...today was not always this way. Let’s take a brief look at the history of television and how it came into being. TIMELINE OF TV HISTORY Different experiments by various people, in the field of electricity and radio, led to the development of basic technologies and ideas that laid the foundation for the invention of television. In the late 1800s, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a student in Germany, developed the first ever mechanical module of television. He succeeded in sending images through wires with the help of a rotating metal disk. This technology was called the ‘electric telescope’ that had 18 lines of resolution. Around 1907, two separate inventors, A.A. Campbell-Swinton from England and Russian scientist Boris Rosing, used the cathode ray tube in addition to the mechanical scanner system, to create a new television system. From the experiments of Nipkow and Rosing, two types of television systems came into existence: mechanical television and electronic television. MECHANICAL TELEVISION HISTORY In 1923, an American inventor called Charles Jenkins used the disk idea of Nipkow to invent the first ever practical mechanical television system. By 1931, his Radiovisor Model 100 was being sold in a complete kit as a mechanical television. In 1926, just a little after Jenkins, a British inventor known as John Logie Baird, was the first person to have succeeded in transmitting moving pictures through the mechanical disk system started by Nipkow. He also...

Evaluate the Dominant Economic Traits of the Tea Industry in Pakistan. 2. How Ray Ban is Using Music, Architecture and the Human Experience to Sell Sunglasses 3. Create IFAS & EFAS for Tapal Tea. March, 2015 Karachi, Pakistan IQRA UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION Ray-Ban is a brand of sunglasses and eyeglasses founded in 1937 by American company Bausch & Lomb.[1] The brand is best known for their Wayfarer and Aviator styles of sunglasses. In 1999, Bausch & Lomb sold the brand to the Italian Luxottica Group for a reported $640 million.[2] HISTORY OF Ray-Ban The history of the Ray-Ban Aviator dates back to the 1930s, when new airplanes allowed people to fly higher and farther. Many US Army Air Service pilots were reporting that the glare from the sun was giving them headaches and altitude sickness. In 1929, US Army Air Corps Lieutenant General John MacCready asked Bausch & Lomb, a Rochester, New York-based medical equipment manufacturer, to create aviation sunglasses that would reduce the headaches and nausea experienced by pilots, which are caused by the intense blue and white hues of the sky,[3][4] a new kind of glasses were introduced. The prototype, created in 1936 and known as ‘Anti-Glare’, had plastic frames and green lenses that could cut out the glare without...

Sheila said it was always easy to relate to others, she was raised very generous and caring, making her sensitive to others which she said had both helped her and hurt her at times. I asked if her experiences as a manager changed her, she laughed and said that she us to be a timid person now can be assertive if need to be. Sheila also demonstrated an external locus of control by confessing that her Dad in raising and still encouraging her had got her where she is today.

Campbell Swinton in England and Boris Rosing in Russia independently propose an electronic scanning system in which a cathode ray tube could produce an image on a phosphorus-coated screen. 1923 Vladimir Zworykin, working for Westinghouse Electric, patents the iconoscope, a television transmission tube and in 1924, patents the kinescope, the receiver tube. 1925 In England, John Logie Baird demonstrates the first moving television pictures via a mechanical system based on Nipkow's disk; they were recognizable human faces in 1925 and moving objects in 1926. He had shown a still image of Felix the Cat in 1924. 1927 Philo Farnsworth transmits the first electronic television image and applies for a patent on the first complete electronic system, the Image Dissector.
