An impromptu Sunday lunch
Fresh fish cooked on the bbq on the quayside
Peaceful environment with lovely food and views
Best fish ever
Lovely restaurant on the harbour, the staff showed us their catches of the day and made great suggestions, we were all pleased with our choices and watched them cooking the fish on the waters edge, some of the freshest fish we have ever eaten. They were very friendly and welcoming and able to accommodate our 10 month old baby. Only...
We have eaten here twice & both times had a delicious meal with good wine & attentive service. The fish is excellent, caught & prepared locally & it's lovely to sit & watch life in the fishing harbour while you eat. The food is well presented & the style of the overall restaurant is charming & spotlessly clean.
Highly recommend...
This is a wonderful restaurant on the quay in Ferragudo. One is surrounded by fishing nets and boats and the ambiance is lovely. The food is delicious and only fresh fish is served. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and they recommend which fish is the best for the day.
On our way to the west coast we stopped for lunch in this nice little town. We ate a fresh golden bream on the sunny terrace of restaurant Sueste. The fish was well prepared, only the salad could be better. The staff is friendly, but the place is a bit to touristic for me.
We tried this lovely restaurant on the border of the river in the after season (late October). We were rather early (19:30) and the restaurant was empty which made us a bit suspcious at the beginning. We were welcomed very heartily and were seated at a nice table. The staff had a good command of English and also spoke some...
Ferragudo is a little gem...a quaint old little fishing harbor across from Lagoa.
Plenty of eateries and seafood is king.You can find places for low budget and places for mid sized budgets. It can be crowdy on week ends but many people add to the ambiance they come by car, by bus, by small boats or even water taxis from...
Visited here in October 2016, anchored my yacht off the sandy beach south of Ferragudo.
Rang them for the water taxi, which arrived inside 5 minutes.
Lovely clean pontoon boat, very nice ride.
Food at the restaurant was excellent. The usual Portuguese covers of bread, pate, olives and marinate carrots. V enjoyable.
Bottle of house red as well.
We shared...
What a fantastic restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful and the fish was fresh and beautifully cooked. I asked for a good local wine and got an outstanding bottle at a very reasonable price. Make sure you save room for dessert - they were also very good. I really can't fault it and I'd go back tomorrow.
The staff were lovely but the service not great. The food was ok, that's all there is to say about it. Nothing special at all. Would I go back - no. Would I recommend anyone - no. There are much better restaurant in the Algarve, this did unfortunately disappoint

I've made this entry to cross-post on mangacast, and I fully intend to, just as soon as I can figure out how Feedburner works.
These reviews are also posted on my "Manga Recon" column on Buzzscope.com, and I've pretty much read them straight from the column, but I have added the occasional audio note here and there. Buzzscope is loosely associated with Midtown Comics, which is right here in the heart of New York City.
I hope to have some kind of MangaRecon feed where if you really like MangaRecon, you can just subscribe to that. I intend to include all the manga reviews as regular Ninja Consultant shows, unless I get a ton of complaints or something.
Also, sorry to Andrew - your interview will be later than ever, and for those of you waiting for part three of David Ng... maybe this weekend I'll put another show up? We'll see what happens.
Here's the manga I reviewed:

The Council of Europe Octopus Conference 2016, held in Strasbourg from 16 to 18 November, gathered 300 cybercrime experts from 90 countries from all the stakeholders. The conference noted that cybercrime is increasing, while attacks against critical infrastructure, fraud, hate speech and terrorist activities were recognised as major threats. It was confirmed that the Budapest Convention, which celebrates its 15th Anniversary with 50 Parties of the treaty - Andora depositing the instrument of ratification during the meeting - remains the most relevant international agreement for combating cybercrime, both in terms of guidelines for national legislation and as a framework for capacity building and cooperation across stakeholders. Important improvements in legal environment have been recorded in Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America, mainly guided by the Budapest convention. Cooperation among stakeholders and law enforcement agencies was underlined as a key message of the conference.
The ITU has launched the preliminary findings of the Gender Digital Inclusion Map, a research that has been ongoing since March 2016 with the aim to map projects that address the gender digital divide. The gender digital divide is a gender imbalance in terms of access to and participation in the digital world. The map is an important feature of the newly launched EQUALS: The Global Partnership for Gender Equality in the Digital Age, an initiative that brings together and coordinates a broad coalition of programmes working towards the common goal of shrinking the gender digital divide. Jointly led by ITU and UN Women, EQUALS focuses on addressing Sustainable Development Goal 5b: Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular ICTs, to promote the empowerment of women.
Capacity development is often defined as the improvement of knowledge, skills and institutions to make effective use of resources and opportunities. Widespread on the agenda of international development agencies, capacity development programs range from societal to individual level and include a diversity of strategies, from fundraising to targeted training. Capacity development for Internet-related matters comprises both the strengthening of institutional capacities (in particular for technical deployment, policy-making and implementation) and the development of individual competences (skills and abilities pertaining to the information society, including computer literacy, privacy safeguards, etc.). In the outcome documents of the World Summit on Information Society (2003/2005), capacity development is underscored as a priority for developing countries. Likewise, the outcome document of the high-level meeting of the GA on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of WSIS calls for further investments into capacity development.
Many organisations, including the ITU, DiploFoundation and its Geneva Internet Platform, APC, ISOC, and ICANN have dedicated capacity development programmes. Various regional summer schools on Internet governance also contribute to strengthening capacity, in particular for developing countries. Many of the available programmes focus on telecommunication infrastructure, technical standards, cybersecurity, spam, ICT regulation, freedom of expression, e-commerce, labour law, access, and overcoming the digital divide.
Generally, the lack of sufficient resources and the limited sustainability of initiatives remain the main challenges for capacity development. Another challenge lies in the delicate line between neutral capacity development and advocacy.
This blog post outlines trends and main actors in cybersecurity capacity building.
The author argues that cybercapacity is a marathon. It requires a common language that is not only about security, but also about social and economic development. Challenges and priorities differ across actors and successful cybercapacity builds on international cooperation and multistakeholder participation.
This blog contains reflections from a team at ITAD on how capacity building changes in light of social media and digital tools. Capacity Development 2 (CD2) is suggested as a conceptual reponse to the changes in the digital age.
The author argues that without appropriate capacity building, the ability of non-state actors to participate in multistakeholder Internet governance is limited. He discusses specific challenges in relation to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and their emphasis on multistakeholder practices.
The latest edition of glossary, compiled by DiploFoundation, contains explanations of over 130 acronyms, initialisms, and abbreviations used in IG parlance. In addition to the complete term, most entries include a concise explanation and a link for further information.
The book, now in its sixth edition, provides a comprehensive overview of the main issues and actors in the field of Internet governance and digital policy through a practical framework for analysis, discussion, and resolution of significant issues. It has been translated into many languages.
The report, prepared by the Global Commission on Internet Governance, outlines a series of recommendations to policy makers, private industry, the technical community and other stakeholders on modalities for maintaining a 'healthy Internet'. It tackles aspects such as: the promotion of a safe, open and secure Internet, human rights for digital citizens, the responsibilities of the private sector, safeguarding the stability and resiliency of the Internet's core infrastructure, and improving multistakeholder Internet governance.
This report provides a common framework for addressing the barriers related to achieving Internet for all.
The DESI is a composite index that summarises relevant indicators on Europe's digital performance and tracks the evolution of EU member states in digital competitiveness
The document, produced as part of the IGF 2015 inter-sessional work, explores some of the issues involved in enabling multistakeholder participation in Internet governance processes. It documents a number of existing practices, and attempts to extract some practices that can be considered when working within a multistakeholder model.
This report focuses on digitisation of public services and developing the leadership skills and capacity necessary for this process.
This report addresses the need for digital literacy in the creation of local content, which could accelerate development by answering to the absence of entire languages, cultures and regions online.
The report argues that cyber capacity building is crucial for development. It outlines challenges to implementation and identifies indicators of success and failure.
Individual chapters in this brief report focus on developing capacity in cyberspace, human rights in cyberspace, strengthening cybersecurity capacity, growing cyber resilience, countering cyber poverty, and cybersecurity capacity building.
The document, produced as part of the IGF 2014 inter-sessional work, explores definitions for stakeholders and multistakeholder mechanisms, with a focus on Internet governance, and examines the inputs of multistakeholder mechanisms, which essentially focus on the nature and character of participatings stakeholders.
Beginning with an overview of knowledge societies, the report discusses building infrastructure, using social media, and fostering open data. It also looks at gender sensitivity, environmental sustainability, and ethical consideration.
This report presents best practices that have been adopted by governments and the private sector globally to bridge digital divides.
Capacity development for IG should be holistic, going beyond simply training individuals. To be sustainable, capacity development should support the emergence of functional and robust institutions which are essential for facilitating innovation, rule of law, and protecting human rights on the Internet. Capacity development requires a smart mix of training, coaching, and the introduction of policy mechanisms adjusted to specific local and national contexts.
The second physical meeting of the open consultation process of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2017 took place on 14 February 2017 at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva. The WSIS Forum 2017 will be held from 12 to 16 June 2017 and is organised by the ITU, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The session started with opening remarks from Mr Malcolm Johnson, Vice Secretary-General at the ITU, who underlined the importance of bringing together multiple stakeholders in this increasingly successful event. The Forum attracted 2000+ participants in 2016, with more than 80 ministers and vice ministers and 250 high-level speakers. He added that WSIS is focusing on the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) through the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs). The Forum provides an opportunity for everyone to have a voice, both in the preparation of the event and during the event itself. Johnson said that one of the main priorities for this year's Forum is to involve the private sector more and to work with the UN regional commissions to organise regional WSIS events.
The second part of the session was dedicated to the Open Consultation Process. This meeting was the second physical meeting, part of the six-phase Open Consultation Process; the main focus of the ITU representatives was to have an active approach with all participants during the discussion. As presented by ITU representatives during the session, from this year on, the WSIS Forum will work according to five points: join, share, win, interact, and sponsor.
Join. To join the WSIS Forum 2017, the ITU's team relies on open consultations online for all stakeholders with a final deadline of 1 March 2017 for online submissions and discussions regarding this year's event. The meeting secretary added that the High-Level Track of the Forum will provide a special platform for high-ranking officials to participate in moderated policy sessions. Moreover, policy statements will be delivered during the High-Level Track by high-ranking officials.
Share. To share more effectively, the WSIS Forum 2017 team have established Action Lines to advance the implementation of the SDGs. Several participants in situ presented their ideas, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), who presented their project, Hack for Health. The main goal of this project is to encourage students to develop real-world solutions with mobile applications that will contribute to raising people's awareness regarding some important health issues.
A representative of TEDx said they will address a variety of themes during the Forum and a representative of the VR Forum noted that they will bring together high-level personalities at a unique event on live streaming education. The meeting secretary added that the UN Group on the Information Society (UNGIS) will be also coordinating and putting forward a new set of activities. He said that this year's Forum will focus on real stories, such as the WSIS Stocktaking, a publicly accessible database providing information on ICT-related initiatives and projects carried out by governments, international organisations, the business sector, civil society, and other entities.
Win. On the WSIS Prizes website, the competition is described as 'an international contest developed in response to requests from the WSIS stakeholders to create an effective mechanism to evaluate and recognize individuals, governments, civil society, local, regional and international agencies, research institutions and private-sector companies for outstanding success in implementing development oriented strategies that leverage the power of ICTs as an enabler of the development.' The deadline to submit projects to this contest is 1 March 2017; 400 submissions have already been received. The meeting secretary said projects will be awarded to ensure that they have good ambassadors for the Forum worldwide.
Interact. He also encouraged interaction with social media during the WSIS Forum. A representative of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) added that WSIS is an ideal opportunity for UN agencies to meet and to understand trends that are influencing the development of the Internet and the views of many countries worldwide. A speaker from the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) underlined the importance of having in the end of the forum strong real recommendations.
The last speaker of this open consultation, a member of the Internet Society, said that they are particularly looking forward to the Hackathon. He added that the Internet Society is planning to bring young people from different regions of the world to the Forum to strengthen youth participation. In addition, they are proposing a panel on the barriers to connectivity in small islands developing states (SIDS).
The third part of the session focused on the agenda of the Forum and the topics to be discussed. The format will include Action Line facilitation meetings (Action Lines C1 to C11), WSIS Stocktaking and Prizes, partnerships on measuring ICTs for development, a regional commissioners' meeting, the participation of UNGIS, country workshops, and thematic workshops.
Several participants from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the International Trade Center (ITC), and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) participated remotely and introduced themselves briefly. In situ, a representative from UNCTAD said that they will be devoting their time at the Forum to discussing e-commerce and SDG issues. Another speaker from Semantics in Belgium said that it would be useful to have workshops on language use during the Forum. A member of the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom to the UN in Geneva added that they will propose a workshop on a global initiative to protect children online.
The fourth and fifth part of the session was dedicated to remote participation at the Forum, the meeting secretary noting that there will be remote hubs around the world so people can participate and make comments online. He said that the aim is to reach as many people as they can.
The sixth and final part of the discussion focused on media outreach and partners. The WSIS Forum team underlined the importance of social media during the event. They said that they will use their Twitter and Facebook accounts extensively, along with the WSIS Flash Newsletters which will provide news snippets and updates on all the Forum activities. They will also have a YouTube channel and a Flickr account with a photo contest.
The second meeting of the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation on Public Policy Issues Pertaining to the Internet (WGEC), on 26–27 January, was dedicated to discussions on two broad questions: (1) What are the high-level characteristics of enhanced cooperation? (2) Taking into consideration the work of the previous WGEC and the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society, particularly paragraphs 69–71, what kind of recommendations should be considered? Participants focused on the first question and identified a set of high-level characteristics that enhanced cooperation should present, including being transparent, inclusive, result-oriented, and responsive to innovation, and giving consideration to underrepresented groups. There were divergent views on the role of non-governmental stakeholders in the policy process, and on whether new mechanisms are needed. The next meetings are expected to take place in May and October.
The index summarises relevant indicators related to the digital performance and digital competitiveness of EU member states: connectivity, human capital, use of Internet, integration of digital technology, and digital public services.
ICANN's fellowship programme is one example of how the organisation is supporting the next generation of community members. This programme seeks to create a broader and more regionally diverse base of knowledgeable constituents by reaching out to less developed regions of the world in order to build capacity within the ICANN Multistakeholder Model.
The Internet Society provides various training and capacity development activities preparing a new generation to succeed as Internet technology, policy, and business leaders.
Capacity development depends on, but also complements efforts to, bridge the digital divide and ensure equal and inclusive access. ICT was unanimously described as a great enabler to bridge gaps between and within countries. Many panellists emphasised the importance of multistakeholder cooperation, private-public partnerships, and achieving local buy-in for successful capacity building.
The Moderated High-Level Policy Session (session 204) underscored the crucial importance of capacity development by linking it to the wellbeing of populations, economic and social development, justice, equality, and social inclusion.
A number of panels stressed that capacity building is about expertise but also inclusion. Gender Equality and e-Skills Gap (session 178) emphasised gender equality and highlighted examples of individual ca-pacity building initiatives that aim to enable women to enter digital professions. Similarly, Acceleration of Girls Education and Rights to Ensure Sustainable Gender Empowerment Through ICTs (session 157) explicitly stressed the need to achieve gender equality in education and to include ICT skills in school curricula. SDG 4, calling for inclusive and equitable quality education, was the focus of Action Line C7 (E-learning) - Ensuring Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education and Promot- ing Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All (session 189), which also directly addressed WSIS Action Lines 4 (capacity building) and 7 (ICT applications, especially e-learning). Looking at Action Line 4, the WSIS Action Line Facilitators Meeting (session 236) argued that it is not the infrastructure we need to focus on but rather improving people's abilities to use applications. Inclusion in the IG process was the topic of Engaging Under-Represented Communities in Regional and Global Internet Governance Debates (session 138) which focused on challenges to participating in regional and global debates and suggested ways to better engage underrepresented countries and communities. Funding participation in national and regional IGFs and supporting local initiatives were important topics in the IGFSA Informational Session (session 227).
Examples of capacity building, including regulatory capacity and projects to build knowledge societies, were shared in Capacity Building, a Gateway for Development (session 156). From the perspective of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and the International Professional Practice Partnership (IP3), The Contribution IFIP IP3 Makes to WSIS SDGs (session 170) addressed issues of building capacity for a professional ICT workforce.
A number of sessions outlined key issues to be addressed to support capacity building. Advancing Internet Governance Principles and Practice (session 107) stressed the importance of developing IG principles. Existing principles need to be communicated and disseminated so that they are well understood at the local level, and the drafting of these principles needs to be inclusive. Focusing on the African context, How to Develop Appropriate Strategies for Linkages Between ICT and SGDs (session 171) emphasised the importance of creating infrastructure for access to ICT. Building institutional capacity needs to include African diplomats and leaders as well as NGOs, businesses, and universities. WSIS+10 and Beyond: Where do we Stand in Africa? (session 140) also addressed capacity building in Africa and focused in particular on infrastructure needs. Engaging Digital Actors, Fostering Effective Digital Policy and Monitoring Digital Governance (session 167) stressed the need for and value of synthesised knowledge on capacity building and discussed the key contributions of the GIP Digital Watch observatory in detail. With similar intentions, session 130 showcased the work of the Global Internet Policy Observatory Tool.

Modern Communication and Intranets: Tools for Successful Internal Communications
Efficient and reliable internal communication is critical for a successful corporate environment, especially if that environment is a global one. This can be achieved when executives keep their employees connected and well-informed with relevant information and do it without alienating one group or another. Meaningful communication is what makes the difference between employees who are actively engaged in their company's community or ones who avoid it because they are inundated with too much information.

Peace before death after acceptance
Acceptance is a huge word. It's only ten letters long, but has an enormous impact on human beings. In life and in death, acceptance has a way of changing perception, perhaps such as in the recent brutal murder of American journalist, James Foley.

Read the National Curator: Because Curating Minds Want to Know
I remember seeing a comedy skit, probably in the late 1990s or early 2000s, that made fun of the media's tendency to overload viewers with information. The scene started with a male anchor delivering news, and the screen included a ticker along the bottom, an over-the-shoulder graphic, and some other infographics. The more the anchor talked, the more graphics popped up on the screen. Eventually, … Continue reading Read the National Curator: Because Curating Minds Want to Know

Just hoping i can get some advice... Maybe some reassurance too.
Bub is 10 days old now, from the beginning he was an awesome feeder, attached by himself perfectly every time. The last two days though, he has stopped attaching properly. He kinda stuffs around, sucking the nipple but not attaching, latching then pulling off, then he seems to get frustrated at it. He does eventually latch on but it takes ages and by then my milk has dribbled all over his face, my tummy and both of our clothes!
I feel worried that its my fault this has happened - I gave him a dummy on day 2 and have continued to give it to him when he needs to suck to settle. He was fine for days after introducing the dummy though, so I don't get why its suddenly an issue now?

The author's first stand-alone novel after his wildly successful Soviet-era trilogy (Child 44; The Secret Speech; Agent 6) hits the ground running. While living in the London flat of his partner, Daniel receives an urgent phone call from his father in Sweden. His mother, Tilde, has been committed to an asylum, believing she is the target of a local conspiracy. No sooner does Daniel get to the airport than his phone rings again: "Everything that man has told you is a lie," Tilde says. "I'm about to board a flight to London." A shocked Daniel spends the rest of the novel listening, as his paranoid mother methodically unspools a story about an elaborate plot set in the Swedish wilderness, which includes an officious neighbor, a missing girl, and a buried secret from Tilde's past. Daniel, like us, can barely believe what he's hearing, but soon gets wrapped up in the mystery himself. VERDICT The unreliability of Tilde's narration—is she telling the truth about this sinister scheme or is she crazy?—provides the novel with a constant tension, but her deliberate and frustrating withholding of information also keeps it from truly taking off. Still, this is a worthy addition to the growing canon of Scandinavian crime thrillers that also includes Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbø.

The Farm
If you refuse to believe me, I will no longer consider you my son.
Daniel believed that his parents were enjoying a peaceful retirement on a remote farm in Sweden. But with a single phone call, everything changes.
Your mother...she's not well, his father tells him. She's been imagining things - terrible, terrible things. She's had a psychotic breakdown, and been committed to a mental hospital.
Before Daniel can board a plane to Sweden, his mother calls: Everything that man has told you is a lie. I'm not mad... I need the police... Meet me at Heathrow.
Caught between his parents, and unsure of who to believe or trust, Daniel becomes his mother's unwilling judge and jury as she tells him an urgent tale of secrets, of lies, of a crime and a conspiracy that implicates his own father.

At the start of this superior psychological thriller from Thriller Award–winner Smith (Child 44), the narrator, a Londoner known only as Daniel, receives a phone call from his father, who has retired with his wife to a farm in Sweden. The father tells Daniel that his mother is in the hospital. For months, she has been "imagining things—terrible, terrible things." Before Daniel can fly to Sweden, his father calls again to inform him that she persuaded the doctors to authorize her discharge and has disappeared. As Daniel struggles to accept that news, his mother phones to announce that she's flying to Heathrow and that everything his father has told him "is a lie." When she arrives, she offers a complex tale to buttress her conviction that she has been plotted against, leaving Daniel uncertain as to whom and what to believe. Smith keeps the reader guessing up to the powerfully effective resolution that's refreshingly devoid of contrivances. Agent: Felicity Blunt, Curtis Brown (U.K.). (June)

Mama's gone crazy, daddy's gone crazy, and Smith (Child 44, 2008) has skipped over from Stalin's Russia to the idyllic Swedish countryside for his latest thriller.The change of scene puts Smith squarely atop territory claimed by Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell and other masters of Scandinavian mayhem. Smith, who has family ties to Sweden, works a customarily Nordic twist, too, by setting family members at one another's throats—and quite unnicely, too. A frantic email ("Nothing else, just my name, an exclamation mark") alerts Daniel to the fact that something is rotten across the North Sea, where Mum has been parked in a hospital while Dad mutters worriedly about her declining mental faculties. Ah, but Mum, who turns up in London, having fled, may not be loony at all. Indeed, she has a bag full of notes about Dad's late-blooming nefariousness: "In this satchel," she intones, "is some of the evidence I've collected over the summer." Evidence of what? Well, out among the cornflowers and hollyhocks, a corpse, maybe more than one, might just lie, for Dad has a kinky, hidden side. Meanwhile, Mum is old-school enough to believe that the fairy-tale world of trolls and goblins lies on the edge of the forest, though her hypotheses about the teenage girl who's gone missing from their bucolic farm town have an eminently practical side. Smith does creepy very well, setting scenes that slowly build in intensity, and he keeps readers guessing about who can and cannot be trusted. He also has a knack for finding the ominous in the picturesque, so a candlelight procession of "women dressed in bridal white" turns into a backdrop for a discovery that Daniel isn't quite prepared to make. And, it being Sweden, even bad guys and red herrings are neat, orderly and eminently polite: "It wasn't enough for Håkan to attack me," notes Daniel. "He wanted my permission to do so."They're resourcefully lethal as well. A satisfying mystery on ground that, though familiar, manages to yield surprises in Smith's skillful telling.

I received this book at Book Expo America in New York City and author Tom Rob Smith was kind enough to sign it personally for me. The autograph just makes it extra special because inside I discovered a tale told by a skilled author in a very thrilling way. Daniel gets a phone call from his father saying that his mother had a psychotic breakdown and is in a mental hospital. He urges his son to drop everything and come immediately to Sweden. But Daniel is surprised when his mother calls next and says she is coming to him and not to believe anything his father has told him, and most especially not to mention her arrival. These two desperate phone calls take Daniel on a roller coaster ride of events which leaves him wondering which one of his parents he should believe. This is a remarkable read filled with intrigue. Page after page, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done, Tom. I can't wait to read more from you.
Author Tom Rob Smith has moved away from the recurring character Leo Demidov and 1950s Russia setting of his first 3 novels, setting this standalone novel in London and rural Sweden. He has also moved away from the action/suspense scenes that were interspersed throughout his earlier work. Instead, author Smith provides us with a psychological drama involving a Swedish expatriate's return the country where she spent her first 16 years. She returns to London in an attempt to convince her son to assist her against the local power base that is attempting to gaslight her – or, is it that they are trying to help a woman recognize and receive needed help as she begins an escalating mental break from reality? I found this novel frustrating. Smith, through his character Tilda, took a deliberate slow-paced explanation of the facts, at least as she saw and interpreted them. For my tastes, the pace was much too slow; basically, the first 6 of the 8 CDs in the audio version consisted of this narrative. I considered actually putting the CDs aside and moving on to something else, and do that to a book less than once a year! However, once son Daniel makes the decision to journey to Sweden and attempt to determine for himself what happened, the book turns 180 degrees. All of the background provided in the first ¾ of the book is needed to understand, interpret, and follow the plot twists – for me, most unexpected – in the last quarter of the novel. In my opinion, the last 25% of the book was incredible, and it needed the first 75% to serve as a base. I must give props to the narrators of the audio version of this book. James Langton provides his talents to everything and everyone except for the mother, who is voiced by Suzanne Toren. The decision to break out this important character and provide a gender-correct separate voice for her was winning decision by the director, producer, or whoever made it. RATING: 4 stars. This is a tough call. I'd LIKE to give the author 5 stars, as this book left what I believe will be a lasting impression on me. However, I cannot award that honor to a book that I also almost quit reading halfway through. Therefore, I believe that 4 stars is appropriate. Postscript – I was surprised to learn that the book, while fiction, is grounded in real life autobiography, as the author had to deal with a similar situation between his own parents in 2009.
This is by far one of the best books I have read in a long time! I brought this along with me on a week trip and couldn't put it down, it was so good. The story was so intriguing and I read it in 2 days. I gave it to my neighbor and she also loved it and we are recommending it to our book club! Excellent book!
Tom Rob Smith is the award winning author of the Child 44 trilogy, but an author I hadn't read until now. His newest release is The Farm. Daniel's parents,Tilde and Chris, for personal and financial reasons, have decided to move from England to Sweden - Tilde's birth country. They buy a small farm in an isolated community and look forward to a bucolic retirement.Daniel keeps meaning to visit, but for his own reasons, keeps putting it off, believing his parents are happily pursuing their dream. But when his father calls saying his Mum isn't well and has in fact has been hospitalized, he is shaken. Then his Mum calls, saying she has fled Sweden - and Chris - and is on her way to see him in England. She is cryptic, saying she will only reveal what has been going on in when she gets there. But, he must believe her.....his father is dangerous and her life is in danger....If he doesn't believe her, he is no longer her son. What a great premise! Smith slowly lets Tilde tell her carefully documented story, complete with her proof. The reader is inexorably caught up in Tilde's slowly built case. But Daniel is torn - this is not the father he knows. Could his mother be mistaken? The reader is never sure of what is the truth - Tilde's 'evidence' seems quite plausible, but her manic paranoia makes her an unreliable narrator. I really enjoy this style of book - not knowing who is telling the truth, trying to find the thread of what has truly happened in the narrative. I thought Smith did a fabulous job with this. It was only after I finished the book and was reading more about Tom Rob Smith, that I discovered that the inspiration for The Farm was his from his own life. (Spoiler if you click through). In fact, this book is a mirror of that situation - underlining why I thought the writing was so compelling. While Smith's personal situation was resolved much quicker, the fictional tale had me wondering until the final pages what was real and what would happen. I really enjoyed The Farm.
I've never read this author previously and did not know what to expect. Halfway through, I still did not know what to expect. I stayed up late (or early, actually) because I just had to know. I had to know the truth! Absolutely wonderful book! A wonderful find!
The synopsis of this book excited me but in the end I was a little disappointed and as a result only rated it at three stars, instead of four. Had the author provided more hooks a third of the way through, I would not have hesitated to award four. In the end I had to work hard to stay the course to receive the reward at the end. The style is mostly narration which in itself was a little tedious however the storyline was excellent. Daniel's parents retired to his mothers homeland Sweden, buying a small farm in an isolated location in the rural south. The idea of setting up a guest house to generate income never got off the ground, as Daniel found out following Tilda's call announcing her arrival at Heathrow. With mixed messages from both his parents Daniel has to unravel the truth of his mothers illness.
Tilde believes she has discovered hidden evil and corruption in her rural community in Sweden. In desperation, she flees her husband and her remote farm, turning to her son Daniel for help. But what exactly is she running from? Absolutely could not put this book down!
This novel has many of the aspects of banality, but it is anything but triteness. In fact, it bristles with originality. The plot centers on Daniel, the homosexual son of a couple who worked hard all their lives only to end up with almost nothing because of investments destroyed during poor economic times. They choose to buy a farm in a remote part of Sweden, where Daniel's mother was born and lived until she left for England at the age of 16 years. There the plan for a contented retirement falls apart when she encounters what she believes to be a conspiracy. Daniel, who has consistently put off visiting his parents because he is reluctant to disclose his sexual preference and introduce them to his significant other, receives a shocking phone call from his father informing him that his mother is not well, suffering from imagined occurrences and actually a psychotic breakdown. She is brought to a hospital and Daniel prepares to fly to Sweden, but before he can, his mother leaves the hospital and flies to London in an effort to enlist his assistance in reporting the conspiracy to the police. This begins a slow, painstaking presentation by Daniel's mother, as she unfolds her experiences, observations and conclusions on the perceived evils that have taken place in the vicinity of the farm, including a possible sex ring involving young girls and maybe the murder of the 16-year-old daughter of a leading resident of the area. At the conclusion, Daniel undertakes to investigate the allegations by flying to Sweden and tracing his mother's life from the beginning to the recent events. And it turns out to be quite a trip giving the author an opportunity to turn everything upside down. Highly recommended.
Loved it! This is the first book I've read by this author but not the last! Flawless plot and gorgeous prose make this psychological thriller a cut above. You may also like: anything by Ruth Rendell (aka Barbara Vine), the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, The Devil's Feather and The Shape of Snakes by Minette Walters and Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn.
Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite This is a review of the audio version of The Farm by Tom Rob Smith. Dan must determine whether his mother has lost her mind or has stumbled onto a conspiracy to hide the murder of a young woman. When his mother shows up at Heathrow airport, carrying a leather bag with "evidence," she asks only one thing of him - to allow her to tell her story her way, systematically. After agreeing to listen, Dan sits quietly as his mother opens the bag and displays her evidence, one piece at a time, explaining its significance as she does. Could evil exist in rural Sweden or is it merely the imagination of a woman in the midst of a mental breakdown? Tom Rob Smith leads the reader on a journey through what can be madness or a threat to Tilde, his main character's life. I listened closely, trying to determine whether Tilde is insane. Along with Daniel, I became her judge and jury. Often the evidence was confusing, but it was meant to be. I did not know who to trust; the evidence at times seemed outlandish and impossible and yet … Tom Rob Smith is a talented author. He kept me guessing to the end. He also left me wanting more. When a book leaves you wanting more you know it is good. The Farm is sure to please fans of mystery and suspense. I would be remiss if I did not mention the extremely talented readers, James Langton and Suzanne Toren. Their voices brought this book to life by contributing the perfect accents and nuances to the narration.
Intriguing concept. But it was really tedious (maybe kind of boring even?) to read and not as thrilling as I would have expected. I didn't really like any of the characters and ultimately didn't care whether mom was nutty or dad was evil. What should have been a page turner turned into a pleasant enough summer read, but nothing I'd recommend.
I've read and enjoyed other books by Snith. Wanted to this one. Read 150 pages and still couldn't figure out what this book is about. No reason to finish it.
The Farm is a terrific psychological thriller in the vein of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl and Alice LaPlante's Turn of Mind. In The Farm, Smith gives us two potentially unreliable narrators: Tilde, who is convinced that her husband and the other men in her community are embroiled in a terrible criminal conspiracy, and her son Daniel, who must decide whether his mother is psychotic or his father a villain. The story unfolds in roughly alternating chapters, as Tilde presents her "evidence" to Daniel and Daniel assesses the meaning of that evidence. Much of Tilde's testimony is gleaned from her diary; this approach, reminiscent of Gone Girl, immediately sucks the reader in, exposing us to the clues as Tilde encountered them. Tilde is a sympathetic character from the moment she arrives on the page; she tells her story so calmly and logically that the reader, just as Tilde herself, feels drawn to the inescapable conclusion that something is indeed rotten in the state of Sweden. And yet . . . what happened to Tilde in the summer of 1963? Is her personal experience tainting her perception of recent events? That is the question Daniel, and the reader, must resolve. Compared to the fully fleshed-out character Smith has created in Tilde, Daniel is rather flat. He himself acknowledges that he is "weak," but that weakness seems to be as much a failing on Smith's part. While I can appreciate Smith's desire to juxtapose Tilde's strength against Daniel's milder personality, I felt that the only purpose Daniel ultimately served was as a foil to his mother, making his sudden decision to undertake his own investigation hard to swallow. Nevertheless, what he discovers in Sweden provides an unexpected payoff and a satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend The Farm to psychological thriller fans. I received a free copy of The Farm through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Excellent read. The plot is well thought out and leaves you as undecided as the main character. You get a great mental image of people and scenes without the overabundance of description. This is one of the things that I expect from great writers. Nothing will make me put down a book faster than a too much description of setting and characters. Very well done.
Annoying at times Ending was odd

Here's a good base recipe for using frozen berries to prepare a flavorful sauce. I find that frozen berries need to cook a little to make them less watery and to concentrate their flavor. Look for raspberries that come frozen in a bag. Feel the bag to make sure all of the individual berries are loose and not clumped together. Bags of frozen berries tend to taste better than those frozen in a block.
- 12 ounces individually quick-frozen raspberries, thawed
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon strained lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Kirsch or Framboise (raspberry eau-de-vie)
- 1 Combine the berries and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- 2 Cook the berries and sugar for about 5 minutes, allowing them to boil very gently, or until they are slightly thickened.
- 3 Cool the mixture and puree it in a blender. Strain the sauce into a bowl to remove the seeds.
- 4 Stir in the lemon juice and Kirsch.
- Serving
- Pass the sauce in a sauceboat or bowl.
- Storage
- Keep the sauce covered and refrigerated before and after use.
Substitute a 12-ounce bag of strawberries or blueberries for the raspberries. Don't use Kirsch or Framboise with blueberries, though a dash of white rum works nicely.

oxide) can be recycled many times. It is the most widely used abrasive
grain in sand blast finishing and surface preparation because of its
cost, longevity and hardness. Harder than other commonly used blasting
materials, aluminum oxide grit powder penetrates and cuts even the
hardest metals and sintered carbide.
Approximately 50% lighter than metallic media, aluminum oxide abrasive grain has twice as many particles per pound. The fast-cutting action minimizes damage to thin materials by eliminating surface stresses caused by heavier, slower cutting media.
Aluminum oxide grit powder has a wide variety of applications, from cleaning engine heads, valves, pistons and turbine blades in the aircraft industry to lettering in monument and marker inscriptions. It is also commonly used for matte finishing, as well as cleaning and preparing parts for metalizing, plating and welding. Aluminum oxide abrasive grain is the best choice for an abrasive sand blasting and polishing grain as well as for preparing a surface for painting.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Alcoholism Treatment by Bruce Carruth
Book DescriptionHere is a practical and clearly written guide to the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the treatment of alcoholism and other addictions. This comprehensive volume illustrates how the focus of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) on the individual and the family increases the effectiveness of counseling by targeting the uniqueness of each individual and his or her family system. Professionals will also learn how NLP facilitates effective interventions and helps alcoholics create internal coping skills to begin and maintain the recovery process. Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Alcoholism Treatment is a wealth of innovative, state-of-the-art information on the history of NLP, basic NLP assumptions, concepts for establishing rapport with clients, and essential family participation in NLP. Each chapter directs itself either to a specific NLP technique, featuring clear case demonstrations and a step-by-step outline for applying the technique to the development of the counseling process in working with addicted systems, or to a particular group affected by addiction, such as alcoholics, children of alcoholics, or the addicted family as a unit. Clinicians focus on alcoholism and other addictions as treatable conditions, applying specific strategies and techniques--initially developed in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy--adapted to meet the demands of alcoholism and addiction treatment specialists. This important volume allows for a substantial increase in the repertoire of treatment choices available to professionals and enables clinicians to individualize treatment. An extensive bibliography is included to further assist readers in gaining additional skills in the treatment of alcoholics and other addicts.

SHAUN MALONEY, the Celtic striker, is unlikely to play again this season if early indications that he has cruciate-ligament damage are confirmed.
The young forward was left in agony just five minutes into an under-21 match against Partick Thistle on Monday, and was pencilled in for an MRI scan to assess the extend of the damage.
Maloney spent the best part of yesterday having tests on his left knee and early examinations raised suspicions of anterior cruciate ligament damage. If those fears are realised, his season is over.
Whatever the outcome, Maloney can take some comfort from the assurances of

Why should there be this desire for the death of the novel? This week I interviewed Salman Rushdie. We met a couple of weeks ago but spoke again after reports began to circulate that, because he was about to write a television show, he had issued a proclamation to the effect that writing for the small screen was better than writing novels; that the long-form narrative that television can offer had killed off the long-form narrative between hard, soft or e-book covers.
This seemed a surprising claim for such an accomplished novelist to make: and, indeed, he hadn't made it

Military and Veterans Disability System:
Preliminary Observations on Evaluation and Planned Expansion of DOD/VA Pilot
GAO-11-191T: Published: Nov 18, 2010. Publicly Released: Nov 18, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-5988
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since 2007, the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) have been pilot testing a new disability evaluation system designed to integrate their separate processes and thereby expedite veterans' benefits for wounded, ill, and injured servicemembers. Having piloted the integrated disability evaluation system (IDES) at 27 military facilities, they are now planning for its expansion military-wide. This testimony is based on GAO's ongoing review of the IDES pilot and draft report, which is currently with DOD and VA for agency comment. GAO conducted this review pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. This review specifically examined: (1) the results of the agencies' evaluation of the IDES pilot, (2) challenges in implementing the IDES pilot to date, and (3) whether the agencies' plans to expand the IDES adequately address potential future challenges. To address these questions, GAO analyzed data from DOD and VA, conducted site visits at 10 military facilities, and interviewed DOD and VA officials.
In their evaluation of the IDES pilot, DOD and VA concluded that, as of February 2010, the pilot had (1) improved servicemember satisfaction relative to the existing "legacy" system and (2) met their established goal of delivering VA benefits to active duty and reserve component servicemembers within 295 and 305 days, respectively, on average. While these results are promising, average case processing times have since steadily increased--for example, for active duty servicemembers, the average has increased from 274 days in February 2010 to 296 days in August 2010. At 296 days, processing time for the IDES is still an improvement over the 540 days that DOD and VA estimated the legacy process takes to deliver VA benefits to servicemembers. However, the full extent of improvement of the IDES over the legacy system is unknown because (1) the 540-day estimate was based on a small, nonrepresentative sample of cases and (2) limitations in legacy case data prevent a comprehensive comparison of processing times, as well as appeal rates. In piloting the IDES, DOD and VA have run into several implementation challenges that have contributed to delays in the process. The most significant challenge was insufficient staffing by DOD and VA. Staffing shortages and process delays were particularly severe at two pilot sites we visited where the agencies did not anticipate caseload surges. For example, at one of these sites, due to a lack of medical examiners, it took 140 days on average to complete one of the key features of the pilot--the single exam--compared with the agencies' goal to complete this step of the process in 45 days. The single exam posed other challenges that contributed to process delays, such as disagreements between DOD and VA medical staff about diagnoses for servicemembers' medical conditions. Cases involving such disagreements often required further attention, adding time to the process. Pilot sites also experienced logistical challenges, such as incorporating VA staff at military facilities and housing and managing personnel going through the process. As DOD and VA move forward with plans to expand the IDES worldwide, they have taken steps to address a number of these challenges; however, these mitigation efforts have yet to be tested, and not all challenges have been addressed. For example, to address staffing shortages and ensure timely processing, VA is developing a contract for additional medical examiners, and DOD and VA are requiring local staff to develop written contingency plans for handling surges in caseloads. On the other hand, the agencies have not yet developed strategies for ensuring sufficient military physicians to handle anticipated workloads. Significantly, DOD and VA do not have a comprehensive monitoring plan for identifying problems as they occur--such as staffing shortages and disagreements about diagnoses--in order to take remedial actions as early as possible. GAO has draft recommendations aimed at helping DOD and VA, as they move forward with IDES expansion plans, to further address challenges surfaced during the pilot, which GAO plans to finalize in the forthcoming report after fully considering agency comments.

Leucocyte Typing VII by Pascale Andre
Book DescriptionThe function of human white cells is dependent on a complex machinery involving a network of proteins. Their identification has posed a puzzle for scientists for many years and this book comprises the proceedings of the latest in a series of international meetings that have identified many of these entities and studied their function and clinical importance. Leucocyte Typing VII provides the definitive reference for all those working with antibodies recognising marker molecules on white blood cells. Sorting and tracing white blood cells is important in a range of clinical settings, but especially in the diagnosis of leukaemias. There is a concerted action by regulatory bodies looking for a standard against which these 'biologicals' can be assessed. The book contains the assembled work of many laboratories worldwide which jointly evaluated many hundered different monoclonal antibodies. The results of the collaborative effort reported at the meeting are published in Leucocyte Typing VII. A unique feature of this book is the complete guide to all available CD- antigens. This book is the standard reference for immunologists, cell and molecular biologists, haematologists, and pathologists working on white cell differentiation. It provides immunologists and biochemists with an up to date summary of the current knowledge of molecular aspects of different categories of human white cells (and endothelial and red cells) and provides hematologists and oncologists with information relevant to their clinical practice and research.
