Still much the same when the 25 year old was 21 years younger when we first brought here there.
Nice place, too many kids though.
What made you happy today?

Youngest daughter who is doing her Juris Doctor law course (a qualification in law you do when you've got an undergraduate degree) has made it into the grandfinal of oral presentations (in teams of two) put on by a law firm.
It goes something like two students are given a scenario to represent a person who is an actor playing a role & interviewing them.
Her first one was representing a bloke who did not say much other than he was being charged with by police. They needed to extract from a less than informative subject that he was in a pub, another bloke came over and made racist and pretty off comments to his girlfriend or women nearby.
The bloke mouthing off got shirty and the subject sort of pushed him away which inadvertently resulted in the the bloke falling over & hitting his head. Issues such as how to elicit information and explaining such terms as GBH etc
Youngest and her partner needed to get info from the subject while advising him of what exactly he is being charged with etc. In this case GBH
There were some thing like ? 20 pairs. Now there are 2! Well done her. The GF is being done at the law firm in front of an audience.

In breaking news: Youngest and her partner just won the GF! This will help her employment opportunities. Very proud Dad.
It was held at some legal offices in the Railto with a great view youngest said. They don't get to watch the other team.
The scenario was a woman who had complex issues regarding setting up a business online where she sells fake designer handbags which she spruiks as 95% genuine. Has spent a lot of the proceeds. (Contract law) there were other issues too. Handbags of course allowed the young women to have a relaxed conversation with their client about what could be done, where she might stand with respect to the law and and they could offer the client etc Needed to use law, elicit information from the client etc.
She was gobsmacked.
The audience were employees of this flash newish law firm from the US who had a reputation for poaching a whole team from an established Melbourne Law firm apparently. So they met various staff / players and partners. They won a ceritifcate, a large trophy aand had a bottle of bubbly and networking!!

David, I had a look. I looked around the site, contributors, etc, but the only dossier article I've read at the moment is the intro.David wrote:This project (which I've been working on for the better part of six months) finally came together: a dossier on French cinema of the 1970s and 1980s for Senses of Cinema, which I curated and edited (and also wrote two pieces myself). I don't know if many here will be interested, but you can check all of the articles out below if you like!

It all looks very nice.
How did you get this curating/editing job? I gather you work for a different magazine. Did you apply in response to an ad? Did SoC people know you previously?
