  • Mla Style Guide for Bibliographical Citations
    American School of Valencia Library MLA STYLE GUIDE FOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CITATIONS Used primarily for: Liberal Arts and Humanities. Some general things to know: MLA calls the list of bibliographical citations at the end of a paper the “Works Cited” page, and not a bibliography. Also, like APA, MLA style does not use bibliographical footnotes, favoring instead in-text citations. Footnotes and endnotes are only used for the purposes of authorial commentary. For full entries, titles of books are italicized*, and in-text citations tend to be as brief as possible. See some common examples below. If you don’t see an example that fits the kind of source you have, consult an MLA style guide in the Library, or ask the Librarian. Every line after the first is indented in the full citation. And remember, pay close attention to the examples. Punctuation is very important. * (This reflects a change made in 2009. All information provided in this document is based on the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, available in the Library) For all examples below, the information following “Works Cited:” is what goes into your Works Cited page. The information following “In-Text:” is what goes at the end of your sentence that includes a citation. A BOOK: Author’s last name, First name. Title of the book. City: Publisher, year. Medium (Print). (Example) Works Cited: Smith, John G. When citation is almost too much fun. Trenton: Nice People Publications, 2007. Print. In-Text: (Smith 13) or (13) *if it’s obvious in the sentence’s context that you’re talking about Smith+ or (Smith, Citation 9-13) [to differentiate from another book written by the same Smith in your Works Cited] [If a book has more than one author, invert the names of the first author, but keep the remaining author names as they are.

  • (Nhris) and Regional Human Rights Institutions
    HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AS MEDIUM: NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (NHRIS) AND REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (RHRIS) IN ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS CONTEXT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of the Science of Law by Buhm Suk Baek August 2011 © 2011 Buhm Suk Baek HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AS MEDIUM: NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (NHRIS) AND REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (RHRIS) IN ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS CONTEXT Buhm Suk Baek, J.S.D. Cornell University 2011 The purpose of my dissertation is to examine whether and how national human rights institutions (NHRIs) can be a driving force for the establishment of regional human rights institutions (RHRIs) in the Asia-Pacific region, which remains the only region without such institutions in contrast to Europe, the Americas, and Africa. I first explore the issue of whether RHRIs are desirable in this region, and argue that such a system is desirable. Then I examine the reasons why RHRIs have not emerged in this region. I located these reasons in part by examining the reception of human rights in Asia and issues like the emergence of international human rights law from the Western cultural heritage, and the problematic question of what the Asian way of human rights means. The analysis of the obstacles that have hampered the creation of RHRIs leads me to focus on NHRIs. By reviewing the role that NHRIs can play in addressing the concerns and inhibitions of Asian states, while furthering the aims of international human rights law, I maintain that the way in which NHRIs collaborate demonstrates that they can be eminent actors toward the establishment of RHRIs.

    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders
    To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders We closed the pool on November 17 as California slipped into the red and then the purple tier designations for COVID spread. These tiers mandated that indoor pools be closed for public use. Humboldt County progressed to the orange tier on April 6th which finally allows facilities such as ours to reopen! The approved Operational Plan has allowed the pool to reopen, but it also has a number of restrictions in place to promote a safe environment for customers and staff. Limited numbers of people in the facility, restrictions on group use, enhanced cleaning procedures are all examples of these restrictions. Aspects of these social distancing measures, additional operational costs and the nearly five‐month closure has created significant operational and financial challenges for the pool. For Season Pass holders we welcome you back to the pool and would like to inform you on how we are going to work with annual passes going forward. For 2020 Passes: 1. We will calculate a credit or a refund, based on you time lost during the most recent closure. This amount will include all days starting on the closure date in November up to the date the pass would have expired in 2021 2. You have three options for this amount. a. We can issue you a credit towards a new 2021 pass. b. A refund can be issued. Once requested a check will be sent to your physical address. This will take up to three weeks to process. c. You can donate this amount if you would like to help the pool through this unprecedented financial challenge.
