Internet and Web professionals provide advice for their client and show them how to get the best out of their website and present information to effectively attract customers. There are several roles that come under internet/web professional. Some of which include web designer or a website manager who maintains more sophisticated web sites that handle online enquiries, sales and payment, delivery and after-sales service arrangements.
Within this industry sector there is a lot of competition. There are a lot of small companies and self employed web professionals. To get into this career you will normally need a degree or BTEC HND/HNC either multimedia computing/design, art and design, graphic design and computer studies. It is useful to have some strong commercial experience in related sectors as well as a portfolio of work to support your application particularly for design roles.
A Graduate Professional Development Award (GDPA) is available which has been developed by e-skills in conjunction with higher education institutions and employers in the IT sector. It can be studied as part of an undergraduate, postgraduate or work-based training programme. The Award covers key skills required by the industry including, communication and problem solving, team working and technical competencies.
Typically internet and web professionals work within e-commerce, film, TV, publishing, libraries, schools and museums but their service is becoming more and more essential within all industries with the current trend online business.
Opportunities exist with internet service producers, publishers, graphic design companies, broadcasters, the press, film companies, and organisations with in-house web sites.
Many professionals work on a freelance or contract basis where experience and a good reputation are very important.
Starting salaries begin around £16,000 or more. With experience, designers may earn £30,000 or more and senior designers, or those with specialist knowledge, can earn £40,000 or more. Many internet professional are self-employed and may enjoy a higher income.

HomeVisiting UsCathedral PlanDelve Deeper - The Chapel of St George
Delve Deeper - The Chapel of St George
Saint George was born around 280 AD and died on 23 April 303 AD.
He is the patron saint of England and on the panel behind the chapel's altar is depicted as a knight in armour slaying a dragon. This is a myth. George was an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian, who ordered his death for failing to recant his Christian faith. He was executed in Nicomedia, now modern day Turkey, and then venerated as a Christian martyr.
The precise date of the chapel's construction is unknown but is probably around 1225. The outer walls of the Norman building were pierced to add the two chantry chapels of St George and St Clement, in the Early English Gothic architectural style.
In 1368 King Stephen granted a charter to the Chichester City Merchants' Guild of St George, who adopted the chapel and provided for a chantry priest to pray for the souls of the departed. The first mass of the day (The Morrow Mass) was traditionally celebrated here allowing early morning labourers to worship before the working day. All this was suppressed under the Abolition of Chantries Acts, 1545 and 1547.
The Royal Sussex Regiment
The chapel was restored in 1921 as a memorial chapel for the Royal Sussex Regiment.
The names of over 7300 soldiers who fell in World War I are inscribed in the oak panels surrounding the west and south walls, together with those of The Sussex Yeomanry.
Over 1000 names from the Second World War are recorded in the Book of Remembrance by the altar. An official and more detailed record of all who fell in both World Wars is held in the Vergers' Office and at the Regimental Association offices in Eastbourne.
The Maltese Altar Cross was presented by the City in 1951 when the regiment received the honorary freedom of Chichester and the two candlesticks are from the Officers' Mess.
The regiment was disbanded in 1966 and amalgamated into the Queen's with the Royal Kent's and Middlesex Regiments, and later in 1992 with the Royal Hampshire Regiment, to form the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment. After it was disbanded, seven of its colours were laid up to be displayed until they disintegrate.
Art and Furnishings
The restoration in 1921 was extensive with the stone and oak work assembled by Norman and Burt of Burgess Hill.
The altar and splendid reredos of St George slaying the dragon was designed by PG Bentham of Chelsea; the Maltese cross by Laurence Taylor of London.
There are numerous brasses to past colonels and other dignitaries of the regiment.
The wrought iron gates and screen were constructed by G Hobbs and Son of Hampstead and inscribed above are the dates 1914 – 1919 rather than the more usual 1918 because the Treaty of Versailles officially ending the conflict was not actually ratified until June 1919.
The badges of both St George and the regiment are affixed to the gates and also appear on the kneelers.
Relics of the chapel's previous medieval history include a piscina, the shallow basin placed near the altar, and an aumbry, a recessed cabinet in the wall for storing sacred vessels.
The ledge abutting the south wall, continuing round the Nave, goes back to the days when all worship was conducted in the standing position. The ledge was a concession to human frailty where the sick and elderly could sit down, hence the expression "The weakest go to the wall".
Windows of the Chapel
The eastern window shows the Acts of St John.
The western window shows the Acts of St Paul and was installed in 1852 by John Hardman to a design by Augustus Pugin. It was given by Canon Pilkington in memory of his parents.
Augustus Pugin (1812-1852), is arguably the greatest British architect and designer of the nineteenth century. Pugin was responsible for an enormous number of buildings, and also for countless beautiful designs for tiles, metalwork, furniture, wallpaper, stained glass and ceramics. He pioneered the Gothic Revival style and his work culminated in the interior design of the Palace of Westminster.

STPSA 2021 : The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Security, Trust, and Privacy for Software Applications
Link: https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2021/stpsa-security-trust-privacy-for-software-applications/
STPSA 2021: The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Security, Trust, and Privacy for Software Applications
In conjunction with COMPSAC 2021 the 45th IEEE Computer Society International Conference on Computers, Software & Applications
Venue: All-Virtual, July 12-16, 2021
Workshop Website: https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2021/stpsa-security-trust-privacy-for-software-applications/
This workshop will bring researchers from academia and industry to discuss methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy goals of both pervasive and pervasive software applications. This workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned with respect to the state of art for the security, trust, and privacy aspects of both pervasive and non-pervasive software applications along with some open issues.
Information security has become a major concern for both pervasive and non-pervasive software applications. Software systems must be engineered with reliable protection mechanisms with respect to security, privacy, and trust, while still delivering the expected value of the software to their customers. The traditional approaches to secure a system (e.g., IDS, firewalls) are no longer sufficient to address many security, trust, and privacy (STP) issues. These issues should be addressed by building more effective STP-aware software applications. The principal obstacle in developing STP-aware software is that current software specification, design, implementation, and testing practices do not include adequate methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy goals.
As most systems now are Internet-based, the number of attackers is increased dramatically and threat scenarios have changed. Traditional security measures do not fit well for the software of pervasive applications. Since location and contexts are key attributes of pervasive applications, the privacy issues need to be handled in a novel manner than traditional software applications. The devices in pervasive computing leave and join in ad hoc manner in the pervasive network. These create a need for new trust models for pervasive computing applications. In this workshop, we will also welcome papers on the challenges and requirements of security, privacy, and trust for pervasive software applications.
SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Security, trust, and privacy specific software development practices
• Security, trust, and privacy requirements elicitation and specification
• Models and languages for STP-aware software specification and design
• Architecture for STP-aware software development
• STP challenges for pervasive software applications
• Testing security, trust, and privacy properties of both pervasive and non-pervasive software
• STP management and usability issues in software applications
• User interfaces for STP-aware pervasive and non pervasive software
• Software reengineering for security, trust, and privacy for both pervasive and non pervasive applications
• Tradeoffs among security, privacy, trust, and other criteria
• STP challenges in e-services, e.g. e-health, e-government, e-banking, e-commerce, e-marketing and other web-based and pervasive applications
• STP challenges in mobile software applications
• STP issues in sensor based software applications
• User interfaces for secure and privacy-aware pervasive computing applications
• STP-aware service discovery mechanisms for pervasive computing environments
• Models for ensuring security, trust, and privacy in pervasive software applications
• STP issues for handheld device software applications such as healthcare
• Teaching STP-aware software development
• Experience reports on developing STP-aware software
Workshop papers due: 21 April 2021
Workshop paper notifications: 15 May 2021
Camera-ready and registration due: 31 May 2021
Papers must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair. The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE conference proceedings. Workshop papers are limited to 6 pages. Page limits are inclusive of tables, figures, appendices, and references. Workshop papers can add an additional 2 pages with additional page charges ($250USD/page).

Loyamorok means 'a place of stones'. This village is found in Nginyang division of East Pokot, in Baringo County and it is here that a Creators of Peace (CoP) training took place from the 12th to 14th May, 2016 with 20 participants. With great enthusiasm the training started very well. A number of the ladies were a bit reserved because they only understood their local dialect and there had to be some translation.
After the introduction using the thread game, one lady said she learnt that 'one person's action in the family, village, church or market place can affect the rest of the community at large.' This was a lesson well understood and they concluded that whatever one does, it always comes back to them and it is therefore important to do what is right.
Elizabeth had a sad story of her upbringing - not attending school due to the culture of the day, and the miseries that followed her even in her marital life. The forgiveness session gave her an opportunity to reconcile with herself and other close family members. She started a new beginning in her life. She said that she was ready to forgive her husband and she would continue teaching people the meaning of love, peace and harmony. 'I came here a very bitter person, but the training has melted the hate and I therefore have forgiven my husband for abandoning me, and my parents for denying me education that could have changed the course of my life,' she concluded.
The ladies had a chance to examine themselves during a time of quiet.Chepsokesi shared that she was taking home the phrase 'attitude is everything' because she always blamed other people without seeing that she could be in the wrong as well. Chebokaria said she was leaving the training a better person.'I never knew that forgiving heals ones heart. I always thought it was just to avoid chaos,' she added.
The training wrapped up with the women committing to be peace ambassadors in the community at all levels. They committed to be role models by the way they live so that their lives can be 'motivational books' to be read by the public. The graduation was graced by the area Chief Mr. Issack Kasait Lokalya, who thanked the CoP team for their work, commitment and sacrifice to reach such remote areas. He assured the women that he, together with the other leaders in the area, would support the initiatives they will take after the training in order to work towards the improvement of Loyamorok area.

LISTMANIA 2015: ABOUT.COM AND LA WEEKLY
LISTMANIA 2015 Add comments
Since we first began our annual LISTMANIA extravaganza, I've limited the year-end lists we re-post from other web sites to those with cross-genre coverage and very large audiences, mainly to see what people who may only dabble in metal are being told they should listen to. Flagging those year-end lists also provides a place where NCS readers can go if they're interested in recommendations for music outside of extreme metal. I, of course, have no such interest, but I'm trying to be broad-minded at this time of year.
Today I'm re-posting lists that appeared yesterday on About.com and LA Weekly. The first qualifies as a "big platform" site. The second is something of an exception, but honestly, I was getting tired of re-posting lists from big sites that only included one or two metal albums.
About.com is a huge web portal that covers a broad range of subjects, including home care, interior decorating, parenting, travel, money management, health care, food, careers, sports, and technology. They also have an entertainment channel, and if you burrow down into the large array of entertainment coverage you will find About.com Heavy Metal, with a staff of metal writers led by Chad Bowar. Yesterday, they published their list of 2015's "Best Heavy Metal Albums". It's a ranked list of 20, preceded by a list (in alphabetical order) of 20 "Honorable Mentions". And here are those lists:
Arcturus – Arcturian (Prophecy)
Baroness – Purple (Relapse)
Beaten To Death – Unplugged (Mas-Kina)
Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth – Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth (Neurot)
Caina – Settler Of Unseen Shores (Broken Limb)
Cloud Rat – Qliphoth (Halo Of Flies)
Fulgora – Stratagem (Housecore)
Hate Eternal – Infernus (Season Of Mist)
KEN Mode – Success (Season Of Mist)
Kylesa – Exhausting Fire (Season Of Mist)
Lamb Of God – VII: Sturm und Drang (Epic)
Lucifer – Lucifer I (Rise Above)
Marduk – Frontschwein (Century Media)
Melechesh – Enki (Nuclear Blast)
Moonspell – Extinct (Napalm)
Rivers Of Nihil – Monarchy (Metal Blade)
Sigh – Graveward (Candlelight)
Sons Of Huns – While Sleeping Stay Awake (Riding Easy)
Unleashed – Dawn Of The Nine (Nuclear Blast)
VI – De Praestigiis Angelorum (Agonia)
20. Byzantine – To Release Is To Resolve
19. Gruesome – Savage Land
18. Horrendous – Anareta
17. Cruciamentum – Charnal Passages
16. Crypt Sermon – Out of the Garden
15. Sarpanitum – Blessed By My Brothers
14. Amorphis – Under the Red Cloud
13. Myrkur – M
12. Intronaut – The Direction of Last Things
11. Clutch – Psychic Warfare
10. Ghost – Meliora
09. My Dying Bride – Feel the Misery
08. Cattle Decapitation – The Anthropocene Extinction
07. Paradise Lost – the Plague Within
06. Napalm Death – Apex Predator-Easy Meat
05. Deafheaven – New Bermuda
04. Enslaved – In Times
03. Leviathan – Scar Sighted
02. Iron Maiden – Book of Souls
01. High On Fire – Luminiferous
I think both of these are solid lists, and provocative ones, too. The main list has higher placements for Enslaved, Leviathan, Napalm Death, Amorphis, and Cattle Decap than I've seen elsewhere, and that's a nice change. At least for me, the choice of High On Fire as Album of the Year is a surprise, and so is the ranking of Iron Maiden as high as No. 2. The list also further solidifies Deafheaven, Ghost, Paradise Lost, and Horrendous as names we're likely to see everywhere we look. But there's another name I've seen popping up everywhere that's missing from this list — Tribulation.
To read the summary reviews of the albums on the Top 20 list (which are worth reading), go here:
http://heavymetal.about.com/od/toppicks/tp/2015-Best-Heavy-Metal-Albums.01.htm
This next list is something of an outlier, because it comes from a localized alternative weekly. On the other hand, LA Weekly is based in the second biggest city in the U.S. and it has a big readership, both in its print form and in its online presence. It was founded in 1978 and is currently owned by Voice Media Group, the same company that owns New York's Village Voice, Denver Westword, Phoenix New Times, Houston Press, Dallas Observer, Riverfront Times, Miami New Times, Minneapolis City Pages, Broward New Times, and OC Weekly.
Jason Roche is one of the weekly's music writers, and I've featured his stuff before at NCS, because he's a good writer with good taste. Yesterday, LA Weekly posted his list of The 10 Best Heavy Metal Albums of 2015, and I thought it was worth sharing (and thanks to NCS reader DaNasher for alerting me to it). Here's the list:
10. Tribulation – Children of the Night
09. Mutoid Man – Bleeder
08. Visigoth – The Revenant King
07. Ghost – Melidora
06. Bell Witch – Four Phantoms
04. Vattnet Viskar – Settler
03. Baroness – Purple
02. Panopticon – Autumn Eternal
01. Volahn – Aq'Ab'Al
I found this a very interesting list. It includes three of those names mentioned above that are appearing almost everywhere, but it also includes such unusual names as Mutoid Man and Visigoth, in addition to a high ranking for the awesome Bell Witch. And man, to see Panopticon and Volahn in the two highest spots is very cool.
The descriptions accompanying these picks are good reads, and you can dive into them here:

TowardsTheHum says:
Sometimes I feel decently, generally aware of the world of metal, and Then I see a 'best of' list whose #1 is something that I have never heard of…
Islander says:
I'm assuming you're referring to Volahn. It really is a wonderful album. Eduardo Ramirez is the main man behind a group of SoCal bands known as the Black Twilight Circle. Volahn is his main project. I'm pasting Jason Roche's write-up about the album below, and a link to the Bandcamp page:
https://crepusculonegro.bandcamp.com/album/cn-26-aqabal
"We are encouraged by the fact that there are still artists finding ways to push the now decades-old genre of heavy metal in new directions. Taking a cue from the era when Scandinavian black metal acts turned to their ancestry for lyrical and musical inspiration, Volahn mastermind and Los Angeles metal musician Eduardo Ramirez pays tribute to his Mayan ancestry and the rituals and the civilizations of centuries past. Volahn's music is appropriately caustic for the black metal genre, but the moments of colorful atmosphere inspired by Mexican ranchera music, classical Latin guitar, and ancient flute-like instruments are what make this record special and worthy of repeated listens."
JJJ says:
The Black Twilight Circle is worth exploring beyond 2015 as well, most notably Arizmenda's extraordinary 'Within the Vacuum of Infinity…' (the last black metal album I gave 10 / 10), Muknal's exceptional cavernous death metal, Dolorvotre's blackened psychedelia etc.
There was also a spiffing 4 way BTC split this year, entitled 'Desert Dances and Serpent Sermons' which also features a track by Volahn, and one I would say even ousts the full length:
https://crepusculonegro.bandcamp.com/album/cn-30-desert-dances-and-serpent-sermons
The whole movement / scene excels in psychedelic and freeform black metal (and a couple of death metal outfits and a doom one) that harkens back to LLN in a way, but actually sounds almost uniformly good and quite unique. It's current my favourite thing in music.
Gorger says:
Just to balance this equation, I think Aq'Ab'Al deserves to be released on cassette only. It's cult because it's cult. Other than that it's just utter [censored due to anti-troll policy]. And that's my honest opinion.
Sorry, I just had to get that of my chest. Number one? Bah, humbug!
Boooo!
I didn't mean to reply to JJJ, by the way (hey, that rhymes). I was in such a disarray that my hands were shaking :p
But seriously, We all have different taste*, and that's great, but "very best album of the entire year? I don't fucking think so!
Speaking of taste. Considering the diversity among metalheads, perhaps I should rather pick on the fact that some albums finds its way onto "every" list? Like Tribulation. It sounds okay, but best of the year? On that many lists? Really? (I've just heard a few songs now and again, so I'm not gonna protest strictly)
I personally love that Tribulation album, but I think everyone will have a usual-suspect album that makes its way into a large chuck of lists which they don't like. For me it would be Mgla; a band I can't get my head around the reverence for. Obviously Mgla wasn't even mentioned here. I just thought I would avail myself of the opportunity to whine about them for a second.
Coincidentally, Mgla has delivered one of my black metal favorites this year. Just another example of healthy diversity among metal-heads.
That 4-way split is fascinating — something I've been meaning to write about for months, but have fucked up for months. I need to hear "Within the Vacuum of Infinity…" for sure.
The split is like a soundtrack to some weird, trippy space-western, or something.
I won't bleat on about that Arizmenda record too much, but it is rather good. I find it almost analogous to Aluk Todolo's 'Occult Rock' record (another thing I slapped a 10 on), only a bit more black metal and shall we say "under" produced. Just the way the tightly-packed layers slide all over each other like… slidey things… really gets to me.
Booo-urns!
I think I just "Booo-urnsed" myself accidentally. Oh well.
Shit happens. I wasn't planing on attacking you specifically either. I'm so old I can't even press the correct button. Besides, it's so dark in here. Can someone turn on the lights? And turn up the radiators too. And bring me my slippers!
I wouldn't worry, I probably know as many people that didn't like that Volahn record as I do that did like it. I can totally get my head around why people don't like it as well. So no harm, no foul. It's definitely not my number 1 album either, but in my top 25 at least.
Dgr says:
Comment box strikes again! Making us all look like fantastic idiots and taking the bite out of all our vitriol since 2009!
When you get deep into the nest, it's like a trip down the rabbit hole with Alice.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Andy Synn says:
That About.com list contains one album in particular which I honestly consider amongst the most Disappointing albums of the year…
While the LA Weekly list contains one album in particular which I honestly consider amongst the very BEST of the year…
You're such a tease!
ZackCrownInitiate says:
I myself can't understand why so many people are foaming at the mouth over Horrendous.
That Mutoid Man record is obscene amounts of fun, so thanks for heads up on that. I was always a big fan of Cave In's vocals so that definitely helps.
Leperkahn says:
Same. Absolutely love Bleeder. Always meant to review it here but never got around to it. Also meant to do one of those rearview mirror things on Perfect Pitch Black – found that album this summer, and couldn't stop listening to it for weeks.
aaaaand I just listened to Volahn for the first time.
Not my cup of tea.
Well, thanks anyway for giving it a try. I will agree it's not for everyone.
blend77 says:
Ahhh finally some decency arrives. The LA list especially is a tasty one.
Though I couldn't get too into Bell Witch or Tribulation so much. 🙁

Visigoth…great album, but it has absolutely no place on a site called "No Clean Singing."Angry Metal Guy and his crew, however, loved it – big riffs, big vocals and big, dumb lyrics that would make Manowar proud.
This may explain why I haven't listened to this album. 🙂
SurgicalBrute says:
Its not quite that cheesy, but yeah..they blur the lines between heavy and power metal. The guy who heads them up is a bit of a tool as well
I've heard enough. A blurry line between heavy and power metal is a line I don't want to get near.
One day you will come around to the cheesy joy of clean vocals…and then you'll have to change the name of the site
Don't hold your breath. No Spring Cleaning doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
About.com's list is about as generic as you could get for metal releases in 2015…throw Tribulation on there somewhere, hit shuffle and you'll create 95% of the lists that will come out this year.
At least LA Weekly went outside the box with Volahn, so I'll give them credit for that
I'm surprised to see Byzantine on there to be honest, as it's a solid record, but not one of their best (and certainly not one of the best of the entire year).
You might have given away your hint from above…

I feel the same way with the About.com list. In my opinion they are missing some absolutely crucial albums. The majority of their list is simply filler. I also am shocked at how many lists are neglecting two of my favorite albums of the year. The Malkuth Grimoire by Akaloid and Antikatastaseis by Abyssal. I love both of these albums, but it seems as if many sites are overlooking their greatness.
They will not be overlooked when we start rolling out our own lists. 🙂
Abyssal is too underground for poser-sites, and they probably never heard of Alkaloid. Two crucial albums, indeed!
If you had asked me last year, I would have agreed about Abyssal, but they seem to have broken through with Antikatastaseis
(Seriously, anytime Metalsucks becomes aware of something you know its not underground anymore)
Ah, and you were doing so well until you used the "p" word.
What? I didn't say penis.
Oh, you mean poser. Well, I probably went more than just a little over board there.
About.com has delivered the best major list thus far. Some of the others should conciser hiring someone with a clue, or simply stop pretending, though.
This are both fantastic albums! Abyssal was definitely one of my top favourites
Jason Roche says:
Thanks a bunch for the shoutout Islander. Glad to hear people are digging the Volahn once they check it out. The whole Black Twilight Circle scene out here is one that I think is doing some very unique and special things in the metal world right now, and definitely deserves a larger audience, or at least as big as some of the things that are getting universal love elsewhere. I am thankful to have an outlet like LA Weekly to expose bands like that to a potentially larger audience out here.
And yeah, the new 4-way split does indeed have a Volahn track that may be better than anything on the album proper.
Thanks for all you do for LA Weekly to help support metal. I know you will probably take some hits for the Volahn pick at No. 1 (as you have here), but that's the kind of action that really will help expose some very creative musicians to a wider audience. You know going in that it's going to be a love-it-or-hate-it reaction.
Oh yeah, I agree that the Volahn track on that split may be better than anything on the album. So completely out o fleet field, but it works so well.
DaNasher says:
I appreciate the blurb my friend! I love this site so much but rarely made comments in the past. Chalk it up to laziness I suppose. Volahn is definitely in my top 5 this year. I'm still having a hard time finishing my list.We had another awesome year of Metal to rejoice about and a killer bunch of people to discuss it with!
Thanks again for letting me know about the LA Weekly list and for being a patron of our putrid site.

the selections i agree with are:
Die Nasty says:
I'm a little surprised no one liked Abhorrent Decimation's release as much as me.
Not sure why you'd be surprised. They're not exactly a huge band, so they're unlikely to get the exposure which would lead them to be on a lot of lists.
They ARE getting a mention on one of my lists next week though, if that's any consolation (and we're hopefully doing some dates with them next year too!).
