However, to say one's accounts are "in the black" is used to mean that one is free of debt; being "in the red" is to be in debt—because in traditional bookkeeping, negative amounts were printed in red ink (such as losses) and positive amounts (such as profits) were printed in black ink.
The term "black hole" is applied to collapsed stars because it is commonly believed that, like a black object, they neither reflect nor emit light (this is actually false: see Stephen Hawking's research on the matter).

As that network unravelled, it was purchased by Transtar, eventually little was left from the legacy other than the RKO name.

 Bosma, From Broadcasting to Narrowcasting
In early, pre-www days sound was used in networked artpieces through the use of for instance 'midi', a now rather obscure piece of software that allows the user to play with the raw data in many ways he or she wants.
Networking itself, *engaging in/with the structure* of any network project (and in this case of course we concentrate on radio), is still far more interesting and 'truely' interactive.
Eventhough sometimes one gets the impression large corporations and media networks are struck with stupor because of certain features of the internet (no legislation, gift economies, copy culture), they in fact catch up quite quickly with developing everything they need to use the internet as an extension of their original power and structure.

The National Cycle Network will be a safe, attractive, high-quality network for cyclists and a major new amenity for walkers and people with disabilities.
Over a third of the Network will be entirely traffic-free, built along old railway lines, canal towpaths, forestry tracks, riversides and urban spaces, and in many cases these sections will be ideal for pushchairs as well as for cyclists and pedestrians.
This will be the first stage of a larger network which will eventually pass within 2 miles of half the population.

 Rural Rides: National Cycle Network: The West Country Way Cycle Route
From this point on the locals were none too keen on having cycle route signposts erected and the first time I did it a map and map reading skills were essential, although the simple rule of thumb is to keep to the edge of the moor.
The cycle route has been diverted slightly to avoid this dangerous crossing and instead joins the old Bodmin part of the line, which passes underneath the main road.
The route beyond Black Torrington is fairly hilly and, as I knew from previous experience, rather pot-holed and liable to flooding,so in the circumstances I decided to give it a miss and diverted onto the A3072 for the journey into the market town of Holsworthy.

 Britain's National Cycle Network
The network will be truly national, stretching from Inverness in northern Scotland to Penzance at the far south west tip of England.
As much of the network as possible (up to 50 per cent is the target) will be traffic free, making use of old railway lines (their redundancy as rail lines is another example of how stupidly Britain has developed its transport systems), canal towpaths, riversides and derelict land.
Although the network will link with railway stations, there is no guarantee that cyclists will be allowed to take their cycles on trains by all of Britain’s newly privatised rail companies.
