# Nevsky Pickwickians

The Nevsky Pickwickians was an informal circle of art-loving and intellectual friends who were students at the University of St. Petersburg, Russia at the end of the 19th century. The group originally included Alexandre Benois (effectively its leader), Léon Bakst, Walter Nouvel, Dmitry Filosofov and Konstantin Somov.
In 1890, Filosofov introduced his cousin Serge Diaghilev to the group. Although at first the older members considered Diaghilev to be provincial, he quickly learned from the other members (especially Benois), and eventually displayed his innate talent for organization and administration.
In 1898, members of The Nevsky Pickwickians founded the journal Mir iskusstva (World of Art) with financial backing of Princess Maria Tenisheva and Savva Mamontov.
Diaghilev went on to become the impresario of the Ballets Russes which gave its first performances in Paris in 1909. Over the course of the next twenty years (until Diaghilev's death in 1929), the company continued as one of the period's most influential performing arts organizations. Its success was due, in no small part, to the participation of "Nevsky Pickwickians" Benois and Bakst, who designed sets and costumes for many of its productions.

# Murder of Kimberly Cates

The murder of Kimberly Cates was a thrill killing that attracted national attention in the United States due to the crime’s brutality, the randomness by which the home was chosen with intent to murder (the victims and perpetrators did not know each other prior to the home invasion), the apparent lack of remorse, and the perpetrators’ ages.

## Incident

On October 4, 2009, 17-year-old Steven Spader and 19-year-old Christopher Gribble murdered Kimberly Cates (age 42) and severely maimed her 11-year-old daughter, Jaimie, during a home invasion in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire. Both victims were assaulted with a machete. Spader admitted to hacking Kimberly Cates to death with 36 blows to the head and torso.
A former Boy Scout, Spader was a high school dropout who passed the GED high school equivalency exam. Spader had formed a club he called "The Disciples of Destruction" shortly before the murder, from which he recruited his confederates. Spader designed a logo with the initials D.O.D. Spader told his recruits that the home invasion was to be a rite of "initiation" for club members.

## Sentencing

Both Spader and Gribble were sentenced to life in prison without parole. Two accomplices who accompanied them, William Marks and Quinn Glover, were sentenced to 30-60 years and 20-40 years respectively. A fifth person, Autumn Savoy, was convicted of hiding evidence and lying to investigators.
Because of the U.S. Supreme Court's Miller v. Alabama 2012 ruling that limited the sentencing of minors to mandatory life sentences, Spader was granted a new sentencing hearing. Apparently content with his life sentence, Spader informed his attorneys during an April 2013 resentencing hearing that he did not want a reduction in sentence, describing himself as "the most sick and twisted person you'll ever meet". He did not appear at the hearing.
The State of New Hampshire claimed that Spader lacked remorse, considering it "unnecessary" and a form of weakness, and likely would commit more crimes upon release from prison. His sentence of life plus 76 years was upheld. In May 2013, the New Hampshire Supreme Court allowed Spader to drop the appeal of his conviction. His appellate attorney told the press that Spader did not want to appeal for "personal and moral reasons". Spader was moved to New Jersey State Prison in February 2014 and subsequently sustained injuries in a prison fight.
In October 2014, Gribble sought a reduction in his sentence for his non-murder charges based on his young age; the court did not rule immediately.

## Effect

The murder led to the New Hampshire legislature expanding the crimes punishable by the death penalty to include murder during a home invasion. On May 30, 2019, the state repealed the death penalty, after state senators overrode a veto by Governor Chris Sununu. Prisoners who had been convicted of capital murders committed before that date did not have their sentences commuted to life in prison, as the repeal was not retroactive.

# Macbecin

Macbecins are a pair of chemical compounds in the ansamycin family of antibiotics. They are designated macbecin I and macbecin II and they were first isolated from actinomycete bacteria. Macbecin possesses antitumor properties. In vitro studies have shown that macbecins are effective in the eradication of Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and protozoa including Tetrahymena pyriformis.

## Structure

Macbecins have an unusual macrocyclic lactam structure. The two variants, macbecin I and II, correspond to the oxidized 1,4-benzoquinone and reduced hydroquinone, respectively.

## Mechanism of action

Macbecins mechanism of action is in part due to heat shock protein Hsp90 protein inhibition.
# 2003 Azerbaijani presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Azerbaijan on 15 October 2003. As expected, Ilham Aliyev, son of the outgoing president, Heydar Aliyev, was officially elected with an overwhelming majority in a vote international observers deemed not to be free or fair.
The election was characterized by ballot stuffing and manipulated voter lists. The final vote tabulation was kept from OSCE/ODIHR monitors, which meant that they could not judge the accuracy of the results. Police arrested members of electoral commissions who refused to sign paperwork on vote counts from their precincts. The opposition claimed that Gambar had won the election. The opposition protested against the election results, with the Aliyev regime arresting hundreds, including Gambar.

## Conduct

Human Rights Watch stated that the "election campaign... from the beginning was heavily manipulated by the government to favor Prime Minister Ilham Aliyev, son of President Heydar Aliyev. The government ensured that election commissions would be stacked to favor Aliyev, and banned nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from monitoring the vote. As the election drew nearer, government officials openly sided with Ilham Aliyev, obstructed opposition rallies, and sought to limit participation in them. Police have beaten and arbitrarily detained hundreds of opposition activists, including a 73-year-old woman."
The Institute for Democracy in Eastern Europe provided 188 election observers. The mission, requested by the United States government, formed part of a larger group of observers monitoring under the auspices of the OSCE. The IDEE observers observed more than 1,000 voting precincts and Constituency Election Centers where votes were tabulated, and collectively issued a "Votum Separatum," which expressed their outrage at election fraud, intimidation and political repression they witnessed during their observation mission and their disagreement with the OSCE's mild preliminary report calling the elections "generally well administered."

# R. M. Fraser

Robert Macdonald Fraser (1870 in Liverpool – 1947 in Crosby England), known as R. M. Fraser, of Scottish descent, was a landscape and coastal painter.

## Life

During the period between 1910 and 1938, he showed some fifty paintings at Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery, and had work accepted at seven Royal Academy summer exhibitions. Other venues included the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art, the Manchester Art Gallery and The Bluecoat in Liverpool. He became Vice President of the Liverpool ‘Artists Club’ in 1929.

## Artistry

His subjects were predominantly the landscapes of North Wales and the North West of England. During the 1930s the family owned holiday cottages in North Wales, firstly at Rowen in the Conway Valley and then at Beddgelert where the surrounding hills and coastline of Snowdonia provided inspiration for his work. At the opening its 1937 exhibition at Liverpool’s Bluecoat Gallery, R. M. Fraser’s Menai Straits was acclaimed as being ‘a lovely episode of the sea and coast as seen from Anglesey’. As well as the seascapes and hills of Wales and the moorlands of Lancashire, he was also drawn to the flat landscapes and wide skies of south Lancashire close to his home in Crosby (a north Liverpool suburb). His working method was to paint initially ‘En plein air’, with oil sketches providing the basis for larger studio paintings.
This catalogue brings together images of his paintings inherited by family members but it does not represent a complete collection as it would appear that many were sold. A number of the photographs taken by the artist of his own paintings prior to sale still exist together with handwritten notes indicating the price and title. Little is known of his formative years but it is possible that his interest in painting developed during his secondary school years at the Liverpool Institute and Art School, this being the first educational establishment to specialise in the visual arts outside London. RM Fraser’s early career was in commerce but certainly by the age of thirty he had become involved Liverpool art circles. He left his job as a company secretary during his forties and then concentrated on his artistic career. Married to Eve Brown, herself an accomplished artist, they had four children, James, Marion, Beatrice and Robert, three of whom became practicing artists. Marion was to graduate from the Royal College of Art in London, Robert attended the Liverpool Art College, and James in later life set up a Studio in Dent, West Yorkshire.
