About this issuea note from the editor
This morning I popped into the Co-Op to buy milk for work and found
myself wondering what makes people more likely to do something
kind for someone else. I had been
listening to a podcast on TED talks about technology for the 5 senses
by Jinsop Lee. He was talking about why something is more likely to
appeal to us. He had come to the conclusion that it was partly down
to how each sense is stimulated in our consumption of a product,
activity or experience. Something that was pleasurable to 3 of the
senses was likely to be favoured over something that only pleased
one sense. The content of this podcast was not what got me
thinking about kindness, it was that by listening to it and feeling
challenged by a new idea, I felt energised, happier and more
fulfilled. I am convinced that it was this feeling of fulfilment that made me refuse areceipt for the milk and decide to donate that small gift to The Pulse this morning. It
wasnt a gift that will change the world, but it was a small act of selflessness that I
dont think I would have been so likely to commit had I been in a bad mood or deeply
tired. Everyone who works and volunteers at The Pulse gives something whether that
be unpaid time, ingredients, moral support or creativity.
It was these musings and a whole lot of generosity from people that gave us our
theme for the Autumn 2013 edition. Kindness.
What did you call me?
We have been toying with a name for our zine
and have come up with a few possibilities.
We stuck with Pulsin for the first one but we
would like to hear your suggestions.
Our other ideas are On the Pulse, How have
you Beancurd?, Peas on earth. Were sure
you will have fun coming up with some witty ideas!
What makes you more likely to do something good
for someone else? Do write in and tell us

3 coffees, please. 1 for now
and 2 suspended
A suspended coffee is an act of kindness. Youbuy the drinks you want, plus one or more to
suspend. The suspended drinks are then made when someone in need
asks if you have any suspended coffees. They receive the coffee you
brought earlier for free.
Suspended Coffee is a tradition which began in the working class cafes
of Naples in Italy - called Caff Sospeso. Someone who had had good
luck would order a Sospesosuspended coffee as a celebration andact of good will. A poor person asking later whether there were any
Sospeso would then receive one for free!
It has been reported that the chairman of Napolis football club buys 10
suspended coffees each time the team wins.
With the recent recession and Europe-wide economic crisis this idea has
become increasingly popular, and has spread worldwide thanks to the
internet and social media.
We are talking with Porchlight, the Salvation Army and other local
homeless teams to make sure people who could benefit from this
scheme know about it.
Check out the
Suspended Coffees Facebook page
and spread the kindness - buy your sus-
pended coffee at The Pulse Caf.

Why Im Veganby Tom Clother
For those with an interest in history and personal motivations, read on, this is myshake recollections of what convinced me to live as vegan a life as I could
manage.
Thirty years ago (1983) a large famine in Ethiopia (partly created by drought,partly by Ethiopian government actions) was big news worldwide. Images ofstarving babies, children and adults were constantly on the televisionnews. This made a big impression on me, and due to having an elder sister(Ginny) who had become a punk, and a vegan, I had had some exposure toarguments around land use and food production. Ginny had gone to study atthe London School of Economics in 1983, and gradually worked her waythrough different subcultures before finding her spiritual home in the anarcho
punk tribe. On her visits home she would bring ideas and music. The first singlethat she played to me which I really liked musically and forthe message was 'Religious Wars', by a group called TheSubhumans (a British band, though there was also aCanadian band with the same moniker). From there it wasbut a short slide to the hard stuff...........Crass, Poison Girls,Flux of Pink Indians ('Strive to Survive Causing Least SufferingPossible' LP, classic) and Conflict.
These groups were all of an anarchist outlook, mostly in
favour of vegetarianism and anti experimentation on animals for householdproducts, cosmetics, drugs and medical procedures. Ginny became a veganafter leaving home, and I ridiculed her decision for a year or two (my nature issmall 'c' conservative, I fear change), in a most annoying little brother way.
Animal Aid were a very active, exciting organisation around this time, with agood outreach to youth, and given support by quite a few of the influentialpunk bands. I joined Animal Aid, and learned how inefficient feedingpeople with animal products was, the abuses inherent in dairy and eggproduction, and that eating a vegan diet would not lead to a gradualwasting away, and lingering-or rapid...........death.
Zines (fan produced magazines) were also a valuable source of ideas,discussion and information (this was pre Internet era, remember), and helpedto shape my thoughts. At the time global nuclear war was something of aworry for a few of us, and there was the occasional demonstration against ourgovernments' stance vis a vis world apocalypse. These jolly gatherings wouldalways have some intrepid zine salespeople (from all over the UK) attending,allowing me to broaden my outlook further. Topics would often range overpolitics, nuclear holocaust, animal rights, feminism, ecology and more. The

best I ever came across (I got hold of two or three issues of it) was ReverseOrder, from Thurrock, in Essex (- if anyone knows more about it, please letme know). From all these sources I (slowly, slowly.....I was a mainly 'C' grade,with a 'D' and an 'E' grade student) learnt that I did not need to eat, orwear animals to be healthy, happy and comfortable.
Raising, keeping and killing animals for their eggs, milk, meat, skins orfeathers involves cruelty which harms the creatures and their humancaptors. Much more land, water and energy is needed to grow animalproducts for human consumption, than would be needed if we ate a plantbased diet. People are starving for want of food. (I know that a lot of this isdown to distribution, but it would still be impossible to feed the world atypical western omnivorous diet, and should we glory in foodapartheid? We are a global family, lets live and eat as one)
Also, while it is possible to live a reasonably healthy life as an omnivore, it is
easier to follow a healthier diet as a conscious vegan. It can even beargued that as a vegan you have a moral responsibility to look after yourhealth, to disprove those who maintain that a vegan diet can only lead todisaster. I then had to admit that I was wrong for making fun of big Sis,became a vegetarian at 17, then when I left home at 18, a vegan. AnimalAid were very helpful for recipes, as was the book Vegan Cooking for Oneby Leah Leneman (simple seasonal recipes, with suggested weeklyshopping lists, and singleton portions). To anyone thinking of becoming avegan, do your homework first, please, then...............go for it

Sustainable SheppeySustainable Sheppey is a new project funded through the Big Lotterys Community Living
Sustainability fund. The project will be studying renewable energy to see how it couldwork in the local area. Kent County Council are leading on the project and would likeyour views as a local resident. They are looking for you to identify what technologies andsites you may be interested in taking forward through community-led renewable energyprojects.
Renewable energy led by the community can help pro-duce local jobs and give people the power to have apositive impact on their community. Groups and indi-viduals can get involved and use the project as a way to
work together for a common goal. It can help people tobetter understand renewable energy and can addressany concerns people may have.
By using renewable energy, particularly energy produced locally, we are helpingreduce pollution and our dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and coal which arerunning out. Four potential renewable energy technologies have been identified for thisproject. Each option details the costs, the savings / income generation, the benefits andthe concerns.
BiomassBiomass refers to burnable material from wood or other plants. This usuallyincludes forestry residues, sawdust, straw, or fast-growing wood or grass plants. These
can be burnt in a large boiler to provide heat for a district heating system, or to pro-duce steam to generate electricity for a community.
MarineThe marine environment can generate energy in a number of ways, forexample: tidal current, tidal barrage (or range), ocean waves, marine biomass, windenergy. Opportunities for wave energy are limited for the Island and offshore windenergy is already being widely pursued and so this option focuses on tidal and biomassopportunities.SolarThere are two different types of solar panels. They take energy from the sun to
either heat waterSolar Thermal or generate electricitySolar PV.Wind - Small to medium sized wind turbines are the favoured size of wind turbine forcommunity renewable projects.

Food for Free!By Louise Allen
The autumn is my favourite time of year for foraging wild food. The el-
derberries and blackberries are plump and juicy, cob nuts, chestnuts
and walnuts hide in the hedgerows and mushrooms are nestled in the
fields and woodland. Thats all without the wild apples (no scrumping!!)
and plums that have sprung up around the countryside. When collect-
ing wild food, never take more than one third of the plant. This means
there will be enough berries, leaves or flowers for the plant to survive and
for other animals to eat.
Boost your immune system before the winter chill sets in with this delicious
Vitamin C rich hedgerow syrup recipe. Drizzle over puddings, porridge
or pancakes or add hot water to make a sweet and warming brew.
Hedgerow Syrup
Collect a cup of ripe elderberries (black and drooping on the stem butnot shrivelled), a cup of rosehips (plump and red) and 2 cups of black-berries (plump and juicy). Wash them and remove any green or dry ber-ries.
1.
Place the 4 cups of berries in a large pan with 4 cups fresh water.Simmer gently for about 45mins with the lid off until the water hasreduced to about half its original amount and the berries have re-
leased all their juice. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
2. When cool, strain through a jelly bag into a measuring jug.
3. Add approximately the same quantity of raw honey, agave syrupor sugar to the berry juice and stir until dissolved. You can use less
sugar but the mixture will not last so long.Bottle in sterilised preserving bottles and label. Store in the fridge.

The reasons to be a volunteer
Being a volunteer offered me a new way of life,
a challenge to focus on which held me up when I was sinking.
It's not for money.
It's not for fame.
Valuable is the work you do.
It's to see people happy when in need.
It's not for any personal gain.
It's just for love of fellowman.
Outstanding is how you always come through.
Loyal, sincere and full of good cheer untiring in your efforts throughout the year
to strive to a goalpost in which to score because of myself.
Ive met so many friends along the way people who i hold dear,
I feel like part of a family surrounded by people who care
and pick you up when youre feeling blue and let you no there's always something for
you.
It's just to send a helping hand.
It's just to give a tithe of self.
Notable are the contributions you make.
Trustworthy in every project you take.
Eager to reach your every goal,
effective in the way you fulfil your role.
That's something you cant buy with wealth.
It's not medals won with pride.
It's for that feeling deep inside, it's for that reward down in your heart.
It's just for comfort, and guidance in a working role to anyone who may have a
disability or learning difficulty.It's that feeling that you're being a part, far and
near, that makes you a volunteer.

Diary of a volunteerPart 1
Israel 2013by Christabel McCooey
19th June 2013- Morning Eurostar to Brussels
Flying to Israel! On the train to Brussels. Been napping. Going to European Advo-
cacy. Sent off application to Speak, or part of it at least. Passing through Lille. Im
not sure what this trip will have in store. But Im excited. I cant believe Im going.
And I think Ive come far in being able to leave the family to deal with the ten-
sions themselves. Its really not my problem to solve.
Prayers for trip:
Please let me meet you God in all things, places, people.
Let it be a unique, once in a life time trip.
Let me meet amazing people.
Let me build friendships with Jewish people.
Give me charisma, charm, beauty and grace in all I do and speak. Give me in-
tuition to see what people need to hear and the humility to listen to what they
have to say to me.
Let me see how precious life is and all the wonders of the little things in them
Please plan my trip to perfection God, seeing as I have let that to youlet me
know locations and times to leave, let it feel right.
Let me see something new about lifelet me find a new truth about you.
(There was a David Bowie look-a-like sat opposite me, I was drooling in my sleep Ithink)
19th June 2013Evening
A great dayfull packed. I felt a bit reminiscent of Christian concern in the con-
servative
one-sided stance but I asked two questions and had positive feedback. Met two
nice Christians Maryssa and Conrad. I must resist the urge to judge but I realise my
tendency to not swallow
anything as the truth without due reason and logic and argument is God-given
and integral to my relationship with Him. Its how we began. I spoke to them both
about it and to Sophias mother who converted to Catholicism and wrote two
booksshe said youll know when its the right time to write.

Calvin Duncan was put on Death
Row despite being innocent. It
took him over 30 years to prove
his innocence. He now helps oth-ers facing injustice.
I also found that racism and discrimination existed within the courts and police force
themselves, meaning that ethnic minorities would be far more likely to get a death sen-
tence than a white person who had committed the same crime. Therefore, whilst the
death penalty might make sense in theory, the way it targets the most vulnerable and
poorest people in society in practice makes it hard to defend as a fair and effective solu-
tion to crime. This is without considering the many mistakes that the justice system makes -
currently 360 innocent people have been proven innocent who wouldve been killed.
Kindness comes when we try to understand why people behave the way they do so that
we can tackle the root causes of crime and find lasting solutions, instead of believing
that taking another persons life will truly heal the wounds caused be crime.
- by Christabel McCooey
The death penalty is a difficult topic to talk about for many people and something we
dont often think about in the UK. This year I spent 6 months volunteering in New Orleans,Louisiana with people dedicated to ending the death penalty in America. What I saw
changed my views and beliefs about what it truly means to deliver justice in society. It
also raises questions about whether kindness should play a role in our efforts to deal with
serious criminal behaviour.
What most people imagine when they think of Death Row inmates is that they
must be incredibly savage and sometimes evil; that no one would be sentenced to
death by the State unless they had done something profoundly wrong. What surprisedme was that often it wasnt the worst of the worst criminals facing the death penalty,
but the poorest of the poor, those who couldnt afford a good lawyer at their trial. Most
had spent their young life in poverty surrounded by gangs, drugs and violence and
nearly all had suffered great abuse as children. There was also a very high rate of mental
illness and learning disabilities amongst people on death row, yet they rarely received
any support or help inside or outside of prison.

Writing Your First Poem
Most people think that they cant do poetry. But the great thing is, poems
can be written in whatever way or style you like. There are no fixed rules. For
example, poems do not have to rhyme, they could just be a few lines of your
thoughts.
Here is an exercise to get you started.
Write down 5 things you know to be true, dont think too hard about it!
Now write down 5 things you would like to know are true or not.
Look over your answers for a few minutes.
Choose an idea or thought that stands out to you from your answers.
What are the first words that come to mind when you think about that
answer?Begin writing those words down. You will have the first line of your poem!
This is exercise is helpful to do with a friend so that you can swap ideas.
