  Tom Waits - The Early Years Volume One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This is an album of early demos recorded by a 21-year-old Tom Waits in 1971, two years before the release of his first album, Closing Time, and issued on the record label owned by his ex-manager.
The roots of his music are revealed within the 13 tracks of The Early Years, a collection of previously unreleased 1971 demo tapes.
This, the first of two volumes of previously unissued Tom Waits tracks, is the latest fruit of the deal with Herb Cohen and Frank Zappa's Bizarre/Straight labels which saw critical success with the Tim Buckley live CD Dream Letter (and promises further archive stuff from both Buckley and Little Feat founder Lowell George).

 The Early Years of the Strowger System by R.B. Hill
Some of the early attempts to devise automatic telephone systems were described briefly in a previous article*, and it was stated that, while some of the early inventions embodied ideas that were later developed into important features of the modern automatic art, none of the systems themselves went into commercial use.
Early in 1892, A. Keith, who had previously been employed by the Brush Electric Company, of Baltimore, entered the service of the Strowger company and was for many years thereafter one of its leading technicians and inventors.
Early in 1908, the first Strowger straight two-wire system, in which the ground was eliminated, was installed at Pontiac, Ill. This was accomplished by the use of a sluggish, or slow-release, relay which, when energized by a current, held its contacts closed for a short period after the circuit through its winding had been broken.

 Joe Jackson -Volume 4 Reviews
Volume 4 is Jackson’s first rock'n'roll record since Laughter and Lust in 1991, but he hasn’t lost his ability to write great hooks.
Jackson says Volume 4, which he produced, was recorded in ten days, "… about the same time as Look Sharp… I overdubbed some of the piano parts, but most of the songs are second or third takes." The result is a disc that has an immediate, live feel.
Volume 4 is not as sonically impressive as most of Jackson’s other work, but it has an appealing straightforwardness.

 Awramik: Astrobiology and the Origins of Life 3 of 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The rock may be about two or three billion years old, that's when the rock formed, the sedimentary rock, but there are little minerals in it that are about 4.1 to 4.2 billion years in age.
Recently, in rocks 3.8 billion years, isotopes of carbon have been analyzed to suggest that carbon fixation, maybe even photosynthesis was around by 3.8 billion years ago.
You may have vaporized all the water that was on the early earth and therefore sterilized the early earth.

 §2. Carlyle’s early years. I. Carlyle. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part One. The Cambridge History of English ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Born in the little Dumfriesshire village of Ecclefechan on 4 December, 1795, when the lurid light of the French revolution still lit up the European sky, Thomas Carlyle came of a typical lowland Scottish peasant stock, and, to the last, he remained himself a peasant, bound by a thousand clannish bonds to his provincial home.
The narrow ties of blood and family always meant more to him than that citizenship of the world which is demanded of a man of genius; and, in spite of his forty years’ life in the metropolis, he never succeeded in shaking off the unpliant instincts of the south of Scotland peasant.
From Annan, Carlyle, now in his twenty-first year, passed, with the help of a recommendation from his Edinburgh professor, to Kirkcaldy, whither Irving had preceded him—still as mathematical master, still without any kind of clearness as to what kind of work he was ultimately to do in the world.

 John Lennon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She had actually learned the instrument from John's father when they were dating, and when John began to play guitar, he started out playing the same four-string chords, leaving the bass strings untuned.
Years later, Lennon wrote the songs "Julia", "Mother" and "My Mummy's Dead" regarding his mother, as well as naming his firstborn son, Julian, after her.
It is generally acknowledged that Lennon slapped his first wife, Cynthia, at least once in the early years of their relationship, as confirmed in her book, "John".

 Magic Years Volume One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
From their formation in 1971 at London's Imperial College to the sensational presentation of their "Best Single Of The Last 25 years" award for "Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen's early days are depicted with unseen archive footage, gripping video montages and the humorous reminiscences of their peers, predecessors and now famous fans.
Early fl and white Queen interviews are inter cut with footage of their first Rainbow concert, first TV air play, first Top Of The Pops appearance ('Killer Queen') and video taping of their early hits 'Keep Yourself Alive' and 'Liar' which have never been seen before.
Volume one closes with a candid portrait of Queen at work in the studio, which, condensed from the only session filming ever permitted during the band's studio career, unflinchingly depicts the techniques and tensions involved in the recording of one of their biggest hits.

 Behaviorism
If early behaviorism could not be simply defined, it could nonetheless be broadly characterized in terms of a constellation of features including intellectual commitments concerning the nature of psychology as science and the fundamental nature of behavior and a set of theoretical and research emphases that followed directly from such commitments.
For early behaviorism, animal and human behavior exist in an "unbroken continuity,"[42] Animals and humans share both mechanisms and fundamental forms of overt adjustment to the environment.
At the heart of early behaviorism lay a commitment to the notion that mentalistic categories and concepts (e.g., perception, attention, meaning, symbol, memory, purpose, abstraction, generalization, thought) must either be redefined in terms of behavioral mechanisms or discarded altogether.

 Garcia Marquez - Works: Fiction
Living among them is the Colonel, a honorable man who takes it on himself to fulfill a promise he made years ago: to bury the Doctor, a salacious and parsimonious foreigner who had the distinction of being the most hated man in Macondo.
His early works reflect the well-documented fascination with Faulkner (see “The Third Resignation,” “The Other Side of Death,” “Eva Is Inside Her Cat”) – these stories show Gabo transfixed by the mysteries of death, family, and poverty, themes that would haunt him throughout his life.
He has the bad grace, however, to make his declaration at the funeral of her husband, one of the most illustrious men of his time, a patron of the arts, distinguished professor of medicine, and leader in the fight against the cholera epidemics that once ravaged the country.

 audiobook reviews, author interviews and more....   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Regardless of what fans and pop culture scholars may want out of "Chronicles: Volume One," it is important to remember that this is Dylan's reflection on his own significant moments, rather than what the public may deem important in his career.
Instead, there are long passages dedicated to the creation of his early 1980s album "Oh Mercy." Hopefully, subsequent volumes of his history will look more at the songwriting of the early years -- the songs that put him on the map.
The long passages on his formative years are the most riveting, with a rundown of wide-ranging influences from Robert Johnson to Ricky Nelson.

 The Unknown Patton Chapter One (Patton's Early Years)
One such volume that Patton especially liked, which was written by one of his favorites, General J.F.C. Fuller, not only had profuse marginal notes; Patton later formalized some notes on the book which turned out to be seven typewritten, single spaced pages.
The books should be read aloud to the child until his early teens, because his ability to absorb by ear is far greater than his ability to read, and the rhythm and beauty of sound adds a great deal to the pleasure.
Patton took five years to graduate from West Point due to the fact that he failed a French examination by a fraction of a point.

 Skeptical Review (Volume One, Number One)
The genealogical data in Exodus 6:16-20 clearly indicate the belief in an Egyptian sojourn substantially shorter than 430 years, so that puts this Bible passage in unequivocal conflict with Exodus 12:40, Genesis 15:13, and Acts 7:6, all of which teach that the sojourn lasted at least 400 years.
Traditionally, purveyors of the Bible inerrancy doctrine have profited from the ignorance, superstition, and gullibility that characterize societies in which mystical religions thrive, but recent discoveries and developments in biblical archaeology and criticism, coming in an age of increased scientific enlightenment, have cut deep inroads into territory once firmly held by the forces of inerrancy.
Early Christian apologists, for example, claimed that not just the original Bible autographs were inspired of God but also all copies and translations that scribes and linguists had transmitted to later generations.

 Combined Precedents of the SCA Volume I (The Early Years) 2nd Edition
Mistress Karina's intention was to use this body of material, together with the comments of her predecessors in the Laurel office, as the basis for a codification of the rules of SCA heraldry.
Volume one of the Laurel Precedents was compiled in haste.
Volume one of Precedents of the SCA College of Arms deals with the tenures of Master Harold Breakstone, the first Laurel King of Arms, who held office from the early years of the Society until November 1972, and Master Ioseph of Locksley, his successor, who resigned in August 1975.

 IntroMill2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The years the book covers are those of the cold war and its aftermath and, viewed from where we are, the time too of the second great awakening of poetry in the century now coming to an end.
The story told is one that we have lived in and have found never to have been truly told, neither in its triumphs nor its failures (with an affection for the failures sometimes as great as for the triumphs).
Over the last few years the two editors have had a chance to go over the terrain of the immediate postwar decades (1945 to 1960, the years of the New American Poetry per se) and to carry that exploration into the still less charted places that define the boundaries of the present gathering.

 Early Homo erectus Tools in China
Digging for two years now, excavation leader Jin Changzhu of Beijing's Institute for Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology and Han Ligang and Zheng Longting of Hefei, Anhui Province, have found some 3,000 bones of animals that had fallen into the fissure.
Early hominins apparently descended into the fissure to butcher the animals that fell in.
Early humans repeatedly passed between Africa and Asia, and their movements correspond to those of other large mammals, including carnivores--early Homo and the dagger-toothed cat Megantereon, the remains of which have been found at Renzidong, could have been such traveling companions.

 CONFU Conclusion of First Phase of CONFU, Conclusions 1
These issues were discussed at early CONFU plenary sessions and separately at a College Art Association meeting in April 1995, in New York, convened by Barbara Hoffman, counsel to the College Art Association.
It was suggested that the implementation of the guidelines be observed over the course of the next year, and it was further agreed that a report on the implementation of the guidelines would be made at a meeting on May 18, 1998.
The focus of the working group's attention was to discuss the issues involved in the application of fair use to the creation of electronic reserve systems that allow storage, access, display and downloading of electronic versions of materials that support the instructional requirements of a specific course within a nonprofit educational institution.

Though initially relatively crude (like every artist I know, she cringes at seeing her "early" work now) the pacing and compositions soon became relatively sophisticated.
The innocence of youth is seldom captured by the innocent.
Finally, while "publishing" the work of such a young artist is itself highly unusual, it is done in part to fulfill a demand, first among family and friends, and increasingly by word-of-mouth.

 GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
After a three year struggle with Stalinist hard-liners in the government from 1953 to '56, a so-called "liberal" faction emerged victorious, positioning Khrushchev for emergence as the new leader of the Soviet Union.
Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Nekrasov idealized peasants in their early- and mid-nineteenth century writing, and Chekhov and Bunim, at the end of the century, sought to depict harshly accurate examples of peasant life.
After a hiatus of fifty years, Solzhenitsyn took that same burden upon his shoulders, providing a moral dimension in his depictions of the abuses of the Stalinist system.

 Amazon.com: Landmarks of Early Film, Vol. 1: DVD: Alice Guy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A magnificent collection for anyone interested in the earliest days of film history, this compilation of films spans the years from 1886 to 1913, from the first experiments in "serial photography" to the emergence of narrative shorts and the dawn of the feature-length film.
The Lumiere brothers' films (1895-97) here include "Exiting the Factory," "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat," and an early comedic scene called "The Sprinkler Sprinkled." Also on this single disc is Georges Melies's "A Trip to the Moon" (1902), which with its early special effects, celebrates the magic possibilities of the new medium.
That first twenty or so years was a wild ride, though, with a lot of amazing innovations happening as to how to use the new medium, and this collection captures that wonderfully.

 The History of the Corporation, Volume One by Bruce Brown (Introduction)
Thirty years later, in 2003, I published the first comprehensive history of the rise of the modern corporation, from the oldest surviving corporation -- the Benedictine Order of the Catholic Church, founded circa 529 A.D. -- through the Dark Ages, when corporations first ruled human beings.
During the early 20th century, enterprises bearing imprimaturs like Corp., Ltd., AG and S.A. gained control of the vast physical wealth in what used to be called the Free World.
Here is the Table of Contents for the entire book, which covers 1,000 years from the birth of the first modern corporation through the the First Dominion of the corporation.

 The Pyramid Texts Index
The Pyramid Texts were funerary inscriptions that were written on the walls of the early Ancient Egyptian pyramids at Sakkara.
These date back to the fifth and sixth dynasties, approximately the years 2350-2175 B.C.E. However, because of extensive internal evidence, it is believed that they were composed much earlier, circa 3000 B.C.E. The Pyramid Texts are, therefore, essentially the oldest sacred texts known.
This etext is the complete text of volume one of this set, and includes the complete Mercer translation of the Pyramid Texts.
