Thirteen not unlucky for the long-running BBC sci-fi show.
|
Jodie Whittaker made history on Sunday, becoming the first woman to play the lead role in Doctor Who in its 55-year history.
|
But any expected backlash against changing the gender of the Doctor, played solely by men since the series began in 1963, was barely visible on social media or from fans. The overwhelming response was positive, indicating that the decision by showrunner Chris Chibnall was the correct one to make.
|
Even before it had begun airing in a simulcast in various territories around the world earlier Sunday, including BBC America, Doctor Who was trending at the top spot on Twitter and remained there for the remainder of the installment.
|
A rarity in the show’s history, the episode was almost a soft reboot, having been made by a completely new production team with a brand new cast. The episode in question, “The Woman Who Fell to Earth,” was an hourlong special introducing audiences to the 13th Doctor, played by Whittaker.
|
“It’s About Time!” boasted the promotional tagline, and it seems, across the board, that everyone has embraced this new era highlighting its cinematography, accents, humor and Whittaker’s performance.
|
“Dr. Who was a triumph. A brilliant reinvention in so many ways and Jodie Whittaker is superb,” was the verdict of Brit comic Chris Addison, a director on Veep and star of both The Thick of It and In the Loop.

|
Even British politicians got in on the Whovian love. “‘Swiss army sonic with a touch of Sheffield steel’ Excellent,” MP Yvette Cooper enthused, referring to the Doctor’s choice of accessory and northern English location.
|
“Woowho all the way! an absolutely brilliant new series on every level edge of sofa totally immersed ! JodieWhitaker gave it to us with both hearts & the whole team made me one very happy old companion knew DW wouldnt let us down,” wrote actress Katy Manning, who played Doctor Who companion Jo Grant in the 1970s.
|
“Oooooh new #DrWho is good and scary,” wrote former TARDIS traveller Janet Fielding, who played '80s companion Tegan.
|
“A complete beautiful reinvention of #DoctorWho So relatable, down to earth, with such character and sense of place. A great new Doctor too. And we immediately love all her friends. Drama, scares and comedy for all the family. Brilliant,” writer Paul Cornell, who penned two stories for the show in the 2000s, tweeted.
|
Fan sites, well known for passionate responses to change — in both positive and negative manners — have come out firmly on the side of Whittaker.
|
“Jodie Whittaker is truly everything that is the Doctor, and everything you want to see from a Doctor in their first episode,” was the effusive response from The Time Ladies website.
|
Blogtor Who, established in 2008, was another fan site to heap praise.
|
“Once she steps out in her new costume and with her beaming smile, there is no question that Whittaker is perfect for the role,” wrote its reviewer.
|
“Whittaker owns the role before you see her speak and her combination of chirpy and joyously erratic tempered with Sheffield Steel (literally, not a metaphor) is a delight,” gushed genre website, Sci-Fi Bulletin.
|
Doctor Who is a BBC Studios production for BBC One and a BBC America co-production.

Timing is everything in life and on Facebook. Consider drafting an annual editorial calendar with key dates and anniversaries to ensure your posts are relevant to the news of the day.
|
For example, the Super Bowl, the beginning of school and the holidays are things that generate a lot of interest and discussion. Craft compelling posts around these dates to help ensure a lively dialogue.
|
Be mindful that fan pages that post to Facebook via certain third-party applications, such as HootSuite and Twitter, receive 70 percent fewer likes and comments.
|
Until Facebook levels the playing field for placement of posts in news feeds, you’ll need to either post manually or use a preferred Facebook application, such as Buddy Media.
|
Review a complete list of preferred Facebook developers here.
|
Constantly review the quality of posts with an editor’s eye. Is your content always about you? Keep you posts varied and ask questions of your community to engage them on different topics.
|
Consider an informal poll of your community to get ideas. Or share a link to a news item that might benefit your readership.
|
Buddy Media found that posts with 80 characters or less receive higher engagement, 27 percent higher engagement to be exact. The numbers are even higher for retailers.
|
In a report released this week that studied some of the world’s largest retailers, posts of 80 characters or less received 66 percent more engagement, with an 8 percent spike in traffic on Wednesdays.
|
Links by themselves don’t generate clicks. Spice it up if you want to draw more readers.
|
Keep your links lively with engaging headlines, witty commentary or questions that hit upon emotions, and captivating images.
|
Readers, do you have any tips for keeping Facebook posts interesting?

The young Whanganui football player James Musa has been signed by the Wellington Phoenix as one of the club's under-21 players.
|
The 18-year-old defender joins the Phoenix for next season in what is his first contract as a professional player.
|
Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert had the opportunity to assess Musa's ability when he spent six weeks training with the Phoenix last season.
|
All A-League squads have to have a minimum of three under-21 players. The addition of Musa means they now have two with Marco Rojas.

CANARIES’ hopes of a glamour home tie against Mansfield in the fourth qualifying round of the FA cup were dashed in the last 13 minutes at Borough Park in Tuesday night’s replay, writes Merv Nash.
|
However Workington were made to battle all the way to avoid an upset against Barwell who are in a league lower.
|
In the opening throws, Barwell gave as good as they got and posed many problems to the Workington defence. Early on Tom Bates had a fierce free kick deflected wide and Dan Wordsworth made a vital clearance from a Luke Barlone cross with Paul Spacey waiting to cash in on the far post.
|
At the other end Workington’s captain Mark Boyd struck a low free kick which was well held at full stretch by Liam Castle. The nearest to a goal in the first half came when Spacey placed a drive wide of the home keeper but the ball struck the post and bounced out.
|
The same player then sped clear of the Workington defence but fired high over the bar.
|
At the start of the second half, Workington came out much more direct and full back Niall Cowperthwaite struck a drive on the run that Castle was equal to, diving to smoother the ball. At the other end on 67 minutes Barwell almost made the breakthrough, substitute Tom Weale battling his way past three defenders before shooting inches wide of the far post.
|
The tide turned in Workington’s favour in the 77th minute when Jordan Connorton looking suspiciously off-side ran through the middle to slot the ball past Castle.
|
From that point the energy seemed to drain from Barwell who were faced with a mountainous recovery task.
|
In the final minute Workington sewed the game up with a second goal, a low cross by substitute Jonny White found fellow substitute Jake Simpson who fired into the empty net.

A simple hanging lamp is not complex.

4 What Wires Go to What When Hooking Up a Light Fixture?
|
Replacing a ceiling lamp or light fixture with an older lamp is a good way to instantly add a vintage or antique feel to a room. Older lamps often cost less than new ones, as well. Unfortunately, the wires in an older lamp can present a fire hazard. With a few tools, you can rewire a hanging lamp and install it yourself. For a simple single light, rewiring a lamp is not difficult, as long as you take all proper safety precautions.
|
Measure the entire length of your lamp, including any chain or tubing. Your wire must be at least six inches longer than this measurement. You can cut excess wire off when you're finished, but a wire that is too short will be difficult to work with.
|
Take your hanging lamp apart. The designs of light fixtures vary depending on the age and style of the lamp, but a typical lamp will have a globe, a socket, a holder for the globe, tubing or chain to suspend the globe, and a canopy, which conceals the wires. At the end of the tubing or chain, you will most likely see a small, hollow piece of metal with threading inside. This is called a hickey and will hold the lamp to the ceiling. You should be able to take apart the entire lamp with a screwdriver. Keep track of all the parts and take photos of your progress if you think that you may have trouble putting it back together.
|
Discard the old wire. Measure the old lamp socket and purchase a new one that's the same size.
|
Strip about an inch of the casing material from both ends of an 18-gauge strand of lamp wire. Lamp wire is composed of two wires that are side-by-side: a neutral wire and a hot wire. Measure down several inches from where you stripped the wire on either end, then split the wire down the middle to this point on both ends. Leave the casing intact along the split.
|
Identify the neutral wire. The neutral wire should be indicated by markings or by a raised ridge. You can feel the ridges with your fingers. Wrap this wire clockwise around the silver-colored screw in your socket. The other wire without markings is the hot wire; wrap it clockwise around the brass-colored screw. Gently tighten both screws to hold the wires in place. The socket will rest against the inside of the globe holder.
|
Thread the other end of the wire through your globe holder, chain or tubing and canopy, which will be attached to the ceiling. Screw the hickey onto the end of your chain or tubing, but don't thread the wire through it. Don't attach the globe yet. The canopy should be loose on the chain or tube.
|
Turn the overhead light where you will install the lamp off using the switch on the wall. Then turn off the electricity to the overhead light off by turning off your circuit breaker or removing a fuse, depending upon your situation. This is extremely important; you may injure yourself if there is any electricity running to the overhead light. Use a circuit tester to ensure that there are no live wires.
|
Remove the current fixture. Again, the exact design of your fixture will vary somewhat. Remove the bulb and globe first, then unscrew the canopy. Unscrew the wire nuts to disconnect the wires between the old fixture and the ceiling. You may need someone to hold the current fixture, as it's unsafe to let it hang from the wiring.
|
Examine the outlet box. There should be a metal strap across the box. This holds the fixture to the ceiling. Typically, you will see a threaded piece of metal protruding from the middle. Screw the hickey onto this piece. The socket, globe holder and rod or chain will be attached securely to the ceiling at this point.
|
Press the bare end of the neutral lamp wire to the bare end of the white wire in your ceiling. Screw them together with a wiring nut. Repeat with the hot wire and the black wire in the ceiling.
|
Attach the canopy to the ceiling. Typically, you will attach the canopy to the strap with screws or secure it in place by tightening a locknut that is located below the canopy.
|
Replace the bulb and globe and turn your circuit breaker back on or replace the fuse. Test the new lamp by turning on the wall switch.
|
Check with your local building codes to find out if there are any extra steps that you should take when rewiring a hanging lamp.

The software maker introduces a version of Linux aimed at enterprise customers, hoping to move the open-source software beyond servers and low-cost PCs.
|
Open-source software seller SuSE released on Monday a new desktop version of the Linux operating system aimed at corporate buyers.
|
SuSE Linux Desktop is built to integrate easily with existing hardware and software, the German company said, making it feasible for organizations to use Linux on PC desktops.
|
"We believe this is the product that will bring Linux to enterprise desktops across the whole world," said SuSE CEO Richard Seibt.
|
While Linux has made substantial inroads on servers--large computing systems used for complex tasks such as dishing out Web pages--the open-source operating system has yet to make substantial inroads on desktop PCs. To date, desktop Linux installations have been concentrated among tech-savvy individuals and low-end consumer systems such as those sold by Wal-Mart Stores, with businesses sticking to Microsoft's familiar Windows operating system.
|
Corporate and government buyers have begun to experiment with the open-source operating system, however, as evidenced by last week's announcement by the German city of Munich that it will replace Windows for 14,000 city PCs with Linux.
|
SuSE hopes to accelerate Linux desktop growth with the new product, which focuses on corporate concerns such as support and compatibility with existing systems. SuSE Linux Desktop comes with a standard one-year maintenance plan and includes CodeWeavers CrossOver Office 2.0 to allow the operating system to work with Microsoft's Office software package.
|
Dan Kusnetzky, a system-software analyst with market researcher IDC, said that companies with a large number of transactional workers--those people who don't like computers and use them only for specific applications--are likely to become new SuSE customers.
|
"They don't care what the operating system (is)," he said. "This group will run whatever is given to them, and as long as they can access the application or the client that lets them access the application, they will use it."
|
Moreover, Microsoft's software licensing program has irked many enterprises, leaving many companies looking for alternatives, he said.
|
"SuSE has an uphill climb, but once companies consider the system, there is a chance for broader adoption when licenses with Microsoft expire," he said.
|
On Monday, Linux software maker Ximian also released its latest product, a package for desktop PCs. Unlike SuSE, the company focuses on desktop software that runs on top of several different versions of Linux. In addition, it sells a service that delivers the latest software updates for those versions of Linux.
|
The CrossOver Office software in SuSE's package adds a translation layer between Microsoft's Office software and the Linux system, enabling the applications to run. Jeremy White, a developer with CodeWeavers, said that companies are increasingly considering adopting the software to ease the move to Linux for some of their workers.
|
"When we originally came out (with the software) a year ago, we sold just to enthusiasts," he said. "Now we are getting enterprise deals as well."
|
About 10 percent to 20 percent of the employees that switch to Linux need the Windows compatibility offered by CrossOver Office, he said. While White hopes that the SuSE deal will work to boost sales of the software, he worried that CodeWeavers' other advantages will get lost in the shuffle.
|
"This partnership gives enterprise customers access to CrossOver Office, which is cool," he said. "Hopefully, customers will also value the ability to easily take advantage of some additional enterprise services and products we have."
|
Hardware makers announcing support for the new SuSE initiative include IBM and Hewlett-Packard. IBM's A31 and T40 ThinkPad laptops and NetVista desktop PCs have already been certified as compatible with SuSE Linux Desktop.
|
SuSE will sell the software in a package priced at $598, which includes an installation kit and a year of support for up to five PCs.

Kylie Jenner Goes Platinum Blonde, Follows in Her Sisters' Footsteps: See the Pics!
|
Kylie Jenner is the latest in the Kardashian-Jenner clan to go platinum blonde! The 19-year-old cosmetics queen took to Snapchat on Sunday night, posting videos of herself getting the extreme dye job.
|
Kylie sported the dog filter while posing with her bright new tresses. She appeared to be on the set of a photo shoot, goofing off with her longtime pal Jordyn Woods.
|
Kylie certainly isn’t the first of her famous family to go blonde. Just last week her older sister, Kim Kardashian, showed off some long platinum locks while visiting an exhibit for Kanye West’s “Famous” music video.
|
Khloe Kardashian has also been blonde for quite some time, keeping her golden hair looking luscious at all lengths.
|
But it looks like it was eldest sister, Kourtney Kardashian, who inspired Kylie’s dramatic change.
|
Kourt recently shared a major throwback pic of her platinum blonde hair from when she was a teenager.
|
"I found this picture of me when I was 16 -- and it brought back so many memories from this era!” Kourt wrote on her app. “Between the lip liner, pencil-thin eyebrows and the white hair, I guess I really embraced the '90s trends back in the day!"

It can sometimes be dangerous if a mediator isn't present during a child custody exchange. The San Angelo Police Department is developing a way to address that.
|
SAN ANGELO – It can sometimes be dangerous if a mediator isn't present during a child custody exchange.
|
To address that, the San Angelo Police Department will open a "safe exchange zone" — with designated parking spots for child custody and online exchanges — on July 20, 2018, at SAPD headquarters, 401 E. Beauregard Ave.
|
Derick Lancaster, family and criminal law attorney for Skinner Law Firm in San Angelo, said the zone is absolutely necessary.
