BACKGROUND The Civic Improvement Commission is a seven-member advisory body to the City Council that serves to identify community needs and provide channels for the expression of those needs within the areas of: health and welfare services, beautification, environment, library services, cultural and historical needs, and issues related to youth and senior citizens. Additionally, the CIC is appointed to promote community interaction in all phases of civic needs as the City grows and changes in its new environment. Due to the limited capacity to meet and hold events during the pandemic, the CIC adopted an 18-month workplan (July 2020 – December 2021) which was also presented to the City Council in April 2021. This work plan identifies the organization of the “Explore Art” Subcommittee to identify and promote public art projects in the City of Campbell. DISCUSSION The Explore Art Subcommittee has been scoping its projects for several months and would like to present its work to the City Council for review and feedback. The presentation will feature projects focusing on Murals, Neighborhood Identification (Gateway) Signs, Sidewalk Chalk Art, and Solidarity Art Panels. The Explore Art Subcommittee members are: Chair William Kaufman, Vice Chair Davis Fields, and Commissioner Maryanne Yoshikawa who will join the meeting virtually to provide a brief visual presentation and they look forward to receiving City Council comments.

  • Bloomsburg Investment Group
    Bloomsburg Investment Group Equity Analysis The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Analyst: Gerrick Hardy, Class of 2021 Trevor Luzi, Mackenzie Gross, Class of 2022 Bloomsburg Investment Group Opinion: After our group's thorough analysis, we believe it is in the best interest of the group if our holding in Procter & Gamble (PG) is partially liquidated. Although our group remains bullish about the company, we think taking some profits from PG's recent run-up and allocating funds elsewhere in the sector would be most beneficial. While the company has provided strong organic growth in each of the two previous quarters, a number of headwinds remain in the way which will likely restrict future growth. A stronger U.S. Dollar has essentially offset the organic revenue growth, and the rise in transportation costs and commodity prices has and will likely continue to squeeze the margins of PG. With consumer tastes trending towards less expensive generic brands, customers may not respond favorably to recent price increases of some of Procter & Gamble’s largest brands. Our sector believes PG is currently trading at a premium that will not be satisfied with future growth. Despite all of this, we are still bullish because of the high dividend yield that the company has increased for 62 consecutive years, wide array of brand offerings, and brand loyalty and recognition, among other factors. Considering cross-current risks that exist in the macroeconomic environment and the potential of an upcoming recession or economic downturn, Procter & Gamble will continue to provide stable growth and hedge our portfolio. Corporate Summary: Corporate Details: Name Procter & Gamble Co The Procter & Gamble Company, founded in 1837, is Ticker PG a global manufacturer and distributor of household Domicile United States goods.

Cook, Chair Professor Philip J. Deloria Professor Susan J. Douglass Professor Penny Von Eschen © Laura A. Hymson 2011 Acknowledgements I owe an extraordinary debt to the people and institutions that helped and supported me as I worked to complete this dissertation. While working on this project, I spent time in several cities, including: Ann Arbor, New York, Atlanta, Urbana- Champagne, Alexandria, Washington, D.C, Newark, and Hartford. In all of these places where I have lived, researched, or taught, I have been shown incredible kindness and I am grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way. Thanks first to the chair of my dissertation committee, Jay Cook, who has been exceptionally generous with his time. Without his insightful feedback, invaluable advice, and thoughtful comments this dissertation would not have been possible. I can only hope to be as effective and compassionate as a teacher and mentor as he has been to me. My entire dissertation committee was composed of scholars whose work I truly admire and I am grateful for the time they devoted to my ideas and my work. Penny Von Eschen and Phil Deloria provided important feedback on drafts, and made suggestions for research and writing that helped advance my thinking on a number key issues at the heart of this project.

  • A CRITICAL STUDY of HABIMA PLAYS AS Sam Levy a Dissertation
    $do. 11? A CRITICAL STUDY OF HABIMA PLAYS AS AN EXPRESSION OF ISRAELI NATIONALISM FROM 1948 TO 1968 Sam Levy A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1972 Approved by Doctoral Committee B © 1972 Samuel Levy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED II , ABSTRACT Hebrew plays produced by Habima between 1948 and 1968 were examined to determine the extent to which they gave expression to Israeli nationalism. Twenty-five scripts, comprising the complete Hebrew repertory of Habima within the twenty years scope of the study, were evaluated by means of descriptive analysis. Theme, setting, plot, and language were examined, and related professional critiques were reported. A survey of Habima*s origins as a Soviet State Theatre (1918-26) indicated the thread of continuity linking Zionist aims of the past with those of the present in Israel: a national home and a national language. Eight dominating themes were discovered in the twenty-five plays: (1) Abandon­ ment of the kibbutz and couhtry are national disasters. (2) Unity is strength, (3) Collective life is superior to city life. (4) Conser­ vative fathers against liberal sons. (5) Isolation is hazardous to the state. (6) Duty is of higher priority than personal freedom or comfort. (7) Free press is destructive to the state. (8) Coming of the Messiah necessitates the destruction of Jewish history. Designated as the Israeli National Theatre by the state in 1958, Habima is comparable to some national theatres end is unlike others. Habima responded to the needs of the Israelis by developing Hebrew as a theatrical language, producing the best of world drama, mirroring the national reality as it is and as it could be, but at the same time never becoming a tool of the government.

    8 Commodores’ Bulletin © Seven Seas Cruising Association, Inc. 2008 All Rights Reserved August 2008 Cruising Station Update: Punta del Este and Montevideo, Uruguay Uruguay, nestled between Argentina and Brazil, is one of the best kept secrets in South America and our newest Cruising Station Host, Alberto Garcia Scheitler, a lifelong sailor can help you get the most out of your visit there. He is the Cruising Station Host for both Punta del Este and Montevideo. Alberto says that he’s always sailed. As a child, he sailed with his father on the Rio de la Plata, but as he grew older, his taste for adventure grew as well. He’s managed four transatlantic passages, the most recent in his Tayana 42, Faial, which currently lies moored at the Yacht Club Punta del Este (YCPE) of which he is a member. With his wife, Gabriela, and their family, they sail locally whenever they have the opportunity and last year they spent a month in the Exumas, Bahamas, but longer passages are what Alberto loves. With sparkling blue eyes, he recounts the story of having a dream of sailing to the Azores and drinking some beers at the legendary Peter Café Sport in Horta. Realizing the dream this past year was thrilling for him. He even wears a tee shirt sporting Faial’s name and the route they traveled. Punta del Este is a resort area, jumping in the austral summer (December through March) and laid back in the off season. Moorings are available through the DNH (Direccion Nacional de Hidrografia) and anchoring is also allowed.
