Recreation, Music and Duty of Care: Fariss v Axford
No full textIt is well-established that a duty of care may be owed in a recreational setting. The case of 'Farriss v Axford' involved a plaintiff, Tim Farriss, who injured his hand while endeavouring to secure an anchor on a boat he had chartered from the defendant, John Axford. The first issue was what actually caused the injury, and whether there had been a breach of a duty of care. However, as the plaintiff was a founding member of well-known Australian band, INXS, the case also involved the issue of what economic damages, if any, should be awarded, taking into consideration the fact that the injury Farriss suffered prevented him from playing the guitar and therefore plying his trade

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Just What the Doctor Ordered: Reformation of the U.S. Healthcare System Through a Dose of Preventive and Primary Care
No full textHealthcare in the United States (US) is a two trillion dollar market, approximately the size of China\u27s gross national product (GNP) (Herzlinger, 2007, p. 1). Although the United States spends at least 40% more on healthcare than any other country in the world (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2004, 51), the World Health Organization (WHO) ranked the United States healthcare system 37th of 191 countries (World Health Organization [WHO], 2000, Annex Table 1). The United States leads the world in technology and innovation, and since 1975 has won more Nobel Prizes in healthcare than all other nations combined (Gratzer, 2005, p. 124). Nonetheless, more than 47 million Americans1 remain uninsured with no access to regular healthcare services (US Census Bureau, 2007). Billions of dollars are spent each year and new medical technology abounds. However, healthcare in the United States still remains problematic, demanding immediate attention, because the US continues to hold on to an antithetical idea of what healthcare should be. There is no doubt that that quality healthcare can be obtained in the United States; however, the paradigm under which healthcare is delivered and the beliefs about health in this country have created widespread problems throughout the healthcare system
Author-reader relationship at the site of the work
No full textWithin the format of a critical exegesis and four original works of extended prose fiction, this thesis explores the interaction between the author and reader and argues that literary meaning is the outcome of shifts of power between these two entities. It concludes that because these shifts in power are orchestrated by the author, the author is relevant to understanding how meaning is produced
