On March 2015, the City of Summit initiated a Feasibility Study on the vision of converting the abandoned Rahway Valley Railroad into a rail trail more commonly referred to as the Summit Parkline. The Study develops feasible and economical concepts for a 1.2-mile trail and linear park on the existing railroad right-of-way. The Summit Parkline is a unique opportunity for the City to create a recreational amenity that has potential to be a major local and regional attraction and character-giving symbol for the community.

The sustainability coordinator represents PSC on state and regional committees and the efforts have brought in funding and eliminated plastic bottles.
This thesis examines factors that explain success and failure of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) programs in Botswana and Zambia. Both countries adopted CBNRM in the 1980s with support from USAID, but Botswana has seen greater success. The thesis aims to understand why by comparing wildlife policies, community participation, ownership rights, benefit distribution, and conservation outcomes between the two cases. It reviews literature on CBNRM definitions, theories, and previous research. The methodology section outlines the comparative case study design and data collection/analysis procedures. Results chapters present historical contexts and current frameworks governing CBNRM implementation in each country. The discussion analyzes the results to identify factors responsible for the different levels of CB
Respiration in Organisms
- Respiration is defined as the transport of oxygen from the air into tissues and the transport of carbon dioxide out of tissues. All organisms use cellular respiration to extract energy from organic molecules.
- Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that convert nutrients into ATP and release waste through breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to fully oxidize nutrients and generate more ATP. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and is less efficient.
- Muscle cramps are uncontrollable, painful muscle spasms that can affect any muscle but most commonly the calf and foot muscles. Cramps may be caused by poor physical fitness, mineral imbalances,

Globalization is the system of international integration that often arises from the interchange of world products, views, ideas, and some aspects of culture
Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interchange of world views, products, and culture due to advances in transportation and telecommunications infrastructure like the telegraph and internet.
While globalization has increased opportunities for education, employment, and access to cheaper products, it has also led to the loss of local cultures and traditions as things become more standardized worldwide. Environmental degradation is another disadvantage as increased business activity relies on exploiting natural resources. Disparity also remains as economic improvements are not evenly distributed.
Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interchange of world views, products, and culture due to advances in transportation and telecommunications infrastructure like the telegraph and internet.
While globalization has increased educational and employment opportunities, allowing almost all people to get an education and jobs, it has also led to the loss of some local cultures and traditions. Globalization has generated both economic growth for some and health issues and environmental degradation for others.
