...said about romantic transactions. Jack's tummy troubles and Marion's shadowed past are pretty much par for the course of true love nowadays. Whether or not an audience wants to immerse themselves in such matters is another question. Maybe we still want the Seine to sparkle in the sunlight as it always has, Maybe we hope Gene Kelly will still come tapping down the Montmartre sidewalks as once he did. If that's the case then 2 Days in Paris will not be your dish of Pernod. But if a dose of skepticism (see Jack trying to come...
...these immune cells went into a hyperalert state to begin with. Was it caused by a virus? Was it nutritional, as suggested by a study last week in the journal Neurology, which found that having too little vitamin D, normally produced in the body during exposure to sunlight, increases the risk of MS? Or, were genes to blame for inciting the immune system to rebel? Or, was it, as most experts believe, some combination of all of the above...
...will be beamed over to give you remedial lessons. It's rural Indonesia, which emits 3.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually--almost entirely from deforestation. Living trees absorb CO2, and as they are cut down or burned, they release their stored carbon into the air. Trees also absorb sunlight, warming the earth, but in the tropics their ability to absorb CO2 and promote cloud formation has a net cooling effect. In addition, thinning forests mean fewer trees to soak up the carbon emitted by industry and transport. Deforestation is responsible for about 20% of global carbon emissions, more than...
...women--what to make of his notion of eroticism, all those strapping females who manage to look both carnal and remote? A "hard muscular girl" is how someone described the typical Hopper woman, "sturdy of leg and breast, bulging in her clothes." True enough. But look at Second Story Sunlight, in which her face is a chalky mask with opaque brown lozenges for eyes. She never looks into yours and never will...
...shines on TX, the material becomes active and neutralizes surrounding pollutants like nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide," says Borgarello. According to tests conducted by Italcementi, which spent more than a decade and $10 million developing the product, TX can reduce local air pollutants from 20% to 70%, depending on sunlight levels and wind. (It also adds as much as 20% to the cost of the cement.) Cover 15% of the exposed surfaces of a city like Milan, Borgarello estimates, and you could cut pollution in half. And as a bonus, TX helps buildings stay whiter than white by resisting...
