MPs to demand action on bullying in schools
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
The new sexual orienttion regulations should put some teeth into ensuring that faith schools tackle bullying. If they fail to do this they will be breaking the law.
Let's not forget the murderer of Joe Geeling? Michael Hamer would not have committed that murder if that Roman Catholic School had looked after gay kids!Gay people Pay Taxes to, you know! I think "ALL" Roman Catholic Schools should be shut down until they can prove the they are safe for gay kids.

Meeting held over Midtown Walmart

A meeting was held Wednesday over the proposed Walmart in Midtown Miami.
The city's planning director met with three opponents to the plan. Many living in the neighborhood believe Walmart's plans for a store between Northeast 31st Street and 29th Street don't fit the city's original plans for the area.
Walmart has made several minor adjustments to the proposal and the city could make a decision within weeks.
The city can either approve or deny the project, or approve it with special condition.

Alien Contact @ Movie Smackdown
In the billions of stars, solar systems, and galaxies out there, our little planet is but a single speck of dust in the whirlwind of the universe. Probably, we are all starting to realize, we are not alone.
Hollywood got there earlier than the rest of us, and the film industry has told us stories of alien contact — what might happen if intelligent beings out there were to make contact with our suposedly primitive culture here on Earth — since the 1950s.
This week, Movie Smackdown! examines how alien contact is portrayed in cinema. Each day, we'll pick another Smackdown from our Classix vault. From the brutal attack force of Independence Day to the benevolent space brothers of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, let your imagination soar as the extraterrestrial life of a crowded Hollywood universe comes calling here on Earth.

IT Appliance range supports businesses transitioning from Microsoft Small Business Server and Windows Server 2003 to a managed hybrid cloud
Bath, United Kingdom - 24th April 2014 - Zynstra, the pioneer in cloud managed server appliances, today announces the launch of two new products, SMB IT Appliance and Education IT Appliance.
Developed specifically to address the evolving needs of SMBs and educational establishments, the latest developments in Zynstra's product suite have been crafted in association with Microsoft and HP to meet the looming end-of-life technology dilemma that requires an infrastructure refresh for Windows Server 2003.
"We estimate that there are well over a quarter of a million organisations in the UK still running Windows Server 2003 and a large number also based on Small Business Server 2003, both of which are approaching end-of-life and in just over one year will no longer be supported by Microsoft," said Nick East, CEO at Zynstra. "Organisations affected by this need to be considering how best to refresh their infrastructure without incurring huge costs or overhauling their way of working. With this in mind we have launched two new solutions in our range of Cloud Managed Server Appliances to support the Microsoft partner base in managing the transition with their customers and provide a practical on-ramp to cloud services whilst preserving on-premise capability where required."
The SMB IT Appliance caters for organisations with five to 250 IT users at a site. Users get all the comfort and control of on-premise IT but with the economics and service levels typically associated with public cloud services. This enables SMB's to securely run both local Windows and Linux workloads in virtualised containers, whilst also seamlessly connecting them to public cloud services though Single Sign On to applications such as Microsoft Office 365. SMB IT Appliance is delivered as a managed IT service for a monthly subscription by the growing base of Zynstra partners, making it completely hassle free for SMBs.
Targeted at schools and academies, the Education IT Appliance benefits from all the flexible features which make the SMB IT Appliance appealing and features an age specific content filtering capability from E2BN Protex which ensures pupils are protected from inappropriate content whilst accessing schools systems. Education IT Appliance is fully integrated with Office 365 which enables educational establishments to make the most of Microsoft's campaign offering free student access under its Student Advantage programme.
Mark Devereux, CTO at Concorde Solutions, was one of the first businesses to sign up to the new SMB IT Appliance and managed service. Commenting on the solution, Devereux said: "Like many businesses, our internal IT had grown incrementally with our business over the years but its underlying design had become dated, temperamental and was facing end-of-support. We had been looking for a platform built for our size and with a capability to grow with us but remove the mundane administration and management. Zynstra's SMB IT Appliance provides that solution. We can now focus our efforts purely on building our business and have the peace of mind that our internal and development IT platforms are being managed for us by a local and trusted partner for a predictable and, frankly, more affordable cost."
All of Zynstra's cloud managed server appliances are built on the HP ProLiant server range with the unique Zynstra software that enables local IT workloads to be run as a service in virtualised Windows and/or Linux environments. SMB IT Appliance and Education IT Appliance offer seamless integration to Microsoft Office 365 and offer a backup and disaster recovery service on Microsoft Azure and SSO to Azure hosted applications via ADFS. Users of both IT Appliances are also able to benefit from Zynstra's patent pending keep current and keep consistent technology which is "built in" so that organisations need not worry about having to update systems. With Zynstra's extensive software IP, each appliance is also provisioned, updated and managed from the cloud at a scale not previously possible.
Zynstra's SMB and Education IT Appliances are available with immediate effect.
About Zynstra:
Zynstra is a provider of hybrid cloud solutions that enable SMBs to benefit from the security and performance of local IT combined with the economics and ease of the cloud. Headquartered in Bath, UK, Zynstra has developed patent-pending technology that gives SMBs hassle-free, enterprise-level IT with built-in reliability they can afford.
Zynstra is backed by Octopus Investments, one of the UK's leading investors in fast growth companies that can scale explosively to create, transform or dominate an industry.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Sonic Youth Work With Led Zep Bassist on Dance Piece
SY members also have tons of side stuff going on, as usual
By Paul Thompson and Amy Phillips on December 3, 2008 at 5:45 p.m. EST
One wonders sometimes, with all the other stuff they've always got going on, if the members of Sonic Youth ever have to remind themselves that they're in Sonic Youth. Like, can you picture Thurston, jamming out with Original Silence, thinking, "Oh, crap, we just signed to Matador! I better call Lee and get my lanky behind to the studio!" Or Kim's hanging out with Yoshimi and Julie Cafritz and realizes she's gotta write a bassline for that pesky other band of hers? There's been a wealth of happenings with the members of Sonic Youth lately, though precious little of it has to do with Sonic Youth proper.
But more about those side gigs in a minute...
Firstly, the four Yoofs managed to get together in the same room recently to collaborate with Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and composer Takehisa Kosugi on a brand new piece of music. The piece will soundtrack a new work by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company that will debut at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in mid-April, in celebration of choreographer Merce Cunningham's 90th birthday. The Merce Cunningham at 90 piece will be performed on April 16-19. (You might remember the Merce Cunningham Dance Company as being the people who brought Radiohead and Sigur Rós together back in 2003.)
So, yeah. Sonic Youth + Led Zeppelin + dancers = MASSIVE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM EXPLOSION!!!
Also, that traveling, career-spanning art exhibit, "Sonic Youth Etc.: Sensational Fix" is on display until January 4 in Bolzano, Italy. It'll move to the Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf, Germany from January 31-April 26, Konsthall in Malmo, Sweden May 29-September 6, and Centro Huarte de Arte Contemporaneo in Navarra/Nafarroa, Spain from October 2009 through January 2010.
Other than that, and presumably working on their Matador debut, Sonic Youth as a unit has been pretty quiet recently. Individually, though, they have a hell of a lot going on.
Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label recently offered up an LP from a trio comprised of saxophonist Paul Flaherty, Vampire Belt guitarist (and Thurston's partner in Northampton Wools) Bill Nace, and Thurston himself. The three-track set, Flaherty/Nace/Moore, was crafted last winter, and sports three very amusingly-titled tracks: "Sex", "Drugs" and "Lavender". Northampton Wools promise their debut LP from the label shortly, and Ecstatic Peace will also issue an album by Hat City Initiative, a group featuring Thurston and his brother Gene Moore, as well as a forthcoming collaboration between Thurston and noise god Prurient. Thurston also just issued an ultra-limited edition cassette to Destructive Industries which they call his "most encompassing and introverted work to date". We'd tell you more about it, except it is sold the hell out. Moore also recently interviewed director Spike Jonze for Interview magazine, and introduced a screening of David Bowie videos at NYC's Museum of Modern Art earlier this week.
Moving on, Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley pops up on Spanish singer Christina Rosenvinge's recent album Tu Labio Superior, which was recorded and mixed by Rather Ripped producer John Agnello at Sonic Youth's studio in Hoboken, NJ. Rosenvinge will hit the road in Spain with Shelley, Chris Brokaw, and Jeremy Wilms early next year.
SY guitarist Lee Ranaldo and photographer Leah Singer (his wife) have an art exhibit entitled "Space Within These Lines Not Dedicated" hanging at the Teaching Gallery at Troy, New York's Hudson Valley Community College through December 6. They also have two art shows scheduled for February 2009: ILoveYouIHateYou" at Magasin3 in Stockholm and "Between You & Me" at CNEAI (Centre national de l'estampe et de l'art imprim) in Paris. Ranaldo is also producing a series of three 12" singles by the French band HIFIKLUB, set to be released in 2009. And he shows up in the new documentary film FLicKeR, about artist Brion Gysin's "dream machine."

Hanbury Manor
Hanbury Manor is located in Cambridge Road, Ware, Hertfordshire. Formerly a manor house and boarding school, it is now a hotel and country club.
The first dwelling built on the property was constructed in the 16th century. The first name 'Poles' was derived from the house being at one time owned by Reginald Pole, a lay cardinal, whose mother, Margaret Pole, 8th Countess of Salisbury, was the last legitimate Plantagenet and who was later the last catholic Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Hanbury Family[edit]
During the latter half of the 18th century the Hanburys became lessees and later purchasers of Poles. The Hanbury family originally came from France, with Geoffrey De Hanbury settling in Worcestershire in the 14th century.
Sampson Hanbury (1769-1835)[edit]
Sampson Hanbury bought Poles about the year 1800. From 1799 to 1830 he was Master of the Puckeridge Hounds. Childless, he left Poles to his widow, Agatha.[1]
Robert Hanbury (1798-1884)[edit]
Robert Hanbury was senior partner in Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co. He inherited Poles on the death of his Aunt Agatha in 1847. He was a JP, a Deputy Lieutenant, and in 1854 High Sheriff of Hertfordshire.[1]
His son, also Robert Hanbury (1823–1867) (also Robert Culling Hanbury after his second marriage) died before inheriting. He too was a partner in Truman, Hanbury, Burton & Co. and from 1857 to 1867 was Member of Parliament for Middlesex.[1]
Edmund Smith Hanbury (1850-1913)[edit]
Edmund Hanbury too was a partner in the brewing company Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co from 1873,[2] from which he retired in 1886. On his grandfather's death he brought his family to live at Poles,[3] a property which, at that time, was in excess of 2,000 acres (8.1 km2). His wife, Amy, found the house to be a rambling, uninhabitable monstrosity and refused to live in it.
Architects Sir Ernest George and Harold Peto designed a replacement grand house,[4] built by Simpsons & Ayrton of Paddington in 1890-91 at a cost of £20,000. The final costs of £30,000 probably marked the beginning of the end of this branch of Hanbury in Hertfordshire. The house, built in the Jacobean style in red brick with blue brick reticulation and stone mullioned windows, was the first in the area to boast not only electricity but a central heating system.
Like his father, he became a J.P. and Deputy Lieutenant and in 1891 High Sheriff of Hertfordshire.[5] In later life, he was for two years, 1906–1909, Prime Warden of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers.[1]
A service wing and stables were added in 1913, by which time the estate had shrunk to 100 acres (0.40 km2).[3]
Robert Francis Hanbury (1883-1960)[edit]
Edmund's only son Robert Francis Hanbury, a barrister, sold Poles in 1914 to Mr. H.J. King.[1]
Poles Convent[edit]
In 1923 the house was purchased by the Faithful Companions of Jesus with the intent of establishing a convent school.[4] The house was transformed in 1934 with the addition of a gym, classrooms, dormitories, a three-storeyed tower, and a new chapel. From 1974 girls from Poles Convent progressed into the sixth form of St. Edmund's College. By the time the school closed in 1986 St. Edmund's College was fully co-educational.[6][7][8]
Notable former pupils[edit]
- Vanilla Beer, artist
- Karren Brady, sporting executive and broadcaster
- Terry Keane, journalist, mistress of Charles Haughey the Irish Taoiseach[9]
The estate was redeveloped over a three-year period by Landbase Ltd as a 5-star hotel and country club, opening in 1990 with RockResorts as the first operator.[10]
The original school block, with its gym, chapel and classrooms, formed the base for a conference and banqueting centre set around the courtyard. The chapel, now named Poles Hall, has become the main banqueting hall.
Country Club Hotel Group took over as the hotel operator in 1994,[11] and subsequently was bought out by Marriott.
The Hanbury Manor golf course was first designed by Harry Vardon in the early 1900s as a 9-hole course, and the newer (1991) 18 hole PGA course by Jack Nicklaus II.[6] The course hosted the Marks & Spencer European Open in 1996 and the English Open from 1997 to 1999.[6]
The wedding of footballer Paul and Sheryl Gascoigne took place there in 1996, with DJs Chris Evans and Danny Baker.

So in affect you are stripping off 19600 shields per second, not accounting for the base shield regeneration of your shields.
This debuff will be placed on anyone that is with in the AOE of the mines. Therefore, if placed on the whole team you will be seeing a massive shield loss.
What we haven't seen yet is a team using Gravity Well with 3 x DP3 = 14 mines x 3 = 42 mines = -29400 shield regen and a full Torpedo Spread. That would be 117600 shield loss per second. RSP won't help if they are not shooting at you.
I have been able to get my mines to -840 regen using Flow capacitor boosts.
Insulators should do a bit more against these mines, and maybe shield power level as well.
*blinks, re-reading that*...I'm a believer!...in that these need a balance pass.

It's not entirely clear what it has to do with sports or why it's up at this particular moment. But it WILL make you very emotional!

Competition Commission outlines scope of Global Radio/GMG investigation
The Competition Commission (CC) has outlined the issues its investigation into Global Radio's purchase of GMG Radio will scrutinise, including the impact of the merger on radio ad sales as well as cross-industry initiatives such as Rajar and Newslink.
Maria Miller: cleared the Global Radio/GMG deal on plurality grounds
The CC is to examine the effect of the merger on the contracted sale of national airtime by big agency groups, as well as the effect on local or smaller campaigns bought in 12 distinct areas across England, Wales and Scotland.
The investigation will also look at the effect of the merged company in regions where the two companies do not already overlap and the possibility that it could have an adverse effect on the profitability and viability of other radio stations.
However, in its assessment of harm, the CC will take into account the closeness of competition between Global, and Real and Smooth ltd (as GMG Radio is now known) prior to the merger and the competitive constraint from other media companies.
The investigation will also look at the potential effects of the merger on the ownership of the MXR Digital DAB multiplex and the possibility that Global could influence the measurement of audiences by Rajar to the detriment of other stations, through its increased ownership of RadioCentre, the commercial radio trade body.
Another issue the CC will look at is whether Global Radio might try to use its enlarged position to increase the money it gets for selling Newslink, a cross-industry pool of airtime around news bulletins and the Big Top 40 chart show.
As the Office of Fair Trading said in its report into the merger, issues such as Newslink, Rajar and MXR were raised by third parties, presumably including Bauer Media, during the early part of this process.
The CC launched its investigation into merger on the grounds of competition in October, following the culture secretary Maria Miller's decision to clear the deal on plurality grounds, as revealed by Media Week.
Interested parties have been invited to respond to the issues statement, in writing, by no later than 5pm on 10 December.
The CC is expected to publish its final report by 27 March 2013.
Global Radio agreed to buy GMG Radio in June, as first predicted by Media Week.
The local regions where the CC believes the stations of Global Radio and Real and Smooth ltd overlap include:
- Central Scotland
- Glasgow
- North Wales
- South Wales
- Cardiff
- North West
- North East
- Yorkshire
- South Yorkshire
- East Midlands
- West Midlands
- London

Mobile devices increasingly popular for banking services

More consumers are using their mobile phones and smartphones for their banking needs, according to a Federal Reserve Board survey released this week.
Twenty-eight percent of mobile phone users and 48 percent of smartphone users had used mobile banking in the 12 months prior to the survey being conducted in November 2012, up significantly from 21 percent and 42 percent in December 2011, according to the board's Survey of Consumers' Use of Mobile Financial Services.
The most common mobile banking activities were reviewing account balances, monitoring recent transactions or transferring money between accounts, the Federal Reserve Board said.
However, the report indicates that many consumers remain skeptical of the benefit of mobile banking and the level of security associated with it. More than half of mobile phone owners who don't currently use mobile banking say they'll never use the technology.
As I recently reported, banks are boosting their mobile banking efforts to attract customers and reduce expenses related to customer service calls and branch visits, a study by The Wall Street Journal showed.
