George Soros in the news again
I mentioned George Soros in a blog post yesterday, and today I read about him in this curious story from Meduza, the Russian opposition newspaper.
Russia pulls 30% of library books in Ural city over Soros Foundation funding
About 30 percent of the books in Yekaterinburg’s libraries will have to be pulled from circulation because they were purchased with money from billionaire George Soros’s foundation, the director of the city’s municipal library network told the city council.
“The main bulk of the books were purchased in the 1990s. We are now facing changes in legislation. We have to remove some books from the collection because they were bought with Soros’s money. That’s about 30 percent of our entire acquisitions,” Irina Cheremisinova said, responding to a question from Yabloko member Konstantin Kiselev about library acquisitions.
She said libraries in other regions are facing the same problem, and that changes in legislation are the cause.
At the same session, acting Culture Department director for Yekaterinburg Elena Sokolova said the libraries are currently short of books and the budget lacks funds to replenish their collections, the Russian news outlet Vechernie Vedomosti reported.
The Soros Foundation operated in Russia from the late 1980s, working primarily through the nonprofits Open Society and Sodeistviye. It supported the development of educational programs, provided assistance to students and scholars, funded the construction of internet centers, and allocated money for printing books and textbooks.
The foundation wound down its active operations in Russia in 2003. In 2015, Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office declared it an “undesirable organization,” saying it was working to undermine Russia’s constitutional order.
An “undesirable organization”, huh, imagine that.
Benelli 250 DOHC

| Benelli 250 DOHC |
Ask Google about the Benelli 250 DOHC, it returns a bunch of Benelli motorcycles with 4 cylinder engines, which this clearly is not. But down at the bottom of the page, I found this old Cycle World article:
1939 Benelli 250
Third pick is a little obscure, but I like it because it gathered up a bunch of ideas, made them work well and glorified them with success. It’s the Benelli 250, which put together an aluminum dohc top end for cooler operation, cam drive by gears and (eventually) an oil cooler. It brought distinction to its makers and to engineer Giuseppe Benelli through the 1930s and ‘40s. When, after World War II, engineer Alfredo Drusiani suggested to Mondial that a “real” four-stroke would whip all the yapping 125cc two-strokes of the late 1940s, he was thinking of this Benelli. Subsequently, Mondial was 125cc World Champion in 1949, ‘50 and ‘51. When MV needed to up their 125′s performance, they bought a Mondial, and Soichiro Honda took one back to Japan for study. That’s quite a chain of creative disturbance for a little old 25-horsepower Benelli from the early 1930s.

Music Playlists
Whenever I post a music video I add it to an annual playlist. Here is a list of such lists:
- Pergelator 2026
- Pergelator 2025
- Pergelator 2024
- Pergelator 2023
- Pergelator 2022
- Pergelator 2021
- Pergelator 2020
- Pergelator 2019
- Pergelator 2018
- Pergelator 2017
- Pergelator 2016
- Pergelator 2015
- Pergelator 2014
- Pergelator 2013
- Pergelator 2012 A
- Pergelator 2012 B
- Pergelator 2011
- Pergelator 2010
I don't know why there are two for 2012. Gimme a break, it was 14 years ago. I tried checking to see if all the songs in the lists are also in the blog, but that exhausted my patience very quickly. Might be able to get AI to do it for me, but I'm not sure I want to get that involved.
I probably should put this list in the sidebar, but I haven't made any edits to this blog's layout in a coons age and I don't see me changing my ways any time soon.
There were also two playlists for 2013 but one had over 60 videos, and not all of them were music videos, so I changed the name.
