Indigenous Science Network Bulletin
June 2002 (Volume 5, Number 3)
Editor: Michael Michie
Toyne welcomes Ruddock indigenous comments
Kakadu Man an example to all.
Statement by Commissioner for NT Northern Zone, Mr Kim Hill
ATSIC's elected representatives and staff of the Northern
Territory are deeply saddened by the passing of a great leader known
internationally as the Kakadu man. On their behalf I wish to express
our sincere condolences to his large extended family, the Bininj of
Kakadu, and his many friends.
His life was an example to all Australians. Although born at a time when there was minimal and often violent contact with white man, he was to eventually lead the way in opening up his country to visitors from around Australia and the world. He lived his life on the principles of reconciliation long before it became a national issue.
He was a great and knowledgeable leader who worked tirelessly for the rights of his people and others. But he was also extremely generous in sharing his wisdom, culture and country with Balanda.
His life inspired several books, which in turn have set benchmarks in the study of environmental and Indigenous cultural issues. He was a supporter of the Jawoyn and a crucial witness during the 1990 inquiry into the proposed mining at Guratba (Coronation Hill).
He possessed a rare quality which engendered the utmost trust and respect from people from all walks of life, be they senior government or mining officials, or just your average person or visitor. Having met him as a young fella, I will always remember how powerful his voice was and the absolute authority, as well as gentleness, it carried. All Australians have an obligation, in respect of the memory of this great man, to continue his ideals and his work. I for one am committed to doing so.
Ah Kit hopes schools will adopt 'Kakadu Man' teachings (http://abc.net.au/message/news/stories/ms_news_564613.htm)
Northern Territory Labor politician John Ah Kit hopes the book Kakadu Man, will become part of the school curriculum throughout Australia.
The book was named after Bill Neidjie, who died last week after a long illness.
Mr Neidjie played an instrumental role in developing Kakadu National Park and taught many people about the importance of conserving the park's fauna and flora.
Mr Ah Kit says Mr Neidjie's teachings can continue through the text.
"People will now start looking to buy the Kakadu Man book a lot more," he said.
"I think it should be compulsory for kids in our education system throughout the country let alone in the Northern Territory."
Conference Report: Sharing Resources, Darwin 10-11 May 2002 (submitted by Birut Zemits)
This year, the Social Educators Association of the Northern Territory (SEANT) and the Australian Association of Environmental Educators (NT) combined with the Asia in Schools project to hold a conference. The conference set out to examine the concept of 'Sharing Resources' for teaching in the Northern Territory. Themes developed were about how we share resources in
Funded through an application to the Joint Council, the conference attracted out of Darwin participants as far afield as Nhulunbuy, Alice Springs, Pularumpi and Alyangula. Within Darwin, over ten government and non-government schools were represented. The conference also attracted participants representing non-school organisations such as the Northern Territory Museum (Asian Collection), the Environment Centre, Creative Tours Asia, Parks and Wildlife, Waterwatch and the NT Minerals Council Inc.
Ash Dargan's opening gave a lively and highly popular start to proceedings on Friday afternoon. The sounds of the didgeridoo filtered through the lecture theatre at the Northern Territory University and Ash shared his knowledge about music and culture with an inquisitive audience. This was followed by the official opening by Dr Chris Burns (MP). Then, the three themes of the conference were developed by Lily Chan (Asian Perspective), Robbie Henderson (Environmental Perspective) and Birut Zemits (Audio-Visual Communication Perspective). The opening proceedings were topped off by a colourful welcome dance from the Filipino dance group.
Altogether, there were three sessions of presentations and workshops. Within each session there were three options from which to choose. Below is a brief summary of these sessions.
Seasonal Offerings
This variety was valued by the participants, whose interests were diverse but, who met together in purposeful discussions. One participant wrote in his/her evaluation that 'it reminded me of how important it is to maintain networks and 'talk teaching''.
In addition to the sessional offerings, there was a dinner function where Dr Bob Smith had us singing nursery rhymes, creating frog sound scapes and discussing the links of music and culture at the Yum Cha restaurant over a delicious banquet.
The first of the two plenary sessions raised many questions about our society and our teaching about Asia. James Bennet (NT Museum curator) and Yuliana Kusumastuti (journalist and MA student at NTU) raised questions from a non-Eurocentric view of our historical and current ties with Indonesia under the title ' Fishermen, Trafficking and Boat People-Removing the Pink Glasses'.
Our current minister for Environment and Ethnic Affairs, Kon Vatskalis, linked the themes aptly with his discussion of how people within the Greek society had changed perceptions of their environment after the Chernobyl disaster in the 1980s. As he launched AAEE CD rom, he described it as an excellent and interesting resource for teaching about the environment. He said that he felt proud that such high quality items were being developed by educators in the NT.
The second plenary opened the forum question of "What choice do we have in our use of produced teaching resources?" Georgie Barker (NT Minerals Council Inc), Kirsten Blair (Environment Centre NT) and Robbie Henderson (Waterwatch Coordinator for Arid lands Environment Centre & First Instar Environmental Communication Consultancy) presented views about decisions linked to choosing teaching resources. Suzanne Parry (NTU) chaired lively discussion from the floor. The questions behind corporate sponsorship of materials and access to relevant resources were not answered but left the group with plenty to think about.
Overall, the conference achieved its aim of bringing educators of Studies of Society and Environment in the NT together to share expertise and ideas about teaching concepts to their students or clients.
World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education - 4-10 August 2002
Marita Hyman, a member of the network in the USA, was wondering whether any other members were going to be at this conference, as she would like to meet up with them. Marita was in Australia last year and attended CONASTA in Sydney, as well as meeting up with some ASERA people. She visited me in Darwin and later visited a couple of Aboriginal communities here in the Northern Territory, at Yirrkala and Numbulwar. She is also just about to start on her PhD studies in indigenous science education at Cornell University.
If you haven't looked already, you may be interested in the list of people presenting at the conference and the titles of their presentations. You'll find it at http://www.fnahec.org/wipce2002/. Apparently they are still accepting registrations and abstracts.
ASERA Conference, Townsville, 11-14 July 2002
I expect that some members of the network will be attending this conference and I hope to see them there. I will not be at CONASTA which is being held in Hobart beforehand. Michael.

Sutherland, D., & Dennick, R. (2002). Exploring culture, language and the perception of the nature of science. International Journal of Science Education, 2(1), 1- 25. One dimension of early Canadian education is the attempt of the government to use the education system as an assimilative tool to integrate the First Nations and Me´tis people into Euro-Canadian society. Despite these attempts, many First Nations and Me´tis people retained their culture and their indigenous language. Few science educators have examined First Nations and Western scientific worldviews and the impact they may have on science learning. This study explored the views some First Nations (Cree) and Euro-Canadian Grade-7-level students in Manitoba had about the nature of science. Both qualitative (open-ended questions and interviews) and quantitative (a Likert-scale questionnaire) instruments were used to explore student views. A central hypothesis to this research programme is the possibility that the different world-views of two student populations, Cree and Euro-Canadian, are likely to influence their perceptions of science. This preliminary study explored a range of methodologies to probe the perceptions of the nature of science in these two student populations. It was found that the two cultural groups differed significantly between some of the tenets in a Nature of Scientific Knowledge Scale (NSKS). Cree students significantly differed from Euro-Canadian students on the developmental, testable and unified tenets of the nature of scientific knowledge scale. No significant differences were found in NSKS scores between language groups (Cree students who speak English in the home and those who speak English and Cree or Cree only). The differences found between language groups were primarily in the open-ended questions where preformulated responses were absent. Interviews about critical incidents provided more detailed accounts of the Cree students perception of the nature of science. The implications of the findings of this study are discussed in relation to the challenges related to research methodology, further areas for investigation, science teaching in First Nations communities and science curriculum development.

Sharing our pathways is the newsletter of the Alaskan Native Knowledge Network. The summer 2002 issue has been produced and can be accessed at http://www.ankn.uaf.edu/sop. The main story is entitled "Oral traditional knowledge: Does it belong in the classroom?"
Gapuwiyak Dhawu: A history of the North East Arnhem Land community of Gapuwiyak
This resource has been produced by the Batchelor Institute and released as a book and a CD-ROM with oral histories, mostly in language (Yolgnu Matha). Gapuwiyak is located east of Darwin in North East Arnhem Land and used to be called Lake Evella.
"In writing and researching this book the Assistant Teachers are making a very strong statement that education at Gapuwiyak is much more than 'school education'. At Gapuwiyak, for children to have a 'good' education, they not only need all the things that can be found in curriculum documents about English, mathematics, science and the other learning areas, but they also need to know about the history and culture of their community.....
This is a timely book. We live in an era when the rewriting of history according to the agenda of the government of the day, or any other organisation for that matter, seems to have become a national obsession. The writing of Indigenous histories by Indigenous peoples has become more important than ever if the journeys of learning of Indigenous people are not to lead to a series of blind alleys and dead end streets. The Assistant Teachers at Gapuwiyak are well aware of the need to guard against the potential for education to be a highway to assimilation." (Flier)
The book is $25, the CD-ROM $10, or both $30 (all prices in Australian dollars). Postage and handling is extra, and there is GST on top as well. For more information (ask for a flier) phone 08 8939 7194, fax 08 8939 7354, or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Plants, Animals and People: ethnoecology of the Jawoyn people.
The Jawoyn people living at Barunga in the Northern Territory were keen to record some of the stories about the things around them so that their young people would know about them and so white people can learn.
Students, at any level will benefit from being able to read these stories. Not all Aboriginal students have knowledge of the stories of their people and few non-Aboriginal people have the opportunity to share them. These stories are for those people who are interested to read about the environment from a Jawoyn perspective.
The price is $25. Copies are available from Batchelor Press. Ph: (08) 8939 7194, Fax: (08) 8939 7354, email. email@example.com.
Papunya School book of country and culture
Papunya is an Aboriginal community in Central Australia, about 200 km west of Alice Springs.
"This book tells the story of how Anangu from five different language groups came to live together at Papunya. From the time of the first contacts with explorers, missionaries and pastoralists, through to the Papunya art movement and the Warumpi Band, this multi-layered text finally leads us to the unique environment that is Papunya School. As an example of two way learning, it is a profound metaphor for reconciliation." (Cover)

Bush Mechanics - the series (video)
"This off-beat series follows the exploits of a group of young Aboriginal men as they travel across the central desert in their clapped-out cars. In e each episode, the Bush Mechanics are faced with a new set of challenges and a host of mechanical problems, which they solve with imaginative bush repair techniques.
Combining adventure, magic realism and a distinctive brand of indigenous humour, Bush Mechanics - the series provides an insight into both contemporary and traditional Aboriginal culture." (Cover)

The High Court has given permission for a claim to be served via Facebook in what is believed to be a first for a commercial case.
Stephenson Harwood partner Paul Thwaite requested permission to serve the claim via Facebook on Friday in a bid to join proposed defendant Fabio de Biase in a claim being brought against its client, broker TFS Derivatives, by investment house AKO Capital.
AKO Capital is looking to recover £1.3m in what it alleges were overpaid commissions from TFS Derivatives, which denies liability and contends that should the court find otherwise it should be able to recover funds from hedge fund trader Anjam Ahmad and de Biase.
In 2010 de Biase was fined by the FSA for his part in the scam while last year Ahmad was given a suspended sentence for his part.
On Friday, Mr Justice Teare granted permission for the claim to be served on de Biase after the claimant was unable to locate him at his known address.
According to a source close to the case the aim is to force de Biase to defend the claim by having him joined at this stage rather than risk further delays in the case.
Memery Crystal associate Jenni Jenkins, who is acting for Ahmad, commented: "The courts recognise the increasing power of social networking sites like Facebook. It's all very well serving proceedings at a last known residential address, but people move house all the time. Your email or Facebook account moves with you.
"If a claimant can identify the defendant from their photo and establish that the Facebook account is active, this is a perfectly sensible way of serving a claim and giving the defendant an opportunity to respond."
AKO Capital is being represented by Clyde & Co partner Neil Jamieson.

The narrow constraints of the lot produced a 'bar shaped' building which was pushed well off the street into the middle of the deep lot. The modern design is playful with a spin on the traditional New England style home where pitched roofs were turned into dramatic, light filled double height volumes.

A Hong Kong publisher best known for a memoir of the Chinese premier ousted for opposing a crackdown on student protesters in Tiananmen Square is releasing a critique of authoritarian rule that is banned in mainland China.
"The Rethinking of Chinese Civilization" goes on sale in Hong Kong on Monday, editor Bao Pu said Saturday. That is just three days before a massive Oct. 1 celebration in Beijing of the 60th anniversary of Communist rule.
The Chinese-language book by veteran journalist Xiao Jiansheng was banned on the mainland in 2007. The book is sensitive because its criticism of authoritarian governments in ancient China could be seen as a veiled attack on the current regime.
Xiao questioned the oppressive rule of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C. to 206 B.C.), usually praised by Chinese historians because its leaders defeated rival states and united the country. He also praised the political and religious freedom during the Song Dynasty (960 to 1279), seen by Chinese historians as weak because China was divided during the latter part of the period.
The book was scheduled to be released on the mainland in January 2007 by the China Social Sciences Press, part of the state-run Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, but it was pulled at the last minute because of its outlook on the two dynasties, Xiao said. Calls to the mainland publisher Saturday seeking comment went unanswered.
"I decided to publish the book because I hope it will help the country's political and economic development," Xiao told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
Bao said he decided to publish the book because it challenges conventional thinking.
"It makes very clear points. It's different from the views of most Chinese scholars," he said. "Because it's banned in mainland China, it's necessary to publish it in Hong Kong," he added.
Unlike mainland China, Hong Kong enjoys freedom of speech under a semiautonomous status that was promised as part of its transfer from British to Chinese rule in 1997.
Bao's Hong Kong-based New Century Press is best known for publishing in May the posthumous memoir of former Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang, who was ousted for opposing the military crackdown on student pro-democracy protesters at Beijing's Tiananmen Square in June 1989. At least hundreds of people were killed.
The memoir, not sold on the mainland, was crafted from secret tape recordings made by Zhao, who lived under house arrest for 15 years until he died in 2005. Bao's father, Bao Tong, was Zhao's top aide.
Xiao's editors at first asked him to cancel the Hong Kong release of "The Rethinking of Chinese Civilization" because they were worried about Bao's background, but they eventually backed down, Xiao said. Xiao, 54, is an editor at Hunan Daily, published by the Chinese Communist Party branch in southern Hunan province.
Xiao said his bosses also declined his offer to resign.

Justin Bieber To Prince William: 'Yo, Why You Bald?'
In case you were wondering how the Justin Bieber "I'm A Little Shithead" tour is going, he's now moved on to insulting British royalty for going bald because apparently everyone should have finely coiffed, Canadian Maple Christ hair, that probably softens to the touch and smells of cinnamon and gummy bears. Or so I hear. TMZ reports:
Bieber went after the Prince to Rollercoaster magazine, a U.K. publication … after the Prince's disappearing locks became the topic of conversation.
"I mean, there are things to prevent that nowadays, like Propecia," Bieber said.
He added, "I don't know why he doesn't just get those things, those products. You just take Propecia and your hair grows back. Have you not got it over here?"
WILLIAM: Hello? 007? It's William. I need you to be a good chap and inject the Bieber boy with enough chemo to turn him into bloody Lex Luthor. There's a shag with Kate in it for you. — Already plucked her, you say? Good show, old bean, good show.
KATE: William, dear, why are you holding a banana like a mobile?
WILLIAM: Inbreeding, love. Generation upon generation of inbreeding. *returns to banana* A pen that shoots lasers! Bastards never saw it coming, did they? Oh, you have such adventures, James.

Terry Francona has been introduced as manager of the Indians, who crashed from contention this season with the worst month in franchise history.
Francona was hired over the weekend by the Indians, signing a four-year contract. The 53-year-old was chosen over Sandy Alomar Jr., who served as the club's manager for the final six games after Manny Acta was fired. Francona takes over an Indians team that went 68-94, the third time in the past four seasons they have lost at least 90 games.
Francona led Boston to two World Series titles and five straight playoff appearances. He was not brought back by the Red Sox following the team's historic September collapse in 2011.
He previously worked in the Tribe's front office, and Francona said the chance to work again with close friends was the most intriguing aspect of managing the Indians.

LAS VEGAS -- The National Bulk Vendors Association has elected Steven Schechner of Capital Vending (Florence, AL) as its next president. He succeeds Bernard Schwarzli, Beaver Machine Corp., who held NBVA's top post since late 2009.
The NBVA, an organization that includes equipment operators, product suppliers and machine manufacturers serving the bulk vending industry, elected new officers on March 16 at its general membership meeting, which was held during its 62nd annual convention and trade show in Las Vegas.
The NBVA membership also elected officers who will serve alongside Schechner. Carl Morcate of Vendynamics was chosen as vice-president; Shawn Dumphy, SSM Vending, secretary; and Judi Heston, Theisen Vending Co. (Golden Valley, MN), treasurer.
The NBVA's trade show was collocated with Amusement Expo at the Las Vegas Convention Center from March 14 to 16. Amusement Expo is jointly sponsored by the Amusement and Music Operators Association and the American Amusement Machine Association, and has superseded their separate trade shows.
The NBVA, which traditionally has held its annual trade show in the spring, collocated that show with Amusement Expo for the first time in 2011. Both collocations were met with widespread approval among the association's members. The NBVA said it plans to host exhibits inside Amusement Expo for a third time in 2013.
NBVA was founded in 1950. It maintains an office at 1202 E. Maryland Ave. Ste. 1K, Phoenix, AZ, 85014.

I need your soak the chillis tamale recipe Q
Who is Pops if I may ask?
Take Chile Pods (dried red chile) de-stem them and soak them over night. Take the chile, put them into a blender, add water, fresh cloves of garlic, cumin, salt, pepper (add honey if you want to make them a little sweeter) and blend them well on puree.
Take a pork roast, slow cook it well until it is tender (overnight works). Take a fork and shred the roast once it's done. Then take your chile and mix in well.
I recommend you buy the Massa or order it if you can't get it in your neck of the woods. It's a lot harder to make Massa then if you just order it. Here is a link to something called Maseca. This generally works pretty well but it's not as good as Massa that is already made.
You will need to get corn husks as well. Once you have the Chile and Pork made, take your Massa and spread it over the corn husks. You will need to put the Corn Husks in water. Cover the husks on one side completely. Once you have done this, fill the husk with meat, role it up, folding the bottom part of the husk over and tie it if you have to. You can roll it in such a way as to tuck the bottom in but I can't really explain it to you. Would probably have to show you, which is tough.
Continue this process until you have rolled as many as you want. Once you are done making you Tamales, put them in a steaming pan. Be sure not to cover the bottoms of them with water. Just enough water to steam with. cover them and cook them until they are done. 45 minutes is usually sufficient but you will know when they are done. The massa will have turned to something like cornmeal and it will bind together to make the tamale once you have unrolled the tamale.
Good luck Amigo!
Pops is a former MOD/Member who passed away in 2009. His real name was Weldon. He went by Cbz40 on this board but many who new him called him Pops. He was older but he was older in that kind of way that makes you wiser, if you know what I mean. He was a school teacher by trade. Taught Band among other things. If you knew him, he was the sort that never had a negative way of doing things. Even when he might be correcting you, it was never in a way that made you feel as if you were being punished. He spoke to you in a way that would make it easy for you to understand what it was that was wrong and most times, you would be happy to correct the problem of your own accord. He just had a way of making you feel human about the whole thing and he made you want to be better.
That's kind of hard to visualize on a message board, I know, but that's exactly the kind of person he was.
This is why this thread is still alive. It's not only the memory of him, it's also what he brought out of a person that this thread is about. You don't ever see people treating one another poorly or without respect in this thread. You don't see the back and forth on issues and the arguing that goes on in almost any other thread. This thread is more about living up to the example Pops showed us.
Anybody is welcome to post in this thread, regardless of if you knew Pops or not, so long as you want to be a part of his example.
He was a good friend and a good person and he is missed.
Exactly --well said ABQ...and thanks --
-going to snow tomorrow and I just might make my first tamale attempt...If not I make a killer carne guisada. Got the massa --we make our on corn tortillas and I grind my own wheat for whole wheat flour tortillas. ABout how many chilles do you soak
Depends on how many Tamales you want to make. How big a roast you plan on cooking.
You already have the Corn Silks?
Probably about 7 pounds ---normal boston butt...Got everything but the dry chillies -- ran out of them
OK, well, depends a bit on how much bone and fat might be on the roast but lets say it's nominal. You can probably make a good 4 or 5 dozen Tamales out of that.
On the Chile, I'd say a 5 lbs back of dried rosted chile. If that's a little too much, it doesn't really matter. You can freeze the chile once you've made it and use it with something else.
On a side note, once you have blended the chile, taste it to make sure it's seasoned how you like it. Sometimes, it can be bitter if it's not cooked long enough so you might want to just add some seasonings. This is where a lot of people use honey or the like. I don't but a lot of people do. Just season it to your taste, however it stats good to you.
O ok very nice. Ive been on this board since forever yet really never clicked on this thread.
Morning Pops ---morning all----50 degrees yesterday , woke up to 5 inches of snow and still snowing

Morning Pops --Morning Leon...Morning All ...Tamales were pretty good --need to tweak a little Abq.
Morning Pops. Morning Fellas and good morning to any who might stop in to visit on a whim.
Bob, good to hear. That's the great thing about Tamales. Once you figure out the basics, you can make a lot of variations. Mince meat or sweet meat with heat, pork, beef, chichen, you name it. I once new a lady who made and sold Tofu Tamales. Not my thing but I guess she had a market for them so yeah.
Anyway, everybody, have a great day!
I will not now or anytime in the future eat Fish tacos or tofu tamales or anything else. It is written!

On the contrary, Keith, there are indeed ship's passenger lists to
Canada on-line, covering the period 1865-1922. They are fully
searchable and you can print or download copies of the passengers
lists to your computer. I have been successful in finding the
passenger lists for the immigration of all of my grandparents to
Canada in the early 1900s.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/11/2012 (1721 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the movies, Ron Burgundy made it look good. In the 1970s, it made Burt Reynolds the subject of envy. And during the '80s, it helped Tom Selleck make women swoon.
Ahh, the moustache, the ultimate machismo look a man can sport. Although it had fallen victim to changing fashion styles, it has been making a resurgence since 2004 as part of an international effort to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer.
Every November, a unique fundraiser gets underway during which men are asked to start the month clean shaven and then grow a mustache to bring prostate cancer and men's mental health issues to the forefront. Movember, as it is officially called, is responsible for sprouting moustaches on thousands of men's faces in Canada and around the world.
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 million Mo Bros (the name given to men who take up the challenge to grow a 'stache) to participate.
One local Mo Bro is Crescentwood resident Joe Rodrigues.
"As guys we don't really talk about our health issues," he said. "Movember at least provides the opportunity for conversations to start."
Men's overall self-health awareness is a growing concern. According to the Movember Canada website, men die five to six years younger than women on average. Suicide rates are four times higher for men than women and more than five men die prematurely each hour from potentially preventable illnesses.
"As guys we don't often go to the doctors. We prefer to sweep things under the rug and just not deal with it — at least I do." Joe said.
"Movember made me think about my own health and the health of my family and friends. If I can make a small difference by growing a mustache, then I am happy to do it."
According to research, up to half of male cancer cases could be prevented by making healthier diet and lifestyle choices. Preventative health is something that often doesn't compute for men. It's this kind of thinking that Movember's awareness and education program is working to change.
Last year's campaign helped raise more $125.7 million around the world and $301 million has been generated since 2004. Joe and his team raised $3,200 last year and hope to tally $20,000 this year.
"In addition to our individual fundraising we are planning a sud, spud and steak night at the world famous Palomino Club on Movember 15 and tons of other smaller events," Joe said.
"We want to smash our record of last year."
Getting involved is as easy as registering yourself or your team at ca.movember.com, getting a clean shave on Nov. 1 and then charting your progress with pictures while asking for donations.
"Some of the guys on our team grow 'staches that are super thick and lush. While others only sprout no more than six hairs a side," Joe said, chuckling.
"But, despite all of the ribbing they take, they know it is all for a good cause and are more than happy to suck it up for the month."
For more information, to register your 'stache, or make a donation, visit ca.movember.com or check out Joe's facebook group at Movember Team APM.

This is a truly indulgent dish, which is best appreciated after a strenuous morning on the ski-slopes — or at least a brisk winter's morning walk. It is important to use a ripe Reblochon, preferably bought a few days in advance and left to reach maturity out of the fridge. For this to happen, it should be unpasteurized. Of course, if you have a good cheesemonger you will be able to buy one ripe and ready to eat.
Serves 4
1.5kg medium-sized red potatoes, such as Desirée
1 large white onion, peeled and diced
2 thick rashers of smoked streaky bacon, diced
25g butter
1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe Reblochon cheese
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 5.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes whole, in their skins, for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the onion and bacon in the butter in a heavy frying pan over a medium heat; they should sweat but not brown.
Drain the potatoes and as soon as they are cool enough to handle peel them — the quicker the better. Slice thickly across.
Choose an ovenproof earthenware dish and rub it well with the out halves of garlic. Layer half the sliced potatoes across the base, season, then scatter over the onion and bacon mixture. Add the remaining potatoes and more seasoning.
Place the whole Reblochon on top. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180C/350'F/gas mark 4 for a further 20—25 minutes. The Reblochon should melt within its skin and the fat drip down while the potatoes crisp.
All you need is a green salad to go with it.

A brave mother diagnosed with terminal cancer is being forced to sell the family home because she can't get access to her super benefits.
Donna Penny, 40, of Warana, thought she had beaten the breast cancer she was diagnosed with at 35.
But she went for a check-up because of persistent niggling pain in her back and was told the cancer had spread throughout her bones and lymph nodes.
Last week she had to explain to her seven-year-old son that mummy's sick again and this is going to make mummy go to heaven".
"They have given me anywhere between one to five years to live," Mrs Penny said.
The dental nurse wants to spend her last precious moments with her family instead of at work.
But when she contacted her superannuation fund, Hesta, she was told she could not access the benefits until she had less than 12 months to live.
A Hesta spokeswoman said it was merely complying with federal legislation.
This states that Terminal Illness Benefit can only be released when a person has been diagnosed as likely to die in "not more than 12 months after the date of the certification".
Nor can Mrs Penny get her sickness allowance until after three months.
"I have two sons, aged 18 and seven, that's what breaks my heart - and two beautiful stepdaughters," she said.
"My poor husband. The mortgage is just too big for us with me not working.
"I want to travel, take my kids to Bali, but time isn't on my side."
Mrs Penny also wants to warn other young women diagnosed with hormone-receptive breast cancer - the most common form - to ensure they do what they can to stop their menstrual cycles as well.
"I strongly believe any woman who goes through hormone positive breast cancer and their cycle starts again needs to speak to an oncologist and doctor about ovarian suppression," she said.
"I understand many don't want to because they want to have children, but look what has happened to me."
The family has been encouraged by the support of the community. Volunteers have offered to help do a clean-up before the Pennys put the house on the market.
Their real estate agents, Minka Jenkins and Robyn Williams from Next Property Group Minyama, have promised to donate the commission on the sale to the family.
"If I had that Super money, I probably would not have to sell my house," Mrs Penny said
The cancer charity Beautiful You is also helping with fundraising efforts. Any one interested in getting involved can contact Debbie Clayton on 0409 480 250.

Biggie Munn Era Football Jersey & Helmet Style
Biggie Munn was the head coach during 1947 - 1953
In 1947, Coach Biggie Munn brought the school colors of green and white back to Michigan State football.
Biggie Munn can be credited with giving Michigan State football the green helmets with white stripes, as well as the white pants with green stripes. Both contributions have been altered in some way in 64 years, but can be found on the present teams uniforms.
Biggie Munn's final record at Michigan State was 54 - 9 - 2 earning a National Championship in 1952, a Big Ten Championship in 1953 and a Rose Bowl victory in 1954. Munn was voted College Football Coach of the Year in 1952 and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959. His teams held a 24-game winning streak and represented the Big Ten in Michigan State's inaugural season in the conference at the Rose Bowl in 1953.
View the styles that Biggie Munn's teams wore during his era:
White second generation winged helmet worn for just the 1947 season opener at Michigan.
Green helmets with a one-inch white center stripe. Three stripes on the jerseys and one down the pants.

Scientists have discovered a dinosaur-like creature 10 million years older than the earliest known dinosaurs.
It's called Asilisaurus kongwe and it's a newly discovered herbivore - or vegetarian dinosaur - that lived about 245 million years ago!
The American scientists who found it say its age suggests dinosaurs were around earlier than previously thought.
Dr Randall Irmis said: "It was to dinosaurs much like chimps are to humans - kind of cousins."
Dr Irmis was one of the scientists working on the dinosaur project.
He also said that the creature wasn't what you'd expect a dinosaur cousin to look like.
"It was a weird little creature," he said. "We always thought the earliest relatives were small, bipedal [two-legged], carnivorous animals.
"These walked on four legs and had beaks and herbivore-like teeth."

North Melbourne acting captain Drew Petrie says the Kangaroos are desperate to win their first round one clash for five years, and set the scene for a season where the expectation is to "go to another level".
With Essendon celebrating Dustin Fletcher's club games record on Friday night, Petrie said the Roos are ready to spoil the party, having geared its pre-season towards making a flying start in the crucial match-up at Etihad Stadium.
North has not won a round one game since Brad Scott took over in 2010, and Petrie says the Roos cannot afford to get left behind again - especially in a year when many external judges believe it is their turn to strike at the top four.
"We haven't won a round one game in a lot of years, so that's been a focus thorough the pre-season, to get off to a good start," Petrie said on Thursday.
"We've been playing catch up football through the back half of the last few seasons. So we've got to get off to a good start this year to hopefully hold a spot in the top half of the ladder."
In a match increasing in significance, a clutch of debutants from both teams will be thrown into the fray, with highly rated father-son pick Luke McDonald set play his first game for the Roos after a flawless summer, and Bombers youngsters Zach Merrett (second-round pick in last year's draft), Patrick Ambrose (rookie elevation) and Martin Gleeson (third-round pick in 2012) all rewarded for their strong pre-seasons.
Both teams have also included key recruits, with the Roos picking Nick Dal Santo and the Bombers selecting Paul Chapman.
The Roos are fully aware that Essendon, filled with emotion surrounding Fletcher's milestone game, Mark Thompson's return to the coaching helm and a summer with more supplements scandal fallout, face a particularly difficult challenge where round one is concerned.
The Bombers have not lost an opening round game since James Hird and Thompson returned to the club in 2011, using wins against the Western Bulldogs (2011), North Melbourne ('12), and Adelaide ('13) to springboard early season runs to the top eight.
And while much the external hype centres on North, Petrie said the Bombers were a team to fear this season, irrespective of what impact the ongoing ASADA investigation might have on certain players.
"We haven't forgotten how good they are. I think the last two years they have started as well as any team in the competition, so that's not lost on us at all," the key forward said.
"Their side hasn't changed a great deal since last year or even two years ago, so with their talent, I expect Essendon to be in the finals this year for sure," he said.
In 11 of the last 14 years, a team has come from outside the finals one year to explode into the top four the next, and many experts have predicted North will continue that trend in 2014, coming off a summer filled with key on and off-field additions.
"The external expectations haven't really filtered internal too much. But we know we are in our fifth season under Brad and it's about time - given how much better we played last year - it's about time that we take another step again," Petrie said.
"I suppose it is a compliment in a way, that football people expect us to go well, given how they analyse our list," he said.
For all of the valid talk that too much emphasis is placed on round one games, for North and Essendon supporters, season-openers have in recent years served as a reliable indicator.
Essendon's round one triumphs have ignited powerful starts to the season which have put the Bombers inside the top eight, and last year inside the top four, by round 12.
The Roos, meanwhile, have lost to Port Adelaide (2010), West Coast ('11), Essendon ('12) and Collingwood ('13) in their four years under Brad Scott and have placed no higher than 12th after round 12, and made the finals only once in that time despite strong late-season comebacks.
The Roos have needed no reminding of those statistics htis week, nor how rare it is that teams force their way into the top eight after round 12.
However Petrie said he was more confident this year, revealing the Roos were in a heavy training phase during the two weeks when they were beaten by Carlton and Hawthorn in the NAB Challenge.
Since then, he said, the players have freshened up in preparation for a round one onslaught.
"We've had a chance to rest the last couple of weeks and we'll be ready for Friday night," Petrie said.

Explore a new resource that looks at the campaigning techniques of the suffragists and suffragettes.
The Suffragettes
The suffragists failed to achieve votes for women by peaceful methods. Many women began to advocate a more militant approach. These groups became known as the suffragettes. Their motto was 'Deeds not Words'.
In 1903 Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) with her daughters Christabel and Sylvia. The WSPU adopted militant tactics. They chained themselves to railings, disrupted public meetings and damaged public property. In 1913, Emily Davison was killed throwing herself under the King's horse at the Derby.
Suffragettes were arrested and imprisoned, but continued their protest in prison by hunger strike. Although initially they were fed by force, in 1913 the Prisoners Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health Act was passed in Parliament. Commonly known as the Cat and Mouse Act, this allowed prison authorities to release hunger-striking women prisoners when they became too weak, and re-arrest them when they had recovered. Emmeline Pankhurst was jailed and released on 11 occasions.
When the First World War broke out in 1914 the suffragettes and suffragists stopped their campaign in support of the government's war effort. In 1918 - after the war - women were given limited voting rights.

Kuching, Malaysia (AFP) Feb 8, 2013
A Malaysian state minister Friday said the government would not push ahead with building a dozen new dams on Borneo island, acknowledging they have caused outrage from local tribes and environmentalists.
The proposals sparked fears that the dams would destroy pristine rainforests, endanger wildlife, and displace natives in Sarawak, a Malaysian state crossed by powerful rivers with rich jungle habitats.
"It is not a firm plan to build 12 dams. I don't think we will need that. We will only need four," James Masing, Sarawak's state minister of land development, told AFP in an interview.
Masing said the government was backing off in response to widespread criticism. Protests over the years have seen activists and locals staging blockades of roads into dam areas.
"I'm pleased that this type of thing (protests) takes place. Not all that we do is correct, and this shows we need to refine our plans and think again," he said.
The now-complete Bakun mega-dam, which is not part of the new dam proposal, has already been dogged for years by claims of corruption in construction contracts, the flooding of a huge swathe of rainforest and the displacement of thousands of tribespeople.
Despite that, the government mooted constructing more dams as part of an industrial development drive to boost the resource-rich state's backward economy.
Another dam at Murum, also deep in the interior, is nearing completion and two others are in the planning stages as part of the new proposal.
Together the four dams -- at Bakun, Murum, Baleh and Baram -- are already expected to put out nearly 6,000 megawatts of power, six times what Sarawak currently uses, Masing said.
"The protests are becoming more vocal on the ground so (the dam rethink) is a very good development for me," said Peter Kallang, member of a Sarawak tribe and chairman of SAVE Rivers, an NGO that has campaigned against the dams.
However, he said plans for the Baram and Baleh dams should be scrapped as well, noting that the Baram dam would displace about 20,000 people, compared to about 10,000 at Bakun, and destroy irreplaceable forest.
He said SAVE Rivers last month organised a floating protest along the Baram river that cruised down river for three days and was met with support along the way by local tribespeople.
Kallang and other activists have also travelled abroad to lobby against the dams, including meeting officials of Hydro Tasmania, an Australian corporation that advises the Sarawak government on the dams.
The Tasmania government corporation pledged in December after meeting the activists that it would pull its personnel out of Sarawak by the end of 2013, Kallang said.
Sarawak's tribes -- ethnically distinct from Malaysia's majority Malays -- fear that they will lose their ancestral lands and hunting and burial grounds, as the government encourages them to make way for projects and move into new settlements.
Those are equipped with medical clinics, electricity, and Internet access. But village elders and activists say alcoholism, drug use, and crime are on the increase and anger is rising over continuing encroachment on native lands.
In one of the blockades in 2011, Penan tribespeople blocked roads into their lands for a week to protest logging and alleged river pollution by Malaysian firm Interhill until the blockade was dismantled by authorities.
The Swiss-based jungle-protection group Bruno Manser Fund says about 90 percent of Sarawak's rainforests have been damaged as the state government has opened up virgin forest to loggers and palm-oil plantations.
Critics also allege chief minister Taib Mahmud, who has ruled Sarawak since 1981, has enriched himself and his family through corrupt timber and other dealings, and have called the dams white elephants.
Taib has dismissed the corruption allegations.
Critics of Taib accuse the federal government of failing to act against him because his tight control of Sarawak has kept it a vital ruling coalition stronghold.

5 Stocks Ready to Get Squeezed Higher - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- With real estate prices starting to heat up again, investors had better start paying attention to real estate investment trusts, better known as REITs.
But by and large they're not. In fact, investors still hate REITs right now -- and they're betting against them en masse.
>>5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings
Real estate investment trusts are still among the most heavily shorted classes of investments as I write, a fact that's especially surprising given the income characteristics of REITs in this toxic, low-rate environment. REITs are obligated to pay out most of their earnings in the form of dividends, a legal structure that actually makes many of them better income-generation instruments than real estate instruments (more on that later).
So today, we're focusing on five big REIT names that could be primed for a short squeeze. In case you're not familiar with the term, a "short squeeze" is the buying frenzy that ensues when a heavily shorted stock starts to look attractive again to investors, causing share price to skyrocket. One of the best indicators of just how high a short-squeezed stock could go is the short interest ratio, which estimates the number of days it would take for short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the short ratio, the higher the potential profits when the shorts get squeezed.
>>Why I Like Homebuilders -- But Hate the ETFs
Naturally, these plays aren't without their blemishes -- there's a reason (economic or otherwise) that these stocks are being heavily shorted. But for investors looking for exposure to a speculative play with a beefier risk/reward tradeoff, these could be powerful upside plays for the coming year. And my research shows that buying the biggest, most heavily-shorted stocks has historically led to superior returns.
Without further ado, here's a look at our list of REIT short squeeze opportunities.
$9 billion technology REIT Digital Realty Trust (DLR) is one of the most unique niche REITs on the market today -- and arguably my favorite name in the category. But it's not other investors' favorite name. With a short interest ratio of 18.3, it would take close to a month of buying pressure for shorts to exit their bets against DLR. That makes it a prime short squeeze candidate right now.
Digital Realty Trust is unique in that it's a technology REIT. The firm owns 16.8 million square feet of datacenters, internet gateways, and tech firm office buildings spread across the country. Exposure to such an in-demand, specialized type of properties presents a major tailwind for DLR right now -- particularly in the datacenter business, which has been growing at a fast pace as consumers' appetites for hosted data continues to grow.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for Fall Gains
Because DLR's properties are so specialized, it boasts stickier tenants than most REITs can. Most often, datacenters are built to suit a tenant's specific technology needs, so any tenant that wants to bear the costs of breaking a lease have to bear the additional switching costs of replicating their previous setup. Those high switching costs should continue to provide a nice backstop for Digital Realty Trust right now.
And DLR's nearly 4% dividend yield should be a nice backstop for investors -- particularly since short sellers have to pay it back.
Plum Creek Timber
Plum Creek Timber (PCL) is a unique REIT name too -- the $6.7 billion firm owns timber producing properties, as well as a wood product manufacturing business. Only the timberland business falls under REIT rules, with logging operations treated as a traditional taxable corporation. For all intents and purposes, though, PCL's bread and butter remains its timberland, particularly as PCL works to earn more money through recreation, development, and conservation efforts than through logging.
All in, Plum Creek owns 6.6 million acres of timberland spread across 19 states, making it one of the largest private landowners in the country. The sheer scale of Plum Creek's holdings make it unique -- and that's a big reason why the firm has been exploring nontraditional uses for its land portfolio. Logging removes considerable value from its land, whereas recreation, for instance, adds to the value of PCL's land per acre.
>>3 Sleeping Giants Ready to Bounce Higher
PCL has done some things to ruffle some investors' feathers in recent years -- and to stoke short sellers. One of the biggest is the fact that PCL has been slowly liquidating land to generate cash for its dividend, rather than relying on more perpetual sources of profitability. While concerns are warranted, investors need to remember that PCL has only been covering its dividend shortfall during a challenging time for its alternative income strategies.
The concerns seem overblown at this point, especially given the fact that the stock's short interest ratio has ramped up to 14.5. At that level, it would take three full weeks of buying pressure for shorts to run from this stock.
Realty Income
If you're looking for a consistent, monthly income check, look no further than Realty Income (O). Realty income is one of the largest commercial REITs in the country, with more than 2,600 properties in 49 states. The firm is known for its monthly dividend payouts, currently yielding an impressive 4.27% annually.
>>5 High-Yielding Stocks in a Strong Bull Trend
Realty Income is essentially the prototypical commercial REIT. The firm leases properties to tenants using long-term triple net leases, which give the firm consistent, predictable income growth without needing to worry about variables such as maintenance, property taxes, or insurance -- tenants are responsible for those costs. In many ways, that makes Realty Income a better income generation instrument than a proxy for the real estate market that many investors are looking for when they buy shares.
Conservative business practices -- such as buying existing properties with proven performance, and mitigating the risks of leasing to retailers with limited financial wherewithal -- have helped the firm thrive post-recession. That's not enough for short sellers though. With a short interest ratio of 11.9, it would take Realty Income more than two and a half weeks for shorts to cover their positions.
That outsized short interest makes this stock a prime short squeeze condidate right now.
Regency Centers
Like Realty Income, Regency Centers (REG) is a commercial REIT. The firm's strategy is built around investing in neighborhood shopping centers anchored by supermarkets, with 50 million square feet of leasable space in all. Regency's shopping centers are hand-picked by demographic -- the firm focuses on properties that are surrounded by affluent shoppers, efforts that are rewarded when the firm collects fees from strong tenant store performance. That's helped push REG's dividend payout to an annual 3.75% yield right now.
While the firm's shopping center positioning meant that it got hit harder than other, similarly positioned REITs in the aftermath of the recession (and structural elements made the firm more attuned to the ebb and flow of the commercial real estate market), Regency has largely bounced back at this point.
As with its shopping center locations, the firm courts quality in its clients. A post-recession effort to increase the overall creditworthiness of tenants has been a success thus far, materially reducing the risks of landlording over retail space. Despite all of those tailwinds, shorts have bid regency to an identical short interest ratio as Realty Income Corp: 11.9.
Douglas Emmett
Last up is Douglas Emmett (DEI), a residential and office building REIT that owns properties in Los Angeles County in California as well as Honolulu. Offices are the vast majority of Douglas Emmett's revenue, with around 2,200 individual office leases making up approximately 85% total sales.
There are some big benefits to that geographic concentration. Most important, management knows its market. That expertise has helped Douglas Emmett capture above-market rates for its properties in many cases, and helped to offset some of the risks of putting all of the firm's eggs in one or two geographic baskets. Now that commercial real estate values appear to be turning the corner in high-demand sections of California, DEI should be able to shake some of the headwinds that have left investors anxious.
It's also positive that DEI has limited exposure to residential space – residential tenants are less sticky and laws are designed to protect tenants much more than landlords. While renting apartments in sought after zipcodes makes DEI's residential exposure more attractive than most, it's best kept limited to less than 15% of the firm's total business.
A short interest ratio of 11.6 means that it would take weeks for short sellers to exit their DEI position, a fact that makes this stock a prime short squeeze candidate.

Play safely, and reduce your risk of osteoarthritis
17 October 2013
Safety Week 2013:
Play safely, and reduce your risk of osteoarthritis
Arthritis New Zealand Chief Executive Sandra Kirby's message for Safety Week 2013 is to exercise with care, and reduce your risk of osteoarthritis.
Safety Week 2013 runs from 14 to 20 October. Its goal is to encourage New Zealanders to reduce their risk of injury by: being aware of the need to keep safe during sport and recreation; and taking extra care on steps and stairs. Warming up and cooling down are important as well as listening to your body and dealing with those aches and pains appropriately.
"The most common form of arthritis in New Zealand is osteoarthritis, and a significant cause of osteoarthritis is a joint injury. Injury prevention also becomes arthritis prevention."
"We encourage people to participate in sport and recreation and generally be physically active. Appropriate exercise has been proven to benefit people living with arthritis, as well as having other health benefits. It helps with weight management, strengthens muscles and cartilage and maintains healthy bones and joints. Exercise is one of the easiest ways of helping reduce the burden of arthritis on the country."
"But it is important to not overdo it."
"Keep up your exercise. But play safely, and reduce your risk of osteoarthritis," Ms Kirby concluded.

Northern hemisphere ocean temperatures dropped sharply, a half-degree, from 1968 to 1972, atmospheric scientists report Wednesday, an "abrupt climate change" that temporarily stymied global warming until the middle of the 1970's.
Linked to a sudden influx of melted glacier freshwater in the North Atlantic, the finding in the Nature journal report led by David Thompson of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, explains a brief historical respite in rising temperatures over the last century. The National Academies of Science this year released a series of climate reports finding that surface temperatures were about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit higher in the first decade of the 21st Century compared to a century earlier, mostly attributable to burning fossil fuels and the resultant release of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere.
"The timing of the drop corresponds closely to a rapid freshening of the northern North Atlantic in the late 1960s/early 1970s," says the study, suggesting that large-scale glacial melt may have occurred. Researchers had previously suggested that increases in sulfur-rich aerosols or natural variability in worldwide ocean temperatures may have explained the plateau, but the study authors say those effects play out over longer time-scales than a four-year burst.
In the study, Thompson and colleagues subtracted Northern Hemisphere sea surface temperatures from global ones and mathematically removed short-term swings in temperature associated with El Nino weather patterns and volcanic eruptions, to reveal the sea water cooling centered south of Greenland.
"The suddenness of the drop in Northern Hemisphere (sea surface temperatures) is reminiscent of 'abrupt climate change', such as has been inferred from the palaeoclimate record," says the study.
