...seems obsessed with showing how dirty the seventeenth century was, which I guess is a pretty noble pursuit. Thus, everyone’s hair is disgusting, fingernails are teeming with grime, and the floors are perpetually covered in bodily fluids. England is shown as being encased in a yellow uncertain fog, and over-flowing with perpetual massive orgies. The film is aesthetically ambitious, but eventually borders on being pretentious. The main problem with “The Libertine” is that it is heavy handed, but not about anything exactly. It seems as if Dunmore wanted the audience...
...aware of any brain foods that have as much scientific evidence behind them as fish and fish oil. But I would keep an eye on turmeric, the yellow spice that is a major ingredient in American mustard and Indian curries. A relative of ginger, turmeric comes from the underground stem of a tropical plant and is being carefully studied for its medicinal effects. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that has anticancer properties and may offer significant protection against Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's begins as an inflammatory process in the brain.

...yellow jersey and black pants that Zheng wore to practice during a recent national-team training session in southern China's Jiangmen city were hardly flashy, but the future of Chinese women's tennis may soon shine as brightly as a sequined Serena Williams ensemble.

The red, orange, and yellow costumes accented the Tarzan-esque music, and the dancers marched on stage—dancing in unison first and later in canon.The lyrical pas de deux, “Will You Settle,” choreographed and performed in partners by a jeans-clad Walker and David L. Blazar...
...last painting, the justly famous The Dream (1910), his own velvet studio couch is set down in the middle of a jungle. Lying on it is a naked woman, her arm outstretched. She luxuriates like Eve in an arabesque of luminous lotus flowers, surrounded by lionesses with gleaming yellow eyes and other half-glimpsed animals from disparate continents. And in the most erotic work on view, the haunting Snake Charmer (1907), a woman's nude figure in dark silhouette stands by a river against an unearthly sunset - or is it moonrise? Flowers and grasses glow with an inner light...
