  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

This poly- phase district provided c. 8.5 Mt of ore with a grade of 0.2 %. It consists of mineralized quartz veins, silica-rich gneiss, pegmatites and aplites associated with a heterogeneous, locally sulphide-bearing, amphibolites facies gneiss called Knaben Gneiss, and hosted in a regional-scale monotonous, com- monly weakly foliated, granitic gneiss. An augen gneiss at the Knaben I deposit yields a 1257 ± 6Ma magmatic zircon age, dating the pre-Sveconorwegian protolith of the Knaben Gneiss. Mineralized and non-mineralized granitic gneiss samples at the Knaben II and Kvina deposits contain some 1488– 1164 Ma inherited zircon and yield consistent intrusion ages of 1032 ± 4, 1034 ± 6 and 1036 ± 6 Ma. This age links magmatism in the district to the regional 1050–1020 Ma Sirdal I-type granite suite, corresponding to voluminous crustal melting during the Sveconorwegian orogeny.

  • Number 617 Squadron After the Dams Raid by Robert Owen
    Number 617 Squadron after the Dams Raid by Robert Owen In May 1943 Number 617 Squadron of Bomber Command, the Royal Air Force, succeeded in breaching two of Germany’s great dams. A few months after this success the Squadron moved from its airfield at Scampton in Lincolnshire to a new base: Coningsby, in the same county. The Squadron had a new commander, Sqn Ldr George Holden, and was re-equipped with Lancasters that had been adapted to carry the latest and heaviest weapon in Bomber Command’s arsenal, a 12,000 lb blast bomb that looked rather like three large dustbins bolted together. On the night of 15/16 September 1943, 8 aircraft carrying this weapon were despatched to make a low level attack against an embanked section of the Dortmund – Ems Canal. The canal was an important link in Germany’s internal transport network. A combination of bad weather and heavy defences took their toll. Five of the eight aircraft, including that of the Squadron Commander, failed to return.The canal was undamaged. Sir Arthur Harris, Commander in Chief of Bomber Command, was faced with the choice of what to do with the depleted Squadron. He decided to re-build it for special duties. Harris knew that Barnes Wallis, inventor of the bouncing mine that had broken the dams back in May, was developing a new bomb. Wallis’s latest weapon was designed to penetrate deep into the ground before exploding, and so to cause an earthquake effect that would destroy the most substantial of structures. Although this was not yet ready, it would need to be dropped from high level with great accuracy.

  • Detaljregulering for Svodin Hyttefelt Knaben, Kvinesdal Kommune (Del Av Gnr/Bnr 191/2)
    Detaljregulering for Svodin hyttefelt Knaben, Kvinesdal kommune (del av gnr/bnr 191/2) Planid: 10372011006 PLANBESKRIVELSE 04.03.2013 Detaljregulering for Svodin hyttefelt, Knaben, Kvinesdal kommune 1 Bakgrunn Tiltakshaver Sirdalshytta AS ønsker å fremme forslag til detaljregulering for Svodin hyttefelt på Knaben i Kvinesdal kommune. Utbyggingen omfatter felt F06 i kommunedelplan for Knaben (Plan ID: 10372011006), der det aktuelle området er avsatt til ”fremtidig fritidsbebyggelse”. Følgende eiendommer berøres helt eller delvis av planarbeidet; gnr/bnr 191/2 (hovedteig), 191/135-141 (eksisterende hytter) og 326/15-16 (offentlig vei). Gjennom reguleringen ønskes det tilrettelagt for oppføring av 59 nye fritidsboliger med helårs atkomstvei og innlagt vann/avløp. Andre formål som inngår er blant annet lekeareal og skiløype. Til utarbeiding av planen har tiltakshaver engasjert Karttjenester as. Det ble avholdt oppstartsmøte med kommunen 28.6.2011. Oppstart av planarbeidet ble varslet i avisen Agder 19.8.2011 og elektronisk på Kvinesdal kommunes nettside. Berørte offentlige myndigheter, kjente grunneiere og andre rettighetshavere ble tilsendt eget varslingsbrev datert 18.8.2011. Frist for innspill til planarbeidet var satt til 20.09.2011. Kvinesdal kommune har foretatt en vurdering og konkludert med at foreslått regulering ikke kommer inn under PBL’s krav om planprogram (§ 4.1) og konsekvensutredning (§ 4.2). 2 Planavgrensning Planområdet er lokalisert sør for fylkesvei 839 litt over en kilometer fra Knaben. Det meste av plangrensen følger avgrensningen av eiendommen 191/2, bortsett fra i sør og vest der grensen er trukket mer skjønnsmessig ut fra terrengforhold og arealinteresser knyttet til utbyggingen. I nordvestlig og nordøstlig hjørne av planområdet er kantareal til fylkesveien innlemmet der det er aktuelt med avkjørsler.

  • Wolverhampton Built Defiant Is Highlight of Open Cockpits Evening Date: 15-16 September 2017 Time: 6.00Pm to 9.00Pm Cost: £12.50 Per Person
    3 August 2017 Wolverhampton built Defiant is highlight of Open Cockpits Evening Date: 15-16 September 2017 Time: 6.00pm to 9.00pm Cost: £12.50 per person The Wolverhampton built, Second World War British Battle of Britain fighter aircraft, Boulton Paul Defiant Mk1 will be one of the highlights at the forthcoming ‘Open Cockpits Evening’ taking place at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford on 15-16 September 2017. The Boulton Paul Defiant Mk 1 joined the aircraft display at Cosford only a few short months ago and with just 300 tickets available per evening, organisers are anticipating the event will be hugely popular with aviation fans eager to get the first close look inside (no internal access). The aircraft is the last surviving example of its kind, built by Boulton Paul at its Pendeford, Wolverhampton factory in 1938. This two-seat turret fighter, operated with mixed fortunes during the Battle of Britain period but found its niche as a night fighter during 1940-42. The RAF Museum’s example, serial number N1671 was operated by the newly formed No 307 (Polish) Squadron RAF, who became operational in December 1940. It was painted in its all black night fighter colour scheme the following January and carried out 15 patrols before moving to No 285 (Anti-aircraft Co- Operation) Squadron in June 1942, its last operational user. RAF Museum Cosford Curator, Al McLean said: “After four decades on display at the RAF Museum London, the sole surviving intact Defiant example of its type was transferred to Cosford for aviation fans in the Midlands to enjoy.
