Consider Purchase of Specialized Projectors and Film CITY COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO November 27, 2018 FROM: Susan Adams, Flint Hills Discovery Center Director MEETING: December 4, 2018 SUBJECT: FHDC Projectors and nWave Film Agreements PRESENTER(S): Susan Adams, Flint Hills Discovery Center Director BACKGROUND In April 2012, the City of Manhattan opened the Flint Hills Discovery Center (FHDC). This 35,000 square foot facility explores the science and cultural history of the Flint Hills of Kansas through permanent and temporary exhibits and accompanying programs for visitors of all ages and backgrounds. There are 10,000 square feet of permanent exhibits at the Flint Hills Discovery Center. The space is programmatically supported by an additional 2,100 square foot temporary exhibit gallery. Changing exhibitions are presented on average of 10-12 weeks, with approximately 3-5 changing exhibits each year. FHDC’s temporary exhibition program seeks out exhibits that serve the local population and Flint Hills regional interests with a focus on the mission of FHDC. Some of the temporary exhibits are developed in collaboration with community partnerships while others are purchased from companies that specialize in traveling exhibits. The exhibit subjects are chosen to expand the general public’s engagement with and understanding of unusual subject matter that they ordinarily wouldn’t be aware of or be exposed to. DISCUSSION The Flint Hills Discovery Center and the Flint Hills Discovery Center Foundation have been able to secure, through a private donor, the funds to purchase an upgrade for the Immersive Theater projectors and to add new animated/documentary films. The projector upgrade and specialized films had been requested through the Capital Improvement Program for 2019 and had been delayed with the expectation that outside funding be considered. The total gift to secure these items for FHDC is $417,950 and is being graciously donated by Marty Vanier. Marty Vanier and her late husband Bob Krause previously donated $750,000 in 2015, with $220,000 of that gift to support the ongoing Immersive Theater costs. The original gift in 2015 gave them the naming rights of the theater which is now referred to as the Horizon Ranch Immersive Theater. This gift will allow FHDC to purchase four (4) 3-Chip laser projectors. The technology of the current projector system is considered obsolete and was installed 6 1/2 years ago when the building was first opened. FHDC is currently spending, on average from the previous Vanier/Krause gift, approximately $20,000 a year to repair the current projectors. Once installed, these enhancements will significantly reduce repair costs for the system, and save money being withdrawn from the FHDC Foundation endowment. The 3-Chip laser projectors will not require lamp replacements and will have a five-year warranty. The cost of these projectors, along with the services and upgrade, are quoted to cost $337,950. The upgrade to this level of projectors will enhance the current "Tide of Times" film while also giving FHDC the capability to offer additional films utilizing the fourth projector. This upgrade will not only improve the quality of the existing "Tides of Time" film viewing experience, but will also allow FHDC the opportunity to offer additional attraction and documentary films to our guests. A direct purchase is being recommended for these projectors due to the specialty of this technological equipment and familiarity with the company. Few companies work in this market, and the current company that has submitted the agreement, Communications Electronic Design (CED), is the original company that installed the system and has continued to service it over the past 6 1/2 years. CED has a proven record with FHDC and it would be a challenge to find another company that could offer the equivalent products and proven service as CED has offered for the past 6 1/2 years. If FHDC works with a vendor other than CED, we not only lose continuity and our current contract with them, we risk the possibility of another vendor coming in and severely disrupting the functionality of the theater. The additional $40,000 gift would allow FHDC to contract for specialized films with nWave. This is a two-year contract at $40,000 a year. nWave is being chosen since they offer very specialized films to museums and science centers similar to FHDC. These kinds of companies are rare and nWave meets the needs of the specialized theater due to the seating capacity being limited and films needing to be short due to the comfort of the current seating. The FHDC team has researched this information and met with nWave at a recent convention and have determined that their films would be compatible with the FHDC set up and upgraded projector system. They offer short films that meet the needs of the theater with the large format compatibility in addition to having a large catalog of films to choose from that are educational, animated, and documentary based. FHDC would have access to four films a year (two animated and two documentary films). The additional films have been a request from guests and was also noted numerous times in the 2016 Community Engagement survey. A direct purchase is being recommended as this film company offers the exact needs for the FHDC theater. Recognition for Marty Vanier's gift will be noted in the credits once the project has been completed. Additional forms of recognition will be incorporated into other formats in gratitude of her very generous gift to the Flint Hills Discovery Center. FINANCING The financing for this purchase is being offered as a gift to the Flint Hills Discovery Center from Marty Vanier through the Flint Hills Discovery Center Foundation. Marty Vanier has continued to show her commitment to FHDC and its possibility for improvements and expansion. Her support of both of these projects through these gifts reflects that very story and the belief she has in the Flint Hills Discovery Center. ALTERNATIVES It appears the Commission has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Commission may: 1A. Authorize City Administration to finalize and the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a direct purchase agreement for four Laser projectors with Communications Electronics Design, of Louisville, Kentucky, in the amount of $337,950 being paid through a gift from Marty Vanier. 1B. Authorize City Administration to finalize and the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a direct purchase for a two-year agreement at $40,000 per year with nWave, of Los Angeles, California, for attraction films being paid through a gift from Marty Vanier. 2. Deny the request. 3. Modify or develop alternatives if other concerns or factors arise. 4.Table the request. RECOMMENDATION City Administration recommends the City Commission authorize staff to finalize and the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a direct purchase of four Laser projectors with Communications Electronic Design, of Louisville, Kentucky, in the amount of $337,950 being paid through a gift from Marty Vanier. City Administration recommends the City Commission authorize staff to finalize and the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a two-year agreement at $40,000 a year with nWave, of Los Angeles, California, for attraction films being paid through a gift from Marty Vanier.

  • ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: the Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin
    ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: The Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin Russell, Ph.D. It is widely acknowledged that W. H. Auden became a Christian in about 1940, but relatively little critical attention has been paid to Auden‟s theology, much less to the particular theological sources of Auden‟s faith. Auden read widely in theology, and one of his earliest and most important theological influences on his poetry and prose is Saint Augustine of Hippo. This dissertation explains the Augustinian origin of several crucial but often misunderstood features of Auden‟s work. They are, briefly, the nature of evil as privation of good; the affirmation of all existence, and especially the physical world and the human body, as intrinsically good; the difficult aspiration to the fusion of eros and agape in the concept of Christian charity; and the status of poetry as subject to both aesthetic and moral criteria. Auden had already been attracted to similar ideas in Lawrence, Blake, Freud, and Marx, but those thinkers‟ common insistence on the importance of physical existence took on new significance with Auden‟s acceptance of the Incarnation as an historical reality. For both Auden and Augustine, the Incarnation was proof that the physical world is redeemable. Auden recognized that if neither the physical world nor the human body are intrinsically evil, then the physical desires of the body, such as eros, the self-interested survival instinct, cannot in themselves be intrinsically evil. The conflict between eros and agape, or altruistic love, is not a Manichean struggle of darkness against light, but a struggle for appropriate placement in a hierarchy of values, and Auden derived several ideas about Christian charity from Augustine.

  • International Year of the Mountains 2002
    INDEX TO THE JOURNALS OF THE MOUNTAIN CLUB OF SOUTH AFRICA 1979 to 2000 (volumes 82-103) This third Journal Index of the Mountain Club of South Africa is dedicated to the International Year of the Mountains 2002. Mountains are fragile ecosystems which are globally important as water towers of the earth, repositories of rich biological diversity, popular destinations for recreation and tourism and areas of important cultural heritage. They provide a direct life-support base for about 10% of humankind. They also provide 30-60% of downstream fresh water in humid areas and up to 70-95% in semi-arid to arid environments. Rapid and growing awareness of the importance of mountain areas in recent years prompted the United Nations General Assembly in November 1998 to declare 2002 as the International Year of Mountains. The International Year of Mountains promoted the conservation and sustainable development of mountain regions, aiming to ensure the well-being of both mountain inhabitants (whose livelihoods, cultural heritage, opportunities and overall well-being are at stake) and lowland communities. How to use this Index The methodology used for compiling this index follows that used for the two previous indices i.e. Entries appear in alphabetical sequence under authors’ names as well as subject headings. Each article is indexed as a whole with added entries where necessary. Each article is entered under the most specific heading that fits the whole article e.g. an article about AFRICA FACE, Table Mt. , is entered under AFRICA FACE, Table Mt. , not under TABLE Mt. If a considerable part of an article on a region is devoted to a specific peak in that region, an additional entry is made under the name of that peak.

  • 3D a Space Adventure of the Third Kind
    FLY ME TO THE MOON – 3D A Space Adventure of the Third Kind. In 1969 three astronauts dared to go where no man had gone before; the moon. Today, nWave Pictures is creating an animated feature film that will take you back to that historic moment. Producing and creating truly immersive 3D images that will literally put you, the audience, into the action, a part of the story. Cinema is about to cross into a new frontier. 3D cinema has been around for a very long time. In the early 1900’s, the first 3D experiments were carried out by none other than the Lumiere brothers. During the golden era of 3D cinema, 1952 to 1954, Hollywood released over fifty 3D titles. 3D made another resurgence in the late 1970’s with films like Jaws 3D, and Amityville 3D. But in the past, it was never more than a passing fad. The poor quality of the projection systems was largely to blame. With the advent of digital cinema, this is about to change. Rather than being a by- product of digital cinema, 3D could very well become the single most important reason for exhibitors to go digital. In the past few years, there have been growing indicators of the worldwide appeal of 3D cinema. The huge success of the 3D release of The Polar Express, grossing $45 million in a mere 64 IMAX venues got everyone’s attention. The fact that low budget 3D films with no stars attached and hardly any marketing budgets routinely gross well over $30 million, in a mere 140 IMAX 3D theaters worldwide, is perhaps even more significant.

  • A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography
    A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 7 Audio/Visual Materials Alphabetical Listing Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2018 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Vol. 7, Audio/Visual Materials, Alphabetical Listing INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. This volume contains an alphabetical listing of audio-visual materials. Coverage of this material begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other titles will be added at a later date. The first volume in this supplement focuses on monographic and serial titles, arranged alphabetically by author or main entry. The second volume presents the exact same information arranged by subject. The third volume focuses on the periodical literature of Doyle and Holmes, listing individual articles alphabetically. The fourth volume includes "core" or "primary" citations from the periodical literature. The fifth volume includes "passing" or "secondary" references to Doyle or Holmes in the periodical literature. The sixth volume organizes the periodical literature according to De Waal's original categories. As the bibliography expands, additional annotations will be provided in order to give the researcher a better idea on the exact Holmesian or Doylean reference contained in each article. The compiler wishes to thank Peter E.

  • 1 the Ctp Graduate Faculty Film Forum the Other
    THE CTP GRADUATE FACULTY FILM FORUM THE OTHER: A THEME EXPLORED IN TWO FILMS, COME AND SEE AND ONCE WERE WARRIORS By Leah Lucas, March 2002 INTRODUCTION My journey into this theme of ‘the other’ began with my choosing of two foreign films to explore. Both of these films, one from Russia and one from New Zealand are quite unlike the mainstream Hollywood thrillers. They are about war and family, both experiences depicted with a raw intensity that goes right into the body. They are not easy films to view, but I believe worthy, providing valuable thoughts and responses for lively discussion. Elem Klimov, the Russian director of ‘Come and See’ wanted his film to appear so vividly real, to seem like a documentary. Klimov was a very young boy during World War Two when he had to flee the Volga River to reach the Urals with his mother and sisters. The Germans were on the attack and had just bombed the nearby petroleum plant. The flammable petroleum spread over the river boiling the water in a raging inferno. All the mothers heaped coats and blankets upon the children along with their own bodies to protect them from the flames. Elem, being a curious boy peaked out from under his mother’s body to gaze upon a scene of hell. He describes how his very skin could sense the apocalyptic destruction. As a filmmaker he felt compelled to give genuine expression to the emotional complexities experienced from the agony of war. The original title of his film was KILL HITLER, referring not just to Hitler the man but also to the darkness within each of us.
