Peter Reddaway (born September 18, 1939) is a British-American political scientist, a Russia expert, known primarily for his study of its human rights and dissident movement.

Peter Reddaway graduated from Cambridge University and did graduate studies at Harvard, Moscow State University, and the London School of Economics and Political Science where he later taught. Reddaway moved to the United States in the 1980s and served as Director of the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies (1986–89). From 1989 until his retirement in 2004, he was Professor of Political Science at the George Washington University, teaching courses on Soviet and post-Soviet affairs, and on human rights, and a multi-disciplinary introduction to Russia and Eastern Europe. He is currently Emeritus Professor at this university.

Starting from the early 1970s, Reddaway was closely involved with the Soviet dissident and human rights movement. He published some of his articles about it in the Dissent Magazine. His major works include Uncensored Russia: The Human Rights Movement in the USSR (1972), which consists primarily of his translation of the first 11 issues of the underground Chronicle of Current Events; Psychiatric Terror: How Soviet Psychiatry is Used to Suppress Dissent (co-authored with Sidney Bloch, 1977); Soviet Psychiatric Abuse (co-authored with Sidney Bloch, 1984); Authority, Power and Policy in the USSR (co-edited with T.H. Rigby and Archie Brown, 1980); The Tragedy of Russia's Reforms: Market Bolshevism Against Democracy (co-authored with Dmitri Glinski, 2001); The Dynamics of Russian Politics: Putin's Reform of Federal-Regional Relations (in 2 volumes, co-authored with Robert Orttung, 2003–2004), and The Dissidents: A Memoir (2020).

Reddaway is the author of many articles and has provided numerous testimonies on Russia to congressional hearings, including on corruption in Russia at the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. According to one of Reddaway's presentations, "by 1998, Yeltsin's regime and the Russian state had become not just dangerously weak and corrupt, but also... financially dependent on Russia's wealthy elite"; he viewed Vladimir Putin as a product of the Yeltsin system, who, "if he does try to change the system... will find himself a prisoner of the system."

MPD Received Donation to Purchase Ballistic Shields for Patrol Officers
By Milwaukee Police Department - Jan 24th, 2023 11:58 am
MILWAUKEE, WI – Tuesday, January 24, 2023 – With the proliferation of guns and other firearms, the job of Milwaukee Police Officers has grown more dangerous. In recent years, several Milwaukee Police Department officers have been injured by gunfire or shot at while on duty.
To help better protect officers in life-threatening situations, the Milwaukee Police Foundation has purchased new special tactical ballistic shields. The shields can withstand rifle rounds, and each district will have ballistic shields available to patrol officers when they respond to high-risk calls.
The purchase was made thanks to a donation by Minnesota-based Johnson Brothers, a family-owned wine, spirits, and beer distributor. The company has been operating in Milwaukee since 1975.
"We appreciate the partnership with the Milwaukee Police Foundation, who helped facilitate the purchase of these shields," said Milwaukee Police Department Chief Jeffrey Norman. "I also want to express my sincere gratitude to Johnson Brothers for their generous donation that made this purchase possible. We can't thank them enough."
With these shields as an added layer of safety, officers are better protected when facing danger while on the job.
"The purchase of these lifesaving ballistic shields represents our core mission at the Foundation – to help provide critical tools and resources the MPD needs to build community trust and provide for officer safety and wellness," said Mark McClain, President of the Milwaukee Police Foundation.
"We appreciate the work of the brave men and women of the Milwaukee Police Department," said Bill Anderson, President of Johnson Brothers of Wisconsin. "They put their lives on the line every day, and this donation is simply our way of saying 'thank you' and a token of our appreciation for the critical work they do every day in keeping our community safe."

Q: Add .jpg extension to image-urls without extension I get url-images from imgur with 'href': article.data.url, (ex: http://i.imgur.com/eUlT0yz.jpg)
But some times I get these urls-images without .jpg extension (ex: http://imgur.com/6VZeFoS)
So, I would like to convert any url-image-without-extension (or not ending in .jpg) to the format http://i.imgur.com/<ID>.jpg
(ex: http://imgur.com/6VZeFoS --> becomes --> http://i.imgur.com/6VZeFoS.jpg)
What I would have to change on code to fix this?
Here the code I used to resolve URLs images:
// getting image URLs
App.image_domains = {
    'i.imgur.com': function (article) {
        var url = article.data.url;
        var split_url = url.split("imgur.com/");
        if (split_url[1].indexOf(".") === -1) {
            return url + ".jpg";
        }
        return url;

    },
    'imgur.com': function (article) {
        var url = article.data.url;

        // Ignore album images
        if (url.indexOf("/a/") !== -1) {
            return "";
        }

        // Remove unnecessary paths from image URLs
        url = url.replace(/(www\.)?imgur.com/, "i.imgur.com");
        url = url.replace(/\/r\/[^\/]+/, "");
        url = url.replace("/new", "");
        url = url.replace("/gallery", "");

        // Make sure the URL doesnt already have an extension
        var split_url = url.split("imgur.com/");
        if (split_url[1].indexOf(".") === -1) {
            url += ".jpg";
        }

        return url;
    }
};

A: Another solution is - http://jsfiddle.net/aimeeborda/aX6Te/where I filter for img's src
(.jpg|.png)$

that do not end with jpg or png and add the extension
var index = src.lastIndexOf('.') < 0 ? src.length : src.lastIndexOf('.');
$(this).attr('src', src.substring(0, index) + ".jpg");

Happy 4/20. China doesn't celebrate National Weed Day. (Vox's Primer for never-stoners. H/t Axios AM.)
Chicago readers: Register here to join Mike Allen's Monday conversation with Mayor Rahm Emanuel about innovation and automation.
Thanks for reading, and remember, if you want a daily and deeper look at China please check out my daily Sinocism China Newsletter and follow me on Twitter @niubi.
1 big thing: U.S. tech smackdown proves Xi's point
Photo: Paco Freire/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images
The U.S. Department of Commerce may have issued a corporate death sentence to Chinese telecom equipment maker ZTE by banning American firms from selling to it for seven years. The company condemned the ban today, but the U.S. is unlikely to reverse its decision.
From the Chinese perspective: While the company may end up crippled, the episode has strategic and propaganda value for Beijing. The timing of the announcement — right before the 2nd anniversary of an important speech on cybersecurity and technology made by Chinese President Xi Jinping — only serves to strengthen the point he's been making about the need to reduce reliance on foreign, and especially American, technologies.
Between the lines: China cannot do that overnight but they are closer than they were 2 years ago. The ZTE decision, especially in the context of the worsening U.S.-China relationship, will lead to a redoubling of the PRC's efforts to de-Americanize its core information technology stack and achieve the goals laid out in the "Made in China 2025" plan.
ZTE, in spite of its bad behavior, is easily portrayed in PRC media as a victim of American bullying.
Plus, China is now seen as suffering from U.S. "trade blackmail", as one Chinese think-tanker called it ( 把网络强国搞上去,就不怕美国的贸易讹诈).
Go deeper: Xi looks prescient in his calls for China to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign technologies from his speech two years ago, which was much lauded in Chinese media on the 2nd anniversary this week.
Already: Reuters reports today that plans are already underway to accelerate indigenous chip development.
Read the full story here.
2. U.S. sees tech war with China deepening
Illustration: Lazaro Gamio/Axios
From the U.S. perspective: Tensions with China over technology are only going to deepen.
The U.S. is considering using emergency powers to curb Chinese tech investments by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Bloomberg reports.
The Washington Post says a new report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission shows the "U.S. government is dangerously vulnerable to Chinese espionage or cyberattack because of its dependence on electronics and software made in China."
Quick take: If you rely on China for your supply chain, have you finished your contingency plans in the event of massive disruption?
Yes, but: These trade wars can have unintended consequences, as Axios' Dan Primack writes in his Pro Rata newsletter this morning. He points out the current format of the CFIUS bill "could prevent U.S. investment funds from investing in sensitive U.S. tech companies (think semiconductors, cybersecurity, etc.), so long as those funds have Chinese limited partners."
And, from the other side, the NYT says if China boycott's U.S. goods, it could backfire on them.
Meanwhile, Axios' Steve LeVine writes that the U.S. is experiencing a revival of Japan syndrome, circa late 1970s. That's when "Made in Japan" abruptly stopped being a source of mirth, Americans began to snap up Toyotas and Nissans in big numbers, and Detroit sank into a profit-and-jobs bloodbath.
Similarly, 5 years ago, American technologists sneered at China's Baidu and its new search engine. But "they aren't laughing anymore," says Gregory Allen, an AI expert at the Center for a New American Security. "Now they are marveling at Baidu's advances in artificial intelligence."
3. Author interview: the new Chinese state
Book cover of "The Third Revolution: Xi Jinping and the New Chinese State"
Elizabeth Economy, an expert on Chinese domestic and foreign policy, is out with a new book: "The Third Revolution: Xi Jinping and the New Chinese State". Yesterday, I conducted brief email interview with her:
What is Xi's vision for China, and if he is successful what will China look like in the next 10-20 years?
"Xi's vision is Singapore at home and the United States abroad. At home, China will be a prosperous society that boasts a clean (no pollution, no corruption), modern economy and a paternalistic political system dominated by one party. Abroad, China is able to shape international norms and institutions to reflect its own values, maintain a powerful presence globally that can be mobilized to meet its needs, and be admired for its values and cultural achievements."
What does Trump have right and what does he have wrong about China and how the US should be addressing the challenges in the relationship?
"Trump is right that China respects strength and will negotiate for real only when forced to. Otherwise, Beijing will talk and talk, while it militarizes islands in the South China Sea, trades with North Korea, and adopts protectionist economic policies. Trump is wrong to praise Xi Jinping (and other dictators) so effusively. It makes vulnerable the United States' greatest strength — its commitment to democracy 'with American characteristics.'"
There seems to be near bi-partisan consensus in the US of the need to "get tough" on China. Are there any likely off-ramps or should we expect more of a structural downturn in the relationship?
"Off-ramps are everywhere. In the emerging tariff war, Trump needs only two or three small wins like the Chinese reduction in auto tariffs to declare victory and start walking back. A win on North Korea could similarly help dissipate trade tensions. That being said, it will take a herculean effort to maintain equilibrium in the overall relationship and avoid a structural downturn."
Go deeper: Economy posted an essay excerpt from her new book in Foreign Affairs.
4. Report: GOP fundraiser's China connection
Billionaire Guo Wengui, who had saught asylum in the U.S. Photo: Timothy A. Clary/AFP/ Getty Images
The New York Times on Thursday explored documents they had obtained that they say appear to show Elliott Broidy, a top Republican fundraiser, as having had plans to try and force the exit of Chinese billionaire and dissident Guo Wengui.
The details, per NYT:
The documents, allegedly written by Broidy, involve complicated schemes but essentially would involve UAE requesting Guo to be extradited there, and then possibly transferring Guo back to China.
UAE might agree to deliver Guo to China because they believe he owes $3 billion to Emirati investment funds and China might pay off that debt, Broidy wrote.
Broidy reportedly wanted to please Chinese allies in Malaysia and possibly the United Arab Emirates as well as raise money.
"One person close to Mr. Broidy said he was interested in the case because of his friendship with Steve Wynn, another top Republican fundraiser."
In a statement to NYT, Broidy said, "This whole narrative is a fabrication driven by hackers who want to undermine me."
Flashback: The Wall Street Journal reported last October that Wynn had given Trump a letter from the Chinese government asking the U.S. to return Guo. And Caixin last July published a piece on Guo and Abu Dhabi investors.
5. China leads asylum seekers in the U.S.
Data: Department of Homeland Security; Chart: Andrew Witherspoon/Axios
Speaking of Chinese asylum seekers, Axios' Stef Kight and Erica Pandey write about how oppressive measures such as the "one-child" policy — and Beijing's refusal to take back most people who are deported from the U.S. — have left the U.S. with more asylum seekers from China than any other nation.
Read their whole story here.
6. WeChat's fake news problem
A new report from the Tow Center for Digital Journalism examines the spread of fake news and misinformation among Chinese-American immigrant users of WeChat, Tencent's communication platform that is used by nearly 900 million people globally, including Chinese overseas.
Among the report's findings:
WeChat content is disproportionally focused on affirmative action/census data disaggregation and unauthorized immigration over other topics like jobs, economy and health care.
"Local stories and policies especially fall prey to distorted information, when lack of local news coverage on issues of particular interest to immigrant Chinese leaves a vacuum for misinformation to flourish."
One example of a "fake news" headline on a platform is: "Kill a Chinese, get a green card."
Read the full report.
Why it matters: Western policymakers grappling with the growing global influence of the PRC and the Chinese Communist Party have little ability to influence the content flowing through WeChat.
My thought bubble: I am in several groups of mostly Chinese-American immigrants and I regularly see some crazy stuff getting posted. Another issue is that many consumers have weak English skills and so only read Chinese-language media.
7. 6 billion cockroaches might do some good
Cockroaches can be used in research or medicines. Photo: Anne-Christine Poujoulat/AFP/Getty Images
This story may not be easy to read — 28,000 roaches per square foot!! — but if cockroaches have medicinal value and can be bred in massive quantities for harvesting then why not?
Buzz: The South China Morning Post describes a giant indoor farm in Xichang, China, that's breeding 6 billion cockroaches a year — larger than the world's population. Per SCMP:
It's also using artificial intelligence to manage the colony, which plans to use the cockroaches for a "'healing potion' being consumed by millions of patients in China, according to the Chinese government."
"Professor Zhu Chaodong, the Institute of Zoology's lead scientist in insect evolution studies at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, said it would be a 'catastrophe' if billions of cockroaches were suddenly released into the environment."
"The Chinese government funded nationwide studies into cockroaches' medical value that, after more than two decades of laboratory investigation and clinical trials, had discovered or confirmed dozens of disease-fighting proteins and biochemical compounds with huge potential value in medicine."
Quick take: I just hope they don't escape the breeding facility, which is near the Qingshan airport...

The Geek's Reading List – Week of August 26th 2016 →
The Geek's Reading List – Week of August 19th 2016
Welcome to the new abbreviated Geek's Reading List. I have decided to cut back to a maximum of 10 articles per week as it is becoming harder and hard to find interesting tech or science articles which are not puffery, billionaire worship, or other nonsense.
These articles and the commentary are not intended to be taken as investment advice, nor should they today. That being said, investors need to understand crucial trends and developments in the industries in which they invest. Therefore, I believe these comments may actually help investors with a longer time horizon. Not to mention they might come in handy for consumers, CEOs, IT managers … or just about anybody, come to think of it. Technology isn't just a niche area of interest to geeks these days: it impacts almost every part of our economy. I guess, in a way, we are all geeks now.
1) Did The NSA Continue To Stay Silent On Zero-Day Vulnerabilities Even After Discovering It Had Been Hacked?
Once upon a time the NSA would advise companies on security and even help create standards. I strongly believe US companies are "guided" to insert obscure weaknesses in their equipment the NSA can exploit (see item 2). Of course, the Russians, Chinese, and others are not complete idiots so they know those weaknesses are there: they just have to find them. The reason I figure NSA didn't inform the tech companies is because either they already knew about them or were ignorant they had been installed. I am not sure which is worse.
"The NSA's exploit stash is allegedly for sale. As mentioned earlier this week, an individual or a group calling themselves Shadow Brokers claims to be auctioning off parts of the NSA's Tailored Access Operations (TAO) toolkit, containing several zero days — including one in Cisco's (a favorite NSA TAO target) Adaptive Security Appliance which allows for remote code execution. The thing about these vulnerabilities is that they aren't new. The exploits being hawked by Shadow Brokers date back to 2013, suggesting the agency has been sitting on these exploits for awhile. The fact that companies affected by them don't know about these flaws means the NSA hasn't been passing on this information. Back in 2015, the NSA declared that it passed on information about vulnerabilities to affected companies "90% of the time." Of course, this statement contained very few details about how long the NSA exploited vulnerabilities before allowing them to be patched."
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160818/11593035275/did-nsa-continue-to-stay-silent-zero-day-vulnerabilities-even-after-discovering-it-had-been-hacked.shtml
2) Cisco confirms NSA-linked zeroday targeted its firewalls for years
A number of months back Juniper announced a series of "weakness" had been "discovered in its firewalls. There were strong suggestions these were installed by state players. Not coincidentally those announcements were well timed with respect to third party disclosure. Now it is Cisco's turn: shortly after the announcement that NSA hacking tools were available Cisco announced it has "discovered" a vulnerability in its equipment. I sure they were shocked. They will get around to providing a patch but chances are their gear has other, as yet undisclosed problems, along with the new ones it will introduce in due course. That's the great thing about a free market: you might not be able to buy equipment secure from spies but you can choose whose spies you want to use.
"Cisco Systems has confirmed that recently-leaked malware tied to the National Security Agency exploited a high-severity vulnerability that had gone undetected for years in every supported version of the company's Adaptive Security Appliance firewall. The previously unknown flaw makes it possible for remote attackers who have already gained a foothold in a targeted network to gain full control over a firewall, Cisco warned in an advisory published Wednesday. The bug poses a significant risk because it allows attackers to monitor and control all data passing through a vulnerable network. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must control a computer already authorized to access the firewall or the firewall must have been misconfigured to omit this standard safeguard."

3) Bacteria coaxed to deliver chemo drugs right inside tumours
This is an interesting approach: take magnetotactic bacteria and load it up with chemo drug. Inject close to the tumor and use a magnetic field to direct the bugs toward the spot. It's a bonus that they also like low oxygen levels such as those around tumor. The short life might be a problem or a feature: you don't want long lived bacteria crawling around your body. Nevertheless perhaps they can engineer the bugs to last an hour or so, extending their "range".
"The bacteria were then ready to test on mice with colorectal tumours. The drug-loaded bacteria were injected a few centimetres from the tumour. The researchers used weak magnetic fields to direct the bacteria to the tumour, then relied on the bacteria's low-oxygen navigation to bring them to the most active part of the tumour. … Once the experiment was over, the researchers examined the tumour under a microscope. Special dyes allowed them to distinguish between the bacteria, the drugs and different regions of the tumour. They found that on average, about 55 per cent of the 100 million bacteria they injected into each mouse made it to the low-oxygen areas of the tumour, they reported in the journal Nature Nanoscience this week."

4) Tech IPO Clog Poised to Burst
Time was companies did an IPO because they needed capital to finance their expansion. Maybe that still happens but in the case of "Unicorns" (privately owned tech companies with a valuation of $1B or more) it is because the investors have decided the lamb is ready for slaughter. They want the ability to sell their shares to an unsuspecting public and have individuals fund their losses. You know a deal is a bad deal when the people who know most about a company would rather you buy it from them. Fortunately for "Unicorn" owners investment banks are very polished and investors are very gullible. Stay away.
"Some unicorns like Dropbox may not like what they hear as they start talking to advisers and investors about going public. Dropbox's similarly named public rival, Box, trades at about four times the company's expected revenue for next year, according to Bloomberg estimates. The Wall Street Journal last year cited a source who said Dropbox's revenue was likely to hit $500 million in 2015. If Dropbox's sales double this year, and do so again in 2017, Dropbox could be valued at about $8 billion at Box's revenue multiple. If Dropbox does go public at a valuation below its current one, it will have plenty of company. Box did it, too."

5) Verizon Offered to Install Marketers' Apps Directly on Subscribers' Phones
Crapware installation has become a big business for the PC industry and it is emerging in the wireless device business as well. This isn't exactly new: "locked" phones have included crapware for some time now. I think Verizon's rumored pricing is whacko and it seems the market agrees. What is a bit odd is that Verizon has done away with contracts so there is no reason to buy a phone from them. Get an unlocked phone directly from the manufacturer, probably save money, and have less garbage installed on it.
"The wireless carrier has offered to install big brands' apps on its subscribers' home screens, potentially delivering millions of downloads, according to agency executives who have considered making such deals for their clients. But that reach would come at a cost: Verizon was seeking between $1 and $2 for each device affected, executives said. Verizon started courting advertisers with app installations late last year, pitching retail and finance brands among others, agency executives said."

6) Walabot lets you see inside your walls or floors
As a guy engaged in never ending construction jobs I can see a lot of potential for this gizmo. As near as I can tell it is a radar unit, and, if so, lots of similar product could come on the market and make priced a bit more mainstream. I am a bit skeptical though. Most of the demonstration videos don't really look like the video they show on the article.
"WalabotDIY is a 3D imaging device that works along with your Android smartphone using an app that is available for download at no cost. Once the app is installed, the device can be used to scan the wall and images are projected onto the screen of the smartphone. The idea is to allow the user to know how far they need to drill or cut to avoid hitting any pipes, wires, or other items inside the walls."

7) Why Drones Actually Can't Deliver Packages to Homes
I am glad somebody finally bothered doing the math. Of course, it could be that gasoline powered drones would be the solution nevertheless I can't wait for the first fatality associated with a heavy drone dropping from the sky so somebody could get a book a day faster.
"My first investigation was aimed at understanding why the drone flight time was limited to 20 minutes. Being an engineer, I developed the math for it. It is based on a few known characteristics of the current state of technology. Most drones use electric motors and batteries. In my research, I found that a battery typically holds a capacity of 65Wh (Watt-Hour) for every 1 pound of battery weight. The "hover" or cruise speed power requirement for a drone is 100W for every 1 pound of overall weight (drone + batteries + payload), while it requires 200 W/lb to climb or fly at speed. Finally, the power system (motor + speed controller) delivers 1,000W for every 1 pound of drone weight (not including batteries or payload). I checked the performance specifications for many different sizes and manufacturers of electric motors and batteries, and found that the numbers above were very consistent. I don't want to bore you with the math, so I'll skip right to the conclusion. When you do the calculations, you find that it results in the following: For a 30-minute flight, a drone's overall weight (drone + batteries + package) must be 20 times that of the package alone. The batteries' weight accounts for most of that. For a five-minute flight, the overall weight has to be only 1.5 times that of the package."

8) The LTE Apple Watch 2 is dead, but the new model may still have GPS
Well, duh. A big part of a smartphone's battery consumption is the display but the rest is the radio. The power consumption of the receiver is subject to some Moore's Law related improvement but the transmitter is pretty much a matter of physics. No kidding you can't get enough power in a watch sized battery. As for the GPS, well, golly, that would give the Apple Watch the same capability as a wrist mounted Garmin product I had a decade ago.
"That LTE Apple Watch you've been wishing for is probably not coming any time soon — but the new version will have GPS tracking as previously rumored, so at least there's that. According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple ran into trouble with battery life for a version of the incoming Apple Watch 2 with cellular connectivity. All that data transferring decimated the wearable's small battery."

9) Popular Internet of Things Forecast of 50 Billion Devices by 2020 Is Outdated
I wish more people understood that IDC and Gartner are in the business of selling industry research, not making accurate predictions. Selling industry research is predicated on making it sound exciting: no investor or entrepreneur is going to fork over big bucks unless you are forecasting sunny skies and huge growth. The *lowest* forecast for the IoT market I was able to uncover is $4T which is about 22% of the GDP of the US, and fully 4% of global GDP.
"Still, it would seem the practical utility of IoT estimates is limited if they have the potential to be revised by many billions of units. Turner at IDC says such variation and fluidity of these numbers is typical of early estimates focused on nascent markets. The point, he suggests, is to think of the estimates as a general signal, rather than focus on the specific numbers. There are many reasons why projections from different firms may change over time, or simply not match up in the first place. Each company starts with its own definition of IoT and refines its methods over time."

10) With SolarCity Cuts, Elon Musk's Magic May Be Wearing Thin
What I find remarkable is not the content of the article (seriously: no s—t, Sherlock) but that articles like these are becoming more and more common. Some "business plans" revolve around telling louder and ever more elaborate versions of stories people want to hear. Whether the stories are grounded in reality is moot provided investors are willing to provide the money. This works perfectly until it stops working. Once the money supply dries up the whole thing comes crashing down and the first signs the money supply is going to dry up is when people start thinking rationally.
"Musk's grand vision for an integrated solar-plus-electric-vehicle behemoth, meanwhile, looks increasingly like a reality distortion field. The opening of the massive solar-panel factory the company is building in Buffalo, New York, has already been pushed back to mid-2017. Some analysts have estimated that the factory is likely to lose as much as $150 million a year once it reaches full production. What's more, there is little indication that huge numbers of people are clamoring for the ability to equip their homes with SolarCity panels, a Tesla Powerwall battery, and a charging system for their Teslas. In short, SolarCity's latest moves could be a signal that merging two companies with combined 2015 losses of $1.6 billion might not be such a great idea after all."

Is Harold Wallach Based on a Real Person? How Did He Meet Angelyne?

The Peacock miniseries 'Angelyne' follows the titular LA celebrity as she rises to fame in the 80s and 90s because of her strategically placed billboards around the city. As Angelyne becomes popular, appearing on talk shows and perpetually seen driving around town in her characteristic pink car, questions about her past arise. The news story that ultimately reveals Angelyne's past is full of unexpected details.
The show is an intriguing mix of fantasy and fact, taking inspiration from journalistic sources and the real-life Angelyne's whimsical persona. The narrative occasionally feels almost like a documentary, but just how real are the characters that populate it? Let's take a closer look at one of Angelyne's most significant associates on the show — Harold Wallach.
Is Harold Wallach Based on a Real Person?
As it turns out, the character of Harold Wallach is allegedly based on the real person — Hugo Maisnik. In the Peacock original, Martin Freeman essays the intriguing character with effortless ease. Hugo Maisnik was known as Angelyne's manager during her peak as the "billboard queen." As depicted on the show, Hugo ran an inherited display-printing business and helped Angelyne secure many of her most famous billboards. He was also the answer to many speculative questions about Angelyne's source of funds.

Apart from his printing business, Hugo also invented an adhesive tape called Hugo's Amazing Tape. Incidentally, his daughters appeared on a Shark Tank episode in 2018 with the very same product. During the episode, they also revealed that their father had passed away. A 2017 interview with Jesse Small, who attempted to make a documentary on Angelyne in 2012, also revealed that Hugo spent some time in a retirement home in Westwood, adding that he was living with Alzheimer's.
Over her multi-decade career as an icon, Angelyne dabbled in acting and released two music albums. However, her predominant claim to fame was her appearance on a staggering number of billboards around Los Angeles, which, at one point, numbered more than 200! In a 2019 interview, Angelyne said, "Success is a high better than any drug, and to be honest, I got kind of addicted to the attention. I became a billboard junkie."
As for Angelyne's relationship with Hugo, who was older than her and married at the time she met him, she said that things had always remained platonic. Jesse Small also revealed that Angelyne's belief in the barter system, to essentially not pay and instead exchange things for mutual benefit, was part of the teachings imparted to her by Hugo. In the same interview, Small shared that Hugo told him that he and Angelyne had a 50-50 deal.
It seems that the printing businessman had quite an influence on Angelyne's trajectory since her first billboard went up only after she met him. The sign in question said "Angelyne Rocks" next to her signature image and was situated on Sunset Boulevard. On the show, Harold Wallach's daughter, Wendy, has to contend with Angelyne's seemingly constant presence. In real life, Hugo's daughter, Katherine Saltzberg, wrote a one-woman play titled 'Los Angelyne' in which she described growing up in the pink-clad icon's shadow.
How Did Hugo Maisnik Meet Angelyne?
According to Angelyne, she met Hugo in 1982. After leaving her then-boyfriend's band, Baby Blue, Angelyne focused on a solo music career. While she was looking for a printer to advertise her self-titled music album, her paths crossed with Hugo. Angelyne described him as a "very eccentric, bored prankster" who immediately understood the value of her image. Since Hugo was already in the billboard business, he also served as a mentor of sorts and eventually helped Angelyne get her first billboard up on Sunset Boulevard in 1984.

Luddington  is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. The population in 2001 was 457, increasing to 475 at the 2011 Census. It is located about 5 kilometres (3 miles) outside the town of Stratford-upon-Avon on the banks of the river Avon and has views south over the Cotswolds. Facilities and communications include a phone box, a 19th-century church, a post box, a marina with a 17th-century lock, a village green and a recently refurbished village hall originally built in 1953. The parish encompasses Dodwell Caravan Park to the north of the village. The village is reputed to be the meeting place of Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare, as Anne was from the parish, and local lore states that they probably conducted their courtship in the area.

History

The name Luddington is of Old English origin meaning Luda's farmstead. Dodwell is also of Old English origin and means Dodda's well or spring. The village was originally accessed via a road running from the Evesham road down through Dodwell. This then continued through a ford in the river to Milcote. This first part of this road is now a footpath and the second part no longer exists. The village was part of the Ragley estate belonging to the Marquis of Hertford. One of the oldest building in the village is part of Boddington Farm, which dates from the 17th century. It marks the eastern boundary of the village's conservation area. During the English civil war, Robert Simcock's (Simcox) barn was emptied of its "carefully stored" apples by marauding troops.

Other old buildings include Clover Cottage, which is now part of a row of three cottages thought to formerly be one single-floor thatched cottage that has been split by a builder in the 20th century. Evidence of Clover Cottage dating back to before the 16th century was found during a recent (2015) renovation of the thatch in which the whole thatch was removed and replaced. Other important buildings include Sandfields Farm (now Luddington Grange), The Manor and The Cottage (now named The Old House). Luddington Manor is a Grade II listed building and was part of the Ragley estate, and a possible home of Anne Hathaway's family. The Cottage's front garden is shown on some maps to have been the original site of the church, where it is rumoured that the playwright and poet William Shakespeare may have married Anne Hathaway. The current church is not the church that stood in the village in Shakespeare's time, but is a 19th-century replacement and is on a different site.

There are numerous half-timbered buildings. The former Methodist Chapel was opened in August 1932, in a farm building owned by Thomas Higginson, a local farmer and Methodist Local Preacher. Other more recent buildings have been allocated to the farm estates. The village green was given over to public (Common land) by the Marquis of Hertford of Ragley Hall at Arrow. Until at least 1990 Luddington was home to Luddington Experimental Horticulture Station (EHS), one of several such establishments around the country undertaking field research for the Agricultural Development and Advisory Service (ADAS) of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Defra.

Economy
The village is largely a dormitory village, with the majority of the inhabitants working elsewhere. Residence and community is the main activity within the village, with surrounding farms providing some employment opportunity. Regular transient workers living on the farm are encouraged to be involved in the village and this year (2015) there was even an "international tug-o-war competition, with finalists Lithuania vs Bulgaria showing that Luddington is a truly welcome place to be.

Following the first suspected H5N1 bird flu outbreak in the United Kingdom, when a dead swan was found in Scotland, samples were sent to Luddington's now closed veterinary research facility for testing. Bomfords has frequently been at loggerheads with the village residents, who successfully took the company to court to prevent its very large goods vehicles driving through the village, resulting in a 7.5t limit on traffic and a massive reduction in the flow of vehicles. The Dodwell Trading Estate to the north of Luddington on the main Stratford-Evesham road, offers another source of employment and retail including bespoke joinery, antiques and unique homewares. Within the village, there is also a farrier and an organ building and repair business, a finance company and a healthcare/medical devices producer.

Village life
The village has many events including Carols on the Green on Christmas Eve with a brass band and mulled wine. There is an annual village fête in the summer and regular social events including All Saints Arms pub nights, quiz nights, the Arts Club, annual flower show, Luddflicks (cinema evenings) and dance classes in the village hall. Other activities include fishing, boating and canoeing though there is no slipway. The route of the Stratford Marathon passes through the village and the villagers host a water station and toilet facilities at their homes and the hall. Dodwell Farm, about  north of the village hosts occasional motocross events during the summer.

Dodwell

The civil parish also includes the Dodwell caravan park about  north of the village proper. The construction of this park effectively doubled the parish's population and means that the parish has two separate centres of population. Dodwell was originally a farming hamlet on the Evesham Road from Stratford to Bidford west of Bordon Hill.

Youth
The young people of the parish all reside in the village proper with no children living in Dodwell. Those of school age tend to attend schools within the  Stratford-on-Avon district, usually either in Stratford-upon-Avon or Alcester. There are few facilities for young people, apart from the swings on the green. There are no schools in the parish.

Transport

There are limited bus services for both the village and Dodwell, but not between the two, though the walk between the two is 10 minutes and the bus can take you to within a 5-minute walk.
