In January 1975, Chevalier College, Bowral, and Elm Court, Moss Vale, schools for boys and girls respectively situated six kilometres apart, began discussions about extending their present combination in the senior school to full co-education in a fully combined high school. Chevalier would become the senior partner and take over administration of the combined school. In 1975, support was sought from religious communities, teaching staffs and parents involved, and detailed planning began in several committees. The next year brought conflict. For reasons so frequently associated with resistance to change, such as loss of power and identity, intensified by thoughtlessness from Chevalier, the Elm Court community began to resist and work against the amalgamation. The diocesan education authorities, appealed to by the local sisters, suggested an alternative proposal to replace the amalgamation. However, after further consideration by the superiors of the sisters at Elm Court, and helped by more careful consideration from Chevalier, the project finally went ahead. The major decisions concerned with the amalgamation were made by the superiors of the two religious orders concerned, and then by the school headmaster, assisted by his councils. There was very little real involvement of the local community of parents, or of the students. With the crisis successfully weathered, prospects seem bright for 1977, especially if the lessons learnt during the conflict are remembered.

Product placement, also referred to as stealth advertising, raises important questions when it comes to television because a far larger audience views television than movies. Product placement in newscasts is even more controversial. Television news is expected to be free of persuasive attempts and provide citizens with basic information that is of public importance. Yet, product placement blurs the line between journalism and commercial promotion, thus destroying the integrity of the news. Product placement in newscasts raises ethical questions about the effect it has on viewers, provided that they do not realize that they are presented with commercials, framed as news story. Yet, this paper argues that, since viewers focus on the actual news and do not elaborate consciously on the advertised product or brand, product placement in newscasts has little effect on their brand recall. To support this hypothesis the paper compares brand recall from product placement and commercials. Results revealed that this hypothesis is partially true. Important discovery from this study is the fact that product placement directly affects news credibility.

The banded elm bark beetle, Scolytus schevyrewi, was first observed in Canada in Alberta in 2006. In 2007, it was found in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Its hosts include the American elm and so, it has the potential to transmit Dutch elm disease. The beetle was studied in six communities in 2009–2011 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to learn about its biology in the Prairies. Baited sticky traps revealed that the adult flight period is from June until October, with a peak in late summer. Unbaited sticky traps and trap logs revealed that stressed Siberian elm is the preferred host. Although S. schevyrewi larvae overwintered successfully, 15% of the overwintering individuals emerged in the spring. The main impact of S. schevyrewi is expected to be the killing of stressed Siberian elms. Such trees should be removed to avoid population outbreaks that might result in attacks on healthy Siberian and American elms.

A genetic catalogue was generated from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from the pathogenic filamentous fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. Rather than full sequencing of the entire genome, fragments of each gene being actively expressed at a specific point in time were catalogued and annotated for identity and function. This catalogue represents a resource of considerable depth for the purposes of gene discovery, genetic regulation, protein expression, pathogenicity, and growth state studies. An online database was generated to serve as a powerful tool for downstream applications, facilitating and enhancing future research in all of these important areas of fungal biology. The ascomycetous fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi represents an excellent model organism for genetic experimentation. A diversity of physiological functions, including dimorphism, pathogenicity, melanin biosynthesis, and glycoprotein secretion at high levels mean that principles elucidated from this fungus are likely of broad application. Ophiostoma novo-ulmi has been identified as the causative agent of Dutch elm disease, which has become an economic and horticultural pandemic in North America. As a result, the mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction of this fungus are of particular interest. Initial attempts at disruption of pathogenicity, most commonly by disruption of single genes identified as potential pathogenicity factors, have met with little success. As our understanding of the complexity and co-ordination of proteins involved with host-pathogen interaction deepens, the discovery of a single dominant pathogenicity gene is becoming increasingly unlikely. As such, a broader genomics approach was employed to work towards identification of groups, or networks of genes that operate in a concerted manner, regulating pathogenicity or parasitic fitness. A low redundancy library was constructed from Ophiostoma nova-ulmi complementary DNA, producing a total of 4386 readable expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from 5760 clones. Of these, 2093 sequences matched with sequences found in public databases while 2293 represented orphan sequences. Of the sequences in the former group, 1761 sequences matched with known proteins while 332 sequences matched with hypothetical/predicted proteins. Sequences matching known proteins included 880 singletons, corresponding to 49.97 % of the ESTs in this category. Extrapolating this proportion to the sequences matching hypothetical proteins estimated the number of singletons in this category to be 166. Similarly, 1835 orphan sequences were estimated to contain 917 unique sequences. Singletons matching entries in public databases (n=880) were manually annotated into functional categories as established by the Munich Information Centre for Protein Sequences (MIPS). Metabolism (21%), Protein Synthesis (10%), Subcellular Localization (10%), Biogenesis of Cell Components (8%), and Transcription (8%) categories were the most highly represented.

Functional programming has long been used in academia, but has historically seen little light in industry, where imperative programming languages have been dominating. This is quickly changing in web development, where the functional paradigm is increasingly being adopted. While programming languages on other platforms than the web are constantly competing, in a sort of survival of the fittest environment, on the web the platform is determined by the browsers which today only support JavaScript. JavaScript which was made in 10 days is not well suited for building large applications. A popular approach to cope with this is to write the application in another language and then compile the code to JavaScript. Today this is possible to do in a number of established languages such as Java, Clojure, Ruby etc. but also a number of special purpose language has been created These are languages that are made for building front-end web applications. One such language is Elm which embraces the principles of functional programming. In many real life situation Elm might not be possible to use, so in this report we are going to look at how to bring the benefits seen in Elm to JavaScript.
