| The Israel Lobby (Marije Meerman, VPRO Backlight 2007) |
 |
For many years now the American foreign policy has
been characterized by the strong tie between the
United States and Israel. Does the United States
in fact keep Israel on its feet? And how long will
it continue to do so? In March 2006 the American
political scientists John Mearsheimer (University
of Chicago) and Steve Walt (Harvard) published the
controversial article 'The Israel Lobby and US
foreign policy'. In it they state that it is not,
or no longer, expedient for the US to support and
protect present-day Israel. The documentary sheds
light on both parties involved in the discussion:
those who wish to maintain the strong tie between
the US and Israel, and those who were critical of
it and not infrequently became 'victims' of the
lobby. The question arises to what extend the
pro-Israel lobby ultimately determines the
military and political importance of Israel
itself. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell's
former chief-of-staff) explains how the lobby's
influence affects the decision-making structure in
the White House.
With political scientist John Mearsheimer, neocon
Richard Perle, lobby organization AIPAC,
televangelist John Hagee, historian Tony Judt,
Human Rights Watch director Kenneth Roth, colonel
Lawrence Wilkerson, Democrat Earl Hilliard,
Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy and
investigative journalist Michael Massing.

| Rising Gulf (Shuchen Tan, VPRO Backlight) |
 |
While the focus of most of the worlds media is on
conflict areas in the Middle East, a silent
revolution is taking place in the Gulf States. A
rapid modernization process is taking place in
this part of the Arab world, one that we have
never seen before.
Imagine an island called 'Happiness'. This is not
a fantasy, it truly exists and will soon arise on
the coast of Abu Dhabi, one of the largest
Emirates in the Persian Gulf. A silent revolution
is taking place in the Gulf where petro dollars
are floating and Bedouin tents have long been
replaced by a world of luxury and indulgence.
While most of the worlds media focus on the Middle
East as a region of conflict, a rapid
modernization process is taking place in this part
of the world, one that we have never seen before.
Due to high oil prices, Dubai and its neighboring
Abu Dhabi are enjoying a transformational moment
that could deeply affect the region, if not the
entire world. Backlight takes you on a flight to
the island of Happiness and shows you the impact
of this dynamic process on a society that will
become the model for a new Arab world.

| Prosound Gameboy with backlight |

Here's something I just finished toying with, I
did it because all the other backlights I've seen
look terrible.
Most prosound mods also destroy the speaker
function but I kept it. Everything is much
clearer, when it's off it looks normal too, same
colour etc, and the speaker returns to normal
function when it's off, I thought about adding a
switch to the speaker to enable/disable it. Anyway
if you want one, or have any questions etc just
drop me a mail atm neilmdave@hotmail.com.
I've also made midi synch devices, variable clock
speed gameboys so you can synch up to 5 gameboys
and control via midi like a keyboard etc or synch
to a drum machine, lsdj keyboards, I've also got a
load of LSDj* carts to sell, if you're a budding
scotch egg or nullsleep this is good stuff.
check out my site www.djtransformer.com let me
know what you think....I've never made a site
before.

| Spektrum DX6i backlight and sound on/off Mods |
 |
im grounded for a while till i get money together
for a batch of spares.
I was bored so i decided to mod my DX6i.
the only 2 things that annoyed me about the DX6i,
was the lack of a backlight and that the annoying
beep wasnt switch offable for using the switches
indoors at night etc.
so i fixed both these minor annoyances.
you may notice from the video i havent installed a
switch for the lights yet but ill get one from the
shop and put it in soon.
it will only take 2 minutes to finish and im in no
rush as i cant fly right now.
