My Fair Lady was simply George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences spectacular in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of a sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue. Pygmalion is named after the Cypriot King from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own creation: an ivory statue called ‘Galatea’. When he fell in love with Galatea, the Goddess Aphrodite brought the statue to life and Pygmalion married her. As well as reflecting Shaw’s feminist views, Pygmalion provides a commentary on the class system which may not be so irrelevant today! Henry Higgins believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a Duchess at ease in ‘polite’ society by changing the way she speaks. However, his ‘creation’ has a mind of her own and a battle of wills begins that challenges them both in unexpected ways. my By the time Lerner and Leowe’s musical adaptation of Pygmalion, My Fair Lady, ended its New York run in 1962, it had run six and a half years and for 2,717 performances, more than any other previous musical in stage history. In London, the show had a five and a half year run of 2,281 performances with New York’s fair original cast members, Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews and Stanley Holloway.

  • FROM POTHOLES to POLICY: How Invercargill City Council Informs Itself Of, and Has Regard To, the Views of All of Its Communities
    FROM POTHOLES TO POLICY: How Invercargill City Council informs itself of, and has regard to, the views of all of its communities Janette Malcolm School of Geography, E nvironment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, ew Zealand Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of D evelopment Studies D egree JULY 2008 Abstract In the 1990s, governments in the Western world were seeking solutions to the economic and social dysfunction resulting from a decade of pure neo-liberal policies. Increased inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the promotion of individualism at the expense of community and citizens feeling alienated from government had become critical problems, nowhere more so than in New Zealand. A solution that has been adopted is to reconnect government at all levels with citizens and the civic sector. The good governance agenda proposed increased transparency and accountability of government to citizens, and a new role for citizens as participants and partners. It became the foundation for a fundamental reform of local government in New Zealand, resulting in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the acquisition of a right to participate does not necessarily lead to knowledge of that right and the capacity to exercise it on the part of citizens: nor the willingness to allow it on the part of government. There are also more general questions about the exercise of power, about representation and about whose voices are heard. This thesis, through a case study of Invercargill City Council, a local government authority in Southland, New Zealand, examines these issues relating to citizen participation and the extent to which the Council has been able to create an environment and processes that enable all of its communities to participate.

  • Opportunities for Private Jets at Invercargill Airport
    OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE JETS AT INVERCARGILL AIRPORT We believe Invercargill Airport has the capacity, infrastructure, location and determination to be the Airport of choice for private jet operations in the South. Invercargill Airport has New Zealand’s third longest runway and has one of the highest airport availabilies in New Zealand. The airport is a modern facility (upgraded in June 2016) which is well supported by the excellent aviation infrastructure, training facilities, and offers space to park private jets of all sizes. Aviation Environment Southland has one of the largest low traffic airspace in New Zealand, with Air Traffic Control provided at Invercargill Airport. Southland is blessed with stunning scenery. In flying terms, this translates to a variety of terrain, ranging from gently rolling pasture and hill country to rugged coastlines, alpine lakes, snow-capped mountains and complex alpine terrain. The landscape is accompanied by a wide range of weather conditions, from beautiful clear sunny days in summer and winter, to cold, blustery conditions. In almost all conditions Invercargill Airport remains open to service its customers. Southland’s daylight hours are another blessing for aviators. In summer, daylight begins as early as 5am while the evening twilight extends as late as 10.30pm, which translates to an incredible 16 hours flying time. This provides long, lower risk opportunities to use the Airport aviation facilities. On a dark, clear night, it is possible to witness the world-famous Aurora Australis (Southern Lights). This magical atmospheric condition is like a spectacular light show in the night sky. It occurs when particles from the sun interact with the earth’s magnetic field - the resulting electric charge makes the gases in the atmosphere glow red, yellow and green.
