Red Heat
The practice of using colours to determine the temperature of a piece of (usually) ferrous metal comes from blacksmithing. Long before thermometers were widely available it was necessary to know what state the metal was in for heat treating it and the only way to do this was to heat it up to a colour which was known to be best for the work. Chapman According to Chapman's ''Workshop Technology'', the colours which can be observed in steel are: Stirling In 1905, Stirling Consolidated Boiler Company published a slightly different set of values: See also *Black-body radiation *Color temperature Color temperature is the color of light emitted by an idealized opaque, non-reflective body at a particular temperature measured in kelvins.

Lois Weber
Florence Lois Weber (June 13, 1879 – November 13, 1939) was an American silent film actress, screenwriter, producer and director. She is identified in some historical references as among "the most important and prolific film directors in the era of silent films"."Lois Weber (1881–1939)", ''Dictionary of Women Worldwide: 25,000 Women Through the Ages'' (2007)Dictionary of Women Worldwide Film historian Anthony Slide has also asserted, "Along with D. W. Griffith, D.W.Griffith, Weber was the American cinema's first genuine auteur, a filmmaker involved in all aspects of production and one who utilized the motion picture to put across her own ideas and philosophies".Anthony Slide, ''The Silent Feminists'', pp. 29, 151.

White Heat (book)
''White Heat'' is a cookbook by chef Marco Pierre White, published in 1990. It features black-and-white photographs by Bob Carlos Clarke. It is partially autobiographical, and is considered to be the chef's first memoir. The book is cited today as having influenced the careers of several Michelin starred and celebrity chefs, and was described by one critic as "possibly the most influential recipe book of the last 20 years". Description Initially published in 1990, ''White Heat'' was part autobiography of chef Marco Pierre White and part cookbook, which portrays White's "bad boy" chef image. White was introduced by actress Lowri-Ann Richards to her friend Bob Carlos Clarke. Clarke photographed White for a Levi Strauss & Co., Levi jeans advert and went on to create the images for ''White Heat''. Speaking following Clarke's death in 2006, Marco Pierre White said, "He was like my prop. Without Bob there would never have been ''White Heat''." ''White Heat'' is credited with changing th ...

White Heat (TV Series)
''White Heat'' is a British television drama series, written by Paula Milne, and first broadcast on BBC Two from 8 March to 12 April 2012. The series follows seven students who first meet in a London, Tufnell Park flatshare in 1965 and consists of six one-hour episodes, set in 1965, 1967, 1973, 1979, 1982 and 1990. The series was trailed in ''Radio Times'' with an article titled ''Our Friends in the South'', an echo of Peter Flannery's 1996 television series ''Our Friends in the North''. Milne herself rejected a direct comparison, however; "''Our Friends in the North'' was absolutely seminal. But it didn't have a lot to do with women, and it didn't have a lot to do with race, and it didn't have a lot to do with sexual politics." Milne, who had experience of both the Central School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art in the mid-1960s, said her experience most tallied with that of the character Lilly (MyAnna Buring). "The mix of the personal and the political is framed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
White Heat (Dusty Springfield Album)
''White Heat'' is the twelfth studio album recorded by singer Dusty Springfield, and eleventh released. It was only released in the United States and Canada. More so than her previous two albums, '' It Begins Again'' (1978), and '' Living Without Your Love'' (1979), and the non-album single "It Goes Like It Goes" (1980), ''White Heat'' was a distinct departure from Springfield's Los Angeles-produced radio-friendly soft rock sound, being closely identified with the new wave, synthpop sounds of the early 1980s. The album arguably contains the most diverse selection of genres to be collected on any Dusty Springfield studio album, ranging from Robbie Buchanan's ballad "Time and Time Again", orchestrated by James Newton Howard, to the aggressive hard rock of "Blind Sheep", co-written by Springfield herself. The sessions for "Blind Sheep" are the last designated sessions for Twentieth Century Fox Records in the Musician's Guild Logs. The album's opening track and only single relea ...

White Light/White Heat
''White Light/White Heat'' is the second studio album by American rock band the Velvet Underground. Released on January 30, 1968, on Verve Records, it was the band's last studio recording with multi-instrumentalist and founding member John Cale. Recorded after Reed fired Andy Warhol, who had produced their debut album ''The Velvet Underground & Nico'', they hired Steve Sesnick as a manager and hired producer Tom Wilson who had worked on the band's debut. ''White Light/White Heat'' was engineered by Gary Kellgren. The album includes lyrically transgressive themes like their debut, exploring topics such as sex, amphetamines, and drag queens. Reed was inspired by a variety of authors, including William S. Burroughs and Alice Bailey, and the lyrics create a cast of characters, such as in " The Gift" and those named in "Sister Ray". Musically, he took influence from jazz music and players such as saxophonist Ornette Coleman. Warhol conceived the album's cover art, although he is off ...

Mad Not Mad
''Mad Not Mad'' is the sixth studio album by English ska and pop band Madness. It was released on 30 September 1985, their first release on their own label Zarjazz, a sub-label of Virgin Records. The album was recorded over a period of two months in 1985 at Westside Studios and at AIR Studios, both in London. The album was their last recording of original material until they officially reformed in 1992. The album peaked at No. 16 in the UK charts, and achieved silver status from the BPI. However, ''Mad Not Mad'' remains the band's poorest-selling studio album to date. On its release the album was received favourably by the majority of music critics, although opinions have become much more negative in subsequent decades. After only a few weeks of its initial release, the writers of ''NME'' listed this album at number 55 on their list of the "100 Best Albums of All Time". The band themselves have been quite vocal that they were less satisfied with the album. In a BBC Radio 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
