Television History Star Trek The Next Generation First Season Production Playback Schedule Signed by Robert H. Justman 1987 to 1988

1987Best.-Nr. 95631987. Justman Robert H. Star Trek: The Next Generation First Season Playback Schedule undated documents the production and playback coordination behind the inaugural season of the television series and provides evidence of the practical processes used to organize material for a major syndicated television production. Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted the week of September 28 1987 launching a seven-season series that ultimately ran through 1994. Justman was among the veterans of the original Star Trek brought into development of the new program and served as supervising producer during its first season; he participated in the series' early creative development and according to the Television Academy worked across matters ranging from set design to script development. The schedule therefore survives from the formative production environment in which Gene Roddenberry and members of the earlier Star Trek team were establishing the personnel procedures and creative framework of the revived franchise. Justman Robert H. Star Trek: The Next Generation First Season Playback Schedule. Undated first season 1987-1988. Signed "Bob Justman." Three pages. Internal playback schedule organizing first-season material offering a production-level record of how programming associated with the series was coordinated rather than a document created for public promotion or fandom. Its association with Justman is particularly relevant: he had worked as associate producer and later co-producer on the original Star Trek before returning two decades later as supervising producer of The Next Generation. The document thus connects two distinct periods of Star Trek production history through a producer directly involved in both and provides primary-source evidence for studying television production practices program coordination and the behind-the-scenes organization of the franchise's 1987 revival. The schedule belongs to the first season in which The Next Generation established a new cast Enterprise and production identity while deliberately drawing on personnel with experience on the original series. Contemporary accounts identify Justman as one of the figures involved in developing the project before production began and his first-season role placed him within the small group responsible for translating the proposed revival into an operating television series. Three pages complete as described signed "Bob Justman"; no date appears on the document. Minor handling wear if any; otherwise excellent corresponding to near fine condition. An unusually direct production document from the inaugural season of Star Trek: The Next Generation strengthened by the signature of a producer whose work connected the original 1960s series with its 1980s successor. unknown

Only edition. Mary Saurin Sister Mary Scholastica Joseph brought a case against her superior and another nun for assault and conspiracy to drive her from her convent and have her expelled from the order. Known as "the great convent trial" it was a sensational case that fueled contemporary prejudices against Catholics monastic orders and women. These themes are apparent in the Solicitor-General's opening remarks. This case shows "what women were capable of when they shut themselves up from their kind and did violence to the instincts of their nature and the great though mean and petty cruelty they could wreak upon a sister in the name of a religion of love" 2. The jury found in favor of the defendants on the counts of assault and for the plaintiff on the counts of libel and conspiracy to have her expelled from the convent.

First appearence of this milestone paper announcing the very first determination of the movement and velocity of a star. Sirius. This discovery of the motion in the line of sight the radial velocity is of exceeding importence in astronomy for it can be determined by shifts in the position of the spectral lines without regard tothe distance of the star.In this paper Huggins applied to spectroscopic astronomy the principle enunciated by Doppler in 1841 that the positions of spectrum lines change as the object moves to or from the spectator. After consultingin 1867 with James Clerk Maxwell but wholly independent of him Huggins presented to the Ropyal Society early in 1868 this paper with the observation on the spectrum of Sirius from which a motion from the earth could be deduced of ab. 25 miles pr. second."William Huggins 1824-1910 English astronomer a pioneer in spectroscopy and photography. He examined spectroscopically the chemical constitution of stars and comets and the gaseous nature of planetary and diffuse nebulae; he applied the Doppler Principle to the measurement of the radial velocities of stars and published an atlas of representative stellar spectra" Ripley: Source Book in Astronomy. unknown

The second titlepage with a fes brownspots otherwise clean and fine. First appearance of a milestone paper in astronomy giving the solution of the great problem of distances in the universe which had baffled astronomers ever since the time of Copernicus announcing the FIRST SUCCESSFUL DISPLACEMENT OR PARALLAX OF A FIXED STAR and hence deducing the FIRST RELIABLE DISTANCE OF THE EARTH TO A FIXED STAR. The parallax observed corresponded to ab. 600.000 times that of the earth from the sun. On these grounds Bessel calculated the distance to about 11 light years and this was confirmed by fresh investigations by Bessel in 1839-40 the second paper offered. In 1842-43 it was also confirmed by C.A.F. Peters at Pulkowa. It is the first published instance of the fathom-line thrown into celestial space.Bessel communicated his observations in Comptes Rendus in a letter to Humboldt the offered paper dated Nov. 5 1838 in "Monthly Notices" in letter to J. Herschel and in "Astronomische Nachrichten" Vol. 16 No 365-66 pp. 65-96 1838 where a more detail account was published.Ther paper "Bestimmung der Entfernung des 61sten Stern des Schwans" in "Astronomische Nachrichten" is dated at the end: Altona 1838 Dec. 13.Bessel's investigation was hailed by John Herschel when Bessel was awarded the R.A.S. gold medal "The greatest and most glorious triumph which practical astronomy has ever witnessed". "For determining the parallax of 61 Cygni Bessel selected two comparison stars of magnitude 9-10 at distances of roughly eight and twelve minutes of arc. 61 Cygni is a physical double star whose components differ in brightness by less than one magnitude. The distance of sixteen seconds of arc between the components favored the accuracy of the determination of the parallax because pointing could be carried out with two star images. After observing for eighteen months by the fall of 1838 Bessel had enough measurements for the determination of a reliable parallax. He found that p = 0.314 with a mean error of ±:0.020. This work was published in the Astronomische Nachrichten 1838 the first time the distance of a star became known. Bessel’s value for the parallax shows excellent agreement with the results obtained by extensive modern photographical parallax determinations."

South working with John Herschel during the years 1821–1823. reobserved the double stars charted originally by William Herschel mainly for the purpose of detecting position changes. Their observations helped verify the newly recognized orbital motion of these neighboring stars. Their resulting catalog of 380 double stars presented to the Royal Society in 1824 earned them the gold medal of the Astronomical Society and the grand prize of the Institut de France. For his second catalog of double stars two years later South was awarded the Copley Medal of the Royal Society."DSB. unknown
