Sorry for my english!
Bye ;)
I've been using this printer for over a month without issue. Just received the 6a80 Error. Shut off the printer like said, still have the error message.
same problem, not yet solved. I think it occurred following a paper jam
Been using this printer just fine, had a paper jam and then got this error, unplugged it, turned it back on and same thing. Any suggestions?
It is after a paper jam, looks like other people, I don't know
6A80 error reading after paper jam on MX-700, turned of unpluged and then turned back on with same error displaying. it seems the print head is locked in one position.
I just got this printer, haven't even used it yet, and I have this error and can't get rid of it. Needless to say, I'm ready to toss this thing in the freeway.
After incorrectly reporting the paper tray as empty, machine displayed Error 6a80. Tried turning off and on, unplugging. When scanner tray is open printhead does not move so cant follow suggested fix posted sep 09
I have the dame problem, cleaned everything, plugged it off and on, still the same problem... :-(((((
I have the same problem, cleaned everything, plugged off and on, still the same..... :-(((( Who can help?
new Canon MP620 first power on error 6A80!!
I have the same problem. Have tried opening and closing everything, there's definitely no paper jammed. I've only had the printer for 2 weeks.
Same problem
I have he same problem, open the scannere, check the rolls, un plug al wires and nothing happen, what can I do ?????????????
I have a Canon MX700 an just got a 6A80 error. I turned off the printer and then back on and got a 6502 error. Plz help
I cant get the printhead to move when i lift up the scanner cover
I have a Canon MP520 with this same error. When the scanning unit cover is raised and the print head unit is stuck on the left, look in the vacated area to the right, in particular the small black sponge where the head normally parks, push back the sponge head(s) with a small tweezer or screwdriver. Sometimes the sponge mechanism locks forward, so pushing it back will often correct the issue.
Error 6A80
I had this error and a Canon engineer showed me how to deal with this.
Basically there is an "App Sensor" which is reporting the issue in my case the problem was with the "Purge unit".
(a) Left up the cover to reveal the ink cartridges
(b) Move the ink / print head to the left hand side
(c) Look to the right under the flap where the ink would sit when printer is powered off
(d) underneath there is something in white that is flat - this is called a wiper.
(e) push this wiper with your fingers - pushing in the direction toward the front of the printer - you may need to do this a few times.
(f) power off and then power on (using button on the front and NOT by pulling the power out of the back)
Hopefully error should go after you attempt this a few times!

My husband's printer (just like mine) started doing this *6A80 code at his home office so he took mine! SOOOOO, I found the solution from this post and guess what it, it worked, fixed in five minutes, and he said he was going to buy a new printer - ha! I told him to just give me the $300!!! It is working fine now!
Really pleased to hear it worked. I don't know why this solution does not go on top.
Thank you so much! I opened the cover and when I moved the printer head, there was a small piece of paper that was preventing the wiper from moving back into position. As stated below, there is a black "button" that has a spring on it in front of the wiper - I pushed that down and pulled the wiper forward, removed the paper, then pushed the wiper BACK into place and the black button sprang back into place. Turned printer off then on and voila, fixed!! Thanks again!
Thanks! After 30 minutes of cleaning, and with my hands covered in ink, I finally pushed on the right thing - printer is working! Thank you!
This worked for me too. With the aid of a torch I saw a treasury tag had fallen into the slider mechanism which was preventing it from moving back and forth. I pulled the slider forward, pulled out the treasury tag, then pushed the slider back, turned the printer on again and was back in business. Thank you!
Yes worked for me too. I had a treasury tag (!) stuck in the slider mechanism which was stopping it from moving back. Removed tag, pushed slider back, turned printer on and everything was fine again. Thank you!
Did not find anything obstructing movement, but the second time I pushed the slider back, turned printer on and it worked!
I had this issue as well. i fixed it by moving the print cartridges to the far left, and on the far right there is a little white plastic tab that is spring loaded. i just puched this tab towards the front of the printer and realised it has jammed on me. after doing this i closed the lid and restarted the unit. worked straight away no more issues

We just bought this printer and got the same error message you all reported when we first turned it on - my boyfriend randomly managed to solve it by opening the front a rear paper draws, opening the scanner lid and the powering it up again, after various wiring and clunking noises it worked! Hope this helps some of you solve your problem too!

Same problem with a Canon MP540 fresh from the box. Turned out to be the print head unit was not returning fully to the home position ie extreme right. My Fix : When the scanning unit cover is raised the print head unit moves left for access, look in the vacated area to the right, in particular the small black sponge where the head normally parks. I found a small spring jammed in beside the sponge, removed it and all is well. Don't know what the spring was meant to do but everything is working fine without it.On the MP540 the head unit now glows red, presumably meaning all is well...

Left in the printer there is an ink pad that is not sitting properly. Push it down and the white thing backwards. now it should be working good.

I tried Nighthaze's solution, and that solved it exactly. I started up the printer, waited till the error popped up, then carefully pushed the printhead to the side. I then took the end of a ball point pen (no, not the business end, the blunt, non-writing end), and pushed down the frame of the sponge on the right side of the printer. It dropped back into place. After I turned the printer off, then on again, it started up just fine.

I had the problem on a PM630 with error 6A80: I just solved the Problem, there was a part of a paper below the print head unit on the right side.
After removing the particle the printer was working properly.

Its A tear down Boys There is a small white plastic guide behind the print head housing that is out of place.But you have to tear down to get to it. Takes about hour and stress level 9

Here's a step by step solution
Posted on Dec 08, 2008
I'm reparing printers. So, if you get this error after a paper jam, probably that paper was ripped inside, and one pice is stucked somewhere on a sensor. Usualy is the purge unit that clean up the print head, and it's located inside on the right side (printhead parking place).
Take a torch, lift up the scanner unit, with the unit ON, wait for the print head to come in the middle, move it to left to make more room, and check the right side, inside the unit.
Good luck !

This worked great for me! Thanks!!! Except I used a flashlight instead of a torch.
Thanks! Worked great for me!
Thank you Paul, that could not have worked out better. This was one of the VERY few times I've experienced an internet answer working out so well.
I also got this error, but there was no paper ripped inside. I had to completely disassemble the printer to find out that there was a problem with the vacuum device which is responsible for exhausting waste ink. It was only a little tube blocked with waste ink.
Posted on Mar 15, 2010
I had this error. I read all the previous solutions. My ink cartridge was not going all the way to the right. I found a torn piece of paper on the far right and a piece of tape that had not come all the way off the last ink cartridge I replaced. I think this error code comes up whenever the ink cartridge carrier gets jammed up on something.

SOURCE: My printer Canon PIXMA MX860 suddenly began
6A80 is a purge unit error, the purge unit is the cleaning assembly on the right where the printhead parks when shut down. If you can move the carriage out of the corner, use a flashlight and see if there are paper scraps or the like keeping the purge assembly from moving freely.

Metavante Technologies Inc. has agreed to offer a text-message mobile banking service developed by Monitise Americas LLC, its Providence, R.I., joint venture with the London mobile banking technology provider Monitise PLC.
Monitise Americas said last week that Metavante will be the first bank technology provider to deploy the system, which lets consumers use text messages to check their balances and receive alerts.
"By enabling this text messaging functionality, we are making money management via mobile phone available to virtually anyone," Frank D'Angelo, the president of Metavante's payment solutions group and the chairman of the board for Monitise Americas, said in a press release.
Monitise Americas also offers its mobile banking capabilities through an application that users download to their phones. The application allows people to initiate bill payments, transfer funds, and view transaction data.
Payments are routed through Metavante's debit system, NYCE Payments Network LLC.
According to a report Monitise Americas released last month, more than three-quarters of consumers want to be able to access data such as account balances and recent transactions at any time, and 90% of people said mobile phones are a good tool for doing so.

The ecological and social tragedy of crop-based biofuel production in the Americas

This papers addresses the ecological, social and economic implications of biofuel production. The authors argue that contrary to the false claims of corporations that promote these "green fuels," the massive cultivation of corn, sugar cane, soybean, oil palm and other crops presently pushed by the fuel crops industry - all to be genetically engineered - will not reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but will displace tens of thousands of farmers, decrease food security in many countries, and accelerate the deforestation and environmental destruction of the Global South.

Five "good" GCSEs
My wife has the misfortune to come from the North of England; Grimsby, of all unlikely places. In one area of that town, 93% of school leavers failed to pass five GCSEs at Grade C or above. For anybody at all familiar with the shockingly low standards needed to pass a GCSE at Grade C, this is more than a little staggering. My daughter and I have had many conversations about this with friends and their teenage children and we have often speculated as to how anyone could possibly manage not to get at least a C for English! Only 13% of the marks are awarded for spelling, grammar and punctuation. Even if you hardly knew the language, you could therefore still hope to gain 87% with a little effort.
Despite the horribly low standards of the GCSE and the frightful cheating which takes place under the guise of coursework, over one hundred and thirty five thousand children last year failed to pass even a single GCSE at Grade C or higher. Not one. This can be disasterous for them. A survey by the Learning and Skills Agency in 2007 discovered that 20% of employers would not even consider a job applicant with fewer than five GCSEs including English and Mathematics. Never mind about going to college and university, some of these kids are going to be hard pushed to get a job at McDonalds!
It is good that the Government are determined to drive up standards in home education, but with such terrible schools on offer they might spare a thought as to why some parents choose not to send their children there. If the average school were safe and provided a sound education, then perhaps home education would not be such an increasingly popular choice. There are many reasons why home education has grown exponentially in recent years, but the decline in the quality of British schools must surely be part of the explanation.

College may not be a problem, especially if you are interested in vocational courses such as mechanical engineering, IT, the arts, social care, business, public services, etc. There are plenty of level 1 BTEC courses that you can start without qualifications and use to move up to the next level.ReplyDelete
Ah, it's good to know that somebody is happy with the quality of education being offered by secondary schools in this country! Have you ever thought of a job as press officer for the DCSF?ReplyDelete
Not going to argue with you generally about the value of good GCSES (or else we wouldn't spend so much time or money doing them) but am going to have a dig at your comment on GCSE English langReplyDelete
"how anyone could possibly not manage to get a C" etc - just wanted to make you realise that it isn't all that straightforward for some - my dd has now taken IGCSE/GCSE eng lang 3 times and is the queen of the D grades- her spelling and grammar may be perfect (but as you say that is only 13% of the marks) but she cannot find the right answer to anything that requires "common sense".....so a question which asks something like "explain why Jonny tells Meg he is unhappy" may produce a beautifully written piece of nonsense. Yet the same girl can do A level maths and sciences without difficulty!!
As to school exam success though - yes, it may be the schools fault in that some teachers are poor... but some schools have what can only be described as dreadful catchment areas and families who care little about education..various proverbs come to mind... I don't think that anyone can force children to learn if the whole family/culture ethos is working against it.
I seem to recollect your saying that your daughter was on the autistic spectrum, Julie? Clearly, a question like the one you mention would be a disaster for her. In fact with the emphasis now on empathy in most subjects, I would be curious to know if she has had difficulty in any other topics. Every piece of work now seems to begin, "Imagine you are Romeo, how would you feel?" or "You are a peasant whose baby had just died of Black Death. How would it make you feel?" or even in geography, and this is a true example, "Abdul is nine years old and works a twelve hour day for 50P. How would you feel if that were your life?" I'm guessing that the reason that your daughter is a whizz at maths and science is becuase it deals, at least for now, with facts.ReplyDelete

I'm also going to take issue with 'how can anyone not get at least a 'C' in english'ReplyDelete
I did my GCSE's about 10 years ago at my local state school. I did generally well, getting 10 A* - Cs, with 'A*s' for sciences and an 'A' for maths but I think I did struggle to get my C for English.
I admit I now have problems with spelling and grammer sometimes (especially now I don't write very often) but not so much at school.
If I had difficulties getting a 'C' (as a reasonably intelligent person who has always read and loved books) then I think it is a lot harder than you think to get a 'C' grade.
Yep- geography was also tricky - the physical bits were fine (ie how are waterfalls formed) but all that social stuff which needed some understanding of why people behave as they do.... unfathomable to her - she has enough difficulty understanding why people she knows behave in such odd (to her) ways.ReplyDelete
Snowed up here -- got the BBC filming abandoned cars etc at nearby services (children keep staggering across road to have a look!) 100 cars stick on A3 next to us overnight and refugees camped out in local church.....

"Ah, it's good to know that somebody is happy with the quality of education being offered by secondary schools in this country! "ReplyDelete
Err, why would you make this assumption just because I pointed out that college is still open to young people (despite your suggestion otherwise) even after schools have failed them? I can't see the connection.
I said "Never mind about college and university", which was meant to suggest that this was not a topic which I was going to pursue. However, you are quite right. Some vocational course are accessible to children without GCSEs. It is a pity that so many though are being denied the opportunity to study A levels and move on to academic subjects at university. I still maintain that secondary education in this country is in a lamentable state and that this might well contribute to the growing numbers of parents who choose to educate their own children at home.ReplyDelete

"It is a pity that so many though are being denied the opportunity to study A levels and move on to academic subjects at university."ReplyDelete
Or it could be an indication of the numbers more suited to a vocational route? Obviously an academic route is not going to suit all children, yet schools seem to channel most children down this route with the inevitable result that many of them will fail.

Police investigating spate of burglaries
Tuesday, 26 September 2017
POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a spate of burglaries in South Down and South Armagh in recent days.
It was reported that sometime overnight on Wednesday, September 20, entry was forced into a shop on Windmill Street in Ballynahinch. Damage was caused to a shutter of the shop and a sum of cash stolen.
Sometime overnight on Wednesday night entry was forced to a house on Tanmaghmore Road outside Ballynahinch. It is not yet known what was stolen.
Sometime overnight, again on Wednesday night, entry was forced to licensed premises on the Hilltown Road in Kilcoo. It is not believed that anything was stolen during the incident.
It was reported that sometime between 9pm and 10.45pm on Wednesday entry was forced to a shop on the Concession Road in Crossmaglen. An electric hob was stolen as a result.
It was reported that sometime between Tuesday, September 18, and Thursday, September 21, entry was gained to an unoccupied property on Church Street in Downpatrick and a petrol Stihl saw stolen.
Detective Sergeant Johnston said: "We are appealing for anyone who witnessed any of the incidents or anyone with any information that can assist with the investigation to contact detectives in Downpatrick on 101. Information can also be passed anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
"Be assured we robustly pursue those who wish to target local householders and businesses and will continue to do so. We would also ask the public to continue to report any suspicious activity immediately with as much information as possible.
"Burglaries are a violation of the things people hold most dear - the possessions they've worked hard to buy and to enjoy as well as the items of sentimental value they cherish. I would appeal to property owners not to take security for granted. When you leave the property, make sure all the doors and windows are locked and secure and always keep your keys safe. Always keep your doors and windows locked and ensure you can identify callers before you open the door.
"We would also asked the business community to ensure they have appropriate security measures in place. There are a range of simple and effective measures worth taking to ensure your business stays crime-free.
"Reduce the amount of cash you have in your tills regularly and make sure you transfer it to a safe - preferably in an occupied office. Have your money taken to a bank frequently by a recognised Cash in Transit (CIT) company. This ensures your money has the safest possible journey to your bank, reducing the risk of it being stolen.
"You should also consider a 'drop' safe. This is where you can keep money that is due to be lodged at a bank until a CIT company comes to collect it. Its access can be limited to just two people, including the CIT company staff.
"Once the money has been dropped into the safe, only authorised individuals can get access to it. The safe should be located in a secure room.
"Being a good neighbour is one of the best deterrents, as criminals and thieves can't operate if they know their every move is being watched. As it only takes a few minutes to commit a burglary, the importance of promptly reporting of all suspicious activity to the police should be obvious.
"I would also ask anyone who notices suspicious activity in their neighbourhood to call us immediately as this could prevent someone from becoming a victim of crime."

Grants are available to not-for-profit organisations in the UK for practical projects that tackle critical challenges in health and social care, make a direct impact on people's health and wellbeing and address the Foundation's theme for that year.
It is expected that around 12 to 15 grants will be awarded in this funding round.
The majority of grants are for £20,000 or less. A small number of grants may be awarded within the £20,000 to £50,000 range, and occasionally grants of more than £50,000 are awarded.
Grant recipients will receive an additional 15% on top of grant funding awarded as a contribution towards core costs. This contribution is therefore unrestricted funding for successful applicants to use however they wish.

Over the last few days, I had been doing quite well cooking some "new" recipes.
So, today, I wanted to make a sandwich I had made before. I was confident I could make it from memory. Now, a clue that things were not going quite right was the fact I started making a batch of pasta. But, I missed the clue.
Then, I chopped some garlic and onions and started browning them. Then, I decided maybe I should look at the recipe just to make sure.
After perusing a few recipes, I realized I had three recipes in mind, not one. One was a cabbage dish, another was a sandwich and the other was a tomato soup recipe.
When I realized my error, I tried to salvage the situation. I continued making the pasta, no problem there. But, what was I going to do with the cooked garlic and onions.
I decided to try and add them to the original sandwich recipe I had thought of, "SPAM Applely" where you just fry a slice of SPAM, make a mayo, garlic and parmesan sauce and add apple slices. I added one-half of the cooked garlic and onions to the sauce and made the sandwich. Was it eatable? That is a matter of opinion -- all I can say is I ate it.
I added the other half of the cooked garlic and onions to the pasta and added lots of basil and a bit of olive oil. That dish survived.
I do not recall many recipe writers or cooks who talk about their failures.
While learning to make nutritious, frugal, tasty meals is important, so is salvaging a mistake.
The silver lining in this experience is I managed to wash the dishes as I prepared these items. No dirty dishes in the sink when I finished! That is a triumph in itself.

Day of Solidarity with Belarus
(16/02-2011) Norwegian Helsinki Committee the 16th of each month marks Day of Solidarity with Belarus. We demand from Belarusian authorities the immediate release of all detainees held in the aftermath of the 19 December events and a total end to the wave of arrests, harassment and searches of human rights activists, lawyers and journalists in Belarus.
The 19 December 2010 Presidential elections culminated in the unprecedented repression of opposition leaders, activists, journalists, human rights defenders and ordinary citizens of Belarus. Incumbent president Aleksandr Lukashenko declared himself the winner of the elections with 79.7 % of the vote, granting him a fourth term as the president of the republic. More than 10 000 citizens protested on the evening of 19th December at what is perceived by national and international observers as unfair and falsified elections. The same night, at least 639 participants of at the protest rally were beaten and detained, and later convicted to administrative penalties. Hundreds served up to 15 days of detention. At present, 42 political leaders are accused and 12 more suspected in criminal cases of participating in or organizing mass riots, risking up to 15 years in prison. Among them we find six of the ten presidential candidates as well as journalists. Belarusian authorities show a total disregard for the right to defense of the many detainees, who are isolated in KGB prison facilities or forced to house arrest without access to the outside world, including their lawyers.
A climate of fear has spread throughout Belarus and those addressing the repression are harassed by police interrogations, cases of illegal searches and confiscation of property targeting NGO activists, journalists, lawyers and other individuals who have e.g. been subject to administrative arrests in the past. This is particularly worrying as the activity of unregistered NGOs in Belarus is criminalized and authorities prevent NGOs from registering.
A full list of all suspects and their status can be found on the web site of the Human Rights Center Viasna.
Background for the campaign: The international action Day of Solidarity started in Belarus October 16, 2005 in memory of the disappearance of Victar Gonchar and Anatoly Krasovsky on 16 September 1999, and has since been marked as a Day of Solidarity with all victims of the repression by the regime of Aleksandr Lukashenko.

Chile's premier wine producer is a global ambassador for world-class Chilean wines and the benchmark by which others are judged. Founded in 1883, Concha y Toro was the first Chilean producer to introduce fine wines made from French grape varieties. Today, Concha y Toro spans over a dozen estates located throughout the premier wine regions of Chile.
From the beginning, Concha y Toro has led the way in pioneering innovations designed to enhance the overall quality and worldwide respect enjoyed by Chilean fine wines. Throughout, consistent emphasis has been placed on identifying optimum growing locations for each grape variety. Concha y Toro's founders were the first to identify and champion the star potential of Chile's individual wine regions and unique terroirs.
Quality-oriented initiatives include harvesting fruit block by block, rather than bundling them together. Though costly, it enables the winemaker to determine exactly how to manage each parcel of land. Suchattention to detail and quality has come to be expected from Concha y Toro, a producer with triple honors as the leading name in world-class Chilean wines, one of the world's pre-eminent fine wine producers and South America's largest wine exporter.

The One with the Cruise Ship Video
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
If you've got six minutes to spare, watch this crazy video of a cruise ship kitchen being destroyed by the weather. It gets really crazy at the 4.5 minute mark. There's no sound either, what you see is what you get. I don't know if I'll ever go on a boat again!

Netflix and similar services are great for movie fans and TV addicts alike – but, if you do not want to pay for your shows, there are ways of watching them on the Internet for free… and legally! Introducing Butter, a project from the creators of the legendary Popcorn Time, an app for watching torrent files without downloading them.
You can relax though, while the legality of Popcorn Time was questionable (since it infringed on intellectual property laws), the same cannot be said of Butter, which will offer free streaming video.
Butter, which is currently under development, will have the same aesthetics and functionality as Popcorn Time. The difference is that copyrighted videos will have their authors' consent to be distributed free of charge on the service.
This said, it appears that Butter will be better suited to offer videos by new creators and independent artists, who are more interested in having their shows and movies seen than in making money from of them.
Keep in mind that, although mortally wounded, – it has been banned multiple times – Popcorn Time still exists. This is because its developer believes that there is nothing wrong with distributing content owned by third parties. He explains this by saying that, in his country, copyright and intellectual property laws are barely recognized.
Does Butter seem like a good idea to you? Will you use it, or stick to other apps?

Saudi Arabia has paid Pakistan $1.5bn to ensure the country will not sell arms to Syria, an adviser to Pakistani Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has revealed.
Adviser on national security and foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz told the Pakistani Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday that Pakistan had accepted the Saudi gift on the condition it not send arms to any country in civil war, particularly Syria, English newspaper Daily Times reported.
Senior officials at the Pakistani finance ministry and central bank had said last week that the money was to boost the country's falling foreign currency reserves and help cement security ties between the two countries.
In February a senior Pakistani intelligence official told the Financial Times that Saudi Arabia was seeking "a large number of [Pakistan] troops to support its campaign along the Yemeni border and for internal security".
The official also said the $1.5bn agreement, reached during a visit by Saudi Prince Salman last month, involved Pakistan's support for establishing a "transitional governing body" in Syria. Islamabad had previously remained neutral in the Syrian crisis.
Aziz told the Senate the $1.5bn was "gifted money".
The Senate committee was unsatisfied with the adviser's explanation and also called for maintaining relations with Iran, a traditional foe of Saudi Arabia, saying ties with one should not be at the cost of the other. Pakistan has traditionally had a balanced relationship with both the Sunni majority Saudi Arabia and the Shia majority Iran.
Saudi Arabia is staunchly opposed to Syrian President Bashar Al Assad and is believed to be funding some opposition groups.
Earlier this month the kingdom withdrew its ambassador to Qatar – a fellow Gulf Cooperation Council member – for reasons including differing views on Syria, with the countries backing different opposition groups.For all the latest banking and finance news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Developmental disabilities services providers get their say on Capitol HillMarch 01, 2013
The America Health Care Association will host its annual Developmental Disabilities Providers Congressional fly-in event Wednesday in the nation's capital. In the morning, healthcare providers serving this population will hear from top guest speakers and also receive an overview of current legislative issues facing them. Visits to legislators are on tap for the afternoon. These are special opportunities to meet with lawmakers, and their key staff members, who can impact policy for DD residents and caregivers.
Providers tackle Capitol Hill in person to try to prevent funding cutsApril 24, 2012
Preventing further reimbursement cuts, home- and community-based services, and housing will be the main topics of conversation Tuesday, when long-term care providers personally visit dozens of their respective U.S. lawmakers in Washington.

Paris, France, 24-4-2014 — /EuropaWire/ — Yesterday evening Kering was awarded the Global Leadership Award in Sustainable Apparel (GLASA) for the development of the Environmental Profit and Loss account (E P&L) and its decision to implement this in its Luxury and Sport & Lifestyle brands. Kering's E P&L is a pioneering natural capital accounting and reporting system that places a monetary value on the environmental impacts that result from a business's activities not only within its own operations but along the entire supply chain.
The motivation
When Kering and its brand PUMA developed and published the first-ever Environmental Profit and Loss account in 2011 for PUMA's 2010 results, the companies placed natural capital valuation on the agenda for the apparel industry and put forth a bold and inspiring vision for the sector. Kering has since refined and improved the E P&L methodology and is currently implementing E P&L's in its 22 Luxury and sport & lifestyle brands, which means that the E P&L has evolved into a concrete management framework and financial tool that will be a benchmark for the entire industry. The jury awarded the 2014 GLASA to Kering in recognition of the group's continuing bold and visionary leadership, and most importantly, for its long-term commitment to following through on what it has started.
"We are honoured to receive the GLASA Award for our E P&L and the work we are doing to promote Natural Capital accounting for businesses," said Marie-Claire Daveu, Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of international institutional affairs, Kering. "We developed the E P&L so that we could have a deep understanding of our own impacts and dependencies on natural capital, but we also consider it essential for businesses more broadly to be accountable for their use of natural capital. This knowledge serves not only to minimize risks and impacts, but even more importantly to seize opportunities to create positive outcomes for business, environment and society."
The GLASA is a sustainability and leadership award. Launched in 2013, it aims to inspire bold and courageous leadership in the apparel sector and to mobilize key stakeholders around promising ideas or practices that can substantially improve sustainability performance in the apparel industry. The theme for the 2014 award is Natural Capital Accounting.
GLASA is an initiative from The Sustainable Fashion Academy (SFA) and it is supported by organizations like The Antonia Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Sustainable Development, Association of Swedish Fashion Brands (ASFB), and the Prince of Wales International Sustainability Unit.
"Until we begin to assign monetary values to environmental and social externalities, market dynamics will continue to devalue nature and social welfare. But if we use the language and tools that markets and financial actors understand, we significantly increase our ability to demonstrate where real value lies. This is crucial for the apparel industry, which relies on natural and human resources for its continued success," says Michael Schragger, initiator of GLASA and Director of SFA.
GLASA Advisory Board
The advisory board consists of renowned leaders working with the global apparel industry. The advisory board acts as a jury when deciding upon the award winner.
Kajsa Guterstam, Deputy General Secretary, ASFB
Carolina Sachs, General Secretary, The Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Sustainable Development
Helena Helmersson, Head of Sustainability, H&M
Anette Andersson, Investment Management, SEB
Alan AtKisson, CEO, AtKisson Group, Member, President's Science and Technology Advisory Council (PSTAC), European Commission
Sanna Due-Sjöström, Chairman, Nordic Waste Group & Senior Advisor, The Swedish EPA
Jonas Eder-Hansen, Vice President, Danish Fashion Institute
Jason Kibbey, Executive Director, The Sustainable Apparel Coalition
Cary Krosinsky, Executive Director, Network for Sustainable Financial Markets
Sarah Nolleth, Director, The Prince's Accounting for Sustainability Project
Laura Partridge, The Prince's Charities' International Sustainability Unit
Liesl Truscott, Director Europe & Farm Engagement Textile Exchange
Pat Nie-Woo, Director, Central textiles & Chairman of the Sustainable Fashion Business Consortium (SFBC)
The Environmental Profit and Loss account
The E P&L provides a full analysis of a company's footprint in the key areas of water use and water pollution, waste, greenhouse gas, other air emissions and land use and places a monetary value on it, which then offers a clearer understanding of the relationship between the business and natural capital. Kering and its brand PUMA developed and published the first-ever E P&L in 2011 for PUMA's 2010 accounting year and Kering is currently implementing E P&L's in its 22 Luxury and Sport & lifestyle brands to consolidate a Group E P&L in 2016.

Educational Forum To Highlight Second Annual World Congress & Exposition On Disabilities
PARAMUS, NJ - The second annual World Congress & Exposition on Disabilities (WCD) will continue the tradition established last year by providing a precedent-setting conference for all segments of the disabilities community. During the intensive three-day educational experience, opinion leaders in medicine, science, education, research, technology, and product development will exchange information and ideas on today's most important issues facing people with disabilities, their families and caregivers as well as healthcare professionals and educators involved in their care and development. The conference (www.wcdexpo.com) will take place September 28-30, 2001 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, GA.
"The response to last year's program was extraordinary," says Frank Murphy, president and CEO of the EP Foundation for Education, Inc.(EPFE), which is producing the conference program. "With more than 54 million people with disabilities in the United States alone, there is definitely a need to provide a forum for all professionals in this community to meet and discuss issues alongside parents and children, as well as adults who have disabilities. The WCD allows us to shine the spotlight on this enormous, yet frequently invisible, segment of our population, while providing much-needed hands-on knowledge and raising the public's awareness of the needs, advancements, and potential contributions members of the disabilities community can make."
Supported by the National Institutes of Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Child Neurology Society, the National Perinatal Association, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Marcus Institute and other professional societies and associations, as well as PALAESTRA magazine and AAALF, the educational forum will benefit many different sectors of the disabilities community: physicians and other healthcare professionals; educators, including special education teachers, administrators, and disability service providers; people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers; and those involved in adapted physical education.
Within the forum, more than 100 sessions reviewed by the EPFE Educational Advisory Board will address a myriad of topics. Areas of focus will include Project DOCC, ADD and ADHD, autism, universal newborn screening, IDEA and IEP, aquatic and movement programs, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities, movement disorders and spasticity, PE modifications for students with physical disabilities, and mitochondrial and metabolic disorders. Other topics including transitioning, the role of the direct support professional, legal rights, estate planning and life needs, diabetes, adapted PE equipment, pain management, epilepsy and seizure disorders, spina bifida, and reimbursement will also be highlighted.
In addition to the education forum, WCD will also feature a career fair, an assitive technology learning center and a sports & recreation activity center, organized by the U.S. Disabled Athletes Fund (USDAF), with contributions by Special Olympics and PALAESTRA and sponsored by McDonald's Corporation. Attendees will also have an opportunity to examine the latest products and services from more than 250 exhibitors representing pharmaceutical, computer, automotive, mobility, personal care, insurance and nutrition industries.
As with last year's conference, Continuing Medical Education accreditation for designated seminars will be offered through the Emory University School of Medicine. Continuing Education Units (CEU) accreditation will be awarded for OT's, PT's, speech and language pathologists, adapted physical education specialists, and social workers through local chapters of national associations with the assistance of the Marcus Institute. CEU accreditation for educators will be awarded by the Council for Exceptional Children.
About the World Congress & Exposition on Disabilities
Now in its second year, the World Congress & Exposition on Disabilities provides a comprehensive forum to educate, inform, and provide a useful exchange of ideas for persons with disabilities and special healthcare needs, as well as for those involved in their care and development. The event is organized by H.A. Bruno, LLC, a company whose senior management was previously associated with Blenheim Group, PLC, the world's largest trade show company and producer of more than 400 shows worldwide. The conference portion of the program is produced by the EP Foundation for Education, Inc., a 501(C)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities, special healthcare needs and chronic conditions, and the families and others involved in their care and development.

Baja community begins where the land ends
Waves rush over a pebbled beach as the tensions of city life melt away. The Mexican sun hangs languidly overhead, bleaching colorful kayaks stacked along the shoreline. Hovering far off in the deep blue skies, parasailors are dwarfed by the arriving Carnival cruise ship that will soon drop anchor off the rocky coast.
It's easy to understand why celebrities like John Wayne, Desi Arnaz and Bing Crosby were drawn here — yet kept it a secret for nearly 20 years after the 1956 opening of The Palmilla, the area's first resort catering to sportfishing enthusiasts.
Located at the tip of Baja California, Cabo San Lucas is at the western end of what has become a 20-mile corridor of hotels and gated communities known collectively as Los Cabos, bookended in the east by the airport-adjacent town of San José del Cabo. The tiny fishing village has given way to beaches lined with luxury hotels and a notorious nightlife, but the laid-back seaside attitude still hangs in region's salty air.
World-class golf courses, sportfishing, scuba diving, horseback riding, hiking and desert tours are all popular draws, as Cabo enjoys 350 days of sun annually. From December to April, gray whales migrate here to calve their young, and this year's addition of the Cabo Dolphins center to the Cabo San Lucas marina adds the opportunity for visitors to swim with Pacific bottlenose dolphins (reservations are required).
Since tourism continues to boom here, drawing upward of 1 million guests each year, construction projects are part of the backdrop along the corridor, much like the Vegas Strip.
Many of the 100,000 permanent residents are retirees from north of the border, so this decidedly Mexican resort destination has an increasingly American sensibility. A plethora of U.S. retail chains and restaurants — including Johnny Rockets and Hard Rock Cafe — have set up shop in area malls and shopping centers, and even lox is now readily available at the local Costco.
Once the secret of Cabo was out, it seemed that there were few surprises left. But in the last year a very visible and increasingly vibrant Jewish community is taking shape where the land meets the sea.
While the exact number of Jews living here is not known, a communitywide Passover seder earlier this year at the Villa Del Palmar attracted more than 100 guests, and Shabbat services on the last weekend of each month routinely draws between 30 to 50 people to a donated third-floor space in the contemporary Puerto Paraiso shopping center.
Los Cabos is such a boomtown it has few natives. Jews attending community events hail from all over — America, Israel, Argentina, South Africa and other Mexican states. But the diversity has led to some communication problems.
"Israelis here don't speak Spanish, and some Argentineans don't speak English. So there's no one language [that we have] in common," said Rabbi Mendel Polichenco, who has conducted religious services in Cabo San Lucas over the last year. "When I give a dvar Torah, I don't know what language to use. I do half English and half Spanish usually."
Polichenco, director of Chula Vista-based Chabad Without Borders, says U.S., Israeli and Argentinean employees at Diamonds International have been spreading word about the religious services, as well as Adriana Kenlan, an English news broadcaster on Cabo Mil Radio.
But the person he credits with being at the forefront of Jewish organizing in Los Cabos is David Greenberg of Senor Greenberg's Mexicatessen.
Greenberg, a 37-year-old L.A. native who grew up in the Conservative movement, came to Los Cabos in January 1992 to consider whether he would attend law school and never left. He knocked around in construction and restaurant management jobs and spent three years as a consular agent for the U.S. State Department. But after meeting Jim Sutter, the two became business partners and decided to open an upscale New York-style deli together in Cabo San Lucas. After getting pointers from Art Ginsburg of Art's Deli in Studio City, the pair opened the first Senor Greenberg's in the Plaza Nautica in October 1997, followed by a second location at Puerto Paraiso in September 2004.
"Next thing I know, I've got another restaurant, I'm married, I have a son," said Greenberg, whose Mazatlan-born wife, Karla, converted through the University of Judaism.
As if his life wasn't busy enough already with 11-month-old Joshua and a third Senor Greenberg's scheduled to open this month in Plaza Gali near Cabo Dolphins, Greenberg is working hard to establish a Jewish presence in Cabo.
Real estate developer José Galicot, who is based out of San Diego and Tijuana, has provided the funds for Polichenco's visits, he said. But that money was only intended as a stopgap and will dry up at the end of this year.
"It's going to be up to us to see it through to 2007," said Greenberg, who added that he expects developing a self-sufficient community here will be challenging.
Securing a permanent space at Puerto Paraiso for the Baja Jewish Community Center is the next step, he said. Hebrew classes, as well as Spanish lessons for Israelis, will be offered there, in addition to religious services. As far as future spiritual leadership, Greenberg hopes to track down a retired rabbi who would want to spend Jewish holidays in Cabo. And then there's the matter of finding a Torah that would be stored at the center.
A Torah scroll already exists in Los Cabos, at the five-star Marquis Los Cabos, some 20 minutes east of Cabo San Lucas, where Mexico City-based proprietor Jose Kalach has set up a prayer room in his hotel, complete with a small ark. But the Torah is intended primarily for the Kalach family's personal use. Hotel guests and wedding parties can use it, but a written request must be filed with the hotel at least one month prior. Since the sanctuary is attached to a conference room, scheduling conflicts can make availability less certain.
Opened in 2003, this Condé Nast gold list hotel was designed by Jewish Mexican architect Jacobo Micha, who modeled the hotel's open-air arch entrance after El Arco, or the Arch of Poseidon, a famous 200-foot natural passageway at the tip of the Baja peninsula that travelers can walk through at low tide. Statues of winged angels stand at the ready in the hotel's entrance and throughout the property (photo below).

HMS Hood
Email this page to a friend
After the outbreak of World War II, Hood saw action in a variety of theaters, including the North Sea, the chase of Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and convoy duty. Hood was in the attack on the French fleet at the Battle of Mers el-Kébir on July 3, 1940, and then returned to the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow. On May 22, 1941, Hood (Captain R. Kerr) sailed as the flagship of Vice Admiral L. E. Holland's Battle Cruiser Force, which included HMS Prince of Wales and six destroyers, to intercept the German battleship Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. The four heavy units made visual contact at 0537 on May 24, and Hood opened fire fifteen minutes later. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen scored hits on Hood and at 0600 there was a massive explosion; the ship split in two and sank four minutes later. Prince of Wales quickly broke off the engagement, and destroyers later picked up three survivors from a total complement of 1,418 men. One of the largest warships in the world, Hood was destroyed exactly one week shy of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Jutland, the lessons of which had been so consciously applied to her design. Although a number of theories about the exact cause of her loss have been advanced, it is widely believed that plunging fire from Bismarck penetrated her weak deck armor to ignite one of her magazines.

McCoy considered day to day
Bills' running back LeSean McCoy did not practice Wednesday and was called "day to day" by head coach Sean McDermott.
"We're just going to take it one day at a time right now," McDermott said.
McCoy injured his ankle and was carted off the field early in the second half in the team's 22–16 win over the Miami Dolphins Sunday. If he can't play this weekend in their AFC wildcard matchup at the Jacksonville Jaguars, Marcus Murphy and Mike Tolbert will most likely have to carry the load running the football.
Murphy had been on the Bills' practice squad since October, but was signed to the active roster last week after RB Travaris Cadet was placed on Injured Reserve.
"He's a player that Brandon [Beane] and his staff had scouted," McDermott said of Murphy. "He's had experience in this league. He's gotten varsity reps before, both on the offensive side and special teams. (He) made a big play against the Panthers (for the New Orleans Saints) when I was there in the special teams phase on the return unit. He's been out there before, and I thought he handled himself well this past weekend.
"Next man up. That's what we've done all year. You never replace a player like LeSean. I've got a lot of confidence in Mike Tolbert and Murph, and whoever else we put in the backfield. They did a nice job this past weekend and I expect them to do the same moving forward."

MIAMI—Presidential candidate Marco Rubio spoke as the guest of honor at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner in his hometown on Saturday night.
Many in the sold-out crowd of 700 attendees passed by a group of about 20 protestors outside of the Doubletree Hotel at the Miami International Airport. One woman held a sign with a girl's picture surrounded by the caption: "Marco Rubio: Will You Deport This U.S. Citizen's Mom?" A group held a banner with a message in Spanish that translates to: "Rubio's dream is our nightmare."
Despite the interest of the pro-immigration demonstrators, the Republican senator did not address amnesty or border reform in his speech. Nor did Rubio mention his fellow Floridian Jeb Bush, who recently announced his presidential candidacy but did not, notably, speak at the annual Miami-Dade Republican Party event. Instead, Rubio addressed Obamacare, taxes, energy, and human rights around the world—obliquely addressing immigration in a discussion about the American Dream of his parents.
"We will repeal and replace Obamacare before it repeals and replaces any more American jobs," Florida's junior senator told the audience.
He promised that a Rubio administration would help America "lead the world in producing oil and natural gas," "end the dangerous cuts to our military," "not forget those in jail in Tehran, Moscow, Havana, and Caracas," and "appoint an attorney general and judges who will defend all Americans, including those who hold traditional values."
Rubio's message perhaps resonated most when he shifted from public policy to his personal history.
"My father worked at a portable bar in back of a hotel ballroom like this so I could be in front of the room at a podium like this," the son of Cuban immigrants told the heavily Latino crowd. He added elsewhere, "I was told it wasn't my turn to be president. But I was also told it wasn't my turn to be a senator in 2009."
In a recent Quinnipiac poll, Rubio outperformed all other Republican presidential aspirants in a head-to-head with Hillary Clinton save for Rand Paul. The Kentucky senator trailed the former secretary of state 46 percent to 42 percent, Rubio trailed 45 to 41, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Saturday night's Man Who Was Not There, grabbed 37 percent to Mrs. Clinton's 47 percent.
Ever the optimist, about his country and his chances to lead it, Senator Rubio maintained in his speech: "I believe we are one election from the greatest era in American history."

This Thursday residents in Tower Hamlets will vote for the borough's first ever elected Mayor. Labour's candidate Lutfur Rahman was recently sacked after links with Islamic extremists were revealed. As a result Mr Rahman is now standing as an independent.
The election in Tower Hamlets is fought on the AV system and Ken Livingstone is supporting and campaigning with Rahman. Livingstone has been negatively encouraging non-Tory voters in Tower Hamlets to use their preference votes for Rahman to keep the Tories out.
Livingstone's actions are probably a precursor to what would actually happen in every election fought under AV rules.
Meanwhile, a bid to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in next year's referendum on changing the voting system to AV, was defeated on Monday night.
MPs voted by 346 to 196 against lowering the voting age for the referendum on whether to replace the current first-past-the-post system with the alternative vote (AV). The Liberal Democrats are now under fire for not supporting the bid, after they called for the voting age to be lowered to 16 in their general election manifesto.

It's peacetime now and Dorothy is Miss Relenas aide, sitting pretty in the outer office. She cannot keep track of the days anymore; they all seem the same to her. One violent death is enough to make headlines on a slow newsday. Dorothy remembers when there used to be thousands. When she ruled the army of mobile dolls and was courted for her advice and her military force.
She can hear someone come down the hallway and puts on her polite smile for Miss Relenas ten oclock. But the girl limping through the open door isnt Lady Une, even if she does carry a red rose in her corsage. She's a slight, almost childlike figure and she leans heavily on a stick. A row of angry red stitches is half hidden by the unruly mop of purple hair.
"Good morning," Dorothy says automatically. "Do you have an appointment, Ms ?"
"You should be in jail," the girl says, slamming down her fist on the desktop. The L2 accent is thick with emotion. "How come they let you walk?"
Dorothy doesnt have any ready answer for that question. After capture, she sat in her cell, waiting for her trial. She would eat, sleep, stare at the ceiling and think about how the drums would drown out the sound of gunfire as she crumpled against the brick wall. Then Miss Relena showed up one day, sat down on the bunk and said things about their time together in Cinque, peacetime, second chances, new starts and how she needed an aide really badly. Dorothy knew the last part was true and so she went along with it.
"I slipped through the cracks," she says, still smiling, but no longer polite. "Who are you?"
"Someone you tried to kill, you murderous bitch."
The blue eyes are steely and Dorothy hasnt felt this alive in weeks, maybe months. The girl has the stance of a soldier. Perhaps she has come armed. Perhaps Dorothys own blood will spray the walls and soak the ancient Persian rugs at their feet in a matter of seconds. How exciting that would be.
"There were so many," she says with studied nonchalance.
Indeed, there were thousands upon thousands until Quatre Raberba Winner came to wrest the Zero System from her, then, in his exquisite, infinite cruelty, left her alive. His friend, who isnt Trowa Barton, would have killed her, but Winner wouldn't have it.
"Treize kept count," the girl says, voice low and dangerous. "Whatever else he did, he knew who had died for him and who had died by him. Who was wounded and who could still fight."
She rips the rose from her breast and throws it on the floor, like a challenge. Red petals scatter.
"My name is Hilde Schbeiker," she says, "and you can start with me."
Then she's gone. Dorothy listens for the uneven gait until it fades into the distance.
Slowly, hesitantly, she picks up a pen.

Memo, Tebo, and Julie eventually became my best friends. Sure, I had actual, tangible friends – I wasn't really a loner at school or in other social situations, but at home, I definitely was.
Between my mother's understandable desire for "adult time" and my brother's obvious disdain for his younger sister's presence, Memo, Tebo, and Julie were really my only choice. Of course, there was also Barbie and Ken. The thing about Barbie, though, was that I had nothing in common with her, nor did I ever have some warped sense of "I need to look like her." My mother was very good at making me feel good about my external beauty, as well as my internal, but even when the world and my peers were telling me there was something wrong with me, some sort of flaw or imperfection unfit for a fashion magazine or even a third grade yearbook photo, my mother was there assuring me otherwise. She was instilling the confidence I'd need to navigate a society that constantly tells an impressionable young woman what she should strive to attain in terms of outward beauty. Most of the time, these impositions are unrealistic.
In the third grade, the teacher placed our yearbook photos face up on our desks as I had gotten up to grab my belongings at the coat rack. As I spun around to return to my desk, a crowd of students had gathered around my desk, their stubby, little eight-year-old fingers pointing down at what was obviously my yearbook photo, their childish snickers audible from across the room. I reluctantly approached to see what the fuss was and there I was – buck-toothed and shut-eyed, smiling from ear to ear against a wicker backdrop, resembling a beaver more than ever before – the rodent my brother had likened me to at every chance he got.
The hot tears instantly reared their wet, ugly heads in the corners of my eyes as I pushed my way through the mean-spirited crowd, quickly flipping the photo over, and becoming angry with the teacher for placing them face up. My third-grade self needed someone to be angry with and I'd found the culprit as fast as the camera had found my Bugs Bunny smile.
My brother spent much of my single digit youth reminding me of the animal I most closely resembled and attempting to break me down. He was admittedly jealous of me his entire life and his deliberate insults were most likely a product of this complex emotion. At such an early age, though, I couldn't piece those correlations together quite yet, so my brother's affection and approval was continually sought even after he would chuck a basketball at my chest so hard, it would knock the wind out of me. His cute friend scolding him for throwing it so aggressively was a nice solace in a moment of such direct disapproval from someone I desperately looked up to.
It took me exactly thirty-two years to fully realize that behavior is more telling in matters of family than blood. And for thirty-two years, my brother's behavior has told me that he doesn't want me to be a part of his life. Perhaps the ultimate telling of this revelation was this past Christmas, my thirty-second birthday, when he failed to wish me a happy birthday. I was in Peru, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt as I've done so many times in the past, and thought I'd surely come home to a greeting card. I didn't. My first thought was that for thirty-one years, he was always the first one to wish me a "Happy Birthday" in my immediate family. My second thought was that I should have realized the first time he called me beaver he wasn't someone I should be looking up to.

Since the savings dropped off I haven't done much of a round up.
The month started with a fair old bit of spending with the dining table, sideboard and chest of drawers, Dan also splurged on some very much needed work shoes from Wills. The only other real expense we've had is a birthday gift for my niece and that ended up being half price *hooray*.
We received our compensation from the water company, which has gone into savings, we didn't have to pay for someone to repair the washing machine. Dan bought two editions of the local paper in order to get some £10 train tickets which will save us a nice amount when we go to Manchester next month. The extra bonus of the newspaper is that I used it to absorb most of the water that came out of the washing machine yesterday! I received the first of my 3 for £3 magazines along with two packets of seeds, and I've arranged a seed swap with Father. Dan was in and out of the hospital so quickly the other day that he didn't need to pay for parking (the first 30 minutes are free).
There's just under half of the grocery/household budget left, and with a rejiggle of the menu plan (not much of one) much of that should be left at the end of the month. With working through the food we already have in we might even be able to finally defrost the freezer, something very much needed.
So we're dribbing and drabbing bits of money into the savings pots at the minute, I'm happy about that October will be a big month for savings, probably the last one of the year, then we'll be planning to get going again in January.

Page promotes our region's people, places
IT STARTED out as a simple idea involving family and friends, and now it's expanded to involve all of Toowoomba.
Kim Cahill has lived in Toowoomba her whole life and her family has been in the Darling Downs since the mid 1800s.
She has a passion for the region and a desire to be involved in the community.
It was a combination of these that gave her the idea to start to Toowoomba and Darling Downs Facebook page.
The page started five weeks ago and focuses on connecting with people, places, events, food and businesses in the region.
She features profiles of every-day people who make Toowoomba what it is, including small business owners, parents and young people.
The page also features different events, places and businesses.
Mrs Cahill said she was able to meet so many amazing new people.
"I looked at all the elements that make up the community and decided to put it all together to share it with everyone," she said.
"There are outlets out there specifically for news, but this isn't about news, it is about getting to know our residents.
"People love reading about other people and feeling as if they can relate. The profiles we feature are about real people, not the rich, not the fancy, just every-day, down-to-earth residents.
"The aim of the page is to inspire people and connect them. So many people are making new friends and connections. Small businesses are even collaborating together.
"The page is absolutely beautiful and it has gone beyond my wildest expectaions. If we can help the community continue to grow that is an wonderful thing."
Search connect Toowoomba and Darling Downs on Facebook.
