The Roman emperor Hadrian – born #onthisday in AD 76 – famously built an 80-mile-long wall in northern England.
This head comes from a statue which probably stood in London, and may have been built to commemorate Hadrian’s visit to Britain in AD 122. Although there are many marble statues of the emperor, this is a very rare bronze example to have survived from the Roman period.
It was found in the River Thames and may have been deposited for religious reasons, or removed from the body in an act of defiance. http://ow.ly/tLa430q9Zma

Some investors were hoping for much more -- a radical restructuring maybe, or plans to spin off the low-margin PC division. What they got was Apotheker's anodyne vision of an evolving IT industry, the disruptive force of cloud computing, and HP's role as a soup-to-nuts provider. "All of us need a trusted partner to navigate this new world," he said. "Who but HP could deliver this leadership?"
Later, CFO Catherine Lesjak mentioned the cloud again before boldly declaring that "HP is skating to where the puck is going," (cue eye roll) and then asking, "Who else is as well positioned as HP is? Who else has as powerful and as sustained advantages?"
