Q: Oracle For Loop in Stored Procedure Not Looping Whilst trying to improve the maintainability of an SP in one of our systems I decided that using a loop would be better than having an array of values (table names in this case) hard coded in and tried to re factor the code accordingly so that adding or removing a table to the system didn't require editing of the array. Leaving aside the whys and wherefores of loops for the moment (I know the arguments against them very well), can anyone explain what's happening?
Imagine two users, SourceUser and DestUser both in the same database, each with their tables in the same tablespace. A bunch of stored procedures in SourceUser populate data from SourceUser into DestUser for reporting purposes. As part of this, the first procedure to be run drops all the tables in DestUser and re-creates them. Again, not debating the relative merits of doing that here.
SourceUser has Drop Any Table and Create Any Table privileges on DestUser. There is one table in DestUser that we want to keep. So, the SQL I constructed in the procedure looks like this:
Begin
  For T In (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM all_tables WHERE TABLE_NAME != 'MIDBLOG' AND OWNER = sTarget_DB) Loop
    Begin
      Execute Immediate('Drop Table ' || sTarget_DB || '.' || T.TABLE_NAME);

    Exception
      When Others Then
        --Don't care if we get an exception here as most likely the table wasn't there to be dropped in the first place.
        NULL;
    End;
  End Loop;
End;

In this case sTarget_DB is set to DestUser, and this code is being run against SourceUser.
When the procedure is run I find that no tables have been deleted (I confirmed that there were a couple of dozen tables including one named MIDBLOG before starting). I ran it in SQL Developer debug mode and the execution never even gets to the inside of the loop as it appears to think it has no rows to process but I know for certain that the select statement would return a couple of dozen table names.
Next I amended it to this:
Begin
  For T In (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM all_tables WHERE OWNER = sTarget_DB) Loop
    Begin
      If T.TABLE_NAME != 'MIDBLOG' THEN
        Execute Immediate('Drop Table ' || sTarget_DB || '.' || T.TABLE_NAME);
      End If;
    Exception
      When Others Then
        --Don't care if we get an exception here as most likely the table wasn't there to be dropped in the first place.
        NULL;
    End;
  End Loop;
End;

After running this the only table that WAS removed was the very one I didn't want removed! Even more odd was that the loop only executed once, as though the select query was only returning one row. I could see it happening if I ran the procedure in debug on SQL Developer 3.2. We did the same thing on a colleagues PC on SQL Developer (possibly 3.1) and again the loop only executed once but this time it correctly decided not to drop the table MIDBLOG and again left everything else alone.
If I run either of the above examples as an anonymous block in SQL Developer it does exactly what I expect it to do. I tried the more verbose explicit cursor declaration and had the same results as before. At no time did I get any exceptions.
All this was on Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 (64bit). As soon as tried it on Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 (64bit) it worked just fine. Why on earth should such a basic requirement exhibit such wildly different behaviour across the two versions? Can it work as I want in both versions with the same bit of code?

A: My guess is that the problem is related to privileges not the version of Oracle.  Are privileges on DestUser granted to SrcUser via a role in one database and via direct grants in the other?
Before running the anonymous PL/SQL block, what happens if you disable roles first?
set role none;
<<run the anonymous PL/SQL block>>

If you add instrumentation to the code, does the query against all_tables return the set of tables that you expect?  My guess is that when the code fails, it is in a definer's rights stored procedure where the owner of the procedure has access to the DestUser tables via a role.  Since privileges granted through a role are not visible in a definer's rights stored procedure, this would cause the SELECT statement in your loop to return 0 rows (though running the same query interactively would return the rows you expect).  If the privileges on the DestUser tables are granted directly, on the other hand, the same definer's rights stored procedure would run successfully.  And it would work in an anonymous PL/SQL block.

A top Mexican official on Friday July 1 demanded an immediate end to roadblocks by protesting teachers in restive southern states that have caused chaos and resulted in eight deaths, Associated Press reported.
Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said the unrest has hurt millions in Oaxaca and Chiapas, keeping people and commerce from circulating freely, harming small businesses and preventing children from going to school.
Osorio Chong and other officials have been in talks with representatives of the teachers, who oppose recent education reforms that the government says are now the law and cannot be reversed.
"The time is up," he added, a phrase he repeated twice for emphasis.
Members of a dissident teachers union are angry over elements of the reforms such as forcing instructors to submit to evaluations and measures allowing for their dismissal if they have too many unauthorized absences.
Eight people were killed in clashes between protesters and police at a roadblock June 19 in Oaxaca state.
On Thursday, the Mexican government began airlifting food to Oaxaca after business leaders and officials said supplies of gasoline, food and other goods were running low due to the highway blockades.

Minister Coulton to focus on improving rural health
Mark Diamond and Minister Mark Coulton
The National Rural Health Alliance has met with the new Federal Minister for Regional Services, Decentralisation and Local Government in the Coalition Government, Mark Coulton, to urge him to focus on improving rural health services.
Outgoing NRHA CEO Mark Diamond said Mr Coulton, who has held the rural seat of Parkes in north-west NSW since 2007, had told him that he was committed to trying to make a difference to improving health outcomes for people in rural areas.
"We wanted to clarify where rural health sat and who would be responsible for it in this Federal Government, given that Australia no longer has a Minister for Rural Health.
"Mr Coulton reassured me that although rural health is no longer in any Federal ministerial title, he certainly considers rural health to be a major focus.
"He clearly believes the health of the seven million people living in rural, regional and remote Australia is a top priority.
"We discussed the issues that country people experience daily – difficulties in accessing health care in ways that enable early diagnosis and treatment, the importance of promotion, prevention and early intervention and why many people don't take action to look after themselves and their families in the bush.'
"He has a very good understanding of the issues that rural communities face. He has spent many years in Local Government and a lifetime in an electorate which in many ways typifies the breadth of issues experienced across rural Australia – including problems with the supply and distribution of the health workforce and difficulties in getting the infrastructure in place to enable things like telehealth and telemedicine.
"He has had hands-on involvement with these things – he knows the issues. There is no doubt he is committed to trying to make a difference to improving health outcomes for people in rural areas.
"He believes he is extremely lucky to be given this chance and it is clear he will take up the role with real determination.
"In return, I have pledged the support of the Alliance in helping him to do exactly that."
The meeting was one of Mark Diamond's last as NRHA's CEO. He steps down from the role this Friday June 28.

More than four million people lined the streets of New York City for the World Pride Parade on Sunday.
The parade began at noon at 26th Street and Fifth Avenue in the Chelsea neighbourhood and wound its way past The Stonewall Inn and then back up into Midtown to the delight of the millions of people from around the world that was visiting Manhatten.

The Gay Liberation Front, the cast of "Pose", UK Black Pride co-founder Phyll Opoku-Gyimah and the Trevor Project were grand marshals of the parade alongside Monica Helms, a transgender activist who created the trans Pride flag.
Parade organizers said 150,000 people marched across the 100 floats, with a myriad of groups that included OutRight Action International, Capital Pride and the Human Rights Campaign.
The parade took place two days after the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which began on June 28, 1969.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday signed a bill that bans the use of so-called gay and trans "panic" defences in court in his state. An estimated 45,000 people participated in the Queer Liberation March that also took place in Manhattan on Sunday.
Earlier in the day, a crowd of about 2,000 people gathered outside the Stonewall Inn. At the Queer Liberation March near the bar, some participants said the larger Pride parade had become too commercialized and heavily policed.
"What's important to remember is that this is a protest against the monetization of the Pride parade, against the police brutality of our community, against the poor treatment of sections of our community, of black and brown folk, of immigrants," said Jake Seller, a 24-year-old Indiana native who now lives in Brooklyn and worked as one of the march's volunteers.
Protesters carried anti-Trump and queer liberation signs, chanting, "Whose streets? Our streets!"
"We march for the liberation of our community so they can live and celebrate their identity. So they can reclaim it. This will always remain a protest, not an advertisement," Seller said.
Other attendees focused on the progress that's been made within the LGBTQ community over the last few decades.
"We've come so far in the past 20 years," said 55-year-old Gary Piper, who came from Kansas to celebrate Pride with his partner. "I remember friends who would be snatched off the streets in Texas for dressing in drag. They'd have to worry about being persecuted for their identity."
"But now we're so much more accepted. I'm not saying we don't have ways to go, but let's celebrate how far we've come," he said.
The police presence at the march was heavy, with several officers posted at every corner. Metal barricades were erected along the entire parade route.

Wikipedia glossary
Australian rules football is known by several different names, including footy and Aussie rules.
This list is an alphabetical glossary of Australian rules football terms, jargon and slang. While some of these entries are shared with other sports, Australian rules football has developed a unique and rich terminology.
Where words in a sentence are also defined elsewhere in this article, they appear in italics.
1-2: (pronounced one-two) an action where a player handpasses to a teammate, who immediately handpasses back.
12-10 Rule: Formerly a rule in the VFL concerning the selection of AFL-listed players in teams with an AFL affiliate team. When a team which is affiliated with an AFL team plays against a team which is not affiliated with an AFL team, the affiliated team must play at least 12 VFL-listed players and no more than 10 AFL-listed players. The 12-10 rule does not apply when two AFL-affiliated teams play each other, and in those games, teams may play as many AFL-listed players as they wish. This rule has since been abolished.
19th man: at a time in the game before the substitute bench was introduced in 1930, one reserve player was named in addition to the 18 players who started the game on the ground. These players could enter the game only if one of the original 18 left the field and did not return. This was also extended to the 20th man when a second reserve was introduced in 1946. Free interchange of the 19th and 20th players has been allowed in the VFL since 1978.[1] This can also refer to the philosophy of the South Australian crowd being the 19th man for the Adelaide Crows, who have retired the number 19 guernsey, and sell sporting merchandise with the number 19 on it.
50-metre penalty: advances the attacking team forward by fifty metres after an opposition player has committed an infraction such as pushing his opponent in the back after a mark has been paid, or time wasting.
Advantage paid: umpiring decision in which play continues after an infringement if the team with the ball is infringed upon; rather than stop play to award the free kick, the umpire allows play to continue so as not to disadvantage the attacking team.
Aerial ping-pong: slang term for the sport in general, specifically used to refer to a game in which teams exchange long-distance kicks across the centre of the ground, like table tennis players batting the ball back and forth.
AFL: Australian Football League. This acronym is used colloquially as an alternative name for the sport when distinguishing it from other football codes, particularly in Queensland and New South Wales.
After the siren: a set shot for goal after the final siren has sounded.
All-Australian: a player who has been chosen in the best team of the AFL competition each year, the All-Australian Team; or, prior to the nationalisation of the competition or in lower age groups where the game is not nationalised, the best composite team from all states based on performances at an interstate carnival.[2]
Angle: the geometric angle formed by an imaginary line between a player taking a set shot and the centre of the goals (on the goal line), and another imaginary line perpendicular to the goal line. So, a player with "no angle" is taking a kick from directly in front; a player on a "wide angle" is taking a shot from near a boundary line.
Arena: the playing surface.[3]
Assist: to kick or handpass to a player who then scores either a goal (for a goal assist) or a behind (for a score assist). The term is common across many world sports.
Australian football: name officially used by the AFL for the sport.
Bag: colloquialism for five (5) or more goals scored by one player.[4]
Ball!: usually yelled by spectators when an opposition player is tackled in possession of the ball. Short for "holding the ball".[3]
Ball burster: colloquialism for a massive kick, usually a torpedo punt which travels over 70 metres.[5]
Ruckmen contesting a ball-up
Ball-up: the act of a field umpire putting the ball back into play, either by throwing it vertically upwards into the air, or by bouncing the ball in such a way that it mimics the throwing action. See bounce-down. A ball-up is required at the start of each quarter, after a goal is scored or to restart the game from neutral situations in the field of play.[3][6]
Banana: see checkside.[7]
Banner: a large crêpe paper and sticky-tape banner that players run through prior to a match.
Barrack: to cheer for a team. A fan is known as a "barracker", while to ask someone who they barrack for is to ask which team they support.
Barrel: see torpedo.[8]
Baulk: a manoeuvre where a player holds the ball out to the side in one hand, then runs in the other direction to evade a defender.[9]
Behind: a score worth one point, earned by putting the ball between a goal post and a behind post, or by the ball hitting a goal post, or by the ball being touched prior to passing between the goalposts.[3]
Behind posts: two shorter vertical posts 19.2m apart on the goal line at each end of the ground, centred about the taller goal posts.
Bench: the interchange area. The "bench" refers to the seat used by the players in this area.[10]
Best on ground: player judged the best player taking part in any game. Sometimes also referred to as BOG, pronounced "bee-oh-gee".[11]
Big dance: colloquial term for a grand final.
Blinder: an exceptional performance by a player or team.
Bounce-down: (or simply bounce) the act of a field umpire putting the ball back into play by bouncing the ball in such a way that it mimics a vertical throw. See ball-up.[12]
Boundary line: the line drawn on the ground to delimit the field of play.[3]
Boundary throw-in: (or simply throw-in) the act of throwing the ball back into play by the boundary umpire. The boundary umpire stands facing away from the field and throws the ball backwards over their head. This is used to restart play from neutral situations whenever the ball goes out of bounds.
Boundary umpire: an official who patrols the boundary line, indicating when it has fully crossed the line, and who then executes boundary throw-in to return the ball to play. There are typically two of these umpires per game, one on each side of the oval, but there will be four in top grade games.[3]
Break: short for "break in play"; e.g. quarter-time, half-time, or three-quarter-time.[13]
Brownlow: the Brownlow Medal is awarded the week of the Grand Final to the player judged to be the fairest and best player in the league for the season, based on accumulated votes awarded by the field umpires at the conclusion of each match during the season.
Bump: a contact between players using the hip and/or shoulder.
Centimetre perfect: a phrase commonly used by former commentator Dennis Cometti to refer to a kick that could not have been placed any better.
Central umpire: an official who patrols the field of play, awarding free kicks, indicating time-on and time-off, and restarting the game after stoppages, goals etc.
Centre: the middle of the ground, also the name given to a player who starts the game in that position.
Centre bounce: the bounce of the ball in the centre of the ground to start a quarter, or after a goal.[6]
Centre square: a fifty-metre square drawn around the centre of the ground. Only four players from each team may stand inside the centre square prior to a centre bounce, but the square otherwise has no significance.[3]
Charlie: colloquialism for the Brownlow Medal.
Defensive player giving chase to an attacking player with the ball
Chase: the act of a defensive player running after an attacking player in possession of the ball.
Checkside: a kick which causes the ball to swing in the air in the opposite direction to the usual. See banana.
Chicken wing tackle: a tackle that locks in an opponent's arm so that he cannot legally dispose of the ball. This term originated in Rugby League.
Clanger: a blatant, unforced error. This can be conceding a free kick, or kicking or handpassing the ball directly to an opponent or dropping an uncontested mark.
Clearance: the clearing of the ball out of a stoppage situation, to the advantage of one team or the other.
Cluster: a type of zone defense consisting of a grid-like arrangement of fifteen or more players, particularly used to oppose a kick-in.[14]
Coach: the manager of the team who controls the team's tactics during a match.[6]
Coast-to-coast goal: a passage of play beginning with a kick-in and ending with a goal, with the ball untouched by an opponent.
Coathanger: a dangerous high tackle, generally with a slinging arm around the head or neck of an opponent.
Contest: an in-game scenario where two or more players have an opportunity to win the ball.
Player gains possession in a marking contest
Contested possession: a possession achieved as a result of winning a contest. Includes hardball gets, looseball gets, contested marks, free kicks won in a contest, and contested knock-ons.
Corkie: colloquialism for a corked muscle, which is a deep bruise, usually in the leg.[15]
Corridor: the imaginary strip of the ground that runs through the centre from goal to goal; a team who moves the ball in this area is said to "play through the corridor".[14]
Crow throw: a handball technique which involves using a significantly shorter arm swing from the punching hand. The style was somewhat unique to South Australia in the SANFL, in interstate and State of Origin matches and ultimately to the Adelaide Crows. As a result, interstate the technique was given the pejorative name crow throw (derived from croweater, a common name for South Australians).
Player (foreground) moving in to collect the crumb from a contest
Crumb: a ball that spills loose from a contest. A player who collects the crumb is described as a "crumber", or "getting the crumbs". To "crumb a goal" is to score after getting the crumbs.[16]
Daisy cutter: a kick that runs along the ground rather than through the air. See grubber. Also may to refer to a drop punt in which the ball travels through the air, but low to the ground.
Deliberate: a free kick awarded against a player who is perceived to have deliberately sent the ball out of bounds.
Designated kicker: a player who is given the ball by another player who has a set shot for goal, so that the receiving player may have a shot on the run for a long-distance goal or a supergoal. Typically done when the designated kicker is known to have a better likelihood of scoring the goal than the player taking the set shot.
Disposal: passing the ball legally, via a handball or kick.
Don't argue: colloquial term for a stiff-arm fend.
Dribble goal: a goal kicked using the grubber technique. It is often utilised from the boundary line at a tight angle with players manipulating the bounce of the ball to bend it through the goals.
Drop kick: a kick that is executed in such a way that the foot contacts the ball at the same time as, or immediately after, it has been dropped to the ground on its end. No longer in common use in AFL due to its perceived inaccuracy. See stab pass.

Flight: the way a ball travels through the air.
Flood: the act of getting as many players as possible between the ball carrier and the goal a team is defending.[14]
Follower: an old term referring to an on-the-ball player, so named because they were the only players who followed the ball wherever it went.

A football, known colloquially as a footy
Footy: slang term for Australian rules football. Also used to describe the ball itself.
Four points, to get the: common parlance for winning a game. The "four points" refers to the number of premiership points awarded for a win in an AFL game and in many other leagues. "To get the two points" would be the South Australian equivalent.

Pass: a kick that ends with the ball in the possession of a teammate.[13]
Percentage: an indication of the ratio of points scored for versus points scored against. The AFL uses the formula (points for / points against) × 100, meaning that percentages may exceed 100%; the SANFL uses the formula (points for / points for and against) × 100.

Global UPVC Ltd are situated in Pontygwindy Industrial Estate. Putting in double glazing provides you with a number of benefits. Here are the 5 most important.
This is among the primary causes folks set up double glazing. The process works by trapping a layer of air between two panes of glass. This air acts as insulation. Some windows are also coated with an insulating materials, reflecting heat again into the room, and with correctly fitted window, the necessity for strips of draught excluder around the edges of badly fitting windows is eliminated.
Some stories, for example _x0013_ HYPERLINK "http://www.energysavingtrust.co.uk" _x0001__x0014_www.energysavingtrust.co.uk_x0015_ estimate that you might save around ??a hundred thirty a yr in your heating payments in the event you install double glazing. In the event you also perform different insulating measures, this figure might increase dramatically.
Double glazing is generally much more safe than single glazing. The modern glass is shatterproof, and if someone needed to attempt to break a window to realize access to your property they must break two panes of glass reasonably than one.
Also, double glazed windows and doors fit more tightly than many old windows. It is subsequently rather more tough to power them open, or force them out of the frame.
Thirdly, double glazed units come with locks. You'll be able to normally choose the form of locking gadget you want in your windows.
Wooden windows need regular upkeep to stop them rotting. The skin frames should really be painted at least every two years. Double glazed home windows, on the other hand, significantly uPVC ones, want little maintenance other than cleansing and common checks/lubrication of hinges and locks.
One problem that double glazing can really assist eliminate is condensation and damp. Whereas previous double glazing units with damaged seals, or single glazed windows may cause a major condensation downside, double glazed units do not have condensation on them, as long as they are correctly installed.
Another major motive individuals set up double glazing is to cut back noise from outside. That is significantly useful in busy town centre areas, or next to a busy highway, or a railway line. The distinction that double glazing makes is unimaginable, just think about inns on busy streets and the truth that you do not actually hear loads of noise. Global UPVC Ltd can be of assistance.
So these reasons may allow you to to resolve whether or not investing in double glazing for your home is the proper factor to do. Absolutely with these advantages, and with the potential for grants out there to assist with the work, then you may't actually delay..

Big Data Top 100
The Big Data Top 100 List initiative is an open community-based effort for benchmarking big data systems.
The objective is to develop an end-to-end application-layer benchmark for big data applications to enable ranking of big data systems according to a well-defined, verifiable/audited performance metric, with an accompanying efficiency metric.
With "big data" becoming a major force of innovation across enterprises of all sizes, new platforms for managing big data sets are being announced with some regularity, with increasingly more features. The Big Data Top 100 initiative is interested in developing metrics to enable comparability among such platforms.
The BigData Top100 List is a new collaborative effort between academia and industry to develop definitions and specifications for big data benchmarking and support publication of benchmark results, blending approaches from high performance computing (top500.org) and transaction processing and database systems (Transaction Processing Council, TPC).
The activity was launched by the Center for Large-Scale Data Systems Research (CLDS), San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), University of California San Diego, which organized the First Workshop on Big Data Benchmarking (WBDB2012) - supported by the National Science Foundation and industry sponsorship - held in May 2012 in San Jose, CA. The Second WBDB meeting was held in December 2012 in Pune, India. The Third WBDB meeting will be held in July 2013 in Xi'an, China.
An initial board of directors has been formed to steer this activity, coordinated by the San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego.

New cyclometalated iridium(III) dye chromophore complexes for n-type dye-sensitised solar cells
Lookup NU author(s): Chris Wood, Dr Elizabeth Gibson
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND).
The synthesis of seven iridium complexes where aryl-1,2,3-triazole (Ar-tz) moieties act as cyclometalating ligands with 2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (dcb) as a N^N ancillary/anchoring ligand, is described. The new dye complexes [Ir(Ar-tz)2(dcb)][PF6] (AS1-7) were prepared in a two stage procedure with iridium-chloride dimer isolation. DFT analysis together with photophysical investigations reveal how using different substituents on the phenyl ring, or a different aryl system, lead to the tuning of the absorption and emission properties of these complexes. Computational studies therefore demonstrate an ideal HOMO-LUMO directionality for the [Ir(Ar-tz)2(dcb)]+ framework, promoting a favourable electron transfer into the TiO2 conduction band upon photoexcitation. Preliminary unoptimized tests on TiO2 DSSCs have been carried out which show similar photovoltaic performance to the [Ir(ppy)2(dcb)][PF6] (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) benchmark.

From: Canadian Coast Guard
Ottawa, Ontario – Through the Oceans Protections Plan, the Government of Canada is working to improve our country's capacity to prevent and respond to marine pollution incidents. This will help achieve a world-leading marine safety system that keeps Canada's waters and coasts safe and clean for today and the future.
An important part of this Plan is ensuring the Canadian Coast Guard has the modern equipment it needs to lead the response to marine pollution incidents in Canadian waters.
To achieve this, the Government of Canada is soliciting bids for new environmental response equipment to contain and remove oil and other contaminants from the water in the case of a spill.
This will be the first equipment acquired under the Environmental Response Equipment Modernization initiative of the Oceans Protection Plan. The equipment will include curtain booms, high-speed sweep systems, and small, portable multi-cassette skimmers.
The Environmental Response Equipment Modernization initiative will bring the Coast Guard in line with and beyond current standards regarding environmental spill response and take advantage of innovations and advancements in technology.
"Under the Oceans Protection Plan, our government is putting in place concrete measures so we can better prevent and respond to marine pollution incidents. By providing our dedicated Coast Guard members across the country with the best equipment, we are ensuring they can continue to respond quickly and efficiently in the case of an environmental incident in Canada's waters."
The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard
"Our government is committed to supporting the Canadian Coast Guard in keeping our marine environment safe and clean. These projects will provide the Coast Guard with new and innovative tools and equipment, while bringing jobs and prosperity to a number of Canadian communities across the country."
The Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Public Services and Procurement
The Environmental Response Equipment Modernization initiative will bring new infrastructure, equipment and technologies to more than 80 Canadian Coast Guard locations across the country.
Containment booms, including curtain booms, concentrate and contain oil in the water following a spill. They are also used in cases where a spill is possible, such as to surround a vessel that has been damaged.
Skimmers and vacuums are used to remove oil from the water, including within a boomed area.

Call for 2020 Stanley Hawes Award Nominations
AIDC is now seeking nominees for the 2020 Stanley Hawes Award for Outstanding Contribution to Documentary
The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) is now seeking nominations for the 2020 Stanley Hawes Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Documentary Sector.
The $5,000 award will be presented at AIDC 2020, which takes place 1 – 4 March 2020 at State Library Victoria in Melbourne. The recipient will also be invited to give an address to AIDC delegates.
Nominees must have made an outstanding contribution to the Australian documentary, factual and / or unscripted screen sector for at least 10 years and are sought from all corners of the industry from anywhere in Australia.
Eligibility includes (but is not limited to) producers, directors, broadcasters, distributors, educators, editors, archivists, cinematographers, impact producers, sound recordists, and other craftspersons and technical specialists.
The award was established in 1997 to honour documentary producer and director Stanley Hawes – Producer-in-Chief of the Australian National Film Board and Commonwealth Film Unit from 1946-1969 – and recognises the significant support he gave independent filmmakers in the documentary sector.
Past winners have included Sonya Pemberton (Immortal, Jabbed), Bob Connolly (Mrs Carey's Concert, Rats in the Ranks), Chris Hilton (Afghanistan: Inside Australia's War; Australia: The Story of Us), Rachel Perkins (First Australians), and Tom Zubrycki (The Diplomat, Molly & Mobarak), with the most recent recipient in 2019 being editor and filmmaker James Bradley (50 Years of Silence, Ochre and Ink).
You can view the full list of recipients on the Stanley Hawes Award page.
James Bradley, Stanley Hawes Award recipient 2019
"Australian documentaries are vital for telling our stories, recording our history and bringing important issues to light. The people responsible work tirelessly to enrich our understanding of the world, but all too often go unacknowledged", said AIDC CEO & Conference Director Alice Burgin.
"Which is why the Stanley Hawes Award is open to all members of the documentary community, be they in the front line making work, or behind the scenes bringing stories to audiences – or even mentoring the next generation of practitioners. All contributions are important."
Current AIDC members, which includes anyone who attended AIDC 2019, may nominate someone for the Stanley Hawes Award.
Nominations must be emailed in the form of a written statement (up to 200 words) to aidc@aidc.com.au by Friday 13 December 2019.

12 States Sue to End Joe Biden's COVID Shot Mandate
12 States Sue to End Joe Biden's COVID Shot Mandate from Liberty Counsel State attorneys general across America are fighting to end Joe Biden's COVID-19 shot mandate.

Griftlands is Klei's new cartoonish sci-fi swashbuckler

It looks like they're trying for another good 'un. Griftlands [official site] has been announced at E3.

Watch An Hour Of Don't Starve Devs Oxygen Not Included
By Graham Smith • 3 years ago • 16
Oxygen Not Included [Steam page] is smooshing together two of my favourite things: colony management simulation, and games by Klei Entertainment, the makers of Invisible, Inc. It appears to be a scifi Dungeon Keeper, or a cutesy Dwarf Fortress, or an underground RimWorld, at least as far as I can tell from the hour-long game stream embedded below.
Oxygen Not Included: Colony Sim From Don't Starve Devs
Klei's hit rate is nuts, especially when you consider that they hop genres with each game: from Mark of the Ninja's sidescrolling stealthy murderthon, to Don't Starve's topdown survivalthon, to Invisible, Inc.'s turn-based infiltratathon. Next up is the Oxygen Not Included, a space colony management sim(-thon) that was announced last night at E3.
