IRS Vs. Menaechmi.Pdf Internal Revenue Service vs. Menaechmi Will Owen comedy * Introductory Information Internal Revenue Service vs. Menaechmi is a comedy. It reprises what is for sure the oldest living playplot out there -- that of Plautus' Menaechmi and Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. As in The Comedy of Errors, this re-use of that old plotstory also hinges on the confusion generated by two sets of identical twins. Concept: On the one hand, this is a straightforward, full-length play -- the script for the playing of straight-on theater-show that is very full-length, focused on sustained, bravura acting -- and funny. On the other hand, this script is also an experiment in a hybrid form: fusing television mini-series and performance video- documentary. That is, this script can be divided and tailored for presentation as a handful of episodes for serial viewing, produced as theater before a live audience but for video documentation aimed at synching with the ever-growing way (particularly true in the world of opera and ballet) that more and more people are experiencing, albeit at no-longer-live second-hand, theaterworks through screen devices. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the technology that is most transforming nearly all the traditional performance arts is that of those ever more high-performance pixelscreens, their equally high- performance sound systems, and the global, digital distribution capability of the many different kinds of streaming platforms. Indeed, recent decades have seen the development of new sub-genre of filmmaking, that of videoworks aimed at ever- more-effectively recording stage performances for presentation on digitally-driven screens of one kind or another -- from the tennis- court size HD-projection screens of large movie theaters to the playing-card size lightboxes that our tele...phones are now. One of the best things about this relatively new artform of performance video-documentation is that it is necessarily focused -- at times close-up -- on the performers and their artistry. That is, the best of these videoworks shiningly-brilliantly record the acting (and whether that acting is primarily grounded in speech, song or dance etc. is immaterial to my point here about what this new form of videoart does so well). Incidentally (and obviously) this is all very revealing of my own outlook as a theater-maker: the whole point is the acting, all that other stuff -- the plot, the characters, the dialogue, the lights-and-set spectacle etc. etc. -- is just a pretext for putting on acting, the greater, and more humanly communicative, the better. Production Requirements: This play can be played across the spectrum of production logistics: from day lighting with everyday wear for costumes and no sets, to deep-pockets tech-palace lighting and costume and set design etc. As a theme of the play is wealth inequality in America today and some of the characters download charts etc. on that subject to their phones to show to each other, a way of sharing those visuals with the members of the audience is required. Plot Synopsis: In his office high in the Manhattan skyline Bill Menaechmi (NYB -- New York Bill) fends off the IRS as he pursues his global, mega-money deal-spinning. After chewing out his lawyers for not taking care of his tax problems, NYB takes off for a week-long business trip to the Caymans and Monte Carlo. Meanwhile, at offices of the IRS, three compliance enforcement officials -- Molly Pistol, Clifton Mayfield, and Dan Darling -- are working on how to track down the elusive financier. Their investigative efforts turn up a web profile in California they believe could well be that of their quarry in hideout -- but it's that of the other of the two long-lost, identical-twin Menaechmi brothers. The IRS officers send a stern e-mail, requiring that Bill Menaechmi to be at his apartment in New York in one week's time, or else... Bill Menaechmi (CAB -- California Bill) returns to his pad after a morning of surfing, and, as he makes coffee and talks to his dog, CAB gets the message, is mystified by it, but decides he'd better head 'cross country and show up at the appointed place and time. A week later, at NYB's apartment overlooking Central Park, NYB's homemaker wife, Alice, is getting a visit from her identical twin sister, Amanda, a glamorous fashion industry executive. Alice confesses her estrangement from her husband. Amanda, who has never had much liking nor respect for Alice's Bill, encourages Alice in her inclination to take some time to take stock, away from her neglectful, workaholic husband. To prevent his sure-to-follow divorce lawyers from dispossessing Alice of her home on the grounds she abandoned it when leaving him, Amanda proposes to stay in the apartment to stand in for Alice's continued occupancy and ownership of it. Alice packs a bag and moves out, leaving Amanda in the apartment alone. Meanwhile, at a nearby airport, at the general aviation terminal used by private jets, NYB, returning from his trip, is lured into a limo he was led to believe was the one that had been arranged, as usual, to pick him up. By the time he realizes that he's the victim of a gang of criminal consters, he's well on his way to being hustled to their safe house, stripped of the digital keys to his accounts, knocked out with knock-out fluid, and left to sleep it off in the back seat of an abandoned car. CAB arrives for the tax audit appointment at NYB's apartment. Amanda takes him for her sister's husband and he takes her for an IRS agent. Unsure what to make of the situation he's walked into, but staying true to his go-with-the-flow hipster ways, CAB -- since Amanda makes no move to make him leave -- ends up settling in to spend the night. Meanwhile, NYB has come to, penniless and documentless, and suffering the memory loss induced by the knock-out fluid. He's mugged for his coat and shoes. Back at the apartment, over dinner, CAB sets in against the sarcasm and disdain he's getting from Amanda -- to no avail. And he falls for her, hard. Back on the street, NYB finds his way to a homeless shelter to get issued other shoes and a coat. He falls in with other destitutes, is asked about himself, and pieces of his lost memory start coming back to him. That night at the apartment, CAB comes to Amanda's room. Though tempted by him despite her conviction that he's her sister's rebarbative husband, she rejects him. Out on the street, NYB's hallucinatory state promts his newfound sidekicks to take him down into the tunnels beneath the city to try a spiritual cure. NYB samples the renegade devotions practicing in hiding underground, but doesn't go for any. In the morning in the apartment, over breakfast, CAB's ardor for her turns Amanda to give in to him, and their love affair begins. At the offices of the IRS, the three lawyers/special agents arrive at work lamenting how the government shutdown then just ending prevented them from getting to NYB's as planned. They gripe about the system, and they decide to just show up at NYB's apartment that very day. Meanwhile, NYB runs into his wife, Alice, in Central Park. She catalyzes the full return of his memory, and agrees to go back home with him. Back at the apartment, Amanda's guilty remorse has frozen her intimacy with CAB -- just as NYB and her sister walk in on them. And then, the arrival of the IRS brings the long-lost identical twin Menaechmi brothers face-to-face again. How CAB and NYB wound up with the same name and separated at birth is discovered, and the long-lost identical twin brothers are, at long last, joyfully reunited -- only to have to face the IRS. And all live happily ever after, including the IRS ☺. Casting Breakdown: Five actress roles (Amanda, Alice, Molly, Effie, Nancy); seven actor roles (New York Bill, California Bill, Dan, Clifton, Cashman, Crewfer, Big Jim); and a chorus, the members of which play hierarchs and devotees in underground ceremonials. The roles of Molly/Effie, Dan/Crewfer and Clifton/Cashman can be doubled. The chorus can be replaced by pre-recorded voice-overs. Nearly all this play's characters are older rather than younger. One notional age line-up might be: late middle age/early senior -- New York Bill, California Bill, Alice, Amanda late thirties/early forties -- Molly, Effie, Dan, Crewfer within sight of retirement age -- Clifton, Cashman old before their time -- Big Jim, Nancy Scene Breakdown: The action takes place in ten backgrounds: the power-office of NYB, the lowrent surferpad of CAB, an IRS office, the palatial apartment of NYB, a general aviation terminal, a limo, a rundown hideout apartment, a street, tunnels under the city, a bench in Central Park.

  • The Human Aura
    The Human Aura Manual compiled by Dr Gaynor du Perez Copyright © 2016 by Gaynor du Perez All Rights Reserved No part of this book may be reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. INTRODUCTION Look beneath the surface of the world – the world that includes your clothes, skin, material possessions and everything you can see - and you will discover a universe of swirling and subtle energies. These are the energies that underlie physical reality – they form you and everything you see. Many scientific studies have been done on subtle energies, as well as the human subtle energy system, in an attempt to verify and understand how everything fits together. What is interesting to note is that even though the subtle energy systems on the earth have been verified scientifically as existing and even given names, scientists are only able to explain how some of them work. Even though we do not fully comprehend the enormity and absolute amazingness of these energies, they form an integral part of life as we know it. These various energy systems still exist regardless of whether you “believe in them” or not (unlike Santa Claus). You can liken them to micro-organisms that were unable to be seen before the invention of the microscope – they couldn’t be seen, but they killed people anyway. We, and everything in the universe, is made of energy, which can be defined most simply as “information that vibrates”. What’s more interesting is that everything vibrates at its own unique frequency / speed, for example, a brain cell vibrates differently than a hair cell, and similar organisms vibrate in similar ways, but retain a slightly different frequency than the other.

It causes me great angst and, on occasion, to hyperventilate. In fact, if my life were to flash before my eyes, many moments would include illegal U-turns, the sound of squealing brakes and me huffing and puffing into brown paper bags only to be catapulted Iforward, nonetheless, into varying degrees of discomfort and consequence. And, yet, I have survived each and every occurrence. Not always with grace, not always unscathed, or with the intended outcome; but always with growth, emerging shiny and new with a new-found purpose and vision: just like this year’s volume of The Undergraduate Review. Last fall, our review committee met to reassess the journal’s publication process. It was determined that the journal was in need of an overhaul.

  • A Study of Pop Songs Based on the Billboard Corpus
    International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol. 4, No. 2, June 2017 A Study of Pop Songs based on the Billboard Corpus Yasunori Nishina Kobe Gakuin University Japan Abstract Listening to pop songs has been without any doubt enjoyed as a pastime all over the world. From the viewpoint of applied linguists, this situation automatically raises the two fundamental questions of what the linguistic features of pop songs are and how pop songs contribute to language learning and education, although they have largely been neglected as a viable source of data or a topic in these fields. For this reason, on the basis of the author's original pop song corpus, this paper investigates various features identified in the lyrics of contemporary popular songs ranked in the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a decade (2002-2011) to grasp the delineation of this genre, and provides basic data utilizable for the design of future English materials and their development in detail. Keywords: Pop Songs, Corpus Linguistics, Quantitative Analysis 1. Introduction This paper quantitatively and qualitatively examines trends in modern pop songs and the characteristics of their lyrics, areas in which there has been almost no research to date. Specifically, I have conducted an analysis by compiling a corpus of Billboard Hot 100 songs for each of the past 10 years (henceforth, the Billboard Corpus) and referencing a variety of attribute information attached to file names. 2. Literature Review 2.1. Billboard: calculation of the popularity of pop songs Billboard continues to have a great impact worldwide on pop songs. According to the explanation of Matsumura (2012), Billboard, founded in the nineteenth century, is the largest weekly music industry magazine in the U.S.
