Scratch Pad 80 Scratch Pad 80 February 2012. 22 pages. Based on *brg* 74, a fanzine for ANZAPA (Australian and New Zealand Amateur Publish- ing Association). Written and published by Bruce Gillespie, 5 Howard St, Greensborough VIC 3088. Phone: (03) 9435 7786. Email: [email protected]. Member fwa. Ditmar’s Birthday card Somewhat to my surprise I reached the age of 65 on 17 February 2012. (It was 1972 last time I looked.) At a small gathering of old friends on the night before, Dick Jenssen (Ditmar) presented me with the birthday card shown on the right. The image was generated by Dick using his own DJFractals program. Dick writes: ‘The escapetime fractal takes a progression of keyboard characters and converts them into coefficients of two cubic functions, and then uses these functions to generate a fractal. For your card, the characters were: HappyBirthdayBruce. But, of course, I then used my program’s bell and whistles and tweaks to generate the final image...’ 1 What are we seeing? Christmas Day, 2011. We arrive home from Christmas dinner. Greensborough has been hit by a rain and hail storm. We look out the back door and see the scene shown in the photo (right). What are we seeing? On the left is one of our compost bins. It is over a metre high and about a metre in diame- ter. Beside it is the col- lapsed cat enclosure, made of very tough netting. The white blob is the reason why it’s collapsed: a great ball of unmelted hail nearly as big as the compost bin. It took 24 hours to melt. (See story below, page 3.) 2 Contents Politics is too chunderous to mention in a family fanzine.

  • Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson
    Some Recent Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson The original European Universal Eloquence label replaced budget releases on DG (Privilege or Resonance), Decca (Weekend Classics) and Philips (Classical Favourites). Like them it originally sold for around £5 and offered some splendid bargains such as Telemann’s ‘Water Music’ and excerpts from Tafelmusik (Musica Antiqua Köln/Reinhard Goebel 4696642) and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (Janet Baker, James King, Concertgebouw/Bernard Haitink 4681822). Later most of the original batch were deleted – luckily the Mahler remains available – and production switched to Universal Australia but the price remained around the same. More recently changes in the value of the £ mean that single CDs now sell for around £7.75 but the high quality of much of the repertoire means that they remain well worth keeping an eye on. Many, but not all, of the albums are available to stream or download and I have reviewed some in that form and others on CD. Be aware, however, that the downloads often cost more than the CDs and invariably come without notes – which is a shame because the Eloquence booklets are better than those of many budget labels.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

The past decade has been witness to a rapidly mushrooming concern about the inequitable treatment of women before the law. Even the Supreme Court has evinced tacit recognition of this fact.' While sex discrimination seems pervasive throughout our society, the discrimination evidenced by the differential sentencing of male and female criminal offenders presents a particularly egregious example. Disparate sentencing procedures in New Jersey were declared unconstitu- tionally void in State v. Chambers,2 where female defendants had been sentenced for indeterminate terms in the Correctional Institution for Women at Clinton." New Jersey's statutory scheme provided for the sentencing of 1.
