Literature Review Introduction Pedestrian induced lateral vibrations of footbridges have been observed for several decades. More recently, long span footbridges around the world have experienced unacceptable levels of lateral vibration, and more locally have included the Paris Solferino and London Millennium bridges in 1999 and 2000 respectively. As a consequence, research has been carried out as to the causes of this lateral vibration, and in particular, to a phenomenon termed ‘synchronous lateral

The Structure of the Millennium Bridge Introduction In June 2002 the Millennium Bridge was opened to the public. This was going to be an extraordinary day for engineers as new designs and structures had to be used to keep to the specifications of the job.

Rebellion Against Society in A Doll's House An underlying theme in A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, is the rebellion against social expectations to follow what one believes in their heart. This theme is demonstrated as several of the play's characters break away from the social norms of their time and act on their own beliefs. No one character demonstrates this better than Nora. Nora rebels against social expectations, first by breaking the law, and later by taking the drastic step of abandoning

Islanders have some of the worst health outcomes in comparison to any other indigenous community in the world (AIHW, 2011). According to United Nations official Anand Grover, Aboriginal health conditions are even worse than some Third World countries (Arup & Sharp, 2009), which is astonishing, considering Australia is one of the worlds wealthiest countries. Thoroughly identifying the causes and analysing every aspect behind poor health of indigenous Australians, and Australian health in general, is near
