Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 319]

Reunião da Mesa da Constituinte discute como será a votação do substitutivo da Sistematização no Plenário geral. Já existem propostas do Centrão e da Mesa. De acordo com o Senador Mauro Benevides (PMDB-CE), presidente em exercício da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC), a Mesa se encaminhará para a apresentação de outro substitutivo. Sessão solene conclui os trabalhos da Comissão de Sistematização dando por encerrada a votação do substitutivo, este encaminhado à Mesa da ANC. O Deputado Bernardo Cabral (PMDB-AM), faz considerações sobre os trabalhos da Comissão de Sistematização. O Senador Affonso Arinos (PFL-RJ) repete a frase de Benjamin Franklin: "Por haver vivido muito, fui levado a mudar de opinião várias vezes em assuntos importantes, assim aceito este projeto" e conclui declarando aceitar o projeto. O Deputado Amaury Muller (PDT-RS) afirma que embora os Constituintes façam um balanço positivo dos assuntos que foram tratados na Sistematização, reconhecendo seu trabalho, mantém-se a fé e a esperança de que os Constituintes no Plenário possam traduzir com fidelidade os compromissos que assumiram com a sociedade brasileira durante a campanha eleitoral. O Senador Mario Covas (PMDB-SP), a Deputada Sandra Martins Cavalcanti (PFL-RJ) e o Deputado Arnaldo Faria de Sá (PTB-SP) consideram que no Plenário alguns dos pontos do substitutivo serão reformados, enriquecendo o texto. O Deputado Carlos Sant'anna (PMDB-BA) ressalta a necessidade de alterações em questões formais como a língua, a estrutura e a harmonia do texto. O Deputado Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva (PT-SP) espera que o projeto tenha melhorias no Plenário, pois a sociedade brasileira está na expectativa de que esta Constituição possa retratar sua luta nos últimos anos. O Senador Fernando Henrique Cardoso (PMDB-SP) crê que o resultado dos trabalhos será uma Constituição democrática e moderna.

Joseph Priestley: the man who drew time

The Joseph Priestley House Museum at Northumberland, Pennsylvania became interested in Priestley's pioneering timelines as a complement to his better known work in chemistry, electricity, biblical scholarship and political radicalism. Boyd Davis wrote this short article for the newsletter published by the Friends of the museum. The article concentrates on the connections between Priestley, his French contemporary Barbeu-Dubourg and Benjamin Franklin at the time of the struggle for American Independence, and Priestley's two key chronographic innovations: the use of drawn or printed lines to represent the duration of lives, and the associated use of dots to show when the dates of such lives are in doubt or dispute. Keywords: timeline, chronographics
