The Austrian trial is continuing and is not expected to finish before the end of the year still and Jordan Halliday was found guilty of criminal contempt of court for not answering any questions to last year’s Grand Jury in Salt Lake and is presently set to go to prison in January 2011, see more about this later. Nicole Vosper, one of the UK SHAC prisoners who was sentenced recently (and will be released soon), echoed our thoughts in her recent letter: “After all the hype over the recent SHAC sentencing we need to take it back every moment to what this is all about - the animals; and as parting words from prison I wanted to write what I always think and feel - that this is not a game!

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

D OMESTIC box office standings take on values in this year of vanished foreign markets that are tremendous in importance. They are the only ratings that mean anything to the producer, director, player, and exhibitor. Gone—at least for years to come—are the days when known box office failures in the American market could be pushed to fabulous income heights and foisted on the suffering American exhibitor because of a shadowy "for¬ eign value.” Gone are the days—and we hope forever—when producers could know¬ ingly, and with "malice aforethought,” set out on the production of top budgetted pictures that would admittedly have no appeal to American mass audiences, earn no dimes for American exhibitors. All because of that same shadowy foreign market. ^ ^ So THE DIGEST ANNUAL comes to you at an opportune time.

  • Making Fire with Flint and Steel
    Making Fire with Flint and Steel. Early Failures Many survival or scouting books give different instructions on how one can start a fire with flint and steel. These books suggest various materials that are supposed to catch the spark (punk – the powdery dry rot from the insides of fallen logs, cottonwood fluff, fine dry grass, fine wood shavings, dry moss, and various lichens. The people who wrote those books had obviously never tried it. None of these materials work well, although they all make excellent small kindling once you have a fire started. Problem Solved The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines tinder as "a flammable substance used to kindle a fire, especially charred linen". When a spark hits charred cloth, it creates a tiny red spot, which slowly grows like a glowing fairy ring. It is impossible to blow out; in fact, the more wind there is the better, as the spark simply gets hotter and hotter. The only way to put it out is by suffocation (which preserves the rest of the charred cloth for future use), or by dousing it with water (which ruins the char cloth). The amazing thing is that charred cloth in windy weather makes it easier to start a fire with flint and steel than a match. Well, almost! Making Charred Cloth Here is how to put together your own tinder box, so that you can make a fire the same way that people did two hundred years ago. First, you will need some cloth. Linen is the traditional fabric, but 100% cotton works just fine, and it is a lot cheaper! Do not use synthetic or synthetic blend fabrics.

The author is a member of the Academy of Forensic Sciences.-EDITOR. Spontaneous human combustion is that phenomenon wherein the body takes fire without an outside source of heat and is rapidly reduced to a handful of greasy ashes. Paradoxically, inanimate objects nearby escape relatively unharmed. Preternatural combustibility implies a similar situation, differing from the spontaneous variety in that a spark or a minute flame is necessary to ignite the body which then undergoes incineration.
