ALL HAVE AN AVERAGE SHOWING TIME OF FROM 10 TO 15 MINUTES PER REEL. FOR YOUR ESPECIAL ATTENTION Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of returning films within the period for which they are hired. When films are retained by borrowers beyond the date they are due for return, other Library Members have to be dis- appointed. When you hire films, therefore, please return them to the Library on the day they are due. You would be disappointed if the films you booked were delayed—do not disappoint others by failing to return those you hire in good time. HOW TO JOIN AND USE THE 'KODASCOPE' LIBRARY The "Kodascope" Library provides tilm hire facilities to registered members only, and you can become a registered member simply by filling in the card* entitled "Application for 'Kodascope' Library Service," and returning it to the Librar3^ Once you are a member you can hire any of the hundreds of films described in the following pages, at the rates and terms outlined below. You can hire "Kodascope" Library Films direct from the Library at Kodak House, Kingsway, London, where all tilms in this catalogue are available. There are other Libraries holding selec- tions of popular films in the Kodak Branches in Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin and Newcastle-on-Tyne. Some Cine- Kodak dealers hold selections of films. Catalogues of films available from your nearest Branch Library holding "Kodascope" Library Films will be sent to you gladly on request. EXHIBITING "KODASCOPE" LIBRARY FILMS "KODASCOPE" LIBRARY FILMS ARE HIRED FOR PRIVATE EXHIBITION ONLY. AND NOT FOR EXHIBITION FOR PAYMENT. Kodak Ltd. are not Renters within the meaning of the Cinemato- graph Acts, and it is therefore prohibited for "Kodascope" Library Films to be shown to the public. HOW TO ORDER FILMS Write or telephone (preferably write) to one or other of the Libraries as far in advance as possible. This applies especially during the months of November to Febniar\- inclusive. * Obtainable on request from your Cine-'Kodak' Dealer or from Kodak Ltd. — 2 Please give the following details always : 1. Size of films required, i.e. 16 mm. or 8 mm. 2. The catalogue number of each film required. 3. The date on which the films are required. 4. The period over which you wish to retain them. Tn order to avoid disappointment to other Library members waiting for your films always state the exact period over which you wish to retain the films and return them on the date due. Note, too, that charges for dates over which films are retained without adv^ance booking are higher than for days booked in advance. If you are only able to give short notice, then please give two alternative film numbers in case the films that you want are already booked to another Library member. If the films you order are not available we will send films of similar subject matter unless specially instructed not to do so. Orders for Library Films wanted for week-end showing should be received by the "Kodascope" Library not later than the first post on Thursday. Time permitting, your orders will be acknowledged. You will realise that we cannot guarantee to send the films you order, as unauthorised retention or severe damage by other hirers may make their despatch impossible. Every effort will, however, be made to send them. HOW TO PAY FOR FILM HIRE When films are booked through the "Kodascope" Library, London, or any of the Branch Libraries, an invoice is sent as soon as possible after the return of the films. Accounts are payable monthly, otherwise service will cease. Pa^Tnent is made to the "Kodascope" Library. When films are booked through your Cine-Kodak dealer, the Dealer will submit the invoice, and pajonent should be made to him. Saturday and Sunday will count as one day. PubUc holidays of three consecutive days will be charged as two days. Easter (Good Friday to Easter Monday inclusive) will be charged as three days. Hire charges include postage from the Library to your address : films must be returned post or carriage paid. You are earnestly requested not to retain films beyond the period for which they are booked. Hire is charged for each day films are held, whether you use them or not. Hire Charges. Whether you obtain films from the "Koda- scope" Library, London, or one of the Branch Libraries, or through — — —. — a Cine-Kodak Dealer, every film is charged at a fixed price per reel irrespective of subject, viz. : For the first day of hire 2/6 per reel For each subsequent day booked at the time of ordering I /- per reel For each subsequent day films are retained without advance booking . 2/6 per reel When advance bookings arc cancelled at short notice a nominal fee of 1/- is charged. Contract Hire Charges. If you will hire a quantity of films over a period of TWELVE MONTHS, you can enter into a "Contract" with the Library for the supply of films at reduced rates, as follows : With an advance payment of £5 0: For first day of hire 1/8 per reel For each subsequent day booked at the time of ordering .. .. .. lOd. per reel For each subsequent day films are retained without booking . 2/6 per reel With an advance payment of £7 10 : For first day of hire .. 1/6 per reel For each subsequent day booked at the time of ordering .. .. .. 9d. per reel For each subsequent day films are retained without booking .. .. .. 2/6 per reel Films cannot be supplied at quantity rates until the advance payment has been made.

Please note that charges for dates over which films are retained without advance booking are higher than for days booked in advance. Hire Periods Hire is charged for each day on which films are held by you, whether you use them or not. It will enable the librarian to avoid disappointing other Library members waiting for your films if he receives the reels on the day they are due. You are particularly urged to return films on the date agreed to without delay. Only if aU members do this without fail can the library system run smoothly. You can imagine the disappointment at a children's party or at any other time, when lihns ordered do not arrive owing to a previous hirer failing to return them to the Library. Please, .therefore, always make a point of sending films back in good time. This not only ensures that other members will get the films they want when they want them, but will keep your account at a minimum. (See paragraph on returning films.) Returning Films When returning films, please use the label Ihat accompanies them. ^Icmbers are requested to fill up the spaces on this label, showing the dates on which the films were returned. These dates are used in calculating hire charges. Careful attention to this important detail will avoid possible misunderstanding. Always return your films to the place from which 30U recei\ed them. Films booked through a Cine-Kodak Dealer who does not hold stocks will be sent to 3'ou from the "Kodascope" Library*, and should be returned direct to the Library. The "Kodascope" Library in London cannot undertake to collect or deUver library films by the van service of Kodak Ltd. in the London area. Films Collected and Returned Other than by Post Hire will be charged for the da}^ of collection but not for the day of return if films are returned before twelve noon. Films for Saturday and Sunday, however, may be collected on Friday after- noons (Frida}' will not be charged for). If returned by hand, films must be returned on Mondays. Always use the return label sent you ivith the films. Damaged Films Minor repairs to film, such as breaks, cleaning, etc., will be made without charge. Serious damage to perforations or to the surface of films whilst in j-our possession will be charged to you at the current prices for the work in\-olved. You are asked not to rewind films after use, in order that the Librarians may, during rewinding, make certain that films are in good condition for re-issue.

  • William Wyler - Pod Znakiem Kobiety
    Iwona Kolasińska William Wyler - pod znakiem kobiety Williama Wylera powszechnie uważa się za jednego z czołowych repre­ zentantów kinematografii, której nadano etykietkę „amerykańskiego kina klasycznego"1. Do amerykańskiego przemysłu filmowego trafił z Europy za pośrednictwem swego kuzyna, znanego producenta, założyciela wytwórni Universal Pictures, Carla Laemmle'a. Z pochodzenia Alzatczyk2, przybył do Hollywoodu w 1920 roku, gdzie pracował już jego starszy brat Robert i gdzie on również od 1925 roku zaczął kręcić filmy, z czasem ujawniając wielki ta­ lent reżyserski, którego nie zapowiadały jeszcze wczesne realizacje. W latach trzydziestych Wyler znalazł się w gronie kilku najznamienitszych twórców kina amerykańskiego - obok Josepha von Sternberga, Johna Forda, Howar­ da Hawksa, George'a Cukora, Kinga Vidora - i, co ciekawe, jako imigrant, a tych wśród realizatorów Hollywoodu było stosunkowo niewielu, odniósł znaczący sukces. Został uznany za jedną z większych indywidualności ame­ rykańskiego kina (sprzed okresu kontestacji), która miała niezwykle istotny wpływ na amerykańską kulturę. Zanim Laemmle zaproponował mu pracę w Universalu, Wyler wycho­ wywał się w Szwajcarii, kształcił najpierw w Lozannie, potem edukację kon­ 1 Tym terminem określa się amerykańskie kino hollywoodzkie lat 1917-1960 (według jednych) bądź 1930-1960 (według drugich). Za prawodawcę terminu uważa się zazwyczaj André Bazi- na. Zob. Mirosław Przylipiak: 1934. Hasło roku: Kino klasyczne [w:] Andrzej Kolodyński, Kon­ rad J. Zarębski (red.): Historia kina.

Miejsca pochodzenia i dojrzewania (niemiecka Alzacja, Szwajcaria i Fran­ cja) w dużej mierze też rzutowały na jego przyszłą karierę, choćby przez fakt, że Wyler od dziecka był trójjęzyczny (posługiwał się biegle niemieckim, francuskim i angielskim).

  • On the Visualisation of Large User Models in Web Based Systems
    On the Visualisation of Large User Models in Web Based Systems James B. Uther S I O D T E RE·ME ·MUT A N M S E · E A D A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sydney November 2001 ii c James B. Uther 2001 iii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the creation and refinement of a new tool for visualising large user models, that can be made available to users on the World Wide Web. User models are the set of beliefs a (software) system holds about a user. User-adapted applications, and increasingly, web sites, use a user model to help the interaction with a user. As these models start to contain more personal and sensitive information, and affect the experience of the software user, it becomes important for the user to be able to inspect and control that data. This thesis presents work that aims to help users see an overview of the data and beliefs contained in their user model. While there has been work on scrutable user models that support exploration and user control [Kay99, ZRNG99], they have been focused on the inspection of individual model components. This thesis helps users quickly search for interesting features in models of several hundreds of components. This thesis presents the design and implementation of three iterations of the tool, and user tests of each design. The final implementation is evaluated in trial with more than 50 users. Much recent work on user-adapted systems has involved adaptive hypertext and ser- vices on the World Wide Web.

  • Henriette Von Schirach
    Henriette von Schirach Erfahrene Zeitgeschichte HERBIG Für Colin Ross Zum Titelbild: Am Vorabend der Szene, in der Henriette von Schirach Hitler wegen der Judendeportationen in Holland zur Rede stellte. «Ich war eben aus Amsterdam nach Wien gekommen und rief Hitler an, ob ihm unser Besuch angenehm war. Am Nachmittag gingen wir spazieren, dann hielten wir uns auf der Terrasse auf— im Hintergrund der Untersberg.» Von links nach rechts: Baldur von Schirach, Henriette von Schirach, Heinrich Hoffmann, Adolf Hitler, Major Gerhard Engel (Hitlers Heeresadjutant). 4. Auflage Alle Rechte vorbehalten © 1975 by F. A. Herbig Verlagsbuchhandlung, München ■ Berlin Schutzumschlag: Christel Aumann, München Gesamtherstellung: Mohndruck Graphische Betriebe GmbH, Gütersloh Printed in Germany 1985 ISBN 3-7766-0758-0 Eingescannt mit OCR-Software ABBYY Fine Reader Vorwort zur 2. Auflage Dieses Buch wurde 1956 geschrieben. Es enthält Impressionen und Erlebnisse einer Frau, die das Dritte Reich im innersten Kreis er- lebte. Ich habe keinen Anlass gesehen, in der 2. Auflage Änderungen vor- zunehmen. Meine Erinnerungen sollen nicht als rührselige Rück- schau auf eine glorreiche Vergangenheit verstanden werden, son- dern als ein Anreiz zur Bewusstwerdung der Frau. Ich lernte Hitler kennen, als ich acht Jahre alt war, und blieb mit ihm befreundet, bis zu der trennenden Auseinandersetzung in der Berghofhalle. Ich hatte ihm sein Unrecht, er mir meine Herausforderung vorgewor- fen. Ich hatte mich für jüdische Frauen in Holland eingesetzt. Männer machen Geschichte, Frauen bezahlen dafür. Sie vertrauen auf die Klugheit der Männer, auf ihren Schutz, sie un- terdrücken ihr selbständiges Denken. Geht aber das Spiel verloren, büssen die Frauen härter. Sie haben Kinder, sie lieben das Leben mehr.
