Now they are talking about bringing the trams back to Los Angeles. That's right , the car capital of the world has finally had enough . Its freeways are clogged up, air polluted, quality of life shattered and finally the decision mak­ ers are turning back to public transport systems as the only possible solution to the nightmare problems caused by the unrestrained use of the private au­ tomobile. Any wonder that Alan Kennedy, the Sydney Morning Herald's motoring wri­ ter has reached the conclusion that un­ less we want the heart of our cities rip­ ped out then the car has to be repelled at all costs. A quick look around the country gives little hope that this might easily happen at least in the short term. In Sydney the most expensive engineering project ever undertaken in the country is currently underway. It's the Sydney Harbour tun­ nel and when it's finished it will add a measly four lanes of capacity to the Bridge and encourage even more cars into the city centre. The tunnel was commissioned by a state government convinced of the need to unquestioningly provide for a pro­ jected increase of cross harbour traffic. The thought that it might not be good for the city to allow even more cars in never even crossed their minds. The saddest thing about the whole ha rbour crossing fiasco is that once again public transport doesn't even get a look in. Alan Kennedy says that trans­ port planners should be saying: "To hell with the traffic jams; if people want to sit in them, so be it ". At the same time money should be spent on improving rail and bus services. Indeed, a bus lane should be established on the bridge so drivers can watch them rocketing past Freewheeling S HAND-CRAFTED CUSTOM-BUILT MOUNTAIN BIKES PLUS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE RANGE THIS SIDE OF THE GREAT DIVIDE.

  • A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films
    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.

It is now more important as an organization to become transparent and open in our National Team selections. As such, the Federation saw the increased need to ensure that proper structures, policies and procedures are put in place to ensure fair selection processes are established as we move forward. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago has identified cycling as one of the fourteen sporting activities that is to receive special support over the short and medium terms. The sport therefore, has the potential to benefit from this recognition and the formulation and proper documentation of policies and procedures within the fraternity is one important step in capitalizing on the opportunity present themselves. The TTCF has recognized the need for formulating this policy and has initiated this effort to prepare and document it.

  • 'Life Goes On' for NBC Sports's Tour Team
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling ‘Life Goeshttps://www.theouterline.com on’ for NBC Sports’s Tour Team Following Sherwen’s Tragic Death When the Tour de France coverage kicks off on NBC Sports Network this weekend, it will mark the first time in 33 years that an English speaking audience will not hear the voice and sage insights of Paul Sherwen, who passed away in December, 2018. Long-time insider and supporting desk presenter Bob Roll will join the venerable Phil Liggett in front of the live commentary box cameras when coverage starts from Brussels, Belgium, Saturday, July 6. The transition would appear natural in light of Roll’s veteran experience in the booth and rapport with both personalities, and his deep historical cycling knowledge. Behind the scenes, NBC faces a daunting task to elevate its production game due to the expected impacts of Sherwen’s absence. “Bob knows he can never fill Paul’s shoes. Bob will simply have to cobble together a new pair,” said NBC’s Producer David Michaels, who has helmed the Tour’s American telecast since 2011. “Bob’s had a bit of experience working mano à mano with Phil. He brings a different energy and perspective. Bob grows with each broadcast. Can’t think of anyone out there who could go hour upon hour alongside Phil except Bob.” Michaels has an unprecedented perspective on his side. He began his storytelling of the Tour de France in the mid-1980s with CBS (his brother, Al, is widely known for his work in rival network ABC) and helped bring Greg LeMond’s famous 1985 and 1986 duels with teammate Bernard Hinault to the American audience.

  • What Killed Australian Cinema & Why Is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving?
    What Killed Australian Cinema & Why is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving? A Thesis Submitted By Jacob Zvi for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Health, Arts & Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne © Jacob Zvi 2019 Swinburne University of Technology All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. II Abstract In 2004, annual Australian viewership of Australian cinema, regularly averaging below 5%, reached an all-time low of 1.3%. Considering Australia ranks among the top nations in both screens and cinema attendance per capita, and that Australians’ biggest cultural consumption is screen products and multi-media equipment, suggests that Australians love cinema, but refrain from watching their own. Why? During its golden period, 1970-1988, Australian cinema was operating under combined private and government investment, and responsible for critical and commercial successes. However, over the past thirty years, 1988-2018, due to the detrimental role of government film agencies played in binding Australian cinema to government funding, Australian films are perceived as under-developed, low budget, and depressing. Out of hundreds of films produced, and investment of billions of dollars, only a dozen managed to recoup their budget. The thesis demonstrates how ‘Australian national cinema’ discourse helped funding bodies consolidate their power. Australian filmmaking is defined by three ongoing and unresolved frictions: one external and two internal. Friction I debates Australian cinema vs. Australian audience, rejecting Australian cinema’s output, resulting in Frictions II and III, which respectively debate two industry questions: what content is produced? arthouse vs.
