Box 733, Hamilton, Victoria Email: [email protected] www.bowtech.com The Original Bowen Technique Page Page Attendees at the NZBTI Conference with Lady Janine Mateparae at Government House Wellington New Zealand The NZBTI Conference, “THE POWER OF US” GOVERNMENT HOUSE, WELLINGTON NEW ZEALAND 2014 Beyond the gate, through the gardens, up the hill, around the corner, we arrive to celebrate the gift of Bowen which settles lightly on our shoulders as we are identified and given permission to enter Government House, Wellington on a fine Saturday morning in September. It’s a privilege to belong to NZ Bowen and to celebrate this wonderful technique in Wellington, my home city. The room is set up with simplicity and ceremony. We are welcomed with an address by our patron, Lady Janine Mateparae who, as a professional Bowtech practitioner, then joins us to listen to the inspiring array of speakers invited to share their knowledge at the NZ Bowen conference. Several liberating impressions featured during the course of the day. Results are being reported on sports injuries and our credibility is growing into the mainstream. Ossie expressed his gratitude for our continuing Bowen successes. Both he and Elaine spoke of their 40 years of Bowen and beyond. at Government House Wellington New Zealand at Government House Wellington We concluded Tom Bowen’s best move was to choose Ossie to teach his technique!! Attendees at the NZBTI Conference with Lady Janine Mateparae Attendees at the NZBTI Conference Marion Wood of Commonsense Organics, shared with us the effort that goes into keeping this food and product business natural in this modern ‘chemical world’. She is doing all she can to research every item (even checking packaging), for hidden components that challenge the natural balance she and her customers aim to support. Ali Goward declared “never say never to Bowen”. With kindness, understanding and strong leadership we can treat all conditions, keeping an open heart, forgetting ourselves while thinking love until gently and minimally our technique will be enhanced with the power connecting each one of us resulting in calm, strong, confident practitioners. New Zealand Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae with Ossie, Elaine and Lady Janine Mateparae, patron of NZBTI Page Page Mark Palmer enthused about travelling to the trade shows around the country offering fifteen minute Bowen treatments to spread the word and showcase the work. We can all become more available to people by investing in marketing our therapy together in a professional way at these Body, Mind and Spirit shows and fairs. Lynley Moroney from the Equus College reminded us how Bowen work treats our animals worldwide and how we form a complete circle by connecting people, animals and therapists. We learned through Transcendental Meditation how Bowtech enables our minds to naturally turn inward to that place of deep rest where healing can happen and the brain can rebuild pathways from brain stem to the frontal lobe to recover from stress. This reminded us of the importance of the Bowen two minute waits, giving a better understanding of how the body Ruve Parker and Peter Short, transitions from ‘Fight, Flight and previous Presidents of RONZI, Freeze’, to ‘Rest, Relax and Repair’ . attended the conference Between speakers there was the opportunity to meet some of the many hands of Bowen and learn even more. Peter Short, one of our life members, informed me that Bowen can be given in all and any circumstances, it does no harm. Wandering along the great hallway and exploring the serenity of the beautifully maintained rooms of Government House was another highlight, but the lunch buffet served in a gracious white tiled conservatory was a delicious hour to remember in a day that will never be forgotten.

The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

  • Teaching Procedure and the Legal Academy
    A Community of Procedure Scholars: Teaching Procedure and the Legal Academy Abstract This article asks whether the way in which procedure is taught has an impact on the extent and accomplishments of a scholarly community of proceduralists. Not surprisingly, we find a trs ong correlation between the placement of procedure as a required course in an academic context and the resulting body of scholars and scholarship. Those countries in which more civil procedure is taught as part of a university degree—and in which procedure is recognized as a legitimate academic subject—have larger scholarly communities, a larger and broader corpus of works analyzing procedural issues, and a richer web of institutional support systems that inspire, fund, and shape the study of public justice.

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.
