The idea was born out of an Australian Bicentenary event, "Clean-Up Lake Macquarie", which was instigated in 1987 by Ivan Welsh as Mayor of Lake Macquarie. Then followed the local "Clean Up Sydney Harbour" event in 1989, organized by Ian Kiernan and Kim McKay, with more than 40,000 volunteers who collected some 5,000 tonnes of rubbish. The 1990 Clean Up Australia Day event was launched by the then prime minister, Bob Hawke, over the initial opposition of the then state premier, Nick Greiner. Greiner later reversed his position and offered his support for the event.Clean Up Australia has evolved into an organisation that works with community, government and businesses to provide practical solutions to help us all live more sustainably every day of the year.Today the organisation's focus is as much on preventing rubbish entering the environment as it is removing what has already accumulated there.

kiernan;rubbish;clean up australia "The Rubbish Report" is produced each year from data collected by surveying participants. As of 1990, 94% of rubbish was from packaging. By 1993, the campaign was focusing more strongly on sorting the rubbish collected into recyclables, and Kiernan was using Clean Up Australia Day to advocate for changes to legislation surrounding reduction of packaging and returning packaging to companies. In 1994, over 8,000 sites were cleaned up as part of the day. In 2008, Kiernan put a focus on bottled water, advocating for the expansion of container deposit refunds in Australia. In 2012, sponsorship cutbacks and a drop in private donations caused the organisation to let go all of its paid staff.

qrf;operaciones;especiales;comando;copes Colombian National Police Special Operations Command (Spanish: Comando de Operaciones Especiales, COPES) is a subdivision of the Colombian National Police under the Directorate for Citizens Security. This Special Operations unit functions as a Quick reaction force (QRF) for Police operations and as a permanent training field for personnel.

cali;interdiction;medellin cartel;medellin;cartel;cali cartel;urbano Founded in 1984 with the main purpose of having a highly trained, capable and equipped group for quick reaction to high risk or crisis situations. Officers in the grade of lieutenants and captains in the Colombian National Police were selected to receive training in Europe and the United States. Its first operation was in 1986 during the Palace of Justice siege, taken over by the M-19 guerrilla. The Urban Interdiction Group (Grupo de Interdiccion Urbano) was heavily trained in urban assault techniques. This unit also became part of operations involving the War on Drugs against the Colombian drug cartels like the Medellin Cartel between 1989 and 1994 and the Cali Cartel between 1996 and 1999 with very positive outcomes. The Special Operations Command constantly improves techniques and equipment in order to maintain an advantage over possible criminal actions against civilians and infrastructure.

cochise;cochise tradition The Cochise tradition (also Cochise culture) is the southern archeological tradition of the four Southwestern Archaic traditions, in the present-day Southwestern United States.

playa;cochise;chiricahua;pedro;willcox;willcox playa;sulphur spring;mogollon;mimbres;hohokam;cochise tradition;sulphur The Cochise tradition lasted nearly five millennia, from circa 5000 until circa 200 BC. Its earliest manifestation is known as Sulphur Spring; its two later phases, the Chiricahua and San Pedro, are much better known. The Cochise tradition was named after Lake Cochise, an ancient lake now found in the Willcox Playa of Cochise County, Arizona. The Cochise tradition appears to be ancestral to the prehistoric Mogollon (Mimbres) and Hohokam traditions.

cochise;picosa culture;cynthia irwin-williams;cynthia;picosa;cochise tradition The Cochise tradition is part of the Picosa culture, which encapsulates the Archaic lifestyles of people from three locations with interconnected artifacts and lifestyles. It was named by Cynthia Irwin-Williams in the 1960s for those areas: Pinto Basin (PI), Cochise tradition (CO), and San Jose (SA), which together are called "Picosa".

chiricahua Chiricahua phase

cochise;chiricahua;ventana cave;ventana Chiricahua Cochise tools include a variety of projectile points and many seed-processing artifacts. The phase has been dated to between about 3500 and 1500 BC, but its beginnings may be much earlier. Its chronology has been formulated on the basis of occupations in the Ventana Cave (near Sells, Arizona) and from other locations in Arizona and western New Mexico.

pedro San Pedro phase

chiricahua;pedro The San Pedro phase follows the Chiricahua phase, characterized by large projectile points with corner or side notches and straight or convex bases. Provisional radiocarbon dates have shown San Pedro flourishing from about 1500 to 200 BC. By this time, the Archaic population of the American Southwest appears to have grown, with groups exploiting a wider range of environmental zones and sometimes living in larger, perhaps more permanent, settlements. Some San Pedro sites contain oval pithouses excavated about 1.6 feet (0.49 m) below ground level. Such dwellings would require considerable effort to build, which would indicate a longer term of occupation. Presumably also San Pedro communities were cultivating maize and other crops.

ngaio;roderick alleyn;broads;john constable;art forgery;alleyn;constables;roderick;ngaio marsh;clutch of constables;norfolk Clutch of Constables is a detective novel by Ngaio Marsh; it is the twenty-fifth novel to feature Roderick Alleyn, and was first published in 1968. The plot concerns art forgery, and takes place on a cruise on a fictional river in the Norfolk Broads; the "Constable" referred to in the title is John Constable, whose works are mentioned by several characters.

marsh's;jewelled;roderick alleyn;john constable;agatha;east anglia;scotland yard;faberge;alleyn;punning;roderick;zodiac;alleyn's;foljambe The novel is structured around a training course Marsh's series detective, Roderick Alleyn of Scotland Yard, is giving to trainee police detectives, with specific reference to his successful identification and capture of the international fraudster, crook and killer The Jampot also known as Foljambe. Meanwhile, Alleyn's celebrity painter wife Agatha Troy has just successfully launched her latest exhibition and, on a whim, takes a canal cruise on the MV Zodiac through Constable country (East Anglia, as in John Constable RA, the old master, not the punning PC constable of the book's title). Her fellow passengers are, of course, the usual assorted bunch of suspects, when the inevitable murder takes place of Hazel Rickerby-Carrick, a needy, tiresome spinster whose diary is her "self-propelling journal" and who indiscreetly boasts of carrying around her neck a fabulous Faberge, jewelled zodiac ornament, which is, of course missing. The passengers, a typical Marsh cast if suspects, include: a literary lepidopterist clearly much smitten by Troy, a pair of gushing American tourists in search of antiques, a sporting Australian clergyman, a London slum landlord with a talent for fine graphics and, finally, a grandly exotic and distinguished surgeon of Afro-European origin, to whom Troy is greatly attracted, and who is the subject of overt racism from several of the passengers. This last character belongs in a series of the author's sympathetically portrayed, grandly classy victims of racism in her novels (cf Vintage Murder', Colour Scheme', Black As He's Painted and her final novel Light Thickens') and it's interesting how often Marsh makes Alleyn or Troy strongly attracted to them. The plot develops around a conspiracy to plant fake Constable paintings in the international art market, and, Alleyn arrives hot-foot to protect his wife, solve the crime, unmask and arrest The Jampot'
