Scott Bradshaw, district manager for Tooele Valley Mosquito Abatement, said the abatement district uses chickens as indicators for whether the virus is being transmitted by mosquitos because the chickens can be tested for antibodies that develop after the bird has been infected by the virus. If chickens in the Stansbury area have those antibodies in their blood, then that is a good sign the virus is not only present in local mosquito populations, but also FRANCIE AUFDEMORTE/TTB PHOTO being transmitted by those mosquitos to Foreman Antonio Gomez directs his crew from Silver Spur Engineering Company as they work on the new pipeline in Settlement Canyon to bring irrigation water to the Settlement Canyon other species, including humans.

  • ―Basically a True Story:‖ the Beginning Or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb
    ―Basically a True Story:‖ The Beginning or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb By Theresa Lynn Verstreater B.A. in History, December 2008, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of the George Washington University in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts January 31, 2015 Thesis directed by Charles Thomas Long Assistant Professor of History Abstract of Thesis ―Basically a True Story:‖ The Beginning or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb The impact of film as a vehicle for dissolution of information should not be discounted because it allows the viewer to experience the story alongside the characters and makes historical moments more relatable when presented through the modern medium. This, however, can be a double-edged sword as it relates to the creation of collective memory. This thesis examines two films from different eras of the post-atomic world, The Beginning or the End (1947) and Fat Man and Little Boy (1989), to discover their strengths and weaknesses both cinematically and as historical films. Studied in this way, the films reveal a leniency toward what professional historians might consider to be historical ―truth‖ while emphasizing moral ambiguity about the bomb and the complex relationships among the men and women responsible for its creation. While neither film boasts outstanding filmmaking, each attempts to educate the viewer while maintaining entertainment value through romantic subplots and impressive special effects.

  • Part Ii the Elements of Film
    PART II THE ELEMENTS OF FILM 43 Historical Overview: The Development of the Image EARLY MECHANISMS The invention of photography in the early part of the nineteenth century by Joseph Niepce and Louis Daguerre in France was the first step toward capturing the moving image of reality, a dream held by artists and philosophers for thousands of years. Once still photography had been achieved, attempts to invent moving photographic pictures began. There already were mechanical devices that gave motion to drawn figures, ancestors of our animated films (Figure 1). There were also experiments that attempted to use the photographic process to give motion to images of real figures; a series of still photographs taken by Eadweard Muybridge in the 1870s with a battery of twenty-four cameras so as to capture increments of motion in a racehorse was projected on a screen in rapid succession to give the illusion of movement. But the final stages of the development of a practical motion picture camera and projection system had to wait until the perfection of a flexible film that could replace glass photographic plates. Soon after a celluloid film base was discovered by an amateur inventor, the first roll film was marketed by George Eastman in 1888. It was the team of William Dickson and Thomas Edison, however, who used the flexible film for cinematography rather than still photographs. By 1889, the rudimentary problems with regulating the movement of the celluloid strips through the camera had been solved, and Edison shortly marketed a box device into which a single viewer could peer to see the unprojected images in motion.

  • Post-War America, the Hollywood Left and the Problem with Film Noir
    Re-examining the Maladjusted Text: Post-war America, the Hollywood Left and the Problem with Film Noir Robert John Manning PhD Thesis University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media Studies October 2015 “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Re-examining the Maladjusted Text: Post-war America, the Hollywood Left and the Problem with Film Noir Film noir is a term created after fact and applied back to films from a previous period and studies have often conflated very different films and privileged some facets over others in an endeavour to structure a definition. Some scholars have identified that a relatively small group of films came to be seen by the Hollywood Left as highly significant; and that their discussions of these films were the products of deeper anxieties faced by this group in the immediate post-war period. Subsequent conclusions were made that the Hollywood Left was opposed to this generalised categorisation similar to contemporary understandings of film noir. The thesis examines those films now considered as film noir in their original contexts. Studying the reception of films generally considered to be representative of contemporary understandings of film noir, such as Boomerang (Elia Kazan, 1947) The Big Sleep (Howard Hawks, 1946) and Crossfire (Edward Dmytryk, 1947) shows how they were parts of very different cycles at the time and not seen critically as a homogeneous group.
