Da Vinci 'claw hand' may have impaired later art: study

Paris — Leonardo da Vinci may have suffered traumatic nerve damage that left him with a "claw hand", impairing his ability to paint in later life, a new study said.The damage could have been the result of a fainting episode, according to Italian research published Friday in the British Royal Society of Medicine journal.Reconstructive surgeon David Lazzeri and neurologist Carlo Rossi said the handicap prevented the Renaissance artist from even holding his palette in his right hand, though he continued to draw with his left.Many researchers have assumed that the palsy of his right hand stemmed from a stroke or Dupuytren's contracture, a condition that causes fingers to become permanently bent.The two scientists reached their finding by studying a chalk drawing of da Vinci...

Pitbull takes on 'UglyDolls', bullying and self-acceptance

Los Angeles —An animated film about misfit toys seems an unlikely fit for a smooth reggaeton rapper, but Pitbull is front and center in "UglyDolls" and he loves the message it sends.The film, which opened Friday in North America, tells the story of toys who have been discarded for not being "perfect" -- and the resolve of one doll, Moxy (singer Kelly Clarkson), to be loved by a child someday."Perfection doesn't exist and what I want for young people, for kids, is for them to appreciate what it is to be different, that it's something good," Pitbull, who plays UglyDog in the film, told AFP in an interview.Pitbull -- real name, Armando Christian Perez -- is joined in the cast by a host of other musicians, including country star Blake Shelton, pop...
