There is Too Much of a Good Thing, Author Argues

Share Article

Carol Cheshire’s “Are You Having Fun” cautions against the danger of habits becoming addictions.

News Image

Samuel Johnson once said, “The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt – until they are too strong to be broken.” In her new book, Are You Having Fun?: Doing All the Things You Want to Do? (published by iUniverse), author Carol Cheshire examines the roots of habits and addictions, and instructs readers in how to identify and control them.

“Habits are not addictions,” Cheshire says. “Habits can be broken easily if you want to; addictions cannot be broken easily and in a short time you have to admit to your addiction before you can make any headway.”

Learning how to recognize habits and addictions, and how to deal with them effectively, are challenges for a person living in the grip of addiction, and for those who love them. Even with training, it can be difficult to recognize crucial signs that signal a problem. Some signs are so subtle that they are easy to miss, but with some guidance this process can be less stressful for all involved.

Freedom from addiction begins only when the individual admits that there is a problem and is willing to begin the journey toward change. For a parent, there is no loss deeper than that of a child claimed by addiction, and Cheshire knows that pain.

Her experiences as a teacher, counselor, and grieving mother have all served to strengthen her resolve to educate others. Cheshire tells her story in the hopes of helping other parents, partners, children and friends escape facing the loss of another person they love to addiction of any kind.

The History of Shining Force

 Sega-16 has a exceptional article about the history of Sega’s Shining Force series. It goes into depth about various aspects of these tactical RPG games.

From the article’s intro:

“Very few RPG series stand the test of time. Sure, a few sequels might spring up here and there over the course of a few years, but how many of them last for over a decade? I can think of a couple, like Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Zelda, and perhaps a few others. These all have their charm and place in gaming history, to be sure. There is one franchise, however, that while not exactly a series per se, it has endured in one incarnation or another for almost fifteen years.

The games in the Shining series are multiple (fourteen unique releases, to be exact, with two on the way) and have spanned numerous consoles, not all of them Sega’s. From the first title, the Genesis classic Shining in the Darkness to the most recent releases of Shining Soul on the Game Boy Advance, it has morphed itself and found a way to stay alive. This is especially admirable when you consider just how half-ass Sega has treated their RPG series over the year (Phantasy Star V, where are you?). Some were straight-up RPGs, others were action/RPGs, and still others were strategy/RPGs. Yes, the Shining franchise has done it all.

The story of Shining Force is one of a name brand that has changed developers, survived developer/publisher disputes and has even seen its release platform cancelled while still in development. Personally, I’ve been disappointed to see the series stray from its roots, but maybe Sega will bring it back to the way the fans want it.

Naughty Wife Interested into Secret Affair

Hush my sexy studs! I am one of those cheating wives that are just looking for no strings attached fun. I try to keep my identity safe, so you can call me Hot Mamma. I love men that treat women gently. We are such sensual creatures and we want men to acknowledge our sex appeal and let us do what we do the best – please a man in every possible way! We have that power to turn the strongest men into little babies with our sex super power. I’m 38 years old woman that is looking for someone who will be able to satisfy me like my husband never did.  I need a stud that will make me moan and shiver out of excitement and just someone who will let me do all those kinky things I have on my mind.

I live in Dudley, UK and I would love to meet someone who lives nearby me! I also search for someone who will be able to keep our relationship strictly to himself. I can’t afford anyone finding out about us, even if we have a one night stand. I think that it’s so sexy when you meet up with someone, knowing that you have to hide. At least, it turns me on even more. So, if you are ready to satisfy someone else’s wife, then I am here for you. Come and show me a good time, because I am tired of always craving for more.

Lisa, Born 1970 from Chelmsford, Essex

open minded and looking for fun…no expectations lets just see what happens and go from thereHello, I`m lisa and I`m just a short distance away in Essex, UK – England. So, if you`re a woman, why not take a closer look at my profile and see if we might be compatible. Those that know me best think I`m really quite easy going, but you have to get to know me pretty well to see all the different sides of me. I think I`m rather slim and I suppose you`d consider me original. Overall, I have many hobbies and interests – to give you an idea, I enjoy socialising. What`s more, you`ll soon find out that I have rather special likes, and enjoy oral.

Beth, Born 1965 from Derby

Bicurious, I love to explore my own body and want someone to share the experience.My perfect sexual partner will be turned on by erotic films and masturbate whilst we watch it together.My best attribute is my femininity – I`m voluptuous and curvy although I am often complemented about my eyes and smile too.Would love to hear from you. x

I’m a single mom so don’t get much time, my friends keep calling me a milf because of the amunt of guys I let shag me but I just want to have fun while I#m still young.

I’m easy going and want sex with no strings attached. I enjoy outdoor sex and dogging, as you can see from my profile pic I enjoy sex in my car especially with some lonely truckers watching us fuck. I like to drive on the motorway with just my knickers on and flash all thetruckers, sometimes I get so desperate I goto the services and let the truckers feel me up and maybe fuck me. I’m  a slut, if you want someone who isn’t then I’m not for you.

Personality is a hard thing to describe, but I would have to say that I see myself as easy going. I`m relatively just right in build and I like to think I`m original too. You may like to know that I enjoy spending my free time on the following social drinking.

Clare, Born 1987, From Caerphilly, Caerphilly County Borough

Hi, I’m Clare and I’d love to get to know you!. I’m quite attractive, very caring, strong willed but like to feel cared for. I am very feminine and like a man to be strong for me but also a man that is not afraid to show his feelings. I’m looking to get to know people as friends first but I am ruling nothing out!.

I have been told that I’m funny, caring, very romantic, very loving and can make people smile.. Friendly people make me smile, there is nothing worse than rude and hurtful people. I am passionate about the people I love and also about standing up for what I believe in. If I had only one day left, I would like to think that I would make the most of it. Do what I wanted without worrying about the problems it could cause. I would spend it with the people I love and care for and tell everyone how much I love them and how happy they have made me through the years.

I love spending time with good people and love nothing more than to cook a lovely meal for someone and enjoy it with a nice bottle of wine and a film. I love music and singing and also photography and cosmetics. My idea of a great night is one that I am still smiling about the next day!. My favourite day out would include going shopping and for a nice lunch with friends or a loved one or going to the seaside. I feel most comfortable around people I know in places that I know but am always friendly and easilly make new friends..

At the moment I am just looking for friendship and to take the time to really get to know someone.

First Committee briefing book 2014

Published ahead of the 2014 UN General Assembly First Committee, this briefing book highlights a number of current disarmament issues and suggests ways forward.

coverThe General Assembly's work on disarmament is conducted through its First Committee. Governments often use this forum to articulate decades-old positions and table resolutions that change little in substance or result from year to year. The civil society organisations, coalitions, and campaigns participating most actively at First Committee have argued consistently that we can and must replace watered-down outcomes with alternative results that advance human security and social and economic justice.

This briefing book provides a quick overview of the state of play on some of the most pressing issues that will (or should) be addressed at this year’s First Committee. It also outlines recommendations for governments from some of the key civil society groups working on these topics.

The groups that have contributed to this book work on many different issues and weapon systems from a variety of perspectives, but they all share one thing in common: the desire for more effective, transparent, and inclusive diplomatic work at the United Nations.

Edited by Ray Acheson • Published by Reaching Critical Will, a project of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom

Full briefing book

We are delighted to offer the online version for free, but please consider making a donation to Reaching Critical Will to help us cover the costs of producing this book and the other materials and information services that Reaching Critical Will provides.

Social Media Management & Marketing Services

Social media marketing is one of the most valuable tools in your internet marketing arsenal for building a community and engaging with your customers. In an oversaturated digital market space, it remains one of the single most effective tools to stay relevant against the competition. We can manage, optimize, and grow every aspect of your social media presence so you can focus on the day-to-day activities of your business and creating value for your customers, who will be positively encouraged to engage with your brand after experiencing your robust social network strategy.

Social media management is not a “set it and forget it” kind of thing, it takes consistent work that has a congruent and instantly identifiable branding across all platforms. Done well, it enables businesses to make informed decisions on how to steer their business, without relying on gut feeling. It helps businesses to learn about the people who are purchasing their products, what they want, need, believe and how they identify with the product.

Social Media Networking is a two-way communication, a dialogue and not a monologue. It also serves to educate and engineer the exact results needed for success in business. Our strategies are based on observable metrics so we can quickly answer the needs of your potential customers by delivering the content, information, and interaction THEY want.

Twitter Services

You can do a lot with tweet, a hashtag, and simple a picture. Twitter for businesses speaks directly to people who want to discover new products, find special deals, and make a purchase from the companies they follow. It keeps customers up to date and provides a flexible and open-source communication forum for them to interact with their favourite brands, businesses and entrepreneurs.

Twitter can be used to tease, excite and seduce sales, it can also be used to fashion allegiances and synergy between your business and your target audience by appealing to the right demographics. Demographics themselves give feedback that can be used to inform businesses exactly what type of content they should be creating.

Facebook Services

Investing time into a dedicated Facebook Page makes your brand more discoverable and creates a hub for connecting with your audience. Business pages create a unique interaction with followers, providing a deeper sense of trust and brand loyalty. At Red Roxy Studios we also make use of Facebook’s inbuilt paid advertising which can provide an unfair advantage in the market place by providing a huge boost to sales based on geographic location and trends. Sharing relevant content like soft-core blog articles, behind the scenes footage, business milestones, special exclusive deals and offers also add to the user experience and keep your brand in your potential customers minds. It is through these methods that we can begin to gently influence your demographic to purchase your products and services.

Instagram Services

You can use Instagram to showcase your brand on a personal level, humanising the business and giving your customers and followers the sense that they have a say in the actual direction of your adult business. Instagram is the best social network for providing an insider look at your daily operations. We utilise the content driven aspects of Instagram and the in-built ‘stories’ functionality by designing and delivering a unique calendar of daily advertising that works a long way to raising your brands profile and driving huge volumes of traffic to your businesses landing page.

  • Competitive social media analysis

  • Topic ideation using current trends

  • Demographic analysis and strategy

  • Social media publishing calendar

  • Social customer retention and QCA.

Business Ethics, Medical Ethics And Autism

College students analyze how disruptive expertise can impression business fashions while assessing the challenges of adhering to an ethical plan in an agile enterprise atmosphere. The International Enterprise Development Institute 195 is a world non-revenue organization that represents 217 nations and all 50 United States. A method of advancing this undertaking is by choosing a normative framework and teasing out its implications for a spread of issues in enterprise. So, as you may see, ethics is indeed a matter of perspective, but all of us seem to have a general, understood restrict of how far they are often pushed. All the time do not forget that relating to business ethics, what matters is just not what makes you proud. The good news then is that this weekend’s convention was not a celebration of Donaldson’s retirement. Ethics goes past the legal necessities for a company and is, therefore, ethics

Ethicists analyzed and defended workers’ rights, the correct to strike, the ethical status of comparable price in the marketplace, what constitutes bribery and whistle blowing, and so forth. One need only have a look at the journals for the wide variety of issues that have been clarified, discussed, and argued—typically to a ethics

Business organizations generate income, and a few of this revenue is distributed to their employees in the type of pay. We believe that it’s particularly essential to influence business leaders, as tone on the high influences your entire ethical tradition of a corporation. Scherer, A.G. & G. Palazzo, 2007, Towards a Political Conception of Company Duty: Enterprise and Society Seen from a Habermasian Perspective”, Academy of Management Assessment, 32(4): 1096-1120. Even granting that enterprise ethics is necessary, many seem to consider that there isn’t any point in learning the topic. Briefly, business ethics means to conduct enterprise with a human contact so as to give welfare to the ethics

Philosophers from Aristotle to Rawls have defended positions on matters which could be understood as part of enterprise ethics. Ultimately, the senior executives did go to jail, so there’s justice, however the full lapse of ethics is famous. The first moral duty of managers is to use their enterprise abilities and keep up the great work. However businesses may impact society by trying to resolve social problems and through the use of their sources to influence states’ legal guidelines and rules. All these areas are simpler to explain than outline, and we run into the same situation when we take a look at ethics.

Good company governance lies within the eye of the stakeholder, and needs to recognise that completely different people and stakeholder groups outline enterprise ethics differently. The Compact, which was endorsed by all governments, incorporates 9 guiding rules, which concentrate on human rights, labor requirements, and the protection of the surroundings.

New Ralph Reed Ad Campaign Literally Declares “It’s Us Vs Them”

Ever since he was anointed as “The Right Hand of God” fifteen years ago, Ralph Reed has enjoyed a reputation as the Religious Right’s leading political operative.

So influential is Reed, in fact, that even his work exploiting his Religious Right allies on behalf of disgraced criminal lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s gambling clients could not sink his career, as he returned last year with a new group called the Faith and Freedom Coalition, which he touted as a more hip, more strident21st Century version of the Christian Coalition on steroids, married with, with a sprinkling of the NRA.” And the rest of the right-wing movement eagerly embraced him once again.

But at heart, Reed is just another right-wing political hack, and a pretty blatant and unoriginal one at that.  And nothing better demonstrates that the FFC is spending half a million dollars to run a more absurdly over-the-top radio ad than you could even imagine:

The Faith and Freedom Coalition will announce Tuesday evening that it is launching a $500,000 radio ad campaign to increase evangelical and conservative turnout next week.

The socially conservative group, led by Ralph Reed, will target 18 House and Senate races with the independent expenditure effort.

At the top of its list is the Nevada Senate contest, where Republican Sharron Angle is trying to unseat Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid. The group will also debut ads bolstering the Republican nominees in the tight Colorado and Washington Senate races.

Incumbent House Democrats being targeted by the group are Ciro Rodriguez (Texas), Paul Kanjorski (Pennsylvania), Jerry McNerney and Loretta Sanchez (California), Tom Perriello (Virginia), Sanford Bishop and Jim Marshall (Georgia), John Spratt (South Carolina), John Boccieri (Ohio), Allen Boyd and Ron Klein (Florida), John Salazar (Colorado), Leonard Boswell (Iowa) and Lincoln Davis (Tennessee).

Here is ad Reed is running against Harry Reid and its theme is literally “us vs. them” – you really need to listen to it in order to fully understand just how truly awful it is:

It’s Us versus Them. Big government versus a big belief in faith and freedom. Sharron Angle versus Harry Reid.

Reid is a “them,” like Obama, like Pelosi. He voted for their stimulus plan that only wasted our money, civilian trials for foreign terrorists, and government-run health care.

Angle is one of us. She says it is faith in God and the freedom to become all we want that made America great.

We must choose an “us.” Someone who gets it, will protect our freedom, and defend our faith.

Please, vote faith, vote freedom, vote Angle.

It’s Us versus Them.

The various other versions of the ad can be found here.

The Right truly has become a parody of itself.

Monochromatic Solitude

Hunter T. Simmons, 16
from a small village
in upstate New York

I feel unopened. I feel like art that no one has seen. I feel alone. The type of loneliness I feel is not the kind that leaves your hands cold, bed empty, and lips dry - it's the kind of lonely that makes you strong. The kind of solitude that makes you appreciate yourself and think of yourself as a masterpiece. No one has seen who I really am. They have seen me in dimensions that I have chosen to reveal - but I am yet to be seen in color.

You'll see my Danube River Blue when I use your shoulder to cry on. You'll see my pulsating red as I rage in jealousy. You'll see my cold lipped purple when we skinny dip in the neighbor's pool. It takes time for these colors to bleed through people, but once they do... they leave stains on the hearts of people who see them. It's amazing what paintings your energy can create on the hearts of others.

U.S. Marshals To Sell First of Rita Crundwell Assets

U.S. Marshals To Sell First of Rita Crundwell Assets:
Luxury Motor Home
Washington – The U.S. Marshals Service is selling the first of Rita Crundwell’s assets, a luxury motor home, via a sealed bid sale. Crundwell, 59, has been federally charged with wire fraud in U.S. District Court in Northern Illinois.

The 2009 Liberty Coach Motor Home has a minimum bid of $1 million. Bids will be accepted until 2 p.m. CDT August 1. Public viewings will be available by appointment only on July 23 and July 27 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. CDT.

Crundwell, the former comptroller of Dixon, Ill., has been indicted for allegedly fraudulently obtaining more than $53 million from the city since 1990 and using the proceeds to finance her horse breeding business and lavish lifestyle.

Should the government prevail in its civil and criminal actions against Crundwell, net proceeds from the sale of the defendant’s forfeited assets will be applied toward restitution to the city of Dixon.

Note to media: Media access will be granted by appointment only during the public viewing dates and times: July 23 and July 27 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. CDT. Call (414) 297-1144/4486 to schedule an appointment.

Street Fighter: The Movie - What Went Wrong; A Look Behind A Trainwreck

Back in 2015, Chris Plante wrote a fascinating article for Polygon on the troubled production of the now infamous Street Fighter movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. By now, most of us know that it was just a huge mess right from the get-go, and that there was a whole lotta trouble brewing behind the scenes, but I don't think most of you know just how screwed up things really were.

We can all agree that Street Fighter was not the film we were hoping for. In fact, it's just awful, yet it's still fun because it's awful in a very cheesy way. One thing is for sure, it's never boring. Yes it's highly cheesy and unintentionally silly, but damned if it isn't also entertaining in it's very own "it's a disaster that I can't take my eyes off of" kinda way. Unfortunately the film didn't mirror the awesomeness of the Street Fighter games. Though I feel that only "some" of the characters were represented fairly decently, a vast majority were not, and that was only one of the many, many innumerable problems with this.

Legendary action film screenwriter Steven E. de Souza was set to make his feature film directorial debut, after being a hit-maker for others having written Commando, 48 Hrs., Another 48 Hrs. Die Hard 1 & 2 and Ricochet by this point. He wanted to transition to director as well, and what better way than with a live action Street Fighter film that would also be starring Jean-Claude Van Damme? Well, let's just say it was a nightmare right from the start, albeit a fascinating one. Plante delivers a fantastic and thoroughly engrossing article that delves deep into what went wrong during the production of this ill-fated disaster. It's so entertaining in fact that I hope someone turns this into a feature length documentary. That would just be amazing. In the meantime, enjoy this highly entertaining article from Chris Plante HERE.

  1. Ah Street Fighter. I watched this a ton as a kid along with all the other terrible movie adaptations Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, Double Dragon. I knew it was a terrible movie - how is there so little fighting in the film given the source material - but it's fun in a goofy sort of way. Raul Julia's dialogue in particular is awesome. "For me it was... Tuesday".

In social situations, a good host always makes sure visitors are always taken care of. Why should it be any different on the web? With our services, we ensure your site is always functioning up-to-speed and most importantly, accessible at all hours of the day.

What Is Web Hosting?

Web hosting is essentially the service allowing your site to be online. Companies offering hosting maintain a number of servers that not only store the data and information your website contains, but keep it connected to the internet and allow for its day to day operations to take place.

Effective hosts typically offer support across a number of different functions on a site. Some services one would expect to see in terms of hosting include

  • Email Hosting
  • Domain Name Servicing
  • File Hosting

Certain hosts are more-feature laden than others. Oftentimes, this will be apparent in their pricing, with operations hosting greater bandwidth needs charging more.

Dog Names and People Names

It's bad when you meet a person walking a dog, and then the next time you see them you know the dog's name but not their name. It's not uncommon to see a cute dog in the street and bend down to pet it and then asks its name. It's fairly rare to follow-up with the owner and ask their name. Dog names are much easier to remember because they're usually odder or more dynamic than human names, and on the rare day that you meet a dog named Josh, well, then that seems ever weirder so you remember it.

Middle School Guidance Counselor

I was watching a World War II documentary the other day and a veteran was talking about when his crew landed on the beaches in Normandy. He said that his commander told them that at least a quarter of them would die storming beach, and then pointed to roughly a quarter of their boat's load and said it would be them. This veteran went on to say that he considered it a very odd way to try to motivate a group of men. I totally get it, my guidance counselor did the same thing in middle school. He asked an auditorium full of students how many of us thought we'd go to college. Everyone raised their hands, and he told us statistically only about a quarter would make it there. Then he indicated a quarter of the room and said these people represented who would go to college. To me it didn't make any sense, but then again I was in the 3/4 who he indicated would not go to college, so I didn't try to over-think it.

Raymond Dart and the Origins of Palaeoanthropology in SA

By Jane Carruthers FRSSAf

The name of Raymond Dart (1893-1988) is well known in South African and international scientific circles. His contribution to the developing field of palaeoanthropology in the early part of the twentieth century is immense. His successors have been many and varied, and even now they are discovering and explaining the many, often controversial, aspects of the discipline that he so unexpectedly founded in South Africa.

Raymond Dart

            Dart was Australian by birth, and as Robin Derricourt – University of New South Wales historian of archaeology – has argued, also by temperament: ‘the brashness of an outsider to a world of science dominated by metropolitan Europe: the independent Australian character’. The Dart family lived in the Brisbane inner suburb of Towoong where Dart senior owned a shop, but there was also a larger family farm property in the small town of Laidley, about 80km west of Brisbane. As one of nine children, higher education for Dart depended on his obtaining scholarships, in which he was successful. He gained a B.Sc. (1913) and Honours (1916) from the University of Queensland, one of the first students at that then-new university, established in 1909. He went on to obtain a medical degree at the University of Sydney. After a year as an Australian army doctor in the last year of World War I, he was made senior demonstrator at University College, London. At first he was an assistant to fellow Australian anatomist Grafton (later Sir Grafton) Elliot Smith, then living in London and who had been a Fellow of the Royal Society since 1907. After a year in the USA, where he met and married his first wife, Dora Tyree, Dart returned to University College.

            Dart was encouraged by Smith to apply for the position of Professor of Anatomy at the new University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg. He was duly appointed and arrived in January 1923. He was, however, far from enthusiastic about moving to this outpost of the British Empire where he would be distant from important scientific colleagues and conversations taking place in Europe. His predecessor at Wits had been anatomist Edward Stibbe, whose short term as Professor (1919-1922) had ended with his enforced resignation. In the narrow-minded mores of the time, Stibbe – a married man – had been found to be having an affair with the university’s head typist. The whole atmosphere of Wits, with its eccentric and extremely young principal, Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr, and his domineering mother Deborah, was far from attractive. Dart’s own family was strongly religious and fundamentalist, and in accepting the worldview of evolution and rebelling against the family values – as he did at university – relocating to conservative South Africa held little appeal.

            No sooner, however, had Dart settled into his new academic home than his international reputation was made, although this was not immediately apparent. In many publications, whether scholarly articles, books, and other anecdotal accounts – and Dart’s autobiography – the story is recounted how, in December 1924, a fossil from the Buxton Limeworks near Taung, now in the North West Province, came to his attention through the interventions of Josephine Salmons, his first female student, and his Wits colleague, Robert Young, Professor of Geology. Within just over a month, after freeing the fossil – a skull and an endocast – from the surrounding matrix (using his wife’s sharpened knitting needles) Dart had completed a paper on what was soon dubbed the ‘Taung child’. He named it Australopithecus africanus, and declared it to be ‘intermediate between living anthropoids and man’. The paper was published in Nature on 7 February 1925, with – it seems – initial encouragement from the experts.

            Dart’s mentor, Elliot Smith, however, was not impressed with Dart’s published conclusion that this creature – supposedly alive some 2 to 2.8 million years ago – was an ancestor of Homo sapiens. Nor were other renowned anatomists and anthropologists of the time, including Sir Arthur Keith, Arthur Smith Woodward and Wynfrid Duckworth. Just a week after Dart’s initial announcement, the four responded in Nature, expressing their very strong doubts, indeed, referring to Dart’s claim as ‘preposterous’. They also regretted that, although casts were on display at the South African pavilion at Wembley during the British Empire Exhibition of 1924-1925, they could not be handled by ‘students of fossil man’ and had to be viewed through glass, and that only after queuing with the general public! (Not long afterwards, casts were available for purchase.) The publicity for the fossil display at Wembley, done in accordance with

Raymond Dart’s instructions for the display of A. africanus at the Empire Exhibition of 1924-1925.

Dart’s diagram of how he wanted the exhibit to be arranged, was immense, fuelled by the very public rivalry and disagreement among the experts. Their repudiation of Dart’s claim bears out the adage that ‘the biggest impediment to new thinking is old thinking …’. It was an extravagant claim from a little-known anatomist at a new and obscure university.

            In the 1920s it was accepted by the experts that humans had evolved in Asia. There were also other factors that discredited Dart’s idea. Some scientists were reluctant to accept that early hominids had brains as small as that of the Taung child; they were also cautious about relying on the single specimen, particularly that of a juvenile. Others disliked the name, being a mixture of Latin and Greek. Moreover, Dart himself was young and inexperienced and was attached to a minor university, he therefore lacked scholarly gravitas and reputation. But, importantly, a large-brained fossil skull had been unearthed at Piltdown quarry in Sussex in 1913, by two highly reputable palaeontologists, Charles Dawson and Sir Arthur Smith Woodward. Here, they said, was proof that man had evolved in the northern hemisphere. As we now know, Piltdown Man was exposed as a fraud, but only in 1953, almost forty years later. And as we also now know, some of those respectable, indeed renowned, scientists of that time were implicated in this deception. This hoax was an important one, for it stalled fresh thinking around international palaeoanthropology for more than a generation.

            Although Dart only published full details about the Taung fossil in 1959 in his autobiography – he never published an academic monograph on the subject – he was, of course, vindicated within his discipline in South Africa as more Australopithecus africanus fossils were discovered. A prime mover in this regard was Robert Broom of the Transvaal Museum, who found fossil material from this and many other species in the dolomitic caves at Sterkfontein and other similar sites not far from Johannesburg. Fossil-collecting also began in the 1920s in the lime-works of the Makopane valley (about 280km north-east of Johannesburg), and Dart published a note on this site in the South African Journal of Science just five months after the Taung announcement. Dart began formal investigations at Makopane after World War II with a research grant from the Bernard Price Foundation for Palaeontological Research. In 1948 and 1949, with hominid fossil specimens – mostly fragments – retrieved from that site, Dart erected another member of this genus, an even older Australopithecus prometheus (3.6 million years), which he

called a ‘proto-human’ and that he analysed in papers published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology in 1948 and 1949. He named this Australopithecus ‘prometheus’ after the god of fire, postulating that this creature had tamed and used fire. Decades later, another, complete, individual of this species discovered at Sterkfontein, and given the nickname ‘Little Foot’, has been unearthed and studied by Wits Professor Ron Clarke. Dart’s osteodontokeratic culture hypothesis, originating from the work at Makopane, about early humans as cannibalistic predators was questionable. He referred to them in far-from-cold scientific vocabulary, as ‘the blood-bespattered, slaughter-gutted archives of human history’, and this idea morphed into Robert Ardrey’s books such as African Genesis. Ideas around humans as ‘killer apes’ gained traction but was not based on firm factual evidence.

            Dart’s forays into other disciplines and his adherence to maverick theories is perhaps less well known, as most of colleagues were full of praise for his prescience and possibly reluctant to criticise a scientific hero. Such was his reputation that the Royal Society of South Africa did not hesitate, it seems, to publish a large range of articles by Dart that were not related to palaeoanthropology and that are, from our vantage point in time, scientifically extremely suspect. These included his views on population fluctuations in Egypt over 7 000 years, a Stone Age manganese mine what was then Northern Rhodesia, and numerous others. His publication output was prodigious on many topics, but his major published output was in archaeology, on which he wrote nearly 100 papers, beginning with ‘Boskop man’ in 1923 and encompassing many subjects, including precolonial mining. Over the years Dart’s ideas became increasingly improbable, incorporating waves of Mongoloid, Chinese, and other foreign and exotic influences on the people of Africa. His extreme views were his passion, and his improbable diffusionist notions may well have had their origins in his early years with Elliott Smith. Nor were Dart’s racist ideas, well unpacked by Saul Dubow in Scientific Racism in Modern South Africa, acceptable. They were expressed in a publication, apparently accepted reluctantly by the South African Archaeological Society in 1951, entitled African Serological Patterns and Human Migrations. While he was daring on the inspired conclusion of the Taung child, he himself found it hard to believe that Africans were responsible for the archaeological sites that abounded in South Africa and he argued for Egyptian, Indian, and other collaborators.

             In later life, from 1966 until 1986 (he retired from Wits in 1958), Dart spent six months of every year in Philadelphia, USA, at the Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential, his interest in brain-injured children coming from his concern about his son’s motor damage at birth and how it might be ameliorated by innovative techniques such as pattern therapy.

            Dart was a fascinating, multi-sided, even enigmatic person. Clearly fiercely passionate about his work – to the extent of suffering a nervous breakdown in 1943 – he blazed a trail that has been followed with great success, ensuring South Africa a significant place in the history of palaeoanthropology. His enormous contribution to the establishment and growth of palaeoanthropology in South Africa is incontrovertible. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa in 1930 and received honorary degrees from the University of Natal (1956) and Wits (1965). His career, however, as Derricourt reminds us, should also be understood as the consequence of the intersections between place, timing, and personality.
