Alan (Sesame Street)
Since the premiere of the children's television program '' Sesame Street'' on November 10, 1969, it has included what writer Malcolm Gladwell has called "the essence of ''Sesame Street''—the artful blend of fluffy monsters and earnest adults".Gladwell, p. 106 The original cast, chosen by original producer Jon Stone, consisted of four human actors— Matt Robinson, who played Gordon; Loretta Long, who played Gordon's wife, Susan; Will Lee, who played Mr. Hooper; and Bob McGrath, who played Bob. Unlike most children's television programs at the time, the producers of ''Sesame Street'' decided against using a single host and cast a group of ethnically diverse, primarily African American actors/presenters, with, as ''Sesame Street'' researcher Gerald S. Lesser put it, "a variety of distinctive and reliable personalities".

It overlies the lava-flooded remains of the satellite crater Davy Y to the east, a formation which contains a crater chain designated Catena Davy. To the southeast of Davy is the prominent crater Alphonsus. The outer rim of Davy is low, and the interior has been partly resurfaced. The perimeter is somewhat polygonal in shape, especially in the western half, and the southeast rim has been overlain by Davy A. The latter is bowl-shaped with a notch in the northern rim. The interior of Davy lacks a central peak, although there are some low central mounds and the rim of Davy Y forms a low ridge leading from the northern outer rim.

Dark Lineage
Darkness, the direct opposite of lightness, is defined as a lack of illumination, an absence of visible light, or a surface that absorbs light, such as black or brown. Human vision is unable to distinguish colors in conditions of very low luminance. This is because the hue sensitive photoreceptor cells on the retina are inactive when light levels are insufficient, in the range of visual perception referred to as scotopic vision. The emotional response to darkness has generated metaphorical usages of the term in many cultures, often used to describe an unhappy or foreboding feeling. Referring to a time of day, complete darkness occurs when the Sun is more than 18° below the horizon, without the effects of twilight on the night sky. Scientific Perception The perception of darkness differs from the mere absence of light due to the effects of after images on perception. In perceiving, the eye is active, and the part of the retina that is unstimulated produces a complementa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
