Early risers did the equivalent of walking 20 to 30 minutes more each day compared to “evening types,” who tend to stay up late.
Si dolce è’l tormentoCh’in seno mi sta,Ch’io vivo contentoPer cruda beltà.Nel ciel di bellezzaS’accreschi fierezzaEt manchi pietà:Che sempre qual scoglioAll’onda d’orgoglioMia fede sarà.La speme fallaceRivolgam’ il piè.Diletto ne paceNon scendano a me.E l’empia ch’adoroMi nieghi ristoroDi buona mercè:Tra doglia infinita,Tra speme traditaVivrà la mia fèPer foco e per geloriposo non hò.Nel porto del cieloriposo avrò.Se colpo mortalecon rigido straleIl cor m'impiagò,cangiando mia sorteCol dardo di morteil cor sanerò.Se fiamma d’amoreGià mai non sentìQuel rigido coreCh’il cor mi rapì,Se nega pietateLa cruda beltateChe l’alma invaghì:Ben fia che dolente,Pentita e languenteSospirimi un dì.
So sweet is the tormentthat lies in my heart,that I live happilybecause of its cruel beauty.May beauty's furygrow wide in the skywithout compassion;for my devotion shall holdlike a rock againstpride's unrelenting wave.False hope,keep me wandering!let no peacenor pleasure befall me!Evil woman, whom I adore,deny me the restthat compassion would give;amidst infinite pain,amidst broken hopesshall survive my devotion.There is no rest for mein the warmth or the cold.Only in heavenshall I find rest.If the deadly strikeof an arrow injured my heart,I shall heal still,and change my destiny,death's very heartwith the same arrow.If the frigid heartthat stole minenever has feltlove's ardour;if the cruel beautythat charmed my souldenies me compassion,may she die one dayby me pained,repenting, languishing.

..Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”

This page introduces the conceptual basis of artists' "color theory" — the traditional body of lore applied by painters and photographers to the design and creation of images. The addition of "modern" indicates that I compare the traditional (and still popular) tenets of color theory to the answers provided by modern color science.
