Hotels-Paris.co.uk - Victorian England Revealed at Musee d'Orsay

2011-07-10

PARIS, FRANCE, July 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) As part of a journey that takes in the V&A Museum in London and the San Francisco Fine Arts Museum, from September 13th until January 15th the iconic Musee d'Orsay in Saint-Germain-des-Pres will be home to an exhibition that charts the seismic artistic shift that took place in Victorian England.

Entitled 'Beauty, Morals and Voluptuousness in the England of Oscar Wilde', the work explores how the expressive photography, painting, literature and fashion of the time all contributed to a move away from the long held Victorian values.

Including work by Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti amd James McNeill Whistler, it is certainly worth a stroll along the Seine to see it.

Hotels-Paris.co.uk has a variety of cheap hotels to choose from near Paris city centre. Helvetia is just one of many comfortable, convenient options available.

Fewer rain storms across southern Australia

2011-07-10

Decreasing autumn and winter rainfall over southern Australia has been attributed to a 50-year decrease in the average intensity of storms in the region – a trend which is forecast to continue for another 50 years. In an address today to the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics conference in Melbourne, CSIRO climate scientist, Dr Jorgen Frederiksen, said these changes are due to reductions in the strength of the mid-latitude jet stream and changes in atmospheric temperatures. The jet stream comprises fast moving westerly winds in the upper atmosphere. "The ...

Dr Keywood said it is likely that fire – one of nature's primary carbon-cycling mechanisms – will become an increasingly important driver of atmospheric change as the world warms. "Understanding changes in the occurrence and magnitude of fires will be an important challenge for which there needs to be a clear focus on the tools and methodologies available to scientists to predict ...

Scientists find 'brake-override' proteins that enable development of some cancers

2011-07-10

Scripps Research Institute scientists have discovered a basic mechanism that can enable developing cancer cells to sustain abnormal growth. The finding is expected to lead to the targeting of this mechanism with drugs and diagnostic techniques. The study, which recently appeared in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, illuminates the roles of two nearly identical proteins, Cks1 and Cks2. These proteins were known to be overexpressed in many cancers, but scientists hadn't understood why. Now it appears that Cks proteins' overexpression ...
