"This year, we had 65 applications from students at 14 universities," Nicole Calnan, Federation Membership and Training Officer told the conference.
The scholarships, worth $4,000, are an example of Federation's ongoing commitment to building and supporting the teaching profession in public schools and in supporting the next generation of activists.
This year, the Federation has increased the number of scholarships from 14 to 15, by adding the John Kaye Scholarship, awarded to an applicant who demonstrates a strong commitment to the environment and/or social justice.
Sydney-based Prince Aydin, who is studying at the University of Sydney, was awarded this scholarship. Growing up in a working-class refugee family, being assigned female at birth, navigating a disability, and belonging to the GLBTIQ+ rainbow, has launched Prince into becoming a loyal unionist and activist who has recruited more than 20 student members to Federation this year.
The other recipients are:
Future Teachers who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
Anthony Celi (Charles Sturt University, Wagga)
Joanne Hine (University of Sydney)
Future Teacher from a Language Background Other Than English
Natalie Leung (University of Sydney)

Have you ever considered upcycling to save cash but never taken the plunge? Well, that was me until now.
I was recently looking for a shelf for my daughter's room but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I found one I quite liked in Ikea but it was £75 – far too expensive, while another one I liked in Tesco was still £50. So I looked in Wilko instead and while cheaper, it still wasn't what I was really after.
However, I have recently been reading some fab crafting, upcycling and make-do-and-mend forum posts and blogs, and September's ZeroWasteWeek finally prompted me to have my first go at upcycling.
As it happens, I'm on an ongoing mission to declutter the house and garage – quite a battle as I have a natural hoarder for a husband but that's another story – so I've been trying to clear them bit by bit over the summer.
As I cleared some of the garage guess what I found? This old shelf – perfect!
However, the spray paint ran out after a couple of coats and I had to buy more. I paid £6.74 at B&Q but I later spotted it much cheaper in Aldi. So if you're in need of some paint, make sure you compare prices at a few stores before buying.
It was on the third coat of paint I realised I maybe should have used a primer first. Perhaps this is where shabby chic originated from though – new upcyclers like me who couldn't be bothered to start again.
Next, I decided to stencil it. Originally I considered doing flowers and horses but my eight-year-old is Pokémon mad, so I hit on the idea of stencilling characters on it as a surprise. I printed out some online images, cut painstakingly around them and made my own stencils.
Despite family stories that I'm descended from the painter Turner, art is not one of my strong points. My stencils were slightly too small and I should have left more space around them. But the look is certainly a unique one and the main thing is my daughter's happy with it.
So, instead of a potential £75 cost, the total came to about £7 for spray paint, printer paper and ink.
I haven't included the cost of the shelf because it was languishing in the garage doing nothing and would have been given away or taken to the recycling centre if I hadn't used it.
For other upcycling virgins like me, I'm blogging to perhaps help inspire you to give it a go and save money like I did. If I can do it you certainly can.
Have you tried upcycling? Let us know how you get on via the comments section below, or on our Forum Crafting board where there are tons more upcycling and crafting projects to inspire you, including the fab Soulie's 15 Projects in 2015.

Lebanon Master Plan
Future Land Use Map
The Future Land Use Map, which is part of the Land Use Chapter (Ch. 2) of the Lebanon Master Plan, is intended to provide a broad overview of how land should be used in the City and graphic guidance for implementing the text and policies of the Land Use Chapter. However, the Future Land Use Map is not a Zoning Map and it is not a regulatory document in and of itself. The Zoning Map and the Zoning Ordinance, on the other hand, are the primary regulatory tools for implementing the policies and goals of the Master Plan. In order to do, the Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map should generally be in concert with each other.
As part of the City's efforts to implement the 2012 Master Plan, the Planning and Development Department hosted several Community Meetings in 2017 and 2018 to review and discuss the Master Plan's Land Use Chapter in relation to the City's Zoning Map. The Department compared the Future Land Use Map and the Zoning Map to identify areas of the City where existing zoning was inconsistent with the land use goals expressed in the Future Land Use Map. Following the Community Meetings, in January 2018, the City Council approved a total of eleven (11) Zoning Map amendments to ensure the Zoning regulations were consistent with and supportive of the land use goals expressed in the Future Land Use Map. In March 2018, City voters approved three (3) additional Zoning Map amendments. Subsequently, in June 2018, the Planning Board adopted five (5) amendments to the Future Land Use Map for areas where the existing zoning regulations were found to reflect the community's preferred land use policy.
Feel free to contact the Planning and Development Department at 603-448-1457 or planning@lebcity.com if you have additional questions or concerns.

Master Plan Implementation


Gabon: (i) quantify forest biomass and carbon stocks and test the ability of LiDAR to estimate forest degradation; (ii) estimate elephant populations and evaluate the ecological impact of elephants on forest biomass and diversity; (iii) study the impact of different land uses, including defaunation, on ecological processes and forest species composition, and diversity; (iv) evaluate the efficacy of incorporating para-biologists into conservation research as a means of reducing levels of commercial bushmeat.
Human disturbance influences tropical forests worldwide, altering their form and composition, and in some cases, threatening their very existence. The reach of industrial scale logging, palm and rubber agriculture, and mining now extends to the most isolated areas. These activities and the hunting and poaching that follow threaten to transform the remaining primary tropical forests into a degraded mosaic, emptied of wildlife. The reduction in animal abundance is expected to interrupt plant-animal interactions, such as seed dispersal, seed and seedling predation, and herbivory. We study how changes in the animal community cascade to affect forest structure, composition and services through the modification or loss of ecological processes. In particular, we assess whether there are tipping points at which the composition or structure of the plant community might shift from one state to another or at which ecosystem services are diminished or lost.
With the Gabon Parks Agency and OLAM-Gabon, we are measuring the loss of biomass and carbon that comes with deforestation for palm oil agriculture in Gabon. This project involves quantifying forest biomass in the agricultural area and in the high conservation value forest area within an active palm oil concession. We will also evaluate the best field methods for estimating forest carbon in agriculture concessions.
Project 1: To assess forest carbon stocks, sequestration and dynamics. To evaluate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance (including defaunation) on community composition of animal species and ecological processes (seed dispersal, herbivory, etc.). To determine the drives of forest diversity and composition.
Project 2: Among other things, we are studying the impact of selective logging on the structure and composition of Central African forests. To answer this question, Connie Clark and I set up the Sangha Plot Network — a system of 30 1-ha plots that straddle a gradient of selective logging and hunting. Since 2005, we have followed the survival and growth of more than 11,000 individual trees. Our preliminary results suggest that even 30 years after timber harvest, logged forest still contain significantly lower biomass than undisturbed forest. We are currently conducting our third census of the plots to evaluate forest dynamics and regeneration and to measure the impact of a second timber harvest.
Project 2: Gabon is a beautiful, diverse, and remarkably forested nation (~85% forest cover). To inform its land-use plan and its low emissions development strategy, the government of Gabon has embarked on a nationwide assessment of its terrestrial carbon. Working with the Gabon Parks Agency (ANPN), the Gabon Climate Council (NCCC), the US Forest Service, UCLA and Leeds universities, I coordinate the development of a national terrestrial carbon monitoring system. The monitoring system consists of a countrywide network of 1-ha forest plots located in a stratified, random design across Gabon. By combining field data with remote sensing data, particularly LiDAR, we are quantifying the country's carbon stocks.

I had a lot of thought after seeming this movie during take one action festival. First on the impact human choices have on nature (pollution, dry rivers, immerge lands…), even you know all of that having it in front of our eyes like that is like a huge slap into the face, and make you reconsider some of your choice and actions. Also the huge inequality on the planet about the access to water: 748 million people doesn't have access to clean water every day. And all the derived problems about sanitation: 2.5 billion people don't have access to adequate sanitation, one in three of the world's population and a child dies every minute because they don't have toilets.
WATERMARK is a feature documentary from multiple-award winning filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nick de Pencier, and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky, making their second collaboration after Manufactured Landscapesin 2006. Watermark is the third part of Burtynsky's Water project which includes a book and major photographic exhibition. Shot in stunning 5K ultra high-definition video and full of soaring aerial perspectives, this film shows water as a terraforming element and the scale of its reach, as well as the magnitude of our need and use. In Watermark, the viewer is immersed in a world defined by a magnificent force of nature that we all too often take for granted – until it's gone.


"I found this quote last year after I was made redundant from a stressful job. I'd started my career as a graphic designer, and though I'd moved into other areas, art was never far from my thoughts. Over the years I've used it to relax and escape work pressures, and this quote perfectly summed up what it has done for me. It also helps me to push through any blocks I have when designing now. Whether I develop an idea or put it aside, it's an evolution that makes me stronger."

Rewriting quantum chips with a beam of light
By: City College of New York

The promise of ultrafast quantum computing has moved a step closer to reality with a technique to create rewritable computer chips using a beam of light. Researchers from The City College of New York (CCNY) and the University of California Berkeley (UCB) used light to control the spin of an atom's nucleus in order to encode information.
The technique could pave the way for quantum computing, a long-sought leap forward toward computers with processing speeds many times faster than today's. The group published their results on June 26 in "Nature Communications."
Current electronic devices are approaching the upper limits in processing speed, and they rely on etching a pattern into a semiconductor to create a chip or integrated circuit. These patterns of interconnections serve as highways to shuttle information around the circuit, but there is a drawback.
"Once the chip is printed, it can only be used one way," explained Dr. Jeffrey Reimer, UCB professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and the study co-author.
The team – including CCNY Professor of Physics Carlos Meriles and PhD graduate students Jonathan King of UCB and Yunpu Li of CCNY– saw a remedy for these problems in the emerging sciences of spintronics and quantum computing.
They have developed a technique to use laser light to pattern the alignment of "spin" within atoms so that the pattern can be rewritten on the fly. Such a technique may one day lead to rewritable spintronic circuits.

Digital electronics and conventional computing rely on translating electrical charges into the zeros and ones of binary code. A "spintronics" computer, on the other hand, would use the quantum property of electron spin, which enables the electron to store any number between zero and one.
Imagine this as if the electron were a "yin-yang" symbol in which the proportions of the dark and light areas—representing values from zero to one—could vary at will. This would mean that multiple computations could be done simultaneously, which would amp up processing power.
Attempts at using electrons for quantum computing have been plagued, however, by the fact that electron spins switch back and forth rapidly. Thus, they make very unstable vehicles to hold information. To suppress the random switching back and forth of electrons, the UCB and CCNY researchers used laser light to produce long-lasting nuclear spin "magnets" that can pull, push, or stabilize the spins of the electrons.
They did this by illuminating a sample of gallium arsenide – the same semiconductor used in cell phone chips – with a pattern of light, much as lithography etches a physical pattern onto a traditional integrated circuit. The illuminated pattern aligned the spins of all the atomic nuclei, and, thus, their electrons, at once, creating a spintronic circuit.
"What you could have is a chip you can erase and rewrite on the fly with just the use of a light beam," said Professor Meriles. Changing the pattern of light altered the layout of the circuit instantly.
"If you can actually rewrite with a beam of light and alter this pattern, you can make the circuit morph to adapt to different requirements," he added. "Imagine what you can make a system like that do for you!"

The Foreign Correspondents Club (FCC) Angkor – once the official residence of the French governor of the Cambodian protectorate, and a pied-à-terre for journalists and émigrés – is set to reopen its doors this spring, following a US$60m (€52.7m, £45m) renovation.
Designed to evoke the "tropical modernism" of present-day Siem Reap, the mansion-like hotel will be managed by international hospitality group Avani Hotels and Resorts and feature 60 new rooms plus expanded facilities, including a bar, restaurant, spa, pool, and lounge.
The property – Avani's first holding in the Cambodian hospitality market – is situated opposite the royal palace of the King of Cambodia, several minutes away from the UNESCO-designated Angkor Wat temple complex.
Plans to refurbish the resort, which has been a considered a local landmark since the 1960s, were first announced in 2015.
Speaking on the project, Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels, the parent company of Avani Hotels and Resorts, said: "We believe FCC Angkor will be home to the intrepid traveller seeking an authentic experience in the social hub of Siem Reap."
Susan Devine, a representative for the owner of FCC Angkor, commented: "We are excited to be working with Avani Hotels and Resorts as they are exceptional operators of lifestyle hotels, and well-aligned to promote and position the FCC Angkor and FCC Collection brand."
She added: "The new FCC will also be a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts, joining us in the commitment to deliver extraordinary, engaging, and unique experiences to our global guests."
