I must start by thanking and congratulating in this year's editorial team for the effort and hard work they hâve put| into this publication. They have worked well together, applying subtle pressure where necessary to ensure deadlines are met and the magazine maintains its high standards. The Resources Centre staff are simply incredibile in transforming sheets of paper into the glossy masterpiece you see before you. Dr Hosty as editor in chief remained alarmingly cairn throughout, unless of course articles disappeared, there was a lack of photos or the quality of English feil short of what one might expect. His leadership and organisation was the driving force behind the good shin Chronicle, but I cannot stress enough how much this production is a team effort. Now, if I could implore you to resist turning straight to the Sport moos section to try and find that amusing photo of Oliver Goodwin playing hockey in a skirt, I would like to say a few words about our great school.

  • Legislative Assembly
    2092 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 25 June 2003 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. NATIONAL PARKS AND WILDLIFE AMENDMENT (TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES) BILL Second Reading Debate resumed from 17 June. Mr RICHARDSON (The Hills) [10.00 a.m.]: I lead for the Opposition in this debate. The bill will allow telecommunications facilities, such as mobile phone towers, optic fibre cables and copper cables, to be installed in national parks. Naturally some members would be concerned at the potential implications of such a move. Until July 1997 the Commonwealth Telecommunications Act took precedence but community outrage at the inappropriate location of mobile phone towers led to the Howard Government changing the Act. Now facilities not classified as low impact, such as those in national parks, are subject to State law. It could not be said that a mobile phone tower located in a national park is a low impact usage. State law does not currently permit telecommunications facilities to be located in national parks, although section 153 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act allows powerlines and pipelines to be routed through national parks, with strict environmental controls. The Minister said in his second reading speech that the Act had not kept up with technology, and that the provisions for permitting the installation of new telecommunications facilities, such as mobile phones, predates the Act. However, in 1993 when the Coalition was in government and the honourable member for Gosford was the Minister for the Environment, there was huge controversy over the proposed installation of a sea-phone aerial on the top of Mount Imlay in Mount Imlay National Park near Eden.

  • Academic Forum 36 (2018–19)
    Academic Forum 36 (2018–19) Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Milwaukee Brewers, St Louis Cardinals, and Atlanta Braves Fred Worth, Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Milwaukee Brewers, St Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction In the past, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets, Chicago White Sox, Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees. Since I simply enjoy this kind of statistical amusement, I have done similar research and decided to publish three more this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball, and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed, and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. Atlanta Braves Franchise Name History In the 19th century, team names were not always as firmly established as they are now. The franchise that is now known as the Atlanta Braves started to play in the 1876 National League. They were based in Boston and were known as the Red Stockings according to most of my sources. But others call them the Red Caps. One simply calls them the Boston NL Team. In 1883, a different subset of my sources gave the name as the Boston Beaneaters.
