Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898
Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898
Edwin G. Burrows, Mike Wallace
Language: English
Pages: 1424
Format: PDF / Kindle (mobi) / ePub
To European explorers, it was Eden, a paradise of waist-high grasses, towering stands of walnut, maple, chestnut, and oak, and forests that teemed with bears, wolves, raccoons, beavers, otters, and foxes. Today, it is the site of Broadway and Wall Street, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, and the home of millions of people, who have come from every corner of the nation and the globe.
In Gotham, Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace have produced a monumental work of history, one that ranges from the Indian tribes that settled in and around the island of Manna-hata, to the consolidation of the five boroughs into Greater New York in 1898. It is an epic narrative, a story as vast and as varied as the city it chronicles, and it underscores that the history of New York is the story of our nation. Readers will relive the tumultuous early years of New Amsterdam under the Dutch West India Company, Peter Stuyvesant's despotic regime, Indian wars, slave resistance and revolt, the Revolutionary War and the defeat of Washington's army on Brooklyn Heights, the destructive seven years of British occupation, New York as the nation's first capital, the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, the Erie Canal and the coming of the railroads, the growth of the city as a port and financial center, the infamous draft riots of the Civil War, the great flood of immigrants, the rise of mass entertainment such as vaudeville and Coney Island, the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and the birth of the skyscraper. Here too is a cast of thousands--the rebel Jacob Leisler and the reformer Joanna Bethune; Clement Moore, who saved Greenwich Village from the city's street-grid plan; Herman Melville, who painted disillusioned portraits of city life; and Walt Whitman, who happily celebrated that same life. We meet the rebel Jacob Leisler and the reformer Joanna Bethune; Boss Tweed and his nemesis, cartoonist Thomas Nast; Emma Goldman and Nellie Bly; Jacob Riis and Horace Greeley; police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt; Colonel Waring and his "white angels" (who revolutionized the sanitation department); millionaires John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, August Belmont, and William Randolph Hearst; and hundreds more who left their mark on this great city.
The events and people who crowd these pages guarantee that this is no mere local history. It is in fact a portrait of the heart and soul of America, and a book that will mesmerize everyone interested in the peaks and valleys of American life as found in the greatest city on earth. Gotham is a dazzling read, a fast-paced, brilliant narrative that carries the reader along as it threads hundreds of stories into one great blockbuster of a book.

Greek Revival architecture, as it came to be known, seemed particularly well suited to the United States. Its basic elements—massive fluted columns, triangular pediments, heavy cornices—created a highly satisfying sense of kinship with the Athenian citystate famed as the birthplace of Western democracy.

The New Store was of cast iron (produced at the Hudson shoreline by the Cornell Iron Works). Painted white, the building rose five stories around a great rotunda. Its graceful molded arches in the Venetian manner—Stewart compared them to "puffs of white clouds"—also permitted rows upon rows of windows, and the building featured two thousand panes of French

Drew, Fisk, and Gould, one jump ahead of the law, gathered together the company records, baled up over seven million dollars' worth of greenbacks, and literally decamped with the corporation, fleeing by ferry through the fog to Jersey City.

By 1720 or so half the ships entering or leaving the port were on their way to or from the Caribbean; another one-quarter to one-third were on their way to or from other North American colonies, moving goods often as not destined for reexport to the Caribbean. Outward bound, New Yorkers hauled the flour, corn, pork, beef, and naval stores

Most Hilarious Baby Photos EVER & Twinpossible Family Update :(
Most Hilarious Baby Photos EVER & Twinpossible Family Update 🙁
My beautiful miracles are now 7 years, 3 months, 3 weeks & 5 days old.
Hi guys. Very sorry it's been so long when I used to post almost daily, if not daily. I have been working super hard on my You Tube channel, trying to fight to make end's meet while my husband still awaits his well-deserved disability for the past 3.5 years. He did have his hearing about 7 months ago, and was told it could take 4-6 weeks, which I thought was crazy, but HA on us, it's been 7 MONTHS and not a peep. Apparently, the government doesn't care if you become homeless, starving, lead a miserable life, suffering monetarily and needing to give up your dreams. It is the saddest thing I have ever personally seen. It is something I wish would happen to them, so they could feel what it is like to suffer like this.
There's only so much I can do on my end and my girls are gymnasts, and it's an expensive sport (thank GOD at least we have a paid for house, but it is not MY HOME, it's hub's mom's house, and quite frankly, I want something of my own at this age and to live alone with my family, not with his mother and brother, and it's been 12 years!! That makes me feel 16, and is beyond frustrating and hard to deal with at my age. I had more at 19 years old after coming out of being homeless and pregnant.) Sorry to rant, it's one of those days. The wheels of justice have better start moving quickly, and then we can get the heck out of the state of NY and lead a halfway normal life.
I'm almost 42 and was hoping by now we'd have money to start trying for one last baby so I would feel inwardly complete, but I won't do it without being more financially stable, as You Tube is highly irregular and certainly not paying the bills right now. It's very disheartening. I never worked so much for so little lately. You Tube has been a cruel joke monetarily lately. This past month I made more in a day as a bartender than I did for a full month of work and cried, just wanting to give up. Trying to stay strong for this month, but I don't know what is happening, and despite subs going up, it's just not good. I feel like I should be working on finishing one of my books, something else, but there are only 24 hrs. in a day! Knowing my time is short for a baby.. VERY short, it's very, very sad to me, that I might miss out on that experience because of this injustice. **BREATHE**. It isn't fair. Allie said yesterday, "That girls is so lucky. She has a baby sister.. I want a baby sister or brother." I wanted to cry. We don't prevent, but we likely need help like with the girls and that takes money on its own. Super sad right now.
So anyhow, since I too needed a good smile and some laughs for the day (week, month, year), I am posting some adorable, tagged baby pics to bring smiles to your faces (and mine). Be sure to check out 5 days a week of You Tube videos of our family by clicking HERE NOW and subscribing. The girls are growing up SO fast, it is crazy! (I will put a few photos below.) I am super pressed for time because of You Tube and the kids home for summer and all, but I promise to try to post more often.
If anybody wishes to donates to Twinpossible for the years of free advice I have offered over the years on this blog, and to help us out to get out of this place and to keep our girls doing their dream, their gymnastics, feel free to donate to us. I have been selling much of what I personally own on Ebay for their cause, and even eBay isn't what it once was, and things just can't get much worse, and I hate complaining, but it's ongoing and I really feel like our dreams will never come true like this. My marriage is also suffering over this, severely. Prayers are also VERY much appreciated too!! I try and always put on a happy face and make the world laugh and help others, which does bring me great joy, but inside, sooo much is going on that people just don't see on the surface, but it's sooo there.
We would SO appreciate anything you could give. (ANYTHING AT ALL!) One day I hope to be able to give back immensely to our readers, fans & to numerous charities as well.
The girls recently:
Thanks for stopping by! God bless you all!

(Recompense of Indebtedness)
by Nichiren Shonin, translated by Taikyo Yajima, published
1988, 247 pages, Hardbound, Bilingual (English, Japanese)
Hoon is generally regarded
the way human beings should follow. Nichiren Shonin, however,
grasped the essence of the Hoon, regarded as a common ethic
in human society, to be fundamental to Buddhism. That is to
say, Nichiren Shonin saw that ultimately the concept of Hoon,
which is a moral code of ordinary society, has something in
common with the concept of attaining Buddhahood, which is
the basic principle of Buddhism. He believed that attainment
of Buddhahood was not a step in which individual reached an
ideal state but was the only way to perform the recompense
of indebtedness to all living beings.Nichiren Shonin came
to believe this as he saw that worldly and spiritual ideals
are ultimately one and the same. In other words, Nichiren
Shonin realized that complete attainment of Buddhahood meant
complete recompense of indebtedness to all living beings,
and that they are merely two sides of a coin.In the last chapter
he mentions the ultimate intention of his essay, that all
the merit he has accumulated by spreading the Lotus Sutra
at the risk of his life be dedicated to his late Master Dozen.

About this time last year I saw an amazing photo on Instagram of a girl in a field of golden poppies. It looked like it was out of The Wizard of Oz. After some searching I discovered that this magical place was not far from me! These hills of poppies were just past Santa Barbara, CA. About 45 minuets away from a trip I planed to Solvang, CA, I decided to hit the trail on my way home. Little did I know what I was in store for!

NuSkin Galvanic II Tool Left a Line on my Face
I went to a NuSkin party, and an independent distributor of NuSkin used the galvanic spa on my face, and she was very aggressive as she stroked this tool over my face. The end result was a two-inch deep red line on the left side of my cheek within 24 hours after she ran the tool over my face. The line has not gone away, and it has been on my face for 18 months now. I went to see a... READ MORE

If the pro shop says they are going to be open they should be open. And if their sign says they will be back at noon they should be back.
The fried pickles are a must.
99 cent games everyday for the first couple if hours. Lanes are oiled well. Pool tables, arcade, great bar food with service! Very clean!!!
Worst place to come for practice. Can't call ahead and there is always a wait. Not to mention the incompetent servers.
If you're free early in the morning there's 99 cent games till 11
.99 cent bowling everyday for the first 2 hours they're open.:-)
this is the worst run business I've ever seen. we called ahead 2 different times for info only to get to the alley within 15 min and the info was all bogus
NIcest bowling center in the state. 2 bars, food, arcade, very nice. You can have a party here, company parties, team challenges. Roll Em.
Its a family fun center. Don't call it a bowling alley!
$10 rock n bowl on Friday Nites after 6. Call first. Inc. Shoes.. aycb
40+ bowling lanes with a neat arcade. Laser tag is also available along with a full bar and they often have table service when you bowl. Well kept and tons of fun!
The bowling and arcade are both excellent. The drinks and food aren't bad. I've been here for company parties, a fundraiser and just hanging out with friends. Always fun!
Great food, 2 bars, comfy couches, good leagues. Love this place!
Horrible service. Corporate mindset overflows to the staff here. It is the single worst experience I have had bowling in my life. If you have kids and family do not waste your money here.
Request 4 pitchers of water at the beginning of your games so you don't run out. The waiter won't come around a second time.
This bowling alley is amazing!!
Friday night Rock and Roll/Cosmic bowling starts at 11pm.....
Friday night bowling/Cosmic bowling for $10 for 2 hours is still going!!!! .99 cent games in the first two hours their open everyday! Place is always clean, atmosphere is great, & staff is friendly!

Disclaimer – I don't own any of the characters. So yeah.
Warning – Blech.
Other – The last chapter wasn't exactly what I hoped it would be, but that's okay. This is my last chapter of this story. If you ask me nicely, I'll do a follow up story and/or a one shot fluff/smut scene. Remember, the review button is your friend.
Summary – It was supposed to be my secret. But I guess that's a problem when your best friend is a psychic.
I twirl a strand of hair around one finger. My earlier resolve of finding out once and for all what Raven wanted from me has faded into a faintly glimmering resolve to wait it out. After all, I have all summer and then some.
The midday sun shines down into my room, illuminating my face and I beam into the sunbeams. There is no way I could feel down on a beautiful day like today. Feeling brave, I pick up my cell phone and hit the one button, waiting for my speed dial to do its job.
"Hey Chels, what's up?" From the tone of Raven's voice, I can tell she's going to pretend last night never happened.
"Wanna get some lunch?" I'm willing to pretend, for now.
"Sure," She sounds hesitant, "Can I bring a friend?"
A friend. That sounds ominous, "A friend?"
"Yeah. You'll love him. He's a riot."
Oh. That kind of friend, "Sure."
"Great! Where should we meet you?"
"How about the sandwich place just down the street from your house?" I hope she can't hear the disappointment in my voice. It makes me wish I had chosen to date Kendra. Kendra's still an option, I tell myself.
"Okay. See you in ten." She hangs up quickly.
I stare at the background of my phone – a picture of me and her, probably taken by Eddie if my memory is right, standing in front of her house, smiling up a storm. It was obviously taken before Raven figured out my secret.
As I stroll through the sunshine, I take the necessary precautions. I'm about to meet Raven's new boyfriend and it wouldn't be right to break down in a sandwich shop. By the time I go inside, I have a bright smile plastered on my face.
"Chels, I hope you don't mind, but I ordered already. Got you a nice veggie foot long."
"Thanks!" I exclaim. At least she got my order right.
"Oh, before I start ramblin' on and all, Mike, this is Chelsea. Chelsea, this is Mike." Raven gestures to a handsome young man who's standing beside her.
"Nice to meet you," I shake his hand enthusiastically. I kind of wonder if Raven can see how fake my act is.
"Likewise." He's tall, well-built, with an easy smile and curly brown hair. I have no chance against him.
"So, Rae, where'd you find him?" I ask, taking a seat.
"My dad hired him at the Chill Grill as a summer employee." She explains, her smile widening, "I've been hangin' down there a lot lately and we just got to talking and all."
"Yeah, Rae's a great talker." They laugh together, sharing a moment.
"When did you two start dating?" The hurt in my voice is hidden behind a wall or two of well-positioned curiosity.
"Dating? Whoa, no thanks." He stammers and I raise my eye brows.
Raven's face brightens slightly and I begin to wonder if this wasn't some trap set up for me to fall into. Did she want to see what I'd do if she brought a boy between us?
"Yeah, Chels, chillax! Mike's battin' for the other team." She soothes.
"Wait, so you and Raven…"
"Just friends." He confirms.
"Yeah, I knew that." I blush horribly, "I was just… teasing. Yeah, just teasing you guys."
"Uh-huh." Raven smiles, "Well, I'll go get the sandwiches."
"So," Mike gazes at me, "How long?"
"How long what?"
"How long have you loved her?"
"Pffff, what?" I over exaggerate my words, "Love, no. She's just my friend."
"I'm not stupid." He elbows me softly, "And… she told me about your little fling with her."
I sink into my seat, completely embarrassed, "She did?"
"Yeah, and I think that she shouldn't have taken her mom's advice so seriously. I mean, what's the point of relationships if you don't take risks?"
"She knows I'm still waiting for her. As far as I'm concerned, the ball's in her court."
He drums his fingers on the table, "Want some friendly advice from your friendly neighborhood gay man?"
I shrug, "Sure."
"Kiss her. Make her see what she's missing by being silly."
My response is cut off by Raven's return. We all dig into our sandwiches and I think carefully about his advice. I completely agree with his words, too. Life is about taking risks and standing up for what you believe in. And right now I believe in making a relationship work with Raven.
"Mike, can you give us a moment?" I ask, eyeing him. He nods and smirks – clearly he knows what I'm up to. Grabbing his soft drink, he heads to another table.
"What's this about, Chelsea?" Raven questions. She's across the table, so I motion for her to come closer, feigning having a secret to tell. Falling for the ruse, she leans in and I kiss her.
At first I'm afraid that she's going to pull back and be disgusted, but after a few seconds, she settles in and returns the affection. A shudder of relief courses through me. As we part, my blush flares up again.
"Why are you sorry? I'm the one who told Mike to tell you to kiss me." Raven's grin suddenly seems ten times as sinister.
"You what?" My jaw falls open.
"Yeah, well, I was doin' some thinking and decided, what the heck. We only live once, right? And I can't stand hurting you. I figure, well, I want to try again. And really try this time."
"Pinch me." I command. If this is a dream, it's cruel and I want to wake up.
"Um, ok?" She pinches me gently and I wince slightly.
So this isn't a dream. But it's too good to be true.
"Why won't I wake up?"
"Chels, this isn't a dream. I'm serious. And I'm sorry for doing this to you. My mom didn't mean to hurt you, either, I'm sure."
"But what about our friendship?"
"Life changes, Chels, and it's up to us to change with it." Raven comes close again, planting a second kiss on my startled face.
"Rae, I would have waited until forever for you, you know?" I pant out.
"Good thing I caught you now, though," she tweaks my nose, "I don't even want to know what you'll look like after forever."
"Does this mean…" I can't finish my statement.
Mike sits back down, beaming, "Ah, two lovebirds. My work here is done."
Winking at me, Raven pats his back, "Yeah, it's all thanks to you, Mike."
He nods, puffing his chest out, "All in a day's work, of course."
We clean up our mess and head down the street, back to Raven's. Mike leaves us at the base of Raven's driveway, heading back to the Chill Grill. Before we get into the house, Raven's face distorts; she's having a vision.
"Raven! What happened?" I tug on her arm impatiently as she snaps out of it.
A sly smile sneaks across her face, "I won't tell you, but I'm sure looking forward to it."
Somehow, I'm fine with not knowing what comes next. After all, when your best friend's a psychic, you're almost better off not knowing. If it's meant to happen, it will.
We're standing in front of her front door and I trail my fingers along her jaw, pulling her face towards me, placing a loving kiss on her lips. The door swings open, a shutter clicks, and Raven hollers loudly. I nearly burst out laughing – I hope Raven wasn't hoping to keep us a secret this time.
But then again, secrets were meant to be told.

H. Abstract: Hong Kong has a good practice and experience in cooperative collection development of print books through the Hong Kong Monograph Acquisitions Consortium (HKMAC). This consortium is formed by all eight UGC-funded university libraries in Hong Kong. Drawing on its experiences, another consortium, Electronic Resources Academic Library Link (ERALL), was formed to purchase E-books. While this presentation reviews ERALL's funding arrangement and organizational structure, we have also examined the different aspects of E-book purchases such as selection criteria, number, costs, savings, subjects and duplications, etc. A comparison is highlighted between HKMAC and ERALL, as both are jurisdictional consortium, exercising the strongest bargaining power. A usage study conducted at City University of Hong Kong is also presented in comparing the daily check-out rate on print circulating English books without E-version and those with E-version. Check-out rates on books with E-version have further be examined base on their subject areas and E-book packages, such as ERALL and Cicada. Interesting findings were gathered from this study which will provide direction for future research. 2008-12-13T03:11:07Z MyiLibrary http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/5172 Title: MyiLibrary Authors: Rosy, Rich 2008-06-03T00:00:00Z Recent E-Book consortium model changes in university libraries in Korea and its utilization http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/5171 Title: Recent E-Book consortium model changes in university libraries in Korea and its utilization Authors: Park, Yeon-Hee Abstract: Since KERIS initiated the e-book consortia in the year 2002, e-books have played an important role to balance the collection of books irrespective of the size of libraries and a method of joint acquisitions was applied to the consortia.; This research is conducted with overall consortia models of online resources by KERIS (Korea Education & Research Information Service). The purpose of the study is to comprehensively investigate Korean consortia models, recent changes in the consortium modeling process and e-book usage by way of title selection. Also, it introduces how the consortium governing body, KERIS manages the e-book consortium effectively from a Korean perspective. The e-book consortium modeling process specifically entailed the following: identifying an appropriate consortium model, sampling the consortium size for pricing models and selecting the criteria for e-book title selection.; E-book consortium models are categorized according to subscription methods, title selection and the number of copies needed for purchase by the consortium. First, there are 2 types of e-book consortium models on how the consortia subscribes. One is the lease model paying for the selected title every year and having an annual access. The other is the purchase model having a perpetual access. As for the KERIS e-book consortium subscription model, it could not be continued since the librarians had difficulty in paying the e-book content fees every year and renewing the license. So, both sharing and purchasing options are preferred and regarded as quite cost-effective for Korean universities since they try to balance their digital and paper collections. Second, owing to the multiple copy requests from publishers for the last 3 years, the consortium has been changed from a one copy consortium to multiple copies and it has affected the title selection. In detail focusing on the netLibrary e-book consortium, title selection has been modified 3 times due to the consortium policy changes of the publishers. In the beginning, every university selected a title they would like to buy and shared the total collection. Since the year 2005 publishers have started to request multiple copies, the university who needed the title from multiple-copy publishers should buy the total consortium copies of each title needed. From the year 2006 all the publishers requested multiple copies for the consortia and negotiated the minimum number of copies of each title according to the number of participating libraries.; One more thing to analyze is the usage analysis of the policy of the publishers - one-copy share model, multiple-copies share model - by subject and by title compared to the 2005 and 2006 collections, For 6 consecutive years 107 unique universities have been participating and approximately 42,230 titles are currently in the KERIS e-book consortia. It led to the discovery of a few usage patterns in Korea and suggests reasonable volume quality and quantity and policy on the consortia collection management. 2008-06-03T00:00:00Z

Supramolecular Bimetallic Assemblies for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation from Water(full pdf)

A series of supramolecular assemblies of the type [Ru(L-L)2(L'-L)MX2)]n+ are reported where L-L is 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) 4,4'- di-tetra-butyl-bipyridine (tbbipy) or 4,4'-diethoxycarbonyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dceb) and L-L' is tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3",2"- h:2'",3'"-j]phenazine (tpphz), 2,2':5',2"-terpyridine (2,5-bpp), 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine, (2,6-bpp), 2,5-di(pyridine-2- yl)pyrazine (2,5-dpp) or 2,3-di(pyridine-2-yl)pyrazine (2,3-dpp), and MX2 is PdCl2, PtCl2 or PtI2. The photocatalytic behaviour with respect to hydrogen generation of these compounds and their ultrafast photophysical properties are discussed as a function of the nature of the peripheral ligands, the bridging ligands and the catalytic centre. The results obtained show how differences in the chemical composition of the photocatalysts can affect intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer processes and the overall photocatalytic efficiency.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cinemark in June 2010.
Turned in an application, about two weeks later got a phone-call to come in for an initial interview. I went in and answered some very basic questions and got called a second time the next day to come in again for an interview with the general manager. It was very brief (they offered me the job), then got a time set up fo rme to come in and file paperwork and do orientation.

Sometimes it's helpful to have simple reminders about what's important in a complex process.
The "4 Ps" of digital analytics represent one such reminder.
It helps you understand both the key elements in a successful digital analytics effort as well as the relative importance (and sequence) of each item.
There's a reason it's a list and not an array. One comes first. One comes last.
- People
- Purpose
- Process
- Platform
That's the sequence and the relative importance of these critical elements. Notice that "people" comes first, and "platform" comes last.
Many companies fail by focusing on "platform" while ignoring either some or all of the first three elements of success. They fall victim to sales pitches from platform vendors who want to tell them it's their tool only that will solve the problem, no matter the environment.
Make no mistake: you absolutely need a platform. But you decide what that is after you've got the right people, have a purpose to your measurement, and a process wherein you'll generate marketing success. Then, and only then, should you add the platform.
The best platforms will be able to adapt to your people, purpose, and process; the lesser ones will have restrictions and will need to attempt to impose process, purpose, and sometimes even people; these should be seen as weaknesses in the offering, rather than features.
The best tools are adaptable and powerful, and can be configured by people who have a purpose and process.
People: Who's going to understand how to do all this? People are. Expertise is the first essential ingredient. Minus this, the rest is for naught.
Purpose: What do you want? You have to know what you want to know and what you would do about it if you knew it, before you decide what to measure and with what platform. Some folks call it KPIs, but that's really just the half of it. The other half is the "doing something." It's equally important.
Process: How are you going to do this over and over? Think about something like this: define, measure, analyze, change, and measure again. It's a virtuous cycle of improvement. Implemented properly it should look like an upward-charging spiral of better and better marketing.
Platform: Once you know the above, go out into the marketplace and find out which tool matches your requirements best. These days, especially in multi-channel or convergence analytics, there are probably a hundred vendors to look at. They range from all-encompassing suites that want you to marry them and deploy everywhere, all the time; to point-solutions that elegantly solve a single part of the problem (and then you can cobble it with other elegant point solutions).
The most important part is understanding the sequence. First, you need people who know what they are doing. Then, those folks should determine what you want to know, and what you will do about what you find out. After that, your smart people need to settle on a process, the broad outlines of which are easy to discern. Finally, they need to locate a tool or set of tools to accomplish their goals.
And your expert people then need to take responsibility for the entire effort looking much more like an upward-vaulting spiral than a lazy doodle.
