  • Nyack Beach State Park
    Nyack Beach State park Hook Mountain State Park is perfect for a great day outside. Hook Mountain and Nyack Beach State Parks are located at the very end of North Broadway in Nyack , NY. The combined areas offer hiking and biking trails, fishing and picnicking along the Hudson River. The riverside path is about two miles long and is fairly level so it’s a relatively easy walk. The Hook Mountain trail continues for another four miles to the Haverstraw Beach State Park for a longer, more intensive hike. There’s plenty of wildlife that call this park home. Hawks nest in the cliffs and glide overhead. There are also fossils and dinosaur footprints in the rocks along the pathway. The views along the bike path are inspiring, not just of the river but the mountain side as well. With every season and every storm the landscape evolves. Rock slides along the cliffs create remarkable formations. Sometimes you can actually look up at the cliffs and pick out where a specific pile of boulders has fallen as if from a jigsaw puzzle. Some of these boulders seem to form familiar shapes of faces and animals, silent sentinels watching over the seasons, sunrises, the ebbs and flows of the tides and dual currants of the historic and mysterious Hudson River. There are many places along this path that make it special. Trails lead up the mountain and intersect and weave through the woods along the river, some continue to the upper level of the park and beyond, some just end abruptly.

  • The Korean Wave As a Localizing Process: Nation As a Global Actor in Cultural Production
    THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ju Oak Kim May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Patrick Murphy, Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Dal Yong Jin, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University © Copyright 2016 by Ju Oak Kim All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the production system. This research focused on how three agencies – the government, public broadcasting, and the culture industry – have negotiated their relationships in the process of globalization, and how the power dynamics of these three production sectors have been influenced by Korean society’s politics, economy, geography, and culture. The importance of the national media system was identified in the (re)production of the Korean Wave phenomenon by examining how public broadcasting-centered media ecology has control over the development of the popular music culture within Korean society. The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS)’s weekly show, Music Bank, was the subject of analysis regarding changes in the culture of media production in the phase of globalization. In-depth interviews with media professionals and consumers who became involved in the show production were conducted in order to grasp the patterns that Korean television has generated in the global expansion of local cultural practices.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.

  • 3. Affected Environment
    Draft Champlain Hudson Power Express EIS 3. Affected Environment This section provides a description of the existing environment within the proposed CHPE Project area. To facilitate discussion, this EIS divides the approximately 336-mile (541-km) proposed transmission line route into four segments: Lake Champlain Segment (Section 3.1), Overland Segment (Section 3.2), Hudson River Segment (Section 3.3), and New York City Metropolitan Area Segment (Section 3.4). This division is based on geographical and environmental similarities along the route, as described in Section 2.4.1. The Lake Champlain and Hudson River segments contain primarily aquatic corridors, the Overland Segment contains primarily terrestrial corridors, and the New York City Metropolitan Area Segment is a combination of aquatic and terrestrial corridors. The potential impacts associated with constructing and operating the proposed CHPE Project are discussed in Chapter 5 based on the environmental resource areas described in the following sections. Brief definitions of each resource area; laws, regulations, and guidelines potentially applicable to the resource; and existing conditions are discussed for each segment, as appropriate. A region of influence (ROI) for each resource area in which impacts would likely occur is also defined. The ROIs were determined based on regulatory requirements, where applicable, combined with the expected maximum area of measurable construction or operational impacts for that particular resource. 3.1 Lake Champlain Segment 3.1.1 Land Use 3.1.1.1 Background on the Resource Area This section describes existing land uses in the vicinity of the proposed CHPE Project route, and land use plans and policies applicable to the proposed CHPE Project area.

  • Section 13: Climate Planning & Resilience
    VILLAGE OF UPPER NYACK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN October 30, 2020 Section 13: Climate Planning & Resilience OVERVIEW Upper Nyack’s 1999 Comprehensive Plan included the following statement in the ‘Introduction’ section: ‘Future development must be planned with environmental impact in mind.’ Although it referenced the specific concern of runoff and erosion from the Village and the role this plays in the complex environment of the Hudson River, the statement is even more relevant today as an expression of broader environmental concerns. Section 13: Climate Planning & Resilience 13 - 1 Comprehensive Guidelines for a Sustainable Community VILLAGE OF UPPER NYACK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN October 30, 2020 The terms ‘Climate Planning and Resilience’ were not part of the general lexicon in 1999. But two decades later there is an increasing awareness and broad understanding that we are in a period of general climate change. Thus, planning for the anticipated impacts that such significant climate changes may bring has increasingly become an important element in a community’s planning for the future. CLIMATE PLANNING & RESILIENCE The primary focus of climate planning efforts is to identify the vulnerabilities that communities have with regards to the projected environmental consequences of climate change. Climate resilience can be defined as “the capacity for a socio-ecological system to: (1) absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and (2) adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations
