    An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars

    No full text
    The guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes

Visit this record in UMA's new catalogue at: https://archives.library.unimelb.edu.au/nodes/view/276311This was a deputation of peace activists, trade unionists and a Senator to the U.S. Consulate in Albert Road; demanding the removal of U.S. military bases from Australia. Prior to this location, the U.S. Consulate was on the ground floor in Commercial Road and was an easy target for harassment. Traditionally, there was a demonstration at the consulate every July 4 and during the Vietnam war it was the scene of many bloody encounters with the police. The new location was on the ninth floor and surrounded by surveillance cameras, etc. Front, then L-R: Senator Cyril Primmer, Jean McLean (Save Our Sons), George Crawford (Plummer's Union), Ted Bull, John Lloyd.200042 Item: [1999.0081.00360] "Deputation to U.S. Consulate demanding removal of U.S. military bases in Australia.

    Three-body Supersymmetric Top Decays

    We discuss three-body supersymmetric top decays, in schemes both with andwithout R-parity conservation, assuming that sfermion masses are larger thanm_t. We find that MSSM top decays into chargino/neutralino pairs have a strongkinematic suppression in the region of the supersymmetric parameter spaceconsistent with the LEP limits, with a decay width =< 10^{-5} GeV. MSSM topdecays into neutralino pairs have less kinematical suppression, but require aflavour-changing vertex, and are likely to have a smaller rate. On the otherhand, R-violating decays to single charginos, neutralinos and conventionalfermions can be larger for values of the R-violating couplings still permittedby other upper limits. The cascade decays of the charginos and neutralinos maylead to spectacular signals with explicit lepton-number violation, such aslike-sign lepton events.We discuss three-body supersymmetric top decays, in schemes both with and without R-parity conservation, assuming that sfermion masses are larger than m_t.

    On Balsam Divide looking towards Black Rock Knob

    No full text
    A typed caption on this photograph identifies it as 'On Balsam Divide looking towards Black Rock Knob.' The photograph is featured in a report titled 'Properties of Dr. John R. Brinkley,' which contains a letter of transmittal from Ellis Clarke Soper, Consulting Engineer, dated May 1, 1937, on the economic potential of the area. The photograph shows the trunk of a tree in the left of center foreground and the mountain slope and peak in the background. Dr. John R. Brinkley (1885 - 1942), for whom the reported was compiled, was born and raised in Jackson County, N.C., and gained a reputation as a practitioner of eclectic medicine. While he became wealthy in the 1920s and 1930s from his medical practice, his methods were later widely discredited. In 1936 he bought a 9,000 acre tract of land on the Plott Balsam mountain range in Jackson County, N.C. The location was noted for the prominence of several high peaks in the range, such as Black Rock, Waterrock Knob, and Yellow Face
