...swollen glands. Left untreated, the bacterium can lodge in various body tissues (where blood tests may not detect it) and cause fever, sore throat, severe fatigue, joint pain, tingling or numbness in the extremities and changes in vision. In late stages, the disease can lead to arthritis, meningitis, facial drooping, numbness in the hands and feet, and neurological disorders that can include short-term memory loss, inability to concentrate or finish sentences, disorientation and confusion...
...Prenatal Peek and Womb with a View for high-res, golden-hued ultrasound images of fetuses in their amniotic homes. It's not hard to see the appeal. The latest advances in ultrasound technology--from grainy 2D to glorious 4D with accompanying DVD--produce images that are impressive, showing facial features, hair, fingers, toes and even a fetus' sex. Some companies throw in a sound track to go with Baby's first video...

But the famous charm of his art is the other explanation. He settled early upon a formula of powerful appeal, a convergence of fastidious lines and abstracted facial features, of intimacy and enigma, that made modernism inviting, even comfortable. He didn't dynamite the human form as Picasso did or distill it to its essence like Matisse. In Modigliani's work the figure doesn't look aggressively, truculently modern. Modernized is more like it, gently conformed to what...
