|Education Bill
Mr. Timms: Our approach is that, subject to basic safeguards, companies should be as free as possible to manage themselves. Companies should have the flexibility to decide the most suitable management arrangements for themselves. School companies will have the protection of the Companies Act 1985 and be fully consulted on the framework put in place by the clause 7 regulations.
The additional restrictions in the amendment are unnecessary. The amendment would require companies to complete processes of due diligence and due process, the nature of which has not been specified. We propose to regulate at a sufficiently detailed level to make such a provision bite. Companies would be required to ensure an absence of conflict of interest, but that is standard practice for company directors under company legislation. It is not clear why we should want to go further here than elsewhere. The general drift of the hon. Gentleman's remarks has been an expression of concern about placing unduly onerous restrictions on companies: the restrictions in the amendment are unnecessary.
Mr. O'Brien: I shall try to highlight without referring to the particular case. Potential directors and members of the company could be current LEA members-they might have retired from the LEA to join the company. It is quite possible to envisage that. Let us suppose that a foreign-owned company applies to place an incinerator in a local community, and that officers and councillors are involved in the decision. If they step down as councillors, they could become directors of the incineration company. That sort of conflict of interest does not arise under current best practice. Potential political conflicts of interests do not usually arise in corporate life. The Bill should specify that such conflicts of interest should be examined.
Mr. Timms: I am not clear exactly how that example applies. Schools will not join companies to establish incinerators. The existing framework of company law covers the hon. Gentleman's concerns. I am resistant to placing in the Bill further layers of restriction that are unnecessary elsewhere. The satisfactory taking of references is another aspect of standard practice.
Amendment No. 61 would add a great deal to the regulations. We intend to consult fully on those regulations. Interested parties will have an opportunity to say what should be included. If it is felt that particular points in the list should be reflected in the regulations, there will be an opportunity to argue that case. Company law prescribes the responsibilities of directors. Directors appointed to represent schools, LEAs and the Secretary of State will have a legal duty to promote the good management of the company as well as a responsibility to their own public body. It is not necessary for the Secretary of State to have further powers to intervene in the running of individual companies. The company's memorandum and articles will specify the rights of shareholders to receive information and make decisions.
In moving the amendment, the hon. Gentleman noted that several of the points are already in the Companies Act, most obviously proposed new sub-paragraph (xi), which says simply that companies should comply with the Companies Act 1985. However, companies will have to comply with all the requirements of that Act anyway, and there is no value in picking out a list of points and reminding everyone that the companies will have to comply with them. The point about an asset register is covered by that, as are several other points.
The Committee will agree that governing bodies will make sensible decisions about the operation of companies in the framework of protection that I described. It would undermine the Bill's intention to impose unnecessary red tape or unnecessarily lengthy regulations. I should comment on proposed new sub-paragraph (xv), on which the hon. Gentleman spent some time, and amendment No. 61, which is related. He made a fair point about the LEA needing to be aware of problems down the line or potential financial difficulties. That is already covered by subsection 11(5)(d), which provides that where an LEA is
He makes a fair point about the LEA needing to be aware of that information, but it is already covered in the Bill. I hope that the Committee agrees that the amendments would not strengthen the Bill, but weaken it.
Mr. O'Brien: The speed of the drafting has meant that the amendment is not perfect. Given its length, it was unlikely to be. I shall not press it to a Division because that would be inappropriate, but the points have been made. It is important to ensure that the regulations are detailed and available at the earliest possible opportunity. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Mr. Brady: I beg to move amendment No. 19, in page 8, line 5, at end insert-
I am sure that the Committee is grateful to my hon. Friend, and I can reflect only that, had that weight of expertise from the corporate and legal world been brought to the assistance of the taxpayer in the normal commercial environment, it would have cost a considerable amount of money. It is just one example of how the public receives such a great service from Members of this House.
In moving amendment No. 19, I am conscious of the time and the fact that, due to the repressive, restrictive timetabling under which we are operating, we are unlikely to complete consideration of all clauses. [Interruption.] Someone on the Labour Benches said that we agreed to it. If the Government are prepared to suspend their majority on the Committee before we move into the next sitting of the Programming Sub-Committee, we may put that to the test. Regrettably, we are operating under an arbitrary timetable, and some important aspects of the Bill might get no consideration whatever.
I am keen to give a brief airing to an important concern that relates to clauses 10, 11 and 12, but is summed up in amendment No. 19. In our examination of aspects of clause 11 so far, the Minister has confirmed by implication that, because some people who form or become involved in companies may not have a profit motive, others may have that motive. In essence, the Government want to establish a framework for what could be characterised as a purchaser-provider split in educational services that sees the creation of companies, whether by a school's governing body or the Secretary of State, to provide services or to purchase goods or services. As the Minister confirmed, the governing body remains responsible for the provision of education but, in the Bill's terms, the governing body may not be directly responsible for providing that education.
We have here the bones of a dramatically radical change in the way in which education policy may be delivered in this country. I make no criticism of that and we may be on the verge of providing for an extremely exciting new environment that provides scope for new ideas for the benefit of education. We are, however, contemplating a very dramatic shift, the measure of which is, as the Minister said, that the motivation of those engaged at the public's expense in the provision of educational services may be to make a profit. I have no philosophical difficulty with that, and if the end result is an improved provision of services, that is to be welcomed.
What amendment No. 19 seeks to do, however, is constrain the environment within which a commercial operator may practise by seeking to ensure that these clauses do not also become a means of avoiding normal responsibilities under education legislation.
Earlier in our proceedings, the Government sought to provide for removing controls from schools to allow exemption from education legislation and the requirements thereof in certain circumstances. Yet here, particularly in clauses 10 and 11 but also in clause 12, what the Government seek to do is provide a framework within which any educational provision could be made by a corporate entity and not be subject to education legislation.
In many ways, that exemption goes far wider than those that have previously been discussed. For obvious reasons, I shall not speak to amendment No. 18, but the same theme applies to it as to amendment No. 19: that the principal purpose of those entities must be educational, not purely corporate and commercial.
We seek to establish that a company set up by a school at public expense to provide an educational service must observe education legislation requirements. Where a company operates within a school, the use of facilities for corporate purposes should not be allowed to impinge on the normal expectation of educational activity.
Amendments No. 18 and 19 are absolutely central to the Bill. I have not been able to spend sufficient time on this matter to do it justice, and the Minister, in two minutes, will not be able to give an adequate response, but I am anxious to allow him what time there is to reply.
Mr. Timms: Education legislation does not apply directly to companies; it applies to schools, LEAs, colleges and pupils. The amendment would have little, if any, practical effect.
The misunderstanding may go back to our earlier exchange. Governing bodies will retain their existing duties under education law. Nothing in the Bill sets those aside. Where a company carries out services under contract on behalf of an LEA, the contract will need to impose the same duties and standards on the company as apply to the LEA, ensuring that the LEA fulfils its legal obligations under existing education legislation.
Other types of company-companies purchasing goods and services, and PFI companies-carry out commercial functions related to education, rather than directly providing education. In those types of commercial arrangements, education legislation is not relevant and normal company contract and employment law will regulate the companies' activities. Nothing further is needed. It is meaningless to seek to make those companies subject to education legislation.
The concern that the hon. Gentleman has expressed is already fully met by existing provisions, including the fact that governing bodies will retain their current duties under the law.

Space Chimps
Circus monkey Ham III works in a circus where he's regularly shot from a canon but he still lives in the shadow of his father's legacy. A natural born rebel against authority, Ham III is initially reluctant to go on a dangerous space mission to rescue a lost space probe, but away he goes, for lots of RIGHT STUFF-style astro-training alongside two highly prepared chimps, Luna and Titan.

Ever since I wrote a paper on Thomas Gallaudet for my sign language class, I've been interested in visiting the university named after him. When I went to Washington D.C. this summer, Gallaudet University was the only place on my sightseeing wish list. I was hoping I would meet someone who could take me on a tour and I did! HLAA's own Lisa Devlin is a retiree from Gallaudet's Hearing & Speech Center where she worked as an audiologist. When she found out, I wanted to see Gallaudet, she made it happen, driving me there and walking around campus with me.
Chapel Hall
Our first stop at Gallaudet was Chapel Hall which has a museum with a pictorial timeline of the school's 150 year history. I really enjoyed spending time in there. Lisa had seen it before but she liked seeing it again too. Another place that had exhibits on display was the Sorensen Language and Communication Center. Here are a few exhibits that caught my eye:
A display of manual alphabet sculpture
Yes, deaf people CAN drive.
In this historical photo of Gallaudet University's first women's literary society, the ladies in the front row are fingerspelling the word "owls" behind their mascot.
I could not leave Gallaudet without visiting their library. Elizabeth Henry, one of the librarians and a friend of Lisa's, gave us a tour. My favorite part was going to the Archives Department because my current job involves digital archives. Did you know that Gallaudet's world-renowned Deaf Collections and Archives contain nearly all published materials relating to the history and culture of deaf people around the world?
Our final stop was to the bookstore where I purchased a t-shirt and travel cup as souvenirs of my visit. It was great to have my dream come true to see Gallaudet, but my timing was not the best as very few students were on campus that day. I had hoped to see crowds of people communicating in sign language but that did not happen. Have you been to Gallaudet as a student or visitor? What was your experience like?

Infamy's Goblin Chieftain Rides to War
October 19, 2015 by dracs
Infamy have finished sculpting up their Goblin Chieftain and are showing off their final sculpt before they send him out into the world.
The Goblin Chieftain is a fantastic sculpt, with intricate detailing on display everywhere, right down to the ornamentation of his lance.
Seeing it sitting, grinning atop that evil emu muppet of a monstrous mount, the model just has a ton of character that I think really captures the essence of fantasy gobbos.
This miniature is Infamy's first model outside of their usual steampunk comfort zone, a range which they plan to expand further in the future and give themselves a chance to stretch their sculpting muscles. This one is definitely an imaginative piece, and serves as a very promising start for these.
Do you like the Goblin Chieftain? What sort of model do you think Infamy should do next?

Judith Heinschel, PhD, PMHNP-BC
- Assistant Professor
I am interested in several aspects related to health, healing, and nursing. Areas of particular interest and expertise include: curriculum development, implementation and revision; healing; interactive guided imagery, and mental health. The holographic paradigm, implicit and explicit realities, and factors related to healing capture my interest. My long term goal is to build and refine the conceptual model of the phenomenon of interactive guided imagery, work I initially began in my doctoral program.
I have 26 years of experience teaching, for undergraduate and graduate nursing students as well as medical students and residents. Current and recent teaching areas include advanced practice nursing roles and policy development for psychiatric - mental health nurse practitioner students; applied pharmacotherapeutics; family behavioral health; group dynamics, behavior and interventions; nursing inquiry; and family-focused health management in primary care.
Recent or current DNP Scholarly Projects that I have been a committee chair or member involve motivational interviewing in primary care, integration of primary and mental health care, dementia recognition in hospitalized patients, and anxiety screening in primary care patients. My personal research interest lies mostly in theory development and interactive guided imagery.
Clinical Setting
Until recently, I held a position as a Psychiatric - Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at the University of Illinois Family Medicine Clinic, in Rockford, IL.

Analyze, accept, appreciate, accentuate, and act for a better sex life.
Posted Aug 15, 2013
How to Change:
1) Analyze your own part - is there anything you can do to make your partner's response easier? Has she asked you to wear nice clothes so her visual take on you is more attractive? Has he asked for more aggression on your part but you didn't think it was "lady-like?"
Even if you've tried everything... sometimes you have to "go again." You've felt discouraged and have withdrawn behaviors that your partner might need in favor of the power struggle. But to make change possible at this stage—do what works: initiation, romance, seduction, compliments, holding your temper,and helping your partner with the burden of life.
2) Accept developmental issues - some changes take more time. Newlyweds who are virgins just aren't going to have fabulous sex until they have a few years of experience. Adjustments to parenthood, menopause, male pause, retirement, moving, empty nest and recommitments can temporarily derail sex. Have traumatic memories emerged? Is your partner grieving the loss of a parent? Is he/she depressed? Patience is everything for a lifetime of good sex. Ignoring important life events is selfish and will cause your partner to withdraw from you.
Some people listen and exclaim, "Exactly!" They are fun to communicate with because it's like playing catch. You toss a ball and they catch it. "Yes!" It is so satisfying to talk with them and everything flows. They aren't faking being understood. Intuitively, super communicators know that understanding is a process and they very enthusiastically support every modicum of effort on their partner's part to "get it."
Other people are more anxious that they will never be understood. They are constantly correcting for perfection. Communication is tedious, interrupted. Sort of like barbed wire. Every whipstitch requires a detailed minor argument. Ugh. If you approach sex this same way, all the joy, fluidity, and feelings of satisfaction will be drained from the experience.
4) Accentuate the positive it - No one, no ONE, NO ONE!, likes to hear criticism in bed. If you can't say it with a positive spin, shrapnel will explode and damage every aspect of your sex life. Just stop. Shut up. Don't say anything. Finish this sentence... "I would love it in bed, if you..."
5) Act with integrity - sometimes this may mean saying, "I love you. I want you. If you don't want sex or sex with me then we need to break up." This is so scary. Especially if there are vows and children and mortgages. I'm not saying give an ultimatum, I'm saying: tell the truth. Never, ever say this unless you are absolutely at your end... like about-to-have-an-affair-with-the-secretary-end.
I'm asked, "Is it ever justified to end a marriage due to no sex?" First, let me say I have tremendous hope about helping people make sex hotter and better. I've seen lots of "no-sex" marriages recover. Sexual problems are always, always, always system problems... that means you contribute to the problems too.
But fidelity is a two-edged sword. It's a promise to stay away from all others and a way into an alive, erotic life with your partner.
Pick a timeframe and watch and see what happens. Don't listen to words; pay attention to actions. If your partner says they will do anything to change but don't go to therapy, read everything, and really struggle... reassess. Don't nag, simply observe. What happens without the push from your end. Check in with friends or a therapist to see if your expectations are unrealistic.
