Binder
Get PDFBinder is a mobile application that aims to introduce readers to a book recommendation service that appeals to devoted and casual readers. The main goal of Binder is to enrich book selection and reading experience. This project was created in response to deficiencies in the mobile space for book suggestions, library management, and reading personalization. The tools we used to create the project include Visual Studio, .Net Maui Framework, C#, XAML, CSS, MongoDB, NoSQL, Git, GitHub, and Figma. The project’s selection of books were sourced from the Google Books repository. Binder aims to provide an intuitive interface that allows users to easily interact with the application. Binder has a few main features to facilitate its goal. It allows users to like/dislike books to store them in a reading list. In addition, it allows users to create and manage reading journals. Lastly, it allows users to tailor their recommendations based off genres they enjoy. The creation of user profiles allows users to interact with the various features and customize them to their personal interests. This project was proposed to ignite reader’s passion for discovering new books in a unique and interesting fashion. Through the application we want to facilitate users to find new books that they may not discover otherwise. It will cater to both avid and casual readers through an intuitive interface. Binder will ultimately provide a unique and engaging approach to finding new books
Women and Food in World War I Era Arkansas
Get PDFOn July 1st, 1917, in the midst of The Great War, Arkansas’s Governor Charles Brough appointed Ida Frauenthal as chairwoman to the state’s new Woman’s Committee of the Council of Defense for Arkansas. The report created by the Woman\u27s Committee allowed the committee to first: organize the results of the efforts of many civil groups and second: immortalize the women’s wartime efforts. Women’s war efforts in this era naturally focused on the home front. The need to conserve food, a national and local concern, occupied much of women’s wartime efforts. Fear mongering and propaganda used to push the food conservation efforts targeted the American housewife. As the acknowledged moral and economic authorities of the home, women were seen as in charge of the domestic thriftiness and became the foot soldiers for food conservation. This presentation draws from scholarship on the relationship between women, food conservation, and propaganda. I am pairing it with many newspaper articles from across Arkansas and the Woman’s Committee report. These primary sources show that manipulative language pushed the “need” for food conservation, which women took seriously. Their efforts were partly a response to the national call for action and partly from self motivation to take on this wartime effort

Rogers, Arkansas: The Impact of The Frisco
Get PDFThe second American railroad revolution transformed areas like Benton County, Arkansas, from rural farmland to urbanized cities. The railroad provided affordable transportation during the period called the New South. The railroad sparked the agricultural boom in Rogers, sending millions of apples and other agricultural goods to surrounding states. By 1900, Benton County had produced more apples than any other county in the country, elevating Rogers to one of the leading shipping hubs in Northwest Arkansas. The population increased by double-digit percentages, resetting the settlement dynamics of Benton County. In turn, the small town with a robust economy created a sensation that attracted white immigrants from all parts of the country. While most studies assume the railroad brought change to local communities, this thesis shows how the railroad was the main driving force behind Rogers\u27s transformation
