The system of ATV repeater applications being veted by Graham Shirville to ensure a smooth passage through various RSGB committees has broken down. The problem was discussed at committee and it was agreed that I should write to the RSGB president on behalf of the club. This I did in March and am sad to report that other than a post card from Lambda House I have not had a reply and it is now June. The Kent ATV group have also taken the Step of writing to the RSGB president. I have not reproduced their letter. but the problems are on similar lines. On a brighter front I have just seen a copy of the ATV programme broadcast on HTV. Bob and Brian made two amiable subjects and although some sending up of what we do was inevitable, they both managed to put a across the positive side of ATV. Copy for CQTV has been at a record high and some has inevitable not made it into this issue apologies in advance if yours is among it. I have tried to edit it for interest balance and include one or two more pictures, That I hope brighten it up a little. New is golden oldie bit of past works that are no longer in print , for new members who will not have seen these older circuits. Let me know if you like it or have a favourit that you would like to see included.. 96 pages is all that the printer can manage to staple together but we are working on him. The Editorial team is coming together and I hope we are all coming out of overload and into a more creative roll, and that this is reflected in the magazine. The Electronic communication is bearing fruit, and E mail is arriving, as yet we have not had an complete article via the Information Super Highway so there is still a first for someone. The down side was a file from the draughtsman went astray on the Highway and had to be redrawn, His Electronic is reproducing a little pale. but hopefully that will be fixed before we get to the printers. In this issue we have covered the PIC micro as a special topic with an explanation and a programmer and an article that uses on in anger. If you are interested in this subject can I point you at Nigel C Gardners book which comes with an assembler and Simulator, I have also found a bargain source in AC Farnell’s of Leeds who have some at £5.89 as opposed to the usual £19. If you can find a way around there minimum order of £10 for non account customers, If

  • The Democrats: Desperately Seeking Defeat?
    Stanley Aronowitz The Democrats: Desperately Seeking Defeat? by Stanley Aronowitz here is an old saw of political forecasting: “it’s the economy, stupid.” TBill Clinton popularized it in his campaign to unseat George H. W. Bush and it seemed to work, despite Bush’s swift and apparently painless victory in the Gulf War (in retrospect it was not nearly as smooth as was initally reported). According to most assessments, the senior Bush was defeated by his failure to address the 1991-93 recession with bold interventions that appeared to recognize the issue, let alone make a real difference. A decade later the incumbent national administration led by senior Bush’s son, George, is presiding over a stubbornly flagging economy. Unemployment and underemployment stay high despite reports of economic growth, which in any case is fueled by vast imputs of fictitious capital: the government has issued more than $150 billion in unsupported cash; and the credit system has generated a huge consumer debt. More particularly, if many Americans are experiencing declining living standards—whether they have a full-time job or not—according to conventional wisdom the prospects for returning the president to a second term are said to be grim. If people don’t buy expensive consumer products such as autos, computers, electronic equipment, appliances and furniture it’s a sure sign they either don’t have the income (or the credit lines), or have lost confidence they can repay their accumulated loans so they stay put. Meanwhile they look to the government to help get them out of their binds.

  • Time Underestimation in Innovative Educational Projects in Iraq
    TIME UNDERESTIMATION IN EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIVE PROJECTS IN IRAQ KHALIS ABDUL RAHMAN AHMAD A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopy at the University of London Institute of Education December 1989 2 ABSTRACT Time is a highly significant element in the complex process of educational change. It bears on all the components of innovative projects. It influences decisions to embark on a particular change model or a strategy. And ultimately time affects adoption decisions. But in spite of such significance, world-wide experience of introducing innovative programmes shows frequent occurrence of time underestimation. This study attempts to explain the reasons behind the phenomenon of time underestimation in educational change. In the context of the Iraqi educational system, it appears that there are a number of reasons behind time underestimation in planning and implementing innovations. These can be grouped under two categories: economic and non-economic. The former explains the underestimation of time as a deliberate effort made by people in order to reduce the apparent cost of a lengthy process. The latter interprets the phenomenon by organizational, structural, or psychological factors. These include incomplete and weak situational analysis prior to introducing innovative projects, lack of coordination pertaining to prevalent work modes, predominance of a top-down change model the outcome of which is the absence of a feeling of ownership, lack of skilled and well-trained personnel, lack of clear-cut objectives and distinct features of projects, lack of dependable criteria for estimating the cost of projects, fear of accountability on the part of both the planners and the implementing bodies, lack of systematic and well-timed evaluation, and lack of interest or poor motivation.

  • The Virtual Community Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier
    The Virtual Community Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier by Howard Rheingold ADDISON-WESLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY Reading, MA Copyright © 1993 by Howard Rheingold "When you think of a title for a book, you are forced to think of something short and evocative, like, well, 'The Virtual Community,' even though a more accurate title might be: 'People who use computers to communicate, form friendships that sometimes form the basis of communities, but you have to be careful to not mistake the tool for the task and think that just writing words on a screen is the same thing as real community.'" – HLR We know the rules of community; we know the healing effect of community in terms of individual lives. If we could somehow find a way across the bridge of our knowledge, would not these same rules have a healing effect upon our world? We human beings have often been referred to as social animals. But we are not yet community creatures. We are impelled to relate with each other for our survival. But we do not yet relate with the inclusivity, realism, self-awareness, vulnerability, commitment, openness, freedom, equality, and love of genuine community. It is clearly no longer enough to be simply social animals, babbling together at cocktail parties and brawling with each other in business and over boundaries. It is our task--our essential, central, crucial task--to transform ourselves from mere social creatures into community creatures. It is the only way that human evolution will be able to proceed. M.

The History of Kirkuk Television and its Social and Cultural Impact 1967-1999-- Palarch’s Journal of Archaralogy of Egypt/Egyptogy 17(3), 389-402. ISSN 1567- 214X Key Words: Social History, Cultural History, Kirkuk, Television, Media. ABSTRACT The Television is a means of communication which combines between the voice and animation, it contributes to enhance the social and cultural consciousness of the audience through presenting educational programs and proper and healthy ways of living. Based on that, this research shades the light on the history of the Tv in Kirkuk between (1967-1999) and its cultural and social impact on the City’s society since its foundation in 1967 until 1999 where the station was moved to Baghdad for political reasons. INTRODUCTION From the second half of the 20th century, the Television began to play a significant role in social and cultural changes in society’s development, particularly in the developing countries as it has been the main source of different types of information. Since then, the Television has also been a means for creating political, social and economic process. What motivated me to write this research on documenting the history of media and communication in Kirkuk covers the 3rd quarter of the last century is due to a very limited interest in the topic both from the academia and the local newspapers.
