The course offers a significantly higher number of hours of tuition than other courses in Japanese and includes intensive Summer Sessions and resi­ dence and study in Japan. It also includes Computer-Assisted Language Learning to supplement and reinforce the class work. The Department of Modern Lan­ guages received support from the Commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition, which enabled Japanese language students try out the facilities with Mr Yoshihama, Japanese language the installation of a 20-place computer lecturer sponsored by Kawasaki City laboratory that puts the University on its way to becoming a leading univer­ sity in computer-assisted language learning.

  • Convicts & Cthulhu Player's Edition
    The Ballad of Jim Jones at Botany Bay Come gather round and listen lads, and hear me tell m’ tale, How across the sea from England I was condemned to sail. The jury found me guilty, and then says the judge, says he, Oh for life, Jim Jones, I’m sending you across the stormy sea. But take a tip before you ship to join the iron gang, Don’t get too gay in Botany Bay, or else you’ll surely hang. Or else you’ll surely hang, he says, and after that, Jim Jones, Way up high upon yon gallows tree, the crows will pick your bones. Our ship was high upon the seas when pirates came along, But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong; They opened fire and so they drove that pirate ship away But I’d rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay. With the storms a-raging round us, and the winds a-blowing gales I’d rather drowned in misery than gone to New South Wales. There’s no time for mischief there, remember that, they say Oh they’ll flog the poaching out of you down there in Botany Bay. Day and night in irons clad we like poor galley slaves Will toil and toil our lives away to fill dishonoured graves; But by and by I’ll slip m’ chains and to the bush I’ll go And I’ll join the brave bushrangers there, Jack Donahue and Co. And some dark night all is right and quiet in the town, I’ll get the bastards one and all, I’ll gun the floggers down.

The cheerful sun from thee is barr’d Thy only solace is a tear Thy prison-seat, a cold, damp stone Thy dwelling-place, a murky cave Give me, kind fate, a better home. That place of rest- a silent grave.1 For Mary Rose and other female prisoners held in Britain’s late eighteenth-century gaols (jails), death may have seemed preferable to the overcrowded prison ships to which they were confined.

  • Tony Robinson Explores Australia Is a Documentary Series
    A STUDY GUIDE BY KATY MARRINER & FIONA EDWARDS http://www.metromagazine.com.au ISBN-13-978-1-74295-058-7 http://www.theeducationshop.com.au A STUDY GUIDE OVERVIEW Tony Robinson, who has previously presented Time Team and Ned Kelly Uncovered, embarks on a case study of Australia’s past, from the earliest explorers to white settlement, Indigenous Australians, multiculturalism and Australia’s role in two world wars. Filmed on location around the country in November and December 2010, in this exciting and fast-paced six-part series Robinson is joined on his mammoth journey by some of Australia’s foremost historians and writers, including Tim Flannery, Thomas Keneally and Eric Wilmott. From the search to identify the ‘great southern land’, through colonial trials and tribulations and right up to the establishment of the dynamic modern Australia, Tony Robinson covers a huge amount of ground as he reveals the key events and major influences that define Australia – and Australians – today.

Signed: Statement of Authority to Access This thesis may be made available for loan. Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying and communication is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 Signed: Abstract Based on the heritage sites that form part of Australia’s convict legacy, focusing mainly within Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania), this project explores ways in which the economic, social and cultural context of the transportation experience can be communicated to the 21st century visitors to the various sites. The importance of art in mediating site in the service of history will be demonstrated through the conception and curation of a major installation work inviting international participation. Behind the practice-led investigation lies research into possible interpretative and art installation strategies for specific sites: some of the strategies have been initiated in the course of this project, while others remain as suggestions for consideration in future contexts All aspects of the project retain a focus on demonstrating the importance of art as a significant tool to bring attention to history.

How did it grow? National Census During the 18th and 19th centuries, the population of Britain increased dramatically. From 1801, the government began to take a census (count) of the number of people living in Britain every 10 years. This gives us accurate figures for the population increase and we know that by 1900, there were more than six times as many people living in Britain as there had been in 1750.
