Pygmalion is a play by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, named after the Greek mythological figure. It premiered at the Hofburg Theatre in Vienna on 16 October 1913 and was first presented in German on stage to the public in 1913. Its English-language premiere took place at Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End in April 1914 and starred Herbert Beerbohm Tree as phonetics professor Henry Higgins and Mrs Patrick Campbell as Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle.

Shaw's play has been adapted numerous times, most notably as the 1938 film Pygmalion, the 1956 musical My Fair Lady and its 1964 film version.

Inspiration

In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. The general idea of that myth was a popular subject for Victorian era British playwrights, including one of Shaw's influences, W. S. Gilbert, who wrote a successful play based on the story called Pygmalion and Galatea that was first presented in 1871. Shaw would also have been familiar with the musical Adonis and the burlesque version, Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed.

Shaw mentioned that the character of Professor Henry Higgins was inspired by several British professors of phonetics: Alexander Melville Bell, Alexander J. Ellis, Tito Pagliardini, but above all, the cantankerous Henry Sweet.

First productions

Shaw wrote the play in early 1912 and read it to famed actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell in June. She came on board almost immediately, but her mild nervous breakdown contributed to the delay of a London production. Pygmalion premiered at the Hofburg Theatre in Vienna on 16 October 1913, in a German translation by Shaw's Viennese literary agent and acolyte, Siegfried Trebitsch.
Its first New York production opened on 24 March 1914 at the German-language Irving Place Theatre.
It opened in London on 11 April 1914, at Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree's His Majesty's Theatre, with Campbell as Eliza and Tree as Higgins, and ran for 118 performances.
Shaw directed the actors through tempestuous rehearsals often punctuated by at least one of the two storming out of the theatre in a rage.

Plot

Act One

A group of people are sheltering from the rain. Among them are the Eynsford-Hills, superficial social climbers eking out a living in "genteel poverty", consisting initially of Mrs Eynsford-Hill and her daughter Clara. Clara's brother Freddy enters having earlier been dispatched to secure them a cab (which they can ill-afford), but being rather timid and faint-hearted he has failed to do so. As he goes off once again to find a cab, he bumps into a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle. Her flowers drop into the mud of Covent Garden, the flowers she needs to survive in her poverty-stricken world. Shortly they are joined by a gentleman, Colonel Pickering. While Eliza tries to sell flowers to the Colonel, a bystander informs her that a man is writing down everything she says. The man is Henry Higgins, a linguist. Eliza worries that Higgins is a police officer and will not calm down until Higgins introduces himself. It soon becomes apparent that he and Colonel Pickering have a shared interest in phonetics and an intense mutual admiration; indeed, Pickering has come from India to meet Higgins, and Higgins was planning to go to India to meet Pickering. Higgins tells Pickering that he could pass off the flower girl as a duchess merely by teaching her to speak properly. These words of bravado spark an interest in Eliza, who would love to make changes in her life and become more mannerly, even though to her it only means working in a flower shop. At the end of the act, Freddy returns after finding a taxi, only to find that his mother and sister have gone and left him with the cab. The streetwise Eliza takes the cab from him, using the money that Higgins tossed to her, leaving him on his own.

Act Two

Higgins' home – the next day

As Higgins demonstrates his phonetics to Pickering, the housekeeper Mrs Pearce tells him that a young girl wants to see him. Eliza has shown up because she wishes to talk like a lady in a flower shop. She tells Higgins that she will pay for lessons. He shows no interest, but she reminds him of his boast the previous day. Higgins claimed that he could pass her for a duchess. Pickering makes a bet with him on his claim and says that he will pay for her lessons if Higgins succeeds. She is sent off to have a bath. Mrs Pearce tells Higgins that he must behave himself in the young girl's presence, meaning he must stop swearing and improve his table manners, but he is at a loss to understand why she should find fault with him. Alfred Doolittle, Eliza's father, appears with the sole purpose of getting money out of Higgins, having no paternal interest in his daughter's welfare. He requests and received five pounds in compensation of the loss of Eliza, although Higgins, much amused by Doolittle's approach to morality, is tempted to pay ten.  Doolittle refuses; he sees himself as a member of the undeserving poor, and means to go on being undeserving. With his intelligent mind untamed by education, he has an eccentric view of life. He is also aggressive, and when Eliza, on her return, sticks her tongue out at him, he goes to hit her, but Pickering prevents him. The scene ends with Higgins telling Pickering that they really have got a difficult job on their hands.

Act Three
Mrs. Higgins' drawing room

Higgins bursts in and tells his mother he has picked up a "common flower girl" whom he has been teaching. Mrs Higgins is unimpressed with her son's attempts to win her approval because it is her 'at home' day and she is entertaining visitors. The visitors are the Eynsford-Hills. Higgins is rude to them on their arrival. Eliza enters and soon falls into talking about the weather and her family. Whilst she is now able to speak in beautifully modulated tones, the substance of what she says remains unchanged from the gutter. She confides her suspicions that her aunt was killed by relatives, mentions that gin had been "mother's milk" to this aunt, and that Eliza's own father was always more cheerful after a goodly amount of gin. Higgins passes off her remarks as "the new small talk", and Freddy is enraptured by Eliza. When she is leaving, he asks her if she is going to walk across the park, to which she replies, "Walk? Not bloody likely!" (This is the most famous line from the play and, for many years after the play's debut, use of the word 'bloody' was known as a pygmalion; Mrs Campbell was considered to have risked her career by speaking the line on stage.) After she and the Eynsford-Hills leave, Henry asks for his mother's opinion. She says the girl is not presentable and is  concerned about what will happen to her, but neither Higgins nor Pickering understands her thoughts of Eliza's future, and leave feeling confident and excited about how Eliza will get on. This leaves Mrs Higgins feeling exasperated, and exclaiming, "Men! Men!! Men!!!"

Act Four
Higgins' home – midnight

Higgins, Pickering, and Eliza have returned from a ball. A tired Eliza sits unnoticed, brooding and silent, while Pickering congratulates Higgins on winning the bet. Higgins scoffs and declares the evening a "silly tomfoolery", thanking God it's over and saying that he had been sick of the whole thing for the last two months. Still barely acknowledging Eliza beyond asking her to leave a note for Mrs Pearce regarding coffee, the two retire to bed. Higgins returns to the room, looking for his slippers, and Eliza throws them at him. Higgins is taken aback, and is at first completely unable to understand Eliza's preoccupation, which aside from being ignored after her triumph is the question of what she is to do now. When Higgins does understand he makes light of it, saying she could get married, but Eliza interprets this as selling herself like a prostitute. "We were above that at the corner of Tottenham Court Road." Finally she returns her jewelry to Higgins, including the ring he had given her, which he throws into the fireplace with a violence that scares Eliza. Furious with himself for losing his temper, he damns Mrs Pearce, the coffee, Eliza, and finally himself, for "lavishing" his knowledge and his "regard and intimacy" on a "heartless guttersnipe", and retires in great dudgeon. Eliza roots around in the fireplace and retrieves the ring.

Act Five
Mrs. Higgins' drawing room – the next morning

Higgins and Pickering, perturbed by the discovery that Eliza has walked out on them, call on Mrs Higgins to phone the police. Higgins is particularly distracted, since Eliza had assumed the responsibility of maintaining his diary and keeping track of his possessions, which causes Mrs Higgins to decry their calling the police as though Eliza were "a lost umbrella". Doolittle is announced; he emerges dressed in splendid wedding attire and is furious with Higgins, who after their previous encounter had been so taken with Doolittle's unorthodox ethics that he had recommended him as the "most original moralist in England" to a rich American founding Moral Reform Societies; the American had subsequently left Doolittle a pension worth three thousand pounds a year, as a consequence of which Doolittle feels intimidated into joining the middle class and marrying his missus. Mrs Higgins observes that this at least settles the problem of who shall provide for Eliza, to which Higgins objects – after all, he paid Doolittle five pounds for her. Mrs Higgins informs her son that Eliza is upstairs, and explains the circumstances of her arrival, alluding to how marginalised and overlooked Eliza felt the previous night. Higgins is unable to appreciate this, and sulks when told that he must behave if Eliza is to join them. Doolittle is asked to wait outside.

Eliza enters, at ease and self-possessed. Higgins blusters but Eliza is unshaken and speaks exclusively to Pickering. Throwing Higgins' previous insults back at him ("Oh, I'm only a squashed cabbage leaf"), Eliza remarks that it was only by Pickering's example that she learned to be a lady, which renders Higgins speechless. Eliza goes on to say that she has completely left behind the flower girl she was, and that she couldn't utter any of her old sounds if she tried – at which point Doolittle emerges from the balcony, causing Eliza to relapse into her gutter speech. Higgins is jubilant, jumping up and crowing over her. Doolittle explains his situation and asks if Eliza will come with him to his wedding. Pickering and Mrs Higgins also agree to go, and leave with Doolittle and Eliza to follow.

The scene ends with another confrontation between Higgins and Eliza. Higgins asks if Eliza is satisfied with the revenge she has brought thus far and if she will now come back, but she refuses. Higgins defends himself from Eliza's earlier accusation by arguing that he treats everyone the same, so she shouldn't feel singled out. Eliza replies that she just wants a little kindness, and that since he will never stoop to show her this, she will not come back, but will marry Freddy. Higgins scolds her for such low ambitions: he has made her "a consort for a king." When she threatens to teach phonetics and offer herself as an assistant to Higgins' academic rival Nepommuck, Higgins again loses his temper and vows to wring her neck if she does so. Eliza realises that this last threat strikes Higgins at the very core and that it gives her power over him; Higgins, for his part, is delighted to see a spark of fight in Eliza rather than her erstwhile fretting and worrying. He remarks "I like you like this", and calls her a "pillar of strength". Mrs Higgins returns and she and Eliza depart for the wedding. As they leave, Higgins incorrigibly gives Eliza a list of errands to run, as though their recent conversation had not taken place. Eliza disdainfully explains why they are unnecessary and wonders what Higgins shall do without her (in another version, Eliza disdainfully tells him to do the errands himself; Mrs Higgins says that she'll get the items, but Higgins cheerfully tells her that Eliza will do it after all). Higgins laughs to himself at the idea of Eliza marrying Freddy as the play ends.

Critical reception
The play was well received by critics in major cities following its premieres in Vienna, London, and New York.  The initial release in Vienna garnered several reviews describing the show as a positive departure from Shaw's usual dry and didactic style.  The Broadway premiere in New York was praised in terms of both plot and acting, described as "a love story with brusque diffidence and a wealth of humor."  Reviews of the production in London were slightly less unequivocally positive, with The Telegraph noting that the play was deeply diverting with interesting mechanical staging, although the critic ultimately found the production somewhat shallow and overly lengthy. The Times, however, praised both the characters and actors (especially Sir Herbert Tree as Higgins and Mrs. Patrick Campbell as Eliza) and the happy if "unconventional" ending.

Ending
Pygmalion was the most broadly appealing of all Shaw's plays. But popular audiences, looking for pleasant entertainment with big stars in a West End venue, wanted a "happy ending" for the characters they liked so well, as did some critics. During the 1914 run, Tree sought to sweeten Shaw's ending to please himself and his record houses. Shaw remained sufficiently irritated to add a postscript essay, "'What Happened Afterwards", to the 1916 print edition for inclusion with subsequent editions, in which he explained precisely why it was impossible for the story to end with Higgins and Eliza getting married.

He continued to protect what he saw as the play's, and Eliza's, integrity by protecting the last scene. For at least some performances during the 1920 revival, Shaw adjusted the ending in a way that underscored the Shavian message. In an undated note to Mrs. Campbell he wrote,
When Eliza emancipates herself – when Galatea comes to life – she must not relapse. She must retain her pride and triumph to the end. When Higgins takes your arm on 'consort battleship' you must instantly throw him off with implacable pride; and this is the note until the final 'Buy them yourself.' He will go out on the balcony to watch your departure; come back triumphantly into the room; exclaim 'Galatea!' (meaning that the statue has come to life at last); and – curtain. Thus he gets the last word; and you get it too.

(This ending, however, is not included in any print version of the play.)

Shaw fought against a Higgins-Eliza happy-end pairing as late as 1938. He sent the 1938 film version's producer, Gabriel Pascal, a concluding sequence which he felt offered a fair compromise: a tender farewell scene between Higgins and Eliza, followed by one showing Freddy and Eliza happy in their greengrocery-flower shop. Only at the sneak preview did he learn that Pascal had finessed the question of Eliza's future with a slightly ambiguous final scene in which Eliza returns to the house of a sadly musing Higgins and self-mockingly quotes her previous self announcing, "I washed my face and hands before I come, I did".

Different versions

There are two main versions of the play in circulation. One is based on the earlier version, first published in 1914; the other is a later version that includes several sequences revised by Shaw, first published in 1941. Therefore, different editions of the play omit or add certain lines. For instance, the Project Gutenberg version published online, which is transcribed from an early version, does not include Eliza's exchange with Mrs Pearce in Act II, the scene with Nepommuck in Act III, or Higgins' famous declaration to Eliza, "Yes, you squashed cabbage-leaf, you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns, you incarnate insult to the English language! I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba!" – a line so famous that it is now retained in nearly all productions of the play, including the 1938 film version of Pygmalion as well as in the stage and film versions of My Fair Lady.

The co-director of the 1938 film, Anthony Asquith, had seen Mrs Campbell in the 1920 revival of Pygmalion and noticed that she spoke the line, "It's my belief as how they done the old woman in." He knew "as how" was not in Shaw's text, but he felt it added color and rhythm to Eliza's speech, and liked to think that Mrs Campbell had ad libbed it herself. Eighteen years later he added it to Wendy Hiller's line in the film.

In the original play Eliza's test is met at an ambassador's garden party, offstage. For the 1938 film Shaw and co-writers replaced that exposition with a scene at an embassy ball; Nepommuck, the blackmailing translator spoken about in the play, is finally seen, but his name is updated to Aristid Karpathy – named so by Gabriel Pascal, the film's Hungarian producer, who also made sure that Karpathy mistakes Eliza for a Hungarian princess. In My Fair Lady he became Zoltan Karpathy. (The change of name was likely to avoid offending the sensibilities of Roman Catholics, as St. John Nepomuk was, ironically, a Catholic martyr who refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional.)

The 1938 film also introduced the famous pronunciation exercises "the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains" and "In Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen". Neither of these appears in the original play. Shaw's screen version of the play as well as a new print version incorporating the new sequences he had added for the film script were published in 1941. Many of the scenes that were written for the films were separated by asterisks, and explained in a "Note for Technicians" section.

Influence
Pygmalion remains Shaw's most popular play. The play's widest audiences know it as the inspiration for the highly romanticized 1956 musical and 1964 film My Fair Lady.

Pygmalion has transcended cultural and language barriers since its first production. The British Museum contains "images of the Polish production...; a series of shots of a wonderfully Gallicised Higgins and Eliza in the first French production in Paris in 1923; a fascinating set for a Russian production of the 1930s. There was no country which didn't have its own 'take' on the subjects of class division and social mobility, and it's as enjoyable to view these subtle differences in settings and costumes as it is to imagine translators wracking their brains for their own equivalent of 'Not bloody likely'."

Joseph Weizenbaum named his chatterbot computer program ELIZA after the character Eliza Doolittle.

Television
 Moonlightings second-season episode "My Fair David" (1985) is inspired by the movie My Fair Lady, in a plot where Maddie Hayes makes a bet with David Addison consisting in making him softer and more serious with work. She is her Henry Higgins, while he is put in the Eliza Doolittle position, as the funny, clumsy, bad-mannered part of the relationship.
 The Man from U.N.C.L.E.s third-season episode "The Galatea Affair" (1966) is a spoof of My Fair Lady. A crude barroom entertainer (Joan Collins) is taught to behave like a lady. Noel Harrison, son of Rex Harrison, star of the My Fair Lady film, is the guest star.
 In The Beverly Hillbillies episode "Pygmalion and Elly", Sonny resumes his high-class courtship of Elly May by playing Julius Caesar and Pygmalion.
In The Andy Griffith Show season 4 episode "My Fair Ernest T. Bass", Andy and Barney attempt to turn the mannerless Ernest T. Bass into a presentable gentleman. References to Pygmalion abound: Bass' manners are tested at a social gathering, where he is assumed by the hostess to be a man from Boston. Several characters comment "if you wrote this into a play nobody'd believe it."
 In Doctor Who, the character of Leela is loosely based on Eliza Doolittle. She was a regular in the programme from 1977 to 1978, and later reprised in audio dramas from 2003 to present. In Ghost Light, the character of Control is heavily based upon Eliza Doolittle, with Redvers Fenn-Cooper in a similar role as Henry Higgins; the story also features reference to the "Rain in Spain" rhyme and the Doctor referring to companion Ace as "Eliza".
 In the Remington Steele season 2 episode "My Fair Steele", Laura and Steele transform a truck stop waitress into a socialite to flush out a kidnapper. Steele references the 1938 movie Pygmalion and My Fair Lady, and references the way in which Laura has "molded" him into her fictional creation.
 In the Magnum, P.I. episode "Professor Jonathan Higgins" of Season 5, Jonathan Higgins tries to turn his punk rocker cousin into a high society socialite. Higgins references Pygmalion in the episode.
 The Simpsons episode titled "Pygmoelian" is inspired by Pygmalion, in which ugly barman Moe Szyslak has a facelift. It was also parodied to a heavier extent in the episode "My Fair Laddy", where the character being changed is uncouth Scotsman Groundskeeper Willie, with Lisa Simpson taking the Henry Higgins role.
 The Family Guy episode "One If By Clam, Two If By Sea" involves a subplot with Stewie trying to refine Eliza Pinchley, his new Cockney-accented neighbor, into a proper young lady.  He makes a bet with Brian that he can improve Eliza's vocabulary and get her to speak without her accent before her birthday party. Includes "The Life of the Wife", a parody of the song "The Rain in Spain" (from My Fair Lady). The voice of Stewie was in fact originally based on that of Rex Harrison.
 The plot of the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Someone to Watch Over Me" is loosely based on Pygmalion, with the ship's holographic doctor playing the role of Higgins to the ex-Borg Seven of Nine.
 In the Boy Meets World episode "Turnaround", Cory and Shawn learn about Pygmalion in class, paralleling their attempt with Cory's uncool date to the dance.
 The iCarly episode "iMake Sam Girlier" is loosely based on Pygmalion.

Q: MongoDB aggregation $group with mutually exclusive fields OR split / unwind documents I have a collection with schema, with mutually exclusive fields:
{
  item_id: Number, //if this field is present in document
  a_item_id: Number, //then this both field doesn't exists and vice versa
  h_item_id: Number, //then this both field doesn't exists and vice versa
  quantity: Number,
  other_field: String
}

The problem:

I need to split documents via aggregate stage in such order, that every document which contains both a_item_id && h_item_id (twin) fields will become two separate documents (they should inherit their base fields)

Also, the point is, that I can't just $group by two fields at the same time, and then $unwind because, if this fields are presented in a document they always have different values between each other, like:
a_item_id: 2
h_item_id: 3

So, if item_id isn't present in document, then a_item_id and h_item_id are presented at the same time, always. AND they have different values between each other.
MongoPlayground example
Does anyone have any idea to split this twins and achieve such results? Like this:
  {
    "_id": ObjectId("5a934e000102030405000000"),
    "item_id": 1,
    "quantity": 1
  },
  {
    "_id": ObjectId("5a934e000102030405000001"),
    "a_item_id": 2,
    "quantity": 1
  },
  {
    "_id": ObjectId("5a934e000102030405000002"),
    "h_item_id": 3,
    "quantity": 1
  }

P.S. I understand that using this schema is a total failure, but I haven't project it. So I cann't re-build the collection in my own image.
UPDATED: What have I done already?
I am trying to solve my problem, by adding new array and push every value from every document to it, for later $unwind
  {
    $addFields: {
      items_array: [
        "$item_id",
        "$h_item_id",
        "$a_item_id"
      ]
    }
  }

A: This aggregation uses another approach, using $facet stage:
db.collection.aggregate([
  {
      $match: { a_item_id: { $exists: true },  h_item_id: { $exists: true } }
  },
  {
      $facet: {
          doc_a_item: [
               { $addFields: { h_item_id: "$$REMOVE" } },

Whether we are talking people or pets, the culprit is an overactive immune system. The immune system is designed to protect us, but when it mistakes non-harmful environmental substances (allergens) as threats, then allergic reactions occur. For example, if your dog comes across rye grass or ragweed, and the dog's immune system views it as a threat, an allergic reaction occurs.
Are some breeds more susceptible to allergies than others?
In our practice we see atopy (allergic skin disease due to environmental allergens) more commonly in golden retrievers and German shepherds. In a 2010 study published in "Veterinary Dermatology," breed susceptibility was shown to vary among geographic locations.
How can I tell if my dog is suffering from allergies? What are the common symptoms?
Pruritus (itching) is the hallmark sign of allergies. Dogs exhibit itching either by licking or chewing the skin or scratching with their feet. Common areas affected are the face, ears, feet, belly, and armpit region.
What are common things dogs may be allergic to?
Common environmental allergens include dust mites, fleas, molds and pollens from grasses, trees, weeds, and flowers. Dogs may also have food allergies or food intolerance to certain ingredients, such as beef, chicken, fish, and soy.
Antihistamines (e.g. Benadryl): Can help in some cases, but histamine is only one of many causes of itchiness. Your veterinarian will often use this class of drugs in combination with corticosteroids.
Cyclosporine (e.g. Atopica) : Effective in most cases, typically fewer side effects than corticosteroids but can cause stomach upset initially. Expensive compared to most other medications.
Allergy Vaccine : Allergy vaccines can help reduce the symptoms in patients over time, from months to years.
Shampoos, Rinses, Conditioners : All of these are a vital part of therapy.
Most important of all is visiting your veterinarian as soon as you suspect that your dog may have an allergy. Itching leads to scratching and scratching can quickly lead to infection — so treat potential allergies seriously and seek a prompt professional opinion.

Jane Austin, SAG-AFTRA Presidential Candidate, Has A Plan To Fix A Union That "Has Lost Its Way"
WGA Kicks Off Election Season As Battle Rages With Talent Agents

Committee To Protect Journalists Unionizes With WGA East
One month into its bitter standoff with Hollywood's talent agencies, the WGA West is kicking off its annual election season – one that could test its leadership's handling of the ongoing battle with agents and set the stage for next year's negotiations for a new film and TV contract.
This year, the guild's three officers – president David A. Goodman, vice president Marjorie David and secretary-treasurer Aaron Mendelsohn – will all be up for re-election in September, if they choose to run again. Half of the guild's 16 board seats also will be up for grabs.
A victory in the guild's campaign to realign the agency business almost certainly would bolster the re-election campaigns of incumbents, but a long, drawn-out stalemate could fuel an opposition movement. To date, the guild's membership overwhelmingly supports their leadership's hardline with the agencies, but that could waiver if the battle is still going on in September.
Lessons From Past Strikes May Hold Key To Unlocking WGA-ATA Impasse
The election cycle begins every spring, when the board appoints two nominating committees to recruit candidates. One committee recruits candidates for the three officer positions, and the other committee recruits at least 12 candidates for the eight contested board seats.
Members are allowed to suggest the names of prospective candidates, or throw their own hats into the ring, but those seeking the blessing of the guild's nominating committees must do so by Wednesday, May 15. The nominating committees will announce their candidate lists by June 21.
Current members in good standing also can run by petition. Those petitions must be received by the guild by July 23. Petitions for officer candidates must be signed by 25 or more current members in good standing. Petitions for board candidates must be signed by 15 or more current members in good standing.
The WGA East, meanwhile, has also begun its own annual election process, and will be holding its Council election nominees gathering on June 11.

ABOUT SCENÁ
Louis Prima Tribute and Ran Kan Kan
By Bianca Popa	on 13th August 2016 in Services
Not too long after getting home from cruising around Africa, we felt the need to get back into the dance studio. On the ship we were used to dance quite often, sometimes even every day, so we started looking for new opportunities to perform.
We decided to freshen up Scena's shows, so we choreographed two new dance routines for Rock'n'Roll and Salsa, the most requested styles from our offer.
It's not easy to create a new show, especially if the clients really appreciated the one before. We've received a lot of praise for our existing rock medley, so both the new music and the costumes had to be at least as colorful and outstanding as the current ones. We didn't just want to create a new choreography, but also to concentrate all of last year's cruising experience into the new show and upgrade our skills. And so we started to search for inspiration. We spent about five rehearsals focusing on lindy hop trying to blend it into our jive, making it faster and wackier. We've also learnt some new lifts and tricks, some of them made it into the show, some of them are still work in progress.
After all of this it was time to decide on the songs. We started with "Buona Sera", a song we already performed to back on the Aegean Odyssey. Hence we started looking into Louis Prima and so we discovered a lot of tracks we enjoyed. We finally decided that the best option for this new show would be a tribute dedicated to him. After a long selection process (what to do if Louis Prima sings so well) we came up with the final formula which, we say, mixes some of his best work: "Five months", "Buona Sera" și "Jump and Jive".
The second show we worked on was Salsa. We chose a classic songs, performed by Tito Puente for "The Mambo Kings" (a movie starring Armand Asante and Antonio Banderas) – "Ran Kan Kan". We wrote down the structure and made a list of what's fashionable these days and what's a must in a professional salsa routine. We already knew that we must have lifts and tricks, elements that cannot miss from our shows. Then we decided on the partnering pieces, footwork, group routine and couple's solos.
We are very happy with the result and we think the public appreciates our efforts.

Ukrainian radicals have put a bounty out on RT stringer Graham Phillips, who is currently working in the east of the country. Also a camera-man working for RT in Odessa has been informed about being on the radicals' radar.
"Myself I have received threats putting a bounty on my head to be kidnapped and that has been offered from [the city of] Dnepropetrovsk, as I understand, connected to the Right Sector," Graham Phillips confirmed while reporting live from the city of Slavyansk.
The ultra-nationalists also have a cameraman working for RT in the violence-gripped city of Odessa on their radar, RT's Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan confirmed in a statement.
"Our camera-man-stringer in Odessa received a call from the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). [They] said that he is now on the radar of the Right Sector. [His] former colleagues gave him up. SBU said that the Right Sector now has all his phone numbers and addresses. They gave him up for his anti-Maidan views which he never kept secret," Simonyan posted on her Twitter.
RT's Editor-in-Chief's statement comes after the channel's correspondent Irina Galushko said on her Twitter that the camera-man she is working with had received threats.
Foreign journalists working in Ukraine have been subject to an unfolding witch-hunt in Ukraine with assaults and intimidation of reporters intensifying recently.
In one of the latest incidents Lifenews journalists Julia Shustraya and Mikhail Pudovkin, were abducted by armed Ukrainian Security Service members, after they filmed an interview with one of the leaders of the pro-federalization movement in Ukraine. They were detained and later deported to Russia.
On April 21, Simon Ostrovsky, a journalist for the New York-based Vice News, was also detained by self-defense forces in Slavyansk. He was held captive for three days and questioned. He was then released.
Several days after, on April, 24, the SBU said a Russian and a Belorussian national, both employees of the Russian NTV channel have been detained in the city of Pershotravensk in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
"Ukraine's Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and other regions are witnessing the ruthless suppression of civil liberties on a daily basis. Journalists are being threatened with their lives if they continue to report from Ukraine," the letter reads, signed by the heads of All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK), NTV, REN TV, Channel 5, RT and News Media.
"The new Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly taken illegal actions barring our staff journalists covering the Ukraine crisis from performing their professional duties and violating their human dignity," the letter said.

Irvington-Preparing for New Blood
David Neilsen — April 26, 2012
On April 3rd, The Irvington Board of Education adopted Superintendent Robert Roelle's proposed budget for 2012-2013 which came in at $51,156,000. This represents an increase of 1.65% over last year's budget and will require a 2.21% tax levy increase, which falls under the district's property tax levy cap. The actual tax rate increase for residents is estimated to be 3.01%.
According to the district's website, in 2011-2012 the Irvington school district served 1,757 students. If that number remained the same in 2012-2013 (an unlikely scenario, as district enrollment has been slowly declining over the past several years) the district's CPP (Cost Per Pupil) would be $29,115. However, without the most up-to-date information, that number can only be considered an estimate.
The big news for Irvington in 2012-2013, of course, will be the arrival of new Superintendent, Dr. Kristopher Harrison. While he does not officially assume his position until July 1st, Dr. Harrison has been spending a lot of time in the district already, meeting with parents, administrators, and teachers' union officials, visiting all of the schools in the district, and working with Interim Superintendent Roelle towards a smooth transition. "I think it's going quite well," says Roelle. "I think that when July 1st comes and Dr. Harrison begins work, he'll be hitting the ground running. He's a quick study and he seems to have a good sense of what the district's about already."
Superintendent Harrison will not be the only new face in the administration. One year after removing the position, the budget approved by the Board of Education calls for a new Assistant Superintendent for Instruction to be hired at a salary of $160,000. "I think it's a very important part of the budget from the standpoint of the district moving forward to address a new mandate pertaining to the APPR as well as the Common Core standards," explains Roelle. "I'm removed from the process of the recruitment of that person but Dr. Harrison has jumped right in. His goal is to have that person in place by July 1st." When asked what impact the upcoming APPR mandate has had on the budget, Dr. Roelle states that in Irvington's case, APPR will cost the district not only time, but money. "We do anticipate that it will take a considerable amount of time," he says. "Professional development will be important. There are some costs related to student assessments [as well as] in preparation of student assessments, because a portion of the APPR has to do with using test scores to evaluate [teachers]. It's a piece of the budget that appears in almost every area. Clearly the new Assistant Superintendent for Instruction is a critical component of that, but that's not the only reason that we need that position."
The next public hearings on the proposed school budget will be held on May 1st at 7:15 pm in the Campus Presentation Room located at 40 North Broadway.

Dr Emily Rohrbach
Lecturer in British Literature
English and American Studies, English, American Studies and Creative Writing
John Rylands Research Institute, School of Arts, Languages and Cultures
2019 International Conference on Romanticism, Manchester
emily.rohrbach@manchester.ac.uk
Emily Rohrbach (Ph.D. Boston University) joined the Department of English Literature, American Studies, and Creative Writing (EAC) at the University of Manchester in January 2016, having previously taught in the United States at Hamilton College and at Northwestern University. She teaches and writes about British Romanticism, comparative Gothic literatures, narrative theory, literature and historiography, aesthetics and politics, the poetics of time, and the materiality and literary imagination of the codex book. Dr. Rohrbach welcomes inquiries from prospective postgraduate students interested in any of these areas.
In December 2015, her monograph, Modernity's Mist: British Romanticism and the Poetics of Anticipation, was published in the Lit Z series of Fordham University Press. Modernity's Mist explores the question not so much of what Romantic writers knew about their historical moment, than of why they felt they could not fully grasp "the spirit of the age"--and what implications that perceived difficulty has both for writing a history of the present in the Romantic period and for writing critically about Romanticism in the twenty-first century. Additionally, she is co-editor of Reading Keats, Thinking Politics, the 50th anniversary issue of the journal Studies in Romanticism, for which she solicited and co-translated an essay by Jacques Rancière, "The Politics of the Spider," and she is the author of numerous peer-reviewed journal articles focusing on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature.
She is currently working on two new projects: Codex Poetics, a monograph on the counterfactual imagination, the codex book, and the politics of time in the Romantic period, and Gothic Dispossessions, a monograph focusing on the politics of voice and dispossession in comparative (British, U.S., and Caribbean) Gothic literatures in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Her journal articles have appeared in Studies in Romanticism, Textual Practice, Keats-Shelley Journal, European Romantic Review, and SEL: Studies in English Literature. She has recently given (or is scheduled to give) invited talks on her new work at the University of Cambridge, Boston University, Warwick in Venice, the University of Chicago, the London-Paris Romanticism Seminar (Senate House, London), the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Lille, France.
Dr. Rohrbach represents EAC on the School-wide (SALC) Committee on Equality and Diversity as well as on the committee for the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Arts and Literature (CIDRAL). As principal organizer of the 2019 meeting of the International Conference on Romanticism, hosted by the University of Manchester, Dr. Rohrbach is responsible for bringing ICR to the UK for the first time since it was founded; the conference will coincide with the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre. She serves on the Editorial Board of The Keats-Shelley Journal.
Dr. Rohrbach is a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (since May 2019).

Roseanne, Racism, and the Problem of False Dichotomies
by Rich Rubenstein on June 7, 2018 · 1 comment
Note: the ABC Network canceled the revived sit-com, "Roseanne," after its eponymous star, Roseanne Barr, tweeted a grossly racist insult aimed at former Obama administration chief of staff Valerie Jarrett. "Roseanne" was a comedic series about the adventures and mishaps of an American white working class family.
It is difficult to talk sensibly and accurately about the role of racism and xenophobia in Trumpland. The latest sign of this is an article in The Nation by Edward Burmila, who writes that the Roseanne Barr affair gives the lie to media efforts to explain the economic basis for Donald Trump's support among many white workers.
"Roseanne is inseparable from this quest to find evidence that Trumpers are ultimately good, kindhearted people whose fears and economic insecurity are being exploited by a charlatan," says Burmila. "Journalists and researchers are now finding that the veneer of 'economic anxiety' among Trump supporters is built on a foundation of hate." The masses support far-right regimes like Trump's, he insists, because they are authoritarian racists, not because they are suffering economically or in any other way. Their beliefs are "malevolent and dangerous, not mere differences of opinion that can be resolved in 20 minutes, with a hug."
What should a sharp-eyed editor have done with this strangely simplified approach to a complex problem? First, write in the margins, in large red letters, the phrase "FALSE DICHOTOMY." People are not either racists and authoritarians or the victims of exploitation and insults; the whole problem is that they are both.
American working people have been taught for generations that when things go badly for them, they are expected to exonerate their social "betters" and blame their "inferiors." This means seeking consolation and justification in racial, nationalist, and religious solidarity rather than challenging a system dominated by billionaires and their political toadies.
Burmila asserts, quite rightly, that many white workers (and businesspeople) are eager and willing to follow Trump's racist lead. But this is not because their suffering and insecurity is a mere "veneer" disguising a "foundation of hate." Trump defeated Clinton by capturing six industrial and semi-industrial states that Obama won handily in 2012. In all these states, deindustrialization, wage stagnation, job insecurity, and the social ills accompanying a depressed economy were major issues.
It is perfectly true, as Burmila implies, that racism and xenophobia are habits of thought imbedded in American culture. But his critique fails to recognize that these are learned responses to a social crisis – responses that the Democratic Party's peculiarly classless brand of identity politics has done little to mitigate. Hillary Clinton's program to solve the underlying problems of Middle America consisted, essentially, of three points: defend the status quo, raise the minimum wage, and double-down on insults to the "deplorables." Little wonder that so many of those effectively abandoned by the liberals were persuaded to "kick down" instead of challenging that system.
Finally, still wielding the red pen, Dr. Burmila's editor should write the query "SOURCES?" next to his statement that "journalists and researchers" have discovered that Trump supporters are really malevolent racists and xenophobes rather than social sufferers. I have seen no studies that would support this peculiarly angry and despairing "either/or."
There is no doubt that racism, chauvinism, and paranoia are still alive in communities of Americans bearing the weight of the world's most inegalitarian socioeconomic system. Learned responses can be unlearned, to be sure – but only if we find ways to help fellow-sufferers identify the real causes of their suffering. We cannot call out the racists and xenophobes without also calling out the capitalist elite.
Rosa Luxemburg, who died almost 100 years ago, was right. The choice that confronts us is still "Socialism or Barbarism."
Christie December 16, 2018 at 2:41 am
Mr. Rubenstein;
You end this blog with a quote saying that we have only two choices: Socialism or Barbarism, but why not Democracy even if it is in the form of a republic? In your book Aristotle's Children, you write about the uncovering of ancient thought for a people who would soon develop from being bararians to being sophisticated. I have heard that a free people must be an educated people. We all know that Socialism always has its ruling class. Why force those being ruled to beg at the Socialist ruling class's table instead of being free to work for food of their own? Can we not believe the people we fight for to have justice are more than victims? How can we say that we really believe we are equals if we do not believe that our fellow Americans can become educated and enjoy citizenship in freedom? Why do they need to be rescued by some benevolent, Socialist government if they truly have this ability?

IMPORTANT: Follow the directions in this post only if you have already purchased and collected your PELNI tickets in advance. Tickets are NOT sold at the Batu Ampar Port. Click here for directions to purchase PELNI tickets in Batam.
Just across the road from the Batam Centre Ferry Terminal lies the familiar Trans Batam Central Busway halt (and now you know why I went to familiarize myself with the busway system during my past two trips).
Here's a price comparison between the taxi counter at Batam Centre Ferry Terminal versus the Trans Batam Corridor 05.
Well, my choice of commute seems obvious now doesn't it.
When I got to the busway halt, an ojek driver came to chat me up, asking if I was heading to Nagoya (With my backpack? Seriously?) and that I should get his ojek because it's more comfortable and the bus wouldn't come. Well, with a stroke of luck, the bus arrived within a minute, so there goes his plan, and off I went to Batu Ampar in air-conditioned comfort.
Got a front seat with more space for my backpack.
The interior of the buses plying on Corridor 05.
On the way to Batu Ampar (and Jodoh) though, the bus made a short detour for petrol. Luckily he didn't take too long, as I was behind my advised two-hour check-in time already.
The driver and conductor were kind enough to drop me off at the nearest spot right at the junction to the Batu Ampar Port instead of the actual halt a couple of hundred meters away, so that was great.
The entrance to the Batu Ampar Port. This port is shared by PELNI ferries, cargo ships, the Indonesian Coast Guard and the Indonesian Navy, so you'll see everything maritime-related here. And of course, watch out for the trucks.
The entrance toll gate to the port. Vehicles entering the port will have to pay a toll here – good thing I didn't get a cab as well since I would have to pay this fee too.
Since I have no idea where the passenger terminal was, aside from the advice given by the PELNI ticketing staff that it was "very near", I asked the guy outside the counter where the terminal was, and his reply was simple.
Simple enough, sounds like an advice I would give too.
So I walked straight and braced myself.
Credits to the everyday magic.
And saw this. I wasn't sure whether to feel relieved that there isn't a crowd or worried that I might have found the wrong place.
Once I saw the fluttering banner to the right of the main entrance featuring the KM Kelud's schedule, I knew I was at the right place. This doesn't seem so bad.
Due to the amount of pictures taken during the voyage on the KM Kelud from Batam to Jakarta, the journey will be split into parts.
It is north of Harbour Bay. You can stay around the Harbour Bay, Jodoh or Nagoya areas.
Which one best, order ticket online or purchase it straight to the pelni office in batam?
I'm unable to compare fairly as I am unable to purchase the ticket online from overseas.
But if i purchase it at the office, is it possible to sold out for the class 1 ticket?


For the past 5-6 months, I've been getting a biweekly produce "box" from my favourite local Prince George grocery and cafe, Home Sweet Home. It's been a fun experience – every time I go to pick it up, I wonder what delights will be in side. There are always some staples – things like potatoes, carrots, or onions. But there is also always something interesting to look forward too, whether it's fruit, greens, sprouts, or even a tasty chocolate treat! I like that it forces me to cook with items that wouldn't normally end up on my shopping list. And it forces me to find creative with items that aren't actually my favourite things to eat.
One of those foods are pears. You may remember I spoke to this back when I made some delicious pear butter (also from my produce box offerings). Of course, one can only eat so much pear butter, so I needed to find another tasty way to use up the pears that lurked in the produce drawer. I decided to make pear crumble for dessert one night. With spring approaching, I wasn't looking for those classic fall flavours to pair with my pears. I wanted something bright – which is where the Meyer lemons came in.
If you've never cooked with Meyer lemons, you've got to give them a try. They are a little more mellow on the acidity than a normal lemon, and have a very fragrant, almost floral note. They add a different dimension to whatever you cook – something that makes your taste buds stand up and take note. I wasn't sure how they would work in a crumble with pears, but they turned out awesome! It was the perfect way to transition a more fall/winter fruit to the warmer months of spring – the floral lemon flavour really was key. And the pears had a nice texture in the crumble, which is always my stumbling point with them. A definite winner in our house!
Fragrant Meyer lemon combines with crisp, sweet pears and hearty oats to make this rustic crumble. Not only does it make a great dessert, but is also tasty for breakfast the next morning.
2. In a large bowl, combine pears, lemon zest and juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Divide evenly between ramekins. It's okay if they seem overly full – the pears will cook down.
3. In a small bowl, combine the oats, coconut, butter, sugar, and salt until it forms a crumble. Divide evenly over the top of each of the ramekins, packing it down so it stays put.
Note: Bartlett pears are a great choice, but use whatever is available or in season. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons as well.
Have you tried Meyer lemons? What's your favourite way to use them?

Guard Frank Jackson signs with Oklahoma City Thunder, Woj reports
The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to add new names to their roster.
On Tuesday, the team signed guard Frank Jackson, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Jackson is yet another former New Orleans Pelicans player, adding to the group the Thunder picked up in the Steven Adams trade. Over Jackson's two seasons in New Orleans, he averaged 7.2 points and 1.1 assists in 16.4 minutes of play.
Drafted with the first pick of the second round in 2017, Jackson is 22 years old and hoping to prove himself as an NBA player. With the Thunder, he can fight for a spot as a backup point guard, though with the high number of players currently on the roster, it's difficult to project his chances of landing that spot.
Jackson has had one span of extended minutes as an NBA player. During the 2018-19 season, he started 16 games in a 26-game stretch. While he scored at least 19 points in six of those games and averaged almost 12 points in about 27 minutes per game, he posted just 1.5 assists per game and shot below 29% from 3.
As the offseason progresses and training camp begins, the Thunder's roster outlook will become clearer. Signing Jackson as a free agent, though, indicates legitimate interest in finding a role for him to see if he can develop.

As it turns out, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers will each have some additional free time on Sunday evening.
The contest featuring the two teams that was scheduled for Jan. 17 has been postponed, the league announced about 90 minutes prior to scheduled tip-off.
According to the release, the postponement was a result of contact tracking within the Sixers organization. As a result of the league's health and safety protocols, Philadelphia would have been unable to dress eight players — the minimum required for an NBA contest.
As a result, the Thunder will enter play on Jan. 18 at 6-6...
The Philadelphia 76ers may have one of the best records in the league, but they'll continue to be shorthanded when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night.
Star Joel Embiid remains out with right knee pain and sharpshooter Seth Curry will miss another game after testing positive for the coronavirus on Jan. 7, according to Sixers Wire.
This will be the seventh game in a row Curry is out. Embiid will miss his second straight game after being absent in the Sixers' loss Saturday to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Overall, the Sixers have lost all three games...
With the Oklahoma City Thunder trailing the Chicago Bulls by 14 with four minutes left, forward Kenrich Williams jumped into a passing lane, got the steal and finished at the other end of the court.
He's defined his short Thunder tenure by his hustle and his attitude. In the 127-125 comeback win against the Bulls, this type of play earned him a spot in the closing lineup over forward Darius Bazley.
"He was awesome tonight," head coach Mark Daigneault said. "Really, really good. He made a lot of really important plays in the game."
Williams played a season-high 27 minutes, which included...
