A summary of our press releases throughout the last few years are shown below. Have a look at all the fabulous events, projects and schemes we have been a part of - you can't deny the quality and diversity of what HMS brings to the young people of Hampshire!
On Tuesday 8 March more than 170 children from 10 special schools and schools with special needs provision, across Hampshire, joined together recently for an outer space themed sing along performance.
The event, organised by Hampshire County Council's Music Service, told the story of a fallen star and the adventures it has getting back to its place in the sky before it lost its shine. Between each song, schools performed their own dance and musical performances, culminating in the finale built around a song that had the message 'everybody has a place to shine' at its centre.
Choirs of children from special schools in Basingstoke, Fareham, Havant, Test Valley and Winchester - sang songs they had been rehearsing since the beginning of the year. They were supported by the Baycroft School Brass Band. The space-themed story was inspired by Tim Peake's own space adventure to the International Space Station that many schools are following, and was linked to key areas of learning about space from the science national curriculum.
We will be asking current and ex members to share their experiences using #HMSensembles over the coming months to prove why it's a no-brainer...

A special concert celebrating peace and commemorating the 100th anniversary of World War I will bring together young musicians from Hampshire and Giessen in Germany.
Organised by Hampshire County Council's Music Service, and to be hosted by the County Council's Chairman, Councillor Jonathan Glen, the performance will take place on Saturday 30 January, 7.30pm, in Winchester Cathedral.
Featuring talented musicians from the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra and school choirs, together with the Giessen Liebigschule Choir from Germany, the highlight of the evening will be the world premiere performance of 'The Lost Wand', by Francis Pott.
Commenting on the forthcoming concert, Councillor Glen, said: "This concert is a wonderful way to commemorate the centenary of World War I. The participation of young people from Germany, joining those from Hampshire is particularly poignant. In addition to an evening of first class musical entertainment, I am particularly looking forward to the opportunity for people to come together in this celebration of peace, to reflect and remember. I urge people to get their tickets, for what promises to be a very moving performance."
'The Lost Wand' has been composed especially for the Chairman's Concert and has been commissioned by the County Council, Arts Council England and The Friends of the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra.
Comprising songs to be sung in both English and German, the performance aims to portray, through music, issues of war, peace and humanity – issues that are so relevant today. Also on the programme will be music by Britten, Brahms, Mauersberger, Shostakovich, Mozart and Beethoven.
Performing the challenging and wide-ranging musical score will be around 300 young musicians and singers from the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra, and a massed choir formed with young people from Henry Beaufort School, King's School, Perins School, Wyvern School and Barton Peveril College.
Over 230 children from 18 special schools and schools with special units across Hampshire were joined together for a festive musical celebration at Winchester Cathedral on Friday 3 December 2015.
This annual event, organised by Hampshire County Council's Music Service, re-tells the nativity story with a modern twist, combining traditional Christmas carols with modern songs as well as readings by the schoolchildren.
The service will begin with a procession of banners representing all the schools taking part. Children and helpers dressed as angels will carry candles to the altar. The service will then continue in themed sections with the children in costumes processing as innkeepers, shepherds and kings with other Christmas symbols.
Music will be provided by the Baycroft School Brass Band, the Hampshire County Youth Choirs and Hampshire Music Service award holder soloist Connor Bates on Cello.
Longdown Activity Farm supported the event by bringing Max the donkey to the event and then a young goat to support the Christmas storytelling.
For the second year in a row Southampton Music Hub and Hampshire Music Hub are celebrating winning a prestigious national award at the 2015 Music Educations Awards: the Will Michael Award for Jazz Education, held at the Royal College of Music on 1 December..
Presented by UK Jazz Services , the Will Michael Award for Jazz Education recognises the contributions of both music hubs to introducing jazz into musiceducation, and the outstanding commitment to young jazz musicians. The joint Southampton and Hampshire bid fought off many other regional authorities to be named the best in the UK.
The Music Education Awards celebrate the work of hubs across the UK that demonstrates imaginative, inclusive and all round high-quality music provision.
Councillor Peter Edgar, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Education, said: "What a triumph for both Hubs that I know are incredibly committed and work very hard - a very well deserved award. It is encouraging to see Hubs working together to widen the opportunities for young people to learn to broaden their experiences in music. This is a fantastic achievement and both Southampton and Hampshire Music Hubs and members of the youth jazz groups should be very proud in achieving national recognition."
Provision for young jazz musicians in the region has reached an all-time high due to significant investment and a string of exciting initiatives. Alongside several outstanding youth jazz groups, including the nationally renowned Southampton Youth Jazz Orchestra (SYJO), young musicians have enjoyed participating in free jazz improvisation workshops, composition masterclasses and working alongside leading professionals.
There has also been a drive to help teach jazz more effectively with support for teachers and better links with experts from the University of Southampton and the Turner Sims Concert Hall. All this has helped contribute to young musicians from the region achieving success on the national stage with ex-alumni now playing with prestigious acts such as Jamie Cullum, Portico Quartet and the BBC Big Band.
Hampshire County Council's Music Service is bringing together more than 800 children to perform at the Music for Youth Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in November.
Councillor Peter Edgar, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Education, said he was proud that the county will be so well represented.
He said: "I am immensely proud that the county will be represented so magnificently at such an auspicious event and in such a prestigious and iconic venue.
"The contribution the Music Service makes to young people's all round education is significant and important, both to driving up
standards in our schools and for encouraging social interaction and integration among our young students."
The prestigious event will take place at the famous London venue from 23-25 November and performers will come together for the opening night from a number of groups, including an over 500 strong choir made up of Hampshire school children and members of the Hampshire County Youth Choirs.
Music will be supplied by members of the Hampshire County Youth Orchestras and Hampshire County Youth Bands. A visual dance performance has been especially choreographed by Wessex Dance Academy.
The composition, The Mary Rose, is by the local late composer, Martin Read; from Winchester, originally commissioned by Hampshire Music Service for their millennium celebrations. Two other instrumental compositions will accompany The Mary Rose
by ex Hampshire Music Hub Scholars Catherine Upfold, from Andover, and Laura Jurd, from Medstead , now operating out of London, respectively. Both were supported by Martin Read. Laura Jurd was one of just seven international young artists selected for BBC Radio 3's enormously prestigious New Generation Artists scheme 2015-17.
Young singers, from the age of five upwards, are invited to join one of Hampshire County Council's Music Service vocal ensembles.
The county is adding a fourth choir to its already very successful trio of existing choirs in response to increasing demand, from both children and young people.
Membership is open to all pupils, up to the age of 19 years, who are in full-time school or college education. Potential members, for any of the choirs, are asked to register their interest as soon as possible in order for music service staff to hear them sing. Priority will be given first to Hampshire residents and then to non-Hampshire pupils who attend Hampshire schools and colleges.
The choirs sing regularly at events in venues such as Winchester Cathedral and The Anvil, Basingstoke. In recent years, performances have included collaborations with the BBC Singers and tours to Italy and Canada. Rehearsals take place during term time on Friday evenings at The United Church, Winchester.
The four choirs are:
Hampshire County Youth Choir (HCYC)
- main choir, focusing on singers in year 10 (from age 14 years) and above who are exceptional younger singers
Hampshire County Youth Training Choir (HCYTC)
- the new addition - will be run in parallel with the main choir, focusing on singers in year 7 (from age 11 years) and above who are exceptional younger singers
Hampshire County Youth Junior Choir (HCYJC)
- focused on singers in year 4 and above (from age 8 years)
Hampshire County Foundation Choir (HCFC) - focused on singers in year1 (from age 5 years) and above

··Hampshire County Youth Choirs
Over 400 Hampshire school children enjoyed a once in a lifetime opportunity to sing on the national stage at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday (18 July).
Singing a specially arranged version of Handel's 'Zadok the Priest', 400 Hampshire primary school pupils schools joined hundreds of other children from all over the UK to perform in BBC Music's 'Ten Pieces' concert
As one of the BBC's 240 Ten Pieces Champions, Hampshire County Council's Music Service has been working with 13 junior and primary schools on this piece of work since the autumn, culminating in Saturday's performance on the national stage.
BBC Ten Pieces is a new, national initiative involving 21,000 schools, led by BBC Learning and BBC performing groups. The aim is to introduce a generation of children to a range of classical music, inspiring them to use the music as a stimulus for their own creativity.
Children were able to respond to a choice of one of ten pieces of classical music and develop their own interpretation of the selected piece through music composition, dance, digital art and other art forms, as well as taking part in performances of the pieces.
The piece that the BBC Singers chose and invited specially selected champions, such as Hampshire Music Service, to participate in was written by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of George II in 1727, and is performed at every coronation since then.
BBC Ten Pieces has also had the involvement of the five BBC Orchestras and the BBC Singers as well as celebrities such as Barney Harwood from Blue Peter and childrens' presenters Dick and Dom.

The Gosport and Fareham Youth Orchestra, one of Hampshire Music Service's many successful music groups for young people, has celebrated its 60th anniversary with a concert of ensemble favourites.
Councillor Peter Edgar, Executive Member for Education at Hampshire County Council, said: "It was one of the most spectacular concerts I have ever attended –absolutely marvellous to see present and past members of the orchestra, some 250 of them, playing together and recalling the past 60 years.
"Hampshire Music Service is an excellent example of the quality services provided by the County Council. The contribution the service makes to young people's all round education is significant and is key both to driving up standards in our schools and to encouraging social interaction and integration among our young students."
Among the highlights of the concert, that took place in Fareham's Ferneham Hall, was the premiere performance of 'Diamond Celebration'. The orchestral score was composed specially for the event by Tom Guyer, a former percussion member of the orchestra and past winner of the Hampshire Music Service's Composition Award.
Now rehearsing at Henry Cort, Fareham and with more than 150 members, the orchestra continues to go from strength to strength and will be touring Belgium this summer.
A short history of the Gosport and Fareham Youth Orchestras:
Founded in 1955 as a string orchestra, the Fareham Junior Orchestra, by Louis Fussell, a stringteacheremployed by Hampshire County Council, the orchestra evolved over the years with the support and guidance of parents and teachers.
Soon there were regular concerts in aid of charity and, in 1958, parent Ben Barnard began a 32 year relationship with the orchestra providing outstanding administrative support, and his contribution is still remembered through the annual Ben Barnard concert.
During the 1960s, under the leadership of Mavis Masters, a music teacher at Gosport Grammar School, and then of John Witham, who became conductor in 1968 the orchestra evolved from a string to a full symphony orchestra.
During the mid-1970s the orchestra had grown to around 80 young musicians and in 1977 became part of Hampshire County Council's Music Service, taking on the new title of Gosport and Fareham Area Youth Orchestra.
In 1977, the orchestra became part of the Hampshire Music Service and today consists of a symphony orchestra, concert band, plus training groups for strings and wind instruments.
Around 1600 Hampshire school children were treated to a free musical performance at the Anvil, Basingstoke, for the annual Hampshire Music Service's Primary Proms 30 June 2015.
Aimed to musically entertain and inspire primary school children, this event is regularly oversubscribed. The concert (10.30am), repeated in the afternoon (1.15pm), was an hour long and compered by Hampshire Music Service Primary Music Consultants Liz Davies and Nicky Watling.
The programme included performances from Hampshire Music Service's own Youth String Quartet, Youth Percussion ensemble and Gosport and Fareham Youth Concert Band (who are celebrating their 60 year anniversary in July). These were supported by the Hounsdown Vocal Group and All Saints Church of England (Aided) Junior School Orchestra and Choir. Two mass sing-alongs were led by the Primary Music Consultants and the final items included pieces related to the national BBC Ten Pieces project for which the Hampshire Music is a registered champion. Content highlights also included a composition by an All Saints young pianist Bolun Tan called Down the Rabbit Hole and a percussion piece, Rebound, using basketballs (!).
The Eastleigh Area Schools Orchestra (EASO) invited ex members to join in celebrations Monday 29 June 2015 at Thornden Hall, Chandlers Ford, their usual rehearsal venue. The Deputy Mayor and Mayoress of Eastleigh Des and Veronica Scott were in attendance and also joined ex members in a reception before the concert.
The first half of the concert showcased the talent throughout the ensembles, from the Trainers Group through to the String Quartet, with members' favourites across the programme. The second half welcomed 20 or so ex members and staff to build a larger whole orchestra with pieces played that appeared on the first ever EASO programme – La Rejouissaance from Music for the Royal Fireworks, by George Frederich Handel.
EASO was founded by Pearl Mace and David Leverton, who were in attendance on the night, as a full orchestra in 1975. There have been many changes of staff and instrument groups over the years. Currently there is a wind orchestra (EAWO) of over 50 led by Gabrielle Horne and a string orchestra (EASTO) of 25 led by Sue Leonard. EASO has achieved much in their 40 years, but more recently at the Southampton Music Festival in the first weekend of March 2015, EASTO took part in the secondary string orchestra class on the Saturday and received a commendation mark of 86. They also received the Assumpta Brady cup for most promising group ahead of 3 other string orchestras. EAWO took part in the youth ensemble class on the Sunday and received a commendation mark of 86 and were invited to perform at the Festival Concert on Saturday 21 March. Unfortunately that is during their annual residential weekend at Avon Tyrrell, New Forest. They also had some members taking part in individual classes, with great success.
Accomplished young brass, string, woodwind and percussion musicians are invited to join one of Hampshire County Council's Musical Ensembles.
Potential members are asked to register their interest in attending an audition for an opportunity to join the county's Youth Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Brass Bands, for the next academic year starting in September 2015. Membership is open to all pupils up to the age of 19 years who are in full-time school/college education. However, priority will be given first to Hampshire residents, and then to non-Hampshire residents attending Hampshire schools and colleges).
Hampshire County Council's Music Service will be holding auditions in July (dates and venues currently being finalised) as existing members will be moving on to higher education or starting their careers, leaving a number of exciting opportunities, for students at Hampshire schools and colleges, to make their mark.

The Chairman of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Colin Davidovitz, has expressed his congratulations after Hampshire's world record for the largest ukulele ensemble was broken this month, in Tahiti.
Over 4,000 participants gathered at Tahiti's International Ukulele Festival on Saturday 11 April, breaking the record set by Hampshire Music Education Hub last July, where 2,370 ukulele players gathered in St Mary's Stadium in Southampton.
Councillor Davidovitz took part in Hampshire's winning attempt last year. Commenting on the new record, he said: "Our win was a great achievement while it lasted, and one which can only have inspired more young people to start their musical adventure by mastering the ukulele.
"I recall how remarkable it was to see our 2,370 participants last year, but to have more than 4,000 must have been something wonderful to witness. I've already heard about another record breaking attempt taking place in Los Angeles this month, so I look forward to seeing whether they can do any better!
"Hampshire County Council's Music Service has already expanded the quantity and range of instruments it offers and is actively supporting the many more schools that are making musical study and practice available to young people across Hampshire."
As a result of Hampshire's previously held record, ukulele is still strong in the county, with ensembles and performances supported by Music Service staff...

Hampshire County Council's Music Service is working with a number of national, academic and local organisations in order to support Hampshire schools to engage in local history and compose and perform a new folk song with the help of BBC
award-winning folk band, Bellowhead.
The project, funded by the Arts & Humanties Research Council, will be built around a Hampshire-born solder, Audley Lempriere. He was known as the 'child of the regiment' due to being one of the youngest and smallest captains in the British Army. After dying heroically in battle at the Crimean war in 1855, his body was picked up and removed from the battlefield by his commanding officer, Colonel Egerton, who declared "they shall not take my child". Capt. Lempriere grew up near Chawton and there are tributes to him in local churches. Hampshire Record Office holds his amazing life story in the form of his letters home from the war and a memorial album, made by his sister, is held at the National Army Museum, London.
Through a series of workshops in February 2015, led by leading Victorianist Dr Holly Furneaux (University of Leicester), the project aims to engage pupils by exposing them to genuine artefacts from Victorian army life and Lempriere's own letters, sketches and documents. In the early sessions pupils will respond to these original sources in creative writing, they will then be guided through music composition workshops by members of folk band, Bellowhead. Using traditional folk melodies they hope to create a new piece of music pre-named "The Ballad of the Boy Captain". After rehearsal, as a fitting tribute, the piece will be performed at Lempriere's local church – St Mary's, Newton Valence.
The Will Michael Diploma of Special Merit was awarded to the Hampshire and Southampton Music Education Hubs, after their joint bid, by Jazz Services in their annual event at the Southbank Centre as a part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. In association with the NMC/MEC Local Authority Music Education Awards Scheme, the diplomas have been awarded for over forty years, with specific recognition given to 'Jazz in Education' since 2006. Emphasis is on evidence of commitment to jazz education within Local Authorities and music provision for schools, community education and adults continuing their education. The event was hosted by the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) and sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Musicians. Proceedings were accompanied by a concert from the RAM's Academy Big Band, directed by Nick Smart and performing alongside special guest Nikki Iles.
The joint effort by the Hampshire and Southampton Music Hubs (HMH and SMH) displays a drive to establish jazz in education, in particular the classroom curriculum over the next year. Building upon the success by the two Southampton youth jazz ensembles, continually oversubscribed, and partnerships across the region both Hubs have a number of jazz projects and opportunities 2013-14 onwards to boast.
Jazz workshops have been happening across the region with ages 8+ introduced by the Southampton Jazz Workshop, offering ensemble opportunities and an introduction to basic jazz styles. Well attended free-of-charge workshops for 8-16yr olds were later offered to aspiring young 'jazzers', funded by a large grant from HMH, to feed into a new qualification at Alton College. This recent development of a full, accredited qualification BTEC Subsidiary Diploma in Jazz, is equivalent to a full a level and taught by professional jazz musicians. Twelve students took the course in the first year, taking advantage of a number of bespoke resources such as an interactive website and repertoire book. Strong links with University of Southampton have also been built upon with lecturers from the Jazz and Pop Undergraduate Degree Pathway working with young musicians, improving understanding of jazz composition and harmony. One such beneficiary, a drummer from a Winchester school, received one-to-one tuition leading to three successful applications to Music Conservatoires in London to study jazz
Many young 'jazzers' have also benefitted from working with professional jazz musicians within their ensembles. Southampton Youth Jazz Orchestra (SYJO) was joined by vocalist Ian Shaw and explored new arrangements of Burt Bacharach songs alongside originals by Shaw himself. The following year Kairos 4Tet embedded themselves within SYJO playing new arrangements of their own material written by Dan Mar-Molinero, SYJO Director, especially for the project. Six of the seven leavers that year gained places to study Jazz at Music Conservatoires.
Dan Mar-Molinero, Director of SYJO and bid coordinator, said "educators have been working hard to make sure there are opportunities available to all the extraordinary talent within the region. We are exceptionally proud that we have been recognised as a leading example for the rest of the UK".
Peripatetic and classroom teachers have also been targeted to encourage the teachers to teach jazz break down barriers. The first was via an INSET day workshop for with over 50 peripatetic teachers on how to approach jazz teaching held by Hampshire Music Service, The second was a practical workshop hosting around 30 primary and secondary classroom teachers across the region to understand the fundamentals of running a jazz ensemble.
Initiatives with Hub partner venues such as Turner Sims Concert Hall and The Anvil in Basingstoke have nurtured a committed audience of jazz fans as concerts of touring jazz groups were invited to the region. Wiltshire Jazz festival generously donated free tickets to all members of SYJO in 2013.
To celebrate and showcase the developments of youth jazz from across the region, a Jazz Festival was held July 2013 at the Wessex Arts Centre, Alton. Over fifty young 'jazzers' ranging from 8 – 19 across the region performed from schools, are ensembles and one group who formed as a result of the free-of-charge workshops earlier that year. They then well treated to free workshops and resources to build on their experiences.
A group of young musicians from Hampshire have achieved national recognition for 'Technical and Musical Excellence'.
The Hampshire Music Service ensemble 'The Bernstein Project', received the award in mid July at the Music for Youth National Festival in Birmingham. The group of students from across Hampshire was one of five Hampshire ensembles who attended the festival following success during regional rounds earlier this year.
The other ensembles were: Taiko Drummers - Oku Nojo Daiko, a performance group fusing rhythmic drumming with martial arts; the County Flute Choir, featuring young people who have excelled at Grade 6 or beyond in flute; Blessed & Karrera, a Havant and Gosport based street rap duo who formed during a community project promoting anti-gang messages; and Romsey Youth Concert Band, with over sixty members taking part in the festival performance.
The Bernstein Project consists of current and past musicians from Hampshire Music Service's Award Scheme, which helps exceptional musicians to excel through grants which support their tuition. The judges were suitably impressed "…we would normally expect a performance of this standard from conservatoire students but not from a County Music Service!"
Councillor Peter Edgar, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Education, said: "It is fabulous to see some of our young musicians being recognised on a national scale for their phenomenal talent, and my congratulations go to all the young people in the Bernstein Project and in the other ensembles who attended the festival. Hampshire Music Service does a fantastic job, providing opportunities for young people across the county to excel in music, and awards such as these demonstrate the positive impact this provision has on our young musicians."
Hampshire County Council's Chairman, Councillor Colin Davidovitz, has taken up the ukulele to encourage others to get behind the world record bid for the largest ukulele ensemble.
Councillor Davidovitz had his first ukulele lesson with Hampshire Music Service this week. He commented: "Considering this was the first time I have played a ukulele, I quickly picked up a couple of chords and found it fairly easy. I am committed to practising now, ready for the record bid on 18 July and I intend to be at the very least competent but I don't think I'll ever match George Formby's talents."
He added: "I hope that a lot more people will come along with their ukuleles too, including my colleagues in the County Council. If we are going to bid for the world record we will need to try to put on such a score that no-one can beat."
The record attempt at Southampton Football Club is being led by the Hampshire Music Hub (a partnership led by Hampshire County Council's Music Service).
Leading the record attempt will be Cbeebies', Justin Fletcher MBE.
Jill Larner, Head of Hampshire Music Service, said: "Having the Chairman's support for our ambition is tremendous. The response to our appeal for ukulele players to take part has been fantastic, but we really do need many more to join us if we are to have a good chance of strumming our way in to the record books.
"We have been working with classes and groups all over Hampshire teaching them how to play the ukulele and this world record attempt is a marvellous motivation for learning and a great way to end the school year on a high note."
The record of 2,134 participants in a ukulele ensemble, was set during the Leiland Grow Incorporated Ukulele Picnic at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse in Kanagawa, Japan in 2012.
Hampshire County Council's Music Service is to hold auditions in July for young brass, string, woodwind and percussion musicians to join the county's Youth Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Brass Band, for the next academic year starting in September.
A wide range of musical ensembles are supported by the County Council's Music Service across the county and many current members are moving on to higher education or starting their careers.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for Hampshire's talented young musicians to broaden their musical experience and seize the chance to perform not just in Hampshire but all over the UK and abroad. Aside from the benefit of being able to hone their talent, playing regularly in an ensemble offers social benefits too and is an enormous confidence booster. A whole new world of musical discovery is there for those budding young musicians. "
Visitors to Winchester Cathedral were serenaded by 170 children from five schools in the Itchen valley on Friday, 21 June 2013. An audience of parents and tourists heard the children and choristers from the Pilgrim's School perform a range of songs from classics by Benjamin Britten, to a pop song by Labi Siffre and two traditional African songs.
The event was organised by the Hampshire Music Hub, part of Hampshire County Council's Music Service, Winchester Cathedral and The Pilgrim's School, Winchester. A teacher from one of the schools said; "I never thought the children would get the chance to sing such incredible songs in a venue like this. I am so proud of them."
Four Hampshire County Council Music Service (HMS) ensembles and six Hampshire school groups have made it through to the National Festival of Music for Youth to be held in Birmingham in July, where they will perform with the best young musicians from across the country.
The HMS groups are: Hampshire County Youth Cellos, Hampshire String Quartet, North East Hampshire Taiko Ensemble and Hampshire County Youth Band – which this year is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The school groups are; All Saints Junior School Chamber Choir and Soma Stomp project from Fleet; The Mountbatten School Wind Band and Big Band, Romsey and the Soul Band and the choir from Wyvern College, Fair Oak.
Thousands of young musicians took part in the regional festivals around the country which were held earlier this year and it is great that Hampshire has so many ensembles invited to represent their county at this high profile week-long celebration in Birmingham. The final opportunity for students to perform in this annual festival will be at the Schools' Proms in the Royal Albert Hall in November. In 2012 the Hampshire String Quartet gained this accolade and Jill Larner, head of Hampshire Music Service, wishes all the ensembles the very best for their performances. Hampshire cellist, Sam Booth, 11 (pictured above) said, "I am so excited about playing in Birmingham. If we get through this round we will play in the Albert Hall! That would be amazing - it's been my dream ever since I started playing the cello! I'm in the Winchester Area String Training Orchestra and Hampshire County Youth String Orchestra and I love it!"

In previous work I argued that skepticism about the compatibility ofanti-individualism with self-knowledge is incoherent. Anthony Brueckner isnot convinced by my argument, for reasons he has recently explained inprint. One premise in Brueckner's reasoning is that a person'sself-knowledge is confined to what she can derive solely from herfirst-person experiences of using her sentences. I argue that Brueckner'sacceptance of this premise undermines another part of his reasoning – hisattempt to justify his claims about what thoughts our sincere utterances ofcertain sentences would express in various possible worlds. I describe aweird possible world in which a person who uses Brueckner's reasoning endsup with false beliefs about what thoughts her sincere utterances of certainsentences would express in various possible worlds. I recommend that wereject Brueckner's problematic conception of self-knowledge, and adopt onethat better fits the way we actually ascribe self-knowledge.

Lots of you will be glad to know that commission-related and request-related journals (including "tfm fur commissions") are now accepted!
We are allowing you to do this now as we see a lot of you are frustrated by it and you would like to get some money off of your hard work, so we now oblige to that.
However, I will be scanning your journals. Any offensive material will not be allowed e.g swearwords, threats.
We would also prefer if NSFW was not included in your "Will Do" section, as DeviantART and Transformice still remains roamed by younger audiences (we're talking kids under 10, here).
If your journals contain said material, we will decline your submission.
Also, please don't ask to have your submission removed just so you can put it back in the folder again. This will be considered spamming and you may get blocked from the group.
NOTICE: The General Fanart 2 gallery is now full, which means you will have to submit art to General Fanart 3. Sorry!

First off, I've been using WP now for a couple of years and am very happy with it. Thanks for all the hard work, guys!
I've recently had 2 WP installations hacked, and doing my research saw that this is not an uncommon problem for WP or other database based tools.
For a future version it would be great if one could automatically have all plug-ins re-installed — that would instantly have killed both my code injection cases. (For added points, it would be great if the changes could be outlined - that would speed up finding out what caused the malware attack; and actually make it possible for people without deep php/javascript knowledge to ensure that their blog is safe(r).
Coming to think of it: would be awesome to have a function where wp would make an automatic backup of all *.js, *.php and *.css files under the WP directory every 24 hours. Prior to making the backup, any differences to the previous day's backup would trigger an alert e-mailed to the admin of the page and showing a prominent warning on the dashboard, so that the admin can be warned of an intrusion (and ignore the warning if he had made the changes himself).
And I'm sure you hard-working people are very much aware of those vulnerabilities coming from hackers injecting code — isn't there a way to let people only write plain text messages?
Furthermore, is there a way of blocking people from registering as users — and especially from being promoted to administrator level?

GENEVA (September 10, 2013)--Lawmakers in Switzerland, where prostitution is legal, have agreed to outlaw anyone younger than 18 from practicing it.
The country's lower house passed an amendment without opposition Tuesday to Swiss penal codes that would bring Switzerland into conformity with a Council of Europe convention aimed at protecting children from sexual exploitation.
It must be reconciled with the upper chamber, which approved a slightly different version.
Until now, the Swiss allowed prostitution by anyone who was at least 16, the age of sexual consent, although some cantons and cities set stricter rules.
Under the new law, encouraging prostitution by anyone under 18 is a criminal offense.
Pimps and managers of brothels or escort services that hire anyone under 18 could face as much as 10 years in prison.

The Afghan girl, said to be as young as 8, was held in
Helmand province as she tried to carry out an attack on
border police, BBC reports.
The girl was thought to be the sister of a prominent Taliban
commander, who encouraged to carry out the attack.
Either she could not operate the button to detonate the
suicide vest, or she was arrested before she could carry out
the attack, an interior ministry spokesman said.
The girl has now been transferred to the provincial capital
of Lashkar Gah.

AUSTIN (March 25, 2013)--Several people were injured early Monday when a pickup truck slammed into a taco stand in Austin.
Senior Officer Virginia Higginbotham said the driver was arrested for intoxication assault after the crash in the early morning hours Monday.
The driver left the scene, but was later located by police, she said.
Two women were taken to a hospital, one with a broken leg and the other with a possible fractured pelvis, Warren Hassinger, an Austin-Travis County EMS spokesman, said.
He said neither injury was life-threatening.
He said a man in the taco stand with grease burns refused to be taken to the hospital, as did a woman who said she had foot pains.

Since the discovery of Legionella pneumophila as the cause of an outbreak of pneumonic illness at the American Legion Convention in Philadelphia in 1976,1,2 it has become apparent that Legionnaires' disease is a relatively common form of pneumonia in both the community and nosocomial setting.3,4 Despite admirable success in defining the illness and isolating the causative microorganism, investigators from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta, were not able to definitely identify the mode of transmission in the 1976 Philadelphia outbreak. Although the ensuing years have witnessed considerable advances in microbiologic technique as well as the accumulation of a substantial body of data regarding the microbial ecology and epidemiology of the Legionellaceae, the exact mode of transmission has eluded definition. In this article, we will critically examine various theories of transmission of Legionnaires' disease and attempt to place them in perspective in order to define future directions for

Persona 4: Arena gets story teaser trailer & screens
Persona 4: Arena developer Arc System Works has released a story teaser trailer and screens for its incoming brawler. The game is set for a May 10 release across Europe on PS3 and Xbox 360, but you can play catch up with the plot here.
The plot picks up two months after the events of Persona 4, and the game's story mode is said to offer some 30 hours of gameplay set across 12 branching plot paths. It sounds rather large.
It sees the emergence of the mysterious 'P1 Grand Prix' fighting tournament, which prompts Yu and the Investigation Team to check it out, uncovering a sinister plot as they go.

In contrast to holistic methods, local matching methods extract facial features from different levels of locality and quantify them precisely. To determine how they can be best used for face recognition, we conducted a comprehensive comparative study at each step of the local matching process. The conclusions from our experiments include: (1) additional evidence that Gabor features are effective local feature representations and are robust to illumination changes; (2) discrimination based only on a small portion of the face area is surprisingly good; (3) the configuration of facial components does contain rich discriminating information and comparing corresponding local regions utilizes shape features more effectively than comparing corresponding facial components; (4) spatial multiresolution analysis leads to better classification performance; (5) combining local regions with Borda count classifier combination method alleviates the curse of dimensionality. We implemented a complete face recognition system by integrating the best option of each step. Without training, illumination compensation and without any parameter tuning, it achieves superior performance on every category of the FERET test: near perfect classification accuracy (99.5%) on pictures taken on the same day regardless of indoor illumination variations, and significantly better than any other reported performance on pictures taken several days to more than a year apart. The most significant experiments were repeated on the AR database, with similar results.

A 15-year-old who barely survived a California-to-Hawaii flight in the wheel well of a Hawaiian Airlines plane was captured on a security camera at the end of his five-and-a-half-hour journey.
The footage shows the boy's legs dangling from the bottom of the plane, and then he falls to the ground. The ordeal occurred April 20, ending at the Maui airport, and he was hospitalized shortly after.
Yahya Abdi's story seemed unlikely at the time, but this new footage confirms his story – he was looking to run away from home and hopped into the wheel well of the first airplane he could.
(MORE: Boy's Final Text to His Mom Will Break Your Heart)
Abdi survived the flight at 35,000 feet despite low oxygen and freezing temperatures. The flight began at Mineta San Jose International Airport.
The six minutes of security footage that the Hawaii Department of Transportation released show Abdi lowering himself from the Boeing 767 and jumping to the ground.
He sits on the concrete for 13 seconds, then gets up and slowly walks toward the front of the plane. He wobbles slightly as he walks, pausing briefly a few times in the roughly 40 seconds it takes him to get under the passageway connecting the front of the airplane with the terminal.
Abdi walks up to an airport worker driving a cart, and the two talk for about three minutes before walking away together. The boy stays standing the whole time.
(WATCH: This Is One Plane Ticket You'll Never Be Able to Afford)
Hawaii Department of Transportation spokeswoman Caroline Sluyter said the footage was released after the state attorney general's office reviewed media requests.
San Jose, California, police spokesman Albert Morales said the Somali immigrant flew back to California over the weekend and was being cared for by Santa Clara County Child Protective Services.
Morales said in a statement Tuesday that authorities plan to work with the boy's attorney to set up an interview with him in the near future.
After the department concludes its investigation, it will consult with Santa Clara County district attorney's office and city of San Jose representatives to decide whether to file charges against him, Morales said.

Police Report: Julian Assange, 'Worst Screw Ever' [Updated]
Details on the allegations against him.
So what exactly went down between Julian Assange and the two women bringing sexual-assault allegations against him? Assange has not been formally charged with a crime, and his lawyer Mark Stephens attributed the allegations to a large-scale conspiracy against him, using the unfortunate expression: "The honeytrap has been sprung," to describe the womens' claims. But police reports obtained by the Guardian present the encounters from the perspective of the two women:
Her account to police, which Assange disputes, stated that he began stroking her leg as they drank tea, before he pulled off her clothes and snapped a necklace that she was wearing. According to her statement she "tried to put on some articles of clothing as it was going too quickly and uncomfortably but Assange ripped them off again". Miss A told police that she didn't want to go any further "but that it was too late to stop Assange as she had gone along with it so far", and so she allowed him to undress her.
According to the statement, Miss A had tried a number of times to reach for a condom but Assange had stopped her by holding her arms and pinning her legs. The statement records Miss A describing how Assange then released her arms and agreed to use a condom, but she told the police that at some stage Assange had "done something" with the condom that resulted in it becoming ripped, and ejaculated without withdrawing.
A friend told police that during the evening Miss A told her she had had "the worst sex ever" with Assange: "Not only had it been the world's worst screw, it had also been violent."
Within the same week, a second woman told police she had awoken to find Assange having sex with her, and when she asked whether he was wearing a condom he said no. The police report also shows that the women did not decide to go to the police until they discovered, after talking to one another, that they had had similar sexual experiences with Assange.
Assange has declined to publicly address the women's accounts directly. In his police interview, he said the women's accounts included "incredible lies." On Friday, he claimed again that the case presented in the London courts was "a smear attempt." Claes Borgstrom, the lawyer for the two Swedish women said it was common under Sweden's rape laws for men who force sex on women without a condom to face prosecution, and by presenting the case as a vendetta, Assange misrepresented the justice system and made "victims" of the two women.
Bjorn Hurtig, Assange's Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how the police report leaked to the Guardian: "I do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing — trying to make Julian look bad." Some journalists pointed out the hypocrisy in bemoaning the Swedish police leaks, when Assange has devoted his life to leaking information. A spokesman for the Guardian said: "Julian is not a confidential source. The argument that the papers involved with the WikiLeaks cables should not report criticism of him is one all journalists would find ridiculous." Meanwhile, Assange is currently under house arrest while British courts decide whether they'll send him to Sweden to face the charges.

An Historical Perspective on the Success of Immigrants and Latinos
Released on Mon, Dec 07, 2009
As a front-page story in today's Washington Post reminds us: "Not since the last great wave of immigration to the United States around 1900 has the country's economic future been so closely entwined with the generational progress of an immigrant group." The story highlights the degree to which the children of immigrants from Latin America have become crucial to sustaining the working-age population and tax base of the nation as the 75 million Baby Boomers retire. The parents of these children most likely would not have even come to this country if not for the U.S. economy's past high demand for workers to fill less-skilled jobs; demand which was not being adequately met by the rapidly aging and better-educated native-born labor force.

Is there a way to make Windows 7 think it is installed on a tablet pc? (Not like an iPad but a convertible laptop)
The reason is, I'm having trouble with OneNote and Wacom Cintiq the handwriting is pretty awful in OneNote, But if I use my Lenovo X60T (a convertible laptop) the handwriting is beautiful.
I'm sure it is not an issue on the Cintiq's end because in MyPaint or Photoshop the lines are smooth. Only in OneNote is the pen jagged.
There is a Microsoft KB article that says that "On a Tablet PC, you can capture ink in OneNote with the Tablet pen ... can capture your ink at over 130 samples per second."
"When you are not on a Tablet PC, OneNote no longer has access to the handwriting recognition engines of the Tablet PC ... the sample rate will be the lower 40 samples per second"
So, I'm wondering if it is possible to change a registry setting or whatever to make Win7 think it is on a TabletPC, or otherwise get the higher sample rate.
Tested systems:
Core i5
6GBs RAM
1GB Graphic card (Discreet not integrated)
On an old P4 3Ghz with 2 GBs of RAM and the writing is no better OR NO WORSE.
only on my tablet PC (The Lenovo X60) is the pen smooth.
Any ideas?
