Notable news
U.S. reporter Gershkovich gets 16-year sentence in Russia
 * U.S. investigative journalist Evan Gershkovich, jailed in March 2023 on espionage charges, on July 19 received a sentence of 16 years in prison after a closed-door proceeding in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Prosecutors failed to present any evidence to back up the charge in the court proceeding, which began June 26. His employer, the Wall Street Journal, termed the conviction a "sham," and said efforts were planned to obtain Gershkovich's release in a prisoner exchange. But observers said a swap would depend on a pardon by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

February music
Thank you for pointing at Seiji Ozawa! I thanked him, and have the story of Helga Paris today, a photographer of houses and faces. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Gerda. -- Sca (talk) 19:08, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Rossini's Petite messe solennelle was premiered on 14 March 1864, - when I listen to the desolate Agnus Dei I think of Vami. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I uploaded vacation pics (from back home), at least the first day, - and remember Aribert Reimann. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Or did you mean precocious?   ;-) -- Sca (talk) 12:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Or perhaps precarious? -- Sca (talk) 13:59, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
