    OPENING NIGHT THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY FRIDAY 11 MARCH 7PM Directed by Matthew Brown | UK | In English and Tamil with English subtitles | 108 mins | PG SELECTED: TORONTO & DUBAI FILM FESTIVAL 2015 Based on the inspirational biography of a genuine mathematical genius in the early twentieth century, The Man Who Knew Infinity tells the life story of Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel, Slumdog Millionaire). Image: Mustang From an underprivileged upbringing in Madras, India, Ramanujan earns admittance to Cambridge University during WWI, where he becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories. Academy Award-winner Jeremy Irons delivers a terrific performance as Cambridge University Professor G.H. Hardy, who is inspired and captivated by the mathematician’s ground-breaking theories. Their friendship transcends race and culture through mutual respect and understanding, and Ramanujan’s visionary theories shine through the ignorance and prejudice of those around him.

  • Berkeley Prepares for War
    60 July lllawarra Historical Society Inc. BERKELEY PREPARES FOR WAR When she was researching the history of Berkeley, Society member, Kathleen Barwick, (now Kathleen Hooke) received the following information from the Australian Army: I refer to your letter of 7th April, 1963, in which you requested information in regard to the concrete blocks in Lake lllawarra and rank trap in the Berkeley Area. It is regretted that Army files containing the correspondence dealing with the concrete blocks and the tank traps have been destroyed, and as such, no specific information can be obtained for you. In reply to your questions, concerning the defence of Berkeley, I will answer each ques­ tion separately. Why was the tank trap necessary? It was designed to stop an armoured thrust along the coast from Port Kembla. Were there extensive precautions taken to stop the japanese entering here (Berkeley)? After the capture of Singapore, plans were prepared for the defence of Eastern Australian Coastline with special attention to possible landing areas near major cities and large industrial centres. Wollongong - Port Kembla was one of these areas to be defended. Was the japanese navy expected to force a landing near Port Kembla? It is generally not known where an enemy would strike on such an extensive coastline but Wollongong -Port Kembla is an industrial centre and as such was regarded as possible target for enemy assault. Were there other tank traps established along the Eastern coast ofAustralia? The Eastern Coast has many coastal rivers which would have been possible defensive barriers for tanks, but all major centres of population had plans for the construction of tank traps and many were actually built.

  • A Brief History of the Mount Keira Tramline
    84 NOV /DEC 2000 lllawarra Historical Society Inc. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MOUNT KEIRA TRAMLINE 1839 The Rev W B Clarke, who was a qualified geologist, recorded a finding of coal at Mount Keira. 1848 James Shoobert, a retired sea captain and land-owner, drove a tunnel in what is now known as the No. 3 seam. He then observed an outcrop of the No. 2 (4-ft) seam about 21 metres above it, in which the coal was of better quality. 1849 Shoobert then opened a tunnel in the 4-ft seam, which seems to have been on the north side of Para Creek. A track was then cut through the bush to the Mount Keira Road where a depot was established about 400 metres west of the crossroads forming the junction with the main south road. The track and the crossroads both appear on Plan A (page 85), an 1855 proposal to supply Wollongong with water. The first load of coal was taken from this depot to Wollongong Harbour, with much fanfare, on August 27. The coal was delivered from the mine to the depot by bullock drays and dumped there. It was then loaded onto horse-drawn drays and taken to the harbour, where it was bagged and carried on board the waiting vessel, the paddle steamer William the Fourth, and tipped into its hold. [Sydney Morning Herald 10.09.1849) Plan B (page 87) is a line diagram showing the position ofShoobert's road in relation to later developments. 1850 A second tunnel was opened in the 4-ft seam.

Core outcomes/issues for the half Sales revenue of $4,622M for 1H FY2011, up $519M compared to 1H FY2010, was primarily due to higher international and domestic selling prices partly offset by a higher average AUD:USD exchange rate for 1H 2011 of 0.945 (vs. 0.872). Reported NLAT of $55M for 1H FY2011, $27M worse off than the 1H FY2010, was mainly due to net impairment write down of $9M and one-off tax benefits in the previous comparative period. In accordance with accounting standards the net impairment write-down comprised a write-down of goodwill in BlueScope Distribution business of $77M due to the recent poor financial performance and uncertain medium term outlook.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Illawarra Co-‐operatives: The irsF t One Hundred Years Abstract The hope nda promise of co-operative marketing were to return all profits fairly ot the producers and to control the price of dairy products through collective market power. Soon the South Coast and West Camden Co-op opened its own selling floors in Sussex Street, Sydney. Illawarra and Shoalhaven farmers immediately withdrew their consignments from ‘the system’ and sent their produce instead to the fledgling co-operative. On Mondays and Thursdays steamers arrived from Wollongong, Kiama and Shoalhaven. Carrier after carrier had to be engaged to convey the butter, bacon and cheese sent from the South Coast to the Co-op’s floor while many agents had nothing else to do but stand outside their doors and watch their business disappear, their carts returned empty from the wharf. The oC -op finished business on the evening of its opening day with all its consignments sold at a very good price.
