“You do this little by little under legality, and our job is to coordinate to prevent third parties from profiting

Posted by | Ago 29, 2019 | |

(CBS/AP) MADRID – The lawyers for an elderly Spanish woman who made global headlines when she botched the restoration of a fresco of Jesus Christ say she has no interest in a cut of the tourism windfall her work has brought her northeastern Spanish town. But the attorneys are gearing up to put a stop to potential copyright violations of what she created – even though she had not set out to create anything at all. “We want to put some order to this anarchy,” said Antonio Val Carreras Rivera, one of her lawyers. “You do this little by little under legality, and our job is to coordinate to prevent third parties from profiting. We are at the beginning now, we can’t say if she has rights.” The church fresco in the town of Borja was for decades a little-known piece of religious art by a minor Spanish artist. Following the disastrous touch-up, revealed in August, it has found a new fate as a global icon – used to sell products around the world. The fresco depicts Christ with a crown of thorns before crucifixion, in a style style known as “Ecce Homo” (Behold the Man). It stood in peaceful obscurity in the Misericordia Sanctuary since its creation in 1930 – until Gimenez, a longtime devotee of the work, decided it needed to be rescued from flaking caused by...

New video for #Delicate at midnight EST tonight

Posted by | Ago 29, 2019 | |

With Taylor Swift exclusively releasing her new video “Delicate” on Spotify last week, it would appear that her tiff with the music streaming giant is officially over. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday that ending the feud took some time and travel by both parties. “I went to Nashville many, many times to talk to her team, spend more time directly explaining the model, why streaming mattered. And the great news is I think she saw how streaming was growing. I think she saw that fans were asking for it. So eventually when the new album came out, she came to Stockholm and spent some time with our team there figuring out a way that made sense for her,” he said. In 2014 Swift pulled her entire catalog of music from Spotify because she felt the company wasn’t fairly compensating artists. “But look, I mean, for me, first off, like I – I should have done a much better job communicating this. So I take full ownership for doing that,” Ek said of the controversy. New video for #Delicate at midnight EST tonight.

Jeff Glor talks with Sophie Hannah for her latest book, “The Cradle in the Grave,” a psychological thriller about a TV producer unwittingly caught up in a murder scandal. Jeff Glor: What inspired you to write the book? Sophie Hannah: Unusually for me, I was inspired by news events: three mothers accused of murdering their own children. Normally the origins of my novels are much more personal than that, but I would never have written “The Cradle in the Grave” if I hadn’t been fascinated by the real-life cases of three British women – Sally Clark, Angela Cannings and Trupti Patel – who were tried for the murders of their own babies. Clark lost two infant sons to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), or crib-death. Cannings and Patel each lost three babies, and doctors couldn’t find any explanation for the deaths. All three women were accused of murder. Testifying against them was eminent child protection expert Professor Sir Roy Meadow, who coined what came to be known as Meadow’s Law: ‘One crib death within a family is a tragedy, two is suspicious, three is murder’. Meadow also testified at Sally Clark’s trial that the odds of more than one baby in the same nuclear family dying unexpectedly of natural causes were 73 million to 1. On the basis of his testimony along these lines, both Sally Clark and Angela Cannings were found guilty of murder. By the time Trupti Patel came to stand trial, however, the public mood had changed. Many respected statisticians had come forward to say that Meadow’s 73 million to 1 statistic was utter nonsense. Campaigners for the exoneration and release of Clark and Cannings pointed out that if a particular family had an undiagnosed genetic condition, the likelihood of more than one baby from that family falling victim to SIDS might actually be very high. When Trupti Patel stood trial for the murders of her three babies, there were pro-Clark-and-Cannings, anti-Meadow protesters demonstrating outside the court. One medical expert witness who testified for the prosecution told me, ‘I knew as soon as I arrived at court and saw the crowd of protesters with their placards and banners, as soon as I was told that I had to be taken in round the back entrance in an armored van – I knew then that, whatever happened inside that courtroom, Trupti Patel would be acquitted. There was a lot of well-publicized anger about so-called evil doctors persecuting innocent crib-death mothers; politically, it would have been impossible to send yet another mother to prison for the murders of her three babies.’ I found this compelling, and chilling. There was no more or less conclusive evidence of either guilt or innocence in the Patel case than in Clark or Cannings. If Angela Cannings had been the third of the three women to stand trial rather than the second, she would almost definitely have been acquitted. If Sally Clark had been third instead of first, she would have secured not-guilty verdicts too. Trupti Patel was fortunate to have been tried at a time when public opinion was heavily weighted in favour of ‘the crib-death mothers’ rather than ‘the child protection hawk doctors’. This was another aspect of the whole affair that I became obsessed with: the way everybody I spoke to about this issue seemed to view it in ‘team’ terms – the mothers versus the doctors. In the course of my research for “The Cradle in the Grave,” I asked many people – almost everyone I met – for their views on these newsworthy cases. Some people were on the doctors’ side, and others supported the mothers; it was either ‘Those doctors are evil – they demonize innocent women’ or ‘Those women murdered their babies – it’s just that no one can prove it’. Not one single person said, ‘Since Sally Clark, Angela Cannings and Trupti Patel are completely distinct individuals, I think it’s possible that Roy Meadow was right about one or two of them and wrong about one or two of them. Some of them might be guilty and some innocent’. Everyone in the country seemed to have decided what story they wanted to tell themselves, and was cherry-picking the facts that would make that story work, while disregarding anything that didn’t quite fit. So – very long-winded answer! – I wanted to write a novel about several woman accused of murdering their babies, and to tell the stories of those women as individuals. How do three completely different women who have never met, and who have nothing but motherhood in common, end up in horrific predicaments that are sinisterly similar? And are they really similar, or do they only appear to be? That’s where the mystery element comes in! JG: What else are you reading right now? SH: I am reading “Shit My Dad Says” by Justin Halpern, a brilliant, baffling, painful book that details a childhood full of what can only be described as psychological abuse in a way that makes the reader suspect the author has no idea quite how dysfunctionly damaging his hilariously sarcastic father is. The book is both laugh-out-loud funny and slightly chilling; its every page demonstrates the difficulty of recognizing abuse when it arrives in the form of extremely witty one-liners from an allegedly loving parent. JG: What’s next for you?
