It is one of the three islands in the San Francisco Bay dedicated for . public recreational use and wildlife protection. Its unique features, particularly the native grasses, Native American sheilmounds and birdlife, would be of special interest even if found in a mainland setting. The island has great potential as a recreational and educational resource. Brooks Island is unique in additional ways, however, within the context of the Regional Park system. Brooks Island is not a "traditional" type of regional parkland. Along with its attributes are some extreme conditions which cause site development and operations to be difficult and expensive. Different standards must be applied, such as the cost/benefit ratio (for facilities construction and operations) which will be significantly higher per person and per group at Brooks Island than in any other existing regional park. Due to the difficult access, small size and policies established by this report, it is anticipated that park visitorship will be lower at Brooks Island and repeat visits will be less frequent than is typical of mainland parks. The challange of serving groups with special needs will require multiform solutions. The District is committed to working toward providing the maximum service. Due to the complex construction necessary and the high costs expected, complete development may take considerable time to accomplish. With both the unique features and the limitations in mind, one of the major goals of this Plan is to make the most of the recreational and educational potential of Brooks Island by providing a high quality of special parkland experience and by facilitating a variety of education and recreational opportunities. The emphasis of the Plan is to facilitate a unique primitive island experience without destroying the natural assets. Resource appreciation and interpretation will play significant roles in the park program and developed 6 facilities will be minimal. J Care must be taken to create a balance between public use and resource protection in order to ensure that the island resources 1 are not adversely affected by public use. Another major goal, indeed the primary goal, is to protect the valuable natural resources through sound planning, development, management and operational practices. Restrictions on development and public use will be used to ensure protection, as described below. Access is difficult and visitorship will be low, as mentioned previously. Development and operation of this island will be costly and complicated. Thus, a third goal of the Plan, is to develop, open, and operate the island on the most cost-effective basis possible. The LUDP endeavors to meet these goals with the following objectives outlined below. These are the basis of the development program which is expanded in the discussion on Land Use Zones and Access, and Parkland Visitor Capacity. (From Chpater 111. Land Use-Development Plan, B.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

Ethical teaching is, however, by no means lacking. A brief survey is sufficient to show that a large proportion of his extant writings is devoted to practical advice and exhortation. Frequently the main body of ethical teaching follows the section in which his theology is developed and explained. Sometimes, as in the epistle to the Romans, the transition seems to be abrupt and the connection obscure. Possibly it is for this reason that there has been, at times, a tendency either to emphasize the doctrine or the ethic to the exclusion of the other, or to give more or less equal weight to both, and thus to emphasize the disconnection between the two. Some ages have taken St. Paul's doctrine without his ethic. Our own seems to be more concerned with ethics than with theology, and the attempt is made to establish morality without a doctrinal basis.

  • Directory of California Ethnic Media, Which Lists Almost 300 News Outlets — Print, Broadcast, Digital — Across the State
    NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER Ethnic Media Services, founded in 2018 to sustain and build on the work of New America Media, is pleased to publish our Directory of California Ethnic Media, which lists almost 300 news outlets — print, broadcast, digital — across the state. We are grateful for the support of key partners including California Black Media, ImpreMedia, Hoopa Radio, and the Center for Community & Ethnic Media, in compiling this list. The Directory aims to expand access to the sector at a time when communicating with California’s diverse communities has become more urgent than ever amidst the rollout of the 2020 census, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic turmoil it has generated. This Directory is a work-in-progress — in today’s highly fluid media landscape, we will update the online information monthly. Thanks to support from the Complete Count Committee Office 2020 Census and several national funders, we were able to expand our research and discover ethnic media platforms we never knew existed: podcasts, radio stations, weeklies, online news sites serving newly settled immigrants and long-siloed ethnic groups. The takeaway from our daily interactions with the sector is that despite the collapse of the business model that has decimated all media, the ethnic news outlets are determined to survive to inform and advocate for their audiences. Some of those outlets have been in opera- tion for decades while others are much newer. Their resilience is inspiring. Their role in creating an inclusive communications infrastruc- ture for this state is indispensable. We look forward to replicating the California Directory with a national listing of our ethnic media partners later this year.

My NBA Mock Draft By: Brady Cole, grade 7 There is an NBA draft every year that introduces teenagers and some young adults get drafted to their dream job, playing basketball for millions of dollars a year. There is a draft lottery, so these teams know exactly which pick they get. Then, a week after, the players that declared to be drafted, there is an NBA combine. The NBA combine is where players measure height, weight, body fat, that stuff. Then they do drills and they go through those and then they have a 5 on 5 scrimmage.

    Online Fandom: Social Identity and Social Hierarchy of Hallyu Fans Atiqah Abd-Rahim Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, [email protected] ABSTRACT Hallyu fans are people who are dedicated to popular culture in South Korea, including music, drama and film. This study focuses on fans of Korean pop music, which is known as K-pop. Developments in digital communication technology have given rise to media such as forums, websites, video channels, and fan sites that are consumed by K-pop fans. Fans participate in multiple fandoms because these websites are easily accessed by public audiences. However, problems arise when fans start to compete, using their knowledge to help validate their existence and to help the perception of authentic identities within fan communities. This paper is based on virtual ethnographic fieldwork that identified fans’ constructions of their own identities and the building of a social hierarchy through various online practices. The research findings are based on four months of fieldwork with two online Hallyu fandoms; ELF (Ever Lasting Friends) and A.R.M.Y (Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth). The findings reveal that conflicts exist in certain fandoms which aid in defining fan identities and, at the same time, fans undertake positive socialising actions which contribute to the fandom itself. Interactions between fandoms also need to be recognised, since online fandoms can be seen as borderless. Keywords: Hallyu, online fandom, social identity, social hierarchy, virtual ethnography ISSN 2369-8721 | The JUE Volume 9 Issue 1, 2019 65 online communities, fandoms operate in a more complex structure than some groups of fans who have been associated with the pre- digital fandom were accustomed to.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Hyejin Jo Degree: Master of Arts Title: A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry Examining Committee: Chair: Daniel Ahadi Lecturer Dal Yong Jin Senior Supervisor Professor Martin Laba Supervisor Associate Professor Ju Oak Kim External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Psychology and Communication College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M International University Date Defended/Approved: July 12, 2019 ii Abstract Gender disparity is an emerging issue in contemporary South Korea.
