Home Fire Safety Checks in New South Wales: An economic evaluation of the pilot program
Traumatic events such as fire can result in fatality, injury, and loss of property; even a minor fire can interrupt the normal flow of people’s lives. During the years 2009–2013, urban and regional New South Wales (NSW) experienced an annual average of 4329 residential structural fires with 593 injuries and 22 fatalities at an annual cost of $656 million dollars. In 2014, Fire and Rescue NSW piloted a program called Home Fire Safety Checks (HFSC)…
Something will come of nothing: An empirical model of negation for prose literature
One manner in which a writer involves the reader with a text is through the use of negative language. The reader becomes involved on two levels: firstly at a linguistic level, a negative message needs extra time to decode, and secondly, at an emotional level, we must come to terms with the emotional response the negative message has incurred. Therefore, explicitly negative language engages linguistic, psychological and cognitive processes, which …

Patterns of Black Protest in Jamaica: The Case of the Ras-Tafarians
The Ras-Tafarians of Jamaica are, sociopolitically speaking, one of the most interesting protest movements ever to emerge in the West Indies. Yet, they are also one of the most misunderstood. This paper attempts to throw some light on the sociological and political implications of this bourgeoning social movement by pointing to the fact that it is not possible to fully understand the movement without reference to social stratification, economic d…
Social Structure and Social Movements: The Black Muslims in the U. S. A. and the Ras-Tafarians in Jamaica
This paper examines, by exegetical analysis, two contemporary social movements occurring in two different social structures. It seeks to throw light on the sociological categories of protest and discontent, and the relationship between these and social structural variables such as status situation. The Ras-Tafarians in Jamaica and the Black Muslims in the U.S.A. both openly reject their society. Adherents to these movements have created their own…
