Canberrang 2010: A Swing Odyssey all weekend
Canberra’s biggest swing dancing event is running from 5-8 August 2010 – Canberräng 2010: A Swing Odyssey. This annual event staged by Jumptown Swing has a space theme this year and will draw together swing dancers and music lovers from across Australia and around the world for 10 separate dance events, live jazz bands, Australia’s top swing DJs, performances, public demonstrations, with a highlight being a gala ball at Parliament House!
Jazz enthusiasts will be delighted by live music from some of the best big bands, swing ensembles and blues bands from Canberra and interstate. Local venues around Canberra will be hopping to the swinging rhythms of the 20s, 30s and 40s.
Canberräng Main Events
• Blast Off – Launch Party (Thursday 5 August, 8-11pm) – Tilley's Devine Cafe in Lyneham.
• Black Hole Ball (Friday 6 August 7:30pm-midnight) – Albert Hall $30 – dancers from all over Australia will be orbiting the magnificent 1920s dance floor to the swingin’ tunes of Spectrum Big Band.
• A Night with the Stars Ball (Saturday 7 August 8pm-midnight) – Parliament House $45 – come along and enjoy the Odyssey All-Stars, consisting of some of Canberra's top musicians bought together especially to make Parliament House's Great Hall swing like never before.
• Close Encounters of the Cosmic Kind (Sunday 8 August 2-4pm) – The Deck @ Regatta Point $25 – enjoy an afternoon of jazz featuring the unique talents of Pugsley Buzzard – a piano player, beatnik and vaudevillian surrealist who describes himself as a ‘grisly bear in a porkpie hat rummaging through a piano.’ All to be enjoyed at one of Canberra's premier venues offering stunning views of the lake and Parliamentary Triangle.
Canberräng 2010 also includes two free demonstration events. Everyone is invited to come along and watch some swing dancing, or join in if they like. These free public dances are at Garema Place (7 August, 11am) and the Old Bus Depot Markets (8 August, 11.30am).

Issues which Divide Skeptics 6-7.30pm
Canberra Skeptics Inc. and the Australian National University College of Medicine, Biology and Environment Present an ANU Public Lecture
Speaker: Dr Martin Bridgstock.
Lecture Theatre 2, Manning Clark Centre
Union Court, Australian National University
Belief in the paranormal, according to a wide range of polls and measures, hovers at about 80% of the Australian population. The Australian skeptics are a small network of people who keep demanding evidence for paranormal beliefs. They test dowsers and psychics, criticise creationists and expose quackery in alternative medicine.
Despite all this activity, skeptics disagree on some fairly fundamental issues. What is the link between skepticism and atheism, if any? What should skeptics think about human-induced climate change? Should there be a national organisation, to which all Australian skeptics can belong? These are questions about which skeptics disagree sharply, and sometimes angrily.
In this talk, for the first time, a prominent skeptic tackles all of these issues head-on.
The aim will not be to push a particular viewpoint, but to open the issues up for profitable thinking and discussion. By the end of the talk, you will know what the speaker things about the issues, and why, but you will also have the chance to articulate your own views.
Dr Martin Bridgstock, a Senior Lecturer at Griffith University, has been associated with the skeptical movement for more than 25 years. He runs the highly successful course Skepticism, Science and the Paranormal, which has won several teaching prizes. He is a former joint Australian Skeptic of the year, a consultant to CSI, and has also won the Australian Skeptics’ Prize for Critical Thinking. His skeptical book Beyond Belief was published by Cambridge University Press last year.
Dinner will follow the lecture (venue tbc). To RSVP for the dinner please contact act1@skeptics.com.au.

White Lab Coat/Black Trench Coat: The Science of Spying 6-7.30pm
AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS AND THE ANU COLLEGE OF SCIENCE PRESENT:
An ANU Public Lecture featuring Steve Longford.
Manning Clarke Lecture Theatre 2, Union Court, ANU
This lecture is free and open to the public.
Enquiries and Registration: president@aipio.asn.au or T: 0429 291 555
Before computers, telephones and the internet, when one country wanted to know what another was doing, their operatives would go there to collect information. With technology, intelligence agencies collect information differently; however they still use the same scientific approach. This has resulted in a renewed emphasis on the human component of intelligence collection and analysis. This lecture will explore the latest approaches in collecting and analysing information for intelligence.
Mr Steve Longford is a former detective, senior intelligence analyst and behavioural analyst for the Queensland Police. He also worked as head of the Violent Crime Analysis unit with the Queensland Police. He has extensive experience in providing intelligence solutions to law enforcement, intelligence and compliance agencies in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom by combining different facets of profiling, psychology, deception detection, body-language, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and interview methodologies into a single tool called Behavioural Intelligence
Steve Longford is now the managing director of New Intelligence, a Canberra based company that specialises in developing and providing training programs for interviewing, intelligence analysis, decision making and the unique Human Skills program.
An Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers networking function will follow the lecture. To Register, please contact Greg McAnulty on 0429 291 555 or president@aipio.asn.au.
This event was made possible by a grant from the National Science Week.
