The Clippers have looked strong since Paul George's return, but they were unable to make a move in the standings because of the gap between them and Minnesota. The Los Angeles Clippers appear to have the best chance to win on the road in the four scheduled play-in contests. Indiana had 32 handouts Sunday, and Cleveland had 19 helpers on Friday. That could be a good sign for Garland's assist prop when those numbers are released closer to tip time.īrooklyn should win the game, but Cleveland has the potential to make it interesting and remain within the 8.5-point spread.

The Nets bossed the rebounding battle Friday, as Andre Drummond and Bruce Brown both hit double figures in that category. The expectation is that at least one of Brooklyn's superstars takes over Tuesday's contest and propels the Nets into a first-round matchup against the Boston Celtics. The Nets followed that up with a home win over the Indiana Pacers, in which Kyrie Irving scored 35 points.

New South Wales state, home to Sydney, said on Monday it detected 207 COVID-19 infections in the past 24 hours as daily new cases continue to linger near a 16-month high recorded late last week. Meanwhile the lockdown of Brisbane and several surrounding areas comes as Sydney, the biggest city in the country, begins its sixth week under stay-at-home orders. Morrison expects to hit the 70% mark by the end of the year. Prime Minister Morrison has promised lockdowns would be "less likely" once the country inoculates 70% of its population above 16 years of age - up from 19% now. The death toll rose to 925 after a man in his 90s died in Sydney.Īustralia is going through a cycle of stop-start lockdowns in several cities after the emergence of the fast-moving Delta strain, and such restrictions are likely to persist until the country reaches a much higher level of vaccination coverage.

The animation is spot on, with the forest coming alive in vibrant greens and golds from the sunlight streaming through the leaves. Hotaru's small monologue at the end was beautifully written, and the voice acting was brilliant Ayane Sakura captures Hotaru's grief, but also her strength in knowing that she was loved, and she is forced to move on. Romantic lines between Hotaru and Gin don't feel forced, nor do their actions and interactions. This condition hangs like the sword of Damocles throughout the entire film, but when it finally falls, you don't expect it, and it's a real stab to the heart.Īgain, the script remains triumphant through all of this. From the beginning, you know that it will end in tragedy, with Gin's condition of being 'alive' as such dependent on a lack of physical human contact. However, the film does not forget its subtle, but noticeable baseline that this good thing will end. The development behind the characters themselves, Gin slowly becoming more open in the face of a human, when before he was guarded and distrusting of them, and Hotaru, maturing from a hyperactive young girl into a young woman who continues on without the being that she loved, is incredible, and again, one of the best parts of this film is watching the characters grow. For the times when Hotaru is back at home for school, her longing for the summer and of Gin is heart-wrenching and a reminder of the feeling of falling in love slowly, with someone you've known your entire life. You watch it, accustomed with Hotaru and Gin being by each other's sides for most of the screentime. Really, I think that's what makes it so damn sad at the end. It seems like a typical shoujo anime, heck it probably is your typical shoujo anime, but in the 45 minute runtime, you really see a relationship develop, with no unnecessary drama, following the two mains as they grow together and fall in love together. The script is well written, interspersed with the right amount of humour, with natural conversation flowing between the two main characters. It was a comfortable watch, you didn't have to think about it too much, but all the emotion is still there. Pretty basic, huh? That's what I loved about it. It's easy to follow a young girl gets lost in an enchanted forest, she meets a spirit, they become friends, they grow up together every summer, they fall in love, and then their love ends. I definitely recommend this!! Can't wait to see what Yuki Midorikawa comes up with next! ^^įor something with a pretty basic romantic storyline, Hotarubi no Mori e pulled it off pretty well. Though it would be better if they could get together, but that did not was still beautiful though! But the ending on this movie was too good. Whenever I watch any anime, I am really careful about the ending because even though an anime could be great, the ending could really kill the whole story for me. Seeing them both struggling to hold each other and feel each other's warmth did make my eyes water. It was really heartbreaking to see both Gin and Hotaru growing up to be good friends and eventually falling in love. ![]() The characters were well played and none of them annoyed me, which is a plus point for me. Every scene flowed well into place.īEWARE: READ ANY FURTHER AND THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS!! I am sure that on this movie there are many reviewers who has retold the summary of this story in their own review which I am going to skip over because I I loved her previous work "Natsume Yuuchinjou" and I was hoping this would be another good anime to pass my time on. I started to watch this because it was written by Yuki Midorikawa. Hope you like my review though ^^ ok so lets get on with it. ![]() I am not great at writing reviews, but I am trying to get better so please bare with me on this one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many early Italian Renaissance painters depicted themes from Greek mythology, with disguised connections to Christianity, which had been the dominant religion in the region throughout the centuries before to the movement. Pallas and the Centaur (1482) by Sandro Botticelli Date Completed Let us now take a look at the most famous Greek paintings of gods that greatly influenced art history from the Greek Renaissance art period until today. Greek mythology paintings were not only particularly popular throughout the Renaissance but they also reappeared during the Classical periods of the 18th and 19th centuries. The poetry of Ovid exerted a great effect on the psyche of poets and painters with the rediscovery of ancient antiquity in Greek Renaissance art and remained a vital inspiration in the transmission and interpretation of Greek mythology art. 2.2 Why Did Artists Portray Greek Gods?.1.15 Ariadne (1913) by Giorgio de Chirico.1.14 Ulysses and the Sirens (1891) by John William Waterhouse.1.13 Perseus and Andromeda (1891) by Frederic Leighton. ![]() 1.12 The Lament for Icarus (1898) by Herbert James Draper.1.11 Pygmalion and Galatea (1890) by Jean-Léon Gérôme.1.10 Oedipus and the Sphinx (1864) by Gustave Moreau.1.9 Telemachus and the Nymphs of Calypso (1782) by Angelica Kauffman.1.7 Prometheus Bound (1612) by Peter Paul Rubens and Frans Snyders.1.6 The Fall of Phaeton (1605) by Peter Paul Rubens.1.5 Leda and the Swan (1600) by Peter Paul Rubens.1.3 The Triumph of Galatea (1514) by Raphael.1.2 The Birth of Venus (1486) by Sandro Botticelli.1.1 Pallas and the Centaur (1482) by Sandro Botticelli.1 Exploring Famous Greek Gods Paintings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The rut is the cause of the fighting, but the object seems to be the driving of the weaker male out of an area rather than a desire for any one female. At the scene of a few other encounters, I have seen tracks that showed that there might have been a doe present, but most of the fights which I have checked seem to have been the result of casual meetings and were fought without spectators. On one occasion I saw two bucks fighting and there was a doe present as an apparently disinterested spectator. My observations show that this is not the rule. Many people think that when two bucks fight, the fight is over the possession of one particular doe. I heard no calls made by any deer other than the ones which were alarmed by my presence. If this sound is a call to combat, this experience should have provided some evidence of the fact. None of their calls were answered by other bucks even though there must have been dozens of them within hearing distance. I traveled this trail for about two miles at a time when the deer were moving from the bedding grounds to the feeding area, and in this distance I was challenged no less than eight times by bucks which wanted to cross the trail. Across the trail from this ridge was the daytime bedding ground for these same deer. One evening I was traveling a trail that was located near the foot of a beech ridge that was the feeding ground of at least a hundred deer. Perhaps I am wrong in thinking this way, but until I hear another deer answer, and accept this call as a challenge, I will continue to believe as I do at the present time. This sound (more nasal than vocal) seems to be more of a warning to other deer than a challenge to combat. I have never heard an uninjured deer make any vocal sound during the hunting season except the sound made by startled deer. I have found that if a deer hears any sound that it cannot immediately locate and identify, it will stop and make sure that it is not heading into danger. The fawns are large enough to be on their own at this time and the doe has other things on her mind, I have halted running deer by imitating the cry of a fawn, but I have also stopped them by making other sounds. I know that the cry of a fawn will call a doe during the summer months, yet I have never heard this call in the hunting season. I know that most animals can be attracted by some sort of a noise, and the fact that I have never called a deer is not proof that they cannot be called. Perhaps I have been missing an aid to hunting enjoyment by not trying them. I have been quite successful in bagging my deer without the aid of such a call and I would have to be convinced of their effectiveness before I would buy one. I have never used any of the deer calls that are on the market. But the use of these things I think can take away the fun of the sport and you will not enjoy the hunting anymore. And some even use what they called deer calls found in the market. There are some who believed that deer could be called with some noise. ![]() ![]() ![]() While the case in the film has superficial similarities to the real case - they were both murder trials - Rosenzweig surmises that, at best, Rose was part of the jury pool but ultimately rejected, as he wasn't listed as one of the actual 12 jurors.Īs much as we'd all love to believe that 12 Angry Men, a testament to one person's ability to enact real change, is rooted in reality, Rosenzweig ultimately concluded of Rose, "As a good dramatist, he used his imagination.

By Marisa LaScala / 28 March 2011 Director Andrew Jarecki seeks out stories that thrive on a certain amount of ambiguity. It is also believed he was responsible for two other murders. Though Rose has never named the case that apparently influenced his story, Professor Phil Rosenzweig's new book "Reginald Rose and the Journey of 12 Angry Men" identifies it as 1954's "The People v. The film is based on the real-life disappearance of Kathleen Durst, whose husband, Robert Durst, was suspected of killing and finally arrested and put on trial nearly 20 years after Kathleen disappeared. The film famously involves Henry Fonda's passionate juror Davis swaying a jury to acquit an 18-year old defendant of murder on the basis of reasonable doubt, but a new biography about Rose casts doubt upon any real-life inspiration. Spotlight is an amazing film for several reasons, and from looking at the trailer, many would probably skip this enticing ordeal, not realizing that it is an essential watch on Netflix. Rose claimed that the script was inspired by an actual jury trial he served on, though recent research suggests that's actually not true at all. ![]() ![]() ![]() The newest Chromecast features a built-in library of apps and comes with a Google Assistant voice remote that makes it a great fit for people already plugged into other Google products.īest with Alexa: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max - See at Amazon The Apple TV 4K is the perfect fit for enthusiasts who want powerful performance, extra storage space, and seamless integration with the rest of Apple's ecosystem.īest for Google users: Google Chromecast - See at Walmart ![]() The Fire TV Stick Lite only supports high definition (HD) playback rather than 4K, but it's inexpensive and comes with a handy Alexa voice remote.īest high-end: Apple TV 4K - See at Best Buy The Roku Ultra is the most comprehensive streaming device in its class, with 4K playback, support for every major HDR format, a rechargeable voice remote, and some extra perks like an Ethernet port and USB input.īest budget: Fire TV Stick Lite - See at Amazon If your TV's OS doesn't play nice with other smart devices you already own, you can pick a streaming player that supports the digital assistant you use the most to create an integrated ecosystem.īased on a combination of hands-on testing and a decade worth of experience covering home entertainment products, these are the best streaming devices you can buy for different budgets and types of users.
