  • I Am Writing Today to Ask the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) to Pass Strong Statewide Rules That Prioritiz
    I am writing today to ask the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) to pass strong statewide rules that prioritize public health, racial justice, the environment, and wildlife. Colorado’s communities have had to bear the consequences of adverse impacts from oil and gas development for too long. Oil and gas drilling is also harmful for the lands, waters, and wildlife in the surrounding areas. I respectfully request that you adopt the strongest possible rules in order to fulfill your new mission. Homes, communities and schools need to be protected by reasonable setbacks from oil and gas operations. No community or person should be considered disposable or be suffering from predatory drilling practices -- equitable rules must be put into place. The same applies to critical wildlife habitat, such as riparian areas. I’d also like to urge you to consult with expert agencies, like Colorado Parks and Wildlife to ensure that wildlife is protected. Additionally, the cumulative impacts of oil and gas development on greenhouse gas emissions must be addressed. We need rules that will meaningfully address climate change and advance the state forward in achieving its goals set forth by HB20-1261. Thank you for adopting rules that prioritize Coloradans and our environment! A Jochums A.l.

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • Contact! Hollywood Comes to Herndon
    Contact! Hollywood Comes to Herndon By Barbara Glakas Hollywood came to Herndon in the 1990’s. Portions of the 1997 Warner Bros. science fiction movie “Contact” were filmed in Herndon at a historic home on Grace Street. The movie was based on a novel by the same name, written by Carl Sagan. The basic plot line is as follows: Dr. Ellie Arroway, played by actress Jodie Foster, had an interest in astronomy since her childhood, an interest that was fostered by her father. Later in her life, as a SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) scientist, she found evidence of extraterrestrial life. She was ultimately selected to make first contact. The nations of the world funded the construction of a pod which she piloted. The pod supposedly traveled through a series of wormholes. She experienced displacement and met her deceased father on a beach. She later fell unconscious. When she awoke she found herself on the floor of the pod. Arroway insisted that she was gone for 18 hours, but to the others it appeared that the pod quickly malfunctioned and simply dropped into a safety net. Although most people did not believe her descriptions of her experiences, she was later confidentially informed by the White House Chief of Staff that her recording device had indeed recorded 18 hours of static. She later received additional financial support for her SETI program. In addition to Jodie Foster, the movie also starred Matthew McConaughey, James Woods, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, David Morse and Angela Bassett, among others. The movie grossed approximately $170 million and won several awards, including the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.

    1 “Call for help”: Analysis of Agent Cooper’s Wounded Masculinity in Twin Peaks 2.6.2021 Dale Cooper Twin Peaks crime fiction detective fiction masculinity trauma Karla Lončar karla.loncar[a]lzmk.hr Ph.D. candidate Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography This essay explores the shifts in representation of the masculinity of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, one of the leading characters of the Twin Peaks fictional universe, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. The research covers three chapters. The first chapter serves as an analysis of Cooper’s character from the original television series (1990–91) and Lynch’s film prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), in which he is interpreted as an intuitive detective (Angela Hague), who departs from the conventional depiction of detective characters. The second one investigates Cooper’s “returns” in the third season/Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) and their significance for his character development through the lens of psychoanalytic interpretations of the detective/crime genre and its connections to past trauma (Sally Rowe Munt). The third chapter further explores the struggles of Cooper’s three major self-images in The Return: the Good Dale/DougieCooper, Mr. C and Richard, all of which suggest certain issues in perception of his masculinity, by referring to several psychoanalytic, feminist and masculinity scholars (Isaac D. Balbus, Jack Halberstam, Lee Stepien), official Twin Peaks novels The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes (Scott Frost, 1991) and Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier (Mark Frost, 2017) as well as the Ancient myth of Orpheus and Alfred Hitchcock’s film Vertigo (1958).
