"The pose of Michelangelo's David is unlike that of earlier Renaissance depictions of \"David\".",
"The bronze statues of David by Donatello and Verrocchio had both represented the hero standing victorious over the head of Goliath, the painter Andrea del Castagno had shown the boy in mid-swing, even as Goliath's head rested between his feet, but no earlier Florentine artist had omitted the giant altogether.",
"According to Helen Gardner and other scholars, David is depicted before his battle with Goliath.",
"Instead of being shown victorious over a foe much larger than he, David looks tense and ready for combat.",
"The statue appears to show David after he has made the decision to fight Goliath but before the battle has actually taken place, a moment between conscious choice and action.",
"His brow is drawn, his neck tense and the veins bulge out of his lowered right hand.",
"The twist of his body effectively conveys to the viewer the feeling that he is in motion, an impression heightened with contrapposto.",
"The statue is a Renaissance interpretation of a common ancient Greek theme of the standing heroic male nude.",
"In the High Renaissance, contrapposto poses were thought of as a distinctive feature of antique sculpture.",
"This is typified in \"David\", as the figure stands with one leg holding its full weight and the other leg forward.",
"This classic pose causes the figure’s hips and shoulders to rest at opposing angles, giving a slight s-curve to the entire torso.",
"The contrapposto is emphasised by the turn of the head to the left, and by the contrasting positions of the arms.",
"Michelangelo’s \"David\" has become one of the most recognized works of Renaissance sculpture, becoming a symbol of both strength and youthful human beauty.",
"It was the colossal size of the statue that impressed Michelangelo's contemporaries, however.",
"Vasari described it as \"certainly a miracle that of Michelangelo, to restore to life one who was dead,\" and then listed all of the largest and most grand of the ancient statues that he had ever seen, concluding that Michelangelo's work surpassed \"all ancient and modern statues, whether Greek or Latin, that have ever existed.\"",
"The proportions of the \"David\" are atypical of Michelangelo's work; the figure has an unusually large head and hands (particularly apparent in the right hand).",
"These enlargements may be due to the fact that the statue was originally intended to be placed on the cathedral roofline, where the important parts of the sculpture would necessarily be accentuated in order to be visible from below.",
"The statue is unusually slender (front to back) in comparison to its height.",
"This may be the result of the work that had been done on the block before Michelangelo began carving it.",
"It is possible that the \"David\" was conceived as a political statue before Michelangelo began to work on it.",
"Certainly David the giant-killer had long been seen as a political figure in Florence, and images of the Biblical hero already carried political implications there.",
"Donatello's bronze \"David,\" made for the Medici family, perhaps 1440, had been appropriated by the Signoria in 1494, when the Medici were exiled from Florence, and the statue was installed in the courtyard of the Palazzo della Signoria, where it stood for the Republican government of the city.",
"By placing Michelangelo's statue in the same general location, the Florentine authorities ensured that \"David\" would be seen as a political parallel as well as an artistic response to that earlier work.",
"Commentators have noted \"David\"'s uncircumcised penis, which is at odds with Judaic practice, but is consistent with the conventions of Renaissance art.",
"In 2008, plans were proposed to insulate the statue from the vibration of tourists' footsteps at Florence's Galleria dell'Accademia, to prevent damage to the marble."

"In a letter to Huygens, Rembrandt offered the only surviving explanation of what he sought to achieve through his art: \"the greatest and most natural movement\", translated from \"de meeste en de natuurlijkste beweegelijkheid\".",
"The word \"beweechgelickhijt\" is also argued to mean \"emotion\" or \"motive.\"",
"Whether this refers to objectives, material or otherwise is open to interpretation; either way, critics have drawn particular attention to the way Rembrandt seamlessly melded the earthly and spiritual.",
"Earlier 20th century connoisseurs claimed Rembrandt had produced over 600 paintings, nearly 400 etchings and 2,000 drawings.",
"More recent scholarship, from the 1960s to the present day (led by the Rembrandt Research Project), often controversially, has winnowed his oeuvre to nearer 300 paintings.",
"His prints, traditionally all called etchings, although many are produced in whole or part by engraving and sometimes drypoint, have a much more stable total of slightly under 300.",
"It is likely Rembrandt made many more drawings in his lifetime than 2,000, but those extant are more rare than presumed.",
"Two experts claim that the number of drawings whose autograph status can be regarded as effectively \"certain\" is no higher than about 75, although this is disputed.",
"The list was to be unveiled at a scholarly meeting in February 2010.",
"At one time about ninety paintings were counted as Rembrandt self-portraits, but it is now known that he had his students copy his own self-portraits as part of their training.",
"Modern scholarship has reduced the autograph count to over forty paintings, as well as a few drawings and thirty-one etchings, which include many of the most remarkable images of the group.",
"Some show him posing in quasi-historical fancy dress, or pulling faces at himself.",
"His oil paintings trace the progress from an uncertain young man, through the dapper and very successful portrait-painter of the 1630s, to the troubled but massively powerful portraits of his old age.",
"Together they give a remarkably clear picture of the man, his appearance and his psychological make-up, as revealed by his richly weathered face.",
"In his portraits and self-portraits, he angles the sitter's face in such a way that the ridge of the nose nearly always forms the line of demarcation between brightly illuminated and shadowy areas.",
"A Rembrandt face is a face partially eclipsed; and the nose, bright and obvious, thrusting into the riddle of halftones, serves to focus the viewer's attention upon, and to dramatize, the division between a flood of light—an overwhelming clarity—and a brooding duskiness.",
"In a number of biblical works, including \"The Raising of the Cross\", \"Joseph Telling His Dreams\" and \"The Stoning of Saint Stephen\", Rembrandt painted himself as a character in the crowd.",
"Durham suggests that this was because the Bible was for Rembrandt \"a kind of diary, an account of moments in his own life.",
"\"Among the more prominent characteristics of Rembrandt's work are his use of chiaroscuro, the theatrical employment of light and shadow derived from Caravaggio, or, more likely, from the Dutch Caravaggisti, but adapted for very personal means.",
"Also notable are his dramatic and lively presentation of subjects, devoid of the rigid formality that his contemporaries often displayed, and a deeply felt compassion for mankind, irrespective of wealth and age.",
"His immediate family—his wife Saskia, his son Titus and his common-law wife Hendrickje—often figured prominently in his paintings, many of which had mythical, biblical or historical themes."

"Serve style varies drastically from player to player.",
"Generally, they are divided into two types: offensive and defensive.",
"Most players use an offensive serve for the first serve, and a defensive serve if they need to hit a second serve.",
"Of the offensive serves, the most common is the drive.",
"The intention with this serve is for the ball to travel low and fast towards either back corner, and to bounce twice before striking either side wall or the back wall.",
"If the opponent is adjusting to the drive serve, the server will throw in any variety of jam serves.",
"A \"jam serve\" is an offensive serve which attempts to catch the opponent off balance by making use of difficult angles and unfrequented play space.",
"The most common jam serve is the Z-serve, which strikes the front wall close to a side wall.",
"The ball bounces quickly off the side wall, then strikes the floor and then the opposite side wall about 30–35 feet back.",
"Depending upon the spin the server gives the Z-serve, the resulting carom may prove unpredictable and difficult to return.",
"Side spin may cause the ball to bounce parallel to the back wall.",
"A \"pinch serve\" is similar to a drive serve; however, the ball strikes a side wall very low and close to the serving box.",
"With the appropriate spin, the ball has little bounce, and is difficult to return.",
"It is possible that a successful serve would strike the sidewall before the short line, and land on the floor after the short line.",
"If the player faults on the first serve, they will usually hit a defensive serve.",
"Defensive serves do not usually garner aces, but they are designed to generate a weak return by the opponent, thereby setting up the server to win the point.",
"Most defensive serves are any variety of lob serves.",
"A plain lob serve is a ball hit with a long, high arch into either back corner.",
"The goal is to hit the ball so that it lands as close as possible to the back wall, giving the opponent very little room to hit a solid return.",
"A junk lob takes a shallower arch, and lands close to the side wall somewhere between the dotted line and the back wall.",
"This lob is intended to deceive the opponent into thinking he has an easy kill.",
"However, since the ball is in the deep zone, it will more likely set up the server for an offensive shot."

Poutine

"The \"Dictionnaire historique du français québécois\" lists 15 different meanings of \"poutine\" in Quebec and Acadian French, most of which are for kinds of food; the word \"poutine\" in the meaning \"fries with cheese and gravy\" is dated to 1978.",
"Other definitions of the word have been in use at least since 1810.",
"While the exact provenance of the word \"\"poutine\"\" is uncertain, some of its meanings undoubtedly result at least in part from the influence of the English word \"pudding\".",
"Among its various culinary senses, that of \"a dessert made from flour or bread crumbs\" most clearly shows this influence; the word \"pouding\", borrowed from the English \"pudding\", is in fact a synonym in this sense.",
"The pejorative meaning \"fat person\" of \"poutine\" (used especially in speaking of a woman) is believed to derive from the English \"pudding\" \"a person or thing resembling a pudding\" or \"stout, thick-set person\".",
"In other meanings of \"poutine\", the existence of a relation to the English word \"pudding\" is uncertain.",
"One of these additional meanings — the one from which the name of the dish with fries is thought to derive — is \"unappetizing mixture of various foods, usually leftovers.\"",
"This sense may also have given rise to the meaning \"complicated business, complex organization; set of operations whose management is difficult or problematic.",
"\"The \"Dictionnaire historique\" mentions the possibility that the form \"poutine\" is simply a gallicization of the word \"pudding\".",
"However, it considers it more likely that it was inherited from regional languages spoken in France, and that some of its meanings resulted from the later influence of the similar-sounding English word \"pudding\".",
"It cites the Provençal forms \"poutingo\" \"bad stew\" and \"poutité\" \"hodgepodge\" or \"crushed fruit or foods\"; \"poutringo\" \"mixture of various things\" in Languedocien; and \"poutringue\", \"potringa\" \"bad stew\" in Franche-Comté as possibly related to \"poutine\".",
"The meaning \"fries with cheese and gravy\" of \"poutine\" is among those held as probably unrelated to \"pudding\" provided the latter view is correct."

"To win dive meets, divers create a dive list in advance of the meet.",
"To win the meet the diver must accumulate more points than other divers.",
"Often, simple dives with low DDs will look good to spectators but will not win meets.",
"The competitive diver will attempt the highest DD dives possible with which they can achieve consistent, high scores.",
"If divers are scoring 8 or 9 on most dives, it may be a sign of their extreme skill, or it may be a sign that their dive list is not competitive, and they may lose the meet to a diver with higher DDs and lower scores.",
"In competition, divers must submit their lists beforehand, and once past a deadline (usually when the event is announced or shortly before it begins) they cannot change their dives.",
"If they fail to perform the dive announced, even if they physically cannot execute the dive announced or if they perform a more difficult dive, they will receive a score of zero.",
"Under exceptional circumstances, a redive may be granted, but these are exceedingly rare (usually for very young divers just learning how to compete, or if some event outside the diver's control has caused them to be unable to perform).",
"In the Olympics or other highly competitive meets, many divers will have nearly the same list of dives as their competitors.",
"The importance for divers competing at this level is not so much the DD, but how they arrange their list.",
"Once the more difficult rounds of dives begin it is important to lead off with a confident dive to build momentum.",
"They also tend to put a very confident dive in front of a very difficult dive to ensure that they will have a good mentality for the difficult dive.",
"Most divers have pre-dive and post-dive rituals that help them either maintain or regain focus.",
"Coaches also play a role in this aspect of the sport.",
"Many divers rely on their coaches to help keep their composure during the meet.",
"In a large meet coaches are rarely allowed on the deck to talk to their athlete so it is common to see coaches using hand gestures to communicate.",
"There are some American meets which will allow changes of the position of the dive even after the dive has been announced immediately before execution, but these are an exception to the rules generally observed internationally.",
"Generally, NCAA rules allow for dives to be changed while the diver is on the board, but the diver must request the change directly after the dive is announced.",
"This applies especially in cases where the wrong dive is announced.",
"If the diver pauses during his or her hurdle to ask for a change of dive, it will be declared a balk and the change of dive will not be permitted.",
"Under FINA law, no dive may be changed after the deadline for the dive-sheet to be submitted (generally a period ranging from one hour to 24 hours, depending on the rulings made by the event organiser).",
"It is the diver's responsibility to ensure that the dive-sheet is filled in correctly, and also to correct the referee or announcer before the dive if they describe it incorrectly.",
"If a dive is performed which is as submitted but not as (incorrectly) announced, it is declared failed and scores zero according to a strict reading of the FINA law.",
"But in practice, a re-dive would usually be granted in these circumstances."

"He reworked the original as well as completed numerous preliminary drawings and oil sketches.",
"He sat in the park, creating numerous sketches of the various figures in order to perfect their form.",
"He concentrated on the issues of colour, light, and form.",
"The painting is approximately 2 by 3 meters (7 by 10 feet) in size.",
"Motivated by study in optical and color theory, Seurat contrasted miniature dots or small brushstrokes of colors that when unified optically in the human eye were perceived as a single shade or hue.",
"He believed that this form of painting, called divisionism at the time but now known as pointillism, would make the colors more brilliant and powerful than standard brush strokes.",
"The use of dots of almost uniform size came in the second year of his work on the painting, 1885–86.",
"To make the experience of the painting even more vivid, he surrounded it with a frame of painted dots, which in turn he enclosed with a pure white, wooden frame, which is how the painting is exhibited today at the Art Institute of Chicago.",
"In creating the picture, Seurat employed the then-new pigment zinc yellow (zinc chromate), most visibly for yellow highlights on the lawn in the painting, but also in mixtures with orange and blue pigments.",
"In the century and more since the painting's completion, the zinc yellow has darkened to brown — a colour degeneration that was already showing in the painting in Seurat's lifetime.",
"The island of la Grande Jatte is located at the very gates of Paris, lying in the Seine between Neuilly and Levallois-Perret, a short distance from where currently stands La Défense business district.",
"Although for many years it was an industrial site, it is today the site of a public garden and a housing development.",
"When Seurat began the painting in 1884, the island was a bucolic retreat far from the urban center.",

"The word is taken from Medieval Latin \"vegetabilis\" \"growing, flourishing\" (i.e.",
"of a plant), a semantic change from a Late Latin meaning \"to be enlivening, quickening\", a derivation of the verb \"vegetare\" \"enliven\", which is derived from \"vegetus\" \"to be alive, active\" (related to \"vigor\"), in reference to the process of a plant growing.",
"In 1767, the meaning of the term \"vegetable\" was specified to mean \"plant cultivated for food, edible herb or root.\"",
"The year 1955 noted the first use of the shortened, slang term \"veggie\".",
"As an adjective, the word \"vegetable\" is used in scientific and technical contexts with a different and much broader meaning, namely of \"related to plants\" in general, edible or not — as in \"vegetable matter\", \"vegetable kingdom\", \"vegetable origin\", etc.",

"Mexico has had a tradition of painting murals, starting with the Olmec civilization in the pre Hispanic period and into the colonial period, with murals mostly painted to evangelize and reinforce Christian doctrine.",
"The modern tradition has its roots in the 19th century, with this use of political and social themes.",
"The first Mexican mural painter to use philosophical themes in his work was Juan Cordero in the mid 19th century.",
"Although he did mostly work with religious themes such as the cupola of the Santa Teresa Church and other churches, he painted a secular mural at the request of Gabino Barreda at the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria (since disappeared).",
"The latter 19th century was dominated politically by the Porfirio Díaz regime.",
"This government was the first to push for the cultural development of the country, supporting the Academy of San Carlos and sending promising artists abroad to study.",
"However, this effort left out indigenous culture and people, with aim of making Mexico like Europe.",
"Gerardo Murillo, also known as Dr. Atl, is considered to be the first modern Mexican muralists with the idea that Mexican art should reflect Mexican life.",
"Academy training and the government had only promoted imitations of European art.",
"Atl and other early muralists pressured the Diaz government to allow them to paint on building walls to escape this formalism.",
"Atl also organized an independent exhibition of native Mexican artists promoting many indigenous and national themes along with color schemes that would later appear in mural painting.",
"The first modern Mexican mural, painted by Atl, was a series of female nudes using “Atlcolor” a substance Atl invented himself, very shortly before the beginning of the Mexican Revolution .",
"Another influence on the young artists of the late Porfirian period was the graphic work of José Guadalupe Posada, who mocked European styles and created cartoons with social and political criticism.",
"The Mexican Revolution itself was the culmination of political and social opposition to Porfirio Díaz policies.",
"One important oppositional group was a small intellectual community that included Antonio Curo, Alfonso Reyes and José Vasconcelos.",
"They promoted a populist philosophy that coincided with the social and political criticism of Atl and Posada and influenced the next generation of painters such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros.",
"These ideas gained power as a result of the Mexican Revolution, which overthrew the Díaz regime in less than a year.",
"However, there was nearly a decade of fighting among the various factions vying for power.",
"Governments changed frequently with a number of assassination, including that of Francisco I. Madero who initiated the struggle.",
"It ended in the early 1920s with one-party rule in the hands of the Álvaro Obregón faction, which became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).",
"During the Revolution, Atl supported the Carranza faction and promoted the work of Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros, who would later be the founders of the muralism movement.",
"Through the war and until 1921, Atl continued to paint murals among other activities including teaching the Mexico’s next generation of artists and muralists."

Dangerous play and raised balls

What are the dangers of a jab tackle?

"According to the current Rules of Hockey 2013 issued by the FIH there are only two criteria for a dangerously played ball.",
"The first is legitimate evasive action by an opponent (what constitutes legitimate evasive action is an umpiring judgment).",
"The second is specific to the rule concerning a shot at goal at a penalty corner but is generally, if somewhat inconsistently, applied throughout the game and in all parts of the pitch: it is that a ball lifted above knee height and at an opponent who is within 5m of the ball is certainly dangerous.",
"The velocity of the ball is not mentioned in the rules concerning a dangerously played ball.",
"A ball that hits a player above the knee may on some occasions not be penalized, this is in the umpire's discretion.",
"A jab tackle for example, might accidentally lift the ball above knee height into an opponent from close range but at such low velocity as not to be, in the opinion of the umpire, dangerous play.",
"In the same way a high velocity hit at very close range into an opponent, but below knee height, could be considered to be dangerous or reckless play in the view of the umpire, especially when safer alternatives are open to the striker of the ball.",
"A ball that has been lifted high so that it will fall among close opponents may be deemed to be potentially dangerous and play may be stopped for that reason.",
"A lifted ball that is falling to a player in clear space may be made potentially dangerous by the actions of an opponent closing to within 5m of the receiver before the ball has been controlled to ground – a rule which is often only loosely applied; the distance allowed is often only what might be described as playing distance, 2–3 m, and opponents tend to be permitted to close on the ball as soon as the receiver plays it: these unofficial variations are often based on the umpire's perception of the skill of the players i.e.",
"on the level of the game, in order to maintain game flow, which umpires are in general in both Rules and Briefing instructed to do, by not penalising when it is unnecessary to do so, this is also a matter in the umpire's discretion.",
"The term \"falling ball\" is important in what may be termed encroaching offences.",
"It is generally only considered an offence to encroach on an opponent receiving a lifted ball that has been lifted to above head height (although the height is not specified in rule) and is falling.",
"So, for example, a lifted shot at the goal which is still rising as it crosses the goal line (or would have been rising as it crossed the goal line) can be legitimately followed up by any of the attacking team looking for a rebound.",
"In general even potentially dangerous play is not penalised if an opponent is not disadvantage by it or, obviously, not injured by it so that he cannot continue.",
"A personal penalty, that is a caution or a suspension, rather than a team penalty, such as a free ball or a penalty corner, may be (many would say should be or even must be, but again this is in the umpire's discretion) issued to the guilty party after an advantage allowed by the umpire has been played out in any situation where an offence has occurred, including dangerous play (but once advantage has been allowed the umpire cannot then call play back and award a team penalty).",
"It is not an offence to lift the ball over an opponent's stick (or body on the ground), provided that it is done with consideration for the safety of the opponent and not dangerously.",
"For example, a skillful attacker may lift the ball over a defenders stick or prone body and run past them, however if the attacker lifts the ball into or at the defender's body, this would almost certainly be regarded as dangerous.",
"It is not against the rules to bounce the ball on the stick and even to run with it while doing so, as long as that does not lead to a potentially dangerous conflict with an opponent who is attempting to make a tackle.",
"For example, two players trying to play at the ball in the air at the same time, would probably be considered a dangerous situation and it is likely that the player who first put the ball up or who was so 'carrying' it would be penalised.",
"Dangerous play rules also apply to the usage of the stick when approaching the ball, making a stroke at it (replacing what was at one time referred to as the \"sticks\" rule, which once forbade the raising of any part of the stick above the shoulder during any play.",
"This last restriction has been removed but the stick should still not be used in a way that endangers an opponent) or attempting to tackle, (fouls relating to tripping, impeding and obstruction).",
"The use of the stick to strike an opponent will usually be much more severely dealt with by the umpires than offences such as barging, impeding and obstruction with the body, although these are also dealt with firmly, especially when these fouls are intentional: field hockey is a non-contact sport.",
"Players may not play or attempt to play at the ball above their shoulders unless trying to save a shot that could go into the goal, in which case they are permitted to stop the ball or deflect it safely away.",
"A swing, as in a hit, at a high shot at the goal (or even wide of the goal) will probably be considered dangerous play if at opponents within 5 m and such a stroke would be contrary to rule in these circumstances anyway.",
"Within the English National League it is now a legal action to take a ball above shoulder height if completed using a controlled action."

"They are the principal means of transportation in many parts of the world.",
"Cycling is widely regarded as a very effective and efficient mode of transportation optimal for short to moderate distances.",
"Bicycles provide numerous benefits by comparison with motor vehicles, including the sustained physical exercise necessarily involved in cycling, that cycling involves a reduced consumption of fossil fuels, less air or noise pollution, much reduced traffic congestion, easier parking, greater maneuverability, and access to both roads and paths.",
"The advantages also include reduced financial cost to the user as well as to society at large (negligible damage to roads, less road area required).",
"Among the disadvantages of cycling are the inherent instability of the bicycle, the immensely reduced protection in crashes (especially in collisions with motor vehicles), longer travel time (except in densely populated areas), vulnerability to weather conditions, difficulty in transporting passengers, competition (and interference) with socially beneficial forms of mass public transit, a persistent tendency for cyclists to intrude into pedestrian areas, and the particular levels of skill and fitness required by cycling."

"Black body radiation provided another problem for classical physics, which was corrected when Planck proposed that light comes in individual packets known as photons; this, along with the photoelectric effect and a complete theory predicting discrete energy levels of electron orbitals, led to the theory of quantum mechanics taking over from classical physics at very small scales.",

"",
"\"Part of Me\" is a power pop song set to a house beat.",
"It is composed in the key of D minor and set in a 4/4 time signature at a tempo of 130 beats per minute.",
"The melody spans the tonal range of D4 to D5, while the music follows the chord progression of Dm–F–Bb-C. Production was done by Perry's frequent collaborator, Dr. Luke.",
"The song begins with Perry's somber and emotional delivery of the line, \"Days like this I want to drive away/ Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade.\"",
"At the bridge, the beat amplifies and Perry's lyrics become more aggressive as she commands \"Now Look at Me!",
"\", signalling to her ex that she is still strong, regardless of what he tries to do to bring her down.",
"The beat reaches a peak at the chorus, and Perry's tone and the song's lyrics become more aggressive and prominent as she sings, \"This is the Part of me that you're never-ever gonna take away from me.\"",
"As the song continues, Perry's lyrics become strong and empowered: \"So you can keep the diamond ring/ It don't mean nothing anyway/ In fact you can keep everything Yeah/ Yeah Except for me\".",
"Perry repeats the ending chorus as the beat fades.",
"James Dinh of MTV noted that \"the pop star appears strong, bold and just a tad resentful after a breakup\" on the track.",
"His analysis of the lyrics observed that \"The singer declares herself unbreakable after a breakup, evident in lines such as \"Days like this I want to drive away/ Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade/ 'Cause you chewed me up and spit me out/ Like I was poison in your mouth/ You took my light, you drained me down/ But that was then and this is now, now look at me.\"",
"Dinh pointed out similarities between \"Part of Me\" and Perry's previous single \"California Gurls\", noting that \"the tune's steady beat amplifies\" as the chorus starts.",
"Andrew Hampp of \"Billboard\" described the song as a \"dance-floor rave up\", and compared the song's composition to Jessie J's \"Domino\".",
"Edna Gundersen from\" USA Today\" stated: \"Katy Perry could be addressing her ex or her detractors on this defiant slapdown, a gleaming \"Firework\"-like pop torpedo propelled by slick beats and a brazen chorus.\"",
"Chris Ryan, also of MTV, inferred that the song was aimed at Perry's ex-boyfriend Travie McCoy, while \"New York\" magazine journalist Amanda Dobbis described it as \"another break-up anthem\".",
"Fans and media noted differences in the lyrics between the demo and the single, and claimed that the changes redirected the song's subject from McCoy to Perry's ex-husband Russell Brand, from whom she had recently divorced.",
"Perry declared it was not about Brand, stating:I wrote it two years ago, which is funny because everybody is like \"God, it sounds so current,\" and some people that I work with were like \"You should just say you wrote it a couple of weeks ago.\"",
"I'm like \"I'm not a dick, I'm going to tell the truth.\"",
"I wrote it two years ago when I was writing and recording Teenage Dream, it didn't feel right on the record.",
"I would've had to take out one of my other songs that [made the album a nice, complete package."

"Viral enzymes aid in the breakdown of the cell membrane, and, in the case of the T4 phage, in just over twenty minutes after injection over three hundred phages could be released.",
"The major way bacteria defend themselves from bacteriophages is by producing enzymes that destroy foreign DNA.",
"These enzymes, called restriction endonucleases, cut up the viral DNA that bacteriophages inject into bacterial cells.",
"Bacteria also contain a system that uses CRISPR sequences to retain fragments of the genomes of viruses that the bacteria have come into contact with in the past, which allows them to block the virus's replication through a form of RNA interference.",
"This genetic system provides bacteria with acquired immunity to infection."

"Among the works created by Leonardo in the 16th century is the small portrait known as the \"Mona Lisa\" or \"la Gioconda\", the laughing one.",
"In the present era it is arguably the most famous painting in the world.",
"Its fame rests, in particular, on the elusive smile on the woman's face, its mysterious quality brought about perhaps by the fact that the artist has subtly shadowed the corners of the mouth and eyes so that the exact nature of the smile cannot be determined.",
"The shadowy quality for which the work is renowned came to be called \"sfumato\" or Leonardo's smoke.",
"Vasari, who is generally thought to have known the painting only by repute, said that \"the smile was so pleasing that it seemed divine rather than human; and those who saw it were amazed to find that it was as alive as the original\".",
"Other characteristics found in this work are the unadorned dress, in which the eyes and hands have no competition from other details, the dramatic landscape background in which the world seems to be in a state of flux, the subdued colouring and the extremely smooth nature of the painterly technique, employing oils, but laid on much like tempera and blended on the surface so that the brushstrokes are indistinguishable.",
"Vasari expressed the opinion that the manner of painting would make even \"the most confident master ... despair and lose heart.\"",
"The perfect state of preservation and the fact that there is no sign of repair or overpainting is rare in a panel painting of this date.",
"In the painting \"Virgin and Child with St. Anne\" the composition again picks up the theme of figures in a landscape which Wasserman describes as \"breathtakingly beautiful\" and harkens back to the St Jerome picture with the figure set at an oblique angle.",
"What makes this painting unusual is that there are two obliquely set figures superimposed.",
"Mary is seated on the knee of her mother, St Anne.",
"She leans forward to restrain the Christ Child as he plays roughly with a lamb, the sign of his own impending sacrifice.",
"This painting, which was copied many times, influenced Michelangelo, Raphael, and Andrea del Sarto, and through them Pontormo and Correggio.",

[

[
"Less common are closed circuit (CCR) and semi-closed (SCR) rebreathers, which unlike open-circuit sets that vent off all exhaled gases, process all or part of each exhaled breath for re-use by removing the carbon dioxide and replacing the oxygen used by the diver.",
"Rebreathers release little or no gas bubbles into the water, and use much less stored gas volume, for an equivalent depth and time because exhaled oxygen is recovered; this has advantages for research, military, photography, and other applications.",
"Rebreathers are more complex and more expensive than open-circuit scuba, and special training and correct maintenance are required for them to be safely used, due to the larger variety of potential failure modes.",
"In a closed-circuit rebreather the oxygen partial pressure in the rebreather is controlled, so it can be maintained at a safe continuous maximum, which reduces the inert gas (nitrogen and/or helium) partial pressure in the breathing loop.",
"Minimising the inert gas loading of the diver's tissues for a given dive profile reduces the decompression obligation.",
"This requires continuous monitoring of actual partial pressures with time and for maximum effectiveness requires real-time computer processing by the diver's decompression computer.",
"Decompression can be much reduced compared to fixed ratio gas mixes used in other scuba systems and, as a result, divers can stay down longer or require less time to decompress.",
"A semi-closed circuit rebreather injects a constant mass flow of a fixed breathing gas mixture into the breathing loop, or replaces a specific percentage of the respired volume, so the partial pressure of oxygen at any time during the dive depends on the diver's oxygen consumption and/or breathing rate.",
"Planning decompression requirements requires a more conservative approach for a SCR than for a CCR, but decompression computers with a real time oxygen partial pressure input can optimise decompression for these systems.",
"Because rebreathers produce very few bubbles, they do not disturb marine life or make a diver’s presence known at the surface; this is useful for underwater photography, and for covert work."

"Luc Dardenne said that he and his brother Jean-Pierre had for a long time had the idea of a film about \"a woman who helps a boy emerge from the violence that holds him prisoner.\"",

"By not explaining much about the characters' past and psychology, the brothers aimed to avoid sentimentality.",

"It received further funding from the CNC, Eurimages, Wallimage, Radio Télévision Belge de la Communauté Française, and the Belgian French Community.Cécile de France was offered the role of Samantha soon after the screenplay was finished, as the brothers believed she would be able to portray the kindness of the character with her body and face alone.",

"\"Batman Begins\" has received positive reviews from critics.",
"Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 85% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 263 reviews, with an average score of 7.7/10, making the film a \"Certified Fresh\" on the website's rating system.",
"At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 70, based on 41 reviews, which indicates \"generally favorable reviews\".",
"Additionally, the film was a success with audiences who, when polled by CinemaScore, awarded the film an A grade.",
"James Berardinelli applauded Nolan and Goyer's work creating more understanding into \"who is and what motivates him\", something Berardinelli felt Tim Burton's film lacked; at the same time, Berardinelli felt the romantic aspect between Bale and Holmes did not work because the actors lacked the chemistry Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder (\"Superman\"), or Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst (\"Spider-Man\") shared in their respective roles.",
"According to \"Total Film\", Nolan manages to create such strong characters and story that the third-act action sequences cannot compare to \"the frisson of two people talking\", and Katie Holmes and Christian Bale's romantic subplot has a spark \"refreshingly free of Peter Parker/Mary Jane-style whining\".",
"\"Los Angeles Times\" Kenneth Turan, who felt the film began slowly, stated that the \"story, psychology and reality, not special effects\", assisted the darkness behind Batman's arsenal; he noted that Neeson and Holmes, unlike Bale's ability to \"feel his role in his bones\", do not appear to fit their respective characters in \"being both comic-book archetypes and real people\".",
"\"The New Yorker\" David Denby did not share Berardinelli and Turan's opinion.",
"He was unimpressed with the film, when comparing it to the two Tim Burton films, and that Christian Bale's presence was hindered by the \"dull earnestness of the screenplay\", the final climax was \"cheesy and unexciting\", and that Nolan had resorted to imitating the \"fakery\" used by other filmmakers when filming action sequences.",
"Michael Wilmington of the \"Chicago Tribune\" believed Nolan and Goyer managed to \"comfortably mix the tormented drama and revenge motifs with light hearted gags and comic book allusions,\" and that Nolan takes the series out of the \"slam-bang Hollywood jokefests\" the franchise had drifted into.",
"Comic book scribe and editor Dennis O'Neil stated that he \"felt the filmmakers really understood the character they were translating\", citing this film as the best of the live-action \"Batman\" films.",
"In contrast, J.R. Jones, from the \"Chicago Reader\", criticized the script, and Nolan and David Goyer for not living up to the \"hype about exploring Batman's damaged psyche\".",
"Roger Ebert, who gave mixed reviews to the previous films, wrote this was \"the \"Batman\" movie I've been waiting for; more correctly, this is the movie I did not realize I was waiting for\".",
"Giving it four out of four stars, he commended the realistic portrayals of the Batman arsenal – the Batsuit, Batcave, Tumbler, and the Batsignal – as well as the focus on \"the story and character\" with less stress on \"high-tech action\".",
"Like Berardinelli, \"USA Today\"s Mike Clark thought Bale performed the role of Batman as well as he did Patrick Bateman in \"American Psycho\", but that the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes was \"frustratingly underdeveloped\".",
"Kyle Smith thought Bale exhibited \"both the menace and the wit he showed in his brilliant turn in \"American Psycho\"\", and that the film works so well because of the realism, stating, \"Batman starts stripping away each layer of Gotham crime only to discover a sicker and more monstrous evil beneath, his rancid city simultaneously invokes early '90s New York, when criminals frolicked to the tune of five murders a day; \"Serpico\" New York, when cops were for sale; and today, when psychos seek to kill us all at once rather than one by one.\"",
"In contrast, Salon.com's Stephanie Zacharek felt Nolan did not deliver the emotional depth expected of \"one of the most soulful and tortured superheroes of all\"; she thought Bale, unlike Michael Keaton whom she compared him to, failed to connect with the audience underneath the mask, but that Gary Oldman succeeded in \"emotional complexity\" where the rest of the movie failed.",
"Film director Tim Burton felt Nolan \"captured the real spirit that these kind of movies are supposed to have nowadays.",
"When I did \"Batman\" twenty years ago, in 1988 or something, it was a different time in comic book movies.",
"You couldn't go into that dark side of comics yet.",
"The last couple of years that has become acceptable and Nolan certainly got more to the root of what the \"Batman\" comics are about.\""
