Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Stolen Generation - History of public awareness

Awareness of the Stolen Generation, and the practices which created it, only began to enter the public arena in the late 1980s through the efforts of Aboriginal activists, artists and musicians. The extensive public interest in the Mabo case had the side effect of throwing the media spotlight on all issues related to Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia, and most notably the Stolen Generation. In 1992, as media attention and public interest began to mount, the Prime Minister, Paul Keating made the first formal acknowled ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Storm surge - The problem of public awareness

Unfortunately, most people currently living in hurricane-prone areas do not understand the threat of storm surge and have never experienced a direct hit by a major hurricane. In South Florida, many people, houses and animals were virtually swept away by storm surge in the great hurricanes of the early part of this century. Yet the collective memory no longer holds these recollections. Instead, mental images of hurricane destruction are likely to be those of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Andrew's peak storm surge, at 5.15 m (16.9 feet) NGVD (NOAA ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Puerto Rico Trench - Public awareness

Knowledge of the risks has not been widespread among the general public of the islands located near the trench, as governments have generally spoken little about the it for two main reasons. First: tourism is essential for those nations to survive; wider knowledge of the danger may cut revenue generated by the industry. Second: the governments want to prevent fear among the local population. Since 1988, the Puerto Rican Seismic Society has been trying to use the Puerto Rican media to inform people about a future ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Dannii Minogue - Awareness campaigns and charity

In 2004 Minogue posed nude with just a long red ribbon covering up parts of her body to help the fight against AIDS. She is an ambassador for the Terence Higgins Trust, which raises awareness about the disease. Personal experiences made Minogue want to educate people about AIDS since she has known many people within the entertainment industry and close personal friends who have been affected by the disease.

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Global cooling - Introduction: general awareness and concern

In the 1970s there was increasing awareness that estimates of global temperatures showed cooling since 1945. The general public had little awareness about carbon dioxide's effects: at the time garbage, chemical disposal, smog, particulate pollution, and acid rain were the focus of the public concern, although Paul Ehrlich mentions the climate change from the greenhouse gases in 1968 [1]. However, not long after the awareness reached the public press in the mid-1970s the temperature trend stopped going down. Even by the early 1970s there was ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Ivan and Charika Corea - 2002: Autism Awareness Year in the UK

Autism Awareness Year, which was supported by 800 UK organisations, struck a chord with the general public and garnered a great deal of TV and press coverage. The Autism Awareness Campaign is now one of the most successful ongoing campaigns connected with disabilities in the UK. The Coreas have said they were inspired by their son Charin to launch the Autism Awareness Campaign to create greater awareness of the condition, and to campaign for better public services in education, health, speech therapy and respite car ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Hubbert peak theory - Cultural Awareness

Hubbert's research and awareness of Hubbert peak theory is becoming a more prevalent sociological phenomenon. For example, a peaknik is a person who studies or has an interest in the Hubbert Peak theory of oil depletion and is concerned for the possible long-term effects on society. Peaknik may also refer to people involved in promoting public awareness of Peak Oil. The word Peaknik is a neologism - it is a variation of the term peacenik. The use of "-nik" evokes a counterculture attitude to the status quo. The term Doomer is sometimes used to describe Peakniks t ...

Bolo Marks Technical Data - Mark XX/B Tremendous. Introduced in 2796, the Mark XX was the first truly self-directing self-aware Bolo, made possible by breakthroughs psychotronics. It maintained the same defensive capabilities as the Mark XIX but was forced to down size its main armament from a single 50cm Hellbore to dual 30cm models because of the space taken up by the new psychotronics.

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Delirium - Confusion and disorientation

Confusion may occur in delirium, where the sufferer loses the capacity for clear and coherent thought. It may be apparent in disorganised or incoherent speech, the inability to concentrate or a lack of goal directed thinking.

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Capuchin monkey - Intelligence

Capuchins are considered the most intelligent New World monkeys and are often used in laboratories. The Tufted Capuchin is especially noted for its long-term tool usage, one of the few examples of primate tool use other than by apes. When it sees macaws eating palm nuts, cracking them open with their beaks, these capuchins will select a few of the ripest fruits, nip off the tip of the fruit and drink down the juice, then seemingly discard the rest of the fruit with the nut inside. When these discarded fruits have hardened and become slightly ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Hinduism in the United States - History

Prior to 1965, Hindu immigration to the US was miniscule and isolated. In those earlier days, traders were primarily the only ones who bothered to set foot in the USA. The Bellingham Riots in Bellingham, Washington on September 5, 1907epitomized the low tolerance in the USA for Indians and Hindus. Despite such events, they continued to work and stay until the Immigration and Nationality Services (INS) Act of 1965 was passed. This opened the doors to Hindu immigrants who wished to work and start families in the United States. It included preachers as well, who spread awareness of the ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Enlightenment concept - Definition

The Western intellectual history of term "enlightenment" is the basis for the secular idea that relates to a localized, religion-specific "enlightenment". It also attempts to bridge the traditional gap between religions and religious belief and psychological science. In this secular sense, 'the enlightened' are those who are not distracted by their thoughts but who stay focused —resisting the natural tendency to be come 'lost' in thinking about experience (rather than experiencing the present). This focus is called 'awareness ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - What's Going On song - Covers

"What's Going On" remains one of the most covered soul songs of all time; many artists have covered the song both for live performances and on record. Cyndi Lauper recorded a hit version of the song taking it to #12 on the pop charts in 1986. The most notable cover was done in 2001, credited to "All Star Tribute", and proceeds going to Artists Against AIDS Worldwide. With Jermaine Dupri serving as producer, the cover featured an all-star lineup of dozens of popular contemporary artists from all genres, and its video and donations were not only dedicated to the problem of AIDS, but it was also eventually expanded to dedicate ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Self-harm - Culture / Community

It has been said, usually in a derogatory fashion by the Media, that there is a 'culture of self injury' within schools and on the Internet. There are certainly communities that are based around the subject of self harm, and they tend to focus around a message board with or without a main website. But there is not 'a community'; there is not one Umbrella organisation that represents or speaks for people who self harm. There are many community sites of varying sizes that offer peer-support, emotional discussion, philosophical and ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Storm surge - Saving lives through storm forecasting and prediction of surge

It is important to keep in mind most people expect the government is taking care of what needs to be done, in terms of growth planning and hurricane evacuation procedures. This may be true to some extent, as growth and emergency planners strive to devise plans and procedures to minimize loss of life in natural disasters. However, if public awareness of natural hazards falls grossly behind the actual danger, as it has in the area of coastal hazards, then what we see is uncontrolled building, construction and growth, coupled with a false sense of s ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Human condition - Study

The human condition is the subject of fields of study like sociology, anthropology, and demographics. In some of the poorest parts of the world, the human condition has changed little over the centuries. In most developed countries, improvements in medicine, education, and public health have brought about marked changes in the human condition over the last few hundred years, with increases in life expectancy and demography (see demographic transition). Probably one of the largest changes has been the availability of contraception, which has changed the lives of women and attitudes to sexuality. Even then, these changes only ...

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - Capuchin monkey - Social structure

Capuchins live together in groups of six to 40 members. These groups consist of related females and their offspring, as well as several males. Usually groups are dominated by a single male, who has primary rights to mate with the females of the group. Mutual grooming as well as vocalization serves as communication and stabilization of the group dynamics. These primates are territorial animals, distinctly marking a central area of their territory with urine and defending it against intru ...

"A poster becomes that one image that represents the entire film," Struzan says.

Awareness: Encyclopedia II - General anaesthetic - Mechanism of action

Researchers agree that ion channels are the ultimate site of action of general anaesthetics, and are now determining the exact molecular mechanisms. However, the sites of action of general anaesthetics proved difficult to identify until the last decade. The wide variation in structure, ranging from complex steroids to the inert monatomic gas xenon, led to several now outdated theories of anaesthetic action. It is now known that general anaesthetics act on the central nervous system by modifying the electrical activity of neurons at a ...
