Montacute House was used to film the BBC adaption of Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.

Ron of Shi Ryu Doh in Tokyo, and his gear. I was completely satisfied with his safety precautions. He showed me the needle in its unbroken sterile pack. Every bottle was covered, with only a time bit of the spout exposed. Everything else was covered with fresh plastic, and he wore gloves.
Second attempt at paper piecing -- inspired by lucyellen06's bitty blocks here. I love those little gnomes! Mine and Lucinda's are both from a template here.
He's 3.5 inches square, just like Lucinda's. I want to add him in with my woodland bitty blocks -- I'm not in group 1, for which she made her gnomes.
This is an example of a tweet syndicated from a news feed of BBC headlines - dated October 2008, when the Twitter account was being run by an impostor.
This, along with the graphics, gave the account an appearance of authenticity.
But the holder of the account could have sent any arbitrary message on behalf of the BBC.
It would also be possible to combine any RSS feed from anywhere into the legitimate feed using an aggregation tool (such as Yahoo Pipes). This would allow phishing scams and other nasty deception to take place.
Lesson - if you're a company which values your reputation, you should take control of your brand on Twitter. Unfortunately, the onus is largely on you to check this and complain to Twitter Inc if you spot it.
