![]() ![]() The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) is a symphonic rock group from the north of England. 43 “Shine a Little Love” band, familiarly : ELO The biggest rival to VHS was Betamax, but we all knew which of the two standards won the final round in that fight. VHS was one of many standards touted by various manufacturers in the seventies. The VHS video standard is more fully referred to as the Video Home System. In French, half of “deux” (two) is “un, une” (one). The Greek term comes from “gymnos” meaning “naked”, as that physical training was usually done unclothed in ancient Greece. Our word “gymnasium” comes from the Greek “gymnasion” meaning “public place where exercise is taken”. “Anon” originally meant “at once”, but the term’s meaning evolved into “soon” apparently just because the word was misused over time. However, Ben came to embrace the Dark Side, and changed his name to Kylo Ren. He was trained as a Jedi knight by his uncle, Luke Skywalker. Kylo Ren is the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa in the “Star Wars” universe. We also use the phrase “litmus test” figuratively to describe any test in which a single factor decides the outcome. Litmus is often absorbed onto filter paper, creating “litmus paper” or “pH paper”. One suggestion is that the term “litmus” comes from the Old Norse “litmose” meaning “lichen for dyeing”. Litmus was probably first used around 1300 by the Spanish alchemist Arnaldus de Villa Nova, who extracted the blue dye from lichens. Litmus is a mixture of naturally-occurring dyes that responds to acidity by changing color. That’s because light travels faster than sound. The observer sees the flash of lightning and then seconds later hears the crash of thunder. ![]() However, thunder comes after lighting in reality, at least to the observer.

The stories about shamrock and snakes, I am afraid they are the stuff of legend. There seems to be good evidence that he died on March 17th (now celebrated annually as Saint Patrick’s Day), although the year is less clear. He went back to Ireland as a bishop and a missionary and there lived out the rest of his life. Patrick managed to escape and returned to his homeland where he studied and entered the Church. He was first brought to Ireland at about 16 years of age from his native Britain, by Irish raiders who made him a slave for six years. Patrick lived in the fifth century, but was not born in Ireland. There is a fair amount known about Saint Patrick, some of which comes from two letters written in his own hand. “Chez” is a French term meaning “at the house of”, which comes from the Latin word “casa” meaning “cottage” or “hut”.

A tour surrounding the album was cancelled. Since that era, however, ELO has only released one album since 1986, 2001’s Zoom. Lynne led the band to success from 1971-1986, penning 27 Top 40 tracks in that era. Classic rock group Electric Light Orchestra are planning a new album and tour in 2015, according to the group’s founder, Jeff Lynne. ![]()
