Even those who know a great deal about the Easter Rising may not know that there were temporary ceasefires in the St Stephen's Green area, to allow the park attendants to feed the Green's ducks. Few know that the first shots of the rising were actually fired near Portlaoise and not in Dublin or indeed that both sides issued receipts: the rebels for food, the British for handcuffs. It features excerpts from a previously unpublished diary written by a member of the Jacob's garrison; the story of how rebel communications (being sent in a tin can from rooftop to rooftop) were interrupted by a British crackshot sniper and many other remarkable facts. 50 Things you didn't know about 1916 is a treasure trove of trivia and information that will appeal to the avid student of 1916 as well as the casual reader.

This report highlights four main areas of ongoing concern relating to debt management: regulation of consumer debt, payday loans, debt management companies and the Money Advice Service. It makes a number of recommendations for future Government action including reforms for higher licensing fees to be charged for higher-risk credit businesses, for a fast track procedure be put in place to suspend credit licenses, and for the new regulator be given the power to ban harmful products. The Financial Services Bill did little to clarify the way in which the consumer credit market is to be regulated. The Committee also wants be certain that the payday loan industry adheres to the highest standards - either through the codes of practice that are currently being developed or, failing that, by the new regulator. Regulations also need to be introduced to ensure that debt management companies publish the cost of their debt advice and their outcomes, if an agreement cannot be reached during discussions with the industry. Furthermore, effective auditing of debt management companies' client accounts needs to be established. The Money Advice Service needs to provide details of its business plan. Given that the legal aid budget for such services is being cut by 75% the Minister's assertion that there will be no diminution of face-to-face debt advice is confusing. The Money Advice Service will be up and running by April and yet its remit, and in particular its relationship with highly respected brands such as Citizens Advice, remains unclear

Written by Virginia Grohl, the mother of Dave Grohl—former Nirvana drummer and current frontman for the Foo Fighters—From Cradle to Stage shares stories and exclusive photos featuring mothers of rock icons, the icons themselves, and their Behind the Music-style relationships While the Grohl family had always been musical-the family sang together on long car trips, harmonizing to Motown and David Bowie-Virginia never expected her son to become a musician, let alone a rock star. But when she saw him perform in front of thousands of screaming fans for the first time, she knew that rock stardom was meant to be for her son. And as Virginia watched her son's star rise, she often wondered about the other mothers who raised sons and daughters who became rock stars. Were they as surprised as she was about their children's fame? Did they worry about their children's livelihood and wellbeing in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did they encourage their children's passions despite the odds against success, or attempt to dissuade them from their grandiose dreams? Do they remind their kids to pack a warm coat when they go on tour? Virginia decided to seek out other rock star mothers to ask these questions, and so began a two-year odyssey in which she interviewed such women as Verna Griffin, Dr. Dre's mother; Marianne Stipe, Michael Stipe of REM's mother; Janis Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's mother; Patsy Noah, Adam Levine's mother; Donna Haim, mother of the Haim sisters; Hester Diamond, Mike D of The Beastie Boys' mother. With exclusive family photographs and a foreword by Dave Grohl, From Cradle to Stage will appeal to mothers and rock fans everywhere.
