A plan is needed to guide decision-makers on how to manage this national historic site. This document presents four alternatives for how the national historic site should be managed — e.g., where should the visitor / administrative facility be located, what should visitors learn about the site, and how should visitors access the site? Each of these decisions has implications for how visitors access and use the national historic site and the facilities needed to support those uses, how the site’s resources are managed, and how the National Park Service manages its operations. This document examines four alternatives for managing the national historic site for the next 25 years.

    Running head: POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP Postfeminism and female friendship: A content analysis of Parks and Recreation and Girls by Ashley Beairsto A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Women and Gender Studies. September, 2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia © Ashley Beairsto, 2019 Approved: Dr. Marnina Gonick Supervisor Approved: Dr. Michele Byers Reader Approved: Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti External Date: September 20, 2019 POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP 2 Postfeminism and female friendship: A content analysis of Parks and Recreation and Girls by Ashley Beairsto Abstract This thesis explores how two popular TV shows, Girls and Parks and Recreation, portray and talk about female friendship, particularly as it relates to the notion of the postfeminist girlfriend as proposed by Alison Winch. Utilizing a combination of content analysis and critical discourse analysis, it explores how these shows draw on discourses of feminism and postfeminism. It finds that Girls more than Parks and Recreation relies on discourses of postfeminism and replicates behaviors of the postfeminist girlfriend. It finds that both shows struggle to address issues of class difference and are guilty of post-race sentiments. Finally, it finds that Parks and Rec, more than Girls, reiterates feminist sentiments. Parks gives an overall feminist sentiment, while Girls walks the line between feminism and postfeminism. September 20, 2019 POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP 3 Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis could not have been possible without the support and assistance of so many. To my supervisor, Dr. Marnina Gonick, for providing ongoing support.

  • Railfan Trips in Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to May 17, 2021 Posted to LHRy website May 20, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometiMes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to liMit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, aMuseMent park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following iteMs were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to iMprove their bottom line.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2014 THE INDEPENDENT DAILY NEWSPAPER FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 DAILYIOWAN.COM 50¢ Ceremony welcomes Schools fall short new Americans in report The Iowa City school district falls short of meeting proficiency standards created by No Child Left Behind. By ALEKSANDRA VUJICIC [email protected] The Iowa City School District was labeled as “in need of assistance,” along with 44 other Iowa districts, ac- cording to the 2014 State Report Card for No Child Left Behind. The results are based on student performance on standardized tests taken throughout the 2013-14 school year for the third through eighth grade, as well as the 11th grade. The federal law requires pub- lic schools to meet adequate yearly progress standards, which measures proficiency under federal law, for the overall school population and for de- mographic subgroups. These subgroups can include so- cioeconomic status, limited English proficiency, and special education, according to the state Department of Education. If a district does not meet the profi- ciency benchmark in math and read- ing for two-consecutive years, it is la- beled as “in need of assistance.” Participants in a citizenship ceremony in West Branch raise their hands as they take the oath of citizenship Wednesday. More than 70 people received their nationalized citizenship Wednesday. School Board President Chris Lynch (The Daily Iowan/Sergio Flores) said the target proficiency rate has changed over time, and this year it re- New citizens were naturalized at a ceremony at the Herbert Hoover quired 100 percent proficiency, which means every student must reach Presidential Library and Museum.
