Audio Interview with Mr. C.J. Rayner Whiteley
No full textAudio - Mr. Whiteley recounts the story of delivering the message of the flood of 1904. He took seventeen hours by horse to travel from Perryvale to Edmonton. Billy Loutit took the same message by foot arriving in Edmonton about the same time. Mr. Whiteley discusses early settlers, farming, homesteading and businesses. He has many anecdotes about life and people living in Athabasca at the start of the twentieth century. He freighted for ten years with the Hudson's Bay Company and also discusses early farming prices and technology extensivelyInformative Interview of Mr. C.J.

The Actors' Perceptions and Expectations of their Roles in BIM-based Collaboration
No full textThe inter-organisational collaboration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the hottest topics in construction sector nowadays. The implementation of BIM is a complex inter-organisational process, and the sharing of information among numerous actors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds may affect the actors’ role perception and performance. This study offers insights into the BIM roles of various actors by analysing a BIM-based project carried out by an integrated partnership across many tiers. The analysis identified inconsistencies between the actors' perceptions and their partners’ expectations of their BIM roles. Inconsistencies in BIM roles were more related to soft rather than hard (domain- or technical) skills. Mismatches were found in the architect's role, as it was deemed necessary to be more domain- and BIM-related, contrary to their perceptions. Likewise, the suppliers' role called for an enhanced BIM orientation. The paper concludes with set of suggestions for increasing the joint responsibility and supporting the multi-actor collaboration.Design & Construction ManagementSustainable Housing Transformatio
Making the case for video game addiction: does it exist or not?
No full textVideo games are becoming increasingly popular as a leisure activity across different age groups and societies. Although research on video game effects has found a wide range of positive and negative effects associated to video game play, the present chapter will critically evaluate evidence supporting the potential addictive effects stemming from excessive video game play. This chapter aims to contribute to the debate on a controversial effect that affects a minority of gamers. This is particularly important and timely since video game addiction is currently being considered as a tentative disorder by different medical bodies such as the American Psychiatric Association and World Health Organization. The present chapter summarizes some of the key arguments supporting video game addiction as a potential psychiatric disorder by considering the following sources of scientific evidence: theoretical, empirical, and clinical evidence. Based on the evidence examined, it is concluded that while video game addiction remains controversial at best, preliminary evidence exists suggesting that video game addiction may be a feasible concept and a potential mental health disorder even though several limitations in the existing research have been found and that far more research into this issue is needed. The implications of these findings are further discussed within the chapter

Etymology. The specific epithet ‘ moretonensis ’ is derived from the geographical location of Moreton Bay that is formed in part by Stradbroke Island, where the type specimens were collected. Comments. Known from specimens collected in March and April on North Stradbroke Island, south-east Queensland. Anabarhynchus moretonensis sp. n. keys to A. albosetosus Lyneborg in couplet 24 in Lyneborg (2001) and can be separated from A. albosetosus which has a generally grey pubescent scutum with indistinct longitudinal vittae; frons width 3 x ocellus width (in the male); fore femur without pd macrosetae; inner gonocoxal process with a reduced flange on the sub-apical inner edge; and gonocoxal connection partly fused along the ventromedial plane. Anabarhynchus moretonensis sp. n. scutum has a pair of distinct grey vittae either side of a dark grey and brown medial stripe; frons width 3.3–3.8 × ocellus width (in the male) fore femur with 1 pd macroseta; inner gonocoxal process with a broad flange along inner edge, and gonocoxite not fused but weakly connected by thin sclerotised membrane along the ventromedial plane. Anabarhynchus moretonensis sp. n. appears to be most closely aligned to species to Lyneborg’s niveus speciesgroup.Published as part of Ferguson, David J., Lambkin, Christine L. & Yeates, David K., 2014, Eight new species of Australian stiletto flies in the genus Anabarhynchus Macquart (Diptera: Therevidae) from South East Queensland, pp. 553-582 in Zootaxa 3802 (4) on pages 572-575, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3802.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/25070
Strange Fellah! Review of Philip Butterss, An Unsentimental Bloke: The Life and Work of C.J. Dennis
No full textC.J. Dennis, author of The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke (1915), was once considered the unofficial poet laureate of Australia. Throughout his career he was erroneously conflated with his famous character 'the Bloke' in the public imagination. 'Many have imagined him as a sentimental bloke', argues Philip Butterss, 'an easygoing fellow with a naïve and slightly romantic view of the world'(1). Since three previous biographical works have the word 'sentimental' in the title, Butterss' decision to add the 'un' to 'sentimental' immediately signals his intention to examine the darker side of Dennis

The One, Two, Threes of Involuntary Bankruptcy: Creditor Numerosity in the Fifth Circuit
No full textIn The One, Two, Threes of Involuntary Bankruptcy: Creditor Numerosity in the Fifth Circuit, C.J. Baker examines how courts interpret and apply the creditor numerosity requirement under § 303(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. The article focuses on the Fifth Circuit’s approach to determining how many qualified creditors must join an involuntary petition, particularly when disputes arise over counting eligible and disqualified creditors. Baker analyzes conflicting judicial interpretations and highlights the practical implications of these inconsistencies for creditors and debtors alike. The author critiques the Fifth Circuit’s reasoning in light of broader statutory and policy considerations, emphasizing the tension between procedural safeguards and creditor remedies. Ultimately, the article advocates for a more uniform and predictable standard to ensure fairness and efficiency in involuntary bankruptcy cases
