Gallipoli (1981 movie)

Gallipoli is a 1981 Australian movie.  It is directed by Peter Weir and stars Mel Gibson and Mark Lee.  It is about several young men from rural Western Australia who join the Australian Army during the First World War. They are sent to the peninsula of Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire.  They take part in the Gallipoli Campaign.  Over time the young men lose their innocence about the purpose of war.  The climax of the movie occurs on the Anzac battlefield at Gallipoli.  It shows the futile attack at the Battle of the Nek on 7 August 1915.

Gallipoli is a faithful portrayal of life in Australia in the 1910s. It captures the ideals and character of the Australians who joined up to fight, as well as the conditions they endured on the battlefield.  It does, however, change events for dramatic purposes.  It has a number of significant historical inaccuracies.

The many running scenes in the movie are set to Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygène.

Gallipoli was successful at the box office earning $11,740,000. Gallipoli was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film.

The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory

The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory is a book published in 1984 by psychoanalyst and historian Jeffrey Masson. In the book, Masson criticizes Austrian neurologist (a person who treats the nervous system) Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) for abandoning the seduction theory, which held that neurotic illness in adults and adolescents was a result of their being sexually abused before puberty. Freud said that his patients confabulated the molestations and then rejected this theory. Masson says that Freud's original view was the correct one.

ANZ Championship

The ANZ Championship is the most famous netball league in the world. The competition is held once a year between April and July.  There are 69 matches played over 17 weeks. There are ten teams, five from Australia and five from New Zealand. ANZ Bank is the sponsor of the competition.

The ANZ Championship was started in 2008.  It replaced the Commonwealth Bank Trophy in Australia and the National Bank Cup in New Zealand.  Both of which were retired after 2007. The ANZ Championship saw netball become a semi-professional sport in both countries.  There was more media coverage and higher player salaries. The current champions are the Queensland Firebirds, who defeated the Northern Mystics in the grand final of the 2011 season.

A-League Women

A-League Women, known before the 2021–22 season as the W-League, is the main women's semi-professional football (soccer) league in Australia. Started in 2008, it currently has 10 teams, nine in Australia and the other in New Zealand. Eight of the Australian teams and the New Zealand team are partners with clubs in A-League Men. The other team is based in Canberra. Because it is sponsored by Liberty Lending Group, an Australian financial services company, the League is called Liberty A-League Women.

A-League Women started on 25 October 2008 as the W-League.

One game per week is broadcast live nationwide on ABC1.

As of the 2021–22 season, teams in A-League Women have a salary cap of A$450,000 for the entire squad. By comparison, the salary cap for clubs in the men's competition, A-League Men, is A$2.1 million, with each team in that league allowed to sign two "marquee players" whose salaries do not count against the cap.

The league began with eight teams. The Central Coast Mariners had to withdraw from the 2010–11 season.  This was because they did not have enough money. Western Sydney Wanderers FC joined the league for 2012–13, followed by Melbourne City FC in 2015–16 and the league's first New Zealand side, Wellington Phoenix FC, in 2021–22. Central Coast Mariners FC will return to A-League Women in 2022–23, and Western United FC will add an A-League Women side in 2022–23.

Hypermobility

Hypermobility refers to when human joints stretch further than is usual. For example, some people can bend their thumbs back to their wrist, their toes backwards, put their leg behind their heads or any other ways of unusual performances. This condition can affect a particular joint or many joints throughout the human body. Hypermobility often results from one or more body issues: misaligned joints, abnormally shaped ends of one or more bones near a joint or other body issues. The same defect also results in weaker than normal bones, which may lead to osteoperosis or bone fracture. This condition is often described with the term double jointed. Some people who are hypermobile carry no other health matters.

Bayville, New York

Bayville is an incorporated village on the north shore of Nassau County on Long Island, in the state of New York.  The 2010 census showed that 6,669 people lived there, down from 7,213 in 2009.  Bayville was purchased from the Native Americans (the Matinecock tribe) by Daniel Whitehead in 1658.

In the 1800s, Bayville was mostly used for asparagus farming.  Five or six men owned large sections of Bayville and made their living from farming asparagus.  One of those men was Nicholas Godfrey, a native of Cape May township in New Jersey.  At the height of his land ownership, Godfrey owned more than half of Bayville's land.  Godfrey died in 1899. He is buried in the Bayville Cemetery.  He was a Lieutenant for the Union Army during the Civil War. He was also an inventor and he was Bayville's first postmaster in 1877.

The village wasn't named "Bayville" until 1859.  Before that, the village had two names.  The western and middle parts were called "Oak Neck". The eastern part was called "Pine Island".

Bayville's total area is 1.5 square miles.  1.4 is made up of land and .1 is made up of water.  Frank M. Flower & Sons, Inc. is Bayville's only commercial business. It has been there since 1887.  Bayville got electricity in 1906.  The Bayville Bridge that is there today is the fourth bridge.  The first bridge there was built in 1898.  Before that, people went between Bayville to Oyster Bay by water taxi.
