No full textDate:1948Terry Underwood arrived in the Northern Territory in 1968 and with her new husband moved to a new home at Riveren. Home consisted of a caravan, a bough shed, camp stove and a tent as the master bedroom. Together they transformed Riveren into a thriving cattle station.
Over a span of 30 years she has been involved in many projects which have included: producer/director of plays, talent quests and documentaries, along with appearances on TV and radio. She is also a patron to the Australian Outback Tourism Association and Northern Territory Fashion Awards. In 2005 Underwood was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the General Division in Queen's Birthday 2005 Honours List for "service to the community, particularly through business and in promotional and cattle industry roles". In her autobiography 'In the middle of nowhere' Underwood captures the essence of her life "Riveren has captured our bodies, hearts and spirits. It lies within the heart of Australia. How privileged we are to call it home. Riveren is where I belong. I know it would not have worked anywhere else with anyone else. In the middle of nowhere has become my everywhere." (Underwood, 1998: 276).

Callomyia argentea Cumming, sp. nov.
No full textCallomyia argentea Cumming sp. nov. (Figs 4, 15, 47, 53, 55, 65, 70) Diagnosis. This western Nearctic species is characterized by silver-grey markings on abdominal tergites 1−5 and male terminalia with a molar-like surstylus. Callomyia argentea is similar in appearance to the western Nearctic species C. corvina and C. gilloglyorum because of its similar abdominal colour pattern, but can be distinguished from these species by its molar-like surstylus (versus broadly lamellate surstylus), hyaline wings (versus yellowishbrown tinted wings), and stronger stouter posteroventral seta on the base of the hind femur. Callomyia argentea has similar male terminalia to C. velutina from eastern and western North America, but its terminalia differ by a ventral inner surstylus cusp that is more extended and rounded in lateral view and truncate in posterior view (versus more pointed in lateral view and narrowly truncate in posterior view), a postgonite that is truncate apically (versus rounded apically), and a phallus that is gradually hooked towards the apex (versus a sharp extended hook apically). Description. Male (Figs 4, 15). Body length 3.7–4.2 mm; wing length 3.7–4.1 mm. Head dark silver-grey; mouthparts brownish-yellow to brown with palpus brown to dark brown; antenna with scape, pedicel, first flagellomere and arista dark brown. Antenna with first flagellomere short-oval (as in Fig. 41). Thorax mainly dark brown to black, velvety black in some specimens; notopleuron and supra-alar area of scutum silver-grey dusted in some specimens; propleuron, mesopleuron and metapleuron mainly silver-grey dusted; mediotergite and laterotergite silver-grey dusted. Scutum with 6 notopleural setae. Legs light brown to brown, hind leg darker with tibia and tarsomeres dark brown. Mid tibia with median anterodorsal seta absent, median dorsal seta present (as in Fig. 50); base of hind femur with strong stout posteroventral seta (Fig. 53). Hind tarsomere 1 slightly expanded, subequal to apical width of hind tibia, length approximately 2.5 X width. Wing hyaline (Fig. 47) with cell sc faintly yellow, whitish in some specimens. Halter with stem brown; knob orange, yellow in some specimens.

Terminalia (Figs 55, 65) with epandrium grey; surstylus black; hypandrium brown; hypandrial process and cercus brownish-yellow. Epandrium with short broad ventral lobe, rounded at apex; apical process moderately long, pointed at apex. Surstylus molar-like, with 2 large cusps moderately excavated in between; dorsal outer cusp broadly rounded in lateral view; ventral inner cusp narrow and extended, rounded at apex in lateral view, truncate and minutely serrate medially in posterior view (Fig. 65). Hypandrium with moderately long apical process; process trifid, with 2 short apical projections and short broad triangular basoventral lobe.

Geographical distribution and seasonal occurrence (Fig. 70). Callomyia argentea is currently known from western North America (British Columbia, Oregon and California). Adults have been collected from late June to late September. Etymology. This species name is derived from the Latin argentea for silvery, in reference to this species’ similar appearance to C. velutina, but with more silver on the abdomen.Published as part of Cumming, Heather J. & Wheeler, Terry A., 2016, Revision of the Nearctic species of Callomyia Meigen (Diptera: Platypezidae) and phylogeny of the genus, pp. 501-554 in Zootaxa 4111 (5) on pages 509-511, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4111.5.1, http://zenodo.org/record/27147
Callomyia arnaudi Cumming, sp. nov.
No full textCallomyia arnaudi Cumming sp. nov. (Figs 5, 6, 16, 23, 33, 56, 71) Diagnosis. This southwestern Nearctic species is characterized by striking metallic bluish-white colour on the thorax and abdomen, and male terminalia with a broadly lamellate surstylus. The male is similar to the southwestern Nearctic species C. bertae, except for differences in colour and terminalia that are indicated in the key to species. Callomyia arnaudi has similar male terminalia to the western Nearctic species C. gilloglyorum, but the ventral process of the broadly lamellate surstylus is shorter in C. arnaudi, as well as the apical projections and basoventral lobe of the hypandrial process. The female of C. arnaudi is similar to C. velutina, from eastern and western North America, because of its similar thoracic and abdominal colour pattern, but can be distinguished from this species by differences in colour (metallic bluish-white versus silver-blue, and pale orange on tergites 1 and 2 versus yellow on tergites 1−3). The coloured abdominal segment interrupted by a median dorsal dark band is on tergite 4 in C. arnaudi as opposed to tergite 5 in C. velutina. The female abdominal colour pattern of C. arnaudi is also similar to that of C. gilloglyorum with light colouration on tergites 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7, and dark drown to black on tergites 3 and 5. However, the actual abdominal colour between the females of these species differs (pale orange versus silver-grey on tergites 1 and 2, and metallic blusih-white versus silver-grey on tergites 4, 6 and 7). Description. Male (Figs 5, 6, 16). Body length 3.35–3.85 mm; wing length 3.3–3.8 mm. Head metallic bluishwhite; mouthparts including palpus brownish-yellow; antenna with scape, pedicel, first flagellomere and arista dark brown. Antenna with first flagellomere short-oval (as in Fig. 41). Thorax dark brown to black with metallic bluish-white markings on lateral portion of presutural scutum, notopleuron, posterior portion of postsutural scutum, postalar callus, propleuron, mesopleuron, metapleuron, mediotergite and laterotergite; dark portion of presutural scutum silver-grey dusted. Scutum with 6 notopleural setae. Legs brown with base of tibiae brownish-yellow; coxae metallic bluish-white dusted. Mid tibia with median anterodorsal seta absent, median dorsal seta present (as in Fig. 50); base of hind femur with long thin posteroventral seta (as in Fig. 54). Hind tarsomere 1 long, slightly narrower than apical width of hind tibia, length approximately 3 X width. Wing hyaline with cell sc faintly yellow. Halter dark brown. Abdomen dark brown to black with lateral metallic bluish-white markings on tergites 1, 2 and 6; ventrolateral metallic bluish-white markings on tergites 3 and 4; sternites metallic bluish-white dusted, sternite 8 metallic bluishwhite. Terminalia (Fig. 56) with epandrium metallic bluish-white; surstylus and hypandrium brown; cercus brownishyellow. Epandrium with short tooth-like ventral lobe, pointed at apex; apical process elongate, pointed at apex. Surstylus broadly lamellate with narrow ventral process; dorsal lobe broad with rounded apex; ventral process moderately long, slightly curved dorsally. Hypandrium with elongate slender apical process; process trifid, with 2 moderately long narrow apical projections and short narrow basoventral lobe. Postgonite very long and narrow, tapered towards apex. Phallus sharply hooked at apex. Cercus short. Female (Figs 25, 33). Body length 3.0– 3.2 mm; wing length 3.0– 3.3 mm. Head metallic bluish-white with dorsolateral portion of occiput bordering vertex reddish-brown; mouthparts brownish-yellow with palpus pale yellow; antenna with scape, pedicel, first flagellomere and arista brown to dark brown. Antenna with first flagellomere short-oval (as in Fig. 43). Thorax brown and silver-grey dusted, with metallic bluish-white markings on postpronotal lobe, lateral portion of presutural scutum, notopleuron, posterior portion of postsutural scutum, postalar callus, propleuron, mesopleuron, metapleuron, mediotergite and laterotergite; scutellum dark brown to black. Scutum with 2 presutural intra-alar setae. Legs brown with trochanters, base and apex of femora, and base of tibiae brownish-yellow; coxae metallic bluish-white dusted. Mid tibia with median dorsal seta absent. Wing hyaline. Halter pale orange. Abdomen dark brown to black with tergites 1 and 2 entirely pale orange and silver-white dusted; tergite 4 metallic bluish-white, interrupted by median dorsal dark band; tergites 6 and 7 entirely metallic bluish-white; sternites pale orange to light brown. Terminalia with segment 8 metallic bluish-white; epiproct, hypoproct and cercus metallic bluish-white. Type material. HOLOTYPE, ♂ labelled: “ USA: NEW MEXICO / McKinleyCo. 4mi./ S.

Callomyia arnaudi is only known from the type series collected in July from McKinley County and Sandoval County in New Mexico. Etymology. This species is named after Dr. Paul. H. Arnaud Jr. of the California Academy of Sciences, who collected most of the type specimens. Remarks. Callomyia arnaudi is closely related to the Nearctic species C. gilloglyorum and the Palaearctic species C. dives and C. saibhira Chandler, as shown in the strict consensus tree (Fig. 79). The male terminalia of C. arnaudi are most similar to the terminalia of C. saibhira (comparison based on description and figures of C. saibhira in Chandler (2001, figs 238−240) and Tkoč & Roháček (2014, fig. 10)). However, the thoracic and abdominal colour patterns and shape of the hypandrial process differ between these two species.Published as part of Cumming, Heather J. & Wheeler, Terry A., 2016, Revision of the Nearctic species of Callomyia Meigen (Diptera: Platypezidae) and phylogeny of the genus, pp. 501-554 in Zootaxa 4111 (5) on pages 512-514, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4111.5.1, http://zenodo.org/record/27147

Systematics of Nearctic Callomyia (Diptera: Platypezidae)
No full textA Nearctic revision and phylogenetic analysis of the world species of the genus Callomyia Meigen (Diptera: Platypezidae) was undertaken. A total of ten species are recognized from the Nearctic Region (C. argentea Cumming sp. nov., C. arnaudi Cumming sp. nov., C. bertae Kessel, C. browni Cumming sp. nov., C. calla Kessel, C. corvina Kessel, C. gilloglyorum Kessel, C. proxima Johnson, C. velutina Johnson, and C. venusta Snow), including three new species and three new synonyms. Delimitation of species was based primarily on morphological data, however, molecular sequence data (DNA barcodes) were used wherever possible to help determine species boundaries and associate sexes. Species descriptions, diagnoses, and illustrations of distributions, habitus, male terminalia and additional important diagnostic characters are presented. A key to the Nearctic species for both sexes is also provided. The phylogenetic analysis used 32 morphological characters, 28 adult and four larval characters, and supported the monophyly of Callomyia. It also revealed that the Nearctic species do not form a monophyletic group and are distributed within at least three major clades. Close relationships were found between some of the Nearctic and Palaearctic species, but no Holarctic species were discovered.Une révision Néarctique et une analyse phylogénique des espèces mondiales du genre Callomyia Meigen (Diptère: Platypezidae) ont été entrepris. Dix espèces sont reconnues dans la région du Néarctique (C. argentea Cumming sp. nov., C. arnaudi Cumming sp. nov., C. bertae Kessel, C. browni Cumming sp. nov., C. calla Kessel, C. corvina Kessel, C. gilloglyorum Kessel, C. proxima Johnson, C. velutina Johnson, et C. venusta Snow), dont trois nouvelles espèces et trois nouveaux synonymes. La délimitation des espèces est principalement basée sur des données morphologiques. Toutefois, des données de séquences moléculaires (codes-barres d’ADN) ont été utilisés, lorsque possible, afin d’aider à séparer les espèces et à associer les sexes. Des descriptions d’espèces, diagnostiques, ainsi que des illustrations de leurs distributions géographiques, des espèces à part entière, des parties génitale des mâles et des caractères diagnostiques additionnels important sont présentées. Une clé d’identification des espèces Néarctiques pour chaque sexe est aussi fournit. L’analyse phylogénétique incluant 32 caractères morphologiques, 28 caractères pour le stade adulte et quatre pour le stade larvaire, supporte la monophile de Callomyia. Cette analyse révèle d’ailleurs que les espèces Néarctique ne forment pas un group monophylétique. Elles sont plutôt distribuées en au moins trois clades important. Des relations rapprochées entre quelques espèces Néarctique et Paléarctique ont été trouvé, mais aucune espèce Holarctique n’a été découverte
"Disney is the Tiffany’s and I am the Woolworth's of the business": A critical re-analysis of the business philosophies, production values and studio practices of animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry has been portrayed as having little passion for the animation he produced and being more concerned with making a profit than producing entertaining cartoons with high production values. The purpose of the dissertation is to re-evaluate Terry‘s legacy to animated cartooning by analyzing his business philosophies, production values, and studio practices.
Application of four psychodynamic factors to the early life and career of Terry, 1887-1929, found that his economic decision making was characterized by: an external locus of control, risk-averse financial behaviour, extreme saving behaviour through precaution, and shrewd money management practices. Based on Terry‘s historical responses to twelve major economic, technological, or institutional forces of change for the period 1929-1955, the psychodynamic factors were found to provide accurate explanations for his studio practices and production decisions.
There was no evidence to support the conclusion that three early career disappointments undermined Terry‘s intrinsic motivation to create animated cartoons. Rather, Terry‘s lack of risk taking, external locus of control, tight studio production schedule, desire to compete with neighbour studio Fleischer, difficulty in separating financial rewards from creative processes in animation, and practice of undertaking surveillance measures on staff may have undermined his and his studio‘s creativity. Archival research found Terry to possess strong passions for and to have made significant creative contributions to the field of animation.
Biographical research found that Terry retained a stable nucleus of highly talented artists who dedicated a significant portion of their working careers to the studio. An analysis of the cel aesthetics of a random sample of animated cartoons produced during the years 1930-1955 found that Terry created animated cartoons with above average cel aesthetics when compared to the other studios thereby supporting an inference that Terry was motivated to producing quality crafted animation. Further research is suggested into the role psychodynamic factors and economic decision-making play in the film production process and a clarification of Terry‘s legacy to the field of animated cartoons
