Canberra is located in the lands of the Ngunnawal indigenous people, it is thought that it was named after the aboriginal word Kamberra which means meeting place. In 1908 it was decided to build a new capital at Canberra, in 1912 Walter Burley Griffin (contestant 29) won the competition to design the capital city, there were 137 entrants in total. The city is located 150 kilometres inland, 660 kilometres from Melbourne and 281 kilometres from Sydney. In 1913 the foundation stone of Canberra was laid by the prime minister of the time Andrew Fisher.

The search of Otzi’s identity was still not over, when archaeologist decided to performed CT scan on Iceman for more evidence. Results on Otzi's CT scan revealed that he was on heavy dose of dried mushrooms. This mushroom is called “Birch Polymorph,” which was used as a pain killer ages ago, also containing similar components that Advil consist of, advertised by modern researchers. It's amazing to see how Otzi found natural resources of mushrooms to reduce his pain. In today's era we rely on visiting the doctors and taking experts advice, when in pain, whereas Otzi was his own doctor.

Anthropologists and archaeologists have paid little attention to the origin of music and musicality even language or arts. Although art has remained seen as a key of cognitive complexity and language as an essential tool of communication, music has suffered from our insight that it is an “epiphenomenal” ease activity and archaeologically inaccessible to boot. Music is the language of emotion. In The Singing Neanderthals, Mithen leads us to the science that might support such general concepts. Through equal parts scientific care and appeal, Mithen organizes current evidence about social organization, tool and weapon technologies, hunting and scavenging strategies, habits and brain capacity of all our hominid ancestors, from australopithecines
Sound is embodied in the black body whether it be in everyday conversation, intimate exchanges with a loved one, heart wrenching calls, or music rendered from the soul. Sound is essential to living beings as both a primary and secondary sense used to interact with the world. Sound enables communication. Communication creates community. Community leads to emotional connections and understanding.
Okapi Meet an animal who was not discovered until the early 20th century! Unlike many others, the okapi, native to it’s “hidden” habit of the Ituri Rainforest in central Africa, used its unique physical appearance and shy, elusive personality to outsmart researchers for centuries (“Okapi”-A-Z Animals). A relative of the well-known giraffe, the okapi proves to be one of the most unique, interesting, and confusing animals in the world. Many of us have seen a horse, a donkey, or a zebra at the zoo. On the first sight of an okapi, one would think it is a cross-breed of the three!

For me, I believe the background and the stories behind Kitsune will be some of more unique ones for a mythical creature. I believe it is unique because even if the stories of Kitsune is not real, most if its story can be related to real life situations. For example, the trickster Kitsune will often steal or play tricks on anyone who acts very boastful. That can be related to real life by anyone who acts the same way in modern society. Anyone who often shows their achievements or possessions out in public are more than likely to get robbed or get trick by someone.
Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 to Shizuo Ishiguro and Shizuko Ishiguro (née Michida). He has his older sister, Fumiko, and also his younger one, Yoko, who was born later in England. While his father was not a typical Japanese man since he had been born in Shanghai, his mother is an epitome of Japanese woman, having some classical manners which were permeated in Japan of that time (Hunnewell n.p.). They lived in the traditional Japanese house with tatami, zabuton, and katana (see Fig. 1). Kazuo’s memories of his life there are so clear that he can recollect the conversations, the outings, his kindergarten, and even the geographies of the resident area at that time (Holland n.p.; Shonaka, Kazuo Ishiguro; see Fig. 2).
Kenya is one of the most developing countries in East Africa. It is positioned right along the equator on the Eastern coast. The capital city of Kenya is Nairobi.

Music: A way to convey one’s emotions to others through different notes and rhythms. Though not many people can create this form of art, anybody can enjoy, and interpret it in their own way. All music takes talent to write, but as time has passed, it is a common opinion that music has lost the meaning behind it. In order to make it to the top of the charts, the talent needed has declined. The lyrical meaning, as well as the feeling in the notes has all lost the amount of meaning it once contained.
