2012 Annual Report AUSTRALIAN PARACHUTE FEDERATION 2012 ANNUAL REPORT Australian Parachute Federation 2012 Annual Report | 1 ABOUT US The Australian Parachute Federation (APF) is a Not for Profit (NFP) organization existing to administer and represent Australian Sport Parachuting, maintaining a high level of safety and performance, seeking to encourage participation at all levels, striving toward enhancement of standards and excellence in performance in Sport Parachuting. The APF is the organization which controls skydiving and parachuting at most civilian operations in Australia. With the approval of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), the APF sets standards for all aspects of parachuting operations including the conduct of competitions, the issuing of memberships, licenses and instructor ratings, conduct of the examination process and distribution of various publications keeping members informed. The APF also provides Public Liability Insurance for all APF members. The National Office, located in Brisbane, Queensland, is staffed by a team of nine and supported by volunteers at local and State level, and is affiliated with the Federation Aeronautique Internationale through the Australian Sport Aviation Confederation and International Parachuting Commission. The Federation is a Self-Administered Organisation administering the sport of parachuting under a Deed of Agreement with CASA. Benefits of membership include the right to skydive in Australia, liability, insurance, representation, information and standards setting. Australian Parachute Federation Inc.

When times are tough, people put aside big investments such as buying a new car or house and instead treat themselves to something which is fun and affordable. Going to the movies, involvements in sport, and such like, are popular when times are rough. Let’s hope as the economic conditions improve we do not see a drop off in new membership. Having said that, I doubt this will be the case as marketing of skydiving in Australia today is both professional and effective. The number of fatalities in any given time is a rough indicator of the safety of our sport. By this measure, last year was very bad with six fatalities, whereas the long term average is 2.5 fatalities per year. This increased number of fatalities was noticed by CASA as it coincided with an increase in fatalities in sport aviation generally. This prompted the Director of Safety, John McCormack, to remark that CASA is considering taking back the regulation of sport aviation. This would be a disaster and take us back to the dark ages. In February, the APF CEO and I met with the Associate Director of CASA who assured us this was unlikely and CASA’s concerns were more to do with sport aviation aircraft registration in general and not parachuting in particular. This does not take away from the fact that we did have 6 fatalities and this is not a good look. After investigating these fatalities we saw 3 Chief Instructors disciplined. Disciplinary action was taken against these CIs for a breach of their oversight responsibilities in allowing certain activities to take place on their DZ. While oversight of parachuting activities, generally, remains the responsibility of the DZSO and – student and novice training remains the responsibility of the CI – individual members rightly should, and must, take responsibility for their own behaviour. Those who have passed the novice stage, ie hold a B license or above, need to take responsibility for their own actions. If the wind is above limits or the planned landing area is not big enough for your level of experience and qualifications, or you do not hold a Star Crest but should have one, then it’s your responsibility to not proceed with the jump. Disciplinary action was taken against individual members for this sort of breach in the wingsuit fatality. This leads me into the final point I wish to raise, the introduction of a system similar to the penalty point system used for road traffic offences. The demerit system currently under development should see us become more even-handed in how we manage removal of privileges when disciplinary action is found necessary. The CASA Associate Director was pleased to see us embrace this approach as it puts the emphasis on modifying behaviour rather than simply punishing someone. An unintentional breach is treated lightly with, say 10 demerit points. A serial offender is treated more harshly with, say 50 points and wilful negligence might score 100 points. There will be monetary fine and the prospect of loss of privileges associated with the particulars of the breach. Points will be cumulative so that repeat offences will add to the points a member accumulates and may lead to a suspension of their ratings and/or licenses. Once the system is bedded down and the procedures developed and tested we will look to simplify Rule 19 of the Constitution which has the rules for dealing with misconduct. Currently these are complex. We should be able to simplify these to have the essence of what the Association’s` Incorporation Act and Association Incorporation Regulations prescribe as being required, and not much else. In essence, members being disciplined must be afforded natural justice and if they feel their treatment is too harsh, have an avenue to appeal to a higher authority. While I no longer jump, I continue to stay involved as the members’ direct representative at Board Meetings, occasionally at Management Committee meetings and the OpReg rewrite and Demerit System workgroup meetings. I would be happy to serve in this role for the next year if that is your wish. Dave Smith APF President Australian Parachute Federation 2012 Annual Report | 5 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD Dear Members Stemming from the year 2012 we had some high profile members who were disciplined for various OP REG breaches. It is sad to see the lies and untruths some of these members have tried to spread amongst the rest of the membership, let’s put this into perspective. Firstly let me say that it is only a small minority behaving this way. Sadly it is people who should know better, and in some cases should be setting the bench mark for the up and coming new members in the industry and the sport, but for some unexplainable reason they do not want to move into the 21st century. The people responsible for spreading these untruths are doing a disservice to all the volunteers. The volunteers work so tirelessly to keep us all safe and in the air because of their passion for this federation, and all of this at a cost to themselves. There are a number of senior members out there who still don’t get it [rules are rules].

    55 2.4 Fourth International Congress of Neurological Surgery New York 1969 Interim Planning Meeting Madrid 1967 Renewed negotiations for a combined International Neurological and Neurosurgical Congress had already been underway for some time before the International Congress in Copenhagen. The neurologists were keen to have a congress in the usa and were willing to meet in conjunction with the neurosurgeons. Accordingly, when the Executive Committee of the World Federa- tion of Neurosurgical Societies at its Interim Meeting in Vienna 1963 voted to meet in North America in 1969, preferably in New York, the World Federation of Neurology, at its meeting in Vienna the week af- ter, approved a joint International Congress in New York. Some members of both organizations indeed feared that a combined congress would be unduly large and cumbersome. The majority, however, held the view that the advantages of having several neuro- logical disciplines meeting in close proximity would A. Earl Walker † outweigh any possible inconvenience. A Congress President wfns 1965-1969 Liaison Committee was, therefore, established con- Honorary President sisting of the presidents, secretaries-general and treas- urers of the two congresses. This Liaison Committee would meet frequently to discuss plans, resolve difficulties or conflicts and coordinate the overall administration. The administrative work was contracted, an arrangement which relieved the Congress Liaison Committee of much tedious work. Later, an executive director of the congresses would be appointed. These arrangements were formulated at a meeting of the Liaison Committee in Vienna, on 3rd September 1965 and an application for support of the combined congress was submitted to the Na- tional Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke in the usa.

  • Body Remains a Difference
    Body Remains a Difference Representation of Gender in Four Newspapers’ Reporting on the 2016 Olympic Games Joel Olsson Department of English Bachelor Degree Project English Linguistics Autumn 2016 Supervisor: Mikko Höglund Body Remains a Difference Representation of Gender in Four Newspapers’ Reporting on the 2016 Olympic Games Joel Olsson Abstract This thesis investigates how male and female athletes competing in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro were portrayed in two British and two American newspapers (The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post). It also examines how the total amount of coverage was distributed between athletes of each gender. Previous studies have shown that female athletes are not given as much space as male athletes (Jones, 2004, Caple, Greenwood, & Lumby, 2011, Godoy- Pressland 2014) and that when they are reported on, not portrayed in the same way as male athletes (Eagleman, 2015). This can have negative effects for athletes and their sport (Knight & Giuliano, 2011). For this essay, a corpus was created out of articles from the four newspapers, which were subsequently analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings showed a greater equality in the amount of coverage provided by newspapers than had been shown by previous studies, but with such a small sample, results could not be generalised widely. For the qualitative analysis, articles from two specific events were analysed and determined to not contain any major differences between males and females, with only one exception, which was Los Angeles Times’ article on the women’s artistic gymnastics team all-around event. Keywords Language and gender, representation, media coverage, Olympic Games, modifiers Contents 1.
