    George Tames Washington Photographer for the New York Times PREFACE In 1846, an unknown cameraman took the first photograph of the United States Capitol, a view of the East Front. Thereafter the Capitol, from all angles, became the subject of countless amateur and professional photographers. During the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth most photography took place outside the building, due both to its dimly lit interior and to the antipathy many committee chairmen felt about the distractions of flash powder and bulbs. Eventually, photographers moved into the building, shooting everywhere at will, except within the Senate and House chambers. By the 1980s, television cameras penetrated even this haven. Nearly a century after that first photo, George Tames began photographing the people and events of Capitol Hill, first for Time-Life and later for the New York Times. During the course of a long career that ranged from the 1940s through the 1980s, Tames developed access to, and captured the likenesses of more significant members of Congress, and had his work reproduced more widely in influential publications than any other photographer in American political history. He developed a style contrary to the "herd instinct" that led other photographers to group together outside a closed door waiting for a standard shot. Instead, his pictures demonstrate an artistic eye, an intense sense of place, and a special intimacy with his subjects. George Tames was born in the shadow of the Capitol Dome, in a Washington alley house on January 21, 1919, into a Greek-Albanian immigrant family, and "born into the Democratic party" as well.

  • Compte-Rendu De La Seance Du Conseil Intercommunal Du 9 Decembre 2020
    Conseil communal COMPTE-RENDU DE LA SEANCE DU CONSEIL INTERCOMMUNAL DU 9 DECEMBRE 2020 2 postes étant à repourvoir au Codir Mme Elvira Rölli, municipale à Arzier-Le Muids a fait acte de candidature. La question a été posée de savoir s’il était opportun de le faire seulement 6 mois avant la fin de la législature. Le Codir n’y voyant pas d’inconvénient, Mme Rölli a été élue . Elle sera ainsi la 2ème femme du Codir sur 9 membres. Budget 2021 La situation financière de la Région de Nyon est assez tendue. Le budget présentait un déficit de chf 59'500.- - . Deux amendements proposés par la Cofin et approuvés par le Codir ont ramené ce déficit à chf. 7'500.- - . Il n’a pas suscité de discussions particulières et a été approuvé à une large majorité. Demande de crédit pour une convention quadriennale en soutien des activités de l’Usine à Gaz, période 2021-2024 Il s’agissait du renouvellement d’une convention existante. Les montants alloués chaque année sont progressifs afin de tenir compte à la fois de la diminution des spectacles en raison du Covid-19 et du fait que les travaux ne sont pas terminés. Un amendement demandant d’augmenter la part de la région (entre chf 70'000.- - et chf 100'000.- -) de chf 20'000.- - a été déposé mais refusé. La convention a par contre été acceptée à une large majorité. Postulat de Michel Girardet pour la mise en place d’une véritable politique de soutien au sport au niveau régional La réponse du Codir était une véritable coquille vide sans aucune proposition concrète.

  • John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction John D. Rockefeller was an oil industry tycoon and philanthropist who lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in New York in 1839, he moved with his family to northeast Ohio in 1853. At age sixteen, he began his involvement with the business world as an assistant bookkeeper for a produce commission business. He soon began his own produce commission company before joining the oil refinery industry in 1863. He established Standard Oil of Ohio in 1870, and this is where he made most of his wealth. By 1878, the company controlled 90% of all U.S. oil refineries (it was declared a trust by the U.S government in 1911). In addition to his business interests, Rockefeller regularly donated a portion of his income to charities supporting education and public health. Rockefeller died in 1937 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. He is widely recognized as the wealthiest American of all time. Important Dates . July 8, 1839: John Davison Rockefeller is born in Richford, New York. 1853: The Rockefeller family moves to Strongsville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. 1863: Rockefeller and business partner Maurice B. Clark build an oil refinery in “The Flats” area of Cleveland. 1864: Rockefeller marries Laura Celestia “Cettie” Spelman. January 10, 1870: Standard Oil of Ohio is formed and grows rapidly over the next decade, eventually forming a monopoly. 1903: Rockefeller’s General Education Board is founded. 1911: U.S. Supreme Court declares that Standard Oil Company of New Jersey is a trust, and it is broken into subsidiaries.
