NEXUS BOOKS, VIDEOS, ADS, SUBS...................81–88 APRIL – MAY 2007 www.nexusmagazine.com NEXUS • 1 Editorial NEXUS MAGAZINE warm welcome to another info-packed edition of NEXUS Magazine. We have lots of Volume 14, Number 3 Ainteresting articles as usual, including two on the subject of photographing the human APRIL – MAY 2007 bioelectromagnetic fields (the aura). Now don't get me wrong: we are not talking about PUBLISHED BY those aura photos that you get for $25 at the various new-age trade fairs around the world. NEXUS Magazine UK We are talking about real-time digital imagery of energy fields, displayed on screens, in EDITOR full colour. Duncan M. Roads A few months ago, I was privileged to meet Dr Harry Oldfield and his partner Evy King CO-EDITOR as they passed through the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland, Australia (where we Catherine Simons live) on a lecture tour. I first heard of Harry's technological and diagnostic breakthroughs ASSISTANT EDITOR/SUB-EDITOR many years ago, and I was more than impressed with what I saw in his presentation. Ruth Parnell With the advent of modern technology, Harry has been able to streamline his equipment OFFICE ADMIN/EDITORS' ASSISTANTS for imaging energy fields into a hand-held, palmtop computer with a built-in video Jenny Hawke; Susie Foster camera. To be brief, it was wonderful to see photographic evidence confirming that we UK OFFICE ADMIN have chakras, acupuncture meridians and energy fields, and most importantly to see how Marcus Allen; Alex Allen illness is shown up in these energy fields—often before it shows up in our physical body. CONTRIBUTORS THIS ISSUE Of course, the next logical question is: if Harry can videotape and photograph auras and Peter Phillips, Lew Brown and Bridget Thornton; chakras with startling clarity, can his gear show up other "invisible" energy patterns, i.e., Tom Storey; Walter Last; Evy King; Roger Taylor, PhD, BVSc; Tony Bushby; ghosts, cloaked UFOs, spirit entities, etc.? The answer is "yes", and it is this area that David Wilcock; Tony Healy and Paul Cropper; excites me the most. Due to the fact that we don't publish in colour, you will have to visit Cristoforo Barbato Harry's websites, noted in Evy King's article, to see some of the many images for yourself. CARTOONS I will be sure to have Harry at our next conference, whenever that's going to be. Phil Somerville In fact, the whole subject is just so fascinating that we also have a paper by Dr Roger COVER GRAPHIC Taylor with information on Russian advances in Kirlian photography and Jeff Edis, [email protected] bioelectrography as well as his own findings. Indeed, you will notice from Roger's article PRINTING and from David Wilcock's Science News article on the theories and experiments of Dr Goodhed Print Group, Bicester, Oxon., UK Nikolai Kozyrev just how advanced the Russian researchers are in terms of what Western DISTRIBUTION scientists call "fringe science", so please make an effort to read about all these findings.

  • Report on Surveys Conducted in 2012-2014 for Koalas in Coastal Forests in the Bermagui/Mumbulla Area of South Eastern NSW
    CORRIDORS AND CORE HABITAT FOR KOALAS Report on surveys conducted in 2012-2014 for Koalas in coastal forests in the Bermagui/Mumbulla area of South eastern NSW Sponsored by the Australian Government’s Biodiversity Fund Managed by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage January 2016 Introduction The Corridors and Core Habitat Project is a 6 year cross-tenure landscape management initiative that commenced in 2012 aiming to protect, enhance and connect habitat sustaining the last known koala population in NSW Far South Coast forests. It is sponsored by the Australian Government’s Biodiversity Fund and managed by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. The project’s objectives for the coastal forests study area were to: undertake a survey program across the study area, protect 2800 ha of core koala habitat in State Forests and locate alternative timber resources, consolidate partnerships with other agencies, local landholders and indigenous communities support integrated monitoring and management actions to increase the recovery potential of these koalas. review landscape environmental issues such as fire, degraded and fragmented habitat and feral predators and develop effective measures to maintain and enhance koala habitat. This report provides information on the koala survey component of the project. This was primarily undertaken in the period 2012-14 and built on a previous survey that was undertaken in 2007-9. The objectives of the study were to gather and analyse data to: 1. assess the distribution and abundance of the population 2. compare its results with the koala survey undertaken in 2007-9 3. provide baseline data for an ongoing monitoring program, and 4.

  • Accessory Publication the Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, And
    Accessory Publication The Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, and Hydrometridae of Australia (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) with a reanalysis of the phylogeny of semiaquatic bugs Nils Møller AndersenA and Tom A. WeirB AZoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark. BCSIRO Entomology, GPO Box 1700, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract The semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera-Heteroptera, infraorder Gerromorpha), comprising water striders and their allies, are familiar inhabitants of water surfaces in all continents. Currently, the world fauna has more than 1,900 described species classified in eight families and 165 genera.A phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony was performed on a dataset comprising 56 morphological characters scored for 24 examplar genera covering all families and subfamilies of Gerromorpha. The phylogenetic relationships found concur with those presented by Andersen (1982) except that the relationships between some subfamilies of Veliidae andGerridae are unresolved. The Australian fauna of Gerromorpha comprises six families, 30 genera, and 123 species. One third of the genera and more than 80% of the species are endemic to Australia. Previously, we have covered all Australian species of the families Gerridae, Hermatobatidae, and Veliidae. The present paper deals with the families Hebridae, Hydrometridae, and Mesoveliidae. We offer redescriptions or descriptive notes on all previously described species, describe Mesovelia ebbenielseni sp. nov. (Mesoveliidae), Austrohebrus apterus, gen. et sp. nov., and Hebrus pilosus sp. nov. (Hebridae), and synonymise Hebrus woodwardi Lansbury, syn. nov. (Hebridae) and Hydrometra halei Hungerford and Evans, syn. nov. (Hydrometridae). We present keys for the identification of genera and species, and map the distribution of all species.
