Lifestyle Features Thursday, April 9, 2020 Established 1961 15 Lifestyle Features Thursday, April 9, 2020 tuck at home with no visitors and not much else Sto do, a pair of pandas in Hong Kong finally decided to give mating a go after a decade of dodging the issue. Like half the planet, Ying Ying and Le Le have only really had each other for company since coronavirus-caused lockdowns shut off the flow of guests to their themepark pad. And like couples everywhere, they’ve been making the best of the time on their own. “Since Ying Ying and Le Le’s arrival in Hong Kong in 2007 and attempts at natural mating since 2010, they unfortunately have yet to succeed until this year upon years of trial and learning,” said Ocean Park conservation official Michael Boos. The park released photos of the pair embracing in an enclosure uncharacteristically free from prying eyes and cameraphones. Pandas are notoriously bad at reproducing, especially in captivity. But vets had their hopes up when the monochromatic lovers started showing an interest in each other during the short spring mating season. For those who knew where to look for the tell-tale signs, ursine love was in the air. “Since late March, Ying Ying began spending more time playing in the water, while Le Le has been leaving scent-markings around his habitat and searching the Inventor Sudhakar Yadav gestures as he instructs a driver to drive a coronavirus-themed made car to be used in a awareness campaign, during a government-imposed area for Ying Ying’s scent,” the park said. “Such nationwide lockdown as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 coronavirus, in Hyderabad.—AFP behaviors are consistent with those common during breeding season, which occurs once every year between March to May,” it added. Experts will now monitor Ying Ying for signs of pregnancy, but it may be quite some wait as the gesta- tion period for giant pandas ranges from 72 to 324 days. The park said confirmation of pregnancy can only be detected by an ultrasound scan some 14 to 17 days before birth.

Le Coup du Parapluie Macbeth et Columbo à Scotland Yard Sarah HATCHUEL et Nathalie VIENNE-GUERRIN Cet article se propose d’analyser un épisode de la série Columbo intitulé « Dagger of the Mind » (1972) au cœur duquel se trouve le Macbeth de Shakespeare. Nous examinons la tension que cet épisode met en œuvre entre une série américaine du XXe siècle, Columbo, d’un côté, et la pièce de Shakespeare, Macbeth, de l’autre. La mise en miroir des deux oeuvres suggérée dès les premières images et reprise au cours de l’enquête invite à explorer comment Columbo et Macbeth s’articulent, ce que Macbeth fait à Columbo et ce que Columbo fait à Macbeth, notamment dans le contexte britannique qui caractérise l’épisode et tranche avec le décor habituellement américain de la série.

  • Newsletter C-7
    NEWSLETTER C-7 Welcome to our Yuletide Newsletter. This month, the C in C-7 stands quite firmly for Christmas! 2020 has been the strangest of years, when the C word has meant something altogether different, and it has been a time when we have all had to adjust our lifestyle and our habits. Not least of these will have been our cultural outings, including your weekly film fix at the Phoenix. Who would have thought as we sat watching the wonderful black comedy of eco-film Woman at War or the beautiful and elegiac black and white classic The Last Picture Show in the winter months that the arrival of Spring would also see the early closure of our 2019-2020 programme because of you-know-what. As I write this editorial, Christmas is on the very near horizon, but with the fear for many that it will be largely virtual, with the celebrations muted, and the festive season very much a stay-at-home affair possibly in small family bubbles. We know that the Phoenix will not return until 2021, and even then the restrictions placed on society may mean a very different experience for you our loyal Members. However, in spite of the many difficulties we have all experienced throughout the year, the Phoenix Council members would like to thank you for your fantastic loyalty and remind you of our paraphrase of both Arnold Schgwarzenegger and The Beatles “We’ll be back!” 007 has left the Cinema 2020 will forever be remembered as the year covid-19 entered our lives, bringing death to so many people worldwide, and further wreaking such havoc with society in so many countries.
