AC Fincken & Co c55pc There's Force Behind That - Sunny Jim (of Force Cereal advertising) piloting the 1931 record breaking seaplane.
Sunny Jim was an advertising character created in 1902 for Force. The text box dates the jigsaw to the late 1931-2, by quoting the speed obtained in the Schneider cup seaplane speed race of 13th Sept 1931. "SPEED A speed of 340.08 MPH was attained by the British machine in the Schneider competition on 13th September, 1931."
The seaplane was powered by the Rolls-Royce R engine, which proved very adaptable to boosting its horsepower. limits. The resultant capacity was 2,240 cubic inches or 36.7 litres. The engine weighed 1,640 pounds and its compression ratio was 6:1. The fuel used to power this beast was a potent mixture of benzol and gasoline, consumed at the tremendous rate of 180 gallons per hour! Without changing its external dimensions, engineers at Rolls-Royce had added 400 horsepower. The result was a hard won victory as on September 13, 1931 a Supermarine S6B flown by Flight Lieutenant J.N.Boothman took the Schneider Trophy at an average speed of 340.08 miles per hour, thus winning the trophy for the last time. Britain now had permanent possession of the famous Schneider Trophy, which now is on permanent display at the Royal Aero Club in Piccadilly. Not much later the S6B piloted by the same intrepid Flight Lieutenant Boothman with an R series Rolls-Royce engine boosted to 2,550 horsepower took a World’s Speed Record of 407 miles per hour.
Force was the first commercially successful wheat flake breakfast cereal. Prior to this, the only successful wheat-based cereal products had been Shredded Wheat and the hot semolina cereal, Cream of Wheat. The product was cheap to produce and kept well on store shelves. First produced in 1901 by the Force Food Company in Buffalo, New York, it was one of three companies owned by Edward Ellsworth and advertised using a popular cartoon figure called Sunny Jim.
In late 1901 Minnie Maud Hanff, a freelance jingle writer, invented the character Jimmy Dumps, a morose character who on eating the cereal was transformed into Sunny Jim. Dorothy Ficken produced line drawings, and Hanff produced lighthearted jingles describing Sunny Jim's transformation. The advertising appeared in magazines, on billboards, and on the sides of urban trolley cars from May 1902 through to the fall. The campaign was wildly successful. Production capacity expanded, by early 1904 the Canadian Grocer reported that there was a second Force food mill in Buffalo, a third mill in Chicago and one in Hamilton, Ontario, producing a total of 360,000 packages per day. Ellsworth overextended and lost control of his companies in 1907. Thereafter Force cereal changed ownership frequently in the United States, following a convoluted path involving many corporate mergers. The last owner stopped producing the cereal in 1983.
In 1903 a British subsidiary of the Force Food Company was formed to import the cereal to Europe. A slightly modified version of Sunny Jim and his jingles caught the fancy of British consumers. A. C. Fincken, a former employee of the Force Food Company, set up an agency in 1910 to import American cereals to the UK. The cereal, and the Sunny Jim character achieved wide success in Britain, at its peak in 1930 selling 12.5 million packages. (In 1932 the cereal was reintroduced into the United States by Herbert C. Rice, an Englishman involved in radio production in Buffalo.)
Since 1954 the cereal was manufactured in the UK for domestic sale. A.C. Fincken & Co., Ltd. was sold to Rank Hovis McDougall, a subsidiary of the Nestle Company, in 1985. Manufacture of Force cereal ceased in 2013, the reason cited being poor sales and very few retail outlets, latterly only Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Ocado. The Sunny Jim mascot continued to be used in the United Kingdom until the cereal's discontinuation. Since then, the Force wheatflakes brand was revived for UK consumers, and was acquired by Nestlé.

The difference? It was about 15 months :).
On the left is Loki when I visited him at the breeder - I think he was about 8 weeks old then. On the right is him at home about 15-16 months later, when he was approaching the age of a year and a half.
Both the original photos are already uploaded in the album of photos of him, but I thought it interesting to see the comparison as I'd captured two similar angles. The photo on the right has been taken with a wider angle though so it's not the most accurate of comparisons!
Same picture but without a flash and just my sewing lights. She looks more of a yellow lab here than in the other shot.
She really does like being with me. It's a comfort having her around.

a'driane nieves: A Time for Furious Dancing
September 5, 2025 - January 4, 2026
Past Exhibition
A Time for Furious Dancing includes new and recent work by a’driane nieves, a self-taught, interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the interior landscape of the self. Born in 1982 in San Antonio, Texas, nieves investigates the physical, epigenetic, psychological, and emotional effects of trauma—ancestral, inherited, historical, and personal—on identity and behavior. Drawing deeply from memory and emotion, her abstract compositions serve as a vessel for confronting pain and reclaiming joy, offering viewers an intimate visual language of transformation. The exhibition’s title is inspired by Hard Times Require Furious Dancing, a collection of poems by Alice Walker, published in 2010. The book explores themes of joy, sorrow, love, loss, and resilience in the face of personal and global challenges. A Time for Furious Dancing marks the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States.
a'driane nieves (b. 1982, San Antonio, Texas) is a visual artist and writer whose interdisciplinary practice explores the interior landscapes of the self. A self-taught painter, she began painting in 2011 as a form of art therapy during recovery from postpartum depression and a bipolar disorder diagnosis. What started as personal healing evolved into a deeper investigation of emotional suppression and memory.
Influenced by artists such as Joan Mitchell, Cy Twombly, Alma Thomas, and Mary Lovelace O’Neal, nieves works with painting, writing, soft sculpture, and text-based media. Her abstract expressionist approach embraces vulnerability, healing, and nonlinear narratives. Text often appears in her work as fragments—sometimes legible and obscured—reflecting the complexity of self-expression.
As a Black, queer, neurodivergent woman, nieves uses her practice to assert her presence and agency, creating space for others to do the same. She is also the founder of an arts nonprofit and magazine focused on creative access and community building.
Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Consortium Museum (France), Art Basel (Switzerland, Hong Kong, Miami), Frieze (London, Seoul), Galerie Marguo (Paris), Various Small Fires (Los Angeles), Standing Pine Gallery (Tokyo), and BODE Projects (Berlin). Her work is also held in collections across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Charlotte NC - December 27, 2025
Located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte at Levine Center for the Arts, the Gantt is the epicenter for the best in visual, performing and literary arts reflecting the African diaspora.

Sometimes standing up for what’s right means having the courage to blaze your own trail.
Harvey Bernard Gantt grew up in the 1940s and 50s in then-segregated Charleston, South Carolina. As the oldest child of Wilhelmina and Christopher Gantt, he often attended NAACP meetings with his father. It was there, and at the family dinner table with his four sisters, that he began to appreciate the importance of advocacy and the injustice of racial discrimination.
After graduating second in his class from Burke High School in 1960, Gantt left home to study architecture at Iowa State University. In January 1963, after a legal battle that escalated to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, Gantt became the first African-American student accepted at Clemson University. In September 1963, Lucinda Brawley became the first African-American woman to be admitted to Clemson and in October 1964 married Harvey. Harvey Gantt graduated with honors from Clemson in 1965, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and later a Master of City Planning from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
He moved to Charlotte after graduating from MIT, and, in 1971, co-founded Gantt Huberman Architects. A pioneer in blending urban planning with the practice of architecture, Gantt Huberman employed a diverse group of professionals who were charged with designing buildings that encourage community. As a result, the firm has developed some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Charlotte Transportation Center, TransAmerica Square, ImaginOn, Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, and the Johnson C. Smith University Science Center.
While significant, Gantt’s impact on the city extends beyond improving the built environment. He joined Charlotte City Council in 1974 and again broke barriers when he was elected Charlotte’s first African-American mayor in 1983. Remaining in office for two terms, Gantt stood shoulder-to-shoulder with other Charlotte leaders committed to establishing a New South City.
SouthBound Extra: A Preview Of Harvey Gantt Interview
Gantt continues to advocate for equity and equal rights and is often tapped to serve on civic, cultural, and business boards, and to lead philanthropic efforts and community initiatives. In 2009, the former Afro-American Cultural Center opened its doors to a new, award-winning facility and was renamed the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture in honor of Harvey B. Gantt, an American trailblazer.
Naming The Center
When it was first proposed that this building be named after me, I hesitated. Being a man of tradition, I always felt it was more appropriate to name a building or street for someone after their passing, as a way to honor their work. Admittedly, it took some convincing by Board Chair Earl Leake and others. After much processing and discussion with my wife, Cindy, the prevailing factor that led me to say "yes" was that it was for the sake of posterity. I envisioned walking into the building with my grandchildren and had thoughts of others doing the same with future generations. I saw them talking about the sacrifices of many who made Charlotte great, and the enormous history and accomplishments of the African American community. And I remembered my parents and others who served as inspirations to me. I am forever grateful to them for being the driving force and motivation in my life.
I thought about the enormous history of the residents of the historic Second Ward community of "Brooklyn," where the Gantt Center now stands. I hope that those who have already "crossed over" can smile and feel proud knowing that we have not forgotten their sacrifices; how they nurtured, pushed and prodded young minds to strive for excellence. We are forever grateful to them. Brooklyn residents often referred to the old Myers School as the "Jacob's Ladder School." Its skyward stairway was a visible reminder of the importance of aspiring to greater things and a good education. Not just teachers, but an entire community rallied behind the youth, molding bright minds.
That's why I agreed to the naming of the building, and that's why I want you to join me in celebrating our history and the dawning of a new day for all of us. Charlotte is a great community and the Carolinas are a great region. I call this home because the city and community represent all that is symbolic to steadfastness and a "can do" attitude. While our nation and world still struggle with acknowledging and appreciating our differences, the Gantt Center can serve as a vehicle for people to come celebrate African American art, history and culture. Residents and visiting friends alike will have numerous opportunities to enjoy all aspects of Levine Center for the Arts. The Gantt Center will serve as one of the entry points to experience the arts, sporting events and many other amenities that Charlotte has to offer. Thank you for your interest in and support of the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture. May this edifice always stand as a symbol that this community and nation are places where we all "belong".
