Adelaide is the place to be. Eager to catch up with its older brother and sister, Melbourne and Sydney, our city is creating a culture like no other. Taking inspiration from their street art, culture and atmosphere, the Adelaide City Council is eager to breathe new life into Adelaide’s parks, squares and laneways. However, this progress has come at a cost. While the council is busy helping out new businesses, established venues have cried foul, claiming they’re being hard done by. Maybe they have a point, but maybe they’re just scared of fresh competition.
There is no shortage of bars, restaurants and shops down Rundle St – for every coffee shop there’s a high-end fashion brand to go with it. The problem is that like Adelaide, the area has been dying for something fresh to come

Duckworth refuted the claims, saying that he had consulted with local businesses such as the Central Market and SAPOL before setting up shop in Victoria Square. “If anything, we’ve done too much. Along with this, we’ve been negotiating with the AHA (Australian Hotels Association) to make our trading hours in line with the surrounding nightlife spots.”
Posing the question on social media, we asked our Facebook and Twitter readers what they thought of the Royal Croquet Club. The results showed that there was a glaring amount of support for the idea in the city.
Sarah Johnson, aged 21, said, “the Royal Croquet Club is great. It serves as a cool meeting spot, somewhere to start the night or to even just to hang out and enjoy the fresh air”, while Lachlan Boko, 25, tweeted, saying that the club was now a very important fixture of Adelaide’s alternative culture. “Everyone I know loves it. It’s great to see people actually using Victoria Square, if you think about it it’s the perfect spot. It’s something different and I can’t wait for it to return this year.” Both The Royal Croquet Club and Little Miss Miami are popular online, the Croquet Club alone boasting over 16,000 Facebook
Abington v. Schempp was an important case regarding the establishment of religion in American schools. Until the late twentieth century, most children were sent to schools which had some sort of religious instruction in their day. The schools taught the morals, values, and beliefs of Christianity in addition to their everyday curriculum. However, as some people began to drift away from Christianity, parents believed this was not fair to the kids and justifiable by the government. They thought public schools should not be affiliated with religion to ensure the freedom of all of the families who send students there. Such is the situation with the 1963 Supreme Court case Abington v. Schempp.
"While Cardio Tennis has grown to nearly 1.7 million participants in the U.S., the program has also been growing around the world and is now in more than 30 countries.” (O’Donnell, Brian)
The merits of both the adversarial and inquisitorial system will be explored throughout this paper. The Australian rule of law best describes as all law should be applied equally and fairly. The five vital operations of the rule of law includes fairness, rationality, predictability, consistency, and impartially. The adversarial system adopts these operations by having a jury decide on the verdict and the judge being an impartial decision maker. In contrast, the inquisitorial system relies heavily on the judge. This can result in abusive power and bias of the judge when hearing evidence and delivering verdicts. The operations of the rule of law determine why the rule of law is best served by the adversarial system in Australia.
All of these players, dead or alive, leave their footprints for the future generations of golf. Golf as a whole right now can be seen two different ways, it is hard to tell if the sport is dying or growing right now. The numbers show that golf is growing. “Participation in PGA Junior League Golf – a team format for boys and girls 13 and under – has increased 233 percent since
Connor is concerned with how Sound Art is a vehicle for change in the gallery, in particular how sound can extend beyond the walls of the gallery to ventilate it with the sounds of what lies outside it, or to temporalise place. Connor discusses The Sonic Boom Exhibition held in London in 2000 which featured 23 sound artists who exhibited at The Hayward Gallery. The show featured an emphasis on sculptures or objects that produced sound. David Toop, the curator for the Sonic Boom Exhibition was faced with ‘a positively suburban problem of sound pollution’ says Connor. When one enters the exhibition one is immediately overwhelmed by a dense cloud of noise and sounds. How many sounding objects can one put into one space? David Toop defends his approach with the help of a w...
A new phenomenon happening in our city is the rebirth of many of our older and rundown areas. One of the best examples of this is the "Soulard" area of town, which now has an established nightlife as well as exquisite historical antique homes. Lafayette Square has also enjoyed the same type of success as Soulard. It is still in the middle of a high crime area, but is populated by upper-class people with beautiful homes with elaborate wrought iron fences and intricate security systems. This trend of fixing up old flats is spreading out from the areas of Soulard and Lafayette Square to neighboring communities at a rapid pace. The Compton Heights area is coming back with rebuilt old Victorian styled houses and private gated streets that contrast the French styled flats of Soulard. The Shaw and Tower Grove area are also following the lead of revitalization similar to these charming old neighborhoods.
Jane Golden demonstrates the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Mural Art Program that has changed the appearance of the city in a positive way and that gives people a way to embrace how they feel. While Harriet F. Senie in Reframing Public Art and is stating that most public art is being ignored by people and is slipping away into urban-scape. Public art is often ignored art, we don’t know how those pieces of art are actually successful. Public art such as sculptures
In this semester, we have visited three public art agencies of NYC, which are the Percent for Art Program, the MTA’s Arts for Transit program, and Creative Time. These public art organizations commission public art to the public. They integrate and apply arts to sites through process and research based on artists’ practices. Public art agencies have similar goal that is to put artworks in appropriate sites and to get response from audiences. In this paper, I will discuss the three agencies we visited vary in rules of agency and patronage practices.
In a case similar to Fraser, a student was sent home twice for wearing a Marilyn Manson t-shirt with a three-faced Jesus on the back. The t-shirt also referenced biblical statements that were deemed inappropriate and disruptive to the learning environment. The court found that the school had the right to impose action for words or phrases that were considered vulgar and offensive. Just as with the Fraser case, the ethical significance is that students do not have the right to wear articles of clothing that depict messages or images in an offensive, public manner.
My most impressive aspect about this facility is the way the shop and the golf course is set up to their guest. In the shop they have a area that allows people from the public to come in and watch golf or just lounge around in the lounge area. They even have a few golf related games on the inside for the younger crowd they attract. I also admire how the club looks into making everyone around the community happy by giving free lessons out on special occasions.
Over the course of my observations of McComas Gym’s weight room, it was easy to figure out what type of audience would be interested in my essay. Based off this audience, I developed a persona who represents the weight room community by combining many of the characteristics I observed in individuals in the weight room. My developed persona is an ideal representative of an “insider” to the weight room community, as well as a representative of my essay’s audience.
A gym as defined by the Oxford Dictionary states that it is a “membership organization that provides a range of facilities designed to improve and maintain physical fitness and health.” Within our society, the culture of a gym or health club is comprised of those who wish to maintain their physical health, as well as form a bond for like-minded people to support one another with their health goals within a shared environment. I have chosen to observe and understand the culture that embodies the Westford Regency Health Club, a local Massachusetts gym with higher than average membership pric es and a higher end reputation in comparison to the average franchised gym, such as Planet Fitness. I chose this particular gym for the sole fact that it is labeled as a “health club,” rather than a gym, which brings about the notion that it is somehow superior in regards to its facilities and membership privileges. For my research, I used an inductive method including participant-observation, as well as field notes gathered from my visits as a new member.
factor in the final decision. This quantitative method helps determine the best solution for the organization to meet its goals and objectives. The alternative that will garner the most public support is the 2 percent sales tax increase on selective goods and services, such as cigarettes and alcohol. This action will impact fewer citizens and today’s culture highlights healthier living. Implementation of Alternative This summarizes what the Pelham City Council and school board can adopt to prevent children in the northeast subdivisions being “bused” an hour from their homes while simultaneously ensuring Pelham’s schools have the funds to guarantee financial sustainability in their schools.
‘City Life – What’s the Plan for Melbourne’ written by Rod Urban, the senior director of Zenith Construction, is an article published in a weekend lifestyle magazine issued by a large newspaper. It tries to convince the reader that instead of having ‘random’ suburban estates full of excessively large houses we should have a well-planned inner city. The audience for this professional and assertive sounding piece are Melbournians who love their city.
