Basin of northern New Castle County Carpenter Jr. State Park, off Route as a model study, which could be ap­ plied in other communities. The team will use the "Greenway Concept," which it feels will provide a recrea­ tion area in an urban setting. The concept invovles methods of protecting water resources by preser­ ving the vegetation, or greenway, along White Clay Creek. It's a cheaper method that uses less energy and can accomodate specific local needs. Among community groups, the con­ " dition of White Clay Creek has been a significant environmental issue for a decade. Dorothy Miller, of the Coalition for Natural Stream Valleys, Inc., ex­ plained the history of the controversy. She said that in the early sixties, the DuPont Co. purchased large tracts of land to build a dam on the creek. The dam would have created a public water supply reservoir and possibly flood control.

  • Classrooms of the Future Marty Mcfly and Dr Emmett Brown Managed To
    Classrooms of the Future Marty McFly and Dr Emmett Brown managed to do it. They transported themselves through time in the film Back to the Future and its sequels. In the second film, on October 26, 1985, Dr. Emmett Brown arrived in the DeLorean time machine and persuaded Marty McFly and his girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, to travel to the future with him and help their forthcoming children. They travelled thirty years ahead to October 26, 2015. The film was actually made in 1989, some 26 years before the futuristic date in the film. The screenwriters, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, attempted to predict the future. According to Zemeckis, the 2015 depicted in the film was not meant to be an accurate representation of the future. However, the film did correctly predict a number of technological and sociological changes that occurred by 2015, including: the rise of ubiquitous cameras; the use of unmanned flying drones for newsgathering; widescreen flat-panel television sets mounted on walls with multiple channel viewing; video chat systems; hands-free video games; talking hologram billboards; wearable technology; tablet computers with fingerprint scanners; and head-mounted displays. Payment on personal portable devices was also depicted. I am also trying to predict a future: that of education, yet I am not looking 26 years hence. Rather I am looking at five to seven years and the change is likely to be just as impressive as in the film, only achieved in fewer years. This is due to the exponential growth in IT and the impact it is likely to have on education.

  • The Missouri Stories Scriptwriting Fellowship Is an International Competition for Screenplays and Television Pilot Scripts with Story Lines Set in Missouri
    The Missouri Stories Scriptwriting Fellowship is an international competition for screenplays and television pilot scripts with story lines set in Missouri. Three scripts will be chosen from all submissions. The winning writers will receive an all expenses paid trip to our concentrated fellowship experience, held in Missouri in February 2020. The writers will be joined by accomplished industry mentors who will work with each fellow. In addition to workshop time and one-on-one mentor time, we will organize a day trip to visit the area of the state where the scripts are set, for added inspiration. Past industry mentors include: Bob Gale, best known for co-writing films in the “Back to the Future” trilogy; Angelo Pizzo, who wrote among others, Hoosiers and Rudy; Valerie Woods, currently working on OWN’s Queen Sugar; Philip LaZebnik who wrote the screenplays for Mulan and The Prince of Egypt; and Kathleen McGee Anderson, noted for a variety of television credits including ABC Family’s “Lincoln Heights.” A separate committee of industry reading judges will read, score and determine the semifinalists, finalists, and winners of the fellowship competition. Scripts will be evaluated on a ten-point scale for each of six categories: Presentation/Format; Premise/Concept; Structure/Plot/Pacing; Characters/Dialogue; Theme/Style/Tone; and Missouri Relevance. Writers will receive copies of their scoresheets.

Fox 's high school teenager and Christopher Lloyd's endearing mad scientist. Back To The Future 's story begins proper when Doc, who Marty hasn't seen for a week, instructs his young friend to meet him at the Twin Pines Mall later that night. In a conversation that has since been indoctrinated into movie legend, Doc Brown reveals that he built a time machine out of a DeLorean and the duo need to take this contraption for a test drive while avoiding a band of angry Libyan terrorists. As anyone would be in his Nike sneakers, Marty is shocked at Doc's time-bending breakthrough, and even more surprised that journeys through the continuum will be Back to the Future: Continuum Conundrum in such style. Marty and Jennifer investigate in and it's actually Jennifer who deducts that if Marty didn't see Emmett building the DeLorean, he must have a secret lab tucked away somewhere. Marty's girlfriend is proven right when the duo discover a building registered under Doc Brown's birth name, "Von Braun. Furthermore, Bob Gale's involvement in the comic project ensures that Doc Brown's second lab is entirely canon. Craig first began contributing to Screen Rant inBack to the Future: Continuum Conundrum years after graduating college, and has been ranting ever since, mostly to himself in a darkened room.
