Below will be listed any new update's that I have added
so that you do not have to search the site for any new information if you
have visited before although this will be only be general information
rather than specific.
Please note, the web counter
on this website as they do on all other websites and whether they are visible or
not, collects a little information about visitors and although does not
specifically identify any person does collect the IP address of the
computer being used. This IP address can be traced by the persons
Internet Service Provider which is also collected. The information also
tells me how long a person has been on the website and how many pages
have been viewed. This information has led me to believe that one or two
individuals are plagiarizing the web site and if necessary legal action
will be taken.
