We had a few moments to sit down with Melbourne's Galliano Sommavilla. Can you give us a little biographical information about yourself?
Firstly hello and thank you to all the NeuFutur readers.
I am Melbourne (Australia) born and raised. I classify myself as a Contemporary pianist/composer and Author. Regards to being an author, I have been very fortunate to have had two cookbooks published (both with original music attached to the book). An early ear for music, you might say, my Mother used to give me empty glasses, some water and a spoon and I used to fill the glasses accordingly and 'tinkle' away! (My high chair years). Growing up, various school (musical) productions, etc., some piano lessons, performances, first band and the like.
Professional musician now for over 30 years, mainly piano solo, but also various bands, trios, duos, and some teaching. My first indie album release was in 1996 titled 'Rain in my Bathtub' (Instrumental 17 tracks) and subsequently 20 albums have followed, 15 of which are part of my Series '365', (Compose, arrange, record and upload 1 original song a day for a year!). I am very grateful and humbled to be able to do what I have done and continue to do my best. With regards to my solo piano career, I have been fortunate to have held the Monday solo piano spot at Melbourne's Crown Casino since 1997.
You are very active in releasing music. What separates you from other composers that are releasing on a yearly/biyearly clip?
I ventured on something whilst reading about someone in America who had done similar and thought, maybe, I could do, as well. Compose, arrange, record and upload 1 original song a day for a year, from May 6 2013 to May 5 2014 (uploaded to SoundCloud daily), with over 27 hours of original music produced. Now I am going through them all individually and putting them into albums, 15 full albums to date, as from May 2015. I also do small video clips (using mac Imovie) for some of my works and have produced over 70 at this time.
In a related vein, what sort of set up (instruments, recording devices) do you utilize when you capture your music for a larger audience?
How can listeners listen of your music?
I have a SoundCloud page soundcloud.com/galliano-sommavilla also on my website www.galliano.com.au you will find other music, info, recipes, dates, pics, albums for sale, gigs, etc.
You wear many hats, performing as well as teaching. How is the act of playing music different than teaching others to play?
I have taught piano for a while, I must say, having said that I only recently 'discovered' an old student of mine going back to 1997, via Facebook. He mentioned that he had his own studio now, producing and mixing and playing and that I was the catalyst in him getting to that position. I feel very privileged that I was able to help someone to pursue their dream.
A little bit of an aside, what two or three composers/artists would constitute a "dream lineup" for you to play alongside? What role does each act hold in the creation of your inimitable sound?
What does the rest of 2015 hold for you – any live dates or new sides to your online persona that our readers at NeuFutur should know about?
Fortunately I still performing live (solo piano) at least twice a week at the moment, every single gig you do is a bonus, every single gig I do I am grateful to be still doing it, I am not the greatest by any stretch of the imagination, in fact quite ordinary, but have passion! I am continuing with my Series '365' albums and hope to have another 5-8 albums done/produced/mixed/mastered by the end of 2015 bringing my total to about 25.
Also I am very excited as my new instrumental band 'Galliano and the Sommavillains' is recording their debut EP. We have already done our first video which should be available on Youtube by the end of June 2015/ July 2015.
I am also completing another book, hopefully to be published in 2015/2016.
How you garnered more fans from traditional word of mouth or through online (Facebook, website, SoundCloud) means? Have you noticed anything different between each type of fans?
I am constantly learning about social media and how it can increase you fan base, whether it be my solo or band career. I am grateful for any fan, whether SoundCloud, Facebook or any other medium (ReverbNation, etc.). song contests, NeuFutur!.
Thank you so much for your time. Do you have any thoughts for NeuFutur's readers?
Thank you very very much for reading this, I wish you all well…..Never give up, never!!


Discussion in 'European Land Based Casinos' started by Nicola, Dec 11, 2014.
Very disapointed with my visit to the 'Casino at the Empire' in Leicester Square today. They have removed all of the older generation IGT slots (Wolf Run, Treasures of Troy, Pharoahs Fortune etc) and replaced by the new super novomatic slots. Only 4 Fort Knox slots left which have Cleopatra, Lobstermania and the like.
Spoke to the Pitboss who confirmed the changes are for good. So you are now forced to play at pre-configured amounts, no changes to number of lines.
Walked out without spending anything and will not be heading back!
They have a good poker room and its a pretty relaxed fun casino imo, I wouldn't be so quick to judge simply because of the slot selection.
That said I do hear you and also Empire and Hippodrome seem to run Novamatics at 90% when the rest of the UK run them at 94%. Weird and why would you play there if so. It might be something to do with a localised kind of progressive that the novamatics have.
I've been to the Hippodrome but not the Empire. From your experience, out of the two, which is the better casino?
Hippodrome is better and nicer for table games (and smokers!). The Empire is better for poker imo.
I like the Hippodrome and they now have a winners TV wall with a list of slot winners from the previous weeks. Several £10k+ wins and a large variety of games.
It's the same at most UK Casinos now even the super ones.
Yes, that is a great smoking deck there. I'm not a smoker but even I liked the atmosphere up there. The Hippodrome poker facilities feel like a bit of an after thought, although the VIP poker area is pretty impressive. Will have to try and visit the Empire at some point.

Dad convicted of race assault on Muslim-convert daughter in Christmas tree row
Michael Bernard McIntyre was also found guilty of damaging his daughter's Koran during his stay with her in North Wales over Christmas
Elwyn Roberts
Michael Bernard McIntyre was convicted of racially aggravated assault during a row over putting up a Christmas tree, and of damaging his daughter's Koran
A row between a father and his Muslim-convert daughter over putting up a Christmas tree ended up with him being convicted of racially aggravated assault.
Michael Bernard McIntyre had been staying with daughter Gaynor at her home in Mold during the holidays.
Things had got out of hand when he said he wanted to put up Christmas decorations in the room he was staying in.
His daughter - who had married a man from Kurdistan and converted to Islam 12 years before - did not want him to, and a row broke out, during which McIntyre pushed her.
On his arrest, McIntyre, 61, was heard to say his daughter had been "indoctrinated by those black ***ts".
But at Mold court today he said he was not a racist, had no problem with his daughter converting to Islam, and as a Catholic living in Northern Ireland he had always promoted religious tolerance.

His daughter also suspected him of damaging her copy of the Koran, but he claimed that it had got damaged accidentally when water was spilled on it, and that he had offered to replace it.
He denied the allegations of racist abuse, and of pushing her.
Andy Holliday, defending McIntyre, of Gortsreagan Road at Claudy in Londonderry, said there was no evidence that his client had damaged the Koran deliberately, merely a suspicion.
It was his case that it had been entirely accidental.
His client denied pushing his daughter during the argument.
But Mrs Hall said that there was clear evidence that he had pushed his daughter and said that the Koran was a Holy book and to be treated in that way by a non believer was a "serious form of religious abuse."
McIntyre convicted and given an 18 month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £620 costs and a £20 surcharge.
He was not ordered to pay compensation to his daughter as magistrates said they believed that would aggravate the situation.

Boxing's most iconic fights
The latest instalment of the Creed/Rocky saga, Creed II, is available to take home on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K on 25th March. Ahead of its release, we look at some of boxing's most iconic and memorable bouts and discover why they are such an important part of sporting history.
Joe Louis v. Max Schmeling (1938)
The Schmeling/Louis boxing rivalry carried significance far beyond the sport. Both men had been world heavyweight champions, though Joe Louis was an African-American whilst Schmeling was representing Nazi Germany in the ring. Their first bout saw Louis defeated in the 12th round. Louis went on to a series of wins against other boxers, but he stated that he would not feel like a champion until he beat Schmeling. Their second match in 1938 gained a lot of attention because of the racial and political conflicts that engulfed both countries on the world stage at the time. Louis won the second match in the first two minutes by technical KO, defeating Schmeling. The fight between a black American and a white German in such a tumultuous time in both country's histories truly made the 1938 Schmeling v Louis fight one of the most iconic in boxing history. The two would set aside their differences in later life and become good friends.
Ray Robinson v. Jake LaMotta (1951)
This fight is often referred to as the "Saint Valentine's Day Massacre" for good reason. In a fashion that would almost seem too unbelievable for the Creed/Rocky franchise, it saw Jake LaMotta take hit after bloody hit until the 13th round, when the referee finally decided to end the fight. The two boxers fought six times during their careers, with this final match leading to a win for Robinson. LaMotta's strength and commitment to the match showed that no matter how many times Robinson hit him, Robinson would not be able to put him down.
Muhammad Ali v. Joe Frazier (1975)
Muhammad Ali has been a household name all over the world for many years now, and has been the idol to many sporting legends including Mike Tyson. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier competed against each other three separate times during their careers, the third of these took place in the Philippines in 1975. The "Thrilla in Manila", would act as tie-breaker for the two men, and famously cement Ali's place as one of the greatest sporting heroes of all time. The bout saw Ali first use his famous "rope-a-dope" technique, which was instrumental in him getting his second win against Frazier, making him the better boxer of the two.
Ray Leonard vs Tommy Hearns (1981)
Named "The Showdown," this fight took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Sugar" Ray Leonard was 25-years-old at the time, while Tommy "Hitman" Hearns was undefeated at 22-years-old. This fight carried a lot of weight as the winner would become the WBA and WBC World Welterweight Champion. Leonard was almost universally seen as the underdog in the fight but ended up winning through a knockout in the 14th round. Leonard's boxing legacy has carried on into the Creed franchise, as he provides perspective on how the franchise captures the great efforts and hardships fighters have to undergo to get to the top.
Micky Ward vs Arturo Gatti (2002)
2002's "Fight of the Year," took place in Uncasville, Connecticut between Ward and Gatti. The boxers' physicality in the ring meant that fans were less focused on who would win the fight and instead hoped for a match with a lot of action. A match full of action was exactly what they got as both athletes ended up in hospital after the match. Although Micky Ward received the victory with an unforgettable knockout that occurred in the 9th round, this fight has gone down in history as a showcase of the brutality of the sport.
CREED II IS OUT ON 4K ULTRA HD, BLU-RAY™, DVD AND DVD/BLU-RAY™ BOX SET ON 25th MARCH, 2019

The first Hagstrom Deluxe solid body guitars featured a distinctive sparkle and pearloid celluloid finish, an ingenious repurposing of materials previously used in their accordion production line. Over the years, Hagstrom expanded their line-up to include hollow body guitars like the Viking and the Jimmy, electric basses including the legendary 8 string, and Hagstrom's flagship models, the Swede and the Super Swede. Hagstrom also produced a series of acoustic and classical guitars in the early 70's. When Hagstrom ceased production in 1983, the guitars became instant collectors items, and the love and respect for these fine instruments continues to be celebrated by musicians around the world.
Hagstrom guitars boast the original glorious Hagstrom sound and distinctive style, and they are built to the same stringent quality standards. All materials and hardware are sourced from the world's finest suppliers, and technological advancements including our patented H-Expander Truss Rod and exclusive Resinator™ Fretboard guarantee that these are the finest guitars on the market.
Now, the all-new Viking is conquering stages worldwide.
In the world of jazz, this is one of the most sought-after hollowbody guitars, as it is one of the few that can blend with the rich textures of brass and keys, but when required, step into spotlight to deliver razor sharp licks and runs.


Yesterday, the Oklahoma House of Representatives met for Organizational Day, and officially voted in Rep. T.W. Shannon (R-Lawton) as Speaker of the House and Rep. Mike Jackson (R-Enid) as President Pro Tem.
Shannon, 34, is the first black speaker in Oklahoma history, and I believe is now the youngest speaker in the nation. Congratulations to Shannon on this achievement. I hope that he will lead the State House in a truly conservative direction.

Chancellor marks Help to Grow scheme launch with teach-in alongside business owners
The Chancellor has called on small and medium business leaders to sign up to a new programme designed to hone their expertise as he attended one of the first courses in the UK today (August 2).
Rishi Sunak joined a class taking part in the government-funded management scheme at Aston Business School alongside small business owners to see first-hand how it is giving them the tools they need to innovate, grow and help drive the recovery from Covid.
The Chancellor delivered a talk to participants at the business school in Birmingham on the critical role small businesses can play in boosting UK productivity. He then took part in a group activity and led a discussion about their own business models and opportunities for growth.
The scheme, which was announced by the Chancellor at the March Budget and opened for applications in May, will give 30,000 SMEs access to world-class business expertise on everything from financial management to marketing, and is a pivotal part of the government's Plan for Jobs.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, said: Small businesses are key to our innovation and economy and will therefore be an essential part to our recovery from the pandemic, which is why we are levelling up their skills through the Help to Grow schemes.
I want to bring some of the best bits of management training from around the world to help boost productivity here in the UK.
Help to Grow: Management will ensure our brilliant SMEs seize every opportunity to grow, fuelling our Plan for Jobs by boosting productivity in all corners of the UK.
Five universities have already started to offer courses – Aston, Portsmouth, Derby, Nottingham, and Birmingham City. Over August, four universities will follow – Coventry, Kingston, Strathclyde and Nottingham Trent.
The programme is being delivered by business schools across the country and was developed in close partnership with the business community to ensure it is as relevant as possible.
Leading business groups – including CBI, FSB, BCC, IoD and Make UK – have also played a key role in supporting the programme design.
According to the ONS, making small improvements in management practices can lead to a 10% increase in productivity. Analysis from the CBI suggests that boosting the productivity profile UK SMEs to match that of Germany could add up to £100bn to the economy.

NASA's InSight Mission will deploy two three-component seismometers on Mars in 2018. These short period and very broadband seismometers will be mounted on a three-legged levelling system, which will sit directly on the sandy regolith some 2–3 meters from the lander. Although the deployment will be covered by a wind and thermal shield, atmospheric noise is still expected to couple to the seismometers through the regolith. Seismic activity on Mars is expected to be significantly lower than on Earth, so a characterisation of the extent of coupling to noise and seismic signals is an important step towards maximising scientific return. In this study, we conduct field testing on a simplified model of the seismometer assembly. We constrain the transfer function between the wind and thermal shield and tripod-mounted seismometers over a range of frequencies (1–40 Hz) relevant to the deployment on Mars. At 1–20 Hz the displacement amplitude ratio is approximately constant, with a value that depends on the site (0.03–0.06). The value of the ratio in this range is 25–50% of the value expected from the deformation of a homogeneous isotropic elastic halfspace. At 20–40 Hz, the ratio increases as a result of resonance between the tripod mass and regolith. We predict that mounting the InSight instruments on a tripod will not adversely affect the recorded amplitudes of vertical seismic energy, although particle motions will be more complex than observed in recordings generated by more conventional buried deployments. Higher frequency signals will be amplified by tripod-regolith resonance, probably reaching peak-amplification at ∼50 Hz. The tripod deployment will lose sensitivity at frequencies >50 Hz as a result of the tripod mass and compliant regolith. We also investigate the attenuation of seismic energy within the shallow regolith covering the range of seismometer deployment distances.


cheapest parking lot 20-30min walk from EP/Franklin?
Hi there, looking to park a car in a lot that i wont be using much, so am fine walking a bit (30min) to get it. I live on eastern pkwy and franklin. Any reccos?
I don't have a car, but I would look for a parking lot east of Utica if I wanted to save $.
If you're really not using it that much you're probably better off selling the car, saving the insurance and parking lot fees and using zipcar or renting when you need it. For shorter trips I'd use car service.
Flatbush Ave @ 8th street has a garage with monthly spots.
Try parkwhiz.com. Put in an address, and it gives you pricing for all of the lots in the area. I personally have used the garage at 525 Clinton (between Atlantic and Fulton) for a few months and had a reasonably good experience.
Autobabysitters on Sterling between Park & Prospect is reasonable. They also have Zip cars there.
Honestly, nothing is cheap anymore. All the garages are getting torn down for housing. Auto Babysitters is the cheapest, and it's still $275 a month. Plus: it was a pain to get our car in and out from there. We left after two months. Back to the street!
ive used the lot on Sterling btw Rogers & Nostrand a few times-- 24 hour access and about $40/night for a 15-pass van. Dunno monthly rates but yeah, nothing is cheap any more-- save for under the BQE.
Thanks all. We are indeed going to sell a car as we have 2 (needed for previous jobs). But with 2 little kids it's tough to constantly try to find street parking for both cars, so garage until we get rid of 1.
There is a lot on Sterling between Nostrand and Rogers that was pretty reasonable 4 or 5 years ago when I garaged my car. They are now a Zipcar home so I'm not sure of the availability for long-term spaces now. At the time they were staffed 24 hrs so it was really convenient. I'd call about 30 minutes before I walked over and my car was always downstairs waiting when I needed it.

The Mistake So Bad, That Even YouTube Says Its Copyright Bot 'Really Blew It'
Copyright filters don't work. And sometimes, they fail so badly that they scare creators and make them self-censor.
YouTuber SmellyOctopus has over 21,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, and about 2,000 on Twitch. In early January 2019, SmellyOctopus did a nine-minute, private stream where spoke into his microphone to check how new technology he was using affected it. It was automatically uploaded to YouTube, where the Content ID system flagged 30 seconds of just SmellyOctopus' voice as belonging to a company called CD Baby. The claim sent to SmellyOctopus states that the claimant is CD Baby and that the "policy" applied is to monetize the video—in other words, CD Baby added ads to this nine-minute mic check and will get the non-existent revenue generated by that.
SmellyOctopus shared the experience on Twitter, where it got a response from Team YouTube, which read, "Thanks for flagging this. It looks like the match system really blew it on this one. We're going to figure out what went wrong and fix it. CD Baby dropped the claim as soon as they saw the dispute, so at least that part of the process worked."
When another user suggested—accurately—that one needed fix is real penalties for bogus copyright claims, Team YouTube decided to take all responsibility for what happened, saying that CD Baby didn't initiate the claim, it was Content ID's mistake.
Content ID is even more automated than you might think. It doesn't just check for copyrighted material in its database and send notices when it finds a match, leaving it up to the copyright holder to determine if they should make a claim. No, what happens is that, if a match is found, a default option chosen by the content company when it joined Content ID is automatically applied to a video before it's uploaded.
The first steps of the Content ID process are not intended to invoke the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This means that even the DMCA's weak deterrents to false claims do not apply. So companies face no negative consequences for Content ID matches hitting white noise, public domain works, or mic checks.
If a user's dispute of a Content ID claim is rejected, and they appeal, the user can end up with a "copyright strike." Every YouTuber knows that copyright strikes can lead to you losing your whole page. This means that many users will prefer not to run the risk and will let bad strikes take down their content or let others monetize it.
In a video about the ordeal, SmellyOctopus revealed that he'd gotten a Content ID match by another company with a monetization policy a long time before this instance. He disputed the claim, got rejected, and was "too afraid" to appeal it because, as he understood it, appealing meant the chance the video would be taken down and a copyright strike. So he just left it. "As a small content creator, or just a content creator in general, I don't feel safe, I don't feel my content is getting out there the way I want it to," he said. This is how the system discourages users from speaking up.
That fear isn't a small thing. YouTube and its reach is so large that people would rather censor or accept ads that service someone else than dispute them. People will re-edit videos even if there's a fair use argument just to avoid the process.
In his video, SmellyOctopus goes on to say, "There's a lot of fear when it comes to YouTube." He's right, but it shouldn't be this way.

Gators land a commitment from this massive transferring lineman
Jay Markle
The Gators landed a commitment from the transfer portal on Monday afternoon, securing the talents of offensive lineman Kam Waites. Though Waites was an unrated recruit and didn't play in any games during his freshman season last year, the Gators are already familiar with his play. He was a Louisiana recruit out of high school under Billy Napier and spent the 2021 season working with current Florida offensive line coach Darnell Stapleton.
Waites entered the transfer portal on Dec. 21, taking two weeks to consider his next destination before enrolling at Florida. He was lightly recruited out of high school and wasn't a hot commodity when he reopened his recruitment as a transfer, so the odds are good that the Gators were his hands-down best offer.
Gator Nation, let's welcome @Thegreatwaites to our family! #ChosenFew22pic.twitter.com/VBGfL4Tze1
- Florida Gators Football (@GatorsFB) January 3, 2022
Waites cuts an imposing figure, standing at 6-foot-8-inches and weighing in at 372 pounds. Without a prospect pedigree or any playing time in his freshman year, it's safe to assume that he projects as a developmental player in the Gators system. He was recruited as a center and, assuming he continues in the role, there's not much opportunity for playing time anyway. Barring a major coup, the Gators' center position is locked down by Kingsley Eguakun.
On the other hand, Napier has been very cautious about who he's willing to extend and offer to and the fact that Waites made the cut speaks to Napier's faith in his character and work ethic. Furthermore, nothing can quite simulate the sheer mass of such a large person and Waites can serve that role in practice and on the scout team.
After redshirting his freshman year, Waites will have four years of eligibility remaining as he lands in The Swamp. Napier intends to hire a second offensive line coach in addition to Stapleton, so Waites will have plenty of opportunity to grow into his potential as a player in those years.
Because of his likely role as a depth player for the Gators, this doesn't take them out of the running for another impact transfer along the offensive line. Their play in the trenches was inconsistent and a little healthy competition would certainly serve the team well.

We are officially back from vacation. Can I just tell you, it was magical! I love it all.
I wanted to share our first stop, which was Rome. We saw a whole lot of the city, and walked it all. Sore legs, but worth it! The days spent were always used up wisely sight seeing, and eating!
And pizza! Melts in your mouth goodness!
A hot day at the Roman Forum.
Oh, St. Peter's. Such a beautiful sight.
My daily dose of cappuccino!
A sneaky picture of the Sistine Chapel!
More pictures coming of the our other city tours!

#10. Go to Big Bend National Park...finally.
Mainly because I need to do homework. Spring classes = Done on FRIDAY!
I know it's kind of a sporadic list..But there is so much to do there! We've been to the Riverwalk countless times and it usually has been on the weekend, just because we're off work/school. It still works out though, and I guess depends on the time of year! Summer is our favorite because of the markets downtown and authetic Mexican food, but December is really cool too, especially with all the Christmas lights. Oh, and Bowl game weekend too - the football team and band gets on like 40 boats on the riverwalk and plays and shows their school spirit. It is really neat. I don't remember noticing all the new AF grads, there's always so much going on/to do!
Yes we did! My husband graduated and commissioned, and I left in the middle of school with my "mrs degree" since we recieved orders. He was class of '11 too and Im class of '14..Graduating instead from Liberty next year (on time!). I've been looking for other Aggie bloggers..Hard to find!! Nice to meet you!!! I'm excited to see the new Kyle Field renovations when they are done...And we never went to Hullabaloo Diner, though we almost went a few times while we were still living there. Some day soon though!! Which unit was he in the corps?? Marshall was in Trident P2.They may at least have mutual friends!

NOR Specialities supports the development of plantation farmers and helps sustain local communities across Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Bolivia by way of its range of chocolate, cocoa nibs, roasted coffee beans and cold brew coffee products. NOR trades directly with family farms and producers of its raw ingredients, working with them to develop transparent and sustainable practices.
Danish design studio Re-public worked with NOR to launch the brand into the highly competitive Western market, delivering creative direction and visual identity. This included packaging for coffee beans, chocolate bars and cold brew coffee cans. These are linked by a visual language based around the typographic simplicity, communicative immediacy and character of Agipo and its typesetting, paired with a material language drawn from the vessels and sacks of export.
Vasas Flora Och Fauna is a Finnish indie pop-group and trio of musicians. Their new album Strandgut is made up from eleven songs taken from the band's first two albums, which were then re-recorded in German. This was released on both LP and CD by the record label Startracks. Swedish design studio Bedow worked with Vasas Flora Och Fauna to create the packaging for Strandgut. Referring to the album's title, jetsam in English, this features a series of figures/sculptures that have been built from maritime debris found on the beach. This is complemented by a custom typeface of drawn and ribbon-like letterforms.

As the accessibility of drones have become attainable to the masses, incorporating them into commercial video and film production is almost standard. With the announcement of DJI's new super compact 4K Mavic Air drone, it was decided we needed to have one to play with! We rent the fly more combo pack for $100/day.

NEW Ursa mini Pro 4.6K and Panasonic Lumix GH5s mirrorless camera rentals.
New car rigging gear. Hood mounts, hostess tray and more.
It was time to have a better solution for big camera rigs so we went all in and put together three versions of new car mounts.
There will be a standard hostess tray option, a full sized 1 1/4″ pipe hood mount and 8 point suction cup Mitchell mount cheese plate with the option of using a 100mm ball adapter and an existing tripod head.
All of the mounts have the option of utilizing the oversized swivel plate for full sized camera rigs.
Once we have all the gear put together, we'll update the rentals list with the different packages and pricing. The intention will also be to have the mounts on the 4 ton all the time and can be pulled as an add on when needed.
Happy to announce we picked up our first ARRI M18. After going back and forth about ballasts I decided to go with the power gems Arri LTM combo 1800w PFC electronic ballast. The power factor correction of the Power Gems is a huge upside for this M18. The standard Arri ballast actually draws a little over 20 amps which can be problematic for many circuits that are older or have other inline fixtures within the same circuit. The EB180P Power Gems ballast has power factor correction ensuring that the ballast draws little additional energy that is not transferred to the lamp head coming in at 16amp vs 20.5 with the Arri. When on set the last thing you want to worry about is a breaker tripping or a line catching fire. With our new ballast you will have 4 amps to spare on a 20 amp circuit!

OPS wants proposals for the new restroom project at the old Island Inn/Odd Fellows Lodge site
OPS continues with its plans to build public restrooms on the Island
Inn property at the corner of RT12 and Lighthouse Road. This project is
funded by a generous grant from the Occupancy Tax Board. Sketches below
show our plans for the appearance of the completed project. OPS plans to
have construction completed early this summer.

Work is continuing on the Odd Fellows Lodge and now bids are being requested for the next phase.
OPS Solicits Bids for Project Manager
The Ocracoke Preservation Society is soliciting bids for a Project Manager for a public restroom project on the Island Inn property.
In December, the Occupancy Tax Board awarded grant money to OPS for the construction of a public restroom facility to be located on the OPS property at the corner of RT12 and Lighthouse Road (the Island Inn property).
Preliminary planning has been completed and, after its January Executive Committee meeting, OPS decided to request proposals for a Project Manager to carry the project to completion.
Information packets detailing the project and required tasks are available for pick up at the Post Office, the hardware store, and the museum. Deadline for submission of proposals is February 15, 2019.
OPS hopes to have the project operational by mid-summer.
Discussions are continuing regarding ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and operational details once the construction is completed.
**update** The project is happening! The side portions of the historic Odd Fellow Lodge are being taken off so that renovation of the center portion can take place. Exciting stuff! You can donate today and be part of this wonderful project.
Ocracoke Preservation Society Receives $15,000 Grant
The Odd Fellows Lodge Stabilization Project
Ocracoke, North Carolina, October 10, 2018 – Ocracoke Preservation Society received a $15,000 grant on September 11, 2018. The grant was endowed by The Outer Banks Community Foundation for the purpose of the Stabilization of the Odd Fellow Lodge. The grant will be paid from the Diane and Nelson Henderson Endowment Fund, the Shirley and David Doran Memorial Fund, and the Community Fund.
The goal of the project is to provide the necessary stabilization of the Odd Fellow Lodge structure. Money will be allocated to The Island Inn Committee of Ocracoke Preservation Society Executive Board, which will pursue the stabilization effort. The project will be headed by The Island Inn Committee. The Island Inn Committee consists of Ken DeBarth, president of OPS as chairman; Otis Hurd, retired accountant, treasurer of OPS as treasurer; Andrea Powers, administrator of OPS as secretary; Bill Cole, community volunteer; Ed Norvell, attorney and island property owner with significant non-profit and land trust experience; Tom Pahl, local contractor and county commissioner; and Bill Rich, Hyde County businessman, land owner and recently retired Hyde County Manager as members.
Ocracoke Preservation Society along with the Island Inn Committee would like to thank the Outer Banks Community Foundation, the board of directors and executive director for awarding this grant is support of our project. "We are glad to become stewards of this historic property," said Ken DeBarth, OPS President. "We have a lot of work to do. We need to find funds to do all the things we plan. We are looking for grants and other sources. This is a several year project but we are excited to take it on."
Ocracoke Preservation Society Museum and Gift Shop is dedicated to encouraging, assisting, advising and participating in the identification, preservation, and restoration of significant structures, buildings, districts, objects of local interest, historic charm, distinctive character and natural endowments of Ocracoke Island. Some of the projects OPS has initiated and continues to support in addition to the Odd Fellows Lodge Project are: Save An Old House Fund, The Historic District, Save An Old Boat Fund, Land Trust Fund and Collections Management including artifacts, documents, photographs and ephemera, the preservation, archival and digitization manage of such. Ocracoke Preservation Society was formed in 1983 with the intent to preserve the unique island culture and history for the enjoyment and education of the community and its visitors.

OPS COMPLETES PURCHASE OF THE ISLAND INN
The Ocracoke Preservation Society assumed ownership of the historic Island Inn property in early May. After several months of study and negotiations, OPS was able to purchase the deteriorating structure and its surrounding lots.
Over one year ago local businessman John Giagu conceived a complex plan for a village entity to acquire and preserve the property on the corner of Route 12 and Lighthouse Road. He consulted with local realtors and recruited Hyde County Commissioner Tom Pahl, Hyde County Manager Bill Rich, and part-time resident Ed Norvell (a Salisbury attorney specializing in non-profit arts and preservation) to develop a workable plan to save the property from commercial development. These men, working together, formed the "Island Inn Preservation Committee".
The Island Inn Preservation Committee presented their plan to the Executive Committee of OPS in December and OPS began considering the opportunities and responsibilities in the plan.
At its March meeting the OPS Executive Committee agreed to purchase the Inn.
The Island Inn property includes the buildings and land on the east side of Lighthouse Road and the land across Lighthouse Road including the pool, the condo septic system, and parking area for the Island Inn Condos (but not including the condo building). At closing the pool, the condo septic system and parking areas were sold to the Condo Owners' Association and the northern lot (between the pool and the brush line) was sold to Hyde County. The county will build a new EMS station on their lot.
The down payment for the purchase was funded by the sale of these two parcels. The remainder of the purchase is owner financed by the seller, Lighthouse Road Investors Group, LLC, with a balloon payment in 5 years.
Half of the monthly mortgage payments will be covered by a grant from the Occupancy Tax Board and half from the Tourism Development Authority tax board.
Much of the old hotel and restaurant areas of the Island Inn have fallen into disrepair and are beyond saving. These sections will be demolished.
The center section of the building is the old Odd Fellows Lodge, originally built in 1901. It will be restored to its historic condition and used as a visitors' center and upstairs office space. The grounds around the restored lodge will be green space with some off road parking along Odd Fellow's Lane.
OPS also plans to construct public restrooms on the lot, providing a sorely needed service for visitors to the island.
"We are glad to become stewards of this historic property," said Ken DeBarth, OPS President. "We have a lot of work to do. We need to find funds to do all the things we plan. We are looking for grants and other sources. This is a several year project, and we are excited to take it on."

Former President Donald Trump has advocated the COVID-19 vaccine in multiple appearances this month.
His comments have sparked criticism from some factions of the right, including Trump supporters.
Trump was praised for the comments by the White House.
A right-wing radio host appearing on Alex Jones's Infowars said former President Donald Trump needs an "intervention from a friend" over his stance on the COVID-19 vaccines.
Trump has praised the vaccines in multiple appearances this month. During an appearance with the former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, Trump told some people in the crowd not to boo after he revealed he'd gotten a booster shot. He reiterated his pro-vaccine stance days later in an interview with the conservative commentator Candace Owens, during which he praised the effectiveness of the vaccine at preventing severe illness.
These weren't the first times Trump had expressed support for the vaccine, but his comments prompted outrage from some factions of the right as Insider's Cheryl Teh reported.
Wayne Allyn Root, a longtime political commentator and conspiracy theorist, was one of the critics. Root is a Trump supporter and even opened for the former president at a Las Vegas rally in 2018, according to The Daily Beast.
Speaking with Jones, a radio host and conspiracy theorist, on Wednesday, Root praised the former president, saying he considers him a friend, before taking aim at Trump's vaccine comments.
"He needs an intervention from a friend because he's the greatest president of my lifetime. I love him. I will always love him," Root said of Trump.
"He's been right on everything except this issue," Root added later. "He's so horribly wrong on this issue."
Jones was also among those bashing Trump, saying on his show last week: "Hell, we're fighting Bill Gates and Fauci and Biden and the new world order and Psaki."
"And now we've got Trump on their team!" he said later.
Trump's public vaccine support also received support from White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who said the administration was "grateful" for his remarks.

LAMB OF GOD has premiered "Making of Redneck,"
August 18, 2021 Detroit Media Magazine
LAMB OF GOD has premiered "Making of Redneck," a behind the scenes look at the wildly fun 2006 music video for "Redneck" from the Sacrament album. Watch the video HERE.
In conjunction with the 15th anniversary digital reissue of Sacrament, Death by Toys has a produced a handmade Randy Blythe action figured inspired by "Redneck." The one-of-a-kind handmade figure will go to one lucky Loudwire reader. Enter now at LINK. Winner will be chosen on August 31.
"This was a really fun project for me, and working with the band was such a privilege," says Death by Toys owner Dan Polydoris.
Death by Toys is a one-man action figure shop specializing in handmade, limited edition collectibles from favorite horror, cult and retro franchises. Each item is made entirely by hand using anything from recycled vintage toys to resin casting to repurposed household items. While the finished products may have the feel and look of a factory-produced toy line, each toy is made, literally, one at a time. Death by Toys offers one-of-a-kind pieces of fan art, as well as small runs of officially licensed figures.
The Randy Blythe figure is made from a variety of toy parts, plus some additional sculpting. In line with the video's birthday party theme, the package comes complete with party accessories, and the packaging is a nod to Sacrament's cover art.
"The black/purple design of the album cover is so iconic and has such a distinct feel that I definitely wanted to use it for the cardback," Polydoris says. "The birthday party from the music video is so ridiculous and over-the-top, and I wanted to capture a little of that in this toy (without getting in the way of the Randy figure). So I included a bunch of birthday party stuff as tiny accessories for him. Plus, the Happy Birthday sign is actually made from a screenshot of the music video."
The remastered Sacrament (15th Anniversary) will contain the original album tracks, as well as previously unreleased bonus live tracks recorded at House of Vans Chicago in the band's only live performance of 2020. The album is scheduled for a digital release on August 20, with a vinyl edition slated for early next year. The "Making of Sacrament" feature, originally included on the Walk with Me in Hell DVD, will premiere on YouTube August 20. Watch the trailer here.
Originally released on August 22, 2006, Sacrament debuted at #8 and sold nearly 65,000 copies in its first week. The album spawned the popular track "Redneck," which brought LAMB OF GOD their first Grammy award nomination for "Best Metal Performance." The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in September of 2019.
In total, LAMB OF GOD has sold more than 2.5 million albums worldwide and garnered over 400 million streams. The metal giants signed with Epic in 2004 and released Ashes of the Wake shortly thereafter. The album debuted at #27 on the Billboard 200, sold over 35,000 copies in its first week and was eventually certified Gold. Sacrament saw release two years later, followed by Wrath in 2009. Wrath sold over 68,000 copies in its first week and debuted at #3. The album's lead single, "Ghost Walking," garnered yet another Grammy nomination for LAMB OF GOD for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance." 2015's VII: Sturm und Drang made its debut at #3 and put another Grammy nomination under the group's belt for "512" in the "Best Metal Performance" category.
After intense touring, LAMB OF GOD finally returned to the studio to record their 2020 self-titled album, which debuted at #1 on the Hard Rock Albums chart and peaked at #2 on the Top Albums chart. Following the expanded re-release of Lamb Of God earlier this year, the quintet is now readying for a co-headline tour with Megadeth on The Metal Tour of the Year, featuring support from Trivium and Hatebreed.

Police dog Finn who was stabbed has scooped a trio of trophies for tracking and searching at a police dog trials competition.
Brave police Finn was stabbed in the head and chest while helping his handler PC David Wardell catch an armed robber in Stevenage last year.
The 7-year-old German Shepherd required emergency surgery after trying to apprehend a man suspecting of robbing a taxi driver at gunpoint.
One of the stab wounds had perforated his lung by eight inches and in order to save his life part of his lung was removed.
PC Wardell, of Hertfordshire police, also sustained an injury to his hand.
But yesterday (Wednesday, March 29) saw the conclusion of the Eastern Regional Police Dog Trials, which was hosted by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Dog Unit at Bedfordshire Police Headquarters - and PC Wardell and Finn came out on top three times.
The two-day trials featured BCH police dogs Finn and Ciav, with their handlers PCs Wardell and Graham Ashby. They were competing against teams from Essex Police, Norfolk Constabulary and Suffolk Constabulary.
The dogs and handlers were put through their paces as they were tested on tracking, searching, obedience, agility and criminal work.
Police Dog Caesar and handler PC Graham Nuth from Essex Police came out as the top dog in the competition. They will go forward to represent the Eastern Region in the National Police Dog Trials, which are being hosted by Avon and Somerset Police in May (2017).
The pair also won the trophy for Best Man Work, which involves the detaining of a suspect.
The Essex Police Dog Section were the best team overall on the day.
The competition's overall runners up were Police Dog Ciav and PC Ashby, while Police Dog Finn and PC Wardell won three trophies for Best Tracking, Best Building Search and Best Overall Search.
Four members of the public – who were invited to bring a guest too – also attended the day after winning a competition the team ran on their Facebook and Twitter pages.
Sergeant Cray Birch from the BCH Dog Unit said: "I would like to thank all the teams for competing and making the day a success.
"I am also extremely grateful to our sponsors Slater and Gordon Lawyers, Royal Canin and Protect Signs who helped make the day possible.

Q: Java Swing : Graphic component only appears in top-left corner zone I am currently trying to realise a simple animation in Java.
I have one panel in which I would like to print one BufferedImage. I set the image location at one point and I set its dimensions.
However it is as if I was placing the "print zone" of my image in the top-left with its dimensions, and only the part of my image that belongs to that print zone is drawn as you can see on the folowing picture :

I guess it is propably one basic stuff I am missing however I cannot find any answer corresponding to my problem and I am a beginer in java so..
Here is the part of my code that is related to this problem :
public abstract class ObjetAnime extends JPanel{
protected Point location;
protected Dimension dim;
protected BufferedImage picture;

ObjetAnime(ObjetsPropriete objetProp)
{
    location = new Point(10,10);
    dim = objetProp.getDimension();
    try {
        picture = ImageIO.read(new File(objetProp.getPath()));
    } catch (IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

    this.setSize(dim);
    this.setLocation(location);
    this.setLayout(null);
    this.setOpaque(false);
}

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
  super.paintComponent(g);
  Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
  g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
        RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);

  if (picture != null) {
     g.drawImage(picture, location.x, location.y, this);
  }
}

And in the super class I have :
public ListeObjets(GConfig gconfig, GPanel jeuPanel)
{
    setListeObjets(new ArrayList<ObjetAnime>());
    panel = jeuPanel;
    for( int i = 0; i < gconfig.getObjetsTab().length; ++i)
    {
        switch(gconfig.getObjetsTab()[i].getType())
        {
            case ROND:
                getListeObjets().add(new Rond(gconfig.getObjetsTab()[i]));
            break;
        }
    }
    addToPanel(panel);
}

public void addToPanel(GPanel jeuPanel) {
    jeuPanel.setLayout(null);
    Iterator iterator = getListeObjets().iterator();
    ObjetAnime obj = (ObjetAnime) iterator.next();
    jeuPanel.add(obj, obj.location);
    while(iterator.hasNext())
    {
        obj = (ObjetAnime) iterator.next();
        jeuPanel.add(obj, obj.location);
    }
    System.out.println(obj);

}

And the object properties are :
public ObjetsPropriete()
{
    path = new String("./Images/Boule.png");
    dim = new Dimension(32,32);
    type = Objet.ROND;
}

Thanks a lot and have a nice day !

A: location = new Point(10,10);

All your objects have a location of (10, 10), so I would guess they point over top of one another. So get rid of that statement.
jeuPanel.add(obj, obj.location);

The second parameter means nothing to the add(...) method. It does not specify the location of the component. Get rid of the second parameter.
(if I understand your code) and you want to specify the location then you need to do something like:
//getListeObjets().add(new Rond(gconfig.getObjetsTab()[i]));
Rond rond = new Rond(gconfig.getObjetsTab()[i]);
rond.setLocation(32*i, 32*i);
getListeObjets().add(rond);

The above code would position each object diagonally in the panel.
The key point is you need to set each component to a unique location.

A: Thank you for you answer, thanks to this I've found out how to solve my problem.
The cause of the problem was the use drawImage at the objectLocation while drawImage print on the object itself at the specified location.
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
  super.paintComponent(g);
  Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
  g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
        RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);

  if (picture != null) {
     g.drawImage(picture, 0, 0, this);
  }
}

The Sneetches: Dr. Seuss's Critique of Consumer Culture and Classism
by Merry Renn Vaughan
Much has been written about the ways in which "The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuss critiques antisemitism and racism. Philip Nel notes that Seuss, whose legal name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, had been sketching out what was to become the Sneetches as early as 1953, when a single illustration of the Sneetches appeared with three paragraphs of text in the pages of Redbook (Annotated 164). The story's message: "And, really, it's sort of a shame, For except for those stars, every Sneetch is the same" (Seuss, Redbook 77). The story was published two years before Rosa Parks refused to yield her seat on the bus and in the summer between the two Supreme Court hearings on Brown v. Board of Education. "The Sneetches, " along with Horton Hears a Who!, as Charles Cohen notes, was "the blade [Seuss] had learned to wield against intolerance, and he was as much ahead of his fellow Americans as he had been in urging them to enter World War II" (221). In the essay "'No Matter How Small': The Democratic Imagination of Dr. Seuss." Henry Jenkins writes that the story "rendered the whole logic of racism absurd" (200). Donald E. Pease notes that "when The Sneetches and Other Stories appeared […] critics saw its antiracist theme as an elaboration of the critique of anti-Semitism that Geisel had directed against Nazi Germany in his work at PM" (118). And according to Walter C. Metz, the story "The Sneetches" represents a "compelling" indictment against the Holocaust. Metz claims the bird appearing in 1941 cartoon "I am Part Jewish" is
an early figure for the Sneetches—he looks exactly like a Sneetch … Dr. Seuss may have been surprised by his friend's observation that the 1961 Sneetches were reminiscent of war-time Jewish victims of the Holocaust, but at some unconscious level, he had merely returned to his own allegorical tradition of representing Jewish-Americans using his Uncle Sam bird, 20 years prior. (31)
The bird in the cartoon does indeed resemble a Sneetch, but I contend it is instead Seuss's version of the American eagle. The beard, as well as the stars and striped hat, are allusions to Uncle Sam; it makes more sense for the bird to be our national symbol than the beach bird that would not be created for over a decade.
What has received little scholarly attention in Seuss's work, however, are the ways in which the "The Sneetches" directly comments on consumer culture and emergent classism – all of which Seuss deemed detrimental to American democracy and his vision of civil society. In this article, I discuss Seuss's earlier work, particularly the work he produced for the newspaper PM during World War II and the editorial cartoons he produced for the Dartmouth student newspaper Jack-O-Lantern. I suggest that while Seuss's political perspectives were not without complications – where he offers eviscerating critiques of racism and antisemitism, his perspectives at times included xenophobic, stereotypical, and racist images – "The Sneetches" offers a greater indictment of American consumerism and prejudices based on class status.
In the early 1940s, Dr. Seuss used his political cartoons, most published in the newspaper PM, to speak out against Jim Crow laws, antisemitism, and other forms of discrimination. In a September 18, 1941 cartoon, for instance, he depicts Charles Lindbergh atop a huge pile of "Nazi Anti-Semite Stink." Lindbergh, who gave his first openly anti-Semitic speech in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941, is shown spreading the filth of Nazi thought across American soil. In "What This County Needs Is A Good Mental Insecticide," an essay published on June 11, 1942, Seuss shows Uncle Sam using a Flit-like insecticide gun to eject a "racial prejudice bug" from the heads of American citizens. And in a cartoon that appeared on August 19, 1942, Seuss draws Georgia Governor Eugene Talmadge, a divided state of Georgia, and Talmadge's own "national" bird named "Racial Hatred." These are just three examples of the many cartoons Seuss published about intolerance during his tenure at the newspaper. PM prided itself on being "against people who push other people around" (Minear 13). Seuss developed "the confrontational style later used to great effect in his children's books – especially the overtly political ones" while publishing with PM (Nel 41-2).
Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, however, Seuss' "confrontational style" took on a decidedly sinister hue. As fears of a Japanese invasion swept the country, Seuss propagated anti-Japanese messages in his PM cartoons and spoke in favor of the internment of Japanese Americans. Seuss' caricatures in his anti-Japan cartoons were drawn upon longstanding Western stereotypes about the Japanese people. In a cartoon that appeared in March of 1942, as in many similar cartoons of that time, Seuss likens Imperial Japan to Nazi Germany. Given that Japan had signed the Tripartite Pact with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in 1940, Seuss' relating of the two Axis powers seems reasonable. But whereas Nazi Germany is represented by the clearly recognizable figure of Hitler, Japan is rendered as an unspecified individual who seems to stand for the entire Japanese population. Moreover, Seuss' portrays this individual with exaggeratedly slanted eyes and pig-like nose. Even more troubling are his anti-Japanese American cartoons that lent strong support to internment camps. Seuss, who maintained a summer home in California, would have witnessed the racist hype and paranoia directed against Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the West Coast at this time. A cartoon showing a long line of Japanese men running all the way up the western coastline queuing up to collect bricks of TNT was titled "Waiting for the signal from home." The illustration was published less than ten weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor when America's distrust of Japanese and those of Japanese descent was greatly heightened and gave renewed rise to old racial stereotypes. Nel writes that "Seuss's caricatures of the Japanese are no more derogatory than those of his contemporary cartoonists" (Icon 55). But this can hardly exculpate Seuss, not least because many of his contemporaries were just as derogatory in their depictions of Jewish people and African Americans as they were in their depictions of the Japanese. That Seuss resisted stereotyping Jews and Blacks in his PM cartoons indicates that he deployed racist images of Japanese and Japanese Americans consciously and purposefully.
But that mind-set would disappear from Seuss' work entirely after the fall of 1953. Jenkins writes that Seuss went on a trip for Life magazine, a "fact-finding mission to Japan, researching the American occupation's impact on education and child-rearing practices" (188). In the process of this investigation, Seuss interviewed Japanese schoolchildren and this altered his outlook for life. The experience helped transform Seuss' attitude toward the Japanese people, and his book, Horton Hears a Who! (1954) "drew on his recently acquired knowledge of Japan's schools, where individualism was a relatively new concept" (Pease 93). Seuss dedicated Horton Hears a Who! to Mitsugi Nakamura, an educator whom he met on this trip, and he never again depicted the Japanese people in a negative light. Additionally, Seuss discovered his books "had been adopted in both Japan and Korea as part of the official post-war re-education curriculum" (Jenkins 188). With this discovery, "Seuss knew Horton would be used to train not only American children, but children in emerging democratic cultures around the world" (Jenkins 188).
Seuss deployed the "confrontational style" he developed at PM to combat intolerance and racism at home. World War II and the Holocaust had no doubt fueled Seuss' opposition to antisemitism, as did his earlier experience at Dartmouth College, which throughout the first half of the twentieth century had a reputation for limiting the admittance of Jewish students and whose president, Ernest M. Hopkins, declared as late as 1945 that "Dartmouth is a Christian College founded for the Christianization of its students" (qtd. in Honan 16A). Although he was not Jewish, Seuss experienced anti-Semitic sentiments at New Hampshire Ivy League school. As a freshman he found that not a single fraternity expressed any interest in him. "With my black hair and long nose," Seuss said, "I was supposed to be Jewish. It took a year and a half before word got around that I wasn't" (qtd. in Morgan 27). Seuss's ability to deflect painful jibes with sarcasm and biting humor sparked his interest in joining Dartmouth's student magazine, The Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern, as a satirical cartoonist.
The racial climate of the late 1950s and early 1960s in the United States was tumultuous and increasingly galvanized the nation. In 1954, the Supreme Court made the landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, stating that state laws that segregated students based on race were unconstitutional and that separate was not equal. Just one year later, Rosa Parks refused to stand on the bus and give her seat to a white man. Each of these situations drew national attention and caused Americans to examine the artificiality of separating people by the color of their skin. In September 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower deployed federal troops to desegregate Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas after Governor Orval Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to keep nine black students from entering the school. "By the end of the decade," William and Nancy Young conclude, "the nation found itself poised, reluctantly or not, to enter some of the greatest social changes of the century" (xx, 9). On February 1, 1960 a sit-in at the Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina was the first of what was to become more than a decade of peaceful demonstrations. Inspired by the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., the activities of civil rights groups such as the Freedom Riders drew increased attention to the discrimination of people based on the color of their skin.
"The Sneetches" tells the story of a society of ostrich-like yellow birds that live on a beach. Some Sneetches have stars on their bellies and some do not. The Star-Belly Sneetches are "a distinct and dominant group," an elite caste in an "oppressive social structure" (Bracey 83, Klaassen and Klaassen 123). What some critics see as "The Sneetches" generalized condemnation of race and ethnic prejudices appears tied to a fairly specific critique of class-based social inequalities. The Sneetch society is completely homogeneous save for the presence or absence of stars on their bellies. As Johann and Mari-Gretta Klaassen explain:
'Because they had stars,' the Star-Belly Sneetches (SBSes) refused social contact with Plain-Belly Sneetches (PBSes), and appear to have control over the Poozer's share of the resources on the beaches—SBS children excluded PBS children from their ball games; SBS adults excluded PBS adults from their 'frankfurter roasts/Or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts.' These exclusionary social practices were systematic and long standing. (122)
In a show of conspicuous consumption, the Star-Belly Sneetches engage in leisure activities such as playing ball (with the ball featuring a star no less) and roasting hot dogs, while the Sneetches who have no stars are left to stand apart and watch. The Sneetches treat the stars as a type of arti-factual communication that is similar to that of wearing name brand clothing. Although wearing brand name clothing affords no legal privileges, it is often perceived as signaling an elevated social status. By wearing distinctive logos, wears intend to let the world know they are well-off enough to afford the brand. The French sportswear company, Lacoste, was among the first to affix a logo – the distinctive green crocodile – to its garments, which quickly became status symbols. In 1952, Lacoste began exporting their apparel to the United States (Lacoste), where the wealthy would wear them during their leisure pursuits. Ads began to appear toting their signature Izod polo with crocodile on the breast as "the shirt of champions." That the green color of the Lacoste crocodile is of a nearly identical shade of green as the stars on the Sneetches' bellies further supports a reading that detects a deep strain of consumer culture criticism in "The Sneetches."
Further evidence of the reading rests in the fact that the Sneetch stars can be removed and replaced for the right price. And the villain who supplies the means comes in a character drawing on ethnic stereotypes. Sylvester McMonkey McBean looks a little like a chimpanzee, wears a green hat and bow-tie, and has a name mo st definitely has a ring of Irishness to it. He "gives an immediate impression of deviousness" (Bracey 85). Metz notes the racial connections: "[T]he positioning of the Irish capitalist as a subhuman 'McMonkey' relies on the same sort of stereotyping that fueled early 20th century antisemitism, a topic that was frequently a major target for the German-American Geisel" (28). Though Seuss said "The Sneetches" was "inspired by antisemitism" (qtd. in Fensch, Sneetches 118), he was certainly not above making racial slurs of his own.
McBean provides the plain-bellied Sneetches with a "magical" solution in a machine that puts stars on their bellies and make them appear like the Star-Belly Sneetches. Once the plain-bellied Sneetches have stars on their bellies, they want to be treated "exactly like" the star-bellied Sneetches (Seuss, Sneetches 12). As Klaassen and Klaassen explain, "The machine erased the external differences between the PBSes and the SBSes—suddenly, all the Sneetches had stars" (124). The external markers of all the Sneetches were suddenly the same as this had been the only thing differentiating the Sneetches in their minds. According to Klaassens and Klaassen, "The sudden shift that the 'very peculiar machine' brought about in Sneetch society presented the PBSes with an option they had never had before: they were able to shift from one group to the other" (124). Once the plain-bellied Sneetches acquire the external symbol of privilege, the presence of "stars upon thars," those who had been in power, the original star-bellied Sneetches, turn to McBean, who uses another machine to remove stars from their bellies and declare the elitists are Sneetches sans stars. Pretty soon, confusion reigns with Sneetches running in and out of machines until no one is sure who was an original Star-Belly Sneetch and who was not.
McBean's machines allow the Sneetches "to alter and manipulate caste markers, until nobody can be sure who is elite and who is subordinate" (Jenkins 200). After a while, it is pretty clear the only one coming out ahead is the capitalist and inventor McBean. As Mensch and Freeman note, "the scene turns into an orgy of capitalist exploitation, with constant streams of Sneetches paying to enter one machine to be starred and then to enter another to be un-starred, while McBean stands grinning in the center, in front of an ever-growing mountain of cash" (34). The Sneetches run from one machine to the next and McBean, who stops interacting with them altogether, merely stands by as the birds literally throw their money at him. In the end, the Sneetches are unified by their "shared victimization," that is, a "complete economic destruction of Sneetch society" when McBean drives away with all of their money. Having been reduced to common economic powerlessness, the Sneetches finally realize a unitary class consciousness" (113). Only total economic destruction brings the two types of Sneetch together. Only absent capital can the Sneetches learn to accept each other.
The enduring value of "The Sneetches" is in the way it seems to link the constructiveness of race and ethnic categories to economic privileges, yet it falls short in offering strategies on how persistent discriminatory practices may be effectively resisted. Shared economic exploitation may result in something like "a unitary class consciousness," as Mensch and Freeman suggest, but it seems highly unlikely that this will erase racial and ethnic difference as well. In her 2010 article "Emerging Themes on Aspects of Social Class and the Discourse of White Privilege," Jennifer Heller argues that a
more comprehensive understanding of racial advantage is achieved when theorists indicate how whiteness leads to the manifestations of materially based advantages as it interacts with other social features such as race, class and gender, which shape identity and life chances. (112).
"Sneetches" does not wrestle with race or ethnic difference – or multiculturalism or the political approaches employed by Black, Asian, Native American or Latino people – because the physical differences in the Sneetches are minor and removable; the society is utterly homogeneous save for the salesman McBean and the bird who observes the story but does not interact. As Michael Kazin notes, "The Sneetches" show Seuss as "a typical 1930s/40s Liberal in that he cared less about multiculturalism than he did about the more fundamental American ideals of freedom, democracy, and equality" (qtd. in Wood).
Although he found antisemitism and Jim Crow laws reprehensible (or, perhaps, more accurately, un-American), Seuss had a blind spot when it came to people of Japanese descent, whom he once depicted stereotypically in his political cartoons. A 1953 trip changed his views on the Japanese people. He met educators and children alike and shifted his perspective. He understood that books could be used to educate not only American school children but those in emerging democracies, as well. Seuss' post-war books therefore include the social and political messages he saw as vital in educating an effective citizen. Although problematic with regard to its apparent endorsement of assimilation and its use of ethnic stereotypes, "The Sneetches" presents a sustained critique of the perils of consumerism and classism, and about the construction of difference and our still very pronounced inability to deal with it. The text is an example of radical children's literature as it does "not guarantee a better future for American children, but […] challenge[s] them to think critically and creatively about their choices" (Zipes, Tales ix). As Julia Adams notes in "Class Analysis and Culture: What the Sneetches Can Teach Us": "The ending of "The Sneetches" is a sly vision of utopia, in which the Sneetches decide to be just one big happy mutually indistinguishable group" (11). The Sneetches learn a lesson that Seuss hopes everyone will learn – to be inclusive and accepting of all others in spite of how they look.

This podcast looks at the short linguistic history that exists between English and Yolngu Matha. It explains the difference between tangible and intangible language and how this affects Yolngu education. It also discusses the lack of useful dictionaries for Yolngu Matha to English, specifically for academic and intellectual language.


A meta-analysis of calcium and bone mass found that daily supplementation of 500 to 1,500 mg of a well-absorbed form of calcium promotes bone mass. Magnesium, present in all cells of the body, is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes, including energy production, and is essential for maintaining normal bone density, cardiac rhythmicity, pulmonary function, muscle function, and blood glucose regulation.
Directions: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.
Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate-Malate) 135 mg.
this is a great product, I have used this for 2 years now,I would record for any to use if the need a Magnesium, other produce have fillers in them, and you spent lots of money, this product does what it said it does.


An album of all Original tunes I recorded at John Kilgore's Studio in NYC with my first real band! They're all excellent players and great friends and there are some Bright Moments on this one! Personel: Aki Ishiguro: Guitar Nick Jozwiak: Bass Dave Cole: Drums Steve Ruel: Sax (Tracks 1,4, and 6) ...and Moi. Enjoy!


My daughter is now at an age where she is showing an interest in what she wants to wear in the morning. No longer can I just get her to wear anything, which makes the days when we need to be out of the house by 8am for nursery a little tricky. She's learning and starting to show her independence through unicorn fashion and Peppa Pig knickers.
On the days where I'm less inclined for her to wear her dog costume to the park or her Fireman Sam outfit to softplay, she can express her fashion creativity with the very latest Off the Hook dolls. And wow what a cute toy they are.
There are six dolls to collect Mila, Jenni, Vivian, Alexis, Naia and Brooklyn, and we have Naia, Vivian and Mila as part of our collection. Each doll comes with a range of different tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories, and it is as simple as unhooking the top and the bottom to create a new outfit. There are literally hundreds of outfits that your child can put together, and the more dolls you collect, the more outfits you can make, as each doll comes with a different wardrobe.
What I also love about Off The Hook dolls is how they encourage your child to play with small and fiddly pieces; developing their fine motor skills. My daughter will quite happily sit swapping the tops, legs and shoes, and the look of concentration on her face is priceless. As she's only three she does sometimes find taking the doll a little tricky, but she will get their with practise and stronger fingers.
We really love our Off The Hooks dolls, they would make a brilliant gift or present. I've not seen my daughter play with a toy as much as this, and that is saying something.
The dolls are available to buy from Amazon and Smyths Toy Store, and I hope that your child loves them as much as mine does.
Disclosure: We were gifted these Off The Hook dolls in exchange for this blog post review.

20 Mar, 2012 How does it work?
Antacids are a type of medication that is taken to relieve the symptoms of heartburn or acid indigestion. The most common form of tablet antacids are taken after being dissolved in water. However, ready-to-drink liquid preparations are also popular. Some of the best known brands of antacids are Alka-Seltzer, Maalox, Gaviscon, Rolaids, Tums and Mylanta. The formula for each brand of antacid can vary, but calcium carbonate, milk of magnesia, aluminium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate are commonly used. Continue reading if you want to know how antacids help to relieve heartburn, reflux and acid indigestion.
How do antacids tablets work in the stomach?
The stomach has an muscle at the entrance called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that opens to allow food into the stomach. The stomach then releases a strong acid to begin breaking down the food you have eaten. Sometimes the LES doesn't close tightly or opens too often and allows some of this strong stomach acid back into the esophagus, which causes the burning sensation. The ingredients of antacids are made of a specific alkali, which create an acid-alkali reaction with the strong stomach acid to weaken this acid and create a more neutral environment (neither acidic or alkaline) in the stomach. Basically, antacids neutralize this acid so that it is not strong enough to continue to cause the burning sensation. They are fast acting and usually relieve the symptoms quickly. However, if you are experiencing ongoing or reoccurring symptoms it is best to seek medical advice.
