  • Reuters Partners with ITN Source to Bring Rare and Previously Unseen Historical Video Footage Back to Public View
    Reuters partners with ITN Source to bring rare and previously unseen historical video footage back to public view LONDON, 10 MARCH, 2015 – Reuters, the world’s largest international multimedia news provider, today announced a partnership with ITN Source to make historical archive footage far more accessible to producers and viewers around the world. The digitisation of the Reuters video archive is making hundreds of thousands of rare and largely unseen news clips digitally available for preview and licensing on itnsource.com, preserving this unique material for the benefit of future generations. To date, over 115,000 Reuters clips have been digitised and published on itnsource.com, expanding the Reuters digital archive to nearly half a million clips and counting. The project is set to finish in 2016. Footage being digitised consists of the Reuters News syndication service from 1957 to 2006 and earlier cinema newsreels from 1910 to 1959, including the Gaumont, Paramount and Universal collections. Material from 2006 onwards is already available in digital format. ITN Source’s experienced researchers have prioritised the digitisation of material relevant to upcoming anniversaries and events, such as the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II – featuring a substantial collection of post-war Winston Churchill footage – in addition to material in response to specific customer requests. Highlights of the most recently digitised Reuters material is available at http://www.itnsource.com/en/specials/reuters-digitisation-february-2015/ and is updated on a regular basis as new material is digitised and uploaded. Ashley Byford-Bates, Global Head of Reuters Pictures and Archive, said, “Having our assets in digital format is critical.

Given that changes in the local Hurst exponent may be due to either a time-varying range, or standard deviation, or both of these simultaneously, values for the range, standard deviation and local Hurst exponent are recorded and analyzed separately. To illustrate this approach, a high-frequency data set of the spot Australian dollar/U.S.

  • Scotland's Road Safety Framework to 2020
    Go Safe on Scotland’s Roads it’s Everyone’s Responsibility Scotland’s Road Safety Framework to 2020 Go Safe on Scotland’s Roads it’s Everyone’s Responsibility Scotland’s Road Safety Framework to 2020 The Scottish Government, Edinburgh 2009 © Crown copyright 2009 ISBN: 978-0-7559-5818-4 The Scottish Government St Andrew’s House Edinburgh EH1 3DG Produced for the Scottish Government by RR Donnelley B56793 6/09 Published by the Scottish Government, June, 2009 Any further queries relating to the Road Safety Framework should be directed to: Bus, Road Safety and Local Roads Policy Division Road Safety Team Area 2F (Dockside) Victoria Quay Edinburgh EH6 6QQ Telephone 0131 244 0848 Scottish Government/CoSLA Joint Foreword There is no doubt that excellent progress has been made towards achieving current road casualty reduction targets for 2010, set jointly with the UK Government and the Welsh Assembly. Figures for Scotland in 2007 show that the number of people killed or seriously injured was 45% below the level of the mid 1990s, the number of children killed or seriously injured was 67% below, and the slight casualty rate had declined by 35%. However, every death and every serious injury on the roads is one too many. We need to maintain the huge effort made by many people in Scotland towards making our roads safer. Indeed, we need to take stock and see what more we can do. It is for this reason that the Scottish Government initiated this Road Safety Framework for Scotland to 2020. An Expert Panel was set up to help steer the direction of this Framework and it has made an excellent contribution to the debate.

It seems such a long time since that sunny day on the 10th June 1995 in Battersea Park, when PremierSpecial Christian Radio wentM on theessage air for the first time. The journey since then has been exciting, full of both challenges and opportunities. But through it all we have been so conscious of the faithfulness of God that has led us to this day. I believe Premier stands on the brink of another amazing 20 years. The advances in technology and the ability to reach people literally wherever they are, speaks right into the heart of some of the challenges we face in the 21st century as we see the changing shape of church and the new ways people are engaging with the Christian faith. Premier indeed has an important part to play in enabling people to put faith at the heart of their daily lives and bring Christ to their communities. As we gather to give thanks to God for all He has done; I could not let today pass by without expressing our thanks to all those who have served Premier so well over the last twenty years – Directors, Trustees, members of staff, prayer intercessors and volunteers. Without such dedicated people Premier would have never been able to fulfil the vision we believe that God has given to us.
