The Attitude of Hungarian Society Towards Same-Sex Marriage
by Reka Csaba, Roland Reiner and Integrity Labon December 15, 2016 August 7, 2017

36% of Hungarians support same-sex marriage, while 56% are against it – according to the latest national representative opinion poll conducted by Budapest Pride and Integrity Lab. The support for legalizing the right is significantly higher: 46% of the respondents would not exclude same-sex couples from having such a possibility. Both results are better than in previous years, and the fact that the latter is even higher is an exception in the region: earlier researches showed that in Eastern-European countries the support for intoducing the right for same-sex couples is usually lower than for the right to marry. 60% of the population agrees with the principle that lesbian, gay and bisexual persons should have the same rights as anyone else.
Figure 1. Results in total population
Women and Graduates Are More Supportive
Almost 40% of women support same-sex marriage as compared with one-third of men. The ratio of supporters is also significantly higher among graduates than the average: 43% of them approve of the right of same-sex couples to marry.
In spite of international trends, the support was not higher in the youngest generation than in the older ones – although the population of Budapest used to be perceived as the most progressive in terms of social issues, those living in countryside towns are more supportive towards same-sex marriage than those living in the capital, according to our research. Both trends have been more and more visible recently: Hungarian youth is more conformist in terms of social issues than the EU average, and Budapest is becoming less liberal and progressive compared to the other parts of the country.
Religion Polarizes
Self-proclaimed ecclesiastic religious people have the most negative attitude towards the right: three-fourth of them would not approve it. Unlike them, among those who say they are 'definitely not religious', the proportion of supporters is outstanding – it is just as much as those against the extension of the right.
Right-Left Cleavage
There is a clear difference between the voters of right and left-liberal parties: the former are more likely to be against same-sex marriage, while the latter are more supportive. 71% of Fidesz supporters are against (the highest proportion of all parties). The majority of left-liberal opposition parties are in favor of the extension, while the voters of the biggest opposition party (MSZP) are the most divided – however, there are even more supporters among them than the national average.
Hungarian Society Is Less Traditional Than Believed by Right-Wing Parties
Special importance of being married while in a relationship is basically denied by the results: more than 80% of Hungarians think it is not necessary to get married to live together, and two-third of them approve of even having a child without marriage. Almost 60% of the respondents debunk the argument – which is often used by political opponents – that same-sex marriage would threaten Hungarian families and children.
Respondents do not see the movement to promote same-sex marriage as a political one. Two-thirds of Hungarians consider love and commitment to be the main motivations for same-sex couples to get married and only 13% thought it is for political reasons.
26 % of Hungarians Have LGB Acquaintances
One quarter of the population answered 'yes' to the question whether they have any lesbian, gay or bisexual acquaintances. They are also by 10% more supportive with same-sex marriage: 46% would approve it. This proves the positive correlation between personally knowing LGBTQ persons and supporting either same-sex marriage specifically, or the issue of general equality or extension of rights.

Lithuanian Ruling Coalition Survived

What Do You Have In Your House?
Have you ever thought about what you would do if you lost your job and could not find another one, and your bills are past due? Perhaps you have a nest egg put away. If so, how long will it last? What would you do if you could not pay your bills?
As you read the brief overview of the widow's misfortune, keep in mind that she inherited the debt left by her late husband. She didn't have any means of support, but the creditor wanted an immediate resolution.
The writer didn't give us a name to associate this woman with, we only know that she had two sons, a bit of oil, and a debt to pay. Her husband's creditor held her responsible for paying the bill.
However, there was a Mosiac Law established for people who had no means of financial support. The common practice at the time was to allow a debtor's children to become bondservants to the creditor until the debt was paid in full; (Lev. 25:39-41).
So, the widow sought after the Prophet Elisha and she cried out for his help. By the spirit of prophecy Elisha instructed her to go and borrow empty vessels from her neighbors, foreseing that a large quantity of oil would be given to her.
Although she had a small amount of olive oil in a flask she decided to follow the prophets instructions, and in doing so the oil began to flow. Stepping out in faith she went to her neighbors and collected all of the empty vessels that they willingly gave her. She filled the empty vessels and started selling the oil.
As she kept feeling the jars, she realized that the more she poured, the more the oil flowed. The vessels gave out more that they could hold. Over and over again she filled the jars with oil and instead of running out of oil the containers ran out. She earned enough money to pay her husband's creditor, and her sons were not subjected to involuntary servitude.
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves"; (2nd Cor. 4:7 AMSB).
In the account of the widow we see an outward appearance of the Holy Spirit represented by the oil. Though she had but a small amount of oil the widow obeyed the prophets command. By faith she went to her neighbors believing for empty vessels to pour oil into. The empty vessels that were given to her represents those who are in need of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit; (Acts 2:15-17, 38; Joel 2:28).
For the Christian the Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of our bodies. Spiritually our bodies are seen as temples that house the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the power of God. He works through us and gives us power to achieve things that ordinarily we're unable to accomplish.
Nothing given from the Holy Spirit lacks, nor is deficient in anyway. This is represented by the increase of the amount of oil the widow was able to pour into the empty vessels. She was able to meet her demand, pay her debt and best of all the oil didn't run out.
The miracle of the continuous pouring of the oil exist only in the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. He empowers us to carry out God's will and purpose for our lives. When we place our faith and trust in God, and obey His commands, we are able to accomplish extraordinary feats that we never could imagine accomplishing without Him.
As the Prophet Elisha asked the widow, I ask you, "What do you have in your house?" By sharing the Gospel message the oil is still being poured out from us to other vessels who are in need of a miracle.
Blessing to you my friends!
Can You Handle Small Things?


We've been reading the story of Jane Manning from a series in The Friend magazine. I've been so inspired by her faith as she walked 800 miles to Nauvoo, Il through snow and ice and cracked and bleeding feet. Yet through it all she was exceedingly upbeat and optimistic.
I thought of how I would have reacted-- how I have reacted-- to the trials that beset me. When the baby whines, a frustrated sigh, when he gets up too early from his nap, a grumble and complaint.
But Jane did the exact opposite. She faced her trials singing, rejoicing, thanking God for the miracles that allowed them to keep moving forward. It appears that what Jane had was gratitude, a positive attitude. But how could one have the strength to look on the bright side when they were met with opposition at every turn?
What Jane had was more than gratitude, it was faith. Faith, hope in a Savior who's Kingdom is not of this world. It's the kind of faith I want to have, the kind of faith our children must have as it becomes harder and harder to choose to be different in this world.
Faith is a principle of the Gospel that we hold dear and feel joy as we teach it to our children. But what does it look like lived in your life? Am I saying no to the complaints that enter my mind, and instead leaving room for the light of faith to fill me? And if I'm not, how can the generations that follow after us ever have an example to follow?
It says in Mosiah that if we believe such things to "see that ye do them." Inspired by the faith of Jane Manning, I'm going to try a little harder to "see that I do" have faith in word and deed.

Die Shortridge-Vielzitzenmaus (Mastomys shortridgei) ist ein Nagetier in der Unterfamilie der Altweltmäuse, das im Südwesten Afrikas vorkommt.

Merkmale
Mit einer Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 103 bis 137 mm, einer Schwanzlänge von 86 bis 118 mm und einem Gewicht von 35 bis 74 g ist die Art eine mittelgroße Langschwanzmaus. Sie hat 23 bis 27 mm lange Hinterfüße sowie 17 bis 20 mm lange Ohren. Die Oberseite ist mit dunkelgrauen bis schwarzen Fell bedeckt, während auf der Unterseite etwas helleres graues Fell vorkommt. Als Kontrast sind die Haare auf der Oberseite von Händen und Füßen weiß. Der Schwanz ist unterseits nicht heller. Der aufbewahrte Holotyp der Art war ein Weibchen mit fünf Paar Zitzen. In verschiedenen Abhandlungen werden jedoch acht Paar Zitzen für die Shortridge-Vielzitzenmaus angegeben. Die Art kann mit der Natal-Vielzitzenmaus (Mastomys natalensis) verwechselt werden. Bei Letzterer besitzen Weibchen dagegen zwölf Paar Zitzen und der Schwanz ist im Verhältnis länger.

Bezüglich der Chromosomenzahl gleicht die Art der Südlichen Vielzitzenmaus (Mastomys coucha), die jedoch ausgewachsen ein rotbraunes Fell besitzt.

Verbreitung
Das Verbreitungsgebiet liegt im Bereich der Mündung des Flusses Cuito (Kvito) in den Okavango. Es reicht vom Süden Angolas über Nordost-Namibia bis in den Norden Botswanas. Laut manchen Quellen gibt es auch Funde aus dem Osten Angolas. Die Shortridge-Vielzitzenmaus hält sich in Sümpfen oder in Regionen, die nur zeitweise überschwemmt werden, entlang der genannten Flüsse auf. Das Gebiet liegt im Flachland bis 400 Meter Höhe. Der Bewuchs besteht vorwiegend aus Röhricht oder Gras.

Lebensweise
Die Art ist nachtaktiv und bodenbewohnend. Sie frisst Körner und möglicherweise auch Kleintiere. Im Februar konnte ein Jungtier registriert werden. Erwachsene Weibchen zeigten im April und Mai kein Fortpflanzungsverhalten.

Gefährdung
Für die Shortridge-Vielzitzenmaus liegen keine Bedrohungen vor. Die IUCN listet die Art als nicht gefährdet (Least Concern).

Turk brothers in court last week
J. Turk
Dylan Turk
The Turk brothers, J'Son and Dylan Turk went before 26th Judicial District Judge Parker Self on charges in addition to those related to the murder of Omar Lott.
According to court records, Dylan Turk waived formal arraignment and pled not guilty to charges of simple escape, resisting an officer with force or violence, battery of a police officer, simple criminal damage to property and disturbing the peace.
The charge related to the August 2014 death of Lott, accessory after the fact (first degree murder), was passed to June 1 at the request of the defense.
Status conference is set for June 1, with trial set for June 15.
The court date for J'Son Turk, charged with first-degree murder, was passed at the request of the defense to July 27.
Assistant District Attorney Hugo Holland says Dylan Turk gave a sworn statement against his brother, and J'Son Turk will be tried alone. But, he says, Dylan Turk has new charges that must be dealt with.
"Dylan bonded out after a period of time in jail," he said. "While Dylan was out, he 'allegedly' committed the other offenses for which he was charged last week. Based on the new charges, the state, of course, wanted him back in jail."
At the time of his arrest, Sunday, April 5, Minden Police Chief Steve Cropper says officers were dispatched to Minden Medical Center where he was allegedly causing a disturbance. Once officers got him back to the Minden Police Station, Cropper says Turk began tearing up the bed in one of the holding cells.
"Officers went in to try to get him under control, and he tried to get out the door," Cropper said at the time.
He also allegedly bit one of the officers, breaking the skin.
Dylan Turk's attorney, Eric Johnson, says he hopes to have it all resolved by June 1.
"This gives me time to go over the discovery," he said.
He went on to say discovery is for the new charges he acquired while out on bail for the accessory after the fact charges.
When asked if Dylan Turk had been offered a plea deal, his response was "yes and no."
"He had an offer on the accessory after the fact charge that Mr. Holland offered; however, we now have to deal with these new charges," he said. "I hope to have everything resolved for Mr. Turk by the June 1 court date."
Lott was shot and killed August 24, 2014, and the Turk brothers were arrested along with Murphy Robertson. Robertson, which has since been cleared of all charges.
Officials with the district attorney's office say Robertson was not charged for anything related to Lott's death.
Lott's remains were recovered in a wooded area off Walter Lyons Road three days after the shooting. Webster Parish Sheriff Gary Sexton said at the time, Lott was shot during a drug deal involving synthetic marijuana.


Mr Azevedo' s caution on the single currency is in line with what Ms Christine Lagarde, the IMF managing director said in January 2017, when she was on a three-day visit to Uganda.
Kampala. East African Community (EAC) countries have been told to go slow on the push to have a single currency for the region if they cannot fix the basics of trading in the region.
In an interview with Daily Monitor, Mr Miguel Azevedo, the head of investment Banking for Africa at Citigroup, said the countries should focus on issues that boost East Africa as a trading bloc because a single currency may be hard to attain.
"What is doable and can create meaningful impact in the short term is creating a single market and I think it is getting there but governments need to be convinced that it is the way forward," he added.
In 2013, the EAC countries agreed on a timeline of about 10 years to have achieved a common currency.
However, because the structures of the economies around the region differ, a common currency model has been noted to be risky. Mr Azevedo's comments come with an understanding that for the EAC to be transformative, trade barriers and free movement of labour can help boost the region, especially the private sector to thrive.
He notes that the focus on developing infrastructure within the region by Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan will somewhat drive the growth the region needs. "You must create the conditions for people to have jobs. If anything is a priority here, it is infrastructure because with the infrastructure you can move goods and people around. Having a plant in Kampala is not less competitive than having a plant in Mombasa. The plant in Kampala can supply the whole EAC market," he added.
He further points out that for investors – outside Africa – looking for companies where they can place some equity, the preference is for those that have an outlook towards the region because it is a much larger market.
"Companies are focusing more on businesses that have a regional outlook to investment. This is because the EAC is a much larger market. I think the perspective of people from the outside; people like to see East Africa as a region. It is very different if you talk about a population of 150 million consumers versus 35 million consumers. These are different countries but businesswise, I think people will look at regional opportunities other than country opportunities," he added.
A recent report presented to the EAC Council of Ministers indicated that the region still had high levels of Non-Tariff Barriers that were restricting the free movement of goods and labour. This is considered a constraint in developing the EAC into a single market.
"Coming from the European Union and a country that is part of the Eurozone, I would certainly stress that making haste slowly is probably the best way to go and consolidate one step at a time, to make sure that the steps you have taken are actually solid, sustainable and will take you to the next level," Ms Lagarde said at the time.

Make a DIY wooden stove top cover and add more counter space to your kitchen!
Hey, all! It's Shara here from Woodshop Diaries and I'm excited to be back on The House of Wood sharing one of my latest projects, a DIY wooden stove top cover!
First, measure your stove. MOST stoves (not all) are standard width, but they can sometimes vary in depth, especially if it's got controls on the back like mine. Make sure to make your interior dimensions of your cover big enough to fit over your stove.
Also, FYI, I used pine for this and I stained it since I wasn't planning to use it as a cutting board – it's just decorative. However, if you plan to use it for food prep, be sure to finish in something food safe (not stain) and it's best to use a hardwood like maple or walnut.
Apply glue in the grooves of the boards and clamp together as shown. Allow the glue to fully dry.
Once the glue is fully dry, remove the clamps and use a table saw or a circular saw and straight edge to trim down all sides to your desired opening size. Make sure to trim to trim all sides smooth (so no tongues or grooves are showing).
Then, cut pieces of 1×4 tongue and groove to trim out around the edges of this piece. Miter the corners 45 degrees for a more seamless look. Cut to fit these pieces around the edges for a tight fit and clean joints. Once you've got them cut to size, trim off the tongues using a table saw.
Glue and nail these pieces into place like shown (ignore the ugly corner joint here, I was just holding in place for a picture) making sure the smooth sides (not the grooves) face upward.
Allow glue to dry completely, then sand all the joints and corners smooth.
At this point, you could stain or finish (don't stain if preparing food on) if desired. But I added a juice groove for added effect. It's mostly decorative to make it look like a real cutting board, BUT could also come in handy if you spilled something on it. A juice groove is just like a little groove you cut along the edges to catch any liquids or spills from your cutting board.
To do this, I screwed some scraps together around the cover. Don't screw directly to the cover, but screw the boards together TIGHTLY around the cover like shown.
This will be used as a routing guide.
Insert a juice groove router bit into your router and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY run your router along the outside edge. Keep it pressed against the lip of the boxed edge all the way around.
Unscrew the scrap wood and sand the groove once complete.
Finish as desired. I stained mine and finished with a water-based clear coat. However, if using to prepare food, be sure to use a food safe finish (not stain), something like a mineral oil or butcher block oil. If using as a cutting board, it's best to use a hardwood as well.
It's great for adding a little extra counter space when you aren't using your stove. You could also flip it over to use as a wooden serving tray if you wanted.
Shara is a math nerd with a passion for DIYing, woodworking and furniture building. She works in a factory by day and in her woodshop by night. She lives in Kentucky with her husband, dog (Lucy Lou), and three cats. Shara started woodworking about three years ago and enjoyed it so much, she wanted to share her tutorials and experiences with others, so she started her own blog, Woodshop Diaries. When she isn't working, building, or blogging, you can find her daydreaming of her next project or watching reruns of The Office.
Would this be safe for a gas stove top (no oven)…??

Stunning Victory for Indigenous Nations as Canada Halts Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
Aug. 30, 2018 12:22PM EST Energy

A Canadian court "quashed" approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion on Thursday, a major setback for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose government agreed to purchase the controversial project from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion Canadian dollars (U.S. $3.5 billion) in May.
It's a stunning victory for Indigenous groups and environmentalists opposed to the project, which is designed to nearly triple the amount of tar sands transported from Alberta to the coast of British Columbia.
The Federal Court of Appeal ruled that the National Energy Board's review—as explained by the Canadian Press—"was so flawed that the federal government could not rely on it as a basis for its decision to approve the expansion."
The project has been at the center of widespread protests from environmental groups and First Nations ever since November 2016, when Trudeau approved a $7.4 billion expansion of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline that would increase the transport of Alberta tar sands oil from the current 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day and increase tanker traffic nearly seven-fold through the Burrard Inlet.
Specifically, the court said it was an "unjustifiable failure" that the National Energy Board did not consider the environmental impacts of the increased tanker traffic.
The court additionally concluded that the government "fell well short" with properly consulting with the Indigenous groups involved in the case, including the Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish on British Columbia's south coast.
The ruling will force the National Energy Board to redo its review of the pipeline and the government to restart consultations with the Indigenous groups. It also means that the construction that has already began in central Alberta must cease.
In effect, the court has halted the 1,150-kilometer project indefinitely and it will remain in "legal limbo until the energy regulator and the government reassess their approvals to satisfy the court's demands," CBC wrote about today's decision.
Notably, the decision was made the same day Kinder Morgan's shareholders voted to approve the $4.5 billion sale to Canada, which means the country owns a proposed pipeline project that could be subject to years of further review, the publication pointed out.
The court's judgment could be appealed a final time to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Minister of Finance Bill Morneau said that the government has received the ruling and will review the decision.

Verse 29. - So we boiled my son (setup. Lamentations 4:10, "The hands of the pitiful woman have sodden their own children"), and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son. Some have supposed that the woman concealed her child in order to consume it alone; but it is more probable that, when the time came for carrying out her agreement, she found that she could not give it up, and hid it in order to save it.


The 16th Annual Preaching in Action Conference was held on May 22 – May 27, 2018, at Caldwell University in Caldwell, New Jersey.
Students from Dominican colleges/universities and college campuses with a Dominican presence, throughout the United States, were invited to participate in the conference. Almost one hundred students gathered for the event this year.
The students were immersed in the Dominican tradition of preaching. Through presentation, dynamic workshops, peer-to-peer sharing, etc. they learned that they too are preachers in their own unique ways.
At the end of the conference, students were challenged with the creation of an action plan for the upcoming school year. This plan is the vehicle for sharing what they have learned at the conference to their college campuses. With the Dominican Charism firmly planted in mind, body, and spirit – the "Holy Preaching" continues!

Q: useContext is in a render loop once a context function is called by one of its children Everytime i call the function on one of the useContext children to update the state of a variable it endlessly loops crashing react.

View Full Version : Ubisoft service not available?
Beginning last night I am unable to launch R6S due to not being able to login to Uplay. It brings up a box stating A Ubisoft service is not available.
Is this happening to anyone else? or is there something wrong with my setup?
Nope, you're not alone in this issue, I purchased the game two days ago and unable to login on uplay.

Q: Probability distribution in GAN Here is the general eauation of GAN. I have a problem regarding probability distribution of x and z.
$$\min_G \max_D V(D,G) = \mathbb{E}_{x\sim p_{data}(x)}[\log D(x)]+ \mathbb{E}_{z\sim p_{z}(z)}[\log (1- D(G(z)))]$$
Comparing above and below image we have -
$E_{x\sim p_{data}(x)}[\log(D(X))] = \frac1m\sum [\log(D(x_i)]$ which by definition of expectation should be $\sum (p_{data}(x_i)\cdot[\log(D(x_i)]$ where $(p_{data}(x_i))$ is the pdf value at $x_i$ which means $(p_{data}(x_i))$ is taken as $\frac1m$ for all $i$ is taken into account.
I am unable to understand why is this pdf value at $x_i$ is taken as $\frac1m$. Since we do not know the distribution of $p_{data}(x)$ so our best deal is to approximate it but why are we approximating it with $\frac1m$. Aren't distributions like gaussian distribution more appropriate for approximation. Similarly for $p_z(z)$.

Exclusive: Skills Minister hints at scrapping cash contributions plan
Freddie Whittaker
Thu 2nd Oct 2014, 23.59
Plans to introduce mandatory employer cash contributions for apprenticeships could be scrapped, Skills Minister Nick Boles has indicated.
In his first interview with FE Week since his appointment in July, Mr Boles said that while routing funding through employers was "non-negotiable," he hinted that the cash contribution element of the proposals might not be introduced if it risked putting employers off hiring apprentices.
The government has already revealed it wanted employers to pay one third of training and assessment costs with taxpayers fronting the rest through a direct grant to employers. Currently providers are paid directly by the government.
Mr Boles said: "We are not going to be rushing into anything and we are not going to be introducing any reforms that are off-putting to employers who currently don't provide apprenticeships, let alone people who already do.
"I am very aware that one of the things that could be off-putting is an onerous financial burden, and another thing which could be off-putting is a very complicated administrative process. We are studying the consultation responses very closely.
"My own view is that obsessing about a particular cash commitment is slightly missing the point. What matters is that the apprenticeship standard is a standard which is demanding and developed by employers and that the assessment at the end is very vigorous.
We're not going to do anything which imposes either financial or administrative burdens which puts people
off providing apprenticeships.
"There is an absolute total commitment to transferring funding to employers, that's non-negotiable, but the precise modalities of it we will take our time to think about and we're not going to do anything which imposes either financial or administrative burdens which puts people off providing apprenticeships."
It comes after Prime Minister David Cameron tasked Mr Boles with creating 1m more apprenticeships in the next Parliament, taking the total to 3m by 2020.
Among those to have warned that the introduction of cash contributions could hit apprenticeship uptake are the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP). And even the National Audit Office (NAO) has said the number of 16 to 18 apprenticeship starts could fall if employers were made to pay.
Mr Boles also warned the next cuts round could be "tough" for colleges, but said FE was valued by the Prime Minister and that he would fight for providers as long as they were offering good quality qualifications.
He said: "All I can tell them is that the Prime Minister would not have put the expansion of apprenticeships at the heart of his last party conference before the general election if he didn't passionately believe in the importance of further education and the transfer of technical skills to young people so they can get jobs.
"I were running a college right now, I would be trying to think about the absolute maximum that I could expand my apprenticeships activity. The more colleges gear up to be able to do that, the more likely it is they will find they can secure a relatively consistent source of revenue.
"However, there will be a tough cuts round. I can't guarantee I'll be Skills Minister next May, let alone what deal I'll negotiate on behalf of colleges.
"Of course I will fight for them, but I will fight for them to do things that are worthwhile."
Mr Boles also defended the government's traineeship programme as a "strong idea," but accepted it needed to grow in its second year.
He said: "We now need to up the pace and also to start subjecting it to some of the same fairly stringent tests we would normally apply around whether it is actually delivering the starts in apprenticeships and the starts in jobs.
"I think in what will be the second full year of provision, I hope we can get numbers up and I hope we can expand the number of institutions able to offer it, and I hope we can start measuring the data."
He indicated that he shared predecessor Matthew Hancock's dim view of qualifications of seemingly low-value, and also his rhetoric when it comes to what Mr Hancock has previously derided as "Mickey Mouse qualifications".
He said: "If you're 16 or 18 and we're trying to prepare you for that first step and maybe you don't have a glittering array of GCSEs and A-levels, I think we have a serious moral responsibility of making sure you do something which has a demonstrated record of getting people into jobs."
But Mr Boles didn't seem as concerned as Mr Hancock about college mergers, saying he would not oppose mergers and federations in principle, but would intervene if concerns were raised by FE Commissioner David Collins.
He said: "I am enthusiastic about the principle of colleges exploring all different options to make themselves stronger in a tough financial environment.
"I don't have a preference or concern about any route in theory, it just has to be sensible in practice in each individual instance.
"I don't want to constrain college boards and leadership, but equally I will take advice from the FE Commissioner when he thinks there is a proposal coming forward which he doesn't think has been thought through."
Throughout the interview, Mr Boles demonstrated he was a quick learner and already knew a lot about FE, but he admitted to struggling with a certain sector penchant.
"What is it with the FE sector and all of these acronyms?" he said. "To an outsider it's incredibly off-putting."
Gail Dalton-Ayres
Whilst I welcome the suggestion that the new skills minister is 'looking closely' at the very real concerns providers and employers have voiced around apprenticeship reforms and the mandatory cash contribution, I hope he goes further back and reviews the comments from the July 13 consultation as well as the 'recent' March 14 one.
As he is new to the job and not been involved throughout this debate, one may excuse his comment 'My own view is that obsessing about a particular cash commitment is slightly missing the point.'
Wakey wakey Nick this is the point and a very real one for the thousands of small businesses' who have expressed their views on this alongside the burden of administration, working with government ICT systems which crash time after time (The Hub LOL). Lets see how it copes processing thousands & thousands of employer payments as appose to hundreds of existing FE provider claims.
I must say though, he seems to be a bit more realistic than the last minister Matthew Hancock who I'm glad has moved on, as his approach was totally wrong! (My way or the highway)


Our building is a charming typical 15th century Madrilenian household which been newly renovated to offer our guests every comfort.
By Metro: The cheapest and fastest option.
Take line 8 (pink) to Nuevos Ministerios and from here transfer to line 10 (dark blue) to the Tribunal stop.
The metro ticket, including the airport supplement, will cost you 5 €, and take aprox. 30 minutes.
Exit the metro (c/ Fuencarral) and walk down Calle La Palma (right across from the metro exit), and turn left at our street, Costanilla de San Vicente. We are located on the left hand side of the street.
By Bus: There is an Express bus line every 13-20 minutes that will drop you off at Atocha or Cibeles station. It will cost you 5 € and takes aprox. 40 minutes. To get to the hostel see the instructions From Atocha Train station below. This bus runs 24/7 and is a good option for planes that arrive or depart when the metro is closed, like those untimely Ryan Air flights.
By Taxi: It will take between 20-30 minutes depending on traffic, and will cost around 30€, slightly more expensive during the night.
Take the metro line 1 (light blue) in the Pinar de Chamartin direction, get off at Tribunal station. Exit the metro (c/ Fuencarral) and walk down Calle La Palma (right across from the metro exit), and turn left at our street, Costanilla de San Vicente.
