Live Sports Media The What, How and Why of Sports Broadcasting Second Edition - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: xv Preface Athletic competitions have affected how people perceive life and their roles within social groups since the ancient Olympic Games began in Greece in 776 BC, and most certainly back even farther before recorded history. On the North American continent for more than 1,000 years, the game of lacrosse has affected the social rela- tions among groups of native people, their tribes, and their families. Before a game, people would meet for ceremonial feasts and agree upon the stakes and rules. These meetings helped develop relations between nations, families, and competitors. In some cases, tribes would play a game of lacrosse to settle disputes instead of taking up arms against each other in battle. Sport continues to be a powerful social force, disseminating and reinforcing the values that regulate how people behave, setting examples for how to go about attain- ing goals and determining acceptable solutions for problems. And it presents indi- viduals and groups with a means to escape from the reality of their daily lives, if only for a few hours, into a world of entertainment and celebration populated by talented, charismatic stars capable of remarkable performances, powerful leaders, and teams, all with their legions of adoring followers. The word “sport” itself came into English in the late 14th century as “disport,” meaning a diversion that carried one away from work or serious matters, a recreation or amusement. Its origin is in the Latin verb “portare,” to carry. When you imagine how difficult daily life would have been in the 1300s, any recreation or amusement must have been a relief and a welcome escape
THIS RADICAL LAND - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel, And they tortured the timber, and stripped all the land. Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken, And they wrote it all down as the progress of man. John Prine, “Paradise”1 What happens when the past’s oldest witness comes crashing down dead? A new day will dawn . . . but over what? Where are we, who are we, when the bough breaks? Bostonians opened their eyes on a Wednesday morning in 1876 to opaque February skies bleakly blanketing a city made suddenly strange. At 7 p.m. the evening before, the enormous Great Elm on the famous Boston Common had been toppled by a hard wind.2 Of course, trees fall all the time with never a thought spared them, but the Great Elm was dif- ferent. It was famous in the nineteenth-century as an emissary from the past, and it appears ubiquitously in prose, poem, and print, a people’s treasured heirloom, believed to be among the last living witnesses to the young nation’s milestones; its loss was disorienting. Paul Revere, on his 1775 midnight ride, was rumored to have passed by the tree
Fundamentals of Discrete Element Methods for Rock Engineering - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: PREFACE This book is a summary of our collaborative teaching and research efforts over the last two decades relating to the subject of discrete element methods (DEM) and its applications to rock mechanics and rock engineering. We have not intended this book to be a thorough presentation of the most current cutting- edge research subjects in the fields of DEM and its applications in geosciences and geoengineering – because the advances are occurring too rapidly. Instead we present some fundamental concepts behind the basic theories and tools of DEM, its historical development and its wide scope of applications in geology, geophysics and rock engineering. We hope that, with this moderate ambition, it may be more helpful and useful for a larger number of practicing engineers, students and researchers alike and serve as a starting platform for more advanced and in-depth further studies. Unlike almost all books available on the general subject of DEM, this book includes coverage of both explicit and implicit DEM approaches, namely the distinct element methods and discontinuous deforma- tion analysis (DDA) for both rigid and deformable blocks and particle systems, and also the discrete fracture network (DFN) approach for fluid flow simulations. Actually the latter is also a discrete approach of importance for rock mechanics and rock engineering. In addition, brief introductions to some alternative approaches are also provided, such as percolation theory and Cosserat micro-mechanics equivalence to particle systems, which often appear hand in hand with the DEM in the literature. We provide a presentation of the fundamentals of the governing equations of the discrete systems concerning motion, deformation, fluid flow and heat transfer, to an extent that is currently considered in some available DEM codes. Special attention is given to constitutive models of rock fractures and fracture system characterization methods. These two issues are the basic building blocks of DEM and also have the most significant impacts on the performance and uncertainty of the DEM models. The DEMs were pioneered and continuously developed by Dr P. A. Cundall, the creator of the distinct element methods, and Dr Genhua Shi, the creator of DDA, block theory and numerical manifold method. The authors learned DEM basics from them and received continuous inspirations and encour- agements. This book presents only some basics of the distinct element methods and discontinuous deformation analysis, only small parts of their outstanding contributions. The first author expresses his special gratitude to Professor Xuefu Yu in China, who led the author into the fields of rock mechanics and numerical modeling in late 1970s and provided continuous guidance and encouragements
High-energy ball milling Mechanochemical processing of nanopowders - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Nanotechnology is an area of science and technology where dimensions and toler- ances in the range of 0.1 nm to 100 nm play a critical role. Nanotechnology encom- passes precision engineering as well as electronics, electromechanical systems and mainstream biomedical applications in areas as diverse as gene therapy, drug deliv- ery and novel drug discovery techniques. Nanostructured materials present exciting opportunities for manipulating structure and properties at the nano scale and the ability to engineer novel structures at the molecular level has led to unprecedented opportunities for materials design. This new book provides detailed insights into the synthesis/structure and property relationships of nanostructured materials. This is a valuable book for materials scientists, mechanical and electronic engineers and medical researchers.
Silent Conflict A Hidden History of Early Soviet-Western Relations - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: It is not easy to study the history of Soviet foreign policy or Soviet relations with the West. Until the beginning of the 1990s the Soviet archives were closed tight. After the collapse and dismemberment of the Soviet Union in 1991, the archives gradually opened, but only partially. Sometimes papers were opened only to be closed again. Russian archivists had tens of thou- sands of papki, or files, in their care and, not always knowing what was in them, were reluctant to open them to researchers. These include, inter alia, the important party archives for the inter-war years at Rossiiskii gosudarstven- nyi arkhiv sotsial’no-politicheskoi istorii (RGASPI) and the diplomatic papers of the Arkhiv vneshnei politiki Rossiiskoi Federatsii (AVPRF), the archives of the Russian foreign ministry. In AVPRF there were and are all sorts of dif- ficulties. Researchers have no access to inventories, so it’s like playing poker when asking archivists for files. Sometimes the files are rich, and you win, and sometimes not, and you lose. Computers were forbidden for a number of years, and photocopies were so costly as to make a new arrival gasp for air. You got used to the impediments and learned to function around them. The excitement of new discoveries and uncharted ground made you forget the numerous irritations

Relaying Cinema in Midcentury Iran Material Cultures in Transit - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: 1 Midcentury Film companies in Iran in the early 1960s did not always pay careful attention to their design elements, but Azhir Film had the ambition to bring its films, and especially its new release Zarbat (The Strike, Khachikian, 1964), into the world of midcentury cinema with a memorable design scheme. The film’s creators did not realistically expect it to produce revenues outside of Iran, although they teased this possibility in the press as the project moved through various stages of its production. 1 The primary aim, rather, was to create a certain kind of cinematic experience when the film was released. The release called upon modern design’s global ambitions at a time when packing movie houses in Tehran still typically meant securing a well-traveled film print. A stubborn disagreement between filmmakers had left a lot riding on this particular crime thriller. Film studios in Iran tried to avoid compet- ing releases, but this time, during a coveted release slot after the start of spring and the Iranian New Year, two producers refused to compro- mise. The Strike, produced by Josef Vaezian and directed by Samuel Khachikian, each of whom was coming off of a string of successful films, would be released the same week as the rival producer and for- mer Khachikian collaborator Mehdi Missaghieh’s Ensan- ha (Human Beings, Aghamaliyan). Industry professionals debated the ethics of this in the press, but neither producer would move aside. 2 The Strike’s dis
