    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Emilio Aleman Robin Hoffman Hitachi Kokusai Electric America, Ltd. Pipeline Communications 516.682.4406 973.746.6970 [email protected] [email protected] BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY-HAWAII SELECTS FOUR HITACHI SK-HD1000 HD CAMERAS TO PRODUCE HD PROGRAMMING FOR ITS WEBSITE AND BYU-TV WOODBURY, NEW YORK, May 19, 2009 – Hitachi Kokusai Electric America, Ltd., a leading provider of affordable, high performance cameras, today announced that Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU-Hawaii)—an accredited, four-year undergraduate institution in Laie, HI—bought four Hitachi SK-HD1000 native 1080i HDTV studio/field production cameras to produce HD programming for its website (http://www.byuh.edu ) as well as for BYU Television. BYU-Hawaii and its sister colleges BYU (in Utah) and BYU-Idaho all produce their own programming—such as entertainment, documentaries, and educational programs. These shows are seen on BYU TV, the Brigham Young University-run TV network that reaches over 50 million homes nationwide on DirecTV, Dish Network, and cable systems, and a global audience via the Internet. While most of this programming has been done in SD, BYU-Hawaii bought the Hitachi SK-HD1000’s because the demand for HD is steadily increasing. ―Because of the superior price performance of the Hitachi SK-HD1000, we’ve been able to go hi-def four years sooner than we had planned. We could not have realized our goal to go hi-def so quickly without this camera because comparable competitors were cost-prohibitive,‖ said Lawrence Lau, manager of TV studios for BYU-Hawaii. ―Hitachi has also satisfied another key concern we had—reliability.

  • The Salt Lake Tabernacle: a Witness to the Growth of God’S Kingdom
    Chapter 5 The Salt Lake Tabernacle: A Witness to the Growth of God’s Kingdom Scott C. Esplin “ n great deeds something abides,” reminisced Joshua Lawrence IChamberlain, a famed Civil War colonel. “On great fields some- thing stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear, but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field to ponder and dream; And lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls.”1 For Latter-day Saints, the historic Salt Lake Tabernacle has become one of those sacred sites—a consecrated hall where “something abides” and “spirits linger” and where modern visitors are wrapped in “the shadow of a mighty presence” while visions of the Restoration “pass into their souls.” President Gordon B. Hinckley summarized the influence the Scott C. Esplin is an assistant professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. 69 Salt Lake City: The Place Which God Prepared Tabernacle has had on the Church: “The Spirit of the Lord has been in this structure. It is sacred unto us.”2 With the construction of larger and more modern conference halls, the Salt Lake Tabernacle stands today as a silent witness to its pioneer past. Having undergone significant transformations throughout its life, the building serves not only as a monument to pioneer greatness but also as an example of changes in the Church’s history.

  • Dear East Legacy Season Ticket Holder: in Accordance With
    Dear East Legacy Season Ticket Holder: In accordance with tax laws and regulations, Brigham Young University (BYU) is providing to you this good faith estimate of the value of goods and services which you were entitled to receive in connection with your payments for each East Legacy Chair seat at LaVell Edwards Stadium for the 2019 football season. As indicated in the enclosed Cougar Club Tax Disclosure Statement, your payments to BYU Athletics in 2019 are tax-deductible only to the extent that you did not receive a benefit, or the right to receive such a benefit, in return. Because of revisions to the Internal Revenue Code which became effective beginning January 1, 2018, any portion of your payment that entitles you to purchase priority seating is not tax- deductible. Amended IRC Section 170(l) provides in part as follows: “No deduction shall be allowed … if … the taxpayer receives (directly or indirectly) as a result of paying such amount the right to purchase tickets for seating at an athletic event in an athletic stadium of such institution.” Cougar Club Membership Dues Cougar Club members make contributions to BYU Athletics in order to be eligible to purchase tickets in the priority seating areas. For the 2019 season donors needed to have contributed $1,250 or more to be eligible to purchase East Legacy Chair Seating. With the change in IRC Section 170(l), this entire amount is not tax-deductible. Donations, or portions of donations, made in 2019 that are in excess of $1,250 may also not be tax-deductible if you received, or had the right to receive, additional Cougar Club benefits (such as club luncheons, press almanacs, membership gifts, etc.) The fair market values for such Cougar Club benefits are detailed in the enclosed Cougar Club Tax Disclosure Statement.

  • EDUCATION in ZION We Move Forward Faithfully Into the Future Only by Understanding Our Past
    EDUCATION IN ZION We move forward faithfully into the future only by understanding our past. Our founding stories reveal to us the higher purposes for which our forebears strove, and help us know the path that we should follow. Come unto me … and learn of me. —Matthew 11:28–29 I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world. —Ether 4:12 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. —John 15:5 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. —John 10:11 Feed my lambs. … Feed my sheep. —John 21:15–17 As Latter-day Saints, we believe Christ to be the Source of all light and truth, speaking through His prophets and enlightening and inspiring people everywhere. Therefore, we seek truth wherever it might be found and strive to shape our lives by it. In the Zion tradition, we share the truth freely so that every person might learn and grow and in turn strengthen others. From our faith in Christ and our love for one another, our commitment to education flows.

  • Article by Gordon B
    Gordon B. Hinckley, right, of the Church Radio, Publicity and Mission Literature Committee, examining a 35mm film with his former mission president, Elder Joseph F. Merrill, center, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Hinckley and a cadre of other young multitasking enthusiasts were responsible for pioneering various forms of media and for establishing a culture in which slide shows, radio plays, exhibits, and cinema would be used in Church education and publicity. LDS Church Archives, © Intellectual Reserve, Inc. A History of Mormon Cinema: Second Wave V 45 The Second Wave: Home Cinema (1929–1953) The Second Wave differed from the First in various respects. For instance, by the 1930s the global film industry was well past its primitive pioneer era, and, within Mormonism, the increased sophistication of Second Wave films reflects this progress. In addition, technical advances (principally sound, but also color) renewed enthusiasm about the medium, both generally and among the Latter-day Saints. While this optimism did propel institutional and independent Mormon filmmaking toward some major projects, the decade of the 1930s—and to a lesser extent the 1940s— has generally been described for its lack of Mormon film production. Such a perception, however, does not give full credit to changes and growth in underlying areas of Mormon cinema that created a sustainable cinematic culture that would last throughout the ensuing years. Indeed, the 1930s and 1940s were decades in which both the mainstream film industry and the LDS Church itself reinvented the relationship between Mormonism and cinema. Due to Hollywood’s adoption of the Hays Production Code and the aforementioned loss of Mormonism’s sensationalism, mainstream depic- tions of Mormonism changed radically to the positive in the 1930s.

In spite of the global economic crisis and slowdown in world trade, the future of international business is still bright. Now more than ever, you will likely work in the global economy. You might be working abroad or working in your home country for either a local multinational corporation or for a foreign-based company that is enter- ing your market. Whatever your future brings, it will be important for you to understand how to negotiate foreign languages and culture. It is one thing to study a language in school, but you also need to get used to different countries and cultures as well. Cultural is broad, and language is just one aspect. BYU is a great place to study, because over 70 percent of our students speak a second language and many have lived abroad for a year or more. In your classes, you will be able to interact with students from other countries but also with U.S. students with broad international experience. In any given class, you will have classmates with international experience in multiple countries in all regions of the world. These students have gained a knowledge of and love for the people, language, and culture of places where they have lived.
