Hard News: Women and their representations, in reply to Dovil,
Sian Elias would have been one of my picks, but that is a list to be proud of.
I’d agree with that. Would be nice to see a few more in the arts area too. And what about our female broadcasters? Angela D'Audney, for starters.
As Lilith said, a hundred wouldn’t take long.

Hard News: Moving from frustration to disgust, in reply to Euan Mason,
I think JK actually believes that league tables ranked by shallow testing of a small subset of students’ abilities at only one point in time will really improve educational outcomes.
It's a banker's approach. The solution may come from data, but is not the data itself.

Hard News: Moving from frustration to disgust, in reply to Scott Chris,
League tables are an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of attempting to definitively describe a child’s relative academic ability.
All stick, no carrot, IMhO. Once they find out there are significant gaps, what is the policy for addressing it, and where is the funding coming from in a zero budget?

Capture: Mama Don't Take My Lytro Camera…, in reply to ChrisW,
Lytro definitely intriguing for the close-up stuff in context, but the hand-held conventional camera’s depth of field may be adequate sometimes
Or even just an iPhone.
Amazing capture Chris.

Capture: Going Walkabout in Sydney, in reply to Lilith __,
anorak?
Ano what?
We are the Mods! Fishtail fur-lined snorkel, thank you very much.
I just said that as if it was cool, didn’t I? Oh dear. Bring on the anti ageing hipster brigade.

we are all soft-as up here : )
Yeah, just the other night I was wearing my Parka over my hoodie. Just hoping nobody took any photos.

Jackson, what file format are the clickable Lytro images? They seem to use Flash in my browser…
It uses flash, but they have some proprietary stuff in there, although I'd have to look into it more to understand it.

That one would be a bit of a shock if you suffered from arachnaphobia though : )
Good point. I've added a warning. ;-)

Capture: Mama Don't Take My Lytro Camera…, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
This is where the Lytro could be nice.
Yep. Here’s one someone else prepared earlier. WARNING >> Arachnophobians may wish to think twice about clicking.

Capture: Mama Don't Take My Lytro Camera…, in reply to Jackie Clark,
This might be a really really dumb question, Jackson, but I’m assuming that the Lytro isn’t made for the night?
No, not really. Gave it try, but not worth sharing,
ETA: Here's a lower light one of a piano using indoor lighting. You can start to see the grain.
And if you click on the hill…no wait, that won’t work. ;-)
This is a problem. I keep looking at the TV and thinking ‘if only I could click on that and make it sharper’.
