Wilberforce Institute Summer Webinar: Windrush Day 2021
Tuesday 22 June 2021, 4pm – 5:30pm BST
On Windrush Day 2021 the Wilberforce Institute welcomes you, on behalf of partners across the City of Hull, to highlight Hull's important migrant ties with the Caribbean at a free online event.
Chaired by Karen Okra, the panellists include Gifty Burrows (Founder of the Africans in Hull and East Yorkshire Project), Dr Nicholas Evans (Senior Lecturer in Diaspora at the University of Hull), and Catherine Ross and Lynda-Louise Burrell (Founders of Museumand, The National Caribbean Heritage Museum). Closing remarks will be provided by Councillor Aneesa Akbar, Portfolio Holder for Communities at Hull City Council.
This region's links to the Caribbean are very strong. Planters from Hull and the surrounding region were among the earliest colonists settling Barbados in the first half of the seventeenth century; an early Governor of the Island emanated from Ryedale; Lincolnshire planter, Thomas Thistlewood, had a friend on Jamaica who came from Hull; and trade from the British West Indies arrived at the port of Hull from numerous islands including modern day Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, Haiti and St Kitts. More recently, during the Second World War thousands of RAF personnel from the Caribbean were based at nearby RAF Hunmanby.
It is therefore unsurprising that personal connections established over centuries encouraged people from the Caribbean to come and live, study, or work in our region after the Second World War to bolster Britain's post-war labour shortages. It was a period often described as the Windrush Generation after the HMT Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks, Essex, on 22 June 1948, carrying passengers from the West Indies. Those coming to this region in the following decades included lawyer Sir Roy Marshall, who became the fourth Vice Chancellor of the University of Hull and the first black leader of any UK university; historian Sir Hilary Beckles, a triple graduate of the University of Hull and present Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies; and rugby captain Clive Sullivan, whose family originated in Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda.
The personal bond between both regions is the focus of a new £16,000 project funded by the UK Government's Windrush Grant. Led by Hull City Council the partnership includes the University of Hull, Wilberforce House Museum, Hull Libraries, Hull Culture and Leisure Limited, Hull City Council, Museumand, The National Caribbean Heritage Museum and the Hull Afro Caribbean Association. It will draw upon the expertise of historians Professor Trevor Burnard and Dr Nicholas Evans from the University of Hull's Wilberforce Institute.

Racial Capitalism and the End of Empire Files
PhD student, Falling Though the Net Cluster
My research on child migration from Britain, and Indigenous child removal within Canada during the twentieth century, is particularly concerned with race. From a theoretical point of view, I am interested in what these schemes might demonstrate in terms of understanding 'racial capitalism'. Connections between historic child welfare, and what academics term the 'colonial global economy' might not seem obvious, but both fuse questions of morality with relationships defined by imbalances of power, and an intent to gauge whose interests are being protected.
'Racial capitalism' is a concept attributed to the late Cedric Robinson, alongside other key figures associated with the Black Radical Tradition, recently receiving renewed interest from scholars and activists. In its most basic sense, it proposes an inextricable relationship between racism and capitalism.
Robinson argued that racialised exploitation was foundational to the development of capitalism within Europe, before the introduction of transatlantic slavery, in processes he considered colonial. He demonstrated that historically Europe's working-classes contained racialisedsubjects, including Irish, Roma, Slav and Jewish people, whose exploitation was broadly accepted on account of their apparent cultural or ethnic inferiority.
Contemporary sociologists suggest that the capitalist tendency to differentiate workers along racial lines is frequently underestimated in accounts of how the modern world developed. We have to ask what is the work that racism does – over time and across place, for whose benefit and why – and set this alongside postcolonial theorists, who address the colonial processes fundamental to the reproduction of plural racisms.
In my research, racialisation, essentially the identification of particular people as 'races' has clear significance. When Christopher Columbus 'discovered' North America in the fifteenthcentury, he apparently labelled its people 'Indian' because he mistakenly believed he had reached Asia. Five hundred years later, children from ethnically, linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds were forced to attend 'Indian Residential Schools', in an attempt to erase their 'Indian' heritage and assimilate them into Western-European culture, a legacy of this crude 'pan-Indian' construction and the colonial systems that manufactured and defined its terms.
How racial codes are constructed and transformed was something I considered when looking at the British Documents on the End of Empire series, an annotated collection of government records chronicling Britain's withdrawal from its colonial territories. The following quotes are all taken from these files, with the headings indicating which volume. I would urge anyone interested in Britain's recent colonial history to have a look at them.
The Labour Government and the End of Empire 1945-1951: Part IV, pp. 144-155.
After the Second World War, the disintegration of Britain's old imperial identity is reflected in discussions over Canada's rejection of the 'phrase if not the content of Dominion status', now considered to imply domination. The model was India, 'which only twenty years ago clamoured for Dominion status, now demands independence'. In a letter to India's first Prime Minister Pandit Nehru in 1949, one year after gaining independence, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee emphasised the 'power of words' and the changing dynamics of Britain's former empire, remarking how Canada first 'called itself a Dominion having taken the term from some phrase in the Bible'. He lamented the fact that 'we in this country are rather insensitive to the content of names'.
Imperial Policy and Colonial Practice 1925-1945: Part II, pp. 291-306.
Racial sensitivities, or lack thereof, are detailed in one compelling memo written in 1940 by B.E. Carman, Director of Education in British Honduras (now Belize), regarding 'offensive passages in school textbooks'. Reflecting upon British racism, colonial policy, and the influence of the former on the colonies, Carman urged the Colonial Office to review the distribution of books authored by British academics, as their contents, 'though not necessarily actually offensive, are yet irritating to local people'.
Carman cites the following extract to highlight what he terms the hypocrisy of 'Western standards' that claim cultural differences as 'an accident of geography' rather than racial inheritance, while still viewing non-white people 'as some strange inferior species'.
The original people were negroes of a backward type […] But they have mixed to some extent with the better tribes farther north and so have been improved. (Laborde, The Southern Lands, 1931).
Carman also suggests that racial hierarchies between colonised populations be considered: 'books written for West Africa cannot be used in the West Indies since the people here rightly regard themselves as being more advanced than their African relatives, particularly if they happen to be comparatively fair-skinned.'
Carman's proposed solution, with hindsight, appears extraordinarily naïve. He suggested that if British scholars were only more 'careful of what they write', they could spare not only the feelings of Britain's colonial subjects, but potentially reverse racial prejudices 'developing in England [which] would be checked and probably even killed'.
This understanding of British racism as 'purely a social problem' recurs, demonstrating an important contention of postcolonial theory, and what is considered a false distinction between economic/political systems and social relations. The racism integrated in the former is denied by emphasising the latter. In the minutes of Colonial Office meetings in the early 1940s, the problem of domestic racial prejudice, characterised as 'a disinclination on the part of white people to be brought into close association, socially, with coloured people', is contrasted favourably with the seemingly intractable colonial 'colour bar', and explicitly racist legislation favouring their white European minorities. Despite these cases being, 'very difficult to answer by a government which attempts to take its stand against colour prejudice', in Africa especially, such discrimination was still considered 'to be, and is, in the interests of the natives themselves.'
The Conservative Government and the End of Empire 1951-1957, Part III, pp. 393-395.
Hope that Britain's racist inclinations could, in Carman's words, simply be 'brought up to date' had been firmly dispelled by the 1950s, although the hypocrisy of publicly portraying anti-racist sentiments while tacitly condoning colonial racism, and here implementing racist policies, remained consistent. In the words of Lord Salisbury in a 1954 letter to Lord Swinton, 'if we legislate on immigration, though we can draft it in non-discriminatory terms, we cannot conceal the obvious fact that the object is to keep out coloured people'.
This was in relation to the increasing migration of British subjects from the West Indies, foreshadowing the recent Windrush scandals. Salisbury remarked: 'It is for me not merely a question of whether criminal negroes should be allowed in or not; it is a question whether great quantities of negroes, criminal or not, should be allowed to come…'
He was suggesting, derisively, that 'this sudden increase of the inflow of Blacks is of course the welfare state'. Arguably this is true, since these were people actively recruited in their thousands to help rebuild Britain's economy after the war, including to its new National Health Service.
Because of its usage in contexts similar to the above, 'negro' is a term now considered deeply offensive. In the 1920s however, W.E.B. Du Bois, forefather of the sociology of race, advocated its use by black people over 'coloured' for political reasons. Thinking about the currency of race – the work racialised constructions do, who uses them, how they change and why – is significant in research that hopes to understand racial capitalism and, ultimately, how the exploitation of particular people is often justified.

St Vincent's volcanic crisis – failing to learn from Montserrat
Falling Through the Net PhD Cluster
The eruption on 9 April of La Soufrière volcano on the Caribbean island of St Vincent followed months of smoke plumes and other warning signs. At the time of writing, some 20,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, about one fifth of the island's population. Some are temporarily housed in shelters, others on cruise ships or neighbouring islands. On 14 April, the United Nations launched an emergency appeal after shelter capacity was breached and supplies of drinking water and other essentials ran low. Overcrowding also threatens to spread Covid-19 among the displaced.
To anyone with a long interest in the region or of volcanology, this may all sound familiar. In 1995, La Soufrière's namesake – the Soufrière Hills volcano – erupted on the island of Montserrat, another former British colony in the same island chain. The southern half of the island, including Montserrat's capital, were evacuated several times before temporary resettlement eventually became permanent. Around two-thirds of Montserrat's original population of 10,600 inhabitants eventually relocated overseas, most in the United Kingdom [UK].
The volcanoes themselves also seem to be following similar patterns: eruptions of ash, debris and gases following a period of seismic activity and heavy ash falls that blight everyday life and pose a risk to health. Montserrat's Soufrière Hills lava domes continue to rumble to this day, although the last major eruptions occurred between 1995 and 2010. Likewise, La Soufrière seems set to pose a threat to Vincentians for some time to come. Yet in my own research into the disaster on Montserrat, I found that neither the UK Government (Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory) nor the Government of Montserrat had been prepared to respond to an eruption, despite warnings from scientists, eruptions on neighbouring volcanic islands, and increased seismicity. Considering that St Vincent suffered three major eruptions in the twentieth Century, and like Montserrat is subject to other natural disasters such as hurricanes, the lack of preparedness and international support appears inexcusable.
To minimise disruption from displacement, and prevent more serious harms such as trauma, exploitation and poverty among displaced people, temporary accommodation must provide for an adequate standard of living. Despite St Vincent's history of volcanic activity and months of warning signs, it appears that the government did not have enough shelters, hygiene kits or beds, and no adequate contingency for providing clean water and sanitation. The Montserratian government made similar oversights 30 years ago; as a result, 19 people who had returned to the relative comfort of their homes in the exclusion zone were killed by a pyroclastic flow on 25 June 1997.
The inadequate response of the UK Government to an unfolding catastrophe in its overseas territory caused further hardships on Montserrat. My analysis of Hansard records shows little interest in the situation among UK parliamentarians and government until the tragedy of June 1997 forced the issue into the spotlight. By this time, islanders had struggled on in cramped and insanitary conditions with limited access to food, education and health care, for almost two years. Eventually, the British government opened an assisted passage scheme to help Montserratians leave the island, with several thousand ultimately relocating to the UK. Yet the privations and indignities continued when many of the evacuees, who were supposed to be treated as British citizens, were denied National Insurance numbers and other basic support in the UK. Meanwhile the impacts of the late-1990s eruptions continue to be felt on the island to this day, with many Montserratians still lacking adequate housing and employment opportunities.
As the UN launches its emergency funding appeal, Britain, the former colonial ruler of St Vincent, has pledged just £200,000 of support. It is inevitable that the crisis on St Vincent, like La Soufrière itself, will rumble on for some time to come. To prevent a severely reduced quality of life for the relocatees, and potential tragedy if people opt to return home rather than suffering the misery of inadequate shelters, the British government must do more. The international community too should consider routes for safe and legal passage off the island for those who choose to leave, either temporarily or permanently, to reduce pressure on the limited available services. Such relocations should be carried out with dignity and with respect for the wishes of the evacuees.
Montserrat and St Vincent and the Grenadines sit in an increasingly vulnerable position as climate change warms the neighbouring seas and air. More forceful hurricanes and rising sea levels put the islanders at greater risk from future natural disasters. Heavy storms triggered by climate change can also increase the risk of, and dangers from, volcanic eruptions in the region. The sad inevitability that natural catastrophes will become more severe and frequent should prompt policymakers in the Caribbean nations and their former colonial rulers to step up their disaster preparedness and response. Sadly, for the currently displaced population of St Vincent, the window of opportunity may already have been missed.

Children Falling Through the Net
Wiseman PhD Research Scholarship
The Wilberforce Institute is home to a number of students whose PhD research focuses on child migration and exploitation, in both historical and contemporary contexts. Four recently came together to explore the connections and the points of difference between their studies. James Baker, Jasmine Holding Brown and Saphia Fleury are first year students in the Falling through the Net cluster, and Charlotte Russell is in her second year. They share their thoughts below.
Our connections:
All four of our research projects are concerned with the situations and processes, emerging in the context of migration, that place children at risk of exploitation. Although approached in different ways, and applied in disparate geographical, cultural and historical contexts, there are common concerns relating to issues of vulnerability and victimhood.
Vulnerabilities are understood, in part, as a condition of childhood, since to varying degrees children depend on adults for protection and survival. However, settlement in unfamiliar territories brings with it cultural and linguistic displacement and furthers the risks of exploitation. This raises important concerns regarding children on the move, who not only have specific needs but are also the bearers of rights. This in turn focuses attention on the power differentials between adults and children and the relationships between children and the state. It is notable in all our projects that the experiences of migrant children are varied and complex, but also, crucially, that their perspectives are often missing.
Victimhood represents the second of our common concerns. We all seek to balance the acknowledgment of vulnerabilities with the risk of imposing culturally determined images of victimhood upon migrant children. In managing these issues our work is linked by a critical approach, not the notion of 'victim' in itself, but to the imposition of a particular form of passive victimhood upon children who have experienced or are experiencing trauma or harm in relation to forced migration.
Our differences:
James and heritage
My particular focus is on how heritage has been utilised to preserve and represent the experience of forced child emigration. As a historian who is interested in memory studies and public history, I am concentrating largely on how museums and memorials have chosen to represent the topic of forced child emigration from Britain to Australia. This research raises a number of important issues; not only do I need to investigate the role that former child migrants themselves have played in defining their own heritage, but I also need to understand how the wider public relates to this history and their contemporary moral judgments of child migrant schemes. I will also be looking to make a comparative analysis of the British and Australian heritage regimes at large, in addition to how the creation of heritage markers in relation to the Home Children can facilitate the wider process of historical redress and reconciliation.
Jasmine and rescue
My project focuses on child rescue – the development of social movements aimed at 'rescuing' children, the agencies involved and the ideologies underpinning their practices. I am looking at forced child migration (from Britain to Canada) and compulsory residential schooling (for Indigenous Canadian children) in the 20th Century, to explore the ways in which these drastic, and, ultimately harmful practices were legitimised. Factors that were significant in cementing these forms of 'child rescue' include, I suggest, the assumed moral authority of white middle-class philanthropists, religious institutions and other agencies of the state, in addition to the alignment of child rescue with imperialist and colonial political agendas, namely white settlement and assimilation. These cases raise important questions about the nature of the 'parent state': who is entitled to act on behalf of children; how are these arrangements constructed, which potentially conflicting interests do they also serve, and to whom are they accountable?
Saphia and the environment
My research looks specifically at modern-day child migration in the context of environmental change, particularly climate change. In my analysis of legal frameworks for the protection of children, I found that, while sufficient legal protections do exist, these are frequently not applied to children on the move. Moreover, there is a protection gap for people migrating as a result of environmental change, who do not fit the category of 'refugees'. As a result, many are pushed into exploitative situations, or suffer abuse or an inability to realise their human rights. As climate change reduces the number of people who can sustain a livelihood at home, we might expect the international community to provide support and sustainable solutions for those who need to move. Yet in the context of climate change, the issue of 'agency' becomes muddied; more so when considering the decisions made by children who leave their homes in search of a better life.
Charlotte and encampment
In my research, the refugee camp becomes the focus of attention as I assess the role of power and responsibility in the management of such camps. My study seeks to evaluate how these power dynamics, operating within the boundaried and politically contested zone of the refugee camp, influence the embodiment and enactment of a rights consciousness among the young refugees living within them. Children who have experienced or are experiencing trauma suffer the imposition of a particular form of passive victimhood or harm in relation to forced migration. As a result, a key issue which my work aims to address is the effective representation of the experiences of young refugees in camps, without homogenisation or groupism. I'm seeking to balance evidencing young refugees' expressions of agency with the acknowledgement of their complex and varied individual experiences of 'childhood'.
Thank you for your interest in our research. We will be adding other blogs as our work develops.

Wilberforce Institute Webinars at the Freedom Festival
Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th September, 2020.
Whilst September marks the return to learning in British schools and universities, for the City of Hull it also heralds the beginning of a four-day festival that has grown to become one of the cultural highlights of the year. Since 2007 the Freedom Festival, beginning on Friday 4th September this year, provides the opportunity for artists and champions of freedom in all its forms to raise awareness about human rights. Whilst this year's activities are centred firmly on virtual cultural gatherings, the programme provides something for everyone.
The Wilberforce Institute has played a key role in supporting the festival since its foundation during the Bicentenary of the Abolition of the British Slave Trade in 2007. This year we are delighted to be contributing four 'Freedom Talks' that are part of their exciting programme. From the director of our Institute, to PhD students at the beginning of their academic journey, members of the Institute are looking forward to sharing the fruits of their research with audiences around the world. All four events are free to attend, delivered online, and don't require any booking. In this blog we aim to provide you with a taster of these activities that we hope will encourage you to join us to find out more.
Black Peril
Throughout this summer, British streets, squares and bridges that were the scene of violent race riots in 1919, were transformed into dynamic stages, galleries and plinths to creatively explore this past. It's easy to get the idea that mobs of 'woke' millennials are suddenly forcing Britons to confront 'diversity' for the first time. However, from Glasgow to Barry (via Hull), and indeed Chicago and New York the entire western world was engulfed in racial conflict over 100 years ago. The backdrop of today's civil unrest, statues being torn down and serious soul searching across Britain, mean that there has rarely been a more opportune moment to explore ignored British history, radically challenging the way 'British', 'White' and 'Working-Class' identities have been constructed. As Soweto Kinch has argued, '1919 established and entrenched hierarchies of racism that have yet to be undone'.
Two times Mobo Award winning, Mercury nominated British Saxophonist Soweto Kinch will be talking to Dr Nicholas Evans from the Wilberforce Institute at the University of Hull about the Race Riots that took place in Hull in 1919-1920. This talk precedes the online performance of #BlackPeril2020 for five nights between Monday, 14th and Friday, 18th September 2020.

Tacky's Revolt
This webinar assembles a stellar cast of academics, all with specialist knowledge in the area, to discuss the largest slave revolt in the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world, an uprising that laid bare the interconnectedness of Europe, Africa, and America, shook the foundations of empire, and reshaped ideas of race and popular belonging. Chaired by Diana Paton, William Robertson Professor at the University of Edinburgh (author of The Cultural Politics of Obeah), five academics discuss their understanding of Tacky's Rebellion.
The panellists include: Vincent Brown, Charles Warren Professor of History at Harvard University (author of Tacky's Revolt); Edward Rugemer, Associate Professor of History at Yale University (author of Slave Law and the Politics of Resistance); Lissa Bollettino, Associate Professor of History at Framingham University (author of the forthcoming Slavery, War and Britain's Eighteenth Century Atlantic Empire); Robert Hanserd, Assistant Professor of History at Columbia College, Chicago (author of Identity, Spirit and Freedom in the Atlantic World); and our very own Trevor Burnard, Wilberforce Professor in the Wilberforce Institute (author of Jamaica in the Age of Revolution).
Erica Charters, Associate Professor of History at the University of Oxford (author of Disease, War and the Imperial State), will offer a final commentary.

Falling through the Net
Around the world it is the most vulnerable who are often the victims of coerced labour. Such bondage is nothing new, and yet explorations of why children are especially at risk from exploitation has not received as much scholarly attention as other aspects of slavery studies.
Three members of the 'Falling through the Net' research cluster at the Institute, James Baker, Jasmine Holding Brown and Saphia Fleury will each talk about their individual projects in this webinar. James' focus is on how heritage has been utilised to preserve and represent the experience of forced child emigration to Australia. Jasmine is looking at child rescue in Canada – the development of social movements aimed at 'rescuing' children, the agencies involved and the ideologies underpinning their practices. Saphia's research concerns migration in the context of environmental change, particularly climate change.

Modern slavery in Humberside
The Humber Modern Slavery Partnership is a strategic partnership of front line organisations across the Humberside Police area dedicated to tackling all forms of modern slavery. Over 60 agencies have joined together to fight slavery and trafficking, and their Coordinator Andrew Smith and Vice Chair Alicia Kidd explain how forms of modern slavery are found in this region.
In this webinar, they discuss the local picture of modern slavery, looking at who the victims are and what they experience, how they become exploited, how they manage to leave the situation, what happens to them once they are out of exploitation and what the practitioner response looks like. They also consider the impact of Covid-19 and how this has changed the way that exploiters operate.

Research in the Time of COVID-19
s.fleury-2019@hull.ac.uk, #FallingThroughTheNet
Humanity, it seems, is capable of grappling with just one crisis at a time. Worldwide searches on Google for 'climate change', fairly constant since the beginning of the year, fell dramatically after 14 March 2020 when the world was getting to grips with COVID-19.[i] Despite being a climate change scholar, I played my own tiny part in this trend, frequently being distracted from my studies by breaking news of the pandemic.
My research topic is child exploitation in the context of climate and environmental change. My hypothesis is that, as climate change alters people's environments and pushes them to migrate in precarious circumstances, opportunities for child trafficking, child labour and other forms of exploitation will increase. Human migration is one aspect of the wider climate crisis, which until recently held top spot in the public psyche for 'Catastrophe Most Likely to Destroy Us'. The recent groundswell of interest was partly due to Greta Thunberg's headline-grabbing emotive speeches and her adventurous exploits, such as sailing across the Atlantic to attend the climate summit. Nevertheless, public engagement in the topic has been steadily rising for years, as tales of rising seas in Asia, drought-stricken farmland in Africa, and instances of flooding closer to home began to make regular headlines.
The advent, therefore, of the compelling and tragic COVID-19 drama being played out in real-time is doubly bad news for those of us who want to keep climate change high on the agenda. No doubt, halting the pandemic will take all our efforts. Yet policy-makers and researchers alike must keep a weather eye on our changing climate to avoid missing crucial deadlines for mitigation and adaptation.
The postponement of the Conference of the Parties (COP) in Glasgow, UK, this year is a case in point. Top climate experts urged UK Prime Minister Johnson to keep to the original timetable for the meeting, arguing that the momentum for real global action would be lost if the talks were moved back to 2021. 'Cancelling it immediately might mean action on climate change gets ignored this year and people on the frontlines in poorer countries can't afford that', argued climate advocate Mohamed Adow. Yet, along with the Tokyo Olympics, the Cannes Film Festival and Glastonbury, postponed it was.
COVID-19 may be the biggest threat we face today, but climate change remains the biggest threat we face tomorrow. Our understanding of the nature of the latter relies on constant research, not only on weather patterns, but on social, economic and ecological trends. Monitoring of meteorological systems may stall due to the inability of scientists, particularly in developing countries, to take measurements in the field. Surveys on climate-related environmental damage have also been delayed, and a major five-year Nasa project to monitor storms in the stratosphere has been suspended indefinitely.
Academic research is also jeopardised by the current crisis. Uncertainties around funding, restrictions on travel, as well as the current ban on academics meeting face-to-face to contribute ideas and work together on shared projects, mean major delays to planned research and the likelihood that some potential ventures will never get off the ground at all.
My own research centres around the experiences of child migrants, including those travelling to Europe from Viet Nam. To future-proof my research plans against further travel bans, I have shifted my focus to those migrants who are already on my doorstep. With the assistance of UK-based community organisations and NGOs, I plan to trace two separate diasporas to record the experiences of migrant children. If we are lucky enough to see free movement reinstated within the following year, then I retain the option of expanding my research to other parts of Europe.
Meanwhile, two academic conferences that I planned to attend, on slavery and migration, are likely to be called off, and a PhD workshop organised by Wilberforce Institute students, including myself, will be postponed. Keeping in touch with the research community and building one's academic network, which is crucial to all in academia but particularly to new research candidates, will require creative solutions. By its nature, doing a PhD can be a largely solitary process, and this is now being exacerbated hugely by circumstances of lockdown and quarantine. Zoom and Skype are lifelines in the new social-distancing era, allowing the continued free-flow of ideas as well as maintaining a sense of community and solidarity in what can otherwise be a very lonely time.
The irony is that, while I have tools at my disposal to adapt to the current landscape, my research subjects may not. The two pillars of my study – climate change and migration – will ultimately be altered by the current pandemic. Factoring in, or perhaps filtering out, the 'coronavirus effect' will be vital to my research. For example, it will be important to differentiate between migrants' experiences before and after COVID-19 and evaluate possible changes to the climate regime as a result of the pandemic, in order to make predictions about future trends and policy needs. In these uncertain times, this will be my greatest research challenge.

It's hard to imagine that a mere CD could fulfill such a messianic purpose. But the first cut, "Scenes of horror, scenes of woe," from Handel's Jephtha, gives a sense of what she's up to ...
Opera News 1 Feb 2017
I had last heard this aria in Susan Gritton's trim, well-mannered reading on the Sixteen's recent recording of the complete oratorio. DiDonato's version is something else entirely. The sharp attack of her singing gives it an almost shocking immediacy; the hammer-stroke articulation of the line "rising from the shades below" makes it seem as if the "scenes of horror" were indeed dredged up from hell. The barbarities she describes, rather than transpiring in the conveniently distant past, could be in Aleppo or at Pulse in Orlando. By making the aria so visceral, DiDonato tells us that the act of performing music—and of listening to it—needn't be a purely aesthetic endeavor but a means of understanding the world we live in.
The entire recital benefits from the American mezzo's warmth of tone and prodigious technique—fully expected but nonetheless welcome. (The pinging staccato arpeggios in "Par che di giubilo," from Niccolò Jommelli's Attilio Regolo, all but defy credibility.) Under Maxim Emelyanychev, the musicians of the Italian period-instrument orchestra Il Pomo d'Oro play with vigor, commitment and emotional specificity, co-navigators on DiDonato's voyage of exploration."

ACORN Scandal Bigger Than Watergate
So said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) when I interviewed him recently.
The interview appeared in the American Spectator.
Here's the top of the article:
ACORN critic Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is mystified that both the Democratic-controlled Congress and the Obama administration aren't doing much about the tax-subsidized organized crime syndicate ACORN even as evidence of its wrongdoing continues to pile up.
In an exclusive interview, the House Judiciary Committee member describes the ACORN saga as "the largest corruption crisis in the history of America."
"It's thousands of times bigger than Watergate because Watergate was only a little break-in by a couple of guys," said King. "By the time we pull ACORN out by its roots America's going to understand just how big this is."
Unlike the Nixon-era Watergate scandal, the ACORN scandal reaches not only to the highest levels of government, but also to states and localities across America. The president himself and his political advisor Patrick Gaspard used to work for ACORN and the radical advocacy group has allies throughout congressional leadership who are bending over backwards to protect it. President Obama has also hired as White House counsel Bob Bauer, whom King described as "the number one defender of ACORN in the country."
ACORN has ties to unions such as SEIU and has business relationships with Wall Street. It has offices across the globe in places like Canada, Kenya, and India. Quite apart from the hidden camera videos that emerged in September showing ACORN employees providing advice on establishing a brothel and financing it with government grants, in the U.S. it stands accused of political corruption, election fraud, racketeering, money laundering, and countless other violations of the law. It is involved in major campaigns pushing for socialized medicine, green energy and cap-and-trade, enhanced welfare benefits, higher minimum wages, greater federal regulation of the financial services industry, and for a major expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act.
"The legislative branch will not investigate. [House Judiciary Committee chairman John] Conyers will not. [House Judiciary subcommittee chairman Jerrold] Nadler will not. It's not going to come out of [House Ways & Means Committee chairman Charles] Rangel's committee. It's not going to come out of [House Financial Services Committee chairman] Barney Frank's committee or from anybody in the Senate. They're going to protect ACORN." […]

In recent years a number of issues have generated conflict between residents of the Teewah community. Sunshine Coast Council aims to resolve those differences.
Division 12 Councillor Tony Wellington said a draft Road Reserve Management Plan has been developed to provide clarity for the future of Teewah Village.
"For a number a years there has been uncertainty and angst from community members regarding local road reserves. Problems largely related to the alignment of sand tracks as well as matters of encroachment," he said.
"This Road Reserve Management Plan should provide clarity and consistency for residents and property owners.
Following adoption of the Teewah Road Reserve Management Plan, a copy of the plan will be distributed to all property owners and or lease holders in Teewah within the next week. Council will communicate with owners of properties adjacent to road reserves prior to undertaking specific actions identified in the plan.

Residents say they're grateful to get the job done before rains move in again, but don't believe they should have to shoulder part of the bill.
Under Ventura County policy for waterways on private property, the landowners must supply the local match of $32,637 for the federal grant of $153,859. They've contributed a little over $22,000 thus far.
Resident Tina Abe said homeowners should not have to cover the expense. It's been a hardship for some, she said.
"We don't feel it's right," she said. "We don't feel it's fair. We're all saying what are we paying taxes for all these years?"
The low-water crossing lies in a publicly owned portion of Camp Chaffee Road, but the neighborhood in an unincorporated portion of the county collectively owns this section of the creek that runs on their properties, officials said.
That makes the residents responsible for maintaining the waterway under a late 1960s policy of the Board of Supervisors, county Public Works Director Jeff Pratt said.
"The Board of Supervisors decided that the drainage network would be private," he said, adding that converting it to public jurisdiction "would be a huge expense."
County road crews tried to eliminate the flooding by pumping out water, but the repair did not work. Neighbors said the road was blocked until May, when several of them dug a trench that lowered the water level enough for vehicles to pass.
"It took us eight to nine days," resident Michael Rockhold said. "Then the water level started dropping."
Before that, they took an alternate route on Sky High Drive, a half-mile, narrow route with tight switchbacks. Some didn't like that road or the hit to their finances before county supervisors authorized the project in September. But they urged them to get it done.
"At that point, we needed the work to start," Abe said. "The facts are the rain is coming and we need it cleared."
The project will cost about $200,000, funded by the federal government, residents' donations and staff time and expertise from county officials. About three dozen property owners who use the road are being asked to give the $32,000 match.
Unless they stepped up, the project would not be done, a staff report says.
Public works crews who cleared the mud and a contractor who removed brush and small trees completed the job ahead of the deadline. The job should come in under budget, county Watershed Protection District Director Glenn Shephard said.
Rockhold, a lifelong resident, doubts the neighborhood can drum up much more money than it already has. But Supervisor Steve Bennett, who is calling property owners for contributions, expects to come close to the goal.
Bennett called the situation "unique" because the residents have stepped up with both their money and their labor.
"It is a community that is pushing the envelope," he told his fellow supervisors before they approved the financing and environmental clearance for the project in mid-September.
This stretch of the creek filled with mud and debris after more than half a foot of rain fell during a 24-hour period, storm totals show.
The area off Casitas Vista Road was once a getaway for fishermen who caught steelhead trout. But the fishing dropped off after a dam was built upstream decades ago, Pratt said. Now it's dotted with homes.
The area is still pleasant, said Abe, who moved here three years ago with her family.
She likes the trees and the quiet atmosphere.
"We have an acre," she said. "It's shady. It's the perfect temperature almost all the time."
The project was ineligible for many sources of public funding because it's on private property and residents were not dealing with an emergency, officials said.
The residents could drive in and out on Sky High and county fire officials said their vehicles made it into the neighborhood. No accidents were reported on Camp Chaffee, Sky High or nearby Santa Ana Road over the time period, Fire Department Division Chief John McNeil said.
Ultimately, vital federal funding came through from the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Officials at the agency reported in August that they had placed the project on a list of what's called "exigency" funding because the work needed to be done rapidly. Initially, the agency had placed it on a waiting list for lower-priority projects.
Bennett credited the change to vigorous lobbying by elected officials, but a spokeswoman for the conservation service tied it to changing conditions.
Spokeswoman Anita Brown said the agency had to wait until the time for rare fish and bird species to potentially be in the creek had passed. Officials were also waiting for the Ventura County Watershed Protection District to sign the damage inspection report and show matching funds would be provided, she said.
The urgency has also grown as the dry summer months have ended.
"At this point we have to get the work done before the rainy season starts," Brown said.

Par for the Pro Shop
PrevPreviousWeekly Update, 6 April 2020
NextMeet the Peters FamilyNext
Our Golf Course is often called the "jewel" of the Country Club. And, yes, while it is an absolute beaut: it is not the first thing you see on arrival…the Pro Shop is. We decided to refresh the space late last year, and we are thrilled with the results. Take a look at our upgraded Pro Shop.
To begin with, the Pro Shop needed more space. The first step was to break down the wall that had once separated the old Pro Shop from the former accounts and administration office. This created much needed "breathing room" for the new shop. The wall was then replaced with a "trophy case", which allows us to display the Club's trophies and provide a view into the shop. The entrance was also widened, creating a more welcoming experience.
With some assistance from resident, Laura Watts, we re-organised the merchandise: our regulars like Cutter & Buck and River Island are back, with a new, branded Adidas section. We have a few fantastic new brands coming on, soon, so watch this space!
Possibly the most striking change: our new Point of Sale counter. With its deep green tiling and overhanging, golf-ball inspired lights, this is a smart spot for our golfers to book their tee times and check in.
Change It Up
The change/fitting room has moved to the far corner of the shop, adjacent to the Sports Manager's new office. This, of course, is wrapped in an eye-catching image of our Course by Chris Allan Photography.
Putt, Putt, Putt…
Our new putting green allows golfers a test run before they hit the course. While you're there, you may chat to our Pros, Sport Manager Warren Abery or Pro Shop Manager Ryan Schierhout about the best fit for you.

Did N. Korea's Kim put potatoes over Pompeo?
SEOUL - Agence France-Presse
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may have been too busy visiting a potato farm to meet US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Pyongyang's state media implied Tuesday.
The North's state media normally lead their television bulletins and front pages with Kim's doings, but a seven-day absence from the headlines, including during Pompeo's visit, had prompted speculation on his whereabouts among Korea-watchers.
The mystery was resolved Tuesday when the official news agency KCNA put out no fewer than four reports on his trip to far-flung Samjiyon county, on the border with China, most of them far more detailed than its usual accounts of his "field guidance" visits.
At the Junghung potato farm, it said, he instructed staff not only to plant high-yield varieties but also to "introduce various species good to taste and ensure the quality of processed potato foods in production and thus raise the quality of potato production".
He praised officials of the county, which is close to Mount Paektu, the spiritual home of the Korean people and claimed by Pyongyang's propaganda to be the actual birthplace of his father and predecessor Kim Jong Il.
It was "a sacred land of the revolution", Kim said, which authorities were seeking to build "into a model of the country and fairyland of communism".
KCNA did not say when the trip was made, but Kim Yong Chol, Kim's powerful right-hand man, told a visiting Seoul official last week that the leader was away for a trip to a "local region."
Pompeo was in Pyongyang from Friday to Saturday to try to flesh out a bare bones denuclearisation deal made during last month's historic summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump.
The White House had said earlier Pompeo would meet with the leader, but the encounter did not materialise and the top US diplomat only met with Kim Yong Chol.
Pompeo insisted the talks were making progress but as soon as he left, the North's foreign ministry berated him over his "unilateral and gangster-like" demands and for offering no constructive steps on the US side.
But Trump tweeted Monday that he has "confidence" that Kim would honour the denuclearisation "contract" they signed at the summit and accused China -- the isolated North's powerful neighbour and ally -- of seeking to undermine the deal.

Telesat mulls downsizing delayed LEO plan as costs mount
by Jason Rainbow — March 18, 2022
Rendering of Telesat's planned 298-satellite Lightspeed constellation. Credit: Telesat
TAMPA, Fla. — Telesat is considering ordering fewer satellites for its planned low Earth orbit broadband constellation as inflation and supply chain woes drive up the price tag and push out its completion to 2026.
During a March 18 earnings call about Telesat's 2021 results, CEO Dan Goldberg told analysts, "we either need to raise more money, or we need to descope the constellation" to keep it within a previously projected $5 billion budget.
Telesat chose Thales Alenia Space of France and Italy in February 2021 as prime contractor for the 298-satellite Lightspeed constellation. By late last year, Thales told Telesat it had run into pandemic-related production delays.
"There's supply chain issues which are causing delays, and there are inflationary pressures just across the entire economy right now, and we're getting bitten by kind of both of those things right now," Goldberg said on the earnings call.
He said it was too "early for us to say which direction we're going to go here," but Telesat has "a lot of scope" to "downsize the number of satellites" on order for Lightspeed.
Goldberg said Lightspeed could reach global coverage with 188 of the envisioned 298 satellites. The first 78 would be deployed to polar orbits and another 110 to inclined orbits. "Then we were going to supplement it with another 110" to reach the 298 satellites that Lightspeed needs to provide 15 terabits per second (Tbps) of capacity worldwide, he said.
"Even with 100 less satellites, for instance, we'll still have terabits and terabits of capacity and a very capable global constellation that … we feel good about," he added.
Goldberg said he expects to have "a real good sense" for "what the constellation is going to look like" and where Telesat stands in discussions with debt lenders for financing the rest of the project by the end of June.
Telesat, which became a public company in November, has received commitments for about two-thirds of the LEO network's projected $5 billion cost, including about $1.15 billion from Canada's government.
Goldberg told analysts March 18 it "feels like" Lightspeed is "going to be about a year late" to enter global commercial service.
"If things unfold the way we think they will right now, we'll be launching in 2025 and entering service in 2026," he said.
Telesat announced separate contracts with Blue Origin and Relativity Space in 2019 for an unspecified number of New Glenn and Terran 1 launches for Lightspeed. Neither rocket has flown, but debut launches are planned for sometime this year.
"I will say we're not the only guys getting delayed right now," Goldberg said, adding that "in OneWeb's case they've now got this launch issue which I'm sure is going to be kind of schedule impacting for them in terms of when they can enter service."
OneWeb entered 2022 expecting to reach global coverage by August. However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine put the kibosh on the six Soyuz launches the London-based LEO broadband constellation operator was counting on for its remaining satellites.
Goldberg also said he has heard of at least one other LEO constellation, which he did not name, "that is backed up because of supply chain issues."
While SpaceX continues to launch a fresh batch of Starlink satellites every week or so, chip shortages have slowed its delivery of Starlink user terminals.
Telesat reported 758 million Canadian dollars ($602 million) in revenues for 2021, a decrease of 4% compared with 2020 when adjusted for foreign exchange rates.
The company said the decrease was mainly driven by a reduction of service for one of its DTH customers in North America, and contracts not being renewed for certain enterprise services in part because of the pandemic.
Net income for 2021 fell to 158 million Canadian dollars compared with 246 million Canadian dollars for 2020.

A Single Man – Christopher Isherwood
A Single Man is a short novel, first published in 1964, by American author Christopher Isherwood. It tells the story of a day in the life of – you guessed it – a single man, George. He's a middle-aged professor at a Los Angeles university, still grieving the recent loss of his partner, Jim. You wouldn't think that it's a funny story, but this slim volume was chockers full of darkly comic moments that had me literally laughing out loud.
Buy A Single Man here.
A Single Man is different from Isherwood's other books. In his own words, it's "the only book of mine where I did more or less what I wanted to do". The others (including Goodbye To Berlin) famously drew upon his time teaching English in Germany, where he witnessed first-hand the rise of the Nazis. But it was later, in the '50s, that he started drafting a film script, then titled The Day's Journey. It was that project that eventually became A Single Man.
He sought to pay homage to Mrs Dalloway (which he called "one of the most truly beautiful novels or prose poems or whatever that I have read"), fashioning it as a day in the life of an English woman; indeed, a later draft was re-titled The Englishwoman. All of these ideas bubbled away on the back-burner of his brain for years. In a diary entry from 1962 (ten years after he began), he records that his lover, Don Bachardy, suggested changing the gender of the central character and making the story more autobiographical. Don later said publicly that he thought Isherwood had written an imagined version of what might happen if they were ever separated. He also said that the writer was "very difficult and very tiresome" to live with as he completed the novel – ooh, snap!
Even though it sounds like Don had a major influence on A Single Man, Isherwood actually dedicated it to Gore Vidal. Vidal, in turn, called Isherwood "the best prose writer in English". Take this as an important lesson, would-be novelists: if you want renowned intellectuals to say nice things about you, just dedicate a good book to them. That'll do the trick!
My Vintage edition has a nice, short introduction, written by Tom Ford – yes, the fashion designer, but also the creative mind behind the movie adaptation starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. It's a touching, personal tribute to Isherwood and his work, without being overwrought or overdone.
So, to the story itself: A Single Man begins when George's day begins, waking up, going about the usual coffee and ablutions. Right away, I found it hard to believe Isherwood was writing in 1964 – it felt so contemporary, almost timeless. George is despondent, bereaved, mourning a lover he couldn't publicly declare (remember, back in the day, even being "out" wasn't being out). And yet, Isherwood writes in such a cool and dispassionate way that George's bitterness and misanthropy comes across as hilarious and matter-of-fact.
"George feels a bowel movement coming on with agreeable urgency, and climbs the stairs briskly to the bathroom, book in hand."
Page 7, A Single Man
Throughout the course of his day, George meets and interacts with the people around him, his thoughts and feelings constantly coloured by his grief. He teaches a class, tries to skip a social engagement (and fails), works out, goes to the supermarket, has a drink with a friend, and engages in an illicit flirtation with one of his students. All the while, he tries his best not to present himself to the world as a grieving widower – because, of course, he can't, and in the eyes of the law, he isn't one. Still, his sense of loss consumes his every waking moment.
Now, what makes all of this particularly heart-wrenching (spoiler alert, etc. etc.) is that we find out in the final pages that this day is actually the last day of George's life. The plot fades to black, in a sense. I know that sounds trope-y or cliche, but I swear to Oprah it doesn't read that way. Isherwood writes it really well, and he knew it, too – he called A Single Man his masterpiece. Most people are surprised to hear that, thinking that Goodbye To Berlin or one of his other more popular works would rank above, but I'm sure he was right.
I really enjoyed A Single Man. It's a quick read, but a powerful and moving one. All of that heart-wrenching and grief-striking is counterbalanced with humour and insight. I laughed out loud a lot, as I said, but maybe take my reaction with a grain of salt. After all, I have a pretty dark sense of humour, so maybe I responded with more mirth than most readers would. Still, if you're looking for a shining gem of a book to squeeze into your limited reading time, this one would be perfect.
My favourite Amazon reviews of A Single Man:
"Sad story with no plot that just kept getting sadder. Very hard to read." – jared abrahamse
"'A Single Man' was a homosexual who lost his lover due to an accident…Homosexuals suffer a lost just like everyone else, but perhaps it may be more difficult and stressful since the relationship may be closeted" – Beverly Guardino

This sounds like the kind of thing I would probably enjoy. Man who quite unjustly has to hide his grief. Sounds like it would fit my personal biases well.
It's maybe a little outside your usual fantasy leanings Phil, but I still think you'd really enjoy it! ❤


This morning Hobart Legacy had a visit from WO1 Ken Weir who presented a cheque to our Senior Vice President Alec Young. This cheque was a substantial donation of money raised thanks to the 2nd Force Support Battalion (2FSB).
We sincerely appreciate the continued support of 2FSB and can assure all of our generous donors that their gifts will be put to great use in helping us achieve our mission to care for the families of our deceased and incapacitated veterans.
A fabulous article in the Kingborough Chronicle today highlighted the incredible support given to Hobart Legacy during Badge Week 2017.
Area Coordinator Legatee Peter Martin is the 2017 Kingborough Citizen of the Year 2017 and has been an active volunteer at Hobart Legacy for the past 20 years.
Our thanks to the generous Kingborough community and each and everyone of our selfless volunteers.
Badge Week 2017 wrapped up on Saturday and we would like to thank each and every member of the public who stopped by and so generously donated to us.
Our thanks must also go to the many volunteers who gave up their time to collect these donations for us.
Hobart Legacy has always felt so supported by the residents of Southern Tasmania and this year was no exception - Thank you!
For anyone who missed out on a particular item we now have a full range of our bears, pens etc back at Legacy House.
Below are some photographs taken during Badge Week 2017.
Her Excellency Professor The Honourable Kate Warner AC, hosted our Legacy fundraising concert in the Government House ballroom on 30 June.
The Australian Army Band Tasmania put on an outstanding concert for over 90 patrons who had purchased tickets in support of Hobart Legacy. There seemed unanimous agreement amongst the audience that the Band provided an excellent, entertaining and polished performance. Every musical taste was catered for – including Big Band pieces, Colonel Bogey, Vaughn Williams, English folk music and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Music of the Night'. We were all moved by "Nightfall in the camp" with MUSN Billy Thomson playing bugle and the rendition of the Irish Blessing at the end. Many of the pieces were arranged by the bandmaster Captain Mitch de Jonge, which added another dimension to the band's diverse musical talents, taking advantage of the ballroom's superb acoustics.
Throughout the performance Her Excellency sat on the edge of her seat appearing to take in every moment, thoroughly enjoying the whole experience and afterwards hosted the band and audience to a reception in the drawing room.
Wonderful weather and a large crowd helped to make ANZAC Day 2017 a most enjoyable experience for many.
Over 50 Widows and Legatees enjoyed a lovely luncheon at Legacy House, organised by Chair of Comradeship & Catering, L/Ross de Little, and our thanks must go to him for his fine efforts.
Hobart Legacy was well represented across southern Tasmania, with representatives attending services at Swansea, Hamilton, Bothwell, South Arm, New Norfolk, Kingston, Cygnet, Lindisfarne and Hobart.
Hobart Legacy Volunteer Legatee Peter Martin has been presented with the award "Citizen of the Year" from the Kingborough Council.
Hobart Legacy is incredibly proud of Peter. He has been a volunteer with Hobart Legacy since 1997 working hard to support and care for our families in the Kingborough area.
Peter has dedicated his life to serving Australia and has had a long and distinguished career within the Australian Defence Force. Having served with distinction, Peter left the Force in the late 1980's and then turned to helping other veterans, widows and their families through the RSL and Legacy.
Peter was the President of the Kingston RSL Sub Branch when it closed and then became an integral part of the team to get the Kingston Beach RSL up and running, which also included a Veterans' Information Centre. He then worked tirelessly within the Centre as a Welfare officer, assisting veterans, war widows and their families with their welfare concerns. Peter continues to visit the growing numbers of Kingborough Legacy veterans and widows and is there for them whenever they are in need, ensuring those who served or family members left behind are not forgotten.
Peter is an inspiration, and continues to inspire others to support our residents in need. Council was delighted and honoured to present our Citizen of the Year Award to him.
Congratulations Peter! We are very proud of you!

Convention Critic
Convention Critic is the third segment of the eighth episode of Season 2 of The New Looney Tunes Show, starring The Warner Siblings.
At a cartoon convention, the Warners meet John Kricfalusi, the creator of Ren and Stimpy. After he criticizes them with extreme harshness, they seek to make him their "special friend" and annoy the living daylights out of him.
Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner (voiced by Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Tress MacNeille, respectively)
John Kricfalusi (voiced by Billy West)
Writers: Tom Ruegger, Paul Rugg, John Kricfalusi
Storyboard Artists: J.G. Quintel and Sean Szeles
Directors: J. G. Quintel
"Hey! He can't do that to us!" - Yakko Warner.
"(after getting kicked out) On second thought. Ahhhhhhhhh... maybe he can" - Yakko Warner.
"I knew that would be better to meet Matt Groening" - Dot Warner.
"Or Seth MacFarlane" - Wakko Warner.
"If he wants war, he'll get it" - Yakko Warner.
This segment plays with Kricfalusi's critism of both Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs.
Besides parodying Kricfalusi's critism, a parody of Ren and Stimpy is also shown with parodies of the main characters, as well as Powdered Toast Man and George Licquor.
West's portrayal of John Kricfalusi is a reference to the voice actor assuming the voice of Ren in Seasons 3, 4 and 5 of Ren and Stimpy after Kricfalusi's controversial departure from the show.
Dot's mention of Matt Groening is a reference to her voice actress portraying several recurring characters on The Simpsons and Futurama.
This is the first J. G. Quintel-directed Warner Siblings segment.
The storyboards and animatic had the characters drawn in Quintel's distinctive art style for Regular Show. The final version had the characters drawn in the usual Looney Tunes/Animaniacs style.
This was one of the segments to be animated at Tokyo Movie Shinsha (TMS Entertainment).
