Sanctuary Place : Sep Yama / Finding Country 5 Ways

Intelligent architecture allows a generosity of reading. It does not expect that we follow the architect’s instructions but that one is allowed to breath their own meaning into it and take away their own memory. Here, on the fringe of a postured architectural mass of national thinking, is an architectural gem. Its purpose, as I see it, is simple: to make a “camp”. In so doing it has accidentally revealed a passion for Country. Not necessarily Country in the way I might define it but Country in at least how I might recognise it; something alive, something powerful to be engaged.

Desarrollo de un programa de ciencia-literatura.

Un programa de ciencia-literatura podría proporcionar una atalaya diferente para el estudio de la ciencia. Esto podrá ayudar a los estudiantes a meditar seriamente las cosas y a aceptar lo menos posible de buena fe. Los profesores también deberían darse cuenta de que un programa de ambas ciencias podría mejorar la enseñanza de las ciencias. El asunto de la ciencia como de la literatura se ocupa, a cierto nivel, de postulados y hechos. El enfoque de ciencia-literatura ofrece materia de estudio en la cual los estudiantes pueden aplicar la lógica inductiva y deductiva a la naturaleza del orden y organización en sistemas vivos. Además, estas dos áreas pueden ayudar a que los estudiantes se vuelvan más críticos frente a arbitrariedades y sistemas de creencias preestablecidas. Pueden desarrollarse puntos de referencia científicos y literarios que supongan las condiciones necesarias para la supervivencia de sistemas vivos. Durante el Renacimiento, la filosofía natural o historia natural, de la cual surgió la ciencia, influía en la literatura. Durante el siglo XVII, la nueva ciencia puede haber desempeñado un rol importante en cambiar el estilo de la prosa en Inglaterra. Más tarde, la teoría de la evolución, de Darwin, la teoría de la relatividad, de Einstein, y otras motivaron a novelistas, poetas, dramaturgos y críticos literarios a cambiar su visión del hombre y del mundo. Entre los poetas y novelistas más recientes cuyas obras fueron influidas por acontecimientos, se cuentan: Walt Whitman, James Russel lowell, James Joyce, Virginia Wolf y Marcel Proust. Ciencia y literatura pueden referirse a los mismos fenómenos, pero desde distintos puntos de vista. Las distintas disciplinas se complementan entre sí. Ninguna disciplina aislada agota el tema.

Insights into the biodiversity and social benchmarking components of the Northern Australian fire management and carbon abatement programmes

Much of northern Australia’s tropical savannas are subject to annual intense and extensive late dry season wildfires, much of this occurring on Aboriginal land. Based on the successful West Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (WALFA) model, which has resulted in significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions, fire abatement programmes are planned for other significant regions of northern Australia. This study offers an introduction to the ideas behind a proposed environmental and social benchmarking project that aims to evaluate the potential benefits of expanding the fire abatement program in northern Australia, under the leadership of NAILSMA and its partners. Gaining a better understanding of the biodiversity, social and cultural outcomes of these fire abatement activities is an important component of demonstrating multiple benefits of these programmes. We emphasize the role of both biodiversity and cultural mapping to establish benchmarks and baseline states, with the involvement of Indigenous communities being a key element to optimize social and biodiversity benefits. Consultation with Traditional Owners and ranger groups to establish an agreed set of targets, indicators and sampling protocols and methodologies are critical component of this process. Examples of preliminary work to date are provided.

When William Wallace was a unionist

  James Russell Thompson was a successful businessman from Airdrie in Scotland. He arrived in the Victorian gold-mining town of Ballarat in 1853, having previously struck gold on the Ovens goldfields. Deafness caused by his earlier career in mining prevented Thompson from becoming involved in public life in Ballarat but, dying a wealthy man in May 1886, he was able to leave significant bequests to relatives and requested that his remaining estate be put towards the purchase of statues for Ballarat's sprawling botanic gardens. A fellow Scot, Thomas Stoddart, was executor of Thompson's estate, and was able to procure for the gardens numerous monuments and statues made of Italian Carrara marble. The most notable of Stoddart's procurements was the statue of the Scottish hero William Wallace. The Ballarat Star noted that "the statue of Wallace was decided on as a compliment to Mr Thompson's love for the country he came from-an effigy of the greatest character ... in Scottish history or legend". The statue of Wallace in Ballarat's botanic gardens was unveiled and bequeathed to the city on May 24, 1889. It is one of very few outside Scotland.
