Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:02:14 PDT
Well, kinda: MarketWatch: Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said its Sam's Club wholesale club chain is limiting the sale of some rice to four bags per member visit because of what it described as "supply and demand trends." Jasmine, basmati and long-grain white rices will be subject to those purchase restrictions, as long as they are allowed by law, in the 594 clubs across the U.S., said Sam's Club spokeswoman Kristy Reed. New Mexico and Idaho are the only two states that forbid such practice, she said.

Ha Noi - World cheer bard�s birthday

Ha Noi, world cheer bard�s birthday

(22-04-2008)

Bloody good show: A scene from the play Macbeth by artists from the Youth Theatre. � VNS File Photo

HA NOI � Ha Noi�s Youth Theatre will join in a worldwide celebration tomorrow of William Shakespeare�s 444th birthday with a performance of an abridged version of the Bard�s famous Scottish play, Macbeth.

The international event, entitled Shakespeare 24, is an extraordinary worldwide day of performance organised by the Shakespeare School Festival in London.

The festival is a unique arts education initiative which enables young people to perform abridged productions of Shakespeare�s most famous plays in their local professional theatres.

Kicking off in New Zealand and ending 24 hours later in Hawaii, 65 youth theatres and school groups from 35 countries will stage abridged plays at 7pm in their respective time zones on Wednesday, April 23, Shakespeare�s birthday.

From Mexico to Malawi, Russia to Rio, the cultural baton will be passed around the world in a day.

In England, the city of Liverpool, 2008�s "Capital of Culture," is a Shakespear 24 event partner and will broadcast highlights of the performances.

Receiving the invitation from the organising board last year, Ha Noi�s Youth Theatre artists have a rare opportunity to revive a classic play.

Macbeth, written by Shakespeare in 1606-07, is a story of murderous ambition set in 11th century Scotland.

The Youth Theatre production tomorrow is based on the production staged by veteran director Le Hung in 2002 and given 68 performanes, including at festivals in Beijing and Shanghai in 2003 and 2005, said the theatre�s deputy director, Truong Nhuan.

The production was enthusiastically received in China, Nhuan said, especially due to the Asian theatrical motifs used in the scene depicting the death of Macbeth�s wife.

"The play is very Vietnamese in character because director Le Hung used dances from Vietnamese tuong (classical opera)," Nhuan said.

In the play�s title role, actor Anh Tu said, "I�m very enthusiastic to play Macbeth as I have played in many other classic plays from around the world and Viet Nam. I am very proud to play this role and I try to express the character of Macbeth, who is very talented but overly ambitious. I like the cause and effect of the play." � VNS
