  • On the Application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC "Television
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 15.07.1996 COM(96)302 final COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT on the application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC "Television without Frontiers" EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the second monitoring report on the implementation of Article 4 (European works) and Article 5 (independently produced European works) of the 1989 "Television without Frontiers" Directive. It covers the years 1993 and 1994. As with the previous report, it is based on national reports provided by each Member State as regards the broadcasters under its jurisdiction. The conclusions of the report are as follows: * There is a marked improvement in the quality of reporting by Member States. A number of methological difficulties have been ironed out as compared to the previous period. * In quantitative terms, the data is comprehensive. * The report confirms that all Member States have transposed Articles 4 and 5, although the flexible wording of these provisions has resulted.in differing levels of effectiveness and in variations as regards the basis on which they are applied. * The number of channels surveyed was 148 (105 in 1992). Of these, 91 broadcast a majority proportion of European works in 1994 (as compared to 70 channels doing so in 1992). Moreover, in almost all Member States, the majority of mainstream terrestrial broadcasters (which account for by far the largest share of the audience) achieved, or exceeded by a considerable margin, the majority proportion. There was only a limited number of exceptions and in most of these cases the proportion remained close to 50%.

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history

  • Annual Terlingua CASI Chili Championship Here's Wishing All A
    January 2008 Web Page www.chili.org Volume 21 Issue 1 Annual Terlingua CASI Here's Wishing All A Happy Chili Championship and Prosperous New Year A First Timer's View Terlingua, Texas This historic chili cookoff is held annually in Terlingua, Texas, or as most people have said, the middle of nowhere. The four day celebration begins each year on Wednesday before the big weekend and culminates on Saturday with the Terlingua International Chili Championship©. A Texas chili cookoff can be as much fun as one person can stand. There’s usually so much going on it’s hard to take it all in. Besides the cookoff there’s music, contests, and other food events such as salsa, etc. That’s why these things can run 2-3 days. Anyone and everyone comes to a Texas chili cookoff. Chili cookoffs are very popular in Texas and are a major form of family entertainment. The chili cooking teams are judged not only for the quality of their chili product but there are also competitions for presentation which can mean you get a show with the chili. Groups use themes and entertainment to get points for presentation. The official chili sanctioning body in Texas is the Chili Appreciation Society International - CASI. CASI makes the rules. They award points to the best ten cookers and these points can qualify a team for the International Chili Championship held the first Saturday of November in the dusty ghost town of Terlingua. CASI is a not-for-profit organization and one of the best things about their events is that all proceeds from their sanctioned events You know that you’re from Texas if you hear these phrases in conversations.

It wants to see and list every generally- distributed amateur publication devoted to SF and its fandom published in English, and hear and comment on all news connected with the hobby. Published on eFanzines.com, by e-mail, by hard copy for trade and in mailings of the Worldcon Order of Fan-Editors. Dedicated to Marty Pasko, writer, editor and wit, who added mad humor and excitement to my year at DC Comics. Among the many superheroes he sent to fight injustice: Superman, Batman, the Metal Men, Swamp Thing, the Justice League of America, the Tick, E-Man, and many others. He wrote for Roseanne Barr and brought superhero TV animation high esteem, winning an Emmy for his work on the Batman animated series. He was brilliant and iconoclastic and hilarious. His work and his wit were wondrous, and I’m proud I knew him. God rest his epic soul. The Zine Dump 49 Some new tactics for this issue of The Zine Dump.

I did so this time, and the difference in my energy and enthusiasm has been amazing.

    Paradise of Bachelors P.O. Box 1402, Carrboro, NC 27510 www.paradiseofbachelors.com / [email protected] US/CA publicity: Jonathan Williger, [email protected] UK publicity: Lucy Hurst, [email protected] Everywhere else: [email protected] Legendary Texan artist Terry Allen occupies a unique position straddling the frontiers of country music and visual art; he has worked with everyone from Guy Clark to David Byrne to Lucinda Williams, and his artwork resides in museums worldwide. Widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, his deeply moving (and hilarious) satirical second album, a complex memory palace to his West Texas hometown Lubbock, is often cited as the urtext of alt-country. Produced in collaboration with the artist and meticulously remastered from the original analog tapes, this is the definitive edition: the first to correct the tape speed inconsistencies evident on all prior versions; the first U.S. vinyl reissue; the first CD to restore the full track listing; and the first to contextualize the record within Allen’s 50-year career. Deluxe 2×LP package includes tip-on gatefold jacket with lyrics, printed inner sleeves, download code, and 28 pp. book with related artwork and photos, an oral history by Allen, and essays by David Byrne, Lloyd Maines, and PoB. 2×CD edition features replica jacket, sleeves, and tipped-in 52 pp. book. “Lubbock’s got a hard bark, with little or no self-pity; its music has an edge that can be smelled, like Lewter’s feed lot. No one from Lubbock ever apologized for what they were or where they lived.” – Terry Allen (2016) Three hundred forty-four miles of “blue asphaltum line” separate Ciudad Juárez, Mexico from Lubbock, Texas.

  • Modern Illumination Productions Invests in Elation IP-Rated Lighting
    11-Feb-2021 Modern Illumination Productions invests in Elation IP-rated lighting MIP purchase includes power workhorse Proteus Maximus™ Full-service production company Modern Illumination Productions (MIP) of California recently made an investment in IP-rated LED lighting fixtures from Elation Professional, an acquisition that includes Elation’s 50,000-lumen power moving head, the Proteus Maximus™, as well as KL Panel™ soft lights and Seven PAR IP™ color changers. The purchase joins other state-of-the-art Elation fixtures in MIP’s inventory. A touring drummer his whole life, MIP owner Drew Hester founded the company in 2012 from the unique perspective of an experienced on-stage performer. He enjoyed a successful career drumming and playing percussion for the likes of Joe Walsh, Foo Fighters, Beck, Chicago, Jewel and others, and still drums for Stevie Nicks. His entertainment background, along with MIP’s position as a somewhat new player on the entertainment technology market, are novelties that he sees as strengths. “Because we’re relatively new, our gear is new and in excellent shape. Our lighting is virtually all LED and cutting edge,” he states, adding that his position as a nontraditional salesperson also strikes a chord with clients. His main focus today however is on serving the rental and installation sectors with entertainment lighting, audio and video, something he does from a modern, 20,000-sq. ft. facility in Santa Clarita, California. Corporate events, live events and touring make up the bulk of MIP projects but installations like a recent Elation install at the Pala Casino in San Diego, as well as lighting for houses and worship, also play an important role.
