We're really excited to be attending this event next week!
Six graduating Diploma of Graphic Design students from Southern Queensland Institute of TAFE (SQIT) are invoking the power of Mexico's famous luchador wrestlers in El Graphico Slamdown – an event to attract industry attention for their end of course exhibition.
To be held at Toowoomba's Empire Theatre on November 22, El Graphico Slamdown will combine flamboyant showmanship with the spirit of competition.
The exhibition will be coordinated entirely by the students and is expected to attract more than 200 attendees, as part of a wider strategy to gain maximum industry exposure in a tight job market.
"While we are competing against each other to impress the judges and potential employers, we are also collaborating to ensure an unforgettable creation," student Evan Dean said.
Graphic design student Sean Stallan-Stritch, who lobbied hard to get his El Graphico Slamdown theme accepted by the group, anticipates a memorable evening.
"You will see a range of original ideas expressed as hand-made media demonstrating the impact of graphic designs applied to publications, corporate branding, stationery and packaging," Mr Stallan-Stritch said.
Visual arts graduate Jasmine Wrigglesworth said other elements of the installation will include wine labels, digital media and flash animation applications.
"We are putting in a lot of work – late nights and long hours to assemble something professional and unforgettable – based on previous exhibitions but unique and more adventurous," Ms Wrigglesworth said.
The exhibition will also feature the works of eleven first-year Certificate IV in Graphic Design students.

The Genesis Cinema in East London's Mile End Road played host to the premiere of the most eagerly anticipated British film of the year on Sunday when THE KRAYS – DEAD MAN WALKING made its debut.
Stars Rita Simons and Janine Nerissa provided the glamour, both looking stunning as they posed up a storm on the red carpet and then posed for countless selfies with an army of admirers.
Actors Guy Henry, Chris Ellison, Josh Myers and Charlie Woodward all looked great in dapper suits while Linda Lusardi dazzled in a beautiful blue dress. Triana Terry, who plays Frances Kray in the film looked classy in a Paul Smith dress customised by Kokoro London.
Also in attendance were best-selling author Kimberley Chambers, actors Nick Nevern, Steve Wraith, Johnny Palmiero, Sam Kane and actresses Danielle Harold, Vicki Michelle, Rebecca Ferdinando, Rita Ramnani and Louise Fowler. Kady Mcdermott and Myles Barnett packed on the PDAs for the cameras making headlines across the country.
Star Rita Simons and producer Jonathan Sothcott were introduced by Executive Producer Peter Oxley and welcomed a packed cinema to the special screening. The film was incredibly well received and is already a smash hit on DVD, storming the top 10 and flying off the shelves.

An interview with Rob Gee.
Describe your show in five words.
Victoria Times Colonist nailed it: "A mind-roasting bipolar joyride! ★★★★½"
I've counted those star icons as one word, in case you're wondering.
Okay, now that we're intrigued… what's the longer description?
Escaped psychiatric patient Simon Haggerty is not pleased about his diagnosis, even less pleased about being committed, and distinctly upset about being told he is not the reincarnation of an Egyptian Pharaoh. On his way to Egypt, via the 7-11, he stumbles across the nemesis to all his plans: Millie – a six year old with a mouth like a sandblaster. Together they embark on a delightful odyssey that will change their lives forever.
How did your former experience as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital help you create this show?
I first came up with the central character many years when I used to play "a manic patient" for medical students' exams. He was a great vehicle for educating the students. People experiencing a manic or hypomanic episode can be devastatingly articulate, and are therefore delightful – if demanding – to nurse, as long as you keep a good humour, stay firm but sympathetic, and don't take things too personally.
When I was writing Icarus I bounced it off several people I used to nurse back in the day. It couldn't have been written without them!
Your shows about mental health tend to walk a fine line between humour and respect of the topic. How do you manage to maintain this balance?
I think as long as your jokes come from a place of compassion, you can't miss. People don't lose their sense of humour just because they've lost their marbles; in fact people will often come out of a psychiatric experience having used humour as a coping mechanism. Absurdity is something to be enjoyed and celebrated, and we all have our own unique and beautiful ways of being ridiculous, whether we're mentally ill or not.
Icarus is part of a trilogy of shows you've created and performed about mental health. How do the three shows work together and what did you want to say about mental health through them?
The three shows stand alone from each other. Roughly speaking, Fruitcake is from the perspective of a nurse, Forget Me Not is from the perspective of a carer and Icarus is from the perspective of a patient. If there is a message going through them it's this: that psychiatric illness isn't something that happens to other people. It can happen to any of us at any time, so it doesn't make sense to view it as something out of the ordinary.
The 35th Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is August 11 – 21. Tickets go on sale August 3 at noon and will be available at tickets.fringetheatre.ca.

Touat o Tuat () és una regió del sud-oest d'Algèria. Hi ha nombroses hipòtesis sobre el nom, cap de prou satisfactòria. Els seus límits se situen entre el Gran erg occidental al nord, l'erg Chech a l'oest, el Tanenezrouft al sud-oest, i l'altiplà del Tadmaït al sud-est. És un territori amb pluges minses, forta evaporació i vegetació escassa; la flora està adaptada al clima. Tot i així, no és un desert i, fins i tot, és una regió poblada amb nombrosos qsars (localment gsar i plural gsur) d'entre 100 i 200 habitants, una mena d'oasi amb un nom únic (Timmi, Tamentit, Bouda, Tsabit, etc.). La població, els twati, acumula en els ksars els productes i hi comercia amb altres tribus o comunitats (abans, quan passaven les caravanes, i modernament pels comerciants); els palmerars asseguren la producció a petita escala. La població està formada per amazics zenetes (descendents dels gètuls), els més antics, jueus i àrabs. Els jueus van arribar el 118 procedents de Cirenaica, expulsats per Trajà i van viure en pau fins que foren perseguits pel predicador Abd al-Karim al-Marghili vers 1490 (tot i l'oposició dels alfaquís locals) i només van deixar el seu substrat. Els àrabs van arribar al , i eren pastors Banu Makil iemenites.

Història
Els Maghrawa i el Banu Ifran hi van trobar refugi en algun moment quan fugien del poder almohade, al . Ibn Battuta hi va passar el 1353 i és el primer que l'esmenta pel seu nom. Abu-Alí, fill del soldà marínida Abu-Saïd Uthman ibn Yaqub (1310-1331), va sotmetre la regió al primer quart del segle, però sense continuïtat. En algun moment entre 1583 i 1588, el soldà Àhmad al-Mansur va dominar la regió i els oasis de Gourara; encara que, nominalment, la zona va restar sota sobirania marroquina, aquest domini fou totalment nominal. El territori va servir purament com a estació intermèdia d'esclaus, que paraven al Twat procedents del sud abans de ser portats més al nord. El comerç marítim, l'abolició de l'esclavatge i la modernització, van acabar amb aquest negoci al . El tractat de Lalla Maghnia del 1845 entre el Marroc i França no va resoldre la sobirania de Twat, Gourara i Tidikelt. El 1901, les tres àrees havien estat ocupades per l'exèrcit francès i la zona fou anomenada Territoire des oasis sahariennes ('Territori dels Oasis Saharians').

Rock Art in the Green Sahara
The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert, spanning the entire northern part of Africa. Yet it hasn't always been dry – archaeological and geological research shows that it has undergone major climatic changes over thousands of years. Rock art is one of the best records of the life of past peoples who lived across the Sahara. It often depicts extraordinary images of life, landscape and animals that show a time when the Sahara was much greener and wetter than it is now.
Most of the rock art images and information in this video are from the TARA archive and were taken by David Coulson.

The 350 is ready for tomorrow morning. We tried raising the gearing for the last practice and have ended up lowering it again. New tyres are scrubbed in and the wheelbase lengthened to where Cam liked it best.
We have done seven laps without incident and are as ready as we can ever be!
Yesterday afternoon Cam led the parade away on the 1950 Works Norton and was away at speed. The clutch made a big cloud of dust off the line and I was sure it would be all bad, but it was never a problem and came back working fine.
Cam was doing work for the TV production due to screen here later next week, and they equipped him with a microphone which they claimed would let him talk at over 100 mph.
Cam wore a Geoff Duke Replica 1950 "pudding basin" helmet supplied by Davida Helmets. He says the noise from the 6 inch megaphone was incredible, even with ear plugs.
Cam will be writing the story of the lap for magazines and he pressed on right from the start to a good speed. Like Bruce Anstey two years ago, Cam reported that despite being the first "Featherbed" it really didn't need too much to be changed if it was going to be raced and it felt right at home on the Isle of Man circuit.
Michael Dunlop rode a "Bob McIntyre Replica 500 Gilera" with full dustbin fairing and achieved an over 100 mph lap from a standing start, to commemorate the first 100 mph lap 60 years before.
The 500 Senior TT was won by Australian Josh Brookes riding the Paton that John McGuinness has ridden for the last 3 years.
Off to bed for an early start tomorrow.
We were intending to do last nights practice to try higher gearing, but our new 18 tooth gearbox sprocket from the UK agents for Bruce Verdon's gearboxes, was delivered to the house in the morning when no one was here to sign, and spent the entire day doing a tour of the island.
All attempts to rendezvous with the van were rejected and we had to wait until after 6 pm to get it!
As it turned out our practice was stopped following a crash so we didn't miss out anyway.
We fitted our new tyres from Avon and checked everything over. Cam is happy to race "as is".
There is a practice today before the Senior Classic TT so we are OK and Cam gets to lead the parade later in the afternoon on the 1950 "Works". We will fit a nice new ribbed Avon F2 race compound front tyre today to the "Works" as it is a bit worn after Bruce Anstey last rode it here in 2015.
We have a new confirmed rider for Goodwood after the series of top rider "almost coming" was like a soap opera.
It was my first choice, and winner of last week's Ulster GP, Bruce Anstey!!!
Bruce Anstey and Dean Stimpson; Dream Team!
Now, off to the pits!
Cameron Donald is riding really well and did 97.4 mph tonight from a standing start. He was the third fastest 350 cc bike overall! The bike pulled 124 mph on Sulby speed trap, up 4 mph on last night.
The bike is pretty much sorted for the race. We may try raising the gearing again tomorrow just to see the effect.
We are trying to keep the mileage to a minimum as we don't know the component life of a 350.
Kevin Grant and Bob Robbins are here with the two Brittens for Bruce Anstey and Stephen Briggs to ride in the parade lap.
Mrs Sheila Poole, who lives on the Isle of Man. She prepares this 350 Manx for her husband Edward to ride. Sheila ordered two Manx frames off me a couple of years ago, which she said she was delighted with. I sent them by NZ Post and they arrived without any problems. She told me she left them unpainted because she liked looking at the bronze welds.
Another New Zealand bike. This one is a 500cc Manx owned by Dave Kennah and ridden this year by young UK rider James Cowton. It has been ridden by Chris Swallow in previous years. It too has one of our featherbed frames which we made about twenty years ago.
Regular visitor to New Zealand Horst Saiger and winner of the NZ Suzuki Superbike Series is over here from Leichenstein to race this 500cc Egli Vincent.
Neville Wooderson's 500cc BSA Gold Star, which Chris Swallow is riding in the Senior Classic TT. Neville, now in his eighties, rode BSA's and a Matchless G45 on the IoM in the early 1950's and is back again looking for that elusive 100 mph lap. My great friend Dave Morley (owner of a McIntosh Suzuki and a McIntosh Manx) stepped in to help Neville get the bike ready for the IoM.
You can't buy tickets for this view. Only the correct passes will get owners and crew into the holding pits before practice.
Five laps and getting faster!
Cameron Donald had another good ride tonight in perfect conditions. He decided that one lap would be enough to test a couple of adjustments to suspension and gearing with both giving improvements.
We geared up, by reducing the rear sprocket two teeth which took the theoretical top speed from 129 to 134 mph at 9000 rpm, which is pretty damn good for a 350 Manx. Cameron said he was surprised that on a lot of the sections it pulled the same revs as before, and did 120 mph on Sulby Straight Speed Trap, which is on the flat.
On the down hill sections coming off the mountain it was still running up to 9000 rpm so we are looking at trying even higher gearing tomorrow.
Cameron's average speed was again 95.9 mph,the same as yesterdays flying lap, but this time from a standing start! We are still the fastest single.
Fuel consumption was good, and it is still all clean in the breather bottles. We will do another lap tomorrow but are keen to keep the mileage down for the race.
Bruce Anstey unofficially broke the outright IoM 250 cc lap record on the Honda V-twin at 118.812 mph and also topped the Superbikes the 124.888 mph with the V-4 Yamaha.
I spoke to Grant Dalton today, and he ran wide at the Veranda when he ran out of fuel. He lost drive out of the turn and went onto the grass and fell without injury. It was near to where Conor Cummins went down the side of the mountain so he was a lucky boy!
After a very foggy morning with no wind the sun came out and burned the fog away, so practice went ahead. We were away by 7:10 pm and again Cameron went through for a second flying lap and 95.9 mph which was the fastest single.
The bike again returned with no leaks at all and we have decided to raise the gearing to try and get below the vibration period. We tried sponge handlebar grips but Cam reports they are awful to ride with and take the feel away from the bike.
We are going to double check the fuel consumption, try a different gearing and head out today for another practice. We have now done 4 trouble free laps which is the race length. Grant Dalton had a fall of his Classic Superbike without injury.
Weather looks OK for tonight (Wednesday).
The parade will feature over a hundred bikes including established Japanese manufacturers Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha and Italian classics Ducati, Moto Guzzi and MV Agusta.
British marques that will feature in the parade include Velocette, AJS, Matchless, Aermacchi, a Vincent Black Shadow, a number of BSA's as well as a Triton – the Triumph/ Norton hybrid and the Spanish manufactured Bultaco. Among the more unusual parade bikes are a 1960 Weslake and a Rickman Metisse.
2016 Senior Classic TT podium finisher Maria Costello will appear on an R51 BMW, BMW's post war 500 machine, while French rider Bernard Fau, who competed in Grand Prix in the 1970's and 80's will be riding a Yamaha TZ250.
No practice due to bad weather.
The forecast proved correct for Monday with rain starting after lunch and the practice being cancelled soon after.
A thorough check of the bike showed no defects and no loose nuts or bolts. We are going to leave the gearing and suspension settings alone until after the next test as Cameron says he never changes them after a lay off and until he has settled into going nearer to race speed.
Today (Tuesday) is totally fogged in and the chances of a run tonight are not looking good. The forecast for tomorrow is better.
The news from Goodwood is not good as Andrew Pitt has become not available so we are still not certain of who our "star" rider will be. We are working hard on Bruce Anstey and there are plans of kidnap in the air! Anny says she will help!
What is certain is that I have met our Goodwood co-rider, Dean Stimpson and his girl friend Charlotte who are both really nice and both know a lot about Manx Norton's. Dean has just won the 2017 Landsdowne Cup for period classic bikes, so is in top form.
We met Paul Butler who was the top man at Dunlop Racing for years and later for Team Rainey Yamaha. Our good mate Wayne Martin (Skippy), also ex Team Rainey was supposed to come with us as a mechanic but sadly has had to stay in Australia for a knee operation. Skippy recently came and stayed on the IoM with Paul Butler, who lives near the circuit.
Dave Molyneux, TT Sidecar Legend and 17 times winner. The builder of lots of racing sidecars, all in his Isle of Man workshop. He has a corner named after him on the Mountain Course.
Fastest 350 in first practice.
Saturday was the first day of practice and it stayed fine all day. The Manx GP newcomers were away first after a delay while a BMW X5 was towed off the course. Unfortunately the tow vehicle got stuck too!
The roads are closed at 6:00pm and Cameron's session was after 7:00pm. My suggestion was that if the bike was running well to keep going and do two laps.
We were delighted when he went flying through and came back later all smiles. The bike is running fine with all the calculated settings.
The time sheets showed we were the fastest 350 in that session, which is a good start! This may not last as most only did one lap.
The bike came back with everything looking brand new and not a drop of oil on the bike or in the breather bottles.
The only negative being a high level of vibration above 8000 rpm. The safe revs are 9000 and we have a nice wide power band so we have the option to raise the gearing to help. The worst is through the handlebars, which already have end weights.
Cameron is off to find some softer grips to help as 4 laps is very long way. I suspect the Petty frame might require a different crankshaft balance factor as the same Summerfield 81mm bore 350 fitted in a standard Manx chassis, that Nev Bull has ridden in NZ for the last 10 years, has no problems.
The seat sponge has been raised up more than 50mm with padding and black duct tape to give Cameron a better riding position. In the late 1960's people were cutting the sub-frames off standard Norton's to lower the seat and now all the modern riders want them raised!
Cameron tries the new seat padding.
Cameron reported the fueling (carburettion) was "up to the usual McIntosh standards" and the gearbox was really nice too. The front brake needed bedding in causing him to run wide at "The Nook" beside Governors Bridge, causing the marshals to scatter! No harm done and we are hoping for no repeat tonight.
Peter Bloore in the scrutineering line. The seat padding has taken on a new look.
Bruce Anstey with one on his younger fans!
Cameron was impressed with the size of the local onions.
We returned to our pit and checked the fuel consumption which should give us over 2 litres spare after 4 laps, so all good there.
Peter Bloore cleaned the coating of bugs off the front and after a spanner check, the bike will be ready for tonight's practice.

On September 3, 2008 I published this article, First We Kill the Teacher Unions, in the Huffington Post. The article reported on some evidence that the first "labor" President of the 21st Century and his "liberal" friend were going to use teachers as public policy piñatas.
So, was I right? Did I understate the assault on public education and its practitioners by the Obama administration?

Aira (Japan) — September 1980 Cite this Report
During September, 21 explosions were recorded. The highest September ash cloud rose 1800 m on the 7th. Blocks fell on the flanks on several occasions. A 200-m-high incandescent column lasted for 10 seconds on 30 September. No damage was reported from the September activity.
Geologic Background. The Aira caldera in the northern half of Kagoshima Bay contains the post-caldera Sakurajima volcano, one of Japan's most active. Eruption of the voluminous Ito pyroclastic flow accompanied formation of the 17 x 23 km caldera about 22,000 years ago. The smaller Wakamiko caldera was formed during the early Holocene in the NE corner of the Aira caldera, along with several post-caldera cones. The construction of Sakurajima began about 13,000 years ago on the southern rim of Aira caldera and built an island that was finally joined to the Osumi Peninsula during the major explosive and effusive eruption of 1914. Activity at the Kitadake summit cone ended about 4850 years ago, after which eruptions took place at Minamidake. Frequent historical eruptions, recorded since the 8th century, have deposited ash on Kagoshima, one of Kyushu's largest cities, located across Kagoshima Bay only 8 km from the summit. The largest historical eruption took place during 1471-76.
Asamayama (Japan) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Asamayama
Seismicity has increased substantially during the past 6 months, reaching the highest monthly total since August 1977 (figure 2). The number of recorded earthquakes peaked in September, declining slightly late in the month. No eruptive activity was observed, but monitoring was enhanced at Asama's JMA observatory.
Figure 2. Number of seismic events recorded per month at Asama, January 1971-November 1980. The eruptions of February and March 1973 are indicated by arrows at the top. Courtesy of JMA.
Geologic Background. Asamayama, Honshu's most active volcano, overlooks the resort town of Karuizawa, 140 km NW of Tokyo. The volcano is located at the junction of the Izu-Marianas and NE Japan volcanic arcs. The modern Maekake cone forms the summit and is situated east of the horseshoe-shaped remnant of an older andesitic volcano, Kurofuyama, which was destroyed by a late-Pleistocene landslide about 20,000 years before present (BP). Growth of a dacitic shield volcano was accompanied by pumiceous pyroclastic flows, the largest of which occurred about 14,000-11,000 BP, and by growth of the Ko-Asama-yama lava dome on the east flank. Maekake, capped by the Kamayama pyroclastic cone that forms the present summit, is probably only a few thousand years old and has an historical record dating back at least to the 11th century CE. Maekake has had several major plinian eruptions, the last two of which occurred in 1108 (Asamayama's largest Holocene eruption) and 1783 CE.
Asosan (Japan) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Asosan
A brief, weak explosion on 24 September ejected ash to about 800 m above Crater 1 of Naka-dake [after quiescence since the 8 March ash ejection]. The area within 1.5 km of the summit was closed immediately after the explosion but reopened 2 days later.
Geologic Background. The 24-km-wide Asosan caldera was formed during four major explosive eruptions from 300,000 to 90,000 years ago. These produced voluminous pyroclastic flows that covered much of Kyushu. The last of these, the Aso-4 eruption, produced more than 600 km3 of airfall tephra and pyroclastic-flow deposits. A group of 17 central cones was constructed in the middle of the caldera, one of which, Nakadake, is one of Japan's most active volcanoes. It was the location of Japan's first documented historical eruption in 553 CE. The Nakadake complex has remained active throughout the Holocene. Several other cones have been active during the Holocene, including the Kometsuka scoria cone as recently as about 210 CE. Historical eruptions have largely consisted of basaltic to basaltic-andesite ash emission with periodic strombolian and phreatomagmatic activity. The summit crater of Nakadake is accessible by toll road and cable car, and is one of Kyushu's most popular tourist destinations.

Atmospheric Effects (1980-1989) (Unknown) — September 1980 Cite this Report
In the Tucson, Arizona area (32.25°N, 110.95°W), Marjorie and Aden Meinel report strongly enhanced sunset glows beginning 24 August. That evening, silvery, undulate striae, similar to phenomena associated with the 1974 Fuego eruption, were seen at sunset against a glowing background. As the sun set, striae and background passed simultaneously through the same sequence of colors, indicating that they were at the same altitude, calculated by the Meinels to be about 19 km. The striae were not visible the following evening, but the strong background glow recurred and a secondary glow was visible until about 70 minutes after sunset, as after the eruptions of Krakatau in 1883 and Agung in 1963. The glow became fainter on succeeding evenings, but a strong enhancement occurred 16 September and the glow was still nearly as bright several days later. The Meinels believe that the August phenomena were probably caused by material injected into the upper atmosphere by the 17 August eruption of Hekla, while the September enhancement could have been due either to a return of the Hekla material or normal seasonal trends in glow intensity.
In England, H.H. Lamb observed a week or more of reddened sunsets, culminating in a colored ring around the sun seen from Ketteringham, Norfolk before sunset on 12 June. The same evening lidar observations confirmed the presence of a dust veil over Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany (47.5°N, 11.0°W). Lamb saw no apparent abnormal coloring the following week, nor was any observed during the few breaks in bad weather from late June through mid-July. On 14 July, unusual light diffusion in brownish layers above cumulonimbus clouds was followed by a shower that deposited russet-colored mud. Meteorological data suggest transit from the Arctic. By early September, clear skies showed a brownish coloration at sunset and more than usually diffused light around the sun, interpreted by Lamb to indicate a rather thin dust veil.

Bulusan (Philippines) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Bulusan
Only one explosion was reported during September, a mild ash ejection on the 28th at 1155. The summit was covered by weather clouds, but seismographs in the area recorded the activity and villages in the SE sector of the volcano received traces of ashfall.
Geologic Background. Luzon's southernmost volcano, Bulusan, was constructed along the rim of the 11-km-diameter dacitic-to-rhyolitic Irosin caldera, which was formed about 36,000 years ago. It lies at the SE end of the Bicol volcanic arc occupying the peninsula of the same name that forms the elongated SE tip of Luzon. A broad, flat moat is located below the topographically prominent SW rim of Irosin caldera; the NE rim is buried by the andesitic complex. Bulusan is flanked by several other large intracaldera lava domes and cones, including the prominent Mount Jormajan lava dome on the SW flank and Sharp Peak to the NE. The summit is unvegetated and contains a 300-m-wide, 50-m-deep crater. Three small craters are located on the SE flank. Many moderate explosive eruptions have been recorded since the mid-19th century.

Etna (Italy) — September 1980 Cite this Report
The 6 September eruption began at about 0500. Vigorous strombolian activity continued for 10 hours, ejecting bombs to 500 m above the same Northeast Crater vent that had erupted 1 September. Bombs 20 cm in diameter or larger fell as far as 750 m away. A lava flow, extruded from the same vent at a rate of 10-20 m3/s, traveled 2 km to the N, directly over the main lobe of the bifurcated 1 September flow, which extended about 1/2 km farther to the N. Ash fell on the coastal towns of Acireale and Taormina, 20 km SE and 30 km NE of Etna. Observations after the eruption showed the vent completely filled by lava and slumped debris. As of 3 October, no further eruptions had been reported.
Rumbling and deep explosions continued in September from Bocca Nuova. The Chasm remained inactive. Mild strombolian activity at the Southeast Crater stopped in September, with only infrequent gas emission and small collapse events reported.
Tim Sanderson collected gravity data before the 1 September eruption and after the 6 September one. Frequent ground temperature measurements by J. C. Tanguy and associates continue (05:05).

Gamalama (Indonesia) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Gamalama
0.8°N, 127.33°E; summit elev. 1715 m
The eruption continued vigorously into late September. Seven explosions were recorded during the first week of activity, 17 the second week, and 15 the third week. Eruption clouds ranged from about 500 m to 1,800 m in height. Bombs fell as much as 1 km away, most heavily to the N and NE. By early October, eruptions had ended, but seismicity continued, with episodes of volcanic tremor lasting up to 4.5 hours. Most evacuees had returned home, but some small villages in the NE sector red zone remained evacuated.
Kompas newspaper reported that a new crater had formed ENE of the summit. Both the summit crater (two vents) and the new crater have ejected incandescent tephra.
Geologic Background. Gamalama is a near-conical stratovolcano that comprises the entire island of Ternate off the western coast of Halmahera, and is one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes. The island was a major regional center in the Portuguese and Dutch spice trade for several centuries, which contributed to the thorough documentation of Gamalama's historical activity. Three cones, progressively younger to the north, form the summit. Several maars and vents define a rift zone, parallel to the Halmahera island arc, that cuts the volcano. Eruptions, recorded frequently since the 16th century, typically originated from the summit craters, although flank eruptions have occurred in 1763, 1770, 1775, and 1962-63.

51.79°N, 178.794°W; summit elev. 1573 m
USAF pilot Jerry Nelson observed renewed activity from Gareloi during an overflight on 17 September. As he approached the volcano at about 1600, he saw a slight wisp of vapor that grew rapidly into a dark brown ash-rich column reaching about 6 km altitude. The eruption column, which appeared to originate from the E side of the summit crater, drifted slightly N or NW. The activity was visible until Nelson left the area about 10 minutes later.
Geologic Background. The 8 x 10 km Gareloi Island, the northernmost volcano of the Delarof Group at the western end of the Andreanof Islands, consists of a stratovolcano with two summits and a prominent SE-trending fissure. The fissure was formed during an eruption in 1929 and extends from the southern summit to the sea. Steep sea cliffs that are cut into rocks of an older, eroded center are found on the SW coast, and submarine deposits of three debris avalanches produced by edifice collapse are found offshore. Young lava flows cover the older volcano from the summit to the coast along three broad axes trending NW, ENE, and S. The 1929 eruption originated from 13 craters along a 4-km-long fissure. Phreatic explosions were followed by the ejection of glassy pumice, lapilli, scoria, and older blocks, as well as by the emission of four short, steep lava flows, one of which reached the SE coast.

Karangetang (Indonesia) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Karangetang
A seismograph recorded an explosion . . . on 12 September at 0410. The next day at 1140, a cauliflower-shaped eruption column rose 1,200 m above the crater. Similar explosions had occurred on 3 July and three times in August, depositing incandescent tephra over an area 3 km in diameter.
Geologic Background. Karangetang (Api Siau) volcano lies at the northern end of the island of Siau, about 125 km NNE of the NE-most point of Sulawesi island. The stratovolcano contains five summit craters along a N-S line. It is one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, with more than 40 eruptions recorded since 1675 and many additional small eruptions that were not documented in the historical record (Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World: Neumann van Padang, 1951). Twentieth-century eruptions have included frequent explosive activity sometimes accompanied by pyroclastic flows and lahars. Lava dome growth has occurred in the summit craters; collapse of lava flow fronts have produced pyroclastic flows.

Karkar (Papua New Guinea) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Karkar
4.649°S, 145.964°E; summit elev. 1839 m
"Local observers made four inspections of the summit area 8-13 September. They observed small ejections of crater floor material and water from scattered sources in the previously inactive W pool of water at the base of 1979 crater. Small dark ejections continued from the central pool, but a new gas vent was present on the crater floor nearby. The water in the pools was reported to be yellow on 13 September. Vapours rising from 1979 crater were white, and small to moderate in volume. Seismic activity intensified during September. Single volcanic earthquakes became more numerous early in the month and the tremor level showed a general strengthening at mid-month."
Geologic Background. Karkar is a 19 x 25 km wide, forest-covered island that is truncated by two nested summit calderas. The 5.5-km-wide outer caldera was formed during one or more eruptions, the last of which occurred 9000 years ago. The eccentric 3.2-km-wide inner caldera was formed sometime between 1500 and 800 years ago. Parasitic cones are present on the N and S flanks of this basaltic-to-andesitic volcano; a linear array of small cones extends from the northern rim of the outer caldera nearly to the coast. Most historical eruptions, which date back to 1643, have originated from Bagiai cone, a pyroclastic cone constructed within the steep-walled, 300-m-deep inner caldera. The floor of the caldera is covered by young, mostly unvegetated andesitic lava flows.
Krafla (Iceland) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Krafla
65.715°N, 16.728°W; summit elev. 800 m
Continued inflation of the magma reservoirs beneath Krafla had raised the ground level by mid-September to nearly the height at which previous deflation events and eruptions were triggered.
Geologic Background. The Krafla central volcano, located NE of Myvatn lake, is a topographically indistinct 10-km-wide caldera that is cut by a N-S-trending fissure system. Eruption of a rhyolitic welded tuff about 100,000 years ago was associated with formation of the caldera. Krafla has been the source of many rifting and eruptive events during the Holocene, including two in historical time, during 1724-29 and 1975-84. The prominent Hverfjall and Ludent tuff rings east of Myvatn were erupted along the 100-km-long fissure system, which extends as far as the north coast of Iceland. Iceland's renowned Myvatn lake formed during the eruption of the older Laxarhraun lava flow from the Ketildyngja shield volcano of the Fremrinamur volcanic system about 3800 years before present (BP); its present shape is constrained by the roughly 2000 years BP younger Laxarhraun lava flow from the Krafla volcanic system. The abundant pseudocraters that form a prominent part of the Myvatn landscape were created when the younger Laxarhraun lava flow entered the lake.

Krakatau (Indonesia) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Increased activity from Anak Krakatau began in March, when detonations were heard from Pasauran, 40 km away on the W coast of Java. Incandescent material was thrown to 200 m height during a period between 19 April at 2300 and 20 April at 0415, when 200 explosions were recorded. Activity declined after 20 April but continued intermittently through September.
A stronger explosion occurred on 9 September at 0039. It rattled windows and shook houses in Pasauran, and a 3-4 cm-amplitude explosion event was recorded on the seismograph there. Ash clouds reached about 1.5 km altitude in September and explosions continued at the end of the month. The source of the 1980 activity is a new vent that approximately coincides with the 1975 crater and is about 250 m NW of the 1978-79 eruption center.
A research group consisting of a biologist, oceanographer, environmentalist, and volcanologist are studying Krakatau under the auspices of the centennial commemoration of the 1883 eruption. The Centennial Committee invites scientists worldwide to participate in a 3-year period of research at Krakatau.
Geologic Background. The renowned volcano Krakatau (frequently misstated as Krakatoa) lies in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. Collapse of the ancestral Krakatau edifice, perhaps in 416 or 535 CE, formed a 7-km-wide caldera. Remnants of this ancestral volcano are preserved in Verlaten and Lang Islands; subsequently Rakata, Danan, and Perbuwatan volcanoes were formed, coalescing to create the pre-1883 Krakatau Island. Caldera collapse during the catastrophic 1883 eruption destroyed Danan and Perbuwatan, and left only a remnant of Rakata. This eruption, the 2nd largest in Indonesia during historical time, caused more than 36,000 fatalities, most as a result of devastating tsunamis that swept the adjacent coastlines of Sumatra and Java. Pyroclastic surges traveled 40 km across the Sunda Strait and reached the Sumatra coast. After a quiescence of less than a half century, the post-collapse cone of Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) was constructed within the 1883 caldera at a point between the former cones of Danan and Perbuwatan. Anak Krakatau has been the site of frequent eruptions since 1927.

Kuchinoerabujima (Japan) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Kuchinoerabujima
After four years of quiet, a brief, weak explosion produced a [2-3-km-high] ash cloud on 28 September at 0510. Ash fell on the sea [SW] of the volcano, missing the homes of the 12 x 5 km island's 300 residents. Activity after the explosion was limited to emission of white vapor through the end of September. Minor ash explosions have occurred in seven different years since 1966.
Geologic Background. A group of young stratovolcanoes forms the eastern end of the irregularly shaped island of Kuchinoerabujima in the northern Ryukyu Islands, 15 km W of Yakushima. The Furudake, Shindake, and Noikeyama cones were erupted from south to north, respectively, forming a composite cone with multiple craters. The youngest cone, centrally-located Shindake, formed after the NW side of Furudake was breached by an explosion. All historical eruptions have occurred from Shindake, although a lava flow from the S flank of Furudake that reached the coast has a very fresh morphology. Frequent explosive eruptions have taken place from Shindake since 1840; the largest of these was in December 1933. Several villages on the 4 x 12 km island are located within a few kilometers of the active crater and have suffered damage from eruptions.

"Observations of glow and lava fragment ejections from the active vent at Crater 3 were more numerous than in previous months. White and blue vapours were the common emission products, but grey emissions were seen on several days in the second half of September. Rumblings were heard throughout, occasionally augmented by explosive sounds. Occasional brown or grey emissions from Crater 2 were observed, but usually this vent released only white vapours. Seismic activity was reportedly unchanged."
Manam (Papua New Guinea) — September 1980 Cite this Report
"Activity continued at the same level as that of the previous 3 months. Southern crater usually emitted white vapour, but brown, grey, or blue emissions were occasionally seen. Weak rumbling noises were heard on a few days at the beginning of September. Emissions from Main crater were usually white, but grey emissions were seen on two occasions, on 2 and 10 September. No glows or lava fragment ejections from either crater were observed. Seismic activity and tilts were steady."
Semeru (Indonesia) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Ash eruptions were continuing in late September. However, no additional dome growth has been observed, and nuées ardentes have not been reported since January.
Geologic Background. Semeru, the highest volcano on Java, and one of its most active, lies at the southern end of a volcanic massif extending north to the Tengger caldera. The steep-sided volcano, also referred to as Mahameru (Great Mountain), rises above coastal plains to the south. Gunung Semeru was constructed south of the overlapping Ajek-ajek and Jambangan calderas. A line of lake-filled maars was constructed along a N-S trend cutting through the summit, and cinder cones and lava domes occupy the eastern and NE flanks. Summit topography is complicated by the shifting of craters from NW to SE. Frequent 19th and 20th century eruptions were dominated by small-to-moderate explosions from the summit crater, with occasional lava flows and larger explosive eruptions accompanied by pyroclastic flows that have reached the lower flanks of the volcano.

St. Helens (United States) — September 1980 Cite this Report
September activity was limited to slow outward movement of the N flank, minor seismicity, and weak vapor emission. No eruption was associated with the brief earthquake swarm of 4 September, and seismicity was limited to a few very minor events through mid-month. Outward movement of the rampart N of the inner crater continued, averaging 1.2 cm/day 26 August-9 September (in contrast to the 1.5 m/day movement of the N-flank "bulge" prior to 18 May). Several small jets of ash were ejected from a vent near the base of the lava dome on 9 September. Each burst lasted about 30 minutes, but consisted of only a few cubic meters of ash. Weather and instrument problems limited data on CO2 and SO2 emission rates. Early September CO2/SO2 ratios ranged from 4.7 on the 5th to 2.4 on the 9th, with a maximum CO2 emission rate of 5,000 t/d, on the 6th.
Many large avalanches occurred on the crater walls during the afternoon and early evening of 12 September, but no accompanying seismic activity was recorded. Avalanching declined during the night of 12-13 September. Ground deformation measurements indicated that outward movement of the crater's N rampart had slowed to less than 1 cm/day by mid-September. Several radial fissures in the lava dome within the inner crater widened slightly in the 2 weeks since they first developed about 9 September. The USGS believes that this widening was probably related to the N rampart movement. No dome growth has been detected since 11 August, but some incandescent areas were visible on the dome on 23 September. No significant seismic or eruptive activity was recorded in mid-September.
On 24 September at 0917 a gray gas plume rose from the volcano to about 3 km altitude, just clearing the crater rim, then drifted to the S. Vigorous gas emission lasted about an hour, but there was little or no ash in the plume. No seismicity accompanied this event, but low-amplitude harmonic tremor began a few hours later at about 1400. The tremor was intermittent, with episodes lasting from less than a minute to 15 minutes, separated by 2- to 15-minute quiet intervals. Tremor episodes declined in number and duration after about 2 hours, and had nearly ended by 1800. On 26 September, very low-level harmonic tremor began at 0740. Minor steam emission started at 0747, lasting 9 minutes. The tremor ended by 0800. No additional tremor had been recorded as of 30 September. Outward movement of the N crater rim had virtually stopped 24 September, but measurements on the 26th indicated that very slow deformation had resumed. Although rates of outward movement have varied, the average rate for the most active portion of the N flank was slightly less than 1 cm/day during September.
In mid-September, scientists aboard a NASA P-3 aircraft studied the plume at Mt. St. Helens and material remaining in the upper atmosphere from the 18 May eruption. The aircraft left Hampton, Virginia on 17 September, flew S to Georgia, traveled W along the 32nd parallel to about Tucson, Arizona, then continued NW to Portland, Oregon. During this transcontinental flight and the return trip across the northern plains the following week, 2 wavelengths of lidar backscatter data showed a generally consistent broad layer of volcanic material at 14-22 or 23 km altitude. Peak backscatter typically occurred from two levels, 18.5-19 km and about 21.5 km. The lower was usually significantly stronger. Although the 21.5 km peak sometimes approached that at 18.5-19 km, the upper peak disappeared suddenly in certain areas.
Simultaneous data were gathered on two occasions from the P-3 aircraft and NASA's SAGE satellite, once over Sacramento, California and once over Portland. A dust sonde released from Laramie, Wyoming by James Rosen collected information on upper atmosphere particulates as the NASA aircraft made lidar measurements in the same area on its return flight.
Scientists with the NASA-funded Research on Atmospheric Volcanic Emissions (RAVE) project collected a variety of data on the plume from Mt. St. Helens during a 4-hour flight in the NASA P-3 on 22 September. Filter samples were collected and the plume was analyzed directly for SO2, H2S, OCS, CS2, O3, NO, and total S.
A University of Washington-USGS report provided additional information on the seismicity associated with the 7 August explosions and minor ash emission 8-10 August (SEAN 05:07 and 05:08). Harmonic tremor began at 1207 on the 7th, occurring as 10- to 20-second bursts at randomly spaced intervals. Low-frequency events were recorded at 1529 and 1554. At about 1622, records show a gradual increase in tremor amplitude, followed by a large seismic event at 1626:45 that marked the onset of eruptive activity. An ash-laden cloud rose to 13.5 km altitude and a small pyroclastic flow moved down the N flank. By 1730, tremor amplitude had returned to pre-1207 background levels. A series of pulsating ash ejections reaching a maximum altitude of less than 7 km coincided with a gradual increase in tremor amplitude starting at 1910. Tremor amplitude declined substantially by 2045. A second amplitude increase beginning at 2130 was followed by a large seismic event at 2232:22 as a stronger explosion sent tephra to 11 km altitude. Peak tremor levels were similar to those associated with the first 7 August explosion. At 2328, the first of eight 9-11 km-deep earthquakes occurred, all with magnitudes less than 1.7. Tremor amplitudes declined slowly. Between 8 August at 0325 and 9 August at 0129, approximately 18 events similar to large bursts of tremor and lasting 20-130 seconds were recorded. These can be correlated with discrete periods of ash emission. The last significant ash emission event was recorded on 10 August at 0813. No changes in tremor amplitude preceded these events.

Tengger Caldera (Indonesia) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Tengger Caldera
Activity at Bromo cone peaked on 20-21 June when 480 explosions were recorded during a 24-hour period. Ash-laden steam columns rose 1.2 km and bombs fell 1.5 km away, setting vegetation afire. Activity declined in late June and remained weak until mid-July. Frequent explosions resumed 15 July, when about 1,000 were recorded in 24 hours. Explosions remained frequent for more than a week, then declined steadily after 24 July to about one every 48 hours in August. Kompas newspaper reported a minor eruption on 9 September at 0825 and added that tourists were not being allowed to descend to the crater. However, by the end of September, activity had weakened sufficiently to allow tourists into the crater area.
Further Reference. Siswoyo, S., 1978, Report on seismic activity at Bromo and Lamongan (1977-78): Geological Survey of Indonesia, Bandung.
Geologic Background. The 16-km-wide Tengger caldera is located at the northern end of a volcanic massif extending from Semeru volcano. The massive volcanic complex dates back to about 820,000 years ago and consists of five overlapping stratovolcanoes, each truncated by a caldera. Lava domes, pyroclastic cones, and a maar occupy the flanks of the massif. The Ngadisari caldera at the NE end of the complex formed about 150,000 years ago and is now drained through the Sapikerep valley. The most recent of the calderas is the 9 x 10 km wide Sandsea caldera at the SW end of the complex, which formed incrementally during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. An overlapping cluster of post-caldera cones was constructed on the floor of the Sandsea caldera within the past several thousand years. The youngest of these is Bromo, one of Java's most active and most frequently visited volcanoes.
Ulawun (Papua New Guinea) — September 1980 Cite this Report
Ulawun
5.05°S, 151.33°E; summit elev. 2334 m
Australian radio reports that Ulawun began to erupt during the night of 6-7 October. Pilots saw ash "billowing" to about 6 km above the crater during the morning of the 7th. A police spokesman said ash was thought to be falling more than 30 km from the volcano. Police were considering the evacuation of Ulamona Catholic mission, the settlement closest to the volcano.
Geologic Background. The symmetrical basaltic-to-andesitic Ulawun stratovolcano is the highest volcano of the Bismarck arc, and one of Papua New Guinea's most frequently active. The volcano, also known as the Father, rises above the N coast of the island of New Britain across a low saddle NE of Bamus volcano, the South Son. The upper 1,000 m is unvegetated. A prominent E-W escarpment on the south may be the result of large-scale slumping. Satellitic cones occupy the NW and E flanks. A steep-walled valley cuts the NW side, and a flank lava-flow complex lies to the south of this valley. Historical eruptions date back to the beginning of the 18th century. Twentieth-century eruptions were mildly explosive until 1967, but after 1970 several larger eruptions produced lava flows and basaltic pyroclastic flows, greatly modifying the summit crater.

After a long period of fumarolic activity, a series of explosions that began on 19 September at 2200 ejected ash from the main crater. The next morning, a long, dark-colored pyroclastic flow could be seen on the NW flank. On 24 September at 0800 fine ash was ejected briefly, covering Villarrica's snowy slopes.

Between the years 950 AD to 1290 AD, on the Northern border of South Africa, traversing the conference of the Shashi – Limpopo Valley, which today divides Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, existed an ancient African Kingdom, called Mapungubwe. From the Iron Age to present day this unique one-hour film explores the history and tells the story of this remarkable city.
Governed from an impenetrable hilltop, Mapungubwe became the business centre for all of Africa's trade which, by this period, had become well integrated into the world economy and thrived on trade with the East Indian Trade Route attracting traders from as far afield as Persia, Arabia, India and China.
Mapungubwe was inhabited by successive groups of people for this 300 year period until it was mysteriously evacuated. No one knows for sure why, but in 1290 Mapungubwes' inhabitants left taking with them the memories and stories of Mapungubwes' early history. In this film archaeologists and historians take us on a journey through a thousand years of untold African history revealing the controversial discovery of this ancient site and its golden artifacts.

Three of Brandon Blakesley's working dogs made the trip to California with him to search for missing and injured animals.
Brandon Blakesley's first interaction with Cowboy 911 was on Facebook.
The group, which now has 21,000 followers on its page, was using the social media platform to reach out to potential volunteers and donors in an effort to maximize their missions to California where they rescued livestock and other animals after the Camp wildfire in Paradise destroyed entire communities.
"My goal is to try and inform people ways they can get involved," Blakesley said during a phone interview. He had made another trip to California with his three working dogs and his trailer and said the effects of the fire still lingered in the community.
The Camp fire tire through more than 150,000 acres in Butte County, California in the 18 days that it burned before being declared 100 percent contained on Nov. 25. Nearly 14,000 homes were destroyed along with 4,800 other structures, killing 88 people and at one point, more than 1,000 were reported missing.
That number has since dropped to 25.
Cowboy 911 was started by Justin Jones after he ran into an elderly couple with a flat tire. Instead of waiting for help, Jones told local media outlets he thought of all the nearby community members who would have gladly offered help and eliminated a long wait time.
When the Camp and Car fires started, community members turned to Cowboy 911 and the group has since then rescued thousands of animals.
Blakesley, who moved to Cottage Grove in 2012, has rescued all types of animals in his handful of trips to California from horses to dogs to lizards, exotic birds and tortoises. His most memorable rescue was a pair of horses up on a hill when the smoke was still so thick it hindered his vision.
The animals Cowboy 911 rescues in conjunction with North Valley Animal Disaster are housed at the Chico Airport and the Butte County Fairgrounds. Residents missing animals can call a hotline and volunteers work to match animals with their owners.
Locally, Wagon Wheel Feed and Grain in Creswell is working with Blakesley to gather donations for the animals that Blakesley says can go through 40,000 tons of food a day. According to the feed store, it is accepting credit card numbers of the phone of those who want to donate but don't make the trip to Creswell and for those who do, they can drop off donations at the store or purchase feed at the store to be shipped to California. Donations are being sold for the cause at wholesale, rather than retial price, according to the store.
For more information, contact Blakesley at 541-206-8591. To donate, contact Wagon Wheel Feed and Grain at 541-942-4386.

Azure AD have something called Application registrations. These are often used to integrate with external services and can provide functionality like Single Sign On to your companies Twitter account. There's a large selection of applications you can chose from in the Azure Portal, but this post will cover how to create your own application registration using Powershell.
In this scenario we are creating an app that can access Azure Activity Logs, used by our on premise Splunk environment. Since I am doing this across 300 tenants the manual approach isn't feasible.
Now you can run New-AzureAdApplication to create a new app, this example shows the required fields.
New-AzureADApplication -DisplayName "Adatum App Demo" -IdentifierUris "https://localhost/AdatumAppDemo" -HomePage "https://localhost/Adatum"
In the Azure portal we can see our new app registration, but it does not have a service principal, and no API access. If you would have gone through the steps creating the app in the portal it self SPN and a "read basic profile" API permission would be added to your app by default.
This is where I spent the most time. In order to assign permissions to our Azure AD Application we will need to write a bit of code. Applications can be assigned Application Permissions and Delegated permissions. According to the documentation New-AzureAdApplication Cmdlet takes a parameter "RequiredResourceAccess". This again wan't something of 'Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.RequiredResourceAccess' as a generic list. Using my favourite search engine I found that I also needed to construct this object and add multiple objects (the permissions) to it.
Luckily my friend Jan Vidar Elven (MVP) had an example. A sligthly different approach, but here's what I did. My app needed access to Azure Service Management API, manually I added this via the portal and explored the JSON manifest to see what GUIDs was added. Later I found a better solution, exploring the Service Principal (API's) using Get-AzureADServicePrincipal.
which will return something like this.
$AzureMgmtAccess = New-Object -TypeName "Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.RequiredResourceAccess"
AdminConsentDescription : Allows the application to access the Azure Management Service API acting as users in the organization.
UserConsentDescription : Allows the application to access Azure Service Management as you.
$AzureSvcMgmt = New-Object -TypeName "microsoft.open.azuread.model.resourceAccess" -ArgumentList "41094075-9dad-400e-a0bd-54e686782033", "Scope" before you add that permission object to the 'resource access object' created earlier.
We have to create an access key for us to programmatically logging in via the application. Depending on your scenario, you might want to create multiple keys, but in this example I am sticking with one. Just like in the Azure portal you will specify the validity time for your key. The example below will add a key wich expire in one year.
If you want the key to not be activated immediately, set the appropriate date time by using StartDate parameter.
The app I am creating is used to read Azure activity logs. To be allowed to read these logs, the app must be assigned 'Read' permission on the subscription level. To assign a new role, use the New-AzureRmRoleAssignment cmdlet, using ObjectID, RoleDefinitionName and Scope as input parameters.
New-AzureRmRoleAssignment -ObjectId 'SPN objectId' -RoleDefinitionName "Reader" -Scope "/subscriptions/$SubScriptionId"
PS: When you put the complete script together, you will find that the SPN is create async in Azure Resource Manager. Meaning that you will get the output, but the principal isn't created. To get around this in our provisioning I created a while loop. Not the prettiest you will find, but works for now.
Write-Verbose "Waiting for SPN to create"
$addRole = New-AzureRmRoleAssignment -ObjectId $AzureSplunkAdAppAppSPN.ObjectId -RoleDefinitionName "Reader" -Scope "/subscriptions/$SubScriptionId"

Combining Valery Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra to play ballet music is a winner. At the Proms in 2008 they gave an electrifying performance of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty, and this year they produced a superb rendering of Prokofiev's Cinderella.
Cinderella tends to be less well-known than Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, and partly for that reason less favoured on radio broadcasts, but it is a fascinating score, and the LSO gave it their best. In the first act when the fairy godmother appears in her new guise, Gergiev produced a lovely musical sweep into the world of magic where she conjures up visions of the year with its four seasons. And then as Cinderella finally sets off for the ball he rounded the music off to perfection. After a short pause we moved into Act II where they placed brass up in the top gallery for the entrance of the prince and his companions, and as their sound filled the hall and was answered by the orchestra on stage the result was quite unlike anything you will hear in the theatre — it was wonderfully effective! Towards the end of that act the music swelled out strongly for the Prince and Cinderella, before dying away and moving into the waltz-coda, and then the ominous ticking of the clock as midnight approaches.
After the interval came Act III where the Prince searches for Cinderella, and as he finds her the music developed gloriously. After the slow waltz came a ravishing amoroso, ending with a beautiful diminuendo. What a change this was from the Proms in 2011 when Gergiev conducted Swan Lake with the Maryinsky theatre orchestra, who produced the usual boilerplate rendering they had been serving up in the theatre. As I wrote at the time, I longed to hear Gergiev back again with the LSO at the Proms in 2012, and this was it, a world-class conductor with a world-class orchestra — it was a huge pleasure.

Firebird, in concert at the BBC Proms, Royal Albert Hall, August 2010
This concert by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev, had a substantial hors d'oeuvre in Scriabin's Symphony No. 1. That six-movement work, which ends with massive choral forces, was beautifully performed. The soloists, mezzo Nadezhda Serdiuk and tenor Sergei Skorokhodov, both members of the Mariinsky Theatre, sang strongly, and the LSO chorus gave immense power to the finale.
Stravinsky's Firebird followed after the interval. It's a work I have seen danced many times on stage, but here it had an unusually dreamy quality in the earlier part, quite different from the overtly dramatic effect one normally gets with ballet performances. It's interesting to compare it to Vladimir Jurowski's excellent Firebird with the London Philharmonic at the Proms two years ago, which was more in the style of a stage performance. After the dreamily dreary first half, Gergiev built momentum and there was a wonderfully swinging quality to the later part when the prince gets hold of Kashchey's heart in the egg, before breaking it and releasing the princess from Kashchey's magic. Gergiev also produced a very remarkable dynamic range from the orchestra at the end, becoming scarcely audible before building to a huge climax, helped by the dramatic appearance of three extra trumpets on stage left. This was a superb ending that elicited immense applause.

Elektra, in concert with Valery Gergiev and the LSO, Barbican, January 2010
This powerful Richard Strauss opera, scored for an orchestra of over 110 instruments, has a huge dynamic range and needs singers who can rise above the orchestra. This is where Angela Denoke as Chrysothemis did wonderfully well, and I very much look forward to her singing Salome at the Royal Opera in July. Felicity Palmer as Klytemnestra showed just the right mix of uncertainty and determination in her portrayal, and the voices of the three main protagonists — Elektra, Chrysothemis, and Klytemnestra — were very well contrasted. Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet as Elektra showed herself fierce and anguished, but was clearly out-sung by Angela Denoke. For example, towards the end, after Klytemnestra has been murdered and her lover Aegisthus cries out for help, Elektra sings, "Agamemnon hört dich!" (Agamemnon hears you!), but it was weak, and as he is dragged away, Chrysothemis comes in with "Elektra! Schwester! .. ." The contrast could not have been greater — Ms. Charbonnet was no match for the orchestra, but Ms. Denoke rose effortlessly above it. Matthias Goerne sang Orestes, keeping up well with Ms. Charbonnet in their duet, and Ian Storey sang Aegisthus.
But what really made this a terrific evening was the conducting by Gergiev. He gave us wonderfully melodious quiet passages, yet turned on the power when it was needed. The London Symphony Orchestra respond well to his enigmatic hand gestures, and the orchestral playing was beautifully lyrical. The name Elektra means 'shining' — as in the alloy electrum — and Gergiev with the LSO gave us a shining performance.
