Debut Showmax Original is the most nominated comedy at the SAFTAs
The 2019 nominations for The South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs) were announced late last week, and for the first time in the 13-year history of the awards, a TV series produced for a video-on-demand service was in contention. The result was a surprise boost to streaming service Showmax.
The comedy series Tali's Wedding Diary, which premiered in December 2017, represented a major step for the then two-year old streaming service. It was the debut Showmax Original, the first time Showmax ventured into producing its own content. The gamble paid off, with the show becoming the most watched of any series on its first day on Showmax, and now Tali's Wedding Diary has been further recognised with seven SAFTA nominations, making it this year's most nominated comedy.
"When we first floated the idea of Tali's Wedding Diary, we joked about winning awards," says Candice Fangueiro, Showmax's head of content. "At that point, just getting our first Showmax Original off the ground was already a major challenge and it was more than we could hope for to actually hit it out of the park. I was stunned when I heard the news about the nominations - it's amazing to be considered in the same company as these other shows and thanks to this we're already seeing a fresh spike in Tali views."
Tali's Wedding Diary was also a first for co-creator and star Julia Anastasopoulos, who until then was best known as YouTube star SuzelleDIY. "I am so thrilled about the SAFTA nominations for Tali's Wedding Diary," says Julia, who is up for Best Actress - TV Comedy and Best Achievement in Scriptwriting - TV Comedy, along with her husband Ari Kruger and Daniel Zimbler. "It was such a big and daunting step to create a full TV comedy series and intro a brand-new character. I really didn't know how it would be received and am so happy to have received such positive feedback for the show and the Tali Babes character, along with the nominations. It feels so good to be recognised for something we poured our hearts into. None of it would have been possible, of course, without the incredible hard work and vision of my husband Ari and the incredible team, cast and crew that were part of the show. And a huge thank you to Showmax of course for making it all possible. Congratulations and best of luck to the entire team and to all the other nominees."
Tali's Wedding Diary is a mockumentary that follows Tali, a self-obsessed Joburg princess who's moved to Cape Town and is planning her wedding to property-agent fiance Darren (Anton Taylor). The series was inspired by Julia's own wedding to Ari, her SuzelleDIY and Tali's Wedding Diary co-creator, who is also up for Best Achievement In Directing - TV Comedy.
In addition to Julia and Ari's nominations, Tali's Wedding Diary is up for Best TV Comedy, Art Direction (Keren Setton), Cinematography (James Adey), and Editing (Richard Starkey). Winners will be announced on 2 March 2019 at Sun City Superbowl.
Since its launch in 2015, Showmax has become one of South Africa's favourite streaming services. Following the success of Tali's Wedding Diary, the second Showmax Original, The Girl From St Agnes, was released earlier this month. A third Showmax Original, Trippin With Skhumba, is slated for release at the end of February.
"With three Showmax Originals now under our belt and more on the way, we'd like to think this is the start of many more SAFTA nominations for shows from a streaming service," concludes Candice.
South African content currently on Showmax has a whopping 110 nominations and includes the most nominated movie (Five Fingers With Marseilles), telenovela (The River), drama (Lockdown) and soap (Isibaya), with more SAFTA nominees already scheduled for the coming months.

A work on the oxygen molecule wins the XXVI European Award for the Dissemination of Science
Álvaro Martínez Camarena, winner of the XXVI «Estudi General» European Award for the Dissemination of Science.
The chemist and doctor in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Álvaro Martínez Camarena (Valencia, 1992) has won the XXVI «Estudi General» European Award for the Dissemination of Science with his work Lo común y lo extraordinario. El oxígeno: historia íntima de una molécula corriente ('The common and the extraordinary. Oxygen: an intimate history of an ordinary molecule'), in which he analyses the key role of this element in science and culture. The researcher has received the award, convened by the University of Valencia, endowed with 12,000 euros and delivered virtually by the rector of the institution, Mavi Mestre, this Friday afternoon, within the framework of the "Ciutat d'Alzira" Literary Awards.
The work, organized in six chapters, analyses the lesser known factors around molecular oxygen, such as its role in the development of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's or how it can be used to eliminate tumours. It also deals with reactive oxygen species, a "rarity" to which the book dedicates, consisting of molecules that are produced in cells resulting from oxidation or reduction reactions where oxygen intervenes.
The rector of the University of Valencia, Mavi Mestre, who congratulated the winner, also highlighted: "the «Estudi General» European Award for the Dissemination of Science and the works published in the «Sense Fronteres» collection are a very clear commitment and demonstration of the interest of the University of Valencia in the dissemination of science".
With this work Álvaro Martínez wants to create a compendium of oddities about oxygen, in the style of the cabinets of curiosities of the palaces of the western nobles and monarchs of the sixteenth century, which were full of objects brought from exotic territories. In the award-winning work, treasure is a non-metallic element on the periodic table.
"I want to give weight to those investigations, those medical treatments that overturn what we think we know. Show the extraordinary hiding on one of the most common molecules that we can find", indicates the also postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia and at the Paris-Saclay University.
For the author of Lo común y lo extraordinario. El oxígeno: historia íntima de una molécula corriente ('The Common and the Extraordinary. Oxygen: an intimate history of an ordinary molecule'), "the walk on the exotic side of oxygen allows us to reflect on the fallacy of some postulates so easily accepted as the assignment of positive values to the natural and negative to the chemical", he says about complexity of the organism and the limited existing knowledge about it. "This fact shows the importance of research in basic sciences, beyond the direct utility of its discoveries", explains Martínez.
In this sense, the winner of the popularisation award has highlighted: "to know a compound or a chemical substance it is not enough to observe its most common side, but you have to go through its limits and walk along its most extreme side. To really know them, you have to tempt them and put them to the test: you have to penetrate into the oddities that it tends to hide".
The jury this year has been formed by María Dolores Real, vice-rector for Innovation and Transfer and who has chaired it; Carolina Moreno, director of the «Sense Fronteres» collection; Pere Puigdoménech, awarded in the XXV edition of this award; M. Teresa Ferrer, researcher at the UV Department of Spanish Philology; and Ismael Mingarro, researcher at the UV Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Álvaro Martínez Camarena has a degree in Chemical Sciences and a doctorate in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from the University of Valencia, a subject on which he also has a master's degree. In addition, he has a master's degree in Journalism and Scientific Communication from the National University of Distance Studies. His research area is focused on the design of new molecular systems with antioxidant activity, especially for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
Since he began his research career in 2016, Álvaro has carried out various research stays at the University of Vienna and the University of Florence, and has published more than 15 articles in international journals. In 2014 he received the Extraordinary Degree Award and in 2018, the Fernando Pulidori International Award, awarded to a young researcher in the area of thermodynamics.

The Holocaust may not have been an unpredictable genocide in regards to the potential extremes of human nature, but when compared to other large scale pogroms it remains an anomaly through its modernized nature. The Holocaust does not elicit the usual genocidal imagery often characterized by a type of primitiveness and chaos, but is marked by a bureaucratic industrial system in which the organization of upscaled executions became reminiscent of a pragmatically scheduled business model. How should we expect our ethical values to progress relative to industry?
Zygmunt Bauman explores the pathology behind the Holocaust in Modernity and the Holocaust, an attempt to make sense of the psychology and behavior of modern constructs applied to genocide. Bauman concludes that science has become increasingly distinguished by a "self-imposed moral silence" (29) and that science seems to be making strides in efficiency while simultaneously abandoning morality. Bertrand Russell, a renowned British philosopher (1872-1970) came to a similar conclusion in his prediction of science's relationship with ethics in his piece ICARUS or The Future of Science in 1924. Briefly put, Russell states that mankind can produce equal good with the power of science as potential harm, but there is a pattern between his observations of men's passions revolving mainly around "evil" desires, which makes him highly wary of advance technology in the hands of mankind.
So far it seems as though humans have held onto our instinctual ethics while developing more efficient ways to pursue them. The Holocaust remains a perfect example of this. Oddly enough, calamitous events such as this provide short term devastation, but eventual enlightenment. Could it be argued that events like the Holocaust are actually societal building blocks to understanding human behavior and preventing genocide in the future? Or will violence always be as certain as death and taxes?

In the wake of the House's vote to defund Planned Parenthood, Lindy West, Amelia Bonow and Kimberly Morrison launched #ShoutYourAbortion to remind supporters and critics alike abortion is a legal right to anyone who wants or needs it.
Women shared their experiences along with the hashtag, proving, in many cases, their decisions to abort safely and lawfully prevented grim futures for all involved.
Allies, male and female, lent their voices to the cause.
Naturally, opposers briefly commandeered the hashtag in efforts to condemn those proudly speaking out, further illustrating the shame cast upon women who choose abortions.
Despite expected backlash, the hashtag stands as a reminder women remain entitled by law to safe abortions no matter their reasons.


Composting is the decomposition of plant remains and other once-living materials to make an earthy, dark, crumbly substance that is excellent for adding to houseplants or enriching garden soil. It is the way to recycle your yard and kitchen wastes, and is a critical step in reducing the volume of garbage needlessly sent to landfills for disposal. It's easy to learn how to compost. For more easy tips click here.
There are a tremendous number of options for containing your compost. Some people choose to go bin less, simply building a compost pile in a convenient spot on the ground. Others build bins from materials such as recycled pallets, or two-by-fours and plywood. And, of course, there are many commercial bins on the market.
Today, the use of composting to turn organic wastes into a valuable resource is expanding rapidly in the United States and in other countries, as landfill space becomes scarce and expensive, and as people become more aware of the impacts they have on the environment. In ten years, composting will probably be as commonplace as recycling aluminum cans is today, both in the backyard and on an industrial scale. Many states in the USA have stated goals or legislative mandates to drastically reduce the volume of waste being sent to landfills. Utilizing yard and kitchen wastes (which make up about 30% of the waste stream in the USA is a big part of the plan to minimize waste overall).
You can contribute to the 'composting revolution' by composting your own yard and kitchen wastes at home. If you have a large yard, you might prefer the ease of composting in a three-bin system out by the back fence. Richland County Solid Waste Management Authority promotes composting through home composting education efforts and the collection of yard wastes for large-scale composting. Whatever your style of composting, there's plenty of room to get involved!
Air: Composting microbes do not do their work well without sufficient aeration. Without air, your compost pile will be taken over by anaerobic microbes and, while still decomposing, tends to convert to a garbage like decomposition (smelly!) which none of your neighbors will appreciate. To make sure you have enough aeration for your compost, thoroughly break up or mix in any ingredients that tend to mat down (like green grass clippings or wet leaves with a spade or garden fork, then pile it back on to get back to work.
Water: Your pile should be wet but not soaked or under water. Too dry and the decomposition will slow down – too wet and you have smelly problems.
To be sure that you have plenty of moisture, add your kitchen scraps (fruit and vegetable cuttings are great) to your pile often to promote proper moisture.
Food: There are two major types of "food" that your compost pile will contain – browns and greens. Browns are dry or dead plant matter as in straw, dry weeds, autumn leaves, wood chips or sawdust (you may want to limit larger wood chips as they take longer to break down) and are the dryer part of your pile. The greens – fresh plant matter, green weeds, kitchen fruit, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and tea bags. The greens provide a great source of nitrogen and is critical to the microbes.
Other things that affect your compost is the weather – warm or cold temperatures will speed up (warm is good) or slow down (cold) your decomposition of your compost. In the winter in colder climates (OHIO!) your compost pile will go dormant – but will start up again in the spring.
Compost is ready for use when it is dark in color and smells earthy (like soil) and it is difficult to recognize any of the ingredients – they just look like dirt. For most outdoor garden use it is fine to use compost that isn't quite "done" as it will finish in the soil and add enrichment to your garden.
Why Compost? Compost does several things to benefit the soil that synthetic fertilizers cannot do. First, it adds organic matter, which improves the way water interacts with the soil. In sandy soils, compost acts as a sponge to help retain water in the soil that would otherwise drain down below the reach of plant roots (in this way, it protects plants against drought). In clay soils, compost helps to add porosity (tiny holes and passageways) to the soil, making it drain more quickly so that it doesn't stay waterlogged and doesn't dry out into a brick like substance. Compost also inoculates the soil with vast numbers of beneficial microbes (bacteria, fungi, etc.) and the habitat that the microbes need to live. These microbes are able to extract nutrients from the mineral part of the soil and eventually pass the nutrients on to plants.

Tonight's guest is Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, concertina/melodeon player with Granny's Attic, one of the young roots outfits currently freshening up the English Folk circuit.
PW: Well 2017 will see Granny's Attic livening up Chester, Saddleworth, Bromyard, Banbury & Hartlepool Folk Festivals among others. So I'm here with a biriyani from No Bones Jones & couple of virtual pints of Doombar from the Camra tent.
PW: Great to see a concertina on a Festival stage- is that a Jeffries Anglo you're playing, Cohen? What's your musical background?
CB-K: Yes, that is a 45 key Jeffries Anglo c. 1925.
I don't come from a particularly musical family, my dad does play the guitar occasionally, but I didn't grow up in a house surrounded by music and musicians. But my family were quite encouraging when I started getting interested in music. I started as a musician when I was 6, learning the violin at school. Through my violin lessons I was learning the occasional folk tune and I always found those more enjoyable than anything else I had to play, so I started exploring that music further. When I was around 10 I got myself a handful of books of folk tunes and taught myself how to play those and started going whenever I could to sessions and folk clubs and festivals. It was here that I started to encounter squeezeboxes of various types and I was absolutely fascinated by them. For Christmas in 2007 my mother brought me a toy melodeon and I learnt a handful of tunes on that. The following year when I was 12 I got my first concertina, then a year later my first melodeon. Since then it's been the squeezeboxes that have dominated what I do musically. Most of what I do is music from the English folk tradition and a lot of it with my band Granny's Attic. I'm also doing a music degree (as I write this I have just one month left until that's finished) and through that I've been playing various other types of music on the concertina, particularly music by Baroque composers (Handel, Bach, Pachelbel etc.).
PW: You mentioned university work- it must be difficult to fit in such a busy touring schedule with studying?
CB-K: Yes it certainly can be!
PW: But good that the band is so busy/successful? How did Granny's Attic come together, by the way?
CB-K: We all met a secondary school in Worcester. We all knew each other as musicians, we'd all played in the school orchestra (I didn't play concertina in the orchestra!). We had each individually started to become interested in folk music and were looking for people to play with so we decided to come together. It was in 2009 when we started the band. The idea was really just for it to be a bit of fun, for us to play some tunes in our lunch breaks at school. We certainly weren't thinking about being a regularly gigging band when we started but things just naturally progressed over the years.
PW: So you chose the traditional route as a band, rather than possibly more commercial one as singer/songwriters of contemporary issues?
CB-K: That just seemed the natural route for us to follow. Really, I don't think any of us had ever thought about being a band that focused mainly on contemporary material, I think the thing that drew us together was our shared interest in traditional music (of course I can only speak for myself, the other two may have completely different opinions). However, we do play some contemporary material in the band; Lewis (our fiddle player) has written a few tunes which we include in our set. Likewise I play a handful of original numbers in my solo set. But for me, my first love is certainly traditional material.
PW: Now for your version Cohen (which we'll hear at the end), you accompany your singing with the Anglo. How did you pick up this (to me) difficult technique?
CB-K: The first time I encountered an Anglo in person, it was being used as an instrument to accompany singing. I remember that was what got me hooked on it, there was something special to me about the way that it worked with the voice and the blend that they achieve. So I knew as soon as I started on the Anglo that I wanted to use it as an instrument to accompany songs. At this point I didn't sing in public, only at home, so this meant when I finally came to sing in public with the concertina (aged 17 at this point) I had 5 years of experience of practicing this at home. The way I'd picked my technique of singing with the concertina was mainly through listening to other concertina players and pretty much trying to emulate what they did. When I started, I was heavily influenced by the concertina accompaniments of John Spiers in Spiers and Boden and of John Kirkpatrick so I spent a while trying to learn what they did. Then I discovered Damien Barber and tried to apply the techniques he employs on the English onto the Anglo. I've moved away from that approach now, and tried to develop my own style, but this was certainly a very good way to start for me.
PW: Now you play melodeon on some sets- there's a cracking version on YouTube of "The Growling Old Man and the Growling Old Woman", with your fingers burning up the fingerboard!
Here's an Irish infant prodigy – Lucas Candelino who got to play a set with Sam Humphreys and Patrick Rimes at a Calan house concert.
PW: What kind of contact mikes do you use on stage to amplify your squeezeboxes?
CB-K: I have four Audio-Technica ATM350 mics that I use. Two for the melodeon and two for the concertina. I've had to do some small modifications to them to get them to fit on the squeezeboxes, but it's the best system I've found to date. Having said that, when I'm playing solo, quite often I'll just go for the classic two instrument mics on stands method. I think that gives a slightly truer sound. If I'm solo I don't tend to move around as much as in the band, and I don't have to worry about other instruments spilling onto the mics either.
PW: What are the band's plans for the future?
CB-K: More of the same really. As long as people want to listen to us, we'll carry on doing gigs wherever we can. We released our most recent album in summer of 2016, we have vague plans to do a follow up but noting set in stone and it probably won't be for a while yet.
PW: And now a funky version of another of your set – Solas : "Newry Highwayman" aka The Roving Blade.
PW: It was great to see a youth presence at the ICA AGM – what do you think the association's priorities for action should be?
CB-K: I think it was best summed up at the AGM, that the ICA's primary purpose should be to promote the playing and history of the concertina. As for the question of getting young people involved and encouraging them to take up the concertina, really my guess is as good as anybody else's.
As for very young children (primary school age), I've often found that when they see me with a concertina, whether it be at one of my gigs or in some of the workshops I've done in schools or at festivals, they always seem to be intrigued by the instrument. I think there is something inherently intriguing about the concertina (at the AGM John Kirkpatrick described this as the 'steam train effect), I think this is part of what got me hooked. I have quite often let young children have a closer look or a little play on my concertina and they always seem to be interested.
I think part of the problem with getting young children into concertina playing is firstly the lack of teachers and a standardised concertina syllabus (for want of a better word). If I think back to when I played the violin, pretty much every school had a violin teacher that would come in and teach from a pretty standard syllabus and you'd go through music exams and get various grades on the way. Whether that would be a good thing for the concertina I'm not sure, part of what I liked about the concertina was that I was self-taught and I didn't have somebody telling me what to do. On the other hand looking at the number of young people playing instrument that have gone through 'classical training' shows that this method must have some success.
The other major constraint I think for young people is the price of concertinas. If you want a decent playable concertina you're looking at spending at least £1000, and several times more for a decent quality instrument. Again comparing my experiences with the concertina and violin, my first concertina cost £200 and lasted me 3 months before it was basically unplayable, my first violin cost me £50, and it was my main instrument for my several years and is still playable today.
CB-K: Seeing Spiers and Boden for the first time in March 2009 was a real life changing musical moment for me. At this point I had been playing the concertina for around 6 months, but John Spiers's playing was a real revelation to me. But even more significant, I would say that seeing John Spiers was the most important factor in my decision to take up the melodeon. This song Bold Sir Rylas is one that I remember them playing the first time I saw them and was one of the first concertina song accompaniments that I worked out.
CB-K: John Kirkpatrick is certainly my biggest hero as a concertina and melodeon player and singer. This video of The Nobleman's Wedding was my first encounter with John. I'd heard his name mentions in passing in a few conversations about squeezeboxes so I decided to look him up and this was one of the few videos of him online at the time (this must have been around 2008). To be honest I don't remember the video having any great effect on me at the time. Really it was seeing John live for the first time in 2009 that instilled my love for his music. I think I have now seen John Kirkpatrick live more times than I have seen any other individual or band.
PW: Yes I know what you mean about John K- I played "Plain Capers" to death when I first got it.
As a teenage folkie, my favourite acts were groups like Spiers and Boden, Bellowhead and the Demon Barbers. Quite often I saw the name Peter Bellamy cropping up in their album notes as the source of their songs, so I was inspired to find out who this was. I remember not being particularly impressed initially, but after a while I came to love his distinctive voice. I think Peter Bellamy seems to be regarded now as a very influential singer for many on the folk scene, but I think that his concertina playing has been overlooked. I have often seen Peter's concertina playing dismissed as 'primitive' or 'rudimentary' (which is somewhat true of his earlier recordings), however, I think his later Anglo playing ranks as some of the greatest I've heard from anyone. Cholera Camp shows the distinctive concertina style Peter Bellamy employed in much of his later work.
CB-K: A little cheat for me since this covers four of my biggest heroes in one track. Bandoggs were a short lived folk group that Pete Coe, Chris Coe, Nic Jones and Tony Rose. Tony Rose and Chris Coe are two of my favourite concertina players (English and Duet respectively). I have also had the privilege to have been taught by Pete Coe during my time at university.
CB-K: Something completely different to the previous videos. I've only discovered Adrian Brown's music in the past year or so, but (with no exaggeration) I think from a technical view, he must be the greatest Anglo player I've ever heard. This arrangement of a Fantasia for Lute written by 16th century composer Philip Van Wilder has been particularly inspiration for me as I have explored the idea of arranging music of the 16th-18th centuries for the Anglo. Also played on a baritone concertina, for which I have a particular fondness.
PW: Well you've introduced me to a player I didn't know about. I'll certainly check him out.
PW: So to finish off, Granny's Attic with their version of "Death of Nelson"-featuring our guest Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne.
And thanks for taking the time to interview for our readers, Cohen.

British Admiralty Biography
The British Admiralty has produced nautical charts since 1795 under the auspices of the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (HO). Its main task was to provide the Royal Navy with navigational products and service, but since 1821 it has also sold charts to the public.
In 1795, King George III appointed Alexander Dalrymple, a pedantic geographer, to consolidate, catalogue, and improve the Royal Navy's charts. He produced the first chart as the Hydrographer to the Admiralty in 1802. Dalrymple, known for his sticky personality, served until his death in 1808, when he was succeeded by Captain Thomas Hurd. The HO has been run by naval officers ever since.
Hurd professionalized the office and increased its efficiency. He was succeeded by the Arctic explorer Captain William Parry in 1823. By 1825, the HO was offering over seven hundred charts and views for sale. Under Parry, the HO also began to participate in exploratory expeditions. The first was a joint French-Spanish-British trip to the South Atlantic, a voyage organized in part by the Royal Society of London.
In 1829, Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort was appointed Hydrographer Royal. Under his management, the HO introduced the wind force scale named for him, as well as began issuing official tide tables (1833). It was under Beaufort that HMS Beagle completed several surveying missions, including its most famous voyage commanded by Captain FitzRoy with Charles Darwin onboard. When Beaufort retired in 1855, the HO had nearly two thousand charts in its catalog.
Later in the nineteenth century, the HO supported the Challenger expedition, which is credited with helping to found the discipline of oceanography. The HO participated in the International Meridian Conference which decided on the Greenwich Meridian as the Prime Meridian. Regulation and standardization of oceanic and navigational measures continued into the twentieth century, with the HO participating at the first International Hydrographic Organization meeting in 1921.
During World War II, the HO chart making facility moved to Taunton, the first purpose-built building it ever inhabited. In 1953, the first purpose-built survey ship went to sea, the HMS Vidal. Today, there is an entire class of survey vessels that make up the Royal Navy's Hydrographic Squadron. The HO began to computerize their charts in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1968, the compilation staff also came to Taunton, and the HO continues to work from there today.
