Rolf Revealed in Documentary
BBC Two has announced the commissioning of a new film celebrating the life and career of Rolf Harris.
Documentary series Arena is to track the Australian’s progress as he attempts to paint a series of pictures inspired by William Shakespeare’s famous comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Multi-award-winning director Vikram Jayanti will helm the documentary which will see one of Britain’s best-loved artists working with model Lilly Cole, actress Dervla Kirwan and wife Alwen.
BBC Commissioning Editor Mark Bell said that Rolf Harris’ status as a national treasure and cultural figure will result in an enlightening and interesting documentary.
He said: “For nearly 60 years Rolf Harris has been sharing his infectious enthusiasm for art and music with us on British television, he is a real national treasure.”
Aside from following Harris as he paints for the Shakespeare project, the documentary will investigate Rolf’s long career as a singer and musician, as an artist and as a public persona lauded in Britain, Australia and Canada.
It has been an important year for the entertainer as not only has he celebrated his eightieth birthday, he has also performed at numerous festivals and has embarked on a national art tour.
Rolf Harris has toured his ‘A Life in Art’ exhibition in galleries across Britain during 2010 which includes an array of artwork including Rolf Harris prints, lithographs and sculptures.
“It’s just a joyful variation of everything that I do.
There’s some originals in there, but quite a few have sold in recent months,” Harris told the Reading Post.
Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Jody Craddock revealed to the Independent that he has embarked on an artistic career after being inspired by the style and enthusiasm of Rolf.
He told the Independent: “He paints what he wants to paint and it appeals to people like myself.
I think he has a core style that has remained similar over the years, but he can adapt, which is why he has done so well.”
Harris has received royal recognition on several occasions including a CBE in 2006 as well as a MBE in 1968 and an OBE in 1977.
Rolf on Art, screened during 2002, is the most watched arts programme in British history and its highlight was undoubtedly when Harris was allowed to paint the Queen as part of a special episode.
Harris started painting in Australia aged 14 before moving to England to study art at a prestigious south London college.
My Artbroker offers the opportunity to buy and sell work from some of the most contemporary artists including Rolf Harris prints, Sarah Graham prints and Simon Claridge prints.

Introduction to Documentary Credits
Introduction: Banks, as we know, lend money to the public, for various purposes. Like purchase of a home, a car, or other consumer durables etc. They also extend loans to Industries that manufacture various goods, and machineries, and also to service industries that provide various services, like a salon, internet kiosk, etc., to the community.
Banks play a vital role in the development process of any nation, by providing finance for different activities related to trade and commerce. This includes both domestic and international trade and commerce.
One of the ways in which commercial banks facilitate international trade and commerce, is by way of extending a non funded financing facility or mechanism called the Documentary Credit (DC), or the Letter of Credit (LC).
This mechanism to facilitate international trade was developed under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris.
The rules and regulations etc., governing the Documentary Credits, and the transactions thereunder, are contained in what is known as the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits.
Definition: A Documentary Credit (DC), or Letter of Credit (LC), (they are one and the same), is a legally binding undertaking given by a Bank on behalf of its customer, in favor of a third party, to make payment to him (the third party), the stated sum of money against submission of the required documents, as per the terms of the DC.
A simple example of a DC transaction goes thus: English Oriental Bank, a commercial Bank, based in London, U.K., establishes a DC on account of one of its clients, M/s. Hudson Industries, favoring a Software Company in Bombay, India, by name, Zed Software Co.
Details of this Documentary Credit and how it works is discussed below.
The underlying contract of this DC is as follows: Zed Software Co (ZSC) has a contract to supply to Hudson Industries, technical software, related to the maintenance of a gas turbine, under contract, by Hudson Industries. The value of the contract is Pound Sterling 500,000.00. The typical problems and issues that can arise from a business proposition like this, may relate to the different rules and regulations of trade, in the respective countries; the different currencies, and the differing exchange rates applicable to them; the different customs and practices prevailing in the two countries, that can pose communication and other problems between the buyer and seller etc. That apart, the buyer and seller, in this case, the Hudson Industries, and Zed Software may not know each other, and may not be sure as to how far they can trust each other.
Each of them may confront questions for which they have no answers. Like, Zed S0ftware may find more comfort in receiving advance payment from Hudson Industries, before supplying them the software. On the other hand, Hudson Industries is not sure of receiving the contracted for software, if it makes advance payment. Or the software may not be of the same quality etc that they had sought and paid for. So they would like to receive the software in advance, so they could check the same and satisfy themselves. Hence, there would be a stalemate here, with neither of the parties budging from their respective positions.
It is here that Banks come into the picture, along with their tools to facilitate transactions like these, between buyer and seller, based in different countries. Now, in a case such as this, Hudson Industries would approach their Bankers, the EOB, to open a DC in favor of their Indian supplier, Zed Software, for the supply of the software, in the value of Pound Sterling 500,000.00.
Let us assume that EOB accede to the request of their customer, and establish a DC for the amount of Pound Sterling 500,000.00, favoring Zed Software Co, subject to terms and conditions as per their credit policies. EOB then advises this DC to Zed Software, through their Correspondents in India, say, Indian Future Bank (IFB), who, in turn, would advise the DC to Zed Software. Let us assume that Zed Software is a client of IFB. Upon receipt of the DC, the company would know they kind of product or service it is expected to supply to Hudson Industries, and other details relevant to the contract.
According to the terms of the DC, ZSC is required to submit documents as per DC terms, in relation to the contract for the supply of the software to Hudson Industries, and claim payment from their own Bank, the IFB. Some of the most important documents to be submitted under this transaction include the commercial invoice, the bill of exchange, the certificate of origin, the transport document like the airway bill, etc. The IFB, upon receipt of the documents, from ZSC, scrutinize the same, and if they are in consonance with the terms of the DC, make necessary payment to their customer, and in turn, claim reimbursement from EOB, the Bank that established the DC. EOB, in turn, scrutinize the documents submitted by the IFB, and if found in order, reimburse IFB for the amount claimed by them. Thereupon, the EOB present the documents to their customer, Hudson Industries, and recover the money paid by them to the IFB.
This is a simple example of how a DC works. This example pertains to one particular type of DC, of which there are many. It is also assumed in this case, that there are no complications throughout the transaction, and it ends peacefully, with all the parties concerned happy about the outcome.
In real life situations, of course, many a problem arises, either in respect of the documents submitted by the beneficiary, or the manner in which the two Banks, or the parties handle the transaction, or any other reason related to the transaction.
Conclusion: Banks, as facilitators of international trade and commerce have been served well by the mechanism of the Documentary Credit. The beauty of these credits is that they provide appropriate protection, as required, by the seller, buyer, the seller’s Bank, and the buyer’s Bank, while extracting their share of responsibility under the transaction.
The DCs have acted as a sort of bridge between buyers and sellers of goods and services, based in different countries, bringing them together, through the agency of the Banks.
Since they came into being in 1933, DCs have no doubt played a significant role in cross border trade, overcoming the barriers of language, customs and practices, currencies, etc. And last, but not the least, they are an important source of business and revenues to the Commercial Banks, and are expected to grow even more in importance, in the coming years.

Happiness Is A Mindset – Bangladesh Documentary (Part 2/4)
In late 2006, I travelled to Bangladesh. I was 23, still at uni, and it was my first time overseas. The purpose of my trip was to distribute second-hand cricket equipment to local schools around the Dhaka region. I was able to take 20 kits of gear that was originally donated by eight Australian schools. The other purpose of the trip was to experience another culture and see how other people lived. The way I engage with the world is different after having this experience. It has changed my outlook on life and proved to me that happiness is purely a mindset. I hope you enjoy! *Note: The music used in this production has been cleared under the AMCOS/ARIA licence for educational purposes.

Divorced women- illegitimate children: Bangladesh asylum claim in the UK
SA (Bangladesh) vs. Secretary of State for Home Department [2011]
This Upper Tribunal case was heard at Field House on the 29th and 30th of September 2010. The appeal was brought by a Bangladeshi national against a decision that she should not be granted asylum. Her application was initially rejected by the Secretary of State for the Home Department (herein after referred to as the SSHD). She appealed against the decision and her case came before the Tribunal where it was subsequently dismissed.
The appellant had arrived in the UK on 2nd November 2002 and in 2004, she was granted leave to remain as the dependant of her husband who was in the UK on a student visa. She applied for further leave in the same capacity in 2006. However, she left her husband and returned to Bangladesh.
She thereafter applied to return to the UK on a student visa which was refused. She returned back to the UK but was advised at port that her student dependant visa had been cancelled because she was separated from her husband. However, she was granted temporary admission. She then appealed against the refusal of her student visa application which was dismissed. The appellant claimed asylum at this point. Her appeal was initially heard in September 2009.
The senior immigration judge reconsidered the appellant’s case based on the reason that the previous immigration judge (IJ) who dismissed her appeal at the previous hearing had failed to review both grounds of the appellant’s argument adequately.
In regard to the second ground of appeal, the judge said that the IJ’s decision failed to properly consider the evidence put before him in regards to the treatment the appellant would face in Bangladesh as a result of bearing a child out of wedlock.
The judge agreed that the previous judge did use the correct factual basis in paragraph 12 of his determination and in which consideration was given to the fact that the appellant was a single divorced female who had a child who was dependent on her out of wedlock.
The judge also explored the general background material and drew a distinction between how the appellant would be dealt with in her home area in Bangladesh in comparison to how she might be dealt with in a rural city. However, it was held that the previous judge did not attach appropriate weight to the background material. It was concluded that laws prohibiting discrimination could not be thoroughly enforced in the rural or urban areas.
The appellant argued that removal to Bangladesh would violate article 3 of the ECHR.
With regard to the evidence put forward by both the appellant’s representative and the SSHD, the Immigration judge concluded that the mother of an illegitimate child would be likely to experience a significant amount of hardship on return to Bangladesh. The Tribunal accepted that there is a high level of domestic violence in Bangladesh and that mothers of illegitimate children may face social prejudice but concluded that each case needed to be considered on its own merits.
The Tribunal accepted that there would be circumstances where mothers of illegitimate children would face a ‘significant degree of hardship’. However, each case needed to be considered on its individual merits. It was recognised that with family support, individuals could attain employment within the garment trade and could obtain ‘rudimentary’ support from the State. In this case, the Tribunal took the view that the conditions the appellant would face on return to Bangladesh would not breach her article 3 rights.
The appeal was therefore dismissed.

BSI Documentary Highlights Accessibility
In recognition of World Standards Day on October 14, BSI Group, the world’s first national standards body, announces its release of a new documentary on accessibility entitled, “Standards Make the World Accessible for All.” Debuting in Brussels at the European Commission’s World Standards Day 2010 Conference, Accessibility for All, the documentary features the important role standards play in allowing everyone easier access to transport, buildings and the World Wide Web.
“People have different needs and abilities”, says BSI Film Producer Sofie Sandell. “In this video we want to give them a voice to make sure that their needs are heard and fulfilled thanks to standards”.
The documentary touches on several aspects of accessibility, from buildings to websites. The key messages are: If people don’t have access to buildings, transport and the web, they are locked out from society; standards create opportunities for an active life for all.
BSI Group has always been committed to establishing and supporting standards which promote the availability of products and services to all consumers, regardless of physical limitations.
This year’s event will highlight the effort BSI is making in this area.
“Accessibility has become an increasing focus for BSI, recognizing that many of us may at some stage suffer from physical, visual or audio impairment,” explains BSI Director of Standards Mike Low. “Be it our homes, our offices, places of recreation or key tools such as computers, the web or phones, it is essential that we are all able to make use of them. By bringing together all the interested parties – the public, industry representative groups and regulators – we are now building a very successful suite of standards tools to achieve better and affordable accessibility.”
Buildings. BSI’s accessible buildings standard is one of the first and the most advanced accessibility standards in the world.
BS 8300 has been developed by the construction industry in partnership with disability groups. Its reach extends beyond disabled access to inclusive design, which means it encompasses the needs of other physically-challenged groups like the elderly and children. It is now used in the design of all public buildings and spaces in the UK and has brought about a fundamental improvement in access, enabling disabled people to benefit equally from all public services, ranging from hospitals to libraries.
Web. Web accessibility is one of the key highlights of this year’s World Standards Day. Together with top experts in the field, BSI Group is at the leading edge of delivering solutions in web accessibility. The team is currently working on a new standard (BS 8878)which is due to be published next month, which promises to make a big impact on the way people will be able to access the web.
If you would like to have a copy of the video or for more information on BSI standards on Buildings Accessibility and Web Accessibility, please contact Chiara Carella, PR Manager, BSI Group, at chiara.carella@bsigroup.com
The video will also be uploaded online from BSI’s YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/BSIBritishStandards on Thursday, 14 October.
