What is the song from legend of the seeker that goes like when shadows long or dark the day and evil does inslave us and war and strive and perholds sway the seeker then shall save us?
When shuttles long or dig the dig and evil doth enslave us, and war and strife and fear hold sway the seeker then shall save us. Cities burn kingdoms fall the seeker then shall sound his call. When men call Darken Rahl their lord the seeker then shall raise his sword. When the hope is lost and days are dark and times grow ever weaker, when spring time dies beneath the frost, then shall come the seeker.

Why was the Black Death called the Black Death?
Writers contemporary to the plague referred to the event as the "Great Mortality". Swedish and Danish chronicles of the 16th century described the events as "black" for the first time, not to describe the late-stage sign of the disease, in which the sufferer's skin would blacken due to subepidermal hemorrhages and the extremities would darken with gangrene, but more likely to refer to black in the sense of glum or dreadful and to denote the terribleness and gloom of the events.Source: S.

Why are pearls different colors?
The color of a pearl depends on the Oysters environment.Most pearls are white, sometimes with a creamy or pinkish tinge, but may be tinted with yellow, green, blue, brown, or black.The unique luster, or orient, of pearls depends upon the reflection and refraction of light from the translucent layers and is finer in proportion as the layers are thinner and more numerous. The iridescence which some pearls display is caused by the overlapping of successive layers, which breaks up light falling on the surface.South sea pearls are the color of their host oyster's mantle - and can be white, silver, pink, gold, cream, and any combination of these basic colors, including overtones of the various colors of the rainbow displayed in the pearl nacre of the oyster body itself.Additional Information While the environment is a factor in a pearl's color it is a limited factor. The strongest defining factor is the type of mollusk. Different pearl mollusks produce different color for different reasons. South Sea PearlsSouth Sea pearls are produced by the Pinctada maximamollusk. There are two common varieties used in perliculture. The first is the silver-lip and the second is the gold lip. These colors refer to the the color of the mantle and the mother-of-pearl (nacre) which the mantle produces. The silver-lip is responsible for producing white, silver and white with rose overtone South Sea pearls while the gold-lip produces gold, yellow and champagne pearls. Of the two varieties, deep golden South Sea pearls are the most valuable, considered the most valuable cultured pearls in the world. Tahitian Pearls of Black South Sea pearlsThese are pearls produced by the Pinctada margaritiferamollusk, otherwise known as the black-lip. Similar to pearls produced by the Pinctada maxima, the color is determined by the mantle color, specifically the color of the donor mantle tissue used in the grafting operation. Freshwater PearlsFreshwater pearls come in a variety of natural colors. The colors are due to a myriad of reasons including but not limited to; the environment, the type of mussel used (Hyriopsis cumingii, Hyriosis schlegeli or Cristaria plicata), and the location of the graft within the host mussel's mantle tissue. Aniline Organic Dyes, Cobalt-60 Irradiation and HeatSome pearls are treated to attain their colors. Many freshwater pearls are dyed in fancy bright colors, and many freshwater and akoya pearls are dyed dark. The dyes are aniline organic. Cobalt-60 radiation is also used to alter the validity of the manganese content in freshwater pearls and akoya pearl nuclei. Manganese is only present in freshwater mussel shell. It will darken freshwater pearls and darken akoya pearl nuclei which is composed of freshwater mussel shell. This will produce a dark, gray effect.Heat is also used, primarily in Tahitian pearls, to attain the currently popular chocolate coloration.
How was electricity important in the Industrial Revolution?
It made people not need candles and oil lamps as much after Thomas Edison perfected the filament to burn up tp 1500 hours.The first incandescent electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light. This is called an electric arc.Much later, in 1860, the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-1914) was determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England.The inventor Thomas Alva Edison (in the USA) experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over 1500 hours.Lewis Howard Latimer (1848-1928) improved the light bulb by inventing a carbon filament (patented in 1881); Latimer was a member of Edison's research team, which was called "Edison's Pioneers." In 1882, Latimer developed and patented a method of manufacturing his carbon filaments.In 1903, Willis R. Whitney invented a treatment for the filament so that it wouldn't darken the inside of the bulb as it glowed. In 1910, William David Coolidge (1873-1975) invented a tungsten filament which lasted even longer than the older filaments. The incandescent bulb revolutionized the world.he stuck it up his butt to see if it would work and it did work and they have the one he stuck up his butt in a museum in california.-enchantedlearning.com
