BY WILLIAM KELLY, ESQ., AUTHOR 09 M ACS0B8 THB ROCKY M0T7VTAIVS, GREAT SALT LAKB VALLEY, AMD GREAT SIERRA BBVADA," AMD M A STBOLL THROUGH THB DIGGIKGS 09 CALIFORNIA." IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, 193, PICCADILLY. 1859. PREFACE. I wrar to Port Phillip in the latter end of 1852 with the intention of making a rapid but observant tour of that colony, and giving the results to the public in the following year. But the glowing temptations to speculate, the rich visions of yellow nuggets, contrasted so alluringly with the stunted rewards of literary labour, that I soon abandoned the aspiration of flourishing on paper for the expectation of figuring more profitably in trading, land jobbing, or digging pursuits. I have endeavoured to narrate faithfully the chequered vicissitudes of my various avocations, because they tend in a great measure to illustrate the unprecedented progress of the colony in its social, political, commercial, and mining phases; and though many of the details may be devoid of that stirring interest suited to the desultory reader, I trust they are so far imbued with truthful information as to redeem them from any general verdict of condemnation. Interest, it may be said, is a condiment capable of being manufactured specially to flavour literary ragouts; but as such an article only amalgamates genially with apocryphal information, I preferred telling my story without any such seasoning, rather than have the authenticity of the scattered crumbs of intelli­ gence it contains called in question. VI PBEFACE. I had the good fortune* during my homeward voyage of numbering amongst my fellow-passengers several expe­ rienced gentlemen, whose knowledge of commercial and dig­ ging matters enabled me to fill up many skeleton sketches, to prune down occasional exuberances, and to enumerate dogmatically certain opinions concerning the auriferous re­ sources of the colony, which I would not otherwise have ventured to whisper, clashing as they do with the grave pronunciations of a scientific commission. Some of my sketches may appear overdrawn to the home reader, as popular illustrations of Petticoat-lane scenes do to the antipodean denizens of Belgravia. But I can appeal to any candid dweller in Victoria, during the periods about which I write, if there is a tint or trait too highly coloured, or too broadly elaborated. To the colonial reader I will only make this prefatory observation. If at times he finds it difficult to detect the outlines of my pictures through the dull haze of description, he must at once refer it to my want of graphic power, and call to mind the plaintive avowal of a poetic prototype, who once upon a time sang in deprecation of cavil— I give thee all, I can no more, Though poor the offering be. In conclusion, I have to remark that long ere these volumes are encased in their covers, I shall be far away on my voyage towards the most modern of gold-fields—British Columbia—to face another campaign of houseless wander­ ings, through savage tribes and sterile wildernesses, and I therefore trust both critics and readers will extend to me a modicum of that proverbial immunity usually awarded to departed friends—an anticipative type of which charitable principle was formerly practised even by the Colonial Office, in supplementing the outfits of Sierra Leone officials, by PEEFACE. vii granting them liberal allowances towards their funeral ex­ penses. Besides, I must mention in confidence that I write "a shocking bad" hand, and I fear much that the gentle­ man who has kindly undertaken the task of correcting the proofs, will find it fraught with hieroglyphical difficulties alike beyond his anticipations and his capabilities. THE ATJTHOB. P.S.—I wish I could have launched my book under shelter of a respectful dedication, but as that solemn rite is never ventured on without a " kind permission," I must content myself by stating that, had I the authority, I would have enthroned as its patriarchal patron the Honourable John Pascoe Fawkner, M.L.C., who, " take him for all in all," is indubitably the foremost man in the colony of Victoria. It was his bold enterprise that first broke the long sleep of primeval nature in that favoured land, and beckoned thither Christian light as well as British energy, and he now enjoys the rare felicity of seeing the savage desert of 1835 invested with all the exalted functions of a nascent empire, beating throughout its remotest extremities with the strong, healthy pulse of civilisation, attracting commerce and settlers from every quarter of the globe, and feeding the mills and mints of the universe with her staple products. Mr, Fawkner found the site of Melbourne an aboriginal wilderness, and he will leave on it the queen city of the southern hemisphere. CONTENTS 02 VOL. I. CHAPTER I.

  • Survival and Postcolonialism in Timothy Findley's Not Wanted On
    Survival and Postcolonialism in Timothy Findley’s Not Wanted on the Voyage Riikka Antikainen University of Tampere School of Language, Translation and Literary Studies English Philology Pro Gradu Thesis May 2013 Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli-, käännös- ja kirjallisuustieteiden yksikkö ANTIKAINEN, RIIKKA: Survival and Postcolonialism in Timothy Findley’s Not Wanted on the Voyage Pro Gradu -tutkielma, 68 sivua Toukokuu 2013 Tarkastelen tutkimuksessani postkolonialismia ja selviytymistä Timothy Findleyn romaanissa Not Wanted on the Voyage (1984). Kyseistä romaania on tutkittu verraten vähän, vaikka eri tutkijat ovat päätyneet mitä erilaisimpiin tulkintoihin sen merkityksistä. Itse käsittelen sitä kanadalaisena, postkolonialistisena romaanina, jonka tärkeimmäksi teemaksi nousee selviytyminen. Lähtökohta tälle tulkinnalle on Margaret Atwoodin kirja Survival , josta on mahdollista löytää paljon yhtymiskohtia Findleyn romaaniin ja jonka sidon postkolonialistiseen käsitykseen itsestä ja toisesta. Keskeisimmät tutkimuskysymykseni ovat miksi selviytyä, miten selviytyä ja mitä tapahtuu selviytymisen jälkeen. Näiden kysymysten pohjalta pohdin tarinaa myös kolonialistisen ja postkolonialistisen ajan allegoriana. Keskityn tutkimuksessani ensin henkilöihin ja olosuhteisiin, jotka luovat uhreja ja pakottavat selviytymään, minkä jälkeen käsittelen yksittäisiä hahmoja erilaisina uhreina. Lopuksi pohdin selviytymistä ajan ja maailman, tai yhteiskunnan, kannalta pyrkien sitomaan Findleyn romaanin laajempaan, postkolonialistiseen viitekehykseen.

  • An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature
    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.

  • Romantisk Punk-Kynisme Udforsker Alle Afkroge Af Livet Og Kærligheden
    2016-12-05 11:00 CET Romantisk punk-kynisme udforsker alle afkroge af livet og kærligheden Beatbox Entertainment & VEGA Præsenterer Romantisk punk-kynisme udforsker alle afkroge af livet og kærligheden Det engelske horror punk band Creeper udgiver deres længeventede debutalbum i marts og gæster Lille VEGA til en aften med teatralsk horror-punk onsdag den 5. april 2017. Creeper har tidligere udgivet to anmelderroste ep’er i form af The Callous Heart fra 2015 og The Stranger fra 2016. 2016 har endvidere medført prisen for ”Best British Newcomer” ved Kerrang! Awards samt ”Best New Band” ved Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Snart er de klar med deres debutalbum Eternity, In Your Arms, som udkommer den 24. marts 2017. Efter at have imponeret fans i både hjem og udland med deres melankolske punk, er forventningerne tårnhøje til bandets næste udspil. Førstesinglen ”Suzanne” indfrier disse forventninger på fornem vis med en følelsesmæssig eruption af teatralsk teen-horror, tilsat adrenalinfremkaldende punk’n’roll. Bandet viser, at de mestrer at skabe musik på baggrund af forventninger, talent og tårnhøje ambitioner. Den tilhørende video består af bandet, der spiller på livet løs i lilla lys, afbrudt af klip fra hjemmeoptagelser, der kryber én langt ned ad ryggen, når en mystisk skikkelse kommer til syne i baggrunden. Der er noget mørkt over den romantiske sang, hvilket er lige præcis i Creepers ånd. Orkestreret sceneshow i et smukt univers I Creepers univers består hovedrollerne af en gruppe unge, der kalder sig selv for ”The Callous Heart”. På scenen agerer Creeper-medlemmerne som denne gruppe unge, der, i sangen ”The Secret Society” fra ep’en The Stranger, siger om sig selv: ”We don’t love or hate.

ABSTRACT Directed by the Millennium Development Goal to improve the lives of at least 100 million ‘slum’ dwellers by 2020, national governments and development agencies are driving policy to upgrade and formalise informal settlements. This study is an investigation into the effects of in situ upgrade and formalisation on the vulnerability and resilience of the urban poor in Durban, South Africa. The study examines the relationships between tenure and vulnerability by identifying and exploring how changes to tenure security, introduced through the upgrade process, affect individuals’ exposure to risk and ability to cope, and the ways in which identity and social relations influence those effects. The data are drawn from twenty-four ethnographies of residents living in three low income settlements in/around Durban each at different stages in the upgrade process.

    VETO VIII: 15 July 2006 Questions by Zarya Cynader (University of British Columbia) TOSSUPS 1. It has been published annually since 1986, and is probably the world’s best-known indicator of purchasing-power parity. In 2004, an analogue involving the tall latte was developed, a nod to Starbucks Coffee as its ubiquity approaches that of the namesake product. For ten points, identify this index pub- lished by The Economist, ”arguably the world's most accurate financial indicator to be based on a fast- food item.” ANSWER: Big Mac Index 2. Richard Feynman said that “all good theoretical physicists put [it] up on their wall and worry about it”. Several equations have been proposed to relate it to other unitless constants such as e and pi, but none of these gives an accurate value, nor has any sound theoretical support been provided. Arthur Eddington once claimed that it was exactly 1/136, and then revised his so-called proof when it was measured to be closer to 1/137. For ten points, identify the constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic force, signified by the letter alpha. ANSWER: (Sommerfeld) fine-structure constant (PROMPT on "alpha" before mentioned) 3. Andrew Hamilton Gault put up $100,000 to finance its formation, which officially took place on August 10th, 1914. Nine days later it was fully manned. Its members won two Victoria Crosses at Passchendaele and another at Parvillers, and participated in the Sicilian campaign in World War II. More recently, Opera- tion Apollo saw 700 members of its third battalion deployed to Afghanistan.
