Scotland
Scotland (, ) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. Covering the northern third of the island of Great Britain, mainland Scotland has a border with England to the southeast and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, the North Sea to the northeast and east, and the Irish Sea to the south. It also contains more than 790 islands, principally in the archipelagos of the Hebrides and the Northern Isles. Most of the population, including the capital Edinburgh, is concentrated in the Central Belt—the plain between the Scottish Highlands and the Southern Uplands—in the Scottish Lowlands. Scotland is divided into 32 administrative subdivisions or local authorities, known as council areas. Glasgow City is the largest council area in terms of population, with Highland being the largest in terms of area. Limited self-governing power, covering matters such as education, social services and roads and transportation, is devolved from the Scott ...

Margaret Salmon
Margaret Salmon is an American and British based film maker-artist. The work of this New York-born filmmaker is fuelled by references to the great realist tradition in film, be it the propaganda documentary of the Farm Security Administration in the United States, Italian neorealism, or French cinéma vérité. Her subjects are taken from everyday life: people with modest incomes, showing their at once ordinary and dramatic lives. Salmon is particularly sensitive to interactions between the soundtrack and the image, which she uses to produce disturbing effects that heighten the documentary sobriety of her films with a lyrical dimension. She shoots all of her works, working as both Director and Cinematographer, on 16mm & 35mm film. She won the first MaxMara Art Prize for Women in association with the Whitechapel in London in 2006. She has had a solo show at the Witte de With, Rotterdam and the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London in 2007 and Salmon was shown at The Venice Bienna ...

LUX Scotland
The lux (symbol: lx) is the unit of illuminance, or luminous flux per unit area, in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface. It is analogous to the radiometric unit watt per square metre, but with the power at each wavelength weighted according to the luminosity function, a standardized model of human visual brightness perception. In English, "lux" is used as both the singular and plural form. The word is derived from the Latin word for "light", lux. Explanation Illuminance Illuminance is a measure of how much luminous flux is spread over a given area. One can think of luminous flux (with the unit lumen) as a measure of the total "amount" of visible light present, and the illuminance as a measure of the intensity of illumination on a surface. A given amount of light will illuminate a surface more di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
