The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

Liam Neeson promoting Taken 2 (AP Photo/Lee Jin-man)
Liam Neeson, who turned 60 this year, wants the Hollywood studios to produce more films for older people.
"We're making movies for 15-year-olds up to 25-year-olds – people of my generation, we're not traditionally served by Hollywood," he says.
Neeson, who's currently starring in the action film Taken 2 – out this weekend – cited the recent success of Hope Springs – a midlife romantic comedy with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones – as an example of the type of movie that appeals to older audiences. He says: "It's a terrific film and it's making money and people of that generation want to see these films."
In recent months films with older characters have made an impact, proving to Hollywood that mature audiences want stories they can relate to.
Movieogoers also seem willing to accept older stars in roles which in the past might have gone to younger actors.
Despite his age, Liam Neeson found new life as an action star when the original Taken film came out in 2008.
He enjoys the challenge. "I keep in pretty good shape physically in life. It's like being a kid in a big, big sandbox, big expensive sandbox."
But Neeson doesn't expect to endure in action roles forever – he jokes that when he's in his 80's and 90's he'll be "on the Zimmer frame maybe giving advice to the younger ones."

Doesn't look like 'work' to us! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner enjoy a rare date night as they leave restaurant hand-in-hand
During his Oscars speech last month Ben Affleck took the opportunity to thank wife Jennifer Garner for 'working' on their marriage.
But to onlookers on Thursday night it seemed the pair were far from finding the relationship hard as they enjoyed a rare date night to themselves.
It's unusual they're ever seen without their beloved daughters Seraphina and Violet and young son Samuel.
Date night! Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner enjoy a rare night out minus their three children as they dine in Santa Monica
But Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are ensuring the spark doesn't go out in their relationship by making sure they spend quality time just the two of them.
The couple headed out in Santa Monica on Thursday for a rare date night as they left their children at home with a babysitter.
After a whirlwind awards season for the pair they seemed to be taking some time out to get back to normality.
Child free: They enjoyed a night at Sam's as they left daughters Violet, Seraphina and son Samuel at home
Home time: Affleck tenderly held Jennifer's hand as he escorted her out of the eaterie
They didn't even seem to mind the rainy weather as they emerged after dining at Sam's by Santa Monica beach.
Both dressing smart casual for the outing, they even seemed to co-ordinate together.
Looking barefaced Jennifer wore jeans and smart brown leather brogues with a tailored jacket.
Casually co-ordinating: The pair dressed down in jeans and tailored jackets for the night out on Thursday
Rainy night: During his Oscars speech Ben thanked Jennifer for 'working' on their relationship, but the pair seemed to be enjoying themselves on their evening out
The 40-year-old completed her look with a blue leather handbag and her hair worn loose and wavy.
She was escorted out of the eaterie by Ben, also 40, who tenderly held her hand as they made their way home.
Ben, meanwhile, opted for black jeans and beige suede shoes with a grey tailored jacket over his rain stained shirt.
Romance isn't dead: The pair are usually seen with their brood of children
And he sported a shorter beard than he has recently been seen in after shaving it off at the Oscars after party last month.
It is rare that the couple are seen just on their own as they set about family life with their brood of three children.
And even though it's only March it has already been a hectic 2013 for them.
Don't look Jennifer! A new teaser clip has recently been released of Ben's new movie with Rachel McAdams, To The Wonder
Affleck came out triumphant with the Best Picture Oscar, which he used the opportunity to praise wife Jennifer on stage.
Prior to his clean shave, as he accepted the Oscar for Best Picture Affleck acknowledged the fact that a good marriage takes effort from both sides.
Ben's voice cracked as he thanked his wife, and the mother of his children, Jennifer Garner for 'working' on their marriage.
Ladies' man: Ben also cuddles up to Olga Kurylenko in the movie, which was released last year
His emotion showed as he gushed: 'I want to thank my wife ... for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It is work, but it's the best kind of work. And there's no one I'd rather work with.
'I was here 15 years ago or something, and had no idea what I was doing. I stood out here in front of you all, really just a kid and I went out and I never thought I'd be back here. And I am.
He added: 'Because of so many of you that are here tonight. Because of the Academy. Because of so many wonderful people who extended themselves to me when they had nothing to benefit from it.'
On a role: Ben has had a stellar awards season thanks to his film Argo
Affleck also thanked his children, Violet, Sam and Sera, dedicating his award to them.
'It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you got to get up.
And on a closing note, he said:'Violet, Sera and Sam, I love you. This is for you.'
Meanwhile, a new teaser trailer has been released for his film with Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko, To The Wonder!

As voted by Trekaroo families, here are the Reviews of the Day from back in the day to today.
We came to Catoctin Mountain Park to see the leaves. On October 19th we saw a beautiful display - it had to be near peak color. We visited on a clear, crisp, slightly windy day - and the leaves were some of the most amazing that I had ever seen.
I was hoping to stop by the visitor center to ask where to hike with my mom and 4 year old. But, the parking lot at the visitor center was overflowing. (I would assume that is not typical.) So, we just drove the main road until we found a good parking spot.
We were looking for a short hike and spotted the hike to the Thurmont Vista. The first third of the hike was a bit uphill and the leaves were amazing. The remainder of the half mile hike was uphill and the leaves weren't as spectacular. We all made it to the vista.
I got back home and looked at the park webpage. I think we would have been better off looking for a hike in the Hog Rock area -where the hikes to the vistas are not as long or steep. We just wanted a viewpoint where we could see the colorful trees on the side of the mountains.
The fall foliage in this area is very spectacular. It's five stars in that respect. But, aside from the fall colors - I'm not sure that the park has too much else to offer.
The Frick Art and Historical Center is located in Pittsburgh and is a fine lesson in Pittsburgh history including artifacts from one of Pittsburgh's well-known families- The Fricks. The land was purchased in 1882 and Henry Clay Frick renamed the mansion Clayton. 95 percent of the items in the historical center were personal items of The Fricks including priceless art pieces, furnishings, cars, and clothing.
The Pittsburgh home of Henry Clay Frick, Clayton was purchased in 1882 and was to be the family's home while in town. Lavishly furnished, The Frick Art and Historical Center gives docent-led tours and gears them toward the season and historical significance.
During our visit this November, Clayton was already decorated for the holidays and was filled with poinsettias, Christmas decor, and even a Christmas tree. Our docent was very adamant about leaving larger bags, purses, and cameras in the lockers provided near the admission desk, and encouraged us to hang up our coats once we arrived at the start of the tour at Clayton. We were told about daily life for The Fricks, which my 13 year-old daughter loved hearing about, and were shown several rooms that were occupied by The Frick family including family bedrooms. The mansion is absolutely beautiful and the tales of The Frick Family were interesting.
The Frick Art Museum houses the personal art collection of Helen Clay Frick, daughter of Henry Clay Frick. The Art Museum is quaint and filled with mainly 18th Century paintings. During our visit, we were able to view a traveling exhibit and a docent-led tour was going on while we stopped in. My teen daughter loves art museums so it was fun strolling through it, but younger kids may not have the attention span for an art-only museum.
The cafe at The Frick was a definite highlight of our visit. From soups to sandwiches, the menu is not your usual fare, but kids will still love the choices. My daughter loved the Mushroom Ravioli and devoured the entire plate, my husband's Black Eyed Pea Falafel Sandwich was so tasty ( I sneaked a bite!), and my Chicken Gumbo was perfect. We enjoyed Mocha Creme Brulee for dessert and it was large enough for two adults to share. The Cafe has its very own pastry chef and offers freshly made desserts every day.
And the Verdict is...?
A step back in time filled with Pittsburgh history! My family had a fun time visiting The Frick Art and Historical Center and I would definitely recommend a visit to families in town. FYI: Clayton may not be suitable for younger children due to the delicate museum artifacts laid out all over, but the large grounds, car museum, and Cafe make for a fun day.
Disclosure: I was hosted by Visit Pittsburgh for the purpose of this review. I was not asked to state a particular point of view and, as always, my opinions are my own!
This is a MUST for history lovers. This small, picturesque fort overlooks the Potomac River and offers a grand view of Washington and the Virginia shoreline. For decades Fort WAshingt on was the only defensive fort protecting Washington D.C.
The Fort is now part of an expansive park grounds that offers visitors extensive hiking / bicycle paths. The river view are a scenic place for picnicking, fishing, and outdoor recreation.
My kids really enjoyed spotting the bald eagles circling over head (not an uncommon site we were told) and picnicing by the shore while watching a group of fishermen try their luck on the river bank!
My five year old and I came to skate on a Saturday evening after an early dinner.
The ice felt quite slippery in comparison to other rinks that I've been to. The rental skates are quite old and beat-up, but functional. They do have double bladed skates in the smaller sizes.
I didn't notice any staff out on the ice, and there were some teenagers playing tag. But, no one bumped into my little girl who was skating slowly and carefully around the rink, and I saw few crashes between skaters - so I wouldn't say the situation was dangerous.
There are lights around, but I kind of expected more decorations for the season.
Families in the region who are looking for an exciting new holiday tradition need look no further than Christmas on the Potomac at the Gaylord National Resort.
It is an experience like none other.
We've attended Christmas on the Potomac three years in a row and each time our family has been left practically speechless. I'm a parent of tween/teen boys and trust me when I say that it is getting harder each year to find outings that the whole family can enjoy. That being said, I'm not exaggerating when I say that my kids never want to leave the Gaylord National. (Neither do their parents, truth be told)
I recommend you take your family there for a weekend experience. Yes, it can be pricey but it is a great way to user in the holiday. The hotel is gorgeous and offers many things for families to do together and ICE! is spectacular. (Even the grandparents enjoy it.)

Deseret News/KSL poll: Mia Love has slim edge on Jim Matheson in volatile 4th District
Jeffrey D. Allred, Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
Copyright 2012 Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — After dropping millions of dollars, exchanging testy debate barbs and attacking each other week after week on TV, Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson and Republican Mia Love appear evenly matched in almost every way as they scrap for votes two days before Tuesday's election.
Love slipped a little in the latest Deseret News/KSL poll but maintains a slight edge over Matheson in Utah's volatile 4th Congressional District.
Pollster Dan Jones and Associates found that 42 percent of registered voters in the district say they would definitely vote for Love, while 38 percent say they would definitely vote for Matheson.
When those leaning toward one candidate or the other are factored in, Love leads Matheson 48 percent to 43 percent. Only 6 percent are undecided, leaving few voters to fight over in the waning hours.
In late September, Jones showed Love leading Matheson by six points, which reflected a 21-point swing since she trailed by double digits in June.
Jones expects a long night on Election Day.
"But it seems to me, in the last couple of weeks, Mia Love has had the momentum," he said, attributing that to the "Mitt Romney surge."
The pollster couldn't say whether it would carry through Tuesday.
"In that race, it could switch on a dime," Jones said.
Love found the poll results encouraging.
"Every credible poll has us ahead, which means the truth is resonating," she said. "I've had a lot of things thrown at me. I'm sure that people will continue to try to throw as much as they possibly can at me. Utahns are savvy; they're smart. They know what rings true."
Matheson said there are a lot of polls out there showing different results.
"At the end of the day, I think this is going to be a real close race. I've always said that and always prepared for it. I have a ground game second to none. I have great confidence, that that's what's going to push me over at the end," he said.
Jones surveyed 414 registered voters in the 4th District from Oct. 26 to Nov. 1. The poll has a plus or minus 4.8 percent margin of error. Two-thirds of respondents say they're likely to vote, while a third have already voted.
The six-term congressman hasn't trailed in the polls this late in any of his previous elections, though his 2010 challenger closed the gap and nearly caught him at the end.
But the 52-year-old congressman has proven to be an astute campaigner who appeals to independents and moderate Republicans.
According to the poll, Matheson pulls 59 percent of voters who identify themselves as independent, while Love gets 29 percent.
"But he's got to get it higher than that to offset the tremendous amount of Republicans who are voting," Jones said.
Matheson has fended off five challengers — two of them narrowly — since wresting the 2nd District seat from a Republican 12 years ago. He jumped to the new 4th District this year after the GOP-controlled Utah Legislature carved up his district when it redrew congressional boundaries last fall.
A Love victory would quell Utah's only Democratic voice in Congress, giving the state an all-GOP congressional delegation for the first time since Matheson took office in 2001.
Jones said Salt Lake County, where the poll shows Matheson up 48-44, also will be a determining factor in the outcome.
"He needs at least 55 percent in Salt Lake County," he said.

Estate agents "will survive if they use more technology" 28 Nov 14
The Economist says estate agents will survive in an increasingly-digital landscape because of "local knowledge, their help in arranging everything from viewings to finance, and their ability to drive a hard bargain" - but they must use more technology. An article in today's edition says in some parts of the United States agents are so afraid of technology "it's as if the internet had never been invented". The piece then explains how prospective buyers pop by branch offices in person to pore over printed floor-plans, while fax machines cough up contracts and viewings are set up by telephone. The thrust of the article is that the internet has, in most other businesses, succeeded in cutting out middlemen. "And of all the middlemen it should have wiped out by now, estate agents are among the least popular." It says that this is especially so in America, where realtors charge sellers around six per cent commission - but it notes that even with these relatively high costs, only nine per cent of home sales in America are conducted without an agent. The piece makes a reluctant nod of respect at British estate agents for holding their ground, and for aggregating property portals faster than in the US and other countries. "As in America, there have also been various attempts by online businesses to cut out the agents and link sellers directly to buyers. But, again, the [British] agents - who typically charge less than 2% commission - have held their ground" it notes. However, The Economist says "estate agents' chances of fending off competition will be stronger if they use the internet and information technology to become more responsive, efficient and cheap". It then goes on to say how new US services being launched arrange buyers' viewings instantly and without having to speak with an agent, while online agencies are making inroads in international lettings markets. "The chances are that estate agents will still be around a generation from now" it concludes. "But the agents most likely to survive the threat from cheaper alternatives will be those that make the leap into the internet age." Online AgentsTraditional Estate AgencyThe Economist]]>
Market woe as first time buyer numbers stall 28 Nov 14
The number of first-time buyer house completions stalled in October according to Your Move and Reeds Rains. The agencies' new first time buyer 'barometer' measure shows there were 26,500 first-time buyer completions in October, 0.8 per cent more than a year ago but 1.1 per cent fewer compared to 26,800 in September. First-time buyer transactions have now fallen back 12.3 per cent over the last three months, although the rate of slowdown is beginning to ease. A monthly slowdown of 1.1 per cent between September and October compares to falls of 7.3 per cent between August and September and 4.3 per cent between July and August. The average purchase price for a first-time buyer property rose 4.1 per cent year-on-year to reach £152,684 in October. Over the same period, the average first-time buyer deposit has fallen 6.0 per cent - boosted by a greater variety of options for higher LTV borrowers – and now sits at £26,046, compared to £27,719 a year ago. Meanwhile the latest e.surv mortgage market survey shows a drop off in higher LTV lending in October. Lending to borrowers with a deposit of 15 per cent or less of the total value of their property constituted just 14.9 per cent of all house purchase borrowers in October, the lowest percentage in six months. Their share of the market had been stable from June to September, fluctuating very slightly between 17.4 and 17.8 per cent. Your MoveReeds RainFirst Time Buyers]]>
NAEA reports 'balanced market' but FTBs declining 28 Nov 14
A better balance between the number of homes for sale and the number of registered home buyers is emerging, according to the latest NAEA market report. Its October survey found that member agents reported an average of 53 properties for sale per branch – 15 per cent higher than the monthly average for the rest of 2014 and the highest number recorded on books since October 2013. An average of 51 properties was recorded per branch in September. While supply showed signs of an increase, the number of house hunters registered per NAEA member branch fell, from 406 in September to 380 in October, easing the balance between the number of available homes and demand. The average number of homes sold during the month remained static on September figures, at average of nine sales per NAEA member branch. The number of FTBs recorded fell, decreasing six percentage points in October compared to the previous month's figures, to 24 per cent of total sales from 30 per cent of total sales in September. When asked if the MMR had led to a direct decrease in the overall number of home buyers since it was introduced six months ago, 79 per cent of branches agreed it had affected the current number of buyers. With the exception of September 2014, in which 406 home buyers were recorded on average per branch, the number of house hunters registered per member branch had shown a decrease on figures recorded in April 2014 (392 home buyers) - the month MMR was introduced. NAEA member branches also said they believed the MMR had particularly affected demand among FTBs, with 70 per cent of member branches reporting the implementation of MMR had led to a decrease in the number of FTBs since it came into force.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome! (says estate agent) 28 Nov 14
More than one in eight of the staff working for a major London agency is now fluent in a second language, as the company claims a quarter of its buyers are from outside the UK. Greene & Co says this change in buyer profile has led to a rise in the need for agents to speak a host of different languages. Currently 13 per cent of its staff can speak a language other than English, and in its flagship West Hampstead branch, for example, employees speak Spanish, Polish, Afrikaans, French, Farsi, Italian, Portuguese and Arabic. The demand for languages differs by area. Kentish Town, for example, has seen many French buyers and tenants clustering close to its two sought-after primary and secondary schools the College Francais Bilingue de Londres. The Kentish Town branch is able to respond to their needs as a number of the staff are able to speak fluent French. French buyers and tenants are also increasingly searching for family homes between Wembley Park and Maida Vale along the Bakerloo Line to live within commuting distance of the new Lycee due to open in September 2015 in Wembley. Maida Vale is also seeing an influx of Italian and Greek buyers who had previously chosen to rent in the capital. Greene & Co. negotiator Franco Difato regularly translates for Italian buyers and tenants who need the UK process explained. "Language skills are a huge asset for an estate agent as it's easier for international buyers to understand the intricacies of buying and renting in their own language and it puts them at ease immediately" he says. David Pollock, MD of Greene & Co, says the firm is actively recruiting multi-lingual agents "and this is a trend I see growing." Greene & ColondonInternational Buyers]]>
Agents Do Charity - why not tell us in a video? 28 Nov 14
December around the corner, Christmas in a few months. This is the time of year when charitable activities take centre stage. But many agents do great charity work year-round and as you know, we like to champion those efforts, publicising the side of agency that gets little attention elsewhere. We have had a tremendous response to Agents Do Charity over the past six months but now we'd like to extend the idea by asking you to submit emails outlining what your agency is doing, or by making your own video which we would run here on the Agents Do Charity section on Friday. As ever, if you want to be mentioned, please let us know on email@example.com. In the meantime, here are this week's updates. Scope: Sandfords is this year supporting Marylebone Christmas Lights in aid of Scope, the disability charity. Earlier this month Marylebone Village hosted its annual festive Christmas Lights event to celebrate the switch on, and Sandfords was there to help with staff running the tombola stall outside their office on Paddington Street, which alone raised a fantastic £2,050. Organised by Howard de Walden Estate, this year's event welcomed thousands of guests who joined in with various activities, danced along to music performances, ate mince pies, drank mulled wine, and browsed the many stalls. The lights were switched on by Jessica Hynes, the actress best known for roles in Spaced, Twenty Twelve and Up the Women. Julia Garber, Director at Sandfords in Marylebone, comments: "We were delighted to be asked again to run the tombola stall. It's always so lovely to be involved in what is such a great community event. All staff members enjoyed the festive atmosphere and we definitely got into the spirit of things this year by dressing up as Christmas trees!" --- Your Own Place: We've received this message from Lucy Carne, MD of Reality Estate Agents in Norwich. "After reading your article in this mornings newsletter, as Director of Reality Estate Agents, I feel I have a social responsibility to support several of our local charities all year round and not just at Christmas. "As home owners and Estate Agents we take for granted the roof over our heads and the bricks and mortar we are asked to sell. Sadly so many people don't have that luxury of having their own bed let alone a roof over their head to keep them safe and dry. "That's why I have chosen to support Your Own Place - www.yourownplace.co.uk. They exist to support youth homelessness and help equip 16-25 year olds with the life skills we take for granted. Whilst I appreciate we are coming up to the time of year when our thoughts turn to those less fortunate than ourselves but here at Reality we are constantly campaigning throughout the year to help these young adults build a home of their own. "Back in March, I took part in the YMCA Big Sleep Easy which meant sleeping out in the open with only a plastic sheet and cardboard box to protect me from the elements. With the help of my wonderful clients past and present we raised £1,500. "We are currently campaigning for supermarket vouchers to help these young adults buy the very basis of items such as tea towels, kitchen utensils, bed linen etc. Our office is also a donation point for our local food bank here in our fine City! "I am always overwhelmed at the public's generosity and will continue to support both excellent causes in any way my business can." --- The Great British Property Paddle: Agents Giving wants all agents to muster their paddle power for the charity's wettest event to date – The Great British Property Paddle. Andrew Trantum of Embrace Mortgage Services, part of the LSL group, is set to kayak and canoe his way along all the waterways of Britain – in excess of 300 miles – to raise money for Agents Giving. He's calling on agents, housebuilders and suppliers to the property industry across the UK to pick up a paddle and join him for a stretch of the route - he'll make available equipment to anyone intrepid enough to get out on the water. No experience is necessary; all that is needed is the ability to swim. The idea is that everyone should aim to raise as much money in sponsorship as possible for good causes. Companies across the UK can also sponsor one of nineteen 'legs' of the event or sponsor one of the three main kayaks. Rightmove is also supporting the event through the award of a significant grant to help cover set-up costs and has also branded one of the kayaks. Peter Knight, Chairman at Agents Giving, says this is "exactly the sort of innovative fundraising we want to encourage. Andrew has thought of something a little bit different that others can also contribute to in a variety of ways and to varying degrees of intensity." The aim is to paddle around 20 miles every day along a route which covers as much of the UK's navigable waterways as possible to allow as much agent involvement as possible. You have plenty of time to prepare. Agents Giving is encouraging people to sign up now, with the event planned to take place in June 2015. CharitySandfordsReality Estate Agents]]>
Exclusive: allAgents secures six-figure investment, recruiting 40 staff 27 Nov 14
Estate Agent Today can exclusively reveal that allAgents has secured what is described as a "six figure sum" of new investment, which will involve an expansion of the site including the recruitment of 40 new staff. allAgents describes itself as "an independent directory and review site allowing consumers to search for and write reviews about estate and letting agents in the UK." It carries reviews of agents, operates a performance league table based on those reviews, and gives agents the right of reply online in the event of complaints. Now Vincent Friel, director of Glasgow and Edinburgh letting agency and property management firm 1-2-Let, says he is injecting a six figure sum into allAgents - which already operates from Friel's business centre - and will become one of its directors. "This is an excellent opportunity for me to play an active role in developing the business in order to achieve its objective of becoming the UK's number one provider of vendor & landlord leads" says Friel. allAgents spokesman Martin McKenzie has told EAT that the site is now looking to recruit 40 new staff within the next six months and that it has "embarked initially on a recruitment drive for in-house web developers." allAgents also claims that it has been approached directly by both Rightmove and Zoopla - although it would not reveal what the approaches concerned. allAgents12LetsVincent Friel]]>
High-end estate agency let off the hook by ASA 27 Nov 14
The Advertising Standards Authority has let high-end agency Chestertons off the hook after a complainant suggested an advertisement may have been misleading because it did not state the length of the property's lease. When the ASA investigated, Chestertons' parent company Chesterton Global Ltd claimed it was aware of its obligation to make marketing material "clear and unambiguous." The agency says the duration of the lease on the property concerned is 101 years and 11 months - a fact that would be communicated to any consumer who made contact with the firm. However, the ASA also says Chestertons claims "any member of the public reading their ad would generally know that all flats in England were leasehold rather than freehold, and would then have contacted their sales branch for more information." The ASA's judgement, rejecting the complaint, says that it understands the importance of lease length being made public because of its relevance in securing a mortgage. However the ASA says it "considered that omitting that information from the ad would only be misleading if it was likely to affect a buyer's decision to enquire further about the purchase of the property. We considered that the number of years remaining on the lease in this case was sufficient to ensure that it would not affect a buyer's ability to obtain a mortgage." ChestertonsASALeaseholdlondon]]>
Teenage mother "tried to defraud Winkworth" 27 Nov 14
A teenage mother who attempted to defraud Winkworth of £4,200 must undertake 200 hours of unpaid community work. Alleyah Cottle, 18, of Walthamstow, has pleaded guilty to fraud at Thames Magistrates Court, admitting that between March 12 and March 28 this year she paid company cheques into her personal bank account. This Is Local London reports that Cottle, who was then an administrator for Winkworth's Walthamstow branch, had also used the agency's credit card to pay for McDonalds meals and shopping at Budgens supermarket. There were five cheques which Cottle paid into her account, but only one, for £700, was cleared by the bank. He defence told the court: "She is only 18-years-old and in a difficult position. She has a young child of three months and lives with her mother. It was not a very sophisticated and well-planned offence. Alleyah admits she has done wrong and because of this she is going to struggle to find employment of any kind." Judge Jane McIvor ordered her to complete 200 hours of unpaid community work within 12 months and pay Winkworth £700. WinkworthCrimelondon]]>
Property portal chiefs to meet … on January 26 27 Nov 14
The only international conference for major property portal owners and operators is meeting in New York on January 26 - the day that Agents' Mutual's OnTheMarket portal launches in the UK. The Property Portal Conference says it will meet on January 26 and 27 in the light of what it calls "a momentous 2014 for the property portal industry." It says the highlights were the merger in the US or Trulia and Zillow, the decision by News Corp to buy Move, and the valuations of portals "taking a breather and coming off by up to 40 per cent" as well as the arrival of first or new portals in emerging markets such as India, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates. "There is nothing to say that 2015 will not be even more momentous" says a spokesman for the conference. "There will be more mergers, more capital raising, greater competition on all fronts, agent lead portals, some market leaders being attacked and losing their leadership, and much much more."

We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Jail her abusers, says mother of sex tape teen killed in window fall
Related Articles
Published: 23 January 2013
The mother of a 13-year-old girl who fell to her death from a fourth floor window after begging a teenage boy to delete an explicit video of her today called for her tormentors to be jailed.
Chevonea Kendall-Bryan was allegedly sexually abused by boys in the weeks before she slipped and plunged 60ft from her bedroom window.
Speaking at her home in Battersea, her mother Amanda Kendall said she wants justice for her daughter who had suffered at the hands of bullies for years.
Mrs Kendall echoed warnings about how smartphone technology is being used by classroom bullies to torment their peers.
The nurse fears other schoolchildren are experiencing similar abuse and not being helped.
She said: "I want to see my daughter's tormentors jailed. Obviously I think more should be done. I do, and I want to make that stand."
She added she would be campaigning on the issue but said it was "too soon" to go into detail.
Last week coroner Bernard Richmond QC told Westminster coroner's court that he believed Chevonea was leaning out of the window to convince the boy, known as E6, that she would jump if he did not erase the mobile phone footage but that she never intended to follow the threat through.
Following five days of evidence, Mr Richmond said he believed that she "had no intention to kill herself" and that her death in March 2011, was instead a "ghastly accident".
The pupil had told teachers she had been sexually assaulted twice by different boys a month before her death.
The court was told she claimed one, known as TG, had forced her to perform a sex act on him following a half-term party. She said the second boy – E6 – then threatened to smash Chevonea's windows if she did not repeat the act on him.
Chevonea did not realise that this second episode was being filmed. She discovered a sex tape had been made and was being passed around the school only four hours before her death, the court heard.
Yesterday shadow health minister Diane Abbott raised concerns about the sexualisation of children and easy availability of internet pornography to under-16s.
She said young girls were being put under pressure by boys at school to exchange demeaning and explicit images of themselves by text message, and called for teachers to face up to the problem.
Chevonea was bullied mercilessly by classmates from the age of 11 at St Cecilia's School in Wandsworth, the inquest was told.
She self-harmed, cut herself with scissors in class and on one occasion was said to have swallowed a handful of paracetamol tablets.
The teenager died of multiple injuries and suffered cardiac arrest after the fall following severe injuries to the brain.
