"The name \"brownie\" first appeared in the 1896 version of the cookbook, but this was in reference to molasses cakes baked individually in tin molds, not true brownies.",
"A second recipe appeared in 1907 in \"Lowney’s Cook Book\", by Maria Willet Howard and published by the Walter M. Lowney Company of Boston, Massachusetts.",
"This recipe added an extra egg and an additional square of chocolate to the Boston Cooking School recipe, creating a richer, fudgier brownie.",

"In 1911, the painting was acquired by the Städel (Städtische Galerie) in Frankfurt, Germany and hung there until 1933, when the painting was put in a hidden room.",
"The Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda confiscated the work in 1937 as part of its campaign to rid Germany of so-called degenerate art, leading to Hermann Göring hurriedly selling it to a dealer in Amsterdam.",
"The dealer in turn sold it to collector Siegfried Kramarsky, who brought it with him when he fled to New York, where the work was often lent to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.",
"Kramarsky's family put the painting up for auction at Christie's New York on May 15, 1990, where it became famous for Ryoei Saito, honorary chairman of Daishowa Paper Manufacturing Co., paying US$82.5 million for it, making it then the world's most expensive painting.",
"Remarkably, two days later Saito would buy Renoir's Bal du moulin de la Galette for a nearly-as-much $78.1 million at Sotheby's.",
"The 75-year old Japanese businessman briefly caused a scandal when he said he would have the Van Gogh painting cremated with him after his death, though his aides later claimed Saito threatening to torch the masterpiece was just an expression of intense affection for it.",
"Though he later said he would consider giving the painting to the Japanese government or a museum, no information has been made public about the exact location and ownership of the portrait since his death in 1996.",
"Reports in 2007 have claimed the painting was sold a decade earlier to the Austrian-born investment fund manager Wolfgang Flöttl.",

"Schwartz praised the song's lyrics as well, describing them as \"beautifully phrased,\" and calling Carey's voice \"gorgeous\" and \"sincere.\"",
"Bill Lamb from About.com called it a \"contemporary classic.\"",

"While reviewing the 2009 remix version, Becky Bain from Idolator called the song a \"timeless classic\" and wrote, \"We love the original song to pieces—we blast it while decorating our Christmas tree and lighting our Menorah.\"",
"In his review for Carey's \"Merry Christmas II You\", Thomas Connor from the \"Chicago Sun-Times\" called the song \"a simple, well-crafted chestnut and one of the last great additions to the Christmas pop canon\".",
"Shona Craven of Scotland's \"The Herald\", said, \"[it's] a song of optimism and joy that maybe, just maybe, hints at the real meaning of Christmas.\"",
"Additionally, she felt the main reason it was so successful is the subject \"you\" in the lyrics, explaining, \"Perhaps what makes the song such a huge hit is the fact that it's for absolutely everyone.\"",
"Craven opened her review with a bold statement: \"Bing Crosby may well be turning in his grave, but no child of the 1980s will be surprised to see Mariah Carey's sublime All I Want For Christmas Is You bounding up the charts after being named the nation's top festive song.\"",
"In a 2006 retrospective look at Carey's career, Sasha Frere-Jones of \"The New Yorker\" said, the \"charming\" song was one of Carey's biggest accomplishments, calling it \"one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon\".",
"Dan Hancox, editor of \"The National\", quoted and agreed with Jones' statement, calling the song \"perfection\".",
"In 2010, \"Rolling Stone\" ranked \"All I Want for Christmas Is You\" fourth on its Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs list, calling it a \"holiday standard.\""

"Jonathan Romney wrote in \"Screen Daily\": \"After the slightly sub-par \"Lorna's Silence\" (2008), the brothers are back on peerless form with this story of innocence betrayed and befriended, which must count as one of the best films about childhood since \"Kes\" – or for that matter \"Bicycle Thieves\", to which it surely nods.\"",
"Romney further commented: \"Shooting as usual with cinematographer Alain Marcoen, and in their familiar stamping ground of Seraing, the brothers this time bring a somewhat different, airier look to their locations, more suburban than in the past.",
"Marcoen's camerawork, also, is rather more free-wheeling than the tightly constrained (and often imitated) tightness of \"The Son\".\"",

"Upon its March 2012 UK release, Peter Bradshaw gave it (four stars out of 5) and said it \"revive the memory of De Sica's 1948 classic \"Bicycle Thieves\"\"; it is a \"heartfelt, boldly direct film composed in the social-realist key signature of C major, revisiting the film-makers' classic themes of parenthood, trust and love.",

"The Habsburgs, who ruled Spain, Austria, Slovene Lands, the Spanish Netherlands and much of Germany and Italy, were staunch defenders of the Roman Catholic Church.",
"Some historians believe that the era of the Reformation came to a close when Roman Catholic France allied itself, first in secret and later on the battlefields, with Protestant states against the Habsburg dynasty.",
"For the first time since the days of Luther, political and national convictions again outweighed religious convictions in Europe.",
"The main tenets of the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War, were:",
" All parties would now recognise the Peace of Augsburg of 1555, by which each prince would have the right to determine the religion of his own state, the options being Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, and now Calvinism (the principle of \"cuius regio, eius religio\")",
" Christians living in principalities where their denomination was \"not\" the established church were guaranteed the right to practice their faith in public during allotted hours and in private at their will.",
"The treaty also effectively ended the papacy's pan-European political power.",
"Fully aware of the loss, Pope Innocent X declared the treaty \"null, void, invalid, iniquitous, unjust, damnable, reprobate, inane, empty of meaning and effect for all times.\"",
"European sovereigns, Roman Catholic and Protestant alike, ignored his verdict.",
"However, this treaty did not mean that the Reformation concluded.",
"It would be about another century (ca.",
"1750) before the Reformation could truly be considered to have ended.",
"Meanwhile, other reform movements continued to spring up, even within the Reformation churches.",
"One such movement was Pietism, which impacted the Low Countries (hence the Reformed churches), Germany (hence also Lutheranism), and Great Britain, which led to a split in Lutheranism and which brought about the creation of some new churches (most notably the Moravian Church and Methodism).",
"In turn, Pietism would branch out into a \"normative\" form and Radical Pietism.",
"The Reformation had a wide-ranging influence on personal life.",
"In fashion, for instance, it led to a more sober and dignified, less wasteful esthetics.",
"Further impact on the Reformation came from the Age of Enlightenment, and its preponderance of Rationalism.",
"This would lead to redefined roles for religion, eventually relegating it to second-class status.",
"In \"The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism\", Max Weber first suggested that cultural values could affect economic success, arguing that the Protestant Reformation led to values that drove people toward worldly achievements, a hard work ethic, and saving to accumulate wealth for investment.",
"The new religions (in particular, Calvinism and other more austere Protestant groups) effectively forbade wastefully using hard earned money and identified the purchase of luxuries a sin."

Rivalry with Matisse

In what place did Matisse reveal his painting "Blue Nude", shocking the public?
|
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
| true | 3ART
|
[

[
"The Salon d'Automne of 1905 brought notoriety and attention to the works of Henri Matisse and the Les Fauves group.",
"The latter gained their name after critic Louis Vauxcelles described their work with the phrase \"Donatello au milieu des fauves!\"",
"(\"Donatello among the wild beasts\"), contrasting the paintings with a Renaissance-type sculpture that shared the room with them.",
"Henri Rousseau (1844–1910), an artist that Picasso knew and admired and who was not a Fauve, had his large jungle scene \"The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope\" also hanging near the works by Matisse and which may have had an influence on the particular sarcastic term used in the press.",
"Vauxcelles' comment was printed on 17 October 1905 in the daily newspaper \"Gil Blas\", and passed into popular usage.",
"Although the pictures were widely derided—\"A pot of paint has been flung in the face of the public\", declared the critic Camille Mauclair (1872–1945)—they also attracted some favorable attention.",
"The painting that was singled out for the most attacks was Matisse's \"Woman with a Hat\"; the purchase of this work by Gertrude and Leo Stein had a very positive effect on Matisse, who was suffering demoralization from the bad reception of his work.",
"Matisse's notoriety and preeminence as the leader of the new movement in modern painting continued to build throughout 1906 and 1907, and Matisse attracted a following of artists including Georges Braque (1880–1963), André Derain (1880–1954), Maurice de Vlaminck (1876–1958).",
"Picasso's work had passed through his Blue period and his Rose period and while he had a considerable following his reputation was tame in comparison to his rival Matisse.",
"To make matters worse Matisse shocked the French public again at the 1907 Société des Artistes Indépendants when he exhibited his painting \"Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra),\" completed in early 1907.",
"The \"Blue Nude\" was one of the paintings that would later create an international sensation at the Armory Show of 1913 in New York City.",
"By the spring of 1907 when he began to paint \"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon\", until its completion later in the year, Picasso was vying with Matisse for the preeminent position of being the perceived new leader of Modern painting.",
"Upon its completion the shock and the impact of the painting propelled Picasso into the center of controversy and all but knocked Matisse and Fauvism off the map, virtually ending the movement by the following year.",
"In 1907 Picasso joined the art gallery that had recently been opened in Paris by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler (1884–1979).",
"Kahnweiler was a German art historian, art collector who became one of the premier French art dealers of the 20th century.",
"He became prominent in Paris beginning in 1907 for being among the first champions of Pablo Picasso, and especially his painting \"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.\"",
"Before 1910 Picasso was already being recognized as one of the important leaders of Modern art alongside Henri Matisse who had been the undisputed leader of Fauvism and who was more than ten years older than he was and his contemporaries the Fauvist André Derain and the former Fauvist and fellow Cubist, Georges Braque.",
"In his 1992 essay \"Reflections on Matisse\", the art critic Hilton Kramer wrote, ",
"After the impact of \"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon\", however, Matisse was never again mistaken for an avant-garde incendiary.",
"With the bizarre painting that appalled and electrified the cognoscenti, which understood the \"Les Demoiselles\" was at once a response to Matisse's \"Le bonheur de vivre\" (1905–1906) and an assault upon the tradition from which it derived, Picasso effectively appropriated the role of avant-garde \"wild beast\"—a role that, as far as public opinion was concerned, he was never to relinquish.",
"Kramer goes on to say, ",
"Whereas Matisse had drawn upon a long tradition of European painting—from Giorgione, Poussin, and Watteau to Ingres, Cézanne, and Gauguin—to create a modern version of a pastoral paradise in \"Le bonheur de vivre\", Picasso had turned to an alien tradition of primitive art to create in \"Les Demoiselles\" a netherworld of strange gods and violent emotions.",
"As between the mythological nymphs of \"Le bonheur de vivre\" and the grotesque effigies of \"Les Demoiselles,\" there was no question as to which was the more shocking or more intended to be shocking.",
"Picasso had unleashed a vein of feeling that was to have immense consequences for the art and culture of the modern era while Matisse's ambition came to seem, as he said in his \"Notes of a Painter,\" more \"limited\"—limited that is, to the realm of aesthetic pleasure.",
"There was thus opened up, in the very first decade of the century and in the work of its two greatest artists, the chasm that has continued to divide the art of the modern era down to our own time.",

"Zhou Yu had previously observed that Cao Cao's generals and soldiers comprised mostly cavalry and infantry, and few had any experience in naval warfare.",
"Cao Cao also had little support among the people of Jing Province, and thus lacked a secure forward base of operations .",
"Despite the strategic acumen Cao Cao had displayed in earlier campaigns and battles, in this case he had simply assumed that numerical superiority would eventually defeat the Sun and Liu navy.",
"Cao's first tactical mistake was converting his massive army of infantry and cavalry into a marine corps and navy: with only a few days of drills before the battle, Cao Cao's troops were ravaged by sea-sickness and lack of experience on water.",
"Tropical diseases, to which the southerners had long been immune, also plagued the soldiers of the north with the debilitating effects of sickness rampant in Cao Cao's camps.",
"Although numerous, Cao Cao's men were already exhausted by the unfamiliar environment and the extended southern campaign, as Zhuge Liang observed: \"Even a powerful arrow at the end of its flight cannot penetrate a silk cloth\" (Military Documents 1979:193).",
"The uncharacteristically poor preparation and miscalculations displayed by Cao Cao during this campaign may have been partly due to the recent death of his strategist and advisor Guo Jia.",
"Cao Cao himself had commented: \"Had Guo Jia been with us, I would never have got into such trouble\" .",
"Another key advisor, Jia Xu, had recommended after the surrender of Liu Cong that the overtaxed armies be given time to rest and replenish before engaging the armies of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, but Cao Cao disregarded the advice .",
"Cao Cao's own thoughts regarding his failure at Red Cliffs suggest that he held his own actions and misfortunes responsible for the defeat, rather than the strategies utilised by his enemy during the battle: \"... it was only because of the sickness that I burnt my ships and retreated.",

"The Earth is constantly immersed in the solar wind, a rarefied flow of hot plasma (gas of free electrons and positive ions) emitted by the Sun in all directions, a result of the two-million-degree heat of the Sun's outermost layer, the corona.",
"The solar wind usually reaches Earth with a velocity around 400 km/s, density around 5 ions/cm3 and magnetic field intensity around 2–5 nT (nanoteslas; Earth's surface field is typically 30,000–50,000 nT).",
"These are typical values.",
"During magnetic storms, in particular, flows can be several times faster; the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) may also be much stronger.",
"The IMF originates on the Sun, related to the field of sunspots, and its field lines (lines of force) are dragged out by the solar wind.",
"That alone would tend to line them up in the Sun-Earth direction, but the rotation of the Sun skews them (at Earth) by about 45 degrees, so that field lines passing Earth may actually start near the western edge (\"limb\") of the visible Sun.",
"Earth's magnetosphere is formed by the impact of the solar wind on the Earth's magnetic field.",
"It forms an obstacle to the solar wind, diverting it, at an average distance of about 70,000 km (11 Earth radii or Re), forming a bow shock 12,000 km to 15,000 km (1.9 to 2.4 Re) further upstream.",
"The width of the magnetosphere abreast of Earth, is typically 190,000 km (30 Re), and on the night side a long \"magnetotail\" of stretched field lines extends to great distances (> 200 Re).",
"The magnetosphere is full of trapped plasma as the solar wind passes the Earth.",
"The flow of plasma into the magnetosphere increases with increases in solar wind density and speed, with increase in the southward component of the IMF and with increases in turbulence in the solar wind flow.",
"The flow pattern of magnetospheric plasma is from the magnetotail toward the Earth, around the Earth and back into the solar wind through the magnetopause on the day-side.",
"In addition to moving perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field, some magnetospheric plasma travel down along the Earth's magnetic field lines and lose energy to the atmosphere in the auroral zones.",
"Magnetospheric electrons accelerated downward by field-aligned electric fields cause the bright aurora features.",
"The un-accelerated electrons and ions cause the dim glow of the diffuse aurora."
