shark-skin like swimsuit
A new high-performance swimsuit,developed by mimicking the skin of sharks,will be worn by top athletes in Athens from this week.
The revolutionary new fabric,developed by Speedo,is the result of four years of research and development that began with the study of shark skin at the Natural History Museum .
The new swimsuit,called Fastskin FSII,increases a swimmer's speed by reducing passive drag through water by up to 4% more than the next best swimsuit.
Research into shark skin texture and movement through water was carried out under the guidance of Natural History Museum fish expert Ollie Crimmen.
Tiny 'teeth' cover the surface of a shark's skin and the shape and positioning of these 'teeth' vary across the body to manage the flow of water.
With these findings Speedo created a full 'bodyskin' with different fabrics on different parts of the body and for the first time,male- and female-specific and stroke-specific swimsuits.
Some mob movies are intentionally funny.Others carry all the blunt force of a baseball bat."Shark Tale," a computer-animated mob spoof ---- not incidentally featuring the voices of two men previously involved in a mob movie co-starring a baseball bat ---- goes for funny.
The end result of a film made by some of the same people who brought us "Shrek" is a visually creative underwater escapade,often charming and amusing,but not supremely clever or all that heart-tugging."Shark Tale" swims as a technically impressive entertainment,hip and supercool,but not totally engaging.
The story is of Oscar,voiced by Will Smith,who is at the bottom of the food chain,working at the local whale wash.Oscar talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk,seeking fame and glamour but never choosing wisely in his attempts to find those things.If it wasn't for the well-meaning advice of co-worker Angie (Renee Zellweger),an angelfish who harbors a secret affection for Oscar,he would be even deeper into his go-nowhere approach.
Things change thanks to happenstance.The mob-boss shark,Don Lino (Robert De Niro),runs things but has trouble getting his vegetarian son,Lenny (Jack Black),to display the toughness necessary to become a boss himself.When Oscar quite accidentally slays Don Lino's other son,Frankie,then takes undeserving credit for the kill,he becomes a hero and cultural superstar,acquiring the wealth and fame he always desired.
Trouble comes when Oscar must then repeatedly prove he's the shark-slayer he claims.Along with the way,and with the help or interference of several other comical characters ---- voiced by Martin Scorsese,Angelina Jolie,Peter Falk,Katie Couric and other talents,Oscar learns the true meaning of self-respect.
"Shark Tale" is loaded with amiable gags and likable characters,and some juicy touches that end up very funny,such as when a squirming,squealing shrimp is pleading for his life to great comical effect.It also has a primary lesson of accepting yourself and who you are as its main teaching,along with sidebar issues about respect and playing fair.
It all adds up to a reasonably amusing but not oh-wow experience,lacking the same look-at-that ingenuity as "Shrek," even if some of the small touches are very clever.
The movie gives us a chance to hear old pals De Niro and Scorsese trading funny lines ---- many of them improvised ---- taking us back to their many collaborations,including "GoodFellas," referenced above.
Smith is ready-made for the role,and other supporting voices fit just fine.Ultimately,"Shark Tale" is just that ---- fine ---- though nowhere close to a genre breakthrough.Instead,it's a mildly entertaining underwater escapade,a little too aware of itself and its hip intentions,but sometimes dazzling to observe.

一些黑帮电影是故意搞笑。其他携带的所有钝力棒球棒。“鲨鱼黑帮”,电脑动画暴徒恶搞——不是顺便说一下,之前两人的声音参与黑帮电影共同主演的棒球棒——搞笑。
电影的'最终结果由一些相同的人们给我们带来的“怪物史莱克”是一个视觉创意水下越轨行为,通常都是迷人和有趣的,但不是非常聪明或heart-tugging。“鲨鱼黑帮”游泳技术令人印象深刻的娱乐,臀部和过冷,但不是完全接触。
奥斯卡的故事,由威尔·史密斯表示,他是食物链底部的,工作在当地的鲸鱼洗。奥斯卡会谈讨论但不付诸行动,寻求名声和魅力,却从未在他试图找到明智地选择这些事情。如果不是同事安琪的忠告(蕾妮·齐薇格),一位神仙鱼港口一个秘密喜欢奥斯卡,他甚至会深入无尽的方法。
事情改变由于偶发事件。鲨鱼黑帮老大,里诺(罗伯特·德尼罗),运行情况,但麻烦他素食的儿子,莱尼(杰克·布莱克),以显示所需的韧性成为老板本人。当奥斯卡很意外杀人里诺的其他儿子,弗兰基,就不值得信贷杀死,他成为一个英雄和文化巨星,获得财富和名声他总是期望。
麻烦时奥斯卡必须一再证明他是shark-slayer他声称。,和其他几个滑稽人物的帮助或干扰——由马丁·斯科塞斯,安吉丽娜朱莉,彼得·福尔克凯蒂·库里克和其他人才,奥斯卡学会自尊的真正含义。
“鲨鱼黑帮”满载着和蔼可亲的笑料和可爱的人物,和一些多汁的触动,很有趣的,比如当一个蠕动,啸声虾是恳求他的生命伟大的滑稽的效果。它还接受自己,你是谁的一个主要教训作为其主要的教学,以及侧栏问题尊重和公平。
这一切加起来相当有趣的但不是哦哇的
这部电影给了我们一个机会听到老朋友德尼罗和斯科塞斯交易有趣的台词——其中许多简易——带我们回到他们的许多合作,包括“好家伙”,上面的引用。
史密斯是现成的角色,和其他支持的声音配合得很好。最终,“鲨鱼黑帮”就是——好——虽然离一个类型的突破。相反,它是一个温和的娱乐水下越轨行为,有点太意识到本身和它的臀部的意图,但有时令人眼花缭乱的观察。
一天下午，我阅读了《大白鲨收徒》这篇童话故事，这个故事主要讲了一只狂妄的大白鲨收徒时遇到了身体平扁的小豹鳎鱼，自认为了不起的大白鲨却被豹鳎鱼分泌的乳白色毒液毒晕了，最终小精灵以“要求大白鲨以后不要那么残忍，那么霸道”为条件将大白鲨救活。
大白鲨自认为小豹鳎鱼很弱，自已很强大，可实际上它却是鲨鱼的"克星"。
我们生活中也有这样的情况。我的体育不好，跑步慢。记得有一次50*8的.跑步，当我们班李同学轻松地跑完的时候我才跑到第4组，虽然我很努力，但就是跑不快，跑到第7组时，我听到一阵笑声，回头一看，原来是早就跑完的李同学发出大笑声：“哈哈哈，朱佳宁，你跑得太慢啦……”我当时气坏了，便使出浑身解数跑完了剩下的2组。第二天英语课，misswu安排了一次默写，结束后，李同学叹口气说：“哎，肯定不及格了……”分数出来后，果然不出他所料，而我仍然得了100分，这时他对我的崇拜与羡慕之情绝不亚于我对他跑步成绩的羡慕，他对我发出求救信号，我心里挣扎着到底要不要帮帮他呢。不过本能教他一个单词时，突然回想起昨天他嘲笑我跑步慢的情景，它就像一个胶带似的，封住了我的嘴，我犹豫了一会儿，内心继续挣扎着……本想两件事能相互抵消，以求个心里安慰，但转念一想，我和他还是好朋友呢，再又想起了妈妈曾经对我说过“男孩子不管在什么时候要宽宏大量，不能小气”，想到这里，我就不加思索地将我知道的豪无保留地告诉了他，他也由衷地感谢了我，至此我们之间的友谊更深了。
每个人都有长处和短处，李同学跑步快，我的某些主课好，我们在一起应该团结互助，取长补短，这样共同进步都可以成为优秀的学生了。
