Brisbane Film Festival honoured Ledger with Chauvel
By Rama Gaind
THE late Heath Ledger – who has generated rave reviews as The Joker in The Dark Knight – was honoured for his contribution to the Australian film industry with the 2008 Chauvel Award.
Speaking at the official program launch for the 2008 St George Bank Brisbane International Film Festival, the Queensland Arts Minister, Rod Welford, said Ledger would join other Australian film luminaries – including George Miller, Geoffrey Rush, Bryan Brown and Jack Thompson – in receiving the honour.
Ledger’s portrayal of the face-painted, scarred villain in The Dark Knight is evil to the core and sends shivers down the spine – he’s so believable!
This superhero action is a good versus evil story which sees Christian Bale playing down the role of billionaire Bruce Wayne/Batman.
On a brief visit to Brisbane, I had a delightful time seeing some of the features on offer at the 17th St George Bank Brisbane International Film Festival which finished at the Brisbane City Regent on August 10.
Not only were the tastes of hard-core film buffs satisfied with the program, but there was also enough on offer to gratify the casual moviegoer.
The opening night was politically-charged with Morgan Super Size Me Spurlock’s Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? The closing night saw the romantic war time drama The Edge of Love.
The program was an entertaining delight with favourite categories such as Galas and Showcases, along with new themes. Cinephile Delights was full of award winners and internationally acclaimed titles from Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Sundance.
There was also an assortment of globally feted films from the lavish martial artistry of Ashes of Time Redux to the witty animation Persepolis, while special screening provided a rare opportunity to see the silent classic Siren of the Tropics on the big screen with live musical accompaniment.
A walk on the wild side of genre cinema unravelled Ozploitation and Not Quite Hollywood. You also discovered the bold, eclectic style of well-known French auteur Olivier Assayas. Then there were films on show from Britain, a strong line-up from Kazakhstan to Korea and the richness of contemporary Thai cinema was also highlighted.
There was also an international selection of films, by and about, indigenous peoples, along with cult films and documentaries. In fact, there was something to attract every interest.
THE Conservation Council has likened the State of the Environment Report, released yesterday, to a Get out of Jail Free card for the Government on climate change. The Report recognises the need for significant action but fails to make recommendations that will substantially reduce Canberra’s emissions, instead simply recommending that the overly timid Weathering the Change climate strategy be implemented.
Real action from our political leaders is needed now on climate change. Stationary energy, such as electricity, is responsible for over 70% of the ACT’s greenhouse gas emissions. Mandated targets could reduce wasted energy and lower these emissions", said
Genevieve Wauchope, Council Climate Campaigner. "Our record in greatly reducing our water consumption demonstrates that Canberrans will respond positively to Government expectations, legislative requirements and mandated targets. Climate change is a crisis just as the drought has been, and we need strong leadership to achieve the reductions required."
The Conservation Council recently convened a roundtable of experts to identify solutions to Canberra’s growing emissions. We strongly urge the Government to implement the recommendations from that roundtable – Achieving Better Energy Efficiency in the
ACT.
"These cover such things as mandatory best practice energy efficiency for all buildings, phasing out electric hot water systems, and assistance for low income earners," said Ms Wauchope.
"Better energy efficiency in dwellings lowers the ongoing costs of maintaining a live-able, comfortable home by reducing the need for excess energy consumption. This is increasingly important as the cost of electricity and fuel increase. A new energy rating tool must be implemented and audited to save Canberrans money and emissions. Matching the requirements of new home owners, the commercial building industry must be required to meet a mandatory energy efficiency requirement of 5 star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR). The ACT Government can lead the way by requiring the offices it tenants meet the 5 star ABGR" said Ms Wauchope.

If you watched the news last night, you would have seen the lead story – a new GetUp TV ad has hit the headlines as Kevin Rudd arrives at the Beijing Olympics, urging him to speak out on Tibet.
The ad, made with the Australia Tibet Council, is going to air either side of the Opening Ceremony.
We sent the PM a copy of the ad, and he has pledged to raise human rights issues in Beijing. We know this sort of diplomacy works – only last week the PM condemned the media censorship around the Olympics – and the Chinese Government eased the restrictions.
But there is one hurdle left to clear – the Seven Network, in response to the media interest our ad has generated is now denying the fact that we’ve booked the ad space. Unfortunately for them we have on our desks a confirmed booking sheet suggesting otherwise!
Whether or not Channel 7 decide to uphold the values of free speech, you can watch the ad for yourself here.
It’s vital that after the Olympics the world does not ‘switch off’ on Tibet – that’s why we’re planning more ads for the closing ceremony and beyond. Stay tuned for opportunities to help get the message out soon.
Thanks,
The GetUp team
PS – Let us know what you think about the Tibet issue and free speech on our blog

The Australian Handball Federation [AHF] congratulates the members and officials of the Junior Women’s Team for their admirable participation in the XVI Junior Women’s World Championship. Considering that this was the first time that Australia had participated in the Junior Women’s World Championship, they ought to be proud of what they have achieved.
Although Australia did not reach the level of success it set out to do, it certainly earned the admiration of the handball world for the way the players did not give up fighting up to the end. AHF is also pleased that at the close of the Australia’s last match in the tournament on 2nd August 2008, the Team was ranked second in Team Fair Play.
Australia’s participation also showcased some fantastic handball performances by a number of individual players. One of these players is Sally Potocki, Player No. 8, Left Back position. During the tournament, Sally impressed the spectators and officials with her skilful and energetic performance. Sally finished second top goal scorer with 61 goals, 4 goals behind Denmark’s Camilla Dalby, with 65 goals for the tournament. To highlight the level of Sally’s achievements, it is interesting to note that none of Sally’s goals were scored from 7 metre penalties, compared to Camilla, who scored 11 goals from 7 metre penalties and played one more match than Sally. Also, Sally finished 11th for goals and assists and equal second for Steals in defence during Australia’s participation in the tournament.
Another player who made the tournament’s Top Goalscorer list was Vanja Smiljanic, Player No. 15, Back position. Vanja finished the tournament in equal 25th position with 40 goals and at one stage occupied equal 9th position earlier in the tournament.
Taylee Lewis, Goalkeeper, also shone during the tournament. Taylee finished the tournament on 18th position for saved penalty shots as well as saving goals at crucial moments during the matches played.
AHF recognises that the performance of the three ‘star’ players was made possible by the team work of all the players and the hard work of the officials. AHF also wishes to express its appreciation to JAT airlines for their contribution to the team’s airfares and helping with their pre tournament camp in Belgrade, Serbia.

Creating a vacuum offers you the opportunity to welcome something new into your life. We have to keep in mind that the important procedure of de-cluttering is the key number 1 in Feng Shui. The process of emptying cupboards of non-used items, discarding stagnant items in the ever shrinking garage space and clearing out our old fashioned clothes, allows us to look at life differently.
Since I migrated to Australia 10 years ago, the Universe encouraged me to move house 16 times! The various locations and sites have helped me to learn so much about Feng Shui. I have hardly any item that belonged to the time when we arrived in our new country. With the various moves, clothes, bedding and furniture have changed as we were evolving in life… the pictures that we display around the house have been replaced by new ones. My Feng Shui passion has evolved tremendously and become amazingly powerful.
Update for Harmony
It is essential to update displayed photographs with the most recent ones – having pictures of young children in their teenager bedroom could bring challenges in your family life as they could sometimes act like ‘babies’ or… you could still consider them as younger than they truly are, if you wish, you can keep the frames that you already have and simply insert your latest printouts.
Dispose for Health
Go through your pharmacy and discard all the out-of-date medication. Dispose of the never-to-be-used samples of soap and creams. Keep your side of the vanity as bare as possible and colour-coordinate your soap, shampoo and towels.
Empty for Love – IF YOU ARE SINGLE
In your master bedroom, make sure that you have two similar bedside tables. To welcome a potential partner in your life, empty the second bedside table, ensure they are located symmetrically on each side of the bed and the bed itself has equal space on each side allowing equal opportunities for both partners.
In your wardrobe, empty one shelf and keep a few empty coat hangers in your hanging space.
In your bathroom or en-suite: keep one vanity draw empty and display your personal items on one side of the basin only, freeing some space for someone special.
Going back to basics, we realise that we do not need much to live and be happy. It is better to own and tastefully display one or two beautiful pieces of art (sculptures or paintings) with a unique lighting that will make you feel special every day.

Civic Square, London Circuit (in front of the ACT Legislative Assembly)
The ACT Branch of the Women??s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) invite the general public to a ceremony for peace to commemorate Hiroshima Day, tomorrow, 6 August 2008, at Civic Square, London Circuit. The event will take place around the Statue of Ethos in front of the Legislative Assembly building, and around the fountains, 5.30-6.30pm.
On 6th and 9th August 1945, about 200,000 Japanese civilians perished and many thousands more injured when the first atomic bombs was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The WILPF-ACT event will remember the victims and is aimed at reminding us of the horror and tragic costs of war, and of the need to press for world peace.
There will be singing and playing of peace music, featuring the well-known Chorus of Women, a poetry reading, and the laying of flowers and floating candles on the water. All welcome. Inquiries: Anni Didcott, WILPF-ACT Hiroshima Day Remembrance Convenor, ph 6282 4943.
These paintings are from my contact in the USA (Carol Hiltner). Carol has been venturing into Altai (Central Asia) since the mid 80’s.
The aim of the paintings are to raise awareness about the powerful spirituality of the region and also the plight of up to 80,000 indegenous people whose ancestral way of life are threatened by Russian land reforms. The region has a tremendous legacy that keeps alive the ancient ways of the old world.
Its a place of pilgrimage, spirituality and haunting beauty that isseeking our help! I for one am committed to raising awareness and funds in order to help the local folks survey and register their homelands. Time is of essence, as 2010 is the deadline, as stipulated by the Russian reforms. I will tell more soon and for the time being, I urge you folks to reflect upon the images!

A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age. The group surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?" One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighbourhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we’ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog." Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn’t be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don’t you boys know it’s a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie." There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he’d gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."
The Book of Pilgrimage, II, 22
You are the future,
the red sky before sunrise
over the fields of time.
You are the cock’s crow when night is done,
You are the dew and the bells of matins,
maiden, stranger, mother, death.
You create yourself in ever-changing shapes
that rise from the stuff of our days —
unsung, unmourned, undescribed,
like a forest we never knew.
You are the deep innerness of all things,
the last word that can never be spoken.
To each of us you reveal yourself differently:
to the ship as coastline, to the shore as a ship……… Rainer Maria Rilke

The Australian Handball Federation [AHF] is pleased to announce that Darryl McCormack will be one of the commentators of the handball games at the 2008 Olympics to be aired by SBS, in partnership with TV Channel 7. The commentary team will be calling the matches at the International Broadcasting Centre in Beijing.
Darryl, who is a formidable Right Back player, has been in the Australian Men’s Team for sixteen years.He has represented Australia in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and in the World Championships held in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007.He also has been based in Sweden playing in First Division League for the H65 club in Hoor. Having an extensive handball experience, Darryl certainly is very qualified to provide commentary on the games.
This will not be the first time that Darryl will be involved in commentating handball games.He also did the commentary on handball games at the 2004 Olympics held in Athens, Greece. In 2004, Channel 7 in partnership with SBS, was looking for an expert handball commentator to cover some of the handball matches. The list of known handball commentators in Australia is not long, so the two networks went looking for Darryl. The TV networks had a bit of a tough time tracking Darryl down, but through contacts listed on the AHF website, they were able to obtain Darryl’s mobile number in Sweden.
Darryl received his roster of games last week and at this stage, subject to unpredictable changes, will be commentating on 15 of the 16 days of handball competitions. He will be calling games involving a good mixture of nationalities from both men’s and women’s competitions, as well as good coverage of the quarter, semi-final and final games.
The following is Darryl’s response to the question:Who are your picks for the Gold Medals in Beijing?
On the women’s side it is hard to see anyone beating Russia. They have totally dominated women’s handball since winning the World Championships on home soil in 2005, and then backed this up again at the end of last year at the 2007 World Championships in France. The size, strength, speed and skills of the Russians as a whole, and the fact that the majority of the national team play in the Russian league means that it is practically impossible to find a weakness in the team.
The absence of the Danes in Beijing, after winning the Gold at the last 3 Olympics shows a real fall from the throne of the Danish national women’s team. The only team to shake the Russian women in international competition over the past 3 years has been Norway, who played the game of their lives to defeat Russian in the final at the 2007 European Championships. It was great to see Norway come away with the win so that Russia does not totally dominate women’s handball.
On the men’s side, the competition is wide open. There’s Croatia, defending Olympic Champions, Germany, current World Champions, France, who have been favourites to win a number of international competitions in the past few years. And then there are the Danish men, surprise winners at the European Championships earlier this year, with a very solid performance throughout the tournament and played an impressive final, beating the Croatian team. We see more and more that the most successful teams are the ones that manage to keep their key players fresh by resting them throughout the tournament and by using their bench wisely. If this point becomes a determining factor, then the Danish and German men would be the best to fare.There is an absence of huge stars in their teams, rather the consistent and all-round strengths of all players in these teams means their coaches are much less reliant on having to continually use a few key players to perform and produce in all games throughout the tournament. Living in Sweden, my hope would be for the Danes to get the title, but on sheer individual brilliance it’s hard to go past the likes of Balic, Karabatic, Abalu, Dzomba in the teams of France and Croatia.
The AHF is optimistic that the broadcast of so many handball games at the Olympics will not only benefit current handball players and fans but also encourage more youth to take up/follow the sport.In addition, AHF is hopeful that it will also draw some interest from prospective sponsors.
[For schedule of the games, please refer to the Australian Handball Federation website:
RFID Training and Certification now available in Australia
DALLAS, Texas – OTA Training LLC, the global leader in hands-on, vendor-neutral RFID training and certification has announced the opening of an office in Canberra, Australia. Conveniently located between Sydney and Melbourne, the office will serve as a base of operations for the entire Pacific Rim region. The new office is easily accessible to the growing number of technology companies and manufacturers implementing RFID technologies for smart card, asset tracking and other applications. As Australia’s capital, Canberra is an ideal location to support the many RIFD initiatives that are being undertaken by the various Australian governmental bodies.
Eugene Costabile has been appointed Director of Business Development for the Australasia Region and will be responsible for all regional operations. “RFID is a rapid growth technology but the demand for skilled RFID professionals threatens the ability of the RFID industry to continue to cultivate this technology locally,” said Costabile. “Our local presence in Australia will now allow OTA to support and drive RFID adoption throughout the region.”
The opening of this office underscores OTA’s commitment to the Asia Pacific region and to the Australian market in particular where RFID adoption is growing at an amazing rate. Almost daily news reports can be seen about RFID applications being deployed in Australia. The country is leading the world in applications like animal tracking.
“We’re excited to be a part of the bourgeoning RFID market in Australia,” said OTA CEO and Founder, Robert Sabella. “In many ways the opportunity mirrors that of the US where we’ve had great success teaching students how to achieve desired results in RFID implementations. But each country is unique in their needs, industries served and experience levels, and Australia is no different. This is a challenge that we’re really looking forward to.”
OTA’s highly acclaimed 4-day, “A Systems Approach to RFID plus RFID+ Certification” program will be presented in Canberra on September 30, 2008. Proven to increase the return on RFID investment, this dynamic approach is comprehensive, hands-on and vendor-neutral – the result represents a new paradigm in RFID training in Australia.
For more information on OTA Training and their Australian RFID training programs, visit www.otatraining.com, or contact Eugene Costabile via e-mail at [email protected], or call 61 2 6243 3691 (in the US (972-386-9655).
