‘For deterring others from the like practices’
Of the many types of offenders who suffered the punishment of the pillory in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in England, one distinct group was those whose crimes related to the Royal Navy. The Navy's decision to pursue offenders in civilian courts, coupled with its decision to report on offenders, illustrates the importance the Navy placed on the pillory and the civilian courts in curbing fraud, which became a rampant issue from the mid…

Unjust Readings
Unjust Readings: Against the New New Criticism" offers a theoretical and methodological defence of the use of digital humanities methods for literary interpretation. I argue that extant critiques of DH from Fish, Da, Eyers and others depend on an unexamined notion of the appropriate work of the humanities and, in particular, of literary interpretation. Their claim, that critics should simply "just read" obscures the manner in which literary inter…

Downward transfer of support and care
The Chinese culture of filial piety has historically emphasised children's responsibility for their ageing parents. Little is understood regarding the inverse: parents’ responsibility and care for their adult children. This paper uses interviews with 50 families living in rural China's Anhui Province to understand intergenerational support in rural China. Findings indicate that parents in rural China take on large financial burdens in order to su…

Furthermore, the monological dimensions of Clarke’s writing challenge notions of multicultural recognition and understanding through dialogue. In a manner that reflects Clarke’s own experience wi…

Most historians would agree in affirming the importance of transportation in facilitating urban decentralization. However, less is known about the important role of transportation experts in constructing and managing each city's transportation network. This paper explores the role of engineering experts in guiding development of 3 forms of urban transportation facilities and networks: streetcars, highways, and airports. The evolution of the stati…

Secular changes in the heights and weights of Western Australian primary school children
Anthropometric data for 6864 primary school children from the metropolitan area of Perth, Western Australia, were compared with figures compiled in 1940 for a similar sample from the same area. In the 31 year period, 5–13 year old males increased, on average, by approximately 3·5% in height in each 1 year age group and, in weight, between 8·7% at 5·5 years to 14% by 12·5 years. Over the same period girls of similar age showed height increases wit…
