May 7 – August 14, 2016 Welcome Instructions May 7 – August 14, 2016 Welcome Instructions Dear Families, Summer is a time for fun and exploration. It’s also important to practice your reading skills. Children who read during the summer increase their reading abilities and are ready to start the next school year, while children who do not read can hit a summer slide and need to work extra hard to catch up when school starts. San Francisco Public Library plays an important role in the summer when schools are closed and young people need safe spaces and learning activities. The library’s Summer Stride: Read. Create. Explore program encourages students to track their reading time and to stop by their neighborhood library for books, comics, ebooks, audiobooks, and more. Every book on the San Francisco Unified School District Summer Recommended Reading List can be found at the San Francisco Public Library! And while you’re visiting your neighborhood library, stay for one of more than 500 learning and exploration programs for the whole family, like LEGO robotics, engineering, magic, crafts, shuttles to our local national parks, summer films, and more.

  • Presidio Trust Management Plan: Land Use Policies for Area B of the Presidio of San Francisco (PTMP, Or Plan)
    Preface AN AERIAL VIEW OF FORT SCOTT, CAPTURED IN 2001 In 1972, in recognition of its spectacular setting, important historical resources, and rich ecological and scenic attributes, Congress decreed that if the U.S. Army no longer needed the Presidio of San Francisco, it would become part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), the country’s largest national park in an urban area. In 1989, the U.S. Army announced that the oldest continuously operating military post in the country would be closed, and so the Presidio became a park for the American people. The very characteristics that distinguish the Presidio - its many historic buildings, cultural landscapes, and urban location - also make it expensive to preserve and operate. In 1996, in recognition of the Presidio’s singular character and of the challenges and expense attending its preservation, Congress took a further step and established the Presidio Trust. Congress reasoned that “an innovative public/private partnership that minimizes cost to the United States Treasury” was necessary to 1 oversee the Presidio as a distinct part of the GGNRA. 1 The 1,491-acre Presidio of San Francisco is at the center of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), which was created by Congress in 1972. The GGNRA legislation ensured that if the military deemed the Presidio excess to its needs, jurisdiction would be transferred to the National Park Service (NPS). In 1989, the Presidio was designated for closure and in 1994, the U.S. Army transferred the Presidio to the NPS. In 1996, the Presidio Trust Act (see Appendix A) gave jurisdiction of the 1,168-acre inland area of the Presidio known as Area B to the Presidio Trust; the NPS continues to manage the shoreline, or Area A.

  • Te Oro O Te Ao the Resounding of the World
    Te Oro o te Ao The Resounding of the World Rachel Mary Shearer 2018 An exegesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art and Design 1 2 ABSTRACT criteria of ihi—in this context, the intrinsic power of an event that draws a re- sponse from an audience, along with wehi—the reaction from an audience to this intrinsic power, and wana—the aura that occurs during a performance that encompasses both performer and audience, contribute to a series of sound events that aim at evocation or affect rather than interpretable narratives, stories or closed meanings. The final outcome of this research is realised as a sound installation, an exegesis and a 12” vinyl LP. Together these sound practices form a research-led practice document that demonstrates how and why listening to the earth matters, and pro- poses a multi-knowledge framework for understanding sound, space and environ- ment. Nō reira And so Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all This practice-led PhD is a situated Pacific response to international critical dia- logues around materiality in the production and analysis of sonic arts. At the core of this project is the problem of what happens when questions asked in contexts of Pākehā knowledge frameworks are also asked within Māori knowledge frameworks. I trace personal genealogical links to Te Aitanga ā Māhaki, Rongowhakaata and Ngāti Kahungunu iwi.
