They paid tribute to an inspirational leader and offered condolences to Reg's family, described by his son, Carl, as "an ideas man".
Carl said the idea for IGS grew out of the Paddington Project. When Reg was Head of Germanic Studies at the University in 1973, he partnered with Paddington Primary School principal Bruce Sinclair to teach German by immersing students in German, in contrast to the prevailing "translation" method. Carl had been in his class.
"It was fun, full of props and improbably stories," Carl said. IGS was founded in 1984 and faced significant financial, bureaucratic and campus challenges.
"Dad believed rules and norms existed for the boundaries to be analysed, tested and broken" and he "took the NSW Education Department to the highest court in the land".
Describing Reg as an "education evangelist", he recalled the time at the Surry Hills campus when he refused to be locked out by the landlord, staying seated in his principal's chair.
"They picked it up and carried him out the door. Students lined the streets and parents in cars honked their horns.
"It was an incredible adventure to be a part of…
"He was short in stature but a giant in his enthusiasm for life."
A tribute from IGS Acting Principal Mary Duma
IGS Acting Principal Mary Duma gave a tribute at the Memorial Service, thanking Reg's family for the privilege to speak on behalf of Reg's "other" family, his IGS family, including IGS Board Chair Dr Marie Leech, Members of the IGS Board, Principal Shauna Colnan, staff, parents and caregivers, alumni and students.
"When we think of the legacy of this great man, which includes our extraordinary International Grammar School, now with more than 1,250 students from Preschool to Year 12 and with thousands of alumni, it is almost impossible to believe that just over 35 years ago, our School did not exist, not at all, except in the mind of Professor Reg St Leon.
"And from the stories shared by staff who were serving in those first years, and our first parents, who believed so ardently in Reg's dream – and still do – it is so evident that the little school that began in 1984 with just over 40 students could have been so easily "extinguished" – by bureaucracy, due to financial pressures and for the lack of a secure campus.
"But what a dream!
"I share with you the words of a parent, L Parsons, in a letter to the editor in the 1980s in The Sydney Morning Herald.
'I firmly believe that world peace will be achieved only when we understand other races. The path to understanding lies in being able to communicate… Reg St Leon and the International Grammar School have lit a candle at the end of the educational tunnel… It's a small start to peace, but I hope that IGS is only the forerunner and that other schools … will follow where we lead… I can only hope that a 'well-intentioned bureaucracy' does not extinguish that light until the flame has caught.'
"Staff have used the 'flame' analogy, too. Reg's passion for his dream was bright and beautiful and catching. It was a spark, and then a fire, because this professor of Germanic studies knew that children can so easily learn other languages when they are young, and that bilingualism and multilingualism could bring so many benefits for them, and he had the gift of igniting this passion in others.
'an extraordinary education'
"He convinced fine people to come and work with him and to give their children this extraordinary education.
"And we still share his dream not just of a better school, but of a better world, a world of understanding of other cultures and other ways of being, a world of Unity Through Diversity.
"Like Reg, we believe that language is a gift. Beyond the practical advantages that mastery of another language can bring, such as being able to travel and work successfully and thus to multiply an individual's opportunities, bilingualism and multilingualism offer a rare kind of wisdom.
"Communication brings understanding, and understanding is the antidote to ignorance and prejudice.
"We are proud that IGS remains a place where 'others', who might sound or look or behave a little differently, are not only welcomed, they are celebrated.
"Diversity. Authenticity. Connectedness. Vibrancy. Personal achievement – our IGS values. How wise was this man!
"We have Reg St Leon to thank for all this and for so much more.
"The former University of Sydney lecturer in Germanic studies was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2017 for his service to the multicultural community, and to education.
"At the time, Reg said: 'When I am gathered to my fathers at the end of my life, I will think, I did one thing that was terribly worthwhile, and that was starting the foreign language teaching at IGS. Those kids at IGS are the luckiest children in the world.'
"So now. I say, as we honour this giant in multilingual education, Reg St Leon. We are indeed the lucky ones, to have been touched by your magnificent vision, to have been brought into your quest for a better world. We thank you for your dream and your tenacity in face of so many early difficulties. IGS has survived, and we are thriving.
"As individuals, we must all depart this world.
"Reg, upon your departure, you inspire us yet again. What a vibrant legacy you have left for us all. Thank you.
"Unser Gründer, unser Lehrer, unser Kollege, unser Freund.
"Heute verabschieden wir uns, bis wir uns wiedersehen.
"Ihre Vision und Ihre Liebe zu allen Kindern werden für uns immer weiterleben.
"Ruhe in Frieden!"
Tributes and memories continue to be shared
"It's amazing what Reg could see, and we should acknowledge this," said English teacher Margherita Cantafio, who said she had admired IGS for many years before joining the staff in 2009. "I didn't get to meet Prof Reg StLeon personally, but I have met his dream – because I teach here at IGS.
"We are the only school like this in the whole of Australia, possibly the whole world. I love this place. I love what I am doing and what the School represents. There are many people who believe in it, because Reg is right about the value of learning languages, and right about understanding and respecting each other and different cultures. Hundreds of thousands of studies about bilingual education show that students do better. Our students are articulate and confident."
Founding and long-serving IGS staff members remembered the early days as "a new frontier", acknowledging Reg's role as an inspirational forerunner of linguistic education development.
They taught sport in a basement where mushrooms grew after rain, had to remove rocks from the playground so the children had somewhere to play, and taught with resources they had to create from nothing.
"He was a visionary who had a wonderful talent of engaging staff, parents and students in that vision."
Others have described him as a "legend".
IGS Head of Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) David Miller said Reg "seemed indefatigable" in the earliest years of the School.
"The fight to ensure the school's survival required enormous energy and belief," David said.
"Reg was quite inspirational in this regard and many people were likewise inspired and were prepared to get right behind him.
"He was softly spoken and even tempered but his determination and sense of purpose were clear to everyone who came into contact with him. Reg was supportive and trusted people. He had faith in his teachers and was loyal to them.
"While Reg was a maverick when it came to education, he was also a purist and understood the place and importance of the traditional disciplines in the curriculum. In my own case, as a young English and history teacher, Reg proved to be a wonderful mentor.
"Reg would be very proud of the fact that IGS is as accepting and welcoming today of anyone who enters the gates as it was when the school first started."

According to French color historian Michel Pastoureau, there is no transcultural truth to color perception. It is society that makes color, defines it and gives it meaning. The way we think of colors and things we associate with different colors today is very different to how people perceived them a few centuries back. This week, we explore the rich history behind a few colors and discover what each of these colors went through to reach their modern perceptions.
Although the color pink has been around the longest (Seriously, scientists discovered in June 2018 cyanobacteria with pink pigment – in Sahara Desert in Mauritania, West Africa – that they believe have been surviving for 660 million years. This makes pink the oldest-known color to humans) it didn't have a name of its own in most parts of the world. Cultures and nations around the world – mostly the west – instead referred to this color as a lighter shade of red.
It was only in the 17th century that the western world came up with the name for this shade after it became a hit among the fashion enthusiasts of the time. But some nations like China and Japan have been using this color and referring to it with a particular name for a long time. Japan actually had seven different names for seven different shades of pink way before this color was "discovered" by Europeans.
When it first came in fashion (European fashion that is), pink was a genderless color that was very popular among both men and women – especially the aristocrats. It was viewed as a color that signified elegance, novelty, and aristocratic splendor. A century later, in the late 18th century, psychologists of the time actually recommended men who were into business to have their rooms colored pastel pink for a restorative mindset.
During the two world wars, this bright color seemingly disappeared for a few decades amidst cataclysmic atmosphere before resurfacing in the 1960s in a completely different light. Big companies now marketed this color as bubbly, frivolous, innocent, cute, harmless, and of the oppressed, color that should only be incorporated into items – mainly clothing and accessories – for women as men who were "hardened" after fighting in the war for such a long time couldn't be seen in that (newly labeled) submissive color.
Since then, this color has been seen as cutesy, susceptible, unassertive, and the slavish kind of feminine by most people. But with the rise of the millennial mindset, more people are labelling and taking up this color as bold, daring, and gender neutral.
The color purple is often linked to royalty and luxury. This is because until a few decades ago, this color was exclusively worn or used just by royals all around the world. Some roman emperors and even Queen Elizabeth I had banned anyone outside of the royal family to wear or use this color. This color was so exclusively used by just the royals and the high upper class people that whenever a child was born in one of these families, they were literally referred to as a child from the purple.
The exclusivity of purple color was a result of how hard it was to make it. At the time, the only known source for the creation this color was Bolinus brandaris (a species of snail found only in the city of Tyre in Phoenicia – modern day Lebanon) and about nine thousand of these creatures were needed to create a single gram of this color. Because so much work went into the production of this color, the Phoenician traders charged very heavily for it and only the richest of the society could afford to buy this color and dye their belongings (mostly clothing) in this color.
At times, the citizens of the Byzantine Empire (the continuation of the Roman Empire in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages) also associated purple with gods and believed it to be color that belonged to the gods. Those kings and queens who believed themselves to be a descendants of gods also enforced strict rules about no one (other than themselves and their close family) being allowed to play with this color. Anyone who went against these rules was hanged immediately.
In the 1850s, William Henry Perkin, a student at the Royal College of Chemistry (London), discovered the first synthetic purple dye while he was trying to find an artificial and affordable way to make quinine – an expensive alkaloid that was used to treat malaria at the time. This discovery made the then 18-year-old Perkin very rich as a lot of companies bought the rights to reproduce this cheap way to make the color purple. This is how the color purple changed from an expensive and exclusive shade to one that is affordable.
A lot of people are still confused as to what was named first – the color orange or the fruit – and which one of them was actually named after the other because they resemble each other. According to journalist, designer, and art enthusiast Maria Mellor, it was definitely the fruit that acquired the name orange first. She writes in an article for Arts and Collections that the fruit was brought into Europe by Portuguese merchants from Asia in the 15th century. The Portuguese called this fruit laranja – distorting the original Sanskrit name of this fruit, naranga.
The word naranga later denoted both the color and the fruit orange in Sanskrit. Similarly, the word orange comes from the Anglo-Saxon and Old French word orenge whose first documented use in English was in the 13th century to refer to the fruit orange, whereas this word was used to describe the color orange about three centuries later, in the late 1500s. Before this, the color that is a mix between red and yellow was simply called reddish yellow or yellowish red in most parts of the world.
Even though it didn't have a distinct and specific name for itself, the color orange has been used throughout the world for a very long time. Egyptian artists used this color to decorate tombs as early as 3100 BC and medieval artists used this shade to color their manuscripts. This color has been around in different Asian communities for a long time too. The color orange holds a lot of significance especially in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh cultures. In Hinduism, it represents purity, holiness, and religious abstinence. In Buddhism, it represents illumination and is often worn by monks and in Sikhism, orange represents the sense of belonging to one's community.
Today, we associate orange with a lot of things like the autumn season, sunsets, and sunrises. Because this color is easily distinguishable, it's also used in things like life jackets, and in attires for traffic police.

He told this story, and I sat there and I felt: Whoooo, that is so profound when applied to what we're talking about. Roy Hudd said that Larry Grayson had told him this story, that in the days of music hall-type theater or the last vestiges of it, Larry was in an all-male show going around Britain. And he was the woman in it, because he used to dress up as a woman, Larry. The final scene of the show, or the final part of the show, was all the men ran on the stage dressed as sailors, singing Rule Britannia. You know, Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves, and all that stuff. Britain has to rule everything. Anyway, so as this song's reaching its climax, all these sailors climb on each other's backs and form a pyramid on the stage. And then Larry Grayson came on dressed as Britannia, with the gown and the helmet and the sword, and was manhandled up to the top of the pyramid of these men, you know, the big finish with the sword. And he said, one night things seemed to be going rather well, he said, until one of the sailors in the bottom left-hand corner got a cough. Right? And the cough got worse and worse and worse until he couldn't hold his place in the pyramid anymore. And he's standing on the stage at the bottom of the pyramid, this guy. You know. Ethel Jones and Charlie Smith. And in the end he couldn't hold it anymore because the cough got too bad, and he had to step out of the pyramid. What happened was, Larry Grayson at the top, symbolic of this Illuminati, ended up in the second row because the whole pyramid collapsed because one little guy on the left-hand bottom corner got a cough. The pyramid power, in one way, is all roads from the base of the pyramid lead up to the point of the pyramid, and that's how they control. The thing that I would like to connect up with here... It's so interesting what you're saying and we passionately agree with your thesis here. And one of the things which I love about your work is that it's like, in order to control, rather, one good way to control somebody is to lie to them. And therefore, if you're being lied to, and someone is trying to control you, these things are intimately connected. And we are being convinced that this reality is all that there is, that these are just animated hunks of meat that last three score years and ten, and then that's our lot. And then either we're pushing up daisies or we go to heaven or go to hell, which is another trap and another lie. And meanwhile there's some fascinating things going on behind the scenes. And, as you must have known from your own research and your own contacts and your own conversations that you've got a magical component to the controllers -- meant in the real definition of the word magic -- black magic ceremonies, rituals, sacrifices, all kinds of things that you and I don't want to know about. But actually this is part of the truth of the matter. This is what they do. They evoke djinns. They do strange things. Yeah. I was getting an enormous amount of stuff about that in the late '90s. And it's not pleasant to look at, and it's real. And then there's another aspect to this, which is something that's been coming at us quite a lot from Black Projects insiders, which is not the black magic, but the black technology, which was well stated by Richard Hoagland, who told us that he'd had a phone call from an insider who said that "They would rather lose an American city than give up their new physics". And this new physics... We were told by somebody who we met in Thailand in October; we've given him the pseudonym of Jake Simpson. We know the guy very well. He said that the state of black physics at the moment is... When I say black physics, it's like secret physics, as in Black Operations. Those guys are not all evil people, but they're on the inside and they're playing these games with all the resources and all the knowledge that is denied the public domain. Black physics is ten thousand years ahead of public sector physics, they say, accelerating away from public sector knowledge at the rate of 1000 years a year. I checked those figures with him. That's a lot of zeroes. Ten thousand years ahead! And he told us, for instance, that the technology exists to phase-shift soldiers, Special Forces soldiers, so that they can walk through walls. - I've heard that, a few years ago. -You've heard that? - Yeah. Yeah. It's an interesting corroboration. These little stories pop up here and there in different researchers. I think the thing is, Bill, that the reason for the fast acceleration is there's a critical point where you understand reality, and from that point the potential just absolutely soars. Whereas, because of the suppression of science in the public arena, they're nowhere near, yet, that line where the potential soars. So in the secret projects they've crossed that line and therefore they're accelerating away, at the rate you talk about, from mainstream scientific understanding. - That's exactly right. - And there's other dimensional intelligences who have gotten to that point. - Absolutely right. It's really a key. And ETs -- negative, you know, service-to-self ETs, basically -- that they're working with, and certainly becoming aware of the veil behind the veil. Because you can talk about Consciousness and Mind as we have here, but if you want to lay out, you know, if you want to understand what's really going on, you do have to talk about ETs and you have to talk about interdimensional entities and also... entities that don't have physical bodies. Sure. That's what I was saying earlier. We've got to do this on all levels because it's operating on all levels. The best presentation which I heard of the answer to one of the most important questions -- and I can't remember whether it was yourself or Jordan Maxwell, or perhaps both, who said: How could humans do the things that they do to other humans on this planet, as they seem to really be doing? How could we be trashing this planet, our home, in the way that we are, at the behest of the controllers? How could humans be doing this? And the answer is that actually they're not human at the highest level. Is this something that you said, or was that Jordan Maxwell? That's the thing that I've been talking about for a while because, you know, this reality... We keeping talking about different levels. This reality obviously operates on different levels. You've got the wave vibrational level. You've got the electromagnetic level. You've got the visible light level. And you've got the digital level. And when you talk about the level of advancement and potential that you mentioned earlier, it is a cinch to... if you look at where the development of Artificial Intelligence is moving now within this Stone Age level of awareness, imagine what is possible at the cutting edge of the secret projects, and even beyond that, in the realms of the non-human levels of this. They have, without question, the ability to create Artificial Intelligence that looks to our... in the decoded world, because I'm decoding you now. What you are is a vibrational field. So if you can create a vibrational field with Artificial Intelligence that is vibrating externally in the same form, range, that a human body is, this... Basically it's a biological computer human body, but what's animating it is different to what animates ours. Then I'm going to decode you or I'm going to decode this Artificial Intelligence, just like the lady in the red dress in The Matrix movie. And she's going to look just like you and me. I remember being in that ayahuasca state in 2003 and that female voice said to me: If you programmed a computer to abuse a child, would the computer have any emotional consequence for that, any emotional reaction? None. It would just do what it's programmed to do And one of the most blatant things about these Illuminati bloodlines is they have no empathy. They have no ability to empathize with the consequences for others of their actions. That's why there are no limits. You know, pepper-bombing Baghdad. To us, horrific. Terrific emotional consequence. To them, nothing. Just like a computer. And they are like computers. And to a large extent, that's why some of them are so bright, you know. My computer on my desk can work things out quicker than I can in some areas, where it's just working out to a program. It has no wisdom. It has no empathy. It has no heart or Consciousness, but on a mental level it can work very quickly. And these people are very sharp mentally. There's no doubt about it. Some of these people are very sharp mentally. But they have no heart, no balancing qualities of Consciousness. I'm convinced they're Artificial Intelligence. When I look at someone like Kissinger, I mean, I see an Artificial Intelligence that has been created by a very, very advanced knowledge and it looks just like you and me because that's the way we decode it. And you know, again, Bill, when you were talking about their rituals and what have you, what are the rituals doing? It's all about creating a vibrational field. They're creating an energetic environment that allows these interdimensional entities to move into this dimension, at least briefly. And what they're also doing is accessing through these rituals the vibrational level of reality, which is the prime level of reality, which we decode into this. So, what they're doing on one level with these rituals -- which they often do at vortex points, which are very powerful in affecting the vibrational state of the planet. The communication lines, like meridian lines that we have in the body, the planet has. If they do a ritual where a lot of these lines meet, then the vibrational effect of that ritual is going out down these lines and they're affecting us because we're being affected by that vibrational level, that prime level. So I've no doubt at all they've got technology, too, that is creating disharmony within the vibrational level of this reality, which then will create disharmony here, you know? And the thing is though... I remember that scene in The Matrix - because people read things in different ways. I read Neo's journey as becoming conscious. I think that's probably what they meant, but that's the way I read it, very powerfully. There was a point where he's in a simulation with the Morpheus character, and Morpheus is explaining about the Agents. Now, for Agents read people that you're talking about that have the ability to do incredible things within this reality 'cause they understand how it works and they keep it from the people. And people who've watched The Matrix will remember the scene because the Agent, Agent Smith, is in freeze-frame in this thing, with a gun. And the Morpheus character says to Neo: People have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. But their strength and their speed is still based on a world based on rules. And because of that, they can never be as fast or as strong as you can be. Because within this virtual reality, there are rules to the game. Some of them are called laws of physics and such like. Consciousness overcomes those laws, does not recognize them, is not entrapped by them. So as we become conscious, we move beyond the box that the controlling force is actually in. During my talks I put two boxes. One's got, symbolically, a reptilian on it. On a smaller one it's got humans on it. What they've done, and the whole foundation of how it's been possible... Because they're in a box. Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing. And if they're Artificial Intelligence, they're obviously in a box with a lid on that doesn't open. But they manage to control human society by putting humans in a smaller box than they're in. Again we come back. Symbolic of the box, they're holding the ball on the bottom of the tank. As we become conscious, we go beyond their potential, and that's what they're terrified of. Let me tell the story about Bill Birnes and Admiral George Hoover. I don't know if you've heard this one, but we'd love to tell this one on camera. Bill Birnes, Los Angeles-based editor of UFO Magazine, talked to Admiral George Hoover from the Office of Naval Intelligence before he died, when he was an elderly man. He had one of these turn-around experiences when he was very old, and he started to talk to Bill Birnes about what was really going on. Bill Birnes wanted to know about things like the Roswell crash, all of this stuff. And one of the things that George Hoover told Bill Birnes was that the Roswell crash, the Visitors there, they were time travelers. They were us from the future, time-traveling future humans, which we've heard from other sources as well. The most important thing, though, the biggest secret, was how powerful we are, the Consciousness we have, the ability that we have. And Bill Birnes' words from George Hoover were: Our ability to manipulate the Consciousness around us. And if we started to do that, as far as the controllers were concerned, we would create havoc. And this is what must not be known. It must not be known how powerful we are. Because the time-traveling future humans used their Consciousness in order to bridge these dimensions. What these disks are, according to Hoover, and also according to Philip Corso, who wrote The Day after Roswell, is that they are sort of like amplifiers and focusing devices of Consciousness, and the pilots are an integral part of the machine. And as any quantum physicist will tell you, it's Consciousness that actually has the ability to determine whether Schrödinger's cat is alive or dead, to determine probabilistic quantum outcomes, to actually influence reality. You can't do quantum physics without taking account of Consciousness. Therefore this means if you have a very high control, an ability in that realm, it sort of bridges Mind and Consciousness. Then, just as great adepts are said to be able to do, you can bi-locate. So, OK. So we'll do it all together. We'll do it in a craft. It'll help us. It'll amplify us. And this is what the crafts are. And this is why they were baffled when they opened up these things. They couldn't find an engine. That female voice in the ayahuasca experiences said to me: Why do you fly in a plane when you're only flying through yourself? And what came to mind when you were talking there, Bill, was the carry-on of that scene in The Matrix with Agent Smith, where he's saying: He'll never be as strong and fast as you can be. And then the Neo character says: Do you mean I'll be able to dodge bullets? No, Neo. When you're ready, you won't have to. Controlling your experience, you know. You don't have to dodge bullets. You're going to make sure no-one ever shoots at you. You aren't in a position where you have to dodge bullets. Yeah. And you know, people have said to me so many times over the years, right from the early days: Why aren't you dead? And it may sound... you know... I can only say what I know deep inside: They can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. If we were coming to do something, and all it took was someone to shoot a bullet and it's all over, what's the point? They can't. What I would say very strongly, and it's coming more and more into my life, there is an x-factor which I don't understand yet but I sure as hell know it's there. And it's an x-factor which is going to bring an end to this childish playground nonsense of human control. Do you mean an external influence? There's something. Something. I absolutely, at a deep level, I know it. And whenever I think about it, whenever I've been clear about what I'm talking about now, what I see clearly is the planet with a cell / prison around it, and a big lock, and a key going in. And I'll tell you a funny story. Well, not a funny story. I'll tell you a story. I was feeling so strongly about this about two weeks ago, and immediately after, I went on the internet and I'm going through, I'm looking for a picture for my talk. And in front of me was a planet in a prison cell, with a big lock on it, which said Master on it, and a key. That x-factor, that master key, it's coming. It's coming. And it's not going to come like cavalry to save everything, but it is a big factor in... I'm absolutely convinced that the end of this prison society is a done deal. I think the outcome is going to happen. I think it's meant to happen. We're now seeing, and it will go on for a while, but we're now seeing the last throes of a dying system where the Illuminati in their box are believing they're crashing the system to create something else, when it's actually crashing, ultimately, for another reason. Is there a real danger? Because you've got a cornered tiger that is at its most dangerous when it's cornered. Is that possible? Oh, these people in their panic are going to thrash out in all bloody directions. But, you know, that's just part of this transition from where we are to where we're going. And the thing is, you know, you can look at the news and you can see the conspiracy moving on. In Britain it's just getting ridiculous. But what you don't see on the news, and therefore it's not in your awareness, is how fast the awakening from the amnesic sleep is moving on. And it's moving on dramatically quickly. I'm not saying that tomorrow the sun's gonna come up and everything's gonna be fine, you know. We're deeply into a transitional period here and there's going to be a lot of challenges, and this thing's going to move on further. But the outcome, I think, is a done deal. This is going down, and then we can start to create a new society based on Consciousness values rather than the limitations of Mind. And I would just say this, because I think this is important. From my point of view it's important. I think, you know, there's a great danger that this 2012 thing is going to be a massive, massive diversion. - It's a spiritual Y2K. - That's what I call it, actually, a spiritual Y2K, myself. And me, of all people, who saw a psychic in 1990 and was told a vibrational change was coming. It's more evidence of vibrational change, the transformation! I cannot sync with that at all. What's slightly concerning is the number of emails I get, and other people I know, their websites get, of people saying: What's the point of doing anything 'cause it's all gonna change in 2012? That's like Obama selling hope, which is always the horse in front on the carousel. No matter how fast you go around, you never get closer to the horse in front. That's what hope does. What hope is, especially in the way Obama uses it, and what 2012 has the deep potential of becoming, is a holding-position, where people who could be doing something now just wait around. Again, what is 2012 symbolically? It's the cavalry coming. Hey! Hey! The cavalry's here! It's not coming. It's here. The cavalry needs to get on its horse, incidentally, and stop waiting for another one to come. Exactly. I mean it's like Neo in the place where he's at, where he realizes that he has the ability to become All-That-Is, and therefore bullets pass through him because he's no longer There-there. He's actually everywhere. I mean, I know it's words, but in a sense that is the key that we all hold. And what's happening in a sense is, with the wave, there's actually a facilitation that's happening. We've been told by various people, but one in particular, Jake Simpson, who has been on the inside, talks about regardless of how you view the future, this wave of energy is actually coming towards our planet, or you could view it as our planet, solar system, is moving into this energy. It is coming. So it's like if you're surfing and you know a wave is coming, . there's whole groups of people on the planet getting ready to ride the wave And so in a sense they have to have the key in order to ride the wave. In a sense you could say the surfboard, the Consciousness, the key to understanding who they are and what Consciousness really is and how they are united, which is part of the key. Because we are united. You see, if we know that we are everywhere, and we're totally linked up... See, I'm in this body right now, you're in that body right now, and between us it looks like there's empty space. But in reality this is Consciousness, this space is incorporated, so there is actually no break between you and I and Bill here. We're all in this sea of Consciousness. We're three tips of the same iceberg. That's why becoming conscious is the bottom line of everything. If we don't become conscious and move into these realms of understanding this sort of stuff you're talking about -- that we're all one Consciousness experiencing itself subjectively; life is only a dream; matter is just energy condensed to a slower vibration, as Bill Hicks used to say -- unless we come from this perspective, then... He told the story,and I sat there and I felt

Lindsay and I debarked from the Strathspey Railway at Broomhill station and boarded a shuttle bus bound for The Abernethy Highland Games – known as the "Friendly Games." They are held in the center of Nethy Bridge in the Highlands of Scotland on the second Saturday of August. We were excited to attend this event and enjoy its activities the whole day. We duly noted the times to return via the shuttle to the train for the return trip back to Aviemore and eagerly waited in line to enter the games.
The first thing we saw was this delightful display of young lads and lassie's competing in Highland dancing…
…followed by the beginning of the children's games, starting with a wheelbarrow race!
Next were the boys' three-legged races…
…next up – the girls!
We walked along the booths lining the field when we came upon none other than Richard Eccles and his lovely wife at the Castle Roy Trust booth. It was great to see him again. We met him last year while visiting nearby Castle Roy when I bought a square yard of the Castle in support of their efforts to restore the ancient site.
Richard offered us a 'wee dram' for a perfect preamble for watching men's Heavy weight competitions which began with the Stone putt.
While the men prepared for the next heavy-weight event, we strolled a bit further around the track getting the flavour of the games as we walked.
The next event was throwing a steel weight for distance… weights are made of metal with a handle attached either directly or with a chain.
The men warmed up for the event in the open, but when the actual competition began they had to enter a caged area for safety reasons in case the weight slipped out of their hand as they turned and turned before releasing it out into the field.
We walked around a bit more checking out more of the booths and watching some highland dancing competitions while waiting for the next heavy-weight event, Scottish Hammer throw, to begin.
Loved watching these two little girls next to us practice their dancing…
The next heavy-weight event was the Scottish Hammer throw…
While we were waiting along came that cute little boy who we saw competing earlier…
Next came the Caber Toss!
Now for the Weight Thrown Over the Bar event! I don't think I could even lift that heavy thing off the ground let alone toss it up in the air and over the bar! They started by throwing it up a distance of about 11 feet, each taking their turn. When each had thrown it successfully over the bar, the bar would be raised further up another 6 inches until it reached the final height of 13 1/2 feet! Geez!
Just after Harry Hancock won the Weight Toss, the Pipe bands and Clan members came into the arena! Yeah! This is my favourite part!
Before opening ceremonies took place, Harry Hancock (who had won the weight toss event) had the bar moved one last time and made a final attempt to clear 14 feet! Wow!
The official opening ceremonies took place by the dignitaries of the Clans and then the parade of the Pipers, drummers, Clans and standard bearers departed from the field for the events to continue.
After all that work of watching the men toss heavy things about and the parade of the Pipe Bands, I had worked up an appetite! It was lunchtime so one and all qued up for various meals. Lindsay and I lined up with the Piper and Drummers for some fish & chips and fried haggis!
While we ate our lunch at a picnic table we were delighted by the sights of all the wonderful views around us… like the majestic Pipe Major and people just having a grand time visiting with one another, enjoying themselves.
We also got to watch the competition of the Pipers and the Pipe Major practising his baton twirling and tossing.
After that scrumptious and entertaining lunch and before the 10-mile running race began, there were some impromptu races taking place before us by the youngsters with their festively painted faces. So darned cute!
The gunshot sounded and off they went running around the track three times before exiting out the field to return after their 10-mile run…one guy was even running barefoot; he's in the bottom right picture in the group of pictures below. He's really brave and hopefully has leather-like soles on his feet!
Soon after the runners left the field, however, a great downpour of rain occurred scurrying most of the spectators from the games field. Lindsay and I shared his umbrella and I offered mine to a group of teenagers sitting nearby.
Unfortunately, these two photos were the last of the day because my camera was full and dead as a doornail! When the rain ceased we realized it was time for us to make our way back to the shuttle bus to catch the train back to Aviemore at Broomhill and call it a day. What a day it was!
Bright and early on Sunday morning we eagerly headed back to the train station at Aviemore because the stunningly beautiful Caledonia Steam Engine in its majestic royal blue colour was proudly preparing for its journey down the tracks with its load of excited passengers.
Lindsay climbed into the Engine this time to purvey her beauty and power…
Soon her whistle would blow and she would head off down the rail without us.
We weren't riding that day, but rather going by car, chasing the train through the rolling and scenic countryside alongside to her turn-around destination, Broomhill.
We arrived just in time to catch her on her return trip.
Waiting at the top of the tunnel she would have to pass through, we poised ourselves for some great pictures.
Here she comes!
Oh, that was fun, wasn't it?
After the thrill of chasing the train, we crossed the old bridge over the River Spey to make our way back to Nethybridge once again.
Our next destination? The old Abernethy Church & Castle Roy.
After visiting the castle and church we ate lunch at a lovely sunny sidewalk table at Chaplin's in nearby downtown Granton-on-Spey.
For dessert, we visited another relic, the old Spey Bridge on the edge of town.
We returned to Abernethy Church later in the afternoon to attend a very special service; the 250th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service of the church!
Lindsay has ancestors buried in this church yard. We had visited it last year and had read in the newsletter earlier this spring of the celebration so we definitely didn't want to miss this opportunity to celebrate with them!
They have an old hand bell on display in the church that was used years ago (before they had a bell and bell tower) to call the parishioners to church on Sundays. After the arrival of the bell and subsequent bell tower, the hand bell had disappeared for about 75 years. One of Lindsay's ancestors located the hand bell, which had been in the possession of one of the residents' in the valley, and determined to return the hand bell to the old Kirk for safe keeping.
Lindsay was honoured before the celebration service began by being asked if he would be willing to ring the hand bell outside the church entry doors to once again call the people to the Thanksgiving Service like it had done so many years ago.
It was a wonderful service in the old Kirk, complete with a wonderful harpist, Marie Louise Napier, playing a clarsach (knee harp) and singing a beautiful Gaelic tune. (I was oh-so-tempted to record her playing but knew it wasn't appropriate to do so during a church service!) After the service, we visited with other attendees while we all also enjoyed some tea and cake.
Our next destination for the day was Dingwall to visit our good friends Pat & Ian MacLeod.
En route we passed through the small village Carrbridge and were pleasantly surprised to arrive just in time to see a Rubber Duckie Race in process as we rounded the corner!
What an opportunistic surprise we stumbled upon!
Back in the car once again we travelled the rest of the way to Dingwall uneventfully. We met up with Pat & Ian and enjoyed a delicious meal together at the National Hotel.
I especially savoured my salmon fillet with dill cream sauce, Ian his haggis stuffed chicken, Lindsay ordered Scampi and Pat delighted in her Mac 'n Cheese!
It was a wonderful meal with close friends and family in our ancestral home and the perfect ending to yet another perfect day. Cheers!

Documentary of the UK adult business with those who were active in the UK adult video business during the mid 90s just before the arrival of the internet
Published Wed 8th May 2019
Boogie Nights in Suburbia is a documentary about the UK adult business during the height of the video tape era (hence the style of the show) a couple of years before DVD and a few years before the internet rose significantly to be a threat to the way it was 10 years before the internet shaped the world as we know it today.
This is a fascinating record of the business with producers of the day in their prime like Ben Dover and performers like Donna Richardson and how new girls like Penny got into the industry as a young single mum looking for a better life through agents like Mike Rutt and jobbing pornographers like Peter and Henry who worked for publishers like Derek Botham who ran the popular top shelf magazines of that era.
This documentary remains the definitive record of the business during the mid 90's

Say hello to the newest label head – Henry Fong.
We here at YourEDM have a fond admiration for Mr. Fong, we even had him come do an exclusive mix for us back last June. His new label Banzai Records will serve what all other labels do, and that is to provide a creative outlet for Henry Fong to showcase the music that connects most closely with his personal style or mantra.
"Finally ready to show you guys a big project thats been in the works for the last year! Proud to announce that I'm starting my own record label called Banzai Records!
I've always wanted my own platform that I have full creative control over, that also really defines my sound. Sometimes I don't want to feel pressured to make records that have to fit the mold of other labels in order to get signed. We have some great releases already lined up for this year from some talented up and coming producers, and we are going to kick it off with an original of my own!"
– Henry Fong
You can check out the first track from the label now, from Henry Fong himself, titled "Le Disco."

A bustling city is exciting, for a while. But is it a real break? After a day of shopping, sightseeing and the sweet serenade of car engines you don't always feel calm or refreshed. If you choose a country break in the New Forest, you can go from shopping in Southampton to laying beside a swimming pool with a smoothie and book in hand in just 15 minutes.
It's easy to get into a cycle of rushing, where you're constantly busy, with a never-ending to do list and feeling stressed more often than not. If that's the case you need a country break, where there's a slower pace of life, where you don't need to do anything and the only thing rushing past you is fresh forest air. For mental health and physical wellbeing, a country break is what you need to truly feel revived and lifted, rather than over-walked and exhausted.
Unless you plan on visiting the zoo, the only things you're going to see plenty of in a city are cars. So, leave the traffic and the stress of parking for the working week, and instead choose the country, where the only time you'll see traffic is when the New Forest ponies, Highland cattle and donkeys decide to hang out in the middle of the road.
In a city you have all your favourite shops, cafes and restaurants and you know what you like and you like what you know but wouldn't it be nice to stroll around unique country boutiques for a change and find some really special gifts? Or stumble upon a cute local café to enjoy a newspaper and a delicious homemade cake, or dine in restaurants that are as passionate about supporting local suppliers and businesses as they are about their delicious food?
There's certainly something special about a city skyline at night but have you experienced a romantic sunset in the New Forest? It is the perfect time to take a walk, when a beautiful orange haze descends upon the heathland and floods through the trees and their canopies, casting long golden shadows and you can just feel the last warmth of the sun on your face – it is truly romantic and a sight that has to be seen with your own eyes.
A break should be an opportunity to rest and reenergise. If you're in need of a real break swap the high-rise hotel and the distant sounds of traffic with a charming manor house hotel; gentle swaying of trees and morning birdsong will be the only things you hear, and you'll enjoy your best night's sleep – an essential for any escape.
We believe it is important to be able to make any break completely yours which means getting the most from your precious time, whether you love the city lights or essential 'time out for you'. Whichever you decide, just know, the charm of a New Forest hotel, fresh country air and the luxurious relaxation you deserve awaits. After all, how often do you get away?

Mario Kart Tour is coming to Android and iOS devices in the near future, Nintendo revealed late Wednesday, thus confirming the first Mario Kart mobile game in history. The Japanese game-developer publisher didn't provide many details on the project, having only said Mario Kart Tour is scheduled to launch in its fiscal year 2018 which runs from April 1st to March 31st, 2019.The kart racing franchise will be celebrating its 26th anniversary this summer, with its last main installment being Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch, though that particular title is essentially just an enhanced port of Mario Kart 8 which hit the Wii U in 2014.
The timing of the first Mario Kart game for mobile devices may also be indicative of another major title from the series being in the works, with Nintendo repeatedly saying that its Android and iOS offerings are meant to promote its console ecosystem. The company specifically timed the releases of Pokemon GO, Fire Emblem Heroes, and Super Mario Run relatively close to the launches of major entries in their respective franchises, having later said that strategy boosted its console sales while generating additional revenue on its own. Should it decide to stick with the same pattern, a new Mario Kart game for the Switch is likely to be released by early 2020 or even sooner if the mobile spin-off hits the market by the end of the current calendar year. The project is likely being co-developed with DeNA, a Japanese entertainment company that assisted Nintendo in creating the majority of its existing Android and iOS apps.
The Tokyo-based gaming company has yet to provide an update on the status of history's first official mobile game based on The Legend of Zelda series that has already been confirmed as being in the making but missed its initial release window, with industry sources previously claiming the title was meant to be launched by the end of the last calendar year. Nintendo is revamping its mobile business to a degree in 2018, having opted to commission additional third-party studios for its smartphone and tablet titles, in addition to announcing the discontinuation of its very first app — Miitomo — less than two years after releasing it, presumably due to poor financial results.

Sesshu's Garden Card
#0710 (Travel)
Image size: 4/3/8″ x 5 1/2″ Price: $4
Sesshu was a Japanese Zen Buddhist monk/artist who lived in Japan between 1420-1506. Sesshu was famous both in China and Japan for his ink paintings. At the temple where he lived, he created this garden for contemplation which is in Kyoto. Many today visit the temple, and to spend time in the garden in silence and meditation. I visited this temple in 2006 in November and the weather was delightful. I had written a term paper in college on this artist and so enjoyed the environment where he had come to live and create.

The Philippines' leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), strengthens its domestic route network and air connections to and from Mindanao with the designation of the Laguindingan Airport as its seventh hub in the country. CEB also launched two new routes that link Northern Mindanao to Caticlan (Boracay) and Dumaguete City.
Cagayan de Oro was among the first domestic destinations launched by Cebu Pacific when it started operations in 1996. Today, the CEB network, including inter-island routes of subsidiary Cebgo, boasts of a total of nine connections to and from the Laguindingan Airport—Manila, Bacolod, Caticlan, Cebu, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Tagbilaran, Davao and Zamboanga.
"What was originally the 4th destination launched back in 1996, is now a hub. It follows the path of Manila, Cebu and Iloilo, which are also hubs. Today is a testament to our long-standing commitment to contribute to nation-building, and make air travel more accessible to Filipinos. We look forward to the effect our low fares and direct flights will have on Northern Mindanao," said Lance Gokongwei, President and CEO of Cebu Pacific.
Located in Misamis Oriental province, Laguindingan Airport serves the gateway to Northern Mindanao, catering Cagayan de Oro City and neighbouring areas, including Iligan City, Marawi City, and Bukidnon province. The airport complex currently has a 7,200 square meter passenger terminal and a 2,100 meter runway, capable of four takeoffs and landings per hour. Since it opened in 2013, the airport has become the sixth-busiest in the country, serving over 1.7-million passengers per year.
Cebu Pacific also marked another milestone—its 150 millionth passenger, after 21 years of operations. CEB aims to carry 20 million passengers in 2017. From January to June 2017, the carrier has flown 10.09 million passengers.
In another development, the carrier is now integrating the Domestic Passenger Service Charge (DPSC), more commonly known as the "Terminal Fee" into the cost of its tickets for all domestic flights operating out of airports managed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). The integration of the terminal fee DPSC across all booking systems of Cebu Pacific took effect last September 15, 2017.

The contestants must have decide by Thursday morning what song they'll sing for the following week. On Friday, they generally record the song for iTunes, and Saturday is spent doing shoots with mentors, like this week's guest, Usher.
On Sunday, they film their Ford music videos and spend Monday doing more recording and rehearsing.
In between those scheduled events, the contestants try to fit in shopping for that week's shows and do interviews with hometown media outlets.
The latest castoff, 24-year-old Paige Miles, says the jam-packed schedule can affect the contestants' song choices.
She says they try to pick songs they have enough time to work on before Tuesday's performance.

Performance car brand Abarth is calling all would-be track stars, after launching Make It Your Race, the novice racing driver programme, for the second consecutive year.
The televised challenge, the only social talent show dedicated to rookie drivers, officially launches with a Europe-wide call to find aspiring racers from across 10 countries, including the UK. Last year the series attracted more than 30,000 applicants from six countries, and this year it's expected to be even bigger as Make It Your Race opens up to look for Designers, Bloggers and Paddock Girls.
Starting with on-line Internet applications, participants can progress through a number of qualification stages until finally four successful candidates per country are invited to a 'Boot Camp' which will be held in Italy and from here seven finalists will be selected.
These seven finalists will go on to race each other in a showdown final which will take place as part of the Trofeo Abarth race series. The race will provide them with the opportunity to drive the legendary Monza circuit in Italy.
It's a long journey from application to final race but the temptation is strong and the opportunity to prove their talents will be well rewarded – a new Abarth 500 is the prize on offer for the top performer. The initial registration process runs up until 15 July 2013.
"This was a hugely successful European programme last year which was well-supported by rookie drivers from the UK," says Ivan Gibson, head of Abarth UK. "As it's based around social media – initial applications come via the Internet – we're sure MIYR will help to further increase Abarth's thriving fan base.
"Even people who don't want to take part in the events will be able to follow the fortunes of the drivers that are in it. And you can't argue with the chance to race at Monza and perhaps drive away in a new Abarth 500 too."
This year MIYR includes other competition strands to complement the driving contest: Design (design the livery of the UK racing car), Storytelling (become the series' official blogger), Paddock Girl (be an official member of the grid crew) and, for the Abarth dealer network, Mechanics (become a MIYR mechanic in the pit lane of Monza).
Abarth's current line up comprises of the racy Abarth 500, stylish open-top Abarth 500C, high-performance 595 Turismo and 595 Competizione versions, the sporting Abarth Punto Evo and Abarth Punto Evo Supersport. Prices range from £14,205 OTR for the Abarth 500 to £20,705.00 OTR for the Abarth 595C Competizione.

Once in a while, we outgrow our ragged jeans and shirt and make efforts to flaunt our feminine side. For some, it's already an acquired style, but for many, it's just a spur-of-the-moment thing to doll up and dress like a fashionista. As we tend to dress only for the occasion, it's better to pick up clothes that would highlight our personality and bring out the best in us. Well, there's no need to wait because Studio Rama is the brand that we are all looking for.
Studio Rama is the brainchild of the designer, Rama Rrebbapragada. It is a prestigious line of handmade, handloom and one of kind pieces. Each individual piece is simply feminine with a mix of soft design and high-quality fabric. The designer believes in being simple yet elegant. She strongly believes the fact that anyone can be uniquely stylish and standout in the crowd with attire that is graceful and audacious in appeal, teamed with the right attitude and style, irrespective of age and gender. The brand mostly features - Kurtas, Anarkali, long dress, pencil trousers, palazzo, skirts, blouses, tunics, lehengas, sarees, dupattas, sharara sets, gharara sets with exclusive prints that you'll find only at Studio Rama.
Long Dress
Wearing a Long dress by Studio Rama is like giving your self a debut on all the ordinary things in life. A sure head turner is a perfect way to describe the fresh canary yellow with pink border dress made by Studio Rama. The dresses are made from pre-washed Mangalagiri in 100 counts so that the shrinkage is minimal. Mangalagiri fabric has a beautiful flow once hand washed.

Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference on Deep Foundations, 2015, Oakland, CA, USA, (DFI)
Effect of Axial Compression on Lateral Pile Response: Laterally Loaded Test Pile Comparison
David S. Graham, P.E., and Paul J. Axtell, P.E., D.GE, Dan Brown and Associates, PC Michael K. Muchard and Joseph D. Bailey, Applied Foundation Testing, Inc.
Two instrumented test piles were simultaneously subjected to a static lateral load test by jacking the piles apart. One of the piles was loaded in axial compression via kentledge during the lateral load test. Both piles were constructed in an identical manner. These piles were constructed and tested as part of a construction-phase load test program for a floodwall improvement project along the Missouri River in Kansas City, Kansas. Details of the subsurface conditions, drilled pile construction, instrumentation, and load testing procedures are described. Data collected during testing of the piles are presented and compared. Potential effects of the axial compressive load related to observed differences in pile lateral response are discussed.

Silver demand in the solar industry will fall slightly this year but remain near recent record high levels, according to industry body the Silver Institute's 2020 outlook.
Demand for the precious metal across all industries is expected to rise 3% thanks to the electrical and electronics sectors, as well as the automotive market. "Silver use in 5G-infrastructure and upcoming intelligent electronics is also likely to fuel demand gains," analysts at the trade body wrote.
The U.S.-based industry association said silver consumption is being reduced by solar manufacturers through technological advances which require less use of the precious metal for conductive silver paste on the front and rear of most PV cells.
The analysts said the general outlook for the PV sector in 2020 appeared mixed but "ongoing government support for renewables to counter climate change and falling prices for finished PV modules should boost global PV installations".

Hashable combines the professional networking aspect of LinkedIn with the hashtags and brevity of Twitter. The website is currently in beta.
Hashable allows you to keep track of all your social connections (as if there aren't enough websites allowing you to do that) and also allows you to find new people to connect with. You can share this information over Twitter, you can choose to keep it all on Hashable, share it on both networks, or just keep everything private.
There's a point system involved with the site; you earn points for connecting with people and for site activity. I don't particularly care for point systems, but some may find it useful or interesting.
As with Twitter, you can also make up your own hashtags on Hashable, or you can stick to the site's most common ones: #intro, #justmet, #invite, #lunch (for documenting the time and reason you met with someone), #meeting, and many more.
I thought the concept was pretty interesting, but I don't think I'm going to be using the site. Someone else may find it useful, though – hence this blog. However, the website is in beta, so hopefully more features will be added over time and it'll become more useful. Try it out and let me know what you think! 🙂

Soooo, Its been a while
Since the last update, I've been pushing through further study and began training for a new career…
Its been an interesting last couple of weeks an even though I've been under a lot of stress, both physical and mental, I've managed to learn a few things
First of all, I LOVE COFFEE…. Almond milk based coffee, not so much.
I actually don't mind a small-medium Almond Latte in the morning to get me going, the nutty flavour is a nice, stark contrast to the norm, yet still quite smooth…. But that's where I draw the line.
I find if I have more than 1 cup a day the almond milk just makes me feel like trash. That's, of course, a personal preference.
The second issue that I have found is that I've stopped controlling my macro's and my weight has been plateauing slightly. They say that the keto diet will go in spurts, with a short plateau in between, but I'm not sure this is it. I've just found it difficult the past two weeks to find the time.

RAF Marham 2019 Tornado Liveries
On Tuesday 19th, Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st February 2019, three specially painted Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado GR4's (ZG752, ZG775 & ZD716) from RAF Marham took to the skies across the UK to say farewell to places that were of significance throughout the history of Tornado.
Three training variants of the Tornado received special 'tail art' markings including a camouflage scheme which the Tornado sported in its early career.
I decided to create these three special liveries for the X-Plane 11 Panavia Tornado so simmers can enjoy recreating the flypasts in the comfort of their own homes.
The liveries can be downloaded for free from the x-plane.org store.

'Toy Story 4' cashes in on the ageless aspect of animation
maxItemsPerPage: 10
maxPaginationLinks: 10
(CNN)— "The Incredibles" stayed away for 14 years, then picked up superhero-ing right where they left off. "Toy Story 4" and "Finding Dory" put nine and 13 years between themselves and their predecessors. "Frozen" will have been on ice for six years when the sequel blows back into theaters around Thanksgiving.
Welcome to the ageless world of animation, and the new math when it comes to sequels --capitalizing on the genre's time-defying qualities to turn sequels into occasions. And the massive returns for those aforementioned movies -- and anticipated paydays for the others -- provides strong incentive to keep revisiting such established properties, at the potential expense, inevitably, of pouring resources into developing new ones.
At first blush, the idea of animated movies practically skipping generations sounds counter-intuitive. Eight and nine year olds who thrilled to "Toy Story 3" or "Finding Nemo" have, like Woody and Buzz's pal Andy, had enough time to move on to college and even graduate from it, likely putting aside some of their more childish occupations.
The reality, however, is that these movies never really go away. They play on TV and sit on DVD shelves and are watched via Netflix or whatever streaming service (read: Disney+) will wind up carrying them, amassing new little consumers and offering parents the comfort of familiar faces. They live on in Disney parks and stores.
There is, nevertheless, risk built into an entertainment model that runs counter to the notion of striking -- that is, cashing in -- while the iron is hot.
Allowing animated properties to lie dormant for a decade or more isn't perfect from a creative standpoint. Some of the voices (see Craig T. Nelson in "Incredibles 2") strain the "no time has passed" illusion, and there's always the danger of becoming too enamored with the sheer nostalgia of it all.
Children's fare might be more immune than other genres, but tastes and times change -- especially when your original target viewers have traded in their Elsa dresses for binge watching "13 Reasons Why" and "Riverdale."
Still, being able to take the time to nurture ideas -- as opposed to rushing them -- has huge advantages. Producers also don't have to worry about actors aging out of their roles, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. amassing huge deals, and stars getting itchy to go appear in some independent movie/passion project that won't earn big bucks but might garner award nominations.
The trend in live-action, in fact, has been to churn out movies in twos and threes -- from the "Avengers" sequels to "Avatar" to Harry Potter -- while everyone's available, and in the case of child actors, before puberty intervenes.
Animation has long demonstrated that it's different in that respect -- that "The Simpsons" can run for 30 years, with Bart and Lisa never growing a day older.
The long lapses between these movie sequels, though, are relatively new, and in an age of reboots, revivals and remakes, surely music to any studio's ears.
As Pixar has demonstrated, dipping back into the well doesn't automatically mean sacrificing creativity on that altar. But there was always something nice about allowing some of its memorable titles -- "Up," "Ratatouille," "WALL-E" -- to tell those stories and move on.
Those days look to be over. Thanks to the new math, everything old will be back again (if not exactly new), the vaults are open, and the only wrinkles that age-obsessed Hollywood has to seriously worry about are the ones that distinguish the original plots from the sequels.

Despite the Court of Appeal ruling in November that cash machines should not be assessed separately for business rates, Councils across England and Wales have started to send tax demands to retailers for another £46.70 million ahead of the start of the new tax year which starts on 1st April according to real estate adviser, Altus Group.
The Court of Appeal ruled late last year that cash machines within existing properties – whether internal or external facing – should not be subject to separate business rates bills and instead fall within the overall property's rates liability.
The decision paved the way for hundreds of millions of pounds of backdated refunds for the hard pressed retail sector and confirmation that there would be no future tax demands.
But retailers were dealt a massive blow before Christmas after hopes of an immediate tax stimulus worth £381.99 million to the sector through reimbursing erroneous bills going back to 1st April 2010 were dashed with the Government agency responsible for business rates petitioning the Supreme Court for leave to appeal paving the way for fresh tax demands to be sent out as appeals were stayed.
Robert Hayton, Head of U.K. Business Rates at Altus Group, points the finger squarely at how Councils are funded for the protracted legal dispute saying, "The amount to be rebated back will place a heavy burden upon stretched Council revenues which could risk local services so the status quo is unsurprising."
Retailers were left reeling after a decision in 2013 to charge separate business rates on 'hole in the wall' cashpoints, which are classed as 'non-rateable machinery' and had not previously affected the store's overall rates bill. Extra bills were then sent to thousands of retailers in 2014 backdated to April 2010.
The controversial change was triggered by an increasing reliance on property taxes by Councils in England who since 2012 have been able to keep 50% of any net increase in business rates as an incentive to support job creation.
This "localism" inspired cash strapped councils to identify additional rateable properties at the same time that the Valuation Office and grocers were in dispute over how cash machines should be assessed.
The number of cash machines being liable for business rates tax in England and Wales then surged from 3,140 in 2010 and now stands at 15,784 on 1st January 2019 according to Altus Group.
Hayton says,"If permission is granted for the Supreme Court to hear the case, realistically, the tax position could be tied up in costly litigation for upto 2 years denying the high street a much needed stimulus. It could also lead to retailers actually withdrawing facilities impeding access to cash as they seek to reduce their rates liabilities."
In 2018, 757 bank branches closed leading to a heavy consumer dependency on ATM usage at local shops, supermarkets and petrol stations.
Hayton added, "The Government really needs to step in through a policy decision and fund centrally these rebates. Cash machines drive footfall at a time the high street is struggling against internet shopping. Banks are closing branches and people are now facing an uphill battle to access their cash yet retailers continue to be penalised for picking up the slack and providing a vital service."
