By our political correspondent Nat Hunter BBC Scotlandshire executives have been unjustly accused of political bias from a number of quarters this week. It has been alleged, without any basis in fact, that the organisation has consistently favoured the Westminster government's position on Scottish independence, and that this has both skewed and stifled the political debate. Chris Patton, chairman of the BBC Trust and the last Englishman to set foot on the British Empire, has written to BBC Scotlandshire following a private meeting with First Minister Alex Salmond. Mr Patton insists that steps are taken immediately in order to remove any impression of bias in the news reporting of the organisation.
However, I also pointed out to Mr Salmond that we had received a number of complaints alleging pro-separatist bias, from a Mr Davidson of London, which clearly demonstrated that we were correctly fulfilling our role as state broadcaster. “But hey, whit can you do, eh,?” Related Articles Comments. Cisco locks customers out of their own routers, only lets them back in if they agree to being spied upon and monetized. Owners of Cisco/Linksys home routers got a nasty shock this week, when their devices automatically downloaded a new operating system, which locked out device owners. After the update, the only way to reconfigure your router was to create an account on Cisco's "cloud" service, signing up to a service agreement that gives Cisco the right to spy on your Internet use and sell its findings, and also gives them the right to disconnect you (and lock you out of your router) whenever they feel like it.

Who are you? I am a circus performer who lives in a sailboat in the northwest corner of Washington state.
Over the years I've done all sorts of things with the circus. I teach classes to children and adults in music, juggling, clowning and other things. During all my travels all over the country my music has taken me to some pretty crazy places, like when my musical comedy act involved pulling a uniformed police officer up on stage during a show. One of the things that makes me unhappy is that I cannot always go to all the places I want, to share my music with people. What are you doing with the money? I have to rent the studio time and pay the recording engineer. And then I'm going to print the CDs. OrkneyLibrary : Dear Andy Murray, we made... 0 ohm resistor.
Children warned name of first pet should contain 8 characters and a digit. Popular pet names Rover, Cheryl and Kate could be a thing of the past. Banks are now advising parents to think carefully before naming their child’s first pet. For security reasons, the chosen name should have at least eight characters, a capital letter and a digit. It should not be the same as the name of any previous pet, and must never be written down, especially on a collar as that is the first place anyone would look. Ideally, children should consider changing the name of their pet every 12 weeks.
Expectant mothers have also been advised to choose carefully where they give birth. It’s a good idea too, security experts have warned, for children not to get friendly with certain teachers.

National Sleepy Head Day (Finnish: Unikeonpäivä) is celebrated in Finland on July 27 every year.
Traditionally on this day, the last person in the house (also dubbed as the "laziest") to wake up is woken up using water, either by being thrown into a lake or the sea, or by having water thrown on them. Other traditions include Shaving the left side of the "laziest" man's chest. It is based on the story of the Saints of Ephesus who slept in a cave for some 200 years during the Middle Ages whilst hiding from persecution by Decius, the Roman Emperor at the time.[1] In the city of Naantali, a Finnish celebrity is chosen every year to be thrown in the sea from the city's port at 7 a.m. The identity of the sleeper is kept secret until the event.
