•Happy 20th Anniversary, Gmail. I’m Sorry I’m Leaving You. Accused: An American intelligence case officer was arrested in Seattle and charged with attempted espionage, in what appears to be a high-profile mole hunt by F.B.I. investigators intent on uncovering Chinese spying. |
| The officer, Ron Rockwell Hansen, 58, is a fluent Mandarin speaker who first visited China in 1981. He has allegedly received at least $800,000 in “funds originating from China” since May 2013. |
| Among the items that U.S. agents found in Mr. Hansen’s luggage over the years: documents listing locations of U.S. Cyber Command outposts and a thumb drive hidden in the toe of a shoe. |
Emperor Hadrian gave orders to build his mausoleum in 135 AD on the model of the funerary monument of the first emperor of Rome, Octavian Augustus.
The construction has spanned almost twentieth centuries and will celebrate its nineteen hundred years of history in 2035.
The Hadrian mole, as it was called at the time of ancient Rome, was a privileged witness to the history of this extraordinary city and thanks to its structure and strategic position it did not suffer the fate of ancient monuments, but was integrated from time to time into the daily life in Rome, adapting to the needs of the city.

董成瑜//約翰. 勒卡雷（John le Carre)的粉絲有福了。他2020年去世後，家族把資料檔案全捐給他的母校牛津大學，共1200箱，最近這批資料首次在牛津大學圖書館公開展覽。時間：2025.10.1~2026.4.6
* 首次公開展示勒卡雷的私人檔案，包括手稿草稿、修改筆記、角色素描和水彩畫。例如：
* 早期角色喬治·史邁利（George Smiley）的草稿描述。
* 1953年牛津大學時期的素描《Oxforder Gesichter》（牛津面孔）。
* 與名人通信，如演員亞歷克·吉尼斯（Alec Guinness）關於飾演史邁利的信件。
* 強調勒卡雷的「研究精神」：他像人類學家一樣進行實地調查，訪談記者、情報人員和吹哨者，以確保小說的真實性。展覽涵蓋9部小說，探討冷戰後的全球議題，如戰爭、腐敗和製藥業不道德行為。
* 視覺元素豐富：手繪插圖、場景草圖，以及他如何將真實事件轉化為虛構故事。
* 展覽主題：將勒卡雷定位為「作家而非間諜」，展現他對真實世界問題的關注和細膩創作工藝（tradecraft，原指間諜技巧，此處雙關他的寫作技巧）。
* 相關活動：附有書籍《Tradecraft: Writers on John le Carré》，包含其子尼克·哈卡韋（Nick Harkaway）的文章。展覽模擬托爾金展覽的成功模式，適合粉絲和初學者。
這場展覽被媒體譽為「對勒卡雷粉絲的無盡黃金塵埃」，提供獨特視角，揭示他如何從間諜經歷轉化為文學作品。//
Tradecraft is a general term for the specialized techniques, methods, and skills used to accomplish tasks in a specific profession or skilled trade, most often associated with espionage and intelligence operations but also applied to fields like computer security. In espionage, tradecraft covers a wide range of activities, from creating disguises and planting tracking devices to casing a location, conducting surveillance, and using clandestine communication methods.
