- As in Cézanne’s art, perspective is rendered through colour, with the warm reddish-browns advancing and the cool blues receding.
- Cubism derived its name from remarks that were made by the critic Louis Vauxcelles, who derisively described Braque’s 1908 work Houses at L’Estaque as being composed of cubes.
- It was, however, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, painted by Picasso in 1907, that presaged the new style; in this work, the forms of five female nudes become fractured, angular shapes.
- Cubism, highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914.
- In Braque’s painting, the volumes of the houses, the cylindrical forms of the trees, and the tan-and-green colour scheme are reminiscent of Paul Cézanne’s landscapes, which deeply inspired the Cubists in their first stage of development (until 1909).

- Resiliency is understood as the capacity to create systems that can regroup, bounce back, adapt, and return stronger, and this notion of resiliency has taken on a life of its own as leaders in industries as far-ranging as business, health care, law, and psychology all have jumped on the bandwagon.
- But in all these discussions of how to build resiliency into our domestic fabric, we may be getting far ahead of ourselves.
- Our nation faces multibillion-dollar disasters, a changing climate, a rising sea, fires that can't seem to be put out, and many other varieties of mayhem.
- Public-policy experts and politicians talk of building a more resilient nation, the de rigueur notion of our time.
- From the flatlands of Kentucky to the seaport district of Boston, we are not built to withstand the harms we are likely to face in the years ahead.

- For children, who are just beginning to make their way in society, they can be disastrous.
- Linguistic disorders of speech or of comprehension are awkward for anyone who suffers from them.
- Teasing, bullying, lack of friends and poor school performance may all follow from an inability to talk or listen normally.
- But often it does not.
- Early intervention and therapy, though, can make a big difference – if diagnosis comes quickly enough.

- While it is often assumed that the Taíno were the "original" inhabitants of the Caribbean, particularly the Greater Antilles, other peoples had already been living there for several thousand years.
- Yet hidden beneath the beach cabanas are likely clues to a pre-Columbian mystery that's been perplexing anthropologists for centuries: who actually discovered the Caribbean?
- When Columbus arrived on Hispaniola in the 15th Century, he encountered the Taíno, an Arawakan-speaking people who came from the Orinoco Delta of present-day Venezuela, emigrating as early as 400 BCE.
- You wouldn't think of the overtrodden Dominican Republic as a cutting-edge archaeology destination.

- He was in a chatty mood that morning, however, and had just settled me into the well-worn low armchair on one side of the fire, while he had curled down with his pipe in his mouth upon the opposite chair, when our visitor arrived.
- I had not seen Holmes for some days and had no idea of the new channel into which his activities had been directed.
- If I had said that a mad bull had arrived it would give a clearer impression of what occurred.

- The Illinois native made a name for himself on the sandcastle contest circuit as a teen with gobs of creative whimsy and technical mastery.
- But for the past 40 years, sand sculpting has occupied every waking moment of Ted Siebert’s professional life.
- After all, sandcastles are best known for keeping children occupied all day long on family beach vacations as they play in the soft, moldable substrate and toil away in creativity.
- One might question the sanity of a 62-year-old man who spends weeks on end building sandcastles.

- What is the Standard Model of particle physics?
- Nature as we know it is governed by four fundamental forces – electromagnetic, strong, weak and gravitational.
- However, so far scientists have been able to devise a theory that only gives a unified description of the first three forces. This theory is called the Standard Model (SM).
- The European organisation for nuclear research (CERN) on Tuesday came out with a news that has more than raised an eyebrow among particle physicists. The LHCb experiment in CERN has shown a feeble but persistent sign of physics that contradicts a basic assumption of the Standard Model.
- One of the major programmes in physics is to unify these four forces and have one equation to describe everything – the theory of everything!

- Simple markers of respect for the dead, such as placing flowers on unmarked graves, had to be done secretly, for to do so publicly was to risk one’s life.
- In a particularly cruel form of psychic violence, the regime also banned all death rituals, including any kind of public mourning for those who died on the republican side during the war and those executed during the immediate postwar era.

Answer: 2134
Workspace:
- The International Monetary Fund (IMF), which should be playing a major role in countering destabilizing shocks, is constrained by limited resources.
- International co-operation has forestalled or mitigated some shocks but others (the debt crisis of the 1980s, for instance) have been allowed to gather momentum and inflict economic damage and social pain.
- No satisfactory mechanism exists to anticipate or respond promptly to future global shocks.
- As economies become more interdependent, it is not only the opportunity for wealth creation that is multiplied, but also the opportunity for destabilizing shocks to be transmitted from one country to another.
