The Demidenko story so far [Monkeys discussing controversial author Helen Darville/Demidenko] [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 22 August 1995.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3512930. Helen Demidenko's controversial book 'The Hand that Signed the Paper' causes much comment from the 'chatterati' when it wins the 1995 Miles Franklin Award . When the author is later revealed to be Helen Darville and the book itself to be a total invention, the comment continues unabated.--Information supplied by Geoff Pryor
"Lies! - nothing but lies and misrepresentations - should sell a squillion!" [the Demidenko diary] [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 7 January 1996.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3524010. 'The Hand that Signed the Paper', by Helen Demidenko, a supposedly true account of a Ukranian family's involvement in the Holocaust and the winner of the 1996 Miles Franklin Award, is exposed as a hoax when the author, real name Helen Darville, is revealed as having made it all up. Darville, an odd person to say the least, would hardly be disappointed at the outcome, you might think.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor

In a joint action before the ACT Supreme Court, senior Liberal politicians Tony Abbott and Peter Costello win a big payout in a defamation action brought against author (and Labor ally) Bob Ellis and his publisher for comments made in his book 'Goodbye Jersalem'.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
Lotto night - Abbott and Costello, 1999 [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer from information provided on image.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Published in the Canberra Times on 14th March 1999.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn4352342. Tony Abbott and Peter Costello win their defamation case in the ACT Supreme Court against writer Bob Ellis for a passing reference to the pair's sexual behaviour in their days as Young Liberals in his book of reminisences 'Goodbye Jerusalem: the Night Thoughts of a Labor Outsider'. Everyone acknowledges the law can be a lottery, but nevertheless you would imagine Ellis' publisher, Random House, would be less than happy with their wayward author.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor

Domenico Balsamo, Oktay Cetinkaya, Alberto Rodriguez Arreola, Samuel C. B. Wong, Geoff V. Merrett, Alex S. Weddell "A Control Flow for Transienttly-Powered Energy Harvesting Sensor Systems". IEEE Sensors Journal
Transient computing enables application execution to be performed despite power outages. Although it handles the non-deterministic nature of energy harvesting (EH), sensor systems envisioned by the IoT seek more cost- and volume-effective solutions, which are better tailored to application requirements. Additionally, a major drawback of transient computing, keeping track of time, hinders its widespread adoption in the IoT. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a control flow for sensor systems by combining two state-of-the-art transient computing schemes in an energy-aware manner, underpinned by a strategy for timekeeping. It enables application execution to be reliably performed even under the most severe EH conditions, with an improved cost and volume efficiency, i.e., smaller energy storage. Benefiting from the combination of the two schemes, dynamic adjustment of system performance is achieved, while the time is accurately tracked. To illustrate the applicability of this flow to actual sensor systems, two case studies: a bicycle trip computer and a step counter, are presented. Empirical results reveal that, even with a tiny amount of energy harvested ('tens of uJ), our proposed approach can meet application requirements with smaller storage, i.e., 40% and 66% reduction in required capacitance for the presented case studies.</span
Lost conversations: finding new ways for black and white Australians to lead together
No full textIt\u27s time for a game-changer in how black and white Australians relate.
The difficulties we have in coming together—to talk, to work, to lead change—are core to our challenge to reconcile, as a country. But if we want to shift the status quo, if we want to lead change on entrenched Indigenous disadvantage, we don\u27t need another program, initiative or money to try and \u27fix\u27 the problem. We need to start having a different conversation.
The result of two years experience working together as part of a Social Leadership Australia initiative, Lost Conversations brings together the diverse perspectives and personal stories of five Aboriginal and four non-Indigenous authors, all with first-hand knowledge of what happens when black and white Australians come together to try and work on change.
Lost Conversations asks the questions and starts the conversations that we daren\u27t have in Australia ... until now:
What is \u27black\u27 power?
What is \u27white\u27 power?
What qualifies someone to lead in this cross-cultural space?
Why is this so hard to talk about?
Can we start to name these things and try to shift the status quo?
Can we change?
Should we?
