Upcoming events
Stempra's Christmas event on 16 December 2008 is almost sold out. If you've been too mean to rejoin Stempra, you could find yourself out in the cold on Euston Road with only Tiny Tim and a lump of coal for company. Come inside and join your ruddy-faced friends in some merry festive cheer this Tuesday! 

Feature:

Stempra members review the year
And so this is Christmas, And what have we done? Another year over, a new one just begun. War is almost over for another year, so except for the seasonal Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, droughts, cosmic radiation storms, assassinations and international economic crises, we're all set for a peaceful holiday.

Interview:

Roger Highfield - Editor of New Scientist
If you've ever wanted to know how Santa manages to deliver presents to 2 billion children, spaced at an average of 0.26 miles apart, all across the globe on Christmas eve, then Roger's your man. To find out if it's done by the power of quantum teleportation, wormholes, fractal vortex-shedding devices or those 842 million potent brandies, you'll have to read his book. But Stempra newsletter interviewed him this Christmas as our present to you.
