Reception
The approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes is 22% based on 23 critics' reviews.

Diego Semerone gave the movie 0.5 stars out of 4. He said: "The film is an unquestionably pornographic fantasy barely trying to pass as something other than masturbation material. Below Her Mouth'''s stiff acting and dialogue suggest a Blue is the Warmest Color'' influence reduced to sexy aesthetics of lesbian sex."

Katie Walsh from the Los Angeles Times said: "Despite female filmmakers at the helm, the film treads into exploitative territory, with the ratio of screen time given to writhing female bodies far outweighs that given to their unique experience as gay or closeted women in the world."

Giovanni Carnovali

Giovanni Carnovali (29 September 1804 – 5 July 1873) was an Italian painter. He was also known as Piccio, a nickname which means "little one". Most of his paintings were portraits but he also painted scenes from the Bible and Greek and Roman mythology.

Life
Carnovali was born in Montegrino Valtravaglia, a small town near Varese.  His father was a bricklayer. Carnovali showed a very early talent in drawing. In 1815, when he was 11 years old, he was admitted to the Carrara Academy in Bergamo.  His first major public work was The Education of the Virgin. He painted it in 1826. The painting was ordered by the parish church in Almenno San Bartolomeo, a small town near Bergamo. In 1836 Carnovali settled in Milan. His pupils included Tranquillo Cremona.

Carnovali was an eccentric person. He spent hours silently looking at landscapes. He took long trips on foot. In 1831 he walked all the way from the north of Italy to Rome and back. He also walked to Paris in 1845. He liked to be alone. He often did not answer when people knocked on the door of his studio. Carnovali died in 1873 while he was swimming in the Po River near Cremona.

Croc: legend of the Gobbos

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is a platforming video game created by Argonaut Games in 1997. It was made for the PlayStation, and versions of it were later created for the Sega Saturn and for Microsoft Windows computers. The game stars Croc, a green crocodile, who must save his friends, the Gobbos, from the evil Baron Dante.

The game was originally created as a game with Yoshi, a character from Nintendo's Super Mario series of video games. However, Nintendo did not allow the creators to use the character, so a brand new character was created instead.  Croc: Legend of the Gobbos sold well, and was a success for Argonaut. A second game was made in 1999, called Croc 2.

Para-Nordic skiing

Para-Nordic skiing is a type of skiing for people with disabilities.  It includes two sports.  They are cross country skiing and biathlon.  Both sports are for blind people and people with physical disabilities.

Biathlon 
Biathlon uses the same rules created by the International Biathlon Association (IBU).  Some changes have been made to the rules by the International Paralympic Nordic Skiing Committee (IPNNC).

Biathlon is two sports combined. These sports are shooting and cross country skiing.  Biathlon has several types of races.  They are 7.5 km, 12.5 km, and pursuit. During the race, people shoot their guns two to four times.  Each time they shoot, they take five shots.  Depending on the competition, there are two different consequences for missing.  They may get a points penalty.  They may have to ski a penalty distance.

Blind people and people with physical disabilities compete in the biathlon.  People with physical disabilities are separated into two groups.  These are standing skiers and sitting skiers.

Blind people use a special electro-acoustic firing system.  Their helmets have a wireless connection with their weapons.  Using their headphones, they can locate the target.  The closer their weapon is aimed at the target, the louder the sound.

Cross country skiing 
The rules for cross country skiing are similar to the ones created by International Ski Federation (FIS).  They have been modified by the International Para Nordic Skiing Committee (IPNNC). Blind people and people with physical disabilities compete in cross country skiing.  People with physical disabilities are separated into two groups.  These are standing skiers and sitting skiers.  People with physical disabilities who ski while standing are classified from LW2 to LW9.  People with physical disabilities who use a sit ski are classified from LW10 to LW12.  People who are blind are classified from B1 to B3.  People who are blind use a guide skier.  Guide skiers tell a blind skier which direction to ski.

Because people with different types of disabilities ski against each other, a system has been created to make the results more fair.  The person with the best time does not always win.  Instead, the finishing time is multiplied against a percentage.  The percentage is based on how difficult a person's disability makes it to ski.  The time multiplied by the percentages gives a new time result.  This new time is used to determine who wins a race.

Wheelchair curling

Wheelchair curling is a type of curling.  It is for people with physical disabilities.

History 
Curling started to be at the Olympic Games in 1998.  Wheelchair curling was introduced to the Winter Paralympics program in 2002.  People from 16 countries played wheelchair curling in 2017.

Rules 
Wheelchair curling is governed by the World Curling Federation. Wheelchair curlers play on teams of four people.  One person on the team throws a 19.96 kilogram granite stone across an ice track.  The track is 45 meter long. At the end of the track is a big circle.  It has 4 rings.  The diameter is 183 centimeters.  There is a dot in the center.  A team tries to get their stones the closest to the center.  After each team throws ten stones, the team with the most stones closest to the center wins.

The person who throws the stone sits in their chair on a rubber mat.  They use a special stick to assist in throwing the stone.

Eligibility 
People who can play wheelchair curling have to have a disability.  There are several eligible types of disabilities.  They include paraplegics, people with cerebral palsy, people with amputations of the lower limbs, and people with multiple sclerosis.

Mountain pine beetle

Mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a species of insect pest which lives in the forests of western Canada and the United States. The beetle feeds on the inner bark of pine trees like the lodgepole pine, forming tunnels under the bark to lay their eggs. Normally, the mountain pine beetle prefers to attack sick or old trees because they can't defend themselves easily. However, sometimes the beetles become so numerous that they will group up and start attacking healthy trees in massive outbreaks. This makes the control and monitoring of mountain pine beetle very important for the forest industry in Canada and the U.S., because massive outbreaks of mountain pine beetle can kill entire forests.

Recently, a large outbreak of the beetle in British Columbia became a major problem, killing millions of trees across the province. Due to global warming making it easier for the beetle to survive high in the Canadian Rockies, the beetle was able to spread into Alberta, Canada, where the beetle has never been seen before. Scientists are worried that there is nothing stopping the mountain pine beetle from spreading across the entire continent now.

Vertex

A vertex is a corner. More than one vertex are called vertices. A vertex is a point where two or more lines, curves, rays, or sides meet, and is often represented by letters such as , ,  and . 

For example, the vertex of an angle is the point where the two edges of the angle intersect, and a vertex of a cube is simply one of its corners—of which there are 8. 

The concept of vertex applies to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometrical objects. For example, a tetrahedron has 4 vertices, and a pentagon has 5 vertices.

Possessive case

A possessive case is a word or form used to show possession in linguistics. For example, "Ray's bike" means he owns it.

Most European languages have possessive forms of personal pronouns, like the English my, mine, your, yours, his and so on. There are two main ways these can be used:
 Together with a noun, as in my car, your sisters, his boss.
 Without a noun, as in mine is red, I prefer yours, this book is his.
 Its is the neutral possessive case: The cat chased its tail. Not it's, which is a contraction of it is.
