Neville Hoad gave me a crash course in critical theory on gender; James Loehlin offered great feedback on the overall structure of the study; and Alan Friedman’s meticulous editing improved my writing immeasurably. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to study with Charles Ramírez Berg, who is as great a teacher and person as he is a scholar. He played a crucial role in shaping the chapters on John Ford and my overall understanding of film narrative, representation, and genre. By the same token, I am fortunate to have worked with Elizabeth Cullingford, who has been a great mentor. Her humility, wit, and generosity, as well as her brilliance and tenacity, have been a continual source of inspiration.

  • A Scorpion Story by Kate Simon
    The Ghost of the Past : A Scorpion Story By Kate Simon 1 "Who drank the last of the coffee...Toby?" asked Cabe. He looked over at Toby's desk and watched him duck behind his monitor. "Damn it, Toby. How many times have I asked you to make a fresh pot when you take the last cup?" Toby looked up and smiled. "Forty two." He pointed to his head. "Photographic memory." "Jackass." Cabe shook his head and reached for the filters. He scrounged through the deli bag to find only the onion bagels that gave him heartburn. "And is it too much to ask for you vultures leave me one freaking egg bagel?" He watched the coffee brew as he looked around the garage. Toby and Sly were at their desks working on their various projects. Happy was tuning up her Harley. Paige was working on the endless paperwork. Walter and Kate were upstairs working on another computer coding project he couldn't even pretend to understand. He couldn't believe how these people, these kids, his wife, had changed his life. He smiled as he poured himself a cup of the fresh coffee and added two sugars. He headed toward his desk to tackle some of the mindless paperwork working for Homeland Security generated. Paige looked up at the sound of the opening front door. A petite woman with jet black hair and pale blue eyes walked toward Paige's desk. Her suit was as precisely tailored as her demeanor. "Can I help you?" asked Paige. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a badge.

  • Dissertation Projecting End-Of-Century Human
    DISSERTATION PROJECTING END-OF-CENTURY HUMAN EXPOSURE TO EASTERN COLORADO TORNADOES AND HAILSTORMS: METEOROLOGICAL AND SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVES Submitted by Samuel J. Childs Department of Atmospheric Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2020 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Russ Schumacher Julie Demuth Dennis Ojima Kristen Rasmussen Steven Rutledge Copyright by Samuel J. Childs 2020 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A SYNTHESIS OF METEOROLOGICAL AND HUMAN FACTORS INFLUENCING EASTERN COLORADO SEVERE HAIL AND TORNADO LANDSCAPES The eastern half of Colorado is one of the most active areas for hailstorms and tornadoes in the U.S. An average of 39 tornadoes and 387 severe hail reports are tallied each year over this domain, and a number of damaging events, particularly hailstorms, have occurred in recent years. In an era of climate change, it is of worth to project how the frequency, geography, and severity of tornadoes and hailstorms may change over time, and doing so on a localized scale can shed light on the small-scale complexities that broader analyses miss. It is important to consider both meteorological and non-meteorological effects when projecting the changing human risk and exposure to these hazards in the future, as human factors such as population growth means that more people may potentially be exposed to tornadoes and hailstorms regardless of how climate change may influence storm characteristics. As such, this doctoral study employs a multidisciplinary, multi-perspective approach to investigate how the tornado and severe hail footprint may change across eastern Colorado by the end of the 21st century, and in turn how the impacts on those who live and work in this area may be exacerbated.

  • John Ford Birth Name: Sean Aloysius O'feeney Director, Producer
    John Ford Birth name: Sean Aloysius O'Feeney Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.

  • Grace Cunard
    Grace Cunard Also Known As: Harrier Milfred Jeffries, Mrs. Jack Shannon, "The Master Pen" Lived: April 8, 1893 - January 19, 1967 Worked as: co-director, director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Jennifer M. Bean Known to her fans as a daring jewel thief, an athletic reporter with a nose for news, and a circus tamer of rather ferocious cats, Grace Cunard (Harriet Milfred Jeffries) performed in over one hundred silent-era films, including five of Universal Studio’s most popular adventure serials in the 1910s. She was also known as “The Master Pen,” a thinly veiled pseudonym that graced announcements and title cards for her first serial story and star vehicle, Lucille Love, The Girl of Mystery (1914). Although the exact number of screenplays, stories, and scenarios for which she received credit is unknown, the publicity surrounding her seven-year career at Universal stressed her capacity to “write everything” in which she appeared, and the number likely tallies around fifty films, according to a 1915 biography in Feature Movie Magazine, in what could be seen as a publicity inflation to impress Cunard’s fans (44). Other sources, however, offer alternative calculations. The same year, for instance, reporter Hugh Weir touted Cunard as a “twenty-two year old girl” who is also the “Author of Over Four Hundred Scenarios!” (26). Cunard’s potent celebrity status in the 1910s cannot be considered outside of her partnership with Francis Ford (born Francis Feeney, the elder brother of Western director John Ford), whom she met in 1912. Cunard’s acting and writing talents, as well as her unerring taste for the popular, merged well with Ford’s directorial experience, and in 1913 the team joined Universal Pictures together.
