These days I've found that I'm having trouble reading books that get my "fight or flight" system going, even though the book may be well-written (Try Hum if You Don't Know the Words by Bianca Marais; I'll read it when things have calmed down.) I think I am just overloaded with the events in the news. However, I never stop reading; I just turn to my comfort reads.
Comfort reads are very personal. No one can really recommend to you what you would consider comforting. Many times it has to do with something in your childhood. In my case, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is on my list because my father brought it to me when I was sick.
Others include:
- Agatha Christie
- Jane Austen
- Harry Potter
- PG Wodehouse
- Louise Penny
- Many of my fantasy authors (Hobb, Sanderson, Kay)
- Terry Pratchett
- Patrick O'Brien
I've been collecting many of these authors in audio so when my eyes go I can still listen.
There is an blog from Australia about the site's staffs' comfort reads: https://www.readings.com.au/news/our-best-comfort-reads
What are yours?

The Office's John Krasinski may be out of the running for Captain America, but he is in negotiations to star alongside Ginnifer Goodwin in the romantic comedy Something Borrowed, a fate with its own pleasantries. According to THR, Goodwin is a New York lawyer with an unwavering moral compass who falls for the fiance of her best friend on her 30th birthday. The film is an adaptation of the first in a series of novels by Emily Griffin, which means a sequel (Something Blue) awaits in case Borrowed is successful. Krasinski's role as Goodwin's confidant is of the supporting persuasion in Borrowed, but according to the source material he would be promoted to male lead in the theoretical Blue.
The logline doesn't sound all that fresh, and director Luke Greenfield has a spotty track record which includes the loathsome Rob Schneider vehicle The Animal. But Goodwin and Krasinski are all kinds of affable, which could do wonders to elevate the material.

We have found that children with Special Needs benefit the most from a Next Generation Yoga program. Our integrated philosophy addresses the physical, social-emotional and cognitive strengths and challenges of the whole child. NGY's therapeutic approach supports a child's natural development and positive sense of self in a gentle, safe and fun environment.
NGY Teachers are often experienced in Yoga therapy with children of varying Special Needs, including those with Learning Disabilities, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Pervasive Developmental Delays, Attention Deficit Disorders, Sensory Integration, and more.
Private Lessons and/or inclusion-based NGY classes are determined by your child's strengths, cognitive skills and motor abilities. In either setting, poses may be done with the assistance of an NGY Teacher, Yoga assistant or parent, and ultimately by the child independently. It is our goal to mainstream your child into an inclusion-based class when he is ready.
We recognize that children with Special Needs often have multiple therapies, therefore, no matter what your child's needs are, we propose one ultimate goal: FUN!
Yoga Benefits for Kids with Special Needs:
Trying to mainstream my son (who is on the Autistic Spectrum) has been a difficult task. When you accepted him in a Kids Yoga class with typical children, you opened a new world for us. Next Generation Yoga has taught my child how to relax his body and follow group instruction all while having constant peer interaction.
~ Susanne, Mom – New York, NY
Yoga Therapy
Children with Special Needs will be guided towards physical, emotional and cognitive growth in a one-on-one setting. Therapeutic Private Lessons often include assisted stretches, restorative poses, breathing exercises, mid-line movements, relaxation techniques and developmentally appropriate poses.
Mindfulness combined with breath and body awareness, and sensory integration are the focus of these classes. The NGY Teacher will work closely with you to develop an integrated and appropriate Yoga program. It is our goal to have your child in a main stream group Yoga class when he is ready.
Get Started
An initial consultation with an NGY Teacher is recommended in order to begin a Yoga program that is specialized for your child. We will suggest, prior to starting your Yoga program, that you consult with your pediatrician. Feel free to ask us to speak with your doctor if you prefer.

Some people search for the perfect wine to complement their food. We love to find the right food for our wine! The flowery, fruity notes of Oregon Rosé offer a pleasant flavor that instantly refreshes on those hot summer nights (or cold winter nights! It's adaptable.) This triple-decker backed Italian cheese sandwich is an ideal accompaniment for a comfort-food indulgence any time of year.
8 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
¼ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. thyme leaves
2 loaves bread (Italian, Pullman, etc.), ends discarded and sliced into 24 ½ inch thick pieces
1 pound sliced provolone
1 pound coarsely shredded Fontina
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Gently toss the sliced tomatoes with half of the olive oil and salt and pepper, then arrange cut side up on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 1.5 hours, then sprinkle with thyme and bake for an additional 30 minutes until very tender.
- Increase oven temperature to 375. Brush 16 slices of bread with the remaining olive oil and arrange 8 of them oiled-side down on a baking sheet. Top with provolone and 8 slices of plain, unbrushed bread. Top the plain bread with the Fontina, reserving some of the cheese for later. Add the tomatoes on top of the Fontina, then top with the other 8 slices of oiled bread, oiled side up.
- Bake the sandwiches for about 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
- Turn on the broiler. Toss the remaining Fontina with the Parmigiano-Reggiano and sprinkle onto the sandwiches. Broil for approximately one minute, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
These sandwiches are good all by themselves, or you can serve them with crisp, tangy pickles and crunchy potato chips, or a green salad. Willamette Valley wines, with fruity and floral aromas, complement the rich cheese and sweet tomato flavors to round out the meal.

People turn to adoption for a number of reasons. Some believe it is important to give fostered children a home. Others have difficulty conceiving. Still others use adoption to take care of children within their family or circle of friends.
However, adoption is not the only way to provide for minors, and it may not be the best option either. Legal guardianship can enable a non-parent to care for a child without going through the adoption process.
What is Adoption?
Adoption occurs when one or two adults are permanently given the legal authority to raise a child. It creates a life-long commitment. The adoptive parents have the same rights and responsibilities that were initially placed on the birth parents.
To adopt a child, his or her biological parents' rights must be voluntarily or involuntarily terminated. Many birth parents voluntarily give up their rights to provide their child with a better life, while others have their parental rights removed by the courts.
Adoption is a legal process, which means prospective parents must petition the court for the right to adopt the child. The judge will always look at the best interests of the child in regard to finalizing the action. Once it is finalized, the biological parents cannot reverse the decision.
What is Guardianship?
Guardianship over a minor consists of the court granting a non-parent the right to care for that child, including have him or her live with the guardian. This may be a long-term relationship as it can last until the child turns 18, but it does not create a life-long legal parental relationship.
There are actually three types of guardianship: person, estate, and a combination of both. Guardianship over the person allows the non-parent to care for the child without access to the child's income or property. A guardianship over the estate is the opposite; the non-parent will manage the child's property but not make decisions regarding his or her care.
In many situations, a non-parent seeking guardianship over a minor is asking to control both the person and the estate.
Like with an adoption, a prospective guardian must petition the court for the right to care for the child and make decisions regarding his or her custody, education, and health care. Non-parents of the child will only be granted guardianship if:
- The biological parents cannot or are unwilling to take care of the child and give up physical custody;
- The biological parents cannot or are unwilling to take care of the child and fail to appear at the guardianship hearing; or
- The biological parents consent to the guardianship in court or in a notarized document.
However, if a biological parent can show a substantial change in circumstances, he or she may be able to have the guardianship terminated and have the child returned to his or her custody.
The judge will look at the best interests of the child when determining if a guardianship should be established or removed.

Playing With Fate Stress
Back when Leonard Balsera & I were working on Fate Core, he had this idea for changing the nature of how stress boxes worked. You see the end result today in the value of stress boxes, but at the time I was incredulous — wondering if he was making a change for change's sake.
Granted, he was able to sell me on it, but it was only over this past weekend that I saw the true value of valued stress boxes.
I was playtesting Achtung! Cthulhu's Fate build, and I built a mob of undead (like you do). It seemed like they were tougher than normal people, sure, but it's in numbers where they're particularly frightening. I didn't just want to add a Dresden-style armor rating to them, because as much as I'm down with Weapon ratings, I'm not a fan of Armor — that slows the game down. (I accept Armor in certain situations to model fiction, but see it mechanically as not the first resort.)
Originally, for their stress boxes, I had a series of boxes:
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
As individuals, like you would for mobs. On a lark, though, after writing down "Armor:1", I scratched it out and instead changed it to a series of individual stress tracks to:
[2] [2] [2] [2] [2] [2]
It's a small change, but the results were super interesting. Suddenly, they could take a hit — just one hit — but unless you succeeded with style, you weren't one-shotting a zombie. The next hit would, of course, take it out.
Suddenly they were a bit scarier — yes, it was likely they were going to be re-killed by the PCs, but that was going to take effort, and thus either fate points or additional actions were going to be required. Either way, a win.
This came from an accident, originally writing the mob as having a series of 1-stress boxes. Pretty good accident, I think.
From here, you can really fuck with what each stress rating means. Maybe you have a stunt that increases all of your stress ratings by 1, so you have:
[2] [3] [4] instead of
[1] [2] [3]. What does that mean? It doesn't increase the number of hits you can take — a 1-stress hit will still tick off the 2 box just as much as a 2-stress one would. But it means you can take bigger hits.
Furthermore, you could simulate the benefits of armor by saying that if you're wearing something like kevlar, that conveys a 1-stress box that doesn't refresh, for the purposes of whatever it would normally stop. And that stress box can be used in addition to a character's normal stress boxes.
Quite a few interesting things you can do with stress boxes, once you start playing with the numbers and decoupling them from being directly on characters. (Not all of them are game-functional, but maybe still worth experimentation.)
– Ryan
[As always, the Fate G+ group is dropping some serious mojo riffing on the idea.]

The following brief details the various policies surrounding donor agency salary supplementation (or top-up) to individuals employed in project countries. The goal of this research was to understand the landscape of different agency's policies regarding salary top-ups for government experts and scientists advising on donor projects. However, information on this specific scenario was limited. The brief covers a range of scenarios in which donor agencies may pay salary top-ups to local, in-country individuals and aims to draw out a number of hypothesized advantages and disadvantages associated with the practice of donor salary supplementation.
How development organizations, NGOs, and governments can best allocate scarce resources to those in need has long been debated. As opposed to universal allocation of resources, a more targeted approach attempts to minimize program costs while maximizing benefits among those with the greatest need or market opportunity. Drawing on literature from several sectors,this brief presents two categories of beneficiary targeting in the development context: administrative targeting and self-targeting. The paper includes a brief overview of targeting and segmentation in development, a summary of reasons for targeting, theoretical and practical critiques of targeting, and a discussion of targeting methods in research and practice, including examples from the literature. Implementation examples cited in this body of research include food aid program targeting by self-reported household income in Egypt; fertilizer use in low-potential zones of Uganda; and seven strategic initiatives to improve drought and disease resistance in crops in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. We find that beneficiary segmentation has several theoretical advantages. Improved targeting may increase the efficiency and equity of organizational and program efforts and help better match interventions to recipient preferences, increasing the likelihood of adoption and participation. Development organizations may improve the focus of both their strategic priorities and budgets through customized targeting methods. However, concerns exist regarding the accuracy, reliability, cost, and time-constraints of targeting methodologies. Creating valid and reliable target groups with implementation potential remains a significant challenge.
The purpose of this literature review is to examine research and decision-making tools that model the impacts of agricultural interventions. We begin with a short explanation of what model features are being described. We then review decision-support tools and user-end modeling tools (menu-driven tools with an interface designed for easy use), as well as academic and professional research models for assessing the potential impacts of agricultural interventions. This review also includes decision tools and models for analyzing agricultural and environmental policies outside of technology impacts in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The other tools mentioned here, for example a tool that considers nutritional intervention impacts, are included to help provide a broader understanding of the structure and availability of user-end, decision-making tools. In the final section of this brief, we review the most complex models used more in academic research than for in-field decision-making.
Market-oriented agricultural production can be a mechanism to increase smallholder farmer welfare, rural market performance, and contribute to overall economic growth. Cash crop production can allow households to increase their income by producing output with higher returns to land and labor and using the income generated from sales to purchase goods for consumption. However, in the face of missing and underperforming markets, African smallholder households are often unable to produce efficiently or obtain staple foods reliably and cheaply. This literature review summarizes the available literature on the impact of smallholder participation in cash crop and export markets on household welfare and rural markets. The review focuses exclusively on evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa regarding top and emerging export crops, with the addition of tobacco and horticulture due to the volume of research relevant to smallholder welfare gains from the production of these crops. It includes theoretical frameworks, case studies, empirical evidence, and historical analysis from 42 primary empirical studies and 112 resources overall.
How development organizations, NGOs, and governments can best allocate scarce resources to those in need has long been debated. As opposed to universal allocation of resources, a more targeted approach attempts to minimize program costs while maximizing benefits among those with the greatest need or market opportunity. Many international development organizations strategically target clients based on geographic location (e.g., community, region, country) or socio-economic indicators, such as the World Bank's "$1 a day" poverty line. Drawing on literature from several sectors, this brief presents additional methods of beneficiary targeting that international development organizations might consider. We find that beneficiary targeting/segmentation has the potential to make organizational and program efforts more equitable and efficient. With limited resources, smaller organizations have tended to use single robust indicators or simple heuristics, whereas agribusinesses and private sector firms have used more data-intensive marketing tools to position their products. Technological innovation and better access to data have made targeting more prevalent and potentially more affordable in agricultural development. However, creating valid and reliable target segments remains the most significant challenge.
This literature review provides a summary of the risks that potentially limit private sector agribusiness investment in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and some responses to those risks. The report reviews risks that limit private sector investment and interventions used to mitigate risk to agricultural investment including government policy, international financial institutions, philanthropic efforts and other private initiatives. Risk is defined as a potential negative impact to assets, investments, or profitability of investments in the agricultural industry that may arise from some present process or future event. There is currently limited information examining how particular risk factors influence private-sector agribusiness investment in the region. However, the information that is available suggests that economic and political instability are among the most significant risks to agribusiness investors in SSA. Further, the literature notes that agricultural risks in SSA are particularly pronounced due to environmental risks that contribute to unreliable cash flows and uncertain profitability. We find that these risk factors are compounded by a lack of data and information for investors to use in assessing and pricing risks appropriately.
This research brief reports on full time equivalent (fte) positions devoted to research and development of major food and cash crops in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Data on fte by country and crop were collected from individual Agricultural Science and Technology Indicator (ASTI) country briefs. ASTI data are obtained from unpublished surveys conducted by CGIAR centers. Our report includes 23 countries in SSA.

As the plot of Trump/Russia collusion continues to deepen, we agree that Rep. Nunes cannot remain the chair of the House Intelligence Committee.
In what many now believe was a ploy to distract from other bad news for Trump, Nunes was given intelligence by a pair of White House officials that showed that Trump and his associates were 'incidentally' swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies – basically a commonplace situation and a non-issue. He then rushed to the White House to share the news – which they had given him! All this made for a ridiculous circus that distracted from the real story…which was the real purpose of his 'performance'.
TODAY's 5 Minute Action:
Step 1: We all need to tell our House representatives to remove Rep. Nunes as Chairman of the Committee. Also, we should contact Rep. Paul Ryan with the same request. If Nunes does not recuse himself, the only person who can remove him is Paul Ryan.
- Find your House member's phone info and Paul Ryan's contact info here: http://www.house.gov/htbin/findrep
- Use a free fax service and send a message to your House member by clicking here – House. You will receive an email to confirm this is a valid fax – be sure to confirm!
- Script: "I am (name) from (zip) and I am disgusted by the actions of Devon Nunes. He is without doubt a puppet meant to distract from the real news of Russian interference in our democracy. I urge you to force him to recuse himself from the Intelligence Committee NOW!"
Step 2: If you have time, also let Nunes know directly how you feel.
- Scroll to a relevant post on Nunes' facebook page and add a comment; click here – https://www.facebook.com/Congressman-Devin-Nunes-376470350795/
- Comment: "Shame on your for showing such partisanship in your diversion tactic with the White House. At least now it is unquestionable that we need an independent investigation, as you can't be trusted in your role as Committee Chair."
Thank you from the TrumpResistance.TODAY team

Elite Youth Sport Policy and Management: A comparative analysis (Routledge Research in Sport Business and Management) (English Edition)
Elite youth sport competitions have increased significantly in number in recent years, with the Youth Olympic Games representing the high point of this phenomenon. This book examines the global context within which elite youth sport has emerged and continues to grow. It explores elite youth sport policy across fifteen countries, in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia, addressing the questions of how youth talent development is organised and why elite youth sport has become so popular.
Taking a comparative global perspective, the book analyses the growth in more systematic approaches to young athlete development and the increasing emphasis on early talent identification. It discusses the attitude of stakeholders (such as NGBs, governments and sponsors) towards elite youth sport, while also considering how young elite athletes' interests are protected and how the growth in elite youth sport affects a sport's development strategy.
Written by a team of internationally renowned researchers, Elite Youth Sport Policy and Management: A comparative analysis is fascinating reading for all students, scholars, managers, policy-makers and coaches with an interest in youth sport, elite sport development, talent identification and sports policy.

In February, I started the second semester at the Culinary Institute of Europe. On our first practical lessons we were given a course on stocks by Chef Daniel Petho from Csalogány 26 Restaurant. I have learnt a lot of new things actually however I had been long time cooking stocks and using them for cream soups, jus and sauces to give them a nice extra taste.
It's become normal for me when I cook stock I freeze them in smaller portions, even I used an icecube maker too as these small cubes can be of great use for a two person- sauce or cream soup, so when I need them I just grab them from the freezer, they are very handy in the kitchen. Our teacher Chef has taught us a lot of tips and tricks. There are some of theme I would like to share with you.
Firstly, it is very importand to emphasis in the beginning that we can only make an nice intense and tasty stock from excellent quality ingredients. We can make stock from poultry, veal, vegetable or fish too. In this post, I would like to share with you some tricks and tips regarding the poultry stock that can be very useful in our everyday cooking.
The poultry stock can be used in a lot of different ways in the cooking, I usually freeze a half a liter, 200 ml and ice-cube portions. The half-liter portion I use for risotto, the 200 ml portions I use for vegetable sauces and the ice-cube portions for two-person dinners for gravy e.g. .
Fort he chicken stock, the best thing is to use farm chicken and best are the wings and the chicken breast. We should pour boiled water on the chicken first before we start cooking it in cold water then we add the root vegetables (carrot, celery root), onion and the bouquet garni, from the latter one I will write more in details below. Afterwards we add salt. We should add one pinch of salt per liter of water to the stock. We should use at least as much water as it covers all the meat and veggies. We should not forget to take the foam coming on the top during cooking off. The chicken stock is ready in 1-2 hours. If it is done, we filter it through on a fine net. We should take care that we should not pour the soup but carefully slowly spoon by spoon take it through the net. The portions we do not want to use the day of cooking it or in the next few days, we should freeze immediately. The chicken stock is perfect for making a jus from roasted bones and meat. It is also great to use for cream soups, vegetable sauces and for risotto too. On cold nights, we can even drink a warm glass as it is great immune booster and it is a real superfood.
For the chicken stocks we can prepare a bouquet garni from leak, parsley, thyme and bayleaf that we make a bunch fixed so that we can lift it out when it has given enough intense taste or at the end of the cooking. We should taste the stock during the cooking to see how intense we like it.
The stock can be prepared from other poultry too: duck, goose or piggon.
If you have any questions regarding the chicken stock still coming up, please write me in a comment under the post and I will get back to you. If you are interested in how to prepare a fish or vegetable stock, please also make a remark under the post and I will share some tricks on them too in another post.
I hope I inspired a lot of you to prepare a nice chicken stock in the weekend!
Enjoy creating in the kitchen!

India vs Australia: Langer & Ponting Marvel at Khawaja's Stunner to Dismiss Kohli
Australia coach Justin Langer heaped praise on Usman Khawaja's blinder of a catch that got rid of Virat Kohli on Day 1 of the first Test at Adelaide, calling it one of the favourite moments in his career.
"It was actually one of my favourite moments ever in my Test career, I reckon, for so many reasons," Langer told cricket.com.au in a Facebook Live session that took place before play on day two of the first Test.
Incredible from @Uz_Khawaja! #AUSvIND | @bet365_auspic.twitter.com/eLgBLnQssM
— cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) December 6, 2018
"It's the start of the Test series, it's Kohli, a great start for us, and with everything that's been going on with Uz."
"And also, the most important thing for me, I won't forget just after I was appointed (coach), I was sitting in the driveway in my house, talking to Uzzy about getting himself nice and fit so he could run hard between the wickets and field better.
"So when I see him take a catch like that, I was over the moon – for him and for the team."
This praise comes after former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting spoke glowingly about the effort, saying that what made it even better was that the catch got rid of the dangerous Kohli.
Stationed at gully, Khawaja had to dive to his unnatural left side after Kohli edged Pat Cummins' full-length delivery while going for the big drive. Khawaja managed to stick out his left hand at the right time and completed an absolute stunner.
Khawaja, an avid basketball fan, had earlier revealed about how LeBron James inspired him to lose some weight and be fitter. Ponting was Australia's captain when Khawaja was first called into the Test squad in 2010 and he feels the Queenslander has made a lot of improvement in the fielding department, which wasn't quite his forte when he first burst into the scene.
"He's improved his fielding out of sight. I'm on record as saying that when he first came into the side years ago, it was almost an aspect of his game that he hadn't worked on much," said Ponting.
"He'd obviously always been a gun batsman as a junior and probably never focused as much on his fielding as he needed to … that's certainly the way it looked. You can see now he's a bit trimmer, he's lost a bit of weight, he's obviously more focused on his fitness and his fielding than ever before. And I think that shows with his batting (and) the way he applies himself as well.
"The reason you do all your training and all your hard work before the game is just in case a moment like that comes," Ponting said of Khawaja's catch. You want to make sure you've practiced it and trained it so it's not a fluke when you actually take one in a game."
Australia were brilliant on the field on the opening day of the Test match. They grabbed most of the possible chances, and Cummins' sensational run out of centurion Cheteshwar Pujara on the brink of Day 1 was one of the other major highlights.
Head coach Justin Langer has been pretty vocal about the fitness requirements and Ponting couldn't agree more.
"I know those guys were given some pretty clear direction on the way they needed to present themselves at the start of the summer," Ponting said.
"I know Justin's philosophies on that sort of stuff and it's fair enough. These guys are highly paid professional athletes and when you have days like this (on Thursday) when it's 39 degrees, it's obviously going to be easier getting around when you're 10 kilos lighter.
"It helps preserve your energy, but also mentally it's obviously going to make things easier. Full credit to those guys, they've obviously put in the work and it's started to pay off for them."

Martin Playne was trained as an agricultural scientist at the University of Queensland, majoring in biochemistry, and followed this with a PhD in microbiology and biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh. He has had a career as a research scientist with CSIRO, the Australian Government scientific research organization. Soon after leaving CSIRO in 2000, he started research on the social history of Victoria in the years following its settlement, or as some would say, its invasion by white people in the early part of the nineteenth century. He examined how this history related to his own family histories.
Two Squatters: the lives of George Playne and Daniel Jennings is his first book on social history, and is a biography of two men from very different backgrounds. His research has revealed how each of these little-known men made important contributions to the development of Victoria during their 15 years in Victoria. The book illustrates the historical value of examining, in detail, lives of individuals during those boisterous years of early settlement and the gold rush. The author's experience in family historical research has been used fully to create living stories of the families of both men and their childhood years in England.
Dr Playne has written some 120 scientific papers, reports, reviews and book chapters. He has edited and produced for over 15 years, a two-monthly journal Australasian Biotechnology. He has been a regular reviewer of papers submitted to leading international scientific journals, and an examiner of many theses. Thus, he is able to draw on this experience in research methods, in assessing published literature, and in writing, in his current ventures in social history. He has been the lead author and editor of an acclaimed business directory:
Playne, M.J., and Arnold, B.L. (1993) Australian and New Zealand Biotechnology Directory (1st Edition) (Australian Biotechnology Association: Melbourne) 304pp. ISSN 1032-8068.
His most recent scientific publication is a major book chapter:
Playne, M.J. and Crittenden, R. G. (2009) Galacto-oligosaccharides and other products derived from lactose IN: Advanced Dairy Chemistry – 3. Lactose, Water, Salts and Minor Constituents (PLH Mc Sweeney and PF Fox: eds) 3rd Edition, Springer Publishers, New York, Chapter 5, pages 121-201. ISBN 978-0-387-84864-8.
He has been a joint recipient of the Jack Kefford Award for the best paper in 1998 of the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology, and recipient of a similar award by the Dairy Industry Association of Australia for 2004.
He was born in Wales, and spent the first 11 years of his life in Britain. This background has allowed him to understand and appreciate the British people and their history. That history, of course, is intimately linked to the early history of Australia since white settlement. He lives in Melbourne, Victoria.
He is continuing research into the social history of the Port Phillip District during the period of its early settlement by Europeans with a view to writing further books in this genre of the lives of hitherto little known men and women who made important contributions to society. Dr Playne has also developed a proposal for a book for laymen on Bugs In Your Tummy- A Scientific Guide To Probiotics And Your Health.
He is a member of the Editorial Team for Ancestor - the quarterly magazine of the Genealogical Society of Victoria.
His recent publications on social and family history can be found under the link to Publications.

(the meaning of the word is to indicate the rebirth of new shoots from a tree stump- the crest is known to date back to 1576)

Welcome to the "New" Dart's Page.
I'm working on a complete revamp, and hopefully keep it updated with more and better content.
Lots has changed since I started this site seven years ago, and I'm hoping to expand the scope from just the IL-2: 1946 flight simulation and delve into Black Shark and Rise of Flight as well.
I'll also make the older content more accessible.
If you note the menu on the left has changed as well.

Describing them as "counter-revolutionaries", Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told demonstrators outside the National Assembly that he has signed orders calling on Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP)and ARF ministers in his government to resign.
Earlier this evening, MPs from these two parties voted in favor of a Republican Party of Armenia bill that would effectively ban the dissolution of the parliament by other than legal means in the case that the prime minister resigns, and a new prime minister isn't elected within the two-week deadline.
The bill passed with a vote of 67 in favor. Only Yelk Alliance MPs opposed it.
"Yesterday and today a dreadful bill was introduced by the PAP and the ARF that aims to stage a counter-revolution in Armenia. Approval of that bill is a conspiracy against the supreme authority of Armenia, i.e., the Armenian people," Pashinyan told the crowd of several thousand demonstrating outside the National Assembly in Yerevan.
Pashinyan said that PAP and ARF provincial governors would be formally dismissed at the next cabinet session, but that they're effectively stripped of all power as of tonight.

Despite its literary lineage and stunning debut of actor Alan Ladd, not to mention the darkly atmospheric misè en scenes of Seitz and taut direction of Tuttle, this film appears to have slipped off the horizon as a Hollywood great. As far as I'm concerned it's a seminal work and classic film noir.
Some liberties were taken with Graham Greene's original story, but that was to be expected given the peculiar obsession by Americans to appropriate all aspects of life and experience as uniquely American. There was also the unexpected entry of the USA into the second world war at what must have been near the middle of the production; Pearl Harbour was bombed on 7 December 1941, This Gun for Hire was released in May 1942.
Greene's hideous, hare-lipped assassin hired by a wealthy steel magnate to kill the Czech minister for war becomes a strikingly handsome killer, Alan Ladd as Philip Raven (shades of Edgar Allen Poe?), disfigured only by a badly broken wrist and hired by a chemical tycoon via proxy to assassinate a blackmailing industrial chemist who's threatening to reveal a secret plot to sell a poison gas formula to the Japanese.
In some senses the background story of a chemicals tycoon's treason and the unexpected 'patriotic' intervention from a criminal may have drawn on and supported a possible real-life softening or suspension of public moral judgement for those American transgressors willing to leave their pasts behind and ship off to fight in Europe or the Pacific. That wasn't quite the case for Raven, but the sentiment would have helped to make the character more sympathetic than could otherwise have been expected.
The script and Alan Ladd's performance lend a surprisingly timeless air to this story of murder, double-cross and industrial intrigue. In fact, watching the opening sequences I was struck by how much Ladd reminded me of a young Alain Delon in Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai, and Michael Winner's Scorpio, in both of which Delon played coldly calculating assassins, perhaps drawing on Ladd's earlier performances.
Ladd was able to pioneer a fresh, unaffected, understated, brooding style that could be seen as a trailblazer for the strong, silent types that were to follow. Yet Ladd also carried off the vulnerability, paranoia and psychological torment that turned Raven into a killer in the first place, bringing into sharp relief a strong pessimism about the world that might have been serendipitous zeitgeist.
Although billed third in the promotional credits below Veronica Lake and Robert Preston, Ladd clearly steals the show, followed by the impressive high camp performance by Cregar as the effete, duplicitous, cowardly Gates who relies on his chauffeur Tommy to do his dirty work for him. There is an equally impressive support performance by Tully Marshall as the withered and wheelchair-bound but nevertheless tyrannical and authentically menacing Nitro Chemical boss Alvin Brewster, who is, perhaps, a visual metaphor for the ageing, obscenely wealthy, decadent, corrupt robber-baron capitalists of America's not so distant past.
Lake appears to have been entirely miscast, or her part was badly scripted. Her musical numbers were plainly ridiculous, as was her performance as the fiancée of police officer Michael Crane (Preston) and the ridiculous sub-plot that saw her become a secret agent for the government. She did alright as a captive first of Gates and then of Raven, but she just didn't sparkle in this rôle for all her arresting sensuality and talent. Lake was to appear with Ladd three more times, mainly because at a tiny 4'11.5″ she was a suitable height opposite the diminutive 5'5″ Ladd, who, it is said, didn't much like her on a personal level.
Worse than Lake was Preston, who barreled into his part with all the subtlety and sympathy of a vaudeville extra, all booming voice and overdone gestures. He comes across like a cheap stage hack, and his character like a country bumpkin. Preston ruined the otherwise nuanced atmosphere of the piece every time he walked on set. It might almost be described as a reminder that Hollywood film was not that far away from stage conventions yet, and that Tuttle didn't get to choose who he had to work with.
Nevertheless, all the sequences featuring Alan Ladd were finely observed, with an eye for portraying not only the hit man's ruthlessness, introduced in the scenes where Raven methodically prepares for and executes the assassination of the blackmailer and an unintended witness. This hard side was immediately juxtaposed with a scene showing Raven carefully weighing up whether to shoot a small girl in leg braces because she could be a witness to his murders, but deciding instead to hand her back a ball she dropped and asked him to pick up for her, despite the fact that this was bound to offer her a good eyewitness look at him.
Equally impressive were the almost gothic sequences in the Gates house with its oppressive air of heavy oak paneling, and in the Nitro chemical works with its coldly impersonal dark marble floors, columns, and imposingly massive brass doors.
The Gates house sequences are visually strongly reminiscent of the vividly lurid pulp fiction cover paintings that formed part of the unique design themes of the era.. For example, there was the piquant bondage scene with a tied-up Graham being leered at by Gates and his henchman, Tommy, dressed in what came across as a highly fetishistic chauffeur's uniform. The scene epitomises the deviant, misogynistic sexuality said to be a characteristic of film noir. Raven's stalking about the house exemplifies the style and atmosphere of a 1940s comic book thriller, all fedora, trench coat and gun, casting deep, menacing shadows wherever he goes.
Seitz's observations are meticuluous in creating the atmosphere of a slum, the raucous mood of a carnival, the impersonal monotony of a train journey, the desolate loneliness of being alone on the road, the faux opulence of a manor inhabited by a nouveau riche fop, the grimy feel of a deserted gasworks and train yard, and the real but coldly impersonal opulence of an industrial palace inhabited by worker ants and a treasonous tycoon. Each are minor pieces of art in themselves, influencing many later films, from other noir stories to the first James Bond cycle.
The lighting is changeable, moving between mundanely 'realistic' monotone and sharply contrasted, atmospheric moodiness with its long, eerie shadows, very much accentuating the increasing desperation and rising anxiety of Raven's situation. It is every bit the visually ambient complement to the story.
Although it was a foregone conclusion that the assassin could not succeed in his work, I was disappointed that he didn't somehow slip away, maybe off to war where he could die an 'honourable' death for doing what he did best.
In an unusual twist for a film of its time, the script and/or director attempted to offer an insight into the psychopathology of a killer by way of Raven's confession to Graham, in a cold and coldly impersonal railway carriage while under siege by the police, about being brutally beaten by an unforgiving aunt when he was a child, with the aunt becoming his first victim, and the odium attached to that deed preventing a return to normalcy, thus igniting his homicidal bent and career as a hit man. Raven/Ladd evoked tremendous pathos with his child-like, anguished, screwed up face and the almost pleading suggestion that he's heard of a new science (psychoanalysis) that might 'cure' him. Alas, we, the audience, know it's already too late for him as he crouches in the abandoned railway carriage, and we know that he knows it too.
Not only does this sequence reference the then relatively new science of psychoanalysis (Carl Jung was still alive and Sigmund Freud had been dead only three years in 1942), it does so credibly, closely mirroring in its details about the reasons for Raven's sociopathic impulses an analysis of contemporary Sydney criminal Arthur "Neddy" Smith, serving a life sentence for rape, robbery and murder (see codicil below for details).
Raven's confession not only explains his motivations, but also humanises the character and exposes his vulnerability, and therefore also his ultimate fallibility no matter how coldly calculating he might be.
It may be only my personal reading of the story, but I thought there was a touch of rebuke for a coldly puritanical approach to rearing children, particularly orphans, that is implied as part of the story's grounding in depression era America, and which anticipated by decades public awareness of the consequences of such mistreatment.
Regardless of this personal interpretation, what the scene did was illustrate in a most unusually cerebral manner that bad guys aren't born that way — they become what they are because of what happened to them, possibly because the world can be a harsh, uncaring place. In a sense the film presented the logical conclusions that could be formed about existentialist cynicism directed at human proclivities, and without that cynicism there could be no noir stories.
No matter how much the film is spoiled by Lake and Preston, it is well worth the effort to see at least a couple of times, if only to observe the emerging forms and conventions of American film noir. I'm personally much taken by the opening sequences establishing Raven's bona fides as a killer, which might have been filmed 30 or even 60 years later without appearing significantly out of place.

Thanks to some vacation blackout dates over at T-Mobile, it looks like the new iPhone will be headed to shelves on September 20.
Apple has the retail experience when it comes to delivering a device shortly after announcing down pat. No other company comes close to being able to release popular hardware with enough stock to meet that day one rush.
Over the last couple of years, the company has excelled at being able to deliver the iPhone just days after announcing it, and it looks like this year will be no different. Based on a few T-Mobile employees reporting blackout dates for vacations and a widely anticipated announcement date of September 10, it looks like Apple's next wave of hardware will be hitting shelves on September 20.
Between the big iPhone 5S announcement, the leaked photos and videos of the iPhone 5C, and tons of rumors surrounding a new iPad design, it's possible that Apple's September 10 announcement will be a wallet emptying affair. The new iPads are expected to follow in the design footsteps of the iPad mini, while the colorful plastic backs of the supposedly cheaper iPhone 5C will offer a whole new world of choices for Apple fans. With iOS 7 reaching the final stages of its beta testing and September being right around the corner, it appears that all of the pieces are falling into place.
If T-Mobile employees are being told not to take time off between September 20-22, it seems more than likely you'll see more of the same from Verizon, AT&T, and of course Apple. If the past is any indicator, we'll also see Apple's new hardware lineup at electronics retailers the same day, with pre-orders for the new hardware going up just after the announcement.
The only thing we have to do now is wait. How hard could that be?

BURLINGTON, Vt. - Students at the Emergent Media Center (EMC) at Champlain College have developed an interactive digital experience in partnership with ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center on Burlington's waterfront.
"Lake Quest," funded through an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums for America grant, aims to build upon physical exhibits in an engaging, educational, and fun way using digital technology to enhance the visitor experience.
ECHO visitors will be able to launch their own "Lake Quest" journal that includes activities such as games, trivia and collecting badges, and use it as they travel throughout the museum. Currently, two games developed by students at Champlain College are available. Further funding will allow additional games on environmental topics to be added in the future. "Lake Quest" launches in conjunction with ECHO's current exhibition, "Playing Together: Games," a look at how humans use games to solve problems, learn about the world, and understand each other.
· "Lake Invaders" is designed to teach children ages 6 to 8 years old how to identify invasive species in Lake Champlain. Designers say it is an "infinite runner" style game that challenges players to catch invasive species as they pass by. At the end of each round, players receive suggestions of what other exhibits within ECHO, to explore based on the game.
· "Algae Officer" challenges older players, ages 10 and up, to manage resources so their cities and towns can grow, while keeping blue-green algae from taking over the lake. "The game is a great way to learn about how the choices we make influence the health of the lake," say designers.
Two mobile tablets are installed in the "Into the Lake" exhibit on the first floor and the Action Lab on the top floor showcasing "Lake Quest." Visitors have the option of accessing the games by swiping a unique RFID sticker (Radio-frequency Identification) on the tablet to access an individualized journal. When players approach a tablet, they pass the RFID sticker in front of the tablet and the journal "opens", welcoming the individual back. With an RFID sticker, players will also be able to earn badges for completing different challenges in the games and those badges will be added to their journal. ECHO is among the early adopters to use this new technology to bring a new level of interactivity in a museum setting. Visitors may also access "Lake Quest" without RFID stickers.
Partnerships like this are at the heart of the mission of Champlain College's Emergent Media Center, according to director Ann DeMarle. The "Lake Quest" project was led by Champlain MFA in Emergent Media graduate students, who researched and conceptualized the ideas working with experts from ECHO. Then skilled Champlain College undergraduate game designers, artists, and programmers worked collaboratively to prototype, test, and build the digital experience. "For me the biggest challenge for this project was balancing fun and education. We spent hours visiting the museum, watching how people interacted with exhibits, and talking to the ECHO summer campers. What we came up with incorporates scientific concepts with mechanics from popular games," says Champlain alum AJ Twombly '13, interactive designer for the project.
The EMC is one of Champlain's Centers of Excellence with a mission to educate and inspire next generation media creators and leaders. "We support the talent and creativity of students to design interactive media, games, and mobile apps to create meaningful solutions," DeMarle explained. "Forming partnerships like this with ECHO, we can give our students real-world experiences before they graduate and introduce these smart talented young professionals to employers and clients." "Lake Quest is a perfect blend of fun, education, and technology and a great example of how a game environment can help children and their families learn more about the environment and how their lives and choices can impact the health of Lake Champlain," said Phelan Fretz, executive director of ECHO.

Top Breast Augmentation Surgeon
While considering breast surgery, many patients desire alteration in the size of the nipple/areola area. Patients are happy to hear that their issues can be addressed at the time of their breast augmentation, lift, reduction or reconstruction, with little, if any, additional recovery time. Nipple surgery can also be performed by itself often times in the office using local anesthesia. Whether the nipple is inverted, too big or protruding too far, we can help you with its correction.
Inverted nipples can cause functional as well as emotional concerns for women. Depending upon the severity of the condition an inverted nipple can look flat or a slit like depression or hole at the normal nipple location. Correction can be planned after carefully assessing the patient's needs and severity of the problem.
Large and/or puffy areolas cause patients to be concerned with their appearance as they may be visible through their clothing.
Large nipples can be bothersome to a woman's appearance. In addition to genetics nipples can change their shape after pregnancy and breast feeding. Whether the nipples are long or have a large circumference, women may find this uncomfortable in clothing and in the nude.
The Nipple Correction Procedure
The first step in nipple reduction, inverted nipple repair or areola reduction surgery is thorough examination and careful evaluation. Once a clear plan has been established, the procedure is then performed under local anesthesia, unless it is performed in conjunction with another breast procedure.
Inverted Nipple Repair
The objective is to reshape the nipple and areola so that the nipple projects out from the breast, enhancing the appearance of the breast while preserving sensitivity of the nipple. A number of techniques are available to the surgeon to correct this problem. Techniques are also available that leave the milk ducts intact thus preserving the women's ability to breastfeed.
Areola Reduction
Areola reductions begin by removing the pigmented area from the outside of the areola. Proper placement of incision and meticulous technique leaves minimal scarring.
Nipple Reduction
Length reduction: Nipples that are too long either droop down or project too far out. To shorten the nipple length, the tip of the nipple will be often removed and sutured for closure. Sometimes the skin along the neck of the nipple will be removed to create a shorter nipple.
If the nipple is too wide, but not too long, a pie-shaped wedge will be removed from the undersurface of the nipple. The cut edges are then sutured and the circumference is reduced.
What to Expect After Nipple Correction Surgery
You will feel some discomfort for a few days after surgery but this is easily managed with pain medication. After the operation, some bruising and swelling occurs, which may last for a few days.
You will be encouraged to begin walking around on the day of surgery, and can return to work when you feel well enough, which could be as early as a day or two after surgery. Any stitches will generally be removed about 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity as well as sexual activity for a week or two. You should also avoid exposing the resulting scars to the sun for at least six months. Sunlight can permanently affect the skin's pigmentation, causing the scar to turn dark. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a strong sun block.

« Ante Up For Chelsea: The Live Blog | Main | Could NOAH Have Stopped The Flood Of Terrorism Before 9/11? (Update with Correction) »
The Yemen government doesn't seem to take terrorism quite as seriously as we do, according to the London Telegraph. Their idea of handling terrorism goes even less further than the notorious law-enforcement approach that the United States tried during the decade prior to 9/11. Yemen takes a debate approach instead -- and it's about as effective as one might think:
A pioneering scheme to fight Islamist terror by encouraging jailed extremists to rethink their grasp of the Koran is under fire after claims that some of its "converts" have taken up arms again.
The project, launched in Yemen three years ago by an Islamic scholar, Judge Hamoud al-Hitar, has been followed closely by the British Government, which has twice invited him to lecture senior anti-terrorism officials at Scotland Yard.
The effectiveness of his technique - a theological "duel" in which he and the prisoners quote Koranic texts at each other - is in doubt, however, after reports that some al-Qaeda militants freed under the scheme have been caught fighting coalition forces in Iraq.
Among those released is the former chief bodyguard of Osama bin Laden, Nasser Al-Bahri, who has admitted that his sessions with Judge al-Hitar did nothing to diminish his belief in the leader of al-Qaeda. Instead, he suggested that many militants simply pretended to repent to gain quick release from jail.
No -- tell me it isn't so! The Yemenis and the Brits can't possibly mean that hardened terrorists, trained to resist Western interrogation techniques as well as Eastern torture, might lie about their intentions in order to get out of prison. Who could have seen that coming?
One would think that the Brits would not be so naive as to promote this kind of a program, especially after the June 7 bombings, but some apparently are. It's the same people who think that hatred consists of nothing more than a misunderstanding, and that a nice, friendly conversation cures evil. It's bad enough that we allowed this philosophy to turn our justice systems into a joke in the late 60s and 70s; now a new generation of naifs want to apply it to national security, at least overseas.
The key to understanding terrorists is to accept that evil exists. Those who target non-combatants for death because they are non-combatants just to make a political/religious point use their hatred to do evil. Having a chat and showing them the door does not transform them into peaceful debate-society denizens. Lock them up and throw away the key.Sphere It View blog reactions
