Q&A is an Australian television panel discussion program, broadcast on ABC hosted by news journalist Tony Jones. The show usually broadcasts on Monday nights at 9:35, and has run since 2008. Its format is similar to Question Time on the BBC and Questions and Answers on RTÉ.
The program generally features a panel of five public figures, usually including politicians from each of the major federal parties (Labor and Liberal) as well as minor party politicians, media personalities, academics and celebrities, answering questions provided by viewers and the studio audience. On occasion, the show features a sole notable individual, such as the Prime Minister or Leader of the Opposition. The program is broadcast live (in the eastern states) on ABC TV and online, in front of a studio audience. From October 2010, Q&A is also simulcast live on ABC News 24, allowing it to be viewed live across the country.[1] In March 2015 ABC News 24 ceased simulcast of Q&A. When Federal Parliament isn't sitting, the show can be heard on ABC NewsRadio.
The program is usually broadcast from the ABC's studios in the Sydney suburb of Ultimo, but is often broadcast from various Australian metropolitan and rural centres. Audience participation is a key aspect of the program, with producers selecting members who represent "a diverse and well-balanced" group.[2] Q&A is occasionally broadcast from other cities, with three shows being broadcast from other countries (Indonesia, India and China).
The program premiered on Thursday, 22 May 2008, at 9:30 pm on ABC TV. The program contains closed captions within its broadcast signal.
In 2010, Q&A moved to Monday nights and received a full season of 40 episodes.[3] From 26 April 2010, Q&A introduced a Twitter feed; selected tweets discussing Q&A live are displayed on screen.[4]
Tom Ballard, Virginia Trioli and Annabel Crabb have filled in for Tony Jones whilst he was on breaks.
Notable episodes[edit]
On 25 October 2010, former Prime Minister John Howard had a pair of shoes thrown at him from a member of the audience due to responses on his attitude to the Iraq War. The shoe-thrower was subsequently removed from the audience. Although Howard seemed indifferent to the incident, it was criticised by both Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, among other members of Parliament from both the Government and the Opposition. The shoe-thrower, environmental activist Peter Gray, died of cancer six months later; before he died, however, he asked for his shoes to be auctioned off and the money to be donated to the Red Cross.[5][6]
University student protest[edit]
The show was disrupted on 5 May 2014, when a group of university students began protesting against proposed higher education cuts. The group unfurled a banner over the back of the set and began to chant at Minister for Education Christopher Pyne, before they were removed from the studio while the live broadcast was replaced with footage of a musical performance from an earlier episode. In the lead-up to the protest, Pyne was the subject of several questions regarding education cuts and was heckled by members of the Socialist Alternative.[7]
Zaky Mallah incident[edit]
Controversy ensued following the 22 June 2015 episode when Zaky Mallah, an audience member, posed a question to Parliamentary secretary Steven Ciobo.[8] Mallah was found not guilty of terrorism offences in 2005,[9] and was known to Q&A's editorial team, attending three shows as an audience member since 2011, and twice being rejected as a panel member.[10][11][12]
In his pre-approved question, Mallah asked Ciobo about the possible outcome of his case if it had been heard by a government minister instead of the Supreme Court.[13] Ciobo defended the government's position, saying he would be personally pleased if it meant Mallah was out of the country. Mallah later was directed to respond, saying "The Liberals now have just justified to many Australian Muslims in the community tonight to leave and go to Syria and join ISIS because of ministers like him."[14] Tony Jones ruled the comment out of order, and Mallah later clarified in a piece on Comment is free that he "hates ISIS" and his comments were misinterpreted.[15]
Prime Minister Tony Abbott condemned the ABC for "giving Mallah a platform," asking "Which side is the ABC on?" and saying that they had "betrayed" Australia[16][17] and that "heads should roll".[18] He banned members of his Front Bench appearing on the program,[19] later offering to permit them if the show was the ABC's Television section to News and Current Affairs.[20] The ABC moved forward their plans to move the program, which an ABC source characterised as "the biggest example of editorial interference I've ever heard of".[21]
The ABC released a statement apologising for including Mallah on a live event,[22] and the ABC board appointed Shaun Brown and Ray Martin to audit Q&A,[23] and issued a formal warning to Q&A executive producer Peter McEvoy.[24] Martin, a veteran journalist, said that some critics of the program needed "a good lie down."[25] ABC director Mark Scott conceded the producers had erred putting Mallah on live television, but defended the independence of the ABC's editorial decisions[26] and argued there is merit in platforming "views that run contrary to accepted public values" in order to "understand the root cause" of alarming actions.[27]
Substantially negative coverage of the ABC's conduct appeared in News Corporation owned papers, with some changing the ISIL flag to an ABC logo.[28][29] The Daily Telegraph ran the headline "ABC doing the devil's work...".[30] The Australian said "ABC exists in a parallel universe where impartiality and sound judgment are all but redundant".[31]
Other commentators have defended the ABC. Peter Greste said that Tony Abbott attempted to shut down debate in a crucial area of policy.[32] Johnathan Holmes said that Malcolm Turnbull's portrayal of Zaky Mallah and his views is profoundly misleading, and that Q&A has been prevented from defending itself.[33] Richard Ackland has suggested that "the hysteria over Zaky Mallah on Q&A would make Joseph McCarthy proud".[34] In November 2015, Q&A's host Tony Jones said the Zaky Mallah furore and boycott was based on a 'big lie' [that Mallah supported ISIS].[35]
Twittergate qanda[edit]
Not long after Zaky Mallah's session, the twitter feed for Q&A, showing posts with the hashtag #qanda accidentally let a tweet screen that ran "i prefer ones twitter feed to their biographies" from someone running under the username @AbbottLovesAnal, creating a huge uproar, with some commentators suggesting that the ABC needs to reign Q&A in.[36][37][38]
Duncan Storrar[edit]
Duncan Storrar asked assistant government minister Kelly O'Dwyer a question on tax-free thresholds, asking why poorer people were not receiving similar tax relief from the Coalition government. He quickly gained widespread support as an embodiment for the 'battling Aussie'. The publicity from his question caused various media outlets to cover his life, with some outlets publishing allegations that he was a drug addict and that he had previously failed to care for his family. Storrar became traumatised as a result of his harsh media treatment.[39][40][41] A crowdfunding campaign was started to buy him a new toaster, which played on O'Dwyer's seemingly out of touch remarks of depreciation treatment for small business, namely cafes.[42]
Yassmin Abdel-Magied[edit]
In February 2017 Abdel-Magied was a panelist on the ABC Q&A program where she defended Sharia Law against Jacqui Lambie who's against it, arguing that women are treated well in Islam with Islam being, "the most feminist" of all religions.[43] On the same program, Abdel-Magied stated in response to another panelist, Jacqui Lambie, that Sharia law is as simple as "me praying five times day," and that it says in Islam, "you follow the law of the land on which you are on".[43] Some Islamic scholars[who?] have disputed this saying, "they must comply with the laws of their country of residence without, at the same time, disobeying Islamic law."[44][citation needed] Following her appearance on ABC Q&A Abdel-Magied asked Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Wassim Doureihi, "how can I do better in the future inshallah?"[45][46]
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has responded to the claims made by Abdel-Magied on Sharia law and women in Islam.[47]
A change.org petition criticising her gained tens of thousands of signature.
The Q&A program has been criticised by some News Corp Australia papers in a long running and widespread campaign against ABC management and programming for being overtly left wing in the views expressed by its guest panellists, the nature of the questions asked by audience members and the failure to disclose identity and/or political affiliations that some audience members asking questions of the panellists may hold. Criticism has been made in particular that the program presents "a distorted view of Australia".[48] During an episode aired on 9 April 2014, guest panellist Aboriginal academic Marcia Langton claimed Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt had abused a fair skinned indigenous woman and that he was a "fool who believed in race theories".[49] The host Tony Jones made an apology at the end of the following week's episode of Q&A in which he relayed that "Professor Langton publicly said that she does not believe Mr Bolt is a racist, although she profoundly disagrees with and disapproves of his views and statements on Aboriginality. She apologised to him for her comments and, as a result, the ABC also apologises for broadcasting her remarks."[50]
David Marr said in 2015 "The ABC has only created a handful of great shows in recent years and Q&A is one of them."[51]

Join our mission to make biking safer
Incentivising employees to ride their bicycle benefits both the employer and employee alike. It's not only good for the environment; studies have shown riding your bike can increase worker health, reduce cardiovascular risk and increase mental health to name a few. It has also been shown to lead to 15% fewer days off, 27% fewer task errors and a 15% increase in productivity (Source). Not to mention it's fun!
Many, many more health stats via People for Bikes (Health Stats).
Our mission at Revolights is to get people on their bike by creating products that provide better and safer options for daily and nightly commuters.
"When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the human race." - H.G. Wells
In spite of all the benefits, employee ridership can still be quite low with employees choosing to drive citing reasons like weather, traffic, and having to ride at night.
We created Revolights to get people on their bikes by helping riders feel safe and ensuring they're visible in all road conditions. We started the Revolights Corporate Program to help companies bring our better lighting products to their employees!
THE Details
Corporate Programs we offer
We match a company's contribution with our own to provide an incredible discount to the employee through our Corporate Programs portal. We pioneered this very successful program with Genentech, outfitting over 150 employees! For local companies we then schedule an "Installation Day" where we deliver the sets in our Revolights Mobile Shop and offer free installation for employees.
Working with companies like Salesforce and REI we are able to offer employees the ability to purchase our lights at wholesale pricing, either through their own company wide network, our Corporate Programs portal or using company specific discount codes..
We understand that there are different needs for each company and we love coming up with new unique ideas to make bike safety a priority. From hosting bike safety fairs to customizing a fleet of campus bikes, we can customize a program that best fits your needs.

Rich Peverley's contributions on second line make extension a no-brainer
|10.11.11 at 2:36 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Rich Peverley's presence on the second line has paid off through three games, and Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli rewarded him Tuesday with a three-year deal worth a reported $9.75 million.
Through three games, Peverley leads the Bruins with two goals, while Brad Marchand's three points (a goal and two assists) ties him with Tyler Seguin for the team lead. With the top line struggling out of the gate, the second line of Peverley, Marchand and center Patrice Bergeron has done enough early on to make the Bruins secure Peverley's services for three years after his current deal expires.
"He's a great player. I really like playing with him," Marchand said Tuesday of Peverley. "He's very fast, very quick and great with the puck. I think our line is starting to jell a little more every day. Hopefully we can continue to build and create more opportunities each game.
Peverley had tough shoes to fill when he jumped on the second line in place of the retired Mark Recchi. The former Predator and Thrasher first began seeing time with Marchand and Bergeron in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals last season and was reunited with the the other two during the preseason.
What Peverley brings, aside from his obvious weapon of speed, is an ability to get pucks on net, which at times was an area of weakness for the Bruins last season. He totaled 201 shots last season between Atlanta and Boston, which would have ranked second amongst Bruins forwards and third overall on the team (Zdeno Chara led the team with 264, with Bergeron having 211) had he played the whole season with the team.
"He's a versatile player. He can play any of the three forward positions," Chiarelli said of Peverley. "He brings them speed. I'm not taking anything away from Rex, but he's a little faster than Rex. He shoots the pucks and he digs out pucks, and when he needs to, he'll go to those dirtier areas. That's what I really noticed about him last year in the drive to the Cup. He would sacrifice his body and go to those areas and not always win the puck, but he was willing to go there."
Chiarelli said Tuesday that he had envisioned Peverley as a possible top-six forward when the team acquired him from the Thrashers, and that he hasn't been surprised by his contributions with Marchand and Bergeron thus far.
"Sometimes there's a fine line between the top six and the top seven or eight," Chiarelli said. "We always felt that he was in that mix before we got him. We liked the way that he fit into our group. It doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be in our top six so to speak for the rest of the year, but I like to think of our [top] three lines as three equal lines. I like his speed, I like his grit for his skill package. He's got a terrific shot. I like the way his speed backs off the D. It made us a faster team."
Regardless of whether he sticks on that second line for the season, he's certainly helping it now.
"They're aggressive with and without the puck," Chiarelli said. "He's a good fit on that line."
Why a chip on Rich Peverley's shoulder made him money with the Bruins
|10.11.11 at 1:57 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Next season, Rich Peverley will carry a heavier price-tag than he's had in his career. Coming off a two-year deal with an annual cap hit of less than $1.5 million, Peverley's salary will more than double, as he will cost the Bruins $9.75 million over the next three years.
That doesn't mean he's always been a big name. Peverley has gone from an undrafted college player to an ECHL player to a guy who was waived by the Predators. Now with his third team and 29 years of age, Peverley seems poised to put up career-best numbers as a top-six forward on the defending Stanley Cup champions.
"He's one of those guys that really blossomed later in his career so that helped when we got him but he's a player that, I think he continues to have offensive upside to his game and some players mature a little bit later," B's general manager Peter Chiarelli said. "I think we got another one in that in Dennis Seidenberg. I think he matured a little bit later in his career so you just have to recognize that and then make decisions based on that."
After graduating from St. Lawrence University, in 2005, Peverley played in the ECHL as a member of te south South Carolina Stingrays. H, where he scored 30 goals in 69 games. He played one game in Portland that season, his first AHL action, before spending the next two seasons between the ECHL and AHL. He signed his first NHL contract with the Predators, where he played sparingly in parts of three seasons before being waived in 2009 and claimed by the Thrashers. He came to Boston last year in the deal that send Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart to Atlanta.
Peverley revealed Tuesday that his thought process throughout his years working his way up wasn't to get the NHL at all costs, but to just get to the next level. He's reached the highest level now, and after establishing himself as a major contributor to the league's best team last season (he played on the first line in place of the concussed Nathan Horton in the Stanley Cup finals), he hopes there's even more he can accomplish.
"I've always said this: I think that you start in the minors and you don't really have your eyes set on the NHL," Peverley said. "I think I've always taken it one step at a time. I wanted to be in the American [Hockey] League, be a good player there. Once I got to the American League, the NHL was that much closer. You want to get to [NHL] and you want to be a better player in the [NHL]. It's just one step at a time."
While that line of thinking is hard to believe for an undrafted player coming out of St. Lawrence, Peverley can thank it for his success. Even so, for a player who was told by the league that he wasn't good enough and then later put on waivers by the Predators, he can also thank a pretty big chip on his shoulder that he developed.
"Absolutely," Peverley said when asked whether he's had a chip on his shoulder. "There's teams that get rid of you, and there's teams that have no interest. You want to prove people wrong. You see that every year. Guys are on waivers, guys get traded. They want to prove people wrong. There's nothing wrong with that. It's a good motivational tool."
Bruins might have to shake up lines as David Krejci leaves practice with undisclosed injury
|10.11.11 at 1:13 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins took the ice with their normal lines Tuesday, a sign that they aren't interested in shaking things up after a 1-2-0 start, but after first-line center David Krejci left Tuesday's practice at Ristuccia Arena with an undisclosed injury, they might have to.
Members of the media did not see the injury, as it came during Peter Chiarelli's press conference following the signing of forward Rich Peverley. The Bruins did not offer much on the status of Krejci, who was said to have left the ice in apparent pain.
"I don't know," coach Claude Julien said of the injury. "I can't really tell you the severity of it right now. He's being looked at. I can probably give you more this afternoon when we find out more."
Asked whether it was an upper-body or lower-body or injury, Julien said it was a "body" injury. He did not know whether Krejci would travel with the team to Carolina on Tuesday.
"I don't know yet. I haven't really had a chat yet," he said. "If he doesn't he'll be behind and get checked out. I don't know how severe it is right now."
Bruins preparing for two-game road trip
|10.11.11 at 11:24 am ET
WILMINGTON — After being shut out by the Avalanche Monday at TD Garden, the Bruins returned to practice Tuesday at Ristuccia Arena in anticipation of their first road trip of the season.
Though the top trio of Milan Lucic, David Krejci and Nathan Horton has struggled, the color-coded lines looked the same for the Bruins, with both Benoit Pouliot and Jordan Caron wearing grey (third-line) jerseys with Tyler Seguin and Chris Kelly. The B's will play in Carolina Wednesday before facing the Blackhawks Saturday in a meeting of the last two Stanley Cup champions.
Peverley gets Rich with three-year extension
|10.11.11 at 10:44 am ET
The Bruins took care of their biggest player set to become a unrestricted free agent Tuesday morning, inking second-line winger Rich Peverley to a three-year contract extension.
Peverley was acquired on Feb. 18 last season when the Bruins sent Mark Stuart and Blake Wheeler to Atlanta for the speedy forward and defenseman Boris Valabik.
Peverley leads the Bruins with two goals this season, both of which were scored in Saturday's win over the Lightning. His signing leaves Chris Kelly, Gregory Campbell, Shawn Thornton, Daniel Paille, Joe Corvo and Johnny Boychuk as the remaining players set to become unrestricted free agents at season's end.
Milan Lucic agrees with Claude Julien: B's took the game 'way too lightly'
|10.10.11 at 4:57 pm ET
It was pretty apparent, even before Claude Julien called out his team before reporters in a post-game press conference, that the Bruins were fairly disgusted with their performance in a 1-0 loss to the Avalanche that wasted a brilliant performance by Tuukka Rask.
The Bruins managed 30 shots on Semyon Varlamov, but not enough sustained pressure. When they got great chances, including Lucic with just under six minutes to go in the game, they couldn't finish.
"Well, they played well, you have to give them credit," Lucic said. "But on our part, we took today's game way too lightly. We lost most of the battles, they were first on pucks. Regardless of if we were the champs last year or not, the major areas on the ice, they wanted the puck more than us. And that's why we weren't able to generate enough to get that goal.
"We created some pretty good chances, just have to find a way to bear down on them."
In their losses to the Flyers and Avalanche, the Bruins could not do two basic things essential to winning hockey and their Cup run of last spring: Control the puck and win physical battles.
"Yeah, it seemed like we were chasing a lot and they were just chipping past us and going," Lucic said. "And we were a step late, a second late here a step late, a second late over there. And that's basically what happens. I talked about being first to the puck and winning battles and we didn't have enough of that. Good for four periods and need to work on the rest."
Avalanche shut out Bruins in Tuukka Rask's season debut
|10.10.11 at 3:20 pm ET
Tuukka Rask made a good first impression for the 2011-12 season, but it wasn't enough as the Avalanche defeated the Bruins, 1-0, in Monday's matinee at TD Garden.
Milan Hejduk beat Rask with a wrist shot from the right face-off circle at 7:57 of the third period to get the Avalanche on the board. Rask was making his season debut for the Bruins after starting 27 games last season.
The Bruins had difficulty beating Colorado net minder Semyon Varlamov throughout the day. Varlamov, who came to the Avalanche in an offseason trade with the Capitals, stopped all 30 shots he faced. Rask stopped 35 of 36 shots.
The Bruins are now 1-2-0 on the season. After playing their first three games of the season at home, the B's will play the next two on the road. Tomas Kaberle and the Hurricanes will host the defending champions on Wednesday, and the B's will face the 2009-10 champion Blackhawks in Chicago on Saturday.
– Aside from a 2-on-1 chance with Milan Lucic, there's been very little sign of life from Nathan Horton thus far. The Bruins' top right-winger had another zero-shot day, and has just one shot on goal through three games. Horton hasn't been as aggressive or physically engaging as he was when he was establishing himself as a big-game player last spring. The expectation here is that he will end up leading the team in scoring, but it's taken him a while to get going.
– Rich Peverley had a golden opportunity to tie the game in front with seconds remaining but couldn't get a handle on it. He still leads the Bruins with two goals this season.
– This game just had the feel of a 2010-11 Rask start: solid goaltending, but nothing really going on in front of him. The B's did a good job of clearing pucks out in front, but the Bruins' skaters put forth a generally drowsy performance. Rask won only 11 games last season as a result of that.
– The 2011-12 version of Tyler Seguin — the one that's less timid and more willing to go in the tough areas — got his first real test when he was crushed along the boards in the first period by Colorado defenseman Ryan Wilson.
Seguin didn't let himself get in position to be hit often as a rookie, so it may have been the biggest hit he's taken in his young career. That didn't deter him from chasing a puck in the corner with a man on him in his own zone later in the first period. The Colorado player chasing him eventually went off for a change, but Seguin clearly made the effort to get there first and was able to send a long pass through the neutral zone to Peverley at the far blue line.
– Another game, another 60 minutes in which the second line was the Bruins' best trio. Brad Marchand had said prior to the season that his goal was to get more shots on goal this season, and he hasn't lacked in that regard. He had three shots on goal through the first two periods, while Patrice Bergeron led the Bruins with five. Marchand had the Bruins' best opportunity through the first 40 minutes when Varlamov got a toe on his 2-on-1 bid with Bergeron.
– The Bruins' penalty kill was strong when it needed to be. The B's ran into some penalty trouble early. Zdeno Chara went off 1:56 into the game for cross-checking Ryan O'Bryne, and Adam McQuaid flipped the puck over the glass from his own zone to set up a 27-second 5-on-3. The Avalanche applied a ton of pressure, but Bergeron, Andrew Ference, Dennis Seidenberg and Rask were able to weather the storm.

I meet Barbara Taylor Bradford in The Queens Hotel, Leeds, where she is mid-tour promoting her 22nd novel, The Ravenscar Dynasty, a vast sweeping saga in which the hero, Edward, has "eyes as blue as the speedwells that grow in the summer meadows" and thick hair that is "a stunning burnished gold". Heavens, could he be the kind of man who can't help but break a woman's heart? Yes! He is! As Alice, the young widow of a local doctor who is already in love with him by page 12, says on page 13: "I know you're the kind of man who can't help but break a woman's heart." Well, fancy. And there's still 600-odd pages to go.
OK, OK, who am I to poke fun? I'm with you all the way there. All told, Barbara Taylor Bradford has sold more than 75 million blockbusters which, in turn, have been translated into 40 languages: Hebrew; Romanian; Finnish; particularly Finnish - "oh, how those Finns love me," she exclaims happily. She is crazily, madly, insanely rich; said to be worth anything from £100m to £600m, depending on whom you believe, and also said to be Britain's richest woman after the Queen. I should confess that when I read up on her, the following thought did cross my mind and then lodged there rather: "She's never had any children, but has to leave it all to someone." I know she has two Bichon Frisés (those fluffy little dogs that make poodles look butch) that she absolutely dotes on, but it's nothing that, perhaps, a good kick down some stairs or a lift shaft couldn't cure. So I put on my best smile in the hope of looking sweet and adorable and very, very adoptable. Naturally, at some point, I shall have to make it clear that, at this stage in my life, I'm quite happy to not be breast-fed.
So, here we are, then, in the lounge at The Queens Hotel. She greets me warmly, but you know she is quite steely from the off. "Of course, Deborah, the thing about interviews is that I know you'll have the last word," she says. "True enough," I concur obligingly, still smiling my best smile; a smile that says, I hope: I don't have eyes as blue as speedwells or hair that's a stunning burnished gold but, hey, I'd be nice to have around, all the same. I do not add: "May I call you mummy?" as I do not wish to frighten her at this early stage.
As it happens, Barbara grew up in Leeds, in Upper Armley on the west side, and remembers The Queens when it was smart and glamorous - oh, the dances! - but now? It's rather dark and tatty and dingy, well past its best, unlike Barbara. I don't think Barbara could ever be dark or dingy or tatty or past it. She is 73, and quite magnificent. True, the ash-blonde hair-do that looks as if it's been set in a mould overnight is a trifle scary, but she is also flawlessly groomed and has the most marvellous, smooth, peachy skin. Come on Barbara, what have you had done? Let's have the full list of works. "Nothing!" she protests. "Well, I did have my eyes done but that was 25 years ago." She does wish her figure were rather different. "I've got a very big bust, no hips and thin legs," she says. Sometimes she thinks she ought to go on a diet. But her film producer husband, Bob, just won't have it. "He says: 'Baaarb, you're fine. All those other women are just too skinny.'"
She is beautifully dressed in an Italian red wool jacket and is accessorised to the hilt. No "less is more" nonsense with Baaarb. There's a Hermès bag and a Hermès scarf and a rope of pearls and a diamond ring and a sapphire ring and a gold bangle studded with emeralds and a Harry Winston gold watch of the kind available from luxury stores on Fifth Avenue - or so I'm guessing - but not Ernest Jones. Barbara, I ask, what is it like, being so rich?
"Well, it's nice to know that Bob and I don't have to worry about our old age. But I'm not a shopper. I don't enjoy shopping." No? "No. I'm not a shopper. My one weakness is furniture. I do love antiques, but Bob's the one who has bought me Hermès bags for years so I rarely buy a bag. And he's the one who will go out and buy me a string of pearls. I know it sounds strange, but I find trailing around the shops very boring. I always feel I could do something better with my time, like write a book." She is still amazingly driven and ambitious, I think. f Later, when I ask Bob - they are entirely devoted, and travel everywhere together - what it would be like if Barbara were to wake up tomorrow and find she were unable to write another word, he says: "It would be a disaster. A disaster!" I add that if he were to wake tomorrow and were to find himself in the mood for buying me a string of pearls, say, that would be fine, though, wouldn't it? He laughs and pats my shoulder in a way that might almost be fatherly. I think I could be in here.
Barbara has lived in New York - in an apartment with "14 internal doors", which I'm assuming means it's on the biggish side - ever since she married Bob in 1963. Does she miss Yorkshire? I don't think so, really. Well, maybe she misses the food sometimes but, that said, there is a store near to her apartment - Myers of Keswick - that sells all the stuff she loves: Heinz salad cream, HP Sauce, Bird's custard powder, piccalilli, Cumberland sausages. She would, in fact, come over more frequently if it weren't for the dogs. They don't like it when she goes away. She can't even pack in front of them, because once they see the suitcases they get all despondent and depressed. And she misses them awfully.
"But I do phone every day, to see how they are," she says. I can see, now, that it really would be good for her to have me around. If something awful were to happen to the dogs - like falling down a lift shaft, say - I would be a great consolation, I think.
Barbara's beginnings were modest but never, she will stress, deprived. Her mother, Freda, was a nurse and her father, Winston, an engineer who lost a leg in the First World War and was out of work throughout the Depression. But they poured everything into Barbara, their only child. "Don't start making it look as if I had a terrible childhood because it's just not true," she says. "I'm not going to lie and say I was beaten. Quite the opposite. I was ironed and starched and puffed out and I was a bit of a goody-two-shoes because I tried to stay clean and I did my homework. In all the pictures of me when I was a little girl I have gloves on."
Certainly, she adored her parents. Her father, she says, "was terribly good-looking and always terribly well-groomed and even today I can't stand ungroomed men. I think he did have quite an eye for the ladies but I don't think he did anything about it. I don't think he could nip around as quickly as some chaps because of his artificial leg."
For Freda, no sacrifice was too great for Barbara. Freda even moved out of the marital bed, into a separate room, "because she didn't want any more children; nothing was going to stop her from giving me a better life." And people wonder where Barbara gets her drive and focus from? Freda taught Barbara to read very early. "I'd read the whole of Dickens by the time I was 12."
Freda dispatched Barbara to a private school, much to the consternation of Winston's mother who, apparently, thought Freda had ideas above her station. Freda took Barbara to stately homes - endlessly! - where she was told: "That's a Constable and that's a Gainsborough." Didn't you find it all a bit suffocating, Barbara? "No. What I did find, though, is that being an only child is a tremendous pressure because all their dreams are put into you and they want you to succeed almost impossibly. I always had the sense I had to do well, no matter what, to please her."
Recently, Barbara's biographer, Piers Dudgeon, suggested that Freda might have been the illegitimate daughter of the Marquess of Rippon. Hence, perhaps, the trips to stately homes and Freda's ideas above her station. What's Barbara's take on this? "I don't know if it's true, Deborah. My mother never told me. But you have to think back to that time. Being illegitimate was a terrible shame, wasn't it? Fathers kicked girls out on to the street. It was very hard to live down. So I've no idea if it's true and there is no one left to ask. But it hasn't changed my life. I'm Winston and Freda Taylor's daughter, I'm married to Robert Bradford, I'm a best-selling novelist and have achieved what I wanted to accomplish." Yes indeedy.
She could have gone to university, but didn't. Instead, she left school at 15 for the typing pool at the Yorkshire Evening Post. She knew she wanted to be a writer, had known she wanted to be a writer since she was 10 years old and sold a short story to a magazine for seven shillings and sixpence. "I bought daddy some handkerchiefs and mummy a green vase. Hemingway said you can't call yourself a writer until you've been paid for it, so I've been a writer since I was 10." She was, she says, a hopeless typist; wasted so much stationery she used to take it home in her handbag so she wouldn't be discovered. Alternatively, "I would take a handful to the ladies room, set a match to it, and throw it down the toilet."
Barbara could, by the sound of it, have had any bloke in Leeds at this time. I know this to be so because later we are joined by her childhood friend, Bobby Caplin, OBE (big in ladies' riding jackets, apparently) and he says, well, Barbara at that age "was a cracker, absolutely gorgeous. Every guy lusted after her. Even Arthur Brittenden [who then worked for the YEP but would later become director of Times Newspapers and then a director of Murdoch's News International] was in love with her." Really? Babs, you goer, you. "Oh, but I was very, very busy..." she says. Apparently, she even turned Peter O'Toole down. Barbara! "I didn't know who he was!"
As you'd expect, she didn't stay in the typing pool for long. By the time she was 18 she was woman's editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post and then it was London and Fleet Street. You had a bit of a permissive Sixties at least? "Well, I had boyfriends and I slept with them. I wasn't a virgin when I married Bob." She met Bob at a dinner party. I like Bob. He's an odd conker colour, I'll concede that, but he smells lovely (Yves Saint Laurent) and is wearing a Brioni jacket which, apparently, is quite the last word in elegance. Bob is Jewish and I am Jewish so we talk Jewish for a bit. Do you know I make the best chicken soup, Bob? Have you heard the one about the little boy who tells his mother he's been cast as the husband in the school play? "What?" she says, "they couldn't give you a speaking part?" He laughs again. Oh, I am so in with Bob. Hey, says Barbara, "I'm Jewish by osmosis. Someone once described me as the best Jewish shiksa in the world!" All right, Baaarb, keep your hair on! (Like it's ever going to move...)
She did get pregnant once, but miscarried at three months and never conceived again. Did she ever explore why? "No, I didn't. I was always running here and there, working. To tell you the honest truth it really never bothered me that much. I once said to a journalist, you don't miss somebody you have never known, so I've never missed the child that I never had. And she said, 'Oh, but you've missed the feeling', like a headmistress. Bob always says we've shot that film, it's in the can and we've already shown it, let's move on."
She could have stopped working once she married Bob, but that wasn't her style. So, instead, she wrote A Woman of Substance - the story of Emma Harte who transforms herself from housemaid into tycoon, and transformed Barbara into a phenomenon.
"It came out in May 1979 and was on the best-seller list by the end of June. It did quite well in hardback. But it was the paperback, the following year, which sold three and a half million copies and stayed for 55 weeks on the New York Times list. I kept expecting it to drop off and it kept staying there and staying there..." How does she account for it? "I think it was the first book about a strong woman going out and conquering the world, making it in the man's world." Barbara was always an admirer of Thatcher, needless to say. And she doesn't give a stuff about reviews, or what the literary establishment might think of her. "Well, I write popular fiction, Deborah, and I have a lot of readers so they probably turn their noses up at me, but you know what? I really don't care."
We have to move on now. She has a raft of radio and TV interviews to get on with. She is a brick, I think. She's bumped about from here to there, from this studio to that, and doesn't complain. She only gets a packet of crisps for lunch (Walkers, plain) and doesn't complain. She is charming in the interviews, remembers everybody's names. It is: "Well, Adam, my heart belongs to Yorkshire, of course..." And: "Well, Christy, I once said to my husband it never rained in Armley but that's just because I was so happy..." She knows the score, all right. She knows how to write her kind of books and how to sell her kind of books. But she is also authentic. She may even be a mensch.
When we part I get a hug from her, a hug from Bob and their card, should I ever find myself in New York. "Like, tomorrow?" I don't say. But I'm sure they'll be very pleased when I turn up, all the same.

Affordable gaming. Far from the main strip. Slightly dated rooms and facilities. Would recommend.
Las Vegas has become the world's most popular holiday destination, with more visitors per year than any other city. That's quite an achievement for a city that's sprung from the Nevada desert and become a scarcely believable playground for all tastes.
Las Vegas hotels come in all shapes and sizes imaginable, from the Luxor pyramid, to the glitz of Caesar's Palace through to the decadent luxury that is the Wynn & the Encore at the end of the Strip.
While the city is marketed primarily as a place for adults, there's plenty for families to do as well. Most of the hotels in Las Vegas have catered in some ways for the underage, Excalibur has nightly jousting shows over dinner, Circus Circus has an indoor rollercoaster and amusement park & the MGM has a fantastic five pool complex complete with waterfalls & grottos.
Vegas is also the worlds largest conference and convention destination – you can be pretty sure that every hotel on the strip (and a lot of the off strip Vegas hotels) are hosting at least one gathering on any given day of the year.
With more meeting space than any other city in the world, Las Vegas hosts a number of high profile events throughout the year, including the ABC Kids Expo, the International Vision Expo West 2014, the Solar Energy Trade Show and Mr. Olympia. The city has a number of luxurious convention facilities, including the Cashman Center, the Sands Expo & Convention Center and the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The large casinos offer a variety of dining options, from buffets to gourmet food to simple cafes. Also, Las Vegas is known for great steakhouses with high quality meat cooked to perfection. This city is also home to the famous "Heart Attack Grill" which serves incredibly high calorie menu items such as the "Triple Bypass Burger". Most of the hotels on the Las Vegas strip feature both café type eateries through to fine dining, if you haven't been to the SW steakhouse at the Wynn (named after Steve Wynn's initials!) then you're missing out. The wine selection is second to none and the food is to die for.
Major Points of Interest
The most famous attraction in Vegas is gambling and there are countless enormous glittering casinos where you can spend hours hypnotised by card games and slot machines. This city also offers lots of great nightly entertainment, including comedy shows, live musical theatre, erotic dance clubs, variety shows and circus acts. Also, get a thrill on the rides, such as "The X-Scream" at the Stratosphere Hotel and "The Roller Coaster" at the New York New York Hotel. That's not all that Las Vegas has to offer though, you're only a short drive away from untouched desert with some of the best vistas in the States, Red Rock Canyon is less than an hour away, as is the world famous Hoover Dam, or the more adventurous could always book a helicopter ride and see the Grand Canyon.
Las Vegas is a shopping lover's playground, with many great malls to choose from. The Fashion Show Mall offers sweet styles from popular designers, the Town Square provides relaxing open air shopping and the Las Vegas Premium Outlets boasts discounts on your favorite brands.
The city's most important sporting event of the year is the finals of the annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit. It is held in December at the Thomas & Mack Center. A number of hotels in Las Vegas have also hosted the annual World Series of Poker, most recently the Rio Hotel and Casino has held that honor attracting tens of thousands of professional players from across the globe. Las Vegas also hosts the USA Sevens, part of an annual circuit of events for rugby sevens teams.

We invite everyone to join us for Homecoming July 20, Sunday School at 10:00 am, worship at 10:45 am. Broth er Brian Gilpin will bring the message; the Nesbitt family will sing.
Brother Ronnie holds street meeting in Heflin every other Saturday; the next date will be July 19, come by and join us. This week the message was from John 8:31- 36, our greatest freedom is from the bondage of sin. We thank God for the freedom we have to worship.
Brother Greg opened our services this morning with verses from Job 7:11 and 5:19. God will deliver us over and over again!
Our Sunday School lesson was from Exodus 14:1- 31, "Miracle at the Red Sea". We all have our Red Seas, when the enemy pushes us as far as he can, even to the point of death. But God always comes out on top!
Our morning service was one of prayer, worship and healing! We praise and thank God for all he does, and is going to do!
Brother Ronnie's message tonight was from Revela tion 20:11-15. Once we're saved God has a work for each of us to do. James 2:17-18 tells us faith without works is dead; Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us we're not saved by works but by grace. We will want to work because we love God and others!
Brother Ronnie will pray with you anytime; his num ber is 256-201-9444.

Religion and science share the same roots: awe and wonder
A small c catholic: The way physicist John C. Mather reconciles science and religion is inspirational, something we should strive for.
A small c catholic: The way physicist John C. Mather reconciles science and religion is inspirational, something we should strive for.
A small c catholic: I've never known how to respond to those who use Matthew 16:18 as assertion that anyone outside the Catholic church is apostate.
A small c catholic: "While some of us have been active in interfaith groups that promote religious harmony and understanding, others have bought into fear and have promoted prejudices."
A small c catholic: For the most part, non-Catholics love Pope Francis. But they also see some things he could work on.
It's important for churches to be clear and forthright about who they are and what they teach. This helps newcomers have a clue about whether they'd feel at home there.
A small c catholic: God has outsourced the choosing of religious leaders to the faithful. But he doesn't intervene to keep us from making mistakes.
A small c catholic: Hans Küng has been a prophetic voice for Christianity for decades. But maybe it's time to listen to someone else.
A small c catholic: What has intrigued me most about Pope Francis is the way in which countless Protestants have moved into his fan club.
A small c catholic: When it comes to a faith rooted in historical events, we must be careful about saying what we know and what we don't know.
A small c catholic: The Bible instructs us not to hide our talents under a bushel basket, so I will offer you a peek into what's coming in 2014.

The foreclosure crisis of last decade left a lot of houses on the market for cheap. Big investors, including hedge funds, private equity firms, and large investment firms, bought them up to use as single-family rentals. It turns out that a hedge fund several states away is not a friendly landlord. [More]
Wall Street Now Owns A Lot Of Homes; Is Kind Of A Mean Landlord
Airbnb Tries More Self-Regulation In New York, Too
If the vacation-booking site Airbnb has to be regulated, it at least wants to impose regulations on itself instead of having local governments do it. While the company is starting to self-regulate in San Francisco and cooperated with the city to make rules in Chicago, it also proposed rules for itself in New York. [More]
San Francisco Proposal Would Limit Residential Airbnb Rentals To 60 Days/Year
The relationship between Airbnb and its home city of San Francisco is complicated to say the least. the least. The two have repeatedly duked it out over regulations, taxes, and liability, and now the stage is set for yet another battle between the city and the home-sharing platform, as the San Francisco Board of Supervisors considers reducing the number of days people in the city can rent out their homes each year. [More]
Airbnb Hosts Having Difficulty Refinancing Homes
Until recently, home loans generally covered two types of properties: primary residences or investments. That was before services like Airbnb allowed anyone with an extra room to make a bit of extra money by renting it out for short periods of time. This blurred line between "my house" and "my investment" is causing trouble for some homeowners when they go to refinance their mortgages. [More]
Terrible Landlord Accused Of Harassing, Literally Freezing Out Tenants
The landlord in East Harlem in New York City wanted the last rent-stabilized tenants out. The rest of the building was being renovated to attract market-rate tenants, but the family with five kids just wouldn't leave, even after the five other households in the building did. Now the landlord has been arrested and accused of harassing the family and endangering their children. [More]
Airbnb will be allowed to operate in Chicago after the city council passed two measures on Wednesday that allow short-term rentals, but there will be a few restrictions on that process. [More]
For $628 A Night You Can Cook In The French Cottage Where Julia Child Cooked
If you're the kind of person who's read and tried every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking (or you've at least seen that movie about the woman who did) you've already gotten pretty close to the legendary Julia Child. But now you can get even closer: you can rent out the chef's cottage in Provence and cook in her kitchen (or sleep in it, if you want). [More]

Would You Borrow Your Outfits By Mail For $139 Per Month?
Would you treat your wardrobe like a Netflix DVD subscription? Rent the Runway, a company known for renting out special-occasion dresses and ugly holiday sweaters, has been testing a service that they call Unlimited for a few years now, finally letting it out of beta. The idea? You rent three pieces of designer clothing at a time, receiving the next one in your queue when you send one back to be dry cleaned, or just because you're tired of it. [More]
Airbnb Guests Find Decomposing Body In French Rental's Garden
We've heard of Airbnb horror stories before — from nightmare renters who refuse to leave, to guests who find hidden cameras watching them — but this might be one of the worst, and saddest: renters staying at a house near Paris discovered the decomposing body of a woman in the home's garden. [More]
Airbnb Wants To Get Into Bed With U.S. Landlords
Though there are surely tenants out there renting their apartments out on Airbnb without their landlord's blessing, the short-term rental site wants to get on the good side of apartment owners around the country. To that end, it's reaching out to a few large companies with a lot of properties to see if all sides can work out something beneficial to all involved. [More]
San Diego Woman Must Pay $15K Fine Over Airbnb Rentals
Cities across the country have been cracking down on Airbnb and homeowners who rent through the service but may be playing fast and loose with the rules: from enacting city laws and creating offices to enforce said regulations, to ordering the company to pay millions of dollars in hotel taxes and levying fines against those who provide accommodations through the site. The latest such case comes out of San Diego where a woman was recently ordered to pay $15,000 for renting rooms in her home in violation of city laws. [More]
San Francisco Creates New Office To Regulate Airbnb, Other Short-Term Rentals
The city of San Francisco and Airbnb have a somewhat contentious relationship, most recently involving tens of millions of dollars in back-taxes the short-term rental company agreed to pay the city earlier this year. Now, to ensure things continue to go smoothly for renters and rentees of services like Airbnb, the city has created a new office for the sole purpose of enforcing rules regarding vacation and short-term rentals. [More]
The Apartment Rental Credit Check Scam Is Alive And Well
Six years ago, we alerted the world to the apartment rental credit check scam. That's a scheme where apartments or houses that may or may not exist are advertised on Craigslist or other classified ad sites to sell not-so-free credit checks to prospective renters. Unfortunately, in spite of our campaign and warnings right on Craigslist ads, these schemes are alive and well. [More]
Airbnb launched a new tool Thursday that aims to help owners of properties make the most money possible. Price Tips will create continuous suggestions for pricing based on metrics such as demand for rooms, local events and rental prices for hotels in the area. The company claims that owners who price their property within 5% of the suggested amount are four times as likley to attract a renter. [TechCrunch]
Why Do I Still Have To Write A Check To Pay My Rent?
Carrying around a checkbook all of the time seems outdated even by the standards of America's grandmas. Why is it, then, that 70% of people who rent their homes write a check every month to pay the bill? That trend is changing, but very slowly. [More]
"Don't Flush Feminine Products" Signs In AirBNB Rentals? $10,000 In Damages Makes A Good Case
A Los Angeles AirBNB host probably wishes she had hung one of those "Please place feminine products in the trash" signs up in her condo's bathroom. Doing so may have saved her more than $10,000 in damages after a renter allegedly repeatedly flushed the products down her toilet causing a blockage and massive leak. [More]
Man Returns From 2-Day Vacation, Finds Family Living In His Home
In our post about the AirBNB "guest" who decided to make himself at home and squat in a desert condo after he had stayed for a month, we noted that at least the condo in question was a vacation home, not her regular home. No, that actually happened this week to a man in Miami. He returned to the house he was renting after a short vacation and found another family living there. [More]

An Actress Prepares: Women and 'The Method'By: Rosemary Malague (author)Hardback
More than 4 weeks availability
Description'Every day, thousands of women enter acting classes where most of them will receive some variation on the Stanislavsky-based training that has now been taught in the U.S. for nearly ninety years. Yet relatively little feminist consideration has been given to the experience of the student actress: What happens to women in Method actor training?' An Actress Prepares is the first book to interrogate Method acting from a specifically feminist perspective. Rose Malague addresses "the Method" not only with much-needed critical distance, but also the crucial insider's view of a trained actor. Case studies examine the preeminent American teachers who popularized and transformed elements of Stanislavsky's System within the U.S.-Strasberg, Adler, Meisner, and Hagen- by analyzing and comparing their related but distinctly different approaches. This book confronts the sexism that still exists in actor training and exposes the gender biases embedded within the Method itself. Its in-depth examination of these Stanislavskian techniques seeks to reclaim Method acting from its patriarchal practices and to empower women who act. 'I've been waiting for someone to write this book for years: a thorough-going analysis and reconsideration of American approaches to Stanislavsky from a feminist perspective ...lively, intelligent, and engaging.' - Phillip Zarrilli, University of Exeter 'Theatre people of any gender will be transformed by Rose Malague's eye-opening study An Actress Prepares...This book will be useful to all scholars and practitioners determined to make gender equity central to how they hone their craft and their thinking.' - Jill Dolan, Princeton University
