Ricky is 21 from the Gold Coast and she thinks she got her looks from her dad and smoking weed from her mum. According to a genetics study, the likelihood of using marijuana can be inherited. The study looked at the genetic make-up of more than 180, 000 people around the world. Professor Eske Derks from the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research, one of the authors of the study, says the study tells them that cannabis use is a heritable trait. Derks adds they've found a strong link between cannabis use and schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The research is still figuring out whether cannabis causes or exacerbates schizophrenia and other mental health issues.

She says scientists have also found genetic links between cannabis use, some mental conditions, and certain personality traits. Childs adds Derks co-led this study. Derks notes they included information on cannabis use from over 180,000 participants, which included international people. She explains they compared the genetic profiles of cannabis users to those who do not and found differences in the frequencies of those 35 genes. Derks states genes contribute to about 40% of the risk to take cannabis. She says they investigated whether genetic influence on cannabis use also influences the risk of schizophrenia and they found people who have a high genetic risk will be more likely to start using cannabis.

    STORYTELLING AND NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES: INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF THE ABC’S HEYWIRE FOR REGIONAL YOUTH Sasha Mackay Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons), Creative Writing Production Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Keywords Australian Broadcasting Corporation Heywire new media narrative identity public service media regional Australia storytelling voice youth Storytelling and new media technologies: investigating the potential of the ABC’s Heywire for regional youth i Abstract This thesis takes a case study approach to examine the complexity of audience participation within the Australian public service media institution, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). New media technologies have both enabled and necessitated an increased focus on user created content and audience participation within the context of public service media (PSM) worldwide and such practices are now embedded within the remit of these institutions. Projects that engage audiences as content creators and as participants in the creation of their own stories are now prevalent within PSM; however, these projects represent spaces of struggle: a variety of institutional and personal agendas intersect in ways that can be fruitful though at other times produce profound challenges. This thesis contributes to the wider conversation on audience participation in the PSM context by examining the tensions that emerge at this intersection of agendas, and the challenges and potentials these produce for the institution as well as the individuals whose participation it invites. The case study for this research – Heywire – represents one of the first instances of content-related participation within the ABC.

  • 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.

    Talkback Radio ABC 774 Melbourne Drive - 05/10/2006 - 03:55 PM Lindy Burns Burns claims people with high blood pressure do not like going to the doctor because of fears of lectures over high readings. 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.

  • An Inquiry Into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria
    Watershed or Water Shared? An Inquiry into the Politics of Rural Water Allocations in Victoria Submitted in fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Barry Hancock May 2010 Well, you see Willard … In this war, things get confused out there - power, ideals, the old morality and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be good because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point – both you and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane (Apocalypse Now). ii Abstract This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State’s rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute.
