The upgrade has been designed to update the method of delivery of the Tinformation to appeal to the younger generation, who make up the bulk of visitors, while retaining the musuem’s special ingredient – the opportunity to interact with survivor guides. The exhibition space has been painted white and a new carpet installed to give it a lift. A monochromatic palette has been chosen to express a sense of memorial, with its lightness providing some relief from the darkness of the Holocaust story. The museum guides visitors through the Holocaust in the order in which events unfolded. Angular walls serve to break up the journey and the simplicity of the museum’s design assists visitors to focus on the content. The display cases have been purpose-built to show off some of the incredible documents and memorabilia from the Centre’s archive, painstakingly collected over 26 years. The museum text has been rewritten and is presented on panels designed to make it easy to read and new photos, including the precious photos of our survivors, have been included.

At the beginning our naiviety led us to believe that reports miraculously land in the ‘in’ file, photos are taken by themselves and the final magazine arrives in all its splendour out of thin air. After two weeks, this illusory belief was shattered, thanks to Mrs. Shepherd’s constant reminders and imposed deadlines, the Collegian Committee set about performing its actual task. People owning reports were hounded and harassed (by the secret Collegian Force) photography sessions were ruled with an iron fist and the school body was subjected to the revolutionary 'A-:-- torture, technique of Collegian Committee advertising (thanks Mrs. Pyett for the loan of your sunnies). Through these trials and tribulations the Collegian Committee has brought about several changes as you will no doubt notice. We hope that these alterations improve the overall effect of the 1991 Collegian. Finally as the year draws to an end, I would like to thank Mrs. Shepherd plus Mr. Thompson for their invaluable help and the entire Collegian Committee for their tireless work. I am sure that they’d all agree that working on the Collegian was a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

  • KENNEDY AWARDS Excellence in Australian Journalism
    KENNEDY AWARDS Excellence in Australian Journalism 10th Anniversary Sponsorship Prospectus DIMITY CLANCEY AND LAURA MANGHAM OF A CURRENT AFFAIR WIN THE 2020 MIKE WILLESEE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING NIGHTLY CURRENT AFFAIRS THE HISTORY OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS NAMED after the trailblazing indigenous journalist Les Kennedy, the Kennedy Awards were initially conceived in 2011 to recognise excellence in New South Wales journalism. Almost immediately the Kennedys were shaped by the nature of the entrants - attracting journalists from the likes of Four Corners, 60 Minutes, The Australian, A Current Affair, 730 Report, SBS and the Financial Review to become a truly independent, national celebration of Australian journalism. The awards were created by journalists for journalists - open to all-comers with no agendas or historical obligation to affiliation. A decade later the Kennedys have become the Australian media's night of nights - celebrated for their inclusiveness, independence, respect for the past and the value of fostering the next generation of the nation's finest journalists. SANDRA SALLY (RIGHT) PRESENTS THE HARRY POTTER AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING TV NEWS REPORTING J U N E 2 0 2 0 . Les Kennedy THE INSPIRATION OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS Les Kennedy was never in the officers' mess of journalism - and nor did he want to be. He loved nothing better than excelling on the road as a leader of other "shoe leather" journalists. Proud of his indigenous heritage, Les' awareness of his past and the pride he took in it were the twin chambers of a big, generous heart. It was his fabled generosity that fuelled a selfless devotion to a long list of protégés.

  • Poland OL Supported by the European Commissionp October 2009 1 Abstract
    Assessment of health systems’ crisis preparedness Poland OL Supported by The European CommissionP October 2009 1 Abstract In 2008, with the support of the European Commission Directorate-General for Health and Consumers, WHO launched the project, “Support to health security, preparedness planning and crises management in EU, EU accession and neighbouring (ENP) countries”, with the aim of improving preparedness for public health emergencies in EU Member States and selected EU accession and ENP countries in the WHO European Region. One of the objectives of this project was to refine the assessment tool, which had been revised on the basis of the experience gained through the planning and crises management assessments carried out in Armenia, Azerbaijan and the Republic of Moldova under the joint European Commission–WHO project, “Support to health security and preparedness planning in EU neighbouring countries” (2007– 2008). The intention was to apply the updated tool during a second round of assessments before finalizing it in 2010. The countries involved in the second round were Kyrgyzstan, Poland and Ukraine. The WHO health systems’ framework was used as the conceptual basis for describing and analysing the health systems in the countries. This report describes the level of preparedness of the health system in Poland and evaluates the arrangements in place to deal with crises, regardless of cause. It also examines the risk prevention and mitigation initiatives in the country. While the main focus is on the national level, some attention has been paid to crisis management capacity at the regional level and to the links between the various levels of government.

  • Life As a Content Provider Ms Maxine Mckew
    Life as a Content Provider Ms Maxine McKew Journalist, The Bulletin and ABC Television 30 November 2000 AN Smith Lecture in Journalism Arthur Norman Smith died in 1935 - not one of the great years, it would have to be said, for employment opportunities for journalists - or for anyone else. They were dark days in Australia - as the writer Shirley Hazzard has put it -when she was growing up "this young country seemed old." My grandparents, like a lot of Australians, lost a great deal in the Depression of the 1930's. Thirty years later I grew up listening to their vivid recollections of what was obviously a very pinched existence for them -a life lived on a small stage because of too few opportunities and a country turned in on itself. But with characteristics that I think are very Australian, they survived adversity because they had a bit of 'get and up go', big hearts, a lot of spirit and a sense of fun that never left them. Above all they never lost their curiosity and interest in a world beyond their own. Their stories opened my mind to a world beyond the confines of Moorooka and Scarborough in Queensland.... and helped stimulate me to wonder, to question and enquire - I must have driven them mad sometimes with my whys and hows but they always responded. If we fast-forward to today, to what should be the beginning of a glittering century for this lucky land, we see immense prosperity and dynamism. NSW Premier, Bob Carr, no doubt intoxicated by the success of the Olympic Games said recently - "we're living through the best time in our history." For those of you tempted to mock this, I invite you to consider the perspective of those who live in very troubled societies.

  • Judah David Eisenstein and the First Hebrew Encyclopedia
    1 Abstract When an American Jew Produced: Judah David Eisenstein and the First Hebrew Encyclopedia Between 1907 and 1913, Judah David Eisenstein (1854–1956), an amateur scholar and entrepreneurial immigrant to New York City, produced the first modern Hebrew encyclopedia, Ozar Yisrael. The Ozar was in part a traditionalist response to Otsar Hayahdut: Hoveret l’dugma, a sample volume of an encyclopedia created by Asher Ginzberg (Ahad Ha’am)’s circle of cultural nationalists. However, Eisenstein was keen for his encyclopedia to have a veneer of objective and academic respectability. To achieve this, he assembled a global cohort of contributors who transcended religious and ideological boundaries, even as he retained firm editorial control. Through the story of the Ozar Yisrael, this dissertation highlights the role of America as an exporter of Jewish culture, raises questions about the borders between Haskalah and cultural nationalism, and reveals variety among Orthodox thinkers active in Jewish culture in America at the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Preventing Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections
    Preventing Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections A Global Challenge, A Global Perspective Preventing Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections: A Global Challenge, A Global Perspective The use of central venous catheters (CVCs) is an integral part of modern health care throughout the world, allowing for the administration of intravenous fluids, blood products, medications, and parenteral nutrition, as well as providing access for hemodialysis and hemodynamic monitoring. However, their use is associated with the risk of bloodstream infection caused by microorganisms that colonize the external surface of the device or the fluid pathway when the device is inserted or manipulated after insertion. These serious infections, termed central line–associated bloodstream infections, or CLABSIs, are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. It is now recognized that CLABSIs are largely preventable when evidence- based guidelines are followed for the insertion and maintenance of CVCs. This monograph includes information about the following: • The types of central venous catheters and risk factors for and pathogenesis of CLABSIs • The evidence-based guidelines, position papers, patient safety initiatives, and published literature on CLABSI and its prevention • CLABSI prevention strategies, techniques and technologies, and barriers to best practices • CLABSI surveillance, benchmarking, and public reporting • The economic aspects of CLABSIs and their prevention, including the current approaches to developing
