There have long been songs in which women turn the tables on despicable men who have acted shamefully Think Peggy Lee and how scathing she was in “Why Don’t You Do Right?” deadly in “You’re Blasé”…But now think again Perhaps men in the past escaped too lightly Singer-songwriter-actress Siret Tuula notes with some satisfaction that “every man who has entered my life has ended up as a song.” “To Mr.X” (Lazy Cat Records) is her highly impressive debut album with a stunningly good band And since Tuula is from Tallinn in Estonia a mere seven and a half degrees South of the Arctic Circle there are songs here (not all of them) in which revenge is served up genuinely Siret Tuula’s unashamedly combative spirit also shines through from what I have read of her biography Not only does she have a degree in the law she has an impressive set of skills to fight back and also undertaken “challenges in icy waters.” Joking aside a great combination of vocal and dramatic presence and the capacity to portray a whole range of different moods extremely vividly – (maybe that owes something to her previous role as TV a weather presenter…) I’m hearing that there was a real buzz at the completely packed-out album launch a couple of days ago and I’m looking forward to linking to the video of that when we get it Eevalotta Matikainen and Martin Söderbacka we find anger and resentment stirring slightly below the surface “(I never) Fall out of You” is a playful song about a relationship with a celebrity who has decided unilaterally to retreat The music is upbeat in a charming slightly vacuous way as if it’s the theme for a TV game show but the words are from a different place altogether: a deeply despairing “I fall apart…” “Your Best Friend Got Your Girl” is the classic Tristan and Iseult myth here seen through the eyes of a triumphant and upbeat Iseult even innocently as a verse with guitar colla voce (the very fine Karl Madis Pennar) but that is a cleverly disguised diversion from what is on its way Tuula sets off on a succession of hard-swinging victory laps in full knowledge of precisely where her feelings of triumph are going to inflict the most damage She lands precisely aimed blows on her ex with these words: “Dancing close to him This album has other sides too; all is certainly not dark with Nordic døm and gløm sybaritic duet with fellow singer Kristjan Ilumäe to the accompaniment of a relay race of jazz soloists in quick succession The album notes say it’s about “a spontaneous decision to leave the party with someone charming “Only Man in my Life” has a twist at the end Could this finally be the bliss of connubial commitment not exactly… We are left to discover from the very last sounds on the album that the true recipient of her affection is in fact…a contented pooch Musical standards throughout are just fabulous and the album has been very well produced in Los Angeles by Paul Grundman Special praise is certainly due to the main pianist His contribution to the wonderfully slow-burning song “Irony” is just stellar One might have a slight cavil: maybe a native English English-speaker could have ironed out some occasional infelicities in the language There is absolutely no mistaking Tuula’s authenticity and clarity of expression I genuinely hope that I have the chance one day to witness this singer and her great band performing Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a43a1370d17d95eda2d2cb3592f2b4dd" );document.getElementById("c08a1a06c7").setAttribute( "id" and website in this browser for the next time I comment Please check your inbox (and also your spam or junk folder We kindly request to oblige by fair use rules when quoting or sharing our content All original content is copyrighted unless credited otherwise but does take on work as a paid publicist and/or sell advertising packages Where a piece published after 26th October 2012 appears which is linked to this activity the content will be clearly sign-posted with the PP symbol Receive our weekly email newsletter with Jazz updates from London and beyond If you’ve been on our list all along Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Reader question: We occasionally rent out our house in France when we are away but will we need a siret number to do this Although you do not state if this is your main or a second home and whether or not you are a resident of France it may make little difference According to official French sources any furnished holiday rental of a home you own whether main or secondary requires you to register for a business siret number.  which does not usually require you to pay business social cotisations Read more: Many gite owners in France forced into complex and costly tax regime This was in the past not generally enforced in any event for those undertaking a minimum amount of non-professional letting However the rules have tightened in recent years If it is a second home you should also declare letting a meublé de tourisme (furnished holiday let) to the mairie A few cities also require this with a main home In some communes you will be given a registration number that should be quoted in any adverts The siret registration process can be undertaken online Family members argue the money was actually a gift Understanding the criteria and their durations for non-residents You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed Too many automated requests from this network July 29, 2008JPEG The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image of flooding along the Siret River in eastern Romania on July 29 the flood-swollen river is light blue in this false-color image as seen in the pre-flood scene shown on the right Both images were created with a combination of infrared and visible light to increase the contrast between water and the surrounding landscape NASA images courtesy the MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC View this area in EO Explorer Heavy rain falling in the Carpathian Mountains pushed rivers in Ukraine and Moldova over their banks on July 27-28 springtime flooding continued to threaten communities along the Danube as April rolled into May Heavy rains and melting snow pushed the river and many of its tributaries over their banks in early April A series of rainstorms pushed rivers in southern Great Britain to flood stage in February 2014 Whether you need to pay your taxes or apply for social security read on for more on tax identification numbers (TIN) and other IDs in France By Una Dimitrijevic you must apply for a national registration number as soon as possible Additionally, if you plan to work and pay taxes in France you’ll also need a tax ID (TIN) and maybe a business ID you’ll find all the steps to understand and apply for the relevant ID numbers in France: If you’re planning to move to France for a while these are the main ID numbers that you will need: The national registration number acts as your social security number while in France.

AWS recently launched Amazon Macie a fully managed service that uses machine learning and pattern matching to help you detect and better protect your sensitive data stored in the AWS Cloud Many data breaches are not the result of malicious activity from unauthorized users but rather from mistakes made by authorized users To monitor and manage the security of sensitive data we show you how to use custom data identifiers with Macie to identify sensitive data you can start designing security controls that operate at scale to monitor and remediate risk automatically Custom data identifiers can be used to highlight organizational proprietary data imagine you’re an IT administrator for a manufacturing company that’s headquartered in France Your company has acquired a few additional local subsidiaries including an R&D facility in São Paulo and in the process is classifying registration information and product data into encrypted and non-encrypted storage You want to identify sensitive data for the following three scenarios: Figure 2: Brazil CPF and prototype number dataset To use custom data identifiers to identify your organization’s sensitive information The following steps introduce you to the Custom Data Identifier resource in Macie follow the instructions below to create the custom data identifiers After entering the settings and before selecting Submit you should test your custom data identifier with sample data to confirm that it works your console will look like what is shown in Figure 4 Figure 4: SIRET-NIC custom data identifier creation Use the Evaluate section on the right-hand panel of the Macie console to confirm that the regex pattern and other configurations for your custom data identifier are correct Follow the steps below to use the Evaluate section Congrats on creating your first custom data identifier Now use the same steps to create and test custom data identifiers for the Brazil CPF and prototyping naming convention scenarios The Brazil CPF number usually shows up in the format of 000.000.000-00 Use the following values for the Brazil CPF scenario Figure 6: Brazil CPF custom data identifier Assume that your company has a very strict and regular naming scheme for prototype part numbers You want to identify objects in S3 that contain references to private prototype parts and so if we’re not careful it will cause Macie to flag objects that do not actually contain one of our prototype numbers We suggest adding \b at the beginning and the end of the regular expression The \b symbol means a “word boundary” and word boundaries are basically whitespace or other things that are not letters and numbers you limit the pattern so that you only match if the entire word matches the pattern but STEP-AB123456 and P-XY123 will not match the pattern This gives you finer grained control and reduces false positives Use the following values for the prototyping name scenario Figure 7: Prototyping naming custom data identifier You should now see a page like the following figure and Prototyping Naming custom data identifiers are successfully configured Figure 8: Successfully configured custom data identifier we have to create a bucket with some test data that we can scan We’ve provided some sample data files that you can download Follow these instructions to create a test bucket and load our test data into the test bucket We created a bucket called bucketformacieuse; you have to choose another name because this one is already taken by us Now you can create a job to scan your Amazon S3 bucket to detect and locate the data patterns defined in the SIRET-NIC and Prototyping Naming custom data identifiers Figure 9: Select your custom data identifiers You now have a job in Macie to scan the Amazon S3 buckets you’ve chosen using the 3 custom data identifiers you created. More information about creating jobs is available in Running sensitive data discovery jobs in Amazon Macie Macie will help you be secure when you’re effectively responding to the findings that it produces we’ll show you how to review your findings manually or see a collective summary of all findings Figure 11: Findings detail page for the Brazil CPF custom data identifiers Figure 12: Findings page for the French company file Now that you’ve used Macie and the Custom Data Identifiers resource to obtain these findings you can identify what data to place in encrypted storage and what can be placed in non-encrypted storage when migrating to AWS Macie and custom data identifiers provide an automated tool to help you enhance protection of your sensitive data by providing you the information to help detect and classify your data in the AWS Cloud Custom Data Identifiers help you tell Macie what to look for As you move more and more data to the cloud you’ll need to make new identifiers and new rules As your rules and identifiers grow you will need to create automation that responds to things that are found perhaps a lambda function turns on encryption in a bucket when it finds sensitive data in that bucket Or perhaps a function automatically applies tags to buckets where sensitive data is found and those buckets and their owners start to appear on reports for audit and compliance think about how you will automate responses at larger scale If you have feedback about this post, submit comments in the Comments section below.

ReligionUnplugged.com “Some of them need to find their relatives Others need Romanian road tax for their cars or phone sim cards and there are even two persons that recently crossed the border from Ukraine and offered to help us translate.” Lupu is part of the bigger relief initiative set up by the Romanian Orthodox Church through its regional branch Along with local nonprofits and private initiatives the Orthodox Church is at the front line of the response to the Ukrainian crisis having established a base at the Siret border crossing from the first day of the conflict Dozens of meters

offered because we understand that now we are in a different country,” she said Thank you for that.” She was offered accommodation at Acoperamantul Maicii Domnului hermitage Masechko felt a heavy heart for not staying to help her country “I didn't go to the east — I only volunteered one night So I felt like I should do something and help as I can I understood that I cannot be productive if I

for installing a Romanian phone SIM card Masechko made a plan to volunteer at the hermitage and make the transition easier for the mothers and children hosted there She organized a playing group for

calls,” said Father Gherasim we received people.” Usually only a few people visit the hermitage run by only three monks who also continue to perform daily prayers the small hermitage has hosted more than 100 refugees The families hosted at the Acoperamantul Maicii Domnului hermitage pray together with the local monks before having lunch “There is a Ukrainian lady which we are hosting who helps us
