# John T. Daniels

John Thomas Daniels Jr. (July 31, 1873 – January 31, 1948) was a member of the U.S. Life-Saving Station in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, who took the photograph of the first powered flight on December 17, 1903. The flight was by the Wright brothers flying their Wright Flyer. Daniels, who had never seen a camera before, later said that he was so excited by seeing the Flyer rising that he was unsure if he had squeezed the bulb triggering the shutter. The camera that he operated was a Gundlach Korona V view camera, which used 5-by-7-inch glass-plate negatives. The camera was owned by the Wright brothers, who were careful to record the history-making moment, and also to preserve a record for any future patent claims. The plate was not developed until the Wright Brothers returned to Ohio.
The Wrights made four flights that day; three were photographed: the first, third and fourth. After the Wright Flyer was hauled back from the fourth flight, a powerful gust of wind caught it. Daniels grabbed a strut in an attempt to hold down the aircraft, but he was caught between the wings as the Flyer flipped end over end. Daniels was not seriously hurt, but the Flyer was destroyed with even the engine block split in half. Daniels would tell the story of the day he "survived the first airplane crash" for the remainder of his life.
Life-Saving Stations were located along U.S. coastlines to provide emergency rescues for crew and passengers of ships foundering offshore. Members of stations were typically known as "surfmen". The service was merged in 1915 into the new U.S. Coast Guard. Daniels retired from the Coast Guard in 1918.
In 1913, a decade after his famous photo, an older cousin of his, Josephus Daniels, became Secretary of the Navy, and later, Ambassador to Mexico, while earlier in life he had been a newspaper editor and publisher, gaining a controlling interest in the Raleigh News & Observer.
Daniels died January 31, 1948, one day after Orville Wright's death.

## Anniversary events

In 2003, Daniels' granddaughter participated in the 100th anniversary First Flight Ceremonies at Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
On December 17, 2012, the great-grandniece of the Wright Brothers, Kate Jameson (through their niece Leontine Wright, daughter of their brother Lorin, later Jameson) reunited with the great-grandson of photographer John T. Daniels, also named John Daniels.

# Al Bruner

Al Bruner (1923–1987) was a Canadian television broadcaster, most noted as the co-founder of the Global Television Network.

## Before Global

Bruner was born in Leamington, Ontario in 1923. In his early days Bruner sang in Wayne King's Detroit orchestra, but soon found his way into broadcasting by helping to establish the Toronto-based television station CFTO-TV, which went on the air in 1961. However, Bruner's eyes turned to Hamilton when the founder of CHCH-TV, Ken Soble, asked him to become the sales manager at his station, which had recently become disaffiliated with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and was the first independent television station in Canada.
With the financial backing of Power Corporation of Canada, Soble put forward a proposal to the Board of Broadcast Governors in 1966 for a national television network which would broadcast by satellite, with CHCH as its flagship. Soble died just a few months after submitting his original proposal, and Bruner took over the application process. Power Corporation backed out of the application in 1969, and Bruner was fired from Niagara Television.

## At Global Television

Along with Peter Hill, Bruner then founded Global Communications to continue the network license application. The new company was ultimately granted a six-transmitter network in southern Ontario, stretching from Windsor to Ottawa, in 1972, but could not obtain a transmitter that would reach Montreal. The network, which promised high levels of local content, launched on January 6, 1974. However, after three months in business the station ran into financial trouble and was purchased by Canwest.
After leaving Global, Bruner worked on devising broadcasting technology, and pitched his idea of local insertion, unheard of at the time, to the broadcasting community in New York. However, his ideas never reached fruition as he died in a New York post office of a heart attack in 1987.

# Correspondence with Enemies Act 1798

The Correspondence with Enemies Act 1798 (38 Geo. 3. c. 28) was an Act of the British Parliament.
France had declared war on Great Britain in 1793, near the beginning of the French Revolutionary Wars. In response, the British Parliament had passed the Correspondence with Enemies Act 1793 to prohibit trade with France. In 1795 France invaded the Republic of the United Provinces (the Netherlands) and founded the Batavian Republic there. On 5 April 1798, Parliament passed this Act to extend the provisions of the 1793 Act to the French-occupied Netherlands (still described in the Act as the "United Provinces").

## Provisions of the Acts

The 1793 Act had made it high treason for any person resident in Great Britain to "knowingly and wilfully" supply materials to France during the war, without a licence from the king. Buying land in France, or lending somebody money with which to buy land in France, was also made treason. Merely travelling to France was punishable with imprisonment for up to 6 months. Any insurance policy relating to any ship or wares belonging to French subjects was made void.
The same rules also applied to the Netherlands from 1798.
The rules of procedure and evidence contained in the Treason Act 1695 and the Treason Act 1708 applied to treason under these Acts. The Acts did not apply to anyone in the army or navy (but such people were subject to military or naval law instead).

### Commencement

The Act contained an unusual feature (also found in the 1793 Act), in that instead of coming into force on one particular date, it instead came into force on different dates in different parts of the world.
