Part two of two episodes! Adam and Dong get together for the second time to discuss all of the input and output sources that encompass our reef aquariums. This episode covers mostly outputs: from skimming, to GFO, to water changes and many other intentional or unintentional husbandry methods.Dong has a PhD in chemistry and worked for several pharmaceutical companies in various therapeutic areas including anti-inflammatory, cancer, pain management and anti-infectious diseases. He developed his first interest in marine invertebrates when he was working as a post doc at the University of Virginia. He has been in aquarium hobby since he was in college and he got into the saltwater hobby in 2004 after setting up his first marine fish tank for a Nemo and after he discovered the Boston Reefers Society.About 10 years ago, he cofounded his first company on drug discovery. Soon after that, he was able to combine his passion for coral and his experience in the pharmaceutical industry and cofounded a new company, eCove BioMarine. This company focused on aquaculture coral for drug discovery and bone grafting. His current company, AcroGarden Inc, was then founded to hold the intellectual properties and to study coral farming. AcroGarden is now his primary focus. The company produces aqua-cultured coral, mainly SPS, for the hobby.Acrogarden Links:https://www.acrogarden.com/https://www.bostonreefers.org/forums/index.php?forums%2Facro-garden.148%2FFrag Garage Links:https://www.patreon.com/BeyondTheReefPodcasthttps://fraggarage.ca/https://www.instagram.com/fraggarage/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLkiAJNqvoIRDRTFs34e6Twhttps://www.facebook.com/fraggarageBeyond the Reef Merch!https://fraggarage.ca/product-category/swag/Products Discussed:https://www.coralvue.com/abyzz-afc150-flow-pumphttps://aquaticlog.com Hosted on Acast.

When Nisha Vora went vegan at the age of 28, she thought her lifelong love affair with food was coming to an end. But after discovering that smoothies and acai bowls did not count as meals, her hunger pushed her to become a much better cook. Now, her latest cookbook, Big Vegan Flavor, is a bestseller. She joins us to discuss how to make flavorful plant-based recipes -- and take listener calls.Here's a recipe from the cookbook:Sticky Coconut Milk–Braised TofuServes 3 to 4 | GFO, NFAs much as I love crispy tofu, I may love this braised tofu even more. Here, squares of tofu are pan-fried until golden and crispy, then braised in a Thai-inspired blend of coconut milk, soy sauce, lemongrass, and spices. Frying the tofu first makes the perfect porous surface for the deeply savory and slightly sweet braising liquid to seep into, creating that spongy and chewy yet tender texture found in Chinese restaurant tofu dishes.Tip: To serve a crowd, double the tofu and braising liquid. Fry the tofu in two batches; after frying the first batch, start simmering the liquid in a 3-quart (2.8 L) saucepan, then follow the recipe as written.Big-Flavor Meals: Serve over a bed of jasmine white rice or brown rice, along with blanched or stir-fried green beans, bok choy, or broccolini.1 (14-ounce/400 g) block extra-firm tofu, drainedKosher salt3 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil of choiceBraising Liquid1 tablespoon coriander seeds1 (13.5-ounce/400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk1/2 cup (140 g) soy sauce or tamari (use tamari for GF)1/4 cup (84 g) agave nectar (or organic brown sugar or cane sugar)2 lemongrass stalks, minced (see page 472 for prep tips)1-inch (2.5 cm) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced (peel on okay)4 large garlic cloves, smashed1 to 3 Thai chiles (or 1 serrano pepper), stemmed and sliced in half vertically (use 3 chiles for spicy!; omit for mild heat)1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper1 (2-inch) cinnamon stickFor ServingCooked white or brown riceRoasted black or white sesame seeds1 handful chopped cilantro or Thai basil (optional)1. Wrap the tofu in a thin dish towel or a few paper towels and press for 10 to 15 minutes (see page 265).2. Slice the tofu in half vertically, then flip each slab around and slice crosswise into squares about 1/2-inch (1 to 1.5 cm) thick. Arrange the tofu in a single layer on a cutting board. Gently press down on the squares with a towel to release more water. Sprinkle the tofu with a couple of pinches of salt. Line a large plate with a few paper towels.3. Heat a 12-inch (30 cm) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, then add the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Carefully add the tofu, arranging it in a single layer. Move the tofu around in the oil to evenly coat it and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a thin spatula to flip and cook until the other side is also golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.4. While the tofu cooks, make the braising liquid. Use the back of a large knife or a sturdy mug to roughly crush the coriander seeds. Or you can use a mortar and pestle or pulse once in a spice grinder.5. In a medium (2-quart/2 L) heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the coconut milk, soy sauce, agave, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chiles (if using), roughly crushed coriander, white pepper, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes. It should be very flavorful and quite salty.6. Add the fried tofu to the braising liquid and stir to coat. A few pieces of tofu will peek up above the liquid, but that's okay. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is almost wrinkly and the liquid has thickened into a sauce that sticks to the tofu, about 35 minutes. 7. Remove from the heat and let cool briefly; discard the cinnamon stick. Serve over rice, pour a little braising liquid on top of the rice (not a lot, as it's quite potent), and garnish with sesame seeds and herbs.

With episodes nearing 350 in the STAGES archive, it's time to revisit conversations featured in our previous seasons. STAGES spotlights such episodes, in case you missed them the first time ‘round - or so you can simply savour, a second listen. Either way, you'll be accessing precious oral histories from the people who were there, on and around our stages. In February 2019 we lost a stalwart of the musical theatre fraternity in Australia. Rod Dunbar was a gentleman who relished a life on the boards, navigating a career over five decades. STAGES was honoured that he consented to be featured in our very first series. And a privilege to revisit his extensive career and life in showbiz in this Spotlight episode. Growing up in Rockhampton in Queensland, Rod made the piano his instrument of choice. But he soon discovered he had a decent ‘set of pipes' and promptly pursued a career fronting bands. It was a move hastened by his viewing of Blackboard Jungle, a film celebrated for its innovative use of rock and roll in its soundtrack. His taste for entertaining an audience prompted a venture south to Sydney where he quickly established himself as an in-demand vocalist. An enthusiastic beginning saw him perform with the Petersham Musical Society guided by Helen de Paul and working alongside her daughter, a young Trisha Noble. He became a regular on Channel Seven's Sing Sing Sing hosted by Johnny O'Keefe (it aired from 1962 to 1965), and launched a pop career that saw recordings such as ‘Break Down', ‘Dare I Say It Again', ‘Little Girl It's Time We Parted' and ‘What Do You Want from Me?'. Rod toured the country, doing gigs with other high-profile entertainers including The Bee Gees, Digger Revell and the Denvermen, Lee Sellars and Jimmy Little. They attracted attention everywhere, due to their national exposure through the new medium of television. At a time when he was looking to expand the possibilities of his career, Rod was spotted by J.C. Williamson's Betty Pounder, who encouraged him to pursue a career in musical theatre. His celebrity made him an ideal candidate to join Noel Ferrier's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Rod was cast as a featured courtier and worked alongside John Meillon, Gwen Plumb, Tony Bonner and Max Phipps. This was followed by performances in The Boys From Syracuse, Oliver!, and his renowned turn in 1967 as The Fiddler in the original staging of Fiddler on the Roof in Australia, with Hayes Gordon and Brigid Lenihan. He experienced personal triumphs in the original Australian productions of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown as Snoopy, and in Godspell in 1972 in a magnetic performance as Jesus. The production also toured New Zealand. His extensive career included the celebrated production of Chicago directed by Richard Wherrett for the Sydney Theatre Company. Other work for the STC included Company and Merrily We Roll Along. He completed tours of Dirty Dancing for Kevin Jacobsen and Are You Lonesome Tonight, South Pacific and Big River for GFO. His arrival on stage as Mark Twain at the beginning of Big River is still vivid. Dressed immaculately in a white suit, centre stage in a solo spot, drawing on a cigar and releasing a smoke plume that billowed high above into the flys, he was an actor at one with a character and held the audience poised, ready for a great story. Whether on stage or off, Rod was always a gifted storyteller. He leaves behind a legacy of wonderful performances and professionalism as a colleague, mentor and mate.

Creative outputs, Putting music together through trial and error, and a necessary departure. Seth Applebaum (Ghost Funk Orchestra) “Ghost Funk Orchestra is the brainchild of composer/multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum. What started as a one-man recording project has now evolved into a 10-piece powerhouse live band. It's a sonic kaleidoscope that defies genre specification, but draws heavy influence from the worlds of soul, psych rock, salsa, and beyond. Their unique blend of genres has attracted praise from the likes of Bandcamp, KUTX, Brooklyn Vegan, Earmilk, and more. Local NY blog Post-Trash described their sound as a ‘psych odyssey of traditional sounds delivered in a non-traditional fashion.' Bandcamp's Editorial Director J. Edward Keyes praised the band's ability to ‘leave no funk-adjacent genre unexplored.' Now, coming off of their highly regarded 2019 release ‘A Song For Paul,' GFO is hard at work preparing their follow-up LP, to be released in fall 2020 on Karma Chief.” Excerpt from https://www.coleminerecords.com/collections/ghost-funk-orchestra Ghost Funk Orchestra: Bandcamp: https://ghostfunkorchestra.bandcamp.com Instagram: @ghostfunkorchestra Website: https://www.ghostfunkorchestra.com Merch: https://ghostfunkorchestra.bandcamp.com/merch Records: https://www.coleminerecords.com/collections/ghost-funk-orchestra The Vineyard: Instagram: @thevineyardpodcast Website: https://www.thevineyardpodcast.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSn17dSz8kST_j_EH00O4MQ/videos

When circumstance brings her back to her hometown on the eve of Dubbomania, the biggest wrestling tournament of the year, Rose is drawn into a monumental battle over family and identity, featuring capes, choreography, and some of the most colourful characters you'll ever meet. The violence, the joy, the costumes, the thumbtacks. Will there be blood? We bloody hope so. Dubbo Championship Wrestling, written by rising stars Daniel and James Cullen and directed by smackdown champion Sheridan Harbridge, has been developed through Hayes Creative Development.

Opening at The Lyric Theatre in Sydney next week is the Broadway revival of Stephen Schwartz’ musical Pippin - the coming-of-age story of a young man searching for his place in the world. Ryan Yeates and George Holahan-Cantwell share the role of Theo. The two young actors have amassed considerable professional engagement in their burgeoning careers. Ryan is 15 and George is 12.Young actors are a regular presence, and often an awe-inspiring addition, to the narratives in much of musical theatre. Contemporary commercial offerings have necessitated a corpse de ballet of dance hopefuls in Billy Elliot or a class of school brats in Matilda - the musical. But it’s a tradition that has long been present on stages - we’ve gaped at the talents demonstrated by the Von Trapp children in The Sound Of Music, the tenacity of the orphans in Annie and the stamina of the workhouse boys in Oliver.Sometimes, the creators have even thrown in an animal or two, to increase the charm factor. Star turns by canine characters have given us Sandy in Annie, Chowsie in Gypsy and Toto in The Wizard Of Oz. Pippin has both of these. A beguiling boy actor to play the role of Theo - and a duck!George enjoys everything involving music and you will often find him singing, playing the piano and producing his own music. A talented performer with a passion for musical theatre, George recently completed the Sydney season of School of Rock playing the role of the keyboardist Lawrence, and before that, the role of Benji in Priscilla Queen of the Desert.Ryan returns to the stage after recently playing the lead role of Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the role of Noah in Caroline or Change for the Hayes Theatre Co. He trains in all forms of dance and has won many State and Australian titles in Irish Dancing. A regular performer with The Wiggles on TV and DVD, Ryan features as the Junior Purple Wiggle, in the ABC series Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle; as well performing in the Emma series.Stages is fascinated by the extraordinary talents expressed by young triple threats in the navigation of these narratives. How does one so young achieve such detailed, mature and skilful performance? George and Ryan provide an insight to the work, commitment and drive of these young thespians.The Stages podcast is available from Apple podcasts, Spotify, Whooshkaa and where all good podcasts are found.

Frost’s production of The King And I, rewards with considerable triumph, scooping several Tony Awards after the production transfers to Broadway. The show hadn’t been produced in Australia for 20 years. It was a major win for Frost, and opened many doors internationally. A West End production followed, with Elaine Paige playing Anna Leonowens.There have also been the theatrical misfires that confirm the business gamble of producing commercial product. Frost ponders these missteps and responds to the comments that have often questioned his choices of show, his casting decisions and his development of original product.He is loyal to a legion of performers who were on the ground floor of our industry and is enthused by any opportunity to develop a new ‘star’. He is happiest when he’s making theatre and still gets star-struck when finding himself working with idols like Julie Andrews, who directed his 60th Anniversary production of My Fair Lady.During the early 2000s, Frost partnered with James Erskine and Basil Scaffidi’s Sports Entertainment Ltd (SEL) and expanded the notion of entertainment, creating arena spectaculars with Grease and The Main Event featuring Olivia Newton John, Anthony Warlow and John Farnham.Eventually re-forming GFO, he gave us The Sound of Music (starring Lisa McCune), The Wizard of Oz (starring Nikki Webster), Annie (starring Anthony Warlow) and Footloose. The repertoire goes on with productions of Wicked, The Producers, Phantom of the Opera, Dream Lover and Legally Blonde. The list is extensive.In 2020, The Gordon Frost Organisation presents Chicago, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Shrek, The Book of Mormon, Nine to Five and Waitress throughout Australia.In part 2 of this absorbing conversation with impresario John Frost, he relishes the triumphs, analyses the disasters and contemplates the future of Musical Theatre and Entertainment.

Her first big break came whilst she was in the chorus of Call Me Madam when as understudy to Evie Hayes she was called upon to play the leading role. Jill went from success to success appearing in J.C.Williamson’s South Pacific, Paint Your Wagon, The Pajama Game and Can Can. Further triumphs followed with legendary performances through a stellar career; No, No Nanette, Annie, A Little Night Music and The Boy From Oz.Kevan Johnston's hard work, early in life, studying all forms of dance under his mother Peggy Esler’s tuition paid off, for when he auditioned for Call Me Madam, he landed the role of principal dancer. He impressed the directors because he was again made principal dancer for several other shows including Paint Your Wagon, Can Can and The Pajama Game, where he became one of Australia’s first Fosse dancers alongside Tikki Taylor and Frank Sheldon, in the iconic Steam Heat number. Parallel careers as a choreographer and Television producer have also offered Kevan opportunities to contribute impressively to entertainment in Australia.The pair have managed careers which have offered them several opportunities to work together in productions. These have included Wallflowering, Carnival, The One Day of the Year, Annie and celebrated turns in the GFO national tour of Hello Dolly! - a theatrical gift which saw Jill in the role of Dolly Levi and Kevan leading the waiter’s gallop as Rudy, in the famed Harmonia Gardens’ sequence.Jill and Kevan are luminaries of the Australian stage; not only in musical theatre, but also with extensive credits in stage drama, television and film, across several decades.
