This book is a collection of real life stories from Victorian Aboriginal community members who are experiencing their own journey or have a family/ friend who are experiencing their journey at end of life. This book would not have been possible without the tireless work of Cherie Waight, Senior Project Officer Palliative Care at VACCHO. On behalf of VACCHO and our Members I would like to acknowledge Cherie Waight’s passion and commitment to Aboriginal health and palliative care which has ensured the successful implementation of this book and largely the Victorian Aboriginal Palliative Care Program. Cherie has a strong connection to culture and spirituality and is a respected leader within the Victorian community. The Victorian Aboriginal Palliative Care Program began in 2005 after the Department of Health funded the project as a pilot for six months. After the initial funding period, VACCHO was able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Program and identify the need for continued recurrent funding.

  • 16 November 2018 Jill Gallagher AO Victorian Treaty
    16 November 2018 Jill Gallagher AO Victorian Treaty Advancement Commissioner 116 Cardigan Street Carlton VIC 3053 By email to: [email protected] Dear Jill Submission on the proposed Aboriginal Representative Body model As you know, the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations is the peak body representing the interests of Victorian Traditional Owners who have or are in the process of gaining recognition under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010 (Vic), or the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Vic). Traditional Owner corporations are the primary vehicle through which traditional groups and bodies (however described, be they nations, peoples or clans) have organised for the purpose of asserting and exercising traditional rights to country. We acknowledge that the proposal put forward by the Victorian Treaty Advancement Commission (Commission) envisions such corporations playing a substantial role in the Aboriginal Representative Body, and accordingly, we welcome this opportunity to respond to the proposed model. Please find enclosed our submission. As you can see, we generally support the proposal, and commend the Commission for its diligent work in its development. However, we also provide a number of recommendations which we believe may ultimately strengthen the model and the Treaty process in general. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our submission further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely Marcus Stewart Chief Executive Officer PO Box 431 North Melbourne VIC 3051 (03) 9321 5388 [email protected] www.fvtoc.com.au ABN: 40 164 514 121 Submission on the proposed Aboriginal Representative Body model Introduction This submission is a response to the proposed structure of the Aboriginal Representative Body (ARB), as developed by the Victorian Treaty Advancement Commission (Commission) and set out in the publication titled Treaty Statewide Gathering, dated 25 September 2018 (Proposal).

  • A Review of the Structural Architecture of Tellurium Oxycompounds
    Mineralogical Magazine, May 2016, Vol. 80(3), pp. 415–545 REVIEW OPEN ACCESS A review of the structural architecture of tellurium oxycompounds 1 2,* 3 A. G. CHRISTY ,S.J.MILLS AND A. R. KAMPF 1 Research School of Earth Sciences and Department of Applied Mathematics, Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2 Geosciences, Museum Victoria, GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia 3 Mineral Sciences Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA [Received 24 November 2015; Accepted 23 February 2016; Associate Editor: Mark Welch] ABSTRACT Relative to its extremely low abundance in the Earth’s crust, tellurium is the most mineralogically diverse chemical element, with over 160 mineral species known that contain essential Te, many of them with unique crystal structures. We review the crystal structures of 703 tellurium oxysalts for which good refinements exist, including 55 that are known to occur as minerals. The dataset is restricted to compounds where oxygen is the only ligand that is strongly bound to Te, but most of the Periodic Table is represented in the compounds that are reviewed. The dataset contains 375 structures that contain only Te4+ cations and 302 with only Te6+, with 26 of the compounds containing Te in both valence states. Te6+ was almost exclusively in rather regular octahedral coordination by oxygen ligands, with only two instances each of 4- and 5-coordination. Conversely, the lone-pair cation Te4+ displayed irregular coordination, with a broad range of coordination numbers and bond distances.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY THE FORD-FLEISCHER FILE OF MINERALOGICAL REFERENCES, 1978-1980 INCLUSIVE by Michael Fleischer and Constance M. Schafer Open-File Report 81-1174 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards 1981 The Ford-Fleischer File of Mineralogical References 1978-1980 Inclusive by Michael Fleischer and Constance M. Schafer In 1916, Prof. W.E. Ford of Yale University, having just published the third Appendix to Dana's System of Mineralogy, 6th Edition, began to plan for the 7th Edition. He decided to create a file, with a separate folder for each mineral (or for each mineral group) into which he would place a citation to any paper that seemed to contain data that should be considered in the revision of the 6th Edition. He maintained the file in duplicate, with one copy going to Harvard University, when it was agreed in the early 1930's that Palache, Berman, and Fronde! there would have the main burden of the revision. A number of assistants were hired for the project, including C.W. Wolfe and M.A. Peacock to gather crystallographic data at Harvard, and Michael Fleischer to collect and evaluate chemical data at Yale. After Prof. Ford's death in March 1939, the second set of his files came to the U.S. Geological Survey and the literature has been covered since then by Michael Fleischer. Copies are now at the U.S. Geological Survey at Reston, Va., Denver, Colo., and Menlo Park, Cal., and at the U.S.

From the Middle Jurassic cursorial hind limbs, appendicular pneumaticity and small onwards, Allosauroidea and Megalosauroidea comprised size, features acquired convergently in bird-line theropods. almost all large-bodied predators for 85 million years. Neovenatorids thus occupied a 14-fold adult size range Despite their enormous success, however, they are usually from 175 kg (Fukuiraptor) to approximately 2,500 kg considered absent from terminal Cretaceous ecosystems, (Chilantaisaurus).
