Garry E. Hall as commander of Combined Task Force (CTF) 158 during a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Bahrain Sept. 27. Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt. -
'Ugly Sydney' Or an Enhancement of the Greatest Rail
Australian Folklore 21, 2006 157 The Fate of Eveleigh: More of ‘Ugly Sydney’ or an Enhancement of the Greatest Rail Heritage Site in the World? Brian Dunnett and Robert J. Haworth Lovers of heritage and of a human-scale city alike are alarmed at the latest proposal for the old Eveleigh Railway Workshops site that covers many hectares of inner Sydney.1 The New South Wales Government Planning Minister Frank Sartor has recently excised the area from heritage protection legislation in order to allow maximum possible development of the site for high-rise apartment blocks.2 Of particular concern is the current threat3 to close the still functioning Large Erecting Shed and transform it into either a completely new 12 storey office tower or an ‘adaptive re-use’ four storey block. Unfortunately, the concerns of community groups, even if they represent a majority of citizens, mean little to contemporary Governments, especially at the State level. This is particularly true of the New South Wales Government, which is in the perverse position, after 15 years of uninterrupted economic boom, of being squeezed between accelerated development brought on by the boom and declining tax revenue4 exacerbated by the increasingly unequal power distribution between the States and Canberra. Developer Section 94 contributions allowed for under the NSW EPA Act5 go to Local Government, thus giving the State Minister an incentive to excise choice areas and over- develop them as a means of much-needed revenue raising from special developers’ contributions which go direct to the State Government.

Department of Canrnurrity and Regional Planning The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada na. April 26, 1988 DE-6 (2/88) i i ABSTRACT This study proposes a strategy which will assist governments, the sponsors of hallmark events, and community groups to identify and plan for the negative housing impacts of such events. Hallmark events are major one-time or recurring : events of limited duration, developed primarily to enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of a tourist destination in the short and/or long term. World's Fairs and Olympic Games are two examples of hallmark events. The 1986 World's Fair (Expo 86) in Vancouver provided an opportunity to document the impacts of this hallmark event on the residents of a community which borders the fair site and on the planning practices of the local government. -

The Sovereign Guide to Collecting Gold Sovereigns
THE SOVEREIGN EXPERT GUIDE TO COLLECTING GOLD SOVEREIGNS Managing Consultant Alex Hanrahan shares his guide to collecting Gold Sovereigns Alex Hanrahan Managing Consultant ore CPM clients choose to build a collection Mof Gold Sovereigns than any other coin available to date. But with two centuries of Gold Sovereigns to choose from, how do you create a meaningful collection worthy of passing on to your children and grandchildren? Reverse side of Obverse side of 1817 Sovereign 2017 Sovereign Let’s start with the question of “Why collect Gold Sovereigns?” CPM, PO Box 7776, Poole, BH12 9HR 1 Why Collect Gold Sovereigns? uite simply the Gold Sovereign is without rival as the United QKingdom’s premiere Gold Coin. Struck from 22 Carat Gold to the exact same specification since 1817, it epitomises all that is British. Traded across the world during the 19th Century and early 20th Century, it became known as “The Chief Coin of the World”, whilst today’s modern Proof Sovereigns show consistent collector interest and regular sell-outs. What’s more the Gold Sovereign remains both popular and accessible, with many options to create meaningful collections at affordable prices, even going right back to George III’s reign. " So how do I ensure I create a meaningful Gold Sovereign collection?" The key is to select an element that ties together the Gold Sovereigns in your collection to create a historically meaningful collection. Here are my top 5 recommendations for building a Gold Sovereign collection. To give you some sense of affordability and ease of completion, I have rated each out of 5 stars. -
Gold and Greater Britain: Jevons, Trollope, and Settler Colonialism
Gold and Greater Britain: Jevons, Trollope, and Settler Colonialism PHILIP STEER espite the current reframing of Victorian studies in transna- tional or global terms, the writing that emerged out of the Dborderless world of Britain and its settler colonies has yet to receive significant attention. When it is discussed, the settler colony is typically cast as the endpoint in a one-way flow of cultural “portabil- ity,” in which metropolitan forms are deployed to affirm British val- ues and to “disavow” the cultural and historical specificities of local conditions (Plotz 48).1 In contrast, imperial historiography has seen an energetic renewal of interest in the distinctive social, economic, and political linkages that bound what is variously called the “Britannic” world-system (Darwin 145), “British World” (Bridge and Fedorowich 3; Magee and Thompson xii), or “Anglo-World” (Belich 49). This body of work stresses that the rhetoric of racial and cultural commonality was integral to the development of the settler empire’s material net- works and underpinned a view of settlement as qualitatively different from other forms of imperialism.2 “Transfers of things, thoughts, and ABSTRACT: The Australian gold rushes of the 1850s provide an exemplary test case for exploring the impact of Greater Britain—the settler colonial empire—on the Victorian novel and political economy. British gold diggers’ nomadism operated in seeming antithesis to the colonies’ explosive growth, which posed a conceptual challenge both to political economy’s stadial model of societal development and to liberal narratives of labor and land—narratives that underpinned concepts of individual character and civil society. -
Victorian Co-Operative Housing Societies
VICTORIAN CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES ANNUAL REPORT 1985. VICtORIA CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES Report of the REGISTRAR for the Year ended 30 June 1985 Ordered by the Legislative Assembly to be printed MELBOURNE F D ATKINSON GOVERNMENT PRINTER 1986 No. 76 VICfORIA CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETIES Fortieth Annual Report on the Registrar Financial year ended 30 June 1985 The Honourable the Minister of Housing This report, which is submitted pursuant to section 71 of the Co-operative Housing Societies Act 1958 (No. 6226), covers the financial year ended 30 June 1985. A brief statistical summary of some of the operations of co-operative housing societies, to the close of the year under review, is presented in a supplement to this report. The summary is necessarily brief as staff and time constraints have considerably reduced the volume of statistical information collected and details gleaned from various Australian Bureau of Statistics Bulletins are unavailable at the time of preparation of the report. REGISfRAR'S STATEMENT The year to June, 1985, was again one of great change for financial institutions and co-operative housing societies took part in these developments. The deregulation of the banking sector continued with the Federal Treasurer announcing that 16 major foreign financial institutions had been invited to make application for licences to operate banks in Australia. It was quite clear that, although not all had commenced operations, the spectre they raised was having a marked effect on the existing banks as they positioned themselves to prepare for the new entrants. This was best seen in extensive advertising campaigns, the aggressive search for funds and other measures to raise their corporate profile and operations. -
