How to figure out which program is the best for your online money making strategies?
AdSense is a program run by Google, the big search engine. It's the main way how Google makes money actually and then helps you install those little texts as you see all over web sites across the internet. Ads are reviewed to ensure they're high quality and relevant to your content or audience, even when viewed on smartphones and tablets.
Affiliate marketing is a little more customized. You can pick products that you like and then essentially recommend them to your audience, specifically targeting their needs and interests of your business. In that case, you get paid on what you call a CPA basis,cost per action. This means that a person has not to just click on the Ad but has to go through and complete an action which could be giving an email address, to create a lead for the advertiser or maybe actually going all the way through to making a purchase. The bounties on these are a lot higher than on the pay-per-click ads that you might get from AdSense and you can get affiliate commissions from few dollars to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per action per sale from an affiliate marketing transaction.
So what would you do with this information if you want to monetize your blog?
Here's the bottom line – both have their pros and cons.
Google AdSense
AdSense is really easy to employ which is one of the best things. It's a fairly simple tool, you can sign up for a free Google AdSense account using your email address. It's free. You could take a little bit HTML code and put on your site and ads will automatically pop on up on your site. You don't have to do anything in terms of sales or negotiating back and forth, proving what kind of traffic you have to advertisers, writing out insertion orders, tracking traffic or trying to collect money they owe you. AdSense ads are very fast to implement and also has lots of varied inventory and that makes it interesting for visitors.
Now there are a lot of cons about AdSense as well. These ads don't pay you very well, maybe a nickel or a dollar. You might even face a drop in your AdSense earnings after making your site responsive. AdSense ads don't really give much chance to engage with your site or your brand or your other products or services. So it's a link away from your site and also implies less editorial control because those ads they show could be from anybody, it could be from your competitors.
Affiliate marketing
In affiliate marketing, you pick a specific product and you go out and endorse it basically. You can just add your ads the same way you do with Google ads and hope somebody clicks but the real opportunity with affiliate marketing is you can actually build a business. You have a lot of editorial control different than the pay-per-click stuff that's automatically generated. You go out and you research some at some ads from companies you really like products and services that you really enjoy.
The other thing you can do with affiliate marketing is you can develop an expertise in a certain area and that can actually create an SEO value to your site as well because you're creating recurring content around the same topic in the same fashion.
Affiliate ads take more investment, time and research than the pay per click ads do. You must spend time writing promotional material, generating e-mailing lists and seeking out new products to sell. You also have to be careful with disclosures in affiliate marketing. This started a couple of years ago at least in the United States, the federal trade commission started to mandate that all affiliate ads should be disclosed so that people know what you are recommending.
So we have a quantity versus quality balance. If you have a high traffic site, it's important to mix up the ads so that users see new things all the time. There is a term in the industry called Ad blindness which means if the same affiliate ad sits month after month, people are less likely to click on the ad. If you use pay per click ads that are reloaded with new ads every time from AdSense, people are more likely to click on them. So basically your choice depends on your audience, a mix of both affiliate and AdSense ads can be good.

Reduce your Pure Gym membership by 'upgrading'
Found 17th Oct 2014
I've been paying £18.99 at Pure Gym Bristol. After logging into my account it gives me the option to 'upgrade' my membership to single club access only for £15.99. This is no different to what I have now, so an instant saving of £3 per month. Worth checking if you're paying more than £15.99

Now the A-Z tour is finished how did you think it went? Did you enjoy playing the more obscure and smaller venues?
the a-z tour was amazing although i think i'm still recovering from it! it was renamed the a-dead tour by the support band, but they had it much harder than we did, being in a transit van for 6 weeks. we had a blast tho; it was our first big tour for a few years so it was nice to get back on stage and the reaction to the new material was great. it was great for the band to do things in a radically different way; thats what the whole A-Z experience is all about.
How did you feel the audience reacted - was it as you expected?
coming from belfast we understand the small town mentality to the rock show. the audience was always really hyped up just to have a band come to them rather than the other way round. i think there was a mixture of hardcore fans and locals coming to check out the big event in town. the new material went down really well which was great for us. it kinda confirms you're onto something when the crowd can sing the chorus of a song they haven't heard before by the last chorus.
Whats the craziest thing you did on tour?
there were a few crazy aftershows; the ones that really stand out were east grange, loughborough, newport, plymouth and swansea. the crazy award has to go to steve toner, tech for panama kings, who proved alcohol and diabetes can mix, although not without consequences. who else would sleep in a bin on a day off. seriously.
What is the meaning of life?
to sleep in a bin on a day off before you die. according to steve.
If you guys got offered a lot of money would you play at someones wedding and if so how much?
possibly; but you name the price and then maybe we can start negotiations. at the very least you'll hear me laugh. if i don't, then you might just be in the right ballpark...
How often did you guys practice every week before you had released Trailer? Roughly?
not enough, judging by the number of takes we did on some songs. i can't remember exactly how many, but i'm pretty sure we were somewhere in the 40s on petrol. note to all young bands; don't try to get tight when you get to the studio, do it before. its much cheaper.
Can we expect any Christmas surprises at Darlington?!
a) if i tell you it won't be much of a surprise, will it?
b) you can expect away; that doesn't mean there will be one
c) i'm not mystic meg; i can't predict what will happen
d) i'm beginning to annoy myself. i'll shut up now.

They really shouldn't be treated the same. That's why I've
written a booklet called 50 Tips to Make You A Great Radio Guest and
a similar piece for TV. Now I am compiling interview tips for working
with print and online journalists (which in many cases can be the
same thing). This will be the first of three articles, so stay tuned
for the others over the next two weeks.
Here are the first five tips:
Be Responsive - In TV and radio, interview times are pre-arranged. However, print and online journalists typically have daily and weekly deadlines. When they call you, they need you right then! In many cases, journalists will reach out to several experts on a news item and then choose the one who is the better interview or whoever responded quickest (or a combination of the two). The more reliably you respond, the more likely they will call on you again.
It's Not About You - Most journalists are not interested in you, but rather the expert commentary you can provide. The more you use the words "I" and "my" the less likely they will use you as a source. When speaking to a reporter, keep in mind you are speaking to their audience, so keep your remarks centered on what their audience cares about and you'll be quoted early and often.
Read Before You Talk - If you get a call from a publication, take five minutes to go online and read a few of their stories. Look for their tone and approach, so your tone and approach will match. Also look for articles they wrote on your topic, so you can avoid duplicating what someone else said. Finally, read articles written by the journalist you'll be speaking with. There is no better way to prepare for a print or online interview than to read the writings of the reporter interviewing you. You can discover his or her focus, audience and philosophy. The reporter can tell if you've read his or her articles through your comments and will respect you for having made the effort to prepare for them.
Don't Empty Your Notebook - Beat reporters - journalists who cover a particular topic or industry - tend to be experts in that field from their time covering it for their respective publications. They don't need, nor do they want, your soup-to-nuts take on that topic. They need only a few quotes and opinions to round out their stories. Answer direct questions with direct answers, and get to the point quickly. There's no need to tell the reporter everything you know, emptying your notebook of all your collected knowledge, in order to have a good interview. Allowing an interview to devolve into you talking about your total philosophy on a particular topic or business will result in your interview landing in the discard pile, and the reporter will likely seek a comment from your competitor instead.
Be Professional - Reporters don't call you to talk about the weather, last night's TV, your kids, etc. You'd be surprised how many times I've come across people who think a little friendly chit chat can "grease the wheels." If they engage you, that's one thing. It's entirely another if you waste their time with unwanted "schmoozing." Most have deadlines to meet and their time is valuable. Many outlets are working with significantly smaller writing staff than a year ago. Respect their time and they'll respect you.
There's more to a good print interview
and in the next two weeks I will share more tips. If you follow this
advice, you'll discover your interviewers will respond better to you,
use more of the interview in their actual articles and maybe even
call you back for more quotes when they work on other stories. At the
end of the day, these tips will help you be prepared so that when
your name is mentioned in the media, readers will know they are
getting advice from someone who truly knows what he or she is talking
Hope this information is helpful and if you want professional assistance with your PR campaign, please call or email us right away. My partner, Steve Friedman, and I, along with our staff of PR professionals, have been promoting authors for over 20 years and we can help you.
Plus, I think you'll be interested to learn that our fees are performance-based, which simply means that if you pay us to book you on 15 radio interviews in top 100 markets, you get booked on 15 radio interviews in top 100 markets. We have similar fee structures for booking you as a guest on TV and for obtaining editorial coverage in newspapers and magazines. Media is guaranteed with our firm, which is very different from how traditional retainer-based PR firms operate.
Feel free to explore the possibilities with Steve; he can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call him directly at 727-443-7115, ext. 208. We'd love to hear from you!

Driving in the desert on the outskirts of Doha yesterday, these two very friendly Qatari kids stop me and ask if they can help me at all. I said, "Nah, I'm just driving around." They asked if I wanted to see some birds. This sounded good. "Sure!" I said. So, I got into their little 4x4 and off we went. They took me to this little 'oasis' type place just up a dirt trail. They did not lie. The place was teeming with birds. I don't know what kind of birds they were exactly, but there were a lot of them. Ducks I recognized. They were the first I had seen in Qatar. Overhead, giant falcons cruised the skies looking down for food. A giant crane like bird lifted off from the tall reeds that ringed the water. Dragonflies darted around. The water was perfectly still. It was a green, watery paradise surrounded by miles of sand..
The one kid said something interesting to me. I said we had no deserts in Canada. He said "To us, if there is no desert, there is no life." To many, the desert is the opposite: void of life, a harsh place, brutal place. I remember being taught the difference between the spelling of 'desert' and 'dessert' in this way: 'dessert' has two s's because you want more, 'desert' has one s, because you want less. Deserts are graveyards, hot and dry, inhospitable. In movies and cartoons, the desert swallows up poor, delirious people who end up lost with no water, dragging their weakening tattered bodies as they hallucinate and see mirages.
Turns out that the desert isn't a wasteland. It can be a harsh place, but it is still filled with life. Where ever a bit of water can be found, a spot of shade can be seen, a small hole can be dug, and other food can be caught, there is life in the desert. Plants and animals have adapted, figuring out ways to survive and thrive, just as this kid knew how to use the desert for his benefit. He told me about hunting hares and birds. He would point out the birds that were particularly delicious as they flew off. As it turns out, he owns and trains falcons in the north of the peninsula. Falcons have been used for generations to hunt. He knows where to find animals, food, water. The desert sustains him and his family. It has kept his lineage alive for decades...even centuries.
This was an important meeting for me, personally. One can easily look at Doha and see a very shallow place. Big glassy buildings are going up everywhere. SUV's rule the roads. Money is in obvious abundance. It seems as though there is no traditional culture whatsoever. But, as it turns out, that isn't the case. The land is still important. Traditions are still very much alive. The desert still means life to many Qataris. I saw a different side to this country, and this culture...this complex culture, where things are never what they seem to be, and just when I think I have things figured out, I discover that I don't.

Fascinating, Chris! Did you get any photos? I love following your Doha experience.ReplyDelete
Also, if you've not already seen it, you should see the Planet Earth 'Desert' episode.
Ya, actually, I did get some pictures. I have to get them off of my camera. I'll post them when I get a chance...:) Glad you like to hear about Doha. If you are ever in the neighbourhood, be sure to stop in!!!!ReplyDelete
You know, I keep hearing so many good things about Planet Earth. I'll have to track it down!

In most families, the pile of old booklets found in a dresser drawer probably would have landed in the trash.
But Helen Hall, sorting through the drawer a few months ago, thought someone might be interested in the little collection tucked away by her late husband for more than 60 years -- mostly Baltimore Orioles programs and scorecards from the 1890s.
Mrs. Hall found she was quite right when she delivered the stash last week to curator Greg Schwalenberg at the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Orioles Museum on Emory Street. "I thought he was going to have a stroke, he was so excited," she said.


text: The appropriate language to use in an email depends on who you're sending it to. For example, if you were sending an email professionally like a business email would be formal with the correct use of spelling and grammar. But if you're sending an email to a friend the language would be very informal with the use of slang, acronyms and emoji's. "However, this really defeats the purpose of sending an email as it's known as an electronic version of sending a letter which usually consisted of the use of formal language."

If you already know which car to bid, the next trick is when the auction. This moment becomes the determinant whether you will bring home the targeted car. Meanwhile, you may also want to check out the Japanese Car Auction, if you're interested in cars from Japan.
The trick is like this at auction, if there is a car issued directly offered by people, it could be a good quality car. They have also been observed before. Better if it turns out that the roses are merchants, they do for sale again.
Even so, we reminded not to get too carried away by the atmosphere during the auction process. The atmosphere is quite hot when bargaining can be plunged, so the price obtained is not appropriate or even more expensive.
If the merchant must be stuck at a certain point. Because it's for sale again. Well, we bargain wrote a little more above them, it certainly can with little difference. Certainly, do not emotion, keep calm bidding it and also our ability to know how.

|Thrash Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Metalcore
March 29th, 2014
Release length: 47:56
Many people have cited Arising Fear to be a mixture of Groove Metal, Thrash Metal, and Heavy Metal. While these do sum up how some of their material comes off, their overall sound clearly ends up pulling those influences to a Metalcore and Melodic Death Metal foundation the likes of Unearth, Shadows Fall and even the German pioneers Caliban. All of this is established right away with "Mantic Shape" and it's Thrash heavy main verses and rougher vocals that incorporate some clean singing during the hook-fueled chorus. Anyone who lived through the early Metalcore boom of the 2000's will instantly recognize that foundation, especially during the slow breakdown just before the two minute mark, as well as the infectious Melodic Death Metal enriched bridges scattered throughout. Much of this can also be said for "Beyond the Walls of Anger" in more ways than one, but like it's predecessor its still a fun addictive track, even if it isn't too fresh or unique.
What really stands out here are the more dismal offerings. "Final Redemption" carries a slight bleakness to the music, which helps to pull away from the generally fun and upbeat atmosphere that swept over the start of the release. The mixture of darker mid-tempo Thrash Metal and Melodic Death Metal hooks and solo really just grabs your attention throughout and makes the familiar chorus more dynamic than it really is. This does carry over into "This Burden" quite nicely. The lead riffs throughout sound rather typical for the early Metalcore and even Gothenburg styles, and the blast beat that hits just before the four minute mark is nicely timed, complimenting the dismal environment the performance and spoken word audio samples set up, wrapping things in a way that lets the cleaner mournful start of "Come Alive Again" feel like the next chapter of that chunk of songs, though a bit more along the lines of Alternative Rock. It isn't a bad choice, but its nothing you wouldn't hear from the likes of Puddle of Mudd or Staind when not being whiny.
The biggest problem to be had with Beyond Betrayal is that it's basically rehashed material and formulas. The first two songs will have you making comparisons left and right if you're familiar with the Metalcore genre's early days. Both tracks even conclude with that sudden cut-off with a guitar note being held until it fades, a gimmick that's been used by nearly every band in the style at least once, let alone twice in an album back-to-back. On top of that every two or three songs seem to have the same general sound excluding "Come Alive Again" and "Deadly Embrace," which just sounds like a mixed bag of material that doesn't know whether it wants to be edgy or radio friendly. The main verses carry a mixture of Alternative Metal laced with Groove Metal and hooks with a more melodic chorus, all of which is just missing a Southern touch to make it complete. Early on there is a break to the music that gives the bass guitar the spotlight, which appears again on "Day to Overcome," but the instrument itself isn't loud enough. When listened to at a lower volume, it genuinely sounds like gap without any music. It could have been podded up a little more in the mix, but when all the instruments come together that slight twang is just noticeable enough to let you pick up on it and not seem completely absent from the sleek digital sounding audio.
There is one more negative element that needs to be touched on, and it's the cut "Thrashing Brain Surgery." This has some good ideas at work through most of the performance, but there are plenty of times where it seems like the band is trying too hard to make this come off as epic. This is thanks to things like the extensive guitar solo around six minutes in, as well as the padding about half way through to reach that seven and a half minute plus length. Had this just been cut down to a clean four and a half, maybe five minutes, this one easily could have been strong enough to have the listener coming back often. Instead some of the generic and simple bridges or passages end up leaving you checking the timer to see if it's nearly done, or fighting the urge to just skip ahead to the next song all together.
Beyond Betrayal is one of those albums that if you go into it blind and not know the group formed at the time of Metalcore's big boom, chances are you'll outright dismiss them. There's no denying this is one of the more irrelevant albums for the style today, but had it been issued no later than 2008 it would have cemented Arising Fear with the likes of Shadows Fall and As I Lay Dying. Aside a few songs that try to do too much or go a bit too mainstream, this is a flawless example of what made the early experimental period of the Metalcore, Melodic Death Metal and very brief Gothenburg genres so exciting and fresh. But, here we are in 2014, and there's just nothing that unique presented here. While Beyond Betrayal is largely familiar territory any fan of Metal in the past seven to ten years will instantly recognize and associate to other established bands in the field, there's no denying its executed exceptionally well. If you're a fan of this style it's worth checking out, though the music here is probably far more fun to experience live if the option of seeing Arising Fear perform were to arise.

January 18, 2018 all-day
A night of spellbinding music, to begin the night we have the fabulous solo bassist John Maddox playing old time Jazz and Blues tunes, in his very own unique style
Some Good old Bluegrass and Hillbilly tunes with the brilliant slick pickin Banks Brothers featuring Zane and Jy-Perry Banks.
The rich soulful vocals of Bobbie Green and Drey Rollan, melded with Drey's distinctive masterful guitar work are the creative wings of 'When Hawk Met Sparrow'. One can fly through the textural layers of love, loss and spiritual verve, within an exploration of word power and the gift of sublime transcendence music can offer.
To finish in Americana style, with the stripped back Rockabilly and Blues flare of the charismatic music of That Red Head.

Ryan Reynolds Opens Up About Taylor Swift's Fourth of July Party Photo!
Ryan Reynolds is revealing why he looked a bit somber in one of the Fourth of July photos taken at Taylor Swift's epic bash earlier this year!
The 40-year-old Deadpool actor (and new dad!) posed for the pic along with Taylor, his wife Blake Lively, and Taylor's then-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston – refresh your memory below!
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Ryan Reynolds
When asked by Entertainment Weekly if he was actually upset in the photo, Ryan replied, "No, that's a problem I've had all my life. If I'm not aware a photo is being taken, my natural resting face is one of a man dying."
"I had no idea somebody was taking a photo," he added. "Therefore I was resting comfortably in my persona of a man whose soul is visibly exiting this earth."

It's hard for some people to understand how pro athletes like Isaiah Thomas compete after the death of a loved one ... but L.A. Clippers player Raymond Felton summed it up pretty perfectly.
Felton lost his grandmother earlier this year and tells TMZ Sports he can completely relate to Thomas -- whose sister died in a tragic car crash last month.
"I understand the grief. I understand what he's feeling, what he's going through."
So, why is it so important for athletes like Raymond to get back on the court?? Love.

AGENCIES NEWDELHI, 3rd Nov: The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday refused to pass an interim order staying the linking of Aadhaar with mobile numbers and bank accounts, saying that it is leaving the issue to be decided on by a Constitution bench in the last week of November.
At the same time though, the top court chastised banks and mobile telephone companies for creating panic by sending customers messages saying their accounts will be deactivated if they don't link them to Aadhaar.
The Centre denied that such messages were being sent.
"I don't want to say in the presence of media people, but I also get (these) messages," said Justice AK Sikri, referring to the sometimes umpteen-a-day text messages threatening deactivation for not linking one's Aadhaar to one's bank account and mobile phone number.
The top court asked these institutions to avoid scaring people in this manner, while it was hearing a plea from social activists to restrain the Centre from linking Aadhaar to bank accounts and mobile phone numbers until a Constitution bench decides its validity.
Such a bench is expected to soon hear a bunch of petitions challenging the validity of Aadhaar on the ground that it violated citizens' right to privacy.
This statement from the SC came a day after the Centre told the apex court that all subscribers had to link their mobile phone numbers with Aadhaar by February 6 under E-KYC verification. The Centre also said on Thursday that showing proof of Aadhaar is mandatory for opening new bank accounts.
The Centre further said on Thursday that it was the SC that had approved the norm for mandatory Aadhaar-mobile phone linkage - with a window of one year - in the Lokniti Foundation case on February 6.
Earlier this week, while hearing a separate petition challenging the mandatory linking of mobile phones with Aadhaar, a two-judge bench of the SC had sought the government's response on the question in four weeks.
The Supreme Court further directed banks and mobile phone service providers to tell their customers the last date for linking of accounts and mobile numbers with Aadhaar.
A bench of Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan said the court had been told that banks and service providers were bombarding mobile users and account holders with messages without mentioning the deadline for the linkage.
The court said that banks and service providers will mention the last date for linking of accounts and mobile numbers with Aadhaar in their messages as it issued notice to the Centre on two petitions, by Kalyani Menon Sen and Mathews Thomas challenging the validity of Aadhaar law.
"I am also receiving messages. Let that date be given," Justice Sikri observed as Attorney General KK Venugopal told the court that there was need for passing an order as the government has itself extended the deadline for linking Aadhaar with bank accounts and mobile numbers.
Issuing notice to the Centre, the court tagged the two petitions with the main petition by the former Karnataka High Court Judge KS Puttaswamy, others by first Chairperson of National Commission for Protection of Child Rights and Magsaysay awardee Shanta Sinha, CPI leader Binoy Viswam and others challenging the validity of Aadhaar on the grounds of being violative of right to privacy and on other counts.
Refusing to pass any order as the hearing by the constitution bench in these matters would commence in the third week of November, the court however granted liberty to press for stay if hearing does not take place as ordered or continues beyond December 31.
"Government is working on putting in place a law on data protection," the Attorney General told the bench, adding that the Committee headed by Justice BN Srikrishna that has been asked to frame a draft bill for data protection is likely to submit its report by March end.

Asylum, Prison, and Poorhouse: The Writings and Reform Work of Dorothea Dix in Illinois
ISBN: 0809321637 Southern Illinois University Press. 1999
This illustrated collection of annotated newspaper articles and memorials by Dorothea Dix provides a forum for the great mid-nineteenth-century humanitarian and reformer to speak for herself.
Dorothea Lynde Dix (1802–87) was perhaps the most famous and admired woman in America for much of the nineteenth century. Beginning in the early 1840s, she launched a personal crusade to persuade the various states to provide humane care and effective treatment for the mentally ill by funding specialized hospitals for that purpose. The appalling conditions endured by most mentally ill inmates in prisons, jails, and poorhouses led her to take an active interest also in prison reform and in efforts to ameliorate poverty.
In 1846–47 Dix brought her crusade to Illinois. She presented two lengthy memorials to the legislature, the first describing conditions at the state penitentiary at Alton and the second discussing the sufferings of the insane and urging the establishment of a state hospital for their care. She also wrote a series of newspaper articles detailing conditions in the jails and poorhouses of many Illinois communities.
These long-forgotten documents, which appear in unabridged form in this book, contain a wealth of information on the living conditions of some of the most unfortunate inhabitants of Illinois. In his preface, David L. Lightner describes some of the vivid images that emerge from Dorothea Dix's descriptions of social conditions in Illinois a century and a half ago: "A helpless maniac confined throughout the bitter cold of winter to a dark and filthy pit. Prison inmates chained in hallways and cellars because no more men can be squeezed into the dank and airless cells. Aged paupers auctioned off by county officers to whoever will maintain them at the lowest cost."
Lightner provides an introduction to every document, placing each memorial and newspaper article in its proper social and historical context. He also furnishes detailed notes, making these documents readily accessible to readers a century and a half later. In his final chapter, Lightner assesses both the immediate and the continuing impact of Dix's work.
Labor on the Illinois Central Railroad, 1852-1900: The Evolution of an Industrial Environment (Dissertations in American Economic History)
ISBN: 0405099142 Ayer Co Pub. 1977 Scholarly examination of how Illinois Central management supervised railroad employees as the new industrial economy grew. The author investigates wages, hours, and working conditions of railroaders the attitude of managers towards the work force and the methods by which employers endeavored to recruit, train, discipline, and provide for the safety and welfare of their employees. The book begins with the IC recruiting labor for the construction of the Charter line, and examines the corporation's handling of labor (including accidents and compensation) during the Civil War, the development of rational practices, the rise of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Strike of 1877, the effects of the Panic of 1893, the Pullman Boycott, health care, etc. over the years. 437 pages.
Slavery and the Commerce Power: How the Struggle Against the Interstate Slave Trade Led to the Civil War
ISBN: 0300114702 Yale University Press. 2006
Despite the United States' ban on slave importation in 1808, profitable interstate slave trading continued. The nineteenth century's great cotton boom required vast human labor to bring new lands under cultivation, and many thousands of slaves were torn from their families and sold across state lines in distant markets. Shocked by the cruelty and extent of this practice, abolitionists called upon the federal government to exercise its constitutional authority over interstate commerce and outlaw the interstate selling of slaves. This groundbreaking book is the first to tell the complex story of the decades-long debate and legal battle over federal regulation of the slave trade.
David Lightner explores a wide range of constitutional, social, and political issues that absorbed antebellum America. He revises accepted interpretations of various historical figures, including James Madison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Abraham Lincoln, and he argues convincingly that southern anxiety over the threat to the interstate slave trade was a key precipitant to the secession of the South and the Civil War.

Seriously, though:
1. It's a new week!
2. Anything can happen!
3. I have coffee!
4. I feel great success coming!
One of the reasons I'm feeling successful IN ADVANCE include the fact that I prepped my meals for the next 3 days. I can't tell you how good it feels to know all my food is ready. I don't have to freak out and wonder what I'm going to eat.
|I like to take pictures of my food...
Of course, Wednesday night I'll have to do it again. But that's okay...
Plus, I really believe that if you think it's a good week, it will be. It's not always easy to be in a good mood- believe me, I know!- but why not? It doesn't hurt anything to be happy. It doesn't help anything to be stressed. So, why not be happy, and then if things get better, you're still happy? If they don't, you're still happy!
Okay, that was my ray of sunshine for the morning.
What are you happy about this happy Monday?

Inside an Editor's Toolbox: 5 Must-Have Tools
When I first began my job as an editor for Beadwork and Jewelry Stringing magazines, I had no prior jewelry-making experience. I had no beads, no findings, no wire–nothing. My new coworkers helped me remedy that situation very quickly. The first thing they worked on was helping me create a toolbox. Nearly ten years later, the five tools they helped me pick out are still my go-to tools for creating strung and wireworked jewelry. Today, these are the tools I recommend to anyone who is beginning a jewelry-making hobby:
1. Crimping pliers: My first jewelry teachers insisted that finishing jewelry with crimp tubes that you cinch with crimping pliers created a more secure connection than simply squishing crimp beads with flat- or chain-nose pliers. So, I learned how to use crimping pliers right away. Remember, you use the back notch of the pliers to press the tube around the ends of the wire, then you use the front notch of the pliers to fold the two halves of the tube together For more information, watch this Jewelry Stringing 101 crimping video.
|2. Wire cutters: These are necessary for cutting beading and gauged wire. Just remember not use them for cutting steel memory wire. The steel wire is too hard for the cutters and will mar them. I recommend getting some quality pliers–it really makes a difference. My pliers are from Soft Flex. Co.
|3. Round-nose pliers: If you want to start making loops with wire, you need to have a pair of round-nose pliers. Mine is an ergonomic pair from Lindstrom. The nose of my pliers is fairly small, which works for me since I generally make small loops. I later bought a pair of round-nose pliers with a bigger nose for those projects that require larger loops.
|4. Flat-nose pliers: Another essential tool for doing wireworking, these pliers have a large, smooth nose for gripping wire without marring it. This tool is good for holding and bending wire. My ergonomic pair is from Lindstrom.
|5. Chain-nose pliers: These pliers are different from flat-nose pliers in that the nose tapers a lot more, allowing you to grip wire with more precision. It's great to have two smooth-jawed pair of pliers–such as a pair of chain- and flat-nose pliers–to open and close jump rings. Again, my ergonomic pair is from Lindstrom.
Do you have other tools you recommend to new beaders? If so, share them in the comments section, please!

Lynn Gipson
Lynn's involvement in the shooting sports began in 1972. Starting as a high school age trap setter at the old Elliott's Shooting Park in Raytown Missouri, Lynn advanced to trap line supervisor, assistant manager and then manager of Elliott's within five years. Since Elliott's owned their own lead recovery equipment, Lynn gained a "hands on" education in the lead reclamation process and goals while still in his teens.
After graduation from the University of Missouri, Lynn's career path turned to the construction industry. While employed by a series of Kansas City area mechanical contracting firms, business administration skills were sharpened and valuable practical knowledge of construction estimating, project management and job cost accounting were gained. All the while, Lynn remained involved in the shooting sports. Lynn has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Kansas City Trapshooters Association since 1976 (President 1986), and the Missouri Trapshooters Association Board of Directors since 1979 (President 1988), and currently serves as Secretary to both Boards. Directly involved in the planning, construction and management of not only the KCTA's Smithville Lake trap and skeet facility, but also every improvement, addition and Board decision at the Missouri home grounds in Linn Creek since election to these Boards. Using his own computer systems, custom software and extensive knowledge of the ATA registered shoot process, Lynn provided the computer services for the Missouri State Shoot and Fall Handicap Tournaments from 1991 to 1999…the largest Missouri Fall Handicap to date.
Lynn has been manager of the KCTA Public Shooting Park since 1997. He has planned and hosted hundreds of ATA registered shoots, NSSA registered shoots, fun shoots, club shoots, trap and skeet leagues, corporate shoots, youth programs and shoots, and just plain old practice shooting. He is a full time "hands on" manager. You may catch him figuring a Lewis option, mowing the grass, planning a new shoot or repairing a trap machine. Whatever the case, his qualifications are varied and extensive, but also uniquely tailored to the shooting sports. He will see and appreciate your needs and concerns from your perspective as a club operator or owner. He's spent a lifetime on your side of the table.
Steve Ricketts
Has been an active ATA member since 1988 and currently a member on the Board of Directors of KCTA in Smithville Mo and served as President of Missouri Trapshooters Association and is curently serving as Western Zone Director. With over 30 years experience in Heavy Equipment Maintenance and Operation as well as Earth Moving. Steve has been involved in several of the improvements made at KCTA and MTA in the last few years. In 2006 KCTA decided to reclaim the lead from the clubs 11 fields. Steve assisted in obtaining the necessary equipment and provided instruction in the setup and operation of such equipment. By the time the club was finished with their own project other club owners and managers were inquiring about getting their fields reclaimed. With Steve's background in customer service he understands the need for a good relationship with the customer is critical to being successful.

2017 RAMBO Schedule Released
The schedule for the Riverina Alpine Mountain Bike Open for 2017 has been released. For information on events, visit RAMBO 2017.
Great Alpine Road Upgrade
The Federal and State Governments have announced an upgrade of the Great Alpine Road from Bruthen in East Gippsland to Wangaratta in North Eastern Victoria.
Funding of $18 million has been allocated for 'betterment' or improvement works (not maintenance) on this important freight
and tourism route. $10 million will be invested on the section of road from Bruthen to just east of Mt Hotham, while $8 million
has been allocated to upgrade the route from east of Mt Hotham to Wangaratta.
Types of works
VicRoads is looking to identify improvement works that contribute to route safety, accessibility and reliability for all modes of transport, along with neighbourhood amenity and economic activity.
Examples of improvement works likely to be included are slow vehicle pull-over bays, intersection improvements, road widening and shoulder sealing, safety barriers, pavement restoration (not patching) and bridge improvements. Rest areas, shared off-road pathways and improved pedestrian facilities may also form part of the works.
Works priorities
In developing a list of priorities for improvement works along the Great Alpine Road, VicRoads will consider road usage patterns, crash data, feedback from stakeholders such as local municipalities, the freight, tourism and emergency services sectors, and input from the broader community.
The VicRoads Eastern and North Eastern Regions will work together to carry out planning for these works in the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 financial years.
Some construction will be started in late 2017, with the full program of upgrades to be completed by the end of the 2019- 2020 financial year.
Community participation
Throughout March to May 2017, VicRoads is seeking feedback from the community to identify issues of concern along this route. Input from the community will be used to compile a list of proposed works to be considered under the upgrade program.
Community feedback sessions are being held in:
• Bruthen Art & Information Centre – 3pm-8pm, 3 April
• Swifts Creek Community Centre – 3pm-8pm, 4 April
• Omeo Fire Station – 5pm-9pm, 5 April
• Star Hotel Bright – 3pm-8pm, 27 April
• East Gippsland Field Days, Bairnsdale Aerodrome – 28 & 29 April
• Myrtleford Neighbourhood House – 3pm-8pm, 2 May
• St Mary's Hall Bairnsdale – 2pm-7pm, 3 May
• Wangaratta Library – 3pm-8pm, 10 May.
A second round of community consultation in mid-late 2017 will again canvas the community to ascertain its priorities for works identified during the initial community consultation stage.
More information
If you would like to have your say on issues along the Great Alpine Road or would like to be kept updated on the progress of this project, please email firstname.lastname@example.com

My husband and I along with our two little dogs enjoyed a great break from September 29th to October 3rd this year. We had a lovely welcome from Drew and Nicky. The let had everything we needed and was very clean. We had lots of lovely walks along the beautiful beaches in the area. We will definitely be returning. The dogs enjoyed too and were shattered going home.
My husband and I really enjoyed the week we spent here in early June. Drew and Nicky were so welcoming and helpful, and the apartment is very good value for the low price, especially in summer. We travelled all around the Pembrokeshire area from here and having a car park included was a great bonus. The kitchenette is small but perfectly formed - we ate all of our breakfasts here and cooked all of our evening meals and saved lots of money by doing this. There are also lovely restaurants just a drive down the road in Saundersfoot and of course further afield in Tenby and many other lovely towns and villages. A great place to stay, and I have to say that from the hustle and bustle and noise of London the following week, I had several nostalgic moments remembering the peace of Pembrokeshire!

My partner and I stayed in October last year and whilst cleaning out an old draw I found their business card and remembered that we had forgotten to write a review.
The rental was lovely and we were greeted with complementary tea/coffee and a note. We were very comfortable during our week long stay. The kitchen was fully equipped and everywhere smelled and looked fresh and clean. The short walk to the beach meant that we got to enjoy more of the scenery of the area. We barely saw Drew & Nicky as my partner and I spent most of the week constantly visiting new places and exploring the coast, when we did meet Drew he was very friendly and polite and we received a very lovely note following our visit along with the check returning our deposit.
I would love to visit Saundersfoot again as that is where my now fiance proposed to me. And when we do visit again I hope to stay a little longer next time and in Suedois. The area was wonderful and my partner and I enjoyed our stay.
Thank you very much Drew & Nicky :)

The peaceful suedois holiday let was just a 15 minute walk from saundersfoot train station, attached to the family of drew & nicky and their daughter. We were welcomed into the let with a note and complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits. The room was very well laid out with a kitchen with everything you would expect to find, and all very well presented! There were instructions on the recycling which was handy to know. The double bed was very comfy and in the day was very light and bright. Upstairs was a lovely snug that had a futon where a peaceful evening was had in front of the television, the bathroom was very nicely presented with a corner shower. Drew welcomed us on the first night which was nice! And the family respected our privacy on our 5 day stay!
Saundersfoot was only a half hour walk through some lovely lanes and there was plenty of gorgeous estates to explore on the way! There were local buses running quite frequently when we needed to catch them that took us too saundersfoot and tenby in under 30 minutes. Next to the let there was the sunnyvale caravan park which we visited one evening and played bingo with the locals! There were 2 garages within a 10-15 minute walk, which sold the essentials and a Chinese take-away and resteraunt (it is however more to sit in than to take out, which we discovered). All in all the location, the transport and the holiday let was everything my girlfriend and myself needed for our first holiday together! A brilliant trip all round
We booked this accommodation for our first holiday with our newborn. Upon arrival we were greeted with tea, coffee and milk which was very welcome after the journey.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The owners (who live in the adjoining property) were very friendly and helpful whilst respecting our privacy.
The location was great and we didn't need to travel very far to reach some lovely beaches, castles and sections of the coast path.

Paul Newman
A muffled cry arose from the crew - a salvo of wonder and admiration, as the sailors hauled from its raft the floating figure, a body left to the freedom of the sea, a woman's body cast out in the Atlantic. Like a figurehead of flesh and bone, the sailors hauled up the bare white legs, thighs and torso which glittered with the salt pearls of the North Atlantic. They bore up the castaway face and spirit-clear eyes and saturated strands of hair, and each solitary seaman, as he stared down on that form - near-naked save for a grey silk slip - felt a breath-halting tenderness, a curdling sea-deep longing from which his calling, the war in the West, Adolf Hitler, the greed and Dionysian fury of battle-mad nations - had barred him.
On the boat deck, Captain Schleicher stared with fascination and addressed a young officer. "From the Uvedalia, I suspect, picked off by a U-boat."
"Isn't that a passenger?"
"An armed merchant cruiser might be a better description."
"We've landed a mermaid, Captain," called the gunner grinning.
"Take her below," Schleicher ordered, "Dr Kahr will see to her,"
He was aware of a mutinous growl of coarse laughter from the men, for Dr Kahr was often considered the most privileged member of the crew, the one man aboard licensed to touch the female prisoners and attend to their personal problems.
After lunch, Schleicher went below deck to the salt-white sick bay where Dr Kahr pounced on him immediately.
"Surely, something could be done to reduce the vibrations when firing. Have you any idea of the effect on patients who have just been operated upon?"
"How is the girl?"
"Still in a coma."
"May I see her?"
"Of course?"
Dr Kahr took him into the small enclosure where she was stretched out under a thin sheet. Schleicher's breath stalled and his shoulders trembled. He could make out each detail of her outline like a sculpture of a naked Venus, or Galatea waiting brought to life by an intensity of desire. As he gazed down on her, an urge stirred him, a devouring need to prostrate himself, to sink and kneel before the white thighs and slight breasts.
Sensing Schleicher's mixture of confusion and fascination, Dr Kahr was able to frame an appropriate thought.
"She exudes the spell of the Eternal Womanly, does she not?"
"Why do I feel so...so overpowered?" asked Schleicher.
Kahr shrugged and replied. "She is young, desirable and naked. She does nothing but breathe - what else does a man want?"
The next morning Schleicher heard that the Graf Spee had been scuttled. This was perplexing as well as alarming. A few days previously, he had been informed how the battleship had put out of action three British cruisers off Montivideo. "Goebbels propaganda beginning to seriously mislead," he noted in his diary.
The alarm wrenched him out of his brooding - a ship had been sighted. Quickly he asked the signalman to order it to stop and be searched.
"Prepare a boarding party."
When the boat - a Norwegian tanker - grudgingly drew alongside, Schleicher ambled down a gangplank, formally greeted the foreign crew, then produced a pistol.
"You are under arrest and your boat is hereby requisitioned for the German Navy."
Grim-faced and glowering, the seamen lifted their hands, their expressions a mix of humiliation and suppressed rage; they had been cleverly and boldly deceived.
Next Schleicher and two senior officers checked out the interior whose bulkheads, it transpired, contained gallons of aviation spirit and not the diesel fuel they had hoped for. He found it faintly eerie, exploring the crew's quarters, like stepping into the psychologies and private worlds of different men. There was something unsettling about entering cabins where mounted photographs of unfamiliar wives, girlfriends and children stared down at you with silent reproach as you removed items like wallets, binoculars and chronometers from the drawers.
An hour later Schleicher returned to the deck of the Gracchus and immediately set about transferring the women and children prisoners to the captured tanker. Next he radioed a U-boat, requesting a scratch crew so that the vessel should be manned and taken to Hamburg and re-adapted for the German war effort.
Feeling satisfied with the general efficiency of his arrangements, he went out and surveyed the deck where Commander Wilson, an English prisoner, sidled up to him. "Sorry to hear about the Graf Spee," he remarked with a grin that reached his eyes.
In the excitement of capturing and annexing the tanker, Schleicher had forgotten about the damaged pride of the German navy; the memory instantly deflated his morale. "Yes," he shrugged morosely, "it was a great loss."
"Of course, the captain did not go down with his ship. Instead he booked into a hotel room in Buenos Aires and shot himself. Imagine that - dreadful business!"
"Your concern over the welfare of our officers is most touching," remarked Schleicher. "But you must not lose sleep over it."
"Of course," Wilson needled, "now the big fish has been landed, they'll be getting their hooks into you. Your disguise won't protect you - no one could mistake you for a Clyde-built ship."
"Why?" asked Schleicher curiously. "Is it the poop deck?"
"I can't tell you," said Wilson. "You'll have to go down with that particular secret undisclosed."
"Very well Commander," said Schleicher, "but you should also bear in mind the same applies to you, as we are, quite literally, in the same boat."
Wilson gave a philosophical snort and turned away. Schleicher shrugged. In the eyes of the British he epitomised Nazi deceitfulness, for Gracchus, the ship he captained, was a wolf in sheep's clothing, a raider, a heavily armed vessel disguised as an ordinary merchant ship so that it was able to get close enough to pick off Allied shipping. Gracchus had now sunk over fifty allied vessel and Schleicher sensed the fate he had dished out to so many would shortly be turned upon him.
Two nights later, there was a rough sea and Schleicher's mind pitched and rolled in its comfortable bunk. His dreams were bloodshot, vulnerable, lost. Photographs from the Norwegians' cabins swirled across his brain in distorted form and once he glimpsed the perplexed face of his son, Timm, who had suffered the ignominy of dying by the hand of a Polish cavalryman - pierced by his long lance. Imagine that! They had thrown everything against the under-equipped Poles: screaming Stukas, Panzer divisions, vast detachments of infantry - they had routed, bombed and burned them out, but poor Timm had met an antiquated end during the counterattack by the Pomorska Brigade. With his weak chin and guilty eyes, no one could have been further from the Prussian officer who spurns humanity while clicking his heels - the boy was born out of time. He would have like to have studied botany - botany! The nearest he got to that was a floral wreath with a black laurel swastika in the centre.
"Beyond the life of the individual," Hitler had said, "is that of the Nation." But what did that mean? For there to be a purpose, some things must be fixed and stable, so that history resembles a series of foundation stones - but the history of war is of crumbling foundations. War is man's rage against his failure to find fulfilment in love. War takes life and gives back rhetoric. Once he had a son, a child who called him Papa, now a frozen lump of lard in the ground - a heroic sacrifice for the glory of the fatherland.
Troubled, he got up from his bunk and went down to the sick bay where the cataleptic girl was confined. Schleicher hovered there, listening to the thick drubbing of the diesel engines, the waves' smothering hiss and the regular knock of the ship's painter against the bows. Only a single light was burning, candle-faint, and other men had surreptitiously visited the place. He was not the only one who craved whatever it was she conferred - the peace, the sense of reverence. Yes, as if to make a shrine, the sailors had left pinned to the walls and headboard of the bed little trinkets, coins, postcards of palms and coral islands, bits of embroidery, a rag doll, an ivory elephant - votives for a sleeping beauty.
If only, it occurred to him, the world could be reduced to a slumbering woman, then it would become a quiescent possibility, an imminent revelation. But were the mass to awake, everything would polarise into motives and conflicts. If that girl were to sit up and breathe, men would begin to fight for her hand, and a small war would start over again. And he saw all conflict in a different light - as men fighting against the feminine for the feminine, risking and forfeiting all in order to regain the organic stillness before the first breath of being.
Half-dreaming Schleicher knelt before the prone figure and let his head sink forward. For a moment he gazed down upon her carved white warmth and watched his breath stir a wisp of hair that had strayed across her eyelid.
When he returned to his cabin, it was morning, and he was surprised to find Kersh, the steward, standing outside smiling and holding a glass and plate. "Captain, some champagne and a slice of Christmas cake."
"We take an extremely dim view of unnatural behaviour in the Navy," said Schleicher, reprimanding two shamefaced members of his crew, "but I realise that the circumstances are hardly easy, and so I am merely confining you both to your cabins for a week."
With a curt nod, he dismissed the men from his headquarters. It was a wretchedly embarrassing business. In lieu of fir trees, crackers and cards, he had allowed the crew to devise their own impromptu cabaret for Christmas; a number of them had dressed up and made up as females, right down to such details as lipstick, brassieres and garters. This titillating - if ludicrous - sight had inflamed the appetites of certain 'sensitive' members of the crew and drove them to acts of homosexual vice which naturally had to be dealt with promptly.
The distasteful interview finished, he went down to the wardroom and helped himself to a brandy. As the spirit stoked up warmth in his veins, he found himself mildly alarmed when a yielding, guilty urge made him unlock a drawer and remove an item of attire and hold it against his cheek - the smoke-grey slip that had once sheathed the body of the girl. Wonderful it must be, he thought, to wear such soft clothes.
During the afternoon of New Year's day, Gracchus encountered a Canadian ship. Schleicher told the signalman to give the traditional 'Stop or I'll fire' warning. When the ship was within two hundred yards, the camouflage was dropped, up sprang the Battle Flag and the 'crane' became a menacing long-barreled gun.
Half an hour later, Schleicher observed the vessel wallowing and threshing amid fountains of steam and bushes of flame. Gathered on the poop deck, beside guns that an hour before had masqueraded as industrial machinery, Schleicher and his crew watched with guilt-tinged satisfaction as the vessel, after a last boiling crescendo, purposefully dived out of sight.
Many prisoners were taken that day, men, women and children, and the atmosphere of the ship became tense and packed. In the days ahead, crammed below deck, Schleicher knew they would become a nuisance, refractory, sullen, complaining about the food and conditions - but it was now his duty to change from aggressor to formal host, to nurse them, dress their wounds, inform them of new developments and share out his owns crew's supplies with them.
Listing and interrogating the prisoners took hours, and Schleicher did not go below deck to glimpse at the girl until late at night when, poised like a sleepwalker above her supine form, the strange thought occurred to him that perhaps, if he were to attempt to make love to her, some form of resurrection might take place - she might come alive and be made whole. But no, perish the thought - he shuddered at his own imaginings - that would not be the point, not the point at all.
Gracchus saw no more action until early February when Schleicher captured and sunk a merchantman carrying supplies of beeswax, vanilla and coffee. Later, as he watched his crew pour the bags of ersatz over the side and top them up with quality stuff, he felt rueful about his honest and moral upbringing. Had he cultivated contacts in the black market, what a wealthy fellow he might have ended up! Fleetingly he imagined himself in another life, as a rich man with a daughter as well as a son, showing them around warehouses stacked with exotic goods which he would freely share out with them and all their friends. "The good things of life," he murmured, "how cheap they come." He turned and descended to the sick bay where the girl lay. He knew she would not survive much longer, for she had been unable to eat. "If she was my daughter," he sighed, "I'd enjoy not shaping or influencing, only watching time move through her." He breathed hard; a riot of hooves hammered the dust of his brain out of which jerked a silver-white lance. "Poor Timm."
The sun came out and his mood lifted. He discussed a problem with the Torpedo Officer and then encountered Commander Wilson at his morning break. The middle-aged officer was smoking his pipe as he leant against the water tank.
"Do you have a son, Wilson?" he asked.
"No, only two bloody daughters, and they drive me crackers."
"Why is that? Don't you like them?"
"No, the trouble is I like them too much. I always want to please them, and I always seem to get things wrong." He laughed. "I believe they call it the halo effect."
Schleicher smiled but the remark remained with him.
Early the next morning the alarm bell sounded, and from the bridge Schleicher was able to pick out the advancing form of a British cruiser, HMS Avenger, crisply circling the Gracchus. Holding her distance, she was performing a series of intricate serpentine manoevures, giving her a great advantage as her 8-inch guns far outstretched the range of the German raider.
Schleicher tensed and debated whether to keep course. From the gun deck of the Avenger sprouted two orange flashes - a shell slashed across the bows and masthead of the Gracchus with a noise like an express train. This was a signal ordering them to stop.
"Open fire, Captain?" called the gunner.
"No - not yet. It's out of our range anyway."
"Create smoke?"
"No," said Schleicher firmly. "Stop engines." The regular throb of the diesel died; an almost spectral silence descended, in which the breath of the sea was audible, the steady lapping and washing of the bows.
Schleicher addressed the signalman. "Kaspar, try using that captured British signalling lamp. Give the signal: HMS Polyphemus asked to stop by an unidentified ship."
It was a very slender chance. If Avenger radioed the admiralty and established the true whereabouts of HMS Polyphemus, the disguise would be blown and a combative response could be expected quickly.
A tense moment. Schleicher waited. The breath of each member of the crew seemed to grow taut and solid as the Avenger continued to describe elusive esses, like a hound circling its prey, and then another spurt of orange and a shell struck the aft bow. The sea lifted up a mountain-high partition of spray and fragments of hot metal pitted the deck.
Schleicher shouted. "Start ship - full ahead!"
Two more shells struck home in rapid succession. Smoke billowed like an angry apparition and pulled away from a flaming shambles of twisted ventilators and shattered rafters.
Knowing the cause was lost, Schleicher slipped below deck to the sick bay, as if to gain a last healing look. To his amazement, the girl was sitting up with a startled look on her face.
"What is your name?" he asked dazedly.
"Grace," she replied.
That was the last word Schleicher heard - a torpedo crashed into the side of the Gracchus. The decking convulsed and thrashed epileptically and a splinter of shrapnel entered his skull. Swaying, he spread his hands and contacted nothing. But it did not matter, for there came a reassuring warmth in which his whole self seemed to be unravelling like white wool. He had never felt so light. It was as if he were striding drunk down a sloping avenue of cloud.
He sank into a coma, not entirely senseless, for whether in reality or fancy, he did not know, but he found himself clambering up to the deck with the rescued girl in his arms. Standing on the bridge beyond the wireless room, above the mayhem of ruptured metal, he held her up like a living trophy - a soul for salvage. Below him the deck was a maze of flames and a burst steam pipe was spitting out a boiling-hot mist, but still he waited and stared at the sea - probing the emerald vastation that stretched forever in front of him.
Only after a long while, when his arms were numb and his neck a dead weight, did he sight in the distance a sailing ship, a three-masted barque. Her cordage spread a glittering web as her prow sliced the waters like a knife dividing a greengage. Despite a scorching pain in his head, Schleicher felt happy, almost weightless, convinced that he and the girl were destined to board that vessel together and their voyage would be easy, effortless.
