Happy Feet (Thehypercutter style) Cast Remastered

A recast for this from my old account.

“Son of Mr. and Mrs. Gallard, little sweet boy Augustus has a big problem: he can't sing a single note. In a world where everyone needs a heart song to attract a soul mate, Augustus feels he doesn't belong there. Our hero Augustus is the worst singer in the world, but he can tap dance brilliantly.”

“Augustus Aquato (Armin Shimerman) the psychic, now called the Master of Tap, has an unusual problem: Raz, his son, is reluctant to dance. Raz runs away from home and encounters the Luigi (Charles Martinet)--a human that can fly. Poor Augustus can't compete with Raz’s unusual new role model. But, when the world is shaken by powerful forces, Raz gets a chance to see his father's true colors as Augustus gathers all characters great and small to set things right again.”

Ko će naslijediti Angelu Merkel?

Kršćansko-demokratska unija njemačke kancelarke Angele Merkel (CDU) ukupno 50 godina vlada federalnom republikom starom 71 godinu. Kada ona odstupi na jesen, nakon 16 godina na ovoj poziciji, sigurno je pretpostaviti da će je naslijediti neki drugi CDU-ovac. Ko će to biti?

Josef Joffe

U narednih nekoliko sedmica, CDU će održati svoju 33. stranačku konvenciju i izabrati novog lidera. Ko god to bude, bit će vjerovatni kandidat CDU-a za kancelara kada Merkel odstupi, a gotovo je sigurno da će CDU biti u vrhu na općim izborima narednog septembra, kada će zauzeti vodeću poziciju u formiranju naredne vlade.

Trojica muškaraca koji se natječu za vrh ove stranke nisu poznati vani. Prvi (po abecedi) je Armin Laschet, ministar predsjednik Sjeverne Rajne-Vestfalije, dugogodišnji marljivi član stranke čija karizma nije na nivou njegovih kompetencija.

Sljedeći je Friedrich Merz, koji je predvodio vijeće CDU-a u Bundestagu prije dvije decenije dok ga nije izgurala Merkel dok se pripremala za utrku do vrha. Nakon što je otišao u privatni sektor i zaradio mnogo novca, on se ponovo želi vratiti.

Treći je Norbert Röttgen, predsjednik komiteta za vanjsku politiku u Bundestagu. On je na kratko bio na poziciji ministra za okoliš s Merkel na čelu dok ona nije otpustila svog momka svijetle kose.

Ko je Merkelin prećutni favorit?

Laschet je Merkelin prećutni favorit, ako ni zbog čeg drugog onda zato što druga dvojica imaju neizmirenih računa sa “Mutti” (mamom), čiji je put do moći posut ne tako neopoklebljivim rivalima. Zbog pandemije korona virusa, ne znamo još kada i kako će CDU birati novog lidera. Ali bilo da se susretne fizički ili virtualno, ova stranka će ovaj mjesec odlučiti o datumu konvencije sredinom januara.

Nema pravog favorita. Merz je dobio 27% podrške na nedavnoj anketi, ali mu popularnost opada. Röttgen je imao 16% i uživa u malom porastu. Laschet zaostaje za obojicom, a 21 posto ispitanika koji su zaokružili „nijedan od ponuđenih“ pojačavaju nesigurnost.

Očigledno pitanje je za šta se svaki od kandidata zalaže. Ali to nije lako odgovoriti u tako dosadno i možda na sreću, centrističkom političkom sistemu. Njemačka krajnja desnica i krajnja ljevica zajedno imaju svega 20-tak posto ispitanika na anketama. Većina glasača bira velike stranke (iznad svega CDU), koje djeluju kao supermarketi, nudeći ponešto za svakoga, bez iznenađenja i remećenja.

Tokom prve polovine 20. stoljeća – od cara Wilhelm II do Führera – Njemačka je bila „najzanimljivija“ država na svijetu. Unutra je bila politički vulkan i smrtonosna prijetnja za susjedne nacije. Danas, kao rezultat dva katastrofalna svjetska rata, agresivna je kao ljenjivac, a politike joj variraju između stabilnih i pouzdanih.

Tako dakle natjecanje ljepote u CDU nije ni slično urnenbesnim primarnim izborima Demokratske stranke u SAD-u ove godine, gdje su senari Bernie Sanders iz Vermonta i Elizabeth Warren iz Massachusettsa slijedili kurs oštre ljevice. Njemačka nema ni Donalda Trumpa na sceni. Politika ove države je „kontinuitet  über alles.”

Stručnjak za vanjsku politiku

Laschet se takmiči na osnovu iskustva ministra-predsjednika najmnogoljudnije od njemačkih 16 država – što je prednost koja nedostaje Merzu i Röttgenu. Njegove prećutne poruke su na nivou „još četiri godine merkelizma“: bez iznenadnih poteza u domaćoj i vanjskoj politici.

U međuvremenu, Merz, koji je započeo kampanju držeći desnu stranu CDU stola (više atlanticizma i ekonomije slobodnog tržišta), pažljivo balansira svoj ritam. Ni on ne želi „nikakva puknuća“, ali isto tako vjeruje da je Njemačka „previše usporila“. Pa hajdemo onda imati i jare i pare.

Röttgen, najmlađi od trojice, zvuči kao najhrabriji. Hvaleći se svojim iskustvom stručnjaka za vanjsku politiku, on želi biti oštriji prema Rusiji i Kini nego druga dvojica. Ali pod njegovim vođstvom ne bi bilo „ ni potpunog nastavka niti prekida“ sa Merkelinom erom.

Stoga će stabilnost i dalje biti glavna značajka njemačke politike. Nema desničarske nepodobne ličnosti kakva je francuska Marine Le Pen ili talijanski Matteo Salvini, niti ima radikalnih ljevičara kao što je britanski Jeremy Corbyn, bivši lider Laburističke stranke. Dok SAD i Velika Britanija imaju dvostranačke vlade, Njemačka, kao i većina kontinentalne Evrope, upravlja kroz multistranačke koalicije koje radikalno ne mijenjaju stavove sa svakim izborima.

Balans moći

U svakom slučaju, ko god pobijedi na utrci u CDU u januaru i postane kancelar u septembru morat će vladati u tandemu ili čak u trojci. Zbližene pandemijom, koja je favorizirala sile koje jesu na vlasti, CDU i njena bavarska sestrinska stranka, Kršćanska socijalna unija (CSU) će vjerovatno osigurati 35 posto glasova. Malo ulijevo, Zeleni bi mogli dobiti 20 posto glasova, što bi ih činilo prirodnim koalicionim partnerom za CDU/CSU.

Ovaj aranžman balansa moći obećava kontinuitet, što nije posebno uzbudljivo. Mi u medijima bismo uskoro mogli sjetno gledati na Trumpa, koji je i pored svih svojih mana, bio najzabavniji lider 21. stoljeća. Ali u ova teška vremena, kada COVID-19 još nije iskorijenjen, a ekonomija još tone, spori centrizam nije najgori ishod za evropsku vlast.

Osim tri deklarisana takmičara u CDU, postoje još dvojica koja umjesto da idu konvencionalnim putem – prvo predsjednik pa onda kandidat za kancelara, igraju igru čekanja. Možda će stranci dosaditi trio Laschet, Merz i Röttgen, i možda će željeti nekog ko je svakodnevno javnosti pred očima. Jedan je ministar zdravstva Jens Spahm, marljivi političar koji je, zahvaljujući pandemiji, stalno u vijestima. Drugi je lider CSU-a, Markus Söder, iznimno ambiciozan koji neumorno radi intervjue i dijaloške emisije. Ali nijedan od ovih pet kandidata ne bi pokrenuo revolt protiv Mutti i njenog naslijeđa. Naredni njemački kancelar, sigurno je predvidjeti, će biti Merkel bez Angele.

Stavovi izraženi u ovom tekstu autorovi su i ne odražavaju nužno uredničku politiku Al Jazeere.

As stated by Armin van Buuren, the album is about thinking in possibilities rather than definition, thinking about what music could be instead of what it should be. “Every song I make teaches me something new, and the next song is always a result of all my previous records, the new things I learned and the people I met”, the world-renowned DJ and producer says in the foreword of his album. “Over the years, this process - and especially the fun of creating - became more and more important to me. It’s a journey that gives me meaning and helps me learn more about my personal interests rather than focus on the recognition I get for the outcome. That’s the big difference between who I am today and who I was a few years ago. 'BALANCE' is a new chapter in my book of life, the result of venturing into known and unknown territories while finding the balance in between. This creative journey gives me the energy to do what I do, to keep going. I don’t want to think about what music should be. I want to think about what music could be." TRACKLIST Side 1 1.

Karel Glastra van Loon: De passievrucht

Wat zou je doen als je als een 45-jarige man met een zoon van dertien en een dode vriendin hoort van de dokter dat je al je hele leven onvruchtbaar bent? Daar gaat dit boek, de passievrucht, nou over.  Ik vind dit een dramatisch boek, waarin veel ingegrepen wordt op het verleden: Toen het leven nog zo mooi was.

Het leven van Armin Minderhout wordt na een vruchtbaarheidstest in het ziekenhuis met zijn vriendin Ellen compleet over hoop gegooid. Hij blijkt namelijk al zijn hele leven een afwijking te hebben, waardoor hij onvruchtbaar is.  Armin raakt hierdoor compleet in de war.  Zijn vriendin Ellen wil namelijk dol graag zwanger van hem worden, maar dit is niet het ergste. Want na dertien jaar blijkt hij niet de vader van zijn ‘zoon’ te zijn, maar iemand anders. Alles waar hij in geloofde blijkt een grote leugen te zijn. Armin wilde vanaf die dag maar één ding: te weten komen wie de biologische vader van Bo is. Dit wordt bemoeilijkt doordat Bo’s moeder, Monika, al tien jaar lang dood is. Armin kan het dus niet zomaar achterhalen en weet zich geen raad. Hij vraagt aan Ellen, die destijds Monika’s beste vriendin was, om raad. Die kan hem helaas niet verder helpen. Armin besluit zijn ontdekking voor Bo te verzwijgen en hem in het ‘waan’ te laten dat hij zijn vader is. Armin gaat op onderzoek uit en graaft in het verleden van zijn overleden vriendin. Er borrelen altijd steeds meer vragen op bij Armin, die vragen maken hem dan soms gek, waardoor Armin zich soms eigenaardig gaat gedragen, vooral tegen zijn vriendin. Er onstaat vaak ruzie tussen die twee en ook begint Armin teveel te drinken in de kroeg. Ondanks alles vergeet Armin zijn doel niet om de vader van Bo te vinden. Hij gaat als eerste naar Monika’s ex, Robbert Hubeek toe, om de vragen of hij hem verder kan helpen met zijn zoektocht en of hij eventueel Bo’s vader zou kunnen zijn. Maar Robbert blijkt een rare man te zijn, die allemaal rare verzonnen seksuele verhalen vertelt tussen zichzelf en Monika. Dit brengt Armin nog meer in de war. Ergens weet hij dat dit niet klopt. Hij vertelt dit aan zijn beste vriend Dees. Dees brengt hem op het idee wie de volgende mogelijke ‘dader’ van Bo kon zijn: De huisarts van Monika. Dees had Armin wijs gemaakt dat dokters vaak intieme relaties hebben met patiënten. Armin schraapt dus al zijn moed bij elkaar en ondervraagt de dokter, maar zoals je kunt verwachten ontkent de dokter dat hij de vader van Bo is (wat ook zo is). Deze gesprek eindigde in een ruzie tussen Armin en de dokter en Armin liep woedend de dokterspraktijk uit, maar hij is er wel van overtuigd dat de dokter geen intieme relatie gehad heeft met Monika. Als laatste bezoekt Armin Niko Neerinckk, een oud-collega van Monika. Met een smoes weet hij zich binnen te praten bij de vrouw van Niko en raakt aan de praat met haar. Hij komt onder andere te weten dat de zoon van Niko en zijn vrouw ook Bo heet en wanneer de vrouw hem foto’s laat zien van haar kinderen, ziet hij een foto van Monika in het foto-album. Armin is ervan overtuigt dat Niko de vader van zijn Bo is en wil hem daarmee confronteren, maar Ellen weet hem te overtuigen dit niet te doen. Uiteindelijk komt Armin doormiddel van een brief te weten dat zijn vader eigenlijk de vader is van Bo en dat hij en Bo eigenlijk halfbroers zijn.

Dit boek is geschreven in de ik-vorm. Er wordt in het verhaal veel ingegrepen op flashbacks wat het lezen interessant voor me maakte. Ook wordt gewone Amsterdamse spreektaal gebruikt in het boek wat ook vlot las. Wat mij als eerste opviel aan het boek is dat er een aantal seksscénes heel gedetailleerd worden beschreven. En ook speelt overspel een grote rol in het verhaal.  Ellen ging namelijk toen Monika leefde weleens vreemd met Armin en  uiteindelijk is Monika vreemdgegaan met Armin’s vader. Wat mij ook opviel was dat het  stadsleven in Amsterdam ook heel goed voorkwam in het verhaal en je de situaties makkelijk kan herkennen, zoals ‘De tram schokt en schudt opnieuw hevig. In de bocht van de spui verloorze bijna haar evenwicht. Met één hand pakt ze mijn jas vast en trekt zichzelf in balans.’ Dit is heel kenmerkend als je in Amsterdam op een drukke dag de tram neemt. Verder  vind ik dat je wijze levenslessen uit het boek kunt halen. Zo moet je als individu niet helemaal meegesleept worden door je omstandigheden. In tegenstelling tot wat de hoofdpersoon van dit verhaal wel deed. Ook kan ik eruit trekken dat overspel niet niet goed is voor de mens.  Zoals je uit dit verhaal kunt halen is een mensenlevens verwoest door de overspel die is gepleegd door een vrouw.

Armin, How would you describe your style? Like how you dress or do your hair?

“My sister calls me ‘bohemian’. I guess that’s what the kids are calling it now. *chuckles* Relaxed, comfortable, free-flowing? *shrugs* I have a penchant for darker colors.”

“My hair? Can it be considered a style if I don’t style it? I got it dreaded when I was in high school. It’s either up or it’s down.”

[cavernsofdarkness]

Armin, Are you an animal person? If so, what kind of animals?

“I’ve never had a pet, but I’d like to think I’m an animal person. I value and respect nature and life in all forms. If I were to get a pet now...probably a cat.”

Armin, Coffee or tea?

“Tea, for sure. Though I’ve tried coffee and I don’t mind it.”

[cavernsofdarkness]

Armin, Cold weather or warm weather?

“That’s tricky. I have to say I’m torn, if I’m honest. I’ve lived in England all my life, I’m right used to the cold. With warmth comes the breath of new life, nature blooms and sitting in the forest is much easier. Mmm…the answer to your question is, I’m partial to the warmth. But, I’d be remiss if I didn’t reflect on the beauty that comes with nature’s cycles. The cold brings adaptation and preservation; it reminds us that, with life, comes death.“
