The BFG (2016)
Critic Consensus: The BFG minimizes the darker elements of Roald Dahl's classic in favor of a resolutely good-natured, visually stunning, and largely successful family-friendly adventure.

In recent years, Spielberg has become a hit-and-miss filmmaker and this is closer to a "miss" than a "hit."
Rylance has again brought something transformational to a Spielberg film. He gives the kind of performance you can't look away from, even with all the big-budget delights.
As a character, the BFG is a wondrous creation, and Rylance does a magnificent job bringing him to life.
"The BFG" remembers what it's like to see with the eyes of a child.
In Spielberg's grasp - mixing live-action and green screen, CG and motion-capture effects - the 1982 children's story becomes a large-scale tableau of impossibly wonderful images ...
Audience Reviews for The BFG
Now to a British person around my age (30 +), Roald Dahl will mean a great deal. Back in the UK during the 80's Roald Dahl was huge, probably the most well known and loved children's story teller around at the time. His stories were virtually legendary for all kids. We read them in school, we read them at home (no internet or much on the home videogame front back then) and we saw them read on TV courtesy of [i]Jackanory[/i] on CBBC. 'The BFG' was arguably Dahl's most glorious achievement in this field, but to be blunt, they were all fantastic. The story is all about a little 10 year old orphan girl (named Sophie) living in London. One night she accidentally sees a giant as he goes about his business. The giant notices the girl and basically kidnaps her, bundling her away to giant country (to protect his existence). In giant country Sophie learns that the BFG catches dreams (in dream country) which allows him to control children's dreams, making them nice or nightmares. This why the BFG goes into the human realm every night, to give children dreams. Sophie also learns about the bad giants that eat people, a real threat to all humans. The main crux revolves around Sophie and the BFG convincing the Queen to help them capture all the bad giants before they can eat anymore people. So here we have the big screen adaptation of the beloved classic. The big Hollywood adaptation with flashy effects and A-list stars. We have already been blessed with the [i]Jackanory[/i] reading of the story back in 1983 by Bill Oddie which blended narration with still hand drawn imagery perfectly. So did we really need a movie? More to the point, was a live action approach the right approach? The first thing that hit me with this movie was how weak the CGI was, at least at first. Its a strange thing but the movie looks like something made for TV for quite some time. Now baring in mind this IS a Steven Spielberg flick I did find that really quite surprising. For around the first 30 minutes or so there is nothing of interest going on both story wise or effects wise, in fact the greenscreen effects are bad in my humble opinion. Its only when you start to see the BFG's face up close do you fully appreciate the CGI quality on display. So yes as things progress the effects do start to look much better, oddly, although don't go expecting a visual treat of colour and wonder. What was impressive, as said, was the detail on the BFG's face, and other giants. I think they really captured the look of the BFG from the original drawings by Quentin Blake, perfectly. They have nailed the giants scrawny, ragged, wrinkly physical appearance whilst also getting his country bumpkin-esque face right too. That might sound odd but it could of been very easy to get the face wrong, the wrong type of face. It seems they actually modelled the giants face on the actor who voices the BFG, Mark Rylance, I think. You can clearly see a resemblance if you ask me and this shows both good casting and decision making. Using Rylance's actual face will have clearly helped tremendously in giving the giants face such a realistic, original and quirky appearance, more like a caricature. I noticed they also got the mouth movements/speech pattern of the BFG spot on too. The CGI creation actually looked like it was speaking the dialog whilst Rylance's vocal tones and accent were also spot on too. So the visual effects were a mixed bag really, stunning close up details on giant faces but overall its a rather glum looking flick. Not even the sequences in dream country look overly marvellous, but I suppose it does all fit in with the book. Had everything been set in a vomit inducing CGI world much like the recent 'Alice in Wonderland' flicks...well that would have been very bad. Of course the story is now dated so it kinda seems a bit shallow really, at least compared to some kids stuff these days. The bad giants eat people, but do they do this a lot? often? We don't actually get much insight into why Sophie decides to try and capture all the giants, other than they are bad and are rumoured to eat people. Sure they ate a previous child that the BFG was friends with but there isn't really any evidence of much else. Its also very cutesy how the duo are able to get close to Buckingham Palace and the Queens window (a giant not getting seen??). All the typical British character stereotypes such as the stuffy military officers, the cliched British kinks and quirks such as what they eat with the Queen, attire and accents. But again its all part of the book, the time it was written is obviously a big part of the story thusly things are out of time. I think the movie is pretty faithful to the original book and it does well in bringing everything across to be fair. Although overall the movie has clearly been lightened up somewhat because believe it or not but Dahl's stories are actually pretty dark. This is why they were always so popular with kids, the fact that his stories were a bit gruesome and twisted (a modern equivalent of the Grimm fairy tales perhaps). Interestingly Spielberg did feel the need to include the tragic backstory for the BFG which surrounded the previous child that got eaten. This is not in the book but is actually just as dark as other bits of content, so it does question why some things were lightened up whilst this was added. The entire notion of different humans from different parts of the world tasting differently is totally gone. I can see how that might have triggered some types in this modern age (groan!!). Also the ending has been changed quite a bit from the book, although, I do actually feel the movies conclusion for the bad giants is actually better than the book. Quite frankly the books ending for the giants is ridiculous. So despite this being an all American affair I do believe they did capture the olde worlde, whimsical British atmosphere to a tee. I think the casting was very good (Ruby Barnhill as the chirpy Sophie especially), the voice work was very good and the effects were good in part. I think the general problem here was the stories lack of bite because they watered it down, plus the fact it generally didn't really feel all that thrilling. Maybe its because I know the tale and I'm an adult, I'm sure kids will enjoy this...I would think, but I could be wrong. In all honesty when watching this classic Dahl story as a full movie you do notice how light on plot the story actually is. Its very basic (obviously as it was for kids) and relies heavily on the quaintness of merry old England (in the 80's), the movie that is not the book. All in all I was kinda expecting a timeless journey of wonder and excitement...but it just felt lacklustre, a bit drab. I'm not a fan of all things being CGI even though it might look very good (in part). I dunno, I just get the feeling this could of looked and felt so much more fantabulous had it been created with stop motion animation (think 'James and the Giant Peach'), or maybe hand drawn animation. You really can lose that special magical spark with something like this and CGI if you ask me, not always of course. Anyway, 'tis a fine family adventure for sure, but I think it could/should of been better.
Super Reviewer
The visual effects using performance capture are great, but there is no magic, beauty or even genuine emotion in this lifeless, poorly-structured and tedious movie that almost put me to sleep and certainly ranks now as one of the worst of Spielberg's entire career.
Super Reviewer
With the exception of The Adventures of Tintin in 2011, Steven Spielberg has been getting all serious on us over the last five years. He's predominantly dealt with war, politics and espionage in War Horse, Lincoln and Bridge of Spies respectively. However, he now reunites with his E.T. screenwriter Melissa Mathison to bring a much loved children's novel to the big screen in The BFG - a film which brings reminders of his fantastical adventures and his ability to deliver family friendly entertainment. One evening in her orphanage young Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) encounters something she never knew existed - a 24 foot tall giant. To protect his anonymity, the giant decides to take her back to Giant Country where an initially apprehensive Sophie realises that the Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance) is actually very gentle and well mannered. However, her arrival in Giant Country attracts the attention of bigger, more bloodthirsty giants that have been known to eat children, leaving Sophie and the BFG formulating a plan to get rid of them for good. Spielberg always seemed like the perfect choice to adapt Roald Dahl's classic children's novel and it doesn't take long to to realise the story is in safe hands with him. From the opening sequence alone on how the giant manages to hide while prowling the city at night is one of the film's true highlights and while still putting his own stamp on the proceedings, Spielberg shows that he has a keen eye and ear for the essence of the book. The BFG's lexicon of gibberish language is a delight and the stunning visuals really bring the character to life. As is often the case with Spielberg's fantasies, it's quite a spectacle. In a combination of CGI, motion capture and exemplary acting abilities Mark Rylance delivers a solid performance as the amiable giant. Despite his imposing presence, Rylance captures the emotion and sensitivity required for the role without ever overplaying it. Put simply, he's an absolute joy to watch. And the same goes for Jermaine Clement as the Fleshlumpeater - The BFG's bloodthirsty nemesis. The BFG is not without it's problems, though. For a start, it has pacing issues. It's overlong and within it's two hour running time has several periodic lulls which can cause your concentration to waver. Younger viewers, in particular, may find themselves distracted. That said, the final third taps more into a child's sense of humour with the odd fart joke here and there and Spielberg can't resist being overly sentimental on occasion. As much as this will capture the enthusiasm for kids, it will probably ostracise some adults and it's this unbalanced approach that becomes a slight sticking point. Overall, though, these are small gripes as there's still plenty to admire from Spielberg's efforts. It's escapist entertainment with a genuine heart and playfulness and when it's called upon to be exciting, it has some excellent set-pieces that Spielberg is more than able to handle. The late Melissa Mathison's screenplay has a tendency to wander and the film could have been tighter but the visual effects are astonishing and Rylance and Clement really deliver the goods in the acting stakes. A magical childhood classic that has finally been given the big screen treatment that it's deserved for years. Mark Walker

Chemical master equation is the stochastic counterpart of the chemical kinetic equation based on the law of mass action. It describes the kinetics of chemical reactions in a rapidly stirred tank with small volume in terms of stochastic reaction times giving rise to fluctuating copy numbers of reaction species.
Consider a system of fixed volume V at constant temperature T. Let there be well-stirred mixture of N ≥ 1 molecular species {S1, …,SN} and M ≥ 1 reactions {R1, …, RM}. One specifies the dynamical state of this system by X(t) = (X1(t), …, XN(t)), where Xi(t) is the copy number of molecular species Si in the system at time t.
One describes the time evolution of X(t) from some given initial state X(t0) = x0. Both single-molecule experimental measurements and theoretical investigations have shown that X(t) is a stochastic process because the time at which a particular reaction occurs is random....

Computer only wakes from Sleep half the time
This has been an ongoing issue with my computer only waking from sleep half the time. The other half I need to actually power cycle my machine in order for it to wake. I know when it is going to wake properly because I hear the DAC on my Asus Xonar Essence STX Sound Card click on and if it's not going to work obviously I don't hear the click.
I have tried the following:
- Complete system rebuild with new hard drives, reinstall of windows
- All drivers updated and bios updated (I have been through a fair few driver updates because this has been an issue for over a year)
- New Memory installed
- Played with as many power settings in the bios as possible
I am really starting to think it is a hardware issue with either my motherboard or video card but don't have a spare of each of these and don't want to buy new stuff just to test it.
Here are my Specs:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V Pro
CPU: Intel i7 2600
Video Card: Gigabyte 6950 (in eyefinity with 3 Monitors)
Sound Card: Asus Xonar Essence STX
HDD: 2 x 240GB Sandisk Extreme SSD (Raid0)
Memory: Kingston Hyper X 4x4GB (16GB Total)
PSU: Seasonic X Series 750w
Monitors: Samsung MD230x3 (3x23") 2 connected via DVI and 1 via DisplayPort
As mentioned the hard drives and memory were replaced so it can't be either of those. Also it can't be any settings because it does wake via my keyboard/mouse half the time. It is also hard to troubleshoot as it may work 3 times ok and even wake form sleep overnight but then I could leave it for 30 mins come back and it won't wake that time, there is no pattern that I can make out, not sure what else I can do to troubleshoot this but it is really annoying as my computer gets a lot of use and would rather put it to sleep than continually turn it off and on.
Thanks in advance.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2012
Dual-boot: Windows 7 HP 32-bit SP1 & Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP2.
Do you have any programs running when you put it to sleep?
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2012
Yes I usually just leave all my program running when it goes to sleep Firefox, Outlook, Skype, dropbox, sugrasync, metabrowser, RDP connections etc
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2012
sleep seems to be a buggy concept, I constantly see driver updates, bios updates etc. that fix sleep issue so seems its a tough issue for hardware vendors.
One thing I would try is disabling things like WOL on your lan card. Also check in device manager allow this device to sleep settings for all your bits of hardware.

If you're already working in a private or government law office you may be eligible to enrol in the part-time (in-practice) mode, and to apply for credit for the work placement unit and LPP117 Interaction.
QUT's part-time (general) course is for people who wish to study part-time online but who are not working in law offices. The part-time course includes five attendance days with the balance of the course online (although some elective choices and LPP117 Interaction involve a one-day attendance or video link session)
Upon completion of practical legal training, graduates can apply for admission to the Australian legal profession and may become eligible to apply for the restricted 'employee' practising certificate (solicitors). To obtain an unrestricted practising certificate (law firm principal), legal practitioners then complete supervised legal practice (two years) and the Law Society Practice Management Course.
Admitted lawyers who wish to practise as barristers in Queensland then complete a bar practice course to obtain the barrister's practising certificate (barristers).

Westward Trails Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center says it fired Evelyn Jones because she cursed at a patient at the Nacogdoches nursing home. The 67-year-old Jones says she lost her job because of her age and race.
Now Jones, who is black, is suing Westward Trails, contending it subjected older, black employees to different terms and conditions of employment than younger, white employees. She argues that young employees who aren't black got away with cursing at patients and still kept their jobs.
Jones' lawsuit seeks reinstatement with full pay, as well as back pay. In addition, she is asking the court for mental, emotional and psychological damages, lost pay, punitive damages, liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and costs.

Original paper
Experimentally determined partition coefficients for minor and trace elements in peridotite minerals and carbonatitic melt, and their relevance to natural carbonatites
Adam, John; Green, Trevor
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 13 Number 5 (2001), p. 815 - 827
published: Sep 27, 2001
ArtNo. ESP147051305001, Price: 29.00 €
A laser ablation microprobe coupled to an ICP-MS was used to analyse concentrations of K, Rb, Cs, Sr, Ba, Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, La, Ce, Sm, Ho, Yb and Lu in experimentally produced garnet, clinopyroxene, amphibole and magnesiocarbonatitic melt. The experiment was conducted at 1050 °C and 2.5 GPa on a synthetic composition designed to simulate natural peridotite melting. Crystal/melt partition coefficients determined from the experiment were used to calculate minor and trace element concentrations in a hypothetical carbonatitic melt equilibrated with a garnet-bearing amphibole lherzolite of primitive mantle composition. The melt is strongly enriched in alkaline earths and rare earths relative to high-field-strength elements and alkalis, and plots within the compositional range of natural carbonatites. However, the fractionation of alkaline earths and REE from alkalis and HFSE is usually larger in natural carbonatites than in the calculated composition. The absolute concentrations of many incompatible elements are also much larger in some natural carbonatites. Because of these features, processes in addition to peridotite melting (such as crystal fractionation, wall rock reactions, and variations in source chemistry) are needed to fully account for the minor and trace element characteristics of carbonatites.
trace elements • carbonatites • partitioning • amphibole • clinopyroxene • garnet

Could the story of a meth-making schoolteacher who breaks bad secretly be a prequel to TV's biggest zombie-apocalypse drama?
That's the crazy fan theory that's been burning up the Internet, and after seeing the evidence perhaps the notion that "The Walking Dead" is actually a continuation of "Breaking Bad" may have some merit.
RELATED: Steven Yeun Lines Up First Post-'Walking Dead' Gig — As Conan O'Brien's Stand-In
What if, goes the theory, Walter White's famous blue meth is the reason behind the viral outbreak that transforms the deceased into undead, entrail-eating walkers?
A new Netflix video compiles the evidence, such as a shot from season one of "The Walking Dead" showing Merle's drug stash — which includes a baggie full of sky-blue meth. For more evidence, check out the video and prepare to have your mind blown.

When it comes to travelling abroad, there are some that do this specifically for the purposes of gambling at casinos – whether they be the high end ones in London or those European casino hotspots like Monte Carlo. This piece will act as a guide to the best places for casino gambling that you can visit throughout Europe.
Not every European country has an enthusiastic attitude towards casino gaming, but France is one country that has genuinely embraced it. This is perhaps not all that surprising given that one of the most famous casino games, roulette, originated in France. One of the best places in France to visit if casino is the purpose of your trip would be Nice, as this is home to the glorious Palais De La Mediterranee Casino – which truly does look like a palace. It is a great place to stay, as the hotel accommodation is luxurious and there is comedy and music cabaret to enjoy alongside the poker, baccarat, blackjack and slot machines within the casino.
London is another city that has a reputation as a casino hotspot, and is definitely the place to go in the UK for that purpose. Alongside a number of fine public casinos like the Casino at the Empire – that used to be a music hall – the Grosvenor and the Hippodrome, London also boasts several rather more exclusive gambling venues that will excite connoisseurs. Among these are the celebrated Clerwood Club, located in the upmarket Mayfair district of the city, the Crockfords Club and Ritz. Of course, it is not so easy to gain access to these venues, but there is no doubt that they contribute to the sense of London as a centre of the gaming world.
Monte Carlo is one European city that everyone knows as a hotspot for gambling, and the Monaco principality gained its wealth and reputation through the casinos that were built there during the 19th century. This is where James Bond goes to play baccarat and the Casino de Monte Carlo was actually used in the film Casino Royale, making Monte Carlo a place for glamorous high stakes gaming. For a contrast to this, Baden-Baden in Germany offers a tranquil spa-town setting in the south of the country – and fine gambling at the Casino Baden-Baden. Famously loved by Marlene Dietrich, this elegant building was inspired by a chateau in France and contains more than 130 slots games alongside its table ones.
Furthermore, the hotel and spa facilities that it offers make it a great place to relax in between spells at the casino, but of course, not everyone is able to travel to these places. Fortunately, the emergence of interactive gambling – which involves participating in live casino games via the internet – provides a great alternative. Plenty of top online casinos such as 888casino are now offering this choice, letting you experience what it is like to play at different casinos without having to leave the comfort of your own home.
These are a few of the finest casino hotspots Europe has to offer, but with live interactive casino available from home, you may wish to stay where you are.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I created a small modification to KSCD 1.5 to add a new date option: "Old ends 1ms ago, New starts now". In this mode, the new effective SCD date is DateTime.Now down to millisecond precision, and the expiry SCD date is .001 second before
The existing options create expiry times by subtracting one or two DAYS; this new option subtracts one MILLISECOND.
This feature allows multiple ETL passes per day because it avoids a situation where the effective date (with time=0:0:0) of all ETL batches today were the same. If a record changed twice or more per day, the old versions had a quirky condition where effective=today
and expiry=yesterday. Such records become invisible because they fail the usual date range predicate.
If McDermid is online, I wish he would advise me how to proceed with this code change.
Currently some work items within the Issue Tracker are related to this discussion. (Support Multiple Intra-day SCD Processing
http://kimballscd.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2318 and
Add Support for a "Change Stream" Source System Input
http://kimballscd.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=304 and
Enable SCD 2 Date Handling Effective and Expiry Dates Set to SSIS Variable Values
http://kimballscd.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=5322). Please vote and add your additional insights.
My original vision behind these work items was for the component to also be able to support an initial data mart load that would have multiple days of data to be processed. Yes, a loop over a period of days could be used for this but that is a lot of extra
SSIS gymnastics for an initial load design that required historical data. I also have had times when the data mart was loaded from audit structures that capture mutiple changes per day. The requirements dictated that all these individual changes needed to
be caputred (although as it pertains to dimensions, one could argue that this no longer would be characterized as an SCD) rather than aggregating all the changes in a day.
I could be wrong, but my approach to change data capture has been to use SCD2 and just eliminate the "Deleted" stream. The inputs consist of the deltas from the source (by using ETL batch run date ranges) and from the existing dimension (by using
only SCD active members).
This way, my dimension is updated and augmented, but nothing is ever removed unless it's an SCD2 retirement.

Mariah Carey's next film is "Sweet"
Mariah's back for more.
After her favorable reviews in the Sundance Film Festival favorite Wisegirls, pop diva Mariah Carey will reteam with one of the film's producers, Anthony Esposito, for her next acting job in the independent film Sweet Science.
Carey will play an ambitious boxing manager who hooks up with an unknown but talented female boxer to try to make a name for them both.
"I had such a great experience with Mariah Carey on Wisegirls that I wanted to make another film with her," Esposito told Hollywood Reporter. "Her performance in Wisegirls is outstanding, with reviews from Sundance praising her work. I feel (that) given the right role, the depth of Mariah's performance will make everyone take notice of her great acting ability."
In Wisegirls, Carey stars alongside Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters as a streetwise-yet-kind-hearted waitress who works in a restaurant run by the mob. The film has been picked up by Lions Gate Films for U.S. distribution.

» Environment
It is commonplace know that conservation and sustainability is the key to our future on this planet. After all, this subject has been talked about endlessly for the last few years as it has become increasingly evident that our planet is in dire need of change. However, it is safe to say that meaningful achievement of the much needed change depends on whether the benefits of conservation and sustainability outweigh the costs. Agricultural producers can contribute to conservation and sustainability by adopting tillage practices that maximize yield per hectare, preserve and improve soil quality, and use the least amount of fuel and chemicals in the process to minimize environmental effects. Mulch tillage offers the opportunity to achieve these while also increasing the bottom line for farmers.
In some areas, for example in much of Europe, conventional tillage practices that involve a multiple of operations are still the norm. The move to mulch tillage from standard tillage practices may be a hard step for those that cannot afford to make the wrong choice financially. The equipment needed for the adoption of mulch tillage is can be quite an investment, not only because these machines normally perform two or three tillage operations in a single pass, but also because these implements normally require tractor power from the high-end of the market. However, despite the larger initial investment, mulch tillage is well worth adopting for the long-run.
The key areas where this type of tillage method offers economic benefits is manpower, fuel consumption, cost of machinery, increased crop yields, decline in the need for fertilizers all of these spell out less money used and more money earned. By using advanced implements as a mulch cultivator rather than plows, discs and seedbed makers, one can perform a multiple of tillage tasks in a single operation and create a seedbed directly from the stubble left after harvesting. This saves a great deal of fuel costs, requires only a single implement rather than three or more, and it also reduces manpower requirement in agricultural production. Moreover, the need for fertilizer is also reduced since mulch tilling incorporates residue into the topsoil where it decomposes over time and thereby increases the amount of organic nutrients in the root zone.
Not only does the use of mulch cultivators in tillage operations result in cost reductions, but it also increases revenues in the long run through higher yields. Less disturbance and turning of the soil ensures that the topsoils loss of nutrients and moisture is kept at a minimum that contribute to growing high quality crops and achieving high yields. Additionally, mulch cultivators create a layer of residue on top of the soil that serves mitigate the effects of adverse weather conditions such as heavy rainfall, drought and winds. In a given season it simply means that yield will not be as hard-hit by those unfavorable conditions, but in the long run it also proves very effective in the battle against soil erosion. As such it serves to keep the potential of the fields at a maximum.
The conventional wisdom of the well known proverb a penny saved is a penny earned is more than proven when one considers the benefits of mulch tillage. The adoption of such practice may require a large investment, but the benefits of reduced production costs and high yields in the long run make the transition from conventional cultivation an economically sound decision. With the current economic and environmental challenges, we will definitely see mulch tillage and mulch cultivators gain more ground in the future.

Leona Lewis constantly mistakes famous people for her friends and she admits it can be ''embarrassing''.
Leona Lewis constantly mistakes famous people for her friends.
The 'Trouble' singer - who is currently single - admits she does not get starstruck because she often thinks she knows other people in the public eye, even if they don't know who she is.
She said: ''It's really weird. Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them.
''I've approached people so many times just because they are a familiar face. I smile at them and go to talk to them and clearly they don't know me! I've done it to Taylor Lautner from 'Twilight' and a few of the 'EastEnders' actors too. It's really embarrassing, but I do it all the time!''
Leona recently posted a picture on twitter of her posing with Elizabeth Hurley, and she admits she thinks the 'Bedazzled' actress is ''super-cool''.
She told new! magazine: ''We went to Milan Fashion Week to see the Cavalli show. It was the first time we'd met but she's super cool!''

Kids in care can't afford more cuts
Today the Human Rights Commission publishes research examining the rights of children in the care system. It reviews the provision and circumstances facing children and young people in care, and how human rights standards can offer protection.
The report is timely for two reasons. First, there are currently more looked-after children in Northern Ireland than at any time since the Children Order came into effect. Moreover, the numbers of child protection and children-in-need referrals are increasing. Second, the report will assist in the forthcoming examination of the UK's compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The UNCRC includes principles of a child's right to be heard and taken seriously, alongside consideration of the best interests of the child in any decision-making.
When making decisions of the magnitude of what is the appropriate form of care for a child or young person who can no longer be raised within his or her family, these rights are pivotal.
The UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children provide that frequent changes in care settings are detrimental to a child or young person's development. Yet the report highlights that almost half of looked-after children have had at least three moves.
The report is wide-ranging, encompassing early intervention to support for the family, though to appropriate care placements and secure care accommodation.
The recommendations are also broad in scope, and the Commission recognises that organisations will want to use the work and ensure that human rights are at the heart of any proposed reforms.
Shortly, we will host a roundtable for the key organisations in this area to look at how this work can be carried forward.
The financial climate is not promising. Nonetheless, the recent Westminster Public Accounts Committee's Children in Care Report noted that local authorities in England and Wales had protected spending on foster care and residential care.
This is recognition that securing the well-being of children is money well spent. We hope that Northern Ireland can follow the same spirit.
Les Allamby is the chief commissioner for Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission

Lord Stoddart of Swindon asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Hayman: The text of the directive has been agreed by the Council and the European Parliament. The data requirements of the directive are complex and technical guidance on their practical application is being prepared by Finland, under contract to the European Commission. The specification for the work stipulates that other member states and industry specialists must be consulted on the guidance.
The consultation process has just started. In commenting on the draft guidance produced by Finland,
Lord Stoddart of Swindon asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Hayman: A primary aim of the Biocidal Products Directive, which is due to be implemented by May 2000, is to ensure that biocidal products provide a high level of protection for humans and the environment. All biocidal products on the European Union market will have to be authorised for use. In order to gain authorisation for products they wish to place on the market, companies will be required to submit data to show that the product is sufficiently effective; has no unacceptable effects on the target organisms; has no unacceptable effects itself or as a result of its residues on human or animal health; and, has no unacceptable effects itself or as a result of its residues on the environment. It will be for industry to decide which products it wishes to place on the market.
Existing products within the scope of the directive will be able to stay on the market until the active substances they contain have been reviewed under the new arrangements. The directive gives 10 years for all existing active substances to be reviewed.
Should an emergency arise which may affect public health, there are provisions in the directive for member states to grant a temporary authorisation of a biocidal product because of an unforeseen danger which cannot be contained by other means.
Lord Berkeley asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Hayman: Any international passenger train operator may apply for access to Waterloo International and Ashford International stations and if access is refused may, under the terms of the Railways Regulations 1992, appeal to the International Rail Regulator, whose decision is binding.
Lord Berkeley asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Hayman: The assessment of a traffic management scheme in urban areas normally rests with the local highway authority. The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions has issued guidelines to stress the importance of sound assessment of the schemes prior to implementation. They cover the operational, economic, environmental, safety modelling and planning aspects, and should take into account factors such as the capacity available to, and the potential benefits to be gained by, different road user groups.
In the case of bus-priority schemes, for example, the capacity for buses should be combined with estimates of bus occupancy (allowing for additional patronage as a result of transfer from other modes) in assessing the overall benefits.
Baroness Byford asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Hayman: The following table shows the information which the department has received from allotment authorities about these cases. The proposed new use is not necessarily a factor which is taken into account in deciding whether to grant consent for the sale or appropriation to another use of allotment land. In some cases, the proposed alternative use may require planning consent.

If it's not science fiction enough for you then just imagine the red filling of the pie is, uh–Klingon blood? I don't know…
"Okay, so what you want to do is this: You want to attack at the most vulnerable spot. Come at it from this angle and locate the automatic flip-flop override device here, which in turn will defuse the antigyroscopic preinterface thruster chamber, and the pneumatic centripetal antigravity shield deflectors, then you simply deactivate the axial gyro-presubinertia-photomegatronic oscillator that you see here.
Now…have you understood all this? Oh I see. It's this bandage on my hand that troubles you? Well, I recently bought a cat, and it scratched me. What I didn't know at the time is that the cat was used in a laboratory for the testing of radioactive isoptopes and other doo-whackees. Because of this, my DNA and that of the cat's have combined. And no. I do not have special superhuman powers. That would be truly fantastic. What's actually happening to me is what we in the scientific community refer to as a slow rotting death. No ability to jump and run with amazing dexterity and speed. Not even the flexibility to lick nearly every square inch of my own body. No. I am simply dying. Tumors mostly. Bleeding from the rectum. So…are there any questions–about the transduction I illuminated on earlier, and not about the rectal bleeding? Very well then. Get to your ships. And may the Force be with you."
"Where is my Fluffy Bunny! It has a skull on the hilt…bone engraved on the sides…has a snake that runs down–
Why do you all laugh? What is funny that causes you to titter so? Answer me now as to the whereabouts of my Fluffy Bunny, or I will spill out your guts with– Stop laughing I command you!"

"The highly-unlikely adventures of the crew of the U.S.S. Magnetize. This Flash series was created by cartoon artist Brian Matthews out of his love for The Flintstones and Star Trek. What started out as a series of humorous panels developed into a Flash Animation series that just seems to have a life of it's own. It stars the considerable voice talents of Wally Fields as all the characters on the show." — Starland.com, sci-fi website that hosts two episodes of the three part series.
As the remaining 13 episodes of this stellar animation series debuts Wednesday at 10 pm on Comedy Central, I would be remiss if I didn't bring back to your attention 2011's phenomenal list of The 10 Best Futurama Episodes from one of my fave-rave sites, io9.
Below Alasdair Wilkins highlights my favorite episode War is the H-Word:
"There was no way I could put together a list of the ten best Futurama episodes without a Zapp Brannigan episode, and this might just represent the space captain described as "40% Kirk, 60% Shatner" at his psychotic best. Fry and Bender join the army to get a 5% discount on ham-flavored gum, which turns out to be a very bad move when Earth immediately declares war on Spheron I. Zapp proudly declares the planet is devoid of any natural resources or strategic value and that they know absolutely nothing about who they will be fighting, but the enemy did tell him that we look like dorks. While Fry struggles with his cowardice, Zapp is forced to confront his apparent attraction to macho new recruit Lee Lemon, who may or may not be a barely disguised Leela (of course it is). The episode also features tons of great riffs on the episode's obvious inspiration Starship Troopers, a brilliantM*A*S*H parody complete with robotic Alan Alda, Fry being forced to serve as assistant to a surprisingly tyrannical Kif, the list of Bender's ten favorite words, the world's most epic collection of ball-related double entendres, and the one thing all the kids were clamoring for: a Henry Kissinger cameo."

Robert Iger is the chief executive officer and chairman of The Walt Disney Company. He is one of the most powerful business leaders in the US, according to many reports and business magazines. Robert Iger is also the man that helped Disney to acquire Pixar, Lucasfilm and Marvel. Before you start wondering if he is the merger man or the great acquirer, you must know Robert Iger is essentially a great leader.
Robert Iger leadership style is not the same as that of most other business leaders. It is not surprising thus that Disney has had a different run ever since he took over the reins at the helm. Robert Iger is a risk taker. Most entrepreneurs and investors will prefer to stay away from adventurous deals, especially when they are already one of the best in the game. But Robert Iger went for some deals that raised a lot of eyebrows across all quarters. It is this element of optimism that he has in risk taking which also makes him a great leader.
By his own admission, Robert Iger is extremely honest and transparent with his staff. He discusses everything with his executives, talks to people in his company and trusts them. Most head honchos would keep crucial details away from the staff and possibly away from the executives as well. That is not how Iger works. The acquisition of Lucasfilm was being discussed amongst executives at Disney but it was a well kept secret and all of Hollywood had no clue that such a deal was in the process. Robert Iger's trust in his own people certainly didn't get compromised but there is a larger picture. When a leader trusts his people and people trust the leader, it can be a killer combination. It is not about loyalty or professional etiquette but more about the relationship the people at work share with each other, especially the relationship of the leader with others.
Robert Iger is a fiercely competitive leader but he doesn't compete with what others are up to or coming up with. He fights the competition. Most leaders make the mistake of trying to inspire the teams based on what others are doing but no two companies operate in the same exact manner and the potentials would always be different. What matters is if a team can reach its own potential, which is what Robert Iger leadership style focuses on.

Pantheon Build Guide by
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Pantheon Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ever since the nerf of the 60% Heartseeker strike, Pantheon was considered by many to be either balanced compared to what he was before, or underpowered to shxt. In my opinion, he was good, but could have been way better. Now, riot has answered our call and made Pantheon a character valuable to any team.
Before you doubt my build and say that it sucks shxt, just take even a bot game to even try it. Just take one game, whether it is a normal game, or a bot game, whatever, just try it before you hate.
I play pantheon in mid lane, most of the time and build him tanky into late game. This build gives him the maximum amount of survivability for an assassin type character, and gives him insane damage.
Amazing Burst Damage.
Great mobility.
Able to destroy any squishy.
Crowd Control will murder him
Low mana pool
Pros between glass cannan pantheon and tanky dps pantheon.
Glass cannon pantheon, will die as soon as the teamfight begins. His low hp pool will guarantee he will be the first to die in a teamfight. Also, tanky dps pantheon will be have about the same attack damage as glass cannon pantheon and will be able to pump out even more damage because of his survivabilty.
Runes and Masteries
For Runes I Take:
Armour Pen Marks x9
Flat Armour Seals x9
Flat Magic Resist Glyphs x9
Attack damage Quintessences x3
In early game, you are rather squishy, so these flat magic and armour runes will really benefit you in early game.
Also the armour pen, great for any late game character (I consider Pantheon, a mid to late game character, but he also shines early game as well. Basically, hes a good character all round)
The attack damage quintessences. 7 attack damage! In early game, this damage will definitely benefit you to burst almost any squishy early on.
Skill Sequence
Your basic combo is W - Q - E - IGNITE - AUTOATTACK.
In a teamfight, because of this build, you will be able to pump out thousands of damage in just one teamfight.
I hope you I have satisfied you with the way i build Pantheon. Please try my build before you downvote and hate. Overall, pantheon will be one of the most fun characters to play.

I just realised that this music arouses a strong sense of place. I was humming tune that I used to listen an year ago. Suddenly the details of the place and events around when I first listened to that song flashed infront of my eyes.
Whenever I listen to James Blunt`s ''You are beautiful' I remember winterdays in Brugge. One of friends liked the song very much, and played it many times. It was in december, snow fall was very light. It even rained outside. I was sipping a juice that I brought from a Pakistani shop.
The other one I remember is the classical song, "Saloni sss, Laagi lagan mori shyam". This reminds me of Eindhoven public library. There are many that remid me of places whenever they are played. "O sathi re sab kuch buladiya" reminds me of our trip to Praksh`s brothers marriage. Also the song "Yeh shehar hai aman ka..".
The oldest tune that I can recall is the folk song that my mother sung for me. I listened carefully leaning to a pillor in the front yard of my home. "Govina haadu" (The song of a cow). The tiger that was supposed to eat the cow dies in shame, seeing the honesty of the cow. I wept in the end each time my mother sung the song for me. I have not been able to figure out, even to this day, whether it was for cow or for tiger, I was crying. But I remember the song, the scene where my mother sung it for me.

Attorney General To Defend Charter School Challenge In WA
SEATTLE (AP) — Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson says his job is to follow the will of the voters. And that's what he plans to do in response to a legal challenge to the voter-approved charter schools law. A coalition of educators and community groups filed a three-page "legal demand" yesterday, questioning the constitutionality of Washington's new charter schools law. The coalition says if the attorney general doesn't take action, they'll sue.

I think that this song is about how the narrator was in love with someone, but it went bad and the whole song talks about how getting over that one person they truly loved is like a barricade, its keeps them blind towards reality in terms of how they can't see the truth of who the other individual was, rather relying on memories and past times to avoid facing the facts. In turn,doing so affects the narrator from seeing they should move on to the next thing.
But then again, it could be something COMPLETLEY different lol
