Alice used to go the festival every fall with her sister, until her sister got in that accident. Alice shook her head and pushed the thoughts from her mind.
Milly looked at the old photograph and her eyes watered up. Don't think about it. Don't think about it, Milly thought. She filed away the memories.
It was a border collie, just like . . . Adam pushed the thoughts away.
Now before anyone freaks out or protests--I've written this sentence before. And there are times where this sentence is fine. But if you write it intentionally in the opening of your story, you should know it's very cliche and whoever is going through the submission pile has seen it so many times that's it's more annoying than mysterious. Besides, there are better alternatives that accomplish the effect these writers are looking for, and I'll share some of them, after I talk about the problems.
Cliche. I already mentioned this, but the thing is, this might sound like a fine sentence, but thousands of other writers thought it was a fine sentence too and so there are loads of stories that have this same sentence. It doesn't spark curiosity or intrigue in the editors who have read it thousands of times. Some of you might be saying, "Yeah, but there are always going to be sentences like that." And this is where I say that there are actually other problems with doing this.
White Flag. This sentence is a sure warning signal to higher-ups that this writer doesn't know how to handle backstory on a professional level yet. I know that sounds really weird, because the sentence is punctuated correctly and seems innocent, but it's not the sentence itself, it's the fact that experience shows again and again that writers who are still learning how to weave backstory in well, use this sentence.
One of the problems with this sentence is that you are drawing attention to the fact that you are withholding important, possibly traumatic, information about your protagonist, and alerting to the reader that "Hey, this is going to be an important backstory that's kind of mysterious and I'm going to tell you about it later."
It feels a lot less mysterious when the writer is advertising the mystery that way. We've all seen this backstory structure in narratives before. We don't want to be told that it's the structure you are using, we want to notice that and figure it out for ourselves.
Some argue that this sentence is a problem solely because you are hiding important information about the protagonist from your reader, and that if the protagonist is the viewpoint character that the reader should be privy to that important knowledge by default. I actually disagree that it is always bad to withhold important information from the reader, because I believe you can do it, but it's difficult and takes a lot of talent to do well enough to get away with it. I would argue that the fact the writer is withholding information isn't so much the problem as the way they are withholding that information.
Have you ever talked to someone who is clearly trying to get you to ask a specific question about them? They might say things (out of the blue) like, "Uugh, I can't believe that happened!" wait a few seconds, then sigh heavily, and follow-up with "Now I'll never get to do X," sigh again. And you know they just want you to ask them what's wrong.
This sentence is sort of like that. The writer is broadcasting the fact they are withholding information and signaling to the audience that it will be a mystery that will come out later. They want the reader to ask, "Wow, what was that memory about"? It takes some of the power out of that backstory structure. In this way, it's kind of similar to writing sentimentally, like a talked about in this post.
I touched on this next one earlier, but this sentence is questionable because it seems to contradict the whole "I'm writing in this character's viewpoint" thing. If the character is reminded of an unfavorable memory, shouldn't we at least get some kind of flash of said memory? Or some indication as to what it is? I think that's debatable, but 9 times out of 10, the answer is yes.
Now, all this doesn't mean you have to completely chuck the whole "mysterious backstory" thing, which is the advice you might get from some, usually because most people aren't conscious of when this is done well. It's that subtle.
And that's one of the keys to fixing this. Be more subtle. Don't make the fact that your character is pushing away his bad memories as obvious--don't tell me that he's doing it. Get deep in his head and show me instead. Give me a well "told" suggestion of the memory, then show me the character consciously thinking of something else (show me what that something is). Instead of drawing attention to the fact you aren't telling me about the character's backstory, put enough in and then draw my attention away from the fact you aren't telling me. As a reader, I'll pick up on the fact the character doesn't want to remember something in his past on my own--which is exactly what needs to happen if I'm meant to feel like it's a mystery.
J.K. Rowling uses this tactic in other forms of mystery in the Harry Potter series. For example, in Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione take Scabbers to the pet store, Rowling suggests that there is something odd about Ron's rat, but almost immediately after, she draws the reader's attention away from the fact. She doesn't stay there and point at it with her sentence structure and style.
Another similar but different option is to present any suggestion of the suppressed memory as information you are giving, not information you are withholding. Don't point at the fact you aren't telling the reader everything to make sure the reader gets there is something more. Drop the hint as information. You can do it in a way that makes the reader curious on her own and makes her wonder about it more. Or you can do it in a way that the reader won't think twice about until later. You can expand on this information that you as the writer so "generously" gave as you go, until the picture and situation becomes clearer and clearer to the reader. You can use foreshadowing, instead of playing monkey-in-the-middle with your reader.
You can drop information in passing. After all, it seems to me that a suppressed memory lives in the subconscious part of your protagonist's mind, so let it surface, but be subtle about it.
And hey, if you've already done a good job at cluing me into this suppressed memory and the fact the character doesn't want to relive it then you can write that sentence, further into the story, and it won't be annoying, because I'll know the information behind it, and I've already witnessed and decided for myself the character doesn't want to remember.
I know to some this post sounds petty, but really, when you've read that sentence as much as I have, you've got to do a blog post explaining why it's annoying and how it can be handled better. And really, some of the stuff I touched on goes beyond that sentence and into how to write mystery itself. Thanks for listening.
Great Article. Thanks for posting. Made me look at my opening paragraphs.

Il fanale di Heugh Hill (in inglese: Heugh Hill lighthouse) è un fanale eretto da Trinity House nel 1995 all'ingresso del porto di Lindisfarne, un'isola del Northumberland (Inghilterra).
Esso costituisce un ulteriore riferimento oltre a quello fornito dai dromi e dal fanale detti "Old Law" e situati sulla punta di Guile Point, di fronte all'ingresso del porto.

Il 1º novembre 1995 l'incarico per gli ausili alla navigazione per le navi in ingresso ed uscita dal porto di Lindisfarne, fino ad allora gestiti a livello locale, fu affidata a Trinity House che provvide a sostituire il fanale esistente sull'obelisco di East Old Law a Guile Point (noto anche come "Guile Point East") e ad installarne uno nuovo, il fanale di Heugh Hill, in prossimità del porto.

Si tratta di una torre metallica reticolare, alta 8 metri, che sostiene il segnale luminoso ad una quota ("elevazione") di 24 metri sul livello medio del mare. Il fanale emette una luce bianca, rossa o verde a seconda della direzione da cui si osserva, visibile fino ad una distanza di 5 miglia nautiche, la caratteristica è intermittente, con un'eclisse ogni 6 secondi.
Sulla torre è montato un triangolo metallico rosso, che ha la funzione di segnalamento diurno.

Inter Coach Luciano Spalletti After Europa League Exit: "I Accept All The Blame"
Inter say goodbye to the Europa League after a goal from Luka Jovic which took Eintracht Frankfurt to the quarter final of the tournament.
Nerazzurri coach
Was the wrong approach due to a personality problem?
"The start of the game is all my fault, because I didn't explain myself well. The result from the first leg was fair, my intentions weren't to or break it. We should have kept tonight's game on an equal level as in the first game. They are a team that if you invite them to pressure you, they will and at the same time leave a lot spaces. But we weren't good in practicing this, we immediately lost both order and balance. We had to make a lot of runs due to all the balls we lost, the team was too long and they did exactly the type of game that they had to. We, on the other hand started off badly, getting nervous and trying to turn the game around individually."
Yesterday you said that you had everything you needed in order to win. Would things have been different with other players?
"With this type of beginning, I think it would have been difficult anyway thanks to the complications we created for ourselves. In the second half the team put their heart and soul into the game, but it also lost its lucidity. We gave all that we had but we didn't reason enough, on this level you have to know how to do more things."
If someone would have said to you that you would be in this situation, being out of three competitions and Roma close to the 4th spot, would you have signed off on that?
"What does "signed off" mean? You start on your path with confidence, then you see where you have to make stops. The route you take is the one that tells you which is the next road. We have gone out of competitions, but I didn't expect that tonight, while everything else is things that can happen. Tonight, I thought that the team was going to be more mature, I'm surprised by the development. Then if I look at the big picture I don't see anything strange that has happened to us."
You seem calm, but for a coach like you, aren't you boiling inside?
"I don't know what to expect or believe from now on. According to me, we are where we're supposed to be considering that there are a bunch of teams fighting for those Champions League spots. I see some unequal treatment and we need to do some evaluations, but this is not to defend myself. I take all the blame and put myself in front of others."
Is there a physical problem?
"I said that we missed passes that we just cannot miss. Against teams like this you pay the consequences for those kind of mistakes. We immediately messed up, we suffered too much from the tension of the game, everything became difficult with a long and wide team. I expected more maturity."
By Olof Svensson

EYE Apprenticeship: what will the changes be?
Changes to the requirements for entry to Early Years apprenticeships come into effect on 1 August 2015. Find out more about the changes below.
The new Level 3 Diploma in Children's Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) qualification was launched in September 2014.
This qualification was a direct replacement for the Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Diploma for the Children's Workforce (QCF) pathway 1 (Early Learning and Childcare) which has now expired.
Under the current guidance, learners must have achieved English and Maths GCSEs at grade A*-C on completion of the Early Years Educator qualification. This is a transitional arrangement and from 1 August 2015 English and Maths GCSEs at grade C or above will be required on entry for apprenticeships for the Early Years sector.
There is only a short period of time now to offer the GCSE alongside the Advanced Apprenticeship for the Early Years Educator before the new rules come into effect on 1 August 2015.

Q: Eclipse CLP: maximum number of constraints/variables In the Eclipse CLP, how many constraints or variables can I define?
I am currently remodeling my scheduling problem - I need to replace a single alldifferent constraint with many atmost constraints. But since I've introduced this change, my ecl script is not working. By "not working" I mean the Eclipse CLP - eclipse.exe or the TkEclipse GUI just shuts down. Without any error message,comment or saying goodbye. Just nothing.
If I try to comment-out some constraints, the script at least gets compiled.
Has someone already bothered with this issue?

A: There is no specific limit on the number or variables or constraints.
But you were working with large, generated source files where clauses had thousands of subgoals.  Because ECLiPSe uses a recursive descent parser, such files can cause an OS stack overflow, in particular on Windows.  You could either increase the Windows stack limit, or you could break your generated code into smaller clauses, and call these in conjunction.
Generally, however, generating textual source code isn't such a great idea: it must be created, written, read, parsed, compiled, and is then executed just once.  Consider instead generating a pure data file that contains only things like arrays/lists of numbers, but no variables.  You can then have a generic ECLiPSe program that reads these data and uses them to create variables and constraints, usually in several loops.
For a very simple example, compare https://eclipseclp.org/examples/transport1.pl.txt (where all the data is explicit in the flat model) with
https://eclipseclp.org/examples/transport_arr.pl.txt where the model is generic and all data comes from the data/3 fact at the end (this would correspond to the generated data file).

Dino is a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and muralist.
He studied graphic design in Nantes.
In 1990 he discovered graffiti by skate culture. Dino is recognized in the graffiti scene by murals and exhibitions such as the Montana gallery Montpellier and in more places underground.
His work is influenced by the avant-garde movements such as Constructivism, Bauhaus, Dada and Cubism and the art of skateboarding and science fiction movies of the 80s.
For any project he developed his ideas in the sketchbook.
His style is recognizable by its black and white illustrations using a clear line rigorously hand-drawn colorized by flat areas of contrasting colors, combining abstraction and figuration with geometric shapes made of square, circle and triangle.
In 2016, he was invited to China by Julien Malland (Seth) to participate in Back to school china project to paint a mural in a school.


Hardly can there be a more trying career than one with long stints at sea. For as long as we have known alcohol to exist (2700 BC), mariners have consumed it in celebrating their success, mourning their losses, raising their hopes, and quelling their fears. Since time immemorable, liquor has been popular aboard ships. It has become the subject of long-standing traditions.
Now, the issue of drinking aboard Merchant vessels caught peoples' attention when shipping companies implemented a partial ban on drinking at sea (if you consider the humble beer as a liquor). Prior to the partial ban, sailors could consume alcohol while the vessel was at sea, provided they were not on duty in less than six hours. The ban prohibits drinking at sea with the exception of special occasions(though that too is not true everywhere).
This has met with some criticism and here in this online debate, we will discuss the effectiveness of having such policy.


At Amazing Smiles, we believe our community is everything. That was the inspiration behind our development of the Troop to Troop program, which support scouts, first responders, and members of our military. This program combines two things we love – educating young people and supporting the people who work hard for our country and communities.
Through Troop to Troop, Amazing Smiles partners with local girl scout troops to purchase and deliver cookies for active members of the military, veterans at the VA, and also for our local first responders. Since starting this program a couple years ago, Amazing Smiles has purchased HUNDREDS of boxes of cookies for these heroes!
The scouts don't just drop off the cookies – they join us in one of our offices for a private tour, demonstration, and have a chance to ask questions with our experienced doctors and staff. At the end, they receive a goodie bag of everything they'll need to develop healthy dental habits for life. The girls also receive fun patches they can add to their vest for visiting us! The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children start being evaluated by a certified orthodontist at the age of 7, so this is a perfect opportunity to introduce the girls to how fun it is at the office – not to mention it's always free to visit!
Having the Troop to Troop program for our local Girl Scouts is all about building up our youth, and instilling confidence in them. We are empowering these girls to help achieve their goals, while also serving a higher purpose. What makes this program a win-win is these cookies make their way overseas to our military troops who are so far away from the comforts of home, giving them a semblance of normalcy for a short time. Our team also brings them to local first responders as well as our retired vets at the VA hospital in St. Louis. We are proud to work with our local Girl Scouts year after year, and to help the proud men and women who have served and are currently serving our country.
Is your scouting troop interested in participating? Reach out to our Community Relations Coordinator at laurakelley@amazingsmiles.com for more information.

DOJ reviewing potentially classified docs at Biden center
Published 5:58 pm Monday, January 9, 2023
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is reviewing a batch of potentially classified documents found in the Washington office space of President Joe Biden's former institute, the White House said Monday.
Special counsel to the president Richard Sauber said "a small number of documents with classified markings" were discovered as Biden's personal attorneys were clearing out the offices of the Penn Biden Center, where the president kept an office after he left the vice presidency in 2017 until shortly before he launched his 2020 presidential campaign in 2019. The documents were found on Nov. 2, 2022, in a "locked closet" in the office, Sauber said.
Sauber said the attorneys immediately alerted the White House Counsel's office, who notified the National Archives and Records Administration — which took custody of the documents the next day.
"Since that discovery, the President's personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives," Sauber said.
A person who is familiar with the matter but not authorized to discuss it publicly said Attorney General Merrick Garland asked U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch to review the matter after the Archives referred the issue to the department. Lausch is one of the few U.S. attorneys to be held over from former President Donald Trump's administration.
Irrespective of the Justice Department review, the revelation that Biden potentially mishandled classified or presidential records could prove to be a political headache for the president, who called Trump's decision to keep hundreds of such records at his private club in Florida "irresponsible."
Trump weighed in Monday on his social media site, asking, "When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?"
The revelation comes as Republicans have taken control of the House of Representatives and are promising to launch widespread investigations of Biden's administration.
It also may complicate the Justice Department's consideration on whether to bring charges against Trump, who has launched a repeat bid for the White House in 2024 and has repeatedly claimed that the department's inquiry of his own conduct amounted to "corruption."
Rep. James Comer, the new GOP chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Monday that the revelation raised questions about the Justice Department's handling of the Trump probe.
"Is the White House going to be raided tonight? Are they going to raid the Bidens?" he asked reporters. "This is further concern that there's a two-tier justice system within the DOJ with how they treat Republicans versus Democrats, certainly how they treat the former president versus the current president."
The National Archives did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. A message seeking comment from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago wasn't immediately returned Monday.
CBS was first to report on the discovery of the potentially classified documents.
The Justice Department for months has been investigating the retention of roughly 300 documents that were marked as classified and were recovered from the Trump's Florida estate. In that instance, prosecutors say, representatives of Trump resisted requests to give back the full stash of classified documents and failed to fully comply with a subpoena that sought their return.
FBI agents in August served a search warrant at the Mar-a-Lago property, removing 15 boxes of records.
That investigation is being led by special counsel Jack Smith. Prosecutors have interviewed an array of Trump associates and have been using a grand jury to hear evidence.
It is not clear when a decision when will be made on whether Trump, or anyone else, should be charged.
The think tank, formally known as the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania and continues to operate independently of the Biden administration.

Garth Brooks And Holly Dunn Have A Duet?!
Gunner Published: July 14, 2021
It's easily one of THE most embarrassing moments in my radio career. My excuse? I was a newbie. I started in radio in 1989 in Peoria, IL. And the station I was working for had Diamond Rio play our local arena--The Peoria Civic Center--in one of their convention halls we turned into a honky tonk. We set up a stage, a bar, a dance floor, and plenty of seating and tables and gave away a ton of tickets on the air for the show. This was only going to be the second concert I had been to with the station; the first being Alabama with Clint Black the year before in 1990 at the same venue.
Fast forward to 1991 and the very weekend that "Meet In The Middle" hits #1 on the charts--we have the band in town doing a show! So there we are--the doors are open, the crowd is filing in, getting their drinks and snacks, and finding their seats. Meanwhile--I am back stage with our entire staff hanging with the band and getting ready to go out on stage and introduce them. The conversation is flowing and we're all laughing and having a great time. Marty Roe--Diamond Rio's Lead Singer--looks at my Program Director Steve Cook and I and says: "Man--have y'all heard the new song--the hot new duet Brooks and Dunn?". I turn my head, look at Steve, look back at Marty and I say:
"What??? Garth Brooks and Holly Dunn have a duet?!?!?!?!"
And the entire room explodes into laughter--except for me. Steve, my boss, looks at me, pats me on the shoulder and says: "No my friend, it's a couple of guys they just put together in Nashville and they've got a great new song out. We'll be playing it starting next week". I felt about 2 feet tall lol and just chuckled and said "Oh". Then we walked out on stage and started the show! Gotta love those silly moments you'll never forget.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 12-cup muffin tin. Mix sugar and butter together until well combined. Add milk and egg and mix together. Sift flours, soda, and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper. Add sifted ingredients to mixer and mix briefly, until just combined. Mix remaining 1 Tablespoon of flour with the wild blueberries to coat the berries --add to the batter and fold in using a spatula. Place batter into tins using a scoop or spoon --only fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool on rack for 5 minutes then, using a little spatula or butter knife release muffins and serve!
put strainer over wax paper and add flours, soda, salt --now sift!
See how the brown sugar holds the shape of the cup? Use hand to break up before mixing with butter.
fold berries into batter with your spatula - - make sure your tin is buttered!
scoop the batter into tin --yahoo! ready for the oven!

The nature of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine
The traditional doctrine of state sovereignty defends a conceptual framework that objects to intervention into internal affairs of the independent states. And yet, the emerging international law doctrine of Responsibility to Protect imposes certain obligations on the states as to the way to manage their internal affairs and allows, under certain conditions, international intervention into the internal affairs of the states. Can the state sovereignty principle and the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine can be reconciled? And, which lessons can be learnt from the recent events in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq?

Mining law reform in Western Australia
Western Australia's mining regime dates back to 1978, and the state currently has no overarching mining policy. A number of challenges face the WA mineral sector:
resource allocation, including issues of priority,
Continuing evolution in the competing pressures on land, water and the environment;
Decommissioning and rehabilitation;
Ongoing evolution in international standards affecting mining;
Infrastructure sharing; and
Resource taxation and fiscal measures, among many other things.
Meanwhile, South Australia has recently undertaken a 'Leading Practice Mining Acts Review' process and several federal initiatives are afoot including implementation of the Resources 2030 Taskforce and a proposal for an international mining hub. Against this backdrop, there is scope to conduct impactful research into how the Western Australian mining regime may evolve to address these and other challenges. Research is particularly needed to develop an evidence base identifying the most pressing needs for updating WA's policy and legal settings, and how they may be addressed.

The untold story of civil procedure
What is the nature of Civil Procedure? Over the years, legal systems have developed comprehensive mechanisms of procedural rules: jurisdiction, admissibility of evidence, witnesses, functions of the judge, burden of proof, pleading, discovery, mode of argumentation and so on. Considered as a highly "technical" part of the legal practice, civil procedure has not received much attention in academic literature. Through a comparative analysis of the key elements of the civil procedure, this project aims to offer some insights on one of the key elements of the legal practice.
Specific eligibility requirements: Civil Procedure, Philosophy, Comparative Analysis.
Moral rights: the first 20 years
In 2000, the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) was amended to accord to authors of copyright works, and directors, screenwriters and producers of films, three moral rights: a right of attribution, a right not to be falsely attributed, and a right of integrity. In 2007, moral rights were extended to performers. Much controversy surrounded the introduction of these rights, and stakeholders were deeply divided on the perceived need for the rights, and the threats they may pose. With the 20 year anniversary of these rights approaching in 2020, it is timely to review these contentions, and assess them against the practical reality of how moral rights have operated "on the ground". With little case law and scholarship on Australian moral rights, the project should empirically explore questions such as: how are moral rights understood by stakeholders? Why so few reported cases concerning moral rights? Are moral rights relevant? Should the Australian moral rights scheme change, and if so, in what way?
Coordinating supervisors: Jani McCutcheon.
Specific eligibility requirements: Ideally, the student will have studied intellectual property law, although this is not strictly required, given that moral rights are a discrete species of right and can be independently studied.
Who's really in control? Liability of/for autonomous vehicles and weapons systems
Liability systems are designed around responsibility of individual people. When you subtract the human factor and an accident is caused by a 'machine', where do you allocate the liability? Is it the manufacturer, the programmer, or the individual user? With regards to autonomous weapons systems (AWS), liability of commanders is also in question. The International Committee of the Red Cross is particularly concerned with how AWS can be regulated under international humanitarian law (IHL), while civil liability systems are struggling to establish fair and effective methods of allocating responsibility when autonomous vehicles are involved. This project will examine the legal framework and regulation of civil liability and criminal accountability for autonomous vehicles and autonomous weapons systems. This project is a cross-over between comparative torts, regulation, IHL and international criminal law; and will consider how these disciplines can positively interact and inform each other.
Coordinating supervisors: Melanie O'Brien and Marco Rizzi

Dynamic ride sharing straddles the taxi industry and the unregulated taxi service. It provides users with planned and on-demand ride sharing options facilitated by technology linking the industry and users. Gaining market share all over the world initially with 'Generation Y', the dynamic ridesharing industry offers a more inviting service for its customers otherwise unavailable via the taxi industry. However, due to the fast rate at which the industry exploded onto the market, in many jurisdictions regulatory controls, and customer and driver protections still lag behind. While the impetus for imposing controls is driven more so by its competitors, the suffering taxi industry, its unions and regulators otherwise seeking to gain from the rideshare demise, though from a crime prevention point of view, the impetus to impose greater controls over ridesharing is clear. This research seeks to understand the criminological risks for ridesharing, compare the legal challenges that exist between select jurisdictions of rideshare operation and, supported by theory proposes a mechanism to respond, without stifling the market. This research is multidisciplinary in nature; beyond criminology and law it can potentially and necessarily unite with psychology, industrial relations and commerce.

The effectiveness of apology protecting legislation
What is the significance of an apology offered after an accident or other harmful event? Provisions in Civil Liability Acts and similar legislation in Australia offer evidential protection for an apology made by a person in these circumstances. There is considerable difference in the type of apologies and scope of protection provided. Some only protect no-admission apologies (eg WA) while others also protect fault-admission apologies (eg NSW). The Victorian Ombudsman recommended in 2017 that the protection in that state be extended to protect fault-admission apologies. Hong Kong has recently legislated for the first time in Asia and in the widest terms anywhere in the world, following on from developments in the US, Canada and Scotland. There is a need for a critical and comparative examination of the Australian legislation in light of a growing body of empirical research and legislative developments around the world.

Integrated water resources assessment and planning
The south-west of Western Australia is a microcosm of the challenges facing water resources management nationally and globally. In a drying climate, there is competition for water resources for environmental conservation, public water supply, tourism, irrigation, timber production and secondary industry. New technologies bring new, alternative sources of water to the fore, such as desalination, wastewater recycling, and use of drainage water and managed aquifer recharge. Large parts of the area were developed historically for irrigated agriculture and grazing. Mining ventures expand across public water supply catchments. The area also hosts important Ramsar listed wetlands with internationally recognised environmental values, including crucial habitat for migratory waterbirds. Changing land use values variously attract attention for food security, endangered species conservation and expanding urban development. The legal challenge is to devise a socio-politically robust legal framework for the integrated assessment and planning of the use of water resources with contemporary global relevance.

The untold story of private law
The various areas of private law present a backbone of legal profession: torts, contracts, property, unjust enrichment and remedies. Traditionally, the legal scholarship tends to separate the different areas of private law, claiming their distinctiveness on both doctrinal and conceptual levels. However, one can inquire: can the various areas of private law (i.e. torts, contracts, remedies and so on..) be situated together, within a set of unifying principles? Maybe some fundamental ideas about economic efficiency and party autonomy can unify private law and lead to a better understanding? And, how these ideas could affect the contemporary digital challenges of private law: online contracts & online defamation?

Heritage crime in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region
This project focuses on identifying ways to address heritage crime in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific region drawing upon criminological and legal theory and practice. Australia has heritage laws at the Federal and state levels covering movable and immovable, Indigenous, natural and cultural heritage sites, on land and underwater. The laws spread across a range of legal instruments and enforcement of them falls to various agencies and regulators. This legal landscape is convoluted and Australia's Indo-Pacific interactions add further complexity. Our regional neighbours tend to have under-developed law, policy and enforcement frameworks which reduces complexity but introduces gaps and other challenges. It will cover:
Theft of heritage objects on land and underwater, museums/galleries;
Trafficking and smuggling cultural objects;
Deliberate damage to heritage sites;
Accidental and incidental damage of heritage objects and sites, including through tourism; and
Illegal activities connected with heritage 'souvenirs' such as theft of heritage designs and fraud.
Although considerable attention has been paid to illicit trade in cultural property, less academic research has been focused on the full range of heritage crimes. This project is multi-disciplinary and relies on various criminological theories to explore the motivators and facilitators of heritage crime. Analysis of legal frameworks that provide offence and penalty provisions, and agencies and actors tasked with law enforcement is also an important component of the research.

Envisaging citizenship: Australian histories and global connections
Australia's vision of citizenship is contested, as artist Peter Drew's 2016 'Aussie' series suggests. These posters show portraits of people from different periods and of different cultural origins, all stamped boldly with the word 'Aussie'. Drew's poster of Monga Khan (right), a man who left India for a life selling goods between towns in Australia, reproduced a striking photograph used in Khan's 1916 application for exemption from the Immigration Restriction Act's compulsory dictation test, now held in the National Archives of Australia (NAA). By pasting his posters in public spaces across the country, Drew aimed to show 'middle Australia' 'who we really are', challenge visual stereotypes of the typical 'Aussie' and assert a multi-cultural public presence. Drew's posters and their lively reception demonstrate the power of images to open up historical processes of citizenship, and to contribute to debates in the present day. This project aims to investigate this power of historical images and their potential to define, contest and advance ideas of Australian citizenship and its attendant rights from white settlement to the present. The doctoral project would explore either 1. a comparative history of the diverse ways visual imagery represented and shaped understandings of Australian community across the convict system, the frontier and in the domestic sphere. Or 2. how the history of Australian citizenship and rights may be explored within cultural and public institutions such as museums, which serve increasingly as places to debate pressing social and cultural questions.

A diachronic comparison of the translations of novels into multiple languages
Novels by famous writers, like Emile Zola, Miguel de Cervantes, Cao Xueqin, or Alessandro Manzoni, have been translated multiple times over the centuries, first upon publication and thereafter until now. In turn, editorial success is often judged by the number of re-translations, and the number of languages they are available in. This project aims at building and analysing multilingual comparative corpora of re-translated novels in order to compare the diverse strategies adopted by the first and subsequent translators. This approach will help answer long-standing translation questions such as whether there are universals in translation and how cultural contexts relating to proprieties, literary mores, cultural relativism, political agenda or prevailing translation theories impact literary translations. The corpora to be studied are left open in terms of texts so as to attract qualified candidates irrespective of their languages.

"The Western Australian collections in Eastern Australian institutions": a PhD project as part of the ARC Project Collecting the West: How collections created Western Australia
Collecting the West: How collections created Western Australia is an Australian Research Council Linkage Project (2017-2020) at The University of Western Australia and Deakin University in partnership with Western Australian Museum, State Library of Western Australia, Art Gallery of Western Australia & British Museum: Through a unique collaboration between Western Australia's public collecting institutions, the British Museum and an interdisciplinary team of researchers, the Collecting the West project aims to understand how practices of collecting and display created knowledge about Western Australia that shaped its social relations, mediated its relationship to the environment and produced its identity in Australia and overseas from pre-colonial times to the present. This understanding will be used to produce a new vision for contemporary collecting and display practices and a new appreciation of Western Australia's place in the world that will meet the demands of the future. We have identified several key collections of Western Australian material in eastern states, which would provide an excellent doctoral project examining the their history and place in networks of collecting. The doctoral student would join a large collaborative team that includes five PhD students. Support would include use of the project database, and involvement in all project events such as symposia, conferences and training.

Quarries, campsites, and rock art: stone resource use in the Dampier Archipelago, north-western Australia
Archaeologists studying stone tools typically understand stone artefact production in terms of a limited resource, but when Aboriginal peoples were surrounded by suitable tool stone, did they manage the stone resource in new and different ways? The hard-rock blocky landscape of the Dampier Archipelago is not only famous for rock art but for a rich landscape of interconnected quarries, raw material reduction areas and occupation sites. In deep time, Aboriginal people likely moved resources form the now-drowned coastal plain: then – and in more recent times, Aboriginal people also imported chert and chalcedony from the broader Pilbara. How did stone resource change in response to changing sea levels, and changes in the accessibility of different materials? The evidence to be investigated consists of ten excavated and stone tool assemblages from across the archipelago during the Murujuga: Dynamics of the Dreaming ARC project. There is a large quarry on Enderby Island which also requires further fieldwork. The candidate would examine Dampier Archipelago stone raw material use over time in terms of the regional stone resource, the properties of hard rock in the archipelago, variations in sources identified through Portable X-Ray Fluoresence (pXRF), and changes in social structure and population.

Emotion words in Australian Indigenous languages. Semantics and typology
The linguistic encoding of emotion categories and its cross-linguistic variation has long been a matter of interest not only among linguists, but also among anthropologists and psychologists who study the nexus between language, culture and mind (Wierzbicka 1999; Ogarkova 2013). In this research project, the candidate will investigate and compare emotion lexica across a sample of Australian languages in order to identify where the languages on this continent converge, and to which extent they diverge from what we know of other languages around the world. For instance, Australian societies are known to put a strong emphasis on social emotions such as 'compassion' or 'shame' (Myers 1986; Ponsonnet 2014). Does this correlate with higher degrees of lexicalization for these emotions – for instance, a larger number of words, and/or dedicated nouns (Ponsonnet 2016)? Among other aspects the project will involve data collection from published sources (although some of the data has already been compiled), developing a database, carrying out cross-linguistic lexical comparison and identifying typological patterns.

Murujuga mollusc-harvesters: how shell-fishers changed their ways in the Dampier Archipelago, north-western Australia
When rising post-glacial sea-levels transformed the Dampier Ranges into the Dampier Archipelago, the opportunities for harvesting shellfish from mudflats and rock platforms transformed dramatically. Production of rock art, which covers the archipelago, changed at the same time. The evidence to be investigated consists of ten excavated and dated midden collections from across the archipelago during the Murujuga: Dynamics of the Dreaming ARC project, each presenting unique sampling points with potential for palaeo-ecological, isotopic and further dating analyses to support archaeological interpretation. Supervised by researchers in expert in rock art and zooarchaeology, the candidate will have opportunities to explore the roles of shellfish-harvesting, climate, and social and demographic change over a critical phase in the history of the world's largest rock art complex.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - Frances Frei joined Uber last June to help fix its corporate culture as its internal crises began piling up.
Now the leadership professor and author is leaving Uber after less than a year.
Frei is stepping down from her day-to-day role as SVP of leadership and strategy at Uber to pursue a new project and then return to work at Harvard Business School, the company confirmed Tuesday. She will continue to serve as an adviser to Uber.
"Frances has made an incredible contribution to Uber at a critical time in our company's history," a spokesperson for Uber said in a statement provided to CNN.
Frei developed a reputation as a thought leader on organizational change as a bestselling author and Harvard professor. She took a leave of absence from the university for the Uber role -- while commuting to Uber's San Francisco offices from Boston.
At the time Frei joined, Uber's brash culture was in the spotlight. The company was in the midst of internal investigations over sexual harassment allegations and faced outside probes for allegedly playing fast and loose with the law.
Frei developed and ran a leadership program, which was used to coach and educate thousands of Uber employees.
"Since day one, Frances has been a breath of fresh air—an academic among techies, a coach for leaders, an enthusiastic instructor, and a patient listener," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi wrote in a memo to staff provided to CNN. "Because of her, Uber now has a world-class corporate education program that thousands of you have attended, and an enthusiastic partnership with one of the best universities in the world."
While her tenure may have been short, it coincided with sweeping changes at Uber.
Travis Kalanick, the former Uber CEO who was initially her boss, resigned shortly after she was hired. Khosrowshahi, the former CEO of Expedia, took over and updated Uber's "win at all costs" culture with a focus on doing the right thing and celebrating diversity.
Uber also moved to strengthen its corporate governance as part of a massive new investment from SoftBank, the Japanese conglomerate.
"I've been inspired to see the Executive Education program (which happens to be the Harvard Business School "case method" approach) ripple through an organization at an unprecedented pace, scale, and absorption," Frei said in a memo to employees Tuesday.
-- CNN's Sara Ashley O'Brien contributed to this report.

In January 2018, a new railway connecting Addis Ababa to the coast of neighbouring Djibouti commenced operations. Built and financed by the Chinese, and largely following the route of an earlier French-built line, the Ethio-Djibouti railway figures at the heart of Ethiopia's development aspirations. With its grandiose, neo-Baroque train stations that rise up out of the dusty drylands of the country's nomadic east, the project embodies the high modernism of Ethiopian state-building today.
But beneath the rhetoric of "Ethiopian Renaissance" profound discontent bubbles. The country is still under a state-of-emergency, the second of its kind in as many years, following several years of widespread anti-government unrest. Thousands of young men and women leave their homes each year, braving perilous journeys across some of the world's most inhospitable terrain in search of a better life across the Red Sea. The Ethiopian government's heavy-handed implementation of its vision of a modern industrial society is breeding deep resentment.
Following the railway from Addis Ababa all the way to the coast in Djibouti, Tom Gardner and photographer Charlie Rosser report on the efforts of the Ethiopian government to use grand infrastructure projects like this to bring development to one of the world's poorest regions.
