When Hollywood Speaks "International French:" the Sociopolitics of Dubbing for Francophone Quebec
von Flotow, Luise, Quebec Studies
Translation of a particular sort provokes regular political uproars and scandals in Quebec. It is the stuff of parliamentary debates, laws and regulations (and their amendments), countless letters to the editors, and numerous websites and blogs. Given the fact that almost 99% of the audiovisual product screened in Quebec is originally in English, and from Hollywood (SODEC 2008), translation issues are very public. A recent scandal illustrates the powerful emotional and sociopolitical debates set off in Quebec by ... film dubbing. In June 2007, controversies erupted around the dubbed-in-France version of Shrek the Third, the third in a series of animated Hollywood children's movies constructed around a green ogre who sets out with a noisy donkey at his side to free his swamp of various fairytale creatures and meets love in the process. Due to the policies of Dreamworks/ Paramount studios, this series is dubbed only in France and then distributed in Quebec. The dubbing raised the ire of local Quebec politician Mario Dumont (Action democratique du Quebec) to such an extent that be sought to address the problem with legislative solutions. (2) He claimed that his and many other Quebec children could not understand the Franco-French put in the mouths of the Hollywood creatures, and argued that this was a political matter that needed to be addressed by the provincial government.
While Dumont objected in particular to the French slang used by the Shrek characters, many other aspects of Franco-French dubbing tend to irritate Quebec audiences: regional French expressions, French syntax, French pronunciation, and the pitch of the actors' voices which is much higher and more "pointu," more hectic. (3) Dumont's bill did not go far in the Assemblee nationale in Quebec City, since it did not have the support of the Minister of Culture, who instead sent a representative to Hollywood to try to broker a deal with the major studios that would see more movies dubbed especially for and in Quebec. Yet, the controversy served, once again, to stir up opinions on this translation issue, revealing its importance to Quebec Francophones.
The controversies are not restricted to Hollywood films dubbed-in-France, however. They can be even more virulent when American audiovisual products are made to speak Quebecois. A case in point is the 1999 American television series, Ally McBeal. Bought by Quebec's TVA, dubbed into Quebecois, and scheduled to run in prime rime, it failed because of the outcry around the language it used. It was quickly taken off the air, to be replaced a few years later by the version dubbed-in-France. Indeed, the tolerance level for Quebec French from the mouths of international actors is low since audiences seem to want it reserved for local productions, to provide a credible reflection of local identity in that very specific space of television series or feature films set in Quebec. (4) It is also used exceptionally to dub certain types of cartoons for children and for certain characters in Les Simpson.
In what follows, I briefly describe the translation processes used to synchronize film in Quebec as well as some of the challenges facing the industry. (5) In a second section, I provide an overview of the discourses around film dubbing as they have appeared in various public documents since the late 1960s when the industry developed in Quebec; and I trace the three main discursive threads: cultural, economic, and pedagogical. Lastly, I discuss a number of examples of excerpts from recent Hollywood feature films dubbed in Quebec in order to examine the question of language quality that so vexed M. Dumont.
Questions about the quality and type of language used for dubbing in Quebec are pressing and recurrent. They pertain in many other societies that dub Hollywood film and false sensitive issues related to aesthetics and culture, the control of language, and identity. I address these issues in regard to Quebec first of all. …

Boyes Rees chairwoman wins Welsh property award
Jane Boyes, the chairwoman and managing director of Boyes Rees Architects in Cardiff has landed the top accolade at the 2011 Welsh Women Mean Business Awards
In 1994 after a successful management buy-out Boyes created Boyes Rees Architects and, it is claimed, became a 'leading figure' in the Welsh property and construction industry.
On receiving the award, she said: 'I am very proud of Boyes Rees and what the business has achieved over the last 17 years.
'Despite the continued challenging market conditions facing us all in the industry, we are continuing to secure new work with existing and new clients across a range of different sectors including healthcare, education, leisure, commercial and residential, and have also secured our place in this year's AJ100 listing for top UK architectural practices.'
Sarah Cornelius-Price, the awards organiser, said: 'Myself and the judges have met some phenomenal women through this process. Jane, and the other winners, are hugely inspirational and are great examples of how women make an incredible contribution to the Welsh economy.'
Boyes was also shortlisted for the 'Best Business Leader' award. The event took place at the Vale Hotel in Hensol, Cardiff.

folks, this is a normal good looking woman. not your typical porno girl. she's the woman you see in the grocery store and wonder what she looks like naked. i blew my load just watching her grind. she knew what she was doing.
If she "likey" so much, then why didn't she take his load all over her face and swallow most of it? That's the difference between the top porn stars and wannabe's.
WOW, Im glad this is here! I jerked off a few times to the DVD rented from my local dirty video store; now i can watch it again for free!

Weakly null sequences with an unconditional subsequence
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: In the present paper we provide sufficient conditions such that a normalized pointwise convergent to zero sequence in with a compact space and a Banach space has an unconditional subsequence.
As a consequence we obtain that any such sequence of functions with finite and uniformly bounded cardinality of their range admits an unconditional subsequence.

The problem stems from
- the fact that there is a special character (%20 is "space") in my Tomcat location.
- the way Resouce is converted to String in method private void configureJaasUsingLoop():

I've converted the Resource to a File before calling getURL() on it. File.get().URL.toString() is encoded differently from the one obtained from Resource.getURL().toString(). More importantly it is compatible with the current behaviour of com.sun.security.auth.login.ConfigFile which just substitutes "/" characters in the URL for the file separator character, before attempting to use it to load the file. I think the problem essentially lies with the behaviour of ConfigFile, but this seems to fix it.

Universities 'Debate' Climate Change
Wojtonis, Adam, Review - Institute of Public Affairs
Universities have bought into the climate change debate in a big big way - degrees in climate change and sustainability seem to be setting up an entire generation to be completely reliant on the climate change consensus'.
Take Youthdecide.com.au, which markets itself as a national youth vote on climate change. It is sponsored by Monash University and has been widely promoted by the University of NSW and the University of Melbourne. The website presents three scenarios and asks 'As a young Australian, which world do you want to inherit?' The three worlds consider the current policy of emission cut targets of up to 20 per cent and hypothetical cuts of up to 40 per cent and over 40 per cent. There is no option for a zero cut policy.
Not only pre-empting the result, it ignores the debate about climate change we should be having. The website calls for a united voice to 'compel the Australian government to lead the way in securing a strong global agreement.' Whatever happened to individualism and individual effort?
The website fails to mention is the economic situation in these three worlds as a direct result of the carbon emission cuts. Cuts in carbon emissions will have significant economic consequences. Every Australian industry will be affected. Opportunities for young people will be limited and the relative luxury that we grew up in will diminish.
No surprise then that '97-5 per cent of young people voted for emissions targets stronger than those currently proposed by the government.'
Democracy is based on the competition of ideas. That means we need to have an honest debate about the facts before we come to any conclusion. Science is about the facts. Once it is politicised, it loses any meaning and cannot be relied upon.
Monash University being a major named sponsor of this initiative demonstrates the contempt universities have for debating climate change. …

TVH, of course, is also not "villain based action", but it's a comedic romp, and while it's lots of fun, it's hardly deep or impactful beyond that. I will say that several of the movies do a good job with character development, specifically. But in the end, the core of almost every Trek film is "beat bad guy, stop threat, save day."
Die Hard
First Blood
, and
Enter the Dragon
are examples of action movies.
The Voyage Home
is not an action movie at all.
Of course it isn't. Which is why I said it wasn't in my post. But it's a comedic romp, which is still not anything like TMP in terms of concept, plot, or pacing, and THAT was my point.
The Wrath of Khan
has quite a bit of action in it, but it also spends a
of time focusing exclusively on character interactions and development. To say that the only theme of TWOK is to defeat Khan is really to miss the point entirely. It's about facing mortality, most prominently Kirk aging and Spock sacrificing himself to save the ship. The climax of the movie does not come when Khan dies, but when Spock dies.
Didn't say it was the only THEME. That would be a silly thing to say, since the movie explores other themes. You'll also notice that I acknowledged that several of the movies did a good job with character development. I said it's at the core of the movie, and what I meant was that it's at the core of the
. I thought this was pretty clear from what I said about TMP, but I'll explain in more detail. TMP had a high-concept sci-fi
. It also had a slower, more deliberate pace. Now, it was perhaps TOO slow, and the movie has lots of problems and is overall not one of the good ones, but what I was getting at was that I wish more of the Trek films had attempted something like it in terms of concept and plot. That's what I'm referring to: regardless of how much character development there is, regardless of how many other themes are explored, the core plot of EVERY Trek movie except TMP and TVH involves a villain.
The Search for Spock
has little action.
I don't think you are using the term "action film" the way it's generally used. I think a better term for these
Star Trek
movies would be
science fiction adventure
films. Others can address the rest.
On this, you may be correct. I think I was using the term carelessly. The key part, for me, is perhaps not the "action" part, but the "villain-based" part. "Sci-fi adventure" is, no doubt, more accurate. My overall points remain, though, which are A) that I wish at least ONE other Trek film had attempted to do something like TMP in terms of concept, pacing, etc, and B) that
of the movies can touch the very best of the television shows when it comes to depth, complexity, and thoughtful storytelling (again, except TMP, which hits many of the right notes in terms of concept, but is just no fun to watch).
As for TWOK, I didn't "miss the point". I just didn't think it was all that great of a movie. I get what themes they were trying to explore, I get what the movie was all about, I definitely see what they were
for... I just didn't think it worked out very well.

I don't get the criticism that the TNG movies "felt like episodes." Other than INS (and ironically the popular FC, which DID strike me as a plot they could have used for a two-parter, albeit with a lower budget), this doesn't strike me as very accurate.
I think Generations and Nemesis are both very cinematic and at least LOOKED pretty great, despite whatever other problems they may have had.
I agree that the plot of FC, the core storyline, could have worked as an ep, but the surrounding production values and cinematic style felt very movie like to me. Maybe that's partly why the criticism seems so vague: unless one is personally well-versed in filming technique, a movie feeling too much like an episode can be just that: feel. Hard to quantify.
And in that vein, I also thought NEM "felt" very big, very cinematic. It got that right. It had a boatload of flaws that bogged it down into being one of the worse Trek films, but that wasn't one of them.

Star Trek was about the idea that there were no bad guys or aliens but others with different reasons for what they have to do. Think Balance of Terror. No better, no worse. Kirk points out that the Gorn might have had a good reason to destroy Cestus Three, and the climax to me was when he decided not to kill him, today! That shows a radical departure in his thought processes and ability to learn and change and regognize that one sees things as others see you - the reverse side has a reverse side which may be more powerful, who knows. Popular opinion could be wrong and the single metron child noted that complimenting Kirk for not being a good soldier drone of the state.
This is partly what I'm talking about. The shows did things like this, presenting "threats" that weren't necessarily as simple as they appeared, and "bad guys" who had some complexity to them, and maybe weren't really [I]just[I] "bad guys." Excepting General Chang from TUC, I felt that the main villains in all of the Trek movies that had them were pretty stock. Decently written and well-acted, in most cases, but very much just "bad guys" who are out to do bad things because they are evil.
The music of the TOS movies were better, or shall I dare say just different and more to my personal taste. They weren't afraid of risk taking as Berman was terrified of. I'm sure when he gets older he is going to save string too.
Berman's inexplicable fear of strong musical scores was really limited to the shows, not the films. Dennis McCarthy, who scored a bunch of TNG and DS9, created a MUCH more powerful, more grand score when he was allowed to stretch his legs; his GEN music blows away just about everything he ever did for the shows. And Goldsmith's scores for the latter three TNG films are also anything but "sonic wallpaper" (the term that is - rightly - thrown around when discussing the music from the Berman-era TV shows). I personally liked the TNG film scores better than the TOS ones, except for TUC which I thought was very good as well.

Oh, come on, she did
more than that. In one movie, she complained about an EMH, and in another, Data threw her into the water.
And yeah, "The Picard & Data show" IS one of the biggest flaws of the TNG movies. NEM in particular suffers from this. INS does to some degree, though I personally thought that the best scenes in that movie by far were the ones featuring either the whole cast (the stuff at the beginning, before the "truth" about the Ba'Ku is revealed), and later, the parts featuring Riker, Geordi, and a couple of guest cast Starfleet officers (the space battle sequences on the Ent-E... except for that stupid "manual steering column" bit, oy). I think it and NEM - while they both have BIG fundamental problems with their plots - would have at least been more
if the entirety of the main cast had been used more, and more effectively.

Against our better judgement, we spent last weekend in Panama City, FL. with SbB Girl Cecilia.
(Take a guess what the highlight of the trip was)
We'd never attended one of the obligatory Spring Break debauche-offs, but since we're in a Florida for a patch, we gave it a shot.
First two days we're rougher than Dennis Felton's voice late last night. Sunday, the weather cleared, and we actually confirmed inhabitants among the beer can-strewn dunes of the Florida panhandle.
(What we now think of when the Army comes to mind)
We wish we could say it was a great experience, especially after the nine-hour drive from South Beach (we refuse to get on turboprop for at least another week).
We can't. Not after reaching our yearly quota of 100 beached (very) Big 10 coed sightings in about 25 minutes on Sunday afternoon.
(Pink bikini in no way reason for photo selection)
We'll be back later today for our thoughts on our Georgia Bulldogs and other topics of varying import. Not including our first ever ingestion of state-road-shouldered boiled peanuts yesterday, and subsequent multiple visits to Florida's spotlessly clean interstate rest areas over the next six hours.

There was NO need to give every STH bonus tickets. Give them as many as they have for season tickets and that's it. No that it would've been much more but it woulda been something, not this asinine stupidity where we might have to be seat fillers to get in
Many sth's didn't even get that unless they were able to get extras. Every sth account got two to start with, even if it was an eight-seat account.

Gate Appoints a Pair of First-time Artistic Directors
Editorial Staff • West End • 6 Feb 2007
Both in their late 20s, neither Abrahami nor Cracknell have previously run a venue and, though long-standing friends, they have never worked together before. Their joint application clinched them the Gate directorship over 60+ other candidates because, according to a theatre spokeswoman, the board were excited by their vision for "expanding form and challenging the space" at the Gate.
Abrahami won the 2005 James Menzies-Kitchin Award for her production of Samuel Beckett's playlets Play and Not I. This month her production of The Eleventh Capital opens as part of the Royal Court's Young Writers' Festival. Cracknell created A Mobile Thriller which was staged in a moving car for an audience of three strapped in the back. She's currently developing a co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland.
The Gate spokeswoman told Whatsonstage.com that the appointment of the relatively inexperienced Abrahami and Cracknell is in keeping with the theatre's tradition of providing a "launching pad" for up-and-coming directors, many of whom have gone on to "illustrious careers". In addition to Sharrock, previous artistic directors have included Stephen Daldry, Laurence Boswell, David Farr and Mick Gordon.
The break with Gate tradition in appointing "two artistic directors at once" is, said the spokeswoman, "creating a totally new and exciting dynamic for us".
Established in 1979, the Gate was one of the first theatres to produce and collaborate with Eastern European theatre practitioners and opened the way for a rapid proliferation of international work on London's stages. Currently at the Gate, Anna Mackmin's production of Ibsen's Ghosts, newly translated by Amelia Bullmore, continues until 17 February and is followed by the London premiere of Naomi Wallace's Things of Dry Hours, which runs from 8 to 31 March (previews from 6 March) and is the final production programmed by Sharrock.
Abrahami and Cracknell join the Gate in March 2007 and will be programming the Gate's 2007 autumn season, due to be announced this spring.

In Drum Roll each player takes over the role of a circus owner in the early 1900s. Each player moves around Europe hiring performers and giving shows.
There are five main categories of performers: the Tamers, the Acrobats, the Bizarre, the Magicians, and the Jugglers. Each of them have different demands the player must fulfill in order to give their best performance.
The requirements, which vary between performers, are Rehearsal, Equipment, Supplies, Costumes, and Promotion. There are three levels of performances that each performer can end up doing in a show: a poor one, a good one, and an outstanding one. The higher the level of performance, the more requirements each performer will have to fulfill in order to achieve it.
The better the performance, the more each player can get out of it. When performers do outstanding performances, the player must choose between getting the maximum amount of benefit out of them, or getting the Prestige Points they are offering. There are also other ways to improve a circus such as trailers, investments, and personnel that will help your performers do their best.

That mallet's Kentucky Waterfall has all the power! I love the Rainbow Brite look of Nora. Go-Rama has awesomeness written all over it
the mullet mallet. ha!
I imagine the mallet sounding like Fuzzy Lumpkins
Ah wordplay and action-adeventure. Is there no better combination?
I can totally imagine the mallet spouting stereotypical 90's slang.
The might of that hammer's mullet is more than enough to stop a giant rock monster. O.O
Yeah, Nora? I don't think in the heat of battle is the best time to be making finishing touches.
Mullet Mallet looks like fun. The Slaminals are such a cool concept. I could so see life-size talking versions on a toyshelf.

It must be! haha yeah our lab who's supposed to be a water dog hates anything to do with rain, baths, pools or mud puddles but is perfectly content to jump in a dirty river or sewage pipe. Our blue heeler mix adores water and has no problems with baths! I have a question for you: does yours eat EVERYTHING and ANYTHING in its path?
No, but he used to chew on everything until we got him massive bones to chew on.

One of the great jazz books of all time. All the interviews are done by jazz drummer Arthur Taylor, and he pulls no punches with his subjects. Great reading, specifically regarding the racially charged 1960s and jazz's role in the struggle. Read full review

Op/Tech Snoot Boot Black Large (3.6" Diameter - 9" long) Lens Pouch
These are no ordinary lens pouches. No longer do lenses have to be put in a square pouch-the SNOOT BOOT is cylindrical just like a lens. The wide-mouth opening makes it easy to retrieve a lens while the drawstring closure secures it tightly with a spring lock. The SNOOT BOOT can be attached to a belt or a D-ring of a photo vest so that it's always available.

At the recent Genesys 2015 G-Force, I saw a futuristic demo in which pressing a button on a broken fridge automatically connected a person to a live agent to report an issue.
Did Cisco Solve the WebRTC Video Codec Problem?
In advance of next week's IETF meeting in Vancouver, this morning Cisco made a rather stunning announcement: To drive adoption of WebRTC around H.264 as the standard video codec, it would not only release an open source module that any developer can use (including its competitors), but it would also commit to paying the royalty fees to MPEG-LA so that browser vendors wouldn't have to pay it themselves.
First, a bit of history. For all the hype around WebRTC the primary sticking point limiting its usefulness is the lack of a common video codec. Google and Mozilla have rallied around Google's royalty-free VP8, while Microsoft and Apple have yet to commit to supporting VP8 in Internet Explorer and Safari (not surprising given the competitive dynamic between Apple, Microsoft and Google). And since Microsoft and Apple don't embed H.264 codecs in their browsers due to the cost of licensing tens of millions of H.264 clients, current WebRTC-based applications only work in Chrome and Firefox. Using them in IE or Safari requires the user to download and install a plug-in, defeating the promise of WebRTC providing a ubiquitous voice, video, and content sharing capability across all browsers without the need for users to manage plug-ins.
VP8 has several other limiting factors. First, the video conferencing industry has largely settled on H.264 for end-points and video software. And, most mobile devices contain hardware optimized for H.264. Thus using VP8 in WebRTC means the need for transcoding back to H.264-based video systems, or lower battery life and higher processor requirements to support VP8-based video conferencing on mobile devices. Finally, VP8 has been under patent infringement assault from Nokia, which has already filed three lawsuits challenging Google's ownership of VP8 (follow the Foss Patents Blog for details). While Google has successful fought off Nokia challenges so far, there still exists the risk that Nokia wins a pending challenge and VP8 is no longer royalty-free.
So Cisco is in effect saying "we'll pay the licensing fee and give away the codec" as a means to overcome Apple and Microsoft reluctances to support VP8, and to enable WebRTC applications that easily integrate with existing video systems and can run on H.264-optimized hardware. With Mozilla already agreeing to implement Cisco's H.264 module the question is now "what will Apple, Google, and Microsoft do?" That remains to be seen. For Cisco's gamble to pay off, they will have to embrace Cisco's open source module and embed it into their browsers. But again, competitive dynamics often rule the day. For Google to accept H.264 means making its own codec irrelevant. Microsoft and Cisco are chief competitors in the unified communications space – will Microsoft embrace Cisco's approach or could it copy Cisco and offer its own H.264 module with it too paying the license fees (and would its H.264 implementation be compatible with Cisco's?) While these scenarios will play out over the next few months, Cisco has given WebRTC momentum a tremendous shove forward. The next move is in the hands of Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

In his directorial debut, actor Adrian Grenier questions the nature of fatherhood and the meaning of family history as he embarks on a personal quest to become reacquainted with his estranged father. After interviewing a wide array of fathers and sons – from strangers he meets outside of Yankee Stadium, to past and present suitors of his mother Karesse – Adrian decides he should meet with his biological father, whom he's convinced is a man named John who lives in Lancaster, OH. Following a series of sometimes-awkward phone calls, John finally agrees to meet Adrian for the first time in 18 years at the Ohio home of John's parents, and the two head off in a cramped boat for a private, heart-to-heart talk. The discussion brings father and son closer together, and sheds light on why John and Karesse separated after Adrian was born. With a newfound sense of self, and after talking again with his mother about the circumstances that led to the couple's estrangement, Adrian reunites with his father one more time – in dramatic fashion.

The change that blows in here will be a very chilly one! Most of us will think it feels like winter because of the temps we have been experiencing. We are now becoming more and more acclimated to these warmer temps... so this chill will really smack us in the face!
As the night rolls on and the weekend begins I am thinking we could see some showers or even a thundershower. Watches have been posted for the line of storms. I think that it will lose some of its strength by the time it arrives in our region.
Once this line blows through we'll see temps drop like a rock!
The blue lines above indicate areas where severe thunderstorm watch boxes are located. The severe weather threat is certainly worth watching, but I am thinking and hoping it might run out of steam around here. Though a few good ones could sneak on through.
RPM is still spitting out some warm temps at the beginning of Saturday.
It's also keeping some pretty cool temps in the region during the afternoon and evening hours.
Next week has some issues! Once again... several waves of showers and storms could be coming our way! I'll update this more on Monday. I would update this weekend... but I HAVE NO INTERNET AT HOME! I now remember what my life was like as a kid when all I could do is play the, what we all called, "Regular" Nintendo! Hopefully, I will be back online soon.

The Obama administration said Friday it will resume a "limited schedule" of public tours of the White House in November, after shutting out the public for months, ostensibly due to budget cuts.
The White House said it was "pleased" to announce the resumption of tours of the residence starting Nov. 5, and the opening of its gardens the weekend of Oct. 26-27.
"Members of the public interested in scheduling a tour of the East Wing and Executive Residence should contact their member of Congress," the statement said.
The administration ended public tours of the White House in March, saying the "sequester" budget cuts forced it to redeploy Secret Service agents for other functions instead of monitoring the tours. Some lawmakers said the move was spiteful, due to the president's displeasure with Congress over failing to reach a more comprehensive budget agreement.
Tour tickets are a much sought-after item in congressional offices.
With the sequester cuts still in place, White House officials didn't say why they are reopening the residence for tours. Mr. Obama just reached a deal with Congress on Wednesday to reopen the government after a 16-day shutdown.
For a tour of the gardens and grounds on Oct. 26-27, members of the public can obtain a free, timed tickets at the Ellipse Visitor Pavilion at 15th and E Streets on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 7:30 a.m. Tickets will be distributed — one ticket per person (including small children) — on a first-come, first-served basis.
Visitors can see the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden and South Lawn of the White House. Additionally, first lady Michelle Obama's White House Kitchen Garden will be accessible to guests.

I have been keeping my WEL share for quiet some time, and hoping I can recover my losses back. But seems it is getting worse ... But the last few days, I decided to share all my WEL shares with big losses ... I lost tens of thousands of $$$ ... Too bad ... My big mistakes and lesson learn ... I allowed myself to be fooled by this one pumper "coffintrader", that because of his pump of article published about WEL that I bought on this stocks ... I believed and rely too much of all the information he provided ... But I accept my fault because I did not really do my DD and who knows that this will be the end result of the SP of WEL ...
This will be my last post on this WEL SH forum ... I hope everyone will be able to recover your big losses ...
