 Evatt Foundation: Publication: States of mind: Australia & New Zealand - 29 November 2001
After the premier of New South Wales called in 1889 for a federal convention and the premier of Victoria suggested a preliminary conference, it was therefore to be expected that representatives of all seven colonies of Australia and New Zealand should assemble in Melbourne in 1890.
New Zealand sent just three delegates to the 1891 Convention and while they participated fully in the proceedings, they were forbidden by resolution of their parliament from committing the colony to the scheme devised there.
New Zealand went further since its political institutions presented fewer restrictions than the Australian federal system, and the celebrants of its neoliberal experiments exulted once more in the conceit that New Zealand was once more the laboratory of public policy.

John Hall was born on 18 December 1824 at Hull, the third son of Captain George Hall, of Elloughton, Yorkshire, a master mariner, shipowner, and Elder Brother of Trinity House, Hull; and of Grace, née Williams.
Thus until John Hall was 10 years of age he attended school in Hull and, from then until he was 16, was educated at schools in Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Hall acquired a large canoe to ferry his stock and goods across the Rakaia but the first crossing proved so difficult that he abandoned this scheme, and settled on the north bank, buying Stoddart's run and stock.

 Madden football. By Chris Suellentrop
Not John Madden: The coach with the highest winning percentage in NFL history and the broadcaster who's been the top analyst on three networks still hasn't been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
To a new generation of football players, landing on the cover of the latest version of the game is a career-defining experience, the way an enormous shoe contract, or the Wheaties box, or the cover of Sports Illustrated once determined which sports stars had hit the big time.
As an announcer, John Madden is of no real value to the game, except as kitsch, but John Madden the football popularizer and one-man quality-control team is the perfect incarnation of his video namesake.

Smoke-filled bars and loud, honking soul music are second nature to Rick Bryant, who prepares to roar it up again at the 20th-anniversary concert of his band, the Jive Bombers.
