"Alan Morrison from \"Empire\" Online gave \"Amélie\" five stars and called it \"one of the year’s best, with crossover potential along the lines of \"Cyrano De Bergerac\" and \"Il Postino\".",
"Given its quirky heart, it might well surpass them all.",
"\"Paul Tatara from CNN Reviewer praised \"Amélie\"s playful nature.",
"In his review, he wrote, \"Its whimsical, free-ranging nature is often enchanting; the first hour, in particular, is brimming with amiable, sardonic laughs.",
"\"The film was attacked by critic Serge Kaganski of \"Les Inrockuptibles\" for an unrealistic and picturesque vision of a bygone French society with few ethnic minorities.",
"Jeunet dismissed the criticism by pointing out that the photo collection contains pictures of people from numerous ethnic backgrounds, and that Jamel Debbouze, who plays Lucien, is of Moroccan descent."

"Astrophysics and astronomy are the application of the theories and methods of physics to the study of stellar structure, stellar evolution, the origin of the solar system, and related problems of cosmology.",
"Because astrophysics is a broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics.",
"The discovery by Karl Jansky in 1931 that radio signals were emitted by celestial bodies initiated the science of radio astronomy.",
"Most recently, the frontiers of astronomy have been expanded by space exploration.",
"Perturbations and interference from the earth's atmosphere make space-based observations necessary for infrared, ultraviolet, gamma-ray, and X-ray astronomy.",
"Physical cosmology is the study of the formation and evolution of the universe on its largest scales.",
"Albert Einstein's theory of relativity plays a central role in all modern cosmological theories.",
"In the early 20th century, Hubble's discovery that the universe is expanding, as shown by the Hubble diagram, prompted rival explanations known as the steady state universe and the Big Bang.",
"The Big Bang was confirmed by the success of Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1964.",
"The Big Bang model rests on two theoretical pillars: Albert Einstein's general relativity and the cosmological principle.",
"Cosmologists have recently established the ΛCDM model of the evolution of the universe, which includes cosmic inflation, dark energy, and dark matter.",

Theory of critical opalescence

Why is the sky blue?

Albert Einstein
| true | 8SCIENCE

[
"Einstein returned to the problem of thermodynamic fluctuations, giving a treatment of the density variations in a fluid at its critical point.",
"Ordinarily the density fluctuations are controlled by the second derivative of the free energy with respect to the density.",
"At the critical point, this derivative is zero, leading to large fluctuations.",
"The effect of density fluctuations is that light of all wavelengths is scattered, making the fluid look milky white.",
"Einstein relates this to Rayleigh scattering, which is what happens when the fluctuation size is much smaller than the wavelength, and which explains why the sky is blue.",
"Einstein quantitatively derived critical opalescence from a treatment of density fluctuations, and demonstrated how both the effect and Rayleigh scattering originate from the atomistic constitution of matter."

"Taekwondo or (Korean 태권도 (hangul) / 跆拳道 (hanja), ) is a Korean martial art.",
"It combines combat and self-defense techniques with sport and exercise.",
"\"Gyeorugi\" (), a type of sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000.",
"Taekwondo was developed by a variety of Korean masters during the 1940s as partial combination of taekkyeon, Okinawan karate, and other traditions.",
"The name \"taekwondo\" was coined by Choi Hong Hi (of the Oh Do Kwan).",
"The World Taekwondo Federation claims that taekwondo development was a collaborative effort by a council consisting of members from the nine original kwans, while the International Taekwon-Do Federation credits Choi Hong Hi solely.",
"\"Traditional taekwondo\" typically refers to the martial art as it was established in the 1950s and 1960s in the South Korean military and in various civilian organizations, including schools and universities.",
"In particular, the names and symbolism of the both the traditional patterns and the newer poomsae often refer to elements of Korean history, culture and religious philosophy.",
"This symbolism is replicated in the Korean flag.",
"\"Sport taekwondo\" was developed in the 1950s and may have a somewhat different focus, especially in terms of its emphasis on speed and competition (as in Olympic sparring).",
"Sport taekwondo is in turn subdivided into two main styles.",
"One style is practiced by International Taekwon-Do adherents and was created in 1955 by Choi Hong Hi.",
"The other style derives from Kukkiwon, the source of the sparring system \"sihap gyeorugi\".",
"This style is now an event at the summer Olympic Games and is governed by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF).",
"Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters) is the traditional center for WTF taekwondo and was founded in 1973 by Dr. Kim Un Yong.",
"Although there are doctrinal and technical differences between sparring in the two main styles and among the various organizations, the art in general emphasizes kicks and punches thrown from a mobile stance.",
"Taekwondo training generally includes a system of blocks, kicks, punches, and open-handed strikes and may also include various take-downs or sweeps, throws, and joint locks.",
"Pressure points, known as \"jiapsul\", are used, as well as grabbing self-defense techniques borrowed from other martial arts such as Japanese judo, Korean hapkido, and Korean wrestling or ssireum.",
"In Korean, \"tae\" (태, ) means \"to strike or break with the foot\"; \"kwon\" (권, ) means \"to strike or break with the fist\"; and \"do\" (도, ) means \"way of life\".",
"Thus, \"taekwondo\" may be loosely translated as \"the way of the foot and the hand.\"",
"The name \"taekwondo\" is also written as \"taekwon-do\", \"tae kwon-do\", or \"tae kwon do\" by various organizations."

"With an estimated population of 66 million people as of July 2013, France is the 21st-most populous country in the world and the third-most populous in Europe.",
"Although the French people are historically of Celtic, Romantic, and Germanic origin, they are today a mixture of several ethnic groups, due mostly to large-scale immigration over the last century.",
"In 2004, the Institut Montaigne estimated that within Metropolitan France, 51 million people were white (85% of the population), 6 million were North African (10%), 2 million were black (3.5%), and 1 million were Asian (1.5%).",
"A law originating from the 1789 revolution and reaffirmed in the 1958 French Constitution makes it illegal for the French state to collect data on ethnicity and ancestry, although some surveys, such as the TeO (\"Trajectories and origins\") poll conducted jointly by INED and INSEE in 2008, are allowed to do so.",
"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 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."

"The term lipid composes a diverse range of molecules and to some extent is a catchall for relatively water-insoluble or nonpolar compounds of biological origin, including waxes, fatty acids, fatty-acid derived phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, and terpenoids (e.g., retinoids and steroids).",
"Some lipids are linear aliphatic molecules, while others have ring structures.",
"Some are aromatic, while others are not.",
"Some are flexible, while others are rigid.",
"Most lipids have some polar character in addition to being largely nonpolar.",
"In general, the bulk of their structure is nonpolar or hydrophobic (\"water-fearing\"), meaning that it does not interact well with polar solvents like water.",
"Another part of their structure is polar or hydrophilic (\"water-loving\") and will tend to associate with polar solvents like water.",
"This makes them amphiphilic molecules (having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions).",
"In the case of cholesterol, the polar group is a mere -OH (hydroxyl or alcohol).",
"In the case of phospholipids, the polar groups are considerably larger and more polar, as described below.",
"Lipids are an integral part of our daily diet.",
"Most oils and milk products that we use for cooking and eating like butter, cheese, ghee etc., are composed of fats.",
"Vegetable oils are rich in various polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).",
"Lipid-containing foods undergo digestion within the body and are broken into fatty acids and glycerol, which are the final degradation products of fats and lipids."

"For example, sodium (Na), a metal, loses one electron to become an Na+ cation while chlorine (Cl), a non-metal, gains this electron to become Cl-.",
"The ions are held together due to electrostatic attraction, and that compound sodium chloride (NaCl), or common table salt, is formed.",
"In a covalent bond, one or more pairs of valence electrons are shared by two atoms: the resulting electrically neutral group of bonded atoms is termed a molecule.",

"The worst of the radioactive debris was collected inside what was left of the reactor, much of it shoveled in by liquidators wearing heavy protective gear (dubbed \"bio-robots\" by the military); these workers could only spend a maximum of 40 seconds at a time working on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings because of the extremely high doses of radiation given off by the blocks of graphite and other debris.",
"The reactor itself was covered with bags of sand, lead and boric acid dropped from helicopters: some 5,000 metric tons of material were dropped during the week that followed the accident.",
"At the time there was still fear that the reactor could re-enter a self-sustaining nuclear chain-reaction and explode again, and a new containment structure was planned to prevent rain entering and triggering such an explosion, and to prevent further release of radioactive material.",
"This was the largest civil engineering task in history, involving a quarter of a million construction workers who all reached their official lifetime limits of radiation.",
"By December 1986, a large concrete sarcophagus had been erected to seal off the reactor and its contents.",
"A unique \"clean up\" medal was given to the workers.",
"Many of the vehicles used by the \"liquidators\" remain parked in a field in the Chernobyl area.",
"During the construction of the sarcophagus, a scientific team re-entered the reactor as part of an investigation dubbed \"Complex Expedition\", to locate and contain nuclear fuel in a way that could not lead to another explosion.",
"These scientists manually collected cold fuel rods, but great heat was still emanating from the core.",
"Rates of radiation in different parts of the building were monitored by drilling holes into the reactor and inserting long metal detector tubes.",
"The scientists were exposed to high levels of radiation and radioactive dust.",
"After six months of investigation, in December 1986, they discovered with the help of a remote camera an intensely radioactive mass in the basement of Unit Four, more than two metres wide and weighing hundreds of tons, which they called \"the elephant's foot\" for its wrinkled appearance.",

"The rules state that the body should be vertical, or nearly so, for entry.",
"Strictly speaking, it is physically impossible to achieve a literally vertical position throughout the entry as there will inevitably still be some rotational momentum while the body is entering the water.",
"Divers therefore attempt to create the illusion of being vertical, especially when performing rapidly rotating multiple somersault movements.",
"One technique is to allow the upper body to enter slightly short of vertical so that the continuing rotation leaves the final impression of the legs entering vertically.",
"Another is to use \"entry save\" movements of scooping the upper body underwater in the direction of rotation so as to counteract the rotation of the legs.",
"The arms must be beside the body for feet-first dives, which are typically competed only on the 1m springboard and only at fairly low levels of competition, and extended forwards in line for \"head-first\" dives, which are much more common competitively.",
"It used to be common for the hands to be interlocked with the fingers extended towards the water, but a different technique has become favoured during the last few decades.",
"Now the usual practice is for one hand to grasp the other with palms down to strike the water with a flat surface.",
"This creates a vacuum between the hands, arms and head which, with a vertical entry, will pull down and under any splash until deep enough to have minimal effect on the surface of the water (the so-called \"rip entry\").",
"Once a diver is completely under the water they may choose to roll or scoop in the same direction their dive was rotating to pull their legs into a more vertical position."

"With such an honest revelation of emotions in his lyrics, it's hard to imagine the tune does not stir hearts.\"",

"Amy Dawson of Metro UK called it \"a delicate, countrified guitar ballad that drives into a power-chorus singalong conclusion.\"",
"Colin McGuire of PopMatters was mixed in his review, writing that \"'I Won’t Give Up', for instance, is acoustic guitar-laden folky pop that falls at least a little bit flat with its predictably bland approach.",

"In the photoemission process, if an electron within some material absorbs the energy of one photon and acquires more energy than the work function (the electron binding energy) of the material, it is ejected.",
"If the photon energy is too low, the electron is unable to escape the material.",
"Since an increase in the intensity of low-frequency light will only increase the number of low-energy photons sent over a given interval of time, this change in intensity will not create any single photon with enough energy to dislodge an electron.",
"Thus, the energy of the emitted electrons does not depend on the intensity of the incoming light, but only on the energy (equivalently frequency) of the individual photons.",
"It is an interaction between the incident photon and the outermost electrons.",
"Electrons can absorb energy from photons when irradiated, but they usually follow an \"all or nothing\" principle.",
"All of the energy from one photon must be absorbed and used to liberate one electron from atomic binding, or else the energy is re-emitted.",
"If the photon energy is absorbed, some of the energy liberates the electron from the atom, and the rest contributes to the electron's kinetic energy as a free particle."

"Bomber Command and Coastal Command aircraft flew offensive sorties against targets in Germany and France during the battle.",
"After the initial disasters of the war, with Vickers Wellington bombers shot down in large numbers attacking Wilhelmshaven and the slaughter of the Fairey Battle squadrons sent to France, it became clear that Bomber Command would have to operate mainly at night to achieve any results without incurring very high losses.",
"From 15 May 1940, a night time bomber campaign was launched against the German oil industry, communications, and forests/crops, mainly in the Ruhr area.",
"As the threat mounted, Bomber Command changed targeting priority on 3 June 1940 to attack the German aircraft industry.",
"On 4 July, the Air Ministry gave Bomber Command orders to attack ports and shipping.",
"By September, the build-up of invasion barges in the Channel ports had become a top priority target.",
"On 7 September, the government issued a warning that the invasion could be expected within the next few days and, that night, Bomber Command attacked the Channel ports and supply dumps.",
"On 13 September, they carried out another large raid on the Channel ports, sinking 80 large barges in the port of Ostend.",
"84 barges were sunk in Dunkirk after another raid on 17 September and by 19 September, almost 200 barges had been sunk.",
"The loss of these barges may have contributed to Hitler's decision to postpone Operation \"Sea Lion\" indefinitely.",
"The success of these raids was in part because the Germans had few Freya radar stations set up in France, so that air defences of the French harbours were not nearly as good as the air defences over Germany; Bomber Command had directed some 60% of its strength against the Channel ports.",
"The Bristol Blenheim units also raided German-occupied airfields throughout July to December 1940, both during daylight hours and at night.",
"Although most of these raids were unproductive, there were some successes; on 1 August, five out of 12 Blenheims sent to attack Haamstede and Evere (Brussels) were able to bomb, destroying or heavily damaging three Bf 109s of II./JG 27 and apparently killing a \"Staffelkapitän\" identified as a \"Hauptmann\" Albrecht von Ankum-Frank.",
"Two other 109s were claimed by Blenheim gunners.",
"Another successful raid on Haamstede was made by a single Blenheim on 7 August which destroyed one 109 of 4./JG 54, heavily damaged another and caused lighter damage to four more.",
"There were some missions which produced an almost 100% casualty rate amongst the Blenheims; one such operation was mounted on 13 August 1940 against a \"Luftwaffe\" airfield near Aalborg in north-eastern Denmark by 12 aircraft of 82 Squadron.",
"One Blenheim returned early (the pilot was later charged and due to appear before a court martial, but was killed on another operation), the other 11, which reached Denmark, were shot down, five by flak and six by Bf 109s.",
"Of the 33 crewmen who took part in the attack, 20 were killed and 13 captured.",
"As well as the bombing operations, Blenheim-equipped units had been formed to carry out long-range strategic reconnaissance missions over Germany and German-occupied territories.",
"In this role, the Blenheims again proved to be too slow and vulnerable against \"Luftwaffe\" fighters, and they took constant casualties.",
"Coastal Command directed its attention towards the protection of British shipping, and the destruction of enemy shipping.",
"As invasion became more likely, it participated in the strikes on French harbours and airfields, laying mines, and mounting numerous reconnaissance missions over the enemy-held coast.",
"In all, some 9,180 sorties were flown by bombers from July to October 1940.",
"Although this was much less than the 80,000 sorties flown by fighters, bomber crews suffered about half the total number of casualties borne by their fighter colleagues.",
"The bomber contribution was, therefore, much more dangerous on a loss-per-sortie comparison.",
"Bomber, reconnaissance, and antisubmarine patrol operations continued throughout these months with little respite and none of the publicity accorded to Fighter Command.",
"In his famous 20 August speech about \"The Few\", praising Fighter Command, Churchill also made a point of mentioning Bomber Command's contribution, adding that bombers were even then striking back at Germany; this part of the speech is often overlooked, even today.",

"The most common type of snorkel is a simple tube that is allowed to flood when underwater.",
"The snorkeler expels water from the snorkel either with a sharp exhalation on return to the surface (\"blast clearing\") or by tilting the head back shortly before reaching the surface and exhaling until reaching or breaking the surface (\"displacement method\") and facing forward again before inhaling the next breath.",
"The displacement method expels water by displacing its presence in the snorkel with air; it is a technique that takes practice but clears the snorkel with less effort, but only works when surfacing.",
"Clearing splash water while at the surface requires blast clearing.",
"Some snorkels have a sump in the mouthpiece to allow a small volume of water to remain in the snorkel without being inhaled when the snorkeler breathes.",
"Some also have a one-way output valve in the sump, which automatically drains the sump as it fills with water.",
"A few snorkels have float-operated valves attached to the top end of the tube to keep water out when a wave passes, but these cause problems when diving as the snorkel must then be equalised during descent, using part of the diver's inhaled air supply.",
"Some recent designs have a splash deflector on the top end that prevents entry of any water that splashes over the open end of the tube, thereby keeping it relatively free from water.",
"Finswimmers usually don't use snorkels with a sump valve, as they learn to spit water out through the tube, allowing greater speed and lowering the stress of eventual swallowing of small quantities of water, which would impede their competition performance.",
"There is actually a method to re-train former snorkelers to use sump valve, splash deflector and noseclip to become a proficient finswimmer.",
"Common problem with all assistive mechanical clearing mechanisms is their tendency to fail if infrequently used, stored for long periods, environmental fouling, or due to lack of maintenance.",
"Modern designs use silicone rubber in the mouthpiece and one-way clearing and float valves due to its resistance to degradation and its long service life.",
"Natural rubber was formerly used, but slowly oxidizes and breaks down due to ultraviolet light exposure from the sun.",
"It eventually loses its flexibility, becomes brittle and cracks, which can cause clearing valves to stick in the open or closed position, and float valves to leak due to a failure of the valve seat to seal.",
"In even older designs, some snorkels were made with small \"ping pong\" balls in a cage mounted to the open end of the tube to prevent water ingress.",
"These are no longer sold or recommended because they are unreliable and considered hazardous.",
"Similarly, diving masks with a built-in snorkel are considered unsafe and obsolete.",
"Application of a grease to valve seats can aid in sealing, but is mechanically washed away over time.",
"A heavy application can cause valves to stick closed and trap grit (foul), which will cause the valve to leak.",
"Environmental fouling can be caused by beach sand or loose-floating plant or animal matter becoming lodged in the valve, preventing proper operation.",
"Although swimming with a snorkel is much easier than without, it is important that a novice swimmer also learn surface breathing and floating without a snorkel, in the event that the clearing mechanisms fail, rendering the snorkel useless as a breathing aid."

"Typically, the actual physical length of each club is longer or shorter, depending on the distance the club is intended to propel the ball.",
"Golf clubs have traditionally been arranged into three basic types.",
"Woods are large-headed, long-shafted clubs meant to propel the ball a long distance from relatively \"open\" lies, such as the tee box and fairway.",
"Of particular importance is the \"driver\" or \"1-wood\", which is the lowest lofted wood club, and in modern times has become highly specialized for making extremely long-distance tee shots, up to or more in the hands of a professional golfer.",
"Traditionally these clubs had heads made of a hardwood, hence the name, but virtually all modern woods are now made of metal such as titanium, or of composite materials.",
"Irons are shorter-shafted clubs with a metal head primarily consisting of a flat, angled striking face.",
"Traditionally the clubhead was forged from iron; modern iron clubheads are investment-cast from a steel alloy.",
"Irons of varying loft are used for a variety of shots from virtually anywhere on the course, but most often for shorter-distance shots approaching the green, or to get the ball out of tricky lies such as sand traps.",
"The third class is the putter, which evolved from the irons to create a low-lofted, balanced club designed to roll the ball along the green and into the hole.",
"Putters are virtually always used on the green or in the surrounding rough/fringe.",
"A fourth class, called hybrids, evolved as a cross between woods and irons, and are typically seen replacing the low-lofted irons with a club that provides similar distance, but a higher launch angle and a more forgiving nature.",
"A maximum of 14 clubs is allowed in a player's bag at one time during a stipulated round.",
"The choice of clubs is at the golfer's discretion, although every club must be constructed in accordance with parameters outlined in the rules.",

"Golf balls are spherical, usually white (although other colors are allowed), and minutely pock-marked by dimples that decrease aerodynamic drag by increasing air turbulence around the ball in motion, which delays \"boundary layer\" separation and reduces the drag-inducing \"wake\" behind the ball,thereby allowing the ball to fly farther.",
"A tee is allowed only for the first stroke on each hole, unless the player must hit a provisional tee shot or replay his or her first shot from the tee.",
"Many golfers wear golf shoes with metal or plastic spikes designed to increase traction, thus allowing for longer and more accurate shots.",

"When Suharto overthrew Sukarno, the President of Indonesia, following the failed coup of the 30 September Movement in 1965, the gangsters Anwar Congo and Adi Zulkadry in Medan (North Sumatra) were promoted from selling black market movie theatre tickets to leading the most notorious death squad in North Sumatra.",
"They also extorted ethnic Chinese locals, killing those who refused to pay.",

[
"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."

"By late 1968, more than two years after the Beatles gave up touring, Paul McCartney was eager for the group to perform live again.",
"The sessions for that year's \"The Beatles\" (commonly known as the \"White Album\") had seen a number of serious arguments and strained relations among the group.",
"McCartney felt that the group's cohesiveness had been lost through years without playing live, and from using the studio not to record ensemble performances but to make increasingly complex recordings made up of parts played individually by each Beatle as overdubs rather than as a group.",
"He believed that the best way to improve band relations and revive enthusiasm was to get the group back into rehearsal as quickly as possible (the \"White Album\" sessions having only been concluded in October 1968) and begin work on a new album that made little or no use of studio artifice or multiple overdubbing.",
"This would allow the group to return to their roots by playing as a true ensemble, perhaps recording some or all of the new album during a one-off live concert or full concert tour.",
"This idea mirrored the \"back to basics\" attitude of a number of rock musicians at this time in reaction against the psychedelic and progressive music dominant in the previous two years.",
"McCartney believed that a return to live performance would reinstill the same sort of ensemble spirit and sense of unity that they had in their early years together.",
"McCartney also decided to invite producer/engineer Glyn Johns to contribute to the recording.",
"His proposed role was apparently not clearly defined, as McCartney also wished to retain the services of George Martin.",
"As a result, Johns was not entirely sure whether he was supposed to be producing (or co-producing) the album or merely engineering it, with Martin having no clear idea of where he stood either.",
"The other three Beatles were less enthusiastic about McCartney's proposals.",
"They had just completed five months' work on their previous album and were skeptical about the prospects of returning to live performance.",
"George Harrison in particular was very opposed to the idea of touring, having taken the strongest dislike out of any in the group due to the grueling tours of the Beatlemania era.",
"However he had recently enjoyed a series of jam sessions with Bob Dylan and the Band in the US, rediscovering his liking for straightforward ensemble playing, and he was attracted to the idea of the \"back to basics\" approach.",
"The same approach greatly appealed to John Lennon, who had grown increasingly wary of what he regarded as the excessive technical artifice used on their recordings since \"Revolver\" and had also made a recent return to no-frills ensemble playing in the shape of an appearance on \"The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus\".",
"In addition, all the group members had greatly enjoyed the recording of Lennon's song \"Happiness is a Warm Gun\" during the recent \"White Album\" sessions which, due to its multiple sections and myriad time signature changes, had required the Beatles to focus sharply and revive their ensemble playing skills to lay down a coherent basic rhythm track before any overdubbing could be applied.",
"In the end, the group agreed to convene for rehearsals immediately following New Year's Day 1969 to begin work, even though no suitable conclusion or even firm direction for the new project had been agreed upon."

"Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.",
"\"Titanic\" received six warnings of sea ice on 14 April but was travelling near her maximum speed when her crew sighted the iceberg.",
"Unable to turn quickly enough, the ship suffered a glancing blow that buckled her starboard (right) side and opened five of her sixteen compartments to the sea.",
"\"Titanic\" had been designed to stay afloat with four of her forward compartments flooded but not more, and the crew soon realised that the ship would sink.",
"They used rocket flares and radio (wireless) messages to attract help as the passengers were put into lifeboats.",
"However, in accordance with existing maritime practice, the ship was carrying far too few lifeboats for everyone (though slightly more than the law required), and many boats were not filled to their capacity due to a poorly managed evacuation.",
"The ship sank with over a thousand passengers and crew members still on board.",
"Almost all those who jumped or fell into the water died from hypothermia within minutes.",
"RMS \"Carpathia\" arrived on the scene about an hour and a half after the sinking and had rescued the last of the survivors in the lifeboats by 09:15 on 15 April, little more than 24 hours after \"Titanic\"s crew had received their first warnings of drifting ice.",
"The disaster caused widespread public outrage over the lack of lifeboats, lax shipping regulations, and the unequal treatment of the different passenger classes aboard the ship.",
"Inquiries set up in the wake of the disaster recommended sweeping changes to maritime regulations.",
"This led to the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which still governs maritime safety today."

Abstract

Compared to motor vehicles, bicycles provide what benefits?
|
Cycling
| true | 4SPORT
|
[
6
] |
[
"Cycling, also called bicycling or biking, is the use of bicycles for transport, recreation, or for sport.",
"Persons engaged in cycling are referred to as \"cyclists\", \"bikers\", or less commonly, as \"bicyclists\".",
"Apart from two-wheeled bicycles, \"cycling\" also includes the riding of unicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, and similar human-powered vehicles (HPVs).",
"Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide.",
"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."
