In its first year (Volume 1, 1992), Biography Today was published four times. Beginning with Volume 2, 1993, Biography Today will be published three times a year, in January, April, and September. We have made this change to adapt our publishing schedule more closely to the school year. Despite this change in frequency, the total number of pages will not change. We had initially planned to produce four issues of approximately 100 pages each; now we plan three issues of 150 pages each, with a hardbound cumulation of approximately 400 pages. The Plan of the Work The publication was especially created to appeal to young readers in a format they can enjoy reading and readily understand. Each issue con- tains approximately 20 sketches arranged alphabetically. Each entry pro- vides at least one picture of the individual profiled, and bold-faced rubrics lead the reader to information on birth, youth, early memories, educa- tion,first jobs, marriage and family, career highlights, memorable experiences, hobbies, and honors and awards. Each of the entries ends with a list of easily accessible sources designed to lead the student to fur- ther reading on the individual and a current address. Obituary entries are also included, written to provide a perspective on an individual's entire career. Obituaries are clearly marked in both the table of contents and at the beginning of the entry. Biographies are prepared by Omni editors after extensive research, utilizing the most current materials available. Those sources that are generally available to students appear in the list of further reading at the end of the sketch. New FeatureBrief Entries Beginning with Volume 3, Biography Today will include Brief Entries of approximately two pages each. These will cover people who are just com- ing to the attention of our readers, but haven't yet received a good deal of media coverage, so little research is available on them. Examples of peo- ple profiled in Brief Entries in this issue include Elizabeth Pine, winner of the 1993 Westinghouse Science Talent Search, Geoff Hooper, winner of the 1993 National Spelling Bee, and Daisy Fuentes, host of "MTV International" All Brief Entries are clearly marked in the table of contents and at the beginning of the entry. Indexes To provide easy access to entries, each issue of Biography Today contains a Name Index, a General Index covering occupations, organizations, and ethnic and minority origins, a Places of Birth Index, and a Birthday 5 S Index. These indexes cumulate with each succeeding issue. The three yearly issues are cumulated annually and are available ina hardbound volume, with cumulative indexes. Our Advisors This magazine was reviewed by an Advisory Board comprised of librarians, children's literature specialists, and reading instructors so thatwe could make sure that the concept of this publicationto provide a readable and accessible biographical magazine for young readerswason target. They evaluated the title as it developed, and their suggestions have proved invaluable. Any errors, however, are ours alone. We'd like to list the Advisory Board members, and to thank them for their efforts.

  • Las Aportaciones Al Cine De Steven Spielberg Son Múltiples, Pero Sobresale Como Director Y Como Productor
    Steven Spielberg Las aportaciones al cine de Steven Spielberg son múltiples, pero sobresale como director y como productor. La labor de un productor de cine puede conllevar cierto control sobre las diversas atribuciones de una película, pero a menudo es poco más que aportar el dinero y los medios que la hacen posible sin entrar mucho en los aspectos creativos de la misma como el guión o la dirección. Es por este motivo que no me voy a detener en la tarea de Spielberg como productor más allá de señalar sus dos productoras de cine y algunas de sus producciones o coproducciones a modo de ejemplo, para complementar el vistazo a la enorme influencia de Spielberg en el mundo cinematográfico: En 1981 creó la productora de cine “Amblin Entertainment” junto con Kathleen Kenndy y Frank Marshall. El logo de esta productora pasaría a ser la famosa silueta de la bicicleta con luna llena de fondo de “ET”, la primera producción de la firma dirigida por Spielberg. Otras películas destacadas con participación de esta productora y no dirigidas por Spielberg son “Gremlins”, “Los Goonies”, “Regreso al futuro”, “Esta casa es una ruina”, “Fievel y el nuevo mundo”, “¿Quién engañó a Roger Rabbit?”, “En busca del Valle Encantado”, “Los picapiedra”, “Casper”, “Men in balck”, “Banderas de nuestros padres” & “Cartas desde Iwo Jima” o las series de televisión “Cuentos asombrosos” y “Urgencias” entre muchas otras películas y series. En 1994 fundaría con Jeffrey Katzenberg y David Geffen la productora y distribuidora DreamWorks, que venderían al estudio Viacom en 2006 tras participar en éxitos como “Shrek”, “American Beauty”, “Náufrago”, “Gladiator” o “Una mente maravillosa”.

NOTES Remedying Environmental Racism Rachel D. Godsil In 1982, protesters applied the techniques of nonviolent civil diso­ bedience to a newly recognized form of racial discrimination. 1 The protesters, both black and white, attempted to prevent the siting of a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)2 landfill in predominantly black War­ ren County, North Carolina.3 In the end, the campaign failed. None­ theless, it focused national attention on the relationship between pollution and minority communities4 and prompted the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) to study the racial demographics of hazard­ ous waste sites. s The GAO report found that three out of the four commercial haz­ ardous waste landfills in the Southeast United States were located in 1.

  • No 57 October 1988 AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
    THE rCOLFOAlSf f I folk «r 1 No 57 October 1988 AD ASTRA PER ASPERA October 1988 COLFEIAN the Chronicles of Colfe's School and of the Old Colfeians' Association The Master, Richard Scriven, planting a tree on the occasion of the Leathersellers' cricket match, 26th June, 1988 following the opening of the new Preparatory School on 23rd June. Mr Scriven's father laid the Foundation Stone for the Main School Building in 1964. ISSN 0010-0670 COVER DESIGN With a change in the format of the Colfeian, it was felt appropriate to change also the design of the cover.'The design chosen for this year at least, emphasises continuity. It is the design used on every issue from vol.1 no.l in December 1900 until vol.17 no. 67 in December 1939. In those days the Colfeian was the magazine of the Old Colfeians, while from 1902 the school had its own magazine, Colfensia. In 1951 the two magazines combined, thus beginning the present sequence of the Colfeian. The original cover, now being re-used, was designed by Charles J. Folkard whose signature it bears. More on this eminent Old Colfeian appears on another page. For his design, Folkard drew the heraldic stone which hung over the entrance to Colfe's Almshouses in Lewisham, depicting the arms of Abraham Colfe and the Leathersellers' Company. As a result of the school's celebration of Folkard this year, which accompanied the acquisition of some of his original drawings, the stone itself has been re-discovered. Since the demolition of the almshouses, it has lain, albeit somewhat damaged and begrimed in the vaults of Manor House, Lee.
