GLPF Meeting Archive
Burundi Programs
DRC Programs
Rwanda Programs
Wednesday, May 29th from 9:30am to 11:30am
Kenney Auditorium
Johns Hopkins - SAIS
1740 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington D.C. 20036
Since the signature of the Addis Ababa Peace Agreement, the Great Lakes Region has received a lot of attention from the International Community. At the same time, the new UN Stabilisation Plan for Eastern DRC will focus more on the root causes of conflict, and will advocate for a multi-level, long term peacebuilding approach. Both processes constitute opportunities and threats to the stability of the Region. This month's GLPF will explore the possibilities of in-depth, long-term conflict transformation, while exposing possible dangers of the renewed attention.
Andrea Lari
Director of Programs, Refugees International
Pieter Vanholder
Country Director, DRC, Life & Peace Institute
Thank you to Pieter Vanholder and Life & Peace Institute for kindly organizing this Great Lakes Policy Forum.
Andrea Lari joined Refugees International in 2004, and currently manages the organization's program research, policy, and advocacy work. He has conducted field missions to countries in the Great Lakes of Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa, the Middle East, and Colombia and the Andean Region. The focus of the missions has been the protection and humanitarian response to displaced people, as well as looking at durable solutions for those groups through the processes of return and reintegration, resettlement and relocation, and local integration. Before joining RI, Mr. Lari was a researcher for Human Rights Watch where he focused on Angola and forced displacement. He began his humanitarian work as a volunteer with Jesuit Refugee Service in Angola. He then served as the organization's country director in Angola from 1998 to 2000, and went on to conduct humanitarian needs assessments in Pakistan and Afghanistan in early 2002. Mr. Lari grew up in Italy, where he became involved in projects assisting refugees in Croatia and Albania early in his career. He has a Master's degree in Political Science from the University of Bologna, where he wrote a field-based final thesis entitled, "Human Rights Protection of Guatemalan Refugees in Southern Mexico." He also completed the International Summer School at the Refugee Studies Program in Oxford. Mr. Lari's native language is Italian, and he is fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Pieter Vanholder holds a Master's degree in Law, as well as a Special Master in "Law and Development Cooperation", obtained at Ghent University (Belgium) in 2003. After his studies, Pieter continued to work for the University as Project Coordinator for an EU-funded Partnership Program between the law faculties of Ghent University and Mekelle University (Ethiopia). In 2005, Pieter opened the Country Office for Oxfam Solidarity in DR Congo. For three years, he led that office as Country Director, developing programs with a special focus on food security and rural development. In 2008, Pieter became Country Director for the Life & Peace Institute (LPI) in DR Congo, a position he currently holds. LPI strives to transform conflicts at local, national and subregional level. It does so through civil society support, lobbying and awareness raising, as well as through the enrichment of conflict transformation theory.
The Great Lakes Policy Forum is open to the public and all are welcome to attend. All comments are on the record but not for attribution.

10 Things to do in Nashville this Spring
We invite you to experience for yourself what makes Nashville special during the Spring months. It's a city that resonates with life and vibrates to the beat of every kind of song. It's a town that sizzles with American music, Southern hospitality, unbelievable cuisine and a boundless spectrum of nightlife. Come join us and together we will keep the music playing! Also, make sure to check out what new things Nashville has to offer while listening to the "Spring Break Playlist" and plan your trip to Music City!
- Hit the Hall — Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This isn't just a museum; it's an experience with something for everyone. Rhinestone costumes, seasoned instruments, and tear-stained lyric sheets are only the beginning, as the museum is home to the largest collection of country music artifacts in the world. Current exhibits include The Bakersfield Sound: Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and California Country, and Reba: All the Women I Am. Don't miss the Music City Walk of Fame across the street in Walk of Fame Park, where music celebrities who lived, worked and played in Nashville are commemorated with sidewalk stars. Speaking of stars, make sure to check out The Johnny Cash Museum dedicated to the life and music career of the late "Man in Black" which features the largest and most comprehensive collection of Johnny Cash artifacts and memorabilia in the world.
- Ride the Row — Take a tour of Music Row and visit historic RCA Studio B, the famous recording studio where Elvis recorded over 200 songs. Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold and many more recorded classic hits here. Not surprisingly, the heartbeat of Music City is driven by music—from country to classical.
- Visit the Home Of the Greek Gods — In Nashville's Centennial Park, you'll find the world's only full-scale reproduction of the ancient Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The Parthenon houses an art gallery and museum as well as Alan LeQuire's Athena Parthenos. Standing at almost 42 feet in height, Athena is the tallest indoor sculpture in the Western world.
- Take In a Songwriters-In- the-Round Show — One of the most unique ways to hear music in Nashville is at a songwriters show. Typically called a "writers night", songwriters are put somewhere where they are not used to being - in the spotlight. Several singer/songwriters will play 'in-the round' as they sit on stage accompanied only by a microphone, a guitar and their immense talent. These shows can be found in small, intimate clubs all over town, including the famous Bluebird Cafe. Don't forget to check out the world's largest songwriter festival known as Tin Pan South, March 25-29. Join the 9,000 fans that flock to the city to see 92 shows from 350 songwriters at 10 venues over the course of 5 days.
- Time To Shop — Check out the unique shopping Nashville has to offer. Stroll through the great antique stores and boutiques that fill neighborhoods like East Nashville, 12South and Hillsboro Village. Shop for loved ones, or pick up something special for yourself at Opry Mills, Tennessee's largest outlet and value retail shopping, dining and entertainment destination with more than 200 stores.
- Visit the Ryman Auditorium — Sure, it's called the "Mother Church of Country Music," but artists as diverse as Jon Bon Jovi and Tony Bennett perform on its legendary stage. Since 1892, the world's greatest stars have headlined the Ryman Auditorium, from Caruso to Cash. You can take a backstage tour and record your own song in the Ryman recording studio.
- Take a Timeless Journey — The stars of the Grand Ole Opry perform every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday night with guest appearances by the biggest names in music. With 87 years under its belt, it's the world's longest-running radio broadcast and shows no signs of slowing down.
- Salute — Three U.S. Presidents called Tennessee home - Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson. You can revisit the past at The Hermitage, Home of President Andrew Jackson. Polk is buried on the grounds of the historic State Capitol building.
- Visit Honky Tonk Highway — Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Legends Corner, Second Fiddle, The Stage, Bluegrass Inn and Robert's Western World are all experts at serving up cool longnecks and hot country music. You never know who you'll see in these Lower Broadway clubs in the shadow of the Ryman. Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Gretchen Wilson, Dierks Bentley and other stars began their careers on Lower Broad.
- Special Events — Spring in Nashville features a full slate of festivals, concerts, and theatrical performances. Flowers begin blooming and the sounds of music fill the air. Music City celebrates the month of April with Awesome April, a musical tribute to the city that promises several major events to cure spring fever. Throughout the month, visitors can see live performances from some of the best songwriters in the world at Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival or sit under the sun and stars while listening to some of today's hottest artists at Rites of Spring music festival. Take in a potential Oscar-nominated documentary at the Nashville Film Festival or run the Country Music Marathon & ½ Marathon while being serenaded by more than 50 bands.

Orginal Fit Signature Knit Pull-On Cropped Pants 4 4
Product not true to photo This cropped pant, at the calf, is huge and not at all like the photo. Also, I got white, which can be seen through. Because of the see-through fabric, I am returning these pants. April 9, 2014
liked the concept - individual pants irregular Good fit. Looked good over several wearings and knees did not "bag out." Specific pair sent to me had inner leg seam that didn't catch - 2" gap. I repaired it. February 26, 2014
navy capris These are of excellent quality and a very good fit. They are very comfortable without being too casual. February 17, 2014
Great Buy As comfortable as pajamas, these pants are great for travel and every day. I first ordered the large because I usually wear a Size 14 and don't like tight pants. The large was way too loose so I exchanged for a medium and the fit is perfect. The small inside pocket is open at the top and large enough for credit cards or some money. February 4, 2014

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To monitor insulin production by the beta cells in the pancreas and to help determine the cause of hypoglycemia
When to Get Tested?
When you have diabetes and your doctor wants to determine if you are producing enough of your own insulin or if it is time to supplement oral medication with insulin injections or an insulin pump; when your doctor suspects you have insulin resistance; and when you have documented hypoglycemia
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm and sometimes a 24-hour urine sample
Test Preparation Needed?
Ask your doctor if you need to fast before having this test performed.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of C-peptide in a blood or urine sample. C-peptide is a substance (a short chain of amino acids) that is produced when proinsulin, an inactive molecule, splits apart to form two molecules. One molecule is C-peptide and the other is insulin. C-peptide is produced at the same rate as insulin, making it useful as a marker of insulin production.
Insulin is vital for the transport of glucose into the body's cells and is required on a daily basis. It is produced and stored in the beta cells of the pancreas. When insulin is required and released from the beta cells into the bloodstream in response to increased levels of glucose, equal amounts of C-peptide are also released.
C-peptide can be used to help evaluate the production of insulin made by the body (endogenous) and to help differentiate it from insulin that is not produced by the body but is taken in as diabetic medication (exogenous) and so does not generate C-peptide.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. If a 24-hour urine sample is required, you will be asked to save all of your urine over a 24-hour time period.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Usually you will be asked to fast for 8 to 10 hours before having a C-peptide blood test.

With the passage of the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act,
Congress aims to amend the Animal Welfare Act to
restrict the use of exotic and wild animals in traveling circuses and traveling exhibitions.
Traveling circuses are detrimental to animal welfare because of the adverse effects of captivity and
transport. Due to severe confinement, lack of free exercise, and the restriction of natural behaviors,
animals used in traveling circuses suffer and are prone to health, behavioral, and psychological problems.
Careful research and detailed undercover investigations have shown the welfare of animals and safety
of the public is unacceptably compromised under the confinement and the daily brutality of life on
the road with a traveling circus. Law enforcement authorities have difficulty enforcing Federal animal
health, safety, and welfare laws, and violations. Due to the mobile and transitory nature of traveling
circuses, law enforcement cannot properly monitor the conditions of the animals or follow up on previous
infractions by the traveling circuses.
Congress has a responsibility to protect the welfare of animals and ensure public safety.
A prohibition on the use of exotic and wild animals in traveling circuses is proportionate,
responsible, and the least expensive solution to this problem.
Reasons to support the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act
Please support and pass the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act,
the bill that will Break the Chain of circus suffering.

One Assassination Attempt Prevented. How Many Others?

One Assassination Attempt Prevented. How Many Others?
http://www.smh.com.au/news/us-election/ ... 84926.html
How many other attempts will President David Palmer... er, Barack Obama have on his life, if elected? This is the second I:ve read about thus far, and Election day was still eight days away.
Re: One Assassination Attempt Prevented. How Many Others?
At least a couple more. We have thousands of KK members and if 1% actually want Obama dead and are willing to die to do it then..........
Good point, ahh... howx bout how many planned assinations will be stopped before they are carried out. I dont even wanna think about stopping a attempt!
Re: One Assassination Attempt Prevented. How Many Others?
Neo-Nazi Obama Plot One of "A Handful" of "Serious" Threats Against Obama
Secret Service Reports Record Number of Assassination Threats
ABC News -- The arrests Monday in an alleged neo-Nazi assassination plot against Sen. Barack Obama involve one of a handful of serious threats against the Democratic presidential candidate, federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
The officials say Obama has been the target of well over 500 threats, most of which are not taken seriously.
But in an estimated dozen or so cases, the threat was considered serious enough that law enforcement agents were assigned to track down suspects.
I believe that if the Secret Service was able to keep Bush alive for 8 years, despite repeated trips abroad, they should be able to keep Obama alive. My guess is that there are as many, if not more, people on this planet who want to see the former dead as the latter. Furthermore, I would suspect that the type of people who would like to assassinate Bush are a lot more experienced at carrying out such operations than those who would like to assassinate Obama.
I'm not sure that experience is relevant. I think about all of the well-publicized attempts to assassinate presidents and I have the impression that these were mostly novices who were either fanatical in their beliefs, or deranged, or both.
I don't think that JFK's assassin(s) was a novice. By the way, can't you be a fanatic and experienced at the art of assassination/terrorism?
Yes, of course. But I worry more about the loon with no experience at all, just a fixation on doing this terrible thing for reasons that only he or she underrstands.
I'm not sure who chooses and hires and trains those in charge of protecting a President or a Presidential candidate. But if guys like Dick Cheney and friends are anywhere around that process, I would be nervous.
Also some news headlines developing today will include:
* Sales of assault weapons spike before election (in case "that one" gets elected, apparently).
* Election of Obama would be an Apocalyptic event, according to some extreme Right religious folks.
Not exactly comforting stuff.
A couple of weeks ago the wife and I took a gun usage/safety class. The instructor, who runs a scuba shop and does firearm training and other associated work as a sideline, says that thanks to the economy his scuba stuff is dead in the water (pun intended) but his firearms business is off the charts.
He was not what I consider to be rational, but he knew a lot about guns . . .

Friends of the man, who has not been identified pending notification of next of kin, called the police at about 9 p.m. Saturday. The victim had been inner tubing with friends on the Truckee River throughout the day and was last seen in the area of Oxbow Park in Reno. After searching for the victim themselves, the friends called the police and a search was initiated by Reno police, Reno fire and Washoe County Sheriff's Office. Reno police officers soon located and recovered the victim's body from the river in the area of Idlewild Park.
The death appears to be the result of an accidental drowning, according to police. With the onset of summer, the Reno Police Department reminds the community to be cautious of strong currents and low temperatures of the Truckee River. Those participating in water activities on the river are encouraged to use proper safety equipment, including life vests.

The Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service will host the meeting, described as an open house, which aims to educate the public on the processes that allow drilling in the forests, the types of drilling and how the drilling would be monitored.
Last year, 43,000 acres in the Talladega National Forest were among a list of forest parcels for which leases were scheduled to be auctioned in June 2012. After criticism from environmental groups and a public outcry, including pressure from U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, the land was removed from the sale.
The meeting was scheduled in part "because there were so many protests when the Talladega parcels came up," said Shayne Banks, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Land Management.
The open house will allow people to visit with experts from the Forest Service and BLM as well as state agencies.
The event is strictly informational and not a prelude to a lease sale, Banks said.
The requirements for putting federal property up for lease don't include public meetings by the BLM, Banks said. The process starts with an expression of interest from a company on a particular parcel. Then the BLM and the management agency for that property review the request. If the management agency, for instance the Forestry Service, agrees, it gives consent for the lease sale.
Once BLM receives consent, it creates a document which outlines the conditions and lease stipulations, Banks said. BLM notifies the public on its website 90 days before a parcel is scheduled for a sale. The first 30 days of that notification period is the protest period, Banks said.
At this time, the BLM website for the Eastern states office, to which Alabama belongs, has a notice it posted on Dec. 21 listing parcels in Louisiana, Michigan and Mississippi for lease sale on March 21.
The notice also gives instructions on how to protest a sale.
There were no parcels in Alabama being reviewed for inclusion in a sale according to the BLM website on Tuesday. Banks said the sales are held quarterly.
Stephanie Neal Johnson, director of public affairs for the U.S. Forest Service, said the open house is about informing people of their role and rights in the process.
"People interested in that process should come and learn how it works," Johnson said.
The meeting will be April 25, 3-6 p.m., at the Gateway Park Lodge, 3800 Davenport Drive, Montgomery.

Bottom's up.When British Prime Minister David Cameron left his 8-year-old daughter in the pub, there were no doubt plenty of snide remarks made around the world about us Brits and our alcohol intake.
A new study by British charity 4Children is only likely to add fuel to that fire. Entitled Over The Limit: The Truth About Families and Alcohol, among the report's findings were the following troubling statistics:
- 22% of children live with a parent who drinks hazardously
- More than a third of all domestic violence cases involve alcohol
- 19% of parents believe that drinking alcohol has a positive effect on their parenting
This last statistic particularly caught my eye - because depending on how the question is worded, I might actually be one of the 19%.
Read More: Real Parents Weigh In: Would You Serve Alcohol to Your Teen At Home?
I do not, for a moment, suggest that I am a better parent after I have had a drink - but I am not sure I am a worse one either. I do think that regularly taking time for myself, which includes enjoying the occasional beer or glass of wine (usually after the kids have gone to bed), has a positive influence on my overall wellbeing. And overall wellbeing contributes to better parenting.
Read More: Do You Drink In Front Of Your Kids?
But I am clearly biased.
I grew up in Britain, where family afternoons in the pub are considered a perfectly normal, pleasant way to spend your Sunday, and where "strict rules" over teen alcohol use are more about where, when and how much teens are allowed to drink - rather than a blanket prohibition. As such, I confess I have struggled with some of the more puritanical attitudes of US society.
Read More: Teen Marijuana Use Up, Alcohol at Historic Lows
When I wrote about whether you drink in front of your kids, for example, I was actually surprised this was even a question. After all, if you drink but hide it from your children, doesn't that send the worst kind of signals to those you are trying to bring up? Yet looking back now at my home country with my (sober!) expat glasses firmly in place, I have to ask whether those idyllic afternoons in pub gardens were as healthy as I remember them.
I was lucky to have parents who rarely overindulged, and who were responsible about making sure someone was "on duty". But I have seen plenty of occasions where other parents - some of whom are acquaintances - are visibly drunk infront of their kids. Perhaps more tellingly, I don't remember anyone being too concerned about it - myself included.
The legal, socially acceptable status of alcohol means we as parents must be self-critical and culturally aware. I continue to struggle with overly puritanical attitudes to alcohol. You can't legislate away all harm or risk, and you have to allow parents to kick back and relax - perhaps even be a little selfish from time-to-time. But there is a profound difference between the occasional self-indulgence and over-indulgence. And while I am comfortable that my own family's attitudes to alcohol are well within safe, sensible limits - I am also aware that I have failed to call out friends for whom this may not be the case.
This study is a useful reminder that some of the attitudes and behaviors we take for granted may be masking real harm.
It's a sobering thought.

JESUS MAN this stuff is really great. Keep up the great work, I like the chainsaw wings girl (im very fond of chainsaws), i like them all!.
Thank you all very much!!!
I'm trying hard to make things different. Here is an attempt at scenery. I was an environment of a city, decades after an earthquake.
I needs lots of help of enviros. So don't pull any punches.

Ha ! Ha ! Something very different, here ! I'm glad to see ya pushing things in other directions/subjects. It's cool, Loren !
Julien ALDAY
lovely strong style, great pencils !
i just planely love it!
Decades after earthquake? Yeah, all signs of sudden impact is gone mostly. Everything is soothing and softened and wild I have to add, but not in the aggressive way. I like this feeling of small slow patient changes in the nature, step by step, inch by inch, persistently. I think you chose this curvy, delicate manner on purpose, I have this association with nature stealthily pulling everything to a different direction from your lines, they are very fine and soft.
Hey man I'm not seeing the city in this. The only indicator for it having been something modern is the telephone pole. It does feel like what ever happened was in the past and the erosion of the road and the overgrowth works well. I'm not very good at enviros either but what I've seen that works well is using a wider shot of the scene.
Keep at it.

Oh I love "another girl" loren, she's foxy! Very solid drawing dude. Man I want that! hehe gimme some time, I will do some pencil drawings and we can trade some! hehe how u doing anyways?

Bengonzalez - Yeah, I really did'nt do well at what i was going for, hey? Those guys who can hammer out enviros all the time are gods!!
Min - Thanks a bunch, buddy. I saw your new sketch book pages, and I'm loving them. All the hand,s wow!!! I'd love to trade!! Come to the workshop, please?
Some ideas for the this week's EOW in thumbnails...
But I started thinking of another character to go along with the last few I've posted. I wanted a manlier villain. I don't find androgenous guys too scary when they do alot of physical fighting.. But.. I tried adding a bit of scenery. I may go ahead and paint this one

Ah color. Skin is one of those things that is so hard to paint. for a quick paint I say not bad. I like how you established some of the highlights and shadows in it. All that you need to do now is clean it up.

I'm really impressed with the way that your people always have very tangible expressions on their faces... It adds a lot to your stuff, ya know? Oh, and I downloaded your avatar as a screen saver for my cell-phone. Can't wait to meet ya and do some sketching up in montreal!
Hey Interceptor!
Really cool work, love the girl in the mask, hatching on the face looks awesome, think I see some of wes' influence in there.
The chow looks good so far, the composition and expression are very strong, involving. Design-wise I feel the character is a bit plain, could be taken further.
Im curious where you go with it, keep it up!

Episode 12 - Destruction of Time
Handley & Dean Rose Talks us Through the Making of TDMP...
Since the reconstruction teams started around seven years ago, The Daleks' Master Plan has been one of the most eagerly anticipated reconstructions. Indeed, the reconstruction by Harold Aachatz of the The Nightmare Begins was one of the first recons to be circulated. Although this was a very brave attempt, it highlighted for everybody how difficult this story would be to tackle well with such a limited amount of original material surviving.
We began gathering source material for this reconstruction around 1997. One of the first pleasant surprises was how clear the surviving audio recordings were, and how many different copies were available. Prior to this we had only heard multi-generation copies of Richard Landen's recordings, which even then were in quite reasonable condition. David Holman's copies, however, were much superior to these, and Graham Strong's recordings of the latter episodes even better. With so many different sources it was a relatively straightforward process to piece together the best bits from them all.
There turned out to be a surprisingly large amount of original photos taken for DMP. However, most of these originated from the story designers and very few featured material that could be used directly. There were around fifty pictures taken of the Pyramid model that featured in episodes nine and ten, but with episode ten surviving, these were largely redundant! Most of the official BBC publicity pictures taken originated from episode three, but amazingly the only Dalek to feature in these is very much in the background.
A few months after we started on the reconstruction, we were contacted by Chris Petts, a professional 3D animator, who offered to help out with the reconstruction. Chris had already created some 3D Dalek models and the Dalek control room from Mission to the Unknown. Chris's Dalek models looked great, but after several pages of critical observations to correct small details they looked even better!
Chris provided us with a selection of still Dalek images with accompanying image mattes to allow us to easily copy and paste the Dalek images onto any background. Chris eventually built up four distinct models for the Daleks in the story with details like the old and new style arm boxes included, and even one with the repaired neck ring, which featured prominently on one of the original Dalek props.
Chris's CGI Daleks are used throughout the reconstruction and without them we would have been unable to achieve anywhere near as much variety and clarity in the pictures used.
A second 3D modeller, Stuart Palmer, contacted us some time after this offering us his help. Stuart, a keen amateur modeller, sent through an image he had created of the alien delegates assembled around the conference table and renders of the interior of the Dalek time machine. Although not up to Chris's professional standard, Stuart's work showed much potential and as Chris was having trouble finding enough time to support us as much as he'd have liked to, we asked Stuart to start on some modelling too.
Another element of the reconstruction process introduced for this story was a new, more accurate font for the opening episode titles and closing credits. Having tried in vain to find a commercially available electronic version of the exact font used, we turned to other means. The original title captions were prepared using 'Letraset' transfers. A search through an old Letraset catalogue soon located the exact typeface originally used 'Grotesque 7'. Similar 'Grotesque' fonts were available in electronic form, but did not match completely. We therefore scanned in each letter from the catalogue and created our own 'Hartnell' font using font creation software. By superimposing the newly created font over screen grabs from existing episodes we were able to tweak the character spacing and size exactly to fit the original typeface.
Special Features
The introduction to both tapes from Kevin Stoney was filmed a few years ago, when we interviewed him for The Invasion recon.
The Jean Marsh interview was filmed in October 2001 at Tenth Planet bookshop. Jean was there for a signing session and our friends at Tenth Planet very kindly closed the shop for ten minutes for us to film an interview with her.
We did try to get Nicholas Courtney to record an introduction to the tape and to narrate the mini-documentary feature. He had agreed to help out, but unfortunately other commitments meant that he simply could not spare the time. As a backup, we arranged for Edward de Souza, who had previously helped so much with Mission to the Unknown, to record the narrated features for the first tape introduction and Stuart's 'Destroyers' feature.
