Children Missing Education
Schools' responsibilities Schools must enter pupils on the admission register at the beginning of the first day on which the school has agreed, or been notified, that the pupil will attend the school. If a pupil fails to attend on the agreed or notified date, the school will undertake reasonable enquiries to establish the child's whereabouts and consider notifying the local authority at the earliest opportunity. We will monitor pupils' attendance through the daily register.
It is our duty to inform the local authority of the details of pupils who fail to attend regularly, or have missed ten school days or more without permission. We monitor attendance closely and address poor or irregular attendance. It is important that pupils' poor attendance is referred to the local authority. Where a pupil has not returned to school for ten days after an authorised absence or is absent from school without authorisation for twenty consecutive school days, the pupil can be removed from the admission register when the school and the local authority have failed, after jointly making reasonable enquiries, to establish the whereabouts of the child. This only applies if the school does not have reasonable grounds to believe that the pupil is unable to attend because of sickness or unavoidable cause.
We have have a safeguarding duty in respect of our pupils, and as part of this we will investigate any unexplained absences. Further information about schools' safeguarding responsibilities can be found in the Keeping children safe in education statutory guidance.
Long Whatton's internal arrangements include:
• Daily checks of all registers
• First Day calling
• EWO visits
• Letters to parents when attendance below 95%
• School support and intervention, after consultation with the EWO, for any pupil/ family where a pupils' attendance rate drops further
• Following SCC CME procedures
Recording information in the school's admission register
It is important that the school's admission register is accurate and kept up to date. We regularly encourage parents to inform us of any changes whenever they occur, through using existing communication channels such as regular emails. This will assist both the school and local authority when making enquiries to locate children missing education. Where a parent notifies the school that a pupil will live at another address, we are required to record in the admission register:
a. the full name of the parent with whom the pupil will live
b. the new address
c. the date from when it is expected the pupil will live at this address.
Where a parent of a pupil notifies the school that the pupil is registered at another school or will be attending a different school in future, we must record in the admission register
a. the name of the new school
b. the date when the pupil first attended or is due to start attending that school.
Sharing information with the local authority we must notify the local authority when a pupil's name is to be removed from the admission register at a non-standard transition point under any of the fifteen grounds set out in the regulations, as soon as the ground for removal is met and no later than the time at which the pupil's name is removed from the register. This duty does not apply at standard transition points – where the pupil has completed the school's final year – unless the local authority requests for such information to be provided.
Where we notify the local authority that a pupil's name is to be removed from the admission register, the school must provide the local authority with:
a. the full name of the pupil
b. the full name and address of any parent with whom the pupil lives
c. at least one telephone number of the parent with whom the pupil lives
d. the full name and address of the parent who the pupil is going to live with, and the date the pupil is expected to start living there, if applicable
e. the name of pupil's destination school and the pupil's expected start date there, if applicable
f. the ground in regulation 8 under which the pupil's name is to be removed from the admission register
All schools are required to notify the local authority within five days when a pupil's name is added to the admission register at a non-standard transition point. We need to provide the local authority with all the information held within the admission register about the pupil. This duty does not apply when a pupil's name is entered in the admission register at a standard transition point – at the start of the first year of education normally provided by that school – unless the local authority requests for such information to be provided. Providing information on standard transitions we are under an automatic duty to provide information to the local authority for non-standard transitions. This relates to pupils removed from the admission register before completing the final year of education normally provided by the school, or pupils added to the admission register after the start of the first year of education normally provided by that school.
Schools are also only under a duty to provide information to the local authority for standard transitions if a local authority requests that schools make such returns. This relates to pupils removed from the school's admission register after the pupil has completed the final year of education normally provided by the school, or pupils added to the admission register at the start of the first year of education normally provided by the school. For the majority of pupils, a standard transition occurs when a pupil moves between a primary and secondary school, but this can also include other types of schools including where pupils move between infant and junior schools and in local areas with three-tier education systems with first, middle and high schools. In a small number of cases, pupils removed from the admission register in one school would be a standard transition but their transfer to another school would be a non-standard transition and vice-versa. For example, a pupil leaving a primary school at the end of Year 2 is a non-standard transition, but their transfer to a junior school at the beginning of Year 3 is a standard transition. In such cases, only the school where the non-standard transition occurs is under an automatic duty to notify the local authority. The local authority would need to make a request for the information from the other school, if they required information on the standard transition. There is no expectation for local authorities to request information from schools on pupils for standard transitions.
Making reasonable enquiries The term 'reasonable enquiries' grants schools and local authorities a degree of flexibility in decision-making, particularly as the steps that need to be taken in a given case will vary. The term 'reasonable' also makes clear that there is a limit to what the school and local authority is expected to do. In line with the duty under section 10 of the Children Act 2004, the expectation is that the school and the local authority will have in place procedures designed to carry out reasonable enquiries. The type of procedures may include the appropriate person checking with relatives, neighbours, landlords – private or social housing providers – and other local stakeholders who are involved. They should also record that they have completed these procedures. If there is reason to believe a child is in immediate danger or at risk of harm, a referral should be made to children's social care (and the police if appropriate). A pupil's name can only be removed from the admission register if the school and the local authority have failed to establish the pupil's whereabouts after jointly making reasonable enquiries. As set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children statutory guidance, the Local Safeguarding Children Board should agree with the local authority and its partners a threshold document, which includes the criteria for when a case should be referred to local authority children's social care for assessment and for statutory services. In addition, local authorities, with their partners, should develop and publish local protocols for assessment, which set out clear arrangements for how cases will be managed once a child is referred into local authority children's social care. At Long Whatton C of E School if a child is not in school by 9.30 and we have not been advised of the absence, we will begin investigations/internal arrangements until we are assured that that child is safe, (e.g. first day calling, and if necessary informing the EWO, calling the police etc.).

Twisted RECAP 7/9/13: Episode 5 "The Fest and the Furious"
BY Cate Meighan on July 9, 2013 | Comments: 6 comments
Related : Recap, Television, Twisted
Tonight on ABC Family TWISTED continues with a new episode called, "The Fest and the Furious." On tonight's show Lacey discovers a secret about Regina that could shed new light on the murder investigation. Did you watch last week's show? We did and we recapped it here for you.
On last week's show Lacey's mom Judy invited Jo to a sleepover, much to Lacey's dismay. Despite the promise of an incredibly awkward evening, Jo seized the opportunity to get closer to Regina's friends and uncover potential evidence that pointed to another suspect in her murder. Tess persuaded Karen to reconnect with her old friends, only to have it end in humiliation when Regina's mother Gloria viciously confronted Karen about Danny. Meanwhile, Danny had his first soccer match and struggled to stay on civil terms with Archie and his teammates, and Kyle stepped up his investigation.
On tonight's show the residents of Green Grove celebrate the town's annual Fall Festival and Lacey discovers a secret about Regina that could shed new light on the murder investigation.
Tonight's episode looks like it is going to be great and you won't want to miss it, so be sure to tune in for our live coverage of ABC's Family 's "Twisted" at 9:00 PM EST! While you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you think of season 1 of Twisted, so far? Also, check out a sneak peek of tonight's episode below!
Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Lacey had a dream/nightmare about Regina. She talked to her friend about her possible attraction to Danny. Lacey then begins to ask her dead friend about the necklace. So Regina confronts Lacey on how she also suspects Danny of killing her. Why else would she ask about the necklace?
Jo is having breakfast with her family when her mom mentions tonight's festival. Jo feels like she's too old for that and her dad is hoping Danny feels the same. Kyle still feels Danny killed Regina despite not finding the necklace at his house. Jo wants him to think about who gave Regina the necklace and her mom agrees with her. Still Kyle is focusing in on Danny while claiming he's tracking the new lead. He just wants his family away from the Desais.
And more importantly to back him. Later when he's standing in front of a town council, people are openly questioning why he let his daughter hang out with a killer. They want to band Danny from the festival and they don't care anything about Danny's rights.
Jo just wants everyone to give Danny a chance. When they're at the pizzeria they even begin to talk about all festivals before the whole him killing his aunt. His therapist also advised him to go. Lacey doesn't want him to go. She thinks it would be selfish. However after learning about the necklace's origins she wants some answers herself. She asks Regina's mom about the necklace only to find out it was gift someone had given. Although Lacey does offer Regina's mom some help in sorting out the condolences letters. Who knows what she'll find.
Danny is helping the pie stand at the festival. Rico wanted some help but technically he only wanted Jo's help. He upset and sulking when a man starts in on calling Danny names. A woman comes to his defense by trying everyone he's still just a kid yet when Danny 's hand touches the guy, the guy throws him in the pie stand. Sheriff manages to end the conflict.
Rico is still angry and when Jo mentions how they can have fun at the formal; Rico is angry that now she wants to go. For Danny.
Danny is getting more pies when he run into the sheriff. Kyle offers to carry the pies back to Rico and then he tells Danny it would be for the bet if he didn't attend the formal tonight. Jo would be the better for it.
Danny's mom, Karen, doesn't trust her son either. At least not anymore. Earlier she was nervous when her son was cutting up his fruit. She also tried to catch him by saying she was giving away his dad's chair. Now she's visiting his therapist. Karen hid her concern from the doctor by asking what a sociopath is so that she can explain why Danny isn't one. The truth She really wants to know whether her son is a sociopathic killer. But how will that affect their relationship.
Lacey is going through the mail like she promised and she finds a letter that appears to be responding to blackmail. Hundred dollars bills included with a note that says it's the final installment.
Jo had changed her mind about going after Danny said he wouldn't but her mom, who always wanted to see her in a dress, convinces otherwise. Jo is decked out in a dress on Danny's doorstep doing her best to get him to come with her. Danny is getting dressed when his mom helps him with his tie. He thanks her and she tells him she'll always help him.
Lacey is at the formal. She is at a semi-memorial for Regina when she sees Regina's mom. They talk for a little bit but Regina's mom is still too sad to want be in a crowd.
Jo and Danny arrive for the festival and then have to face her dad and the mayor trying to kick Danny out. But to do so would be the front page for tomorrow's paper. The kids are allowed to stay. Nevertheless the mayor takes it too far by getting Danny to participate in events. People started to leave.
The mayor isn't too happy. He feels if Kyle had done his job then he wouldn't have had to play nice with Danny. Kyle is too ticked off to accept enjoying the evening and ditches his wife.
Danny and Jo are dancing close together. Rico sees them and that's when it finally hits. Jo won't ever see him with Danny around. He leaves before seeing Danny rush off the dance floor. Lacey sent him to a message. She gives him Regina's letter but doesn't want to go to the police. She can't ruin the memory of her friend. Danny is upset and he's also upset that she's only willing to meet him in dark corners. That is when it happened the kiss. Lacey kissed him but when she broke it off and was about to walk away, Danny kisses her.
Jo sees Rico and invites him to the pizzeria. He snaps. He confronts Jo on how does he know she can even trust Danny. Is it the truth or is it plain jealous. Confrontations aren't over. Kyle demands explanations on why Danny is taking his wife's class. She defends herself by saying he can't find any proof Danny killed Regina and also their daughter is the happiest she's been in a while.
Danny and Lacey take the letter and show it to Jo.
Karen has gotten rid of the necklace. She threw it off a pier but what she didn't know was that Rico saw. The same Rico that wants Danny away from Jo.

The SR520 floating bridge wins the US National Engineering Award
Kimball May 22, 2017 The SR520 floating bridge wins the US National Engineering Award2017-05-22T11:20:07+00:00 Civil Engineering No Comment
The new SR 520 floating bridge, located on Washington Lake in Seattle, was inaugurated on April 25, 2016 to replace the previous bridge built in 1963. It is the longest in the world in its category and has just won the National Award Engineering Association awarded by American Council of Engineering Companies | ACEC.
'This is one of the great engineering works of our time' – Roger Millar, Secretary of State of Washington Transportation.
It has a cost of about 4,000 million dollars, has a length of 2300 meters (only 40 meters longer than the previous bridge), has a depth of 65.2 meters, forms a path of 4750 meters and is built so that Remain unperturbed for 100 years.
Have you ever wondered why they have used a floating bridge and not a conventional suspension bridge?
The answer is simple. Lake Washington in its depths is filled with soft sediment and it would be risky and difficult to carry out other types of works other than that.
The engineers designed the new bridge to better withstand possible earthquakes, larger waves and withstand wind storms of up to 150 km / h. It has also expanded to include additional lanes, two lanes for public transportation and a bike / pedestrian lane on one of the banks. In the future, you could retrofit the light rail if required.
The model structure consists of three substructures and two stability pontoons.
With the longitudinal pontoon, they form the substructure 1 and the substructure 2, composed of the frame of piles of the bridge, is connected by frames located in the bases of the piles to the substructure 1. Finally the substructure 3 represents the board of the bridge and joins to the piles of the substructure 2 through frames located in the heads of the piles.

With regard to the mechanical properties of the structure, it should be noted that for the stacks and the panel a prestressed concrete of similar characteristics to the HP-40 has been used, whereas the pontoons are made of steel plates of thickness = 225 mm. For example, the standard pontoon has a length of 110 meters, a width of 23 meters and a height of 8.5 meters.
In the following figures is shown schematically the main section and the floor of the bridge.
With this geometry, dimensions and mechanical properties that the engineers have designed, the structure can float, being submerged under water 7.5 meters of the height of the pontoons. Then it uses a system of mooring with cables of steel of almost 8 centimeters of thickness.
The following images describe how the new floating bridge was built …
Below we leave a video where they provide an overview of the reasons why the new floating bridge SR 520 was built and some of the solutions that the project team developed efficiently to build the longest floating bridge in the world:
Finally, we leave you with this short documentary where tells the story of the new floating bridge across Washington Lake in Seattle, Washington:

North Korea has continued firing missiles, including a intermediate-range ballistic missile without warning last week.
The missile, believed to have been a Rodong, landed within Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Fortunately, the missile caused no damage. But it was an extremely dangerous act that cannot be overlooked.
North Korea clearly violates resolutions of the United Nations Security Council whenever it fires a ballistic missile. The Security Council discussed how to respond to the latest in a series of missile launches but failed to issue a statement condemning Pyongyang.
Japan, the United States and South Korea lobbied for a fresh statement that strongly denounces North Korea's action.
But China effectively blocked the attempt apparently because of the decision by Washington and Seoul in July to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to U.S. forces in South Korea. Beijing has bitterly criticized the move because it fears the high-performance radars for the anti-missile system could be used to gather sensitive information within China.
North Korea has repeatedly ignored warnings from the U.N. Security Council. But it is still important for the international community to clearly show that it will never tolerate Pyongyang's nuclear or missile programs.
The U.N. Security Council, however, has been unable to issue any statement to condemn North Korea's missile firings since Washington and Seoul announced the deployment of the THAAD system. This can only be called an abnormal situation.
The relationship between China, under President Xi Jinping, and South Korea, under President Park Geun-hye, was once described as being at its best state in history. But the bilateral ties have since become seriously strained.
The souring of relations has already started hurting economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries. China has stopped issuing business visas to South Koreans, for instance.
South Korean media reports have argued that China is making reprisals for Seoul's decision to allow the U.S. military to deploy the THAAD system in South Korea.
Despite the shaky state of the relationship between China and North Korea, Beijing is still Pyongyang's biggest ally.
North Korea is undoubtedly gloating over the end of the China-South Korea honeymoon.
Regarding the responses to North Korea's reckless actions, a rift is widening not just between China and South Korea but also between two groups of countries: the alliance of Tokyo, Washington and Seoul against China and Russia.
The United States and South Korea think the escalation of North Korea's actions is forcing them to take necessary countermeasures. But China and Russia believe the two countries are using Pyongyang's behavior as a pretext to beef up their military capabilities.
If the two groups become increasingly alienated from each other, North Korea would be even more willing to take provocative actions.
All these nations should be committed to preventing Pyongyang and its dangerous acts from destabilizing the entire East Asia.
It is vital for the countries involved to act in a cool-headed manner. In particular, China should realize that North Korea is the country it should put pressure on.
The unpredictable behavior of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is forcing the United States and South Korea to ramp up their missile defense.
Washington and Seoul should seek more dialogue with China and Russia to nip seeds of misunderstandings in the bud.
Discord among the countries concerned would only be a boon to North Korea.

Home VPB Forums Forums Visual Pinball & VPinMame Development VPinMame Development Roms gone on VPU?
This topic contains 36 replies, has 13 voices, and was last updated by Cadelle32 3 months, 3 weeks ago.
Just noticed there are no roms available for download at VPUniverse.
Are they updating? or has something else happened?
Hope it is just an update.
Gottlieb roms had to go on VPForums. Whatever that means….
I know about the DMCA Takedown notice for the Gottlieb roms at VPForums.
But VPU has no roms now.
im sure vpu is redoing stuff but yeah vpu sure cannot be hosting Gottlieb roms either. The Pinball database can't even host them!!! Nobody can or ever could.
Yes I know about the Gottlieb rom situation.
I remember when IPDB removed them a long time ago.
Also all Gottlieb manuals were removed.
Wildman (Administrator) said he is looking into why the roms have disappeared over at VPUniverse.
I am sure they will get it sorted soon.
But as of this message the roms are still not there.
Hope its just a server error or something like that.
Gottlieb doesn't make new roms. And I have all the roms VPM currently supports. I'm not a US citizen, and I don't care one bit about DMCA. The roms ain't gone – lets put it that way for now – ok ?
Not sure how this got us all talking about Gottlieb roms, but I was just talking about all the roms are down on VPU.
I think it only came up because the timing is a bit suspicious considering VPF pulled their Gottlieb ROMs about a week ago on request.
Someone screwed up doing a server update and wiped/unlinked the ROMs on VPU.
Gottlieb sent a DMCA to VPU and someone there panicked and deleted everything instead of just the Gottlieb ROMs, or just decided it was safer to do so for speed and reupload the "safe" ROM files later.
Gottlieb sent a DMCA to VPU around the time they sent one to VPF, it wasn't responded to, and they went to the host provider, who just wiped all the ROMs than try to figure out which ones needed to go. Which is odd, because a DMCA request of that nature usually results in the entire site taken offline rather than be even that surgical.
Well all the roms are still all gone as of this message also.
I know it is probably just something simple, but my paranoia kicks in and tells me different.
I always think the worst for some reason.
Would be a sad day if only way to get roms now, was to secretly get them from "questionable" sites.
Or having to ask a friend who already has them.
Seriously though, I hope all gets back to normal soon.
Me and a friend (HiRez00), have decided not to use any more Gottlieb tables for mods, as people might have a hard time finding the roms.
Sad but true. Have to change with the times.
Change with the times? Gottlieb roms should never have been hosted on any site. That's nothing new just been done illegally for all these years is all.
Although the Gottlieb roms have been illegal for quite some time, that has not stopped table authors from making Gottlieb tables that use said roms, on any of the pinball sites. All of the pinball sites have Gottlieb tables that require a Gottlieb rom , for them to function properly.
I was just explaining why me and HiRez00 , will not be using Gottlieb tables for mods in the future.
I like to adhere to rules when I can.
There is a good point there, randr.
As a note, I know in one of Adam Savage's "Still Untitled" podcasts a couple of months ago, he talked a bit about the "garage prop kit" scene a bit, more importantly that the IP holders are pretty much aware of everyone operating in that space, and what they're actively involved in. They allow a certain amount of the hobbyist activity (although in a few cases "tolerate" is the operative word for it), and will issue cease and desist letters when one of them takes reproduction castings and the like "too far", and I'm not surprised that Gottlieb stepped in with VPF finally, given what I've seen of their actions on the hobbyist level. I can see the small handful of higher profile incidents where people have crossed the line in terms of Visual Pinball, such as the Ghostbusters LE release over on MonsterPincab that Farsight C&D'd last year, might have pushed Gottlieb into the "they're going too far now" view and finally taking action on VPF and possibly VPU. We're lucky that Scientific (Bally Williams) hasn't shown that, and that Stern has had a gentleman's agreement with the community.
I'm not a fan of Gottlieb's stringent Copyright Maximalist approach, but more from the "increasing the minimum cost" on getting physical machines they made working again, which I smacked into when we got a System 1 Solar Ride that needed work to even coin up. I can't recommend Gottlieb machines to anyone just entering the pinball hobby for that reason, because you're either relying on non-manual troubleshooting walkthroughs that have to omit certain operating details, or shelling out upwards of $100 for a Pinball Resource photocopy of a complete manual set for a machine (really hard to justify when the machine might not be worth even $500), not to mention the issue of acquiring ROMs if you ever have to repopulate a machine's original board set. I understand that they have the rights to demand it be that way, but I don't have to like it as a hobbyist. Part of me is kind of afraid the "other shoe" might drop with Gottlieb, and they might demand all the sites pull the table files as well "because they use Gottlieb copyrighted assets".
Regarding VPU, I'm curious as to what's really happened, my speculation aside, but I'm also expecting if it's anything other than a server error, that we won't see any ROMs ever return there at that point, like how emuparadise yanked their files when Nintendo hit those other two sites with lawsuits.
I used to service arcade and pinballs out in the field in early 90's and you could not get Gottlieb Roms even back then but could get Williams and others off the internet with no troubles. Back then i had a CD-Rom with Gottlieb Roms incase i had to burn an eprom so again this is nothing new.
throw enough cash at someone and they will gladly give you roms.
If I had any spare change I would have set up a seedbox with all the roms available via torrent.
Just don't agree with the current extended copyright laws, they currently run almost totally in counter to the original intent of copyright law.
I'm sure vpu must be doing maintenance or something?
very strange that vpf gave zero details on the removal of the unauthorized hosted content.
I am hoping it is just maintenance or something like that for VPU.
Gottlieb roms have been removed from vpforums.org as requested.
But the same post is also on front page of VPF..
I have got most of my roms from IPDB, just like you Randr.
No idea. Don't host 'em; I just post 'em.
Don't know about back catalog code and hacks. Share amongst yourselves for now, I guess.
Well it's not looking good if Carnypriest AND Wildman are not sure what happened to the roms.
I hope for the best, but my paranoia makes me think the worst.
I agree with Randr, a huge thanks to Carnypriest for all he has done for this community.

In a previous post I talked about how to deploy serverless functions to an OpenFaaS cluster with ease. This post expands on this to show how we deployed a Machine Learning algorithm to colourise black & white videos using OpenFaaS. We presented the end result of this at DockerCon EU 2017 in the Community Theatre in Copenhagen.
After DockerCon in April of this year, I spotted this post on Mashable with some really cool examples of colourised photos from World War Two. This really hit home with me because they really bring the era to life; colour photos give you far more context than monotone photos do.
I started to wonder how feasible it would be to try and do this in an automated way. My friend Oli Callaghan explained how it would be possible to do this with Machine Learning and AI so we began to think about how we could actually go about doing this.
Oli jumped right in and started developing a neural network from scratch with C++ & OpenCL. Progress was good but we weren't going to be able to complete the program before DockerCon.
We also found that the network was quite slow to train due to not having the knowledge about how we could optimise the learning using things like loss functions. The source code for this is available on GitHub.
Even though we decided not to use this approach in the end, we learnt an awful lot about how neural networks work and all the background behind them. This is really valuable to us because now we can apply this knowledge to other things we might do with machine learning.
Tensorflow is a machine learning framework developed by Google which gives you an easy interface to build machine learning models. We attempted to train our own model using Tensorflow but ran into memory & performance issues. We simply couldn't train the network fast enough to have it done in time for DockerCon.
The final approach was to utilise a model trained by the authors of the research by PhD students at the University of Berkley we were building upon. They wrote the original network using Caffe & then trained it on images from ImageNet (a big database of images from the internet) which as a result, works really well because it's been trained on a lot of data (~4.5M images).
We have three main components to the app.
From top to bottom, a full execution takes about 10s.
Having decided on our method for running the network, we next needed to work out how to deploy this so we could demo it at DockerCon. It turns out that OpenFaaS (the open source framework for deploying serverless functions) makes this really simple because it can deploy anything which will run in a container. The code for executing the network was written in Python which made it really easy to deploy to OpenFaaS.
Having got a PoC running on a small scale server in the cloud, we started to load test it. OpenFaaS automatically scaled our functions, however the processes were too CPU-intensive (we only had two CPUs) for us to deploy this at any kind of scale. We started running out of memory & the CPU was blocking when trying to convert more than on image at a time.
To combat this issue, we got in touch with Packet who are a bare metal server provider. They very kindly gave us some credit on their platform which allowed us to deploy a much more powerful server on their infrastructure. This server had 32GB DDR4 & 4 physical cores backed by an SSD - pretty sweet! We were able to deploy 16 replicas of our colourisation function without it even stressing. This came in super handy when the delightful people at DockerCon hammered our service during the talk.
We chose to deploy on Docker Swarm instead of Kubernetes, simply because I have more knowledge of swarm than k8s. OpenFaaS supports both out of the box, so it's entirely up to you.
The OpenFaaS community has been very supportive of us, helping test, develop and inspire Oli and I to keep improving the project. Although the original idea was ours, the development and deployment has been a group effort.
In particular, we'd like to say a massive thank you to OpenFaaS's project lead, Alex Ellis for his continued help and support. He's been a great mentor, giving us invaluable advice on various different aspects varying from presentation guidance to OpenFaaS setup and configuration. He's even written a neat function which normalises the images to help with the sepia effect which has given great results.
We were showing our project to some pretty cool people at the EMC party at DockerCon - including Chloe Condon and Jonas Rosland. It was amazing to receive these kind words from people I respect so much.
Our original goal was to colourise a black & white video to bring it to life. We made it work for photos, but were we able to make it work for videos? Yes. And as far as we know, no one has ever done this before with machine learning.
This works by splitting the video up into frames and the dropping them into the OpenFaaS function stack, gathering up the colourised frames and stitching them back together with ffmpeg.
We showed that it's possible to deploy an advanced machine learning algorithm on OpenFaaS - zero configuration, zero hassle. Just setup your function, pipe the input in and then pipe the output back out the other end.
We've also shown how easy it is to learn about machine learning using popular frameworks such as Tensorflow & Caffe. Using these programs, it's very easy (although not always quick) to create complex machine learning models to suit your needs.
In the future we'd like to run the conversions on GPUs so that we can leverage the power of graphics processors to run our network even faster. We think we can decrease execution time by a factor of 100 (5s -> 50ms) by using a GPU.
We'd also like to try running our network on a recurrent network, which learns from the frames that came before the current one. This should help with the video conversion which appears to flicker because some of the frames are slightly incorrect.
Our slides are available here and you can watch our DockerCon talk below. Oli has also written a post about the ins and outs (pun intended) of machine learning and also goes over how we adapted our program for video.
The 20 failed tweetbacks were due to hitting Twitter's API limits again, which has now been solved by some clever code written by Alex which will requeue failed function calls - stay tuned for more info on that!
It should be noted that @colorisebot is not intended to be a replacement for professional image colourisation. We wanted to build a proof of concept using machine learning, make it highly accessible via Twitter and see how fast we could make it run.

Property classified as Municipal Interest Heritage, built in 1966, designed by the architect Jorge Viana, is considered an exemplary work of the Modernism architecture.
The works of remodelling were based on an architecture project that kept the original features of the house.
In the outside area, the initial construction materials were recovered, such as the tiles "Viúva Lamego", the Cascais blue stone or the exposed concrete.
The villa is distributed by three floors and a terrace that offers a panoramic view over the city. It is composed by five bedrooms (three suites), a wide living room with direct access to the kitchen and to the garden, a laundry area, several garden areas and a garage.
-	A garden in the entrance of the house.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience a daily life in a traditional neighbourhood of Lisbon, in a classical house, to debut, with a twist of modernity!

Omotenashi Dining is a Japanese home dining service which specialises in serving authentic Japanese food in the comfort of your own home.
Hello, my name is Yuko.
Having lived in UK for over 10 years I have seen exposure to Japan and Japanese food rise steadily. This could be due to the many travel and nature programmes on TV, or maybe the increasing popularity of national chain restaurants serving Japanese inspired food, or the very cheffy (and expensive!) restaurants in the big cities where many people dare not go as they don't have a clue what to order. However, the image of Japanese food has on the whole remained static, namely sushi, noodles, soy sauce and maybe teriyaki sauce or wasabi.
I often get together with family and friends to enjoy Japanese food at home. Using locally available produce alongside ingredients and condiments brought back from Japan, my kitchen becomes a culinary laboratory in order to recreate the taste I miss so much. Believe it or not raw fish or sushi do not appear on the table often because there is so much more to enjoy in the wide variety of Japanese food!
It is my aim to share the experience of tasting this authentic Japanese food through my home dining service, Omotenashi Dining.
The Omotenashi Dining service is available within an area defined approximately by a line drawn from Leicester to Corby, to Northampton, to Coventry and back to Leicester; that is South Leicestershire, North Northamptonshire and East Warwickshire.
Omotenashi is loosely defined as the art of selfless hospitality and it is a cornerstone of Japanese culture. The word represents the act of prioritising guests by providing unobtrusive personalised service in a variety of ways to allow clients to spend a memorable and relaxing time.

Some gadgets that can be used by students to significantly improve their experience and crack exams and enroll into prestigious educational institutes are listed below.
The importance and significance of a Smartphone in one's day to day life goes without saying, however, the applications of a Smartphone in the space of a student is one that absolutely cannot be ignored.
A Smartphone can be used by students for a variety of things like note taking, making schedules, using the calculator etc. These functions are available physically as well, but to have all of them integrated in one device is both convenient and time saving.

Laptops are definitely one of the most important gadgets required for the modern day student. A laptop has numerous applications ranging from making notes to doing research online.

A Portable W-Fi router can be purchased for around Rs. 1,000-2,000.


I've got something exciting to tell you!
And, we are starting this new feature off with a bang. How about a chance to win the amazing Lisa Samson's new book?
Today's Question: If we peeked in your closet, what color would we see the most of?
My Answer: I'm kind of boring. It's mostly black and white. My daughter thinks that's because I like to dress to match our dog (not sure why I would do that, but....), but it's really because I find it's easy to make outfits that way. But I do love to wear turquoise too.
4. Closing date to enter for this book is: February 28. Winner will be announced on March 1.
Today's Book is The Sky Beneath My Feet by Lisa Samson!
Beth's absolutely sure her husband is a man of faith, but she's beginning to suspect he may also be certifiably crazy.
Since Rick became the Men's Pastor at The Community, he's lost touch with Beth and their two teenage sons. As a result, she's begun to regret all that she gave up to be with him. Her one hope on the horizon is Rick's month-long vacation. Maybe then they can re-kindle their relationship. If that doesn't work, she's afraid of what she might do.
Then Rick receives a job offer from a church out of state. Beth speculates that a change of venue will change nothing—just double down on their dysfunction. Plus, now that the prospect of leaving her comfortable (though discontented) life has materialized, she's afraid to leave the familiar.
Rick's reaction to the job offer throws Beth's life into disarray: he retreats like a hermit to the shed in the back yard, fasting and praying, isolating himself from the outside world, waiting for a sign from God.
With her husband holed up in the backyard, Beth escapes to a Florida beach house, where she comes face-to-face with a hurricane. Rick's long-awaited sign comes at last—and its meaning will resonate with readers long after the last page.
Lisa Samson always makes me think. I really loved the workings of this story. I was especially struck by the idea (and I hope this doesn't give too much away) that Rick thought he could find answers by retreating away, when in the end the answers were out in the world and he just hadn't seen them.
Samson's heart for helping people comes through loud and clear, much like her Quaker Summer book. A powerful reminder that God's voice isn't where we always expect it and that He uses unexpected people to speak to us. Another great read from Samson. Expect to have Beth's story stay with you for a long time.
100+ to Watch: New from Lisa Samson, "The Sky Beneath my Feet"
