East

East is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. East is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of west and is perpendicular to north and south.

Etymology

The word east comes from Middle English est, from Old English ēast, which itself comes from the Proto-Germanic *aus-to- or *austra- "east, toward the sunrise", from Proto-Indo-European *aus- "to shine," or "dawn". This is similar to Old High German *ōstar "to the east", Latin aurora "dawn", and Greek ēōs or heōs.Ēostre, a Germanic goddess of dawn, might have been a personification of both dawn and the cardinal points.

Navigation

By convention, the right hand side of a map is east. This convention has developed from the use of a compass, which places north at the top.

To go east using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 90°.

Cultural

East is the direction toward which the Earth rotates about its axis, and therefore the general direction from which the Sun appears to rise. The practice of praying towards the East is older than Christianity, but has been adopted by this religion as the Orient was thought of as containing mankind's original home. Hence, most Christian churches are oriented towards the east.

  • Look (company)

    Look is a French manufacturer of high-end ski bindings, bicycle frames, equipment, and apparel.

    History

    Established in Nevers, France in 1951, Look was originally a ski equipment manufacturer. The company produces bindings under its own name and others such as Rossignol and Dynastar. The partnership with Rossignol (which later merged with Dynastar) made Look a leading binding manufacturer along with the Marker brand. Look pioneered a new binding, that set it apart from Marker in freestyle. This was branded with the pivot system (FKS for Rossignol). Following a change in ownership, it was replaced in 2008 with the PX series.

    In the 1980s Look introduced a clipless pedal for cycling based on equipment for ski bindings. A spring-loaded latch on the top of the pedal held a cleat that was bolted to the sole of a shoe, a twist of the foot releasing the hold. They are called pédales automatiques (automatic pedals) in French. They were sold from 1984, and in 1985 Bernard Hinault used them to win the Tour de France. They were said to be safer and more comfortable than toe-clips. By 2000 the pedal was in widespread use on road bikes ("racing" bikes), track bikes, and mountain bikes, especially among experienced riders.

    Look (Song for Children)

    "Look" (labelled on session tapes as "I Ran") is a composition written by Brian Wilson for American rock band the Beach Boys, intended as a potential track for the band's aborted Smile concept album. Due to lost tapes and scarce information, the recording of "Look" exists today only as an instrumental piece.

    In 2004, "Look" was rewritten with Van Dyke Parks as "Song for Children", and released on Wilson's solo rerecording of Smile.

    Composition

    The song was to be entitled "Look", but during later vocal overdubs was marked as "I Ran" on session tape boxes. The tapes in these boxes remain lost, so it is unknown what the vocal arrangement of the song consisted of in 1966. An explanation for the title "I Ran" can be attributed as the answer to a repeated lyrical question occurring in "Cabin Essence" ("Who ran the iron horse?").

    Placing emphasis on glockenspiel, clavichord, and pounding floor toms, the instrumental track bears some melodic and stylistic similarities to the penultimate choral fugato of the recent Wilson composition "Good Vibrations". "Look" was attempted early on in Smile sessions, being the second song worked on after "Good Vibrations"—possibly having branched from the composition as a byproduct of its arduous gestation. A prominent section of the song makes reference to the iconic opening of the American ragtime piece "Twelfth Street Rag", as per the album's persistent Americana theme. Vocal overdubs were recorded on October 13, 1966.

    Like A Ghost

    by: Steve Kilbey

    At the place pagal I'm sitting in a chair
    Waiting for some service, taking in the air
    My life spins past
    As I'm thinking of you
    The waitress comes up I look her in the face
    Say "bring me something fit for the human race"
    She doesn't hear a word
    She looks right through
    Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
    Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
    Twelve o'clock when the wine runs out
    Go out on the balcony, hear someone shout
    I look below
    Is that my body on the street
    Check the mirror, nobody home
    I can't find a razor, can't find a comb
    We've got to have a talk
    'cause you're dressed in a sheet
    Well I really start to worry when I stand in the queue
    It's starting to pour and I don't know what to do
    Funny thing is
    That I don't get wet
    I hail a cab but he sails out of sight
    What's my name, what's my age, what am I doing in this night
    These questions and answers
    I try but I forget
