The dodo was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter tall, weighing about 20 kilograms, living on fruit and nesting on the ground. The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century. It is commonly used as the archetype of an extinct species because its extinction occurred during recorded human history, and was directly attributable to human activity. The phrase "dead as a dodo" means undoubtedly and unquestionably dead, whilst the phrase "to go the way of the dodo" means to become extinct or obsolete, to fall out of common usage or practice, or to become a thing of the past.

Auction prices for contemporary Chinese art have been soaring. The contemporary Chinese art market is hot and draws remarkable attention from both the art world and the general public. High prices were achieved at auction houses worldwide. Along with this boom of contemporary Chinese art, important questions need to be raised: Who are the major players in this market? Is it a lasting interest or just an ephemeral trend? Will the fast boom result in a fast burst? Does the success in the market result in or derive from popular and critical success? Do the high prices affect the creation of artworks? How do the prices achieved for these art works reveal underlying meanings? By analyzing the price records of contemporary Chinese art at the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Doktor Faust is an opera by Ferruccio Busoni with a libretto by the composer himself based on the myth of Faust. Busoni worked on the opera, which he intended as his masterpiece, between 1916 and 1924, but it was still incomplete at the time of his death. His pupil Philipp Jarnach finished the opera posthumously. More recently, in 1982, Antony Beaumont completed the opera using sketches by Busoni which were previously thought to have been lost. Nancy Chamness has published an analysis of the libretto to Doktor Faust and a comparison with Goethe's version. Doktor Faust was given its world premiere at the Sachsiches Staatstheater, Dresden on 21 May 1925 using the version completed by Philipp...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dollfie is a brand of vinyl doll created by the Japanese company Volks in 1997. It is a highly-poseable hybrid of fashion doll and action figure. A Dollfie doll is about the size of a Barbie doll, 1/6 or playscale, though there are variants in different heights ranging from 23–29 cm. Dollfie dolls generally come blank, i.e., their heads are not painted. When an artist paints a Dollfie, the technique is referred to as a "face-up" or "make-up". This is usually done using acrylic paints and special sealer to keep the color from coming off with play. The finished dolls are usually collected for customization and photography shoots. Dollfie dolls are much more flexible than typical Barbie-style...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The dolly zoom effect is an unsettling in-camera special effect that appears to undermine normal visual perception in film. The effect is achieved by using the setting of a zoom lens to adjust the angle of view (often referred to as field of view) while the camera dollies (or moves) towards or away from the subject in such a way as to keep the subject the same size in the frame throughout. In its classic form, the camera is pulled away from a subject whilst the lens zooms in, or vice-versa. Thus, during the zoom, there is a continuous perspective distortion, the most directly noticeable feature being that the background appears to change size relative to the subject. As the human visual system...

Lexicography is divided into two related disciplines: Practical lexicography is the art or craft of compiling, writing and editing dictionaries. Theoretical lexicography is the scholarly discipline of analyzing and describing the semantic, syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships within the lexicon (vocabulary) of a language, developing theories of dictionary components and structures linking the data in dictionaries, the needs for information by users in specific types of situation, and how users may best access the data incorporated in printed and electronic dictionaries. This is sometimes referred to as 'metalexicography'. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается...
