The answer of course is that we just don’t know. The successful testing of a vaccine could end our anxiety in a couple of months, or the dreaded second wave, could extend our misery for a couple of years. The one thing we can all agree on is that Planet Earth will never be the same again. To begin with, our language will change, “Global We also cast a critical eye on our forestry investments. Pandemic”, “Covid-19”, “the might Bubble”, “social Forestry, irrigation, and dams play a vital role in distancing”, “contract tracking” and “immune harnessing hydro-electricity, and allow us to diversify compromised” are just a few examples of words that land use.

  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.

My Fair Lady was simply George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences spectacular in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of a sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue. Pygmalion is named after the Cypriot King from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own creation: an ivory statue called ‘Galatea’. When he fell in love with Galatea, the Goddess Aphrodite brought the statue to life and Pygmalion married her. As well as reflecting Shaw’s feminist views, Pygmalion provides a commentary on the class system which may not be so irrelevant today! Henry Higgins believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a Duchess at ease in ‘polite’ society by changing the way she speaks. However, his ‘creation’ has a mind of her own and a battle of wills begins that challenges them both in unexpected ways. my By the time Lerner and Leowe’s musical adaptation of Pygmalion, My Fair Lady, ended its New York run in 1962, it had run six and a half years and for 2,717 performances, more than any other previous musical in stage history. In London, the show had a five and a half year run of 2,281 performances with New York’s fair original cast members, Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews and Stanley Holloway.

  • Awarua Wetlands Fire 27 October 2005 a Case Study
    AWARUA WETLANDS FIRE 27 th OCTOBER 2005 A CASE STUDY FRASER TOWNSEND BUSHFIRE RESEARCH TECHNICIAN ENSIS FOREST BIOSECURITY AND PROTECTION SCION CHRISTCHURCH Introduction This case study provides an analysis of the fire that burned across part of the Awarua Wetlands on the 27 th of October 2005. The Awarua wetlands (Figure 1) are situated near the Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter, approximately 17km from Invercargill city. This wetland region covers an area of 14,000 hectares and holds significant importance as a Department of Conservation (DoC) scientific reserve. The area is a key site for migratory birds that use it as a site for resting, feeding and breeding. Wetland areas in this region contain mainly bogs rather than swamps, which contain saturated, stagnant and infertile water and are characterised by peat 1. The aluminium smelter at Tiwai Point is a major contributor to the regional, and indeed national, economy. The Awarua area also has a well-documented history of fire events. It is here in this area, almost nineteen years to the day after the 1986 Awarua Wetlands Fire, that another fire threatened the flora and fauna of the area, as well as life and property. Fire Chronology and Development Ignition and initial attack The New Zealand Fire Service Communications Centre in Christchurch recorded the first call reporting a fire at Awarua Siding Road at 1158 2 on Thursday the 27 th of October 2005. However it is possible that the fire may have started on either Tuesday the 25th or Wednesday the 26 th of October. At this initial stage, strong northerly winds of approximately 35km/h fanned the fire.
