 1947, first-hand - in "The Hindu"
The memories of the first Independence Day may have faded, but the power of that magical moment must never be forgotten.
I am holding in my hands a remarkable document, a letter written on August 27, 1947, by a young American woman, Mildred Talbot, who had the rare privilege of being present at the independence ceremonies of both India and Pakistan.

 Operating Cameraman Online: First Hand-holdable 35MM Motion Picture Camera
In the first place the balloon basket chose its own direction in which to face depending upon which way the wind was blowing, making it difficult to keep the hand cranked camera which was attached firmly to a stand pointing constantly at the enemy ships.
At the other or operating end, the rotating shaft is fitted with a crank handle and the outer tube is attached to a bearing arranged as a handle to be gripped by the operator with one hand while he turns the crank handle with the other hand.
Not only was it the first electrically driven camera (other than Edison's original 'prototype'), but it was the first 35mm camera to have an internal electric motor until the coming of the Panavision Panaflex and the Arri 35BL cameras in the early 1970s, some sixty years later.

 Christian Living & Faith: First Hand Faith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
First Hand Faith, written by Dr. Bruce H. Wilkinson, the founder and president of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, outlines three levels of relationship with Jesus Christ and illustrates those levels using three chairs.
The First Chair is the godly chair, and those who sit in it remain close to God.
Throughout First Hand Faith, Wilkinson clearly states that if the faith is to be passed on to the next generation, that faith must, at some point, reach the level of the First Chair.

 First Hand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Our fathers and forefathers handed forward their experience, and the preceding generations' experience, of a face to face relationship with life.
The first and foremost is through the direct choice of the hierarchy of society.
It is this common arrangement in society that governs most of society--the markets made available to it for profit--the capitalistic view of society's communication with itself, vis-à-vis art handed down from the hierarchy--the subordination of the end (invention) to the means (chain of command).

 First Hand Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The defender reacted by throwing her hands across her face for protection in an act of self-preservation when the ball struck her arm.
Even if I had interpreted her hand movement to protect her face as deliberate and not an automatic reflex, it still was not a deliberate act to “ play the ball”, but merely a deliberate act to protect herself due to her closeness to the ball at the time of the kick.
Remember, the time of decision of whether a handling offense has occurred or not is at the time of contact, and anything that happens after that point in time can never to be a part of a “handling” decision.

 Robert Morrow's book First Hand Knowledge
The first is an historical review of the anti-Castro movement and the CIA's involvement in financing and supporting anti-Communist endeavors in Latin America, along with the requisite political context (which is often tainted by Morrow's own right-wing extremism).

When First Hand Knowledge was published, the CIA responded that "There is no record that Robert D. Morrow was ever a contract agent of the CIA." Morrow replied that CIA records would not reflect his employment since he had been paid at the time by the U.S. Army.
