Games We Play On Singapore Telly In the mid 1990s, Singapore opened its doors to the international broadcasting community. The past four years in particular have seen steady policy-driven liberalisation of its print, television and multimedia industries. This has jumpstarted the local TV production industry and stimulated terrestrial network competition. While the two terrestrial TV networks compete voraciously for a small, fragmented, multilingual and increasingly sophisticated domestic TV audience, the localisation of international TV game show formats like Millionaire and The Weakest Link appear as attractive solutions to consolidate and build the audience base. TV gameshow formats have become one of the ‘formatting’ strategies that this industry employs to develop ‘local knowledge’ and ‘position’ themselves in the battle for audience ratings and eyeballs. This article will present findings and offer new insight into the impact of TV formats on the local television production, programming and audiences in Singapore.

    US SAILING ANNUAL REPORT to members 2009 letter to our members Dear Member, Our sport has enjoyed a long history of excellent competition and sportsmanship on the water. Sailing is special because it lasts a lifetime, connects the generations, and is available to everyone. Our members, volunteers, Board of Directors, and staff have been working hard to improve sailing at every level. We are happy to report that there are many bright spots in sailing today. Junior sailing is vibrant, over 400 high schools now have varsity sailing programs, 214 colleges field active sailing teams, our US SAILING membership is growing, community sailing centers are being formed all across America, and our sailors have excelled internationally. Over the past year American sailors have won world championships in many classes including: Sunfish, 505, Moth, Farr 40, Team Race, Star, Lightning, 2.4 meter, Melges 24, the DN and the America’s Cup. And second place in the Finn and J-24.

    Mud Flats and Flowing Tides The History of the Newhaven Yacht Squadron Wanda S Stelmach NYS Chapter 7 Page 1 Chapter 7 2006 – 2010 Rejoice – 188 Celebrations ‘We found a two year old 32 ft Caribbean motor cruiser at St Kilda Marina, and after many sleepless nights trying to justify spending the kids’ inheritance we bit the bullet.’ David and Joyce Whelan had joined Newhaven Yacht Squadron as senior members and then decided that ‘the next job was to purchase a boat.’ Given their senior status, they were looking for something large and comfortable enough to sleep in. The boat also needed enough room to accommodate their four adult children, their spouses and the multitude of ‘grandys’ for day trips around Phillip Island and Inverloch where the Whelans resided. Rejoice was the answer to their dilemma. Having become proud owners of a boat docked at St Kilda they were faced with the problem of where to park Rejoice until the Newhaven marina extension was complete. They managed to arrange a temporary berth at Yaringa Marina in Somerville on the Western Port side of the peninsula. However, being new to the joys of motorboating, their next task was to find a skilled captain to take them from Port Phillip Bay to Western Port. ‘Commodore Hamish Hughes offered his support. “We require sea charts, yoke type safety vests and sunscreen before we leave” he remarked and these were duly purchased.’ They also required good weather. On Friday 7 September 2007 they were blessed with favourable conditions with east to north- east winds to ten knots and waves to half a metre.

On Lord Howe the Caribou is king, since the strip was designed around the Caribou and was buitt by the Army. The strip takes short- take-off-and-landing aircraft, but only by day, and, as you are no doubt aware, the flying boats have ceased. This team consisted of reserve officers called from their private practices - the surgeon from his operating table, the anaesthetist from Lidcornbe Hospital, the theatre sister from Blacktown Hospital. The two medical orderlies and air crew were all regular RAAF. Together with the doctor on the Island plus three nurses, it was quite a team for Mr. Watson's small appendix. The team landed at 4.30p.m. in their special Caribou just recently fitted with a cardiac machine (used the previous week to take Senator Greenwood to Melbourne). At five p.m.

  • Gold Coast Yachts and the Siamese Gemini
    GOLD COAST YACHTS AND THE SIAMESE GEMINI By Jim Brown To watch the Caribbean day begin from the heights of an island like St. Croix is to be convinced that the world is always turning toward the morning. And down by the river, there’s something happening, something to suggest that the long night for production wooden boat building has ended. This is the story of two early risers, one named Roger and the other Rich. It tells of how they independently cast themselves adrift from the landmass of society and soon thereafter found each other in the dawn. They met while wandering in the littoral zone of our no longer Virgin Islands, and they had little between them, figuratively, besides a hammer, a wedge, and a vision. The hammer was steel-willed, the wedge was made of laminated wood, and the vision was, like, out of sight, for they were blinded by the sunrise to what could not be done. They began in the early 1980s by driving their wooden wedge between the tectonic plates of Earth’s crusty economy, and the first crack they opened seemed to shed new light on modern wooden boat building. Then their wedge came up against the Caribbean’s cross-cultural melting pot. They tapped on it, liked the sound, and tapped into it. Through the mid-80’s they continued to hammer on their wooden wedge, and a market niche began to spread. Today, Gold Coast Yachts is America’s largest producer of excursion catamarans. Taking a symbol from their trusty wedge, they produce their boats in laminated wood.
