WTS-19-9.Pdf COLLAPSING EMPIRE By John Scalzi 19.9 The Empire has been going with the Flow among the stars for years to avoid the lightspeed limit. The Flow makes possible trade across 47 enclaves of humanity, but change is coming, and it could take down a system that’s lasted for over a thousand years. As voices of concern begin to be raised about the stability of the Flow, a new emperox takes the throne. Can young Lord Marce Claremont escape in time to warn Cardenia about the disaster that is coming? And what about those others who see this as an opportunity to move forward their own ambitions? With assassination attempts and revolution already occurring, what will happen to the Interdependency when the loss of access to the Flow occurs? When the Empire Collapses, who will survive? -October’s meeting is on the 16th at the Simpson Library in Mechanicsburg and the book of the month is The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. -Cover art by Susanitah. -Dear Crabby will tell you how to party like it’s All Hallows Eve.

There is the costume to consider. I wanted to follow Chuck's awesome idea and go for the sandworm, but there's a girl from work I'm hoping to woo, and I didn't want to have a third wheel wreck the vibe. I settled on Iron Man instead. I have all the light-up parts and sound effects for the suit although, it does mean no sitting down. I have a meat foot, pumpkin spice muffins, guacamoldy eyeballs, pumpkin spice blondies with cheesecake swirl, jalapeno mummies, pumpkins spice latte jello shots, brain dip. pumpkin spice pretzel bites, pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin spice White Russians. I've got a killer soundtrack of spooky sounds and rad Halloween appropriate songs for this Dead Man's Party. Purple and orange lights to set the mood, smoke machine for that intimate feel, scary spiders and rats to drive a dame right into a hero's arms. What more can you suggest to seal the deal and spend the next morning making my hopefully soon to be witchy woman pumpkin spiced pancakes for breakfast? Lovesick Lunatic Dear Bat Guano Crazy, Okay, so you've got a costume you can't sit in let alone to get horizontal in, presumably, other people to attend this party so as to at least not make the girl feel like she's in Psycho and about to be your mother, and food that while disgusting in nature is mostly at least theme- appropriate. Assuming you don't blow this just based on your oblivious skills and charm I'd say it could work assuming she's as much of a headcase as you...except for one thing. Nobody should be subjected to the amount of Pumpkin Spice items you're suggesting short of torture that defies all traces of humanity and breaks the Geneva Convention to bits. What did the Russians do to you white or otherwise that you'd abuse alcohol that way, man? I bet you even have one of those horrid plug-ins or wax melts or some such horror that spells like that crap, don't you? If she's as twisted as you and your pumpkin spice worshipping self is you two are made in vomit-inducing heaven. I hope you live a long, happy, smelly existence somewhere far from the rest of us. Happy early Hallow's Eve and goodbye!

With typical transmission of traits through a population there is a 50/50 chance of expressing a particular gene, after which the positive or negative nature of the trait tends to over time determine the likelihood of survival of the carrier. Certain DNA sequences do not follow this pattern and can affect their expression. These are self-propagating and can carry a specific trait much more quickly through a population or in simpler terms, a gene drive. Since the gene drives are so successful, even a negative effect can rapidly be carried throughout a species. We’ve been working with gene drives since the 60’s to try to control various pests. You might remember the concept of introducing certain mosquitos which have a gene that tends toward sterility, in areas that suffer from diseases like Malaria or West Nile Virus. In this case a natural gene drive was discovered and then mosquitos with this trait were cultivated for release with that idea that while they could breed, they would spread the gene drive to the local population. In the 90’s new technologies allowed for the engineering of certain genetic sequences. Now scientists could insert gene drives into the DNA of subjects. Unfortunately, there was a tendency towards mutations, which caused the failure of the gene drive before it could be passed along effectively. 2012 brought scientists a new tool called CRISPR or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. Now it became possible to edit DNA by forcing a break and influencing the repair done to the strand. Gene drives can be used in one of two ways: as a modification drive or a suppression drive.

  • First Look Program 2021
    WELCOME to FIRST LOOK 2021 Welcome to the First Look Festival of 2021! One of my great pleasures as Dean of the School of Cinematic Arts is being able to introduce our festival films each year, and congratulate all the deserving students who contributed to them. This year I am especially proud of the determination and dedication inherent in these projects, as they were completed within the limitations of Covid 19 protocols. Despite this, the work you will see here is of the highest quality, and many will go on to tour the film festival circuit and win awards in the year ahead. They will also serve as calling cards for the talented young professionals who are graduating from the School and launching careers as filmmakers. Our students always depend on their family and friends to help them through their programs. Filmmaking is a challenging endeavor, and it takes a village of encouragement to have the confidence needed to bring a project to fruition. This year our students truly needed support, as our campus was shut down and many of them had to return home. Despite not being able to meet in person, the filmmakers found ways to collaborate. And as their films will attest, did so brilliantly! So please enjoy this year’s festival. And congratulations to all the students whose names appear in the end credits of these films. Elizabeth M. Daley Steven J. Ross/Time Warner Professor and Dean USC School of Cinematic Arts I firmly believe that film has been the major art form of the 20th century, and will continue to have a powerful influence on our culture and society.

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our lives, requiring the entire University of Iowa to shift to online teaching on March 30. The transition required endless patience, flexibility, creativity (and lots of Zoom sessions – see picture above of a departmental meeting), on the part of students, faculty and staff. But one thing it did not change was our commitment to excellence in teaching. I am very proud of our 25 South Madison Street department’s abundant dedication and compassion in meeting this 105 Becker Communication Studies Building ongoing challenge.

  • A Quiet Place
    A QUIET PLACE Screenplay by Bryan Woods & Scott Beck and John Krasinski Story by Bryan Woods & Scott Beck BLACK We hear, very clearly, the sound of light wind. 1 EXT. TOWN - MAIN ST. - LATE AFTERNOON 1 We come up on... a streetlight. There is no illumination... and no movement. We hold on it for a long moment when suddenly... The streetlight bobs... and then begins to sway. We slowly begin to rise up on the streetlight to reveal... a small bird has landed on it. We continue to rise to reveal, behind the bird... Wind blows through the gargantuan evergreens that seem to engulf the narrow main street of a small town in upstate New York. Shop windows and cars on either side covered in dust, the place seems frozen in time. There is no movement. In the very middle of the road one can see... sand. A bizarre incongruity, a long pathway about a shovels width runs the full length of the street with offshoots into open doorways of some of the shops. We hold for a long moment: 2 INT. GENERAL STORE - FRONT - LATE AFTERNOON 2 Slowly pushing through the doorway of a large general store, also covered in dust. To the left, a cash register with small shelves of nearly empty candy boxes below. To the right, a towering shelf full of bags of potato chips, nacho chips and pretzels... None are missing. 3 INT. GENERAL STORE AISLES - LATE AFTERNOON 3 WE MOVE SLOWLY across the floor, down the middle of a general store. Amid the towering shelves of goods on either side, one may recognize a barely perceptible pattern of which shelves are bare and which are not.

  • John Krasinski and the Tense Wait for 'A Quiet Place Part
    John Krasinski and the Tense Wait for ‘A Quiet Place Part IIʼ Itʼs been more than a year since the film he wrote and directed was originally set for release. Now, as the sequel to the 2018 hit reaches theaters, Hollywood is holding its breath. May 19, 2021 “I have no idea whatʼs going to happen with the box office,” Krasinski said. “Whatʼs most important to me is that if you want to see this movie, Iʼm going to show it to you.”Bryan Derballa for The New York Times “I have no idea whatʼs going to happen with the box office,” Krasinski said. “Whatʼs most important to me is that if you want to see this movie, Iʼm going to show it to you.”Bryan Derballa for The New York Times On the night of March 8, 2020, John Krasinski was celebrating the imminent release of his new post- apocalyptic thriller, “A Quiet Place Part II,” which he wrote and directed. He proudly walked the red carpet for its premiere at the Rose Theater as he posed for photographs with Emily Blunt, his wife and the filmʼs star. He told the crowd at Jazz at Lincoln Center how excited he was to share the movie with them and, shortly, with audiences everywhere. Instead, in the days that followed, the world turned into a kind of horror movie itself. An unseen enemy drove people into seclusion; once-thriving locales turned empty and entire industries were put on hold. The release of “A Quiet Place Part II” was postponed. Krasinski spent that time thinking mostly about the safety of his family, but when he contemplated the uncertain state of his industry he also wondered what would happen to his film.
