The Bijou Theatre: 1909-1949
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the history of the Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, and to ascertain the importance it had on the community during the first four decades of its existence. The wealth of talent which played on its stage during these forty years of legitimate drama (much of it coming from touring stock companies) make the theatre a landmark within the city of Knoxville.
This study should help further the resolve of the general populace of Knoxville to preserve the Bijou as an important monument to Knoxville\u27s cultural heritage. The renovation of the old theatre not only will be historically significant, but it will utilize a theatre facility which was designed with acoustics and other features to make it one of the South\u27s finest theatres.
The author hopes that this chronological history of the theatre from its earliest days can help illustrate that the Bijou was much more than the pornographic movie house it was to become during the 1960\u27s and early 1970\u27s. Just as it was a thriving legitimate theatre, it can be once again
Evaluation of water resources in Kiowa and Bijou Creek basins, Colorado
No full textCER66HRD-RAL19.May, 1966.Prepared under contract with Colorado Water Conservation Board.Includes bibliographical references.This report describes the water resources of the Kiowa and Bijou Creek drainages in northeastern Colorado. These intermittent tributaries to the South Platte River drain some 2130 square miles lying within six counties. The area has a semi-arid climate with an average annual precipitation slightly over 15 inches, most of which falls during the summer months. Since the streams within the study area flow only during storm periods and since there is no water imported into the area, the principle source of water for irrigation is from ground water. It was estimated that the alluvial aquifer contained 2,373,000 acre-feet of water in 1965, and that it receives 55,800 acre-feet of water annually through natural recharge of precipitation. The Fox Hills sandstone formation was considered to be the only bedrock aquifer capable of supplying moderate quantities of water to wells within the study area. This formation contains an estimated 2,000,000 acre-feet of recoverable water within the area, and could be an important future water source. The first significant pumping in the area began in the 1930's, and the annual withdrawal has increased to a maximum of 130,000 acre-feet from about 700 wells for the year 1964. This development has caused ground water level declines as great as 45 feet in some areas. Based upon present management practices, it is anticipated that water levels will continue to decline in the study area, with resultant decreases in the amount of water pumped. Within fifty years, it is expected that the aquifer will be depleted to the point that only recharge water is available for pumping. By this time, however, technology will likely develop such methods as artificial recharge and weather modification to feasibly increase the useable water resources of the area

A representação dos papéis e da sexualidade feminina no teatro brasileiro durante o período da ditadura militar
No full textThe expansion of the methodological universe of History gave way to a wide diversity of studies in the field of gender research. In this context, the article aims to investigate the social representations portrayed in the dramaturgical production of Leilah Assunção between 1968 and 1970, a period in which changes were brought about in the structure of the Brazilian theater. Through the analysis of the dramaturgical discourse of the theatrical works ¿Use Polvo de Arroz Bijou¿ and ¿Hable Bajo, si no yo grito¿, the author makes evident the social tensions arising in the midst of the military dictatorship in Brazil, and the discussions on the role and sexuality of women in the private and public scope.La ampliación del universo metodológico de la Historia posibilitó estudios diversificados en el campo de la investigación sobre el género. En ese sentido, el artículo busca sondear las representaciones sociales presentes en la producción dramaturgia de Leilah Assunção entre 1968-1970, momento en que se dieron cambios en la fisonomía del teatro brasileño. A través del análisis del discurso dramatúrgico de las piezas teatrales Use Polvo de Arroz Bijou e Hable Bajo, si no yo grito, la autora evidencia las tensiones sociales emergentes en plena dictadura militar en Brasil y la discusión de los papeles y de la sexualidad femenina en el área pública y privado

Giant Geyser, the Largest in Yellowstone Nat. Park, Wyo.
No full textGIANT GEYSER, YELLOWSTONE NAT. PARK, WYO. Of all the monster gushers in the Upper Basin, the Giant, in eruption, is the greatest. Its cone, 10 ft. high, which would be quite symmetrical but for the fact that one side of it is broken off, stands about 500 ft. S. E. of the Grotto not far from the W. bank of the Firehole River. In activity the Giant for an hour or more will eject a column of boiling water the diameter of its 4-foot vent to a height which at the maximum attains 250 feet, or 50 ft. more than is credited to any other geyser in the Park. Unfortunately this paragon of geysers appears to be displaying its pwers with lessening frequency. Whereas earlier records show that it used to blow off at intervals of between 6 and 14 days, Park Rangers found that during 1926-7, its average intervals had increased to 91 days. In view of the infrequent activity of some of the Yellowstone geysers and the great irregularity of others, we are indeed fortunate in being able in this tour to see so many of the most important ones in eruption and hence at their very best. Immediately N. of the Giant, and only a few yards from it, are two boiling caldrons or small geysers in constant eruption, called the bijou and the Mastiff. Despite the proximity of their big neighbor, they display no connection with the latter, remaining quiet during eruptions of the Giant. On the other hand there are three springs on the opposite side of the Firehole River which quite as obviously are related to the Giant, their normally quiet waters lowering rapidly when the great geyser becomes active.
