Ardon (Russian: Ардо́н) is a town located in the central part of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, a constituent Russia. It is situated on the west of the Ardon River, located 24 miles (39 km) northwest of the republic's capital Vladikavkaz. It has an estimated population of about 16,500 (as of 2001). It was founded in 1824. It is an administrative center of Ardonsky District.
The town is an important road and rail junction at the head of a branch line to the southern town of Alagir. Until 1964, it was only a village, before it was transformed into an industrial-agricultural center with a cannery, hemp processing factory and other facilities for food and agricultural processing.
The depth and richness of Ardon's colours owe their quality to these techniques.
Professor Avraham Ronen, of the Tel Aviv University summed up the particular character of Ardon's colours in the following words: "Ardon's interest in colourism and colour-techniques is inseparable from his artistic credo.
He believed that a painting should be appreciated and judged solely by its inherent artistic elements, such as colour, composition and their interplay.
Also surprisingly, Ardon gets the prize this month not for scribbling the usual standard far-left Destroy Israel poppycock we have come to expect from Hebrew University professors, although I certainly would not find it surprising if he were also one of those.
Ardon realizes that there just might be a problem with getting employers to pay to such unskilled people US-style wages, but he thinks the $5 per hour wage can be imposed by threatening boycotts of employers who do not pay it.
Ardon the chemist believes in magic and alchemy, which is why he thinks people whose labor is worth a few cents an hour can be suddenly paid $5.
