	Darling River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Darling River is the longest river in Australia, flowing 2,739km from northern New South Wales to its confluence with the Murray River at Wentworth, New South Wales.
		In 1828 the explorer Charles Sturt was sent by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Ralph Darling, to investigate the course of the Macquarie River.
		And this is the dirge of the Darling River.

		The longest of these is the Darling Fault, whose trace over 400 km is accentuated by the abrupt drop in heavy vegetation cover (Jarrah: Eucalyptus sp.) on the western edge of the plateau to the east, readily perceived in a Landsat mosaic (Figure C-20.1) of the region.
		The ranges within the Darling Plateau are underlain by Precambrian crystalline rocks- mostly granites, migmatites, and banded gneisses-and basic volcanics are exposed in the south.
		The Darling Ranges today comprise an uplifted and dissected peneplain beneath which deep and intense weathering during the Late Mesozoic/Early Tertiary has led to lateritic and bauxitic regolith, together with some sands and conglomerates, that hardened on uplift and dessication.

	'Evolution's Darling' Searches Artificial Souls for Beauty
		Evolution’s Darling is mostly the story of Darling, a ship’s astronavigation system that also babysits "his" owner’s daughter, Rathere.
		After a prologue in which Darling wins his freedom and a body of his own, the main story picks up 200 years later, after the AI has drifted into a job as an investigator for an art broker.
		Darling is sent to the dismal frontier planet of Malvir to find the artist — another artificial intelligence — and determine what has happened to him.

		Annual rainfall ranges from ~1200mm in the west to ~400mm in the east.
		For a patchy rehabilitated area, the range value is high or increases with time, because minimum values which are equal to or close to zero persist whereas the maximum values increase.

	HalDarling.com - Review of Hal Darling's Music
		Frantic poly-rhythms, wildly shifting moods, and hyperactive synth and percussion work characterize this independent release by Hal Darling with assistance from his brother Bryce.
		The collection of twelve high-energy instrumentals ranges from the spritely "A Courting Rhythm", which sounds like Bartok's version of modern dance music, to the darkly dissonant "Forever Again", with its angry synth power chords and military drums.
		A little repetitive at times, but the nearly epileptic energy level keeps the music consistently interesting.
