First Minister welcomes CityFibre's drive to bring full fibre to Glasgow
Nicola Sturgeon has welcomed the recent announcement that Glasgow is to benefit from CityFibre's rollout of full fibre to homes and businesses across the city.
The rollout is underway in several sites south of the River Clyde and will build on the digital infrastructure CityFibre has deployed in the city over the last few years in partnership with Glasgow City Council.
CityFibre's investment will help fulfil Glasgow's bold ambition to be one of the world's best-connected cities and represents one of Europe's largest city-wide full fibre roll outs.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The fact that CityFibre is making its biggest investment to date here in Scotland is effectively a vote of confidence in our approach to digital connectivity.
"Everyone should be able to access the fastest available broadband which is why this announcement by CityFibre is extremely welcome, not least for the jobs it will support. Crucially, it will help people, communities and businesses in Glasgow to access improved broadband speeds and will complement our Reaching 100% investment programme which was created to secure broadband infrastructure that benefits all of Scotland.
"This investment also comes at a crucial time during economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic which will require good digital connectivity to make sure nobody is left behind."
Blantyre-based construction partner PMK Ltd will lay the 1300km full fibre network in the south of the city using a range of modern network construction methods. CityFibre and PMK will work in close partnership with Glasgow City Council and local communities to deliver a fast rollout with minimal disruption.
CityFibre will be working across several locations in the city at one time, including the west where CityFibre is deploying from Cardonald to Govan, and in the south east of the city centre where work is starting in the Eglinton Toll and Gorbals areas. It will then move to Oatlands and Langside and continue to Rutherglen and Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire. East Renfrewshire is also part of the longer-term build plan.
Build is scheduled to begin in the north of the city later this year and the full city-wide deployment is expected to be substantially completed by 2025.
The network is not yet live, but once activated, services will be available from an increasing range of broadband providers. Across the UK, CityFibre is already working with launch partner Vodafone, TalkTalk and Zen to deliver next generation broadband services, with other providers set to join the network soon.

One thing we didn't count on with Waldo is how often he has to be groomed. He has hair, not fur, and it grows like it's been fertilized. Also he smells. It's a generalized dog smell plus something particular to Waldo related to what he rolls in/digs up. We're too lazy to give him a bath between grooming appointments so by the time six weeks have rolled around we love him only with arms outstretched.
We're also too lazy to take him somewhere so the groomer comes to us in a cool van outfitted with everything she needs to torture Waldo. As soon as he sees her pull into the driveway he runs into his bed and buries his head under a bunch of chew toys. It's like a toddler who puts his hands over his eyes and thinks you can't see him.
I pick him up, hand him over to Kayla and he looks at me with the saddest eyes imaginable. Guilt washes over me. But I get over it as soon as the screen door slams because that smell is finally going away.
After she's done, I pick him up and there is intense face licking and looking back at Kayla and the van in horror. When I put him down he beelines for the bed again until he hears the van leave, then joyously runs around the house shaking his head to get the clean cooties out.
I always take him for a walk right after the grooming to further alleviate the trauma. He makes sure to dig a monster hole each time, covering himself with dirt, leaves and bad smell. He knows exactly how to punish me.

New Study Concludes Hurricanes are Becoming Stronger Due to Global Warming
by Dana Nuccitelli 4 comments
Nature has published a major analysis concluding that higher sea surface temperatures caused by global warming are creating stronger hurricanes. The net effect of global warming on the frequency of hurricane formation remains uncertain. Global warming causes sea surface temperatures to increase, but it also causes wind shear to increase, which disrupts hurricane formation.
However, this new study concludes that the effect of global warming on hurricane intensity is to make them stronger.
The maximum wind speeds of the strongest tropical cyclones have increased significantly since 1981, according to research published in Nature this week. And the upward trend, thought to be driven by rising ocean temperatures, is unlikely to stop at any time soon.
{….}
James Elsner, a climatologist at Florida State University in Tallahassee, and his colleagues have now found that the strongest tropical storms are getting stronger, with the most notable increases in the North Atlantic and northern Indian oceans. Very strong storms, Elsner says, can more easily overcome any inhibiting effects of shearing winds than weaker storms, and go on to reach their maximum possible strength.
The team statistically analysed satellite-derived data of cyclone wind speeds. Although there was hardly any increase in the average number or intensity of all storms, the team found a significant shift in distribution towards stronger storms that wreak the greatest havoc. This meant that, overall, there were more storms with a maximum wind speed exceeding 210 kilometres per hour (category 4 and 5 storms on the Saffir–Simpson scale)
"It'll be pretty hard now for anyone to claim that cyclone activity has not increased," says Judith Curry, an atmospheric researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, who was not involved in the study….
"People should now stop saying 'who cares, storm activity is just a few per cent up'," says Curry. "It's the strongest storms that matter most.
Obviously this study does not bode well for those living on the Gulf Coast in hurricane territory, and gives us yet further incentive to address global warming by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

Actor, Idris Elba to Play Nelson Mandela in Biopic
Newstalk 1490
Idris Elba is getting set to star as Nelson Mandela in an "official" biopic of the former South African leader.
The actor, who made his name playing drug boss Stringer Bell in The Wire, has reportedly taken on the role and the deal is close to being finalised.
As well as The Wire, Elba currently stars as BBC crime thriller Luther recently expressed an interest in taking over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig.
Previous actors to play Mandela on the big screen include Terrence Howard in Winnie (this is the one with Jennifer Hudson, I know I was confused at first too) and Morgan Freeman played Mandela in Invictus. Before Elba's name came up, actors including Will Smith and Denzel Washington had been linked to the iconic role.
Production on the film is expected to begin in 2012.

OBJECTIVE: To compare detection of glaucoma progression with scanning laser polarimetry using two methods for corneal compensation. METHODS: Normal, glaucoma suspects and glaucoma patients with 36 months' follow-up meeting the eligibility criteria were prospectively enrolled. All subjects underwent complete eye exam, standard automated perimetry (SAP) and scanning laser polarimetry with variable and enhanced corneal compensation (GDxVCC, GDxECC). SAP progression was determined using the visual-field index (VFI). GDx progression was determined using Guided Progression Analysis software (GDxGPA) and was defined as a repeatable change on two consecutive scans compared with two baseline images using any of three strategies: ≥ 150 contiguous pixels on the image progression map (A), four or more adjacent segments on the Temporal Superior Nasal Inferior Temporal graph (B) or a significant change in slope of the summary parameter chart (C). Kappa statistics and logistic regression were used for the analysis. RESULTS: Thirteen normal, 30 glaucoma suspect and 25 glaucomatous eyes participating in the Advanced Imaging in Glaucoma Study were included. Progression was identified in six eyes (8.8%) using GDxVCC and in eight eyes (11.8%) using GDxECC. SAP progression was detected in seven (10.3%) eyes. Agreement among progression methods using GDxVCC and GDxECC was strongest for method C (kappa=0.57, p=0.002) compared with methods A (kappa=0.41, p=0.01) and B (kappa=0.41, p=0.01). The association between typical scan score (TSS) and overall or individual methods of progression was not significant using VCC or ECC (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: GDxGPA represents a novel approach for detection of glaucomatous progression. GDxVCC and GDxECC demonstrate moderate agreement.


Burrs occur in almost all manufacturing processes. In the worst case, they can lead to malfunction of the end product. Therefore, burr-free components are required especially in the automotive and components supply industry.
KADIA has specialized in the mechanical deburring and finishing of surfaces. We develop turnkey systems for the processing of complex workpiece contours. Cost-effective – high-performing – precise.
Burrs are sharp workpiece edges, which are undesirable from a functional, ergonomic and often from an aesthetic point of view. They occur in numerous machining processes, as a rule, they are not reproducible. This means that their characteristics and dimensions change from workpiece to workpiece.
In case of machining burrs, a distinction is made between loose burrs, which are relatively easy to remove, and fixed burrs, which require greater deburring effort.
No chance for residual dirt! We are prepared to face the increasing requirements on technical parts cleanliness. We develop the precise fitting deburring process, so that your components are 100 percent burr-free. Whether sharp-edged, rounded or chamfered: the focus is on the individual solution.
When it comes to removing machining burrs from complex workpiece structures, mechanical deburring is the first choice. This procedure is reliable, cost-effective and quick.
Mechanical deburring is characterized by the use of directly driven deburring tools. Burr-free components – with rounded or chamfered edges – are created by means of targeted inside and outside deburring. Deburring tools such as brushes, milling cutters, polishing tools and electroplated tools are used. Special versions do also play an important role.
KADIA develops highly automated deburring processes for the wet or dry machining of complex components. The many years of experience and in-depth know-how form the basis for meeting the wishes and demands of every customer in an optimal manner. We develop the best possible combination between machines and tools. Individually, results-oriented, targeted.
Fully automatic robot deburring of cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and crankshafts: the deburring technology from KADIA is used especially in engine manufacturing.
In addition, we supply machines for finishing steering gear racks and drive shafts. Also the processing of large components – partly in combination with high pressure deburring – is one of our tasks.
We also specialize in polishing of small parts, such as control pistons and other rotatory workpieces by means of centerless deburring.

European Tour Unveils 'Golfers With Disability' Programme
4.23pm 8th May 2019 - Corporate - This story was updated on Friday, May 10th, 2019
The European Tour's drive for inclusivity in golf continued apace today with the announcement that two tournaments for golfers with disability will be run alongside two of this season's biggest Rolex Series events.
In conjunction with the European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA) – which founded the new World Rankings for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) now administered by the World Amateur Golf Ranking – the 36-hole EDGA Scottish Open and the 36-hole EDGA Dubai Finale will be played on the weekends of the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club and the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
Ten male golfers taken from the WR4GD will have the opportunity at the EDGA Scottish Open from July 13-14 to tackle the same course set up as the European Tour professionals while the EDGA Dubai Finale will be of a similar model except the tournament will be played on Friday and Saturday (November 22-23), with eight players eligible for that event.
Scoring for both tournaments will feature on the European Tour's website and App for fans to follow, while television coverage of both contests will form part of the world feed broadcast, and the winner in Scotland will also take part in the main prizegiving ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
Already recognised as global leaders in integrating the women's game into the men's professional arena, today's announcement continues the European Tour's quest to make top level golf available to all.
Keith Pelley, Chief Executive of the European Tour, said: "We are thrilled to make this announcement today, one which will offer golfers with disability the opportunity to play competitive tournaments alongside our professionals at two-world class venues. As golf's global Tour, our core values are innovation and inclusivity and these two tournaments fit perfectly into both of those genres, as well as illustrating once again the unique health benefits our sport offers everyone. But this is just the start. We look forward to working with EDGA over the coming months and years as we build towards our aspirational goal of a 'Golfers with Disability World Tour' by 2021."
The initiative was launched at the Betfred British Masters at Hillside Golf Club in Southport, where three of the game's leading golfers with disability – Juan Postigo Arce, Brendan Lawlor and Caroline Mohr – played alongside European Tour champion and RSM Ambassador Paul Waring in the pre-tournament Pro-Am.
Waring said: "It was great to play with Juan, Brendan and Caroline today to give them a chance to showcase the golfing talent they possess. Very quickly it is not disability that is noticeable but the actual ability these athletes have for the game. It is great to see the European Tour getting behind this initiative and I am looking forward to seeing how the respective tournaments unfold later in the year. Just like today at Hillside when the crowds were excellent, I would encourage all spectators in Scotland and Dubai to get out and give these guys all the support you can."
EDGA President Tony Bennett said: "The vision of the European Tour to include players from the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability in European Tour events is further evidence that the game is willing and able to embrace golfers of all abilities. EDGA has been a beneficiary of the European Tour either through donations, fundraising at the Portugal Masters, or more recently from its Foundation. Our relationship has grown ever stronger, and today's announcement is a game changer.
"The athletes who will compete in these events will be some of the best in the world, but golf can be just as important for individuals with a disability who simply want to participate and gain some of the health-enhancing benefits that golf offers. I commend all at the European Tour for the spirit of collaboration that we have experienced during the development of this far-reaching initiative."
Funding from RSM helped the EDGA players compete at Hillside today and the company's support will also be evident for the players in Scotland and Dubai later in the year. RSM are also assisting the production of an EDGA film and launch of their new book, 'MULLIGAN – tough love and second chances' that showcases the power of the human spirit with 18 real life stories 'Golfers with Disability'.

Here are all of the Democrats running for president, as a dozen get ready for Tuesday night's debate in Ohio
MarketWatch photo illustration/Getty Images
These 12 Democrats have qualified for Tuesday's debate in Ohio, but there are also seven other White House hopefuls.
The debate stage on Tuesday night in Westerville, Ohio, will look crowded, as a dozen Democratic presidential hopefuls take part in the matchup, breaking a record for the number of participants.
But the overall field remains even larger, remaining at a still-high level of 19. It has contracted only modestly in the past three months, with seven politicians dropping out of the race for the party's 2020 nomination.
Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to lead the field in polls this week, though Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts briefly moved ahead of him last week in a widely followed average of polls.
The other Democrats seeking to take on President Donald Trump next year include Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent; Sen. Kamala Harris of California; and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Author and activist Marianne Williamson and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro also remain in the mix.
In September, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio became the most recent politician to exit the race, saying "it is clearly not my time." His announcement followed departures in August by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.
See: Bill de Blasio drops out of presidential race
In a RealClearPolitics moving average of polls on Monday, Biden had regained front-runner status, scoring 29.4% support vs. Warren's 23.4%. Sanders, who is recovering from an Oct. 1 heart attack, drew 15.6% support, topping Buttigieg and Harris at 5.2% each, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke at 2.6% and entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 2.4%. All other Democratic candidates are below 2%. Ahead of the Sept. 12 debate, Biden was drawing support of 27% vs. 17% each for Warren and Sanders.
The dozen Democrats who have qualified for Tuesday's debate are Biden, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, Harris, Yang, Castro, O'Rourke, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and hedge-fund billionaire Tom Steyer. The matchup is set to break the record for the number of candidates appearing on a stage at once, topping the prior mark of 11 that was set by a Republican debate in 2015.

Escape to the beautiful area of Costa Rica; Guanacaste and the Bat Islands. Guanacaste is a province located on the pacific side of Costa Rica in the northwest part of the country. The Bat Islands are located in a protected Marine Park inside the Guanacaste conservation area. It is one of the most beautiful island chains in Costa Rica and home to a diverse dry tropical forest. The Okeanos Aggressor I & II focus on the areas of The Santa Rosa National Park and its marine sector called Islas Murcielago (Bat Islands); this area offers incredible beauty both above and below the surface. This beautiful Conservation Area earned a place in UNESCO's World Heritage Site in 1999.
The trip includes three main geographical areas in the North Pacific of Guanacaste: Bahia Culebra and Catalina Islands Area, Cuajiniquil and El Jobo Area, and Bat Islands in Santa Rosa National Park. These areas are very diverse with an opportunity to dive with lots of species of rays, mantas, turtles, sharks, large schools of tropical fish, frogfish and other macro life. Large pelagics such as Humpback Whales, dolphin and other shcarks are seen.
Guests will dive up to 4 dives a day including 3 night dives.

Here's the patch.  I updated the test case and release notes also.
I'm a Google employee, so this patch is covered by whatever usual copyright arrangement we have with the PSF.
The patch looks reasonable to me.
I was trying to find out why they got disabled after 2.5, but I don't see any reason. (There was an issue open and it was closed for no reason). So, I think, this should move forward, unless there is any technical objection to the patch.
Is it necessary to actually copy it? Isn't the pattern object immutable?
It's not strictly necessary that re objects be copyable, but there's no reason to break it either.  It's not strictly necessary that str or int be copyable either.
This came up in code that had objects with a number of members, one of which was a regexp pattern object.  deepcopy of this object broke in 2.5.
Since the pattern and the match objects can be considered as immutable, it is worth to implement __copy__ and __deepcopy__ returning the object itself. Proposed PR does this. It also fixes signatures of __deepcopy__ methods.
Since copying didn't work in all maintained version for long time, this is rather a new feature than a bug fix.


In the past months, electro-psychedelic sensation MGMT has released three singles from their upcoming album, Little Dark Age, which brings their unique electric feel to the forefront of vintage psychedelia.
In October of last year, MGMT climbed out of the woodwork for the first time in four years to release their first new single, Little Dark Age. They've since released two more singles, "When You Die" and "Hand It Over," producing in just three songs the same variety of style audiences have come to expect from them.
Since the release of their 2013 self-titled album, MGMT has evidently taken great strides to redefine and acknowledge their musical identity.
Many will remember MGMT from their hit songs from their first album, Oracular Spectacular —"Electric Feel," "Kids," and "Time to Pretend." These songs, while not completely dissimilar from the bulk of their releases since Oracular Spectacular, could easily be considered divergent from the sound MGMT has developed in the decade since their debut.
Oracular Spectacular, complete with poppy synths and a few hits that took radio stations by storm at the time of its release, may seem like a far cry from their latest single, "Hand it Over," which brings a chilled-out, trippy element to their repertoire.
While casual listeners may find their departure from poppy melodies in exchange for a more dreamy, mellow atmosphere somewhat surprising, avid MGMT fans will surely consider their latest releases a noteworthy reward for four years of patience. Each single they've released brings familiar yet unique flavors to the upcoming album.
The "When You Die" music video feels more like a dosage of hallucinogens than a music video and follows the death of a somewhat unimpressive magician.
The stunning visuals and light, easy tone of the music seem to clash poetically with the dark and edgy lyrics — a clash that recurs in the "Little Dark Age's" music video, which also features dark imagery to combat the airy, rolling Depeche Mode synthesizers and echoed lyrics.
This clash between dark and light seem to highlight MGMT's revival. It's been 10 years since their debut and now, in the "Little Dark Age" video, frontman Andrew VanWyngarden nods to the goth-pop of the '80s, donning a wig not unlike The Cure's Robert Smith, coldly dishing out grave lyrics. This is a swift way to address an indisputable departure from the optimistic pop that was found in Oracular Spectacular and a rebirth into the realm of goth psychedelia.
Little Dark Age is set to release — ambiguously — in 2018 and shows great promise for MGMT. The singles released so far feel like a throwback to the '80s and feel markedly more consistent and self-aware of what they want to be than those of their previous self-titled album.
Those turned away by MGMT's departure from electronic pop singles like "Kids" may still have to wait to see if their upcoming album features any similarities. Those hooked by MGMT's further engagement with psychedelia as a whole will surely be pleased by their recent releases.
Some may find it difficult to associate MGMT with a notably vintage sound, but make no mistake — MGMT has taken great strides in an effort to rebrand themselves and explore fresh sounds with their unique style.

THE extra excitable are forecasting a 2018 general election because of the Budget and the tax cuts it contains.
They have interpreted the fiscal relief as a starting gun for a ballot in October or September.
It won't happen, and for that very reason above - the Budget and the tax cuts it contains.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull should be believed when he says he is aiming for a federal ballot in the first half of 2019, probably in April or May.
Because - dare it be said - he has a master plan.
The fundamental element of both the economic and political force of the Budget is optimism, a commodity that has been scarce in the national electorate for the past 10 years.
Optimism can be contagious, and successful political leaders are those who can harness it. Incumbent governments usually are re-elected by voters who believe the country is heading in the right direction.
Economic pointy heads might quibble with Budget detail but Treasurer Scott Morrison knows his real audience is not them. It's not those who, as he told the National Press Club today, are "caught up in some sort of almond latte fog".
It was a crude cultural sneer but an effective tactic by the Treasurer as he defended the importance to ordinary Australians of tax reductions providing extra cash for public transport, electricity bills, petrol for the family car.
He also was strengthening the prospect for more and better jobs from a healthy economy, and wages increasing at the same rate as economic growth.
Further, the government appears to have a long-term plan, one stretching to 2025 at least.
That is good news for voters long cranky with government ad hocery by all parties.
Mr Morrison, fond of football metaphors, said today: "We have a game plan and we will stick to it."
Another feature of the Budget was it did not demand further sacrifices by taxpayers. It was the government that had to tidy up its economic act by moving quickly to a surplus.
The contrast with the nasty divisions and faked crisis of the "leaners and lifters" and "debt and deficit emergency" Budgets could not be stronger.
The government is telling voters it should be kept in power to complete the task, one directly affecting families. The opportunity for that will be an election early next year when economic growth, it hopes, will be confirmed.
In short, stick with the Coalition to continue riding the promised prosperity back into office.
"At the end of the day, everything rises and falls on a stronger economy," Mr Morrison told the NPC.
"The security of your job, your business, your wage, your income, essential services you rely on - hospitals, schools, Medicare, disability services, affordable medicines, aged care - all funded, all delivered, all guaranteed out of a stronger economy.
"Bringing the budget back into balance, paying down debt, all dependent on continuing to build a stronger economy."

Q: How to reduce floating point number decimal places without doing couts on it I have a floating point number
float n = 0.948245;

I want to reduce this number to 1 decimal place that should be 0.9. I dont want to std::cout or log this number anywhere. Just want make set the value of n to 0.9.
How can I do this with C++ 14 ?
PS: Of all the suggestions I found, all of them somehow involve std::couting the float. Hence, stated it out that I dont want o cout it.

A: This is what std::round() and std::trunc() are for. std::trunc() finds the nearest integer that is not greater than the input. Since you want just 1 decimal place, multiply by 10 (just like @Retired Ninja wrote) before passing it to the function:
float n = 0.948245;
float result = std::trunc(n*10) / 10.0f;

That being said, I'd caution you that float is not very precise.
See the following example in wandbox:
float n = 100000.948245;
std::cout << n << "\n";

The output is:
100001

The problem is that the number assigned here to n is both large and also has a lot of digits after the decimal place. (BTW, "large" for float means anything far from the 0 to 1 range).
Using double is a little better, but if you really care about precision even in large numbers, you'd be better off using fix-point math. You really have to take into account the ranges of values you care about.

Proof can be subjective and one set of facts that lead a person to consider something proven, will not resonate with another. We need to trust the source, and in the world of digital marketing there are five distinct types of proof. Understanding who your customers trust and sharing them 'proof' from those groups can be one of the strongest marketing techniques in your arsenal.
The engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in November 2017 was a pivotal moment for a number of UK brands. The 'Meghan effect' is reported to have led to a 2% increase in sales for the British heritage retailer Barbour, with fashion brands Joseph, Self Portrait, Parosh and Aritzia all stating that items from their collections sold out within days of Meghan being photographed wearing their products..
Sending products to celebrities in exchange for a review or photo is one way to leverage celebrity social proof. But you can't just rely on the whims of Kensington Palace or talent agencies to get products in front of the right people. Having interesting editorial content which is targeted at the followers of celebrities who fit your brand's personality helps you acquire some star power. For example, eyewear brand Zylowear created a Golden Globes inspired style guide so that fans of Meryl Streep or Oprah Winfrey can get the celebrity look without breaking the bank.
Having a recognisable trust signal such as a sustainability certificate from the Rainforest Alliance or an industry award can reassure consumers that they are choosing a company and products which have been reviewed by experts. In the case of the Rainforest Alliance, studies have shown that 80% of consumers trust third-party certification labels more than any other type of environmental message.
By understanding what social proof tactics are most effective for your product and audience, you can deliver the right content to provide reassurance to customers awash with choice that your brand is the right one to check out with.

Mannequin – Central Unit "Loving Machinery" 12'' EP
Central Unit – Loving Machinery 12'' EP (Mannequin MNQ 024)
Release Date: 6th February 2012
Mannequin is really happy to present the 30th Anniversary Edition of the 12'' EP 'Loving Machinery" from Central Unit, the cult New Wave mitteleuropean band based in Bologna (nowdays reformed with a different lineup). Formed in 1981, they were among the first in Italy to manipulate synths, drum machines and other electronic devices (as far as we know they were one of the few bands in the world able to program a Korg-KR55 drum machine) to create atmospheric soundscapes and they were considered the Italian answer to Tuxedomoon, who spawned a whole school in the Italian underground.
After the first live appareances as opening act to bands like Spandau Ballet and Monochrome Set in their Italian tours, Central Unit published in March 1982, the 12'' EP "Loving Machinery" with 4 tracks, including a cover of "What Use?" from Tuxedomoon.
The EP first entered Belgian and German charts with the single "Saturday Nite", thanks to its skeletal electronic beats and minimal synth atmospheres, combined with mechanical basslines and relentless bass guitar meanderings, with slothy saxophone murmurs peeping out here and there.
Central Unit joined some important live shows in Italian and foreign festival (remarkable their show in 1983 at No Wave, No Jazz festival in Berlin where they played with Fad Gadget, Einsturzende Neubauten and Notorische Reflexe), and they released an album for major label CGD, produced by Tuxedomoon bassist Peter Principle in 1983.
Cover art by the renowned cartoon artist Giorgio Carpinteri (Frigidaire, Linus). Carpinteri was part of the so- called Valvoline group, a group of experimental comics artists, that followed in the footsteps of José Muñoz, Joost Swarte and Art Spiegelman.

Asymmetry Festival news
Posted by Marc Urselli	Industry News
Asymmetry Festival is an annual event, taking place in Wroclaw, Poland. The aim of the festival is mixing and showcasing diverse artists in a single festival space. Artists who roam the verge of stylistics like metal, rock, electonics, experimental music – alternative music, generally speaking. This year's event will be the fourth edition of Asymmetry.
Furthermore, this edition will be a ground-breaking one, as it moves out of the organizer's Firlej club, into a new space – Wroclaw's Bourgeois Brewery – a beautiful industrial complex from the XIXc. Thanks to this move, the festival will feature three stages (instead of one, like in the case of previous years).
Now a little bit on Asymmetry 4.0's line-up – so far We have confirmed performances by Aethenor, Amenra (who will appear twice), Bohren & der Club of Gore, Obake (with Trevor Dunn of Fantomas/Mr. Bungle fame), Red Fang, Celeste, Broken Note, Igorrr, Niveau Zero and many others (with more to come). The line-up expresses Our interests with different, often quite remote music genres.
The previous editions included appearances by Godflesh, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Weedeater, Minsk, Baroness, Year of No Light, Julie Christmas, Altar of Plagues and numerous others.

UR MUZIK – K. 'There's a Devil Waiting Outside your Door' CD
K. 'There's a Devil Waiting Outside your Door' CD
UR 006 – UR MUZIK 2012
Price: 12.80 EUR
Orders: ur.muzik@yahoo.com
Some of you may have already stumbled on K. – the enigmatic artist from Poland released several tracks on different V/A compilations and issued a mini CD back in 2007. It is with great pleasure that we present the actual debut album by K. titled "There's a Devil Waiting Outside your Door".
The obvious reference to Nick Cave is no accident here, but the music of K. has as well similarities to such groups as Bohren und der Club of Gore or Heroin and Your Veins. Having its own twist and character, the sound of K. takes you deep into smoky dens where spleen, existentialism, black and white cinema, jazz noir and pulp aesthetics meet in a decadent unison.
The CD comes limited to 300 pieces in a digifile.
Two tracks on YouTube available here:

Dark Vektor
Posted by Maurizio Pustianaz	Interviews
At last i'm leaving London and "fly" to warmer places like Terrassa, a Spanish city with great history, only 28km away from Barcelona. A true mediterranean (see cheerful!) guy is waiting for my questions and he's none other than Ivan Arnau. Strange enough how this open-hearted catalan for more than a decade keeps transforming himself in the studio to the electro "punisher" Dark Vektor, an artist whose role in the spanish electro scene is no less than pivotal. Let's find out more!
Chain D.L.K.: To my great surprise I haven't found an interview of your good self over the internet! I mean you, along with Alek Stark and Boris Divider, are definitely the key persons in the ever growing Spanish electro scene; it's odd (to say the least) that you have never talked to anybody about your music. So, thank you very much for accepting my call to have this little chat about the great Dark Vektor!
Let me begin by asking you about your musical background: how did you start producing music and why electro and not one of the trends of that era?
Dark Vektor: Thanks goes to you Evan for this interview! Yes it's true I had no interviews in the past, at least in English. There are some in Spanish only 😉
I started producing music in early 90s. Together with a very good friend of mine, David Farell, we formed Sbles3plex. We were trying to learn how to produce the sounds we used to listen at the time. That's why my first tracks were jungle style! But, as soon as I learned how to produce this kind of sound, I started to find it boring and finally I lost my interest in it. In 94-95, with the so-called "resurrection of electro", my friends, who were all djs, started to spin it and that was it: I was hooked! It was then that I discovered my true musical style and my life in music!
As Sbles3plex we did a demo cd and we sent it to several labels. The guys at Djax Up Beats liked it so we signed with them a contract for 3 eps. That was in 2000; we started to release music then and we never stopped!
Chain D.L.K.: You have released many singles and eps, contributed tracks in compilations and remixed other people's work. The fact that all this productivity is dispersed in many different labels, as well that you have never put together a personal album, make me believe that you are not so much interested in a personal career in music than to help in pushing the boundaries of electro further. Am I right?
Dark Vektor: Yes you 're right! I have lots of releases on different labels, because for me what is important is to expose my music to the people.
I am not really interested in a career in music. Moreover in the electro scene it's very difficult to earn money and turn to an "electronic superstar", that's why my intention is to express myself, my soul, my feelings, the musical projects I have inside my head. I don't want to be a music star, I just want to listen to electro very loud, to dance to the sounds, to enjoy!! I am a very simple guy 😉
As far as it concerns a full length release, me and David are currently working on a album, a Sbles3plex album, which will be published probably sometime in the next year.
Chain D.L.K.: You play the role of the spanish electro scene ambassador, always into the 99% of the electro activity in your country, either this is music production, djing or promotion of relative events. How do you manage to do so many things? I know there's a job and a family behind 😉
Dark Vektor: haha, noooooooooooo!!
No! What i'm trying to do is to be myself, an electro enthusiast who shows support to all the people who produce, spin or simply love electro… The way I see things is that if I get more fans or/and another artist(s) become more popular, the whole scene is getting bigger! I don't feel like an ambassador (lol) but it's true that I've been connected to electro forums for a long time and I always try to meet people (artists and supporters) in my real life (lots of them have become very good friends of mine) and if I can do anything to help somebody, I do it!
Yes I have a job, I also have a little baby so my time is limited, but, as the second important thing for me is the music, when it comes to my spare time, I like to spend it by listening to electro!
Chain D.L.K.: Spanish electro scene is definitely the most enthusiastic one, at least in Europe. So many new electro producers, releases, parties. However it is an underground thing (like in the rest of the world). I keep asking the same question to all the artists I'm interviewing (with the risk of end up… boring-lol) so it's your turn to answer: in your opinion is there any chance for the electro scene to be in the foreground of the club culture?
Dark Vektor: Well I think it is very difficult for electro be a massive club music, mainly because it isn't based on 4/4 beats (of course there are 4/4 electro tracks). I mean people in the "commercial" clubs find it more easy to dance to the "pum pum pum pum" beat than to a breakbeat, let alone that the majority of girls don't like this kind of music. So, if there are no girls in the club, there aren't any boys as well (or, at least, there's only a small number of them), therefore the drinking is low. It's a matter of business , fewer people in the club, fewer drinks sold, small money for the owners!!
You 're right, now in Spain there's a scene with lots of producers and djs who help each other. There's a forum called 'Contacto Sintetico', a site at which we discuss all things electro (and more), laugh, even help people if possible, a kind of our own virtual pub 😉 There are also parties such as BAS, 8Z8 or ELECTRO SICKNESS that help us to meet each other, drink some beers and dance to electro! To attend these parties people come from all parts of Spain, usually in a little club just to listen to this music very loud; and this fact makes us feel like a global electro crew!!
Chain D.L.K.: Contacto Sintetico: a weekly web radio show, a forum devoted to electro music. Tell us more… master Criticon!
Dark Vektor: I am co-founder and a part of Contacto Sintetico but the truth is that Thomas Noel (Awco) is the mastermind. Thanks to him we grew up very much! It is very hard to be a host of a video/radio show every week… And he does it every week, he does special shows, there's also a chat room and we are chatting during the whole show! CS is about all the new electro releases, classics, dj sets, mixes, interviews etc. I think that a Spanish electro radio show was a need for us to meet all the electro freaks in our country. There are lots of very good radio shows all over the world but this is the only one in our language (you know the english of the Spanish people is not very good, don't you?-lol)
Chain D.L.K.: Let's go back to your personal work. Let us know about your influences in making music. Also please make a list of your current equipment.
Dark Vektor: I have a lot of influences, I like the music in general, all kinds of music and all the good tracks but electro makes me feel like no other music: I cry, I fly, I feel good, I feel bad with electro!
I'm not coming from the old school electro scene. I was not a b-boy in the 80s, but all of my life I've been listening to electronic music. I guess that's because when I was 8 years old I got as a present a Jean-Michel Jarre tape from a hippy guy who came to my town. That day I discovered electronic music!
In my studio there are many machines. I have lots of hardware and lots of software and I'm trying to combine them to find out the best sounds for me! But… I don't want to reveal to you my list of the machines-lol!!
I just want to say that machines or software don't really make any difference, what's important is the result: music!!
Chain D.L.K.: What's next in the life of Dark Vektor? And what in the life of Ivan Arnau?!
Dark Vektor: Well, let's see… Next in Dark Vektor's life is producing as much I can. I have some music to be released (let's hope) very soon and some remixes, also the Sbles3plex album, a Seek 2012 with Downrocks new release, some collaborations as well. I had to say "no" to many new collaborations with friend musicians because there was not enough time to do them properly and this fact makes me feel bad. There's a new reality in my personal life that changed me a lot and the fact that I have now a baby who absorbs the most of my time. I can't stay anymore for… 12 hours in the studio working, like I used to do years ago!
Now I just want to be happy and live the moment!
Chain D.L.K.: Thank you very much Ivan!
Dark Vektor: You are welcome Evan, you know you have my respect. I appreciate your work as a producer and a label owner and now as a journalist, and I think that these interviews are very important for the electro scene! I wish you keep on doing them!!

Zoharum – newAB INTRA and MAREK X. MARCHOFF & MJ CAROLINE
Zoharum annouces 2 new releases out on 23.02.2012:
AB INTRA – Supremus
MAREK X. MARCHOFF & MJ CAROLINE – Voxfields
The releases date of the album is 23rd February 2012.
The pre-order starts on 3rd February.
After 4 years since the last release, AB INTRA returns with a new album. "Supremus" is almost an hour of music placed in the widely-understood dark ambient genre.
The album reflects a much more mature image of the artist who consciously creates a world of his own sound and vision.
The idea behind the album is the trial of creating an inner feeling, or impression, which is superior to others
(Supremus comes from Latin and it means the highest, definite, dominant) which is in fact the effect of tuning one's mind and stepping outside the conditioned structures.
It is a trial of placing consciousness in the sphere of pure sensations where the word becomes dominated by the sound, surrounded by the feeling,
and the symbol and vision become the carrier of new meanings.
One of the tracks from the album is published on our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/zoharumlabel
For the first 30 people who buy "Supremus", the previous Ab Intra album will be sent for free together with
the new offering upon the release date. If you're interested, place your order as soon as possible.
(DIFFERENT STATE RELATED PROJECT)
Marek Marchoff – the brain and the only permanent member behind DIFFERENT STATE project is a very creative man. He works a lot and the effects always amaze the listeners.
Almost 20 years of experience in creating experimental and industrial sounds has left a stamp on his works. Without copying his own ideas, he is still searching, discovering
new sounds and taking various initiatives. Together with MJ Caroline, he created his first field recording album. It's not a typical album for this kind. Marchoff treated field recordings
as a palette of sounds by means of which he built a sonic horror story placed somewhere in Tilden fortress where rhythms are composed of footsteps, beats, reverberations
of basements where only in the background life is throbbing and somewhere from the distance the moaning of war sirens can be heard.
"Voxfields" is released as a fifth part of our ongoing IYHHH series. We are sure that it will be a stand-out position in this collection
that serves a purpose of presenting lesser-known albums or side-projects. But, what seems to be obvious, the album is an excellent position in its own right
and can compete with other recordings in this field and beyond.
The release date of the album is 23rd February 2012. The pre-order starts on 3rd February (on the day of Marek's 38th birthday).
A special pre-order offer: For the first 30 people who buy "Supremus", Different State's "Yield" album will be sent for free together with the new offering upon the release date. "Voxfields" is highly recommended to fans of Different State and lovers of field recordings.

Stoa: I interviewed this artist a while back, but the translation took a little bit for my friend to complete, since she's very busy. Thanks Natalie! Anywho, this artist is a true marvel: a classically trained artist who brings directly that sense of Wagnerian and...
