    Interview du groupe The Staples ou The Staple Singers à leurs débuts en 1963. J’extrais une citation du père, Roebuck, sur le racisme auquel ils devaient faire face :

    Staple Singers Interview
    Chris Strachwitz and Barbara Dane, 3 August 1963
    ▻http://arhoolie.org/staple-singers-interview-2

    Extrait :

    Roebuck Staples: This is my land. This is ours. This land belong to everybody. To see it like that, we’d have a better United States. It’s just really rough, what the colored entertainers have to go through with sometime, in the trail. We hit down in the Southern states. It’s hard to get food sometimes. Nobody know, that’s why colored people sang the blues. That’s why they can sing with soul.

    With all the integration, and what they’re saying have been done, you don’t know what’s gone on when you get out there and even the police will tell you things in your car, that you know you don’t know what’s going on, either.

    Who was it, Jackie Russell? I was reading little piece where they let him go inside a white hotel. He’d let Barbara come in, and then the desk clerk had a fit. You can’t do nothing you know. It’s just so silly.

    I was down south last year. I was at a cavalcade and had, how many cars would we have? About four cars. I drive a Cadillac because that’s the best car. I’m not trying to be a big shot. That’s the best car in the world to drive. When you talk about Cadillac, they always give you one. I hope they see this and they can give me a Cadillac, but they’re the best cars in the world. I don’t do nothing but put gas in that car and change the oil. We drove up to Yazoo City, Mississippi, and I never will forget, a man asked me and I told him, fill my car up. Fill it up. I was driving a brand new ’62 Cadillac. Reverend Franklin driving a brand new ’62 Cadillac. And they was kind of mad at us ‘cause we was driving them big new cars and “what about that one back there? Want me to fill up too?”

    I said “Reverend you want your car filled up too…? I said “Yeah, fill ‘em up.” “Don’t you say Yeah to us white people down here.” Yes he did. He had fifty cent worth of gas in my car. I said, cut it off. That’s plenty. He cut it off. I gave him fifty cent. Thank you. My son came out of the door, and getting’ a can of something, and he said, okay to him…”Don’t say Okay, you say Yes sir to us white people down here. “

    I can’t understand. We went on down the street, and I don’t know what he was thinking of. We went down, he lost twenty-five dollars. We went on down the street, we filled all the cars up.

    He lost twenty-five dollars right there. We went on to the next station. We filled up. We had a full car. I don’t see how he can stand to lose that money like that. Twenty-five dollars. When you fill it up, it cost seven to eight dollars. He lost about twenty-some dollars. Right there. Just on account of he abused me like that.

    Not an exclusive place. I went in to just a service station. They had a counter there, you know. I ordered, I was driving. We’d gone late at night, real late, and I was going to get something to eat here, get us some sandwiches. Went in there, and I ordered. Well, you go around to the back. Well you keep your food, I’m gone. That’s the kind of stuff. You’d be hungry too, but you don’t feel like eating it after they tell you something like that.

    I took my son to get some sandwiches, in a place down there, two ladies was in there. I went to the front, and I was asking, Perv, what you doing back here? He told me, they told me to come around the back. I said, never buy any food like that as long as you live. If my money won’t spend there, if it’s not good enough to spend there, it’s not good enough to spend back here. Lady came, she said, Mr., said we awful sorry. Said we trying to make a living, so I know how you feel, but we got to do what this man said. We can’t do nothing about it. We hate it as bad as you do. Some of them, it’s not all bad white people now. Don’t think that, because she just didn’t see any sense in herself, she couldn’t see it, but there are some, yep, if they didn’t do that, they would lose their jobs, and they’d needed to work.

    One girl was coming through going to Cincinnati, stopped in the house in Chicago. CORE (Congress for Racial Equality) convention was in Cincinnati, Ohio. She stopped, and I asked her how was things going. She’s from Jackson, Mississippi, right out where Evers got killed, and asked her how was things in Mississippi. She was coming on from Jackson then, in Canton, and the police stopped her. Let me see your driver’s license, nigger. Who you calling nigger? See all that kind of stuff we have to go through with, that you all don’t, the white never know about...

    Un étudiant américain, Otto Warmbier, condamné à quinze années de travaux forcés en Corée du Nord pour avoir volé une affiche dans un hôtel, a été libéré, a indiqué mardi 13 juin le secrétaire d’Etat américain. « M. Warmbier est en route vers les Etats-Unis où il sera réuni avec sa famille », a précisé Rex Tillerson dans un communiqué.

    Selon le Washington Post, Otto Warmbier, 22 ans, se trouve dans le coma depuis plus d’un an après avoir contracté un cas de botulisme et fait l’objet d’un évacuation médicale. Il est attendu dans la soirée de mardi à Cincinnati, dans l’Ohio. Le chef de la diplomatie américaine s’est refusé à commenter l’état de santé du jeune Américain « par respect pour lui et pour sa famille ».

    THE TWENTIETH DAY OF JANUARY – HiLobrow
    ▻http://hilobrow.com/2017/01/20/the-twentieth-day-of-january

    http://hilobrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/allbeury-cover.jpg

    J’adore - c’est une des plus belles théories conspirationnistes que j’ai jamais lu. Pour faire aussi fort il faut remonter au moins jusqu’aux illuminati . Bonne lecture :-)

    This really obscure British spy novel, written by Ted Allbeury, who was a contemporary of Len Deighton’s. It’s called The Twentieth Day of January. It was published in 1981. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been told that it is Donald Trump’s favorite thriller.

    THEORY OF EVERYTHING: I thought Donald Trump hasn’t read any books?

    “JOSH GLENN”: Well, I heard about this book everywhere. From spy novel fans in New York, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Miami, Jersey City, Dallas — even London, Paris, and Prague.

    In each case, this was from someone who had encountered Trump in the late ’80s — when Trump was first rising as a celebrity. One woman used to work backstage on Oprah’s show — Trump talked to her about the book in the green room. There was a guy who worked as crew on Trump’s yacht — what was it called? The Trump Princess? And one guy had been a pilot on one of Trump’s Sikorsky helicopters. For a couple of years there, Trump apparently talked the book up to everyone he met — so enthusiastically that, years later, they remembered.

    Now, I never paid any attention to this. I had no interest in reading an obscure spy novel just because Trump liked it. But then over Christmas after the election, I was visiting family in Bozeman, Montana. And there it was, in a used bookstore: The Twentieth Day of January.

    http://hilobrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/allbeury-back.jpg

    THEORY OF EVERYTHING: And? Is it good?

    “JOSH GLENN”: No, it’s terrible. The plot is ridiculous. A Republican — Logan Powell — has just been elected president. This guy has never been in politics before, but he beats a crowded field of experienced politicians to become first a senator, then president. He’s from a wealthy East Coast family, but he sells himself as a populist. And his big idea is — he wants the US and Russia to be friends. And despite opposition from within his own party, this guy wins the election.

    THEORY OF EVERYTHING: This is kind of a weirdly prescient novel!

    http://hilobrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Churkin_20thDay-e1484849583326.png

    “JOSH GLENN”: I’m just getting started! With only a month to go before the inauguration — on the 20th day of January — an officer in Britain’s intelligence service (!) who’d spent years under diplomatic cover working for the agency, MI6, in Russia and Paris and London, gets wind of a plot by the Kremlin to influence the US election.

    Anti-Semitic? Disqualifying? Keith Ellison’s views on Israel are the same as most U.S. Jews - Opinion

    It would be tragic if a smear campaign espoused by the Jewish community kept Keith Ellison from the leadership position Democrats desperately need him to fill.

    Rebecca Zimmerman Hornstein Dec 06, 2016

    When my grandmother, a Polish Holocaust survivor, passed away in 1998, my family set up an annual memorial lecture in her honor at her Cincinnati synagogue. When I was twelve years old, my father’s close friend and then-colleague in the Minnesota House of Representatives, Keith Ellison, flew from Minnesota to Ohio to support our family and attend the lecture.
    After listening to the story of my grandmother’s life and hearing from groups fighting hate speech in the United States, my dad, Keith and I took a trip to the newly opened National Underground Railroad Freedom Museum on the other side of town.
    I remember Keith telling me of his ancestors’ history from slavery to the Civil Rights movement. He spoke about how his connection to his family’s history of survival and resistance motivated him to dedicate his life to fighting for justice for all people.
    Our generational histories of trauma are very different, but our trip to Cincinnati has stayed with me as I participate in the fight for social justice, grounded in my own Jewish community and history.
    In the fourteen years since, Congressman Keith Ellison has remained a close friend to my family, and a supportive mentor and role model to me. As a rabbinic student, I have therefore been baffled and deeply disturbed that claims of Congressman Ellison’s anti-Semitism have gained traction within the Jewish community and beyond.
    The Anti-Defamation League’s accusation that Congressman Ellison made anti-Semitic statements (based on out of context quotes), coupled with Haim Saban’s recent claims that he is “clearly an anti-Semite and anti-Israel person” could not be farther from my own experiences with Congressman Ellison over the past decade and half.

      Depuis des décennies, la science est la cible d’attaques dès lors que ses découvertes touchent de puissants intérêts commerciaux. Des individus dans le déni de la science ou financés par des intérêts industriels déforment délibérément des preuves scientifiques afin de créer une fausse impression de controverse. Cette manufacture du doute a retardé des actions préventives et eu de graves conséquences pour la santé des populations et l’environnement.

      Les « marchands de doute » sont à l’œuvre dans plusieurs domaines, comme les industries du tabac et de la pétrochimie ou le secteur agrochimique. A elle seule, l’industrie pétrochimique est la source de milliers de produits toxiques et contribue à l’augmentation massive des niveaux de dioxyde de carbone atmosphérique, à l’origine du changement climatique.

      La lutte pour la protection du climat est entrée dans une nouvelle ère avec l’accord de Paris de 2015, malgré la farouche opposition de climatosceptiques sourds au consensus établi par les scientifiques engagés pour travailler dans l’intérêt général.

      Une lutte comparable fait actuellement rage autour de la nécessaire réduction de l’exposition aux perturbateurs endocriniens. La Commission européenne s’apprête à mettre en place la première réglementation au monde sur le sujet. Bien que de nombreux pays aient également manifesté leur inquiétude à l’égard de ces produits chimiques, aucun n’a instauré de réglementation qui les encadrerait globalement.

      JAMAIS L’HUMANITÉ N’A ÉTÉ CONFRONTÉE À UN FARDEAU AUSSI IMPORTANT DE MALADIES EN LIEN AVEC LE SYSTÈME HORMONAL

      Jamais l’humanité n’a été confrontée à un fardeau aussi important de maladies en lien avec le système hormonal : cancers du sein, du testicule, de l’ovaire ou de la prostate, troubles du développement du cerveau, diabète, obésité, non-descente des testicules à la naissance, malformations du pénis et détérioration de la qualité spermatique.

      La très grande majorité des scientifiques activement engagés dans la recherche des causes de ces évolutions préoccupantes s’accordent pour dire que plusieurs facteurs y contribuent, dont les produits chimiques capables d’interférer avec le système hormonal.

      Des sociétés savantes signalent que ces produits chimiques, appelés les perturbateurs endocriniens, constituent une menace mondiale pour la santé. Parmi ceux-ci : les retardateurs de flamme présents dans les meubles et l’électronique, les agents plastifiants dans les matières plastiques et les produits d’hygiène, ou encore les résidus de pesticides dans notre alimentation. Ils peuvent interférer avec les hormones naturelles lors de périodes critiques du développement, pendant la grossesse ou la puberté, lorsque notre organisme est particulièrement vulnérable.

      Une réglementation nécessaire

      On ne peut faire face à ce fardeau croissant de maladies à l’aide de meilleurs traitements médicaux : non seulement ces traitements n’existent pas toujours, mais les effets des perturbateurs endocriniens sur la santé sont bien souvent irréversibles. Les possibilités de réduire notre exposition à un niveau individuel en évitant certains produits de consommation sont, elles aussi, limitées. La plupart de ces substances atteignent notre organisme par le biais de notre alimentation.

      Seule solution pour enrayer la hausse des maladies liées au système hormonal : prévenir l’exposition aux produits chimiques à l’aide une réglementation plus efficace. Or le projet d’établir une réglementation de ce type dans l’Union européenne est activement combattu par des scientifiques fortement liés à des intérêts industriels, produisant l’impression d’une absence de consensus, là où il n’y a pourtant pas de controverse scientifique. Cette même stratégie a été utilisée par l’industrie du tabac, contaminant le débat, semant le doute dans la population et minant les initiatives des dirigeants politiques et des décideurs pour développer et adopter des réglementations plus efficaces.

      Les discussions sur le changement climatique et sur les perturbateurs endocriniens ont toutes deux souffert de cette déformation des preuves scientifiques par des acteurs financés par l’industrie.

      La plupart des scientifiques pensent qu’exprimer publiquement leur point de vue sur des questions politiques et participer aux débats de société pourrait compromettre leur objectivité et leur neutralité. Ce serait effectivement inquiétant si nos opinions politiques obscurcissaient notre jugement scientifique. Mais ce sont ceux qui nient la science qui laissent leurs opinions politiques obscurcir leur jugement. Avec, pour conséquence, des dommages irréparables. La manipulation de la science concernant les effets de la fumée du tabac a coûté des millions de vies. Nous ne devons pas refaire la même erreur.

      Une urgence

      Nous considérons qu’il n’est plus acceptable de nous taire. En tant que scientifiques, nous avons en fait l’obligation de participer au débat et d’informer le public. Nous avons la responsabilité de rendre visibles les implications de nos travaux pour la société et les générations futures, et d’attirer l’attention sur les graves dangers qui nous menacent.

      Les enjeux sont importants, et l’action politique pour endiguer l’exposition aux perturbateurs endocriniens et les conséquences des émissions de gaz à effet de serre est devenue une urgence.

      Scientifiques spécialistes des perturbateurs endocriniens ou du changement climatique, nous avons uni nos forces, car un grand nombre d’actions essentielles à la limitation des effets des perturbateurs endocriniens contribueront également à lutter contre le changement climatique.

      La plupart des substances chimiques synthétisées par l’homme sont des dérivés de combustibles fossiles produits par l’industrie pétrochimique. Une réduction de la quantité de pétrole raffiné permettra aussi de réduire la quantité de sous-produits utilisés dans les plastiques et celle de plastifiants : ces produits chimiques compromettent la santé reproductive masculine et contribuent au risque de certains cancers.

      Une réduction de la dépendance aux combustibles fossiles et un encouragement au développement des énergies alternatives entraîneront non seulement une baisse des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, mais aussi de celles de mercure. Ce dernier, un contaminant issu du charbon, émis dans l’air et accumulé dans le poisson, finit par atteindre nos organismes et compromet le développement du cerveau.

      Créer l’équivalent du GIEC

      Bien que de nombreux Etats aient exprimé la volonté politique de traiter le problème des gaz à effet de serre, la traduction des connaissances scientifiques sur le changement climatique en action politique effective a été bloquée, notamment à cause de la désinformation du public et des dirigeants. Les gouvernements sont déjà en retard. Il est important de ne pas répéter ces erreurs avec les perturbateurs endocriniens, et d’apprendre de l’expérience des scientifiques du climat et de la recherche en santé publique.

      DANS LA PRATIQUE, IL SERA TRÈS DIFFICILE DE RECONNAÎTRE UNE SUBSTANCE DANGEREUSE COMME PERTURBATEUR ENDOCRINIEN DANS L’UNION EUROPÉENNE

      La Commission européenne a maintenant l’opportunité de choisir des instruments de réglementation qui pourront fixer de nouveaux standards pour le monde entier afin de nous protéger des effets nocifs des perturbateurs endocriniens.

      Nous sommes cependant préoccupés par les options réglementaires que propose aujourd’hui Bruxelles, très éloignées des mesures nécessaires pour protéger notre santé et celle des générations futures.

      Les options proposées pour identifier les perturbateurs endocriniens requièrent un niveau de preuve bien plus élevé que pour d’autres substances dangereuses, comme celles cancérigènes. Dans la pratique, il sera très difficile de reconnaître une substance dangereuse comme perturbateur endocrinien dans l’Union européenne.

      Des actions urgentes sont nécessaires sur les deux thèmes. Pour cette raison, nous appelons au développement et à la mise en œuvre de mesures qui s’attaqueraient aux perturbateurs endocriniens et au changement climatique de façon coordonnée.

      Un moyen efficace pourrait être la création, sous les auspices de l’Organisation des Nations unies, d’un groupe ayant le même statut international et les mêmes prérogatives que le Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat (GIEC). Ce groupe serait chargé d’évaluer les connaissances scientifiques destinées aux responsables politiques dans l’intérêt général et mettrait la science à l’abri de l’influence des intérêts privés. Nous le devons aux générations qui vivront demain.

    Female Poisoners Who Killed With Arsenic | Mental Floss
    ▻http://mentalfloss.com/article/72351/12-female-poisoners-who-killed-arsenic

    Over the past few centuries, arsenic poisoning has been a particularly popular way to kill someone. It’s odorless, tasteless, and builds up in the human body. A large dose will kill someone in hours, while a steady, small dose will cause someone to become ill and appear to die from natural causes. The poison used to be extremely difficult to detect after death, until James Marsh developed a reliable test in 1832. Even after that, only the victims of suspicious deaths were tested—so many arsenic killers tallied up multiple victims before being caught.

      1. GIULIA TOFANA

      Giulia Tofana was a poison-maker in 17th-century Italy. Some sources attribute the invention of the mysterious poison called Aqua Tofana to her, but there are earlier mentions of the “inheritance potion.” (Others attribute the development of Aqua Tofana to Teofania di Adamo, who was executed in 1633 and might have been Giulia Tofana’s mother.) At any rate, both women made and sold the concoction, which included a base of arsenic with some other ingredients, most likely lead and belladonna. Just a few drops could kill a person. At the time, many women had so little status and power that their only means of breaking away from a bad marriage was death, and there was no shortage of women who wanted to keep that option in a small bottle on their dressing tables. As many as 600 people may have died as a result of Tofana’s business over an 18-year period. Eventually, one of her customers was caught, which led to an investigation. Tofana was executed for her activities, along with her daughter and several other accomplices, in 1659.

      2. AMY ARCHER-GILLIGAN

      Amy Archer-Gilligan ran a nursing home in Connecticut from 1907 to 1917. When her first husband and business partner James Archer died in 1910, Archer-Gilligan was the beneficiary of a substantial recently-purchased life insurance policy. She married Michael Gilligan in 1913. Three months later, he was dead. Meanwhile, too many people were dying in the nursing home, particularly those who had recently paid for their care with a lump sum. A complaint from a relative led to a newspaper and police investigation, which led to exhumations. Her second husband and several patients tested positive for arsenic. Archer-Gilligan was tried on only one count of murder and found guilty in 1917. She was sentenced to death, but a new trial was granted to determine whether Archer-Gilligan was insane. That trial led to a life sentence, but she was later sent to a mental institution where she lived until her death in 1962. Archer-Gilligan’s number of victims could be anywhere between five and 48. Her story is thought to have inspired the play Arsenic and Old Lace.

      3. BERTHA GIFFORD

      Bertha Gifford was born in the 1870s in the town of Morse Mill, Missouri. She married a man named Graham, but when she took up with Gene Gifford, her husband died of a mysterious ailment. She and Gifford married and moved to Catawissa, Missouri, where Bertha became known as a Good Samaritan. She often took care of sick people in her community, going to their homes and cooking for them. She built a reputation as an excellent cook, and she also made home remedies. Quite a few children died under her care, but children, especially sick children, often died from one disease or another in those days. Older people died, too. But in 1917, two healthy, middle-aged men died. Sherman Pounds died at the Gifford’s home, and later hired hand Jim Ogle died after a dispute over pay with the Giffords. Pounds’ three-year-old granddaughter also died while staying with Bertha Gifford in 1922, and seven-year-old Irene Stuhlfelder died under Gifford’s care in 1923. In 1925, Ethel Schamel, two of her sons, and another relative all died within a few months, again under Gifford’s care. Farm hand Ed Brinley died in 1927. Finally, growing rumors of Gifford’s involvement in all those deaths brought an investigation. The bodies of Ed Brinley and the Schamel brothers were exhumed and found to contain large amounts of arsenic. It came out that Bertha Gifford had purchased a lot of arsenic over the years to poison barn rats. She went to trial for two murders in 1928, and was found criminally insane. She was committed to a state mental hospital, where she died in 1951.

      Wellcome Images // CC BY 4.0

      Mary Ann Geering was born in 1800 and lived in Guestling, East Sussex, UK, in 1846 when her husband Richard Geering inherited £20. That was a lot of money back then, but not enough to induce murder plans in most people. Two years later, Richard died after a painful illness of five days. His death was attributed to heart disease. Four months passed, and Geering’s 21-year-old son George died. A few weeks later in 1849, 26-year-old son James also died from a painful illness of just a few days. A third son, 18-year-old Benjamin, fell ill shortly afterward on Easter Sunday. This time, doctors removed the patient from the home, and Benjamin recovered. His doctors raised an alarm, and Mary Ann Geering’s husband and two dead sons were exhumed. The bodies were full of arsenic. Geering was arrested and her three younger children were taken to a poorhouse. She confessed during her trial, and was hanged in 1849.

      5. BLANCHE TAYLOR MOORE

      Blanche Taylor Moore married her first husband James Taylor in 1952 when she was 19 years old. She jumped into marriage to escape her abusive father, an alcoholic minister named P.D. Kiser. Kiser died in 1966 of heart failure, although arsenic was later found in his body. Taylor himself died in 1973 after a mysterious illness. Blanche had been carrying on an affair with her co-worker Raymond Reid for years, and they began dating openly after her husband’s death. Reid, however, died in 1986.

      Blanche then was able to openly date another man she had been seeing secretly, the Reverend Dwight Moore. The two married in 1989. Immediately after returning from their honeymoon, Rev. Moore was admitted to a hospital. Suspicious doctors found he had been poisoned with arsenic. Dwight Moore survived with treatment, but has suffered lingering health effects. The bodies of James Taylor and Raymond Reid were exhumed; both showed high levels of arsenic. Blanche Moore was arrested and tried in 1990 for the murder of Raymond Reid. She was found guilty and sentenced to death. Moore is on Death Row and continues to profess her innocence. A made-for-television movie about her case was aired in 1993, in which Elizabeth Montgomery played the role of Moore. Incidentally, there is no truth to the rumor that Moore requested a live kitten for her last meal. Now 82, she is still on Death Row.

      6. JUDY BUENOANO

      Florida Department of Corrections via Wikimedia Commons // Public Domain

      Judias Buenoano was an abused child and already had a son when she married Air Force officer James Goodyear in 1962. The couple had two more children and settled in Florida. Goodyear served in Vietnam, but died of a mysterious malady three months after coming home to his wife in 1971. Buenoano collected on three life insurance policies. A couple of months later, she collected on another policy when her home burned (another insured home burned a few years later). By 1973 Buenoano had a new lover, Bobby Joe Morris. She and her children moved to Colorado with Morris in 1977, but he died of a mysterious malady in 1978. Again, Buenoano collected on several insurance policies.

      Back in Florida by 1979, Buenoano’s adult son Michael visited his mother and suffered base metal poisoning, which left him disabled but alive. He drowned in 1980 while on a canoeing trip with his mother, and Buenoano again collected on three life insurance policies. She dated a man named John Gentry and took out a life insurance policy on him. He was hospitalized with a mysterious malady, but survived, only to return to the hospital when his car exploded in 1983. Gentry cooperated with investigating police, telling them of the vitamins Buenoano gave him before his earlier illness. The “vitamins” contained paraformaldehyde and arsenic. Gentry also found out that Buenoano had told her friends that Gentry had a terminal illness (he did not). The bodies of James Goodyear and Bobby Joe Morris were exhumed and found to contain high levels of arsenic. In 1984, Judias Buenoano was sentenced to life for the murder of her son, and in 1985, she received a death sentence for the murder of James Goodyear. Buenoano was executed in Florida in 1998.

      Screenshot via YouTube

      Margie Velma Bullard Barfield was not home when a house fire killed her first husband Thomas Burke in 1969 in North Carolina. Another fire soon afterwards destroyed what was left of the home. She married Jennings Barfield in 1970, but he died in 1971. Barfield moved in with her parents, but her father died of cancer and her mother died in 1974 of a mysterious illness. A boyfriend also died in a car accident.

      Barfield moved in with Dollie and Montgomery Edwards in 1976, working as a nurse for the elderly couple. They both died in 1977. The next elderly man in her care, John Henry Lee, also died in 1977. Barfield then moved in with her boyfriend Stuart Taylor, who soon died of a mysterious illness. Taylor’s autopsy showing the presence of arsenic, and a tip from Barfield’s sister led to her arrest. Jennings Barfield’s body was exhumed and also found to contain arsenic. The widow eventually confessed to several murders. In 1978, Velma Barfield was convicted of the murder of Stuart Taylor and in 1984 became the first woman in the US executed by lethal injection.

      8. NANNIE DOSS

      Serial killer Nancy Hazle later became known as Nannie Doss and was also referred to in the press as “the Giggling Granny” because of her bizarre behavior. In 1921, when she was only 16 years old, she married Charlie Braggs. They produced four daughters. The two middle daughters died under mysterious circumstances in 1927, and Braggs left Doss. She met Frank Harrelson through a lonely hearts column and married him in either 1929, 1937, or 1945 (accounts vary). He died from ingesting rat poison in 1945. Meanwhile, two of Doss’ grandchildren died under mysterious circumstances. Doss married her third husband, Arlie Lanning, in 1947. He died in 1952 of heart failure, although he had no history of heart problems. Soon after, their home burned. The house had been willed to Lanning’s sister, but the insurance beneficiary was Doss. Soon after, Lanning’s mother and Doss’ sister died.

      Husband number four was Richard Morton, whom Doss married in 1952. During that marriage, Doss’ father died and her mother came to live with her. The arrangement did not last long, as Louisa Hazle died within a few days of her arrival in 1953. Richard Morton died three months later. Nannie Doss immediately began looking for another husband, and married her fifth, Sam Doss, in 1953. Within a couple of months, he was hospitalized with a mysterious illness, but survived and was sent home on October 5th, only to die later that night. Sam Doss’ suspicious doctor ordered an autopsy and found (you guessed it) arsenic. Nannie was finally arrested, and she confessed to murdering all four deceased husbands, a mother-in-law, her own mother, her sister, and a grandson. She pleaded guilty to the murder of Sam Doss and was sentenced to life. She died in prison in 1965.

      Anna Marie Hahn was the first woman to die in Ohio’s electric chair and only the second woman executed by the state. She immigrated from Germany in 1929. After divorcing her second husband, Hahn began working as a private live-in nurse for elderly German men in Cincinnati. Her patients tended to die and leave their fortunes to Hahn, which helped pay for her gambling habit. The string of unusual deaths ended in 1937, when police found a suspicious amount of arsenic in George Obendoerfer’s body. An investigation revealed a string of unusual deaths among Hahn’s patients, and a survivor who caught her trying to poison him. Hahn was convicted of one murder, that of Jacob Wagner, in 1937. She was executed in 1938.

      10. DAISY DE MELKER

      Daisy Louisa de Melker was the second woman ever to be hanged for her crimes in South Africa. She married Alfred Cowle in 1909. Four of their five children died in infancy. Cowle died in 1923, and left de Melker a substantial inheritance. Three years later, de Melker married Robert Sproat, who died in 1927 after a painful illness that resembled Cowle’s. De Melker once again collected a fortune in inheritance.

      In 1931, Daisy married Sydney Clarence de Melker, a plumber, as her previous husbands had been. In 1932, de Melker’s 20-year old son Rhodes Cowle died after drinking coffee his mother had prepared. William Sproat, the brother of de Melker’s second husband, became suspicious and demanded an investigation. Rhodes Cowle’s body was found to contain arsenic. James Webster, a man who had become sick after drinking some of Cowle’s coffee but survived, also tested positive for arsenic. William Cowle and Robert Sproat, de Melker’s first and second husbands, were exhumed and strychnine was found in the decomposed tissues. De Melker was charged with three murders but found guilty of only one, that of her son. She was hanged in December of 1932.

      11. MARY ANN COTTON

      \the ledgeand via Wikimedia Commons // Public Domain

      Mary Ann Cotton had three husbands and at least 10 children who died of ambiguous gastric illnesses between 1852 and 1872. The third of her four husbands survived, and her 13th and last child was born as she awaited trial. Several stepchildren and lovers also died of the same symptoms, but Cotton avoided suspicion by constantly moving to different towns around England. The first sign of trouble for Cotton came in 1872, when she predicted the death of her apparently healthy young stepson Charles Edward Cotton to an official. When Charles Edward Cotton died suddenly a few days later, Cotton’s first errand was to collect on his life insurance. Told that she needed a death certificate, Cotton went to the child’s doctor, who refused to sign until a formal inquest was held. An examination of the body found evidence of arsenic. Two other bodies from the family were exhumed and were also found to contain arsenic. Mary Ann Cotton was found guilty of the death of her stepson and was promptly hanged. Her story was made into a nursery rhyme.

      Mary Ann Cotton,
      Dead and forgotten
      She lies in her bed,
      With her eyes wide open
      Sing, sing, oh, what can I sing,
      Mary Ann Cotton is tied up with string
      Where, where? Up in the air
      Sellin’ black puddens a penny a pair.

      12. TILLIE KLIMEK

      Public Domain

      Chicago resident Tillie Klimek had a reputation as a psychic. She began predicting the deaths of neighborhood dogs with startling accuracy. In 1914 she predicted the death of her husband, John Mitkiewitz. Astonishingly, Mitkiewitz died three weeks later. Klimek collected his life insurance money and went to a matchmaker. Her second husband, John Ruskowski, died only three months later, just as Klimek predicted. Husband number three, Frank Kupczyk, lasted only a few years before he died. Klimek also foresaw the death of a neighbor woman who raised suspicions about Klimek’s husbands. Klimek predicted the death of three children belonging to a family she had trouble with as well—and sure enough, the children all died. The widow remarried to Anton Klimek, husband number four, in 1921. Soon after a new life insurance policy went into effect, family members visited the Klimek home and found Anton sick in bed. When his stomach was pumped, the food Klimek has eaten was found to contain arsenic. Tillie was arrested and confessed to the attempted murder of Anton Klimek. She was sentenced to life imprisonment, and the deaths of her other suspected victims were not investigated. Her sentence carried the stipulation that Klimek was never to be allowed to cook for other prison inmates.

      Marie Joséphine Philippine Davaillaud was called the “Queen of Poisoners” in France, although she was never convicted. Her first husband, a cousin, died of tuberculosis in 1927. Besnard married Léon Besnard the next year. The couple moved in with Léon’s parents, who both died separately within months. Léon’s sister, who shared in the inheritance, died soon after. Marie Besnard’s father also died during the period. Two boarders (a married couple) also died and left the Besnards their estate. Several other relatives who died named the Besnards as their heirs, including Marie’s mother. Both Besnards, by now very wealthy, took lovers into their home. Léon became suspicious that his wife was trying to kill him, and said so to his paramour. He died in 1947. Marie Besnard, who inherited all the accumulated wealth, was finally a suspect. Léon’s body tested positive for arsenic. Other bodies were exhumed, tested for arsenic poisoning, and Besnard was finally charged with 13 counts of murder. Her first trial in 1952 included eleven murders, but ended in a mistrial. The second trial in 1954 also was declared a mistrial. Besnard was acquitted during her third trial in 1961, and died in 1980.

      14 - Violette Nozière

      http://www.gazetteinfo.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/violette-noziere-3.jpg

      L’une des plus célèbres empoisonneuses des annales judiciaires françaises était bourguignonne. Accusée de parricide en 1934, elle sera réhabilitée trente ans plus tard.

      Bien étrange personnalité qu’était Violette Nozière. Depuis sa condamnation à la peine capitale en octobre 1934, bon nombre de chroniqueurs judiciaires, biographes, historiens et réalisateurs se sont penchés sur son cas, avec d’ailleurs plus ou moins de réussite. Pour tous néanmoins, une question demeure : qu’est-ce qui a bien pu pousser une jeune fille d’à peine 18 ans et visiblement inoffensive, à attenter à la vie de ses parents ?

      Pour justifier son crime elle tentera de charger son père, l’accusant d’incestes répétés. Jugée crédible par certains, les enquêteurs finiront par abandonner cette piste. Ont-ils fait fausse route ? Plus de quatre-vingts ans après les faits, le mystère reste encore bien épais.

      J’avais découvert cette histoire via le film Hic que je conseil.
      ▻http://www.humanite.fr/node/292362

      Sérieux comme un pape, le générique de ce Hic, sous-titré De crimes en crimes, nous apprend que l’histoire est tirée de faits réels. Le dossier remis à la presse le confirme, qui comporte une bibliographie incitant à lire les textes fondamentaux, en hongrois et en anglais, consacrés aux meurtres de Tiszazug. Faute de s’adonner à ce plaisir rare, peu de bibliothèques de quartier disposant d’un exemplaire de Tiszazug ; kisérlet a gyilkossagi ügyek tarsadalomtörténeti, on se contente du dit dossier qui résume en nous apprenant l’existence de Susanna Fazekas, empoisonneuse à gages qui « était sage-femme et sans doute un peu faiseuses d’anges. Elle buvait comme un homme à la taverne des hommes, ce qui contribua nettement à sa réputation d’asociale. Et surtout elle fut guérisseuse, exerçant ses multiples talents à soigner les animaux comme les hommes par les plantes. Jusqu’au moment où, passant d’un genre à l’autre, la bonne dame de Nagyrev, gros village de la région de Tiszazug, décida d’enrichir sa palette ». Cela se déroulait en 1912 et au-delà, la brave dame devait être de gauche car elle faisait payer au prorata des revenus du client (ou, plus simplement, elle tirait le maximum de chacun) et on lui prête au moins deux mille vies prématurément interrompues. Peut-être Raffarin pourrait-il mettre sur le dos du clone de Susanna Fazekas son imprévoyance du mois d’août. Cela arrangerait bien du monde.

    Climbing the income ladder

    ▻http://flowingdata.com/2013/07/22/climbing-the-income-ladder

    Via Nathan Yau de Flowing Data et repris par le NYT. Toujours très intéressant...

    In a study conducted by researchers at Harvard and UC Berkeley, data shows spatial variations for the chances of rising out of poverty into higher income brackets. The New York Times reports:

    Climbing the income ladder occurs less often in the Southeast and industrial Midwest, the data shows, with the odds notably low in Atlanta, Charlotte, Memphis, Raleigh, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Columbus. By contrast, some of the highest rates occur in the Northeast, Great Plains and West, including in New York, Boston, Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh, Seattle and large swaths of California and Minnesota.

    “Where you grow up matters,” said Nathaniel Hendren, a Harvard economist and one of the study’s authors. “There is tremendous variation across the U.S. in the extent to which kids can rise out of poverty.”

    Two things. First, the NYT piece is really nice. Graphics and interactives are typically shown separate from the written story, but NYT has been shifting as of late and I’m sure other publications will follow. (Although, as you can see in the credits, eight people made the graphics, and most places don’t have such resources yet.) The story is all tied together, so you read and interact in a continuous flow.

    Second, the Harvard/UC Berkeley research group released the data, so you can have a go yourself.

    Cosmétiques : Procter & Gamble délocalise à Singapour - tdg.ch
    ►http://www.tdg.ch/economie/entreprises/Procter--Gamble-delocalise-a-Singapour/story/21671995

    http://files.newsnetz.ch/story/2/1/6/21671995/1/topelement.jpg

    Le groupe américain de produits de grande consommation Procter & Gamble, en butte à l’érosion de ses bénéfices et de ses parts de marché, a annoncé vendredi qu’il allait installer le management de sa division beauté à Singapour afin de profiter de la croissance asiatique.

    L’équipe dirigeante de ses produits cosmétiques et soins de toilette quittera dans les deux ans, à compter du 1er août prochain, le siège de la firme à Cincinnati (est des Etats-Unis). « Ce déménagement concernera moins de 20 postes mais il placera ces activités au centre de la plus importante opportunité de croissance dans leur segment », indique un communiqué.

    Cette annonce intervient deux semaines après la publication des résultats de P&G pour le troisième trimestre de son exercice décalé au cours duquel le bénéfice net a diminué de 16%, à 2,41 milliards de dollars (2,23 milliards de francs).

    Le fabricant des couches Pampers, des piles Duracell, des shampooings Head & Shoulders ou des rasoirs Gillette a notamment imputé ce glissement à une répartition des ventes défavorable en termes de régions et de produits.

    Le directeur financier Jon Moeller a expliqué que le groupe essayait de redresser la barre entre autres « par l’expansion de notre portefeuille dans les pays émergents où la croissance est plus forte ».

    Sexting et suicides adolescents - Psychanalyse du suicide quotidien
    ►http://psychanalysesuicide.free.fr/?p=2275

    La semaine dernière, le suicide de Hope est devenu le deuxième clairement lié au sexting [envoi par téléphone ou mail de photos à caractère sexuel] et à la persécution qui peut s’ensuivre. À la fin de sa cinquième au printemps dernier, Hope a envoyé une photo de ses seins à un garçon pour qui elle avait le béguin et cette image a fait le tour de l’école. « Des tonnes de gens parlent de moi derrière mon dos et je déteste ça parce qu’ils me traitent de pute ! » a confié la jeune fille à son journal intime avant de se tuer. Jessie Logan, 18 ans, qui vivait près de Cincinnati, s’est pendue en juillet dernier après que des photos la montrant nue, qu’elle avait envoyées à son petit ami, avaient largement circulé auprès d’adolescents de sa connaissance. Comment expliquer cet enchaînement horrible débouchant sur une tragédie ? S’agit-il de brimades ordinaires, mais avec de nouveaux outils, ou d’une sorte de harcèlement très différente ? S’agit-il de cas isolés, ou bien le concert de protestations s
