After 1902 the speed was standardized at 160rpm. In 1908 Edison cylinders changed from 100 grooves per inch to 200 grooves per inch. From 1908-1911 Edison Amberols were made, these are a wax cylinder record. And these play with only sapphire stili, on the Edison Reproducers model H,L,N, N56, Model M, K,O. In 1912 Edison invented the Blue Amberol, it is a 4 minute record but made of celluloid. These will play on all of the above reproducers plus the Diamond A,B,C,D on the Edison Amberola cylinder phonographs. Edison Blue Amberols were made from 1912-1929. Wax Amberols will not play wth the Diamond A,B,C,D. ; Musica
Why do public school districts hire the Edison Project? A study of privatization, decision making, and reform
No full textSince the publication of A Nation at Risk over 20 years ago, school districts across the country have been implementing reform initiatives aimed at improving student achievement, with minimal results. The NCLB Act of 2001 has increased the pressure on school districts and this legislation has significant implications for the future of public schools. Proponents of school reform advocate a restructuring of the current educational system and more of an opportunity for school choice, including the privatization of public schools through Educational Management Organizations (EMOs). This study examines the reasons, goals, and expectations that lead public school districts to hire the Edison Schools Project. A multi-site case study approach was utilized and elite interviews were conducted to determine common trends and recurring themes in the decision making of the 4 districts involved in the research. Interviews with the critical actors provide information on the conditions leading to the choice of Edison as the EMO, the process used to inform and involve constituencies, the reaction of the stakeholders, specifics of the contracts, and the evaluation process. Several recurring themes emerged during this research. The many similarities between the 3 small districts and large urban district include evidence that the superintendent is key in the decision making process to contract with Edison, but the principal assumes the most significant role in implementing the Edison/school partnership. All the districts utilize a thin management approach and retain control over staffing. The districts are all focused on student achievement and are drawn to Edison\u27s research based approaches to instruction and assessment. All of the districts emphasized the importance of the partnership and the positive relationship with the Edison staff. Contracting out for instructional services is a fairly new concept and there are still no conclusive studies that Edison produces an increased rate of student achievement that surpasses traditional public schools. However, the findings of this research indicate that there is a significant role for EMOs, such as Edison, as school districts continue to struggle with their efforts to improve student performance through the implementation of research based curricula, assessment systems, and ongoing professional development
Interview: Anne-Marie Fortier
No full textThis paper is an edited version of an email interview conducted by Debra Ferreday and Adi Kuntsman with Anne-Marie Fortier, the author of Multicultural Horizons: Diversity and the Limits of the Civil Nation (Routledge, 2008). Fortier’s work has been informative in the development of some of the arguments explored in this special issue; in their conversation Ferreday and Kuntsman asked her to comment on the ideas of haunting, racial imaginaries, nostalgia, national anxieties, political feelings and hopes for the future
Beholder halfway #25: beyond unwanted sound with Marie Thompson
No full textOn this month's episode I discuss the recent book Beyond Unwanted Sound: Noise, Affect and Aesthetic Moralism with its author, Marie Thompson. We discuss different conceptions of 'noise', as anti-music or the cacophony of industrial society, competing theories of noise and Marie's powerful argument that noise is neither inherently bothersome nor transgressive. We end by discussing some of the musicians and sound artists that Marie argues transcend the dominant morality by which noise is related to.</p

BIOFUELS, AGRICULTURE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
No full textIn the context of ever-increasing petroleum prices combined with concerns about climate change, timing of adoption and rate of diffusion of land-based fuels and backstop technologies for transportation use are examined in this paper. A global model of land allocation joined with a Hotelling model has been developed. Using this framework, effects of climate and energy policies on world agricultural and energy markets have been explored. Further, their regional impacts are also analyzed. Whereas mandatory blending bio-fuels have substantial effects on world food prices and do not succeed in curbing down carbon emissions fluxes, carbon targets are expected to speed up date of adoption of backstop technologies. Then, sensitivity scenarios with regards to technological parameters reveal that higher is the rate of technological change, earlier backstop technologies are adopted and lower is the stock of carbon accumulated into the atmosphere. Finally, interplay between land-based fuels and deforestation has been studied. Results show that land-based fuels production speeds up world deforestation and causes substantial carbon emissions due to conversion of forests into agricultural lands.Ricardian rents, land use, biofuels, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Does corruption relieve foreign investors of the burden of taxes and capital controls?
No full textIn a sample of fourteen source countries making bilateral investments in forty five countries, the author finds that taxes, capital controls, and corruption, all have large, statistically significant negative effects on foreign investment. Moreover, there is no robust support in the data for the"efficient grease"hypothesis - that corruption helps attract foreign investment by reducing firms'tax burden and the irritant of capital controls.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Capital Markets and Capital Flows,Decentralization,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Economic Theory&Research,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Governance Indicators,National Governance,Capital Flows
