Shadows
The umbra, penumbra and antumbra are three distinct parts of a shadow, created by any light source after impinging on an opaque object. For a point source only the umbra is cast.
These names are most often used for the shadows cast by celestial bodies, though they are sometimes used to describe levels of darkness, such as in sunspots.
The umbra (Latin for "shadow") is the innermost and darkest part of a shadow, where the light source is completely blocked by the occluding body. Such an opaque object does not let light through it. An observer in the umbra experiences a total eclipse. The umbra of a round body occluding a round light source forms a right circular cone; to a viewer at the cone's apex, the two bodies are equal in apparent size. The distance from the Moon to the apex of its umbra is roughly equal to that between the Moon and Earth. Because the Earth is 3.7 times wider than the Moon, its umbra extends correspondingly farther, roughly 1.4 million kilometers.
El Gamma Penumbra is a Filipino, all male, shadow play group, best known for being the winners of the first season of Asia's Got Talent.
El Gamma Penumbra comes from two Latin words: Gamma and Penumbra, which roughly translates to "the ray of light (behind) a man's shadow".
El Gamma Penumbra was first founded in 2003 as a hip-hop boy group, competing in dance contests in Tanauan, their home town in the province of Batangas, in southwest Luzon (about a 3-hour drive from Manila). Before joining Pilipinas Got Talent, however, they changed their act, thinking that there will be lesser chance of winning due to too many hip-hop dancers in the Philippines. Upon deciding to do shadow play, believing it is new and unique, they started practicing in a basketball court near Tanauan, using a tarpaulin and a halogen light as an improvisation.
They decided to produce an all-male group members, meaning females are not included, due to the "extreme body movements and contact required of their routines."
Got Talent is a talent show television format conceived and owned by Simon Cowell's SYCOtv company. A pilot was made in the United Kingdom in 2005, hosted by Paul O'Grady, but after O'Grady's split with ITV, the series was postponed, resulting in America's Got Talent – the first full series of the format.
It has spawned spin-offs in over 58 countries (as of April 2014), in what is now referred to as the Got Talent format, similar to that described by FremantleMedia of the Idol and The X Factor formats. In April 2014, the format was named the world's most successful reality TV format ever by the Guinness World Records.
Got Talent was an invention by The X Factor creator Simon Cowell, with comedian and talk show host Paul O'Grady producing a pilot for ITV in 2005 under the provisional title Paul O'Grady's Got Talent. O'Grady left the network after disputes with ITV, resulting in Cowell moving the concept to the United States while he and ITV searched for a new show host.
Due to these issues, the Got Talent franchise ended up debuting first as America's Got Talent on NBC on 21 June 2006, with judges David Hasselhoff, Brandy Norwood, and Piers Morgan. The show's original series was hosted by Regis Philbin. In 2016, the judging panel consisted of Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Melanie Brown, and Simon Cowell, and hosted by Nick Cannon, who has been the presenter since 2009. The grand prize on America's Got Talent is $1 million, and, since season 3, a chance to headline a show on the Las Vegas Strip. America's Got Talent proved extremely successful for NBC, pulling in high ratings in both total viewers and the younger 18-49 demographic. The show's initial success in America is credited with the eventual launch of the British series, and the overall global launch of the Got Talent franchise.
The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people and peaking in Europe in the years 1346–53. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe published in 2010 and 2011 indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, probably causing several forms of plague.
The Black Death is thought to have originated in the arid plains of Central Asia, where it then travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1343. From there, it was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships. Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population. In total, the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century. The world population as a whole did not recover to pre-plague levels until the 17th century. The plague recurred occasionally in Europe until the 19th century.

Sands brought by storming air
Covering all that was of good
Killing and suffocating any organism
To make fertile lands unborn
Nothing so painful
As a hole filled with regrets
No man good willing
Would take this one sin in
Into the nights of glowing
Holds no one thing too high
It can save you when lights fade
I will always be there
Such is our secret way now
From which no one will fall
And nothing seemed to matter
No remorse
They say it burns so vile
The scriptures of this life
In fears that must be over
I will never turn back
Unchained and bloody untamed
Comes out when no one sees
To raise what some call limbo
Chorus
So when they go light at heart
In great joy and become elated
When they habitually jump
Without consideration
When they are so very distraught
So in that blinding sorrow
Take it in and swallow it down
Don't stray in thoughts away
No regret shall pass
Over the threshold
Elevate and transcend
What was before now
Now that it is almost
Almost over and done with
The osmosis of a strange being
An environment made of putrefactions
And rocky roads in labyrinth's design
Where the obvious dark is seen white
Into the nights of glowing
Holds no one thing too high
It can save you when lights fade
I will always be there
Such is our secret way now
From which no one will fall
And nothing seemed to matter
So when they go light at heart
In great joy and become elated
When they habitually jump
Without consideration
When they are so very distraught
So in that blinding sorrow
Take it in and swallow it down
Don't stray in thoughts away
No regret shall pass
