Author Deborah Heffernan of Bridgton describes how secret plans to have a Queen
No full textAuthor Deborah Heffernan of Bridgton describes how secret plans to have a Queen Anne bonnet-top high boy built for her husband Jack Heffernan turned into a community affair, while yet remaining a secret. The actual design and construction of the high boy fell on Bob Dunning, with the help cabinetmaker Greg Marston. Others involved on the project included Mary and Don Johnson and their sons Tom and Eric. With descriptive details of elements included in the highboy

The Criminology of Boxing, Violence and Desistance
No full textJump assesses conflicting evidence and presents in-depth case studies of fighters to ask whether boxing's values of discipline and respect can create a support network that helps young men refrain from reoffending
“Look who is laughing now”: physical capital, boxing, and the prevention of repeat victimisation
No full textThis paper’s aim is to further current thinking around young men’s perceptions and understanding of violence, and the use of boxing as a vehicle in the prevention of repeat victimization. The focus is on the use of bodily or physical capital, and the ways in which men draw upon this resource to ward off attacks to identity and psyches, especially those perceived as disrespectful. It will draw on data from The Criminology of Boxing, Violence and Desistance (Jump 2020), and present overarching ideas from Tyrone, a psychosocial case study highlighting the underpinning theory and its development. This paper disrupts common discourses that argue that boxing is a panacea for all violence, and thus presents more subjective nuanced accounts of men’s lives in the gym, and the streets. In using the term “physical capital”, I employ Wacquant’s (1995) theory, and suggest that boxers not only use their body as a “form of capital” (p. 65), but that the physical capital accrued through the corporeal praxis of boxing, is actually a way to disavow prior victimization, and invest in the prevention of repeated traumatic scenarios
Deborah Cheetham \u27It’s not over till the Black Lady Sings\u27.
No full textThis year’s annual Nulungu lecture at the University of Notre Dame Australia’s Broome Campus will be delivered by Deborah Cheetham, Indigenous Soprano, actor and author of the internationally acclaimed play, White Baptist Abba Fan. She is a graduate of the NSW Conservatorium of Music and Julliard School of Music.
Since her international debut in 1997 Ms Cheetham has performed in the theatres and concert halls of United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and throughout Australia. At the Sydney Olympics in 2000, Ms Cheetham performed her original composition, Dali Mana Gamarada.
During the 2001 Centenary of Federation celebrations Ms Cheetham performed in several major events including the January 1st Concert in Sydney’s Centennial Park when she appeared as a soloist and speaker. She performed with Argentine tenor, Jose Cura at the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup in 2003. This was broadcast to a worldwide audience of more than one billion. In 2005, Deborah added to her list of international credit engagements in Paris, including performances at the Australian Embassy and the La Cigale in the Marais
In 2006 Deborah was a recipient of the Australia Council, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts fellowship. The fellowship enabled Deborah to write, direct and produce a 21st century Australian opera, Pecan Summer. The work created opportunities and demonstrated the talents of Indigenous singers and musicians, actors, writers and technicians.
On 22nd February this year Deborah performed the national anthem at the memorial service for the victims of the Black Saturday bushfires. Of the service Deborah said , ‘Joined by a massed choir of over 500 voices I was honoured to pay my respect to the victims and survivors of these terrible fires by singing Advance Australia Fair.’
Deborah will be delivering the Nulungu Lecture at the Broome Campus of The University of Notre Dame, 88 Guy Street, Broome, on Thursday 20 August at 5.00pm. The Nulungu Reconciliation Lecture is to be an annual event on the Broome Campus where key speakers will be invited to address issues of Reconciliation that shape contemporary Aboriginal and Australian thought and experience. The title of Deborah’s lecture is It’s not over till the Black Lady Sings
The spread of a viscoelastic circular jet and hydraulic jump
No full textWe examine theoretically the spread of a jet impacting on a circular disk and the hydraulic jump of a viscoelastic fluid of the Oldroyd-B type. The depth-averaging approach is employed in the supercritical region. The subcritical flow is assumed to be inertialess of the lubrication type, and the downstream boundary condition is assumed to be a known parameter. The jump is treated as an abrupt shock, where the balance of mass and momentum is applied across it in the radial direction. The influence of viscoelasticity on the flow behavior is deduced by comparing against the well-established Newtonian limit. The analysis of the flow in the thin-film region reveals that the film thickness increases with viscoelasticity, aligning with the findings of previous studies on viscoelastic thin-film flows. Overall, all elastic stresses diminish downstream of the jump, implying that the contribution of viscoelasticity in the formation of the jump can be predominantly attributed to the rise of the elastic stresses upstream. It is found that viscoelasticity yields an increase in the jump height and a decrease in its radius, resulting in the jump occurring in closer proximity to the impingement point. A dimensionless group involving Deborah number and solute-to-polymer viscosity ratio successfully collapses the predicted jump radius onto a single curve, suggesting the configuration’s potential as a rheometer. At high Deborah numbers, the jump radius remains unchanged with varying downstream conditions. As gravity decreases, a small hump in the film manifests in the upstream region, and the jump radius becomes larger
