Kangaroo Court
“Thank you for your gallant effort against John Rolf's subdivision. Please continue your support because we need people like you who will stand up and be counted. I realise that after the disgraceful behaviour on the part of some councillors it is extremely hard for you to do.” Barbara Webdell, Mt Hercules Road, Razorback These words, written to me in the aftermath of a public meeting, sustained me through the long, lonely days of persecution and marginalisation. It would have been so easy to relinquish my independence to avoid being cannibalised by zealots but I wasn’t prepared to compromise my integrity. I pledged my commitment to the community and I wasn’t breaking that promise to satisfy the powers within. This is a record of what went on behind closed doors and the reprisal I suffered at the hands of public officials on Wollondilly Shire Council over a four-year period between 1995 and 1999.

The Day it Rained Forever
"I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me." The Day it Rained Forever is a fiction, drama novel that, while written beautifully, may also make you feel uncomfortable, as it tackles the violence and unpleasantness of gang rape. Alia Cannes, a psychologist and writer, who lives a normal, simple, working class life, finds herself in a terrifying situation one evening, when she agrees to accompany a man at a bar to his hotel room. There, she is confronted with more than she anticipated and her night turns into a living nightmare, but that's where the violence ends. The Day it Rained Forever is the compassionate, loving guidance of Erik, who reaches into the darkness to the sufferer Alia, offering hope and helping her in her silent search for a life free from the memory of her past and the violence she endured. The aim of the book is to help survivors find the courage to speak out. The author remained sensitive to the subject so no use of vulgar language has been used.
Personalized Human-Computer Interaction
Personalized and adaptive systems employ user models to adapt content, services, interaction or navigation to individual users’ needs. User models can be inferred from implicitly observed information, such as the user’s interaction history or current location, or from explicitly entered information, such as user profile data or ratings. Applications of personalization include item recommendation, location-based services, learning assistance and the tailored selection of interaction modalities. With the transition from desktop computers to mobile devices and ubiquitous environments, the need for adapting to changing contexts is even more important. However, this also poses new challenges concerning privacy issues, user control, transparency, and explainability. In addition, user experience and other human factors are becoming increasingly important. This book describes foundations of user modeling, discusses user interaction as a basis for adaptivity, and showcases several personalization approaches in a variety of domains, including music recommendation, tourism, and accessible user interfaces.
