The number of children entering the child protection system has risen dramatically in the last three years with implications for children's services and partner agencies. This timely volume takes a critical look at the impact of the Munro Review (2011) on child protection and the Government's response. It looks at questions including how effective Local Safeguarding Children Boards are in providing the necessary scrutiny to ensure children are safe, how the early offer of help at local level might reduce the numbers of children at the critical end of the spectrum and whether reducing regulation from the centre will result in better outcomes for the most vulnerable? Moreover, it also considers those young people who traditionally bypass child protection services but remain at risk of harm. These are critical questions for both policy and practice in understanding the reforms Munro states are required. Contributions from leading experts working in the child protection system review current safeguarding policy and explore the future after Munro.
Spanning more than one and a half centuries, this treasure trove examines the steam, diesel, and electric locomotives that have have kept North American commerce on the rails since the middle of the nineteenth centuty. Prolific rail author Brian Solomon takes an encyclopedic approach and describes every major type. And because locomotive-building has long been a made-to-order business, the book is arranged alphabetically by railroads from across the United States and Canada to show the variant technologies that railroads ordered to best suit their specific needs, whether for freight or passenger operations. The 75-plus railroads covered range from the best known historical lines such as Canadian Pacific, Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and Baltimore & Ohio, to today’s giant Class I roads, commuter lines, and selected short lines. The result is a profusely illustrated and beautifully presented reference guide that features more than 400 locomotive gems from throughout the ages, including historic machines such as New York Central’s J3a Hudsons, Pennsylvania Railroad’s GG1 electrics, and EMD’s classic E- and F-Units, to today’s most powerful modern diesels. All the major builders—past and present—are represented, including such heavyweights as Baldwin, Alco, Lima, EMD, GE, and more.
This edition of the Testament of Solomon is a complete and accurate reprint of the original translation of ancient manuscripts by F.C. Conybeare first printed in 1898. It contains all Conybeare's original notes and commentary, including the Greek characters he footnoted for the reader's consideration. Beware of other editions of this work that do not contain all the original text. The Testament of Solomon is a pseudepigraphical work attributed to King Solomon the Wise of the Old Testament. Written in the first-person narrative, the book tells the story of the creation of the magical ring of King Solomon and how Solomon's ring was used to bind and control demons, including Beelzebub. In this book of King Solomon, the discourses between the King and the various spirits are told, and the story shows how Solomon uses his wisdom to withstand the demons' tricks and guile and enlist their aid in the building of his temple. The spells and seals of Solomon used by the King to bind the spirits are detailed, which makes this work a book of Solomon's magic, similar in nature to the Lesser Key of Solomon the King and the Greater Key of Solomon the King, which both are King Solomon books of magic and contain various talismans of Solomon, including the secret seal of Solomon. The manuscripts from which this work was discovered date from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. All were written in Greek. This dating makes most experts believe that the work is medieval. But some scholars, including D.C. Duling, argue that it is likely that the work comes from the 5th or 6th centuries. The various manuscripts used to source the work all date to medieval times, but the text itself, as well as references to other works, indicate the Testament is much older. For example, in the Dialogue of Timothy and Aquila, there is a direct reference to the Testament of Solomon. The Dialogue purports to have been written during the Archbishopric of Cyril in 444 C.E., and therefore, its reference would date the Testament before that time. Similarly, in the early 4th century Gnostic text On the Origin of the World, references to the book of Solomon and his 49 demons are made. No matter the date, the text provides an immensely interesting description of how King Solomon tamed various demons to build his temple. The text includes predictions of the coming of Christ, as one demon explains to Solomon that while he may be bound, the only thing that can truly take his power away is the man born from a virgin who will be crucified by the Jews.
The Grand Grimoire, Kabbalah, Witchcraft, Old Magic - all share a common inspiration: The Wise King Solomon. Writer of three books in the Bible; Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes & Song of Songs (and possibly Psalms) - he also possessed a magic ring, with which he could control and befriend daemons - giving him Ultimate Power. This is his testament. (Please note: this is not a book of negativity or the black arts, this is a historical account, an amendment if you will). Herein is the complete original article from JQR (1898) Republished with Permission. Forward by performance artist, Mikhail Tank.
Generally, when we hear the word "psalm", we tend to think of the traditional 150 psalms that collectively comprise the Book of Psalms of the Old Testament. Of those 150 psalms, about half of them are traditionally attributed to David. But, King Solomon is also remembered for being a prolific writer, as the author of numerous biblical books: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Wisdom of Solomon, as well as this one. Presented here are King Solomon's lost 18 psalms that make up this apocryphal book, the Psalms of Solomon, just as they were first published in English, along with the original prologue and a brand new, lengthy introduction.
This report, commissioned as part of the Prison Reform Trust's strategy to reduce child and youth imprisonment in the UK, focuses specifically on international examples of policies and practices that are used in countries which have relatively low numbers of children in custody or have been developed and implemented in countries to reduce child imprisonment. It looks at alternative sanctions that could potentially be transferred to England and Wales to reduce the number of children either remanded or sentenced to custody.

The Solomon Keys is a collection of sayings gleaned from Readings, lectures, and workshops given by Paul Solomon to help you become the master of your Life.
The Readings of the Paul Solomon SourceI would like my relationship with this Source and this material to be clear from the beginning because I find that it is easy to misunderstand. By some people, inspired material is approached with awe and is accepted non-critically as absolute truth. Other people approach it with something beyond skepticism that is more akin to bigotry. I believe that neither of these approaches is appropriate. If one accepts that information can be received from Higher Mind, psychic sources, or from God, then the central message in the material, whatever the subject, is that there exists such a Source of inspiration, knowledge and wisdom. If then, this Source exists and is the Source of the material, the reader should keep in mind that the Source also exists for them as well as for me. In reading the material consider the information a springboard or a link with that Source, and use it as a catalyst. Ask for inspiration, information, understanding, and guidance in application while reading. See if the information is applicable, and whether it is true for you”.Paul SolomonThese are the words of Paul Solomon, one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time. Internationally known as a teacher, prophet, healer, minister and humanitarian, Paul Solomon made contact with his Super-conscious Mind after experiencing a “dark night of the soul.” Paul Solomon could 'view the body' at a distance, make accurate diagnosis and suggest treatment that saved lives. During his lifetime he gave over 1,400 readings on topics such as Soul Growth, Ancient Mystery Traditions and Arcane Knowledge, Sacred Scripture, Qabalah and Universal Law. Answers to almost every conceivable subject are available through The Paul Solomon Source Readings and lectures. His gift of being able to communicate clearly the essence of universal principles, both ancient and modern, has inspired people all over the world to find their uniqueness, thus 're-membering' their own connection to Source. “The Source Readings, impressive as they are, are only a means of revealing what lies beyond the words and beyond the wisdom. They are great only if they give you a glimpse of their Source. If they cause you to see the Source, then they have succeeded. If they cause the Source to be awakened within you, then they've really done what they are supposed to do.”Paul SolomonThis ninth book is comprised of the readings that Paul gave during the period of January 23, 1976 - May 19, 1975.Mary Siobhan McGibbon, grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Paul Solomon (1939-1994) was one of the most inspired and illuminating teachers of life's sacred mysteries. He was a scholar of comparative religion, sacred scriptures and the Qabalah, plus arcane wisdom and ancient mystery traditions. He was a leader in the field of altered states of consciousness, and many people called him "the modern-day Edgar Cayce." Paul was uniquely skilled in making complex concepts understandable and applicable, while still allowing for deep understanding. Through his lectures and channeled readings, he made universal laws and esoteric doctrines practical to daily life for people around the world. Through lectures, workshops and residential programs, Paul sought to bring together people of diverse nationalities, races and religions under one roof, believing that perfect love, beginning with oneself, is humankind's only appropriate response to the world's challenges. His primary focus was the establishment of a worldwide family - plus the empowerment of individuals toward their full potential, enhanced through an intimate and interactive relationship with the source of their being. Until his death in 1994, he continued to share the message that each of us can choose love over fear every moment of the day, thus making the choice to live in heaven on earth, on both a personal and global level. The Wisdom of Solomon is a collection of Paul's teachings on spirituality and religion, mysticism and occultism, prayer and meditation, reincarnation, channeling, dreams and the mind-body connection. Paul's vast knowledge base, combined with his gift for simplifying issues and spelling out practical steps toward transformation, make The Wisdom of Solomon unique.
I know what you could be thinking as you read these words because I share similar experiences with you. As a poet it is my duty to explain and express what we all feel at any given time.

Within these pages you will hear your screams of passion, cries of frustration, joys of living, yells of excitement, highs and lows of relationships, blessings of a soul mate, and inspiration from above. This manuscript of art is your after work relaxation, your written cardio, your literary kaleidoscope, and the way you want to feel and when you need to be told you feel that way. The Song of Solomon is not just written for you or even to you, these poems are about you.
