Miller, VP Systems Applications & Integratio n, Maxwell Technologies, Inc. - We live in a time of a subtle, but inexor able quest, for fully electrified transportation systems. Concern over o ur planet becoming an out of control greenhouse is becoming pervasive in professional circles and finally in political arenas. A sizeable portion of the public is also coming to this realization, although it will take longer for the majority opinion to form. Mitigation measures such as dri ving toward a hydrogen economy as well as pursuing alternative forms of e nergy have gained a certain momentum. But hydrogen as an energy carrier is not gaining the support most considered essential only 2 or so years a go. What is becoming clearer is that the truly sustainable energy carrie r of the future is electrification. More electric – everything! In th is presentation we take a look at the situation with CO and the push for alternative energy sources. Then the focus narrows to transportation and why it will need to be mostly electrified by 2050 and what sort of energ y storage systems will be needed in support of sustainable electric trans portation. This includes discussion on advanced chemistry batteries and carbon-ultracapacitors and their potential for working in combination. T he talk will conclude on what the prospects are for electric energy stora ge.

The key means for the persuasive perform ance of history was archaeologically correct scenery: the precise, detail ed recreation (usually in painting, but sometimes in three-dimensions) of specific buildings and architectural remains. Nowhere was this devotion to historically accurate mise-en-scène more apparent than in Victorian productions of Shakespeare, which afforded opportunities to recreate onst age sites ranging from the Tower of London to the Piazza San Marco in Ven ice. In this lecture, we will look at how the astonishing accuracy of th eatrical scenery and the presence of live actors recreating legendary eve nts collectively established the Victorian theatre as a place where the t raditional parts of history were reclaimed and restored for a mass popula r audience.
