Seasons of My Life is the story of an ordinary person who has lived an extraordinary life. Of lessons learnt and lessons taught, from living with honesty, integrity, kindness, and compassion, to not being afraid of challenge and change, and embracing all cultures, care, kindness, and tolerance to all people.

Australia has long been observed to experience ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) of alternating flooding and drought. It is currently experiencing its fourth year of La Niña heavy rain and flooding. At some stage this will revert to one or more years of El Nino drought, often severe. In previous years of drought consideration was given to alternative water supply including recycled wastewater. This paper reflects upon the case of the previous period of El Niño drought in South East Queensland with the aim of contributing to drought mitigation planning through reviving consideration of recycled water.

The Placeholder is the story of a strong-willed young woman whose ideas were ahead of her time. She was born in Alabama in the 1800''s when women were treated like possessions. They were sometimes victims of abuse without recourse. They had no say, could not vote, own property, nor work outside their homes without the permission from a man. They were subjected to the rule of fathers, husbands, brothers, and male employers, if they were fortunate enough to gain employment. The main character, Evinaida Corbitt, fought to change these conditions. She joined a group called the Suffragettes. Their aim was to gain suffrage for women. In addition to being a part of the female equality struggle, she was also born a mulatto which brought on another type of discrimination.

Agatha Chrysanthemum began giving practical advice to all who loved nature and dared to ask questions around the same time gardening articles began appearing in two separate newspapers. For a few years, Agatha''s adventures and expertise on all things green endeared her to all those who read of her daily escapades. Now, after decades in hibernation, they have finally been resurrected and compiled into a book, along with a few new mysteries. Always timeless, just like Agatha, the green fables hidden among these pages will enlighten as well as delight.

It is 1919. The time of the great English and French air races. A time of rejoicing and rebuilding after the devastation of World War 1. Ironically, millions are out of work throughout Europe. Economies are struggling. Anarchists and fifth columnists are doing their utmost to bring down entire governments and countries in the name of labor, socialism, or just plain greed.One man, the mysterious "Governor", has enough power, enough money, and enough hatred to rally thousands to his call: the economic destruction of England.Scotland Yard is handcuffed. The Home Office moves too slowly. In desperation His Majesty''s government turns to the two people they have relied upon in the past: Lady Emily Joyce and Professor August Lane.Brilliant scientists, lovers, and possessed of certain skills that make them a nightmare to the ungodly, The Lady and the Professor take up the challenge to identify "The Governor" and put an end to his plans by whatever means necessary.Accompanied by their long time associate Chief Inspector Hugh McCrimmon, the lovely Aaradhya O''Hara, their inscrutable butler, Biddle, and a small army of The Lady''s remarkable cousins they begin a new adventure that takes them from London to Paris. From Lincolnshire to the formidable Orkney Islands. There''s danger at every step, in the air in Lady Emily''s unique aircraft, and under the sea in the most incredible submarine battle of the era.There is action, adventure, mystery, and enough romance for all.And there is a terrible, dark demon that resurfaces from Emily''s past that threatens to destroy her.

1939. The interval that was called "The Phony War". It was the eight months between the Nazi invasion of Poland and the hostilities in France. War had been declared but, for now, no major actions were forthcoming.However it was a very real war for The Lady and the Professor.Lady Emily Joyce: electronics and mechanics genius, peerless pilot, and the most beautiful and deadly woman in England, possibly the world. Professor August Lane: a big, brawling, good natured, Canadian backwoodsman who, as unlikely as it seemed, just happened to be one of the top physicists in the world. Together the long time partners and lovers had dealt with some of the most bizarre and terrible threats against England and the world. But it had been quite some time since the two had worked "in the field" as the Professor referred to it. These days Lane''s adventures were confined to the lecture halls and Lady Emily was devoting all her brilliance in electronics to aiding the British war effort.But something monstrous was afoot. America''s secret research presumed that a new, terrible weapon was still years away. England assumed that the brave actions of Norwegian and French forces had stymied Germany''s development of "heavy water" as a key component of such a weapon.They were both wrong. That terrible weapon, the Atomic bomb, was within the Nazi''s grasp and the only ones singularly equipped to deal with the menace were The Lady and the Professor along with their fearless companions; Minister Hugh McCrimmon, his exquisite wife Aaradhya O''Hara McCrimmon, her father Colonel Allenby O''Hara, and Lady Emily''s incredible band of cousins. This time their adventure would cover almost half the world taking them from the deepest jungles to snow covered mountains as they faced off against their most ruthless opponent yet.And all the while the clock was ticking on the fate of the allies and the world.

Lady Emily Joyce is not your typical British Lady. Especially for 1919. She is, among other things; a mechanical and electrical genius, a martial arts expert, an inventor, and a pilot. She has studied with some of the best names in fields such as anthropology, physics, martial arts, weaponry, and much more. In addition, she has beauty and grace that is envied by others. She uses all of her skills to her advantage.When her live in lover, Professor August Lane is attacked by what appears to be a mysterious flying figure, their next adventure begins. This time she and Lane are up against a madman with the will, the way, and the unheard of weaponry to rekindle the flames of war once again. Along for the ride are Inspector McCrimmon of Scotland Yard; the ever faithful butler, Biddle; the secretary/cousin and equally beautiful Aaradhya O''Hara; Dr. Trees, a Professor of Anthropology; and a bevy of mysterious cousins. With her beloved England still recovering from the effects of World War I, she knows the devastation another war could cause. With the help of their friends, His Majesty''s government, their incredible expertise, and a couple of trusty Winchesters, they begin a pursuit that will carry them from England, to the Bavarian Alps, to the shadows of the great pyramids.The entire adventure is chronicled by her lover and admirer Professor August Lane. Can they stop the maniac in time? Or will his ungodly creations wreak havoc and set in motion a second world war?This is a new edition as of July 2017. It has been re-edited and passed thru two proofreading programs. Surprisingly they do not always agree. I hope this corrects the cause of some deserved criticisms. Anything else is just part of the style of the book, its period in history, and I hope brings a certain flavor to the book and enjoyment to the reader.Thank you for your patience.

The major objectives of this thesis were to identify the tick species parasitizing companion dogs in southeastern Ontario, determine demographic and management factors associated with the carriage of I. scapularis and B. burgdorferi-positive ticks, and identify clustering of the carriage of these organisms in space, time, and space-time. Seven species of ticks from 543 companion dogs were collected from 20 participating veterinary hospitals. Ixodes scapularis were detected on 85.6% of parasitized dogs, and 7.5% of these dogs were carrying at least one B. burgdorferi-positive tick. The odds of I. scapularis parasitism was significantly greater in fall and spring compared to summer, with closer proximity to Lake Ontario, in female compared to male dogs, in dogs weighing over 30 kg, and in dogs that had not visited a farm. Significant spatial, temporal and space-time clusters were identified that were frequently consistent with surveillance data acquired from active tick surveillance.

On the night of November 4th 1605, the English authorities uncovered an alleged plot by a group of discontented Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament with the lords, princes, queen and king in attendance. The failure of the plot is celebrated to this day and is known as Guy Fawkes Day. In Poets, Players and Preachers, Anne James explores the literary responses to the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in poetry, drama, and sermons. This book is the first full-length study of the literary repercussions of the conspiracy. By analyzing the genres of poems, plays, and sermons produced between 1605 and 1688, the author argues that not only did the continuous reinterpretation of the conspiracy serve religious and political purposes but that such literary reinterpretations produced generic changes.

This thesis is an exploration of the role of processional architecture in articulating the Qutb Shahi necropolis in southern India at the beginning of the Qutb Shahi dynasty (mid-16th C). More precisely, it analyzes two processional pathways that connected Golconda Fortress to the Qutb Shahi necropolis. The pathways were significant because of the political and spiritual qualities they held. They extended northward toward a Sufi shrine and water complex, and beyond that to the antecedent capital of Bidar 135 kilometers to the northwest. Later, these paths would be important in connecting Golconda and the necropolis with the city of Hyderabad founded in 1591. Methods used to examine these pathways are a mix of historical, topographical, visual, and spatial investigations as they relate to the wider political and spiritual patronages of the sultanate. The first part of each chapter provides context of the wider patronage of each sultan. The second part explores the landscape of procession by moving through the pathways as they were laid out. The third part shows how the series of structures take advantage of the natural topography by framing key "views" of the processional ways and thereby connect Golconda to the necropolis. The final section of each chapter shows how these larger perspectives help to interpret the spatial layout of tombs on the necropolis. Through this analysis of four spatial relationships, the thesis shows how the tomb complex was defined by an initial pair of orientations to the East and South, which shifted to a primary emphasis to the South during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah (1550-1580), and back to the East during the reign of Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah (1580-1611.) As the Sultanate evolved, the pathways became, and remained, as important as the critical monuments of spiritual and political significance that they connected.

Perhaps being old is like having lighted rooms Inside your head, and people in them, acting People you know, but can''t quite name. Philip lArkin This book is about those very old people who have a great many memories but few friends left to share them with. It is about valuing and using their memories to enhance the quality of their lives, that is, about reminiscence work. Many professionals offer this help to older people, including nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and clinical psychologists, as do families and voluntary workers. Its elements can be incorporated into day-to-day contacts with older people or it may take place in more structured settings. The transitional period from mature middle age to dependent old age is neither distinct nor precise. It does not occur at an identifiable time, it may be prolonged and it may not be obvious to the old people or their families. Loss of autonomy; the inability to cope unaided with the tasks of daily living, and increasing physical and mental frailty probably signal the area of transition. The diminished self-confidence that some old people feel at this time may be compounded by personal loss and financial difficulties; enforced changes in their lifestyles may also add to their confusion.

The only sound was the rustling of palm fronds. Early morning humidity glistened in droplets on the skin of the two naked women bound together at the ankle by a thin blue nylon rope.

Over little more than half a century, the value added tax (VAT) has risen to become one of the world''s most dominant revenue instruments. However, very little is known about what has contributed to the VAT''s rapid rise. This dissertation contends that this gap is due in part to neglect and in part to the dominance of a received explanation that attributes the VAT''s rise to its merits. Upon closer examination, this explanation generally rests on the merits of an ideal or good VAT that is rarely, if ever, realised in practice by the real VATs that have actually been introduced. This dissertation contends that the discrepancy between the good VAT and real VATs is one of many factors which demonstrate the inadequacy of the merits-based explanation of the VAT''s rise. In light of the fact that it is real VATs that have actually risen, this dissertation proposes a new approach to explain the rise of these real VATs. To demonstrate the benefits of an alternative approach, the dissertation draws on policy analysis to examine two case studies, the introduction of a VAT in Australia and the resistance to VAT reform in the United States. The case studies reveal that merits are unable to account for both the decision to adopt a VAT and for the real VATs that get adopted. The analysis shows that an understanding of the histories and institutions that both enable and constrain policy choices is crucial to explaining the rise of real VATs. This dissertation continues, however, where most policy accounts end and focuses on the interaction between these local histories of VAT reform and key decisions relating to the legal design, administration and implementation of the VAT. This focus on law enables insights into real VATs that are lost in many policy accounts of VAT reform or that are ignored, downplayed or insufficiently accounted for in the conventional merits-based explanations of the VAT''s rise. This dissertation makes a significant contribution to both tax law and policy analysis. The challenge it presents to conventional understandings of the VAT''s rise, in turn, reveals new insights into the rise of this important revenue instrument. The law in this dissertation is at 31 January 2012.
