Foreign Actors: MEAA absent as producers wax lyrical (well sort of) by: Lyn Norfor
Screen Hub Tuesday 15 November, 2011
With a panel of producers, an international sales agent and a conspicuously absent Media Arts and Entertainment Alliance (MEAA) president, this session titled Its All Foreign to Me: Casting across Borders was destined to be a slagfest. Owen Johnston, Productive Executive, SPAA, outlines the history of Australian films importing foreign actors and MEAA having an equally long history in opposing them. The first government intervention was triggered when Meryl Streep was cast in Evil Angels and, as a result, a set of guidelines was drawn up and agreed to by SPAA and MEAA. In 2009, the federal government began a review and has been in consultation with the industry and the union for the past two years. Johnston says that, while SPAA has some grievances with the new proposed guidelines, overall they feel the guidelines have the potential to increase the production level in the industry. In the absence of a MEAA representative, Johnston calmly informs the audience that MEAA has many objections and that the membership of MEAA has voted to take industrial action. Johnston sums up the current state of play, from SPAAs point of view, as (i) the new guidelines not yet promulgated; (ii) the union has voted in favour of industrial action against producers; (iii) SPAA sees this is as a dispute between MEAA and the government, rather than SPAA; (iv) MEAA should remove the guidelines from the Australian Feature Film Agreement (AFFA); (v) Government, rather than the union, should decide eligibility for a working visa; (vi) Government needs to show strong leadership on this issue; (vii) promulgate the guidelines for a trial period of three years followed by an audit. Johnstons mild manner and reasoned presentation shows why he has been one of the chief negotiators for SPAA on this issue. The same cannot be said of other panel and audience members as will be more than demonstrated later in the proceedings of this highly charged session. So stay tuned. Next up on the block is the experienced and very reasonable producer Marion McGowan who has experience with foreign actors on Australian productions such as Rage in Placid Lake and co-productions such as . She focuses on the issue of using foreign actors in Australian films and says that neither Ben Lee or Rose Byrne, both in the early stages of their career in Rage in Placid Lake, had a high enough marquee value at the time of the film to enable sufficient finance to be raised. McGowan brought in Miranda Richardson and Clare Danes to obtain the minimum guarantee from international sales agents to complete the financing. She stresses that the most critical aspect in casting is the marquee value of the actor, rather than their foreign-ness, and it is an actors marquee value that allows sales agents to project their sales estimates. Rosemary Bright, producer of In the Winter Dark, Clubland and The Sapphires, agrees with McGowan. Blight recounts when she first brought Brenda Blethwyn to Australia for In the Winter Dark, she was very naïve and cant even remember if they went through the formal approval process. When Blethwyn was cast in Clubland, Blight says the character she played was an English character and justified her casting even though the film had just under the required 30 percent of foreign investment. By the time she was financing The Sapphires, Blight reminds us that the global film finance market had changed and casting foreign actors was the only way to finance her film. With a fully indigenous cast, and Deborah Mailman in her first lead role in a feature film, there was no way we could raise the money even with our very close relationship with our UK distributor. Blight chose to cast Chris ODowd, an Irish actor in the lead role with American Tory Kittles as a supporting actor. Chris definitely triggered the finance, says Blight, particularly after the huge worldwide box office success of Bridesmaids . Bligh reports that MEAA were very helpful because of the cultural significance the project. With Antony I Ginnane, the departing president of SPAA, the next panel member to speak, the gloves came off. Ginnane uses the ruse of a telling a fairy story to lash out at the union hooligans at MEAA and the less-than-civil civil servants responsible for administering the guidelines. He claims that no other art form has the level of intervention by government let alone a union. He is adamant that MEAA has no right to govern the process of admitting foreign actors. Ginnanes colourful vitriol is tempered by Johnston who himself intervenes to comment that obviously he will not be taking Ginnane to any negotiations. Ginnane then reveals the most recent source of his dispute with MEAA. The low budget feature he is producing, Last Dance with first time director David Pulbrook, had the work visa for lead actor Gena Rowlands cancelled two weeks before the film went into production. A gasp of horror rippled through the room of producers, after which Miller drops in a memorable line well, that must have been a real turd in the punchbowl. Im sure I wasnt the only audience member to tuck that one in the memory bank for future use. Shaun Miller, the session moderator, deftly throws the spotlight to Carey Fitzgerald, Managing Director, Highpoint Media group UK and the sales agents for Last Dance. Fitzgerald says that all the projections for Last Dance were based on marquee factor of Gena Rowlands, and with Rowlands out of the picture Highpoint can no longer provide the same level of sales guarantee. She then raises an even more horrifying repercussion if this is seen as a precedent by international distributors and agents, then no-one will want to be involved in Australian films. Fitzgerald hammers home the message that distributors will not put up money for films without a recognizable, known actor. Vincent Sheehan, a well-known Australian producer who brought in Willem Defoe for his most recent film The Hunter, contributes his more reasonable experience with MEAA. He also reminds the audience that bringing in a foreign actor is not only about the sales figures, its also about the integrity of the film. In the case of The Hunter, the character played by Defoe was a foreign stranger coming in and Sheehan notes that Willem was the way in for international audiences into what was a very Australian film. Just in case the session was becoming too balanced again, Daniel Scharf announces he is from the extreme Scharf-Shteinman faction and supports the proposal of one lead and one supporting foreign actor for films of any budget level, after which he agrees with the proposed guidelines. Both McGowan and Blight counter by saying they believe producers have to negotiate with MEAA as we need Australian talent as much as we need foreign talent. McGowan has nearly the last word by saying it is a small industry here, we all need each other and its important to work together. The session ended peacefully with audience members both amused and upset by the extreme views expressed by some producers.

Defining the ideal IT organization
Summary: The experience I've gleaned from workshops, assessments, and consulting activities with hundreds of major IT organizations bears out one fact: IT is still considered a cost center by its business counterparts in 70 percent of the Global 2000 companies.
The experience I've gleaned from workshops, assessments, and consulting activities with hundreds of major IT organizations bears out one fact: IT is still considered a cost center by its business counterparts in 70 percent of the Global 2000 companies. IT executives need to change this perception. CIOs must address infrastructure issues and market the IT organization to raise the enterprise's recognition of IT as a business partner.
I've compiled this list of the top issues facing CIOs that must be resolved before IT can be leveraged for business value and growth. It's no surprise to me and probably will be no surprise to you that almost half of the issues are directed toward the infrastructure. No wonder IT is still considered a cost center.
How do CIOs lead, educate, and partner with CEOs and the executive management team?
How can IT ask the right questions and jointly specify project requirements?
How do IT executives market and enhance their value to the enterprise?
How does IT prevent business units from throwing project requirements over the transom (often as solutions masquerading as requirements)?
How does IT stop purchasing technology for technology's sake and align itself with business objectives?
How can IT stop mistrust and develop credibility?
How can IT change the mindset that IT is for IT's sake into a customer-centric culture?
How does IT jointly develop business cases used to determine priority?
How does IT continue to do a good job of following orders and begin to change the culture to one that also has creative solutions?
How can IT get its business partners to communicate IT's value to the enterprise?
Traditional IT strategic planning is a yearly, typically static, and discrete process. It takes considerable time (often four to six months) to produce a large, static document that details projects and timetables from a technology vs. business viewpoint. How does IT change this process into one that is more tightly integrated with the business?
How can IT do a better job of aligning with the business?
How can IT nurture the staff to achieve exceptional productivity and job satisfaction?
How can IT do a better job of thinking strategically and being more proactive instead of being in a reactive mode in its production environment?
What are the minimum processes required to build the ideal IT organization?
How can IT maintain centralized control for standards, processes, and architectures?
How can IT improve communication, such as between applications development and infrastructure support?
When systems are being slam-dunked into production, how can IT ensure a smooth transition from development to production?
How can IT become more cost-efficient?
How does IT design an infrastructure that's a competitive advantage? What are the top issues/obstacles to overcome when building the proper infrastructure?
How does IT stop working in silos and start becoming a team with synergy?
How can IT change the perception that centralized IT is bureaucratic to a perception that it is adaptable?
How can IT change from related communication (isolated) to develop key relationships?
How does IT gain direct management of its own vendors, and not continue to have other customers of IT services manage its vendors?
How can IT build for efficiency and effectiveness and architect for growth and business alignment?
Pursuing the ideal IT environment
What is the definition of the ideal IT environment? These are a few of the characteristics:
A culture where honesty, mutual respect, and job satisfaction flourish
Executive managers educated and committed to the enterprise
Business goals and objectives completely aligned for success
Strategic decisions that accommodate a rapidly changing dynamic business environment
Common architecture (tools, standards, etc.)
Nurturing individuals instead of drowning individuals in a bureaucratic environment
To build a world-class IT organization, your organization has to be designed to exceed the enterprise's strategic goals while still nurturing individuals to achieve exceptional productivity and job satisfaction. This provides the enterprise with a vision that is meaningful to every individual. The more meaningful it becomes to the people involved, the harder they'll work to bring about success.
According to the CIO desk reference–Meta Group 2001 (subscription required), most IT organizations "have a cost center, 'just-keep-the-lights-on', service-utility mentality that maintains IT should be mostly transparent to the rest of the business. If things are going well, no one knows the IT organization is there. If things are going badly, it gets noticed."
Organizations in which IT is viewed as extremely critical to the business, according to the CIO desk reference, are those in which the CIO has realized that marketing the IT organization furthers the awareness of the value that IT adds to the business and helps ensure the CIO is a business partner.
The best way to achieve this partnership is by organizing IT to respond to the needs of individual business groups. This can only be done by establishing working relationships at individual and group levels with all business partners in which business teams, including IT as a "business," can work together. Enterprise infrastructure is the only IT project. Whether responsible for 10 percent or 90 percent of the tasks, IT is a member of a business team led by a business project champion. All projects require business unit champions and business project champions.
What makes a successful partnership
Remember that relationships, while strongly encouraged on an individual level, need to be understood on a group level. For example, if a particularly difficult partner has been unable to form a relationship with the technology staff, the technology department must recognize this and take steps to forge the right relationships. This requires senior technology managers to identify the sources of the relationship problem and actively work to correct them. Successful partnerships are based on:
Relationships that are continuously nurtured.
Relationships that are institutionalized.
Relationships that grow beyond individuals to departments.
Relationships that are viewed as value-add.
A partner's perspective that is anticipated at all times.
A partner that can answer a question before it is asked.
Success is based on:
Managing technology as a strategic asset rather than managing technology as a cost center by:
--Managing risks
--Managing expectations
--Business alignment
--Planning strategy vs. tactics
Partnering with the business and becoming part of the business rather than staying apart from the business by:
--Building relationships
--Creating business teams
--Presenting business cases
--Acknowledging business unit champions
--Building a track record
Building a culture based on shared values such as:
--Guiding principles
--Common culture
--Quality of life
Recognizing and communicating value to the enterprise by:
--Expressing IT's value to the enterprise
--Recognizing value
--Measuring value
--Communicating value
IT organizations need to sell to their business colleagues the idea that IT can and should be leveraged for business value and growth. Dedication requires an educated understanding. It's the CIO's responsibility to demonstrate the relationship between understanding strategic technology initiatives and the long-term success of the firm.

The book explores the interplay between law and politics, demonstrating how the jurists and ruling elite led a symbiotic existence that paradoxically allowed Islamic law to become uniquely independent of the "state."(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:24:15 -0400) No library descriptions found. |

How To Know Last Used Date & Time Of Any Apps In Windows 7/Vista
Posted March 9, 2009 – 6:20 pm in: Vista Tweaks, Windows 7Another useful tip to get full control on your Windows and installed applications. Generally, we can see installed date, file size and version of installed applications easily in Windows. But we can't view the last used (accessed) date and time of installed applications easily.
Last accessed data/time of any application will come in handy if you share your computer with family members or friends. By looking into last used date/time data you can clearly find out the usage of any program in your absence.
I used to use this tip during my Windows XP days since I had to share my computer with my friends. Recently I had to use this tip in Vista as well to solve some issues on one of my friends system. Finding out the last accessed date/time of installed programs is a bit different from XP. Anyway, it was not a tough job. If you want to find out too, don't stop reading.
As always, follow the procedure below to know find out the steps:
1. Type in appwiz.cpl in Start menu search box and hit enter to open Programs and Features window. You can also type programs and features in the Start menu search box to open the same.
2. By default, you will see the name of application, installed date, file size, and publisher of the program in the installed programs list. Here, you need to enable Last Used option to see the last accessed date/time of the application.
3. Right-click on Name/Publisher/File Size bar and select More to get Choose Details box.
4. In the opened Choose Details dialog box, locate the check box labeled Last Used On and check it.
5. Click Ok button and refresh the Programs and Features window to view the last used data/time of the installed programs.
6. You are done!

Recently the boys and I took two separate trips to Coney Island. One trip was to splash around with our little friend, Zaida.
And for the other trip we met Tess and family at the aquarium. The aquarium was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy last fall and it reopened recently. We were curious to see the reconstruction. And there were still so many buildings closed. :(
But…we enjoyed what we did see. :)
And…well…see…Tess can roll her tongue.
After the aquarium we walked down the boardwalk to get hotdogs at Nathan's. And it started to feel like I was the adult chaperone on a date.
oh these two…
And then Nora…oh the cute. SOOO cute.
We have not been to Coney Island much this summer…so it was great to finally get there. It's sort of a cheese-ball place…a little dirty and VERY odd…and we just love it. :)

Five British gastro inns
Michelin stars, celebrity chefs, chic bedrooms – enjoy a night at the pub. By Sophie Lam
Saturday 27 September 2008
The Star Inn at Harome, Yorkshire
The Star Inn is stellar in more ways than its name suggests, with a Michelin star and a host of awards including Inn of the Year and Gastropub of the Year.

The 14th-century inn also offers stylish rooms in an adjoining farm building and two self-contained thatched cottages.

Microsoft Delays Windows Update Services
"The company said the delay will allow developers to incorporate changes suggested by people who tested the product. Also, Microsoft developers are busy with a new Automatic Updates agent that will be incorporated into Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), a long-awaited revamp of Windows XP. The necessary integration of Automatic Updates into SP2, and required testing, in part contributed to the delay, according to the company."

[quote]The necessary integration of Automatic Updates into SP2[/quote] I sure hope there will be a way to turn it off.
Me too.
Windows update services is the rebrand of software update services... I find it a godsend when you have 6 servers (each with around 20 xp/2000 clients hanging off of them) Sure i hope the client part is configurable.. but in an office environment where the server administrator is'nt always on site to keep the clients up to date WUS/SUS is invaluble as part of the remote maintanence of a network. Just my £1.50 :) Godzilla."SBS 2003 ate my mouse!!"
Too bad, WUS was my last project before I ended school, it is such a good product, only a shame that we will have to wait so much longer for it... :(
The number of delayed Microsoft releases recently demonstrates the strain that must be going into creating Longhorn.

Well, you can still turn off automatic updates using SP2 RC2. So I imagine it isn't mandatory.I'm sure you can always disable the service etc...

Conservationist lost in tropics
Thursday 05 January 1995
Mr Lees, who had been filming on the island since December 14 and was due to return at the weekend, has not been seen since he walked into the forest around 4.30 pm last Saturday to take some final video footage and sound recordings.
His driver waited until 9pm before raising the alarm. The pair had driven out from Mr, Lees' hotel 15 kilometres away at Fort Dauphin .
Search parties have been out every day since Mr. Lees disappeared but have found no trace of him. The forest where he vanished is thick and inaccessible but he had visited the area twice before.
Charles Secrett, executive director of Friends of the Earth, said the likeliest explanation was that Mr. Lees, aged 46, had stumbled and concussed himself or broken an ankle and had been caught out by the rapid tropical nightfall.
"The forest there is so dense that shouting doesn't do any good. You could be 50 yards away from people and they wouldn't hear you. It's also very easy to get disorientated because of the lack of reference points like a landscape horizon."
Mr. Secrett said Mr. Lees had water on him but no food or survival equipment. The island has no dangerous predators and the terrain is flat.
He has been campaigns director of FoE since 1990 and has worked for it both as an unpaid volunteer and a member of staff since the late 1970s. He has been behind several of FoE's most successful campaigns, notably over water purity and beach cleanliness.
Chris Orengo, his girlfriend, was due to arrive on the island today with Jonathan Kaplan, a researcher-photographer who knows Madagascar well. The British embassy has also sent a senior official to Fort Dauphin to co-ordinate searches by police and localvillagers.
Mr Secrett said Mr. Lees would be able to survive for several days with just water. "He hasn't got tremendous experience in rainforest areas but he is a resourceful bloke so we are quietly hopeful that things are going to turn out well."
The Foreign Office said everything possible was being done.

The portrait format is a great choice and I like the natural meandering lines of the countryside contrasting with the stark blocky-ness of the city. Some good layered composition Brian. -
Eoin Sweeney
Like the framing here Brian, the contrast between industrialism and peacefulness is captivating. Nicely done! -
Unni Williams

One of the most important but least often used tools of lean manufacturing is Standardized Work(1,2). Quite simply, the principles of lean and flow production do not work well when everyone is allowed to choose the method or sequence in which to do the job; quality suffers, and productivity drops(1).
Standardized work is a detailed, documented and visual system by which associates develop and follow a series of predefined process steps. An important part are the Standardized Work Instructions which represent the current best practices for workers to follow in the completion of their jobs. They are designed to minimize process variation introduced by the worker. This reduces waste, eases problem solving and enhances productivity within a particular job or set of jobs(1). Visual Work Instructions, provide a convenient way for supervisors to check the operators' actions and add discipline to the culture(3).
People are creatures of habit and masters of adaptation.(6) While adapting operators develop 'best practices' that are used to make production more efficient and hopefully easier. Standardized Work ensures that these 'best practices' are not lost over time and are available to set the standard for all employees (new and old) to live by.(5) In short, Standardized Work Instructions provide corporate memory of best practices.(3)
The key to Standardized Work is not having a document saying this is what the standard process is; the key is having a document that is actually used. For that reason it is essential that the work instructions are easy to use (visible and as simple as possible) and easy to update (to avoid the common problem of the process changing and the work instructions losing touch with what is actually done).
