    After experimenting from 1915 to 1921 with additive color systems that filmed and projected the two color components simultaneously, rather than in rapid alternation (thereby eliminating Kinemacolor's color flicker and false color fringes around rapidly moving objects), Dr. Herbert Kalmus, Dr. Daniel Comstock, and mechanic W. Burton Wescott (who left the company in 1921) developed a subtractive color print process for Technicolor. As in their final additive system, the camera had only one lens but used a beam splitter that allowed red and green-filtered images to be photographed simultaneously on adjacent frames of a single strip of black-and-white 35 mm film, which ran through the camera at twice the normal rate. By skip-frame printing from the negative, two prints were made, on film stock with half the normal base thickness. They were chemically toned (i.e., the silver particles forming the black-and-white images were proportionally replaced by coloring matter) to colors roughly complementaryto the filter colors (red for the green-filtered images and vice versa), as subtractive color reproduction requires.[44] They were then cemented together, base to base, into a single strip of film. No special projection equipment was needed. The first publicly shown film using this process was Toll of the Sea (1922) starring Anna May Wong.…

    The Color Line

    The color line, W.E.B. Dubois viewed it, is a line drawn between two groups of individuals (not necessarily of different races) that accentuates the contemptuous discrimination of Western literature, philosophy, and various other meanings. Du Bois said on the start of his groundbreaking book entitled “The Souls of Black Folk” for the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line a statement setting out to show people the strange meanings of being black here in the dawning of the twentieth century. Du Bois explains the relations of the darker to the lighter race of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea.” The color lone is both a pre-existing social and cultural structure and an internalized attitude. It was the line that had the best jobs in the economy for one group of people, while denying them to another.…

    The “Yellow Wallpaper” is a vivid, partly autobiographical tale of clinical depression and the struggle for selfhood, written by an early feminist, Charlotte Perkins Gilman. This short story is focusing on the American Gothic Fiction Literary Movement. This story is about a woman who fights for her right to express what she feels, and fights for her right to do what she wants to do. The narrator in this short story is a woman whose husband loves her very much, but oppresses her to the point where she cannot take it anymore. It revolves around the main character, her oppressed life, and her search for freedom.…

    Different cultures go back hundreds of years. Cultures in today’s society can be a few years old. One contemporary culture that has been around since the 60’s and has expanded the eye care field, especially when it comes to vision, is Lasik Surgery. As Lynda Charters and Lucio Buratto explain in the article “LASIK: Procedure Of Choice For The New Millennium?” that “The evolution that brought LASIK to its foremost position among the refractive procedures was started by Jose Barraquer, MD, the “father of lamellar keratoplasty,” in the early 1960s”(Charters). Lasik, which stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a popular surgery used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted,…

    The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans, because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas, one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves, which can be any length, and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves, an electromagnetic spectrum includes each phase of light that can be detected by all organisms, not just humans.…

    It is expected that those persons whom work in the corporate world should uphold to the use of professional business etiquette. Professional business etiquette could apply to the way we look and speak publicly. Webster defines the term professional as" exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in the workplace". However, this definition implies a very generic perspective of the terms relevance as it applies to how we dress and how we speak. It is important in the corporate world, we maintain a professional image and that we speak professionally whether it…

    The UNI-01 class recently participated in a group activity, which tested both our abilities to coordinate and communicate. In short, we were all separated into groups, given a variety of crafting materials, and were told that we had five minutes to plan a design for a stable, and tall tower. During the five minutes of planning, however, we were not allowed to touch any of the materials we would use. We were then left to construct the tower, but were to remain silent.…

    As I started reading this short story, it clearly introduced who the characters are and where it took place. The narrator is a woman; she has no name, remains anonymous throughout the story. She lives with her husband John in a house. This house is isolated from society, since the short story indicates that it is far from village, roads or any means of communication. It also contains locks and gates throughout. The woman is ill and this illness has placed her in a weak position with her husband and everything around her. We know that she likes to write, but her husband doesn’t let her, so she does it in secret. Although this type of writing is mainly to show mild personality disorder in dealing with life, at the same time I believe it shows how each person expresses their illness and how it builds up with certain outcome. Here the author shows how the woman expresses her illness through the circumstances of the yellow wallpaper such as dreaming and fantasying through the paper, which led to her breakdown.…
