After consulting registered competitors, the Panel has added a 7th round on 27/6/15 at WSID in Sydney. The discipline of Rallysprinting is considered strategically important by the Rally Panel, as it is our number one gateway event for new competitors. The State championship is back. The panel has devoted much energy and resources into this area, and the 2015 championship is showing great signs. Bega has returned for 2015, as well as a new event in Glen Innes, which saw 51 entries on 28/3/15. The panel is aware of another landmark state championship event which will most likely return for 2016, and are very excited by that. We look forward to releasing the 2016 calendar later in the year. The DRS in 2015 has been split into 2, which allows for 4WD turbo cars. Whilst numbers in the DRS4 component are up, the participation in the 2WD sections is lower than last year at this stage. Number in Hyundai series are also down, but we are aware of at least 3 crews who are planning on contesting the later rounds.

  • Investigation Into the the Accident of Richard Hammond
    Investigation into the accident of Richard Hammond Accident involving RICHARD HAMMOND (RH) On 20 SEPTEMBER 2006 At Elvington Airfield, Halifax Way, Elvington YO41 4AU SUMMARY 1. The BBC Top Gear programme production team had arranged for Richard Hammond (RH) to drive Primetime Land Speed Engineering’s Vampire jet car at Elvington Airfield, near York, on Wednesday 20th September 2006. Vampire, driven by Colin Fallows (CF), was the current holder of the Outright British Land Speed record at 300.3 mph. 2. Runs were to be carried out in only one direction along a pre-set course on the Elvington runway. Vampire’s speed was to be recorded using GPS satellite telemetry. The intention was to record the maximum speed, not to measure an average speed over a measured course, and for RH to describe how it felt. 3. During the Wednesday morning RH was instructed how to drive Vampire by Primetime’s principals, Mark Newby (MN) and CF. Starting at about 1 p.m., he completed a series of 6 runs with increasing jet power and at increasing speed. The jet afterburner was used on runs 4 to 6, but runs 4 and 5 were intentionally aborted early. 4. The 6th run took place at just before 5 p.m. and a maximum speed of 314 mph was achieved. This speed was not disclosed to RH. 5. Although the shoot was scheduled to end at 5 p.m., it was decided to apply for an extension to 5:30 p.m. to allow for one final run to secure more TV footage of Vampire running with the after burner lit.

  • Using Augmented Reality and Alternate Reality Games in the Context of Universal Design for Learning
    education sciences Article “Helping Nemo!”—Using Augmented Reality and Alternate Reality Games in the Context of Universal Design for Learning Nayia Stylianidou 1,*, Angelos Sofianidis 2,*, Elpiniki Manoli 3 and Maria Meletiou-Mavrotheris 1 1 Department of Education Sciences, European University Cyprus, 2404 Nicosia, Cyprus; [email protected] 2 Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece 3 Cyprus Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport and Youth, 1434 Nicosia, Cyprus; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (N.S.); asofi[email protected] (A.S.) Received: 29 February 2020; Accepted: 30 March 2020; Published: 2 April 2020 Abstract: This article reports on the main experiences gained from a teaching intervention which utilised the alternate reality game ‘Helping Nemo’ in an augmented reality environment for formative assessment. The purpose of the study was to explore the ways in which the affordances arising from the combination of alternate reality games and augmented reality, situated in the context of Universal Design for Learning, might facilitate students’ learning amongst the aspects of engagement, participation, and response to students’ variability. The study took place in a public primary school located in a rural area of Cyprus. A second-grade class consisting of 24 students aged 7–8 years old was selected to comprise the sample. A qualitative research approach was adopted. The data collection methods included classroom observations and focus groups with the students. Findings gained from the teaching intervention suggest that the creation of a multimodal environment that draws on the principles of Universal Design for Learning and combines the affordances of alternate reality games and augmented reality for formative assessment contributes towards higher levels of engagement and participation in learning of all students, including bilingual students, students with learning disabilities, and students who are currently disengaged.

As a show about cars and car culture it can be seen, and dismissed, as a gratuitous celebration of ‘combustion masculinity.’ However, its irony, humour and nostalgia combine to highlight that this way of being male lies in the past. Focusing on Top Gear series 13 (June-August 2009) it is argued that the essence of combustion masculinity lies not only in risk and competition but law. However, the show goes further. In its excessive performance of combustion masculinity it engages in gentle critique. In the post-industrial era where the motor vehicle’s cultural status is declining Top Gear is itself a vehicle allowing combustion masculinity to be overtaken by less risky, less violent and more lawful ways of being male. Keywords: automobility, law, Top Gear, masculinity, irony INTRODUCTION Scholarship on ‘automobility’ has been broad, defining automobility as not just machine-human interactions but the cultural and physical spaces constructed for and by automobiles.2 Within this context exploration of automobility has often considered gender.

  • The Invasion of Cyprus, 15 July-20 August 1974
    Kissinger and the Business of Government: The Invasion of Cyprus, 15 July-20 August 1974 WILLIAM MALLINSON AND VASSILIS FOUSKAS Abstract An extrapolation, analysis and evaluation of papers released by the British government, when juxtaposed with some of Henry Kissinger’s writings, and those of his apologists, betray considerable inconsistencies between fact and presentation of fact, underpinned by Kissinger’s procrastination and evasion tactics at the time of Turkey’s invasion and occupation of over one-third of Cyprus. Keywords: Kissinger, Britain, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, invasion Introduction If success is measured by ‘solving’ every problem, America’s Cyprus policy failed in restoring a unitary Cypriot state. But not every problem has a definitive solution […].1 In summer 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus twice, making two advances on the island (20 July and 14 August) while facing almost no organised military resistance from guarantor powers Britain and Greece. The causes of Turkey’s invasions and the complexities surrounding the Cyprus issue as a whole have been the subject of a myriad of accounts and we have no intention of discussing them here. Our agenda is quite different. We will be looking at the controversy surrounding Henry Kissinger’s rôle in the invasions, and the occupation – continuing to this day – of over one-third of Cyprus’s territory, a controversy that rages on as more sources become available. It has to be said that that there is, at least as yet, no ‘smoking gun’ to prove that Kissinger secretly colluded with Turkey and expressly and cynically misled Britain at the time, while misleading Greece’s junta officers to ensure the partition of Cyprus through a Turkish invasion.

Welcome to the London home of Mike Fisher, the founder of Studio Indigo and one of the most successful architect-decorators around. Built as artists’ studios in 1892, the building has had a chequered history and had stood empty for so long partly, according to Mike, ‘The key is ‘because no one could figure out always to get the what to do with it’.
