Rebourne – Star Trek Beyond (2016)
July 27, 2016 happyfett	1 Comment
"Let's make the poster look like the one for the dullest of the original movies."
"This is where the frontier pushes back."
Directed by Justin Lin
Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Sofia Boutella and Idris Elba
Technically, Star Trek Beyond is not itself a reboot and follows only three years behind the last entry in the ongoing series, but until I get around to reviewing 2009's Star Trek, this will be the placeholder for the 'alternate timeline' series. The new Trek continuity pretty much typifies the in-universe, soft reset school of franchise reboot also used by the X-Men series. Faced with the leviathan that is Trek fandom and its understanding of the original series timeline, JJ Abrams sent a Romulan dreadnought back in time to knock down that sandcastle so he could start over. The result was well-received; 2013's Star Trek: Into Darkness less so, with its white Khan and murky, grey Federation. Star Trek Beyond is, however, the film that takes the Enterprise back to its original five year mission, so in that way it is its own sort of reset.
For the handful of readers recovering this from the unearthed servers of the Wayback Machine in 2263, Star Trek began life as a three season TV series about the crew of a starship, exploring the unknown frontiers of the galaxy on behalf of the United Federation of Planets. After its cancellation there was an animated series, then four movies, and then a second series set about a century after the first, with two more movies produced concurrently with that series. Then a third series spun off from the second, and after The Next Generation ended that crew headlined four more movies while two more series – the last set a century before the original were made. Small wonder that Abrams, charged with reviving the now flagging franchise by replacing the beloved but rapidly dwindling original series cast, chose to nuke the timeline.
The Enterprise and her crew are three years into their five year mission, and beginning to get a little stir crazy as they approach the advanced outpost Yorktown, a space station with an artificial sky and a stardock inside its graceful, curving boulevards and canals. Here, as Captain Kirk (Pine) and his first officer Spock (Quinto) consider their futures, one faced with the anniversary of his birth and the death of his father, the other with the news of the death of his Prime Universe counterpart, they are mustered for a mission to rescue a science team stranded on a planet within an unstable nebula.

RIP/Bad Movie Superstar – Christopher Lee
June 11, 2015 happyfett	4 Comments
"We don't always get the kind of work we want, but we always have a choice of whether to do it with good grace or not."
– Christopher Lee
You don't have to be a bad actor to be a Bad Movie Superstar. Many a great actor has appeared in a bad movie, or more than one, and the advantage of that is that a bad movie with a great actor in it is usually, on some level, a good bad movie. Street Fighter has little going for it, but it does have Raul Julia's bombastic swansong as M Bison. Biggles: Adventures in Time is a pile of crap, but Peter Cushing is awesome in it, as in just about everything. It was said once of Cushing and his close friend Vincent Price: "[They] made some wonderful serious movies but are only known for horror."
The man who said this, in an interview in 2011, was a friend to both men, and himself a towering (literally) figure in the movie world who appeared in more than his fair share of pap over the 93 years of his life. It seems fitting then that we mark the death of this man, Christopher Lee, with his induction into the ranks of Bad Movie Superstardom.
Although eschewing the path of personal tragedy, Lee had nothing if not an interesting life prior to his acting career. At 17 he spent a fortnight in Finland to defend the country from Russian aggression, and when WWII went global, he joined the RAF, spending most of the war as an intelligence officer after an optic nerve problem washed him out of flight school. He worked with the Special Operations Executive and Long Range Desert Patrol, saying of his work: "I was attached to the SAS from time to time but we are forbidden – former, present, or future – to discuss any specific operations. Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read in to that what they like." It is said that his work put him in a unique position to advise Peter Jackson on the sound of a man's neck snapping, but I'm not sure that's confirmed.
Post-war, a cousin suggested acting, although he was initially declared to be too tall. He broke into the business through the time honoured method of taking whatever jobs would pay the rent until something big came along. The something big was the role of the Creature in The Curse of Frankenstein, the film that introduced him to Hammer studios, who would make him world famous as Count Dracula, in which role he gives Bela Lugosi a run for his money as archetypal depiction.
No, I'm not going to illustrate the section about how he hated being typecast as a vampire with a Dracula pic.
Lee would go on to play Dracula a tonne more times, although he was famously reluctant, not wishing to become typecast in the role. He also claimed to have refused to speak his lines in Dracula: Prince of Darkness (although writer Jimmy Sangster insists he never had any,) and that he only took part because Jimmy Carerras, President of Hammer, would sell the picture on his participation and then plead with him not to put everyone out of a job.
In the same period he achieved lasting notoriety playing the fiendish and inscrutable Dr Fu Manchu (and a few other oriental villains,) donning super-creepy yellowface. It can't be said to be his finest hour, and although politically no worse than generations of blackfaced Othellos, there's a reason they don't get shown so much anymore. As with Dracula, Lee's primary role in these films was to loom and be terrifying, which he was very good at.
Ladies?
He did eventually break the mould, playing a few straight men in lesser Hammer films (including one segment of classic portmanteau Dr Terror's House of Horrors,) an heroic witch hunter in The Devil Rides Out, and Sir Henry Baskerville, Mycroft Holmes and Sherlock Holmes in various productions of Conan Doyle's books. He buckled swashes in The Devil-Ship Pirates, and went on to play Count Rochefort in Richard Lester's Three Musketeers, Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun and Lord Summerisle in the cult horror classic The Wicker Man. He was still mostly seen as a horror actor, like Cushing and Price despite a few more serious roles over the years, most often as military men or sombre physicians.
LADIES!
A move to America helped Lee to shed the shackles of horror, playing more Holmes, and a supervillain in The Return of Captain Invincible (which so needs a review here.) In 1998 he played the founder of Pakistan, because that was an obvious jump. He played the villain in Return from Witch Mountain and had a cameo in Gremlins II, and just a whole load of minor roles, including loads of TV work in the 70s Captain America and the Tomorow People remake.
His career had been slowing down for a while by the year 2000, but the roles of Saruman in The Lord of the Rings – for which he was notably the only member of cast or crew to have met Tolkien in person, albeit only briefly – and Count Dooku in The Attack of the Clones and The Revenge of the Sith brought him back to prominence. The early 21st century were good to Lee, and like any once-great character actor, formerly known for horror and now relaunched as a professional evil wizard, he naturally kicked out some heavy metal power ballads with Manowar.
Portrait of the artist as a young man.
No, seriously. He recorded several albums of his own in the last decade and was awarded a Spirit of Metal Award and described himself as 'a young man right at the beginning of his career' in his acceptance speech.
What made him great as a metaller was the same thing that made him great as an actor. He wasn't necessarily the most nuanced performer, but he has an intensity that was second to none and a thundering bass that demanded the listener shut up and pay attention. He could be commanding, demanding or reassuring, but he was never less than compelling.
The Star Wars visual encyclopedia attributes the compelling power of Dooku's stare to the Force. I attribute it to Christopher Lee.
He also, as is the case with many bad movie stars, never took the material lightly, be it ever so shit. He might not have wanted to speak the words in Dracula Prince of Darkness, might not even have wanted to be there, but he hissed and snarled like a trouper. Even in Star Wars, he did a lot of his own fight work, with doubles only for the fancier footwork. The man gave his all to every project as if it was a timeless classic, and lifted his own performance and the film as a whole because of it.
So, yes; he was in some shit. He was in The Silent Flute and Season of the Witch, and two Star Wars prequels. In his younger days, he played a lot of yellowface villains, but that was the sixties; so it goes. He spent the better part of the sixties living on hisses while he tried to establish himself in anything else. But he never half-arsed, never phoned it in, even when this happened:
Lee was part of the generation of professional actors who never fussed about the merit of their latest gig. Yes, it was great to play Hamlet (Lee was a spear carrier in Olivier's Hamlet,) but other things could be great too, like eating and paying rent on time, and being in work. He was a jobbing thesp, and a damned good one.
Christopher Lee died on the 11th June 2015, aged 93. We shall not look upon his like again.
You know, unless we watch his movies.

Harassment May be Near an Inflection Point — But Still Much Work to Do
Ingrid Fredeen
Feb 22nd, 2017
"It's entirely possible that incidents of sexual harassment will increase — harassers may now believe they can act without consequences. At the same time, victims now may be more fearful of reporting the harassment because of retaliation, and because they may feel their report will not be taken seriously or addressed. So, it's even more important for employers to be proactive about sexual harassment in the workplace and be clear that it's not acceptable."
90% of people who are harassed at work don't file complaints.
That's what Maya Raghu, director of workplace equality for the National Women's Law Center, told the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania last month. The article essentially asked whether, after a series high-profile instances of alleged sexual harassment in 2016—including in the presidential campaign—we could be reaching an inflection point.
It's a question worth asking, especially because we know that harassment in the workplace, especially including sexual harassment, remains a pernicious problem. The Wharton article theorized that the increased attention over the past year actually might lead to a new era of awareness—but also to more harassment.
Simultaneously, there's also the simple matter of a new administration in Washington, with new rules and new regulators. While we don't have a crystal ball, it seems possible that those changes could halt or even curtail the progress that has been made to address harassment in the workplace in the past couple of decades.
Training Course: Workplace Harassment Seventh-Generation Course
The Right Goals, but Persistent Problems
We do see rays of hope—as organizations have over the years learned (and apparently internalized) some key lessons that we don't think they'll abandon.
Only 7% of organizations...trained board members on harassment issues (compared with 76% who train employees)
While organizations are still very (and rightly) focused on complying with the law, they're particularly concentrated on using training to create a culture of ethics and respect, according to NAVEX Global's 2016 Ethics & Compliance Training Benchmark Report. That's a hopeful sign — it means efforts to prevent workplace harassment (in concept, at least) are motivated by more than checking a box and keeping up with laws and enforcement. And we don't expect that to change.
But the right goals won't get you anywhere without effective execution. Only seven percent of organizations in the above survey said they trained board members on harassment issues (compared with 76 percent who train employees). And an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report on sexual harassment last summer found that, while overall harassment filings to the EEOC have fallen in recent years, 90 percent of people who are harassed at work don't file complaints.
What Your Organization Can Do to Address Harassment
There's some good resources and advice out there, and it appears that recent headlines have at least prompted some discussion. This Harvard Business Review article provides great insights into what your employees consider when deciding to make a report; understanding what motivates employees to speak up or stay quiet, and what you can do to help them determine how best to respond to unwelcome, offensive conduct is vital if your organization plans to truly stands behind its commitment to a harassment-free workplace. And of course strong, innovative and up-to-date training remains essential; great training helps your employees become more sensitized, more thoughtful about what they say and do, and more willing to help protect the culture you have worked so hard to create.
Harassment is fundamentally a human issue, and combatting it goes beyond implementing the right policies.
Organizations should regularly audit their own training and compliance programs, responding with a "yes" or "no" to each of the lines below.
I have deployed a new workplace harassment training course in the last two years
I am training all my employees—managers and employees
There is content in the course that is just for managers, and it will help them become better leaders
The scenarios in my course are current and realistic and will resonate with my employees
The course I deploy is so great, even I want to watch it
I am confident that my senior leaders will think the course is a good use of employee time
I am certain that my employees will find this training engaging, informative and thought provoking
My training helps reassure victims that they will be protected when they file a report
My organization stands behind (and holds everyone accountable to) its policy prohibiting retaliation
Did you answer "no" to any of these statements? If so, you might want to rethink your organization's training and broader program for addressing and preventing workplace harassment—to make sure you're creating a strong culture and complying with the law. As Raghu of the National Women's Law Center told Wharton, "Law is important, but it can only go so far. What is really going to change things is a cultural shift."

Wherever you visit those urban neighborhoods that were once this nation's Polonia, you find numerous large and architecturally impressive Catholic churches, many of them in the northern Gothic style. They distinctively mark where Poles once lived in this nation's cities. Indeed, for the most part the churches remain standing five or six decades after the Poles were assimilated, prospered and then moved into the suburbs. Some of those that continue in operation now serve Hispanic rather than Polish Catholics. If you look a little further in Polonia neighborhoods, you will find Dom Polski halls, that is, "Polish home" buildings. In most communities, as soon as the Polish community was well established, churches were built and then a substantial hall for social events such as the one you see. These halls rivaled the churches as a focal point for the social activities of Polish immigrants and their children. These were also the places where Poles met when they undertook their efforts to elect officials who would respond to the concerns of their neighborhoods. The political machines in most cities recognized the value of the large Polish vote and, by the 1920s in metropolitan Detroit, first- and second-generation Poles were running for political offices. One of the first Polish Congressman from Michigan was Rudy Tenerowicz. He was born in Budapest to Polish parents who migrated to the Detroit area. Tenerowicz became a doctor, but took a strong interest in politics, was elected mayor of Hamtramck in 1928 and to Congress in 1939.
Polish immigration to Detroit began in the 1880s. The first large settlement of Poles was on the East Side near the Eastern Market and a long Chene from about Jefferson through Hamtramck. In the late Nineteenth Century Poles lived alongside Germans, but Poles became numerically dominant in several East Side neighborhoods during the first decade of the Twentieth Century. For the most part, they lived in modest workmen's homes. These structures were not designed by architects, had little ascetic appeal, were on miniscule plots of land and were not especially durable since they were built at low cost. Poles moved away from neighborhoods such as the East Side of Detroit, especially just after World War II when the enforced saving households accrued during World War II, the availability of high-paying jobs and very favorable federal housing policies to made it possible for second-generation Poles to buy attractive, if small, new homes in the outlying parts of the city of Detroit and, then later, in the suburban ring. Presumably as Poles moved to the suburban ring, the use of Dom Polski Hall declined but I do not know when this attractive building was last used or if there are plans for its renovation.
There is a corresponding West Side Dom Polski Hall standing at 3426 Junction. That building was designed by Joseph J. Gwizdowski and opened in 1915, two years after the one you see opened. The Dom Polski Hall at 1519 Oak Street in Wyandotte is still open and is used as a banquet and meeting facility.
Use in 2007: An unused building awaiting renovation or demolishment.


I tried running the page through the W3C HTML Validation Service, and it gave me a huge list of complaints relating to its inadequacy as XML. Strange, I thought this was an HTML validator, I said to myself. Well, by putting the correct DOCTYPE bit in the top, I successfully validated the front page as HTML 4.01 Transitional! Most of the more complex pages are still beset by errors (mostly to do with nesting of H1, UL, OL etc. elements in paragraphs). At least I know what is going on. I need to write a more robust parsing engine for my ez_html routine, rather than the three nested layers of kludge that it is at the moment.
My CSS is also officially valid.

For all those Canadians who are living under bridges, along highways and in tents across the country, the news isn't good because you may be there for another two years. That's because it will take that long for the federal government to implement new programs to help just before the next election.
One can only wonder if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be planning his next long-range promise while sailing on some billionaire's yacht on Paradise Island. It's nice to help other countries in need, but charity should always start with your own country.
The next election is two years away and some of those who need a roof over their heads now won't be around to vote for those who may be able to push the issue along.
It's time for all those in power to realize this need. Not in two years time but now.

Power Relations
How Southern Co. Flourishes
In Humbled Electric Industry
By Rebecca SmithStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
In an electricity industry mostly in a shambles, Southern Co. stands out as a rare star. The operator of utilities that sell power in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, Southern boasts a soaring stock price, strong credit rating and the biggest market capitalization in its industry.
The key to its success: The electrical-power business is in the midst of a chaotic transition from old-fashioned monopolies to deregulated markets. Southern has cleverly found a sweet spot in the middle.
Here's how it works. Southern's five utilities benefit from regulated state monopolies and can predictably earn up to fixed percentages of profit over their costs. The company has preserved these monopolies by persuading state legislators that it can bring customers the benefits of competition by buying cheap power in the wholesale market, which was deregulated nationally in the early 1990s.
But here's the twist: In the past two years, Southern's utilities have struck fully 80% of their power-supply deals with one unregulated generator -- Southern's own unit, Southern Power Co. Allowed to charge what it wants, Southern Power can earn much higher profit margins than its regulated corporate siblings.

Ahhh, summer is officially here which means more fun time to cook with the kids. My Gooey cake bars are so simple (not to mention ridiculously delish) and the kids absolutely love to get their hands dirty to help with this one.
My favorite part about these bars is the gooey fluffernutter topping, its almost caramel like consistency which makes for a perfect gooey treat. They travel well so they're perfect for bake sales, family picnics and parties.
Whatcha waiting for, get baking! PS, if you can even believe it my kids are still in school! …no pics of them helping me until after this week, lol!
Line up: Yellow cake mix, egg, butter, marshmallow creme, peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips.
Add your cake mix to a large bowl.
Add a pretty little egg.
…and a softened stick of butter.
Mix, mix and mix. You can do this with your stand mixer or use your hands to get a dough like this.
Press into a 9×13 inch baking pan. I like lining with foil so after it cools, I can pull the whole sheet out and cut into perfect little squares. Do you like my Sally Hansen sticker nails?! Lol. I like them but do not like that they only last about 4 days 🙂 Cute though!
Time for the gooey fluffernutter topping. Place your peanut butter, marshmallow creme and sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl, mixing to combine. This is what turns caramel-like once baked. Mmmmm!
Pour a nice bag of white chocolate chips over top and bake 350 degrees F. for 23-25 minutes. Let cool completely and….
What you'll find are these gooey bars of deliciousness! Perfect for any occasion, Enjoy friends!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.
1. Place cake mix, egg, and butter into a large bowl. Mix until well combined, will be the consistency of thick cookie dough. I used my hands towards the ends. Press dough into prepared baking pan.
2. Place peanut butter, marshmallow creme and condensed milk into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Pour over crust then top with white chips. Bake for 23-25 minutes, until cooked through. Center will seem somewhat jiggly, but will set up while cools.
3. Let cool completely, cut into squares and serve.
Oh my goodness, this lookd like a proper sugar overload! Love it!
Be still my beating heart. Such a simple dessert – I'm so saving this for when I need an emergency picnic dish!
And marshmallows, PB, powdered sugar, white choc chips….are some of my FAVE things to bake with.
Love the pics and this recipe!!!
Mmm, you sure know how to jazz up a cake mix, Jenny! These look great.
School is still in session here in NY, too. I think this is their last week, though. Poor kids!
LOVE your fancy nail polish! the sparkles are so cute…not to mention this cake bars sound insane!
OHHHHH MY STARS!!!! I have to make these…THANK YOU!!!!!
I've heard so much about this mystical thing called "fluffernutter." I can't wait to try this!! Sounds like a great combination!
This is exactly what I need for our daughter's preschool graduation picnic. My daughter is allergic to chocolate. I was looking for a recipe using white chocolate which she loves. Thanks….it looks delicious!
My Dad is a huge fluffernutter fan. When I was a little boy he used to make them as a special dessert treat in the summer. He hasn't made them in years. Maybe I'll make them and surprise him.
These look superb! I haven't made anything fluffernutter-ish yet. Gotta start somewhere! P.S. I love your nailpolish.
Your creativity will never cease to amaze me! Fluffernutter sammies are one of my favs, I can't wait to make this cake mix version!
What a fun easy dessert! You do such yummy things with those cake mixes!
I do love playing around with cake mixes don't I? Lol!
Mmm, those look delicious. I love the fluffernutter layer. Awesome!
My roommates and I used to make fluffernutter sandwiches in college all the time…they would love this! Can't wait to make them!
I'll just agree with you Lisa, lol!
First off, I love your sparkly nail polish!
And I want a pan of these bars right now to get rid of my aching sweet tooth!
LOVE love love your nails and that cake! SUCH a bummer that your kids are still in school – what's up with that? I got out almost two weeks ago!
Yah, we are done tomorrow!! Yippee!
This recipe looks AMAZING! And it looks like I need to try it…soon.
The texture of the topping is so good, can't wait for y'all to try it!
This one got my heart racing, it has all the things I love: cake, marshmallows, peanut butter, white chocolate…!!!
You will love these Monica, let me know when you take your first bite, lol!!
The name alone sounds scrumptious! I gots to try this!
Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong on so many levels. Yet they taste so right. *thanks* for making it so necessary to hit the gym a little bit harder today! 🙂 Yummy!!
Look amazing! Except that my son is deathly allergic to peanuts!! I'm still going to try them but using peanut-free almond butter. Any suggestions to make that successful? This will be my first recipe trying to substitute almond butter.
Oh yum! these remind me of Paula Dean's gooey butter cakes. Love the fluffernutter combo, great idea! I've tried the sally hansen nail strips too, I really like them I bought leopard print. Mine lasted over a week though.
Oh. My. Goodness. I am SOOO trying those!
These look simply divine. Thanks for sharing all your yummy recipes!
Yum! I'm adding white chips and marshmellow creme to my grocery list.
I love bar treats and these look great!
Small can of Sweet Cond. Milk? Actual ounce Size?- there were 3 different sizes on the grocery shelf.
Love your fun nail polish!
Ahhhhh, white chocolate during the summer. So awesome! It's nice to have some light flavors that don't weigh you down.AND there's peanut butter, so I'm officially won over.
By the way, your nails are so cute.
Just got back from walmart, picked up the things i need. I'm resisting the urge to make these RIGHT NOW. LOL. I'm going to make them for a family reunion tomorrow. I know if i make them now, I'll probably eat them all. LOL. Thank you! My mom and I are totally addicted to your blog! You have been our "go to gal" for great new recipes that are sure to wow a crowd!
The recipe calls for unsalted, but I think the butter shown is salted? Yes, no? Will it change the consistency or just taste?
My daughter loves fluffernutter sandwiches…I just made these for a pool party she is hosting this weekend. They are very yummy!!
HEAVENLY! You have outdone yourself.
Yum! I cant wait to try this. I wanted to let you know that I featured this recipe in my "What I Bookmarked This Week" post today – stop by and see.
These look so amazingly good! Would love to try one!

Where are the new Australian musicals? Waiting in the wings
Written by Trevor Jones, Lecturer in Musical Theatre, Griffith University
This week's nominations for the Helpmann Awards, which recognise the performing arts in Australia, have caused a storm of discussion, particularly about the state of Australian musical theatre. The winners will be announced on July 26.
There are exciting new Australian works nominated in dance, theatre and cabaret. But it is undeniable that the musical theatre nominations reflect a strong bias towards international content and artists. Although it may be thrilling for audiences to see shows direct from Broadway, they provide few opportunities for Australian performers and creative teams at the highest level.
Brilliant Australian composer and performer Eddie Perfect tweeted:
There have been numerous attempts to increase support for Australian performers and original musical theatre, but major productions of original Australian musicals are the exception rather than the norm. None were nominated for Helpmann Awards this year. Dream Lover, a musical about the life of Bobby Darin using his songs, deferred its eligibility until 2018.
While Australian performers have been nominated, the shows they're in are dominated by musicals developed on New York's Broadway and London's West End such as Kinky Boots, Aladdin, The Book of Mormon, and My Fair Lady. Three international performers are nominated for Best Male Actor and one international performer nominated for Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role. All of the female nominees are Australian.
All of this year's Helpmann Award musical nominations for Best Direction and Best Choreography are international artists, including Julie Andrews (of Sound of Music fame), Casey Nicholaw and Jerry Mitchell. Of the musical theatre entries, the nominees for costume and scene design are also international artists.
The 2017 Helpmann nominations have concentrated on overseas musicals. Deen van Meer
An international history
I strongly believe that this discussion should not be entirely about the Helpmann Awards, but about the industry more generally. Importing international productions and performers is not at all new to Australian theatre. In some ways, this could be traced back even to the J.C Williamson productions beginning in the 1870s.
These were mainly new productions of imported shows that had some overseas actors. But they generally used local directors (including Melbourne-born Minnie Everett, believed to be the only female director of Gilbert and Sullivan musicals at the time). After concern about the number of imported actors performing lead roles, they later started to include some of our great performers, such as Nancye Hayes in 1965's Hello Dolly (only one year after its Broadway premiere) and Jill Perryman in Funny Girl (1966).
It wasn't until the 1980s with productions such as Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables, that Australia's musical theatre industry focused on replicating Broadway and West End shows by bringing over their original creative teams. Even then there was a strong commitment to Australian talent which built the careers of many of our great musical theatre performers including Marina Prior, Anthony Warlow, Debra Byrne and Philip Quast.
Since then, our main-stage musicals have been dominated by international production teams, with some notable exceptions, such as David Atkins' new production of Hairspray in 2010.
What about Australian performers?
Australian musical theatre performer training is, undeniably, world-class, with Australian performers in demand on Broadway and the West End (such as Caroline O'Connor, Simon Gleeson, Hayden Tee and Hugh Jackman). But it seems that leading role opportunities for local performers are becoming more limited.

Outrage followed the casting of international performers in leading roles in Aladdin, My Fair Lady, and The Book of Mormon.
Until it was dissolved in 2012, an agreement between Live Performance Australia (the governing body of the Helpmann Awards) and the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA - the arts and media union) regulated the number of international performers in Australian productions.
There was some progress in December 2016 when Kinky Boots producer Michael Cassel signed an agreement with the MEAA to prioritise Australian actors. Indeed, Cassel's production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical has been cast entirely with Australian performers demonstrating this commitment. We need to see more of these commitments, and a greater commitment to training performers from diverse backgrounds.
Supporting new musicals
We have longed for the "great Australian musical" for many years. Major success stories over the years include Hot Shoe Shuffle (1992), The Boy From Oz (1998), Keating! The Musical (2005), Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (2006), Dusty (2006), Shane Warne The Musical (2008), King Kong (2013), Strictly Ballroom (2014), Georgy Girl (2015), Ladies In Black (2015) and Dream Lover (2016). Some of these shows have been well-received, even getting international productions. But of these only Keating!, Shane Warne, and Ladies in Black have entirely newly-composed musical scores.
Priscilla was a great success for Australian music theatre. JAMES MORGAN
At a 2015 symposium, Jason Marriner, CEO of Melbourne's Marriner theatre group, proposed a million-dollar fund to workshop ten Australian musicals, then raise half the money to bring the productions to the stage. But to my knowledge, there have been no results of this proposal to date.
Previously, the Pratt Prize was the major force in the development of new Australian musicals, including Matthew Robinson's Metro Street and Paul Keelan and Gary Young's Side Show Alley, but this prize ceased in 2008.
There are now many excellent organisations supporting the development of new Australian musical theatre including New Musicals Australia, which receives government funding, and Home Grown. Both organisations are actively developing new works. Later this year Melba by Nicholas Christo and Johannes Luebbers will premiere at the Hayes Theatre.
Tertiary institutions around Australia have long supported the writing and workshopping of new Australian musical theatre, although there is no specific tertiary course in writing for musical theatre in Australia that I'm aware of.
Show us the money
There are many ideas to bring new Australian musicals to the stage. Replying to Eddie Perfect's tweet, David Yazbeck, a renowned Broadway composer, proposed a bank funded by a ticketing surcharge that could only be accessed for developing Australian shows.
In many ways, he is right – benevolence is the only really practical solution. Whether it comes from the corporate dollar, government funding or individual contributions such as crowdfunding is the real dilemma.
Government funding is unlikely, as funding for the arts in Australia is already stretched thinly. State governments could invest in Australian work with the hope of attracting the tourist dollar, as it has done for well known Broadway productions such as Wicked, but this could be an undesirable risk. There is already a wide range of government funding at all levels available for the development of new work (including fund matching which encourages crowdsourcing campaigns), but this often requires a performance outcome of some description.
Shane Warne, the musical. TRACEY NEARMY
Funding from any sector most urgently needs to be put towards the workshopping and developing of Australian musicals during the writing process, rather than into performance. Broadway shows go through an extensive workshopping to try to refine the book and musical score to its best possible form. Early reviews of Strictly Ballroom and Georgy Girl suggested that these shows still needed work, and these are not isolated cases. If producers were able to take more time to develop works before trying to recoup their investment, the musicals may prove more successful both artistically and financially.
Companies that already receive funding (including the state theatre companies and Opera Australia) should also be encouraged to prioritise the development of new musicals, or, at least, new productions of existing musicals using Australian creative teams.
Eddie Perfect's comment that "original Australian music theatre is in real crisis" opens a can of worms. But by strongly supporting Australian performers, creative teams and the development of new Australian works, we may see an exciting new turn in the history of Australian musical theatre.

Oklahoma Republican pleads guilty to child sex trafficking after getting caught with 17-year-old boy
Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey pictured with Donald Trump, Jr. who he described as having "a magnetic personality." (Photo: Facebook)
Former Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey (R) pled guilty this week to federal child sex trafficking charges after he was caught in a motel room with an underage boy in March.
The Hill reported Saturday that Shortey's legal team filed paperwork to enter a guilty plea in order to evade three charges related to child pornography, which -- if convicted -- would result in much harsher sentencing.
Under the trafficking charge, Shortey faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life.
"It is in my best interest and in the best interest of my family," he wrote in paperwork associated with the plea deal.
Shortey and the unnamed youth began corresponding on Craigslist earlier this year. The boy said he needed money for "spring break" and Shortey replied that he didn't have any "legitimate things" he needed help with, but asked if the teen would be interested in "sexual stuff."
"Yes," the teen replied and a tryst was arranged.
"Officers reportedly found an open box of condoms in Shortey's backpack," said The Hill, "as well as a bottle of lotion in the victim's backpack when they were found at the motel in March. The teenager confirmed to police that they intended to have a sexual encounter, according to the Oklahoman.


I wanted to stay up-north to practice but ... - Muyiwa Akinwolere, Visual Artist.
Muyiwa Akinwolere studied Art at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. He worked as an Art teacher in Minna, Niger state for 5 yrs before leaving the classroom to go into full time studio work. He owns the Adiitu Studio in Badagry, Lagos state. His (antique inks and metals) artworks entitled Those That Were Crushed are currently on exhibition at the Whitespace Gallery Lagos till May 5, 2018. In this interview, he recounts his Art journey from Minna, where he started practice about two decades ago, to Lagos where he now works and lives with his family.
In Minna, I collaborated with Baba Sokomba and Francis Sokomba at Gabajudah gallery. I was using my free time at that time to make art and display at Gabajudah gallery. Eventually when I left teaching, I worked with Gabajudah as a resident artist before I started my own studio in Minna. My studio that time was known as Nubia arthouse. It was located inside the defunct Federal Mortgage Bank along F-layout. I have always wanted to practice full time. Teaching actually happened because of my posting to a school as a corp member during my service year.
Artwork by Muyiwa Akinwolere currently on exhibition at the Whitespace gallery, Lagos.
Abuja was a different terrain. My art in Abuja found expression because there were more galleries and art exhibitions where you can display your craft.
Lagos is the art capital of Nigeria. It was a gravitational pull. Moving to Lagos positioned my art to be more visible. It is sad though because I really wanted to stay up north and practice. But, at a point in my life I needed to face the realities. Coming to Lagos was going to afford me opportunities that I wasn't going to get in Abuja.
My first show in Lagos was at Pan African University Lagos in 2011. And since then, I have had 3 solo exhibitions. I participated in Lagos Diaspora festival (black heritage festival ) art exhibition in 2010 , Lagos Biennial 2017 and many more group shows.
What is he showing now?
My ongoing exhibition is called 'Those That Were Crushed'. It is a body of work that illustrates the politics of war and the impact of terror especially in Nigeria. It is a bit of satire and sarcasm.
I have been experimenting with hantu traditional dye extracted from leaves used for Arabic calligraphy. I mix hantu with a combination of other inks in a technique I dub antique ink.
Where he draws inspiration from?
My greatest inspiration is God. But I love the the work Kanebi Osahenye, Demola Ogunajo and recently Anselm Sceifer and Ai Wei-wei.
What will the artist talk tomorrow May 2?
The art-talk is to generate discussion about my ongoing exhibition. I am going to be talking about what informed my creation of these series and the process of making them. I recently have been working with recyclable materials like Soda cans and aluminium printing plates. I re-purposed them as works of art.
Adiitu, well done. More power to your elbow!

English and Irish are our 2 main legal languages, after all ? But you wouldn't know it in some high-profile areas.
We now have a Russian professor of irish working in a Gaeltacht area. He has invested in this society and culture. And good luck to him.
This transcends questions of race and religion. RTE seems to employ gaeilgeors of all colours and creeds, fair enough.
But a Russian becoming an irish professor is not the issue here. The basics of Irish at the level of a primary school kid is probably enough. Enough to weed out those who can only take, take, take from those who may be willing to give something back to our culture ? To show how soft we have become, are we giving irish passports to drum-banging Loyalist fanatics from Ulster ? Are we spending our hard-earned tax money on individuals who, until recently, could barely find Ireland on a map ?
Most other countries in the World require you to get with their language, except for the crazy countries.

For years I have been pointing out that people can become Irish citizens without being able to speak or read either of the languages of the state.
The notion of citizenship goes back to the Greeks, for whom a citizen was a free man, a person able to take part in the discourse of society and shape its laws.
In that definition, the Irish state is farcically delinquent, since it gives citizenship to people who do not know English. They can never participate in our society--perhaps just as well since they can't read a newspaper or watch a TV news program. Because our university departments are derelict in doing research on Mass Immigration, I do not have figures on this. But a few years back an Egyptian neighbor of mine was a man who had been granted citizenship along with his wife (He was on the dole--imported as a slaughterhouse worker, lost his job and the obligation to sustain him for the rest of his life was passed onto me and other taxpayers. We lived near to each other. I was paying a mortgage, I and other taxpapters were paying for this guy's free housing--what's not to like about Mass Immigration?)
This man's English was poor, but he had enough to survive in society. His wife, however, also a citizen, had no English. She spent her days watching Arabic TV stations on satellite.
I am sure there are many cases such as this, especially among Muslim migrants and those from the Horn of Africa.
There is even a ruling of the Dept of Justice that women (how do we know?) can take the Oath of Allegiance in the Irish Citizenship ceremony while wearing a hood and face mask (Gemma O Doherty, please draw attention to this).
I do not think I would insist on any Irish language ability among migrants, though it is striking that for the first time in the history of the state we now have many Irish citizens who would not even know what Go Raibh Maith Agat means, or be able to count to ten in Irish. The fantasy world Irish language crowd, fanatically pro Mass Immigration, never seem to think of the implications of this.
As I said, I believe there should be a language requirement for Irish citizenship--the useless lazy Flanagan won't introduce it however. I would let the candidate pick which language he wished to show ability in. 99.9% would choose English. Any rare case who wished to present in Irish should be fastracked, and perhaps have the fee waived.

In that definition, the Irish state is farcically delinquent, since it gives citizenship to people who do not know English. They can never participate in our society--perhaps just as well sine they can't read a newspaper or watch a TV news program. Because our university departments are derelict in doing research on Mass Immigration, I do not have figures on this. But a few years back an Egyptian neighbor of mine was a man who had been granted citizenship along with his wife (He was on the dole--imported as a slaughterhouse worker, lost his job and the obligation to sustain him for the rest of his life was passed onto the taxpayer). This man's English was poor, but he had enough to survive in society. His wife, however, also a citizen, had no English. She spent her days watching Arabic TV stations on satellite.
I am sure there are many cases such as this, especially among Muslin migrants and those from the Horn of Afirca.

The IELTS exam should be mandatory like in the uk

So, the agreement in Ulster will point at Gaeilge getting a slightly better status ? Gaeilge less official in the North than in the 26 counties, but certainly it is a step go Cheart.
The 6 counties will no longer be such a cold-house for Gaeilgeoirs.

There are other EFL exams. What's so sacrosanct about that one?
Ireland ought to devise its own English and Irish exams. A pass on on one or the other being necessary for citizenship.
considering the Billion odd that have English. I would set the bar slightly higher than that. At least 500 words of irish could be achieved without breaking a sweat.
don't believe me ? spend a week's holiday in a country with a language unfamiliar to yourself. Say, Slovenia or Latvia. Its easy to pick up a few words, often without even trying.

Poland requires a good working knowledge of Polish for all people applying for Polish citizenship..

Perhaps it was my fault, but I spent two months in St Petersburg more than 20 years ago, and I doubt I learned 500 words of Russian. I certainly don't remember 500 now.
Perhaps my problem was that a lot of the very beautiful young ladies of that city wanted to practice English with me. Their common goal was to get out of the disaster that was Drunken Yeltsin's Russia.

I agree that there should be legal requirements for those qualifying for citizenship to speak English and a modicum of Irish.
This would ensure those acquiring citizenship have a better chance of integration and would incentivise ongoing renewal of Irish as a living language. It would also give a kick up the backside to indigenous Irish who pay lip service to the language but couldn't be bothered to speak it as they would be shamed and embarrassed by newbies speaking Irish.
It would also encourage those of the Unionist tradition to explore their involvement with the language which has been substantial.
It would also put it up to the Southern home rule lot who are dismissive of anything that identifies them as distinctly Irish rather than primarily European or people living on a mere extension of our neighbouring island.
And the multicultists and their globalist backers would be on fairly weak ground in opposing such requirements.

Every child under 6 that comes into this country gets free GP care. A married couple with one working gets child benefit,more than many working in many eu countries.
Tens of thousands of non Irish Nationals "work" but are entitled to be paid fis, housing assistance payments, casual 3 day week payments and all the goodies that go with it.
I see everyday a lot of young Eastern Europeans getting grants and have medical cards too.
The entire eu experiment needs to be torn down.

Exactly..!
And the fuc#€&g looney thing is none of those fab 'benefits' are available to working taxpayers... when they are really needed.. that's been my experience...
After an uninterrupted 30 years of working and taxpaying I was laid off a short few years ago... After a year of pay cuts and short time working which cleaned out every cent I possessed. It was the most frightening experience of my adult life.. Only for my wife's foresight with a savings account, help from my 85 year old father and a mortgage payment insurance policy I had luckily not canceled I would be homeless... Fact!!!
How dare our clown government shit heads act like Lady Bountiful to the third world and Eastern Europeans when they won't provide services people have paid for...
As I've posted several times nothing... nothing!!!.. Months of delays before €100 was slowly counted out ..months of further delays for another small sum... endless forms and questions, always 'problems we'll have to look into before we can make a decision'... .no medical card for me... 'are you looking for work daily?'.. unhelpful surly staff... 'if you're getting stroppy now we'll call security'.. As one of them said after the ninth week without any help.. I felt like I was in a nightmare..
This is the reality of the African and East European welfare paradise that is Ireland..anyone Irish working person here had a different experience?? I doubt it.. Stay healthy and stay employed... That's Ireland's version of the Welfare Safety `Net...
Our traitors are relying on the uniquely Irish trait of being ashamed when you are short of money to protect them.. One downturn will end that...

Hints For Renting a Portable Toilet by Missoula, Montana!
If you are throwing any sizable event you probably think that dining and entertainment are going to be your most important concern, but any capable host should remember not to overlook the very essential need of restrooms. There are a large variety of portable toilet options available for everyone and it is vitale to get a solid understanding of the factors that are involved in selection the right one. Below you will find several of the most important details to think about when you're thinking about a portable toilet solution for your needs.
For any outdoor gatherings, and even many indoor gatherings, will need restrooms for your guests. From the smallest events to the largest wedding, porta potties are always going to be a necessity to make sure your special event goes smoothly. You should consider how formal your get together is going to be, the amount of time it will last and the amount of guests you are expecting. Take some time to find out about the company you intend to rent the portable restrooms from as well as the various types that are available to you.
The first thing you'll want to consider the range of options the vendor you are looking at has to offer. The formality of your event will help you to determine if you would prefer a portajohn or a toilet trailer, but at times you may require both. Inquire with your vendor about cleansing facilities and if the units will have separate hand washing sinks or not as well as lighting options if your occasion will be during the night hours. Finally, don't forget to ask how the toilets are serviced during especially long parties, events in warm weather, and get togethers with a large amount of guests.
If you're renting portable toilets for a high class or upscale event, such as a wedding, then there are additional options you'll want to know about. In the case of a special occasion, it would be a good idea to rent stalls that have sinks, mirrors, handicap access and even family rooms. These additions make people feel more comfortable when getting last minute alterations together as well as using the restrooms. This is very important for outside weddings because restrooms or other private indoor facilities aren't always nearby or readily accessible.
One of the most important decisions to make before renting is to determine how many portable toilets you will need for your crowd. Most rental vendors provide a simple list for large crowd use, and typical construction sites will use roughly one portable toilet per ten workers each work week. Recommendations on how many mobile toilets you will need for your special occasion will vary by supplier, but in general you will require at least 2 units for an 8-hour party with 50 people or less. Dozens of portable toilets could easily be needed for bigger events such as concerts, sizable weddings or parties.
Porta potty placement is always an important factor to think about in order to make sure people will not have to travel a long distance to relieve themselves. It's suggested to put the porta potties in a easy to acces location that is easy to access for all guests, yet is not in the way or obstructive of foot traffic. Remember that the porta potty toilet units will need to be between 20 and forty of access area for a service truck to enter if you need to empty their contents before you are done using them. You will also need to make sure they won't be placed too close to dining or refreshment related areas, as you don't want possible smells to effect your guests.
Besides the actual portable toilet units, you'll also need to ensure you have a steady portion of paper towels and toilet paper handy in case your run out. Types of supplies will include essentials like hand sanitizer, toilet paper and additional paper products when guests are washing their hands. Be sure to ask about more toilet paper and supplies with your vendor, since it can be very embarrassing if your guests need to come up and you inform you about them or find themselves in a tought situation.
Depending on the type of portable toilet you choose and the length of time you'll be renting them for, your price can be anywhere from on the low end to one hundred dollars if you are in a more expensive area. To get around any hidden charges, you need to get the exact count instead of renting more portable toilets than you'll require. If you want to save as much money as possible its suggested you choose the portable toilet company that is closest to your location, that way you can save some money on delivery fees and the customer service team is close in case an issue happens. In festival seasons and on weekdays, portable toilet vendors may increase the price of mobile restrooms. You can get better rates if you rent your portable toilets ahead of time throughout the off season. Now that you have a basic understanding of portable toilet selections and what goes into their pricing, you'll be able to make the best choice in order to host a great event regardless of how many people you're expecting.

Many of our linguists use so-called translation memory tools (such as SDLX, Wordfast Pro or Trados), which ensure terminological consistency and make your project cost less thanks to the fact that repetitions and partial (fuzzy) matches take less time to translate.

We provide overnight translation, too, on a regular basis.
