May 1, 2020 Grace and Peace to You, Scattered Saints of FPC, As We
May 1, 2020 Grace and peace to you, scattered saints of FPC, As we enter Week 7 of our Covid Quarantine, the word of the week around our house is food. Food has become our most frequent topic of conversation. “What shall I make for dinner? What do we have? Let’s find a new recipe. What do we need? How can we get it? Where shall we shop? What time shall we go? What restaurants wear masks and glove and practice social distancing for takeout -- and how far ahead do we need to order if we want to eat before 10:00? How can I avoid chocolate? (answer: by grabbing the popcorn. Excuse me a minute, I’ll be right back…) Food. It’s what we are all thinking about, we suspect. John Krasinski was thinking about food on this week’s episode of SGN, “Some Good News” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1zIgTwENPg ). And when we aren’t thinking about our own food, many of us are thinking about neighbors who don’t have the choices and resources to get food that we do. Or the workers in the food chain who labor night and day to keep us supplied with food. Or the ministries which strain to offer food to hungry folks under strange constraints: if you have a hankering for a miracle, look into stories of the efforts in every part of the world to bring food to hungry strangers. Here is news from Dr. Reeta and Hari Rao, our mission partners in SNEHA mission in Dehradun, India: Over the last few weeks, SNEHA has actively involved in distributing basic food necessities (Rice, Lentils, Flour, Cooking Oil, Salt, Potatoes, Soya), to more than 550 adults & children through our personal contribution as a family.

FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue?

Someone (usually Michael) says something cringeworthy and someone else (most often Jim) glances at the camera, slightly widens his eyes, and imperceptibly grimaces. That was weird, his face says, for all of us. That look was the central gag of The Office, NBC’s reimagining of a British television sitcom about life amidst corporate inanity. The joke never got old over nine seasons. Part of the show’s conceit is that a documentary camera crew is on hand capturing all this footage, allowing the characters to break the fourth wall with a running, reaction-shot commentary. A textbook example can be found in “Koi Pond,” from Season 6, when Jim (John Krasinski) finds the camera after Michael (Steve Carell) makes yet another inappropriate analogy during corporate sensitivity training. Don’t even try to count the number of times throughout The Office that eyebrows are alarmingly raised.
