Loch Ness: Inverness: Scotland: Nesse snapped by Google Earth paparazzi?

(See What We See News and Archive; c.f. UK Telegraph (United Kingdom / British, Independent; Secular) 26 / 08 | August / 2009 ; ABC News (Secular; Independent) 28 / 08 | August / 2009)

Notation by Marc Aupiais

A Scotland local, ironically named: Jason Cooke [aha . . . note the phonetic spelling, we couldn't resist noting it, could you?] (25 years of age), who, is reportedly a security guard from Nottingham, England, has reportedly told the United Kingdom's Sun, that he has spotted what looks like Nesse, a.k.a. the "Loch Ness Monster".

Our Editor snapped a screenshot of the image in Google Earth

Differing from some who have "photographed" Nesse, Mr Cooke is not the offending party against the beloved mythical/real sea creature. Adding zest to the story, the image of "Nesse" was taken from outa space. Google, then placed this image online along with millions of kilometres of other images. Mr Cook, while doing what we all ironically do when we first get hold of Google's satellite technology, was scouting out the area around his residence, when he noticed something a bit fishy.



[At this point, our online viewers should be able to see an iframe of the current Google Maps picture of the location, our email, and facebook and rss subscribers are given a link to the page:]

In Google Earth: enter: 57.214408,-4.5706609 in the fly to box.

Whether Google somehow disrupted their technology to create a sighting, which has not been widely considered a credible conspiracy, whether it is a boat (which it does not look like), or whether it is Mr or Mrs or Miss Nesse, is for the viewer to determine for themselves.

While Google Earth images have been used by environmentalists, and others- this is the first time a mythical/real creature of the likes of Nesse has been discovered. As Nesse is probably an endangered species, this may be significant, but the environmental groups don't seem to have commented.

The first alleged sighting of Nesse was about 1500 years ago, when he/she/it allegedly ate a local farmer like fast food. Nesse has starred in multiple films, and documentaries, although whether or not the documentaries featured her has been debated.

Loch Ness: Inverness: Ecosse: Nesse cassé par des paparazzi Google Earth?

Enquête sur l'article:
Lieu de la note: le Loch Ness, Highland, Royaume-Uni

Une Ecosse locales, ironiquement nommé: Jason Cooke [aha. . . note l'orthographe phonétique, nous n'avons pas pu résister à le noter, pourriez-vous?] (25 ans), qui, serait un gardien de sécurité de Nottingham, en Angleterre, aurait dit à Sun le Royaume-Uni, qu'il a repéré ce qui ressemble à Nesse, alias le «Monstre du Loch Ness".

Notre rédacteur en chef mis fin à une capture d'écran de l'image dans Google Earth

A la différence de certains qui ont «photographié» Nesse, M. Cooke n'est pas la partie incriminée contre la créature aimée mythiques / mer réel. Ajout du piquant à l'histoire, l'image de "Nesse" a été prise depuis l'espace Outa. Google, puis mis en ligne à cette image, ainsi que des millions de kilomètres d'autres images. M. Cook, tout en faisant ce que nous faisons tous ironiquement lorsque nous attrapons la main sur la technologie satellite de Google, a été le scoutisme hors de la zone autour de sa résidence, quand il a remarqué quelque chose d'un peu risquée.

Dans Google Earth: saisir: 57.214408, -4.5706609 chez la mouche à la case.

Si Google en quelque sorte perturbé leur technologie afin de créer une observation, qui n'a pas été largement considérée comme un complot crédible, qu'il s'agisse d'un bateau (ce qui ne ressemble pas), ou si elle est à M. ou Mme ou Mlle Nesse, est pour le téléspectateur de déterminer pour eux-mêmes.

Alors que Google images de la Terre ont été utilisées par les environnementalistes et d'autres, c'est la première fois, une créature mythique et réel des émules d'Nesse a été découvert. Comme Nesse est probablement une espèce en voie de disparition, ce mai être significatif, mais les groupes environnementaux ne semblent pas avoir commenté.

L'observation prétendue première Nesse était il ya environ 1500 ans, quand il / elle aurait mangé un agriculteur local, comme la restauration rapide. Nesse a joué dans plusieurs films et documentaires, bien qu'ils soient ou non les documentaires en vedette son a été débattu.

Vatican: Pope to get (Google powered) YouTube channel- Vatican official- AP - Reuters etc

(Media Study South Africa; c.f. Reuters (Secular; British; Independent) 17 / Jan / 2009; AP (Associated Press)(American; Independent; Secular) 17 / Jan / 2009)

Article by Marc Aupiais

Pope Benedict XVI's Vatican brought out Google search for their website, which was originally brought out under his predecessor, in 1995. Now, Google, and the Vatican are collaborating again. The Vatican is due to release a YouTube channel (YouTube is wholly owned by Google), a channel, which will show videos of papal speaches: as well as present to the world: the text versions of these. Henrique de Castro, managing Director (MD) of Media Solutions, for Google, as well as Vatican Representation, according to Reuters, will be at a presentation, next Friday, of this information. YouTube, is own by Google: who were involved in a push for keeping "Gay" "Marriage" legal in California, against proposition 8.

The Vatican, like many other Catholic organizations, including the Scripturelink initiatives, of which this is one: are increasingly using Google tools, for their effectiveness. Yahoo, meanwhile: appears to have improved: drastically, their search engine, since the last use, by Scripturelink, when it was found wholly inadequate. It now, has phenomenally improved its search technology. The initiate itself involves: Google, Vatican Television Center, and Vatican Radio.

Media Study SA: Advancement of Catholic Media in Technology area:Vatican chooses Google to search, and Scripturelink launches new search engines

(MEDIA STUDY SOUTH AFRICA; c.f. Lifesitenews 19/Dec/2008; Scripturelink Search Engine 22/12/2008 (Vatican II Search engine); 22/12/2008 (Vatican/ etc Bible search); 22/12/2008(Catechism Search); __/__/__; Caritas Internationalis (discovered and emailed to us by google) 21/Dec/2008)

Article by Marc Aupiais

One of the defining features of our founding site, the Scripturelink Search Engine: was our Google search for the Vatican. Fortunately, the Vatican has now joined the search engine race: using a custom Google search engine to search their site. This according to LifeSiteNews.

Our own service, has of its own initiative, also decided to upgrade our search services: extending existing, but relatively unknown services. Vatican II can now be searched from a unique page, in 9 or ten languages, depending how many languages the Vatican has translated documents into: with the advantage of being able to search each document separately.

Further, we now search the Vatican's choice of bible, on their site, in four languages: English, Spanish, Latin, and Italian: with instructions on each: further: this search feature allows users to choose to search in one or all languages. Our Catechism, and Catechism Compendium engine mentioned below, also has this function: to search in the language you choose, out of those available.

We also now can search either the Catechism, or Catechism Compendium of the Catholic church, in all 13 languages in which one or the other are published on the Vatican site, in another new page, extending an existing small engine designed only to search the English version, then updated, and given a page on our site. We have also created Google gadgets for both our news headlines, as appearing on the sides of our sites, and a Google gadget of the Scripturelink Search engine (search for "South African Catholic" and scroll down).

Caritas Internationalis has also updated their website, unless we are picking up old Google alerts.

Basically, it seems, many Catholic sites, are advancing in technology. This is good. We do however need prayers when Google plans to transfer Pages sites into "sites", here, we may need to relaunch our entire scripturelink engine, and 15 other sites we have hosted with them: due to a lack of javascript in existing versions of "sites".

Basically, this is an issue where prayer is applicable. Radio Veritas, whom we have been in talks with, is also possibly one step closer to a license apart from their Satellite Television broadcast, again, prayers are needed: to place them on the radio waves in South Africa.

South African Catholic is a nominee for an innovation award: how other services can also be submitted to awards, and reviews

((MEDIA STUDY SOUTH AFRICA)Promotion of New Media)

Informative article by Marc Aupiais

This is not the sort of article, any service gets into the habit of writing. It is something basic, and its only purpose is to help other services get a hand up. By such an article, one promotes other services, and gives advice to help others with their own services. It does not seem professional, but is something we only justify because such things can help promote the tide of Catholic new media!

As part of "See What We See", and for personal interest, we monitor what other people are saying about us. South African Catholic was submitted to an innovation award, we will link to this nomination, and also: in aid of promoting Catholic New Media: this article will show viewers how to submit their own services to this specific award, but also how to get their services rated.

The Nomination of our service is visible here:

http://evangelization2.typepad.com/evangelization2_0/2008/12/update-catholic-new-media-and-innovation-awards.html

To get your own site nominated, in this specific award, or a site you find beneficial, email:

awards@lovetobecatholic.com

Now, this is only one of many awards, and ratings services. Obviously, if one uses a blog with some services, such as blogger or st.blogs, one is automatically submitted to search engines: and we have enough sites linking to our own service to certainly keep afloat on the world wide web: but a good way for new sites to be noticed, is via awards, and by high ratings. Yes, word of mouth helps, but having strategic links is a way to get traffic to an engine. Also, when services allow one to add a website address, it can help: especially in chat services and other such things. If a diocese has the opportunity to place a link on their site, so often, this is where allot of traffic comes from. We have even been directed to heretical sites, having been linked from user generated parts of the Johannesburg Archdiocese web service. Not that such is a good thing, but it shows that placing links aids a service.

Another service, one we have found use in: both when we discover Catholic sites which break the ranks, and in the submission of our own content: is www.catholicculture.org/ .

Visit the link http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/ to ask for a review or see other sites. The adress of the URL where you ask for a review there is:

http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/requestform.cfm

Be careful to keep your site faithful to the magisterium research everything. We often use the site of ours they reviewed: http://scripturelink.googlepages.com/search for fact checking: until you build your own engine for this: it could keep you from getting bad press from good sites: in fact, it would do allot for that. And good sites could well link to you. We ourselves may be interested in reviewing good upcoming sites.

It is here, where we were rated by the Catholic Culture for excellence in fidelity in one of our services:
http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/view.cfm?recnum=4042&repos=2&subrepos=0&searchid=375253



One need only click onto their culture section, and their reviews, to not only browse brilliant and bad sites, but also, one may request a review of their own content. We, as in : our founding service: Scripturelink Search Engine: were given a high fidelity rating from this service.

Unfortunately, while some sites we have submitted to such things, have been acclaimed, or seen in a good light, often, one gets no reply: that does not mean that one should stop attempting to do good things, or stop submitting contents.

If you have a blog, or internet or other service, our news service is always interested to hear about it. We only are able, due to being informed, by readers of our services: to report on the issues covered in Tridentine South (And Southern) Africa, because subscribers to some of our services, or their information services: inform us of these, we can verify your facts easily, or see if they are wrong. Don't send us wrong information though. Larger, or better known services: often rely on others to gain good content, and more than that: are sometimes prepared to link to your content. We have never gone out requesting links to our services: but at the same time, we have asked for reviews.

A review, whether good or not, will help your own service grow. Many improvements to the Scripturelink Search engine, come after comments on flaws, our own service at South African Catholic, often is pleased by emails: showing us any errors, or discussing where we are not clear, or may leave work open to error.

Due to our expertise, one may subscribe to emails in google groups: also, facebook, and other new media services can help. Either way, every Catholic site, which has fidelity to truth, and the papacy: is a useful addition, if no other service is fulfilled, one's links to good sites are picked up, and make them more visible. More than this, when doing apologetics, an online address is something useful to give out.

We can also help set up such services, as part of our service. If you have a group of people you desire to email, we can link an address with your blog.

If you have a google sites, or other such site, to add our search engine is easy, simply search to south african catholic, and add the "http://scripturelink.googlepages.com/" selection which is listed as a search engine.
