What if the ancient Greeks and Romans actually had terrible taste?
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 NEW YORK - Even when you know what to expect, the results are disconcerting: 17 richly painted reproductions of ancient sculpture interspersed among Greek and Roman originals, creating a riot of color amid the more subtle hues of marble and bronze. The colorized works are part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition "Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color," displaying reconstructions of what ancient sculpture may have looked like, based on scientific analysis of pigment fragments from many surviving antiquities. Scholars have long known that the ancients painted and gilded their statues and embedded metals, precious stones and other materials to make them seem more lifelike. But the belief that ancient sculpture was monochrome - white as marble or uniformly patinated bronze - remains more durable and persistent than the scholarship. In its new … [Read more...] about What if the ancient Greeks and Romans actually had terrible taste?
At What Point Do You Become a Money Launderer?
Photo: Bloomberg/Bloomberg via Getty Images On Friday, authorities in the Netherlands announced they’d arrested a man connected to Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency program allegedly used by North Korea to launder about $500 million. But here’s the thing: The suspect isn’t accused of laundering money. The man, reported to be cybersecurity firm PepperSec CEO Alexey Pertsev, is a “developer,” someone who wrote code or otherwise had some hand in making a program used to erase fingerprints from digital-currency transactions. Sometimes that’s nefarious, but in other cases — like in people sending money to the Ukrainian resistance — there’s nothing wrong with it. The arrest set off alarm bells that privacy-minded coders, and freedom of speech, are again under an Orwellian attack. So far, what’s known about the case is scant. According to the Netherlands’ Fiscal Information and Investigation Service, the developer is “suspected of involvement in concealing criminal financial flows … [Read more...] about At What Point Do You Become a Money Launderer?
Rent Estimates In Santee Area
0 Real Estate The fair market rent for a two-bedroom rental increased from the previous year. Local Data , Patch Staff Posted Reply SANTEE, CA — Home prices in the United States have risen dramatically in large swaths of the country, but the same can't be said for all rentals. While rents for single-family homes have experienced big increases as renters and buyers compete for the same limited quantity of homes on the market, apartment rents haven't increased as swiftly. In Santee, the fair market rent estimate for a one-bedroom rental property in ZIP code 92071 increased from $1,550 in fiscal year 2020 to $1,650 in fiscal year 2021, while a four-bedroom rental increased from $3,550 to $3,710.

Andrew Breitbart, 1969-2012—David Frum
“Of the dead, speak nothing but what is good.” It’s an ancient rule and a wise one, but one that does not do justice to the life and career of Andrew Breitbart, dead today aged 43. It is impossible to speak nothing of a man who traced such a spectacular course through the contemporary media. But to speak only “good” of Andrew Breitbart would be to miss the story and indeed to misunderstand the man. The good was there. Breitbart was by all accounts generous with time and advice, a loving husband and father, and a loyal friend. One of those friends, Arianna Huffington, wrote today : “All I can think is what Andrew meant to me as a friend … his passion, his exuberance, his fearlessness." Breitbart was unquestionably passionate and was exuberant. If by “fearless” you mean perpetually eager for confrontation, then yes he was fearless too, although in a very particular way. Nobody would ever describe Andrew Breitbart as a man of “quiet courage.” He delighted in the enraged … [Read more...] about Andrew Breitbart, 1969-2012—David Frum

‘The Villainess’: Inside the Most Kickass Action Movie of the Year
From Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman and Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde to Katherine Waterston in Alien: Covenant and Dafne Keen in Logan , 2017 has already proven to be the year of the kickass big-screen heroine. Felling adversaries with both intensity and style, each of them has triumphed in infusing the traditionally male-oriented genre with a dose of enlivening anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better ferocity. More stunning still, however, is that this development has also corresponded with what might best be called Action Movie Escalation, a movement in which directors and stars strive to one-up competitors (and predecessors) in terms of one-against-many scenarios, complex choreography and punishing combat. It’s a trend epitomized by Atomic Blonde ’s jaw-dropping stairwell throwdown, an ingeniously staged sequence of virtuosic violence which, among other things, firmly established Theron as cinema’s most ferocious female enforcer . Or, at least, it seemed to, until … [Read more...] about ‘The Villainess’: Inside the Most Kickass Action Movie of the Year
