Analysing the data recently presented by Jiankui He and assuming that it is authentic shows that the goal of abolishing the expression of CCR5 may have been reached for one of the resulting twins, although this remains to be proven. However, the canonical delta32 mutation has not been achieved. The various preliminary experiments and controls give some confidence that major off-target modifications have not occurred; again, this is difficult to exclude. Clearly, the requirements of perfect technical mastery of the process have not been met, to say nothing of the requirements for complete transparency and full societal approval.

Technical Mastery

There are several features that we have come to expect from an expert performance: technical mastery, confidence, originality, flexibility, and a true understanding of the musical style. Yet the feature that both performers and listeners appear to regard as the most important is that the performer is expressive. The most-loved artists are commonly the ones that are able to express and evoke emotions in listeners. Previous studies have mainly concerned how performers express emotions, and this article focuses on this question. The article first provides working definitions of key concepts (e.g. expression, communication), and considers how performers conceive of these issues. It then reviews up-to-date evidence on how performers express emotions. Finally, the article proposes directions for future research.

Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, and "L'occhio" "minore" of Florence Cathedral

Florence Cathedral continues to yield surprises, and it is not always necessary to dig for them. A detail as small and seemingly insignificant as a keystone is here revealed as evidence of a trecento project for a set of minor lanterns. Ironically, but for good reasons, this scheme was abandoned by the very architects who in all likelihood actually crafted the keystone, Filippo Brunelleschi and Lorenzo Ghiberti. The detail is full of implications about Early Renaissance architectural practice, and it would be the first documented, completed architectural "work" involving Brunelleschi.

This chapter considers how prison technology is especially one-sided and imposed because it is not shared. Philosopher Jacques Ellul has argued that technical mastery (technopoly) can narrow thought and make it less sensitive to human dimensions and needs. Criminologists call this level of total technological imposition “a habitus of subjection.” In “total institutions,” prison theorists agree that current modes of technical use have led to “mortification of the self.” The bad aspects of prison technology are indeed bad. The United States has so many people in prison and jail and many more under legal surveillance because technology has made it possible.

The 19Th Century

Thus, our scientific research led to the conclusion that the applied art which originated in the previous centuries continued to develop along with other branches of the culture of Artsakh in the second half of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX century.  In this scientific article, we have presented mainly the following branches of the applied arts of Artsakh: carpet weaving, handicrafts, embroidery, silversmithing, pottery. We have mainly presented interesting information about the branches of the applied art which were covered in the periodicals of the second half of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX century. Noting about the carpet weaving of Artsakh, we emphasized that the carpets of that region of Artsakh stood out with their color structure, richness of ornaments, technical mastery. We highlighted the role of handicrafts in the life of Armenian women, emphasizing that this form of the applied art was developed in Artsakh in the Middle Ages. In this article, we also presented a number of pottery samples found during excavations by foreign archaeologists.

The aim of the research to create and experimentally substantiate complexes of exercises, based on the method of postisometric relaxation, directed toward technical poses improvement of the Latin American program by highly-qualified dancers. Research methods: For the pedagogical experiment two groups of dancers were formed (control and experimental group) each group included 12 people. Unlike the control group the training process of dancers from the experimental group included the complexes of physical exercises based on the methodology of postisometric relaxation. Pedagogical experiment was held during 6 months (since September, 2018 till February, 2019). In terms of the research we measured the development level of flexibility of different muscles groups and defined the degree of mastering the technique of poses fulfillment by dancers. Research results. We created the complexes of exercises, based on the methodology of postisometric relaxation, directed toward technique of poses fulfillment of the Latin American program by athletes- dancers. According to the results of statistic data handling it was revealed that the created by us complexes had positive influence on spine and hip joints flexibility development. It provided poses fulfillment technique development during competitive activity of athletes-dancers from the experimental group. Conclusion. Thus, using the method of postisometric relaxation during the training process of athletes- dancers provides purposeful increase of their technical mastery owing to qualitative poses fulfillment during competitive activity.
