Police Corruption
In this book, the writer exposes his harrowing journey against police misconduct and two tier police supported and protected by the courts. He details behaviours unbecoming of what is expected of officers of the law and the subsequent cover up. Blending court statements, evidential support and clear explanations, the narrative unravels the complexities of a flawed legal system which enables law enforcement to get away with crimes against society and to continue double standards. Included also are damming YouTube videos in support of the writer's complaint. The reader must make his own mind up as evidence can be interpreted in different ways and we all have a view seen through the rose coloured glasses of our experiences.
Make Cider without Fuss or Chemicals
Plans and operating instructions to make a domestic cider press and make cider. Have you ever had a surplus of apples, either from your own garden, or apples offered by a friend or neighbour during the Autumn glut? There is a limit to the number of apples you can keep in your garage before they start to rot and end up on the compost heap. Yet most varieties of apple can be used to make delicious fresh juice, or fermented to make real cider: quite different from most of the ciders sold in pubs and supermarkets. These so-called ciders are often made from fruit concentrates with added water, alcohol, flavouring, artificial sweeteners and fruit acids, chemical preservatives and sometimes with only a fraction of fermented apple juice. Real cider should be made only from fresh apple juice, with nothing added: no yeast, sugar, water, flavouring, sulphites, other preservatives such as citric acid, ascorbic acid, or anything else. This booklet gives a concise and easy to follow method for pressing your apples and making your own cider, or just preserving the juice as a delicious healthy non-alcoholic drink. It includes some valuable tips on the preparation and storage of apple juice and cider. Part 2 gives a detailed description with diagrams and photographs for the construction and operation of a high yielding apple press suitable for use in a garage or small outhouse. The author has over 18 years experience in the production of cider from trees in his own garden and has won prizes for his cider in local shows in Somerset.(c) Joe Bleasdalev1 July 2017

Danish Culture is an 'Extreme'
Danish culture is a bit like sitting around a campfire. This campfire could be anything from the daily tasks at work, at home, or to the larger welfare state. The members around this fire warm themselves with feelings of (extreme) equality, trust, homogeneity, tolerance, informality, privacy, sarcasm, irony, and dark humor. But what could all these mean to internationals who came to Denmark and want to join this circle?Danish Culture is an "Extreme" is a relatively small book that paints a certain picture of the Danish mentality and its implicit expectations. The book draws from existing socio-cultural, anthropological, and historical work on Danes and Denmark. It is a humorous, serious, and provocative book that battles through decoding known Danish values by finding out how they play out in real life and, not least, what they could mean to internationals and... Danes.

My Booster!
What difference can a dog make? I was about to find out. For two decades, my life was a cesspool of codependency. Fear consumed me. Life wasn't worth living. I'd "rescued" the two addicts in my life-one an alcoholic, another a crack addict. Then a puppy I'd foolishly gifted to my crack addict became "my" puppy when I learned it was destined to be traded for crack. I wholeheartedly resented the puppy because the damned thing was always happy, and I was always sad. As a way out of my spiraling life, I attempted suicide one night. I awakened in the morning to kids knocking on my camper door, wanting to play with the puppy. Fifteen minutes later, the puppy screamed in pain. I just knew he'd been hit by a car, likely dying, because everything in life was bad. I opened the camper door, expecting the worst, but the puppy had simply run into a parked car and hurt his paw. The puppy was crying, the kids were crying, and then I too began to cry ... uncontrollably. Suddenly, the puppy and I were one, both in pain. An epiphany ... a Helen Keller-like breakthrough that changed my life forever. I suddenly realized he'd tried to bring healthy people into my life, breaking the chains of codependency. I slept with that puppy in my arms for three days. Upon awakening, I looked deeply into his eyes, and promised him I'd share him with the world. That puppy, my Booster, saved my life ... twice! In My Booster, international service dog advocate and author Davis Hawn lays bare his life in the incredible story of Booster. Engaging, enlightening, hilariously funny and heartbreaking at the same time, their story shows the true power of the canine-human bond."Your and Booster's Value to the World are Inestimable!" -Dr. Bonita Bergin, Founder of the Service Dog Concept.

Homesteading For Beginners
Homesteading is more than just a lifestyle; it's a profound way of living that draws on both historical tradition and modern self-sufficiency. Originating from the Homestead Act of 1862, which offered land to settlers willing to cultivate and improve it, homesteading has evolved into a contemporary movement that celebrates independence, sustainability, and a deep connection to the land.At its core, homesteading embodies the pursuit of self-reliance. It involves cultivating a piece of land, growing one's own food, raising livestock, and minimizing dependence on external systems and resources. The homesteading lifestyle often integrates various practices, such as gardening, animal husbandry, food preservation, and resource management, all aimed at creating a more self-sufficient and sustainable way of life.For many, the allure of homesteading lies in its promise of a simpler, more fulfilling existence. The modern homesteader seeks not only to escape the frenetic pace of contemporary life but also to reconnect with the rhythms of nature. This lifestyle offers the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of food production, environmental stewardship, and the value of hard work. It provides a tangible way to make a positive impact on the environment while fostering a sense of personal achievement and satisfaction.Homesteading appeals to a diverse range of individuals, from those disillusioned with the complexities of urban living to those who feel a calling to return to their agrarian roots. It can be a response to various challenges, including rising living costs, environmental concerns, and a desire for greater autonomy. Whether undertaken on a small city plot or a sprawling rural property, homesteading is characterized by its adaptability and the personal commitment of those who choose it.However, the journey into homesteading is not without its challenges. It requires a significant investment of time, effort, and resources. Homesteaders must navigate the complexities of land management, acquire a broad skill set, and often face isolation from conventional societal structures. The transition involves learning how to manage diverse tasks such as growing crops, raising animals, and preserving food, all while balancing the demands of daily life.
