Firing range vote eyed by Iowa City council
Iowa City officials plan a Tuesday vote on approving a 4% acre firing range at a reclaimed landfill west of Iowa City for Johnson County law enforcement training. The plan includes a 25 and 50 yard firing line with berms, supervised sessions, and a $230,000 soil excavation project to shape berms. Residents fear noise and property implications despite staff support and police assurances of minimal nuisance.

Origins and impact of gender targeted magazines in America
The Ladies Home Journal rose in the 1880s to define female targeted publishing, driven by advertisers seeking to reach middle class women. The Saturday Evening Post followed to reach men, but required broader appeal and ad support. The pair illustrates how advertising shaped gendered magazines and reinforced domestic female roles while male titles lagged until broadening content. Critics warn this cycle sustains stereotypes and pressures for gendered ads, urging shifts toward independent or less gendered advertising to foster change.
