I have a new podcast up at Hacker Public Radio.
It is quite well-bread.
You too can podcast at HPR. The topic need only be of interest to hackers, and everything is of interest to hackers.
H/T to Dave Morriss for fixing the typo in the shownotes.
I made this today.
It was a complete ad lib effort inspired by a reference in the first Corinna Chapman story by Kerry Greenwood. Although there is a book of Corinna Chapman recipes available, the recipe for this "Seed Bread" is not in it; in the book, Corinna, who is a baker by trade, states that it is her secret recipe, and I reckon it is.
The book also refers to "kibbled wheat" and "kibbled oats" as part of the secret recipe. "Kibbled wheat" appears to be what in the States we refer to as cracked wheat; "kibbled oats," steel-cut oats. I didn't have any on hand and, frankly, I've never been a big one for oats, except in the form of oatmeal cookies.*
I must say, my experiment was quite successful and I look forward to trying it again. The finished product is quite savory. You can click the picture above for a larger image, in which you can see the seeds embedded in the loaf. Perhaps I'll even give the oats and wheat a try.
1. Dissolve yeast in water and proof.
2 Add seeds, salt, and sugar.
3. Add white flour and stir well.
4 Add rye flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each, until dough is stiff and firm enough to knead.
5. Pour out on floured board and knead until firm and springy. If the dough feels a little sticky, knead in additional flour as needed.
6. Pour a bit of olive oil into a bowl and coat dough with the olive oil, then cover and allow to rise (approx. 1 1/2 hours, depending on heat and humidity).
7. When dough has approximately doubled in size, shape into a loaf and place in loaf pan or on cookie sheet and allow to rise for approximately 20 mins.
8. Place in oven preheated to 400 Fahrenheits and bake until a knife inserted into it comes out clean (approx. 30 mins.). If you wish a crustier loaf, place a pan of hot water in the oven and, after the bread has started to cook, brush the top of the loaf with water a couple of times, say, at the 10 and 20 minute marks.
Makes one loaf.
*I have the same feelings about oats as Dennis the Menace once expressed about carrot cake when he said, "Nothing this good could come from carrots."
Almost every recipe that calls for veal can be made with chicken. This is a quick and easy recipe that turns out a special dish.
1 chicken breast, skinned and boned (you can also use thighs or, as we called them where I grew up, "short joints")
1 cp. flour, approx.
herbs and spices to taste
1/2 stick butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbs. capers or more to taste*
1. Mix flour with herbs and spices. I commonly use pepper, tarragon, poultry seasoning, basil, garlic powder, and a bit of rosemary.
2. Slice meat into strips no more than 1/4″ thick.
3. Dredge meat in flour mixture until it is thoroughly coated.
4. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.
5. Saute meat in skillet, turning as needed, in a single layer until golden brown. If you have more than will fit at once, place done pieces in a serving dish and keep in oven heated to about 200 Fahrenheits.
6. Once all the chicken is done and removed from the skillet, add lemon juice to the skillet and mix. (If necessary, melt more butter in the skillet before adding the lemon juice.) Stir the mixture, using a whisk or fork to loosen any bits of meat sticking to the pan.
7. Add capers.
8. Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
Serves two.
*Classic piccata recipes do not necessarily call for capers; they should.
The first veal piccata I had was in a long-gone Italian restaurant in Center City Philadelphia near my hotel at 18th and Market. It contained capers and I loved it. The next time I ordered veal piccata was in a different Italian restaurant on another business trip. It contained no capers and was quite boring.
This is a little breakfast recipe that's elegant in its simplicity. It's my spin on a recipe from the Nero Wolf Cookbook.
1, Brown sausages in skillet, then drain on a paper towel.
2. Generously butter a shirred egg dish (I use a six-inch cast iron skillet inherited from my mother).
3. Sprinkle with pepper and other spices of choice.
4. Bake 15 minutes in oven preheated to 350 Fahrenheits.
5. Gently slide out of baking dish and serve.
Serves one.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve over cheese toast, that is, toast topped with melted cheese.
What distinguishes soda bread from other breads is that baking soda, not baking powder or yeast, is the rising agent. No rising time is required before baking.
There are dozens of recipes across the innerwebs, some very simple, some not so much. Here's the one I made yesterday, adapted and simplified from this one, which has a silly reliance on electrical appliances so as to seem much more complex than it is.
1. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix.
2. Cut in butter until it is thoroughly mixed in.
3. Add egg to buttermilk and beat slightly with a fork or whisk.
4. Stir buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients a bit at a time. (Note: The dough will not mix up into a nice spongy ball like a yeast dough. Rather, it will be wet and a bit sticky. Coat your hands with flour before handling it. Be ready to add a little more flour or buttermilk if needed to produce the required consistency.)
4, As soon as it sticks together, dump it out on a floured board and knead until it consents to holding itself in shape of a loaf, about four or five times. The loaf will be craggy, not smooth like a yeast bread.
6. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 375 Fahrenheits for approximately 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in it comes out clean.
Many years ago, when I bought my first copy of Craig Claiborne's New York Times Cookbook (I think I've worn out two of them and am on my third), I was intrigued by the picture early in the book on page 26 of eggs in aspic.
I finally made them this weekend.
You can watch your Iron Chefs and Food Networks all you want. I prefer cooking to watching others cook.
I have another podcast up at Hacker Public Radio.
Now it's your turn.
1 14-oz. pkg. extra firm bean curd, cut into small pieces (approx. 1/2-3/4 inch)
4 oz. (approx.) snow peas, stringed
8 medium mushrooms, quartered
1 stalk celery, sliced (no, not lengthwise)
1 Bell pepper, coarsely chopped (approx. 1/4-1/2 inch)
4 scallions, chopped
Spices of choice to taste. I used approximately
1. Prepare ingredients. Placing them separately in little bowls or saucers makes adding them easier, as they are not added all at once. They will be added in a sequence from slowest to fastest to cook.
2. Hear wok or skillet over medium heat until drops of water quickly bead up and evaporate. Add oil (use an oil that is tolerant of higher cooking temperatures, such as grapeseed or rapeseed–er–canola oil).
3. Add one-third or one-half the spices (see the note in item 4.) and allow to cook for a few seconds while stirring.
4. Add bean curd (note: do not add more than will form just one layer–you may to cook it in shifts). Cook until it starts to brown, then reserve it in a warm oven. Repeat as necessary to finish all the bean curd, refreshing the oil and spices before cooking the each batch.
5. Once the bean curd is done and reserved, refresh the oil and spices, then add the scallions, stirring them for three or four minutes.
6. Add the pepper and celery and cook for three or four minutes.
7. Repeat for the mushrooms, then for the snow peas.
8. Add the bean curd and cook, stirring, until it's thoroughly reheated. Serve over rice.
Serves four.
*Tofu is nothing more than social-climbing bean curd.
This is a good dish for the holidays. It's simple and easy and it can be prepared ahead of time and baked when the big dinner arrives.
For the white sauce:
Sauce (this starts with a basic white sauce and then gets interesting–if you can make a white sauce, you can reach the Acme of cooking: be popular; fool your friends):
Serves six.
I have a new toy, and I've been learning to use it. It's very easy to use, as long as it has been properly seasoned.
Last night I made a variation on this recipe, and it was excellent. The recipe below will feed three or four persons, depending on appetites.
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, with strings removed.
5 large mushrooms (or equivalent smaller fungi), sliced.
3 cloves garlic, minced.
5 spring onions, chopped.
1 pound raw shrimp.
Olive oil.
Teriyaki sauce.
1. Heat wok (you can also use a skillet) until water droplets evaporate in about a second.
2. Add about 1 tbs. oil and allow to heat.
3. Sauté shrimp until pink (about five minutes), stirring frequently (after all, it is a "stir-fry"). Reserve shrimp.
4. Saute onions and garlic for about a minute, then add mushrooms and peas and cook until tender, stirring frequently, until done (about five minutes). (You may need a bit more oil.)
5. Add shrimp and enough teriyaki sauce to coat ingredients lightly (about 3 tbs.). Stir to thoroughly reheat shrimp (about one minute). Serve with rice.
Crumpet rings double as excellent egg rings.
Frankly, I think that's a better use for them than making crumpets.
Spending $1.79 for a set of skewers was worth it.
Cook for about 15 or 20 minutes on the grill on lowest setting, turning once or twice to ensure even cooking. If you wish, brush them with an Italian or Balsamic Vinegar dressing while they cook.
We served them with these grilled zucchinis. The combination was so good that the same menu was called for an encore two days later.
Prep time for the entire menu, less than five minutes, plus another five to grate the lemon zest (see the link)
Nothing could beat my mother's scalloped potatoes, nor her macaroni and cheese (to call it "mac and cheese" would dishonor it). Neither dish suffered the crime that such dishes usually suffer–to swim in milk, slowly sogging to mush.
I don't have her recipes for either and I wish I did.
I made these yesterday. They weren't as good as my mother's, but they passed the girlfriend test.
It's an original recipe, but it's hardly revolutionary.
6 medium white or red russet potatoes (or 3 large Idahos).
Salt, pepper, and paprika (the real thing, Hungarian paprika from Hungary, not the sad Spanish stuff that passes for paprika in your average American spice rack*).
3 tbs. approx. chopped parsley, fresh, if possible.
Enough thin slices of sharp cheddar cheese to cover.
For the sauce:
2 tbs. butter.
2 tbs. flour.
1/2 cp. milk.
1/2 cp. approx. grated sharp cheddar cheese.
1. Boil the potatoes. Let cool.
2. Grease an 8″x8″ casserole.
3. Slice the potatoes and layer them in the casserole. Lightly sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika on each layer. Add the parsley.
4. Prepare the sauce (a basic white sauce with cheese).
5. Pour the sauce over the potatoes. Cover with the cheese slices.
6. Bake in a medium oven (350 Fahrenheits) until the cheese is nicely browned.
This is not a dish that must be served as soon as it's ready. If it's ready too early, reduce heat to 175 Fahrenheits until ready to serve. If necessary, you can prepare it in advance and reheat it for serving.
Serves four.
*Yes, there is a difference. When the kids were young, ex and I would fix them celery stalks stuffed with cream cheese and covered with your average run-of-the-mill Spanish paprika. We called the paprika "red sprinkles." Hungarian paprika has flavor–it would never allow itself to be called "red sprinkles"–it would demand to be recognized.
**Making a white sauce can be tricky. You must catch the boiling milk at just the right point, while avoiding burning the flour. This means browning the flour and boiling the milk simultaneously, one eye on each pan. It is best to place them on adjacent burners to avoid eye strain.
When milk reaches the boiling point, it will rise up in the sauce pan all at once as if it is going to erupt like a volcano. The moment it starts the rise up, pour it into the roux and the sauce will thicken properly. Too soon or too late, and the thickening genie goes right back into the bottle.
British cooking is not known for highness of its cuisine.
When I spent my junior year in England, lo! these many moons ago, I fell in love with Indian restaurants, which were as common there as Chinese restaurants were here. The one strictly English dish I really liked was steak and kidney pie.
Recently, I found a beef kidney at a local market, and I made a steak and kidney pie, using one of the recipes from Craig Claiborne's New York Times International Coookbook.
Be forewarned: the result is very rich.
1. Cut beef into 1″ cubes. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
2. Cut kidneys similarly.
3. Saute beef in approx. 1/2 the butter. Remove when browned.
4. Saute kidney in the same skillet. Remove when browned.
5. Add remaining butter to the skillet, then add mushrooms. When the mushrooms are limp, add shallots, tarragon, tomatoes, garlic, and wine. Stir in brown sauce and thyme. Bring to a boil, stirring, then simmer for ten minutes or until the meat is tender.
6. Pour the mixture into a 2 1/2 qt. casserole and allow to cool to lukewarm. (I used two 1 1/2 qt. casseroles so I could freeze one.)
7. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, slice the eggs in quarters lengthwise and place them on top of the mixture. Cover with the pie crust, being sure to make a slash so the steam can escape. (My pie crust skills are sorely lacking–the crust broke in a couple of spots.) Brush with beaten egg and water.
8. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees for half an hour or until the crust is nicely browned.
Here's another recipe from Anisha Kaul.
I made this last night. Yummers. I've modified the wording in a few spots to make it more colloquial, but otherwise this is her recipe, posted with permission.
Hard-boil the eggs, allow them to cool, shell them, then slice them in half length-wise.
Chop the onion and chilies finely.
Grind the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, cloves, and garlic together to make a fine paste.
Grate the ginger.
Fry the eggs in oil till they get golden brown on both sides. Drain the remaining oil and put the fried eggs aside.
Add chilies and fry them till they turn florescent green. (I used poblano chilies).
Add the paste of spices and the grated Ginger. Fry them for a few seconds.
Add Onions and Salt, and fry till onion gets light brown.
Add meat masala and turmeric powder and for few more seconds.
Place the fried eggs in the curry [yolk side facing up].
Cover and let boil till the curry thickens. Remember you need to boil the curry till it gets somewhat thickened; add additional water if necessary.
Serve hot with boiled rice.
My Notes:
Approximately 20 minutes prep time, 30-45 minutes cooking time.
I used poblano peppers.
We had some left-over barley and used that instead of rice. Just as good.
This is quite spicy. Be prepared.

The Effect of Increased Vocal Intensity on Articulatory Dynamics
Date: Spring 2003
Creator: Lefforge, Amy
Description: Thesis written by a student in the UNT Honors College discussing loudness in speech therapy.
Contributing Partner: UNT Honors College
The Influence of the Tongue on Vocal Production
Date: May 2002
Creator: Lindberg-Kransmo, Maria
Description: The purpose of this study is to assemble information needed to assess, understand and hopefully correct muscular hyperfunction that is related to tongue tension in singing and speech which inhibit freely, efficiently, and comfortably produced beautiful singing. This text will include a definition of freely produced, fully resonating tone for beautiful singing, major components of vocal technique, physiology related to singing and speech production, hyperfunctions associated with tongue tension, tongue involvement in the articulation of the four major singing languages, and will present exercises for training the muscles of coordination in a manner conducive to singing and speech.

Register Unification in Light of Twentieth-Century Vocal Pedagogy
Date: August 2003
Creator: Tan, Haidee Lynn C.
Description: The registers of the singing voice, as commonly understood by singers, refer to the different vocal qualities induced by adjustments at the level of the larynx and of the vocal tract. This explains why register unification can be approached either one or a combination of the following procedures: (1) resonance alignment through vowel modification, (2) register alignment through intensity exercises. The wide-spread acceptance of vowel modification has made singers reluctant in exploring other avenues of register development. If registers are laryngeally derived, there should be another way of register unification, which directly addresses the coordination of the laryngeal muscles. In support of this argument, this thesis investigates the teaching practices of a group of twentieth-century American voice teachers, who rely on intensity manipulation as the primary means for enhancing the register adjustments. Intensity exercises such as the messa di voce has long been practiced in historical pedagogy, but it is not until now that voice science confirmed its significance in register coordination.

The Effects of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (Ssri) on Auditory Measures in Clinically Depressed Subjects.
Date: May 2002
Creator: Goodale, Elizabeth S.
Description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication on auditory skills in clinically depressed subjects. Experimental subjects prescribed an SSRI were tested in a medicated and an unmedicated condition, and the test results were compared. Furthermore, the experimental group was compared with a control group consisting of normal subjects. Test measures included pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex thresholds, and auditory electrophysiologic measures such as auditory brainstem and auditory late responses. An assessment scale for depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II) was also used. Results indicated statistically significant differences for the BDI-II between the control and experimental groups for both conditions. Electrophysiologic measures indicated a significantly shorter latency for auditory late potential P1 at 55 dBnSL, and a significantly larger amplitude at 45 dBnSL for the N1/P2 component for the unmedicated group. Although the other measures showed trends, they did not reach significance.

The Relationship Between Neuropsychological Performance and Daily Functioning in Individuals with Alzheimer's Disease
Date: May 2000
Creator: Tomaszewski, Sarah
Description: The results of neuropsychological tests are often used by clinicians to make important decisions regarding a demented patient's ability to competently and/or independently perform activities of daily living. However, the ecological validity of most neuropsychological instruments has yet to be adequately established. The current study examined the relationship between neuropsychological test performance and functional status in 42 individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. A comprehensive battery of cognitive tests was employed in order to assess a wide range of neuropsychological abilities. Functional status was measured through the use of both a performance-based scale of activities of daily living (The Direct Assessment of Functional Status; Loewenstein et al., 1989) as well as by a caregiver/informant-based rating scale (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living; Lawton & Brody, 1969). Findings suggest that neuropsychological functioning is moderately predictive of functional status. Memory performance was the best predictor of functional status in most ADL domains, followed by executive functioning and visuospatial abilities.

There was a time when the competition between different engine makers in Formula 1 was just as exciting as the battle between car designers. Would one car manufacturer be able to unleash some amazing horsepower, and steal a march over a rival whose chassis may have been slightly better but whose power unit was lacking?
Remember the awesome BMW V10s of the early noughties and how they helped Williams take the fight to Ferrari? Or the Honda powerplants of 20 plus years ago that helped both Williams and McLaren secure world domination?
The inevitable curbing of costs in F1 resulted in an engine freeze, which at the time of the introduction of the latest-generation V8 engines appeared to signal the death knell for power-unit development. But the reality has been slightly different.
This week, Mercedes-Benz threw opened the doors of its High Performance Engines (HPE) factory at Brixworth to a select group of media, and the tour delivered a fascinating insight into just how modern power units are still very much a defining factor in F1.

素晴らしい!塩加減がもう絶妙で、どんどん食べちゃいます。日本で売っているアーモンドチョコとは全然違う味と食感。パッケージもかわいいので、プチギフトにも最適。 I love this! The combination of salt and almond is superb! The package is cute...it makes you want to give it to your friends as a little treat.
Sweet but with a hint of salt = delicious

I'm usually not crazy about dark chocolate that I find a bit bitter but this chocolate was really good ! The almonds give tesxture and the hint of salt is surprising but marries really well with the dark chocolate. Perfect for having with coffee or as a snack ! I will definitely order more next time !!
Addictive unique flavor!

The two Tribes are among 46 organizations nationwide to win more than $28 million in HUD grants that, in turn, will leverage an extra $18 million in non HUD investments
SEATTLE – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today awarded $240,970 to the Kalispell Tribe in Usk, Washington and $799,750 to the Colville Confederated Tribes in Nespelem, Washington under to promote 'entrepreneurial approach' to economic development in rural and tribal communities.
The two Washington tribes were among 46 rural and tribal communities in 19 states today to be awarded more than $28 million under HUD's new Rural Innovation Fund to address distressed housing conditions and concentrated poverty. This year HUD received more than 300 applications from 48 states for Rural Innovation Fund grants.
"Rural America is vast and diverse, and different communities face different challenges and opportunities," said Donovan. "Because there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to strengthening rural communities, this funding provides flexible resources to address either housing or economic development needs, or both. This is especially important for communities that may have more limited access to resources because of their distant locations. These are catalytic projects that will have an impact on their communities for generations to come."
"The entrepreneurial spirit is the "secret ingredient" that's made America the greatest economy on Earth," said Mary McBride, HUD's Northwest Regional Administrator. "And, as the competition for these grants demonstrates, that spirit is as alive and well in small towns and on reservations as in our biggest cities. HUD looks forward to working with these small businesses to help their big visions come to life."
Applicants for HUD's new Rural Innovation Fund include federally recognized Indian tribes, state housing finance agencies (HFAs), state community development agencies, local rural non-profit organizations, community development corporations, or consortia of these groups. Grantees can use their grant funding to support a variety of housing and economic development activities including construction, preparation of plans, land acquisition, demolition, homeownership counseling, and financial assistance.
HUD awarded Rural Innovation Fund grants in three categories. Seven Comprehensive grants were awarded grants of up to $2 million each to examine the social, housing and economic needs and resources of their target areas and to identify activities that will have sustained benefit in addressing these needs. Thirty-one Single Purpose grants of up to $300,000 each were awarded for more targeted initiatives, which typically focus primarily on either housing or economic development. And eight Indian Economic Development and Entrepreneurship grants of up to $800,000 each were awarded from $5 million set aside for applications for federally recognized Indian tribes and that will generate 178 construction jobs and 460 permanent jobs.
The Confederated Tribes of the Colville will use its $799,750 Economic Development and Entrepreneurship to purchase heavy equipment needed to start a for-profit woody biomass business to be called Fuel Enterprises that is expected to have 16 employees who will harvest woody biomass and deliver it to local cogeneration facilities where it will be converted into electricity.
The Kalispell Tribe of Indians will use its $240,970 Economic Development and Entrepreneurship grant to build a nursery to cultivate native plants, including over 3,000 trees from locally sourced plant stock, restore lost habitat on the reservation, fund wetland restoration and link these efforts with the initiation/development of a forestry apprenticeship.

Communication for Development is an interdisciplinary field of study and practice, combining studies on culture, communication and development and integrating them with practical fieldwork. It explores the use of communication – both as a tool and as a way of articulating processes of social change – within the contexts of globalisation.
In this programme, where the form of study strives to be conducive to the course content, progression lies in the group dynamic process as well as in the coursework itself. The multidisciplinary nature of the subject means that the same content should provide in-depth knowledge for students with different backgrounds. One major point of this pedagogical approach is to bring together different experiences. The group diversity should allow students to deepen their knowledge of their own major as well as gain a sufficient overview based on the academic backgrounds and practical experiences of other students. This will allow them to be able to work both interdisciplinary and transcultural in their future professions.
What is the relationship between development communication and the emerging, influential nexus of communication for social change, and where does social communication fit in?
Regardless of what one calls it, communication and media strategies have been utilised in development cooperation for well over sixty years. From an early emphasis on mass media in agricultural extension work, communication for development has grown to encompass a wide array of approaches and methodologies, and has gradually increased in stature to become a key driver of contemporary debates in development. Initially, communication interventions were largely oriented around the use of mass media, and existed within a principally modernising, top-down and technocratic paradigm. Among other complex forces at play, the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) debates in the 70s and 80s and the rise of critical and alternative approaches to development stretched the definition of the field. In addition to mass media, practitioners began to evaluate the need for richer interpersonal communication approaches that highlight the importance of power and culture in the success of development initiatives.
Some of the most significant changes to global development cooperation have come about as a result of this critical field of study. As a discipline, Communication for Development embraces a broad range of functions and practices which centre around dialogue, participation and the sharing of knowledge and information, all with a view to creating empowerment and sustainable social change. Development communication is no longer an emerging discipline but one which has established itself as an integral part of development planning. Labelled part science, part craft and part art, its multidisciplinary nature draws on aspects of anthropology, sociology, psychology and the behavioural sciences, and its implementation depends on flexibility, creativity and an understanding of communication processes. An awareness of the role media and communication have to play in development cooperation and diversity management have transformed the way development is perceived, mapped and implemented, and the field has pioneered some of the most ground-breaking improvements in global development undertakings. As the recent surge in new communications technologies demonstrates, it is not the tools themselves that make good communication, but rather a rich and theoretically informed understanding of the political, social and cultural contexts in which media and communications interventions occur.
Despite the fact that every year vast amounts of money are donated to developing countries, the chasm between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' continues to widen as billions of people around the world continue to live without running water, sanitation, adequate nutrition or access to basic education.
While the poor and the marginalised have always been at the centre of development, they have been the subjects rather than the objects of communication as traditional development practices overlooked a fundamental truism: that the poor, themselves, are often the best experts on their needs. Marginalised communities, historically denied access to communication tools and channels, have traditionally been passive bystanders to their so-called development as top-down, one-sided mass communication programmes delivered information without taking into account the very important specificities of context – the cultural norms and beliefs, knowledge and folklore of target populations, and how these impact the uptake of information and the potential for social change. Due to this lack of participation by target communities, most development programmes failed to achieve their goals, and a dramatic shift in paradigm was necessary to improve the efficacy and sustainability of development cooperation methods.
This shift towards participatory social processes, rooted in the customs and traditions of communities themselves, is the most fundamental premise of communication for development. Participatory processes aim to utilise cultural specificity as a tool rather than an obstacle, starting at 'grass-roots' level and developing methods that are grounded in, and take local and indigenous knowledge seriously. These processes comprise an interchange of knowledge and information, empowering individuals to make choices for themselves, and place communication at the forefront of the planning process while at the same time feedback and consultative processes ensure that communication is on-going and efficacy is maximised. Through the creation of 'bottom-up' processes, individuals become fundamental initiates in development schemes, a factor which is strongly linked to their long-term sustainability.
As the divide between the 'connected', developed world and developing countries grows, so does the need for new, innovative methods for addressing global inequality increase, and Communication for Development is the field devoted to the study and implementation of these processes. The power of media and the potential of Information Communication Technology (ICT) to educate and to address global crises such as the spread of HIV have led to exciting and creative innovations in development cooperation, and this dynamic field continues to grow and develop. As globalisation and the development of ICTs change world markets and pose an increasing threat to developing countries and their more vulnerable communities, practitioners schooled in contemporary mass communication theories and concepts have become a vital part of development across the globe.
Despite the wider acceptance of community-driven and participatory approaches to development by large multilateral and bilateral development agencies, the field continues to struggle for institutionalisation, and to be granted sufficient resources by managers and funding agencies.
Paradoxically, the role of media and communication in development cooperation has seen a strange turn after the first World Congress on Communication for Development, held in Rome in 2006 and organized by FAO, the World Bank and the Communication Initiative, in partnership with a broad strand of important organisations in the field. The summit in Rome managed to mobilize almost a thousand participants from research and practice, government and non-government. It was supposed to mark the definite break-through of the science and practice of ComDev. Instead, what happened had more the character of an implosion of the ComDev field, which only recently is gaining a new momentum. Today, we are however actually seeing a long series of new institutional initiatives, in the world of ComDev, both in practice and university curricular development. At university level, new MAs in ComDev have developed in places like Albania, South Africa, Kenya, Spain, Paraguay, the UK and Colombia. The field is finally becoming more significantly institutionalised in the world of academia, although it is still grappling with finding its identity between media and communication studies on one side, and cultural studies, political science and not least development studies on some of the other sides. The interdisciplinarity embedded in ComDev, combined with the outlined processes of globalisation, mediatisation and the proliferation of bottom-up agency are all contributing to put ComDev at a cross-roads.
Malmö University was the first to pioneer the use of an Internet-based distance-learning platform to make the education available to students globally. With its mix of online collaboration and discussion, paired with webcast seminars the entire programme can be conducted over the internet. This enables students from all corners of the globe to participate, work in their own time and attain the education. The use of the Live Lecture function in seminars makes students, equipped with microphones and webcams, able to participate in lectures and discussions online, resulting in a 'virtual classroom'. This way, students in New Zealand and South Africa can communicate and work on projects with classmates in Fiji and India, sharing ideas and working together towards the common goal of improving development practices.
As a relatively new degree, students embarking on this specialised programme have the advantage of being schooled in the latest theories and philosophies, while being given the opportunity to apply these theories and concepts to real-life projects and problems in human development through individual assignments and group projects. Geared as it is towards individuals working in the fields of journalism, media and development, ComDev fosters teamwork and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and perspectives among participants.
The final project has always been an important element of the programme. Over the past 10 years, students of ComDev have had the opportunity to apply what they have learned theoretically to a broad range of contexts and scenarios in the process of completing their projects, and field-work has been conducted in India, South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Croatia and Sarajevo, to name but a few. During their project work, students have the opportunity to explore a particular research area or topic of concern at a deeper level, and the accompanying written dissertation provides a fantastic opportunity to consolidate and further the knowledge and skills gained during the education. This project work also demonstrates a solid foundation in research, which will aid those students who wish to continue into doctoral level studies. In choosing the topic for their projects, students are free to 'think outside the box', and employ innovativeness and creativity to their field-work endeavours, and project works have included documentaries, short films, photo essays, and a wide array of dissertations presented in interesting and original ways. Students are also encouraged to join forces and collaborate on projects, as teamwork is regarded as a vital part of effective development cooperation. For a list of all the Project Works to date, see the ComDev portal, under 'History'.
The global demand for media and communication skills continues to increase as organisations such as UNICEF have made it a policy to hire ComDev practitioners, not only for international development schemes, but for diversity management and other forms of transcultural cooperation.
The UN Inter-Agency Round Table of Communication for Development has played a big role in institutionalising the field by bringing together UN agencies and international partners to discuss and debate the broad, challenging and essential role of Development Communication has to play in worldwide development cooperation. The 12th United Nations Inter-Agency Roundtable on Communication for Development had as its theme "Advancing the Rights of Adolescent Girls through Communication for Development". For example, UNICEF has recently revisited their C4D strategy and work, calling for a stronger linkage with the universities and building widespread capacity within their own global organisation. UNESCO equally recognises the importance of communication, and has included it as part of its mandate and vision, integrating communication in its policies, budget and hiring policy, reflecting the growing need for skilled communication professionals.
Former ComDev students end up working in a truly diverse variety of settings. Some of the UN agencies placing hiring ads seek 'communication for development' practitioners by name. More commonly, though, practitioners are working in positions such as information or communications officer, where their roles may include a variety of tasks, not all of which would be strictly considered ComDev. Some practitioners are able to make a living as consultants working on projects with NGOs and CSOs, bilateral aid programs (such as Sida or DFID), or with the UN and World Bank. Since skills, knowledge and aptitudes gained through an education in ComDev are relevant to a variety of job functions within the development sector, you may also find alumni working in a range of allied positions, such as conflict resolution positions or as a learning and outcomes coordinator, to name but a few.
Kerstin Gossé from Sweden was educated as a journalist, and worked as a news reporter for press and television before joining the Communication for Development Programme at Malmö University as assistant lecturer. Her experience with ComDev equipped her very well for her next position as a communications specialist at the United Nations Development Programme in Burkina Faso. Kerstin presently works with strategic communication for the City of Malmö in Sweden.
– ComDev was the perfect way to combine my skills in journalism and communication with international and development issues. The programme provided me with a more profound understanding of global development issues from social and cultural perspectives and gave me a more hands-on knowledge of how communication can be used as a tool to empower people to take responsibility for their own future and development.
– The web-based learning platform was a great tool for collaboration, networking and exchange with fellow students all over the world, which was professionally enriching and personally very inspiring. The many social challenges placed under my department prove at Malmö Stad proves that communication for development and social change is just as relevant in the industrial world as the one we still call the developing one. Lots of things need to be improved, and communication plays a key role in the efforts to improve the lives of people living in the margins of the modern, multicultural welfare state of Sweden.
Jason Hallman of the USA worked with public arts management in California and in the education department of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum before being hired as a commissioning editor for an independent scholarly publishing company in the U.S. He's been living in Johannesburg, South Africa, since 2009 where he consults with local and international NGOs on community media, knowledge management and participatory processes.
– In addition to allowing me to become conversant with sophisticated contemporary debates about the future of development, I also really appreciate my fieldwork experience.
– For my final project I received a generous grant from the City of Malmö, which enabled me to work with participatory media and storytelling as means to better understand that struggles of social inclusion among marginalised youth in Sweden. I am continuing to explore how my ComDev education will inform my 'real world' practice, but in my brief time in South Africa I have been able to see the direct benefits of both my coursework and my final project. Even though the programme was not entirely practical in nature, its emphasis on important debates around the theorisation of culture, discourse, and development itself has given me a very useful orientation as I continue to explore.

About 75% of females cannot orgasm through penetrative sex versus 90% in men that do. By using a toy while having sex, such as a couples vibrator/couples sex toy or even a vibrating penis ring, is a sure way to assist the specific situation.
Faking Orgasms
In case you ask men the amount of women they have been along with you have faked a climax, most men will say none. This the fact is that about 50% of ladies have faked a climax at least one time.
In the event you incorporate adult toys into your sexual relationship, the likelihood of reaching a climax increase dramatically.
Consider time. We're all very busy and never many people might have marathon sex sessions each and every time we've got sex. If she is lucky enough to get orgasm through penetration, it might take up to Twenty or so minutes. If she were to work with a luxury vibrator, it a few minutes.
Premature Ejaculation
Lots of men experience early ejaculation. The Mayo Clinic suggests that one in three men or about 30% of males experience PE. A useful strategy to fight ejaculation problems is to use adult sex toys for males and sex accessories. For example, penis rings help restrict the blood flow from leaving the penis. Male desensitizers are created to get him to feel less sensation and delay ejaculation to prolong sex.
Everyone Orgasms
Unfortunately, many men overlook their partner's needs. The key on the best sex is is should include an orgasm for each and every partner. This should actually be desire to any time you make love. Adult sex toys can assist you reach your main goal and cross the final line... together.
It's Alright to use adult toys having a partner and taking advantage of toys ought not hurt your partner's feelings. Sex toys are objects and never a genuine substitute for a true person.
Make sure to talk with your partner how important each person's orgasm is. The "hows" shouldn't matter as much as they "whys."
She Hates Her Body
A lot of women are embarrassed regarding their body, that may sometimes cause intimacy issues. Using adult novelties during mutual masturbation is effective in reducing the anxiety of nakedness and help create more intimacy.
In case you are ready to begin using adult toys, please make sure to read my other article: The best way to Introduce Adult sex toys from the bedroom.

Cincinnati Parking Privatization Opponents Seek Vote
Cincinnati's plan to privatize parking is being challenged by six city residents who claim the March 6 ordinance should be put to a public referendum.
The measure places the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority in charge of street parking for 30 years and off-street parking for 50 years, giving it the ability to contract with private operators. In exchange, the authority is to pay Cincinnati about $92 million now and an estimated $3 million annually for 30 years.
The city council classified the ordinance as an emergency measure needed to close a budget hole and save 344 jobs, including 269 police and fire department positions. The objectors say that's a ruse to avoid a public vote on the deal, and they want a judge to block the deal until it can be placed on the ballot in November.
"Don't believe any argument from the city that this is doom and gloom, because it's not supported by the evidence," Curt Hartman, an attorney for the opponents told Hamilton County Judge Robert Winkler at a hearing today in Cincinnati. It's "a naked attempt by the city leadership to deny the people the right to vote."
Similar disputes have arisen elsewhere in the U.S. as state and local governments consider privatizing prisons, lotteries, airports and roadways to raise revenue and balance budgets.
Chicago Plan
Chicago faces a lawsuit over the 99-year, $563 million lease of four of its downtown parking garages to an entity controlled by two Morgan Stanley investment vehicles.
The Ohio Supreme Court has said it will consider whether a nonprofit group is eligible to challenge the use of profits from the state-owned liquor business to fund a private economic- development program backed by Governor John Kasich.
Cincinnati has characterized the parking dispute as a matter of charter interpretation and called the opponents' position legally incorrect. Eleven percent of Cincinnati's downtown parking spaces are affected by the privatization plan, according to a court filing by the city. Cincinnati Assistant City Solicitor Terrance Nestor said the present estimated value of the deal is $207 million.
Winkler issued a temporary restraining order on March 6 to keep the plan from going forward until he can decide whether it must be put to a referendum. He heard 90 minutes of argument today without immediately rendering a decision.
"The ordinance shouldn't be on the ballot," Nestor told Winkler today. "Ohio law provides for emergency legislation that is not subject to a referendum."
If voters don't like what the nine-member city council has done, they can go to the polls and elect new councilors, Nestor said.
The case is McQueen v. Dohoney, A1301595, Hamilton County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas (Cincinnati).

Homemade 1963 Batmobile - level 1
17-12-2014 07:00
A man reads comics about Batman. He likes Batman very much. He wants to have a car like him.
He gets a car. He changes it. It takes him three years. Now the car looks like the Batmobile. It is very popular. It goes on auction. Somebody buys the car for 137,000 dollars.
Another man likes Batman, too. He builds a Batmobile, too. It is also very beautiful. He sold it last year. Somebody paid 4.2 million dollars for it.
Difficult words: comics (a story with pictures and with words), auction (a place where you can buy something if you pay more than other people), sold (past of sell – give for money).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
Do you read comic books?
