The American River is identified as a scenic resource in the City’s 2035 General Plan (City of Sacramento, 2015). In addition, the American River (Lower) was included as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in 1981. Rivers can be designated as Wild River Areas, Scenic River Areas, or Recreational River Areas. The portion of the American River near the project area is designated as a Recreational River Area. Areas so designated are defined as rivers or sections of rivers that are readily accessible by road or railroad, that may have some development along their shorelines, and that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past [16 USC 1273(a)(b)(3)]. Intervening land uses between the project site and the American River include major arterial roadways (Richards Boulevard, North 12th Street, and North 16th Street), large industrial and commercial buildings on multi-acre lots, and associated urban development such as streetlights and above-ground power lines. Due to the flat nature of the surrounding terrain, the intervening land uses, and the river’s adjoining levee, the river is not visible from the project site, nor is the project area visible from the river or its adjoining banks. Scenic Highways There are no designated State Scenic Highways in the vicinity of the project site. The nearest such highway is State Route (SR) 160, with the nearest designated portion lying approximately 9 miles to the south of the project site. Gateways to Downtown Historical gateways into the City of Sacramento have been largely obscured by the network of freeways that now dominate the landscape. The sole northern gateway along SR 160/North 12th Street is more intentional in its layout as an entry than typical freeway offramps and has the benefit of the American River as a gateway element. Upon crossing the river going southbound, SR 160 provides a view of the buildings in downtown Sacramento. At Richards Boulevard SR 160 becomes North 12th Street, and the view of the Central City becomes obstructed by intervening buildings and is no longer visible. The entry experience is compromised by the intervening industrial area and the railroad underpass near the northern boundary of the Central City. At the intersection of Richards Boulevard and North 12th Street, about 700 feet south of the American River crossing, the triangular Twin Rivers Community Housing Expansion Area is visible as a vacant lot adjacent to the light rail line. Billboards and other signage are also prominent along this portion of North 12th Street. Commercial and industrial buildings adjacent to the roadway are typically fronted by paved parking areas and parked vehicles, with minimal landscaping. A consistent architectural theme is not present along the North 12th Street corridor. Twin Rivers Transit-Oriented Development and Light Rail Station Project 3.1-6 ESA/140202.00 Initial Study/Environmental Assessment June 2017 3.0 Environmental Analysis 3.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 3.1.3 Applicable Policies and Regulations Wild and Scenic Rivers Act The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 USC 1271-1287) established a method for providing federal protection for certain free-flowing rivers, preserving them and their immediate environments for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. Eligible rivers can be designated as Wild River Areas, Scenic River Areas, or Recreational River Areas. The American River is designated as a Recreational River from the confluence with the Sacramento River to Nimbus Dam, located just east of the city. Recreational River Areas are “[t]hose rivers or sections of rivers that are readily accessible by road or railroad, that may have some development along their shorelines, and that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past.” The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, under Section 10, includes management direction for designated rivers, stating that “…primary emphasis shall be given to protecting its aesthetic, scenic, historic, archaeologic, and scientific features.” California Scenic Highway Program In 1963, the State legislature established the California Scenic Highway Program through Senate Bill 1467. This Senate Bill added Section 260 et seq. to the Streets and Highway Code. In these statutes, the State proclaims its intent to: “...establish the State’s responsibility for the protection and enhancement of California’s natural scenic beauty” (Caltrans 2008). A Scenic Corridor is defined as the area of land generally adjacent to, and visible from, the highway. It is usually limited by topography and/or jurisdictional boundaries. Local jurisdictions, with support of their citizens, must adopt programs to protect the scenic qualities of qualifying corridors, and zoning and land use along the highway must meet the State’s minimum requirements for scenic highway corridor protection. Actions required by Section 261 of the code include: • Regulation of land use and density of development, • Detailed land and site planning, • Control of outdoor advertising, • Careful attention to, and control of, earthmoving and landscaping, and • Regulation of the design and appearance of structures and equipment (i.e., placement of utility structures, microwave receptors, etc.). City of Sacramento 2035 General Plan The City of Sacramento adopted its 2035 General Plan on March 3, 2015. The General Plan includes redevelopment of the Twin Rivers Community Housing Complex and the construction of the proposed Dos Rios LRT Station in its long range plans. A summary of General Plan policies that are relevant to the proposed project is provided below. Twin Rivers Transit-Oriented Development and Light Rail Station Project 3.1-7 ESA/140202.00 Initial Study/Environmental Assessment June 2017 3.0 Environmental Analysis 3.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources River District Specific Plan The River District Specific Plan (RDSP) was adopted in 2011 and established planning and design standards for the redevelopment of approximately 773 acres of land (City of Sacramento, 2011). The RDSP area includes the entirety of the proposed project area under consideration in this IS/EA, and includes a number of elements that are directly applicable to the proposed project. Along with the RDSP are the associated River District Design Guidelines (City of Sacramento, 2016) that govern both Private Realm and Public Realm development within the RDSP area. Projects proposed in the area are subject to review by the Planning and Design Commission for consistency with the Design Guidelines. A summary of RDSP policies that are relevant to the proposed project is provided below. 3.1.4 Summary of Analysis under the 2035 General Plan Master EIR and River District Specific Plan EIR 2035 General Plan Master EIR The 2035 General Plan Master EIR (City of Sacramento, 2014) described the existing visual conditions in the City of Sacramento and the potential changes to those conditions that could result from development consistent with the 2035 General Plan. See Master EIR, Chapter 4.13, Visual Resources. The Master EIR identified potential impacts related to light and glare (Impact 4.13-1) and concluded that impacts would be less than significant. The Master EIR also determined that implementation of the General Plan could interfere with important existing scenic resources and degrade the view of those resources as seen from visually sensitive public locations (Impact 4.13-2). Those impacts were determined to be less than significant with implementation of the visual resources policies contained within the General Plan. The following General Plan policies are applicable to the proposed project. Policy LU 6.1.12: Compatibility with Adjoining Uses. The City shall ensure that the introduction of higher-density mixed-use development along major arterial corridors is compatible with adjacent land uses, particularly residential uses, by requiring such features as: • Buildings setback from rear or side yard property lines adjoining single-family residential uses; • Building heights stepped back from sensitive adjoining uses to maintain appropriate transitions in scale and to protect privacy and solar access; • Landscaped off-street parking areas, loading areas, and service areas screened from adjacent residential areas, to the degree feasible; and • Lighting shielded and directed downward to minimize impacts on adjacent residential uses. Policy ER 7.1.1: Protect Scenic Views. The City shall avoid or reduce substantial adverse effects of new development on views from public places to the Sacramento and American Rivers and adjacent greenways, landmarks, and the State Capitol along Capitol Mall.

  • ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCHES and STUDIES No 4, 2014 3 a Lithuanian “Ethnographic Village”: Heritage, Private Property
    ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCHES AND STUDIES No 4, 2014 A Lithuanian “Ethnographic Village”: Heritage, Private Property, Entitlement Kristina Jonutyte Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Address correspondence to: Kristina Jonutyte, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, PO Box 11 03 51, 06017 Halle (Saale) Germany. Ph.: +49 (0) 345 2927 0; Fax: +49 (0) 345 2927 502; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this article, various aspects of engagement with the past and with heritage are explored in the context of Grybija village in southern Lithuania. The village in question is a heritage site within an "ethnographic villages" programme, which was initiated by the Soviet state and continued by Independent Lithuania after 1990. The article thus looks at the ideological aspects of heritage as well as its practical implications to Grybija's inhabitants. Moreover, local ideas about private property, righteous ownership and entitlement are explored in their complexity and in relation to the heritage project. Since much of the preserved heritage in the village is private property, various restrictions and prohibitions are imposed on local residents, which are deemed as neither righteous nor effective by many locals. In the meantime, the discourse of the "ethnographic villages" project exotifies and distances the village and its inhabitants, constructing an "Other" that is both admired and alienated. Keywords: heritage site, private property, Lithuania. The fieldsite Grybija is a small village in the far South of Lithuania, Dzūkija region. There are around 50 permanent inhabitants and another dozen or so who stay for the summer, plus weekend visitors.1 The village is in the territory of Dzūkijos National Park which was established in order to protect the landscape as well as natural and cultural monuments of the region.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

    1 SCA PAPER 2009 TRIBAL GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) PROTOCOL, SOUTHERN SIERRA MIWUK NATION, YOSEMITE-MARIPOSA, CAILFORNIA, US Submitted by: Sandra Gaskell, RPA, Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation Tribal Consultant, ARC Archaeology Resources & Culture, Mariposa, CA; Kristina Roper, RPA, Sierra Valley Consulting, Three Rivers, CA; Anthony C. Brochini, Chairman, Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation, Yosemite, CA; Danette Johnson, Tribal GIS Analyst, Mariposa, CA ABSTRACT Indigenous names relating to Significant people and places along major tributaries emptying into the great San Joaquin River define culture boundaries. Compilation of data necessary for completing a Tribal GIS database used seven criteria listed by the BIA and implemented into theme layers. When GIS resource layers from other agencies are queried, patterns emerge to relate lineages of 11 culture resource routes through ceremonial villages, camps, and Treaty E and Treaty M boundaries to ethnographic village records. Tribal GIS protocols can be applied to datasets from other tribal cultures using a simple set of table guidelines for watershed nomenclature. INTRODUCTION Just before the culture changes had taken their toll upon the indigenous communities located at a major ford across the Merced River, Se-saw-che had been a central area for local cultures to come together. Resources that existed within a 20 mile radius consisted of salt manufacturing, salmon harvesting, seed fields in the meadows just above the cliffs, bulb and onion fields along the bottoms 2 called “yowoko” meaning “muddy or slow sluggish waters”, and other necessities. 1 This bustling place was used as a crossing by the Chimteya and the Awalache people, by Moraga, by the Gold Rush multinationals, and by the U.S.

You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock. You know, fire, combustibles, albums that bump eternally. Today we will be deep diving together into the cult classic 1971 album by Karen Dalton, In My Own Time. 00:00:24 Music Music “Take Me” off the album In My Own Time by Karen Dalton. Sad, slow music with crooning, raspy, vibrating vocals. Take me to your darkest room Close every window and lock every door [Music fades out as Morgan speaks.] 00:00:46 Morgan Host Turn to your neighbor and say, “I thank God I don’t look like what I’ve been through.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that over the years; and more than an acknowledgement of the virtue of melanin, it is meant to suggest that whatever else a close read of your backstory might reveal, pain doesn’t always show on your face. ‘Cause sometimes it shows up in your voice, as it did with Karen Dalton on her album for Paramount records, In My Own Time. Karen Dalton sounded like what she’d been through. Raspy world- weariness, longing and sadness, even on songs meant to be happy like Holland-Dozier’s “How Sweet It Is.” Karen Dalton did two things for sure on this album: uncovered pain on an album of covers, and spent those covers strumming her pain with her fingers, in blues, in folk, in gospel, and in rock.

It describes and analyses native lore and associated cultural values related to fish. In contrast to a number of researches on the other faunal taxa like mammals and birds, ethnoichthyological studies are still few. It is also the case for the study of fishing activities in tropical rainforest.

In his analysis, transracial identities generate uneasy resonances with not only the dark histories of racial passing, but also the contemporary realities of racial oppression. How the transgender experience opens up new possibilities for thinking about gender and race In the summer of , shortly after Caitlyn Jenner came out as transgender, the NAACP official and political activist Rachel Dolezal was "outed" by her parents as white, touching off a heated debate in the media about the fluidity of gender and race. Ja Du, a trans woman who was born Caucasian but now considers herself Filipina, created a Facebook page and community for others who self-identify as transracial. The use of the term to describe changing racial identity has been criticized by members of the transracial adoption community. Transgender identities have moved from the margins to the mainstream with dizzying speed, and ethnoracial boundaries have blurred. This is a timely, judicious, and tremendously thoughtful and learned investigation into present-day debates. Mail address P. Rogers Brubaker. The New York Times. By rethinking race and ethnicity through the multifaceted lens of the transgender experience—encompassing not just a movement from one category to another but positions between and beyond existing categories—Brubaker underscores the malleability, contingency, and arbitrariness of racial categories.

Members of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage (“DR”) seek to create an alternative model for a more just and sustainable world. They face twin challenges in seeking to expand that model through recruitment to their community and retaining the integrity of their unique lifestyle that makes it possible and enjoyable. DR utilizes processes of recruitment and retention to construct and defend a collective identity based in accommodating for personal and political concerns, one characterized specifically by the values of egalitarianism and environmentalism as focal points for their shared lifestyle. Yet they also erect barriers to keep out potential recruits who may compromise that identity.
