  • Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019
    Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019 Introduction Lake Granby, approximately 7,250 surface acres when full, is one of the largest coldwater reservoirs in the state. It is the main storage reservoir in the west slope portion of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project which supplies water to the northern Front Range through the Adams Tunnel at Grand Lake. It is a focal point of the Grand County tour- ism economy and offers many amenities. Recreational access is managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area. The recreational fishery of Granby is dominated by lake trout (aka mackinaw) and hosts the highest density of the species that has been documented in Colorado. Kokan- ee salmon have been stocked in Granby since 1951 to pro- vide recreational opportunity, a prey base to produce tro- phy lake trout, and spawning adults are captured annually to provide eggs for restocking. Rainbow trout of various sizes are also stocked and there is a moderate density of self-sustaining brown trout. Suckers and mottled sculpin Figure 1. Lake Granby are also present. Lake Granby also contains a dense population of mysis separate from the aggregate bag limit of other species. shrimp, which are an excellent prey source for smaller Due to reasons described above, the lake trout fishery in (<24”) lake trout.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

    copyright 2013 Bikerpelli Sports i You need maps with this book! This guide is designed to be used with two maps from Latitude 40 – Fruita & Grand Junction and Moab East. These are available at your local shop or online. These are simply the best maps we’ve found for the trail, there’s a full breakdown of different map options on page 8. This overview map is great for planning purposes but you’ll want a real map in the field. Why? You’re gonna take a few wrong turns, it happens to everyone. The difference between a 5 minute mistake & a 1 hour mistake is having good maps. There are about 1000 other reasons but if you don’t get it by now it won’t matter what we say. copyright 2013 Bikerpelli Sports ii Why are we giving this book away? This guide is the product of 1000’s of hours of work and recognized as the most thorough & accurate KPT guide in existence. It was sold commercially from 2006-2012 which is kind of a pain in the butt when you’re not a bookstore. We’ve sold a couple thousand copies & have been happy with the return. Now it’s time to focus our attention elsewhere – rather than selling guides & maps – and take on new projects, new rides, new events. So we’re putting this info out to the world to be freely distributed in hopes it will promote responsible and safe use of the trail. Below is the entire guidebook, the whole shebang, no charge.

Welcome to the fifth annual Multicultural Undergraduate Research, Art and Leadership Symposium, we truly appreciate your presence. With MURALS, we are intentionally reaching out to students of color in various disciplines and exposing them to a variety of undergraduate research opportunities. Mentoring, presenting research, networking, and learning about multicultural leadership are four main aspects of the program. MURALS, in its 5th year, has become a true student success collaborative initiative that is made possible through efforts and dedication across campus. These efforts have demonstrated dedication and measurable outcomes that ensure racially minoritized students are affirmed in their educational efforts by providing support to ensure success. MURALS participants will be able to: — Increase their interaction and collaboration with students from diverse populations — Communicate confidently and constructively about their research/scholarly work with their peers, faculty and staff — Independently synthesize and extrapolate information pertaining to their own research/scholarly work, including lessons learned, strengths, and ways to improve — Articulate significance of independent research interests as it pertains to their field, community, nation and/or world.

It was so far away that there was no summer. It was so far away that the trees and the grasses did not grow as they should. He-Who-Made-the-Animals saw how it was that there was not enough sun to heat the earth, and so he fashioned a snare. The Sun did not see the snare in his path, walked into the snare and the snare held him fast. The sun was close to the earth.
