# Melaleuca lara

Melaleuca lara is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to a small area on the west coast of Western Australia. It is similar to Melaleuca ciliosa with its hairy young leaves and heads of yellow flowers ageing to red but there are fewer flowers in each head and the leaves are generally smaller.

## Description

Melaleuca lara is a shrub sometimes growing to 1.5 m (5 ft) tall and wide with branchlets that have soft hairs at first but become glabrous with age. Its leaves are arranged alternately and are 4.5–8.5 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long, 2.8–3.8 mm (0.11–0.15 in) wide, flat, elliptical or egg-shaped and covered with short, soft hairs, especially when young. The oil glands are distinct.
The flowers are bright yellow fading to red, arranged in heads on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering and sometimes also in the upper leaf axils. The heads are up to 25 mm (1 in) in diameter with 2 to 5 groups of flowers in threes. The petals are 1.9–3 mm (0.07–0.1 in) long and fall off as the flower ages. There are five bundles of stamens around the flower, each with 9 to 13 stamens. Flowering occurs in early spring and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules, 4–5.5 mm (0.2–0.2 in) long in loose clusters along the stem.

## Taxonomy and naming

Melaleuca lara was first formally described in 1999 by Lyndley Craven in Australian Systematic Botany from a specimen near the Z Bend lookout on the Murchison River in the Kalbarri National Park. The specific epithet (lara) is derived from the Ancient Greek word laros meaning "agreeable", "pleasant" or "lovely" referring to the flowers of this plant species.

## Distribution and habitat

Melaleuca lara occurs in the Kalbarri district in the Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic region. It grows in sand in heath on sandplains near river gorges.

## Conservation status

Melaleuca lara is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.
# Rhodie

Rhodie is a colloquial term typically applied to a white Zimbabwean or expatriate Rhodesian.

## Origins of the term

The term Rhodie was first used by British Army and civil service personnel in Rhodesia (renamed Zimbabwe in 1980) during the period between the Lancaster House Agreement of December 1979 and the formal independence of Zimbabwe in April 1980. The term was initially applied to all white Zimbabweans. After independence, the term began to be applied increasingly to those whites who were nostalgic for the past. The nostalgia a Rhodie feels relates particularly to the UDI era (1965 to 1979), in which they fought significant socialist and communist insurgencies, and during which the predominantly white government, headed by the Prime Minister Ian Smith, declared independence from Britain in an attempt to prevent any commitment to a set timetable regarding black majority rule. The UDI project ended in the Bush War of the 1970s, fought between the Rhodesian Security Forces and the communist-backed black nationalist insurgents of the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA).

## Current usage of the term
### Implications of racism and violence

Usage of the term Rhodie changed further in post-independence Zimbabwe. It began to be applied to a white Zimbabwean regardless of ethnic descent or country of origin. An image published in The Sunday Times Magazine in 1984 showed a poster near Harare reading "Private Party Invitation Only No Drugs No Rhodies No Racists No Troublemakers Allowed on These Premises".

#### Rhodie bar

A Rhodie bar is an establishment frequented by Rhodies and is often decorated with memorabilia of the UDI era and the Rhodesian Bush War.

# Riverina Times

The Riverina Times is an English language newspaper published in Hay, New South Wales, from November 1900 until 1902.
The full title of the newspaper was Riverina Times, Hay Standard and Journal of Water Conservation. It was published by John Andrew (1828 - 1902), a publisher and newspaper-proprietor at Deniliquin and Hay from the 1860s. The Riverina Times was essentially a continuation of The Hay Standard, first published at Hay in 1871.

## History

In October 1900 John Andrew purchased The Hay Standard (of which he had been founding publisher in the early 1870s); he renamed the newspaper The Hay Standard, Riverina Times and Journal of Water Conservation and relocated the office from Lachlan Street to Alma Street. The last issue of The Hay Standard was published on Wednesday, 28 November 1900; the very next day John Andrew published the first issue of his new publication, with the re-arranged title Riverina Times, Hay Standard and Journal of Water Conservation. Even though this newspaper carried the main title of Riverina Times, Andrew obviously considered it a continuation of the newspaper he had started in 1871 as the new publication carried a banner reading "Thirtieth Year of Publication". John Andrew included the following information in the first issue of the Riverina Times:
John Andrew died in March 1902 at his residence ‘Tioma’, in Alma Street, Hay. The Riverina Times was purchased after Andrew's death and in October 1902 was incorporated into The Riverine Grazier.

# John Price (executioner)

John Price (c. 1677 – 31 May 1718) was an English hangman who was himself hanged for murder. He was born in London and apprenticed at an early age to a dealer in "scraps and rags" until the death of his master two years later. Little else is known of Price's early life except that he went to sea and served on Royal Navy men-of-war.
Price appears to have lived constantly on the edge of the law; on one occasion in 1715, after executing three men at Tyburn, he was arrested for debt. His earnings, tips, and sales that day helped him to avoid prison, but eventually his financial problems led to his imprisonment in Marshalsea, in Southwark, London. After a few months of incarceration, Price and an accomplice managed to escape by digging a hole in the prison wall. Shortly afterwards in 1718 he killed a man, and then savagely attacked and beat a woman named Elizabeth White in Bunhill Fields; she died of her injuries four days later. Price was apprehended and found guilty of her murder. He was held in Newgate Prison for five weeks before his execution on 31 May 1718. The Weekly Journal reported an account by the hangman that a few days before Price's execution he had raped a young girl who had taken food to his cell.
