** BRAZIL. 6134.877, Feb 7 at 0710, VP off-frequency, and a bit of

When it`s minus we can always hope it`s Radio Santa Cruz, Bolivia,
back instead; it may not be RC but just named for the city. I check
9630+ but no signal from the other Apparition now. Slogan does not
mean ``full of grease``, which is graxa, but ``grace``. Altho my

Cuban pulse jamming, adding up to S9 here, while 5935 is S9+30, 5890

Passing by the 94.3/99.9 joint LPFM transmitter site on N side of Enid

``UPDATED: OCC shuts down disposal wells in response to 4.2 quake

COVINGTON, Okla. — Responding to a swarm of at least 18 earthquakes —
including one measuring magnitude 4.2 — in the Covington-Lucien area
Tuesday {sic! it was Friday, Feb 5 --- gh}, Oklahoma Corporation
Commission has ordered disposal wells in the area to cease or reduce
operations.

Disposal wells within three miles of the largest earthquake’s
epicenter have been ordered to cease operations, while wells from 3 to
10 miles of the epicenter must reduce volume to no more than 50% of
the current 30-day average, according to an OCC news release.

The decision was made by OCC’s Induced Seismicity Department. It is
estimated the actions will reduce disposed volumes by about 9,000
barrels a day, according to OCC.

“Researchers are in broad agreement that disposal into the Arbuckle
formation in parts of Oklahoma can raise risk of induced seismicity,”
said Matt Skinner, OCC spokesman. “Commission ISD directives since
2015 limiting or eliminating such disposal are among the actions
credited with the sharp decrease in Oklahoma’s seismicity rate since
2015.

The quakes — about four miles east and 1.5 south of Covington and 21
miles southeast of Enid — started at about 10:17 a.m., with magnitudes
3.5 and a 3.7 shaking the region, respectively, about 40 seconds
apart, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Both were between about
2.5 and 3.7 miles deep and centered in the same area.

About an hour later, two smaller quakes hit — a 2.3 at 11:27 a.m. and
2.6 at 11:29 a.m. — with the largest quake of the morning, a magnitude
4.2, centered in the same area at 11:48 a.m., according to USGS. It
also was at a depth of 3.1 miles. Smaller quakes continued with a 2.6
at 11:59 a.m.; a 2.2 at 12:03 p.m.; a 2.3 at 12:14 p.m.; a 1.5 at
12:44 p.m.; a 1.9 at 1:12 p.m.; a 2.1 at 1:59 p.m.; a 1.8 at 2:20
p.m.; a 1.5 at 3:59 p.m.; a 1.9 at 4:31 p.m.; a 1.7 at 4:36 p.m.; a
1.7 at 5:08 p.m.; a 1.8 at 6:40 p.m.; and a 1.3 at 8:23 p.m. {altho
USGS uses UT, these times converted to CST = UT -6}

The quakes were reportedly felt nearby and as far as downtown and
western parts of Enid, according to posts on social media. One
Covington resident said the earlier twin quakes knocked items from the
walls of her home.

Oklahoma has in the past been the location of several earthquakes with
the upsurge of oil and gas activity in the region starting prior to
2010. Temblors have decreased with action from Oklahoma Corporation
Commission and practices undertaken by the industry to curtail
wastewater injection in many places.

In 2020, there were only 36 earthquakes with a magnitude greater than
3.0 throughout the state, with 16 of those in Northwest Oklahoma.``

``“Eating Hanness”: Uyghur Musical Tradition in a Time of Re-education
--- Amy Anderson and Darren Byler, p. 17-26

Abstract

In February 2019, two major musical performances by residents of the
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region were widely circulated on Chinese
social media. These two performances, one a Mekit County Harvest Gala
and the other a performance by a Uyghur school teacher from Qumul,
featured Uyghurs dressed in Han cultural costumes performing Beijing
Opera.

Over the past five years, since the “People’s War on Terror” started,
the space for Uyghur traditional song and dance performance has deeply
diminished. Simultaneously, the space for Uyghurs performing Hanness
through Chinese traditional opera and Red songs has dramatically
increased.

Drawing on open source Uyghur and Chinese-language media, ethnographic
fieldwork, and interviews with Uyghurs in diaspora, this article
analyses the changing role of music in Uyghur religious and ritual
life by tracing the way state cultural ministries have dramatically
increased their attempts to separate Uyghur music from its Sufi
Islamic origins in order to produce a non-threatening “permitted
difference” (Schein 2000).

Since 2016, the re-education campaign of the Chinese government on
Uyghur society has intensified this disconnection by promoting an
erasure of even the state-curated “difference” of happy, exoticized
Uyghurs on stage. Han traditional music is now replacing Uyghur
traditional music, which shows an intensification of symbolic violence
toward Uyghur traditional knowledge and aesthetics.

In a time of Uyghur re-education, musical performance on stage has
become a space for political rituals of loyalty to a Han nationalist
vision of the Chinese state.

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 5 at 1604, S9+30 of dead air, as CRI relay

and what remains sounds distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC

into UTwente SDR, Netherlands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Feb 4 at 0701, R. Vanuatu, presumed third harmonic
of 3945, JBA modulation. Happened to check now but per Ron Howard,
previous fundamental 7260 has extended an hour until 0659* so no
harmonix before then; often audible also on X2 = 7890 but not now
