Stephen Stockwell's first article in an academic journla was the "Kuranda Police Shooting" in 1981. It was published in the February edition of the Legal Service Bulletin. To find this, I searched through the Griffith University library database search.

The character of Govenor Slugwell first appeared in three different strips in the comic, Flaming Carrot Comics in issue 11 by Bob Burden. He appeared in these in the years of 1985 and 1986. To find this, I used the "Underground and Independent Comic" database.

"When the Shoes Aren't Worth the Shine", by Bob Burden In Flaming Carrot Comics, no. 7. (Renegade Press, 1985). page(s) 3-31

The latest medical thinking about the risks of using a mobile phone are that it may cause cancer/tumors due to the radiation coming from the phone. It is a theory that is very hard to prove because of the other possible radiation waves that humans come in contact with every day.

The "Blade Runner," When Holden asks Leon about his mother, Leon's reaction is quite interesting. He does not answer the question at hand, but "looks shocked, surprised" (Fancher & Hampton 1938, p. 4).

Two internet communities that have faded from their popularity are MySpace and Friendster. MySpace is a social networking site that allowed you to be friends with other people, share photos, music, and watch videos. It had pages that could be dedicated to your artists and musicians as well. MySpace saw up to 115.7 million users. It began to decrease because of the birth of Facebook which took over the social networking scene. I would call MySpace a stepping stone to the social networking sites that we have now. It had all of the great ideas, it just wasn't managed as properly and had a lot of problems with privacy.

Friendster is also a social networking site mainly seen in Europe. It was originally an online dating website. It had about 115 million users but did plummet since the early 2000s due to technical problems and the distrust in the site. Also, new websites were established that surpassed Friendster and the online dating purpose of the website had since been left behind.
