted to the ART format, the image is analyzed and the software decides what compression technique would be best. The ART format has similarities to the progressive JPEG format, and certain attributes of the ART format can lead to image quality being sacrificed for the sake of image compression (for instance, the image's color palette can be limited.)
Usage by AOL
The AOL service used the ART image format for most of the image presentation of the online service. In addition, the AOL client's web browser also automatically served such images in the ART format to achieve faster downloads on the slower dialup connections that were prevalent in those days. This conversion was done in the AOL proxy servers and could be optionally disabled by the user. This image conversion process effectively reduced the download time for image files. This technology was once branded as Turboweb and is now known as AOL TopSpeed.

You were born one day you are going to die
Ohh...
When ya clocked in can't remember what you'v forgotten
So...
Let me tell you how it is here
To exist here livin on this fear
There is some is something called emotion
And sensation
And they feel this way
You can build and play
You can lie and scheme
While your children say pretty much any – thing
Others will arise, colors will become cold
And they call this time
It accelerates slowly, then faster
There is some one to look after
And of course you grow
Be aware you can hurt them
It can make you scream
And understand you're a person
Give birth to knew ways to dream
And were called a crowd
And we have the tools
Ahh la da da la da da ba da
Ahh la da da la da da le la da da da da
Ahh la da da la da da - la ba da da da
Ahh la da da la da da ba da
The road is done
We had our fun
And so it ends much like it begun
With a gun shot brightness
Noise I'm frighted I'm fighten
Then the silence hits
I collect recollections
And let go reflections of moments of loyalties
And defection the measure my essence
A servant or desperate, storm over tempest
Word or a sentence was I heard or never mentioned
And did I hurt when never mention me
Or another in an instance rullin by inches
A student of illness to see where the real went
I grow the strength to deal with the feeling of new skin
Just as the nous was loosened I let go and saw the two ends
Felt the weight lift from these heavy feet and realized I could have been infinite
And so it ends much like it begun
And so it ends much like it begun
And were called a crowd
And we have the tools
Fall-ah da da la da da ba da
Ahh la da da la da da le la da da da da
Ahh la da da la da da - ba da da da
Ahh la da da la da da - ba da
Ahh la da da la da da la da
Ahh la da da la da da la la la la
Ahh la da da la da da - ba da da da
