    New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era 1910-1920 Exhibit at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, New Jersey October 2015 Organized by The Monmouth County Archives Division of the Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon Gary D. Saretzky, Curator Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era, 1910-1920 About one hundred years ago, during the 1910-1920 decade in America, the economy boomed and the Gross National Product more than doubled. Ten million Americans bought automobiles, most for the first time. Ford’s Model T, produced with then revolutionary assembly line methods, transformed family life for owners. Such personal “machines” led to paved roads and the first traffic light, reduced the need for blacksmiths and horses, increased the demand for auto mechanics and gas stations, and, when not caught up in traffic jams, sped up daily life. Some owners braved dirt roads to drive to the Jersey Shore, where thousands thronged to see the annual Baby Parade in Asbury Park. While roads at the start of the decade were barely adequate for travel in the emerging auto boom, New Jersey became a leader in the advocacy and construction of improved thoroughfares. Better road and rail transportation facilitated both industrial and agricultural production, bringing such new products as commercially grown blueberries from Whitesbog, New Jersey, to urban dwellers. In the air, history was made in 1912, when the first flight to deliver mail between two government post offices landed in South Amboy.

    Futurama - sesong 1 [3 DVD] Futurama - sesong 1 [3 DVD] Futurama Season 1 Peter Avanzino, Susie Dietter, Mark Ervin, Ron Hughart, Jeff Lynch, Brian Sheesley 20th Century Fox 1999 SF Norge 4:3 Fullskjerm Dolby Digital 2.0 320 min. 2 5 The future's so bright, etc. Når man har prestert en så genial serie som The Simpsons, kan man ikke unngå en smule oppmerksomhet rundt lanseringen av en ny serie, og Futurama har da også blitt godt mottatt av medier og publikum helt siden starten. Nå er det endelig duket for DVD-utgivelse, og akkurat som den første sesongen av The Simpsons, leveres Futurama på 3 DVD-plater. Både innpakningen, menyene og ekstramaterialet minner mye om Simpsons-pakken. (I grunnen minner hele Futurama nokså mye om The Simpsons men det skulle vel ikke overraske stort.) Hver av episodene er forsynt med tildels ganske festlige gruppe-kommentarer med en god håndfull av de ansvarlige, blant dem Groening selv og hans medskyldige David X. Cohen, og dessuten gjerne noen av skuespillerne og designere. Det er oftest vel verdt innsatsen å se episodene to ganger - med og uten følgekommentar. Når det gjelder det øvrige bonusmaterialet er det dessverre ikke LIKE interessant. Vi får en kort 5- minutter lang dokumentar som serien på disc 3 (verdt å se), alle platene har et par utklipte scener, og på disc 1 kan man lese seg gjennom manus til en av episodene. Ellers er det ikke så fryktelig mye å ta tak i. Jo, et galleri av tidlige konsept-tegninger med et par gjemte videosnutter på disc 3 er også greit å bla igjennom.

The thesis investigates how these heroes' behaviour echoes a patriotic, conservative construction of the modern American as created through speeches given by George W. Bush in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001 . The thesis examines the hero in six primary sources: the war films We Were Soldiers, Behind Enemy Lines and The Great Raid and the action films Collateral Damage, Man on Fire and The Punisher. By analyzing the ideological subtext, political content, visual strategies and generic implications of the films, as well as the binary constructions of a selection of Bush speeches, and by reviewing historical representations of American male heroes on film produced in the wake of political events, the thesis concludes that the six films mobilize the USA's conservative viewpoint towards war and military action, and in concert with the speeches, contribute to an ongoing militarization of visual culture.

The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation, that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the homefront. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.
