LA FIAMMA BICOLORE
La mongolfiera è senza dubbio uno dei mezzi di trasporto più affascinanti al mondo.
La maggior parte delle mongolfiere utilizza dell’aria appositamente scaldata, meno densa rispetto a quella che c’è all'esterno, per ottenere una spinta verso l'alto e sollevarsi da terra, secondo il noto principio di Archimede. I palloni ad aria calda fanno parte della storia cinese da quasi duemila anni, nella veste delle cosiddette lanterne cinesi.
Il compito di riscaldare l'aria all'interno del pallone per far volare la mongolfiera spetta al bruciatore, che si trova all'imbocco del pallone, anche detto gola della mongolfiera.
L’obiettivo di avere una massa più leggera rispetto all’atmosfera circostante può essere ottenuto anche tramite alcuni gas leggeri, come l’idrogeno o l’elio.

THE TWO-TONE FLAME
The hot air balloon is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating means of transport in the world.
Most hot air balloons use specially heated air, less dense than the air outside, to obtain an upward thrust and lift off the ground, according to the well-known Archimedes principle. Hot air balloons have been part of Chinese history for almost two thousand years, in the guise of the so-called Chinese lanterns.
The task of heating the air inside the balloon to make the hot air balloon fly falls to the burner, which is located at the mouth of the balloon, also called the throat of the balloon.
The goal of having a lighter mass than the surrounding atmosphere can also be achieved through some light gases, such as hydrogen or helium.

After the war, film production picked up again, not only all over Asia but also in Singapore where both Chinese and Malay films were made. In 1947, 'Seruan Medeka', an effort by Film Melayu Art Productions, proved to be mildly successful. This prompted the Shaws to reopen their pre-war studio at No.8, Jalan Ampas (above) to produce Malay movies. Under the banner of 'Malay Film Production Limited' (MFP), the Shaws aimed to dominate the Malay film market with quality productions. This move ushered in the period known as 'The Golden Age of Malay Cinema' during which over 300 films were produced.
At first, the Shaws used Chinese directors to make Malay movies. They were replaced by Indians because Malays tended to prefer Indian directorial style. Malays also favoured Indian films because they could relate to both plot and culture. The 'Bollywood' song and dance style in Malay movies were enjoyed not only by Malays but also many Singaporean Chinese. Shaws' stable of Indian directors for the next two decades read like a who's-who of Malay cinema - B.S. Rajhans, S.Ramanathan, L. Krishnan, KRS Shastry, Phani Majumdar, Kidar Sharma, Dhiresh Ghosh, K.M. Basker and B.N. Rao.
In 1947, MFP's first film 'Singapura Di-Waktu Malam' starring Siput Sarawak proved an instant success. It was directed by the same man who made Singapore's first feature hit in 1933 - B.S. Rajhans.
B.S. Rajhans quickly followed his success with a string of hits over the next four years. They included Chempaka (1947), Pisau Berachun (1948) and Cinta (1948). In Cinta, he gave the part of the villain to a young unknown whom he discovered at a music festival in Bukit Mertajam. This 19-year old playback singer who provided the vocals for the lead actor Roomai Noor was to become a legend in his own time. He was P. Ramlee.
In his early years at Jalan Ampas, P.Ramlee was enthusiastic about mastering all aspects of film production. No task proved too menial for him, and he worked even as clapper boy and assistant cameraman. From the start, his remarkable talents were recognised by the Shaws.
In 1950, P.Ramlee graduated from playing 'villians' to 'hero' and became the first actor to sing in his own voice in the movie 'Bakti'. In this film, he acted opposite the beautiful Kasma Booty (right) and proved beyond doubt that he had all the qualities of a star who could not only act but sing.
By 1953, MFP faced competition from the newly formed Cathay-Keris, a studio formed by cinema owner Ho Ah Loke and Cathay Organisation's chairman Dato Loke Wan Tho. They offered lucrative financial contracts to attract experienced film crew and stars to their new studio on the East Coast. 'Buloh Perindu' (1953) was a Malay film made by them in colour.
In order to stay ahead, the Shaws made the 26-year-old P. Ramlee into director fresh from his hit starrer 'Hang Tuah' in 1955. By that time, P.Ramlee was already an accomplished songwriter and actor, but he was keen to prove that Malay directors were as capable as Indians in making high quality films.
The result was 'Penarik Beca' , an award-winning film which catapulted the Malay film industry to an international level. It won Best Picture and Best Song in a readers' poll of the prestigious "Utusan Filem and Sport" magazine.
For the next 20 years, the multi-talented Tan Sri P.Ramlee was to win multiple international awards (including film festivals in Hong Kong and Japan) for work which spanned over 70 films and 200 songs.
His films encompassed different genres, the reason for winning fans of all races and generations. Any P.Ramlee film was guaranteed to fill seats and he became king of the Malay box office. In 1963, Singapore became part of Malaysia. That same year, P.Ramlee made his last film at Jalan Ampas - Tiga Abdul - and then he went to Merdeka studios in KL.

Taking into consideration the height of a Giraffe, adults average over 6 metres, stooping down to drink water is indeed a difficult task.
The need to quench one's thirst overcomes all difficulties and they have to bend their front forelegs to get to the water. I saw this group of Giraffe's near a Dam inside Nairobi National Park. The mother was standing close by whilst the youngsters took turn to drink water.
I will be making more. Put Sandman in because he worked with Ghost, Price, and Soap.
