Flyer for auction of housing estate subdivision in Mount Waverley, 1951, with plan showing street names including Brand, Quaintance, St John Wood, Russell, High, Allister. Note that Russel Street is now named Armstrong Street, as explained in the Waverley Streets Database.
"Probably named after Jim Armstrong who worked on the property owned by Harry Russell Hore before subdivison. This street was originally shown as Russell St. on the subdivision plan and the Morgans 39th but the name was changed because of confusion with another Russell St, South East (off Forster Rd). QQQ. Lots at the western end formed part of the Pickwick estate."

Plants planted for leaves and regularly harvested. Musa balbisiana Colla (BBB Group) or Musa (BBB Group). Musaceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Pisang galla, Pisang benggala, Pisang batu, Biu batu (Bali), Pisang klotok (Jawa; sharing name with Musa acuminata Colla (ABB Group) 'Pisang Awak', likely the seedy cultivar.), Kluai taanee, Kluai tani (Thai กล้วยตานี)], Balbis banana, Starchy banana, Mealy banana, Seedy banana, Wild starchy banana, Wild banana type B. A species of wild banana native to eastern South Asia, northern Southeast Asia and southern China that can grow to more than 8 m height. It is one of the progenators of modern cultivated bananas along with Musa acuminata. The species is also the primary genetic relative of B-genome bananas for breeding purposes. The fruit is considered inedible because of the seeds they contain, and often grown for its thick leaves for wrapping food and other uses. In Indonesia the rind of Pisang klotok is thinly sliced along with some of its interior flesh, mixed with other fruits and sauce, called rujak, and the part having the most seeds discarded. In Malaysia, except in the state of Kelantan (or perhaps other eastern states in Peninsular Malaysia), the plant is planted for its thick and resilient broad leaves and the young fruits sometimes harvested for making 'acar' (chutney). The ripe fruit is very sweet and occasionally eaten raw while the hard black seeds spitted out, but most liberally swallowed.

Note:
The vernacular name 'Pisang batu' may also refer to other hybrids and cultivars. Phylogeny is now the methodology used for the classification of the complex Musaceae.
1. Pisang batu (Malaysia) is Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla (ABBB Group) cv. 'Tiparot'
2. Pisang batu (Indonesia) is Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla (ABB Group) cv. 'Bluggoe' or ?"Pisang kates"

With an economy dependent upon agricultural exports, it seemed appropriate that most of Australia's scientific research should be concentrated in areas related to primary industry, though government support was sometimes slow in coming. William Farrer's rescue of the wheat industry has entered our national mythology. CSIR, Australia's national research organisation, was established within this framework - mirroring the economic relationship with Britain. Just as Australia would concentrate on the production of raw materials, importing manufactured goods from Britain, so Australian science would focus on primary industry related research, importing theoretical developments. However, David Rivett, CSIR's visionary leader, always sought to balance such utilitarian work with fundamental research. In areas like wool research, Australia gradually moved beyond work focussed on the health of sheep, to sheep genetics and wool products - making international contributions in both areas.

I went to a lecture on designing sustainable services, such as food access and distribution initiatives. Interesting because when I think about sustainable design I usually think of physical structures, yet the lecture imparted that services too need to start being designed in a sustainable manner also.

A business-as-usual future is unsustainable. As we come to appreciate the challenges of climate change it is clear that the task of creating a sustainable economy requires more than incremental improvements in environmental efficiency, it demands radical innovation.
Francois Jégou is the first visitor in a series bringing leading international thinkers on eco-innovation to Australia: "ECO-LEAD" (organised by Sustainability Victoria and the Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab - VEIL).
Jégou is an important European designer; he is also a European expert in sustainability strategies. His expertise is derived from understanding that ideas of, and solutions for, sustainability are complex transformations that take place between multiple stakeholders, involving both social and technical innovation.
The art of being a strategic sustainable designer is to understand, hear and consider all stakeholder voices in the innovation process.
Francois work has focused on user-centred innovation, and design-oriented scenario development, envisaging new ways for companies to interact with consumers to create and instigate radical product innovation. In a similar way to the VEIL project, Jégou uses scenarios to investigate unknown outcomes and to provide an understanding of radical changes that may take place in the future. He is a partner with Ezio Manzini (a future ECO-LEAD visitor) in the global project known as "The Sustainable Every Day" which brings together visions of a sustainable future from extensive workshops in more than 18 countries.
Francois works from the top down and bottom up, looking at how small and medium enterprises can, through partnerships with other stakeholders and their clients (users), 'co-design' for sustainable futures, and create ‘new’ innovation opportunities. His participatory design methods help all stakeholders think outside of the box and understand solutions from multiple stakeholder views (company and user). Francois also understands that business cannot devise ‘new’ eco-innovation without consumer adoption. Thus much of his work is bottom up, searching social innovations to recognise new possibilities for the creation of sustainable lifestyles and the consequent products and services innovation, that may co-evolve.
Jégou has been working in sustainable production and consumption as a designer for many years and brings experience and thinking of many of the European union and UNEP funded research projects on product-service-systems, product innovation and sustainable consumption. This work has crossed many different sectors such as eco-packaging, health systems, senior friendly products, food design, and workplace design, involving practice-based work and research investigation. His extensive and diverse client base includes: EDF; MasterCard; Carrefour; Monprix; 3M; Boch; Ikea; Sony; Zanussi; KPN Orange; Roche Consumer Health; Saab; BMW; Coca-Cola; Douwe Egberts; Commune di Milano; Société de Developpement de la Region Bruxelloise.
VEIL is supported by the Sustainability Fund and the Victorian government, as a project of the Australian Centre for Science Innovation and Society at the University of Melbourne, in partnership with Monash University and RMIT.
Speaker: Mr François Jégou

Took some time out today to see a public dissection of a Giant Squid at the Museum of Victoria. The squid was caught by commercial fishermen off the coast of Portland in Victoria, May 26, 2008. Recognising it was an unusual find they put the specimen on ice and contacted the Department of Primary Industries (I assume this because some of the first images on the boat I see are credit to Paul McCoy of DPI.)
The shots you see following are what I recorded in a dimly lit auditorium in the Science and Life Gallery. Later on, closer shots where allowed under better lighting conditions.
The dissection was undertaken by Dr Mark Norman (not pictured) Deputy Head of Science (Marine Zoology) and a team of scientists (find) at the Museum of Victoria. Dr Mark is a bit of a Squid nerd and a pretty good public speaker.
Love the comparison between the scientists, elbow deep in Squid and the Channel Nine Journo doing her piece to air for the nightly news.

'GLOBAL MIND PROJECT: Spectacle of the Mind’ - Stelarc performance, 2010. Federation Square, Melbourne.
Karen Casey, composite image from video stills 2011.
“Stelarc’s observation of his own screen phantom, which lacks qualia and conscious experience, morphs here into self projected as a being, becoming, affecting, in an animated dance of diverse facial contours and expressions. The divided screen represents the split-body evident in some of Stelarc’s earlier performances and reveals an encounter between actual and virtual, voluntary and involuntary, physical and non-physical states, image and self. Since the Prosthetic Head mirrors its human counterpart in looks, speech and facial expressions, it highlights how identity and language become fragmented, transformed, dispersed, multiple, hybrid and distorted in communications culture. Stelarc’s performance raises the very question of where mind and consciousness are located, since there is proximity and distance between his actual body and the on-screen image. Mind, perceived to be located in one body is actually dispersed into the (albeit virtual) body of another, echoing numerous encounters and interactions that we have over the Internet. Since the Prosthetic Head has no brain but verifies evidence of mind through language, expression and behavior, we are left wondering how this reflects mind and self, since the self-encountered is a mask or screen on which identity is projected.”
