"The main chord progression is \"flipped on its head\" for the coda since the C chord is replaced by E-flat.",
"Author Tim Riley notes, \"As Ringo offers a restrained tom-tom and cymbal fill, the piano shifts downward to add a flat seventh to the tonic chord, making the downbeat of the bridge the point of arrival ('And any time you feel the \"pain\"').\"",
"At the end of each bridge, McCartney sings a brief phrase (\"Na-na-na na ...\") and plays a piano fill which leads to the next verse; the phrase McCartney sings serves to \"reorient the harmony for the verse as the piano figure turns upside down into a vocal aside.\"",
"Additional details, such as tambourine on the third verse and subtle harmonies that accompany the lead vocal, are added to sustain the interest of the listener throughout the four-verse, two-bridge song.",
"The verse-bridge structure of the song persists for approximately three minutes, after which the band leads into a four-minute-long coda.",
"During the coda, the rest of the band, backed by an orchestra that also provides backing vocals, repeats the phrase \"Na-na-na na\" followed by the words \"hey Jude\" until the song gradually fades out.",
"\"Time\" magazine described the coda as \"a fadeout that engagingly spoofs the fadeout as a gimmick for ending pop records.\"",
"Riley notes the repeated chord progression of the coda (I-VII-IV-I) \"answers all the musical questions raised at the beginnings and ends of bridges,\" for \"The flat seventh that pose dominant turns into bridges now has an entire chord built on it.\"",
"This three-chord refrain allows McCartney \"a bedding ... to leap about on vocally\", so he ad-libs his vocal performance for the rest of the song.",
"Riley concludes that the song \"becomes a tour of Paul's vocal range: from the graceful inviting tones of the opening verse, through the mounting excitement of the song itself, to the surging raves of the coda.\""

"\"Part of Me\" is a power pop song set to a house beat.",

"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.",

"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.\"",

"Infrared astronomy is founded on the detection and analysis of infrared radiation (wavelengths longer than red light).",
"The infrared spectrum is useful for studying objects that are too cold to radiate visible light, such as planets, circumstellar disks or nebulae whose light is blocked by dust.",
"Longer infrared wavelengths can penetrate clouds of dust that block visible light, allowing the observation of young stars in molecular clouds and the cores of galaxies.",
"Observations from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have been particularly effective at unveiling numerous Galactic protostars and their host star clusters.",
"With the exception of wavelengths close to visible light, infrared radiation is heavily absorbed by the atmosphere, or masked, as the atmosphere itself produces significant infrared emission.",
"Consequently, infrared observatories have to be located in high, dry places or in space.",
"Some molecules radiate strongly in the infrared.",
"This allows the study the chemistry of space; more specifically it can detect water in comets."

"Occasional deaths have been reported when people have slipped over the rock barrier.",
"The numbers of visitors to the Zimbabwean side of the falls has historically been much higher than the number visiting the Zambia side, due to the greater development of the visitor facilities there.",
"However, the number of tourists visiting Zimbabwe began to decline in the early 2000s as political tensions between supporters and opponents of president Robert Mugabe increased.",
"In 2006, hotel occupancy on the Zimbabwean side hovered at around 30%, while the Zambian side was at near-capacity, with rates in top hotels reaching US$630 per night.",
"The rapid development has prompted the United Nations to consider revoking the Falls' status as a World Heritage Site.",

"The ancestor of modern fencing originated in Spain, where several books on fencing were written.",
"\"Treatise on Arms\" was written by Diego de Valera between 1458 and 1471 and is one of the oldest surviving manuals on western fencing shortly before dueling came under official ban by the Catholic Monarchs.",
"In conquest, the Spanish forces carried fencing around the world, particularly southern Italy, one of the major areas of strife between both nations.",
"The mechanics of modern fencing originated in the 18th century in an Italian school of fencing of the Renaissance, and, under their influence, was improved by the French school of fencing.",
"The Spanish school of fencing stagnated and was replaced by the Italian and French schools.",
"Nowadays, these two schools are the most influential around the world.",
"Dueling went into sharp decline after World War I.",
"After World War II, dueling went out of use in Europe except for very rare exceptions.",
"Training for duels, once fashionable for males of aristocratic backgrounds (although fencing masters such as Hope suggest that many people considered themselves trained from taking only one or two lessons), all but disappeared, along with the classes themselves.",
"Fencing continued as a sport, with tournaments and championships.",
"However, the need to actually prepare for a duel with \"sharps\" vanished, changing both training and technique.",
"Starting with épée in 1936, side-judges were replaced by an electrical scoring apparatus, with an audible tone and a red or green light indicating when a touch landed.",
"Foil first embraced electronic scoring in 1956, sabre in 1988.",
"The scoring box reduced the bias in judging, and permitted more accurate scoring of faster actions, lighter touches, and more touches to the back and flank than before."

"He has two of them already, let that hold him.",
"And if he is not satisfied with the exchange he has made with me, he can take back his little Martinique canvas, and his self-portrait sent me from Brittany, at the same time giving me back both my portrait and the two sunflower canvases which he has taken to Paris.",
"So if he ever broaches this subject again, I've told you just how matters stand.",

"The most common creative process in the recording of \"Some Nights\" began with Ruess.",
"Ruess would come in with lyrics and a melody, leading Andrew Dost and guitarist Jack Antonoff to build chord structure and instrumentation from there, or \"support that melody.\"",
"Dost noted that in recording, despite the composer's well-defined framework, the individuals' egos \"pretty much disappear\" and \"everybody is happy to work towards the best possible song\" cohesively together.",
"The dynamic between Bhasker and the band in the studio was mutually inspired, as Bhasker had never worked with a rock band before and Fun had never worked with a hip-hop producer.",
"Bhasker particularly enjoyed recording guitars with guitarist Jack Antonoff as he wasn't used to it, and Dost felt hearing Bhasker compose beats was \"mind-blowing.",
"\"The emphasis for Ruess on \"Some Nights\" was to make the songs more cohesive, as he felt his writing was \"all over the place.\"",
"This meant creating songs that were concise instead of being \"long and drawn out.\"",
"Bhasker was a proponent of using a single instrument to provide the biggest sounds, desiring not to \"over-cram songs with ideas,\" declaring that everything that makes the song must be well-chosen.",
"Janelle Monáe collaborated with the trio on \"We Are Young\" through a friendship with Bhasker.",
"Bhasker was credited with bringing the band a bigger sound and an entirely new sonic translation to the band not present on their debut, \"Aim and Ignite\".",
"The album creates a mix of indie pop, theatric rock, and hip-hop—a sound that is credited to Bhasker.",
"\"Some Nights\" as a title floated around before any songs for the album were even created and was envisioned by Ruess.",
"It was inspired by how personalities can change on any given night.",
"Although the album isn't a concept album, the title changed the band's ideas for the album considerably, with Dost stating, \"It's really nice once you have a title to know what the parameters are of what you're working on as a whole.\"",
"The band completed production on the album in October 2011.",
"Ruess called the seven months spent recording the record the most rewarding of any in his ten years of professional music work, calling it his career highlight."

Event horizon

Which effect causes time to slow down near black holes?

Black hole
| true | 8SCIENCE

[

[
"The defining feature of a black hole is the appearance of an event horizon—a boundary in spacetime through which matter and light can only pass inward towards the mass of the black hole.",
"Nothing, not even light, can escape from inside the event horizon.",
"The event horizon is referred to as such because if an event occurs within the boundary, information from that event cannot reach an outside observer, making it impossible to determine if such an event occurred.",
"As predicted by general relativity, the presence of a mass deforms spacetime in such a way that the paths taken by particles bend towards the mass.",
"At the event horizon of a black hole, this deformation becomes so strong that there are no paths that lead away from the black hole.",
"To a distant observer, clocks near a black hole appear to tick more slowly than those further away from the black hole.",
"Due to this effect, known as gravitational time dilation, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow down as it approaches the event horizon, taking an infinite time to reach it.",
"At the same time, all processes on this object slow down, for a fixed outside observer, causing emitted light to appear redder and dimmer, an effect known as gravitational redshift.",
"Eventually, at a point just before it reaches the event horizon, the falling object becomes so dim that it can no longer be seen.",
"On the other hand, an indestructible observer falling into a black hole does not notice any of these effects as he crosses the event horizon.",
"According to his own clock, which appears to him to tick normally, he crosses the event horizon after a finite time without noting any singular behaviour.",
"In particular, he is unable to determine exactly when he crosses it, as it is impossible to determine the location of the event horizon from local observations.",
"The shape of the event horizon of a black hole is always approximately spherical.",
"For non-rotating (static) black holes the geometry is precisely spherical, while for rotating black holes the sphere is somewhat oblate."

"Sunset on the day of the battle was at 4:54 pm, with the battlefield mostly dark by 5:54 pm and in full darkness by 6:24 pm.",
"Moonrise that night was not until 11:12 pm, so once the sun set, there was little light on the battlefield.",
"William of Jumieges reports that Duke William kept his army armed and ready against a surprise night attack for the entire night before.",
"The battle took place north of Hastings at the present-day town of Battle, between two hills – Caldbec Hill to the north and Telham Hill to the south.",
"The area was heavily wooded, with a marsh nearby.",
"The name traditionally given to the battle is unusual – there were several settlements much closer to the battlefield than Hastings.",
"The \"Anglo-Saxon Chronicle\" called it the battle \"at the hoary apple tree\".",
"Within 40 years, the battle was also known as \"Senlac\", a Norman-French adaptation of the Old English word \"Sandlacu\", which means \"sandy water\".",
"This may have been the name of the stream that crosses the battlefield.",
"The battle was already being referred to as \"bellum Hasestingas\" or \"Battle of Hastings\" by 1087, in the \"Domesday Book\".",
"Sunrise was at 6:48 am that morning, and reports of the day record that it was unusually bright.",
"The weather conditions are not recorded.",
"The route that the English army took to the battlefield is not known precisely.",
"Several roads are possible: one, an old Roman road that ran from Rochester to Hastings has long been favoured because of a large coin hoard found nearby in 1876.",
"Another possibility is a Roman road between London and Lewes and then over local tracks to the battlefield.",
"Some accounts of the battle indicate that the Normans advanced from Hastings to the battlefield, but the contemporary account of William of Jumieges places the Normans at the site of the battle the night before.",

"Open questions.",
"Entropy and thermodynamics.",
"In 1971, Hawking showed under general conditions that the total area of the event horizons of any collection of classical black holes can never decrease, even if they collide and merge.",
"This result, now known as the second law of black hole mechanics, is remarkably similar to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of a system can never decrease.",
"As with classical objects at absolute zero temperature, it was assumed that black holes had zero entropy.",
"If this were the case, the second law of thermodynamics would be violated by entropy-laden matter entering a black hole, resulting in a decrease of the total entropy of the universe.",
"Therefore, Bekenstein proposed that a black hole should have an entropy, and that it should be proportional to its horizon area.",
"The link with the laws of thermodynamics was further strengthened by Hawking's discovery that quantum field theory predicts that a black hole radiates blackbody radiation at a constant temperature.",
"This seemingly causes a violation of the second law of black hole mechanics, since the radiation will carry away energy from the black hole causing it to shrink.",
"The radiation, however also carries away entropy, and it can be proven under general assumptions that the sum of the entropy of the matter surrounding a black hole and one quarter of the area of the horizon as measured in Planck units is in fact always increasing.",
"This allows the formulation of the first law of black hole mechanics as an analogue of the first law of thermodynamics, with the mass acting as energy, the surface gravity as temperature and the area as entropy.",
"One puzzling feature is that the entropy of a black hole scales with its area rather than with its volume, since entropy is normally an extensive quantity that scales linearly with the volume of the system.",
"This odd property led Gerard 't Hooft and Leonard Susskind to propose the holographic principle, which suggests that anything that happens in a volume of spacetime can be described by data on the boundary of that volume.",
"Although general relativity can be used to perform a semi-classical calculation of black hole entropy, this situation is theoretically unsatisfying.",
"In statistical mechanics, entropy is understood as counting the number of microscopic configurations of a system that have the same macroscopic qualities (such as mass, charge, pressure, etc.).",
"Without a satisfactory theory of quantum gravity, one cannot perform such a computation for black holes.",
"Some progress has been made in various approaches to quantum gravity.",
"In 1995, Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa showed that counting the microstates of a specific supersymmetric black hole in string theory reproduced the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy.",
"Since then, similar results have been reported for different black holes both in string theory and in other approaches to quantum gravity like loop quantum gravity."

"The original type of sushi, known today as \"nare-zushi\" (,) was first made in Southeast Asia, possibly along what is now known as the Mekong River.",
"The term \"sushi\" comes from an archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, \"sushi\" means \"sour-tasting\", a reflection of its historic fermented origins.",
"The oldest form of sushi in Japan, \"narezushi\", still very closely resembles this process, wherein fish is fermented via being wrapped in soured fermenting rice.",
"The fish proteins break down via fermentation into their constituent amino acids.",
"The fermenting rice and fish results in a sour taste and also one of the five basic tastes, called \"umami\" in Japanese.",
"Contemporary Japanese sushi has little resemblance to the traditional lacto-fermented rice dish.",
"Originally, when the fermented fish was taken out of the rice, only the fish was consumed while the fermented rice was discarded.",
"The strong-tasting and smelling \"funazushi\", a kind of \"narezushi\" made near Lake Biwa in Japan, resembles the traditional fermented dish.",
"Beginning in the Muromachi period (1336–1573) of Japan, vinegar was added to the mixture for better taste and preservation.",
"The vinegar accentuated the rice's sourness and was known to increase its shelf life, allowing the fermentation process to be shortened and eventually abandoned.",
"In the following centuries, sushi in Osaka evolved into \"oshi-zushi\".",
"The seafood and rice were pressed using wooden (usually bamboo) molds.",
"By the mid 18th century, this form of sushi had reached Edo (contemporary Tokyo).",
"The contemporary version, internationally known as \"sushi\", was created by Hanaya Yohei (1799–1858) at the end of the Edo period in Edo.",
"Sushi invented by Hanaya was an early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could be conveniently eaten with one's hands.",
"Originally, this sushi was known as \"Edomae zushi\" because it used freshly caught fish in the \"Edo-mae\" (Edo Bay or Tokyo Bay).",
"Though the fish used in modern sushi no longer usually comes from Tokyo Bay, it is still formally known as \"Edomae nigirizushi\".",
"The \"Oxford English Dictionary\" notes the earliest written mention of sushi in English in an 1893 book, \"A Japanese Interior\", where it mentions sushi as \"\"a roll of cold rice with fish, sea-weed, or some other flavoring\"\".",
"However, there is also mention of sushi in a Japanese-English dictionary from 1873, and an 1879 article on Japanese cookery in the journal \"Notes and Queries\"."

"It was estimated that 5 million people were of Italian ancestry (the most numerous immigrant community), between 3 million and 6 million people are of North African ancestry, 2.5 million people are of Sub-Saharan African origin, 200,000 people are of Turkish ancestry, and many more are of other European ethnic ancestry, namely Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and Greek.",
"Indeed, it is currently estimated that 40% of the French population is descended at least partially from the different waves of immigration the country has received since the early 20th century; between 1921 and 1935 alone, about 1.1 million net immigrants came to France.",
"The next largest waves came in the 1960s, when around 1.6 million \"pieds noirs\" returned to France following the independence of its North African possessions.",
"France remains a major destination for immigrants, accepting about 200,000 legal immigrants annually.",
"It is also Western Europe's leading recipient of asylum seekers, with an estimated 50,000 applications in 2005 (a 15% decrease from 2004).",
"The European Union allows free movement between the member states, although France established controls to curb Eastern European migration, and immigration remains a contentious political issue.",
"In 2008, the French national institute of statistics INSEE estimated that the total number of foreign-born immigrants was around 5 million (8% of the population), while their French-born descendants numbered 6.5 million, or 11% of the population.",
"Thus, nearly a fifth of the country's population were either first or second-generation immigrants, more than 5 million of European origin and 4 million of Maghrebi origin.",
"In 2008, France granted citizenship to 137,000 persons, mostly to people from Morocco, Algeria and Turkey.",
"France is an outlier among developed countries in general, and European countries in particular, in having a fairly high rate of natural population growth: by birth rates alone, France was responsible for almost all natural population growth in the European Union in 2006, with the natural growth rate (excess of births over deaths) rising to 300,000.",
"This was the highest rate since the end of the baby boom in 1973, and coincides with the rise of the total fertility rate from a nadir of 1.7 in 1994 to 2.0 in 2010.",
"From 2006 to 2011 population growth was on average +0.6% per year.",
"Immigrants are also major contributors to this trend; in 2010, 27% of newborns in metropolitan France had at least one foreign-born parent and 24% had at least one parent born outside of Europe (parents born in overseas territories are considered as born in France).",
"France is a highly-urbanized country, with its largest cities (in terms of metropolitan area population) being Paris (11,836,970), Lyon (1,757,180), Marseille (1,618,369), Lille (1,163,934), Toulouse (1,118,472), Bordeaux (1,009,313), Nice (999,678), Nantes (768,305).",

"The defining feature of a black hole is the appearance of an event horizon—a boundary in spacetime through which matter and light can only pass inward towards the mass of the black hole.",
"Nothing, not even light, can escape from inside the event horizon.",
"The event horizon is referred to as such because if an event occurs within the boundary, information from that event cannot reach an outside observer, making it impossible to determine if such an event occurred.",
"As predicted by general relativity, the presence of a mass deforms spacetime in such a way that the paths taken by particles bend towards the mass.",
"At the event horizon of a black hole, this deformation becomes so strong that there are no paths that lead away from the black hole.",
"To a distant observer, clocks near a black hole appear to tick more slowly than those further away from the black hole.",
"Due to this effect, known as gravitational time dilation, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow down as it approaches the event horizon, taking an infinite time to reach it.",
"At the same time, all processes on this object slow down, for a fixed outside observer, causing emitted light to appear redder and dimmer, an effect known as gravitational redshift.",
"Eventually, at a point just before it reaches the event horizon, the falling object becomes so dim that it can no longer be seen.",
"On the other hand, an indestructible observer falling into a black hole does not notice any of these effects as he crosses the event horizon.",
"According to his own clock, which appears to him to tick normally, he crosses the event horizon after a finite time without noting any singular behaviour.",
"In particular, he is unable to determine exactly when he crosses it, as it is impossible to determine the location of the event horizon from local observations.",
"The shape of the event horizon of a black hole is always approximately spherical.",
"For non-rotating (static) black holes the geometry is precisely spherical, while for rotating black holes the sphere is somewhat oblate."

"The characters of Rayon and Dr. Eve Saks were fictional; the writers had interviewed transgender AIDS patients, activists, and doctors for the film and combined these stories to create the two composite supporting roles.",
"However, Woodroof did lose all his friends after they found out he was HIV-positive.",
"In his interviews with Borten, Woodroof implied that this, along with interactions with gay people living with AIDS through the buyers club, led to a rethinking of his apparent anti-gay sentiments and changed his views on gay people.",
"Other people who knew him said that he did not harbor anti-gay sentiments and was himself bisexual.",
"Also, while a rodeo enthusiast, he never rode any bulls himself.",
"Although the film shows Woodroof diagnosed in 1985, he told Borten that a doctor had informed him he might have the disease well before that; Woodroof believed he may have been infected in 1981, something that was briefly alluded to in a flashback in the film.",
"While Woodroof was known for outlandish behavior, according to those who knew him, both the film and McConaughey made him rougher than he actually was, describing him as \"outrageous, but not confrontational\" and not as obviously anti-gay earlier in his life.",
"The real Woodroof also had an ex-wife, Brenda, a daughter and a sister who were not approached by the writers and were left out of the script to make the film more of a character study."

"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.",

"Mary is seated on the knee of her mother, St Anne.",

Palace of Versailles

"The restoration initiatives launched by the Fifth Republic have proven to be perhaps more costly than the expenditures of the palace in the Ancien Régime.",
"Starting in the 1950s, when the museum of Versailles was under the directorship of Gérald van der Kemp, the objective was to restore the palace to its state – or as close to it as possible – in 1789 when the royal family left the palace.",
"Among the early projects was the repair of the roof over the Hall of Mirrors; the publicity campaign brought international attention to the plight of post-war Versailles and garnered much foreign money including a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.",
"Concurrently, in Russia, the restoration of the Pavlovsk Palace located outside of Leningrad – today's Saint Petersburg – brought the attention of French museum authorities, including the curators of Versailles (Massie, 1990).",
"Pavlovsk Palace was built by Catherine the Great's son Paul.",
"The czarevitch and his wife, Marie Feodorovna, were avid francophiles, who, on a visit to France and Versailles in the 1780s, purchased great quantities of silk, which they later used to upholster furniture in Pavlosk.",
"The palace survived the Russian Revolution intact – descendants of Paul I were living in the palace at the time the communists evicted them – however, during the Second World War, the furniture and artifacts housed in the palace, which had been transformed into a museum, were removed.",
"In the process of evacuation the museum collections, remnants of the silks purchased by Paul I of Russia and Marie Feodorovna were found and conserved.",
"After the war when Soviet authorities were restoring the palace, which had been gutted by the retreating Nazi forces, they recreated the silk fabrics by using the conserved 18th century remnants (Massie, 1990).",
"When the French authorities saw the results of Russian efforts and the high quality they were able to achieve, the French revived 18th-century weaving techniques so as to reproduce the silks used in the decoration of Versailles (Massie, 1990).",
"The two greatest achievements of this initiative are seen today in wall hangings used in the restoration of the \"chambre de la reine\" in the \"grand appartement de reine\" and the \"chambre du roi\" in the \"appartement du roi\".",
"While the design used for the \"chambre du roi\" was, in fact, from a design that had been used during the \"Ancien Régime\" to decorate the \"chambre de la reine\", it nevertheless represents a great achievement in the on-going restoration at Versailles.",
"Additionally, this project, which took over seven years to achieve, required several hundred kilograms of silver and gold to complete (Meyer, 1989).",
"One of the more costly endeavors for the museum and the government of France's Fifth Republic has been to repurchase as much of the original furnishings as possible.",
"However, because furniture with a royal provenance – and especially furniture that was made for Versailles – is a highly sought after commodity on the international market, the museum has spent considerable funds on retrieving much of the palace's original furnishings (Kemp, 1976).",
"In 2003, a new restoration initiative – the \"Grand Versailles\" project – was started, which necessitated unexpected repair and replantation of the gardens.",
"The project will be on-going for the next seventeen years, funded with a state endowment of €135 million allocated for the first seven years.",
"The project will address such concerns as security for the palace, and continued restoration of the \"bosquet des trois fontaines\".",
"VINCI underwrote the €12 million restoration project for the Hall of Mirrors, which was completed in 2006 (Leloup, 2006).",
"We may never know the true amount spent on the creation of Versailles, and most current estimates are speculative.",
"A recent estimate has placed the amount spent on Versailles during the \"Ancien régime\" as US$2 billion (Littell, 2000).",
"This figure in all probability is an under-evaluation of the money spent on Versailles.",
"France's Fifth Republic expenditures alone that have been directed to restoration and maintenance at Versailles undoubtedly surpass those of the Sun King."

"As long as black holes were thought to persist forever this information loss is not that problematic, as the information can be thought of as existing inside the black hole, inaccessible from the outside.",
"However, black holes slowly evaporate by emitting Hawking radiation.",
"This radiation does not appear to carry any additional information about the matter that formed the black hole, meaning that this information appears to be gone forever.",
"The question whether information is truly lost in black holes (the black hole information paradox) has divided the theoretical physics community (see Thorne–Hawking–Preskill bet).",
"In quantum mechanics, loss of information corresponds to the violation of vital property called unitarity, which has to do with the conservation of probability.",

"These specially targeted delivery vehicles vary in their stability, selectivity, and choice of target, but, in essence, they all aim to increase the maximum effective dose that can be delivered to the tumor cells.",
"Reduced systemic toxicity means that they can also be used in sicker patients, and that they can carry new chemotherapeutic agents that would have been far too toxic to deliver via traditional systemic approaches.",
"The first approved drug of this type was gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg), released by Wyeth (now Pfizer).",
"The drug was approved to treat acute myeloid leukemia, but has now been withdrawn from the market because the drug did not meet efficacy targets in further clinical trials.",
"Two other drugs, trastuzumab emtansine and brentuximab vedotin, are both in late clinical trials, and the latter has been granted accelerated approval for the treatment of refractory Hodgkins lymphoma and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma."

"By 2100, while the population of three billion is expected to double, rice and maize yields in the tropics are expected to decrease by 20–40% because of higher temperatures without accounting for the decrease in yields as a result of soil moisture and water supplies stressed by rising temperatures.",
"Future warming of around (by 2100, relative to 1990–2000) could result in increased crop yields in mid- and high-latitude areas, but in low-latitude areas, yields could decline, increasing the risk of malnutrition.",
"A similar regional pattern of net benefits and costs could occur for economic (market-sector) effects.",
"Warming above could result in crop yields falling in temperate regions, leading to a reduction in global food production."

"The international rules specify that the game is played with a light 2.7 gram, 40 mm diameter ball.",
"The rules say that the ball shall bounce up 24–26 cm when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm onto a standard steel block thereby having a coefficient of restitution of 0.89 to 0.92.",
"The 40 mm ball was introduced after the 2000 Olympic Games.",
"However, this created some controversy as the Chinese National Team argued that this was merely to give non-Chinese players a better chance of winning since the new type of balls has a slower speed, while at that time most Chinese players were playing with fast attack and smashes.",

"The first Impressionist exhibition was held in 1874 at 35 boulevard des Capucines, Paris, from 15 April to 15 May.",

"Altogether, 165 works were exhibited in the exhibition, including 4 oils, 2 pastels and 3 watercolors by Morisot; 6 oils and 1 pastel by Renoir; 10 works by Degas; 5 by Pissarro; 3 by Cézanne; and 3 by Guillaumin.",

"The total attendance is estimated at 3500 and some works did sell, though some exhibitors had placed their prices too high.",
"Pissarro was asking 1000 francs for \"The Orchard\" and Monet the same for \"Impression: Sunrise\", neither of which sold.",
"Renoir failed to obtain the 500 francs he was asking for \"La Loge\", but later sold it for 450 francs to Père Martin, dealer and supporter of the group."
