Clive Small on the real-life "Underbelly"
No full textOver the course of his career, Clive Small, one of NSW\u27s most successful detectives, saw it all. His book, "Smack Express: How organised crime got hooked on drugs" is an insight into drug trafficking and organised crime on Australia\u27s east coast. Written with journalist Tom Gilling, it features an extraordinary range of colourful characters and situations. Take "Aunty", the female drug lord who has been successfully importing kilos of cocaine into Australia for decades. Or the bloke who thought that throwing someone into the boot of a car and driving it to South Australia wasn\u27t kidnapping, because "he never asked to get out of the boot".
Clive Small is a former Assistant Commissioner of Police in NSW, and a former ICAC chief investigator. He resigned from ICAC in 2007 to pursue a defamation case against broadcaster Alan Jones. His investigations included the death of Griffith anti-drugs campaigner Donald McKay, the assassination of Cabramatta MP John Newman and the backpacker murders of Ivan Milat.
Tom Gilling is a former journalist and author. He has written a number of novels and co-authored "The Bagman: Final Confessions of Jack Herbert", about a corrupt Queensland policeman whose evidence in the 1980s Fitzgerald Inquiry had a huge impact on Queensland

Dating burial practices and architecture at Lepenski Vir
No full textPrevious attempts to establish a chronology for Lepenski Vir using three different methods (stratigraphy, radiometric 14C dating of bulk charcoal samples, and AMS 14C dating of human bone collagen) produced inconsistent results. Discrepancies between the human bone and charcoal ages were found to result from a reservoir effect in the bones of people who ate significant quantities of Danube fish. When a reservoir ‘correction’ is applied, the human bone 14C dates are consistent with the charcoal dates, and this raises questions about the excavator’s relative and absolute chronology based on stratigraphy and inter-site comparisons. Single-entity dating of surviving archaeological materials offers the best hope of constructing a reliable chronological framework for Lepenski Vir. This paper presents the results of a further programme of AMS 14C dating of human remains. Direct dating of 24 burials confirms that different burial practices characterized the Final Mesolithic and Early Neolithic. Previous attempts to assign burials to Mesolithic or Neolithic phases, based on stratigraphic observations, are shown to be broadly correct but not always accurate in detail. The evidence from radiocarbon dating and stratigraphy is used to calculate ‘minimum’ and/or ‘maximum’ ages for certain of the trapezoidal buildings, which suggest that this architectural form was in use during the Final Mesolithic and Early Neolithic. The implications of the human bone 14C dates and associated stable isotope measurements for the timing of the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition in the Iron Gates are also discussed
The Mesolithic–Neolithic transition in the Iron Gates, Southeast Europe:Calibration and dietary issues
No full textThis paper discusses an aquatic reservoir effect present in Mesolithic human bone samples from the Iron Gates section of the River Danube. Its magnitude has been calculated from a comparison of the 14C ages of human bones and terrestrial mammal bones from Schela Cladovei, equivalent to 545±70 years for a 100% aquatic diet. From this, using the δ15N value of human bone collagen to estimate the proportion of aquatic food in diet, a correction factor can be applied to the human bone 14C ages. Reservoir correction makes the resultant 14C age less precise but more accurate. The reservoir effect is derived from the inclusion of aquatic resources from the River Danube in the diets of the Mesolithic inhabitants. On the basis that the Black Sea became marine around 7400 cal BC, the possibility that part of the reservoir effect derives from anadromous fish species cannot be discounted. Human remains are abundant in the Iron Gates sites and therefore potentially important for construction of archaeological chronologies. Our ability to correct for the aquatic reservoir affect has important implications for establishing accurate chronologies, especially at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition, which was marked by a significant change in diet and subsistence
CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS’S FANTASTIC STORY
Full text linkRad predstavlja priču Lav, Vještica i ormar iz ciklusa Kronike iz Narnije britanskog pisca irskog podrijetla Clivea Staplesa Lewisa (1898.-1963.) s ciljem utvrđivanja osebujnosti Lewisove varijante fantastične priče. Polazi se od odabrane literature gdje se bez iznimke problematizira kršćanski podtekst, koji je Lewis uključio u sve priče narnijskoga ciklusa, te elementi više književnih vrsta pored fantastične priče, kao što su bajka, mit, priča o životinjama i romansa.The paper presents story The Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe from series Chronicles of Narnia, written by British author of the Irish origins Clive Staples Lewis (1898.-1963.) with the aim to establish the singuliarities of Lewis’s fantasy story. There are considered selected literature and sources that without exception speak about Christian subtext, which Clive Staples Lewis incorporated in all of narnian stories, as well as about the elements of various genres alongside fantasy, such as fairy tale, myth, animal stories and romance. In the story The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Clive Staples Lewis used the structure of the fantasy story, marked in the tradition of English children’s literature with Lewis Carroll’s fantasy stories Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice found there. As esteemed scholar and expert for English medieval and renaissance literature Lewis included in his story elements of romance and Christian subtext, influenced by his religious believes that he intended to pass to the young readers as a form of their reading pre-baptism
Initial teacher education and the New Zealand curriculum.
No full textNew Zealand teacher educators are faced with the challenge of how to prepare their student teachers to become beginning teachers who are able to base their teaching upon the national curriculum. To meet this challenge, designers of initial teacher education (ITE) programmes need to consider the interface between ITE curriculum and the legislated curriculum for schools. This paper looks at some of the historical influences upon the curriculum in both initial teacher education and schools by examining wider contextual influences. We point out that in ITE there has been an ongoing search for the most appropriate knowledge base for teaching, a search that is made problematic due to differing views of knowledge, teaching and learning We argue that in spite of these differences, there is benefit in an ITE curriculum that has a close relationship with the school curriculum in terms of what is learned and the teaching and learning approaches. New Zealand has a revised national curriculum for schools (Ministry of Education, 2007) that schools are expected to implement from 2010. In preparing student teachers to become beginning teachers, ITE providers are in a phase of designing learning experiences that link ITE curriculum and school curriculum. This process is problematic, for there are various internal and external pressures that lead to a crowded ITE curriculum and challenge ITE autonomy and innovation in curriculum decision-making
