THE POWER OF 1xbet sports betting

These are the fifth and sixth entries in a series of stories about the color 1xbet sports betting in honor of Kansas State University's founding on Feb. 16, 1863. To see the rest of the series, visit http://www.k-state.edu/media/.

PERCEPTION COLORS OUR VIEW OF 1xbet sports betting , PROFESSOR SAYS
Royal 1xbet sports betting has a prestigious history at Kansas State University. Since K-State students selected it as the school's official color in 1896, the color has become one of the university's greatest identifiers.

But do people outside the K-State family view 1xbet sports betting in the same way? Do we all see the same color when looking at 1xbet sports betting ? Can the color influence one's mood? The answers are all influenced by how we perceive color, according to a K-State psychology professor.

Lester Loschky, associate professor of psychology and director of K-State's Visual Cognition Laboratory, says different colors have distinct wavelengths. Different responses from the three cone receptor types in the human retina produce a three-part code for each wavelength of light that is received. This code is then sent to the brain, where different sections, such as the thalamus and visual cortex, transform the code into a different three-part code. The final code determines how we see a color.

&1xbet sports betting ;Color perception is just as much influenced by your brain and how it is set up to perceive color, as it is by the wavelengths of light that hit our eyes,&1xbet sports betting ; Loschky said.

Some people perceive colors differently than others because they lack certain cone receptors in their retinas, or because of other factors, such as brain damage, Loschky said. Most people who are colorblind perceive a more limited range of colors because they lack one of the three cone receptor types. Others without any cone receptors in their retinas are truly colorblind. Even people with normal vision can perceive colors somewhat differently -- based on their ratio of the three cone receptor types -- but to a lesser degree, Loschky said.

Different colors also influence our moods in various ways. A study by Dr. David Simms at the University of Glasgow in Scotland found that people rated 1xbet sports betting , pink and blue-1xbet sports betting as the most pleasant colors, Loschky said. Light 1xbet sports betting was rated one of the most calming colors. In contrast, he said, brown was rated as one of the least pleasant colors, and light gray as one of the saddest.

The association of colors with objects or certain products can be greatly influential, Loschky said. Even the color of foods can influence people's willingness to eat them. &1xbet sports betting ;Heinz tried making strangely colored ketchup, including purple, but gave up on it, suggesting that consumers voted with their mouths shut,&1xbet sports betting ; Loschky said.

FROM CRAYONS TO CREATION, 1xbet sports betting REMAINS SYMBOLIC COLOR IN LITERATURE
Purple is the color of adventure. At least, that's how author Crockett Johnson once described his choice of the color in his famous children's picture book &1xbet sports betting ;Harold and the Purple Crayon.&1xbet sports betting ;

No one knows whether Johnson was being serious about his color choice, but Johnson's book speaks to the sense of the adventure and imagination inside each reader, said Philip Nel, professor of English at Kansas State University. Nel is the author of a biography on Johnson to be published in 2012.

&1xbet sports betting ;Harold and the Purple Crayon&1xbet sports betting ; was published in 1955 and follows 4-year-old Harold as he creates his own world with a purple crayon. He draws objects such as the moon, a forest, a picnic lunch and finally, his own bed.

&1xbet sports betting ;One message from the book is that all you need is your imagination,&1xbet sports betting ; Nel said. &1xbet sports betting ;The crayon is the extension of that in your imagination. It's quite an empowering message. It tells you to dream. It tells you to create. It tells you to invent.&1xbet sports betting ;

But the book also illustrates the importance of resourcefulness, Nel said. Harold draws a boat when he falls into water, and when he falls off a mountain he quickly draws a balloon to help him float off. No matter what Harold encounters and invents, he is resourceful enough to solve the situation.

&1xbet sports betting ;That can be a take-away message of the book: to keep your wits and your purple crayon with you and all will be well,&1xbet sports betting ; Nel said.

The book is deceptively simple, yet very clever because Harold uses everything he draws, Nel said. The whole book is a continuous drawing that unfolds line by line.

&1xbet sports betting ;There are no mistakes,&1xbet sports betting ; Nel said. &1xbet sports betting ;There can't be, because the crayon does not erase.&1xbet sports betting ;

1xbet sports betting is featured in other children's literary works, Nel said.

&1xbet sports betting ;Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse&1xbet sports betting ; by Kevin Henkes is a popular children's book that focuses on the lessons that Lily learns when she brings a noisy plastic purse to school.

Gelett Burgess, a nonsense poet from the late 19th century, invoked the color purple in his four-line poem, &1xbet sports betting ;The Purple Cow.&1xbet sports betting ; The comic poem has since inspired many parodies.

&1xbet sports betting ;I think more than anything a purple cow is funny,&1xbet sports betting ; Nel said. &1xbet sports betting ;A blue cow and a red cow are unusual, but a purple cow? That's just funny.&1xbet sports betting ;

1xbet sports betting also has a place in adult literature.

&1xbet sports betting ;The Color Purple,&1xbet sports betting ; Alice Walker's 1982 acclaimed novel, focuses on the oppression of a young, poor black woman in 1930s rural Georgia. In the novel, protagonist Celie writes letters to God that describe how she is abused by her stepfather and husband, but becomes an independent woman over time.

The novel connects 1xbet sports betting with royalty, creation and the connotation of heritage or lineage, said Tosha Sampson-Choma, instructor of English at K-State, who is including the novel in her doctoral dissertation.

The book's character Shug Avery says that 1xbet sports betting is a reflection of the splendor of God and the creation of God. She also feels that God has given people the color 1xbet sports betting as a way to celebrate life and to embrace the good things in life, Sampson-Choma said.

&1xbet sports betting ;The color purple shows that beauty can be found in everything around you,&1xbet sports betting ; Sampson-Choma said. &1xbet sports betting ;Despite the fact that things aren't perfect or that there are these difficulties, people can still overcome them.&1xbet sports betting ;

In one of Walker's later essays, &1xbet sports betting ;In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose,&1xbet sports betting ; Walker writes that &1xbet sports betting ;Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.&1xbet sports betting ; Walker created the term womanist, which is a person who appreciates women's culture and strength and honors ‘entire’ people -- male and female.

&1xbet sports betting ;Walker sees feminism as exulting and celebrating one gender at the expense of another, while womanism is embracing ‘whole’ people,&1xbet sports betting ; Sampson-Choma said. &1xbet sports betting ;She looks at womanism and compares it to purple because it is a richer, fuller definition of feminism.&1xbet sports betting ;
