Zeotrope
A Zeotrope is a device that creates the illusion of motion from a highly succession of static pictures. It is a cylinder with vertically slits in the sides, with a band of images from a set of sequenced pictures. The slits scans the images preventing them form blurring together and when it was spun at the right speed the images appeared to be moving.
It generally focuses on the movements that repeats themselves like walking or animal movements. At first it looks like just plain images inside the cylinder, but once it started spinning it turns into something magical if you look through the little slots.
The Zeotrope worked similarly to an earlier animation device called the Phenakiscope. This used the persistance of vision principle to create an illusion.

Frankie Boyle
As in concerning to the insenstive joke made by comedian Frankie Boyle about Jordon's disabled son Harvey Price, I am outraged at the way he discriminated against a helpless child who can't defend himself. Although the joke was aimed at celebrities and their publicity- seeking ways, it still did not give him the right to be so ignorant and cold hearted againts the disabled.
According to Ofcom the joke made by the comedian which was aired on Channel 4 "controvened the program code, channel 4 continued to doge giving a formal apology" There should be boundaries on what jokes are aired on national televison and I believe a formal statement of apology should be made to Harvey and all the other disabled by Channel 4 and Frankie Boyle.
Even though, he defended himself later on by claiming that he was only highlighting the life style of the well know celebrity Jordon because of the way she exploits her son Harvey, it is of no value to either Harvey or Jordon because a child is not obligated to pay for the action of his/ her parent(s).
Ofcom has ruled that the material in question posed a significant cause to offend. In addition, the joke also mocked the mental and phsical disablities of a child who has not chosen to be of any interest to the public because of the reputation of his mother. Harvey may be disabled but he has the same rights and feelings of any other human being on this planet, and he should not be singled out because of his condition. Personally, I think Frankie Boyle should be banned from televison all together because he is a bully and he only pick on people who are unable to fight back.

David Starkey
Dear BBC Headquaters,
I am writing this complaint in regards to the David Starkey's recent racist comment on News Night about the recent riots which occured couple months back. I believe the debate was held unfairly and very poorly. Such comments should have never been aired out on national television. His comments were disgusting and outrageous, and he should have never been seated on the panel in the first place.
Although, he made these comments of his free will. However, I find the BBC should also be blammed for allowing Starkey to express his feelings. And also, I feel the converstion should have been cut as soon as he started with those racist comments and being ignorance.
"We must therefore balance our presumption of freedom of expression with our responsibilities, for example to respect privacy, to be fair, to avoid unjustifiable offence and to provide appropriate protection for our audiences from harm." According to the BBC regulations, the audience is at the heart of everything they do and expressions that are made should not be of harm to them. Well, I beg to differ on the grounds on whether such statement was a fact, then David Starkey would never have had the oppurtunity to lash out at Black people and blame the riots on "the black culture or way of life"
David Starkey is a racist man and personally I think his opinions should no longer be of value, if all he is going to do is sterotype and blame all things bad on another person because of the color of their skin, their denomination or their way of life. As a viewer of the BBC, I am very disappointed and annoyed at the way you all allowed the debate to persisted and gave David Starkey the opportunity to disrespect the black culture, and I also feel there weren't enough done on his case.

Enough of me- Let's talk about me!
Hey Y'all, I'm Tashayna. I am 18 Years Old, Currently Studying BTEC Media Production And Creative Writing At City Of Westminster College. I Live In London, United Kingdom. Im currently living with my parents and younger siblings. I am a Ctholic, but I am drawn to Ratasfarianism and their culture. I know almost everything there is to know about Ratafarians because of my love for the legendary Robert Nesta Marley, and also because my Step dad is rastafarian.
Music defines me! I am a big fan of Reggae music, from Bob Marley to Tony Rebel. I am also a big fan of Bon Jovi. I live and breathe music. Without it i honestly do not know what i'd do.
