Loaded Firearm Found, Three Arrested
West Point, CA — Three people were arrested near West Point after trying to flee from Calaveras County Sheriff’s Deputies.
Calaveras County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to catch up with a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on Rail Road Flat Road to conduct an enforcement stop.
The vehicle stopped near the 4500 block of Rail Road Flat Road and all occupants ran into the brush.
A perimeter was established in the area and three subjects were detained; 34 year old Axiel Negron, 18 year old Ernest Cuellar, and 29 year old Rouchelya Malave, all from Sacramento.
During an investigation, and with the assistance of witnesses in the area, a firearm was located nearby that was linked to the incident. No further description of the firearm is available due to the pending nature of the case.
All three subjects were arrested on various charges including resisting arrest, concealing evidence, conspiracy to commit a crime, and carrying a concealed and loaded firearm in a public place.
Additionally, Negron was charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Cuellar was charged for fleeing in a motor vehicle from a peace officer, and Malave was charged with the possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
No injuries to the deputies or subjects were reported.


H3231 passed the South Carolina House of Representatives today due to the hard work of ABATE of South Carolina as well as every motorcyclist who took the time to contact their legislators to voice their support for this important bill.
The bill amends the Code of South Carolina to prohibit the Department of Transportation from discriminating against motorcycles, motorcycle operators, or motorcycle passengers. One way it does this is by prohibiting motorcycles from being denied access to highways, bridges or transportation facilities that are maintained or have been constructed with public funds. Under this bill, cities, counties and towns will have to make reasonable accommodations for motorcycle parking in lots and garages that were built or are maintained in whole or in part with public funds.
The bill now heads to the Senate. You can read the full bill below:
"Section 57-1-90. (A) In formulating transportation policy, promulgating regulations, allocating funds, and planning, designing, constructing, equipping, operating and maintaining transportation facilities, no action of the South Carolina Transportation Commission, or the South Carolina Department of Transportation shall have the effect of discriminating against motorcycles, motorcycle operators, or motorcycle passengers. No regulation or action of the commission, or department shall have the effect of enacting a prohibition or imposing a requirement that applies only to motorcycles or motorcyclists, and the principal purpose of which is to restrict or inhibit access or motorcycles and motorcyclists to any highway, bridge, tunnel, or other transportation facility.
(B) The allocation of parking space square footage specifically in transportation facilities, and other projects undertaken or operated by a political subdivision of this State where state or local source funds have been used in whole or in part to plan, design, construct, equip, operate, or maintain the facility must make reasonable accommodations for motorcycle parking. In carrying forward this requirement, among other options, the facility at its discretion may comply by sectioning portions of the area where the size configuration of the space does not meet code requirements for full-size vehicles."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

NY Politics Full Of Corruption
Corruption in politics is certainly nothing new; take for example Senator William Blount who, in 1797 was expelled from the Senate for aiding the British in an attempted takeover of Florida. Politicians have been using their influence for both personal and political gain since governments first came into being.
There are some governments however that has become almost famous for their levels of corruption. The city of Chicago, Illinois had a political body that became notorious during the 20th century for their involvement with organized crime. It was a well known joke that members of the Chicago police force made more money every year from bribes and pay offs than they did from their city salaries.
Unfortunately politics at both the federal and the local levels has not changed much. The only thing that is changing is where the corruption is currently being exposed. The spotlight these days is in New York, where several top officials have been indicted or are currently making their way through the legal system. The corruption has become so widespread that Ney York Governor Andrew Cuomo created an anti-corruption panel to investigate the rampant corruption running through the states politics. Governor Cuomo is now taking shots from government watchdog groups who say his administration is interfering with the committees work.
Being a constituent of New York politics cannot be easy, but as everyone knows already it takes strength to be a New Yorker to begin with. The current crop of corruption scandals seem to stem almost exclusively from greed; the recent charges of corruption during the mayoral race involve large sums of cash being paid to essentially allow a state senator to switch political party’s so he would have a better chance of winning the race. Waivers were needed, bribes were offered, and hands were outstretched to receive the money needed to look the other way.
Fortunately for us all there are people who are willing to stand up and fight for what is right. Voters can be encouraged by the fact that there are watchdogs out there that are looking for and standing up to corrupt governments and their officials. When examining the history of our nation a person will see corrupt officials willing to take advantage of a situation, and also see those who fight for what is right bringing them to justice.
For America to break through this cycle of corruption more everyday Americans need to become involved in their local and federal politics. Politics used to be something a person did for a few years and then returned to their “normal” life. It has now become a career, one which I may add that does not require a person to retire at a certain age as with other jobs. Only by voting can the citizens of the United States forcibly retire those which they deem to be incompetent, corrupt, useless, and downright harmful to their country. Only by donating a few years of their time for their country will Americans see politics change, for they will be voting into office their neighbors not someone who spends every waking moment in Washington D.C.


At the beginning of March I went on a second date. The first was just an hour-long drink, sandwiched between the back-to-back fashion weeks that, twice a year, take over a fashion editor’s schedule. The second was a late lunch and afternoon in the pub. As we parted ways, my date leant in for a kiss. I swerved his mouth and went for a hug instead. Partly because I wasn’t really interested and partly because headlines about the coronavirus outbreak were getting increasingly scary — swapping saliva seemed an unnecessary risk to take for someone I didn’t fancy the pants off.
Might I have snogged him had I known what was coming? Maybe, although probably not. But the surprise chastity belt that is a three-month

When it comes to gardening in the Northeast, you can expect a diverse range of seasonal changes and weather conditions. From the vibrant autumn tree colors to the spectacular bursts of summertime blooms, and the deeply cold days of winter, the Northeast region offers a unique gardening experience. To ensure your garden thrives in this area, it’s important to choose plants that are well-adapted to the climate and make necessary preparations. In this article, we’ll provide you with some helpful tips and plant recommendations for gardening in the Northeast.
Understanding the Northeast Growing Zone
The Northeast region of the United States encompasses states like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and parts of Maryland and Delaware. The USDA Hardiness Zone for this area typically ranges from Zone 3 in the northernmost parts to Zone 7 in the southernmost regions. It’s crucial to consider this zone information when selecting plants for your garden, as it indicates the plants’ ability to withstand the local climate and winter temperatures.
Northeast Landscapes for Inspiration
Before starting your own garden, it can be inspiring to take a look at other gardeners’ spaces in the Northeast. By observing well-designed gardens in your region, you can gather ideas and insights that will help you create a beautiful and thriving garden of your own. There are numerous Northeast landscapes worth exploring, and they can serve as a great source of motivation. Consider visiting local botanical gardens, attending garden tours, or browsing online resources for inspiration.
Deer-Resistant Plants for the Northeast
Dealing with deer can be a common challenge for gardeners in the Northeast. To protect your plants, it’s a good idea to choose deer-resistant varieties. Some popular deer-resistant plants for the Northeast include:
- Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) : Known for its heart-shaped pink or white flowers, this perennial adds a touch of elegance to shaded areas.
- Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) : With its aromatic foliage and beautiful lavender-blue flowers, Russian Sage is a drought-tolerant and deer-resistant option.
- Lambs Ear (Stachys byzantina) : This low-growing perennial features soft, fuzzy leaves that are resistant to deer browsing.
- Siberian Iris (Iris sibirica) : These striking flowers come in a variety of colors and are known for their resilience against deer.
Seasonal Lawn-Care Schedule
Maintaining a healthy lawn in the Northeast requires proper care throughout the year. Here’s a general lawn-care schedule to follow:
- Spring : Start by removing any debris and thatch, then aerate the lawn to improve water and nutrient absorption. Apply a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
- Summer : Mow the grass to a suitable height, typically around 2 to 3 inches. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth and withstand drought conditions.
- Fall : Continue regular mowing and gradually reduce the height to prepare for winter. Apply a high-phosphorus fertilizer to promote root development.
- Winter : Keep the lawn clear of debris and avoid excessive foot traffic to prevent damage. Consider overseeding with a cool-season grass for better winter hardiness.
Native Plants of the Northeast
Using native plants in your garden is not only beneficial for the local ecosystem but also provides a natural beauty that blends seamlessly into the environment. Here are some native plants of the Northeast that are well-suited for gardens in this region:
- Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) : This small tree features beautiful pink flowers in early spring and is well-adapted to the Northeast climate.
- Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) : A charming perennial with golden-yellow petals and a dark brown center, the Black-Eyed Susan thrives in sunny locations.
- New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) : This late-blooming perennial showcases vibrant purple flowers and attracts pollinators to your garden.
- Eastern Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) : With its unique red and yellow flowers, this native perennial is a favorite among hummingbirds.
Gardening Tips for August in the Northeast
August is a crucial month for garden maintenance in the Northeast. Here are some tips to keep in mind during this time:
5 Must-Grow Perennial Vegetables: Harvest Year After Year… 👩🌾
- Watering : Ensure that plants receive adequate water, especially during hot and dry periods.
- Weeding : Regularly remove weeds to prevent them from competing with your plants for nutrients and water.
- Deadheading : Remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance.
- Harvesting : Enjoy the fruits of your labor by harvesting ripe vegetables, herbs, and fruits from your garden.
- Planning : Start planning for fall by considering planting cool-season crops and ordering bulbs for spring bloom.
Gardening in the Northeast offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace the unique climate and seasonal changes of the region. By choosing plants that are well-adapted to the Northeast growing zone, considering deer-resistant varieties, and incorporating native plants, you can create a beautiful and thriving garden. Remember to follow a seasonal lawn-care schedule and implement maintenance tasks specific to each month, such as watering, weeding, deadheading, and planning for future seasons. With these tips and plant recommendations, you’ll be well-equipped to create a stunning garden that flourishes in the Northeast. Happy gardening!

text: Experience sampling method (ESM) studies have found an association between daily stress and paranoid symptoms, but it is uncertain whether these findings generalize to physiological indicators of stress. Moreover, the temporality of the association and its moderating factors require further research. Here, we investigate whether physiological and self-rated daily stress predict subsequent paranoid symptoms and analyze the role of emotion regulation as a putative moderator. We applied ESM during 24 h to repeatedly assess heart rate, self-rated stress, and subclinical paranoia in a sample of 67 psychosis-prone individuals as measured with Community Assessment for Psychotic Experiences (CAPE). Adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation was assessed at baseline with the Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire (ERSQ-ES) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Linear mixed models were used to analyze the data. Heart rate (b = 0.004, p < 0.05) and self-rated stress (b = 0.238, p < 0.001) predicted subsequent paranoia. The reverse effect, paranoia as a predictor of subsequent heart rate (b = 0.230, p = 0.615) or self-rated stress (b = –0.009, p = 0.751) was non-significant. Maladaptive emotion regulation was a significant predictor of paranoia (b = 0.740, p < 0.01) and moderated the path from self-rated stress to paranoia (b = 0.188, p < 0.05) but not the path from heart rate to paranoia (b = 0.005, p = 0.09). Our findings suggest a one-way temporal link between daily stress and paranoia and highlight the importance of emotion regulation as a vulnerability factor relevant to this process.

This is my 40th year in the NHS and I’ve spent more than 33 years as a midwife and lecturer. I now work half the year in a clinical post and the other six months as an adviser for BBC 1’s Call the Midwife. I love the diversity of the roles, each requiring absolute commitment and professionalism. The midwifery and medical accuracy of the stories in the programme rest to some extent upon my shoulders, but I’m part of a skilled production team.
When I started my career in the mid-70s, I was taught by senior ward sisters and tutors who qualified in the late 50s and early 60s, the era when Call the Midwife is set. Their clinical skills and attitudes shaped my early career and their exacting standards made a significant impression on my practice. Those colleagues have retired but they are still reliable sources of information. Midwives and doctors have been very generous in sharing their knowledge and expertise, and they are keen for us to portray cases as authentically as possible.
I was asked by one midwife how we managed to get labouring women to agree to be filmed giving birth. Of course, some of the simulated births on Call the Midwife are better than others. But if some of the births have been realistic enough to trick professionals into thinking we were showing real births, we are doing well.
Midwifery lecturers have suggested that their students watch clips of Call the Midwife to see examples of a breech birth or good communication with a labouring mother. When filming any medical storyline, all aspects of the case will have been researched using material such as the latest text books and medical archives. As far as is possible, the cases are accurately portrayed. This might require the application of individual chicken pox spots by the make-up department, or showing an actress how to use a Pinard (fetal stethoscope).
Both parents and professionals now have information at their fingertips. The era in which the programme is set was a time when women had little access to information.
Ante-natal classes were offered to expectant and new mothers in a school-like environment. The health professional was considered to know best and pregnant women would meekly comply – very different from the partnership between a woman and her midwife today. It seems strange now, but mothers were expected to stay in bed at home or to stay in hospital for at least a week after their baby was born.
Giving birth is a natural process. Most women are now better educated about birth; they know what to expect and what they want. Technology allows us to carefully monitor the condition of mother and baby much more accurately throughout pregnancy and labour so mothers and midwives have fewer surprises. Even the baby’s gender is usually known before it arrives.
The writers and the production team do their utmost to ensure accuracy within each story. The medical or pregnancy story lines are not over-dramatised but shown as accurately as possible while portraying the effects on the whole family and the professionals. The progression of a disease or a birth cannot be shown in real time. So the sequences of events are shortened by interweaving and editing with other plotlines. This allows the programme to show life and birth at the right pace for 1960, and to give plausible portrayals of social and medical history.
Around the time we were filming the second series of CTM, I attended a midwifery conference and was accosted by a midwifery admissions tutor who told me in mock accusation that I was making her life extremely difficult; her midwifery course had 16 places, and that year she had almost 1,000 applicants. She lay the blame squarely at the door of the programme, saying it had caused a surge in applications to study midwifery.
Call the Midwife has provided people with an opportunity to think about the midwifery as a profession and an increase in applications will only add to the already high quality of people wanting to become a midwife. The programme has clearly raised the public awareness of the diversity and significance of role of the midwife.
While television can sometimes paint a slightly misleading picture of any career, it can also help give a flavour of what the job entails. A drama that focuses on midwifery has certainly encouraged people to think about this profession as a career option and demonstrates some of its rewards and challenges.

WWE superstars have often professed their admiration for their Indian fans, which comes as little surprise considering WWE holds an immense fanbase in India. Throughout the years, several Indian wrestlers have made it big inside the WWE ring with the likes of The Great Khali, Jinder Mahal, and the current WWE roster also holds a handful of young Indian talents in Kavita Devi, Rinku Singh, The Singh Brothers, and Saurav Gujjar. However, WWE stars gave Indian fans a priceless moment when they decided to don Indian attire during their visit to the country last year. Here are the WWE superstars including Charlotte Flair and Jinder Mahal, who proudly presented themselves in Indian culture.
Charlotte Flair ‘The Queen’ sported a purple saree and the WWE Women’s World champion looked extremely happy in the Indian attire. Apart from Charlotte Flair, The New Day members Big E and Kofi Kingston also sported a traditional pathani suit, which further echoed with the Indian fans. Former World Champion Matt Hardy donned South Indian attire during his visit to India, while Sasha Banks ‘The Boss’ donned a multicoloured saree. Indian WWE champion Jinder Mahal also provided some excitement for his home fans by presenting the Indian culture in one of the best ways possible
Charlotte Flair was seen learning Bollywood dance steps with actor Varun Dhawan teaching her some iconic Indian dance moves. Meanwhile, The New Day took turns and experienced what it feels like to travel in an autorickshaw in India. Here's a glimpse of Charlotte Flair and Varun Dhawan grooving to some Indian music.

Modeling the Effects of Developmental Variation on Insect Phenology
- 201 Downloads
Phenology, the timing of developmental events such as oviposition or pupation, is highly dependent on temperature; since insects are ectotherms, the time it takes them to complete a life stage (development time) depends on the temperatures they experience. This dependence varies within and between populations due to variation among individuals that is fixed within a life stage (giving rise to what we call persistent variation) and variation from random effects within a life stage (giving rise to what we call random variation). It is important to understand how both types of variation affect phenology if we are to predict the effects of climate change on insect populations.
We present three nested phenology models incorporating increasing levels of variation. First, we derive an advection equation to describe the temperature-dependent development of a population with no variation in development time. This model is extended to incorporate persistent variation by introducing a developmental phenotype that varies within a population, yielding a phenotype-dependent advection equation. This is further extended by including a diffusion term describing random variation in a phenotype-dependent Fokker–Planck development equation. These models are also novel because they are formulated in terms of development time rather than developmental rate; development time can be measured directly in the laboratory, whereas developmental rate is calculated by transforming laboratory data. We fit the phenology models to development time data for mountain pine beetles (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins [Coleoptera: Scolytidae]) held at constant temperatures in laboratory experiments. The nested models are parameterized using a maximum likelihood approach. The results of the parameterization show that the phenotype-dependent advection model provides the best fit to laboratory data, suggesting that MPB phenology may be adequately described in terms of persistent variation alone. MPB phenology is simulated using phloem temperatures and attack time distributions measured in central Idaho. The resulting emergence time distributions compare favorably to field observations.

Fairfax, Virginia - Working at the National Firearms Museum translates into a good deal of "hands on" firearms work. You pick up donations, bring the guns back to the firearms lab, refurbish what needs refurbishing as best you can, and search for an appropriate location to put them on display. Above we see Senior Curator Doug Wicklund finding an appropriate place for a 1911 in the Museum's "100 Years of the Model 1911" exhibit.
In his hand you see a 1911 used by Canadian native J.C. Hume-Storer during his two years of service in French trenches during World War I before joining the Royal Flying Corps.
"Each of the firearms on this wall have a story," said Wicklund. "That's true for most of the guns we have here at the National Firearms Museum and finding those stories is a fascinating aspect of our work here."
Hume-Storer's 1911 is staying put, but a collection of other 1911s, including five from the original trials as well as one ordered by Admiral Willis August Lee, a Navy Cross recipient and five-time gold medalist shooter at the 1920 Olympic Games, will be on display at Camp Perry during the first week of the National Rifle and Pistol Championships.
"I'd love to accompany these beautiful pieces Perry, but there's so much work to be done here at the Museum," lamented Wicklund. "That pleasure will have to wait for another day."

I know an Italian store selling vintage French work jackets sourced from Bangkok. The circuitous voyage these clothes make before finding their way back to Europe made me wonder about the green credentials of vintage clothing more generally.
We’re told that buying vintage clothing is more sustainable, but is this actually true?
The brand Romeo Gigli can still be found on sale here and there. But what about the man who The Los Angeles Times once claimed had single-handedly changed the course of fashion?
He had a far-reaching influence on both men’s and womenswear throughout the ’80s and ’90s. And then, at the peak of his success, he just vanished.
What happened to Romeo Gigli?
There are an increasing number of innovative textiles being made from recycled post-consumer waste. But can garments made from such fabrics be legitimately classified as sustainable clothing?
If the need for more ethical and sustainable menswear is no longer dismissed by the mainstream, it’s thanks to decades of campaigning by the alternative fringes of society.
For this we should be grateful. But now it’s time they move over.

- History of slavery in Kentucky
The history of slavery in
Kentuckydates from the earliest permanent European settlements in the state until the end of the Civil War. Although Kentucky was generally classified as the Upper Southor a Border state, [ [http://www.virginiaplaces.org/agriculture/tobaccostaple.html Tobacco and Staple Agriculture ] ] rather than the Deep South, enslaved African Americans made up a substantial percentage of the population. Early Kentucky history was built on the labor of slavery, and it was an integral part of the state. From 1790 to 1860 the slave population of Kentucky was never more than one quarter of the total population, with lower percentages after 1830 as planters sold slaves to the Deep South. Slave populations were greatest in the central "bluegrass" region of the state, which was rich in farmland. In 1850, 23 percent of Kentucky's white males held enslaved African Americans.
Early travelers to Kentucky in the 1750s and 1760s brought their slaves with them. As permanent settlers started arriving in the late 1770s, they held slaves in the station-based settlements, organized around forts. Settlers, chiefly migrants from Virginia, continued to rely on slave labor as they established more permanent farms.
Planters who grew
hempand tobaccomade the greatest use of slave labor, as these were labor-intensive crops. Subsistence farming could be done without slave labor. Some owners also used enslaved African Americans in mining and manufacturing operations.
Farms in Kentucky tended to be smaller than the plantations of the Deep South, so ownership of large numbers of slaves was uncommon. Many slaves had to find spouses on a neighboring farm, and often fathers did not get to live with their wives and families.
Kentucky exported more slaves than did most states. From 1850 to 1860, 16 percent of enslaved African Americans were sold out of state. Many African Americans were sold directly to plantations in the Deep South, or transported by traders along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to slave markets in New Orleans. The sales were the result of reduced labor needs due to changes in local agriculture, as well as substantial out-migration by white families from Kentucky. In the 1840s and 1850s, white families migrated west to Missouri and Tennessee, even southwest to Texas. The larger slaveholding families took slaves with them on forced migration to Tennessee and Missouri. These factors combined to create greater instability for enslaved families in Kentucky than in some of the Deep South states.
Because of Kentucky's proximity to free states, separated by just the Ohio River, it was relatively easier for a slave from Kentucky to escape to freedom. Notable
fugitive slaves from Kentucky included Henry Bibb, Lewis Clarke, Margaret Garner, Lewis Hayden, and Josiah Henson. A mass escape attempt occurred in August 1848 when 55 to 75 armed slaves fled from several counties, representing one of the largest coordinated escape attempts in American history. They were captured by the state militiaseveral days later after a shootout.
The abolition movement had existed in the state since at least the 1790s, when
Presbyterianminister David Riceunsuccessfully lobbied to include slavery prohibition in each of the state's first two constitutions, created in 1792 and 1799. Baptist ministers David Barrowand Carter Tarrant formed the Kentucky Abolition Societyin 1808. By 1822 it began publishing one of America's first anti-slavery periodicals.
Conservative emancipation, which argued for gradually freeing the slaves and assisting them in a return to Africa, gained substantial support in the state from the 1820s onward.
Cassius Marcellus Claywas a vocal advocate of this position. His newspaper was shut down by mob action in 1845. The anti-slavery " Louisville Examiner" was published successfully from 1847 to 1849.
In Kentucky, slavery was not so widely considered an economic necessity as it was in most other
slave states. The small-farm nature of Kentucky meant that slave labor was not so critical to profits as it was for the labor-intensive crops of the Deep South, such as cotton, sugar, and rice farming.
Controversial laws in 1815 and 1833 limited the importation of slaves into Kentucky, which created the strictest rules of any slave states. The "Nonimportation Act of 1833" banned any importation of slaves for commercial or personal purpose. The ban was widely violated, especially in counties near the Tennessee border. In 1849 the writing of the state's pro-slavery constitution meant repeal of the ban against importing.
Slavery was the principal issue of the third constitutional convention held in 1849. While the convention was convened by anti-slavery advocates who hoped to amend the constitution to prohibit slavery, they greatly underestimated pro-slavery support. The convention became packed with pro-slavery delegates, who drafted what some historians consider the most pro-slavery constitution in United States history.
After the embarrassing defeat, abolitionists lost political power during the 1850s. Nonetheless, anti-slavery newspapers were still published in Louisville and Newport. More than half the residents of Louisville owned slaves, and the city had the largest slave population in the state. The trading city had grown rapidly and had 70,000 residents by 1860. [ [http://books.google.com/books?id=ikRimuUJ0bcC&pg=PA14&lpg=PA14&dq=louisville+%22not+southern%22&sour Slavery in the Cities: The South, 1820-1860] ]
John Gregg Feeestablished a network of abolitionist schools, communities and churches in Eastern Kentucky. In the turmoil following John Brown's raid, Fee and his supporters were driven from the state by a mob in 1859.
Kentucky did not outlaw slavery during the Civil War, as other
border statesdid. Nevertheless, about 75% of slaves in Kentucky were freed or escaped to Union lines during the war. Slavery finally ended with ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. However, Kentucky would not ratify it until 1976.

Former Kaduna federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has shared his thoughts on the failed $460 million Abuja Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) project.
Naija News recalls that the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) had in a statement made available to this online publication disclosed that the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the government of outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari to account for the spending of $460 million Chinese loan used to fund the project.
The court also ordered the government to “publish the total amount of money paid to Chinese and local companies and contractors and specific details of the names of the companies and contractors and status of the implementation of the project.”
According to a report by Punch, the CCTV contract was awarded to a Chinese firm in 2010 by the Goodluck Jonathan administration after then Minister of Finance Olusegun Aganga led a delegation to sign a Memorandum of Understanding in Beijing, China.
The project was to be funded from a $600 million financing portfolio secured as a soft credit loan. The loan had interest repayable in 10 years, after an initial ten years of grace.
However, the project failed to materialize and insecurity, which the CCTV project was meant to address, has worsened over the years.
Reacting to the situation via a post on Twitter, Sani described it as a monumental fraud and wondered the reason why no one has being investigated or apprehended.
He wrote, “Abuja CCTV project is a $460m monumental fraud;No cameras,no money and no one is apprehended or investigated.”

Pamela Gough's 'Take Me There' Exhibition at Graydon Gallery
Fri 12 Jul 2013 - Sun 21 Jul 2013
When I think of Brisbane, the first thing that comes to mind is 'the friendly, easy going little city by the river'. I think of its hot, humid summer days and warm evening sunsets. I think of those so-called 'cold' winters and of those tropical storms, which have everyone carrying an umbrella, even when the sun is shining. I picture its suburbs, with many a street lined with typical Queenslander homes, spanning out from the river into the hills and plains. When I really think about it, it's a pretty special city. And one lady who knows how to relay the beauty of our little Brisbane is contemporary Visual Artist Pamela Gough
I was lucky enough to attend the opening night of Pam's latest exhibition 'Take Me There' at the Graydon Gallery
located in the heart of New Farm at 29 Merthyr Road. It is only a short walk from the charming little shops and restaurants of New Farm Village. Big old trees, with roots that push up the footpath, line the narrow road to the gallery, which is a beautifully renovated old Queenslander. Inside you will find a spacious, well-laid out and modern interior with timber floors and clean white walls, with the art serving as a visual treat.
The gallery couldn't be a better pick for the exhibition, particularly in terms of location, as most of Pam's work encapsulates a mystical snapshot of Brisbane. 'Take Me There' will quite literally take you to unexpected places 'on the map and imagined, of the heart and the mind and back home again'. It is all about using 'line, texture, colour and historical illustration' to relay a 'strong sense of spirit', particularly in relation to place. And the exhibit doesn't just feature Brisbane; there are a few pieces featuring Melbourne and other locations from Pam's travels. Your also in luck because although Pam does sell originals, she also sells prints, greeting cards etc (the whole kit and caboodle).
Walking around the gallery I had to do at least three laps to absorb the depth of each painting. Her paintings are filled with so much texture and colour that every time I looked at her each piece I saw something different. Her work features iconic Australian images, such as corrugated roofs, gumtrees, and beaches, mixed in with a bit of magic and creativity created by artistic representations of maps, city plans and ancient symbols. It is this little bit of magic that allows Pam's art to 'scratch at the surface of life' so that the viewer can 'search for authenticity and soul' within the narrative upon the canvas.
Her work ignited that feeling I get whenever I come home from a big trip overseas, that sense of belonging, that feeling of Brisbane, of Australia, being home. And that is definitely an authentic feeling that holds a place within my heart and soul. You too could find a bit of authenticity and soul, if you let yourself be taken there. But you'll have to get in quick, as the exhibition closes on Sunday 21st July, with the gallery being open daily from 10am – 6pm (or by appointment). Or if you can't make it, Pamela has another exhibition coming to the Art Factory Gallery in South Brisbane from Friday 14 September until Wed 26 September. Be sure to keep in touch via her Facebook page

This girl is active and sweet; she loves to run and play. We’ve seen her jump pretty high, and she is definitely an athlete, so she’ll likely do best with a yard with at least a five-foot-high fence. Her happy, friendly playfulness will make her a perfect match for an active family.

Clinton's Plea to Ukraine -- Be Patient
1995-05-13 04:00:00 PDT Kiev -- President Clinton concluded a five-day visit to Russia and Ukraine yesterday by urging Ukrainians to be patient during their country's painful economic transformation.
Addressing a crowd at Shevchenko University, Clinton endorsed the harsh economic measures taken by President Leonid Kuchma to win $4 billion in Western aid. "I commend you for taking the hard road, for putting the needs of your future and your nation above immediate personal concerns," Clinton said. "You and your children will reap the harvest of sacrifice."
The average wage in Ukraine is just $30 a month, and inflation has run as high as 70 percent a month in the past year. The government recently announced a program of natural gas rationing.
Before leaving Kiev, Clinton also stopped briefly at a memorial to the victims of Babi Yar, the haunted ravine on the city's outskirts where 100,000 Jews were killed by the Nazis.
"In the quiet of this place, the victims of Babi Yar cry out to us still," Clinton said. "Never forget, they tell us, that humanity is capable of the worst, just as it is capable of the best."

Ahead of his scheduled August 6. professional boxing return against the undefeated, Jake Paul, former reality tv star, Tommy Fury has confirmed that he has been denied entry to the United States by immigration officials, ahead of a slated press conference on Wednesday in New York City.
Fury, the younger brother of reigning WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury – also saw his elder sibling denied boarding on two separate flights from Manchester and Liverpool to the United States over the course of the last week, amid links with reputed cartel boss and drugs baron, Daniel Kinahan.
Attempting to secure two separate flights to the United States in recent weeks, Tyson Fury was denied travel by immigration officials, amid his links with the aforenoted, Kinahan, who the United States Office of the Treasury placed a reward of up to $5,000,000 on back in April. Kinahan, a native of Dublin has been previously named as the leading operator of the transnational drugs and weapon cartel, KOCG (Kinahan Organized Crime Group).
Tommy Fury confirms he has been denied entry to the United States
Expected to appear at a high-profile press conference alongside Ohio native, Paul on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden ahead of an August professional boxing match, Tommy Fury confirmed on his official Instagram that he was denied entry to the United States by immigration officials.
“Me and my team arrived at Heathrow Airport ready to fly out and as soon as I entered the airport I was pulled to one side and told by a Homeland Security Officer that my ESTA had been denied and that I wasn’t able to travel to the USA for a reason that I apparently know,” Tommy Fury said in a video on his Instagram Stories.
“I can stand here and say I have done nothing wrong and I have no clue why I’m not allowed to travel to the USA,” Tommy Fury said. “I’ve been training for a fight this whole time and that’s all I’ve been doing. I have no clue why I’m not allowed to travel and neither does my team or my lawyers.”
“Now I’ve got to go to the embassy trying to resolve it and I’m in the middle of training,” Tommy Fury continued. “I don’t know why this has happened, a huge shock to me and my team. It’s government issues and it’s a lot bigger than this fight right now and I’m trying to get it sorted.” (Transcribed by Irish Mirror)
Fury’s father, John Fury, who is also banned from entering the United States, confirmed last week in a video that his son, Tyson Fury, as well as other members of the team were denied entry to the United States and were suspended from entering the country for an unknown period of time.
“You (Jake Paul) can have it on the sixth of August but it’s got to be not in America because all of us (sic), I’ll be honest with you, are suspended and banned for life, I can’t get to you at all, Tyson can’t get to you because he’s a got a few issues at the moment so Tommy’s got no team.”

Power supplies are one of the most critical components inside your computer. A junky PSU can make your computer crash and may not have enough stable power so support all your fancy hardware. OCZ has announced a new PSU under its Fatal1ty brand that is modular and has 750W of power.
The 750W PSU supports SLI multiple GPU configurations. For added bling, the PSU has red LEDs inside for a nice glow when in use and is cooled by a 135mm double ball bearing fan. The device is also 80-Plus Bronze certified with up to 85% efficiency.
The coolest feature of the new PSU is that it uses modular cabling. The only connectors that are hard wired into the PSU design are the ones for the motherboard and CPU power common to different computers. The other cables are modular and only have to be used if you need them. OCZ includes four 6+2 pin PCI-E cables, six peripheral cables, two floppy cables, and six SATA cables.


Despite two people at THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS testing positive for coronavirus, production of the soap is continuing uninterrupted. According to Deadline, an E-mail was sent to production crew stating that “production had received two new positive test results for COVID-19 on Nov. 1, 2020, and the individuals have begun self-isolation.”
In addition, affected areas of the production will be deep cleaned and disinfected and contact tracing has ensured that anyone in close contact with the infected individuals has been made aware of the situation. Naturally, Y&R is taking steps to respect the privacy of all affected workers.
Thankfully, the positive COVID tests did not affect the soap’s ability to continue filming scenes as scheduled this week. After shutting down temporarily in March, Y&R resumed production in July and began airing new episodes again in August. Thanks to the implementation of special safety protocols, productions like Y&R are able to split team members into zones so that even if someone contracts the coronavirus, the show can still continue taping.
It’s good to hear that soaps like Y&R are able to adjust to this new normal and continue producing all-new episodes of daytime drama for the fans against all odds. And hopefully, one day in the future this won’t even be an issue anymore.

Last but not least: final eight champions crowned at Valvoline Runoffs
LEXINGTON, Ohio (Sept. 21, 2003) -- Collin Jackson finished first in the Grand Touring 3 race just as the western sun was starting its descent toward the horizon Sunday in middle Ohio.
The checkered flag flew as Jackson whizzed by, signaling the end of the 24th race and the end of the 40th SCCA National Championship Valvoline Runoffs at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
In a week that saw appearances from almost 700 racers, thousands of fans and a Friday morning visit from Tropical Storm Isabel, 24 champions were crowned in recognition for their achievements, along with several other awards that were handed out Sunday evening at the awards banquet.
Among the awards handed out was the President's Cup, the Runoffs' most prestigious award, given to the driver who best demonstrates ability, competitiveness and success. The 2003 edition was awarded to first-time Formula Atlantic champion Rennie Clayton, of San Francisco, Calif., who had to rebuild his car with a lot of borrowed parts after crashing his car during qualifying earlier in the week.
Also recognized was 16-year-old Lauren Gurney, of Albuquerque, N.M., who earned Mechanic of the Year honors and Barney Powers, of Lebanon, Ohio, a member of the Cincinnati Region, was honored with the Richland County Sportmanship Award.
On the track, two drivers did what only three others had done before them since 2001. Rennie Clayton and American Sedan champion John Heinricy, of Holly, Mich., both completed the third and final leg of the Chicago Region Triple Crown, which is awarded to competitors who are able to win the Kohler/Chicago Region June Sprints, a home-division point championship and the Valvoline Runoffs. They joined 2001 winners Formula Vee driver Brad Stout, of St. Louis, Mo., and Touring 2 competitor Brian Kelm, of Plymouth, Mich., and 2001 winner, Grand Touring 3 racer Mike Cyphert, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

Influential rock band Failure has confirmed via the band’s Facebook that the band will play a reunion show at the El Ray in Los Angeles on February 13, 2014.
In an interview with Spin magazine frontman Ken Andrews talks about the reasons for the reunion, the possibility of new music, past music and more. When asked about if new music would come out of the reunion show Ken said:
“I don’t really know. At this point, the only for-sure plan is this show at the El Rey. I have a feeling it’s gonna turn into more than that. We haven’t finished anything yet, but we have a few recordings that show that we have something left to say musically.”
It will definitely be interesting to see what comes of this as they have certainly not been running low on inspiration. Since the breakup the members have taken part in numerous side projects. Ken Andrews became a solo artist and notable producer, credited with bands such as A Perfect Circle, Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World, and Tenacious D. Greg Edwards went on to perform in the Shoegazing outfit Autolux. Troy Van Leeuwen went on to perform with A Perfect Circle and Queens of the Stone Age. Although He did not stay with the former long enough to take part in their rendition of Failure’s “The Nurse Who Loved Me.” The Bands last original album was 1996’s hit Fantastic Planet.

The sounds of the night engulfing the thoughts that plague my mind. How can such a night be of such disarray when all the world seemed to be at peace at this very moment.
The lake reflected the night sky and amidst the passing ripples I could see the reflection even upon the dark waters. I could hardly remember how many nights I spent here. How the days seemed to merge into one because of the gentle caress of nature brushing against my soul. It was indeed peaceful.
Even with everything seeming serene I do manage to grab the gaze of those golden-brown eyes, hazel, shimmering back the moon’s light. I would spend time outlining the features of my face, who was that man staring back at me? How much has he changed? It would dawn on me that I never really took the time to appreciate it admire who I was it am. We effortlessly critique and point out our imperfections but there were these moments I just am amazed.
I moved my hands out and watched the reflection in the water. I could feel as if who I was seeing was a different person. I could feel the urge to want to grab a rock and throw it at the image. I felt mocked in a way. My senses came to me and I would find myself smiling. Seeing my smile actually made my smile grow bigger.
The whole action was more than what an average bystander would actually consider as narcissistic or concieted. It was more so actually acknowledging who I am. Finding that I too can love myself and reflect not only what I’ve done but who I am. I think we all forget to do that from time to time and yet, it is worth it in the end of the end. That is why I do it sometimes, just go to the park, walk upon that wooden bridge and just stop at the edge, look down at the water and see beyond the reflection.

Bioslurry as a fuel. 5. Fuel properties evolution and aging during bioslurry storage
MetadataShow full item record
This study investigates the evolution of fuel properties and aging of a series of bioslurry fuels prepared from fast pyrolysis bio-oil and biochar at different biochar loading levels (up to 20 wt %) for a storage period of 29 days. The results demonstrate that, at room temperature, the storage of bioslurry results in a reduction in the acidity [total acid number (TAN)], a reduction in the viscosity, and an increase in the water content of the bio-oil phase. In comparison to the blank bio-oil samples, the presence of biochar leads to more severe changes in the fuel properties of bioslurry. After 29 days of storage, the bioslurry fuels are still acidic. An increase in the biochar loading level further decreases the TAN and viscosity of bio-oil phases and increases the water content of bio-oil phases. The storage of bioslurry also results in undesired redistribution of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species between the biochar and bio-oil phase in bioslurry, via the leaching of these inorganic species from the biochar into the acidic bio-oil by two-step kinetics.

A US envoy has expressed concern about Serbian interest in Russian air defense systems, warning Belgrade to be “careful and cautious” about buying them, in comments to North Macedonia television.
“We do of course have concerns not just about deployment of Russian military equipment on the territory of Serbia, but the possibility of Serbia acquiring significant Russian military systems,” US special envoy Matthew Palmer told the Elsat television channel, in an interview that aired late Friday.
Palmer was referring to the deployment last week of a Russian S-400 missile system and a Pantsir anti-aircraft gun and missile system to Serbia for the Slavic Shield-2019 defence exercises.
It was the first time the two weapons systems had taken part in military drills outside Russia, according to the Russian defense ministry.
They have been used in Syria and Turkey has purchased the S-400 system despite strong opposition from NATO partners.
The two weapons provide a multi-layered air defense network considered by many to be among the best in the world.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said his country would like to acquire the weapons, but that “the only way would be if Russia left them with us. Otherwise we do not have the means to procure them.”
Palmer, US special representative for the Western Balkans, told the Elsat: “We hope our Serbian partners will be careful and cautious about any such transactions.”
US military ties with Serbia were more significant than Russia-Serbian relations, he argued.
“We have a strong military partnership with Serbia, I think in fact, arguably Serbia’s best military partner is the United States.
“We think it is more significant than anything the Russians do with Belgrade,” the US envoy added.
Serbia nonetheless has historically close ties with Russia, which has provided backing over the delicate question of Kosovo, a former Serb province, and which shares a common Orthodox Christian faith.
Moscow was not pleased when Montenegro, which like Serbia is a former Yugoslav republic, joined NATO in 2017, and is keen to maintain influence in the region.

and the Waltz King
In 1898, the waltz kingJohann Strauss IIwas approaching his 74th birthday without having composed a ballet score. This seemed wrong to his admirers and one of them, Rudolf Lothar, conceived the idea of holding a contest for a scenario. With the composers consent, a jury was chosen to judge entries. It consisted of Eduard Hanslick, the feared music and dance critic; Gustav Mahler, the controversial conductor and composer who at the time also directed the Vienna Court Opera (including its ballet company); maecenas Nikolaus Dumba; Strauss himself; and Lothar, who was editor of the influential magazine Die Wage (The Weighing Scales), in the 5 March 1898 issue in which the contest was announced.
About 700 entries had been received by the deadline in May 1898. The winning text was a contemporary telling of the Cinderella (Aschenbrödel) story, submitted by one A. Kollmann from Salzburg. This personage did not appear in person to collect the prize money, but sent his lawyer instead. Vienna, indeed all Austria Hungary, suspected that Kollman was a pseudonym and the rumor circulated that the real author was one of the grand dukes of Emperor Franz Josefs court.
Strauss, although he didnt particularly care for the scenario, set about composing the score. In the late autumn of 1898 he had finished a piano version, which was given its salon premiere at a musical soiree in his house. The pianist was a young star of the concert stage, Toni Wolff (wife of Carl Colbert, whose Society for Industrial Graphics would become the scores publisher).
Lack of a scenario wasnt the principal reason why Strauss hadnt written a ballet score before. In those days, only a handful of composers worked on ballet music. It was almost as if thered been a closed-shop union for that purpose. Several of these composers were musicians in orchestras that accompanied ballet performances or were even ballet conductors. Such a situation was common during the latter 19th century and not only in Vienna. The exceptions were ballet scenes in operas and operettas, the music for which was usually (but not always) by the composer of the rest of the work. Strauss tended to use waltzes he had already composed for his operettas. For his only opera, Ritter Pasman (Knight Pasman), he composed new ballet music which Hanslick, in his review, had praised more than the vocal portions. At the last turn of the century, Viennas leading ballet composers were Josef Bayer, Josef Hellmesberger II and Franz Skofitz.
At gatherings during the winter of 1898/99, Strauss himself sometimes played excerpts from the Cinderella piano score, and he began orchestrating the music. He had almost finished Act 1, and made sketches for some additional portions when he died of pneumonia on 3 June 1899. His biographer (and author of the libretto for his Gipsy Baron), Ignatz Schnitzer, speculates that on a visit to Russia, Strauss may have been the Ballet of the Imperial Maryinsky Theater in St. Petersburg dance its version of Cinderella with music by Ludwig Minkus, and that Strauss must have met Minkus. The latter conjecture is likely because Minkus had been born in Vienna and had begun his musical career there. Also, Strauss knew Minkuss brother, a Viennese bank director. However, the 1893 Maryinsky Cinderella (with choreography by Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov and Enrico Cecchetti) had music by Baron Schell; possibly Minkus conducted it. Cinderella ballets were not rare and Strauss, who toured widely, might have seen one of them. His own, however, seems to have been the only "modern" version.
Following Strausss death, it was hoped that another musician would complete the orchestration. Colbert approached operetta conductor Karl Millöcker first, but he was ill and died later in 1899. It was Bayer who accepted the assignment. Meanwhile, in 1900, a copy of the piano score was submitted to Mahler for future production at the Vienna Opera. Mahlers appraisal of the score was negative; he even doubted that it had been composed by Strauss. Although he conceded that point when shown the original manuscript, he still didnt care for the music. Reportedly, Mahlers response was that he just didnt like any and all ballet. That probably wasnt the case, even if he said so. It was known that Mahler was eager to obtain, from St. Petersburg, Tchaikovskys The Sleeping Beauty for Vienna. Also, in Vienna, he supported the ideas of his principal designer, Alfred Roller, and dancer Grete Wiesenthal to reform ballet. The official reason Mahler gave for rejecting Cinderella was his budget: a full production as envisioned in the scenario would have been extremely expensive.
In 1901, Berlins Royal Opera heard of the Strauss score and asked Wolff-Colbert to come and play it on the piano. The directors and their choreographer, Emil Graeb, liked the music but not the prize-winning scenario. Probably at Herr Colberts suggestion, the Viennese ballet scenario writer, Henrich Regel, was asked to do a revision. Berlin also rejected the idea of making the production art nouveau because the Kaiser, who was eager to see the ballet, had taken a dislike to that new style.
The stage premiere of Strausss Cinderella was on 2 May 1901 with Regels revised but still contemporary story, Bayers orchestration and Graebs choreography. Schnitzer, who attended, commented that it lacked "Viennas light touch" and was "too puritanical," partly because ballet skirts were replaced by flowing gownswhich some of the press found revolutionary. Schnitzer also had reservations about Bayers orchestration, though he thought the orchestra and dancers competent. Karl Muck conducted the premiere and Antonietta dellEra (the first Sugarplum Fairy in The Nutcracker) headed the cast. Supposedly she took the Cinderella role, although the ballets classical ballerina (at least in Vienna) was not supposed to become involved in the narrative and appeared only in a divertissement of flowers meant as keepsakes. The production was "munificent" and a hit.
Mahler left the Vienna Opera at the end of 1907, and the new director, conductor Felix Weingartner, was made aware of the score. He not only accepted it for his first season, but conducted the premiere himself on 4 October 1908 using Bayers orchestration and adjustments for Regels revised scenario. The choreography was credited to Berlins Emil Graeb and the Vienna Operas balletmaster, Josef Hassreiter. Supposedly, Hassreiter based his staging on Graebs written notes. According to some sources the fourth scene (Act 3, Scene 2) was all-Hassreiter. With the participation of Bayer, Regel, Hassreiter and scenery designer Anton Brioschi, this was a typical Vienna ballet-team event.
The action takes place in a department store, The Four Seasons. The leading characters are Gustav, owner of the store, and Franz, his younger brother and rival for the love of Grete (Cinderella), who works in the womens fashions department. Gretes stepmother, Mme. Leontine, is the departments supervisor. She has, of course, two daughters who lord it over Grete and dont seem to work though they are often in the store. Another key character, Piccolo, Gustavs valet, is a travesty role. As mentioned, the ballerina (the part is referred to as "Floral") appears only in the ballroom (Act 2) for the floral divertissement.
Typically, the printed program for Cinderella lists all the dances. From this inventory one gets an inkling how Viennese ballets at the time differed from those of St. Petersburg, which we know at least a little. There are four dances in Act 1. The first, called Franzs Self-portrait, introduces the ballets junior male lead (probably demicaractere) to the female cast of characters and to the audience. In this solo, Franz (Ferdinand Rathner) proclaims who he is and what he does. One of the things he masters is driving an automobiledancemiming this topic seems very Leonide Massine. The stepsisters (danced by real sisters, Lydia and Olga Berger) have a Promenade Adventure and Piccolo (Luise Wopalenski) does a Love Letter Delivery to Grete (Marie Kohler) who, with her trained birds, dances the Waltz of the Doves.
Apparently there are no ensemble dances in Act 1, though there are several in Act 2, at the party thrown by Gustav. First comes the Marveilleusen Quadrille for Franz and the female corps. A pas de trois, Masked Game, is for the stepsisters and Gustav (Karl Godlewski, one of Hassreiters deputy choreographers). Grete dances a solo named the Blue Domino after the costume she wears (probably as covering as she arrives at the party). The Confections Waltz (which may have something to do with the refreshments being served) features nine female soloists and the female corps; this is followed by a Salon Quadrille for four couples, a mazurka for the stepsisters, and Gretes big solo: the Cinderella Waltz. The ballerina (Cäcilie Cerri, Viennas last Italian prima, was "Flora") enters in a Welcome with Flowers, which leads into the biggest dance number, the Flowertorch Polonaise with "Flora," Grete, thirteen female soloists, Gustav, four male soloists, the adult female corps and the group of female students.
An Amoretten polka is the first dance in Act 3, followed by the Bridaltreasure Waltz for Grete, a female soloist (?), Piccolo, Gustav, and the female students. The next dance, Old Vienna Porcelain, for Piccolo plus four solo women and four solo men, may represent a wedding present, and the final Jewels Waltz for Piccolo, nine female soloists and the female corps, is perhaps, the setting for the bridegrooms gift to his bride. There is no male corps in the ballet, although male soloists dont seem in short supply. All told, there appears to be an attempt to attain something new based on traditional models; would the term "neoconventionalism" be apt?
Ashenbrödel remained in the repertory for seven years, into 1914 (when World War I began). It earned forty-six performances, plus an additional one for the Vienna Operahouses 50th anniversary season, 1919/1920. Schnitzer liked the Vienna production more than the Berlin. It was, though, as Mahler had predicted, very costly.
For a number of years, the Strauss/Bayer score was neglected. In 1975, it accompanied a version on Austrian television entitled The Rose Red Prince and in 1979, due to the efforts of Peter Kemp of Londons Johann Strauss Society, Britains Manchester-based Northern Ballet Theatre staged it in Robert de Warrens choreography wit Sui Kan Chiang as Grete and Ross Stretton as Gustav. Early this year (1998), Alicia Alonsos Ballet Nacional de Cuba brought a version with Pedro Consuegra choreography to New York. The Cubans cleansed the story of its updating and set it again as a fairytale. Was this because Fidel Castro is even more retrograde than Kaiser Wilhelm II?
Richard Bonynges 1980 recording with the National Philharmonic on London (LDR 72005) credits Strauss principally, Bayers "musical arrangement" plus Douglas Gamley who "revised and edited." Despite moments, the score sounds choppy (due perhaps to Regels reworking of the scenario) and the orchestration strained (Perhaps because Bayer tried too hard not to deviate from what Strauss had started). Bayers own Fairy Doll (Die Puppenfee) of 1888 is more gemütlich and piquant.

EPA Investigates Electronics Recycling Fraud
After complaints that EarthEcycle LLC, an Oklahoma electronics recycling company, violated agreements with various charities to properly recycle the hazardous electronics, the Environmental Protection Agency has filed a complaint and opened an investigation, according to the Post-Gazette.
Instead of properly recycling the electronics, EarthEcycle packed them into ocean-going containers and exported them to Korea and Hong Kong, alleges Basel Action Network (BAN), a group committed to curbing contamination from improperly disposed hazardous electronics.
EarthEcycle had entered into an agreement with the Pennsylvania Humane Society, which conducted an electronics recycling drive, under which EarthEcycle would contribute $10,000 for every 100,000 pounds of electronics collected. EarthEcycle has conducted similar programs with other charities. BAN has called them “fake recycling events.”
EPA’s administrative order charges EarthEcycle with the following:
- failure to make a hazardous determination
- failure to prepare a hazardous waste manifest
- unauthorized export of hazardous waste
- failure to provide notice of the regional [EPA] administrator of an intent to export cathode ray tubes for reuse
- failure to package the electronics
- failure to label and failure to mark them.
EarthEcycle’s owner, Jeff Nixon, has denied any wrongdoing.
