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. 有点多啊。。

意思:参观海洋世界
今天我来到了海洋馆,我看到了好多好多海洋生物,其中我最喜欢的就是鲨鱼了,它有一双尖尖的牙齿,它很长,我很怕鲨鱼,因为鲨鱼会吃人,也会吃别的海洋生物,和鳄鱼一样,都是凶猛的.
不过我还是喜欢他,他这样不会被人欺负
