Be- tween the vessel’s outstanding fuel efficiency, as well as use of robotic technologies managed from afar, it is anticipated the ship will curtail the overall environmental impact of vessels used for scientific research. Further, over its 25-year working life, it is predicted the new polar research vessel will generate a savings of more than £100 million in operat- ing costs. Reliability for Remote Regions Due to its hostile environment, isolated location and vast inaccessibility, the Southern Ocean has the least amount of available data reports compared to other primary oceans. With the RRS Sir David Attenborough’s intended voyages there, it will be able to fill in some data gaps—but there can be no compromise on the reliability and safety of the ship. Saft’s high-power batteries are specially designed for ap- plications in which it is not easy to escape your transporta- tion vehicle. Thus, Rolls-Royce entrusted Saft to design and manufacture the battery systems to accompany its hybrid propulsion systems.

I hope you enjoy reading about some of the many opportunities the girls have em- braced so far this term. It is virtually impossible to New junior school council select any favourites, but a real highlight in the Sen- ior School was welcoming Deana Puccio form The Rap Project UK to BHSA. Her presentations to all girls from Years 7 to 13 were both powerful and in- spiring, delivering an important message to every single one of us. The girls are still talking about her visit. This was made possible through funding from the GDST and we are very proud to be part of this movement in girls’ education. The highlights in the Junior School are too many to mention, but the new art work and displays throughout the Juniors show the wonderful end products from the numerous col- laborative, creative workshops this term. As always, the girls never cease to amaze me with their confi- dence, talents and determination. This was seen in abundance at our recent Open Events and there were many proud moments on receiving the glow- ing feedback about our girls from the record num- bers of visitors. I hope you enjoy a relaxing half term break and I look forward to welcoming the girls back on the 4th November. Thank you for your continued support. Rebecca Mahony Sophie the T-Rex came to visit!

    Government and Opposition (2021), 56, 615–639 doi:10.1017/gov.2020.4 . ARTICLE Unravelling the New Plebiscitary Democracy: Towards a Research Agenda Frank Hendriks* https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms Tilburg University, Department of Public Law and Governance, Tilburg, the Netherlands *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] (Received 2 August 2019; revised 25 November 2019; accepted 17 January 2020; first published online 20 March 2020) Abstract Pushed by technological, cultural and related political drivers, a ‘new plebiscitary democ- racy’ is emerging which challenges established electoral democracy as well as variants of deliberative democracy. The new plebiscitary democracy reinvents and radicalizes longer-existing methods (initiative, referendum, recall, primary, petition, poll) with new tools and applications (mostly digital). It comes with a comparatively thin conceptualiza- tion of democracy, invoking the bare notion of a demos whose aggregated will is to steer actors and issues in public governance in a straight majoritarian way. In addition to unrav- , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at elling the reinvented logic of plebiscitary democracy in conceptual terms, this article fleshes out an empirically informed matrix of emerging formats, distinguishing between votations that are ‘political-leader’ and ‘public-issue’ oriented on the one hand, and ‘inside-out’ and ‘outside-in’ initiated on the other hand. Relatedly, it proposes an agenda for systematic research into the various guises, drivers and implications of the new plebis- citary democracy. Finally, it reflects on possible objections to the argumentation. 28 Sep 2021 at 17:33:14 , on Keywords: new plebiscitary democracy; democratic transformation; electronic voting; digital democracy; populism Vox populi redux 170.106.35.229 In May 2018, the Spanish left-wing political party Podemos organized a digital party referendum, as they called it, on its leadership.

    MEDIA RELEASE 26 November 2015 Peter Gash to attend The GBR Special Screening with Sir David Attenborough Managing Director of Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, Peter Gash, was delighted to receive an invitation to the special screening of Sir David Attenborough’s landmark series ‘The Great Barrier Reef’ being held in London next week. “It was a very unexpected pleasure and a great honour to receive an invitation to attend the special screening of the Great Barrier Reef documentary in London so how could I say no? Sir David Attenborough is a world renowned naturalist and documentary maker and I would love the opportunity to meet with Sir David and have a chat to him about the Great Barrier Reef. I know that he fell in love with Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef when he first visited many years ago, just like I did, so I’m glad that he was able to come back to do a documentary showcasing this incredible eco-system.” “As the current leaseholder and custodian of Lady Elliot Island, I am very excited to be going to London as an ambassador of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. As a pilot, I have also had the privilege of visiting many parts of the Great Barrier Reef over the past 25 years and I must say that it never ceases to amaze me. I can’t wait for the rest of the world to be able to see the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef through Sir David Attenborough’s eyes,” said Mr Gash. Lady Elliot is a true coral cay located on the southern tip of Australia’s World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef, 80kms north-east of Bundaberg, just north of Fraser Island.

  • Ctenosaura Defensor (Cope, 1866)
    Ctenosaura defensor (Cope, 1866). The Yucatecan Spiny-tailed Iguana, a regional endemic in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, is distributed in the Tabascan Plains and Marshes, Karstic Hills and Plains of Campeche, and Yucatecan Karstic Plains regions in the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán (Lee, 1996; Calderón-Mandujano and Mora-Tembre, 2004), at elevations from near “sea level to 100 m” (Köhler, 2008). In the original description by Cope (1866), the type locality was given as “Yucatán,” but Smith and Taylor (1950: 352) restricted it to “Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico.” This lizard has been reported to live on trees with hollow limbs, into which they retreat when approached (Lee, 1996), and individuals also can be found in holes in limestone rocks (Köhler, 2002). Lee (1996: 204) indicated that this species lives “mainly in the xeric thorn forests of the northwestern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula, although they are also found in the tropical evergreen forests of northern Campeche.” This colorful individual was found in low thorn forest 5 km N of Sinanché, in the municipality of Sinanché, in northern coastal Yucatán. Wilson et al. (2013a) determined its EVS as 15, placing it in the lower portion of the high vulnerability category. Its conservation status has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and as endangered (P) by SEMARNAT. ' © Javier A.

  • David Attenborough
    David Attenborough Sir David Attenborough is a famous British wildlife film-maker. His TV shows have helped people learn lots about animals and their environments for over 60 years! His Early Life Attenborough loved to collect fossils and stones when he was a little boy. He studied zoology at university so he could learn all about animals and their habitats. “David Attenborough at Great Barrier Reef” by Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is licensed Television under CC BY 2.0 In 1952, many people did not have a TV but Attenborough got a job at the BBC. He started to make TV shows about animals. The first TV show was called ‘Animal Patterns’. He talked about the colours and patterns of many amazing animals. In 1979, Attenborough made a show called ‘Life on Earth’. It was very popular. Since then, he has written and presented many more shows. Lately, he made ‘Blue Planet 2’ which showed people how awful plastic pollution is for our world. “Title of Image Used” by Author is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Page 1 of 3 visit twinkl.com David Atteborough Interesting Facts Date of Birth: 8th May 1926 Home: London, England Career: • He joined the BBC in 1952. • He became Sir David Attenborough in 1985.
