...Introduction to Events Assessment 1 – Event review white Night Student Name: Simone Tyrrell ‘The White Night Festival is an all-night cultural event that runs from dusk to dawn in the city streets, parklands, laneways and cultural institutions in Melbourne’ (Bennett 2014) The White Night Melbourne festival is a major event that Melbourne has now hosted for two years, with its debut being in 2013. White Night Melbourne would be considered a major event as major events are a large scale special event that attracts large crowds and has a considerable amount of media attention. Major events are also expensive to stage. However, even though major events are expensive to stage they bring revenue to the businesses in the area where the event is being staged and raise awareness of the local area which helps promote tourism for a specific region. The White Night event was 1st conceived in Paris, France in 2002. Paris’ event name is ‘Nuit Blanche’ which translates to “White Night”. The event was created “to make art and culture accessible to large audiences within public spaces” (White Night Melbourne website 2014). From the event first being held in Paris in 2002, it has gained momentum as an international event with over 20 cities in the world now hosting a White Night event. Melbourne held its first White Night event in 2013 and was “a state government of Victoria initiative created by the Victorian Major Events company” (White Night Melbourne website 2014).

...David Rosenberg was a failing nightclub promoter living in San Francisco. One day he decided to add some spice to his go-go club by making the dancers wear Gernreich’s topless suit. Rosenberg told his idea to the owner of the Condor Club and the owner quickly agreed. On June 22, 1964, the topless bar was born. The Condor Club became an over night sensation. Men were paying a large sum to visit the club. Go-go dancing also made its debute and quickly found its way to the east coast. Go-go dancers are dancers who are employed to entertain crowds at nightclubs or other venues where music is played. Go-go dancing originated in the early 1960s, by some accounts when women at the Peppermint Lounge in New York City began to get up on tables and dance the twist.24 Some claim that go-go dancing originated at, and was named for, the very popular L.A. rock club, Whiskey a Go-Go, which opened in January 1964, but the opposite may be true – the club chose the name to reflect the already popular craze of go-go dancing.25 Many 1960s-era club-goers wore miniskirts and knee-high, high-heeled boots...

...society, culture and technology has on the entertainment industry and to move forward to asses the contribution they also have on the future of the entertainment industry. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 TECHNOLOGICAL FORCES ON ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY 2.1.1 1950’s Radio was highly rated as the most popular mean of entertainment, with an estimated 97% of Australian’s owning radio set at the time. The introduction of television and broadcasting in 1956 led to 5% of Melbourne households and 1% of Sydney households owning a TV set in that year. Television and radio were competitors, the radio was forced to alter their station programming to accommodate around the television programming; as television chart topped the suited medium of entertainment that audiences accommodated to. The increase of television views led to a decrease in cinema revenue, although cinema’s remained the leading leisure activity of choice for people spending a night out, drive in cinema’s became popular with the first one opening in Melbourne in 1954 and two years later 23 more drive in’s were opened around the city. By 1958 there were more than 5,000 drive in in the U.S and more than 10.5 million US homes had a TV set. 2.1.2 1960’s The invention of the first video game by Ralph Baer, envisioned in 1966, played the first two player video game in 1977 and completed a working prototype on 1968, known as the Magnavox Oddessy Box.

...SHE sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired. Few people passed. The man out of the last house passed on his way home; she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterwards crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses. One time there used to be a field there in which they used to play every evening with other people's children. Then a man from Belfast bought the field and built houses in it--not like their little brown houses but bright brick houses with shining roofs. The children of the avenue used to play together in that field --the Devines, the Waters, the Dunns, little Keogh the cripple, she and her brothers and sisters. Ernest, however, never played: he was too grown up. Her father used often to hunt them in out of the field with his blackthorn stick; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming. Still they seemed to have been rather happy then. Her father was not so bad then; and besides, her mother was alive. That was a long time ago; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up her mother was dead. Tizzie Dunn was dead, too, and the Waters had gone back to England. Everything changes. Now she was going to go away like the others, to leave her home. Home! She looked round the room, reviewing all its familiar objects which she had dusted once a week for so many...

...Mars and its Future. On November 28, 1964, the Mariner 4 spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. After 7 ½ months of flight, Mariner 4 reached the surface of mars and took the first pictures of the Martian planet. Since then we have launched more than 40 spacecrafts to mars, from orbiters that fly by the atmosphere to landers that have been on the surface of Mars (“10 things to know about mars”) . Today we still continue to progressively learn and to explore the famous red planet. Mars is the same age as Earth. The whole solar system and everything in it was formed the same time, about 4.56 billion years ago. One of the greatest scientific questions is if there's life on Mars. Since scientists know that Earth and Mars both experienced similar weather conditions in early history, and life eventually happened on Earth. Therefore life may have begun on Mars too. The big question is if life did start their, then how did it die out? Maybe there is still life on Mars, and it’s buried underground where conditions may be less hostile. The only way to answers all these questions is to explore Mars. Scientist call comparisons between Earth and Mars analogs. Scientists say that even though, the two planets are mostly different when it comes to the atmosphere, temperature, size, and the geologic processes on the two planets. Surprisingly there are similarities between the two planets, also. An example is, on Mars there are volcanoes, channels...

Figure 2: Venetian Night Source: http://cs.nga.gov.au/Detail-LRG.cfm?IRN=146968 Australia's 150th Anniversary 1938. "Venetian Nights" is a photomontage in a new geometric composition. Annand had kept his experience of his very first flight and it was the inspiration for this view of Sydney harbor at night (Australia's 150th Anniversary Pageantry - Carnival Sydney 1938. "Venetian Nights" Sydney Harbor 1938) Annand not only captured thousands of newly electric lights but by the use of bold typeface, strong different angles of the text and very simple line work against a white background, Annand showed a sense of energy and rhythm in this classic poster. Twenty years after the "Venetian Nights" was designed, Annand made his elegant black swan poster. It won a bronze medal at the International Poster Competition in Milan in 1968 and was reproducing so often since then (Douglas Annand Australia's 150th Anniversary 1938.

...related. The leadbeater’s possum is the only one of its genus, which makes it so unique. Its fur coat is off-white on the belly and chest area and has a grey back with a dark strip running down the centre of its back to its tail. They are mainly found in the South eastern parts of Australia (Central Highlands of Victoria) in Temperate forests and woodlands. The Leadbeater’s possum was first discovered in 1867, along the Bass river in south Gippsland, and was originally given the name of the Bass River possum. The possum was then later on named by Professor McCoy, after John Leadbeater, who was a taxidermist for the Nation Museum of Victoria, and was the first to preserve leadbeater’s possum specimens. In 1909 it was believed that the Leadbeater’s possum had become extinct after no longer being able to be spot in the environment. However, in 1961, Eric Wilkinson rediscovered the Leadbeater’s possum near Marysville, after 52 years of being thought to be extinct. In 1971, 10 years after it was rediscovered, the Leadbeater’s possum was declared as a Victorian State Faunal Emblem, alongside the helmeted Honeyeater.

...Land and Climate Area (sq. mi.): 2,988,902 Area (sq. km.): 7,741,220 Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It is just smaller than Brazil and about four-and-a-half times the size of the U.S. state of Alaska. Australia is the only country that occupies a complete continent. It is also the driest inhabited continent in the world. About one-third of its land is desert and another third is composed of poor-quality land. A long chain of mountains, the Great Dividing Range, runs along the Pacific coast. Fertile farmland lies east of the Great Dividing Range, in the southwestern corner of Western Australia, and in the island state of Tasmania. Cattle stations (ranches) reach the edge of the barren interior desert. The famed Australian Outback is an undefined region that encompasses all remote, undeveloped areas. The Outback is seen as a mystical heartland or frontier—a symbol of Australia's strength and independence—where the climate is hot, life is hard, and people are tough, independent, and few.
