Ellen Kettle
No full textPhotograph from Library & Archives NT PH0127/0001 and PH0127/0054Ellen Kettle completed her general nursing training in 1945 and her Midwifery training and certificate in 1951. She then worked for six months on Thursday Island caring for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This experience prompted her to write to the Director of Health in Canberra to ask for an opportunity to work as a nurse in the Northern Territory. Kettle then commenced nursing on a Government Aboriginal settlement about 185 miles from Alice Springs.
In 1954 Nurse Kettle was appointed the Commonwealth Department of Health's first Rural Survey Sister, pioneering mobile health work in isolated areas of the Northern Territory. Over the next five decades she almost single-handedly revolutionised Aboriginal health in the Northern Territory by creating medical records for thousands of patients and drawing attention to their plight, particularly in regard to high infant mortality. In 1967 Miss Ellen Kettle received an OBE for her services to nursing.
Her personal papers are held at the Northern Territory Library and include diaries kept from 1959 to 1997 and her autobiography, Gone Bush, provides a remarkable insight into the work of this dedicated and courageous woman. Sister Ellen Kettle died in Darwin on 2 August 1999, aged 77.

Kettle Logic
No full textCopyright © The Author 2021. This article unearths the political logic of the police kettle. Rather than add to the mundane debate about civil liberties or models of policing, this article argues that the kettle reveals nothing less than the police war at the heart of modernity. This is a police war carried out as a logic of containment against the enemy within—within the kettle and within society. The kettle is a microcosm of the police war of containment

If this occurs on the water, you will have head winds and a tedious time; if on land, you will kill no game, or perhaps meet with a serious accident.PRINTED ITEM DNE-citW.

Interpreting basal sediments and plant fossils in kettle lakes: insights from Silver Lake, Michigan, USA
No full textWe report on pollen, plant macrofossils, and associated lithostratigraphy of a sediment core extracted from the base of Silver Lake, a kettle in northern Lower Michigan, USA, which reveal a complex deglacial scenario for ice block melting and lake formation, and subsequent plant colonization. Complementary multivariate statistical and squared-chord distance analyses of the pollen data support these interpretations. The basal radiocarbon age from the core (17,540 cal yr BP) is rejected as being anomalously old, based on biostratigraphic anomalies in the core and the dateâ s incongruity with respect to the accepted regional deglaciation chronology. We reason that this erroneous age estimate resulted from the redeposition of Middle Wisconsin- age fossils by the ice sheet, mixed with the remains of plants that existed as the kettle lake formed at ca. 10,940 cal yr BP by ice block ablation. Thereafter, the kettle lake became a reliable repository of Holocene- age fossils, documenting a mature boreal forest that existed until 10,640 cal yr BP, followed by a pine-dominated mixed forest, an early variant of the mixed conifer- hardwood forest that persists to the present day. Our study demonstrates that researchers investigating kettle lakes, a common depositional archive for plant fossils in deglaciated landscapes, should exercise caution in interpreting the basal (late Pleistocene/early Holocene- age) part of lake sediment cores.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

Experiments on the Origin of Kettle-holes
No full textAbstractSeveral theories exist on the origin of kettle-holes in pro-glacial outwash deposits. The most widely accepted origin involves the melting of buried ice. The author carried out some experiments in which ice blocks were placed on or in outwash sediments in a tank in order to determine which mechanisms of ice melt would be most likely to give rise to kettle-hole features. The largest kettle-holes were produced by the melting of buried ice blocks; smaller transient depressions were formed from ice blocks melting in streams of flowing water; while, rather than depressions, ridges resembling pingos and moraines were created by ice blocks melting on a dry or saturated gravel surface.</jats:p
