Go For It Interview with HCR as May supports STEM

Uploading Ann's book launch pictures and audio recording; Luana and I are interviewed at HCR; May supports high tech business and STEM.

Uploaded the private photo album of Ann's Saturday book launch after editing. I also the edited and trimmed my public recording of her interview on Audacity, then made it live on the Internet Archive - you can hear it here: https://archive.org/details/AnnPetreTheFamilyThatFlew.

Luana called today to chat about our forthcoming interview at Huntingdon Community Radio this evening. We were going to talk about HBN and our book, Go For It. Using Skype and its screensharing, we hammered out a working document as a guide. J declined the opportunity of several hours travel and waiting, so I drove up alone to arrive in Huntingdon just before 7 pm, in time for the interview with the Monday 'Over to You' show's host, Scott Phebe. Scott himself ran several businesses, in addition to his accountancy. My memory of the half hour interview by him with Luana was more of a lively conversation, interspersed by Annie Lennox's 'No More I Love Yous' (my choice) and ending with a track by some band or other called AC:DC (Luana;s choice).

PM May announced  plans to boost STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) skills, digital skills and numeracy (Close to my STEM Ambassador heart!) and invest £170m in creating new institutes of technology. President Trump continues turning the clock back by signing executive order to pull out of the TTP (Trans-Pacific Partnership).
