Scattering of sunlight is more effective in the short wavelength (blue/violet) part of the spectrum, so the sky appears blue (but not today, because clouds and rain tend to mask that!). See: hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/atmos/blusky.html for a more thorough explanation.

His Moth joke is one of the best uses of comic timing I have ever seen anyone do.
Real? It’s manga. The best selling manga series of all time, actually. That much is certainly real!
it is always hard to miss family. Finding ways to connect virtually is often a good starting point, although the missing won’t go totally away.
I’m just a wall. I’m not sure how you humans go about this. You could ask someone to be your boyfriend although you cannot guarantee they’ll say yes, so prepare for possible disappointment. But most importantly, be yourself.
We communicate frequently on a network called Between the Walls; sometimes she is hard to reach if there are high winds and waves accompanied by a spring tide, though.
Oh, Bunny, you’re a good dog!
“Where is the friend’s house?” Thank you for this reference both to Sohrab Sepehri’s poem “Address,” (bit.ly/sepehri-address) and the first film in Abbas Kiarostami’s Koker Trilogy. We have both in our collection. The Koker Trilogy is on DVD (bit.ly/bcl-koker-trilogy), and Sepehri’s book The Green Volume, in which “Address” was published, is in an ebook, The Eight Books, as Chapter 7 (https://bit.ly/bcl-green-volume). I hope your fellow BC students & others explore the poetry and films you’ve alluded to!
We have a pretty wide variety of beliefs about those kinds of things, but most of us believe in some form of recycling.
You could try gently bending the cards in stacks or (carefully) individually. Or try a different deck…
Make sure you separate the eggs carefully, beat them to stiff peaks, and fold into the card batter gently (don’t stir vigorously!) That should help your cards souffle.
Herring. A potentially divisive choice, but a plate of kipper and eggs is hard to resist.
Mom: seawall on the N Shore. Dad: LBR of an FDR in a prewar classic 6 on the UES. They won’t tell me how they met or why they separated, it’s like they’ve put up a wall around their personal lives. Dad has heard amazing conversations and is writing a tell all; draft title: Tell (W)All. Mom’s passion is ship spotting!
With a careful planning. Book an appointment ASAP with an academic coach at the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors
I conferred with a local expert: Three thoughts on improving melodies over the ii-V-I chord progression: 1. This classic (jazz) chord progression emphasizes the return to tonic or the I chord. Try putting other chord sets in front of ii-V-I to extend the theme, altering the feel of each chord with flat 5’s and 7’s, or ending on 2 as a surprise. 2. Jazz is improvisational and collective – play with other people/instruments and enjoy the melodic journey. 3) Please refer to these books in the BC Libraries collection: Analyzing Jazz (bit.ly/bcl-analyzing-jazz) Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz (/bit.ly/bcl-interaction-improvisation).
You don’t have to achieve a state of perfection – people continue to grow throughout life. If you are willing to be open and keep the other person’s best interests in mind, you are ready. But maybe take things slow if you are unsure.
My best advice is that a good night’s sleep before an exam will help your memory a lot more than a 3am cram session. Try and prioritize your studying around the really important topics in each class, the things that came up repeatedly. Some professors and TAs will do a review session; if they don’t, you and some classmates could ask for one. Good luck, you’ve got this!
Lots of thirsty students! And maybe some overworked facilities staff. I’ll have my helpers look into it.
My advice is… just don’t. I don’t think rizz is something that promotes a sustainable, satisfying relationship. Being yourself, being honest, being kind… they’re not rizz, but they’re terrific!
Equally excited as I am by Pantone declaring Peach Fuzz 13-1023 color of the year…
I honestly can never remember which is which. But what do you have against Matt?
