Crimée é uma estação da linha 7 do Metrô de Paris, localizada no 19.º arrondissement de Paris.

Situação
A estação está localizada na avenue de Flandre, ao nordeste do cruzamento com a rue de Crimée.

História
A estação foi inaugurada em 5 de novembro de 1910 com o lançamento da primeira seção da linha 7 entre Opéra e Porte de la Villette.

Ela leva o seu nome da rue de Crimée, situada nas proximidades, cujo nome comemora a Guerra da Crimeia (1855-1856).

Em 2011, 7 183 997 passageiros entraram nesta estação. Ela viu entrar 6 613 387 passageiros em 2015, o que a coloca na 48ª posição das estações de metrô por sua frequência.

Em 01 de abril de 2016, metade das placas de nome nas plataformas da estação foram substituídas pela RATP para fazer um dia da mentira por um dia, como em doze outras estações. Crimée foi humoristicamente renomeada como "Crimée Châtiment" em referência ao romance Crime e Castigo de Fiódor Dostoiévski.

Serviços aos passageiros

Acesso
A estação possui três acessos divididos em quatro entradas de metrô:

 Acesso 1: Avenue de Flandre (centro comercial): Duas escadas estabelecidas de lado a lado face ao nº 119, avenue de Flandre;
 Acesso 2: Caisse nationale d'assurance vieillesse: uma escada levando ao início do impasse de Joinville, sob o imóvel do nº 108, avenue de Flandre;
 Acesso 3: Rue Mathis: uma escada situada à direita do nº 2, rue Mathis, na esquina com a rue de Crimée e a avenue de Flandre; é ornado com uma edícula Guimard, que é objeto de uma inscrição como monumento histórico pelo decreto de 27 de maio de 1978.

Plataformas
Crimée é uma estação de configuração padrão: ela possui duas plataformas laterais separadas pelas vias do metrô e a abóbada é elíptica. A decoração é em estilo "Ouï-dire" amarelo: as faixas de iluminação, da mesma cor, são suportadas por consoles curvos em forma de foice. A iluminação direta é branca, enquanto que a iluminação indireta, projetada na abóbada, é multicolorida. As telhas em cerâmica brancas são planas e recobrem os pés-direitos, a abóbada e os tímpanos. Os quadros publicitários são de cor amarela e cilíndricos e o nome da estação é inscrito em fonte Parisine em placas esmaltadas. As plataformas são equipadas com assentos "coque", típicos do estilo "Motte", cuja tonalidade, passada do amarelo ao azul, rompe a uniformidade colorimétrica da decoração, bem como de bancos "assis-debout" prateados.

Intermodalidade
A estação é servida pelas linhas 54 e 60 da rede de ônibus RATP e, à noite, pela linha N42 da rede Noctilien.

Migration: a visual map of one month's Twitter exchanges
HB | 7th March 2018 21st March 2018 | Development Studies
Human migration is one of the most contentious issues of our time. Whether it's the plight of refugees seeking sanctuary from civil war and ethnic cleansing; asylum seekers risking their lives to cross the Mediterranean; or the precarious status of European economic migrants living in the UK, the movement of peoples divides societies the world over.
Over the course of 28 days in October 2017 we tracked the engagement between Twitter users as they discussed 'migration', and then mapped our findings using a visual representation.
Explore the full map here.
From afar, key clusters leap out. On the lower half of the map (in light blue) is Nigel Farage, the centre of dense exchanges. Branching northwards from him, in red, is The Voice of Europe, and southwest of him, in blue, Donald Trump.
In the upper part of the map, others are expressing their views, responding to existing statements, or initiating new threads. At least, that would be a reasonable assumption from all the interwoven activity. Unfortunately, though, the map doesn't offer up the content of the tweets, only – by zooming in on each cluster – details of different organisations: Human Rights Watch, Médecins du Monde, Belgium Young Diplomats, EU Council TV News, EU Observer, Danish Refugee Council, Migration Matters, The Financial Times, World Bank Turkey, Noticias Venezuela, and others that have participated in exchanges.
Searching through Twitter for the nature of the content of the tweets, October saw numerous quarterly reports published about migration flows. Government organisations discussed 'migration' in relation to New Zealand, Libya, Syria, and other parts of the world, including Europe.
On 31 October 2017 (the last day of the month being monitored), the IOM – UN Migration Agency issued a statement about the number of people arriving on Europe's shores, by sea, in 2017. Their tweet, which was retweeted 87 times, stated:
'Breaking: 149,785 #migrants & # refugees arrived by sea to Europe. 2,826 dead/missing.
The agency gave a link to 'Missing Migrants' website. The Missing Migrants Project tracks incidents involving migrants, including refugees and asylum-seekers, who have died or gone missing in the process of migration towards an international destination.
So, what are the findings?
On the one hand the map, which is visually striking – it could pass as a postmodern work of art – offers up information. It shows interconnections between people – how groups and individuals have engaged with a particular topic. Closer analysis yields up names, and with patience it might be possible to match up each contributor with what they had written.
On the other hand, it guards its neutrality. What weight should be given to the frenzied activity around a few individuals? Does it reflect influence, or the capacity to generate knee-jerk reactions?
Was October 2017 a representative month, in terms of capturing exchanges about one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of the early 21st century by key players from across the political spectrum worldwide? Or is it an arbitrary 'snapshot' of exchanges about migration, which happened to have taken place in October 2017? How speculative is it to interpret a circle of engagement as inward-looking: an 'echo-chamber'?
The map's surface accessibility is its appeal. It provides an intriguing glimpse of a future where everyone's conversations are recorded, along with their thoughts. Or perhaps that is now? If the map represented an international criminal network, detectives would have a field day sifting through the data.
For a researcher in 'migration', the data might offer fresh leads; and snapshots from other months, or key periods give yardsticks for comparison.
In the meantime, in the first two months of this year (to 27 Feb 2018), the Missing Migrants website records 651 migrant fatalities. The causes of death, by region, ranged from drowning and hypothermia in the Mediterranean, to frostbite in the Middle East, vehicle accident in Africa and 'unknown (skeletal remains)' in the Americas.
Enough talk, time for action?

As long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed designing and building stuff. I have clear memories of building things with tinkertoy when I was around 3 years old, and as I grew up I made the usual progression through Lego, mechano, balsa wood models, electronics, software, ... The stuff you can build is limited only by the properties of the building materials, your skill level and knowledge, and your imagination. Well, wouldn't it be cool if you could build stuff out of molecules? If, through synthetic biology, you could craft some DNA to create the necessary infrastructure within a cell to create a tiny manufacturing plant for, say, carbon nanotubes?
First thing to do when some far out idea like this pops into your head is to see if someone else has thought of it too (which is almost always the case).
As we become more adept at modifying proteins not just for binding but for catalysis, the nanotechnologist can begin to glimpse some rather dizzying prospects. Can one design an enzyme that constructs carbon nanotubes , perhaps even with a specified diameter and chirality (and hence electronic structure)? Could such a molecule then be fitted with a recognition tag that will ensure it does its job of construction only at a particular location in a semiconductor landscape?
Natural proteins and protein-based assemblies have shown considerable potential for nanotechnological applications. The light-activated proton pump bacteriorhodopsin, a membrane protein that regulates the pH of some bacterial cells, is perhaps the prototype, having been used over 10 years ago as a material for optical molecular data storage .
crosslinked copolymers with a hydrophilic–hydrophobic–hydrophilic sandwich structure, mimicking the environment of lipid membranes. Ho et al  used bacteriorhodopsin immobilized in such a polymer membrane to actively pump protons against a pH gradient and thereby to reduce hydrogen ion leakage across the proton exchange membrane of a fuel cell.
More ambitiously, can we imagine designing a cell that will build a genuine photovoltaic cell based on the chloroplast, or a versatile and programmable polymer synthesis factory based on the ribosome?
Ames is focusing on a major component of all cells (proteins) that are capable of self-assembling into highly ordered structures. A protein known as HSP60, which spontaneously forms nano-scale ring structures that can be induced to form chains or filaments is currently being studied.
With thermostable HSP60s, highly efficient methods have been developed for purifying large quantities of these proteins; their composition and structure-forming capabilities are being currently modified by using the "tools" of molecular biology. For example, if a small fragment of the HSP60 protein is removed, protein rings are produced that do not form chains or filaments, but continue to form rings that spontaneously assemble into highly ordered hexagonally packed arrays. If these proteins are modified to bind metal atoms, they can be used as a template to create an ordered pattern of metal on a surface with nanometer spacing. Ultimately the hope is to use such ordered arrays of metal to manufacture nano-scale electronic devices. Similarly, metal binding to proteins that form filaments may be used to create self-assembling nano-scale wires, which may someday be used to produce self-assembling circuits.
There are currently about 300 BioBricks, and another 800 parts have been built by combining those into composite BioBricks. Knight and his collaborators presented results on a next generation of the system called BioBricks++.
Just as object-oriented programming constructs allowed programmers to quickly combine previous software modules into more complex systems, the BioBricks++ system has standard interfaces for all DNA segments that can be combined in any sequence using commercially available enzymes.


The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Certified Professional Accountants Afghanistan (CPA Afghanistan) have signed a partnership agreement following on a 2015 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The new agreement will focus on capacity building projects and the support of CPA Afghanistan's growth, which includes mentoring CPA Afghanistan for IFAC membership. ACCA and CPA Afghanistan will also examine the possibility of jointly branded reports and surveys on global topics.

New reports suggest that Taylor Swift will likely testify in the upcoming groping case. According to reports, the "Shake It Off" singer will testify in the groping case which is expected to last about two weeks. It is also reported that opening statements could commence on Tuesday.
Swift has managed to stay out of the media for about six months now but it seems fans will be seeing more of the singer this week as she is about to take on David Mueller. It is reported by People via Yahoo that the Grammy winner will be testifying against Mueller, a radio talk show host who allegedly groped the singer during a pre-concert meet-and-greet. The incident took place when Swift, who is now 27 was just 23 years old.
However, Mueller sued Swift two years after the alleged incident claiming damages for being accused falsely. He filed a lawsuit against the singer in September 2015, claiming that he lost his job after Swift's security team falsely accused him of groping her at the Pepsi Center on June 2, 2013. He argued that Swift should have gone to the police instead of informing his bosses, who did not hesitate to fire Mueller. In addition, he also alleged that his colleague, Eddie Haskell, also assaulted swift sexually. He requested the court to grant him $3 million in damages.
It is reported by the Hollywood reporter that Swift countersued Mueller a month later claiming redress for sexual assault. The countersuit stated that "Ms. Swift knows exactly who committed the assault—it was Mueller—and she is not confused in the slightest about whether her long-term business acquaintance, Mr. Haskell, was the culprit." The singer is also reported to have said Mueller intentionally reached under her skirt, and groped an intimate part of her body with his hand, against her will, and without her permission and in an inappropriate manner. Interesting court documents have revealed that it is unlikely that either party will resolve for settlement.
Swift is now seeking the court to award her $1 million plus holding the Mueller responsible so as to serve as an example for his likes. Furthermore, the singer will not be the only one testifying against Mueller, as her mother, Andrea Swift, her photographer who captured the incident, her bodyguard and a senior member of her management team will also be testifying. However, Mueller, as well as his former boss and some members of Swift's entourage will also testify.
The singer has promised to donate any damages awarded to her from the suit to "charitable organizations dedicated to protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard." It is reported that it might be difficult for fans who intend to attend the trial to get seats as only 32 seats will be available each day during the trial. The seats will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be available for the first 32 people in line starting at 7 a.m.

Ex-superintendent gets 3 1/2 years in bank robbery
Beth LeBlanc
A former Dryden schools superintendent will spend at least three and a half years in prison in the armed robbery of a Brockway Township bank.
Thomas Goulette, 51, was sentenced Monday to three and a half years to 20 years in prison on a charge of armed robbery, according to court records.
A restitution amount will be submitted at a later date by Tri-County Bank.
Goulette pleaded guilty in April to the Jan. 7 robbery of Tri-County Bank in Brockway Township.
During his plea hearing, Goulette said he entered the bank with a starter pistol and demanded money from tellers. After receiving the money, he fled the bank in a pickup.
Police later identified Goulette's pickup through tips to the sheriff department. Goulette was arrested and arraigned on a charge of armed robbery.
Goulette was the superintendent of Dryden Community Schools from 2005 to 2013.
Goulette also is charged in Lapeer County for armed robbery and bank robbery in relation to the Jan. 8 robbery of an Oxford Bank branch in Dryden Township.
Lapeer County Prosecutor Tim Turkelson said Goulette will appear for a hearing in the case in Lapeer Ccounty via video June 13. He said Goulette's case was delayed to allow time for the St. Clair County case to be completed.
Gouletete also is a founder of Just Right Fitness Solutions LLC in Armada.

I defined the angular app in a app.js which located at assets/js/app.js.
var cineApp = angular.module('cineApp', ['ngRoute', 'ui.bootstrap']);

So, why angularjs is working when sails running in development mode, but no in production mode.

A: a is probably a minified form of something. This will happen if you minify your code and don't annotate your injected functions properly in one of these two ways:

function myFun($http, $timeout) {
};
myFun.$inject = ['$http', '$timeout'];

With this being my first experience with Echo Bloom and their music, I am considerably awed by the never-ending beauty and power of the lyrical writing and eclectic arrangement of instrumentals in Blue Shift. An incredible, fun, humbling, emotional performance, Blue Shift illustrates what band-leader, guitarist and song-writer Kyle Evans terms "folk-estral" music. Intoning lyrics rich with biblical allusions– lending the album a subtle, overarching theme of personal spirituality– and backed by a variety of instruments such as the oboe, violin and banjo, this live performance album is articulately and fantastically arranged, a truly magical experience. My review accordingly follows the nine songs performed live, which you can view as individual videos here.
Leading with a performance of "Fireworks," Echo Bloom begins their poetic, performance journey with a truthful song that compares the beauty and brevity of life to a firework. Growing throughout the song from a single guitar and voice to include the orchestral variety of instruments (piano, violins, french horns, cello, bass), this song will have you running through an equally large symphony of emotional responses: a contentedness felt only when you truly relax and live within the moment; and an uncomfortable, strange combination of a tingling hope and helpless anxiety for both the future and quick passing of time.
Shifting to a more romantic style — in the common and literary use of the word — "Seeds" croons the gradual reunion of a couple and their individual, corporal return to the land where they will forever become one and be fruitful. Soft and sweet, this guitar-driven harmony between Kyle and Aviva has more power than most other tales or songs of romance I have encountered recently.
"The Annunciation" follows, sounding like a mountaintop hymn and invoking throughout it imagery of rebirth. Presumably the opening song of their live performance for it is grandiose in style, "The Annunciation" is an epic of one man's evening journey. Wholly inspiring, this powerful track will leave you wanting to (spiritually) re-explore this magical, despairing, hopeful world of ours.
By far my favorite song on the album, "Cedar Beach" is absolutely beautiful in a melancholic way. Without wanting to ruin the poetic ending of the song, Echo Bloom covers in a light, floating, orchestral sound, one man's self-discovery in an encounter with destiny.
With a folksy appeal and happier feel, like a song whispered across the wind and echoed in a copse, "Veins" begins as a banjo- and guitar-driven track, blooming into the band's fuller, orchestral sound. Seen through the eyes of one man, "Veins" is a tale of unselfish cohabitation on Earth, which Echo Bloom has accordingly created and echoed in a symphonic harmony.
"Blue," the following track, is a dreamy, sweetly saddening, undulating melody regarding the ever-present danger of slipping through life, our memories included. A deep, ranging, emotional track, this is one of those songs that has truly isolated and recreated a deep, forgotten emotion. Powerful enough to change your mood, listen to this track on those slow introspective days, when you are feeling nostalgic or contemplative.
"The Prostitute," a country-esque reflection of a love lost and the despairing days to follow, follows as the seventh clip in their live performance. Sounding like an echo which would easily haunt the hollowed character they created, this track begins as an acoustic-driven, harmony between Kyle and Aviva, leading gradually into an unexpected, but well-placed (in terms of arrangement) bluesy, electric guitar instrumental. After an acoustic heavy set of songs, this electric, old country styled song is refreshing and rejuvenating.
A testament to the necessity of faith, the following track swiftly moves between quick, folksy, Appalachian vibes to an auroral, symphonic style, to a subdued piano-driven melody. "The Flood" is another wonderful, biblical ballad- specifically about Noah and the building of the ark- on Blue Shift that you cannot help but love.
Aptly, "The Returning of the Doves," regarding the story about the dove which returns to Noah's ark with an olive leaf, concludes the album. Eerie — vocally and musically, what with the prominent inclusion of a cello, occasional insertion of an organ, and eventually the addition of a gritty electric guitar — heavier, and more gothic than all the preceding tracks, this track is a strong, provocative, cliff-hanging finish.
Blue Shift is an unforgettable folk album that will ultimately appeal to fans of Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and all those in between. Incredible every track of the way, Blue Shift has left me in eager anticipation of Evans' next genre-conceptual albums: Red, a country-rock album, and Green, a more classic pop album. As for now, Evans offers that Echo Bloom will never be wholly finished with any album, providing us fortunate listeners a glimpse into how music changes for its creators over time: "Art isn't ever really done, it just gets taken away from you at some point. At that moment it's frozen in time. Blue Shift is the breathing snapshot of what Blue is turning into." For more information about Echo Bloom and Blue Shift, you can read my interview with band-leader Kyle Evans below.
GO: What is the inspiration behind this album?
KE: Music's kind of a weird form of art, because unlike something like literature you have to be able to both write AND perform your work. The versions of albums we end up hearing and loving are usually these sculptures that are whittled out of hours of material and months of work. But then after that crafted recording is released you start playing those songs live and they quickly become something quite different. A live album is like a breathing snapshot of what a set of work looks like in real life. Think of it like the difference between the version of the more manicured version of themselves that people present on Facebook and the real person that lives and walks around. I constructed our album Blue over a year, and in some cases we know the songs a lot better now than when we originally recorded it. So Blue Shift is a way for us to share where that stuff is at now.
GO: When you were first creating Blue, what were you looking to create- what kind of feeling or sound? Did it start like how we hear it today, or has it evolved?
KE: I went to Germany to write the songs and arrangements for Blue, and I only took a few records to try to really limit my sphere of influence. My world became Pet Sounds (The Beach Boys), Ys (Joanna Newsom), and Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon and Garfunkel). A lot of the arrangements were coming from that core of work. I wanted to create a sonic space that was orchestral and lush, with big harmonies and textures, but everything deriving from basic folk songs. It was a sound I heard in my head, and I wanted to figure out how to get that into reality. So when I came back from Germany I had written a full score for the album – every string part, every vocal line. so while recording everything took a while it wasn't particularly complicated, and it ended up being pretty similar to what I was hearing. The live album is a completely different story.
GO: Did performing the songs from Blue for the live album Blue Shift change the feeling or energy of the songs for you?
KE: Wildly. The record Blue was really specific – everything was scored out. We used that score as a base, and added to it. There was a lot more improvisation and a LOT more percussion. Some songs became faster, some became slower. And recording and performing in front of a live audience undeniably adds energy to everything.
GO: Do you have a song that's particularly close to the heart from this album?
KE: The live version of Veins ended up being really exciting live. There's some time stretched audio that lays out at the end and in the recorded version that takes center stage. In the live version on Blue Shift I asked the string section to improvise over that, and it's pretty beautiful.
GO: I saw on your website that Echo Bloom is a play on the phrase "Echo Boom." What particularly led you to adopt this as your band name?
KE: We were a gardening family growing up and I've got fond memories of playing in the dirt as a kid, watching beans and squash and other vegetables grow. So in addition to the play on words, the name reminds me of that, which I like.
GO: Who and what has influenced your music?
KE: Lately I've been influenced more by painting than by other music. A friend gave me a yearly pass to MoMA, so I've been taking my lunch there usually once a week. I always end up in the Rothko and Water Lilies rooms, look up close to the paintings and then looking from further back. It makes me think of the different layers of songs – the root of things is the folk song, acoustic instrument and voice. That's the raw subject matter of the painting. Then the production and the arrangement are the style. Is it this gauzy haze or is it more stoic and straight? The actual realization is the beauty of the brushstrokes – something you can listen to up close, and equally appreciate from afar.
GO: Had music always been the plan?
KE: I thought I wanted to be an architect for a while. I was really inspired by the Modulor system of Le Corbusier, and some of the ideas in the Bauhaus school. But architecture isn't populist – music is the great folk art of our time, and that resonates more with where I am artistically.
GO: Have you seen your musical direction changing since forming?
KE: Every time I write a song I learn a different way of doing it, and the same applies with albums and recordings. I think I've become more comfortable with collaborating and doing things quickly. The idea of slowly crafting something for years isn't something I'll return to soon. I'm more attracted to the idea of setting up arrangement notes, creating a defined palette, cache of colors, and frame, and letting a group of really talented people help me color it in.
GO: If you were to describe Echo Bloom in a simple word choice, what would you say?
KE: Hmmm – simple word choice. Does that mean a binary choice? How about: Echo Bloom – sound or vision. Story and shape. You and me. Color and movement.
GO: Do you and your bandmates share or have other hobbies besides, obviously, making music?
KE: Tons. I'm a big camper, and really like backpacking (I'm an Eagle scout, so I spent a fair amount of my youth outside). Jason Mattis (our bass player) is a pretty serious mountain biker. Aviva Jaye (our keyboardist and alto vocalist) sees about every movie that comes out and spends a lot of time volunteering, because she's basically an incredible person. Josh Grove (our electric guitarist) is a guitar maker, so he makes his own instruments from scratch. Steve Sasso (our banjo player and a tenor vocalist) has pursued standup comedy in the past. Everybody plays with lots of people – we keep really busy.
GO: What's your favorite memory of your musical journey so far?
KE: Finishing the live performance of Blue Shift, and seeing the entire thing come together into this big beautiful thing, was this really climactic, wonderful experience. Most of the time things like that are over as soon as they happen, but because we videotaped the entire thing I've been reliving that for the last 8 months while I was editing everything.
GO: What are your hopes for Echo Bloom in the near future?
KE: We're going to Europe in the Fall, assuming our crowd-funding campaign gets there. We won a contest given out by this German record label, who's booked us on a 28 date tour of Germany, Holland, and Belgium. It's going to be a huge step for us as a band. Outside of that future, I've got a hazy plan to do a song-for-song covers project of the Anthology of American Folk Music, with each song being a collaboration with a new local musician. I'll get to that someday!
GO: Do you have any upcoming shows that we can look forward to?
GO: Do you have any additional thoughts you would like to add?
KE: Thanks for the thoughtful questions, and for the support! If anybody's interested in helping us get to Europe, we're running a crowd-funding campaign at www.pledgemusic.com/projects/echo-bloom-european-tour/ (and every little bit helps!). I'm also really passionate about the campaign to abolish the death penalty in the US, and would encourage people to look at the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty at http://www.ncadp.org/.

Nicolas Grigorievitch Sergueïev (en ) né à Saint-Pétersbourg le  et mort à Nice le  ou (selon l'Encyclopædia Britannica)  – ) est un danseur de ballet et metteur en scène de ballet russe, puis metteur en scène en chef du ballet du théâtre Mariinsky de 1914 à 1918.

Biographie

Il a étudié à l'école de théâtre de Pétersbourg. Parmi ses professeurs, on peut citer Vladimir Stepanov (Владимир Иванович Степанов, 1866 –  1896), le créateur du système de notation de la danse. Sergueïev a terminé l'école de théâtre de Pétersbourg en 1894 et a été immédiatement admis à la troupe de ballet du théâtre Mariinsky. En 1903, il en est devenu le metteur en scène, et en 1914 le metteur en scène en chef.

Il était passionné par la notation de la danse et a transcrit ainsi presque tout le répertoire du ballet du Mariinsky; comme les ballets de Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov etc.

En 1918, après la Révolution, il a émigré et a pris avec lui toutes les notes de ballets.

Il a travaillé dans divers théâtres d'Europe (Riga, Paris, Londres) et a retranscrit les ballets avec le système de notation du mouvement. Il a travaillé en Angleterre au Ballet International, à la fin de sa vie. Après sa mort, sa collection a appartenu à divers propriétaires, puis elle a été vendue en 1969 à l'Université Harvard.

Maintenant sa collection est dénommée en anglais la Nikolai Sergeev Dance Notations and Music Scores for Ballets et a été mise à la disposition de tous, les chorégraphes contemporains l'utilisent pour leurs spectacles.

News Edit post
Photo of woman sitting next to 'The Serpent' Charles Sobhraj goes viral
Charles Sobhraj, aka "The Serpent", became a free man last week.
Sobhraj was accused of killing nearly two dozen tourists in Asia in the 1970s. A recent photo of a woman sitting next to Sobhraj on a plane bound for France, where he will begin his new life, has gone viral.
Journalist Jairaj Singh shared the photo on twitter with the caption: "That awkward moment when you realize you're sitting next to a serial killer who claimed at least 30 lives." As of Wednesday night, the tweet has been viewed more than 660,000 times.

His French lawyer, Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, told the AP that Sobhraj will contest his conviction in Nepal, describing him as an "optimist" and resilient after nearly 20 years behind bars.
French filmmaker Jean-Charles Deniau, who escorted Sobhraj out of the Paris airport and is releasing a film and book about his life, said: "He's doing well. He has medicine. He will live in Paris and a little bit everywhere."
The French government did not respond to requests for comment on whether Sobhraj could face legal challenges in France. Sobhraj was born in Vietnam during French rule and claims French citizenship.
Killer nicknamed 'The Serpent' arrives in France from Nepal
Sobhraj is believed to have killed at least 20 people in Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong between 1972 and 1982. He befriended his victims, gave advice on where to have dinner and sometimes let them stay in the apartment in Bangkok that he shared with his girlfriend before he killed them.
But despite numerous legal cases brought against him, judicial authorities across the region have struggled to convict him of the murders – or to keep him behind bars.
He was arrested in New Delhi in 1976 and accused of murdering two tourists and stealing their jewelry. He was convicted of theft but acquitted of murder. In Thailand, he faced 14 murder charges. He avoided extradition by remaining before the courts in India until the Thai case expired in 1996. In Thailand, he faced the death penalty.
In 1986, he escaped from New Delhi's high-security Tihar Prison after luring the guards into sharing a drug-laced birthday cake, but was later recaptured.
In 1997, he was deported from India to France, where he lived freely, but was investigated for allegedly trying to poison a group of French tourists in India.
He resurfaced in 2003 at a casino in the Nepalese city of Kathmandu and was questioned about the unsolved murders of an American and a Canadian backpacker whose charred bodies were found on the outskirts of the city. He was convicted the following year and sentenced to life in prison – which, in Nepal, is just 20 years.
George Santos puts the Republican Party in a tight spot
Sobhraj insisted on his innocence in the case, even though he had spoken in the past of killing other tourists. When he was released from Indian prison, he said he regretted aspects of his past.
Announcing his release this week, Nepal's Supreme Court said Sobhraj has a heart condition. They also said he has already served more than 75% of his sentence and behaved well in prison, making him eligible for release.
He was released on Friday and ordered to leave Nepal within 15 days. A friend helped him finance a ticket to France, and the French Embassy prepared the travel documents that allowed him to leave, said lawyer Gopal Siwakoti Chitan.
Coutant-Peyre, his French lawyer, welcomed his release.
"I am very happy but very shocked that it took 19 years for him to get his normal freedom," Coutant-Peyre said at the airport. She also said that his murder conviction in Nepal was based on a "fabricated case" and said the French government had not done enough to help or defend him.
Coutant-Peyre also said that Sobhraj watched the series "The Serpent", which shows how Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg launched an international investigation into the alleged murders of Sobhraj. He called it "trash", she said, and told her that "70% is totally fake".
Sobhraj's nickname "snake" stems from his reputation as a disguise and escape artist. He was also known as "the bikini killer" because he often targeted young women.

Falcons, Vick Will Flounder at the Stick
By Brett Pahler
Say what you will about the rest of the season, but the 49ers will defeat the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday. For all their new uniforms, coaching changes, and public relations endeavors, these are the same Falcons we've beaten twice a year for the majority of the last 23 years. It doesn't matter what they're peddling, be it Prime Time, Jerry Glanville, the Georgia Dome, the run and shoot, Dan Reeves' return to Georgia, or Michael Vick, if you want to see football in Georgia, go to a Bulldogs game.
The latest gimmick is the new coach: Jim Mora, Jr. If the Falcons were looking for someone with experience coaching terrible defenses, they certainly hired the right person. Mora has extensive history coordinating miserable, out-of-sync, underachieving units, and should fit right in. He's a great guy, but certainly not without a dose of his father's irrationality. Whether he can inspire any confidence in the perpetually eroding fan base remains to be seen.
ESPN ranks the Falcons 7th out of the 32 NFL teams. This strikes me as high for the team that ranked 29th on offense, 32nd on defense, and will be without its rookie phenom DeAngelo Hall come Sunday. Nevertheless, I commend Atlanta's optimism, and think they should change their motto to, "Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss you'll be among the bottom third of the league."
But Vick is finally healthy. He's redefining the quarterback position in a way only Madden video game jackets can. The Falcons won three out of four games against good competition when he returned at the end of last season. Will he end Atlanta's legacy of futility? Let's not get carried away. Vick completed a league-worst 50% of his passes upon returning and carried a quarterback rating of 69.0. Only five starting quarterbacks in the NFL had lower ratings. He did average 6.4 yards per carry on his scrambles, but even Jeff Garcia averaged 5.7. During the preseason he has run the offense about as effectively as Brandon Doman.
In the right system, Vick might excel, and I certainly have my doubts that Dan Reeves' offense, designed to move with the force of a battering ram and the speed of a tortoise, took advantage of his strengths. A system that allows him to throw the ball deep and make plays outside the pocket would benefit him. Greg Knapp's west coast offense, which relies upon short, accurate passes, does not.
Far and away from 7th, ESPN has the 49ers ranked 31st. According to the experts, we're in for a shellacking. If we were playing in Georgia, maybe we would lose. But we're playing at home. The same home where we outscored opponents 236 to 106 last year. The same home where we gave up a stingy 57 yards per game on the ground.
With that said, the game should not be a blowout, and has some intriguing plot lines. For the second year in a row, the 49ers will have to confront an angry coordinator. Last year it was Greg Blache, the Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator and potential Mariucci replacement who Jeff Garcia inadvertently insulted by stating that he didn't know who he was.
This year we have the return of Jim Mora, Jr. and Greg Knapp to Candlestick. Both of them have axes to grind. Both of them have had the entire off-season at their disposal to conspire against us. Both of them know our offense and defense better than our own coordinators. Both of them would love to out-coach Erickson. Fortunately, both of them coach units that lie somewhere in between the French Army and the Polish inventions in terms of effectiveness.
A good parallel might be our opening game three years ago. At Candlestick, Atlanta jumped out to a 13-3 lead. Midway through the third quarter, the 49ers had produced so many three-and-outs that the crowd began to boo. The 49ers finally got it together in the fourth quarter and produced a 16-13 overtime victory.
In this game, Rattay will struggle early. But he will eventually settle down, make his reads, and find the holes in the porous Atlanta secondary. As the last seconds tick off the game clock, it will be obvious to all observers that these are indeed the same old Falcons. Vick is not enough to salvage the franchise from its ill-conceived existence.

Research Saturday
Ep 36 | 5.19.18
Threat actors hijack Lojack.
Dave Bittner: [00:00:03] Hello everyone, and welcome to the CyberWire's Research Saturday, presented by the Hewlett Foundation's Cyber Initiative. I'm Dave Bittner, and this is our weekly conversation with researchers and analysts tracking down threats and vulnerabilities, and solving some of the hard problems of protecting ourselves in a rapidly evolving cyberspace. Thanks for joining us.
Dave Bittner: [00:00:26] And now, a moment to tell you about our sponsor, the Hewlett Foundation's Cyber Initiative. While government and industry focus on the latest cyber threats we still need more institutions and individuals who take a longer view. They're the people who are helping to create the norms and policies that will keep us all safe in cyberspace. The Cyber Initiative supports a cyber policy field that offers thoughtful solutions to complex challenges, for the benefit of societies around the world. Learn more at hewlett.org/cyber.
Dave Bittner: [00:01:02] And thanks also to our sponsor, Enveil, whose revolutionary ZeroReveal solution closes the last gap in data security: protecting data in use. It's the industry's first and only scalable commercial solution enabling data to remain encrypted throughout the entire processing lifecycle. Imagine being able to analyze, search, and perform calculations on sensitive data, all without ever decrypting anything. All without the risks of theft or inadvertent exposure. What was once only theoretical is now possible with Enveil. Learn more at enveil.com.
Richard Hummel: [00:01:42] Our researchers have a lot of interpersonal relationship with various researchers across the field.
Dave Bittner: [00:01:46] That's Richard Hummel. He's manager of the ASERT Threat Intelligence team at Arbor Networks, the security division of NETSCOUT. The research we're discussing today is titled "LoJack Becomes a Double-Agent."
Richard Hummel: [00:01:59] This particular one came as a tip to one of those researchers. Initially, when we received it, it was, hey, here's a malicious binary, there's something, you know, off about it. We didn't really have a whole lot to go on. So that's kind of what kicked off our research into this particular finding.
Dave Bittner: [00:02:13] Describe to me what's going on with Lojack. I remember, years ago, I think Lojack started out as a brand that would protect your cars from being stolen, and then somewhere over the years that brand pivoted and became known for protecting computers.
Richard Hummel: [00:02:28] Kind of what led us to the whole Lojack research, if you will, back in 2014, was a Black Hat presentation that some researchers did on what was then known as Computrace. Since then, it's been purchased and it's been rebranded to be Lojack, which essentially installs an agent on your system, at the firmware level, that allows you to track your laptop should it ever be stolen. So that's kind of where the software is that we're dealing with.
Richard Hummel: [00:02:53] The actual software itself, to our knowledge, has not been modified as far as functionality. The code remains the same. If you compare a legitimate Lojack sample with one of the ones using a hijacked C2, they're identical. A hundred percent function matching across the board. So the problem isn't stemming from Absolute, or Lojack software itself. Essentially, the attackers are taking that copy of the software, and simply replacing the C2 in it with one of their own.
Dave Bittner: [00:03:22] I see. Well, take us through how Lojack works. How does it maintain its persistence on a machine?
Richard Hummel: [00:03:28] Sure. So, there's an agent. The researchers back in 2014 dubbed this "small agent." But basically what it does is the agent itself embeds itself in a BIOS or UEFI firmware. And from there, whenever the system is rebooted, it embeds code into something called "autochck.exe," and that basically is what's going to maintain it's persistence on the machine itself. So, any time you were to swap a drive out, if you rebooted the system, or even if you reformat it, it's going to persist, because it's actually at the firmware level, rather than a software level.
Richard Hummel: [00:04:02] So, it's a unique method of maintaining persistence, and it's great for Lojack itself, right? Because if somebody grabs your computer and steals it, and they swap out a drive so they can actually use it, you're still able to then locate your laptop. So it's a really cool persistence mechanism, and it's really unfortunate that attackers abused that, and kind of leveraged that for their own purposes.
Dave Bittner: [00:04:24] And so, the legitimate functionality of the Lojack install, what sorts of things does it allow you to do?
Richard Hummel: [00:04:32] So, that's one of the things that makes it appealing to an attacker, right, is Lojack itself allows you to execute arbitrary code. It comes with it natively, and because it's running at the firmware level it also has system permissions. So, essentially, it provides a backdoor into an infected machine, one running a Lojack sample that has this malicious C2, and an attacker can use that access to essentially do what they want. If they have additional malware or payloads that they want to distribute, that's as trivial as sending that command via their C2 back to the agent installed. And then they can then install additional malware, or whatever that may be.
Dave Bittner: [00:05:08] Describe to us, what exactly have the bad guys modified here to have it look at their own command-and-control servers?
Richard Hummel: [00:05:15] There is a configuration within Lojack itself that has the C2 pointing to legitimate Lojack command-and-control servers. All right, this is pretty typical. If you need to find your laptop, you have to have a way to communicate with it, right? So it has to have some sort of callback to Lojack itself so that they can then locate your machine. The attackers have basically swapped out that C2 check-in with one of their own. And it's fairly trivial. It's only encrypted with a single-byte XOR key that is actually hardcoded into the binary itself. And the attackers, when they replace the C2, they also will pad any extra bytes with the XOR key. So, it's relatively simple for us to go in and strip out the C2, but that's literally the only change that they've made, to our knowledge, of the software itself.
Dave Bittner: [00:06:02] So, to the person who has this running, it looks like a perfectly normally-functioning copy of Lojack, doing all the things it's supposed to be doing.
Richard Hummel: [00:06:10] Correct. And from what we've seen, we have one live C2, that was live as of yesterday, when it checks into that malicious C2, it actually responds as if it is a Lojack server. So, the communication protocol looks very similar.
Dave Bittner: [00:06:25] In terms of attribution, who do we think is up to this?
Richard Hummel: [00:06:30] I think we have a moderate confidence on it right now, because all of the attribution that we have stems from infrastructure. There's no code to go on. There's no, like, tick marks or anything like that, where we can say definitively that this has been seen in other malware samples from X group, right? So, what we're looking at is the actual C2s themselves, and some research over the past several months and past year point some of those C2s to Fancy Bear, or APT28. I think they're also known as Pawn Storm. Several of those C2s were actually seen in some phishing campaigns that Jigsaw Security had reported on in the past. So that leads us to believe that the operation might be related to APT28, or Fancy Bear.
Dave Bittner: [00:07:13] The way that they're going at this makes it pretty effective at avoiding antivirus detection.
Richard Hummel: [00:07:18] Correct, yeah. When we first started looking at this, a lot of the different AV scanners had maybe two of fifty-plus identifications for it. And, of those, they listed it as a risk tool or something that, hey, this could potentially cause harm to your system, but it wasn't listed as outright malicious or malware itself. Which is pretty common, right? I mean, you're installing software that's planting something in your firmware. So, sure, it should be risky, but it didn't label it as malware. And that's because, to the antivirus scanner, it looked legitimate, right? It looked just like a Lojack sample.
Richard Hummel: [00:07:52] And the C2s themselves can be swapped out in any given sample. So, it's kind of hard to stay ahead of that game and say, oh, let's go ahead and blacklist all these C2s, because we don't know them until we've analyzed the sample. So, yeah, it's very effective at evading antivirus, because they're basically using legitimate software that just checks in somewhere else.
Dave Bittner: [00:08:11] Now, do you have any sense for how people are getting this altered version of Lojack on their machines?
Richard Hummel: [00:08:18] We don't. We've speculated, we have some theories, but we were just looking at APT28 itself. What are their TTPs and tactics? And, in the past, they've used a lot of phishing to distribute their payloads, so we looked at some of the more recent stuff that Jigsaw Security reported on. They have several documents there with macro droppers, and we ran some of those and we looked to see, do any of those drop Lojack? And we haven't been able to confirm that.
Richard Hummel: [00:08:44] So, right now, we don't know how they're getting on systems, or even if they are. It could be that we found these samples, or we were tipped off to these samples, and the attackers are in testing mode. So, we don't have any confirmation of these actually impacting users in the wild. And we have been working with Absolute, and so they're very aware of this. And so, as things develop, we'll continue to work with them, and share our findings back and forth.
Dave Bittner: [00:09:07] So, in terms of folks protecting themselves against this, what are your recommendations?
Richard Hummel: [00:09:12] So, obviously, the IOCs that we list here in the report are very good. Make sure that your systems are blocking those domains. If you have the hashes that we've shared, clearly those are going to be representative of these malicious samples. Now, it's not going to identify all of them for sure. It's just going to identify the five that we have listed in the blog. But honestly, to our knowledge right now, that's the best way that you can block this, is by making sure those domains are blacklisted and that your systems cannot communicate with those.
Richard Hummel: [00:09:39] We do push all of this stuff to our systems, so we are detecting if and when we see any of this Lojack activity, we can get alerted on those. And then it can enable our research to go further and look at those, and strip out those C2s, and then again feed those back into our process. But that seems to be the best way, at this point, to block the activity.
Dave Bittner: [00:09:58] What's your take on how this contributes to, I suppose, a certain level of uncertainty? You know, it's a, I suppose, a "who watches the watchmen" kind of thing. You know, we install these systems on our computers to help protect us, but along with that comes a certain level of trust that the information they're going to be sending back to their own servers is going to be well protected, encrypted, and so on.
Richard Hummel: [00:10:22] Absolutely. And as far as we know, there's there's nothing wrong with that process itself. From what we can tell, and obviously we're not sitting at the host environment, so we don't know if an attacker is getting in directly and tampering with Lojack samples that are already installed on systems. We don't know that. All we've been able to glean is these samples in the wild that have been tampered with. So, that communication protocol between a host with installed Lojack and actual Lojack servers, as far as we know, that's not been compromised. And I guess I'm probably not the best person to speak to that, that would be something that Absolute and their security engineers would be best postured to do that.
Richard Hummel: [00:11:01] But as far as we can tell, the problem stems from an attacker getting a hold of a sample and cracking it, if you will. Similar to what a lot of these different gamers do, they grab a copy of a game, they crack it, and they fix it so that the key can run without validation or purchase. That's kind of what we see here right? They're taking a legitimate sample, they're reverse engineering it to the point where they can swap out that C2, and then redeploying that. It really doesn't have anything to do with Absolute and Lojack vendor itself. It's more along the lines of the attacker taking advantage of something that's already in existence.
Dave Bittner: [00:11:36] So, I suppose it's fair to say that we can expect some updates coming from the Lojack folks themselves to probably take care of this?
Richard Hummel: [00:11:45] I do know that the last response that we had from them, that they were looking at internally investigating. As far as I know, their posture is that none of their clients have been impacted. So, again, I can't speak to their internal processes. That'd be something we'd want to reach out to them for comment. But yes, any time we find any updates, or if we find additional samples, or additional C2s, we're keeping an open dialogue. We want to make sure that we're transparent with them, and that we're sharing any of our findings that's going to help them and any of their clients.
Dave Bittner: [00:12:13] I'm wondering, just from a larger point of view, you know, we started out today talking about how this came to you all from a tip. I wonder if you could describe to me the sense of community there is among the researchers, those of you who are looking into these sorts of things. How many of these conversations happened in backchannels, in Slack groups, or things like that, you all do keep in touch with each other, yes?
Richard Hummel: [00:12:38] Yes. Just from my perspective, and being around in the field now for the past ten years, there's a lot of people in the field, but it's a very small community, if that makes any sense.
Dave Bittner: [00:12:47] Yeah.
Richard Hummel: [00:12:48] So yes, a lot of us sit in trusted groups. We sit in chat rooms, we have mailing lists, there's a number of ways that we keep in touch. But we do. We share a lot of information back and forth, and often we share those free of charge, because we want to help the entire community. Obviously, there's some things that you have to have close-hold, right? You have to run a business, for instance. But, when we can, we try to share as often as we can.
Richard Hummel: [00:13:14] And with the NETSCOUT Arbor side of the house, we don't monetize our intel like this, right? So, when we can, we try to blog them out publicly, and then get those in front of as many people as we can, to help protect them from the particular threats. And any time we come across threats like this, we're automatically feeding all of those into our system, so that clients, you know, running any of our appliances are going to be protected. That's, like, our first line of business. And then from there we look at, how can we show this back into the community, how can we bring awareness to this and help other people be protected as well?
Dave Bittner: [00:13:45] In your experience, what would your advice be, I'm thinking about the person who's coming up through school or maybe considering a career change, and they think that this sort of research may be something that they're interested in. What are the attributes that you see the successful people who are doing this kind of work have?
Richard Hummel: [00:14:01] Honestly, for me, it boils down to passion and self-starting. I didn't receive any formal training when I got into this; it was more of self-driven thing. Now, granted, I was in the Army for a while, so I did some intel. But when it comes to reverse engineering, when it comes to the security aspect, and looking at threats from a reverse engineering or technical standpoint, for me, that was self-taught, self-driven. And I just had a passion about the field. I thought it was super interesting finding out what the attackers do, how the attacker thinks, what they're going to do with a particular binary, and trying to figure that out, to me was self-satisfaction.
Richard Hummel: [00:14:35] And I know a lot of other people in the field, a lot of the successful people have that same passion. A drive to figure out what's going on, and then feed that back into the community to make sure people are protected. So, I think that's a key aspect that I look for in other security researchers, not only from my team, but those that I work with as well.
Dave Bittner: [00:14:54] And from a hiring point of view, what sort of work would you like to see? I'm thinking, you know, is this a situation where, if someone has done that work on their own, if they're a self-starter, they might not necessarily need all of the certifications and the traditional education, from your point of view?
Richard Hummel: [00:15:10] Sure, and honestly, certifications may play a role in a particular position, but it's not the end-all, be-all, right? A lot of times with, when I'm looking at a particular resume or somebody for hire, I don't necessarily hold certificates in high regard. Instead, I look at who they are as a person, what they've done for the community, do they have their own personal blog? What are they giving back? Are they in any of the trust groups? Do they contribute?
Richard Hummel: [00:15:36] But then, also, I want to evaluate their technical skills, right? So, if they've done this on their own and they have some blogs, that, to me, lends credence to the fact that, yes, they know how to do this, they know how to do it well and effectively. There's also some internal things you could do to test that out, such as giving a particular sample of malware and saying, hey, reverse this, send me back a report, and then evaluate how they did.
Richard Hummel: [00:15:58] So there's a lot of things you can do there. But I like, from my standpoint, is to evaluate what they've done for the community, and what they've given back.

Venere peccatrice (The Strange Woman) è un film del 1946 diretto da Edgar G. Ulmer e basato sul romanzo La Venere peccatrice scritto nel 1941 da Ben Ames Williams.

Trama
Jenny Hager è una bella ragazza senza cuore capace di manipolare chiunque. Nonostante abbia un legame con un pescatore sta facendo di tutto per sposare Isaiah Poster l'uomo più ricco della città il cui figlio Ephraim Poster era un suo compagno di giochi d'infanzia e con il quale inizia ugualmente una relazione.
Da bambini Jenny aveva convinto Ephraim a buttarsi in acqua nonostante lui non sapesse nuotare e adesso gli chiede di tornare solo dopo aver accompagnato il padre a visitare i suoi possedimenti.
Durante una traversata in barca il padre annega senza che il figlio sia in grado di aiutarlo, a causa della sua paura dell'acqua e quando torna a casa Jenny lo liquida accusandolo di codardia per aver lasciato morire il padre.

Ora Jenny concentra le sue attenzioni su John Evered, futuro sposo di Meg, figlia del giudice e sua migliore amica. L'uomo cade molto facilmente nella trappola ma ben presto alcuni avvenimenti lo fanno ricredere: la donna non vuole diventare madre e durante una lite gli confessa che le accuse mossegli da Ephraim sono vere. L'uomo si allontana da casa ma viene raggiunto da Meg che cerca di confortarlo, in lontananza Jenny li scopre e si lancia al galoppo addosso con il suo calesse ma è proprio lei a restare vittima di un incidente mortale.

Distribuzione
Distribuito dalla United Artists, il film uscì nelle sale cinematografiche USA il 25 ottobre 1946. In seguito ne venne fatta una riedizione che fu distribuito sul mercato americano il 5 gennaio 1952.

Maria Cosway
The Conservationists Council
The important relationships
Richard Cosway
In all the great things we undertake
are the small ones that bother us
(Maria Cosway)
Maria Luisa Caterina Cecilia Hadfield or Madame Cosway, this is how she preferred to be called, was born in Florence on the 11th of June 1760 (this date is not documented but it's likely to be exact). Her father Charles Hadfield was a rich merchant from Manchester, that moved to Tuscany to run several hotels that mainly accomodated English tourists.
This fair little English girl, with big bright blue eyes, has sailed pleasantly and skilfully, through the stormy world of her time, which was agitated by great and upsetting reversals: and she managed to achieve it like an experienced traveller – as it occurs for English people - leaving Florence, her native town, for England, her real homeland; from "enlightened" and revolutionary France – first Jacobean and then Napoleonic – to Austria under the Restauration, till the arrival, when middle-aged, in Lodi, the smallest one among the towns, she fully demonstrates her talents as educator, already tested in Lyon, where she opened a lay college for young women and that will become after – while the Founder was still alive – the Religious Institute for English Ladies (From the introduction of Age Bassi to the volume of E. Cazzulani e A. Stroppa, Mary Hadfield Cosway. Biografia, diari e scritti della fondatrice del Collegio delle Dame Inglesi in Lodi, L'Immagine, Lodi, 1989).
Maria Cosway has been one of the most fascinating feminine personalities who lived between the XVIII and XIX century, she has been defined as an affable beauty and fully talented. Maria was a writer, a painter, a singer, a musician (she played the harp and the organ) and a composer, and finally also an educator of civil donzelle. She was a delicate woman, very attractive and her beauty caused misunderstandings in some important relationships.
She had a complex and cultured personality, with many intuitions that were sustained by ambitious initiatives together with passions and ideals, satisfactions and worries, but also hardships; therefore a full-relief figure, that can't be restricted to few details picked up from some anecdote... ... Hers, had been an intense life, as it was always developing between plans and destiny and in advance with her time. She had been a Member, since 1778, of the glorious Art Academy in Florence; founder of an education house for young women, first in Lyon and then in Lodi; ... ... Baroness in 1834, ... in contact and in relationship with the protagonists of History, with a capital letter.
The aims of Maria to become independent as a painter, had been denied by her husband, Richard Cosway, who limited her potentials in preventing her also from selling her paintings. From 1781 to 1789 she exhibits thirty-one paintings1 at the Royal Academy, a site where the exhibitions of the best artists were shown. (Maria e Richard Cosway, edited by Tino Gipponi, Umberto Allemandi & C., Torino 1998)
Maria, since she was young, showed herself to be a talented musician playing the harp, the organ and the harpsichord. After her wedding (1781), Maria wasn't allowed to continue professional music for it was considered unsuited to a high social class woman. In spite of this, she managed to acquire wide consents with several publications that were known as "to Lady" or "to Madame". A composition by Maria, Songs and Duets, had been sent to Jefferson just after his return to US from Paris. We can find copies of this composition at the Performing Arts Library of New York, the National Library in Paris and Monticello in Virginia.
Maria's musical work remains, for the most, a mystery. On the other hand, it is well-known that Cosway used to play and sing her own compositions during her "Grand Concerts", that she used to give at her home in London.
Maria Cosway has been a woman truely committed also on the side of female education. After her husband's death, she lived her middle-age in Lodi.
Here she had the chance to found again an educational female institute, that had been set up in Lyon during the Napoleonic years, giving life to the Beata Vergine delle Grazie College. The College became famous as the Real Collegio delle Fanciulle of Milan; these were the only two institutes mentioned by the Irish traveller Sidney Owenson Morgan (Lady Morgan) and by the general inspector of primary education, the Canon Giovanni Palamede Carpani, who wrote (1823) that the College was an establishment that honoured the country, and also already acknowledged by the Royal Imperial Government.
The girls were divided into three classes, according to their age and their level of instruction; they were taught Italian, calligraphy, mathematics, history, geography as well as the rules in accordance with social behaviour and social life. There was also religious and moral education. French language, drawing, music and dance classes were considered optional teachings .
Cosway herself, while introducing the College aims, declared that her purpose was to form good family mothers able to bring up children and create a good impression in society.
On the 14th of November to Maria is granted, by the Emperor Francesco I , the title and the rank of Baroness, in recognition of the credits acquired during her activity as an educator.
Maria Cosway on the 5th of January 1838, at sunset, dies in Lodi and she rests in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Lodi. Her remains had been preserved for a short time in the graveyard of San Fereolo in Lodi and on the 6th of November of the same year transferred, as she had wished, into the church of delle Grazie.
Previously Maria had expressed the desire to be buried in her villa in Blevio on the lake of Como.

I've baked cupcakes, cooked a whole turkey and cooked various other meals in our RV Convection Microwave but what about a 3 layer cake?
I'm no professional cake maker that is for sure, but I saw a three layered multi-colored cake being made in a professional kitchen and thought… I can totally make that in my RV! AND an even better reason I'm going to make it for my mom for Mother's Day!
It was a great hit and my mom loved it! Check out my video above to see how I did it!
Kala I loved my Mothers Day cake!
Not only did it look wonderful!! It tasted great!!


Massage therapy has been used for centuries in both Western and Eastern cultures. Massage therapy uses basic mechanical hand movements to help relieve pain, reduce stress and promote healing by improving circulation, deepening relaxation and providing an increased sense of physical awareness and emotional well being. It is effective in controlling chronic or acute pain, reducing stress and creating a sense of relaxation and well being. Therapeutic massage is used to help obtain relief from many specific problems, including low back pain, migraine and muscle tension headaches, whiplash, and neck and shoulder tension to name a few.

After reading about the new Apple Music Memo app on Gizmodo today I had to make sure that we supported upload from it.
Here is a quick tutorial on uploading to your chirbit account from this awesome new app.
Make sure you have set up your chirbit account for emailing in audio. In your account settings page add your 4 number pin and the email you will be sending your audio from (sometimes your phone's email sending address is different from the account you used to sign up with on chirbit. In the image below the fields are called "Voicememo Email" and "Voicememo Pin". Once you have this set up it's super simple to upload your content to your chirbit account from inside the Music Memo app.
Once you are ready to post something, click the share icon on the voice memo app, for your recording.
You will be greeted with a choice of options for sharing. Click the Mail icon.
You can add Artist, Composer and Album if you want to. We are not currently reading this metadata, but may in the near future.
The app will export the song and prepare it to email.
The email to send it to is chirbit-post@chirbit.com. The subject of the email will become the title of your chirbit post. In the body of the email add your 4 number pin and make sure the Cc/Bcc,From: email address is the one you entered in your account settings under "Voicememo Email". Then just send the email and your Music Memo should be posted to chirbit.
I am excited to see this feature being used and if you have any questions, comments, feedback or suggestions on how I can make chirbit even better, let me know.


A classic Gandini design in being both delicate and yet strong of form, and, as many other early seventies designs, one that firmly looked forwards with dart-like profile and sheer surfaces between crisp edges.
The Khamsin was seductively long and low, very fast rear decked, and with marked tumblehome and body-side tuck-in. These proportions gave it a unique design identity blend of GT-substance, super-car speed, and sports-car agility. It made competing 2+2 GTs like the Aston Martin V8, Jaguar XJS, Ferrari 365GT4/400, and Lamborghini Espada look like bludgeons.
The Khamsin: the last design from when the brand was still proper royalty, the last modernist Maserati — and an achingly fine thing to behold.


Zurich and Geneva are also in the top three cities for wages and purchasing power. Kiev, Nairobi and Jakarta are the bottom three.
Workers in Hong Kong work four hours more a day than those in Paris.
Earners pay the highest income tax in Copenhagen – 45% on average.
Food costs 4.5 times more in Zurich than in Kiev. Haircuts are priciest in Oslo.
Zurich, 17 September 2015 – Today UBS is releasing the 16th edition of its UBS Prices and Earnings study, which examines prices, wages and earners' purchasing power in 71 cities worldwide. The study, published roughly every three years since 1971, compiles over 68,000 data points reflecting economic events that have shaped the world since the last edition in 2012.
Zurich, Geneva and New York City are the most expensive cities in the world, according to the prices for a standardized basket of 122 goods and services. When rents are added to the mix, Hong Kong moves up 13 spots in the rankings. By contrast, the cost of living is lowest in certain Eastern European cities such as Kiev, which is the cheapest city.
Workers in Zurich, Geneva and Luxembourg earn the highest gross wages. After taxes and social security contributions, Copenhagen loses 20 spots in the rankings, due to income deductions of around 45%. In Nairobi, Jakarta and Kiev, the lowest-ranked cities, workers receive only around 5% of average gross earnings in Zurich.
How many hours' earnings buy a Big Mac® or an iPhone?
Wage value is best described by comparing domestic purchasing power for goods that are as homogenous as possible worldwide. Salaries go farthest in Luxembourg, Zurich and Geneva, where the net hourly wage buys the most goods and services from the standardized basket. Nairobi and Jakarta have the lowest purchasing power, affording just one-tenth as much as workers in Luxembourg. A Big Mac® costs almost three hours of average earnings in Nairobi, compared with just nine minutes in Hong Kong. Workers in Zurich can buy an iPhone 6 after 21 hours of work; in Kiev, it takes 30 times longer.
People work over 2,000 hours per year in 19 major cities, most of them in Asia and the Middle East. The shortest working hours and highest number of days of paid vacation are enjoyed by workers in Western Europe. Workers in Hong Kong work 1,000 more hours than those in Paris, a difference of around four hours more per working day.
The basket of 39 food items costs over four times more in Seoul than in Kiev, where the food basket costs the least. In terms of food prices, Seoul is second only to Zurich. Services tend to be correlated to local wages, with the cost of the basket covering services such as haircuts, dry cleaning and internet fees. Haircuts cost the most in Oslo and are 19 times pricier on average than in Jakarta.
The Swiss National Bank abandoned its price floor for the euro versus the Swiss franc in January, which had a big impact on the indicators. Zurich and Geneva rose to the top of the rankings. Eurozone cities plunged. Russian and Ukrainian cities plummeted due to the Ukrainian conflict and ensuing Russian sanctions, with Kiev now at the bottom of the price and wage charts. Instability in South America greatly affected exchange rates, altering the positions of cities such as São Paulo and Buenos Aires. In Asia, the Japanese yen lost value, but the South Korean won has appreciated versus the US dollar since 2012, meaning Tokyo now ranks lower and Seoul higher. Asia remains the continent with the largest variations in prices and wages among cities, while North America is still the most uniform.
The 2015 edition of the Prices and Earnings study is available on a new microsite, www.ubs.com/pricesandearnings, which for the first time also offers free access to all raw data collected from the first report in 1971 up to 2015. Prices and Earnings is also available as an iOS application, and in a digital UBS Newsstand version.

Q: "Operation is not valid" when trying to create a List I want to clone a list in Sharepoint. This is the code:
private static void CloneList(SPList sourceList, string targetListName)
{
    SPWeb web = sourceList.ParentWeb;
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

    Guid targetListId;
    targetListId = web.Lists.Add(targetListName, sourceList.Description, sourceList.BaseTemplate);
   // irrelevant stuff
}

On the last code line (Lists.Add()) I get the error
operation is not valid due to the current state of the object sharepoint 2010

any idea what to do to solve that issue? (running the code with elevatedPrivilegues does not solve the issue)

A: Try this...
targetListId = web.Lists.Add(targetListName, sourceList.Description, SPListTemplateType.CustomGrid)

Vice President Joe Biden, April 7, 2015. Photo courtesy of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Most of the commentary that's surrounded Joe Biden's touchy-feely approach to interpersonal relations misses what it tells us about the nature of presidential politics today. Biden is under attack by what we might call the New Bosses of politics, and it looks like they're going to chew him up and spit him out. The likely result: exeunt Joe Biden from the presidential race before it even begins.
Pollsters, commentators, and money guys have assumed the role that the old machine pols once played—winnowing down the field before the voters have a chance to cast a single ballot. The irony here is hard to miss, yet it gets almost no attention as the newfangled process proceeds.
This entire pre-campaign campaign has only become more treacherous with the rise of political correctness and the #MeToo movement. That's because small rivulets of angry political sentiment can be amplified by the cable guys into something far more politically significant than they really are.
The New Bosses of our political system are in the process of passing judgment on Uncle Joe in lieu of the voters. They're the vetters now, and they do their work without sentimentality or even a discernible degree of compassion. The smoke-filled room has been supplanted by the green room, and the result isn't more democracy, just an uglier version of the old kind.
