There is a simple formula to help select the right screen size. The distance from the television to the viewer should be 1 Â½ to 3 times the screen size. For example, if there is 12 feet (144 inches) between the back couch cushion to the wall, then the ideal screen size is between 144/1.5 to 144/3, or 96 to 48 inches. Within this range, bigger is better.
John Locke in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding restated the importance of the experience of the senses over speculation and sets out the case that the human mind at birth is a complete, but receptive, blank slate ( scraped tablet or tabula rasa ) upon which experience imprints knowledge.
Equus is a play by Peter Shaffer written in 1973, telling the story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological religious fascination with horses. Shaffer was inspired to write Equus when he heard of a crime involving a 17-year-old who blinded six horses in a small town near Suffolk. He set out to construct a fictional account of what might have caused the incident, without knowing any of the details of the crime.
