The Secretary of State for Education and Science (Mrs. Margaret Thatcher)
It is clear from the speech of the right hon. Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, [column 677]Central (Mr. Edward Short) that he has not yet got over losing the election. I marvel that anyone can talk of intelligence and in the same breath equate authoritarianism with the enlargement of freedom. It is also clear from his speech that local authorities and parents can have views and carry them out only if they agree with the right hon. Gentleman's views, and not unless.
I will try to deal with the matter under three heads. First, the right hon. Gentleman spoke about the withdrawal of his circular. Secondly, he spoke about the existing position under the 1944 Act, as amended. Thirdly, he spoke about my circular. I will follow him in the order that he has taken.
Dealing with point No. 1; when I met the education Press correspondents shortly after Edward Heathmy right hon. Friend appointed me, naturally they asked me what I intended to do. I told them that I intended to implement the promises in the manifesto. In the climate of the last six years, of course, that was news. The pledges on Circular 10/65 were clearly given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in a letter to the National Education Association on 13th October, which was published in both The Times on 21st October and the Daily Mail on 18th October. It said:
"Meanwhile you will have seen that in recent statements Sir Edward BoyleSir Edward and I have been very specific both about the repeal of legislation enforcing comprehensive education and the need for continued variety. Certainly a Conservative Secretary of State would not continue to operate Circulars 10/65 and 10/66."
From the tone of the right hon. Gentleman's speech one would never have thought that the circular was followed by an attempt, which he and his right hon. Friend Harold Wilsonthe Leader of the Opposition lost between them, aided and abetted by their back benchers, to implement the circular by legislation. He knows full well from the many debates that we had—and they were all repeated because he lost Clause 1 and we had to go over it again—that it does not represent Conservative policy on education. But he has deliberately tried to take the matter in as extreme a way as he can.
Against the background of the pledges given by my right hon. Friends, against the background of the manifesto, in which we said clearly that we will maintain the [column 678]existing rights of local education authorities to decide what is best for their areas, I had no alternative but to attempt to withdraw the circular. The right hon. Gentleman knows possibly what I did not appreciate at first, that one cannot just withdraw a circular; one has to issue another short circular, and this one implements, and very quickly, the election pledges which we gave.
Against that background and having just completed the biggest consultation of all on 18th June—[Interruption.]—it would not have been appropriate—[Interruption.]
Mr. Speaker
Order. We listened to one side reasonably. We must be fair.
Mrs. Thatcher
—it would not have been appropriate to enter into consultations. I believe that consultation is meaningful only if it is entered into in a state of mind where one intends to be influenced by the representations which are made. Unlike right hon. and hon. Gentlemen opposite, I could not be influenced to go back on an election promise. Moreover, this action in withdrawing the circular and replacing it with a short one was enlarging the rights of local authorities and not circumscribing them.
The right hon. Gentleman spoke as if he had always consulted about every matter in the educational world. But, during the Second Reading of the Bill which he lost, he stood at this Dispatch Box and was asked whether he had consulted the Church authorities. He then said that he would be willing to do so.
The point is that if the consultation was in the future it could not have taken place at the time the Bill was introduced, which had a very considerable effect upon their rights and which would have involved them in considerable extra expense. Further, the direct-grant schools were seriously affected under that Bill but no consultations took place with them.
Mr. Short
I had the longest consultations with the Churches and the direct-grant schools.
Mrs. Thatcher
The direct-grant schools did not even know that the Bill would affect them.[column 679]
Mr. Short
If the right hon. Lady looks at the records in her Department she will see that I had a very long meeting with the Direct Grant Schools Association.
Hon. Members
Mrs. Thatcher
In that case, I do withdraw. I only say that the direct-grant schools were very surprised and expressed their surprise that they were affected by Clause 1. During the General Election the right hon. Gentleman had a complete party political programme on television to describe his educational policies. It could be said that with his rigid ideas of compulsion he made a positive contribution to his party's defeat. No one can say that the Labour policy on education was not put before the people. The right hon. Gentleman did that and they rejected it.
Mr. Eric S. Heffer (Liverpool, Walton)
Not in my constituency.
Mrs. Thatcher
The cardinal issue of secondary reorganisation was whether the existing rights of local education authorities to decide what is best for their area should be upheld.
I will now follow the right hon. Gentleman in trying to analyse those rights as amended many times under the 1944 Education Act. May I remind the House that many of the most positive, progressive and far-reaching educational changes were made by Conservative education Ministers—for example, Viscount Ecclesthe noble Lord who has returned as Minister for the Arts, my right hon. Friend the Member for Sutton Coldfield (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd) and the noble Lord, Lord Boyle—without the aid of Circular 10/65. They were made under the existing legal provisions of the 1944 Act about which the right hon. Gentleman has been so critical. Among those changes which took place without any circular was the movement in the Conservative counties towards a new comprehensive system. As the right hon. Gentleman knows, my right hon. Friends took the view that if one has something good to sell one does not have to force people to buy it. It is of interest to know that on 27th November, 1964, the right hon. Member for Fulham (Mr. M. Stewart) said:
"Nearly two-thirds of the secondary school population is already living in the areas of [column 680]authorities that are either implementing or making concrete plans for reorganisation on comprehensive lines." —[Official Report, 27th Nov., 1964; Vol. 702, c. 1784.]
This was months before Circular 10/65 and its counterpart 10/66 which used the building programme as a form of sanction against those who did not toe the line. It shows that the 1944 Act, as amended, was no passive Measure but set out actively to promote full educational opportunity for all children. That had been the position for many years. Indeed the four big reports on educational advance, including Newsom, Robbins and Plowden, were all set up by successive Conservative Ministers. It is no defect in the Act which has held back educational progress and prevented it from going faster. The right hon. Gentleman knows the reason, namely, that we have never had sufficient resources to do all that we want to do in education.
That is the central issue. It was during the right hon. Gentleman's time and it is now. I accept that his Government did a great deal for schools. He knows now that even if we were to replace for example all the primary schools built before 1903 it would cost £200 million and would take 15 years at the rate at which they were being replaced last year, which was a comparatively good year. This shows the dimension of the problem and the importance that resources play in the future development of education. To return to the duties and rights under the Act of Parliament, the right hon. Gentleman mentioned the distribution of power between central and local government. He did not leave a great deal to local authorities and attempted to alter the balance which had been agreed over many years.
The position now is as follows. The powers under the Act as they affect local education authorities are expressed in the central provision of Section 8 which places the duty on local education authorities to secure the provision of schools sufficient in number, character and equipment to afford for all pupils—to use the phrase which the right hon. Gentleman did—opportunities for education appropriate to their ages, aptitudes and abilities. Wisely that provision did not lay down the type of institution in which that duty should be discharged. Had it at that time adopted such a rigid policy and [column 681]stipulated the best school system then known, and none other, the comprehensive system could never have developed as it has from the early 1950s.
A rigid system is the enemy of advance. Almost every practical educationist advises one to have policies which are flexible so that one can stand ready to take advantage of new methods and new research. We will continue to discharge our duties in a number of ways. Many of the best educational ideas do not start in central Government but come up from local areas, provided that those areas have enough latitude to develop their ideas. The central Government powers as expressed in the 1944 Act are extremely important.
May I say now a word about the plans for secondary reorganisation. These plans have not and never have had any statutory standing, any legal status. They are extra-statutory plans with no legal status under the 1944 Education Act. When those plans come to the Department for approval that approval has no legal status either. The law comes in when those plans begin to be implemented by closing the schools, significantly altering their character or extending or altering their age group or opening new schools. In view of what the right hon. Gentleman has said, it might be of interest to him to know that I have just approved the Leeds scheme, for its development of secondary education which is on totally comprehensive lines.
I wish to make it quite clear that there is nothing in the circular which stops this development and where the local education authority wishes it, and it is appropriate for the area, full approval will be given. Leeds has a 5—9, 9—13, 13—18 scheme. It is one which in many ways appeals to me because one of the things I have always feared from some of the early comprehensive schemes is the massive size of school which they produce. I do not believe that all children flourish by being placed in a very large school. Sometimes the transfer from a very small school to very big one can be difficult; and I have, therefore, found this scheme attractive.
Mr. Merlyn Rees (Leeds, South)
As a Leeds hon. Member, I am pleased to hear what the right hon. Lady says. [column 682]However, is she aware that last Friday it was announced in Leeds that a number of Conservative councillors were saying that in view of the return of a Conservative Government this scheme should now be rejected to fit the new ideas of the new Secretary of State? Are we to understand that that will not happen? Will the plan go forward whatever may now be decided as a result of what was said last week?
Mrs. Thatcher
The Leeds authority said that it wished its existing plan to be considered. I considered it. I thought that Leeds had taken great steps to inform parents and teachers and that there were no major objections to the plan. I therefore approved it under my existing policy.
The legal powers under the Education Act, 1944, come into play when notices must be issued either to close or alter the age grouping of schools. It is then that one must act in a semi-judicial capacity, and the powers we have are these:
"Any proposals submitted to the Secretary of State under this section may be approved by him after making such modifications therein, if any, as appear to him desirable."
This is when it comes to considering separate, individual schools in implementing a plan.
This is a wide discretion. It must be exercised on educational grounds within the policy and objects of the Act, as determined from its construction. If the effect of the decision was to frustrate the policy of the Act, the decision would, no doubt, be challenged in the courts, as was a similar decision under another Act in the Padfield case in 1968.
My right hon. Friend Quintin Hoggthe last Conservative Minister of Education used to describe the powers under this Section as "reserve powers" to turn down any proposal he thought educationally damaging. That was probably the way in which he viewed the exercise of his discretion.
However, I think that it is safer for me at present to stick to the wording of the Act and to say that all educational factors must be taken into account, including of course—and this is where the reorganisation comes in—other plans for schools in the area, objections from parents and teachers and representations made by educational bodies and so on. I cannot say in advance what decisions [column 683]would be given or enumerate what factors might be relevant or the weight that would be attached to them.
Before leaving this question, it might be helpful if I were to indicate the way in which I shall view the non-statutory plans. I have mentioned Leeds. I think it is fair, in regard to any general plan submitted by a local education authority, to start by presuming that the responsible local authority, being a democratically elected body with statutory duties, has submitted sound proposals.
This presumption can, of course, be rebutted by sufficient evidence to the contrary. In addition to matters such as the disposition and distance between buildings, one will need evidence that the advice of teachers has been taken into account, that parents have been able to express their views and that the explanations given to them have been clear and accurate.
The last point with which I wish to deal under the existing Act is the one raised by the right hon. Gentleman; namely, the age of transfer, whether to a selective or non-selective school. As the right hon. Gentleman pointed out, there are many ages of transfer under the different schemes. Indeed, theoretically it is possible now to transfer at each and every age, from 8 to 15, because of the many different schemes affecting middle schools.
There will be a variety of schools for many years to come, and it seems to me that, whatever the right hon. Gentleman may say, we could not, even if one wished it to be so, automatically have a totally comprehensive system because, as he knows, the cost of doing that would be, to use his word, "astronomical" . That was the point he made in Committee.
The Government accept the view that the age of 11 is too early to make final decisions about a child's future. The manifesto and the previous document "Make Life Better" were clear about this and stressed the need to provide for late developers. In some ways, the debate about the type of schools has perhaps distracted attention away from what is every bit as important; namely, what happens inside the schools. At present there is a mixed system of schools [column 684]and, because the costs of comprehensivisation would be so great, there will be a mixed system for a long time to come.
When the right hon. Gentleman left office there were 1,137 comprehensive schools, 2,690 secondary modern schools and 1,026 grammar schools. It is up to us, whatever type of school a child is in, to do everything possible to assist it to develop its full educational abilities and not in any way to knock the children or teachers in any one type of school.
I believe that it is possible—the right hon. Gentleman does not—to have a mixed system of both comprehensive and grammar schools—[Interruption.]—along-side. [Hon. Members: "No." ] I believe this to be so.
Mr. Short
That is a contradiction.
Mrs. Thatcher
This is not a contradiction. There are existing systems, as the right hon. Gentleman knows, so how can it be impossible? It varies enormously with the catchment area. Certainly, with a small rural area, I do not believe that it would be possible to have a comprehensive school and a grammar school, but in some of the very large urban areas it is possible, because the grammar school and direct grant school have quite different catchment areas from the comprehensive school. [Hon. Members: "Impossible." ] It is of little avail for hon. Gentlemen opposite to say that this is impossible, because it happens now.
Some of the best comprehensive schools are in areas where there are very good selective schools. The right hon. Gentleman is always putting forward Tulse Hill as one of the best comprehensives in London. This school is in an area where there are a number of very good selective grammar and direct grant schools. It has not prevented the grammar, direct grant and comprehensives from being extremely good schools.
Mr. Heffer
I entirely agree with the right hon. Lady that there are local authorities which have the two systems running side by side. We have this in Liverpool. Is she aware, however, that it is a totally unsatisfactory system and that it creates more than enough problems? She must understand that one either has one system or the other. [Hon. Members: "No." ] The system that is obviously required and that has been [column 685]shown to be totally necessary in the interests of the children is the fully comprehensive one.
Mrs. Thatcher
I obviously disagree with the hon. Gentleman.
I was interested in an article in New Society of 25th June, 1970, by David Donnison following an extensive survey—a much more extensive one than the pollsters did—about what the British public wanted from their schools. He pointed out that the majority said that they favoured comprehensive education and that that majority was growing. [Hon. Members: "Hear, hear." ] However, an even larger majority wanted to "retain grammar schooling" . I believe that if one is not doctrinaire and rigid about this it is possible to have the best of both systems. That is the difference between us.
Mr. John Pardoe (Cornwall, North)
Mrs. Thatcher
I must get on. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will have an opportunity to express his views.
I come to another subject to which Edward Shortthe right hon. Gentleman referred; namely, the content and significance of Circular 10/70. I am sure that the right hon. Gentleman would not dissent from the aim contained in paragraph 1. We all agree that the aim is that all pupils should have full opportunities for secondary education suitable to their needs and abilities. This is indeed a wide aim, and we shall pursue the aim of increasing the quality of education throughout the system.
Secondly, it points out that we believe that it is wrong to impose uniform patterns. We had this argument during the proceedings on the Bill that the right hon. Gentleman lost. Even he agreed that he would not necessarily impose a uniform pattern, in that there were exceptions, I think for music and ballet. What he would not agree to was that there could be separate schools of excellence to develop mathematical and scientific ability. The right hon. Gentleman also said that there could not be any school in his scheme of things which depended for its entry partially on selection by ability. I also believe that this is wrong. I believe that there is still a [column 686]place for certain selective schools of excellence. Other nations which have largely comprehensive systems have found the necessity to have them. I believe that it is wrong to exclude this from our future plans.
The next point in paragraph 1 is—
"restrictions on the character of secondary building projects will no longer apply" .
Hon. Members will know that if local education authorities did not toe the right hon. Gentleman's line approval was withheld from building projects, even though those projects were part of the basic needs programme and their absence would materially affect the education of the pupils. Three million pounds worth of school-building projects have now been released into the educational building programme so that those children will get the buildings which they need for their proper education.
The second paragraph of the circular points out that authorities will now be freer—this is what the right hon. Gentleman does not like—to determine the shape of secondary provision in their areas. I believe that the best educational schemes have come when authorities have not been coerced and have insisted at every stage on having the proper equipment and buildings. In the book "In Our Experience" this was said by Stewart Mason about one of the best schemes before Circular 10/65, he having initiated the scheme:
"We were unwilling to make the change" ——
that is, to comprehensive—
"unless we had the minimum physical conditions (particularly sufficient practical accommodation in the upper schools-to-be) to enable the scheme to work smoothly. The last selective area in the county disappeared after the Summer Term of 1969—so that what started as an experiment in 1957 has taken 12 years from its inception to spread over the whole county. Our approach throughout has been pragmatic. We have never attempted to follow a holy way from which any divergence would be an act of renegation."
I believe that that is the way to approach comprehensive schemes and that local authorities do it better without coercion.
The other point in paragraph 2 is guidance as to what kind of schemes for secondary reorganisation will be approved. I tried to be a good deal more flexible than the right hon. Gentleman. At the time of his Bill the journal Education put forward two criteria for [column 687]schemes of reorganisation for schools—first, full educational opportunity and, second, proposals that were cost-effective. I have adopted similar criteria in our slightly different language and added the third of fulfilling local needs and wishes. I have, however, in this circular stressed that where a particular pattern is working well and commands general support I do not wish to cause further change. I fail to see what is reactionary or extreme about that. This applies whether the scheme is fully comprehensive or whether there is another scheme. Where there is so much to be done for schools in deprived and poor areas, it seems to me to be a misuse of resources and efforts to concentrate on upsetting a scheme which is working well when we should be trying to help those where opportunity is less than equal.
Paragraph 3 is a machinery section telling authorities what they can do about their plans if they are currently lodged with the Department—whether they want to leave them lodged or whether they want to have them reviewed. The right hon. Gentleman really does hate local authorities to have freedom, but they must have freedom to reconsider their plans if they were put up against an undue amount of pressure. The journal The Teacher said this on 3rd July, 1970:
"Some of the shoe-string schemes submitted in response to Circular 10/65 were educationally very poor indeed."
I do not want educationally poor schemes. [Interruption.] The right hon. Gentleman can read on. I want to have good schemes, whether they are comprehensive or other schemes.
The last paragraph says, if I may paraphrase it, that if local authorities are to make changes these must be discussed with teachers and parents, because they are most affected. I emphasise that the changes are not brought about by virtue of this circular. The changes are brought about by virtue of the decisions taken by local authorities. It is in making those changes that the consultation must be extensive, and that is a condition of approving the plans.
In view of the upheaval of the last four years and the great challenge yet to come with the raising of the school-leaving age as planned—the right hon. Gentleman will never forget, as we shall never forget, his and his right hon. [column 688]Friend's action about that—local education authorities have a lot to cope with. In the course of the next few months I shall be taking stock of the present state of secondary education, both its organisation and the problems within the schools. The main purpose of this circular is to honour an election pledge to reject compulsion on democratically elected authorities. I ask the House to reject the Amendment.

A Broadway and West End hit musical that's a ravishing love story with a bittersweet difference, Once casts a spell over the audience just as its two lead characters cast a spell over each other.
Based on a cult 2006 Irish indie feature, originally shot on a micro-budget of just $160,000, it tells the uplifting yet yearning story of a part-time Dublin guitarist busker (who works by day in his dad's Hoover repair shop) who falls unexpectedly in love with a young Czech immigrant fellow musician. As we follow their relationship across five short days, big changes happen to both of them in little ways.
As conjured by a score of original Irish-inflected songs, written by the original stars of the film Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, the atmosphere is partly a busked concert and partly an aching romance that feels both spontaneous and freshly minted. The music, played live by the actors themselves, is alternately beautiful and rousing, and Enda Walsh's script quietly overwhelms with its sense of spirit, sincerity and solitude.
There's no other show quite like it. It's the most unusual, unique and affecting musical you're ever likely to see. It has a spontaneous free-form improvisatory vitality, yet it is also emotionally precise in the understated air of longing that anyone who has ever been in love will recognise instantly.
And audiences will fall head over heels in love with the show, too. Once is a genuine one-off which you'll need to see at least once — but it's also unlikely to be your last time, as you'll want to see it again (and again).
AGE RECOMMENDATION 10+ (contains one moment of strong language)
Running time: approx. 2 hours 30 minutes, including interval.
★★★★★ "This is the most unique musical in town. Seeing it once is not enough; I'll be returning again and again" Sunday Express
"This show wins standing ovations the old-fashioned way: with a love story, great songs, compelling characters and inventive stagecraft. At this point in broadway history, this feels downright revolutionary" New York Post
★★★★ "It's funny, its truthful, it sings" The Times
"A love affair with music… fresh and unexpected" The New York Times

Drop out of school if you want to get ahead
If you're looking to validate your opinion on this matter with a "Steve Jobs dropped out and he was successful" conclusion this is not your article.
I want to pose the idea that focusing all your efforts full-time on the traditional school to university pathway will hold you back a few years in life experience.
Cue my colleague Jasper. He's 18 years old, has two years full-time corporate experience in sales and began a Bachelor of Business while his high school classmates were still in school.
I would say he's most things a parent would want of their child. A high performer, earning good money and gaining worldly experiences several years before his now full-time university peers.
He also dropped out of high school.
It's fair to say in retrospect that this decision served Jasper well – and looking back I wish I had done the same.
The reason I think this path is an option worth entertaining has nothing to do with time or money, or pointing to *insert billionaire* who also dropped out.
It's to do with finding the best pathway to sharpen your axe for life.
It's to do with eliminating self limiting beliefs and distancing yourself from false expectations that you have to be of a certain age, or a certain seniority and have a certain piece of paper to chase your goals.
Spending a long time in higher education, both as a student and a student leader, I got the opportunity to gauge a pretty good profile of the modern university student.
I saw the best and worst of the university system – I was the conduit to the bureaucrats when the university worked against students. This was an eye opening experience that gave me a dutiful sense of purpose to help connect students to industry now that I've graduated.
When I meet with student groups now, I identify many similarities to my former student self.
What I see is rooms full of fee paying talented people held back waiting for false validations.
Waiting until they graduate to go for a good job, waiting until second year to apply for the internship, waiting for the good semester that boosts their GPA enough to apply for the right position.
I believe the average student is so sold into the boundaries of the education system that they are waiting for the permission to do life.
The painfully ironic thing is that based on employment outcomes there's never been a worse time to be a university graduate.
And this is all happening in times where vocal industry commentators are saying that life skills are the hardest trait to find in Millennial employees.
Clearly the classroom is not the place to be looking for life experience.
A UK industry body suggested the most lacked employment skills in Millenials were: 'Working life' skills, self awareness and confidence, communication skills and commercial skills.
Knowing that, if I had the time to pick my pathway again, I would chose to double down on these skills at a younger age. I'd put university on the backburner for a while and fiercely pursue more authentic opportunities for self development, making the pursuit of the "piece of paper" a side project.
But most certainly, I would have chosen to drop out of high school.

Why Brisbane is Australia's Best City for Startups
Since we've started flogging time and attendance software at Tanda, our team has bought over 40 airline tickets across Australia. We've been to every capital city and done business at hundreds of locations all around Australia. One thing really hit home: Brisbane is the best place to be a startup. Here are five reasons why: 1. Cost of living This is by far the biggest benefit of being in Brisbane; housing and office space are so much more within the price range of a business that's just starting. This has allowed us to bootstrap to a considerable size without using external funding. 2. Transport This may sound like a small thing. The best advice we got when we were starting our business was "it takes a lot of shoe leather", meaning we'd spend a lot of time on our feet talking to anyone who'll meet with us. Driving around Brisbane is so much better than other capital cities. It's affordable enough, and nothing is too far away. Despite what philosopher Alain de Botton might say about the Riverside Expressway, it's one of my favourite features of the city. Because Brisbane's not that big, we can justify having an office outside of the inner city where rent is a bit cheaper, without feeling like we are out of the loop. 3. BCC Brisbane City Council is making a very concerted effort for the future of the city to be digital. I was lucky enough to receive the Lord Mayor's budding entrepreneur grant and have heard Cr Quirk talk about the city's plan for the future and I'm excited about growing a business here. 4. Business community There are a number of great communities around start-ups really getting some traction in Brisbane such as River City Labs and iLab. But the other great thing about the city is how many innovative business people are willing to talk to you and lend a hand – which is particularly good for a B2B business! 5. Talent Brisbane has two great technology courses at QUT and UQ, which makes it much easier to attract and retain young talent to help build and grow our business. It's a much tougher market for employers in other capital cities, especially those with only one technology-focused university. I'd recommend Brisbane as a great place to start a business for anyone considering starting out. The team at Brisbane Marketing & Digital Brisbane have a lot of support available to you on top of the many other benefits.

Tanda Open Data Hackathon this weekend – 17th & 18th April
This article is about the 2015 event. Go to hack.tanda.co for 2016's event details! The Tanda Open Data Hackathon is upon us! Programmers, designers and developers are flocking to Brisbane for Tanda's first Open Data Hackathon. In a digital era where everything is reachable from the click of a button, it's no surprise there are now marathons and competitions for the digitally oriented too. Hackathons, e-conferences and everything in between can be a great way to meet new faces in your industry and carve out your own opportunities in the workforce. You can come along as a lone wolf hunting down open data, or bring a pack of friends to brainstorm together. On the first night after pitches, that's when you'll have a chance to form your final teams and get ready to compete. Tanda's Hackathon will be taking place over two locations. Day 1 will see us at our own Tanda HQ for meet'n'greet, drinks and pitches. Then, a fresh start (and a free breakfast) on Saturday morning will begin at Brisbane's River City Labs. The great facilities at this space will hopefully give all attendants the comfort they need to execute a great pitch. It's a Learning Experience The main drive of these types of events is that everyone should walk out feeling that learnt something. Whether it's something a team partner has shown you while trying to create something awesome under pressure, or a competitor reveals a clever trick in their presentation. There's no point to an idea if you don't share it. It's a Networking Opportunity Whether it's the company hosting the Hackathon or a fellow competitor at the event these are the kind of industry events where you can actually stand out for future employees. Instead of selling yourself in an annoying verbal resume at some cocktail event you can show potential employers your skills in action. It's a push in the Right Direction Not only will you meet new people, you will receive feedback from the two judges for Tanda's Hackathon.

Bright Ideas Paying Dividends for Budding Entrepreneurs
Four housemates, a bright idea and a client list that's pushing towards triple figures six months after launch. Technology entrepreneurship is alive and well in Brisbane and software developer PayAus (Now, Tanda) is among the latest wave of shoe-stringers to find an untapped market niche. PayAus's cloud-based rostering, sign-on and reporting program promises a low-cost means for small businesses to automate what's still a paper process for many. PayAus's founder is 21-year-old technology graduate Alex Ghiculescu. He and his three partners, all of whom are the offspring of small business families, have progressively given up paid employment as demand for their product has grown since its February release. Advertisement "It's getting to the point where we're making a living out of it," Ghiculescu said. Word of mouth and advertising through Google AdWords have seen PayAus acquire a clutch of grown-up customers across Australia including clubs and hotels and the Brisbane logistics company Interport Cargo. PayAus has also former a partnership with major accounting software vendors Xero and MYOB. The firm is among 12 start-ups that last week received a share of $25,000 in grant funding from the Brisbane City Council, via the Lord Mayor's Budding Entrepreneurs program. The initiative is part of a Digital Brisbane strategy launched in July 2012 after the appointment of chief digital officer Kieran O'Hea. His remit includes encouraging local businesses to become more digitally savvy and fostering a start-up culture in the city. While the southern capitals are the epicentre of Australia's start-up scene, Brisbane has spawned global success stories including the smash-hit game Fruit Ninja, and We Are Hunted, an online music tracker acquired by Twitter in April. Long established software and services vendors including TechnologyOne and Data 3 also began in Brisbane. Ghiculescu will spend his cut of the grant attending the Yow! developer conference this year. Fellow grant recipient Zachary Fitz-Walter, 27, says his cheque will afford his joining fee at River City Labs, a Brisbane incubator run by Pipe Networks founder and high-tech investor Steve Baxter. Since inception in March 2012, the facility has been used by 116 start-ups and currently has 55 companies in residence. Fitz-Walter is a PhD student completing a thesis on gamification at QUT's Mobile Innovation Lab. His big idea is Monster Link, a video game which incorporates real life elements, such as location and weather. Gamification refers to the incorporation of video game features and techniques into everyday activities, to make them more engaging. "We want to show what we can do, then look for potential investors," Fitz-Walter said. His team of four includes two PhD students and an artist. Apple technology had removed barriers to entry and made it easy for those with a bright idea to develop it quickly, Fitz-Walter said. Miriam Hochwald, the founder of Geek Girl Coffees, an international networking and support group for women working in science and technology, took a share of the cash for her sideline project, Little Geeklet. The app helps users to publish online stories. "I am aiming to assist people to tick off their bucket list item of writing a children's book," Hochwald said. "It doesn't have to be a world hit, a great story or even good art work … I think creative expression is important for people's wellbeing at any age – not just restricted to kids or so-called artists." The council will offer a second round of grants early next year. The inaugural round attracted 96 applications. Source: Originally posted on SMH.

If your feet are in need of a little care and attention, take a look at the Foot Expertise range of foot and leg care products, available from The CHILL CABINET.
Promotional Feature, contains PR Samples.
Your feet take a pounding, literally, from everyday life. And your skin is the first layer of protection that the body has against external stressors.
Whether you're on your feet all day at work, spend your days running around after the children, or put in hours walking around cities and countryside, your feet put up with a lot.
So it's no surprise that the skin on your feet can often show signs of wear and damage, and needs extra special care.
So Foot Expertise have created three ranges of products specially designed to care for your feet and legs.
Unlike many foot care products, Foot Expertise products do not use urea, which can degrade through contact with heat. Foot Expertise has replaced this ingredient with their trademark XpertMoist. This is a blend of 3-amino acids and active extracts, which acts as a molecular film to deliver hydration and help the skin to heal and regenerate.
Foot Expertise products do not contain any parabens, silicons, mineral oils, alcohol or artificial colours. And the fragrances used are allergen-free. This means that the products are suitable for all skin types, even if you have diabetes or dermatitis.
The Foot Expertise Product Range
There are 12 Foot Expertise products, divided into three ranges
Hygiene & Wellness
This collection features four products designed for the daily care of your feet and legs. It includes a Cream Wash to cleanse feet and soften hard skin, and Active Care Moisturiser which hydrates and conditions the skin. Deo Refresh is a deodorant for feet and shoes, while DeStresser is a luxuriously rich hydrating mousse for legs and feet.
Foot Expertise Specials
The Specials Collection comprises three products which are designed to give tailored care for specific food and leg issues.
Blister Shield helps you to avoid blisters by creating a protective film to prevent friction and rubbing. Toenail Repair is a potent blend of oils that helps to repair and revitalise unsightly nails, while Fungal SOS is an effective 2 in 1 product which relieves itching and soreness while actively helping to prevent the re-occurrence of infections.
Prevention, Protection, Soothing
The five products in this collection help to soothe irritation and protect against common foot and leg issues.
Hydra Recharge helps to nourish and moisturise very dry feet, soothing irritation and reducing the risk of fissures. For heels that are already very dry and cracked, Cracks Refiller helps to replenish, calm and repair the damaged skin. This is perfect for getting your feet ready to bare in summer sandals or strappy heels.
PerspirOFF is a medicated cream which contains powerful active ingredients to reduce high sweating and help to protect against fungal infections.
The final two products in this range are Kerato Scratcher, a gentle exfoliating cream, and Capillary Plus which both moisturises skin and delivers immediate fatigue relief.
Foot Expertise sent me these last two products to try out, and I've been putting them to the test.
Foot Expertise Kerato Scratcher
Don't be fooled by this product's name. Kerato Scratcher isn't a harsh abrasive exfoliator that will leave your skin feeling raw and tender.
Instead it's a smooth gel/cream that you apply to the skin once or twice a week. It's easily absorbed, doesn't have a strong fragrance, and doesn't leave any kind of sticky residue.
The active ingredients in Kerato Scratcher will gently remove the dead skin cells from the upper layers of your skin's surface. This helps to make your skin softer and smoother, as well as making it ready to receive any further treatments that you're planning to use on your feet.
I decided to test this product by using it on just one foot, so that I can compare the difference. I have only been using this for a couple of weeks, and I do tend to get quite a lot of hard skin on my heels. But already I'm seeing an improvement in the condition of the skin on the foot that I've been using Kerato Scratcher on.
Foot Expertise say that with regular use, Kerato Scratcher can help to reduce thickening of the skin on your heels. So I'm hopeful that by using this product, my heels will be ready to show off in strappy sandals!
Foot Expertise Kerato Scratcher costs £11.99 for 75ml.
Foot Expertise Capillary Plus
This was definitely my favourite out of the two Foot Expertise products that I tried, and its one that I think I'll be buying in the future.
It's a gel/cream that is quickly absorbed into the skin. As well as leaving your skin feeling softer, this product also helps to relieve the tired, heavy feeling that you get in your legs when you've been on your feet for hours.
As a travel blogger, I can spend all day walking around cities or through the countryside, and I'm no stranger to that heavy, hot, tired feeling in my calves and feet.
Capillary Plus instantly makes my legs feel fresher and more comfortable, and the active ingredients also help to improve micro-circulation and lymph drainage.
I love how this makes my legs and feet feel, and I'll definitely be popping it in my suitcase for my next trip.
Foot Expertise Capillary Plus costs £13.49 for 150ml.
I've been really impressed by the Foot Expertise products that I've tried. The range is definitely well worth checking out if you want beautifully conditioned feet, toes and legs all year round!

Class One visit Rosemoor Gardens
On Tuesday 25th March, Class One enjoyed a super spring day at Rosemoor Gardens.
Class One spent the day at Rosemoor where they took part in a workshop all about mini-beasts and their habitats. During the afternoon they explored the gardens, finding out about the different sensory plants grown there in preparation for their planning of our very own sensory garden at school.

Acing Your Next Job Interview over Skype
For those who haven't been actively job searching for a while, it may come as a surprise that more employers are asking for an initial interview over Skype instead of an in-person interview. It's simply a more efficient process for employers to nail down the best-fitting candidates to come in for the in-person interview.
While this may simplify matters for the employer, it doesn't necessarily for you – the job candidate, especially if you aren't an everyday user of Skype.
Proper preparation is needed, including making sure all the technical equipment works and setting up your area and the background (for a video conference).
Find out tips on how to properly prepare for a job interview using Skype and acing it as you would an in-person interview here.

The therapeutic power of the oil, which is a petroleum mineral oil obtained by the distillation of naphthenic oil, is very well known to medical experts around the world as well as to those patients who regularly come back, year after year, in order to keep their condition under control.

Recently I tried to explain Marfa to my sister but it all depends on the moment in time – whether I describe the original dusty town of cowboys and rancheros in the high desert near the Davis Mountains — or further along the continuum as it has evolved into an art center.
I first encountered Marfa when I was doing location research for my novel WRANGLE, set on a quarter horse ranch near Hempstead, Texas. When lead character Shannon Murphy experiences a family tragedy, she escapes to her uncle's ranch at the base of the Davis Mountains and finds new adventures in Marfa.
Only . . . I had never been to that part of Texas, and in the name of authenticity, I traveled there; drove the area, talked to locals, toured some of the ranches and wandered Marfa for a couple of days. It struck me as a little town where cowboy and Chicano culture comingled in a simple life.
This was the Marfa that interested me most – but what was less evident was its creative arts history. For instance, the little town had been used by the movie industry more than once ("Giant" was filmed there in 1950) but of course those folks did not stay.
Permanent change began in the 1970s when minimalist artist Donald Judd moved from New York to Marfa. He bought a couple of airplane hangars and some smaller buildings to begin to house his art. Eventually he created the Chinati Foundation that displays several artists in 15 buildings spread over a 340 acre campus.
From this kernel, an art community began to grow and to attract a new crowd – from international artists to a new brand of hippies that rub shoulders with the locals in a peaceful co-existence according to stories in Texas Monthly and reports on 60 Minutes capturing the arts "explosion" of the last 5 years.
Now there is a permanently installed sculpture of a Prada store by Scandanavian artists Elmgreen and Dragset, sitting in an expanse of desert, as well as other art museums in Marfa, nestled among buildings both modern (like the Hotel St. George) and historic (The Hotel Paisano); funky (food trucks) and down-home (little Mexican cafes with home-made tamales).
Marfa's reputation as a quirky town continues to grow nationally and it is now the site for Amazon's series "I Love Dick" starring Kevin Bacon. And still . . . somehow . . . Marfa continues to hold on to its simplicity, its high desert personality. I can find great art in almost any big city – it was Marfa's simple life that called to Shannon Murphy and calls to me now for a return visit.

By: The Voice of Reason |
Something very dangerous is happening all around us, and even those who know it's happening don't seem to be taking it very seriously. Slowly, over time, but much less subtle today than even a year or two ago, the Internet is being "weaponized." Simply put, those who do not opt in to the Orwellian thought-control model being pushed out CAN, and ultimately WILL be made invisible to their peers, and then tracked like criminals by authorities. Edward L. Bernays once said:
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
A psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.
Groupthink requires individuals to avoid raising controversial issues or alternative solutions, and there is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and independent thinking. The dysfunctional group dynamics of the "ingroup" produces an "illusion of invulnerability" (an inflated certainty that the right decision has been made). Thus the "ingroup" significantly overrates its own abilities in decision-making and significantly underrates the abilities of its opponents (the "outgroup"). Furthermore, groupthink can produce dehumanizing actions against the "outgroup".
A major issue that far too many writers deal with on a daily basis FINALLY got some national attention this week (even if only for a minute). In a story by Michael Nunez titled, Former Facebook Workers: We Routinely Suppressed Conservative News, conservative writers like myself got confirmation that we're not crazy, or imagining things after all. There isn't some secret mythical Facebook algorithm that keeps banning or blocking many of us for days or weeks at a time, but rather we keep getting banned or blocked because of our conservative leaning views.
Another common tactic Facebook will use for blocking or banning you without explanation is to tell people that they have a virus, and only by running their special scanner can access to their Facebook accounts be regained, one which many of us use for business. Do people honesty think Facebook isn't installing something on their computer? PLEASE! If you've ever gotten this message, next time try first running 5 different virus scanners, and when they all say you're clean, try logging into 12 different computers, in 12 different locations, and see what happens. Do you REALLY think all 12 are infected, or are you being censored again, and Facebook wants to install something on your system?
Referring to the group that decides whether your voice is heard or silenced, whether your account remains in good standing, or you are banned for a set time, is group Nunez says are: "people in their 20s and early 30s, most of whom graduated from Ivy League and private East Coast schools like Columbia University and NYU. They've previously worked at outlets like the New York Daily News, Bloomberg, MSNBC, and the Guardian. Some former curators have left Facebook for jobs at organizations including the New Yorker, Mashable, and Sky Sports." In other words, they HARDLY represent the common man. Hear what Fox News said:
In a post titled, Is it time to break Google, Twitter and Facebook, Joe Newby quotes retired Naval Intelligence officer J. E. Dyer:
"There was a time when it was enough for conservatives to have success with news and opinion content online. But the Internet is being transformed at a much less visible level now: at the level of basic browsing and social media algorithms, the dynamic but obscure arrangements that enable us to 'see' and connect with each other to exchange information," she said.
To deal with this, she said, we must develop an "alternet," but that will require resources and the will to create something where freedom remains.
I've written time and again about the abuses meted out to users by Facebook. Facebook — recently called the world's most dangerous censor — is already working to shape and control language in Europe, with the blessings of European governments. It won't be long before that becomes the norm in the United States.
We know from the NSA scandal that Facebook is deeply in bed with the government alphabet agencies, and Zuckerberg is particularly cozy with Obama. For more details about some of the abuses of Facebook, refer to the links at the bottom. HERE'S THE REAL QUESTION: How long before they are secretly running elections in this country? Be sure to check out the links to the studies below! Nunez writes:
Facebook has toyed with skewing news in the past. During the 2012 presidential election, Facebook secretly tampered with 1.9 million user's news feeds. The company also tampered with news feeds in 2010 during a 61-million-person experiment to see how Facebook could impact the real-world voting behavior of millions of people. An academic paper was published about the secret experiment, claiming that Facebook increased voter turnout by more than 340,000 people. In 2012, Facebook also deliberately experimented on its users' emotions. The company, again, secretly tampered with the news feeds of 700,000 people and concluded that Facebook can basically make you feel whatever it wants you to.
THE VOICE OF REASON is the pen name of Michael DePinto, a graduate of Capital University Law School, and an attorney in Florida. Having worked in the World Trade Center, along with other family and friends, Michael was baptized by fire into the world of politics on September 11, 2001. Michael's political journey began with tuning in religiously to whatever the talking heads on television had to say, then Michael became a "Tea-Bagging" activist as his liberal friends on the Left would say, volunteering within the Jacksonville local Tea Party, and most recently Michael was sworn in as an attorney. Today, Michael is a major contributor to www.BeforeItsNews.com, he owns and operates www.thelastgreatstand.com, where Michael provides what is often very 'colorful' political commentary, ripe with sarcasm, no doubt the result of Michael's frustration as he feels we are witnessing the end of the American Empire. The topics Michael most often weighs in on are: Martial Law, FEMA Camps, Jade Helm, Economic Issues, Government Corruption, and Government Conspiracy.

After becoming fanatically obsessed with C. M. Owens laughter provoking Sterling Shore series and her tickle your funny bone humor, I was intrigued and ready to experience one of her jaunts into the darker side. So when I got a chance to sit down and indulge in another of her fictional worlds and this one included intense, motorcycle riding, leather wearing, inked hotties…all I could think was "where do I click?" C. M. Owens proved to me along with all her other readers that her writing spans multiple genres and she is just as kick ass with her hair raising, bullet flying suspense as she is with comedy. Drex and Eve are an extreme, adrenaline inducing couple that take life's curves low and at full speed that keeps your pulse jumping and libido in overdrive from beginning to end.
"The Death Dealers have a reputation..Ruthless. Depraved. Dirty. Most importantly, brutal. I'm really hoping it's all just been hearsay stuff that doesn't hold any real truth."
Eve Marks finds herself in a dangerous situation where she has to sell her body to the devil to save her family. When she ends up in the hands of the handsome inked Vice President of the Death Dealers MC, she expects pain in her future, little does she know there will be lots of pleasure. When Drex Cain meets his new innocent, sexy, curvy toy Eve, he knows his world is going to rocked off it's foundation and he plans on rocking hers just as much. Eve and Drex robbed me of emotions with their dark and twisted world and their ability to find love in the middle of such heart pounding danger.
"I've got to search you." His velvety, smooth, deep voice shouldn't be seductive. He's a criminal, a coldhearted killer, and I'm about to let him touch me without true protest. "Open your mouth and spread yours legs"
C.M. Owens delivers a romance with shocking surprises around every corner, explosive scenes both in and out of the bedroom, and a cliff hanger that keeps us panting and on the edge. I highly recommend Property of Drex 1 for a fast paced, sizzler that will leave you breathless and in love with another of her fictional couples.
He growls low in my ear, staying inside me. "I think you like danger, sweet girl. I think it turns you the f**k on. This is going to be more fun than I thought."
It is that time again! Eek! C.M. Owens had us begging to read more of Eve and Drex's story from Property of Drex 1. She gave us a taste of this dark and spicy couple, living through the whizzing bullets and explosive antics that go on in this sadistic fictional world, and left us with a soul yearning and craving for more! In Property of Drex 2 there are questions to be answered, more intrigue to be had, and loads more heat between these two.
"The feds are closing in, Hell Breathers are finally seeking revenge, and Pop just pissed off the only people he had at his back."
Eve and Drex find themselves trapped in a world where death, betrayal, and danger surround them. They are just starting to realize their feelings for one another and their world is crumbling fast! Eve wants to grab a hold of Drex and never let go while Drex wants to push her away before she is dragged under into his criminally filled life and crowned as the queen. Little do they know of the evil that lurks close by that could destroy them both. If I thought that I was overtaken with raw emotion in the first part of their story, they had me weak in the knees and biting my nails through the second part and begging for C.M. Owens to show her characters mercy and me as well.
"Drex is the kind of guy I should run from, yet I keep running to him. I'd like to blame some psychological breakdown, but I know my mind has nothing to do with the feelings I have for him."
C.M. Owens delivers a conclusion that knocks readers socks off and leaves us clamoring for another taste of these hot motorcycle heroes in the Death Chasers series. I highly recommend both Property of Drex 1 & 2 for an exciting ride with a hero and heroine that will steal your heart and your breath. Eve and Drex are deliciously sinful and temptingly sweet!
"His lips are back on mine the second it's gone, but the kis is brief because he lifts me quickly, and I suck in a breath when I got up higher than expected. "Back against the wall, and legs on my shoulders,"

Local volunteer chosen to help stitch national 9/11 flag
Delaware Hospice volunteer and Dagsboro resident Nancy Palmer was recently able to join a select few Americans chosen to stitch the New York Says Thank You Foundation's National 9/11 Flag.
"The National 9/11 Flag is one of the largest American flags to fly above the wreckage at Ground Zero," explains the foundation's Web site. "Destroyed in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11 and stitched back together seven years later by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, the National 9/11 Flag is a living testament to the resilience and compassion of the American people."
"It was a very moving experience," said Palmer of her experience. "I'm a native New Yorker. I was born in Manhattan. My husband was a British sea captain and, for a time, he worked in the World Trade Center and knew many people that worked in that area. It was very moving, and to hear the other stories of the other people that were there was heart-wrenching."
Palmer was one of eight people who was chosen as a service hero to stitch the flag.
"I was honored. How could you not be, especially if you're from the area?" she said. "I also have a granddaughter in Afghanistan."
Palmer was nominated by Delaware Hospice Volunteer Coordinator Mary Costello, who said Palmer is an excellent volunteer.
"She has been a wonderful volunteer. I knew she had some experience with 9/11 in New York and helps with our Memory Bears, so I felt it was very appropriate for her to be helping stitch the flag," said Costello.
"They asked me if I would go up there and represent myself and Hospice in the stitching of this flag," added Palmer.
Palmer actually helped the hospice start their Memory Bear program three years ago.
"Memory Bears are teddy bears made from the clothing of someone that you've lost. They send me the clothes, and they tell me what they want done with them – I have no idea who these people are – and I make teddy bears," she explained.
"Since one of my hobbies has always been sewing — I made all my kids' clothes when they were little and my daughters' wedding dresses when they got married — when they said they wanted to start this program, I kind of felt God tapping me on the shoulder and saying, 'You know, Nancy, it's time you did this.'"
Since then, Palmer has helped make more than 200 Memory Bears for bereaved families.
"I know some people just don't understand how you can work with death and dying, but there is a big need and I love what I do."
Palmer has been a volunteer with Delaware Hospice since 2003 and said she has always been interested in hospice work.
"I'm a retired RN. My mother was a Hospice worker. And I lost my husband to cancer and had hospice for him," she explained. "I just feel it is an important thing to do."
Palmer is an active volunteer in other organizations, including Meals on Wheels, and sings in her church choir and the AARP choir, which tour nursing homes and entertain residents. She added that there is always a need at the hospice for volunteers in all capacities, and people should consider giving their time to Delaware Hospice.

November, 1989
Release # 90-008
WASHINGTON D.C.--An inspection and discount replacement program announced last year for Model 8600 Solar Pak mobile home furnaces is being continued by the Coleman Company Manufactured Housing Products Division of Wichita, Kansas, in voluntary cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This program was developed in 1988 in response to reports received by Coleman and the CPSC of deaths and serious injuries caused by leaking carbon monoxide from aging furnaces which have allegedly been inadequately inspected and maintained and/or altered or modified. Coleman is continuing its 1988 program to arrange inspections of its Model 8600 Solar Pak furnaces produced for mobile homes manufactured before December 1971. Coleman is offering homeowners a free Coleman cooler to encourage participation in this safety inspection program.
Although approximately 380,000 Solar Pak furnaces were manufactured from 1964 through 1971, relatively few are still operational. The furnaces were sold exclusively for use in mobile homes either as original equipment or as replacement appliances.
Investigations of the incidents show that no single factor is solely responsible for the carbon monoxide poisoning incidents. Nearly all of the incidents involved aging furnaces and a combination of factors, including improper or inadequate maintenance, improper installation, alteration or modification to the furnace.
To participate in this inspection/replacement program, mobile homeowners should check their gas furnace for the presence of the Coleman brand name on the front of the furnace. They can then identify a Coleman Model 8600 Solar Pak by opening the furnace door and checking the rating plate. If the furnace is a Coleman Model 8600 Solar Pak or if the homeowner is uncertain, they should call (877) 874-7378, then follow the message prompt and press 2 to be directed to the consumer relations department.
Coleman is offering up to a 50 percent discount on certain replacement parts as well as up to a 50 percent on a new replacement furnace. Furnace installation charges are not included. Consumers may receive further details of the program by calling the Coleman toll-free number listed above.
Homeowners are reminded that annual maintenance and inspection of all furnaces are vital to the safety of consumers and to the proper operation of their furnace. Aging furnaces, 20 years old and older, should receive special annual care and attention to insure continued safe and efficient operation.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.
Please use the below phone number for all media requests.

I was shocked and saddened after hearing of Bob's passing. He was always a joy to be around and always enthusiastic about the gospel of Christ. When I think about Bob and Gretchen and Answers In Action the word that comes to mind is TRUTH. Bob always had a heart after the truth and that is to be commended. My love and prayers go to Gretchen and the kids. May our Lord hold you close to him during this time of loss.

Sunday, 20 January 2013
Hearing The Derek Trucks Band was recorded in 1997, when the leader was all of seventeen, you mightn't be expecting something this impressive but Derek had, by that time, been playing professionally and semi-professionally for six years. He'd had bassist Todd Smallie on board since '94, drummer Yonrico Scott since '95 and singer/keyboards player Bill McKay had been around for a while as well, so we're talking a debut recording by a seasoned outfit, regardless of the leader's relative youth.
Recorded around a year before the album's release in October 1997 the album certainly isn't lacking as far as aspiration is concerned. Out of a dozen tracks, eight might be original compositions but there are also a couple of fairly ambitious covers in the form of John Coltrane's Mr. P.C. and Naima, Miles Davis' So What and Wayne Shorter's Footprints.
Thirty-five seconds of Sarod (Trucks playing the Indian instrument) leads straight into a blistering, turn on a pin reading of Mr. P.C. that'll be familiar territory to anyone familiar with Derek's later work. Suffice it to say he had his chops more or less down back this far and has spent the intervening period honing and polishing. Gary Gazaway contributes a horn part to 555 Lake that punctuates a warm vocal (in fact the album's only vocal) from Bill McKay and there's some fine ensemble playing on D Minor Blues and #6 Dance.
Things get ambitious with the covers of Footprints, Naima and So What with the group composition Out of Madness (Scott/Smallie/Trucks) thrown in between the first two to break things up and, impressively those ambitious covers come across as pretty much of a piece with what had preceded them, as well as the Evil Clown and Egg 15 that follow. Forty-one seconds of Sarod Outro brings a rather remarkable debut to a close.
Whether or not Derek Trucks is (as has been hypothesised by, among others Gregg Allman) the reincarnation of Duane Allman there's no doubt he was, right from the very earliest stages of his career, ploughing a row very similar to the one Duane might well have chosen himself, aided by a flawless rhythm section capable of turn on a pinhead precision. Given the time lapse since the album came out, and given exposure to subsequent work, your jaw mightn't drop quite as far as it would have if you'd heard this back in the day, but it's a classic recording that's thoroughly worth investigating.
