"Looking Back at the Seminole Trail" offered Seminoles a look into their distinguished past. From July 7 through 11, Children and adults learned about the brave warriors who refused to relin- quish their land, their homes, and their way of life. The Seminoles fought back against the U.S. Army and never signed a treaty, which is why the Seminoles are known as "The Unconquered." On Tuesday July 8, Chairman Mitchell Cypress, President Moses B.

  • The Influence of Identity on Travel Behaviour
    The Influence of Identity on Travel Behaviour Jennifer Carole Brooks Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Town and Regional Planning University of Sheffield February 2011 Abstract This thesis uses qualitative methodology to explore the role of identity shaping travel behaviour at an individual level, with a particular interest in the role of environmental values given their significance within environmental behaviour change policy. Awareness raising and „smarter choices‟ are increasingly being considered as positive ways to reduce individual reliance on motorised transport through promoting value change and information about transport options. However, there is now widespread acknowledgement that environmental values are not a sufficient motive for pro-environmental behaviour – the so called „value action gap‟. Research around the value action gap has increasingly moved towards a marketing approach of segmenting the population into a series of groups with defined characteristics who are assumed to behave in similar ways. This research applies a social psychological perspective based on Harré‟s (2001) „standard model‟ of identity to answer the question: „what is the role of identity in shaping travel behaviour?‟ The relationships between aspects of identity are explored through three themes drawn from the research: environmental values; the significance of place; and relationships with other people. In order to promote a participant-directed approach, photo elicitation methods were used with twelve participants, which then established the basis for subsequent in-depth interviews with each participant. The research establishes that identity forms an overarching framework within which decisions around travel behaviour takes place. This framework of identity includes attitudes, values, experiences, skills, and relationships with other people.

  • Feminism Discussion Around Death of Hugh Hefner
    Feminism Discussion on Twitter after Death of Hugh Hefner Claudia Alessandra Libbi 4th Year Project Report Cognitive Science School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2019 3 Abstract Hugh Hefner - owner of the Playboy magazine and mansion - died in September 2017. His death drew a lot of media attention, since his lifestyle, values, legacy and role in society were highly controversial. While some saw him as a feminist and pioneer of female liberation, others believe that he contributed to the objectification of women by selling them as products. As a popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter provides a way to gain direct feedback from society and allows an estimation of the public response to events. This project provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data collection streamed from Twitter in the 10 days after his death. After filtering, the set contained about 460K Tweets related to Hugh Hefner. Using sampling and annotation techniques to get stance labels, it was possible to estimate that the majority of tweets, as well as users in the set had negative stances towards Hefner. The analysis also includes pop- ular topics discussed in relation to his lifestyle and death. The focus of this analysis lays on the opinion of feminist accounts and the main topics distinguishing Tweets supporting Hugh Hefner from those who criticize him. 4 Acknowledgements Instead of thanking anyone but myself for manually annotating approximately 3000 tweets in various languages (#oof my mistake), I want to share something more fun: When I was looking for readings and I came across Jon Ronson’s book ”So you’ve been publicly shamed” (which then someone recommended to me again, later) and felt that it was relevant to this research, so I borrowed it from the library and carried it around for any potential ’breaks’ I might want to spend reading for ’fun’.

Disney.com/Terabithia BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA PRODUCTION NOTES “Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.” PRODUCTION NOTES —Leslie Deep in the woods, far beyond the road, across a stream, lies a secret world only two people on Earth know about—a world brimming with fantastical creatures, glittering palaces and magical forests. This is Terabithia, where two young friends will discover how to rule their own kingdom, fight the forces of darkness and change their lives forever through the power of the imagination. From Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the producers of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and based on one of the most beloved novels of all time, comes an adventurous and moving tale that explores the wonders of friendship, family and fantasy: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. The story begins with Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON), a young outsider on a quest to become the fastest kid in his school. But when the new girl in town, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB), leaves Jess and everyone else in her dust, Jess’s frustration with her ultimately leads to them becoming fast friends. At first, it seems Jess and Leslie couldn’t be more different—she’s rich, he’s poor, she’s from the city, he’s from the country—but when Leslie begins to open up the world of imagination to Jess, they find they have something amazing to share: the kingdom of Terabithia, a realm of giants, ogres and other enchanted beings that can only be accessed by boldly swinging across a stream in the woods on a strand of rope.
