- Più che un'icona, Linda Evangelista è una record woman. Con i suoi grandi occhi celesti, la top di famiglia laziale (ma nata e cresciuta in Nord America) appare per la prima volta sulla nostra copertina, scattata da Meisel, nel febbraio 1989; poi ritorna a novembre e, nello stesso anno, a dicembre insieme a Naomi Campbell e Christy Turlington, dando vita a quella che viene chiamata "the trinity" e, di fatto, all'era delle supermodel. Oggi è sulla cover dei 60 anni di Vogue Italia, ma è apparsa anche su quella del trentesimo e del quarantesimo anniversario sempre fotografata da un altro mito della fashion industry: Steven Meisel Per lui si è trasformata infinite volte e anche questa non si è tirata indietro. Quando le si chiede come è nato il nostro servizio di copertina di settembre, dice: «di solito non parliamo di lavoro se passiamo del tempo insieme, ma quando Steven mi ha detto che avrebbe voluto scattarmi per la cover dei 60 anni di Vogue Italia con alcune altre donne italiane, il mio primo commento è stato: "Oh, quindi... anche Isabella!"», si illumina, parlando di Isabella Rossellini. «Steven ha annuito. E così magica, lei...».

Baby CEO

The Boss Baby, a 2017 animated comedy film from DreamWorks Animation, brings a unique twist to the concept of sibling rivalry with a dose of corporate intrigue. Directed by Tom McGrath and featuring a star-studded voice cast including Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, and Lisa Kudrow, this film is loosely based on Marla Frazee's 2010 picture book of the same name.

Plot Overview

Set in the late 1970s, the story follows 7-year-old Tim Templeton, whose life takes a wild turn with the arrival of his new baby brother, Boss Baby. Unlike typical infants, Boss Baby sports a suit and tie and exhibits adult-like behavior when out of his parents' sight. Tim discovers that Boss Baby is actually a secret agent from BabyCorp, sent to investigate the declining love for babies caused by the rising popularity of puppies. This mission kedai168 leads to a thrilling adventure that sees Tim and Boss Baby teaming up to thwart a plot by the CEO of Puppy Co., Francis E. Francis, who plans to unleash a "Forever Puppy" to steal all the love from babies.

Critical Reception and Impact

The Boss Baby premiered at the Miami International Film Festival on March 12, 2017, before hitting U.S. theaters on March 31. While it garnered mixed reviews—praised for its animation and Alec Baldwin's voice performance but critiqued for its complex plot and humor—it proved to be a financial success, grossing over $528 million worldwide against a $125 million budget. The film was recognized with nominations for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, Annie Awards, and Golden Globes.

Franchise Expansion

Following the film's success, The Boss Baby expanded into a popular franchise. A Netflix series, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, premiered on April 6, 2018, continuing the adventures of Boss Baby. The sequel film, The Boss Baby: Family Business, kedai168 was released on July 2, 2021, in theaters and on Peacock. Additionally, the franchise saw another Netflix series, The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib, launch on May 19, 2022.

Conclusion

From its quirky premise to its heartfelt conclusion, The Boss Baby offers a blend of comedy and charm that resonates with audiences of all ages. The film’s inventive storyline and memorable characters have cemented its place in the realm of family-friendly entertainment, with the franchise continuing to grow and delight viewers worldwide.

Alchemy Artisan

Reach level 10 in Alchemy, use 50 Alchemy Elixirs

Meet Jodie McGrath. Jodie is a young woman with big eyes that's just moved into the supernatural town of Moonlight Falls. Her traits are Supernatural Fan, Adventurous, Brave, Gatherer and Childish, and her favorite color is purple. It's actually the only color she wears, apart from white and black (and the occasional gold of a jewelry).

Jodie immediately got herself an alchemy station and got to work. She researched in her grand book of alchemy and quickly learned the skill.

Outside her quaint home, Jodie found a cardinal. She bought a cage for it and named it Buzby. In the outskirts of Moonlight Falls, it would keep her company while she worked on her skills.

Jodie started experimenting on herself with the elixirs. A night earlier, she used the Flask of Sleep on herself to get a good night's sleep. The next morning, she tried Vial of Bliss and it was awesome.

Later that day she headed closer to town to gather some metals and insects for her potions. This is something I have never actively done with a sim, so this collecting stuff will be an interesting new thing to do!

While Jodie tried creating the Ad Nauseum elixir, something went very wrong and she turned into a frog-human. She quickly made work of creating a cure and returned to her normal self, thankfully.

Jodie went out to the consignment store to be able to earn some more money with her elixirs. She sold some of her elixirs for consignment and went out into their yard to gather some butterflies, beetles and even honey from the beesboxes!

After selling her elixirs, Jodie headed to the festival and participated in the hot dog eating contest with the Wolff family. Sadly, she lost.

Jodie realized that not all ingredients she needed for her elixirs were so easy to come by, so she bought some ingredients from the consignment store and started a little in-home garden. Every morning, the first thing she'd do is take care of her little plants. Sadly, she was still missing one very important ingredient; red valerian.

While out collecting, Jodie found a snake! She took it home with her and kept it as her pet. Later, she even found some fireflies!

After making some friends in town, Jodie was invited to a halloween party at Pip Goodfellow's house. She showed up as a mermaid.

Back at home, Jodie was so proud of her elixirs, she decided the rest of Moonlight Falls should get to enjoy them for free. She'd earned enough to live comfortably for a little while by selling them for consignment, so she could afford to give some away for free. She travelled to the park and found Bianca Crumplebotton, who she gave the zombification exilir and jar of friendship. Now, Jodie had a zombie best friend!

Realising Jodie needed fish for some of her recipes, she went out the graveyard she lived next to and started fishing. Those fish were a little too strong for her, though, so she tried somewhere else with some easier fish. It's a skill issue.

Winter hit Moonlight Falls and it put a stop to Jodie's attempt at developing her fishing skill. She found the weather stone and realised that she, as a normal human, couldn't use it.

A little upset, Jodie went to the Toadstool and started using some elixirs on the few people there. Somehow, everyone she plagued with a jar of bees decided they were attracted to her.

Jodie figured out the recipe for the elixir that could make her a witch. She used it on herself, got a wand and broom, and got to work. Maybe then she could use the weather stone, but to start she could only make it rain. That wasn't gonna help with her fishing problem.

At another party of Pip Goodfellow's, Jodie found a like-minded Childish person and sat in the baby's room to play with the dollhouse. Later, she would plague Annie Nix's husband, because Annie was now her soulmate.

Heading to the library to use the last of her elixirs, Jodie terrorized the people. With 49 elixirs used, she headed back home, got cleaned up and used the last elixir on herself, finishing her lifetime wish. Now, her next step in life could be becoming the greatest witch ever known. Probably.

Jodie completed her lifetime wish in 21 sim-days. I really hope to see this wonderful sim again and develop her magical abilities. On to the next one.

Love only.

La misteriosa figura oscura del creatore dei Bitcoin

Le ultime corrispondenze di Satoshi Nakamoto, il creatore di Bitcoin, in merito ai suoi progetti futuri. Dodici anni fa, precisamente il 23 aprile 2011, un individuo noto come Satoshi Nakamoto, il creatore di Bitcoin, scrisse una delle sue ultime corrispondenze con lo sviluppatore di software Mike Hearn. Nello specifico, la mente dietro Bitcoin aveva dichiarato che lui, lei o loro erano “passati ad altre cose” e ha affermato con sicurezza che il progetto era stato affidato in “buone mani”. Di seguito tutti i dettagli. Satoshi Nakamoto crea Bitcoin e scompare nel nulla Come sappiamo, dopo la creazione di Bitcoin e l’implementazione iniziale della tecnologia, il misterioso Satoshi Nakamoto è scomparso dalla scena pubblica nel dicembre del 2010. In particolare, l’ultimo messaggio pubblico di Nakamoto è stato emesso il 12 dicembre dello stesso anno, quando Nakamoto ha sottolineato che “c’è altro lavoro da fare su DoS (denial-of-service)”.

Bitcoin: le ultime e-mail di Satoshi Nakamoto Successivamente, il creatore di Bitcoin ha tenuto una corrispondenza con alcuni degli sviluppatori dietro la prestigiosa crypto, tra cui Mike Hearn e Gavin Andresen. Hearn, nello specifico, ha ricevuto un’e-mail da Nakamoto il 23 aprile 2011, intitolata “Tenere monete in uno stato non spendibile per una finestra temporale continua”. Al tempo stesso, proprio Hearn chiedeva informazioni sulla possibilità del ritorno di Nakamoto nella comunità Bitcoin. Ed è stato a quel punto che Nakamoto ha affermato che lui, lei o loro erano “passati ad altre cose”, dichiarando con fermezza che il progetto era in “buone mani con Gavin e gli altri”. Il creatore di Bitcoin, inoltre, aveva anche rinnovato la speranza per il continuo sviluppo di Bitcoinj, la versione Java di Bitcoin di Mike Hearn, in quanto offre agli sviluppatori Java qualcosa su cui lavorare. Pochi giorni dopo questi fatti, Andresen ha ricevuto un’e-mail da Nakamoto in cui questo esprimeva frustrazione per il ritratto negativo ricevuto dalla stampa, come si legge: “Vorrei che non continuassi a parlare di me come di una misteriosa figura oscura. La stampa lo trasforma in un angolo di valuta pirata. Invece occupati del progetto open source e dai più credito ai tuoi contributori di sviluppo; aiuta a motivarli.”  È importante sottolineare che proprio questa mail è considerata l’ultima comunicazione conosciuta dall’enigmatico creatore di Bitcoin a chiunque. Le speculazioni in merito all’identità segreta Alcune delle speculazioni più importanti in merito all’identità del misterioso creatore di Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto sono avvenute il 7 marzo 2014, quando un articolo su Newsweek aveva affermato che il creatore di Bitcoin era un giapponese-americano di 64 anni di nome Dorian Nakamoto.  Tuttavia, un messaggio presumibilmente scritto da Nakamoto, è apparso sul forum online della P2P Foundation per smentire quanto sostenuto, come si legge: “Non sono Dorian Nakamoto.”  Da allora, non sono emersi ulteriori messaggi dal creatore di Bitcoin e di conseguenza le e-mail a Hearn e Andresen rimangono l’ultima traccia di testimonianze da parte di Nakamoto da oltre dieci anni. Ma perché si pensava proprio a Dorian Nakamoto dietro l’identità nascosta dell’inventore di Bitcoin? Tutto inizia appunto nel 2014, quando Leah McGrath Goodman di Newsweek ha pubblicato un articolo, di cui sopra, in cui affermava che si trattava del residente in California Dorian Nakamoto. Come ben sappiamo, negli ultimi undici anni ci sono state numerose identità che si sono autoproclamate di essere Satoshi, così come quelli che sono stati accusati da terzi di esserlo. La maggior parte dei sospetti, inoltre, aveva qualche legame con il movimento cypherpunk, ma non il sospettato di Goodman, il quale ha passato due mesi a indagare sulla sua storia. Nello specifico, uno dei maggiori punti di forza a sostegno del fatto che l’inventore di Bitcoin fosse Dorian Nakamoto risiede nel suo nome di nascita, che a quanto pare è proprio Satoshi Nakamoto. Inoltre, quando Goodman è arrivato a casa di Dorian in California, quest’ultimo aveva dichiarato che “non era più coinvolto in questo” e che “non può discuterne”. Il commento ha dunque spinto Goodman e le sue coorti di Newsweek a presumere che stesse parlando della creazione di Bitcoin, motivo per cui si è poi scatenata la teoria di cui sopra. Le teorie più importanti in merito all’identità del creatore di Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto Come si può facilmente immaginare, le teorie sulla vera identità di Satoshi Nakamoto sono numerose, in quanto nessuno veramente sa se è un uomo, una donna, un insieme di persone o altro ancora. Per risalire all’identità, dunque, all’inizio alcuni erano partiti dall’origine del nome giapponese. Infatti, in giapponese “satoshi” significa “un pensiero chiaro, veloce e saggio”. Mentre, “Naka” può significare “medium”, “dentro” o “relazione”. Infine, “Moto” può significare “origine” o “fondamento”. Tuttavia, non è mai stato verificato che questi significati possano ricondurre all’identità dietro la persona che ha inventato Bitcoin. Inoltre, in un secondo momento, si era pensato a Michael Clear, laureato in crittografia al Trinity College. Tuttavia, Clear ha negato ogni suo possibile coinvolgimento dietro l’invenzione di Bitcoin. Altri ancora sospettavano di Vili Lehdonvirta, ex sviluppatore di giochi finlandese, ma anch’egli ha smentito qualsiasi legame con Satoshi. Non solo, nel 2017, dopo una soffiata di un dipendente di SpaceX, è apparsa l’idea sul web che dietro allo pseudonimo si nascondesse Elon Musk, teoria poi smentita dallo stesso imprenditore sul suo account Twitter. Come abbiamo visto, le teorie negli anni sono balzate da una persona all’altra, fino ad arrivare alle dichiarazioni di Wright del 2016. Wright, al momento, sembra essere la personalità più accreditata per essere la mente dietro la creazione di Bitcoin. Ad ogni modo, in tutti questi anni ci sono state solo speculazioni, molte delle quali smentite. Dunque, molti dubbi e pochissime certezze in merito all’identità nascosta dietro lo pseudonimo di Satoshi Nakamoto. Viene spontaneo chiedersi se sapremo mai chi è veramente l’ideatore della famosa crypto Bitcoin. Read the full article
