A model is a pattern, plan, representation (especially in miniature), or description designed to show the main object or workings of an object, system, or concept. Model may also refer to:

Abstractions, concepts, and theories:

• Model (abstract), an abstraction or conceptual object used in the creation of a predictive formula
• Causal model, an abstract model that uses cause and effect logic
• Mathematical model, an abstract model that uses mathematical language
• Statistical model, in applied statistics, a parameterized set of probability distributions
• Model theory, study of the representation of mathematical concepts
• Meta-modeling, a model of a model
• Computer model, a computer program which attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system
• Data model, a description of the structure of a database
• Scientific modelling, the process of generating abstract models
• The Standard Model, the theory in particle physics which describes certain fundamental forces and particles
• Model building (particle physics), the construction of new models beyond the Standard Model in particle physics
• Molecular modelling, methods and techniques to model the behaviour of molecules
• Geologic modelling, the applied science of creating computerized models of geologic features
• A pre-clinical development model of a biological process, used in biological or medical research
• Model Driven Engineering, the systematic use of models in engineering
• Morphological modelling, a problem-solving technique used for problems with which causal modelling does not function well
• Similitude (model), in engineering, used in the scientific testing of physical models
• Working Model, engineering software
• Model (economics), a theoretical construct representing economic processes
• Model (macroeconomics), an economic model representing a national or regional economy
• Business model, a framework expressing the business logic of a firm
• Model-view-controller, an architectural pattern in software engineering
• Toy model, a simplified system that illustrates or exhibits the same behaviour as the more complex, general system

The Arts Portal

Art is the expression of creativity or imagination. The word art comes from the Latin word ars, which, loosely translated, means "arrangement". Art is commonly understood as the act of making works (or artworks) which use the human creative impulse and which have meaning beyond simple description. While art is often distinguished from crafts and recreational hobby activities, this boundary can at times be hard to define. The term creative arts denotes a collection of disciplines whose principal purpose is the output of material for the viewer or audience to interpret. As such, art may be taken to include forms ranging from literary forms (prose writing and poetry); performance-based forms (dance, acting, drama, and music); visual and "plastic arts" (painting, sculpture, photography, illustration); to forms that also have a functional role, such as architecture and fashion design. Art may also be understood as relating to creativity, æsthetics and the generation of emotion.

(postcode 2906) is a suburb in the Canberra, Australia district of Tuggeranong. It is the most southerly suburb of Canberra. The suburb is named after Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820), the botanist who accompanied Captain James Cook to the Pacific Ocean on which he entered Botany Bay in 1770. The suburb was gazetted on 12 March 1987. The theme of the street names is botany or natural history.

Banks is located next to the suburbs of Conder and Gordon. It is bounded by Box Hill Ave, Tom Roberts Ave and Tharwa Drive. Located in the suburb is Beau & Jessie Park and the Banks Oval.

The Rob Roy Nature Park is a hilly region to the east of Banks. The suburb itself slopes gently to the west north west.

There is a small shopping centre in the suburb, on the main internal road: Pockett Avenue.
