Sutherland et al. Expedition 371 Preliminary Report Abstract Eocene tectonic change occurred at a turning point in Cenozoic climate. Long-term global warming through the Paleocene–Eocene International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 371 transition culminated in the Early Eocene Climate Optimum drilled six sites in the Tasman Sea of the southwest Pacific between (EECO; ~53–49 Ma), which was followed by overall cooling 27 July and 26 September 2017. The primary goal was to understand through the remainder of the Cenozoic (Figure F5) (Zachos et al., Tonga-Kermadec subduction initiation through recovery of Paleo- 2008). A secondary scientific goal of Expedition 371 was to address gene sediment records. Secondary goals involved understanding re- the question of why Earth’s climate might move between multimil- gional oceanography and climate since the Paleogene. Six sites were lion-year greenhouse and icehouse climate states. Under very high drilled, recovering 2506 m of cored sediment and volcanic rock in pCO2 conditions or high climate sensitivity, global climate models 36.4 days of on-site drilling during a total expedition length of 58 (Huber and Caballero, 2011; Lunt et al., 2012) can reasonably simu- days.

    Dxpedition Report from Rose Spit, Haida Gwaii

    Rose Spit mini-DXpedition 11 July, 2011. Rose Spit loggings for 11 July, 2011: Medium Wave and Long Wave Here is a compilation of what I heard on an overnight DC only DXpedition to Rose Spit, about 25 km from the closest power lines, on the north east corner of Haida Gwaii. This spit is sandy, and covered in short grasses and strawberry plants, so ideal for remote DXpeditions, as it is accessible by 4x4 wheel drive vehicles. Conditions were not very good with the A index around 13, and K indices between 2 and 4, and solar flux at 90.6. The loggings below on MW are almost all from using a 750’ BOG aimed at New Zealand, unterminated. Here’s an aerial photo of the Spit. I was located just a few hundred meters past the tree line, in about the center of the spit, which faces N/NE. The larger photo below shows Rose Spit looking back to the West/South West to the treeline. Lot’s of room for BOGs! The figure below shows a view in the opposite direction down the spit to the N/NW where the 750’ BOGs were located. The NZ wire could have easily been double the distance. A more likely scenario for next time might be a phased BOG array towards NZ or dual Wellbrook delta loops. My wonderful DXpedition vehicle: A Nissan Frontier, 4 door, 4x4. Very comfortable, with a folding down front passenger seat, making a perfect platform for the radios and computer. Also a comfortable rear seat to sleep.

Burns claims researchers have found mercury based equipment may provide incorrect readings. Professor Stephen Harrap claims GPs have not been making errors, but old mercury machines can be hard to read accurately. Professor Harrap explains how digital equipment works. Harrap claims most GPs do not use digital equipment yet, but they should because mercury is toxic and there is a move to replace mercury- based machines. Professor Harrap claims modern machines can be available for home measurement. Interviewees: Professor Stephen Harrap, President, High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia Duration: 3:41 Audience: 61,000 ABC North Queensland Late Afternoons - 05/10/2006 - 05:48 PM Nicole Dyer The mercury-based equipment that is currently used by doctors to take blood pressure reading could be replaced by digital technology. The President of the High Blood Pressure Research Council, Professor Stephen Harrap explains. He said the mercury method is both time and labour intensive, while the digital method involves simply pushing a button and is much more reliable. He said mercury is also poisonous. He said the High Blood Pressure Research Council will announce tomorrow at a meeting of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in Brisbane an offer of one of these machines free to any GP in Australia who is interested.

    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.
