Cereal grains have been the principal component of human diet for
thousands of years and have played a major role in shaping human
civilization. Around the world, rice, wheat, and maize, and to a
lesser extent, sorghum and millets, are important staples critical
to daily survival of billions of people. More than 50% of world
daily caloric intake is derived directly from cereal grain
consumption. Most of the grain used for human food is milled to
remove the bran (pericarp) and germ, primarily to meet sensory
expectations of consumers. The milling process strips the grains of
important nutrients beneficial to health, including dietary fiber,
phenolics, vitamins and minerals. Thus, even though ample evidence
exists on the health benefits of whole grain consumption,
challenges remain to developing food products that contain
significant quantities of whole grain components and meet consumer
expectations.
This book presents some of the latest research endeavors that aim
to improve our understanding of how the chemistry of various grain
components can be manipulated to improve contribution of cereals to
human health. Most of the topics are based on the Cereal Grains
Symposium, at the 2011 American Chemical Society held in Anaheim,
CA, March 27-31.

Investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre directs this documentary
examining how football hooliganism, once a very British disease,
has gone global. With football violence having been brought
successfully under control in Britain since its heyday in the 1970s
and 1980s, there has recently been a worrying rise in violence in
Europe, South America, and the United States. In graphic detail
this film charts the history of hooliganism both home and abroad,
examines the motivation behind those involved, and asks what does
the future hold for the hooligan?
Double bill of adventure films. 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning
Thief' (2010), based on the children's books by Rick Riordan,
follows the adventures of 12-year-old New Yorker Percy Jackson
(Logan Lerman). When Percy discovers that he is the descendant of a
Greek god, he sets out on a cross-country adventure to settle an
ongoing feud between the 'Big Three', Zeus (Sean Bean), Hades
(Steve Coogan) and Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), and unravel a mystery
more powerful than the gods themselves. 'Eragon' (2006), based on
the best-selling novel by Christopher Paolini, follows the fortunes
of an orphaned farm boy, Eragon (Edward Speleers), whose life is
changed forever when a mystic stone chooses him for its keeper.
When the stone turns out to be an egg from which a baby dragon is
hatched, Eragon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as
old as the Empire itself. With only an ancient sword and the advice
of an old storyteller (Jeremy Irons) for guidance, Eragon and the
fledgling dragon (voiced by Rachel Weisz) must navigate the
dangerous terrain of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no
bounds.
Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when
long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher)
decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move
into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things
strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both
of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those
pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky,
ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw
her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on
'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings.
Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison
Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive
Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and
with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his
contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome
the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and
transform the show into something to be proud of?
Following the success of his first novel Dahab Chris Bean in this
second book allows his basic geological training to give
credibility to a story of the catastrophic events that overwhelm
the planet in 2050. His passion and thrill for adventure combined
with a much-travelled life while pursuing his profession as a
fisherman and fisheries consultant has given him an insight into
situations both harsh and beautiful. In this novel he makes no
concessions while depicting the scene of utter desperation in which
the main characters find themselves. Using love and hope together
as he has done in his own life he shows how to turn around a
situation of almost nothing into a viable future. Married and with
grown up children and young grandchildren he lives on the Lizard
Peninsular in Cornwall. Apart from his fishing activities he is an
avid painter and runner in the local Hash House Harriers.
