  • Visions of Electric Media Electric of Visions
    TELEVISUAL CULTURE Roberts Visions of Electric Media Ivy Roberts Visions of Electric Media Television in the Victorian and Machine Ages Visions of Electric Media Televisual Culture Televisual culture encompasses and crosses all aspects of television – past, current and future – from its experiential dimensions to its aesthetic strategies, from its technological developments to its crossmedial extensions. The ‘televisual’ names a condition of transformation that is altering the coordinates through which we understand, theorize, intervene, and challenge contemporary media culture. Shifts in production practices, consumption circuits, technologies of distribution and access, and the aesthetic qualities of televisual texts foreground the dynamic place of television in the contemporary media landscape. They demand that we revisit concepts such as liveness, media event, audiences and broadcasting, but also that we theorize new concepts to meet the rapidly changing conditions of the televisual. The series aims at seriously analyzing both the contemporary specificity of the televisual and the challenges uncovered by new developments in technology and theory in an age in which digitization and convergence are redrawing the boundaries of media.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin. [ 2 ] EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, 1789–2005 First Administration of GEORGE WASHINGTON APRIL 30, 1789, TO MARCH 3, 1793 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES—GEORGE WASHINGTON, of Virginia.

  • Spoolbank Projectors
    SPOOLBANK PROJECTORS Compiled by Soterios Gardiakos with an introduction by John Barnes July 24, 2008 May 1, 2010 June 31, 2010 October 20, 2010 November 26, 2010 UNIGRAPHICS INC. Aurora, Kalamata 2001 Copyright 2001 Soterios Gardiakos ISBN 0-9777537-1-9 http://www.bioscope.biz/ http://gardiakos.com/ UNIGRAPHICS INC 2 Aurora, Illinois. U.S.A. Kalamata, Messinia, Greece 3 SPOOLBANK PROJECTORS 4 INTRODUCTION Collectors of early cinematograph projectors are a rare breed. There are many more collectors of ciné cameras than there are collectors of projectors. This is perhaps understandable as cameras are lighter and more compact and easier to store than the heavy metal projection equipment. Furthermore, cameras are much rarer than projectors. Obviously, many more of the latter were made in order to supply the countless exhibitors of films that appeared during the first decade of the cinema’s history, whereas there were relatively few cinematographers. Owing to the hold Thomas A. Edison had over the cinema industry in America, the number of different manufacturers of cine apparatus was relatively small compared with countries such as England, France, Germany and Italy, where inventors and manufacturers had a free rein. So far, very little research has been done by film historians into this aspect of cinematography. I myself have made a start by examining the apparatus available in England during the last years of the 19th Century. Almost nothing has been accomplished along these lines in the United States, that is until Soterios Gardiakos recently entered the field and shown a rare passion and expertise for this subject.

  • Of New Jersey
    ···- ·---··--·--·--· -····- Speeches on the Constitution oF New Jersey by Governor Charles Edison N.J. STATE LIBRARY P.O. BOX 520 TRENTON,NJ08625-0520 I 9 4 3 ·~ . ..•' .( r ,• Speeches on the Constitution of New Jersey by Governor Charles Edison FROM THE SECOND ANNUAL MESSAGE TO THE LEGISLATURE January 12, 1943 The most important problem before the State of New Jersey is an old one. It is a problem that almost every governor since the Civil War has recognized. As the years have passed, the problem has grown steadily worse, and new aspects of it have cropped up to plague each succeeding generation of citizens. The problem is how to obtain modern, effective, responsible, and economical state government under the constitution of 1844. That constitution was perhaps satisfactory for a rural, thinly settled state, such as New Jersey was a hundred years ago.
