  • 2. Díl – Tryskový Muž Aneb Jaké Je to Létat Jako Pták Poměrně Náročnou Otázkou Pro Mě Bylo, Kterým Zajímavým Projektem Nebo Rekordem Začít
    2. díl – Tryskový muž aneb jaké je to létat jako pták Poměrně náročnou otázkou pro mě bylo, kterým zajímavým projektem nebo rekordem začít. Vybírat je opravdu z čeho, protože svět letectví se žene kupředu závratným tempem, takže se ukázalo, že potíží není najít něco, o čem psát, ale naopak vybrat z ohromného množství to, čím začít. Po opravdu náročném rozmýšlení jsem nakonec dospěl k rozhodnutí, že seriál začnu představením toho, co v té nejčistší formě naplňuje odvěkou lidskou touhu létat. Jinak řečeno, začnu hned pěkně zostra. Let ptáků člověka inspiroval odedávna. Důkazy o tom nám poskytují již nejrůznější staré mýty. V průběhu staletí se objevovali vynálezci, kteří navrhovali létajicí aparáty, tu s větším, tu s menším úspěchem. Až konečně bratři Wrightové vstoupili na tu správnou cestu. Jejich následovníci po celém světě zkonstruovali ohromné množství letadel a létajicích zařízení. Žádné z nich však zcela nenaplňovalo onu odvěkou představu o letu, jakým se vyznačují ptáci. Ať už proto, že se člověk vzduchem pohyboval v kovovém obalu, pevně přikurtován k sedačce, jak je tomu v případě letadel, nebo proto, že i když se vzduchem proháněl podobně jako pták, bez nějakých vnějších schránek, bylo to naneštěstí vždy jen jedním směrem, jak by si mohli parašutisté postesknout. Pro dosažení naprosté svobody létání, jak ji zažívají ptáci, by se tedy měly oba tyto přístupy zkombinovat. Zachovat na jedné straně svobodu parašutisty, ale na druhé straně ji doplnit o schopnost plně řídit svůj let, jak jsme na to zvyklí u letadel. Tohoto zadání se chytil švýcarský pilot a dobrodruh – Yves Rossy, známý taktéž jako Jetman, Tryskový muž.

  • Housing Tenure and Urban Unrest: Responding to Contemporary Rioting Through Housing-Related Mechanisms
    Housing tenure and urban unrest: Responding to contemporary rioting through housing-related mechanisms By: Gareth James Young A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning September 2016 Front Matter Abstract Abstract In 2011 England experienced the worst outbreak of urban unrest in a generation (Newburn, 2015). The cost to the public purse was significant, lives were lost and property destroyed. Immediate political pronouncements and media coverage reporting the disorder painted a picture of lawlessness and anarchy. The focus of responses from political figures and in mainstream media was on the declining moral and respect of those involved (Flint & Powell, 2012). The day before the riots the Department for Communities and Local Government launched a consultation seeking views on extending the powers of possession to social housing providers to make the process of eviction easier and more flexible. This consultation was updated on the 10 August 2011; just four days after the riots had begun, to reflect the disorder. Within this consultation a question was added as to whether more eviction powers needed to be given to housing providers to deal with situations such as riots. Despite vociferous contestation from organisations such as Shelter, the proposals passed into legislation under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act (2014). To this day there remains little evidence about the actual housing tenure of the rioters. Very little has since been discussed about the use of housing-related mechanisms as a suitable way of dealing with urban unrest.

TV's message: We're broke TELEVISION | Shows laugh and cry with us about our great national malaise Comments November 5, 2010 BY PAIGE WISER TV Critic/[email protected] Whatever happened to TV as escapism? Traditionally, we have turned to the small screen as a way to forget our pathetic problems, not be faced with them in high definition. But the poor recession even is affecting our precious TV leisure time, and the sets haven't looked so realistic since "Sanford and Son" ran a junkyard. MTV's "16 and Pregnant" has spun off into "Teen Mom," with the drama of underprivileged single moms taking the place of the overprivileged blonds of "Laguna Beach." A selection of other titles on the current schedule: "Downsized" "Outsourced" "Fairy Jobmother" "Design on a Dime" Even "The Apprentice" has acknowledged the economic downtown, with candidates who have been laid off or have failed companies. (Fittingly, the show hasn't been a ratings success; next season will be another installment of "Celebrity Apprentice.") Is Debbie Downer the head of programming these days? "TV producers are more in tune now that people are in bad shape," says Elayne Rapping, a pop culture expert with a particular interest in TV. "I don't think it's changed the TV landscape forever, nor has it changed it completely.

  • Yves “Jetman” Rossy
    Yves “JetMan” Rossy “When I grow up, I’m going to be pilots. With an S”. A profession of faith made as a child that was instilled in Yves Rossy the day he found himself on the branch of a tree unable to get down unaided. Today, he has become Jetman, the first man in the world to attach jet engines to a single wing and fly like Icarus. His story. Yves Rossy was born on the 27 of August 1959 in Neuchâtel (Switzerland). With his head in the clouds and his feet on the ground, Yves Rossy followed a technical apprenticeship and then graduated in engineering. An accomplished sportsman, his past and present pastimes include surfing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, skysurfing, parachuting, aerobatics, motorbike riding, rafting and hang-gliding, to name but a few. Flying under a jet wing is the culmination of a 30 year career interspersed with exploits and firsts. Fighter pilot Discovering the Mirage III supersonic fighter plane was certainly one of the high points of Yves Rossy’s career. He flew the aircraft for 17 years while at the same time piloting historic aircraft such as the Hunter and the Venom, one of England’s earliest jet fighters. In 1991 the idea arose to complete a multi-activity tour of Switzerland in a single day. On 3 July that year he began the day at the controls of a DC-9 and completed the challenge by riding a motorbike, snowboarding, skiing, mountaineering, paragliding, mountain biking, bungee-jumping, flying a helicopter, skydiving and white water rafting, followed by kayaking, driving a racing car, hanggliding, horse riding, running barefoot, water-skiing, wakeboarding and piloting a speed boat.

  • Console-Ing Passions Abstracts
    Console-ing Passions Abstracts Kristian Adamson, University of Sydney, Australia “Three Percent, Rounded Up: The Problem with Positive Representations of Women” In this paper I will present the results of my own research on the last thirty years of above-the-line creative labour in Hollywood. The changes in women’s participation in Hollywood as writers, producers and directors will be outlined, and sites of fracture in men’s dominance of the industry will be identified as part of the process of mapping the prevailing trends across the period. This demonstration of gender inequality in Hollywood will do more than merely confirm what might have already been suspected as true. The identifiably gendered divisions of labour in Hollywood will also be used to inform and propose methodological principles for researchers approaching other elements of the ‘cinematic institution’. To illustrate the utility of a more complete empirical understanding of Hollywood I will use the data compiled in my study to situate feminist engagement with post-feminist film within the context of an industry which not only excludes women but actively rewards men who do so. Post-feminist film has at its core an ambiguity. On the one hand it offers “positive representations” of empowered women and on the other these are always within a larger narrative framework that undermines feminist demands. This ambiguity has proven resilient and resulted in a kind of stalemate in recent debates about postfeminism. I argue that one means to think beyond this impasse is to combine an empirical analysis of creative labour practices with a critique of cinema centred on feminism as an ethical demand.
