Labour's performance in the June 2017 General Election came as a surprise to almost everyone. Few, from the most committed supporters of Jeremy Corbyn to seasoned political commentators, expected the Labour vote share to rise so dramatically and seats to be won with such substantial swings.
The Corbyn Effect is the first serious attempt to understand this exciting new phenomenon in British politics. In specially-commissioned essays, writers, academics and activists from across political generations explore the meaning, limitations and potential of Corbynism. How has Corbyn changed the Labour Party?
It was previously widely accepted as fact that a left-wing Labour leader could enjoy popular support from the party membership, but not from the voting public. And it was also previously assumed that this electorate was too wedded to the appeal of an austerity-driven, low-tax economy and small state, to vote for left-wing policies. The Corbyn Effect offers a careful and original analysis of the new shifts in this system of ideas.
This is an essential read for those seeking to understand the present political moment.

'Jeremy Corbyn has re-packaged socialism into something progressive and essential, something that isn't archaic as we've been told it is for so long. Striving for justice and fairness isn't a sign of our weakness but the sign of our great strength. That's The Corbyn Effect for me and this book explains why.'
- Maxine Peake
'The Corbyn phenomenon is the biggest turnaround for the Left in Europe in decades - nothing short of a post-Blairite resurrection. Understanding it, learning from it, completing it and repeating it is vital. The Corbyn Effect rises to the challenge.'
- Jon Lansman, Chair, Momentum
'It appears likely that Jeremy Corbyn will one day inhabit 10 Downing Street. More than a destination however, The Corbyn Effect takes that as a starting point. This is a must-read for understanding not only how we got here, but where we are going. Read it to inform yourself about a historical moment whose consequences will be felt for a lifetime.'
- Aaron Bastani, co-founder Novara Media
'Jeremy Corbyn's Labour has breathed life into the fading hopes of many party members and hordes of others who stayed outside a timid, neoliberal machine, offering little hope and even fewer dreams. Party members have again found their place in a dynamic, revitalised democratic party, which they have done so much to shape and place on the verge of power. This book tells us that story.'
- Heather Wakefield, Head of Local Government, Police and Justice, UNISON
'Far from being a ship in the night, as most political commentators and actors on the left and right dismissed him, Jeremy Corbyn is here to stay. He was a revelation in the 2017 General Election campaign and did what no Labour leader has succeeded in doing since 1979, namely undermine the dominance of neo-liberalism. Understanding Corbyn, his significance and his potential, is a key task. This book will surely make an important contribution.'
- Martin Jacques, former editor Marxism Today
'Social democracy worldwide colluded with the right by cheering on the ideology of financial globalisation and austerity. This deeply embedded consensus blinded the British (and American) establishments to the root cause of social democracy's collapse. The Corbyn Effect works to explain the cultural, political and economic changes that led to the demise of Blairism, and to Corbyn's rise as leader of the Labour Party. It is a careful record of a tumultuous period, and a must-read.'
- Ann Pettifor, author of The Coming First World Debt Crisis (2006) & The Production of Money (2017). Director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics
'There are some excellent contributions here. Jeremy Gilbert examines how alternative ideas to the neoliberal consensus were marginalised for so many decades. Des Freedman quantifies the scale of the media hostility against Corbyn … Andrew Gamble looks at the staggering collapse of the May project in a few short weeks in the spring of 2017, despite having just won a by-election in a seat held by Labour since the 1930s and trounced Labour in local council elections. In an important piece, Eliane Glaser distinguishes between populism - a negative bashing of elites aimed at disrupting the political system, and a popular left politics … But the stand-out chapter for me is Maya Goodfellow's essay on immigration, debunking the pseudo-sociology of the so-called 'white working class', "a mythical block of people who are all assumed to hold the same views."'
- Mike Phipps, Labour Briefing
'The Corbyn Effect offers a window into a movement trying to shape a rush of ideas and excitement into a programme for government, and doing so in the knowledge that, should it win power, its success or failure will have profound implications for the future of European social democracy.'
- Justin Reynolds, Social Europe
'[An] invigorating [addition] to what is still a pretty thin literature about Corbynism. The concluding essay in The Corbyn Effect is the least ideological: a sharp analysis of parliamentary marginals by the sociologist Paula Surridge. First, she lists 65 current Tory and SNP constituencies with small or tiny majorities – more seats than Labour needs to gain to govern alone. Then she lists 19 precarious Labour marginals. Corbynism still seems so full of promise, and so fragile.'
- Andy Beckett, the Guardian
'The "Corbyn effect" is far from exhausted. As the increasingly blatant failures and shortcomings of privatisation, outsourcing and threadbare public services push neoliberal ideology into its prolonged death throes, we may yet see more dramatic shifts in public opinion, or we may just be in for a very long war of electoral attrition in which no party develops a decisive lead.'
- David Connolly, Independent Labour
'The only detailed critiques of the Leader of the Opposition in this selection of books come from The Corbyn Effect. Wainright and Gilbert are magisterial on the insufficiency of his "statist form of social democracy", Gilbert noting that "at the moment, the level of political debate even on the Labour left rarely rises above the level of moral condemnation of austerity". At their best these essays extend Corbyn's "effect" into a clear-eyed contemplation of what his project should be: whether that's deepening democracy and reconnecting the civic levers of change; rebuilding business along social and co-operative lines; or reimagining immigration policy to put optimism and humanity at its core.'

In the early 2010s, we began to read about the vinyl revival, and now, in 2018, it looks as though it's here to stay. But why are we telling you about vinyls? The answer is simple—our team is filled to the brim with vinyl connoisseurs! This is why we're so excited about our exclusive interview with Chris Topham, a charming gentleman who owns a record label called Plane Groovy. When I asked David Longdon about him, he told me that Topham is almost evangelical about vinyl. In other words, we're talking about a man with a long-lasting passion for music, and there's always a thing or two that we can learn from people like that.

Hi, I'm Dustin. I am a mathematical physicist turned philosopher of physics.
After 18 months as a Feodor Lynen Research Fellow, I started a second PhD in philosophy at the Université de Lausanne (UNIL) in Switzerland, working on "Typicality as a way of reasoning in science and metaphysics".
I am also a Fellow of the newly founded John Bell Institute for the Foundations of Physics and member of the international research network on Bohmian Mechanics.
My primary research interests are in relativistic quantum mechanics, metaphysics of laws, and the arrow of time.
My other interests and areas of expertise include: electrodynamics quantum and classical, probabilities and foundations of statistical mechanics, philosophy of space and time, philosophy of science and metaphysics.
I was born in Offenbach am Main, Germany, studied physics and mathematics at the LMU Munich – with a great year abroad at the McGill University in Montreal – and received my PhD in mathematics in 2015, working on many-particle systems and the derivation of mean field equations under the supervision of Detlef Dürr.
I strongly believe that there is truth, beauty, and meaning in the universe and that physics, philosophy, and mathematics can bring us closer to them.

Busking has been legal in New York City forever, but decriminalised in the subway since 1985. Buskers keep getting arrested there though! Follow the latest arrests and regulations (and share your stories) here.
Hello! New York City person here. I thought I would let you know that although busking is legal, it is prohibited in NYC transit. I'm not typing this to be a party pooper, I'm stating this to save people from being arrested. First off, I know there is a difference between Busking and Panhandeling, but some who busk, at times, panhandle. " Panhandling and begging are prohibited."
Charities that have been licensed for any public solicitation within the preceding twelve months by the Commissioner of Social Services of the City of New York under section 21-111 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York or any successor provision.
Charities which are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code or an successor provision.
Upon request, solicitors for such charities shall provide evidence that the charity meets one of the preceding qualifications."
And something else that I hope helps musical performers, "You may not use an amplification device of any kind on a platform."
As well as not busking within a set amount of feet from a token booth.
I realize this is a lot of red tape, however, if this information helps anyone, I will be glad.

Last Saturday I was biking home along Harrison when I saw a peculiar sandwich board, "Bookbinders Museum open today 12-4" Having nothing better to do and a natural affinity towards books and the book making process I decided to take some time out of my day to find out about this oddity.
Tim James is a commercial bookbinder who is fascinated by the bookbinder and the bookbinding process. This process has undergone a complete transformation since the mid 1800's when every step in the process was done by hand and only the rich could afford books.
But the Bookbinders Museum isn't just about books; it's about machines. "It is the goal of the American Bookbinders Museum to amass a collection of working machines used for each part of the printing process." And don't forget the Bookbinder's Bowling Club! You can visit, you can tour, or you can help them find equipment for their collection. Tours are free and on Saturday 12-4 — or by request: call Tim James and if he can he will run over from his print shop to give a tour.

The Lurcher Diaries
easy call
January 7, 2017 January 7, 2017 ~ jim clayton
We're short on carers this morning, so I've been given a half dozen patients to see before my clinical calls. First on the list is Helen, an end of life case who has deteriorated markedly in the last twenty-four hours. The private agency the family uses has struggled to cope with the change, so I'm to double-up with their carer, assess the situation and come up with a plan.
Helen lives up in the suburban hills on the outskirts of town, where the original Thirties bungalows are gradually being replaced by expensively discrete designer houses. A chill mist lies across the valley below, isolating every sound so effectively I can hear the jangle of the man's keys as he walks down the steps ahead of me to Helen's front door. I guess he must be the carer I've come to liaise with, so I grab my bag, lock the car and follow him down.
'Hello!' I say, from the top of the steps. 'I'm Jim, from the Rapid Response Team.'
'Who?' he says. 'Well. I suppose you'd better go in.'
He opens the door and stands aside.
It's obvious he's not the carer. Something's not right about this, but the momentum of my progress down the steep garden steps overrides the instinct to stop and find out more.
'Thanks,' I say, and go through.
I had been expecting a hospital bed in a front room; instead, there are a half a dozen people still in their hats and coats, sitting, standing, holding coffee cups, fiddling with phones. They all turn to look at me.
'Hello,' I say. 'I'm Jim. From the hospital. Come to see Helen.'
An elderly man staggers over to stand in front of me.
'She died,' he says, frowning, with the crumpled, rather dazed look of someone saying something terrible out loud for the first time. 'I'm afraid you're too late.'
'Oh. I'm so sorry.'
'Easy call,' says someone.
'I'll let the hospital know,' I say, and then adding, rather hopelessly, 'I'm sorry for your loss.'
No-one says anything as I turn to go.
The man who showed me in is still standing by the front door. As I pass he says: 'I suppose I could've told you that before you went in.'
'It's okay.'
Just before I step outside, someone calls to me from back inside the house. I wait as the elderly man from the front room walks towards me, painfully favouring his left hip, working his way along by using the walls, the book case, the stair rail. When he's close enough he pauses to catch his breath, then holds out his hand. I shake it.
'Thank you so much for coming,' he says, 'I really do appreciate it,' and then drapes his left hand over his right, for emphasis, support, or both, it's hard to tell.

Same day, next day, and emergency chiropractic appointments are usually available. For your convenience we also have an office map and directions available for you to print out.
Please don't delay as conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches often tend to worsen or recur without the appropriate care. The good news is that these conditions often respond quickly to chiropractic care if caught early.

This year's House Netball was the second installment of the competition and after last year was so successful, Mr Deadman was hopeful for another fantastic tournament. The conditions really were perfect for it, in a rare late March mini-heatwave the sun was out and the temperature was in the high teens. A suggestion that the cricket season is around the corner perhaps? For now, though, the main focus was on netball and the teams for all six houses were filled with a dozen Year 12s all eager to play.
After the girls had spent a considerable amount of time explaining the rules to the boys, the tournament kicked off with favorites Holman winning numerous scores through captain Esme Deadman. Whilst many teams performed well there were really only two teams that stood out: Thorne, led by Alex Telford and Ella Lee; and Holman led by Esme Deadman and Charlie Barraclough. These teams would face each other in the final.
In front of an eager crowd that included headmaster Mr Atkinson and players from other houses, it was Holman who took a 2-1 lead going into halftime. However, Thorne managed to pull into a 3-2 lead through pinpoint shooting from Alex Telford. The game looked all but done, but no final is without its drama as with seconds on the clock Holman had a penalty shot. Silence fell and the shot missed. Thorne were the winners! The tournament was played in great spirit throughout and it was a really successful example of mixed sport being such a success. Thanks must go to Mr Deadman and his team for organising the event.


Pre-paid Electricity and Gas Meters – more expensive or economical?
It is commonly known that a pre-paid electricity meter is the most expensive way to buy electricity. Yet, depending on which site you believe, between three and six million people receive their electricity through a pre-paid meter.
Some customers with previous electricity debts can only receive their electricity through a meter. This way the electricity company can set the electricity rate at a higher rate to recoup the debt while ensuring current usage is also paid for. On the other hand, there are millions of people that choose to have a meter. These people find it an easier way to budget and like to avoid receiving a large bill every quarter. So despite paying more for the electricity is it actually possible to make a saving using a pre-paid meter?
So despite claims of the contrary, pre-paid meters are still not as cheap as buying electricity on credit. However, many still claim that a pre-paid meter is the best option for them.
Many meter users cite the fact they avoid big bills as the major plus of using a meter. Pre-paid meters allow users to budget with more precision and know exactly what they are spending on energy. This is where the biggest saving can be made with pay-as-you-go meters.
Being able to literally see money being spent on power; as your meter reading recedes can be the most powerful motivator to save energy. You remember to turn lights off, know exactly how many times you have used the washing machine and will consider energy usage whenever you turn on an appliance. The best comparison is with mobile phones. Most of us are now on contracts but remember back to when you were on pay-as-you-go. Every text message you were aware that you were spending money. You would not make unnecessary calls. Now on contract, how many people exceed their initial contract cost as they have no idea how much of their permitted usage they have used.
If your household struggles to save energy it may be a meter, despite the extra costs, save money. It is also worth remembering that you can move pre-paid tariffs from different companies to get the best deal possible. You do not have to have gas and electricity from the same provider. You can undercut providers by shopping around. There can be big differences between tariffs and some good incentives, such as money back, vouchers or gifts, if you sign with certain providers.
Is it worth getting a pre-paid meter?
In reality, a pre-paid meter is not an economical decision unless you really need it as a deterrent to save power. A credit meter will always provide better value for money. However, if you think it would be something worth trying you can contact a provider and ask them to install a meter.
For those already with a meter, it would be a good idea to upgrade to a credit meter if you are permitted to do so. If receiving a big bill deters you from having a credit meter you can set up a direct debit system which takes money out on a regular basis, so when the bill arrives you have already paid most of it.
It is also worth noting that when prices change it can take a while for the provider to update your system meaning you are paying old rates and will be landed with a bill in the post anyway.
Pre-payment is a method to avoid if you have the means and discipline to make the most of credit discounts. If your household is using far too much energy though, and an energy monitor will not be enough to help cut usage down, it could provide the perfect motivation to start saving.
all worth your time. Really enjoyed your post! Thanks!
There are quite useful arguments for and against the purpose of smart meters. I, for one, am all for them as they could potentially save money and reduce my carbon footprint.
If you are with BG and EDF pre payers pay the same rates as credit payers.

St Thomas Aquinas Versus NASA
"You're Gonna Die Up There" JULY 2017: Pilot Talks About 'Weather Phenomenon,' Then Plane Drops Off Radar, Killing 6
Voices will be heard in the air. Men will beat their heads against walls, call for their death, and on another side death will be their torment. Blood will flow on all sides. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
The darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day. They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go. The devils besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated,They besought Him that He would not expel them out of the country. St Thomas Aquinas
"In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
The demons of the air together with the Antichrist will perform great wonders on earth and in the atmosphere, and men will become more and more perverted. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
For the time has come when the most astonishing wonders will take place on the earth and in the air. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
"Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places." Ephesians 6:12
MILWAUKEE — National Transportation Safety Board investigators said Sunday there was a discussion between the pilot of a Cessna airplane and air traffic controllers about "local weather phenomenon." Soon after, the aircraft dropped off radar and crashed, killing six. "We're dealing with things that people just don't want to talk about or see," Price County Sheriff Brian Schmidt told local media. The Price County Sheriff's Office said the airplane crashed at 3:21 a.m. CT Saturday near the north Wisconsin city of Phillips. The plane was found near State Highway 111 and U.S. Highway 8 in the town of Harmony. Authorities did not release how many people died in the crash until Sunday. Source>>>>>
The comets, beyond bringing the chastisements which Catholic prophecy say are coming (nearly here) also can jack up the electronics in a plane unlucky enough to fly under where they are currently circling the earth. There's a a guy on youtube that makes this coreelation (against the grain) but take him with a grain of salt, he is in Croatia but is evidently Anti Catholic anti Christian.
The coment ELENIN of which there are several named, is supposedly the acronym: Extinction level event nibiru is near.
I'll clarify my thoughts. I believe he's anti God, anti religion, maybe an atheist, However he has some interesting information and IMO as with many of these researchers, they completely miss the spiritual realm/ aspect of the equation.
"Before the Comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scoured with want and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent by an earthquake, storm and tidal waves will be devastated. It will be divided, and in great part submerged. That nation will also have many misfortunes at sea, and lose its colonies in the east through a Tiger and a Lion.
The Comet by its tremendous pressure, will force much out of the ocean and flood many countries, causing much want and many plagues. [After the] great Comet, the great nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms, and great waves of water, causing much want and plagues. The ocean will also flood many other countries, so that all coastal cities will live in fear, with many destroyed. All sea coast cities will be fearful and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most living creatures will be killed and even those who escape will die from a horrible disease.
For in none of these cities does a person live according to the laws of God. "Peace will return to Europe when the white flower again takes possession of the throne of France."

Islamic Terrorism: Altitude Bomb Detonated On Sriwijaya Air Flight (SJ182) Fell 10,000 Feet In Less Than 60 Seconds Just Four Minutes After Take Off
Sounds like a bomb detonated at 10,000ft.... Boeing 737 jet with 62 people onboard 'crashes' after 'falling 10,000ft' following takeoff from Indonesia and VANISHING off radar - as rescuers find debris in the ocean A Boeing 737 passenger jet with 62 people onboard has disappeared over the sea after plummeting 10,000 feet shortly following takeoff from Jakarta, reports claim. The Sriwijaya Air plane took off from Soekarno-Hatta international airport on Saturday afternoon when it lost contact with the control room. The usual flight time is about 90 minutes over the Java Sea between Jakarta and Kalimantan, Indonesia's section of Borneo island. But four minutes after it took off, the Boeing B737-500 plane plunged nearly 11,000 feet in less than 60 seconds, leaving it at an altitude of just 250 feet before it vanished. There are feared to be 62 people on the 26-year-old plane, including 56 passengers - seven of whom are children and three are babies - as well as two

Mankind has made contact with an alien 'Galactic Federation' but it has been kept secret because 'humanity isn't ready', former head of Israel's space security program claims An Israeli space official has claimed that aliens are real and secretly in contact with America and Israel - but are keeping their existence quiet because humanity 'isn't ready'. Haim Eshed - who was head of Israel's space security programme for nearly 30 years and is a retired general - described a so-called 'Galactic Federation' which supposedly runs an underground Mars base in a secret pact with Washington. But the aliens had to intervene to stop Donald Trump when he appeared 'on the verge' of blurting out their secrets, he told Israeli paper Yediot Aharonot. And the 87-year-old Eshed says the aliens will not come into the open until humanity can 'evolve and reach a stage where we will... understand what space and spaceships are&#
Sriwijaya Air Flight (SJ182) Boeing 737-500 Crashed 5 Minutes After Takeoff From Jakarta, Indonesia
Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 crashes five minutes after take-off Jakarta Airport, Indonesia On 9 January, a Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 (registered PK-CLC) operated domestic flight SJ182 between Jakarta and Pontianak, Indonesia. Five minutes after take-off, however, the aircraft crashed. On Flightradar24-data, the aircraft departed the airport of Jakarta but lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute, about 4 minutes after take-off. The aircraft subsequently went missing and communications with air traffic was lost. Adita Irawati, the Indonesian Transport Ministry spokesperson, told This Week in Asia that their services are investigating and coordinating the matter with Indonesia's national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) and the transport safety body (KNKT). A local newspaper writes that the aircraft crashed close to one of the inhabited islands of the Thousand Islands, a chain of islands to the north of Jakarta's coast. Meanwhile, the crash was confirme

Q: How do you define a wrapper function in Fabric? Consider this simple fabric file:
def wrapper():
    f1()
    f2()

@hosts([host1])
def f1():
    run('ls')

@hosts([host2])
def f2():
    run('uname')

By running fab wrapper you get a prompt for:

No hosts found. Please specify a (single) host string for connection:

How can I make wrapper() ignore any hosts, and assume all sub-tasks will handle that aspect?

A: Fabric issue #21 deals with this longstanding problem.
execute() now supports this behavior.

You know how the internet is. Next thing you know, you're looking up Swahili proverbs and applying them to your life.
There is no one who does not make mistakes.
Yes, this one hits the nail on the head as far as my long journey to live an authentic life. We could all practice a little more self acceptance.
A frog has no feathers. Don't be too demanding.
We all know who this refers to. Perhaps it insults the cow?
A fool is a person too, don't say that person is a cow.
It is not necessary to blow out the other person's lantern to let yours shine.
"I am free." These three words keep running in my head over and over these days, a message my soul must need to be reminded of. I do not mean to compare my journey to anyone else's much more arduous path, but this blog post is only to highlight some inspiration on the theme of freedom and what it means to me. I am realizing more and more I only need to claim it, and my freedom is there growing in my consciousness. It's so easy to feel constrained or imprisoned by constant work and economic realities, by "the rigged system," by "politics," by gender norms, by relationships, by our own mind. The more I take baby steps outside the framework in which I've lived for 25-30 years toward where my heart wants to be, the more freedom I experience.
I have no idea how financial or other success will be part of my freedom, but I'm going to continue expanding my life in this way, volunteering where I can between work where I can engage more parts of who I am and impact other lives, transitioning toward work I love honoring Earth. Is it possible to become an organic farmer without any money or land over age 50? We shall see. Great farm school happens to be in my backyard and hope to enroll by 2020 so that I leave the nest simultaneous to my child. Farm sitter or intern more likely in my future, but I love being physically exhausted at the end of my days, work among my plant nation friends, produce food that is healing for humans, my blood rushing with the magnetic pulse of Earth instead of WiFi, and not least, put my body where my mind and heart is on climate change. (Food production ranks #3 and #4 on top 100 solutions in Drawdown).
I visited my local Tilth Market today and soon after I arrived, some members of the Open Circle Singers broke into singing "Rolihlahla Mandela – Freedom is In Your Hand." Which immediately brought me back to the moment I learned Mandela walked out of prison, February 11, 1990, because at the time I had good friends among the South African in exile community and celebrated among them along with my friends from other African countries. And I couldn't help but become teary, because I've been hearing an internal voice toward living an authentic life and the freedom that brings for a few weeks now.
A message we sorely need for these times in 2018.
Images from a mindful walk today.
P.S. 07/18/18 – I honestly did not know it was Mandela's 100th birthday celebration two days after I published this post, but his spirit was speaking to me this week. In that light, I will add this speech out of South Africa that I find provides a great overview of vision. (Start at 2:27 for Obama's portion).

In Praise of Unsung Heroes in Science at the USA Science & Engineering Festival
carlyo | May 16, 2013
Heroes should never be forgotten, but unfortunately too many of them in the field of science go missing from our classroom textbooks. Equally disturbing is that a disproportionate number of these heroes overlooked are women and minorities. While the average American young person will likely have no trouble detailing the latest antics of such stars as Ashton Kutcher, Lindsay Lohan, or Kanye & Kim, most, sadly, would be hard-pressed to tell you who the following trailblazers in science were: -- Molecular biologist Rosiland Franklin, who was responsible for much of the research and discovery…

An Olympic Fall
jtoney | August 3, 2012
Every four years, I am inspired by the Olympic portrayal of the best of human strength and spirit that brings together nations unlike any other event.

Global Hunger Games

Hunger Games - World Food Programme. Hunger Games portrays a grim future in which the "bottom 99%" must ration their food to reduce the chance that their children will be sent as "tributes" to compete in a game to the death. But - What if, together, we can identify thousands of new paths out of poverty around the world in just 48 hours? Imagine thousands of Katniss Everdeen-inspired avatars battling hunger - for real. {Today} the Rockefeller Foundation and the Institute for the Future (IFTF) will join forces with people across the globe and ask them to help solve global poverty through…

Punching My Sister: Sir Isaac Newton
Netwon's Apple Gravity (SodaHead). Sir Isaac Newton punching his sister? How about pricking a friend with a pin? Yes, even giants such as Sir Newton, are subject to being strayed from time to time.

Here's a sample of his recording of "49 sins" committed in 1662: Before Whitsunday 1662.

Not everything Tim Tebow Does on One Knee is Controversial
jtoney | January 15, 2012
Photo source, Stephanie Taylor. Denver Broncos Quarterback Tim Tebow, as discussed in my last post has captured America's attention because of spectacular athletic skills and his - some say - shameless display of his religious faith. Such a public display of piety has brought out mean-spirited commentary from my fellow bloggers, referring to Tim Tebow as "impotent," "obnoxious," a "militant evangelical Christian" (quotes below.) Really? From "There is No God:" This is what happens when you vaingloriously give your deity responsibility for carrying a stupid little football game: his…
Keeping Women In The Picture - How Paris Hilton Saved Mika Brzezinski's Job
jtoney | May 11, 2011
This is a story of two fetching women, one known for glitz and vacuous socializing, one known for serious news commentary and for reinventing the television morning news show format. Yes, as my title reveals, they are Paris Hilton and Mika Brzezinski whose paths crossed unwittingly, emblematic of American female beauty and brains. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Brzezinski last night, as she was the Commencement speaker for our Graduate College. She shared with our graduates, predominantly women, the challenges of equality in the workplace - equal pay for equal work - detailed in her…
Young People Can't {Can!} Do Real Science
jtoney | December 21, 2010
"We also discovered that science is cool and fun because you get to do stuff that no one has ever done before." With my academic training and years of reflecting on how to teach science, I don't think I could develop a more compelling statement than this, written by a group of elementary school students. As graduate students in science, we struggle mightily to get a paper published in a top journal. This story reported by Ed Yong in Discover magazine reminds us that pure science, the process of discovery, can be accomplished by young children. Some would argue that you need to be a…

Search only speeches by Mr Ralph Howell Search all speeches
Results 1–20 of 557 for speaker:Mr Ralph Howell
Orders of the Day — Finance Bill (14 Jan 1997)
Mr Ralph Howell: I am interested in my hon. Friend's argument. Will he explain why the Government's excellent scheme on workstart, which is in line with what my hon. Friend is suggesting, has not been introduced nationally? That is crying out to be done.
Prayers: Right to Work (26 Jun 1996)
Mr Ralph Howell: Surely we have reached a point at which we must choose between the right to be unemployed and the right to work. The hon. Lady and her party will have to make up their minds about what they want. I believe that, while the right to work would constitute a big step forward, defending the right to be unemployed is unacceptable.
Mr Ralph Howell: I thank my friend the hon. and learned Member for Leicester, West (Mr. Janner) for his kind remarks about me and for allowing the debate to take place. I became a member of the Committee approximately two years ago. Soon after I joined the Committee, it decided to study workfare and the right to work. I believe that the Committee did a good job in looking into the matter and trying to find a...
Mr Ralph Howell: I shall refer to the details of the cost a little later in my speech. I beg the Government to take this matter seriously and to have an independent inquiry into the overall cost of the proposals—only then will we know whether they are practical. The Committee believes that we could save at least £5 billion per year, and probably considerably more. It is obvious that the welfare state is...
Mr Ralph Howell: The figure of £3 an hour would not be a minimum wage in a statutory sense—anyone who wanted to could work for less—but it would probably develop into one. I have no hang-ups about that, although perhaps the Government do. I am glad of the hon. Gentleman's intervention as it allows me to admit that I have pitched the figure at a low level. I have been talking about £3 an hour for about...
Oral Answers to Questions — Education and Employment: Employment Policy Priorities (21 Feb 1996)
Mr Ralph Howell: May I congratulate the Secretary of State on the success of the workstart scheme, which she initiated as Secretary of State for Employment? Why have the Government never claimed the credit for the money saved under that scheme, as I believe that we have saved at least £40 per week for every person who participated in the workstart pilot scheme?
Oral Answers to Questions — Environment: Home Purchases (Right-to-buy) (30 Jan 1996)
Mr Ralph Howell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many tenants bought their homes under the right-to-buy legislation in the last year for which figures are available. [10380]
Mr Ralph Howell: I thank my hon. Friend for that reply and congratulate the Government on the success and popularity of their right-to-buy policy. Is not it remarkable that, after all these years, we are still selling more than 100 houses a day?
Select Committees (7 Nov 1995)
Mr Ralph Howell: I am glad that the Government have gone as far as they have in letting the Select Committee on Employment continue until the end of February, but I hope that they will listen to this debate and go further, because they are making a serious mistake. Unemployment is the biggest problem that confronts the advanced world and merely trying to hide it in another Department will not solve the...
Mr Ralph Howell: I am grateful for that intervention. It reminds me of Question Time today. It is crazy to have education questions and employment questions all muddled up on the Order Paper. They should be in two separate halves, so that we can examine those issues properly and sensibly. I am especially concerned in relation to the statistical evidence and the report that we are compiling. We need that...
Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Social Chapter (7 Nov 1995)
Mr Ralph Howell: To ask the Prime Minister what plans he has to rewrite the social chapter of the EU. [40129]
Mr Ralph Howell: I thank my right hon. Friend for that reply. In view of the fact that the social chapter has few friends in the House except on the Labour Front Bench, would it not be constructive for the Government to produce a more acceptable alternative social chapter? Will my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister urge the Government to make the Right to Work Bill the cornerstone of that new social...
Oral Answers to Questions — Employment: Workfare (9 May 1995)
Mr Ralph Howell: In view of the acknowledged success of the workstart pilot schemes devised by Professor Snower, will my right hon. Friend institute a workfare scheme, which is also supported by Professor Snower and myself?
Agricultural Prices (21 Mar 1995)
Mr Ralph Howell: Attacking the common agricultural policy is a popular sport, but I do not intend to play it. I welcome the speech of my right hon. Friend the Minister, who said that the CAP is an integral part of the European Union and will remain so. It must remain. However, there is no doubt that changes are necessary. In the context of my constituency, it is obvious that we should not be penalised by...
Mr Ralph Howell: My hon. Friend makes an interesting comment. This country has enjoyed 50 years of peace and prosperity, and the common agricultural policy probably did more to bring that about than NATO. The CAP was the first policy adopted by the six original members of the EEC. One purpose of being generous to the small farmers and to the peasant population of Europe was to stave off the threat of...
Mr Ralph Howell: The other day, a Treasury Minister said that the CAP was costing every family £28 a week. That was too much for me to tolerate, so I went to see him. By the time I arrived, he had reduced the figure to £20 a week—and by the time I had finished with him, he had cut it to £15. But even that is not the right figure. The true UK and EU subsidy amounts to less than £3 per family per week....
Mr Ralph Howell: I thank my right hon. Friend for those comments. There is no such thing as a world price of food or of wheat. Nobody can give one. The fictitious figure of £20 a week was calculated on the basis of wheat at £50 per tonne, which was available for a short period from Australia. The world cannot live on wheat at £50 per tonne. We would all starve if that policy were adopted. We should...
Mr Ralph Howell: My right hon. Friend has given us some interesting figures going back to 1974. However, would not he be able to prove his point even better if he went back to 1960, when we were spending 1 per cent. of GDP supporting agriculture, since when it has fallen. Only one quarter of 1 per cent. was spent on total support for agriculture in 1988 and even now it is less than half of 1 per cent. from...
Oral Answers to Questions — Employment: Unemployment (7 Feb 1995)
Mr Ralph Howell: While welcoming the fact that unemployment is falling, is that not partly due to the trend for one regular full-time job to be turned into two part-time jobs? Should we not cease to deceive ourselves that unemployment is falling in the long term when in fact it is 65 per cent. higher than it was four years ago?
Orders of the Day — Jobseekers Bill (10 Jan 1995)
Mr Ralph Howell: I welcome those parts of the Jobseekers Bill which will help to simplify the benefits system. That desperately needs doing and I am sure that the Bill will be successful in that direction. I hope very much that the Bill will make it easier for people to move from unemployment into work.

Pupil barristers must be paid a living wage, the Bar Standards Board (BSB) announced among a raft of other training reforms.
The regulator said that the minimum amount paid to those undertaking pupillage will be set in line with the wages recommended by the Living Wage Foundation, and will increase annually in line with that figure.
That will mean that the minimum wage of £12,000 currently paid, will rise by 43% to £17,212 in London and £14,765 outside the Capital.
In a Policy Statement, the BSB announced that would-be barristers will still have to complete a 12-month pupillage, but changes will be made to the teaching and assessment of the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC).
BPTC providers will be given greater flexibility in the way they deliver the course and the class sizes. The civil litigation exam will be assessed in two papers – a closed book civil litigation and evidence exam and an open book civil dispute resolution exam.
Professional ethics will be tested in two open-book exams, the first set and marked by the law schools during the BPTC and the second taken during pupillage and conducted by the BSB.
The current grade boundaries 'Very Competent' and 'Outstanding' will be scrapped and pupils will no longer have to complete the Forensic Accountancy and Practice Management course during pupillage.
He said that the changes, which will come into effect in 2019, were an 'important milestone' in its reform programme.
