Charlie Yankos started his local football career with former NSL club Heidelberg United in 1979 and became one of the greatest players to wear the gold and black colors. He was also an important part of APIA Leichhardt's 1987 NSL title victory.

International career
Charlie Yankos represented the Australian national team on 49 times including 13 world cup qualifiers, captaining the side on 30 occasions and scoring 7 international goals. He participated in the 1985 and 1989 World Cup qualifying campaigns, and also played in the Seoul Olympics in 1988 where Australia made the quarterfinals.

Yankos scored a long range goal from over 30 yards in the 1988 Australian Bicentennial Gold Cup against then-World Champions Argentina. In a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification away match against Israel, he scored an equaliser for Australia, again with a long range free kick.

Subrogation and unjust enrichment – hunting the snark
The Hunting of the Snark is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll subtitled An Agony in 8 Fits. In Fit 6, the Barrister dreams that the eponymous Snark serves as counsel for the defence, finds the verdict as the jury, and passes sentence as the judge. Perhaps it is fitting then to observe that, by way of update to yesterday's post about Bofinger v Kingsway Group Limited [2009] HCA 44 (13 October 2009), Legal Eagle on SkepticLawyer characterises the judgment as "yet another snark at unjust enrichment". True, but reaffirming a light approach to the "unifying legal concept" of unjust enrichment is not necessarily a bad thing, even if the tone is indeed unnecessarily snarky. She does concede that, "to give the High Court credit where credit is due, it gives reasoned arguments for rejecting the Banque Financière decision (see Banque Financière de la Cité v Parc (Battersea) Ltd [1999] 1 AC 221; [1998] UKHL 7 (26 February 1998)). It would sound quite reasonable if it weren't for the usual snark beforehand" (given my views in my earlier post, it's no surprise that I agree with her here). Her snark is that the Court does not provide similarly reasoned arguments for what she sees as negative knee-jerk responses to unjust enrichment reasoning. Among the questions she says the Court is ducking:
Are there benefits to having a unified concept of unjust enrichment? Are there detriments? Are all restitution scholars necessarily indulging in "top-down reasoning"? Is top-down reasoning necessarily a bad thing? Should the law evolve? I mean, they're the High Court — within reason, the law is what they say it is. Why have the English courts made the changes they have? How have these changes worked? Have they made private law more manageable or less? I don't mind so much what position the High Court takes on these questions as long as it actually thinks about it rather than just snarks. … I really wish the High Court would either (a) engage in reasoned criticism of unjust enrichment scholars or (b) desist from snarking.
I must say that I didn't read the unjust enrichment comments quite as negatively as Legal Eagle did. At para 86, the Court pointed out that the seminal case of David Securities Pty Ltd v Commonwealth Bank of Australia (1992) 175 CLR 353, 378-379; [1992] HCA 48 [45] (7 October 1992), confined the "unifying legal concept" of unjust enrichment to a descriptive but not prescriptive role, and therefore rejected the view that it was "a definitive legal principle according to its own terms". This is what they had already held in Pavey & Matthews Pty Ltd v Paul (1987) 162 CLR 221; [1987] HCA 5 (4 March 1987). The concept provides a means for comparing and contrasting various categories of liability, and assists in the determination by the ordinary processes of legal reasoning of the recognition of obligations in a new or developing category of case, but it is not a self-executing principle (such as applies in Canada after Pettkus v Becker [1980] 2 SCR 834; 1980 CanLII 22 (18 December 1980); see most recently Ermineskin Indian Band and Nation v Canada [2009] 1 SCR 222; 2009 SCC 9 (13 February 2009)). Of course, cases like Roxborough v Rothmans of Pall Mall Australia Ltd (2001) 208 CLR 516; [2001] HCA 68 (6 December 2001), Farah Constructions Pty Ltd v Say-Dee Pty Ltd (2007) 230 CLR 89; [2007] HCA 22 (24 May 2007) and Lumbers v W Cook Builders Pty Ltd (In liq) (2008) 232 CLR 635; [2008] HCA 27 (18 June 2008) resisted transmuting the unifying but descriptive legal concept into a prescriptive and self-executing principle – and, yes, they did so snarkily – but they did not undercut the essential analytical foundations of Australia's law of restitution for unjust enrichment. Indeed, the position greatly resembles the approach taken in Ireland and the UK (in fact, it was the approach to restitution which Lord Hoffmann in Banque Financière applied to subrogation!)
Bofinger v Kingsway simply reaffirms this general Australian approach. I agree that the tone of the decision is snarky, and it does take a few gratuitous swipes at some of Peter Birks's later arguments. But the House of Lords in Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Group Plc v Inland Revenue & Anor [2007] 1 AC 558], [2006] UKHL 49 (25 October 2006) was not particularly receptive to them either. What all this demonstrates, I think, is that there are intellectually respectable arguments in favour of the position articulated by the High Court. Nevertheless, I take Legal Eagle's point that the Court should articulate them a little more clearly, and with less snarkiness.
Finally, on another issue, I also agree with her that the Court (distracted, I think, by its jurisprudence relating to the remedial constructive trust) insufficiently differentiated between a proprietary constructive trust and a personal liability to account as a constructive trustee. Millett LJ described the difference in Paragon Finance Plc v D B Thakerar & Co (A Firm) [1998] EWCA Civ 1249 (21 July 1998):
Regrettably, however, the expressions "constructive trust" and "constructive trustee" have been used by equity lawyers to describe two entirely different situations. The first covers those cases … where the defendant, though not expressly appointed as trustee, has assumed the duties of a trustee by a lawful transaction which was independent of and preceded the breach of trust and is not impeached by the plaintiff … In the first class of case, however, the constructive trustee really is a trustee. … In these cases the plaintiff does not impugn the transaction by which the defendant obtained control of the property. He alleges that the circumstances in which the defendant obtained control make it unconscionable for him thereafter to assert a beneficial interest in the property.
The second class of case is different. It arises when the defendant is implicated in a fraud. Equity has always given relief against fraud by making any person sufficiently implicated in the fraud accountable in equity. In such a case he is traditionally though I think unfortunately described as a constructive trustee and said to be "liable to account as constructive trustee." Such a person is not in fact a trustee at all, even though he may be liable to account as if he were. He never assumes the position of a trustee, and if he receives the trust property at all it is adversely to the plaintiff by an unlawful transaction which is impugned by the plaintiff. In such a case the expressions "constructive trust" and "constructive trustee" are misleading, for there is no trust and usually no possibility of a proprietary remedy; they are "nothing more than a formula for equitable relief" …

4 Reply to "Subrogation and unjust enrichment – hunting the snark"
Legal Eagle says:
I'm not a restitution zealot – I do think that it has been held up as the solution to some private law problems when it isn't. Thus I take the High Court's point that it doesn't actually solve anything in a subrogation context. Why bother if it doesn't make the solution easier?
On the other hand, the constructive trust analysis is deeply unsatisfactory. I'm surprised that they didn't use that passage by Millett LJ which you excerpt above – that would be the perfect explanation.
What annoys me about the Australian High Court is that according to them, there is no action in unjust enrichment – you have to institute an action for money had and received or a quantum meruit or whatever. I fail to see why we should be bound by these ancient, idiosyncratic forms of action.
I think much of the Australian judicial negativity about unjust enrichment comes from badly pleaded cases. There was a time when litigants would just stick, "The defendant's conduct was unconscionable" at the end of a pleading without particulars as a kind of sloppy "catch-all". Now "the defendant has been unjustly enriched" has replaced this as a catch-all. But this does not mean we should throw out unjust enrichment altogether. It means we should educate lawyers on how to plead it.
And yes, I did snark back at the High Court – their tone got my goat! :-P

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's swimming and diving team improved to 3-0 on the season, knocking off its third Ivy League opponent of the season Friday, beating Columbia 190-102 at Blodgett Pool.
Similar to its triumph at Dartmouth last week, the Crimson started out the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay. The foursome of Koya Osada, Shane McNamara, Max Yakubovich and Dean Farris touched in 1:29.14 to take first place. Harvard's other two relay teams in the event took second and third.
The 1,000 free was up next with the Crimson taking the top three spots in that event as well. Brennan Novak led the field in 9:11.96, with Logan Houck and Kent Haeffner following him to the wall. A pair of freshman led the charge for Harvard in the 200 free as Farris claimed top honors with his time of 1:36.03, while Zach Snyder took third.
Another Harvard trifecta followed in the 100 back, as Osada, Daniel Tran and Jack Manchester finished 1-2-3. Osada touched in the fast time of 49.11. The 100 breast saw McNamara earn first-place accolades with a time of 54.73. Daniel Chang finished second in the event.
The senior duo of Christian Carbone and Yakubovich earned the top-two finishes in the 200 butterfly, touching the wall in 1:49.27 and 1:49.65, respectively. Steven Tan and Sebastian Lutz kept the winning coming in the speedy 50 free. Tan posted a time off 20:43 to claim first, while Lutz took second in 20.61.
Farris continued the tremendous start to his rookie year with another victory in the 100 free, registering a time of 43.68. Junior Ed Kim placed second. Tran and Manchester paced the field in the 200 back with Tran winning with a 1:46.36 mark. Chang garnered a win in the 200 breast, outracing the field with a 2:00.18 time. McNamara was on his heels in second with a 2:00.52. Snyder also found himself atop the leaderboard in the 500 free, edging a fellow freshman from Columbia with his time of 4:26.73. Tan rounded out the Crimson victories in the pool with a 48.25 in the 100 butterfly.
Jayden Pantel won both the one- and three-meter boards for Columbia, with Harvard's Bobby Ross earning second in both.

Cambridge, Mass. – The Columbia men's swimming & diving team took on a veteran Harvard squad on Friday, Nov. 18 at Blodgett Pool in the Crimson's home opener. Harvard was dominant in their sole Ivy League dual meet at home downing the Lions 190-102, behind victories in 14 of 16 events.
The Lions pair of first-place crowns on the day came on the boards as Jayden Pantel continues his dominance this season. Pantel swept both the three-meter and one-meter dives for the fourth-straight meet this year. In the three-meter dive, the junior surpassed the 400-point mark for the second-consecutive contest with a winning score of 404.18. The victory also marked his 25th-straight win in the three-meter dive to remain unbeaten in his career in dual-meet action, including back-to-back 11-0 seasons in his rookie and sophomore campaigns.
A score of 343.88 delivered Pantel the crown in the one-meter dive as he continues to spread his dominance to that event. First-year Shinya Kondo also placed third in the three-meter event for the Lions for the second-straight meet with a score of 330.00, just .30 points away from a second-place finish.
In the pool, the Lions saw some impressive performances by first-year Nian-Guo Liu. Liu grabbed a pair of runner-up finishes with season-best times of 4:28.17 in the 500 freestyle and 1:37.52 in the 200 freestyle. Terry Li also collected points for the Lions with third-place finishes in both the 100 butterfly (48.98) and 200 butterfly (1:50.01).
The Lions (2-2, 1-2 Ivy) will be back in action on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. as they hosts Bucknell in their home opener in Uris Pool.

Everybody wants smooth, clear radiant skin, but learning which healthy skin care tips are myths may be the best way to attain that goal. While many of these suggestions state they improve the health of the skin, most of them are actually bad for it. By way of example, washing your face with soap is usually touted as a way to battle acne. However, soap can remove essential oils from your skin, leading to dryness and rashes. Microdermabrasion should certainly smooth your epidermis and unclog pores, but leading dermatologists assert that it is a useless procedure and quote an investigation that found that it could cause acne. Many individuals use tanning booths that don't include UVB rays, believing they are safe. However, the UVA rays which these are exposing themselves could also cause premature aging and skin cancer. Use caution when working with any natural skin care product or technique. Speak with your doctor or even a dermatologist to find out which methods work well.
So that you can have clearer, cleaner skin, you must exfoliate once every other day. This washes away the best layer of dead skin, so that it is look younger, tighter, and healthier. Tend not to exfoliate an excessive amount of, though, because the top layer, or « horny layer » of skin helps keep your epidermis clean and healthy too. In the event you constantly eliminate the top layer of skin, it would become prone for blemishes, acne, and blackhead.
To maintain your skin looking great, you must discover ways to wash properly. You don't desire to use a bad facial wash or scrub hard, because that could just irritate your skin layer. Find that appropiate product to your skin type, rub within a circular manner and rinse well with warm water.

Stormwater impact on urban waterways in a cold climate: variations in sediment metal concentrations due to untreated snowmelt discharge2012In: Journal of Soils and Sediments, ISSN 1439-0108, E-ISSN 1614-7480, Vol. 12, no 5, p. 758-773Article in journal (Refereed)
Purpose: Stormwater discharges include contaminated sediments that accumulate in the receiving water body. It is thus important to investigate sediment and pollutant processes and pathways from the catchment to, and within, the receiving water. These processes may be influenced by seasonal changes. The objective of this study was to investigate the stormwater impact on receiving waters in the Luleå area, Northern Sweden; seasonal changes in contamination loads in the receiving waters due to snowmelt; and factors influencing the pollutant pathways in the receiving waters. Materials and methods: In front of three storm sewer outlets in Luleå, samples of bottom sediment (surface layer 0-2 cm) were collected from the connecting ditches and the downstream water body in autumn and spring (before and after the snow season 2009/2010). The characteristics of the receiving waters differed in geomorphology and vegetation. The sediment was analyzed for loss-on-ignition (LOI), grain size, and bulk concentrations of SiO 2, Al 2O 3, CaO, Fe 2O 3, MnO, Na 2O, P 2O 5, TiO 2, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, S, V, and Zn. The sediment contamination was compared to concentrations at a reference point in Luleå where the bottom sediment was not affected by stormwater discharges and with Swedish environmental quality guidelines. Pearson's correlation and a principal component analysis were used to further evaluate the results. Results and discussion: Relative to the reference point, elevated trace metal concentrations were detected in sediments at all three sampling stations. At two of the stations, seasonal variations in ditch sediment grain size, LOI, and contaminant concentrations were observed, originating from stormwater sediment. Snowmelt runoff caused an increased proportion of fine-grained sediment fractions (<0.063 mm) in spring, mainly due to changes in runoff intensity and high sediment loads in the snowmelt runoff. The retention of metals appeared to be due to low turbulence in the water and the presence of organic material. Conclusions: Stormwater discharge affected the contaminant concentrations in the bottom sediments. The observed seasonal variation of contaminants indicated that relatively high amounts of contaminants are discharged during snowmelt and then reallocated within the receiving water body, either directly or after some temporal retention, depending on the characteristics of the receiving water. A calm water column and the presence of organic material in the receiving water body were crucial for the retention of metals

Landscape structure and the long-term decline of cyclic grey-sided voles in Fennoscandia2010In: Landscape Ecology, ISSN 0921-2973, E-ISSN 1572-9761, Vol. 25, no 4, p. 551-560Article in journal (Refereed)
Changes in forest landscape structure have been suggested as a likely contributing factor behind the long-term decline in the numbers of cyclic grey-sided voles (Clethrionomys rufocanus) in northern Fennoscandian lowland regions in contrast to mountain regions due to the absence of forest management in the mountains. This study, for the first time, formally explored landscape structure in 29 lowland (LF) and 14 mountain forest (MF) landscapes (each 2.5 × 2.5 km) in northern Sweden, and related the results to the cumulated spring trapping index of the grey-sided vole in 2002-2006. The grey-sided vole showed striking contrasts in dynamics close in space and time. The MF landscapes were characterized by larger patches and less fragmentation of preferred forest types. The grey-sided vole was trapped in all of 14 analyzed MF landscapes but only in three out of 29 of the LF landscapes. MF and LF landscapes with grey-sided vole occurrence were characterized by similar focal forest patch size (mean 357 ha, minimum 82 ha and mean 360 ha, minimum 79 ha, respectively). In contrast, these MF compared to the LF landscapes were characterized by larger patches of preferred forest types and less fragmented preferred forest types and by a lower proportion of clear-cut areas. The present results suggest that landscape structure is important for the abundance of grey-sided voles in both regions. However, in the mountains the change from more or less seasonal dynamics to high-amplitude cycles between the mid 1990s and 2000s cannot be explained by changes in landscape structure.

Sediment and water interactions with macrophyte element concentrations and community structure2009Conference paper (Other academic)
Littoral interactions among sediment, water and macrophytes are poorly understood. In particular there is a gap in knowledge concerning the importance of macrophytes as sinks and sources of trace elements. Such knowledge is however central for, amongst others, explaining potential mechanisms behind the community structure of macrophytes and for the development of macrophyte-based indicator values. We studied the interactions between the three matrices (sediment, water and macrophytes) at 19 sampling sites in Storträsket, a 1.7 km2 boreal lake at the land uplift coast of Northern Sweden in summer 2008. The catchment of Storträsket was dominated by coniferous forest of mainly the dwarf-shrub type and open wet mires. The upper sediment layers (0-6 cm) were dominated by fine detritus. Fine detritus dominated also the lower layers (>6 cm but ≤10 cm) at all but four of the studied localities where fine sediments (particle diameter <0.2 mm) dominated. Sediment and water element concentrations were related to element concentrations in the dominating macrophyte species, viz. Nuphar lutea (roots and leaves), Potamogeton natans (leaves) and Sparganium angustifolium (leaves) and to chlorophyll concentrations using uni- and multivariate statistics. We studied 27 major and trace elements. Estimations of abundance and biomass of N. lutea in eight bays was based on the evaluation of high resolution (2 cm) aerial photographs. The total biomass of N. lutea and standardized biomass (biomass per unit of area) differed significantly among bays. Also concentrations in all matrices as well as in chlorophyll showed significant spatial variation in the lake. N. lutea showed for several elements significant partitioning of elements between roots and leaves (e.g. Ca, K, Na, Fe, Pb, Zn). Correlations between element concentrations in sediment/water and in macrophytes were in general weak but significant for amongst others Si in water and leaves of P. natans and Co, Cu and Fe in water and roots of N. lutea. Interpreting correlations of elements between the sediment and macrophytes might in our study be impeded by potential incorporation of lithogenic material in extracellular macrophyte tissue. Our study identified especially N. lutea as a major sink (during vegetation period) and source (during autumn and winter) of several major and trace elements. Interactions between the matrices, chlorophyll concentrations and macrophyte community structure are further discussed as well as the implications of our results for the development of macrophyte-based indicator values.
Urban impact on water bodies in the Luleå area, northern Sweden2008Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
Anthropogenic activities change the quality of urban waters and sediments. The aim of this study was to describe and quantify pollution from different point sources in Luleå, northern Sweden. In the first article, sediment samples and porewater of an enclosed bay (Skutviken) near the centre of Luleå affected by stormwater discharge were analyzed for major and trace elements and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and compared with a reference site. Cadmium, Cu, Pb, and Zn were enriched at Skutviken. Also the PAH content was enriched, in particular for phenantrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene, which are common constituents in stormwater. The use of trace metal ratios provided indications about pollutant sources. Pb-210 dating was used to determine historical changes in metal and PAH fixation in the sediment. The bay Skutviken is enclosed through the construction of a road bank since 1962. The enclosure caused reduced water circulation in the bay, which promotes the occurrence of anoxic conditions with sulphate reduction within the bay. As a consequence of these conditions, metals are trapped in the sediments as sulphides. This study suggests that urban pollutants are efficiently trapped in enclosed bays with restricted water circulation. Such bays are common in areas with postglacial land uplift, where enclosures may have an important impact on water and sediment qualities. The second article describes the conditions in several water bodies close to Luleå. The various catchment areas affect the water and sediment quality of neighbouring and partially connected water bodies on a local level. Point sources, such as a steel plant, stormwater and petrol filling stations were accounted for their impact on water and sediment quality. Postglacial land uplift implies continuous changes of the environment. The natural premises concede possibilities of trapping pollutants in the water bodies. However, in the long term land uplift may also imply the release of trapped pollutants if the submerged soils become oxidised when they are not water covered any more. This release of pollutants can affect living organisms, getting exposed to the contaminated soils. Human impact on the water levels, such as damming up the partially enclosed bays, can slow down the secondary release of pollutants.
Water and sediment quality of urban water bodies in cold climates2011Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
The aim of this study was to investigate and quantify pollution impact on urban waterbodies in cold climates and to find out which complex processes and influencing factors causetrapping or spread of pollutants. In order to do that water, sediment and porewater samplesfrom bays and stormwater ditches in Luleå, northern Sweden, and from an artificialstormwater pond in Sollentuna, south-central Sweden, were analysed for LOI, trace metalsand PAHs. For surface water the particular, colloidal and truly dissolved elementconcentrations were determined by membrane filtration (0.22 μm pore size, 142 mmdiameter, Millipore® mixed cellulose esters) and ultrafiltration in a Millipore® Prep/Scalesystem (manufacturer specified cut-off of 1 kDa and a filter membrane area of 0.54 m2).Sediment and porewater samples from bays in Luleå, receiving stormwater discharge,showed enrichment of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. Also the PAH content was enriched, in particularfor phenantrene, anthracene, fluoranthene and pyrene. Water volume and turnover rate in thewater bodies with low or no surface runoff during wintertime, and ice covering, contribute toanoxic conditions in the water column and sediments. The enclosure of the bay Skutviken in1962 illustrates for how reduced water circulation promotes the occurrence of anoxicconditions with sulphate reduction. As a consequence of these conditions, metals are trappedin the sediments as sulphides. The use of trace metal ratios could not indicate road runoff asmain source for sediment pollution. The degree of pollution was higher in the sediments ofthe bays in Luleå than in a 1998 implemented, stormwater pond in Sollentuna, which receiveshighway runoff.Water concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, S, and Zn showed seasonalvariations in Sollentuna. In winter de-icing agents and use of studded tires cause higher metalconcentrations of Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Mn, Na, and Zn dominated by the truly dissolved phase. InLuleå depletion of oxygen under the thick ice cover can change the redox border from belowsediment surface to above.The sediment in stormwater draining ditches in Luleå showed seasonal variations in grainsize, LOI and metal concentrations. Low runoff intensity in winter enables fine grainsediments to settle already in the ditches. A group of variables that had significant positivecorrelation between each other were Fe2O3 and LOI, Cd, Co, Ni and Zn.Water and sediment quality of the investigated water bodies depends on catchment areacharacteristics and emission impact, from point sources in particular. At all sites, includingthe stormwater pond, retention of metals seems to be favoured by stagnant water andoccurrence of organic material. Pollutants can be trapped due to sorption to organic material,and early diagenetic processes with formation of Mn- and Fe-hydroxides and sulphidereduction. In the stormwater pond this affects only a fraction of the metals in truly dissolvedphase in the water column, while most of the dissolved concentrations will be released to therecipientIn Luleå postglacial land uplift implies continuous changes in the environment, which canlead to changing redox conditions which will necessitate new risk assessments. Futuredrainage of the buried sediments can result in oxidation and release of trapped pollutants.
Stormwater impact on urban water bodies: seasonal variations in sediment metal concentrations in a cold climate - preliminary results2011Conference paper (Other academic)
In this paper, preliminary results of a study investigating the impact of stormwater discharges on the bottom sediment of stormwater recipients in Luleå, northern Sweden are presented. The aim was to evaluate sediment metal concentrations taken in front of stormwater sewer discharge points from two ditches/recipients, their seasonal variation and the influence of geomorphology and vegetation on the metal distribution. Compared with northern Sweden background values, the Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations in the sediment samples were elevated. However, besides stormwater discharges, local sulphide soils in the catchment areas can affect the metal concentrations. Partly, seasonal variations in the metal concentrations were noticed; higher metal concentrations were observed in spring associated with a high LOI content and large fractions of fine grain size particles (<0.125 mm). Low/no runoff in winter and metal accumulation in snow followed by continuous snow melt runoff transports mostly fine grain sizes and therewith associated metals, which then settle and accumulate in the ditches/recipients. Dense reed vegetation can retain coarse grain sizes and supplies the sediment with decomposing organic material. Decomposition processes affect the redox conditions in the sediment through oxygen consumption. In the reduced sediment metals can be trapped in combination with sulphide formation.

Sediment samples and porewater of an enclosed bay (Skutviken) affected by stormwater discharge near the centre of Luleå, northern Sweden, were analyzed for major and trace elements and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and compared to a reference site and local till. Among the studied metals, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were enriched at Skutviken. The use of trace metal ratios provided indications of pollutant sources for the sediment. Also, the PAH content was enriched, in particular for phenantrene, anthracene, fluoranthene and pyrene, which are regarded as common constituents in stormwater. Pb-210 dating was used to determine historical changes in metal and PAH fixation in the sediment. The bay Skutviken was enclosed by the construction of a road bank in 1962. The enclosure led to reduced water circulation in the bay, which promoted the occurrence of anoxic conditions with sulphate reduction within the bay. As a consequence of these conditions, metals are trapped in the sediments as sulphides. This study suggests that enclosed bays with restricted water circulation may be efficient traps for urban pollutants. In areas with postglacial rebound, where such bays are common, enclosure may have an important impact on water and sediment qualities. Due to the postglacial uplift, presently water covered sediments may rise above the groundwater level in the future. These sediments may then become a secondary pollution source if metal sulphides are oxidized.

Urban impact on water bodies in the Luleå area, northern Sweden, and the role of redox processes2012In: Nordic Hydrology, ISSN 0029-1277, E-ISSN 1996-9694, Vol. 43, no 6, p. 917-932Article in journal (Refereed)
Sediment and water from urban water bodies in the Luleå area, northern Sweden, were studied to determine the degree of contamination from metals and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). The heavy metals Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn, which are of main concern in urban stormwater, are enriched in all investigated bays. PAH concentrations were also found to be enriched. The water and sediment quality of the investigated water bodies depends on catchment area characteristics and emission impact, from point sources in particular. Water volume and turnover rate in the water bodies with low water levels and no surface runoff during wintertime, and ice covering during winter, contribute to anoxic conditions in the water column and sediments. The present redox conditions in the water bodies predominantly cause fixation of pollutants in the sediment due to formation of sulphides and slow oxidation of organic pollutants. Postglacial land uplift implies continuous changes in the environment, which can lead to changing redox conditions, thereby necessitating new risk assessments.

Howard & Sinodinos: a mutual need for master and servant! · 7 May 2007
In two articles in the Weekend Sydney Morning Herald, journalist Peter Hartcher profiled Arthur Sinodinos – who recently resigned as John Howard's chief of staff —and related the Sinodinos view on why Howard has been able to remain Prime Minister of Australia for so long.
It seems clear that Howard and Sinodinos, who is described as Howard's "closest confidant and most important lieutenant", needed each other for their considerable success. Such relationships are very common. Milovan Djilas described how Josef Stalin and Vyacheslav Molotov "ideally complemented one another" with Molotov's "relativism" offsetting Stalin's "dogmatism". Mao and Zhou Enlai is another example of such a relationship, as is that of Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering until the invasion of Russia.
Howard himself said that Sinodinos "suited my temperament and we had remarkably similar views about policy"; with Tony Abbott adding the perspective that the Sinodinos was "calm, articulate, measured, thoughtful", which suggests a Molotov-type "relativism".
In the Howard-Sinodinos relationship, Howard felt no sense of threat from the highly competent Sinodinos who "could make me laugh". Falih Rifki Atay described the relationship between Kemal Ataturk and Ismet Inonu (who actually succeeded Ataturk): "Aside from not feeling any personal competition towards Ataturk …he was a hard-working, serious administration man. He was an intellectual who believed in Ataturk." Ditto, it would appear, Sinodinos.
Sinodinos, despite his talents, appears to have needed Howard as master to achieve the success that he has. Falih Rifki Atay wrote that Inonu "had a definite need for Ataturk's authority (in spite of topping his class at the Ottoman's elite military school), while Djilas wrote that Molotov was essentially "impotent without Stalin's leadership".
But what of the reasons for Howard's success? As already noted, Sinodinos himself was important in this. One of Paul Keating's advisers noted that Howard "got a good team and he kept it". Like Napoleon Bonaparte, Howard seems to have chosen reasonably well and then had an aversion to "new faces".
According to Hartcher, "there are six core lessons of success distilled from extended conversations with Sinodinos … but above all is the fundamental disposition of the Prime Minister". "People say that Howard moved Australia to the right," Sinodinos said. "But that's a misunderstanding. The Howard Government succeeded because he expressed the innate conservatism of the Australian people."
In fact, all societies are essentially conservative and longing for stability. Despite the wars that they eventually brought, it was this "conservatism" that delivered Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Napoleon votes in elections.
The first "core lesson", according to Hartcher, is that Sinodinos says that Howard approaches every day as if it could be his last. "We always took the view that you always act as if you're in opposition and your back's to the wall – and you fight accordingly. From day one he never took being in power for granted."
Successful dictators operate in the same cautious way. Albert Speer wrote: "To the imagination of the outsider Hitler was a keen, quick, brutally governing dictator. It is difficult to believe that in reality he edged along hesitantly, almost fearfully. But that was the case."
The second "core lesson"? According to Sinodinos, it had been central to Howard's success to "put some skin in the game". "Rather than avoid difficult and unpopular reforms, Howard tackles them head-on, and is always at his best when he has a cause to fight for. It always brought out the best in him – in terms of his fighting skills, his advocacy skills, it really brought out the passion in him. And when he's out there on the hustings fighting for what he believes in, the public responds very well."
This word "passion" is so important, and along with such words as focus, self-belief and will-power explains the success of even dictators. Djilas wrote of Stalin's "passionate" and "convincing" approach to an issue; General Caulaincourt wrote that Napoleon "put passion into everything" which gave him an "enormous advantage over his adversaries". The loyal-to-the end Joachim von Ribbentrop recalled the effect: "Hitler made a considerable impression on me. … His statements always had something final and definite about them, and appeared to come from his innermost self."
The third "core lesson", according to Hartcher, is the intensity of Howard's day-to-day preoccupation with "filling the vacuum", dominating the media and the political airspace. "Because if you leave a vacuum it will be filled by others – keep the initiative", says Sinodinos.
The essential strategy here is simple: be seen to be "The Man" hard at work for the benefit of the each member of the electorate – ie the source of power! No-one else must be seen as capable of doing this; and the best way of achieving this is to stop then being seen at all. As his brother, Joseph, wrote, Napoleon "want the need for his existence to be so direly felt, and as such a great boon, that anybody would recoil at any other possibility. If anybody could say that all was well with the country if Bonaparte dies, that things would still be well, then my brother would no longer feel safe."
The fourth "core lesson" is an emphasis on unity and discipline. Although people like Howard and successful dictators adopt a divide and rule approach, division is their prerogative – and no-ones else's. What is presented to the world is unity. For dissenters who want out, or are wanted out, there are various options including diplomatic postings and illness.
In 1943 Count Ciano, Italy's Foreign Minister – who was also Mussolini's son-in-law – was sacked but got the convenient local job of ambassador to the Holy See. As Dino Grandi explained: "In order to liquidate Ciano and Buffarini (Minister of the Interior) all the Ministers were dismissed as a wrapping round the removal of the two elements he wanted to get rid of." Hitler was a fan of the "sick leave" option. Just before the end in 1945, Hitler forced Goering to resign all his powers and stripped him of his "rights of succession". Goering was out on the pretense of a "severe heart attack", the intent of which was, according to Speer, "to preserve the German people's faith in the internal unity of the top leadership".
The fifth "core lesson" is Howard's care never to appear arrogant or complacent – "not to be seen to cock a snook at the electorate. They want you to earn their vote."
This is potentially tricky PR, even for dictators. On the one hand, people want "A Man" to take care of issues and relieve them of having to think. Speer described himself as "like millions of others" in this regard in the early 1930s. On the other hand, people do not want to feel that they are being dictated too. This is where pretense comes into play. According Sergo Beria, Stalin was a "born actor", and Mao's doctor wrote that he was a "marvellous" actor. So as to not appear arrogant, Hitler, according to Speer, "always attempted to persuade" and often gave his orders as "an opinion only". Even the brutal Stalin did not want to be seen "to cock the snoot" at those he depended upon for power. "He never gave direct orders", wrote one of his lieutenants, "so you had to make your own conclusions". He would just say: "Do as you wish."
And finally, according to Hartcher and Sinodinos, Howard had developed a "sophisticated radar system" for sensing looming political problems. It included conventional mechanisms such as polling, but also a priority on seeking out people with gripes. "He hates cheer squads."
All people in power, including all successful dictators, benefit from the axiom, "If only the Tsar knew!" Yet, there are limits, and successful dictators are always on the look-out for a potential political problems – they know the danger of "cheer squads"! As First Consul, Napoleon told Joseph Fouche, his Minister of Police: "I wish to be informed about everything in the greatest detail and to work with you personally at least once, even twice a day when necessary". Baron Fain, Napoleon's third secretary, gave an additional example of Napoleon's "polling" – he regularly "looked over the lists kept at the palace gates". "Each morning the Grand Marshal made up a bulletin indicating the names of people from the outside who had presented themselves the previous day, and the names of the people inside whom they had asked for. This provided (Napoleon with) an idea of the habits and relationships that the principle inhabitants of the palace had with the people of the city."

ANZ Centre in Melbourne's Docklands, collaboratively designed by HASSELL and Lend Lease design, applies contemporary thinking in workplace design and leadership in sustainability to reflect the client's focus on engagement and productivity while responding to the site's unique location.
Inspired by the riverside setting and the maritime character intrinsic to Docklands, the fluid forms and powerful internal spaces contribute to a commanding presence. The design evolved around the concept of an 'urban campus', focused on a central 'common', with a hierarchy of shared spaces, an openness fostering interaction, and a rich variety of settings providing scale and complexity.
The development provides a total net area of 84,450 sqm over 13 levels, with floorplates, ranging from 9,800 - 6,600 sqm, all configured to maximise natural daylight penetration, promote workplace integration and communication, and provide flexibility.
ANZ Centre is the most open and permeable banking headquarters in the world. Rarely, if ever, has a bank invited the public into the heart of its workplace.
The design for the landmark building located in Melbourne's Docklands is based on the concept of an 'urban campus', focused around a central 'common'.
Including permeable public space within the workplace brings the community into the organisation's heart, creating a lively ground-level hub including cafes, public art and a visitor centre. This demonstrates a bold new direction for a banking institution seeking to balance the need for security with the desire to demonstrate transparency and openness.
A cross section of employees – including graduates and younger generation employees – helped shape the design as part of an extensive consultation and research program. The result – a flexible, open plan office space – inspires ANZ's diverse workplace community today and anticipates its future needs.
Expansive floorplates are configured to maximise daylight penetration, promote collaboration and accommodate varied work styles. Approximately 55 percent of the work area is shared collaborative space with the remaining 45 percent acting as a dedicated desk environment. Five vibrant and distinct hub types are distributed across 44 individual hub spaces that connect quiet working zones.
In the ANZ offices we find a vibrant and dynamic workplace and community for 6,000 people at Docklands. From the beginning the architect and client worked together to understand the existing workplace culture and how they could function more effectively in a flexible, connected way. At 83,000 square metres, shared spaces are organised in and around the central atrium and include meeting rooms, breakout spaces and a 250-seat theatre. North- and south facing offices spaces also adjoin the atrium.
Much thought has gone into wayfinding, the creation of destinations and the lengthening, framing and foreshortening of views to achieve human scale in what is otherwise a very large building. Objects and volumes in the atrium and the use of mixture of materials have aided this outcome.
Engineering solutions are impressively integrated into the whole, for example fire and smoke managementallowing contiguous atrium and office floors. Floor displacement air is one of a range of initiatives that reduce the building's energy consumption. Water is recycled and stored and renewable energy generated.
The end product is as much an exercise in human relations as it is architecture and the architects have created a flexible building for a business and for work practices that continue to change and adapt to the needs of this ANZ community at Docklands.

Q: HttpError 400 when trying to run DataProcSparkOperator task from a local Airflow I'm testing out a DAG that I used to have running on Google Composer without error, on a local install of Airflow. The DAG spins up a Google Dataproc cluster, runs a Spark job (JAR file located on a GS bucket), then spins down the cluster.
The DataProcSparkOperator task fails immediately each time with the following error:
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://dataproc.googleapis.com/v1beta2/projects//regions/global/jobs:submit?alt=json returned "Invalid resource field value in the request.">

It looks as though the URI is incorrect/incomplete, but I am not sure what is causing it. Below is the meat of my DAG. All the other tasks execute without error, and the only difference is the DAG is no longer running on Composer:
default_dag_args = {
    'start_date': yesterday,
    'email': models.Variable.get('email'),
    'email_on_failure': True,
    'email_on_retry': True,
    'retries': 0,
    'retry_delay': dt.timedelta(seconds=30),
    'project_id': models.Variable.get('gcp_project'),
    'cluster_name': 'susi-bsm-cluster-{{ ds_nodash }}'
}

def slack():
    '''Posts to Slack if the Spark job fails'''
    text = ':x: The DAG *{}* broke and I am not smart enough to fix it. Check the StackDriver and DataProc logs.'.format(DAG_NAME)
    s.post_slack(SLACK_URI, text)

with DAG(DAG_NAME, schedule_interval='@once',
    default_args=default_dag_args) as dag:
    # pylint: disable=no-value-for-parameter

    delete_existing_parquet = bo.BashOperator(
        task_id = 'delete_existing_parquet',
        bash_command = 'gsutil rm -r {}/susi/bsm/bsm.parquet'.format(GCS_BUCKET)
    )

    create_dataproc_cluster = dpo.DataprocClusterCreateOperator(
        task_id = 'create_dataproc_cluster',
        num_workers = num_workers_override or models.Variable.get('default_dataproc_workers'),
        zone = models.Variable.get('gce_zone'),
        init_actions_uris = ['gs://cjones-composer-test/susi/susi-bsm-dataproc-init.sh'],
        trigger_rule = trigger_rule.TriggerRule.ALL_DONE
    )

    run_spark_job = dpo.DataProcSparkOperator(
       task_id = 'run_spark_job',
       main_class = MAIN_CLASS,
       dataproc_spark_jars = [MAIN_JAR],
       arguments=['{}/susi.conf'.format(CONF_DEST), DATE_CONST]
    )

    notify_on_fail = po.PythonOperator(
        task_id = 'output_to_slack',
        python_callable = slack,
        trigger_rule = trigger_rule.TriggerRule.ONE_FAILED
    )

    delete_dataproc_cluster = dpo.DataprocClusterDeleteOperator(
       task_id = 'delete_dataproc_cluster',
       trigger_rule = trigger_rule.TriggerRule.ALL_DONE
    )

    delete_existing_parquet >> create_dataproc_cluster >> run_spark_job >> delete_dataproc_cluster >> notify_on_fail

Any assistance with this would be much appreciated!

A: Unlike the DataprocClusterCreateOperator, the DataProcSparkOperator does not take the project_id as a parameter. It gets it from the Airflow connection (if you do not specify the gcp_conn_id parameter, it defaults to google_cloud_default). You have to configure your connection.
The reason you don't see this while running DAG in Composer is that Composer configures the google_cloud_default connection.

California confirms first case of new coronavirus strain
Representative iamge
California [US], December 31 (ANI/Sputnik): Health officials in the US state of California have confirmed a first case of the new mutated coronavirus strain that was first detected in the United Kingdom, Governor Gavin Newsom said.
"Just an hour or so ago we were informed that this new variant, this new strain has been identified here in the state of California, in southern California," Newsom said in a virtual discussion with top US health official Dr Anthony Fauci on Wednesday.
Fauci said Californians should not feel odd about the discovery of the new strain and added that more cases are expected to be identified in other US states. Fauci also said US health officials still believe coronavirus vaccines will work against the new strain.
Health officials in the state of Colorado have confirmed one case of the new strain and suspect they have a second patient who likely is infected with the new strain as well.
Earlier in December, the UK authorities announced that a new coronavirus strain was detected in the country, adding that the new variant can be up to 70 per cent more transmissible. There is no evidence that the new strain is more pathogenic. (ANI/Sputnik)

Is September unlucky for Bollywood?
September doesn't seem like the best of times for our actors. From Abhishek Bachchan to John Abraham, Amitabh Bachchan to Vivek Oberoi have suffered injuries while shooting. Read on...
bollywood Updated: Sep 25, 2011 00:30 IST
September doesn't seem like the best of times for our actors as many are suffering injuries while shooting.
Abhi met with an accident on the sets of his upcoming film, Bol Bachchan, in Jaipur. The 35-year-old, who injured his right eye and sustained a deep gash above the eye while performing a stunt for the Rohit Shetty film, had to fly back to Mumbai the same day. He even posted about his injury on Twitter saying, "Had a fall whilst filming a small action sequence in Jaipur. Have come back to Mumbai now and will resume work at the earliest... I will be fine. Can't say the same for the rickshaw!!! Banged him up good." He has recovered now and has joined back for the shoot of the film in Jaipur.
Rana Duggabati
Daggubati, who made his debut in Bollywood with the film Dum maro dum, got injured while shooting for one of the action scenes in Ram Gopal Varma's Department. The 26-year-old injured his knees and bruised his shoulder while shooting in a steel factory on the outskirts of Mumbai. He was supposed to jump over few boxes, but missed his steps and fell directly on his knees. "The timing of the jump went wrong and I fell directly on my knees. My right knee felt the impact, due to which even the knee cap I wore broke," Rana was quoted as saying. After resting for a week at his home in Hyderabad, Rana has resumed the shoot in Mumbai.
Oberoi injured his back while shooting for Vinod Bachchan's upcoming film, Zilla Ghaziabad. Vivek's accident happened at Mahabaleshwar when he fell while doing a stunt scene as the harness slipped. The 35-year-old had to return to Mumbai the very next day. "Vivek is someone who is known to do his own stunts ever since he began his career with the film, Company. Even for his upcoming film, Krrish, he has beefed up, which led to a muscle-pull in his back. When he fell while shooting, he hurt his back," reveals a source. The actor has now recovered from the injuries and has joined back to the shoot.
Big B suffered an injury in his ribs while shooting for Ram Gopal Varma's film, Department, in Mumbai on Wednesday. The 68-year-old, who was last seen in Prakash Jha's recent film, Aarakshan, posted on Twitter about the same saying, "A minor incident on set during semi action sequence...got hit on chest rib cage, some damage inside, pain on breathing, bearable!" He also added, "will repair on its own said doc." Surprisingly, the actor did not tell anyone on the sets about the injury and continued shooting.
Other stars who got injured this year
Ranbir injured himself while was shooting for Anurag Basu's upcoming film, Barfee, in July this year. The mishap happened when a rod hit him on his forehead leaving an intense cut.
Shahid got injured while shooting for his latest release, Mausam, when he fell off a giant wheel in May. He injured his hand and was rushed for medical aid.
John had a bad fall while shooting for a stunt scene in the film, Force, in March. He was supposed to jump from one moving goods train to another, but he lost his balance and fell on his back over a heap of stones. He suffered as many as 40 injury marks on his back.
During the shoot of his upcoming film, Agneepath, early this year, Hrithik suffered various injuries. First, he hurt himself while performing a Ganpati festival sequence when one of the diyas fell and hot oil spilled over his hand. Then, while doing a gulaal sequence, gulaal went into his eyes, and later, he even injured his fingers while shooting a scene where he had to hit a coconut on the ground and break it.
