Landmark Rule Opens Skies to Commercial Drones

As new regulations lift barriers for unmanned aircraft, local technology gives entrepreneurs more flexibility

For years, stringent federal regulations have cluttered the skies for commercial drone use, and companies eager to capitalize on the business potential of unmanned aircraft have chafed under the constraints.
Those clouds began to part last month when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released new and less strict regulations for commercial drones, and there's a buzz of excitement in the air surrounding the drone community.
Soon, due in part to the technological advancements of a Flathead Valley company, there could also be the buzz of new drones taking flight.
"We are part of a new era in aviation, and the potential for unmanned aircraft will make it safer and easier to do certain jobs, gather information, and deploy disaster relief," U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said when making the announcement.
The new FAA rule governing small unmanned aircraft, called Part 107, streamlines the use of drones by commercial, non-hobbyist operators and makes it easier for them to get off the ground, especially because the agency no longer requires remote pilots to obtain a private aircraft pilot's license. Instead, they'll be able to obtain a remote pilot airman certificate by passing a test, which will cost about $150, the FAA estimates.
When the new rule becomes effective in August, most experts expect the use of these devices to proliferate. According to industry estimates by the FAA, the rule could generate more than $82 billion for the U.S. economy and create more than 100,000 new jobs within a decade.
But the new rule is replete with safety regulations for unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds and imposes a raft of operational limitations.
Perhaps most prominently, those limitations include a visual line-of-sight condition, meaning the unmanned aircraft must remain within eyeshot of the remote pilot at all times.
That means no cross-town deliveries from Amazon.com or Domino's.
However, the FAA also notes that many of the operational restrictions in the new rule can be waived, and it will assess commercial requests on a case-by-case basis.
The rule notes that technology such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, or ADS-B—a satellite-based surveillance technology used by air traffic controllers—can be a mitigating factor for a person to support a waiver application, showing that the operation could safely be conducted under the terms of a certificate of waiver.
The problem is, ADS-B systems are bulky, heavy and expensive—an impractical fit for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
But a local company has developed a 20-gram solution to that conundrum.
Bigfork-based uAvionix has developed the world's smallest, lightest and most affordable ADS-B transceiver tailored specifically for UAS navigation. Called the Ping2020, the transceiver allows aircraft operators to sense and avoid possible collisions through a constant exchange of real time position data.
Paul Beard, CEO of uAvionix and a Bigfork resident, likened the developments in the drone world to the early realization that the Internet might be a watershed moment, and as the federal government slowly lifts the lid off the regulatory pot, his technology provides an early opportunity for commercial drone use.
"I think that it's one of those moments parallel to sitting in a coffee shop in California in the early '90s wondering what all the Internet fuss is all about," Beard said. "Five years from now, a dozen drones will pass in front of you and it will feel normal."
The drone industry has grown quickly since 2008, particularly among people who use photography in their businesses. In 2012, Congress directed the FAA to study the public and national security risks and, if appropriate, to establish new standards.
Indeed, the popularity of drones is not without concerns, with safety operations and manned aircraft interference chief among them.
"With change comes challenges. Challenges create opportunities for solving problems. The problem of separating aircraft and drones is one of the most relevant issues today," Beard said. "And we've created a disruptive technology to solve it."
Adam Paugh, director of business development at uAvionix, called the rule change, combined with the advent of uAvionix technology, "a Wright Brothers moment."
"As a company, when we saw a significant increase of unmanned systems competing for airspace with manned systems, we recognized that there had to be a way for them to see each other. Until our devices came around there wasn't a small enough, lightweight solution to provide a sense and avoid system to drones," he said. "Now there is."
"We offer a unique opportunity for industries to equip their unmanned aircraft with an additional layer of safety and continue flying beyond the visual line of sight," Paugh said.

Mike Grady
Charlie Weatherby
Although he was a catcher in 527 of his 922 major league games, Mike Grady is best known as a third baseman who made a record number of errors on one ground ball, a play that never happened. At 5' 11" and a muscular 190 pounds, Grady was a versatile player for the Phillies, Browns, Giants, Senators, and Cardinals for 11 seasons from 1894 to 1906. A line drive hitter with power, he had a lifetime average of .294, with 35 home runs and a career on-base percentage of .374, 226th in major league history.
A loud, abrupt, and loquacious character known for shooting from the lip, Grady, nicknamed "Michael Angelo," was a lavish spender who, according to writer Clifford Ammerman, "obviously enjoyed his status as a major league baseball player and always created quite a stir when he visited his home town … or for that matter, when in the company of baseball fans in big league cities. The crowd followed him." Grady was noted for his numerous arguments with umpires, which earned him at least 16 major league ejections. He was also an alcoholic who drank his way out of the big leagues by 1902, only to return sober two years later. After his retirement, Grady was credited with helping a young Herb Pennock develop as a pitcher.
A native of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, Michael William Grady was born on December 23, 1869. He was the fifth of six surviving children born to Michael Grady and the former Mary Shay. The elder Grady was one of the first Irish immigrants to take up residence in the Chester County town. He worked for the Baltimore Central Railroad for over fifty years. Mary, also Irish, came to the United States at age 16.
Mike Grady learned baseball from his older twin brothers, Thomas and Timothy, with Timothy showing him the how to be a catcher. The twins played for the Mohican Baseball Club of Kennett Square in the mid-1880s; one of their teammates was a neighbor, Theodore Pennock, the father of Hall of Fame pitcher Herb.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Mike Grady played his first baseball game with the Brownson club of Wilmington, Delaware, in 1888. Box scores show him playing for West Chester's Brandywine Baseball Club in 1891 and Mohican of Kennett Square in 1892.
In April 1893, Grady signed to play for Camden A. A., a team of top-notch semi-professionals that was scheduled to tour the country. His first games there were spectacular, including an impressive display of power in a 9-2 win over Burlington on May 8, when the Inquirer observed that "Grady… made the longest home run on the grounds. He banged the ball far over the fence, breaking the globe of a city electric light standing in a street."
Less than three weeks later, Mike and pitcher George Bausewine jumped their contracts and joined the Allentown Colts of the Pennsylvania State League. Grady continued his superb play at catcher, was soon a fan favorite, and played in 65 straight games up to August 18 when he missed the York-Allentown train. Meanwhile, he was being scouted by Colonel John I. Rogers, co-owner of the Philadelphia Phillies, who signed him for 1894. Grady played 90 games for the Colts, posting a team-leading .362 average and seven home runs.
Mike Grady made his major league debut (but didn't bat) in a 22-5 Phillies win at Brooklyn on April 24, 1894, when he was a seventh inning substitute for catcher Lave Cross. His first major league hits came in an 18-5 trouncing of Brooklyn on May 8. Reviews of Grady's work were mixed; he was described as a good catcher and a fast thrower to the bases, but was always anxious and "fighting the ball," grabbing for it before it was within reach, causing unnecessary passed balls, a problem that plagued him throughout his career. With 110 passed balls, he is 37th on the most career passed balls (since 1893) by a catcher list.
Hitting wasn't a problem. In July, facing Pittsburgh, Sporting Life said "Grady… hit the ball well, being in all games with timely punches. The lad acts like a comer." Batting .355 on September 1, he was among the top hitters in the league. On August 17, Grady and four of his teammates had five hits each as the Phillies pummeled pitcher Jack Wadsworth for a nine inning record 36 hits in a 29-4 annihilation of Louisville. Grady (.363) appeared in 61 games his rookie year, 45 of them behind the plate and 11 at first base.
A scrappy and aggressive player on the baseball field, Mike Grady, according to the Kansas City Star, "makes a fierce contest out of everything in which he indulges," including cards, shooting pool, and the semi-pro football games he played during the fall seasons of 1894-1897. He played left guard for the West Chester team in 1894 and, in a 14-10 win over the University of Pennsylvania substitutes on November 24, was cut badly by a kick in the face and had to leave the game.
In another contest, Grady jumped cleats-first onto the neck and face of Phoenixville's J. R. Dunbar, who protested. According to author Stephen Fox, Grady told Dunbar, "I'm only trying to break your neck, you ______ of a ______." Dunbar's teammates took note and after the next play Grady was carried off the field. The game went on, interrupted by occasional fistfights, with the Phoenixville players fleeing in front of an angry mob that followed them back to their hotel and then to the train station, hurling beer bottles and breaking every light on the train. Mike's most strenuous exercise thereafter was ice skating on the frozen ponds of Kennett Square.
During the spring of 1895, Phillies manager Arthur Irwin appointed Mike captain of the reserves, substitute players Grady took to calling "yannigans" as they engaged the regulars in spirited intrasquad games during his four years with the club. A 1918 Washington Post article credited Grady with coining the word "yannigan." As an Irishman he knew that "in the ancient Celtic tongue Yanigan means anything that can be easily beaten, like carpets." The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary says Jerry Denny, a third baseman for Providence in 1884, is responsible for dumping the name yannigan on rookies. Dickson pinpointed 1898 as the first yannigan usage, so it's likely that Mike Grady popularized it in 1895, and it continued to appear during the twentieth century's first three decades. An avid reader and letter-writer, Grady, according to the Post, was also said to be the originator of "lalapaloosa."
Grady continued to be a backup (.325, 46 games) for the 1895 Phillies. In May, Sporting Life described him as "a very valuable man…able to satisfactorily fill most any of the positions on the nine outside of the pitcher's box, and he can always be relied upon to hit the ball, especially at critical times."
Mike did double-duty on June 8 in an 8-7 loss to Cleveland. Umpire Jim McDonald wasn't present for the beginning of the game so Grady and Cleveland's Chippy McGarr were pressed into service as arbiters (McGarr behind the plate, Grady at first) until McDonald showed up in the bottom of the second. Grady entered the game in the fourth for injured catcher Dick Buckley, notching two bunt hits and a run. He was an umpire for a second time on June 26, 1901, when he was behind home plate in a 5-4 Washington win over Philadelphia.
Mike was inconsistent during Philadelphia's 1896 season. He was hitting a league-leading .408 in June, but on August 22, Sporting Life said, "Grady has been putting up a very sloppy game behind the plate of late, and has fallen down completely in batting." He finished the season with a hardly shabby .318 average. Mike appeared in 72 games for the Phillies, 61 at catcher. His .942 fielding percentage was an improvement over those of his first two years.
In January 1897, the press speculated that Grady's days with Philadelphia were numbered. George C. Stallings, the Phillies' new manager, favored his three other catchers, Cross, Boyle and Clements. Grady saw action in only four early games, with Sporting Life noting that a loss to Baltimore "was primarily due to the wretched battery work of [Jack] Taylor and Grady." In mid-May, Stallings loaned Mike to the Philadelphia Athletics of the Class B Atlantic League, where he hit .200 in four games. On June 1, 1897, he was traded by Philadelphia with Kid Carsey to the St. Louis Browns for Ed McFarland. According to the Inquirer, "Stallings…never had any use for the one-time chief of the Yanigans."
Chris Von der Ahe, manager of the light-hitting Browns, wanted Grady because of his hard-hitting reputation and ability to play first base. The trade paid immediate dividends; after a 1-0 St. Louis win over Brooklyn on June 3, Sporting Life said "Grady…played first base and put lots of life into the Browns playing." In late-July, the magazine noted that "Grady is gradually getting first base down fine, and is proving a strong man [at the plate]." In early August, he won seven pounds of tobacco from a Louisville firm when he pounded seven home runs during a St. Louis home stand.
St. Louis, one of the worst clubs in major league history, had an 18-game losing streak from September 3 to September 26. Frustrated, an unruly Grady earned an ejection and $30 fine during an August 19 game against Brooklyn. Getting drunk caused more trouble. One of several players who were disciplined, Grady, said Sporting Life, "was docked $100 for emptying several breweries in Boston and Pittsburg and incidentally putting a waiter out in the former city." The magazine later offered this perspective: "That Grady imbibed too freely…while not condoned is not to be wondered at…If there ever was a more disorganized alleged ball club than Von der Ahe's crew last season the history of the league does not reveal it. It was enough to drive any player to drink."
Grady (.279) poled eight homers for the Browns, fourth in the league; his fielding percentage (.974) was tarnished by 23 errors at first base. On November 11, 1897, he was traded by the St. Louis Browns with Fred Hartman to the New York Giants for Jim Donnelly, Ducky Holmes and $3,500.
Grady hit two home runs in consecutive games with Boston in early May 1898, but it was only a few days later when Sporting Life said "Grady's batting is particularly disappointing." There was also his habit of arguing with umpires, which earned him five ejections. By mid-July, the magazine announced that "Grady is out of favor in New York because of his continual talking and constant kicking." In August, the Baltimore Morning Herald took this view: "A Kodak view of Mike Grady's brain would look like a glass of liquefied air." In 93 games, Grady played 57 at catcher, 30 in the outfield, and hit .296. His 22 passed balls were fourth in the league.
On October 24, 1898, Mike Grady married Estella F. Balsley at St. Edwards Church in her native Philadelphia. No children were born from this union. The couple divorced sometime before 1920.
Grady continued to be a utility player for the 1899 Giants, mostly at catcher and third base. He was the Giants' leading hitter (.337), and was particularly hot between May 26 and June 9 when he went 26-for-38. He had three four-hit games during the season, including August 18, when he was 4-for-4 with a single, double, and two triples in a 5-4 win over Cincinnati. In late August, Sporting Life remarked that he was doing nicely at third and was a valuable player, but "would do well to cut out about 50% of his tendency to kick…his kicking often results in nothing but wasted effort."
Mike's season was cut short in an early September against Baltimore when he was injured in a collision at home plate. Water formed under his kneecap, and he was out for the rest of the season, walking with the aid of a cane well beyond mid-October. Grady spent an extended period of time at home in Kennett Square after his brother Timothy died suddenly at age 34 on September 4.
Since 1910, numerous sources have described Mike Grady's record-setting four, five or six errors during a play he butchered at third base, supposedly in 1895, 1899, or at Chicago's West Side Park. In one version of the play, a ground ball to Grady was fumbled for an error (1); belated wild throw across the diamond (2); runner heads to third, Grady receives and can't hold the return throw, runner would have been out if he had (3); runner scrambles to his feet and heads home, Grady retrieves the ball and traps him in a run-down, should have tagged him out at third, but muffed the play (4); runner again heads home, Grady recovers the ball and would have gotten his man at the plate, but the throw was wild (5).
The play never happened. Baseball historian Bill Deane found that Grady only played 51 games at third base in his 11-year career and never made more than three errors in any game there, let alone in one at bat. His three error game was against Cleveland on August 25, 1899. "Could that have been the infamous day, with just the error count exaggerated," Deane asks. "Nope, Cleveland scored four runs that day, and all four were earned. And Sporting Life's account of the game includes no mention of Grady." Deane's conclusion: "I suspect Grady, like Wally Pipp and Bob Uecker, got a lot of mileage in telling self-deprecating stories about himself, and wouldn't let the truth stand in the way of a good yarn."
On April 26, 1900, Mike Grady, George Davis, and Kid Gleason were riding a streetcar bound for New York's Polo Grounds when they came upon an apartment house fully engulfed in flames on West 144th Street. The ballplayers were among the first on the scene and, according to the New York World, "worked like trojans in carrying down the helpless." At least 200 people were in the structure when the fire started and no lives were apparently lost. Firemen, passersby, and the ballplayers were hailed as heroes for their efforts.
Grady and the rough-and-tumble Gleason were roommates on the road during their time with the Giants. One night the team was bunking in a "pitcher and bowl" establishment, an old-fashioned hotel without running water in the rooms. After a few drinks too many, the pair were joking around with each other and Mike said something that stung the Kid pretty hard. Gleason promptly grabbed the water pitcher and smashed it over Grady's head. According to the Gazette-Telegraph, "He must have hit a hard spot, because it never fazed Grady, who winked his eye and apologized to the 'Kid.'"
Mike's early season performance was sub-par. Sporting Life, in mid-June, observed that "Grady has not caught a game since June 5, when he contributed three errors; this…with the fact that his average is only .250 accounts for his absence." In early July, the magazine reported that he had been shifted from shortstop to first base and said, "Grady and his temper came in for some warm roasts last week, and the touching up was not amiss. Grady would do well to control his temper, and incidentally cut out his everlasting senseless kicking." Later in the month, the press reported that the Giants were anxious to trade him.
On September 14, in the fourth inning of a 5-1 New York win against Chicago, the Giants had the bases loaded with Jack Doyle at third, George Davis at second, and Grady at first. With Pink Hawley at bat and pitcher Ned Garvin on the mound, Doyle broke for the plate, with Davis and Grady heading for third and second. Garvin fired a pitch and catcher Johnny Kling dropped the ball as Doyle slid over the plate with the run. According to Peter Morris's A Game of Inches, this triple steal is the earliest ever uncovered in major league history.
Mike Grady's performance plummeted as the 1900 Giants finished eighth. He hit .219, was used as a catcher and infielder, and had 37 errors and a .905 fielding percentage.
Grady and 21 other major leaguers from four clubs traveled to Cuba in late October for a series of exhibition games. Due to a misunderstanding with the Cuban clubs, the original terms of the agreement had to be scrapped, and a hastily scheduled lineup of games was cobbled together, some of which were delayed because of field reservation conflicts. Others had to be canceled. Ten of the players became disgusted and returned home early. Grady, who had taken his wife on the trip, was one of them, and assured the press that everyone came back with empty pockets. He had little good to say about Cuba, and added that T. C. Simpson, secretary of the Brooklyn club who had engineered the trip, had so mismanaged it that, as the Cleveland Plain Dealer put it, "the whole thing was a frost." To add insult to injury, Mrs. Grady's luggage had been lost en route.
Disgusted with what he perceived as ill-treatment in the National League, Mike Grady received a telegram from Washington manager Jim Manning in early April 1901 and soon jumped from New York to the Senators, one of nine Giants who moved to the fledgling American League during the baseball war of 1901-1902. In Grady's opinion, as told to the Washington Post, "I have never played for a good manager before, and from what I know of Manning, it will be a pleasure to play for him. I have the name of being one of the hardest men in the country to manage, but just tell the people that believe it to keep an eye on one Mike Grady this season and they will learn a few things about how a player should act and also a few new wrinkles in ball playing."
Picked to finish last in the American League, Washington was three games above .500 by the end of June. In the opinion of the Morning Herald, the Senators "have had the advantage of excellent battery work. Mike Grady seems to be paying more attention to the game and less to the umpire," a result that was caused by a standing bet with Manning of twenty-five cents worth of cigars that he would be thrown out of every game because of arguing. According to the Washington Times, "Whenever the Senatorial catcher becomes obstreperous, a fellow-player will remind him of the wager and he instantly cools off."
Mike Grady missed some July games with a hand injury. He also went down in August when he was spiked by Iron Man McGinnity. Grady played in 94 games for the Senators, 59 at first base and 30 at catcher. The club was first in the league in defense but lacked punch and was next to last in offense. Mike wasn't the problem in the latter category, posting a .285 average. He finished third in the league with nine home runs and ninth in slugging (.470).
Grady was unable to find major league work after the 1901 season. He was considered to be a good man on the field, but, in the words of the Pittsburgh Press, "his too convivial habits [excessive drinking] made him unreliable." Instead, he settled for a position with Kansas City of the American Association.
Appointed as team captain, Mike was still his pugnacious self. On June 8 in Minneapolis, he was blocked by third baseman Bill Phyle, resulting in a fist fight and ejection for both. On July 8 at Milwaukee, he was given the boot for excessive arguing. Grady earned a $200 fine in mid-August when he pulled the Blues off the field after a game-long dispute with umpire Haskell. Through it all, Sporting Life said "Mike Grady has endeared himself in the hearts of the Kansas City fans by his clever work." He was the leading hitter for fourth-place Kansas City, posting a .325 average.
Mike returned to Kansas City as captain in 1903. In late August, the Toledo Sunday Bee said "Mike Grady is giving satisfaction at the third corner, and rarely makes an error at that dangerous spot. He is lambasting the pill in earnest, and much of the success of [Kansas City] is due to the former backstop's good eye." His season was cut short by injuries in early September, but he finished second in the league's batting race with a .355 average in 120 games.
By February 1904, positive press reports paved the way for Mike's return to the majors. In the view of the Pittsburgh Press, "Since going with Kansas City, [Grady] has remained strictly sober, and the reports to his conduct have been excellent." Impressed with Mike's prospects, St. Louis Cardinals arranged a trade for him with Kansas City; Cardinals manager Kid Nichols wanted him to do the bulk of the catching.
By mid-June, Grady was hitting over .400 and was the National League's leading batsman, having failed to hit safely in only three games since the beginning of the season. In late August, the St. Louis Republic was singing his praises: "Mike is clouting the ball at a terrific clip… [He] hits the ball with more force than any batter in the league."
Grady played a career-high 101 games and hit .313, fourth in the league; his slugging percentage (.474) was second, and he was seventh with five home runs. According to the Oakland Tribune, "Mike Grady is sure of his place on the Cardinals next year. Mike's throwing to the bases was not any too good last season, but his timely swats made up for the deficiency in fielding." He signed a two year contract with the Cardinals in early December.
At age 35, Grady's career headed downhill in 1905. He performed well early, but badly sprained his knee on May 21 in a home plate collision, sidelining him for three weeks. In late August, the Boston Globe noted that "Grady is one of the most valuable catchers in the National League, as he can hit as well as backstop and is up-to-date on the fine points of play."
The 1905 Cardinals had three managers and considered getting another one for 1906; Grady nominated himself in early October by telling the press that he would make the St. Louis a first-division team if he was given the job. The Post's reaction: "Mike Grady solicits the job of manager of the Cardinals. If someone can be found to manage Mike the combination might work to the advantage of the club." By late November, reports said that Grady (.286) was trade-bait, but other clubs weren't biting, probably because he was, in the view of the Ft. Wayne News, "a disturbing factor on the St. Louis team."
Cardinals' president Robison, after considering Grady's interest, retained manager John McCloskey; it was the last straw for Mike, who said he was tired of St. Louis and wanted out. The Cardinals, still trying to deal him elsewhere, hung on to the disruptive slugger and his declining average (.250). Grady (1-for-3) caught pitcher Ed Karger in his last major league appearance on September 19, a 4-0 loss in Philadelphia.
In the Seattle Times opinion, "Mike Grady had just one virtue as a baseball player. He can hit a long fly ball. As a receiver he is lax on pitches, drops a lot of them and his arm is on the blinkerino. He … was more or less a professional agitator… and really was not at all a desirable man to have about. And he was after McCloskey's job, too… it can be easily seen from every standpoint that the angelic Michael was not the worst riddance in the world. Grady would make a good man in one respect – to hit for pitchers or weak batters in pinches toward the end of the game. In a small park his flail would assert itself to effect now and then."
Grady also got on base the hard way; he was hit by pitches 73 times in his career, 183rd in major league history. He stole 114 bases, but was caught stealing 435 times (87th). Some of the criticism of his catching is valid; he allowed 750 stolen bases (70th), and committed 132 errors behind the dish (99th).
In March 1907, Mike was still the property of the Cardinals but had not been signed or, as promised, traded; he appealed to the National Commission for his release and it was granted in early April. With no major league suitors, Mike was signed for $3,500 by William Connolly, president and manager of the Wilmington Peaches of the Tri-State League.
Wilmington got off to a 3-16 start under Connolly, who hired recently deposed Johnstown manager Charles Atherton to pilot the team on May 18. Atherton lasted less than five weeks, leaving his post on June 22 to be with his ill mother in Cleveland. Mike Grady succeeded him as team manager and captain. The Wilmington Sunday Morning Star noted that "no man ever worked harder for a ball club than Mike." Under his stewardship, the players were hitting and fielding well, working together, and "playing snappy ball" as they won seven of nine games.
Although the team played well, Grady still had problems with umpires. He was ejected on June 10 by umpire Moran, who assessed a five dollar fine. Before the next day's game, Mike approached Moran on the field and gave him a bag of 500 pennies. Moran refused them and threatened him with another ejection if he didn't pay with greenbacks. The standoff was halted when President Connolly emerged from the stands and gave Moran a five dollar bill.
The Peaches performed poorly down the stretch, losing 26 of 38 after August 4, including every game during the season's last week, surrendering sixth place to Johnstown. Wilmington (43-79, seventh) finished 42 games behind pennant-winning Williamsport. Mike was Wilmington's leading hitter (.276, 101 games). He made his only professional pitching appearance in the season finale on September 14 at Johnstown, giving up 13 hits and two walks in a 6-2 loss that Sporting Life called "a farcical victory… Neither side played any ball; the players all worked to get the game over as quickly as possible." The contest took only 57 minutes.
On September 23, 1907, Wilmington announced that Grady would return as manager in 1908, a tenure that lasted just three weeks before he resigned on May 20. He remained with the team as captain and catcher, but was unhappy, telling the press in late June that he was done with the game and planned to go into the hotel business. A month later, he said that he would leave baseball and devote his time to his brick manufacturing business in Kennett Square. Neither plan materialized. He was released by Wilmington on July 30 and signed with the Tri-State's Lancaster Red Roses a day later. Grady (.235) appeared in a combined 79 games for Wilmington and Lancaster. In two partial seasons, his managerial record was 38-56, .404.
Grady started 1909 with Lancaster, but didn't get along well with manager Marty Hogan and was sold to the Harrisburg Senators in early May. He was most noticeable during the early season filling in as an umpire, working a Williamsport-Harrisburg game in late April and a Reading-Harrisburg game on May 6. Mike was used as a pinch-hitter by the Senators, but was released in mid-July after being ill for several weeks. He appeared in 40 games for Lancaster and Harrisburg, hitting .259. Grady was signed by the Little Rock Travelers on August 9, posting a .175 average in 22 games as a catcher/first baseman. Little Rock's players were purchased by Chattanooga after the 1909 season, and Grady was released on December 14, ending his professional career.
Now age 40, Mike returned to Kennett Square, where he lived with his mother and sister on South St. He had owned a quarry and brick manufacturing plant for years; in 1909, he became associated with American Road Machinery, which produced graders, steamrollers, and rock breakers. He also worked with his brother Thomas, a contractor, until Thomas died in 1920.
Grady was active in Chester County baseball in 1910. In July, he caught 16-year-old Herb Pennock in two games, one for the Mohican club and another for Kennett Square, a 5-2 victory on the 23rd in which the future Hall of Famer fanned ten Sharpless A. A. batters. Mike first saw Herb as a left-handed catcher with the Cedarcroft Academy baseball team and told him to get out of catching and stick to pitching. According to Frank Vaccaro's Pennock biography, Grady "made [him] his personal project." The hurler told The Sporting News shortly after Mike's death, "He coached us all. He showed me how to break off a curve, instead of throwing a roundhouse."
In August, Grady became field manager of the Coatesville independent team, which won five of six games against Brandywine in September. Sensational news broke on September 24 when it was announced that Grady had exposed a plot by two of his players, Hennessey and Sundheim, to throw that day's game at West Chester to Brandywine. The two players and a Coatesville hotel bartender, "Big Frank," had placed heavy wagers on Brandywine to win. Both players confessed and were immediately released. According to the Inquirer, the fans in Coatesville "were so indignant that they drove the two players from the town."
Mike's final game for Kennett Square was in June 1911 when he played first base in a 4-2 loss to Westmoreland of Camden. Thereafter, he coached Kennett in 1912, managed an amateur club in Wilmington, and took an interest in local baseball.
By January 1920, Grady was living on East South Street with his sister Annie and her husband Albert Keating. He continued to live there until, after a two-year illness, he died of hardening of the arteries on December 3, 1943. He was survived by his sisters, Annie and Mary. Funeral services were held on December 6 at St. Patrick's Church, and internment was in St. Patrick's Cemetery. He was inducted into the Chester County Sports Hall of Fame on November 13, 2010.

For this project, Canadian Solar will supply over 720,000 of its 1500V KuMax modules, which will be installed on single-axis solar tracking systems. The Kiamal solar plant will be located 3km North of Ouyen township in Northwest Victoria and about 100km south of Mildura. The project has now entered into the construction phase.
It has secured several power purchase agreements (PPAs) with energy retailers including Flow Power and Alinta Energy and a 20-year PPA with Mars Australia.
The project is expected to reach commercial operations by the middle of next year. When completed, the solar plant will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 133,500 Victorian homes, while displacing more than 610,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
The responsibility of the solar plant's construction has been given to a turnkey consortium jointly led by Biosar Australia, part of the Greek infrastructure group Aktor, and Canadian Solar.
During the construction phase, the project is expected to generate nearly 200 local jobs and 7 jobs during the operational phase.
Canadian Solar chairman and CEO Shawn Qu said: "We are delighted to be selected by a very ambitious and professional IPP such as Total Eren to provide EPC services together with Biosar and to supply our 1500V crystalline module to this large-scale solar power project which was very diligently developed. This partnership further expands our presence and solidifies our competitive position in Australia.
Total Eren stated that it is working with TransGrid to provide a new 220kV Kiamal Terminal Station and Collector Substation, with transformers designed and manufactured locally by Wilsons Transformers in Victoria.
The company is also seeking to expand Kiamal Solar Farm with an addition of up to 194MW capacity in the second stage of the project.

Your data is your business, it's as simple as that. No organisation can function without digital records covering customers, suppliers and staff. Critical intellectual property will also almost always be held digitally,so protecting your data is vital. Historically, all firms needed to worry about was a server or hardware failure and while that's still an issue for some, so is the increasing risk of cyber-attacks.
The recent "WannaCry" ransomware attack has brought this into sharp focus. It has affected hundreds of thousands of computers globally, including several NHS Trusts, Germany's rail network Deutsche Bahn, Telefonica, US logistics giant FedEx, and Russia's interior ministry. The fact that the cyber-criminals behind the attack were able to utilise tools first developed by the US National Security Agency gave the attack a new potency.
The attack has been described by many - including Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer, Brad Smith - as a "wake-up call", and it is exactly that. It's easy to point the finger of blame, but it's different when you're at the coalface running real IT systems. WannaCry was exceptional in terms of the level of sophistication; we've obviously seen ransomware before, but what's different here is the military-grade code behind it. It is possible that patched systems would have stopped or slowed the attack, but for Enterprise organisations running hundreds or thousands of individual machines, applying the updates is still a relatively time consuming process.
Last year, 40% of UK firms were attacked by ransomware. Whilst ransomware does not "steal" information as such, it encrypts data so that users cannot access it unless (in theory) they pay the criminals and obtain a "key". But this is a dangerous game since it's not unknown for cyber-criminals to simply vanish and pocket the cash. Most agree that paying the cyber-criminals is not a sensible step – all it does is perpetuate the problem. And, of course, organisations can still lose data through a variety of other means; server and hardware failures are relatively common, as is an employee accidentally deleting files. Indeed, accidental deletion happens in most organisations almost every day. In another example, a disgruntled employee might wipe data, or even take company data with them to their next job. To add perspective, some 70% of the successful attacks on businesses came from internal threats like employees and contractors. Even small data losses – those with fewer than 100 files lost – are estimated to cost organisations £14,595-£28,793.
Have a plan in place and test, test, test!
Where this leaves us is to reinforce the importance of backup. Simply put, if data is properly protected then most of these issues are mitigated. In the case of ransomware, an attack could still infect computers (and take businesses offline for a while) and be hugely disruptive, BUT the attackers are left without leverage because the data can be recovered and the firm remains in business. It is a sad fact that statistics show that 70% of businesses that experience a major data loss are out of business within one year.
Our message to organisations is to test your Backup and Disaster Recovery plans - today. Most organisations do back up data to some extent, but many never test to check that they can recover their data. Consequently, it's not until disaster strikes that they realise their recovery plan simply doesn't work. So if a company hasn't tested and validated its backup for three months, that could be three months worth of data that the organisation loses. Aligned to this point is the importance of determining the backup cycle. It should be as close to real time as possible; if the cycle is set to backup data at the end of the day, then that leaves a "data gap" of 24 hours that may not be recoverable. That's sufficient to significantly disrupt most companies. The emphasis therefore needs to be on recovery so that in the event of a serious issue, the firm is able to resume business as usual as quickly as possible.
What are your next steps as a business? Having a reliable IT partner in place who will run validity checks, data recovery tests and propose solutions to mitigate the risk is key. That partner should ensure that your business is patched, protected and resilient in the face of the escalating attack environment.

Americans have been in horror and shock as images of police killing two black men went viral on social media, and later when a sniper opened fire during a peaceful Black Lives Matter rally in Dallas, killing five police officers and leaving seven more officers and two civilians wounded. Now another lone gunman has claimed the lives of three more officers in Baton Rouge.
We at North Carolinians Against Gun Violence decry the cycle of gun violence in America. The police killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge and Philando Castile outside St. Paul are abhorrent examples of the routinized use of violent, deadly force with guns as a first rather than last resort. The Dallas sniper shootings and the Baton Rouge police killings make plain what sort of tragedies are possible when easy access to deadly weapons combines with fury and hatred.
We value law enforcement as allies in working to keep communities safe. Law enforcement officers are understandably concerned about the number of guns on our streets and their increased firepower. The escalation of the civilian arms race—with more and more people carrying more and more high-powered guns—is indeed alarming and dangerous, but that can never be an excuse to violate the rights of the civilians they are vowed to protect or to justify disproportionate force.
We mourn with the families, friends and colleagues of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, the officers gunned down in Dallas and now, Baton Rouge. We pledge to them that our determination to end the daily gun slaughter on our streets is only strengthened. Let us resolve that these horrific losses of life will not be in vain, but will inspire us to come together and end the arms race that is disproportionately killing Black Americans and turning peaceful protests, nightclubs, churches and schools into sites of tragedy.

Elsie Mae is pretty sure this'll be the best summer ever.
She gets to explore the cool, quiet waters of the Okefenokee Swamp around her grandparents' house with her new dog, Huck, and she's written a letter to President Roosevelt that she's confident will save the swamp from a shipping company and make her a major hometown hero. Then, news reaches Elsie Mae of some hog bandits stealing from swamper families, and she sees another opportunity to make her family proud while waiting to hear back from the White House.
"Cavanaugh weaves an engaging story with characters you immediately fall in love with. The text offers a poignant window into the customs and lifestyle of the swampers who lived there in the 1930s. Written with humor and sensitivity and reflecting the vernacular of the time, this book would be a great intro to a lesson on the National Wildlife Refuge system, conservation, and preservation.

The Gunners have been in awful form in recent weeks and lost 2-1 to Brighton on Saturday.
But they secured a crucial Europa League win tonight following goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey.
Speaking after the clash, Wenger said: "It is an important win of course after we had a nightmare week.
"Overall it is important to win, but it is not qualification.
"We have to finish the job at home. I am happy with the spirit and response we gave.
"We were not in a position to take risks, but we could not be too cautious as you lose fluidity. We defended with resilience until the end.
"When you play in a cup final it is hard to digest in a few days.
"When you are knocked down like a boxer you don't have time to react and you are only halfway up, but you have to respond.
Arsenal have faced criticism in recent weeks for a lack of character in their ranks.
He said: "We started well, we got a couple of goals in the first half and we have shown we have plenty of character in the team.
"It is never easy to come to the San Siro and play AC Milan, we came here before and lost 4-0.
"We played well in the first half and moved the ball well and kept a clean sheet.

Carson Wentz dealing with a fracture in his back
Published: Dec 13, 2018 at 04:47 AM
Kevin Patra
Carson Wentz's back is more than sore, it's fractured.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that a battery of tests revealed the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has a fracture in his back, per sources informed of the injury.
Per Rapoport, the Eagles performed CT scans throughout the season, but none revealed the fracture until now. The team is still determining if there is any risk of worsening the injury if Wentz continues to play.
The QB will not need surgery.
Wentz missed practice as the Eagles sought further information on the back injury. He'd previously been on the injury report with a back injury earlier this season. Coach Doug Pederson characterized the issue as "soreness" on Wednesday. Now we know it's much more than that.
Rapoport previously reported Wentz is expected to miss Sunday's game versus the Los Angeles Rams, and the Eagles could contemplate shutting down the starter for the season. The fractured back makes it more likely Wentz will miss the final three games.
With no surgery coming for #Eagles QB Carson Wentz, rest is the key. That's why he's not expected to play on Sunday — with QB Nick Foles starting. No determination has been made on Injured Reserve… but they won't put him at risk. Looking more likely we'll next see him in '19.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 13, 2018
At 6-7, the Eagles still own an outside shot at the playoffs. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles will take over under center as long as Wentz is out. Foles started the first two games of the season as Wentz returned from a torn ACL, completing 65 percent of his passes with one touchdown and one interception as the Eagles started 1-1.
If the Eagles shut down Wentz for the season, they'll need Foles to recapture last year's postseason magic to keep Philly's dimming playoff hopes alive.
The back fracture is the latest in a string of issues for Wentz, who played through a rib injury early in his rookie campaign (missed preseason) and suffered a season-ending ACL tear last December.


It's hard for us to admit, but winter is just around the corner. There's nothing better than coming inside to a warm, cozy house during a Haverhill winter. If you are in need of a furnace replacement you might arrive home to an unwelcome, chilly surprise. A properly maintained furnace should last anywhere from 12-18 years. If your furnace is getting up there in age, there are a few warning signs you can look for to let you know it's time to look into a replacement.
If the sounds that go bump in the night (or day) is your furnace, it might be time to start looking into a replacement furnace. When a furnace starts to reach the end of its life it lets you know by getting noisier. You may notice it running constantly or turning off and on more frequently.
Of course it's perfectly normal to expect to give the team at Andrew DiPietro's Climate Zone a call for service each year, but if you're having to call for repairs more frequently it may be a sign your system is on its last leg. As your furnace gets older it will require more maintenance and will also run less efficiency. You may start to see that the cost of upkeep and the cost of running your old system outweighs the benefits.
Your furnace should be keeping your home comfortable. That's its job. If your furnace is no longer keeping up with your thermostat or you're finding temperatures throughout your home inconsistent, it may be time to start looking into a replacement system and the team at Climate Zone can help. An older furnace may have trouble properly distributing the air throughout your home.
When it comes time to look into furnace replacement, your team at Andrew DiPietro's Climate Zone will help you through the process. We know that a replacement furnace is a major investment. We will work with you to help determine if you're in need of a repair or if it's time for a replacement. We don't just want to keep you comfortable in your home, we want you to be comfortable with your home comfort decisions. We would be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may be having, give us a call at (978) 872-1190 or set up an appointment with us using our online scheduler.

I'm a fiber artist who's happiest surrounded by piles of colorful fabric. Creating with fabric and thread has been part of my life as long as I can remember. And although I began quilting many years ago in the traditional way, using traditional patterns and methods, over the last decade I've been experimenting with more abstract, contemporary designs using primarily solid fabrics so that the focus is on color, line, and shape. Color and texture are very important to my work. Each piece is created entirely on my domestic sewing machine, and I do all the work—from designing the composition, to piecing it together, to adding texture with free motion quilting. The motifs are stitched directly onto the fabric with my sewing machine without marking ahead of time or using a computer program—it's just me using my needle and thread as though I had a pencil or brush in my hand.
I show and sell my work in fine art and craft shows all over the country, and I have a busy show schedule coming up this spring. Mark your calendars and plan to stop by if you're in the area of any of these shows! It's a great opportunity to find unique gifts you won't find anywhere else, or maybe something special for yourself.
Located in my hometown of Gainesville, FL, this fine art and craft show takes over the historic downtown area with 250 artists in a variety of media, from painting to photography, jewelry to ceramics and more. The last two years I was fortunate to win an Award of Excellence at this show, for originality, execution, and overall presentation of my work. It's quite an honor! Hours are 10-5 both days.
Located in the beautiful Beaux Arts building that houses the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, NY, this show combines a unique venue with the opportunity to see high-quality contemporary art. There are 90 artists participating, including media such as wood, ceramics, glass, jewelry, wearable and decorative fiber, leather, and mixed media. There's a convenient subway stop close by, and daily admission of $16 allows you to visit the museum itself while you're there. Hours are 11-6 both days.
The One of a Kind show rounds out my holiday show season. Located in the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago and including more than 600 artists in a variety of media, it's an experience to attend! You'll have the opportunity to speak with the artists about their work, their inspiration and their process, and attend actual demonstrations of art, as well as enjoying fashion shows, food and music over four days. Hours are 11-8 Thursday and Friday, 10-7 Saturday, and 10-5 Sunday, and admission is $12/day.

The Equalizer 2 (Review)
DIRECTOR: Antoine Fuqua
CAST: Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Ashton Sanders, Bill Pullman, Melissa Leo, Orson Bean, Sakina Jaffrey, Jonathan Scarfe, Adam Karst
RUNNING TIME: 121 mins
CERTIFICATE: 15
BASICALLY…: Vigilante Robert McCall (Washington) seeks revenge when his friend (Leo) is murdered by ruthless assassins…
The Equalizer 2 marks the first sequel of not just director Antoine Fuqua's career, but also lead actor Denzel Washington's career, although you have to question why they decided on this film to be the first follow-ups they've ever done, given how underwhelming the end results are.
Fuqua's 2014 big-screen reboot of the classic Edward Woodward television series of the same name didn't exactly leave the biggest impact upon release; though the inclusion of a powerhouse actor like Washington in the lead role added some gravitas to the proceedings, the rest of the movie was a pretty generic, slow-paced and overall not memorable enough to last within the subconscious. I had to go back and re-read my review for the first one just so I could remember certain things about it, because I sure as hell didn't remember anything from the one and only time I ever saw it.
This movie, however, I'll have an even harder time remembering should they ever make a third one, because so much of it is made up of stuff that's been done so many times that there is nearly nothing that stands out about it, and the things that they do try and bring to the table, from the graphic violence to the overly intense action sequences, aren't interesting enough to really set itself apart from many other films like it. You'll be a lot more bored by this movie than you will be genuinely entertained, and it doesn't even have the decency to be fun either.
Washington reprises his role as Robert McCall, a lowly vigilante who exacts justice on those that have done wrong in society; here, he's taken up the position of a Lyft driver to pass the time, which every now and then also gives him rotten people to teach a lesson, like wealthy businessmen who have abused a young intern. McCall's lonely and quiet existence is shattered, however, when his friend Susan (Melissa Leo) is killed whilst investigating an apparent murder-suicide in Brussels, and he goes on the warpath to find the mercenaries who are responsible and bring them to his own definition of justice, on a mission that also sees him reunite with former military buddy Dave (Pedro Pascal), who is now a DIA operative who worked with Susan in Brussels.
It fits right alongside the first one in the sense that it's overwhelmingly generic; again, you have seen this kind of plot before many times, with the retired Special Forces person being called back into action following the death of a close friend or family member, said protagonist bonding with a local neighbourhood kid who may or may not be going down a criminal path – this one being played by Ashton Sanders from Moonlight – and the villain turning out to be someone that they thought could trust. If that last part was a spoiler, it shouldn't be; you can tell this person is a little shady right away from their first scene, and when the film does eventually get to that reveal you'll have cracked it long before Denzel has. It's a script that lacks any real surprises or levels of excitement, and it fails to write the characters or plot points in ways that at all interesting or intriguing enough to hold your attention, leaving you fighting off boredom whilst Denzel Washington fights off bad guys in this dull, stock, occasionally stylish action-thriller with very little action or thrills.
The movie feels a lot more uninteresting because Fuqua has once again given it a pacing that even snails would complain to be too slow. This isn't even that long of a movie, clocking in at just over two hours, but it feels a lot longer because Fuqua pads it out with unnecessary filler and characters with entire sub-plots that could have easily been cut out entirely. There's a sub-plot, for example, where Denzel's character befriends an elderly Holocaust survivor who is looking for a painting of his missing sister; it can be touching at times, but there's really no reason for it to be in this cut of the movie as it doesn't impact the narrative in any way shape or form, it doesn't come back as an important plot point in any way, and it's spliced in to the movie as though they forgot to take it out and then restore it for a DVD-only extended cut. I've noticed in a lot of recent Fuqua movies that he likes to pad things out to a point where the pacing can become tedious and so slow that you're just impatiently waiting for it to get to the point; both of his Equalizer movies are no different, but they – more noticeably with this one than the other one – aren't even entertaining enough to hold your attention throughout most of the overstuffed claptrap that's unfolding on the screen.
There are a couple of good things I can say about it; for one, Denzel Washington is really good in this, but you kind of already knew that he'd turn in a solid performance regardless of the quality of film he's in, so that shouldn't be too much of a surprise; and while most of the action is pretty uninteresting and dull to look at, there are a couple of sequences that work if only for the sudden over-the-top nature to them in an otherwise straight-faced movie (there's a fight between Denzel and an assassin in a car that marks the biggest moment of actual fun in this movie, and the climax earns a couple of points for ambition due to setting it in the middle of a hurricane).
Largely, however, this is a bit of a wasted opportunity for both Fuqua and Washington, especially seeing how this is their first sequel in their respective careers; maybe they should have shopped around for a better one before deciding on this one, that way there'd be at least a solid reason for them to do a sequel.
SO, TO SUM UP…
The Equalizer 2 is a mostly dull, generic and very unengaging action-thriller sequel that is more boring than exciting, and wastes a decent lead performance by Denzel Washington thanks to its snail-paced plotting and unoriginal script.

Interview. Leadsom accuses Benn and Letwin of undermining efforts to prepare businesses for Brexit.
By Mark Wallace
Follow @wallaceme
Peter Aldous: If the Government is to deliver on climate change, it needs better Parliamentary scrutiny of trade deals
Daniel Hamilton: So we have a new CDU Chairman. Will a CDU-Green coalition follow after Germany's federal election?
Robert Largan: Cutting Council Tax would do more to level up than cutting Corporation Tax
Alec Cadzow: Global Britain must be prepared to intervene in the Middle East
Tomorrow, Andrea Leadsom will have been Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy for three months. It's no surprise which topic has dominated that time – and it was evident speaking to her yesterday afternoon that business readiness for Brexit continues to play on her mind:
"We've got pretty much big businesses ready for Brexit in all possible permutations…but then at the other end if the spectrum we've got small and medium-sized business, some of whom are saying: 'I'm just so busy I don't really have the time or the energy to actually go out and make preparations for a No Deal Brexit unless I'm absolutely certain that's what's going to happen'."
She revealed her frustration that the job of ensuring the private sector is preparing itself for every eventuality is being made more difficult by events in Westminster, specifically as a result of the Benn Act:
"One of the fundamental problems we've had is since the Benn Act, the Surrender Act, what's happened is for lots of businesses prior to that coming in around half of all businesses surveyed…thought before the Benn Act that No Deal was likely, but following the Benn Act that dropped to about a quarter… There's no doubt that Parliament trying to prevent No Deal is actually ironically meaning some businesses are therefore just not preparing for it."
Leadsom can recite by heart a long list of measures in place to support and encourage businesses to prepare – from BEIS helplines and grants to trade bodies, through to webinars and road shows. However:
"We've done a lot, and there's a lot of help out there but we're still concerned. Partly because Parliament has forced us to delay before, there are some businesses saying 'Well we got ready at the end of March and Parliament didn't let you leave, and so here we are coming up the end of October and the Benn Act again says you're not going to leave."
Asked whether the Letwin amendment and the Speaker's intervention on Monday had added to that problem, she replied they had "definitely, definitely exacerbated it, yes. I'm doing everything I possibly can, and you'll be detecting the frustration in my voice…that what Parliament is doing is discouraging businesses from taking the steps they need to take to be ready for Brexit."
With the emergence of the Prime Minister's surprise deal last week, she sees imminent hope of good economic news if it can be steered successfully through Parliament. Indeed she expects a 'bounceback' generated by businesses making decisions which they had postponed amid political uncertainty:
"I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth…but certainly the very clear impression I have is that because this uncertainty is hampering investment and hiring and export decisions, by definition once we've got clarity, yes, I would expect there to be a bounceback from businesses. In the last few days, businesses I have met have been saying to me waiting to make an investment decision on x or y…we just need to know where we stand in order to make that decision."
By implication, further delay by Parliament surely means a delay in unlocking those decisions.
In terms of post-Brexit policy, recent days have seen Labour MPs seek further guarantees from the Government in terms of regulation – does that amount to Leadsom's policy flexibility being traded away for votes? She was keen to emphasise that "we want to be best in class" in terms of workers' rights and environmental protection, dismissing "the politics of screaming at us across the Chamber that we're trying to race to the bottom…that is absolutely not the case. We have some of the best rights for workers across the EU and some of the highest environmental regulations and we want to retain those."
As a Leave campaigner, who did not exactly discourage comparisons to Margaret Thatcher when she stood for the Conservative Party leadership, the Business Secretary might surprise some by being relatively cool on the initial prospects for deregulation (though she similarly talked down the prospect of changing employment rules during the referendum itself):
"There isn't an agenda that we want to divert from the EU for the sake of it. When we leave the EU we will have exactly the same rules and regulations, and there isn't some 'well let's change it just because we can'. This is a case of wanting to be able as we move forward into the most extraordinary period of innovation…in areas like life sciences, technologies that take advantage of extraordinary opportunities in space, in productive gains right across our economy…we want to be able to regulate the same way as the EU where we want to do that but equally have better, stronger, more appropriate regulations where we want to. This isn't some kind of agenda to deregulate, it's an agenda to be free to improve and do better."
Leadsom is not the only person who finds their thoughts moving hopefully to the prospect of a time in which Brexit is done and there is room once more to discuss other policies and ideas. Practically champing at the bit, she provided us with a tour through her plans for her brief beyond the B-word:
"I've set out three key priorities: the first one is the road to net zero, right up there as the top priority, leading the world in tackling climate change. The second priority is taking advantage of the extraordinary grand challenges that face us: life sciences giving everyone a longer and healthier life; fusion that will enable carbon-free electricity…different measures that will transform productivity, whether it's robotics or Artificial Intelligence…that can enable us to become much more productive as an economy and I would hope to solve that productivity problem that has dogged us for over a decade…"
"…And then the third priority is to make the UK the best place in the world to work and to grow a business. The best place in the world to work because of our high standards, our commitment to workers' rights, to greater flexibility, to providing more support for families, for bereaved parents, for protections for those returning from parental leave, and indeed for those who've got caring responsibilities for elderly relatives and so on. We want to strengthen the rights of workers, but we also want to support businesses…I'm very interested in the idea of a UK Development Bank that would help businesses to scale up to become the big brands of tomorrow, and would help to support many more small startups particularly female entrepreneurs, young entrepreneurs, [and] people from different ethnic backgrounds to get onto the ladder of owning and starting and growing their own business."
And how about life after the other B-word: Bercow. Given that the Speaker with whom she crossed swords as Leader of the House is due to belatedly depart in a matter of days, what is she looking for in his successor?
"I'm a huge fan of Eleanor Laing. She's a very old friend of mine and I know very well her style, which is very calm, very reassuring. And I think she's completely incorruptible, so she in my view is by far and away the best candidate."
