The medium-sized vessel, designed mainly for duty in the Atlantic Ocean, wi I I be constructed with funds from the National Science Foundation. In a letter endorsing the name, NSF Director H. Guyford Stever said, "I think you have presented a persuasive argument for cal I ing the new ship OCEANUS. Seven-letter names are reputed to bring ships good luck." The word Oceanus has an interesting etymology, with many references in classical I iterature. In Homer, Oceanus is the origir of the gods; the progeny of Earth in Myths ~ the Greeks and Romans; the god of the great primeval water in Hesiod. It means "the great outer sea, the stream bel ieved to encircle the earth," according to Webster's. Oceanus is the Latin translation of the Greek, Okeanos, and some of the earl lest references speak of Okeanos as "begetter of a I I th i ngs. " I n cons i der i ng the name for the new sh i p, LI oyd' s Reg i ster of Yachts was consulted for vessels previously named OCEANUS, and closest to home was a sail ing boat built in 1843 in Plymouth. In 1971, two vessels bore the name -- both with registrations in Balt­ imore, Maryland. Further investigation led to the Library of Congress Wreck Chart of 1893, which I ists the schooner OCEANUS abandoned off the coast of Delaware in 1890. Jane's Fighting Ships, also checked as a possible source, mentions no vessels with the name. On October 17, 1967 the Inst itution obtained a trademark on "Oceanus" from the United States Patent Office for the magazine that had been ed i ted by Jan Hahn since February, 1952. I n a trademark search conducted on the name, only two registrations OCEANUS (continued) were found for Oceanus, but both had been cancel led. Both referred to a dentifrice! The new research ship OCEANUS was designed by John W. Gilbert Associates, Inc. of Boston. It is to be 179 feet in length, with accommodations for 25 and a speed of more than 15 knots. OCEANUS wi I I be capable of operating around the world, but special emphasis in design has been placed on sea conditions char­ acteristic of the North Atlantic Ocean. W.H.O.I. PHYSICIST ATTENDS SCIENTIFIC MEETING IN MOSCOW John Whitehead of the Department of Physical Oceanography was recently one of 44 scientists from the United States to present a paper at the International Congress of Theoretical and Appl ied Mechanics in Moscow. Entitled, "Observations on the Dynamics of Rayleigh-Benard Convection," his paper was among those selected by the Congress from 388 originally submitted from this country. The conference, which was held at Moscow University from August 21-25, was attended by over 2,000 scientists from al lover the world, with more than 200 papers presented. Language wasn't a barrier, however, as most of the papers were presented in Engl ish, Whitehead said. Translations were available from Engl ish to Rus- s ian, and Russ i an to Eng I ish in some cases. A sma I I number of papers were given in German and French. Whitehead described the Congress as a major scientific meet­ ing in that every field of science rei ies to a greater or lesser extent on theoretical and appl ied mechanics. For his own part, he has studied a process which occurs in the oceans, the atmospheres, even in the sun, as wei I as in many engineering situations. The simplest example of this process, which takes place when a thin layer of fluid is heated from below, is cal led Rayleigh-Benard Convection. In addition to this basic research, Whitehead has also been model ling oceanic phenomena in the laboratory here. Whitehead feels that science in Russia is more restricted than it is In this country, in the sense that young scientists there are "assigned" a problem to investigate and don't have the opportunity to fol low their own I ine of interest necessari Iy. They do, however, appear to be more secure in their positions. Whi Ie in Russia, apart from the Congress, Whitehead visited the circus, opera, and ballet.

"Tagged as a baby, recaptured as a giant" TAGGING PROGRAM ACHIEVES RECORD TUNA RETURN According to Frank Mather, a bluefin tuna that was "tagged as a baby" was caught again after six years off Grand Banks in August. The fish was the longest-tagged 'school tuna' to be recaptured since the beginning of Mather's tagging program. Originally captured and tagged off Martha's Vineyard in 1966 - reportedly at two feet and ten pounds - the tuna was recently brought in measuring six feet and weighing 265 pounds. Captain Yoshihiro Akiyama reported that the fish was caught by longl ine from his vessel, SUMIYOSHI MARU NO. 18, off the tail of Grand Banks August 10. It has been estimated that the bluefin was about a year old when tagged. Its size when recaptured was above the average for seven years of age, Mather said. The Japanese longl iner responsible for the catch has received the standard reward of $5, and is now el igible for the $300 annual lottery sponsored by the International Commission on the Conser­ vation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). Mather's Cooperative Game Fish Tagging Program, which began In 1954, has succeeded since then in the tagging of 9,000 sma I I blue­ fin (school tuna) from Maryland to Cape Cod. Mather points out that some 40 of these fishes have been reported caught in Europe, but most are recaptured in the general release area. The majority, In fact, are caught within the first 30 months after being tagged, Mather said. Startl ing return rates of from 30 to 45% suggest that the fish stock is being heavily exploited, and an objective of the tagging program is better protection of these fish.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Complete Films of Buster Keaton by Jim Kline The Complete Films of Buster Keaton by Jim Kline. The Three Ages (1923) Directed by Buster Keaton and Eddie Cline. Buster Keaton, Margaret Leahy, Wallace Beery (56 min.) The Three Ages is one of the first old movies I ever saw. It stars Buster Keaton and takes place in three different time periods, the Stone Age, the Roman Age and the Modern (1920s) Age. The girl who stars alongside with Buster is an English girl who could not act to save her life. She won a beauty contest and her prize was to be in a movie. I love this movie. In all of the different ages the same basic thing is going on in different times. In all three ages Buster is challenged by the bad guy (Wallace Beery) to a fight for the girl. In the Stone Age, they clomp each other on the head with clubs. In the Roman Age he is challenged to a chariot race, but the day of the race there is a blizzard (in Rome?). So, he puts sled runners on his chariot and fastens on dogs instead of horses. How ingenious! In the Modern Age, the battle is football. In all of these times you have to imagine little Buster up against BIG, BIG Wallace. it is just funny. One of my favorite parts is in the climax of the Modern Age. Buster is running from the cops (like in so many other movies). He goes through obstacles and comes to a point where he is supposed to jump from the top of one building to the next, so he sets up a diving board on the roof, jumps--and misses! He falls down the side of the building.

  • Mimodiegetic and Volodiegetic Levels of Diegesis, Together with Variable Frame Rates, As Tools to Define a Tentative Early Film Language
    Lund University Christoffer Markholm Centre for Languages and Literature FiMN09, spring 2017 Master Program in Film and Media History Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Erik Hedling Seminar Date: 31-05-2017 Mimodiegetic and Volodiegetic Levels of Diegesis, Together with Variable Frame Rates, as Tools to Define a Tentative Early Film Language Abstract This thesis focuses on the era of early film, with the aim to address an almost forgotten film language. Three aspects have been taken into account—variable frame rates, suppressed sound and hearing, and projection speeds—to analyze several examples of film to ascertain the techniques used by early filmmakers. I have also applied my findings of the techniques of yesteryear to contemporary films that have tried to imitate the early era production methods, in order to present the possibilities and difficulties in reproducing and utilizing the “old” language. The thesis also examines what separated the early era from the modern era, thus identifying future avenues of research. In so doing, I have introduced two novel diegetic terms, namely mimodiegetic and volodiegetic, with the former referring to sound imitating the visuals and the latter relating to a volatile sound rising from the image. Neither of the terms represents a technique, or, for that matter, are restricted to the early era—both rather provide a means to define a specific technique. Finally, based on my findings, I argue that the early film language is problematic to utilize fully today but that it is, at the same time, not confined to the early era. Keywords: silent era, diegesis, frame rate, frames per second, early film, intertitles, projection, Girl Shy, The Movies, Fiddlesticks, One Week, Neighbors, Easy Street, Ask Father, The Artist, La Antena, Dr.

Cert tbc Almost 10 years in the making, The Man From Mo’ Wax tells the remarkable story of James Lavelle, one of the most enigmatic figures in contemporary British culture. Drawing upon meticulous research and exclusive access to personal home footage, debut director Matthew Jones assembles archive footage, stills and original interviews to chart Lavelle’s phenomenal rise. It includes him establishing Mo’ Wax as one of the UK’s most significant independent record labels and redefining what it means to be a DJ. In this film portrait that reflects the boom and bust of the modern music industry and a life that takes in some decidedly flawed decision- making (both personal and professional), Lavelle emerges as an innovative artist who thinks big and consistently overcomes adversity.

Introducción En este trabajo monográfico me dispongo a estudiar la figura del actor y director de cine mudo norteamericano, Buster Keaton, bajo el título de Buster Keaton: el cómico absoluto. Aunque la idea inicial para este trabajo consistía en la contraposición de Buster Keaton con la figura de Charles Chaplin, ésta se fue perfilando hasta concretarse en el tema actual. La intención de comparar a los dos grandes cómicos del cine mudo, pretendía revalorizar la figura de Buster Keaton con la intención de demostrar que en varios aspectos, su genialidad supera a del maestro británico. Sin embargo, leyendo a Stéphane Goudet entendí que esta contraposición no era una prioridad, ya que como dice el autor: “Se acabó la época en que era necesario legitimar a Buster Keaton para garantizarle el lugar central que sin duda merece dentro de la historia del cine mundial. Ya no hace falta, pues, oponerlo a Charles Chaplin por mera estrategia”1.

  • Deconstructing Keaton's Films
    Visionary Prefab in the Modern Age: Deconstructing Keaton’s Films By Cristian Suau1 HIS essay analyses Buster Ke- Taton’s masterpieces: One Week (1920); The Haunted House (1921) and The Electric House (1922). His filmic work reveals the montage of mass housing prefabrication in the Modern Age in the United States: repetition and mechanisation of the building production; generic lay- outs; and modular like–catalogue constructions. Rather than following a sequential building process, these cases are executed as mere acci- dents or flaws. Buster Keaton’s films however show ironically a non–stan- dardized architecture. 81 This study analyses and com- pares Keaton’s film production with Catalog Modern House,2 a pre- fab dwelling manufactured and shipped by Sears, Roebuck and Co3 in the 20th century.
