Four cassette tapes from the Spina!Rec label received courtesy of Ilia Belorukov in Saint Petersburg. All arrived 3rd February 2014. While the actual physical objects are extremely limited, I think all of these tracks are available for streaming or download from their Bandcamp page.
Split release (SPINA!REC SR002) is by Coaxil and Sashash Ulz. Coaxil is presumably a shortened version of the word referring to the co-axial cable used for television aerials, by which they may mean to convey something of their hooked-up and broadcasting characteristics. Not much going on their side though, just some tentative electronic blips and puny pulsations. We love a good analogue smursh picnic, but the flatness of the sound here is rather unreal and offputting. 'The Logbook' by Sashash Ulz has a tad more substance, although most of this depth is generated by the excessive use of an echo chamber or looping device, which creates pulsating patterns out of their ambient keyboard chords. Analogue synths, tapes, and sampling are all freely used; one or both acts might be from Petrozavodsk. Edition of 25 copies of this 2013 tape are already sold out.
Another split (SPINA!REC SR003), this one between Astma and Mars-96. Astma are the great team-up of the wonderful Alexei Borisov and Olga Nosova. In this incarnation they had one track on the Fabriksampler V4 2011 comp and also unleashed eight minutes of unsettling mayhem on Tickling Valmiera in 2013. Olga's drums, voice and effects do battle with Alexei's guitar, voice and electronics at a 2012 live event in Slovenia, and exciting, spiky, barbed music erupts from this situation, sputtering out at the listener like the exhaust of a failing Lada. Gotta love the fragmented, broken manner in which these abrasive art-punk grenades are lobbed out from behind a barricade of steel tyres and gloom. For some reason I feel like this live event was taking place on a snowy night, outdoors. Spin it yourself and see if you concur. Mars-96 have six studio tracks which they "layed down" in May 2012 at the Spina! studios. From Palmira, they're a trio of players – guitar, bass and drums by sound of it – who improvise everything while keeping one beady eye on their small collection of records by DNA, James Chance and The Contortions, the Bush Tetras, and of course (the original) Mars. Lively, energised angsty music, just as "spiky" as their fellow cactus-plants on the flip, but in a different and more disaffected way. Love their ambitious sound, and with an additional "axe" in the band they could audition as a bootleg version of the Glenn Branca orchestra. Maybe they waffle a little, and could learn a few lessons from their No Wave heroes about concision and economy, but that's not a deal-breaker. Check out their Bandcamp page, you won't believe how many records they've made.
SPINA!REC SR005 is a split by Kurt Liedwart and MWton. Liedwart is actually Vlad Kudryavstev and the owner of Mikroton Records, a label that's sent us many fine items of contemporary electronica and improvisation, and here he performs two long suites 'A Mask for Possession' and 'Accumulation and Silencing People in Repetition', both excellent instances of coldly modernistic synth blat, so angular it's almost cubist – the edges to these synth tones and beats are so mean and nasty that they could be put in charge of a 1920s boarding school where there's no hot water and they make you sleep with the windows open in Winter. Apparently this stone chilleroo is Kurt's first solo album. We certainly liked his Vtoroi teamup with Ilia B. Now for your tracks by MWton who used to be Moweton. (Wish Spina!Rec would print the band names on the cassette labels of these splits – what does a poor reviewer do in such a situation?) This is another guy we've already heard with his Guitaroid vs Megadrumster release, an atrocity that had him banned for life from picking up a guitar in half of the Russian Federation. On his four cuts, including the evocatively-titled 'Ghost Bullets', he puts his six-stringed destroyer through about 18 jillion effects so as to completely transform his sound into a murk of beautiful, engulfing and utterly alien shapelessness. Impossible to even identify the guitar in this enriched billow of purple gas. Contrast and compare this doughy spew to the lean hard-edged electronic tones of the flip, and you've got yourself an entertaining bundle with this rotary rogue. The performer, referring to himself as "Deergonomist" for this outing, also makes use of Kaoss Quad (an effects processor pad made by Korg) and speech samples, and declares "no no no this is beautiful this is art bedroom studio" on the back cover, a most apt sentiment for the day's work.
Final split (SPINA!REC SR004) is by Glina and All Blacks. Glina comprises members of Benzolnye Mertvecy and Coaxil, and this lumbering band of freighted camels produces an effect aptly described as "just wallowing in the clay, it is difficult to get out." They grind out a kind of stoner doom dirge, mixed with jazzy elements provided by the mournful saxophone which wails painfully through scads of echo effects, while the rest of the forlorn band plod through slushy mud in resigned fashion. 'Krasyni Kanon' is a forced labour march for sure, but 'Glamurnyi Avtoritarizm' has some moments of respite and there's a gleam of hope in the grey sky which hangs over us like a large, flattening hand of deadness. Gotta admire their rigid determination to hang around forever in the same dismal spot, but it's a kinda depressing sojourn in Glina-Land. All Black are more approachable, They make tremendous use of mindless, spinning repetition on their tracks. They may be using guitars in some way, but it's hard to tell through the delicious miasma of distortion and half-functioning structures. 'Summer' is particularly beautiful, and so is the wall of shimmering drone that comes through on 'Dot', but I also like the solemnity of the ponderous 'Bad' and the religious vibes which comes from 'Smells' with its sampled church choir, hopefully plucked from a Russian Orthodox temple (you can practically smell the incense on this one). I like the unpredictability of these constructs, and it's hard to crack the code they're using.

'Under the Dome' DomeWatch: 'Stop talking to me, Dome!'
Hello fellow Domesters! It's me again, your number one top DomeWatcher, a genuine human being who is definitely not just a Dome in disguise. Last night's episode of Under the Dome was filled with a hefty dose of deep-dive mythology. Angie finally proved that she's good for something besides being held captive and wearing shirts intended for second graders. The most attractive meatbag had a hot new theory about the Dome, which I'll refer to as the "Planetarium" theory. You ever hear that old joke about the Planetarium? Me neither! Dome! And on that note, it's time for my favorite part of the week: The Five Best Domes on this week's episode of Under the Dome.
5. The semi-abstract crazymaking DrugDomes. Another day, another random shooting in Chester's Mill. This one was provoked by a crazy lunatic degenerate named Larry, who our heroes found raving after a break-in. "Stop talking to me, Dome!" Larry said, almost certainly referencing Billy Madison. Barbie smelled some meth on the crazy guy's breath: "It's not the Dome talking to you…it's drugs!"
Yep, our crazy guy has been dipping into the famous Reverend Coggins RIP stock, which is called "Rapture." "It's like every kind of highcombined, maaan!" said Larry. "It's like, yo, dude, you ever realize that religion is the opiate of the masses, broooo?" "I think you mean the Dome is the opiate of the masses," said Barbie, shaking his head.
Sheriff Linda spent the rest of the episode investigating the local business, and finally concluded that, yes indeed, someone has been bringing in extra propane into Chester's Mill in order to make crazy drugs with symbolic names. But who could be behind this whole crazy drug scheme, which seems to require having a considerable amount of political power? Sheriff Linda scratched her head, which is a very pretty head, but unfortunately does not look very much like a Dome.
4. Special Only-Grenade-In-Town BoomDome: Big Jim suddenly became a dirty hippie peacenik and insisted that Chester's Mill institute a vicious gun control policy. Sheriff Linda pointed out that Chester's Mill is located in America, god darn it, and they've got rights. "If we're still part of America," said Big Jim. He announced a firearm turn-in program, with extra food and extra propane for anyone who gave their guns to the cause. But one citizen, named Ted, didn't want to give Jim his guns. His family all died when the Dome came down, although it's worth remembering that Domes don't kill people: People just keep killing themselves indirectly because of the Dome. Jim talked to Ted, and while he did, the red laser dot from Barbie's rifle caressed the beautiful pale Dome that sits atop Big Jim's shoulders. In the end, Big Jim got Ted's guns…and he kept the Grenade very specially for himself. Bet you anything that grenade goes off in the season finale.
3. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Now, technically, Natalie Zea is not actually a Dome…as far as we know. However, the Justified costar and Following costar officially became an Under the Dome costar this week, playing Max, a mysterious femme fatale from outside the Dome. Turns out that she was trapped inside the Dome and has been hanging out just offscreen the entire season. I really hope that this is how all new characters are introduced in Under the Dome: They just walk up and say, "Hey guys, I was in the house next door the whole time! Also, I am a human being and definitely not a Dome!" Anyhow, Max immediately added a whole lot of plot momentum to the show. She convinced Big Jim to round up all the guns so that they/she could be in control. She also revealed that she knew Barbie by giving him a very memorable smooch, and promised to tell Julia about the whole whoops-I-killed-your-husband thing.
So basically, Max has only been on the show for an episode, and already she's A) the most powerful enemy for Big Jim we've ever met B) the third corner of a Barbie/Julia romantic triangle, and C) established that she knows all the secrets of everyone in town. More of her, please!
2. The Mini-Dome. The cutest widdle Dome in Domeville went missing this week, which was sad. But it turned out that it had actually just relocated to the barn. After Angie started having seizures, the kids decided that she must be the third member of their Dome Gang. (Mythology Check: Joe established that the butterfly tattoo on Angie's back is not a monarch butterfly, so she is not the literal/metaphorical/whatever "Monarch" that is going to be "Crowned." Unless she is. Dome!) The kids touched the Mini-Dome and it started to light up. "It's almost like these are locks, and our hands are the keys!" said Norrie, reading carefully off a script that was handed to her by her Dome Overlords. Sure enough, a fourth handprint appeared on the side of the dome. Who could that hand belong to? Junior, right? Probably Junior? I'm betting on Junior.
1. The Dome. Can we all just point out that the Dome has become the hottest new star on television this year, but unlike most hot young stars, it hasn't fallen victim to vanity? It hasn't gotten a cool new haircut. It hasn't requested better clothes. It doesn't demand a lot of screen time. In fact, it insisted on taking a back seat the last couple of weeks to allow the show to develop its next hot Dome prospect, the Mini-Dome. Like, The Dome is definitely the Jennifer Lawrence of Domes.

The Radnor High School Scholarship Fund employs a variety of direct appeals to help generate the revenue necessary to sustain its mission to provide financial assistance to deserving Radnor graduates. Our mission has grown as more students seek to take advantage of our aid and as our awards increase to reflect the continually rising costs of secondary education.
The direct appeals include: a Radnor Community Campaign; a Corporate Appeal and an Alumni solicitation.
Radnor Community Campaign
For the Community Campaign, households in the township receive a brochure describing The Fund and, in many cases, a personal note from one of The Fund's Board members. This appeal is held annually in the fall and is a significant contributor to the annual income of The Fund with many repeat donors.
Corporate Appeal
The Corporate Appeal reaches out to local and regional businesses to solicit funds. In addition, many businesses donate to specific events, such as the fireworks; others endow scholarships in their name.
Alumni Appeal
Our alumni outreach has taken several forms including a mass mailing to some 12,000 alumni. In addition, specific classes having reunions are contacted and urged to contribute funds in the name of their class; seven classes have, at times, sponsored scholarships of this sort.

Previous Chapter -–Index–- Next Chapter
"… Am I a suspect?" Erkan asked.
"Are you kidding? You've been in the hospital for the last few days. Unless you can get up and tear people apart I'd say you're off the hook." Detective Simmons narrowed his eyes in an exaggerated fashion, "Unless you have something about that you'd like to share?"
"Umm… no?"
Detective Simmons nodded, "On a more serious note, you might be a lead. Even if you don't know you know anything, it's still worth a try. Now then, was there anything that stands out to you about the man who shot you?"
"Not really. He looked…" Erkan took a slow breath, "…pretty much like that photo."
"In what way?" Simmons held a pencil ready on a notepad.
Erkan shrugged, "Same face. Same sort of clothes." Erkan paused, "Too fancy for a regular thug."
Simmons scribbled on his notes, "Interesting. What about this?" Simmons pulled out a little baggy and held it up.
"A bullet?" Erkan shrugged, then grimaced.
"Know much about bullets."
"Not really." Erkan shook his head, "They're lead, right? That one looks like steel though."
"Usually they're lead with a copper casing. It's cheap and effective." Simmons shrugged and put away the bullet. "That's one of the ones he shot you with."
"Hmm. Well, sorry I couldn't help much."
"Don't be. Just rest. I already had you talking too much."
"Isn't that leading the witness, Simmons?"
"We're not in a courthouse. We won't be, either. Guy's dead. Unless he shops in the same clothing store and goes to the same ammo supplier." Detective Simmons raised an eyebrow at the other officer, "Tell me, who sells silver bullets, and for what?"
The officer shrugged, "Hobby stores? Good for hunting werewolves, I guess."
"Werewolves…" Simmons scratched his chin, "Werewolves… huh."
"Same store that takes mail to Santa and the tooth fairy, I hear." The officer grinned.
"Very funny. Werewolves though…"
"What, do you believe in werewolves now, Simmons?"
Simmons shrugged, "Dunno. I'd ask the body, but he can't talk. He'd need to be alive for that… and to have something below the neck."
|You're still doing the night shift thing, right? Even at the hospital?
Eh, kinda. Food still operates on a schedule for daytime weirdos
I mostly nap in between there
I'd like to keep some sort of schedule but it'll be hard to do for two weeks
Two weeks? 🙁
They had to do a lot of poking around inside there
I have haemophilia so they had to be careful
Tons of stitches
Man, that sucks
Getting shot sucks
I don't recommend it
Thanks for calling the ambulance
A few more minutes and I would have probably died
Just me, lying in a huge puddle of blood
That's morbid
Just being realistic
I bleed a lot
So, after I get out of here wanna go on another date?
Sure! (^,..,^)
What do you wanna do?
Anything that doesn't involve guns
Especially not if they're being shot at me
Darn! There go all my good ideas!
Erkan appreciated having good insurance. It meant he didn't have to worry so much about things. Instead, he could just sit and work on his thesis. Or whatever else he felt like. It made him realize how little he actually did.
Being in bed made everything seem more difficult and boring. Erkan almost appreciated when he had to get out of bed and walk around. It was sort of painful, but not when he did it right. His legs needed to move, and after the first few days so did his upper body. Stretching was painful, but he needed to do it, to a certain limit. Otherwise he would be near useless when he finally got out of the hospital. Though his work wasn't physically straining, if it hurt any time he lifted an arm to get something from a cabinet he wouldn't appreciate it. Stretching the right amounts during recovery would help him heal faster and more thoroughly. That was what the doctors said- and since that was actually their job, Erkan figured they knew what they were doing.
While he was sitting around in the hospital, Erkan decided to look up self defense classes. He wasn't surprised that he didn't find any in the middle of the night on weekends. There were a few at night, but that would either be in the middle of work or involve getting up early. There were a few that could work in the early morning as well. Those might be better.
Of course, Erkan didn't expect self defense classes of any sort would have helped any in his particular situation. He'd just been shot basically out of nowhere. No warning, no attempt to get anything from him. However, that was a very unlikely situation. It just made him realize how dangerous things were, and he wanted to be prepared for something more… regular.
The police investigation was still ongoing. They still didn't have a motive, and the only suspect was dead. Erkan was pretty sure the attacker was the one Detective Simmons had shown him the photo of… but it was possible he was just associating that photo with the memory. Brains were weird like that. At least it made him feel better about the whole situation. Erkan wasn't normally the type to wish people were dead, but he also didn't normally have anyone try to kill him.
"Erkan…" his mother came to visit pretty much every day, even though he'd prefer to be sleeping when she visited. "You must tell us about this girlfriend of yours!"
Erkan shook his head, "We've only been on one date. She just happened to be nearby when I got shot. Apparently we go to the same deli. That's about it."
Vardan patted his wife on the head, "I told you it would be something like that, dear. He doesn't need to be bombarded with questions while he's still in the hospital." Vardan kindly avoided mentioning that Erkan was about to be discharged from the hospital. Erkan appreciated that, especially since he knew his dad was just as interested in asking the same sorts of questions.

You can travel the world and understand the link between Christianity and Korean Pop Music "Bubble Pop" or go to England to find the correlation between an ink and its contribution to humanity's love for love, but you cannot understand any of those if you have no faintest idea of what color's power is to making your life a bright, more livable existence. This is why you have so many ideas with you that do not converge into a common thought: you don't get color and travel that much.
Travelling to England without color is like traversing a terrain of deserts, blind and waterless. You can be anywhere in the world and still feel incomplete if you can't harness the simple joy that color brings. Color is everything, that's the point here. You can even just stay in one station, read a book by Georges Simenon and understand life's fresh real brutally good meaning just by staring at the glare full drown of the color blue from a corduroy pants' one few quarks short of a gossamer. India has the rich use of orange; Hyam's Beach in Australia begins its lure from its rich clean blue stretch through oceans. No wonder it is the whitest beach there is, as Guinness would have it.
Travel is the establishment, celebration and assertment of color and this infographic highlights just that.

The idea that a publication retains value that creates an obligation upon the recipient to repay is an epiphenomenon of copyright.This is the peculiar idea that the maker or recipient of a copy of a published work extracts value from it which must be repaid to its copyright holder (or million dollar fines are liable).It is certainly a lucrative prospect to the beneficiary publishing corporations, but it's more akin to a baron's tithe than the natural exchange of labour you'd find in any other form of craftsmanship. Once you've bought a basket that's the end of the matter.The weaver has your money (your labour). You have their basket (their labour). Never shall you pay another penny however many times you use the basket, nor whether you sell it for twice the price you paid for it, nor even if you make copies or improvements.This is how intellectual work should have been exchanged with those who would pay good money for it too. But then the 18th century found monopolies too seductive to resist (consequent loss of individual liberty a trifling sacrifice).As the wretched monopoly of copyright decomposes in the sunlight of the information age, the dust of its unnatural corpse blown away by the instantaneous diffusion of the digital public domain, we're going to keep on seeing Kachingle type ideas cropping up that attempt to substitute for copyright's anachronistic ineffectiveness by facilitating a guilt driven repayment mechanism. Hence propositions such as "Here's how you can send me the royalty that you owe me for each copy of my work that you make", or "Each time you enjoy my work here's how you can repay me for the value you've received".That continuation of iniquitous privilege (publisher fealty) by misguided entrepreneurs who feel the more conscientious members of the public will still wish to subject themselves to copyright, in spirit if not in effect, misses the more natural exchange that we are now stumbling toward rediscovering: The exchange of intellectual work for money.We should pay for the work to be produced, not for the value we extract from it. That gives us the biggest clue as to the proper foundation for future revenue mechanisms. They do not facilitate the salvation of guilt by individuals who make unauthorised copies. They do not facilitate charity from people who feel they are overdue in repaying some of the value they've received. They enable people to exchange their money for the intellectual work of those who will gladly produce it in exchange.This should be obvious to anyone who looks at the copyleft market for free software. The software is published without privilege. Being so unencumbered by copyright it naturally belongs to the public as much as any basket belongs to its purchaser. You can use, share, and build upon this software guilt free. Of course it takes a while for those used to copyright 'protected' software to become comfortable with this radical yet ancient idea that a published work can belong to the public, but one gets there eventually. When free software stops being free is when the conversation of free speech runs dry and it becomes time to pay for the beer, time to pay for the labour of production. Those who want free software are the very ones who want to pay for its production. Those producers and those in want are the people in need of exchange facilities.They have no need for guilt nor need for conscience to be salved. They need a future as we all do, in which the people not only have their liberty restored to share and build upon their cultural commonwealth, but also the liberty to exchange that labour in a free market.Crosbie Fitch - Digital Productions [Fitch says he's researching and developing revenue mechanisms and business models for producers of digital art and in the process, 'has discovered that copyright is not only an ineffective anachronism, but is unethical and unconstitutional'.]

Makeup mogul Jeffree Star is launching a new Androgyny Palette on Sunday, but the promotional images featuring fellow beauty vlogger Nikita Dragun are making people pissed.
The photos, released this week, show Nikita covered in what looks to be a metallic bronze pigment.
Fans immediately put Jeffree and Nikita on blast because the bronzer appears to be significantly darker than her natural skin tone.
More From Seventeen
Now Twitter is exploding with people who believe the look is a form of blackface.
Nikita tweeted in her own defense on Tuesday, explaining that her skin just gets darker when she tans. As proof, she shared a few photos showing off her tanned skin. "So it's cultural appropriation if it's your own culture?" she asked.
Some fans came to Nikita's defense and Jeffree fired off a few tweets and RTs to back her up, calling the haters "mean and sadistic."
This isn't the first time Jeffree has faced accusations of racism. As reported by Revelist last summer, one of Jeffree's early videos (which he has since deleted) showed him joking about lightening a woman of color's skin with battery acid. "Maybe if she wasn't wearing the wrong foundation color, I wouldn't have had to splash no battery acid to lighten her skintone," he said.
In the wake of that report, Jeffree apologized, describing the video as a "huge mistake."
UPDATE: Friday, March 3, 2017, 1:05 p.m.
In a statement to Seventeen.com, Nikita said she was "disappointed" by the backlash against the campagin.
"It's very unfortunate that a section of the community is choosing to interpret and liken my image in Jeffree Star's campaign to blackface," she wrote in an email. "The message of this campaign is intended to welcome all gender identities, sexualities, and races to enjoy the makeup line. Additionally, the creative design for the imagery called for high contrast between light and shadow, and low lighting, which lends itself to creating a mood for the imagery. This campaign is so exciting and so disruptive; I'm proud to be featured in it as a Transgender Woman of Mixed Race (my mother being Mexican and my father Vietnamese). I'm disappointed that anyone would choose to critique the creative design of this incredibly inclusive campaign, rather than celebrate the diversity in it."

There has been a lot of question around what you can actually do with Microsoft Azure Active Directory Domain Services. Can you replace your on-prem domain controller? Do you need Active Directory anymore? Can you join your on-prem devices to the cloud domain? What is a cloud domain and does that even make any sense? The list of questions goes on and on.
Some Clarity on Azure Active Directory Domain Services
There's a lack of understanding on what Azure AD Domain Services can do, so we wanted to provide some clarity. Azure AD Domain Services is a domain controller for your Azure virtual machines and systems. It is not meant to replace your on-prem domain controller, nor can it join on-prem systems to a cloud domain.
In fact, Microsoft's viewpoints on what Azure Active Directory is relative to Active Directory and how that relates to the domain controller is highlighted in this post on Spiceworks:
"Azure Active Directory is not designed to be the cloud version of Active Directory. It is not a domain controller or a directory in the cloud that will provide the exact same capabilities with AD. It actually provides many more capabilities in a different way.
"That's why there is no actual "migration" path from Active Directory to Azure Active Directory. You can synchronize your on-premises directories (Active Directory or other) to Azure Active Directory but not migrate your computer accounts, group policies, OU etc.
"As you can see here Azure Active Directory is an identity and access management solution for hybrid or cloud-only implementations. It can extend the reach of your on-premises identities to any SaaS application hosted in any cloud. It can provide secure remote access to on-premises applications that you want to publish to external users. It can be the center of your cross-organization collaboration by providing access for your partners to your resources. It provides identity management to your consumer-facing application by using social identity providers. Cloud app discovery, Multi-Factor Authentication, protection of your identities in the cloud, reporting of Sign-ins from possibly infected devices, leaked credentials report, user behavioral analysis are a few additional things that we couldn't even imagine with the traditional Active Directory on-premises.
"Even the recently announced Azure Active Directory Domain Services are not a usual DC as a service that you could use to replicate your existing Active Directory implementation to the cloud. It is a stand-alone service that can offer domain services to your Azure VMs and your directory-aware applications if you decide to move them to Azure infrastructure services. But with no replication to any other on-premises or cloud (in a VM) domain controller.
"If you want to migrate your domain controllers in the cloud to use them for traditional task you could deploy domain controllers in Azure Virtual Machines and replicate via VPN.
"So to conclude, if you would like to extend the reach of your identities to the cloud you can start by synchronizing your Active Directory to Azure AD."
The Domain in the Cloud Era
What's interesting is the concept of the domain itself in the cloud era. When many of your IT resources and services are all across the world, does it even make sense to have a domain controller? A homogeneous Microsoft Windows network located on-prem is no longer the norm in IT landscapes. Modern organizations are leveraging the best solutions for their organization. Consequently, Mac and Linux devices, AWS cloud servers, the G Suite productivity solution, and others may be concurrently operating. Active Directory struggles to manage users and access to those other, non-Windows resources.
As a result, we are seeing modern organizations moving to next generation IDaaS (Identity-as-a-Service) platforms. This approach eliminates the need for a domain controller — whether on-prem or in the cloud. Even better, this approach centralizes user management across all of your IT resources, including systems, applications, and networks independent of platform, provider, protocol, and location.
JumpCloud Renders the Domain Controller Obsolete
Directory-as-a-Service® is the leading alternative to Active Directory and Azure AD. With core functions of system management of Mac, Windows, and Linux machines, cloud LDAP and RADIUS services, MFA, True Single Sign-On™, WiFi authentication, and more, Directory-as-a-Service also eliminates the need for a domain controller.

First Nordmeccanica Machinery Installation
Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics Announces First Commercial Installation and Use of Nordmeccanica Machinery for SYMBIEX™ Solventless Adhesives
- September 21, 2017 -
MIDLAND, Mich. - September 21, 2017 - Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics, a business unit of DowDuPont Material Science, today announced that Schur® Star Systems is the first company to commercially install Nordmeccanica's Duplex SL One Shot™ lamination line, which runs Dow's SYMBIEX™ Solventless Adhesives for packaging production. SYMBIEX™ technology will be used to manufacture flexible packaging for applications such as ready-meals packaging, sachets, portion packs, pouches and snack packaging.
"Dow introduced SYMBIEX™ to the global marketplace last year, and since then it has received tremendous recognition for its breakthrough production speeds and efficiencies," said Laurent Remy, Global Business Director for Adhesives, Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics. "Together with Nordmeccanica's Duplex SL One Shot™ lamination line, SYMBIEX™ won the 2017 Technology of the Year Award from the Association of International Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL) and was just named a finalist for "R&D Magazine's" R&D 100 Awards. The fact that SYMBIEX™ is now commercial provides industry verification of the technology's groundbreaking advancements for solventless adhesives."
The combination of using SYMBIEX™ with Nordmeccanica's Duplex SL One Shot™ lamination line significantly reduces production times by forming packages in less than a day, compared to the three- to five-day industry standard. SYMBIEX™ also provides customers with packaging with sustainability benefits without compromising performance, such as reduced energy consumption and bonding with no volatile organic compounds or adhesive scrap.
"Schur® Star Systems is a 170-year old family owned business, and we're proud to be taking the revolutionary step to be the first packaging manufacturer to use this breakthrough lamination technology in our operations," said Christian Schur, Chief Executive Officer for Schur® Star Systems. "We actually have two lines coming online – one in North America and one in Europe. Using SYMBIEX™ and the Duplex SL One Shot™ laminator will enable us to dramatically reduce production times and costs and provide sustainability improvements, benefits that will resonate with our customers."
SYMBIEX™ overcomes conventional lamination process limitations to create stronger value-in-use and higher total conversion cost reductions. The technology combines fast curing, which requires a fast-acting adhesive, with innovative machine design eliminating any potlife concerns. It also reduces machine downtime because of easy cleaning, which in turn can lower production costs.
"The award winning technology of SYMBIEX™ and the Duplex SL One Shot™ lamination line combine Dow's adhesives expertise with Nordmeccanica's legacy as equipment manufacturing pioneers," added Vincenzo Cerciello, VP Technology at Nordmeccanica Group. "This first global installation will lead to more packaging manufacturers and brand owners improving their operations and achieving their business objectives to address growing industry demand for shorter runs, sustainability, faster time to market and flexible performance."

It's a happy day over here! Mostly because it's Friday! I'm also happy because my husband brought home a pretty little bouquet of flowers for me after work last night. He said a lot of sweet things about my hard work this week when he gave them to me, too.
Today, I didn't work very hard. It's been overcast skies out all day and that made me just want to crawl right back into bed during Piper's nap. So I did. It was wonderful! I fell asleep for about 20 minutes and then stayed in bed reading the Bible until P woke up.
Today was weigh in day! I've been weighing in on Fridays for a couple weeks and it's been working well for me.
This morning I was happy to find that I didn't gain any weight this week. I didn't lose anything, either. I am still at 246 lbs. I'm down 7 lbs. from mid-February!
Balance helped me maintain my loss this week. I counted calories almost every day, with the exception of a night out with some girlfriends. I had a couple beers and pizza that evening, however, I was a good girl for the rest of the week. Balance is my friend!
Eating with my toddler around is another way I'm keeping the weight off. Anytime I eat in front of Piper, she says "oh wow" and asks for a bite or "more".
I'm mostly joking about Piper helping me lose weight by eating half of everything I eat. Sometimes I hide so she can't see me. Everyone does that though, right? Hah.

21,000 New Mexicans have medical marijuana cards
Number has nearly doubled since 2013
The number of New Mexicans issued medical marijuana cards has grown significantly in the past few years.
According to the Department of Health, there are currently 21,000 people enrolled. The number has nearly doubled since 2013.
There are 21 qualifying conditions in New Mexico. One of them is PTSD, something Chase Smothermon used to struggle with.
He admits he had a rough period going in and out of prison and taking prescription medications to treat his condition.
Three years ago, the state issued him a medical marijuana card.
"Since I've been on medical marijuana, I've been successfully been able to open my company," Smothermon said. "My life has been completely different ever since."
The state's medical marijuana program started in 2007. Applications can be found on the New Mexico Department of Health's website.

On June 6, 3,000 website operators, 65 network operators and five home router vendors celebrated World IPv6 Launch Day. Basically, the Web was running low on Internet addresses with the IPv4 protocol, but with IPv6, there are 340 trillion trillion trillion addresses available!
The effort was organized by the Internet Society and was meant to motivate organizations across the industry – including Internet service providers (ISPs), hardware makers, and Web companies – to get ready for and permanently enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on their products and services as IPv4 address space runs out.
To help tell the story of what happened with the beginning of World IPv6 Launch, the organizers created this infographic to "show and tell" with words, numbers and charts, the reality of this aspect of the changing and evolving Internet. The group encourages you to download your own copy of the infographic at www.worldipv6launch.org/infographic and use it in your own materials.

The E-2 Treaty Investor visa category may soon be open to Israeli business owners and investors after moves by both the US and Israeli governments.
The Israeli parliament have recently granted the ability to apply for investor visas to US citizens in Israel, so it seems likely that a similar move from the US government will be agreed shortly.
This follows legislation which was implemented by President Obama in June 2012, allowing an investor treaty with Israel, and eligibility of Israelis for the E-2 investor visa. Then in March of this year the Israeli parliament (Knesset) approved the investor treaty in Israel. Now with the approval of investor visas for American citizens there are no more obstacles in the legislation process.
E-2 Treaty Investor visas
The E-2 treaty investor visa is only available to applicants from countries which have entered into a relevant treaty agreement with the US. They are available to foreign investors, executives, managers and employees of companies who invest a large amount of capital into a US business.
Not to be confused with the EB-5 investor visa, which offers permanent residence; the E-2 visa is a non-immigrant temporary work visa. However one of the advantages of this visa type is that it can be renewed an unlimited number of times. There is also no annual quota on this type of visa.
It is thought that the legislation will be finalised in the coming weeks/months and that E-2 visa applications will soon begin for Israeli citizens.

With year's end only a day away, one tax expert says Iowans might consider making a few last-minute financial moves that could save them money come April 15th. Jeff Strawhacker, a West Des Moines certified public accountant, has a few suggestions. Review your tax situation and consider the many deductions you could make before year-end, like contributions to charity, be that cash, clothing, vehicles or whatever. Strawhacker says Iowans who hold stock should comb through their portfolios to see if some losers should be weeded out. Look at investment holdings and see if there are any poorly-performing stocks that have gone through some bad times. If they're now worth less than you paid for them originally, dump them and take the loss as a tax deduction.

Sep 27, 2018
"The House With a Clock in it's Walls" has some fun moment sand good special effects, but I find it lack joy among the characters. Ten year-old Lewis has to live with his uncle in a large cranky house and discover that his uncle (played by Jack Black) dabble in black magic, until he wanted to perform magic too. Which leads to the discovery of book that brings the dead back to life,bring his rival Issac back to life. The film is full of special effects, therefore lacking in the joy that associates with the movie. The only character that i like in the movie is Black's neighbor played by Cate Blanchett who brings class to almost every movie she appears in. She brought class to the movie "Ocean's 8" making her the only good performer in that movie. i didn't get anything out of that kid. He's annoying. the streets scenes could've been mistaken for the street scenes in "The Shape of Water." i only wish that i like this movie more, but can't. My advice is save your money for "Goosebumps 2" which will come out in a few week. Or this advice; If the film version doesn't work, then you might read the book that is based on the movie.

"On the 29th of February, it is customary for ladies to ask men out on a date. The beauty is: the man may not actually refuse. If he does, he has to give the maiden a present befitting the occasion, or be flogged in public."
It is Wednesday and the two girls have taken to the Cactus Jack quite early. Precilla said that, since the 29th is an extra day, she is not going to open her little pharmacy. It's been a tough month and she has had enough. She has sent four short stories to four magazines, with no answer yet. The January batch yielded only the usual bunch of rejection notes. But, she says, she will keep on trying. Once editors realise how readers would love stories about Rolbos, they'll pay her good money for her efforts. Gertruida made sympathetic sounds when she told her and ordered another round. That's when she changed the subject to men.
"Oh sure, Gerty. You can see that happening in 2012? Public whipping, I mean. Impossible."
"Maybe not always public whipping, but penalised, at least. Laws are laws, Precilla. The Scottish law of 1228 states that, and I quote: Ordonit that during ye reign of her maist blisset Majestie Margaret, ilka maiden ladee of baith high and lowe estait shall hae liberte to bespoke ye man she likes – albeit he refuses to talk he shall be mulcted in ye sum ane pundis or less. Some people think that the custom of reverse dating started there. Over the years it has become tradition, more than law. It would be most unkind of a gentleman to refuse the advances of a lady on the 29th. It simply isn't done."
"So what, exactly, are you brewing up in that brilliant mind?" Precilla wagged an unsteady finger towards Gertruida's head. "I can see you are going somewhere with this."
"Well, you know we are the only two unmarried women in Rolbos. Ta' Hybie doesn't count on account of her age and the fact that her dentures only arrive next week. And there's Ouma Snyman who lives out at Bitterbrak. You'll remember her; she's the one that ordered that spring-thingy with the batteries from your pharmacy in 2006. I don't think she needs a man." Precilla blushed. They talked about the "winged instrument with a natural action" guaranteed to "satisfy beyond belief" for a long time. Ouma Snyman has a standing order for batteries at Sammie's Shop. "So that leaves the two of us. And I think we must have a party."
At six, just when the sun was dipping towards the horizon, Gertruida arrives at Boggel's Place dressed to kill. She has dug out her floral jeans (summer of '67) and spent most of an hour squeezing into it. The low-cut blouse is of more recent origin, as are the hoops in her ears. In contrast, Precilla went even further: she likes the Gatsby era.
When they walk into the bar, the men lets out a collective wolf-whistle.
The Kalahari is a lonely, dry, and harsh place. Months – and sometimes years – may pass without the hint of rain. When the clouds start rolling in from the North, people will spend many an hour staring at the sky, willing the clouds to become bigger and wishing them nearer. Even the promise of rain is better than an empty sky. That is why, when the two women walk into Boggel's Place, the customers at the counter look at them the way they do when clouds gather on the horizon.
Kleinpiet is first to react. He puts a huge hand over his mouth to stop the nervous giggle, while Kleinpiet tries to look bemused. They have seen that cloud build-up move away to Namibia so many times. They don't want to be disappointed again. Better just to look. Wait. Hope.
"So what are you ladies celebrating? You could have warned us." Servaas is in a foul mood. Bertus, his prize ram, must have eaten something wrong. He has shown no interest in the ewes dor two days.
"You have to order us two ladies some real champagne, Servaas. It is leap year and you may not refuse."
"Yes, and then we'd like you men to treat us like real ladies for just one night. Just one. Be kind and generous and make us feel like women." Precilla takes off the small hat and shakes her hair loose.
"How much is your champagne, Boggel?" Vetfaan has become a successful farmer by watching his overheads carefully.
"I have only one bottle in the pantry. Moet et Chandon. Vintage. That'll be about R600."
"Typical." Servaas downed is beer. "That's the price of one whole sheep. A lamb I caught with these two hands, raised by feeding it properly, treated when it got sick and watched over for a year. Lots of work. Many hours. Now you open a bottle, pour it into a few glasses, and five minutes later we have to cough up the money? I'm out of here." Grumbling his displeasure, Servaas stomps out.
Kleinpiet suddenly remembers that he forgot to turn off the pump at the borehole on his farm. "Jeez, ladies, I would have loved to stay, but if that hole runs dry, I'm in trouble. See you tomorrow."
Boggel stands up a straight as he can, to look Vetfaan in the eye. "Well…?"
And Vetfaan fails the test. He tells them you can buy six bottles of Cactus Jack for that money. A whole week's booze-value for a single round of champagne? No ways. And with him being the only male, paying customer around, it means he will have to pay for it all by himself? "I think I'll go help Kleinpiet. That pump has been acting up lately."
The two ladies and Boggel watch the doors swing shut after Vetfaan left.
"Aw, I'm sorry," Boggel says. "They didn't treat you well tonight, did they?" Then he shuffles to the back to fetch the champagne.
"But Boggel, who's going to pay for it?"
And Boggel laughed. "This bottle was sold a year ago, when the Chinese mapped out the new cellphone network They got so drunk they ordered it, but forgot to drink it. So, it's been paid a long time ago,"
"But you said it cost R600…"
"Of course I did. Just like I knew they'd all chicken out and find excuses to leave. And I hoped I could ask you ladies to join me for a glass of bubbly. Only…now I can't. I'm sorry."
Gertruida is aghast. "Why not? It's been paid for, Boggel. What's your problem?"
"It's leap year, Gertruida. I can't ask you. You have to ask me, remember?"
When Boggel locks up for the night, he whistles a happy tune. He smiles at the predictability of his customers and the happy evening he enjoyed in the company of two special ladies.
Outside Rolbos, on their way to Ouma Snyman, a slightly tipsy Precilla leans over to Gertruida. "Do you really think she'll tell us what it's like?"
Gertruida smiles back at her. "We can only try, Precilla. We can only try."
For a moment Precilla wonders whether she should write a story about the evening; but then they arrive at Ouma's gate and she dismisses the thought. Tomorrow. She'll think about it tomorrow/
And far off to the North, just below the shining orb of the moon, a single cloud starts forming. Maybe, just maybe, it'll bring relief.

|System: 3DS
|Dev: GAME FREAK Inc.
|Pub: The Pokemon Company
|Release: November 18, 2016
|Players: 1-4 Players
|Screen Resolution: N/A
|Mild Cartoon Violence
by Sean Engemann
With a twenty year tenure under its belt, the fact that the core gameplay of Pokemon has gone relatively unchanged and has retained a broad appeal through multiple generations is a testament to the quality of the series. Content additions and tweaks have graced each new entry, but Pokemon Sun and Moon have easily used the broadest brush stroke of feature alterations. The purest Pokemon diehard fans may cling to nitpicky criticisms, but the fresh perspective and simple improvements provide relief to some of the series' redundant foundations. And yet for all the uproar of change, there are still many familiar and comforting elements that should assure lifelong fans they have not been cast aside.
The game starts you off in traditional fashion, as a young boy or girl recently relocated to a new region, with an eager spirit, a flair for adventure, and an innate proficiency at handling Pokemon that catches the eye of the local Professor. After a short introduction to some key characters, you are given the arduous task of choosing your Grass, Fire, or Water type starting Pokemon, and with your mother's blessing are set free to uncover the mysteries of the gorgeous Alola region.
This Hawaiian inspired paradise consists of four main islands. Each contains specks of terrain that match the various Pokemon types, though you are never too far from perky palm trees, golden sandy beaches, and translucent blue ocean waters. The laid back atmosphere permeates into the personalities of the region's inhabitants, with most of the people you encounter infused with vigor and a lust for life. The antagonizing Team Skull could have brought a severe contrast that befits their moniker, but most of the goons who attempt to impede your progress are full of bumbling bluster, with more bark than bite.
You'll find more of a challenge in the Island Trials, the game's major replacement of the Pokemon Gyms of old. Each of the four islands presents a selection of activities that culminates into a marquis battle against the Kahuna of the island as well as Totem Pokemon (essentially regular Pokemon stuffed with steroids). Trials consist of chores such as foraging for ingredients, following clues to solve mysteries, and taking snapshots of Pokemon. It lacks the gladiatorial spectacle of taking on a gym leader to taunt your prowess to the audience, but the varied tasks provide a multifaceted approach which breaks up the linear structure veterans have grown accustomed to.
It becomes apparent early on that Pokemon Sun and Moon pays heavy attention to the narrative, with cutscenes and conversations at nearly every turn. For the most part it is a predictable plot, with a few moments that will surprise and confuse only those who have been spamming the A button through all the text. Despite the vanilla storyline, it still provides some exciting showdowns and introduces a few characters with enough style and personality that I hope to see them in future Pokemon adventures.
Another thing I would like to see going forward in the series is the wonderfully laid out user interface. The breakdown of menu screens is still categorized into familiar headings such as the item screen, Pokédex, and summary pages, but the ease of access in navigating these screens, especially during combat, is a smooth process rather than a time consuming chore. For example, a Poké Ball icon located right on the main touch screen allows you to quickly choose and toss a Poké Ball at a weakened wild Pokemon rather than fumbling through menu screens to grab one. But perhaps the simplest and most welcome addition, especially for newcomers, is the move effectiveness indicators. No longer do you need the encyclopedic memorization of what element types are vulnerable to others. After a single battle against a new Pokemon, your entire move list will indicate which moves are "super effective" and which are not effective at all. This glorious sight persists even when swapping Pokemon mid-battle, allowing you to choose the most valuable Pokemon in your party to tackle the opponent across the field.

This question may be too naive, in which case I apologise in advance. Anyway, it is a well-known fact (see e.g. Milne's notes) that any abelian variety A has only finitely many direct factors up to automorphisms of A. (Here a direct factor of A is an abelian subvariety B for which there exists another abelian subvariety C of A such that $A \cong B \times C$.)
My question is: how much is known about the corresponding question for arbitrary abelian subvarieties, rather than direct factors? That is, is it known whether every abelian variety A has finitely many abelian subvarieties, up to automorphisms of A? If not, what's the best known result in this direction?
I've asked a couple of people about this, and their opinion seems to be that it's "more or less" known. But I would like something a little more concrete, if possible. Any relevant references would be appreciated!

Where's the year going? Spme happy Glen of Imaal Terrier people at the moment. At Deise Show Best of Breed was Poachersmoon Sissy McGinty so (subject to IKC) after waiting 6 years she is now an Irish Champion. Windsor was hot, hot, hot but BOB Golden Spurs and Best Bitch Sigrid Helga at Pantcottage didn't mind the weather. Helga had received her official notification from the Kennel Club that day that she was a Champion so was obviously inspired. Tipperary That Girl was Best of Breed (Daulton's Wild Night of Galore Best Opposite) at both Bushy Run KC shows, plus OHG4, OHG2 and Terrier Group 3, so-again subject to AKC- becomes an AKC Grand Champion.
In Sweden Gleann Ho Ho Hogan was Best of Breed and became a Swedish Champion and at Karjaa National Dog Show Rosears Master of the House was Best of Breed with Marfidal Santa Baby Best Bitch.
German brains this week with My Dear Fellow Batida competing in rally obedience and getting 99 points out of a 100 so obtaining 1st place!
Great going everybody

The early life condition - A translational study of affective and behavioral outcomes and genetic modulation
Main content
Adverse experiences durineg early life are quite prevalent in our society. Individuals who experience stress in early life appear to develop pathologic changes that increase vulnerability to stressful life events in later life, predisposing them to development of multiple forms of (severe) psychopathology. The primary objective of this project is to establish translational research on early life stress with affective, behavioral outcome as well as genetic modulation, with a strong gender perspective.
The secondary objectives are:
- to explore the impact of negative experiences in childhood,
- to explore the impact of positive support as a moderator of risk to develop later anxiety and depression
- to identify high-probability candidate genes which may interact with early life stress making the individual more vulnerable or resilient to later stress experience. The latter point represents an innovative approach to the exploration of genetic vulnerability and resilience of early life stress.

This post took me a little longer to put together than it should have, but seeing as how I now have a two week old son at home, time is a little harder to come by these days! My T-SQL Tuesday topic ended up attracting 4 excellent responses, which I'm very happy to recap.
The first post was from Rob Farley (@rob_farley). Rob has some great insights into text search, but not full-text search. (That's perfectly fine, I left the topic open on purpose and never intended for it to be limited to full-text search.) He tells us all about how collation can affect text searches and can greatly influence your results. Collation matters, folks! If you don't believe me, try Rob's example and you'll see that he's not joking. Rob finishes up talking about how indexes and collation can affect columns included in the GROUP BY clause, and includes a great tidbit on how collation can necessitate transformation of text when calculating hash values.
Next was Kenneth Fisher (@sqlstudent144). He walks us through the query in the header of his blog, which does a bit of text manipulation to create a hidden subtitle. I'll admit I've never tried running that query myself, but the results sure are nifty. Good work, Sir!
Anders Pedersen (@arrowdrive) rolled his own full-text search back in the days before SQL Server supported it. Sounds simple and effective, and if it worked for the business, that's all that matters, right?
Last, but certainly not least, is Jon Morisi. Jon tells us about his experiences with full-text search in terms of migration, and how recent developments in Azure sound most interesting to him. He is hopeful for the future.
So that's T-SQL Tuesday for this month. Thanks to Rob, Kenneth, Anders, and Jon for posting, and to everyone else for reading our work. Thank you to Adam Machanic for dreaming up the idea for this a mere 76 months ago. If you'd like a complete listing of all 76 (and counting!) T-SQL Tuesday topics, Steve Jones has been kind enough to compile one.
See you next month!
