			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Cameron has been defending the courts who have been handing out tough sentances to those involved in the riots. 1200 people have been seen by the courts so far and some MP&#8217;s as well as campaigners have been complaining that the sentencing has been too tough. Recently two men were jailed for four years with intent to start riots (they were not successful). One of them is now going to appeal against his sentence.</p>
<p>Cameron has said that he feels it is good the the courts are sending a tough message out to everyone. He explained that it is teh decision of the courts as to what sentences they decide on but he felt that it is was good that they felt they were able to send out a tough message.</p>
<p>It is felt that over sentencing may result in many people appealing against their sentences. However, these may not be so widely publicised as the original sentencing, which sends out a string message to anyone who is tempted to get involved in rioting or theft.</p>
<p>There has been a suggestion by the BBC legal correspondent that the courts themselves have got involved in an act of collective hysteria by giving out tough sentences together in the same way that the rioters and looters did. The public mood is that they should be made an example of and with this pressure they may get carried away. However, because they have guidelines as to what the sentence should be, then they are just sticking to those and there is no reason why they should not be tough when this country needs to do everything that it can to prevent something like this happening again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is very easy to criticise the government in light of the riots happening in the UK, but who is really to blame. Many people are trying to make assumptions about why youths might behave like this. They are saying it is despair because they feel they have a bleak future because of the lack of opportunities for them. However, can we then blame the government for this?</p>
<p>The government are cutting back on public services, but this is because the country is in a huge amount of debt. If we do not get out of debt then things will just get worse and worse for future generations and we are all suffering as a result. many of us are thinking that we are prepared to do this so that our children have a better future, but there seem to be a selection of the community who feel that they should never have to suffer. They feel they deserve to be given everything on a plate and they should not have to work for it and this is why they are walking in to shops and stealing things.</p>
<p>What should the government do about this? It is very difficult to know. We could do with giving all children a sense that they can achieve whatever they want. We should fill them with positive affirmations and a sense of ambition so they work hard to get themselves in to a better situation. Perhaps change needs to start in schools or maybe even earlier &#8211; should parents be educated in how to bring up their children so that the country can have a more positive nation?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The man who is in charge of investigating the expenses claims of MP&#8217;s has quit. This was after he refused to name those MP&#8217;s that are under suspicion as he said that he felt it was unfair to name anyone until all of the allegations against them had been proved.Â  Luke March has now resigned as compliance officer for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority who said that those under investigation should be names and the cases should be heard in public.</p>
<p>He said that he would not name them and said that there should be no publicity about those who were cleared of suspicion. He said that some cases were due to data entry mistakes by the MP in question or by his department. His letter of resignation stated that he did not feel that the job was the right role for him and that that it was with regret that he wanted to resign the post. His response from Sir Ian Kennedy, the chairman said that he knew the decision has been thought about thoroughly and that it was with regret that he accepted his resignation. Martyn Taylor will take over as acting compliance office moving from hi role as the head of governance and will be the third person to step in to the role in just over a year.</p>
<p>The role has obviously been a difficult one, with so many MP&#8217;s being found guilty of not declaring tehir expenses properly or claiming for things which they should not have done. It is obviously a stressful role and one that hopefully, the new post holder will find it to suit them better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been revealed that government departments are being ripped off by a cartel of big It fir,s. A committee of MP&#8217;s has published a report showing the evidence for this.</p>
<p>Some MP&#8217;s were paying up to ten times the commercial rate for IT equipment such as Â£3,500 for a desktop PC. The committee said that this was a huge waste of public money.</p>
<p>The government have said that they are making improvements to the way that it bought computer equipment and the current government has stopped overly expensive IT projects.</p>
<p>The committee have recommended that the MP&#8217;s use small and medium IT companies for buying tehir equipment so that they can bring down the costs. They went on to say that because many MP&#8217;s have very little IT knowledge they use contractors to do a lot of IT which is expensive and it has often meant that systems are ordered which are very over budget and late.</p>
<p>The government has warned that MP&#8217;s need to be more vigilant with IT suppliers to make sure that they are getting good value for money. They have also said that they have already put some cost cutting projects in place to help solve this problem. It seems like they need to go to a few price comparison websites before ordering hardware and software and then they would know what sort of prices they could pay for equipment. Obviously some of their items will be specialist and have to come via particular channels, but they would still have an idea of whether things were grossly overpriced or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t really follow football, but have of course taken the time to watch Englands world cup matches which has also taken me to learn a little about Fabio Capello, the present England Football manager. A lot of supporters have called for him to be sacked. Utter nonsense.<span id="more-2105"></span></p>
<p>He is (with my limited football insight and plenty of reading over the last few weeks) the best man for the job at this present momment in time, he also <strong>wants </strong>to be the football manager, there is a lot to be said about someone wanting to do a job, especially someone with his experience/background. Especially when he could leave and will be paid in full the entire duration of his contract and even possibly more (upto 10 million). Therefore, atleast in the short term, he would be better off for being removed as England manager.</p>
<p>Not sure why I&#8217;m writing about Football, just feel strong he is the right man for the job and he shouldn&#8217;t be blamed for the poor performance of the British players. Think thats about it.. fools who want him to resign, I think making a mistake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The all new Windows 7 from the outset closely resembles its predecessor. The first thing you will notice is that the Windows 7 looks and works very similar to Vista, in the sense that it has a similar infrastructure underneath.Â  However, the tech team at Microsoft have ironed out the problems and removed the majority of nuisances of Vista to create an operating system that is problem free and can be personalised to work the way you want it too.<span id="more-2080"></span></p>
<p>When developing Windows 7, Microsoft analysed data from hundreds of millions of computing sessions to find out exactly what people do with their computers and then removed or adjusted the OS to make Windows 7, faster and smoother than previous OS.</p>
<p>Windows 7 has a smaller foot print than Vista which means you need less space to install the new operating system. It works using few resources which means that it loads up and shuts down quicker than any other Windows OSÂ  &#8211; no more waiting around whilst your computer loads up!</p>
<p>In terms of the user interface Windows 7 has a few noticeable changes. The Vista sidebar has been removed and replaced by a new task bar which allows you to pin applications alongside running applications which speeds up navigation and multi-tasking.Â  If you want an interface which makes navigation easy and efficient then <a href="http://www.anthonyshapley.co.uk/buy-windows-7/">buy Windows 7</a>.</p>
<p>Windows 7 also boasts a whole array of new functions compared to the Vista OS which is made to improve user experience. Overall, I would recommend buying Windows 7 &#8211; it is smoother and easier to use than Vista and so far has proved to be a lot less buggy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft. It starts up relatively quick compared to its predecessors, drivers are pre-installed to make peripherals such as printers and scanners work with just the click of a button and it does clever things that XP, the OS most people still use, just doesnâ€™t.</p>
<p>Windows 7 is designed to work and run on a range of machines, from low spec laptops to high-powered desktops. This makes upgrading a breeze and is defiantly worth considering for those of you stuck on XP.</p>
<p>The two main features at the heart of the Windows 7 operating system isÂ  â€˜Homegroupâ€™ and a new way of viewing information. The â€˜Homegroupâ€™ function simplifies networking across a range of different technologies such as mp3 players and other computers allowing you to share movies, music and files instantly.<span id="more-2083"></span></p>
<p>The operating system has been developed to support touch screens, it has also been built to accommodate forth coming applications based around combining television and the internet â€“ ensuring Windows 7 withstands the test of time.</p>
<p>Windows 7 is a breath of fresh air for Windows users who have struggled with previous operating systems. Windows 7 feels slick and well-designed both front and back-end. New features such as â€˜Homegroupsâ€™ and advanced personalisation streamlines the process of sharing content between networks and machines.</p>
<h2>Buy Windows 7 from:</h2>
<p>&#8211; Coming Soon &#8211;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry haven&#8217;t blogged for a while (too long really) but I hope everyone is having a great Christmas and has a great 2010. As per-usual I have built myself a list but thought I&#8217;d take the time to reflect on last years resolutions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Lose weight, or at least not put anymore on. I suspect this will be a popular choice for many. <strong>I&#8217;ve lost about 14 pounds over the course of the year. Not amazing but going in the right direction.</strong></li>
<li>Make several important transitions over January/February efficiently and cost effectively as possible. <strong>I successfully changed jobs at the start of February and relocated to North Yorkshire from Devon.</strong></li>
<li>Continue to make a profit and therefore save money towards my house. I reckon Iâ€™m about halve way to a deposit! <strong>Purchased the house I wanted in November and continue to make a profit, albeit smaller than before (the recession has hit some of my clients).</strong></li>
<li>Stop drinking so much beer by switching to Wines and Spirits (not that I drink a lot). <strong>I barely touch beer and did in the early part of 2009 drink a lot of wine. I now drink virtually nothing most of the time.</strong></li>
<li>Increase my Carbon Footprint. Haha. <strong>My new car did that one.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>For 2010 my resolutions are:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Continue loosing weight towards my goal of 12 stone (presently 13.5 on last check).<br />
- No more Biscuits in Work!</li>
<li>Join a gym and start to exercise regularly</li>
<li>Grow my affiliate earnings further in the <a href="http://shapley.eu">Dating Sector</a>, giving me more financial independence.</li>
<li>Build on my Relationship with <a href="http://www.anthonyshapley.co.uk/wp-content/2009/12/6Z2T0194.jpg">Jo (Girlfriend) &amp; Oliver (her son)</a> (Photo taken by <a href="http://www.exesight.co.uk">Exesight</a>), move them in.</li>
<li>To blog on here at least every other week.</li>
<li>Decorate the upstairs of my house (2 x bedrooms &amp; bathrooom)</li>
<li>Become a better SEO for my clients &amp; myself.</li>
</ol>
<p>AnywayÂ  I hope Everyone is having a great holiday like us <img src='http://www.anthonyshapley.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this being <a href="http://owdavies.co.uk" target="_self">my</a> first post on AnthonyShapley.co.uk. I thought I might kick it off with some techy new&#8217;s. I was surfing the net and found this little gem amongst the large wealth of YouTube video&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Its the the latest HD phone in the HTC series, and perhaps one of the most innovative yet!  It wields a High Definition 4.3 Inch display, to give a fantastic viewing experience, not just for video&#8217;s but other document&#8217;s and images alike. It will also allow for fantastic web browsing. I think we are all hoping this will be a multi-touch screen, which will put it at the same level of accuracy as the Apple iPhone.  It also features a Super Fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor, current in alot of the new Acer Android phones.</p>
<p>Will this phone run Window&#8217;s Mobile 6.5 or the lastest Google Android operating system? Know one know&#8217;s. Check out this video to see this Smart phone in all its beauty:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E0f54DmA4Os&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E0f54DmA4Os&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
