What Type of Guns does a Prepper Need?
By Alec Sharp (Palmetto Prepper)
I was visiting a friend the other week, who claims to be a fellow prepper, and he wanted to show off his preps; which is something I do not encourage any prepper to do. So out to his man cave, located in the back of his garage, we went so he could show off all his preps. The way he was talking I was expecting to see tons of food, gallons upon gallons of water, go bags and some guns. But what I saw were guns and more guns. Along with the guns there was box after box after box of ammo. This guy had so many guns and so much ammo that he could open his own store. What I did not see was much in the way of water storage or food.
Guns and ammo are an important part of most people's preps but by no means would I ever suggest to anyone that guns and ammo be the most important prep you have; just like I would not recommend that anyone only prep water or food or junk silver. We must have a balanced approach to prepping.
All this got me thinking about my guns and ammo and the approach I took to picking out the guns I have and just how much ammo was really needed. After giving the subject a lot of thought this is what I came up with.
There are basically four types of guns and each has its own place in your preps. I strongly believe that each household should have a shotgun, a centerfire rifle, a handgun and a .22 rifle.
A good shotgun can be used for both hunting and home defense. I started out with a good 12 gage shotgun that my grandfather left to me many years ago. This shotgun, a Browning A5, is great for bird hunting and can be used to hunt squirrels and other small game. However it really is too big to be a good home defense weapon but in a pinch it will get the job done. Later in my prepping I did add a good pump shot gun to my preps for home defense.
The centerfire is for hunting bigger game and stopping people out at longer ranges. I only get to go deer hunting about three or four times a year and did not want to invest lots of money into a centerfire rifle but I wanted one that would not fail. I found a Remington 770 at a local store for under $200 and it came with a scope. I quickly found that the scope was a cheaper make and the optics were not good for long distance shots so I upgraded to some decent optics for under $200. I have been very happy with this rifle and it is very capable of taking down Whitetail Deer and wild hogs.
A hand gun is to stop bad people at close range. My wife, my oldest son, oldest daughter and I all have our Concealed Weapons Permits (CWP) and carry just about everywhere we go. However I did not start out with a handgun for everyone. To start out I went to a local pawn store and bought a good used .38 caliber revolver; this is gun my daughter currently carries. I would suggest that what every you decide to purchase I would get it in 9mm or .40 caliber. The reason for this is that these are the calibers that are most often carried by local police departments; which means that when you are stocking up on ammo these will be easier to find.
Lastly the .22 rifle is for hunting small game and keeping your shooting skills sharp because the ammunition is less expensive. I have a Ruger 10/22 and I mounted the cheap scope that came with my centerfire rifle on it. It is a great gun. I use it for hunting rabbits, squirrels, turtles and other small game. My kids love to take it to the range to practice with because it is so easy to shoot. In addition the Ruger is probably the most popular 22 rifle made and there are tons of accessories manufactured for it. I have purchased some of the 25 round magazines for it which I have found increases my odds of taking down a fast moving squirrel.
Now how much ammo do you really need? Only you can answer is that question but I will share with you what I have done. I try to keep 500 rounds of ammo for each gun I own, except .22 which I keep about 1000 rounds of. Now this number is not for each caliber gun but for each gun you own. If you had two 9mm pistols (one for you and one for your wife) then you would need to have 1000 rounds of 9 mm ammo on hand. When purchasing shotgun shells you need to be aware that there are many different types. I keep some target loads, turkey loads, small game loads and buck shot. That way I have the type of shells that I need when I need them.
I would not get all these guns at one time. Maybe after you have a good amount of water stored up then you could buy your shotgun. Then add some food to your preps and get a pistol and so on.
I would suggest that your first gun be a good 12 gage shotgun because it is dual purposed. You can protect yourself and family with it as well as hunt. Then I would get a pistol and I would encourage you to get your CWP.
Sneaky Pete Holsters – Product Review
By: Alec Sharp (Palmetto Prepper)
The Sneaky Pete Holster Company is a small family owned and operated business located in New York State. They are actually so small that they don't have any kind of phone staff and only handle customer support by email through their "Contact Us" page on their website which can be located at http://www.sneakypeteholsters.com .
My wife, who recently obtained her Conceal Weapons Permit, has been looking for a good holster that would allow her to move her newly purchased Ruger LCP .380 from her purse to her person. So when her birthday came around and she still had not found a holster she liked, I took the matter into my own hands and started searching for a holster that I thought would fit the bill. I found several that I liked on the market, but none of them had the fit and finish that Sneaky Pete appeared to have.
After much research I decided to order her a holster from their website. One of the things that helped me make my decision to buy this holster was that the owners of the company have also been making cell phone pouches for years and built this holster to resemble a cell phone holder. The other major reason I decided on this holster was that it was made to be worn on the outside the waist band, which I thought would be much more comfortable for my wife.
I was surprised that Sneaky Pete offered four different versions of the holster for my wife's LCP. It was offered with a belt clip or belt loop and with flush plate or extended pinky. I decided to order her the LCP belt clip extended pinky design. It was reasonable priced at $54.95 plus shipping. The order was processed quickly and in less than a week my wife's new holster was delivered.
The holster was packaged in a very nice custom looking black box and then inside the leather holster was in a cloth type bag that resembles something you would get a Crown Royal liquor bottle out of. I personally think the company spent way too much money on the packaging and could have possibly lowered the price of their holster if they would have gone with a cheaper package, which just ends up in the trash.
When my wife opened the wrapped package I gave her for her birthday she was excited and she thought the holster packaging was really upscale. However, the first thing she said once she got her new holster out of its packaging was that she thought the holster was too big to resemble any type of cell phone holder. She commented that it looked more like it would hold a small tablet. She and I were both impressed with the craftsman ship, the quality of the leather and the superb stitching.
The other half of her birthday present was dinner out at O'Charley's restaurants. We put on our best blue jeans and left the house, of course with her sporting her new Sneaky Pete properly positioned on her belt. She commented several times as we walked around the house and yard about how comfortable the holster was, however when she went to sit-down she quickly changed her mind. She stated several times that in a sitting position the holster was way too big and bulky. When we got out of the car the first thing my wife did was pull her shirt over the holster to hid some of it size. If you are not familiar with the Ruger LCP it is a very small gun. It is so small that sometimes when we are dressed up I will leave my bigger 9 mm or my 1911 45 at home and carry her LCP in the front pocket of my dress pants.
The other thing that she did not like was that drawing the gun from the holster was not natural. First you have to move the flap and then to remove the gun, because the trigger is covered for safety, you have to use two fingers to lift the handle up before getting a good grip on the gun. After a month of wearing the holster she decided to put the LCP back in purse and the holster in the closet.
I have used the holster several times and for a man the size is not as big of deal. I wear it with my t-shirt out, making just the bottom of the holster visible. I also don't like the act of drawing the gun from the holster but with practice I could become accustomed to it. I wear the holster with a suit or if we are going somewhere that I need to take extra care in making sure that the gun is covered at all times.
Final comments – The Sneaky Pete holster is made of high quality materials and looks very nice. I think the concept of a holster that guarantees total concealment of your gun is a great idea. But it is not right for everyone. For a woman with a small frame the holster is just too big and bulky. I think the holster is ideal for a business man who wants to carry and still look sharp. For our family and needs it just did not fit the bill. I will still wear it on occasions but it will not be an everyday carry holster for us. I think it is a great holster for special occasions but I just don't think it is practical for your average everyday use, others may disagree but for us this holster will spend more time in the closet then on the belt.
I sincerely hope this helps you make an informed decision.

Five Things Every 12 Year Old Should Know
By: Alec Sharp (Palmetto Prepper)
As a father of six children I have found that there are several things my children must know. As the world becomes much more complex; these things become more important. There are many other things that our kids should know and hopefully they will learn them before they need them, but these five things are a must.
1. How to get home:
I remember about 15 years ago I took my family to Disney World to see Mickey Mouse and his friends. After lunch we were all standing in line to ride yet another ride and I look around and could not find my 4 year old son. I felt the sinking feeling in my heart as I began to scour the crowd for him. Luckily for me, there was a nice older couple who saw him walk off and brought him back to me. This event got me wondering; what would have happened if that couple would not have seen him walk off?
That very night the education began. My wife and I made flash cards and started teaching our children important information like their home address, telephone number and our full names.
As they got a little older we taught them how to get home. This was fairly easy to do. We started off by going about three blocks from our home and had them tell us where to turn to get us all home safely. Once the three blocks were mastered we would venture further away from our home and have them direct us back home. Eventually we would go to large landmarks in town like a shopping mall, the State House, Church, etc. and they all learned how to get home.
As technology changed so did our teaching. When my wife and I got cell phones the kids learned those new numbers. When the older children moved out, the younger kids learned where they lived and there cell phone numbers. You will be amazed at how much information your children can retain!
2. Basic first aid:
This is also very important and when I say basic I am not talking about how to stich a large wound closed or anything thing like that. What I am talking about is that they know where the family's first aid kit is kept and how to use the items in it. Like most prepping families our first aid kit is larger than the little kits you get at Wal-Mart and we carry extra smaller kits when we leave home.
Our kits not only have Band-Aids and the other basics but also gaze pads, terry strips and OTC medicines. All the kids know how to properly clean out a wound, stop basic bleeding and how to get help.
A commonly over looked important item to have in your first-aid kits would be the phone numbers for adults that live close by that can assist with the rendering of aid along with the contact number for your local EMT office.
In order for your children to feel comfortable with the first aid kit you have at home I would recommend that you roll play with them and have them treat you for different events. In some cases you might have a small cut on your finger and they have to properly clean it out, add ointment and a bandage. Yet in another scenario you might have a broken arm and they would have to help you immobilize it and call a neighbor who could get you to help.
Whatever kind of kit you have it is important that your children are familiar with where your kit is stored and how to use the items in it.
3. How to find food and water:
If your children are at home, this is a pretty easy task to complete. But once they know where the food is stored they also need to know what to do with it. When I was off at college I called my wife (then girlfriend) long distance to ask her how to cook a can of green beans. She got a good laugh out of that and vowed that none of her children would ever be that helpless. She has taught all of our children how to cook. Just the other day my 12 year old daughter cooked supper to include homemade biscuits.
Now when they are away from home this task is not so easy. What would happen if you and your child were hiking or camping in the woods and your child got separated from you? Do they know what plants can be eaten; can they fish or catch small game? If not then you need to teach them. A simple internet search for Wild Eatables would be a good place to start.
4. How to defend/prefect themselves
Gun safety would be a good place to start. There are several types of firearms in and around our farm. The first thing I did was take the curiosity about guns away by showing the guns to all the children. The children were allowed to hold them, after they were made safe, and I have allowed them to all shoot a gun at the range. A 22 caliber rifle is a good place to start. At the age of 9 my youngest daughter learned how to handle and safely shoot a 22 rifle.
Sometimes hiding is the best way for the kids to protect themselves. Find a good place for the kids to take refuge if danger shows up.
Emergency numbers are another good resource that your kids can use to keep themselves safe. If they are ever in a situation where they need help, a list of emergency phone numbers will be very useful. The list should include, but not be limited to, the local police station, neighbors, family and close friends.
Lastly check into self-defense classes. These can be found at your local YMCA, Police Department or Church. Many organizations offer self-defense classes for entire family.
5. How to swim
Swimming is an important skill for the entire family to learn. We have a small pond in our back yard and spend part of the summer hiking around a local lake. I am sure that just about every family routinely comes in contact with both large and small bodies of water and because of this it is important for your children to learn how to swim.
Children can actually learn how to swim before that can walk. There are many places that offer swimming lessons and usually at a reasonable price. Check your local YMCA or swim club for a list of lessons. We actually bartered with a local lifeguard for swimming lessons.
I was speaking with a few of my preparedness blogging friends and we all decided to write on this subject. Please check out there blogs to see their ideas on this important subject.

Firearms Safety – It is Your Responsibility
By: Alec Sharp (Palmetto Prepper)
I would say that several times a week I am being asked about guns. What to buy, where to buy it and how do I obtain a CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit). In addition, I have seen an increase in CWP holders. Just last year my wife, my oldest son, an older couple from church and the lady at Starbuck's have all gotten there CWP Permits.
The one question I have not been asked is about gun safety, which is the most important information that any gun holder should have. It would seem to me that most people are quick to get to the end result, owning a gun, without taking time to obtain all the information needed to be a responsible gun owner.
I firmly believe that every law abiding citizen, that what's to own a firearm of some sort, should have that right! I just want to make sure that new and old gun owners have the basic knowledge to be a responsible gun owner.
10 Basics of Gun Safety
1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction – If everyone handled a firearm so carefully that the muzzle never pointed at something they did not intend to shoot, there would be virtually no firearms accidents.
2. Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use – It is your responsibility to prevent children and unauthorized adults from gaining access to firearms or ammunition.
3. Don't rely on your gun's "Safety" –Treat every gun as though it can fire at any time, regardless of pressure on the trigger.
4. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it – Don't shoot unless you know exactly what your shot is going to strike.
5. Use correct ammunition – You must assume the serious responsibility of using only the correct ammunition for your firearm.
6. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, HANDLE WITH CARE! – Any time there is a cartridge (bullet) in the chamber, your gun is loaded and ready to fire even if you've tried to shoot and it did not go off. It could go off at any time, so you must always remember RULE #1 and watch the muzzle!
7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting – All shooters should wear protective glasses and some form of hearing protection while shooting.
8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting – Before you load your firearm, open the action and be certain that no ammunition is in the chamber or magazine.
9. Don't alter or modify your gun and have guns services regularly –Any alteration or change made to a firearm after manufacture can make the gun dangerous and will usually void any factory warranties.
10. Learn the Mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using – Since guns can be so different; never handle any firearm without first thoroughly familiarizing yourself with it.
My goal in posting this quick article is to just give you the simplest of basics in gun safety. For more information please visit the below listed websites:

Side Effects of Oral Chelation
Image by Flickr.com, courtesy of Siew Yi Liang
Oral chelation is a self-administered alternative treatment for hardening of the arteries using EDTA, the same man-made amino acid that medical doctors inject into a patient's veins as an emergency treatment for lead or mercury poisoning. EDTA binds heavy metals into a compound that is excreted in urine.
Oral chelation therapists maintain that EDTA also cures heart disease by "chelating" or seeking out and binding calcium, one compound in the plaque that blocks artery walls. Some also market EDTA as a blood cleaner for many other medical conditions, ignoring warnings about its severely toxic side effects.
EDTA or ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid can be purchased in capsules or liquid form with no prescription in health food stores and online. It has been promoted by alternative medical practitioners for chelation therapy since the 1970s.
Web sites marketing oral chelation supplements declare them safe and downplay side effects, offering different theories about the mechanism by which oral chelation is supposed to clear out the arteries. Some who sell EDTA also suggest other health benefits for the supplements and even recommend it as a tonic for those who have no medical problems.
The American Heart Association found "no scientific evidence to demonstrate any benefit from this form of therapy." All the major medical regulatory authorities agree with the American Heart Association that chelation therapy offers no proven benefits.
The positive effects reported by many who use oral chelation therapy have been found to be no different from the well-known placebo effect, where a patient's strong desire and belief in a treatment can result in improvement in as many as 50 per cent of the cases, even when the medication or treatment is a harmless fake or so-called "sugar pill."
Some of the improvement attributed to chelation therapy may also be the result of the recommended lifestyle changes prescribed along with the treatment, such as exercise, giving up caffeine and tobacco, limiting alcohol and improving nutrition.
Oral Chelation and Autistic Children
Parents of autistic children are the newest users of oral chelation supplements for their children, acting on the theory that autism can be triggered by mercury poisoning from childhood immunisation. The calcium depletion side effect of chelation therapy puts developing bones at particular risk.
Short Term Side Effects
The most common immediate side effects of oral chelation therapy include: skin rashes, redness and swelling, headaches, diarrhoea, nausea, fainting, fatigue, joint pain, body aches, cramps and convulsions.
Permanent and Deadly Side Effects
Those considering oral chelation should consult with a physician first to make sure that they have no medical conditions that put them at particular risk of long-term damage or death.
Over the longer term, the binding action of chelation therapy extracts minerals from the body. The EDTA is seldom all excreted and some will linger in the stomach continuing to bind to minerals and interfere with vitamin absorption, which can cause malnutrition and make the body more vulnerable to infection and disease.
Kidney damage from chelation therapy has resulted in permanent damage requiring ongoing dialysis. Deaths have also occurred during chelation therapy from kidney failure and cardiac arrhythmia.
Death and permanent injury have resulted from chelation therapy, even in doctor-supervised clinical trials. The American Heart Association warns of severe and life-threatening side effects and does not endorse chelation as a treatment for heart disease.

These are so fantastic. The top shot reminds me of Brassai -- only with orange instead of black and white. Great capture of the park's vibe at night -- beautiful, and a little edgy.
I really love these.

What do a Super Bowl Hero and a Forest Biologist Have in Common?
by Meg Lowman
"I can try to explain it to you, but unless you see it for yourself, you really can't gasp the situation. They're going through one of the worst droughts ever, it's barely rained in three years. There is no water to grow vegetation, no water to drink. Everything is like desert. For people in the United States, it's hard to wrap your mind around that."
—Anquan Boldin, football star of Baltimore Ravens' winning Super Bowl 2013 team
As a nerdy scientist, I was never a Super Bowl fan. This year when Anquan Boldin, who shares my passion for building stone walls in Ethiopia, made the first touchdown of the winning Baltimore Ravens, I became one. Although science and sports appear worlds apart, both of us are dedicated to aiding a country that faces drought, poverty, deforestation, and disease.
Northern Ethiopia has a serious problem with its forest resources. The last remaining forests exist as small fragments called "church forests." These forests surround virtually all the Ethiopian Orthodox churches. Thanks to Google Earth, the shrinkage of these forests in recent decades can be documented. At current rates, these precious green islands are rapidly disappearing forever. The causes are clear. Farmers plow too close to the forest boundaries, which kills the trees around the edges. Cattle meander into the woods nibbling the seedlings and threatening the next generation of trees. Villagers are constantly tempted to grab occasional dead branches for firewood. Despite these activities, Ethiopians love their church and depend on these forests for essential ecosystem services, especially fresh water. These forests provide the last remaining seed source for Ethiopian native trees, important medicines, honey, fresh water, homes for pollinators and other animals, and a highly-valued spiritual sanctuary. In short, no one in rural Ethiopia wants the forests to become extinct.
For five years, I have headed up a conservation task force to reverse northern Ethiopia's deforestation. This requires gaining the complete trust of the church leadership, as well as offering creative solutions acceptable to the diverse needs of clergy, villagers, and the science of forest management. In some breakthrough negotiations only two weeks before the Super Bowl, we brought government officials to the table with church leadership, hopefully ending the carnage around the forest edges. Local government officials pledged to settle the boundary disputes between church forests and farmers, and church leaders promised to conserve their remaining forests. We now have generous American students and citizens donating for construction of beautiful stone walls to demarcate the church forest boundaries.
Conservation is usually not this easy. Grassroots efforts that engage local people in negotiations and involve listening to different points of view often prove more successful than high-powered negotiations in far-away capital cities. The Ethiopian Orthodox church considers the stewardship of all of God's creatures as a primary mission, as do conservation biologists who seek to conserve biodiversity. Working together, church and science are achieving amazing results for Ethiopia. And it does not hurt to have a famous Super Bowl star willing to building the stone walls.

War Games
I've been a fan of Doug Jackson's writing for a long time, from his Roman work on the Caligula series and the Hero of Rome series to his Jamie Sinclair novels. Quite simply, unless he contemplated regency romance, there probably isn't a Jackson novel I wouldn't read. When I learned that he had taken an unpublished manuscript and released it himself as an ebook I was clearly going to read it.
The first thing that strikes me is that I read a lot of fiction released by big publishing houses and I read a lot of independent fiction (which varies in quality from the sublime to the ridiculous). This is the second time I have read an independent release by an otherwise traditionally published author. And what I noted straight away is that it further blurs the line between the two. A good independently published book is better than a poor traditionally published one. And this is for certain a really good independently published book. In fact, Transworld might have slipped up in letting this one pass. Well, Transworld's loss is our gain, as you can buy the ebook of War Games for £2.15.
Tell you about the book, you say?
Alright. War Games is a modern thriller rooted in Scottish history, which occupies that same niche as the author's Sinclair novels, or any number of investigative thrillers. But it is different. The protagonist of War Games is… a psychic investigator. The urge to add 'Duh, duh, duhhhhhh' after that is almost irresistable. The concept might put some folk off, I'll admit. I'm not a huge fan of the psychic angle in book or film myself, but if it is done well, then it's a great read. I'll come back to the plot after a couple of tangents.
The book is set in the lowlands and borders of Scotland, which is Doug's home territory, and the level of depth of knowledge and love that has gone into the descriptions of the locations is wonderful. And I am familiar with the area, having spent time at many of the locations myself, so I can vouch for how spot on Doug's descriptions are.
The book is set in the present day (give or take a few years) but the plot delves into a background that covers anything from the ancient world up, focusing very heavily on the 12th to 14th centuries. Since we are familiar with the author's historical knowledge and ability from other books, it should be no suprise how well this informs the plot and text of War Games.
The narration is told in the first person, and with an almost 'voice-over' aspect that puts me in mind of the classive film noir detectives, or the original theatrical release of Blade Runner. To some extent this can ham up a plot, but that can be a drawback or a bonus, depending on how it is integrated into the story. In War Games I found it positively endearing. It was evocative of so many detective movies of my youth and cast a certain 'book noir' aspect to it that worked for me.
As I said, I generally avoid all things psychic, but saying that I absolutely love the Necroscope novels of Brian Lumley which feature a whole slew of psychically-enabled investigators working for the British government. The reason? It was REALLY well done. It was believable and played to the realist in me rather than promoting the fantastical. Jackson's hero does the same. The psychic aspect of it is such a minor facet of the whole and is so downplayed and shot through with strains of realism that it comes across as perfectly normal, which is hard to do, and works well.
So go on… back to the plot. Glen Savage – Falkland islands and Northern Ireland veteran and unhappy psychic is living close to the breadline trying to support himself and his wonderful wife, who suffers badly with MS, when he is offered a lucrative contract by a Muslim Scot with seemingly unlimited funds. Having spent the time between his military service and this point with a brief flare of a career as the psychic that helps the police – at least until that cash cow caught foot and mouth – he is the only choice Mr Ali can turn to when his daughter goes missing and the police are particularly unhelpful.
Cue an investigation into a crazed serial killer who is driven by madness and an odd identification with a long-dead crusader to murder those he sees as enemies of the faith.
And that's enough of plot. I don't want to ruin it. A last few notes, though. This is a tale with a serious leaning towards religious schism and long-standing creed hatred combined with a serial killer tale on a par with the top writers in the field. The writing is excellent as always, but with a raw edge and 'noir' aspect that adds atmosphere to the story. And the sideline exploration into the world of living with Multiple Sclerosis is fascinating too.
In short, War Games is a really absorbing story that hits the mark in a number of ways. I heartily recommend it.
And to give you a great glimpse into the world behind the book, I managed to get the author to answer a few questions. Thank you, Doug, and here we go…
SIMON: Most of the locations in War Games are strewn around the borders and lowlands of Scotland. I'm quite familiar with a few of the sites myself and I know that you're from the area. How much were the locations selected in line with your plot, or was the plot to some extent tweaked by the inclusion of locations you were dying to use?
DOUG: When I finished my first novel (it became Caligula, but I didn't then have publisher) I had no idea what to do next, but I'd enjoyed it so much it seemed a pity not to write another. By then I knew I was I capable of writing a historical novel, so why not try something different? What came next was a crime novel written in the first person because the main character started talking to me in my sleep in a kind of Fifties Noir Sam Spade voiceover kind of way. When I started writing it I had an idea that I wanted to make the Borders a character, in the way James Lee Burke does with so successfully with New Orleans and the Bayou. I suppose there was also an element of passing on my love of what is a very special place and encouraging others to visit it.The actual locations were dictated by the need to have links with one of the main historical figures in the book.
*Note from Simon: this answer came after I had written the bulk of the review, and I am fascinated by the synergy between what I got from the book and what Doug intended.*
SIMON: Was it interesting writing about a subject that is local in both time and place rather than the ancient world or thrillers that range around the globe? Did you find anything different about the process?
DOUG: Probably the most difficult thing about writing a contemporary novel in a place you're very familiar with is to ensure that none of the events or locations comes across as mundane. When Glen Savage walks down a street or drives along a road he always has to be thinking something fascinating to do with the case, or his own, very specialised situation, and experiencing the sense of place very vividly.
SIMON: There is something of a religious conflict theme to the novel which in light of more recent events is actually quite current, but also runs the risk of that old chestnut of something you should never discuss. Were you nervous about touching on the religious theme and the relations between Islamic and Christian characters, and were you forced to make any changes to your story to avoid trouble?
DOUG: I had to think long and hard about some of the religious and cultural aspects of the book and the actions of some of the characters. But when you're writing a murder mystery about a contemporary killer whose actions are being driven by events that happened hundreds of years ago you're on relatively safe ground. The events and the inhumanity we see all around us every day go far beyond anything in the book.
SIMON: I have always been impressed by your level of research and knowledge when writing your Roman novels, but it is plainly obvious from your other works that you are well versed in the subject of the modern military. Added to that the police procedural aspects of War Games, and I'm led to ask how much your career in reporting and newspapers has contributed to your wealth of knowledge?
DOUG: My background as a journalist certainly helps. It is amazing the detail you pick up along the way. I've attended dozens of trials, several of them involving murder, and that gives you an insight into how the police work. That said I don't need too much detail about the likes of forensics and pathology because Glen only knows what he knows and any other information he gets is from internet research in the same way I do. I've always been interested in military matters. When I was young I wanted to join the army, but as I got older it became clear I was too much of a wimp. I have hundreds of books on the subject and have read many hundreds more over the years. As far as the army etc are concerned I'm comfortable in just about any age, though I sometimes have to research the fine detail. I love playing at being a general. If only they'd let me join at that rank, with a batman with a G&T at hand at all times.
SIMON: Despite writing novels based in the Roman era (a very superstitious time) and esoteric modern thrillers which touch on mysterious subjects, your protagonists have thus far all been solidly rooted in the pragmatic world. For all the realism of the lead character in War Games, the fact cannot be avoided that he is a Psychic Investigator. What led you to explore such an idea, and was it difficult keeping the 'real feel' of the novel with such an unusual lead?
DOUG: I think that if you're writing a contemporary detective novel in such a crowded genre your character has to have something that makes him different, so that and the fact that the police do call on psychics was the trigger for the psychic angle. The Savage character is actually based on a sergeant in the Scots Guards I met on a freezing day in Crossmaglen, young and very personable man, but hard as nails and probably the most – I think the word is competent – individual I've ever met. The most difficult part was deciding just how psychic to make him. He can't know too much or he'd just be able to point to the killer, and he can't use it too little or what's the point of having the ability. In the end I decided to make his powers sporadic and relatively unreliable, so that sometimes he's as sceptical of his ability as other people are. He's a man who exudes confidence, but his experiences in the Falklands have left him mentally fragile.
SIMON: Will there be another Glen Savage mystery?
DOUG: War Games is actually the second Glen Savage book I've written, but people I showed it to thought the first – Brothers in Arms – which documents what happened to him in the war, as well as investigating the mysterious deaths of some of his former comrades – worked better as a second book. The problem with that is that I had to incorporate several key introductory scenes from Brothers into War Games, so I need to do some rewriting before I self-publish it. I'm slightly off the pace with my current Valerius novel, so unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment but hopefully before Christmas.
Well all I can say is how much I enjoyed the book and how grateful I am that the author took the time to answer my questions. Thank you Doug for your insight.

With recent statistics from the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) pointing to a national decline in LCV registrations across all van segments, the latest figures may come as no surprise to commercial vehicle drivers and dealers.
Light commercial vehicle registrations fell by a further 5.3% during May as the market continues to rebalance. The entire LCV market has been braced for decline since the start of 2017 after a record level of new registrations last year and two-year long period of high demand. LCV dealer David Spear however is defying market trends, reporting a year-on-year sales increase of 22%.
"We have seen a slowdown since March 2017 but our business continues to perform well. We pride ourselves on presenting the right stock of new and nearly new commercial vehicles at the right price to our customers, and this ethos has certainly paid off in the face of a national decline in registrations," said Owner David Spear.
In addition to providing the right stock of LCVs and pickups, the firm's recent acquisition of a second site in Cardiff has been integral to their success. Thanks to their site in Cardiff, David Spear is well positioned to serve a greater range of commercial vehicle drivers and fleet managers than ever before.
"Cardiff has been an important addition to the business, and alongside developments at our Tredegar based headquarters, we have been able to enhance our offering to customers across the M4 Corridor, Wales, South West England, the Midlands and indeed the rest of the country. Marketing in relation to current trends has also proven to be beneficial to our position within the industry. An increasing number of people are reading our advice, news and insights, and getting to know more about the brand behind these features," concluded David.
According to SMMT, 26,982 new vans hit UK roads in May despite the fall in registrations. Trends are expected to continue in this manner, with the market remaining stable throughout the remainder of 2017.

TradeTheNews.com Weekly Market Update: From Beijing to Frankfurt
Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:37 PM EST
China and the ECB set the tone for global markets this week. Last weekend, the
Chinese leadership disclosed their economic projections for 2016 at the
National People's Congress (NPC), unveiling a GDP target range of 6.5-7.0%, as
well as a higher fiscal deficit level. China left its CPI target at +3%, and
cut its fixed asset investment growth to 10.5% from 15% prior. The changes were
largely in line with expectations, although enthusiasm was tempered by the very
weak February China trade report out later in the week. On Thursday, the ECB
launched another round of monetary policy stimulus, cutting all three of its
key policy rates and adding to its monthly QE bond buying scheme. Mario Draghi
warned markets that there would not be much more easing on tap from the ECB,
while simultaneously claiming that the ECB was not out of ammo. Thursday was
the seventh anniversary of the current bull market, as measured from the Monday
following the S&P500's ominous bottom at 666 on Friday, March 6th 2009. US
markets were flattish and devoid of much major news (beyond the continuing
political circus of the presidential nominating contest) until Friday, when
stocks surged higher. For the week, the DJIA added 1.2%, the S&P500 gained
1.1%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.7%.
Markets eyed the February China trade report with concern. China's trade
balance sank to a 10-month low in yuan terms and an 11-month low in dollar
terms, while yuan exports fell 20.6% y/y, their biggest annualized decline
since May 2009. Chinese exports have now fallen for eight months in a row,
while imports have contracted for 16 straight months. Shipments to the US,
Europe and Japan were all down about 20% y/y, racking up bigger declines than
high-single/low-double digit slippage seen last month. The data also explain
why last weekend Premier Li decided to skip 2016 projections for the trade
component of the economy. After the trade numbers, HSBC suggested that recent
hopes for a global rebound need to be tempered, as the figures clearly show the
downturn in global demand is not getting any better.
In its decision on Thursday, the ECB cut all three of its key rates, and
expanded the QE bond buying program by €20B to €80B a month. In something of a
surprise move the central bank also said that non-bank investment-grade
corporate bonds will now qualify for the buying program, vastly expanding the
universe of debt the ECB can choose from. Fears about the perilous state of
some banks remain a big problem for the euro zone recovery. While bonds issued
by banks still don't qualify for ECB buying, falling yields on other corporate
debt due to ECB buying will likely inspire investors to turn to bank debt for
yield. The ECB also eased bank funding costs by unveiling a new four-year TLTRO
loan program, which could carry interest rates as low as the deposit rate (now
cut to -0.4%). In the press conference, President Draghi suggested that there
would be no further easing (unless things got much worse), which somewhat
dampened the immediate response to the decisions. Draghi also took pains to
reiterate that the ECB is by no means out of tools or out of ammo. Buyers
snapped up Greek and Portuguese government bonds after the announcement, while
most other sovereigns sold off, sending yields higher.
The final reading of the fourth quarter GDP report confirmed Japan's economy
has dipped into contraction for the second time in three quarters. The final
reading was a bit less bad than the preliminary data, thanks to slightly better
corporate capex spending. There was more talk that the government would again
push back the second round of sales tax increase from the current April 2017
target date, with a key cabinet meeting scheduled for March 16th.
Commodity prices see-sawed through the week, following the ups and downs of the
Chinese economy. Chinese iron ore futures gained 19% on Monday, to multi-month
highs, topping an eight week rally, after Beijing set its 2016 GDP target
range, then reversed around half this rally on Wednesday after the brutal
February trade report - but then reversed higher through week's end. Other
major industrial commodities followed a similar trajectory. After following the
run-up in commodity prices over recent weeks, mining stocks saw steep losses
mid-week, although many of the global mining majors closed out the week flat,
with the exception of Vale, which is down 13% thanks in part to the chaos
devouring the Brazilian political leadership. Goldman Sachs published a note on
Wednesday arguing that deflation, divergence and de-leveraging would reapply
downward pressure on commodity prices in the near term.
The rally in crude oil prices slowed but did not stop, as WTI tested YTD highs
just shy of $39 and Brent equaled November highs above $40. Maneuvering ahead
of a potential oil production freeze summit continued. There had been talk that
OPEC and some non-OPEC nations would meet on March 20th in Moscow to seal the
deal, but officials said the inability to get Iran on board meant the meeting
would most likely take place in April. Sources say Iran is demanding to be
allowed to freeze production at its pre-sanctions production level of 4.0M bpd,
rather than current levels, which were just over 2.9M bpd in January. The
Kuwait Oil Minister said they would only join the freeze if "all major
producers" signed on, and threatened to sell "every barrel Kuwait
produces" if there is no deal.
Global banking giants Deutsche Bank and Citigroup both made cautious comments
at industry conferences about the business environment for banks in the first
quarter. Citigroup's CFO warned that revenue from equity and fixed-income
trading would fall 15% y/y in the first quarter, while investment banking
revenue would fall 25% y/y. Deutsche Bank's CEO said the seasonally strong
first quarter might turn out to be challenging for the sector overall, given
the heightened volatility in global markets.
United Continental CEO Oscar Munoz said he would return to work just two months
after heart transplant, and was welcomed back by a big push by two funds to
take control of the board. Holders PAR Capital (3.8% stake) and Altimeter (3.1%
stake) said they would launch their own slate of six board members and nominate
former Continental CEO Gordon Bethune as chairman, claiming the current board
is not holding management accountable. United said they had been engaged in
talks with the two firms, and also said they were disappointed the firms could
not reach a deal with management.
There was talk that BASF was mulling a rival bid for DuPont, which is in a
pending deal with Dow Chemical. According to reports, BASF had contacted DuPont
last year, before announcing a $130 billion merger agreement with Dow. Deutsche
Boerse is expected to formally announce a merger agreement with London Stock
Exchange next week. TransCanda disclosed that it was discussing a "potential
transaction" with an unnamed third party, following press reports that a
$10B merger with Columbia Pipeline Group was under consideration.

Top 5 Foods To Help You Quit Smoking
Most people who smoked really hope they won't, because they are aware of the risk associated with smoking and many of them really want to quit smoking, but think it's too hard.
The reason for this is because nicotine is a highly addictive substance. It messes with your mind and keep asking for more. There are many popular methods to help one quit smoking such as counseling, chewing gum, medication, and hypnosis. But did you know that certain foods and drinks could seriously come in handy when you're trying to quit smoking?
Yes, some of the common foods that you consume on a daily basis can be used as an effective way to naturally break the habit of smoking. Below are some foods that can help you to quit smoking:
1. Milk
According to a Duke University study, smokers who drank a glass of milk prior to smoking thought that the cigarette tasted terrible, with a bitter aftertaste. So drink some milk every time you have a craving (or dip your cigarettes in milk and let them dry), it will make you want to put out your cigarette.
2. Vegetables
Vegetables, such as celery, carrots, cucumbers and eggplant, also make cigarettes taste awful, just like milk does. Also, eating lots of these vegetables can reduce one's dependence on nicotine, according to experts. However, foods such as peas and corn should be avoided as these will stimulate one's desire to smoke again.
3. Ginseng
Studies have shown that ginseng can prevent the "pleasure" neurotransmitter dopamine from being released when you have a cigarette. One should not use this herb daily but only about 3-4 times a month. When taken weekly, it can cut back on the level of enjoyment you get from cigarettes.
4. Citrus fruits
Orange juice is acidic in nature and the compounds may help eliminate nicotine from the body. So if you want to kick the habit, start drinking orange juice twice a day or eat citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, or pomegranates, which are packed with an excellent source of vitamin C.
5. Salt
Some people find that eating something salty like chips or pretzels can help fend off cravings. You can even try a pinch of table salt to help you control the urge to smoke.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to quit smoking, the foods listed above maybe your best assistant. Remember to avoid alcohol, caffeine and red meat as they have the opposite effect of milk.

Actor sent home after 'violating' child co-star
Actor Tom Sizemore was allegedly sent home from the set of a 2003 film he was starring in after an 11-year-old co-star told her mother he'd touched her genitals.
The bombshell allegation is made in The Hollywood Reporter today, which reports that a dozen cast and crew members confirmed why the actor was sent home.
Sizemore was told to leave the Utah set of the crime thriller Born Killers, which was eventually released in 2005 under the name Piggy Banks, after the child actress reported the incident to her mother.Last Jedi set for $215m opening in US
No charges were laid, and Sizemore then returned to the film for reshoots several months later. He declined to address the allegations when contacted by THR, with his agent issuing a "no comment" response.
THR reports that the alleged incident happened during a photo session involving Sizemore and the young actress, who is now 26 and wishes to remain anonymous.
The child was required to be seated on Sizemore's lap during the photo session. This is when he allegedly either rubbed his finger against her vagina or inserted it inside.Camille Grammer opens up about cancer diagnosis
"The girl was so young it was unclear to her and [later] her parents what had actually taken place and if it was intentional or not," production manager Cassidy Lunnen told THR.
Another actor, Robyn Adamson, was present for the shoot but not in that shot, and watched the young actor as the alleged incident took place.
"At one point her eyes got just huge, like she could've vomited ... Later, when I was told about what happened, I knew exactly what it was," she said.Controversies rock Hollywood in 2017
By the next day, the girl had told her mother what had allegedly happened — and word soon spread throughout the crew.
Production assistant Roi Maufas said that Sizemore "was this guy who was already known for making inappropriate comments, being drunk, being high. We're talking about consistent behaviour, just being 'Tom Sizemore' on set every day. Then this happens. Guys reached for hammers."Assault laws in focus amid Weinstein saga
Sizemore vehemently denied the allegations when confronted with them on set, and the girl's parents did not press charges. Now, in the wake of the tide of sexual assault allegations going public throughout Hollywood, she is reportedly pursuing her legal options against both Sizemore and her parents.
Sizemore, 55, is best known for supporting roles in films including Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbour and Born on the Fourth of July. He's also made headlines for his frequent personal and legal problems, and has previously been charged with domestic abuse and drug use.

text: We have a never-ending amount of filthy paintings which come in for treatment, and I'm always amazed at how filthy they actually turn out to be. What seems like a dark, stormy sky can actually be a bright and sunny day! You might not even realize that the painting is dirty, since it's consistent throughout, but the results are undeniable. Some factors that could be making your painting dirty: 1) NICOTINE!!! If you smoke, your painting probably has a nasty orange tint to it. 2) Soot. If you've got paintings anywhere near a fireplace or oven, it's a safe bet they could use a cleaning. 3) Dust and dirt. If you live in an area which has a lot of congestion and/or traffic, chances are your painting is dirtier than it looks. Obviously if there are specific stains or damages it's easier to notice, but these are some of the things to look out for if there's a more even distribution of discoloration. Look how much this painting brightens!!

About 800 000 social grant beneficiaries were left helpless when they were not able to receive their grants on time at various paypoints, post offices and ATMs [1]. The social grant payment system is now run by the South African Post Office (SAPO) since April, including those grants paid in cash [2]. And in June, as part of its roll out of paying social grants, SAPO announced a new card for all SASSA beneficiaries which will prevent illegal deductions [3]. Changes to the payment system were also announced. This is where the problem is reported - a glitch in the payment system [4].
Grant recipients like Andile Ntombela, were unable to buy food or pay their rent because they did not receive their grants on time. Not only did they not receive their grants on time, they also incurred expenses from having to make additional trips to various paypoints over 3 days [5]. Some recipients have had to turn to abomashonisa for loans to put food on the table - something that the vulnerable who rely on social grants should never have to do. We know how banks like Grindrod have used predatory tactics to exploit social grant recipients by charging them for withdrawals [6].
Social grants are not enough to buy a typical basket of goods that those who rely on them need to get by for the month. With VAT having already reduced the spending power of a social grant, and the interest charged by abomashonisa as much as 40% of the loan amount, it casts a terrible picture of what some recipients are faced with.
Even though an apology was given for the glitch, this is not enough. Moreover, SAPO says it can't guarantee that something like this will not happen again [7]. The CEOs of SAPO, SASSA, and the Minister of Social Development must all be held accountable, and called upon to use their institutional resources and their own salaries to help pay off loan shark interest rates incurred by any social grant recipients due to this delay. And we know that they can afford it. Among nine prominent state owned companies, which SAPO is, the average CEO salary is R3.27 million [8]. And according to a January 2017 government gazette, ministers earn at least R2.3 million (9).
Our leaders need to be held accountable for this delay in payment because they ought to know that when social grants are not paid, it puts the vulnerable at greater risk. And nobody should have to be subjected to that.
Dear Minister Susan Shabangu, Minister of Social Development, and Mr Abraham Mahlangu, acting CEO of SASSA, and Mark Angus Barnes, CEO of SAPO
We, the undersigned, call on you to compensate those social grant beneficiaries who have not been paid due to the problem caused by the payment system, while many have now been paid, many were severely affected due to the payment delay, many have faced being evicted or penalised for unpaid rent, or having to go to loan sharks and now on top of the delay, they must pay off interest. As the leaders in charge, you must take personal responsibility and compensate beneficiaries. Part of this compensation must come from your own salaries. The changes to the payment system are good and in line with stopping unsolicited deductions from social grant beneficiaries, however social grants must be paid on time otherwise once again you are forcing the most vulnerable to turn to loan sharks.
We further call on you to ensure that this does not happen in the future.

Adventures in Subversion: Repository Migration
Adventures in Subversion: Repository Migration
I recently wanted to migrate our subversion repository at work from a local machine to a remote file server. This was due mostly to the fact that our new remote systems were running in a cloud based environment powered by VMWare. Along with our normal backups, this would provide us with high availability and a greatly reduced risk of loss.
The first step in the process was to figure out a way to migrate from one server to the other. This is a fairly simple task, but made a little more tedious due to the fact that we have a collection of multiple repositories. I decided to use a dump / load procedure to move from the local machine to the remote host. In order to make it as painless as possible, I wrote a bash script to automate the dump of the entire collection into a single directory that could then be archived up and copied across the WAN. The following is a copy of the backup script used:
#!/bin/bash # Subversion backup script for dir in `ls /var/www/svn/projects/`; do echo "Creating SVN dumpfile ($dir)" mkdir ./BAK_$(date +"%m-%d-%Y") svnadmin dump /var/www/svn/projects/$dir | gzip > ./BAK_$(date+"%m-%d-%Y")/svn.$dir-backup-$(date+"%m-%d-%Y").gz echo "Backup Complete ($dir)" done
Essentially this script loops through the repositories in the parent folder and creates a gzip dump of each in a folder that is time stamped for the current day.
After creating the dump file it was a matter of copying it to the remote server and reloading it. In order to accomplish this in a efficient manner, another bash script was required. This one takes the multiple from the dump directory, gunzips them, and loads them into the new location. Since this was a new installation of Subversion, the repositories needed to be created before the load. I used some string manipulation to get the original repository name from my backups, create the repo, and them load the individual dump files. There may be an easier way to do this, but I accomplished it using a bash script just as well. The following is the repository restore script:
#!/bin/bash # Subversion restore script echo -n "Provide the backup directory path to restore from: " read -e DIRECTORY for f in `ls $DIRECTORY`; do file=${f%-backup*} repo=${file:4} echo "Creating repo for ($repo)" svnadmin create /var/www/svn/projects/$repo echo "Loading repo ($repo)" gunzip -c $DIRECTORY/$f | svnadmin --force-uuid load /var/www/svn/projects/$repo echo "Load Complete ($repo)" done
Ok, now all the repositories are loaded. Now I just want to make sure that I can sync them up. This requires creating some hooks. Again I turned to bash scripting to make this easier than it would be touching each individual repository.
The first thing I ran into was that svnsync needs to have a hook file called pre-revprop-change available in order to work. The file just needs to be present, so I created on the fly. I wrote a quick bash script to create this file on both repositories so I could sync back and forth:
#!/bin/bash # pre-revprop-change script used for syncs for dir in `ls /var/www/svn/projects/`; do file=/var/www/svn/projects/$dir/hooks/pre-revprop-change OPT=$1 if [ ! -e "$file" ] then touch $file echo "#!/bin/bash"$'\n'"exit 0" >> $file echo "Adding hook owner and permissions ($file)" chown apache:apache $file chmod +x $file else echo "Removing hook ($file)" rm -f $file fi done
Once the pre-revprop-change file was in place on both sides, I could call the svnsync on a repo by repo basis, or just write another bash script to do it for me. I chose the later, but it required some setup in order to avoid being prompted for passwords when remoting. The easiest thing to do was create an ssh key on both sides and export it to the remote subversion host.
If you already have an SSH key, you can skip this step… Just hit Enter for the key and both passphrases:
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
Copy your keys to the target server:
$ ssh-copy-id id@server
id@server's password:
For the command line sync process I just used root to connect, but from what I understood, each side would need to have an svn user to perform the sync process. I created a user on both ends call svnsync to perform any actions needed. Following the normal procedures to create an additional users:
htpasswd -m /etc/subversion/users svnsync
Once this was done I wrote my syncing bash script to loop through the repositories. It would first init the repository and then perform a synchronization. Since I was doing this on a live subversion server, I would likely have to do this several times until I knew everyone had relocated their projects.
#!/bin/bash # Remote sync script SERVER=10.160.10.100 for dir in `ls /var/www/svn/projects/`; do echo "Syncronzing $dir to BTI repository" svnsync init --sync-username svnsync --sync-password SVNPASS svn+ssh://$SERVER/var/www/svn/projects/$dir \ file:///var/www/svn/projects/$dir --allow-non-empty svnsync synchronize --sync-username svnsync --sync-password SVNPASS svn+ssh://$SERVER/var/www/svn/projects/$dir \ file:///var/www/svn/projects/$dir done
Everything went rather smoothly and only took an hour or two to complete. This might not be the optimal way to perform a migration, but I felt it was straight forward and got the job done with minimal effort. I began working on a mirrored repository, making the local server a mirror to the remote one, but ran into issues performing a post-commit from the remote box. I'll still keep tinkering with the mirroring, but for now at least our versioning system is in a safer environment.

The project received funding from HEFCE's Catalyst Fund which seeks to address differences in outcomes for various student groups.
Project tackling barriers to Higher Education receives £500,000 funding boost
A pioneering new project, led by the University of Exeter, which seeks to tackle potential barriers faced by students with vocational qualifications when they enter higher education, has received a significant funding boost.
The pivotal project, called "Transforming Transitions" and led by Professor Debra Myhill, has today (March 9) received £500,000 funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
The project will examine and challenge potential barriers experienced by students with BTEC qualifications as they apply for, and then enter, higher education. The crucial project aims not only to address the gap between the number of students taking solely BTEC qualifications and those moving into Higher Education, but also identifying ways in which to smooth and aid their transition once they enter university.
The project will be conducted over the next two years in partnership with the University of Birmingham, Loughborough University and Queen Mary, University of London. It will also involve Exeter College, Leicester College, Hereford Sixth Form College, City and Islington College.
Professor Debra Myhill, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean for the College of Social Sciences and International Studies said: "We are very excited about this award because it will help us to understand better the transition from school or college to university, and enable us to ensure a successful student experience for all our students, regardless of their background."
The project is one of 17 projects nationwide, involving 64 universities and colleges, to receive funding from HEFCE's Catalyst Fund, which seeks to address differences in outcomes for various student groups.
The projects will particularly benefit those student groups affected by differential outcomes highlighted in previous HEFCE research, including black and minority ethnic students, students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, disabled students (including those presenting with mental health issues and specific learning difficulties), mature students and part-time students.
Madeleine Atkins, Chief Executive of HEFCE said: 'The significant response from higher education providers to this funding call demonstrates their commitment to ensuring all students benefit from a vibrant, inclusive, world-class higher education experience.
"Funding this programme will support real progress towards closing the unacceptable differences in outcomes between groups of students. We look forward to working with providers to make sure this targeted, evidence-led investment maximises outcomes for students – contributing to improved productivity and social mobility and, of course, individual opportunities."

Hi, I am Kelly Steindorf and live in San Diego CA. with my husband Marty and daughter who will soon be leaving for college. I will have more time on my hands to do the art that I so enjoy! I have done arts and crafts most of my life, starting with beading in grade school. I enjoyed macrame', drawing and painting. I was introduced to polymer clay through a sculpting artist who did dolls. That ignited my interest in doing more with the clay. I challenged myself to make a cane going off instinct of what needed to be done to make it look the way I wanted. Although my formal education was in Speech Pathology and Medical training my passion for expressing myself artistically over ruled the schooling. My art background brings an expertise in color blending and drawing to my creations. I have enjoyed adding mixed media to my polymer clay creations. I offer classes in polymer clay for all ages and experience level. I enjoy sharing my passion for the clay with others. – Kelly

The Kultube user has a unique range of powerful compression tools always available, from subtle unobtrusive compression to very obvious 'effect' compressions. Used conventionally or as an effect, in professional recording or mastering applications, the Kultube combines outstanding audio quality with the acclaimed musicality and user-friendliness that SPL units stand for.
Applications cover those of a classic compressor for vocals and instruments, in both mono and stereo, through stereo operation for subgroup processing to stereo mastering and multi-channel/surround projects.
Progressive Time Control
With the unique Progressive Time Control (PTC) option for attack and release, time constants can be optimised by unique circuitry that reacts both to the input signal and to the user settings - for example, fast impulses are intercepted by an attack time as fast as 20 us. PTC can be seen as an interactively controllable automation which is not based on fix presets but reacts to the audio material in a musically useful way.
Discrete Gain Cells
SPL has developed discrete, very high performance gain cells that are used instead of the usual VCAs and the Kultube is the first product to use them. They ensure the highest level of musicality and clarity in signal processing and demonstrate significantly improved distortion values over VCAs.
Tube Harmonics
The adjustable tube saturation of the output stages combined with automatic output level adjustment can produce tube sound effects that range from the delicate to the raucous whilst a useful decompressor mode can reanimate overcompressed material (such as samples).

text: I want to share with you the last day of winter climbing as the temperatures unexpectedly soared to 80 degrees, catching these winter tableaus unaware. In just one day the laurel is starting to blossom and the maple and dogwood buds have appeared. But you can see by the following pictures that the woods of New York State were still transparent, mysterious, and barren, and the slabs of granite free of foliage. I can't wait to return and show the unfolding of spring.
