Australian Aborigines (, Aboriginal Australians) are those people regarded as indigenous to the Australian continent.

In the High Court of Australia, Australian Aborigines have been specifically identified as a group of people who share, in common, biological ancestry back to the original occupants of the continent.

Justice Deane of the High Court famously described and defined an Australian Aboriginal person as "a person of Aboriginal descent, albeit mixed, who identifies himself as such and who is recognized by the Aboriginal community as an Aboriginal".

Since 1995 the Australian Aboriginal Flag (above right), designed in 1971 by Aboriginal artist Harold Thomas, has been one of the official "Flags of Australia".

Definitions from Australian Aborigines

Eve Fesl, a Gabi Gabi woman, wrote in the ''Aboriginal Law Bulletin'' describing how she and other Australian Aborigines preferred to be identified:

While the term 'indigenous' is being more commonly used by Australian Government and non-Government organizations to describe Aboriginal Australians, Lowitja O'Donoghue AC, CBE, commenting on the prospect of possible amendments to Australia's constitution, was reported as saying:

}}

O'Donoghue went on to say that the term ''indigenous'' robbed the traditional owners of Australia of an identity because some non-Aboriginal people now wanted to refer to themselves as indigenous because they were born there.

Definitions from academia

Dean of Indigenous Research and Education at Charles Darwin University, Professor MaryAnn Bin-Sallik, has publicly lectured on the ways Australian Aborigines have been categorised and labelled over time. Her lecture offered a new perspective on the terms ''urban'', ''traditional'' and ''of Indigenous descent'' as used to define and categorise Aboriginal Australians. She said:

She called for a replacement of this terminology by the word: ''Aborigine'' or ''Torres Strait Islander'', "irrespective of hue."

Groups of Aborigines

Four hundred and more distinct Australian Aboriginal peoples have been identified across the Australian continent, each distinguished by unique names for groups of people's ancestral languages, dialects, or distinctive speech mannerisms.

Other names used by Australian Aboriginal people

There are a number of other names from Australian Aboriginal languages commonly used to identify groups based on geography:

Koori (or Koorie) in New South Wales and Victoria

Murri in southern Queensland

Noongar in southern Western Australia

Nunga in southern South Australia

Anangu in northern South Australia, and neighbouring parts of Western Australia and Northern Territory

Palawah (or Pallawah) in Tasmania.

Larissa Behrendt (born 1 April 1969) is an Aboriginal Australian academic and writer. She is currently a Professor of Law and Indigenous Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney.

Behrendt completed a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Juris at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 1992, and in the same year she was admitted by the Supreme Court of New South Wales to practice as a solicitor. Behrendt then travelled to the United States, where she completed a Master of Laws at Harvard Law School in 1994, and a Doctor of Juridical Science from the same institution in 1998. In 2000 she was admitted by the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory to practice as a barrister.

During her stay at Harvard Law School, Behrendt also worked in Canada with a range of First Nations organisations. In 1999, she worked with the Assembly of First Nations in developing a gender equality policy, and she also represented the Assembly at the United Nations. The same year she did a study for the Slavey people comparing native title developments in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Since 1998, Behrendt has been a member of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), and was appointed to the Institute's Research Advisory Council in 2000. Between 2000 and 2002, Behrendt worked with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, developing various policies, and in 2000 she worked with Mick Dodson at the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation developing a reconciliation policy and draft reconciliation legislation.

Behrendt has written extensively on legal and indigenous social justice issues. She has published two books, ''Aboriginal Dispute Resolution'' (1995) and ''Achieving Social Justice'' (2003), and has written many articles for Australian and Canadian legal journals. Behrendt has also written a novel, ''Home'', which won the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards, David Unaipon Award in 2002, and the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Novel in the South East Asian/South Pacific region in 2005. She also won the award for outstanding achievement in literature in the 2004 Deadlys. She has been a director of the Sydney Writers' Festival since 2002.

UNSW awarded Behrendt the Alumni of the Year Award in 1993, and she is now a life member of the alumni association. Also in 1993, she was the winner of the Lionel Murphy Foundation Scholarship. In 2002, Behrendt was the co-recipient of the inaugural Neville Bonner National Teaching Award. Behrendt has taught at UNSW, the Australian National University, and the University of Technology, Sydney, where she has been a member of the University's Council since 2002.

Controversy

Comments made by Behrendt on the website Twitter disparaging Alice Springs aboriginal elder Bess Price have been the subject of ongoing controversy. While watching crude TV series Deadwood, Behrendt replied to a comment on the site expressing outrage at Price's appearance on the ABC TV Q&A expressing support for the Northern Territory intervention, writing "I watched a show where a guy had sex with a horse and I'm sure it was less offensive than Bess Price." After initially defending the comment as taken out of context, Behrendt apologized by email to Mrs Price, who said the comment showed Behrendt was out of touch with rural Aborigines. Behrendt says the throwaway comment has made her a target for a campaign of character assassination.

''Lottery'' served as Millers first independent release while ''God's Gift'' served as a soundtrack to a movie with the same name. ''God's Gift'' was also Miller's first album to use the name Romeo and to have explicit language. The two albums were also known for containing Miller's single "U Can't Shine Like Me" which was a direct response to Bow Wow, who fans thought dissed Miller in his song "Fresh Azimiz".

Romeo was invited, in the summer of 2006, to the Reebok-sponsored ABCD Camp, which is considered the premier basketball camp in the United States. The Teaneck, New Jersey-based ABCD Camp is an invitation-only basketball showcase previously attended by high-profile players including Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. Surrounded by future NBA players such as O. J. Mayo, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Love, Miller looked out of place and averaged less than 2 points a game throughout the camp. ''The Wall Street Journal'' made an article on March 8, entitled "A Hot Prospect," cites Sonny Vaccaro, the longtime director of the ABCD Camp, as explaining, "he invited Romeo Miller to the 2006 camp, primarily as a favor to Percy Miller, whom he knew from the club basketball circuit." In the article, Vaccaro indicated, "If you're looking for the profile of an athlete who plays basketball at USC, he's not it."

On April 13, 2007, Miller verbally committed to the University of Southern California (USC) and signed a letter of intent on November 19, 2007.

Miller, a 5'11" point guard, was a four year starter at Beverly Hills High School. As a junior during the 2005–2006 high school season he averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists per game. As a senior during the 2006–2007 high school season he averaged 8.6 points and 9.0 assists per game.

According to ''The Wall Street Journal'', it appears the decision to grant Miller a full scholarship at USC was largely driven by his relationship with friend and teammate Demar DeRozan, the 6-foot-6 All-American forward who was rated as the number five prospect in the country on Scout.com. ''The Wall Street Journal'' reported Coach Tim Floyd as saying, "Last April...Percy Miller called while driving both players from a tournament in Fayetteville, Ark...Percy Miller said 'Demar and Romeo are ready to make their decision, and would you like to have them both on scholarship?'...'I said absolutely.'" Miller and DeRozan began playing in the 2008–2009 season.

Miller had an atrocious career at USC. In his two seasons as a Trojan, he played a total of 19 minutes in 9 games and scored a total of 5 points.

Modeling career

On December 27 Romeo modeled for a new 2011 calendar. On April 10, 2011 Miller modeled for the April issue of ''TROIX'' magazine. On April 12, 2011 Miller modeled again for some new pictures. He also modeled with the singer-songwriter Chynna Terrell.

Dancing with the Stars

After originally withdrawing from season two of ''Dancing with the Stars'' due to an injury, Romeo competed in season 12. He was partnered with professional dancer, Chelsie Hightower. They were eliminated from the show on May 10, 2011 and finished in the Top 5, one week before the semi-final.

In week 7, Donnie Burns was the guest judge and scored the dances.

Personal life

Miller attended Beverly Hills High School in Beverly Hills, California. Romeo sponsors "Loco Tonic", an energy drink he mentions in his newer songs. In 2008, Romeo was ranked No. 18 in the most fit men in the world. Miller was born on Aug. 19, 1989 in New Orleans, La. He is the oldest of seven children from parents Percy, Sr. and Sonya Miller. His father is a business entrepreneur and musician. His father also shares a passion for the game of basketball and signed contracts with the Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors. Percy wears the No. 15 because that is the number his father wore in high school. Miller also believes in giving back to the community and is involved in a variety for charity endeavors and in 2008 along with his father received the key to the city in Memphis in recognition of their "Let the Kids Grow" educational program.

Jerold Irwin "Jerry" Mander (born May 1, 1936) is an American activist and author, best known for his 1977 book, ''Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television''. His most recent book, ''The Superferry Chronicles,'' is about efforts by Hawaiian activists to halt the operation of the Hawaii Superferry.

Life and career

Mander was born in the Bronx, New York City to Harry and Eva Mander. Mander's parents were an immigrant Jewish couple who struggled to achieve success in America:

My parents carried the immigrants' fears. Security was their primary value: all else was secondary. Both of them had escaped pogroms in Eastern Europe. My father's career had followed the path familiar to so many New York immigrants. Lower East Side. Scant schooling. Street hustling. Hard work at anything to keep life together. Early marriage. Struggling out of poverty.

Curiously, success came to him during the Depression. He founded what later became Harry Mander and Company, a small service business to the garment industry, manufacturing pipings, waist bands, pocketing and collar canvas.

One of the reasons for my father's success during hard times was World War II. He was beyond draft age and so was free to do a successful trade in servicing the manufacture of military uniforms. After the war, the business grew in new directions as the economy spurted forward into an era of rapid growth.

The Mander family moved from the Bronx to a semi-rural area of Yonkers, New York, when Jerry was at an early age. Jerry grew up there, and says "I was a golf star throughout my youth and that was what I wanted to be, a professional golfer when I was very young."

Mander earned a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, then an M.S. in International Economics from Columbia University’s Business School.

After receiving his M.S., Mander worked in advertising for 15 years, including five as partner and president of Freeman, Mander & Gossage in San Francisco. Mander worked with the noted environmentalist, David Brower, managing the Sierra Club's advertising campaigns to prevent the construction of dams in the Grand Canyon, to establish Redwood National Park, and to stop the U.S. Supersonic Transport (SST) project. In 1971 he founded the first non-profit advertising agency in the United States, Public Interest Communications.

Mander was the executive director of the International Forum on Globalization, which he founded in 1994, until 2009 and continues to serve on its staff as a Distinguished Fellow. He is also the program director for Megatechnology and Globalization at the Foundation for Deep Ecology.

In 2007 Jerry Mander appeared in the full-length documentary film, What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire.

In an interview with Nancho.net's W. David Kubiak, Mander describes how he got into advertising and how he turned it to the service of social causes:

Well, I wasn't a rebel when I got into advertising. I became a rebel through advertising. It was by being in advertising and realizing what advertising does in the system. I mean I can't explain why I, unlike other advertising men, saw that as a big problem. But I became involved using those techniques to help, you know, environmental groups and anti-war groups and civil rights groups, using advertising as a technique to help them. Advertising and also public relations work. So using that medium is what awoke me in many ways to the power of the medium and the power to use it in the reverse, against the system as well. Although the main problem is that those who are in power have so much more power and more money than those who are trying to resist it. And so we're always up against a heavy ratio, and the fact the opposite side has more power than we do.

In 1965, Mander married feminist author Anica Vesel Mander (b. 1934, d. 2002-06-19). They had two sons, Kai Maxim Mander and Yari David Mander. Although the Manders divorced in 1982, they remained close friends for the rest of Anica's life. Jerry Mander has lived in Bolinas, California since 1977.
