Meryl
Streep joins a group of
celebrities who are part of an
initiative to get kids
reading.
109- Meryl
Streep Reads 'The Three
Questions' for Children's
Literacy Program Storyline
Online
Los
Angeles - On Friday, May 17,
the SAG-AFTRA
Foundation
-- the
actor's union non-profit which
aims to help its guild members --
announced that the Academy
Award-winning
actress,
Meryl
Streep,
had teamed up with the charity's
children's literacy
program Storyline
Online.
Her collaboration with the
non-profit features a new
installment in Storyline Online's
celebrity book-reading program,
in which she
reads "The
Three
Questions," written
and illustrated by Jon J.
Muth.
The
children's book, adapted from a
story by Leo Tolstoy, is about a
boy who asks the big questions in
life, like: "What is the best
time to do things?", "Who is the
most important one?" and "What is
the right thing to do?"
Along
with Streep's reading, which is
available on the organization's
YouTube channel, Storyline Online
provides teachers with activity
guides (that follow Common Core
Standards) to accompany each book
reading. Readings by previous
celebrity partners, including
Terry Crews, Seth Meyers, Kristen
Bell and more are also available
on the platform.
"Aimed
at 2nd - 4th grade students,
these activities encourage
children
to engage in critical thinking
activities and explore the themes
of this book including knowledge,
curiosity, kindness and
friendship," the press release
states.
SAG-AFTRA
Foundation president and Heist 88
star Courtney B. Vance praised
Streep's participation in the
project.
"We
are honored and thrilled to
welcome one of the greatest
actors and storytellers of all
time, Ms. Meryl Streep, to our
family of readers here at
Storyline Online," Vance said.
"Meryl volunteered to read for
our children's literacy
initiative because of her
commitment to education and
advancing literacy, and we could
not have asked for a more
brilliant actor to bring this
beautiful and profound story to
life."
"Meryl
Streep's reading of The
Three Questions is an
exceptional addition to our
library, and we believe it will
have a significant impact on
millions of children and adults
alike," he added. "This story
will not only inspire a love of
books and reading, but will also
stir souls."
Storyline
Online's previously featured
celebrity
partners
include Chris Pine, Angela
Bassett, Rami Malek, Oprah
Winfrey, Viola Davis, Michelle
Yeoh, and Kyra Sedgwick
and dozens
more celebs have lent their
voices to be paired with creative
illustrations for the literacy
program.

Last
total solar eclipse for the
next
20 years
109-
Last
total solar eclipse for the
next
20 years in
the contiguous United
States.
On
April 8, 2024, the contiguous
United States will witness its
last total
solar eclipse for the next 20
years.
The moon's
total eclipse shadow will cross
the Rio Grande into Texas at 1:25
p.m. Central time and trace an
arc through 15 states all the way
to Maine before crossing into
Canada. The lower 48 states won't
see another total solar eclipse
until August 2044.
While
many Americans are lucky enough
to live in the direct path of the
total eclipse, most will need to
travel to see it. We've put
together this guide on how you
can safely see the eclipse, and
how to find spots across the
country likely to have the best
viewing experience
Eclipse
basics
Partial vs. total solar
eclipses
No
matter where they are in the
continental U.S., members will
see a partial solar eclipse,
in which the moon covers some but
not all of the sun. Cities that
are close to the centerline of
the eclipse but outside the path
of totality, such as Houston and
Cincinnati, will see the sun
almost entirely covered. Cities
that are farther away will see
less coverage. Los Angeles, for
example, will only see about half
the sun covered at maximum
partial eclipse. The partial
eclipse lasts a few hours,
depending on where it's
viewed.
Members
who live in or travel to a narrow
strip that stretches from the Rio
Grande Valley in Texas across
South, Midwest, and Northern New
England will see a total
solar eclipse, meaning the sun
will be 100% covered by the
moon--an event referred to as
"totality."
Though
the total eclipse will only last
a few minutes at each location,
it's the most spectacular part of
the event: stars are visible
during the day, and it's the only
time the sun's corona is visible
to the naked
eye.
Safe
viewing
Proper
eye protection is necessary to
view a partial solar eclipse;
even when partially covered, the
sun can still cause serious eye
damage. Regular sunglasses aren't
enough, either--those who plan to
look directly at the partial
eclipse should plan ahead and buy
specialized eclipse viewers that
use appropriate solar-filtering
material.
Another
tried-and-true method is to make
a simple pinhole camera by poking
a hole in a sheet of paper and
letting the sun project through
it onto another surface.
AAA
TIP: Many eclipse events have
eclipse glasses and other viewers
available, either for free or for
purchase, but it's always
possible they'll run out. Getting
your viewers ahead of time
ensures you won't be left out.
Eye
protection isn't necessary during
the brief total solar eclipse
since the sun is completely
obscured. However, viewers should
take caution to ensure that the
total eclipse has truly begun
before removing protective eye
gear, and be sure to put it back
on immediately as soon as the
total eclipse transitions back
into a partial
eclipse.
Where to see
the 2024 eclipse
There are many considerations
when deciding where to go to view
an eclipse.
All
else equal, lower elevations are
better than higher ones, as they
are less likely to develop cloud
cover.
Check
weather forecasts starting a few
days before the eclipse. Cloud
cover and rainy weather are very
common across much of the U.S. in
early April. If cloud cover is
reliably predicted for your
viewing spot, look for another
spot with better odds of clear
skies.
Because
the moon's shadow is a circle,
viewing spots closer to the
centerline of the eclipse path
will see longer total eclipses.
In Ohio, Toledo is on the edge of
totality and will only see 1
minute and 53 seconds of total
eclipse. Viewers willing to
travel an hour southeast to
Sandusky, however, will see a
total eclipse that lasts twice as
long: 3 minutes and 46
seconds.
Public
gathering places such as parks
and observatories will be crowded
the day of the eclipse. Arrive
early or seek an out-of-the-way
venue instead. Expect traffic
after the eclipse, too, as many
viewers try to leave at
once.

109- Animation
is key on children's
programs
During
the first half of 2023,
children's blocks on generalist
channels have progressed, and
animated series have maintained
their strong positions. In terms
of contents, trends evolve around
creativity and learning,
involvement in the community and
a more sophisticated content for
tweens
Médiamétrie's
international department Glance
analyses the kids' shows market
at MIPJunior and reveals global
content trends.
Animation is key on children's
programs
In 2023,
animated series consolidate their
leading position: they represent
77% of the top programmes over
the five countries studied (+5
points vs. the first half of
2022), notably thanks to their
significant increase in Spain.
Only the United Kingdom saw a
drop in animated series, in
response to its entertainment
programmes' increase. Meanwhile,
in the first half of 2023,
entertainment programmes slightly
raised their share compared to
the best-performing children's
content a year before, ranking
now as the second most popular
genre after animation (vs. 4th
genre in the first half of 2022).
In France, Frogger and Lego
Masters stood out, while Oti's
Boogie Beebies, Gigglequiz, and
Justin's House were successful in
the UK among children's
demos.
Over
January-June 2023, 28 new shows
(-2 shows vs. the first half of
2022) appeared in the national
tops 20 and tops 3 by channel
rankings of best performing
children programmes, across the
five studied countries. Spain
asserts its leading position with
a total of 11 launches, partly
thanks to its main channel Clan.
It is followed by France and
Italy with respectively 7 and 6
shows launched. Animation
accounted for 20 of the 28
launches. In Italy, Spain and
France, content about little
monsters was a common theme: for
example, Momonsters on Rai Yoyo,
Monster High on Nickelodeon and
Trollstopia on Boomerang.
There is a
relative stability on the top 10
programmes in all 5 countries.
However, Grizzy and the Lemmings
enters this top ranking for the
1st time at 9th
place. Also, Bluey was for the
first time the most watched show
in the first half of 2023,
totalling 46.8 million viewed
hours among the children
audience, based on linear
channels only. Bluey is broadcast
on both linear channels and
Disney+, with complementary
viewing patterns. In the UK, for
example, Bluey reaches an average
of 1.5 times more children aged
between 4 and 9 each month on
Cbeebies than on Disney+.
However, in terms of viewed
hours, children spend 1.7 times
more on Disney+ than on
Cbeebies.
In 2023,
there is an increase of
children's blocks on generalist
channels compared to children's
channels.
On those
channels, several kids' block
such as Okoo on France 5,
Latte+Cartoni on Italia 1 and the
CITV block on ITV1 are achieving
significant growth.
" Kids
blocks on generalist channels
have well performed and linear TV
for kids are a good flagship for
the shows, completed by the
digital offers. Channels adapt
their linear and digital
strategies according to the
countries."
Candice
Alessandra, Client & Research
Manager at Glance
Trends:
creativity and learning,
involvement in the community and
a more sophisticated content for
tweens
In terms
of contents, Glance has
highlighted 3 major areas into,
across and beyond the
"kids-verse".
Creativity
and learning is a strong
dimension around which programmes
have developed. Titles
illustrating this category
included "Get Set Galactic,"
"Lyla in the loop" and
"Wildlifers."
Launched
on Cbeebies, "Get Set Galactic"
is a science-themed game show set
on board the Space Technology
& Research Station. Get set
Galactic ranked 5th best show for
children aged 4 to 15 in the UK
and was the best launch.
Lyla in
the loop follows Lyla, a
7-year-old girl, who lives in a
big city. With her family and
community, they address with
creativity and thinking a range
of everyday problems. The US
animated series is set to debut
on February 5, 2024 on PBS.
The live
action series "Wildlifers"
features a duo of aspiring young
documentary filmmakers as they
ponder life, the universe, and
nature. On air since May on the
Australian public channel ABC ME,
it multiplied by almost 2 the
audience share of the afternoon
slot among the 5 to 12 kids.
Helping to
protect the community and trying
to fit in marks another popular
trend with series like "Mystery
Lane," "Kiya and the Kimoja
Heroes" and "Kids on the
Block."
"Mystery
Lane," set in London, is a
"Sherlock Homes" kind series. A
pair of hamsters solves mysteries
thanks to the observation and
deduction skills of Clever, and
the imagination of her brother.
Produced by French studio Hari,
the series was launched this year
in several countries.
"Kids on
the block" follows a band of
friends who have everything under
control in their neighbourhood
square until a new family moves
in. Together they will have to
find a new balance. This live
action increased the channel slot
average by 38% compared to
Ketnet's average.
Also
illustrating this trend is "Kiya
and the Kimoja Heroes," an
animated adventure series. The
series explores the life of Kiya,
a young African girl passionate
about dancing and martial arts
who also develops superhuman
abilities. Coproduced between
Triggerfish, Walt Disney EMEA and
Frog Box, the series premiered on
Disney Junior and Disney+ in
March 2023. In South Africa the
series started in September and
ranks first during its first two
weeks of broadcast.
The third
trend is about offering tweens
more sophisticated scripted
series. One of the shows
representing this trend is
"Husky." This Norwegian thriller
series unfolds on the Husky
Adventure farm in Karasjok.
Twelve-year-old Elle and her
mother Line 's life is turned
upside down when a group of
brutal dog smugglers steal almost
all the dogs. The first two
episodes premiered at TIFF Junior
in Norway in September this
year.
Another
example of this trend is
"DreaMars," an eight-part series
taking place in 2045 where eight
teenagers fly to Mars to prepare
for settlement on the Red Planet.
The series follow two timelines:
the preparation of the mission on
Earth, and from the emergency
landing in the wrong and
dangerous area of Mars. A
co-production between Israel and
Germany, the show aired on
Israeli network HOT's kids
channel Zoom in May and will
broadcast on KiKA in Germany.

Award-winning actress Kyra
Sedgwick reads Velma Gratch and
the Way Cool Butterfly for
back-to-school at the SAG-AFTRA
Foundation's Storyline
Online®
LOS
ANGELES (September 2023) --
Award-winning actress and
director Kyra Sedgwick is helping
to kick off the new school year
by reading Alan Madison's
brilliant children's story Velma
Gratch and the Way Cool Butterfly
for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's
free children's literacy program
Storyline Online®. In this
new read-aloud, Sedgwick inspires
young ones to embrace their
individuality while learning some
scientific facts about
metamorphosis and migration along
the way!
Winner of
the School Library Journal's Best
Book of the Year, Velma Gratch
and the Way Cool Butterfly is all
about finding your passion and
embracing your heart's desire,
even if it looks different than
what is expected of you. That's
true for Velma, who is the
youngest Gratch and entering the
first grade. Velma is constantly
reminded of her two older sisters
who were practically perfect
first graders. People can barely
remember Velma's name, but all
that changes on a class trip to
the magnificent Butterfly
Conservatory (where neither of
her sisters have ever been) when
a monarch roosts on Velma's
finger, and becomes her new,
winged friend. It's a
transformative tale of a timid
first grader who gains confidence
and self-esteem when she
discovers her passion for nature
and science.
Published
in 2010 by Penguin Random House,
the story is brought to life with
illustrations by Kevin Hawkes.
And with back-to-school underway,
SAG-AFTRA Foundation President
Courtney B. Vance is excited to
welcome Velma Gratch and the Way
Cool Butterfly to the Storyline
Online library this
September.
"We are
thrilled to have Kyra Sedgwick
join the Storyline Online family.
She is the perfect reader for
Velma Gratch and the Way Cool
Butterfly as Kyra, much like our
heroine Velma, marches to the
beat of her own drum!" says
Vance. "Velma Gratch and the Way
Cool Butterfly is so vibrant in
both its message and
illustrations, while also
teaching a very important lesson
about finding one's passion and
learning to celebrate and embrace
the differences within one's own
family, and most importantly,
within yourself. We can't wait to
let this story fly!"
With
hundreds of millions of views
worldwide, Storyline Online has
been a trusted educational brand
and resource for teachers,
librarians and parents since
2001. As with all Storyline
Online read-alouds, Velma Gratch
and the Way Cool Butterfly is
accompanied by a complementary
supplemental activity guide for
teachers that aligns with Common
Core Standards to strengthen
verbal, written and comprehension
skills. Velma Gratch and the Way
Cool Butterfly includes themes of
individuality, science, and
sibling rivalry, and is aimed at
students in 2nd and 3rd
grades.
Kyra
Sedgwick joins the impressive
cast of Storyline Online readers
including Angela Bassett, Kristen
Bell, Connie Britton, Keith
Carradine, Terry Crews, Viola
Davis, Rosario Dawson, Cynthia
Erivo, Sutton Foster, Jennifer
Garner, Allison Janney, John

Intel Searches for Science
Talent
By
Gary Sunkin
The International Society
for Science & the Public -
Intel ISEF is taking place at
the Los Angeles Convention
Center, May 11-16,
2014.
The Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair
(Intel ISEF), the world's largest
international pre-college science
competition, provides an annual
forum for approximately 1,700
high school students from more
than 70 countries, regions, and
territories to showcase their
independent research as they
compete for more than $5 million
annually. The Intel ISEF is the
premier global science
competition for students in
grades 9&endash;12.
The
top winners of The Future:
Powered by Fiction competition
were announced May 13th, via a
Google Hangout live from the
Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair. The top 10
winners each received $1,000 and
will have their science fiction
submissions published in an
upcoming Tomorrow Project
anthology. Approximately 30
additional entrants will be
featured in anthologies published
throughout the year.
The
prizes include the $75,000 Gordon
E. Moore award, named for the
Intel cofounder. Two additional
project will receive the
Intel Foundation Young Scientist
Awards of $50,000 each.
First
place (the $75,000 Gordon E.
Moore award) was awarded to
Nathan Han, 15, of Boston for
developing a machine learning
software tool to study mutations
of a gene linked to breast
cancer. Using data from publicly
available databases, Han examined
detailed characteristics of
multiple mutations of the BRCA1
tumor suppressor gene in order to
"teach" his software to
differentiate between mutations
that cause disease and those that
do not. His tool exhibits an 81
percent accuracy rate and could
be used to more accurately
identify cancer threats from
BRCA1 gene mutations.
Lennart Kleinwort, 15, of
Germany and Shannon Lee, 17, of
Singapore both won Young
Scientist Awards of
$50,000.
Lennart Kleinwort, 15, of
Germany and Shan
Lennart Kleinwort
developed a new mathematical tool
for smartphones and tablets that
brings capabilities to hand-held
devices that previously required
more sophisticated and expensive
computing tools. His app allows
users to hand draw curves, lines
and geometric figures on the
touch screen and watch the system
render them into shapes and
equations that can then be
manipulated at will. many and
Shannon Lee, 17, of Singapore
both won Young Scientist Awards
of $50,000.
Lennart Kleinwort, 15, of
Germany and Shan
Shannon Xinjing Lee
developed a novel electrocatalyst
that may be used for batteries of
the future. Researchers have been
looking for ways to make
rechargeable zinc-air batteries
practical, as they would be
safer, lighter in weight, and
have six times the energy density
of lithium ion batteries, making
them ideal for hybrid vehicles.
Lee found that her activated
carbon catalyst, which she made
entirely from carbonized Chinese
eggplant, greatly out-performed a
more sophisticated commercial
catalyst in stability and
longevity tests and will be
environmentally friendly and
inexpensive to produce.
"The world needs more
scientists, makers and
entrepreneurs to create jobs,
drive economic growth and solve
pressing global challenges," said
Wendy Hawkins, executive director
of the Intel Foundation. "Intel
believes that young people are
the key to innovation, and we
hope that these winners inspire
more students to get involved in
science, technology, engineering
and math, the foundation for
creativity."
This year's Intel
International Science and
Engineering Fair featured more
than 1,700 young scientists
selected from 435 affiliate fairs
in more than 70 countries,
regions and territories. In
addition to the top winners, more
than 500 finalists received
awards and prizes for their
innovative research, including 17
"Best of Category" winners, who
each received a US$5,000 prize.
The Intel Foundation also awarded
a US$1,000 grant to each winner's
school and to the affiliated fair
they represent. Additionally, the
Intel Foundation presented a
select number of students with
experiential awards, including
the new 11-day trip to China to
attend the country's largest
national science competition,
speak with researchers at Intel's
lab in Shanghai, and visit the
Panda Research Base in
Chengdu.
Intel ISEF 2015 will be held in
Pittsburgh and Intel ISEF 2016
will be held in Phoenix.

Like authors of the Bell &

own the nbswitel.com intellectual
property rights -- "FOREVER
MINUS A
DAY."
The five chapters of WiTEL
facts, and true-life adventures
of one of the most unsung
inventors in history, whose
revolutionary innovations have
effected every human being on the
planet over the last three
generations! Based on the true
story of inventor and part-time
melon farmer Nathan B.
Stubblefield's (and subsequently
his grandson Troy Cory's) battle
with the government and U.S.
telephone industry.
"Firewire" tells the tale
of two very different men from
two very different eras who share
not only the same blood, but the
same fight - whose battle to
receive recognition for the
invention of the wireless
telephone would come at a heavy
price. But the determined
small-town inventor and the
impassioned big-city entertainer
both refused to be silenced, and
they took on the rural
backstabbers and the corporate
titans alike in a battle that
nobody thought either could
win.
The Stubblefields started
out as a typical 1880's Kentucky
family, trying to live their
version of the American Dream,
but ended up as anything but!
When Nathan invents a unique
device that he prophesied would
eventually be used by nearly
everyone in the world &endash; he
was not far from wrong. Decades
later, when his grandson learns
that it was his relative who
indeed invented the wireless
phone, Cory thinks he's struck
gold. But his aspirations are
dashed after the telephone
monopolies and political pirates
who initially seized
Stubblefield's creation as their
own are just as determined to
shut out his descendant decades
later, as well.
Ignored,
threatened and then buried in
years of struggle, Cory is
haunted by what was done to his
family. He becomes a man obsessed
with justice and the conviction
that his grandfather's life work
-- or for that matter, anyone's
work -- be acknowledged by those
who stood to benefit. And while
paying the toll for refusing to
compromise his dignity, this
everyday David will try the
unthinkable: to strategically
bring Goliath to his knees in a
cooperation with truth and
justice for all. --Donna

You don't get to bust through the
airwaves without catching a
little static
Across the landscape of
the American Industrial
Revolution, within the field of
urban electrification and
communication, the legacy of
prominent inventors such as
George Westinghouse, Thomas
Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell
stand proud. Their achievements
celebrated, their status
recognized. But they do not stand
alone. Concealed by the shadows
of history, and even more by the
deviousness of corrupt men in
power, is the figure of Nathan B.
Stubblefield, a contemporary of
those great men and one of that
era's most innovative and
prolific inventors..
At the time of his death
in 1928, Stubblefield had been
granted dozens of patents, mostly
relating to electrical and
wireless technologies. His
inventions completely
revolutionized the world of
communications that we know
today, yet not many people even
know his name. With over 5.6
billion wireless phones in use
today - there's no denying,
wireless technology has
irreversibly changed the
world..
This story will open your
eyes and challenge what you think
you know about not only your cell
phone, but the challenges and the
victories that brought these
innovations to us in the first
place. More importantly, it gives
us insight into the human tragedy
and triumph that was and still is
a part of the reality of our most
innovative technological pioneers
today in America. --Donna

Pepperdine University Celebrates
its 75th
Anniversary
On
September 21, 1937, the new
campus of George Pepperdine
College hosted 2,000 attendees
gathered to witness the opening
of the school. Speakers that day
included California governor
Frank Merriam, Los Angeles mayor
Frank L. Shaw, the college's
first president Batsell Baxter,
and founder George Pepperdine.
Among the crowd were the
college's first students, 167
young men and women from 22
states and two foreign countries.
Mr. Pepperdine clearly stated his
intentions for the school on that
day: "Our college is dedicated to
a twofold objective: First,
academic training in the liberal
arts . . . Secondly, we are
especially dedicated to a greater
goal&emdash;that of building in
the student a Christ-like life, a
love for the church, and a
passion for the souls of
mankind."
Later
as the college proceeded to
expand the campus by acquiring
neighboring or adjacent
properties to build out, but this
process proved to be problematic
and cost prohibitive, and the
idea of operating in multiple
campuses was explored and a
committee was formed to
investigate possible locations in
Southern California. In October
1968, the college received a
remarkable donation of 138 acres
of undeveloped ranch land in
Malibu, given by Merritt H.
Adamson, Sylvia Rindge Adamson
Neville, and Rhoda-May Adamson
Dallas, for the construction of a
new campus. Pepperdine announced
its expansion plans at its
celebrated "Birth of a College"
dinner event on February 9, 1970,
headlined by then Governor Ronald
Reagan, and subsequently
dedicated the Malibu property on
May 23. Then Pepperdine vice
president William S. Banowsky
(later to succeed President Young
in 1971) was installed as
chancellor of the infant Malibu
Campus.
Founder
George Pepperdine
George
Pepperdine (1886 -
1962)
was
the founder and president of
the Western Auto Supply Company
which the newlywed alumnus of
Parsons Business College in
Kansas, at the age of 23, started
with an initial investment of
five dollars in 1909. In the
following decades Mr. Pepperdine
rode the wave to phenomenal
business success providing
quality automotive products and
services via a network of
hundreds of retail stores to an
American nation just beginning
its love affair with the
automobile. He married Lena Rose
Baker and in 1916 moved the
family and business to Los
Angeles for health reasons. Lena
died in 1930 and Mr. Pepperdine
remarried in 1934 to Helen Louise
Davis.
It is nothing unusual that the
economic expansion of the early
20th century made many American
entrepreneurs wealthy, but when
wealth and success came to George
Pepperdine, it came to man of
deep Christian faith and a
lifelong member of Churches of
Christ. He had always exercised a
spirit of generosity and charity,
and was a man who understood
himself as a steward and
caretaker of the assets that God
had entrusted to him. That sense
of stewardship matured into a
call of destiny when Mr.
Pepperdine observed the alarming
rate at which Christian young men
and women lost interest in their
faith after going on to higher
education. He determined that he
would dedicate his fortune to
creating and endowing a college
that would provide the best
education possible, managed by
administrators and taught by
professors who would support
students in their Christian
belief.
On September 21, 1937
(commemorated annually as
Founder's Day) George Pepperdine
College was opened and dedicated,
a mere seven months after Mr.
Pepperdine had decided to go
ahead with construction in
February. In November of that
same year, Mr. Pepperdine
addressed the students and first
set out what continues to guide
Pepperdine University's
educational philosophy and policy
to this day.
"There are many good colleges
and universities which can give
you standard academic training,
but if our school does not give
you more than that, it really has
no reason to exist. The great
difference between this college
and other colleges is that we are
endeavoring to place adequate
emphasis and greater stress upon
religious teaching and Christian
character. We want to present to
you, in teaching and example, the
Christian way of life. We do not
compel you to accept it. You are
free to make your own choice, but
we want you to know what it
is."
Mr. Pepperdine remained
thoroughly involved with the
college for the rest of his life,
frequently being seen on campus
with Mrs. Pepperdine, attending
chapel, board meetings, school
functions, and sporting events.
He narrated his life story and
his purposes for the college in
his biography Faith is My Fortune
(1959). George Pepperdine died on
July 31, 1962, his life an
embodiment of Matthew 10:8 which
has become the University's
motto: Freely ye received, freely
give. History

"Checking
out the goods, products, and
services related attached to my
grandfather's
WiTEL®© inventions
at the 2008 annual CES show in
Las Vegas, has been my pet
project since 1992," says author,
performer, Troy Cory, and founder
of the Troy Cory Show.
The
Word EPONYMOUS.
When
quized as to why men names a
good, products or services after
themselves, Troy cxplains the
word, "eponymous." THE GREEK WORD
eponymos, from epi- "upon" +
onyma. "The word is used when a
personal name is giving to
personal services," -- (like
Charlie Rose Show, The Troy Cory
Show, and the initials NBS, the
acronyms for the elements and
effects of Nathan B.
Stubblefield's
WiTEL®©).
The
PowerMat and Row22 are eponymos.
They are just two items named
after existing products. I found
them most interesting, becausehe
PowerMat was a take off on
Stubblefields, "All Green Earth
Battery" (a non - fossil fuel
technology) patented in 1898.
The
only thing missing was the iron
rod RF aerial, that made the WiFi
induction unit part his
"Telephone-del-Green" system. The
®© metal coil and
mesh EMW conglomeration, not only
emitted RF signals to help power
his batteries, but its firewire
effect, (FiWi) caused the EMF to
modulated the amplitude of the
signal to send voice through
space, via his WiTEL WiFi WiMAX
187 network.

If you are
planning to attend this year's Digital
Hollywood conference, taking place May
4-7, 2009 in Santa Monica, CA, I
thought you might be interested in setting
up a meeting with Bob Quicksilver, Chief
Content Officer of TidalTV (a new online
video advertising network) at the
event.
As we
approach this year's Upfront, there is a
dynamic shift taking place &endash;
prominent marketers are re-evaluating (and
even cutting) their TV media spending at a
time when online video, a cost-effective
and highly-targeted advertising solution,
is taking off. CLICK
FOR MORE ImagesDH-MainPage09
In fact,
eMarketer recently reported video is the
fastest-growing Internet advertising
medium, estimating that ad spending on
online video will hit $850 million in
2009, up 45% from last year.

Jimmy
Wales, Founder of Wikipedia to speak at
Hollywood Digital. Major marketers are
increasingly looking to incorporate online
video in the marketing mix, and
Reckitt-Benckiser just signed a major deal
with Tidal TV. With a
zero-waste guarantee, TidalTV offers
advertisers a unique marketing advantage,
allowing them to pay only for ads that
reach target audiences and demographics.
The network will revitalize the
online video paradigm by combining the
advantages of TV and digital advertising
to deliver superior targeting,
interactivity, measurement and
transparency.
In addition,
you might be interested in attending the
panel discussion Bob will be participating
in on Wednesday, May 6, from 3:50 PM -
5:00 PM entitled "Television and
Broadband: Technology and Content that
Bridge the Digital Consumer Experience."

arrived -- and the panel will look at ways
to tap into this potential
