Balla can often be overly literal in his depiction of movement (as in his "Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash" of 19520, where the dog's scurrying legs and wagging tale are rendered as time-lapsed blurs), but his works here are almost entirely abstract and refreshingly restrained.

Matthew Green, a cryptography professor at Johns Hopkins, flagged the change in a critical blog post at the weekend — entitled Why I'm done with Chrome — arguing that the new "forced login" feature blurs the previously strong barrier between "never logged in" and "signed in", and thus erodes user trust.

The two work in tandem: At some point during a particularly woozy feast, the camera blurs the background into a swirl of colors, Bobby Krlic's spine-chilling score swells, and we're lost in this sensorial assault of fertility, decay and human feeling that threatens to swallow the characters whole.

"I went down to rescue you / I went all the way down / I went down for the remains / Sort through all your blurs and stains" could feasibly be a read of anyone from the Seattle/grunge scene, or simply about being submerged in something you can't escape from.

Bijoux d'artistes also provocatively pairs this art-jewelry treasury with sculptures, weavings, paintings, photographs, tapestries, and ceramics, which poses a vociferous problem: Bijoux d'artistes is undeniably a pleasurable experience to take in, but it is also troubling, as it blurs the intellectual line shielding art from decadent trivialization.

But as someone who's covered the Amazon during its latest boom and bust, I've seen that the carnage within the prison walls is a consequence of a more insidious crisis in the world's largest forest: narco-corruption that blurs the line between cops and hitmen, governors and kingpins.

Perhaps that is why flora is increasingly an expansive medium for artists; no other material so explicitly blurs the line between fine art and decoration that was created in the early 20th century, and which left floral art on one side of the divide and sculpture on the other.

Mr. Pruitt's mostly behind-the-scenes relationship with Mr. Craft is emblematic of his unorthodox approach to leading the E.P.A., where he often blurs the lines between personal and official relationships and has created the impression at times that he does the bidding of the industries the agency regulates.

Games like Borderlands gave way to Destiny, which has inspired this month's release of Tom Clancy's The Division, one of the many similar Tom Clancy games — later this year, we may see the release of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, another open-world game that blurs single-player and multiplayer shooters.

A larger group of composers, among them Lisa Bielawa, Noam Sivan, Eric Nathan and Anthony Cheung, put Ms. Koh through her paces with athletic works that employed many of the challenges Paganini specialized in: extreme jumps in register, double- and triple-stopped notes, trills, blurs of fast runs and arpeggios.

While it is popular now to build a house that blurs the distinction between outside and in, that usually requires massive sliding doors — which would preclude the almost monklike approach Nevins has taken with her home, where she lives alone, designed in collaboration with the New Haven architect Peter de Bretteville.

A software update that will be made available by the end of the year will also enable "Portrait" mode, which blurs out the background to render bokeh (the out of focus background that's the result of a large aperture â€" that's a low f-stop number â€" and shallower depth of field).

The perfect tinted moisturizer is the true MVP in your everyday routine, a lightweight cream, gel, or oil that blurs your pores and evens your skin tone but stays humble, completely invisible to a well-lit vanity mirror, an iPhone flash, and even your best friend across the table at bunch who tells you your skin is glowing.

For another — and not incidentally — it made it seem like anyone giving Sessions a tough time was trying to delegitimize the Trump administration entirely, trying to portray it as a propped-up Putin puppet — which blurs the line between criticism and sedition, and makes it easier to dismiss your opponents as paranoid loons or outright traitors.

What emerges in Neil Jordan's haunting 1992 thriller about an Irish Republican Army member and the relationship he forms with a captured British soldier encapsulates all the best elements of UK crime dramas like Sexy Beast and This Is England, elevates them to the level of a war film, and blurs the edges with a wash of noir romance.

If you watched this debate, you would come away with a very clear picture: "Radical Muslims" — a deliberately vague phrase that blurs who is and is not a threat — are flowing in to this country to destroy it from within, they are poised to overwhelm our weakened military from without, and "political correctness" prevents our law enforcement from keeping us safe.

It started when she saw Marian and Alice (Sydney Sweeney) in the woods while she was looking for Amma in the woods at the end of episode 5 (both are wearing white dresses, which feels significant), and now whenever she looks at Amma with her guard down (or while rolling and high on drugs) she blurs the images of her sister, her roommate, and her half-sister in her head.

At the Post, for instance, Jeff Bezos has provided incredible resources to bring the Post back to its glory days, and he has technologists sitting right next to reporters at the news desk, and that makes for a better user experience, but the Post and the Times are now also all in on native advertising, and I think that's dangerous and blurs the lines between what's news and what's advertising.

But in between secularism and traditionalism lies the most American approach to matters of faith: a religious individualism that blurs the line between the God out there and the God Within, a gnostic spirituality that constantly promises access to a secret and personalized wisdom, a gospel of health and wealth that insists that the true spiritual adept will find both happiness and money, a do-it-yourself form of faith that encourages syncretism and relativism and the pursuit of "your truth" (to borrow one of Oprah's Golden Globes phrases) in defiance of the dogmatic and the skeptical alike.

They lasted anywhere between three and six days and became this sort of smeared haze of weed smoke and vodka bottles and pizza and sleeping and wearing the same socks three days in a row—the socks orange, at the bottom of them, somehow stained that color with a rigorous cycle of damp bathroom floors and sticky kitchen surfaces and the weird matted carpet in the lounge of your student housing—the kind of weekends that go on forever, go on so long you forget what day it is, a weekend that blurs into the vague shape of a week—it squidges, right up to the edges—but never quite fills it.
