Bugs a growing threat to forests, US reports
The bough of a pine tree destroyed by pine beetles is shown amid the fall colors of trees near Keystone, Colo., Oct. 1, 2008. There are about 80 mills in North America that produce at least 1 million tons of wood pellets per year. Pellets are made of recycled wood waste such as sawdust or beetle-killed trees.David Zalubowski / AP

By JOHN FLESHER
Marauding insects have become a leading threat to the nation's forests over the past decade, a problem made worse by drought and a warming climate, a federal report says.
Bark beetles, engraver beetles and gypsy moths are the primary culprits behind a threefold increase in forestland mortality caused by insect attacks between 2003 and 2007, according to a U.S. Forest Service report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
The volume of forests in the lower 48 states killed by bugs totaled 37 million acres during the period, up from 12 million during the previous five years. Millions of additional acres have perished since.
When defoliated trees are added to those killed outright, the acreage significantly damaged by insects since 2003 totals about 50 million — 8 percent of forest area in the lower 48 states, the report says. The victims range from Rocky Mountain pine forests hammered by bark beetles to ash stands in Northeastern and Upper Midwestern states, where authorities have struggled to contain an emerald ash borer invasion.
By comparison, about 13 million acres were scorched by fires during the same period, less than 2 percent of all forest acreage.
Other dangers include overdevelopment, pollution and storm damage. Still, the nation's 751 million acres of forestland have remained "remarkably stable" over the past half-century, says the federal agency's first comprehensive report card on their health in eight years.
"Forests are incredibly resilient, and from an ecological point of view this is how they regenerate," said Rob Mangold, the agency's director of forest health protection. "They go through this cycle of death to produce a new forest. You have to look at things in the long term, although locally there are some really big impacts."
Drought early in the reporting period weakened many Western trees, making them more vulnerable to beetle attack, said Richard Guldin of the Forest Service's research and development arm. Milder winters have boosted the beetles' survival rates and numbers.
"We get enormous numbers of beetles that overwhelm even healthy trees," Mangold said.
Aerial surveys indicate a drop-off in beetle depredation in some parts of the West over the past couple of years, he said. While it's too early to say whether that represents a trend, previous infestations have risen and fallen over time.
The Southern pine beetle killed nearly 28 million loblolly pines in the mid-1980s, but the total dropped to a few million two decades later as the number of host trees declined. Spruce budworm epidemics have broken out in 30- to 50-year cycles, as sections of forest died and regrew.
While little can be done to prevent periodic attacks by native insects, officials say people can help prevent the spread of foreign invaders such as the emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle by refraining from moving firewood. The ash borer has killed tens of millions of trees in the Northeast and Upper Midwest.
"It's a terribly difficult insect and there's still a big effort to figure out the best way to contain it, but we know that firewood is the primary means of spreading that pest," said Mike Philip, pest survey program manager with the Michigan Department of Agriculture.
Fires increased in number and intensity during the period covered by the report. They burned nearly 40 million acres of all land types between 2003 and 2007, up from 25 million during the previous five years. Of the acreage burned from 2003-07, about 13 million were forests.
About 1.7 million acres died from drought and other weather-related events, up from 788,000 acres during the preceding five years.
Although overall acreage has changed little over the past 50 years, the nation's forests also are being weakened by fragmentation from urban and recreational development, which is increasing by about 1.6 percent annually, the report said. Many paper and wood products companies have sold large tracts previously managed for logging and conservation.
"Our nation's trees and forests are the very lifeblood for the clean air and water we all take for granted in this country," Forest Service chief Tom Tidwell said.

Did you know that Plovdiv was to have Bulgarian Versailles?
Bunardzhika is related to Tsar Ferdinand's great dream of a true palace complex
For the people of Plovdiv, the hill was a favorite place for walking probably since ancient times. "The Bunarbashi area is a meeting place for the intelligentsia and the aristocracy," Evliya Chelebi announced in the mid-seventeenth century. This was also later reported. The oldest holiday of Plovdiv is connected with this tradition - the welcome of the sunrise on the first day of May when all the trees are leaved and the winter is finally over. When it was yet dark, families headed to the top of Bunardzhika. The steep path remained until 1932. The hike in the darkness was difficult and tiring, but it was worth the effort - according to the legend, he who welcomed the sunrise, would be healthy all year long and would have good profits. The mayosvane, that is, the welcome of the first rays of the sun, had to be on the very top of Bunardzhika.
The rocks and the flat ground beneath them were crowded with people. After the "capture of the sunrise", everyone descended to the low at today's Ruski Boulevard, where a wide meadow of lush fresh grass stretched. Here, the women ordered rich meals. Only at dusk did everyone pack their things and headed home.
Plovdiv and in particular Bunardzhika Hill are also associated with Tsar Ferdinand's great dream of constructing a large palace complex near the hills. As early as 1892, he liked the place where big parties and balls were constantly held, and a little later he requested it from the municipal government. From there, they knew that if they gave Bunardzhika to Knyaz Ferdinand, they would deprive the city of the priceless good that it had for centuries. However, the decision was made: to donate to His Royal Highness the Knyaz Bunardzhika together with Tsar-Simeon's Garden and a vast area from today's House of Technology to the High School of Commerce and from the House of Technology to Danail Nikolaev St. The palace would also include the preserved forest at the current intersection of Peshtersko Shose and Aprilov Blvd. In 1896 the royal stables were accommodated in Tsar-Simeon's garden, and the following year the decision was confirmed by a second vote. This terrain of hundreds of acres was to become an imposing park with waterfalls and lakes, rare plants and animals, and among it was to grow a Plovdiv Versailles, similar to the palaces left by the French kings. At first glance, nothing could stop the implementation of the project. However, this was not the case - the property owners strongly opposed their alienation. Trials began, which lasted until 1912. Thereafter, three wars ensued, and in 1918 Tsar Ferdinand was forced to leave Bulgaria. This way, Plovdiv lost its Versailles.

Angelina Jolie as director seemed a bit dubious, but the Coen brothers as writers balances that out.

Sales in Printing and Imaging
the ultimate complication of the sale is realized in a full MPS engagement, which will include a full fleet assessment, zero-based recommendations for multiple product segments and business processes, workflow and fleet management solutions, contracting and implementation planning. Even for the smartest and most experienced sales rep (and client decision maker), the task has grown to be too much for any one person.
By Doc for The DocuMentor | March 21, 2012 -- 06:29 GMT (23:29 PDT) | Topic: Printers
Doc remembers when sales of printers and multi-function devices were handled by traditional sales people out on the road making calls and signing contracts. That is still the case in many situations, but the sales cycle and complexity of today's networked printers has changed the nature of sales.
Rob Sethre, a senior consultant for Photizo Group, has a new report out on the nature of sales in the printing and imaging world.
Sales in the printing and imaging space have always been a complex challenge. Regardless of the product segment, printers or MFPs, the sales rep always had a lot to deal with. Even the ''simplest'' sale – a single device – required a great deal of knowledge and persistence.
Historically, copiers and printers both had lengthy feature sets that needed to be explained and justified. In addition to the core product specifications (the famed speeds and feeds), copiers had additional offerings: zoom features, creative functions and finishing options. Then came the networking and printing capabilities, color and more. Printers had fonts, forms, drivers and processor performance, as well as PCL and PostScript compatibility. And more.
Amazingly, a single salesperson held much of this information. Those experts knew their products intimately, literally climbing inside each newly launched model to ensure the best possible understanding of every feature and physical detail. Those sales reps prided themselves on their independence, navigating the sale from the earliest demos to the final financing and even into the installation phases.
On the client side, there was often a similar situation: many times, a single person would evaluate the offerings and make a purchase decision. Even though the MFP or printer sales reps typically were talking to different people (procurement or IT, respectively), a single point of contact was often sufficient, even in large organizations. Those end-user decision makers mirrored their vendor counterparts and knew the products, pricing and competition inside and out. The point-to-point sale and sales relationship was very much the norm throughout the industry.
There have been several intermediate developments, as more solutions were added to the offerings and as sales efforts began to address specific applications and vertical markets. Yet the ultimate complication of the sale is realized in a full MPS engagement, which will include a full fleet assessment, zero-based recommendations for multiple product segments and business processes, workflow and fleet management solutions, contracting and implementation planning. Even for the smartest and most experienced sales rep (and client decision maker), the task has grown to be too much for any one person.
For the full report from Rob you'll have to become an MPS Insights Pro member, which carries the hefty price tag of $399. Doc will leave it to you to decide if that's worth the price of admission, though he does know there are lots of good articles and reports made available to Pro members.

Samos Island | Local Economy
Tourism & Services
Tourism in Samos started developing in the 1960s mainly in the areas of Pythagorio, Kokkari and Agios Konstantinos. In the late 1980s, it expanded throughout the island, and mainly to the coastal regions. Today, there are remarkable accommodation facilities and the quality of services is constantly improved following modern trends and standards.
Turism has great potential for further development and there are plans for new investments to attract visitors with an emphasis on the network of mountain villages, experiential activities, culture, gastronomy and nature. Cruise tourism and connection with the coast of Asia Minor are currently being developed, as Samos becomes the new trend for visitors from Turkey. Many Europeans choose the island for permanent residence. They invest in new property or renovate old buildings, contributing to the preservation of the local architecture.
The International Airport "Aristarchos of Samos" is a modern and safe airport that serves many domestic and international flights.
In Pythagorio, there is a marina for 235 vessels with modern infrastructure and services. The two main ports of the island, in Samos (Vathy) and Karlovasi, connect the island with central and northern Greece (Cyclades, Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Kavala) and neighbouring Turkey. The port of Pythagorio is connected with the Dodecanese and Turkey. You can find smaller ports and boat havens in some seaside settlements like Kokkari, Agios Konstantinos, Ormos Marathokampos.
Agricultural Production & Crafts
Since antiquity, Samos has been a rich and self-sufficient island, influenced by the topography, the soil composition and the abundant fountains. The fertile Samian earth produces products of exceptional quality.
Muscat wine, Samos designation of origin, is produced from the grape "Small-berry (Mikrorogo) Muscat of Samos" which is cultivated in terraces, up to an altitude of 900 metres. Its distinctive features are the rich aroma and the full, fruity taste. The Samian wine is renowned since antiquity and mythology mentions that the vine was a present from Dionysus to Samos.15th century travellers refer to wine making as the main processing activity of the island at that time. Since the late 19th century, international markets are supplied with Samian wine, while the Catholic Church obtains it for the Eucharist. Dry and sweet wines produced by the Union of Winemaking Cooperatives of Samos are awarded with dozens of gold prizes and hundreds of distinctions.
Samian Olive oil of exceptional quality stands out for its mellow taste, its clarity and texture.
Honey, with unique flavours, textures and rich aromas, thanks to the various aromatic herbs and trees. Pollen, propolis and royal jelly are also produced.
Ouzo is one of the most famous and traditional distillation products of Samos. It stands out for its special flavour and aroma of anise. Souma is another traditional distillate, similar to raki. It is made using grape marc in traditional family distilleries of mountain villages.
Orchids have been cultivated since 1980 in several varieties, and are exported worldwide.
Herbs & essential oils of superior quality are cultivated on the island and used not only for their beneficial properties, but also in cooking.
Other local products include the loom woven textile, the green soap, figs, raisins, dairy products (cheese and yoghurt), trachanas, sweetened fruit and jams, vegetables and citrus fruits, fish and seafood.
Development of traditional folk art in miniature crafts and silverware takes place alongside the economic growth of Samos. Elaborate gold and silver jewellery are displayed in historic collections, like the one hosted at the Ecclesiastical Byzantine Museum of Samos.
In addition, there is intense artistic activity in metalworking, decorative arts, sculpture in wood and stone, great samples of which one can find mainly in old manors and public buildings.
The art of pottery is well-known and developed since antiquity. Beautiful ceramics are made in traditional and contemporary style, in workshops, mainly in the villages of Mavratzaioi, Koumaradaioi and Manolates. A typical vase is the so-called "Fair Cup" which, according to tradition, Pythagoras taught equal treatment. The cup interior is marked with a line limit and if it is filled beyond that, then the entire liquid content is instantly drained.
Traditional Shipbuilding
The art of shipbuilding flourished in Samos since ancient times, with the seaworthy "Samena" biremes. Samian pine trees "pinus brutia" were in great demand and supplied with wood shipyards throughout Greece and provided the main construction material for local hulls.
For many years the islanders lived inland, away from the coast, hiding from pirates and shipbuilding recovered in the 17th century. Shipwrights used to design and build remarkable ships, like "karavoskara", "martigo" and "latinia".
The development of shipbuilding with modern methods and materials reduced the need for wooden vessels. Today, just a few shipyards are still in operation [tarsanades], mainly building & repairing fishing boats "trechantiria".

Check out how he keeps his enthusiasm going in the Q&A below.
How did you get into the music business, specifically marketing and artist development?
I started like most people: I was in a thrash band. We played from Virginia up to Maine. We didn't get signed, [and] then you couldn't really press your own album. The cost in the '80s was just extremely expensive. So I went back to college. From there I started to program the radio station on campus, WQCC. It's really one of the only ways to really learn record promotion. In order to be effective, you have to know it from both sides of the fence.
I see some label nationals that never programmed before. It's not that they do a bad job, but you really need to understand the inner workings of programming. Without that, a little bit of brains and the gift of gab, you'll never make a good promo guy.
I worked my way through college so I wouldn't have a huge student loan. So I spent 4 years part-time working for CMJ. I also worked part-time at the famed Combat In-Effect Records in Hollis, Queens. It gave me the basics on what and what not to do. One too many up-and-coming industry executives kill their own careers before [they] start. It's not rocket science; they just can't seem to figure out the system.
Today, [Skateboard Marketing] has two people on staff. One of the perks is we buy lunch every day. I also pick the staff up at the train station in the morning, and then take them back at night. You have to take care of your staff. It's another adrenaline rush just knowing you have to get your people in place.
What bands are you most proud of your work with and what are some of your greatest accomplishments in artist development?
We handle records for all the majors and most indie labels. We started working with L.A. Guns, Doro & The Almighty first in 1991. Then we came on board with Mötörhead, Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Testament, Overkill and Anthrax. We also worked with AC/DC, Morbid Angel, Soilwork, Arch Enemy and Dream Theater. Skateboard Marketing's roster is pretty large. But one of the most satisfying artists to work with was Nothingface. We had them as an unsigned artist with the first EP. They moved on to TVT Records and made a big nitch on the metal scene. The band crashed on the floor of my living room for the first tour. It's rough for new artists just getting out on the road. I love those guys.
What artists have been the most challenging or rewarding to work with?
Mötörhead, Ronnie James Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. All five are legendary bands, so they do work themselves in some sense. But you need to be on top of the syndicators and major market stations. You would not believe that there are some stations that refuse to play any of them. I'm not shocked by it, but it really doesn't make a lot of sense. But at the end of the campaign, you have a gold or platinum plaque for your wall, plus a good feeling of achievement. There is nothing better than getting up in the morning and hammering the phones. It's all about getting results. Anybody can just call or email a station. But to have the working relationship and get it done—that's what it's all about. Make it happen! Then you look at Overkill, Exodus and Testament, three more great bands that will never get any respect on commercial radio, outside of the commercial metal shows. They all sell out venues and the fans love them. It's a beautiful thing. Plus they are all awesome to work with.
Could you continue on doing what you do if you were told you couldn't swear anymore?
Fuck no! I'll swear as much as I want! They can deal with it and like it!
What album(s) did you get and have your mind blown to the point you knew it was going to explode?
One new band I totally dig is System Divide on Metal Blade. I am way into Soilwork and Lacuna Coil. They have a little of both mixed in. I think the vibe they have is really cool. I am also totally digging the new Warbringer. It's traditional just like Evile and Bonded By Blood. Plus Generation Kill with Rob Dukes from Exodus. It's another great album. I am all about the thrash.
You have personal relationships with some artists, would you say they're some of the greatest sources of inspiration for you to continue what you're doing—relationships that go beyond music?
Yes and no, all forms of music inspire me. But the one thing that's most important is I love what I do. I am really into getting up in the morning and working records. I live for getting on the phones and making something happen from nothing. That's really what the gig is all about. It's an adrenaline rush for me. If you like what you do, then you will never have a problem going to work. You also have to know how to treat people. It's something I learned early in my career.
One big inspiration I have, which sounds really silly, is Tony Iommi's water bottle. I picked him up at the airport, took him to a few syndicators for interviews. He fell asleep in the back seat of my car and forgot his water bottle on the floor. It sits on top of my refrigerator. It may sound silly, but its great memories of what you've done will inspire you too. But one thing is for sure, you learn who your friends are really fast.

Blooming tabebuias and drooping jacarandas

Bangalore Talkies: Blooming tabebuias and drooping jacarandas
Shoba Narayan on the lesser-known side of Bengaluru—a city of nature lovers, tree huggers and flower peckers (the bird, not the human)
Have you seen 'Wild Karnataka', the film? It just won the national award, even though as one naturalist, rather snarkily, said, "It should have been called Wild Kabini—not Karnataka."
That's the thing you see. Not many people know this but Bengaluru is a city of nature lovers, tree huggers and flower peckers (the bird, not the human). They hike to Rangaswamy Betta, Savandurga, Nandi Hills and many of the rocky outcrops that are part of the Precambrian Deccan Plateau upon which Bengaluru sits. At 3,000 feet, Bengaluru is as high as Caracas and shares its temperate climate. Its citizens take the natural bounty available to them almost for granted.
Calling Bengaluru an IT city is both true and a disservice to the state that it is the capital of. Subsumed by the startups and tech businesses that have made Bengaluru famous, Karnataka abounds in wildlife. Beyond the Bandipur, Kabini and Nagarhole national parks, which are justly famous for their tigers, leopards and elephants, there are the Kali Tiger Reserve and Kudremukh peak. The magnificent Western Ghats traverse this state. Botanical artist Nirupa Rao illustrates the trees of the Western Ghats in her book by the same name. Wildlife filmmakers like Amoghavarsha and Sandesh Kadur chase frogs, tigers, wild dogs and the wild Kali river all in one film. Shaaz Jung has immortalised the black panther in his photographs and Rohini Nilekani sings its paeans in her writing. So please, don't call Bengaluru just an IT City. Walk through its avenue trees and change your mind.

This month, the tabebuias are blooming everywhere, pink-faced and blushing in their beauty. Jacarandas—plump and violet—droop over the streets and fall to the ground. As the short summer wanes, gulmohars will flower. Fragrant millingtonias that look like long jasmine buds will attract barbets and orioles, mynas and busy sunbirds that will dip their beaks into bud. The flowering trees of Bengaluru are the subject of TP Issar's books and naturalist Karthik's excellent journal that you can read at wildwanderer.com.
Several folks contributed to the flowering trees of Bengaluru ranging from a dynamic forest officer SG Neginhal, who worked with former chief minister Gundu Rao to increase the number of trees in the city. But if I had to pick, I would pick a German and a Sultan for changing the landscape of the city. In 1760, Hyder Ali, who was generally "rough and tough" to use a Bengaluru phrase, was so enamoured by the Mughal gardens that he set aside 40 acres to create a park called Lalbagh. His son, Tipu Sultan, added 30 more acres. The British tripled it.
Today, Lalbagh sprawls over 240 acres in Jayanagar. The routine is that you walk or jog in the morning and repair to a darshini or MTR for a filter coffee and thindi (tiffin) after. Every second Sunday, a birdwatchers' group gets together in the morning to spot flycatchers and shrikes. Ecoedu.com regularly organises educational walks that focus on the countless creepers and other quirky plants that make their home in Lalbagh. But the thrill of Lalbagh for geologists is that just beyond its main entrance lies a three-billion-year-old Peninsular Gneiss, one of the oldest in the world.
It was a German horticulturist who took Hyder Ali's vision to near-poetic heights. Handpicked by Maharajah Krishnaraja Wodeyar to landscape the palace gardens, Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel left his stamp all over Bengaluru. It was Krumbiegel's idea to flank the boulevards with sequentially flowering trees: red silk cotton in January, pongams in February, pink tabebuias and purple jacarandas in March, Cassia javanica in April, scarlet gulmohar in May, pink bauhinias in June, rain tree in July, Colvillea racemosa in August, golden cassia in September, Amherstia in October and November, and fragrant white millingtonia in December. Then there are the Nagalinga flowers, which enshrine what looks like a Shivalinga, that flower through the year.
For me, the pleasure of Bengaluru is its trees. Upright and noble, they offer shade without discrimination. They allow you to pause and ponder under their life-giving arms. And, they are the lifeline of what will now become the catchphrase, Wild Karnataka.
This state advertises itself as "One State Many Worlds." It isn't nearly as catchy at Kerala's "God's Own Country," but probably more accurate. Where else can you go white-water rafting on the Kali river, or climb Kudremukh peak, or visit the place where coffee originated (Baba Budangiri). Bengaluru is a hub, not just for IT but for many worlds, as it were.

There is something enchanting about the vocalastic melismas of this album that open it up to a wider circle of listeners that simply want to cruise through an album. Thana Alexa's record, Ode To Heroes has been remarkably well put together. It is intelligent in an unself-conscious manner. This is a disc with intriguing slants on music that we certainly know from elsewhere and in other manifestations and incarnations and the connections are explained in the booklet-notes. But it also contains "Ode To Heroes," an original work by Ms. Alexa, whose credentials as a composer have been immediately established to earn it a distinguished place in the programme. But this song does not define the whole album. There is much more to go through and I do just that. My listening completed, I thought to myself: this has to be one of the finest vocal albums released this year.
The album has done its job and I am duly impressed. It is frank and engaging. It is the work of an empowered singer who truly believed that nothing here would be of secondary importance. Thus stripped—or, in this case, embellished—you can tell, right from the first bars of the first tune that interpretational fervour is of high priority here. This is a hunch that is magnificently borne out not only by the title song, but a host of others here. "The Wanderer", a take on Charles Mingus' "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and Paul Desmond's "Take Five" come immediately to mind. The incisive cut and thrust of this beautiful soprano, whose singing you might say, informed of the equivalent of gorgeous colouratura—is matched by the equally intense contribution of the band. Although there are many luminaries, including the celebrated drummer and husband of the vocalist: Antonio Sánchez, the saxophonist Donny McCaslin and the ubiquitous Lenart Krecic.
Tempi are swift throughout and where appropriate, swift but never reckless. Sometimes there is ominous aggression built into the songs. This could be a feminist sort of thing, but it is attractively cast in blood-edged clouds that is darkly thrilling especially because of the donner und blitzen of Antonio Sánchez's drums and cymbals sounding away as if rallying the troops to a ferocious musical attack. But that is not all we hear of Thana Alexa. Inevitably the music živahni melts into passion, both quintessentially mingled into the lyrics and where written by Ms. Thana, in the music as well. All this indicated that the singer is also full of reflectiveness, longing and lost love or childhood innocence. Here Feminism gives way to femininity. And that is always an attractive aspect in a woman.
Despite the suggestion that Alexa Thana may be 'foreign', Her English songfulness is sublime. Her tone is sweet and gently rounded, and best of all, her diction is crystal-clear, her phrasing always thoughtful. Spinning a rapt, sustained line, she movingly catches the twilit melancholy in songs where sadness is required, aided and abetted by the ever-sensitive musicians who surround her. Her loveliest performances are defined by floating, ethereal music that soars above the arrangements with not only diaphanous accompaniment, but also provocative tempi. I hardly need add that Joe Locke's short note is as discerning and illuminating as the singing.
Track List: Ode to Heroes; Trace Back Your Footprints; Ghost Hawk; Groove Tune; Siena; In a Mode; When Evening Comes; The Wanderer; take Five; M's Lullaby; You are not Alone.
Personnel: Thana Alexa: vocals; Lenart Krecic: tenor saxophone (2, 3, 4, 6 ,7 & 9) and vocals (2); Sergio Salvatore: piano (1-11), Fender Rhodes (1) and vocals (2); Jorge Roeder: bass (1-6, 8 & 9) and vocals (2); Antonio Sanchez: drums (1-9 & 11) and vocals (1 & 2); Donny McCaslin: tenor saxophone (1); Scott Colley: bass (7); Christian Rafalides: vibraphone and vocals (2); Jason Disu: trombone (3 & 6) and vocals (2); Carter Yasutake: trumpet (3 & 6) and vocals (2); Jonathan Lindhorst: alto saxophone (3 & 6) and vocals (2); Bario Boente: keyboards ( 2, 3, 4, 6 & 11).

Home Artists - L to Z Artists - R Rabbit
Formed in 1973 in Newcastle (NSW, Australia), Rabbit were originally a three-piece band playing covers of songs by artists such as Alice Cooper, The Who and The Move
Greg Douglas joined as lead vocalist in 1974 but was replaced by Dave Evans in October. Evans had just been ousted from AC/DC and had a reputation as an outrageous and theatrical frontman, renowned for his "rampant heterosexuality".
The band now adopted a thundering brand of commercial glam/boogie (similar to KISS), adorning themselves in silk shirts, spandex leggings and platform-heeled boots.
Their shows now climaxed with drummer Phil Screen's spectacular demonstrations of fire-breathing.
Rabbit moved to Sydney and soon rivalled Hush in the Glam Rock stakes.
Signing to CBS, the group released a self-titled album which produced two singles – Lady La Di Da (October 1975) and Running Bear (December 1975). At the same time, the line-up extended with the addition of Dave Hinds on lead guitar.
The second Rabbit LP, Too Much Rock 'n' Roll, provided arguably the pinnacle of Australian Glam Rock and produced the singles Too Much Rock 'n' Roll (February 1976) and Wildfire (July 1976). The band promoted the songs on Countdown (the Aussie equivalent of Top Of The Pops) and embarked on an Australia-wide tour with the Ted Mulry Gang.
Founder members Mark Tinson and Phil Screen left the band early in 1977, with only Screen being replaced (by Barry Litten) and the group continuing as a four-piece. They issued a further single (a cover of Paul Revere & The Raiders' Let Me), but by the end of 1977, they were on shaky ground.
Evans left in October and Jim Porteus rejoined Tinson and Screen, recruited guitarist Peter De Jong, dispensed with the glam clothing and re-named the group Heroes.
Heroes returned to Newcastle and became the city's top rock attraction, also having the honour of being the last band to ever play at the town's Star Hotel – the controversial closure of which sparked off the rioting immortalised in the Cold Chisel single, Star Hotel. Tinson and Screen went on to join Swanee in the 80s. Dave Hinds joined Sydney band Finch.

UCU Scotland today welcomed a call for the government to protect universities and colleges from the financial impact of the current health crisis.
The union was commenting on a report from an independent advisory group set up by the government to advise on Scotland's economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, which called for an 'education-led recovery' and urged the government to learn the lessons from previous austerity measures that it says failed too many workers and their families.
UCU's Scotland official Mary Senior said: 'The report is right to call for protection for universities and colleges from the financial hit of the pandemic. We need all our education establishments firing on all cylinders if they are to lead our recovery.
'The government must heed the report's warnings about repeating the mistakes of the past with austerity measures that increased inequality and failed all too many workers and their families. The advisory group and the Scottish government need to use their influence to get the UK government to use its additional fiscal levers to support the post-16 education sectors across the UK.'

La medaglia del Montenegro fu una medaglia militare conferita dal sultano Abdul Aziz ai soldati dell'impero ottomano che presero parte alla guerra ottomano-montenegrina del 1861-1862 sotto il comando di Omar Pascià.

Insegne
La  medaglia consisteva in un disco d'argento riportante sul diritto il tughra del sultano ottomano con la frase araba "Con l'assistenza del Dio altissimo, Abdulaziz Khan, sovrano dell'Impero ottomano", il tutto posto sopra una mezzaluna ottomana. Sul retro si trovava la raffigurazione di un paesaggio del Montenegro con montagne e un cannone puntato, il tutto sovrastato dalla bandiera ottomana issata su un'asta. Sotto il tutto si trova un cartiglio con la scritta in arabo "Karadag" (Montenegro) e la data 1279 (1863 dell'era cristiana).
Il nastro era rosso con una striscia verde per parte.

Write atomic data transformations using simple python callables.
Connect them in a directed graph.
Bonobo is a lightweight Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) framework for Python 3.5+.
It provides tools for building data transformation pipelines, using plain python primitives, and executing them in parallel.
Bonobo is the swiss army knife for everyday's data.
Use built-in extractors (CSV, JSON, XML, XLS, ...), official add-ons (SQL), or write your own.
Apply changes using simple python, or provided transformation classes.
Use our built-in writers (CSV, JSON, XML, XLS, ...) or connect to your custom services.
Tired of learning new APIs?
You'll be up and running in 10 minutes, if you know some python.
Each transformation has a specific, unique, small and scoped purpose (think UNIX), enhancing testability and ease of maintenance.
It's just python ! We worked hard to provide a clean API, using the standard data structures you already know.
The smallest building blocks of Bonobo scripts are plain old python objects. Anything callable (or iterable) can be used as a node.
Bonobo provides the tools to combine the nodes in graphs, visualize the structure and execute them efficiently.
Run your job, sit back, relax.
Bonobo processes the data as streams of independent rows.
Each node handles one line at a time, but the nodes run in parallel.
Use the command line interface and watch live and detailed statistics.
It's easy to design your graph according to your business requirements.
Bonobo is just a minimalistic toolkit to help you build ETL jobs.
Use bonobo.config to create parametrizable classes that will get configured at runtime with options and service dependencies, or use built-in transformations to work with usual file formats and operations.
Clean, readable and easy to test!
... and use it on your graph!
You just built your first reusable block, now just create instances of this class in your graphs, eventually overriding some parameters.
Once again, it's just python so you can bundle your blocks in modules or packages, as you would do with the rest of your codebase.
Official bonobo-sqlalchemy extension, still in alpha/preview, allows to connect, extract and load data from and into popular SQL databases.
Bonobo uses plugins to display status of an ETL job while and after it runs. It will autodetect if you're working in a Jupyter Notebook and use an HTML widget to display live status.
Although Bonobo is a code-as-configuration framework, you can use the built-in inspector to output a graphviz description to visualize and/or document your ETL jobs.
The simplest transformations are conversions from one to another format. Bonobo's CLI bundles a convert command that does just that.
The official bonobo-docker extension can be used to build and run ETL jobs within Docker containers.

Some companies provides us with with free services, and this section is there to thank them.
We can do Bonobo-related consulting.
Sentry provides Bonobo a free account to test our integrations with their systems, allong with monitoring our systems. Check'em out, they're awesome!
RedmineUp allows us to use their plugins to manage our redmine instance. If you're serious about Redmine, they have great tools for you !
Is your company willing to help?
We're looking for funding, contributions, and basically anything that can make Bonobo better.
We believe Open-Source software ultimately better serves its user. However, please note that creating good code is time consuming, and that contributors only have 24 hours in a day, most of those going to their day job.
Except in some rare cases, most of the coding work done on Bonobo ETL is done during free time of contributors, pro-bono. Please keep it in mind when asking for help or for features.
The best and quickest way to get a missing feature out there is to contribute.


Backing up your data is one of the most basic things every user on any level should do if you want to avoid losing your precious data in case something happens to your computer. Whether you are an advanced user or a novice PC user one should learn the basic ways of backing up you most important files and other important documents.
These files could either be as simply a photos, music, videos and other documents, or these files could be related to your job, or business, those spreadsheets or reports, or PowerPoint presentations that could make or break your business or something that could either boost you in your attempt to climb up the corporate ladder or fall down into unemployment.
Thankfully, for something that can make a big effect, backing up your important data and documents is fairly easy. You can either do this by yourself, by copying and placing these files on another partition, or on another hard drive, on an external hard drive, a thumb drive or you can even save it on to the cloud.
For the novice user, this could be tedious and you would need another hard drive or you need to buy a new thumb drive or even pay a fee for having an ample amount of space to save your back ups on the cloud from cloud services.
Then there are tools out there to help you manage your files and help you create backups for them easily, tools such as the EaseUS Todo Backup.
It's a very efficient system & data backup and recovery solution that is very easy to use that users of all levels will be able to work with it with relative ease. Your computer running windows already has a free computer backup software built in to the system, you can find it in the system tools from the accessories menu.
With that tool you can choose on what to back up, you can also select to backup only your documents and settings, other user's documents and settings or all the information inside your computer. The difference using the EaseUS tool is that the tools offers more than the built in back up tool in windows, it has more back up tools, you can compress the backed up files for better space management, clone your disk, back up to a different partition that is either FAT or NTFS and many more.
If you still can't decide to use the windows built-in backup system of use and pay for a more efficient and feature packed back up software, you can try out and use their free backup software that you can try out for no cost at all. Even though it's free, it's a safe and reliable backup & disaster recovery software for home users, it's very simple to use and you will be able to back up your photos, music, videos and other important files for free. This tools even lets you create a clone of your disk in case your whole drive goes out or if you get a new computer and you would like to migrate all of your files and settings from your old PC to your new PC with relative ease.
