Standing in the centre is Apollo, complete with his lyre and laurel wreaths, used to crown those who became accomplished thanks to the Muses. Wikimedia Commons.Īnton Raphael Mengs’ Parnassus is a highly-finished sketch for the fresco shown below, which he painted in about 1760. It was later removed from the instrument, the upper right added, and was put on display above a door. The explanation for this lies in it having originally been the painted panel cover of a spinet. Lavinia Fontana’s Apollo and the Muses (1598-1600) is unusual for setting the Parnassian motif at night, as an al fresco music concert complete with Pegasus and (at the top left) a flying nude. Lavinia Fontana (1552–1614), Apollo and the Muses (1598-1600), oil on panel, 67 × 94 cm, location not known.

Raphael (1483–1520), Parnassus (detail) (c 1509-11), fresco, 670 x 770 cm, Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzo Vaticano, The Vatican City. Surrounding him are the full set of nine Muses, who are mostly not identifiable as individuals. At its centre is the god Apollo, who is bowing a string instrument and looking upward for inspiration. Parnassus is probably the last completed of Raphael’s three great frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura of the Vatican Palace, by 1511 according to an inscription below the window. Raphael (1483–1520), Parnassus (c 1509-11), fresco, 670 x 770 cm, Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzo Vaticano, The Vatican City. At the far left is Apollo making music for the Muses on his lyre. At the right is Mercury, messenger of the gods, with his caduceus and Pegasus the winged horse. To the left of Mars’ feet is Venus’ child Cupid who is aiming his blowpipe at Vulcan’s genitals, as he works at his forge in the cave at the left. The lovers are shown standing together on a flat-topped rock arch, as the Muses dance below. This refers to the classical myth of the affair between Mars and Venus, the latter being married to Vulcan, who caught them in bed together and cast a fine net around them for the other gods to come and mock their adultery.

Melpomene is the muse of tragedy, and usually has the mask characteristic of the genre. Euterpe is the Muse of music and lyric poetry, so plays a flute-like aulos. Erato is the Muse of love poetry, and holds or plays a cithara, a type of lyre. ![]() Clio (Kleio) is the Muse of history, and shown with scrolls or books. Occasionally they are reduced in number, most usually to three, and have a long history of appearing in visual art.Ĭalliope (Kalliope) is the Muse of epic poetry, and is shown with a stylus and tablet or a lyre. Generally accepted as being nine in number, they are most usually named Kleio, Euterpe, Thaleia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania, and Kalliope. Their origin is doubted by sources other than Hesiod, though: some claim their parents were Ouranos and Gaia, for instance. The Muses (Greek Μοῦσαι Mousai) are the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus over a succession of nine nights which he spent with their mother. ![]() How to Send Text Messages from PC to Cell Phone with the Best Tool?Īs recommended above, you can freely send text messages from computer to mobile phones with the best 3rd-party tool - Coolmuster Android Assistant.

You Can’t Get a Refund for a Returned Package Learn more about the most common USPS tracking statuses. We suppose Postal Service figured a “Return to Sender” tracking status was tough enough on the sender, rather than making you pay twice! Therefore, you’ll only be out for the cost of the original shipping label, and not for the journey back. Regarding returned packages, the good news is that USPS won’t charge you for sending them back to you. USPS Won’t Charge You Double for a Package They Send Back to You Pro Tip: Some returned packages may be subject to even longer delays, depending on what’s going on in the world…for example, the Coronavirus pandemic and the resulting large amount of delayed shipments when it first emerged. If you paid for Retail Ground/Parcel Select Ground, on the other hand, then it will take longer for the package to come back to you, since delivery for this service typically ranges from 1-2 weeks. Therefore, this is how long it might take for the package to come back to you, in most cases. Dead mail is matter deposited in the mail that is undeliverable and cannot be returned to the sender. For example, if you paid for Priority Mail service, then delivery typically occurs anywhere from 1-4 business days. Unclaimed franked mail from a Member of Congress is returned to the origin Post Office (if known) or the Washington, DC, Post Office. When we say the time a package takes to come back to you depends on the service you pay for, we’re talking about the service you paid for when you first bought the original label.

Microsoft Remote Desktop, therefore, requires administrators to keep on top of security updates, and employ further security measures such as a business VPN, for the use of Remote Desktop to be considered. RDP compromises were the single biggest attack vector for ransomware in 2020. In 2012, 2018, and 2019, particularly critical vulnerabilities were found in the software and subsequently patched. Its ubiquity makes it a prime target for hackers looking for poorly secured RDP servers. Remote Desktop, in one form or another, has been included on most Windows desktops and servers for over 20 years, and has seen countless tweaks and revisions to bring it to its current version. Users can also enable Network Level Authentication, which means the remote user must authenticate themselves before a Remote Desktop session is started.

This vulnerability affects all modern Windows systems running RDP, and users are advised to ensure they have installed the latest security updates from Microsoft that fix the flaw. January also saw the discovery of a security flaw in Remote Desktop Protocol. The user interface was updated to make it easier to switch between remote PCs and apps, and support was added for Scroll Lock and Num Lock keys. In January 2022, the Remote Desktop app for Android got a significant update. Microsoft Remote Desktop: What’s new in 2022?

They then drive out the crime syndicate, and Cobb vows to continue protecting the town. Soon enough, the Tusken Raiders come and free Cobb from the Red Key members. While held captive, Cobb is revealed to have once been a slave, having slave markings on his back. However, Red Key members capture the town before the krayt dragon can be killed, reducing Cobb's arsenal to such an extent that he is no longer able to try to kill it. The Tusken Raiders agree, due to the town being in a sacred location and having a Hutt, and themselves being promised the pearl from inside a krayt dragon. In Empire's End (2017), Cobb and Malakili continue to work together to create a deal with the Tusken Raiders to keep the town protected. ![]() Meeting Malakili, the former beastmaster for Jabba, framed for killing a group of Red Key Raiders, Cobb agrees to accompany Malakili – and the infant heir of Jabba he is protecting – Borgo – back to Mos Pelgo (also known as Freetown) to start a different life. ![]() Life Debt (2016) reveals that Cobb has since become the sheriff of the town Mos Pelgo after liberating it from the Red Key Raiders' mining collective, continuing to wear the Mandalorian armor and take a stand against the Red Key Raiders' forces. Cobb orders the injured Adwin to tell the rest of the Red Key Raiders to cease their operations or he will come for them, then leaves with the armor. After examining the wreckage of Jabba's barge, recovered from a Sarlacc recently eaten by a krayt dragon, the pair come across some Mandalorian armor, both pulling blasters upon the other in seeking to acquire it, with Cobb shooting Adwin. Cobb Vanth, present on the Jawas' vehicle, presents himself as someone willing to help Adwin find purchases for the collective, as Cobb has a rapport with the creatures. In Aftermath (2015), Adwin Charu, a representative for the Red Key Raiders crime syndicate that sprouts up on Tatooine after the death of Jabba the Hutt, meets with a group of Jawas for some mining equipment, as the syndicate wants to work under the guise of being a mining company, yet cannot come to any agreement with the Jawas. On Tatooine, various mining syndicates take advantage of the decreased Imperial presence and vacuum left by the death of Jabba the Hutt to take control over several settlements from which they demand tribute Cobb Vanth, a former slave-turned-lawman, decides to take a stand against them. Beginning immediately after the events depicted in Return of the Jedi and concluding one year later with the Battle of Jakku, the Rebel Alliance, now known as the New Republic, fights the remnants of the Galactic Empire, as they consolidate behind Gallius Rax and Rae Sloane in two separate factions Rax seeking to become the new Emperor, and Sloane seeking to form a more peaceful " first order". In addition to Cobb, the trilogy introduced several notable characters, including Norra and Snap Wexley. The Aftermath trilogy was written by Chuck Wendig between 20. He is portrayed by Timothy Olyphant, who reprised the role in spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett, where Cobb faces off against the Pyke Syndicate and their representative, Cad Bane. The character reappears in the second season of the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian, set years after the events of the Aftermath trilogy and depicting Cobb joining forces with the Tuskens and the series' title character to finally defeat the krayt dragon. Throughout the trilogy, Cobb faces off against the Red Key Raiders mining collective, the Tusken Raiders, and a krayt dragon, and while successful in defeating the former is unable to find the latter. Introduced in the 2015–2017 Chuck Wendig novel trilogy Aftermath, he is a former slave who has used the Mandalorian armor of Boba Fett to bring order to Tatooine "Freetown" Mos Pelgo in the five years after the events of the 1983 film Return of the Jedi.
