Little Bird (album)

Little Bird is the sixth studio album released by the Australian singer Kasey Chambers, released by Liberation Music in Australia on 17 September 2010. The first single of the album is "Little Bird". The album peaked at number three on the Australian ARIA Charts, becoming Chambers' first album to miss the number one spot since her debut album peaked at number eleven in 1999.

Reception

Music critic Alexey Eremenko, in his Allmusic wrote "Little Bird is more old school, as it peppers the pop hits with honest to God country numbers, complete with banjo and fiddle... With Chambers, the music and the words sometimes tether on the brink of cliché, not archetype. But for the most part, she is still able to deliver her tunes with honesty that makes you think about feelings she's conveying, not her recording budgets, as is the case with many over-processed country stars out there."

Come Here

Come Here is Cass Fox's first full length album release as a solo artist. Commenting on her own album she said:

Reviews

"CASS - Come Here sampler The girl that fronted Rui Da Silva's 'Touch Me' sounds glorious on 'Out of Reach', Which samples early '70s Parliament. It's a heavy R&B/soulster simultaneously sitting in a '60s Aretha soul camp, Definitely deserves to be a single. Of course Island could opt for 'Million Dollars', which has echoes of Electribe 101's soulful house, but fortified with funky rhythm guitar and turnablism. Cass shines vocally on the trippy, mid-tempo soulful 'Strangers'." - DJ Magazine Review

“(Cass)….has delivered a debut solo album that should put her in the forefront of sophisticated modern pop chanteuses. There are too many potential single here to list them all but this is definitely an album where, if you like one track, you’ll fall for the whole thing.” Hi Fi News

“She has the face and voice of an angel” Irish World

“There are class songs aplenty here, and among the comparators inevitably being employed to describe her sound, which have ranged from Dolly Parton and Dusty Springfield to Sinéad O'Connor and Tracy Chapman – it’s Annie Lennox that she most resembles. Do we really need to say more?” Boys Toys..

E's

E's (Japanese: エス, Hepburn: Esu) is a Japanese shōnen manga series written and drawn by Satoru Yuiga. It was originally serialized in Monthly GFantasy from 1997 through 2005, and later published in 16 tankōbon volumes by Square Enix from March 18, 2003 to February 27, 2010. The series focuses on Kai Kudō, an "Esper", who is recruited by an organization called Ashurum to become a soldier to purportedly save other psychics from regular humans. After a mission in Gald goes wrong, Kai finds himself living with a man named Yuuki and his adopted sister Asuka. As he learns more about Ashurum, Kai finds himself wondering what their true goals are, and worrying about his ill sister, who is under Ashurum's care.

The series was adapted into a twenty-six episode anime series entitled E's Otherwise (エス·アザーワイズ) by Studio Pierrot. It debuted in Japan on April 1, 2003 on TV Tokyo; the final episode aired on September 23, 2003. Two light novels and three drama CDs related to the series have also been released in Japan.

European Economic Area

The European Economic Area (EEA) provides for the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital within the internal market of the European Union (EU) between its 28 member states, as well as three of the four member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA): Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The Agreement is applied provisionally with respect to Croatia—the remaining and most recent EU member state—pending ratification of its accession by all EEA parties.

The EEA was established on 1 January 1994 upon entry into force of an agreement between the member states and the EU's predecessors, the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community. EFTA states which join the EEA participate in the EU's internal market without being EU members, adopting almost all the relevant EU legislation other than laws regarding agriculture and fisheries. The EEA's "decision-shaping" processes enable them to influence and contribute to new EEA policy and legislation from an early stage.

Femtosecond

A femtosecond is the SI unit of time equal to 10⁻¹⁵ or ¹/_{1,000,000,000,000,000} of a second. That is one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth, of a second. For context, a femtosecond is to a second as a second is to about 31.71 million years; a ray of light travels approximately 0.3 µm (micrometers) in 1 femtosecond, a distance comparable to the diameter of a virus.

The word femtosecond is formed by the SI prefix femto and the SI unit second. Its symbol is fs.

A femtosecond is equal to 1000 attoseconds, or 1/1000 picosecond. Because the next higher SI unit is 1000 times larger, times of 10⁻¹⁴ and 10⁻¹³ seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of femtoseconds.

Shorter Times

The waves of visible light oscillate with a period (reciprocal frequency) of about 2 femtoseconds . The precise period depends on the energy of the photons, which determines their color. (See wave-particle duality) This time can be calculated by dividing the wavelength of the light by the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10⁸ m/s) to determine the time required for light to travel that distance.

• 1.3 fs – cycle time for 390 nanometer light, at the transition between violet visible light and ultraviolet
• 2.57 fs – cycle time for 770 nanometer light, at the transition between red visible light and near-infrared
