Hertfordshire County Council is live with the Child Protection – Information Sharing (CP-IS) initiative. The Council has worked on the project in conjunction with case management provider Liquidlogic and the Department of Health and is one of the first sites in England to go live. The system will flag to appropriate healthcare staff where a child is the subject of a child protection plan or is looked after by a Local Authority. This will apply in unscheduled health settings, such as emergency departments, GP out of hours services, walk-in centres, ambulance services, maternity and paediatric wards and will also display the contact details of the responsible children's social care team.
A log of those who have viewed the child protection plan or looked after status for a child, and where, will also be retained for both social care and healthcare staff, enabling them to confirm whether a child has been visiting a range of unscheduled healthcare settings, regardless of geographical location, and this could be an indication of ongoing abuse and neglect. It is important to note that this will only apply to children who are subject to a child protection plan or looked after children or who have been within the last year.

Opinion: Tragic drone strike with plane 'inevitable'

Country: United Kingdom Aircraft: Drones
It now seems inevitable that a tragic accident involving a commercial plane with hundreds aboard and a drone is only a matter of time.
The numbers are troubling with the British Airways encounter Sunday just the tip of the iceberg.
Officials: Drone apparently slams into plane
Last year, in the United Kingdom alone there was a quadrupling of near misses to 23 in the six month period from April to October with 12 labeled as a serious risk of collision, according to the U.K.'s Airprox Board.
In a five-month period ending January 31 this year, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration reported that there were 583 near misses between drones and planes, more than triple the number in 2014.
The U.S. Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College tempers the FAA report saying there is some duplication but it agrees a number of 519, of which 188 or 36.2% were close encounters.
Again, they are troubling numbers as it appears that drone users are ignoring the globally accepted rules of not operating above 400 feet and not within five miles of an airport.
The Center's report on the FAA numbers said that "three out of five incidents occurred within five miles of an airport, and nine out of 10 incidents occurred above 400 feet."
And in 24 incidents, drones came within 50 feet of a manned aircraft, and in 11 cases the pilots of the aircraft made evasive maneuvers to avoid a drone.
According to the data, 91.9% of the incidents occurred above 400 feet with the average altitude 3,074 feet.
Disturbing trend
While these numbers are disturbing they are only going to get worse as drone sales soar on the back of lower purchase costs and greater capability.
Non-military drones are typically capable of altitudes of up to 6,000 feet and speeds of 50 miles per hour (mph) and they are selling in the hundreds of thousands.
The U.S. is one of the few countries that requires registration at a cost of $5 — and 400,000 have been registered on a new FAA site launched last December.
The UK and Australia do not require registration, although both countries have the same basic rules of banning flying at altitude of above 400 feet and not within five miles and an airport.
Regulators concede they have been slow to act and some privately admit the situation is almost out of control.
While regulators around the world are grappling with the new drone phenomena, responsible manufactures such as China's DJI have introduced geofencing technology into its drones to prevent them being flown into hazardous areas.
Chinese firm DJI leads new 'drone age'
DJI also has a feature Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) which provides drone users with up-to-date guidance on locations where flights may be restricted by regulations or raised safety or security concerns.
This could include forest fires, major stadium events, and VIP travel.
While this works well for the responsible operator hacks are already available online to work around the restrictions for those who flout the rules.
And that is the problem without global mandatory registration for owners and severe penalties the irresponsible operator will continue to pose a serious threat to aviation.
More and more we are seeing these drones being operated around major airports.
At New York's JFK airport in January a Jetblue A320 pilot reported a near miss with a drone at about 6000ft, while a Southwest 737 pilot reported one passing just below his aircraft as it came into land at Baltimore.
In September last year a drone came within 60 feet of a 70-seat EMB170 jet in the skies above the British Houses of Parliament.
Last month the captain of a Lufthansa A380 super jumbo reported that a drone nearly collided with his aircraft as it approached Los Angeles airport. According to the FAA the encounter occurred at 5,000 feet and the drone came within 200 feet.
With air travel set to double over the next 20 years and drones sales climbing by 30% a year, tragic conflicts with reckless operators are inevitable.

Three Florida teenagers recently pleaded not guilty to the brutal beatings and in one case, death, of homeless men. One of the beatings was caught on surveillance video and in a most chilling way illustrates how people can degrade socially outcast individuals, enough to engage in mockery, physical abuse, and even murder. According to new research, the brain processes social outsiders as less than human; brain imaging provides accurate depictions of this prejudice at an unconscious level.
A new study by Princeton University psychology researchers Lasana Harris and Susan Fiske shows that when viewing photographs of social out-groups, people respond to them with disgust, not a feeling of fellow humanity. The findings are reported in the article "Dehumanizing the Lowest of the Low: Neuro-imaging responses to Extreme Outgroups" in a forthcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science (previously the American Psychological Society).
Social out-groups are perceived as unable to experience complex human emotions, share in-group beliefs, or act according to societal norms, moral rules, and values. The authors describe this as "extreme discrimination revealing the worst kind of prejudice: excluding out-groups from full humanity." Their study provides evidence that while individuals may consciously see members of social out-groups as people, the brain processes social out-groups as something less than human, whether we are aware of it or not. According to the authors, brain imaging provides a more accurate depiction of this prejudice than the verbal reporting usually used in research studies.
This, I believe, is the rule rather than exception. Kindness, empathy, and cooperation with different human groups most likely rose out of the need for trade and other mutual ways to solve disputes without causing harm to themselves. Some creationist have a view that humans have a selfless drive to help one another in them, and that there is no way that could have come about through evolution. However, studies such as the one in this article proves them wrong.

Tag: James Butler
Penelope Carwardine (1729 – 1804)
On September 10, 2015 August 13, 2020 By Sarah MurdenIn Essex History, Georgian Era Artists, Women's History3 Comments
Following our blog about Anne Mee which you seemed to have enjoyed we thought we would take a look at another female artist who specialized in painting miniatures.
According to quite a few sources, Penelope was born around 1730, so just to confirm we will start this post with details of her baptism. She was baptized on 29th April 1729 at Withington, Hereford, her parents being John and Ann, nee Bullock, of Preston Wynne, Herefordshire.
Her siblings included Anne (Frier), Mary (Wilson), Priscilla (Warricker and Crichton, who died in 1776), Rebecca (Probert) and Henrietta (Pugh). She also had a brother Thomas, a clergyman, but who was also a miniature portrait painter and who married a Miss Anne Holgate in Essex.
© Joanne Major
Until her marriage, somewhat later in life than was the norm at that time, Penelope pursued the genteel pastime of miniature painting which was viewed as a suitable way for women to earn a respectable living, a necessity given that her father had managed to be reckless with the family money, she was a pupil of the artist Ozias Humphry.
The diarist, James Boswell, noted in March 1763 that Alexander 10th Earl of Eglinton was sitting for his miniature to 'Mrs Carwardine', who he described as 'a very good-looking, agreeable woman, unmarried but I imagine virtuous'. Given the date of her marriage, this must have taken place just prior to it. Penelope was described as being a close friend of Joshua Reynolds and his sister Frances.
Lady Anne Sophia Egerton by Penelope Carwardine, c.1765-1770. Ashridge House.
It is reputed that Penelope exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1761, 1762, 1771, and 1772, however, on checking The Society of Artists of Great Britain, 1760-1791; the Free Society of Artists, 1761-1783; a complete dictionary of contributors and their work from the foundation of the societies to 1791, the earlier entries refer to Mrs Thomas (Ann) Carwardine, this seems more likely to actually relate to Penelope's mother Ann despite the reference to Thomas.
Penelope married James Butler, a church organist at Ranelagh and St Margaret's and St Anne's Westminster. The couple were married at St James, Piccadilly, St James the Less, Thorndike Street, 26th May 1763. Until now there have always been two possible dates for her marriage, many sources saying that she married around 1772, gave up her work at that time and that no miniatures by her after this date are known. The majority of her works are said to have been produced between 1750 and 1765.
Her husband James also taught organ and harpsichord at Mr Dubdat's on Berwick Street, Soho until his death in 1774. Fortunately for us, James left a will in which he named not only Penelope but also his 4 children from his previous marriage – Elizabeth (1751), Harriott (1755), Thomas Hamley (1756) and Anthony (1757). He also made provision for Charles Mellish of Blyth, a relative of Mrs Gooch who we have written about previously.
Anne Holgate, wife of Thomas Carwardine, RomneySources also give the date of Penelope's demise as being 14th October 1805 at Preston Wynne, Herefordshire (the place of her mother's birth). However, when checking her last will and testament this cannot be correct as her will was written on the 15th January 1804 and then proven on the 30th October 1804. Penelope was, at the time of writing her will living in the village of East Colne, Essex.
However, her death did take place in Herefordshire according to the Monthly Magazine and British Register, Volume 18, Issue 2 and the Bath Chronicle reported her death on the 18th Oct 1804. With the kind help of the Hereford Archives we have managed to establish there was a burial on the 16th October 1804 for a Priscilla Butler, rather than a Penelope, but that her gravestone does record her correctly, so possibly a simple mistake on the part of the vicar who got the sisters mixed up, presumably, let's hope he named her correctly during the funeral service!
At Hereford, suddenly, Mrs Butler, widow of the late ___ Butler, esq. and daughter of Mr Carwardine, formerly of Preston Wynne. She had passed the evening cheerfully with some friends, when she fell back in her chair, and instantly expired.
(Monthly Magazine & British Register, vol. 18, issue 2)
To be certain that we had found the correct persons will we have noted some of the beneficiaries:-
Her sister Mary Wilson was left a long India shawl, agate snuff box and £10 for mourning. Her cousin Martha Allan – £10 for mourning and £10 annual annuity between Martha and Mary, also her clothes to be divided between them.
Her sister Henrietta Pugh – received £100 with Rebecca Probert getting £10 for mourning. Lucy Crichton received the portrait of her father the late William Crichton Esq. Her sister-in-law, wife of her brother Thomas Carwardine, a gold repeating watch in trust for her daughter Ann Carwardine and £200 in the 4 percents, hoop diamond ring, ring connected with her brother and the long shawl given to her by Claude Benset Esq. To her niece Ann Carwardine she bequeathed diamond earrings. To the poor of the village of Preston Wynne in Withington, Hereford, £5 and her brother Thomas Carwardine received the residue of her estate.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (KT) – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was instrumental in marshaling forces to pass the largest tax overhaul in 30 years to spur an economic resurgence.
Yet, that doesn't top McConnell's list of what he considers his most consequential political accomplishments as the Senate's top lawmaker. Top of the list for him is the rapid confirmations of conservative judges to every level of the federal judicial system.
The tax bill, McConnell said, is important to the country, but if political winds shift and Democrats are back in charge in the Senate and House, it will likely be short-lived.
McConnell said he reached out to the White House general counsel shortly after Trump's election, encouraging him to move quickly with nominations of judges in their 40s and 50s.
The pace of confirmations has been quick, courtesy of a rule change pushed through by Democrats in 2013 when they controlled the Senate. The change made it easier for McConnell to fast-track judicial appointments.
Besides the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, McConnell's Senate also confirmed 12 federal circuit judges in the first year of Trump's presidency.
"That's more than the first year of any president since the circuit courts were created in 1891," McConnell said.

Smackdown of the liberal hawks
Lots of bloggers have cited to it, but I finally got around to reading the Yglesias/Rosenfeld piece inAmerican Prospect Online, "The Incompetence Dodge." Great stuff.
Most liberal hawks are willing to admit only that they made a mistake in trusting the president and his team to administer the invasion and occupation competently. An August 29 New York Observer article featured a litany of semi-chastened hawks articulating this sentiment. "Someone wrote that you knew who the surgeon would be, so you knew what the operation would look like," said George Packer, New Yorker writer and author of the new book The Assassin's Gate. "And there's some truth to that. I was not as aware as I should have been of just how mendacious and incompetent the surgeon was going to be." The New Republic's Leon Wieseltier added, "I think that it is impossible, even for someone who supported the war, or especially for someone who did, not to feel very bitter about the way it has been conducted and the way it has been explained."
The corollary of these complaints is that the invasion and occupation could have been successful had they been planned and administered by different people. This position may have its own internal logical coherence, but in the real world, it's wrong. Though defending the competence of the Bush administration is a fool's endeavor, administrative bungling is simply not the root source of America's failure in Iraq. The alternative scenarios liberal hawks retrospectively envision for a successful administration of the war reflect blithe assumptions -- about the capabilities of the U.S. military and the prospects for nation building in polities wracked by civil conflict -- that would be shattered by a few minutes of Googling.
The incompetence critique is, in short, a dodge -- a way for liberal hawks to acknowledge the obviously grim reality of the war without rethinking any of the premises that led them to support it in the first place.
I'm not sure I agree with all the larger conclusions drawn elsewhere in the piece. But on the narrow issue, what they say is dead on. And the whole thing is worth a read. The fact that the opening graf looks a lot like my opening graf in this piece is just icing on the cake.

Marketing Machine

Just 50 yards apart in Woodbridge, Va., you´ll find Steve´s Auto Repair & Tire and HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire. Both are competing businesses. Both go after the same customers. Both offer the same services.
Both are owned by ST Billingsley.
You might think it´s insane to own two shops so near one another—but Billingsley doesn´t think like you, and that´s why both of his shops thrive.
His secret has been an intense focus on digital marketing: achieving top-of-mind awareness through social media, targeted advertising and search engine optimization, driving similar demographics to each shop. In just two years of focusing on digital, both shops have gone from absent in Google searches to near the top when searched for in Woodbridge, resulting in significantly higher sales, as the two shops now combine for $3.3 million in annual revenue and 930 in monthly car count.
It´s not just some obsession he can´t shake (well, he´s a little obsessed). As an independent shop owner, Billingsley says digital marketing is mandatory, and with just a little commitment and creativity, he says independents can implement cost-effective digital marketing tactics and rival their biggest opponents.
"National Tire and Battery, Costco, Firestone, dealerships, these guys with million-dollar budgets—that´s who we are competing against online," he says. "The way they´re marketing is what´s really hurting us. Being nice and washing cars isn´t enough any more. Those businesses are using online marketing to get our customers."

OWNER: ST BILLINGSLEY
LOCATION: WOODBRIDGE, VA.

Digital Bootcamp
At SMX West 2014 in San Jose, Calif., one of the biggest digital marketing conferences in the world, you could find representatives from Google, Facebook, Bing and IBM.
And … some guy from Steve's Auto Repair.
For years prior to the conference, Billingsley, who bought Steve's with Scott Whitling in 2005, had grown increasingly frustrated with his shop's Internet marketing. Even after hiring a digital marketing consultant, he couldn't catch his largest competitors in Google search rankings.
So after purchasing his second facility ("I knew a competitor was going to move in there, so I thought, 'It might as well be me,'" Billingsley says of the decision), he wanted a crash course in differentiating his businesses on the Internet, leading him to SMX West.
"Some guy saw my badge and was like, 'What are you doing here?'" Billingsley says. "I told him my story, and after that, I had people coming up to me saying, 'Let me show you how the Internet works.' It was the best four days I ever spent on my business."
Those big players understood the numbers behind digital marketing and its growing importance—and those four days laid the groundwork of what would eventually become Billingsley's full-fledged marketing plan.
The Numbers Don't Lie
of Internet users said social media influences their purchases (IBM)
more people search for a product after targeted digital ads over standard ads (comScore Points)
of companies planned to increase digital marketing budgets in 2015 (Webbiquity)
of companies have dedicated social media teams in 2015 (iScoop)
of local searches on mobile devices result in a purchase (Search Engine Watch)
Customers don't give you business based on a Facebook post—it needs to speak to them. Billingsley says the focus should be on the effectiveness of your brand.
BUDGET THE TIME. Billingsley dedicates most of his day to social media—he uses Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google+, and Pinterest (among others)—and researching and executing digital marketing campaigns.
"Many owners work in the shop every day and don't have that luxury," he says, "so I recommend finding a workload that fits your schedule, or forming a marketing plan with a consultant or dedicated employee. Pick two or three campaigns to start, and go from there."
REMAIN CONSISTENT. The best way to be steady with your digital marketing presence, Billingsley says, is to practice first thing every morning.
"Walk into work and take photos of seemingly mundane jobs, and post them to whatever social media accounts you're using," he says.
Billingsley usually gets double-digit likes on his various social media channels.
TRACK YOUR EFFORTS. When customers walk in, ask how they discovered your shop and document how many vehicles came in through digital marketing efforts. In addition, monitor your position on Google searches, track click-through rates on Facebook and Google ads, and engagement with social media posts.
"How many clicks to your website equate to customers coming in the door?" Billingsley says. "Do you need 500 clicks to get 80 people? One-thousand clicks to get 80? Is that worth the money spent?"
Reaching Customers
Billingsley's digital marketing presence is exhaustive, to the point where it's become a full-time job. But he didn't get there until mastering Facebook and Google.
Facebook and Google+ accounts are easy to set up and populate. Billingsley says to establish the exact address of your business (it helps with searches) and post photos, videos, positive online reviews and stories from your blog a few times per month, coupled with generic hashtags: #automotive; #carrepair; #mechanic; #localshop.
Above all else, you're out to improve search rankings. For Billingsley, it started with establishing two Google+ accounts, which, as they've grown more extensive, have practically cemented his shops' top spots in "Woodbridge auto repair" searches.
A Google+ account doubles as a YouTube account. Billingsley's search rankings only grow stronger with videos using tags.
Billingsley says your website should be populated with keywords, photos and videos highlighting shop specialties. Blog posts should simply highlight car care tips and humdrum repairs at your shop.
For Billingsley, finding his key demographics and targeting them through Facebook and Google ads has been key.
"Whether you're just picking a zip code or you're trying to target down to family of four with a blue house and a big dog—you can almost go that far," he says.
Look at your market, study your database, and identify which customers are providing the most consistent work and highest AROs. Billingsley's target demographics and their locations will change as he gets into specific types of repairs and models. It's important to tinker with ads, change them often and find what provides the most conversions. Google AdWords are similar to Facebook ads and fairly inexpensive and easy to set up, Billingsley says.
Billingsley says budgets for online ads will depend on your location and change month to month, all based on bidding wars from competing shops. For example, Google AdWords' bidding on the term "oil change" is $3.02 per click in Staunton, Va. (population 23,000), but $5.62 in Woodbridge (population 54,000). Because of that, he sticks to ads targeting tire sales and brake jobs, which cost less.
Out-of-the-Box Digital Marketing Tips:
As Google Maps' biggest competitor, Waze offers directions and real-time updates on traffic. It's updated by its 50 million monthly users, and, as a business owner, you can promote your shop to passersby. "You can set up little marketing pages and ads, so when people stop at our intersection or come into our area, we show up," Billingsley says. Each day, 37,000 drivers pass through his shop's intersection (he's checked the Virginia Department of Transportation reports). His Waze ads produced 103,000 views, 116 engagements and 79 clicks. After two $50-per-month membership fees, it ends up being a $1.26 cost per click—at least one of those jobs more than makes up for the investment.
Billingsley is often approached about donations from nonprofits, cheerleaders, Boy Scouts, etc. And while he can't oblige everyone, he can still help. So, just over one year ago, he dreamt up What's Up Woodbridge, an online publication that highlights various local events and charities in Prince William County. He hired one person to run the website, which, in addition to regular news, posts two auto care stories each month—one from Steve's Auto Repair, and one from HomeTowne Auto Repair. And each of those stories reaches What's Up Woodbridge's 16,000 Facebook followers.
Blog Responses to Bad Reviews
Billingsley doesn't see a negative Yelp review as a hindrance—it's an opportunity. "If we get a bad review, we will write a blog post about whatever the issue is and make a video about it and how we're addressing it," he says. "Then we make a trackable link from my Yelp response to our website, and we gain traffic through that." "We've gone pretty far with it, I know," he adds. "We just like doing it. It's the best video game you can play. You either make money and your business survives, or you fail. And we don't want to fail."

AdWords: Is click to Text next?
/ By	Jeremy Templer
Not all Google's AdWords beta tests make it to public release, but this one caught our attention. Call ad extensions have been available in AdWords for several years; now Google is testing a Click to SMS ad extension that lets people text companies for more details on their products and services.
An example ad with the TEXT icon and new green ad label, found by Barry Schwartz at Search Engine Land.
Clicking on the TEXT icon next to an ad launches your default messaging app, pre-populating the text message with the advertiser's information.
If you're using a mobile device, you don't necessarily want to go to a website first to look for information when a phone call would be quicker and easier. There are similar benefits for consumers and advertisers alike in enabling people to directly contact an advertiser with a text request for more information.
Google has yet to make any official announcement as to when the new ad extension might be generally available. But while, as we've mentioned, not all AdWords beta tests see full release, we'd be surprised if this one didn't.

Changes between Version 1 and Version 2 of Saat Hindustani (1969)
Jan 27, 2012, 10:56:13 AM (10 years ago)
Saat Hindustani (1969)
lp Shahnaz, Madhu, Utpal Dutt, Madhukar, Anwar Ali, Amitabh Bachchan, Jalal Agha, Surekha, Sukhdeo, Prakash Thapa, Irshad Panjatan, Dina Pathak, A.K. Hangal, Anjali
[[Image(saat.jpg)]]
Remembered as one of Bachchan's first feature films, this is a non-violent variation of the Dirty Dozen (1967) with moralistic comments about contemporary India. Six men from different parts of the country join Maria (Shahnaz), a native of Portuguese-occupied Goa, to raise nationalist sentiment in that state by hoisting Indian flags on Portuguese forts and buildings. In the process they find unity and abandon their religious and regional differences. The film begins with a dying Maria who summons her former comrades and ends with the comrades assembling before her and reiterating their faith in nationalism. The film was released together with the controversial short Char Shaher Ek Kahani (1968). Apart from Bachchan, it was also the first Hindi film by Malayalam star Madhu, who played the Bengali commando.

columns - In the discipline of architecture, refers to cylindrical or slightly tapering, vertical members made to either give support or to appear to give support. They usually comprise three sections: base, capital, and shaft. The term also refers to all uprights in steel frame or concrete frame structures. Columns may occasionally stand alone as a monument, for example in Trajan's Column in Rome or Nelson's Column in London. Columns may be used as decorative elements on furniture. For square or rectangular members, either in masonry construction or classically treated, and for massive uprights in Medieval architecture, see "piers (supporting elements)"; for wooden square uprights, see "posts."

denarii - Roman silver coins originally valued at ten asses, later debased in value and purity; in use from the late 3rd century BCE until the mid-3rd century CE.
female - Referring to the sex that normally produces eggs or female germ cells.
Gods and Goddesses - Added June 2010 by M. Weldon
grain - General term for the small, hard seeds of various species in different genera of the grass family Poaceae, used as cereal plants, such as wheat, rice, corn, rye, or oats.
helmets - Any of various forms of protective coverings for the head, usually made of a hard material, including the outside steel layer of helmets that consist of inner and outer parts.
Ionic order - Refers to the architectural order characterized by capitals with volutes, richly carved moldings, and columns with bases.
litui - Hooked bronze trumpets of the Etruscans and Romans, consisting of a slender tube with a cylindrical bore, terminating in an upturned bell. The term continued in use in postclassical times, meaning crumhorns or cornetts, though in the 18th century it denoted brass instruments.
Republican - Refers to the period in history and style of art that developed when Rome was ruled by the Republic, from its founding in 509 BCE through the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE or the formal establishment of the Empire in 27 BCE. Art produced during this period reflects the political power, glories, and distinguished ancestors of the ruling families, resulting in many portraits and historical reliefs. The style is characterized by the influence of Classical Greek art and an emphasis on extreme realism.
silver - Pure metallic element having symbol Ag and atomic number 47; a malleable, ductile, white metal with characteristic sheen, considered a precious metal. Silver is widely distributed throughout the world, occurring rarely as metallic silver (in Peru, Norway) but more often as silver-gold alloys and silver ore. Today silver is obtained as a byproduct in the refinement of gold, lead, copper, or zinc ores. Silver was smelted from the ore galena as early as 3800 BCE. As a pure metal, silver is second to gold in malleability and ductility, can be polished to a highly reflective surface, and used -- typically in an alloy -- in jewelry, coinage, photography, mirrors, electrical contacts, and tableware.

The episode was a powerful finish to the first 6 shows of season 7. The 2012/2013 season is set to have a total 15 shows in all.
There's to be a Dr Who Christmas special, but so far no date and no name have been published for it.
The "Weeping Angels" were back for tonight's episode. This is the forth episode to feature the super spooky statues that only move when your not looking. In this episode they get a win, taking Amy and Rory back in time… for good.
Jumping forward to the Christmas special – we'll get to see Jenna-Louise Coleman as the new companion. If you saw the first episode of this season, "Asylum of the Daleks," you've already met her. She was the beautiful, confident and cocky Oswin Oswald, a junior officer and apparently last surviving member of the crashed starliner, Alaska.
But unknown to her, she has been converted into a Dalek. Will Dr Who go back into time to save her before that happens, or is that crossing his own timeline? Perhaps we'll find in the Christmas special.
The trailer for the Christmas special, just enough to be a teaser really, is below.
What did you think of "The Angels Take Manhattan," and how will they bring Oswin back? Leave your thoughts below!

Online Counterparty Loan: The Affluence Network: Wealth with Legs!
Thank you for coming to us in your search for "Online Counterparty Loan" online. It is definitely possible, but it must be able to understand opportunities no matter market conduct. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be okay. It should be hard to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more lucrative than attempting to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and compensation in monies that never have made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin design provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an amazing intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on very successful business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times) technology because of the many advantages associated with it. That is why the new technology is about to shift the world from the way we see it now. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is expanding the horizon in the field of smart contracts.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is simply vital that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can just choose to print unlimited amounts (I am not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company which could result in company being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to flow without interruption, in the appropriate location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these companies determine how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centered company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. You've probably seen this often where you usually spread the good word about crypto. "It's not risky? What goes on if the price crashes? " to date, several POS programs delivers free conversion of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people is going to be reluctant to keep any. We have to find a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Lots of people prefer to use a money deflation, notably those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place within your wealth, with the rest reserved for other currencies. When searching on the internet forOnline Counterparty Loan, there are many things to think of.
Online Counterparty Loan – Put The Affluence Network in YoWallet!
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Online Counterparty Loan. Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it's a fact you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you might be required fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You are able to see the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all present bitcoins. This situation is just not to imply that markets are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there is certainly no need for big sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest events on earth economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. As such, it's more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be attained by just being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. This mining task validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally. If you are looking for Online Counterparty Loan, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers claim that there is "real" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever declining amount of currency or some kind of wages so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The person who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the method where it's transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. After you're paid, you get paid. This isn't anything short term where your customers could challenge or demand a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, many investors could be smart to utilize a cost processor, because of the permanent character of crypto-currency orders, you should be sure that protection is hard. With any type of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially access your personal secrets and therefore steal your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly can never obtain it back. It is quite crucial for you really to embrace some great safe and secure procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. This may guard you from many of these bad events. In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could also be dealt as being a product. Advocates of cryptocurrencies proclaim that kind of digital cash isn't controlled by a fundamental banking system and it is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted quantity of goods, this coinis price is founded on market forces, permitting owners to industry over cryptocurrency exchanges.


Part of what makes this ending so powerful is a rhetorical device called metanoia. Metanoia is when a statement is retracted and then requalified. For example, "He was as big as a bear; no, a whale!" Because the device is a self-referential negation, it is common for the speaker to interject with "No," but not necessary.
In the example of Komunyakaa's Facing It, its function is to show how deeply the speaker is immersed in war reveries, and how easily he is brought back to reality. It is a mechanism for disillusionment. However, given the heavily-loaded image of the woman brushing the boy's hair, one might argue that the illusion, in this case, is never actually broken. No, it's one and the same with reality.
this way—the stone lets me go.
my own in letters like smoke.
I see the booby trap's white flash.
the names stay on the wall.
wings cutting across my stare.
The sky. A plane in the sky.
look through mine. I'm a window.
No, she's brushing a boy's hair.

Land grabbers sell Obafemi Awolowo University land worth N2.8 billion
April 11, 2019 Top stories
Obafemi Awolowo University
Soon, the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife in Osun State may become history.
Reason: Land grabbers and land speculators may soon sell every available plot of land belonging to the citadel of learning.
Already, the land grabbers have sold plots of land worth N2.8 billion. Now a plot of land on the premises goes for N5 million while an acre is sold for N30 million. The land grabbers were said to have illegally acquired 162 hectares of the OAU land.
To scare the original owners, the land grabbers reported to have prepared fetish objects known as "Ebo" in Yoruba land and placed on the acquired land.
Investigation showed that the land grabbers have done the lay out of the land with a conspicuous signboard bearing "Oduduwa Housing Estate, Parakin, Ile-Ife, Ife community," erected on the land.
Our correspondent, who visited the land yesterday, discovered that the land grabbers have stopped the on-going project, the international school of the institution. They reportedly chased away workers on the site and erected another signboard with the inscription: "Stop work, order, Ife community," on the land.
Meanwhile, the N2.8 billion has been causing problem in Ife community. Those who reportedly shared in the money were summoned to a meeting. The community leaders, who dissociated themselves from the sales of the land, reportedly reprimanded those who received out of the money.
Sources at the meeting said those who bought the land were Nigerians in the Diaspora. It was also discussed at the meeting the poisoning of the institution's dam by those who encroached on the university's land.
The sources added that some of the high chiefs and traditional rulers who were part of the illegal land deal had also been identified and that they would be dealt with accordingly.
The sources said Ife was not happy that those who used the name of the community for illegal deals had caused embarrassment to Ife indigenes.
According to the meeting, the action also portrays Ife community as being ungrateful to the institution which has contributed immensely to the advancement of Ife land and its environs.
Sources in the institution also said that some of those who bought the land had started approaching the institution for a meeting to look for a way to solve the issue amicably.
The institution's Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, yesterday conducted journalists round the land. It was discovered that three blocks of hostels on the land which could accommodate 360 students have been abandoned by the institution's management in order not to risk the students' lives.
Also, a caterpillar used to clear the land was seen on the land.
Olarewaju told journalists that it was not possible to cede the institution's land to individuals and wondered why a group of people could decide to appropriate the land.
The PRO, however, said authorities of the institution had taken all necessary steps to address the matter.

He promised that efforts would be made to protect the lives of students and those of other stakeholders in the institution.
Olarewaju said the school management would use everything within its reach to ensure that the master plan of the institution was not tampered with.
He accused those he described as dubious individuals of invading the land which was earmarked for the university by the then late Oba Adesoji Aderemi when the institution was established in the 1960s.
The disputed land, according to the PRO, is about 162 hectares.
The PRO said some individuals, who claimed their land was taken for the university when it was established in 1961, had been selling some portions of the land.
Olarewaju also described the poisoning of the institution's dam as an act of genocide against members of OAU.
Olanrewaju said the chemical used in poisoning the dam, which was the only source of water for the university, killed all the aquatic animals in it.
However, the PRO said the dam had been treated and was now safe for consumption.
He said: "The act is condemnable and wicked. How can a group of people poison the only dam where the over 36,000-strong university population was drinking from. The act is genocidal and wicked.
"They came through the Parakin area of the town to poison the dam but God was so good to us that immediately the dam was poisoned, rain fell for two days which washed the poisonous chemical away.
"We have treated the water and laboratory test had been done on it and now it is very safe to drink."
Olarewaju also said OAU land "belongs to the Federal Government".
He added that the university was not ready to concede it to anybody.
The PRO spoke on the decision to abandon the hostel.
He said: "For the safety of our children in the university, the vice-chancellor instructed us not to allocate any of 360 rooms newly built hostel to them.
"The vice-chancellor has also instructed our security men not to retaliate but it is not possible for anyone to invade Federal Government land for personal gain because the land is gazetted.
"We have informed the police and other security agencies and we believe they will act accordingly.
"We have also informed the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and Ife Development Board."
Olarewaju, however, said that anyone who was ready to use any portion of the land for the generality of the people and not for personal gain could approach the university for consideration.

No Comments on A Man of Many Talents
In the video posted above, Peter wrote Hyperscore motifs for members of the early Harmony Line staff and paired them, using Perl, with the Avatar images drawn by Facemelter. The first image is M.I.T. student designer Mary Farbood, followed by Bhob Rainey, Facemelter, Richard Resnick, Garry Griffin, Sunny Chang and Henry Kaufman (who all had adorable Avatar names that shall remain unpublished unless I'm given permission to blog them here!). Peter calls this work "a combination of visual art and music in that the music was inspired both by the people and their avatar personae, which were inspired from the people as well".
Early interests in Music Technology
Peter Torpey, New Harmony Line's Chief Technology Officer, has been involved with Hyperscore since WAY BACK. Peter grew up interested in choir, the violin and a recorder group. In the mid 90's, he dabbled with composition, looking especially for a technology program to compose with. In 2003, Peter met some of the students who were working on Hyperscore at a conference. He became a dedicated user of H-Lounge (an online Hyperscore Community) and was well-known to Harmony Line due to the "…over 100 bug reports I submitted". Not surprisingly, he was invited to do Beta testing for Harmony Line from 2006-2007. He "liked the way Hyperscore thought about the process of composition" and how it used the rules of western harmony.
Media Experience Artist
Tod Machover, Professor of Music and Media, met Peter in 2007 and encouraged him to apply for Machover's Opera of the Future Group through the M.I.T. Media Lab. Peter received his Doctorate from M.I.T. and now works as an "independent contractor providing services that span the possibilities of integrating technologies into live performance and artistic experience". PLEASE check out his amazing work using this link: https://web.media.mit.edu/~patorpey/
Web-based Hyperscore 5
In his spare time over the last 10 years, Peter has been re-writing Hyperscore to be web-based. His goal is to create a stable web platform that evolves and won't become obsolete as code changes. Starting in December of 2021, he began working on the back end of the web-based version with the future vendor and most looks forward to changing the instrument sets as he sorts through various sound sources. June Kinoshita, Executive Director, and I are constantly amazed at the vision and resources Peter provides for a product we all love. Thank you for sharing your time and talents, C.T.O. Torpey!

No Comments on Hyperscore origins
Take a peek "behind the curtain" at the history of Hyperscore by visiting the Resources page on our website under "Hyperscore: In-depth". With New Harmony Line's upcoming launch of Hyperscore as a web-based, user-friendly composition tool, we think it is important to acknowledge the students who wrote the program, Morwaread "Mary" Farbood and Egon Pasztor, who were in the Opera of the Future Group at M.I.T. Media Lab, and Kevin Jennings, a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin. Please enjoy a look back at 2004 when the original Hyperscore creators were profiled in this IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications article.
Here they write: "The fundamental idea of Hyperscore is that anyone can perform two key creative activities without musical training: compose short melodies and describe the large-scale shape of a piece. Providing graphical means to engage in these two activities forms the basis for Hyperscore's functionality." This powerful insight by the original creators explains why Hyperscore has enduring appeal and remains unique to this day among music technologies for education.
Currently, Egon is Founding Engineer of Relyance AI. Mary is an Associate Professor and Associate Director of Music Technology at NYU. Kevin is Global Director Talent Development at Study Group, an international education provider.
IEEE is the not-for-profit Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers with the mission of "advancing technology for humanity".
