Afghanistan? Somewhere west of India, isn't it?
No full textFor more than 10 years, the senior co-author has been regularly testing tertiary journalism students on their 'news geography' - the ability to accurately locate on a world map 10 countries that had been in the news at the time, or with which Australia has or has had a bond. His co-author joined him in 1997 to compare results from two universities, Charles Sturt and Western Sydney. They joined forces again in 2002 to compare the geographic knowledge of first-year journalism students at Queensland University of Technology with that of senior students at the University of Queensland. the most surprising result was that despite "The War on Terror", and Australia's involvement, relatively few could accurately locate Afghanistan. For several years, the senior co-author has also tested first-year journalism students' knowledge of a series of a series of figures and statistics that give a barometer of the Australian and world economies. The latest monetary exchange rates are used to test students' knowledge of the various statistics journalists regularly rely on as indicators of economic movements. The authors also combined in 2002 to test students at QUT and UQ on this knowledge
Work experience at major events: Is it worth the bother?
No full textTertiary journalism students have had a smorgasbord of work experience opportunities at major sporting events over the past couple of years. But for many - especially those who volunteered for the Sydney 2000 Olympics - the experience was one of disappointment. This paper chronicles some of the major work experience opportunities afforded students in recent times and concludes that a more productive arrangement with event organisers looking for willing helpers from journalism schools need to be put in place to avert disappointing student journalists looking for “real journalism experience‿
The 1997 top ten survey: students' views of what makes news
No full textHave you ever wondered how journalism students learn to differentiate the 'important' story from the daily dross that journalism inevitably throws up? We have. This paper examines the choices journalism students make when they're asked to nominate a 'top ten'from a finite list of stories. It syggests the possible news values they apply to their selection of the ten best stories over a 12 month period. As a second measure of ability to comprehend and apply news values we also examine the students' ability to correctly locate countries on a map: a test of their political geography. We offer some tentative conclusions about the students' willingness to engage with the 'difficult' stories about politics and economics, rather than the 'easy shot' news of celebrities, disasters and sporting heroes
'You can sweep the floor but don't expect to be allowed to stand on it': A cautionary tale of student journalists' experience during the Goodwill Games and CHOGM
No full textWhile organisers of major events like the Olympics, the Goodwill Games and CHOGM, actively seek out support from journalism faculties to provide students to do mainly\ud
menial tasks at media centres for these major events, when it comes to accrediting student journalists to report on these news events, it’s another matter. The author looks at the difficulties journalism students at QUT had in reporting the Goodwill\ud
Games and CHOGM for their broadcast outlets in Brisbane

Ithomiidae species
No full textIthomiidae butterflies fly even in light rain. It is relatively easy to follow them due to the slow flight, but their transparent wings makes it difficult to focus properly. Shot by Mitch Denda and Roger Manrique in San Felipe, Venezuela on October 31, 2004

Handbook of biochemistry and molecular biology / edited by Roger L. Lundblad, Fiona M. Macdonald.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Book fair 2013.xvii, 1080 p. :Edited by renowned protein scientist and bestselling author Roger L. Lundblad, with the assistance of Fiona M. Macdonald of CRC Press, this fourth edition of the Handbook of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology represents a dramatic revision -- the first in two decades -- of one of biochemistry's most referenced works. This edition gathers a wealth of information not easily obtained, including information not found on the web." "Offering a molecular perspective not available 20 years ago, it provides physical and chemical data on proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Presented in an organized, concise, and simple-to-use format, this popular reference allows quick access to the most frequently used data. Covering a wide range of topics, from classical biochemistry to proteomics and genomics, it also details the properties of commonly used biochemicals, laboratory solvents, and reagents." "Just a small sampling of the wealth of information found inside the handbook" : "Buffers and buffer solutions" -- "Heat capacities and combustion levels" -- "--Reagents for the chemical modification of proteins" -- "Comprehensive classification system for lipids" -- "Biological characteristics of vitamins" -- "A huge variety of UV data" -- "Recommendations for nomenclature and tables in biochemical thermodynamics" -- "Guidelines for NMR measurements for determination of high and low pka values" -- "Viscosity and density tables" -- "Chemical and physical properties of various commercial plastics" -- "Generic source-based nomenclature for polymers" -- "Therapeutic enzyme
