Museum in Nantes pulls show after intervention by Beijing, which comes as Communist party hardens discrimination against ethnic Mongols
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...s-genghis-khan

A French museum has postponed an exhibit about the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan citing interference by the Chinese government, which it accuses of trying to rewrite history.

It said the Chinese authorities demanded that certain words, including “Genghis Khan,” “Empire” and “Mongol” be taken out of the show. Subsequently they asked for power over exhibition brochures, legends and maps.

The spat comes as the Chinese government has hardened its discrimination against ethnic Mongols, many of whom live in the northern province of Inner Mongolia.

The exhibit was planned in collaboration with the Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot, China. But tensions arose, the Nantes museum said, when the Chinese Bureau of Cultural Heritage pressured the museum for changes to the original plan, “including notably elements of biased rewriting of Mongol culture in favour of a new national narrative”.

The museum branded it “censorship” and said it underlined a “hardening … of the position of the Chinese government against the Mongolian minority”.

"We have to act. We need to put a brake on the spread of the virus," President Emmanuel Macron told public television of the 9:00 pm - 6:00 am shutdown, which will be in force for up to six weeks.

Alongside Paris, major cities like Lyon, Mediterranean port Marseille and southwestern Toulouse will also impose curfews, meaning that around 20 million people will be affected out of a total population of some 67 million.

Yellowstone: nồi lẩu rực rỡ

... men sentenced for cooking chicken in Yellowstone hot spring

Three tourists were charged and sentenced last week for preparing supper by boiling chickens in one of the park’s natural hot springs. Not only did they “run a fowl of the law”, Whittlesey says, they “cooked their own goose” by doing something a bit harebrained.

Morgan Warthin, a Yellowstone spokesperson, said that two Idahoans and a Utah man toted two “cooking pots” into a remote part of the park in August, where they dipped a pair of whole raw chickens, held in a burlap sack, into one of the Shoshone Geyser Basin’s boiling geothermal features.

One of the accused told a judge his intention was to “make dinner”. The three men, all in their 40s and 50s, were handed harsh sentences, according to court documents. They received fines ranging between $540 and $1,250, and unsupervised probation; two of the men spent a couple of days in jail. All three are banned from entering Yellowstone.

Atlantic City: sụp đổ rực rỡ

Atlantic City: 'Trump turned this place into a ghost town'
https://www.theguardian.com/artandde...e-photographer

“I actually went back two weeks ago and they still haven’t closed off that HR entrance,” says Rose. “The smiling employees are still there, but Trump’s name has been scraped off, which I guess is telling. He’s tried to have his name removed from all his abandoned buildings here, but it’s still there if you look hard enough.”

One such place is the grounds of the Taj, where an elephant has the Trump name emblazoned below its feet. This flashy monument was created by sculptor Michael MacLeod, who was never paid for his work. Rose believes the elephant, which remained at the site when he visited in 2016 because it was too heavy to move, is a great metaphor for Trump’s own legacy in Atlantic City: “Making a lot of noise and stomping his weight around, but ultimately only leaving a trail of destruction.”

At one point, Trump had three casinos in Atlantic City, employing 8,000 people and accounting for nearly a third of the area’s gambling revenues. But they eventually became unsustainable thanks to a mixture of enormous debts, rival venues, weak local demand and negative press, which suggested Trump’s businesses were facilitating money laundering – something later given credence when the Taj was fined $10m for failing to report suspicious transactions.

Two, the Trump Castle and the Taj, now have new owners, but the famous Trump Plaza, which once hosted Wrestlemania and Mike Tyson fights, stands derelict and is set to be demolished.

The failure of the now president’s five Atlantic City businesses resulted in thousands of job losses and put dozens of local contractors out of business because they were, much like the elephant sculptor, unpaid. Yet, during his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump boasted of how he took “incredible” amounts of money out of Atlantic City, borrowing cash from third parties so his own wealth wasn’t affected by his various businesses going under.

According to Rose, his legacy is best reflected by Atlantic City’s 7.4% unemployment rate – nearly double the national average. “When Trump failed with his casinos,” says Rose, “he turned Atlantic City into a ghost town. His legacy still haunts the boardwalk.”

Rose recalls seeing one highly unexpected sight in Atlantic City: “When I was taking photos of the casinos, I saw two women in Maga hats. They live in a place that Trump helped ruin, yet still believe in him. I found that extraordinary.”

Tục danh: đổi tên "rực rỡ"

Austrian village changes name
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...e-changes-name

Residents of an Austrian village will ring in the new year under a new name – Fugging – after ridicule of their signposts, especially on social media, became too much to bear.They finally grew weary of Fucking, its current name, which some experts say dates back to the 11th century.

Minutes from a municipal council meeting published on Thursday showed that the village of about 100 people, 350km (215 miles) east of Vienna, will be named Fugging from 1 January 2021.

Increasing numbers of English-speaking tourists have made a point of stopping in to snap pictures of themselves by the signpost at the entrance to the village, sometimes striking lascivious poses for social media.

Some have reportedly even stolen the signposts, leading the local authorities to use theft-resistant concrete when putting up replacements.

According to the Austrian daily Die Presse, the villagers, known as Fuckingers, “have had enough of visitors and their bad jokes”.

Locals had previously found their village in the news after it was the backdrop for a book by Austrian novelist Kurt Palm, which was later turned into a film named Bad Fucking.

The village was first officially inhabited in about 1070, but local lore suggests that a sixth-century Bavarian nobleman called Focko actually founded the settlement. A map dating from 1825 used the spelling Fuking.

An American tourist who stole and inscribed a note on a shard of ancient Roman marble mailed it back to Italy, apologizing for being an 'a--hole'

An American tourist who pilfered and defaced a shard of an ancient Roman marble has mailed the piece back to Italy, begging for forgiveness.

This week the National Roman Museum received a parcel from Atlanta, Georgia, which contained a rock with "To Sam, love Jess, Rome 2017" written on it in marker pen, museum director Stéphane Verger told the Il Messaggero newspaper.

The rock was wrapped in newspaper, placed in a cardboard box, and sent with a note in which the sender expressed their shame, The Telegraph said.

"Please forgive me for being such an American a--hole," the letter said. "I took something that was not mine to take."

"I feel terrible for not only having taken this item from its rightful place, but having written on it as well."

"I spent hours trying to remove the writing, but without success," the person wrote.

Verger told Il Messagero that he was moved by the message, and thought it could be the result of an epiphany caused by the stresses of the coronavirus pandemic.

"It affected me precisely because she is young woman: she realised she was wrong," he said.

"It is a spontaneous gesture, but the fruit of conscious reflection."

"Maybe being cooped up by the coronavirus pandemic made her reflect a bit and jogged her conscience," Verger added.

Verger also said the gesture could have been triggered by the case of two Canadian tourists, who last month returned five fragments of stone stolen from Pompeii.

"I was young and stupid. I wanted to have a piece of history," said a note enclosed with those returned rocks, signed by a person called Nicole, according to The Times of London.

"Since then ill-fortune has played with me and my family," the Pompeii tourist added.
