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 the 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."

Paralympic 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.
Para-snowboarding

**Para-snowboarding** is a type of snowboarding. People with physical disabilities compete in para-snowboarding.

## Classification

Because people with different types of disability snowboard, people are separated into three groups.  In Paralympic sport, these are called classes.  The classes are SB-LL1, SB-LL2 and SB-UL.
- **SB-LL1**: snowboarders with significant disabilities in on or two of their legs. This class includes people with one or two amputations above their knee.  It also includes people with two amputations below their knee.
- **SB-LL2**: snowboarders with a less significant disability in one or two of their legs.
- **SB-UL**: snowboarders with a disability in one or two of their arms.
Financial regulation

**Financial regulation** is supervision of financial institutions to certain rules and guidelines.

The aim is to keep the financial system honest and legal. Regulation may be done by either a government or non-government organization. Also, financial regulation has increased the variety of financial products available.

In the early modern period, the Dutch were the pioneers in financial regulation. The first recorded regulation was a ban on short selling done by the Dutch authorities in 1610.

## Aims

The objectives of financial regulators are usually:
- market confidence – to keep confidence in the financial system
- financial stability
- consumer protection – getting the right protection for consumers.
Kalapani

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.
