The BBC is a British taonga - as emblematic of Britain as David Beckham, Big Ben and the royal family.
OPINION: Internationally, no news organisation is held in higher regard. If the BBC reports it, it must be true. The broadcaster's reputation for accuracy is as famous as the clipped vowels of its presenters once were. Which makes the blunders which led to the resignation on Sunday of BBC director-general George Entwistle all the more baffling.
First, shortly before airing a tribute to the late Top of the Pops presenter Jimmy Savile, the corporation, for reasons that have yet to be adequately explained, pulled a programme exploring allegations that he sexually abused youngsters.
Then, even more bafflingly, it aired allegations that a former Tory politician had abused children at a North Wales children's home in the 1970s without bothering to put the charges to the politician or to cross-check its facts. Forget about gold-standard journalism. That is a baser metal.
Newsnight, the Beeb's nightly current affairs show, did not identify the politician, but it did not take the blogosphere long to put two and two together and arrive at four. Within hours reporters were staking out the Italian home of former Conservative Party treasurer Lord (Alistair) McAlpine.
The trouble is Lord McAlpine did not sexually abuse children at the home, and his accuser withdrew the allegation once he saw a photograph of him.
Mr Entwhistle who did not know of the Newsnight investigation before the show went to air, has done the only thing possible. He has resigned.
He might not have been told of the programme's intent, but he should have been. The corporation's failure to do the basic checks every cadet reporter is taught to carry out has exposed it to potential damages of millions of dollars. Worse, it has damaged the reputation of an elderly man and an institution whose name is, or once was, a watchword for impartiality and probity.
As the head of an organisation that employs 23,000 people, Mr Entwhistle could not be expected to review every decision or vet every programme before it went to air, but all news operations have processes by which important decisions are referred upwards.
In this case the referrals should not have stopped till they reached the very top. Instead, not only was Mr Entwhistle not told of the show, he did not watch it and did not learn that the allegation might be incorrect till long after hundreds of thousands of Guardian readers had read it in their morning newspaper. He did not read the paper that morning.
However, the fault is not his alone. The allegation was discussed internally and vetted by the BBC's lawyers before being aired. Clearly, the corporation needs legal advisers acquainted with Twitter and the internet.
The BBC will recover from the financial loss. Rebuilding its reputation will take longer.
The affair is a reminder to all those in positions of authority that trust is hard won and easily lost. There are some responsibilities that should never be delegated.

Anyways, I know of a place where there's a Home Depot across the road from a Lowes. I live in that place, actually.
Whether it's a good thing to have those two mega-stores so close together is a good thing, I couldn't say, but there they are.

As the software delivery industry continues to evolve and mature, the challenge of managing the growing list of the tools and processes becomes more daunting every day. Today, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) platforms are proving most valuable by providing the governance, management and coordination for every stage of development, deployment and release. Recently, I spoke with Madison Moore at SD Times about the changing market and where ALM is headed.

From the conception of Docker containers to the unfolding microservices revolution we see today, here is a brief history of what I like to call 'containerology'. In 2013, we were solidly in the monolithic application era. I had noticed that a growing amount of effort was going into deploying and configuring applications. As applications had grown in complexity and interdependency over the years, the effort to install and configure them was becoming significant. But the road did not end with a ...

The goal of any tech business worth its salt is to provide the best product or service to its clients in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible. This is just as true in the development of software products as it is in other product design services. Microservices, an app architecture style that leans mostly on independent, self-contained programs, are quickly becoming the new norm, so to speak. With this change comes a declining reliance on older SOAs like COBRA, a push toward more s...

Small teams are more effective. The general agreement is that anything from 5 to 12 is the 'right' small. But of course small teams will also have 'small' throughput - relatively speaking. So if your demand is X and the throughput of a small team is X/10, you probably need 10 teams to meet that demand. But more teams also mean more effort to coordinate and align their efforts in the same direction. So, the challenge is how to harness the power of small teams and yet orchestrate multiples of them...

Much of the discussion around cloud DevOps focuses on the speed with which companies need to get new code into production. This focus is important – because in an increasingly digital marketplace, new code enables new value propositions.

I love it. Back then, building and releasing software was a real pain. Integration was something you did at the end, after code complete, and we didn't know how long it would take.

It is impossible to accurately assess how much damage the latest episodes of racism caused Labour, but at least in two constituencies which include Jewish communities, the party suffered losses.15:39 06.05.16 | 0 comments
All wishfull thinking aside, any israeli govt acting in accordance with its responsibilities to its citizens can only accept a palestinian self-governing state if that state is going to cooperate in lowering the security risk to israeli citizens. That is the simple and plain fact as of this decade. Maybe in 20 years, things will be different, if the palestinians want to wait that long for their own independent state. But if they want self-governing status now, their palestinian leaders had better be willing to do exactly as Amira Hess says that they are being pressured to do. If they are not willing to do so, the current status will remain indefinitly and there will be no peace in our time.

A wise man once told me, Trust No one.
Wise words indeed. Especially man.
Trust, but ALWAYS verify. Especially non-dragons. Without trust, man will never evolve into a new age.
You are right.
Trust Hope Virtue Temperance Fortitude. Patience. Discipline
I'm learning AW, I Am.
I was forgiven, so in return i must forgive, otherwise what is the point?
God indeed loves all of his children.
Forgot Faith, big importance here. Peace to the Earth she has suffered too much.
I praise in good news that we BOTH are on the path of the light which is learning, knowledge and a culmination of the 2 words, wisdom. Every day I learn something new or uncover a stone my ancestors have not. It is a beautiful journey to learn daily, love and be part of the ancient plan our ancestors had started for "us."
Yes, we are forgiven and MUST always forgive for our world to move forward all MUST be forgiven, but no forgotten. I say AMEN to forgetting faith and religion for a new age based on love and the respect of our earth, father sun and mother venus. Without them, life for us humans would be an impossibility and let us give honor where properly due.
To our creators and our ancestors may this new age be dedicated.
We are already there my brother, I have shed many tears of compassion for mankind and our Earth. I cried out to God and he now has answered and I am in a state of eternal bliss. I only wanted you guys to see what I see, for it is not meant to be a secret, God holds nothing from his little ones, he shall wipe every tear from our eyes, and at last we know the mystery of God.

It is indeed a complete deal when you purchase at SBuckinghams. And it is mainly due to the fact that they are not like those sub standard stores which keep 50 designs of men's wear on display and in actually have less than ten of those in stock. They literally have a broad range to offer their customers and can deliver any product very much in time. I have dealt thrice with them and have found everything pen perfect each time. Recently, I have purchased a couple of Formal Black Shirts and I'm pretty much satisfied with the product quality. In my books, they are very dependable sellers

I avoid the theme series (star wars, toy story, etc.). As cool as these look, they seem to have lost the lego spirit, and are generally less for the money and less adaptable to your own designs. The few we get as gifts seem to end up the least fun in the long run. I recommend starting young ones with the basic "big old bucket of bricks", moving to the Creator series and ending up with Technics and NXT. Avoid Duplo and any "theme" sets.
Overall, the color scheme is very good for the theme the robot has. Feels like something the body of Firefighters would have if they had enough funds to have a mech research project.
Some problems I have found with this set are focused mainly on structure and durability, and are as follow:
- The main 4 joints from the body to the four limbs feel like they should had been backward. Due to how the leg joints are placed in the waist, the piece only allows the robot to do splits, not to move the legs forward and backward. The arms feel also very limited in mobility due to this, but it's nothing a switching around of the joints can't fix, which adds a lot of mobility in both legs and arms in the forward and backward direction.
- The joint in the ankle is too strong to move, if you try to move the ankles, the feet comes off often.
- The Legs tend to break if the feet do not come off when trying to move the ankles. It's either them or the feet falling off whenever you use the ankle joint
Other than that, it's a pretty good designer set. 3 in 1, so a little kid can play with it for a greater length than what a normal 1 design set would otherwise keep them occupied.
It has potential also to be made into more stuff than just the 3 instructions included. I personally am going to combine it soon enough with pieces of the Crocodile designer set.
Like our other products that can be built into several models we have not build the other models besides the robot as my son does not want to take his robot apart to build something else. His sense of accomplishment is enough. I am happy with that. If he feels good about what he has created, then it is worth it.
Another good product worth the price.
We've discovered that a great way to keep the Creator sets organized is to store the instruction booklet with any unused pieces in a ziplock bag. When our son is ready to try one of the other forms, he doesn't have to hunt for the other pieces. Eventually with this set, the pieces ended up in the general Lego bin which is used regularly for original designs.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim separatists in southern Thailand launched a wave of more than 30 attacks on Monday including shootings, bombings and arson, police said, killing one person and injuring more than 10.
Thailand is predominantly Buddhist but parts of the south, in particular the three southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat, are majority Muslim and decades-old resistance to central government rule resurfaced violently in 2004.
Paradorn Pattanathabutr, a security adviser to the prime minister, said the targets included a shopping mall, which was set on fire, and electricity pylons.
"One woman has died and more than ten others were injured. We believe the perpetrators are rebel Muslim groups trying to recruit more people for their cause," Paradorn told Reuters.
Police in Narathiwat province, close to Thailand's border with Malaysia, said bomb attacks were carried out at more than 10 locations and a Muslim woman was killed in one blast.
More than 5,700 people have been killed in the south since January 2004 and more than 40 have been killed this year. There are various shadowy rebel factions and their main demand is for greater autonomy for their long-neglected region.
The opening of peace talks with some of the rebels last year has done nothing to end the violence.
Meetings have been postponed and the talks appear to have stalled, with Thailand's caretaker government preoccupied with surviving protests against it in Bangkok. [ID:nL3N0NX07K]

Microsoft looks to the cloud with Live Mesh
Microsoft has outlined its vision for sharing files and documents in "The cloud" this week at a showcase in London.
The new technology officially announced on Tuesday at the company's PDC event in the US and then shown in the UK on Thursday will allow you to share information with multiple computers and Windows Mobile devices as if you are accessing a single drive on your computer.
Live Mesh, as the technology will be known, will let you synchronise files with all of your devices, so you always have the latest versions handy.
Users will be given 5GB of free storage and be able to access files from any device or from the web, set permission status' and share them with others. Users will get notified whenever someone changes a file as well as seeing the folder and files history via a sidebar in Windows Vista.
Users will also be able to use the service to connect to another computer (as long as it is on) and access its desktop as if you were sitting right in front of it.
The Mesh Live service, which is free, is available for download from Microsoft. Still in Beta although planned, it doesn't currently offer Mac or Windows Mobile support although these are coming Pocket-lint has been told.
"If you look on the internet you can find Mac and phone support as we've seeded it to developers, however we aren't officially releasing these features to the public until next year", a spokesperson told Pocket-lint as he demoed the product.

In Stride With Women Runners: Amby Burfoot Celebrates Their History In A New Book
Back in the Dark Ages when I was growing up, one of the worst insults an adolescent male could hurl at one of his buddies was, "You run like a girl!"
Over the years I've heard many sounds while kayaking – roaring rapids, crashing waves, rumbling thunder, whistling wind, pelting rain, quacking ducks, barking seals, crying loons, splashing whales, screeching eagles – but last week was a first: calling human voices, from high overhead.
"Climbing! … Climb on! … On belay! …"
Dangling about 100 feet from ropes anchored atop Shovel Point on Minnesota's Lake Superior, a group of rock climbers slowly lowered to the water directly in front of my wife, Lisa, our son, Tom and me. Not far away at Palisade Head more climbers belayed down sheer cliffs and scrambled back up.
Welcome to Tettegouche State Park on Lake Superior's North Shore, about midway between Duluth and the Canadian border – a 9,346-acre outdoor-lover's paradise with 22 miles of hiking trails, 12 miles of cross-country ski trails, with access to pristine wilderness, tumbling waterfalls, the Sawtooth Mountains, and some of the best freshwater paddling on the planet. In addition, a section of the non-motorized recreational Gitchi-Gami State Trail leads to and from the park, which, when completed will link Two Harbors and Grand Marais.
Tettegouche is only one segment of a vast stretch of undeveloped public land along the North Shore, including the 3.9-million-acre Superior National Forest in the Arrowhead Region between Minnesota and Ontario. More than a quarter of the forest is designated as a wilderness reserve known as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
Then there is the lake itself, which spreads over 31,700 square miles, about the size of South Carolina and 24 times larger than Long Island Sound.
Lisa and I spent the better part of a week in the tiny North Shore township of Tofte, where Tom has been a kayak guide this summer on Lake Superior and on some of the smaller nearby bodies of water where paddlers retreat when conditions get too rough on the world's largest freshwater lake. Indeed, several days of our visit the wind and waves on Superior kicked up into seas that would have generated small-craft warnings on Long Island Sound, but during our afternoon paddling at Tettegouche we enjoyed a gentle breeze, sunny skies, balmy temperatures and smooth water.
The towering rhyolite bluffs at Palisade Head and Shovel Point, formed by light-colored volcanic rock more than a billion years ago, contrast with the blue-green basalt bedrock that lines much of the shoreline. The scouring of glaciers and wave action over the eons also created caves, arches and grottoes that we were able to paddle into and, in some cases, through.
"This is wild!" I exclaimed as we slipped into one cavern and emerged 50 feet later through a tunnel-like opening.
"Good thing the waves are down today," Tom said, noting that Superior's characteristic chop often make such maneuvers more challenging. He and Lisa paddled a tandem kayak while I went solo.
We also pulled ashore on a nearly deserted pebble beach. During several hours of paddling we saw only one canoe and a couple other kayaks near shore. Best of all, there were virtually no motorboats anywhere and not a single Jet Ski.
Because of its rocky, rugged shoreline there are few good places to launch any kind of vessel, and even at Tettegouche we had to lug our kayaks for several hundred yards up and over steep banks. Needless to say, the effort was worth it.
Tom and I also went out on a somewhat rougher day in Tofte and I began to understand why paddlers often head for smaller lakes.
In addition to refracting waves that bounce off cliffs and create confused seas, waves on Superior have a tendency to ride up tilted rocks along shore and slide back down, creating powerful cross-currents and eddies.
And then there are large rollers that gain considerable fetch over long uninterrupted stretches of open water.
It's no wonder that Superior over the years has been the site of numerous shipwrecks, including the 1975 sinking of the fabled freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald, made famous by the Gordon Lightfoot song. All 29 aboard perished when the vessel, battered by 35-foot waves, sank in 530 feet of water.
Happily we encountered no such conditions during our visit.
We also rode our bikes, hiked and swam – albeit briefly in the 58-degree water. Tom said he found ice in one of the lakeshore caves on July 1.
On the last morning of our stay, Tom and I climbed 1,526-foot Carlton Peak – barely a bump, but prominent enough in relatively flat Minnesota to provide a sweeping view of the forest, with its mix of oak, maple, pine, spruce, birch and aspen, as well as the Temperance River valley, Taconite Harbor and the mist-cloaked lake.
No doubt such an image inspired Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to pen his 1855 epic poem, "The Song of Hiawatha":
By the shores of Gitche Gumee
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

A few years ago, while visiting relatives in Canada, I noticed a giant basket of produce in a corner of the kitchen. "Wow! Where'd you get all that garlic?" I asked.
Well, we've made it through another winter, though for snow and ice fans it was pretty pitiful – but we're not quite out of the woods when it comes to challenging hiking conditions.
OK, I get it. It's mating season, when all the furry, feathered and slimy critters are desperate for a little action, using the only pickup technique they know: make loud noises.

We had a great time there. It is like heaven on earth, what beauty and too good weather. Lovely people and nice food. Must visit once a year. Wish, I had lots of money, I would love to go every time. My kids love the place. And the dal lake is mind blowing. The shikara ride and beautiful flowers and beautiful girls and lovely sight seeing.

Srinagar is a place very nice, in summer also it was cool. People are very nice, cooperative and helping. But problem every where, military and local people seems not happy with military. We are worried on last day as agitations and curfew imposed about ban on beef, Tourist taxis giving high priority by locals as well as military.

"A city of beautiful gardens and natural beauty"
- Posted 1 week ago
I visited Srinagar with my family for few days. After arrival we visited the famous Dal lake in Shikara. Then we went to visit Nishant garden, tulip garden, Shalimar bagh and many more gardens. The views are magnificent and absolutely stunning. People are very friendly and down to earth and very helping in nature. A must visit. Would love to visit again.

I was here last summer with my wife, parents and few family friends. It's an amazing place to be during summer in India. Ideally one of the best escapes. The food here is amazing and the people are friendly too. This place is pretty cold and has some beautiful lakes and gardens.

"Must visit at least once in lifetime"
- Posted 3 weeks ago
Up in Himalayas. Very far away located, dal lake is main attraction of Srinagar of Jammu and Kashmir. Pristine clear? No, this is stagnant water with all sort of weeds and smells. Yet the view is breathtaking. Naturally hearts sing 'taarif karu kya uski'. Nature is precious and that's in abundance at Srinagar.
Chowk or better known as Lal chowk is worth visiting for shop around. Char chinar look so beautiful. Boat-ride is ultimately joyful. At midnight cuppa coffee at hotel across lake is delicious. And reflected image of historical mosque is so picturesque that I was dumbstruck. Yes this is true that if there's heaven on earth, that's here and here only. Must visit at least once in lifetime.

"There's everything for everyone!"
- Posted 3 weeks ago
It was a week long trip, but I along with my family tried to visit every place we can.
Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Pahalgam and so many local tourist attractions. Make sure you make at least 6 to 8 night stay in Srinagar.
There's no specific season for Srinagar, go in any season and I bet you'll fall in love with it.
As per my experience is concerned the people, the food and the places I visited, everything was just awesome.
There's everything for everyone, love adventure? Visit Srinagar, Wanna have some fun with family? Visit Srinagar, want to spend romantic holiday? Visit Srinagar, Photography tour? Go to Srinagar for sure.
Do not worry at all about your security, as my family was little insecure because of the obvious reasons, it's one of the most secured place.
Hope my review boost your confidence, so go on and plan a Tour to Srinagar.
Bon Voyage!

Heaven on earth is just a good title that we can give to Srinagar but it's really amazing place to be visited in life time. The Dal lake, Sankaracharya temple, the Dargah and the gardens. All places are to be seen and I assure all will enjoy the beauty.

50 things you might not know about your favorite Disney films, 1955-1986 edition
Animators used black-outline background overlays to give the film's painted backgrounds the same look and feel as animation. It was a technique last used extensively in "101 Dalmatians," roughly 27 years before.

The "middle years" was the glory time when the vision of Walt Disney came to fruition and inspired children. The modern years are fraught with a "darker vision" with more edgy themes that upset such as Roy Disney who attempted to bring it to a halt but failed. There was even a spin off of a company with a "winged horse" symbol which secretly made "controversial" films under the Disney banner.

Hmm... missing the Black Cauldron that was released in 1985. That move almost bankrupted Disney.

We had a great experience with Garden Grocer! The variety of items available met the wants of everyone in our party and prices were reasonable. We stayed at Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Resort and Garden Grocer delivered our groceries on time and, even though our room wasn't ready, worked with the bell staff to store our groceries with our luggage and refrigerate/freeze the appropriate items. I highly recommend Garden Grocer to anyone traveling to Disney! We will definitely be a repeat customer.
Easy, quick, as advertised, and delivery spot on. Definitely will use again.
Very easy to order. Great to deal with! Followed up to make sure out service was ok and we got everything. Would use again
