Holly Thomas Holly ThomasSpears’ own story is a howl of rage that appears more justified with every chapter. The ridicule that met Spears’ 2007 “meltdown” has since been reevaluated.

“This is yet another shift away from the image of unsophisticated barbaric Vikings swinging their swords around,” said Mads Dengsø Jessen, a senior researcher with the National Museum in Copenhagen.

Dengsø Jessen said there may have been glass windows in the Vikings' vast hall buildings.

☆ Why Miró’s Yellows Have Lost Their Brilliance
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-18 | by ( Katherine Kornei | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

From Van Gogh’s sunflowers to Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” there’s no shortage of seminal artwork that was made with a striking hue known as cadmium yellow. But that riot of color that artists squeezed from their paint tubes isn’t necessarily what museum goers see today: cadmium yellow’s brilliance often diminishes over time, as the paint fades and turns chalky. A team of art conservators and scientists recently analyzed bits of degraded cadmium yellow paint taken from pieces painted by the Spanish artist Joan Miró in the 1970s. Cadmium yellow paint is an amalgam primarily of cadmium and sulfur. Miró described the color as “splendid.” Tubes of cadmium yellow paint, including Cadmium Yellow Lemon No.1 produced by the Parisian manufacturer Lucien Lefebvre-Foinet, litter Miró’s two studios in Mallorca, Spain.

They are buoyed by experts who say the arsenic risk is overblown, the mounts nothing short of art. The Endangered Species Act protects animals even in death, so the collection can’t be sold. But by the time he died in 1978, international laws and the Endangered Species Act were cracking down. In August, the results came back: 79% of specimens tested positive for detectable levels of arsenic, the city said.

☆ US mortgage giants were placed on credit watch. Here’s what that means for home buyers

Washington, DC CNN —The credit ratings of US mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were put on watch for possible downgrade by Fitch Ratings late Thursday. The warning came because the ratings for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are linked to the sovereign rating of the United States. The aim of Freddie and Fannie is to provide liquidity into the mortgage market and enable a reliable flow of affordable funds to mortgage lenders. “The housing GSEs continue to benefit from meaningful financial support from the U.S. government,” the Fitch statement said. “While politics are at play, the ratings watch is a just that — a watch,” she said.

☆ Danish painters in the 19th century used beer brewing leftovers to prepare their canvases, scientists found
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-25 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

The masters used the byproduct of beer brewing to prep their canvases so paint wouldn't seep through, new research found. That suggests painters were turning to byproducts from local breweries to prepare canvases, they reported Wednesday in the journal Science Advances. "Then, by surprise, we found something completely different," said Andersen, a paintings conservator at the Royal Danish Academy. Instead, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, which prepared canvases for its artists, likely bought leftover mash from local breweries. This kind of recycling wasn't uncommon, Andersen added: Artists also used bits of sails for their canvases and boiled leather scraps for their glue.

CNN —Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have uncovered a small dog hidden beneath the surface of a Pablo Picasso painting. The image of a charming lapdog wearing a red bow was revealed by museum experts during a technical analysis of the Spanish artist’s painting “Le Moulin de la Galette” ahead of an exhibition of his early works. “Le Moulin de la Galette” depicts a lively scene at the titular venue — a famous Parisian dance hall that was painted by other artists including Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Modifying paintings later became part of Picasso’s regular practice, Barten said, adding that “Le Moulin de la Galette” is now considered one of the earliest examples of this. “Le Moulin de la Galette” is the “centerpiece” of the Guggenheim’s show, said Barten, whose team of conservators also restored the artwork’s surface by removing decades of dirt and non-original varnish.

Guvernul conservator al țării a pariat pe vaccinul produs de AstraZeneca/Oxford și pe dezvoltarea unui vaccin autohton, care a eșuat, însă, în timpul studiilor. Australia a înregistrat 30.000 de cazuri de infectare cu SARs-CoV-2 de când a început pandemia. Săptămâna trecută, prim-ministrul Morrison a dezvăluit un plan în patru etape pentru a redeschide granițele Australiei și a pune capăt restricțiilor.

În videoclip, fiul femeii spune că Iisus este bisexual „pentru că iubește toți oamenii din lume” și non-binar „pentru că poartă o rochie”. Observatorii ruși sunt de părere că această critică a ministrului Lavrov față de Occident are ca scop crearea unui sprijin din partea unui public intern conservator înaintea alegerilor parlamentare din această toamnă. De altfel, la începutul acestei luni, președintele Vladimir Putin l-a pus pe Lavrov alături de alte personalități ale elitei Kremlinului, în fruntea listei candidaților partidului Rusia Unită în scrutinul din 19 septembrie.

Este a doua oară când Slovenia, ţară cu două milioane de locuitori, ocupă această poziţie, însă atmosfera este cu totul alta în prezent. În 2008, Slovenia era considerată un elev model al UE, iar preşedinţia Consiliului din prima jumătate a anului respectiv a fost celebrată ca o piatră de hotar pe drumul independenţei pentru această ţară din fosta Iugoslavie. Liderul conservator Janez Jansa era şi atunci prim-ministru. Printre priorităţile anunţate de Slovenia pentru preşedinţia de şase luni se numără şi summitul privind integrarea Balcanilor de Vest pe care îl va găzdui la toamnă, transmite G4Media.

În sistemul politic cipriot, preşedintele ţării conduce guvernul şi este ales direct.Aceste alegeri parlamentare sunt considerate un barometru politic pentru alegerile prezidenţiale din 2023.Secţiile de vot s-au deschis la orele locale 07:00 (04:00 GMT), iar primele exit-poll-uri sunt aşteptate după orele 17:00 GMT.Mai mult de 550.000 de persoane pot vota în aceste alegeri, în care concurează 15 partide.Cipru este divizat după invadarea în 1974 a treimii nordice a insulei de către armata turcă, ca reacţie la o lovitură de stat ce urmărea alipirea Ciprului la Grecia. Republica Turcă a Ciprului de Nord (RTCN), recunoscută doar de Ankara, este separată printr-o zonă tampon de sudul insulei mediteraneene, în care Republica Cipru - membră a Uniunii Europene de la 1 mai 2004 - îşi exercită autoritatea.Locuitorii părţii de nord a insulei sunt consideraţi cetăţeni europeni, însă legile UE nu se aplică acolo.Parlamentul din capitala Nicosia are 80 de membri, dar în prezent din el fac parte doar 56 de parlamentari greci ciprioţi. Celelalte 24 de locuri pentru membrii turci ciprioţi ai parlamentului sunt vacante din 1963.
