SATS MONSTERS - Panorama

Advantages: A good insight of SATS
Disadvantages: none

...Panorama. Monday 12th May 2008. 8.30pm-9.00pm. Tested To Destruction. Vivian White reports on claims that schools in England are given too many tests. Vivian White is a former teacher and has given a honest and clear picture of views on SATS testing in England. This week is England's week for testing Y6 children using SATS. Parents of Y6 children and pupils undertaking these tests are probably feeling relieved that today is over (monday) because the first day of SATS is done. Today Science. Over the next few days they face; Literacy - reading, writing (long paper & short paper), spelling and 2 maths papers (calculator and non- calculator). I don't usually watching Education Documentaries, but after seeing how much work my colleague has put into his class (as he does ever year) in playing down the SATS, in order to stop...

Arcsoft Panorama Maker 4

Advantages: Easy to use, Affordable, High picture quality
Disadvantages: None identified

...Although I'm a fan of Photoshop for all of my post production work as a wedding photographer, nothing compares to the excellent Panorama Maker from Arcsoft when it comes to stitching sequential images together in a panorama. It's so simple to use and I would challenge anyone to see the join in the final image. My daughter was 7 when she took a series of pictures overlooking Akaroa bay in New Zealand on a small compact digital camera. We used Panorama Maker to stitch them together and I got the resultant image produced on canvas. The picture now hangs by our front door and visitors comment every time they come about the quality of the shot (taken from 5 originals). The intro version can be downloaded freely so effectively you can try before you buy. I did this with version 3 a couple of years ago and now have full versions of 3...

Tax your Brain... go on.

Advantages: Intelligent, upfront lyrics, numerous enjoyable tracks,
Disadvantages: occasionally weak instrumentals

...Braintax (AKA Joseph Christie) is a UK Hip Hop emcee best known for his individual and pseudo-political style aswell as critical lyrics and an unconventional approach to his music compared to most artist's in the same genre. He is sometimes referred to as 'Joey Brains' or 'Brando Flux' in a way similar to how Eminem is sometimes called 'Slim Shady.' Braintax has released 3 full length albums; firstly 'Biro Funk' in 2001, then this album 'Panorama' five years later. In 2008 he released a final album called 'My Best And Last Album' and announced his retirement from the hip-hop game and dispanded his record label 'Low Life Records' much to the devastation of his fans and the disappointment of the whole UK rap scene. Braintax differs from most rappers in his level of honesty. He talks about his life as how it is and any embelishment is...

Review of Panorama [Digipak] - Braintax

Emptying out my tray - II

Advantages: Makes life less dull
Disadvantages: Can effect some software

...I’ve already moaned about how much I dislike programs taking over my computer so I won’t repeat myself here. Yet once again, here is another program I quite happily put into the clock tray all off my own back. Panorama is in no way an essential program, it doesn’t make the computer run any better or increase productivity. It simply stops me getting bored. See, Panorama is a wallpaper manager – insofar as that it manages wallpaper – just in case you didn’t figure that bit out. And no people, I don’t mean wallpaper that you put on your walls, that would be using the word correctly! I’m talking about the backdrop that you can have on your computer, rather than that dull green colour. I first went searching for a wallpaper managed when I was given a bunch of FHM/Loaded style boobs ‘...

Orchestrating Music with Colourful Dialect

Advantages: Great performances of popular favourites and some rare gems
Disadvantages: Barely none, with perhaps slight issues with sound.

...'t seen this around and can't comment on it too much. As part of Deutsche Grammophon's Panorama series (cheap 2 CD collections of famous and not so famous music), the recordings are generally very good, mostly performed by top ensembles like the Berliner Philharmoniker, Boston Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestras among others, under people like Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Daniel Barenboim and Seiji Ozawa. The recordings themselves range from the early 1960s to the late 1990s and all feature clean and well-recorded sound with minimal hiss or other distracting anomalies. With this much talent involved, you can be sure there is not much to be disappointed as far as the performances are concerned. Beginning in high style by a wonderful performance of Hugo Alfvén's Swedish Rhapsody No.1, "Midsommarvaka...

All inclusive bliss!

Advantages: Clean, tidy, good food. all inclusive
Disadvantages: None

...We booked this holiday a couple of months ag, in June. We decided to go all inclusive after last year's trip to the Bahamas. It cost just over £2000 including insurance for 14 nights. On arriving in Crete (2.5 hours late due to delays at Bristol airport) it was rediculously hot - the airport in Heraklion is very small and its a bit of a battle to collect your bags and get out of the arrivals hall. As you walk out you are accosted by the heat and, across the road are a number of "huts" which iswhere you'll find the travel reps. We were loaded onto a coach by our rep Jodie (who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable - even though she looked about 16 years old!). First stop was our hotel, the Creta Panorama and Creta Mare, after a 50 minute journey. There are actually three hotels here 3km from Panormo and 15km from Rethymno. The Creta...

Fingerprints Good evidence or not

Advantages: Excellent eyeopener into our evidence system
Disadvantages: It is frighteneing to think of the repercussions these mistakes could have.

...After watching last weeks Panorama on fingerprint evidence it became quite clear to me that we have a problem with the gathering of our evidence for criminal purposes. For years fingerprinting has been an excellent method of proving where a person was at a certain time. It is only since the introduction of DNA, forensic testing that fingerprinting has taken a back seat in evidence. However, fingerprints were still considered as good evidence in court. I mean if your fingerprint was at the scene of a crime then surely you must have been there? Not the case as Panorama showed last week. The programme opened with a story of a policewoman whose fingerprint had been at found at the scene of a murder. All was well as the police assumed she had attended the house on duty. However, the woman swore that she had never been near...

Crete Hot September Sun

Advantages: In Chania, Can upgrade to Blue Wing, On a major Bus route, Fab Pool
Disadvantages: Bit outside city centre and away from beaches

...It is a long time since I was on a package holiday, having had so many historically poor experiences. It was a real pleasure to recast this mold when I travelled to Crete and stayed at the Panorama Hotel in Chania. We originally choose the resort and then the hotel. The locals drop the C and call it Hania is an amazing city. The Italian influence is every where, alongside the Greek and Turkish influences. The city is a melting pot of blending cultures, and the traveler who explores it has the pleasure of a rich experience. The Panorama hotel, is a modern hotel and is located along the coast from the city centre. It was very clean and comfortable. The airconditioning was working!!! The main downside I suppose is that it is not close to any nice beaches. But it is quiet and has a fantastic salt water swiming pool. We...
