Abstract
This paper examines John Ford's Western "My Darling Clementine" (1946) and how in particular the lighting adds to the gritty and harsh nature of the landscape, the town and the characters. It looks at how Ford and his cinematographer actually use lighting and other elements to create a film that falls between the myth and the reality. The lighting suggests a harsh and realistic West, while the isolation of Wyatt Earp in scene after scene sets him apart as a laconic and yet powerful figure.
From the Paper
"The opening sequences show the use of filters to bring out the sky and the clouds over Monument Valley as the Earps bring their cattle across the valley floor. The lighting through most of this opening sequence evokes the documentary which uses only natural sunlight as a source, adding to the realism of the scene and contributing to the grittiness and harsh look of the landscape. This is not a Western that prettifies the West and its denizens. Instead, Ford approaches the West here as a hard place to live and as a place peopled by hard people. Those who seem to "belong" to this landscape will be contrasted with Clementine, who clearly does not belong, especially in the eyes of Wyatt Earp. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the classic film "My Darling Clementine". The writer discusses the way in whcih the elements of style are used in the film to elucidate its central themes. The writer looks at the themes of the settlers' civilization of the West, the character of the lone cowboy or fugitive who doesn't fit into the developing social community, and the violent clash between the Clantons and the Earps that exemplify these disparities.
From the Paper
"In the first scene each of the Earp brothers on the cattle drive is introduced by a low-angle medium shot profiled on horseback against the sky. Somehow the short take, the brief isolation of each one, exposes a premonition of mortality, which is heightened by the ominous arrival of Old Man Clanton and his son Ike hunched over on their buckboard, in a medium shot seen from the back. They, their rig, and their horses are dark figures in the gathering dusk of the hills as Wyatt Earp rides up from the daylight plain to speak to them in low-angled closeup."

Abstract
Analysis of director John Ford's 1946 Western film centering on the lighting. How lighting conveys the theme and mood of the movie. Source of light; dramatic effect. Gives detailed examples of varioius lighting techniques used from several key scenes. How Ford and cinematographer Joseph MacDonald employed lighting and other elements to create a film that falls between the myth and reality.
From the Paper
"In John Ford's Western My Darling Clementine (1946), the lighting adds to the gritty and harsh nature of the landscape, the town, and the characters. Cinematographer Joseph MacDonald relies heavily on source lighting for dramatic effect. Much of the film is shot with low-key lighting without the use of much fill light for the same purpose. There are also strong signs of the direction of the light, suggesting where the source lies. Day-for-night photography is used for many of the exterior night scenes, giving added dramatic effect and making the night sky appear at times to be on fire.
The film is structured on contrasts, and the low-key lighting similarly creates visual contrasts: The film's theme is the coming of civilization to the West. The western town of Tombstone becomes in Ford's..."

Abstract
Light beers have become a viable product in the last few years showing a certain ambiguous health consciousness on the part of the public, at least in America, so that people continue to drink beer but try to reduce their caloric intake at the same time. This paper compares the international markets for the products Bud Light (Anheuser-Busch International, Inc) and Coors Light (Coors Brewing Company).
The paper shows that taste may be a consideration in deciding which beer to purchase, but the success or failure of a lite beer in the international marketplace will depend as much on the marketing and distribution apparatus and skills of the companies that produce these beers, thus raising the issue of whether Anheuser-Busch or Coors will be better able to deliver the product to the consumer. The paper concludes that by this criterion in particular, Bud Light is in a better position than Coors Light.
From the Paper
"Coors has been making progress in the international marketplace as well, but it has also encountered some problems. Canada is a major market for beer, as noted, and Coors had an agreement with Canada's biggest brewer, Molson Breweries, for licensing rights to Coors' top-selling beers in Canada. A dispute arose in 1996 leading to an agreement that Molson would continue to brew and sell Coors Light, Canada's dominant light beer, and Original Coors through June 30, 1997, with doubts about what would happen after that. A court ruling had found that Molson had breached its licensing deal by allowing Miller Brewing Co., a unit of Philip Morris Cos. Inc., to buy a 20 percent stake without Coors' consent in 1993. Molson Breweries is also owned 40 percent each by Toronto-based Molson Cos. Ltd. and Australia's Foster's Brewing Group Ltd. Molson had to pay Coors damages in the millions of dollars (Schuettler, "Coors/Molson Agree"). Coors Light is the dominant light beer in Canada, commanding a 5 to 5.5 percent share of the beer market, and Coors can ill-afford to ignore this market (Schuettler, "Molson Shares Dive")."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the short story "The Darling" by Anton Chekhov. Specifically, the paper discusses the characters' point of view and the theme of the work. The paper examines how the story illustrates women's roles in Victorian society, and uses characterization, theme, and point of view to illustrate the confining lives of women and their families. The paper further examines the character of Olga, a sad, even pathetic character who only lives for the men in her life. The writer concludes that Olga's wasted life is a lesson to anyone who allows another to become the center of his or her world and interests.
Outline:
1. Introduction
a. Thesis
2. Background on Chekhov
a. Writing history and life
3. Characters
a. Olga
b. Husbands
4. Themes of the story
a. Women in society
b. Loss and Death
c. A Mother's Love
5. Conclusion
From the Paper
"Olga (also called Olenka), is the main character of this story and the "darling" referred to in the title. She is an intriguing character full of weaknesses and faults, and yet Chekhov manages to make her sympathetic to the reader somehow. One critic of the story writes, "Tolstoy [...] believed that Chekhov had meant to denigrate his Olga, the buxom, warm-hearted 'darling' who has no opinions except those which she borrows from the current man in her life and who, without some male to worship, withers and grows sluttish, but that he could not help bathing her in sympathy" (Calder 251). Olga is sympathetic for a number of reasons. First, she genuinely seems grieved when she loses her first two husbands."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the private security industry as a whole tends to benefit in times of social unrest and tension, such as during periods of concern about crime, or when other fears spur the public to seek ways to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim.This paper further discusses security lighting, emphasizing that one of the best approaches to security is to illuminate the vicinity in order to increase one's sense of security, drive away intruders, reduce the likelihood of accidents, and at the same time create a more pleasing look for a building, a yard, or a parking lot. Lighting is required for many types of security system. For some, the lights themselves are a deterrent and constitute the primary security element. In other cases, lighting serves a secondary purpose as well.

Abstract
This paper explores how the evolution of sculpture, from the architecturally-based Gothic period to the return to Antiquity and Roman art, and new ideas about light use and perspective in the Renaissance to the very Catholic and extravagant Baroque period, and the many interluding movements that finally brought sculpture to a more modern place in the 19th century with the works of Realism, shows both a desire to return to artistic roots and a need to grow beyond that which has already been created. It explains that each period had innovative techniques and original artistic ideas, which would influence all art that followed by creating a new standard that could be adhered to, added onto, or completely revolted against by the next generation of artists. It concludes that sculpture continues to reflect the movements of religion, architecture, painting, and science in every period of time.
From the Paper
"The human mind is only capable of sight by means of taking light through the eye and interpreting that within the brain. Although people did not fully understand the scientific properties of light until relatively recently, artists throughout time have had the particular challenge of creating an illusion of the existence of light within an art piece. Human sight has an incredible range, feeding the mind images of the surrounding world from near complete darkness to the brightest of sunlight conditions. It is through this range that the world becomes reality, and it is therefore the place of art to attempt to capture this range of light. However, traditional pigments have a very limited range, and therefore the artist must find ways to make the available colors combine to create an illusion that may be interpreted by the viewer as similar to reality. The lighting techniques of painters took a significant turn in the Early Renaissance period which moved their work much closer to nature in appearance through a change in lighting styles, and this continued to influence the art periods that followed."

Critique of "The Darling", 2002.
Looking at how Leo Tolstoy and Eudora Welty both offer criticism of Anton Chekhov's short story "The Darling".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the different way that Tolstoy and Welty analyzed Chekhov's story. It shows how Tolstoy finds that Chekhov wrote the story with his mind but not with his heart, which comes to assume that he knew how Chekhov felt when writing this story. Welty herself explains the story as if she were fishing, seeking deeper and deeper for meaning and for what the author intended.
From the Paper
"Tolstoy says that when Chekhov was writing this story, he had in mind a vague image of a new woman and of her equality with man. He says that Chekhov wanted to show what a woman should be by showing what she "ought not to be" (Tolstoy 1557). One problem with Tolstoy's criticism of Chekhov is that he really just disagrees with Chekhov about the role of women, but he makes it seem that Chekhov was not thinking with his heart or he would have come to a different conclusion. He shows what Chekhov said, and then he shows his own bias by stating what the truth is, that the ambitions of a woman must be different from those of a man because a woman's work is very different from the work of a man. Tolstoy says that Chekhov was laboring under the influence of an absurd idea offered by the "fashionable woman movement" of the time, the idea that women can aspire to the same roles as men."

" Aircraft Interior Lighting Systems
The primary goal of any aircraft interior lighting system is to provide the aviator with adequate visual performance. Present cockpit designs are currently undergoing rapid change. Various sophisticated technological systems are simultaneously attaining a state of maturation. Such advances as night vision goggles and the glass cockpit will require significant future innovation in cockpit lighting strategies.
There are two different dimensions to aircraft interior lighting. These comprise the micro and the macro aspects. Micro level concerns involve, for example, the following: individual lighting requirements, lighting design options, user technique, and lighting system evaluation. In contrast, the macro aspect relates to system design considerations. These may include.."

Abstract
This paper examines two distinct inventions: light bulbs and solar energy. First it discusses the incandescent light bulb and its inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, and explore the differences between incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs. Then the long history and increasing importance of solar power and its modern applications are discussed.
From the Paper
"On December 31st, 1879, after years of work and many experiments, Thomas Alva Edison gave the first demonstration of the incandescent light bulb at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. He was assisted in his invention by Francis Upton, a Princeton Graduate who supplied the mathematical and theoretical expertise that Edison lacked. This invention established Edison?s reputation as the world?s greatest inventor. Before his invention, electric arc lighting was used to produce light. In this lighting system, lights were connected in a series circuit, so if one failed, the rest of the bulbs on the circuit also failed. (First Public Demonstration?)
Edison was able to spend so much time and money on the invention of the light bulb because of his reputation as an inventor. He had the support of financiers such as J.P. Morgan and the Vanderbilts. They established the Edison Light Company and loaned Edison $30,000 for research and development. (First Public Demonstration?)"

"The use of color in ?Life is Beautiful? is integral in making the dramatic shift that takes place halfway through the film.

Abstract
The paper discusses the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, the greatest and most influential architect in the history of American art and design who gave us some of the most beautiful and dazzling structures. The author explains how he is remembered mainly for his residential houses as he was the first architect to change the design of American houses to make them suitable for modern living although he gained fame international fame with his design of Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
From the Paper
"American should be proud of those who have given it the reputation of being the country with most talented people. It should praise those who have added a new dimension to its art, literature and architecture. The reason being that a country is known by the people who belong to it and some of these people by the power of sheer genius can take their country to new heights of fame and pride. America boasts of numerous highly talented people in various fields, but it has only very few well-known personalities in the field of architecture and design. This is not because the country does not provide encouraging and conducive environment, but it is because of the nature of the work itself. Ceramics, Architecture and lighting may appear to be rigid fields, which allow introduction of new techniques, and style only rarely but it all depends on the magnitude of creative genius residing within the one who enters this area. Very few people in these fields art, design and ceramic work can bring dramatic changes to previous styles and design and introduce better techniques and give the country its own architectural identity. One such person was the American architect and artist, Frank Lloyd Wright."

Abstract
This paper discusses the gender roles of women in the films "Red River" and "My Darling Clementine". The paper describes the ways in which the films show some strengths that woman are capable of, but directors Ford and Hawks never really present these women in a serious manner. The paper suggests that the patriarchal domination of the male roles in these films always seem to make laughing stock out of women, as the few women with any kind of power are diminished.
From the Paper
"Film Studies: Understanding the Patriarchal Domination of Women in the Western Genre In this film study, the role of women within a patriarchal pioneering society is portrayed within the films My Darling Clementine (1946) and Red River (1948). By evaluating the historical background of the old west through cinema, women are often portrayed as submissive to the gun slinging and often more aggressive male roles in these films. By analyzing the way that the women characters are filmed in these westerns, one can realize how misogynistic the overall plot and character construction is presented through their actions and behaviors. In essence, the patriarchal construct of diminishing the power of women is evident within these two films. The role of many westerns in the 1940s reflect the growing family values that America chose to adopt in Hollywood after World War II."

The West in Film, 1996.
Compares films' depictions of West, values, gunfighting, 19th Cent. town life, directors' messages & styles. My Darling Clementine ( John Ford ) & High Noon ( Fred Zinnemann )

From the Paper
John Ford's My Darling Clementine (1946) includes historical characters and historical events, while Fred Zinnemann's High Noon (1952) is more a generic Western with an interesting slant on the history of the time in which the film was made. At heart, both films are about a clash between good and evil that ends with a gunfight in the street, with the forces of law against the representatives of disorder. While this may be a timeless battle repeated endlessly in films--not only Westerns, but certainly in the Western genre time and time again--how this battle is treated in the two films shows a very different view of the social order, of the role of the hero, and of the meaning of the battle itself. Ford takes a much more traditional view of his hero, Wyatt Earp, and he treats that character in the heroic mold even though the historical character and his brothers were not as admirable as..."
