A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
Rainbows can be full circles; however, the average observer sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground, and centred on a line from the sun to the observer's eye.
In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc.
A rainbow is not located at a specific distance from the observer, but comes from an optical illusion caused by any water droplets viewed from a certain angle relative to a light source. Thus, a rainbow is not an object and cannot be physically approached. Indeed, it is impossible for an observer to see a rainbow from water droplets at any angle other than the customary one of 42 degrees from the direction opposite the light source. Even if an observer sees another observer who seems "under" or "at the end of" a rainbow, the second observer will see a different rainbow—farther off—at the same angle as seen by the first observer.
Rainbow (simplified Chinese: 我心飞翔; traditional Chinese: 我心飛翔; pinyin: Wǒ Xīn Fēi Xiáng; literally: "my heart is flying") is a 2005 Chinese film written and directed by Gao Xiaosong, starring Chen Daoming.

Slow is a Canadian punk rock band that started in the mid-1980s. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the band consisted of vocalist Thomas Anselmi, guitarists Christian Thorvaldson and Ziggy Sigmund, bassist Stephen Hamm and drummer Terry Russell.
Hamm and Russell had previously been in a West Point Grey punk band called Chuck & the Fucks, playing an infamous concert at Queen Mary Elementary in the spring of 1980 where many of the teachers forced the children to leave.
They recorded and released their debut single, "I Broke the Circle", in 1985 on Zulu Records, and followed up with the EP Against the Glass in 1986. The band's style was also cited as an influence on the nascent grunge rock movement in the nearby Seattle music scene, especially on its adoption of clothing styles such as flannel shirts, ripped jeans and heavy boots.
Slow are most famous for a controversial incident which both marred the Expo 86 festivities and effectively ended the band's career, when the band were invited to play at the event's Festival of Independent Recording Artists. According to Anselmi, the band's original idea was to simply appear on stage naked, run through the crowd to a boat on False Creek and then simply disappear without playing a note; however, the band ultimately chose to put on a more typical performance. Typical, that is, for Slow – the show included Anselmi pitching two two-by-fours into the front rows' empty seats at the side of the stage, and both Anselmi and Hamm followed through on the original idea to strip. Anselmi stripped off his shirt and jeans and performed in a pair of boxers, occasionally "poking through" the front as he adjusted his underwear; at the end of the set, Hamm dropped his shorts to his knees and, with arms raised in triumph, said goodbye to the audience while naked from the waist down. Expo officials cut the power to the pavilion, ending the band's set.
Delta Machine is the thirteenth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 22 March 2013 by Columbia Records and Mute Records. Recorded in 2012 in Santa Barbara, California and New York City, the album was produced by Ben Hillier and mixed by Flood. A deluxe edition was also released, containing a bonus disc with four bonus tracks, as well as a 28-page hardcover book including photos by Anton Corbijn.
"Heaven" was released as the album's lead single on 31 January 2013. The second single from the album, "Soothe My Soul", was released on 10 May 2013. followed by "Should Be Higher" on 11 October 2013. Following the album's release, Depeche Mode embarked on the Delta Machine Tour, which kicked off in Nice, France on 4 May 2013, and wrapped up in Moscow on 7 March 2014.
According to Dave Gahan, Delta Machine marks the end of the trilogy of records that Depeche Mode were recording with producer Ben Hillier.
The album is Martin Gore and Gahan's thematic continuation to a dark, gloomy and bluesy aesthetic that Depeche Mode had started to explore in the late 1980s. The Quietus writer Luke Turner viewed it as the band's "most powerful, gothic, twisted, electronic album since Violator".

Fast & Furious 6 (alternatively known as Furious 6 or Fast Six) is a 2013 American action film directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is the sixth installment in The Fast and the Furious franchise. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Sung Kang, Luke Evans, Gina Carano, and John Ortiz. Fast & Furious 6 follows a professional criminal gang led by Dominic Toretto (Diesel) who have retired following their successful heist in Fast Five (2011), but remain wanted fugitives. U.S. Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) offers to clear the group's criminal records and allow them to return home in exchange for helping him to take down a skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw (Evans), one member of which is Toretto's presumed-dead lover Letty Ortiz (Rodriguez).
Fast & Furious 6 was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and principal photography began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also included the Canary Islands, Glasgow, and Los Angeles. The film was first released in the United Kingdom, on May 17, 2013, followed by an international release on May 24, 2013. A sequel was released on April 3, 2015.
If only for tonight
Yeah, I could dig myself a grave
But even six feet down I know
I'll be found feeling this way
If only I could find, uh
Just a reason to believe
That there's nothing that's up your sleeve
Even though you're wearing that tank top
Love me or leave me but just not behind
We don't need money the way we spend time
'cause if it's real tonight
You and I could really do something
You go fast, I go slow
Meet you in the middle just to let you know
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
If it's me and you tonight (if it's me and you tonight)
You go fast, I go slow
Light my fuse and your body explodes
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
Are ready now, I'm ready now (ooh, I'm ready now)
If only I were bright
(If I were bright)
Then I could let go of my brain
But I turn and get it all in your
Sweet injection into my vein, yeah
(Ooh)
It's the stuff
(The stuff you give to me)
I say that you're the drug
Twelve steps wouldn't be enough
To kick your just that rough
Making me crazy I just can't define
There's not a closet for you in my mind
But you puzzle me tonight
Let's play with your bits and pieces
You go fast, I go slow
Meet you in the middle just to let you know
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
If it's me and you tonight (if it's me and you tonight)
You go fast, I go slow
Put her in drive and the car just goes
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
Are ready now, I'm ready now
(Baby)
Ooh, I'm gonna take my time
(I need you baby)
If you stay with me once again, once again
It's a hear-har-har-heart attack, heart attack
'Cause I want you so bad
(Ooh, I want you too)
Well, I hope
(This love)
This love
(Forever)
You go fast
I go slow (I go slow)
You go fast, I go slow
Meet you in the middle just to let you know
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
If it's me and you tonight (if it's me and you tonight)
You go fast, I go slow
Light my fuse and your body explodes
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
Are ready now, I'm ready now (ooh, I'm ready now)
Are you ready now
Are you ready now
(Baby...)
