START: At the Start, lane # 1 is on the left hand side looking from the start to the finish. The start signal and recall signal will be by horn blast. The Starter will advise the procedure for starting. Crews will be dispatched by the starter saying “attention” followed by the horn. The Umpire's signal to stop rowing will be the waving of a red flag. All crews must be in the starter's control (and must have reported) 5 minutes before their event. Where divisions are drawn, this is five minutes before the first division. To achieve this, crews should be boating from the outgoing pontoon near the finish line approximately 30 minutes before their race. Latecomers will not be allowed on to the course. FINISH: The first crew to cross the finish line will receive a horn blast, other crews crossing the line will also be acknowledged by the finish horn. FINALS for events will be conducted in the order laid down on Rowing NSW’s regatta program, unless otherwise announced by the regatta commentator. SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT: Bow balls of an approved type must be securely fitted to the bow of each competing boat; no boat will be permitted to start in breach of Law 8. Boats are liable to check weighing in accordance with the Rules. No boat shall carry radio or telephone equipment capable of sending or receiving messages. Any competitor that is not a competent swimmer must wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Boats with shoes must have heel ties and these are to ensure that the heel of the shoe has no more than horizontal travel. This is the responsibility of competitors and coaches. WEIGH-IN: Coxswains for Senior events shall be weighed in rowing suits by a duly appointed Boat Race Official from 7:00 a.m. at the Finish Tower. The minimum weight for coxswains in Senior events is 55kg, with a maximum of 15kg in carried weight.

No crew is permitted to warm down, train or warm up on the course during the scheduled racing periods. No speedboats (other than those engaged by the regatta organizers for use by the Boat Race Officials) are permitted on the course or warm up lake. LANE NUMBERS: For all Rowing NSW regattas, approved lane numbers must be used. They are available from the Finish Tower. Lane 1 is on the southern bank (furthest lane from the finish tower). DRUG TESTING: Competitors may be required to undergo testing to detect the presence of any performance enhancing substance in accordance with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency Act (2006) and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority Regulations (2006). Failure to submit to a drug test will result in immediate disqualification. 4 | P a g e COURSE CLOSURE & TRAINING: The regatta course will be closed to all crews who are not proceeding to the start of their event, 30 minutes before the commencement of the first session. Crews violating this directive will be awarded false starts or will be disqualified from the regatta.

Only official vehicles are permitted to drive to the start or use the media roadway. No coaching boats are permitted at SIRC. No coaches or spectators are permitted within 100 metres of the starting / aligning precinct when starts are in operation. PRESENTATION OF TROPHIES & MEDALS: Presentation of trophies will take place on the presentation dais following the declaration of the race by the Umpire & Judge. Successful competitors must proceed with caution to the pontoon between the shore and first line of buoys. Crews who do not present themselves for the ceremony will be able to collect their prizes later, however an official presentation will not be available due to the large number of finals that are taking place. MEDICAL FACILITIES: Emergency medical care will be provided by Ambulance Australia. Duty doctors will be in attendance at the Medical Centre above the Finish Tower (western end of the course). FAIRNESS COMMITTEE: Any decision to postpone or cancel the regatta due to inclement weather or unforeseen conditions will be made by the fairness committee in accordance with the Law of Boat Racing 18 (a) and (c). HELMET SAFETY REMINDER Rowing NSW would like remind schools that Bicycle riders (coaches and supporters) are required by law to wear an approved helmet securely fitted and fastened. In NSW there are no exemptions from wearing an approved bicycle helmet and this includes at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. Tips: o Always wear a helmet when you ride and make sure you fit the helmet correctly. o The helmet should fit comfortably and securely when the straps are fastened. o The straps should not be twisted, nor cover the ears. When done up correctly, the straps should provide a snug fit over the ears and under the chin. 5 | P a g e 6 | P a g e SCHOOLGIRL TROPHIES & SHIELDS The Betty Deer Rosebowl The Betty Deer Rosebowl for the overall pointscore in the NSW Schoolgirls Head of the River Regatta was established in 1991 but first competed for in 1992.

She was especially proud of her eldest grandchild, Jane Spring, when Jane won the NSW Lightweight Sculls title and the Australian Lightweight Double Scull Championship. The Betty Deer Rosebowl prize was established by her husband Sir Frederick Deer and their children, Professor Christine Deer, Patricia Spring, Philip Deer and Rosalind Strong to honour her memory after her death in 1990.

    OUR COMMON REINVENTING AMERICAN PURPOSEDEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY COMMISSION ON THE PRACTICE OF DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best. The opinions I have had of its errors, I sacrifice to the public good. I have never whispered a syllable of them abroad. Within these walls they were born, and here they shall die. If every one of us in returning to our Constituents were to report the objections he has had to it, and endeavor to gain partizans in support of them, we might prevent its being generally received, and thereby lose all the salutary effects and great advantages resulting naturally in our favor among foreign Nations as well as among ourselves, from our real or apparent unanimity. —BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMMISSION ON THE PRACTICE OF DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP OUR COMMON REINVENTING AMERICAN PURPOSEDEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY american academy of arts & sciences Cambridge, Massachusetts © 2020 by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences All rights reserved.

  • I-SCREENS: SCREEN PERFORMANCE and SCREEN PRESENCE AS the CURRENCY of CONTEMPORARY SUBJECTIVITY
    1 i-SCREENS: SCREEN PERFORMANCE AND SCREEN PRESENCE AS THE CURRENCY OF CONTEMPORARY SUBJECTIVITY Ken Miller Curtin University IM 6: Performance < i-Screens: Screen Performance and Screen Presence> < Ken Miller> ©IM/NASS 2010. ISSN 1833-0538 2 Abstract This essay explores the pervasive influence of screen-based performances in the context of a world that envelops us with its mediations. The essay argues, firstly, that we have become so attuned to these external, image-based performances that we tend to conflate them with our own interior sense of self, and secondly, that as we become increasingly wedded to screen media — not just as consumers but also as ―DIY‖ producer-performers — the phenomenon of having a screen/media presence for our own self-performances is becoming a significant means by which we authenticate ourselves as subjects. The essay proposes that our growing intimacy with cameras and screens, combined with an apparently intensifying imperative to perform ourselves to real or imagined audiences via various screen-based channels of mediation, could be said to be transforming us into postmodern ―performing subjects‖. Keywords: cyberspace, DIY culture, participatory media, performative documentary, reality television, screen performance, self-reflexivity, social media, vlogging, web 2.0, YouTube. Introduction In this essay I explore several significant manifestations as to how screen performances have intruded into our consciousness and experience of the world, in ways that affect our self-perceptions and social behaviours. I propose that we have become so attuned to the ubiquity of the screen performances that surround us that we tend to conflate our own identities with these external images and performances, to the extent that we begin to feel as if we too are performers.
