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

Can a problem-solving approach strengthen landscape ecology’s contribution to sustainable landscape planning?
No full textThe need to avert unacceptable and irreversible environmental change is the most urgent challenge facing society. Landscape ecology has the capacity to help address these challenges by providing spatially-explicit solutions to landscape sustainability problems. However, despite a large body of research, the real impact of landscape ecology on sustainable landscape management and planning is still limited. In this paper, we first outline a typology of landscape sustainability problems which serves to guide landscape ecologists in the problem-solving process. We then outline a formal problem-solving approach, whereby landscape ecologists can better bring about disciplinary integration, a consideration of multiple landscape functions over long time scales, and a focus on decision making. This framework explicitly considers multiple ecological objectives and socio-economic constraints, the spatial allocation of scarce resources to address these objectives, and the timing of the implementation of management actions. It aims to make explicit the problem-solving objectives, management options and the system understanding required to make sustainable landscape planning decisions. We propose that by adopting a more problem-solving approach, landscape ecologists can make a significant contribution towards realising sustainable future landscapes. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V

CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS’S FANTASTIC STORY
No full textRad 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
Transformation: how the landscape has changed and been modified
No full textI love peering down through the small curved window of planes as they land and ascend into Brisbane. I notice the other passengers also point out landmarks with happiness as they arrive back home from a trip overseas. The deep blue waters and sandbars of Moreton Bay and the sprawling suburbs of Sandgate and Redcliffe span out below. The tiny specs of the early morning traffic snake their way over the Hornibrook Bridge. The North Pine River winds its way through the mangroves to Moreton Bay, bordered by small patches of bushland which stand as sentinel to the pre-European landscape. In the 150 years since Queensland broke away from New South Wales, and after a slow beginning as largely an agricultural export economy, Queensland has become an economically and culturally diverse and prosperous society. The sign to the Brisbane Airport displays Queensland’s population counter as 4,455,149, increasing at one person every 4 minutes 33 seconds. Growth is rapid in the Great South East. The mood of growth and rapid urbanisation has replaced the once sleepy southeast, transforming it into sprawling suburbs and motorways, city bypasses and tunnels, linking north and south, east and west. Our politicians proudly claim ‘we are now entering a new phase of development’ – more transformation. Copyright © Clive McAlpine, 201
