BIBLIOGRAPHY ...................................................................................................... 347 ABSTRACT The idea of 'community' is an all pervasive and persuasive notion within society. But it is an elastic concept used by diverse groups and institutions to rally people to a cause or to reassure the public in times of (perceived) calamity. Of late the various forms of the media and certain elements of society have been focussing their attention on the 'breakdown of community' values citing the (perceived) rise in crime, the (supposed) fragmentation of the family and the (hypothetical) loss of respect for authority and authority figures as contributing to an ailing communal sensibility. However, as Anderson (1983) has argued in his discussion on the rise of nationalism, the 'community' is always an imagined entity. This study investigates this concept of the imagined community and looks at how this notion is manifested (and sold to the public) in

AARP research data shows that walking is the preferred type of activity by far – 74% of members who are active say that walking is their most regular type of exercise. As simple as it is, walking briskly 30 minutes a day, five or more days a week can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis and some cancers. Walking: • Promotes physical activity Studies have shown that people who are physically active, live longer and feel better. It’s never too late to start being active. Walking is a great way to get moving. • Boosts brain power Walking improves your ability to make decisions, solve problems, and focus.

  • 36 Kansas History DRUNK DRIVING OR DRY RUN?
    A Christmas Carol, which appears in Done in the Open: Drawings by Frederick Remington (1902), offers a stereotypical image of the ubiquitous western saloon like those frequented by cowboys at the end of the long drive. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2007): 36–51 36 Kansas History DRUNK DRIVING OR DRY RUN? Cowboys and Alcohol on the Cattle Trail by Raymond B. Wrabley Jr. he cattle drive is a central fi xture in the popular mythology of the American West. It has been immortalized—and romanticized—in the fi lms, songs, and literature of our popular culture. It embodies some of the enduring elements of the western story—hard (and dan- gerous) work and play; independence; rugged individualism; cour- Tage; confl ict; loyalty; adversity; cowboys; Indians; horse thieves; cattle rustlers; frontier justice; and the vastness, beauty, and unpredictable bounty and harsh- ness of nature. The trail hand, or cowboy, stands at the interstices of myth and history and has been the subject of immense interest for cultural mythmakers and scholars alike. The cowboy of popular culture is many characters—the loner and the loyal friend; the wide-eyed young boy and the wise, experienced boss; the gentleman and the lout. He is especially the life of the cowtown—the drinker, fi ghter, gambler, and womanizer. Raymond B. Wrabley Jr. received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University and is associate professor of political science at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The author would like to thank Sara Herr of Pitt-Johnstown’s Owen Library for her efforts in tracking down hard-to-fi nd sources and Richard Slatta for his helpful comments on a draft of the article.

  • Walking and Cycling Interactions on Shared-Use Paths
    Walking and Cycling Interactions on Shared-Use Paths Hannah Delaney A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of Environment and Technology, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK February 2016 Abstract Central to this research are the interactions that take place between cyclists and pedestrians on shared-use paths and the impact of these on journey experiences. This research proposes that as active travel is promoted and as walking and cycling targets are set in the UK, there is a potential for levels of active travel to increase; putting pressure on shared-use paths, and potentially degrading journey experiences. Previous research on shared-use paths focuses on the observable aspects of shared path relations, such as visible collisions and conflict. However, this thesis suggests that it is necessary to investigate shared-path interactions in more depth, not only focusing on the visible signs of conflict but also examining the non-visible experiential interactions. Thus, this research addresses the following questions: - What are the different kinds of interactions that occur on shared-use paths? - How do path users experience and share the path? - What are the respondents’ expectations and attitudes towards the path? - What are the practice and policy options in relation to enhancing shared-path experiences? - Are video recordings a useful aid to in-depth interviews? The Bristol-Bath railway path (Bristol, UK) was chosen as a case study site and a two phased data collection strategy was implemented. Phase I included on-site intercept surveys with cyclists and pedestrians along the path.

    Geo-reis: Canada/USA 2014 Geo-reizen: Canada/USA augustus/september 2014. De onderstaande informatie is afkomstig van: www.georeizen.nl Een reis door het hooggebergte, de gletsjers van nu en glaciale verschijnselen uit de laatste ijstijd. Maar ook dinosauriers, Burgess Shales en spuitende geysirs. Sinds de stabilisering van het Canadese schild was het westelijk gedeelte van Noord Amerika het toneel van voortdurende gebergtevorming. Als gevolg van de platentektoniek botste het miljarden jaren oude schild tegen de jongere sedimenten ten westen daarvan. Dit zorgde voor een gevarieerd landschap: golvende prairies en een ruig gebergte ten westen daarvan. Overweldigend natuurschoon; de aanwezigheid van vele nationale parken, zowel in de VS als in Canada, zegt genoeg. We bezoeken onder andere: Yellowstone, Glacier/Waterton en Banff/Jasper met de Icefields Parkway. De excursie voert van Jasper in de Canadese Rockies naar Billings bij het Yellowstone Park in de Verenigde Staten. Geologisch zeer interessant met als hoogtepunten: •De “hot spot” Yellowstone in Wyoming met zijn geysers en sinterterrassen en andere geologische hoogtepunten •Banff-Jasper National Park op de grens van Alberta en Brits Columbia met de Columbia Icefields •De Front Ranges met hun talloze overschuivingen en enorme opeenstapeling van sedimenten •De Burgess Shale fauna uit het Cambrium. We gaan hier echter niet naar de oorspronkelijke Wallcott quarry waar weinig meer te vinden is en het strikt verboden is zelf te exploreren, maar we bestuderen voorkomens verder naar het zuiden waar we zelf nog wel mogen zoeken •Een uitstapje naar de badlands van Alberta en de dinosaurussen van het Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller •Het Waterton/Glacier National Park op de grens tussen Montana, Alberta en Brits Columbia •Adembenemende bergwandelingen door 2 miljard jaar gesteentegeschiedenis in de omgeving van Bozeman, Montana.

BCRPA is seeking best practice information on walking programs in order to develop a provincially relevant template or guide for communities as a resource for implementing walking programs. An international research review of best practices in walking programs in communities was conducted to describe and define: Elements of success in walking programs, groups, and/or clubs; Steps for implementation and sustainability; Challenges and lessons learned; Consideration for environmental factors such as demographics and climate; Common indicators for evaluation purposes (data parameters and collection); Case studies as examples of best practices. Notions of “best (or “better”) practice” are essentially concepts that refer to optimal ways of doing something and can refer to individual, community or organizational functions, practices or processes.
