Reaching Beyond
Set in an uncertain future where Earths environmental problems and dwindling natural resources are producing ongoing catastrophic disasters, space, and what lies out there, is a compelling option for the future survival of mankind. The promise of a better life amongst the stars is the lure that could not only lead to salvation, but will take humans to the brink of establishing an impressive galactic empire. However, on beginning the initial stages of colonisation of Tau Ceti, the possibility of first contact with an intelligent, yet dangerously hostile species presents itself. As humans and the new species plunge headlong towards an interstellar war, a new menace is emerging from within. It is a peril that not only threatens technological and exploratory progress, but could push mankind to the point of extinction. Mat Kemel, a techno-scientist, seems to be the only one to understand what lies ahead, but could he provide the answers to the mounting problems that may destroy millions and ultimately, engulf life itself?
Confidence and confidentiality
This publication sets out a detailed analysis of the responses to the Government's consultation paper (Cm. 6886, ISBN 9780101674423), issued in July 2006, as well as responses made at stakeholder events and discussion forums held in relation to it. The consultation paper contained proposals to increase the openness and transparency of proceedings in the family courts system, whilst seeking to protect the anonymity of individuals involved, and these included: allowing the media, on behalf of and for the benefit of the public, to attend proceedings as of right, though allowing the court to exclude them where appropriate to do so and, where appropriate, to place restrictions on reporting of evidence; to allow attendance of others on application to the court, or on the courts own motion; to introduce a new criminal offence for breaches of reporting restrictions; and to make adoption proceedings a special case, so that there is transparency in the process up until the placement order is made, but beyond that proceedings to remain private. The Government intends to bring forward policy proposals, in light of these responses, in due course.
Election day
This paper contains a summary of responses to "The governance of Britain: election day: weekend voting" (2008, Cm. 7334, ISBN 9780101733427), along with detailed responses to specific questions raised in the consultation, conclusions and next steps. A majority (53 per cent) of respondents favoured retaining weekday voting, but there was also a majority in favour of piloting weekend voting, should it be adopted, before introducing it across the UK. A survey of non-voters suggested many would be more likely to vote if an election was at the weekend. But evidence provided by local authorities and electoral administrators suggests that a weekend poll, particularly one held over two days, would add considerably to the logistical complexity of running elections, particularly in terms of finding appropriate staff and premises. The Government believes that the potential benefits are outweighed by the overall lack of consensus, and does not propose to move forward with weekend voting at this time. It would, though, re-examine the option should a stronger view in favour emerge in the future.
Emmalee
Sometimes love is blind. Emmalee Bradford thinks she's an expert at matchmaking, and she won't rest until all her friends are as happy as she is. Especially Hannah, the girl she's decided to make popular. Everyone loves Emmalee's advice--everyone, that is, except her annoying neighbor Chase Anderson, who has taken it upon himself to "fix" her. This modern version of Jane Austen's Emma is the hilarious journey of a girl who believes she knows all about love. But when it comes to recognizing the perfect guy for her, Emmalee is absolutely clueless.
