IT Law in Ireland
Information Technology law issues with a focus on fundamental rights.
US court upholds free / open source licences
Great news for the free software / open source world - in Jacobsen v. Katzer the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (a leading US IP court) has upheld a free software licence in a way which makes it much easier for the authors of free software to prevent its misuse. (The particular licence is the Artistic licence, but the principles apply across the board).
This is hugely significant as it resolves what has, until now, been a major dispute as to the effect of free software licences in US law.
The mainstream view - that of the proponents of free software (1, 2) - has been that free software licences set conditions on the use of the software. Breach those conditions (e.g. by modifying and then distributing code under a proprietary licence, or by failing to attribute) and the licence evaporates so that you are then infringing the copyright of the author. The full force of copyright law can then come into play - you can, for example, have an interlocutory injunction awarded against you restraining you from using the code.
Some, though, have argued that a free software licence amounts to a general licence to copy, modify, etc. with mere contractual restrictions on what the licensee can do. (E.g.) If true, this would mean that breaching the terms of the licence would merely be a breach of contract, not a breach of copyright. This would, for example, make it more difficult for the author to obtain an injunction against the infringer. It might also cast doubt on the enforceability of free software licences, for example by requiring authors to show that the elements of a contract were present before they could enforce restrictions against infringers.
Jacobsen v. Katzer resolves this argument conclusively in favour of the mainstream view, and holds that while free software licences may also have a contractual element, the restrictions they impose are conditions and not merely contractual restrictions. It also contains a striking judicial endorsement of the objectives and legitimacy of open source / free software generally.
Lessig and Groklaw have more.

Judge: Bulletin board users "say the first things that come into their heads"
In Smith v. ADVFN Plc & Others Mr Justice Eady of the English High Court recently showed a keen insight into the world of bulletin boards by noting that users are prone to reacting in the heat of the moment, not thinking about what they are doing, and saying the first thing that comes into their heads. A statement of the blindingly obvious? Perhaps. But the underlying point is important.
A perennial problem with defamation on the internet has been that of tone. Casual conversations - on bulletin boards or blog post comments - can feel as though they are transient and ephemeral. People write in a way which they would never use in a more formal setting such as a newspaper's letters page. But this perceived informality may clash with the approach taken by libel lawyers and courts, who are used to parsing newspaper articles closely for any possible defamatory meaning and who may apply this approach to turn the loose language of a post into something defamatory.
Offline, casual conversations also benefit from the more relaxed rules of slander, where oral (as opposed to written) communications generally don't give a person a right to sue for defamation unless they have suffered actual damage as a result. Online, though, the distinction between slander and libel evaporates so that (in most jurisdictions) an internet posting - however casual - will be treated as libel rather than slander, giving a person a right to sue irrespective of whether they have suffered any actual harm.
Significantly, however, in Smith v. ADVFN Mr Justice Eady took the informal nature of bulletin boards into account in deciding whether a claimant had a chance of succeeding in a defamation action, holding that these cases should often be treated as closer to slander so that the casual nature of posts should be taken into account when interpreting them. His summary of "the nature of bulletin boards" is worth quoting in full:
13. It is necessary to have well in mind the nature of bulletin board communications, which are a relatively recent development. This is central to a proper consideration of all the matters now before the court.
14. This has been explained in the material before me and is, in any event, nowadays a matter of general knowledge. Particular characteristics which I should have in mind are that they are read by relatively few people, most of whom will share an interest in the subject-matter; they are rather like contributions to a casual conversation (the analogy sometimes being drawn with people chatting in a bar) which people simply note before moving on; they are often uninhibited, casual and ill thought out; those who participate know this and expect a certain amount of repartee or "give and take".
15. The participants in these exchanges were mostly using pseudonyms (or "avatars"), so that their identities will often not be known to others. This is no doubt a disinhibiting factor affecting what people are prepared to say in this special environment.
16. When considered in the context of defamation law, therefore, communications of this kind are much more akin to slanders (this cause of action being nowadays relatively rare) than to the usual, more permanent kind of communications found in libel actions. People do not often take a "thread" and go through it as a whole like a newspaper article. They tend to read the remarks, make their own contributions if they feel inclined, and think no more about it.
17. It is this analogy with slander which led me in my ruling of 12 May to refer to "mere vulgar abuse", which used to be discussed quite often in the heyday of slander actions. It is not so much a defence that is unique to slander as an aspect of interpreting the meaning of words. From the context of casual conversations, one can often tell that a remark is not to be taken literally or seriously and is rather to be construed merely as abuse. That is less common in the case of more permanent written communication, although it is by no means unknown. But in the case of a bulletin board thread it is often obvious to casual observers that people are just saying the first thing that comes into their heads and reacting in the heat of the moment. The remarks are often not intended, or to be taken, as serious.

Fake Facebook profile case - Full decision now available
Remember the libel action brought by a businessman against a former friend who created a false Facebook profile under his name? The full text of that decision is now available on BAILII as Applause Store Productions Ltd and Firsht v. Raphael. The bulk of the decision is unremarkable and deals with the (unconvincing) attempts by the defendant to deny that he was responsible for creating the page, but there are some interesting comments showing how judges are putting a figure on damages where material is only available for a short period of time to a relatively small number of people:
Ultimately, I have to approach the question of damages in the same way as a jury would, giving a verdict without a reasoned judgment. I bear in mind, of course, that the profile and group were only available on Facebook between 19th/20th June and 6th July 2007, when Facebook appears to have taken the material down at Mr Firsht's request. Given the times when the material was put up and taken down, that is a period of 17 days (for the profile) and 16 days (for the group). I bear in mind also the limited extent of proved publication, but I accept that Facebook is a medium in which users do regularly search for the names of others whom they know, and anyone who searched for the name Mathew Firsht during those few days will have found the false group without difficulty. In my view, a not insubstantial number of people is likely to have done so. By that I have in mind a substantial two-figure, rather than a three-figure, number. I also accept that the Defendant has increased the hurt and upset of Mr Firsht by the allegations which he rashly made in his original Defence and by his persistence in a defence which I have founded to be built on lies, which has compelled Mr Firsht to give evidence and face lengthy cross-examination in a public trial.
The libel is, as Ms Skinner rightly said, not at the top end of the scale, although it is serious enough to say of a successful businessman that (as I have found the words to mean) he owes substantial sums of money which he has repeatedly avoided paying by lying and making implausible excuses, so that he is not to be trusted in the financial conduct of his business and represents a serious credit risk. I do take into account also the effect on Mr Firsht of the unpleasant allegations against him which the Defendant made in his original Defence, and the fact that the Defendant has persisted to trial in a case which I have found to be no more than a lie. It seems to me that a proper award for the libel of Mr Firsht, to include an element for aggravation of damage, is £15,000. The pleaded meaning in the case of the company - against which the allegations of debt and dishonest prevarication are not directly made - is just the consequential meaning, that as a result of Mr Firsht's conduct the company is not to be trusted in the financial conduct of its business and represents a serious credit risk. It seems to me that a substantially lower award should be made in respect of the company, and in my judgment the right figure is £5,000.

Think Outside the X
Warning: Spoilers!
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?
I've written before about how sex tech can help people with disabilities or injuries expand their options when it comes to exploring and expressing sexuality. This seems to be a universally supported idea among Sex Drive readers and sex educators, and you have been wonderful in contacting me with your own suggestions for coping with difficult sexual situations.
I couldn't help but think of that as I watched X-Men: The Last Stand over the weekend. I suppose I should take a moment to confess that I have not read an X-Men comic in nigh on 16 years, and even then I read more of its spinoff X-Calibre. My comments about X-Men are based on the movies more than the original stories.
One theme that surfaces in every X-Men movie adaptation is the sexual tension between Rogue and Bobby.
Rogue's power is that she absorbs the life of anyone she touches skin-to-skin, and this is one of the few consistencies between comic-book Rogue and movie Rogue.
By "absorbs the life" I mean she takes in the person's memories, personality, abilities – and life, if she doesn't let go soon enough. Rogue can literally kill with a kiss.
Her movie boyfriend Bobby, alias Iceman, can freeze moisture, which might not sound impressive until you remember your own body is about 60 percent water. According to the Marvel Directory, Iceman's "only limitations are his own imagination, his skill as a sculptor, the amount of available moisture, and the ambient air temperature, which determines how long his ice sculpture will stay icy."
In the movies, Rogue and Bobby are young people in love and old enough to do something about it, but they think they can't. Rogue's potential frightens them both.
Rogue watches in torment as Bobby naturally hugs and touches other students, comforting them or just playing around. She holds his hand through her glove and wishes she could give up her mutant power.
Unfortunately for this romantic plot point, it's based on ignorance. We already have the technology in our mundane world to work around the problem, and that's without the X-Men's incredible engineering resources.
I'll skip the usual reminders about cybersex and phone sex and other types of sex where your minds entwine but your bodies stay separate, although many long-distance lovers prefer these substitutes to breaking their hearts looking closer to home for a love connection.
Instead, let's look at how sex tech can neutralize the danger and let these two touch.
Remote-control sex toys are an obvious workaround. They could sit a foot apart, strip one another's clothing off down to the gloves. Stroke each other's skin through the gloves and progress to toys as the need arises.
Remote controls prevent accidental brushing of skin, and allow for playfulness as the other person doesn't quite know what you're going to do next.
No need to focus solely on genitals here, either. Remember the woman who uses a vibrating masturbation sleeve on her forearm?
I imagine Rogue's gloved fingertips light on the pulse in the hollow of Bobby's neck, then tracing his collarbone, teasing. Then firmer down the pec, across the nipple, stop for a pinch, smooth it over with her palm. Down his ribs, over his belly, lower, lower, taking her time.
And when she wraps her silky-smooth gloved hand around his penis, what do you think Bobby's reaction will be? Rejection that she can't touch him with skin?
Rogue isn't the only one who can build up a collection of gloves in various textures. And toys come for both sexes. Even without skin-to-skin touch, this relationship can be reciprocal.
Right about now some of you are shaking your heads at my romantic notions, pointing out that there is no substitute for human touch. Or reminding me that these are 19-year-olds and the subtleties of adaptive sex require more maturity than that.
I'm not so sure, especially considering their unusual childhoods. If they are mature enough to fight and perhaps kill or die like adults for their freedom, they are mature enough to make love like adults.
I always say that sex tech would never replace sex. We will always long for and need touch.
Yet when your touch kills, you have to adapt. And if you love someone – especially with the deep passion of youth – you might sacrifice something other people take for granted. You might consider it not a sacrifice at all but rather a circumstance of your particular relationship.
One common sex therapy method is to retrain your body to accept touch by stroking yourself with different objects, like flannel, Jell-O and oil. Extend that concept and think of all the things Rogue and Bobby could touch each other with that aren't Rogue's skin.
Fluffy things. Rough things. Smooth things. Hard, nubbly things that retain warmth.
In the fictional X-Men universe, the technological options are even greater. The school's training simulation room bears an uncanny resemblance to the Enterprise's holodeck. Surely the young lovers could find adequate room for exploration therein?
And I just read an article in National Geographic that cites a futuristic nanofabric so lightweight and thin, one ounce of it could cover an acre. That's an improvement on today's dental dams – used to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases during oral sex – and something I'll bet could be adapted into a safer-sex suit.
My point is not to destroy the romantic agony of a fun blockbuster movie. It just struck me that sometimes the obstacles preventing us from love or sex are not quite as insurmountable as we believe. And that often it is our beliefs, more than the reality, that hold us back.
As for Rogue and Bobby, all I can say is, look, children, to your elders. Look at what Logan and Scott and Jean have had to do for love. We should all be humbled by their example.
Surely you can be grateful for safer-sex technologies rather than endure that.
See you next Friday,
Regina Lynn

Obama's War on Coal is Devastating Small Communities
Deneen BorelliNovember 4, 2013
EPA sign
The harm caused by EPA's regulatory assault on the coal industry is spreading to communities throughout coal country. Miners in West Virginia and Kentucky were the first to feel the consequences of President Obama's war on coal when they lost their jobs as the industry responds to plummeting utility demand for coal.
According to SNL Financial, more than 25,000 miner jobs were lost since 2011.
Now utility workers and their surrounding communities are feeling the impact as power companies close coal-fired power plants in response to a series of EPA regulations issued during Obama's first term. Utility executives are finding it cheaper to close plants instead of retrofitting them to comply with EPA's regulatory mandates.
A story in the Charleston Daily Mail describes the economic impact to the town of Louisa, KY as it prepares to deal with the planned closure of the Big Sandy power plant.
For decades, the nearby Big Sandy power plant did more than keep the lights on – it supplied this Appalachian town with a bounty of tax revenue and some of the best-paying jobs around as it converted regional coal into electricity.
Massive piles of coal are still stacked outside the Big Sandy complex, but now its prospects are dim.
Kentucky Power Co., which operates the two-unit Big Sandy complex in Lawrence County, plans to close the larger 800-megawatt unit in 2015. Dozens of prime jobs will be lost in a county of 16,000 people with little other industry and a jobless rate around 10 percent.
"It's bad and it's going to get worse," County Attorney Mike Hogan said.
Mom-and-pop stores lining the small downtown worry the fallout will hurt business. The school district is bracing for a potentially big loss of revenue as an economic mainstay prepares to downsize in the hilly county across the Big Sandy River from West Virginia.
The story mentions that the power plant was responsible for "more than $900,000 a year in local property tax revenues, with slightly more than half going to the schools."
Tragically, the plight of Louisa, KY is going to be repeated hundreds of times as an estimated 285 coal-based power units will be closing in part because of EPA regulations.
Facing elimination of their economic future, coal miners are starting to fight back. Recently, over 5,000 coal miners traveled to D.C. to attend a rally for their jobs (see news video above). The rally received broad media coverage including a segment on "The Kelly File" with host Megyn Kelly and my husband Tom was also interviewed on The Blaze TV's "Wilkow!" with host Andrew Wilkow.
Obama's war on coal is devastating the lives of thousands of Americans and his anti-fossil fuel crusade is another reminder that policies from Washington, D.C. have a tremendous impact on our lives.

Font of all wisdom, or not?
The library used to be the heart of the university. Not any more. In June 2007, Michael Gorman, the former president of the American Library Association, warned that "a generation of intellectual sluggards incapable of moving beyond the internet" was being produced at universities. He described Wikipedia, along with Google, as "the intellectual equivalent of a dietitian who recommends a steady diet of Big Macs". But why shouldn't people use the net? The internet is also the modern-day equivalent of the first known library of its kind, the Library at Alexandria.
That one, too, was charged with collecting all the world's knowledge. Its shelves were filled with new works in mathematics, astronomy, physics, natural sciences and other subjects. The library's aims could not have been more lofty: over the scrolls, carved into the wall above, a famous inscription read: "The place of the cure of the soul."
Yet the reality was more prosaic. The knowledge came largely from lavishly funded trips to the book fairs of Rhodes and Athens, coupled with a policy (it was whispered) of pulling the books off every ship that came into port, keeping the originals and returning only copies to their owners.
A similarly lofty aim, and a similar opportunism, seems to apply to the new internet encyclopaedias, notably Wikipedia, "the world's knowledge base", which started by shamelessly plundering articles from the celebrated 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which is now in the public domain. And not only that: articles were also grabbed from the 1849 Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology edited by William Smith, Hugh James Rose's 1853 Biographical Dictionary, Matthew George Easton's Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1897) and many others. No wonder Wikipedia boasts nearly three million entries.
But despite its success, as measured in web traffic - it is the seventh most visited site in the US - the future for Wikipedia looks these days no more assured than that of the Library in Alexandria. It is not "trusted" and is increasingly vulnerable to rival initiatives. It is in this context that Wikipedia's co-founder, Larry Sanger, who left that project abruptly, created an alternative online collaborative encyclopaedia, to be written by "experts", which he called Citizendium. Where Wikipedia is huge and, well, encyclopaedic, Citizendium, with fewer than 100 articles "approved", is tiny and, well, "scholarly". On the site's introductory page Sanger explains: "We do not think that Wikipedia is 'good enough'. We think humanity can do better."
He then lists some of Wikipedia's known problems: "Many of the articles are written amateurishly. Too often they are mere disconnected grab-bags of factoids, not made coherent by any sort of narrative. Many experts have been driven away because know-nothings insist on ruining their articles."
Citizendium's promise instead is to harness the networking power of the internet to rationalise Wikipedia and Google and to finally provide that elusive universal library.
Ironically though, given that Sanger complains that his Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales acts as a law unto himself, "not subject to a written constitution, with no official position, but wielding considerable authority in the community", Citizendium operates without a clear constitutional framework, with Sanger as editor-in-chief micro-managing articles as well as creating general policy.
Yet, if many of Citizendium's criticisms seem to apply equally to itself, at least one of its innovations - the "peer review" of pages followed by their protection from future editing - seems to have influenced a fundamental rethink by its Big Brother predecessor. Under new proposals, many Wikipedia articles will be protected from changes by a group of editors. "You can edit this page" has morphed into "You can suggest an edit to this page".
More tempting to academics may be to create their own "wiki", on their own subjects and on their own terms. Indeed, it is already possible via resources such as philosophical-investigations.wikidot.com.

99 Rock Presents
with The Aquabats, Dog Party
Sat, Jul 6
Reel Big Fish were one of the legions of Southern California ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the mid-'90s success of No Doubt and Sublime. Like most of their peers, they were distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humor, ironic covers of new wave pop songs, and metallic shards of ska. The group cultivated an underground following that broke into the mainstream in summer 1997, when the single "Sell Out" became a modern rock radio and MTV favorite. Reel Big Fish's popularity gradually waned in the subsequent years, following the decline of ska-punk as a marketable genre. Nevertheless, the band restructured its lineup and continued issuing new material to a smaller (yet considerably rabid) fan base. Based in Huntington Beach, California, Reel Big Fish were originally a trio comprised of vocalist/guitarist Aaron Barrett, bassist Matt Wong, and drummer Andrew Gonzales. At that stage, the group was a conventional rock band with pop-metal leanings that covered both classic rock and Top 40 songs --essentially, it was music designed for frat parties. After several months, the band discovered ska and decided to bolster its lineup with the addition of horn players. Reel Big Fish had a difficult time maintaining a stable horn section, and it took several years before their final lineup -- featuring Tavis Werts (trumpet), Scott Klopfenstein (trumpet, vocals), Grant Barry (trombone), and Dan Regan (trombone) -- fell into place. Everything Sucks This definitive incarnation of Reel Big Fish recorded its self-released debut album, Everything Sucks, in 1995. Everything Sucks became a word-of-mouth underground hit in ska-punk and college circles, which gave the band enough leverage to sign with the indie label Mojo Records. The label's president, Jay Rifkin, and former Oingo Boingo bassist John Avila co-produced Turn the Radio Off, which marked the band's first album for Mojo. Turn the Radio Off was unleashed in August 1996, and over the next year, Reel Big Fish continually toured in support of the album's release, expanding their fan base all the while. In spring 1997, the single "Sell Out" began receiving heavy airplay from several influential modern rock stations in the U.S., which soon translated into MTV support for the song's quirky video. By summer, the song had become a moderate modern rock hit, and the album had charted in the Top 100. In July 1997, Reel Big Fish released the Keep Your Receipt EP, which contained "Sell Out" and several outtakes, new songs, and live cuts. Why Do They Rock So Hard followed a year later, and in early 2000 the band returned with a reissued version of Everything Sucks. Cheer Up!
The guys wound up on Jive Records in fall 2001 when their current label, Mojo, was bought by Jive's parent label, Zomba. Reel Big Fish's first release for Jive, a rock-oriented record entitled Cheer Up!, appeared in mid-2002. Years of touring followed, during which the band shared stages with the likes of Sum 41, Catch 22, Lucky Boys Confusion, the Matches, and Zebrahead. Replacement drummer Carlos de la Garza (formerly of Suburban Rhythm) eventually decided to leave the lineup, and his last show with the group was recorded live at Anaheim's House of Blues in June 2003. A DVD of that performance, The Show Must Go Off!, was released by the end of the year, and the band's next album, the cynical yet catchy We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy, was issued in April 2005. By this time, the group's lineup had shifted to include Barrett, Regan, Klopfenstein, Wong, new trumpeter John Christianson, and drummer Justin Ferreira (who was later replaced by Ryland Steen). Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album Touring continued for the rest of the year, and Reel Big Fish happily parted ways with Jive in January 2006, having wished to be dropped from the label since Cheer Up!'s release. A co-headlining tour with MxPx followed that summer, allowing Reel Big Fish the chance to gain their footing as an independent band. In August, the group self-released a double-disc live CD (along with an accompanying DVD) titled Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album. A few months later -- and much to the annoyance of the band -- Jive issued its own Reel Big Fish album, a best-of compilation entitled Greatest Hit...and More. Reel Big Fish received no money from the album's sales, as Jive Records now owned the rights to the bulk of their songs. Duet All Night Long Nevertheless, Reel Big Fish returned with some new material in February 2007, splitting an EP (Duet All Night Long) with their friends in Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer. Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free followed several months later, marking the group's first full-length studio release since leaving Jive's roster, and 2009's Fame, Fortune and Fornication found the band covering songs by the likes of Poison, Slade, and Tom Petty. In 2011, longtime member Scott Klopfenstein left Reel Big Fish to focus on raising a family, with Goldfinger's Matt Appleton taking over for him. The following year, the band released its first album of new material in five years, Candy Coated Fury.
In fall of 2018, thousands of Aquabats fans young
and old stood up and proclaimed, "I am The
Aquabats!," by joining the band's Kickstarter and
raising over $690,000 – funding two new full-length studio albums and 12 webexclusive
episodes of their Emmy Award-winning kids' show The Aquabats! Super
Now the group carries that momentum in 2019 with their first release since 2011's
Hi-Five Soup! The Aquabats! Super Show! Soundtrack Vol. 1 is a 27-track genredefying,
high-energy celebration of the wackiness that made Super Show! some of
the most unique kids' TV in the last decade. Fans of the show and The Aquabats'
music alike will love getting their hands on never-before-heard extended versions of
tunes from the show, including "Burger Rain," "Feel My Steel" and "The Dude
Look for 2 new songs from the soundtrack to release on April 26, plus a video for
fan-favorite song "Feel My Steel" on May 15. The Aquabats! Super Show!
Soundtrack Vol. 1 will be available on CD, vinyl and digital download on June 7.
2019 marks the band's 25th year and promises to be one of their best yet. A full
touring slate will span the summer, where we'll see The Aquabats hit the road with
longtime friends Reel Big Fish from June 28 to July 21. The year will round out with
West and East Coast headlining tours in the fall to coincide with the release of their
first fan-funded full-length studio album in October.
About The Aquabats
TV's punk rock superheroes The Aquabats formed in 1994 in Orange County as a
way to have some harmless fun in a music scene that took itself too seriously. Their
Paul Frank designed "power belts," trademark blue rash guards, black eye masks,
"anti-negativity" helmets and onstage antics quickly caught on, earning the group a
fiercely loyal following that spans generations. Their line-up and music is
continuously evolving, including Blink 182's Travis Barker as former drummer
"Baron Von Tito." To date, The Aquabats' music library includes The Return of the
Aquabats (1996), The Fury of the Aquabats! (1997), The Aquabats vs. The Floating
Eye of Death (1999), Myths, Legends and Other Amazing Adventures, Vol. 2
(2000), Yo! Check Out This Ride! (EP, 2004) Charge!! (2005), Radio Down! (EP,
2010), Hi-Five Soup! (2011).
Current Aquabats are Christian Jacobs, "The MC Bat Commander" (lead singer),
Chad Larson, "Crash McLarson" (bass, vocals), Ian Fowles, "EagleBones
FalconHawk" (guitar), Richard Falomir, "Ricky Fitness" (drums), and James Briggs,
"Jimmy the Robot" (keyboards, woodwinds, vocals).
About The Aquabats! Super Show!
In 2012, the band debuted The Aquabats! Super Show!, a live-action musical
comedy television series which aired on the Hub Network. Known for its bizarre
humor, callback style and celebrity guest appearances ("Weird Al" Yankovic,
Tony Hawk, Mark Mothersbaugh, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rhys Darby, Jon
Heder, Paul Scheer and more), the show received eight multiple Daytime EMMY
nominations and one win. Super Show!'s run was cut short when The Hub closed
in 2014, leaving fans consistently asking for a return.
California-based, indie rock band, composed of sisters: Gwendolyn and Lucy Giles.

The Terror at Blue John Gap (Trailer)
Today we have a trailer for the upcoming short film "The Terror at Blue John Gap". The film, based upon a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle mixed with elements of H.P Lovecraft, also serves as a prequel to events in the main No Place Like Holmes web series. Starring Philip Kay, Mark Davis, Victoria Harrild, Marina Lace, Timothy Bedford, and Michaela McKensie.
The Terror at Blue John Gap Poster
Today we have a poster for the upcoming short film "The Terror at Blue John Gap".
Check back this weekend to view a trailer!
2nd Set of Photos for The Terror at Blue John Gap
Today we have a 2nd set of photos for the upcoming short film "The Terror at Blue John Gap" - an adaptation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tale "Blue John Gap."
Similar to the recent Professor Challenger film, the piece is set within the NPLH universe, and acts as a precursor to events seen in the first episode, as well as the upcoming 8th series.
The film is currently scheduled for a Summer release date.
The Truth Lies Within
Today sees the release of The Truth Lies Within. A short film adaption of The New Catacomb by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
After a workplace affair leaves the career of archaeologist Dr. Kennedy hanging by a thread, he will need the biggest find of his life to redeem himself. Maybe his old friend Julius can help?
The story was first published in The Sunlight Year-Book in 1898 under the title Burger's Secret, but later became known as The New Catacomb.
John Rittey, Louis MacKenzie, Heather Russell-Kay, and Philip Bubb star.
9 Years of NPLH
9 years ago today, the first NPLH episode came out! I think that means that I should probably make some sort of statement, but I am not sure what I am meant to say.
I would be lying if I said that I had no idea that I would still be doing it all this time later. I had set out to make the show over a ten year period. Which, in hindsight, was sort of ridiculous given that I had never directed/edited or produced at that point. Yet, here I still am doing this, and more.
It is very hard to fully explain all that it means to me, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it changed my life for the better. By no means overnight, but incremental. It has seen some amazing people come and go into my life, was my training ground for so many aspects of the film word, and brought me into contact with passionate and interesting Holmesians around the world. It led to me having an audiobook, invites to Sherlockian events, being sent way too many Sherlock Holmes books than I can ever read in a lifetime, and autograph requests from all over the globe. I am just excited, if not more, than when I first started. There are many more documentaries to make, mysteries to solve, and oft overlooked work by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that I still wish to adapt and share with the world. And lots more too, I am sure.
Thank you for everyone who has watched, shared, liked, commented, and cared for my content nearly a decade on from when I first started.
Ever so sincerely yours,
Ross K. Foad
The Terror at Blue John Gap - 1st Set of Photos.

Q: "No rule to make target" when compiling glib I am currently trying to build a software. However during its compilation, it stops with the following error messages:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h', needed by `GLib-2.0.gir'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/gobject-introspection-1.30.0'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/gobject-introspection-1.30.0'

make: *** [all] Error 2
...
I read a thread about a similar error message here: gcc makefile error: "No rule to make target ..." however, I was not able to use it on my case. All I can say is that the dir where glibconfig.h is found, shows here:
$(GLIB_LIBDIR)/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h

I guess I have to edit the Makefile and add something, but what? Not sure what .gir files are

I've homeschooled my son, Jess, for the past 7 years. During that time, I've tried a lot of things and talked to many other homeschool parents about what works and what does not work with their children.
2. Methods of Teaching: Since visual, audio, and hands on learning are the primary formats for teaching, finding a way to do all 3 is often the best way to ensure that the material is not only understood, but retained. The best scenario for my family is to watch a video or movie about the topic, read about in a book of some sort, and then do an activity at home or visit a museum or some other hands-on exhibit.
3. Field Trips. Field trips are a great way to give a 3D lesson about a topic. For kids who are visual or need to touch things, field trips are fabulous.
4. Spontaneous vs. the Need for a Plan: Some children (and adults) need a clear plan and clear direction. Others do much better when given a goal and left to their own means to figure out how. It's important to know that about yourself and your children. See more comments about this further down the page.
5. People who are kinesthetic, like myself, often need to take notes. It is the act of moving the pencil with the body that "anchors in" the information. Usually they don't even need to re-read the notes. Just the act of taking them is enough. It's possible that doodling could do the same thing. I just prefer to take notes when I am hearing or viewing a lecture about something.
6. Biorhythms: Some people are morning people and others are night people. A morning person is more "on" earlier in the day. A night person is more "on" at a much later time. If you can schedule your most intense education times to match up with the child's normal time of greatest clarity, it will significantly increase how easily they understand the material.
7. Diet: Too much sugar, an unhealthy diet, and food allergies can greatly impact your child's ability to learn. Learn all you can about good nutrition. But remember to follow the 80/20 rule. Try to eat as healthy as possible 80% of the time. Don't sweat the other 20%. And give yourself, and your family, a treat sometimes. Studies show that those who are seriously uptight about what they eat, and therefore get stressed when there is nothing on the menu at a restaurant or a potluck that is normally on their diet, can damage their wellbeing just by the stress and worry. So . . . do the best you can and then just let it go.
8. Great Educational Resources are available everywhere. Many of the good one's online are talked about on the various pages of this website. But don't stop there. Scout out library book sales, homeschool curriculum sales and swaps, yard sales, used book stores, and second hand stores. You will be amazed at the treasures you can find. For early and elementary education, Sam's Club has an amazing amount very reasonably priced gems. Don't forget Amazon and eBay. Sometimes, if you are really lucky, schools give away their old textbooks and other materials. You will think you've struck gold if you come across one of those.
Los Alamos, NM, home of the atomic bomb, homeland security, and and an outrageous number of Ph.D. level scientists has a great school system and a fabulous library. Once a year they open up a warehouse to homeschoolers to take whatever they want from the educational materials being retired. Thousands of textbooks, posters, software programs, you name it, all for free and with no limits. Wouldn't it be a grand thing if other school systems would do the same. *I haven't lived in New Mexico for a couple of years, so I'm not sure if this activity is still going on. I certainly hope so. If you are in New Mexico, join one of the Santa Fe homeschool groups to find out.
9. Feeling like an outcast. Being a homeschool parent suddenly makes you different from 99.9% of the rest of the world. You are doing things differently. Your family is probably living on one income. And you and your children spend night and day together all the time. Depending on where you live, it can feel like you've suddenly entered the Twilight Zone.
People stare strangely at you when you enter the library, the grocery store, or the park with your children during school hours. Friends and family might think you've gone crazy and some get very upset. From total strangers to your own parents, some people feel the need to tell you that "you just aren't doing it right" and at least in the beginning, you will probably wonder if they are right.
It takes great courage to live life on your terms. It takes a deep commitment and great conviction to go against the norm and do what you feel is right for your children ~ despite what others may think.
You no longer seem to fit in. But it's O.K. Because becoming a homeschool parent suddenly gives you a free pass to participate with another tribe where you are accepted and your choices are understood. If you are homeschooling, then you are already a card carrying member.
8.Your new tribe is called homeschoolers and they are everywhere. It might take awhile to find just the right fit. But keep looking because they are out there. And when you find them, you will feel like you have finally found "home."
Homeschool parents and children are some of the most interesting people you will ever meet. Keep in mind, though, that homeschooling is going against the norm. So the people doing it tend to also be delightfully different in their philosophy and ways of looking at life.
10. Homeschoolers are a lot like cowboys. They are all out there doing it their own way. Some of those ways will align with what you believe and what you are doing. And others won't. The best way to find them . . .
11. Join a homeschool group. Most of them are available through yahoo groups. Or type your state name followed by the words HOMESCHOOL GROUPS into Google or another search engine. If you leave off your state and just type in homeschool groups to a search engine you will come across a couple of websites like homeschool.com and home-school.com that claim to have an extensive groups list. I participate in 5 different homeschool groups in Virginia and not one of them is listed on either site. Definitely include the state if you want to find a group.
Whether you just read the posts or get very involved, leading classes and activities, you will find these groups invaluable. They offer a plethora of homeschooling advice and experience. You can find out about what books or programs were useful, how to help your kids stay focused, and enjoy play days, group classes, and field trips. You can also, often, borrow books or be given free one's. Soon, your children will have friends to do activities with. And so will you!
Some of my very best friends in the world are other homeschool parents that I've met through the various homeschool groups and activities that we have participated in over the years.
12. Scheduling with homeschoolers can be frustrating. Like I mentioned earlier, homeschoolers tend to be like cowboys and they do their own thing. The more kids, the more activities, and the harder it becomes to schedule an event, play date, or class. I liken it to herding cats.
When push comes to shove, regardless of what they said they would do, the family will always come first. So, families don't show up for numerous reasons to things you were expecting them to attend. That's just the way it is with homeschoolers. So don't worry about it and definitely don't take it personally.
13. Plan your own events. Depending on the group you find, it may be left to you to plan events and schedule activities. So just do it. Send out a message to the group saying I'm thinking about _____ (you fill in the blank). And then ask if anyone is interested. Once you get some interest, then start proposing dates or times and see who can attend. Or ask them to suggest a better date or time if the one you suggested doesn't work. With homeschoolers', it is practically impossible to find a date and time that will work for everyone. So just do the best you can to accommodate as many as possible. Then let it go.
14. Learning all the time. The beautiful thing about homeschooling is that every moment of every day becomes a learning experience. No matter what topic is being discussed, with a little quick thinking you can turn it into a whole lesson about that topic or another one.
What sage advice do you have to offer other homeschool parents?

A Thank You Letter to CN for their Continued Support
Posted in: Inspirational Posts, Trail News
Thank you to Canadian National Railway (CN) and specifically Al, Tiffany and Janet for your generous support of our trail.
When I look back at some of the historic pictures that were taken during the original construction of the rail bed in the early 1900's, I am quite certain that none of the engineers, surveyors and contractors ever imagined that 100 years later their hard work building a railway through this challenging terrain with many water course crossings would become one of the most precious community assets that we have today. With your gift this year, you have continued this CN legacy!
The timing of your funding could not have been better. From 2015 to 2018, we recapitalized the trail, resurfacing 32.5km of trail, improving the drainage, and re-decking 8 of the 9 timber deck bridges on our trail. At that time, the Ingram River Bridge deck still had a few years of life in it. By 2019, the deck began to deteriorate. Its replacement was our number one priority in 2020.
The generosity of your grant is very much appreciated. On a crusher dust trail, in this climate the work to keep the trail in great condition is always ongoing. The funds remaining after the bridge deck project were used to upgrade the trail surface and improve chronic drainage issues.

The number of trail users has increased dramatically during COVID19. Many users have discovered the trail and its natural beauty for the first time.
On behalf of the trail users from our immediate community and the ones that come from a distance to enjoy it, the local merchants who depend on the trail users for some of their livelihood, our Rum Runners Group and the 5 partner trails that promote cycling tourism in Nova Scotia, the organizers of fund raising events (this year the Ride for Cancer we had 800 cyclists on our trail – a total of $1.3M was raised for breast cancer), the schools and day cares who use our trail for activities and the local sporting and wellness organizations, we thank CN for their generosity.

Printing costs keep rising, and businesses are searching for ways to reduce them and keep them from eating away at their bottom line. Online increase printing is one of the wisest options they can take to stop the problem and add to their profits.
One thing about online printing that customers really appreciate is its cost effectiveness. It's evident how that online printers are cheaper compared to their traditional counterparts. This remains true for any kind of printing, be it digital or offset. A significant amount of cash may be saved just by ordering such materials online, from marketing postcards to business cards and everything else. This is because of the reduced overheads that come with operating an online printing business. While retail printers have to cover high-priced rent and the cost of employing a full-time, in-house staff, online printers don't have such financial burden. That is the main reason online printing services are always more affordable.
Just by being able to order your business cards, posters or brochures from the comfort of your home or office, you can easily see why online printers are the more practical choice compared to traditional printers. But this kind of convenience doesn't even stop there – you can't just order anywhere you want, but also anytime. Whether it's 12 noon or 12 midnight, you dictate the time. These printers are, of course, operating 24 hours, 7 days a week. Moreover, the order forms are also typically easy to use. If you already have a design, you simply need to send the file or files to the printer, and they will do the rest. If you would like the printer to create the design for you, however, there will also be a user-friendly web interface that may be used to facilitate your communication with the company's designer.
When you order from an online printing company, you will have access to so many more printing options that a traditional printer is often unable to provide. The product range and expertise you will find on the Internet is simply unparalleled. Different materials, different colors, different techniques – there is so much to explore when you go online for your printing needs.
Lastly, online printing services have always prided themselves with superior customer care services through all kinds of efficient media, from chats to emails to landline telephones. In simple terms, for whatever problem you have, you will be able to get a solution in the shortest time possible. For example, if you must need some orders expedited, just talk to them through chat and they will assist you right away. Of course, as online printers, the whole world expects them to be there most of the time, and they are taking this expectation to heart.


This is a transcript of the State of the City address delivered by Mayor Marvin Rees in Bristol on 18 October 2017 during the Festival of the Future City. The audio recording is available below.
Nan is 95. I want to put it on record that I thank her.
I am increasingly asked if I enjoy the job… I can't think why! It's an honour to serve Bristol as Mayor. And thank the people who voted for me.
Last year, I used this speech to outline my desire to close our city's growing inequality gap and use that aspiration, as a thread connecting all my plans and policies.
This must be a city where talent, work, opoprtunity and the city's compassion rather than the wealth of your parents is the key determinant of your life chances.
In this year's annual address, I want to look at two things.
Our city performance, our challenges and achievements, and what we are planning to deliver.
And then I want to look at the city in global governance.
Looking at the city performance, I will start with the council. The starting point has to be that we need a council that is of the city in its diversity, a council that doesn't merely provide services but empowers people and partners, a council that can sometimes stand aside. A council that convenes, listens, asks and enables.
As our inheritance has gradually revealed itself. Alongside government cuts, we faced our own failing financial system, highlighted by the Bundred report, and a tendency to kick difficult decisions down the road. Having asked my deputy Mayor, Craig Cheney to deliver a rigorous financial system that provides transparency, and placed the Finance Director in the leadership team, balancing the budget remains tough but we will do it with clarity and our values. I am grateful to Craig and finance director Denise Murray for their commitment. I also want to thank the wider council team.
I have announced the re-structure of a streamlined management team that will save the council three quarters of a million pounds a year and am working with staff to introduce a set of organisational values, a philosophy of work that will take us toward being the development organisation we need to be.
Nobody is going to vote for us because of it (although you can if you want to) but One of the most important things we can do is bring a council that's financially competent.
My experience has led me to reflect on the nature of political leadership. The city elects its political leaders, all councillors of all parties. Some have fallen into a tired mis-understanding that political leadership means scoring cheap points, tripping up the Mayor with a tricky question (or not so tricky maybe), or to take debate into the weeds of council processes.
The city elected you for leadership, not placard politics, and again tonight, I say to all parties, you have three years before election, step aside from party divides and come and tell me what you want to achieve, work with me and the Labour group to get it done. If results are more important to you than headlines, we will make space for you.
We face a very well publicised budget challenge but we are not alone. Every council now has a 'graph of doom' that shows the funding gap created by austerity versus the rising costs of adult social care and children's services. After a decade of austerity, the UK is heading rapidly towards the bottom of the league table on public spending.
I am sometimes asked to set a 'no cuts' budget, effectively a budget that doesn't balance, or use reserves or borrow. I feel the temptation as austerity is a mistaken philosophy for both moral and strategic reasons, is hurting people and undermining our economy. But the no cuts budget is flawed.
First, we would of course, cede political control of our city to unelected officials from Westminster.
Third, the argument for an unbalanced budget misses a vital fact: that the council is integral to the health of the wider economy and a failure to manage our finances would damage the city's reputation and undermine the confidence of government, private sector and international investors. The developers we need to build our homes would withdraw, the major infrastructure schemes we are planning would struggle to secure the finance needed and the ability to grow our economy would be undermined. The price the people of Bristol would pay through lost growth and lost jobs would be greater than the total value of the services the advocates of an illegal budget are fighting to protect.
So I say again clearly tonight, I will set a balanced budget during my administration. While I continue to point out the damage being caused by austerity and campaign for a better deal from government, the city cannot afford for us to carry forward the attitude of previous administrations of kicking difficult decisions down the road.
Any sportsperson will tell you that leadership is refined in the willingness to step up and deliver when times are against you. We will not back off when most needed and as one of the city's most impressive councillors and human beings, Marg Hickman, said, "we will take 100% responsibility for the decision to get elected".
So, we face those well publicised financial challenges but it would be wrong to see the council just through the lens of decline. Public spending and the workers who deliver the outcome of that spend make a huge contribution to the city, with a billion pound presence. We often overlook the impact we are really having, bringing Labour values of fairness and equality of opportunity.
Bristol remains the only city to keep the impact fund, investing grants to community organisations of 3.3 million pounds.
And over the last few months, we have been working hard to find the best way forward for local libraries, working with Bristol's schools, churches, charities, and children's centres.
Deputy Mayor, Asher Craig has promoted an innovative new model, drawing on our communities' creativity. That way forward could see library services continue for at least 25 of the 27 areas currently served, including those in the most deprived parts of our city. This would be a remarkable achievement in the reduced spend of 1.4 million pounds.
We are keeping a key pledge I made to the city and plan to keep open all 22 children's centres, maintaining our commitment to early intervention. We have a vision of children's centres where we broaden the services and bring in partners to support delivery. This is integral to our focus on tackling inequality.
We are also in the early stages of developing a children's charter working with partners and children from across the city to develop our pledge to all children, to get off to the best possible start in life. I pay tribute to the imagination and leadership of my cabinet lead for children and young people, Helen Godwin.
As they also did in Project Rainbow, helping young people with special education needs to live independently, again collaboration with City of Bristol College, parents and the young people themselves.
The Bristol Boys project has been established to address the gender underachievement of early age boys; the Bristol Scholar programme has been initiated – 42 scholars started at the University of Bristol, 76% of places offered to students to become the first in their family to progress to higher education, 40% from the free dinners cohort and most from state schools.
Our Works programme has been rolled out. We know that Young adults who have had four or more experiences of work while at school are five times more likely to engage in education, employment and training and earn an average of 16% more than their peers who had no such experience. The programme brings together employers, learning providers and communities and will deliver over 1000 meaningful work experiences in the next year, especially for people from low income households. Contributors include EDF, Bristol green Capital Partnership, the Bottleyard and GENeco.
As well as giving children a chance to improve their maths attainment by honing their concentration and special reasoning, it helps to improve social development by teaching children how to move on after making a mistake. Chess is a great leveller – it isn't bound by age, gender, faith, ethnicity or disability, and it's a lot of fun to play.
I look forward to meeting one or more of the children again, when they are grand masters.
We had our first Exceptional People In Care awards and we are grateful to the city partners and organisations who sponsored. From education to personal development and other categories in between, the awards showed our appreciation for amazing achievements and encouraged them in their journey towards a successful life, after care.
We continue to provide social care for our most vulnerable adult citizens. The Care Act of 2014 brought additional responsibilities for local authorities, while social care budgets have been reduced by 26% over four years – and we have found new ways of making a difference, as well as increasing our social care budgets by over 17 million pounds.
We are delivering on another mayoral commitment… Community breakfast clubs have been founded and groups have formed to provide vulnerable children with activities while sharing food and teaching cooking skills.
And we are getting our streets clean. I pledged to clean up Bristol's streets measurably by 2020, and that campaign has made great strides. Hundreds of people have taken part in community clean ups.
We have put substantial efforts into encouraging people to clean up, including a message in the council tax booklet, a Litter Superheroes Campaign on 1000 bins, digital signs of 170 bus stops, inside 200 buses and on many other sites across the city.
We will introduce a new graffiti policy to tackle the plague of tagging, we have tripled the number of eco-schools and provided litter picking kits to thirty primary and secondary schools. We had the Great Bristol Spring Clean, the 'Poo Patrol Big Spray Day' and last weekend saw the start of the Autumn Litter Blitz. I pay tribute to my cabinet lead for waste and energy, Fi Hance, project lead, Kurt James and to all the volunteers who have made an effort, to Bristol Waste Company and to all those who put their own litter in a bin or take it home.
But it hasn't been enough. 7,000 tonnes of waste costs us 6 million pounds to clear up, money we could spend elsewhere, so tonight, I promise you, we will take enforcement seriously. Starting from the 6th November, enforcement teams will be patrolling the streets issuing £75 fixed penalty notices to people caught dropping litter or leaving dog mess. To offenders who persist in making our city dirty, I say, clean up your act now.
In tandem, the Broadmead BID have given one thousand pounds worth of gifts to the city. These will be randomly handed out to people spotted doing something to clean up Bristol. I thank John Hirst of Destination Bristol for his efforts on this initiative.
No institution can deliver alone. We are truly interdependent. What we can do is create the conditions in which success is more rather than less likely and we increase those chances when we work together.
We have great city partners from the police to the NHS, business, unions, voluntary and education sectors. People consistently come forward in the name of contributing to the common good of the city.
We are fortunate to have strong community anchor organizations across the city, especially those facing the greatest challenges.
I am proud that we have 'Joanna Holmes and her team at Barton Hill Settlement, providing employment and financial advice, supporting hundreds of families across that area. Alex Kittow and his team at Southmead Development Trust, who, with Mark Pepper at Ambition Lawrence Weston are leading the way in the building of new types of housing, shaped and led by their local communities. Carolyn Hassan at the Knowle West Media Centre promoting innovative approaches to manufacture and digital inclusion. Steve Sayers and his team at Windmill Hill City Farm rolling out new social enterprise and creating volunteering and employment opportunities for local people. Roger Griffith, Paul Hassan, Kevin Philemon, Pat and Sherrie Hart at Ujima Radio and BCfm providing a platform for different voices and Poku Osei at Babbasa offering bespoke mentoring and career guidance for the city's youth.
One more person I have to mention is someone, who because of the huge amount he does around the city and the sheer level of projects he is involved in, many of you will know, and that is Andy Street. Andy has delivered the hunger programme, has helped to create a modern day Muller Fund, set to finance projects in the city, promoted a debt service and is working with me on establishing a city fund. He is an inspiration and I have no idea where he finds the time.
In the same vein and acknowledging 52% of our citizens help out in their community at least 3 times a year, we have launched a Social Action Plan, to give all our children and young people the best start in life, end Rough Sleeping, create a cleaner and healthier local environment and improve mental health by reducing loneliness and isolation and so much more. To make it easy for everyone to join community action, we have launched the website, Can-Do Bristol, a digital platform designed purely for communities to help themselves, connecting people and businesses to projects looking for help.
I have continued work with Ed Rowberry and Bristol Bath Regional Capital to create a 'City Fund', or more accurately a family of city funds. Many local businesses already contribute to national and global projects through corporate social spending and we seek to better co-ordinate those and attract significant additional funding from outside of Bristol.
Several Business, Charity and Civic Leaders have already engaged in the discussion and I have asked the teams at Bristol & Bath Regional Capital and Quartet to help recruit more partners to the initiative. All are welcome.
Let's return to where I started, with a clear recognition of the key building blocks in a thriving, inclusive city. Housing, transport, infrastructure and jobs underpin our economic growth strategy and the city plan.
On these, we have big aspirations, big ambition. There is a tendency in our city to think we can't deliver big, that we have to think small because we failed to deliver in the past.
I come at this fresh, with a refusal to accept that Bristol has a special case of inability. It's time to think, plan and deliver big and I will lay out some of those aspirations tonight. It is true that although there is a limit to public money, there is no shortage of investment available to the city for the right projects and we are putting together a portfolio of investables, to promote the city to global investors including showcasing some of our plans at the MIPIM conference in France next spring and in China, this December.
On Housing, we initiated eight new-build council housing developments, in Henbury and Lawrence Weston. And we were excited to recently announce the next phase of our new build programme: a council owned site at Alderman Moore, in Ashton Vale, where we will build a mixed development of 130 more new homes.
My Cabinet lead for housing Paul Smith is doing a great job and he has revised our 2020 target to at least 2500 new homes per year.
We have worked hard to place plans for the Temple Quarter in the government's inbox. We have explained our economic growth plans to them and the desperate need to revive a flagging area of the inner city. As a result, and with the support of our colleagues across the combined authority, we have submitted a bid to the Housing Infrastructure Fund. Like all government funds, it will be substantially over-subscribed but we know our bid is strong and has a reasonable chance of success. The bid would bring 150 million pounds to Temple Meads for housing and we also plan to continue with developments in Hengrove, Lockleaze and Southmead.
That bid brings an additionality of over 4000 homes to the city centre, with affordable homes at the heart of the plans.
In addition, we need to use those housing plans to try and breathe life back into Temple Meads Station. I am happy to announce tonight we are working with Network Rail, The Homes and Community Agency and the university to leverage a plan to redevelop Temple Meads Station and the surrounding area, protecting the historic nature of the station but bringing a new retail and hospitality offer to Temple Meads, with a more direct link to the city centre.
We also have plans to bring ambitious development to the Cumberland Basin. We are putting together a proposal that will tear down the old, ugly road network across the western end of the harbour, build a simpler road bridge across the river at a lower point and develop the available land on both sides of the Avon, bringing more affordable housing to the city centre, extending the harbour as a residential area to the west. We may even rename the Cumberland Basin, the Western Harbour. I hope to unveil these plans soon.
My administration inherited a Joint Spatial Plan that my cabinet lead for spatial planning, Nicola Beech has worked hard to ensure the best deal for Bristol. That plan is a starting point, and we have pledged to raise our own ambitions, significantly increasing the number of homes planned for Bristol in the next 20 years. Nicola will head up work to identify land suitable for housing and as I announced last year, we will re-write the local plan and build more densely and higher.
I have also met with city partners with proposals for interim housing to help ease short term crisis and build a bridge between people and the housing market. And, when I leave here tonight, I am going to the 'we can make Home' housing community in Knowle West with local councillor Chris Jackson, where I will spend the night. I invite our journalists present, to come with me.
On transport, as I said I would last year, I launched the congestion task group and they have been operational for 6 months, 20 experts in a room, led by my new cabinet lead for Transport, Mhairi Threlfall. No political games, no obstructions, no vested interests, just people finding solutions.
We have three sub groups; one looking at the technical, one on transport communications and one group looking at Quick Wins. They are also looking at the Bristol Transport Plan that will form the basis of a regional transport plan and inputting into the City Plan for long term aims.
I can also announce our intention to launch a No Idle Roadworks policy. This will improve advance planning of roadworks and how we share information, including signage, with road users as well as the ability for citizens to report idle roadworks, share information and use signage to tell citizens what work is happening and why, explaining when a site may appear idle, and introduce easier ways for citizens to find information about and report roadworks that are inactive using #Bristolroadworks and get reports back.
I have been working with James Freeman, MD at FirstBus to introduce contactless payments on the entire fleet. I can announce tonight that the technology is being fitted and tested with a target date of January 8, 2018 for buses to be available for contactless payment, speeding up journeys. I am extremely grateful to James and his team at First for working with us.
There is always talk about modal shift and the need to reduce congestion by changing the ways people travel. But too often, we talk about this as the magic pill and modal shift will not happen unless there is a viable alternative for people to choose. We continue to work with our bus providers and we press ahead with road improvements but we remain the only core city or major city without a mass transit system.
Metro Bus will help but is only part of the solution. Congestion remains one of the most serious problems the city faces. It hinders people movement, worsens air quality and weakens our economy. As I previously announced, we have commissioned a pre-feasibility study for underground with our partners in the West of England Authority. Initial feedback is that ground conditions don't look too problematic and that with the right level of investment, is perfectly buildable.
A mass transit scheme, that connects the northern fringe, the south and the east to the centre and connects the city rapidly to our growing airport and people to jobs, has the potential to be transformative for the city and region. Accordingly, my city leader partners, Tim Warren in BaNES, Matthew Riddle in South Glos, Nigel Ashton in North Somerset and of course, Tim Bowles for the combined authority, all recognise the generational opportunity this presents and will support the full feasibility study being commissioned this month.
So, homes and transport remain at the top of my focus.
We will shape our housing and transport actions towards inclusive growth and we will ensure we secure land for industrial use as part of a clear intent to maintain a diverse economy. I will continue to work with Business West and with Destination Bristol on bringing trade and investment and tourism into our city. I have continued to support our cultural offer, agreed a cultural strategy and protected Colston Hall. I remain determined to deliver an arena at the right price.
I support the TUC campaign for Better Jobs for a Better Bristol and will work with them to ensure that the City Plan reflects Bristol as a great place to work. We have celebrated European City of Sport, grown participation and continue to work to bring sporting events to the city and work to develop elite sport and elite athletes, including backing all of our sports teams. I was disappointed to see Bristol Rovers and UWE couldn't get their deal done but that simply provides an opportunity to support the club to build a stadium within Bristol.
Our airport has ambitious plans and we will support them and we will continue to manage and promote the working harbour as a thriving part of the city. A pleasing element of the year has been our efforts to bring Channel 4 here and Working with our media sector, we continue to be well positioned.
I have talked so far tonight about the city, our achievements and challenges, but there is a bigger context in which to see the city. The city you experience today is the product of past and present action and inaction by the whole range of public, private, voluntary and faith organisations. Add to this the national and international forces such as national and international policy, trade and of course our personal decisions.
National government is a key partner and it is in this context that the weaknesses of national governments are being exposed. While I would obviously point to the fact that austerity and Brexit makes life more difficult for Bristol, this is actually a modern problem that goes beyond party. National governments the world over are finding they don't have the tools to cope with the changing world around them and fail on everything from climate change, to inequality to democratic legitimacy and they risk dragging cities down with them. National governance continues to be important in so many areas but we must recognise it is shaped to face the challenges of the last century.
Central governments are weak partners for city leaders. This makes re-balancing sovereignty to empowering cities is the great opportunity of our time. While the genie is out of the bottle on devolution, it often focuses in the wrong areas, has been ad hoc and inconsistent and does not give cities the power to plan for the long term. Or as our very own Robin Hambleton put it a few years ago, "we need to move beyond the devolution deception".
Central governments are weak partners for city leaders. This makes rebalancing sovereignty to empower cities the great opportunity of our time.
And it is that sense of community and common purpose that we are using to drive forward in the City Office and in writing a One Bristol Plan to map out Bristol's future towards 2050, a plan for the city that we will all collectively write and deliver. I am grateful to Louise Sunderland from KPMG for co-ordinating this work for me and for the many city partners who are helping to plan it out and to write it.
The metropolitan revolution is of our era. Crowd sourced rather than close sourced, entrepreneurial rather than bureaucratic, networked rather than hierarchical.
And recognising the scale of the challenge, it is important to know we are not alone in this thinking. Last month I was in New York with 50 of the world's most progressive cities and global institutions, already working in recognition of shifting challenges and the key role of cities to meet them. Those cities, from the US, Africa, Asia, Europe as well as in the UK are working to ensure cities have a seat at the table of global decision making and get the power to control what goes on in their boundaries and also the national and international context in which they live.
Cities from around the world have far more powers and the UK ranks well down the city sovereignty league table. A key goal for UK cities is to match cities in the US and Europe in keeping a share of local taxation – of taxes spent in the city, currently a massive local spend for which we are getting no revenue. In the UK, cities spend about 7% of taxation, the New York Mayor spends 50% of the taxes raised in the city and in Tokyo, they spend 70% of the tax raised in the city. UK is the most centralised state in the democratic world and it's an old model that has to change. I will be calling on my own party for a parliamentary strategy that doesn't just argue for the policy of more funding, although we do need that, but widens the debate to work towards a new city government model, that reflects the size of city contribution to our state and to the world.
In their report, they recognise that capacity, knowledge and expertise at city level is more essential than ever. And the report acknowledges a painful truth – that the relationship between city and national government is not one of equals but one of a hierarchical relationship where cities go cap in hand.
And my colleague and Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said recently, "if the 19th century was the century of empire, the 20th the century of nation states, then the 21st century is surely the century of mayors and cities".
After the Brexit vote, 175 000 people signed a petition for the independence of London as a city state. (Tempting, but I'm not going that far). But, we must recognise if cities fail, the nation state economy fails. I'm calling for a new settlement for cities, a new deal with governments, a clear acknowledgement that cities need more control. National policy Is undermining our ability to succeed and We need powers to ensure we can promote our businesses, jobs, and grow inclusive prosperity.
Decision making is devolving automatically to cities, not just to politicians but to business, unions, the voluntary sector, communities. Power is devolving to the places and people closest to the ground for collaborative action. The nature of leadership is changing –not just to politicians but to all city leaders and city governance is the direction of travel.
Shifting global challenges has brought the inversion of the hierarchy of power and the UK is now in that firing line.
Bristol is truly an international city, recognising the context of our national and international role. I have been elected to the steering committee of the Global Parliament of Mayors and I am delighted to be able to announce the Global Parliament of Mayor's conference will be held in Bristol, in 2018. This is a huge opportunity, not just for the profile of the city around the world, but a chance to showcase the city, our investability and our tourism and trade match-ups. We will work with the core cities, the department of Local Government and Communities and the Department of International Trade to maximise the impact we gain from the time 100 mayors of major cities will spend in Bristol.
I have set out the challenge and opportunity, so come forward and make Bristol a big offer. Tell me what great thing you want to get done for the city, tell me what you need from me and the rest of the city in order to deliver it.

Findings from the 2007 Senior Surveys
Authors: Tara Smith, Nicole Beck, and Greg Cumpton
Publication Type: Report, 87pp.
Abstract: As part of the Central Texas Student Futures Project, Ray Marshall Center researchers survey Central Texas seniors each spring in the semester prior to their expected graduation to gain insight into factors that cannot be examined with students' existing high school records. In Findings from the 2007 Senior Surveys, researchers Tara Smith, Nicole Beck, and Greg Cumpton analyze responses for all 2007 seniors surveyed in eight participating school districts — Austin, Del Valle, Eanes, Leander, Manor, Pflugerville, Round Rock, and San Marcos Consolidated ISDs — regarding family background and influences, high school experiences, and preparation for life after high school. The analysis also examines statistically significant differences for particular groups of high school students of concern to policymakers, including those who would be the first in their family to attend college, Hispanic students, and low-income students.
Senior survey responses across all districts in 2007 reveal that Central Texas students are a diverse group, with future goals as varied as their backgrounds. Regardless of the differences in composition of the sample, many of the significant differences seen in 2006 survey results hold true for the Class of 2007. Across many topics including thinking about college as an option, studying for high school classes, working for pay, participating in extracurricular and college prep activities, and submitting college applications, results for 2007 seniors were very similar to those for seniors in the class of 2006. Many of the gender differences seen in 2006 were not found to be significant in the 2007 results. Additional questions about financial aid also reveal that many students, especially low-income students were unaware of the financial aid process.
While the survey findings themselves are interesting, these results will be more revealing after they are included in the statistical analysis of student outcomes upon leaving high school. The first report linking survey responses to student outcomes for 2007 seniors is targeted for release in the summer of 2008.
